A group of independent Palestinian MPs investigating the death in custody of a Hamas preacher say he was tortured.
Majed Barghouti, 42, died in February at a Palestinian Authority (PA) intelligence service base in Ramallah.
Hassan Khreishe, MP, said intelligence officers caused the death and urged the PA to punish those responsible.
The MPs viewed Mr Barghouti's body before burial, noting "torture marks" on the legs, back and arms. Security officials say he died of heart failure.
But the group of MPs said tests taken two days before Mr Barghouti's death had not revealed any heart problems.

Yeah, I did not do so well on them, either. Felt like I had squirrels running around in my brain. Very odd feeling. Although, I don't think I was really depressed, just having a natural reaction to shitty circumstances in my life. Not that I don't think meds are warranted in many cases, but I do think they're over-prescribed - got a problem, take a pill, etc..

From my experience, progressives tend to be more creative, therefore more susceptible to depression.
I notice with some hard core wingnuts that I've met, they are so sure about and so focused on what they believe, that nothing bothers them.
Maybe questioning things more has something to do with it. Things are less black & white for us. The realization that our own country that we love so much is a rogue state is sometimes hard to deal with. These things can weigh on us. We need to be more careful about our health an well being.

On the border of North and South Dakota, beautiful Depakote is known for it's extensive pinwheel collection and low, low hourly street parking fees!"
"Do you have dandruff, hair loss and gout? Then you need Tegretol! I helps clean you scalp of flakes.

Sallyh, it's hard not to feel guilty, I know, but you really shouldn't. Do you blame your own parents for your illness? Probably not. We all inherit things from our parents, whether genetic or habit; it's how we deal with them that makes the difference, I think.
And, yes, Elias, I think that you have a valid point there. If one is so sure of their worldview, it's going to take a lot more to shake them up, whereas if you're more open to possibilities, you tend to think too much, maybe take things too much to heart. I've thought the same thing about artist types; the more sensitive you are, the more susceptible you are to great variances in emotional stability.

I do 99% of that stuff, including lots of exercise, but still get depressed.
Fresh air and vegetables aren't always the answer.
No, no they're not. But then, you have to ask yourself, "Am I really depressed, or am I having a natural reaction to my circumstances." I think that a lot of what gets branded "depression" is simply "emotion," and in our society, any negative emotion, especially. Sometimes, it's completely natural to feel down, such as during/after a breakup, a death of a loved one, stressful financial times, etc. Not saying this is always the case either, as clinical depression and things like bipolar disorder are very real, and need to be treated with drugs, but, kind of like the over-diagnosis of ADD in kids, people can get carried away, and stuck on the easy fix of just taking a pill to make it better.

I know what you're feeling.
Maybe we've all felt this at one time or another.
Longing. Desperation. An answer.
Do you ever feel like just starting over somewhere? Is that just running away?
I think of how my mom started her life over by moving us to a different town. I know it was hard, but she did it for me and my brother.
I've always felt better when doing for others, working on a cause. Selflessness may be the only answer.

Drive the New 2010 Lexapro at Serramonte motors! With the new SSRI cruising system, potholes will seemingly vanish!
The Lexapro DXP was developed by scientists and shipping and receiving professionals. It is controlled by 100s of tiny multiprocessors that constantly monitor your ride. In addition to the luxury found only in fine European town cars, the Lexapro ER follows in the footsteps of the Celexia the world's first fuelcell/ biofuel hybrid.
"I'm SO happy with my Lexapro! The way multiprocessors can determine when to open the sun room with out any input from me is AMAZING. It's like the car knows what I'm thinking!"

I read a great book called The Paranoia Switch. How How Terror Rewires Our Brains and Reshapes Our Behavior--and How We Can Reclaim Our Courage http://www.amazon.com/Paranoia-S...r/dp/

It's really amazing. The author, Martha Stout, also wrote The Sociopath Next Door (I guess she lives at 1690 Pennsylvania Ave. )
She works with people who have PSTD and explains how the constant fear mongering on TV, in Radio and by the politicians actually impact the structure of our brain. It's an amazing book.

I also like some of the Rational emotive work that she draws upon. For your educational information for this evening (then I'm to bed) Cognitve Distortions
Checklist of Cognitive Distortions
1. All-or-nothing thinking: You look at things in absolute, black-and-white categories.
2. Over generalization: You view a negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
3. Mental filter- You dwell on the negatives and ignore the positives.
4 Discounting the positives: You insist that your accomplishments or positive qualities don't count.
5. Jumping to conclusions:
(A) Mind-reading--you arbitrarily assume that people are reacting negatively to you
(B) Fortune-telling--you arbitrarily predict that things will turn out badly.
6. Magnification or minimization: You blow things way out of proportion or you shrink their importance
7. Emotional reasoning: You reason from how you feel: "I feel like an idiot, so I must be one"
8 Should statements: You criticize yourself or other people with "shoulds," "shouldn'ts"
9. Labeling: Instead of saying "I made a mistake," you tell yourself, I'm a jerk" or "a loser" "a Toby troll"
10 Personalization and blame:
(A) You blame yourself for something you weren't entirely responsible for
(B) You blame other people and overlook ways that you contributed to a problem.

I've never understood why people in Tornado Alley don't build tornado-sympathetic houses. I'd make my house out of foam rubber, so if a strong wind came, the fucker would just bend over, and pop back up.
Or have it on pistons over a big frigging hole, so when the wind came, you could open a tap, and sink the whole structure underground.
Or just live underground, like they do in Coober Pedy Australia, or a combination of all three...
But instead, most people seem to live in trailers or matchstick-and-drywall shitboxes. That's nuts.

This semester, though, I was rather blindsided by a couple of new courses thrown at me by the department at the last minute--I could've refused, but I did want to teach them... but the last-minute thing has led to a crazy-ass time this spring.

Bid to end Zimbabwe poll silence
Zimbabweans wait in line for food in Harare on 4 April by a wall with election posters
Harare is still covered in election posters
Zimbabwe's main opposition, the MDC, is trying to apply for a court order to force electoral officials to release the presidential election result.
A spokesman said the MDC wanted the electoral commission to publish the result of last Saturday's poll within four hours of such an order.
The party believes its leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, defeated President Robert Mugabe in the ballot

Tony Snow on what happened in Basra: "The bad guys backed down because they were getting crushed".
Lying and nonsense come as naturally to these people as breathing. But then, they know their audience will believe anything that they say without question or thought.
I'm sure that Maliki let Al Sadr dictate the terms of the Iraqi governments surrender out of kindness, for his "backing down". I'm also sure the after Maliki announced that he was going after the militia's in Baghdad, and Al Sadr told him to back off, and Maliki then announced a freeze on raids on militias was just another sign of benevolence for Sadr's having "backed down" in Basra.
But if your audience is willing to be led around by the nose, why not tell them anything you want?

The cottages have all been sold, and more are being built to meet demand from Canadians, who are snapping up vacation homes in the U.S. as Americans watch their wallets and sell their second homes amid a housing crunch.

Dozens of officers
"More than 1,000 Iraqi soldiers and policemen either refused to fight or simply abandoned their posts during the inconclusive assault against Shiite militias in Basra last week, a senior Iraqi government official said Thursday. Iraqi military officials said the group included dozens of officers, including at least two senior field commanders in the battle."
