Attachment disorder The term attachment disorder is most often used to describe emotional and behavioral problems of young children, but is sometimes applied to school-age children or even to adults. The specific difficulties implied depend on the age of the individual being assessed, and a child's attachment-related behaviors may be very different with one familiar adult than with another, suggesting that the disorder is within the relationship and interactions of the two people rather than an aspect of one or the other personality.[1] No list of symptoms can legitimately be presented but generally the term attachment disorder refers to the absence or distortion of age appropriate social behaviors with adults. There are currently two main areas of theory and practice relating to the definition and diagnosis of attachment disorder, and considerable discussion about a broader definition altogether.

March on Washington lessons: Four ways to beat 'The Man' University of California, Davis, Police Lt. John Pike uses pepper spray to break up Occupy UC Davis protesters on the school's quad in Davis, California, on November 18, 2011. This image sparked controversy amid the Occupy protests and fueled the flames for protestors. A judge ruled last week that the university must pay Pike $38,000 in workers' compensation for the depression and anxiety he suffered as a result of the backlash from the incident.

Eminem Feat. Nate Dogg - Shake That Ass For Me LYRICS HQ HD DIRTY Bloomberg seeks mandatory fingerprinting for NYC public housing residents Published time: August 17, 2013 09:38 Edited time: August 18, 2013 13:42 Reuters / Shannon Stapleton The 620,000 residents living in public housing projects should be fingerprinted as a crime-prevention measure, said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but many city residents protest that the proposal is an invasion of privacy. Bloomberg, 71, who has acquired a reputation for promoting controversial ideas, including imposing a ban on the sale of large soft drinks, says his latest proposal will make public housing safer. “The people that live (in public housing), most of them, want more police protection,” the three-time mayor said on his weekly WOR radio broadcast Friday. He added: “What we really should have is fingerprinting to get in, since there’s an allegation that some of the apartments aren’t occupied by the people who originally have the lease.” “We’ve just got to find some way to keep bringing crime down there.” “We live here all these years, I mean, what seems to be the problem?
Rationalization (making excuses) People rationalize for various reasons. Rationalization may differentiate the original deterministic explanation of the behavior or feeling in question.[3][4] Sometimes rationalization occurs when we think we know ourselves better than we do. It is also an informal fallacy of reasoning.[5] According to the DSM-IV, rationalization occurs "when the individual deals with emotional conflict or internal or external stressors by concealing the true motivations for his or her own thoughts, actions, or feelings through the elaboration of reassuring or self serving but incorrect explanations." Rationalization can be used to avoid admitting disappointment: "I didn't get the job that I applied for, but I really didn't want it in the first place." Rationalizations often take the form of a comparison. "At least [what occurred] is not as bad as [a worse outcome]." Egregious rationalizations intended to deflect blame can also take the form of ad hominem attacks or DARVO. "Why disclose the error?
Laissez-faire Etymology and usage[edit] Legend has it that the term laissaez faire originated in a meeting that took place around 1681 between powerful French Comptroller-General of Finances Jean-Baptiste Colbert and a group of French businessmen headed by a certain M. Le Gendre. The anecdote on the Colbert–Le Gendre meeting appeared in a 1751 article in the Journal économique, written by French minister and champion of free trade René de Voyer, Marquis d'Argenson—also the first known appearance of the term in print.[3] Argenson himself had used the phrase earlier (1736) in his own diaries, in a famous outburst: Laissez faire, telle devrait être la devise de toute puissance publique, depuis que le monde est civilisé ... Before d'Argenson or Gournay, P. "The physiocrats, reacting against the excessive mercantilist regulations of the France of their day, expressed a belief in a "natural order" or liberty under which individuals in following their selfish interests contributed to the general good.
Freedom of the press With respect to governmental information, any government may distinguish which materials are public or protected from disclosure to the public based on classification of information as sensitive, classified or secret and being otherwise protected from disclosure due to relevance of the information to protecting the national interest. Many governments are also subject to sunshine laws or freedom of information legislation that are used to define the ambit of national interest. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers" Status of press freedom worldwide[edit] Beyond legal definitions, several non-governmental organizations use other criteria to judge the level of press freedom around the world: Worldwide press freedom index[edit] 2013 Press Freedom Index[1] Freedom of the Press[edit]
Turkey - Number of journalists convicted in Ergenekon trial rises to 20 Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation. Several Turkish nationalist media have reported that some of their journalists were among the approximately 250 people who received sentences in the main “Ergenekon” trial on 5 August (see below). This has brought the number of journalists and essayists convicted in the case to 20. In addition to the journalists named in its 5 August press release, Reporters Without Borders has learned that the following were convicted: Mehmet Bozkurt, editor in chief of the daily Aydinlik (sentenced to nine years and three months in prison) Özlem Konur Usta, Aydinlik social issues editor (six years and three months) Ruhsar Senoglu, former Aydinlik editor in chief (eight years and one month) Hayati Özcan, Aydinlik reporter (10 years and 11 months) Ufuk Akkaya, head of news at Ulusal Kanal TV (eight years and two months). Other cases have been reported but have to be confirmed. Long prison sentences
Manning sentenced to 35 years: while he is unfree, so are ALL Americans Bradley Manning has been sentenced to 35 years imprisonment (minus parole and time served), so robbing him of the best years of his life. His life so far, as recent testimony has shown, has been – well, shit. And, now it will be shittier, with more solitary confinement for his own safety, more bullying, more beatings and more psychological torture. Note 1: Amnesty International has already responded with a demand that Manning be immediately pardoned – see full text below. Note 2: Manning can subtract more than three and a half years off of the sentence for the time he has already served and the mere 112 days he was credited for enduring torture while detained at the Quantico Marine Brig. Bradley Manning was bullied by his father, who was an alcoholic and who pushed him into the army, which in retrospect was clearly not the environment suited to Manning’s disposition. Earlier in the week, Manning’s defense lawyer, David Coombs, described Manning as a “young man,” an “intelligent man.
He Was a Crook - Hunter S. Thompson "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." ---Revelation 18:2 Richard Nixon is gone now, and I am poorer for it. He was the real thing -- a political monster straight out of Grendel and a very dangerous enemy. He could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time. I have had my own bloody relationship with Nixon for many years, but I am not worried about it landing me in hell with him. Nixon laughed when I told him this. It was Richard Nixon who got me into politics, and now that he's gone, I feel lonely. That was Nixon's style -- and if you forgot, he would kill you as a lesson to the others. Nixon was a navy man, and he should have been buried at sea. These come in at least two styles, however, and Nixon's immediate family strongly opposed both of them. It was all gibberish, of course. Shit.
7 Influential Women Who Failed Before They Succeeded "Looking back at my own life, there are the things that can trip us up and dampen that spirit," Arianna Huffington told graduating high school seniors last year. "The first thing is failure -- or even the fear of failure." But an important part of achieving what we set out to do -- and something that seems to be particularly difficult for women -- is overcoming bumps in the road we may experience along the way. We forget that failure is often a necessary part of eventual success. In order to remind ourselves of this, we've gathered the stories of seven fearless women who experienced failure before ultimately becoming legends in their respective fields. 1. Lucile Ball is now remembered as the first woman to run a major television studio (she gained full control of Desilu Productions in 1962) and the winner of most every major entertainment industry award (including 13 Emmy nominations and four wins), but her success was hardly immediate. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
