Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to divorce
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting divorced, according to an exclusive report from People mag.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to divorce
Molly Eichel, Daily News Staff Writer
So much for couch-jumping. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting divorced, according to an exclusive report from People mag.
"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," Holmes's attorney Jonathan Wolfe told People. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."
Cruise's rep also released a statement: "Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy to work this out."
The celeb uber-couple have been married since 2006, after a whirlwind romance that put a hitch in the 49-year-old's career because of Cruise's supposed craziness for Holmes. Exhibit: The below video in which Cruise freaked out the American populace by being super weird on Oprah. This is Holmes' first marriage, and the third for Cruise, after Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman. The two have a daughter, 6-year-old Suri.
Say it ain't so! We really thought this couple was going to make it. What do you think did it for the couple? Mushy box office for Cruise's recent flick, "Rock of Ages"? Scientology? Reports that Cruise isn't so into women? The world waits with bated breath until Katie releases her tell-all.
When Tom and Katie first got married, we remember a blind item floating around the gossip-sphere saying that an anonymous starlet signed a five-year marriage contract with an anonymous superstar, with provisions for a child. This blind item, foreshadowing the end of the contract, popped up on our radars recently, as well. The time works. Could the contact have been true all along?

Aberystwyth Tourist Attractions
About 6mi/10km to the south of Talybont is Aberystwyth (pop. 13,000), unofficial capital of Mid Wales, situated at the mouth of the rivers Rheidol and Ystwyth (hence the town's name, which in Welsh means "mouth of the Ystwyth"), which join just before reaching the coast. Besides being a university town and a shopping town for Mid Wales, the town is also a popular seaside resort. The university was founded in 1872 as a branch of the National University of Wales (together with Cardiff and Bangor). The university theater Theatr Werin enjoys an outstanding reputation. From the lengthy pier, which extends out parallel with the wide beach, there is a splendid view of Cardigan Bay.
National Library of Wales
The National Library of Wales (founded in 1907), in Machynlleth Street, is one of the six libraries of deposit which receive a copy of every book published in Britain. It possesses some two million books and many thousands of manuscripts, with particular emphasis on Celtic and Welsh literature. From time to time it puts on special exhibitions displaying some of its treasures, including the "Black Book of Camarthan", the oldest document in Welsh, dating back to 1105.On a rocky crag are the remains of a castle built by Edward I. Near the university is Pen Dinas, the site of a powerful prehistoric hill-fort.
Devil's Bridge
From Aberystwyth there is a beautiful road along the Vale of Rheidol to Devil's Bridge, about 9mi/15km to the east. Here the River Mynach flows down through a deep gorge in a series of spectacular waterfalls, with a total drop of 300ft/91m, to join the Rheidol. There are three bridges, the lowest of which, believed to date from the 12th century, is known as the Devil's Bridge. Tradition has it that this bridge was built by a monk from Strata Florida Abbey, 7mi to the south. The two other bridges were built in 1753 and 1901 (the highest one a rail bridge).
Nant y Moch
Just 3mi/5km to the north of Devil's Bridge is Nant y Moch Lake, well stocked with fish. Here there is a nature reserve with a number of waymarked nature trails.
Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge (railroad)
From Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge there is a narrow-gauge steam railroad, covering the 12mi/19km. It was originally built in 1902 to carry lead from the many mines in the hills, the last of which closed down in 1912.
Aberstwyth - Strata Florida Abbey
Little is left of Strata Florida Abbey (Welsh "Ystrad Fflur" = valley of flowers), a Cisterian foundation of 1196 near the source of the River Teifi, although it was in its day one of the leading monastic houses in Wales and a great cultural center. The finest surviving fragment is the west doorway, but there are also remains of the sacristy and chapterhouse as well as a number of tombstones. The medieval Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym is buried here.
Elan Valley
The Elan Valley and the Claerwen reservoir, though serving the purposes of water supply, are of great scenic beauty.
Aberstwyth - Nanteos
This fine Georgian country manor is currently under extensive restoration, thus giving visitors an opportunity to gain insight into the massive requirements of maintaining a house such as this.Some fame has come to the house, as it once was visited by Richard Wagner, and was rumored to hold the Holy Grail of the Last Supper.
Arts Centre
Overlooking the sea in Aberystwyth is one of Wales' major art centers. Aberstwyth Arts Centre contains a theater, concert hall and galleries with both contemporary fine and applied art. The center hosts the International Potters' Festival annually in mid-July.
Aberystwyth Castle
Aberystwyth Musicfest - International Music Festival and Summer School
This annual two-week festival runs from late July to early August.
Booktide Childrens Festival (closed)
This annual festival takes place in late September.
Welsh International Film Festival
The Welsh International Film Festival takes place over ten days in mid-November.
At Llanfarian, 3mi/5km to the south of Aberystwyth, is Bryn Eithyn Hall, with a collection of Welsh furniture, dolls, ship models, etc.
The road along the Elan valley from Devil's Bridge leads to the pretty little country town of Rhayader, in the upper Wye valley, a popular tourist center with fine Welsh craft goods to offer (hand-woven cloth, pottery). Here there are facilities for pony trekking in the surrounding hills with their picturesque little lakes.
Llanidloes (pop. 2,416) is a market town located in central Wales on the Severn.
Llanwrtyd Wells
Llanwrtyd Wells is located northeast of Llandovery.
Cambrian Woollen Mill
The Cambrian Woollen Mill is a working woollen mill. Visitors will learn about the production of woollen cloth on a guided tour and from the video presentation at the mill.
Saturnalia Festival
Llanwrtyd Wells three-day festival takes place in mid-January.

Whoa, I giving compliments here. Besides what is a peice of paper compared to getting paid what you are worth? You can sit up there and beg for work or come down here and make a living. I was only complimenting you not really serious. I would be a little upset if I wasn't working too though. .

Hey man, ive been working in the trade for a little over a year now. Im 23 and did the same thing as you at fanshawe college. I do have my g2 though. Have you been applying to lots of places because there should be work in your area. I dont know your situation but if u can start for 10 to 12 bucks an hour you shouldnt have an issue finding work. Companies in ontario want licensed techs and with the slow economy there are alot of gas fitters out there and having no experience doesnt put you at the top of the food chain. Unfortunatley a G2 or G3 makes you just about as valuable as a fall arrest ticket. I am doing a sheet metal apprenticeship so i do mainly residential duct installs and furnace retrofits. Im grinding it out right now for 11.25 an hour which i can make work as I still live at home its a bit of a struggle still but im just gaining experience. So basically what I am trying to say is if u can afford to take ANY job you can find just to gain experience and i really reccomend working for a reputable company try to stay away from sub contractors for bigger companies if you can because ive heard some horror stories. Stick it out for a year or 2 and the money will come (so i am hoping).
Good luck man keep trying.
You should tone-down the non-HVAC related trade-specific jargon on your resume. Your potential employer does not want to read all of that stuff. Fill in the top part with more about yourself and how you can be of value ($$$) to a potential employer. A residential HVAC company will not care about welding experience. However, a commercial/industrial HVAC company that does service work with large chillers and piping systems will. Organizational and supervisory skills are applicable to all industries. However, since you'll be starting out at the bottom, the only person you'll be required to supervise is yourself.
Truth is still truth, even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it.

I would clean up the past jobs to a few that are relevant to the trade, change your objective to something like To use my skills to become an HVAC tecnician or something along those lines. But most importantly hammer out the resumes, apply in person show up to shops at open time on monday morning show you give a damn, and talk to owners/shop managers one thing ive learned is that the trades are very tight knit community if one shop isnt hiring they proly know someone who is looking or can help steer you in the right direction. These jobs generally arent posted online or in newspapers you have to go out and market yourself.

There is a very wide range of gifts for men here to take your pick from. We have birthday gifts, anniversary gifts and presents for any occasion. Whether you're buying for a partner, family member or friend there is a selection of fun and interesting anniversary ideas for you to take a look at. We have presents for all ages, so if you're looking for a seven or a seventy year old there will be something right for your gift buy.
Our gifts for a man section will give you a wide choice. Sports are popular with many men and so we have provided a selection of days out on a sports stadium tour. You look around the ground, visit the changing room and finally visit the hospitality area for a meal. We currently have visits to football grounds around the country and also to selected rugby venues too. These are an ideal day out for any sports fan.
Our driving experiences are another great man gift idea. If you know a boy racer or just a guy who loves cars then have a look through the range of high performance motor vehicles you can drive around some of Britain's most exciting racing tracks. You can get them behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche and tear around the track at top speed. Locations are across the UK so you're sure to have a venue near you.
If you're buying something for a real thrill seeker you might want to have a look at our adventure gifts to see the extreme activities we have available. For example if you think a bungee jump might be an appropriate present then get him a bungee experience and see if they jump at the chance to do it! Our adventures also include activities like zorbing, which are still as unusual but slightly less dangerous and all-weather activities such as indoor skydiving.

A Much Happier Post
My last post was a serious downer, and I apologize for that. I debated skipping the medical stuff, but I really felt like I needed to justify my decision to back out of ALA—if not to everyone else, then at least to myself. (And enough people have asked "What did you do to yourself, Coral?" that it seemed worth getting it all written down somewhere I could share it, anyway.) Deciding not to do ALA was a hard call. People have been super supportive, though! I am really grateful for the amazing folks in the library world, and I'm glad … Continue reading

Feb 22 2013
The former deputy editor of the News of the World has been told he will face no action over phone-hacking allegations.
Neil Wallis, who has spent nearly two years on police bail, will not face prosecution because there is insufficient evidence.
He said on Twitter: "After 21 months of hell for my family, CPS have just told my solicitors that there will be no prosecution of me re my phone-hacking arrest."
Prosecutors said that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against a journalist arrested under Operation Weeting.
Wallis was arrested in July 2011 on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept communications.
In a statement, Alison Levitt QC, principal legal adviser to the Director of Public Prosecutions, said prosecutors had been considering whether to bring charges against two journalists over alleged phone hacking.
She said: "The file in relation to one of those two journalists was resubmitted on January 11 2013. Having carefully considered the matter, the Crown Prosecution Service has concluded that there is insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction in relation to that journalist. The other journalist remains under investigation."
So far, 26 people have been arrested as part of Operation Weeting, Scotland Yard's investigation into illegal access to voicemails, and another six as part of a separate line of inquiry that came out of the probe.
Of those, eight are facing charges over alleged phone hacking - ex-News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, former spin doctor Andy Coulson, private detective Glenn Mulcaire and five other former NotW staff.
Brooks is also accused along with six other people of perverting the course of justice in relation to Operation Weeting. This is over an alleged conspiracy to withhold material from police.

To wrap up all the goings and doings of our tenth anniversary Serenbe getaway, I was positively delighted when Honey suggested we tour the HGTV Green Home. While I must admit I haven't been over the moon with the pictures I've seen on-line through various blogs and the Green Home site itself, in person there were quite a few drool worthy attributes. If only I could take the interior of the house and wrap it up in one of the cottage-ish facades dabbling the Serenbe landscape, I'd be in heaven. But, at the end of the day, should I be the lucky winner of the give away you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be screaming from the rooftops :-)
So, without further ado, on with the tour…
The tour started in the mudroom of the otherwise unfinished basement. I thought the nail head grid on the wall was nice, but not something I'd attempt at home.
The stairs leading up to the main living space were open and airy…
…and led right up to the kitchen.
The kitchen was smartly designed and very high end and the polished concrete counters were just stunning! They are made by Atlanta's own Dex Industries and showcase bits of shells and Sweetwater Brewery beer bottles right in the material. They can be made with nearly anything and I just can't stop thinking about how gorgeous they'd be with my favorite mollusk (the oyster)!
I adored the large farmhouse style dining table and benches constructed from reclaimed pallets. I also loved the lamps on the sideboard.
I think my favorite space in the entire home was the sitting room. Should I win the home (fingers crossed), I'll be transporting the two wing chairs and that gorgeous mirror made from reclaimed fences straight back to Atlanta first thing.
Those chairs look very Restoration Hardware-ish but they're not. Anyone know a source for them or something similar?
The living room fully opened onto a functional courtyard. I saw those rubber cubes all over Serenbe and wasn't super crazy about them. Those pillows, on the other hand, well I'd take the lot!
The master suite was also on the main level. It was small but nice. My favorite feature was that it too opened onto a darling patio space, complete with a doggie house that would almost make me want a dog to go in it. I looooved those chaise lounges and cushions.
A central feature of the main level was this roof top patio. Very nice for grilling and dining alfresco.
And do you see that room to the left of the deck? That is the home's interpretation of a screened porch (though I wasn't sure why they specifically said "screened" porch seeing as there are no screens.) Sliding doors on both ends of the room completely open. The space is not heated or cooled and is furnished with outdoor appropriate pieces. It was a little dark for my taste…I think painting the walls in a much lighter shade would have really brightened up the room.
The last room on the main level was the study. It was nice, but my least favorite space (decor wise) in the house.
Heading on upstairs are the other two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry and a work space. This bedroom was teeny tiny but nicely appointed.
In the hallway between the bedrooms was a functional and delightful work space. I would love to have something like this in my home. Plenty of room for homework, crafts and artwork in a light and bright, often under utilized space.
The shared bath was nice, but again a bit dark for my taste. I just like things light and bright. I did love the tile in the shower and would be giddy to do something like this in our boys bath should we ever get around to renovating it.
The laundry was dripping in penny tile (lovely) but, again, a tad dark for my taste! I loved the laundry sink, of course, and thought having a closet space off of the laundry (not really pictured) for hanging / organizing / steaming clothes was quite genius. It would be a smart area for storing bed linens, beach towels, etc.
And my second favorite space in the house was the bunk room. My boys would go mad for a room like this. Ever single detail was fun and functional and I loved the modern eclectic colors and furnishings for this space. The tall, graphic upholstered headboards were a striking use of space. And that little pulley system bucket to the top reading loft was adorable. There were two small closets on either end of the room, perfectly sized for two little ones.
I was ga-ga over these little chunky wood paintings and am going to have two have my talented artist bestie Angie make me something similar for somewhere in my house! (Add that to my ever growing list, Ang.)
Back on the main level, we exited the house through the mudroom to the back yard. It too was a very functional space (there were stacked laundry machines in the cabinets!) done just a little too contemporary for my style.
And, looking back onto the house I admitted to Honey that, while it wasn't exactly what I'd choose, I'd be as happy as a clam to win it!
So that wraps up our Serenbe get away. Fingers crossed we don't wait five years to do it again :-)
PS. Y'all let me know if you know where I can get me a pair of those wing chairs!!!

With sleek lines and driven by performance, Savora is created for the most discerning of food lovers. The Savora Garlic Press has a unique standing design and a cast metal handle for durability. The garlic is sliced into a container which holds up to one tablespoon of garlic.
As the average gourmet recipe calls for five garlic cloves, the Savora Garlic Press boasts a large capacity press capable of crushing multiple cloves (or one elephant garlic clove) at once. To accommodate this increased pressure, the press is made of a cast plate with over 60 cutting edges to efficiently slice the garlic with up to 300 pounds of pressure, rather than squash it through conventional press holes.

Im scared to tell anyone im an atheist... Its really hard for me to talk to my family about how much i've changed. My friends have stopped being my friends since i opened my eyes and saw that blind faith for what it really is, a lie. Im angry at everyone who talks to me about religion because everyone is alloud to talk about how good jesus love is and things like that, but when i talk about how jesus love is not real for me i get rejected. I know i shouldnt worry that much about what people think, but lets face it! we all want to be accepted by everyone who sorrounds us and even more when those "everyones" are your "loved ones". I cant talk to my friends about why i dont believe in god, and when i can they think they outsmart statistics and sciene with bible verses and it really frustrating and funny. Its overwhelming to have to hear from your friends how well they did in church last sunday, and how god "helped" them with their hurt, but when i speak about how well i have done with my "pain" and how I, by myself, helped myself without anyone's help, people look at me and say "it was god who helped you, you should be gratefull that he still loves you". Therefore, im starting to ask myself, im starting to question if maybe, just maybe, it would be easier to believe and lay everything i had, have or will have in someone elses shoulders, as in for example; god. Although i know god is in every believer's head, maybe if i let him take over mine, maybe i could feel better and be accepted, but then i think, i wouldnt be me, i would be what society wants me to be and how i can live with myself knowing for the rest of my life that i had to "settle" in order to be an accepted member of my friend circle, my family and society, instead of keep "trying" in order to have a mind of my own? How should i deal with this? How can i make people understand that im the same sweet, kind, loving person that i was when i believed and that what i dont believe know doesnt make me a bad person, on the contrary makes me a better one, because i am the way i am because i want to be because i chose to be this way, not because someone "above" is telling me to be so?
I was very moved by what you said (above), and that's when it dawned on me - have you ever considered taking each of those aside (friends, family) whom you care about, and telling them exactly what you told us. It was honest, sincere and heartfelt. You only want to be accepted for who you are, not what you believe, and surely, SOME of those you care about must be able to understand that, if you really sit down and explain it to them.
I say take them aside, because if there's a third party, your friend or loved one may feel he/she has to prove something to the other person by taking a harder stand. Don't try to convert or convince regarding your beliefs - they're as entitled to theirs as you are to yours - but just explain to them what you've so well expressed to us, that you just want to be accepted for yourself, not your belief system, and make a mutual agreement that religious discussion is off the table, which should avoid future potential for disagreements.
Ask them this - except for church, think of all of the places we used to go and all of the things we used to do, and tell me how these would be less fun now, because of what I believe?
My guess would be that at least a few of them have had some doubts of their own, which they were afraid to admit for fear of being treated as you have been - given the right approach, at least some of these will understand.
pax vobiscum,
I agree with what the archaeopteryx said. We all have friends who are theists and although we don't agree with their beliefs, or even respect their beliefs, we still can accept and love the person.
In terms of you "going back to god". I think you will find it will not be easy, or comforting or helpful. I think you will feel you are living a lie, a lie to yourself.
These are hard times Vrienelly but also great times. This is a watershed moment in your life. You are free. What you have done has taken and does take great courage, but you should also feel incredibly empowered and proud of yourself. This community will support you. Small steps. Take time to breathe and know you are not alone.
We just came out from a situation we thought it was best to "lay low" in. We didn't want to offend people or hurt feelings, family and otherwise. In the end we were forced out of the closet. I think it's best to just stand up and be counted, Christianity would be different if all the unbelievers across history stood up and said "bullshit".
I'm thoughtful and quiescent after reading your post and the answer here. Your post, I believe, has opened up a lot of memories for all of us. You are definitely not alone.
The only story I will add is that my wife is also a freethinker, one I met 9 years ago on Match.com. I had listed 'Atheist' on my online profile. My future wife was the only woman who answered my letter and the only one who thought being an atheist was for the 'plus' column and not the 'negative' column. Being true to myself has always helped me. Those who have a similar 'freethinker' opinionset to yours, those who value diversity and respect opinions, those will be your friends.
The religion meme runs deep in our dna and when our logic trumps belief - we lose the safety and community of religion and church. I don't go out of my way to offend believers, but, I have been known to. I find often that they bring it on themselves. For those of us who don't believe to believe, it is up to ourselves to find our new way.
Not to be an asshole, but....ok I'm an asshole. Sometimes you just have to put s chip on your shoulder. Take shit from no one.
First of all, it seems to me that if you are even contemplating accepting a religious paradigm in order to make your social life run smoother, you are not a true atheist. A genuine atheist is not so by choice; he/she is born that way - with a rational mind instead of a credulous one. In other words we atheists don't CHOOSE not to believe in gods; we CAN'T believe in them. In my case, however, I am also an antitheist; THAT is a choice!
I'm an antitheist, but I don't initiate confrontations with anyone over it, partly because I really don't have any interest in what others believe, so long as they keep it to themselves; and partly because I don't want to be as pushy as the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons who come to my front door on a Saturday morning, uninvited. That being said, I am thrilled when they show up, because I then feel free to bombard them with such a barrage of science and reason that they always leave, an hour or two later, totally deflated, since much of what I lay on them they've never heard before, and for which they have no cogent arguments. Anyone who ventures to convert me does so at his/her intellectual and philosophical peril.
I may have an advantage over you in that I have never been as concerned about the opinion others hold of me as I am about my own self respect. When I was a kid, I was considered a "nonconformist." As a teen, ALL my friends drank. They relentlessly teased me over it, but it just rolled off my back. Deep down, I knew they respected me for it. As an adult, I am regarded by some as a "loner." But I think the moniker from my childhood is more appropriate. A Mormon friend once asked me if I wasn't impressed by the fact that so many millions of people believed in God. I told him that if EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD, except me, believed in God it would have no effect on me. I would just assume that every single person in the world, except me, was stupid.
I hope you respect yourself enough to stick with what the evidence and your rational mind tell you, rather than surrender and appease the ignorant in order to gain their acceptance. Some will respect your opinion, and some will not. It's up to you to decide which most deserve to be your friends.
As to "I'm afraid to tell anyone I'm an atheist...," You shouldn't be, because, trust me, THEY are the ones who are afraid. They are so afraid of death that they will believe ANYTHING that assuages that fear. And they are so afraid of reason taking away their comforting illusions that they reject it - and maybe you, sadly. Stand tall!
Hey Vinelly,
I want to respond to your latest response, and the things you mention in it. I think the easiest way is to break your response down, and respond to each point in context. Here we go...
thanks to all! it really helps a lot to know that im the only one and most importantly that it gets better :) thank you for all the support :)
You're welcome, you're welcomeverymuch ;) And you're right - I think the most consistent thing you should take away from all of this is that it WILL get better. Promise.
i guess it would be better to "lay low" in this situation like some of you said...
I would never say that, and I want to restate I think it's a wrong move - you're only putting off the inevitable. You can't put the genie back into the bottle - you've already gone public with those closest to you, and if you don't stand firm - not be confrontational, of course - in your freethought they will think it was a "phase", and you're coming around. And FSM forbid you tell them you've changed your mind - that will make you appear flighty and indecisive, and they will never respect your freethought if/when you re-emerge from the closet.
although i feel like im trapped in an impossible situation im optimistic about it
And you should be optimisitic. Once more, with feeling:
It will get better. We promise.
because even though its hard to keep it to myself at every moment, i also dont wish to offend anyone that believes...
I want to strongly suggest you continue to talk this out, because right now you feel like you're the problem. You're not. Those who would be "offended" by your atheism are being shallow and selfish - period. Additionally, why are they not sensitive and considerate of the fact that you might be "offended' when THEY talk about their religion!?!?
You must remember: You have every right to believe - or not believe - as you see fit. In fact, in this country you absolutely have that right guaranteed to you by the First Amendment - just as they do. You should respect their right to believe as they wish, and they must respect yours.
it might be hard at first but sometimes "being sincere is not to tell the "truth" but to never disagree with our own thoughts right?
OK, sorry, but this last bit confuses me. Let me put it this way: My mom always told me, "I'd rather hear the awful truth than a beautiful lie." - and I think this applies in many ways throughout our lives - including this one. If you want them to respect you and eventually realize they love you regardless of your (non)beliefs, then you must stick with the truth, now. Once again, you do not have to be confrontational - but stand your ground if you're being pressured to NOT be yourself.
thanks a lot :)
We're all here, in this discussion, because we've been there and we've been through this same exact thing - and we want to help you learn the lessons we learned, and maybe help you get through this more quickly and less arduously than many of us did. And I'm sure for most of us, this is a "pay it forward" kind of thing - so there's no need to thank us.
just to repeat those that say its easy to come out never had anything to lose an thay that say your not a true atheist are ignorant i feel i had say that becuase there are atheist that are as bad as the religulous acting like fundentalist saying this that and the other puting others down cuase your figuring out your situation and where you stand but that clarify atheist just means not believing in god and thats it anything after thats its up in the air but most of us that are sane are agnostic which means 'you dont know" so a "agnostic" atheist is just a person who say "i dont know if there is a god or not but there is no evidence so support the existence of god so there for i dont believe" so i just wanted to put that out there
i was just thinking about how easier it would all be if i was capable of "believing", but even before, when i did believed, i knew there was something strange about it all, i wanted to believe so bad! but i just couldnt. I tried and i tried but i never really was abble to buy anything i was told, even as a child i always asked questions that no one would answer... when i found the answers to my questions i realized i was, and still am, an atheist. thats why i wrote "maybe i could feel better and be accepted, but then i think, i wouldnt be me" because i DO respect myself enough to stand up for myself and for what i believe in, or in this case what i dont believe, thats why im in this "place" because im going to tell everyone that's close to me that im an atheist because that shouldn't change the way they feel about me, if something changed it would have to be how proud they should feel that they have someone strong enough in their family that is strong enough to go against everyone to defend whats on her mind, my mind ;)
And i decided to do this thanks to you all :) so thank you again, and even though i know it wont be easy at first, as you guys told me, it will get better
PS: im sorry if i dont explain myself correctly, but english is not my first language and sometimes words get mixed in my head :)

Disability news and findings from around the world. In the News: Los Angeles Times profiled Vietnam veterans who file for disability benefits. More highlights
Download FREE Adobe Acrobat® Reader™ to view PDF files located on this site.
The Center for Studying Disability Policy was established in 2007 by Mathematica to inform disability policy formation with rigorous, objective research and data collected from the people disability policy aims to serve. The Center supplies the nation's policymakers with the information they need to navigate the transition to 21st-century disability policy. For over two decades, Mathematica has conducted many significant disability studies, including some of the first rigorous evaluations of employment supports for people with severe disabilities and the largest surveys of people with disabilities. More than 30 staff continues this pioneering work today through a wide range of innovative disability research and data collection. Read more about the Center for Studying Disability Policy.
A new paper examines employment-focused interventions within the U.S. disability system. The review illustrates the challenges of developing and implementing these types of initiatives, despite substantial policy interest. Our findings indicate that none of the demonstrations we reviewed have the potential to lead to substantial caseload reductions that could reverse program growth. However, they can inform future designs, particularly the importance of customizing supports to very well-defined target populations.
New Data on Efforts to Reduce Hospitalization and Nursing Home Care Among High-Risk Medicaid Beneficiaries June 6, 2013 • 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Mathematica's DC office States across the country are seeking opportunities to reduce costs and improve outcomes for Medicaid beneficiaries. Join us for a CSDP issue forum and webcast highlighting new findings on the value of timely access to home- and community-based services (HCBS) for Medicaid beneficiaries at high risk of nursing home admission. Also learn about new efforts to integrate care for beneficiaries who have chronic health conditions and serious mental illnesses. Information and registration
In 2008, SSA revised the Ticket to Work (TTW) program rules with the goal of encouraging providers to serve beneficiaries interested in or only able to perform part-time work. A new brief discusses how the TTW participant population has changed under the revised regulations and examines how the regulations may have affected beneficiary service use, employment outcomes, and satisfaction with TTW. The changes observed in the TTW population after the regulation change are consistent with the stated goal, with participants more likely to be under 25 or over 55, to report that their limitations were due to psychiatric disabilities, and to be attracted by the possibility of part-time work.
Multiple federal agencies have partnered to link existing CMS administrative data files with national health-survey data collected by NCHS in support of new comparative effectiveness research (CER) initiatives. By linking administrative data with survey data, CMS, NCHS, and their partners will provide researchers with a new data source better suited to CER than either administrative or survey data alone. This report focuses on the linking of NCHS survey data to the Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX), a set of research-oriented Medicaid administrative files. Data sources are described, the linkage algorithm is presented, and advice to researchers is offered.
*"Medicaid Analytic eXtract 2008 Encounter Data Chartbook." Rosemary Borck, Ashley Zlatinov, and Susan Williams, February 2013. This chartbook uses Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) 2008 data to describe the service utilization of Medicaid enrollees in managed care plans. The chartbook extends the analysis of the previous MAX chartbooks, which focused on the service utilization of Medicaid enrollees covered on a fee-for-service basis. This chartbook also supplements recent MAX issue briefs that focused on the quality and completeness of encounter data. This chartbook provides valuable information for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and researchers on the availability of and uses for encounter data in MAX data. Appendix Tables
"Matching Study Designs to Disability-Related Comparative Effectiveness Research Questions." Jeffrey Ballou, Eugene Rich, and Matthew Kehn. Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research, January 2013. To better address the need for high-quality and informative research on the effectiveness of interventions for people with disabilities, an article in the Journal of Comparative Effectivenessthe authors conducted a comprehensive review of existing standards for assessing evidence quality in order to determine their applicability to disability research. This article presents methodological and design issues for researchers to consider when addressing disability-related comparative effectiveness research questions.
*"Which Medicaid Buy-In Participants Use SSA Work Supports?" Denise Hoffman and Jody Schimmel, November 2012. This issue brief describes the use of SSA work supports among the nearly three-quarters of Buy-In participants who also receive Social Security Disability Insurance. To better understand who might benefit most from program outreach, the researchers explored variation in use rates by age, education, and disabling health condition. The brief also examines the relationship between work-support use, employment, and earnings.
