WAR WITH IRAQ / MIDNIGHT RESCUE

Lynch's Town Becomes Giddy and Grateful

With local hero out of danger, Palestine, W. Va., residents celebrate amid a media frenzy. 'I haven't quit smiling yet,' says one.

PALESTINE, W. Va. — At the post office, Berylann Lewis hardly puts the phone down before it rings again. "Just send it here," she says to strangers calling from across the nation. "We'll make sure she gets it."

At the county courthouse, Debbie Hennen too is taking call after call. A Toyota dealer promises a free car. A university president pledges a full scholarship.

"Hey," a clerk shouts, peering out the door, "a helicopter just landed on the football field."

"The governor's here, that's all," Hennen says, dashing outside to supervise a crew hoisting a new flag above the village green.

And so it went across Wirt County on Wednesday as residents, giddy with elation, celebrated news that their hometown hero, 19-year-old Pfc. Jessica Lynch, had been plucked from Saddam Hospital in Iraq -- wounded, but alive, and smiling over the U.S. flag her rescuers had folded across her stretcher.

"She looked beautiful," said her mother, Deadra.

"My heart, it came up from the bottom of my legs back to where it's supposed to be," her brother, Greg, added.

"I haven't quit smiling yet," said Lewis, the postmaster for this rural community.

Suffering from broken legs and other injuries, Lynch arrived at a U.S. military hospital in Germany on Wednesday evening, just as 130 of her neighbors back home in Appalachia gathered in a Methodist church to give thanks for her survival.

"I saw a sign in Wirt County this afternoon that said, 'God is still in the miracles business.' He sure is," Gov. Bob Wise told the crowd.

Late Wednesday -- a full 24 hours after they learned of their daughter's rescue -- Lynch's parents were able to talk to Jessica by phone. "She's real spirited," her father, Gregory Lynch Sr., told the Associated Press. "She hasn't eaten in eight days, and she's hungry."

He said his daughter would be transferred to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington as soon as possible.

It is unclear when Lynch will be well enough to return to the foothills where she grew up. But folks here are planning quite a welcoming party. "One heck of a big shindig," her father promised.

From the looks of it, the celebration already has started.

The yellow ribbons that dotted this community last week were joined Wednesday by posters proclaiming "We love you, Jessica!" Civic leaders in the county seat of Elizabeth (pop. 900) held hurried meetings to design T-shirts and plan a party this weekend to raise money

PICARD: How are you doing, Mister Worf?

WORF: Not well, sir.

PICARD: Try not to look at the stars. Keep your eyes on the hull. ...Let's go.

[Enterprise-E engineering]

DATA: Tell me. Are you using a polymer-based neuro-relay to transmit the organic nerve impulses to the central processor in my positronic net? If that is the case, how have you solved the problem of increased signal degradation inherent to organosynthetic transmission across...

BORG QUEEN (OC): Do you always talk this much?

DATA: Not always, ...but often.

BORG QUEEN: Why do you insist on utilising this primitive linguistic communication? Your android brain is capable of so much more.

DATA: Have you forgotten? I am endeavouring to become more human.

BORG QUEEN: Human! We used to be exactly like them. Flawed, weak, organic, but we evolved

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-esteem


Self-esteem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In sociology and psychology, self-esteem reflects a person's overall subjective emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is a judgment of oneself as well as an attitude toward the self. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself, (for example, "I am competent", "I am worthy")


The three states

This classification proposed by Martin Ross distinguishes three states of self-esteem compared to the "feats" (triumphs, honors, virtues) and the "anti-feats" (defeats, embarrassment, shame, etc.) of the individuals.

Shattered

The individual does not regard themselves as valuable or lovable. They may be overwhelmed by defeat, or shame, or see themselves as such, and they name their "anti-feat". For example, if they consider that being over a certain age is an anti-feat, they define themselves with the name of their anti-feat, and say, "I am old". They pity themselves. They insult themselves. They feel sorry. They may become paralyzed by their sadness.

Vulnerable

The individual has a generally positive self-image. However, their self-esteem is also vulnerable to the perceived risk of an imminent anti-feat (such as defeat, embarrassment, shame, discredit), consequently they are often nervous and regularly use defense mechanisms. A typical protection mechanism of those with a Vulnerable Self-Esteem may consist in avoiding decision-making. Although such individuals may outwardly exhibit great self-confidence, the underlying reality may be just the opposite: the apparent self-confidence is indicative of their heightened fear of anti-feats and the fragility of their self-esteem. They may also try to blame others to protect their self-image from situations which would threaten it. They may employ defense mechanisms
