Skip to comments.The Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Show Thread - Thursday, January 26, 2012
Posted on 01/26/2012 8:10:15 AM PST by IMissPresidentReagan
AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and hes not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (thats Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! Americas anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to dothats host. Get ready to what you were born to dothats listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
I try not to look at pictures of either, unless absolutely necessary, but if you like I shall google it for you. Although.....I warn ahead, barf bags are probably needed. ;0)
"Which is why I won't vote for the Republican nominee if the GOP Establishment Elites succeed in nominating their candidate. I'm not going to become to the Republican party what blacks have become to the Democrat party. "
Making this point to my wife last night.
Mitt is It....brings I'm done FOREVER with the GOP.
New Conservative Tea Party needed.
No, no delusions here. Criticize Rush for criticizing Newt and you're on the job toot sweet. Then there's days on the Rush thread talking about it. Delusions, bah.
The walk back has begun. . . yes. Until TODAY I could not listen to Rush, Mark or Hannity at all. Rush has been my icon since 1988, but his/their support (non support wink wink) of Newt has been so uninformed. . . . and so obvious that anyone who can read between the lines knows it. It comes as no surprise to me that the Newt candidacy is a con. What are these guys thinking?
Thank God reason seems to be prevailing today.
I can't say the words on the internet I am thinking right now....
The more the Bob Doles and establishment GOP idios in DC do NOT want Newt, the more I DO! I WANT the old guard of the GOP kicked out on their ass along with the magic Negro!
Dole giving advice on how to avoid a Democrat landslide?
Um . . .
Sure you can. The SOPA censorship hasn't taken effect yet.
—Have you seen the latest broadside against Newt on NRO?! Its about how Newt will get the GOP destroyed in the general election. Guess who wrote it? BOB DOLE! Yeah, theres a guy who knows a lot about how to win Presidential elections.—
And now Rush is reading it, verbatim.
Wait, empty ice bucket? Huh? What did I miss?
I don't follow your post, as I've not criticized Rush for criticizing Noot, but I also am blindly "following" Rush anywhere. See, I actually think for myself, and do not need Rush to endorse, or not endorse a candidate for me to decide whether he is good or bad. I listen to Rush, and enjoy Rush; but I'm not crying because he didn't step in and endorse anyone, I'm not angry at him for criticizing anyone, and whether or not he likes who I like, or he talks about meanly about my candidate or has wet dreams about my candidate has zero impact on my ability to determine who to vote for on my own.
If Rush came on and advocated tax hikes; I'd take issue with him. If Rush sat on a couch with Nancy Pelosi, or touted Global Warming with John Kerry; if Rush sat on a stage with Hilary and discussed the need for an individual mandate, I'd take him to task for that. If Rush ran for political office and advocated a state government ran health care program; if he were elected official who said one thing while practicing another, I'd call him out for that.
He's not an elected official and he's not running for office, he's an entertainer. The really pathetically sad thing is so few are able to tell the difference.
Im so freakin confused, what is the goal here with Rush.
Got any anti-conspiracy kook spray?
I personally don't give a crap about his open marriage. I do not believe Newt used those words. I think he told maryann he was seeing calista and wanted a divorce. I think maryann said NO. Newt said. Fine, do you want. So she tells everyone he wanted an open marriage. And, if he did want to go along with seeing calista and still staying married to Maryann, well, i think that at least 1 out 4 marriages are that way now. Couldn't care less.
Keep repeating a lie.... Newt was exonerated of all the lynch mobs charges. They are all lying through their teeth.
Newt must know where a lot of bodies are buried. WE need Newt if for nothing else but to kept from having to crawl to the rino republicans.
I've been a big Rush supporter for years but today he is reminding me of Karl Rove when he attacked Christine O'Donnell..... and I'm liking it not one bit. If Rush had a preferred candidate, he should have went public long before the field got narrowed to this point. Unless, of course, Mitt Romney IS his favored candidate as it appears to be now.
I don't understand why so many people rely so desperately on Rush to endorse anyone? Especially if they've already made their mind up.
Endorsements actually mean little to me, and I'm always insulted when people rely solely on endorsements to make their decision. What an intellectually lazy way to make a decision. I like x. X likes Y. Therefore I must like Y. Jeez.
Ditto...If Macain and DOle diss newt...it makes me want Newt more.
i'm shopping for a conservative president with the least character flaws - and whoever i end up voting for, i won't make excuses for his flaws
i'm not a catholic either - so i don't understand the technicalities of catholic divorce categories
seems to me to show some bad judgment though
Getting the truth out. Much of this is also documented with audio and video clips. As Rush said until this all hit today, he had no idea any of this was taking place. I also think he's preparing us for what's coming from the liberals not only about Newt, but about anyone else who's going up against Obama.
Yeah, I know Perry performed badly in the first couple debates, that's when I lost interest him. Then when his staff reported that Perry had back surgery just a few days before the first debate and was taking prescription pain killers in order to campaign, I started to think about him again.
You have to admit that Perry was a different person in the last two debates, when he was off the pain killers. Frankly, I've experienced problems in talking when I've been on medication. It's like you just can't put your thoughts together.
I'm wondering if Rush wants Obama!
I don't really care; but what bothers me are the people who would care if it were anyone but Noot.
Also, as I have said at least three times already; I'm more troubled that he knowingly overstated his rebuttal to ABC. Just say it wasn't true and move on; he didn't have to lie; he still would have gotten a standing ovation. The fact he felt the need to is what is troubling.
I am still trying to figure out the ice bucket....but Jan Brewer i understand! On that Tarmac photo...she was not backing down. And THAT is what the four candidates still standing need to learn. Take it directly to Obama. Don't qualify his failures w/ platitudes like "he is in over his head."
You didn't follow because I talked about criticizing others who criticize Rush. Disagree with Rush and what happens here? You're a 'llort' of whatever other ridiculousness can be thought up. You do that. Just calling you on it.
It's a busy tank—LOL!
I just don't know at this point. Our choices aren't that fabulous.
I can't help but wonder if the Establishment gets their way and we end up with Romney, and he gets clobbered by Obama in November, what will they say then? Will they admit they were wrong? Or will they just try to blame the Tea Party?
I'm up for that. The GOP sickens me.
Essentially, cma. extend the primary season. get behind Romney. Stay tuned for more of the same from Hannity & Mark. Long overdue, but better late than never.
ROTFL!! The Rinos hate him!
I'm not sure they've manufactured enough for all the conspiracies going around. I'm beginning I need a multi-leveled decoder ring to follow everything.
Who am I supposed to be cheering on, now?
Oh, by the way, I met Gingrich once. He came to a nearby town to push his Contract with America and campaign for Slade Gorton.
I went because I was excited to be able to meet Gingich in person and hear him speak. It was a small venue and I was able to actually shake hands and speak briefly with the Speaker. I came away with the feeling that he wasn't sincere. I was disappointed. ....but I was and still am willing to support him if he ends up being our candidate.
Vote Santorum!
Barry's magic has been gone for near a year......internally, his commie lovers are pissed the O has not gone far enuf and where the hell are those mules ?
..The SOTU speech was phoned in.....every facit was off
I think I would like it if these radio hosts would just stop taking calls until after the election. These callers are such idiots!
It's not so much that Rush is "in the tank" for anyone ...Newt (and the rest of us "outsiders") are seen as a less profitable alternative for all the elites in both parties. Rush is being pressured by Romney (he just said so) and is now doing "damage control" ...he's caught in the middle of forces far more powerful than his syndicated show.
It has gotten so bad that people are circulating a story that Calista had a lady arrested for breast feeding in our neighborhood. The anti-Newt people are in a frenzy.
Nope. People are trolls for purposefully coming on a thread to start fights. Coming on to consistently whine about whatever pet issue isn't getting discussed just to start a fight because you didn't get enough attention from your parents and this is the only way you can get someone to pay you any mind is sad and trollish behavior.
There's been plenty of criticism of Rush on this thread. Plenty of people not called trolls. Coming on this thread to tell me you've had a hissy fit and aren't listening to Rush any longer serves 0 purpose, provides 0 rational discussion and is the behavior of a troll.
Of course, I don't go places to complain about the topic. I don't seek out Ron Paul threads to call him names or insult people. People who do that are just as equally trolls as the people who behave in like manner on this thread.
If you can't see that, I could care less. If you think I blindly follow Rush, you're free to think whatever you wish. If you can't see the difference between a presidential candidate and an entertainer, please stay away from voting booth.
Well stated. Thank you. Too many sheep who do though, unfortunately.
Bain Capital owns Clear Channel. Rush has gone to the dark side.
Ann Coulter, known (Goproud supporter), Drudge (alleged gay ..well just look at him) his editor Brit Hume (had a gay son) and everyone on the net who is parroting Drudge's all-day-long attack on Newt with no...no Romney negatives. And refusing to post any rebuttals from anyone here or elsewhere.
They are fighting for the heart of the GOP and Rush is falling for their setup.
It's not just the callers anymore, FRiend. It's everyone, it seems.
I had a fly on that wall yesterday......it was way more heated than reported so far
"Whats ridiculous is how people are upset with everyone but the person who actually SAID the things being reported. If I ever become a blind follower of someone in that manner, please, please, please, slap the snot out of me."
Yes and no. What's the point in allowing yourself to become distressed at something Newt said? You could probably go back through the history of any politician and find hundreds of silly and contradictory statements. What's the point? I'm not interested in vetting Newt anymore. I already know I prefer him over the other candidates, and nothing anyone can possibly post is going to change my mind. I don't see that as being a "blind follower" - I see that as having made up my mind and resent a vast and powerful group of people using media propaganda in an attempt to change it.
I'm in a total funk today. Everywhere I turn (Fox News, Drudge, Rush Limbaugh) it is full-on attack Newt.
I watched Newt's VERY inspiring speech about the future of space yesterday ...twice. I did so because it was uplifting and encouraging and filled with evidences of American greatness, proven many times in history.
Today, all we hear is Newt wants people on the moon, making it sound like he's nuts (which we can do with anybody when comments are taken totally out of context).
For years Rush preaches conservatism over Republicanism, yet when it comes down to crunch time will not call Romney for what he is ...a Massachusetts moderate with extreme leftward leanings.
So go Rush, do your "Operation Bombastic" and help prolong the process until Mitt is the eventual winner (and who said you couldn't buy an election???).
Going back to my funk...
Is Rush living paycheck to paycheck? Is he worried that if he loses his job, he may end up sleeping on the street?
Is Rush worried that he lacks marketable skills? He's just lucky to have this current job and if he loses it, he might never work again?
Is Rush trying to establish a name for himself as a good soldier, and is he worried that some folks might start to call him a rabble-rouser?
Exactly why is Rush susceptible to pressure from ANYONE??

George W. Bush may have stepped away from the political spotlight, but he seems to have won the popular (audience) vote – on Tuesday's The Tonight Show.
The former president stopped by to chat with Jay Leno, matching wits with the host as he unfurled a series of off-the-cuff zingers that left both Leno and his audience in stitches.
Case in point: When the host asked why he finally accepted Leno's invitation to return to the show (this was his fourth appearance on it), a deadpan Bush, 67, slyly jabbed at Leno's upcoming exit from the show.
"You're about to head out to pasture – just wanted to see what you looked like before you got to the gate," Bush cracked.
The former commander in chief also admitted he doesn't miss the limelight – "eight years of the spotlight is enough" – and explained why he remains largely mum on issues of public policy.
"I don't think it's good for the country to have a former president criticize his successor," Bush, whose wife, Laura Bush, also joined her husband at one point during the interview.
So what keeps the former chief executive busy these days?
Painting – lots of it. Bush showed off some of his own artwork (fond of painting his pets, he signs his works "43") and even brought Leno a personal present: a portrait of the host that he painted.
"There's a Rembrandt trapped in this body," he recalled once telling his painting teacher. "Your job is to find it."
He also gushed about the newest addition to the Bush clan: 7-month-old granddaughter Mila Hager, the daughter of Jenna Bush Hager and husband Henry Hager.
"It was a little slow at first because the kid didn't say much," Bush joked when asked about being a first-time grandparent.
But a moment later, the doting grandfather nodded his head and quietly said, "I'm hooked."

The determination of the diastolic arterial pressure is second in clinical importance only to that of the systolic pressure. The average of the two approximates the mean blood-pressure and their difference the pulse-pressure, both of them values of considerable significance. Under favorable conditions, some notion of the systolic output of the heart can be obtained by dividing the pulse-pressure by the mean pressure, while the product of pulse-pressure by pulse-rate often gives us an idea of the absolute work done by the heart. The reason why the determination of the diastolic pressure by the general practitioner has been comparatively neglected seems to be that the simpler methods, as ordinarily practiced, give uncertain results, while the more accurate ones require a rather bulky apparatus.
The methods for estimating the diastolic pressure may be grouped into four classes, the palpatory, the visual, the graphic and the auscultatory. All

Update, Jan 27th 9:04 PM:
According to Nick Kypreos at Sportsnet, Arnott had knee surgery this offseason.
Kevin DeLury:
Holy crap. I go and hang out with my family for a few hours and everything falls apart. This really is a blow to the Rangers. The Arnott signing would have been a tremendous move for this team. He would have provided veteran leadership and some much needed help on the power play and faceoffs. Obviously, the Rangers are interested in upgrading their lineup, but I'm not sure there's another Arnott-type player available right now.
Update, Jan 27th 7:25 PM:
#NYR Tentative one-year deal between Rangers and Jason Arnott is OFF, source tells ESPN NY. Was not cleared by NYR team doctors
— Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) January 28, 2013
Well, there goes that idea…
Original Post: Jan 26, 2013 7:30 PM
Arnott and NYR agree to contract. 1 year. Cap hit around $1.6 -$1.7.Contract being finalized now. Arnott en route to NYC.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) January 26, 2013
Arnott last season in 72 games with St. Louis was 17-17-34.
Badly needed depth signing for a team getting no secondary scoring. Question is, who sits? Halpern who can't win a faceoff, or someone like Rupp who suddenly can't win scraps?

Comedy Central (Sundays, 10:30 p.m. ET)
The channel's first foray into animation is this droll series about a Manhattan psychiatrist (voice of comedian Jonathan Katz). He must contend with his grownup slugabed son who still lives at home and with an office full of nutty patients (voices and neuroses provided by stand-up comics like Larry Miller, Laura Kightlinger and Dom Irerra). Dr. Katz is a cartoon cross between The Bob Newhart Show and Seinfeld.

The fixtures for the 2013/14 Premier League season are out and Manchester United have been dealt a cruel blow.
The Red Devils face an extraordinarily tough start to the campaign. In compiling a list of David Moyes' side's six toughest fixtures of the season, it's clear that three will be played before the end of September.
It will be intriguing to see how the new United boss transitions to life at Old Trafford this term.
If he can win a few of these games, he will already be doing well.

A federal judge ruled Monday that MoveOn.org does not have to remove a billboard criticizing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal for refusing to accept federal funding to expand Medicaid for 242,000 Louisiana citizens. The judgment doesn't erase the memory of a US justice system that screwed up an important ruling on the First Amendment.
The decision in favor of MoveOn.org, however, is a symbolic step toward demonstrating respect for what the First Amendment is really about.
Louisiana filed suit against MoveOn.org March 14, stating that the advocacy group violated a state trademark when it used the slogan "Pick your passion" in a billboard on Interstate 10 criticizing the state's refusal to accept Medicaid funding, according to The New Orleans Times-Picayune.
"We have invested millions of dollars in identifying the Louisiana: Pick Your Passion brand with all that is good about Louisiana. No group should be allowed to use the brand for its own purposes, especially if it is for partisan political posturing," said Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, who is running for governor next year.
"It is very sad to see the state spend taxpayer money on a frivolous lawsuit instead of providing health care to the people of Louisiana," said MoveOn.org Executive Director Anna Galland in the group's response to the lawsuit.
"Once our lawyers receive and have a chance to fully review the complaint we will have more to say. In the meantime, we strongly urge Gov. Jindal to do the right thing and allow 242,000 Louisianans to access Medicaid," she said.
"The state has failed to demonstrate a compelling reason to curtail MoveOn.org's political speech in favor of protecting of the state's service mark," said US District Court Judge Shelly Dick.
"This decision is a victory for common sense, freedom of speech and the 242,000 Louisianians being denied health care because of Gov. Jindal and Louisiana Republicans' outrageous refusal to let them access Medicaid," Galland said in response to Dick's ruling.
"While we are pleased with today's outcome," Galland said, "it's a shame that the state filed this baseless lawsuit in the first place – which nearly every lawyer with basic knowledge of the First Amendment said they'd lose."
Kevin Werhan, a constitutional law professor at Tulane University, said lawsuits such as Dardenne's are typically unsuccessful.
"The government can't legally silence those who are criticizing them (sic)," Werhan said.
Certainly, the precedent is one that should have been a common sense ruling. In fact, it's a decision I'd even argue is one that Dick should have dismissed without wasting the time and effort of Dardenne and MoveOn.org. We saw with the US Supreme Court's ruling last Wednesday that weakened campaign contribution limits, however, that even seasoned judges don't always interpret the Constitution or previous case law correctly.
With that said, Dick decisively shot down the prospect that anyone in Louisiana could be confused by MoveOn.org's use of the state's tourism slogan in its advertisement critical of Jindal.
"In this Court's view, the Lt. Gov. underestimates the intelligence and reasonableness of people viewing the billboard," Dick wrote in her ruling.
As long as the US continues to operate organizations such as the NSA and judges continue to diminish the meaning of the First Amendment by trying to stretch it to include campaign finance spending under the category of free speech, threats against real freedom of expression by the average citizen will continue to lurk. It will take a number of rulings similar to Dick's before anyone can comfortably announce that the First Amendment has won the battle once and for all.

I won't be eating steaks so I'll be eating alternatives. Today was a 200g pork neck steak and 4 eggs for breakfast, dinner was a bit mish-mash...200ml coconut milk with 200g prawns and 4 eggs scrambled. Also had a couple of slices of pizza and i now feel like crap, so tired and lethargic, only green 20 minutes since i had the slices and they weren't even that big!!
Today is my fourth whole day. Starting weight was 250lbs, approx 20-25% body fat. I've actually put on a pound or two. Feel great though.

I'm a Red Wings fan in Northern California (aka Sharks Territory!!). I doing PR work for a local tattoo shop and the owner told me that if I can boost the shops' Facebook likes to 1,000 before the season begins, he will gladly hang a Red Wings flag from the front of the business every game-day! The likes are just over 800, so I'm hoping some help from fellow Red Wings fans would be enough of a push to get that flag on display!
All it takes is a 'Like' for this page: Victory Tattoo

Family Vacation Day Four: Boring.Casey Mullins
While it may seem a good idea to pack as much fun as possible into a family vacation, I can attest that this is not always a good idea. Day four will go down as one of the most boring, yet one of the most necessary. Day four was our transition from staying with Cody's sister to staying in our room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge in Disney World. Before we left the comforts of a real home I took the opportunity to do some laundry, make sure everyone was fed as well as they could be for free and leave as little evidence that my family of four had ransacked this single girl's apartment for three days.
With Cody still incapacitated it was up to me to pack and load everything up, hooray! One of the biggest signals that Cody was still really sick? He didn't even bat an eye when I had bell services help me bring up all of our luggage. Our room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge was amazing, the girls had bunk beds (which would be Vivi's first time ever sleeping in a real bed) and we had all sorts of animals roaming around right outside our room. Vivi called them all cows and goats, she could generally be found either yelling or mooing at them from our balcony.
Since we were there for Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend we took off to the expo to find race packets, last minute race gear, timing information and a to get a general feel of the entire weekend to come. The general feel for our family was slow and kind of cranky. After finding something everyone would eat for dinner we were all fast asleep by 8:30 — which if you think about it, is just the kind of vacation perk tired parents need. (It also didn't take Vivi long to fall out of bed, twice.)
Family Vacation Tally Day Three:
Bodily Fluids: 0 (Total for the week: 3)
Crying Fits: 1 (Total for the week: 6)
Best! Day! Ever! Declarations: 0 (Total for the week: 0)
Tantrums: 0 (Total for the week: 2)
Things Eaten Off the Ground: 0 (Total for the week: 2)

I need your remarks in this problem.
I have ode. diff(y(x),x)=f(x,y); x in [0,a]; h:=a/(2*N); stepsize.
When the the true solution is not Known, we can test the rate of convergence, of numerical solution. The Numerical solution generated when the stepsize is 2*h denoted by y_i^(2h) and the numerical solution with step size h will be denoted by y_i^(h).
if we define the epsilon(h):=sqrt ( 1/(N+1)*add( (y_i^(2h) -y_(2i)^(h) )^2, i=0..N));
If we useForward Euler ( it's Known that the golbal error isof order 1 and local error of order 2) in the case when the exact solution is know.
But, If we use epsilon(h), and for the same method can some one know the order of Error =h^?????.
Thank you.

Study: High Combat Activity Producing Epidemic of Acute Stress in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON — Acute stress is rampant among troops in Afghanistan who are experiencing "a dramatic increase" in the levels of combat activity, according to a recent study. The study found that stress and combat activity were significantly higher than levels reported at any other period when the survey was taken, i.e. 2005, 2007 or 2009.
U.S. Army Sgt. David Smitt maintains overwatch during an air assault patrol with U.S. soldiers and British gunners in Afghanistan's Kandahar province,
Feb. 10, 2011. U.S. Army photo by Sadie Bleistein.
"We know from history that behavioral health and morale can be linked to combat intensity," said Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, MD. "Measures of combat exposure are at historically high levels for these MHAT studies."
The findings were reported in the 2010 Joint Mental Health Advisory Team (MHAT) survey, which has been conducted to assess the behavioral health of troops since 2003. The most recent study included 911 soldiers and 335 marines surveyed during July and August of 2010. In addition, 85 surveys were collected from behavioral health personnel deployed in Afghanistan.
Among the soldiers, more than 60% said in the survey that they had experienced an IED exploding near them, compared with 48% in 2009; nearly three-fourths had experienced a member of their unit dying, compared with 63% in 2009. Nearly 80% had experienced shooting at the enemy, and nearly half had said they were responsible for the death of a combatant.
Marines also reported heavy fighting. Nearly 80% said they had experienced a fellow marine in their unit become a death casualty, compared with 27% in 2007; about 67% said they had experienced an IED exploding near them, compared with 30% in 2007; 75% said they shot at the enemy, and 66% said they were responsible for killing a combatant.
Addressing Mental Health
Schoomaker acknowledged "there are few stresses on the human psyche as extreme as exposure to combat." He said the military is taking a holistic and comprehensive approach in helping troops in theater deal with stress.
Moving the "behavioral health indices when you have extremely high combat exposure," is difficult, according to Col. Paul Bliese, who led the study. Still, he said the research team was struck by the fact that the surveyed troops did not appear to be having "as much of an increase in the mental health symptoms as we would have expected," given the increase in intense combat. He acknowledged, however, that individuals often report symptoms when they return from combat, so this does not mean that these individuals will not later experience problems.
The report also had some positive findings, officials reported. For example, soldiers and marines reported high levels of cohesion and perceived unit readiness relative than in past years, which can counter the negative effects of the high combat exposure. In addition, soldiers and marines reported having received more adequate training for suicide prevention and handling combat stress than in previous years.
"I look at those items in the report from that lens, and I would say that one can make the case that there have been some positive changes done in the military, doing what we can do with a very difficult situation in terms of preparing soldiers for the harsh reality of combat," said Bliese.
Capt. Frederick Kass, deputy to the Medical Officer of the Marine Corps, pointed out that not all solutions for helping troops manage stress in theater are medical, but that others include providing realistic training, unit cohesion and a clear sense of mission. Page 2

Credit enhancement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2011)
Bonds by issuer
Credit enhancement is the improvement of the credit profile of a structured financial transaction or the methods used to improve the credit profiles of such products or transactions. It is a key part of the securitization transaction in structured finance, and is important for credit rating agencies when rating a securitization.
Types[edit source | edit]
There are two primary types of credit enhancement: internal and external.
Internal credit enhancement[edit source | edit]
Subordination or credit tranching[edit source | edit]
Senior/Subordinated structures are the most popular technique to create internal credit enhancement. The cash flows generated by the assets are allocated with different priority to classes of different seniority. The senior/subordinated structure thus consists of several tranches, from the most senior to the most subordinated (or junior). The subordinated tranches function as protective layers of the more senior tranches. The class of highest seniority has first right on the available principal cash flows. This structural protection is called the waterfall structure. The priority for the cash flows comes from the top, while the distribution of the losses rises from the bottom. If an asset in the pool defaults, losses thus incurred are allocated bottom up (from the most junior to the most senior tranche). The senior tranche is unaffected unless losses exceed the amount of the subordinated tranches, and is usually rated AAA.
Excess spread[edit source | edit]
The excess spread is the difference between the interest rate received on the underlying collateral and the coupon on the issued security. It is typically one of the first defenses against loss. Even if some of the underlying loan payments are late or default, the coupon payment can still be made. In the process of "turboing", excess spread is applied to outstanding classes as principal.[1]
Overcollateralization[edit source | edit]
Overcollateralization (OC) is a commonly used form of credit enhancement. With this support structure, the face value of the underlying loan portfolio is larger than the security it backs, thus the issued security is overcollateralized. In this manner, even if some of the payments from the underlying loans are late or default, principal and interest payments on the asset-backed security (ABS) can still be made.[1]
Reserve account[edit source | edit]
A reserve account is created to reimburse the issuing trust for losses up to the amount allocated for the reserve. To increase credit support, the reserve account will often be non-declining throughout the life of the security, meaning that the account will increase proportionally up to some specified level as the outstanding debt is paid off.[1]
External credit enhancement[edit source | edit]
Surety bonds[edit source | edit]
Surety bonds are insurance policies that reimburse the ABS for any losses. They are external forms of credit enhancement. ABS paired with surety bonds have ratings that are the same as that of the surety bond's issuer.[1] By law, surety companies cannot provide a bond as a form of a credit enhancement guarantee.
Wrapped securities[edit source | edit]
A wrapped security is insured or guaranteed by a third party. A third party or, in some cases, the parent company of the ABS issuer may provide a promise to reimburse the trust for losses up to a specified amount. Deals can also include agreements to advance principal and interest or to buy back any defaulted loans. The third-party guarantees are typically provided by AAA-rated financial guarantors or monoline insurance companies.[1]
Letter of credit[edit source | edit]
With a letter of credit (LOC), a financial institution — usually a bank — is paid a fee to provide a specified cash amount to reimburse the ABS-issuing trust for any cash shortfalls from the collateral, up to the required credit support amount. Letters of credit are becoming less common forms of credit enhancement, as much of their appeal was lost when the rating agencies downgraded the long-term debt of several LOC-provider banks in the early 1990s. Because securities enhanced with LOCs from these lenders faced possible downgrades as well, issuers began to utilize cash collateral accounts instead of LOCs in cases where external credit support was needed.[1]
Cash collateral account[edit source | edit]
With a cash collateral account (CCA), credit enhancement is achieved when the issuer borrows the required credit support amount from a commercial bank and then deposits this cash in short-term commercial paper that has the highest available credit quality. Because a CCA is an actual deposit of cash, a downgrade of the CCA provider would not result in a similar downgrade of the security.[1]

performing their works:
Beth Nielsen Chapman is most famous for "This Kiss," performed by Faith Hill. Other artists who have recorded her songs include Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Roberta Flack, Amy Grant and Willie Nelson. Movie soundtracks and television shows also have featured her work.
Early in his career, Scotty Emerick wrote "Round Here" and other hits for Sawyer Brown and several cuts for George Strait and Ronnie Milsap. In 1997, he met Toby Keith and collaborated with him on five albums, with tunes such as "I Love This Bar" and "Beer For My Horses." Emerick has performed on numerous tours with Keith and on USO tours to U.S. military bases abroad.
Richard Leigh broke into the songwriting business in 1976 when Crystal Gayle recorded his song, "I'll Get Over You" and took it to the top of the country chart. Two years later, he was awarded Song of the Year for "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." In 1994, Leigh was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters' Hall of Fame.

Her compositions were recorded by Sara Evans, Lee Ann Womack, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Pam Tillis and Willie Nelson, among others.
A founder of the Nashville Hitmakers show, Even Stevens, has too many awards to list in a small space. His hit songs include "I Love a Rainy Night," "When You're In Love With a Beautiful Woman," "Love Will Turn You Around" and "Suspicions." His music also has been incorporated into television shows and movies. Hundreds of singers have recorded his work, including Tim McGraw, Engelbert Humperdinck, Mac Davis, Roger Miller, Dolly Parton, Conway Twitty, Glen Campbell, Eddie Rabbit, Dr. Hook and Julio Iglesias.
Wynn Varble started playing guitar as a teen, influenced by Merle Haggard, Hank Williams and Jimmy Rodgers. In the 1980s, he wrote with David Gibson.

Professor Teruo Higa
Professor Higa's Philosophy
Prof. Higa estimates that enough food production for 10 billion people is possible with the use of EM Technology™ on world-wide basis. Actually, there are numerous reported examples of abundant harvests and unprecedented multiple crops for a wide range of products with the use of EM Technology™.
He insisted from the start that even greening deserts was possible with the application of EM Technology™. His theory is now validated by successful cases of desert-greening in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
"The world is currently facing a time of great change and upheaval", says Prof. Higa. "I believe this condition has arisen mainly because of our present civilization becoming increasingly structured along the lines of competitive principles. An excessive reliance on competition certainly does not excite feelings of generosity and sharing."(Teruo Higa, 1996). One of the most fundamental beliefs in his philosophy is 'creating a society based on co-existence and co-prosperity'.
Prof. Higa insists that we change the present social structure based on a competitive principle to one based on co-existence and co-prosperity to solve the said problems. In order to do this, we must first solve the common problems faced by human beings - food, security, the environment, health care, and energy supply. He is hoping that EM Technology™ will be one of the most potent tools to respond to these problems.
Application of EM Technology™ in agriculture can protect the environmental and save energy because, unlike modern agriculture, it does not use excessive energy and chemicals, and does not pollute water. It can also produce safe and high-quality foods at low cost which will help improve our overall health. When used on livestock, it will suppress foul smells in livestock barns, improve the quality of meats and eggs, etc. Solving environmental pollution problems using EM Technology™ will also inhibit waste of resources. Some of the examples are waste water treatment via EM Technology™ and the creating of fertilizer by using EM Technology™ to treat raw kitchen garbage.
EM Technology™ is developing day by day and now used in various fields. Prof. Higa believes that EM Technology™ will help farm sustainably, protect environment and maintain people's health.

Professor Higa's Biography
Prof. Teruo Higa is a professor at Meio University and a professor emeritus at University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa. He is also the director at International EM Technology Center.
Prof. Higa was born in Okinawa, Japan in 1941 and was raised with 9 brothers and sisters. Since he was a child, he has been involved in farming and has loved growing things. He entered University of the Ryukyus to learn more about agriculture. Development of fruit cultivation appeared a promising to advance Okinawan agriculture. Therefore, following his graduation, he earned his doctorate in Horticulture at Kyusyu University Graduate School. He was researching mandarin oranges which, at the time, relied heavily on agricultural chemicals. At this time he was interested in microorganisms but advocated of the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides because with his farming experience, he knew that farming was very labor intensive, especially making good compost. While he was involved in growing oranges, he noticed a decline in his health and started to break out in rashes. These symptoms got progressively worse. After that, he made microorganisms the main focus of his research. However, in those days it was common to work with one type at a time and there were many different types of microorganisms to test. There were no results of any significance even after five years. Then, one day, a lucky accident occurred and he realized that the key was the combination. After many trials and errors, Prof. Higa discovered a perfect mix that promotes healthy plant growth and coined the name "EM™" for that group.
His development of EM Technology™ has brought him international recognition, and now he gives guidance and assistance in the application and research of EM Technology™ around the world. EM Technology™ developed by Prof. Higa, has spread in various fields such as governmental projects and the activities in private sectors, and it is disseminated in more than 130 countries.

Heading into the 2013-14 season, there are a ton of questions surrounding the Edmonton Oilers. Entering the fourth year of a prolonged rebuilding process, the Oilers will once again be in a tough position to compete for a playoff position in the newly realigned divisions.
Edmonton is running out of time in this rebuild and cannot afford to struggle as they have in the previous three seasons.
Dallas Eakins has seemed like a solid choice as head coach so far and the culture of the Oilers dressing room has apparently shifted, but preseason and the regular season are different stories.
Hopefully for fans of the Oilers this is the year that the club starts to deliver on all of the potential and start to bring respectability back to Oil Country.
Here is a complete preview of the 2013-14 Edmonton Oilers.

DES MOINES – In his years-long bid for the White House, there has been perhaps no more elusive prize for Mitt Romney than Iowa.
It was the state that propelled the former Massachusetts governor into national contention, handing him a decisive win in the 2007 Ames straw poll. But it has remained just out of his reach ever since, voting for dark horse former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee in the 2008 GOP caucuses and giving former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum a razor-thin victory over Romney four years later, in a race that was so tight that it went to a recount. Both candidates' victories were fueled by the state's evangelical population, a critical voting bloc in the first-in-the-nation caucuses.
On Sunday morning, the Republican presidential nominee returned to Des Moines in one last bid to capture the state and, if things go his way Tuesday night, the White House.
"Talk is cheap, but a record is real and it's earned with real effort," Romney told a boisterous crowd of 4,000 supporters at the Hy-Vee Hall downtown, reprising his stump-speech appeal for them to reach out to friends and neighbors who may still be undecided. "You can't measure change in speeches. You measure change in achievements."
There were encouraging signs for Romney ahead of his arrival in the state. Last week, the Des Moines Register, which backed then-Sen. Obama in 2008, endorsed Romney, arguing that voters should give him "a chance to correct the nation's fiscal course and to implode the partisan gridlock that has shackled Washington and the rest of America — with the understanding that he would face the same assessment in four years if he does not succeed."
The Romney campaign touted the endorsement on a large TV screen at Sunday morning's event, and as he took the stage, the candidate told the crowd that he wanted to give "a special shout-out to the Des Moines Register -- thanks for your endorsement."
But there were other signs that the battle for the Hawkeye State's six Electoral College votes remains an uphill one for Romney. The Des Moines Register's latest Iowa Poll, released Saturday night, showed Obama taking 47 percent to Romney's 42 percent. The survey had a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.
The newspaper on Sunday morning ran dueling op-eds from both campaigns – one by GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan on behalf of the Republican ticket, and another by former president Bill Clinton on behalf of the Obama campaign.
At Sunday's event, Romney was introduced by a number of speakers including Rep. Tom Latham (R-Iowa ), Republican congressional candidate John Archer (Iowa), Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R), who told the crowd that while "four years ago many Iowans took pride" in watching Obama's rise, the president has failed to live up to his promises.
Branstad told the audience to cheers that "if Obama wants to take credit for the economy, let him take credit for it in Illinois" and other blue states rather than states led by Republican governors such as himself.
"It's time for you to go back to Chicago!" he said of Obama.
Romney also was preceded at the event by the Oak Ridge Boys, who recently warmed up the crowd at a Romney-Ryan rally in the battleground of Ohio. As at that event, one of the members of the group took a shot at Obama by telling the crowd of how the group had been invited by Romney to sing "Amazing Grace" at the GOP convention, and "how cool it was to have a future president want to hear Amazing Grace."
Romney took the stage to big cheers and delivered nearly the same closing argument as he has on the road in recent days, reading from teleprompters.
"Two more days and we can get to work rebuilding our country, restoring our confidence and renewing our conviction. ... On Nov. 7, we'll get to work. We'll reach across the street to that neighbor with that other yard sign, and I'll reach across the aisle to people in the other party," Romney said to cheers.

PASCAGOULA -- Luis Williams felt no need to sugar-coat it.
When asked what went wrong in Pascagoula's 49-10 loss to Picayune on Oct. 4 and how it has nagged at the Panthers ever since, the senior cornerback explained it simply.
"Every day I go out on the practice field, I think about Picayune at least one or two times," Williams said. "We played a good game starting out, especially in the first quarter. We delivered the blow. But once they got up on us two touchdowns, that's when we gave up. I remember telling the guys on the sidelines, 'you can't drop your heads.' Because when you drop your heads, that's when they're going to run away from you."
Picayune has been running away from most everyone in the last season-and-a-half, with that victory at War Memorial six weeks ago one of 18 straight for the defending 5A state champions. Dodd Lee's Maroon Tide is averaging 383.5 rushing yards and 50.18 points per game.
The Panthers (9-2) get another shot at the Maroon Tide (11-0) at 7 p.m. Friday, in a second-round playoff game also at Pascagoula. The game is a double-rematch of sorts, not only of the regular-season game, but of a 20-14 Picayune victory in last year's second round.
Pascagoula faced a similar scenario a year ago, hosting Picayune in the playoffs after losing a blowout during the regular season. The Panthers nearly pulled off a stunning comeback last November after trailing 20-0 in the first half, but were stopped just short on fourth down near midfield in the final minute.
"We were so close last year," senior wide receiver Breland Hoye said. "It was a bad feeling and we remember it. We knew we would probably face these guys again and we've got to get nasty. We have to execute on offense, because you know they're going to get their points."
Both teams won in blowouts in the first round of the playoffs, Pascagoula hammering West Jones 38-6 and Picayune rumbling past Brookhaven 69-42. The Panthers trailed 6-3 at halftime, but scored four touchdowns in the third quarter to win going away.
Picayune's rally came a bit later, but was no less decisive. The Maroon Tide trailed 42-28 midway through the third quarter, before scoring 41 straight to close it out.
"Brookhaven made some big plays," Pascagoula coach Lewis Sims said. "They scored 42 points, and that's the most Picayune has given up this year. They were able to take advantage of the miscues and scored off turnovers. But it still wasn't enough. To beat Picayune, you have to possess the ball and keep their juggernaut of an offense off the field."
Both teams are quite a bit healthier than they were in October, with the Panthers having welcomed back offensive lineman Shaquille Riley and wide receiver Mathew Eaton in recent weeks. Panthers defensive end Caleb Caston and offensive lineman Carl Rainey also played hurt in the earlier meeting, but are at or near 100 percent for Friday.
Picayune's Preston Dedeaux sat out the first game against Pascagoula and two games after that with a shoulder injury, but has been running wild of late. The junior tailback totaled 367 yards and five touchdowns against Brookhaven, giving him 1,325 yards and 20 scores in just seven games this season.
Add Dedeaux to a backfield mix that also includes back-up tailback Doug Cross (949 yards, 12 TDs), fullback Desmond Taylor (851, 12) and wingback Daveon Greene (438, 9) and the Maroon Tide can be nearly impossible to stop. A punishing offensive line led by guards Joey Reynolds and Cooper Esslinger and center Jacob Feeley clears the way.
"They're just a good team," Pascagoula defensive end Deric Daughtry said. "Their offense is pretty simplified and they run a lot of the same plays all the time. But they know what they're doing and they execute it very well. It's hard to stop even when you know what's coming."
Picayune has won nine straight meetings with Pascagoula, with the Panthers' last victory over the Maroon Tide coming in 1997. Friday's winner advances to the South State finals against the winner of the other 5A second-round game, Pearl River Central (10-1) at Wayne County (10-2).
Unlike the regular-season game, which was broadcast live by Fox Sports South as part of the C-Spire Wireless "Bright Lights" series, the television cameras and giant video replay board will be absent on Friday night. Truth be told, many of the Panthers prefer it that way.
"It's just Pascagoula and Picayune -- all that other stuff doesn't matter," Williams said. "That's the way it should be."
The game can be heard live on WBUV-FM 104.9 or online at www.newsradio1049fm.com.

It's Friday, time to take a break from the seriously tragic to travel to the side of the seriously freaky. A transsexual in Tokyo, Japan reportedly auctioned of his post-op 'goodies' to the highest bidders for a chance to attend a bizarre dinner party.
According to the above video, artist Mao Sugiyama who was born male, froze his genitals after surgery to become a female, then took to Twitter in April to offer anyone interested an opportunity--for a prizy fee of $1000-- to taste his testicles and penis sautéed to perfection.
I told you it would get really weird. If you can repress the gagging factor to read further, go ahead, there is more.
Apparently he did not get the $1000 required but 5 brave diners with bizarre palettes paid $250 a piece to attend the public banquet. The genitals were allegedly garnished with Italian parsley and mushrooms.
Diners had to sign a waiver releasing Sugiyama of all liabilities--after all eating someone's sexual organs conjures a myriad of medical scenarios-apart from the serious gag factor of course. Oops, that could be interpreted several ways, I apologize but I think you know what I mean.
Sugiyma assured all who dined on his 'unique delicacy' not to worry for he was reportedly disease free.

The Lineman Chart
The offensive line is a position in the game of football that has no stats or glory but could possibly be one of the most important positions on the field. Let's take a look at the grade sheet for the NM State offensive line in week two of the season:
Guard Andy Cunningham led the Aggies with nine knockdowns against Texas. The O-Line did not allow a sack against Minnesota.
House, Green, Rogers, Bateman and Harris Playing in the NFL
The Aggies currently have five players in the NFL. Defensive back Davon House who was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, becoming the first Aggies to be drafted since 2003.

One race could provide some history while the other contains some mystery.
The history involves the defending champion, Christian Brothers Academy, which will take the line at tomorrow's 40th NJSIAA/Star-Ledger/M-F Athletic Meet of Champions at Holmdel Park as the top-ranked team in the country and a huge favorite to extend its state record to 17 titles
The boys race will begin at 11:45 a..m., which follows the girls race that will start at 11 a.m.
Follow all the boys action at the Meet of Champions with live updates at http://twitter.com/#!/lambo2126
With victory a virtual lock after Christian Brothers, ranked No. 1 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, beat Don Bosco Prep (No. 2 in the state and No. 22 nationally), 18-43, in the Non Public A meet last week, the only real drama in the team race is whether CBA can break the course record of 16:05.3, set at this meet last year.
Last week, CBA grabbed five of the top six spots and averaged a meet record 16:11.6 as its top four ran between 16:05 and 16:11. And that was with one of its top guys, Tim Gorman, finishing No. 7 for the team. Gorman, who was under the weather, ran 15:54 at the Shore Coaches meet last month at Holmdel when CBA averaged 16:08.4, No. 2 in course history.
With Gorman healthy, CBA, led by Non-Public A champion George Kelly, could shatter that course record average and break the meet record for the lowest point total, a feat that was also achieved by a CBA team, 31 by the 1999 squad.
The mystery comes in the individual race. And it centers around Mountain Lakes senior Stephen Lewandowski.
Lewandowski is the only undefeated runner in the race, but is considered an underdog because of the presence of Tim Ball of Piscataway and Blake Udland of Millburn.
Lewandowski, the Group 1 champion in 16:03, doesn't have the flashy times that Ball (15:38 to win Group 4) and Udland (15:48 to win Group 3) have, but Lewandowski hasn't been pushed this year, running simply to win his races.
This is the first time Ball, Udland and Lewandowski will race each other this season. In last year's M of C, Ball placed 17th in 16:03, while Lewandowski was next with a 16:04 and Udland finished 23rd in 16:12.
The 2010 champion was Jim Rosa of West Windsor-Plainsboro North, who ran a a 15:15. He is now at Stanford.
The top returning finisher is Connor Herr of Shawnee, who was 10th in 15:58. He placed third at Group 4 last Saturday in 16:04.
``I know that I will be running against faster guys, and I will have to run at a faster pace than I have been used to,'' said Lewandowski, who edged Ball for second place in the 1,600 at the M of C last spring. ``But I am just going to do my best and try to stick with those guys and see what happens. I know it'll be a real hard race. If I throw up, I'll just keep going, and that's probably going to happen. It's going to be a guts race, and I have to believe in myself.''
Despite being the fastest runner in the race at Holmdel this season (15:38 and 15:39), the Notre Dame-bound Ball is not overconfident.
``There are a lot of talented guys in this race and I know I will have to be on top of my game to win,'' said Ball. ``Winning this race has always been a dream of mine, so now it's time to go out and make it happen.''
The Duke-bound Udland is trying to join his brother, Tyler, as a M of C winner. Tyler won in 2008.
``I am feeling really good right now and I think I have a good chance,'' said the younger Udland. ``The 15:48 felt very comfortable, and I feel I can get into the low 15:30's. It should be a great race.'
When: Saturday at 11:45 a.m.
Where: Holmdel Park.
Parking: Free in Holmdel Park.
Course and meet record team average: 16:05.3 (Christian Brothers Academy 2010).
Individual course record: 14:53 (Edward Cheserek, St. Benedict's Prep, 2011).
Individual meet record: 14:56 (Joe Rosa, West Windsor-Plainsboro North, 2009).
Individual outlook: Seniors Tim Ball of Piscataway, Blake Udland of Millburn and Stephen Lewandowski of Mountain Lakes will clash for the first time this season. Ball, the Group 4 champion, is the fastest runner in the race at Holmdel (15:38). Lewandowski, the Group 1 winner, is the only undefeated runner in the race. Udland, who the Group 3 title in 15:48, is trying to join his brother (Tyler in 2008) as a champion.
Team outlook: The defending champion, Christian Brothers Academy, ranked No. 1 in the nation by The Harrier and No. 1 in the state Top 20, is an overwhelming favorite to extend its state record to 17 M of C titles, all under coach Tom Heath. Second-ranked Don Bosco Prep, ranked No. 22 in the nation, and No. 3 Westfield should engage in a good battle for second place.
Individual prediction: After Ball and Udland run together for two plus miles, Ball will start to get a little separation as they near the tennis courts and go on to win in around 15:28. Udland goes 15:35 for second and Lewandowski places third in 15:45. Seven runners will go sub 16.
Team prediction: Christian Brothers puts two runners under 16 and three more under 16:10, averages around 16:00, and scores less than 30 points to win big
Did you know: The Meet of Champions has had five different homes. It was at Ocean County Park in 1972, Bridgewater-Raritan West High in 1973, Buccleuch Park in New Brunswick in 1974, and Pennsauken High in 1975. It has remained at Holmdel since 1976.

Dr. Marsha Linehan and colleagues at the University of Washington. Since it's creation in the early 1990's, DBT has been shown to be effective for a broad range of issues from severe suicidal thoughts to problems in maintaining relationships. The standard DBT "program" consists, at minimum, of once weekly individual therapy and once weekly skills training, usually done in a group. DBT is provided by a team of therapists who meet weekly for consultation on how to improve their skills as therapists and to remain adherent to the treatment principles and protocols.
The overarching goal of DBT is to obtain "a life worth living" by providing skills managing emotions, tolerating distress and improving relationships. DBT has been shown to be effective in reducing suicidal behaviors, hospitalizations, and problems with anger, depression, and hopelessness. The key problem that DBT treats is emotion dysregulation, defined as a combination of extreme emotional vulnerability with difficulty in regulating emotions once they are aroused. DBT clients learn an array of skills to manage their emotions and the impulsive and almost automatic behaviors that often accompany strong emotions. In individual therapy each client works on a highly personalized plan to reduce the behaviors getting in the way of attaining their goals and to increase their use of skillful behaviors. Most clients who enter DBT are asked to make a year commitment to attend both individual therapy and skills training. In one year of treatment and with hard work from both the client and the therapist, most clients can see significant improvement in their lives.
What to expect...DBT is a therapy which requires a serious commitment from both the client and the therapist. Your therapist will help you clarify your goals and will ask for specific commitments from you, which will help you reach your goals. You and your therapist will develop a collaborative relationship which will seek to reduce any problems that get in the way of your therapy and will also identify behaviors that you most need to change in order to achieve your goals. Individual therapy and skills training will be weekly, and you will have homework for each. You will also have access to between- session coaching contact. DBT is a very active and directed process, where you and your therapist delineate a clear path toward your goals and focus on the steps needed to reach them. Your effort will be a huge factor in your progress.
The first four sessions of DBT will focus on orientation, assessment and commitment. There are formal and informal assessment procedures. During the early sessions you and your therapist will establish your relationship and treatment plan, including making a diary card. Attendance at group usually begins within four to six weeks after entering therapy. The minimum commitment is usually a year and many people stay in DBT for longer than one year.

FORT MORGAN, Alabama -- A good knife and a sharp edge are two things that Jerry Helm finds irresistible, and he's been experimenting with the skill of sharpening since he was a young man.
Six months ago, he turned his hobby of sharpening knives into a successful part-time business serving the needs of hairstylists and other professionals who rely on a good blade to earn their living.
"I learned how to sharpen knives from my father, and I can sharpen saws and chainsaws," he said. "I also liked knives, and I've collected them."
After graduating from Seagoville High School in Kaufmann County, Texas, Helm enrolled at Texas A&M University, where he put his special skills to work.
"When I was in college, I cleaned and sharpened medical tools at the (veterinary) school," he said. "There is definitely a technique to it. It's specialized equipment."
But after earning his degree in marketing, he went in the Army from 1970 to 1972 and was sent overseas to Vietnam.
"I was in the Vietnam War on the Cambodian border," he said. "I served one tour of duty, so I was there 13 months. And I was blessed to make it out."
Then he returned to work in pharmaceutical sales with Sandoz.
"I worked in sales six years and then I went into the housing business," he said. "I ran a fiberglass manufacturing business and we built fiberglass showers and tubs."

Activities: Sharpening knives, fishing, hunting
For seven years, he was in charge of that company and found it to be interesting work, he said.
"You start with a mold, then you spray the resins. Fiberglass comes in strands, and it's sprayed on there using an air process," he said. "But with the first oil crisis in the late (1970s), that business went kaput."
Helm moved back into housing and stayed with that business until he retired six months ago. And all the while he kept up with his hobby of knives and sharpening.
"I had friends in the hairstyling business, and they always knew if they needed a sharp knife, go to Jerry," he said. "They asked if I could sharpen their shears."
So he did some research on the technique and then researched the market, he said.
"I told my wife I was going to talk to a dozen hair salons and determine if there was a market for this and then make a decision," he said. "All the stylist shops said there's a huge need in this area, so I ordered the equipment and went and trained at a manufacturing facility."
And now he runs Sharpest Edge Sharpening Service and travels to Baldwin County salons, refurbishing shears for stylists.
"I completely disassemble the shear, I clean it and sharpen the blades," he said. "I use a real fine stone called a hone to put the outside edge on, then I oil and polish it up. When I'm done it's as close to new as you can possibly get."
He provides the service at a fraction of what a new pair of shears would cost, he said, and also works with area seamstresses.
When not restoring blades, Helm enjoys fishing and hunting and spending time with his family.
