Jan Wong On Depression: Journalist Talks About Struggle And Recovery
What happens when you're a leading journalist at a national newspaper -- and workplace stress leaves you too depressed to write? For Jan Wong, formerly of The Globe and Mail and currently a professor at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick, as well as a columnist at Toronto Life and The Halifax Chronicle Herald, it meant completely re-evaluating her perspective on work, family and mental health.
After writing a story for The Globe about the Dawson College shootings in 2006 that included a statement about tensions between ethnic groups in Quebec within the province's Anglophone and Francophone debate, Wong was on the receiving end of death threats, racist cartoons and even attacks on her family's restaurant in Montreal. Her struggles with The Globe in the wake of that issue resulted in a diagnosis of situational depression and the eventual firing from her job.
It is estimated that by 2020, depression will be the second leading cause of disease in the world. In Wong's new book, "Out Of The Blue: A Memoir of Workplace Depression, Recovery, Redemption and, Yes, Happiness," she details her own struggles with the illness, as well as its larger impact on society as a whole. The Huffington Post Canada talked to Wong about her book, her account of the experience with The Globe, and how people can protect themselves from a disease that affects one in five Canadians each year.
The Huffington Post Canada: What is your book about?
Jan Wong: The book is really about when an employee is clinically depressed, what happens in the workplace and how do you deal with depression with your family and your friends, what kind of treatment is available, pharmaceutical and therapy and how does it work and what else helps you get better. It's actually very positive.
HPC: How did your experience with depression start?
JW: [In addition to the racist attacks after the Dawson College article], what really plunged me into the depression was the abandonment by my newspaper ... They abandoned me journalistically, because they suddenly got scared when we got this backlash, and they basically threw me to the wolves and they said 'We regret that we published this story.' So I felt completely betrayed by that.
The second betrayal was when I was so sick that I went to see my doctor, and she wrote me a routine sick note and they didn't believe me. And that was the most devastating betrayal. Because I understand that sometimes editors are opportunists and they want to duck. In this business no one's perfect. But the real betrayal was when you have a sick employee and you basically say, 'They're lying.' That was really too much for me.
HPC: Why did your doctor write you a sick note?
JW: Because I was incoherent, and I was completely sobbing in her office. I told her what was happening at work, I told her about the story and I told her about the newspaper.
All of that really got me so upset that I became, I guess, clinically depressed, but I didn't even recognize that myself. My doctor gave me two weeks sick leave, and I'd never really asked why. But there's nine symptoms of depression – if you get five of them and they persist for two weeks, then you're officially depressed, according to the DMS-IV. I didn't know any of that, but maybe that's why she said two weeks.
[Editor's note: Wong was eventually diagnosed with situational depression, a single episode of the illness that affects approximately one in six people over the course of their lives. It can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months, and can be treated with both medication and therapy.]
HPC: Is there a history in your family of depression?
JW: When we were little, my mother had a brief episode where she felt suicidal, and she went to see her family doctor, and she talked to him -- and I believe it was a him -- and then she felt much better and after that there was no problem. But the reason I don't know much about it is that my mother has passed away, and when she told me about it, I didn't want to know. I just felt so awkward and uncomfortable that I didn't ask her more.
In my own history, when I had my first child, I think I had post-partum for about two weeks. And at the time I didn't understand what had happened to me either.
HPC: So this was a surprise to you.
JW: I was shocked when this happened to me, because I had the prejudice that strong people don't get sick, but in fact of course that's not true, because Mike Wallace had depression when he was sued by General Westmoreland over his Vietnam story, and he attempted suicide.
SEE: Jan Wong's tips to keep yourself protected from situational depression. Interview continues below:
"I would first of all start paying attention to my sleep," says Wong. "Like right now I'm not getting enough sleep and if I thought the symptoms were coming back then I would make sure I go to bed early." Lack of sleep and depression are highly correlated, with some studies noting that a previous anxiety disorder can be worsened when sleep is lost.
"I would cut back on activities -- I would say no to a lot of things so I wouldn't be running around so nutty trying to do too many things," says Wong. Taking on too much, especially while trying to recover, can easily make someone feel overwhelmed.
"My husband was amazing," says Wong. "A depressed person is not very much fun to associate with, and there's often a lot of misunderstanding because your perceptions are skewed when you're depressed." That makes it all the more important to see those who will offer emotional support and reassurance.
"I'd cut my lawn or go and weed my garden," says Wong as an example. Other tasks that are deeply absorbing and meditative include knitting, playing music, or of course, literally meditating.
"I'm not an exercise freak, I don't go to a gym and I hate running," says Wong. "But I would go for walks, I would do something that's sports-related. Get away from your computer and start doing something." Multiple studies relate exercise with helping to alleviate mild to moderate depression, and even as a support system for severe depression.
"Go and help somebody who needs help and it's the giving of that which gives you serotonin in your brain," says Wong. "It's actually a really good thing to do -- you start helping somebody who needs it, like a poor person or sick person. And it's cheap too!"
Wong found that travelling took her away from the stresses of her work battle and gave her an opportunity to relax and eat, which she wasn't doing at home. While not a permanent solution, travel can give your mind a break from everyday tasks and add perspective.
HPC: Why don't people talk about depression in the workplace?
JW: I think employers try to suppress any talk about it afterwards because if they settle with you, they often try to push you out because they're afraid it will be lifelong. They don't understand that a typical depressive episode may last a few months. Certainly shorter than a pregnancy. And we accept that now it's okay to get pregnant – in another era, they would fire you if you got pregnant. We now accept that pregnancy is a normal part of the human condition and one day, I hope through public discourse, we'll understand that emotional and mental illness is also something that is not unusual. Understand that a depression is not going to destroy you for life, just like a pregnancy is not going to destroy you as an employee, but that you will have your baby and then you'll come back to work.
HPC: What would be an ideal situation for someone who's dealing with that in the workplace?
JW: I really think human resources folks need some fundamental training. They need to be educated about mental illness. As soon as they see a behavioural change, they have to do something. The first thing the HR person needs to ask is whether it's because of a situation at work or because of a situation outside of work. If it's outside, you tell them where to get counselling. If it's inside work, you tell them where to get treatment, but you also stop the situation at work.
Especially for those of us who work with our brains, there's this huge fear that if you've had a mental illness, no one will ever hire you again. But in fact that didn't happen – I have a job. I think that's what people need to know, is that you can recover.
HPC: So how did you heal? What did you do?
JW: Unfortunately, it took me a long time because of this ongoing strife with my employer. I think I could have gotten better, and my doctor thinks so too, much faster if I had just been allowed to be sick in peace. I travelled a lot – those were the times I could eat, otherwise if I was at home I wasn't eating. And I threw myself into music – I'm not a great musician by any means, but I play in different groups, and that takes you away. I stopped reading newspapers entirely, because newspapers were making me sick, just because it reminded me of the workplace. So I read tons of books – I started reading Tolstoy, things I had never had time to read ... All kinds of modern fiction too, like Still Alice and The Help, and it was just great.
HPC: So was it mostly time and not having the stress of the office?
JW: Yes – I think it was that and having the psychiatrist and taking the pharmaceuticals. I took four different kinds, trying to find the one that worked. I have a chapter on pharmaceuticals, because I want people to know that they work. They don't all work -- I had to go through three before I found one that worked [Wellbutrin], but it worked.
Again there's this prejudice – because they affect your mind, people are afraid to take them. I want to get rid of that stigma too. They're just pills! And yeah, they make your mouth really dry, and sometimes it ruins your sex life, but if you're sick, you've got to take the medicine. And therapy was good too – going to see my doctor [once a week for two years] was really helpful.
HPC: Is there any way that people can protect themselves?
JW: Yes, and I talk to my students about this because they're all going to be journalists. I tell them, okay, so the newsroom is a pressure cooker, and it's really fun and you're going to love this job, but it will suck every single minute of your time and you must be aware that you should have families, you should have relationships, you should have friends. You cannot always put your family second or third. You should put your family first -- not 100% of the time because journalism is a very demanding job -- but make time for your family.
We get sucked into the glory of the byline, but no one will remember you in five years. You're a big name now, but if you're not on the air, they won't remember who you are. Or a whole new generation will come up, they don't know who you are. It was so funny, one of my students got all excited when she Googled me and found out I'd been on Strombo a few years ago, so she starts posting it on my class Facebook group – finally I impressed them, right?
HPC: You had your long-running 'Lunch With Jan Wong' column and you were known for being very critical and telling the truth no matter what. Has that changed at all after your experience?
JW: Well, I still am the 'tell the truth no matter what' – that's what this book is – because I think it's important. But I think I'm much more sympathetic to people who have a problem. I think I'm much more willing to listen when people say things aren't well with them. And you know, I think some of the people I interviewed for my lunch column probably had problems that I didn't understand. Like Margaret Trudeau – I didn't understand her behaviour, she was erratic. [Editor's note: Trudeau eventually wrote a memoir on her struggle with bipolar disorder.] And I would just write about it with complete ignorance about mental illness, because she didn't talk in those days about it.
So I look back on that column, and I think, 'I was really tough, and I think I didn't have enough understanding of the frailty of the human condition when I wrote that.' And of course nobody wanted to talk about it. It's not like anybody said to me, 'I'm depressed.' Everybody just pretended they were fine.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This conversation has been edited from its original format for clarity and length.

The Persian ship – all black with a predatory hawk on the prow – tips around on a gimbal on a dry stage; water will be added later, in post-production. To that end, everything that is not part of the ship is covered in lurid green screen.
Sullivan Stapleton, meanwhile, is recalling working against the green screen with a hangover.
''Thank God we have to stay in shape on this movie,'' he says, straight-faced. ''Because the colour does get to you after a while.''
If you wanted to find a textbook example of the laconic Australian larrikin, Stapleton would be your man. Right now, however, he's playing Themistocles, the Athenian commander at the centre of 300: Rise of an Empire.
We are in Bulgaria, where a vast crew and some 200 sandal-wearing extras are facing day 50 of a 74-day shoot. The time is 480BC. Rise of an Empire follows in the wake of 300, Zack Snyder's spectacular adaptation of comic-book supremo Frank Miller's retelling of the story of the 300 heroic Spartans who held off the invading Persian hordes.
Everyone is at pains to stress that this is not a sequel as much as a parallel story; while the Spartans were fighting the emperor Xerxes' slave troops at Thermopylae, the Athenians were fighting them at sea.
You might remember Stapleton as Craig, one of the scary Cody brothers in Animal Kingdom; more recently he has been playing the lead in US television action series Strike Back, which is filmed largely in East Africa. He grins when asked what it was about Themistocles that resonated with him. ''What resonated is that he's the lead in a big Hollywood film,'' he says. ''I come from Australia; it's a very small industry.''
He didn't see a script until after he signed up; security on Hollywood's big brands is tight. Now he faces long days wearing a leather codpiece – ''It's half a tub of Vaseline every fight day!'' says New Zealand actor Callan Mulvey, who plays an Athenian spy – but it's all good.
''You chuck that leather costume on, stand on top of a ship that's moving and become little boys, really,'' says Stapleton. ''Well, I do. You just imagine we're all going to die and there is an armada of Persians out there, pull out your sword and scream.''
This sounds familiar to anyone who saw the first 300, most of which seemed to consist of Spartans roaring. ''Yes, that's why I signed up,'' Stapleton agrees. ''I thought the same thing, but I found out I do a lot of talking.''
His opposite number is Artemisia, a fearsome virago in charge of the Persian navy played by Eva Green in a leather dress with spines down the back; the director Noam Murro says the look he wants is ''like the Dolce & Gabbana of its day''. For much of today, Green is on her ship's deck moving two short swords through the arabesques of a fight move. ''Scissors, helmet, cut!'' she mutters as she hits the move's various marks, while Murro yells at her for seemingly hours to do it faster, emphasise ''helmet'' more, put in another beat. All this for a shot lasting a few seconds.
Director Noam Murro says the look he wants is like the Dolce & Gabbana of its day.
Murro, who earned his spurs making commercials, is both bullish and ebullient; more than one actor describes him as ''a kid in a candy store''.
''I think they all hate me,'' he says jovially after the film has wrapped for the day. ''You tell them what to do, they slip you a finger and somewhere in the middle, you get a performance.''
The atmosphere does seem to be at least as combative as any of the sword-play. Stapleton describes his relationship with Murro as ''colourful'', but sees this as a good thing. ''I've gotta say sometimes the bastard has been very right when we've gone against each other. I sit there saying, 'This is stupid, it's not going to work', and we watch it and it's great. I quite enjoy that.''
Since wrapping 300, Stapleton has been filming a new series of Strike Back in Thailand, where he has injured himself – in his own time. as the press releases are at pains to stress. All I can think when I hear this is: there goes a lot of training down the drain.
The core cast in Bulgaria had been working out with a trainer for months, hitting and crashing through one wall of exhaustion after another. They were manically fit. They were also tired of eating nothing but measured portions of chicken and broccoli.
''Our way of bonding,'' says Stapleton, ''would be to go out and eat something that isn't in a bag''. At that point, he made the great game of 300 sound quite serious.
300: Rise of an Empire is now screening.

Oct 19, 2012 - By Randy Tucker, Sports WriterShoshoni now waits for its first-round playoff opponent, while Wyoming Indian's winless season ends.
ETHETE -- Two teams headed in opposite directions met for what may be the final time Thursday night at Ethete. Playoff-bound Shoshoni shut out the Wyoming Indian Chiefs on their home field 54-0 to end a winless WIHS season at 0-8.
Shoshoni awaits its opening-round playoff opponent after the final regular-season games Friday. The Wranglers could travel to Upton, Lingle or Southeast Goshen, depending on the outcome of the final Class 2-A East conference games.
Wyoming Indian opened the game picking up four consecutive first downs behind a tight power running game, but as has happened to the Chiefs the entire season, they stalled after their initial series and only threatened once more in the entire contest.
Shoshoni didn't have much trouble finding the end zone. On the first play from scrimmage quarterback Tyler Clemetson found Lawry Johnson on a short bubble screen in the left flat, and Johnson did the rest, cutting back touchdown.
Two drives later the Chiefs picked up another first down but stalled, and the deep snap sailed over the punter's head. Shoshoni recovered at the 6, and a personal foul on the Chiefs moved the ball to the 3. Jayden Haslam powered in for the score.
The Chiefs ran 12 straight plays on the next series, including their only pass of the game from Ramiro Gonzalez to Tyler Williamson.
Gonzalez rolled on runs of 21 and 29 yards in the series, but the Chiefs fumbled at the 17 to end the threat.
Shoshoni mounted its longest drive of the game, starting with runs by Clemetson and Haslam and a Mason Steffen reception.
Clemetson hit Johnson again on another short pass that Johnson turned into a 43-yard scoring play.
Shoshoni erupted for 20 points in the final three minutes of the half, beginning with a 12-yard scoring passing from Clemetson to Josh Thoren.
Shoshoni has an effective onside kick, with Thoren kicking the ball high into the air and Josh Oaks running under it along the Wrangler sideline. The duo pulled the play off twice in the opening half.
Oaks first recovery led to a 17-yard Haslam scoring run with 1:04 left in the half. His second set up a 55-yard field goal attempt by Thoren that fell short.
Wyoming Indian tried to pass from it own 20-yard line, but freshman Shoshoni corner Triston Parrish picked off Gonzalez at the 33 and raced untouched into the end zone for the final points of the half.
In the third quarter, Shoshoni kept it on the ground for much of the period. Oaks scored early in the period on an eight-yard run.
Thoren's point after kick moved the score to 47-0, and the running-clock rule came into effect for the final 20 minutes of the game.
Shoshoni tacked on a final score with 4:22 left in the third on a 16-yard run by Micah Mills, and the remainder of the game was spent with the Wranglers giving Thoren two more chances to hit a field goal from 57 yards. Both missed.

Like the rest of the blushes in this line, Mocha has a quilted design in the powder, which I love. However, I'm a little confused... why is the color named Mocha? I know beauty products don't always match their names really well, but I would expect this blush to be the color of coffee, not a pink. Is there a different something called Mocha I don't know of? Regardless, the color is beautiful and great moving into the fall and winter seasons.
Mocha has a really great formulation: pigmented, blendable, and smooth. This blush wears about average on me. The color reminds me a little of winter berries, almost like something I would expect Snow White to wear.
NYX blushes contain .18 oz/5.2g of powder and retail for roughly $6 each (unless you score a sale!). I think this is a pretty good price for the amount of product you get, considering the quality. For reference, MAC blushes contain 6g of powder and retail for $20!
On my light complexion, it's easy to overdo this color so I make sure to use a lighter hand with it. If you have a medium complexion, this would probably make a great everyday color for you!
Do you like blushes with red tones in them? I am pretty picky about them... the wrong one will make me look sunburned!
xx, Allison

It is a nice, quiet and cosy place, 32sqm, fully equiped. A typical Parisian style apartment that can welcome up to 4 people.
You'll find all the amenities (fridge, oven, microwave, washing machine, coffee machine in the kitchen) and a new sofa cum bed.
In addition bed linen, Tv with cable and Internet (Wifi) is provided.
The decoration is very personal, as it is mainly based on all the trips and the place I had the chance to travel to.
With 2 stations just 3 minutes' walk away from the apartment (Pigalle or Abbesses), guests have convenient access to the Paris metro system. Trains run from there to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées in 10 minutes. Direct buses go to the Champs Elysées (15 minutes), the Eiffel tower (20 minutes) and the Louvre Museum (15 minutes). The beautiful walk up to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica takes only 10 minutes. The flat is one hour far from both main airports by public transportations.
I can't count the number of restaurants and bars in the street and the area. It is a very animated area, full of Parisian people in the morning, tourists in the afternoon and everyone in the evening !
In the neighborhood, I suggest you go to the restaurants located just down the street (not upwards, closer to the "Sacred Heart" is more touristic and not so good). For example, "the Fourmi" at the corner is always crowded and cheap, full of Parisians! I go there very often :) Also the "Marmite" is nice, they have huge salads!
Domovní řádSmoking is allowed except in the bedroom.
No pets allowed.
A security deposit is required based on the length of the stay and will be given in hands at arrival.
If more guests than initially expected and booked, please let me know!

A beautiful place to stay in Paris! You will find a Lot of nice Restaurants and Cafés in this area. We enjoyed our time in this Apartment a Lot.
Thank you Fanny!!
A very charming place in the center of Montmartre - more like a vivid district but not to close to the trouble. We felt relaxed and comfortable right from the beginning, since it was so easy to arrange everything and Fannys Mother welcomed us very friendly. So thanks for everything!
if you want to have a genuine experience of life in Paris, this is the apartment for you. In the heart of Montmartre, a short walk from the Sacre Coeur. A small apartment above the rooftops of Paris. Almost not real to be true. And Fanny a very kind and helpful host. I miss already the air of Paris…
I think Im in love! This apartment is so lovely, french and too good too bee true! (But it is of course!..)
From the bedroom you can see directly over to the top of Sacre Coeur, and from the livingroom you have the perfect view over the very parisian apartment with all the small chimneys, and of course the overall view over Paris AND you can see the Pompidu!! By the way you can easily live 3 in the appartment!
The appartment is situated in a walking distance to "the center of Paris" like Louvre, Rue de Rivoli, Marrais quartier e.t.c.
I will for sure come back :-)
A perfect spot in Paris with a very warm welcome by Fanny! Fanny's flat is nice, clean and cosy and just in the right spot for discovering Montmartre and Sacré Coeur. The metro station Pigalle is just a few minutes walk away so all of Paris's sights are reached very easily. The view over the city from the livingroom is amazing. We can very much recommend this place for a stay in Paris. Daniela
Fantastic location. Great view. Efficient communication with the host, check-in and chek-out without any problems. Fanny's mother, who welcomed us, has been very lovable.
nice apartament in nice place of paris, the landlord is very kind and the communication with her was very easy. we recommend her.
cosy and quiet apartment, small but animated, nice welcome by Fanny, good location for exploring Paris!
With nice people nice deal!
Fanny was very good to us, very correct and polite. The apartment is fully consistent with the description, is located in a convenient location, all logistics are literally at the door.
If back in Paris, only to Fanny!

X-Men: First Class Photo Gallery 2
Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were arch-enemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men. View photos from X-Men: First Class.

NBC reports that a group of abortion protesters disrupted a Barack Obama rally in New Hampshire. Though the police came to usher the protesters out, Obama's response seems to suggest that he understands the old notion of disagreeing with you but fighting for your right to say it:
"Let me just say this though. Some people got organized to do that [protest]. That's part of the American tradition we're proud of. And that's hard too, standing in the midst of people who disagree with you and letting your voice be heard." (emphasis added)
As a former president of the Harvard Law Review and then lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School, Obama surely has an understanding of what the First Amendment entails. If he gets the nomination, it will be interesting to see his views on civil liberties come out.

Don't worry, you have at least one more season to hope that Dr. House will see a patient who has the exact same fungal growth on his crotch, thus saving you a trip to a real doctor. Fox has renewed the medical drama House for an eighth season today, ending a contract stalemate between production house Universal Media Studios and the network.
Stars Hugh Laurie (Dr. Gregory House), Omar Epps (Dr. Eric Foreman), and Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. James Wilson) have all signed deals to return, and Lisa Edelstein (Dr. Lisa Cuddy) is expected to close her deal soon, according to Deadline Hollywood. Series creator David Shore is also working on a contract to return for season 8.Leonard had expressed interest in leaving the show to pursue a Broadway career.
House, a Fox staple, had seen its future slightly clouded when Fox and Universal couldn't agree to licensing fee deals for the show. In short, Fox had wanted the fee lowered because of falling ratings, and Universal was searching for ways to cut the show's budget so it could still turn a profit. In the end, the two sides found some middle ground and everyone was happy (except for some of the actors, who reportedly took pay cuts).
With star Hugh Laurie under contract for only one more year and the show not packing the punch it did in its heyday, hot-air experts (like me!) believe the eighth season will be the show's last.
Fox yesterday renewed Family Guy and The Cleveland Show for additional seasons, last week renewed Bones, and had previously renewed Fringe.
How do you think House should end?

Judge says blood alcohol test can be admitted
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A state district judge ruled the results of a blood alcohol test can be entered into evidence if a Rio Arriba County man goes on trial for vehicular homicide.
Police say a blood sample [auth] taken from 56-year-old Juan de Dios Cordova several hours after a May 28 crash near Chimayo showed he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.14. The crash killed a motorcyclist on New Mexico 76, also known as the High Road to Taos.
The Santa New Mexican (http://bit.ly/qWRM7l ) reports public defender Damian Horne argued that faulty handling of the evidence and the time between the accident and the blood draw should bar the results from being admissible in court. The crash occurred around 6 p.m. but Cordova's blood sample was not taken until after 10 p.m.
State District Judge T. Glenn Ellington said he saw no evidence the blood sample was contaminated.

Spanish actor Bardem voted best-dressed man
By Paul Casciato
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - International glamour outstripped Hollywood and hometown favorites at the top of the 2011 best-dressed list for men's magazine GQ.
Film star Javier Bardem was chosen by GQ's British edition as its top best-dressed man internationally, followed by Indian-born Sikh jewelry designer and actor Waris Ahluwalia and Alexander Skarsgard, Swedish star of the hit U.S. television vampire show "True Blood."
"The Spanish actor is the epitome of underplayed style -- no wonder he caught Penélope Cruz's attention," British GQ said of the 41-year-old "Biutiful" star in its February edition due out on Thursday.
The top 10 list also included Bollywood star Shah Rukh Kahn at number four, "High School Musical" heart-throb Zac Efron at six, new England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady at eight and George Clooney at number nine.
"From the silver screen to Nespresso machine, the actor is an immaculate throwback to the golden age of Hollywood heroes," GQ said in an advanced copy emailed to Reuters.
At the other end of the scale, actor Mel Gibson was the number one worst-dressed man internationally, followed by British fashion designer Henry Holland. GQ also panned Hollywood actor Will Smith's son Jaden for his sartorial sins as well as American Apparel founder Dov Charney and Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose.
"It's high time Rose left his clothes out in the November rain," said GQ in a pun on one of the group's songs.
The magazine's list of the 50 most stylish men in Britain was topped by English actor Aaron Johnson -- who played the nerdy superhero-cum-vigilante without any superpowers in director Sam Taylor-Wood's "Kick-Ass." Continued...

Social Security: Apocalypse Soon Or SoonerPaul Magnusson
Economists generally shy away from predicting growth or interest rates beyond the next four quarters. Longer horizons are considered too hazy for accuracy. But when it comes to the debate over the financial solvency of Social Security and Medicare, 10 years is considered the near term, and 75-year forecasts are just part of the job.
Yet Social Security is so large a program that being off by a fraction can lead to errors with huge fiscal consequences. With 43 million elderly people receiving $428 billion each year--a quarter of all government spending--small mistakes can force big benefit cuts or payroll-tax hikes to make up the shortfall.
Right now, the great danger is that even the government's worst-case scenario may be too upbeat. The pace of real wage gains is the main determinant of how fast Social Security revenues grow. The most pessimistic official projection calls for wages to rise by an average of 0.4% annually over the next 35 years. But the economy has eked out only a 0.1% rate of real wage growth over the past five years. If earnings stay depressed, Social Security cash flow could go negative much sooner than anyone has been willing to admit: 1997.
ROSY AND ROSIER. Unfortunately, the Clinton Administration is still singing Happy Days Are Here Again, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. True, economic assumptions were toned down after the disappointing experience of the 1970s and 80s. But when it comes to economic prognostication, things have a way of going wrong more often than right. "Even the most pessimistic assumptions don't give you any idea of what would happen if the next 25 years matched the last 25," says Roland E. King, chief actuary of the Medicare system until 1994.
Indeed, the numbers have been breaking badly for the government's forecasters. The most widely accepted "intermediate" economic projections still proved too optimistic in eight of the past 10 years. And the last two major attempts to fix the Social Security system--the latest led by Alan Greenspan in 1983--fell short because they were based on overly rosy assumptions. To close the long-term gap expected in just the retirement and disability portion would require a payroll-tax increase of 2.17 percentage points--a huge jump.
Actuaries have had their biggest problems predicting real wage growth, which they have consistently overestimated over the past 20 years. The reasons? The slowdown in productivity growth and the surge in the proportion of compensation going for health-care benefits, which are not subject to the payroll tax. The latest projections bank on a rebound in wage growth, as health-care costs moderate and as productivity grows again. But there's still no proof that real wages are rising (chart).
Changes in life expectancy could also throw all the calculations out of whack. Today's 65-year-old man can expect to live a further 15.3 years, an improvement of nearly two years since 1975. But the latest Social Security report, released on Apr. 3, assumes that life expectancy will grow at half that rate--less than an extra year in all. None of the projections takes into account "what could happen if there is a radical breakthrough in science--if cancer or heart disease were cured, for example," says economist John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis.
Another hit to the system could occur if people start living longer once they get sick. So far, AIDS hasn't had much negative effect in Social Security payouts, since HIV-positive people tend to work and pay taxes until they become ill. They then die fairly quickly. But if a more potent drug were developed to prolong life expectancy, "it could add a tremendously high cost to the system," admits Robert Myers, former chief Social Security actuary and deputy commissioner in 1981 and 1982. In fact, disability payments in general are climbing far faster than expected, perhaps because examiners are getting more sympathetic. The disability fund ran out of money in 1992 and 1993, and taxes from the retirement program had to be diverted to bail it out.
Politicians have long counted on the multibillion-dollar surpluses from Social Security to help hold down the budget deficit for the rest of this decade. But if current trends continue, the entire system may be running a deficit of its own--and sooner than anyone expects.

Theo joins D&C to talk about why he decided to leave Boston for Chicago. He also shares his thoughts on Ben Cherington, Bobby Valentine, Manny Ramirez, Papelbon, Lackey, Crawford, and of course, the compensation issue.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
As promised joining us on the AT&T -- get it fast with four GAT and T rethink possible the president of the Chicago -- -- -- -- thanks -- get up early this morning I know you're -- night -- -- -- you wide -- to talk to -- it -- and get them opt out -- -- pay up briefly at a -- -- spent a lot of time on this but can you give -- a very short version compare and contrast being the GM and Boston and the president in Chicago. Yeah yeah there -- a lot of similarities. Is they help the -- on the baseball operations. Franchises that are you know similarly situated that you know great fan -- is very pop art by history. And you know in the cut case. You know 103 years winning and then in Boston -- took over the 85 years when he saw that there -- a lot of parallels I think we're. We're a little bit different spot here. Then. In the Red Sox are right now and then it even a different spot -- -- wanted to go over November 2002 I think there's. You know there is a little bit more of the core in place in Boston there is right now we have a big challenge ahead of us here -- that that makes it exciting. Speaking of differences you haven't made any big free agent splash as with the cubs yet are the purse strings considerably tighter there. Not to take their when he resources here I think there are a lot of parallels. Totally didn't Boston and he. That that first year. That took over in Boston we you know we had Cliff Floyd Jews. Freeagent and and we let him go. Potentially can we get the drastic. Upturn in the draft picks and to get value. We brought the payroll down about twelve million dollars between 2002 and 2003. In limited number of value signing. David Ortiz -- million box. Bill Miller two years an option to worry about Kevin Maher. And two and a half for two years and options and then. You know traded for. Jeremy Giambi it didn't work out. -- Mike Timlin those ball is actually pretty similar off season that year. To what to what then in my opinion is -- very successfully done and Boston this Warner. Especially with the ball and so. That's what we're doing here at Chicago right now you have made a big splashes. But we've. -- -- -- Required to -- to draft picks the Latin couple of the players walked free agency we've we've brought a number of players Stein and their pre prime years of an acre. Has put any upside ahead of them and destroy our intent to serve re calibrate. -- organizations it is so we can establish you know a real foundation for sustained success not destroy it. Take shortcuts and in -- -- next year I don't think we're in a position to do that are now. -- a serious question will you and your baseball people spend one minute considering. Many Ramirez he's looking for a job you know. Now I get figured. Do you think anyone well you think he'll end up back in the big leagues. Really take on the you know I don't know I -- -- -- -- -- an -- and brightest you know plays a small -- like. He was he's begging for Joseph begging for a job any city's sorry for the mistakes he made you want to -- -- gives the economic mistaken and say you made a mistaken and do the right thing and show you guys a serious disease doing water rove X with a bunch old ladies in the open. That -- they quickly how I want -- this though we you. John Henry has made it clear that he you know he loved you loved you like a son and was hoping to stay forever. He had you under contract so why or how the the mean let you leave. Not because it's it's pretty standard it is very standard is these standards in baseball guys that. -- you know employees who are offered promotions are almost. Almost universally allowed to leave saw and it just became a huge deal but it didn't necessarily have to be in it. I discussed that would those with the -- -- who were great comedian. We sat down Hoff Summers talked about. My future that they were fantastic and that they would love that we know interactive media there forever we redeploy and be happy we look feeder. Stay here but you know we understand that you know ten years -- long time we'll talk about -- open about it -- you know when the cubs became a possibility has opened about the fact that I was prize the only place. That I would. To really see myself after work and for the red -- you can't just go anywhere but the cubs because. Because that that. You know the similarities between the franchises in the fact that the they haven't -- -- 103 years. Factors such a great challenge others to elaborate I guess he must also and then. When they -- the promotion that is fairly standard. Contract. Notwithstanding it happens in baseball that these contracts all the time for promotions and it was you know the covered a different -- handle different layer had we not had the September that we had I think it would have been complete non story and unfortunately it became. -- -- Pretty prominent. Theo did you wrestle with the idea is making the decision that some people might think you're bailing on a sinking ship we took the cubs job. The that undermine. Yes certainly. You know that certainly bothered me but I think you know it -- in the last minute decision guests on. Talked about these gas. All your long bet -- Talked about it for years. We. Had so many launches were -- mistake about it ahead. You're the guy that I wanna take over. And very good chance that in the end is is coming for me it in the ten years the Red Sox and you know we talked about his development and all the different things he had done in the game but that is that the water to areas where he's still needed some development time in the last two or three years specifically. I have a lot of experience in the various you do all rounded to take over so. It was a bigger picture issue it is it really transcended what happens is one month as a baseball club and a -- guess that is put it in the fact that. For people who cared about the situation that they really you know and maybe in the moment you know right after September. People would be upset that if you if you take a step back. And look at the totality of the circumstances and look at look at ten years of the Red Sox and where we were. You know when Ford got here and we're where you know in the decade that we. If we're better off. You know an hour or ten years ago in the things but I was lucky -- to put a small part in contributing to. I think people would take a look and say hey he he he gave up -- had for ten years. I hope that there are a lot better off. And then who -- before he in the that he work we've got here and and we wish him well I certainly wish the red -- well. And always consider myself part of the Red Sox gambling and -- somewhere else right now with the new account -- an enormous offensive. The are you mentioned September and the question is an obvious one how aware were you of the problems in the club cult that lead to death September collapse did you attempt to intervene and were you powerless to effect any change. Yeah we knew you know we knew something wasn't right. You know there were. Are these little small flare ups that are happening. That. That led to the meetings. You know continue meetings were encouraged -- that a meeting did. He wanted to do on opponent in in Toronto and it didn't have the effect. That it usually has. That bothered him is concerned. We encourage the players. Team meetings they did have multiple. 11. You know pretty significant one. Toward the end there middle middle late summer maybe third week of September. Thought that was gonna work it didn't and and I mean let's be realistic about this bill the losing. Is what really compounded all this and brought up so we have a team when he had a team -- a players only meeting and it seems to go really well. You know -- -- -- this -- -- because back all of a sudden. Then go out and go out there and you know you got a three run lead and expanding -- and you also let you lose the game. It's hard that. Meaning to that matters -- for the you know you do that you're trying to develop. The -- and that we just played awful baseball since September. What do you won one more game Theo would have Papelbon closes out that gamer Crawford makes that catch. Does none of this happened is is Francona the manager and you're the general manager. I don't I don't bother I don't know about about all out of the consequences that I I won't say that if we if we win one or two more games then. No one of looking at September of 2000 little letters as this. This month when you know and otherwise. Solid club became completely dysfunctional. And all these accusations -- that they're there were other periods that are similar. During the last ten years the threat. You know there were periods in 2004. That -- justice. So unproductive. And contentious. In the about it but guess what. You know we knew we were two and a half games out of allow card in late August but think their mid August is. 2004 and you know we want a -- we got hot in and we -- at 145 and eleven no distractions that 1145 whoever was this year. And it beat him and we ended up hosting. Those idiosyncrasies in the personalities and extracurricular activities and became a great bunch of guys it's so. Don't I know I know this salacious details of everything out there are. You know -- fodder to talk about and and don't get me wrong there are a lot of things that happened that shouldn't happen should never happen about but. Don't look past the losing has -- prime driver of all -- had we want a couple more games and gotten hot in the playoffs more in the World Series that would have been. You know such a fun loving. Group all these different personalities that came together in the end like it would have read a lot more like 2004. Differences we lost our last game in 2004 who -- the -- as far as whether it would affected you know people's futures. You know I can only speak for myself and and you know. I would -- Follow through with -- expressing my desire to pursue the opportunity in Chicago is that was. That was more now the product -- -- ten years here and wanted to count myself -- in new environment going forward and that had it not not. Reaction to what happened September want to. When you had that press covers with just -- and and Terry Francona. It look like a vote of confidence a look like Francona was going to have five. Obviously he didn't and he didn't get another job unlike you we didn't get a big job do you think he got a raw deal in the end. Book yeah yeah I mean I think given given everything that he contribute you hate to see it you hate the it in the end up that way here don't they I think this is a a moment in time I you know where he agrees not a big league managers up. The great broadcasting job I think I think he's gonna be you know whatever whatever great job opens up next that says. Whether it's July or August or September. We're nets next off these and many has taken jobs and in. Another great chapter in his career I think you have to appear like a Russa you know on -- up the Boston run for Tito is going to be. Bruce's Oakland years and then and you don't have a Saint Louis. Strapped in his career like where's that somewhere. Well speaking speaking of Tito edit them out of what it what you thought of the globes beast that detailed his departure revealing that. The marital issues of the pain men's and secondary part of that question is who in the organization would have had an interest in airing that kind of dirty Red Sox laundry. That -- didn't add up the pieces totally inappropriate and have no idea. Who would have an effort for Tito but it was. You know I was wrong it is an appropriate inserted at left. It left. The wrong impression about. Him and his career with a Red Sox and here that he had felt. He knows who really disappointing to see yen and hurtful for people who know or care about Tito and you know is this I would like to think that that not. The basis for her her legacy. That people think about that article that we think about what -- that the Red Sox as you know there are a lot of things and articles that are completely overblown. And and it and it sort of left the impression that he wasn't able to do his job and you is completely loses job and he did a good job we did didn't win. So I guess I think this I think it's usually good for -- You -- in the game from -- from from the press box offered it in perspective. Just like you of the year he had. When he uses special assistant to Cleveland really change the way -- game indicate he came back from. We're not here in Cleveland really rations and that it with a whole new perspective on the game that fuels and to an unbelievably Iran -- and I think. You know. He's the first few months or a year in the broadcast -- You know we'll we'll make him even better banter so it's in the lucky enough to get in next year -- while the not a great one on their hands on another great round. How irreparable is this Red Sox damage how big of a job do -- and Bobby -- have in front of them. I think it's completing irreparable I think. I think it. I think it's if anything it's you know you can if you look only forward and not backwards and not -- Now feel the pain you know what happened in September and the consequences of your team that I think could have been. You know 9800 win team and when the World Series had we played better and stay healthier. -- better September. If you can look only forward not backwards I think it's actually a positive because you have. You have every single player down that feel that something approved personally. And thought and certainly something to prove. As a team you know those sometimes it takes. Bottoming out that are really the change -- take it takes their public. Embarrassment. Too far and that extra year. To work even harder in the winner to change to -- to to be honest with yourself about what your weaknesses whether it's. Now whether it's. You know something as simple haven't to develop that their -- The can be more effective on the amount of working on over the winner or something. Like hey I need to change and need to step it up in the -- about -- and it's become a really good player and need to build -- more of a leader being honest with yourself about that means. And and thinking about that over the Leonard showing up you know as little bit more leadership skills and in spring training so I think I think it's going to be a positive vote geyser. I'm you know just from the conversation I had with -- where it after the year there so motivated even more than normal if there is going to be you know a great year. We you're you're involved in the managerial search -- when you weren't still in office supplies and your final days here you -- if you had your desk near your role we we do will surprised when they settled on Bobby Valentine was. His name top list when you were here. I think I think what happened at some point during the search process. You know they looked at -- All of the variables looked at the landscape and realize that they. Maybe they wanted a little bit more experience than there experience experience those important I think they may be that hey we need to. Place more emphasis. On experience than we had previously I think it was a you know legitimate. There's a legitimate decision to do that because I think experience is important now. Yeah they're not only -- when we had talked about it we were looking for our managers and certain qualities and we emphasize those qualities and experience while important. Was. A little bit lower on the left and I think that was just a result of you know having higher keyed up when you know yet even experienced few Major League manager. In Philly that he but. You know he wasn't. You wouldn't you most experienced guy out there and and -- hiring Tito back in 2003. Was as a result of emphasizing certain other. Characteristics. And so we -- gonna emphasize frankly those same characteristic than looking for. No we thought would be the next great manager but you know they they look more closely at it spent longer look at that and I -- and decided that experience is really important. If you're looking for an experienced guy Bobby he certainly jump off the list is as the most dynamic experience here. They feel will Papelbon be missed and if you were still in charge would you prefer -- to be your closer or move into the starting rotation. What does I don't think it's appropriate for for me to comment on on the Red Sox stuff. Quite specifically the I'll you know. Yeah I'm sure yet toppled in mr. Obama's top news you know homegrown. Police closer and you know if the decision to let him leave. -- thing to do that our noses -- it. It you can you can get in trouble sometimes given huge for your deal is to -- so you know I think it was the sound decision enough of -- say that if you look at. Look at the relievers they've brought -- You know bellies and and the -- and -- -- especially a proven. Effective reliever never been that in the dignity of these can really help in Milan and not as experienced but. Really counted and you know great combinations. Going in the stability and inducing ground balls and he should be really effective it is up. I really like what they've done -- the -- and and and -- -- Seattle and again and order direct stock is there any definitely have to be starter. But there's I think they're taking a wise approach is something that we talked about for years and what he that this looks like. That he can that he can't start and you know the ridiculous. Play as a starter and he can he can work and having total opt in and throws strikes can be just as effective as starter he's much. Much more impact for the mass. In that role and if it doesn't require writers mr. tough adjustment. Then Caribbean spring training -- both slotted back in and will be -- big big feasible. Feel speaking of huge risky deals any insights from afar now now the -- removed on the failures with Lackey and Crawford. I wouldn't have -- wouldn't call I wouldn't call Crawford was your was. Yelling. First you're the first you're absolutely failure but. I wouldn't. I wouldn't judge him as a player that from last year I think you resist. I think he almost scared too much. Thank you put too much pressure on work too hard and and this wasn't himself did it analyzes athletic ability. Translate into effectiveness the way that his whole career so I think and equality it's possible you see. Now we're really really dynamic player for a long time up there. It -- -- -- do you feel when I know you and John Henry and you have a great relationship be kind of washed his hands. And said that wasn't my idea and and kind of blamed you for the signing. But -- -- -- scene you can do that and I think you know John. Then Johnson organization first kind of guy I think those are kind of unique circumstances in the bottom line that's right -- think. John didn't want it. -- do that one has said that. But everyone else -- you know in the organization admit that everyone knew wasn't perfect but you don't you know. They'll sit out one day looking to spend that kind of money that -- where we were. Would move the court that the Red Sox hadn't played. And you know after acquiring it being in dollars. And have in the -- in the top three starters. Lester Beckett buckle under control that we have there is there as a real opportunity at a separate. The Red Sox -- lies from I think from the rest of the divisions. Her for the next four to five years that you have it at your core in place and you may just be complementing that core was. -- -- free agent -- and and and homegrown players from the farm systems those sort of broader bigger picture thing and John -- didn't want to and everyone ousted in -- and make it. The side of the big donor to power your baseball people and that -- Let's a lot of the success the last decades not in it and it bothered me. The a and real quick on black -- you have them -- -- I think we haven't seen. That helped the John -- I mean we if I look back one thing. That you we could do overs. Obviously -- that clause in the the Red Sox had a backlog in the contract weren't. At the time assigned to get the extra year for Tommy Johnson it's clear that you know there's something. That was less than perfect in the elbow and -- DL and over again I think. Mean it too much assumption that you could still pitch. Updated capabilities despite those in the elbow and then maybe at some point that Tommy John I think in reality that happens is. The fact that the elbow wasn't right when and its limited his effectiveness. Complete these -- same guy I didn't have the same. Fuel has written ball in the this incident it is -- the -- commandments fastball which is everything for and then he struggled. I think because of that though. I'm hopeful that when he when he does return from Tommy John -- this year getting away for this year will be good form -- Not only physically but mentally -- welcome back there it's -- via. Much more -- on rotation pitcher. Audio aren't you worth a lot more than nothing as compensation. Well you know I think yet that -- -- it contact and so. And history of baseball with the all the executives. That it changed scenes. Most yes many of which were on the lateral moves let alone. Those who left for promotions like I -- that the history of baseball. There's really only handfuls. Of instances much has been any compensation whatsoever. Four. For a executives though if you want if you have a look at press that you say you know well -- -- without work. Nothing -- or something that you know that sort of I think he'd probably get an opinion on that -- after caller of -- opinions but. Little more not that there's something to the bottom line when executives changed teams there is no compensation. There have been influences. -- where where there is compensation. But that that compensation then you know -- pretty reasonable and you know if you look at. When an -- felt that won two World Series. Left on lateral move from from Minnesota to to Chicago. Back in 94 in -- compensation was -- -- the thirtieth ranked prospect in in. In the 'cause system and then a little bit of cash and so. -- I think wouldn't say that should be competition here there should be because we agreed there should be compensations that that's part of negate that. I think you have to look at look at history and -- look at the patents involved and realize that there's no precedent for you know. Major major compensation here but. You know bottom line is we need we need to figure is about well both sides are still working on it because it was agreed to interrupt your work so. If you agree that -- compensations and apt to be compensation should be and -- you look at president as a guide and try to -- something that's appropriate given you know. More than century real history of of baseball. Are you trying to more this so with Larry -- Larry. I've been trying to work out and no I think normally than I could work it -- is just a little bit and it just look at for a little bit of a different perspective where. Yeah I think expectations -- are different at the at the time and we're we're trying to figure something out that. -- -- -- happy but also hit with. You know in the center of baseball precedents so I cannot that this one has been. This sort of been turned over and discussed a lot more in the media than it has between the closet better and I have had. Five conversations on it and in the last few months and you know we've gotten close food haven't gotten it done and maybe you'll need some help to get it done and I want both sides to be happy if also. You mentioned John and Tom I'm just wondered did Larry wish you luck when you walked out the door and did you leave on good terms. Yeah you know we did and you know we. Think I left on good terms with the although that is a hard time to leave because -- of what happens September sort. There wasn't enough distance every moment so including me through also wrap up -- what happened and we are so disappointed in what happened that start that process. All the other emotions that come that come with leaving but. You know I hadn't talked. As much or at all really with Larry over the years about my future and about -- did have a couple conversations that. I certainly talk more with -- -- -- about my future and about. Looking for the next challenge and about you know not want to be. As much as I loved it cared about the organization not wanted to be did you ever Red Sox forever and and thinking that he only live once -- Feel like I want to embrace it in the count at some point as much as I loved and always really care about the Red Sox the people there so. And that talked about a mortgage on. More engagement those guys at the end and it wasn't Larry but there we certainly wish each other well and -- hopefully. Editorial wrote which was from the heart reflected the good feeling. For the Red Sox and and and for -- common Larry in and then you know I left a lot of good friends lifelong friends. What I hope will be lifelong friends and people have. You know Paul the second family there in the baseball operations department. Really really hard to leave those gas is so that there was lot of emotion tied up and leaving for me and and that still is but. Pelican back has. I really think it was the right decision not only for me but for the Red Sox and and hopefully I'll -- great experience in Chicago we can win a World Series here. And -- it's not continue to thrive in and when animal Serbs. Briefly steals and were up against the clock has the -- activity on Prince Fielder surprise you and are you interested in taking those tires. Scott you know got course as as long history of being really patient in the free agent market and he's always been Buick in that order to clients to. He was signed in January and you know I think -- Rome saying the same thing about Matt Holliday -- He January to go on and -- -- -- -- huge deal with Saint Louis so usually has picked up the sleeve and he keeps interest quiet so you know what people do it happens but -- those of supply demand that the -- in this happens to -- year. When a lot of big market clubs have. First baseman under contract during the first baseman that they like and are tied to so what will do that happens some trips golf here's something now obviously prince is a great great player. We read in the on the Chicago gossip columns will butcher you big your new mansion have you been in every room already -- and used every bathroom and that was at twelve million dollar mansion under close look just like Brady and -- -- remember. You gotta move the decimal point wanted to be a little bit closer now to -- that. I'm I'm here and basically in a hotel. -- you know my. My -- family is still my elections are still back in Boston so I just been here Monday through Friday in Chicago -- basically all it does work. And go to the hotel and sleep and go work again I've been final in the Boston. On weekends. To see my wife and son and it's been nice to it to be back in Boston has yet to see my friend didn't stop mother outside the office. Now and then have a much for those so that that's part -- that delicate sort against settle in Chicago but I think we'll always. People home in Boston and you know possible is -- big part of my life. You hated being famous we know that they don't be you know the dinner -- and getting people bug in yet. Is are you famous in Chicago hit -- not going to be a lot of funny -- Well there was a lot of publicity. About about the common here which. Probably a little bit awkward for me at first but. He -- they're they're seeking to baseball scenes here is you know there's there's a lot going on in the city and I think I cannot. Let and it didn't Boston and it it picked my spot and on my dark little quarters to go hang out we're not gonna pay much attention but it also will be different sensibility years. It's kind of midwestern. Sensibility shareware. You know people are people are not that they weren't in Boston -- greatly involved in the -- of Bostonians but. I think here you know people are just you know little more mellow. And really respectful so far western human -- it's up. United I learned it was really on me in Boston I had to learn to deal that -- dead and people -- for great to me. I'm not Bostonians you know out here -- will be a different side in the future control figured out here to. What's your biggest disappointment in Boston that you didn't get heady veteran -- gender -- Philly park. Probably the that the number eleven while -- -- that goes without saying hey we we get a blender with this that field well we had a little Twitter contest today we ask all our listeners and all our followers I should say on Twitter. Two to tweak. A question that they would like to ask you and we have hundreds and hundreds of questions or compensation and your relationship -- Larry all those things they covered this is the one that I think stands out and we end with this how in the world did you teach bench Harrington to sound exactly like you have. That is so funny can people brought that up to me after event press conference -- found it identical I had I had never really thought about it just. You know what. I used to make fun of then. Are sounding. Like will bottleneck in very in the bottom of my like an atomic time and an after -- said that. Shoot you know I guess I got -- I got spice it up a little bit -- -- pulled it or energy to do then that sound like we we're really kid -- the officer. Is businesslike tone you know he went back Harvard. Do it yeah. -- degree there Leo is really. You know they drop the drop the business schools Begin. It cut toxic human beings so that I'll play that side. I admired -- as much as anyone in the game. He's he's degrading executive great leader great human being and I guess some in congress sound like someone unhappy is sounding band. Bill thanks for the time this morning we appreciate you get up early in talking with us and that may -- will see the cubs and the Red Sox. In October would that be fun. Not -- would make me happier about -- the they left it with Dennis and Callahan on AT&T hotline get it fast with four GAT and T rethink possible -- out Doc Rivers on the other side.

Term: Orchid
Orchid: Orchids are considered aphrodisiacs. This belief probably came from its physical appearance. Some orchids possess a pair of tubers that have been related to testicles. The name "orchid" comes from the Greek word for testicles, orchis. Men ate the larger tuber of an orchid when they wished to have a male child, and the smaller uber when they wanted a female child.

Jack A. Barile
A&P Supermarket Manager
Jack A. Barile, a Rockaway resident for 50 years, died on November 12.
Barile, who was born in Manhattan, served in the United States Army during the Korean War. He was a former mayor and Mayor's Committee member in Roxbury.
He is survived by his wife, Regina Waters Barile; sons, Ralph, John, James and Michael Barile; a brother, Anthony Barile; a sister, Frances Loungo; and nine grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Denis S. O'Connor Funeral Home. Interment was at Calverton National Cemetery.
Toni M. Diamond
Battled ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Toni M. Diamond, a former Rockaway resident who founded the Muscular Dystrophy Association's most successful fundraiser to benefit ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) research after she was diagnosed with the debilitating neurodegenerative disease in 2000, died at home on November 11. She was 46.
Toni, who was born in Southwick, Massachusetts on August 2, 1958, wanted to travel the world. She became a flight attendant for United Airlines and had a 22-year career during which she met Rockaway resident and co-worker, Warren Schiffer. Their relationship began during a stopover in Japan when Toni and Warren walked together in the countryside and dined at a sushi bar. They were married, and lived in Rockaway for about two years before purchasing a farmhouse colonial in Gaylordsville, Connecticut together.
During another stopover in Japan, in the fall of 2000, Toni lost sensation in her left foot for several hours. The condition returned permanently two months later and the search for a diagnosis began. After numerous doctors visits and testing Toni was diagnosed with ALS by Dr. Hiroshi Mitsumoto, Director of the Eleanor & Lou Gehrig MDA/ALS Center at Columbia University.
"Bluntly speaking, [ALS] has robbed me of my ability to speak and breathe on my own. It is a cruel and vicious disease, which is trying to kill me and destroy emotionally those around me," she would later express. "I have chosen to live, fight, and not allow this disease to define who I am."
As the disease quickly progressed, Toni focused on raising money for research, treatment and awareness. She was in the early stages of planning the Wings of Hope (later renamed MDA's Wings Over Walls Street ®) fundraiser, in March of 2001, when the disease took her ability to breathe on her own. Faced with death she chose to go on a ventilator and spent the next six months in the hospital. Warren, who was instrumental in developing the fundraiser, remained at her side.
"For the last three years, he's been spending 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year caring for her," Larry Schiffer said earlier this year of his brother's enduring devotion to Toni. "It is the maximum commitment of any human being." Larry and family friend Scott Horak co-chaired the fundraising while Warren cared for Toni.
Toni's immobility forced the couple to sell their multi-level Connecticut home and relocate to her brother Wayne's residence in Cape Cod. The basement was converted to a handicapped accessible apartment.
Despite losing her ability to speak, breath on her own and, with the exception of her eyes, move, Diamond remained "willing to put her body, life and suffering out there for others to see," Larry said. "Toni decided not to let the disease take away who she was, and she decided to fight and bring awareness and money to the researchers."
Wings Over Walls Street ® has raised more than $4 million.
Diamond is survived by her husband and best friend, Warren Schiffer; her mother, Carol Diamond of Southwick; her father, Wayne Diamond of West Palm Beach, Florida; brothers, Wayne N. Diamond and his wife Victoria of Eastham, and Christopher W. Diamond and his wife Marcia of Palm Springs, Florida; her mother in law, Alma Schiffer of Rockaway Beach; brother in law, Larry Schiffer and his wife Gail and their two daughters, Jessica and Jamie, all of East Rockaway, New York; nephews, Christopher and Nigel; a niece, Kelley; and her great niece, Chiara; and many friends.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Thomas Church, 2 East Main Street in Huntington, Mass. on Saturday, November 20, at 10 a.m. Burial will follow at St. Thomas Cemetery on Russell Road (Route 20) in Huntington. Her family will receive friends on Friday November 19, 2004 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Southwick Forastiere Funeral Home, 624 College Highway in Southwick.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Toni Diamond's memory may be made to MDA's Wings Over Wall Street ®, 1140 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 1801, New York, NY 10036.
