Depression is an Illness!
Depression may need a new same because I am one of the happiest DEPRESSED people I know!
Closing Statement from Leslie Pieters
Sharing my idea on Depression confirmed the need for more conversations on the topic. I appreicated the inquest that prompted me to complete my statement sooner than later which helped my idea take form.
It takes a lot to "come out" about a sensitive topic and those who did offered comfort along with their insight on Depression. This conversation enabled me to be objective about Depression while understanding it from a subjective frame of reference.
Stong statements were made by those observing the illness which proved valuable for continued directions in research. Depression referred to, "Our own slow train to our own Auschwitz", was extremely impactful comparison. I wholeheartedly advocated for a new name for Depression the illness, not depression the emotion!
Kareem Fahim
Apr 20 2013: Mental illness is much more lethal than physical one. Depression can lead a person to suicide!

Apr 20 2013: You said it, Kareem.As a person may become depressed/sad/melancholy over their compromised physical state but Depression may cause a person to rid themselves of their physical being altogether!
I couldn't believe it; one moment I am teaching the signs & symptoms of seasonal depression to my students and the next moment I am contemplating easing out of this world...simply fascinating!I want the mentally ill to feel ill instead of demonized!
Apr 20 2013: Exactly.
To fight depression one needs to be tough mentally over and over again which is easier said than done.
Observing a friend of mine who suffered depression recently and was hospitalized for two weeks I experienced how destructive depression is. This friend was an amateur boxer and was leaving a perfectly normal life. But in a couple of weeks he was a totally different person. Just meeting him and seeing him like that was a painful experience for me.
Thanks to Allah he is recovering fast now :)
Apr 23 2013: I was more amazed when the symptoms of Depression sneaked into my lifestyle. All my basic needs are met as well as my emotional needs.
It truly needs another name, Kareem. Depressed people are depressed. People with Depression are truly ill!
Nik Allday
Apr 17 2013: One of the problems with a discussion about depression is it is like a discussion about love. We all know what it means but once you start trying to define it as if it were a 'thing' out there in the universe and we are the 'observers' you lose it completely. Depression is not an illness - any more than, for example, God is love. Depression is the human response to unsatisfactory and unresolvable circumstances. In my experience that is always as the result of contradictory behaviour by other humans. In simple terms the solution to depression is not to cause it in the first place. Once someone is depressed the only thing one can do is support, appreciate, value and love them. They are quite capable of getting through it themselves with the right support.

Apr 17 2013: Well said, Nik!
Mitch SMith
Apr 16 2013: There are a bunch of conditions which result in the symptoms of depression.
- +2
Generally speaking, depression is diagnosed as a chronic persistence of cortisol and related stress "chemicals".
This can be downstream of any number of causes. And can result in recognised types of outcomes - for instance, one might be a seasonal-depressive, and some forms of depression are not related to suicide.
Another thing to consider is that depression is not the opposite of happiness .. these subjective states don't seem to work in dichotemies such as hot/cold up/down etc. One may be depressed and sad and happy and angry at the same time .. we over-simplify these things for the sake of communication.
Above all, these mental classifications all seem to work as spectrum things - much as autism is a spectrum condition, depression can have degrees of manifestation. They represent adaptive potentials .. it is the context which determines if they are appropriate.
Apr 17 2013: Thank you, Mitch!Apr 23 2013: To All Commenters,
I learned so much from you all!
Thanks a million.
See you on the mentally healed side of the moon!
LZPApr 23 2013: Depression has a tremendous impact on the people surrounding the person suffering with the illness. Not often recognized, the effects of depression can be crippling and overwhelming on loved ones who struggle to understand the challenges facing the person. Fractured communication skills and schisms that prevent positive interaction create emotional and psychological dissonance. Recognizing that depression can cause overwhelming destruction to the emotional and physical relationships in the person's life must be an important analysis of the disease and its treatment.
Apr 23 2013: Jason, I applaud your sentiments!
Like every illness, loved ones are sometimes affected more if they do not accept it. I finally accepted my brother's schizophrenia because I saw the mental deterioration it caused. I still want him to say, "Got Ya", and get out this state. He had a beautiful mind and now he cannot control it at all; it controls him in words and deeds.
With Depression, many I know do not think they have a problem but simply cannot function properly and simply wonder why they can't?
A former student told be he's Bipolar and takes three medications/day to get through the day. He is now speaking about the disease with the topic, "I'm Not Crazy, I'm Mentally iIl'. I'm so proud to know him and have decided to do the same.
I am aware that people will deny, insult the illness and the people with it and so on. Some of these people are in the field but many are our friend and family who want everything to be ok.
It can be when we can identify Depression and continue the healing process indefinitely.Apr 17 2013: To elaborate, I've been hypnotized and have identified depression in therapy with several causes be it the quintessential: mother, environment & so on.
With so much attention given to the mentally ill because of the recent shootings, I think there needs to be a repect to the mentally ill as we would have for the physically ill.
The representatives of print and talk media who bring the stories to prime-time use such negative discriptions of the ill and not the illness.
Like many illnesses of the mind, I agree that it is still difficult to define it as it is to define other intangibles such as love. Like many different versions of the illness, mine makes me hypersensitive when not medicated. Sad things make me extremely sad to uncontrollable tears and happy things make me happy. The sad things are overwhelmingly sad, however, at a time when it doesn't affect me but affects others in the world, i.e. famine in Africa, war in the Mid-East, Ethnic Cleansing in Eastern Europe.
What can be done to take the stigma away from the mentally ill so that we don't hide behind a lonely place and come out only when it's too late?
Acceptance is needed and protection along with the support. As for Depression, another name is needed for this illness. Being depressed, saddened by a certain trauma that takes time and modalites to heal is different from Depression, the illness.
David Moran
Apr 17 2013: Depression is not an illness but a healing process. A person not able to resolve a trauma at the time will attempt to think the problem through. In order to think, the mind slows down and after a while the slowing down becomes a habit. Ask any depressed person 'what happened' a few years before the onset and almost always they will describe a trauma. Like so many similar symptoms, it is mostly due to emotion trapped with no way out logically.
- +1
Apr 17 2013: I understand your logic, David!Apr 21 2013: that's not true at all, depression is not mostly caused by trauma and a large proportion of cases are either caused by bad brain chemistry or a slow grinding down of happiness.
depression is not a healing process, it is a malfunction of thinking; if anything its the opposite to healing as if given the chance the majority of cases deteriorate without interventionApr 23 2013: I am not troubled or frustrated with 'depression'. Which is not a disease. I am frustrated with people who cannot read properly. You must be the world expert thinking it is a disease so please go save the world and leave me in peace. Perhaps you have too much spare time or are trying to find a friend to which I decline.Apr 23 2013: For a number of years I and other NLP practitioners have been helping people of all ages to resolve their depression. Stop wasting yours and my time debating clinical issues. If like us you can help by resolving , curing or whatever you wish to call it continue to comment. if you cannot then clear off and get a life. It cost money to train in NLP why don't you stop messing about and do something like learning then i will have time for you.
My belief is ninety percent of ailments start in the mind. Doctors and hospitals are welcome to the remaining ten percent.
Apr 23 2013: David, you seem very troubled and frustrated by the disease also. I do hope you can help us advocate for another name for it.
We must continue not to dehumanize the person by blaming them.Apr 22 2013: Correct me if I am wrong but isn't 'given the chance the majority of cases deteriorate without intervention' the same as healing? What on earth is a 'slow grinding down of happiness'?
Apr 22 2013: That's just it, David.
It is not simply the grinding down of happiness. It literally attacks the body/brain and heightens sensitivity to tragic occurances or brings them about.
These occurances can include the distructive as well as the fatal. It is not the opposite of sadness. Depression is not the same as being depressed that's why I'm advocating for another name for this mental illness!
Apr 22 2013: Does the term Clinical Depression refer to the illness as opposed to the temporary reaction to an effecting event, such as a death in the family or the loss of a job?
Apr 22 2013: Yes, Clinical Depression is what the doctor will diaognose and label one clinically depressed if one exhibits the symptoms.
Comment deleted
Apr 23 2013: Well put, Don!
I'm glad I'm alone on that train and not lonely!
I understand!
Comment deletedApr 20 2013: The problem when comparing mental and physical illness is that mental illness is not as measurable as physical.illness. You can take a person's blood pressure , measure their glucose levels, or use any number of imaging tests to check the spread of cancer. Unfortunately no such tests exist for mental illness. One simply can not quantify behavioral health. There is no test for levels of depression, or bi-polar disorder, or schizophrenia.For this reason many still refuse to accept the reality of mental illness and continue to view it as an excuse for anti-social behavior. Unfortunately for a lot of people mental illness remains an "I have to experience it before I believe it" subject, leaving those who live with it, and their families, struggling for recognition and treatment.
Apr 20 2013: Sofia, I concur!
I truly believe that if the stigma is removed from this behavioral malady, more people may come forth giving us more subjects to test the spectrum if the illness.
For now, it needs to be respected and not damned until we can fully test and qualify it to properly treat it.
Apr 20 2013: I understand that depression carries much more of a stigma within some communities than others. Have you looked into this?Apr 17 2013: Like Mitch says - Is it's not always the same?

Jello was named the Best Solo Artist in a Boston Phoenix "50 Bands/50 States" list identifying the all-time best musicians (and new upcoming acts) from the United States proper. Sorry Puerto Rico! Jello was recognized alongside Apples In Stereo and Devotchka. Let the debating commence! "Jello Biafra" was conceived in San Francisco, as a yippie-fied provocateur (and leader of Dead Kennedys) battling Reaganomics with pith, politics, and poignancy that quickly transcended punk. (In a run for mayor of SF, his platform included a law mandating businessmen to wear clown suits. In a field of 10, he came in fourth.) But as any true Rocky Mountaineer knows, Jello's alter ego, Eric Reed Boucher, was born and raised in Boulder."
06/30/08: Jello as town mayor in zombie movie RetarDEAD
Why is Jello wearing a suit? Because he's the Mayor in the zombie flick RetarDEAD, which will premier on the weekend of July 11 at the Victoria Theatre in San Francisco.
For showtimes and ticket info, visit the Victoria Theatre calendar. The movie will be available on DVD as well; we'll most likely carry it in our mailorder, but for purchasing details and for future screenings in other cities, please visit the RetarDEAD site.
Here is the poster design for Biafra Five-O by Chuck Sperry of Firehouse Kustom Rockart. Chuck designed the cover for Jello's Machine Gun in the Clown's Hand spoken word album, as well as posters for past AT events. Both Chuck Sperry's and Nat Damm's posters will be available for sale at Biafra Five-O.
Nat Damm of Damm Damm Damm Design (and drummer extraordinaire of Akimbo) designed one of the two posters we'll make for Biafra Five-O. The other design will be by Chuck Sperry of Firehouse Kustom Rockart. Both limited edition posters will be available for sale at the shows (on 6/16 and 6/17), and the designs will be made into T-shirts.
On the Download blog at the Boston Phoenix has an exclusive story on Jello's response to radio pundit Michael Savage's recent rant about Ted Kennedy which made extensive use of "California Uber Alles."
Quoth Jello:
"I haven't read the details yet, but I'm aware of what Michael Savage did. Obviously he took my song way the hell out of context and did it deliberately. But the bigger issue is Savage himself and how the hell he gets away with stuff like saying this, and saying that people with AIDS should be put in concentration camps. And then when people protest at the station, he calls on his own listeners to come down and beat them up . . . ."
Complete story including more insight from Jello is right here.

"I have few regrets about my life in punk and the underground. The big one is that so many dear friends have died so young.
Mike was more than a great frontman with a great voice in a great band. He was warm, friendly, even soothing almost. He always made you feel accepted - that he was on your side and we were all in this together. A reporter told me that ex-M.I.A. guitarist Nick Adams said something to the effect of whenever Mike entered a room he always left with more friends than had when he came in. That was Mike. This is so wrong. It always is. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Three young girls have lost their father. A memorial and scholarship fund has been set up at Mike Conley Family Memorial Fund, c/o Orange County Teachers Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box 11547, Santa Ana, CA 92711.
I will always miss him.
Jello Biafra"

A.J. Fike won his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards race Sunday, becoming the 10th driver of the season to pick up their first victory. And, the Galesburg, Ill. native did it in his home state.
Justin Allgaier was touted as the top dark horse all week in Rotoworld's NASCAR coverage and he lived up to expectations. He spent the entire 500 laps in contention to score a top-10 and ultimately finished just outside that mark in 12th for the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Ryan Newman finished 10th in the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway and continued to solidify his standing in the standings. He now has a nine-point advantage over Paul Menard and a 63-point lead over the Chase cutoff line.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. climbed from 20th to ninth in the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway to score his fourth consecutive top-15 in the past four races of this season.
Ryan Partridge turned a dominant performance Saturday night at Colorado National Speedway into his first career NASCAR K&N Pro Series West victory.
Kyle Busch finished eighth in the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway and extended his lead in the points' standings over 31st-place Cole Whitt to 44 markers. With two races remaining, that means he is almost one full event to the good and should not have to worry overly about bad finishes at Darlington Raceway or Richmond International Raceway.
Carl Edwards finished seventh at Bristol Motor Speedway in the Irwin Tools Night Race and kept a current streak of top-15s alive. He has finished that well in his last seven attempts.
Brad Keselowski finished sixth in the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol, which was his seventh consecutive top-10 this season.

Mark finished an eventful Hungarian Grand Prix in fifth place. However, his chances of a fifth consecutive podium ended late in the race when he was forced to make an extra pit stop for dry tyres after a heavy rain shower failed to materialise.
"When it started to rain with 20 laps to go," says Mark, "I pitted for intermediate tyres. Everyone was skidding around in front of me at the entrance to the pit lane, so I made the call to pit. It didn't work out because the heavier rain didn't come and I had to pit for dries a couple of laps later, but I wanted to roll the dice."
Until that point Mark had been ahead of Fernando Alonso, who finished third.
All of the cars started the race on intermediate tyres, following a pre-race rain shower. The racing line dried quickly, however, and Mark was the first driver to pit for slicks on lap 10.
"The rain cleaned both sides of the grid," says Mark, "but the clean side still had an advantage. The asphalt was still pretty slippery where I was and I lost a couple of positions away from the line. The Mercedes' were very quick out of the blocks.
"The cross-over point to slicks was a difficult call, but we got it absolutely right. I was immediately fastest in sectors two and three, yet some drivers stayed out for two more laps. That gained me a lot of time and moved me from sixth to fourth."
Lewis Hamilton was another driver to make the call for intermediates late in the race. He emerged from the pits just behind Mark and they traded lap times for the next six laps, until they caught a gaggle of six slower cars.
"I caught the cars at just the wrong point on the track," says Mark. "The closing speed was massive; it was like they were in a Formula Ford race and we were upon them very quickly. Lewis found a way through and I pushed him all the way home."
Mark heads from Budapest to Salzburg, where he has some work to do for Red Bull before starting his summer break on Wednesday.
"Everyone in the team deserves this break," says Mark. "I'll take a few days off and enjoy a few glasses of red, but the training will start again after not too long. I'll be doing some cycling in the French Alps as well, which I'm looking forward to.
"It's fantastic to know that the next race on the calendar is at Spa-Francorchamps. All of the drivers look forward to that place and I'll be doing my best to win. A victory is going to come when we least expect it."

At the University of Birmingham we believe we should provide student teachers with the highest level of teacher training possible, and this is why we offer a Post-Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDipEd) rather than a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). Both qualifications lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) but the PGDipEd also offers the equivalent of 120 credits at Master's level (out of 180), which makes it a highly rewarding course by combining both theory and practice. Once student teachers have completed their PGDipEd they may return to study with us on a part-time basis to complete their Master's in Teaching Studies.
Our PGDipEd (QTS) in Modern Languages (main subject: Spanish) is held in very high esteem by all those who work with us: the partnership schools, the Modern Language teachers (ML), Ofsted and our students who year after year say that they find the challenge exciting and our support outstanding. We aim to help you develop into a well informed, critical teacher so that your own teaching personality can blossom. Our success and employment rates are considerably higher than the national average for ML teacher training courses in England. If you are serious about a career in Modern Language teaching then the University of Birmingham is the place to train.
Come along to one of our open evenings to find out more about teacher training opportunities at Birmingham.

The victory bell is returning to Snider for the first time in seven years.
Snider (8-0, 6-0 SAC) had more than 300 rushing yards as it defeated Bishop Dwenger 43-0 on Friday in Fort Wayne to remain undefeated and clinch the SAC championship.
Running backs Je'norie Smith and Tyrell Swain each had a game-high 92 rushing yards and a touchdown in the victory. Snider, which is ranked No. 3 in the latest Class 5A statewide coaches poll, had four rushing touchdowns in the first half to help build a 36-0 halftime lead.
Snider's defense in the shutout held Bishop Dwenger (3-5, 3-3 SAC) to 200 total offensive yards. The defense also had three sacks and forced a safety in the second quarter after Bishop Dwenger fumbled a snap on its one-yard line.
Running back D'Marcus Moon in the loss led Bishop Dwenger with 63 rushing yards.
This is the first time since 2005 that Snider has won the SAC championship.
Snider will conclude the regular season next week as it plays a road game against Wayne at 7 p.m. Friday.

Prints, knits, tie dye, leather, fur, sparkle. Sounds like a mouthful, and yet somehow it all comes together swimmingly in one cohesive collection. La Fee Verte (French for "The Green Fairy," for inquiring minds) was launched in 2009 by Canadian designer and up-and-comer in the American market, Adam Sakara. After starting his career with an enchanting intimates line, the designer has now made his foray into RTW. And, boy, are we glad!In La Fee Verte's fall '12 collection, we see a nod to European urban wear with edge; a perfect balance of heavy and weightlessness, thanks his use of leathers and suede, paired with sheers and flirty fabrics. We can also thank Sakara's Montreal influence for the easy-to-wear French feel of his primarily neutral-toned pieces. Expect the collection to ship out to Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Anthropologies, among others, in July. And, keep your eye on this soon-to-be sensation. You'll be able to say you knew him when.

All humans use language, in one form or another. As the scientific study of human language, linguistics is almost universally relevant.
The Applied Linguistics Minor prepares students for a wide variety of fields and gives them excellent critical insight into and fluency with the world's foremost currency. Students benefit from the minor in several ways: foreign language majors will have a better foundation for and grasp of what it means to learn another tongue; Study Abroad students will have practice conversing and working with international students as tutors and/or conversation partners; those interested in teaching can hone their skills with second language learners in the English Language Programs; and students interested in any career with an international communication component will develop strong cross-cultural sensitivities and instincts.
As an Applied Linguistics minor, you'll come to understand what human languages have in common, their relationships with and influences on societies and cultures, and a deep understanding of grammar and its meaning.
Applied Linguistics minors will cover subjects such as phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics, first and second language acquisition, and representation in the mind. Courses include:

I am the chair of the Applied Linguistics Department (ALD) and a professor of Applied Linguistics/TESOL. My areas of research interest are in second language acquisition, reading and writing in a second language, the application of discourse/error analysis in teaching reading/writing and developing communicative instructional materials for ESL/EFL students and teacher trainers. Over the years, I have taught a variety of both graduate and undergraduate courses, including second language acquisition, grammar, discourse/error analysis, teaching reading/writing in a second language, and theory and method in teaching a second language.
I am also interested in peace and justice issues, teach a first-year seminar on peace and justice every year, and coordinate the Peace and Justice Minor Program at Saint Michael's College.

I hope my St. Edmund's Hall office, which I've been in for 15 years, is a welcoming space for students, faculty and staff, many of whom stop in for a cup of coffee (I brew a 50-cup coffee urn every day) regularly. In addition to the coffee pot, there's a blackboard (yes blackboard, not whiteboard) on one of my walls which students have signed in on, almost ceremoniously, for years at some point during their stay. Of late, I have lots of gardening tools in my office that we are all using to help plant and maintain the International Garden. One corner of the office is beginning to look like a garden shed!

Saint Michael's is a small enough community that you know most people you see when you cross campus. But it's large enough that we have a great variety of research interests and expertise, as well as the opportunity to hook up for cross-disciplinary work. The faith-based tradition allows faculty and students to explore moral issues and clarify their values more holistically than you would find at a public academic institution.
My students seem the most inspired when they are learning how different languages work - for example, how the same "word" said with different tones in Chinese or Vietnamese might mean five completely different things; or learning about "mystery" languages like Basque, which has no known relatives and is nothing like its neighboring languages, French and Spanish.
What I like most about Saint Michael's students is their commitment to service - at least 70 percent of them do some kind of outreach either through their coursework or voluntarily - and their close solidarity with each other.
Since the Applied Linguistics Department deals with teaching English as a second or international language, it is the best place to make friends with international students, whether graduate, undergraduate, or short-stay intensive English students. Because we're also a receiving center for Fulbright scholarships, some of our students come from countries that rarely send visitors to the U.S. - for example, Niger, Afghanistan, Mozambique, Iraq, Rwanda, Palestine, and Turkmenistan, to name a few.
Our Applied Linguistics minor enhances the academic experience of any student, especially those studying modern languages, English, education, and journalism, or those who are thinking about a career in teaching or writing.
If you want to pursue an advanced degree in the language or linguistics field, Saint Michael's offers a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. You can choose from six programs taught here: Master of Arts in TESOL, Peace Corps Master's International Program, Master of Arts in TESOL with ESL Licensure, Master of Arts in TESOL with ESL Endorsement, Additional ESL Endorsement, or Graduate Certificate in TESOL.
Applied Lingustics majors will necessarily achieve a deep understanding and facility with language. That understanding is invaluable in almost any career and directly applicable to important skill sets like communication and critical thinking.
Graduates go on to succeed in careers like teaching, writing, journalism, theatre, or Law, among others.

At IFA 2014, Sony announced a second round of its lens-style QX-series cameras that use your smartphone's screen for their viewfinder and controls.
As the name implies, here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
Its lens, sensor, and LCD remain unchanged from its predecessor, but a new processor, Wi-Fi, and GPS keep the flagship megazoom from getting stale.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II's combination of looks, speed, flexibility, and photo quality makes it a great choice for enthusiasts who can afford the price tag.
With a large sensor and high-quality lens, the RX10 promises great photo quality. But its feature set may not match what many folks are looking for.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10 might be a fresh take on a point-and-shoot camera, but the design ends up being a bit more trouble than it's worth.
Basically point-and-shoots without screens and almost no physical controls, these Wi-Fi-enabled lens cameras aim to enhance your mobile photography.
A new version of Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-RX1, the RX1R, incorporates a new version of the sensor without an optical low-pass filter.
If you miss having a zoom lens, but don't want to add too much bulk and weight to your travels, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX300 is a very good choice.
With a terrific lens and a great full-frame sensor, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 delivers the best photos we've seen from a fixed-lens camera. But that doesn't come cheap.
It can't match some of its competition in the features department, but the Sony Cyber-shot HX300 still packs a powerful zoom lens and plenty of point-and-shoot punch.

This review is from AVERY Oval Labels, 10 per 4 x 6 sheet:
While I really like these little oval labels and will continue to use them, the downloadable template was not precise enough. I had to "fudge" a couple of the rows, and ruin a number of label sheets, to make them work. Perhaps the small sheet size makes it more difficult to be perfectly accurate in a printer.
This review is from AVERY Oval Labels, 10 per 4 x 6 sheet:
these labels are great for canning and food gifts. they seem to stand up to the heat and moisture when labeling fresh canned goods. Id like to see more designs available for those of us who dont know how to add designs to the labels
This review is from AVERY Oval Labels, 10 per 4 x 6 sheet:
These labels are AWESOME! Only trouble is that I simply could not get them to print like I wanted them. For some reason, the first three rows printed fine, but the last rows on each sheet would not print the entire background. I ended up with a small amount of white showing on my colored background along the bottom of each oval label. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it fixed...so ended up wasting several sheets in order to print out enough good ones for my project. It looked right on the screen, but didn't print like that. I should have called in to customer service...but was on a deadline!

I posted this to Facebook and it was a big hit so I wanted to share:
I wanted to personally thank congress for taking action to prevent further mass shootings and gun violence by banning assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. It's refreshing to see Washington finally trying to get meaningful laws passed.
As Senator Feinstein has pointed out, nobody needs an assault rifle for hunting or other legal use. I would like to recommend taking similar action against an equally dangerous product: sports cars.
Dangerous sports cars and motorcycles kill thousands of people every month. Similarly to semi automatic weaponry, nobody (besides police) needs a car that is able to exceed 70 miles per hour. That is the highest posted speed limit in the US and so making vehicles that can exceed this speed is just asking for people to break the law and drive recklessly.
Why does anyone need this kind of speed? Not only are these people breaking the law, they are endangering everyone else on the road around them. On top of these obvious risks, these high horsepower engines are also polluting at a higher rate than normal engines used by responsible commuters everywhere.
I ask that you please consider banning the sale and manufacture of all vehicles over 100 horsepower and all vehicles with an average fuel economy below 30 MPG. You can grandfather in the current cars but must prevent the sale of these death machines. No more innocent children should be killed by these ridiculous contraptions that have no place in reality. These car owners are just living in a childish fantasy world where they think that they might one day need to break the speed limit.
I demand a plan of action to curb the senseless car related deaths that claimed 32000 lives last year. I dont know how many of these deaths are actually attributable to sports cars but, as has been made clear in our plan to reduce gun deaths, that little piece of information really isn't important. America's selfish sports car culture must face the facts. I'm currently recruiting celebrities to make an emotional YouTube video.
After this, I think the next target should be to ban the sale and manufacture of all high calorie soft drinks but alas, let's take this one step at a time. There are 300 million people in this country today and I'm blessed to live in a country where my lawmakers know what's best for each and every one of us. Personal accountability is all well and good but any time that our lawmakers in DC can make us safer by restricting our rights, it truly is a great thing.
Best Regards,

As federal budget cuts downsize Head Start programs across the country, staff and board members of Head Start serving southwest Iowa band together to ease the impact of what could have otherwise been a devastating blow to early childhood education.
Julie Lang, Head Start director at MATURA Action Corporation based in Creston, said $48,000, or 5.27 percent, was cut from this year's budget.
As a result, and after much discussion, Head Start board members chose to closed its Corning classroom in June.
"That was pretty devastating to our program," said Lang. "We've never had to close one of our classrooms."
By closing its classroom in Corning, 15 children and one teacher were displaced.
Head Start
Head Start programs across the nation serve more than one million children each year. This preschool program is unique because it addresses the whole child when providing services to prepare students to have the skills they need to succeed when they enter kindergarten.
MATURA Head Start works in collaboration with families and community partners to address health, nutrition, education, social, and other areas of service to children and families. The program is required to meet federal guidelines called the Head Start Performance Standards, follows the Head Start Act and is given the Head Start outcomes framework to guide its work in supporting children's education.
Who goes?
Making a decision "was horrible" Lang said.
"Our decision was based on what community could continue to provide to these families," she said. "We looked at the family investment program list (families on welfare) and that number was pretty low for Corning."
Lang said, based on other services available in Corning's community, Corning was determined to be a community that could "thrive," should services be removed.
"The (public) school (in Corning) has a 4-year-old preschool, so they had somewhere to go," said Lang. "For the three year olds, the Hearts and Hugs have a preschool and there are some empowerment or early childhood Iowa preschool scholarships they could utilize to still make sure those families are getting services."
Lang said making sure alternative services were available to those 15 students was the board's biggest concern.
"They had a difficult time making that decision, "said Lang. "Because we've never had to do that."
The matrix
Other determining factors were staff education qualifications, the number of families and students a closure would effect, how many other programs were available in the community and the needs of the families.
"We have a matrix that we use," said Lang.
According to Lang, the matrix and a family-needs survey were tools used to determine which classroom closed.
"For this past year, we were able to look at those and say, 'there were a lot of families with a lot of needs at this center, but not so much at that center'."
Lang said the most frustrating part of the process was cutting funding without compromising the quality of the program.
"Well, how do you do that and continue to pay your teachers?" asked Lang.
Lang said three management-level staff members are taking the summer off unpaid and others working these summer months are "wearing many hats" to pick up the slack.
"Our teachers are here because they love what they do," said Lang. "It doesn't pay, and it's a lot of work."
Lang said it has become difficult to compete with the school districts in terms of providing a quality work place in the face of sequestration.
"We want them to be educated and then do all this assessing of preschool kids," said Lang.
Lang said, if money was to come back to the program, she would like to see the Head Start teachers and aides receive a bump in pay.
"We just want to be a good place for people to work and provide good services for children and families," said Lang. "When they are cutting the dollars, that makes it pretty hard."
To ease the budget burden, Lang said management and the board decided to end its school year early.
"We didn't want to do this at all," said Lang. "But, it wasn't a matter of 'if we close,' it was 'where' do we close?"

Hydrogen refueling initiative expanded in Germany
12:32 PM MDT | September 30, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
Partners in the H2 Mobility initiative in Germany—including Air Liquide, Daimler (Stuttgart, Germany), Linde, OMV (Vienna), Shell, and Total—have announced an expansion in the plan to increase its hydrogen (H2) refueling stations from 15 to 400 by 2023. The hydrogen network for fuel cell–powered electric vehicles was started in 2009, with initial start-up of the first phase expected to be complete by 2015. Over the next four years, 100 hydrogen stations are to be deployed in Germany as a first step in the expanded initiative, the companies say...

90% (or more) of what we learn in schools is NOT subject related
There is a tremendous focus on the quality of the subjects in schools, so children will learn more and thus education will improve. But I wonder if school isn't about learning maths or history, but maybe school is relevant to learn life skills. To learn how to develop your own way to look at the world and using skills that transcend school subjects. What do you think?
May 27 2013: "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" by Robert Fulghum
"These are the things I learned (in Kindergarten):
1. Share everything.
2. Play fair.
3. Don't hit people.
4. Put things back where you found them.
6. Don't take things that aren't yours.
7. Say you're SORRY when you HURT somebody.
8. Wash your hands before you eat.
9. Flush.
10. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
11. Live a balanced life - learn some and drink some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.
12. Take a nap every afternoon.
13. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
14. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Stryrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
15. Goldfish and hamster and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
16. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK."
I live by these 16 commandments.May 27 2013: I've been a high school teacher for 13 years and I see my main function as helping a pre-pubescent 11/12 year old make the great journey into adulthood. I teach them science along the way, but teaching them how the adult world works is just as important.
May 27 2013: It is interesting that so many people who are not teachers just assume teachers (uniquely) don't understand or attend to the values everyone else thinks are obviously of greatest merit.
Chris Malins
May 28 2013: The learning revolution is driving towards more holistic models I believe, although there are resisters. Through enhanced teacher training programmes we should empower our future teachers to understand multiple intelligences and learning styles which could help us to include and inspire our students more. It seems to me, as a teacher, that the 'art' of education has been replaced by dry delivery of subjects which children are expected to regurgitate at exam time to show that they have been taught effectively. As Sir Ken points out in his creativity video, "many brillant people leave school thinking they´re not" and this is just because modern state education expects individuals to 'fit' the narrow bandwidth. My University training is as a Waldorf teacher and after working for many years in the UK, I am in Spain and the system here is even more restrictive than the UK. Drop-out rates are high and yet there is no public awareness of other ways of delivering education. Schools are only as good as the teachers they have and the teacher´s love for the children and their work is paramount. If exams and teacher´s paperwork are reduced there is more time to develop creative inspiring lessons for the students which in turn would lead to more interest from the students. Freedom for teachers to move their lessons into directions which appeal and engage their individual students should be encouraged. Schooling should also engage children in life-skills and be considered more as a journey in which the teachers travel with their students, guide them and learn from them while sharing what they know. Schooling should bring out the best in each individual child so that whatever their futures, they will be happy and continue feeling that learning about our world and all its wonders is an amazing thing. A balanced holistic education would develop both left and right hemispheres equally, see Jill Bolte Taylor for a hint. Predominantly left-brain education needs to change.May 28 2013: When I was little, I remember my mother always saying how times were so different than when she was growing up. And I find myself saying that a lot now and I'm only in my late 20s. I completely agree that schools should take more of a proactive approach in regards to teaching children life skills. We no longer can rely on them learning these things at home. For many reasons, times are just different now.

One being the internet. With social networking sites practically being inescapable, it is vital that we teach our kids how to deal with life and to embrace individuality. If the kids aren't learning life skills at home, or at school, they're left to learn it via facebook and twitter - or as I call them, the Home of Groupthink. Among the people who create online personas to make up for real life insecurities, there are kids who will never learn how to form an opinion of their own because they will be conditioned to always vote with the group for fear of public alienation or humiliation.
Schools are the best places to counter this. Our kids need to learn how to cope and deal with life in different ways now. The traditional - "learn the hard way" approach to figuring life out is now gambling with kids lives.
I think this is a great idea.
May 29 2013: It also seems important to me to learn like skills, because the Internet and the world around us changes rapidly and constantly. I would rather learn about dealing with the world, than learn about knowledge that was considered usefull 50 or more years ago. That way people can learn how to survive in an ever changing environment, with core skills, and the schools don't have to keep on teaching things that aren't relevant anymore.May 28 2013: Lisanne, I couldn't agree more.
Kids spend so much of their time at school, but so little time in self-exploration, which so naturally leads to essential traits like respect and empathy. Absolutely, core subjects are vital, but equally vital is the personal development of each individual! If we can't help our kids become responsible, independent, caring members of society in school, we certainly can't blame them in retrospect for not possessing these characteristics!
Another great talk on this by Sir Ken Robinson, is: "How to Escape Education's Death Valley":
Elvis M. C.
May 27 2013: I think it depends on each person. People think that school or university will give them the right skills to be successful in life,but that's not true. You are the only one who can decide what to do in your life...School is only a place where you can develop new skills that will help you throughout your life. After all it's up to if you want to learn how to look at the world and school will not teach you that.

May 26 2013: I think that this is a well recognized idea, actually- that school is about developing basic strategies for further learning, skills in communication in writing and orally, the ability to gather and consider information, and so forth. Further, school includes the development of skills in organization and decision-making.
- +1
Teacher training includes strategies for teaching these skills.Jun 1 2013: There are certainly some social skills and life skills learning taking place in schools but it could be a lot better if, like thinking itself, the focus was on the explicit development of those skills in an environment where failure was possible without major humiliation. Right Binkley? Dr. Edward deBono would like to see thinking and operacy taught. There are organizations such as The Church of Scientology that actually have life skills courses.
I know that there are things I learned that did not come from formal education but from things like television news casts, documentaries, children's television shows, radio, personal reading, personal exploration, experimentation and experience.
If a school does have a course on a life skill such as communication, I would prefer that it not be mandatory and that it be structured along the lines proposed by Dr. Roger Schank.May 29 2013: I completely agree. This touches on Geoffrey Canada's statement in his talk about how the school system is operating in the same way that hasn't worked for years. There needs to be a major revamp to update our schools to adapt to today's children and what they are going through. Our kids are not the same yet the school system has never changed. Even incremental steps to adjust would make the biggest differences in the long-run.May 29 2013: Lisanne, I think there is a need for history and maths and science etc etc. If we do not know the basics we will not be equipped with the tools to explore the world and make relevance of the teaching we obtained in school. The basics should set up a student to do this.
The other point is what are relevant life skills? This is different depending on how you see your future, and yet it is only a possible future. Things happen and the future you thought you had may no longer be there. By being educated and skilled allows one to adjust and change course.May 28 2013: School does fail at giving these essential life skills. especially, and most importantly, the ability to decide and judge actions/situations based upon consequences & morality. so many kids are fed up with the schools' strict and restricted system that they give up on it and hence go forth ignorantly exploring the world; only to stumble and drift towards ill advised situations. but thats just it, no body advised them in the first place.May 27 2013: Only 90%...
'Why I Hate School But Love Education||Spoken Word'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_ZmM7zPLyIMay 27 2013: I'm so glad that people are supporting my point of view! I work as a school psychologist and encounter teachers that don't understand this every day. It makes me sad that those teachers don't see how important they are.
May 27 2013: At our faculty we talk about this all day but then we go to library and 'learn' formulas and 30 years old theorems which we've to memorize exam day :(May 27 2013: There is so much political going on in society and everthing else - It amazes me that kids get as much as they do out of education.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — If you married, have a new address or experienced significant life changes in March, you should review your emergency contact information to ensure it is accurate, Air Force Personnel Center officials advised.
The Military Personnel Data System manages military personnel and pay information as accessions, separations, retirements, promotions, reenlistments, training, mobilization and casualties. Because the system was outdated and required a complete upgrade, officials shut down the system for 17 days in March.
"During the upgrade, some individual information in the virtual Record of Emergency Data could not be updated, like marital status and personal addresses," said Matt Siwicke, with AFPC casualty affairs.
The DD Form 93, "Record of Emergency Data," is the source document required by law to provide emergency contact information and beneficiary designations in the event an Airman becomes a casualty. The vRED, accessible through virtual Military Personnel Flight, satisfies that requirement.
"It is your responsibility to keep this information current and completion of the document is mandatory," Siwicke said. "If any of your applicable information changes, your vRED should be updated as soon as possible."
Siwicke also urged Airmen to review and make appropriate changes to the unpaid pay and allowance recipient, death gratuity recipient, and person authorized to direct disposition fields to ensure they are accurate, now that the conversion is complete.
For more information about the MilPDS conversion, emergency contact data and other personnel issues, visit the myPers website at https://mypers.af.mil.
