Wal-Mart workers' second strike in five days spreads to nine states

The bad news got worse yesterday for Wal-Mart. On Oct. 4, employees at several stores in California staged a walkout, the first such incident in the company’s 50-year history. Today, workers not just in California, but also Texas, Washington, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Florida, Kentucky and Minnesota went on strike. Some workers are also planning to demonstrate on Wednesday outside Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., when the company hosts its annual investor meeting. The strikes are the latest in a battle against the company’s fierce decades-long resistance to organized labor. OUR Wal-Mart, a group of employees behind the strikes, is campaigning for improved work conditions, benefits and wages.

Many of us go shopping there two to three times a week just so we can get all the staples of our daily living in one place. We don't even think about our neighbors, whose business's are no longer or the ones that work at the store it self. Haven't you ever wondered about that person in the blue vest? Well I can tell you this their not as happy as their face leads on. How can they? when when their hours are kept short, constant penalization and if your a woman 20% less pay than your male counter-parts.

March on my brothers and sisters that stand against the social in-justice of corporate greed. Best wishes an Solidarity from your brothers and sisters in the socialist movement.

yellow light

If yellow light is normal,then red is dangerous and green is unrealistically optimistic. Salutations

and greetings from the misguided and misunderstood, I am the one that most people avoid because their

not sure how I'll respond or what mood I'm in, their Probably sensing that I don't Trust myself.

Now, depending on which one of the doctors that have tried to diagnose me you'll get that I have anger

issues, depression, or undetermined. To tell you the truth I believe that I'm Bi-polar.

Bipolar disorder or bipolar affective disorder (historically known as manic-depressive disorder) is a psychiatric diagnosis for a mood disorder in which people experience disruptive mood swings that encompass a frenzied state known as mania (or hypomania) and, usually, symptoms of depression.

Bipolar disorder is defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive episodes. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes, or symptoms, or a mixed state in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time.^[1] These events are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood; but, in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid cycling. Severe manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations. The disorder has been subdivided into bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymia, and other types, based on the nature and severity of mood episodes experienced; the range is often described as the bipolar spectrum.

Estimates of the lifetime prevalence of bipolar disorder vary, with studies typically giving values of the order of 1%, with higher figures given in studies with looser definitions of the condition.^[2] The onset of full symptoms generally occurs in late adolescence or young adulthood. Diagnosis is based on the person's self-reported experiences, as well as observed behavior. Episodes of abnormality are associated with distress and disruption and an elevated risk of suicide, especially during mixed and depressive episodes. In some cases, it can be a devastating long-lasting disorder. In others, it has also been associated with creativity, goal striving, and positive achievements. There is significant evidence to suggest that many people with creative talents have also suffered from some form of bipolar disorder.^[3] It is often suggested that creativity and bipolar disorder are linked.

Genetic factors contribute substantially to the likelihood of developing bipolar disorder, and environmental factors are also implicated. Bipolar disorder may be a polygenic disease.^[4] Bipolar disorder is often treated with mood stabilizing medications and, sometimes, other psychiatric drugs. Psychotherapy also has a role, often when there has been some recovery of the subject's stability. In serious cases, in which there is a risk of harm to oneself or others, involuntary commitment may be used. These cases generally involve severe manic episodes with dangerous behavior or depressive episodes with suicidal ideation. There are widespread problems with social stigma, stereotypes, and prejudice against individuals with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.^[5] People with bipolar disorder exhibiting psychotic symptoms can sometimes be misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia, another, different, serious mental illness.^[6]

The current term bipolar disorder is of fairly recent origin and refers to the cycling between high and low episodes (poles). A relationship between mania and melancholia had long been observed, although the basis of the current conceptualisation can be traced back to French psychiatrists in the 1850s. The term "manic-depressive illness" or psychosis was coined by German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin in the late nineteenth century, originally referring to all kinds of mood disorder. German psychiatrist Karl Leonhard split the classification again in 1957, employing the terms unipolar disorder (major depressive disorder) and bipolar disorder.
