Toya Wright And Estranged Husband Memphitz Spotted Having Dinner Together
When Toya Wright and Memphitz wed back in 2011 and shared their picture perfect wedding ceremony with the world, we all just knew they'd be together forever–the chemistry between the two read lifetime lovers.
However, in nearly four years their enviable relationship turned from sugar to sh*t as the martial bliss they once shared ultimately became marital woes, resulting in the two separating. Just earlier this year in February, Wright sat with Necole Bitchie for an exclusive interview that not only confirmed but also explained the reason behind their parting. Surprisingly, the accusations of abuse towards ex-girlfriend K. Michelle took a toll on both Memphitz career and marriage to Toya, which she had denied bothered her in the past.
Since the announcement of their separation the two have not be in contact, as far as we know. However, earlier this week, the two were spotted together. They were at popular Los Angeles restaurant Crustaceans having what looked like a couples dinner with another estranged couple, former Basketball Wives L.A. cast member Brittish Williams and her ex-fiancè, European basketball star, Lorenzo Gordon.
Toya nor Memphitz have spoken further about the status of their relationship, but from the looks of it they might possibly be trying to patch things ups.
Memphitz Surrenders To Fulton County Police
Former music industry executive Mickey "MempHitz" Wright surrendered to the Fulton County Police Tuesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The warrant stems from the Thursday incident in which Wright was accused of pulling out a gun on Johns Creek car wash employee Harold Huntley, who he believed stole marijuana from his vehicle. It also also alleged that he stormed away from the scene with Huntley's cell phone.
"He comes back and is like, 'You stole my weed, you stole my weed.' I was like, 'Nah, man,' and then he pulled a gun out on me and was like, 'It's gonna be your life or it's gonna be my weed,'" Huntley told reporters.
As previously reported, the frightening exchange was captured by car wash surveillance cameras. Wright was booked on charges of aggravated assault and armed robbery. As of Wednesday, the estranged husband of Toya Wright was being held without bond.

Wanted! Memphitz Assaults And Robs A Car Wash Employee
It looks like Toya might have been telling the truth when she said that her husband Memphitz Wright was having some mental challenges.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, police are searching for Mickey "Memphitz" Wright and have issued warrants for his arrest. On Friday evening, the former music executive and reality tv star, was accused of pulling a gun on car wash employee who he accused of stealing his weed.
The accusations become a little more believable considering there is surveillance video documenting most of the tense and threatening interaction.
Memphitz had his jeep cleaned Thursday afternoon and according to Harold Huntley, the car wash employee, when he took Memphitz' car, he smelled marijuana. When he returned the car, Memphitz accused the employee of stealing his weed.
He told reporters, "He comes back and is like, 'You stole my weed, you stole my weed.' I was like, 'Nah, man,' and then he pulled a gun out on me and was like, 'It's gonna be your life or it's gonna be my weed,'"
Huntley called the police and that's when Memphitz snatched his phone and ran off.
"He was like, 'Man give me the phone, give me the phone. What's it gonna be? Your lit or your phone? Is it really that important?"
Felony arrest warrants have been issued for armed robbery and aggravated assault for Wright.
Police later found the jeep, the handgun and the stolen phone a few miles from the car wash. But Wright was no longer with the items.
They believe he called someone to pick him up.
You can watch the exchange in the video below.
And though he's a wanted man, Fameolous_ discovered that Memphitz is still very much connected and in the know. He was caught liking a couple photos on the gram over the weekend.
Cares not.
After all those people were riding for Memphitz, swearing he would never, I know K. Michelle is somewhere shaking her head.
Serious Question: Should Toya, Tamar And Rasheeda Apologize To K. Michelle?
"That man beat my ass." Most of us remember the episode of "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta," quite well. The tears K. Michelle shed when she told Rasheeda about the abuse she endured at the hands of her ex-boyfriend were unforgettable. The tears were in response to Rasheeda, who with the straightest of faces, told K. Michelle that the story she had just shared with her probably didn't happen.
At the time, we didn't know who "that man" was. But people starting putting the puzzle pieces together and were able to surmise that she was talking about record-producer Memphitz. And it wasn't long before he came forward, denying K. Michelle's claims, attempting to tear down her credibility in the process.
The "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" scene with Rasheeda was hard to watch. One, because K. Michelle was reliving a real hurt. But mostly because Rasheeda, her castmate, another woman, should have been able to listen supportively. Even if in knowing Memphitz, she had reason to doubt her accusations, telling K. Michelle that she was lying was just not the right move.
Sadly, Rasheeda wasn't the first or the last woman to tell K. Michelle they believed she was lying about the whole ordeal.
After her, there was Toya Wright, Memphitz's current [estranged] wife. She quickly grew tired of hearing K. Michelle talk about her family and had some less than pleasant things to say about the singer turned reality star. After K. Michelle appeared on Wendy Williams talking about the abuse from Memphitz, Toya commented on Instagram saying "fuck K." Then in an interview with The Jasmine Brand, Toya blasted K. Michelle for not having any proof of her allegations against Memphitz.
"If somebody abuse you like that, where is the proof, where is the police report, where is the pictures, where is the messages that you said he sent threats to your kid and threatened to kill your child?…It don't matter about love, you would be in jail if you threaten my kid…And she's saying that I said all this stuff about her, pull it up, where is it?"
Then she took it a step further:
"Anybody that knows him for real just be like 'what is wrong with this girl?' And the crazy part about it is everybody say that you crazy and you hit them. You the abuser."
Then Tamar, Toya and Memphitz's friend, jumped into the mix. Subtweeting K. Michelle, but @ mentioning Toya, telling her to ignore the haters and enjoy her marriage. She's also called K. Michelle a liar flat out, instructing her via Twitter, that it was time to tell the truth.
But this weekend, when Memphitz's defamation suit was thrown out, it seemed that K. Michelle finally received public vindication.
After a years-long battle, during his deposition, while he was under oath, Memphitz finally admitted that not only did he smother K. Michelle with a pillow but also that he threatened to kill her son. Sounds pretty abusive to me.
And now that the truth has come from Memphitz's own lips, I wonder how all the women who rode for him are feeling these days. Perhaps, quite salty.
I doubt that this will ever happen, but it really wouldn't be a bad idea for Rasheeda, Toya, and Tamar to issue an apology to K. Michelle. Each of these women went out of their way to drag K's name through the mud when she was telling the truth the whole time.
It's incredibly mind boggling that Memphitz would attack K. Michelle for years in interviews, over social media and through others, only to eventually acknowledge that he did what she said he did. What was it all for? Surely, he didn't go through all of this just to get attention. Either way, I'm sure homeboy is looking a bit unrecognizable to quite a few people right now. And perhaps this is the man K. Michelle knew all along.
I can understand that each of these ladies had other reasons to dislike K. Michelle. Hell, she's not exactly my favorite either, but an apology is in order.
The notion that these ladies should apologize is not one I came up with on my own. The Shade Room reports that a mutual friend of Toya, Tamar and Tiny, Sabrina, who owns a business women-empowerment business called The Glam University, wrote an Instagram comment, saying the women treated K. Michelle horribly throughout this whole ordeal.
I agree with Sabrina not only because they called her everything but a child of God; but also because in claiming that she was lying and denying her right to tell her story, they also showed other women, who may share a similar experience, how their stories will be received if they decide to share. That unknown woman, perhaps with a smaller platform than K. Michelle's, will be told she's a liar, people will try to silence her and her character will be attacked.
Outside of the far off land called celebrity, we regular folk can all learn something from this. Just because you dislike a woman, even if you have good reason to, doesn't mean she should not be allowed to speak her truth, without ridicule and degradation. As fellow women, sisters in the struggle against misogyny, we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss stories of abuse, especially when it could be, and in the case of Tamar, has been one of us.

Memphitz Loses Defamation Case Against K Michelle & Mona Scott Young
Memphitz has officially lost his defamation case against the VH1 and K. Michelle. Memphitz sued VH1 in 2012 after K Michelle accused him of physical abuse and embezzlement on the show. The accusations started a huge beef between the two and Memphitz' friends.
According to the Atlanta Journal,
In the lawsuit filed in the United States Northern District of Georgia on Sept. 5, 2012, Wright asked for $15 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages.
To win the defamation case, Wright had to prove K Michelle's allegations that he physically abused her were false, that he is more a private figure than a public figure (where the bar is far higher to prove defamation and "actual malice" has to be proven) and that the production companies and VH1 aired this information knowing it was false. He also had to prove the allegations were "injurious to his reputation and was published with a degree of fault at least amounting to negligence."
The Fulton County judge Robert McBurney decided in favor of the defendants. In general, the allegations were true, Wright is deemed a public figure as a former TV host and husband of singer and reality star Toya Wright and the production company "exercised due diligence concerning Defendant Pate's domestic violence claims," according to final court judgment. "The record shows that they reasonably believed Defendant Pate during production of LHHA and that they still do today."
Wright in depositions acknowledged he got into a physical altercation with K Michelle in a Memphis hotel altercation in 2009 and had spent money from Jive Record's budget for jewelry, not to help her career, and had sent a text message threatening to kill K. Michelle's son. That content of the text was bleeped out on the show, negating its import in the case.
The summary judgment goes into detail about the argument between K Michelle and Wright where Wright admits he put a pillow and/or his hands over her mouth to try to shut her up. She reasonably thought he was trying to kill her. He later tried to backtrack from his initial acknowledgments, according to a court filing by the defendants seeking summary judgment.
Although K Michelle wasn't a defendant in the original case, she was added later. The other defendants are Viacom, which owns VH1 and the production companies NFGTV and Monami Entertainment.
The judge was also displeased that it took several months for Wright to specify what was defamatory, noting that the delays "consumed the resources of the Court and Defendants and ultimately required an order of the Court to fix."
Wow. That's definitely a mouthful of information. It seems like the case has been going on for FOREVER. Thankfully it is now over and everyone can move on. I can now officially side eye everyone calling K Michelle a liar.
Toya Talks New Book "How To Lose A Husband" On Wendy Williams
Ooo wee. If we thought Toya was going to take the high road during this separation between she and her husband Memphitz, we might have been mistaken. In promotion for Reginae's episode of "Super Sweet Sixteen," she stopped by the "Wendy Williams Show." And since her personal life is really juicy these days, she also talked about her marriage and how she's handling things.
And child, she kept her cool for most of it but there was some drama. Check out the highlights from the interview below.
Do you think the party was too extravagant?
Reginae is a great child and it's her sixteenth birthday. Everybody do it big for their kids' sixteenth birthday party…if they can. If you can go all out, go all out.
What do you think about Wayne and Christina Milian?
I don't think about that.
Then Wendy got right into the state of her relationship with Memphitz.
Why are you separated?
My husband started to feel like he was living in my shadow. When I met him he was a big music executive. He discovered talent like T Pain, K Michelle, all different types of artists. And to go from begin a music executive to being known as Lil Wayne's ex wife's husband…it just started to take a toll on him.
What happened to his career?
He started mixing business with pleasure. He got into a relationship with his artist, K Michelle and it was a lot of allegations that he beat her and stuff like that. The person that you see right now, that's a person who's dealing with a lot of hurt and pain and that's just how he's choosing to deal with it.
Have her allegations affected your marriage?
I wouldn't say she affected my marriage. This is how I feel about the whole situation, there's three sides to every story: her side, his side and the truth. And to be honest with you, no one knows the truth only the people in that room. And you know, we're all going off the information that we believe to be the truth. So we all are entitled to our own opinion.
How is he mentally right now?
You see he's acting out on Instagram. How he chooses to deal with his stuff is how he chooses to. How I choose to deal with mine is different. I'm hurt too. I decided to write a book called "How To Lose A Husband."
Would you like to reconcile?
I would love to work things out with my husband because here's the thing Wendy, a lot of people get married and when things go wrong they give up on their marriage. You make a vow, it's for better or for worse.
Did his appearing on Tiny and Toya affect his position at Sony?
Absolutely. I just feel like they didn't accept him in a tv world. They were looking at him like, you're more of a behind the scenes type of guy now you're "mister tv man." In that world, the tv industry, reality that is, is not really respected.
Memphitz asking Toya to join "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta"
Mona Scott Young asked Memphitz and I to join the show. And to me, that's not something that I want to be a part of. And I didn't feel that was the right thing to do for my marriage. We were newlyweds. To go on a show to go back and forth with your ex…I was like 'No. You go on the show. I'm not going on the show.'
After Wendy and Toya had time to talk all of their grown women talk, she called Reginae out to chat about her recent birthday party, the drama between Birdman and Wayne and her future plans.
The best part was getting my car because I love driving. My security…he's been teaching me how to drive since I was 14 years old.
I home-school now. This is my first year of homeschooling, so up to ninth grade.
Wayne and Birdman
With me, I love them both and that's business. My loyalty belongs to my father, anything that he goes through. I love my father and I love my godfather. When my father was in jail, my godfather, he took care of me. So I love them both and I'm praying that they get through whatever they have…
Why Memphitz wasn't in the show
Toya: He was at her Super Sweet Sixteen. They cut him out of the special, I guess because of what is going on. But he plays a very important role in her life.
Are you going to college or are you going into the industry?
I'm going to, of course, go to college still. But I am going to sing and rap. But right now, with the label goring through what they're going through I'm on hold as well as my father.
Why did you leave the OMGirlz?
It was business . With the different labels and who to sign with…it was just a business thing.
Toya Wright Says People Need To Understand That Marriage Is For Better Or Worse: "I Took A Vow"
In regard to Mickey "MempHitz" Wright and Toya Wright's marital issues, the cat is out of the bag and chilling on Front Street. Both parties have been more than willing to share their side of the story. In case you're in need of a quick refresher, Toya credits her husband's alleged mental and emotional breakdown for their separation, while Mickey blames his wife for his failing career.
While promoting her daughter Reginae's "Super Sweet Sixteen" special on MTV, Wright continued to discuss her faltering marriage and she insisted that her husband's troubled past has everything to do with his professional failures, not her or their relationship.
"I just feel like I'm not the blame for that. Those things were happening before he met me," she told The YBF. "Yes, he did lose his job. But I don't feel like it's my fault. Things happen. Maybe you made a few bad decisions in the past but I'm not the fault for it."
Although she continued to express that she believes his frustrations are misguided, she said that she will continue to support him through this difficult time.
"I took a vow for better or worse and a lot of people don't understand that who aren't married," Wright explained. "Maybe your husband feels like you're the reason that this [situation] happened. Maybe he's going through something. All you can continue to do is be a good person and pray for him and help him get through it or whatever."
And while she did admit that she feels her husband turned his back on their marriage, she said that she will not be doing the same.
"I'm not gonna give up on the situation. I'm here for him and I'll continue to be a supportive wife," she continued, "I feel like he thinks he's in my shadow and he's gotta get his life back. You gotta do what you gotta do."
As for Memph's ex, K. Michelle, who remains at the center of his legal problems, Toya had this to say:
"I have nothing against K Michelle. I'm happy for her and all her success. And when I speak on the situation, it's from the character I know of my husband. And people don't know him. They only know her side of the story because she has a larger platform. What people don't realize is that there's always three sides to a story."
Toya also made it clear that neither abuse nor infidelity ever occurred in their relationship. While we would honestly suggest that these two express their grievances with one another to a marriage counselor as opposed to the general public, perhaps the simple act of getting things out in the open will help in some way—even if that means letting the world in on all of your business. It certainly seemed to help her friend Tiny when she and her husband, T.I., were going through their stuff last summer.

"I Was Just Trying To Keep it Real": K Michelle Says She Tried To Warn Toya Wright That Memphitz Was A "Grown A** Boy"
As Toya Wright continues to try and make sense of everything going on in her strained marriage, K Michelle has started her "My Twisted Mind Tour," and is celebrating all the success she has been having in her career. During a show in Baltimore yesterday, the singer took a second to warn her fans about "grown a** boys" posing as grown a** men–and that includes Memphitz. K used this time to remind everyone that the same guy she that she claimed had mistreated and even abused her, is the same one that Toya Wright is going through hell and high water with right now. And by telling her story about all that she went through with Memphitz years ago, K was, in essence, trying to "keep it real" and warn other women about him–including Toya. Check out what she had to say to the packed house:
"Every day he's a different, crazy a** dude. These are the signs of a grown a** boy. Better run for the hills! Toya I was just trying to muthf**kin' keep it real!"
Back in 2012, when we first met K Michelle and heard her allegations against Memphitz (she never said his name on TV, but people eventually connected him to K and called him out as her alleged abuser), Toya Wright was not here for anything she had to say.
"I love my husband. It does not matter what you say, I'm not leaving him. Show me the proof. That's what I wanna see. If you can show me where he beat you. If you can show me the police reports. If you can show me the emails, the messages. If you can show me where he stole your money. You have all these false allegations, but no proof. Show everybody."
Who knew that almost three year later, things would have turned out like this…?
Memphitz On His Issues With Toya Wright: I Love My Wife, But "I'm Starting To Love Myself A Little Bit More"
Since Toya Wright decided to speak to Necole Bitchie about everything going on with her marriage, I'm sure you saw a response from Memphitz coming, right? Not only did he post a very interesting photo on Instagram, but he sat down to talk to Sister 2 Sister about what he claims are the real reasons they grew apart. He cites career sacrifices (he was V.P. of A&R at Jive Records), outside criticism about him not being on the same level as her ex-husband, and of course, the K. Michelle situation, as some of the bigger issues that caused their separation.
Where They Currently Stand
I'm definitely separated from my wife. Now, I love my wife, don't get me wrong. Nothing has changed as far as the love. It's just the fact that I'm starting to love myself a little bit more. And when I say that, I mean it as I don't think a lot of people know that I gave up a lot for my wife, a lot of my life for my wife.
On Not Wanting To Be Married In The First Place
When I met my wife, of course, we fell in love and we were friends first. But at the same time, when it started to get a little more serious, and we were talking about getting married, I had already told her that I would never get married. I had seen people married, and I just didn't like what I was seeing. I came up with both of my parents and my parents were having a rough time. And I would just see what type of things were going on. I had always been scarred from marriage from that, and from friends of mine that got married young. I told her that I would never do that, and she said, "okay." But then all of a sudden my feelings started to change. When you love someone and you see they kind of doing their own thing, it's like, you know what? I think I need to take this another level to keep her around and for her to solely belong to me and be mine.
When Things Changed
I asked her to marry me. I'm still happy about that choice. But I think the fact that we got married on television, I think that's when everything kind of like…I wasn't expecting what came with that. And even though I knew what came with marrying my wife — just the fact with her history and who she was already married, people told me, "It's a million girls out here, you got all these girls, why would you want to marry that one?" I was like, because that's the one I love. But when we got married a lot of stuff came with that. The public hate that I was receiving, which I'm cool with because I don't care about what people say too much. Like, "Oh, he's not Wayne…he doesn't make money like Wayne, why would you f**k with him?" Even my kids' moms, they used to live in Atlanta, and all of a sudden they just broke off and left when I got married. It was like everybody was trying to make it hard for me. Even with the K.Michelle thing…
On Being Given An Ultimatum By His Wife After Trying To Defend Himself From K. Michelle's Allegations
Over time, when I was offered to go on the show ["Love and Hip Hop Atlanta"] to defend myself, Mona called me and was like, "You should come on the show and defend yourself." And even though I had warned Mona already that this stuff never happened…they did it anyway, they let her do it. And even though [K.Michelle] didn't say my name, she led people to me by the description. So Mona called me, and she said, "You should come on the show and defend yourself." I was like, "Okay, I'm on my way, I'm coming." So I tell my wife that. We were in Vegas and I'm telling my wife, "I just got a call from Mona…" And she's like, "You not 'bout to go on that show and defend yourself. You about to go on that show and be arguing back and forth with your ex-girlfriend over some petty sh*t like that? That's disrespecting me. I was like, "Disrespecting you?"
She was adamant about no, I'm not going on that show. So I kind of got an ultimatum after a couple days of Mona waiting on my answer. My wife was kind of like, "If you go on that show we might as well call this over with because I'm not dealing with that kind of disrespect. I took a few days and thought about it. I just left the room, I slammed the door, I just left. I'm like, 'How she want me to just walk away from this?' She was like, "You just need to do the right thing and sue."
How He Feels His Personal Life Hurt His Career
So that's what I did. I called some attorneys and I sued. I sued everybody, but at the time, I didn't realize what I had just done. I had just sued my career.
I was in full bed with BET, MTV, VH1, all things under Viacom, and they supported anything I had done up to that point. But the fact that I'm with the my wife and I get put between my wife and my career…a part of me was like, at first, looking at my wife like, 'F**k what you're talking about, that's my career. I have a career, I have to go defend myself.' And soon as we got married I get fired. Jive Records/Sony fired me. Soon as I got married and I was on my wife's show, they was like, "Oh you're Mr. TV man now, you don't be at work and this and this and that. And I was like, I'm getting caught up in a world that's affecting my career. So at the point where I got that ultimatum and it was like, my wife was like, "What are you going to choose?" So I'm looking at her like, my wife or my career? So I close my eyes and said, "I love my wife" so I chose my wife…

K. Michelle Says "Karma" Is Behind Memphitz And Toya Wright's Marital Issues As He Puts Both Women On Blast On IG
We told you earlier this week that Toya Wright decided to speak out about everything going on in her marriage with Mickey "Memphitz" Wright. She told NecoleBitchie that part of the reason why he's so stressed (and having a nervous breakdown in her mind) is because of the whole K. Michelle situation. Although K didn't put his name out there, once it came out that he was the ex who allegedly abused her, Toya said that it was hard for Memphitz to clear his name and make money. That made her the breadwinner, which caused animosity:
"I mean, what is going on with my husband, like I said when I spoke on it, is bigger than me. Micky[sic] has been going through something for the last few years since the whole lawsuit thing against his ex [K. Michelle] and Viacom and it really took a toll on him and it caused him to be a different person. So I think that, going through all of those things, and having all of that stress and the world looking at you one way as a "woman beater" and person that steals someone's money. It's hard for you to get back into your industry when you had a career and not a [just] job and somebody defames your character. I mean, it's a lot to deal with day to day."
And while that's obviously not the only big thing behind their marital strife, the abuse claims from the singer definitely didn't help. But K says that when you don't do right, you can't expect things to go right in your life. She posted this on Instagram yesterday:
Well…that's true…
As for Memphitz, he's still displaying odd behavior on social media, and just a few hours ago, he posted this image of his estranged wife, his ex, with himself in the middle holding up an x with his fingers. Guess that means he wants 'no parts' of either of the women (we know the feeling is mutual in terms of K).
And as for Toya, well, she's just trying to stay positive by leaning on her faith.
This thing just keeps getting messier and messier…

Talking rural health care, part 2
Last week we talked with Randy Farrow, CEO of Mankato Clinic, and Julie Gerndt, chief medical officer, about the challenges of recruiting health care workers in rural areas. This week we talk about the financial challenges of providing health care in rural areas. Sources of payments in particular have been problematic, but new federal programs are helping rural providers survive better in low-volume areas.
Talking rural health care
Randy Farrow, CEO of the Mankato Clinic, and Chief Medical Officer Julie Gerndt join Jim to talk about some of the challenges with providing health care in rural areas these days. This week, the topic is recruiting health care providers to small towns, where they may have to become the jack of all trades, covering everything from the emergency room to delivering babies.
Some more with Steve Wenzel
This week we have part 2 of our conversation with Steve Wenzel on funding for MnSCU schools and its impact on Greater Minnesota. The history of tuition, for vocational schools in particular, lends some context to present-day funding issues. Steve is a longtime state legislator, former state director for USDA, and currently a professor at Central Lakes College in Brainerd.

What businesses want, part 3
When a business locates in one community, the benefits radiate out across the region, says Lisa Hughes, the southwest regional economic developer for the MN Department of Employment and Economic Development. This week, in the last part of our conversation with Lisa, we talk about how people like the idea of regionalism in their economic development, but the instinct for competition is still strong.

Looking for advice on upgrade from AGP 6600GT
I am trying to figure out what are my options for a AGP video card to upgrade from XFX 6600GT AGP for gaming purposes. I am a newbie at gaming and have been recently dabbling with Quake 4. I installed this card when it was considered to be one of the better cards out there. But at that time I never played anything! So now it got me thinking what AGP card could I upgrade to for higher quality rendering, without breaking the bank. Its a AMD +3200 System with 1GB ram. Quake seems to run ok at full native resolution of the Dell 2001fpw monitor at High quality. With Ultra quality setting it starts to choke. I know if I had a PCI-e system i would have many options. But right now I am not planning on a new box. Looking for some advice from more experienced folks than myself. many thanks
iTunes problem

Congress on Aug. 1 convened yet another hearing examining the potential implications of the sweeping budget cuts headed for Washington, but in this case unusually partisan comments from a White House official sparked fierce debate over who's to blame for sequestration.
In a House Armed Services Committee hearing that stretched nearly three hours, lawmakers clashed with Office of Management and Budget Director Jeffrey Zients after Zients blamed Congress for the potentially disastrous fallout looming ahead once sequestration takes effect. Close to an hour and a half of the hearing involved near-unintelligible shouting matches, mainly between Zients and Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) and Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).
In a particularly hostile exchange, Forbes pressed Zients on whether he believes "draconian defense cuts" are a sensible way to drive agreement between the two parties on Capitol Hill. Zients in turn pointed the finger at Congress.
"What is holding up now is the Republican refusal to have the wealthiest 2 percent pay their fair share," Zients said.
The hearing, in which Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter also appeared, was slated to discuss planning – or lack thereof – of how sequestration may be implemented if and when the $1.2 trillion in across-the-board cuts to federal spending are enacted in January. In the end, little was said to address that issue specifically, with both Zients and Carter saying that because opportunities exist to reverse the cuts, it's too early for detailed planning.
"We don't want to begin taking actions now to tear ourselves to pieces to prepare for something that's really stupid," Carter said.

Zients warned that if sequestration does go into effect, its occurrence in the middle of the fiscal year could mean that cuts estimated at 10 percent for the Defense Department and 8 percent for the rest of the government could end up being as high as 14 percent.
"Sequestration is a blunt, indiscriminate instrument designed to force congressional action on achieving a balanced deficit reduction plan," Zients noted in his testimony. "It is not the responsible way for our nation to achieve deficit reduction."
The bickering went well beyond just sequestration, with arguments ensuing over tax rates, President Obama's 2013 budget and other unrelated issues.
At the end, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) apologized to Zients and Carter for what he deemed to be a waste of their time.
"I'm sorry that we dragged you from your governing responsibilities into this spectacle," Johnson said.
In an e-mail statement issued shortly after the hearing, Gordon Adams, American University School of International Service professor and former senior White House official for national security budgets, derided the morning's turn of events.
"Today's HASC hearing on sequester became the predictable political theater its organizers intended: a partisan food fight over what would happen and who was responsible," Gordon said. "Let there be no mistake: Sequester is not good planning or good budgeting. It is survivable, however, if the policy-makers are so determined to avoid agreement that they let it happen."

@USAF "Modernize/advance US infrastructure". Remember in March of 2009 President Obama made this same claim if we'd just pass the $787B stimulus bill? At the time a spending bill this large was unheard of, but he promised "shovel ready projects" as well as modernizing our "crumbling" infrastructure. Well, where did the $787B go? And this is the best part, we the taxpayer will have to pay this back (this is why we have over a trillion dolar deficit, this and Obamacare). This was a Democrat bill. Only one or two Republicans voted for it. You have an excellent idea, but we already modernized our crumbling infrastructure with this massive Democrat spending bill signed into law in March 2009. Can't you see it all around you? When President Obama's mouth is moving, he's probably lying.
Recognize that so many people repeat what they see on television, but can't relate it to your own budget. Your budget is composed of a home, food, transportation, healthcare, and the nitnoid of miscellaneous expenses that support all the above. At a point where you've maxed all your credit cards and are considering bankruptcy, you have ultimately 2 choices: 1) File, or 2) a. make more money, b. spend less money. The gov't faces this basic fundamental analogy. We must find a way to do both 2a + 2b. As a gov't or corporation we've been finding ways to do #1 and still being allowed to pay large salaries for failures and most sick of all is to be allowed to borrow the next day more money through QE and issuance of new stock if your a "so-called" reinvented company (i.e. GM, AIG). This day should have marked the day when every American was given a free pass where all their bills/mortgages/loans were ZERO'd out. Much like "TO BIG TO FAIL" corporations who now make BBBBillions per QTR...yes per QTR. Suggestions: Modernize/advance U.S. infrastructure...build it and they will come mentality (this does not mean bridges to nowhere). Reduce subsidies across the board, not just on energy, gov't handouts especially. We must make America hungry again, give them the tools not the handout...it will drive creativity, productivity, and capitalism which equals job creation
IF sequestration happens, it is simply because Congress failed to do its job starting last year. It was the special Committee that presented us with this ticking time bomb, and only Congress has the authority to prevent it from blowing us all up. We, the public, are being held hostage by our elected representatives - made to watch more of their petty temper tantrums. Where are the adults?
Sadly, even the sequestration amounts don't begin to address the problem, which is bigger than the entire discretionary budget. The only way out is to have both components on the table: tax increases, and program cuts. Both of these elements have been defined as 'toxic' by the parties because of the upcoming elections. The short term has won, yet again, over the long-term fiscal health of the nation.
You have to love it when Congress refuses to take responsibility for their own actions. It like listening to inmates. Everyone is innocent.

Shaolin Temple – the world-famous birthplace of Chinese Kung Fu – was attacked by computer hackers twice this month, reflecting long-standing ill feeling about the temple's aggressive commercial activities in recent years.

text: Home > Medical > Depression > About depression Updated 25 September 2015 Electroconvulsive therapy effective? Electroconvulsive therapy is an effective short-term treatment for depression. 0 A large-scale review of previous studies suggests electroconvulsive therapy is an effective short-term treatment for depression.ECT has been around since the 1930s, but doctors still hold a wide range of opinions on its effectiveness and safety. While some believe the treatment is ineffective and can lead to brain damage, others feel it is perfectly safe and the best treatment currently available in psychiatry. The result has been substantial geographical differences in the use of the treatment.Researchers from Oxford University searched the medical literature for studies done over the years on ECT. Specifically, they collected research comparing ECT with a sham ECT treatment, ECT with pharmacotherapy, and different forms of ECT with each other. All patients suffered from depression. The review included 73 studies. Results showed a significant benefit of ECT over the sham treatment and pharmacotherapy. In the comparison of different forms of ECT, bilateral ECT was more effective than unipolar ECT and high-dose ECT was more effective than low-dose ECT. The analysis also showed, however, an increased risk for cognitive impairments in patients treated with ECT. Patients who received treatments three times a week had greater impairments than those receiving treatments twice a week. The cognitive impairments associated with ECT were mainly limited to changes in memory, such as temporary amnesia. The investigators conclude ECT should be delivered only in centres with staff qualified to deliver the treatment. Patients should be informed about the risks and benefits of the procedure.
