Why is America living in an age of profound economic inequality? Why, despite the desperate need to address climate change, have even modest environmental efforts been defeated again and again? Why have protections for employees been decimated? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers?
The conventional answer is that a popular uprising against big government led to the ascendancy of a broad-based conservative movement. But as Jane Mayer shows in this powerful, meticulously reported history, a network of exceedingly wealthy people with extreme libertarian views bankrolled a systematic, step-by-step plan to fundamentally alter the American political system.
The network has brought together some of the richest people on the planet. Their core beliefs that taxes are a form of tyranny- that government oversight of business is an assault on freedom are sincerely held. But these beliefs also advance their personal and corporate interests: Many of their companies have run afoul of federal pollution, worker safety, securities, and tax laws.
The chief figures in the network are Charles and David Koch, whose father made his fortune in part by building oil refineries in Stalin s Russia and Hitler s Germany. The patriarch later was a founding member of the John Birch Society, whose politics were so radical it believed Dwight Eisenhower was a communist. The brothers were schooled in a political philosophy that asserted the only role of government is to provide security and to enforce property rights.
When libertarian ideas proved decidedly unpopular with voters, the Koch brothers and their allies chose another path. If they pooled their vast resources, they could fund an interlocking array of organizations that could work in tandem to influence and ultimately control academic institutions, think tanks, the courts, statehouses, Congress, and, they hoped, the presidency. Richard Mellon Scaife, the mercurial heir to banking and oil fortunes, had the brilliant insight that most of their political activities could be written off as tax-deductible philanthropy.
These organizations were given innocuous names such as Americans for Prosperity. Funding sources were hidden whenever possible. This process reached its apotheosis with the allegedly populist Tea Party movement, abetted mightily by the "Citizens United" decision a case conceived of by legal advocates funded by the network.
The political operatives the network employs are disciplined, smart, and at times ruthless. Mayer documents instances in which people affiliated with these groups hired private detectives to impugn whistle-blowers, journalists, and even government investigators. And their efforts have been remarkably successful. Libertarian views on taxes and regulation, once far outside the mainstream and still rejected by most Americans, are ascendant in the majority of state governments, the Supreme Court, and Congress. Meaningful environmental, labor, finance, and tax reforms have been stymied.
Jane Mayer spent five years conducting hundreds of interviews-including with several sources within the network-and scoured public records, private papers, and court proceedings in reporting this book. In a taut and utterly convincing narrative, she traces the byzantine trail of the billions of dollars spent by the network and provides vivid portraits of the colorful figures behind the new American oligarchy.
"Dark Money" is a book that must be read by anyone who cares about the future of American democracy."

The team at NetherRealms Studio leaves the OutWorld behind to test their might against the gods of the DC Universe in Injustice: Gods Among Us. When the world's finest meet on the field of battle, you know that only sparks can fly. But don't expect Raiden or Liu Kang to make an appearance. Ed Boon and his team throw on the spandex as they take the fanboy backroom brawls to the main stage. Finally, we can settle the debate once and for all what will happen when the Man of Steel goes toe-to-toe with the Caped Crusader.
Having watched a couple of battles, it's clear that the team took much of what they learned with the last Mortal Kombat iteration and applied it to Injustice: Gods Among Us. Boon says that they're looking to include much of the same amount of content from the previous MK and about the same roster size with additional characters sprinkled out through DLC.
Along with content, much of what NetherRealms learned from tweaking the combat has been added to this DC brawl. Move plus, which allowed you to add a little extra pain to your regular moves, makes a return to the arena. A special meter builds up as you dish out the damage with some (pardon the pun) super moves.
With a few quick flicks of the stick, Superman takes his opponent into the stratosphere only to make the return trip screaming into the Earth below. The man with the big red cape kept his opponents at a distance with his laser vision but could bring the pain up close when needed. Batman, on the other hand, needed to keep his distance with a couple of fancy batarangs or anything else he might be hiding in his utility belt.
Wonder Woman plays a little differently by letting you switch between her lasso to the sword and shield on her back. No word yet if you can fly the invisible jet into your opponent. Solomon Grundy was born just in time for some Monday Night Wrestling since most of his attacks deal with grapples and using anything that he can pull out of his back.
As Boon points out, the two styles of combat (power vs. gadget) will matter when it comes to taking the fight to your opponents as well as what you can do in the environment itself.
The biggest stars of this particular gameplay demo didn't throw a single punch, but still managed to steal the show, and they were the environments, two of which we were shown. The Batcave and what the developers were calling The Big City give players enough room to escape without finding their backs up against the wall too often. Sometimes a good smack or a well-placed throw sends your opponent cartwheeling into a new just as large and beautifully detailed as the last. The team showed that you could even make your way back to the beginning section if you happen to know your way back.
Besides being highly detailed with plenty of action going on in the background, each of these environments prove to be just as dangerous as the competitors, with extra goodies lurking in nearly every corner. As the ground shakes under every slam, the background responds through visuals as well as, in the case of the Batcave, letting a couple of grenades roll onto the field. Other items such as exploding barrels stacked at the end of the stage can be used by either player to give them a new weapon in their already lethal arsenal.
Even the way that players use these items can change. Batman might take an opponent's face and slam it into a nearby car, whereas Wonder Woman might take that car and slam it into your face. As you can tell, the attacks can be very different depending on whom you bring to the field.
While we'll wait until next year to finally get our hands on Injustice: Gods Among Us, you can rest assured there will be more latex, blood, and far more surprises for this game over the coming months.

MTC Mamba 3-12x44 scope
MTC Optics are a relatively recent name on the scene; but with Gary Cooper and his wife Sammie at the helm, it's an outfit that's already hit the ground running.
Their experience on the Hunter Field Target circuit has resulted in the development of a range of scopes highly suitable for the sport, but they also have scopes to suit just about every air rifle discipline, so their company remit reaches further afield than just HFT.
For review here, is the 3-12x44 model taken from the Mamba range. It comes fitted with the German 4a reticle, a standard design but one that is surprisingly versatile in use – more of which in a moment. The scope shares the same rugged features as the range topping Viper series, and as you'll see it comes rather well equipped. All MTC scopes are manufactured by Optisan, and seem to offer extremely good value for money, whilst keeping quality to an acceptable level.
A hunter's scope
The Mamba spec scopes are all aimed primarily at hunting applications, and I have to say that when I first handled this model, the first impression was one of a quite heavy, solidly made product that should be retailing for double the asking price.
Just take in this specification and you'll see what I mean: side wheel parallax adjustment; battery powered reticle illumination; variable magnification; integral flip-up lens covers; screw-on sunshade; and finally split ring mounts - all included in the price!
That German 4a reticle has 3 large square ended posts, with a fine hair going up from the centre. The centre point is effectively a floating dot within fine crosshairs that don't quite meet, and is fine enough to allow for accurate shot placement, whilst fully seeing the target.
The turrets are covered by rubber sealed screw caps, which even conceal a spare battery for the illuminator. The finger adjustable turrets give 1/4inch at 100yds per click, with 6.5 full revolutions available. With a rotating outer ring to mark the point of zero, keeping track is simple. The adjustment clicks are reasonably positive and better than many, and all tracking of adjustments came in perfectly on test.
Side parallax focusing is something that has really taken off of late, and the benefits of being able to easily adjust the clarity whilst keeping on aim are obvious. This is a hunting scope remember, so parallax adjustment on the relatively low mag of 12x max. is mainly just to achieve a clear sight picture, rather than for any range finding properties. That said, it performs well, and the smooth dial does give a rough guide as to target distance - especially at close quarters.
To have metal flip-up lens covers which are actually fine-threaded into the scope body, is a classy feature, and on this Mamba, they add a real feeling of quality. If the sunshade is added, the cover just screws into this instead - neatly done!
In use, the German reticle was a delight, and I even found the centre area bracketed a 15mm circle at 25yds on 10.5x mag, so some homework will pay dividends in the field. Clarity from 10-45yds is usable, so whilst it's perfect for hunting, HFT would also be possible, given the reticle proportions.
My only criticism concerns the illuminator, which (unless both batteries supplied were dodgy) seemed a little feeble (or just too subtle for my liking!) compared to some.
That apart, this scope really appeals, and with a robust high quality feel, sharp optics and a comprehensive package, it's something of a snip at £184.

Very milky scopes and I went threw 2 vipers and 2 mambas to end up with my money back.
Clearly a impulse buy on looks with these and I would suggest you take a good look at all mechanical parts for just incase some thing may fall off.
Also check the paralax adjuster to see if it actually adjusts.
MTCs excuse is they often have bad batch's,my reply is (to many bad batch's and keep away),just because there in with the gun mags,infact gary being a air gunner reporter,does not mean you should buy.
Check ebay and the forums scope section and I guarantee you will see many vipers and mambas then ask your self the question why?
I must add there customer service is very good and they replaced my scope 3 times,3times to many so got my money on the 4th.
Classic case of a product designed to a marketing brief, not by engineers. High spec, low quality, high price. Very poor glass. Avoid.
I have a Viper 4-16x50IR and 3-12x44IR, both are excellent scopes.The optics are so bright and clear. My only moan is the finish is a bit weak and has no endurance for in the field work.
I agree they seem to have some problems but i am well pleased with mine!!!
My Theoben Eliminator FAC gas ram is fitted with a MTC Mamba lite.
Been using the scope for about a year, good clear picture and seems to handle the Eliminators recoil ok, for the price paid I have no gripes, tried very hard to buy a scope not made in China, had to settle for one that had some German association, anyway MTC are OK.

Isn't there something like a Bernoulli distribution ? :P
Let be a Poisson process with rate .
For define
Compute the distribution and the expected value of for .
I have calculated the probability of being odd or even, which will control probability of being -1 or +1.
Fix t > 0
Similarily for probability of being even.
How do I go about finding the distribution function, I assume I have found something like density function?
How would I go about finding the distribution function from this. I looked at the bernoulli distribution, I didn´t really see how I could use it for my particular problem though. Help on this area would be appreciated.
Also, my attempt on the expected value gave me .
Could this be correct? It seems reasonable that the expected value tends to zero as , but also that the expected value is not zero when t is small, because it is more likely that is even for small t.
I don't understand your problem actually.
Y(t) can only take two values : 1 and -1.
We have and
And this is exactly a Bernoulli distribution over {-1,1} with parameter p(t)
Why do you absolutely want a distribution function ? You can write it if you really want to, but it's not really necessary...

Falling Into Life: A Gay Exmormon's Journey
Chapter Four – Growing Up a Happy© Mormon Kid
I was relatively happy as a Mormon kid…
I wanted to be the happy-go-lucky type, and so for the most part I enjoyed being a kid. I enjoyed having a built in group of buddies that were always there. Sure, I was typically the odd one out, I hated playing "church ball", and I was certainly more the macramé-plant-pot-holder-maker kind of kid. And lemme tell ya, I made a *lot* of those. My mom loved that I was her little "sensitive Steve", but I guess somehow she thought I wasn't going to grow up and become a big ol' queer while demonstrating amazing present wrapping skills, macramé skills, clothes-matching skills, bully-avoidance techniques, attention to detail and queeriness in general.
Having two torturous older brothers until I was 8 was interesting. We were an odd group; they fine-tuned ways in which I could be used to win bets, let out pent-up anger, or use to further their business du jour. There were times when I found myself inside a dryer while it was on, shoved into a trunk of a car with my mouth duct-taped shut, or being used as a weight on the back of a bike with my foot stuck in the spokes as my ankle was slowly ground off. My mom had no idea how to control them, and typically ended up trying to spank them only to shriek in tears that we had caused her to "break a blood vessel in her hand", and she'd show us purple areas on her palm where our misdeeds physically ended up marring her hand and mental stability.
The moment my dad got home we'd scatter like cockroaches as she inevitably sent dad on a belt-whipping mission to help her regain some control. Sadly, I just became increasingly fearful of my dad and I am still somewhat fearful of him today. One time my dad, upon hearing that my Ex and I had decided not to spank our kids as part of raising them, told me to my face that if I didn't start whipping my first child, that he'd become, "just like those brats that come to my office." That was the first time I stood up to him, and I told him that I didn't want my own kid to be scared of me like I was of him. When my son reached the age of seven, he relented and told me that we were doing a good job with him.
My younger brother is eight years younger than me, and my sister is eleven years younger. I am an "expressive-expressive" personality, and so I wanted to be accepted and taken in as part of the pack, so to speak. That never happened with my older brothers no matter how hard I tried. I was always entertainment, but never taken seriously. I had my role as the peacemaker, and until I finally gave up entirely I tried to break free from that role. After a certain period of time you wise up and realize your brothers are total asses and you stop your endeavors of cohesiveness.
I had such high hopes that my next older brother Bob would suddenly like me. I actually had daydreams about it. On the first day if high school, I was expecting a break, a sudden acceptance of him, he was a senior, I was a freshman and I thought I had finally made it into his accepted world. On the first day of school he approached me, and I just knew that was going to be the moment when he said, "You know? You're not so bad, I'm happy we're together here now." Or something. He told me, "Listen, we're not going to be close, don't expect anything, and don't talk to me." I was devastated. I threw my focus on to my new little brother and sister believing that I would never treat them like they'd treated me.
When I was a kid, we were the quintessential "Mormon Family" from what everyone else could see. My mom had an immaculately clean home, everyone in the Ward knew this, and she took pride in it. It also drove her crazy due to the fact that my dad eventually became Bishop and that meant constant visitors to our house. To this day I carry around the ability to size up attempting an activity weighing its value against the possible mess it might make, and then typically deciding not to do it if it meant a prolonged mess, or if I couldn't control it very well.
This eventually led to my obsessive-compulsive personality that typically came rushing out when I was attempting tasks like art projects or painting walls. One time when I was about ten years old, I was trying to make a mobile for a scout project. It was the first time I realized that the concept of "perfection" has been injected into me as I literally shredded about two days worth of intricate work because it wouldn't hang perfectly balanced in an angry rage. I was berating myself tremendously, and realized in that moment that I really was taking on my own mom's rage.
The way I was attacking myself in that moment when I was ten with mangled pieces of a failed Scouting Project mobile at my feet would be captured perfectly in a film scene years later in American Beauty when the character Carolyn Burnham, played by Annette Bening, berated herself while leaning against some closed blinds after a failed day at selling an ugly house. Wow, talk about watching yourself and your mom being played right in front of your nose! Years later, I would watch Merryl Streep play Joe Pitt's mother in HBO's version of Angels in America and almost cry watching the similarities between Mrs. Pitt and my mom.
My mother was a tortured woman. She was pregnant at age fifteen and married my dad, who was nineteen and seeking a way to escape his Mormon mission. She had three kids by the time she was twenty-one. She dealt with mental illnesses, most likely healthy doses of Bi-polar Disorder and Manic Depression – heavy on the depression side, amongst others. I tested myself one time to see how much of her genetics was plaguing my failing marriage by taking the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – MMPI-2, and found that I got her mania, but not her depression. (It also reinforced my homosexuality as I topped that test marker with flying colors.)
She never sought out help her entire life, and avoided any form of possible cures, including health care professionals and correctly applied medications through physicians to help her manage her paranoiac delusions. All of her daughters-in-law became competition within two years of joining the family, she and my dad saw their kids as peers instead of children and treated us all that way, and she became an acid-tongued bitchy shrew under the guise of a smiling, mature sage. Towards the end of her life her poison-laden tactics were making me insane. After her death my father sent her funeral bill to his kids, and I was expected to pay my share of her funeral. It was presented to me as an "opportunity"; it was an opportunity I did not take.
My dad never once forced her to become healthy, but supported her in every single mentally-ill thing she said or did; it was obvious to me in later life that he'd do anything to maintain a relationship and continue getting laid, which was not that often it seemed. But he loved her. When my mom was upset and angry, everyone cow-towed to her. My dad misused his pharmaceutical license continually with her, and she was always on some sort of medication, she was addicted to many drugs.
There were times when my dad would shoot her up with something and she'd literally sleep for three days, my dad used the phrase, "put her down" in reference to those moments, like she was a horse. She rarely got up before noon, and when she did she was fragile and sad most of the time. Had my mom not had to deal with the church, she probably would have had a chance for a healthy life, but she had five kids that she doted on and cared for, and then died at the young age of sixty-four from polymyocitis. She was enamored with illnesses in general, and she finally contracted one that would kill her. I once asked my sister if she thought, like I do, that my mom used her illness to commit suicide, and we both agreed that she had.
My mom first discussed killing herself with me when I was about five years old, that was the age I first recall being fearful of it. When she desperately needed some attention, she'd bring up suicide with me again, knowing I would immediately freak out and rally to her side. This happened sporadically throughout my life until I was into my early married years. I believe she used that special technique only with me; my brothers received other forms of interaction with her, but not this message. I remember her confiding in me very specific details about her relationship with my dad, discussions a person would only have with their lover or partner. Therapists over the years have speculated that she did this because my father was simply never home in those early years when he was in Dental School; they called it the Lover-Syndrome. It wasn't sexual at all; it was that she discussed intimate details about her feelings with me inappropriately. She latched on to me as her confidante, and we did practically everything together.
One time when she was particularly distraught, she went and got my dad's pistol, walked through the house with it so I could see it, and I panicked. I followed her to the garage where she got into her huge brown car, set the gun on the seat beside her, started the car and then she sat staring ahead banging on the steering wheel. She was enraged, and I thought she might break her arms she was *pounding* on it so hard. I was standing in front of the car crying and screaming for her to stop, after a few minutes she put it in reverse and backed out and away down the street. I was sure that was the last time I'd see her; I sat there in the garage waiting for her to come home. Three hours later the garage door opened, I ran to her and she got out of the car. She had almost a catatonic look about her. I kept repeating that I was sorry, and just as she went into the house she looked at me, and with a stone-colored face shouted, "Sorry doesn't matter!"
It wasn't terrible all the time; my mother was also a wonderful woman under all of that. She raised me well, the best she could while dealing with an aloof, physically and emotionally distant husband whose financial misdeeds became family legend. When her illnesses weren't blacking out her true self, she could be witty, carefree and fun. She did care for me, and she wanted my overall happiness and success, I believe. We had the best clothes, the best cereal collection on the block (to compensate for the fact that she slept most days until noon due to her "health issues") and we were, for the most part, the Kool-Aid house. She thought about me much of the time, and that trait, when overloaded by her illnesses, became poisonous. I truly adored my mom, and so when things got really bad later in life, I was heartbroken, I never really saw her caring side much anymore.
I could spend hours on this subject, but why? The thing that became clear to me early on was that I had dreams and aspirations attached to me that I would challenge, and ultimately fight against to their dismay. But what I didn't know was that my parents would limit, and ultimately remove their love from me. This was the most shocking fact of all, that pushing back against their tight and clear direction for our well-being and professional careers as dentists, my father's chosen profession to escape being a farmer for life in a small town, would mean removal from their lives. My dad's dream of making us all clones worked quite well with three out of four brothers, each of my brothers all graduated from Oklahoma University as dentists. Here's my tally: Not a dentist – strike one. Not a faithful Mormon – strike two. Not a straight heterosexual eternally married man – strike three.
I graduated high school relatively short, eighteen years old and 5' 2"-ish tall. In high school I actually had to sit on phone books when driving my dad's Chevy Blazer around town so as not to be continually pulled over by cops inquiring if I was actually old enough to drive. Within six months of graduating high school, I had grown six inches, and by the time I returned from a Mormon mission Madrid, Spain, I was 6' and 138 pounds. In those shorter high school days, my parents tried to figure me out. I was so unlike my obviously straight brothers that I became an oddity, and I think my dad had no idea what to do with me.
One time after a threesome of black bullies in my high school decided I'd be their little, white punching bag, my parents hung a punching bag of my own in the garage and sent me to see a Mormon therapist. I looked at that punching bag and thoughts two things, "My dad has no idea who I am if he thinks I actually want to take on those guys!" Years later we did strike up some similarities in my love of literature, but I never figured out the move to send me to the moronic shrink. How could my mental fear of facing three scary guys who wanted to hurt me be somehow fixed by visiting an aging Mormon man with the discernment of pond scum? Perhaps they sensed way back when that I was gay and hoped I'd admit it? I have no idea.
I didn't really get basketball, Mormons favorite sport of all, it scared me to death for several reasons: I hated that pressure to perform and the guys were very cute and I couldn't show my attraction, even though the other guys at that age were in *high* attraction mode with the girls, demonstrating all their outwardly accepted sexual prowess. I was still somewhat confused and really never understood with clarity my homosexuality until I was nineteen years old just before my mission. But I did have some athletic skill, I was in city soccer leagues for years, and that sport suited me quite well. I never scored once, but that sport was a good one for me, and probably why I still love a man with nice, hairy, muscular legs.
I was relatively happy until the pressure started and it got darker and darker until it felt like I was living under a cloud of responsibility and angst and unhappiness. I would say that my first 11 years were pretty fun. After that, it just went downhill. As it got darker I learned to make it seem like it was OK. I polished the routine; I told others I was happy©. In retrospect, I've never been so unhappy in my life. But when you're in it, born and raised in it, you don't know any differently.
Before I realized I was different I really felt just like Nephi, a "prophet" in the Book of Mormon. I totally identified with Nephi, that or maybe I just wanted to kiss Nephi. Lemme tell ya, the graphic images embedded into the Book of Mormon made those men so very enticing as I got older. Hugely muscled and just…well…sexy. Talk about a book full of studs! Even Abinidi (pronounced uh-bin-nih-die, accent on the "die") was freakin' huge and in the best gym-rat shape you've ever *seen* when he was about to be slain for being a super-prophet-dude. Years later my Ex would pronounce it Ah-bin-ah-dee (accent on the "ah"), which irritated me at first and now makes me laugh my ass off, why would a Hebrew name be pronounced Ah-bin-nih-die (accent on the die)? I believed in the church wholehearted, "beyond the shadow of a doubt", if you will. Wow, that phrase makes me want to vomit now. With "every fiber of my being".
Once I had my driver's license, I found a way to escape my pain at home. I drove to friend's houses, made close friends with all their parents, and did my best to avoid my own room. I worked from the age of fourteen, and I've never really been without a job since. I did things at other people's houses that I could never do at mine, like wiring up my friend's house and flying Kermit the Frog, buying fireworks and blowing up everything in sight with another friend (which resulted in a visit by the City of Aurora's Fire Department Investigation Unit), and other things that passed the time while my mom slept her way out of countless depressions and my father spent as much time away from us as he could with church and dental work, it seemed. And when he was home, he was quiet and removed.
Mormonism was a fixed aspect of my childhood. It shaped the music I listened to, the food I ate, what I drank, what I was exposed to, and the level of intelligent conversation. Due to the high activity level, Mormons pretty much stick together. It is discouraged to date outside the church, and most all of your friends are of the same pattern as you, like a cookie cutter. One cannot grow up a Mormon kid without being severely sheltered from meaningful dialogue and remaining in a state of habitual innocence. I never heard opposing views in my house; it was always the same message, always the same framed topics, from politics to religion, to the entire world.
As I got older, I became aware of how truly ignorant I was, but I didn't blame this on the church. This created a drive in me to understand much more than I knew. I am *nothing* like the Mormon Church now. And I think I was nothing like the Mormon Church when I was struggling in it as a member. It was my entire being before; it was how I identified myself first and foremost. My entire world view was that of how everything else fit into or around the church's doctrines and history. I could put any historical event into its proper place within the gospel structure. There was an answer for everything; it was entirely beautiful, and I really believed that it would *all* fit nicely into my belief structure.
Why wouldn't it?

As a witness to this story, it explains so much about my friend… as I heal from the wounds of my life experiences, I have come to embrace that the church does offer many good things. I do not condemn it; however, it is not for me and does not typify the God I have come to know. I struggle to this day to find the church that is right for me. Until then, I take ALL my life experiences and hold the goodness close to my heart.

I completely relate to this! I just ignored everything that did not fit in with the mormon view as well and as the cognitive dissonance would pop up here and there I would just cling to it more. It is like the less you feel a true spiritual connection with God/a Higher Power, the more you cling to 'religion'.
This is beautiful and poignantly written, must read the other entries. Thanks for sharing Etienne!

My mom was mentally ill and overwhelmed. Since her death a few years ago, I have learned to separate her mental illness from her person. Although while it was happening, and while she was alive, that was impossible for me to do. Now I can, and I have experienced some things to help me cope with that. I found a way to "kill" her mental illness (in a future chapter) and it's allowed me some peace. That and leaving the church, and finding my partner.
It took me years and a good therapist to realize the impact of her suicidal threats. I was a person driven by fear, it worked quite well on me, thus I was able to stay trapped in so many things for such a long time.
Thanks for your understanding comments.

That just breaks my heart. The cruelty of threatening suicide to an innocent five year old, and thereafter. The fear of losing your mother as a child is absolutely terrifying, I am so sorry you had to go through that. It sounds like you're truly in a place of forgiveness and understanding, it just breaks my heart into pieces imagining any five year old threatened by his own mother to leave him. So sad!

I have loved reading this story. I can relate to so many of these feelings. It is so hard to move away from the church when you honestly believe it is the true church but just don't subscribe to all the beliefs. I grew up in Utah and for 35 years lived the Gospel. not perfectly, but good enough to hold a recommend. and then, I was done, I cheated on my husband, I sent my oldest kids off to Boarding school in the south so they could learn about the "real" world and not what the Utah Mormon education system was teaching them. (I wanted them to find their own truth.) I remarried and moved my family here to SOuthern CAL. Just when I thought I should repent for my sins(and they were many), and return to the fold….
I missed the closeness of the gospel and the friends you have by being there. Anyway, the week I went to church for the first time in years was the week I received in the mail the letter from the church asking me for money to support their stance on FAMILIES. That was Prop 8. I flipped my lid and at that moment knew I could never, in my right mind, "Stand for Truth" again.
I painted my car with 'NO on eight', I proudly drove past my ward members on the street picketing for 'yes on 8′. I even took the kids to Trunk or treating, nights before the election, and I proudly drove that painted car and parked in the parking lot, where I sat in the back of it and passed out candy to all the little ones. It was liberating!
There are plenty of things I disagree with besides prop eight that keep me from going back. I just don't have it in me to keep up with game anymore. I don't want to end up like the mom in this story. I feel there is WAY too much pressure to be something that is impossible to be.
Sorry for the long post. I just wanted you to know, that I may not be gay, though I have slept with a few woman in my time, I do know how it feels to "Fall into life." I am doing it now. I can't wait for Chapter 5.

Review decision date: February 2014
Review decision:
Following consultation with stakeholders this guideline has now been placed on the static list.
Next review date: TBC
The NICE guideline on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) covers:
- the care people with OCD or BDD can expect to receive from their GP or other healthcare professional
- what treatments may be offered, including psychological therapies and medication
- the services that may help with OCD or BDD, including specialist mental health services
- how families and carers may be able to support people with OCD and BDD, and how they can get support for themselves.
This guideline was previously called obsessive-compulsive disorder: core interventions in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder.
Your responsibility
The recommendations in this guideline represent the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, professionals are expected to take this guideline fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients or service users. The application of the recommendations in this guideline is not mandatory and the guideline does not override the responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian.
Local commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to enable the guideline to be applied when individual health professionals and their patients or service users wish to use it. They should do so in the context of local and national priorities for funding and developing services, and in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities. Nothing in this guideline should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.

Grant Details

|Primary Investigator:
|Audrain, Janet
|University Of Pennsylvania
|Project Title:
|Longitudinal Patterns and Predictors of Smoking Behavior
|Fiscal Year:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While adolescent smoking rates have declined since the late 1990's, cigarette smoking among young adults (18-22) is an emerging problem. The prevalence of cigarette smoking is one of the highest in this age group and only 22% of young adults who have ever smoked regularly have quit. Despite the public health significance of smoking among young adults, our understanding of the determinants of smoking patterns and transitions in this group is very limited. In order to develop well-informed smoking prevention and treatment programs for young adults, a much more comprehensive understanding of the natural history and determinants of smoking in this population are needed. We propose to address this gap by following our established cohort of about 1,000 adolescents (initiated at age 14 years) into young adulthood (to age 22). Comprehensive data on the socio-environmental and psychological influences on smoking behavior during the adolescent phase (age 14 to age 18) will be supplemented with data collected as these individuals make the transition to young adulthood (age 18 to age 22). Specific phenotypes of interest include longitudinal patterns (trajectories) of smoking, rates of progression to regular smoking and nicotine dependence, and smoking persistence. The primary aims of the proposed study are to empirically identify the longitudinal patterns of smoking behavior (smoking trajectories) from adolescence (age 14) to young adulthood (age 22), to characterize the smoking trajectories by socio-environmental and psychological determinants, and to test mechanisms by which these determinants impact on smoking behavior. This will be one of the first studies to capture smoking transitions from adolescence to young adulthood and to evaluate smoking and its determinants in a longitudinal fashion. Results from this study can be used to inform the timing, level, type, and specific target of smoking interventions.

In the event that you've asked the Global Test Market trick question, I can't generally reprimand you. Numerous individuals get so amped up for speedy income sans work and study destinations are made thus. Is this truly a honest to goodness salary opportunity that truly pays you to take overviews? I for one can't suggest it for somebody that is hoping to make some not too bad pay and permit me to clarify why I feel along these lines. Really, from a real Internet advertiser's viewpoint, I can give you an entire group of reasons why I believe it's only a major exercise in futility and you can make a great deal additionally doing different things on the web.
How It Works
1000 points= $50… .sounds great, isn't that so? All things considered, um…
You can join at Global Test Market for nothing. It's very basic. You simply visit the site and there is a structure with all your contact information and everything else. The thought is once you join, you will get reviews to finish for focuses from time to time. There have been a considerable measure of study website began with in the most recent two years and this has gotten to be one of the more grounded and set up online review destinations out there. A few individuals have been individuals for a considerable length of time and a few individuals are simply finding out about it at this moment. This has a tendency to draw in many individuals why should looking make simple speedy cash and as a rule are these individuals disillusioned and there are a ton of reasons why. I can't generally point the finger at you in case you're disappointed with any sort of online review website in light of the fact that typically it appears a ton superior to anything it truly is. I'll give you my own conclusions and reasons why I presumably won't invest that much energy in doing reviews with Global Test Market or truly whatever other overview site out there.
You Most Likely Won't Earn A Lot
Whether it's Global Test Market or some other sort of huge study site, simply consider it. Do you figure they can truly pay you a predictable salary when thousands and a large number of different individuals are needing to profit as well? Obviously not. They are going to structure the payout in an extremely restricted way, else they would go belly up. You need to gain around 1000 focuses to make $50. Every review fluctuates in point esteem and could be 35 focuses or it could be 50 focuses. It all truly depends. Likewise, it's not care for your inbox will be totally overflowed with numerous messages for you to do. We're talking only a couple of now and again and after that on top of this, it could take a long time to finish only 1 review.
Taking exhausting online studies to profit doesn't even COMPETE with the offshoot promoting
The prerequisite for you to really get paid is 1000 focuses as should be obvious a case above and you will be a will to money a $50. In any case, you will see as you come in this Global Test Market audit, there is a showcasing and beneficial methodology that overview destinations like to use by putting this edge simply out of scope for a great many people. The fact of the matter is a great many people will take a couple reviews, get exhausted, and quit. as I would see it, the dominant part of individuals won't stick around and achieve that 1000 point level and on the off chance that they do it just be similar to once perhaps even twice. You must do anywhere in the range of 20 to 30 overviews just to meet that 1000 focuses and that is in case you're sufficiently fortunate to pass every one of the studies, and you will find that what I mean tad bit later in this survey.
Figure out How To Make Legit Money From Home Here…
Extremely Time-Consuming
Simply doing studies from a site like Global Test Market is not productive work. Genuinely. You're going to invest a decent measure of energy noting inquiries. This is the trap. It relies on upon the answers you pick. I trust a few answers lead to a larger number of inquiries than others. I did a few reviews where I finished the poll inside of 10 inquiries, and after that I took a comparative overview and answer tad bit distinctive and it took me to just about 50 inquiries or so it appeared like. So I think it depends what sort of answers you give and you may need to take extra inquiries that continue waiting endlessly. One time I recollect that I spent right around an hour taking only one overview. I've crunched the numbers before with other study opportunities and in the event that I got a reliable stream I ascertained it would be around one dollar for every hour. It's fair exceptionally tedious and something you can't leave your place of employment over.
The "Screen Out" Problem You'll Probably Face
This is one of the principle reasons why I can't prescribe the Global Test Market. This issue is going to cost you a considerable measure of time and migraines and it is an extremely basic issue among a large number of the individuals that I can see giving input in distinctive gatherings. I've been stating this for quite a while, and it's that taking these online studies is exceptionally baffling in view of this screen out procedure. Before you take a large portion of the overviews, there is generally an arrangement of screening inquiries that sift through the sort of demographic they need replying. You can be investing the same energy building beneficial wage streams from home.
So as it were, it is a pre-overview and you don't get paid for it. This alone can take up to 5 to 10 min. of your time and on the off chance that you don't answer the inquiries the way they need you to, you can be screened out and not have the capacity to take the overview. This is an immense dissatisfaction for me and makes it exceptionally hard to ever achieve the payout limit. That is the reason this organization spares so much cash. It's a considerable measure simpler to keep a great many individuals directly underneath the payout edge by constantly screening them out with simply diverse pockets of individuals going through the line.
Sets aside A Long Time To Receive Payment
Possibly this is the reason numerous individuals ask the entire Global Test Market trick question. There have been various protests about the protracted time it takes for you to get paid. A few individuals are stating it takes anywhere in the range of 4 to 6 weeks, and a few individuals say it has taken them a couple of months. It's an extremely slow salary opportunity and you unquestionably won't get rich. However, of course you presumably realized that in any case. In any case, my point is that the vast majority do join in light of the fact that they need to profit and they need to get paid. It's extremely baffling on the off chance that you need to hold up weeks or even months to get paid in any sort of business or wage opportunity out there, not only this one. Be that as it may, once more, subsequent to exploring different surveys, I can see many comments of individuals saying it just takes much too long to get paid.
So does Global Test Market trick individuals? No, it's unquestionably not a trick and it is one of the really honest to goodness overview locales out there. It has a really decent notoriety and many individuals acknowledge and appreciate being individuals from the project. By and by I wouldn't squander my time doing real reviews, yet rather alluding individuals as a subsidiary to the study locales. That is the manner by which you're truly profit: by turning into an associate advertiser and driving loads of movement to your connection so you can many individuals joined under you that are dynamic. Yet, that is an entire other story. You simply don't profit doing real studies. Is exceptionally tedious, scarcely pays anything, it's extremely hard to ever achieve that payout limit. I simply need to

Air Pollution as a Climate Forcing: A Workshop
Day 4 Presentations
Understanding the Effects of Climate-relevant Components of the Air Pollution Mixture — The Carbon Particle Fraction
Daniel S. Greenbaum
Health Effects Institute, Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, MA, U.S.A.
You may download a MS PowerPoint version (780 MB) of this presentation.
Air pollution is a complex mixture of gases and aerosol particles, with many of the components having been shown to cause or contribute to respiratory, cardiac, neurotoxic, and other health effects. Recent global climate change research (Hansen 2001) has found that these various components of air pollution also have varying effects on global climate. This paper introduces two sessions to (a) review the state of current knowledge of the health effects of different components of particulate matter, and of key gases, and (b) describe efforts to estimate the magnitude of public health impacts of these pollutants in developing countries, and on a global scale.
Among the air pollutants, public health attention has focussed in the last decade on the health effects of fine particles (PM2.5). A substantial body of short term epidemiology, and two major cohort studies, have found consistent relationships between exposure to PM and premature mortality. Within the particle mixture, carbon soot particles, which are emitted primarily from on- and off-road mobile sources of pollution and the burning of wood and other biomass, have been associated with increased morbidity (e.g. hospitalization) and premature mortality from cardiopulmonary disease and cancer. The mechanism by which these carbon particles might cause these effects include direct effects of the carbon particles themselves (for example in the form of ultrafine particles), as well as as carriers of other toxic components (for example metals and organic chemicals such as PAHs) into the deep lung. This paper reviews the data for these health effects to date, and identifies areas needing continuing research.

Hospice care is for the whole person
Family is at the heart of what launched Dr. Mary Ruth Lopez into the medical profession, and has guided her practice in the Eastern Panhandle for the last eight years.
Growing up in the Philippines, she watched both her father and grandfather practice medicine, a path she followed by attending the University of Santo Tomas and earning her degree. She came to the U.S. in the 1960s, started her own family and opened a family practice in Martinsburg after practicing in Maryland.
As a family practitioner, Dr. Lopez sees patients of all ages. On any given day, a young person may visit her office for a yearly checkup. Her next patient could very well be a nursing home patient. Dr. Lopez says her job is not as simple as looking at a patient's physical ailments. She looks at the person as a whole, working to find the connection between the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual aspects of a person to determine their overall well-being.
To achieve this holistic approach, Dr. Lopez works with those closest to her patients. She often spends time talking with families before important healthcare decisions are made. Family concerns can greatly influence a person's health, and impact a patient's healthcare decisions as well. Finding out about a patient from their family can allow a physician to gain valuable insight about the proper action to take.
Dr. Lopez also relies on other healthcare professionals when treating her patients. Getting information from the nurses and staff at nursing homes and assisted living facilities is vital when deciding on the best course of action. If a patient is struggling with a specific injury or disease, Dr. Lopez may look to specialists. That includes not only her fellow physicians, but other healthcare groups like home health care agencies and hospices. Organizations like these bring specialized knowledge and extra resources for patients and families.
That is one of the things she looks to with Hospice of the Panhandle. Utilizing the same holistic approach, the hospice team supports the patients and families physically, emotionally and spiritually, wherever they may be. Dr. Lopez has encountered some professionals, particularly in nursing home and hospital settings, who believe that adding hospice services might be redundant. Dr. Lopez sees the additional care as beneficial because hospice staff are trained to specifically manage the issues associated with the end of life. Staff members in the facility then are able to treat the patient's other conditions and spend more time with other patients.
The benefit goes beyond patient care. Dr. Lopez said she previously referred a patient to hospice who had suffered from frequent infections that had become resistant to medication. After a discussion with the family, the patient was admitted. The biggest benefit that the patient received was pain management and comfort care, but what left Dr. Lopez equally impressed was how the patient's daughter learned how to manage her mom's disease at home. The daughter felt very supported; in fact, she continued to see the bereavement team at hospice after the patient's death.
A 2007 study in "Health Education Research" found that nearly 80 percent of health education is focused on the physical aspects of healthcare. Dr. Lopez says physicians are trained to focus on curing a patient's ills, even when the patient faces an increasingly grim prognosis. Physicians and family members alike may find it difficult to refer a patient to a specialist or an organization like hospice because there is a sense that they have given up on treatment. Dr. Lopez says the skill of learning when to "let go" and help patients change their goals is one she's had to strive for as she continues to treat the patients and families who rely on her.

Let me tell you the most important thing first. I don't really like basketball that much and if you are anything like me then I can tell you this: Don't ignore this anime just because you are not a fan of basketball!
The story basically involves new students entering Seirin High to be a part of the basketball team. Out of these students the most important ones are Kagami Taiga & Kuroko Tetsuya who happen to be the main characters. They are completely different but they work together along with the team to achieve their goals. There's a lot of comedy along the way too. Kuroko & 5 other players were actually a part of a team which were given the title "The Generation of Miracles" in middle school and they become his opponents after he joins Seirin.
The matches between Kuroko's current team and the teams of his old mates are all completely different from each other and at the same time each one of those matches is incredible to watch!
The skills of all the players will make you go "Woah!" without a doubt.
Not the best art but still good. I really liked the OP's and ED's. I feel that they were really good. The OST is good too.
The characters are amazing, especially Kuroko! The way they play basketball as a team, the funny moments they are involved in & even the supporting characters from other teams play a crucial role and it's just so wonderful to watch them.
Lots of fun and all the episodes keep you entertained whether they're playing basketball or not.
A very good series overall.
So true! I don't really like basketball either, but nevertheless this anime is worth-watching!
I was wondering if it's worth watching it, but after I had seen the first episode I wasn't and still am not able to stop with it :)

On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion by Mary Anne Warren – from Biomedical Ethics. 4th ed. T.A. Mappes and D. DeGrazia, eds. New York: McGraw-Hill, Inc. 1996, pp. 434-440.
"The question which we must answer in order to produce a satisfactory solution to the problem of the moral status of abortion is this: How are we to define the moral community, the set of beings with full and equal moral rights, such that we can decide whether a human fetus is a member of this community or not? What sort of entity, exactly, has the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Jefferson attributed these rights to all men, and it may or may not be fair to suggest that he intended to attribute them only to men. Perhaps he ought to have attributed them to all human beings. If so, then we arrive, first, at [John] Noonan's problem of defining what makes a being human, and, second, at the equally vital question which Noonan does not consider, namely, What reason is there for identifying the moral community with the set of all human beings, in whatever way we have chosen to define that term?"

Miami jumped out on top, leading 30-27 at the end of the first quarter. The Owls led at half, 49-46, but, after stretching the lead to 65-60 at the end of the third quarter, they were unable to stop Miami in the fourth.

TUCSON - Arizona basketball has never been kind to San Diego State, often taking the best players out of San Diego and getting the best of the Aztecs for 20 wins in 26 meetings entering Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, the No. 23 Wildcats got the Aztecs' best, ending a 22-game home winning streak at McKale Center. San Diego State won 61-57 by holding UA to 33 percent shooting. It was a ranked UA team's first home loss to an unranked team since a Jan. 5, 2008, defeat to Oregon.
The Aztecs, perhaps unjustly unranked at 6-1 with a loss to No. 9 Baylor, lost four starters from last season and dressed only nine players but jumped out to leads of 16-2 and 21-4 with guard Chase Tapley scoring 10 of the first 19 and the Aztecs making their first four 3-pointers. The Aztecs made 8 of 12 3-pointers in the game, including its only two field goals in the game's last 11 minutes.
"Point blank, period, we just weren't ready," said UA senior forward Jesse Perry, who had nine points and 11 rebounds. "We came out real laid-back, lazy."
The depth of UA's hole was unfamiliar, but the Wildcats had made each of their previous three home games difficult with lackluster first halves. This time, the Wildcats did well to be trailing only 31-29 at halftime with their defense once again getting them back in the game to offset a wayward offense.
"We hit them in the mouth early," said Tapley, who scored 17 points. "But like all good teams, they came back and hit shots and forced us to turn the ball over. Our goal is to win the first five minutes of each half."
San Diego State's turnovers helped UA (4-2) chip away at the lead until senior forward Solomon Hill had a scoring surge late in the first half. It helped UA go into intermission on a 15-2 run that left UA coach Sean Miller with a "very good feeling" at halftime.
It was no different than when UA led Valparaiso by only two at halftime or when it had trailed Duquesne by two or Ball State by nine at halftime. Unlike those teams, the Aztecs came out of halftime strong, taking it to UA's' defense early with drives, which the Wildcats had fallen victim to in Friday's loss to Mississippi State in New York.
"Once you go out there like that and you're down (21-4) and then you've got to make that run to get all the way back, you've basically killed all your energy," Perry said. "After halftime, we came out kind of slow."
For the past 80 minutes of play, UA has never held a lead. There were not as many chances on Wednesday night as there were against Mississippi State on Friday. The Aztecs proved comfortable at McKale, where they had won two NCAA Tournament games last year to reach the Sweet 16, with 19 points in less than six second-half minutes to take a 54-41 lead with 11:20 to play on a Tim Shelton follow.
Shelton was an important figure defensively all night, drawing six UA offensive fouls after taking four charges in the Aztecs' previous game against Long Beach State.
San Diego State opened the door for a Wildcats rally, failing to score on its next 10 possessions, but UA continued to have trouble finding its scoring threats. It did not help that Hill left with his fourth foul five minutes into the second half. After falling into that 54-41 hole, the Wildcats never got closer than six until the final seconds.
"It's hard for a team to make two big runs in a game," UA freshman guard Nick Johnson said.
But the Aztecs did, following the first half's 21-4 start with a 23-12 start to the second half. San Diego State has role players stepping up from last year's 34-win team like UA, in a similar transition, must have happen this season.
UA's veterans - Hill, Perry and Kyle Fogg - went 8-for-25 from the field, with Hill and Perry getting lured into taking 10 3s (making two) against the packed-in Aztecs defense. Freshman Nick Johnson was the only Wildcats player to have success offensively, making 4 of 7 shots for 10 points while adding seven rebounds and three steals.
Freshman Josiah Turner played his best game, scoring 10 points without making a turnover in 26 minutes. Turner began the season as UA's starting point guard and touted as a potential first-round pick but wound up benched before the season's opening three-game homestand was over.
"It made me realize what was going on, that coach Sean Miller don't play around," Turner said of not playing against Ball State in the third game.
UA was just two games removed from making 14 threes against St. John's in New York but went 5 for 26 on threes on Wednesday with only Johnson (two for four) being accurate. The Wildcats were poor enough offensively to allow the Aztecs to get away with missing 10 of their 15 free throw tries.
"The guys we have this year can be just as good as the guys we had last year," Aztecs guard James Rahon said. "I think we are underrated and hopefully the rest of the country will take note and follow us now."
UA cut the Aztecs' lead to 57-51 with 3:41 to play on a Johnson 3-pointer, but he double-dribbled on the next trip and Hill threw away a pass after that. That let Tapley seal the end of the McKale streak with one last 3.
"Home-court streak is everything," Miller said. "Winning at home in college basketball usually means you have a heck of a season.
"Now our objective is to start up a new streak."
Miller said he will consider starting lineup changes. He did not specify but that could involve center, where Kyryl Natyazhko has not had an impact, or point guard, where Turner is re-emerging over Jordin Mayes.
The Wildcats mostly used a nine-man rotation, although Brendon Lavender was called upon for a two second-half minutes. Guard Kevin Parrom still is part of that rotation, but he is still working his way back into form after missing two months for a gunshot wound in his leg.
Freshman Sidiki Johnson, on indefinite suspension for a team rule violation, was believed to be in New York on Wednesday night, but Miller expects that he will be in Tucson this weekend.
"We have an agreement and if he meets the agreement, he could potentially be reinstated and he could also be dismissed," Miller said.
Asked if he is optimistic that Johnson would meet the requirements for reinstatement, Miller bluntly said, "No." He said he expects a resolution to Johnson's fate in the next two weeks.

Sign the "Integrity and Unity" Statement Today
As many of you are aware, some UM pastors are openly forsaking the vows they made to practice their ministry according to the church's teaching regarding same-sex ceremonies. Even though The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church clearly forbids pastors to preside at such services, many of them have disregarded our church law. A few of our church's bishops have supported and even encouraged these acts of defiance.
The website www.methodistcrossroads.org is now live. The site contains a statement entitled "Integrity and Unity" that was adopted at a recent gathering of clergy and laity in Atlanta. The statement calls upon our bishops to uphold our Book of Discipline and demands integrity of one another and all United Methodist pastors for the sake of unity and biblical integrity. The statement will be delivered to the Council of Bishops during its fall meeting the first week of November.
Pastors John & Skip have endorsed this statement, and they encourage you to do so as well. You can find the statement and background information about the current crisis confronting the church at www.methodistcrossroads.org. Please visit the site as soon as possible to add your name to the statement, and then pass it along to others so they can add their names as well.
