Ok Derek its your fault, you and your mayor get the fuck out!ReplyCancel
@LooseSeal Wanton is passive-aggressively mocking TTM. Apparently he/she doesn't have the courage to come outright and say something.
Wanton is a "commenter" who pops up occasionally to deride regulars here. Frankly, I suspect that he/she is also regular that uses Wanton as a secondary account. He/she doesn't want to get tagged as a dick or a bitch, so they use this disposable account to safely be a tool. Which in turn means that they are a gutless wuss and bully. Easy to mock people when hiding behind anonymity. If you try to check out his/her stats, you will see that the profile is blocked. One can't even tell how long the disposable account has existed.
Now you know.ReplyCancel
Or what Charlie said 😉
I was trying to find a way of explaining "trolling hose beast," but you're much better at this, Charlie.ReplyCancel
FTR, I'm not mocking TTM! I was just playing with Wanton. I simply can't help myself and must play with trolls.
Let the record show Sugar publically asserting her love for our Canadian Ginger Goddess!

I'm not defending Gabby. Siovaujn, or however you spell it, has issues. she was out sitting on the sidewalk holding a sign saying that D. Wade left her homeless, when that was quite far from the case. I think she carefully crafts these scenes for the publicity. there's a lot going on with that lady. if she is mentally ill, I feel for her. I don't think she really is.ReplyCancel
Nothing crazier than a woman who has been cheated on and publicly dumped, either you let it go or it will end up ruining you and your children.
Probably GU DW. This is just turning into the black version of Brandy/LeAnn/Eddie. No one wins in this situation, and the kids really get hurt beyond repair.
I used to work for the NBA and she was a participant in the celebrity game (a late addition) around the time of Bring it on. I'm guessing it was right before the release and she was doing promo. No one knew who the heck she was although the media and players kept asking about her. We kept having to look at our roster cheat sheets and when we said her name, everyone shrugged and said they never heard of her. She was quite actively chasing the players around back then. I can't remember what year it was but I'm guessing it was 2000-2003 and most likely the DC All-Star weekend.
That was my first Allstar weekend and it made quite an impression on me with the "celebrity" and groupie scene. Some of the other celebs (and I use that term loosely) were the guys from Roswell, Ashton and Wilmer, Matthew Lillard, pdiddy and oTown, LL Cool J, etc. I think Nick Cannon first came a year later. Oh the memories! I never miss that job except for those nonstop work and party weekends.ReplyCancel

General Discussion
Pineal cysts are benign (non-cancerous) fluid-filled sacs located in the region of the brain that contains the pineal gland. Small pineal cysts (.5 cm or smaller) are common occurrences, often found incidentally on routine neurological exams. Small pineal cysts rarely cause symptoms (asymptomatic). Larger pineal cysts are rare findings that may cause a variety of symptoms (symptomatic). Symptoms may include headaches, increased pressure on the brain because of accumulation of excessive cerebrospinal fluid (hydrocephalus), and vision abnormalities. Large symptomatic pineal cysts may potentially cause serious conditions such as seizures and loss of consciousness. The exact cause of symptomatic pineal cysts is unknown.

I only have 4 and two of em are retired. Ewing & Starks are both on the shelf.
Have two authentic jerseys. Sprewell in blue & Toney Douglas in white. I'm a big time FSU fan & seen Douglas develope over night. Couldn't pass up his jersey. When we're in blue I'm sporting the Spree jersey. When we're in white? I'm rocking TD23.
Thinking about getting a custom jersey made. I know of a spot in the mall that can stitch the numbers & letters on to perfection. Pretty sure I could find an authentic jersey on ebay, for a good price, without both the numbers & letters.
The Jersey number will read as 007. On some James Bond type ****.
The jersey name will read as "STAT n MELO".
Should the jersey # be 007 or 17?

I cannot stand people going on and on about how they know the REAL TRUE reasons for why we're interested in striking Syria; that because they read some shit on the internet (and geech, naturalnews.com is a notoriously error-ridden, fear-mongering institution, just by way of example) they are somehow privy to the secrets of an international conspiracy in which the US seeks to establish a one-world-government and blah blah blah. Believe it or not, the government is acutely aware of the fact that the Syrian rebels are a fucked up bunch and that there are plenty of Al Qaeda among their ranks. Do you really think that these people are not aware of this? Of course they are. This is one of the reasons why we wouldn't topple Assad's regime, only use a limited strike on certain facilities, because it would otherwise create a power-vacuum to be filled by people we don't like either.
And don't even get me started on Russia... I mean, no offense to any Russians here but that country is sliding further and further into the dark side thanks to Putin. Russia can't really be trusted to be objective in a situation like this, they're part of a string of allies (Iran, China, Syria, etc.) that have serious and disturbing issues with the Western powers. They're the real reason why we'd never get a resolution from the UN on this matter, because they have veto power on this and will exercise it infinitely when it comes to Syria. Yeah, we're facing pressure from Israel thanks to Iran, but not in the same way.
There are real problems in Syria. They aren't made up. Have we been looking to provoke a conflict with Syria/Iran for some time and are taking this as an opportunity to do so? I don't think so personally, but maybe. The real point of this whole thing is that over a thousand people (civilians) died from a chemical weapons attack. We don't know who was responsible. Could the rebels have obtained the weapons necessary for this? It's possible. But in terms of Occam's Razor, we're weighing the disorganized rebels who are known to have no chemical weapons nor any means of delivering them, against a volatile regime with a psycho in power who has many facilities that manufacture chemical weapons such as these and has the capability of delivering them. And we're supposed to take Assad, Russia and Iran's word that the Syrian government wasn't responsible. We've just got to wait on the UN report on the matter (which, as of now, is tentatively pointing to the government, based on the rebels apparent inability to manufacture and deploy these weapons).
You guys are over-complicating things.
lmao fuck mccain though, fuck that guy.
Posted 07 September 2013 - 04:43 PM
Syria has been causing no trouble in the region. The issue with Syria is that they are allies of Iran.
That's the trouble I meant. Like I said, it's all political. And of course Demascus looks great. The Syrian regime will spare no expense on themselves.
Posted 07 September 2013 - 04:51 PM
Syria is a country that has a respectable standard of life. I don't get this whole Assad is a tyrant, a basterd type shit. Where did it come from?
This picture was taken at Buckingam Palace in 2002. What is so different from him now and ten years ago?
Posted 07 September 2013 - 06:10 PM
If by "respectable standard of life" you mean literally living in a State of Emergency (military police state) since 1963...
This whole thing (the Syrian Civil War) came about 2 years ago in conjunction with what is known as the Arab Spring, where, buoyed by one another's protests, the populations of many countries in the Middle East who had been long suffering under their oppressive governments rose up and marched, protested for their rights and liberties. You probably remember that from 2011. Well Assad didn't change for shit, and thus the Syrian Civil War begins. When all this happened, a LOT of good, decent people who wanted nothing to do with war and violence fled out of the country and a lot of people who wanted everything to do with war and violence and the potentially empty seat of power flocked INTO the country (Al Qaeda/Al-Nusra, etc.). Since the war began, Assad has been predictably killing thousands of not only rebels but innocent civilians, non-violent protestors, etc. He's not a great guy. Unfortunately, the dominant forces who would rise up in the event of his downfall are also not very great guys.

Ok, I am no expert on the conditions of life with in Syria over the past 20 years, however, I have today looked up travel videos of Syria, like my last post, on page 1, and life there seems ok. I don't know where you get this living in a state of emergency shit.
And yes, I know that he chose to use his army to squash the protests. However, my argument is, that why should any other country supply the rebels with weapons to prolong the war? And lets say the rebels topple him tomorrow? What do you think life will be like then? Any better or worse than it was before the war began? My guess is worse.
I recently saw a documentary on the people of Baghdad, how they live today. A group of young men who appeared very westernized. They were all dapped out in leather riding motorbikes doing tricks, like the Ruff Ryder's. They were asked which they preferred, life with or post Saddam. Each said with Saddam.
My point is, life might not be great in these countries, not to mention a major reason may be sanctions against them, but life is ok. The streets are safe, crime is low, people are fed, people receive educations. They live generally happy and productive lives. Now, in Iraq and Syria, that is a rarity.

Yeah, I definitely prefaced my original rant by saying I don't support our intervening in Syria at this juncture. But we didn't start the Syrian Civil War, unless you want to go on speculation-based theories. France is an even bigger proponent for the downfall of Assad. MY point is, the people were not actually happy with their current situation, hence the enormous protests that took place. I mean, Iraq we definitely fucked up, or at least didn't realize it was inevitably going to be fucked up. I don't know who the guys they spoke to in that documentary were, their story, and all of that, and it's sort of unfair to compare the two, but I guess the question that you're wrestling with is "Is it better to live under an oppressive regime, where we have stability and potable drinking water, but may have our rights suspended or even get murdered by the secret police, or is it better to plunge into utter chaos and just see what happens?" It's a tough question. I'm not surprised some Iraqis feel we went the wrong route though.

Actually, there is an interview with Cheney stating why America did not topple Saddam after Desert Storm. The reason? The complicated ground situation. They knew the Shia, Sunni situation was a very sensitive one that would be a very messy situation if the goverment was removed. Why they did not consider this for the second time round? Not entirely sure. My guess is the philosophies of the New American Centrury Project. One where Donal Rumsfeld was an architect.
And I am sure there is a portion of the population not happy with Assad, there is probably an equal that is ok with him. Point is, America (and really I mean a few American men in high places), as part of the Project for a New American Centruy, feel that removing nations with oil, whose governments are generally opposed to thier interests (read corporate interests) should be removed.
Saddam, Assad, and Kadaffi were all communist, socialist, nationalist in there political philosophies. This is diametrically opposed to the corporate capitalist position. There is a great book called "Confessions of An Economic Hitman" that you should read if you have not. It gives a detailed account of the practices of the American government in aiding and abetting corporations to basically rape the lands of other nations. Support dictators who play by their rules, destroy those who don't.
The overall belief of this philosophy we are seeing with the Western approach to Iraq, Syria and Libya, is that these idiots feel that they will be better off if, they have control over these oil rich places. They feel they must act now, before another super power emerges that can challenge them. They are not considering the human cost, nor karma.

Oh sweet.

It was also re-versioned for Frontline PBS as "Syria: Behind the Lines"

I just watched half of the Al Bara Bombing segment. Once the reporter decided to go into the carnage, after the bomb was dropped was a little too much for my Sunday morning. Amazing tho. What balls to even consider entering such an area.
War. What is it good for?
Posted 08 September 2013 - 09:04 AM
Main points I picked up...
A. Historical secretarial division.
B. Assad' s people ( alawite ) were out cast in the 14th century by a Sunni cleric.
C. French Empire, basically paved the way to reinstate the Alawites over the ruling Sunni's.
D. Assad's father a, socialist, nationalist, secularist, ruled quite harshly but created a stable country, something that did not exist for sometime. He was, because of this stabily, extremely popular.
E. Assad, a Dr., trained in London, who married a Sunni, have hopes of reform, towards democracy, etc instead, fell back on strong arm tactics and use of force. Seems he was/is not much of a revolutionary leader.
F. High unemployment, lack of modernization, the rise of the mafia, and isolation of the poor created a tinder box.
G. The Arab Spring was a spark that set off the current revolution and war.
Saudi Arabia, a Sunni nation wants Assad out. He is a communist relic, secularist. Opposed to doing business with the west on thier terms, and not setting up a country run by Sharia law. America wants him out because he won't do business their way. Assad himself did not reform the country in a way that was positive to his people. A trifecta of stupidness.

Just do some research man, it's all over the internet, just type in Syria and "state of emergency" into google and you'll be able to put the pieces together. This is an article mentioning the temporary/permanent state of emergency), and the demand for its repeal, I'm sure there are plenty of better ones too.
This is sort of what I was trying to complain about in my original rant. You're not alone in knowing FAR more about the "New American Century Project" conspiracy theories than about the actual, real situation in Syria. it was a think tank not a legislating body, it was disbanded in 2006. Sure, it had influence in the Bush administration because he was an idiot who relied almost exclusively on his advisors for decision-making, but it doesn't exist anymore and Obama certainly wouldn't be following their doctrine. Unless maybe he's a lizard person. even if you believe they engineered 9/11...their supposed plan didn't work. It didn't work then and certainly wouldn't be attempted now, because the failure in Iraq hangs heavy over all of America's head and probably Obama's too. I know that the idea of a group of evil old white guys getting together to plot the secret takeover of the world is a very interesting idea, but focussing on that during this crisis is like reading a stephen king novel when you should be doing your algebra.
Syria ain't Iraq. We haven't imported any oil from Syria since 2011, and even then it was only 0.19% of the total national oil import, Syria isn't a major factor for us with oil like Iraq was. You can look all this info up. There's a pipeline situation potentially involved, but it doesn't directly affect us, it'd be bringing oil from Iran through Syria to potential buyers. And UNLIKE in Iraq, where the US went forward to protect its interests despite international opinion and based on bullshit smoke and mirrors, even the EU acknowledges that a war crime has been committed here.
Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney were very real, very disturbing boogeymen that we had to live with for far too long, and I hope you had all these facts about them back in 2004. But they're gone, they didn't establish a secret government that's gonna reinstate Hitler's brain as president-in-chief in 2016, and their war-mongering policies have been deemed unacceptable by the public. Why do you think the polls are so far in favor of non-intervention? We all remember what happened. Why does it have to be any more complicated than it already is? Nobody wants to get entangled in another Middle Eastern war, war crimes or no war crimes. We're so scarred by Iraq as a public that we won't even sanction a limited aerial strike at this point.

Obama's concerned (also not entirely unjustly) that the UN weapons inspectors were not given timely or appropriate access to the site, and that the government (who was preventing their access initially) could have tainted the evidence present at the site, to wipe their own involvement or to indicate the rebels somehow were responsible in a weird false-flag op aimed at sullying international opinion of the regime. Russia and China already vetoed a resolution in the UN Security Council about a week ago, supposedly literally without even reading it. And believe it or not, pretty much everybody else in the UN agrees that a "red line" was crossed.
Personally, I think we inevitably WILL be waiting for the UN report, your questions are a moot point. You're forgetting that even though he's itching to strike them, and he technically (in terms of US law anyway) didn't have to wait for anyone's approval at all, Obama's taking this to congress in light of the enormous public outcry against an attack. These are not the actions of a Bush-like autocrat. He's not going on about 10 thousand pounds of mustard gas and WoMD trying to scare us into a full-out war. and I honestly don't think congress will let him go ahead with it without first seeing the report. They know their constituents would not approve. The report will probably be made available roughly around the same time that congress will vote (next week), so we'll just have to see what happens there.
But if the UN report indicates that Assad is responsible for the attacks, will your opinions about the matter change at all? without the option of a UN resolution thanks to R+C, basically the only options on the table will be for the US, France, and Britain to either do nothing or to strike. I say we wait it out, but I certainly won't say that the people of Syria should be pleased about having Assad in power, particularly if he's spritzing them with sarin gas.

I liken American geopolitics to the biggest, baddest, healthiest kid in the class, being a real jerk. How do you expect the rest of the kids to react when their class room is dominated by an unjust bully?
Posted 08 September 2013 - 12:13 PM
You seem to have a lot of sympathy for poor Assad, or your disdain for American geopolitics is perhaps clouding your vision of him. We wouldn't even be going in there in some half-assed Iraq-esque attempt at regime change, we'd be bombing select chemical-weapons manufacturing facilities as a punitive measure for the murder of innocent civilians. If there was any evidence other than Syria and Russia's word to support the idea that any of the various bands of rebels had the capabilities to manufacture or more importantly deploy these weapons, I'd be skeptical right along side you. But the government has killed about 5x the amount of people that the rebels have killed during the civil war. Rebels killing thousands of civilians and then expertly framing the government would be a bit of a shock to me. We'll obviously have to wait for the report, but as of right now the consensus seems to be that most signs are pointing towards Assad.
I think a lot of people who started paying attention to politics during the Bush administration fail to recognize context. This is really more of a WWI-WWII era dilemma we're facing, except with crazy modern technology at our fingertips. It's not as if the US is alone on this one like Iraq, the whole world is talking about this attack. Pretty much nobody except Russia is arguing that NOTHING at all should be done about this. But I don't really think Assad poses any real threat to us as a country, and his cronies in Iran and Russia will only make shit unbearable for us if we strike, going against Israel and blah blah blah, thus I am against it. And if the majority of citizens in the US, France, and Britain alone do not want the strike, then it probably shouldn't happen.
Posted 08 September 2013 - 01:05 PM
As far as Assad goes, and your claims of my sympathy for him, if you had read my post, you will have seen that I said this about him.. " Assad, a Dr., trained in London, who married a Sunni, his people had hopes of reform, towards democracy, etc instead, he fell back on strong arm tactics and use of force. Seems he was/is not much of a revolutionary leader. " I continue... "Assad himself did not reform the country in a way that was positive to his people."
As far as your claim of "no one except Russia" is against strikes. I think you should google "Syria World opinion". Read these headlines. And you will see your opinion is incorrect.
There are protests around the world, the majority of Americans do not want to see a strike. You never answered my question as to why America can't wait for an official report on who is responsible for the act. And made no recognition of my point that the rebels have much more to gain and do have the ability to carry out such an attack.
I have seen proof in the chemical agents used and mortar delivery system used to deploy them. The western governments have simply said Assad did it. They have not provided any proof. Here are just a handful of articles stating the rebels have the capability and means to carry out such an attack and in fact did. (article1, article2, article3, article4, article5)
Radio, suckas never play me. (Point being, truth is squashed by the powerful if it is threat to them_ So Dont Believe The Hype Swamp Thing.

When I said "no one but russia" I did not mean to say that no one but the people of russia favor not striking Syria. I meant that pretty much none of the governments involved in the United Nations other than Russia and China favor completely ignoring this situation (aka doing NOTHING, including non-violent sanctions). Hence my "red line" comment. Many governments are seeking a diplomatic solution, which would clearly be the best route in my opinion (even though in reality probably very unlikely to accomplish much). Opposition is quite strong world-wide for an air-strike-based response, particularly from the citizens of these countries (as opposed to the government of Britain for example). But I was talking about the leaders/governments of countries there anyway.
I did read that you finally watched a documentary on Assad and learned about how he's not the greatest. I was probably just responding to the whole poor-little-kid metaphor and the general ambivalence you seemed to show in all your other posts, like how he's just keeping his people fed and the quality of life etc., and your eagerness to believe the rebels are the ones at fault here.
Look I'm not gonna get into a debate about the media here, because that always ends up with "you're stupid for believing the new york times, I'll take naturalnews.com because it makes me feel like I REALLY know what's going on", or other accusations of believing the hype... but I would ask for the proof you claim to have actually SEEN, because those articles definitely don't do it for me. I could easily google "syrian rebels used sarin" and link a million websites of varying degrees of repute. I suggest you utilize a website like RationalWiki to give yourself a more objective view of the websites you get your info from, which have their own agendas that they are pushing as you claim the rest of the media does. And maybe, just maybe, your own predispositions towards government-mistrust are coloring what info you accept and reject.
As far as I can see, Mrs. DelPonte's statements are the only semi-reliable thing to indicate that the rebels did use the gas, and that information is several months old, certainly not based on the report, and referring to another incident which predates the sarin attack of August 21st. Her statements are based solely on testimony and even she admits that there is no concrete proof, only strong suspicions. Again, I'm happy to wait for the official UN report before definitively making up my mind about it, I'm an extremely skeptical guy. But until then and even afterwards my opinion is admittedly just that. Skepticism doesn't just mean believing every anti-government, anti-western statement you see, it means questioning everything including those statements.

I have a two pronged question for you. What do you think funding the rebels will result in? What is the ideal outcome? And if it is the fall of Assad, what do you think the realistic outcome will be? What will replace him? Again, Assad's father very much ran a police state, like Saddam. Not because it was "cool" but because he had to to unsure stability. As a result most people loved him. He brought peace and stability to a land that had up other wise been very unstable for a long time.
So my point is, why disable a land which is of no significance to you? They are no threat to America. They are a minor threat to Isreal. In the end, and why it enrages me is that it is only the people who will suffer and again, all the big oil and army supplies companies will profit. War is big business.
Posted 08 September 2013 - 02:14 PM
Russia's opinion, like your own, is that the Syrian rebels are responsible, not the Syrian government, and are thus not looking to punish or even condemn Assad, and won't be a part of any resolution that names the regime as the aggressors here. And pardon me for taking anything Russia says with a grain of salt, when Putin has turned the country into a police state of his own.
Can dictatorial regimes stabilize countries in turmoil? Absolutely. Assad's father was part of a military coup that ousted the civilian factions of the ba'ath party in favor of the military wing, and with an iron fist got everything under control. It worked for Hitler too; in the wake of WWI the nazi party was democratically elected into power and people loved them. Loved those mother fuckers! Do I think we should be forcing change in the middle east? No, I didn't think that in the early 2000's and the Iraq shitstorm certainly didn't change my mind. But when the people of a country rise up in record numbers to protest their dictatorial regime and then are murdered by the thousands, you can't tell me that's a good situation over there, regardless if there are some people who still are happy living in a dictatorship. It's both our job (as one of the strongest countries in the UN) and not our job (as an independent country with plenty of domestic problems and facing no threat) to reprimand potential mass-murder by chemical weapons, and that's the dilemma we're facing. We don't want their oil, we're not looking to drone-strike Assad and replace him with Al-Nusra, we're not trying disable the land, we're discussing the possibility of a limited aerial strike of military chemical weapons installations. I'm assuming you think this would leave Assad vulnerable to a rebel victory, but I don't really believe it would.
War is fucking bad. only dead victims and live victims are left in the end. Would corporations profit from war? absolutely, they always have. But until I find the Haliburton connection high up in this administration that is clearly manipulating events to their benefit, I won't be busting out that old familiar chestnut. Admittedly, war's a lot different now, but there was such a thing as justified conflicts once upon a time, and it's not impossible that there might be another. Syria wouldn't be it, at least not right now.
Obama's admittedly being pretty aggressive about it, but I think we can all be thankful that he's not going to do anything without congress's approval, and that at this point in history it would be a monumentally bad decision for congress to go against the strong will of the people.
Posted 08 September 2013 - 02:25 PM
Not to mention, the rebellion would not have half the strength it does if America had never entered Iraq. Many of the rebels have spilled over from a job well done there. How does America justify fighting them in Iraq and funding them next door?
Now, apparently a chemical gas attack occurred and a lot of rhetoric has come out of it. America is talking like it is a sure thing that Asaad did this and he must be punished or it sets a bad example. However they have not provided a shred of evidence tho claiming they have enough to break international law and launch missiles into a sovereign nation certainly killing at minimum hundreds more.
Posted 08 September 2013 - 03:01 PM
We need to see evidence, bottom line. We can both definitely agree on that. Before anything happens. and let's hope it's nothing. I hope the UN report is conclusive, and that people are thus able and willing to accept it even if it goes against their pre-conceived notions. I know I will do my best.

Having read so many things on this board about the advantages for both baby and mother of feeding on demand, I'm a big beleiver in it.
But I'm beginning to wonder if I get my LO's signals wrong.
Yesterday afternoon, I fed him as usual, he asked for it hourly sometimes less, and I was thinking it was a growth spurt since he is in his 7th week.
So I offered the breast freely and he nursed frantically but seemed agitated.
I burped him often of course, guessing it was gas and then he started spitting up a lot.
It became a circle of burping, walking around, spitting up all over him and me, then crying pityfully asking for more milk.
He seemed miserable....I was under the impression that he didn't know when to stop and was overfull but still asked for more!
How does that work with feeding on demand?

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.
Walgreens is offering a special discount on annual membership for its Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. What does this mean? It means for folks who have high copays or maybe don't have prescription coverage, they can receive discount pricing on their prescriptions. The prescription savings club offers other benefits to members, above and beyond prescription medication. I like that Walgreens has created a program that includes more than "just" medication needs. I think the price point is fairly affordable at $35 a year for a family and $20 for an individual, especially since that rate includes pets!
For $35 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including a spouse, dependents 22 and younger and pets. Join and receive discount prices on your prescriptions. $20 for individuals.
Other benefits include:
-Savings on more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medications
-Discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies
-Bonuses when you purchase Walgreens brand products and photofinishing services
Keep up to date by liking Walgreens on Facebook and following Walgreens on Twitter. I love to follow and like brands and stores because it keeps me up to date with what they are offering and you never know when they will offer fan-only discounts, coupons or surprises/freebies!

Lazy, Selfish, Worse than Ever? Scholar discusses youth generation for Hunsberger lecture
Jan 14/13| For Immediate Release
Michael W. Pratt, Professor
Kevin Crowley, Director
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University will welcome developmental psychologist Jeffrey Jensen Arnett as this years Hunsberger Memorial Lecturer. Arnett will deliver his lecture, titled Lazy, Selfish, Worse than Ever?: Truth vs. Lies About Young North Americans, on Friday, Jan. 25, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Science Building, room N1001 at Lauriers Waterloo campus. A reception will follow in room N2005.
Many researchers and journalists have focused on the supposedly deplorable state of the rising generation of young people, who are lazy, selfish and worse than ever. Furthermore, it is often said that todays youth wish to avoid adulthood at all costs and remain perpetual adolescents. Are these negative stereotypes actually true? Arnett presents a critical analysis of these claims, drawing from a wide body of research, including his own. According to Arnett, these negative stereotypes are not only false, but also the complete opposite of what the research evidence shows. In truth, todays emerging adults are remarkably hardworking and generous, and their behavior is better in multiple ways than their counterparts behavior decades ago.
Arnett is a research professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University in Massachusetts, and is author of several widely used textbooks in adolescent psychology. He is the author of Emerging Adulthood and co-author of When Will My Grown-Up Kid Grow Up?
Lauriers annual Hunsberger Memorial Lecture was created in honour of Bruce Hunsberger, a Laurier professor of psychology from 1974 to 2003. Hunsberger served as the chair of the department for many years and was an influential scholar in the psychology of religion, prejudice and applied social psychology. He was also a recipient of the William James Award from the American Psychological Association.

By Eric Butler: PNT Correspondent
The New Mexico Activities Association is moving pretty fast these days. So fast, in fact, that local basketball coaches were still fuzzy on the details even after the prep athletic governing body decided to seed the eight teams in the state tournaments for Class 3A through 5A.
Slowly but surely, however, the picture of the seeding process is becoming clearer and clearer.
The day after the district basketball tournaments wrap up district chairs will meet with NMAA associate director Sally Marquez to determine the seeds.
In years past, district champions would face runner-up teams from other districts in the first round of the state tournament. But the decision to seed the teams, according to Marquez, stems in part from the NMAA's intent to expand the state tournaments next year to 16 schools for each class.
"It is an intermediary step," Marquez said. "And some of the criteria we're using are what we're thinking about using for the 16-team tournament. This is kind of preparing everybody and seeing how this works."
When the five-member committees meet March 6, the criteria to determine who will be seeded where will include the overall record, the regular-season district standings, performance against district champions in the same class, head-to-head competition and the Albuquerque Journal coaches poll.
One beneficiary might be fans looking for the marquee matchup in the championship game.
In girls Class 5A, for instance, Clovis and Mayfield — if seeded one and two — would be on the opposite sides of the tournament bracket and could only meet in the state championship game — instead of possibly squaring off in a semifinal. Both teams are undefeated and met last year for the 5A title.
"I think they probably should have had it set before the season started," Clovis girls coach Miles Watters said. "I've got mixed feelings on it right now. I've seen some things, but I don't know how they're going to weight each of the criteria — so I'm a little skeptical."
One concern Watters and other 5A girls coaches had was whether an inferior district champion might make it in as one of the top four seeds when it arguably should be lower.
La Cueva, for instance, leads the early District 2-5A race although it lost to Clovis by 38 points.
But Marquez said that district champions can be seeded lower than fourth and that the two district representatives can, in fact, play each other in the first round of the state tournament — if seeded that way.
"If I had my druthers, I'd have them just go with the pairings they've done before," Clovis boys coach J.D. Isler said. "My major concern is that we've got strong representation for our district at those meetings."
If there's concern in Clovis, there's even more in Portales — especially as to how much weight the coaches poll will carry in the seeding process.
In the most recent Class 3A boys poll, six teams received one first-place vote and none got more than that.
Even Bernalillo, who has twice lost to Portales by double-figure margins, got a first-place vote.
"I'm from northern New Mexico, I'm from Santa Rosa," Portales boys coach Mark Gallegos said. "When it comes to basketball, the north — I don't know why — they just pull a little more weight than we do. It makes some of us down here a little bit nervous."
Portales girls coach Brenda Gomez, who has led her team to consecutive 3A state titles, brings up another point.
In the past, district regular-season champs — already assured of a state berth — could afford to look ahead to the district they would match up in the quarterfinals. But with the seeding committee meetings taking place after the last district tournament games, those days of scouting your first-round opponent are effectively over.
"It takes a little bit of the coaching out of it; you don't get to prepare near as well," said Gomez, who is also concerned about "politics" entering the seeding process. "You find out Sunday night and then you play them on Wednesday, in our case.
"I don't think there's any good in any of it, honestly."

On Monday, in the biting afternoon cold at Wright-Tree Stadium, the Wasps returned to the practice field after a much-needed four day break.
"They better be ready to get back," joked head coach, Steve Coburn. "They haven't had to listen to me for four days, so that out to help them."
Coburn was referring to the opportunity to rest his warriors after a mid-week game last week at Spanish Fork. The game was a tiring, emotional defeat and set the stage for the short rest period.
With Timpview High, the leading team in Region 8, coming to Heber with its highly touted superstars, Coburn stressed the belief he has in his guys.
"Everyone will tell you that you don't have a chance," Coburn pronounced sternly to his team after practice. "But I don't believe that, and neither do you. I don't care who they have and where he's going to play college. They've got to come here and play us first. Today was a good practice. But tomorrow has to be better."
The game against the Thunderbirds is the final region contest for Wasatch this fall and the last game at home. A week from Friday, the Wasps travel to American Fork where they will face the 5A Cavemen to finish out the season.

Miller, NYIT Trip Up Seton Hill
from press release
OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. - With 1:35 remaining in the third period, sophomore Luke Miller (Mastic, N.Y.) netted his fourth goal of the game and the eventual game-winner to lead No. 8 NYIT men's lacrosse to a 12-11 victory over No. 6 Seton Hill Saturday afternoon at President's Stadium. With the win, the Bears open the season 1-0 and the Griffins even to 1-1 overall.
Miller led all players with four goals. He also dished out two assists. Sophomore Ryan Brunet (Sound Beach, N.Y.) notched his first hat trick of the season with three goals, while A.P. Nist (Parkland, Pa.), Eric Talbot (Lake Grove, N.Y.) and Cory Triola (Levittown, N.Y.) also scored a goal a piece. Senior Mike Ross (Adams, N.Y.) netted his first goal of the season and dished out a game-high three assists in the outing. Murphy also had two assists.
In the cage, senior Joe Fallon (Kings Park, N.Y.) earned his first collegiate win. He is 1-0 on the season and made a career-high 11 saves. The loss was dealt to Chris Ilse (1-1). He made 13 saves.
The entire game was closely played with both the first half ending in a 6-6-stalemate. Out of the break, NYIT struck first with Miller's hat trick goal off an assist from Murphy. Yet, Seton Hill retied the game, 7-7. The Bears then claimed a two-goal advantage from Brunet and Talbot. NYIT led 9-7 with 9"04 remaining in the third period. Again, the Griffins retaliated to knot the game 9-9 before Miller netted the game-winner. The fourth period saw two goals for each team.
Overall, NYIT out-shot Seton Hill 47-30, yet the Griffins held a +3 faceoff advantage (15-12).
NYIT returns to action on Saturday, March 2 on the road at Bentley. Faceoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Waltham, Mass.

I was born into a poor, illiterate farming family in a remote village of Marathwada, India, in 1950. Until 1972, there was no school, electricity, tap water, or mechanised road vehicles. Pebble roads and bullock cart were the only means of transport. Medical facilities were more than 30 km away. After visiting a Brahmin family at Jalna, my father became convinced that only education could cure us from the curse of poverty. He decided to educate us. When I was 9 years old, we left the village and migrated to the nearest urban area. I was given a part-time job in a pharmacy, carrying loads from to house to house.
When my parents had to return to the village to arrange my sister's marriage, I was left alone to work in a temple. From the ages of 11–16 years, I worked there for 6–8 hours a day, but continued my education. During this period, I faced tremendous mental torture in the form of insults from my classmates and teachers because of my dirty outfits. After passing matriculation, two of my classmates gave me free accommodation in their rented room in return for taking care of their bedding, dish washing, and cleaning the room. These incidents were deeply traumatic and made me feel inferior, dependent, and demoralised. But with the goal of passing my examinations with distinction, I studied hard and attended each and every class. After scoring highest in the qualifying examination, I gained admission to study for my MBBS at the government medical college in Nagpur.
The sociocultural difference between me and my peers was huge. I kept to myself and preferred not to stay at the students' hostel. I started feeling lonely and depressed. I slept poorly, my memory deteriorated, and I became increasingly anxious. Months went by and I told no one of my disturbed mental state. One day I decided to commit suicide. I informed my brother, and I was referred to a psychiatrist.
News that I had become a psychiatric patient spread all over the medical college. Everybody started looking on me as being insane. However, I continued to attend college. I tried various drugs but there was no improvement for a whole year. I lost weight, hope, and all interest in life and did not appear for the second MBBS examination. My psychiatrist was exhausted with managing my case, so my mother took me to the jungle for a month to stay with a tantrik. My whole family was worrying about who was going to cure their insane son. "Rather than being alive in such condition it would be better if he dies", I remember my mother saying to other family members. "Why doesn't a black cobra bite and kill him?"
My family decided to take me back to the village, where I stayed like a refugee in my own home. Rather than providing financial support for my family, I was a burden. I used to pray to God for sound sleep and a sound mind. I promised Him that if he gave me a sound mind I would devote the rest of my life to alleviating the suffering of human beings. And one night, God listened to my prayer. I got sound sleep and my delusions started disappearing. My mood became fresh as before and I once again started studying for my second MBBS examination. I completed my MBBS with an excellent score and joined a rural primary health centre.
There I started studying envenomation by scorpion sting, and I later completed an MD in internal medicine. My first publication in The Lancet came in 1978.1 Over the years, I have contributed to textbook chapters and published data on cadmium- and lead-induced renal failure in farmers,2 fluorosis,3 heart attack,4 thyroid disease,5 and snake bite.6 Recently my wife and I did a randomised trial and found that recovery from scorpion sting is hastened by antivenom and prazosin.7
Mental illness has not left me. It has started showing up again after being quiescent for about 30 years. But towards the end of my life I feel contented that I was able to make the best use of my intelligence in the services of humanity. It is rewarding to receive calls from readers of my research and biography, telling me how my work has inspired them. The threat to my mind continues, but I know that psychiatry is far more advanced than in those early days and I will get the best of 21st-century treatment. Early reporting to psychiatrists and appropriate medication can make for a joyful life. There is always room on top.
I am grateful to Zoe Mullan who encouraged me and improved my morale to continue to work in a rural setting over the past many years.

Hats off to you sir. You are constant source of inspiration for clinicians working in resource limited settings.
Thanks for sharing such an inspiring life story. Wishing the best for your health!
I appreciate you sharing your motivating life story as well. Thank you for serving others thoughout your life.
This was an incredibly honest and inspirational piece. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you Dr. Bawaskar! As a current student I relate, I am consistently haunted by the "diagnosis" causing me anxiety and fear. These effects have taken a toll but I've come to understand that my "diagnosis" s manageable and will not define me. Reading your article has given me inspiration, your honesty and sincerity is so much appreciated.
You are an inspiration, "My Friend"

Keynote Speaker
Dr. Herman B. White Jr. Senior Scientist
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Senior Scientist Dr. Herman B. White Jr. of Naperville was honored by the American Physical Society (APS) for his work in the field of physics, his public service and his role in mentoring students and fellow scientists.
On February 14, he received the 2010 Edward A. Bouchet Award, which recognizes a distinguished minority physicist who has made significant contributions to physics research. The award citation read: For his contributions to KTeV experiments and the establishment of a new kind of interaction distinguishing matter from antimatter, as well as his outstanding public service and mentorship roles.
During his 36-year career at Fermilab, White has helped design, commission and analyze data from some of the world's most well-known particle physics experiments. Early in his career, he contributed to the development of an empirical formula (Stefanski and White) widely used at that time in the calculation of neutrino f lux in high-energy particle interactions. (He is the first African-American in history to have a scientific equation that bears his name.) His work in high-energy physics has included a wide variety of experiments.
In addition to his Fermilab position, for the past 16 years he has served as an Illinois Research Corridor Fellow and adjunct professor of physics at North Central College where he is also vice chairman of the Board of Trustees. For many years, White has led communication efforts to bring a focus on physics and physical science research to Congress and governmental agencies, including service on advisory panels for the U.S. Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, NASA and The National Academies. He is a member of a number of other governing boards of directors.
White earned an A.B. degree in physics from Earlham College, an M.S. degree in nuclear and accelerator physics from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in elementary particle physics from Florida State University. He was a resident research associate in nuclear physics at Argonne National Laboratory (1971), an Alfred P. Sloan Travel Fellow at the CERN Laboratory (1972) and University Fellow at Yale from 1976 to 1978.
