Woman's Doc: Treating sprained ankles
Docs give tips to follow if injury happens
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates that 25,000 people sprain their ankles every day, so there are always some good facts and advice to put out about the common injury.
A few months ago when Ulka Zaleski was walking down some stairs, she missed the last step and twisted her ankle.
"It twisted, I guess inward, and I just collapsed on the floor. At first I thought I might have broken it because I couldn't bear any weight on it," she told 11 News.
Mercy Medical Center's Dr. Rebecca Cerrato said Zakeski sprained her ankle.
"A sprain just means an injury to a ligament. Ankle sprains -- almost 90 percent of them are when you roll your foot in," she explained. "It's an inversion injury, and therefore you injure the lateral ligaments as opposed to an eversion injury, which is very rare, and you injure your medial ligaments."
Cerrato said those who do sprain their ankles should remember the acronym RICE when treating it:
- R is for rest -- get off your foot immediately and rest it.
- I is for ice -- apply ice to the injured area for 20 minutes on and off for one to two days.
- C is for compression -- wrap the ankle with a bandage to help reduce swelling.
- E is for elevation -- elevate the leg above the heart.
"You need to have it elevated above the level of the heart to be able to maximize and minimize how much swelling that's going to happen," Cerrato said.
If you do sprain your ankle, she said to get it checked out in a reasonable amount of time.
"The good rule of thumb is, within the first day or two, if it's still extremely painful to the point where it's difficult to walk, have somebody check it out," Cerrato said.

Brian McCarthy, the accused operator of Channelsurfing.net—a site that linked to unauthorized streams of sporting events—has signed a deal with the Department of Justice. This will effectively grant him amnesty, according to court documents filed earlier this month published Tuesday by TorrentFreak.
As Ars reported in 2011, McCarthy had his domain name seized in February. By March, the Feds had tracked him down and arrested him. By October 2011, he was charged with criminal copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement.
"Brian McCarthy allegedly sought to profit by intercepting and then streaming live sporting events, hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet to make a quick buck through what is little more than high-tech thievery," Preet Bhara, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement in March 2011. "This arrest sends a clear message that this office, working with its partners at HSI, will vigorously protect valuable intellectual property rights through arrests and domain name seizures."
Federal prosecutors said McCarthy could face up to five years in prison. However, under the new agreement, authorities say it is now in the "interest of the United States" to defer prosecution, meaning McCarthy will avoid jail time if he behaves.
It remains unclear why prosecutors have changed their tactics. Ars contacted Bhara and McCarthy's public defender in New York, but did not receive an immediate response from either individual. "Prosecution will be deferred during the term of your good behavior and satisfactory compliance with the terms of this agreement," states the document from the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
According to the document, McCarthy is ordered—over the next six months—to not engage in illegal activity, to not interact "with any persons engaged in criminal activity," and to "not engage in the dissemination of any copyrighted sports-related media over the Internet." McCarthy must also "continue mental health therapy" under the agreement.
TorrentFreak added that McCarthy will be required to pay back the $351,033.54 he made off the site.
The Texan seems to have received a deal similar to what Richard O'Dwyer, a Briton, got in November 2012. As we reported late last year, O'Dwyer—who ran the streaming site TVShack.net—will come to the US and pay a fine, but not face jail time.

When kids run away from each other, they may trip, fall, and hurt themselves. A New York school banned kids from using balls during recess, but not during sports events, because "unstructured play with hardballs" is dangerous, school leaders said.

Astronauts exploring the depths
Usually, ESA sends astronauts to outer space, but last week six astronauts from around the world spent six days underground to get a taste of working together in extreme conditions.
ESA's caves training in Sardinia, Italy ended with a debriefing, with the astronauts claiming, "This is some of the best, arguably the best, spaceflight 'analogue' training we have received."
Veteran and rookie astronauts worked together and learned from each other on how to conduct science and survive in isolation while living disconnected from Earth's normal day and night cycle – just like on the International Space Station.
CAVES is not a simulation but a real expedition and the only expedition training on offer to involve astronauts from all Space Station partners.
This year ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli, Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Russian cosmonaut Aleksei Ovchinin, Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa and NASA astronauts Mike Barratt and Jack Fischer explored and mapped more of the underground world than ever before thanks to the prototype CaveSniper surveying tool.
Exploring and mapping a cave is time-consuming and often involves three people: one wields the instruments, one takes notes and one scouts for the next survey location and holds the target for measurements.
CaveSniper combines all these measurements wirelessly and uploads them to a computer for a complete 3D map of the cave, allowing the 'cavenauts' to survey almost 1.5 km of galleries this year.
Last year, the cavenauts emerged from the dark with a particularly interesting discovery: a new species of crustacean that had adapted to cave life. It seems that this year's explorers are not to be outdone: they returned with 11 biological samples and experts onsite think one of the creepy-crawlies is likely to be a discovery.
A study on carbon dioxide levels run by the cavenauts is showing interesting results as well, with unexpected low levels near some of the lakes. Could the chemistry of the surroundings be causing the drop or is the wind in the caves influencing the readings?
The cavenauts have done their job and it is now over to the scientists to analyse the data and publish their results. The astronauts exclaimed in the debriefing: "We are excited to see the results and are happy to have had the opportunity to help push the bounds of scientific discovery."

Lesson FAIL: For Mommies only
But since their sister has come along, they have been introduced to a whole new world: pink, hair bows, accessories, and dolls.
Every once in a while, they will get on a kick where they play a game that I used to call "house" when I was a kid. A few beautiful mornings ago, they went outside and did just that. They played very contently for quite some time.
All of a sudden, from my open kitchen window, I heard the beginning of a conversation that piqued my interest. I grabbed my camera, sure that something good was about to go down, and watched from the screened sliding glass door.
Ethan: "Cameron, baby is getting hungry!"
Cameron: "Well, you better feed her!"
Now, in all fairness, my boys NEVER saw Lola take a bottle. She simply refused. When it was time for Lola to eat, they watched her nurse. I was always very discreet, and they never saw anything
I'm thinking I didn't stress the "Mommies" part enough. Oops.

Baseball season is here!
It's baseball season again....so, we've been spending much of our time at the ballpark lately!
Colin played only one year of T-Ball, and this year went straight to baseball. What a difference! The players are bigger, the pitching machine is f-a-s-t, and the game is much more intense. We've been having a great time together as a family, watching him play.
This past weekend, the boys were in a tournament. They lost a hard-fought first game (to the eventual first placed team), but then went on to win their second game on Saturday. Sunday, we won our first two games--which meant a third game to determine the third and fourth place teams!
The boys did well, but the game went into extra innings (shew!) and they were simply becoming exhausted. We lost a player to injury and ended up losing the game by one run, ending in fourth place.
We are so proud of their accomplishments, attitudes, and effort this weekend!
Way to go Cubs--it's going to be a great season!

10 stress strategies every mom needs--part two
I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Hearts at Home national conference this year. This was by far my favorite workshop, given by Jill Savage herself. Over a small series of posts, I'm going to share the tips that impacted me the most. You can catch part one here. I mean, I didn't need these or anything--I'm just sharing in case any of you have those kind of days. M'kay?
3. Learn to say NO.
This is a concept I really, really struggle with. But I am learning that not being able to say NO to things leads to a Mommy who is spread much too thin--and that is good for no one.
Several weeks ago, we had a crazier-than-usual week: ball practice on Monday and Tuesday, church Wednesday, a church to clean on Thursday night (we have recently taken over our church's janitorial duties), a church activity on Saturday (which I attended with the children by myself because Shane was out of town working the entire weekend), church itself on Sunday morning and Sunday night. (It really sounds like I am singling out church activities, but I promise--I mean all activities across the board!)
It was a lot of activity.
That same week, Colin had been invited to a Sunday afternoon birthday skating party. It was important to him, and I said YES to letting him go.
One of Jill's main points about learning to say NO was to "carefully consider the brain space {and the physical stamina!} that this YES will require." We should "step away from the peer pressure, evaluate, and then answer."
I failed to do that. Big time.
In reality, agreeing to simply 'let Colin go to a party' was actually agreeing to
1. load up everyone by myself
2. head to the skating rink straight after church
3. stay there from 1-4 p.m. and attempt to help three very unsteady boys skate while corralling their just-walking sister
4. fly home to grab some food for the kids and myself, and then fly back to church by 5 p.m. for choir practice and our evening service
all while already physically and emotionally drained by the events of the week, and all while being by. my. self.
I bet it would come as no surprise that I collapsed in a heap of tears that Sunday evening. I was stressed out and exhausted. Correction--I had allowed myself to become stressed out and exhausted.
And, I vowed right then to never say YES again on the spot. To never say YES because of peer pressure. To never say YES simply for fear of disappointing someone.
Jill said: "When you say NO, don't think you have to give a long list of excuses."
But don't we all do that?
"I can't .... I have to .... and we are going to be .... and I've got to do ..... fill in the blank."
We give excuses because we fear what people will think of us when we say NO. I think a great answer, when you need to say NO, is to simply and kindly state the facts: "Thank you for thinking of me, but I can't at this time."
We have to remember that saying NO allows others an opportunity to say YES! There are people everywhere who are doing things--serving in schools and churches and many other places--because there was someone before them who couldn't, and they stepped up to the plate.
Jill pointed out something I'd never thought of before: that we may be 'capable', but we may not be 'called'.
I know that that is exactly my problem. I see a need somewhere; I know that I could do a pretty good job of filling that need; and then I jump in without weighing the ramifications on myself and my family. But just because I can do something doesn't mean I should.
Isn't it better to do a few things really well than to do too many things poorly, simply because you are spread too thin from trying to do too much?
Learn to say "NO". How are you at this? What tips can you give on how you handle saying "NO" in your life?

The reason this day is so special
Colin Matthew
Born October 31, 2003
Friday, May 6, 2011
I have a new friend. Her name is Wendy, and seriously...you should run, not walk, over to her blog. If you, like myself, feel like a "Totally Desperate Mom" sometimes....you will love this girl. She is the real thing, and she pulls no punches when she writes. Also--it does not hurt that she knows Paul Walker.
She inspired the idea behind this post--I hope you'll enjoy it, but really, it was only meant to be truly meaningful to one person in my life.
{I love you Mom/Momma/Mommy/MJ/Grandma Jane/and the lady "who is my mother not my sister", thankyouverymuch.)
1. What is your best childhood memory with your mom?
There are so many that this one is truly difficult to answer--but I remember loving the times when my mom would pick me up at the airport.
When I was two years old, my mom and dad divorced. My dad remarried when I was almost four (a wonderful lady who has been the greatest stepmom I could have asked for, truly.) From the time I was almost 6, I began flying out to New Jersey to visit my dad and Amy. I remember loving being out there with them--the people talked funny, there were cool stores and an ocean there, and I got to see family that I didn't see but a month or two out of the whole year--but there was nothing like that feeling of flying home, stepping off the plane, and seeing my mom waiting for me. I remember her being prettier than I remember every time!
2. Did you ever make your mom cry because you were so unruly or disobedient?
Though I can't remember a lot of times when my mom would sit and cry because I was being so bad (I'm sure she probably did it a lot in private, LOL), I do specifically remember that, when things got really tense (mostly in my teenage angst-filled years), I would say things along the lines of "I want to go and live with my Dad." That, looking back, was really hurtful to her, I know...I regret it and I'm terribly ashamed of it. *boo*
Sorry for that, Mom. You didn't deserve to be treated that way.
However, on the flip side--I do remember her telling me (when I was being especially disobedient) that she was going to call my father, and he would "shake a knot in your tail!" Now, I had no idea what it meant to have a knot shaken in my tail--but it sounded painful, and I knew I'd better cool it when it reached that point. (Luckily, I never had to find out.....)
3. Do you remember any of the special things your mom did for you?
This is going to sound like a really silly answer--because my mom did so many special things that it would take a novel to fill them all and I am picking this one--but, I remember as a little girl my mom would take me shopping with her to K-Mart, our big store in town at the time.
Now, K-Mart had an Icee machine. My mom, who had very little money to go around, would always stop first thing and allow me to get a small cherry Icee. I remember the special rounded lid they put on so the cup could fill up more, how the machine squirted funny when they would pull the lever do get the drink out, and how I used to sip really slowly (to hopefully make it last longer....)
Those crazy red Icee's made a very big impact on this little girl. I believe, truthfully, the reason it did had to do with a form of sacrifice. It may have only been a dollar, but I knew we didn't have a lot--and for her to get me that Icee, spending some of what little money she had on something that was not a necessity--impacted me as to how unselfish she was. Even from the time I was 5 or 6 years old, I got that.
4. Did she teach you anything really significant?
Selflessness. If there is a person in the world who is less selfless when it comes to her children and grandbabies, I think it would be an outstanding feat to find her. We still joke that she didn't do a very good job teaching me--that I am, to this day, way more selfish than she is--but she couldn't have modeled it any better.
Happy Mother's Day from your not-always-showing-it-but-always-in-my-heart-beyond-grateful daughter,

Hi gents,
The first scenarios pack for EAW is now released, alongside the new patch! We hope that you'll take a look at the description page (at the very least!) and if you feel interested, make the dive:
There are 1 campaign, the 1916 one, and 4 scenarios. The scenarios are really diverse in their approach and will definitively bridge a complexity gap if you are too daunted playing a campaign of EAW. Be warned, the 1916 campaign is quite a monster, but definitively manageable with some dedication. Also, the new patch has several very interesting changes, to name a few: Improved retreat logic, artillery can counter fire in battles, smart sorting of units and stacks in the forces list, dozens of events fixes and also additions (yeah!), faster turns.
The expansion is now available at AGEOD here:
You get can a redeem key for Steam also.
And now, a few extra screenshots:

It's Midsummer Eve in Sweden and I finally got some time to reflect on the fantastic weekend I had in Geneva together with other members of the Mozilla community. I was there to lead a discussion about SUMO and community support, with a focus on sharing experiences between the five local communities represented: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
The discussion started with Mozilla Italia sharing their experiences with community support, where they explained why they recently decided to switch entirely to SUMO. It was really insightful to hear their main reasons for using SUMO today. Among other things, they said that:
- Outdated content is worse than lack of content
- If your documentation isn't easy to find or badly structured, there's no point in having it
- Good documentation requires consistency, quality, and precision
This is absolutely true and we are constantly working on those three points on SUMO, so I was glad to see that these values were shared with Mozilla Italia. I was very impressed that they took the time and energy to share these experiences with the other communities, who are all handling community support in different ways.
After the presentation, the floor was open for questions and discussions, after which Simone, Francesco and Giuliano passed on the torch to me to hold a discussion/presentation combo about SUMO in general. Among other things, I showed the many new features in SUMO — both implemented and still in the works. In total, the SUMO discussions went on for over an hour, and many interesting ideas came out of it.
For example, we were discussing the best way to indicate in the search results that some of the content is only available in English. Should these English results be mixed together with the localized content, or should it be separated? Should we add labels specifying the language of the article? Should the behavior differ depending on locale? For example, in Germany, mixing English and German content isn't as common as mixing Swedish and English content is in Sweden. Kadir pointed out that in Germany, the existence of English content on a German website can even lead to mistrust of the quality of the website.
After almost nine hours of discussions and presentations, it was time for us to explore Geneva and have dinner. I have to say that I fell in love with Geneva. It wasn't just the nice weather or the beautiful buildings — there was something with the atmosphere that made walking around in the old town at night taking photos together with fellow Mozillians really, really enjoyable. I think everyone felt extra proud of being part of the Mozilla community that night.
In retrospect, I think that this inter-community meetup was one of the most successful Mozilla events I've attended to so far. The focus was on exchanging experiences and discussing, rather than passively watching other people's presentations. It really worked very well to have a smaller group of people, as that made discussing various topics much easier. Also, William's "no laptop rule" helped everyone stay focused on the purpose of the day rather than escaping into the wonderful world of bug filing, blogging, tweeting, and coding. 🙂
A huge thanks has to go to William for ensuring that the day was a true success. Big thumbs up from me, William! I would also like to thank Simone Lando, Giuliano Masseroni, and Francesco Lodolo from Mozilla Italia, for so openly sharing their experiences, pros, and cons about SUMO. It was incredibly helpful!

Generally, satellite shoppers are entitled with three options in United States satellite TV entertainment: TVRO satellite system, DBS satellite system, and the new comers PC satellite system.
DBS system
DBS is the acronym of Direct Broadcast Satellite. Low cost installation, maintenance-free, stable receptions, all these features make DBS system a enhanced commercial product when compare to the TVRO system. Satellite TV via DBS system is done in the Ku-Band. These satellites work on higher frequencies and can transmit higher power signals. This is why smaller dishes can be used to receive satellite signal for DBS systems.
Currently, DBS system is the most popular way for satellite TV entertainment. Dish Network and DirecTV are broadcast using DBS system. To view satellite TV programs using DBS system, all you need is a satellite signal decoder, a small satellite dish (18″), and of course, a TV. If you subscribe the service to Dish Network or DirecTV, you are also required to put on the subscription cards or the 'Key' to view the TV shows legally.
Yes, subscription card is necessary. It is no secret that there are ugly trend in DBS satellite TV where tech guys hack their existing programming-card; or some get their smart card through Internet. By stealing the satellite signals from Dish Network or DirecTV, users can avoid paying any subscription fees. Anyhow, hacking satellite TV descrambles is against the rules and you put yourself in the risk of legal actions. Consumers should beware and avoid falling on to such traps when there are vendors offering such kind of services.
TVRO system
TVRO, or in detail, Television Receive Only is the first satellite system available for home satellite viewing system. Often known as the Big Dish, or the Ugly Dish, TVRO system uses C-Band (in contrast to Ku-band for DBS system) for the signal transmission.
By using a movable big dish, TVRO systems are able to receive common TV programs as well as independent feeds from all over the world. As news broadcasting crews normally transmit their first hand broadcast materials via C Band (same as TVRO system), you could for instance receive the unedited material if your dish lay within the coverage area.
Satellite PC system
The extent of satellite TV entertainment was once again expanded with the introduction of satellite PC system in recent days. Satellite PC system means a piece of computer software that enables you to watch satellite TV programs on your PC monitors. There are various type of software available in the market but most will allow you to watch up to thousands satellite TV program from worldwide.
Some says satellite PC system is revolutionary; some says it's full of fraud and crap; for us, we says it's a little of both. A very important point to be noted is that satellite PC is not something similar like traditional satellite TV program as the channel list in satellite PC is quite different from the traditional one. Do not get disappointed when you notice your satellite PC covers hundreds of Asia/Arab channels but your favorite HBO is no where to be found. Further more, as satellite PC system is relative new in the market; there are lots of unanswered questions in term of the reliability of the software vendor. Do we get customer service on after sales? Is the satellite TV PC picture quality acceptable? Is everything with satellite TV PC legal (outside of US, since its taking worldwide TV programs)?
Now, on the positive side, just imagine being able to turn on the computer and within minutes, be viewing education, movie, shopping, sports, news, and weather channels. With satellite television to personal computer, you can. In fact, many people love the radio capabilities, coming right out of the computer. Just as with television, the computer satellite can provide crisp pictures and excellent audio.
The advantages of satellite television to personal computer are many. For instance, while the kids are watching a Disney channel, you could be watching your favorite movie or sporting event in the privacy of any room you want. Keep in mind that sometimes, cable television will not broadcast a particular game or movie but with satellite television, you will never miss your favorite channels again.
Setting up the different kind of satellite system
For TVRO system, you need to spend a big pile of greens for the equipments and the installation fees. Further on that, you will need to find out what programming is on and when to receive your familiar satellite TV show. To receive different TV program, you might need to move or adjust your big dish – definitely not an easy job for mom and pop users.
Setup and installation are much easier with DBS system. If you stay in United States, most probably you will subscribe to either Dish Network or DirecTV; they provide you the free standard system as well as install the system for you for free and you are ready to go. Cost effective, no maintenance, no moving big dishes, and no more further adjustment.
Setting up satellite PC requires basic computer knowledge. This includes installing the software as well as basic software usage knowledge (screen resolutions, picture size) to fit your needs. Satellite PC is cheap when compare to DBS and TVRO as it requires only one time setup fees (Around $100) and no equipments to be purchased (provided you own a PC).
The existent of satellite TV change how people view TV entertainments. While standard television was okay and cable TV is good, DBS satellite TV and satellite PC are considered ground-breaking. Keep in mind that with any advance technology, there are plus and negative points, if you ever wish to make any purchase, we recommend you to choose wisely and pick only the satellite system that fits your personal needs. Jumping into a deal blindly just does not suit our motto as a smart consumer.

There's a certain inescapable madness to black eyeliner and pearls.
If I haven't already made it clear - my Vincent and the Doctor post certainly hinted at it - I have a problem. No, not a problem - not an issue, not a peculiarity, not a even just a diagnosis; not the eccentricity of tonics and potions at bedtime, of regulated eating patterns, of social avoidance; not a thing which makes me brilliant or a thing which makes me laugh wildly like the edge of a broken mirror.
I have a mental illness.
I am mentally ill.
You might wonder how the hell I think it's a good idea to put this out on the Internet, especially following my previous post, in which I described how a life lived publicly is a life judged. You might wonder if some future employer will stumble across this blog, or if some grandma or great-aunt somewhere will wish I had kept my mouth shut, or even if I, tomorrow morning, will delete this post. All of those worst case scenarios could come true.
But I think it's time to speak honestly about mental illness - don't you?
I'm a real person. Some of you know me only through this blog, though most others I think are friends and family members. And being a real person, disregarding any online persona, I have to face the every day life of being a young woman with a chemical imbalance which makes me cry like Van Gogh and smile like the Mona Lisa. It makes me play the piano with the wet cough of Chopin; it makes me immobile, sometimes, with perfectionism and fear. These are my mornings and evenings, my afternoon teas, the way I fall asleep and the way I wake up at 7:23 craving a cup of coffee.
And I'm not alone.
Bipolar disorder is the most commonly misdiagnosed. I first entered therapy with a diagnosis of depression - a diagnosis far too common for young people who present as depressed but who have magical periods of wellness and happiness and achievement, mania. I was lucky - two bad semesters at university and I was able to meet with a wonderful psychiatrist, who took one look at the shaky, too thin, glittering me and said, "Yeah, you have bipolar disorder." But let me make it clear that I was nineteen at that time - almost six years after my doctor started to tell me about depression. Six years of anorexia, of bingeing, of not knowing what the hell was wrong with me. Of theatrical debuts in which I skipped pills so I could feel something, anything. Of self medication, so easily dismissed as a part of the teenage experience.
It took six years. And I was lucky.
I recently was admitted to and then exited a group therapy program. It was a wonderful experience for me, because I was able to meet and speak freely with others who had mental illnesses. The age range was wide, and the economic backgrounds varied, and race and religion and other particulars completely unimportant. These were brave, strong, admirable men and women, and I was there amongst them, myself, not lying. When we talked about how to discuss our mental illnesses with others, most said, "I'm not ashamed."
I was the voice of shame in the group. I, who had been diagnosed at a fairly early age and had been living a "normal" life for six years. I, who had never taken the final step of admitting to myself that I needed and deserved care.
I, who was still so angry.
Maybe if we could stop words from having so much power - maybe if we could put an end to labels and definitions and judgements - maybe then I would have felt that being bipolar was something that I could talk to people about. Here I am, now, discussing it openly, and whatever the consequences may be, at least I can say that I am honest with myself.
I remember being at work, and a coworker described a friend as being bipolar, a pejorative term for unreliable and unappealing. I remember going home, restless, and crying in the bathtub.
And I'm not alone.
How much longer do we have to live in a society when mental healthcare is only relevant in response to horrible crimes, mass shootings, murders? How much longer will I have to hear people use my diagnosis as an insult, when the reality is that you might as well be saying, that Alice, she's so blue-eyed? When will my genes stop being a topic of joking and insulting conversation?
When will we address the real healthcare issues in this country, when we know that as mental health facilities have closed, prison populations have increased? When will we accept that it isn't mental illness which makes people truly ill, but a lack of care, and a lack of love?
When will people see the world as I see it as valuable? All through history, in your art textbooks, in the annals of the American presidency, in your sheet music, in your literature class - in those places we are willing to accept the vague idea that people with mental illnesses can affect great change. But here I am, and here are so many others, in that place between your world and the fairy world, in that place of wine bottles and bitter laughter, in that place of medications and therapy, in the moments of makeup and glitter and pearls, in those moments when you can barely breathe with some thickness in your belly between the end of the world and birth -
Here I am, living.
My name is Alice, and I'm a writer. I'm twenty-six. I have four parents, three grandparents, a sister, and a husband. I spend most of my time cleaning, writing genre fiction, and baking cakes without key ingredients. When I do my makeup I use glitter; when I wear jewelry, I wear pearls.
I have bipolar disorder.
I'm not ashamed.

Thank you. I am forwarding this to someone who has recently been diagnosed with anxiety and depression with a possibility of bipolar. She is brilliantly creative and gifted but without the self-confidence to express herself with ease. You do great service with your words and your courage.ReplyDelete
That was one of the best blog posts I've read. I admire your courage and your candor. Thank you for sharing.
Beautifully articulated post. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Thanks for writing this. I've had bipolar disorder since my late teens and I'm now 27. It's been a bumpy road of emotions, pills, therapy, etc. More people need to be educated about mental health; it doesn't mean we're crazy. Thanks for your bravery.ReplyDelete

5 quick PR tricks to cover up a lack of real health care news
As all researchers know, science is a grinding parade of failure and dead ends. But as we've often written, news release writers sometimes seem hell-bent on making the public believe otherwise. Like expert makeup artists, they can add sparkle to lackluster findings, mask blemishes in study designs, and smooth over unimpressive data. One thing I… Read More »

After being cleared to practice on Tuesday, Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees already has his eyes set on staying in the starting line-up as the Irish prepare for a road game at Air Force.
"Absolutely," Rees said Wednesday, when asked if he was going to start this weekend.
Rees left Notre Dame's win against USC with a neck strain, but appeared to be in good shape as The Chicago Tribune's Brian Hamilton reported Wednesday.
"Going out there and practicing, it was good to be back out there with the guys," Rees said, according to Hamilton. "I feel good right now and I'm going to continue to feel better throughout he week."
Rees has been serviceable for Notre Dame this season despite some concerns about his consistency heading in to the season following the loss of Everett Golson. Rees has had his highs and lows, the story of his career at Notre Dame. He has completed 53 percent of his passes for 1,660 yards and 15 touchdowns and has been intercepted six times through seven games, which averages out to two touchdowns and an interception per game. Rees is going to lead the offense to some scores, but he is almost always due for a turnover. But those are just averages and some fun with numbers. In reality, Rees has had more good games than bad, but the bad games have gotten ugly at times.
Notre Dame has made it work for the most part this season. Rees has struggled against Notre Dame's top two opponents this season, combing for five of his interceptions in two games against Michigan and Oklahoma.
Rees completed 14 of 21 pass attempts for 166 yards and two touchdowns without throwing a pick in Notre Dame's 14-10 victory over USC last Saturday in South Bend, Indiana.

Obama and the Liberals Meet - The 40 year Factor by Rev Michael Bresciani, September 11, 2012
The best Biblical teachers in the world have been forecasting big trouble for America over the last 40 years. While largely ignored the "great pay-day someday," a phrase coined by the late Rev R. G. Lee (1886 – 1974) has finally arrived in our time.
The 40 year factor is based in the Bible's repeated use of the number forty, used over 146 times, as the "time of ample proof." Whether associated with days or years the bible uniformly engages this number to show that a thing has been completely tested. It is a period that signifies a chastisement, trial or probation that always ends with a judgment, usually summary in nature.
Examples are too numerous to list here, but some of the most famous uses of the number 40 are as follows.
· For forty days and nights Jesus was fasting in the desert which ended in the great temptation by the devil. (Mt 4: 2)
· Jesus was seen of his disciples and as many as 500 people at one time after his resurrection for a period of 40 days. (Ac 1: 2)
· It took forty days for Moses to receive the law on the mount. (Ex 24: 18)
· The tribes of Israel roamed in the wilderness 40 years before taking possession of the Promised Land. (De 8: 2-5) (Ps 95: 10) (Acts 13: 18)
The most overlooked example is scattered throughout the writings of both major and minor prophets although it is not explicitly written in the scriptures themselves. It is revealed by the length of time each prophet applied their calling in service to God. For most, it was a full period of forty years. In the case of prophets who prophesied locally (Pre and post-exilic) most every word they proclaimed came to pass at, near, or just after the end of their 40 years of utterance.
Many prophecies from every kind of preacher, prophet and priest have been cast for the period of time we are coming to. One alone stands out far above them all and will reach its 40 year long period in 2013. Needless to say we are referring to the deeply evil scourge we call abortion.
Passages of scripture like this, "That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee," (De 9: 10) are found throughout the bible and while they are totally ignored, God is counting every precious soul that we are discarding like so much refuse and waste material. By 2013 America's death toll for unborn children will be well over 60,000,000 that is - sixty million. Say it out loud and ponder it for a few minutes before going on to anything else. If you can see this in your mind's eye you should tremble.
The theory of evolution, that pseudo-science introduced by welcoming the fairy tale cogitations of Charles Darwin has spun out its 40 year course having been accepted as part of normal curriculum in our schools since the sixties. Huge advances in creation science that have hammered the evolutionary model are being ignored along with the fact that God is being portrayed as a dunce and a liar.
The introduction of the gay agenda and the formation of the politically activist LGBT has run its forty years since Carl Whitman wrote his "Gay Manifesto" in 1970 and then died of AIDS.
Countless preachers have warned and proclaimed that we are approaching the full spectrum of God's patience, voices like Billy Graham who recently said America's shameless indulgence into everything prurient and sleazy is about to meet up face to face with God's wrath.
Editor Joseph Farah of WND has recently warned that if we vote Mr. Obama and his liberal cadre back into power America will be facing the end of its history, not just as a world power, but as a nation.
Conservative radio talk giant Rush Limbaugh says we will undergo a collapse from which we will not recover if we stay on this present path and allow Obama and the liberals to fundamentally change the nation.
Hundreds of churches, faith based groups and organizations are joining together in a call to pray and fast during the last 40 days before Election Day on November 6, 2012. Both churches and individuals have been invited to sign up and participate in the movement known as "40 Days to Save America" The sense of urgency about changing our direction shows that those who have taken the time to carefully weigh what has happened in the last four years are fully cognizant that it will not end well if it is not corrected immediately.
Over 1,000 churches have signed up for what is called, "PULPIT FREEDOM SUNDAY - OCTOBER 7, 2012." They are calling for all churches to speak out on political issues with an eye to making the people of God fully aware of what is at stake in this election. They are advising churches to ignore the 1954 uncontested Johnson amendment which straps 501-C tax exempt organizations from speaking out on political issues. The time has come to speak up.
The weakness of our political view comes from two equally important factors. One is earthly, which is the idea that a man's personal idea of morality has no effect on his ability to make policy or wage war. Mr. Obama's idea of same sex marriage, abortion and other issues is bolstering the immorality of our citizens, but we will all suffer the consequences together. His viewpoint will cost all of us - dearly.
The other factor comes from the biblical message, but surprisingly it is not just the moral message, it is the prophetic message we are ignoring at our own peril. Everything that is happening today has been predicted by the bible, but now we are walking directly into the last stages the bible calls a state of "reprobation."
The bump in the polls for Obama since the DNC Convention and the now infamous "vote against God" at the convention serve to bolster what the best voices have long been proclaiming, to wit:
"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient." (Ro 1: 28)
Reprobation comes with a very short shelf life stamped all over it. We want the prophets to tell us of wars and rumors of war, natural disasters and how they read into the picture, but the morality of any nation and the world can tell us much more about God's timing. America's sense of time, her comparison of theology and the evidence of homeostasis is so weak that almost everyone is missing the most important fact of all.
Two great examples, one from the past and the other from the future speak volumes to the present. From the past we see that Adolph Hitler's final rise to power took a mere seven years, not an entire generation. From the future we see that the world's final dictator (The antichrist) will conquer, suppress and nearly destroy the entire world, all in a period of seven years.
We may think another four years will just be a "chance" for Mr. Obama to try again to correct his dismal failures. But because the historical record and the prophetic record both agree, eight years is one year more than is needed to completely destroy a nation.
At this point I will sharply diverge from mere information to serious warning. I don't need nor do I seek any power, fame, fortune or following, but I will respond to the ministry and calling to which I was appointed and for which I was born. My message is simple, but may be the most serious you will ever hear.
America is at the most important crossroads of her entire history. Our 40 years of testing and proving is over. If we carry this deepening immorality, socialistic political policy and general Godlessness beyond the year 2012, we will cease as a world power, we will be drawn into a worldwide decline from which we will not recover. Our economy will collapse like a house of cards and our enemies will take full advantage of our reduced capacity. Judgment will have begun for us as a nation.
We must decide now if our love for God and our country will take precedence over our love of our respective candidates. For the undecided voter and those who are still reticent to vote for Mitt Romney I will respectfully add this advice. Don't let Mitt Romney become your Ross Perot. Change your frame of thinking as quickly as you can. It is perfectly OK to see it as a vote against Barack Obama, rather than a vote for Mitt Romney. Consider what is at stake.
Other candidates will come along, but we have only one country.

Alan Cox, No. 2 in Linux world, resigns1 min read . Updated: 24 Jan 2013, 10:34 PM IST
Alan Cox's resignation note is a welcome change from the sterility, plain dishonesty of CEO departure statements
Alan Cox's resignation note is a welcome change from the sterility, plain dishonesty of CEO departure statements
In the world of Open Source, they do things differently. Even resignations. Alan Cox, effectively number two in the Linux world after Linus Torvalds, resigned on Wednesday. Cox, who's paid by Intel for his Linux work and officially lists himself as "Works at Etched Pixels Digital Design" on his Google+ profile, announced his resignation in a public statement that is as transparent as it is honest. Here's his resignation statement:
Alan Cox - Yesterday 7:39 PM (edited) - Public
I'm leaving the Linux world and Intel for a bit for family reasons. I'm aware that "family reasons" is usually management speak for "I think the boss is an asshole" but I'd like to assure everyone that while I frequently think Linus is an asshole (and therefore very good as kernel dictator) I am departing quite genuinely for family reasons and not because I've fallen out with Linus or Intel or anyone else. Far from it. I've had great fun working there.
Most of the people who should know more do, I know I've missed a few.
I may be back at some point in the future - who knows. In the mean time if you'd like my job (or indeed one of a range of others) we're hiring 8)
[oh and +Greg Kroah-Hartman I will be tidying up the goldfish remaining work rather than just doing a runner on you]

- Focus on Funds
Only 24% Of Active Fund Managers Outperformed In The Last Decade: NerdWallet
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
There's no shortage of news about active fund managers' difficultykeeping pace with the market. It's gotten bad enough that Calpers, the pension-fund giant, is reportedly reviewing its actively managed investments, raising the possibility that these managers could be dumped for less costly passive funds.
Today, consumer-finance website NerdWallet puts a finer point on it, with a study showing that only 24% of active fund managers outperformed the market in the past decade.
In a study of more than 24,000 mutual funds and ETFs, NerdWallet finds that actively managed mutual funds turned in an asset-weighted average return of 6.5% over the decade, compared to 7.3% for the passively managed index products. The picture isn't much better for equity funds, which saw an average return of 7.19%, while passive funds logged a 7.65% gain.
To add insult to injury, investors have much more money in the lagging funds. At the end of last year there was $7 trillion invested in over 23,000 actively managed mutual funds and ETFs, nearly three times the $2.5 trillion in passive funds.
Yet these figures may have more to do with fees than poor managerial skill.
As the company describes its findings on its blog: "Active managers earn 0.12% higher annual returns than index investors before fees, but because they charge an average fee of 1.07%, much higher than the average index fee of only 0.15%, active investors are left with 1.10% less than index investors despite their manager earnings superior returns."

Despite intransigence from China and the U.S. -- the world's two leading polluters -- the Durban conference can still do some good

As delegates from nearly 200 countries prepare to descend on Durban, South Africa next week for the seventeenth meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP-17) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), pessimism runs high. Privately, the leaders of major established and emerging economies concede that no new climate treaty containing binding emissions reductions will be negotiated before 2016. And even if an agreement were reached, it would not come into force until 2020--eight years from now. This bleak outlook comes despite warnings from scientists and economists about the dangers of delaying dramatic action to mitigate the planet's warming.
Just this week, the UN World Meteorological Association reported that the volume of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere reached a new record during 2010. And emissions appear to be accelerating, with carbon dioxide rising by 2.3 parts per million over the past year--a significant jump from the average (2.0) over the past decade. According to the U.S. Energy Department, recent increases in global carbon emissions exceed the worst-case projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Adding to the warnings, a recent IPCC report predicts that dramatic planetary warming during this century is "virtually certain." Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency, warns that the world has a brief, five-year window to stop a worldwide mean temperature increase of 2 degrees Celsius: "If we do not have an international agreement whose effect is put into place by 2017, then the door to will be closed forever." Two degrees Celsius may seem like a small rise, but scientists regard it as a critical threshold, beyond which the world will face more extreme weather such as melting icecaps, devastating droughts, and torrential rainfall and flooding. And without significant efforts toward mitigation, global temperatures could rise even more.
The reasons for the diplomatic deadlock are plain. Major parties to Kyoto, including Japan, Russia, and Canada, have already signaled that they will not take on a second commitment because China and the United States--the world's top two polluters--are not included in it. The European Union (EU) is prepared to sign up for a second round, but it insists that major developing countries, whose emissions are surging as their economies grow, must embrace and follow through on real commitments. The EU's preference is to negotiate "a single global and comprehensive legally binding instrument" including all emitters, though it would countenance an "interim" solution whereby major emerging countries would accept a "road map" and timetable for treaty commitments. Even this fall-back position faces resistance from the so-called "BASIC" caucus--Brazil, South Africa, India, and China--who are disinclined to accept binding targets that might jeopardize their domestic growth and development goals.
The United States, for its part, has abdicated leadership on climate issues. Heading into an election year, President Obama seldom mentions global warming any more. And with the laudable exception of John Huntsman--who actually believes in climate science--his Republican rivals for the presidency have mostly fallen over themselves to deny its existence or importance.
Given these international and domestic dynamics, is Durban destined to be a failure? Not entirely. While a successor treaty to Kyoto with updated, binding targets is off the table, the conferees have an incentive and the ability to snatch some measure of victory from the gathering.
- First, governments can agree to build on the climate mitigation activities they are already undertaking individually, bilaterally, and multilaterally. Under the broad Kyoto umbrella, parties have adopted various mechanisms and initiatives designed to reduce emissions, ranging from reporting requirements to market schemes for carbon trading, investments in renewable energy, and more robust fuel standards and targets for carbon intensity. As in Copenhagen and Cancun, states parties will stress the cumulative effect of parallel national efforts, rather than a stringent, binding treaty.
- Second, rather than admitting failure and declaring Kyoto "dead," the assembled delegations could seek to keep it on life support, in the form of a political rather than a legally binding agreement. A looser, informal "Kyoto II" could play several roles. It could provide a framework for a more robust system to monitor and verify compliance with stated national goals. It could offer a mechanism for transfer of clean energy technology and climate financing to the developing world. And it could hold out the promise, however distant in the future, of a successor treaty.
- Third, Durban will ultimately be judged on whether the wealthy world makes good on its financial commitments to help developing countries adapt to the climate change the world has failed to mitigate. At Cancun last December, delegations to COP-16 agreed to create a Green Climate Fund of up to $100 billion to help countries cope with global warming. Unfortunately, that target seems increasingly out of reach, as advanced market democracies grapple with slow growth, massive fiscal imbalances and swelling sovereign debts. This week Ernst and Young reported that austerity measures across ten of the world's major economies had created a climate funding "gap" of $22.5 billion--a figure that could double to $45 billion should the crisis in the eurozone escalate.
Perhaps coincidentally, the U.S. congressional supercommittee, composed of twelve legislators from the same country, admitted defeat this week--exhibiting a complete inability to engage in practical compromise. Given the stakes involved, let's hope all the delegations a part of the COP-17--regardless of their diverse interests--do not resign themselves to the same fate.

Social analytics start-up firm Blab launched in public beta today and it claims that its social analytics platform can predict the future of social conversations.
Blab works by listening to 60 million conversions that take place on 50,000 websites. The company uses both text and image matching to detect a websites pages content.
Blab then categorizes the conversations it collects into different general topic areas such as sports and news. Blab claims that it can take patterns from one conversation and then use them to compare new patterns as they emerge. The platform then makes an educated guess at the conversations that will occur over the next three days.
Essentially Blab is a trending tool that aims to predict trends rather than simply reporting on them. [Read more…]

Fast food chain Burger King shut down its Twitter account on Monday after hackers broke in and claimed the company had been sold to rival McDonalds.
The official account showed McDonalds' golden arches as the profile picture, changed the cover photo to McDonalds food, and switched the account name to reflect the 'sale' to the Big Mac purveyor.
In the biography page, the hackers mocked BK saying it had been "sold to McDonalds after the whopper flopped" and changed to location to "in a hood near you."
Ironically, after the attack, @BurgerKing's Twitter following rose from a rather measly 83,000 followers, up to 108,000.
Bacon double Anonymous burger
The account is now listed as suspended, presumably while BK tries to undo the damage. However, there's no undoing the embarrassment this will have caused the company.
While the account was still live, the hacking collective Anonymous appeared to claim responsibility for the attack, citing #OpMadCow. Whatever that is.
Burger King is yet to comment.
