To begin, browse accredited business degree programs and certificate courses online. Concentrating on Enterprise State Community College programming contest, for example, you may gain an advantage in corporate recruiting being done on-campus. Check with the computer programming department for course registration deadlines, and software programming program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Enterprise State Community College.
Businesses of all types have a profound need for talented software specialists. Programmers often start out with a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering, followed by intensive on-the-job training. Computer science (CS) degree programs may cover diverse programming languages, depending on the application involved. For example, the C# language combines the robustness of C++ with the advanced features of JAVA programming. The C# language is most easily compiled within Visual Studio IDE, a rapid-development platform. If you are writing a web-based application in ASP.NET, you will be required to code in C# or Visual Basic for the backend.
Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank's computing needs. On the other hand, the JAVA language may be used to develop enterprise-level applications and accelerate the design of video games or iOS/Android mobile apps. By way of comparison, some large websites that make use of the Python language include Pinterest and Instagram. In fact, many CS students gain hands-on experience in software development by completing a business internship at a software company while still in college. The median annual wage for computer programmers was $90,530 in May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the computer programming department, you may consider Rogue Community College course listings as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

What does sericulture mean?
Definitions for sericulture
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word sericulture.
Princeton's WordNet
raising silkworms in order to obtain raw silk
the production of raw silk by raising silkworms
the cultivation of silk
Origin: sericious + culture
Webster Dictionary
the raising of silkworms
Origin: [See Sericeous, and Culture.]
Sericulture, or silk farming, is the rearing of silkworms for the production of silk. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, Bombyx mori is the most widely used and intensively studied. According to Confucian texts, the discovery of silk production B. mori dates to about 2700 BCE, although archaeological records point to silk cultivation as early as the Yangshao period. About the first half of the 1st century CE it had reached ancient Khotan, and by CE 140 the practice had been established in India. Later it was introduced to Europe, the Mediterranean and other Asiatic countries. Sericulture has become one of the most important cottage industries in a number of countries like China, Japan, India, Korea, Brazil, Russia, Italy and France. Today, China and India are the two main producers, together manufacturing more than 60% of the world production each year.

Are you the first born-middle child or baby-or the only child? What is your take on the middle child?
I'm the fourth of six...all raised in the same household.I liked being somewhere in the middle.I was flanked by love:)
i am the baby of three. my sisters are 10 and 8 years older than me respectively so i grew up basically an only child with siblings all gone. My eldest sibling is a successful college educated mommy, I am still putting myself together, but enjoy some stability, My middle sibling is a weak whiny stubborn drug-addled unstable freaking mess. make what you will of it.
I am the baby and I get all the attention and so does the first born in think the middle gets the shaft the parents try to hard the first time and are to tired from all their efforts on the first child and by the time the third grows up they have energynto apply and learn from all their mistakes they made raising the first two
Oldest. My take is that family roles and their impact is more complex than birth order.
I'm the eldest, of four children. I was the adventurer,left home young, travelled as a musician, lived in a commune, was always the bohemian, before settling down. My youngest sister had problems w/ alcohol and men, but has a brilliant mind. The two middle children, sister and brother, have led relatively calm lives and are successful in their careers.
I'm in the middle and my take on middle children is they're born in the middle .
I'm the middle child, I'm the only one that went to college, never been arrested or had substance abuse issues etc...I don't fit the "middle child syndrome"
Neither does my brother or my middle sister, they both seem relatively angst-free. She's a successful artist, and he's a policeman.
there are two of us in the middle two on either side
First of 3 on my mum's side, 1st of 5 on my dad's side and including my step-brother 2 of 6. I was always daddy's little girl and that was up until my baby sisters were born
It depends. I'm my mothers first and my fathers second. But the first middle. Its confusing.
I'm THE first born among all of my siblings and cousins.
I'm the middle child. I'd say the middle child is awesome!!

Deep-Fried Cuttlefish Balls
90 g/3 oz very tiny bread cubes
500 g/1 lb fresh cuttlefish or squid, cleaned
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
peanut oil for deep frying
To prepare the bread cubes, cut very thin slices (about 5 mm/1/4 in thick) of day-old bread. Trim off crusts and cut the bread into thin strips, then into tiny dice.
Wash cuttlefish well, removing any of the fine membrane that may still be clinging to the flesh. Chop cuttlefish finely or mince in a food processor using steel chopping blade. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the salt, sugar and sesame oil. Take teaspoons of the mixture and roll into small balls about 2.5 cm (1 in) across. Spread diced bread on a sheet of paper and roll the cuttlefish balls in them until they are covered.
Heat oil and deep fry the balls, a few at a time, until golden. Do not overcook. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Becks Sapphire Sends NYK to NYFW
When Beck's Sapphire held a series of launch events in Chicago beginning with a Media VIP preview party on January 23rd, Now You Know Events had to be there. Each evening of the Chicago Becks Sapphire launch brought an incredible opportunity to all guests – a chance to win an all-expense VIP paid trip to Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week. That first night I stood among my friends as we each entered to win. I remember uttering the words, "One of us is going to win." Wanting the trip so bad I contemplating attending every Becks Sapphire launch event in Chicago but opted not to go and then honestly forgot about the contest.
The potential prize had become a lost memory until a phone call on February 7th less than an hour after telling my co-workers I needed a break and just needed to get out of here. The simple words, "Congratulations, you have been selected as a winner in the Becks Sapphire sweepstakes to win a trip for two to NYFW," made that dream a reality. Within under 24 hours my flight, hotel, and Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week itinerary were set. I've been pinching myself ever since.
Airfare on United, a room at the incredible Dream Downtown Boutique Hotel, dinner at Marble Lane restaurant, tickets to 3 NYFW shows, invites to the Becks Sapphire after parties with Betsey Johnson and NY Mag, and some spending cash to boot; I just had to be dreaming. But I'm not! This is my life and to show my undying love and appreciation to Becks and everyone else involved in making my dreams come true, I will be updating you all on my experience throughout New York Fashion Week.
Come back to this post daily starting Monday for regular updates. Also 'like' NowYouKnowEvents on FB and follow NYK_Events on Twitter and Now You Know Events on Pinterest for more footage from our once-in-a-lifetime experience. In the meantime enjoy some of the best clips from New York Fashion Week thus far. And check out daily live streaming of all the shows here:
Czar by Cesar Galindo Fall/Winter 2013-14 was one of the most anticipated collections this year.
Monday, February 11, 2013 (Day 1)
Our flight on United took off with a minor delay but was a smooth ride and landed us in NY when expected. Our driver was at baggage claim waiting with a sign that said Cahnmann and led us to our luxury ride that whisked us to Chelsea and dropped us at the infamous Downtown Dream Boutique Hotel. What a befitting name given that we are truly living a dream right now! We couldn't wait to explore and excitedly rushed to our room gawking at every view. It was beyond perfect – so swanky and modern; chic and stylish. There was a welcome message on the TV screen along with a couple six packs of Beck's Sapphire, a Becks bottle opener, and a welcome packet. After a quick video and photos we got fashionably ready for our dinner in the hotel lobby, Marble Lane. We were wined and dined all night enjoying succulent appetizers, delectable entrees, tantalizing sweets, cocktails, and of course unlimited Becks Sapphire.
And then the moment we were waiting for finally came. It was time to open our envelopes with all our goodies inside. It was like waiting for your name to be called to win the Oscar. There were our checks to cover extra expenses, VIP after party passes, a Metra card to get around town, and tickets to FOUR runway shows at Lincoln Center – Vera Wang, Naeem Khan, Michael Kors, and Nanette Lepore. Shut the front door…. was all this really happening???!!! YES! We spent the rest of the evening traipsing around Chelsea and the Meat Packing District looking scouting out somewhere to dance the night away but these New Yorkers don't go out til late (well after midnight) plus not much jumping on a Monday night. So, after about an hour or so of galavanting around the city, we decided to update our fans and get some beauty rest for our full day of fashion tomorrow.
Please check out our facebook page for ALL of our photos from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City! We will be adding new albums daily so visit us on FB regularly to make sure you don't miss out on our latest Fashion News. Were off to Vera Wang and Naeem Khan tomorrow. Can't wait!
Since this week is all about fashion and we love shoes, let's show some love for the great Jimmy Choo.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 (Day 2)
It's 1 in the morning here in NYC and though we could still be out partying the night away but we wanted to make sure we brought you our daily NYFW update. Besides we've been on the go since 9 this morning without stopping and we have to make sure we make it to the Michael Kors show tomorrow morning. Today was exciting and way beyond what we could've ever expected. Our driver picked us up at 9:30AM to take us to the Lincoln Center for the 11 0'clock Vera Wang show. Walking up towards the Lincoln Center with the larger-than-life Mercedes Benz Fashion Week sign spread across the top of the entrance was surreal. And things only got better once we stepped inside. We were on sensory overload with everything going on. Swag was being given out left and right. They had the most modern, optimized coat check system where you enter your phone number and have your photo taken so no losing your coat ticket or coat. There were also free snacks and so many incredibly fashionable folks abound.
Soon it was time for Vera Wang and we were escorted to our seats for the show. We spied Jada Smith and John Legend in the audience and made sure to snap a photo. The show itself was amazing. Catch a clip from the final below. After Vera Wang we had some time to kill so we grabbed a bite to eat nearby and snapped more photos of the crowd then chilled in the Beck's Sapphire VIP lounge until our next show, Naeem Khan. If you are not familiar with this incredible designer we suggest you get to know him ASAP! Can we just say, he is our new favorite designer. We were in absolute awe of everyone of his gorgeous pieces. His attention to detail is beyond words. See the photo above for a glimpse at his latest collection.
After the shows we galavanted around New York checking out thrift shops and grabbing another bite to eat with a close friend and resident New Yorker before heading off to see a fashion/theatrical production from 21st Century Fashion House Neodandi at EN Japanese Brasserie. Neodandi designer NiiLartey De Osu fuses texture, movement, and color into designs. The runway show itself featured 35 women's looks and 7 men's looks. The show took a unique approach splitting the designs into 8 collections and having the models sashay down a square runway passing by a dramatic solo performance. Though a unique exhibition it wasn't really our cup of tea. The designs just didn't intrigue me though I did enjoy the theatrics as I felt the passion, the depth, and the story being unfolded before our eyes. A cocktail party catered by chef Abe Hiroki followed the show accompanied with small bites from EN. Unfortunately the food didn't impress either. Though we were "blown" away by the beautiful blown glass vases gifted to all the guests. Nevertheless we know the Neodandi team has a great following and I can see why researching the history of the line. There are some very edgy, artistic, and unique looks. Fans will be happy to know that the team will follow up the show with the opening of their first NYC boutique in late February and a permanent move of their Seattle atelier to NYC in late Spring. Check out the photo below from the show and see more photos by clicking these links.
Finally we made our way to Le Baron in Chinatown for the Beck's Sapphire After Party with Betsey Johnson. The Beck's Sapphire was flowing all night as the DJ spun funk and hip hop tunes and the crowd danced to the beats. We then headed to another fashion week after party. Let's just say we had an incredible day/night and cannot wait until tomorrow! See more photos on our facebook page.
Wednesday, February 13, 2013 (Day 3)
After a full day & night out Tuesday we couldn't wait to welcome Wednesday's itinerary starting off with the Michael Kors Runway Show at 10am where we spied none other than long-time actor Michael Douglas. Bright yellows, blues, and oranges covered the runway alongside black and white sleek and sporty looks. We loved the runway set-up for the Michael Kors show as the models weaved their way up and down for aisles to ensure no one missed a look. Directly after that show we were escorted into Nanette Lapore where we saw lots of texture, color, and holographic designs.
Though we were sad to see our last Mercedes Benz Fashion Week show, we knew we had to see as much of NY as we could in the little bit of time we had left. Being that it was Ka's first visit to the Big Apple, we convinced our driver to take us to Times Square and wait while we walked around. Ka enjoyed the larger than life advertisements and all the lights but was as anxious as I was to get in a little shopping. So we located our driver and headed to Soho – the shopping mecca of the U.S. With little time to spare we did some minor damage and made a few impressive purchases. I, of course, found a couple more pair of heels. Then it was back to the hotel to change and hit some more after parties.
We opted to check out the Urban Gypsy party at the Empire Hotel Roof Top Bar and definitely made a good choice. We enjoyed an open bar, lots of fashionably fabulous guests, and another runway show. Since we hadn't eaten much all day and were craving sushi we asked around and located Sushi Damo which we were very impressed with all around. Prices were very reasonable for NY standards, service was impeccable, and the food was delicious! Satiated and re-fueled we headed back towards our hotel to get ready for yet another after party. There were so many options – Jeremy Scott at the Standard, Nanette Lapore at Darby's Downstairs, The Cosmopolitan Cover Party, Champagning's 1 Year Anniversary at the other Dream Hotel location. The options were endless. Yet we opted to enjoy some chilled Beck's Sapphire in our hotel with a good friend also in NY and then maybe hit up PH-D – the roof top bar at the Dream Downtown. It was the perfect end to a perfect vacation.
Thursday, February 14, 2013 (Day 4)
We woke-up bright and early the next day to enjoy breakfast at the Chelsea Market and check out the hotel pool which by the way was quite wild. The pool has a glass bottom with the hotel lobby visible below. So if you're swimming in the pool you can see the lobby guests down below and they can look up and see you up above. We definitely recommend the Dream Downtown for your NY stay. At 10AM it was time to meet our driver and head back to La Guardia to catch our flight back to the windy city. We were beat but had the time of our lives. It still feels like a dream!
We're throwing in one last video since we heard the Tadashi Shoji Spring 2013 was amazing! Here you go.
One Comment
I'm impressed, I need to say. Really rarely do I encounter a weblog that is both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you've got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the problem is something that not sufficient many people are speaking intelligently about. I am incredibly happy that I stumbled across this in my search for some thing relating to this.

Information Security and Multi-Compliance: Avoiding Audit Fatigue with a Single IT Compliance Strategy
The compliance approach to meeting information security goals tends to follow the cycle of crisis-driven audit preparation, audit, audit findings, remediation, and retesting. This may also be followed by a highly political search of who is to blame for the unsuccessful audit. Often, the person held personally responsible will be the CIO, who may in turn blame the CISO or compliance officer. In either case, IT management has tremendous incentive to figure out a new, more effective approach to meeting these information security and compliance goals.
This Prescriptive Guide provides nine steps that information security managers can use to break the compliance blame cycle and build an information security program that more effectively mitigates security risk. By successfully executing these steps, the information security manager will no longer continually react to and manage the audit preparation crisis du jour. Instead, the information security manager will institute and rely upon regular, defined activities to complete the heavy lifting of preparing for a successful audit long before the audit occurs.

Back in November, news came out that Rovio had partnered with Kaiku on Angry Birds prepaid Visa cards. Today, Kaiku announced the launch of the cards, which come in four designs.
The cards are available in: Red Bird, Yellow Bird, Bomb Bird and Bad Piggies - the basic designs you would want.
"We're excited to be working with Kaiku on this fun new way to bring Angry Birds into the physical world and fans' everyday lives," said Rovio CMO Peter Vesterbacka.
Kaiku CEO Jon Round added, "Kaiku's partnership with Rovio allows us to continue taking our prepaid Card to a broader audience by empowering consumers with differing needs to maximize their financial future. The collection of Kaiku Angry Birds Cards will not only resonate with the vast number of Angry Birds' gaming fans, but also consumers who are looking for a smart and affordable financial option in a dynamic and colorful prepaid card."
I'm not sure at exactly what point Angry Birds became a true pop culture phenomenon. It was certainly quite some time ago, but between this and the upcoming cartoon series, it looks like it won't be going away anytime soon. Oh yeah, there's also a movie coming out.

Winter came back yesterday, it boy oh boy is it ever beautiful here. Wet snow fell throughout the day and is falling lightly again this morning covering everything in the most picture perfect fluff…quintessential New England!
The flock of robins that have been visiting to strip the berries off the hollies are now in the crab apple trees,and the feeders have all been very busy. Looking out at the gorgeous view and the show being put on by our feathered friends while enjoying my morning coffee in the warmth house on a lazy Sunday is just about my favorite way to start a day. Add in the fact that later there will be chili simmering and playoff football TV, does life get any better?

Barceloneta or Little Barcelona was built after King Felipe V ordered the construction of a new fortress (La Ciutadella, nowadays a park) in order to control and punish the city of Barcelona, that fought against him during the war of Spanish Succession. The fortress was planned very close to the city so that a tenth of it was demolished, and the people who lived in this part had no compensation and as a bigger punishment were obliged to demolish their own houses.
The people from the demolished part of Barcelona had to move, so a new quarter was planned by the French military. Therefore, the streets are straight and with a square shape. There are still some houses from this period, easy to recognize because they are much lower than the others and have a simple neoclassical decoration.
Historically a fisherman's quarter, Barceloneta was traditionally a poor quarter, with dark and narrow streets, but since the 1992 Olympics significant gentrification has taken place. Most noticeably along the seafront. There are now delis serving upscale foodstuffs and high rise office buildings going up.
You can arrive either walking from the city center (15 minutes in a nice walk around the harbor from La Rambla) or by subway (L4 yellow line stopping at Barceloneta).
The second biggest aquarium in Europe. Watch thousands of fishes, penguins and sharks in this interactive sea-life museum. Unlike Genoese Aquarium it has a long glass "tube", where you can walk watching sharks and other fish swimming around. Located at the Port Vell leisure center, next to the IMAX cinema. Entrance ticket - 16.
Parc de la Ciutadella
This park is Barcelona's most central park, and includes a zoo, a lake and several museums. In fact, the park is so large, 74 acres, that the Catalan Parliament can be found in the center of the park. It's a great place to enjoy games, sports or to spend a leisurely afternoon.
It was built at the final part of the XIX century in the place that formerly occupied the fortress (ciutadella) built after the defeat of 1714. This fortress was hated by the citizens, and when the middle age walls were demolished, so was most of the fortress. Some buildings where conserved, as such as the church, and the gunpowder magazine. The new park was used as the place to hold the 1888 international expo, and some of the older modernist buildings are there, such as the Zoology museum, the greenhouse and, following the avenue Passeig de Sant Joan (towards the mountain), the Arc del Triomf, a modernist Arc de Triomphe.
Olympic Port
It has a large number of restaurants, bars and other establishments which have made Barcelona's nightlife bustling. In this wide offer you can find also the Barcelona Casino.
It is in Parc de la Ciudadella. Prior to his death, this zoo was famous for its albino gorilla "Snowflake". Today this zoo still has many other features including a science museum inside the zoo. Entry fee 16.
Museu d'Història de Catalunya (Catalonia's Museum of History)
In Catalan and English. A must in order to understand the troubled (and sad) history of the Catalans. Free on the first Sunday each month (but they close at 14:30)
Museum of Natural History
This museum in the Parc del Forum (in the building made by Herzog & de Meuron) is especially recommended for children. Most interesting is the rain forest project, in which you can observe a living forest from various angles (even from below!).
Just 10-15 minutes from
There's nothing better than covering your toes with sand and lying upwards in the sun, and there's no better place to do this than on Barceloneta's famed beauty. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Engine Mechanical problem
2003 Land Rover Freelander 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 59,000 miles
Just purchased a 2003 Freelander with 59k miles on it, and it drove beautifully. Went out to the garage one afternoon, and it wouldn't start - bells ding, etc, but it would just click. Battery cable was loose, and it was reattached - replaced the starter, and it still won't start. Tried to turn the motor over by hand, and it's solid. Do you have ANY suggestions as to what could've happened? Or what will happen next? When you put the car in neutral, it will roll.
have the same problem?

This post is not about jiujitsu except in the most tangential of ways, but it is timely and important to me. I hope you enjoy it anyway, and if so moved, you click through and take 2 minutes to register your vote, which is absolutely free and generates no spam. I would also love it if you would share. Thank you!
I started doing debate in 1989 at Canby High School in Oregon. Debate taught me to think, to work hard, and to listen to other people.
For a lot of other debaters, this turns them into lawyers. Me, it turned me into a journalist and, later, a public relations person for social justice causes (among other things).
If there is a common thread to my delightfully odd life, it comes from debate: you identify a problem. You think about what you can do to help, listening to the smartest folks you can find along the way. And you do what you can. This isn't so different from what animates me about jiujitsu, now that I think about it.
That's more or less how the Women's Debate Institute started.
When I was coaching high school debate in Washington, we had amazing young women debaters in the state … and they almost all quit debate after a few days, or weeks, or months. I thought about that human potential and how valuable debate could have been for these folks that were, for one reason or another, leaving the activity in droves. I've been a feminist for as long as I can remember (being the only male child of a single mom can do that to you), and it seemed like a crime to let this keep happening.
That was in 2000. Almost 15 years later, a bunch of fantastic people have helped WDI grow beyond my wildest dreams. Improvements I couldn't possibly have envisioned, other folks made happen.
Debate camps typically cost thousands of dollars, excluding the very populations for whom debate is most beneficial. It was always important to me to keep the camp affordable, and we did. But the team that took the reins was able to raise enough money to do national outreach and make the camp free. Free!
The lesson, for me: No one of us is as smart as all of us. No individual is capable of what we're capable of together.
Debate's transformational power can't be overstated. I probably would not have gone to college without it. Through WDI, hundreds of young people have had this and other doors opened to them. Where there was tremendous need, we've made incredible strides.
I've been really lucky over the course of my 40 years on this planet: I've lived and worked in incredible places and met a ton of wonderful people, people I'm in awe of.
But WDI is the best thing I've ever done with my life, and it's populated with some of the most impressive people I've ever met, and I'm proud to still be a small part of it.
I could tell you hundreds of WDI stories. Instead, though, I'm going to ask you for your help. It will take you two minutes, won't cost you anything and won't get you spam.
Sometime between now and the end of Thursday night, please vote for us to receive a $10,000 grant. You can vote once just by clicking and have your vote count three other times by sharing on Facebook, Twitter and via email. This grant is almost one-fourth of our budget, and will enable us to bring in deserving students from all around the country to learn — for free — from debate's top minds.
To make an analogy, imagine getting to train with Rickson Gracie, the Mendes Brothers and Marcelo Garcia — as a teenager. For free. When you never thought anything like that was possible before. Imagine how much that would change your life.
Now imagine you could make that happen for someone else with a few clicks of the mouse.
Wouldn't you do it? Won't you?

Over the years, Deb and I have many times traveled to New Mexico to visit her mother; more often than not, we extend those visits into vacation "road trips" through the western United States. As we drive, we listen to audiobooks or talk about science and medicine (about which we have many theories and scant knowledge), politics (about which we are passionate and convinced that we have all the best ideas), and about the price of gasoline (a topic of particular interest to Deb). Several years ago, one of those road trips took us to Idaho to visit an old friend of mine. As we always try to do, we took as many back roads as possible, and at a certain point as we drove along one of those roads, we fell into a comfortable silence and simply enjoyed the extraordinary landscape that surrounded us. On one side were breathtaking mountains and on the other was a lush green valley dotted with sprawling ranches whose back pastures were bordered by more mountains. As I often do when we travel, I lost myself in fantasies of life in the homes I saw. What, I wondered, would it be like to wake each morning and see mountains outside your front and back windows? Where do the people living in those houses work? Where do they shop? What animals and/or vegetation do they raise on those ranches?
Suddenly, though, I was shaken from my daydreams by a scene right out of a B-movie. The mountain to our left was in motion; a huge swarm of red brown bugs marched slowly down its front and made its way toward the highway. The creatures flowed into the road where many had already met their demise; the road was so slick with brown ooze that Deb wondered aloud whether we might slide into a ditch if we attempted to drive over it. Even with what was obviously an extraordinary loss of their numbers to the local motorists who ran blithely over them, the army of bugs seemed as massive on the other side of the road as it did on the mountain itself, and I could see that they were headed directly for a home.
As soon as we arrived at my friend's house, we described the scene in some depth, both of us certain that she and her family would be as astonished as we had been. We were, however, surprised that their response was one of bored familiarity as they announced, "Oh, those are the Mormon crickets." Since that summer, my tendency to become intrigued by trivialities has motivated me to read quite a bit about Mormon crickets. I have learned that they always travel in swarms like the one we saw that day and that they devour all of the vegetation in their path as they move across the land. Of course, I have no idea what people who are familiar with these bugs experience as they see them marching toward their homes, but I imagine myself scurrying about in search of ways to eradicate the pests, or at the very least, create an impenetrable barrier between them and my front door.
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I have begun to believe that Mormon crickets are an apt metaphor for my experiences over the past few months as I have navigated a number of "medical life changes." I last wrote for this blog in September and at that time the surgery to implant my Intrathecal Baclofen pump was scheduled for late October. The day of my surgery I quelled my nervousness about "going under the knife" and presented myself in the same-day surgery department at a local hospital. After a flurry of activity that included the insertion of an IV, a blood draw for "typing" should I need a transfusion, and a number of other preparations, one of the surgeons who would be assisting with the procedure appeared at my bedside, lifted my gown to reveal my naked belly, and looked askance at a sore that festered there. Before he could even mark my body with his Sharpie, he left the room to phone the primary surgeon. Not long after that, she arrived at my bedside, examined the sore, and delivered the disappointing news that the surgery would have to be postponed.
That was the moment at which I began to learn about Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). I had, of course, heard of MRSA, but I thought of it as an extraordinarily rare infection that only afflicts people who have recently been hospitalized; I never once considered that I might acquire a MRSA infection, since I had not been hospitalized in years. I would learn, however, that MRSA is now more common than most people realize; while most cases of MRSA are still Hospital-Acquired (HA-MRSA), a growing percentage of cases fall into the category of Community-Acquired (CA-MRSA). My general practitioner said that the number of MRSA cases she treats in a year has increased manifold since she began practicing. The general surgeon who lanced the sores and collaborated with my general practitioner on treatment made a similar observation. In my case, the initial goal was to halt the MRSA outbreaks long enough to allow for the pump surgery and the post-surgical recovery period. An extended course of Clindamycin and Bactrim beat the MRSA "crickets" from my door long enough to achieve that goal, and by December, the infection was controlled enough to allow the surgery to go forward. After some discussion with the surgeon about where to locate the pump in order to avoid the sites where most of my MRSA outbreaks occur, I was cleared for a surgery that was—thankfully—uneventful.
The morning after the surgery (as soon as the anesthesia had worn off), I became aware of an excruciating pain in my left leg. I had heard from online friends who have had the surgery that they experienced very little pain afterward, so I began to wonder why the pain in my leg did not subside. To make a long story short, it seems that the catheter feeding baclofen from the pump into my spine was doing battle with one of my nerves. My understanding of the surgeon's explanation (refer to the above admission about scant medical knowledge) is that the kind of pain I experienced occurs when the catheter comes to rest on a nerve. In my imagination, the nerve and the catheter are engaged in a battle for a prime position in my spine. Mostly because of my own stubbornness, I've not done a particularly good job of beating back these painful "crickets." One of the common treatments for nerve pain is the drug Lyrica, and though I experienced relief from that medication, I was ultimately unwilling to accept its side effects, which for me included a general grogginess. In the end, I decided that I preferred the minimal relief of Ibuprofen to the grogginess I experienced with the more effective Lyrica.
At this point, the methodical process of calibrating the pump so that it functions at full capacity is underway, and I am in the capable hands of the nurse I have come to call The Goddess of all Things Pump. I am slowly becoming aware of pump's benefits and less dependent for spasticity relief on oral medications. Not surprisingly, the MRSA has returned and I have begun another extended (6 months!) regimen of combined Clindamycin and Bactrim. The crickets, though, refuse to keep their distance. Perhaps due to the process of adjusting the medication I have developed an inexplicable intermittent shortness of breath. Though my normal breathing is fine, I am unable to take deep breaths without careful concentration and sometimes not even then. The physician who oversees the control of my pump says that he has seen similar situations in the past and lowering my pump dose temporarily has provided some relief. Thus, I assume that this nasty swarm of crickets will at some point be a red brown stain on the road to a fully functioning baclofen pump.
If you are like me, you have since the end of the third paragraph of this post wondered how those nasty little bugs got their odd name. Here's what Professor Google has taught me: In 1848—the first spring after Brigham Young led the first band of Mormons into what is now Salt Lake City, Utah—the settlement's crops were threatened with total destruction when a swarm of these bugs (which are not actually crickets, but katydids—a distinction only an entomologist could love) descended upon them and threatened the crops on which they depended for survival. According to the diaries of many of the Mormon settlers, in June of 1848 a mass of gulls (which are native to the Salt Lake area) arrived en masse and began eating the crickets. According to the tale, the birds ate, drank water, regurgitated, and kept eating until the bugs were eradicated. Some historians express doubt about the story's accuracy; nonetheless, the myth has become known as the Miracle of the Gulls and it is an integral part of Utah's history, and a Seagull Monument memorializing the event stands in Salt Lake City's Temple Square, and the California gull is Utah's state bird.

Man beaten, robbed in anti-gay attack near SF State
Three men beat and robbed another man in an anti-gay hate crime near San Francisco State University early this morning (Wednesday, January 11), according to police.
Police said the incident occurred at about 2:10 a.m. at Font and Tapia streets.
According to Officer Carlos Manfredi, a San Francisco Police Department spokesman, the suspects pulled up next to the victim in their car and called him a faggot.
The three men got out of their car and punched the victim several times. One of the suspects took the victim's cell phone before fleeing with the other men.
The victim, 20, was treated at the scene. Police didn't list any specific injuries in their summary.
The suspects' car was described as a tan or cream-colored 4-door sedan.
All three suspects were described as 20 to 25 years old.
The first suspect is black, 5 feet 9 inches, and 140 pounds. He was wearing an olive, button-down, long-sleeve shirt with a crewneck undershirt, a beige bandana, and a thin goatee.
The second suspect is white, 5 feet 10 inches, and 150 pounds. He was wearing a baggy hoodie with baseball diamond print and baggy blue jean.
The third suspect is Hispanic, 5 feet 8 inches, and 160 pounds. He was wearing a tan shirt and baggy pants.
Manfredi said police don't know whether the victim is actually gay, and there don't appear to have been any witnesses.
Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to call the special investigations division at (415) 553-1133, the anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444, or text a tip to 847411 and type SFPD, then the message. The incident number is 120 027 766.

Albany journalism students tend to remember the assignments they get in Don Forst's reporting classes long after those classes end.
He sent a class once into a university parking lot for 90 minutes with instructions to write down every detail of what they saw and learned there.
Another time he assigned every student in a class to a tree on campus giving instructions that they learn its story and tell it compellingly
And one memorable time he stopped talking mid-lecture, gasped, clutched his chest and fell to the classroom floor. Except for one student Forst had forewarned, they all thought their professor, nearing 80, was suffering a heart attack and maybe dead. Then he leapt back to his feet and directed that they write his obit and turn it in by deadline a week away.
The students who researched that obit assignment found an extraordinary biography. Forst is an old-school journalist of the sort no longer seen and to be missed in these post-print days. In a career that began in 1950 he worked in that peripatetic way of reporters in search of better stories, more bylines, and a little more pay for the Burlington Free Press, The New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, New York Post, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, the Boston Herald American, the Newark Star-Ledger and the Houston Post. He rose to managing editor of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Newsday and then for nine years before he left in late 2005 was editor-in-chief of the New York City alternative paper, The Village Voice.
Instead of retiring to his 139-acre house with the big garden in Columbia County, Forst became editor in residence at UAlbany. "He can impart knowledge that no textbook contains," said the smart dean who hired him.
For all his Grade A resume and fat rolodex of media contacts, Forst is not the model teacher being sought these days to instruct future laborers in media. He's out of date, a dinosaur at a time when emphasis is on technological skills, social networking, digitized new form design and production. Forst isn't even fluent in e-mail. When a curriculum for journalism– even the purpose for having journalism education – is being debated, what is it that inky old-timers like Forst can teach?
Ask his students.
Emily Cody calls him one of her favorite professors in part because he demanded that students think quick and use their imagination and smarts. "He'd never have the assignments set," she said. "Every week it would come out of the blue." He'd see something on campus or on the news and their work for the next week would be coming up with something no one else had thought of.
When oil began leaking into the Gulf of Mexico he had students come up with a list of story ideas that should be pursued. He pushed for unconventional, wild-eyed ideas. Forst is, afterall, the editor who once asked the Voice's middle-aged dance critic to rank the 10 best backsides in the NBA for an article.
He teaches students about public records and backgrounding, she said. When ex Senate leader Joe Bruno was put on trial for corruption, Forst's students were assigned to compare the defense attorney and two prosecutors – without ever speaking to the three. When students surprise him and come back with information no professionals have found, he gets them interviews with people who have jobs to offer.
He teaches the power of detail. Cody said it killed her when the slight professor who speaks so softly it can be irksome for students in the back row asked in class one day if she was "going Goth on us." She realized that he had spotted her just-applied black nail polish among all the hands of all the students in that room. She also realized that was the kind of sharp observation he wanted from them in that parking lot. After twiddling their thumbs and muttering about the stupid assignment for a while, she said, she and classmates began writing down license numbers and interviewing parking lot attendants.
They began getting stories.
Student Eugenia Cole learned about connecting news to feelings from Forst after he sent her class into Capital District neighborhoods where Catholic churches were being shut down. He had them talk to people about what losing these institutions which students had paid little attention to meant to their lives. The students were surprised at the depth of emotion they found.
As student Trevor Alford describes it, Forst also teaches UAlbany's budding journalists about ethics, sometimes by negative example. "Every professor tells war stories," Alford said, "but he has some pretty outrageous ones."
In his day, when a grieving family wouldn't give up a picture of a child accident victim you threw a ladder up against the side of the house and took it. When your editor wanted a photo of a murdered cop's badge in focus, you went down your ladder into the grave; when the editor demanded to know what the inscription inside the wedding ring of the dead guy read, you tipped a mortician to find out. "Don't come back without it," was the motto of reporters sent out for stories in his day.
Students do not come away from Forst's classes thinking anything goes; they recognize that he is talking about the darker side of competitive newspapering, a now-unacceptable way of getting information. But they also know he's telling them to push hard to get your story, don't give up.
Forst brings celebrated journalists to Albany who demonstrate the best of the business. That includes Gail Collins, the New York Times editorial page editor; expert police reporter Leonard Levitt; Sydney Schanberg, the Pulitzer-Prize winning foreign correspondent who wrote The Killing Fields about Cambodia; and William Rashbaum the Times investigative reporter who broke the Spitzer scandal story.
But I think the best lesson Forst imparts is how much fun a life of stories can be. He reminds me of that every time I talk to him, whether it's about marriage to ex-wife Gael Greene, the food writer and tell-all author who once memorably slept with Elvis then ordered him an egg sandwich. ("She was a great woman, the gracious Forst says, "I couldn't cope with her fame.") Or about the three lessons he learned from his father (No. 1: Nothing is every said entirely in jest.)
Forst is teaching at UAlbany over the summer semester. He took his first lesson –on critical thinking — from the cover of the Summer Sessions Catalog. Look at the color photos – one shows the main fountain and the other shows two students (the man is black; the female is white or maybe Hispanic. There are Greek letters on his shirt and he's wearing a rubber bracelet; she has on a differently colored rubber bracelet and a tight blouse. He has a laptop, she a notebook and a French manicure). Now, figure out what university officials may be trying to tell you about their school.

Interstate Stalking Defendant Sentenced to Five Years in Prison
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 20, 2013
Brian Curtis Hile, a 30-year-old resident of Fremont, Michigan, was sentenced today to the statutory maximum of 60 months in custody for traveling across the country to San Diego to kill two people.
Hile was convicted after a jury trial in August of two counts of interstate stalking. According to court records, Hile traveled to San Diego from Michigan in August 2011 with the intent to kill a female victim and her live-in boyfriend.
Prior to traveling from Michigan to San Diego, Hile engaged in a romantic online relationship with someone he believed to be a woman. During the course of that online relationship, which spanned a couple of years, Hile exchanged romantic communications and explicit photographs.
However, when Hile learned that his online paramour was in fact a man residing in South Africa and that his romance was nothing more than a catfishing scheme, Hile became enraged and initiated what he termed "an investigation" to find the woman in the photographs.
As part of his investigation to identify his targets, Hile conducted an extensive search of the Internet, utilizing chat rooms and online gaming blogs to identify and locate the woman in the photographs. That woman is a resident of San Diego County, who years earlier had her online Photo Bucket account compromised, resulting in her photographs being disseminated over the Internet.
As a result of his diligent research efforts, Hile not only identified the woman in the photographs, but obtained personal information about her as well as her live-in boyfriend, the victims' family members, and friends. Hile was arrested in San Diego within miles of the victims' home, after admitting to a family member that he had already been to the victims' residence but the victims were not home at the time.
At the time of his arrest, Hile was in possession of the victims' address, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, telephone contacts, contact information for the victims' favorite restaurant, and the names and addresses for educational institutions that the victims had previously attended. Forensic evidence showed that Hile retrieved the victims' confidential information by hacking into the victims' e-mail accounts. Hile was also found in possession of duct tape, zip ties, and a to-do list that included additional supplies he needed to complete his plan to kill the two victims, including a trench coat, knife, and chloroform.
During the sentencing hearing, one of the victims informed the court that even after two years, she still has nightmares on a regular basis that someone is trying to kill her and that she is too afraid to put her name on anything for fear that Hile will find her and her family again.
U.S. District Judge Janis L. Sammartino pronounced the sentence of 60 months' custody followed by three years of supervised release and ordered Hile to stay away from the victims and the victims' families and friends.
United States Attorney Laura Duffy said, "Interstate stalkers who intend to harm members of our community will not be tolerated. We would like to thank the Federal Bureau of Investigation, El Cajon Police Department, and San Diego County Sheriff's Office for their investigation and support of the prosecution of this dangerous individual."
Criminal Case No. 12CR1687-JLS
Brian Curtis Hile 30 Fremont, Michigan
Summary of Charges
Interstate stalking, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2261A(1).
Investigating Agencies
- Federal Bureau of Investigation
- El Cajon Police Department

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's..a flying little person? When Liam Payne and Niall Horan hit up Miley Cyrus' 21st birthday bash at Beacher's Madhouse in Hollywood on Sunday, Nov. 24, the One Direction singers bonded with another European music sensation: Calvin Harris. In fact, the former even saved the world famous DJ from being hit by a flying little person.
"Big thank you to @Real_Liam_Payne for saving me from getting KO'd by a flying 'person of unusually short stature' tonight," Harris, 29, tweeted after leaving the star-studded event.
In addition to little people performers soaring through the air, Cyrus hired little people to recreate her now iconic MTV Video Music Awards performance. As previously reported by E! News, the night also featured a professional twerk team led by Amazon Ashley. Jeff Beacher and the "We Can't Stop" singer's BFF Cheyne Thomas presented the birthday girl with a $150,000 Swarovski-encrusted, gold-dipped three liter bottle of Beau Joie champagne and a custom cake topped with a nude doll made in Cyrus' image.
Family and friends—including Emma Roberts, Wiz Khalifa and Kelly Osbourne—sipped Cyrus-inspired cocktails made with Casamigos Ultra Premium Tequila.
Cyrus tweeted that she had the "best birthday night ever"—and we can see why!

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE)—It's the 1930s, buildings are laced in brick, there are tin ceilings and copper pipes and of course, prohibition is in full swing. Or at least that's the feeling Fort Wayne's famous Cosmos restaurant owners are hoping to bring with the new restaurant Hideout 125.
The name comes from the day the twenty-first amendment, which ended prohibition, was ratified, on December 5, 1933. It coincidentally is the birthday for a partner in the business, Brian Shreffler.
The steakhouse will serve classic cocktails in honor of the 1930s theme as well as craft beer and wine from wineries in the 1930s.
Shreffler said Hideout 125 is currently working on menu prices, but the restaurant does plan to keep the entrees affordable for the Fort Wayne market.
Shreffler said to look for the Chicken Pot Pie appetizer that has a specially topped crust with fried chicken skin and asparagus wrapped in prosciutto.
Hideout 125 is scheduled to open July 7 in the old Noodle Bowl location in the Pine Valley shopping center at 10350 Coldwater Road.

The driver of an impressive Bugatti Veyron has managed to crash his ride recently after pushing the throttle too hard and losing control of the wheel.
Supercar crashes have recently turned into hypercar crashes with this new incident coming from Grimmenstein, Austria. According to the guys at Wrecked Exotics, the Bugatti Veyron in question has crashed through a guardrail and fell 40 feet don and embankment, but it didn't flip over. However, the servicing bill will be gigantic considering the fact that the whole vehicle costs almost 2 million euros. Happily no one was injured in the incident.
Bugatti has been producing the Veyron since 2005, when the 16.4 arrived. Since 2009, the company is assembling the Grand Sport and one year later the Super Sport arrived. All models are produced in Molsheim, Alsace, France and they are offered in a 2-door coupe body style, for the 16.4 and Super Sport and in 2-door targa top for the Grand Sport. This is a longitudinal mid-engine permanent all-wheel drive car which currently holds the record for the fastest production car ever. The record is said to be shattered soon by the Koenigsegg One:1.

Zack Wozniak's soul bearing hiphop song was recorded at his home studio in November of 2007.
Production Notes
Zack Wozniak – MC
This is one of those songs that just comes out of nowhere. After laying down the piano and guitar the lyrics just seemed to grow from the drums.
I heard Brian's singing voice and knew it would give balance to my morbid lyrics.
He provided a soft finish on some rough edges. (boo' note: So gay!)
boo – Hook Ho
There's so much anger in this song, at times I worried that its darkness was too much but the softness and decay of the hook evens things out nicely. For the life of me I
couldn't remember the ten words I was supposed to sing and I fucked up continually.

Safety, oversight questioned after bus crash
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, April 30, 2009
The fatal crash of a tour bus in Monterey County has reinvigorated charges of lax federal oversight and a failure to implement safety measures on buses.
The California Highway Patrol has not determined the cause of Tuesday's crash, in which a charter bus carrying French tourists and their guide overturned on a Highway 101 overpass north of Soledad, authorities said. Five people, including the bus driver, were killed. Dozens were injured.
The Monterey County coroner identified the driver as John Egnew, 69, of Riverside County.
"It's unreal what's going on," said a woman who answered the phone at Egnew's home in Corona and identified herself as his daughter. "We're just trying to help my mom through this."

Her father had been a tour bus driver for years because "he loved his job," she said.
Egnew was ejected from the bus, plummeted from the overpass and landed near railroad tracks below, Monterey sheriff's Cmdr. Scott Ragan said.
Authorities were not releasing the names of the four tourists killed until families were notified, Ragan said.
The crash came a week after the National Transportation Safety Board called on the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration to take steps to ensure that bus passengers are protected from collisions by installing seat belts, strengthening bus roofs and installing recorders to monitor driver fatigue. A spokesman for the agency declined comment.
Federal safety regulators have failed to implement many of the recommendations for a decade, safety advocates say.
CHP accident investigators are looking into the cause of the crash, including the history of the driver, roadway conditions and the speed and condition of the bus that crashed.
The bus is part of a fleet owned by Orion Pacific in Orange. No one was available for comment Wednesday.
Orion Pacific was given a "satisfactory" rating in January 2007, and underwent 14 vehicle inspections and six driver inspections with no violations or crashes in the past two years, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
The 34 tourists were on a sightseeing trip that began April 19 in Los Angeles, authorities said. The group left San Francisco on Tuesday.
Survivors of the Soledad bus crash were receiving counseling through the local American Red Cross chapter.
"The folks are just horribly traumatized with what they went through and what they saw," said Laura Kershner, public support director for the chapter. "Most of them are in tears."

Men and women think and express themselves very differently. To win her back, you've probably tried sending flowers or swearing she's the only one for you. Guess what? Those tired ploys and devises won't work. Why? Because in trying to win her back, in trying to reconnect with her, you are not thinking outside the relationship box. You're going about this like a man. That's why you need to check out the site Reconnect Your Ex.com; the sociologically proven method was repairing and reconnecting with your former love.
The first reason that should push you to want to get back together with your ex is the fact that you yourself want to get back together. If you are unwilling, or if you even have doubts about it, then getting back with your ex is probably not the best thing for you to do. You will only end up breaking up once again. It is difficult to make a relationship work if you are not willing to make it work in the first place, so make sure that your heart is set on getting back together with your ex. If your ex is giving you signs that she wants to get back together, such as talking about your past relationship or wanting to go on dates with you still even after you're broken up, then that is an indication that your ex probably still wants to get back together with you.
Wanting to get back together relies not only on your decision, but also relies on your ex's, especially since it takes both of you to make the relationship work. If one party is not willing to get back together, then the entire process won't probably work. Getting back together with your ex requires that both of you need to be willing to resolve whatever issues you have in your relationship that caused you to have problems and break up. If you and your ex are expressing that you are both willing to sit down and talk and try to fix your issues and come up with a resolution for them, then that is a good indication that you might be able to successfully get back together.
Almost every person who has been in a relationship knows that it takes a few things to get somebody who broke up with you to want to get back together again. People can use a number of tricks and techniques to get their ex back into their life and back in a relationship, however, not all of these tricks work, and sometimes, can actually cause you to ruin your chances of getting back together.
Showing your ex that you are very eager to get back together can be an indication that you are becoming more desperate in your actions, and is a good repellant for a lot of exes. If you don't want to push your ex away, avoid being too eager to get back together by throwing yourself at him, or by simply trying to please him too much to the point that you are willing to do everything that your ex will ask of you, regardless if it's against your better judgment or not.
Being too friendly with an ex can be a problem, especially since you will always be harboring romantic feelings for your ex. By being too friendly with your ex will only expose you to some unwanted situations that you may not want to deal with while both of you are broken up. Keep in mind that normal rules that apply to couples don't apply to you anymore, so you might be caught in awkward moments that can lead you to do some ill-advised actions, such as acting like a jerk towards your ex's suitors. This will only put you in a bad light with your ex, and might actually ruin your chances to get back together. Forcing your ex to get jealous by dating another man or woman will not make your ex want to get back together with you, but rather, it can drive your ex away from you and into the arms of another.

Take Control of Podcasting on the Mac
Now in my tenth year of being a podcaster, it is by no means surprising that one of the topics I'm asked about over and over again is how to start podcasting. I always recommend starting off with the minimum essentials and then slowly building up your gear as you go along. In other words, don't make a huge investment in hardware and software initially. You can always upgrade and enhance your set up as you go along. This way, if you find it is something that isn't for you or perhaps you simply don't have the time you thought you would had when you first decided on doing it, you can stop without having invested too much money into it.

U.K. woman accused of faking son's cancer
A British woman is accused of not only convincing medical authorities her son had cancer, she convinced the boy and his sister, too.
The 36-year-old mother, who can't be named, allegedly claimed 100,000 pounds (about $160,000) in benefits by forging doctors' notes and school documents in order to make fraudulent medical claims, reports Britain's Daily Mail.
She is accused of shaving her son's head and eyebrows, and making him wear a bandanna to appear as though he was undergoing chemotherapy.
She is also accused of preventing the boy and his sister from participating in school activities, convincing them they were too ill.
The deception allegedly took place over three years, starting when the boy was five and his sister was three. They are nine and seven now.
The woman is charged with 11 counts of fraud, four counts of forgery and two counts of neglect of her son and daughter, according to the report.
She was released on bail Wednesday and is due back in court Dec. 2 in Gloucester, about 200 km west of London. She also faces related charges, for which she will appear in court next week.

Not long ago, former first lady Hillary Clinton announced that she would be running for president in the 2016 elections. Since then, she has been traveling the country campaigning, and she recently talked about how she hopes to find a solution for the substance abuse and mental health issues that have been plaguing the United States for years. While she was in Iowa and New Hampshire, she was repeatedly told that these issues must receive more attention because there is an epidemic.
After hearing of the growing problem with drug addiction, the Democratic presidential candidate discovered that the primary cause of overdose comes from opiates and prescription medications. Recent statistics have shown that more people die in America from prescription drug overdoses than both cocaine and heroin combined. Some of these prescription medications are opiates, like oxycodone, Vicodin and OxyContin, but many people are also overdosing from medications prescribed for anxiety and hyperactive disorders as well.
Aside from prescription medications, heroin is the opiate that's most used on the street because it's more potent and much cheaper to buy. Many people who become addicted to prescription opiates eventually can't afford to maintain their addiction, so they find that heroin gives them a better high for a much cheaper price. In 2012, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) released statistics that overdoses from heroin had doubled between the year 2010 and 2012.
Hillary states in one of her most recent speeches that many of America's problems are intertwined and can be traced back to problems with mental health and substance abuse. For example, mental health issues can lead to substance abuse problems, but the treatment for those who suffer from these issues is not sufficient. Many people who suffer from legitimate mental health and substance abuse problems are put in jail or prison rather than treated, and Clinton hopes to change this.
In a recent speech, Clinton stated, "I have to do everything I can in this campaign to raise it, to end the stigma against talking about it." She has found that many people are uneducated when it comes to problems with mental health and substance abuse and this is why so many people are in jail. Statistics have shown that an overwhelming percentage of the prison population is there as a result of a drug- or alcohol-related crime. These situations could have been that the person was under the influence at the time of the crime, were in possession of illegal substances or they were committing the crime in order to support their addiction.
She refers to the nation's problem with substance abuse as a "quiet epidemic" because so many people don't like to talk about it. When someone in a family is struggling with addiction, it can tear the family apart and often bring shame to all of those involved due to the lack of understanding. Although she understands there is a growing issue, she mentioned that the Affordable Care Act is commendable because it requires health insurance companies to provide treatment options for mental health and substance abuse problems. She does hope to reform the policies in regards to the bill if she is elected to office because she wants to make it national rather than local.
During her speech at the 18th annual David N. Dinkins Leadership and Public Policy Forum at Columbia University, she spoke about how there is a direct correlation between the riots in Baltimore and the lack of treatment for those with mental health and drug abuse problems. Those who suffer from these types of issues are much more likely to be arrested or live in poverty as a result. Her hope is to be able to provide more community-based treatment centers to help these types of people rather than putting them in jails or prisons.
She believes that by tackling the epidemic of substance abuse and mental health in America, there will be less poverty and less fatalities. Unlike the War on Drugs, Clinton believes that substance abuse is a mental health issue, so if she can help those who suffer from substance abuse problems, she will be able to help put an end to one of the biggest health issues in the world today.
