Freshness Grows in the Bronx
What would you expect teens to do on a warm summer afternoon? Hit the pool or beach? Sure! Spend time in a mall or movie theater to cool off? Why not? Well, on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010, teens from the Bronx Family Center brought fresh fruits and vegetables to their South Bronx neighborhood. The Youthmarket, the first to be held at this center, was operated by youth from the Foster Care program. The teens worked hard together to meet the demands from dozens of children who visited the Youthmarket from surrounding Children's Aid Society early childhood programs and summer camps. Many kids were willing to purchase carrots and corn, which pleasantly surprised me, though the fruits remained popular throughout the day and sold out quickly.
Also present were the Next Generation Caterers, who demonstrated how to make zucchini pancakes, poached peaches with blueberries and fresh salsa. The Next Generation Caterers specialize in creating healthful, innovative cuisine made from fresh and seasonal ingredients. All the produce used in their cooking came from the Youthmarket. Along with preparing mouthwatering recipes, the caterers were excellent teachers for the younger children who were not as willing to try something "new."
On hand to lend his support, and to organize a few carrots and potatoes, was Michael Wagner, Director of Permanency for Adoption and Foster Care at the Bronx Family Center.

I was bored in SeaTac Airport (my flight got delayed) and so I pulled out my laptop. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but I didn't have any other entertainment options. My brain didn't have the mental energy to be productive, minesweeper wasn't cutting it, and I was regretting not installing at least some decent game on my laptop. But then to my surprise, it was picking up wireless networks! My heart skipped a beat. I got ready to go browse wikipedia and check out the news and blogs, which I figured would be guaranteed to keep me occupied. Not having Civ4 installed on my laptop wouldn't be so bad afterall.
But then the wireless services required members ships and fees. And since I'm
cheap frugal, that meant no wireless for me. I ended up getting a coffee and writing up some blog entries (which is why my march blogging activity may be abnormally high).
It sure will be nice when internet connectivity is such a basic part of our infrastructure that it's just "there". Kind of like drinking water fountains.

Maple View Dairy: Building Trust in Local Production
When we reported on Ben and Jerry's teaming up with Ecotricity to combat global warming, one irate commenter informed us that it was 'total rubbish' due to the environmental impacts of the dairy industry . While we agree that over consumption of animal products, be they meat or dairy, are a huge threat to the planet, we find it hard to see the whole world turning vegan in a hurry. It is in this spirit then that we are posting on Maple View Farm, a dairy producer in Hillsborough, North Carolina that is loved by the local community, not only for their delicious locally-sold ice cream, dairy products and meat, but also for their responsible attitude to environmental stewardship.
Maple View is staunchly and proudly synthetic hormone free, and while some products now come in recyclable plastic containers, the dairy is still aggressive in promoting the use of old-style returnable milk bottles. This is something which is supported strongly by the local community. In fact, according to a recent article in local Chapel Hill Magazine, when the local retail giant Food Lion muscled the dairy's products off the shelves, sales of Maple View barely dipped as customers just went elsewhere for their favorite milk. When Food Lion changed their mind, and asked Maple View to return, the company declined, stating that they 'didn't want to continue a business relationship with somebody who would do that.'
The magazine interview (unfortunately unavailable online) also points out another important factor in the benefits of the local economy, namely trust. When the dairy found out last year that their cows had eaten feed contaminated with the carcinogen aflatoxin, they were forced to dump thousands of gallons of milk in a week. Muffin Brosig, a spokesperson for the farm, attributes the farm's handling of this crisis to local support and loyalty:
"We overcame that crisis due to the support of the community. I think it's a matter of the community trusting us. We probably even picked up a few customers in the process."
Without doubt, part of this loyalty comes from the transparent nature of the farm's operations. They are careful to provide plenty of detail about all aspects of the business, and the farm's website serves as an educational interface on land management, crops and animal husbandry practices.
Of course, the deliciousness of the ice cream may also have something to do with their success
Maple View products are available from their country store, their Carrboro outlet, and from these stores.

If I were a woman, I think life for me would be a lot different. I would have taken a very different paths in life. I may have even had a different career. I wouldn't say my life would have been a lot happier, but it'd definitely be a lot easier.
And I might have actually pursued my interest in Heath Ledger. It would have been possible, then. If I were a woman, I would want him to sire my children. I think he has great genes and I would want to participate in continuing his bloodlines.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Motorists will soon risk getting pulled over and ticketed if they text while driving in West Virginia.
The State Police and other law enforcement agencies plan to start enforcing this part of a new distracted driving law on Sunday.
Also as of July 1, drivers can be cited for hands-on cell phone use. But that violation along cannot trigger a traffic stop until mid-2013.
Violating the law is punishable by a $100 fine for a first offense.
State Police officials say troopers will apply discretion while enforcing the new law. That department and other state agencies hope an ongoing education campaign will help dissuade motorists from this common but dangerous habit.
West Virginia has put up signs along highways and taken other steps to alert people to the looming ban.

As I think of my life in terms of welcoming the stranger as a lifestyle, rather than an antidotal event, I am forced to go back many years, even decades. Back in the day, my wife and I routinely welcomed strangers into our home for a night or even a few days, sharing food and clothes with them as they might have need. We also had a regular stream of individuals who stopped by our door desiring a bite to eat, and my wife was always more than happy to serve them soup, burritos, sandwiches, whatever we had on hand. I remember our two oldest children begging their mom to carry out the food to those who came to our door. We had wonderful, delightful times, even once when we think we actually 'entertained an angel unaware'.
What has changed with time? I cannot blame the change in me on having been "taken advantage of." I have better stuff now, perhaps I am afraid to lose what I have – my life, my stuff, my space!? Yes, I think that is it, not the stuff, but my space. I do not want to lose my space to just be, and in fact I jealously guard my space. Yes, this is all too true. In fact, as I consider all this, I would say I that I now actually take steps to not welcome the stranger.
Now I am not talking about choosing not to help people in need, for instance, by giving directions, helping them figure out the ticket machine or what train they need to take, or even, giving some change to someone who asks, but I do not welcome these people. I am kind, but I have definitely learned the art of arm length caring. By that, I mean the ability to be kind in a separate, polite way that creates distance and is anything but welcoming.
I travel on the commuter train and have discovered how to position myself to create the greatest likelihood of no one entering my space, no one sitting next to me, or talking to me. I also see my home as a place of sanctuary: my sanctuary – a place of undisturbed quiet leisure, unhurried being, a place free from disruption. As I write this, it appears to me that my stance toward others is not exactly in harmony with the way Jesus interacted with people. If say, I am sick and going to a friends mother-in-laws house to rest, I am not going to spend the entire night healing people, or if I head out to the country to get away from everything, certainly I am not going to volunteer to organize and cater a meal for some 5,000 people, nor if I am taking a leisurely walk on the water and a boat load of lunatics starts screaming that I am a ghost, will I choose to stop and help. I will keep on walking. The current state of my heart toward welcoming strangers is a tad unnerving. It is time for me to have a sit down with Jesus and talk this through in greater detail. I am grateful for a God who welcomes me, cares for me, and loves me just as I am and also invites me into new places of growth into Christ-likeness. It is time for my come-to-Jesus-talk regarding welcoming the stranger. What about you?
Join the Conversation
How are you at welcoming the stranger? Have you cultivated the ability to be kind and caring from a safe distance or do you, like Jesus jump right in the middle of these encounters?
Is Jesus inviting you to explore/expand your posture of welcoming the stranger? What might Jesus be inviting you into? What might that look like?
Are you resistant to welcoming the stranger? What might be behind this? Ask Jesus to search you and help you to discover what might be holding you back from welcoming the stranger.

VIENNA (Nov. 3)
Leaders of the Jewish community here were assured today that the share of Jews in Austria of funds to be paid by the Austrian Government as compensation for Jewish losses under the Nazi regime will not be smaller than the share received by Austrian Jews living abroad.
This assurance was given at a plenary session of the Vienna Jewish Community by Dr. Nehemiah Robinson, representative of the Jewish Claims Committee on Austria, which conducted the reparations negotiations with the Austrian Government. His statement was made to offset rumors among Jews in Austria that the Claims Committee would favor the Austrian Jews living abroad at the expense of the surviving Jews in Austria.

The Demography of Corporations and Industries
Most analysts of corporations and industries adopt the focal perspective of a single prototypical organization. Many analysts also study corporations primarily in terms of their internal organizational structures or as complex systems of financial contracts. Glenn Carroll and Michael Hannan bring fresh insight to our understanding of corporations and the industries they comprise by looking beyond prototypical structures to focus on the range and diversity of organizations in their social and economic setting. The result is a rich rendering of analysis that portrays whole populations and communities of corporations.
The Demography of Corporations and Industries is the first book to present the demographic approach to organizational studies in its entirety. It examines the theory, models, methods, and data used in corporate demographic research. Carroll and Hannan explore the processes by which corporate populations change over time, including organizational founding, growth, decline, structural transformation, and mortality. They review and synthesize the major theoretical mechanisms of corporate demography, ranging from aging and size dependence to population segregation and density dependence. The book also explores some selected implications of corporate demography for public policy, including employment and regulation.
In this path-breaking book, Carroll and Hannan demonstrate why demographic research on corporations is important; describe how to conduct demographic research; specify fruitful areas of future research; and suggest how the demographic perspective can enrich the public discussion of issues surrounding the corporation in our constantly evolving industrial society. All researchers and analysts with an interest in this topic will find The Demography of Corporations and Industries an invaluable resource.
"Destined to become the standard reference . . . Caroll and Hannan admirably chronicle the first steps toward legitimizing organizational demography as a distinct specialist form."--David Knoke, American Journal of Sociology
"This is one of the most scientific textbooks in the field. . . . [It] serves as an (almost) ideal example for students and scholars alike, and it is highly relevant for nearly everybody interested in organizations, policy, management, strategy, and contingency. Students of modernity will also find much of interest."--Jeroen Bruggeman, Contemporary Sociology
"The Demography of Corporations and Industries [is] . . . the reference book on the subject."--Hallie J. Kintner, Population Studies
"A compelling contribution that is destined to be a mandatory addition to the bookshelves of the beginner and the advanced scholar and a testament to the vigor and reach of the ecological program of research."--Hayagreeva Rao, Administrative Science Quarterly
"The Demography of Corporations and Industries is an ambitious book. Originating in research on organizational ecology, the authors adopt a demographic perspective in which variety among firms within industries becomes the object of analysis. Vitality resides in the differences--which has important ramifications for organization theory and for public policy toward business. This book will influence research on organizations well into the new millennium."--Oliver Williamson, University of California, Berkeley

black lung
Tag archives for black lung
MSHA fought for 20 year to eliminate the use of an average over multiple shifts to characterize miners' exposure to respirable coal mine dust. It seems strange now to read MSHA announce the success of a new coal dust regulation by reporting the annual average coal mine dust levels.
New report chronicles the low wages of child care workers; Johns Hopkins black lung review still unfinished; California nurses go on strike; and OSHA calls on retailers to protect their workers during Black Friday.
Article series investigates lead poisoning at the nation's gun ranges; autopsy shows coal miner was wrongly denied black lung benefits; health care workers take part in mass protective gear training; and a Wells Fargo employee sends a big email about income inequality.
Pregnant workers at center of major Supreme Court case; new legislation could help miners with black lung get needed care; thousands of Amazon.com workers in Germany go on strike; and labor advocates oppose changes to the National Labor Relations Board.
McDonald's ruling could be a major turning point for the fast food worker movement; federal commission clarifies rules for pregnant workers; miners with black lung may have been wrongly denied benefits; and a new OSHA whistleblower partnership is launched to support commercial carrier workers.
The Huffington Post investigates how the mining industry cheats worker safety; Seattle set to raise minimum wage to $15; and the death of a hummus plant worker could have been prevented with better safety practices.
Conditions on Florida tomato farms improve thanks to the Fair Food Program; federal officials are developing a protective inhalation screening level for the West Virginia chemical spill region; and a Government Accountability Project expert testifies on whistleblower protections in observance of Workers Memorial Day.
The Labor Department announced new regulations to better protect coal miners from developing coal mine dust lung diseases. The are a step in the right direction, but not as stringent as proposed.
Three hours after I wrote this "The US Department of Labor has a plan to eliminate coal mine dust lung disease (a.k.a. black lung.) It's been stuck in White House review for eight months, under the watch of a reg czar who promised timeliness of reviews," they announced they were issuing the new rules.
The list of Pulitzer Prize winners released earlier this week includes several journalists who addressed public-health issues, from black lung to food stamps.

Yes, Ramesh, you DA MAN. You'll note I didn't even give a prediction. I thought Alaska would be a loss for us, so my number was not at +4. I was thinking +4 would be a dream scenario, and was thinking more along the lines of +2. I am very pleased that my adopted home state of Louisiana put the first GOP Senator in office since Reconstruction and did so by a majority of the votes. The huge pickup in the Senate and the defeat of Daschle is obviously the second biggest story of this election. It is almost as big as story for Bush as the actual win in the Presidential race. I am most hopeful with respect to the backlog of well qualified Bush judges who may get a shot at confirmation now. How many Blue Senators in Red States are going to want to roll the dice on going the path of Tom Daschle for the sake of filibustering Bush judges now? I would think that this clears the way for confirmations to start up again. No doubt that Leahy and company will want to continue the fight, but does Harry Reid and other "moderates" have the stomach for it?
Ramesh Is My Senate Hero

Here's a golden nugget from Ann Arbor's Dr. Dan Saferstein's little book, Win or Lose: A Guide to Sports Parenting:
"Most of us have an easier time being math parents than we do being sports parents. We don't stand over our children as they're doing their homework, hollering at them to round to the highest decimal or carry their zero. We trust that they'll be able to figure things out on their own, and if they can't, they'll get the help they need from their teachers or by asking us.
"What a lot of sports parents seem to forget is that young athletes also need the same space to figure things out on their own. They need to learn how to think and make decisions during game situations, which isn't easy to do when your parent (or someone else's parent) is shouting out directions.
"The reality is that if your child could score a goal or stop a defender, he would. In most cases, telling your child to move faster to the ball is like telling him to be taller. Effort isn't the only critical factor in sports, or in math. Some children will never be high-level athletes no matter how hard they try, which is by no means a tragedy. The world doesn't necessarily need more gymnastics, softball or soccer stars. It needs more young people who are willing to try and make our world a better place."

Damon has cracked bone in finger tip
UPDATE, 6:11: Maddon said Damon is able to play the outfield and could be used there as part of an in-game move, but likely will be limited to DH duties when the lineup is made out.
DEVELOPING: DH/LF Johnny Damon confirmed that the bone is cracked in the tip of his left ring finger is cracked and won't be fully healed for about a month, but he plans to play - or at least DH - through the pain. The Rays and Damon had been saying he just had a bruise, but after returning to the lineup on Thursday he acknowledged it was worse.
"I know if you say it's broke more than likely they'll try to throw you on the DL, so we just kept it under wraps and they knew that I was ready to come back and play and here I am,'' Damon said. "It's not healed. I can actually grip the bat without feeling too much discomfort.''
As it is, Damon described the finger as feeling "super numb" but said he can squeeze the bat without putting too much pressure on it. Damon didn't wear any additional padding or protection when he hit, aside from his usual Franklin batting gloves, because he feels it changes his swing too much.
Damon said he hopes to tolerate the pain and be able to keep hitting, but acknowledged it would be difficult to grip the ball properly to throw. "I just can't squeeze it as much as I want,'' he said. Also, playing the field would increase the chances of his hitting and irritating the finger further.
As it is, "there will be some times when I swing the bat you'll see me probably grimace and you'll know I got stung,'' he said.
Plus, Damon said, in a nod to leftfield replacement Sam Fuld, "Sam is too good out there anyways.''

Picture: Prince item gets auctioned off Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) pajama and lingerie party at the Playboy Mansion Los Angeles, California - 19.05.07
Pop superstar Prince walked out of a screening of Ben Affleck's new movie JERSEY GIRL - because he didn't like the swearing in it.
The pop superstar - famous for his risque lyrics - hates to hear profanity since becoming a Jehovah's Witness and has dropped the more controversial songs from his current hits tour.
He says, "We walked out (of Jersey Girl) after an hour. Guess that's what happens when the potty mouth don't work for you anymore."
Prince, who once appeared naked on the cover of his LOVESEXY album, is also urging his peers to use the Janet Jackson breast baring scandal as a mark that such shockers should be a thing of the past.
He adds, "After Janet, we've gone too far. We've pushed the envelope off the table and forgotten there was a table."
Jersey Girl director Kevin Smith isn't too concerned with Prince's criticism.
He jokes, "I'm cool with him not liking Jersey Girl. I f**king hated his album CRYSTAL BALL, so now we're even."16/04/2004 09:21

1. Re: MS sqlserver to Oracle migrationKgronau-Oracle Feb 5, 2013 7:34 AM (in response to 988869)Let me start with your question #2.
In my SQl Server database I created a table 8x8 and I've started the migration. The table is renamed in Oracle to A8x8.
When I now create the offline data migration scripts in SQL Developer it is aware of the object name change and creates the offline files accordingly.
Here the script which is used to export the SQl Server data:
bcp "gateway.dbo.8x8" out "data\dbo_gateway.A8x8.dat" -q -c -CRAW -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -U%2 -P%3 -S%1
You see it creates an export of the 8x8 table and puts the content into the A8x8.dat file.
The Oracle SQL*Loader control file then uses this dat file and puts the content into the A8x8 table:
infile 'data/dbo_gateway.A8x8.dat'
"str '<EORD>'"
into table dbo_gateway.A8x8
So in general when you rename the objects using SQL Developer at the Convert stage where you can change the data type mapping or rename objects, then SQl Dev takes care of it and creates the offline files accordingly.
Regarding #1 there's no generic tool and as usual it depends on a lot of factors. Some customers just check out the log and then just switch the application to now use the Oracle database, others perform more tests like checking the amount of data in the source and target, check of mandatory constraints etc. So here it really depends on your effort you're going to spend.

FOOTLOOSE is an upbeat musical featuring such 80s classics as Holding Out For A Hero, Hear It for The Boy and, of course, the title track, writes Michael Cooke.
As such it was a great choice for Melton Vale Post 16 Centre's latest show and cast, band and crew surpassed themselves with a foot-tapping spectacular which had everything - excellent vocal performances and well-choreographed dance routines, drama and plenty of humour, too.
There were strong performances from all the leads, Roly Clarke, Yolanda Offodile, Olivia Bailey, Matthew Bloomfield and the outstanding Rosie Evans.
But, in truth, all the cast deserve credit with many taking on more than one role to help tell the story and explore the themes of loss, love and redemption.
The cast were well directed by Amy Breeze and backed up by the tight band of Dave Wilson, Sean Graham, Joe Broughton, Maddie Dale and Jill Wallis.
This was a cracking show, fully deserving of the loud applause and appreciative whistles it received as the cast performed their encore.

Boise, Idaho
It's official.
QBU needs a quarterback. What it has is a plucky little dude who is a scrapper and a fighter, but not a big-time quarterback. Not a BYU quarterback. Not a quarterback who can win games against quality opponents.
Boise, Idaho
It's official.
QBU needs a quarterback. What it has is a plucky little dude who is a scrapper and a fighter, but not a big-time quarterback. Not a BYU quarterback. Not a quarterback who can win games against quality opponents.
Another loss, a 7-6 defeat against Boise State here somewhere LaVell Edwards is feeling the onset of a migraine on Thursday night, gave the latest sorry evidence.
Riley Nelson had his chances in this game and when he had them, he blew them, he threw them to the Broncos, he fumbled them away. He couldn't do what a Cougar quarterback has to do for BYU to win.
Pass great. Play great. Be great.
This is not meant as a rip job on an honorable college athlete, an athlete who appears to be a fine student, a strong leader, a tough guy with a lot of admirable qualities.
What it is meant is the hard truth.
It is whispered that Nelson is hurt. He has a bad back, which is a mother of an injury for a football player. Anyone who ever has suffered back pain knows that not only can it slap down a quarterback, it can slap down anybody, it can change a man's personality.
But Nelson's problem, even before the pain, is this: He cannot throw the football. Not the way a BYU quarterback has to throw it with precision, with purpose, with accuracy.
As Robbie Bosco once said it, the guy behind center for the Cougars has to be nothing short of fantastic. He has to be the man. He has to be the center of the universe. He has to be the player who all the other players look to for excellence, for confidence, for performance. He has to make plays. He has to be the engine that makes everything go.
If he's not, the whole thing seizes up.
Well. The whole offense seized up Thursday night.
Nelson completed just 4 of 9 passes for 19 yards. That contributed to a meager 61 passing yards for the Cougar O that's an O for offense, not a zero for no points.
In the early dismal drip, Nelson stunted a deep drive that made it to the Boise State 2-yard line before a chop-block penalty backed the ball out to the 17, which preceded a bad interception thrown by Nelson. Later in the first half, Nelson killed another drive when he fumbled while scrambling.
Punch up a pillow and get comfortable, we're just getting started here.
At the 13:24 mark of the third quarter, Nelson fired a pick straight into the hands of BSU defensive lineman Mike Atkinson, who rrrrumbled 36 yards for a touchdown, giving the Broncos their only score.
During a subsequent possession, Nelson threw another interception, this one tipped before it was picked, setting up another Boise State drive that the Cougars' defense nobly shut down.
All of this offensive ineptitude was not the quarterback's fault. Just most of it. Before checking out midway through the third quarter, Nelson had those four completions against three interceptions and a fumble.
Have I mentioned that he's a good kid and a good student from a good family? That's true, too. But this isn't a Boy Scout blog. This isn't the Sunday School Tribune. At times like this, I kind of wish it were.
Nelson's just not a Cougar quarterback. He can run around a little. He can fire up teammates. He can beat bad-to-mediocre teams. But he cannot beat the teams BYU must beat to validate itself. He has not, anyway.
And he did not Thursday night before turning in and making way for freshman Taysom Hill. Side note: Hill led a terrific drive at the end maybe he'll be the guy? that nearly won the game with a TD and two-point try.
But it did not. Let's review: BYU scored a total of six points.
Against that subpar backdrop, on the other side of the ball, BYU's defense played great all night. But not well enough to exorcise the offense's demons.
And without the center of the Cougars' universe, those demons are hanging around until BYU gets what it needs: either a bad opponent or a great quarterback.

Hash Over
Holben hops
David Holben's position at FoodStar Restaurant Group (Mediterraneo, PoPoLos, Toscana) and The Riviera seemed as sure and unflappable as a stubborn rodent on a listing freighter. Yet he's jumping ship. His leap comes on the heels of exits from FoodStar by operations chief Michael Costa and chefs David Woodward, Paul Clark, and Gilbert Garza. He'll land at Richmont Corp., where, as executive chef, he'll stick his able fingers into Bistral Neighborhood Bistro & Bakery on McKinney Avenue and Wynnwood, the Richmont catering arm that operates Seventeen Seventeen. Commenting on the switch, Holben serves up a string of press release-type statements such as "I'm very excited" and "The Richmont people are first class," etc., etc. Still, it's weird to think of The Riviera without Holben.
Hot air for rent
Salim Asrawi has a suggestion for a raucously good time: Open a restaurant and have a city bureaucrat stick a regulatory proctoscope up your business plan. "You learn something new every day," he says. "It's the things you never think of." But city inspectors are always thinking. In odd ways. When Asrawi thought his second Texas de Brazil on Cedar Springs was poised to pass city inspection, he received one of those bureaucratic "by the ways" that makes your gullet rumble and your checkbook whimper. It seems city inspectors were annoyed that the restaurant's soon-to-be-blazing torches mounted high on the building's exterior poked over the sidewalk. By 12 inches. And the sidewalk is city property. So the inspectors demanded a $400 franchise fee to permit Asrawi to lease the violated air space above. Asrawi expects the total will come to about $600 annually. The things you never think of.
Geek relief
While Texas lawmakers did not pass legislation making direct wine shipments from producers to consumers a crime punishable by jail time, the world still isn't safe for wine lovers thirsting for scarce cult wines shipped directly from the winery. U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia tacked a measure onto the juvenile justice bill permitting states to use the federal court system to crack down on direct shippers. This gave Free the Grapes (www.freethegrapes.org), a coalition of wine geeks and winemakers, a red-wine migraine. They're urging consumers to protest laws restricting access to fine wines by popping a cork into an envelope and mailing it to Congress. Hell, screw the envelopes. Send truckloads. Think how much better off we'd be if Capitol Hill were buried in cork.

Bethenny Frankel picked up Bryn from school in New York City on Monday (October 1). The reality television star wore bright green jeans while Bryn sported pink boots, little sunglasses and a pink hairband. She also wore a denim jacket just like mom.
The 2-year-old looked really happy while sitting in her stroller. Perhaps it's because she knows the family will be moving to California?
Bethenny is getting her nationwide show launched in 2012. She announced the news on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
She said, "I am so excited for this next adventure. Hosting a talk show this summer and connecting with women every day made me realize that I have found my true passion.My heartfelt thanks go out to my dedicated fans who tuned in and helped make this great opportunity happen. This show will be for us. I am truly grateful for FOX's support of the show as well as Warner Bros.' and Telepictures' belief in me. I can't wait to get started!"

A beautiful day in Tampa and UCT has kicked off to a promising start.
Education sessions are under way, with strong showings in several tracks—I saw big crowds in Sewer Rehab, New Tech for Sewer/Water and Damage Prevention rooms, and plenty of action in Rigonomics. Still waiting on cumulative head counts, but the sessions are well-attended and running smoothly.
At 11:30 the Underground Construction Technology Association (UCTA, formerly GCTA) presented Andy Mayer of Murphy Pipeline Contractors with its annual MVP award for the biggest contributor to the advancement of trenchless methods at a white-tablecloth banquet lunch. Video of Mayer's speech is coming soon—watch to see why he thinks it took UCTA so long to recognize him, after he brought British prechlorinated pipebursting methods to the United States. Hint: it's his accent.
THe exhibit hall opens at 3:30 p.m. There's still time to catch a few more classes before then…

Chip Kelly was adamant that the Philadelphia Eagles would play their starters this Sunday night against the Chicago Bears, regardless of the game's influence in the standings. His opponent, on the other hand, is not so sure.
Turns out the Birds aren't the only team that might not have that much to play for this week. If the Detroit Lions lose and the Green Bay Packers win earlier that afternoon, the Bears will be facing the same scenario no matter the outcome in Philadelphia. The final game of the year would determine whether or not they make the playoffs.
This mirrors the Eagles' situation. If the Dallas Cowboys beat Washington, the NFC East champion will be crowned in Week 17 regardless of what happens Sunday night.
While Kelly insists his team still has something to play for—"We've got to be ready to play winning football"—Marc Trestman believes resting players is at least worth considering. For now, Chicago's head coach plans to play his starters, but unlike Kelly's plan, it's not etched in stone. Via Adam Hoge of CBS Chicago (per ProFootballTalk):
"Could that change? Certainly. But right now, we're focused on winning a game and there's nothing else to discuss at this time. And at 7 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday night, if the situation needs to be re-evaluated again, it's open for discussion."
Obviously, making the playoffs comes before seeding, and that's going to be much more difficult to do accomplish if a star player is injured the week before a play-in game.
At the same time, this week's tilt between the Eagles and Bears is not "meaningless." Whichever team wins on Sunday night will be guaranteed the third seed should they both go on to make the playoffs. That may seem minor, but it would delay a trip to Seattle, where the fourth seed will meet the Seahawks should it advance.
The Seahawks are 6-0 at home this season. Of course, any NFC team that has Super Bowl aspirations better count on playing there eventually.
It's an interesting debate, and we could see two different philosophies at work this week. On one hand, having a healthy and well-rested roster is important. On the other, both squads could use the extra work to hone their skills, plus it can send the wrong message to the players.
Personally, I'd love to see both teams go into the game with a chance to clinch the division, and really create a high-stakes, playoff-like atmosphere at the Linc. Then we'd really get a sense as to whether the Birds are playoff-ready.

Feminism and mental health - The drugs don't work(442 Posts)
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Message withdrawn
brilliant links dittany, thanks.
I have to say that regardless of 'effectiveness' these drugs are addictive. I had been on them for most of 15 years, and 'crash' horribly into severe depression whenever I come off them. I have heard of the same reaction from countless other people, yet the medical and psychiatric professions maintain that these drugs are completely non-addictive.
However, I have to say that I would suggest that the rise in the number of disabled mentally ill since 1955 is multifactorial: people are more open about their own and family members' issues, social support is breaking down (imho), narcissistic culture sets impossibly high standards and compulsory consumerism creates addiction and emptiness. It doesn't surprise me that depression etc is rising year on year.

There are and always have been massive problems with the integrity of psychiatry IMO. However, I'd much rather have our modern problem of over-prescription of anti-depressants than the psychosurgery and hysterectomies of the past. (Some influential doctors believed that a woman was rather controlled by her womb and this could cause her mental health problems, such as promiscuity or spinsterhood, that sort of thing. Ever wondered where the word hysteria comes from???)
I think there is a real problem with the huge amount of mental health issues amongst members of our society, and I reckon Oliver James was onto something with Affluenza, not read it but think the idea is interesting. Our capitalist consumer society where we live off the backs of the poor of other countries is possibly the biggest culprit as opposed to a psychiatric conspiracy.
oh gosh this is scary stuff.
I actually hope the article is wrong.... because I have followed exactly the pattern it describes, of being long-term depressed on increasing doses of SSRIs which became less effective over time, then being diagnosed as bipolar type II recently and put on mood stabilisers (actually an anti-epilepsy drug).
Dittany I have heard it can be incredibly difficult- certainly when I do it I have a horrible crash which makes it impossible to parent my kids- no exaggeration. I am divorced and don't have a month to go into drug rehab as I would need to

Hmm. yes I did when pregnant and trying to conceive. During pregnancy with ds2 I was severely depressed. The first time was not so bad but I put that down to idealising the experience of having a child :D. The last time was a month or so ago and truly horrible. No amount of talk therapy etc would have got me through it.

It's not really much of a choice is it? Be butchered or have your brain damaged? I don't think we need to imagine that those are the only options, Allusorus.
Agreed. I'm not condoning the over-prescription of psycho-active drugs by any means, but I think the issues are of our wider cultural context (of which unequal treatment of women is a part). I guess there is nothing wrong with pursuing psychiatry from a feminist standpoint but I think we need to face the reasons behind both our perceived and actual mental ill health as a culture aside from gender issues also.
Psychiatrists never cut men's testicles off did they. It was just women who had to be butchered.
Indeed. Psychiatry developed from a deeply misogynist point of view and the medical establishment are (unfortunately) still in thrall to many of the broader ideas of early figures like Freud although they claim to have distanced themselves from him in particular.
I have to read this tomorrow as it's so late. I felt compelled to say that SSRIs saved my life, literally. I still take them. I knew many women in the 70s who were dependent on huge doses of tranquillisers Valium or Librium; I feel it's important to stress that SSRIs are neither tranquillisers, nor addictive in the sense of needing increased dosage to maintain effects.
I know several men who also take SSRIs. While I'd be unsurprised to learn that more women are treated for depression than men - and would view that as a feminist issue - the question is far more complex than that. I see others have already mentioned some of the points I'd like to make.
Your quoted author refers to a drug-based paradigm of care. I don't think anyone - patient, clinician or carer - would dispute that mental illnesses need treatment with therapy as well as drugs. I was lucky to receive both for the first few years after becoming ill (until my insurance ran out!) but it's been close to impossible to maintain via the NHS and charities.
No part of this topic is clear-cut: there are no 'right' answers; the very new science of biopsychology is still racing to find out what causes mental illnesses; the development, reporting and treatment of mental disorders are bound to economic and social structures by their very definition.
Will definitely come back here, but wanted primarily to de-demonise SSRIs. They're the best we've got at present, and a damn sight better than what came before.

Remember this recent article in this country. The boy's father believes the boy hanged himself due to the drugs that he had been prescribed.
Dittany. I'm not sure what your problem is. If you're discussing the issues in mental health as related to women that's fine. But it is perfectly valid for me to point out that the problem is much wider than that. Why the hell shouldn't I do it on this thread?
By addressing psychiatry from a feminist POV some progress may be made, but you'd still be left with a deeply flawed system within a deeply mentally unhealthy society. That is my point. You want women to get better treatment then you're better looking at what's happening in the whole system and why we are such unhappy people in this country.
(As an aside, the fact that more women are on anti-depressant medication than men is not necessarily down to the medical profession's prejudices - and remember that many prescribed these drugs have only seen a GP - but down to self-selection. More women seek help for mental health problems than men and I don't think anyone informed would argue that this is because women are more mentally fragile but rather that they're more willing to seek help.)
Start the Week has clinical scientists Raymond Tallis on now. He is discyussing the reductionism inherent in neuromania, and the theory that we are our brains. I think he makes good points. The underlying philosophy behind it, as in part exemplified by the progressive philosopher, John Gray, is nihilistic. I believe it has a political aspect that is intentional. I think some of it is a reflection of teh progressive theories behind books like 'Brave New World', where drugs like soma are used to control the population in the 'world state'.
He also mentioned that the pink/blue divide for girls and boys is nonsense, as it was the opposite way around in Victorian times.
I am really, really glad that this thread is here. I wanted to start something about the (for me) pernicious effects of antids for ages, but thought as I am not a medic I would be shouted down. Plus I didn't want to scaremonger.
I have been suffering with severe depression for years, I have taken antids on and off. With no joy. They would work for a specific time, but then II would feel 100 times worse.
I progressed from fluoxetetine, to seroxat, to citalopram, to 37.5 g of venlafaxine, to 70g, to 140g. I never saw a psychiatrist in this time, was just prescribed them by GP. A couple of months ago I thought I was going mad, I would lay in bed at night clicking my fingers and thinking seriously of running away/hurling myself off a cliff. Was unable to cry, felt no joy.
I went back to GP in utter despair, he said he thought I was bipolar, and shouldn't be taking venlafaxine as it can make you psychotic if you are bipolar. He advised me to wean myself off gently. I looked on the internet and saw that it was very difficuly to stop taking venalfaxine. But I had had enough and just stopped. Thankfully I never had brain zaps, but felt like the angriest person in the world, with flu, for days. I just stayed in and tried not to scream at the cat.
Then - it lifted. The whole fucking fog lifted. I felt like someone NORMAL for the first time in ages. yes, I was still unhappy about many things (my relationship is falling apart, I have loads of family issues) but I could actually feel unhappiness, which felt better than the fucked off feeling of being disassociated from it, iyswim. It is actually quite scary how different I feel, and scary how much the drugs dampened every emotion, both good and bad.
I don't care how bad things get, I will never take SSRI or SNRIs again. They didn't work for me, they made me worse, and surely I cannot be the only one (actually I know I am not, read plenty of forums on the general hideousness of venlafaxine). I can't believe a GP presribed that willy nilly.
I am not a medic and obviously basing this assumption on my personal experience, but I genuinely believe that those drugs have more problems associated with them than is initially believed. It is frightening.

Prolesworth, you may be right. I have read reviews of his books, and I know that they are opposite to my views. Hence why I thought he was progressive. But I am very possibly wrong about him.
allegra - I am struggling with the withdrawal demons atm. It's terrifying how something so initially helpful is such a nightmare when you try to stop.
"with each episode usually lasting no more than six months and interspersed with long periods of normalcy, the conditions are now chronic and lifelong."Yes to that. I have always had episodes of depression and anxiety - dreadful while they lasted but temporary. But my life was such that I couldn't take 6m out to deal with my head. Citalopram worked wonders with me to start with and I had reached a point when I felt I needed something. But coming off it feels as bad as the original symptoms at times - the difference for me is knowledge and self-belief. I am determined that I will cope even if it kills me If someone could have helped me reach the emotional state of healthy that I am in now it might have been possible to beat the demons without the pills.
The most useful thing to research IMO is what it is about modern life that makes up so fucking unhappy! And why women?
Prolesworth, you're right about him. He doesn't seem to be progressive.
But I still think his views are wrong, because I think at heart they are nihilistic.
Drugs are dished out very easily, it is probably easier to get antidepressants that it is to get antibioitcs!
I certainly think my depression was made worse by the antids. I should have been prescribed some sort of counselling or behaviour therapy or something. But is probably cheaper and easier to give you some pills.
I agree with Orm - what the hell is it about modern life which makes you feel like the wheels are going to fall off your life and you are going nuts?
I always put down my depressive tendencies to my upbringing - which I still think has had an impact. And that can't be fixed with pills can it?
Mind you I went to a private counselling session once, and really didn't want to talk to someone about my life, how the hell could they help or understand? So my own bloody-mindedness scuppered me there. I think I will try counselling again though if I start falling down the black hole. Anything but those pills.

Is there any chance of us getting some kind of sneak peak for this game on the video game awards tonight?
4 Comments - Linear Discussion: Classic Style
Yeah also wondering about that but then again there is a reason why they are called mystery announcements.
Hmmmm I hope you guys are right! However, I find it kinda unlikely, as TellTale hasn't hinted at anything at all regarding this. But again, I hope you're right!
At what time does this air?
it's starting right now, but it replays like three times tonight one after the other so no rush to watch it haha
