Anxiety, fear, worry, and stress are familiar words in our day, and familiar experiences to many. More and more we're hearing of an extreme form of anxiety referred to as a "panic attack."
What was once a rare and extreme example of anxiety has become frighteningly common in our society. Panic attacks are usually related to an unfounded fear—one so overwhelming and so overpowering that it clutches a person's heart, makes it beat faster, produces chills or perspiration, and the person feels completely unable to cope with the moment.
Anxiety is, at its core, an inappropriate response in light of the circumstances. It's very different from the cares and concerns in life that cause people to attend to business in a responsible way. Stress and pressure are not the enemies. In fact, often they're good things, strengthening us to accomplish the challenges God sets before us in life.
The apostle Paul wrote that apart from the unrelenting external pressure he had to face, such as persecution, hardship, and imprisonment, he also had the daily internal pressure "of concern for all the churches" (2 Corinthians 11:28). In spite of that, he had room in his heart to feel the anxiety of others, for he went on to write, "Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?" (2 Corinthians 11:29). He wouldn't have had it any other way, though.
In fact, that kind of response to pressure is what Paul looked for in those who would serve with him. Note how he commended Timothy to the Philippian church: "I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare" (Philippians 2:20; cf. 1 Corinthians 4:17). Anyone who knows and loves Jesus Christ is capable of handling pressure like that.
The wrong way to handle the stresses of life is to worry about them. Jesus Himself said three times, "Do not be anxious" (Matthew 6:25, 31, 34). Paul later reiterated, "Be anxious for nothing" (Philippians 4:6). Worry at any time is a sin because it violates the clear commands of Scripture.
We allow our daily concerns to turn into worry—and therefore sin—when our thoughts become focused on changing the future instead of doing our best to handle our present circumstances.
Such thoughts are unproductive. They end up controlling us—though it should be the other way around—and cause us to neglect other responsibilities and relationships. That brings on legitimate feelings of guilt. If we don't deal with those feelings in a productive manner by getting back on track with our duties in life, we'll lose hope instead of finding answers. Anxiety, left unresolved, can debilitate one's mind and body—and even lead to panic attacks.
I am particularly concerned about the solutions some Christians offer to the problem of anxiety. A survey of the books put out on the topic by evangelical publishing houses is telling. Most are formulaic, anecdotal, or psychological in orientation. They contain a lot of nice stories, but not many references to Scripture. And when Scripture is employed, it is often incidental and without regard for its context. That kind of lip service to God's Word turns rich, biblical truth into shallow incantations. "If you do this and this, then God must do that."
To tackle anxiety in a biblical fashion, first we need to know the primary Scripture passages on the topic. Then we need to consider those passages in their context—not merely cite and recite them unthinkingly or use them as props for a nice story or a suggested behavior-modifying technique. As a person "thinks within himself, so he is" (Proverbs 23:7).
We need to shatter modern misconceptions and realign our thinking on anxiety with what God says about it in His Word, and why. Only then will we be able to apply His precious Word to our hearts. We won't just know we're not to worry; we'll have confidence and success in doing something about it.
And we can be aggressive in our approach. I'm calling this series Attacking Anxiety because I want you to know you can attack this crippling foe and win. Even if you've struggled with anxiety for years, I want to give you the encouragement you need to get back into battle.

I have dealt with panic attacks for a good portion of my life. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that I have been able to find freedom. I was introduced to the Steps to Freedom in Christ by Neil T. Anderson. I've been a believer for several years, but have realized that I lost some freedom through disobedience after coming to know the Lord. Also, since April, I have been consistently in God's Word everyday. I've noticed that I don't sit around worrying and thinking about things like I used to. I had a strong fear of dying which I think was due to fear of judgment. Also, I wasn't trusting God with my very life. I gave up that to God because I wasn't in control of those things anyway. If I had any advice for people dealing with panic attacks and anxiety, it would be to take stock of their relationship with God and if they have one. I would also say they need to stay in God's Word consistently EVERY day. God isn't going to punish someone if they skip a day, but if you want to live in freedom, it is to your advantage not to. God's Word is living and active. It is also important to not only read and hear what God says, but do it. I appreciate your blog post on this topic.
Amanda, I just read your story regarding your anxiety. The first time I had a panic attack, It came out of nowhere. I was driving,I was calm and in one second it hit me. No thoughts provoked it. It was simply there all of a sudden over nothing. These continued on and off for over twenty five years. What can I call it then?. Fear had been something I had since birth according to my mother. Is it a spiritual or sinful condition?. This has effected my attempts in growth spiritually. I do understand what is important, It is that I must be far more diligent in regular daily study of His word both in the morning and evening. My prayer to Christ is that He will grant me that ability as I cooperate. I am crying writing this because it has been a plague that has made it difficult to press forward. Yet, press on I will do with the hope that God will grant me ability to carry it out. My assurance has always been weak if not absent. I cannot run from God. My faith is that strong,yet, I find myself behind in my growth.
Thank you for this post, Dr. MacArthur. I have dealt with panic attacks very infrequently during my life, but since a health issue started about a year ago, I started getting them fairly regularly with very little prompting. I haven't had a full-blown panic attack in a while, but I get anxiety attacks, which are less pronounced but longer-lasting. Sometimes my heart races but usually it's just tightness in my chest. I've been to see a Christian counselor, which has helped. But I am very much looking forward to reading the rest of your series.
I too have been dealing with fear griping me. Usually it starts with some issue, and grows into a log" feeling in my stomach. Then I am consumed with the thoughts of the issue, the people or how it could turn out. usually I cant't stop thinking or dreaming about it. It is exhausting! But lately with increased bible study, Grace To You sermons , other Biblical resources, and prayer, I have been able to bear it. Also the scripture, 2 Cor. 10:3-6 has helped me see that my weapons are not carnal but spiritual. I just need to know how to use them! I am looking forward to learning more, thank you for your love and concern for us.
Greg, I think for some people it is a spiritual condition. Most of the time when you go to the doctor, they do an exam and get your history and if nothing is off, they give you medication. There is a spiritual part of us too that most doctors or counselors consider. Some people do have a physical condition that mimics panic. I have also had some low blood sugar. I guess the best thing would be to rule out health conditions and also evaluate your relationship with God. Have you taken part in pornography, reading horoscopes, etc. Are there any sins that you have not confessed to the Lord? There are often layers to this. There are often wrong beliefs and thoughts that need to be held up to the truth of God's Word. What is the truth? What does God say about this? He says not to worry about our life. The Bible says that the Lord will guide believers into all truth and that the Lord is the Spirit of truth. You could pray a simple prayer: Holy Spirit of truth, guide me into all truth. Show me anything that I am overlooking and show me anything that was against you that I may be able to agree with you that it is sin. Maybe there was something from your childhood that brought about some fear. I don't know. God does. He knows exactly why and what. Don't be afraid to ask Him. He is all wise and He is more than able to help those who are dealing with panic and anxiety. There is an attitude in this time that counselors and physicians have more knowledge than God in these issues. Hello! God made us. There are lots of answers in His Word. I was taught that when Adam and Eve sinned, they made coverings for themselves (excuses), then they blamed each other and the devil, then they hid in fear. You can pretty much bank on if you are making excuses, blaming, or hiding there is some sin involved. For them, fear was the result of their sin. Do you see that? The fear was just a symptom and a consequence. It probably isn't sin that causes all panic attacks, but if you have them, it's always a good idea to just see. It would only benefit your relationship with God.
The first panic attack I had was when I was 18 and just walking into a room and out of no where, for no known reason, I had one. Several people in my family have had them. I was not a Christian then. Now since I have been a Christian I would say they have been triggered by worry and maybe disobedience and the Lord using them to chasten me. I went thru a several month period where I had them basically all day long everyday. A former pastors wife had went thru a similar situation and felt the Lord was showing her she wasn't spending enough time in His word. My attacks could have been from all the worry and fear of moving across the country and my affection/attention wasn't on the Lord as much as the "new" house and all the details.
1 Cor. 7:32 a But I would have you without carefulness (anxiety).
1 Peter 5:7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Anxiety ages us quickly... and ills us faster than someone gives us ills or colds..
Greg and Amanda and to all here in Christ,
I pray that God's Grace and Peace fill your hearts and mind. I just recovered from panic attacks, agoraphobia and deep depression that eventually lead me to alcoholism because my doctor prescribed and over medicated me with so many drugs. I had no idea that I was going to have the rare reaction of becoming an alcoholic from anti depressants and barbiturates . I was not with the Lord while suffering this and so turning for medical and psychological answers only compounded my problem. I almost did not make it out alive. But by God's grace and saving power He delivered me when I finally realized all had abandoned me except for His love. His Word and His Grace have sustained me. Daily intake of scripture and prayer and total reliance upon His strenghth is what saved my life. A passage that comes to mind that I recall often is:
Philippians 3:12-16
Pressing Toward the Goal
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
We are all here by God's grace and He has a plan for our lives , now it is up to us to press towards that plan through The working power of His Spirit as we breathed in His Word and breathe out His love and what He is manifesting in our hearts to the world and utimately give Him the maximum glory.

Research Summary
In the brains of mammals, birds and invertebrates, the sensory world is organized into regular neuronal arrays or maps. Common examples are the map of body surface in somatosensory cortex (the so called "homunculus") and the representation of oriented bars or edges in visual cortex.
We are interested in understanding how genes ('nature') and the environment ('nurture') interact to guide the development of neuronal maps. Our research focuses on development of the visual and somatosensory systems. We employ a broad range of experimental techniques, including neuroanatomy, molecular biology and biochemistry, in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology as well as optical imaging.
This array of approaches allows us to examine neural circuit development from many perspectives, and provides synergistic impetus to our exploration of the cellular and molecular mechanisms for sensory map development.

My best friend at college and I like to play around with giving pictures captions; we've done entire collages on different themes (for example, I did one where all the captions had to do with tea). Well, I've seen threads on other message boards where people post pictures and everybody tries to come up with the funniest captions for them, and that gave me the idea to start a tea-themed one here. If you've never seen a thread like this, all you do is either suggest a caption for a picture that somebody else has posted, or post a new picture and give it a caption, or both. Like such...
"What?? This is *only* my sixth cup of gingerbread tea this morning..."
So, anybody wanna play?

CUBRID Q&A Event
Ask questions and help
other members find answers.
Greatings to everyone!
We are very glad to announce one more very interesting event called CUBRID Q&A which will help you and other members of our community find answers to your questions.
Here is the idea. We have just created a new Q&A site for CUBRID project, and we want all our community members to participate in this event and contribute to the project by helping us populate the site with relevant questions and precise answers for them.
Thus we want to increase the number of good quality contents on our site so that new CUBRID users could quickly and easily find right solutions for their needs.
Another reason we are launching the Q&A site is that we have noticed there are some questions which are often asked by most new users. So why should we not create a site where these questions could be gathered in one place and searched easily.
Tell me what should I do
Join our community
If you have not opened an acount on our site during previous events, it is high time. Join now!
If you remember having created an account but do not remember the credentials, request your account information.
Ask questions
Asking questions is very easy. On the top right corner of the Q&A site you will see this button.
A new question form will be opened where you will need to fill out three fields:
- Title: What's your question? Please be as specific as possible. Include keywords if necessary. This will help other members find your question easily and, hopefully, the answer for it.
- Description: Describe your question in detail. You can insert code snippets. They will be highlighted once your publish your question.
- Category: Choose the category of your question among SQL, Drivers, Tools, Other.
- Tags: You can tag your question with related tags. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question. At least 1 tag should be entered, max. 5. To see the full list of tags see Tags.
What kind of questions can I ask?
Your questions should be of Howto type and be related to CUBRID and database management. It can be related to...
- ... various tools you use with CUBRID.
- ... writing SQL query, its optimizations, etc.
- ... usage of CUBRID's unique features.
- ... implementation of specific features in CUBRID.
Most importantly your question should be specific, practical, and answerable.
What kind of questions should I not ask?
Please do not ask open-ended or arguable questions. They will not be of much usefulness for other members of the community.
Additionally, please do NOT report bugs in the Q&A site. We have JIRA Issue Tracker for this. It is very poweful, so please report your issues there.
Remember that the Q&A site is only for Howto questions.
Answer questions
Answering questions and helping other members solve their problems is the most noble action. There are a few places to start from.
By default the front page will display the Newest questions. You can narrow them down to see only Unanswered questions.
Alternatively, if you are interested in specific topics, you can choose a category to answer questions from.
Once you see the question you feel you have an answer for, open it. Then go through already posted answers, if any, and make sure your answer is different enough to post it as a separate answer. If your answer is unique, press the Post Your Answer button located below all the answers.
Comment, provide Hints
If you do not have a unique answer but have some hint to the question author or some remarks regarding one of the answers, you can always comment on both questions and answers.
If there are some comments, you can see them below the question or answer. Click on the comments (1) link to hide or reload the comments. To leave a comment, write below the rest comments and press Enter.
If you like the question someone has asked or if you have/had the same question, vote UP for it. Thus you will signal to us that this question requires attention and it has to be resolved as quickly as possible. The more votes, the quicker you receive answers.
If you have changed your mind and would like to take back your vote, click on the DOWN vote. This will deduct a vote from the question.
Likewise, you can vote UP or DOWN answers. If the provided answer solves your problem, let other users know that this particular answer was useful for you. If necessary, provide extra information in the comments.
In case you decided to vote DOWN an answer, you MUST leave your comment why you did so, reasoning your decision with a specific fact.
Accept Answers
Once you have voted UP for the answer which has provided the best solution for your question, you can accept it if you are the author of this question. Right under the voting box each answer has the Accept button in the form of a check icon which becomes opaque once your hover over it.
Be very prudent when accepting answers. If the answer really helped you, accept it or wait for a better answer. Once you accept the answer, you cannot change your decision.

"Postpartum depression was the farthest thing from my mind, I didn't have any thought that it was going to affect me at all."
Nancy began to feel sadness during the weeks leading up to the birth of her baby, but chalked it up to a difficult pregnancy that left her bedridden for the two months prior to her daughter's birth. She never attributed it to any kind of depression, and was excited to meet her daughter.
She ended up needing a C-section, but with the support of friends, family and nurses, she felt a high for the first 24 hours after the birth.
"I took the turn the day before I came home. I remember sitting on the end of my bed in the hospital, and I was sobbing uncontrollably and I didn't know why," Nancy said. The next day she calmed her nerves, told herself "it's just the baby blues," and brought her daughter home.
Once home, however, things didn't go as she had hoped. Her baby began to develop colic, and Nancy could no longer breastfeed her. "It just made me feel so bad. I just started to feel that everything was falling apart."
She began to place blame on herself, breaking down crying, feeling that there was something wrong with her. But she kept these fears to herself and tried to cope.
Her anxiety continued to grow. She was always worrying that something was going to happen to her baby. She became consumed with visions of her daughter getting sick or dying.
"I got to the point where I wasn't sleeping, and I never admitted to anybody, but it was horrible," she said.
Strong-willed, she thought she could handle it, convincing herself she could shake the intrusive thoughts. Finally, the visions and dreams scared her to the breaking point. Nancy got in touch with her OBGYN, who referred her to a psychiatrist who told her she was suffering from postpartum depression.
"It was like bricks were lifted off me," she said. "Within 24 hours I knew I got the help I needed to get, that my daughter was going to be OK, that WE were going to be OK."
With a mixture of therapy and medication, she began to get past her troubled thoughts.
Nancy's only regret: that she didn't seek out help sooner.
"PPD takes a lot of time away that you're supposed to be sharing with your child, time you can't get back. So if you can do whatever you can do with your family, with your support group, to help you through it as quickly as you can and not lose that valuable time, it's worth everything."
Perinatal mood disorders are treatable. But first you have to ask for help.

Since the 1950s, more than 2.5 million dedicated study participants have joined the Cancer Prevention Studies, and their commitment to these vital research efforts has helped us better understand what causes cancer so that we can ultimately prevent it.
In December 2013, the American Cancer Society completed the initial recruitment of its newest study, Cancer Prevention Study-3, with over 304,000 participants. The American Cancer Society's Epidemiology Research Program invited men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who had no personal history of cancer to join this historic research study. The ultimate goal was to enroll at least 300,000 adults from various racial and ethnic backgrounds from across the United States and Puerto Rico.
The successful completion of this enrollment was built on the partnership of Society staff and over 30,000 volunteers with enrollments being conducted at over 800 Relay For Life events, 100 Society events including Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and over 2,000 corporate, hospital and community partner hosted events. CPS-3 has participants from all over the United States and Puerto Rico with average age at enrollment of 47 years.
Now that we have completed the initial recruitment of our participants, we will be shifting our efforts to the next phase of the study called follow-up, which includes our first follow-up survey for the entire population. In addition to our follow-up survey, a small group of CPS-3 participants will be invited to participate in one of two sub-studies that we will be conducting this year on diet, physical activity, light and sleep patterns. These sub-studies are an essential component to maintaining the highest scientific standards in our study.
For more information about CPS-3 or for participant inquiries including change of address or participant status, please email email@example.com or call toll-free 1-888-604-5888.

C. Hugh Friedman, a past president of the California State Board of Education who was married to former Democratic Rep. Lynn Schenk, died Tuesday.
Friedman, whose death was reported by the U-T San Diego today, had leukemia. He was 81.
The Board of Education wasn't the only political appointment received by the longtime University of San Diego School of Law professor. The U-T recaps his service:
Mr. Friedman also served on numerous national, state and local boards and commissions, having been appointed by President Bill Clinton and California Govs. Gray Davis, Jerry Brown and Ronald Reagan.
Among his many positions, Mr. Friedman served on the California State Air Resources Board from 1999 to 2004 and on the White House Conference on Small Business Commission from 1993 to 1996. He was the president of the California State Board of Education from 1982 to 1984, and he served as the president, vice president and director of the Del Mar Fair Board between 1982 and 1986.
Friedman's wife, a Democrat, was secretary of the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency during Gov. Jerry Brown's first two terms in office and chief of staff to former Gov. Gray Davis. She served one term in Congress in the 1990s.

Speaking today at United Nations Headquarters in New York, Ambassador Susan Rice, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, announced an additional $10 million contribution to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
Ambassador Rice said:
"The United States is pleased to announce that we will transfer an additional $10 million to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. This brings total U.S. funding for the Tribunal to $30 million since its inception.
"We applaud the brave and tireless work of the Tribunal's staff members, who continue to carry out their duties in a professional, apolitical manner. The recent attack on three Tribunal staff members in Beirut is yet another attempt to create a false choice between justice and stability in Lebanon and to prevent the independent Tribunal from carrying out its Security Council mandate. We condemn such acts and again emphasize that efforts to discredit, hinder, or influence the Tribunal's work must not be tolerated. The Tribunal must continue to operate according to the highest standards of judicial independence and integrity, and we have full confidence in its ability to do so.
"The establishment of the Tribunal was a clear signal that Lebanon's sovereignty is non-negotiable. We are confident that the work of the Tribunal can continue to help deter further violence and put an end to a tragic era of impunity for political assassinations in Lebanon. Until Lebanon is able to achieve this, it will be very difficult to secure the peace and stability that all Lebanese citizens deserve.
"We commend all of the donor countries that have contributed to the Tribunal and we encourage the entire international community to continue to support the Tribunal, financially and politically."
Text of the statement is available here.

Take out the regimes in Tehran and Damascus, and you won't even need the Lebanon tribunal
Camille P. in Georgia (U.S.A.) writes:
It makes me feel warm all over when I read things like the USA delivers Harley Davidson Motorcycles to Lebanon....the USA has donated 10 million dollars to Lebanon...I didn't know that the US had 10 million dollars to give away ...why dont they use that money to feed their own people who are living on the street...

Skip to comments.Annual health screening: does it do more harm than good?
Posted on 02/10/2013 11:44:51 PM PST by neverdem
Do you have an annual health check? Plenty of people do. Health screening general checks on people who dont have any symptoms is widely promoted by private doctors and health insurance companies and popular. Successful executives, who are used to being in control, understandably think of their health as another area where, if they take prudent precautions, they can minimise risks.
And they are not suggesting that doctors shouldnt screen or test patients when they suspect something is going on. They approve of targeted interventions for specific conditions.
More worrying, though, is the fact that there are the many possible undesirable effects of general checks. Stephanie Thompson and Marcello Tonelli of the Cochrane Library note that the potential for harm is likely to exceed the potential for benefit when screening is implemented in a population where the overall risk of an unfavorable outcome is low. You may get over-diagnosis, where the tests pick up a disease that, if it hadnt been detected, would not have affected the quality or length of your life. Abnormal test results can also lead to the need for more tests, which means more risk, worry, lost income due to work absences, problems getting health insurance, and potentially increased healthcare costs.
The health checks studied werent completely useless. Some of them picked up cases of high blood pressure and raised cholesterol levels...
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.telegraph.co.uk ...
"The only people who unquestionably benefit from general screening programmes are private doctors and health insurance companies."
I imagine these bothersome annual physicals put a huge burden on the UK's healthcare system. PLUS - having to treat all the folks that turn up sick.
I read a report from some committee in London. The doctors were outraged that it took almost a year to get an appointment to take a hearing EXAM in the smaller, far-flung counties. They argued that it should be closer to the 6-week wait they have in London.
For a frikkin' hearing EXAM!
Reminds me though. I'm a three years late for my annual exam. But I really was thinking earlier today to call tomorrow to set one up. Might be my last chance to get in within the week before Obamacare really kicks in.
I see my doctor 4 times a year and let him direct what I need and I request those things I'm worried about.
Wait and No are evil, vile words right there with late.
I know I'm on borrowed time, can't do a thing about it, I will be damned if I'm going to spend all my time being poked, prodded and tested. I don't make myself miserable sweating it, not about to start now.
I go when something is broken, piercing my body or I'm sick. Other than that criteria, that's it.
I'm 54. Over the past decade, I've been to the doctor on six occasions....period. Like you....if it's not broke, don't waste time or money.
If you want to stay healthy, stay away from the doctor.
Heart disease is cheaper than cancer. Upon occasion, I go out and purchase my own tests from a third party.
So you have them now saying that early detection and prevention are a failure?
Without regular screening, how will anyone know that they have high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels? Wait until they have a stroke or a heart attack?
In the US we just need to wait a few years for the health care system to collapse under the weight of Obamacare's "free stuff" before they throw in the towel, too!
There was an article, I think it was in the New England Journal of Medicine, that concluded the economic costs of almost all screenings outweighed the costs of treating the subsequent disease. The costs of the screening and false positives was greater than the treatment of the disease. The economic benefit for screening was a benefit to the individual in which the disease was detected but an economic loss for the society as a whole. One exception was the early detection of diabetes.
The death panels approve of delayed checkups.
Disapproving tests, ensures no diagnosis or treatment.
Great way to save money!
This is Obama's solution to Medicare and Social Security deficits.
This was written by The White House, wasn't it?
You're absolutely correct.
Every year cut off the life expectancy is a HUGE positive impact for SocSec and Medicare.
But you still get to vote, dead or alive. Win win for the libs.
I see him twice per year. Two years ago he caught my prostate cancer at such an early stage that we were able to destroy it with very little after effect.
Annual checkup saved my life.
Unless you have a complaint, the chances of routine physical exams helping people avoid morbidity and increasing longevity are relatively small. This opinion about the value of routine physical exams has nothing to do with Obamacare. It has been the opinion of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force since August 2005 at the least.
It you have a complaint, then that's different. Don't wait for a routine exam to address it.
But don't be surprised with questions that are offensive to many conservatives with respect to a particular amendment in the Bill of Rights during routine exams, unless you live in Florida.
Docs in Florida are challenging a recent law which prevents them from asking certain questions unless the patients sound like a threat to themselves or others, IIRC.
Annual checkup saved my life.
Most men with prostate cancer die of something else. Unless you have a family history of lethal prostate cancer or a pathology report that the biopsy had aggressive features, most urologists will recommend what's called watchful waiting.
After my diagnosis I got three opinions from 3 separate physicians; one Family Practice, one Urologist, and one Oncologist. None suggested watchful waiting. Opted for using proton radiation, 44 sessions, killed the tumor, everything now normal.
Which is why we shouldn't believe studies like this. The criteria are socialistic. America is built upon the premise of individual liberty. We need to move medicine back toward liberty and the free market.
All the trouble and burden our current system places on society were put in place by liberals believing that the trouble and burden should be on society. Now that the bills come due on their program it's time to tell individuals that they cost society too much.
Don't fall for it, change it.
"The economic benefit for screening was a benefit to the individual in which the disease was detected but an economic loss for the society as a whole."
Sounds like a background note for the creation of ObamaCare.
Perfect and brilliant response!
One needs to consider when reading articles like this, the propaganda leans towards the medical need discussion, even though it is clearly discussing economics.
Are you on Medicare and is that covering it?
I know people who've gone from less than annual checkups to quarterly "visits" with their doctor since they're covered for it.
Thanks. We just need to keep our perpective and skepticism. The current problem was a solution at one time and implemented by "well-meaning" liberals.
Economics is the new new thing for liberals. They love manipulating and now they can use real numbers and statistics to prove just about anything, plus using numbers makes them look smart.
I just stick to the principles and it's amazing how they clarify the intentionally obscured information. It's a confidence game and social engineering. I suspect that maybe 75% of what we get as news is really PR planting a story for a purpose.
I have not seen a doctor in at least 20 years. I would have to think hard about the last one I saw. I have a dentist and see my dentist but I boycott doctors and they boycott me :)
The reason for annual or even semiannual physical is to gather numbers. The long term view can be assisted by analyzing the variance over a long period of time. Although actually seeing the patient and making a check of the actual living body yields results, the numbers gathered and analyzed are more important over the long haul.
Modern medicine is based on lots of numbers and the variance and interaction of those numbers over time. While it is possible to go overboard at any little change, it is prudent to allow time to be a part of the analysis. A change today can be checked in 6 months to determine the veracity of an important variance.
It is also true that there might be doctors that are greedy. If that is the fact, the patient is guilty of a purchasing error. Another doctor should be selected. There is also the problem of over testing resulting from fear of law suits. There is no way to remedy that problem until the current law is changed to remove the super penalties imposed. For routine care, that is also a purchasing error.
My experience this year is that the insurance company prefers to pay for checkups rather than a costly problem that could have been prevented or lessened. This is to the point where they pay a nurse practitioner to come to your home to have an interview and determine if a course of visits to the physician would be of benefit. This a proactive course. It was a problem for both me and my wife because we have the annual and semi annual care that the home visit is promoting to those who don't or resist.
We have medicare advantage with the largest of the providers that is seriously out front promoting wellness rather than treatment after the fact. I view that as a very positive outcome
Huh? FK no. Not that there's anything wring with someone being on medicscare.
I really would only see him twice a year like I use to but they want to see you every three months for some reason.
It use to be I'd see my doctor and dentist on the same day. Now I just waste time seeing everyone. Dr. For muh shoulder. PT fer muh shoulder. Chiropractor and Sport Physic for my shoulder and upper back. Dentist and my regular doctor.
It's a frickin full time job and I'm bout ready to quit.
Yuge waste of my time, at this point in my life and I'd rather my time was consumed with other activities.
Couple more months and I don't care whut. I'm done.
Booooring .....
Oh, I get charged $100 for some visits and $150 for others. No rhyme or reason.

The NFL machine looked at the possibility of labor strife and decided they needed to win the hearts and minds of the fans and media. It's all bullshit.

Dug up a little more info on our boy George Putnam. An intriguing data point about the little masterpiece we're streaming here is that according to the Wikipedia entry, it was financed by Charles Keating, who would go down in ignominy in the 1989 savings and loan scandal. Putnam, amazingly, is still alive and working in his mid-90's, and has a right-wing radio talk show.
Here also is Wikipedia's interesting entry about the film.

Yates, The Next Steps
So. Where are we with the aftermath of protesters being evicted from office buildings they have occupied? Clearly, the Mayor of Carrboro has proven that it's better to send in ice cream than SERT.
The powers-that-be in Chapel Hill may be moving in much the same direction. This past week has seen a flurry of media interviews, in which the Chapel Hill Town Manager and Chief of Police have admitted essentially, and at long last, that they got the use of SERT wrong, when evicting protesters from the Yates Building last November.
They have also released answers to 45 questions that had been put to them by the Chapel Hill Town Council's Community Policing Advisory board (CPAB). I'm afraid those answers prove that there are still many more questions that need asking.
Chapel Hill Town Council have offered a passive web-site, where folks can submit their thoughts on the Yates incident. But what is still required is more active investigation.
The problem is that CPAB have already made clear that, as a fully volunteer organization, they have neither the time nor the resources to undertake such an investigation. But, perhaps, Jim Neal's proposed Independent Review Commission could step in, and perform that function for CPAB?
CPAB and the Commission, working together, could then submit to the Town Council a final factual timeline of Yates, along with recommendations for changes to Policing policy going forward.
One of the recommendations would surely have to be greater citizen oversight of Policing policy and strategy in the future. Perhaps undertaken by CPAB? But a CPAB granted more independence and its own funding.
That's my take.

On July 26, Secretary Clinton appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press."
On July 26, Secretary Clinton appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" with David Gregory. During the interview, the Secretary discussed a broad range of topics, including North Korea, Iran, Russia and Afghanistan. On North Korea, Secretary Clinton said:
"I think what's important here is the clear message that we're sending to North Korea, and it's one that is now unanimous. The Security Council Resolution 1874 made official that North Korea must change their behavior, and we have to get back to moving toward verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner.
Now, as you know and as you've reported, they've engaged in a lot of provocative actions in the last months. But what we, China, Russia, South Korea, Japan, and literally the unanimous international community have said is it's not going to work this time. We're imposing the most stringent sanctions we ever have. We have great cooperation from the world community. China and we are working closely together to enforce these sanctions. We still want North Korea to come back to the negotiating table, to be part of an international effort that will lead to denuclearization. But we're not going to reward them for doing what they said they would do in 2005 and '6. We're not going to reward them for half measures. They now know what we and the world community expect."
On Iran, Secretary Clinton said:
"Our hope is – that's why we're engaged in the President's policy of engagement toward Iran – is that Iran will understand why it is in their interest to go along with the consensus of the international community, which very clearly says you have rights and responsibilities; you have a right to pursue the peaceful use of civil nuclear power, you do not have a right to obtain a nuclear weapon, you do not have the right to have the full enrichment and reprocessing cycle under your control. But there's a lot that we can do with Iran if Iran accepts what is the international consensus."
On Russia, Secretary Clinton said:
"We want a strong, peaceful, and prosperous Russia. Now, there is an enormous amount of work to be done between the United States and Russia. We're working on reducing our nuclear arsenal. We're going to work on reducing fissile material to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. We're working to combat the threat of violent extremism. Russia has been very helpful in our United Nations efforts vis-à-vis North Korea. The Russians joined the G-8 statement in Italy talking about the need for Iran to come to the table either in a multilateral forum like the P-5+1 that we're a part of or bilaterally with us. And so there is an enormous amount of hard work being done, and we view Russia as a great power.
Now, every country faces challenges. We have our challenges. Russia has their challenges. And there are certain issues that Russia has to deal with on its own. And we want to make clear that as we reset our relationship, we are very clearly not saying that Russia can have a 21st century sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. That is an attitude and a policy we reject. We also are making it very clear that any nation in Eastern Europe that used to be part of the Soviet Union has a right now as a free, sovereign, and independent nation to choose whatever alliance they wish to join. So if Ukraine and Georgia someday are eligible for and desire to join NATO, that should be up to them.
So I think that what we're seeing here is the beginning of the resetting of that relationship, which I have been deeply involved in. I will be co-chairing a presidential commission along with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. We'll be following up on what our two presidents said in Moscow. And the Russians know that we have continuing questions about some of their policies, and they have continuing questions about some of ours."
On Afghanistan, Secretary Clinton said:
"[W]e had an intensive strategic review upon taking office, and we not only brought the entire United States Government together, but we reached out to friends and allies, people with stakes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And as you know, the result of that strategic review was to conclude that al-Qaida is supported by and uses its extremist allies, like elements within the Taliban and other violent extremist groups in the region as well as worldwide, to extend its reach, to be proxies for a lot of its attacks on Jakarta, Indonesia and elsewhere. So that in order to really go after al-Qaida, to uproot it and destroy it, we had to take on those who are giving the al-Qaida leadership safe haven.
Now, as you know, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is permeable. There are movements back and forth across it. I think our new strategy, which has been endorsed by a very large number of nations, some of whom don't agree with us on a lot of other things, is aimed at achieving our primary goal.
And we also learned from Iraq, which were hard lessons, that in order to have our military intervention be effective when they go in and try to clear areas of the extremists, we have to follow in to build up the capacity of the local community to defend itself and to be able to realize the benefits of those changes.
This is a new strategy. It's just beginning. I think the President believed that it was not only the right strategy, but facing what he faced, to withdraw our presence or to keep it on the low-level, limited effectiveness that had been demonstrated, would have sent a message to al-Qaida and their allies that the United States was willing to leave the field to them.
And in addition, importantly, we've seen the Pakistani Government and military really step up, which had not happened to the extent it has now. So the Taliban, which is, as I believe strongly, part of a kind of terrorist syndicate with al-Qaida at the center, is now under tremendous pressure. And I think that's in America's national interest."

City Man In County Jail After Drug Probe
A Jamestown man is in Chautauqua County Jail following a lengthy probe by the city police department into the sale of illegal drugs. It was the second drug-related arrest in as many days within Jamestown.
Miguel A. Camacho, 50, was arraigned and remanded to County Jail after a search warrant was executed at 2 p.m. Tuesday at his 215 Winsor St. residence. Jamestown police were assisted by members of the State Police's Community Narcotics Enforcement team.
Police believed Camacho was selling crack cocaine out of his residence which prompted the investigation. According to Capt. Robert Samuelson of the Jamestown Police Department, no drugs were found Tuesday at the time of the search.
Camacho was later charged with felony third-degree sale of a controlled substance. He was arraigned in Jamestown Court and remanded to County Jail.
The drug arrest was the second by Jamestown police in as many days. On Monday, police charged Luis A. DeJesus-Colon, 28, and Neftali Cintron, 49, with felony third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Both were awaiting arraignment on the charges.
The Jamestown SWAT team was used to gain entry to 31 Barrett Ave. due to uncertainty inside the residence Investigators believed heroin was being sold there.
Jamestown police were assisted by State Police and the department of Homeland Security.
Samuelson, meanwhile, said the back-to-back busts were unrelated.
"It's just the way things happened," he said. "We've been very busy, and that's just how they worked out."
Samuelson noted crack cocaine has been problematic in Jamestown since he joined the force. "Cocaine is just as prevalent now," he said. "As is with heroin, it's a problem in all the big cities as well as here.
"Heroin is very addictive, and it's very dangerous. People build up a tolerance so they're shooting up multiple times."
Police are asking anyone who may have information on the illegal sale of narcotics in the city of Jamestown to contact the department's anonymous tip line at 483-8477.

New playground construction moves forward
ESCANABA – Construction is moving "full steam ahead" on a new playground being built on the southwest side of Escanaba, council was informed at its regular meeting Thursday.
Patt and John Besse of Gladstone recently donated $280,000 to the city to build the new recreation area which will be named the John D. Besse Public Park. Plans call for the project to be completed in time to be dedicated during the Esky 150 Celebration in early July.
During an update to council on Thursday, City Engineer/Public Works Superintendent Bill Farrell said ground was broke at the construction site last week. The top soil was stripped and the brush was cleaned up on the property located on the northeast corner of 8th Avenue South and South 30th Street.
This week's progress included the placement of footings for the 1,728-square-foot pavilion, added Farrell.
"We're moving full steam ahead on the park," he told council.
During council action Thursday, the city entered into a contract with Superior Play Michigan Inc. of Brighton to purchase state-of-the-art playground equipment for the park for approximately $142,370.
Company representative Doug Smith, of Manistique, explained that the equipment will be the first "universally-accessible playground" in the area, meaning it goes beyond the minimum barrier-free status. There is only one other such park in the Upper Peninsula, he said.
In addition to the pavilion, the local park will include four grills, a disc golf course, two volleyball courts, a paved parking lot, picnic tables, benches, a water fountain, and a portable restroom. A concrete walking track will encircle the playground area.
In other business Thursday, City Manager Jim O'Toole updated council on the sale of the city's power plant to Escanaba Green Energy (EGE).
Reading from a memo from EGE President Charles Detiege, O'Toole said the company has secured funding sources and hopes to provide a sale closing date at the May 8 Electrical Advisory Committee/Council meeting.
Also at the meeting, council conducted a public hearing on establishing an industrial development district on property located at 3712-2716 19th Ave. N. in the White Tail Industrial Park where Bell's Brewery Inc. plans to build a beer manufacturing and bottling plant.
Vickie Schwab, Delta County Economic Development director, said the new business, its five jobs, and it's $2.5 million construction project will be "a tremendous asset" to the community as well as the surrounding area.
In other action, council approved the purchase of chemicals for the water and wastewater plants.
Council's next regular meeting is scheduled for May 16.

Topic: DRY Help
Greetings all...
I have a DRY related question as this repetition is driving me insane. All my controllers share the common CRUD controllers but I've decided to not go RESTful as I prefer combining the new and create actions in a single action. Is there a way to dry up my new.rhtml and edit.rhtml as they are identical across all controllers.
new.rhtml and edit.rhtml look like this:
<% form_for :model, :url=>{:action=>params[:action]}, :builder=>LabeledFormBuilder do |f| %>
<%= render :partial=>"form", :locals=>{:save_button=>"Save", :f=>f} %>
<% end %>
Is there maybe a way of DRY-ing it up with partials or another way i'm not aware of?
Thanx guys

Stubbs swings through plenty of fastballs. It's not just a matter of pitch recognition -- he may be guessing at times (pitch or location), and he doesn't have the contact skills to compensate when he guesses wrong. He may also have a hole down and in.Because of how much he is out on his front foot flailing at a breaking ball. He steps too soon because he is reading fastball then had to try and wait, leading to him being way off balance and reaching. If he could read that pitch, he wouldn't step early and be reaching.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Billy with another strong day 2 for 5 and a walk. OBP is now at .411.
The last 10 games he has been on fire hitting at .386 average and a .481 obp....
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice... It merely required no character.
― Joseph Heller, Catch 22
Baseball Prospectus has a Hamilton story today by Ian Miller, who just wanted to see him play. It includes some video.
I would trade Hamilton now if it will net the Reds a good player who can help the team beyond this year.
Something tells me as well that some teams would bite too.
Hamilton stole four bases last night, giving him 67 steals in 56 games this season. Minor-league seasons are 144 games, rather than 162 games, yet he's still on pace for 163 steals on the year. Seriously: One. Six. Three.
If the Reds don't move Hamilton to CF, then he is definitely trade bait. Shortstop prospects are valued more higher than non-power hitting CFers. So a non-move is simply because he has more value at SS for some other team. Reds have Cozart, most likely for a long time, and there is zero sense in keeping Hamilton at short. Plus, he's not considered very good defensively.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
My thinking about moving Hamilton to CF revolved around defense. If his most exceptional skill is speed, then, given his other skills, where is he most valuable? If his defense at SS projects to be at best average (and maybe below average) at the MLB level - and I don't know if this is true, but others have questioned his defense - wouldn't his exceptional speed possibly be better put to use in CF? Of course, that also assumes he can develop into a good fielder? We've had examples of speedy guys who still were'nt very good fielders, right?
Obviously if someone wants to offer the moon for the guy, you take it. But I think the Reds see Hamilton as their lead off man and a star player for the future. I don't think they are too worried about where he plays defensively.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (459 votes).
In short: Tough Hills at a Tough Time of the YearIn full: Ran this race twice now. Main point is the two hills you have to climb are steep, and the hardest you need to climb twice. First circuit the announcer introduces you as you cross the finish line for the first time. Lack of Portaloos this time. Best race photographers I've ever seen, their photos are sharp, colourful and clear, despite it being a dark time of the year. Great medal, excellent goody bag. One fault, it takes place in February, and if you can't get there due to snow, there's no refund for you!Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Loved it, even enjoyed the hills, great medal, a few more staff in the cafe after would of been nice Longleat!Date of review: February 10, 2013
In short: Nice course, challenging hills, great medalIn full: Second time running the Longleat 10km, thoroughly enjoyed it - especially after the snow and ice last year!Three challenging hills but still a great course.Organisation has definitely improved from last year. Communication from 2:09 pre-event was very good, easy to find information tent this year and good to see that Longleat have embraced the race and opened up the restaurant and toilet facilities this year. Gives spectators something to do during the run and better to get a snack afterwards than a greasy burger van.Love the lion medal at the end! I'll be back next yearDate of review: February 4, 2013
In short: Great scenery, challenging hills.Date of review: February 4, 2013
In short: great race, those hills keep drawing me back for another goDate of review: February 4, 2013
In short: very proud to have completed this race!In full: I seem to find myself entering races and then as it approaches I am filled with fear!!! Today was no different but how proud do I feel tonight with my lovely Lions Head Medal in my hand!!! This is a tough course for a part time runner like me, I am much more comfortable in my regular exercise classes or cycling!!! I tackled all 3 hills admirably and surprisingly it was the down hill that caused me a knee injury that reached a painful climax between 8-9km resulting in a very slow end to an otherwise great run! I truely believe that 50% is believing you can do it and the rest is fitness and I proved this today. Would recommend this run as worth the challenge and you will have a great feeling when you cross the finish, beautiful scenery too!Date of review: February 3, 2013
In short: Challenging but not impossible.In full: Great race well organised, only complaint was people walking 3 abreast on a narrow road up the first hill after 1k. Why do these people start near the front??Date of review: February 3, 2013
In short: Great first race of the year.In full: Well organised and scenic race. Liked the challenges of the three hills. Got talking to quite a few people on the way round which was nice. It's a nice LONG downhill to the finish. Don't get carried away and go to early. Thanks to the guy that ran down there most of the way. We did well in overtaking :). Fantastic medal, a lions head, definitely my favourite medal yet.Date of review: February 3, 2013
In short: Superb runIn full: 1st time at this run - and not disappointed at all. Loved all aspects of it and the hills were not too challenging. I'll be back next year Date of review: February 3, 2013
In short: Great venue, some tough hills but well worth a trip. Enjoyed it thoroughlyDate of review: February 3, 2013

Ebony Magazine has launched its Campus Queens 2013 Voting Competition, and the 2012-2013 Miss DSU Jamesa A. McDonald hopes her last official act will be to represent Delaware State University among the Top 10 HBCU campus queens that will be featured in the September 2013 edition.
Jamesa A. McDonald, 2012-2013 Miss DSU, could be the second consecutive Del State queen to make Ebony's Top 10, if she gets enough votes
Voting begins on May 8 and will continue until May 29. Support Miss DSU Jamesa McDonald by voting often – you can vote as many times as you want daily.
To vote for Ms. McDonald, click on the below link. Once on the Campus Queen webpage, click on page 2; Miss DSU Jamesa McDonald is second queen from the top on that page. Click on her photo, which will take you to her webpage, and go to the bottom and click on "Vote for Me."
Www.ebony.com/campusqueens [1]
Ms. McDonald is vying for the Top 10 against 51 other HBCU queens. Last year, 2011-2012 Miss DSU Erica Grant became the first Del State queen to make the Ebony's Top 10 Campus Queens.
Ms. McDonald, of Temple Hills, Md., will graduate on May 19 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science. Her career goals are to become a lobbyist, and she adds that she would especially like to lobby for HBCUs or on behalf of urban children.
The 2012-2013 Miss DSU shared with Ebony officials that her most memorable contribution as the DSU campus queen was the impact that was made when she hosted a program "Queen for a Day."
"The first half of the program included several steps to female empowerment." Ms. McDonald said. "I had all of the young ladies stand up and introduce themselves as Queen and their names and to tell everyone something very special about them. After the empowerment session I asked all of the young ladies to create sashes with the given materials and to pick a name for themselves to be called. Titles ranged from "Queen Beautiful" to "Queen So Outstanding." Every first Monday we all agreed to wear the sashes around campus with our business attire. The objective of the program was to remind the young women on campus that we are all queens and should remember that even when there is no sash or crown we should carry ourselves as such. It was a tremendous program."
Ms. McDonald's Ebony webpage includes a video she put together with Front Street Video, a production company owned by DSU alumnus Blake Saunders.

Meeting Email: ljudmila.geist
Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Semantics
Call Deadline: 12-Jul-2009
Meeting Description:
This workshop aims at investigating interpretative and formal aspects of
indefiniteness in individual languages as well as crosslinguistically.
Crosslinguistically, an NP may be marked as indefinite by different means. In
addition to the prototypical indefiniteness markers, e.g. the indefinite article in
languages such as English or German, there are markers like 'some' and
indefinite 'this' in English or 'irgendein' and 'so'n' in German. It is a matter of
debate what facets of indefiniteness such markers express in comparison to the
indefinite article. A more complete picture of the exact function of indefiniteness
markers can be reached by taking into account languages like Moroccan Arabic
and Uzbek, which employ two distinct indefinite articles, or languages like
Russian, in which indefiniteness is grammaticalized in the complex system of
indefinite pronouns. In his influential typological study, Haspelmath (1997)
determines different functions indefinite pronouns may display in different
Since this seminal work that was restricted to indefinite pronouns, there have
been important steps towards an understanding of the semantic and pragmatic
properties of different indefiniteness markers in general (e.g. by Farkas (2002)
and Ionin (2006) for English; Jayez & Tovena (2006) for French; Martí (2007) for
Spanish; Ebert, Ebert & Hinterwimmer (to appear) for German; Geist (2008), Geist
& Onea (2007) for Russian, and von Heusinger & Klein (2008) for Uzbek). Such
fine-grained analyses of indefiniteness markers in particular languages now
provide a basis for cross¬linguistic comparison with the aim to determine
universal types and crosslinguistically applicable concepts of indefiniteness.
Call for Papers:
We welcome submissions in which the following issues are addressed:
-Comparative studies on the linguistic coding of indefiniteness;
-Systems of indefinite pronouns: semantic fine-grained distinctions and
pragmatic functions;
-Interrelations of indefiniteness with other phenomena like specificity,
information structure, aspect, and modality;
-The diachronic rise of indefinite articles and the degrees of
grammaticalization of indefiniteness markers in different languages.
Abstracts should be anonymous and at most 2 pages in length. Please send your
abstracts electronically in pdf- and doc-format to indefiniteness 'at' ling.uni-
stuttgart.de, and include your name, affiliation and the title of the abstract in the
body of the e-mail. Submissions will be reviewed by two reviewers.
Submission deadline: July 12, 2009

Women who often spend a good amount of time in the morning making sure that their eye makeup is impeccable may be doing themselves a disservice if they don't also pay close attention to their eyebrows.
Carefully shaped arches are necessary to create a neat look. A few stray hairs on your brow line can ruin an otherwise fantastic makeup job!
To create flawless brows, simply follow a few basic rules.
The first step to gauge the natural shape of your brows and work to streamline their form, rather than trying to create a completely new line. The way they naturally grow is likely to be flattering to your features.
Next, be sure to use tweezers that allow for precision. Tools that make it hard to grab the hairs you want may lead to sloppy brows and irritated skin.
Once you've created beautiful arches, find long-lasting eye makeup products that won't detract from their appearance. Water-resistant tubing mascara that won't smudge, clump, smear or flake is ideal.ADNFCR-3356-ID-19866995-ADNFCR
