Bobcats send Wizards to 14th straight loss, 107-96Mar 27, 2010 - 3:12 AM By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) -- An eventful day for the Washington Wizards ended with another loss and a dubious record.
Hours after suspended guard Gilbert Arenas was ordered to spend 30 days in a halfway house for a felony gun charge but avoided jail time, the Charlotte Bobcats pulled away late for a 107-96 victory Friday night to hand the Wizards their franchise-worst 14th consecutive loss.
"We're happy the judge was a little lenient on him," center Andray Blatche said. "But that's not something that right now I'm in a mood to talk about. We just had a game we lost."
It's all the Wizards have done since their last victory on Feb. 28.
Not even a career-high 19 points from Alonzo Gee, playing on his second 10-day contract and starting for the injured Al Thornton, could prevent their 50th defeat of the season.
Gerald Wallace scored 23 points, Stephen Jackson added 20 and the Bobcats overcame some lackadaisical stretches to move four games above .500 for the first time in their six-year history.
"I wasn't crazy about it," Bobcats coach Larry Brown said of his team's performance. "We turned the ball over too much. We got beat on straight line drives."
But it was good enough to beat the Wizards, who lost 13 straight in 1967 and 1995. But this season, which will be most remembered for Arenas bringing unloaded guns to the locker room in December, now includes the franchise's longest skid, too.
"I told our guys we can't look behind us and say we've lost 13, 14," coach Flip Saunders said. "We've got to look at the next game as a way to get better. Whether you like it or not, we haven't been favored to win any games in the 14 games that we've played."
Not after the trades that sent Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Brendan Haywood out of town to clear salary-cap space. Arenas' future with the club is uncertain, too. He began serving his season-long suspension on Jan. 6.
"He paid his debt to society," said Randy Foye, who scored 17 points off the bench. "He'll go serve his time. It's only going to make him a better person. He knows he made a mistake."
Saunders used his 24th different starting lineup after Thornton (hip flexor) was scratched. Besides Gee, James Singleton, who had a career-high 21 rebounds in Wednesday's loss to Indiana, started ahead of JaVale McGee.
Gee, who was playing in the NBA Development League, shot 5 of 9 and made 7-of-10 free throws in 32 minutes. But despite hitting 12-of-20 3-pointers, the Wizards couldn't contain the Bobcats at the other end.
"We got more aggressive defensively and that opened up a whole lot of things," Wallace said.
The Bobcats allowed the Wizards to cut a 17-point deficit to 91-86 with 5:45 left. But Charlotte responded with a 14-0 run with several easy baskets in transition to improve to 27-8 at home.
"Once again the fourth quarter," said Blatche, who scored 18 points but had six of Washington's 18 turnovers. "It's getting to a point where some guys have got to take this more serious. It's got to hurt. If it doesn't hurt you, then you don't care. I think that's what our problem is."
Charlotte's second meeting with Washington this week completed one of the easiest stretches of any NBA team. The Bobcats, who handed Minnesota its 14th straight loss a day after beating the Wizards the first time, became only the third team in league history to play three straight games against teams with losing streaks of least 10 games. The Elias Sports Bureau said the Grizzlies did it in 1998 and the Jazz two years earlier.
Raymond Felton added 19 points and 11 assists as the Bobcats inched closer to a playoff berth.
"We've got to approach every game like it's a playoff game to kind of prepare ourselves and make sure we stay in the playoffs," Felton said.
Felton shot 8 of 10 and Wallace 8 of 12 for the Bobcats, who shot a season-high 55 percent to complete a 4-0 series sweep of Washington.
"It's been a roller-coaster," Foye said. "We've just got to keep believing."
NOTES: New Bobcats owner and former Wizards executive Michael Jordan wasn't in his courtside seat. ... Thornton said he could miss a couple more games. "It hurts to put on pants in the morning," he said. ... Brown said he's talked to Saunders about his miserable season. "I told him to stick to your values," Brown said. "It's no accident why he's won before." ... Wizards trainer Eric Waters was hospitalized before the game for an appendicitis. ... The Bobcats will field a summer league team in Orlando with Jordan now in charge. They didn't last year to save money.

The women's and gender studies program and the Department of History at Mount Allison University are proud to present the online publication of 'We Were Here: Exploratory Essays on Women's History at Mount Allison University'.
As an investigative collection of undergraduate student essays from the special topics seminar on Canadian Women's History (HIST 4951) 2005-2007, it covers a wide array of topics on the history of local women at Mount Allison University and in the town of Sackville.
The achievement of this collection is threefold:
- in providing senior undergraduate students the experience of conducting original research — using both archival and oral history methods — thereby contributing towards the creation of historical knowledge at the local/regional level
- furnishing the opportunity to employ critical feminist approaches to historical research — especially in relation to the theories and methodologies guiding their research process within a Canadian women's history context
- and finally, honoring the memory of Mary Electa Adams and her substantial contribution to Mount Allison University as a progressive educator of women
We gratefully acknowledge the funding and overall support of The Purdy Crawford Teaching Centre (PCTC)in making this online publication available.

One of my few regrets in life is never having seen the late, great Junior Wells perform live. While clips on Youtube and live recordings have simulated the experience, there has always been something missing - until now.
Following Delmarks critically acclaimed Junior Wells release Live at Theresas-1975, Delmark released Live in Boston 1966, a set captured at an unnamed club in Boston. Backed by The Aces (Louis Myers on guitar, Dave Myers on bass and Fred Below on drums), rather than a Best Of live package Live in Boston - 1966 appears to have been culled from a few well placed condenser microphones during one live set. In fact, my only complaint is that the disk is just an hour in length.
Where Live at Theresas is the musical equivalent of Junior Wells performing a raucous and cocksure set in front of his home town, Live in Boston-1966 reflects a musician who just oozes cool while fronting a band of his own design.
From his opening rap on Feelin Good, its clear that Junior Wells with The Aces showcases Junior at his best (though he had the skills to front any band he could assemble). The trios jazz background allowed Wells to stretch and vamp all the musical thoughts that came into his head without seeming out of place.
While the vocals on Man Downstairs may be a little distant in the mix and somewhat distorted, it only reflects the charm of a live recording. This is another song where The Aces truly shine. Man Downstairs may be a derivative of many blues standards; however, with The Aces swinging the groove, there is enough deviation to legitimately consider it an original.
A wonderful aspect of these live Junior Wells recordings is the in-between banter. Every few songs Junior takes some time to banter with the audience and this helps the illusion that this recording was in fact lifted from a one-night live performance.
Though the disk is loaded with highlights, one of the few attributed songs to Junior Wells If You Gonna Leave Me is the best of the best. Dave Myers on bass and Fred Below on drums produce a ridiculously large groove which is complemented by Louis Myers restrained jazz inspired work on the guitar, allowing Wells to vamp and howl over this monstrous groove. This track illustrates why Junior Wells claimed The Aces were the best musicians he had ever played with and why Little Walter subsequently hired the entire band when Junior went to play with Muddy Waters. The trio is just so ridiculously tight, it is hard not to consider them one person when they all play together.
While Junior Wells has many seminal recordings, I cant help but applaud the Delmark label for delving into this back catalog of live historical recordings. Though there is a very high chance the person responsible for the recordings did not realize the gold they had on old acetate. I hope the families of those responsible will receive retroactive bonuses for these fantastic recordings.

About Us
The Good Hike ~ Experience the Beauty of Nature While Giving Back to Those in Need....
The Good Hike is designed to experience the beauty of nature while giving back to those in need.
We are a campaign to hike for hunger relief with all of the proceeds benefitting well established hunger relief non-profits.
1 in 7 Americans struggle with hunger. We want to help these people by donating to nonprofits that believe that everyone should have access to the fundamental necessities of life. This year, we are raising funds to support: Feeding America, a nationwide hunger solution network & Victory Teaching Farm in Mobile, AL.
We are a group of hikers from all walks of life that come together to experience the beauty of nature while helping out where we can in our communities. Our goal is to hike for hunger relief and raise money before and during our hike to donate to a hunger relief organization in our community.
The Good Hike started its first campaign in 2012 with five hikers. We raised money all summer long then hiked The Grand Canyon on Labor Day weekend in an effort to hike for hunger relief. Through fundraising events leading up to our hike and individuals that sponsored us per mile as we hiked, we raised just under $10,000 which provided thousands of meals to those in need through Conscious Alliance.
In May 2014, eight hikers from around the country hiked the expanse of The Grand Canyon to raise money and awareness for hunger relief. In 2014 we chose Conscious Alliance once again as our beneficiary and donated thousands of dollars to their hunger relief mission.
In August 2016, four hikers set out to climb a Colorado 14er as our Hike for Hunger Relief. We had two beneficiaries for this hike: Feeding America and Victory Teaching Farm of Mobile, AL. Our hike to the summit of Mount Evans (which tops off at 14,265 feet in elevation) raised $1000 to support Victory Teaching Farms and provided 8,800 meals through Feeding America.
Thank you to all of you who continue to support us as we hike for hunger relief and help us provide thousands of meals to Americans in need!

The start of a new year is a perfect time to plan something different and exciting, whether you like to make resolutions or not. Perhaps it's the annual goal of losing 10 pounds, learning a new skill or hobby (hello pilates!), or planning how to travel around the world (without going broke!). Now, that's certainly an exciting objective.
If travel around the world has earned a spot on your 2015 to do list, a good starting point is to review where you've already been, and what important things you'll need—such as a good Canadian travel insurance policy—to accompany you on your adventure. This photo essay of some of the best places I've visited over the past few years will help get those "travel around the world" ideas flowing.
Travel around the world, starting with these destinations:
Whistler, British Columbia
As a Vancouver resident, sometimes I forget how lucky we are to live 1.5 hours away from one of the world's premier ski resorts. Whistler really is an incredible skiing, snowsport and summer resort destination, complete with excellent restaurants, spas, hotels and international village life. The adrenaline of skiing and snowboarding comes with some risk; make sure you have proper gear and ski travel insurance.
Mauna Kea, Hawaii
All of the Hawaiian Islands are different from one another, and worthy of an in-depth visit. But experiencing a sunset at 13,000 feet on Mauna Kea on the Big Island is unique, and should be on everyone's travel around the world list.
Petra, Jordan
Jordan is filled with antiquities, history and wonderful, friendly people. The crown jewel of attractions is Petra. This ancient home of the Nabatean civilization will not disappoint around the world travellers.
Trevi Fountain, Rome
Toss a coin behind your head into the Trevi Fountain, and you'll return to the Eternal City. I want to believe this saying, as there is so much to experience in Rome that multiple visits or a month-long stay are barely enough to see everything you might wish to.
Got kids in tow? Here's how to travel Europe with kids.
Capri, Italy
The island of Roman emperors, with a view of blue waters and Mount Vesuvius, has captured imaginations for centuries. The entire Amalfi Coast south of Naples offers similar dramatic scenery, accented with perfume from local lemon groves.
Zermatt, Switzerland
One of the most recognizable natural wonders in the world, Zermatt and its pedestrian-only alpine village are Switzerland to many people. Take the Gornergrat cogwheel train up to 3,100 meters to be more eye-level with the mountains.
Want to explore more of the country? Here are 5 reasons to wet your toes in Switzerland's Yverdo-les-Bains.
London, England
My whirlwind long weekend visit to England's capital was in the midst of a heat wave and far too short to fully taste all of London's charms. I can't wait to return to take in the Tate Modern, the Imperial War Museum and catch a few shows in the famous West End Theatre District.
Harry Potter World, Orlando, Florida
It may be fiction, but Universal Studios has made JK Rowling's dream a reality at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. The rides are fantastic, the butterbeer cold and frothy and muggles (and their wallets) are welcome.
St. Thomas, USVI
Carribbean island time is embodied in picture-perfect St. Thomas. Climb the 700 feet or take the little cable car up to Paradise Point for the beautiful view of the harbour and the little town of Charlotte Amelie. Do enjoy a sip of frosty banana daiquiri in the humid jungle heat of the island.
Rio Perdido, Costa Rica
The breathtaking scenery, animal and plant life, friendly people combined with benevolent governance have made Costa Rica one of the happiest places in the world (according to the Happiness Index). Staying in a private guest house on stilts in the jungle will help you feel the same way.
Here's how to take on Costa Rica with kids! And since this tropical country is famed for its fantastic surfing, make sure to take surfing travel insurance with you.
Around the world travel insurance
A successful travel around the world plan needs some quality around the world travel insurance to go with it. The good news is that no matter how old you may be, you are likely eligible for around the world travel insurance to adequately cover your travel and medical insurance needs.
Essentially, you would have to buy a single-trip medical plan; if you're 59 and under, TuGo's Traveller policy can cover you for up to one year. If you're 60 and over, this policy can cover you for up to 6 months. Note that in both instances, extensions may be available if you are away and need extra days.
One of the eligibility requirements to purchase travel insurance from TuGo is that you need to have, or at least be eligible for, a provincial or territorial government health care plan. Before leaving on your trip, make sure you meet your provincial health authority's eligibility requirements.

Spanish Haul!
First up are some bargain pieces of jewellery I got:
Next is where I'm showing the world I have a problem... A few weeks ago I wrote this post about being a scarf-a-holic. I actually didnt realise how many I had actually bought in Spain until I was showing them to Karen, and bare in mind, these aren't all the scarves I bought. I have another 4 or 5 for presents too!
Some of these I bought for Karen too so please don't judge me ;) My absolute favourite is the bottom right one, navy with white stars. I got it in Pull & Bear for €10 and its a huge scarf, so soft and sooooo comfy. I brought it on the plane to make sure I was extra comfy :) I just LOVE scarves, they can dress up or down an outfit and I know each and every one will get great wear with the colder weather coming upon us.
I did buy a some tops in Sfera in Spain. It's one of my fav clothing shops over in Spain - all the tops are in the wash except this one
I love the colour and the tiny little birds on it. Perfect to pair with jeans and a nice comfy chunky knit cardi - which I have yet to find. Will bought me the necklace I'm wearing and I *love* it.
Thanks for reading!

The Fortified Feline: A Quick Guide to Cat Enrichment
Cats have predatory natures. They need to survey their territory and ambush interlopers, and they thrive when acting upon their innate feline behaviors.
Unfortunately, many indoor-only cats succumb to a sort of humdrum existence that involves little else besides eating, sleeping, and grooming. Improve your pet's quality of life with these ideas for cat enrichment at home.
Our Job
Indoor-outdoor cats may have more opportunities to climb, stalk, pounce, and frolic than indoor-only pets, but allowing cats to roam increases their risk of accidental injury, illness, or death. However, while indoor-only cats may lead longer, safer lives, they may not always have their needs fulfilled.Continue…

It takes a little courage to ask the awful, but obvious questions. And that is exactly what Chirot and McCauley show. They are not revealing any great insight when they say that the world is a dangerous place or that political mass murder and genocide appear to have established themselves on the landscape of human affairs. However, they do broach significant and even hopeful areas of inquiry in their exploration and critique of the logic advanced for mass murder, and importantly what can realistically and practically done about it.
Much of the early parts of the book are depressing and dispiriting reading for it seems undeniable that mass-murderous instincts can be found in almost every society in every epoch, although the Twentieth Century does have a special place in the gruesome annals. The reader is reminded of the notion that what distinguishes humankind is not so much that they are tool-using beings, but the capacity to use those tools to kill each other. However, the authors lead the reader through a clear-sighted analysis and a more balanced appraisal which recognizes that mass murder is still relatively rare and ending and resolving disputes without recourse to violence may indeed be the norm.
Nevertheless, the role of ideology in creating the conditions for mass murder cannot be underestimated. Totalizing extremism that only a radical solution, a final solution if you like, has always been a feature of organized and sanctioned slaughter. Black and white, good and evil, us and them are features of the Manichean thinking that seeks to justify and rationalize the horrendous acts that are so often benignly, reasonably explained. Perhaps Yeats was right when he said that it those full of passionate intensity of whom we really need to be afraid. And, of course, in recent history we have the faces to put to the chilling words. It may be different to see Pol Pot or Slobodan Milosovic or to hear the RTML in Rwanda calling for the extermination of 'cockroaches'.
So, are we condemned to act some atavistic impulse that can never be quite contained, never repressed far from the surface? The authors think not. They believe it is possible to devise strategies to avoid the most terrible consequences of conflict.
They argue that it is important to see that almost any group of people is capable of the best and the worst; they do call it 'good and evil'. They also suggest that mass killing has within it a sort of fractured logic that while not necessarily being acceptable does possess a certain inherent congruence. That is to say, if the precept is accepted, the rest will follow naturally. The problem is in the first proposition. So, it becomes important and essential to try to understand this logic and to counter it.
This may seem like combating unreason with reason but, as history has shown, it is often the most intransient who triumph, at least in the short run. So what to do?
There is a theme of relational ethics that pervades the argument of the book. When it comes down to it, everything is about relationships. If we do not know someone, or a group, we find it much easier to treat them poorly – and in some cases this can mean denying them certain rights and privileges, and other cases it can mean chopping off their limbs with machetes and feeding their genitals to your dogs. If we do not recognize ourselves in the other, we will find it must easier to create an alien identity for them. If we emphasize difference rather than commonality we will see only the few things that separate us rather than the many things that bind us.
The authors do struggle with the implacability of 'evil-doers'. What if they are not amenable to reason, what if they do not confess that they had never thought about their enemies in that way and give thanks all round for having this pointed out? The authors are hopeful, they are optimistic and, it seems, they are moved by genuine moral and ethical concerns for others. There is a Christian ethic, but not an evangelical one. They believe in what they are saying, it is not just a cognitive argument.
In the end Chirot and McCauley answer their own question, "Why not kill them all?" with the simple assertion that we should not because they are like us.

Students at Sparsholt College are enjoying riding in our CFAP Saddle on the college's new mechanical horse, Charisma!
The horse named in honour of Sir Mark Todd's Olympic Gold medal-winning and much-loved competition horse uses state-of-the-art motion control technology and is one of only two in UK universities and colleges. Charisma not only gives students the unique opportunity to further expand their research in the growing field of rider performance but also the opportunity to 'ride' in one of our bespoke saddles.
With the capability to provide feedback on rein contact, balance in the saddle and leg contact Charisma plays a vital role in equine welfare through the improvement of rider skills, an area of particular expertise at UCS. This exciting new capability also features a 3D analysis system for biomechanics research.
A spokesperson for the Sparsholt Equine Centre commenting on our new relationship said "We are very excited to be working with Childeric saddles and having these perfectly balanced saddles specifically fitted to Charisma will enable riders to ride in complete comfort, maximising freedom of movement and further develop their balance in the saddle."
We couldn't agree more!

This experience lasts approximately one hour and adds a very "exclusive" feel to a day at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
The KSC Explore Tour (Approximately 2.5 - 3 hours) offers multiple daily departures. The KSC Explore Tour include photo opportunities of the giant structures that make up the world's largest launch facility. Get an up-close look at the coastal launch pads that unleashed the power to put people on the moon and send space shuttles to the International Space Station.
You will also have the chance to catch a glimpse of the Vehicle Assembly Building where monstrous vehicles were assembled for launch, from the very first Saturn V rocket in the late 1960s to the very last space shuttle, STS-135 Atlantis, among other areas specific to the history of the space program. The tour culminates at the Apollo/Saturn V Center, home of the largest rocket ever built – a 363-foot long moon rocket.
*The Cape Canaveral Early Space Tour only operates Wednesday to Sunday. Also, this tour is only available through the Space Pass if you are planning on visiting Kennedy Space Centre visitor centre over two days. If only visiting for one day, the Explore Tour would be the Special Interest Tour option.

"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?" –Isaiah 40:12
The mission of Calvary Women's Ministries is to arouse and deepen our love for God and His Holy Word, and to unite us into an ever-increasing fellowship. We have many opportunities for women to study the Bible, fellowship with one another, and serve in our congregation. Below is a list of what we are currently doing.
- Friday Morning Bible Study: every Friday 9:30 AM at church (in the Fellowship House).
We have a variety of opportunities throughout the year for women to fellowship with one another such as: monthly Coffee Club, dinner nights, dessert nights, and game nights.
- Annual Ladies Retreat: once a year in the spring. This past year's retreat, "His Unfolding Grace – Making New Life," was April 8-10 at the Calvary Chapel Conference Center in Murrieta Hot Springs, CA.
- Every December, we have Christmas with Friends, where we visit a variety of homes decorated in the spirit of Christmas and conclude the evening with a dinner and auction to raise funds for Women's Ministries.
- Every other year we have a larger event, where we encourage our women to bring friends. The event focuses on a particular Bible verse, provides an opportunity for greater fellowship, and is a fundraiser for Women's Ministries.
Women's Ministries doesn't only keep our women connected, but we are also a backbone to the overall congregation. Women's Ministries perform many "behind the scenes" tasks that help Calvary run, such as:
- Service Ministries: communion preparation, wedding planning, anniversaries recognition, nursery and child care for Sunday service and special events, flowers
- Outreach: hospitality, patio refreshments, meals on wheels, mission projects
Being a part of Women's Ministries allows you to use your God given gifts, enjoy fellowship with sisters in Christ, and feel God's love working at Calvary. If you have any questions about our Women's Ministries, please contact Sharon Walters

Ellovi makes three simple products: a body butter, a plain lip butter, and a tinted lip butter. Each of these products is made from only 6 ingredients! For the body butter: macadamia nut oil, coconut oil, hemp oil, shea butter, marula oil, and non-gmo corn starch. The lip balms contain coconut oil, sunflower oil, hemp oil, macadamia seed oil, marula oil and shea butter. For the tinted lip balm, the hemp oil is omitted in favor of a natural coloring: alkanet root extract. Listing the ingredients of each single product makes it look like a lot, but it's really, really not! Notice how Ellovi doesn't use water in their body butter, eliminating the need for preservatives, and doesn't use wax in the lip balms!
I'll start with the body butter, which was my least favorite of the bunch. I find the use of minimal and natural ingredients awesome and this is the type of product I typically seek out when looking for a body lotion or moisturizer. However, what put me off is a matter of totally personal taste, or should I say smell: I don't like the scent of this. The product is obviously unscented, but the mixture of oils and butters does have a subtle natural scent. I can pick up the hemp and macadamia oil mostly, and although I like hemp seeds and macadamia nuts, I'm not into this smell. It's not that I'm indifferent to it; I actually find it bad. It's not nutty. It's faintly sweet, and I'm sure some people really enjoy it. Just not me. The product itself is buttery and makes skin smooth and soft, but I would not purchase a full-size jar simply because of this highly subjective reason.
Onto the lip butters, which I liked! The mix of these ingredients really makes for a super-smooth lip balm that's actually a balm and not an oil. I love their texture. It's thick enough to smooth your lips but not so thick that it sits on top of them in a layer. The clear lip balm does have a very similar smell to the body butter, but I don't notice it as much. The tinted lip balm however uses "the red root of a Mediterranean flower called alkanet" for its pigment. It doesn't smell great either — and to be honest it smells even worse than the body butter — but again, putting on lip balm is a quick enough process that it doesn't bother me as much. I think it's great that Ellovi uses a natural pigment in this lip butter, and the result is really nice: very subtle yet lasting "my lips but better" color. Again, if you're looking for a tinted lip balm with color that shows and/or are sensitive to smells, you might want to pass on this one as it's very subtle and smells like death.

The Town of Weaverville started as a community of farmers long before it was officially named "Weaverville." Historical records document road construction in the area as early as 1803. The earliest records also show an iron works located where Lake Louise sits today.
John Weaver, the community's namesake, was one of the first settlers in the region. Families followed Weaver's example and steadily settled in the area over the next 70 years, leading to the construction of several churches and schools.
Weaver College was established as an outgrowth of the area's Masonic and Temperance School in the early 1870's.
In 1875, the Town of Weaverville was officially incorporated by the North Carolina General Assembly.
As an historical side note, Weaverville was incorporated twice. Dissolved from 1904 until 1909, the dissolved Town of Weaverville forced the hand of the State of North Carolina, pushing the state to make repairs to Main Street. The Town of Weaverville, again, became incorporated in 1909, after the repairs were complete.
Modern improvements were made under the leadership of Weaverville Mayor John V. Erskine around the turn of the century. Electricity came to Weaverville in 1908, and a phone system was put into place in 1911. Weaverville's first water system was built in 1912.
The Town of Weaverville has enjoyed steady growth throughout the past century with a current population of more than 4,000 residents.
Today, Weaverville is a major influence on the economic success of the northern Asheville region, boasting a number of high-tech industries, as well as quaint shops and restaurants; making the area a popular draw among tourists.

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Five – DSM V released 2013. http://www.dsm5.org/Pages/Default.aspx This is THE checklist for mental disorders, used throughout western "medicine". They have recently decided that the childs test for ADHD is okay for adults, but in kids you need a score of six or more. In adults you only need five or more. (http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/ADHD%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf)
The main guy Jerry Springer… No, hang on. Not Jerry Springer….
The main guy Robert_Spitzer had a outpatient mum so he, like all fucked over kids, became a psych expert. He got all his paperwork in order, lobbied for homosexuality to be removed from the DSM2 as a mental disorder and subsequently applied for and got the job to do version 3 in the late 70's. (No one else wanted the job by the way)
They basically accepted everything and categorized it.
More recently they have denied "Internet Addiction" (good article about it to be found here ) which just seems absolutely fucken nuts. Someone should run some tests on the bastards who edit this thing. Of course internet addiction is a bloody mental problem you half wits. Look at this blog as a classic example.
Here is a stolen excerpt from Jon Ronsons book, PSYCHOPATH TEST…
"Were there any proposals for mental disorders you rejected?" I asked Spitzer.
He thought for a moment.
"Yes", he finally said. "I do remember one. Atypical Child Syndrome."
There was a short silence.
"Atypical Child Syndrome?" I said.
"The problem was when we tried to characterise it. I asked, what are the symptoms? The man proposing it replied 'that is hard to say as the children are very atypical…….
"We were going to include Masochistic Personality Disorder, but there were a bunch of feminists who were violently opposed…"
"They thought we were labelling the victim."
"What happened to it?"
"We changed the name to Self-Defeating Personality Disorder and put it in…"
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahah. Good effort to categorise everything under the sun and take the guesswork out of the mental labelling system. But then it is so easy to fail. And fail badly.
NZFIEND says that external events, pressures or positive influences should be included in these scales. Instance – recent events could ruin all these tests. (death in family, extreme hate or simply turning up to the test fully expecting to be fucked up the arse and walking out showing no emotion as you prepared earlier….)
Sam McBride, psych at A&D services in Wellington was "impressed by NZFiend's capacity to tolerate this obviously frustrating news" (denial of detox help). Yeah mate, you fuckwit. I fully expected to be shafted by the system, as I have so many times before. I walked out shafted. Surprise surprise. Am I going to smash windows over this? Maybe I should have. Maybe that was the test that I didn't understand.
Some of the tests are silly. Like – DOES HE LIE? 0-1-2
Yes, 2.
There is no anti lie question. DOES HE TELL THE TRUTH? 0-1-2
This is a bad example. But relevant enough to get me thinking. Yes, he tells the truth. 2. The two cancel each other out somewhat. With weightings and percentages, let us call it a 1.
My god, they actually did a study into how long people stay in hospital with spine operations and opiate dependence (me). I was gone within 48 hours. Which was f'ing stupid, I admit. Pig headed. Nuts even. Pity they didn't have me as part of their test, but I would have been removed as being the 2.5 percentile idiot.
Basically, it comes down to this – They were trying to work out if giving people more pain meds would get them out the hospital faster (economic reasons… customer care is way off these guys agenda…) and found that opiate addicts did not leave quicker if you gave them more drugs.
GO FIGURE. Idiots. I did. I left. But I worked out how to shoot up the oxycodone pretty quickly.
Prevalence of opioid dependence in spine surgery patients and correlation with length of stay.
Medical Center of Central Georgia, Macon, USA.
We addressed the prevalence of opioid dependence (OD) in spine surgery patients and its correlation with length of stay (LOS) as the most important determinant of hospital cost.
The study took place at Georgia Neurosurgical Institute and the Medical Center of Central Georgia between March 2006 and January 2007. A prospective convenience sample of 150 spine surgery patients (48 lumbar diskectomy, 60 cervical decompression and fusion, and 42 lumbar decompression and fusion [LDF]) was assembled. Patients were interviewed before surgery using a questionnaire designed in accordance with the World Health Organization and DSM-IV-TR criteria for the diagnosis of OD. The prevalence of OD was calculated based on questionnaire results. Pain intensity was quantified during admission using a 0-to-10 pain scale. We used pain intensity multiplied by duration of pain in months (WR index) as a new parameter. Lengths of stay were collected following patients' discharge from hospital. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were performed using SPSS software.
Thirty (20.00 percent) patients were opioid dependent. The prevalence was highest among LDF patients (23.81 percent), females (22.78 percent), and, to a lesser degree, Caucasians (20.87 percent). There was no correlation between OD and age (r = 0.08, p > 0.1) or between OD and LOS (r = 0.09, p > 0.1). This study proved a very significant positive correlation between OD and pain intensity (r = 0.24, p < 0.01) and between OD and the WR index (r = 0.30, p < 0.01). On the other hand, there was a significant positive correlation between LOS and age (r = 0.42, p < 0.01), between LOS and the number of previous spine surgeries (r = 0.28, p < 0.01), and between LOS and duration of pain (r = 0.18, p < 0.05). Regression analysis showed that age, ethnicity, and type of surgery were the main determinants of LOS.
Chronic pain and prolonged use of opioids raise the prevalence of OD in spine surgery patients to 20 percent. The lack of effect of OD on LOS after surgical intervention means that efforts to decrease LOS by trying to satisfy patients' craving for opioids will not be fruitful

[Editor's note: Following is a guest blog post by Jeff Doubek]
Another unsatisfying day is turning into an unproductive week. Aren't you tired of being in this rut?
Sure you are. But finding a fix can prove difficult in the middle of a busy week. Let me show you a few ways to dig yourself out of the rut.
Here are three symptoms of a bad week and three tips for turning it around:
You had a poor plan or no plan – You choose to go through your day without a plan, instead jumping from one pop-up task to another "Whack-a-Mole" style.
- The Fix: Spend 15 minutes each Sunday and spend 5 minutes each morning with your day planner, preparing a task list and schedule that cover your important activities.
You had unrealistic expectations – The to-do list in your planner is too darn big, an "everything but the kitchen sink" list and you fell short because a) there wasn't enough time, or b) the timing was wrong.
- The Fix: Estimate the time of each task you want to accomplish and compare it to the time slots you see available in your day planner. What doesn't fit must be delegated or pushed to another day. A successful to-do list gets completely checked off. Strive for this victory each day.
You got distracted: Whether it's a sudden help request from a co-worker or Facebook, all distractions lead you away from what truly needs to get done.
- The Fix: Say "no" to requests, delegate tasks you don't have time to complete, and stay disciplined to follow your daily priorities. Your plan is a personal commitment, so don't let yourself down.
A final word of advice: You expect slow traffic on snowy days, right? So make sure you plan your day for the delays, tangents and detours life throws at you. Leave time each day for the unexpected and a little extra time for yourself. Give yourself a little breathing room each day.
