"Took you long enough." -- Russell Edgington
So they finally found Russell. Because no one thinks to search in the creepy asylum for a vampire seeking to be reborn.
Seriously, the asylum was like a low-rent haunted house run by high schools students. Dark corridors? Check. Rats? Check. Rats feeding on body parts? Check. Soon-to-be victims hanging on meat hooks? Check.
But yes, Russell is alive. And looking sort-of well. He's in good enough spirits to make genteel, witty quips. "What infernal racket you people have been making," he tells Sookie, Alcide, Bill and Eric when they discover him in bed.
After a few episodes of searching, the Big Russell Discovery seemed a bit anticlimatic. But welcome. I've missed Russell and his fun brand of evil shenanigans.
All it took was Bill and Eric recruiting Sookie to help with the search. Walking in on her and Alcide about to get down to business (yes, I just wrote "down to business." This is a family newspaper, after all), Bill and Eric informs her that they need her thoughts-reading powers to track down the owner of the parking garage where Russell was buried.
Sookie does her thing and sees the guys vision of being visited by a female Authority member (IDed by her necklace, but we can't see her face...dun dun dun) and being glamoured to help her move Russell to the asylum where he's been feeding and gaining strength. My money's on Salome as the ultimate "traitor." Anyone else?
The discovery couldn't have happened at a better time. The Authority was about to terminate Bill and Eric with that handy iStake app by dawn if they hadn't located Russell.
When they view him, Eric promises that "we came to finish what we started."
"Give it your best shot," Russell says.
And Eric's about to, baring his fangs and such, before there's a loud distracting noise and Alcide seems to turn into a werewolf and howl.
Clearly, the end of Russell won't happen for a new more episodes (if it happens at all), but I really hopes he sticks around because the rest of the subplots are lacking.
During the show, a friend of mine texted that there seems to be much potential in the whole Authority vs. Sanguinistas plot that has yet to materialize. I agree. First of all, the rebel Sanguinistas have a really cool name. Secondly, I want to see more of a straight-up mainstreamers vs. rebels battle.
I don't count Roman killing chancellor Drew as a battle. I also don't count his dramatic soliloquies as battles either.
TARA GONE WILD: Thankfully, we have fun Tara Getting Used to Vampire Life situations to occupy our time as a viewer. She appears at Fangtasia dressed as a mini-Pam: big hair, tight bustier, mean attitude, etc.
"If I wanted to look like a drag queen, I would have worn Lafayette's clothes," Tara tells Pam.
Sadly, Tara, the former surly bartender at Merlotte's, is now the new surly bartender at Fangtasia. Tara's life = still depressing even as a badass vamper.
Tara's first gig doesn't go well -- she succumbs to temptation and almost feeds on a patron before Pam puts a halt to that -- but she does have a new friend in Jessica ... for a moment.
One second, Jessica is sympathizing with Tara as a baby vamp. Later, she's discovering Tara feeding on ex-boyfriend Hoyt and getting into a bar fight at Fangtasia. I don't know who I'd put money on in a Tara-Jessica fight. Probably Tara.
SERIOUSLY ... A FIRE MONSTER: Just when you thought the Terry and Patrick subplot couldn't get more ridiculous and random ... this happened. Tied up as hostages in the creepy basement of their former comrade, Brian, the pair try to talk their way to freedom.

BOSTON (AP) - The operators of one of Boston's largest taxi companies have sued the developer of a smartphone app that allows users to request a cab or livery service, saying it is essentially an unlicensed car service.
A lawyer for Boston Cab Dispatch Inc. and EJT Management, which combined have about 500 taxi licenses under the Boston Cab brand, says the Uber Technologies Inc. app ignores virtually all government rules in place for cab companies.
In the suit, Boston cab operators said the private cars available through Uber are allowed to choose among their customers and destinations, unlike cabbies, prohibited from refusing to take fares based on age, disability, and location.
Uber had no comment on the lawsuit, but a manager tells The Boston Globe the company operates legally in Massachusetts.

The same thing they do every night: Thunder 82 – Bucks 81
Category: Recaps
The NBA revolves around, going in the post, pick and rolls, bringing people off of down screens and spot up shooting. That basically is everybody's offense, somewhere in there. And we're posting up, picking and rolling, we're spot up shooting and we're bringing shooters off screens. We've got to make pro plays. – Scott Skiles before Saturday's game.
Pro plays? Not happening, not right now, not for this Bucks team. Despite being without both Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled into the Bradley Center Saturday night and upended the Bucks 82-81.
Once again, Milwaukee's game played out like an episode of Pinky and the Brain. In this scenario, Milwaukee's defense is The Brain. In the same way that Brain is smart enough to come up with new and possibly successful plans to take over the world on a nightly basis, Milwaukee's defense is good enough to limit opposing teams to totals well below their season averages. The Thunder scored just 82 points and at no point looked like a winning NBA offense. For most teams, a defense like that wins them a lot of games.
Only the Bucks offense once again went all Pinky and screwed things up, blowing the plan to take over the world or, in this case, win a basketball game.
As far as numbers go, the usual suspects were at it again for the Bucks. Milwaukee shot 37.2% from the field and 16.7% (3-18) from three. Brandon Jennings was the only Bucks player to hit a three on the evening and appeared at times to be the only one capable of making anything positive happen on offense. And even with Jennings, he's generally creating for himself more than he is for others.
It's tough to determine where things are going wrong, but generally it doesn't seem like a good idea that Jennings often spends 10 seconds dribbling around trying to make something happen on offense for Milwaukee. I don't fault him though, he seems to be the only one capable of creating confusion for defenses or get to the rim. Other players on Milwaukee are getting into the paint, but getting to the rim has been an issue. Milwaukee made just 21 of 39 shots in the paint. When John Salmons or Luc Mbah a Moute or any other of the Bucks wings get into the paint, more often than not their falling away, twisting or doing something else to try and get their shot off in the paint. Milwaukee's wings seriously lack athleticism. That difference between the Thunder and the Bucks was on full display in the fourth quarter when both Russell Westbrook and James Harden attempted rim-rocking dunks over Andrew Bogut. It doesn't matter that neither of them made it and only one got a foul out of it, those are plays that no wing on the Bucks can even attempt. That's an issue right now.
- But Salmons has all sorts of issues right now. On offense, the ball starts in his hands a whole lot and so far, it's been very rare that that's been a good thing. I don't even feel like I can say he struggled to nine points on three of nine shooting; he just went about business as usual for him this season.
- Even though he's out of control sometimes, Gooden rebounded very well Saturday night. He hits the offensive glass better than any Buck I've had the pleasure of watching and that resulted in seven offensive rebounds Saturday. All told, Gooden grabbed 16 boards to match his 16 points on five of 13 shooting. His jumper may not have been there Saturday night, but his effort was.
If the Bucks could have just gotten out to Harden a couple more times, this may have been a win. Oklahoma City's second-year shooting-guard was six of eight on 3-pointers, but failed to make a shot inside the arc. Milwaukee does such a good job of helping off their men to cut off penetration, and occasionally that will leave shooters open. Harden was open a lot Saturday night and he made the Bucks pay.
- What's amazing is that, despite their offensive struggles, Milwaukee's defense continues to play at such a high level. Many teams would see their defense fall off a cliff if their offense struggled so much. It isn't unusual for a team to lose focus on this end when shots aren't falling on the other. Not these Bucks though. They held the Thunder to 37% shooting for the game and just 31.4% shooting in the second half. That's what winning teams do. Of course, winning teams also shoot above 40% often, which Milwaukee doesn't do.
- This isn't necessarily defense, but it was something. As previously mentioned, Durant did not play, but he did sit on the bench in a dapper looking suit coat. He wasn't always sitting though, sometimes he was standing and cheering on his teammates. Unsatisfied with his home team's efforts on the evening, a fan sitting nearby me yelled to Durant that if he wasn't in uniform he needed to sit down. This is a very common insult hurled towards players every night, typically without response. Durant took the bait though. He appeared to mouth "shut up" to the fan and proceeded to get up and cheer on his teammates with vigor every time something positive happened for them, often looking over at his antagonist in the crowd before returning to his seat. I hadn't seen such personality out of Durant before Saturday night, but I must say, I rather enjoyed it.
From 415
(Bucksketball contributor Brian Matzat is a proud season ticket holder. He'll be chiming in on home recaps with some words he heard in the crowd throughout the evening.)
I usually am really quiet following Bucks losses. Dejected tonight on my way out of the Bradley Center, I turned my attention to the rest of the fans leaving the game. I heard some guy rambling about how great Brewer games were so I had to hear what he'd say about the Bucks. His depressing verbatim response:
"It's too expensive, too cold, too inconvenient. Waste of my time."
Final Thoughts
The season goes on. As bad as the last couple games have been, we're still only 13 games deep into an 82 game season. The Bucks defense is good enough that as soon as they find any sort of rhythm offensively, the switch will flip and the Bucks will be a much better team than they are right now. While it feels like they are miles away, they really aren't. Coach Skiles has been adamant that the team isn't panicking and that the ship will be righted when everyone plays up to their talent level.
Every night, they'll keep trying to take over the world. Or at least play some good offensive basketball.

- Buck Hits: Weekend Woes, Gooden gets the green light | | November 22, 2010
Just a few thoughts from my warm, inexpensive and convenient home . . .
-Maggette was missing in action – not sure the back-story on that
-The Bucks had their chances – especially at the end – and didn't close
-There must be a 'behind closed doors' deal being made before some of the games where an unknown player from the other team is picked to have a career night . . . last night = Harden (OK, not unknown, but you get the idea)
-As you mention – the offensive woes continue
In general, I thought the Bucks turned the corner prior to the LA game. When the Lakers came to town, they set the Bucks back a few weeks. I hope they get their confidence back quickly . . . There is still some excitement in the air about this season. With one or two more games like the last few, that excitement will start to drop.
The fact that you worked Pinky & The Brain into this almost makes the loss worthwhile.
Agreed with ZV, awesome reference. And extremely apt somehow.
Pinky was the genius, and Brain was the insane one- I know it seems that Pinky is stupid, but every episode he would actually make things right (mostly on accident). Needless to say- this show was a staple of my childhood.
I think it's time for a bucksketball side-blog to discuss Pinky and the Brains' effect on modern society and how it relates to basketball, specifically in Milwaukee…

In the wake of Newtown, many of you are sending me links to a moving essay by a mother whose adolescent son has violent and unexplained episodes. I added a link and excerpt earlier today, but decided to devote an entry to the essay due to the interest.
I am sharing another excerpt but go to the source and read the full piece. In the essay, the blogger discusses her challenges dealing with her 13-year-old son who is easily and quickly enraged. She does not want him in the prison system, which, she says, is where many mentally ill young men end up. But she worries that he could become a danger to society someday.
She writes:
I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza's mother. I am Dylan Klebold's and Eric Harris's mother. I am James Holmes's mother. I am Jared Loughner's mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho's mother. And these boys—and their mothers—need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it's easy to talk about guns. But it's time to talk about mental illness.
According to Mother Jones, since 1982, 61 mass murders involving firearms have occurred throughout the country. Of these, 43 of the killers were white males, and only one was a woman. Mother Jones focused on whether the killers obtained their guns legally (most did). But this highly visible sign of mental illness should lead us to consider how many people in the U.S. live in fear, like I do.
Several friends who have sent me this piece present it as evidence of the need for mental health services, but the child in the essay has received services.
What he hasn't received is a diagnosis. So, I'm uncertain how schools should respond or what else the community can do. We clearly need more mental health services for families who cannot afford them, but Adam Lanza came from a family of means and apparently had access to a full range of health services.
It is interesting to note how many of these mass murders are white males and, who, despite their mental illness, live in households where weapons were accessible. Even if their families never suspected that they would kill innocent people with family guns, didn't they worry about them killing themselves? In my own experience with writing about mentally ill children, the more common threat is that they will hurt themselves rather than hurt others.
Here is the excerpt of the entry by Anarchist Soccer Mom:
I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me.
A few weeks ago, Michael pulled a knife and threatened to kill me and then himself after I asked him to return his overdue library books. His 7 and 9 year old siblings knew the safety plan—they ran to the car and locked the doors before I even asked them to. I managed to get the knife from Michael, then methodically collected all the sharp objects in the house into a single Tupperware container that now travels with me. Through it all, he continued to scream insults at me and threaten to kill or hurt me.
That conflict ended with three burly police officers and a paramedic wrestling my son onto a gurney for an expensive ambulance ride to the local emergency room. The mental hospital didn't have any beds that day, and Michael calmed down nicely in the ER, so they sent us home with a prescription for Zyprexa and a follow-up visit with a local pediatric psychiatrist.
We still don't know what's wrong with Michael. Autism spectrum, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant or Intermittent Explosive Disorder have all been tossed around at various meetings with probation officers and social workers and counselors and teachers and school administrators. He's been on a slew of antipsychotic and mood altering pharmaceuticals, a Russian novel of behavioral plans. Nothing seems to work.

I had an older brother who committed suicide while I was in college. He was also a genius with schizophrenia, and my experiences with the issue were similar to the article
ie….. A few weeks ago, Michael pulled a knife and threatened to kill me and then himself after I asked him to return his overdue library books. His 7 and 9 year old siblings knew the safety plan—they ran to the car and locked the doors before I even asked them to. I managed to get the knife from Michael, then methodically collected all the sharp objects in the house into a single Tupperware container that now travels with me. Through it all, he continued to scream insults at me and threaten to kill or hurt me…..
The biggest issue in my opinion is society lack of treatment for mental health over incarceration and a toughen up attitude over treatment from parents……We would never do this with a broken leg……..Until we re-focus our assets toward treatment being acceptable and re focus our money toward this over the failed war on drugs approach to mental health issues, we will not see any real change. Every time I hear about this happening I have the exact same feelings
ie ……………I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza's mother. I am Dylan Klebold's and Eric Harris's mother. I am James Holmes's mother. I am Jared Loughner's mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho's mother. And these boys—and their mothers—need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it's easy to talk about guns. But it's time to talk about mental illness………………..

This one has been making the rounds quite a bit since at least yesterday, so I've read the whole thing a couple of times.
What strikes me is that I'm not at all sure that even the author is prepared for where an honest discussion would lead. The primary concern for the majority of people is how to protect themselves & their loved ones from the severely mentally/emotionally disturbed. The best ways to do that are pre-emptive (instead of the reactive system we have now) but in a culture where "Born This Way" is celebrated as a musical triumph with significant social meaning I believe it's a pretty safe bet that those measures aren't going to go over very well in some quarters either. This is a significant case of "be careful what you wish for, you might just get it".
While I sympathize with the essayist's plaintive cry for help & might take it closer to face value, quite a few of the calls for "talk" about mental illness seem more along the lines "let us tell you what you're supposed to think". That's not a discussion, that's a p.r. campaign at best.

This will never change until we change our culture… which means it will never change. Maybe when we stop pushing people down and marginalizing them this type of thing will subside. I'm not condoning the actions, whatsoever. I'm merely suggesting that everyone has a snapping point if you push them hard enough. Pushing the buttons of someone who is mentally unstable only worsens the situation.

This would be a topic more suited to psychiatrists than parents and teachers. I know one thing, the severely mentally ill have no place in mainstream public schools. Try to explain to the families who lost loved ones at Sandy Hook Elementary about the rights of the mentally ill. Go ahead and tell them that Adam Lanza's rights not to seek treatment or to enroll in his public school are more important than their loved ones' lives. It might not be politically incorrect, but I am going to be watching those students whom I know have mental health issues very closely. Unfortunately, the students don't have access to that information.

I'd wager that all of these young men have some of these things in common: Divorced parents (or parents with a dysfunctional marriage), addiction to video games, addiction to porn, lack of time in church.

I wonder how many of these mentally ill children, in the above illustration and the ones who have proceeded to commit the murders of innocents, had a father in the home.
Teenage boys inherently will challenge the maternal figure, however, if "the ole man" is around then "the issue" is usually resolved and that rather quickly. Perhaps these young men blame their moms for the dads abscence which soon could turn to resentment towards Mom then society etc.
Just a thought…
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming…

"She does not want him in either the prison system or a hospital for the mentally ill, but worries that he could become a danger to society someday."
I am sure that is exactly what Adam Lanza's mother said. She also most likely let him indulge in violent video games to excess. It is reported that she took her sons practicing with weapons. Shw owned a very powerful assault rifle and apparently did not adequately secure it even though she knew her youngest son was "troubled".

These young men are let down by the school systems as well as the parents. I once had a kindergartener that was extremely violent,hitting students and teachers, tried to stab students with scissors,refused to follow any request from adults, called me ugly names daily, would make animals noises, the list is to long for me to finish. The bottom line was nothing was done for him!! He remained in the room all year with the other students and myself having to put up with this behavior every day all day long. I cannot imagin the violence this child will do as he is older. He should have been placed in a learning enviroment that would help him learn how to deal with the issues, instead of just being pushed from one grade to the next.

Maude, that's the same thing I see as a SPED teacher. We have some very disturbed kids just thrust into General Education classes because "high school has no EBD self-contained room". With the budget cuts we have faced this year these kids are left to fester. They disrupt their own learning but more importantly the education of their peers. The amount of data and paper work required to correctly place these kids is not unlike what Principals must do to fire inept teachers…a lot of people are unwilling to do the work, instead just "passing the trash" <—-NOT my attitude but I have heard this before. What we end up with is bigger, stronger, and more dangerous young adults who have never gotten the help they need.

I just want to point out a small error. Maureen, you were correct in saying the mother does not want her child in prison. But she DOES want him treated in a mental hospital as a mental health patient. When her threatened her with a knife, she did her best to get him transported to a mental health facility. She kept her head during the crisis and managed to summon an an ambulance. Unfortunately, no bed was available for him at the mental hospital, so the ambulance took the boy to the only other place they could: the ER. The ER did what they could, but without the option of sending him to a mental hospital, they couldn't do much. So they discharged back to his home — back into the care of the very person he had threatened to kill just hours earlier, and into the company of his vulnerable younger siblings. The next time her son threatened violence (suicide), she drove him straight to the mental hospital herself, flagged down a clinician and instructed that person to summon the police. That time she succeeded in getting him admitted. The mother clearly DOES want her son to be treated in a mental health facility. And that's clearly the type of facility and treatment he needs. The mother is right to seek it and demand it. She's fortunate that she has health care coverage. But even a clear-eyed parent with good health care coverage rarely manages to get in-patient treatment for an adolescent with severe mental illness. That's not because the parent doesn't WANT it. It's because the mental healthcare system is in shambles. Services that are desperately needed are no longer available. That's a problem that must be reversed!
December 17th, 2012
12:41 pm
I understand you don't want your child incarcerated or hospitalized. If your child is dangerous, then he needs to be in a facility where he can be treated and your family can have some semblance of a normal life. It's not wrong to want that. It's better than having your child commit suicide, or worse, suicide by cop and have many other lives damaged because you didn't want your child to be stigmatized.

Thank you, Maureen, for highlighting the need for mental illness awareness, especially as related to acts of violence. Education of the public, regarding mental illness and mental health, is key to improving this national problem.
Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia about Rosalynn Carter's advocacy for mental health. I am posting it in the hope that others (especially journalists) will join in her advocacy of this still inadequately addressed problem.
"She created and serves as the chair of The Carter Center Mental Health Task Force, an advisory board of experts, consumers, and advocates promoting positive change in the mental health field. She hosts the annual Rosalynn Carter Symposium on Mental Health Policy, bringing together nationwide leaders in the mental health field.
In April 1984, Carter became an Honorary Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and serves as a board member emeritus of the National Mental Health Association.
The Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism provide stipends to journalists to report on topics related to mental health or mental illnesses. The one-year fellowship seeks to promote public awareness of mental health issues, as well as to erase the stigma associated with them.[7]
In 2007, Carter joined with David Wellstone, son of the late U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone, to push Congress to pass legislation regarding mental health insurance.[8] Wellstone and Carter are working to pass the 'Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act' which would require equal coverage of mental and physical illnesses when policies include both types of coverage; both testified before a House subcommittee regarding the bill in July 2007.[8]
Legislation requiring parity in health insurance coverage for treatment of mental illnesses was ultimately passed and signed into law in October 2008.[9] "

Tragically society turns to the modern psychiatric industry for help and they clearly are failing in their abilities. Worse still, their "solutions" may in fact be the root cause.
You owe it to your self to watch this informative video about the psychotropic drugs millions of americans are taking every day and the "side effects" we are all having to face.

@ Mountain Man & Looking for the truth: The mother in the blogpost (Liza Long) DID want her child to be hospitalized. She and many, many other parents of mentally ill children are trying hard to get their children into treatment facilities. They know that their children need treatment, and they are desperately trying to get it. But it's not available. Mental health facilities have been shut down. Children, adolescents, & young adults are routinely turned away from the ones that are left because there are no beds or there are more severe crises that are at the front of the line. If a mentally ill person does get admitted, they don't stay long enough to get really stabilized and transferred into a longer term facility. They just get discharged back to their homes, back to their families who have no protection from them. It's a story that I've heard over and over in support groups and have experienced firsthand. So don't blame the mom who blogged about her son. She's NOT the problem. She sees clearly what the problem is. And she said it clearly in her blog. Please read what the mother actually wrote instead of quoting what Maureen erroneously wrote about her.

Young males are the prime target for the greatest violence industry in our society – the military. Since we no longer defend this country, but rather work to expand the global empire, a special kind of hatred must be exploited by the military machine and its enablers in the media. This certainly cannot help the situation we face as a society. I wonder if these same kinds of incidents became commonplace as the Roman Empire collapsed?

one thing which will help is noting the high rate of violent crimes -not gun related, but violent- committed by mentally ill women.
I realize the current PC script is that men are the doers of all violence, but that crap just ain't true.
if the blog can be reoriented to dealing with violence and the mentally ill, get back to me

We have a generation of children who think that violence is the way to solve their ills. There are areas in this country where children have to run through sniper alley to get to and from school every day. I pray to God that people realize that there are thousands of young people, black and white, who have grown up to be adolescents and adults desensitized and society needs to step up and finally DO something. Yes, many have mental health issues, but many more have been conditioned to violence. We can no longer watch the news and turn away because it just another kid in SW Atlanta or whichever urban neighborhood that got shot. We can't outrun it, and we can't hide from it.

There's an excellent column on CNN News, http://www.cnn.com, right now: "The Warning Signs Were There," by Katherine Newman, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins and author of the 2004 book, "Rampage: Social Roots of School Shootings." She interviewed such shooters extensively, and concluded that there were definite warning signs beforehand. Btw, she noted that all but one of the 41 she interviewed were white adolescent males.

So, according to the data supplied, 71% of the mass murders in the US since 1982 were committed by white males.
According to the 2011 census, today 78% of the US population is white.
Race is a non-issue then! Why are we trying to make it one?

Unfortunately, all EFFECTIVE solutions (or semi-solutions) will run up against a wall of constutionality. Four pronged effort:
1. Nationwide initiative on MENTAL HEALTH in which the priority is protecting the public.
2. Ban automatic/semi-automatic weapons. Buy them up. Ban on all guns would be impossible. Too many out there. Plus home defense and hunting are legitimate use. NOBODY needs an AK-47.
3. Harden schools as targets. This is of limited value unless you want schools to be fortresses. A single armed guard wouldn't help much if buildings remain as they are.
4. NEVER announce a suspect's name. Take away their fantasies of infamy by letting them know that they will die in obscurity.

The reality is simple, you can spend the money putting the mentally ill in jail and or prison or treat them. Not only is treatment less expensive it is the right thing to do. Also society itself must be open to treating the people with mental health issues like and other illness verse turning a blind eye, pretending it is not a problem, embarrassed by the situation…… Talk to anyone in the system, they will tell our legal system is a dumping ground for mental health issues. We can blow our money on the failed "War on Drugs" or promote mental health treatment and or pay for people who cannot afford it.
………The number of incarcerated men and women with severe mental illness
has grown so tremendously in the last few decades that prisons may now
be the largest mental health providers in the United States. Yet U.S. prisons
are not designed or equipped for mentally ill prisoners……

The homeless, as well as prisoners, are often victims of mental illness. We must address mental illness more forthrighly, as an aware, concerned nation.

Get rid of the guns. Angry, violent men kill over and again with guns. Until we no longer have angry, violent, ment, we shouldn't allow anyone to have a gun.
Go ahead and treat the mentally ill. Until you cure all mental illness and can prevent men from becoming violent, get rid of the guns.

We need to stop the main streaming and we need to segregate class rooms by ability, Ability is both mental apptitude and abilility to socialize. When I was in middle school back in 1972 or so when the Who's Rock Opera Tommy was out and popular. About the deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard, in the days before video games. We ironically, had a kid in either my 7th or 8th grade classes who I know realize had Asberger's syndrome. No one was mainstreamed back then, but I guess Tommy's parents wanted him to be. Because all of a sudden he appeared. He would hug the walls as he walked between classes. Of course, everyone would sing the Song, Tommy to him as he did this. But then in my Social Studies class one day he stabbed the Social Studies teacher, with a pencil who we all at the time was an old lady ( she was probably in her mid 50's). He was gone and never came back.
Then 18 1/2 years ago my cousin's son who was only 23 was stabbed to death by his 18 year old girlfriend Heather. She tried to plant the knife in his left hand and say he stabbed himself, but she put it in his left hand. The DA found out that she had been kicked out of high school for stabbing a teacher with a pencil. But this could not be used against her because she was a minor. My cousin found a diary when she was cleaning out the apartment, where her son Kyle lived with this girl. In the diary, the girl Heather referred to herself in 3 different names and wrote in 3 different voices. In one of them she calmly wrote and dated it, " I cut Kyle today, no one was going to leave me again ". Even though the DA at that point had only charged her with 2nd degree murder and her father had hired one of the top defence attorneys, I told my cousin not to turn it over to the DA. Otherwise, she would get off with just going to a mental hospital for a short time. In the end, because Daddy hired a top Defense attorney, she pleaded guilty to Manslaugter for 7-25 years. The judge only gave her 5-7 years in Upstate NY. She was out in only 4 years, although NY has only 1 women's Prison Wende. She was out by 22. My family, all knows she will kill again. After, all she had the gall to send my cousin Christmas cards from prison. She also broke into her house while she was out on bail and ate a bowl of cereal and left it out as a calling card. The first and only time I ever met this Heather, I could see in her eyes that she was dead inside. You could see that there was something off with her.

I see this as partially a "Generation Y" problem.. I see it as a "boy" problem. I have 3 sons — 1 is almost 21. Thank G-d, none have wound up needing ADD or ADHD meds. Thank G-d, we're a stable family. Let me tell you some things I've observed as a parent of boys over 21 years — I've posted some before and have been ranting about them again since Friday. (1) Denver; Newtown; Gabby Giffords — the shooters are all in their 20s. They all appear to lack coping skills for life; (2) when my boys were young, they played on way too many sports teams where you couldn't keep score — there couldn't be losers — everyone had to win. Everyone got trophys. I thought this was awful — learning how to win gracefully is an important life skill — parents can control a lot when kids are small but not when they're big. I couldn't make the travel baseball team take my son; I couldn't make Wharton take my child (well, the parents with the millions could but not me); I can't make the girl say yes to the prom; I can't make the employer hire my child; the parent can't make the committee approve the PhD at a certain point — at some point the kid reaches some level and there is going to be a 'fail" and the kid needs coping skills and if they haven't experienced some loss (for our family, the biggest was a dog run over by a car… I don't recommend it) — they don't have anything internally to help them cope with the present glitch. It can become suicidal — it can become homicidal. (3) We, as a society, have tried much too hard to turn our boys into girls — we want our boys acting like girls in school — when the boys don't sit still and read and write quietly — the teachers turn them in for medicine for ADD & ADHD — it's much easier this way (I know, some kids really do need these meds) — we are at a point where over 70% of the male children in our population are medicated — but once they get to age 18 the adults in their lives (parents, or teachers or coaches) no longer have the right to medicate them — so off to college they go — their bodies are used to the drugs — they are used to their parents being in charge of the dosing — they aren't used to being responsible themselves — they sometimes just forget — sometimes they deliberately forget — the colleges, because of HIPPA, aren't allowed to communicate with the parents — theire's a "disconnect" and things go wrong — at Emory a few years back it wound up in a dead swimmer practicing for varsity swimming… perhaps one of these cases we're talking about wouldn't have happened if the meds had been property dosed (I'm guessing here) — but I do think I know that when I was a child not so many boys were on these meds at alll– they had to learn actual coping skills so they had to control themselves… maybe that would have prevented some of this too… I don't know, I'm guessing at this too but it seems to me that there is probably a correlation here between the high numbers of boys on such meds and the increase in this generation of these incidents; (4) what about those mental institiutions that Reagan took down? Can't we put them back up? Many of those in jail; many of hte homeless and many of these people really need to be housed in places like that and we need to be more realistic as a society about "mainstreaming" or not. Some random thoughts. So sad. Heartbreaking and we don't even know why he entered the school……

I would guess that any parent with a child like this, as the mother in the blog, can pretty accurately identify their child as a future danger to others. So, regardless of whether a diagnostic category exists into which the child can be pigeonholed, the parent knows there is a serious problem. What is lacking is a program to receive such children and treat them, particularly since getting someone out of the loop of a family dynamic is often the first step to stability. Probably a day program, part school and part mental therapy, for urban children. Probably a residential program for rural kids who would have to commute too far. Repeat: the parents are identifying these children. But they are probably not the ones who can actually help them.

Mental Illness exists and pretending it isn't there won't make it go away. It has to be dealt with in a humane, moral way.
December 26th, 2012
12:35 pm
Stigma — I just want to put in my 2 cents about this. I think everyone should be in favor of reducing the stigma associated with mental illness. Stigma is a primary reason why people who recognize their own symptoms choose NOT to seek treatment. If they seek treatment at all, they may seek a diagnosis that will get them some minimal treatment with less stigma rather than an "unacceptable" diagnosis of one of the major mental illnesses. With less stigma and more encouragement to get treatment, patients will be more forthcoming in reporting their symptoms, diagnoses will be more accurate, symptoms will be better treated, oversight & re-evaluation will be more consistent, and we'll all be better off & SAFER as a result.
My point is: ALL will benefit if we remove obstacles that prevent the ill person from getting effective treatment. Stigma is one of the big obstacles, and it's one we all can do something about. It doesn't take legislation or programs; it takes educating ourselves and reaching out to friends & neighbors who are struggling to take care of a "difficult" loved one. It takes a little courage, yes, but if you have the luxury of choosing whether to help a mentally ill person, you are fortunate. Just imagine the courage that those families have to muster every single day; they didn't get to choose whether to deal with the mental illness that popped up in their midst.

12-Year Sentence for U.S. Journalists in North Korea
Two American journalists held in North Korea since March 17 were sentenced June 8 to 12 years each in a labor camp.
Euna Lee and Laura Ling, reporters for San Francisco-based Current TV, were pursuing a story about refugees fleeing North Korea when they were arrested near the border with China. They were convicted of "grave crimes" and entering North Korea illegally, though some reports said they were arrested in China.
The sentence was the latest provocative move by North Korea, which in the past two months has launched a long-range missile, tested an underground nuclear bomb and rejected the agreement that ended the Korean War.
The White House expressed deep concern about the sentencing. "We are engaged through all possible channels" to secure their release, said White House spokesman Bill Burton.
North Korea is in the midst of a leadership change as leader Kim Jong Il is believed to be ailing.
The five-day trial was held in North Korea's highest court in the capital of Pyongyang — an indication that no appeal is permitted. Outsiders were barred from attending.
The Committee to Protect Journalists called the sentences "deplorable."
"We call on all parties to the Six Party talks — North and South Korea, China, Japan, Russia, and the United States — to work together for their release," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator.
Last week, Lisa Ling, a journalist who is the sister of prisoner Laura Ling, reached out to the North Korean government.
"If at any point the girls went into North Korea, then we apologize on their behalf," Ling said.
The jailed women have spoken with their families. Ling said her sister was "very scared," though both women said they had been treated "fairly."

Proceeds from the CD benefit the Dakota Meyer Challenge to America:
Learn more about the Musician behind the music:
My father is one of those guys who is constantly brainstorming and always has ideas he's not scared to share - some good, some better left alone. As soon as he heard we were playing at a private celebration in Columbia for Dakota, he pitched the idea that we should write a song for him, and I immediately disregarded the idea.
In the weeks to come, I learned more and more details of what Dakota had actually done to receive this unbelievable honor and I was really taken away by seeing the reactions of others from across the country and even worldwide. I'm from Dakota's hometown, and seeing a fellow Columbian impact the globe in such a positive way is sure to bring forth strong emotions, especially when that hometown's population is 3800. The reality of what he had been willing to sacrifice and the pain endured started to weigh on my mind consistently and this led to me coming up with one-liner lyrics from time to time when I was driving alone. Maybe this was one of Dad's good ideas after all.
The thought of trying to write a patriotic song is both intimidating and, honestly, a bit repulsive. I say this because I'm simply not a fan of most patriotic songs released in the past 10 years or so that are often played on Top 40 radio. Of course, I love their embracement of American pride, but the actual songs just never appealed to me. However, Dakota's selflessness still weighed heavily on my mind.
As the concepts and lyrics kept coming in, I quit thinking about just doing a patriotic song and started approaching it as a song about a 19 year-old man willing to actually die doing what he believed to be right for his country. It sounds like a simple concept on the surface, but it's really tough to comprehend when you take time to meditate on that. I started passing along my ideas to two of my best friends, and eventual co-writers on the track, Kyle Beard and John Capps. They would come back with ideas and this went on for several weeks sporadically. After filtering through a ton of ideas and lines, we finally had enough material we liked to build a song.
Through my ears, the focus of the song isn't about America being the greatest country on Earth. Although that is very true, the song is about the pain that Dakota endured on the worst day of his life. He lost dear friends that day and had accepted the fact that he was going to die trying to get to them. America is only the greatest because of sacrifice. This is too often overlooked.
Dakota being acceptive of the song is an enormous honor for us. Even if it's just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things, we'd be very humbled to see each copy sold to benefit the Dakota Meyer Challenge.

Lawrence Cosby, a lawyer for funds and MC for fun. Lawrence's love for Hip Hop, comics, fitted hats and black women is legendary. Check out his twitter feed and his music.
Gene Demby. He's the managing editor of Huffington Post BlackVoices and the founder of the blog, PostBourgie.com. He makes wicked-sharp observations on race, politics and pop culture with the greatest of ease, and does super-human stuff, like run marathons. His Twitter feed also keeps us in stitches.
Marcus Vanderberg. He saw us launch the site and was all, "Don't post about me!" Too late honey. Marcus writes for MediaBistro, TheGrio.com and BET.com, and works to raise awareness about Crohn's disease. He has a biting sense of snark, but don't let that fool you… Marcus is the sweetest of sweethearts. (Yep. I said it. Fight me, Marcus.)
Keith Laing. This is total cronyism at work — Keith is one of our really good friends. But he's legitimately awesome too. Keith is a Congressional reporter for The Hill and covers transportation policy for the paper's blog. He's also been dabbling as an on-air political analyst. Keith's so awesome, the people at his old job in Florida cried when he left for a new gig in D.C.
Mychal Denzel Smith. We love him because he objected to men being objectified — until we told him he'd be on the site. An awesome scribe with a feminist worldview, Mychal writes for TheGrio.com, Good, and various other sites, and also keeps us endlessly entertained on the Twittuhs. Plus, this photo is too cute. Love ya, boo.
Wyatt Cenac. Writer and correspondent for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and all-around embodiment of bearded, deadpan comedy excellence. Swoon.
Aldis Hodge. Portrays Alec Hardison on the television show "Leverage," but acting's not his only talent. He played clarinet and violin as a kid and is a student of design. We love a creatively-gifted renaissance man.
Donald Glover. Self-explanatory.
T.J. Holmes. He's leaving his CNN post to head to BET. My weekend mornings will never be the same. :-(

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- The United Way of Indian River County Board of Directors voted to grant $30,000 to the Mental Health Association for "stabilization funding" at their March 19 meeting. This is in addition to the $80,000 already awarded the organization through the annual United Way Community Investment process for Fiscal Year 2012-13.
Representatives from the Association presented details on the recent activities of the MHA board and staff while requesting the additional financial support. Ken Felten, MHA vice chairman, led the presentation, providing insights into their developing business plan and giving an overview of actions taken by the board since the beginning of the year.
Actions taken include; a financial analysis, including both historical and projected operational costs through the end of the current fiscal year; work begun on a fund development plan; progress on an organizational effectiveness audit; and an external communications plan.
"Our board was impressed with the progress made and exceptional commitment already demonstrated by interim CEO, Robert Brugnoli, and the MHA Board of Directors," said United Way CEO, Michael Kint. "We are looking forward to a bright future for that organization and, as a result, for mental health services in our community."
The United Way Board expressed its thanks for the extraordinary effort the MHA Board is giving in service to this community and voted on the funding in support of the excellent work being done.
United Way of Indian River County is encouraging people in the community to LIVE UNITED by donating to the annual campaign, helping spread the word about programs and services that help people in need, and volunteering their time and talent to a local cause.
For more information on how you can LIVE UNITED and help create a brighter future for those in need in our community, call (772) 567-8900 or visit www.unitedwayirc.org.

Gaysians are making headlines more significantly as of late in the media. Apart from the rise of the Asian Americans such as Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu etc, I thought these links below give justice to the other world views that represent the gaysian community in all of its diversity.

Cilengitide for PSA-Only Progressive Prostate Cancer
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why This Trial Is Important
Measuring the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood is often used to determine the response of prostate cancer to treatment. A rising PSA level may indicate that active cancer cells remain in the body despite previous treatments to remove or destroy them. Often, a rising PSA level is the only signal that prostate cancer is still growing (PSA-only progression).
In this trial, men with PSA-only progression despite antiandrogen therapy will be treated with a drug called cilengitide. Cilengitide blocks receptor proteins called integrins on the surface of prostate cancer cells that may play a role in the ability of these cells to enter and exit the bloodstream, attach at potential sites of metastasis, and promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). PSA level stabilization or decline would indicate that cilengitide can help control prostate cancer growth in these patients.
"Men with this stage of advanced prostate cancer are incurable and no standard treatment exists," said Dr. Hussain. "Our hope is that cilengitide can help contain micrometastatic cancer cells by preventing their spread and adhesion to bone, which is the most common site of prostate cancer metastasis, and by stopping their potential to establish new blood vessels."

In the definitely-not-a-prequel-to-Alien, a spaceship's crew investigates what appears to be an alien vessel. Despite a largely effective cast and stratospheric technical values the plot is murky and the tone is inconsistent, as if the creators are no wiser than the audience about what it all adds up to.

Beautiful, classic magnet

Everything was perfect, just as shown online
Vintage Tag Save the Date Magnets The only problem I had was the magnets making it through the mail. I had some sent back because it stuck to the machine and got torn apart.

WEST, Texas (AP) - State and federal agents will release this week the findings of an investigation into a deadly explosion at a Central Texas fertilizer plant.
The State Fire Marshal's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will announce their findings on Thursday.
Investigators have spent nearly a month combing a 93-foot-wide crater to try to pinpoint what caused the fire and the massive blast at the West Fertilizer Co. last month that killed 14 people. They have focused on ammonium nitrate, a potentially explosive chemical used as a fertilizer, as the cause of the explosion.
Texas law enforcement officials announced Friday they had launched a criminal investigation after the arrest of a West paramedic accused of possessing bomb-making materials. He has not been linked to the fire or explosion.
