Although I think Blair was rather a cowardly politician who could have done more with the mandate he had, I think it needs to be said that he was elected to bring about "Thatcherism with a smiling face". 1997 wasn't 1945 or 1979. The country really wasn't looking for a grand new settlement, it was looking for more of the same but nicer.
I think there is a lot in that

text: I'm trying to increase my milk supply and am thinking that power pumping at night when my LO is asleep may help. I currently pump until no more milk comes and then for a few minutes longer. I just wondered whether power pumping at the same time each day as has been suggested in other threads increases milk supply generally or just at the time of day when the pumping is done? I'd prefer to be BFing the extra milk gained than pumping it and therefore wondered if it's better to power pump during the day when I'd more likely BF? Hope that makes sense!

"We made a lot of mental mistakes defensively, especially in the fourth inning. We did a better job of putting the ball in play, but again, we weren't able to put together a big inning," said Eagle head coach Anthony Ramirez.
"With two games left, our goal is to finish the season strong."
The visitors scraped together two runs in the top of the first, but the Lady Eagles cut the deficit in half with a single run in the bottom of the first. The Lady Eagles then tied up the contest with another single run in the second frame. It was all knotted at 2-2, heading to the third inning.
The Lady Bulldogs caught fire at the plate in the third inning and moved four runners across home plate to take control of the game. Five more runs for the visitors came in during the fourth. Through four full innings, the Bulldogs were on top 11-2.
The visitors got one more run and then stopped the Pettus offense in the bottom of the fifth to capitalize on the "mercy" rule.
Lady Eagle Tristian Moore was perfect at the plate with two hits, including a triple, in two at bats with one run scored. Abby Cantu was 1-2 while Ashlynn Schauer reached on an error and scored a run. Brittany Trevino also reached on a TR miscue.
The Lady Eagles were in Yorktown on Friday night to meet the Kittens. On Tuesday evening, the Pettus girls will wrap up their season with home game against Runge.

Three members of North Central's speech communication department-Mara Berkland, associate professor and chair of speech communication; Amy Buxbaum, assistant professor of speech communication; and John Stanley, assistant professor of speech communication, assistant director of forensics and director of individual events-gave separate presentations as part of a session titled "Bringing the Alien Home: Understanding the Communication Needs of the Undergraduate Millennials" at the annual Central States Communication Association Conference in Milwaukee April 9.
Berkland's presentation was titled "Creativity with Constraint: Guiding the Millennial to Assess, Make Decisions, and Take Risks"; Buxbaum's presentation was "Managing Millennials: Preparing the New Undergraduate to Communicate in the Workplace"; and Stanley's was titled "Discovering Aliens: Making Sense of Millennial Madness."
Following is a summary of their proposal for the session:
The newest generation of U.S. Americans, the Millennials, have been referred to as aliens (or worse), as their communication skills seem so far outside the norm of what is expected in educational and professional settings. The key to developing them as effective communicators depends on our ability to understand who they are and what has shaped them as they enter college. This panel will bring in assessments of and recommendations for working with these undergraduates in communication studies.

The house dressing, feta and garlic, is to die for!
Not sure what is up with the negative comments. . . I have never had anything but PHENOMENAL meals at The Little One; there isn't a bad choice on the menu. My personal favorites are the Cochinito en Chipotle, and the Mole; also unbelievable Chile Rellenos and Tamales, AND AMAZING limonadas and fresh fruit drinks that will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!!! (try the beet-mandarin limonada if she has it). Incredibly fresh food made with love, and, yes, hugs (and generally kisses too) are mandatory. Service is fast and friendly. SO, if you are uptight you might not like the vibe (loud music and an owner who loves her patrons), but only a fool or a philistine would not love the food!
Amazing food
One of the best burgers in town.
This restaurant serves world-class food and wine. The only authentic Spanish restaurant in the area, with seafood, lamb, beef, pork and vegetarian selections, as well as many smaller tapas. There is live entertainment nightly, plus the annual Flamenco Festival.
Fantastic Food and Great Service!
Salsa is made at your table FRESH. Many tasty dishes and vege choices. Mariachi band can be a bit loud. Best Mexican restaurant on the east side, by far.
One of our top favorite places to go for a special night. We've been taking our kids since they were babies and the staff knows them and can always find something for them to eat (burger, fish n chips, pasta, etc.) even though there's no "kids' menu". The kind of place where the waitstaff has been there for years. Our favorite time of year is during the RoadTrip menu!
Service was good but the food was excellent, very happy with the experience and woukd come back again! Loved the appetizers. Musseld were great
It's been a favorite of mine for many years. I've been going there since they took over the place from its previous owners. Great for breakfast and lunch. Get there early for lunch because the crowd from D-M fills it up.
Outstanding Sunday brunch at a very reasonable price.
I haven't been disappointed here. The lemon potatoes are amazing, the gyro is succulent and full of flavor, the falafal is one of the best in town. The service has been mostly good, The service is good and swift. This is one of my favorites.
Best burrito's in the world! I don't live in Tucson but am going to retire there just so that I can get these vegetarian burritos twice a day for the rest of my life. I've tried them all and haven't found anything bad to say about anything. The service is GREAT and the staff are some of the most beautiful young ladies I have ever met. I hope that they all stay employed there even after graduating from the University of Arizona "GO KATS"! They don't deserve a five star rating but that is the highest it goes! They deserve a twenty million star rating!
Excellent Korean food. Very clean and friendly. Family run.
My new favorite Korean place. Everything made in house.
Hard place to fine, but lot's of fun!
went there with my girlfriend, service was pretty good and fast,clean place, the food was actually very good, had a cold european beer with my stuffed cabbage. the owners were pretty cool down to earth ppl, gave us free samples of european candy, it actually felt good supporting a small mom n pop local buisiness. would definately return for more stuffed cabbage.
I just saw the film "Spinning Plates" that features La Cocina de Gabby. I was very touched by their beautiful and sad story.
The director has created a web site for strangers to help Antonio, Gabby and Ashley, if they wish.
I truly believe that American is the land of opportunity, but also of generous hearts.
(I'm waiting in line behind a woman speaking on her cellphone in another language. Ahead of her is a white man. After the woman hangs up, he speaks up.)
Man: "I didn't want to say anything while you were on the phone, but you're in America now. You need to speak English."
Woman: "Excuse me?"
Man: *very slow* "If you want to speak Mexican, go back to Mexico. In America, we speak English."
Woman: "Sir, I was speaking Navajo. If you want to speak English, go back to England."
The curry chicken is the best I have had in a long time! Superfriendly service and the price is fair as well!
My husband and I are fairly regular customers at Don's Bayou because we love the good food and pleasant chats with the owners, Don and Teresa. They're such nice people and make us feel welcome as soon as we come in the door. Lately we've been going in on weekend mornings before noon when they serve large mugs of rich coffee (freshly brewed by the cup) and beignets (kind of like a doughnut: a square of fried dough eaten hot and sprinkled with powdered sugar). I know they're adding freshly-cut fruit to their weekend morning menu, too. We haven't tried it yet but intend to do so. The weather has been so beautiful, so we've been enjoying this weekend treat on the patio overlooking the garden area and the Catalinas.
None of their food, much of it deep-fried, is particularly good for the waistline, to which we can personally attest because we can't resist! One of our favorite entree items is the shrimp po'boy. It's plenty spicy with either remoulade or shrimp cocktail sauce , and oh so good! We also love the really thinly sliced, vinegary cabbage coleslaw. The food tends to be expensive, but really fresh seafood IS expensive, even on the coast. The fresh crayfish boil is wonderful and wonderfully messy. It's not always available, so we "liked" Don's on Facebook so we'll be alerted when the high quality crayfish have shipped in. There's a beer on tap that we really like called Andy-Gator. It has a higher alcohol content than normal, and is what we were looking for in a good brew to go with our spicy meals.The only thing we didn't care for were the fries, but who needs them?
This place deserves to be supported by happy, well-fed customers!

Newlyweds made history just after midnight, as the first same-sex wedding in Hawaii took place very early Monday morning.
The wedding was filled with song, smiles and even a few laughs.
Click here to watch Paul Drewes' report.
"I fell in love with you when I realized we both stole hotel soaps and took pineapple juice from airline lounges," said Chris Nelson.
This was a first though for the Rev. Dr. Jonipher Kwong, even though he had officiated dozens of weddings with the Unitarian Church. He, along with his fiance Nelson, was the first same-sex couple to get married in Hawaii.
"As I look at Jonipher and Chris, I see the start of a new era of aloha, a more equal chapter in Hawaii history, but most of all I just see two people in love," said Rep. Kaniela Ing during the ceremony.
"You are about to do something that you have not done, even in 15 years of being together and until recently you could not do," said Rabbi Peter Schaktman.
Many shared their joy for the happy couple, and for others who have waited years, even decades, to get married in Hawaii.
"At this time, at this place, a more humane world comes into being," said Gov. Neil Abercrombie during the ceremony.
After the vows had been exchanged, and the marriage official Kwong stated, ''We feel great. It feels like the completion of a very long journey."
For the state, the wedding was just the start. After midnight, two dozen couples filed their completed marriage ceremonies with the Department of Health for certification. More than a dozen more submitted marriage applications online.
State personnel said there were no problems with the changes made to the DOH website to accommodate same-sex weddings.
After the initial rush to tie the knot from Hawaii residents, DOH personnel are now expecting for an increase in weddings from visitors.
"We anticipate a larger number of people coming forward from out-of-state to marry in Hawaii. Our traditional marriages are more predominantly visitors than people from Hawaii." said Keith Yamamoto, the deputy director for the Department Of Health.

According to Police Chief Joe Treviño and Sgt. John Berry, the first arrest happened on Aug. 11 just after midnight when Berry spotted a Ford F-250 driving along the 1000 block of West Crockett Street with no license plates.
Patrolman Josh Meakins quickly arrived to provide support and the two officers asked to search the vehicle. When permission was granted, the officers started finding what they suspected were illegal drugs.
Within a short time, the officers had found 27 Xanax tablets. Meakins then found some methamphetamine and the search turned up 20 grams of heroin.
"We don't see much heroin down here," Treviño said.
The driver, 20-year-old Derrick Wessels, was charged with the state jail felony of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and his passenger, 21-year-old Emily Arredondo, was arrested on two second degree felony drug possession charges.
State jail felonies are punishable by a sentence of up to two years in a state jail facility and a fine of $10,000.
A conviction on a second degree felony charge could result in a prison sentence of as much as 20 years and a $10,000 fine.
The other incident took place on the night of Aug. 14 when Berry and Patrolman Garrett Davidson searched a vehicle during a routine traffic stop.
In that incident, the officers found 17-year-old Adriana Garcia, Matthew Martinez and Ryan Fuentes in the vehicle. Both men were 20 years old.
Berry said Garcia was found to have synthetic marijuana, an anti-depressant and marijuana in her possession and the two men had marijuana.
Garcia was charged with a state jail felony for possession of the prescription drug and with two Class B misdemeanors for the possession of the synthetic marijuana and the marijuana.
The two men were charged with Class B misdemeanors for possessing marijuana.
A conviction on a Class B misdemeanor charge could result in a $2,000 fine and up to 180 days in jail.
The third case involved a call from the corporate office of Walgreen's Pharmacies.
The office tipped off the police that someone was using fraudulent prescription forms to obtain prescription drugs from their stores.
Berry and Treviño said Detective Sgt. Greg Baron joined him and Patrolman Yadial Rodriguez in monitoring the store here and the pharmacy at the local Walmart Supercenter to look for the suspect.
The evening of the arrest the police received a couple of tips of the suspect buying drugs using the fraudulent forms and with the help of Patrolman Salvador Sanchez, they were able to make an arrest.
Treviño said the suspect, identified at 29-year-old Gabriel Anthony Garcia of Corpus Christi, was booked into the Bee County Jail Monday evening on two charges of possession of a fraudulent prescription form. The charge is a state jail felony.
Berry said Garcia also was wanted on a warrant out of Corpus Christi for the same offense.

Bring It On!
I am so excited about the game tonight! It's going to be a blast. Man, this has been a great season. From Fan Day to today, it's been so much fun! I've been extremely blessed with being able to go to four games, and I'm going to my fifth tonight.
Even though the Padres are out of it, this is going to be like a playoff game here. I am so excited! There's probably going to be a lot of Dodgers fans coming in, including Emma, as they look for their team to clinch the NL West. Well, sorry guys, but I really really hope you don't get it tonight. Tomorrow, maybe, but not tonight. I need to see my boys get a win here. In fact, I refuse to let you guys clinch tonight. Not on our turf. Not on my watch.
Things are always super intense when the Padres and Dodgers meet. It's definitely going to be a playoff atmosphere for these next two days. I was at the second game of the season, when we opened against the Dodgers. I had a blast, screaming "BEAT LA!" I loved the atmosphere. I loved cheering as hard as possible to drown out the Dodgers fans. I love this. It's going to be sweet. Bring it on!
I'm also super excited about the return of the Kouz. He's missed 17 games!! I've missed him like crazy. It's going to be so good to see him on that field again, being his usual amazing self. I'm probably going to cry when he's announced tonight. Oh man, I can't wait to see him again. I LOVE YOU KOOOOOOOOOOZ!!!!
In case you didn't notice, I'm SUPER excited about going to the game tonight🙂 It's going to be so much fun, and I'll try to get a blog entry up tomorrow with all the pictures and stories from all my adventures out there. I love PETCO. I love my Padres. I love beating LA. It's going to be a great night.
So I watched this video this morning and it made me cry like crazy. It was the Angels' tribute to Nick Adenhart after clinching the AL West last night. Oh man. Check it out here.
I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

We need two big "W's"!! Have a great time at Petco tonight. It's so cool that you are going to see Emma too! I'm super excited about Kouz's return. I missed him so much!!
KayBee.. I hope you have a super awesome wonderful night.. get so tired of cheering that you leave in the 12th.. totally exhausted.. and THEN.. only then.. the Dodgers win in the 13th. : )
Have a great time tonight! And yes, we can tell that you're excited! LOL!
Kaybee, I hope your Padres have mercy on my Dodgers tonight. One of these days, they have to win ONE game.
Ha I gotta feeling whoooo whooo whoooo!! (chorus)
We all love and know that song but how bout'
"Oh ay ee ay ee ay ee ayyyy its a party in the usa!!!?
Love that song too. Great post. Have a great time and hopefully the Pads spoil the Dodgers playoff celebration!!
While both our games were equally as exciting – your guys got the win! And over the Dodgers! Great job – you saw an amazing game!

Authorities identified the inmate who died in custody Wednesday morning at the Green County Jail.
Sheriff Jeff Skatrud said 17-year-old Kyle Peotter was found unresponsive in a cell at about 6 a.m. The report also said Peotter was not breathing.
In a news release Thursday morning, Skatrud said Peotter had been an inmate in the Green County Jail since Sept. 27, 2012. He said the teen was in custody on a probation hold issued by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections.
Authorities said an autopsy was conducted Wednesday and the final report is pending for toxicology tests results, which the sheriff said will not be available for several weeks at the earliest.
Skatrud said initial information indicates Peotter died as a result of a medical condition.
Monroe Police continue to conduct an investigation into Peotter's death.
The sheriff also said no additional information will be available regarding this incident until the investigation is completed and the final autopsy report has been received.

July 3, 2012 —
If the proposed waterfront design goes forward the way the designers have envisioned, it would feature several overlooks, and a terraced walk on the property behind the stores on Main Street—but not entry to the Main Street stores from the back as had previously been envisioned.
Two different versions of the plan were presented to the Town of Tusten Design Committee on June 27, one by the Chazen Companies, the engineering company retained by the town, and another by Milanville, PA/New York City architect Joe Levine, who has been working in close communication with Chazen and the design committee.
Both plans share the idea of terracing, embraced unanimously by the design committee at its previous meeting. Details differed; for instance, Levine's plan would include a path that goes all the way down to the river's edge and a boat ramp. Committee members noted that Levine's plan was more "natural" and "informal," Chazen's plan more structured and formal. At the meeting, no decision was made as to which direction was preferred.
Both plans call for enhancements to the overlook area and Tusten Veterans Park, with Levine's plan featuring obelisks, and a suggestion from Chazen for a possible water feature. Other elaborations included an idea by Chazen for glass railings to leave the view unobstructed.
There will be another meeting of the design committee in the next four to six weeks to further finalize the design of the project, and sometime later a public information meeting will be held.

Middle Age and the Mediterranean Diet
By Health Day
A nice slice of salmon and a veggie-filled salad with a dash of olive oil may be just what the doctor ordered for middle age women.
In fact, a brand new study suggests women who stick to a Mediterranean-type or similar diet in middle age will enjoy better physical and mental health as the years go by.
Researchers reviewed dietary data from more than 10-thousand women who were in their late 50s and early 60s at the time of the survey. Then, they checked back with them 15 years later to find out about their health.
Those who followed a Mediterranean- or similar-type diet were healthier as they got older. The researchers found that women with healthier dietary patterns at midlife were more likely to survive past age 70 without major chronic disease or major physical or cognitive impairment.
The key to the healthy eating is eating more plant foods, lean proteins and whole grains-and eating less red and processed meats, processed foods in general, and limiting alcohol.

Nvidia on Tuesday announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has initially rejected an additional eight claims challenged by Nvidia in two patents that Rambus has asserted against it in litigation. This follows the USPTO's rejection last month of 41 other claims in seven patents that Rambus had asserted against Nvidia.
"We are pleased that the USPTO decided to review the patentability of these two additional Rambus patents and continued to agree with Nvidia 's challenge to these eight claims. The USPTO has now initially rejected all of the patent claims asserted by Rambus against Nvidia in the ITC," said David Shannon, Nvidia executive vice president and general counsel.
Nvidia has compiled a 100% success rate at the USPTO in challenges to the claims in the patents asserted against it by Rambus in an International Trade Commission (ITC) action filed in November 2008.
The ITC litigation involves memory controllers related to graphics processors.

Gov. Walker talks law enforcement funding during La Crosse stop
Wisconsin's governor continues to roll out previews for his upcoming budget proposal.
During at a brief stop in La Crosse Tuesday, Governor Scott Walker, along with Attorney General J-B Van Hollen, announced plans to boost public safety programs by 14 million dollars.
That includes three million dollars for GPS monitoring for first time restraining orders, one million dollars to the internet crimes against children task force, and four million dollars for crisis response to sexual assault.
The rest of the money will help local law enforcement collect DNA samples at arrests, an idea that some have called an invasion of privacy, but not according to Van Hollen. "It's a simple swab of the cheek, it's very uninvasive, less invasive than finger prints, and the DNA is protected in such ways that we don't even know who's DNA sample it is until such time that it is matched," said Van Hollen.

Ageia Technologies, the developer of dedicated physics processing units (PPUs), said on Monday that it was taken over by Nvidia Corp., the world's largest supplier of discrete graphics processors. The move will allow Nvidia to offer better physics support with its GeForce graphics chips in games that can take advantage of Ageia PhysX PPUs.
"Nvidia is the perfect fit for us. They have the world's best parallel computing technology and are the thought leaders in GPUs and gaming. We are united by a common culture based on a passion for innovating and driving the consumer experience," said Manju Hegde, co-founder and chief executive of Ageia.
Back in 2007 the world's largest manufacturer of x86 central processing units (CPUs), Intel Corp., acquired Havok, a developer of technology that allows physics to be processed on GPUs. The consequence of the takeover was abandoning the development of Havok FX, a physics middleware that relies on graphics chips' stream processors to process physics.
Intel Corp. is currently the largest supplier of graphics adapters through its core-logic chipsets with built-in graphics cores, but Intel at this point does not supply discrete GPUs, which computational power is required for physics effects processing. For that reason, it was relatively important for Intel to ensure that Havok FX – potentially, a very popular middleware – does not make it to the market, as in the opposite scenario the importance of a high-end CPU inside a personal computer for video gaming would decrease. However, the acquisition of Havok was a particularly unpleasant situation for Nvidia, who has been claiming that its GeForce graphics chips could process physics in video games for several years and which is interested in boosting importance of high-end discrete graphics processors.
The acquisition of Ageia will almost certainly enable Nvidia to accelerate physics in video games using Ageia's middle-ware, which means that Nvidia GeForce graphics cards will be able to display higher quality physics effects in titles that take advantage of Ageia PhysX PPU. The development of the latter will most likely be halted. It should be noted that both graphics and physics processing requires massively-parallel processing engines, meaning that there is hardly a difference for end-user or game developer whether physics effects are computed on a CPU, PPU or GPU.
"The Ageia team is world class, and is passionate about the same thing we are – creating the most amazing and captivating game experiences. By combining the teams that created the world's most pervasive GPU and physics engine brands, we can now bring GeForce-accelerated PhysX to hundreds of millions of gamers around the world," stated Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive of Nvidia.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Ageia's PhysX is the world's first physics processing unit (PPU), which offloads software physics processing from central processing units and graphics processing units to it. The architecture of the PhysX PPU is tailored for multi-threaded processing of vertexes, which allows game creators to develop detailed, soft and precise animation and simulation of movements, hair, clothing, liquids, fluids and other.
To take advantage of advanced capabilities the PhysX has, game developers have to create games using Novodex SDK supplied by Ageia, which requires some additional effort from them. Currently there are almost no games that can take advantage of Ageia PhysX, therefore, neither Nvidia, nor users with Nvidia GeForce hardware will benefit from the acquisition in the short term. However, the company may benefit in longer term, provided that Ageia PhysX becomes an open standard.
Following the acquisition of Havok by Intel actual deployment of a Havok-developed physics engine for video games that could take advantage of GPUs is under a big question mark, said Richard Huddy, developer relations chief at Advanced Micro Devices, last November.
According to Richard Huddy, who joined AMD when it acquired graphics chip company ATI Technologies back in 2006, Havok FX is unlikely to be released at all or power many video games. While AMD admits that there are some games on the horizon that can compute physics effects on GPUs, it is highly unlikely that there will be a significant number of them, unless comprehensive tools for GPU physics are available. In fact, by acquiring Ageia, Nvidia is likely to make those tools available after some time needed for their development. Given that Ageia PhysX SDK (software development kit) is used to create games for all three modern video game consoles – Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 – game developers may gladly jump on the bandwagon and make use of "GeForce-accelerated PhysX" when it comes to PC versions of their games.
Nevertheless, physics processing on GPUs may get a boost in popularity when Microsoft releases its DirectX 11, which is projected to support additional features that will provide new opportunities for games developers. In fact, Microsoft already promised Direct Physics application programming interface (API) [which was projected to rely on GPU as well] sometime back, but not actual product has yet been released. When and if Microsoft releases its Direct Physics, it will inevitably compete against Nvidia-owned Ageia PhysX technology.

SPRINGFIELD – Turns out, no one in the state's capital thinks pension reform will get passed during Gov. Pat Quinn's one-day special session either.
I spent the better part of Thursday and Friday in Springfield attending the Illinois Press Association's annual convention. Dozens of newspaper editors from across the state were in attendance, as were some policy wonks eager to bend our ears.
Every single person I talked to about it was skeptical that anything meaningful would get done Wednesday when the General Assembly reconvenes for its one-issue-only session.
That's not a surprise, though it is telling about the lack of faith everyone has in our elected state officials.
Speaker of the House Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have done nothing to spur optimism.
The two are heading into the week in opposite corners, with no sign that either is willing to compromise.
Madigan plans to remove Cullerton's alternate reform package from a bill pending before the House and replace it with his own during a hearing he scheduled for Tuesday.
While not perfect, Madigan's reform bill is much better than Cullerton's. It would require state employees to contribute more toward their pensions, reduce cost-of-living increases and raise the retirement age.
Cullerton says Madigan's proposal is unconstitutional. He proposes giving state retirees a choice between cost-of-living increases and health insurance.
The problem with Cullerton's plan is that it does little to address the state's $98 billion pension liability, which grows by about $17 million each day that reform doesn't happen.
With the pension crisis eating away at the state budget, funneling more and more taxpayer money away from much-needed services, you'd think everyone in the Capitol would be working nonstop until a solution is agreed upon.
Sadly, that's not the case.
And with so much distance between Madigan and Cullerton on the issue and the two refusing to sit down and discuss a compromise, there's as much chance of a resolution this week as there is of the Cubs reaching the World Series.
"So what do you think the General Assembly is going to accomplish on Wednesday?" I asked anyone who would engage me on the topic.
"Nothing," said Diana Rickert, former Northwest Herald reporter who now is director of media relations for the Illinois Policy Institute, a Chicago-based conservative think tank.
"Nothing," said Eric Olson, former Northwest Herald sports/community/business editor who now is the top editor at the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb.
"Nothing," said every single person I asked.
So why even bother with the special session?
Politics, of course. Madigan, Cullerton, Quinn and the rest of the bunch have to make it look like they're trying, even though they're not. And if they can score some political points at the expense of their rivals, so much the better.
There's a gubernatorial election next year, and the stakes are high. Not only is Quinn's future in doubt, Madigan's daughter, Attorney General Lisa Madigan, is considering a run at the state's top seat.
Where does all of this leave taxpayers?
Where else? Working harder so they can continue to contribute more to the black hole that is Springfield.

Home again: Congratulations to the staff of the Northwest Herald, which cleaned up in statewide journalism contests yet again.
For the fourth year in a row and the eighth time in the past 10 years, the Northwest Herald was named by the Illinois Press Association the top midsized daily newspaper in the state.
It's a point of pride for our staff to win IPA's sweepstakes, because its trophy is named after Mabel Shaw, one of the founders of Shaw Media, our parent company.
It's a sad day when we return to McHenry County from the annual IPA convention without Aunt Mabel, which we fondly call the trophy, in tow. We've been fortunate to not have to experience that very often in the past decade.
And that's a testament to the outstanding journalists we have on staff at the Northwest Herald. Congratulations to them.

Thanks, dad: Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. Play some golf. Eat a steak. Do something that makes you happy.
It's your day today. Thanks for all that you do.
• Dan McCaleb of Crystal Lake is group editor of Shaw Media's suburban publications, which includes the Northwest Herald. He can be reached at 815-526-4603, or by email at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @Dan_McCaleb.

A bathroom, also known as a restroom, waste extraction, toilet facility, or the head, is a room that generally contains a toilet, and may also contain any of the following: sink, shower/sonic shower or a bath tub. These fixtures are then connected to a sewage and waste reclamation system where they are recycled.
In 1986, the Mercy Hospital in San Francisco had gender-segregated restrooms. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
In 2255 of an alternate reality, Leonard McCoy sought shelter in the shuttle Bardeen's windowless bathroom in response to his aviophobia. An officer later escorted McCoy, despite his protestations, to a seat. (Star Trek)
In 2364, a series of malfunctions aboard the USS Enterprise-D – which were caused by a microbrain from Velara III – included locking two crewmembers in the head programmers' rest room. (TNG: "Home Soil")
The holding cells aboard Deep Space 9 featured a restroom. (DS9: "Vortex")
In 2375, the USS Voyager faced a situation where it was functioning on a mere four lavatories. (VOY: "Bride of Chaotica!")
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
Head can also refer to a toilet in the bathroom, although this term was used in Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints and not any canon productions.
According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints, the door in Jean-Luc Picard's ready room led to a bathroom. The blueprints also referred to the bathrooms as both "toilets" and "heads".
The main bridge of the USS Enterprise-D featured a bathroom just off the doors leading to the observation lounge. In the authorized re-creation of the main bridge in Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton, the inscription on the doors read "HEAD". The head was visible in a few episodes, but while the doorway was initially labelled CONFERENCE in "Gambit, Part II", it was relabelled HEAD by "Emergence". In addition, in episodes throughout the seventh season, multiple crew members can be seen simultaneously entering the bridge via the head. It is unclear how many toilets are available for use in the head on the main bridge.
According to Jonathan Frakes during the "Journey's End: The Saga of Star Trek: The Next Generation" special in 1994, the Enterprise-D had only one bathroom and he proceeded to point to it on the large cross-section of the Enterprise-D in the main engineering set.
As for how it works, as Bashir said in "Fascination", best not to dwell on it too much.

If you were able to successfully establish a bf relationship with your baby, will you please tell me HOW?
My son was born 8 weeks early, and he just came home on Friday at 36 weeks gestational age. My first son, who is now 3, was entirely breastfed and never had a bottle and I was hoping to do the same with #2, but he came home from the NICU as a bottle-fed baby. I have been putting him to the breast every chance I get, but he hasn't quite got the hang of it and I need to supplement him with the bottle after we try nursing for a little while. He HAS gotten a little bit better in the past few days, but the biggest challenge I am facing is that he doesn't open his mouth very wide so he doesn't latch on all that well most of the time. Many times he just gets frantic and starts hyperventilating and putting his hands and arms in the way. When he does get on, he usually gives up on sucking within about 10 minutes, and it's questionable as to how much of the sucking is actually nutritive.
Did you face any of the same challenges? How long after your baby's actual due date was it before you were able to wean your baby from the bottle? Was it just a matter of patience and persistence before the baby finally got the hang of nursing, or did you have some special techniques that you used to help the baby out?
If you have any tips or suggestions, I would really appreciate it. It's really tough to nurse then bottlefeed then pump throughout the day when I have a 3-year-old to care for as well. So besides really wanting to have a breastfeeding relationship with my new baby, I also need to make it happen in order to be able to provide both of my boys with the attention and care that they need and deserve. Otherwise I'm afraid that I'll have to call it quits.
Thank you so much for any suggestions you might have!

The employees of TheBus, Honolulu's public transit system, ratified a new 5-year labor contract on Tuesday.
Oahu Transit Services, Inc. officials and the Teamsters Local 996 met for several weeks to come to the final offer. The company provided its last, best and final offer on Sunday, June 30, 2013.
"The five-year labor agreement will provide stability for our patrons as well as for our employees," said Roger Morton, President and General Manager of OTS. "We want to thank Teamsters Local 996 and our bargaining unit employees for understanding the current City budget situation and accepting the contract."
"It speaks well of the parties, OTS and the Teamsters, that they were able to reach an agreement amicably, supported by the membership, and avoid any shutdown of TheBus," said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell. "TheBus system will continue to be a critical part of our transit plans for the future, and I believe its integration with rail will help to improve transportation services for Oahu residents."
"Given recent transit strikes in San Francisco and the importance of TheBus to Oahu's residents, mahalo to the Teamsters and OTS for coming to an agreement that keeps our transit system operational for the next five years," added Michael Formby, Director of the Department of Transportation Services.
The agreement includes wage and benefits improvements for the more than 1,300 bargaining unit employees.
Major Contract Terms
Contract affects approximately 1,300 OTS employees that include bus operators, maintenance workers, supervisors, storekeepers and administrative employees.
Duration - 5 years from 7/1/13 thru 6/30/18
Wages - No wage increase for 16 months 7/1/2013 -10/31/2014; Wages will increase by 6.4 percent over five years.
Health Care - No change. All union employees are covered under Teamsters Health and Welfare plan through 100 percent employer contribution. Current contribution rate: $859 per month.
Retiree Healthcare - Increase contributions to the Teamsters Retiree Health fund over the last three years of the agreement. A 5 percent increase over the term of contract.
Pension - No pension increases for 16-months 7/1/13-10/30/14; 17 percent increase in pension contributions over the five year period
Cost Impact - No budgetary impact in the current FY14 fiscal year

Kevin Greene was only joking. When things get as bad as they have for the Green Bay Packers' linebacking corps, well, what else can you do?
"It was kind of freaky. I had some shoulder pads and a helmet actually in my locker this morning," the Packers outside linebackers coach said with a laugh Friday afternoon. "What are they trying to say?"
While the 51-year-old Greene isn't coming out of retirement for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns – although, the Pro Football Hall of Fame nominee is the NFL's all-time leader in sacks by a linebacker (160), and he's in good enough shape that he just might be able to still get after the quarterback – the team's alarming lack of depth both inside and outside is no joke.
The Packers will already be without outside linebacker Clay Matthews (broken thumb), inside linebacker Brad Jones (hamstring) and outside linebacker Nick Perry (foot), all of whom have been ruled out. Outside linebacker Mike Neal (bruised shoulder) is listed as questionable after not practicing all week. And top backup inside linebacker Robert Francois (ruptured Achilles') is on season-ending injured reserve.
If Neal can't play, it would leave only rookies Andy Mulumba, an undrafted free agent, and Nate Palmer, a sixth-round pick, at outside linebacker and starters A.J. Hawk and Jamari Lattimore and rookie seventh-round pick Sam Barrington at inside linebacker.
It's bad enough that defensive coordinator Dom Capers – Greene's old defensive coordinator with the Pittsburgh Steelers and head coach with the Carolina Panthers – is preparing for worst-case scenarios. And while Capers' plans don't include activating his former player – "Coach Dom has made sure that we have a contingency plan in place," Greene said – it could very well include shifting from his 3-4 defense to a 4-3 scheme if disaster strikes. The Packers could also play more dime defense – two linemen, three linebackers, six defensive backs – regardless of matchups.
Neither Packers coach Mike McCarthy nor Capers wanted to talk too much about emergency plans, but Capers did say that he has used a 4-3 in the past, when he was working as the Jacksonville Jaguars' defensive coordinator under Tom Coughlin in 1999 and 2000.
"We were a 4-3 team and did all of our 3-4 stuff out of a 4-3," Capers said Friday. "Hey, that's the nature of our business. You just have to pick up and make sure you have enough there to carry on. I certainly like the way the guys responded last week and I feel they'll go out and respond the same way this week."
Obviously, the Packers' hope is that they can get through Sunday's game without any of their linebackers going down. Capers felt he had a good rotation for last week's game at Baltimore – the Packers' first without Matthews – by having Neal and Perry start and using Mulumba to spell them. Against the Ravens, Mulumba ended up playing 41 snaps on defense after playing only 31 in the previous four games combined.
"Mulumba played a lot last week and he's done well when he's been in there. He's making progress," Capers said. "These young guys, when they get in there and play and you get a chance to see them for 20, 30 plays in a game, you always feel a little bit better the next time because you've seen them. The first time they go in there, you just don't know what to expect."
That's the case with Palmer, who was active for just the second time this season and played his first nine defensive snaps of the year against the Ravens.
"I'm just blessed to have a chance to go out here and play this game and just play football. Yeah, I'm going to be nervous, everybody in their right mind would be nervous, but all of those nerves will have to go out the window when you step between those lines," Palmer said Friday. "Through the course of a game, I'll probably make some mistakes, but I'm just going to have to put it behind me and keep playing and just have fun with it. Because I feel like if I'm having fun, then it's going to be a good day."
Mulumba, meanwhile, got off to an impressive start in training camp and parlayed it into a spot on the 53-man roster. He had been seeing spot duty in the first four games. He enters Sunday having recorded nine tackles.
"I'm really excited about it. It's all about being ready, the next guy up," Mulumba said. "I always approach the same. Teammates count on me. Got to prepare during week, study film, play fast on Sunday.
"It's the nature of the game, we just have to go out there and be ready … (it's) unfortunate that guys got hurt, but we have to be ready to do the job."
The good news – if there is any – is that Mulumba and Palmer got Greene's undivided attention throughout the week in practice. On Friday, as all the various positions went through their individual drills with their position coaches, there was Greene again, with only Mulumba and Palmer with him.
"(There was) a wide variety of things that I stressed. Just simple things like pad level, just operating in everything you do with your low pad level. Just simple fundamentals and technique," Greene said. "The coach-to-player ratio obviously favors both of those guys and I'm able to just pour everything I have into those young men and they've taken it and they have improved.
"Their vision has improved, their technique and fundamentals are always going to be a source of improvement. They're both fine kids and they're both going to play their heart out. Are they going to be perfect? No, but who the hell really is perfect? That's the bottom line. We're all going to make a mistake. The most important thing is you learn from your mistake, don't repeat it and move on from it. That's where they're at. They're good kids and they're going to lay it all on the line for their brothers."

AP Quits Use of Islamophobia/Homophobia in Reporting
We often take after the fine folks at the Associated Press for biased "reporting." But as we criticize when warranted so should we praise when warranted and the AP has done something praiseworthy by telling its correspondents to stop using "Islamophobia" and "homophobia" in their reporting.
On November 26, Politico reported that the AP made some changes to its online style guide, that set of grammatical and language usage rules it requires writers to abide by when writing the news. Out, AP decided, was the phrase "ethnic cleansing" as well as the words "Islamophobia" and "homophobia," all because they are emotionally tinged words that really have no precise meaning — all are essentially euphemisms, not logical, properly descriptive words.
Said AP,
"Ethnic cleansing is a euphemism for pretty violent activities, a phobia is a psychiatric or medical term for a severe mental disorder. Those terms have been used quite a bit in the past, and we don't feel that's quite accurate," AP Deputy Standards Editor Dave Minthorn told POLITICO.
"When you break down 'ethnic cleansing,' it's a cover for terrible violent activities. It's a term we certainly don't want to propagate," Minthorn continued. "Homophobia especially — it's just off the mark. It's ascribing a mental disability to someone, and suggests a knowledge that we don't have. It seems inaccurate. Instead, we would use something more neutral: anti-gay, or some such, if we had reason to believe that was the case."
These changes are sensible and worthy of praise.
Sticking the suffix "phobia" on a word is little else but an assumption that whatever is being tagged "phobic" is somehow obviously an irrational fear. But the fact is calling someone Islamophobic is not something provable on its face. Standing against Islam does not make one clearly phobic over the religion. Similarly, criticizing homosexuality or homosexuals does not prove an irrational fear of gays any more than criticizing weathermen makes one weatherophobic.
There is a great quote by Jules Henri Poincaré that is apropos here: "To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection."
This is applicable because by affixing "ophobia" onto words dispenses with having to think about the criticism the purported phobic is offering. It is all pure emotionalism meant specifically to denigrate critics and destroy their criticism before any thought is given to their points.
The same is true with "ethnic cleansing." It has gotten to the point where if there is even a hint of a racial element to the story any crime or conflagration perpetrated by a government is termed ethnic cleansing. It has become over used to the point of meaninglessness and similarly suffers from an overly emotional entomology.
Kudos to AP for elimination these absurd abuses of logic.
Now if only they can stop using phrases like "gun crime" and we'd be golden.

A Rosetta StoneAugust 29,2014It has been a mystery why economic recovery and a rising stock market have failed to translate into the kind of growth that is felt by ordinary citizens whose earnings have remained mostly stagnant in recent years. A column in The Washington Post by Harold Meyerson sheds light on that question.
Meyersons column highlights an article in the Harvard Business Review showing evidence that corporate behavior has changed in a decisive fashion in the last 30 years. And that changed behavior has starved the larger economy in favor of benefits for stockholders and corporate executives.
Before 1980 or so, major corporations used most of their earnings to invest in business expansion, improved technologies, worker training and pay hikes. After 1980, corporate behavior changed.
The author of the paper, economist William Lazonick, found that from 2003 to 2012, 449 companies on the S&P 500 used 54 percent of net earnings to buy back shares of their stock. Buy-backs have the effect of raising stock prices. Another 37 percent of profits went to dividends for shareholders. Thus, 91 percent of corporate profits were used for the immediate benefit of stockholders rather than the long-term benefit of the company or the benefit of workers through training or raises.
Before 1980, less than half of profits went to shareholders. Thus, within that 30-year period, the percentage of profits used for the benefit of shareholders rose from less than 50 percent to 91 percent.
One reason for the change was that in the early 1980s, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated limits on the power of corporations to buy back their shares. Then in the 1990s, when compensation for company executives became more commonly linked to share price, buy-backs began in earnest. Thus, a CEO who wanted a big payday could direct his company to buy back shares rather than investing in new equipment or pay raises for employees.
So how did they pay for business expenses? They did so by borrowing. Further, companies increasingly are borrowing for the purpose of buy-backs and dividend payments.
In this way, major corporations have become little more than engines of wealth, not for the society at large, but for the narrow segment of the population with large stock holdings or for company executives whose compensation packages balloon as stock prices rise.
It used to be that corporations were seen as a social good, producing jobs that supported the middle class, producing products that were widely available to consumers whose incomes gave them money to buy things, producing ground-breaking research that would lead to even better technology and better products. But now, Meyerson said, the purpose of the modern U.S. corporation is to reward large investors and top executives with income that once was spent on expansion, research, training and employees.
Economic inequality, the shrinking middle class, the lack of social mobility, a sense of vanishing opportunity all of these problems are rising into the consciousness of more and more Americans, who share a sense of helplessness before economic forces that seem beyond their control. But the economy is not beyond our control. It is our creation. The SEC could change the rule that allows unhindered stock buy-backs. Corporations, which are a legal construct designed with public and private responsibilities, could become good citizens again.
Meyerson said, Lazonicks article does nothing less than decode the Rosetta Stone of Americas economic decline. It sheds a light on investment decisions made by the titans of business that are channeling Americas great wealth into the hands of the few, leaving everyone else scrambling to hold onto their jobs and pay their bills.
Companies that have become accustomed to writing the rules, giving them tax breaks and special treatment, need to be reminded that they have a responsibility, too, to invest in Americas workers. It remains to be seen if the politics of the nation, corrupted by the vast flows of corporate money unleashed by recent Supreme Court decisions, can come to grips with the economic realities that are felt in neighborhoods all across America.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Elizabeth Bayley was born into a prominent old New York family. Her promising, privileged life, however, was marked by tragedy early on as her mother died when she was three years old. Her father remarried and had seven children with his second wife before they divorced. She and her sister were rejected by their stepmother and were left in the care of relatives while their father was studying medicine in London. During what she described as her dark years, she took comfort in reading the Scriptures, meditating, and writing in her journals. At nineteen, she was happily married to William Seton, a successful businessman. Although they had five children and a busy household, Seton was drawn to charitable causes and organized a group of society women who visited the sick poor in their homes.

Jeremy Schmutz
Class Year:1995
Biology, Computer Science major
How many of the scientists who have shaped our world can you identify? Here's a few — all Nobel laureates: Harold Varmus. John Mather. Peter Agre. And their schools? Small liberal arts colleges.
Jeremy Schmutz parlayed his undergraduate education at a liberal arts institution—North Central College in Naperville, Illinois—into a key role in the sequencing of the human genome. After majoring in biology and computer science, Schmutz landed on the scientific frontier known as The Human Genome Project at the Stanford Human Genome Center in Palo Alto, California. His work there merged laboratory science, data collection and data analysis as the center sequenced chromosomes 5, 16 and 19.
Schmutz was fortunate to attend a college with easy access to internships and research experiences. A co-op experience at Argonne National Laboratory introduced him to scientists who were developing a new mechanism for sequencing DNA. It would forever alter his life. He learned how the power of computers could be used to understand large quantities of data and how his talents could be critical to ground-breaking research.

Patriot Memory, a leading supplier of advanced dynamic random access memory and flash products, will release its enthusiast-class memory modules for notebooks at Computex Taipei 2009. While the market of advanced modules for laptops has not yet become significant, Patriot will be the third maker to reveal advanced DDR3 SO-DIMMs.
Numerous notebooks based on Intel Centrino 2 (Montevina) platform allow end-users to tweak their performance in order to get higher frame-rates in video games or get additional speed for their work. Such practice is more than questionable, considering rather tight thermal envelope of mobile computers, hence, additional tweaking may cause instabilities or even failures. However, memory module makers seem to believe that the market of advanced memory for notebooks will expand.
Recently Kingston Memory and OCZ Technology Group released their 2GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs with eXtreme Memory Profile (XMP) that can operate at 1066MHz with CL5 latency settings and 1.5V voltage. Patriot decided to follow its rivals and it is highly likely that other suppliers of advanced DRAM products will also release similar products.
At present, exact specifications of Patriot's advanced DDR3 SO-DIMMs are unclear, however, it can be expected that the company will release 2GB modules and 4GB kits that will operate at clock-speeds higher than 800MHz.

Comments: I just ordered a pair of these - having lovingly run my pair of Inspire 7's into the ground (a couple of marathons, several half-marathons, countless training runs, etc.) I have already had a chance to use them twice: both for short 3.5 mile runs (one on the treadmill and one on the road). Very impressed with how they feel/fit right out of the box. Light. Supportive. Comfortable.
From: Adam, Middlesex, NJ, USA
Comments: A fine shoe; light and "fast," but surprisingly supportive, too. I usually race in the Elixir, but the Inspire is light enough to serve as a racing shoe for marathons.
From: C (Brisbane, Australia)
Comments: I started running about 1.5 yrs ago and am up to 25 mpw. I average just under a 7 min/mi 5k pace. Since I started running, I've been searching for a good training shoe. Its been difficult mainly because I moderately overpronate in one foot but am neutral in the other due to a larger than average leg length discrepency. Shoes either provided too much correction for my neutral foot or not enough for my overpronating foot. Luckily, I found the Mizuno Elixir, but it just doesn't have quite enough cushioning for me for runs greater than 8 miles. So, I decided to take a look at the Inspire 6 - enter my sweet spot. Great, great shoe that provided just enough stability for my overpronating foot but not too much for my neutral foot. The Inspire 8 is definitely similar to the Inspire 6, and, in my opinion, a better shoe. Like many others, I hated the Inspire 7, but Mizuno definitely resurrected the Inspire with the 8th edition.
From: Ben, Hillsborough, NC
Comments: The shoes looked and felt great right of the box but after a 6-mile run in them it was a totally different experience. I had discomfort in my right foot and the following morning the arch on my left foot was tender/sore as well. I would not recommend this shoe to anyone.
From: Nick, Austin, TX
Comments: Finally the shoe is back. I loved 5,6 but 7 was a disaster. I found the cushioning to hard. Just did not feel home. 8 I fell in love with again from day one and enjoy wearing them again. If you hated the 7, I am pretty sure you will love the 8 again. Will use them for the Frankfurt Marathon 2011 this weekend.
From: Marcus, Zurich, Switzerland
Comments: I find the 8's cushioning quite a bit more firm than the 5's or 6's. I haven't run in the 7's, but I can safely say the pair that I received were quite firm in the mid-sole and heel and lacked the bounce of forementioned series. The Osaka gets great kudos for the colors, but firm ride is a downer for this Mizuno fan. This is not what I'm used to from Mizuno. I love the bounce, and this pair just doesn't have it where it counts.
From: Keith Abbott, Annadale, VA
Comments: A cracking shoe! Returns to the fit of the Inspire 6. Fans of the Inspire 6 who didn't like the Inspire 7 will love the fit of this shoe. Better cushioning than either Inspire 6 or 7, but still with the trademark Mizuno road feel and smooth transition.
From: Steven, Hobart, Tasmania
Comments: A solid improvement for sure! More flexibile in the forefoot and I can feel more cushioning in the heel comapared to the Inspire 7. Lighter feeling, and the same fit or similiar to the 6 model. The colors aren't too shabby either. Very pleased after two 7.5 mile training runs Bravo!!!
From: David, Tempe, AZ

No injuries in Townshend crash SaturdayMay 27,2013No injuries in crash on Saturday
TOWNSHEND — No injuries were reported after a two-car crash on Saturday afternoon on Route 30.
In a press release, Vermont State Police Trooper James Matthews said Sher Ward, 64, of Townshend, was driving a 2003 Volkswagen north on Route 30 around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and planned to make a left turn. Lydia Mourad, 60, of West Roxbury, Mass., was also driving north in a 2003 Subaru Forester.
Matthews said Mourad failed to slow down and the Forester sideswiped the Volkswagen as it was turning.
Both vehicles came to rest under their own power off the travel portion of the road. No injuries were reported.
Matthews said Townshend Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and Rod's Mobil removed the vehicles.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — FairPoint Communications is being purchased by Illinois-based... Full Story

We are introverts. And we have a few things we need to get off of our chests. I'd apologize for appointing myself as a spokesperson for all introverts, but most of them won't mind ... and quite frankly, those who do mind won't say anything about it because, well, they're introverts. If you're not one of us, don't worry. I'm not here to give you shit or make you feel bad. There are just some misconceptions about who we are as people, and I think it's important that you understand a few things about us before we finally snap and stab your face off.
4We Are Not Going to Snap and Stab Your Face Off
Once every couple of years, some deranged psychopath steals a tank, drives into a mall, and starts leveling the food court, screaming out the names of random family members as each fast food booth disintegrates in a cloud of dust, flames, and overpriced pizza. For the next month, every dumbfuck, ratings-hungry news channel turns the guy into a god by interviewing everyone he ever made eye contact with.
Sources say psychopaths drink water regularly, which can't be ruled out as a catalyst.
In interviewing these people, we get two consistent descriptions that always show up in every single catastrophe. They'll either say that they couldn't believe that he did it because he was such an outgoing, friendly guy -- you'd never expect that he was secretly a ticking time bomb of taco-stand annihilation. Or they'll talk endlessly about how he was a quiet loner. Always kept to himself, obviously plotting the demise of coffee shops and cellphone cover booths.
It's always bothered me that the news devotes so much time to their social status. I mean, I understand why they do it. We want an explanation so we can understand what made Chad Angrytank finally pop and whip out his tank fury. And for some reason, it's just not enough for us to settle on, "He had obvious mental problems. Sane people don't go on murder rampages." It's just always been weird to me that they choose that specific area of his life to examine, barely branching out to other possibilities or clues.
Can you spot the ticking time bomb?
But over time, we've seen so many of these "He was a loner time bomb" stories that we've started to associate completely normal introverts with an inevitable madman demise. That dude isn't a human. He's an eventual headline. Even from a non-murder viewpoint, it's still hard to not be creeped out by introverts because our personalities and mental conditions are an unknown to people outside of our bubble.
We are biologically predisposed to fear the unknown. It's why little kids are afraid of the dark and won't hang their feet over the edge of the bed, for fear that whatever is down there, just out of their sight, is going to suddenly pop out and spank their ass with a chainsaw. It was nature's way of keeping us out of the woods after dark so our species didn't end up as nocturnal predator turds. And even though we may not need it as much today as we did when we all had full-body fur, it's still embedded in our genetic infrastructure.
It's why all the scariest horror movies are the ones where not much is shown of the killer/monster. It's 10 times more frightening when you don't know where they're at. He's somewhere out there. Lurking. Hiding. Waiting to jump out and Freddy Krueger my dick off.
That unknown factor freaks us out, and in not knowing the personality quirks of an introvert, we assume that it must be bad, just to be on the safe side.
3We Are Not Drowning in a Sea of Depression
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
People seem to think that because we're not out at the club or taking part in the neighborhood "Oppress Minorities" meetings, we're sitting at home, alone in the dark, softly crying into a printed-out stock photo of a random crowd. Scatter-shooting prayers at a Red Rover line of gods, begging for someone -- anyone -- to come over and save us from our loneliness.
Warning: Do not attempt. Indulging a "white knight" fantasy may result in regret and extreme discomfort.
Now before we go any further, understand that there are some people out there who have genuine fears of social activity. But for the purposes of this article, I'm not talking about people who are introverts against their will. I'm talking about the millions of us out there who are introverts because we simply prefer our nice, quiet houses over the jaw-clinching idiocy of public functions.
I see parents (and have been one of them) get intensely concerned over their kids' computer or phone use, saying things like, "She needs to get off of that thing and go meet actual people." As a parent and a functioning human, I understand the need and benefits of "real life" social interaction for growing kids. I know that reading facial expressions, tones of voice, and body language is a highly valuable skill, and their hopes of finding a good job (let alone making it through the interview) banks on them being familiar with it. And the more people they sharpen that skill on, the better they will become.
Also don't pee anywhere to "make your mark" on the company.
On the other side of that coin, as a full-grown adult, I also understand that once you've learned those skills, your life doesn't malfunction or cease to carry meaning if you decide that the whole "face-to-face" interactions suck big ol' floppy horse balls.
Personally, I have an exponentially easier time opening up and sharing myself when I'm not staring into someone's confused, horrified eyes while I'm telling stories about my dad measuring my brother's shit in front of my first date (that actually happened, by the way). In many ways I'm more human in that setting, and our relationship is much more intimate without the setbacks of a person being physically in my presence.
I think many introverts are like that. I'd even go as far as saying we are a big reason that social media sites became the juggernauts that they are. Well, besides giving us the ability and access to occasionally trash talk Rob Thomas for no reason at all over the stupidest, non-trash-talk-worthy reasons:
Via Twitter
The statistics might show something different for all I know (a rudimentary Google search shows stats going both directions, so there's a lot of bias to sift through), but in my real world experience, introverts go through depression about as often as extroverts. I guess it's just easier to assume that we're all brooding emo twats because, to the outside eye, we appear to be hiding in isolation.
Oh, speaking of that ...

Parenting Positive Kids
My older step children (4 and 5) have started lying to get each other in trouble. One of them will do something wrong and then they both run to me saying the other did it. It takes a long time for me to get the guilty one to confess. They both end up sitting at the table or in their room for a long time. I feel bad knowing that one of them hasnt done anything and he's still being punished. Any suggestions?
October 6, 2012 at 9:28 PM
Here's a bump.
I hope it stops soon for you.
by SabrinaLCOctober 7, 2012 at 9:39 PM
I don't know, that's awful :-/
I hope it stops soon
Learn how to tell who's lying. Have them look at your eyes when they talk to you. If they start looking to their left, they are lying. I can always tell when my dd is lying to me. But I can also tell when my brother is lying to me by just talking to him on the phone lol it's a gift lol.
by steffbarOctober 8, 2012 at 10:18 AMlol wish I could do that.
October 8, 2012 at 10:35 AM
Oh that's hard. I would make it a point when you find out who is the guilty one to only punish that child and not the other.
Lying is always a tough one. One thing I have learned is that lying is driven by attention seeking. So, this says to me that the two kiddos are looking for attention in all the wrong ways. When one comes and lies to you, you could say, "Wow, it looks like you two really need some attention, why don't you come hang out with me at the kitchen table. We will read a book together." It seems counter intuitive to give them positive attention for negative behavior. However, that's what will stop the lying. The more you "ignore the lie and not ignore the child" as Bryan Post tells us, the less they will lie. Also, it's common for 4/5 year olds to lie because they don't really know how to filter their thoughts yet, so they spit out whatever pops into their head. Good luck!
