In a talk to the Christian Businessmen's Committee in Madison on November 13, 2009, Walker, who was raised by a Baptist preacher, spoke about his personal relationship with God, his "walk to Christ," and his belief in the need to "trust and obey" the Lord. He told the group that when he was thirteen, he committed himself to Jesus. "I said, 'Lord, I'm ready . . . not just in front of my Church and the world but most importantly at the foot of your Throne, I'm ready to follow you each and every day. . . . I have just full out there said, 'I'm going to trust in you Christ to tell me where to go. And to the best of my ability I'm going to obey where you lead me,' and that has made all the difference in the world to me, for good times and bad." Walker said that God has told him what to do every step of the way, including about what jobs to take, whom to marry, and when to run for governor.
Amen Amen Amen! Him and his "god" are tearing apart my state and my family! I live in Wisconsin and am out of work and STRUGGLING as a single mom! Here comes rich ole walker to take everything we are currently surviving on, away! He needs a swift kick in the head!
Amen to that just because you believe in god so much you really don't need to express it to an entire state, people will believe what they want. If anyone should be swayed by Scott Walker, then they are just as nuts as him. I live in Wisconsin, and I was upset when he won and I won't be happy until he is out!
You are so right!
Jesus was a "working class hero " himself, he was a carpenter who ate organic food!
hiding behind the message of Jesus like so many religious fanatics-scott w believes in Satan only,and it's time for these fools/worms to admit just that-they are Jesus haters.
great idea!
to bad these members of there religious cult couldnt have a koolaid party instead of a tea party.
This is why I left the church. People constantly going on about Jesus this and Jesus that, but when they have an opportunity to act like Jesus they never, ever do it. They only use the name of Jesus to condemn people. Fuck them.
He can claim to talk to Jesus all he wants, but he has no conscience. He was interviewed by one of the regional stations and had no remore, regret or even recognition of what he's done. He was a blank slate.
He's a scorpio with a scorpio moon. I looked him up.
Palin'kids have classic MK-Ultra names.
Track and Trigg, are names from some friggen Klondike story book.
If you live in America and support the concept of America, that means you live and party on top of Native American and African slave bones.
Are All Americans Mentally ill Because Of These Facts?
When a" Tsunami"hit America,
What Will This "American Tsunami" Mean for:
Gun Sales?
Gated Neighbor Hoods?
Will the racist be able to find his gun and Klan robe in all of the rubble?
or will it all float away into the ocean?
* and when I say "mental treatment" I mean that differently than just someone who is simply bipolar or depressed, etc. He knows what he is doing and he literally needs a mental intervention.
Being a Christian, I am sick of evangelicals. They need to mind their own fucking business. If someone wants to be a Christian they will in their own time and hopefully said person will not become an evangelical moron! I'm even more sick that they use God's name in combination with the words "Business Committee". Everything he is doing is against Jesus' example – I don't understand! Does he really believe he is doing God's work? Anybody who thinks God has "told" him "every step to make" needs to seek mental treatment.

Something about these lines from an LA Times op ed about the Chicago way of politicking bothered me.
That style is tough, focused, immune to any distractions but cosmetic niceties. And did we mention tough. A portly, veteran Chicago alderman once confided only about 40% jokingly, that he had taken up jogging to lose weight but quickly gave it up as boring because "you can't knock anyone down." That's politics the Chicago way.
It reminds me a little of those who speak of suicide bombers as martyrs. I see them rather as fanatics willing to kill innocents mercilessly in the name of their faith. Martyrs are the opposite. They are innocents willing be killed rather than abandon …continue reading
"I am seeing more and more how the human idea of mercy is protection from truth. True mercy [divine mercy] is an encounter with Truth—which is extremely painful."
That is very well put, Katie. it is an excellent point as well, that this is what purgatory is about. The truths about ourselves regarding our sins and weaknesses, the sufferings we were trying to escape by running away from these truths, will become our purification in the afterlife. We will have to face up to them and see them for what they are. The idols we failed to give up will have to be burnt away from us, and this will be painful.The difficulty there, of course, is that we can't take a break from this purification, which is something we can do here (and often do to the point of trying to run away from it completely).
Sep. 11 at 5:55am | See in context
Katie, I was thinking more of people who value relationships but want to claim absolute authority over how much they encroach on the self--like people who marry "as long as we both shall love" or a man who fathers a baby but reserves the right to ignore it from then on. They value relationships, but they don't grant that once you (validly) marry, from then on you are that person's spouse, or once you've procreated, you are a mother or father. It changes you ontologically. Who you are is not separate from who certain relationships have constituted you to be. Does that make sense?
Of course this is not to say that mothers may not work outside the home, or that annulmnets or separation or civil divorce may not be necessary. It's not to reduce the person to a certain, narrow understanding of what a wife or mother or father is supposed to be. It's not to deny the person's legitimate autonomy.

I love that Weil quote!
I remember feeling like I had crashed because I'd been "hydroplaning" through life. I wasn't getting any traction.

Thanks, Kate and Katie! You are right, Katie. One doesn't even realize that one is "unreal and earthbound", before one is being stripped. One thinks that a general wanting to do God's will and be holy (and even working hard at it) is enough to make this happen; but it isn't. Suffering has a way of anchoring one in reality that is hard to achieve otherwise. To quote approximately one of my favorite philosophers, Simone Weil: we live in a dream-world, lying to ourselves about our past, present and future; only great affliction, the close-encounter with extreme evil or sanctity pull one out of it.The question remains then whether we follow up on this or try to blend it out again by diverting ourselves. If one does not embrace the cross, then addictions appear or become stronger, and one easily becomes cynical and bitter.

One of the things that consoled me during the early days of my personal crisis was the discovery that Kant had gone through something similar, and that he held that virtually everyone does. He apparently thought that up until forty, no one has what can really be considered character. Character is what comes through the experience of our emptiness and the recognition of the need for us to take ourselves in hand and choose to live well.
Until then, we are too driven by illusions and situations. We don't know the real value (and disvalue) of things...
Sep. 4 at 7:35am | See in context
I love this post! It matches my experience. (I'm nearly 10 years into my own "midlife crisis.")
I think what I mainly sensed is that up until I was close to 40, I was operating under many illusions and still had "great expectations" for myself and my life. I had to be stripped of those in order to get real. It was extremely painful.
But, as you say, it opened space in my interior for true good, true growth, true personality, true contact with the divine, and new grounds for authentic, loving relationships with others—something I hadn't realized I was missing. I hadn't known my objectives were all wrong—unreal and earthbound.
This part resonates especially:
It is an illusion, of course, and only postpones ineffectually the recognition that the cross is unavoidable, though one might try to escape it until the end. We can spend our life deceiving ourselves, always setting up new objectives in the hope that the next thing will satisfy us.
Thank you, Marie!

Hey, no one likes a busybody. I like the idea of invitation. We shouldn't guilt people into coming to the feast; we just need them to know they are welcome and that the food is good.

Sep. 3 at 11:25am | See in context
You're right that too much emphasis on "unnecessary things" is hindering our witness.
Normal people—that is people who have grown up in the world, been wounded by the world, etc.—start feeling drawn to the Church, and find themselve bumping up against a depressing and alienating spirit of cultural conformism.
I think this is a major concern of the Pope's. Stop moralizing. Stop judging. Stop trying to manage the way other people live. Just invite them to Jesus and the Church. Let Him heal them.
Let Him heal us, too, including of our habits of moralizing and judging.
I'm pretty more women would choose to be fulltime homemakers and mothers if we could minimze the moral and ideological pressure and guilt surrounding the issue.
Someone linked an Onion story yesterday with a title "Study shows link between breast-feeding and always knowing what's right for everyone else."
I'm afraid something similar could be said about cultural conservatives generally.
In any case, conformism is radically de-personalizing and anti-personalistic. We're all about the uniqueness of the individual and the priority of the interior.

Greater St. Louis Area Council: Boy Scouts of America
I am honored to have this opportunity to tell you about the best Venturing event in the nation. It just so happens that it occurred at Beaumont Scout Reservation here in the Greater St. Louis Area Council. To start out the magical weekend, the "tri wizard cup" helped us select the 2012-13 VOA officers with more than 300 Venturers and Advisors at the council elections. You may be wondering why it was the "tri wizard cup" that helped choose. This 39th annual Fall Fun Rally was a whimsical Harry Potter-themed event with 1,326 people from all over the nation in attendance.
One of the really neat things about the Fall Fun Rally is that all the activities are youth-run. The council VOA along with the district VOA officers work throughout the year to help plan more than 100 events for the weekend. We made it especially hard this year because most events followed the Harry Potter theme. We had events such as Hypogriff riding -- a.k.a. horseback riding -- or a helicopter landing in Scoutcraft Field. We even had a group come out and set up a quiditch field. How would you like to run around with a broom between your legs while throwing a ball back and forth trying to score points for your house team? After a fun-filled day, we ended with the Yule ball and a good old cup of butterbeer (cream soda and butterscotch topping). The weekend included some very special guests. Our council's Dustin Readenour, National Venturing president, and Sarah Mittrucker, National Venturing vice president, were in attendance. Both were helping out wherever needed. We also had Lizzie Wisman, Central Region Venturing president, from Michigan in attendance. Robert Rescot, a past St. Louis and Central Region Venturing officer, joined us for a few hours at the event before heading to Barnes Jewish Hospital on Monday for brain surgery. He is doing fine and the tumor was fully removed and found to be benign. Emily Mausshardt, Central Region Area 3 Venturing president, led the Area 3 officers in coordinating and teaching many of the training sessions offered during the weekend. This included two Venturing Youth Protection Training sessions held in an effort to train all of our adult Advisors before the end of the year. The area officers also ran the Friday evening program of Harry Potter trivia in full English accents. On Saturday afternoon, 11 of the 15 districts elected new district VOA officers. I am really looking forward to working with each district to help increase the efficiency of their district over the course of the next year. Before I end, I want to take a brief moment and thank the board members for their support of the youth serving in positions within this council, because these are the building blocks the youth need to gain the courage and strength to run for positions outside of our council. Our council is the only council in the nation to have had two youth serve as the National Venturing president. This is because the Greater St. Louis Area Council is the best Venturing program in the nation! Our resources allow us to develop the leaders of tomorrow through your efforts for our council as a whole. Without you, we could never support the youth like we do in this council.I would like to thank you very much for inviting me to be here and I look forward to working with you all over the course of the next year!

GUANGZHOU, China (AP) -- Chinese champion Guangzhou Evergrande kicked off this year's Asian Champions League with a 3-0 win over 2007 winners Urawa Reds of Japan on Tuesday.
Paraguay striker Lucas Barrios scored in the 16th minute and Brazilian forward Muriqui doubled the lead in the 66th at Guangzhou Sport Center. An own-goal by Keita Suzuki in the first minute of stoppage time added the third.
Marcello Lippi's star-studded squad is aiming to bring the trophy to China for the first time.
In the other Group F game, 2006 champion Jeonbuk Motors of South Korea was held to a 2-2 draw with Thai club Muanthong United after an own-goal by Jeonbuk defender Jung Hyuk in the 88th.
An early penalty from Lee Dong-gook gave Jeonbuk a 1-0 lead before Mario Durovski equalized for the hosts in the last minute of the first half.
Substitute Kevin Oris appeared to have handed Jeonbuk all three points as the Belgian striker headed home with 14 minutes left only for Jung to turn a corner into his own net from close range with 90 seconds remaining in regulation.
At Seoul World Cup Stadium, Serbian striker Dejan Damjanovic and Yun Il-lok each scored a pair of goals to power FC Seoul to a 5-1 win over 2012 Chinese Super League runner-up Jiangsu Sainty in Group E.
Hamdi Salihi scored a late consolation for the visitors before Mauricio Molina wrapped up the scoring in the closing stages.
In Sendai, Japan, Thai club Buriram United scored a second-half equalizer in a 1-1 draw with J-League runner-up Vegalta Sendai in the group's other match.

CLARKSVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) -- Clarksville Community Schools are getting help from the state in paying for a school resource officer.
Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said a resource officer does more than help students deal with issues on campus like drugs and bullying.
"It reconnects a relationship between law enforcement, the criminal justice system, the part of the system that protects us all, with the students who develop a friendship with a school resource officer understand the role of law enforcement in our society, they befriend them in a way that helps eliminate some problems outside of the school," Zoeller said.
He was at Clarksville Middle School on Friday to announce the school getting a $50,000 grant from the state for the resource officer already working on campus.
The school had originally hired him using its own money.
In all, 116 Indiana schools are getting money to create or expand school resource officer programs.

Fabien Cousteau brings the excitement and mystery of ocean exploration to the classroom.
The 411: A trading post-turned-industrial city that overlooks the Hudson River, Peekskill has spent most of the past 20 years recovering from an economic downturn that struck the city when much of its manufacturing base eroded. A revitalization has seen new, higher-tech businesses take root in the city and the renovation of the historic districts and Victorian homes that are its trademark. Peekskill offers top-notch public education. Downtown Peekskill has become a haven for artists, with the development of the Peekskill Art Lofts, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, and the Peekskill Coffee House, while the Paramount Center for the Arts has become a destination for indie film patrons, in addition to being a venue for live entertainment, art exhibits, and educational programs. For outdoor lovers person, Peekskill boasts 11 parks that offer everything from swimming and tennis to hiking trails and playgrounds.

Hosted by Hot97′s supserstar DJ, Funk Master Flex, with a special hour-long set from him as the doors open at 8PM, this show will be an epic blend of EDM and Hip-Hop in what we can only hope is the first of many collaborations with this type of concert format. There's nobody in between Flex and the main event, A-Trak, the A$AP Mob and Pusha-T will be performing with each other throughout the FULL 3 Hour Set. This is the debut show for Vibe's new live entertainment division, "Vibe Presents" and it's guaranteed to be one of the most refreshing and widely discussed shows of the year, as all three artists will be performing and collaborating with each other live and on the spot in front of what I can only imagine will be a very rowdy crowd. Grab your tickets below, we hope to see everyone out there!

The 'Language of Values' in Politics
As part of Tikkun's Spiritual Activism Conference in Berkeley yesterday, UC Berkeley psychology professor George Lakoff spoke to the nearly 1,200 attendees about moral politics, spiritual beliefs, and some of the fundamental differences between right-wing and left-wing politics.
"Lots of people are partial progressives, and those are people that we can talk to," Lakoff told the conference. He continued:
"The way to talk to them is to find out what they share with you, that is, what the nurturing parts of their lives are. What's particularly interesting is communities. In the red states—I lived in the midwest for 4 1/2 years—one of the most striking things to me was Midwestern communities. They were nurturing communities. They were communities where they had leaders who cared about members of those communities, where people cared about each other, where there were projections of the nurturant family on the communities. And that's always a place to start conversations, if you want to talk about values."

The Valley man who lost a finger trying to steal copper wire is talking only to CBS 5 News about what happened earlier last month.
Last week, police said the piece of evidence Joshua Goverman left at the scene pointed right back at him. But he said his situation is very serious, though it doesn't justify what he did.
"Even if it was the wrong decision, I felt like I had to do something," Goverman said. The 29-year-old said his family has come upon hard times.
"My dad has COPD and congestive heart failure, he has a pacemaker defibrillator, my little brother is mentally handicapped," Goverman said. "I finally couldn't take it anymore, we had no food in the house, no toilet paper."
On top of that, Goverman is a convicted felon, so he said he hasn't found anyone who will hire him.
"We were driving by and I saw the wire and knew I could make a little bit of cash with that," Goverman said.
He said he grabbed the wire, hopped in the car, and told his friend to gun it. But the wire got caught, and Goverman said he felt his hand burning. He let go of it, but felt a pop, and looked down to see what happened.
"I was sweating profusely, every time my heart beat blood would squirt out of the tip of my finger," Goverman said.
Police got a print off Goverman's finger, and saw that he posted a picture of his hand on Facebook. Goverman said it was his way of making light of the situation.
But he said he would like to apologize to the person he tried to steal from.
"I'm sorry, it wasn't anything against you, I was just trying to help my family," Goverman said.
That poor decision not only cost Goverman his finger, but now it'll cost him 60 days in jail.

Ben Hill will be joining FOX Carolina as co-anchor of FOX Carolina Morning News on October 4! He and his wife, Holly, have arrived in South Carolina after moving from Tyler, TX.
Ben comes to us from FOX 51 in Tyler, TX, where he anchored FOX 51's morning show from 7a.m. – 9 a.m. Before that, Ben was the weekend anchor for KETK.
Ben is a native of Owensboro, KY and a graduate of Western Kentucky University. While in college, he completed internships with Good Morning America and NBC Nightly News.
Ben and his wife are excited to now call South Carolina home.
Ben sent frequent updates so FOX Carolina could follow the move for all of our fans on the FOX Carolina News Facebook page. The journey took a total of four days because they stopped along the way to visit with family. Ben even sent a video explaining a slight snag that they hit on the very first day! You can watch that video above.
Ben and his wife have a dog, named Ty. To learn more about Ben, click through the Hill family photos of Ben, Holly, Ty and Ben's parents in the slideshow to the left of this page.
We'll be learning a lot more about Ben in the weeks to come!

Heavy absentee voting could delay results
Local officials predict strong turnout at polls
The radio and television political attack ads, the annoying candidate robo calls and the bulk-mail campaign brochures are coming to an end today as predominantly Republican Lake Country voters march to the polls to cast ballots in what is expected to be a closely contested presidential campaign.
Local voters are also expected to re-elect a handful of state lawmakers and county officials, many of them running unopposed. They will also choose between former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson and Madison Democratic Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin in what is expected to be a tight race for the U.S. Senate.
Some Lake Country voters will get to vote for U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan twice: once for re-election as the congressman from the First District and again as Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate.
Voter turnout is expected to be heavy - as much as 90 percent or more in some Lake Country communities - but some local election officials were hesitant to predict how many would vote Tuesday because of the unusually high number of absentee ballots that have already been cast and the number of voters who registered during the statewide gubernatorial recall election.
Both parties - but particularly the GOP in Waukesha County - have been using automated phone calls, direct mail and radio advertising to urge their party faithful to vote early by casting absentee ballots either by mail or in person before election day.
State law reduced by a week and a day the time period in which voters could cast absentee ballots in person at municipal halls.
Oconomowoc City Clerk Diane Coenan predicted that 40 percent of the registered voters in the city would cast absentee ballots either in person or by mail.
"We have been too busy to count them all," she said of the number of voters who have come to City Hall to cast absentee ballots in person last week.
Hartland Village Clerk Connie Casper predicted that 30 percent of the village's registered voters would have cast absentee ballots by the end of last week and that turnout would be somewhere between 95 and 100 percent.
"The Village of Pewaukee has been pretty consistent. In president elections we have voter turnout in the low 90-percent. I would expect that, this year, maybe higher," said Deputy Clerk Paul Boenig.
Most Lake Country municipalities have hired additional trained election workers to help process and count the absentee ballots.
The ballots and the names of the voters who cast them were distributed to various polling places Monday by local election officials.
Absentee ballots received in the mail or cast in person are inserted into ballot-counting machines during regular voting hours, if election workers have time, or after the polls are closed.
Some municipal election officials were optimistic the absentee ballots could be counted during the day to avoid delays in tallying the vote after the polls closed.
But others warned that reporting vote totals could be later than usual this election because of the volume of absentee ballots that will have to be counted after the polls close at 8 p.m.
"I don't think you will be getting any results at 8:15," quipped Coenan.
Absentee ballots cast by mail and not received by election day can be counted as late as Friday, provided the ballots were postmarked by election day.
Republican voters in what the GOP refers to as its WOW counties (Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington) are expected to deliver huge pluralities for Romney to help offset the big margins Obama is expected to gain in Democratic strongholds in Madison and Milwaukee, while the Fox River Valley area might be the deciding battleground.
The latest Marquette University Poll last week showed Obama ahead by 8 percent. However, a national poll gave Obama only a 3-point edge.

Duke Divinity School presented Excellence in Religion Reporting awards to two journalists at the N.C. Press Association's annual awards ceremony on Feb. 11.
In the daily newspaper category, the winner was Yonat Shimron of The (Raleigh) News & Observer. Shimron has won the award seven times in the eight years since it was created.
The Divinity School's judge wrote of her work:
"(Shimron's) entries exhibit the reporter's ability to write beautiful, touching stories in a controlled style that never gets over-emotional or sappy. Her orphan's choir and cystic fibrosis stories are great examples of this. Another entry, on a rescued Torah, is reported and written so well it almost seems she accompanied the Torah to its home near Prague. Her stories all include appropriate context expertly woven into their fabrics. She is among the country's top religion reporters."
In the community newspaper category, the winner was Hilary Snow of The State Port Pilot.
The judge wrote:
"(Snow's) entries show her excellent eye for finding moving community stories. Her article 'Wake up and smell the gospel' is a delightful read about a church that turns into a free coffeehouse with live entertainment once a month. Another article, a slice-of-life piece on a pastor holding Sunday morning services at a movie theater, hit all the right notes in eight inches."
The Divinity School co-sponsors the awards with the N.C. Press Association [1]. For details, contact Jon Goldstein [2], 919-660-3416.

So far, newfangled Windows 8 hybrid devices are pretty pricey. Too pricey, according to IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell.
Sorry Steve, it's not post-PC, it's PC-plus, says IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell.
What's necessary to make the Ultrabook a hit and thereby match or beat the Air in popularity? IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell offers his take.
The rumored Surface Mini didn't see the light of day. But Microsoft has good reason not to release it.
The company is inching toward offering its Windows Phone operating system gratis in some markets. Does that portend big changes in Microsoft's strategy? A longtime Microsoft analyst weighs in.
The uptake of Windows 8 is hampered by a completely saturated U.S. PC market and corporate upgrades to Windows 7, says author of IDC study.
Windows tablets are shipping in numbers that barely registered in Intel's quarterly numbers.
Windows RT's woes notwithstanding, don't expect Microsoft to abandon tablets running on ARM chips.
Microsoft's stock is at levels not seen since 2000. Is this all because of the impending Office for iPad or is it because of a host of profound changes taking place at the software giant?
Ultrabooks will soon be 100 percent touch. And touch laptops made gains in August, NPD says.

Marine Facing Discharge after Disparaging the President on Facebook
I'm not familiar with the rules and regulations that Marine Corps Sergeants are required to adhere to regarding social media. With that being said, as much as I can't stand Obama and his administration, being the Commander in Chief of this country he is due a certain degree of respect by all people living in under his authority, especially members of the armed services. From what I understand about the military, respect is a big deal whether it be towards a peer or a superior. This sergeant deliberately undermined the authority of the Commander in Chief and regardless of whether or not his criticism was justified it should not have been voiced while this sergeant was still in authority over others who were ultimately under the authority of the man he was criticizing. He got what he deserved.

All through the month of January, The Loft celebrates the films of Alfred Hitchcock and the women who made them classics! They were daring and beautiful. They were sophisticated, smart, cool and dangerous. And most importantly, they were blondes … Hitchcock Blondes.
Click here to view the series schedule.
"Hitchcock's most liberated and poetic film, Marnie is a masterpiece of psychological mystery that encompasses all of the director's obsessions." - James Monaco, TV Guide's Movie Reviews
Marnie (Tippi Hedren) is a beautiful thief and compulsive liar who cannot stand to be touched by any man. When her wealthy boss Mark Rutland (Sean Connery) develops a strange erotic obsession with his mysteriously troubled employee, their highly unconventional relationship gradually evolves into full-fledged (but dangerously manipulative) love when he blackmails her in to marrying him under threat of revealing her crimes. Thus begins one of the most twisted courtships ever captured on film as Mark tries to "help" his reluctant new wife overcome the shocking secret from her past that has led her to become a damaged soul. Overlooked and misunderstood at the time of its release in 1964, Hitchcock's Marnie has since grown in stature to become regarded today as one of the director's most accomplished and unique films – a boldly unconventional psychological thriller that taps into a gusher of Hitchcockian obsessions, including the fear of suppressed female sexuality, false identities, childhood trauma, unhealthy relationships and the director's own fascination with cool blondes and "pure cinema." Featuring a riveting performance by The Birds star Tippi Hedren as perhaps the ultimate Hitchcock Blonde (with the director's personal off-screen obsession with Hedren fueling the oddly sadomasochistic tone of the film), Marnie is a strange trip into the mind of Alfred Hitchcock that cannot be easily forgotten. (Dir. by Alfred Hitchcock, 1964, USA, 130 mins., Not Rated) Digital

Teen depression is a serious illness. The benefits of getting help, including taking medications if needed, far outweigh the potential risks.
Depression is a mood disorder that involves a adolescent's body, mood, and thoughts. It can affect and disrupt eating, sleeping, or thinking patterns.
Manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, is a type of affective disorder that goes beyond the day's ordinary ups and downs. It is becoming an important health concern in this country.
The medical community once thought depression affected only adults. The risk for the condition begins in the early teens, however, and increases steadily through the mid-20s.

Third Annual Dagos at Dusty's on Groundhog Day Meetup! photo by djsime
It is that time of year again, to make a hastily arranged Tumblr meetup at Dusty's Bar in northeast Minneapolis.
In past years, about a dozen or so people have shown up each time, and it has been a blast. So, now that leaves the details…
What time is it at?
Some people may be there by six to secure some tables, but let's just say it "officially" starts at 7:00pm.
Do I need to be 21 to get into Dusty's?
No. You must be 21 to drink of course.
How will I know who the Tumblr people are at Dusty's when I walk in?
Excellent question. If you walk in by yourself or with a friend, and look lost while scanning the (small) bar, somebody is sure to slur "Hey, you do the Tumblr thing?". Just smile and stick out your hand to introduce yourself.
What if I have questions about the event, who would I ask?
If you have any questions, just send Paul an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Let's do this.

Lt. Christopher Vanghele of the Newtown Police Department was the keynote speaker at Thursday's 24th annual Victim Rights Conference.
The first responder told CBS 3 that he can see similarities between the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and the Boston Marathon bombings.
Vanghele was one of the first Newtown police officers on the scene during the Sandy Hook shootings last December. When he saw what happened in Boston just a week and a half ago, he could relate to what he saw on television.
"They said this during Boston, and I know this was true during Sandy Hook, when there is danger, the first responders are the ones that are running towards it," said Vanghele. "That is really their first instinct. They can overcome that 'fight or flight' and just go in and do what they need to do to help."
For many, overcoming that instinct to run away is not easy. Vanghele said it really comes down to the practice hours put in should a disaster occur.
"Training is a huge part of it, so that you are ready for the situation," Vanghele stated. "You are ready to know what to do and you are ready to understand how your body is normally going to react in a situation like this."
Vanghele said delivering a presentation on what he experienced is therapeutic, but more than that, he wants other first responders to be ready should they face similar circumstances.
"The reason we are doing it is so other professionals can learn from us," said Vanghele. "Hopefully if they are in the same situations, they can draw lessons from us that would help them."
Thursday's seminar was put on by the Hampden County District Attorney's Office and Baystate Continuing Education.

A special tool and pre-made plugs help speed up the process of screwing down and plugging PVC deck boards.
Some might call it an apocalypse, but engineers call it an "ember storm" - fire testing for real-world conditions.
The Make it Right Foundation is rebuilding rotting stairs and decks on about 30 of the homes built after Hurrican Katrina.
This Trex decking, which is part of the company's Select Composite system, mimics the natural graying of wood often seen on homes near the ocean.
NyloBoard composite decking contains recycled carpet fiber instead of sawdust
Wolf has added two tropical-hardwood colors to its PVC Deckboard collection.
Eastman Chemical Co. says its Perennial Wood is impervious to moisture and rot.
Q: What's a good way to set deck piers in shallow water?
Add safety without impeding views with Genovations glass railings.
Wolf says its PVC Decking offers the performance of premium PVC at a more affordable price.

The goal of the meeting — the third of three parents nights in the district during the week — was to explain Common Core language arts and mathematics standards, changes in testing and the timeline for districts to adopt the changes, according to Christina Orsi, who ran the three meetings.
Orsi, Jefferson's coordinator of curriculum, categorical and special projects, said the 2,440-student district wanted to reach out to parents and address concerns.
"We're trying to be proactive and communicate ahead of time," she said. "This is the first time as a district we put out the information face to face."
Common Core focuses on a student's critical thinking, not memorization and multiple-choice answers. Its objective is to make students ready for college or a career at the end of high school.
Common Core State Standards are being adopted by educators across the United States to achieve consistency in curriculum and testing.
The goal of the parent meetings was to connect with at least 5 percent of the families with children in the district, Orsi said. That goal was nearly met, with more than 100 parents attending events at Monticello and Jefferson schools and 50 at Traina.
During those meetings, Orsi worked hard to help the parents understand what Common Core will ask of students.
She had parents strategize ways their children could use critical thinking in everyday tasks. Among the suggestions were to help prepare recipes, to build models at home and to navigate in the car using a parent's smartphone.
Orsi even had parents work on a math question for fifth-graders.
"It was as interactive as we wanted it to be," she said. "We wanted to put them in the seats of the students."
Throughout the event, parents asked about how the tests would affect their children. A number questioned what Common Core would mean for the gifted and talented education programs.
Orsi acknowledged that the district had measured G.A.T.E. students' performance using the statewide Standardized Testing and Reporting exams, which are being replaced. She said scores won't be counted during the first year of Common Core curriculum and tests, so students will have an opportunity to adjust.
Orsi added that the topic would be discussed in detail at a meeting of the G.A.T.E. parents advisory committee Wednesday. She said the district is also planning morning meetings later in the month for stay-at-home parents.
After the meeting, a number of parents said they enjoyed the evening.
"I thought it was great, very informative," said Kellie Whitecotton, who has a son in first grade and a daughter in third at Traina. "I feel positive. It focuses on the core, and there's no one falling through the cracks."
"Based on what I learned so far, it seems pretty good," said Manikanda Krishna, who has a daughter in fifth grade at Hawkins School. "It was pretty informative."
Orsi was pleased by the response from parents.
"It's really good a lot of parents want their kids prepared for college and careers," she said. "I'm happy for the opportunity to talk to parents and address their misconceptions. It's a good opportunity to dispel those myths and, going forward, to give them good facts."

The BBA Judicial Internship provides law students with an opportunity to work directly with a judge and hone legal skills, while working towards the 50 hours pro bono requirement for the New York Bar.
If you're a law student or recent law school graduate who is looking to practice in New York, you've probably heard of the new pro bono requirement for bar applicants. If you haven't, here's the deal: the new requirement mandates that attorneys admitted to the New York Bar after January 1, 2015 must complete 50 hours of law-related pro bono work before filing their application (this includes those of you who took the July 2014 bar exam). Worried? Don't be, the BBA is here to help. We've got two programs that could help you get closer to the 50 hour requirement.
Lawyer for the Day in the Boston Housing Court: If you're 3:03 certified, you can volunteer to provide legal assistance to landlords and tenants on Thursday mornings at the Boston Housing Court. If you're looking to get involved soon, you're in luck! We have a training scheduled for Tuesday, October 28th at the BBA. Click here for more information.

The post Making Sense of the New NY Bar Pro Bono Requirement appeared first on Beyond the Billable.
U.S. Representative Niki Tsongas spoke with a group at the BBA about her work to combat military sexual trauma.
Attorneys gathered in the Claflin Center last night for an intimate discussion with Congresswoman Niki Tsongas on her work and commitment to combating military sexual trauma. Just in case you missed it, Beyond the Billable has the highlights for you. Rep. Tsongas serves as the top Democrat on the subcommittee for Oversight and Investigations on the House Armed Services Subcommittee. As the daughter of an Air Force Colonel, issues affecting military personnel are close to Rep. Tsongas's heart. She has been a champion in the fight against military sexual trauma—drafting legislation to combat the issue and to respond to the needs of victims.
Beyond the Billable checked in with Anna Richardson, the co-chair of the BBA Active Duty Military, Family Members & Veterans Committee and co-executive director of Veterans Legal Services, to hear her thoughts about the program. Here's what she had to say:
What should people who did not attend last night know about Rep. Tsongas's work on this important topic?
"Before Congresswoman Tsongas began tackling this issue, sexual assault in the military was often not viewed as the crime that it is. The Congresswoman's bipartisan efforts over the last seven years have helped to change that culture, create accountability, and hold our military to the high standard our service men and women are entitled to expect as they serve our country."
Why should attorneys come to the follow up panel in October?
"While Congresswoman Tsongas is working to address this issue at the national level, our panelists in October are facing it head-on to ensure individual veterans receive justice. They are working to meaningfully implement the systemic reforms Congresswoman Tsongas has spearheaded, and to create a culture of accountability by prosecuting perpetrators and advocating for survivors. Join us to learn about their impressive efforts and how you can help."
Do you want to learn what you can do to help combat sexual military trauma? Don't miss the upcoming program on October 22nd from 2-6 pm called "Responding to Military Sexual Trauma: What You Can Do." Click here to register.

Many people would rather gnaw their arm off than give a presentation. Add technology to the mix, and boy howdy, do a lot of people get scared—even seasoned presenters. Wayne Turmel's forthcoming book, 10 Steps to Successful Virtual Presentations, can help both new presenters and seasoned pros get over their fear of presenting virtually.
Why is virtual presenting so scary? Well, first off, there's the public speaking part, which makes many people very uncomfortable. But add to that the fact that so many people have been on the receiving end of bad web presentations, and that can have a seriously chilling effect on people's desire to present online. Moreover, a lot of people are not familiar with the benefits and tools that virtual presentations offer, so they don't know how effective and even fun web presentations can be.
Wayne Turmel dispels those fears and explains in clear and friendly terms how to plan and deliver great virtual presentations that get results. The 10 steps presented in the book are
Here are some of his pointers from Step 2, "Learn the Platform":
The book features lots more tips, tools, guidelines, and worksheets that will help you become a great virtual presenter fast. 10 Steps to Successful Virtual Presentations will be available for purchase at the ASTD store in December.

Learning by Doing
Kroto was part of a group of scientists who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1996 for their work in discovering the Buckminsterfullerene carbon molecule. The "Bucky" molecule is made up of 60 atoms and looks like a soccer ball. Kroto has been doing educational workshops around the world, to teach children about science, through activities such as constructing "buckyballs." He even did one in partnership with the famed Manchester United soccer team. You can find out more about his educational efforts and get resources at: www.vega.org.uk.
In his talk, Kroto mentioned that one of his first toys was a Meccano set (an engineering toy similar to an erector set) and that he built his first radio himself. Kroto says kids today have mobile phones but don't know what goes on inside of them or how they work. "I think we've disconnected our kids by the sheer fantastic technology," he says. A clip of Kroto's talk can be viewed on Oceanit's Web site at www.oceanit.com.

It's not just technology causing that disconnect. At a forum in October to unveil the "Hawaii Construction Workforce Action Plan," the Hawaii Carpenters Union's Taketa said the No. 1 problem in recruitment of qualified workers for the construction trades these days is the influx of Generation Y into workforce. He characterizes these young workers as self-confident and into instant gratification, partially due to parenting and a system that, in his words, "teaches to the test."
Taketa says kids are starting to discount careers in the construction trades as early as elementary school. He proposed a speakers bureau to talk to 5th and 6th graders twice a year about careers in the industry. The union also has free building kits it can make available to teachers.
While the Internet has made both parenting and educational resources more available, in the end, it still comes down to what happens in each child's home and classroom. These interactions create motivation and relevance, or the lack thereof.
