I've found several 1/2500 NX ships, but which one is considered "the best"?
And I have yet to find either the refit version or a conversion kit in 1/2500. Could somebody please point me in the right direction if such a beat exists?

The VA version is OK from a build standpoint, but it is inaccurate and a creature of its time. The master must have been sculpted at the time of early press releases for the NX. The ventral side of the saucer is not as flat as the "real" ship and the dorsal details are too simplified. I think the nacelles are undersized. Since you're asking for the "best" version, you'll want to stay away from VA's. If you can, then wait for Adam's when it comes out. If you can't wait, then get the FToys.
I don't like the NX and I hate ENT*, so instead of trying to make it accurate I might modify it to turn it into a different type of ship.
* Maybe it's vice versa

What is fibromyalgia?
Sandra Miller, MD, is the assistant director of the Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix Family Medicine Residency.
Question: I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. What treatment options are available?
Answer: Fibromyalgia is a condition of chronically sore and tender muscles, usually diagnosed in women. Although there are theories about the cause, no one really knows why it occurs. Fatigue and poor sleep are part of the syndrome. The muscle soreness is made worse by over-exertion, causing many people with this condition to become inactive. While people do not usually "recover" from fibromyalgia, they can manage it and live better with certain treatments.
Activity is the cornerstone of treatment. Those who consistently follow daily low-grade exercise such as walking, swimming or biking, do better. To avoid triggering more pain, though, the exercise program must be started very slowly, as little as five minutes twice a day, and built up gradually. Because depression can become part of fibromyalgia (whether the depression comes first or is a result of the condition is not clear), cognitive behavioral training with a competent psychologist can be very beneficial.
If there are any signs that sleep apnea or a sleep disorder is present, this should be investigated. Treatment of sleep disorders can improve fibromyalgia symptoms.
Several medications have been proven helpful, though medication should not replace daily activity. The "muscle relaxant" cyclobenzaprine (brand name Flexeril) has been proven to help. Other commonly used and often effective medications include amitriptyline, gabapentin (Neurontin), pregabalin (Lyrica), and duloxetine (Cymbalta). All prescription treatments have potential side effects and need to be monitored. While no treatment eliminates all the symptoms of fibromyalgia, many people can function better and feel better while taking these medications. Medications that are often used, but which do not improve symptoms, include narcotic pain medications and benzodiazepine relaxants (such as Valium, Ativan and Xanax).
Fibromyalgia does not harm the body or shorten life, even though it may feel miserable if untreated. Combination treatment with low-grade daily exercise, cognitive training and medication will allow many people with fibromyalgia to live a higher quality of life and remain functional at work and at home.

Estate Law
Estate Law Questions? Ask an Estate Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for contacting us. This is Dwayne B. and I'm an expert here and looking forward to assisting you today. If at any point any of my answers aren't clear please don't hesitate to ask for clarification.
The money that he was sent by the VA was used by him to pay for his care at the nursing home (mostly) for the last month he was alive?
If so, how were they paud? By check, draft, etc?
by check written out to the facility
Who wrote the check?
he did
Have you filed the will for probate through the court?
As an heir you aren't responsible for his bills, they are just lying to you about that.
His estate would be liable, but for the estate to pay there would have to be a probate opened through the court.
What kind of property did your dad leave?
it's the veterans administration that wants their money back
It doesn't matter who it is. They can only get the money from the estate.
What kind of property did your dad leave when he passed away?
a car that was financed. he owes about $7000
Was there any money in a bank account or did he own any real estate or a house?
there's $5000 left in his bank account. that is all he had left
Was the bank account in his name only or was it left with a beneficiary?
I was power of attorney because he was a double amputee and I had to do all his errands. I was also the beneficiary
If you were the beneficiary of the account then it would have passed to you automatically upon his death. Was this the same account the VA check was deposited in?
yes, direct deposited around the 1st of the month. I guess the heart of my question is if he dieed on the 27th of the month are they etitled to retrieve the whole month back?
Their rules state the payment made at the beginning of the month can be recovered if the person passes away during the month. You said this was a pension?
To recover the money they are going to have to open a probate and pursue you, which they almost certainly won't do.
What you should do is go and hire a local lawyer to write them a letter, explain how the money was used, and explain that you aren't going to open a probate and if they want to pursue it they have to open the estate. They won't do it and so their claim will most likely just go away.
but so can I take the $5000 out and if so when?
If you are the beneficiary of the $5000 you can open a new account with it but check with the lawyer who is writing the letter first.
He will likely tell you just to take it and open an account in a new bank.
thank you very much
You're very welcome. I think you'll be okay in all of this.

- Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: US Navy to preposition black box locatorAfter Flight MH370, it's MH066: Malaysia Airlines jet makes emergency landing in Hong KongAfter Malaysia Airlines MH370 disaster, another co flight MH066 escapes horrorSearch for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 intensifies as "suspicious" objects spotted
Ten planes were sent out Monday to search waters of the southern Indian Ocean any trace of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. A summary of the latest information in the investigation:
A Chinese plane crew spotted a white, square-shaped object in an area identified by satellite imagery as containing possible debris from the missing Malaysian airliner, Xinhua News agency said. A Chinese ship was headed toward the area to investigate.
The U.S. Pacific command said it was sending a Towed Pinger Locator to the region. The equipment, which is pulled behind a vessel at slow speeds, has highly sensitive listening capability that can detect pings from a plane's so-called black box down to a depth of 20,000 feet (6,100 meters).
France said satellite radar data identified some debris that could be from the lost plane about 900 kilometers (550 miles) north of the spot where objects in the images released by the Chinese were located.
Rain was expected in the search area, about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth, Australia, hampering visibility. A cyclone bearing down on the northwest coast of Australia could also stir up bad weather. Planes must fly about four hours just to get there, severely limiting their search time before returning home.
Australia, China, the U.S., Japan and New Zealand have all contributed planes or ships to the search effort. A total of 14 planes and five ships are involved.

"My Exotic Hothot, Inner Mogolia" Top 5 Page for this destination Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region by JuraidahJ
Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Travel Guide: 170 reviews and 410 photos
While wondering around the town and the small streets, we met with a mummy and three kids. They were asking for money to eat.
Can you spot the third kid? No....................................?????
See the bundle the muymmy was carrying behind her (at her back), now see carefully and will see a baby's head. She is so adorable. We wanted to bring them to eat but she declined, so we gave her some money for the children.
Hothot, is the capital of Inner Mogolia which is about 1hr flight from Beijing, China.
The people of Inner Mongolia greets its guests with warmth from their heart. They are very hmble and nice poeple I ever met. This land which is full of history. The lush grassland are alive with horses, cattle and sheperds tending to their flocks.
Most of the Mongolians are Normads. Approx. 90% of the population are Muslims.
Here is an example of the origial Yurt where the Mongolian stays. However, due to the extreme cold weather we were experiencing (-26 deg C), we had to stay at a hotel. This yurt is located just at the side of the hotel we stayed.
I'm not done yet... sorry.. do come back for more updates.
In summer what you'll see is grassland and more grassland. here in winter, this is what you get to see - mostly white and borwn.
It is a contrast to see this having coming from a island full of skycrapers.
- Pros:Full of cultures and colours
- Cons:Language & alot of public spitting
- In a nutshell:though we have communication barrier, every smile is sincere by the locals

Plus, don't miss an acoustic holiday performance from local Brooklyn artist, Alexandra Stewart, taking place from 5-7pm! She is set to release her debut album Wàbà this winter – read an interview with her below!
For more info and to RSVP visit the Facebook event page.
Wearing the Pintuck Bubble Sleeve Tunic, Fluff Sweater.
Your debut album is coming out soon, what can we expect from it?
I think it's a great introduction. It was an opportunity to begin figuring myself out as an artist. I was finally ready to take that on and go hide away at the piano by myself. There are definitely some fearless, vulnerable moments involved in putting it together. I think listeners should expect something lush and deeply moving. There's grit and heart in it all.
Where do you draw inspiration for your music?
Lyrically I write about love, growing up, and chronic misuse. I do love visuals though. I collected images for the album here via Pinterest. There's definitely a theme there and in my debut, Wàbà. The name comes from this idyllic little Canadian village, named after the Algonquin word for "white," where I spent most of my childhood. The black and white images I pinned throughout capture the light and darkness of those songs. Nature also plays a role. I wrote about the environment of that village and surrounding areas. The changing seasons, particularly in Canada, are always inspiring. I think the record covers late August through December or so.
Do you remember first starting to write?
I'll never forget the song. I actually catch myself playing it from time to time. Maybe it'll turn into something one day! I'll have it make an appearance on a next record… I must've been 11 or so at the time. We had just moved from Waba and were living in a little town on the river called Braeside. I never finished the song but it was written on my great grandmother's piano.
What sort of music do you listen to?
I'm lucky to live where I do and to have grown up around music. My father, who was a forestry major, really could've been a tastemaker back in the day. He introduced me to everything from Radiohead to Wilco and though NYC is over saturated with bands, it allows you to experience incredible talent. There are some great female acts I saw this past year. Cold Specks gave one of the most chilling and haunting performances I've ever seen. She shares so much with her audience. And Lianne La Havas. Absolutely adorable and I hear she's a lovely cook.
How would you describe your personal style?
I take quite a bit of it from Canada and my Mother. She always had great style. Her jackets, some of which have found their way into my closet, seemed so one-of-a-kind. The structure of her outfits always had that great fit, too. Her hair and makeup was always pretty simple and bohemian. I definitely lean more ethereal than she is so I tend to mix the structured with romantic dresses and things. I'm really attracted to shapes and antiques, too. Eye catching items that particularly look good under a bright light. I think when you're performing, you should put on a bit of a show and I'm always hunting around for materials I can transition off and on the stage. I spy a few items in your new holiday catalog that will certainly do the trick. That capelet is a beauty!

German chancellor meets Abbas, assures him that aid to PA would stay the same under new government
Published: 10.18.13, 14:42 / Israel News
German Chancellor Merkel Angela Merkel
met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
on Friday and called on Israel
to show restraint with its settlement policy so as not to jeopardize the ongoing Middle East talks. In a joint press conference with Abbas in Berlin
Merkel said a grand-coalition government in Berlin would continue to provide aid to the Palestinian Territories.
"We have always advocated a two-state solution. We have always advocated aiding and supporting the Palestinian Territories, advancing the peace process, advancing economic development and I am pretty sure we will conduct our foreign policy with this continuity," Merkel said.
Related stories:
"That the Palestinians have halted their attempts to join further United Nations bodies is an up-front concession for these talks, and in the same measure we have appealed to Israel to restrain itself in extending settlements," said Merkel.
"I have repeatedly said that to Prime Minister Netanyahu,
since we ought not to imperil this consultation process," she added.
Abbas, who spent an hour at the chancellor's office, stressed the Palestinian side is earnestly trying to conduct the talks. "We should accept this historic opportunity. We appeal to the Israeli side to seize this chance," Abbas told reporters.
Merkel and Abbas also discussed the conflict in Syria. Merkel said a fresh conference in Geneva to find a political solution among the Syrian
parties must be held "as soon as possible."

News Release: Associated Press
August 12, 2014
MIAMI (AP) -- Nearly 100,000 Floridians who bought health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could have their coverage cancelled by the end of September if they don't send in documents confirming their citizenship and immigration status.
Consumers can expect emails, phone calls and letters this week from federal health officials urging them to clear up the inconsistencies with their healthcare.gov applications.
Federal health officials said Tuesday that those documents must be submitted by September 5 or the health coverage will end September 30.
Nearly 1 million consumers have inconsistencies with their applications. The feds have closed 450,000 cases and another 210,000 are in progress. But 310,000 consumers haven't submitted any documents, including 93,800 in Florida.
Florida has the highest number, followed by Texas with 52,700.
The inconsistencies addressed Tuesday only apply to immigration issues. Problems with income verification will be handled later.

Microsoft announced that it has sold 70 million Xbox 360 consoles worldwide since it launched in November of 2005. The news was part of the company's first quarter 2013 financial results (July 2012 – Sept. 2012), which saw the Xbox division post total revenue of $1.95 billion, down 1 percent from the same period a year ago. During the quarter, Microsoft sold 1.7 million Xbox 360 consoles worldwide, down 600,000 units (29 percent) from the same period a year ago. Microsoft also said that Xbox Live gold memberships were up now at 40 million.
Microsoft chief financial officer Peter Klein described the console market as "challenged" during a conference call to discuss results, and forecasted a decline in revenue for the company's Entertainment and Devices division for the next quarter. The company also predicted single-digit growth for the full fiscal year.

it to suit your own style and/or preference

and you'll know what I mean)
3. Send any comments, suggestions, etc to:

Mary's Miscellanea: Labor Day, then and now
Labor Day was born on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City from an idea of labor activist Peter McGuire to honor the worker.
Two yeas later, the holiday was moved to the first Monday in September and Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894.
For an excellent history of Labor Day, visit the Time for Kids website at http://www.timeforkids.com/news/history-labor-day/12426.
I don't know how much celebrating was done on Labor Day in Territorial days, but many towns in the territories held their own Labor Day parades and festivities with picnics, contests and political speeches,
• 100 years ago
In 1913, there was no parade, but 3,000 people enjoyed a program provided by labor organizations at Fair Park.
There were speeches, motorcycle races, a fat woman's race, vaudeville acts and a baseball game.
• 75 years ago
For 1938, "Labor had its annual march in Oklahoma City with parade, wrestling show and dance."
"Participating in the parade were more than 5,000 representatives of 48 American Federation of Labor unions."
• 50 years ago
In 1963 the school child was truly celebrating the end of summer – School would start the next day with a promise of temperatures in the high '90s.
The holiday traffic death toll was 12.
Henryetta held a Labor Day celebration with an estimated 10,000 people attending the traditional parade and a speech against the right-to-work law by the National Farmers Union president.
• 25 years ago
Labor Day 1988 offered pari-mutuel horse racing for the first time in Oklahoma with 18,863 people attending Remington Park's opening day.
A balloon festival that had to contend with high winds, a parade with more than 70 entries, the Arts Festival Oklahoma, and the Great Raft race were all ways Oklahomans enjoyed Labor Day.
• How will you spend Labor Day weekend this year?
For me, I'll be staying cool and trying to get the last wall of my living room painted.
Have a safe Labor Day and enjoy more interesting stories in The Oklahoman's Archives.
If you come across the interesting or the odd or if you just have a question on Oklahoma history I might be able to answer, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Thousand Oaks, Calif.- For the third time in as many years, UCLA senior men's tennis player Tobias Clemens captured the singles title at the Sherwood Collegiate Cup.
Clemens, the tournament's No. 1 seed, came from behind to defeat teammate Kris Kwinta, 3-6, 7-6(3), 6-3. Clemens has now won 15 consecutive matches at Sherwood dating back to January of 2002.
Despite the loss, Kwinta rebounded to capture the doubles championship with teammate Alberto Francis. The duo defeated Cal's Patrick Briaud/Balazs Veress, 8-5.
UCLA returns to dual-match action next Thursday, hosting Fresno State at the Los Angeles Tennis Center beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Flashback: Cup win over Canaries
by Stuart Vose
We look back on Sunderland's last win at Carrow Road.
Sunderland, who head to Norwich on Saturday, last tasted victory at Carrow Road in the Carling Cup back in 2009.
Incredibly, City were then a League One club with former boss Paul Lambert just setting out on a journey which yielded two successive promotions.
Sunderland were three goals up at the halfway mark after Andy Reid added a well-taken double following Teemu Tainio's first goal for the club.
Wes Hoolahan pulled a goal back from close range just after the hour, but Owain Tudur Jones' own goal rounded out a 4-1 victory for the Black Cats in front of the Sky cameras.

Texas Tech Accepts Invitation To The 73rd Annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic
Dec. 7, 2008
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech University proudly accepted an invitation to the 73rd annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic and will face the University of Mississippi Rebels on Jan. 2 in front of a national television audience at 1 p.m. (CT) on Fox.
"On behalf of Chancellor Hance, President Bailey and the board of regents, we appreciate the Cotton Bowl staff and board of directors for extending Texas Tech an invitation to play in this most prestigious bowl game," said Texas Tech Director of Athletics Gerald Myers. "We look forward to spending a week with the staff and team from the University of Mississippi. Ole Miss has had a great season with a lot of big wins in the Southeastern Conference. Traditionally, the Cotton Bowl has been one of the great bowl games on New Year's Day and our team is excited to be a part of this year's game."
A limited number of tickets will go on sale to the general public tonight at 6:30 p.m. and will be available exclusively through texastech.com. Tickets that remain after tonight's online sales can be purchased either online or at the athletics ticket office on Monday morning beginning at 8:30 a.m. All tickets are $100 each.
Red Raider fans who preordered bowl tickets will receive the tickets they requested through the Texas Tech Athletics Ticket Office. Parking passes for all fans will be available for purchase beginning at 6:30 p.m. tonight on texastech.com.
Texas Tech students will have the opportunity to purchase tickets if they are members of the Student Red Raider Club on Wed., Dec. 10 and must do so in person at the athletics ticket office at Jones AT&T Stadium. General student (non Student Red Raider Club members) tickets will go on sale on Thurs., Dec. 11 under the same guidelines.
The Red Raider Club will not have a travel package to 73rd annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. Hotel information will be finalized and made available through texastech.com and texastechalumni.org late Monday.
"With Dallas being in such close proximity and with lots of our fans having family or friends in the area fans will have a variety of travel schedules making the travel package unnecessary," said Assistant Athletics Director, Amy McBride. "We will have room blocks at several hotels at a variety of price ranges to help accommodate our donors."
Texas Tech's selection to the Cotton Bowl marks the program's third New Year's game in the last four years and the first trip to Dallas since 2005 when the Red Raiders took on Alabama. The Red Raiders have now made nine consecutive bowl games under head coach Mike Leach and are the only program in the Big 12 to be bowl eligible every season since the league began play back in 1996.
"We are honored to be able to play in what I feel is the one of the most important bowl games of the year," said Texas Tech Head Coach Mike Leach. "When you look at all the great tradition and college football history that is tied to the Cotton Bowl, you can't help but be excited to be a part of that. Our team has worked hard to be in this position and I am grateful to the Cotton Bowl for rewarding their efforts."
The Cotton Bowl appearance will be the fourth for the Red Raiders but this year's game will also carry another big story line as it will be the final Cotton Bowl game played at Cotton Bowl Stadium. The game will move to the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington next season. Kickoff time has also changed for this year's game as the two teams will get underway at 1 p.m. instead of the traditional 10 a.m. time slot in the past.
Cotton Bowl Notes:
Senior Quarterback Graham Harrell
Senior safety Daniel Charbonnet
Sophomore running back Baron Batch

The 2012 Australian National Titles held in Mt Gambier, South Australia saw Factory Team CycleCraft Australia riders take home a total of 6 national plates with the team debuting in Corsa Racewear's cool Unleashed Series Racewear.
Women's Junior Elite rider Maddie Janssen took home top honors with a National #1 plate on her pink CycleCraft. Maddie had no trouble in the moto's resulting in two wins and a 2nd. Going into the final, Maddie lead from start to finish taking the National Title for 2012. Maddie also taking the win in Round 7 of the Probikx series on Thursday, while not competing in the series this year, she was the previous series winner for 2010-2011. This being Maddie's last year in Junior Elite, she will leave the class on a high after these titles and we look forward to seeing her join the ranks of the elite class.
CycleCraft's Elite Women's rider Rachel Bracken had a tough few days of racing. Competing in the last round of the Probikx Series, Rachel set the fastest time in the time trial, after cruising through her moto's she went into the final as the favorite. The final had Rachel and Nicole Callisto coming together in a heavy crash down the first straight, Rachel getting up to cross the line in 6th. Rachel's National title campaign was right on track, again placing 1st and 2nd's in her moto's and going into the final, Rachel crossing the line in 5th place after getting boxed in down the first straight. Rachel showed she was back in form with her sights already on next years titles in Brisbane.
New South Wales team riders Kristina Hagberg and Michael Young also achieving great results for CycleCraft both riding in the 17-24 class on 20' and Cruiser with Kristina making an appearance on the podium twice over the weekend. Racing in her combined 17+ women's 20' class saw Kristina cross the line 3rd place and in her Cruiser class taking home a well earned 2nd in the final. Michael Young's 20' class consisted of 56 riders, racing through his moto's, quarters and semi's at the pointy end he placed 6th in the final. Cruiser class on the Sunday, Michael scored 2nd's all the way to the semi's and scoring a well deserved 4A plate in the main.
Brock Smith CycleCraft Australia's 15 boys team rider raced in the Champbikx's series on the Thursday. Brock's moto's had him finish in the top 3. Racing in the final was tight, Brock was pushed wide into the first corner which delegated him down the pack finishing in 7th place. His National titles campaign hit off great in a large class of 43 riders, winning all his moto's and moving into the quarters his run finished early when he place 5th in his semi.

We use zimbra 5 os rc1. We need to have zimbra bind to a specific ip and are following this.
I have worked down to the tomcat section in that thread and zimbra 5 rc1 does not use tomcat, it uses jetty. So, can anyone tell me how to make jetty bind to a specific ip? I have googled and found some things but as you all know, zimbra config for jetty is quite different from others config. In the above link, i do not have a components.xconf. I do have a jetty.xml file but do not know where or if this is the file to make jetty bind to a specific ip. Any help is appreciated. We are aware that updates will wipe this "bind to a specific ip" out.

out front with us," Adams says. "He's
walked that talk."
BellSouth's diversity-management
practices, Ackerman says, have affected his personal management style. "I
find myself more proactively seeking
out individuals who have different
thought processes and sometimes
opposing views on a particular issue,"
he says. "I have found that being
inclusive in my decision making
actually leads to more innovation and
stronger results that help to move
BellSouth forward as a
business. At the end of the
day, this is about the company's business. We are all
here to make our company
successful and that is easier
if everyone is in the house.
Inclusion helps make that
powerful concept a reality."
Turner Broadcasting,
No. 7 on The 2006
DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for
Diversity list, reached the Top 10 for
the second consecutive year in large
part because of Chairman and CEO
Philip I. Kent. The company has
integrated diversity into every operating unit and relies on Kent and senior
leaders to drive the message through
the organization from the top.
Kent leads Turner's top-level
diversity council, includes diversity
updates in his quarterly company
communications and made diversity
one of the company's five guiding
operating principles.
"Everything starts with CEO
commitment," says Loretta Walker,
senior vice president of entertainment, human resources. "We have
a CEO who clearly gets it, clearly understands that
the world we serve is diverse and our people and our
programming that we use have to reflect that world."
Kent also interacts directly with employee-resource
groups, which usually are led by senior vice presidents
and which receive financial support from Turner. The
resource groups have to make annual presentations to
Kent and his team to show what they have accomplished
and why they should continue to receive funding.
It's important for Kent to take such a hands-on
approach, Walker says. "When you're the CEO and
you're putting it out there that this is important to me,
[you have] to be a leader in each of those," she says.
Without CEO commitment, a company is unlikely to
develop effective and aggressive diversity management.
With that in mind, DiversityInc changed the weighting
of the Top 50 survey's more than 200 questions this year,
placing the most emphasis on CEO commitment, followed by the other three core areas: human capital, corporate communications and supplier diversity. For the
"Last time I checked, every company was
hiring humans. So if we're all susceptible to some
biased ways of thinking, our view is we have an
institutional responsibility to challenge people to
think differently. Chris Sim"mons, PricewaterhouseCoopers
first time, companies in the Top 50 were to have demonstrated consistent strength in each of the components, as
a national diversity leader cannot be inconsistent.
"All of these areas are really strategic levers of diversity
as we see it and they're all interrelated," Wiley-Little says.
"Doing poorly in any one eventually impacts the
others that are doing well. It's important to keep a solid
focus on all of them and, really, it's about having a
long-term commitment."
For example, work-force diversity is critical at
Verizon, Yrizarry says, because the company needs to be
able to meet the needs of a diverse group of customers,
some of whom require in-language support or, in the
case of some people with disabilities, special services.
But having a diverse work force isn't enough.
"Suppliers are critical, too," Yrizarry says. "We want the
mix to be diverse. That's sometimes challenging. Not
everyone makes the technology we need, but we push on
our second-tier suppliers. We also think about diversity

Relatives of some of the more than 200 children missing in a sunken South Korean ferry offered DNA swabs on Saturday to help identify the dead as a rescue turned into a mission to recover the vessel and the bodies of those on board.
The Sewol, carrying 476 passengers and crew, capsized on Wednesday on a journey from the port of Incheon to the southern holiday island of Jeju. Thirty-two people are known to have died.
The 69-year-old captain, Lee Joon-seok, was arrested in the early hours of Saturday on charges of negligence along with two other crew members, including the third mate who was steering at the time of the capsize.
Prosecutors later said the mate was steering the Sewol through the waters where it listed and capsized - for the first time in her career.
Asked why the children had been ordered to stay put in their cabins instead of abandoning ship, Lee, apparently overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster, told reporters he feared they would have been swept out to sea in the strong, cold current.
Early reports said that the ferry turned sharply and listed, perhaps due to a shift in the cargo it was carrying and crew members said the captain, who was not initially on the bridge, had tried to right the ship but failed.
Some 500 relatives of the 272 people missing watched a murky underwater video shot after divers reported they had seen three bodies through the windows.
The official number of those missing was revised up from an earlier estimate of 269.
Packed in a gymnasium in the port city of Jindo day and night since Wednesday, tempers frayed and fist fights broke out after the video was shown. The video, viewed by relatives and journalists, did not appear to show any corpses.
"Please lift the ship, so we can get the bodies out," a woman who identified herself as the mother of a child called Kang Hyuck said, using a microphone.
Relatives have criticised what they say is the slow response of the government and contradictory information given out by authorities in the early stages of the rescue mission.
President Park Geun-hye was jeered by some when she visited on Thursday. "Park Geun-hye should come here again," Kang Hyuck's mother said.
Three cranes were moved close to the sunken ship on Saturday but were not deployed. Strong tides and rough weather again impeded efforts to get

Possibly the truest and most accurate way to describing the new effect on the total personality is to say he is more simple; and being more simple he has rather less insight into his own performance (p. 235).
The patient's options for action are reduced by a weakening of initiative and ability to structure his situation; emotionality fades, is organized more shallowly and is more dependent upon the immediate situation. Contact with other people becomes more flattened and the immediate bearing more mechanical (p. 115).
Hopelessness itself is tangled up with a host of negative or self-defeating emotions, such as guilt, shame and anxiety. Although often rooted in childhood, these self-destructive feelings can be amplified by repeated deployments into war zones with the resulting mental and emotional exhaustion. Ruptured relationships with loved ones are inevitable and devastating during these excessive deployments. When soldiers fight within civilian populations, they can be deeply affected not only by the death of their friends, but also by the death of innocent civilians. Restrictive rules of engagement add to the stress.
There is yet another potential contributor to suicide that is given far too little attention: psychiatric drug-induced suicide. A large percentage of soldiers are being sent into combat with several months' supplies of multiple psychiatric drugs to be taken and even renewed without supervision. On their return, with the slightest excuse, the military continues or initiates polydrug treatment.
At the present time, several classes of psychiatric drugs carry a black box warning about suicidality. Black box warnings are the highest level of warning imposed by the FDA on drug labels or package inserts. In my clinical experience, and confirmed by the scientific literature, nearly all psychoactive drugs can contribute to suicide, including alcohol and marijuana, and prescription drugs like antidepressants, stimulants, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Any chemical that clouds the consciousness, weakens frontal lobe function, depresses or stimulates the brain can lead to despair and hopelessness or the loosening of inhibitions against suicide.
I have done a series of easily available blogs on Huffington Post about the massive psychiatric drugging of our troops and veterans. I have documented the dangers of drugs in numerous books and scientific articles, including Medication Madness: The Role of Psychiatry Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide and Crime and in Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and Their Families.
Not only do most psychiatric drugs potentially increase the risk of suicide in some patients, as well as many other serious risks, no psychiatric drug has been shown to reduce the rate of suicide in controlled clinical trials. As a result, the FDA has not approved any psychiatric medications for the treatment of suicidality. On this basis, there is no clinical, scientific or common sense reason for giving psychiatric drugs in the vain hope of preventing suicide. A 2013 epidemiological study found that most suicidal behavior among adolescents starts after they have entered treatment.
The growing number of suicides in the military correlates with the escalating use of antidepressants and drug cocktails. In 2010 the Veterans Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress held a hearing that featured my scientific presentation on this growing problem. Returning military and veterans are being continued on wholly irrational combinations of multiple psychiatric drugs which could be contributing to suicide, violence and sudden "unexplained" death from cardiac arrhythmia and depression of the central nervous system. Douglas Kennedy on Fox News has done an admirable three-part series about the drugging of veterans.
What really helps suicidal people in the military or in civilian life? The psychological and spiritual restoration of hope.
Often in my clinical experience a carefully planned withdrawal from psychiatric drugs will bring suicidal feelings to an end. Some of the earliest clinical reports regarding Prozac-induced suicide, including Martin Teicher and his Harvard colleagues in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 1990 (pp. 207-210) showed that intense suicidal feelings typically abated after "as little as 3 days to as long as 3 months after discontinuation."
Without medication, hope can be revived in many ways from discovering "a reason to live" to finding new love or turning to God. Simply put, any aspect of life and living that can restore hope can help a person overcome suicidal feelings.
As a psychiatrist and psychotherapist, two principles are confirmed in my practice on a daily basis. First, offering psychiatric medications to individuals often undermines their trust in their own personal capacity to triumph over suicidality and often chemically worsens their condition. Second, establishing a meaningful relationship with the suicidal person is the most significant way of disarming suicidal impulses. The best way for a therapist, or anyone else, to help a suicidal person is by building a relationship that is caring and offers hope. As a part of my series called "Simple Truths about Psychiatry," I have recently posted my video about how to help people who feel suicidal without resort to drugs.
When suicidal feelings are not drug-induced, people are helped by understanding that they would not have such despairing and self-destructive feelings about life if they did not harbor secret wishes for a much better life. They will benefit from knowing that the more intense their suicidal feelings, the more intense their thwarted desire to live a much better life. They can be helped by an encouraging conversation about all the things they once wanted to live for -- all the unfulfilled hopes and desires from becoming guilt-free to expressing their creativity and finding true love. This is not unrealistic or pie-in-the-sky. The most desperately suicidal people can find within themselves an even stronger impulse to live and to love life.
This post is part of a special Huffington Post series, "Invisible Casualties," in which we shine a spotlight on suicide-prevention efforts within the military. Every weekday in September, we'll feature a different blog post by someone who is either an expert in the field, who has been affected by a suicide, or who has contemplated suicide.

There is no simple remedy for drug-company falsification of data and scientific reports. We can exert political pressure to strengthen the FDA; but to strengthen the FDA we must go up against... the FDA itself. -- Peter Breggin, M.D.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.
As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.
10 October 2012 -- Terming depression, which afflicts 350 million people worldwide, an "under-appreciated global health crisis," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today called for an international effort to increase access to a wide variety of effective and affordable treatments and remove the social stigma attached to the illness.
In the United States, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) observes a week of awareness in the first full week of October by the direction of a congressional order passed in 1990. NAMI reports that one in four U.S. adults experiences a mental health problem in any given year. One in 17 lives with serious, chronic illness.
You will never guess what the fifth and sixth best-selling prescription drugs are in the United States, so I'll just tell you: Abilify and Seroquel, two powerful antipsychotics. In 2011 alone, they and other antipsychotic drugs were prescribed to 3.1 million Americans at a cost of $18.2 billion, a 13 percent increase over the previous year, according to the market research firm IMS Health.
It was also soon discovered that the second-generation antipsychotic drugs had serious side effects of their own, namely a risk of increased blood sugar, elevated lipids and cholesterol, and weight gain. They can also cause a potentially irreversible movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia, though the risk is thought to be significantly lower than with the older antipsychotic drugs.
We hereby petition the Food and Drug Administration (hereinafter "FDA"), pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act ... to immediately revoke the pediatric indication for Risperdal®, all generic version of risperidone, and Invega (an extended release and injectable medication which includes the same primary active metabolite as Risperdal) unless and until the long-term safety of the drug can be demonstrated, or in the alternative to immediately require that labeling for Risperdal® and all generic versions of risperidone include a black box warning on the lack of sufficient safety data.
SPIEGEL: Experts speak of 5.4 million American children who display the symptoms typical of ADHD. Are you saying that this mental disorder is just an invention?
Kagan: That's correct; it is an invention. Every child who's not doing well in school is sent to see a pediatrician, and the pediatrician says: "It's ADHD; here's Ritalin." ... The problem is, if a drug is available to doctors, they'll make the corresponding diagnosis.
SPIEGEL: So the alleged health crisis among children is actually nothing but a bugaboo?
Kagan: We could get philosophical and ask ourselves: "What does mental illness mean?" If you do interviews with children and adolescents aged 12 to 19, then 40 percent can be categorized as anxious or depressed. But if you take a closer look and ask how many of them are seriously impaired by this, the number shrinks to 8 percent. Describing every child who is depressed or anxious as being mentally ill is ridiculous. Adolescents are anxious, that's normal. They don't know what college to go to. Their boyfriend or girlfriend just stood them up. Being sad or anxious is just as much a part of life as anger or sexual frustration.
SPIEGEL: What does it mean if millions of American children are wrongly being declared mentally ill?
Kagan: Well, most of all, it means more money for the pharmaceutical industry and more money for psychiatrists and people doing research.
SPIEGEL: And what does it mean for the children concerned?
Kagan: For them, it is a sign that something is wrong with them -- and that can be debilitating. I'm not the only psychologist to say this. But we're up against an enormously powerful alliance: pharmaceutical companies that are making billions, and a profession that is self-interested.

I spent four years as an assistant manager at Cinnabon on the Pennsylvania Turnpike pulling in a whopping $6/hour. YOU try feeding 3 people on that wage.
I, however, refused to swallow my pride and apply for food stamps or medical assistance or section 8 housing. I scraped by on what I had. When I bought groceries, I bought them with the kids in mind - how much of a, b, and c do I need to feed the kids? When I made dinner at night, the kids ate first. I had any scraps that remained - a fish stick and two bites of mac and cheese, or half a chicken nugget and a handful of fries. I was thin back then, but I was very, very, painfully hungry. The bulk of my daily food intake was a free Cinnabon for lunch during my work shift.
The only assistance I accepted was a child care subsidy because without it, I would have been paying out more for daycare for two toddlers than I was bringing home in a pay period. Without that subsidy, I would have been unable to work.
While I'm happy that you, P4P, have never had to want for anything in your life, never had to hang your head and walk into the office of shame, never had to scrape together pennies to put gas in the tank and hope against hope it would be enough to get you home in a blizzard with tiny, dependent people in the backseat, we have not all been so fortunate.
I wish you would have applied for assistance - you were exactly why it is there, and I am happy to contribute taxes toward it.
P4P and people like him will never understand the need for social services, until they need them. It's just pure ignorance.
