A nursemaid  (or nursery maid) is a mostly historical term for a female domestic worker who cares for children within a large household. The term implies that she is an assistant to an older and more experienced employee, a role usually known as nurse or nanny. A family wealthy enough to have multiple servants looking after the children would have a large domestic staff, traditionally within a strict hierarchy, and a large house (or possibly several, such as the townhouse and country house) with nursery quarters.

History
The term 'nursemaid' has wide historical use, mostly related to servants charged with the actual care of children. In ancient usage, the terms 'nursemaid' and 'nurse' (as, for example, the character in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet) are largely interchangeable. Everything that a parent ordinarily might do, especially the more onerous tasks, could be turned over to a nursemaid. Feeding very young children and supervising somewhat older children at meal times, seeing that the children are dressed properly, watching over the children as they play outside, and other such tasks could be left to a nursemaid.

Victorian nursery maid
The title 'Nursery Maid' refers to a specific role within the hierarchy of a great house. In the 21st century, the position is largely defunct, owing to the relatively small number of households who maintain large staffs with the traditional hierarchy. In the Victorian household, the children's quarters were referred to as the 'nursery', but the name of the responsible servant had largely evolved from 'nurse' to 'nanny'. The Nursery Maid was a general servant within the nursery, and although regularly in the presence of the children, would often have a less direct role in their care. The nursery maid reported to the nanny (or nurse) and assisted her in taking care of the children of the employer's family, her duties including tidying and maintaining the nursery, lighting the nursery fires, and carrying meals, laundry, and hot water between the nursery, kitchen, and scullery. It was a junior role for young girls, working under the supervision of the experienced and usually older nanny. Nursery Maids wore a uniform, similar to the other maids in the household. In 1845 the satirical magazine Punch published a guide to domestic servants in which it suggested that any girl could undertake the duties of a Nursery Maid, as every girl had the requisite training of "snubbing and slapping" either her own siblings, or the siblings of other people. Domestic service agencies supplied nursery maids and sometimes gave basic training, for which popular manuals were also published.

Relationships
By reason of their close involvement in most if not all the daily affairs of the children, including maintaining proper standards of behaviour, nannies and nursemaids might easily establish the close kind of relationship with the children that a mother would herself ordinarily form. In many cases this could lead to nannies being retained on the staff even after the children had grown up, or to nursemaids continuing to hold a responsible role for the adult child as a type of chaperone, as in the example of Juliet's nurse.

Public radio stations are rarely shy about funding sources, and NPR affiliate KCLU(FM) is no exception.
The station, located in Thousand Oaks, Calif., recently announced a $1 million gift from station members Linda and Dennis Fenton. The money is intended to bolster the California Lutheran University-licensed station's news coverage.
The Westlake, Calif.-based couple have made philanthropic donations in the past, and Linda Fenton is currently a member of the station's advisory board. Both have been station members since 1994, when the station went on the air.


What can you do in just 3 minutes?
I've been asking myself that question a lot lately.
This looks EXACTLY like our usual breakfast – only different!
It's really hard to think of much. Read a newspaper article? Maybe, if it's short. Take a quick shower? We often have to do that, what with us living in a house that seems remarkably uninfested by hot water.
Boil some water. Walk out to the mailbox. Maybe unload the groceries from the car. Answer a question on Jeopardy? Or, in my case, miss a question.
It's not much time to do anything. But I found out recently, that maybe I can do more with that small window of time than I ever imagined.
Mornings around our house aren't quite chaotic, but it's in the same zip code. My son and I are both morning people, so that helps. And I keep all the clocks in my house at least 5 minutes fast (a whole nother story) and that helps, too.
I'm in the kitchen, cooking breakfast, vitamins for my son, for me. Making a school lunch – wait, have I eaten any fruit this morning. Trash goes out (if needed), get the dishes washed (will be needed). Finish with the breakfast, pour some milk, add a banana, and – Taa-daa: breakfast is served.
And speaking of magic, my son then proceeds to make is breakfast disappear in a fraction of the time it took me to get it all ready. I found that frustrating at times, until he made a comment about it.
Wow. I would never have guessed. That the meal I made for him every morning was so important to him. Or that ANYONE actually liked my cooking.
But it's not the cooking that makes the difference. It's that time we can spend together before the demands and chaos of the day pulls us apart and sends us spiraling in our lives.
Three minutes. It's not much time. But sometimes that's all it takes to make a difference in the lives of those who are important to us.
Enjoyable reading. good to hear from you and Sam.
Mark, I really enjoyed reading this. Keep em coming.

Williamsburg's Newest Skyscraper Revealed at 159 Broadway, Adjacent to the Williamsburgh Savings Bank
8:00 am on January 16, 2019 By Michael Young
Flying under the radar for some time, excavation work on 159 Broadway Avenue is beginning to make some progress in Williamsburg. Today, YIMBY also has the first rendering for the impressively-scoped project, thanks to the construction fencing. Situated across from Peter Luger Steakhouse and immediately south of the Williamsburg Bridge, the site sits adjacent to the Williamsburgh Savings Bank. The 144-year old landmarked, domed structure will soon be surpassed by its future 133,340 square foot, 277-foot tall neighbor. This upcoming tower is set to become one of the tallest buildings in the neighborhood. It is being designed by Stonehill & Taylor Architects and is being developed by Cornell Realty Management LLC.
LPC Approves Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburgh's Rebirth as Foundation Work Begins for 209 Havemeyer Street, Williamsburg

Williamsburg is an incredible tapestry of diverse architectural styles. One of the most prominent examples of its historic past is the Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburgh, located right by the first exit of the Williamsburg Bridge into Brooklyn, which ensures that hundreds of thousands of people see it every day. The building is about to be reborn thanks to Charney Construction and Development and Tavros Capital Partners, with a full restoration and refurbishment planned for the Bank, adjacent to which a new 22-story residential tower will also rise.

Fresh Renderings, $150 Million Construction Loan for Redevelopment of The Dime in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

The redevelopment of the Dime Savings Bank in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, will result in one of the neighborhood's tallest buildings, and today YIMBY has fresh renderings for the project, designed by Fogarty Finger Architects. Yesterday, The Real Deal reported that Charney Construction & Development and Tavros Capital Partners have acquired a $150 million loan to fund construction and renovation work on the historic bank and new 22-story tower. The developers purchased the site in March of 2016 for $80 million.
Charney Plans a 22-Story Mixed-Use Tower at 263 South 5th Street, Williamsburg

In March, Charney Construction and Development paid $80 million for one of the largest remaining residential development sites in Williamsburg. The one-acre site had belonged to the Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburgh, which unloaded all of its property except for the iconic Neo-Classical bank at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge.

The market has sort of lulled investors to sleep as of late. A very tight range met with low trading volume made for a very boring week. That's likely to change as earnings season gets into full swing. Traders will quickly be reacting to earnings reports, using guidance to try and figure out the next big thing. Today's Bear of the Day is a stock that has seen some negative earnings estimate revisions as of late. It may be one to avoid heading into this next season.
I'm talking about Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) Caesars Entertainment (CZR). Caesars Entertainment Corporation, through its subsidiaries, provides casino-entertainment and hospitality services in the United States and internationally. The company operates 39,000 slot machines and 2,700 table games, as well as other games comprising keno, poker, and race and sports books; and approximately 180 buffets, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and lounges located throughout its casinos, as well as banquets and room service. As of December 31, 2018, it had 50 casinos, including 37 casinos in the United States and 13 casinos internationally with approximately 3 million square feet of gaming space and 40,000 hotel rooms.
The reason for the negative Zacks Rank lies in a series of negative earnings estimate revisions. Over the last sixty days, four analysts have cut their estimates for the current quarter while six have followed suit for the current year. The negative moves have pushed down our Zacks Consensus Estimates down from a loss of 9 cents to a loss of 17 cents for the current quarter, while the current year number is off from a 10-cent loss to a 42 cent-loss.
Investors looking for other stocks in the same industry should dig a little further on two Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stocks. Both Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and PlayAGS (AGS) currently have this Zacks Rank.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Thanks to a freshman running back who wasn't supposed to start, South Florida avoided another season-opening letdown.
Marlon Mack rushed for 275 yards and four touchdowns in his college debut, helping the Bulls come from behind to beat Western Carolina 36-31 on Saturday night.
Filling in for injured starter Darius Tice, Mack scored on runs of 62, 60, 56 and 2 yards while matching the school single-game rushing record for the Bulls (1-0), who rallied from a 14-3 deficit to keep from their season opener to a Football Championship Subdivision team for the second straight year.
Troy Mitchell completed 46 of 66 passes for 374 yards and two TDs for Western Carolina (0-1), which has lost 22 consecutive road games. The quarterback scored on a 4-yard run and Darius Ramsey added a 2-yarder for the Catamounts, who led 17-16 before fading in the second half.
Mack's second TD gave USF its first lead, 23-17, late in the third quarter. Mike White set up his third TD with a couple of long pass completions, and the 195-pound running back put the game out of reach with his 56-yard burst after Western Carolina pulled within 30-24 with six minutes remaining.
Mitchell kept it close by throwing fourth-quarter TD passes of 6 yards to Spearman Robinson and 5 yards to Terryon Robinson, who finished with 15 receptions for 121 yards.
After going 2-10 in their first season under coach Willie Taggart, including a 53-21 loss to FCS opponent McNeese State, the Bulls are hoping for a turnaround similar to one Taggart led at Western Kentucky three years ago.
Taggart inherited a program at his alma mater that had dropped 20 consecutive games when he returned to the Hilltoppers in 2010. The team won just two games that season, but followed with a 7-5 record that represented the biggest one-year improvement in Sun Belt Conference history.
USF, which snared the top recruiting class in the American Athletic Conference last winter, feels it's poised for an about-face, too.
While Mack had an impressive debut, the Bulls also are counting heavily on White, who started the last five games of 2013 as a true freshman. The Bulls lost all of those six — finishing the season on a six-game slide — but he clearly was the most effective of four starting quarterbacks Taggart used a year ago.
Western Carolina, which has never beaten a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent, will close its season at Alabama on Nov. 22. A year ago, the Catamounts faced three FBS opponents, losing at Auburn, Virginia Tech and Middle Tennessee by a combined score of 152-30.
Their 17-16 halftime advantage was their first lead on a FBS team that deep into a game. The margin would have been bigger if Mitchell hadn't made a poor throw to an open receiver in the end zone before Western settled for Richard Sigmon's 33-yard field goal late in the second quarter.
White completed 9 of 26 passes for 181 yards and one interception. Mack carried 24 times in tying the USF rushing record set by Andre Hall vs. UAB in 2004.
Western Carolina, which played without five players who were suspended for the opener, haven't won a road game since winning at The Citadel in October 2010. They've won four games total over the past three seasons, three of them against Division II Mars Hill.

Souvenir (Belgium-Luxembourg-France 2016)
Date: August 7, 2017Author: Roy Stafford 0 Comments
Isabelle Huppert as Liliane/Laura in one of her striking gowns as the chanteuse making a comeback
I never thought that I'd see a Francophone film at the Hebden Bridge Picture House with only 13 of us in the auditorium, especially one starring Isabelle Huppert (perhaps everyone came to the only other screening last week). The issue here is that Souvenir is one of those French films more or less 'dumped' in cinemas with little promotion by StudioCanal on its way to a swift DVD release (August 14 in the UK). But what a strange film it is! It may be that the distributor hopes to cash in on Huppert's high-profile success in Elle. On the other hand, this film was shown at the London Film Festival last October, presumably because the directors previous short films have been released on a BFI collection. If I'd seen it as part of the 'Love' section of LFF I would have thought it was out of place – but I would have enjoyed it.
La Huppert plays Liliane, a lonely woman working on a specialised production line in a paté factory. One day a young temporary worker, Jean (Kévin Azaïs – the male lead in Les combattants) recognises her as a singer who, under the stage name of 'Laura', once appeared in a Eurovision-type song contest forty years ago. Jean is only 22 and it is his father who has always been a fan, but now the younger man is attracted to Liliane. He wants to resurrect her career. Everything that follows is predictable, but also engaging.
Liliane with Jean (Kévin Azaïs) and his father (Jan Hammenecker )
I wondered if this was meant to be a 1930s musical romance presented in the style of . . . a 1930s musical romance. At times it seems very old-fashioned. Its use of colour and its nostalgic feel is in some ways reminiscent of Populaire (France-Belgium 2012) According to IMDb, Belgian writer-director Bavo Defurne has a background in short films and a single feature, North Sea Texas (2011), about young gay romances. Perhaps Souvenir is one of those examples of a small film that Isabelle Huppert supports for reasons of her own. I doubt any other star actor of her magnitude would take it on – or could take it on. It is almost the kind of role that Barbara Stanwyck might have taken (and I can't think of higher praise than that).
This is a co-production in which different scenes are shot in different European regions so that local funding is triggered. I thought I recognised a riverside scene as shot in Liège and sure enough both Liège itself and the Wallonie Film Fund appeared in the credits alongside Ostende and Bruxelles. I think this is really a Belgian film and I don't know if this explains the humour. I laughed out loud several times. The music in the film comes mainly from Pink Martini, a US 'mini-orchestra' whose players are well-known in Europe. Pink Martini released a 2016 album including the two main songs from the film and the album's title is the key phrase from the song that Laura/Liliane sings in her comeback, 'Je dis oui !' – the woman who says 'Yes' to all the charms of her young man. Jean has trained as a boxer and has the muscles to prove it. My guess is that Bavo Defurne (one of the co-writers of the song) is making a reference to that scene in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (US 1953) when Jane Russell explores a gymful of muscled Olympic athletes on her transatlantic sea crossing.
Liliane with her former husband and manager Tony Jones (Johan Leysen)
I can't claim to know enough about the history of chanson but for me the music in Souvenir seemed more like the 1960s than 1974 (when ABBA won Eurovision, as quoted in the film). Liliane's song 'Joli Garçon' (Pretty Boy) is actually very catchy and it might indeed do well in Eurovision. Defurne uses it skilfully in 'Souvenir' – which in turn is the title of the song that 'Laura' is supposed to have sung in 1974.
Anything starring Isabelle Huppert is worth watching and, taken in the right spirit, Souvenir is entertaining. The director has said that he hoped to produce a 'Sunday TV matinee movie' and that seems a reasonable description – except that in the UK the subtitles will probably prevent it happening.

Why the DOJ's 2257 Regulations Aren't "Just a Porn Problem"
By Kurt Opsahl
On June 23, new regulations from the Department of Justice went into effect, dramatically expanding the reach of a statute, 18 U.S.C. § 2257, intended to regulate the adult entertainment industry. Now it includes every blogger, online journalist, and website owner who displays any image falling under the law's broad (and vague) definition of "sexually explicit" materials.
How? The new regulations expand the definition of a so-called "secondary producer" of materials to include anyone "who inserts on a computer site or service a digital image of" sexually explicit conduct. If you're a blogger or you host a website and write an online article or personal ad with a photo that falls under that definition, that means you.
It's easy to see how quickly this requirement could stop lots of legitimate speech and expression, covering material that's well outside the basic definitions of commercial porn. Consider the blogger who writes a post on the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal and wants to post some of the existing or soon to be released sexually explicit photos of prisoner abuse. (Even if the pictures were blurred, under 18 U.S.C. § 2256, the regulations would likely still apply, since the definition of "sexually explicit conduct" includes "sadistic or masochistic abuse.")
Under the new regulations, the blogger:
is a "secondary producer" and required to keep records of the ages of the participants and copies of their photo IDs; and
is required to list a street address where the government may inspect these records without notice (and keep it open 20 hours a week for at least the next five years).
For the Abu Ghraib photos, since records of the "participants" are not available (at least not outside the US military), the record-keeping requirements could not be met, and the blogger could face criminal liability for posting the images. This will unconstitutionally chill protected speech -- indeed, in this example, core political speech.
(Other examples of chilled speech include blogging about Jeff Gannon's explicit escort advertisements, or critical commentary about pornography using actual samples.)
Aside from record-keeping headaches, the privacy and anonymous speech implications for both the poster and any person depicted in such photos are severe. For someone depicted in such images, your photo ID must be made available to anyone who reposts your photos. For a regulation designed to protect people whose photos are taken, this is an absurd rule -- making a treasure trove of information easily available to stalkers and other sickies.
For online sites, a statement giving the location of these records must be displayed on a site's homepage, ending your right to blog anonymously. And it gets worse. The location where the records are kept must remain "available" to law enforcement for unannounced inspection for at least 20 hours per week. Blog out of your home, and you have effectively lost your Fourth Amendment rights.
EFF believes that this warrantless inspection requirement illegally forces bloggers and others to sacrifice a constitutional right -- freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures -- in order to exercise the fundamental rights of freedom of speech and the press. It's a tradeoff that the government should not force people to make.
The Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, has filed a lawsuit challenging the regulations, and reached a temporary deal protecting only its members from enforcement actions until the court rules on its motion for a preliminary injunction. EFF will be watching that case closely and helping where we can.
But the adult entertainment industry is not the only group that should be concerned. These regulations are a problem for everyone who wishes to keep the Internet a vibrant forum for debate. In our experience, regulations like these can be a potent weapon in discouraging individuals from using the Internet to share or discuss the opinions of others. Most people will steer clear of anything even close to what the government calls "sexually explicit" to avoid having to keep these records, open their homes to inspection, and reveal their home addresses to the world.
EFF is drafting a new section on adult material for our Legal Guide for Bloggers, so we can help you understand these regulations and defend your free speech rights.

NHS care.data scheme closed after years of controversy
NHS England was criticised for poorly explaining the purpose of the scheme after more than one million people opted-out
Carl Court/Getty Images
The government's controversial care.data NHS information sharing scheme has been closed.
The decision, announced by minister for life sciences George Freeman, follows a review into safeguards around the sharing of patient data by National Data Guardian Fiona Caldicott.
Though care.data has been closed, Freeman said NHS England and the government "remain absolutely committed to realising the benefits of sharing information" to improve patient care.
First announced in 2013, the NHS England programme aimed to bring together health and social care information from across the NHS for the benefit of "patient care". The pseudonymous data could then be used by researchers to develop new treatments and assess performance of NHS services.
A startup for NHS beds shows the dangers of following Silicon Valley
By Nicole Kobie
The beleaguered scheme faced almost relentless criticism since it was first announced three years ago. Concerns centred around the sharing of sensitive medical information with commercial companies without the explicit consent of patients. More than one million people opted out of the scheme.
Data on stays in NHS hospitals, known as hospital episode statistics, have been collected and analysed since 1989, but care.data proposed an expansion of this database to include GPs. Critics argued NHS England failed to communicate the purpose of the scheme.
Care.data was plagued by delays and controversies throughout its ill-fated existence. It was paused three times before eventually starting as a small-scale trial in four areas in June 2015, only for health secretary Jeremy Hunt to pause it again while Caldicott's review tok place.
Should the NHS share patient data with Google's DeepMind?
While the review didn't look into care.data specifically, its recommendations around proposed consent and opt-out models effectively killed-off the project.
Commenting on the report's findings, Professor Sheila Bird at Strathclyde University's Department of Mathematics and Statistics said: "Data-sharing as proposed by care.data was disastrously incompetent – both ethically and technically. Professionals rebelled and prevailed in outcasting care.data, thereby ensuring that future proposals will not succeed unless both technically proficient and in the public interest."
"We will only unlock the immense value of patient data if we have open and honest discussions about how and why data can be used for care and research, what's allowed and not allowed, and how personal information is safeguarded," added Dr Jeremy Farrar, director of The Wellcome Trust.
The news of care.data's demise comes just days after the NHS announced a second data-sharing project with Google-owned DeepMind. The agreement will allow DeepMind to train its artificial intelligence to spot diseases using one million anonymised eye scans from Moorfields Eye Hospital.
A similar deal between DeepMind and the Royal Free, Barnet and Chase Farm hospitals covering the past five years and continuing until 2017 was uncovered in May. The purpose of this data-sharing scheme, according to Google, is to develop a medical app to notify doctors if someone is at risk of developing acute kidney injury.
Current rules allow for such data to be shared so long as it is anonymised and being used on ethically approved projects, though this is not the case in DeepMind's agreement with the Royal Free, which still contains personal information. Patients can opt out of either DeepMind scheme by emailing the relevant Trust's data protection officer.

All Posts in "emdr"
17 August 2013, PTSD News Roundup
August 17, 2013 / no comments
Bad Science Department
Sometimes the names of the trauma-focused therapies that folks come up with make me shudder all by themselves, they're so weirdly Orwellian. That's the case for "reprogramming therapy," of which Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is being hyped as the latest and greatest "cure." Here's the headline: "Scottish nurses are to be trained in a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder that works by reprogramming the brains of combat veterans." Though it sounds like a kind of Orwellian brainwashing, it's yet another version of Francine Shapiro's endlessly "promising" (no-longer-so-)new therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR and its variants have proved no more effective than any other trauma-focused therapy, which means they're moderately effective at relieving clinical symptoms in the short-term, for a very small segment of the population that suffers from PTSD (the 20% of women, and about 12% of men with no co-morbid psychological disorders). The description of how ART works is pretty weak: "The patient is asked to move their eyes back and forth while recalling traumatic events, a process which is thought to "unlock" the memory and enable the therapist to start a discussion aimed at detaching the associated negative emotions."
Since even variations on EMDR that don't use eye movements all seem to work about the same, it's pretty hard to argue convincingly that eye movements are the key to "unlocking" the memory. The idea of "unlocking" is purely metaphorical anyway, since there's no proof that the memory mechanism (whatever it is) "locks" or "unlocks" at all. Since we don't (even the neuroscientists) have good models for the mechanisms by which we remember, forget, revise or associate, "explanations" like the above are no better than "just so" stories, and often worse than no explanations at all. Sterling University of the UK is teaming up with University of South Florida (USF) to implement ART, which was developed at USF. The rationale is a an allegedly successful study "carried out among 80 war veterans in the US found that the proportion showing signs of PTSD fell from 90 per cent to 17 per cent after four sessions or fewer. (When I found the study, it did not seem to include any war veterans. See next paragraph.) Incidences of depression in the same group dropped from 80 per cent to 28 per cent." The people who report on science these days are so dim that they don't understand that stats like this are like giving half a baseball score. A drop from 90% to 17% sounds pretty stunning, but it sure would be nice to know the response rate in the control group (if there was a control group), if they accounted for the placebo effect, and if there was a follow-up study to find out if the treatment had lasting effect. So I poked around and looked for the study (not referenced in the article).
"Brief Treatment of Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by Use of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART®)" wasn't hard to find. It was published in June of this year in a relatively new open-access journal called Behavioral Sciences. It's so new that it's published a total of 45 articles and I can't find any record of its impact factor. This doesn't make it a bad journal, and it's from a reputable publisher, but a more robust study would have found a more prominent home. So let's see what the study says… 1) Those selected for the study suffered from PTSD, but veteran status was not a criteria for inclusion; 2) 77% of the subjects were women, and 29% were Hispanic: those numbers are not representative of the population of British veterans (none of the subjects appeared to be vets); 3) 17.5% of the subjects dropped out before the end of the study, and 18.2% of the remaining subjects dropped out before the 2-month followup, which means that they collected full data on less than 70% of the full group of participants (54 people); 4) they excluded substance abusers (which would exclude 64%-84% of veterans with PTSD); 5) there was no control group, and all therapists were trained in and administered only ART therapy, which means that the effect of researcher allegiance on the patient was unaccounted for; 6) all data was self-reported. So there is no way to know if the amazingly large effect they reported was due to ART or simply a product of entering any kind of very short-term trauma-focused treatment. Section 4.2, "Possible Therapeutic Mechanisms," is pretty funny. I've rarely seen a longer list of "may be.. postulate… may help… may occur… may simultaneously…" and so on. The chain of conjecture continues for miles. Some of it is just plain pseudoscientific gobbledygook: "… ART involves an additional therapeutic element known as the 'Director' intervention that directs the patient to establish a new narrative to address 'unfinished business' in much the way that Gestalt techniques are used experientially to achieve positive results. Success of the intervention is determined by the therapist asking the participant to pull up the original distressful [sic] images, and reporting being unable to do so." In light of the fact that the study did not include combat veterans, the final line of the paper is telling: "Future controlled studies with ART are warranted, particularly given its short treatment duration, and in light of current heightened emphasis on health care cost constraints, as well as the very large clinical burden of treatment of PTSD being experienced from the lengthy wars in Iraq and Afghanistan." To me, this just screams: "We're gonna sell this to the military!" And, of course, the military bought it: the DOD paid for the initial research, and now ART® (don't forget that trademark!) is a product now offered to British war veterans.
PTSD Made Them Do It!
In Denver, a military veteran named Daniel Abeyta was arrested for allegedly shooting two women and blowing up a propane tank. The CBS Denver headline was "Neighbors say shooting suspect is vet with PTSD," but that's not mentioned in the article until the final paragraph: "Neighbors said Abeyta… suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and is involved in a difficult marriage." It's always fun when your neighbors diagnose you for the news media and then the news affiliate headlines the hearsay. In other news, 43-year-old Dinalynn Inez Andrews Potter, a retired Navy vet, allegedly jumped on stage and clobbered elderly soul singer, Lester Chambers when he sang a song dedicated to murdered teenager Trayvon Martin. Apparently Potter's claim she has PTSD makes this "not a racial attack" in the eyes of the arresting officer, even though Potter yelled, "It's all your fault, you caused this shit," before she knocked the frail singer on his ass. This "It's not racism, it's PTSD" stuff is just silly. It's not like the two are mutually exclusive. PTSD doesn't change your political beliefs or give you prejudices you didn't have in the first place, even though it might remove your inhibitions to acting on them.
PTSD: The Futile Search for the "Quick Fix"
My new article on PTSD just appeared as a Guest Blog on Scientific American's web site. Please check it out. Here's the first paragraph as a teaser:
A few weeks ago an article in the Scientific American Twitter stream caught my eye. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) once again debuted as a "promising new treatment" for PTSD. EMDR, which has been repeatedly called "promising" over the last two decades, works only about as well for PTSD as other psychological treatment modalities with which it competes, primarily cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy. These so-called trauma focused treatments (TFT) all garner similar results. TFT have large effects in clinical trials, with two important caveats: 1) the enthusiasm of their various advocates bias the study results towards the treatment the researchers prefer; and, 2) they are effective for a significant number of carefully selected PTSD patients. The sad truth, however, is that current short-term treatments are not the solution for most patients with PTSD. Trial criteria often exclude those with comorbid disorders, multiple traumas, complex PTSD, and suicidal ideation, among others. Even when they are included, comorbid patients drop out of treatment studies at a much higher rate than those with simple PTSD, a problem that has implications for clinical practice….
The heart of the argument is that short term treatments are not effective for the vast majority of those with PTSD, and that violence prevention is the only real cure.


PAPCO plays a pivotal role in the High Speed Diesel (HSD) supply chain in Pakistan, providing the strategic infrastructure to transport HSD from Karachi to Shikarpur & Mahmoodkot. It is interconnected with both Port Qasim and Keamari Ports as well as with PRL, NRL and PARCO. It has the flexibility to receive imported and locally produced petroleum products from multiple sources and to deliver it at different demand centers. It provides the most reliable, efficient, economical, and environment friendly means of cross country transportation of High Speed Diesel.
The White Oil Pipeline was commercially commissioned in March 2005, comprising of 786 Km of 26" dia cross-country pipeline, storage tanks, pumps and other allied facilities.
The present transportation capacity of the system is 8 million tons per year which can be enhanced up to 12 million tons per year, when required in future.
Presently more than 5 million tons of Diesel is being transported annually through the PAPCO system.
The company has streamlined the supplies of High Speed Diesel (HSD) and has eliminated about 4000 road tankers, previously deployed for transporting HSD from Karachi to upcountry.
PAPCO has also provided additional strategic product storage of about 0.221 million tons to the country, thereby, improving the security of supplies.
PAPCO has an O&M agreement with PARCO which creates synergies in technical and management areas between PAPCO and PARCO resulting in professional and cost effective operation of the pipeline.

Syrian government gives approval for first wind farm project
6 January 2010 by Staff
SYRIA: Plans for Syria's first wind power project have been given the green light.
Syria approves first wind farm project
In November 2009 the country's electricity ministry launched a prequalification process to select an independent power producer to build, own and operate a 50-100 MW project for a period of 20-25 years.
The wind farm will be located at either Al-Sukhna, 70 kilometres east of Palymra, or Al-Hijana, 50 kilometres south-east of Damascus, or possibly split between the two sites.
Initial surveys indicate wind speeds average over 7 m/s and 6.7 m/s respectively, and both sites have plenty of room for expansion.
The state utility, the Public Establishment of Electricity for Generation & Transmission (PEEGT), will buy the electricity from the project under a guarantee from the Syrian government.
Bids to develop the project must be received by January 25. Shortlisted bidders will be announced in March. They will then have 12 months in which to carry out more detailed wind measurements, after which the ministry will issue a formal request for proposals (RFP).
Two further RFPs are expected in the near future, for 30 MW and 100 MW, to be built on an engineer, procure and construct (EPC) basis.
Syria is keen to diversify its electricity sector, which is based on fossil fuels and hydro. Studies by the National Energy Research Center (NERC) and Riso, the National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy at the Technical University of Denmark, indicate the country has a good wind resource and that renewables could provide up to 10.3% of total energy demand by 2030. In theory, Syria could have as much as 2.5 GW of installed wind power by then.
Meantime, a master plan for energy efficiency and renewable energies to 2030 is in the pipeline, with assistance from the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ).

Police sealed off an Exhall pub today after a gang of five men, one armed with a gun, carried out a raid.
Officers were alerted to the Lord Raglan, on the corner of Coventry Road and Bayton Road, at about 3.30am.
The landlord and another man were injured during the raid.
They were taken to Nuneaton?s George Eliot Hospital with minor head injuries.
As people arrived for work on the nearby Bayton Road Industrial Estate this morning, they were greeted by the sight of blue-and-white police ?crime scene? tape cordoning off the pub.
A police spokeswoman said: ?Inquiries are at a very early stage, but police were notified this morning that at around 3am five men entered the pub.
?One of the men carried what appeared to be a pistol of some sort.
?The men threatened the landlord and a male relative and assaulted them, resulting in minor head injuries.?
She said that after carrying out the raid, the gang fled, taking a grey Ford Fiesta XR2i - registration number H838 MRE - which is usually parked on the pub car park.
A red Ford Cougar was also seen, and police say it may be travelling with the Fiesta.
The spokeswoman added: ?It is unclear at this stage what property, if any, has been stolen in this incident.?
Detectives and forensic experts were expected to be at the pub for some time this morning as part of the investigation.
Anyone who spotted the cars leaving the area, or who has other information, is urged to call Warwickshire Police or the Crimestoppers hotline on 0800 555 111.


Arrrrgh! I feel so incredably old! Last Thursday my little sister turned 20! Like 2 decades old! How is this possible?!
It seems like only yesterday she was an impressively annoying and rather scary teenager and only last week that she was actually smaller than me and not a freakish giant!
Other than feeling ancient and tiny I've been getting severly irritated with my bruise ability.
Hope you guys aren't also having an age crisis. Happy Monday!
