Should Louisiana expand Medicaid benefits to subsidize national healthcare coverage or not?
The Supreme Court decision that ruled the Affordable Care Act constitutional allows for states to choose whether or not to participate in expanding Medicaid benefits to subsidize healthcare coverage for lower-income residents.
Governor Bobby Jindal has chosen to opt Louisiana out of the Medicaid expansion, saying the process would cost the state up to $1.7 billion over the next ten years and move over 100,000 people from private insurance into a government-run health care system. He says that the Obama administration should allow more flexibility for states to design their own programs.
Supporters of the Medicaid expansion say the expansion offers a path to health care access for up to 400,000 uninsured residents, improving people's health while helping Louisiana's health care delivery system. They also note that Louisiana taxpayers will pay for the federal Medicaid expansion whether the state participates or not.
Louisiana Public Square brings together both sides to debate the pro's and con's of the issue on "Medicaid Expansion: Take it or Leave it?" airing Wednesday, May 22nd at 7 p.m. on LPB HD.
Funding for this program was made possible in part by AARP, a non-profit, non-partisan membership organization leading social change and delivering value to people age 50 and over through advocacy, information and service.

Wondering why anyone would be having a garage sale in the middle of December and lured by a hand-scrawled sign laced with gold garland onto a recycled wire frame, I made a U-turn across the boulevard returning with hope for an answer.
As always, the story is greater than the question.
Most of what was displayed on the driveway and carefully arranged and tagged on tables in the garage were Christmas items.
Strands of Christmas lights, untangled from storage for almost a year sat next to a table filled with a collection of dolls, bric-a-brac, and cookie jars bearing a common gingerbread theme

Now Playing 4/16
by DJ Ones on Apr.17, 2010, under Daytime
The Mynabirds- What We Lost in the Fire We Gain in the Flood
WORD, this is my new jam. I am always a sucker for female vocals, and ta-boot, she is the woman from Georgie James! This album has an older feeling, reminiscent of the Dusty Springfield era. A mixture of soul and country makes this album extremely hard to put down. Infectious R&B numbers filled with blues and country influences soaks up all your feelings like a sponge, and when it's over it squeezes everything out of you and you feel so much better for having experienced it.
Kings Go Forth-The Outsider's Are Back
This is exhilarating. You start instantly sweating listening to this, your heart beats faster, your feet start tapping, your body starts moving. Kings Go Forth bring a 70′s soul band sound and an extremely happy vibe all around. I don't know what else I can say about this but enjoy!
New Young Pony Club- The Optimist
There is a clear distinction between this album and their first. Both include dance-able rock music, an evolution of the almost forgotten new wave genre, but this album feels much darker. There is a more mature feeling in the music and in their lyrics. Regardless, this will keep your ass moving!
Sarah Jaffe-Suburban Nature
Remember Cat Power back in the day, all she had was her depressing lyrics and a guitar? That is pretty much Sarah Jaffe, except Jaffe includes musical compositions that resemble Neutral Milk Hotel. I know, right? Awesome.
Trampled by Turtles-Palomino
Now this is for the people who like to bring the house down with BLUEGRASS. Extremely frantic, upbeat bluegrass music that is so damn catchy I needed to get tested after listening to this album. If you enjoy listening to those Avett guys you will probably enjoy listening to this band.
Hmm, now this was the only album I listened to that I just didn't get. Sounds like mixture of Chromeo and Kings of Convenience. Sort of has an 80′s retro R&B theme to it, but sometimes that doesn't translate as well as he wanted it to. However, there are some catchy tunes so take a listen and judge for yourself!
The Radio Dept.- Clinging to a Scheme
This dreamy pop album cues light synths at the best moments possible and relies on a steady drum beat. This is alongside distorted, atmospheric vocals that have you feel like you're walking on air.
Inlets- Inter Arbiter
Singer/songwriter baroque pop that layers vocals and incorporates more fanciful instruments in a way that distinguishes themselves from the typical lounge act.
Family Cactus- Come Howling
Slower, darker vocals match on top of faster paced rock songs. They range from light to heavy in sound, and this breaks the album away from what could have been rather mundane.
Kate Nash- My Best Friend is You
More relationship enraged pop. This time Nash diversifies her sound well. She mixes high energy pop songs with cynical and jealous lyrics to create another fun experience.
The Pack A.D. – We Kill Computers
Think White Stripes. Garage rock duo who are unapologetic and take no prisoners especially on their instruments. A showcase of spill out your guts vocals, distorted guitars, and relentless drumming that rarely lets up.
Sally Seltmann – Heart That's Pounding
Verging on FROU FROU, this album is a JEM and pretty FEIST-y. Sally is a bright and sunny Australian who warms your heart from the start and invites you to listen to the rest of her album. I feel like she was in wistful love when she wrote all these cheerful pop melodies. Play on a pretty day!
Wesley Wolfe – Storage
A very short and seamless collection of acoustic songs played mainly by Wolfe himself. The lyrics and melodies contradict themselves somewhat – introspective vs upbeat and it totally works! You might think he's just another songwriter making music to complain, but check it out and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Cate le Bon – Me Oh My
This album creeps up on you. Beginning with a slow bass line and then added dark layers of crystal clear vocals and psychedelic guitar riffs, Cate really likes to mix things up but the albums main sound is folky. A Welsh version of Nico, even looks wise, Cate's sometimes weird and awkward vocals have created a hauntingly beautiful album.
Two Door Cinema Club – Tourist History
This could quite possibly become the anthem for your summer. Catchy, upbeat, synthy… could be categorized as electro-pop. You can't help but bop your head and pretend to know the lyrics when listening to this. Not quite sure if these guys have their own sound just yet, but this debut is very promising.

"The horror, the horror."
Marlon Brando utters these words as his life ebbs away in the climax of Apocalypse Now.
After the last few days, I can truthfully say I can relate. The horror of what happened in Newtown is slowly sinking in. People feel guilty putting up Christmas decorations. There is a general feeling of despair. The town will never be the same.
I'm a fiscally conservative person. I believe in freedom. I think less government is better for all concerned. I believe in being able to enjoy the fruits of your labors and not having them confiscated by the government to an inordinate degree.
But, I can't get the image of the little 6-year-old daughter of a guy I know, riddled with bullet holes, out of my mind.
I know all the arguments. Forty-thousand people a year killed by cars, hundreds of thousands a year dying of cigarettes, are you going to ban those as well?
Well, these are accidents and choices of free will. Her death was not an accident. So I'm going to say it, even though I will incur anger from some of my colleagues.
We have to change the way weapons are dealt with in this country.
I believe in the right of self defense. I believe in the right to hunt for sport. I believe in the concept of a population being able to defend against a tyrannical government as the Founders did.
But, the line between freedom and the safety of 6-year-old children has to move. Continued...
We can never erase evil from the world. But, if this monster did not have access to high-powered, high-capacity weapons, would the death toll have been less? You are not able to have anti-tank rockets in your home. What's the difference between that and a weapon that can fire hundreds of hollow point rounds in a few seconds? If the guy had fired an anti-tank rocket at the school, would 26 people have died? I am not ignorant to the arguments that the last ban on assault weapons had no measurable effect. I am not ignorant to the fact that most mass shootings occur where people are not armed and able to defend themselves. I'm not ignorant to the reality that the gun bans in Chicago and Washington, D.C., are a joke -- only the criminals have guns.
This should not be an emotional response.
There should be a well-thought-out process to reduce the ease of conducting mass murder in this country. This should include many issues. The prevalence of violence in entertainment, the availability of weapons of war, the treatment of mental illness, all should be included in this analysis.
My 4-year-old daughter overheard me talking with a friend about the shooting yesterday. As I put her to bed last night she asked, "Daddy, nobody can hurt us, right?"
I felt I had to tell her, "No, of course not."
L. Todd Wood http://ltoddwood.com/ is a parent of five children living in Newtown, Connecticut. Wood graduated from U.S. Air Force Academy in 1986. An assignment to the 20th Special Operations Squadron flying MH-53J Pave Low helicopters saw him deployed globally in support of counter terrorism with SEAL Team 6 and Delta Force. In 1994, he left the Air Force as a Captain and joined an investment bank which eventually brought him to Wall Street trading emerging market debt. His novel, 'Currency,' was published in December of 2011.

XLAB International
XLAB International Science Camp
Every summer XLAB organizes two International Science Camps. They are open to interested high school students and undergraduate college and university students from all over the world. Courses are offered in biology, chemistry and physics.
XLAB Alumni
Over the years of it's existence XLAB organized a growing number of science camps and other extracurricular activities in which several hundred students participated.
This is the reason for thinking about founding a XLAB Alumni Association.
It would be great to reassemble years later all students, which once made the wonderful experience of living together under their common interest in Science, in Goettingen and keep in contact via internet.

Texas has recently done a monumental disservice to their youth by choosing to rewrite the history of this country, and their hegemonic rumblings touch on the larger issue of religious fundamentalism and its creeping influence in our country. As a red-blooded and loud-mouthed American, I feel the need to throw my hat into the ring.
Before I address the religious issue I'd like to talk briefly about gun control, since the Texas School board feels the need to highlight the importance of the Second Amendment, which strikes me as the least important part of our Constitution. (more…)

Australian coach Robbie Deans said rugby's north-south divide is shrinking.
Australia came to Florence, the scene of a 32-14 win over the Italians in 2010, on the back of an encouraging 20-14 win over England at Twickenham which made amends for a 6-33 loss to France a fortnight ago.
However, Deans and Australia are likely to come under fresh scrutiny after conceding 13 points in a barren second half which almost gave Italy their first victory over the former World Cp champions.
After hearing South Africa had narrowly beaten England 16-15 at Twickenham on Saturday, Deans gave his opinion on the supposed gulf in class between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
"It doesn't sound like a big divide to me. There's nothing between them, you saw that today," said the New Zealander.
Australia will now head to Cardiff, where captain Nathan Sharpe will pick up his 116th and final cap, looking to seal their tour with a third win on the trot against Wales.
Sharpe, meanwhile, put Australia's result in perspective.
"It's very hard to win over here against a fired-up Italian side. I think there was a great amount of character shown by our boys," he said.
"It sure would have been nice to kick on from that first half but in a lot of ways it's a great lesson for us to take forward, particularly into next year."
By then Sharpe will be enjoying retirement, but for Italy the quest to compete with the big boys playing expansive, open rugby continues.
Virtually absent in an error-strewn first half in which Nick Cummins scored Australia's only try in the 18th minute to cement a 22-6 half-time lead, Italy returned for the second period in defiant fashion.
Deans admitted they had expected a different Italy to reappear.
"That's why we put such an emphasis on the start because we knew, in this context -- it's a great stadium, it's a great arena to play rugby in -- that if we gave the Italian side a sniff they'd come charging at us," he said.
"And that's exactly what happened. Obviously the start of the second half, wasn't the start we were looking for."
Only a minute after the kick-off Robert Barbieri claimed the Azzurri's only try of the game when he ran into the in-goal area to touch down after the ball had been kicked through, with Orquera converting.
When Orquera kicked a penalty minutes later to take the scores to 16-22, the fightback was on.
Italy's only positive from the first half had been their domination at the scrums. At times, it was their only real weapon for garnering points, via intermittent penalties against Australia.
Although enjoying more space and playing more flowing rugby in the second half, Italy continued to dominate the set-pieces.
"One of our biggest issues in the second half was we didn't have the ball, we didn't have possession," said Deans.
Sharpe added: "Our maul defence was okay. Scrummaging, certainly, as Robbie alluded to, we didn't get the set-piece ball we hoped to get.... you would say that the Italians scrummaged very well."
Italy's confidence, boosted by captain Sergio Parisse narrowly missing a second try early in the second half, gave them the momentum and for a short period there was a real feeling they would make their 15th game against Australia a win.
The Wallabies, however, defended well and flirted with finishing on a high when Adam Ashley-Cooper broke through only to be hauled down 10 metres from the tryline.
While buoyed by their positive second half, Italy coach Jacques Brunel simply had to lament their poor first half display.
"I'm disappointed about our first half, we made too many errors and gave them too many chances to put points on the board," said the Frenchman.

Griffin was hurt at the end of a 13-yard scramble while attempting to lead the game-tying drive with the Redskins trailing 28-20. He left for one play, returned for four, then was no longer able to continue.
Cousins stepped in and hit Pierre Garcon for an 11-yard touchdown pass, then ran in the 2-point conversion with 29 seconds to play.
The Redskins have won four straight to improve to 7-6. The Ravens lost back-to-back games for the first time since 2009 and fell to 9-4.
CINCINNATI — The grieving Cowboys rallied for a significant win on Dan Bailey's 40-yard field goal as time ran out.
Dallas overcame a nine-point deficit in the closing minutes behind Tony Romo, who held his hand over his heart during a moment of silence to honor teammate Jerry Brown before the kickoff.
Brown died in an auto accident early Saturday. Defensive lineman Josh Brent, who was driving, remained in jail in Irving, Texas, charged with intoxication manslaughter.
The Cowboys (7-6) learned about Brown's death on their flight to Cincinnati on Saturday. Coach Jason Garrett told his team that the best way to honor him was to play well in a game with playoff implications for both teams.
A late comeback was just enough to beat the Bengals (7-6).
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rookie David Wilson returned a kickoff 97 yards for one touchdown, ran for two more scores and piled up 327 all-purpose yards and Eli Manning threw four touchdown passes to lead the Giants.
The win allowed New York (8-5) to maintain its one-game lead in the NFC East over Washington and Dallas. The loss all but ended the playoff hopes of Drew Brees and the Saints (5-8), who turned the ball over four times in losing their third straight.
SEATTLE — Marshawn Lynch had three touchdown runs and Seattle set a franchise record for points. The Seahawks forced eight turnovers. Richard Sherman and Bobby Wagner each had two interceptions.
Seattle (8-5) kept firm grasp on the final NFC wild-card spot and kept alive slim chances of catching San Francisco in the NFC West race. The Seahawks also picked up their first division victory and assured coach Pete Carroll of his first eight-win season in three years with them.
SAN FRANCISCO — Frank Gore ran for a 1-yard touchdown and reached 1,000 yards rushing for the sixth time in his career.
Gore finished with 63 yards, Anthony Dixon also had a 1-yard scoring run and Colin Kaepernick ran for a late 50-yard touchdown and threw for 185 yards in his fourth straight start since being promoted over Alex Smith.
NFL sacks leader Aldon Smith added two to his total for 19 1/2, passing Fred Dean's franchise-best single-season mark of 17 1/2 set in 1983. Smith also moved within three sacks of Michael Strahan's seasonal NFL record set in 2001 with the New York Giants.
MINNEAPOLIS — Adrian Peterson rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns and Harrison Smith returned an interception for a score.
Peterson topped 100 yards before the first quarter was over, helping the Vikings (7-6) overcome another lackluster day from quarterback Christian Ponder to get a win that will keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
Jay Cutler threw for 260 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions and couldn't finish the game for the Bears (8-5), who have lost four of their last five.
He took a wicked hit to the head from Everson Griffen in the fourth quarter, remained in the game for the rest of that drive, but was replaced by Jason Campbell with 3 minutes to play.
CLEVELAND — Rookie Travis Benjamin's electrifying 93-yard punt return touchdown gave Cleveland momentum and the Browns won their third straight game.
Benjamin's game-changing runback helped the Browns (5-8) continue their resurgence under second-year coach Pat Shurmur, whose future in Cleveland remains uncertain.
The Browns have one more win than last season, and their longest winning streak since 2009.
Trent Richardson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for Cleveland.
PITTSBURGH — Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes, two to Danario Alexander, and San Diego won for the first time in 15 regular-season visits to Pittsburgh.
The Chargers (5-8), who snapped a four-game losing streak, dominated from the outset. They never let Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger get comfortable in his first game in nearly a month.
INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck led Indianapolis back from a 13-point second-half deficit and Adam Vinatieri made two fourth-quarter field goals.
Luck has now engineered six fourth-quarter comebacks for Indy (9-4).
It wasn't all Luck.
Delone Carter cut the deficit to 20-14 with a 1-yard TD run on Indy's opening possession of the second half. And after Pat McAfee's 52-yard punt went out of bounds at the Titans 1-yard line, Cassius Vaughn jumped in front of Nate Washington, picked off Jake Locker's pass and scored on a 3-yard interception return to make it 21-20.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell ran for short touchdowns and the New York Jets kept their postseason hopes alive.
The Jets (6-7) were shut out at halftime for the second consecutive week, but they didn't need to change quarterbacks to spark the offense this time.
Instead, they just pounded the Jaguars (2-11) up the middle.
TAMPA, Fla. — Nick Foles threw a pair of touchdown passes in the final four minutes, including a 1-yarder to Jeremy Maclin with no time remaining.
The rally allowed the Eagles to end an eight-game losing streak — their longest in 42 years.
Foles completed 32 of 51 passes for 381 yards in his fourth start in place of the injured Michael Vick.
The rookie threw an 11-yard TD pass to Clay Harbor with 3:55 remaining, then led the Eagles on a 64-yard game-winning drive after the Philadelphia defense forced a Tampa Bay punt.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Sam Bradford threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Gibson with 48 seconds left.
Bradford was 5 of 8 for 68 yards to cap a 14-play, 84-yard drive. St. Louis (6-6-1) continued its late-season resurgence by winning its third straight for the first time since closing the 2006 season with three victories.

Randi Kreger has brought the concerns of people who have a family member with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) to an international forefront through her best-selling books, informative website, and popular online family support community Welcome to Oz.
More about Mindfulness: Doing Things In the Moment
As you go through your day, don't multitask. Do one thing at a time and really focus in on what you are doing. This reduces stress and increases effectiveness and efficiency (really!).
More About Mindfullness: Not Judging Your Experiences
Do you constantly make judgments? Most people think they don't. To see if you do, spend thirty minutes to an hour watching a news station or reading a newspaper that holds a very different political view than you do. See if you can transform some of these thoughts into nonjudgmental descriptions.
Staying In the Moment Reduces Suffering
When mindfulness takes hold, suffering begins to melt. Learning to take control of your mind, to live in the present moment and chose to visit the past and the future without getting caught up and lost in your thoughts and feelings offers tremendous freedom.
Accepting What you Cannot Change
Non-BP's, being human, want the BP to understand them, validate their experiences, apologize, empathize, and stop borderline behaviors that threaten the relationship. This may happen or it may not. The first step though, is to acknowledge the reality of th4 disorder instead of being constantly surprised when you are let down once again.
Questions to Consider Before Publishing Your Memoir
"Before pursuing publication, consider whether you want to share the gory details of your life with neighbors and strangers. When you tell your story on a blog or in a book—even if you control what and how the story is shared—you open yourself to criticism, challenge, and even ridicule. Are you ready for that? Is your life grounded enough to withstand the praise and critique that come with success?"
"How I Got My Wife Into Treatment"
"It has been five years since my wife completed treatment and I must say life has been steadily improving for both of us. It has been like a big old freight train; it takes a lot to get it started, but then it slowly and steadily builds up momentum. It was a tough battle for both of us. We now both agree that it was well worth it, and it was too bad we could not have been in position to have started years earlier."
Anxiety, Mood Swings, and Borderline Personality Disorder
I've never felt so alone and empty. The only thing I wanted in that moment of darkness and vulnerability was love. I also wanted to take a knife and stab myself. I never ended up following through with the latter and looking back on that night, I should have never left my friends and gone home alone.
Assessing Your Life And How it Has Changed
Unless you're a sibling or an adult child of someone with BPD or NPD, there was a time when you did not live with your borderline or narcissistic loved one. Think about what has changed--and what has changed you.
Distorted Beliefs and Attitudes of People with Borderline Disorder
Does the person in your life with borderline personality disorder have these distorted beliefs and attitudes? Rate these on a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high). This will give you a chance to see where on the continuum your family member lies.
"My Journey With Borderline Personality Disorder"
Many people don't know that some clinicians have had their own mental health struggles. This is the story of one of them who had borderline personality disorder and who blogs at Psychology Today.

New Borderline Disorder Book About Recovery
If you have BPD, Amanda Wang wants to interview you about recovery for her new book. Here is the link.
What To Do About Fear, Obligation and Guilt
This is part two of my post on emotional blackmail.
Fear, Obligation, and Guilt (FOG) in High Conflict Relationships
People with borderline or narcissistic personality disorder may use emotional blackmail because it's the best or the only way they know to get what they want or need. Unwilling or unable to make a direct request, FOG becomes the lever of choice to those who suffer from low self-esteem and have difficulty setting personal limits and stating what they want. Victims capitulate because they often possess these same qualities. And perpetrators use whatever works again and again.
Enmeshment in Family Relationships: 1+1=1
If you don't know where you end and your family member begins, you may be enmeshed. This article will explain what that is and how to get in balance.
Are You an Emotional Caretaker?
To become an emotional caretaker, you need to be highly intuitive of the needs of the BP/NP, intelligent enough to learn the distorted and contradictory rules the BP/NP needs to function, observant enough to keep track of all the nuances of the fast changing emotional family environment, creative enough to find ways to calm and appease the BP/NP, and have a low enough self-esteem to not think that you deserve better treatment, more consideration or equal caring in return.
Write Your Healing Story
Studies show that writing is a form of inexpensive therapy that can help you truly understand yourself. Here are some tips.
High Conflict Politics is Like High Conflict Divorce
In today's politics, there is the fantasy of victory for those who believe they are the sole owners of the truth and own the one right way to the future. This is a narcissistic view of the world that is not real and does not work, and is much the way that divorcing spouses treat each other.
Can borderlines and narcissists have healthy relationships?
Read this list of healthy relationships. Does your partnership meet these standards?
When Has Your Anger Gone Too Far?
Resentment and ignorance often mark breakups with borderline partners. It's normal to be angry and resentful, but when it goes too far it doesn't do you any good and can even be harmful.
Detaching With Love from a Borderline or Narcissist
You do not want to be held hostage to your borderline family member's capabilities or desire to change. That means accepting the fact that seeking treatment is entirely her decision. You can tell her how your actions and words make you feel and suggest solutions. But what she does with that information is out of your hands.
Will Narcissists Seek Therapy?
The number one thing family members want to know about their narcissistic relative is, will they seek therapy? The next question should be, even if they do, will they be able to find the right therapist?
Finally! A Study on Partners of People with Borderline Disorder
Do you have a borderline partner? If so, take this survey.
Why Do Narcissists and Borderlines Lie So Much?
People with borderline and personality disorder (but not all of them) lie for different reasons.
Mary Kennedy's BPD
The late Mary Kennedy is revealed to have borderline personality disorder.
Is Your Narcissist the "Vulnerable" or "Grandiose" Type?
The "vulnerable" type of narcissist has much in common with people who have borderline personality disorder.
High Conflict People Drive Disputes at Home, Work, and School
Some people make life miserable for others. They blame you for their own problems, have no empathy, and always seem to be conjuring up trouble. A subset of them are called "high conflict people" and have borderline or narcissistic disorder.
Be Assertive, Not Passive, in Divorce Disputes
Being passive could cost you a lot in many different ways.
Is Your "Guilt "Really Anger?

A Reader Asks, "Am I Codependent?"
Here, a member of BPDFamily wants to know the difference between supporting someone and being codependent.
A Christian View of Divorce and Abuse
The Christian tradition is that the marriage covenant is broken by adultery or sexual unfaithfulness in marriage. But there are other kinds of unfaithfulness, including abuse.
Radical Acceptance Can Minimize Suffering
Are you distraught every time your family member acts borderline or narcissistic? Are you surprised that once again, this person is self-absorbed/over-emotional/etc.? Radical acceptance can't prevent pain, but it can make suffering optional.
10 Essential Limits for Romantic Relationships
If you are in a romantic relationship with a high conflict partner with borderline or narcissistic personality disorder, you may be confused about where to start when setting limits. In this article, therapist and author Dr. Susan Heitler and I suggest 10 essential limits you might want to set.
Do You Caretake Someone With Borderline Personality Disorder?
Do you care for or support a relative or significant other who has borderline personality disorder or another personality disorder? If so, you are invited to participate in an online survey from researchers at the University of Wollongong, Australia.
Are You Becoming Isolated?
People with borderline and narcissistic personality often try to isolate their partners for many reasons. BPs and NPs can be exceedingly jealous, and often they don't want their partner's family and friends to know what's going on in the relationship. Take this quiz to see if you're becoming an island in the middle of the sea.
Narcissistic Show Their True Colors on Facebook
According to this article, people who are more narcissistic (but may not have narcissistic personality disorder) may be more socially agressive.
Are You Considering Divorce? Read This First!
Many relationships with people with high conflict personalities end in divorce. The better educated you are, the less likely it will all blow up in your face. Here is a quick-start guide from the book Splitting by Bill Eddy.
Tips for Communicating with Someone With Borderline Disorder
First of all, remember to breathe deeply. Don't feel pressured to answer right away. Delay and distract, and empathize with the feelings (but not necessarily the facts).
Detaching With Love Can Bring Peace
Some family members of people with borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder have embraced detaching with love, a concept promoted by Al Anon, an organization for people whose lives are affected by someone who abuses alcohol.

Johnson: Feaster makes a bold play for O'Reilly, but Colorado matches offer sheet
Flames GM attempted to nab disgruntled Colorado Avalanche centre to fix Calgary's long-running pivot problem
DENVER — The gambit was undeniably bold.
Seated midway up an otherwise deserted section of seats at the Pepsi Center on Wednesday, Jay Feaster, cutting an isolated figure, was busy working his phone as practice wore on. The cell seemed permanently stuck in his ear, almost if he had grown a second lobe.
Turns out, the embattled Calgary Flames GM wasn't, as rumoured, booking a dinner reservation at P.F. Chang's.
Instead, he was trying to at last land the No. 1 centre that has long topped this organization's wish list.
They are, in their field, as valuable as original Chagalls, these guys. As rare, as coveted, as Shakespeare First Folios.
You can't sign one.
You can't trade for one.
You can't instantly draft one.
So turns out you hijack one. Or try to, anyway.
In a bold, shrewd move Thursday, Feaster, apparently quite unhappy with what he sees of late on the ice, signed Colorado Avalanche restricted free agent pivot Ryan O'Reilly to an offer sheet.
Didn't take long for the Avs to respond and match the offer.
"We attempted today to improve our hockey team," said Feaster. "We think Ryan O'Reilly is a franchise player. We had trade discussions with Colorado but at the end of the day felt the price to acquire the player was too steep and was something would negatively impact our future.
"So we decided to make an offer sheet. We're pleased the player accepted the offer sheet. We tried to structure it in a way we felt was best suited to get him.
"Obviously, Colorado has decided to match.
"We tried to improve our hockey team today. We try to improve it tomorrow. That's where we are."
The gamble was certainly worth the pitch, but Colorado — which had a full week to respond — needed only until the 12-minute mark of the first period to end any speculation, the club announcing via media release that it had matched Calgary's two-year, $10 million offer — $3.5 million in the first and a whopping $6.5 million in the second — to keep hold of the 22-year-old.
Feaster was clearly counting on an increasingly toxic relationship between player and organization coupled with the dollars involved being enough to make Avs' management throw up their hands in exasperation and/or fury and take a pass.
The gamble failed.
You certainly couldn't blame Feaster for taking the shot. He was simply trying to improve his hockey club, within the rules set out by the CBA. With a fourth consecutive year of no playoffs an undeniable possibility, impatience growing around town and the pressure beginning to mount, he felt he had go all-in with his chips on one spin of the roulette wheel.
The problems at the centre spot aren't resolving themselves. The Roman Cervenka experiment has, for the moment, anyway, tanked. They've been left to shifting wingers — Michael Cammalleri, Alex Tanguay — into the middle to prop up the wheelhouse position.
O'Reilly would certainly have solved the issue, at least to a degree.
Now, he isn't Jonathan Toews or Sid the Kid, but he'd be certainly have slid into that top spot in the middle uncontested. And, only 22, the upside was indisputably intriguing.
In the past 12 such situations, the offers had been matched on 10 occasions. But O'Reilly's not exactly the most popular guy in the Mile High at the moment. The stalemate over a second contract here has gotten more and more acrimonious (in acknowledging the offer sheet in a media release of their own, the Avs didn't mention O'Reilly by name). His dad Brian got involved in the contract tiff on Feb. 19th by e-mailing the Denver Post to stick up for his boy. And the process did more harm than good:
"If my son was getting 95 in math we wouldn't ask him to get 65 so the rest of the students in the classroom could feel better about themselves," he wrote the paper. "Many parents have stories about their kids excelling in certain areas but they are asked to tone it down because you're making the other kids not look as good or feels good about themselves.
"So we ask the person who has a tremendous amount of character to take less money for his character yet it is the essential building block.
"This is not about money and never has been. As you know you don't build a team based on dollars. If you did then the people with the most expensive players would be our champion. You build a team on its character."
Signing the sheet at least forced Colorado's hand.
One way or the other, Ryan O'Reilly would be playing for one of two teams a week from now.
Now he's an Av, for at least a year because they can't trade him till next February, whatever hard feelings may have built up during the impasse.

At the beginning of the Jacksboro Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting last Thursday, Mayor Jack Cannon addressed current revenues.
"We are down right at $41,000 through the end of February, that takes into account our sales tax through the Christmas season," said Cannon.
The mayor further explained the town would suffer another decrease due to the closing of Goody's Clothing Store.
"I will keep you all informed as those things happen," said Cannon.

De-centralised low carbon can play a key role in reducing energy bills, the Micropower Council has said.
The UK energy body said micropower energy systems reduce gas and electricity consumption from energy suppliers and help cut carbon emissions.
The Micropower Council said de-centralised low carbon can also help increase the number of environmentally-friendly jobs and create a real mass market for micro-generation.
Grace Bennett, policy and communications manager at Micropower Council, said energy suppliers are keen to support the government in bringing the UK closer to a low carbon economy and to greater low carbon energy generation.
"Suppliers may be on the delivery side as the scheme is brought forward in the New Year," she commented.
Ms Bennett added that the government is obliged to spend money on financial incentives for companies to use green business gas and electricity and for domestic consumers to use clean energy too.
"It's a now or never situation and we need these ambitious incentives if we are to meet these 2020 targets," she said.

Sebo takes exception to the Californian norm of privileging local ingredients by flying in 95% of its menu daily from three fish markets in Japan. For their steep prices, they guarantee quality and social responsibility: only seasonal, sustainably farmed fish are selected, ensuring a dynamic menu full of fresh sashimi. The basics—medium fatty tuna, salmon, yellowtail—are all fantastic, but be sure to let the Sebo team advise on the must-haves depending on the daily catch. On Sunday evenings, Sebo transforms into an informal gastropub, staying open an hour later and offering a weekly-changing Izakaya menu of cooked plates. Potential offerings of chicken and vegetable hotpots, cured and grilled mackerel, and marinated short ribs displaces the weekday's more traditional edomae-style sushi bar. Located in Hayes Valley, the intimate, sophisticated, loft-style dining space is decorated with authentic Japanese screens and chic trapezoidal wooden tables—but the real catch is a spot at the 7-seat sushi bar facing the kitchen's action. Don't miss their incredible selection of saki to complement perhaps the finest sushi in town.

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – Unlike last year, this winter has kept the Utah Department of Transportation busy. Statewide 500 UDOT plows were out Sunday night doing the best they could to clear the streets and keep ahead of the storm.
UDOT Spokesperson John Gleason said, "I don't know if anyone was anticipating just how much snow would fall and how fast it fell."
Gleason says UDOT was anticipating the storm and had crews out pre-treating the roads but keeping them clean for long was difficult.
"At certain points last night we had two to three inches falling in an hour and no matter how many snow plows you have out that amount of snow falling that hast is going to give you problems," said Gleason.
Surprisingly drivers we spoke with said the highways they traveled were pretty good considering the amount of snow that had fallen.
Mark Bond said, "Lot of snow, traffic was slow, but moving okay considering the conditions…It was a tough situation. It was a lot of snow, but I think they did an okay job."
Another driver, Larry Martinez said, "UDOT looks like it did a good job so far. Salt Lake City is struggling a bit still, but they're doing pretty good."
Despite all the storms we've seen this year, UDOT is on track to keep within its $22 million budget. The cost to clear the roads from October to now has added up to nearly $13.5 million dollars, but with the snow we've seen this year anything is possible.

Twenty-four Renfrew elementary students from Grades 3 to 7 ran a mile in the shoes of marathon champions Friday morning at the East Side school.
Two-time BMO Vancouver Marathon winner Mary Akor, who is again favoured to place high in Sunday's long-distance race, led students on a lap of the field with last year's men's half-marathon champ Kibet Rutto.
Brothers Kip and Ed Kangogo also spoke and ran with the young students. Kip was last in Vancouver to win the 10k Sun Run. He won the recent 10k in Victoria.
The Vancouver Marathon begins 8 a.m. Sunday morning at Queen Elizabeth Park and takes a 42-km route west along 49st Ave, around the University of B.C. campus, past Spanish Banks and Jericho Beach before crossing the Burrard Bridge, circling Stanley Park and finishing downtown at Canada Place.
The 21-km half marathon takes a different course but starts and finishes at the same locations. The race begins an hour earlier at 7 a.m. and heads north, downhill on Cambie Street. Racers cross the bridge and follow a downtown route on the sea wall and through parts of Stanley Park.

Depending on which side of the bike lane debate you fall on, you may see it as a simple matter of self-absorbed yupsters trying to force their radical anti-car beliefs on salt-of-the-earth New Yorkers. Or maybe you view the issue as another case of close-minded old cranks standing in the way of progress?
An online urban journal recently documented the ongoing struggle between bike lane advocates and long time residents over control of the traffic lanes that crisscross all five boroughs.
Next American City reporter Brian Browdie used last year's fight over a proposed bike lane on Bay Ridge Parkway – one which ended with Community Board 10 voting against it – as a textbook example of just how wide transportation preferences can vary among residents of different neighborhoods. And while those opinions may indicate larger socioeconomic and generational gaps, they are often formed as a result of geographic rather than cultural factors, such as the population density and the distance from Manhattan of a given area.

Diamondbacks sign Yankees third baseman Eric Chavez

The Arizona Diamondbacks were looking to add another veteran bat, and Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro was first to report they've landed Eric Chavez.
Chavez to Diamondbacks for $3 million on a one year deal. Expected to platoon with Johnson at third.
— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) December 5, 2012
Chavez, 34, was with the New York Yankees last season and hit .281 with 16 home runs and 37 RBI in 278 at bats. He bats left-handed, which makes him a good compliment to the right-handed Johnson.
Chavez began his career with the Oakland A's, where he became one of the game's better third baseman. He's a career .267 hitter with 248 home runs and 850 RBI.
