A Heavy Load: Teens and Homework Stress

Teens on average have more than 3 hours of homework a night. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for after-school fun or even sleep. Now experts are questioning whether the amount of homework is leading to harmful levels of stress in teens.

Anxiety & Phobia Workbook

Research conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health has shown that anxiety disorders are the number one mental health problem among American women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Approximately 15 percent of the population of the United States, or nearly 40 million people, have suffered from panic attacks, phobias, or other anxiety disorders in the past year. Nearly a quarter of the adult population will suffer from an anxiety disorder at some time during their life. Yet only a small proportion of these people receive treatment….. It is quite possible to overcome your problem with panic, phobias, or anxiety on your own through the use of the strategies and exercises presented in this workbook. Yet it is equally valuable and appropriate, if you feel so inclined, to use this book as an adjunct to working with a therapist or group treatment program.

Shannon Bream asks, Twitter answers: Resounding lack of confidence in Obama

http://twitter.com/#!/ShannonBream/status/247320131586387968

Fox News’ Shannon Bream asked for tweet replies to her question, “Are you more worried about Romney’s lack of foreign policy experience or the President’s current policies?” And, boy, did she receive them.

@ShannonBream Are you kidding me OBAMA had NO Foreign Experience when taking office and it show dramtically right now, Pot calling kettle BK

— Den Conte (@dvc007) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream @gretawire there's a policy?

— Kay Taylor (@KayTaylor3) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream the current policy? Do we have a current policy?

— Becki Quinney (@BeckiGQ) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream No Brainer. Obama is an unmitigated disaster. Worse than Carter.

— Jeff Crawford (@jwcprn) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream potus. Present disengagement, still has address the nation, busy campaigning like nothing happening? #ObamaIsntWorking

— sevo forane (@sevoforane1) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream Romney has a backbone, the President does not!

— Covert Redneck (@Gene_Roberts) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream We are currently viewing results of @BarackObama Foriegn Policy, As a patriot I dont want 2 see 4 more years of his failure.

— radhat (@radhat) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream At least Romney is pro- American. Obama pro-world acceptance. I trust R's gut instincts to protect US. O, NO!!

— jody stone (@mo2g) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream O's community organizers approach to foreign policy is not working 🙁

— Larry Brumm (@larrybrumm) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream president's current policies. Apologetic tactics have diminished severely.

— Paul Sanford (@plscpapa) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream I am more worried about Obama's policies! The failure is evident @ home and now abroad. Romney's idea strength correct route!

— Philip Pope (@Priverwolf) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream is this a joke Obamas policies of you call them are clearly a disaster Carter2.0

— Adrian Brabham (@AdrianBrabham) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream NO …Romney will surround himself with GREAT people and WILL ATTEND THE BRIEFINGS!!!

— Bimbo Briscoe (@BimboBriscoe) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream we were not worried about Obama's complete lack of experience. Interesting liberal media poll question.

— Kevin (@kcosnascar1) September 16, 2012

Yes. Curious, that. Obama’s lack of experience in absolutely everything was never discussed. In fact, it wasn’t allowed. Because, racist.

@ShannonBream Was anyone worried about Obamas foreign policy experience when he was elected? Or even his experience at anything!!

— Todd Muhlenberg (@CWGracing) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream talking about foreign policy… Pres Obama has no experience and is way over his head.

— James Cooper Cole (@jamescoopercole) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream @gretawire BHO had zero FP exp when he took office. Last four yrs show his flawed world view and lack of guiding US role.

— Brian Hegseth (@BrianHegseth) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream Obamas failed policy. Romney understands FP & has experience. I don't believe the "Romney has no FP" lie of DNC & MSM.

— BKHoneyBee (@BKHoneyBee) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream POTUS is MIA – Romney has four Secretary of State supporting him, a wealth of knowledge to create a policy from @MittRomney

— 704 Living Magazine (@704Livin) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream Pres.'s curr. policies. Romeny certainly has as much or more knowledge/experience as obama had before he was in office

— Karen (@karenann915) September 16, 2012

@ShannonBream More worried about BO's inexperience & his staff of amateurs. MR has much more experience now than BO had 4 yrs ago.

— C Roger Tillotson (@CRogerTill) September 16, 2012

Indeed. November can’t come soon enough. Keep engaging members of the media, Twitter, and show them how Americans really feel. Not just those in the beltway bubble.

Huh? Romney campaign’s political director says ground strategy ‘worked fine’

http://twitter.com/#!/JedediahBila/status/268081378132893696

Rich Beeson isn’t making sense here. “The numbers we needed to hit” were the ones that would have let them *win.* nationalreview.com/corner/333231/…

— Ramesh Ponnuru (@RameshPonnuru) November 12, 2012

National Review’s Katrino Trinko reports that Rich Beeson, the Romney campaign’s political director, has no regrets about the campaign’s get-out-the-vote strategy:

“We turned out the groups we needed to on our side,” Beeson says, adding that Democrats “did a better job of turnout than we thought they could do. They did alter the electorate.”

…

“We hit the numbers we needed to hit. Our ground game turned out the people it needed to turn out. They just turned out more. They turned out 18 to 29 [year olds] at a higher level. They turned out African-Americans at a higher level. They turned out Hispanics at a higher level.”

Beeson thinks that he did the best he could. And if you set reality aside, he did. His definition of “fine” must be the same as President Obama’s. Meanwhile, Twitterers don’t think that Beeson has much to brag about:

Rich Beeson and I have a different definition of “fine.” bit.ly/RxLiM1

That sound you hear is Rich Beeson continuing to shovel a pile of BS: bit.ly/RxLiM1

@jedediahbila Holy Moly! With advisors like Beeson, no wonder Romney lost!

Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt. nationalreview.com/corner/333231/…

— Gerry Daly (@GerryDales) November 12, 2012

Pretty sure that if your ground game turned out less voters than the other side’s, it didn’t “work fine”: nationalreview.com/corner/333231/…

— Charles Homans (@chashomans) November 12, 2012

Romney political director: ““We hit the numbers we needed to hit.” No, you didn’t. nationalreview.com/corner/333231/…

— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) November 12, 2012

This is what clueless looks like.Romney Political Director: ‘The Ground Game Worked Fine.’ buff.ly/XyGBGN

— Kelly Johnston (@johnston_kelly) November 12, 2012

@johnekdahl Beeson “We turned out the groups we needed to on our side” I guess so if the goal was to fall short of 08 numbers

— Irwin Rosenrosen (@RealRosenRosen) November 12, 2012

@seanmdav He was trying to hit a lower number of voters than 2008? What a maroon. You blew it, Beeson, admit it.

“The deck chairs were arranged nicely.” RT @katrinatrinko: Romney Political Director: ‘The Ground Game Worked Fine’ bit.ly/RxLiM1

— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) November 12, 2012

Beeson contends that while Orca had its flaws on Election Day, it was a smart idea. “Did the overall system work the way that we wanted it to? No. But it is a good precursor for what I think we’ll want to be able to design and implement and improve on in coming elections? Absolutely,” he says.

“Improve on” is the key. Orca really shouldn’t be held up as an example of what the Romney campaign did right.

So Orca was good in the primary because it showed Romney winning when he won something. Good G-d. nationalreview.com/corner/333231/…

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) November 12, 2012

As Twitchy reported last week, Project Orca was nothing short of disastrous. If Beeson can’t own up to the mistakes made by him and the campaign, there’s little chance he’ll learn from them.

Bold prediction: Rich Beeson will never work on another political campaign ever again.

— John Ekdahl, Jr. (@JohnEkdahl) November 12, 2012

Sounds like a pretty safe bet.
