What Is Dissociative Identity Disorder?
Most of us have experienced mild dissociation, which is like daydreaming or getting lost in the moment while working on a project. However, dissociative identity disorder is a severe form of dissociation, a mental process which produces a lack of connection in a person's thoughts, memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity. Dissociative identity disorder is thought to stem from trauma experienced by the person with the disorder. The dissociative aspect is thought to be a coping mechanism -- the person literally dissociates himself from a situation or experience that's too violent, traumatic, or painful to assimilate with his conscious self.

Mother turns over sexting 13-year-old daughter to police for ‘harsh’ punishment

A Virginia mother turned her 13-year-old daughter over to police after she found nude images of the teen on her phone and tablet, CBS 6 News reports.
The Dinwiddie, Virginia mother whose name will not be revealed, to protect her daughters identity said that she discovered the images after she found her daughter using her phone and tablet at 4 a.m. last week. She confiscated the eighth graders electronics and began to look through the recent activity, where she found photographs both of her daughter and her peers.
Looking through the phone and the tablet we did find sexual pictures, conversations that were very inappropriate for her age, she told CBS 6 News.
She then took the drastic step of turning her daughter in to sheriffs department. We did this now to protect her for now and in the future, because this could get worse. She could be taken, the teens mother said. What shes facing may be harsh, but we feel its for her own protection.

Starbucks: We don't fund Israel
The coffee chain has issued a statement announcing that neither Starbucks nor CEO Howard Schultz "provides financial support to Israel," or to its army, in the wake of what Starbucks (SBUX) called "false rumors."
The company, which is known for flooding markets with its stores, also pointed out that it closed all of its stores in Israel in 2003 because of "operational challenges."
The company has publicly refuted claims about its support for Israel before, but reiterated its position because it saw an "uptick in false rumors out there about Starbucks and the Middle East," according to Olson.
"Starbucks does not support any political or religious causes, and that holds true for Howard as well," Olson said. "There's no financial support from Howard or the company to the Israeli government for any purposes."
Starbucks currently operates in early 600 stores in 12 countries in the Mideast and North Africa, including Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.
