There's absolutely no reason for this man to be suspended for telling the truth of what's real in the 'hood. If the truth hurts, then that's too damn bad because sweeping it under the rug serves no purpose other than prolonging the problem!
A TV news reporter who blamed "anti-cop mentality" on "young black men growing up without fathers" in a shocking on-air report has reportedly been suspended according to the NY Daily News.
The comments made by News 12 reporter Sean Bergin followed Sunday's tragic shooting death of New Jersey police officer, Melvin Santiago. The suspected cop killer was described as boasting that he was "going to be famous" moments after the killing.
"We were besieged, flooded with calls from police officers furious that we would give coverage to the life of a cop killer," said Bergin at the start of his surprise editorial.
His retort to the outrage, however, was to blame it on the suspect's race.×

Gleaned from a lifetime of trial, error, and writing it down, Hawkins provides advice everyone can benefit from in short, digestible chapters.Buy Now
"The underlying cause for all of this, of course: young black men growing up without fathers. Unfortunately, no one in the news media has the courage to touch that subject," he said.
The Blaze reported that Bergin has since been suspended over his comments. The station, which serves various areas mostly in New York and New Jersey, is now reportedly mulling whether or not he'll be asked to come back.

text: Last year was the first winter in our new home. It has an lpg indoor boiler and baseboard heat. We spent over $3,000 in propane. OUCH I searched for several months for a 500 or 1000 gallon propane tank that i could use to make an outdoor boiler. Finally, i found this: It's a giant woodstove that is made from a propane tank. It's 3/8" thick! In august i began building the outdoor wood furnace. I had a 119 gallon welltrol bladder tank for a well that i picked up at auction for $20. This would serve as my firebox. It's approximately 4 feet long and 26" in diameter. I'll refer to it as "the blue tank" It is about 1/8" thickness and was rated for 150psi. The propane tank, is about 4 inches longer and 5 inches larger in diameter than the blue tank.

Cuomo remains very popular with voters
New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's approval rating remains above 70 percent as he pushes for a property-tax cap and stronger ethics rules with a month left in the legislative session, a Siena Research Institute poll said Thursday.
The Democratic governor's favorability rating is 71 percent, compared with 73 percent in the institute's poll last month.
The governor's "honeymoon with voters is five months and counting," said Steven Greenberg, a Siena College pollster.
Cuomo, 53, last week kicked off a statewide tour to urge New Yorkers to pressure lawmakers to approve a property-tax cap, tighter ethics rules for legislators and a bill to allow same-sex marriage.
The tax cap would set a limit of 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. The plan is similar to one successfully championed last year by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican.
Cuomo's approach would prohibit increases above the cap, with limited exceptions for extraordinary expenditures, unless endorsed by the local governing board and 60 percent of voters.
Seventy-one percent of voters supported the proposed tax cap and 80 percent approved the plan for tighter ethics disclosure, the poll said. Fifty-four percent favored legalizing same-sex marriage. The legislative session ends June 20.
The poll also found that New Yorkers aren't buying into the economic recovery yet. Ninety percent say the state economy is poor or fair.
The survey of 807 registered voters was conducted from May 11-17, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

TEMPLE — Texas Department of Public Safety troopers made fewer arrests during this year's Fourth of July enforcement period than in both 2013 and 2012, according to a news release Tuesday.
Troopers arrested 1,051 individuals this year from June 27 to July 7 for driving while intoxicated, while arrests in 2013 totaled 1,124.
In 2012 more than 1,200 DWI arrests were made.
Of the 2014 arrests for DWI, 219 directly resulted from a Texas Department of Transportation grant that allowed DPS to increase patrols in high-risk locations during the time periods when alcohol-related accidents usually increase. Troopers arrested 173 individuals directly as a result of the program in 2013.
In the 2012 arrests, 361 directly resulted from the increased patrols, according to DPS documentation.
During the 2014 time period, troopers also issued fewer speeding citations, seat belt/child safety seat citations and had fewer fugitive and felony arrests.
The special holiday patrols are aimed at saving lives and encouraging safe driving practices, DPS Director Steven McCraw wrote.
In 2014 more than 15,000 speeding tickets and 2,500 seat belt/child safety seat tickets were issued. A total of 626 fugitives were arrested and 564 felons were arrested in 2014.
However, more arrests were made in 2014 for citations and felony arrests than in 2012.

Rolls Royce 233 all out,
Chesterfield 146 all out
Premier League)
Chesterfield's Premier League campaign got off to a poor start with a disappointing display against Rolls Royce at Queen's Park on Saturday.
They allowed the visitors too many runs and then batted poorly to finish well short of the target.
Rolls Royce accelerated away at a rapid pace undeterred by the loss of two early wickets.
Chesterfield came back into the game with a couple of wickets from Simon Lacey including Sahd Shafiq for a fluent 52.
At 96-5 Chesterfield were well placed but Srikanth Venkatappa (46) and Mehmoon Tariq (37) saw their side through to an imposing 233 all out after 47 overs in spite of an excellent 4-50 from Paul Goodwin.
Shahzada Khan then destabilised the Chesterfield reply with three quick wickets from which they never recovered, sinking to 86-7.
A breezy partnership of 58 between Brian Gladwin (28) and Michael Deane (27) restored a degree of respectability to the total before a clatter of wickets ended the innings 88 runs short of the victory target.
Chesterfield six points, Rolls Royce 27 points
Chesterfield 2nd XI 188 for 4,
Darley Dale 1st XI 121 for 9
(Derbyshire County
League 4N)
Chesterfield opened the season with a strong batting performance at the Station Road ground as Aaron Jepson's enterprising 44 was followed by good contributions from Dean Hopkinson (32) and Matt Davison (39 not out).
The total of 188-4 proved too much for Darley Dale as they struggled against the bowling of Tim Kirk who took 4-17 in 14 meticulous overs of off-spin to leave Chesterfield with the lion's share of the points.
Darley Dale five points, Chesterfield 18 points
Chesterfield 3rd XI 147 all out,
Firbeck 148 for 7
(Mansfield Sunday League)
Runs from Aiden Marsh (38 not out) and Stuart Baddeley (28) helped Chesterfield to reach 147 all out at Firbeck on Sunday and Carl Bowling took 3-53 as they gamely defended that total before going down by a three-wicket margin.

With so much to offer, we decided to add a dedicated space for a coffeehouse and bookstore. We have soft opened our nautical inspired coffee house and bookstore during our open hours of operation facility wide. Within a few weeks, we intend to open our coffee house at 6:30 A.M. We proudly serve Illy gourmet coffee, which is recognized worldwide as one of the most delicious and well-balanced coffees internationally. In addition, we offer many handmade pastries, quick serve meals, and a smaller take-home version of our s'mores dessert. Built for the local community and still being enhanced for our final vision, come sit on our custom-made leather couch, comfy leather captain's chairs, (or at one of) our tables and help us make our coffeehouse a local community favorite hangout. With ample parking and complimentary wi-fi (Wi-Fi), the Coffeehouse at Green Dragon is a great place to congregate, work, or obtain your caffeine fix and get back to your revolution!
Our bookstore offers an impressive collection of fiction and nonfiction history-themed books by renowned authors and some of our personal favorites. In addition to other items, we have a vast collection of historical-themed DVD's, children's books and coloring books to make education a little more fun. We sell these at below MSRP as we hope to promote reading about our nation's history. The Coffeehouse at Green Dragon is truly a destination of its own, especially for those seeking to revolt against the large chain brands, and is easily accessible via its entry door located at the center of our building. Located within close distance to many residents, office parks, and the airport, the Coffeehouse at Green Dragon is a convenient and unique location for your next coffee break or place to work and be inspired.
Fun fact: Did you know that under the rule of the English, citizens of the colonies were not allowed or encouraged to protest or congregate in public? Thus, taverns and coffeehouses were the main hubs for community dialogue, dissemination of information, collaboration, and civic engagement.

Story and Photos by Beau Baconguis
When the call for volunteers to go to the Turtle Islands for the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (iCSC) came up, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Not many get to go to the Turtle Islands because of the difficult travel it entails. Sure, I had reservations about personal safety but the pull to experience the culture and the environment that these islands present outweighed my earlier concerns. In addition, I wanted to explore possible permaculture support that can be provided to iCSC's advocacy partner, Turtle Conservation Society of the Philippines.
Then there's the bigger issue of impacts of climate change on these islands. Kester Yu, Executive Director of Turtle Conservation Society of the Philippines, explained that climate change could mean gender imbalance on turtle populations as higher temperatures (upwards of 29.2C) will hatch mostly female turtles. There are also creeping signs of coastal erosion which affect houses along the coast: septic tanks start appearing and trees are being uprooted by intruding sea water.
Traveling to the Turtle Islands entailed a flight to Zamboanga City and then to Bongao, Tawi-Tawi. The more difficult part of the journey was a 20-hour boat ride on a navy cargo boat. Because it is a cargo ship, it does not have the comforts of a passenger boat but the Navy personnel tried their very best to make their more than 200 passengers as comfortable as possible.
However the challenge of the travel is rewarded by the clean, turquoise waters even in Tawi-tawi's biggest urban center, Bongao. The Islands' white sand beaches and the biodiversity are amazing. Of course, the turtles, which will be the subject of another blog, is the biggest treat for anyone visiting the Turtle Islands. The Islands also host the only mud volcano in the country and is located in Lihiman Island. There is also a unique mossy beach ecosystem in Baguan Island.
Compared to many coastal regions of the country, the abundance of seafood in Tawi-tawi is unbelievably remarkable. And because of its abundance, seafood is extremely cheap. We also had the chance to taste some of the local dishes, mostly Tausug food such as the Tiyula Itum, a beef dish cooked in burnt coconut milk and other delicacies, many made of tapul or purple sticky rice. Of course, Mindanao's marang and durian fruits were plentiful.
Most of the people we met were members of the Tausug and Jama Mapun tribes, a majority of them, Muslims, and a few Christians but living in peace together. While the Turtle Islands is a fifth class municipality, therefore, some of the poorest and disadvantaged having been neglected and abused by their leaders for decades, they remain some of the most generous people I have come to know.

It reveals the Bible as a rich source for Shakespeare's uses of myth, history, comedy, and tragedy, his techniques of staging, and his ways of characterizing rulers, magicians, and teachers in the image of the Bible's multifaceted God. This book also discloses the ways in which Shakespeare's plays offer both pious and irreverent interpretations of the Scriptures comparable to those presented by his contemporary writers, artists, philosophers and politicians. After an opening chapter comparing the Bible as a fragmented yet unified collection of 46 books with the fragmented yet unified First Folio collection of Shakespeare's 36 plays, each of the following six chapters matches a succeeding book of the Bible with a representative play. This study, though grounded in recent scholarship in Shakespeare and Biblical studies, is addressed to people with limited knowledge of either of its two subjects as well as to experts in both.

Garen Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Introduction or "Why not tank?"
this is my first guide for LoL. I have been playing Garen as main almost since I'm playing LoL (that's about 1,5 half year). But now to my guide. Surely you all have heard/read/thought about Garen as a tank. From my own experiences, he's definitely not a tank. He lacks the real CC and the only thing he's good for as tank, is to survive as four other teammates are dead and Garen so far probably only has made 1 KS due to his ulti. Sure in some cases Garen can work as tank, but not when opponents have tank like Amumu. Garen will try to initiate probably with DS to silence heavy AP, then probably spin with Courage on. I write "try" because it's where it all ends. Spinning Garen with ALL the defensive items - a big threat? Suuuuure, when Judgement is scaling so nicely with AD and not with 2k of unused HP. Nobody will focus such Garen, everyone will rip into pieces your carries and there will be nothing you can do about it. E.g. Amumu? Gap close -> stun all -> teammates have free way to finish opponents carries -> GG WP. Yes, now blahblahblah silence from DS, blahblahblah kill with ulti. Wait, I see a problem there. How do you kill someone with 60% HP only with your ulti and Judgement delaing 0 dmg in fact? Well only very hardly. Or ulti some carry at 15% HP. GREAT! You will use that gold from kill surely great in next teamfight with another bunch of metal on your body. Definitely not worth that 300g your carry needed to finish his PD. As I mentioned before, you now stay alone vs. probably 3-4 opponents. Indeed great feeling, to run into them with DEMACIAAAA!!! on your lips, but you die in 3 secs anyway and your heroic charge was for nothing, another 2 towers down and your team finally alive again can do nothing, because Rammus is banging your tower as hell and he CAN taunt your allies to attack him unvoluntarily, so enemy Vayne will headshot your little Teemo while you are dead and finishing Warmog (to prepare for Atma, so you can finally do some dmg).
So lets Spin to Win on top.
So I've said enough bullsh*t about the tanking and now to starting game. You should go definitely solo top as because you can even handle 2v1 due to your awesome sustain and unbeateble lvl 2 combo. Usually I see Garens starting with DS and J on lvl 2. And fights they start spinning and then try to silence. My way? Unleash your full power without Flash! Start with J so you can escape too early gank (attempt for FB from opponents) or make yourself spin to punish any attempt of harras on you. Lvl 2 pick DS and there begins fun. If you are used to Garen enough and you are not goin against something like Riven, you can almost surely kill. Just gapclose with DS, which deals significant dmg on first tier and spin for 3 secs. Your enemy is probably dead or going to recall. It is because he is silenced for 2.5 secs out of 3 secs of spin so you just harmlessly lowered his life to minimum at no cost. He stays on line? Gap close again, use exhaust and finish with your deadly spin. Your first kill, you can probably even handle jungler if he comes and go home fast to get your superfastest boots. Yes, you will chase 'em anytime and everytime, you will end with like 12/0/6 with happy feeling how uncontrollable dmg Garen has. As I wrote buy Boots of Swiftness, but as a second item. First should be almost always Dorans Shield. If opponents are stupid enough to send someone else than Riven/Lee Sin, pick Blade. Even against AP/AD chars go Blade, because you have to be so aggresive as you can. Shield vs similar tanky DPS who use AD (as I mentioned already - Riven). So now we have Doran and fast boots. There may still be chance, that someone will outrun you, so we make for us a Phage! Gives dmg, health, SLOW and it is so cheap to get early. Dont be afraid to buy only part of item when at home (dmg>crystal). After you have Phage, you should start saving your money to buy a B.F. Sword and Vampiric Scepter right after. You have now enormous dmg and a lot more sustain due to life steal. At top you should be now menacing beast (KEEP IN MIND - ALWAYS WARD YOUR BUSH, last thing you want is to lose your advantage over your top opponent due to some bad gank from jungle) and almost permanently threatening mid, so your jungler can either help you to literally ra*e mid, steal jungle or own bot all the time. From this point - try to finish Frozen Mallet, then do what suits you best. I put here IE, but you can go for Spirit Visage, if you feel that you could be endangered with enemy AP's or rush Atmas to own your melee opponents even more. Sometimes I go for Hexdrinker -> MoM, just in case some teamfight will go wrong and you will have to deal with more AP's then usually. As last item feel free to pick anything what fits best for that particular game. Even PD can be sometimes a nice option due to movement speed, crit (which goes on nicely with Judgement) and attack speed (not so great on him, but if you are fed, there is one word: WHATEVER =D). So to finish this chapter - FM and Shield combined with Courage gives you usually enough tankiness (or with atmas/spirit visage) to survive long in fights, kill with your deadly combos, finish weak with ulti and in case of danger run away for some jungle mobs or minions to refill a bit HP and hurry back to fight again. MOAR kills for Demacia now!
Runes, Masteries, Summoners
Runes are obvious for me. AP quints + marks. Along with your masteries, you have enough AP even for most late games (you are not focusing that 350 armor Malphite, but that little Teemo next to him, okay?) Seals for instant armor so you have a little edge on top against AD melee at early game. Glyphs for instant CDR - again, it is early game when you have to own, Garen is not that good in late game, so we have to use his potential from start. Matseries are obvious for me - so much dmg output as you can get, small lifesteal (6% with Blade at lvl 1-2 is also not bad and may help you getting FB), also CDR (Garen is cdr based only, so we want to push this number as high as possible without loosing some dmg opportuninty). Summoners are Flash - even MOAR gap closing =D and combined with exhaust? Early game 3/0/0 Garen-tee, do you get it? =D (yes, yes, it is his original joke, so what?) I write /0 because you dont need your jungler to help you. You will teach him how to gank with your super fast boots. You will be in mid in a matter of seconds and even Kassadin will think twice how far will he go, because u can gap close + silence as well as him.
Thank you for reading my guide, I hope you will enjoy playing Garen in my way. And alway remember - Tanky DPS, but not tank.

How Not to Conduct a Move
Our move date was a Monday. We had also failed to show up at many of the recent move-in move-out occassions within our ward. One plus one = we felt bad seeking help in our latest move. Starving Students seemed to be a cheap and guilt-free alternative, abuot $400 above the cost of the rental truck. Worth it, in theory.
The Students turned out to be three enormous middle-aged men who, if size is any indication, are not starving at all, nor, if age or demeanor any indication, students (unless you count that they are still learning how to function as professional movers, as they demonstrated very clearly over then next 13 hours). I suppose I was naive to actually expect students to arrive. Students of something besides slowly learning how to move, that is. They were being paid by the hour, so I realize that they could put 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 etc together, too.
They had the requesting tips skill down pat, however, with the steady reminder to Brigham: "We accept tips, you know! We accept tips, man!" Maybe they meant tips on how to pick up furniture and remove it from the home and put it on the truck. They did certainly need some tips on how to accomplish that.
2. If, at 7 pm, your to-be departed home still looks like it did that morning, choose not to call the ward Elders Quorom.
Brigham resisted my advice, to all our later doom. He didn't return to my parents' house, where we had to sleep that night, until 4am, as he had to help the starving students unload in Oakton. I figure that cosmic justice should have dictated that we get some extra help, as I spent many summers during college with my disabled vetran father and teenage sister helping people in his ward move. Maybe I used up my dues with the excessive help the Cannon family provided when we left SLC and again when we moved into our DC apt. Thanks again, you guys!
3. Choose a night when it is supposed to rain.
After loading up the truck in a supremely space-unconscious manner, the starving students raced through the rain on Route 66. Unfortunately, this was the first time they demonstrated any attempt at speed. The students ended up clipping a tree with the top of the truck and crashing with another motorist. Now will they ahve to go to driving school on top of their already burdensome course load?
4. Hang on to every piece of junk you have ever possessed.
The way I look at it, every time you move, you are essentially repurchasing your things bc it can be so expensive to relocate. Most of my stuff is second hand and crappy. Surely I could have parted with it, but I didn't. When will I learn this lesson?!
5. Hopefully, one of your children will become violently ill during the night.
Just as I was getting Willsie to sleep, I heard Andrew crying out from his room at my parents' house. Mom took Will and I went in to Andrew, only to discover his totally covered in vomit. He did not stop crying or throwing up all during the bath I put him in. He eventually fell back to sleep, poor little guy. I was so lucky my mom was there.
We are finally mostly settled, unless you look inside the master bedroom, which you won't. We invited some friends over last night, served them pulled pork and then had them help us move a couch. Internet set up, things mostly put away, we are feeling good. Despite how much I was dreading the move and how much I do miss aspects of life in DC, as soon as I walked in the door of our box-clogged townhouse, I felt a huge sense of relief.
Special and huge thanks to Mom and Dani for spending hours and hours helping out. It would have been so much worse without you!

I want to see pictures of your new place! Sounds like a terrible experience, but you must be glad to be there.
- Carolina said...
Your description of the "starving" "students" is hilarious. Congratulations on being out of your old place, and good luck getting settled in the new one. I'm tired of moving. Next time, I'm just going to sell my house with all the belongings inside and buy all new stuff, as you suggest.
- Allie said...
Worst case scenarios are so much funnier when not experience first hand. This post was so funny, that I read it all aloud to Ben who agreed we should never hire Starving Students.
I hope you are able to really get settled in to your new place. It is always so tricky to figure out how to arrange the furniture that fit so perfectly in the last place, and less perfectly in the new place. At least that has been our experience.

Cute pictures of your boys, by the way. How awful to be dealing with a sick child after all the stress of the move!

In a Nutshell
- Four bathrooms
- Private Garden
- Private parking
- Wifi
- Dishwasher
- Washing machine
- Open fire
Coombe Cottage is situated in Borrowdale the most beautiful valley in England with stunning paroramic views. The cottage which has been featured in the Sunday Times homes section has been furnished and equipped to a very high standard, and is perfect for groups looking for a characterful cottage in a stunning lakeland location.
We are delighted to add the former Lake District home of film Director Ken Russell and his wife Vivian Russell the well known garden writer and photographer. This landmark Lakeland stone property, featured in Bill Burkett's book on Borrowdale, dates back to the 1860's and has now been the subject of a major refurbishment to provide 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom accommodation in a much sought after location in the Borrowdale Valley with views to Derwentwater.
Borrowdale is arguably the most beautiful valley in England with the mighty Skiddaw presiding over Derwentwater. It has been featured in recent television programmes hosted by David Dimbleby and Griff Rhys Jones and in the series on Wainwright walks. The late Alfred Wainwright himself described Borrowdale as the fairest valley in the Lake District. It is much loved by walkers, climbers and the true Lake District enthusiast due to its dramatic, stunning scenery and is within 3 miles of Keswick with a wealth of local amenities.
Coombes Cottage sits on the roadside at the entrance to the Borrowdale Valley with superb views from each room to the fells and a superb 360 degree panorama around Maiden Moor, Catbells, Derwentwater, Skiddaw, Shepherds Crag and Coombe Fell from the upstairs living room. The Derwent River with its picturesque China Bridge and duckboards leading to the shores of Derwentwater are only a few minute walk from the house. The garden has been designed by Vivian Russell in response to Borrowdale's legendary rainfall. Topiary in box and yew predominates, designed to echo the shapes of the surrounding fells, gives the gardens good all year round colour and is an ideal place to enjoy an evening glass of wine, views to the nearby fells and to admire the birds and local wildlife that visit the garden.
The accommodation is centrally heated and comprises:
- Utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and WC.
- Breakfast kitchen with wood burning stove. equipped with oven and hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave and fridge/freezer.
- Master bedroom with views to the lake and en-suite shower room with hand basin and WC.

- Conservatory overlooking the garden.
- First floor: Open plan lounge/diner with views to nearby Derwentwater with Skiddaw and Shepherds Crag towering above, patio doors lead to a balcony with view to Coombe Fell, with TV and DVD player.
- Double bedroom with view to Coombe Fell. Bathroom with shower over bath, hand basin and WC.
- All gas, electric and bed linen included
- Cot available, sorry no highchair but your are welcome to bring your own.
- Private parking for 2 cars.
PLEASE NOTEThere is a charge of £10 to hire a cot per week.
Spa Treatments in the comfort of your holiday cottage can be added to your holiday reservation.
To ensure these are available for your holiday, these must be booked and paid in advance.
To view prices select the no. of nights and then click on your chosen date on the calendar.
We realy enjoyed our time at Coombe Cottage, Me, Geoff and the kids loved stolling through the Borrowdale valley taking in the scenery whilst Gran and Granpa loved sitting in the conservatory which overlooks the beautiful gardens. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Molly, Geoff and Family

My New Year's Prescription for You
My New Year's Prescription for You
From the Editor
I'm not a big believer in New Year's resolutions. I don't find New Year's celebrations particularly energizing, and I'm usually just trying to slog through the coldest and darkest time of the year until I can get back to working in my garden in March. So, I don't have any particular resolutions this year. But now that Janus is looking forward and I am thinking about what a hard year 2015 has been for everyone, I'll have a prescription at the end of this column.
The world seems more chaotic than usual, including the weather (today I cut what I think are the last blooming roses of the year on a 70-degree day in mid-December). Fear is rising everywhere it seems, the US political process seems much scarier than usual, and the practice of medicine is getting more and more onerous. The stresses related to medical practice alone, even without living in a crazy time, have mounted over the past decade.
One of the very problematic results of work stress is "burnout," shorthand for a complex group of various feelings and symptoms. These have been well described in a Studer Group report, Physician Burnout: Preparing for a "Perfect Storm,"1 (available free on the Internet) and include:
• Physical and emotional exhaustion
• Headaches
• Inability to concentrate
• Depression or anxiety
• Irritability
• Chronic complaining or blaming
• Explosions of anger
• Insomnia
• Drug or alcohol abuse
• Loss of passion for work and increasing cynicism
• Emotional disengagement
• (When severe) suicidal thoughts or behaviors
There's clearly an overlap with the symptoms we generally characterize as relating to depression.
The triggers for burnout have also been well described (see the Studer Group report) and include increasingly intense or heavy workload; pressure related to health care reform and/or technology changes; lack of control over time; inefficient or hostile work environment; lack of support at work or at home; isolation and lack of connection with colleagues; feeling unappreciated and unrewarded; perceiving work policies as unfair; lack of alignment between the physician's personal value system and the organization's value system; consistently putting patient care before oneself; grief or guilt because of negative patient outcomes; and financial stress.
Because many psychiatrists still practice solo—likely more than other physicians these days—isolation during practice hours may be either more of a stress or a respite from institutional practice life.
Our University Hospital Chief of Staff recently told me that she has never seen burnout higher than this past year across the entire staff—even among doctors just starting their careers. This is a major national problem. I said I'd be glad to work with her to develop a plan, since it seems no one has found anything that has had a major beneficial impact. Finding workable remedies has become urgent.
A recent online posting from Washington Post reporter Lena H. Sun2 illustrates that we have a national crisis percolating around physician burnout. Ms Sun cites a 2014 Mayo Clinic/American Medical Association3 study that found "higher measures on the classic signs of professional burnout" than in a similar 2011 study. More than half the doctors reported being "emotionally exhausted and ineffective." A similar number reported loss of meaning in their work. The 2011 study found that burnout criteria were met in 45% of doctors compared with 54% in the 2014 study.
Ms Sun also reported that a JAMA analysis revealed that almost a third of residents met positive screening criteria for burnout or met some depression criteria during their training.4 One of the factors cited was the diminishing time available for direct patient care and increased computer-based documentation requirements. That problem of course is hardly limited to new physicians. Many of our staff report that as little as 10% of their clinical time is spent in direct patient interaction because of the time required for electronic records.

Why do I pay for a 2 day rental when I simply asked when the most convenient time to pick up the 4 hour rental from this location. I could have picked it up Saturday at 8 am or when they closed on Friday evening. The manager said Friday night would be best. I had the truck back at the location by 3:30 in the afternoon! This should have been a 1 day rental at $ 39.95 and the mileage of 11 miles !!!! I will get my credit card company to reverse the charge.

There's not enough room in this space to tell you how disappointing this location was.
Heath H. en
The floors were a little dirty, but with all the rain we have experienced lately I would expect that. Caused an issue on the turn in app when I noted they were dirty and it tried to charge me a 25$ cleaning fee. The rep at the tire in location helped me with the issue and I was able to complete the process in a few minutes.

Great location and easy to find. Very nice employee that helped me with finding a few places in the area while we returned the equipment.

Despite my having ordered a truck and prepaid, Check-in was slow and tedious until a U-haul employee arrived and saved the day. Ordered 2 dozen blankets, but only recived 22. Had to make a second trip for the others.

My sister Cindy passed away a few weeks ago. She was younger than me. Only 55.
Cindy had been living in a nursing home for the past 3 years. Slowly, she seemed to fade away. We were told that it all came down to clinical depression and PTSD from the childhood sexual abuse we both had suffered.
Cindy lost well over 100 pounds during those 3 years. She was unable to talk or walk. Unable to use the phone or computer. She had to be fed and bathed. She had bedsores.
55 years old.
I lived over 1600 miles away from Cindy and could not visit. Every week for the past couple of years, I mailed her a little note. I didn't want to forget to send them so I put a weekly reminder on my phone. I just wanted Cindy to know that I was thinking of her and praying for her. I wanted her to know that I loved her.
I was finally able to visit my sister in September ...

A Note to My Sister

The video, posted on the website of BFMTV, shows the former International Monetary Fund chief leaving the hotel lift and checking out of the Manhattan Sofitel at 12.27pm on the day of his arrest, May 14.
Hotel maid Nafissato Diallo claims he sexually assaulted her 20 minutes earlier.
New York prosecutors dropped the case against Mr Strauss-Kahn, who had been tipped to win next year's French presidential election, after Miss Diallo was deemed an unreliable witness.
The 62-year-old has admitted that a sexual liaison took place, insisting, however, that it was "consensual but stupid".
Contrary to police comments at the time of his arrest, Mr Strauss-Kahn appears calm as he pays the bill and not a man attempting to "flee" the premises. Some 45 minutes after she alleged she was assaulted, at 12.51pm, his accuser is seen in the lobby with a staff member and security employee Derek May, who phones an unknown person.
At 12.53pm, the hotel's chief engineer Brian Yearwood is seen leaving the lift. He, Mr May and a third person are then seen in a corridor with Miss Diallo.
She shows no external signs of distress or shock, calmly sitting on a bench for eight minutes before the men decide to speak to her.
At 13.04pm, she then appears to act out what she said Mr Strauss-Kahn submitted her to with the help of a female employee for security chief, Adrian Branch, who is off camera.
She is left alone until 13.33pm when Mr Branch is then seen and heard calling police to inform them of "sexual assault" on one of the hotel "guests".
Then Mr Yearwood and Mr May can be seen briefly celebrating in other images, with one lifting the other off the floor and doing a dance step.
American journalist Edward Jay Epstein, who had viewed the images previously, claimed the pair had enacted a "victory dance" lasting three minutes in an article that reignited claims Mr Strauss-Kahn had been set up. In fact, the celebrations lasted 13 seconds.
The hotel has said their euphoric outburst was unconnected with the alleged attack, that they "didn't really remember what it was about" but that it could be related to a sporting victory. However, there were no events at that time.
Reacting to the video, Michel Taubmann, Mr Strauss-Kahn's official biographer, said that it "proves that the official version of events was false".
A spokesman for Accor, the group which owns Sofitel, told BFMTV: "The idea that these videos establish the implication of Accor in a plot is nonsense."

We're coming up to that time of year again when the temps drop and the snow starts blowing. At DigandFlow.com we've got one thing on our minds… shredding. Here in the southwest of Montana we ride hard all season long and that means that when we're looking for new gear we do our homework and put it through the wringer year after year. Another thing about this part of the world is that we see a long winter and it gets cold, really cold. That's why we've come up with the best base layer for snowboarding, so you can stay out longer and ride harder. Dropping!
What to Consider – Material
Snowboarding is different from skiing in, well a lot of reasons but one in particular is how you keep warm. When we started to think about the best base layer for snowboarding we had to take into account several different aspects.
Snowboard base layers are super important to enjoying all of your day on the mountain or even if you're spending a long day outside or around town. The old adage of "Cotton Kills" stands true here too, you don't want rely on cotton sweatpants to keep you warm all day under your snow pants.
- Synthetic: Quick drying, super light and often really reasonably priced synthetic is a great option. One downside is that it can smelly, fast. Don't be surprised if you're washing your base layers really frequently.
- Wool: Au natural baby! Wool regulates body temperatures much better than synthetic long underwear, it's naturally anti-microbial, meaning you can ride your heart out without smelling like it. Downside, it's going to cost you more than synthetic and you've got to care for it the right way.
- Cotton: Put it down Jerry, put it down and walk away. Jerry?! NO COTTON!
In case you need to see some excellent Jerry material stop over at Jerryoftheday.net and check out their blog. I promise you will immediately feel better about yourself.
Wool vs Synthetic Base Layers
Merino Wool Base Layers
New Zealand Merino wool has long been the gold standard of long underwear base layers. Icebreaker and Patagonia are known for their high performing Merino layers and are very popular choices among winter sports enthusiasts.
- Super odor resistant (wool is naturally antibacterial)
- Softer, warmer and (in my experience) longer lasting than polyester
- Very fast drying
- More expensive
- Requires separate laundry load to keep it nice and some requires hang drying
- Some find it uncomfortable
Synthetic Base Layers
Like a merino wool base layers, synthetic have their pluses and minuses.
- More moderately priced
- Lightweight and dries even faster then Merino
- Not quite as warm as wool
- Gets smelly really quick
Either synthetic or wool materials can help keep you dry and warm on the slopes. Materials that don't wick sweat or that hold onto moisture like cotton are a surefire way to get cold in a hurry.
What to Consider – Type
Personal preference and weather conditions will play a huge role is choosing the best base layers for the winter. Even the type of riding you're doing will effect which base layer you choose. Here are a few different options to consider when looking for the best base layer for snowboarding.
- Long Sleeve Top: Great for colder conditions with total coverage up top.
- Short Sleeve Top: Best for warmer days when the suns out and you're transitioning to spring riding.
- Full Length Bottom: These are the ones you're most familiar with and are the go-to option for cold days.
- Half Length Bottom: Think long underwear capris. These will typically stop around the calf are a great option for keeping your base layer out of your boots.
- One Piece: Yes! The onsie of long underwear is the best insulating piece you can get. With no break in the fabric from top to bottom you can seal out any drafts or errant breezes that find their way inside you outer layer.
What to Consider – Weight
Different weights allow for maximum customization of your insulation and let you build a bomb-proof base layer setup.
- Light: These base layers are best for, you guessed it, warmer days. Another thing you can do is add them as a base layer to a base layer for the ultimate insulation.
- Mid: This is what we typically find ourselves in when we head out. Heavy enough for getting started in the morning but not so much that you're going to be overheating in the afternoon. Think of these as you bread and butter.
- Heavy: If you run cold and need some extra oomph to your snowboarding base layer then these are the way to go. These types of base layers are big, thick, and heavy and should only be used on the coldest days.
Base Layer Fit
It doesn't matter if you've got the best base layer ever made if it doesn't fit properly then it's not going manage your body temperature nearly as well as a properly fitting one. These are some things you should consider when buying a great snowboarding base layer.
- The top base layer should be worn fairly tight and cover the important areas of your upper body. Remember, it's important that these fit snug so the base layers can do their job.
- When purchasing new base layers you should buy the same size that you normally wear. Don't think you need to size down because these need to be tight, they're already cut to fit the way they need to this includes one-piece designs.
- When buying leg base layers use the same as your underwear size.
Now that we've got a good idea of the different types, materials and weights lets dive in and take a look at our selection of the best base layer for snowboarding!
Best Base Layer for Snowboarding – Wool
Our gear room, closet and dresser drawers are all shoved full of Icebreaker stuff. From hats to t-shirts to jackets to long underwear we've been wearing this stuff for a while now and believe when I say, it works.

Best Base Layer for Snowboarding – Synthetic
Patagonia is a name synonymous with outdoor clothing. Having been around since the early days of outdoor action sports they've had the time to really get things figured out. They're about putting out great gear, clothes and doing right by the earth. I'm a proud owner of Patagonia items and have been for most of my life.
Patagonia's Mission Statement
Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis.
Their synthetic base layers are some of the best in the game and right along side of our Icebreaker base layers we've got Patagonia in our closet. Their Capilene is made exclusively from recycled materials, is super warm and really comfortable next to your skin. I've owned my heavyweight Capilene bottoms for 4 years now and bust them out on the really cold days, they still look brand new.
Best Base Layer for Snowboarding – Men's Bottoms
Patagonia Capilene Thermal Weight Bottoms
I have to feature them because I have them and love them! These thermal long underwear are the perfect weight for cold days on the hill. The Capilene is super comfortable and can last for a few days without getting super stinky.
The brushed fleece interior is super comfortable, like all day in the snow, lift line, bar, and couch comfortable. I don't really take them off in the winter…

This is a huge advantage if you need to cool down on a boot pack or just sitting in the sun having a beverage. If you can regulate your heat you're going to be a lot happier.
The grid fleece interior of their Capilene Thermal Weight base layers give you the greatest warmth with the greatest breathability of any base layer in their lineup.

One of the biggest differences between the Patagonia Capilene top and Men's Icebreaker tops is the cut. The Patagonia will be much casual fitting than the Icebreaker which tends to be very fitted.

Best Base Layer for Snowboarding – Men's/Women's One-Piece
Patagonia Capilene Thermal Weight One-Piece Suit
When it comes to the best for retaining as much heat as possible you want to limit the ways that heat can get out. The biggest way to do is by limiting the amount of breaks in the fabric. Less seams, less heat loss.
Patagonia's One-Piece Suit is perfect for those cold days on the hill when you need to conserve as much body heat as possible. Another reason the one-piece is a great option is for those deeper days. If you're riding powder snow inevitably finds it's way into your gear, if you wipe out the chances are even great that you're going to get a snowy surprise down your back.

The hood and high neck are also super nice for those cold days where layering and limiting exposure are important. Couple the high neck with a Buff or gaiter and you're going to be super dialed for anything Mother Nature throws your way.

In own experiences it's ideal to have a few different options for when you head out to ride. Being able to customize your insulation can be super beneficial and help to keep you dry and warm all day.

USA Today illustrates the dangers of cosmetic surgery being performed by individuals who are not poperly trained. These examples reinforce the importance of checking the credentials of your prospective surgeon and your prospective surgical facility. A good rule of thumb is to insure that the surgeon you chose has privileges to perform the proposed surgery at a local hospital. See the article at the following link. USA Today (9/14)
Dr. Fleming is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery which is the "gold standard" in plastic surgery certification. Dr. Fleming only performs surgery in fully accredited hospitals and surgery centers and uses board-certified anesthesiologists.

Firstly, working with Cronenberg again. And it's always hard to find a drummer, especially small towns. On the real story behind his relationship with Lohan: During the drama I got a firsthand lesson how tabloids spin a story. festival organizers said a statement to EW.

Looking at the odds, Atonement is unlikely best picture because its director wasn't nominated. This is either because he's got a big appendage or he's unable to form a sense of shame, as shown when he continually forgot to show remorse for smacking Rihanna the face.

Bastille Day – Georgetown, 1979
On 14 July 1979, Jesuit priest, Fr Bernard Darke was killed as he photographed what ought to have been a peaceful demonstration in Georgetown, Guyana. Malcolm Rodrigues SJ describes the political unrest leading up to and following the granting of independence to British Guyana, which provided the circumstances for Fr Darke's death.
In a time of rigged elections and 'constitutional dictatorship', how did the Church promote peace and denounce injustice, particularly through the Catholic Standard newspaper?

The plot to ensure that everybody becomes an employee of some large organisation (preferably the state) for their 'protection' gathered pace this month. If the announcement that Economic Work Units (aka mothers) are to be required to hand their 2 year olds over to some state sponsored indoctrination centre wasn't enough, there was the disappointing, but largely inevitable, result on the IR35 'Dragonfly' case.
Once again Freelancers are going to have to look closely at the way they operate and review their relationships with clients if they don't want a 'a-posteriori' bill from HMRC.
Conspiracy theorists will have enough to go on at this point. Thanks for reading. Those of you who want the details - read on.
The New Rules
I won't go into the gory details. There is plenty of analysis elsewhere: the best being:
Dragonfly appeal by Roger Sinclair at Egos
Dragonfly shot down in cold blood by Steve Gratton on AccountingWeb
What the new 'clarification' boils down to is this:
- if you do work for somebody and get paid for it that is enough to to satisfy one condition of being an IR35 employee. You are essentially assessed against a Day Casual Worker and not a Full Time Employee.
- That you determine what and how (and probably where in these days of homeworking) the work is done is no longer sufficient. You have to have the right to do more than a similarly qualified professional employee would ever be allowed to do.
- if you allow yourself to become part of the furniture you will become an IR35 employee regardless of what is written in any documents.
- intention is nothing: perception is everything; what the client employees see you as is probably definitive.

Income received by non-residents from real estate assets located in France (rental income or capital gains on sale of property) weremade subject to "social contributions" at a rate of 15.5%, the same rate applied to resident persons, pursuant to Article 29 of Law n° 2012-958 of 16 August 2012, the Amending Finance Law for 2012.
This provision was very quickly questioned on the basis that nonresidents, who do not derive any benefits from the French social security system, should not have to contribute to financing such system (it is worth noting that income from French securities of non-residents is not subject to the social contributions of 15.5%, whereas French residents are subject to these social contributions).
Nevertheless, the French Constitutional Court approved this provision on the basis that these social contributions do not constitute charges which directly give access to social security benefits and
therefore fall under the category of universal taxation (Constitutional Court, 9 August 2012 n° 2012-654 DC).
The matter was brought before the European Court of Justice on the basis of Regulation n° 1408/71/EC which provides that persons residing in the European Union cannot be subject to social security contributions in more than one Member State. Such contributions, if they were deemed to constitute contributions to the French social security system, could therefore be contrary to European Union law.
In its judgment of 26 February 2015, the Court of Justice ruled that the social contributions of 15.5% levied on income from real estate assets have a direct and relevant link with the social security system where they directly contribute to financing mandatory French social security schemes. In consequence, such social contributions fall within the scope of Regulation n° 1408/71/EC, which provides that persons shall only be subject to social contributions in a single Member State, which is generally the
Member State where such person pursues his or her professional activity, save for certain exceptions.
The deduction of social contributions from real estate income received by persons resident in another Member State of the European Union and who do not pursue any professional activity in France is therefore contrary to European Union law.
Action – Persons resident in another Member State of the European Union can therefore bring proceedings to recover social contributions which were deducted from income realized on real estate assets located in France. Such proceedings can only relate to real estate income received in 2013 and 2014, given the applicable limitation periods.
