"Even when the government has prosecuted financial crime (because public outrage became too big to ignore), the government has settled for pennies on the dollar [as a way to quietly bail out the big banks]."

Joel Sarfati, a counselor for the Washington area’s long-term unemployed, has seen it all: Foreclosures, substance abuse, family battles and – worst of all – widespread depression that some experts say has reached startling proportions since the recession.

Mental toll of extended unemployment looms large
FROM:www.washingtonpost.com
About 9 percent of Americans were defined as clinically depressed in data released last year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, compared to an estimated 6.6 percent in data collected in 2001 and 2002.
“You’re 45, 50 years old, you’ve worked hard for the past 25 years, and all of the sudden you’re on the street, or your friends disappear like unemployment is a disease they can catch,” said Sarfati, the executive director of 40Plus of Greater Washington, an organization that brings together unemployed middle-aged professionals for job training, resume building and much needed moral support. “As this thing gets more drawn out, we see more and more people fall into a deep funk or dark place.”
As President Obama and Republican leaders argue over the best way to reduce 9.1 percent unemployment and revive a near-flatlining economy, less attention has been paid to the widespread emotional and psychological damage caused by long-term unemployment — and the drain it has on government resources and workforce productivity.
With an estimated three-quarters of the 14 million unemployed Americans out of work for more than six months and fully half out of work for more than two years, many jobless Americans are falling into despair as repeated attempts to find work come up short.
When people lose their jobs, they often are optimistic as they embark on a search for a new one, according to Ronald Kessler, a professor of health-care policy at Harvard Medical School and an expert on psychiatric disorders and data. “But after a while they get worn down and discouraged, and that’s when you start to see the mental health problems. And for the U.S., that time is now.”
A recently released, comprehensive study of the long-term unemployed by Rutgers University’s John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development found that 32 percent were experiencing a good deal of stress and another 47 percent said they had some stress associated with their joblessness. Moreover, at least 11 percent reported seeking professional help for depression in the past year.
One in two of the respondents in the two-year national study said they have avoided friends and associates, largely out of a sense of shame and embarrassment — a self-imposed isolation that hurt their ability to network to find employment.
Many of these unemployed Americans cannot afford to seek professional help because they lost their employer-provided health insurance with their jobs. At the same time, federal, state and local governments have cut back on spending for mental health clinics and outreach in response to budget crises spawned by the bad economy.
It could get even worse if Medicaid funding of mental health services is put on the chopping block later this fall, as a congressional “supercommittee” hunts for spending cuts to help reduce the federal budget deficit. Medicaid is the main source of funding of public mental health services for young people and adults, accounting for nearly half of state mental health budgets, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
A Zen Koan
Once, while walking through the marketplace, Hotei was confronted by a
sceptical Buddhist monk and scholar.
The monk shouted, "Ha, what is the meaning of Zen?"
Immediately, Hotei stopped walking, threw down his sack - his face
became frozen - and he stood there still and silent in the bustling
marketplace.
The monk, not satisfied, shouted, "What is the expression of Zen?"
Immediately, Hotei continued walking, smiling, laughing and handing out
sweets to little children, just as he had been doing.

The lady on the left was Mrs. Bell and she taught us what was called "Expression". This photo has to be back in the late 1940's. Probably 1949 or so. I am one of the Frogs in the front row, the one where the marker is. Found this old photo and thought I would share it with my Flickr friends. Days of Yester-year. Photo was taken in the Auditorium of West Corinth Mississippi Elementary School.

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile, some have a sad expression, some are pensive and diffident, others again are plain, honest and upright. Henry Ward Beecher
Its a collage of different expressions of a student singing a carnatic song in a team performance at Mylapore festival held at Mylapore in January Month organised by Sundaram. Though it was a group of 20 cute kids singing in the stage obiviously eyes got struck on this kid because of her expression when she went from low pitch to high pitch. Missed few other gud expressions of this kid in the beginning of the song. Realised in the middle and started clicking her expressions. Clicked using 70-300mm lens

How did I learn this ? Where did I learn this? All questions can be answered at here. I am very agreed by what Jerry Chionis, meanwhile I am a big fans of Louis Pang of course.
Every Thursday, I will try my best to give myself sometimes to read his new published tips. Not only in photography, but also how to live it with passion with photography, which matter the most.
He quoted, " We can be overly concerned about posing perfectly that we forget that great expression beats perfection on any given day." I can't agreed more, in fact the expression always come to my priority shot and I know it ain't easy to deal with, not to mentioned to master it in a proper way. Candid shots can be expression, but to be with soul in it, it has to pay lot more effort to get it right.
I just got my recent ROM's photos and most of the candid shots have its soul come along, and I am very impressed. I hope one day I could be the Photo Journalism.

Benjamin Zander working with the pianist Charles Curry on the First Movement (Moderato Cantabile) from Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 31 in A flat major, Op. 110 during the third day of music workshops organised by The Avison Ensemble.
The Avison Ensemble is delighted to have welcomed Benjamin Zander to present a series of music workshops in Newcastle for musicians and listeners as part of our ongoing commitment to music learning in the North East. These workshops were held from 13th to 16th August 2012 in Newcastle University’s King’s Hall; they were open to amateur and professional musicians of all ages and to listeners, including those with no previous experience of classical music.
These workshops were transformative and inspirational for the musicians participating as they discovered new possibilities in interpretation, expression and performance. Ben explored the ‘hidden language’ of music and the impact of its use on both performers and listeners. However, these were not technical master classes – they were full of surprises and often emotional experiences which transformed the audience and players’ outlook on the relationship of music to life.
The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. The Ensemble is strongly committed to music learning in North East England and has an active education programme and its own annual Young Musicians’ Awards competition.
Ben Zander is the acclaimed conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and a passionate musician and speaker of world renown. He has collaborated in performances with many of the world’s greatest musicians, amongst whom have been Rostropovich, Oscar Shumsky, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Martha Argerich, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jaqueline Du Pré.
Ben’s work with young people and youth orchestras is world renowned and he has recently been awarded the Youth Orchestra of the Americas 10th anniversary award for his invaluable contribution to the youth symphony movement across the Americas. He has recently formed the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra to “… shape the musical leadership of tomorrow”.
Ben is one of the most sought-after speakers in the world. Bringing his insights as the conductor of major symphony orchestras to business leaders involved in transformation and change, Ben has become a much sought-after speaker to major organizations all over the world including Shell, IBM, Arthur Andersen, KPMG, Sprint, NASA and the US Army.
