Neighbors Treating Neighbors For Depression And Alcoholism

"Alan Kazdin, a professor of psychology at Yale University, says the information gained from the studies should go beyond India. "The research is very clear," he says. "Effective treatment does not require professional degrees." The studies "should be used to change mental health care in the world and not be just elegant scientific demonstrations." The first place on Kazdin's list is the U.S., where many people with mental illness do not have access to care."

Obama: Romney called Russia our top geopolitical threat

""Gov. Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida. You said Russia ... the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years," Obama said." Personal political preferences aside, I'm giving this to Romney.

How Cubans Live as Long as Americans at a Tenth of the Cost

"The system requires around twice as many primary-care doctors per capita as we have in the U.S., made possible because the country also invested in medical education, creating in 1998 what U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called “the world’s most advanced medical school.” Cuba has become known for training not just domestic doctors, but those from around the world—and sending its doctors to help other, wealthier countries when needed. During the recent Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone, more than 100 Cuban doctors and nurses were at the front lines."

Underground Airlines

I really enjoyed the book "Underground Airlines," about an alternate history where Lincoln was assassinated in 1861 and four US states never abandoned slavery. There was some controversy because the author, Ben Winters, is white, and the main character, an escaped slave who has been forced to work as a bounty hunter, is black. Nevertheless, this book made me think about slavery and racism, as well as the cruel, contemporary forms slavery assumes when shaped by post-Fordist capitalism.

The Way Out of Trumpland: Hail Mary Pass to Save the Nation.

"However, Baca, and an increasing number of the 538 electors, have something else in mind: a grand compromise, if you will, that would help unify the country. They are hoping to persuade a total of 270 Democratic and Republican electors to change their votes — that is not to vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump — but for a to-be agreed-upon compromise moderate Republican candidate. By doing so, that person would become the 45th President of the United States. This growing group of Electoral College electors are calling themselves “Hamilton Electors,” after Alexander Hamilton, whose writings in The Federalist Papers led to the formation of the Electoral College.

The Latest: Utah stabbings happened in boy's locker room

At 7:47 Orem dispatch received a call about a stabbing at Orem high school. We saw a news story at 8:30. The district robocalled us at 9:00 a.m. Our children only texted after we contacted them. Remind me why we gave them phones? I'm just glad the stabber only had a 3-inch pocket knife and not a gun. Joey wanted to be checked out because he only had "non-important" classes left, and Desi wanted to stay at school because she has a lot of homework and orchestra practice.

5 Reasons Why Trump Will Win

"And this is where the math comes in. In 2012, Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes. Add up the electoral votes cast by Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It’s 64. All Trump needs to do to win is to carry, as he’s expected to do, the swath of traditional red states from Idaho to Georgia (states that’ll never vote for Hillary Clinton), and then he just needs these four rust belt states. He doesn’t need Florida. He doesn’t need Colorado or Virginia. Just Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And that will put him over the top. This is how it will happen in November." The election was Hillary needed 52 more electoral votes to win. (29) Florida: 128,863 votes (20) Pennsylvania: 67,902 votes (16) Michigan: 15,611 votes (10) Wisconsin: 26,788 votes (18) Ohio: 454,983 With the exception of Ohio, a handful of voters (either the ones that voted or the ones who stayed home) decided this election.

Strong’s Burnett corrected him, saying everyone can read Trump’s tweets. "And I’m still in this thing?" Baldwin’s Trump responded, clearly surprised. "America, you must really hate this lady."

37th World Series Game 7 Represents a Rare Opportunity for Cubs or Indians

A Group of Computer Scientists Believes a Trump Server Was Communicating With a Russian Bank

Probably just a weird coincidence. "In the world of DNS experts, there’s no higher authority. Vixie wrote central strands of the DNS code that makes the internet work. After studying the logs, he concluded, “The parties were communicating in a secretive fashion. The operative word is secretive. This is more akin to what criminal syndicates do if they are putting together a project.” Put differently, the logs suggested that Trump and Alfa had configured something like a digital hotline connecting the two entities, shutting out the rest of the world, and designed to obscure its own existence. Over the summer, the scientists observed the communications trail from a distance." paging Paul M Chastain
