In the early years of the twentieth century, an exuberant band of talented individualists living in a shabby neighborhood called Greenwich Village set out to change the world. Committed to free speech, free love, and politically engaged art, they swept away sexual prudery, stodgy bourgeois art, and political conservatism as they clamorously declared the birth of the new.
Christine Stansell offers the first comprehensive history of this legary period. She takes us deep into the downtown bohemia, which brought together creative dissenters from all walks of life: hoboes and Harvard men, society matrons and immigrant Jews, Wobblies and New Women, poets and anarchists. And she depicts their lyrical hopes for the century they felt they were sponsoring -- a radiant vision of modernity, both egalitarian and artful, that flourished briefly, poignantly, until America entered the First World War and patriotism trumped self-expression.

Hey all,
Last Friday I took a friend up to Idaho who wanted to see a few of the strips up there. It was a beautiful day for a flight, although it did get a little bumpy due to a little bit of wind aloft. On our way up, we stopped at Carey to check out the strip. I had never had a reason to go there and wanted to drop in to check it out. It's a nice little strip right at the edge of town. I believe that they have a fly-in there in the late spring/early summer. I'd definitely like to check it out next year if it is put on.
From there, we headed up to Smiley Creek for breakfast, then over to Bruce Meadows on our way up to Johnson Creek. Passing Sulpher Creek, we spotted Iceman and DonC descending to land. We just missed Gary in Johnson Creek. During our quick stop at JC, I was disappointed to hear from Paul and Beverly that they will not be returning as the caretakers at JC next year. Paul said that they aren't getting any younger and want to be able to play during the summer. I hope that the Division of Aeronautics will be able to find someone to fill their shoes. They have done a great job the last couple of years and we'll miss them. I told them to be sure to come over for the BCP fly-in next year.
From JC, we jumped over to Reed Ranch to check it out. After flying over it, I scoped out what I thought would be a workable approach and landed to the south. Since there isn't much of a gouge out there on this strip, it would be interesting to hear how others have done the approach. The strip is a bit on the rough side, no line of site between ends, and some dirt/sandy areas where it looks like they have rehabed it. We departed north through the small, narrow canyon off the end of the strip.
After seeing Piperpainter's video of Deadwood Reservoir, we decided to drop in and check it out. Next was a quick stop at Fairfield to swap seats and a fuel stop in Gooding before heading home. About 6 hours of flying for the day. A nice little day trip. Below are a few pictures that we took.

The current warm sunny weather-it's about time-has made everyone just delighted and the intoxication of it all may lead us to act impulsively. I am as anxious as anyone to move some of my houseplants outdoors: my gardenia looks terrible in the dining room and the jasmine down stairs seems to stare into space dreaming of better days; those days are coming, just be slow about the transition from indoors to out.

The following comments were submitted by Steven A. King, MD, MS, who chaired the DSM-IV and DSM-IV -TR Work Groups on Pain Disorder and who writes the column "Pain"for Psychiatric Times. Drs. Otis and Hughes state that the pain identified by the DSM-IV diagnosis of Pain Disorder is of psychological origin. This is incorrect. In this diagnosis the term "associated with psychological factors," which indicates that these factors play a major role in the onset, severity, exacerbation, or maintenance of the pain, is used. The decision not to limit pain disorder only to pain which could be determined to be secondary to psychological factors was a purposeful one.1 In previous editions of the DSM, the pain diagnoses only addressed pain that could be so identified and as a result of this it was found that these diagnoses were rarely employed. A major problem was that due to multiple issues, including the negative effects of failed treatments for the pain and the disruptive influences of the pain on patients' lives, frequently by the time patients with chronic pain were referred to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, it was usually virtually impossible to determine the psychological state of the patient at the time of onset of pain. It is sad that over 16 years after the publication of DSM-IV misinformation regarding its contents is still being propagated. 1. King SA, Strain JJ. Somatoform Pain Disorder.

Psychiatry and Chronic Pain
Psychiatry and Chronic Pain
Although acute pain typically resolves on its own with little need for intervention, for some persons pain persists past the point where it is considered an adaptive reaction to injury. Pain that persists for longer than 3 months, that accompanies a disease process, or that is associated with a bodily injury that has not resolved over time may be referred to as chronic pain.1
Pain affects nearly 100 million people and is one of the most common complaints made to primary care physicians (PCPs) by their patients.2,3 More than 20% of all medical visits and 10% of all drug sales are pain-related.4 Overall, the total direct and indirect costs of chronic pain in the United States are estimated to be between $150 billion and $260 billion annually.2
There are a number of provider and patient factors that contribute to the challenge of effectively managing pain in the primary care setting. These factors include appointment time limitations, a relative lack of clinician education and expertise in managing pain, and the extensive use of medical diagnostic tests and interventions that contribute to patients' belief that a medical cure for their pain exists. These types of beliefs can make it less likely that patients will take steps to manage pain on their own, and they may cause patients to feel more dependent on their PCP for pain relief. When a patient's expectations for a cure are not met, anger, frustration, and depression often follow. These obstacles represent real challenges in managing this complex medical condition.
Individuals with chronic pain often report that pain interferes with their ability to engage in occupational, social, romantic, or recreational activities, which is consistent with a biopsychosocial model of illness. Their inability to engage in these reinforcing activities may contribute to increased isolation, feelings of worthlessness, and depressed mood. In fact, research indicates that approximately 27% of patients with pain in primary care clinics meet criteria for major depression.5 In addition, conditions such as anxiety, substance abuse, and personality disorders occur at a greater rate in individuals who have a chronic pain condition than in individuals who do not. Realizing that patients with chronic pain may be experiencing a variety of psychosocial issues that are maintaining and exacerbating the experience of pain, PCPs are making greater use of mental health services in order to address these issues and improve patient outcomes.
A variety of disciplines have increasingly become involved in pain management, yet psychiatrists who have received specialized training in pain play a key role in the care of patients with chronic pain. The purpose of this article is to describe and illustrate how psychiatrists can integrate and coordinate pain management efforts with PCPs.
Working collaboratively with primary care
Psychiatrists who are interested in collaborating with PCPs may consider several strategies to maximize the productivity of the relationship. An important first step is to ask all patients to sign a release of information consent form that permits active communication and coordination of care among the various health care providers involved in their treatment. In the mental health and organizational literatures, the terms "integration" and "coordination" are frequently used inconsistently and interchangeably.
There are 2 concepts implied by the term "integration." The first concept is structural integration, which refers to the manner in which physical space has been allocated within primary care offices; this facilitates collaboration, purposefully or not, between mental health and primary care. This can vary considerably, with some psychiatry offices located within primary care space (complete structural integration) and others located on a separate floor or in a separate building from primary care (no structural integration). Space limitations for complete structural integration may be overcome by having the mental health clinician attend primary care meetings, by case presentations, and by other efforts to promote the accessibility of psychiatry. Although structural integration is desirable, it may be more important for providers to coordinate and communicate with one another effectively.
The second concept is coordination, which refers to standardized approaches that are used to assign activities and responsibilities in advance of the performance of services, to specify the types of services being provided and the skills required to perform the services, and to facilitate the transfer of information from one person to another.6 Coordination can be increased by changing management structures and staff resource funding pathways; however, these strategies are often challenging to implement, especially in the private sector. Fortunately, coordination may also be enhanced by establishing regular and timely communications with PCPs (ie, face-to-face discussion about patients), soliciting the PCP's opinion regarding the specific needs of patients, inviting PCPs to participate in the planning and execution of treatment, and clearly showing patients the value of mental health care.
Many studies support the benefits of increased integration and/or coordination between mental health and primary care. Integration/coordination of mental health and primary care enhances patient and provider satisfaction, improves patient outcomes, and decreases health care costs.7-9 It also increases adherence to medications and decreases medical utilization among "high utilizers."10
Mental health interventions delivered in primary care are also likely to have crosscutting medical beneficial effects on unhealthy behaviors and health-related issues, such as smoking, high cholesterol levels, alcohol use, and obesity. Thus, integration and coordination of services between psychiatry and primary care offers an opportunity to identify and intervene with many problems before they develop into significant pathology.
? Coordination between psychiatrists and primary care physicians may be enhanced by establishing regular and timely communications, soliciting the primary care physician's (PCP) opinion regarding the specific needs of patients, inviting PCPs to participate in the planning and execution of treatment, and clearly showing patients the value of mental health care..
? Using the stepped-care approach, the level of care is guided by a patient's response to treatment and his or her readiness to engage in self-care.
? Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an effective psychological treatment for chronic pain that is aimed at changing maladaptive thoughts and behaviors that serve to maintain and exacerbate the experience of pain.
Developing a stepped-care approach
Given the number of patients who have chronic pain, psychiatrists should consider the most efficient and effective way to provide services. One model of care that has been used for pain management is called stepped care. Using this approach, the level of care is guided by a patient's response to treatment and his or her readiness to engage in self-care.11 This approach has been successfully implemented for a variety of medical conditions and health behaviors, including alcohol and cigarette use and reducing cholesterol levels.12
Three basic steps are involved in this model.
• Step 1 is appropriate for all patients seeking treatment for pain. The psychiatrist teaches the PCP how to identify and address specific patient concerns about pain and how to enhance patient readiness for self-care. For example, a common patient fear is that exertion, exercise, or sexual activity will result in further injury. This fear can be addressed by explaining the benefits of remaining active and by creating a plan for gradually returning to a safe level of activity. Psychiatrists can teach PCPs to use motivational interviewing to address a patient's unrealistic expectations of a cure for pain, reinforce the use of self-care strategies, and develop a plan for managing pain flare-ups.13
• Step 2 is appropriate for patients who continue to experience pain and disability several weeks after the initial primary care visit. These patients require a more active approach to pain management that may include identifying the specific difficulties they are experiencing (eg, pain when lifting heavy objects), developing and implementing an individually tailored treatment plan, and providing support and follow-up. Following a brief evaluation, the psychiatrist determines whether the patient's goals are likely to be best achieved through brief individual or group therapy, medication, or a more comprehensive program.
• Step 3 is appropriate for patients who continue to experience a significant level of disability and distress despite the efforts of the PCP or the availability of brief therapy or psychoeducational programs. Patients may present with complex medical and social histories, and they are often seen as "challenging" and hard to manage within the limitations of the primary care setting. For these patients, more extensive involvement of the psychiatrist and other members of the pain management team may be indicated.
Organizing a pain management team
One way that psychiatrists can facilitate care related to pain is to organize a group of providers with specific expertise in pain management and rehabilitation into a multidisciplinary pain management team. Multidisciplinary pain programs consist of a group of providers with specific expertise in pain management and rehabilitation. The goal of the team is to provide a comprehensive pain assessment and deliver an integrated and coordinated plan for treatment that emphasizes medical, psychological, and rehabilitation approaches as needed. This type of approach is appropriate for patients with chronic pain that has been unresponsive to less intensive interventions.
Evidence-based treatments for pain
One of the most effective psychological approaches for pain management is based on a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach. CBT is an effective psychological treatment for chronic pain that is aimed at changing maladaptive thoughts and behaviors that serve to maintain and exacerbate the experience of pain.
Key components of CBT for chronic pain include cognitive restructuring (ie, teaching patients how to change maladaptive thoughts); relaxation training (eg, diaphragmatic breathing, imagery); time-based activity pacing (ie, teaching patients how to be more active without overdoing it); and graded homework assignments designed to decrease patients' avoidance of activity and to reintroduce a healthy, more active lifestyle.14 CBT also focuses on promoting patients' increased activity and functioning using techniques such as exercise homework, activity scheduling, and graded task assignments. A substantial literature exists documenting the efficacy of CBT for chronic pain conditions.15
While pain is the most common presenting somatic symptom in medical outpatients, depression is the most common mental disorder in patients who present to primary care, and it is found in 10% to 15% of all of these patients. Kroenke and colleagues16 recently conducted a randomized controlled trial of a Stepped Care for Affective Disorders and Musculoskeletal Pain (SCAMP) protocol that combined pharmacological and self-management interventions for patients with comorbid depression and chronic pain.
Their findings indicate that participants who received the treatment demonstrated substantial improvements in depression and moderate reductions in pain severity and disability when compared with usual-care participants. These data further support the contribution psychiatrists can make to the management of pain in the primary care setting.
Group or individual treatment modalities
CBT for pain can be facilitated in individual and group formats; both have potential benefits and challenges that need to be considered. While individual therapy may be requested by patients, there are several advantages to group treatment.
First, group treatment allows the therapist to provide services to several participants at the same time. Second, group treatment provides an opportunity for participants to learn from other group members who have had to overcome hurdles in coping with pain. Third, attending group therapy may enable patients to see that they are not alone in dealing with the distress and disability that often accompany pain. Furthermore, a group format allows participants to gain valuable social support.
On the other hand, there are times when individual therapy is the treatment approach of choice. Individual therapy provides greater opportunity for patient-specific problem solving and goal setting. For example, in an individual format, a psychiatrist can spend more time addressing the issues most relevant to a patient. There is more flexibility in timing of sessions when providing individual therapy, because sessions can be scheduled to meet the needs of one person rather than a group. In addition, some patients may report feeling uncomfortable sharing information with a group.
Addressing PCP concerns and questions
Psychiatrists are often consulted when PCPs become frustrated with their chronic pain patient's poor response to medical interventions. These patients may be given labels such as malingerer, nonadherent, or a challenge. Psychiatrists who have training in the biopsychosocial approach to treating illness are well suited to investigate and determine the relative influences of these domains of functioning on the experience of pain.
Psychiatrists may also be asked to assist PCPs in differentiating patients with somatogenic pain from those with psychogenic pain. Examples of psychogenic pain include several of the somatoform disorders, such as somatization disorder, hypochondriasis, and pain disorder. The pain in these disorders is real and not consciously produced by the patient, although the pain origins are psychological.
In addition to the somatoform disorders, there are medically unexplained illnesses that lack consistent pathognomonic findings, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. These disorders are accepted by some PCPs as legitimate medical conditions, but they can be viewed with suspicion by other PCPs who see these conditions as primarily psychological in origin. Finally, there are the rare but potentially confounding conditions of factitious disorder and malingering. In these disorders, as opposed to previously mentioned disorders, patients consciously produce the pain symptoms themselves or in children (by proxy) for attention or other secondary gain.
Addressing patient concerns
Patients are often referred to a mental health provider after they have failed to benefit from more conservative approaches for pain management. The psychiatrist needs to consider 3 things:
• The etiology of the pain may not have been correctly diagnosed
• The context of pain in the patient's culture
• The patient's risk of suicide
Diagnosing the etiology of pain can be challenging, especially in atypical presentations of rarer diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. Psychiatrists must remain vigilant while treating their patients for the delayed emergence of a diagnosable and possibly treatable medical disease.
It is also important to understand patients within the context of their own culture. For example, is it more acceptable for the patient to report physical pain than emotional pain to his family and friends? Many cultures view depression and anxiety as signs of personal weakness or serious mental illness, while they view the suffering from a medical illness with more compassion. If, in fact, the patient has major depression or anxiety, then the mental health provider should treat the illness and educate the patient and his family about how real the suffering and pain is to the individual who has either of these conditions.
Remaining mindful of the depth of despair a patient with chronic pain may experience will lead to routine assessment of patients for suicidal ideation. While chronic pain itself is not a risk factor for suicide, it may exacerbate other known risk factors for suicide, such as major depression, substance abuse, and feelings of hopelessness.17
Ensuring that patients are not medication seeking
When performing an initial assessment, ask patients to list all their medications, including pain, anxiety, and sleep medications; indicate where the medications were prescribed; describe how they are using each pain medication; and give information about the use of other substances to manage pain.
When a patient reports a deviation from the prescribed plan for the use of medication (eg, selling or trading medication, taking all at one time, hoarding medication), advise him of the risks of harm and discuss the options, particularly the option that he inform his PCP.
If a release of confidential information agreement was signed by the patient before that psychological assessment—a step that is highly recommended—then this information can be shared with the PCP and other members of the pain management team. In the Veterans Affairs health care system, the psychiatrist should advise the patient that the information will become part of the electronic medical record and that the PCP will be notified. This is done so that PCPs can clarify instructions for optimal pain relief and consider whether to alter the prescription. Often, when patients reveal this type of information, they are sending a message to the psychiatrist that they need help.
While some patients will admit to mental health providers when they have used substances to manage their pain, others will not and may be seeking pain medication for diversion or other inappropriate uses. Warning signs include reports that only 1 particular opiate medication will reduce the pain, requests for assistance to obtain pain medication, reports of lost or stolen medications, and frequent visits to the emergency room. Assessment measures have been developed to help the clinicians identify patients who are at high risk for abusing medications.18
Collecting treatment outcome data. Pretreatment, posttreatment, and follow-up data can help pain patients recognize the changes they have made over the course of treatment. The data help evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, and demonstrate to PCPs the benefits of services provided. There are a number of brief and standardized self-report pain questionnaires that are commonly used that assess domains such as pain intensity, mood, interference due to pain, and coping (Table).
Chronic pain can have a significant impact on how individuals think and feel about themselves and the world in which they live. In turn, a person's mood, personality characteristics, and social environment can influence his overall experience of pain. Given the high prevalence of chronic pain in the primary care setting and the known psychological influences on patients' perception of pain, there is a growing demand for psychiatrists with specialized training in pain management to assist PCPs in the care of patients with chronic pain.
Psychiatrists with an interest in working with persons who have chronic pain conditions should consider ways of integrating and coordinating services within the primary care setting, delivering services in an effective manner, and providing services as part of a pain management team. Psychiatrists with expertise in conducting comprehensive pain assessments and delivering evidence-based interventions for pain have an opportunity to make a unique and significant contribution to improving the quality of life for patients with pain.

Those who know Rich Chambers well are aware of the dichotomy that is one of B.C.'s most dynamic basketball coaches.
On the court, the super-intense instructor maintains a laser-like focus on the things that matter, pacing the sidelines like a hummingbird with a beak full of sugar.
Away from the court, the long-time counsellor at Terry Fox Secondary has an easy-going nature that he splices with gracious comments and a quick self-deprecating wit.
So when congratulated Thursday on being inducted into Basketball BC's Hall of Fame, Chambers accepted it in his own humble fashion.
"What does it mean? It means I'm old," quipped the Port Moody resident. "Seriously, it's an incredible honour when you hear the people who have been inducted and honoured. It's a great group of people to be considered and mentioned with."
His resume includes head coach of Basketball B.C.'s Centre for Performance, numerous national, university and high school programs, and a variety of provincial squads.
Chambers is joined by fellow coaching luminaries Allison McNeill and one-time Port Coquitlam resident Tim Frick, athletes Teresa Gabriele and Phil Ohl and official Dean MacKinnon.
For Chambers, who is currently on leave from his position as head coach of the University of Victoria's women's team, there have been a variety of
events over his 40-year coaching career that stand out. But there is also something about every team that elicits fond memories.
"I enjoy coaching and I still enjoy coaching," he said, noting that he has accepted the position as head coach of the junior national under-18 team for this coming summer.
"I've been very fortunate to be involved with so many great coaches and athletes."
In his first year at Terry Fox Secondary, Chambers worked alongside Don Van Os with a team that would capture the school's first provincial senior boys title.
That victory, 20 years ago, continues to resonate, he said.
"It was just an unbelievable group, with some outstanding athletes," he recalled. "If you're in it long enough these kinds of things happen, going well and going badly."
The Basketball BC Hall of Fame and Awards Gala is slated for April 20 at the Langley Events Centre. For ticket information, go to www. basketball.bc.ca.

Sheriff Tom Knight
Visitor SafetyVacation is a time to relax in safe surroundings and Sarasota County is an outstanding place to do just that. Regardless of where you travel, crime never takes a vacation. Take a few minutes to review these tips to help you enjoy a safe, secure holiday.
Crime MappingCrime data is available through a web-based tool and mobile app developed with Crimemapping.com. Click the title above to view current incidents that can be filtered by crime type or within a chosen radius of a desired address.
Speakers BureauSheriff Knight is committed to keeping Sarasota County citizens informed about the activities of the Sheriff's Office. With this in mind, speakers are regularly available to give presentations on a variety of topics.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office has concluded its holiday Click It or Ticket Campaign, which ran from November 18th to December 1st.
The effort was part of a nationwide push to save lives by intensifying efforts to educate the public about seat belt laws and enforce them with all motorists around the clock.
During this campaign, Sarasota County deputies wrote 248 citations to motorists who were not wearing their seatbelts, including two who did not properly restrain a child. Another 426 motorists were cited for speeding, 75 for driving with a suspended driver's license, 10 for reckless driving and there were 29 DUI arrests.
In Florida, all motorists are required to buckle up when riding in the front seat, and passengers under the age of 18 must use proper seat restraints regardless of where they are seated in the vehicle.
A team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) will be in Sarasota County beginning this Saturday to examine the policies, procedures, operations and support services of the Public Safety Communications Center (PSC).
The PSC must comply with over 200 standards. It originally received accredited status in November 2002 and was re-accredited in 2005, 2007 and 2010. Re-accreditation is a voluntary process but a highly prized recognition of communications professional excellence. This objective is also part of the Sheriff's Office Four-Year Strategic Plan.
The assessment team is composed of law enforcement and public safety communications practitioners from similar, but out-of- state agencies. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals and visit the 911 Center, agency offices and other places where compliance can be witnessed.
As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments by telephone on Monday, December 16, 2013, by calling941-861-5524 between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Comments are limited to 10 minutes and must address the PSC's ability to comply with CALEA standards.
A copy of the standards is available at the Sheriff's Office Front Desk, 2071 Ringling Boulevard, Sarasota, or 4531 SR. 776, Venice. Citizens can submit written comments by mailing them to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), 13585 Heathcote Blvd, Suite 320, Gainesville, VA, 20155.
Once the assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Commission, which then decides if the agency is to be granted re-accredited status.
"Holiday Street Sweep," an operation by the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office to round up wanted persons, resulted in 16 arrests and cleared 22 total warrants.
The warrant sweep conducted Thursday focused on wanted persons north of Fruitville Road in Sarasota and included attempt-to-locate requests from other jurisdictions. The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Apprehension Unit, the U.S. Marshal Service Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force, the Sarasota Police Department Street Crimes Unit and personnel from Florida Probation & Parole Services were out in force.
Suspects were wanted primarily for violent weapons offenses, fraud, violating probation and failing to appear in court on felony charges. One woman turned herself in last night because of the pressure she felt from the concerted effort to find her.
"The subjects we look for are still actively committing crimes," said Fugitive Apprehension Unit Deputy Brian Barrett. "When we apprehend them, we're basically saving the citizens from being re-victimized."
"When we come out early in the morning and bring that manpower, we've already done our homework on where they could be," Barrett continued. "When you're going after wanted persons, it's not a numbers thing. Every contact helps develop information and we utilize that additional intelligence to move the case forward."
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is advising the public that Jeffrey Earl Smith, DOB 9/9/66, has registered as a Sexual Predator living in Sarasota County.
Smith was convicted for a 1996 case of Sexual Battery Using a Deadly Weapon. He was released from prison but violated probation numerous times and was sent back to prison in 2012. He was just released and is living at 1732 Central Avenue, Sarasota. Smith is under Department of Corrections supervision until April 2014. He has no residency restrictions but has a curfew between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
This information is also being posted on the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office web site and Facebook page as part of an initiative to publicly notify citizens of sex offenders and predators who register a local address for the first time.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office still recommends that citizens sign up for sex offender alerts from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement by visiting https://floridaoffenderalert.com/ to receive regular notifications of routine registrations and address changes.

Attitude Makes All the Difference Chapter 1 - Joy and Discontent
Everyone on earth wishes to be happy, but many people never do become truly content. From my own perspective, it seems that the reason they are not happy is that they do not try to feel the joy that exists in their immediate circumstances. There is actually no condition that can be called "happiness"; rather, there is only a sense of being happy.
For example, one person may think that a rainy day is gloomy while another may welcome the rain. The reality of the rain is one and the same, but the ways the two feel about it are exactly the opposite. The one who can rejoice in the rain is the one who is happier. The same is true of work. When trouble arises at work, there are some who want to give up in despair, and then there are others who see difficulties as a challenge and rouse themselves to action. It seems that happiness depends on how one looks at things, how one appraises things, and how one responds to things.
The root of the Japanese word for happiness, shiawase, matches this way of thinking perfectly. According to a major Japanese dictionary, shiawase is the noun form of a verb meaning "to act flexibly according to circumstances." The peace of mind one gains from such action is what we call happiness.
One of the teachings of Buddhism is that the whole universe is contained in a single thought of one individual (ichinen sanzen, or "three thousand realms in one mind"). It means that the world around us changes when we change our attitude.
To those who are discontented and irritable, all they see and hear is depressing. The world around them is like the unpleasant odor that surrounds a drainage ditch. In contrast, when we have a single thought that is bright and pure, everything around us is proportionately brighter and purer. When the weather improves, just look at how the blue sky spreads wider and wider and the banks of clouds dissipate as they are blown before the rising air currents. One must call forth this sort of updraft from within one's own heart.
Along with many people in the world who seem unable to feel happy, there are some who seem to be masters of the art of enjoying life. One was Tachibana Akemi (1812 - 68), a poet and scholar of Japanese classical literature. In Dokurakugin (Reciting Poetry for My Own Pleasure), a collection of fifty-two poems, he writes:
Pleasure is getting up in the morning And seeing a blossom that had not been there The day before.
Pleasure is awakening after a nap to find Rain sprinkling the garden.
He expresses pleasure at such small things as the blossoming of a plant and a midday shower. One who has this eye for the joys of life can be said to be happy.
Tachibana lauds other pleasures:
Pleasure is filling the empty rice bin Knowing there is enough for another month.
Pleasure is when a rare fish delicacy is served And all the children relish it, exclaiming, "That's good!"
Tachibana was a man who aimed at honest poverty. In his poems he straightforwardly expresses the joy of being able, because he has even a small income, to fill the rice bin when the bottom had been exposed, and of being able to have something good to eat for the first time in a long while. Herein lies the wisdom of being satisfied with little and experiencing great joy.
As happiness is not just an abstract notion, neither is misery. However, if one gets into the habit of being discontented and dissatisfied, then a feeling of displeasure will fasten on whatever takes place around one.
It appears that there are many people who feel happiness only when they experience some great joy once or twice a year. But if instead of hoping for rare moments of great elation, they managed to find pleasure in small, everyday things, their lives would be much happier.
Even in our daily work, it is possible to see things through eyes of joy as Tachibana did:
Pleasure is talking with a co-worker at the next desk About one's good work.
Pleasure is the animation that takes over When urgent business suddenly comes in.
Pleasure is being thanked by a regular customer And saying, "Thank you," exchanging smiles.
At work, though tough problems may come one right after another, we should not think of them as hardships, but as pleasures. We can encourage ourselves by believing that dealing with difficult tasks makes us stronger. With this attitude, work becomes fun.
In the late eighteenth century there lived in the village of Bizen, in what is now Okayama Prefecture, a man named Aburaya Yoichibe, who was in the habit of saying "Thank goodness" quite often. When he awoke in the morning and saw his mother's face, he would say, "Thank goodness," and when he saw his wife he would say the same thing. Villagers nicknamed him Grateful Yoichibe. Once he stumbled on a stone and injured his knee, and although blood poured from the wound, he said as always, "Thank goodness!" A villager who was with him asked him why he was so grateful even though he had been injured. He replied, "I'm thankful I got off with only a small scratch." Like Tachibana, Yoichibe knew the key to happiness.
There are many ups and downs in life. Some things seem fortunate and others not. If one is rebuked for a mistake at work, one can take comfort in accepting the rebuke as good medicine and vow to be more careful. Just as it used to be said in Japan that the world is as kind as it is cruel, if there is someone who reprimands, there is also someone who consoles. What is important is to see that the one who scolds is also a benefactor. Many executives of leading corporations say, "Now that I look back on it, the chagrin I felt at being reprimanded on a certain occasion became a great asset."
If one imitates the lifestyle of Tachibana or Grateful Yoichibe, one's world will be broadened and one will feel much more at ease. We should always keep in mind that whether we are happy or miserable is determined by how we see and respond to things.
A happy life begins with small pleasures, which greatly multiply.

Are you sure the name isn't supposed to be Mark Southwick? I love how the owner wants to be reimbursed for the water and the electricity. The nerve of this woman breaking into someone else's house to wash her clothes in this economy!

Well why wouldn't the owner want to be reimbursed.
If they have a house just sitting vacant on the market, that means they probably have a big mortgage payment coming due each month without income to pay it.
Why is it okay to make YOUR harship someone else's hardship? - February 25, 2009 at 9:04 AM
Chaz, it's obivous you didn't catch the sarcasm in my comment.

oh, sorry Nika. Here's an egg... you can throw it as hard as you want at me...

if this woman was homeless, she could have panhandled her way to the five bucks needed to wash and dry at a launderette....

Maybe I am missing something here....but this woman was observed breaking into the house, managed to get a set a clothes in through a full wash cycle, put the clothes in the dryer, and get another set of clothes in the washer before the police came??
Oh, this happened in Florida - nevermind. - February 25, 2009 at 3:10 PM
Maybe she washed the first load someplace else and ran out of change. That would make more sense. She had to dry her clothes or they'd get wet and moldy but she ran out of change so in desperation she breaks into this house she walks by all the time. While she's there she figures she might as well get another load out of it and starts the next load. Hilarity ensues.

could be that the set of clothing was a load carried by hand...not a basket full. detergent and fabric softener was already present or vendor packets carried by perp
she may have had the taste to separate the colors from whites during washing and drying....thus the find of both apparatus washing and drying when the cops arrived. - February 25, 2009 at 7:41 PM
Humm. Shiny bobbed hair, no emotion... I'd say she's Vulcan.
Perhaps Scotty from the Star Ship Enterprise beamed down some laundry soap and Snuggle.
Wouldn't that figure? Only female on the ship and they beam her down to do the laundry. - February 25, 2009 at 9:10 PM
er...this is a human female?

how come they didn't charge her for stealing some guy's bad toupee?

Dec. 27, 2011 — As I sat down to write my first opinion piece I was admittedly stumped on what to write about.
Today's political turmoil certainly would provide ample fodder for a tirade or two, but as I attended Chester High School's winter concert I found a near and dear subject with which to climb upon my soapbox.
If you're into numerology, 2012 is a 5 year (add up all the digits in any order you want, until you arrive at a single digit), but you'll have to do a little research to see how you're personal birth year number reacts with the universal year 5.
Just a few days short of a year ago, Lassen County residents recoiled in horror as the details of the New Year's Day murder of Robert McElrath, a well-respected Susanville Police officer, who allegedly was killed by his wife, Joanna McElrath, and her boyfriend, Robert Glen James, spread like wildfire through the community.

It's not easy being the Biebs. Justin Bieber was forced to leave his luxury Parisian hotel, the iconic Hotel Le Meurice, on Monday, after word got out that the "Beauty and a Beat" singer was staying there during his visit to the City of Lights.
Hundreds of Beliebers turned out to the hotel in an attempt to catch a glimpse of Bieber, but his devoted fans ended up doing more harm than good.
PHOTOS: Celebrities with Bieber fever
TV and radio personality Jean-Marc Morandini took to his blog shortly after the incident to share the latest Bieber news.
"Justin Bieber has just been kicked out of the Meurice Hotel in Paris," he wrote. "It was a decision taken by the management of the luxury hotel because of his attitude in the establishment, and because of the nuisance caused by the presence of his fans around the buildings."
Bieber, 19, reportedly booked a whopping seven suites across two floors for himself and his large entourage, a reservation that likely cost well into the six figures.

Unfortunately for the singer, however, he wasn't able to enjoy the perks of the hotel, which boasts a star-studded clientele including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Beyonce and Jay-Z, and Madonna, as well as members of the British Royal Family.
"There were kids everywhere screaming and shouting, and the other guests just didn't like it," a source tells Us of the scene. "Justin was clearly encouraging his fans -- that's something he has to do."
Bieber was later spotted checking into another luxury Parisian establishment, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
PHOTOS: Justin and Selena: The way they were
But the claim that the 19-year-old pop star's behavior was to blame for his ouster are unfounded, Bieber's rep tells Us exclusively.
"Justin was not kicked out of the hotel. He decided to transfer to the Mandarin Oriental when there wasn't enough security at the hotel to control the crowds," the rep tells Us. "There wasn't even an underground entrance for him at the other hotel and the security was too lax given the size of the crowds."
"Plus there was no garage," the rep added. "Very unsafe situation for Justin and the fans. Over 500 kids bombarded the hotel."
A spokesman for the Le Maurice confirmed that the "Boyfriend" singer had left the hotel, but agreed that he left voluntarily, not by force.
"Justin Bieber had indeed left the establishment to go elsewhere, but we do not know where," the spokesman said. "But this is a decision made by him or his team. We do not turn people away."
The singer is set to perform at the Palais Omnisports in Paris-Bercy on Tuesday as part of his Believe world tour.

THE MAROON VOL. 81, NO. 13 FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2003 "For a greater Loyola" Students face few book choices Buy back policy provides students with little change By Earl Descant Contributing writer With every new semester, students are faced with classes and one long wait in the bookstore to purchase books. Snaking its way through a narrow hallway and down a flight of steps to the basement of the Danna Center is a queue of students — their arms filled with textbooks. Jennifer Creel, English literature junior, will spend $350 this semester on books — a cost that she will cover entirely out-of-pocket. The cost of textbooks is determined ultimately by the publisher. The publisher issues a retail price for the book and the bookstore sells the book at that price. However, another cost factor is whether the book is new or used. According to Chris Cameron, director of the Danna Center and Student Services, the used book price cannot exceed 75 percent of the new book cost. Currently, the bookstore's distribution is about 40 percent used books and 60 percent new books. Cameron says he would like to see those numbers reversed, which would allow students to save money. Joseph Moore, French and chemistry freshman, is only paying about $ 150 for books this semester. "I lucked out, all of my books are used," he said. Not far down the line is advertising sophomore Kristen Turner who is planning on spending about $40() on books this semester. Turner said that the reason for the high cost was "mostly because all of my major books are new first editions." One of the bookstore's solutions to the high costs is a book adoption program. The program asks professors to submit a book adoption form by mid-term. The form asks the professor which books the class will use in the next semester. The earlier the bookstore knows which texts will be used the following semester, the sooner it can start ordering books, as well as looking for used books. Knowing if a book is going to be used the next semester improves the book's buyback value, which puts more money into students' pockets at the end of the semester. If a book is slated for adoption in the next semester, the bookstore buys the book back at 50 percent of the book's initial cost. STAFF PHOTO BY GILLIAN DICKER Elizabeth Fizer, political science junior, and psychology senior Fred Johnson search for textbooks in the basement of the Danna Center. Students experienced long lines in the bookstore during the first week of classes. GOING GREEK STAFF PHOTO BY GILLIAN DICKER Rho Chi and forensic science junior Kristen Rivera, Gamma Phi Beta's Emily Clark, English junior, Sarah Goodson, music business junior, and Courtney Becker, accounting sophomore, participate in the 2003 Bid Day activities. Bids from all of the on-campus sororities were given out on Monday, Jan. 13. This semester, 95 women recieved bids to join Loyola's four sororities. Before bids are given out, the sororities hold four days of various parties, which include an open house and a philanthropy night, to allow the women to choose between the groups. The parties increase in length each day and the women are only allowed to visit with two organizations on the final day before bids. During the recruitment process, a certain number of current members become Rho Chi's, who act as guidance counselors during the process. Rho Chi's disaffiliate with their current sororities during the Fall semester and remain disaffiliated until after Bid Day. Coca-Cola increases prices By Grace Wilson Staff writer Loyola students will be reaching a little deeper in their pockets this semester when they head to the Coke machine. Over the semester break, Coca- Cola raised the vending prices of their canned drinks from 50 to 60 cents. Bottles of soda from the vending machines remain $1. "Coke has wanted to increase the price for the last three years," Chris Cameron, director of the Danna Center and Student Services, said. Cameron said he has been able to hold off the price increase citing broken Express Card readers on the machines. "The company (Coca-Cola) has been fairly consistent with continued inquiries regarding the Express Card and Loyola fixing the machines," Cameron said. "Now that we have most of them back on-line on the main campus, Coke increased the prices." Cola-Cola has exclusive distribution rights on Loyola's campus, but the contract with the company will expire in 2006. "Coca-Cola by contract with the university determines the pricing of all its products," Cameron said. "The university does not have the right to refuse a vending increase." The change in price is not a Loyola professor fights SOA arrests Quigley files motion to block judge in protestors' arrests By Kate Perkins Staff writer Loyola law professor Bill Quigley filed a motion for the recusal of Magistrate G. Mallon Faircloth from the upcoming trials of protestors arrested Nov. 17 at Fort Benning,Ga. Quigley, director of Loyola's Poverty Law Center, said in the motion that Faircloth "has violated the Judicial Code of Ethics, the Due Process rights of defendants and the Congressional statutes on bias, prejudice and the appearance of impartiality." Faircloth refused to recuse himself and filed a document refuting the motion, but Quigley said those found guilty will have the right to appeal based on the issue addressed in the motion. The defendants, none of which are Loyola students, are involved with the SOA Watch, which every year protests the former School of Americas, now the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. In November, 85 protestors were arrested for trespassing. Quigley's motion says that Faircloth showed partiality by making ex parte statements to the press. Ex parte, meaning "onesided," is applied to statements made by officials to outsiders without the involvement of the other parties in a case. According to the Ledger-Inquirer of Columbus, Ga., the magistrate discussed the way the trial of protestors would be handled in an interview that was published the day before protestors were arrested.
