</p> <p><strong>Open</strong></p> <p>Defined by an inventive and curious nature, open people generally have an appreciation for art, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience. They can be highly emotional.</p> <p>They are sensitive to beauty and tend to be, compared to closed people, more creative and more aware of their feelings. They are more likely to hold unconventional beliefs.</p><a name='more'></a><p>Open people are likely to agree with the following statements:</p> <p><strong>I have a rich vocabulary.</strong></p> <h4><strong>I have a vivid imagination.</strong></h4> <p><strong>I have excellent ideas.</strong></p> <p><strong>I spend time reflecting on things.</strong></p> <p><strong>I use difficult words.</strong></p> <p><strong>I am interested in abstractions.</strong></p> <p><strong>I do have a good imagination.</strong></p> <p><strong>Conscientious</strong></p> <p>Defined as being efficient and organised, people in this category tend to show self discipline, act dutifully and are ambitious.</p> <p>The trait shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous behavior. It influences the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses.</p> <p>Conscientious people are likely to agree with the following statments:</p> <p><strong>I am always prepared.</strong></p> <p><strong>I am exacting in my work.</strong></p> <p><strong>I follow a schedule.</strong></p> <p><strong>I like order.</strong></p> <p><strong>I pay attention to details.</strong></p> <p><strong>I rarely leave my belongings around.</strong></p> <p><strong>I rarely make a mess of things.</strong></p> <p><strong>I don't often forget to put things back in their proper place.</strong></p> <p><strong>I don't shirk my duties.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/8489547/Happiness-the-5-big-personality-traits-which-one-are-you.html" target="_blank">click to read</a></p> Bomber1http://www.blogger.com/profile/00933258983648937560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471604117143759889.post-80229411186179970972010-07-07T17:01:00.001-07:002010-07-07T17:01:35.728-07:00Woman Eats Her Child's Brain? Mental Health and Criminal Justice Systems Failed Her<p><img src="http://hiphopwired.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/sanchezandbaby.jpg?w=316&h=421" /></p> <p>by Dr. Boyce Watkins </p> <p>This week, a woman in Texas cut off the head of her three week old baby and ate part of his brain. What’s even more shocking about this terrible story is that she won’t get any jail time for it.</p> <p>Otty Sanchez, a 34-year old, was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the death of her child, Scott Wesley Buchholz-Sanchez. Prosecutors accepted the plea deal after learning that the woman thought that the devil made her kill her child. </p> <p>The baby was found in a bedroom with three of his toes chewed off, his head severed and his brain ripped out.

You would especially want your daughter to know his name, as well as anyone else in the community who has reason to fear a more disturbing style of sexual predator for the new millenium. </p> <p> <br />Williams is in prison right now for knowingly infecting women with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. His victims were as young as 13 years old, and authorities believe he may have infected as many as 50 women prior to going to state prison in 1998. Police are working to keep Williams behind bars because they fear what might happen if he is released to the American public. <br />"He is prone to further sexual contact with underage individuals because of deficits in his emotional capacity to understand why this is wrong and attitudes that support these types of exploitive encounters. His emotional callousness, lack of remorse and impulsivity undermine important internal mechanisms for managing his sexual behavior," said examiner Jacob E. Hadden from the New York State Office of Mental Health. Authorities have determined that Williams suffers from a mental health abnormality that makes him incapable of understanding why his actions are wrong or harmful. </p> <p> <br />The possible release of Williams reminds us of the urgency of managing the public health alarm called HIV infection. <a href="http://blackbloggers.wordpress.com"><strong>African Americans</strong></a> are taking the lead in HIV infection rates, and what is also true is that the experience in our community is nothing less than a precursor to what is eventually going to happen all throughout America. What is most frightening about the case of Nushawn Williams is that he is probably not the only person deliberately spreading the disease: there are likely women and other men doing the same thing. To make matters worse, there are many in our community (and others) who are being incredibly irresponsible with their sexual behavior and infecting scores of people in the process. </p> <p> <br />As I felt empathy for celebrities like Magic Johnson and Eazy-E for their battles with HIV/AIDS, I wondered how many of us thought about the long list of partners they infected before finally getting their own positive test results. Did you ever think about the fact that many of those people are out in the community right now, quite a few of whom may have taken years to become aware of their HIV positive status? This is scary indeed, so the truth is that to protect yourself from the silent community killer, a general strategy of protection must be put into play. </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/04/14/man-knowingly-infected-women-with-hiv-set-to-be-released-from-p/">Click to read</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Bomber1http://www.blogger.com/profile/00933258983648937560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471604117143759889.post-23014330357926438942010-03-22T11:07:00.001-07:002010-03-22T11:07:11.566-07:00List of Democrats Who Voted Against the Health Care Reform Bill<p><a href="http://yourblackpolitics.blogspot.com"><img height="381" src="http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/files/2008/06/us_politics.png" width="298" /></a></p> <p>Democrats who voted against the health care bill included the following Congressmen and Congresswomen:</p> <p>Rep.

This has been heavy on the mind of our president for his entire first year in office and has led to quite a few political battles on Capitol Hill. Health care is in serious jeopardy, as the cost of entitlement programs such as Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security threaten our nation's economic security. Our national debt has risen to unprecedented and frightening levels, and our politicians have little incentive to do anything about it. <br />One additional problem that we are running into on the issue of health care is the fact that our nation doesn't have enough Primary Care physicians. These doctors are incredibly important, since they are the first line of defense against illness in America. <br />Over the next 10 years, our nation is expected to have a shortfall of 40,000 Primary Care doctors. By 2025, that number is expected to balloon to over 120,000. To make matters worse, our population is aging, implying that there will be a greater demand for these doctors in the future.</p> <p></p> <a href="http://www.bvonmoney.com/2010/02/27/america-doesnt-have-enough-doctors-wheres-the-money/">Click to read.</a> Bomber1http://www.blogger.com/profile/00933258983648937560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471604117143759889.post-43510861611930839412010-02-22T11:19:00.001-08:002010-02-22T11:19:43.179-08:00The Latest in Black Health News – 2/22/10<ul> <li><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/politics/obama-to-propose-limits-on-health-insurance-rates.php"><img alt="Obama to propose limits on health insurance rates" src="http://www.thegrio.com/assets_c/2010/02/obama-to-propose-limits-on-health-insurance-rate-hikes-thumb-160xauto-6650.jpg" /></a> <h4><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/politics/obama-to-propose-limits-on-health-insurance-rates.php">Obama to propose limits on health insurance rates</a></h4> <p>By <a href="http://www.thegrio.com/author/thegrio/">theGrio</a></p> <p>8:11 AM on 02/22/2010</p> <p>WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Obama is making a fresh attempt to rescue his health care overhaul by proposing a measure that would allow the government to deny or roll back egregious insurance premium increases...</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/politics/obama-to-propose-limits-on-health-insurance-rates.php">> READ MORE</a></p> </li> <li><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/politics/white-house-dems-near-accord-on-health-care-bill.php"><img alt="White House: Dems near accord on health care bill " src="http://www.thegrio.com/assets_c/2010/02/white-house-dems-near-accord-on-health-care-bill-thumb-160xauto-6602.jpg" /></a> <h4><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/politics/white-house-dems-near-accord-on-health-care-bill.php">White House: Dems near accord on health care bill</a></h4> <p>By <a href="http://www.thegrio.com/author/thegrio/">theGrio</a></p> <p>4:40 PM on 02/18/2010</p> <p>WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House and congressional leaders are preparing a detailed health care proposal designed to win passage without Republican support</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/politics/white-house-dems-near-accord-on-health-care-bill.php">> READ MORE</a></p> </li> <li><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/news/african-americans-increasingly-going-under-the-knife-in-quest-for-perfection.php"><img alt="African-Americans increasingly going under the knife in quest for perfection" src="http://www.thegrio.com/assets_c/2010/02/african-americans_increasingly_going_under_the_knife_in_quest_for_perfection-thumb-160xauto-6508.jpg" /></a> <h4><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/news/african-americans-increasingly-going-under-the-knife-in-quest-for-perfection.php">African-Americans increasingly going under the knife in quest for perfection</a></h4> <p>By <a href="http://www.thegrio.com/author/bonnie-davis/">Bonnie Davis</a></p> <p>8:53 AM on 02/16/2010</p> <p>Although perceptions linger that plastic surgery is something for "only rich Caucasian people," it's no longer true...</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/news/african-americans-increasingly-going-under-the-knife-in-quest-for-perfection.php">> READ MORE</a></p> </li> <li><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/news/first-lady-launches-lets-move-effort-against-childhood-obesity.php"><img alt="First lady launches 'Let's Move' effort against childhood obesity " src="http://www.thegrio.com/assets_c/2010/02/firstlady_launches_lets_move_effort_against_childhood_obesity-thumb-160xauto-6382.jpg" /></a> <h4><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/news/first-lady-launches-lets-move-effort-against-childhood-obesity.php">First lady launches 'Let's Move' effort against childhood obesity</a></h4> <p>By <a href="http://www.thegrio.com/author/thegrio/">theGrio</a></p> <p>9:35 AM on 02/09/2010</p> <p>WASHINGTON (AP) - Michelle Obama says she loves burgers and fries, but she wants her daughters -- and the rest of America's children -- to learn about better nutrition...</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/news/first-lady-launches-lets-move-effort-against-childhood-obesity.php">> READ MORE</a></p> </li> <li><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/top-stories/bad-malaria-pills-in-africa-raise-resistance-fears.php"><img alt="Bad malaria pills in Africa raise resistance fears" src="http://www.thegrio.com/assets_c/2010/02/Malaria-thumb-160xauto-6340.jpg" /></a> <h4><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/top-stories/bad-malaria-pills-in-africa-raise-resistance-fears.php">Bad malaria pills in Africa raise resistance fears</a></h4> <p>By <a href="http://www.thegrio.com/author/thegrio/">theGrio</a></p> <p>10:06 AM on 02/08/2010</p> <p>High rates of the most effective type of malaria-fighting drugs sold in three African countries are poor quality...</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/top-stories/bad-malaria-pills-in-africa-raise-resistance-fears.php">> READ MORE</a></p> </li> </ul> Bomber1http://www.blogger.com/profile/00933258983648937560noreply@blogger.com0
