This question nags me: Will my grandchildren think I did enough to prevent runaway global warming and create a better world for them and their children? This is not my time to stop and rest. This is my time to clean up the messes we've made and build a good world, not a better world, a good world.

Origin What are the origin of the deity and the temple Vyaghrapuri Mahatmya of the Bhargava Purana briefly to the history and divinity of the deity. Khara, an asura of the Ramayana, attained yogic powers through years of severe penance. At the instance of 'Malyavan' the preceptor of the Asuras, he propitiated Lord Nataraja at Chidambaram. Moved by his devotion the God granted him several boons and also three Sivalingas.

Have you ever gone outside at night and just looked up at the stars? They're beautiful, aren't they? Did you know that we can see about 2,000 stars with just our eyes? If we had a telescope, which is a thing we can look through to see stuff that's really far away, we could probably see about 6,000 stars.
Astronomers, the people who study stars, say that there are thousands of millions of stars in our universe. All the stars in the sky look shiny and white to us, but if we could see them close up, we would see that stars are different colors. A star's color depends on how hot it is. The hottest stars are a really light bluish-white color, like this one. The cooler stars are a reddish-orange color, like this one. There is a very important reason why we're talking about stars today.
in our Bible passage today, we learn about the wise men. There was a bunch of wise men, and they studied the stars. One day, they saw a certain very special star, and they decided to follow it. This special star marked the place where Jesus was born. When the wise men saw baby Jesus, they knew He was the Son of God. They bowed down to Him and worshiped Him, then they gave Him very expensive gifts. The wise men were the very first people to ever worship Jesus.
If it hadn't been for the very special star, the wise men never would have found Jesus. They needed this special star to guide them to the place where Jesus was born. But we don't need a star to guide us to Jesus, do we? The Bible says that when we ask Jesus to be our Savior, Jesus' spirit comes into our hearts. We don't have to go looking for Him. He is always with us. Let's pray today that Jesus' spirit will come into our hearts.

"The study is based on an evolutionary model of humans as social beings in which the motive to form and maintain attachments and interpersonal relationships is in part genetically determined," Cacioppo said. As a result, people are born with the capacity for spirituality and humanity, Cacioppo said. The work will explore how this inclination to see a spiritual understanding, a relationship with God, varies among individuals because of social and environmental influences.
Measurable effects of strong spirituality, regardless of religion, are improved physiological functioning, health and well being, especially in difficult times, Cacioppo said. Those benefits of belief in God accrue over time and are an important aspect of dealing with aging, he said.
Subjects in the NIA project--the Chicago Health, Aging and Social Relations Study--have been asked a battery of questions related to their health, exercise habits and emotions, as well as church attendance and religiosity.
For that study, the researchers began a series of day-long interviews and medical tests that began in 2002 and will continue through 2006. The study includes 230 African Americans, Hispanics and whites between the ages of 50 and 67 from Chicago and the suburbs. The researchers are gathering extensive medical histories, health assessments, health care utilization measures, health behaviors measures, sleep quality indices, personality measures and life events assessments.
The Templeton grant will permit researchers to do these additional research projects:

Published: 9/13/2012 10:33 PM | Last update: 9/14/2012 10:10 AM Gagnebin leads defense against RockhurstJarod Gagnebin dreamed of the day he'd be a starter for Hutchinson High.It started when he watched his older brother Devin Gagnebin, a second-team all-Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League tight end for the Salthawks in 2009, play for Hutch.
Sure Gagnebin played last season, filling in for injured defensive end Austin Ketchum, but he's a full-fledged starter this year, filling the strong-side end spot for Hutch's front four this year. "I've been looking forward to this for a long time," said Gagnebin, a senior. "My brother graduated in 2009 and I remember going to all of his games and watching them for all the years that he was there and watching it from the stands and knowing that I'd be down there one of these days." For Gagnebin, that time is now. Through Hutch's first two games - a 48-14 rout of Salina Central and a 56-0 blowout over Campus - he's been a vital cog on the defensive line. The 6-foot, 220-pounder was named Hutch's defensive player of the week following a 10-tackle performance against the Mustangs that included seven solo stops. Last week against the Colts, he notched a tackle-for-loss in abbreviated action when Hutch jumped out to a 35-0 lead after the first quarter and the reserves were sent in soon after. Gagnebin - who plays alongside juniors Nathan Fairbanks and Dalton Luce and seniors Kolton Blea, Trae Boese and Chase Marr on the defensive line - has emerged as one of, if not the, preeminent playmaker for the Salthawks' D-line in the early stages of the post-Najahaun Tipton-Wylie era. "He's an experienced guy having played a lot last year," coach Randy Dreiling said. "He's gotten so much bigger and more powerful. ... He gives us a dominating force on defense." His ascendance from contributor to difference-maker could not come at a better time for Hutch. Safety Tanner Higgins went down with a shoulder injury against Campus, making him the fifth defensive starter - along with linebacker Tyler Cox, Blea and defensive backs Shaquille Henderson and Cody Miller - shelved for this weekend's prime-time game against Kansas City, Mo., power Rockhurst. Gagnebin will be among the healthy collective that needs to stabilize a thinning defense hit hard by injury attrition. Dreiling needs them to step up not only to cover those losses, but to elevate their play in the fifth installment of Hutch's out-of-state rivalry game. "Everyone's got to step up against Rockhurst," Dreiling said. "Everyone's got to win individual battles." Gagnebin and Co. face a tough task against a talented Hawklet offense that has size and strength up front, particularly with 6-4, 280-pound Nebraska-commit Zach Hannon at tackle. Getting ready for Rockhurst means the defense needs to brings its proverbial lunch pail to work, tonight at 7 p.m. in Gowans Stadium "We're just all going to have to do our jobs ... and come out (today) ready to play," Gagnebin said. Rockhurst, though off to a 1-2 start, is battle-tested. They won their opener 20-12 against East St. Louis (Ill.) before falling to Bentonville (Ark.) and Blue Springs (Mo.) in consecutive weeks. All three opponents are among the best in their respective states. The Salthawks hope to carry the torch for Kansas while seeing how they stack up against an out-of-state opponent already measured against other states. "We look at (Rockhurst) as one of the best teams in Missouri, so we get to compare ourselves with teams around the nation," Gagnebin said. That chance - which comes with excitement more akin to a playoff atmosphere - is part of what makes the rivalry special. Players and coaches talk about the game before the season even starts. And the buzz surrounding the game only heightens the anticipation to a fever pitch. "It's high in the weight room," Gagnebin said of the excitement level for the game. "In school, everyone's talking about it." Beating Rockhurst is part of the seniors' checklist for this season. Along with their pursuit to clinch Hutch's eighth state title in nine years, Gagnebin said the seniors want a win over the Hawklets - something only his brother's class in 2009 accomplished in the rivalry's four-year history. Now, he's out to help the team capture what's dreamt of for years.
"I know this senior class, (our) eighth grade year (was) when this series first started," Gagnebin said. "We were all looking forward to it for when we were going to be seniors because it was going to be a big game and something really to play in."

text: Chapter 4 - And forgives the transgression of the remnant of His heritage: The Holy One, Blessed Be He, conducts Himself towards Israel in this way: He says, "What shall I do for [the people of] Israel, who are My relatives? I have the Obligations of My own flesh (she'er bassar) towards them!" For the people of Israel are the spouse of the Holy One, Blessed Be He, and He calls them, 'My daughter,' ,My sister," and "My mother." As our sages explain the phrase "the children of Israel, a people dose to Him" (Tehillim 148:14), "He has an actual blood relationship with them, and they are His children." This, too, is the meaning of the words "the she'erit [remnant] of His heritage," implying she'er bassar, a blood relationship. In the final analysis, the children of Israel are G-d's inheritance. Says the Holy One, Blessed Be He: "if I punish them, the pain is Mine!" as it is written, "In all their trouble, He is afflicted..." (Yeshayahu 63:9). The verse is written (with an aleph), implying that the pain of Israel extends to the level of keter called peleh, and how much more so to the level of the dual visage; tiferet and malchut, through which the world is mainly run [But] the verse is read with a vav, signifying that the pain is His. This is also the intention of the verse "...His soul became impatient with the misery of Israel" (Shoftim 10:16), for He cannot bear [the Jews',] suffering and disgrace, since they are the she'erit of His heritage. A person should conduct himself the same way towards his friend, since all [the people of] Israel are blood relatives, being that all souls are united, and each person has a part of all others. This is why an individual who carries out the commandments can't compare to a multitude of people who do so, since they all complement one another. And thus, our sages explain regarding one who numbers among the first ten to arrive at the synagogue that even if one hundred come after him he receives a reward equivalent to [the combined reward of] them all. One hundred is to be understood literally, since the souls of each of the first ten are included in each other, so there are ten times ten, equaling a hundred. Thus, the ten include a hundred souls. Therefore, even if a hundred people come after one of the first ten, his reward equals all of theirs. This is why "'all [the people of] Israel are guarantors for one another," since each individual Jew has a portion of all the others.When one individual sins, he blemishes not only his own soul but the portion of him that every other Jew possesses. It follows that his fellow Jew is a guarantor for that portion. Hence, all Jews are family, and one should therefore desire the best for his fellow, view his neighbor's good fortune benevolently, and cherish his friend's honor as his own - for they are one and the same! For this reason, too, we axe commanded to 'love your fellow Jew as yourself" (VaYikra 19:18) - and it is proper that a person desire the well-being of his fellow, and he should never speak ill of him or desire that evil befall him. Just as the Holy One, Blessed Be He, desires neither our disgrace nor our suffenng, because we are His relatives, a person should not desire to see his fellow's disgrace, suffering, or downfall. Rather, a person should be pained by it as if he himself were the victim. The reverse applies to his fellow's good fortune.

The Candidate Leadership Programme is designed specifically to identify, develop and support some of the best candidates from under-represented groups within the Party.
The Programme contains 40 talented, motivated individuals who can demonstrate the combination of passion, drive and commitment that it takes to win a Parliamentary seat in the next General Election.
More than two-thirds of participants are female and a third are from BME backgrounds. Furthermore, a significant number of participants are disabled, openly LGBT, under 30 years old and/or from a lower socio-economic background.
Commenting, Nick Clegg said
"The Leadership Programme is now ready to start changing the face of the Liberal Democrats. For too long, our party in Westminster has been too male and too pale.
"If we want to represent all of the country then we must have all of the country represented in us. That is why the Leadership Programme has sought out talented Liberal Democrats from across the country to ensure that over the coming years we will together change the makeup of the party.
"I know this excellent Leadership Programme will support them as they seek selection for a seat all the way until they sit in the House of Commons. We will be hearing a lot more from them in the months and years to come."
'I believe that the Leadership Programme is an important step towards increasing the diversity of our Parliamentary Party. Having been a target seat candidate myself, I know that this level of support is invaluable when it comes to getting selected and elected. We have attracted some of the best potential candidates and invest significantly in their personal and political development from now all the way to the General Election.'
'During my campaign to become Party President, I made it clear that our lack of women MPs, MPs from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, and MPs with disabilities is completely unacceptable. I pledged to make diversity a key priority, and commit personal time and energy in this area of work. I asked Baroness Brinton to oversee a review of how we could increase the diversity of our Parliamentary candidates, giving those from under-represented groups the best possible opportunity to succeed. This Leadership Programme is a direct result of that process - I welcome it wholeheartedly.'
'The Leadership Programme is a fantastic initiative which targets the right support at the right people. I was proud to move the motion at Spring Conference in Sheffield which led to it's creation, and the support for this Programme from all parts of the Party was overwhelming!'

To the Editor: Reader praises decision to increase vocational offerings
By: Clarence Badger, Pine Journal
To the Editor:
I am very impressed by the Cloquet School Board for its commitment to vocational education. With the addition of one more vocational teacher, Cloquet has taken an important step in helping students who have been overlooked by the emphasis on college prep courses over the past decades. It is an important commitment by the board in these challenging fiscal times.
The real winners of this addition to the 2013-14 school curriculum will be the students. I hope parents realize the importance of the school's commitment to provide learning opportunities for all students, not only those headed to a four-year college. There are many careers which pay excellent wages if students are willing to look at all the future job openings available to them — many within the immediate area.
The vocational programs were an integral part of the school curriculum in the past. They gave thousands of students an opportunity to learn special skills, skills that could be used for obtaining excellent jobs and/or entrance into vocational schools and college programs.
All vocational programs — once funded directly by the government — now rely on local school funding. So, this is a big investment and commitment by ISD 94.
It is equally important that the community, parents and students also make a commitment and support the vocational programs. The local community and industries can help with continued support and by promoting and hiring locally qualified personnel. Parents can help by supporting, encouraging and discussing with their children ALL the various job opportunities for future work including college, vocational schools, trade schools or on-the-job training. For their part, students have to take advantage of these courses and appreciate the school district for providing them.
ISD 94 is now willing to create these great opportunities for students by teaching skills, and — more importantly — to build an interest in students minds about a variety of future opportunities. I hope the parents and students take full advantage of this great opportunity in school next year and the years to come.
Clarence Badger, Cloquet

This mainly stretches your groin and upper inner-thigh area, but also makes some demands on your lower back. It is often called the butterfly stretch or frog stretch because of the shape that your legs make when you perform it.
Sit down with your back straight up (don't slouch, you may want to put your back against a wall) and bend your legs, putting the soles of your feet together. Try to get your heels as close to your groin as is comfortably possible. Now that you are in the proper position, you are ready to stretch. For the passive stretch, push your knees to the floor as far as you can (you may use your hands to assist but do not resist with the knees) and then hold them there. This can be hard on the knees so please be careful. Once you have attained this position, keep your knees where they are, and then exhale as you bend over, trying to get your chest as close to the floor as possible. Hold this stretch for about 20 seconds.
The isometric stretch is almost identical to the passive stretch, but before you bend over, place your hands on your ankles and your elbows in the crooks of your knees. As you bend over, use your elbows to "force" your knees closer to the floor while at the same time pushing "up" (away from the floor) with your thighs to resist against your arms. Once again, please be careful since this can place considerable strain on the knees.

Imma go Web 2.0 on… your… arse. It doesn't really work with an Australian accent.
Posted by Richie on June 19, 2010
Look who it is!
This is technically The Irate Gamer's fault. I'll explain. The Irate Gamer is an inexplicably popular YouTube celebrity who earns his keep by getting angry at video games, despite not knowing anything about video games and being incapable of convincingly feigning anger. He also plagiarises a lot of his material from other reviewers.
Some people were, understandably, pissed off about this. They talked about it, left comments and got into arguments over it, but it was all quite vague. It wasn't until people started making their own videos which pointed out his stolen material and lack of knowledge in no uncertain terms that the backlash against him really got moving.
So, this is me applying the same principle to the many, many Men's Rights channels and videos that have cropped up on YouTube over the past few years. No leaving comments, no pressing "dislike", no grumbling, no attempts to actually engage them in discussion, just destroying their credibility in a YouTube friendly format. There's nothing in it anyone reading this won't have heard before, mind, but at least it's more watchable than any of Paul Elam's original videos.

Ahh, I loved that Subscribed under my account Phillydogger. Made me chuckle a couple of times, and was a nice big dose of good sense. I really hope you make more of these.
I would suggest speaking up a bit next time, though – that, or maybe raising the volume on your parts. -
June 19, 2010 at 2:18 pm
awesome video Richie
"I'm sorry" – was the best part of the vid
"oppression has some pretty obvious signs…like death"
right…and on a similar note, only murder and violent physical assault are actually bad/illegal things to do.
and regarding the rest of that rant – so, wait, women were never slaves?
June 19, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I can't imagine how hard it is to actually sit through those videos without your pre-packaged comments but if you can make please make more of these.

It sure would be interesting if MRAs ever bothered to substantiate any of their assertions. They don't have to though, because they're male and white, and therefore objective authorities on everything.
June 22, 2010 at 8:21 am
Totally excellent, good show! This is really a perfect refutation of Elam's pap. Of course, we already knew he was full of shit going into this, but I really appreciate that you brought to light a few extra instances of oppression that I was completely unaware of, like that whole vaginal feeding thing (WTF).
Also, totally unrelated, I went into a completely fresh rage when I saw that "State of the Union" cartoon in your video. Urgh, that's a whole new level of shit. I used to work as a copy editor on a newspaper that ran that cartoon and it was maddening to see that drivel every day. Amusingly, the cartoonist is a complete lazy hack in addition to being completely misinformed about just about everything. He constantly reused art, including that strip you included in your vid. Not to toot my own horn, but scroll down here and you'll see what I mean.
Also, I really hope you're planning to do more of these. I really like this direction!
June 22, 2010 at 8:30 am
Wow I think that's the first time I've ever actually seen somebody argue out loud that women's Suffrage was a bad thing.
a system where the elite and their womenfolk held most people in slavery
The old 'citizens of earth and their wives" dealio. It always reveals so much about who qualifies as real humans and who's 'other.' And the "womenfolk" who weren't (officially) enslaved themselves, being legally disallowed (by men) to own property, weren't actually capable of enslaving anybody if they wanted to.
That's as far as I could get.
June 22, 2010 at 8:32 am
eh – the 'elite and their womenfolk' quote was taken from that antimisandry page.
Seriously. That's a stunning piece of dipshittery right there. -

>I actually stole it from your livejournal in the first place.
In that case, I'm actually flatterd! XD
We had some similar problems with front page photographs back at our paper, thoug the best one was when there was some story about, I dunno, cattle farming or something and we didn't have a photo, so we just cropped a picture of a cow into a mugshot and wrote the name as "cow." I think someone actually got fired over that.

He's full of shit, but his videos are just plain NOT INTERESTING. Maybe it's 'cause I'm ADD, but I couldn't sit through a long ass video in that format on an actually awesome topic. BREAK IT UP A LITTLE PLZ.
(And that's why I could sit through your vid just fine :P)
June 27, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Fantastic! Actually made me lol- Im so used to being blind with rage that this was nice!
On another note to- You have an interesting accent- is that melbournian or just articulate? I say that because Ive always articulated my words and had to fend off yobbos trying to guess where im from :/
June 29, 2010 at 6:37 am
Heh. Just perfect.
I do love your point at the end that according to this waste of oxygen, whatever women choose to do, we're wrong. But then, that's nothing new. *eye*roll* It's very tired, this "we men go out and do everything for you!" argument, and it's shown for the bullshit it is as soon as women say "okay, then, we'll do it ourselves, and you don't have to worry about it, right?", whereupon the menz start screaming something about "bitches". But, when you've always been on top of the heap, it's pretty easy to see a loss of privilege as oppression.

Oh, and the whole taking the status of white middle class US women and implying that all women live like that, so what are the broads complaining for? Classy, that.
June 29, 2010 at 7:23 am
The opening music is a particularly nice touch.
This guy's basic argument, that oppression only comes in one flavor and one level of severity, is an "interesting" thesis. If somewhere in history, somebody has ever had it worse than a particular woman, she is apparently not allowed to complain about getting a raw deal from society. I've seen this trick before. Often this kind of argument seems to be deployed in a defensive "hey white people have suffered too, you know" kind of manner, but here it's being employed offensively. (Did you see that? I'm fucking clever!)
Is this sort of the Entitled White Guy version of the Oppression Olympics? "Hey, we didn't screw you over as badly as we did these other folks–and I'm going to presume you're white when I say this–so quit your crying!"

"We hereby proclaim the 15th of April to be Titanic Day. It is a day of reflection and contemplation for men who reject the tenets of chivalry, feminism and all other forms of male indentured servitude."
The way that's worded seems to imply that it's a day not to honor Titanic victims or even the men who died on the Titanic in general but rather specifically men who made a point of trampling over women as they shoved their way into lifeboats.

I can't even try to google stats on who exactly died in the Titanic without a lot of MRA bullshit.

Screening for Depression Across the Lifespan: A Review of Measures for Use in Primary Care Settings
Am Fam Physician. 2002 Sep 15;66(6):1001-1009.
Depression is a common psychiatric disorder in children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Primary care physicians, not mental health professionals, treat the majority of patients with symptoms of depression. Persons who are depressed have feelings of sadness, loneliness, irritability, worthlessness, hopelessness, agitation, and guilt that may be accompanied by an array of physical symptoms. A diagnosis of major depression requires that symptoms be present for two weeks or longer. Identifying patients with depression can be difficult in busy primary care settings where time is limited, but certain depression screening measures may help physicians diagnose the disorder. Patients who score above the predetermined cut-off levels on the screening measures should be interviewed more specifically for a diagnosis of a depressive disorder and treated within the primary care physician's scope of practice or referred to a mental health subspecialist as clinically indicated. Targeted screening in high-risk patients such as those with chronic diseases, pain, unexplained symptoms, stressful home environments, or social isolation, and those who are postnatal or elderly may provide an alternative approach to identifying patients with depression.
Depression is the second most common chronic disorder seen by primary care physicians.1 On average, 12 percent of patients seen in primary care settings have major depression.2 The degrees of suffering and disability associated with depression are comparable to those in most chronic medical conditions.3 Fortunately, early identification and proper treatment significantly decrease the negative impact of depression in most patients.4 Most patients with depression can be effectively treated with pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic modalities.5
Depression occurs in children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. It manifests as a combination of feelings of sadness, loneliness, irritability, worthlessness, hopelessness, agitation, and guilt, accompanied by an array of physical symptoms (Table 1).6 Recognizing depression in patients in a primary care setting may be particularly challenging because patients, especially men, rarely spontaneously describe emotional difficulties. To the contrary, patients with depression who present to a primary care physician often describe somatic symptoms such as fatigue, sleep problems, pain, loss of interest in sexual activity, or multiple, persistent vague symptoms.7
Diagnostic Criteria for Major Depressive Disorder

Screening for Depression
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently reviewed new evidence finding that patients fared best when physicians recognized the symptoms of depression and made sure that they received appropriate treatment.8 Based on this evidence, the USPSTF issued new depression screening recommendations last May, encouraging primary care physicians to routinely screen their adult patients for depression. Physicians should have systems in place to assure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and follow-up if patients are to benefit from screening.
There was insufficient evidence for the USPSTF to recommend for or against routine screening of children and adolescents, although physicians should remain alert for signs of depression in younger patients.
Numerous screening measures have been specifically designed to detect depression. Physicians can choose the screening measures that are appropriate for their patients and practice setting, and for monitoring change in patients who are receiving treatment for depression.9
Self-reporting measures can be quickly completed and scored, although other time-intensive, interviewer-administered measures may be necessary when patients are cognitively impaired.
According to the USPSTF,8 an affirmative response to the following two questions may be as effective as using longer screening measures or may indicate the need for the use of more in-depth diagnostic tools: (1) "Over the past two weeks, have you ever felt down, depressed, or hopeless?" and (2) "Have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things?"
Selection of a screening measure, whether it be the two simple questions above or a longer diagnostic tool, is the first and most important step in the process of managing depression. Considerations for selecting a measure include characteristics of the population to be screened, psychometric properties of the instrument, time required to complete the measure, time required to score the measure, ease of use, and cost of obtaining the measure.
Depression Screening Measures
Depression screening measures do not diagnose depression, but they provide an indication of the severity of symptoms and assess the severity within a given period of time (e.g., the past seven to 14 days). Although each measure has a unique scoring system, higher scores consistently reflect more severe symptoms. All measures have a statistically predetermined cutoff score at which depression symptoms are considered significant. Some measures group scores into different levels of symptom severity.
Persons scoring above the established cutoff level should be interviewed to assess for the depressive disorders criteria found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR).6 These include major depressive disorder, subclinical or minor depression, and dysthymia. An interview is necessary because many conditions have symptoms that are common to depression. In addition, screening measures do not address important diagnostic features such as duration of symptoms, degree of impairment, and comorbid psychiatric disorders. An evaluation is critical in ruling out conditions that may present with symptoms of depression, such as hypothyroidism and pancreatic cancer. Finally, clinical judgment should supersede strict adherence to DSM-IV-TR criteria because the clinical manifestations of depression may vary by age, gender, or cultural background.
Depression in children and adolescents is associated with an increased risk of illness along with interpersonal and psychosocial difficulties that can persist long after the depressive episode is resolved.10,11 In adolescents, depression is associated with an increased risk of substance abuse and suicidal behavior.10 Diagnosing depression in children is particularly difficult because limited language abilities make it necessary to integrate information from multiple sources (e.g., a parent, a teacher, another child). Depression appears to be rare in children younger than six years. Approximately 2 percent of elementary-school-aged children experience depression.10 Rates of depression dramatically increase during adolescence, and up to 8 percent of U.S. teenagers are affected.10
Depression screening measures for children and adolescents (Table 2)12–24 are generally appropriate in children who are at least seven years of age with a sixth-grade reading level or higher. However, the Reynolds Child Depression Scale12 (available for purchase at www.parinc.com/index.cfm) and the Children's Depression Inventory14 (available for purchase at www.mhs.com) were developed specifically for children and are written at lower reading levels.
The Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale13 (RADS; available for purchase at www.parinc.com/index.cfm) is one of a few depression screening measures developed specifically for adolescents; however, no Spanish version is commercially available. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC),15 the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D),16 the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI),17 and the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) are alternatives for use in adolescents. Advantages of the BDI and CES-D include ease of scoring, low cost, and comparable psychometric properties.
The screening measures for children and adolescents listed in Table 2 have been primarily used for research, and their clinical use in screening children and adolescents in primary care settings has not been established. Until further research is conducted, these measures should be used in young patients only when there is a high index of suspicion for depression and should not be used as a routine screen for depression.25 The measures may also be used to monitor treatment response in patients who have been diagnosed with depression.

The Pediatric Symptom Checklist is an alternative tool for screening pediatric patients for psychosocial problems.26 Although the Pediatric Symptom Checklist is not specific for depression, its 35-item checklist is designed for parents to complete and may help identify young patients in need of further assessment.
The lifetime prevalence of major depression in adults is estimated to be 7 to 12 percent in men and 20 to 25 percent in women.27 The prevalence of depression in patients in primary care settings ranges from 5 to 10 percent.28 The rates are significantly higher in persons with certain medical conditions, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and a history of myocardial infarction.29–31
Common depression screening measures for adults are shown in Table 2. The most commonly used screening measures for adults in ambulatory medical settings include the Beck Depression Inventory Scales (BDI-II18 [which replaced BD-I], and BDI-PC19; available for purchase at www.psychcorp.com), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Revised (CES-DR),16 and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale.20 These measures take approximately five to 10 minutes for patients to complete, except for the BDI-PC (Figure 1),19 which takes only two to three minutes. Questions are posed within slightly different time frames. The BDI refers to "today," the CES-DR refers to "in the past week," and the Zung refers to "the past several days." Scoring of the BDI and CES-DR measures is completed by totaling the numbers next to each response. Scoring of the Zung scale is slightly more difficult because the raw score must be converted using a table.
The rightsholder did not grant rights to reproduce this item in electronic media. For the missing item, see the original print version of this publication.
The BDI-II (available for purchase at www.psychcorp.com) is the current version of the original BDI that was modified to reflect DSM-IV criteria. The BDI-PC is a seven-item version of the BDI-II. Both versions frame questions within "the past two weeks, including today." In settings where burden to the patient and time are considerations, the seven-item BDI-PC may be advantageous to use because it is faster to administer and score; however, its sensitivity and specificity are slightly lower than the longer version.
The Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD) Patient Health Questionnaire32 is not included in this review because it assesses for several common mental disorders. However, the nine items in the questionnaire that assess depression can be extracted and used in isolation.
Women are particularly vulnerable to depression during and after pregnancy.33 Major depression occurs in approximately 10 to 15 percent of pregnant and postpartum women.34 Early identification and treatment of depression are important to improving outcomes for mother and child.35
The BDI, CES-D, and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (Figure 2)21 have been used to screen for depression in women during the antepartum and postpartum periods. Notably, the BDI and CES-D tend to produce higher scores and more false-positive results in symptomatic pregnant women.36–38 Alternatively the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was specifically developed for assessing postpartum depression and relies much less on somatic questions. Questions on the Edinburgh scale are framed within the "past seven days" and the response format is frequency-based. The responses to the 10 items are added together to obtain a score. Routine use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale during the postpartum period has been shown to increase the detection of postpartum depression compared with usual care.39
Physician instructions: Have the patient complete the scale by marking one answer for each question that comes closest to how she has felt in the past seven days, not just how she feels today. Review item 10 in particular because it concerns thoughts of self harm or possibly suicide.
Scoring: Responses are scored 0, 1, 2, and 3 according to the increased severity of symptoms. Items 3 and 5 through 10 are reverse scored (i.e., 3, 2, 1, 0). The total score is the sum of all item scores. Women with scores above 12 are likely to be suffering from depression.
Figure 2.
The prevalence of depression in adults older than 65 years of age ranges from 7 to 36 percent in medical outpatients and increases to 40 percent in hospitalized elderly patients.40,41 Up to 50 percent of patients with Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease develop a depressive disorder, and their caretakers—no matter what their age—are also at an increased risk. Signs of depression that are more common in the elderly than in other populations include diminished self-care, irritability, and psychomotor retardation. Early diagnosis and treatment of depression in the elderly improve quality of life and functional status, and may help prevent premature death.
When using screening instruments with elderly patients, it is important to consider their level of cognitive impairment along with visual deficits. The validity of certain depression screening instruments is significantly decreased in patients with a Mini-Mental State Examination score of 15 or less.42 Table 2 includes information on the BDI, CES-D, and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)22 specific to their use in persons older than 60 years. The GDS is unique in that it was specifically developed for use in geriatric patients, and it contains fewer somatic items. Recently, a 15-item short form of the GDS was validated (Figure 3).23 Both formats frame questions within the past week and responses require only a "yes" or "no," making comprehension easier compared with the instruments that present four-choice answers.

Figure 3.
A one-item screening question, "Do you often feel sad or depressed?" may screen as effectively as the GDS and save time.43 Other alternatives for geriatric patients include the BDI and CES-D. In cognitively intact patients older than 65 years, the GDS or one-item screen are currently the preferred instrument because the psychometric data on the BDI and CES-D are mixed in this population.44
In patients who have cognitive deficits, interviewer-administered instruments such as the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (Figure 4)24 or the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression45 are preferred. These instruments require more time to administer; however, they are more appropriate than self-report instruments for cognitively impaired patients. The Cornell measure should be administered to the patient's primary caregiver.
Scoring (based on symptoms/signs occurring during the week prior to testing): a = unable to evaluate; 0 = absent; 1 = mild or intermittent; 2 = severe.
Figure 4.
Final Comment
The use of longer depression screening measures is most appropriate in targeted adult patient populations at high risk for depression, with the shorter measures being used for general screening of the adult population. Indications for screening for depression are summarized in Table 3. Once depression is diagnosed and treatment is initiated, repeated administration of these measures provides an excellent means of tracking response to pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy.
Depression measures should be selected based on the patient population (Table 4). The Pediatric Symptom Checklist may serve as a general psychosocial screen for children and adolescents. In adult patient populations, screening with the BDI, CES-D, or Zung measures is recommended in targeted, high-risk populations. In postpartum women, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is the preferred measure.
The use of depression screening measures in elderly patients varies with their cognitive status and clinical presentation. Use of the GDS is limited to cognitively intact or mildly impaired elderly patients and interviewer-administered instruments, such as the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia or the Hamilton Rating Scale, are preferable when cognitive deficits are present. However, older patients with depression may also present with unexplained somatic symptoms and may deny sadness or loss of pleasure. Consequently, clinical judgment may be more helpful than screening measures.

Quarry 6" Brown AT
The new Quarry highlights a true craftsmans attention to detail, featuring a rich full grain leather upper triple stitched for added durability and comfort, an exclusive Vibram® Quarry outsole for superior traction and debris release and a Fatigue Fighter footbed with memory foam insert for all-day comfort.
Boot Details
- 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® liner is engineered to keep your feet dry and comfortable - even in extreme conditions
- Full-grain, all leather upper provides classic design with superior protection
- Danner's hand crafted stitchdown construction provides a wider platform for increased stability underfoot. This construction makes the boot recraftable in our Portland factory
- Triple stitched for superior endurance
- Memory foam insert and Fatigue Fighter footbed for all-day comfort
- Updated hardware for secure fit and performance
- Extended sizes available for women or those with smaller feet
- New exclusive Vibram® Quarry outsole features 90º heel, oil and slip resistant rubber compound, and non-linear lug pattern for superior traction and debris release
- Strength from a steel shank and rigid platform
- 6" height
- 86 oz.
- Recraftable
- Alloy toe is lighter than steel and meets or exceeds ASTM F2413-11 M I/75 C/75 EH standards. Electrical hazard (EH) footwear is manufactured with non-conductive electrical shock resistant soles and heels.
- Imported
610 Last
The 610 is our most universal last and can be worn by all foot shapes and sizes. It provides a snug fit through the heel while allowing ample toe room for most versatile fit. This allows more support and side-to-side movement.
Tips for the Perfect Fit
- Measure both feet. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, select a size that fits the larger of the two.
- Consider the type of socks you'll be wearing with your boot. For thicker socks, you may want to select a half size larger than you normally wear.
- When you do receive your boots, we recommend first wearing them indoors for a few hours to ensure they're the right fit.
Free Return Shipping
Rest assured that if the boot you receive doesn't fit correctly, we pay for return shipping back to us. You can order with confidence knowing return shipping is always on us.

Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Alloy Toe Brown Work Boots:
Great looking boot, very comfortable, but about 3 months after the warrenty gave out, the stitching around the shoe started to come apart. Near the toes, on the sides, along the heal...Triple stitching is only good, if you actually stitch through both pieces of leather with all 3 stitches (which these were not). Quality and workmanship of these boots leaves me VERY disappointed in Danner.
- Great Fit
- Well constructed
- Not made in USA
- Shoelaces
Best Uses

Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Alloy Toe Brown Work Boots:
I'm an Electro/Mechanical Technican and work most of my day indoors. Lots of walking on a concrete floor so comfort is very important and why I like a 6 inch boot. This is my second pair of Danner boots. Both pairs are repairable and this is important to me. I don't mind spending good money on work boots but to not be able to repair them would be such a waste. These boots feel very comfortable and my feet feel very well protected. Great ankle support and a safety toe give me the confidence to perform my duties at work. Danner was generous with the leather and the eyelets look like harware you'd find on a tank. Double and triple stitching throughout. My only complaint, and it's a petty one, is Danner's choice of lace color. I know they'll dirty up and darken over time but I replaced them with brown ones anyways. No, they're not American made. Danner does offer many styles made in the USA, just not the style I like. Nonetheless, this is a good, solid boot.
- Aesthetically Pleasing
- Comfortable
- Easy breakin
- Good Fit
- Great soles
- Well constructed
- Not made in the USA
- Shoe laces
Best Uses

Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Alloy Toe Brown Work Boots:
I've had my pair for about a month and I really like them so far. They were comfortable right out of the box, but they get more comfortable as the leather softens by the day. I'm extremely hard on boots, especially the toes, so time will tell how they hold up. I wear an 11.5D normally, that's what I ordered and it fits great. Maybe a tad wide if using thin socks, but I'll need that extra width come this winter.
I do not like the laces that come with them. They are way too long, too stiff, and just down right ugly, in my opinion. I replaced them with some KG Extreme kevlar laces and they are much better now. I already had a pair of 72" KG laces, so I used them and had to trim them a little. 63" ones would be a perfect fit.
I would gladly pay more for the same boot if it were made in the USA. But Danner no longer makes a single 6" boot in the USA that is waterproof and has a safety toe, what a shame.
- Easy to break in
- Extremely rugged
- Made to last
- Sole provides great tract
- Stiff laces double knot
Best Uses
- All-round work boot
- Heavy construction
Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Alloy Toe Brown Work Boots:
We bought 5 pair of these to try out on the job; all 5 guys loved them. Heavy concrete construction, welding and cutting with exothermic torch.
- Comfortable
- Decent break in time
- Short break in period
- None as of yet
Best Uses
- Work
Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Alloy Toe Brown Work Boots:
this is my second pair of danner boots. i wore my first pair out and they couldnt be refurbished. i chose a wide because my foot is a little wide. they fit perfect. they are a great boot. the break in period for me was about a week. they are a stiff boot and those first two days were brutal. but after a couple days they were broke in. after i broke them in i actually wore them pheasant hunting in michigan. no issues. daily use will be work boots. i stand in a man lift or wald on concrete 10 hours a day.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Hollar, Daniel Leighton Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-07262010-113403 Title The Predictive Ability of Thwarted Belongingness and Perceived Burdensomeness Versus Culture-specific Indicators of Suicidality Degree Doctor of Philosophy Department Psychology, Department of Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Thomas E. Joiner, Jr. Committee Chair Ashby Plant Committee Member Mark Licht Committee Member Na'im Akbar Committee Member Martell Teasley University Representative Keywords
- African Descent
- Burdensomeness
- African American
- Suicidality
- Suicide
- Belongingness
- Acculturative Stress
- Multicultural Inclusiveness
- African Self-fortification
Date of Defense 2010-06-28 Availability unrestricted Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between culture and psychopathology to determine if, belongingness and burdensomeness are more predictive of suicidality risk than multicultural inclusiveness, African self-fortification and acculturative stress among college students of African descent from two culturally distinct universities. The main hypothesis is that among individuals of African descent thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness and the interaction between the two will be more significant than multicultural inclusiveness, African self-fortification, acculturative stress, or those two-way interaction combinations. Methods: Approximately 170 consenting African American male and female undergraduate college students from two southeastern State universities participated in this study. Suicidality was assessed using the Beck Suicide Scale and depressive symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory. Results: Hypotheses were supported. Regression 1 indicated the main effect of ethnicity on suicidality was non-significant and ethnicity did not significantly moderate the relationship between belongingness or burdensomeness and Suicidality. Regression 2 indicated university setting did not significantly moderate the relationship between Suicidality and belongingness or burdensomeness. Regression 3 indicated that the two-way interaction between burdensomeness and belongingness was of greater significance than culture-specific variables in predicting suicidality among individuals of African descent. Conclusions: Perceived burdensomeness and the belongingness X burdensomeness interaction are robust predictors of suicidality among individuals of African descent. Clinical implications are discussed. Files

RANCHI: The statewide bandh called by the Jharkhand Disom Party (JDP) on Saturday to protest against acquisition of agricultural land to set up IIM and National Law University remained largely peaceful barring a few incidents.
In Khunti district, a group of agitators forced traders to pull down their shutters and ransacked some shops. In East and West Singhbhum districts, the bandh supporters tried to block movements of trains which had a minor affect on movements of trains.The shutdown, however, did not affect life across the state.

Tunkhannock Twp. gives Act 537 update
Wyoming County Press Examiner
On Monday night, Tunkhannock Township supervisors gave an update on the status of the Act 537 plan to address sewer needs at Lake Carey.
Supervisor Veto Barziloski Jr. said the supervisors held a recent workshop with Lemon Township supervisors and consultants Harleth Davis and Milnes Engineering Co.
"I believe the consultants have been able to come up with answers for a lot of the questions submitted from the community," Barziloski said. "Now we're getting together a final product to submit to DEP."
Township resident JoAnn Fiorito asked when residents who submitted concerns during the public comment period would be notified of an answer to their concern.
"The answers will be put into the new plan," Barziloski said. "We aren't required to notify each resident individually."
Another resident, Minturn Smith, asked when the final plan will be submitted.
Barziloski said the supervisors will hold a meeting on Monday, Jan. 21, to vote on the revised plan.
"Shortly after we vote the plan will be submitted," Barziloski said. "DEP then has 120 days to look it over."
Also on Monday, Jon Howard, a member of the Wyoming County Planning Commission, spoke up and asked that the supervisors revisit the issue of zoning in the township.
Barziloski said he is personally a strong proponent of zoning.
"I think we need a structure in place to deal with different industries coming into the area," Barziloski said. "I think we had a comprehensive plan with Lemon Township in 2004. It's something we need to look back at."
He said there is currently no recourse in preventing industries from building within the township.
"We can't do anything if someone wants to put in a compressor station," Barziloski said. "Or put up an adult book store next to the library."
Howard said he has been in the community long enough to know the opposition to zoning.
"I've been around long enough and I know the opposition to having zoning. But, we're no longer an island," Howard said. "And people will have their own ideas of what they want built in our community."
Howard said there have been numerous planning commission meetings where residents will ask the county planners to do something about an unwanted structure.
"People will tell us we need to do something," Howard said. "But there isn't a damn thing we can do."
In other business, police chief Stanley Ely told supervisors that he recently finished up constructing a no parking sign ordinance for the shoulder along Route 6 near Keystone Truck Caps.
The ordinance was drafted because a water withdrawal site is set to be built in the field across from Keystone Caps.
"I've sent the ordinance to the solicitor," Ely said. "And it should be ready for the February meeting."
Tunkhannock Township supervisors also held their yearly reorganizational meeting on Monday, reelecting Veto Barziloski Jr. as chairman.
Supervisor Randy White was appointed as vice chairman.
Ken White was reappointed as roadmaster, Paul Litwin was reappointed solicitor and Ely was reappointed police chief.

A post-mortem of Additive, pre-feedback
I submitted about fifteen minutes ago, so I don't have any feedback rolling in yet. I think this is a great time to write a post-mortem before the details are lost. I can do another one after my game is rated.
What went great
- I knew my strengths and weaknesses when I went in. Specifically, I knew that I was poor at art, AI, animation and music. This helped me direct my game ideas away from genres where I'd be weak. Knowing I was bad at art and music informed my aesthetic decisions too.
- Doing a puzzle game for LD was a great choice. A puzzle game has depth when it has as few pieces/behaviours as possible. This directly worked against feature creep. My experience with 2D arrays from another project also came in handy with this one (or really any other puzzle game played on a board).
- I used a notebook. I got myself a visual arts diary with unlined pages, and I had some colored pencils. It helped me figure things out and allowed me make to-do lists that were serious business, and not just scrawled on the back of scrap paper.
- I set some time aside to brainstorm ideas. When the theme was announced I put everything aside and made a mind map of all the things associated with the theme. I latched on to the idea of evolution being a gradual change in anything, not just biological, and trying to fit this into a puzzle game resulted in my concept.
- I made a level creation pipeline. And by 'pipeline', I mean it loaded a .txt file and parsed it into tiles. Much better than doing things in the editor, though.
- I didn't drink much coffee. I found that it just made me feel a bit ill.
What went poorly
- Designing puzzle levels is painful. If I do another puzzle game, I will do mathematical puzzles so that I can generate them procedurally. I ended up arranging cutouts of color names on grid paper, working backwards from a semi-solved state.
- Not colorblind-friendly. I'm really, really sorry. The next puzzle game I make will be based on symbols, I pinky-promise.
- Not enough time to deepen the mechanics. I think the behaviours of the tiles are too similar, but I didn't have time to iterate over changes.
Until now I've only finished one crappy minigame. This was my first LD, and I delivered a polished game within 45 hours that I am really quite pleased with. I couldn't be happier!

Day trip to DC
we are planning a trip to DC on Fri. April 9th. We plan to spend the day around the Smithsonian. Any suggestions for a very good "American" cuisine restaurant, we really aren't all that interested in "tourist traps". All so, important, where is the closest sensible parking near the Smithsonian. Look forward to all suggestions.
I would see if you can get into Central. While there is a French chef, I think burgers, fried chicken, pasta and meatballs and many of the other options are as American as can be. Done wonderfully.
You could also try Zola or 701.
For parking- sometimes you get very lucky and can grab street parking if you circle a little bit, but if not there are garages in Chinatown/Penn Quarter (vicinity of 9th and Fst) although costly, not as annoying as finding a place if there are none. Of course then the walk back to the parking is uphill, but not too bad.
re: ktmoomau
We should mention that people forget exactly how big the Mall is - if you were at the Lincoln Memorial and wanted to walk to Central, it's 1.5 miles. Just something to keep in mind when you plan your day.
Central is really really good though, and depending on how tired your feet are, totally worth the walk.
Mitsitam in the American Indian Musuem is pretty much as "American" as American gets. There are really no good restaurants on the Mall.
The best parking is at the Metro station closest to whichever direction you're coming from. Parking in DC is horrendously expensive, traffic sucks and you never know when the street you need to take will be commandeered by protesters. If you're metroing, you can also get off the Mall and find good places to eat without having to move and repark your car.

You may not believe it, but Ken Jeong from NBC's Community and The Hangover Movie Empire started off his career as a DOCTOR! But with more than 60 TV and movie credits his medicine days seem to be long gone. Rumor has it that he's getting a whopping $5 million dollars to play the evil, yet loveable "Mr. Chow" in The Hangover Part 3.
Recently when on a plane a passenger needed a doctor and Jeong came to the rescue. The passenger instantly recognized him from The Hangover, but let Jeong help. He just renewed his medical license for another year.
Ken told usatoday.com, "When I was a doctor, comedy was my golf. Now it's the other way around."

Youths warned of the dangers of going on Metro lines
Dated: 30 Mar 2012
Youngsters are being warned of the dangers of going on Metro lines.
The message comes after a group of youths were found on the lines at Chichester Metro, at just before 3.30pm, on Wednesday, March 28.
Officers attended the scene and stopped three boys, two aged 12 and one aged 11.
Nick Gjorven, Acting Inspector for the area, said: "I can't stress strongly enough how dangerous this is.
"What may be viewed as a game to those involved can have a tragic outcome.
"Youngsters need to know that they are putting their lives at risk for the sake of a prank or dare.
"We will be visiting schools in the area to reinforce the message that children should refrain from taking part in such a dangerous activity and that we will take appropriate action."
Rebecca Ditchburn, Youth Liaison Officer for Nexus, which owns and manages Metro, said: "Metro lines are extremely dangerous places for people to play or walk on.
"Metro trains take up to 150 metres to stop – more than the length of a football pitch – and anyone struck by one will be killed or seriously injured.
"I see thousands of school children every year to educate them about the danger of trespassing on Metro lines.
"We will join with police to visit local schools, but as the Easter holiday approaches it's up to parents and grandparents to make sure children know how to stay safe around railway lines."

CNRL's Horizon mine producing crude once again
Aug 23, 2011 at 6:26 am in Business, News by TheNewsGirl
Canadian Natural Resources says that their Horizon Oilsands Mine is back to producing synthetic crude. First pipeline deliveries started last Thursday.
Back in January, there was an explosion and fire at the site that stopped production. Five people were injured in the blast.
