Anxiety

...ba href=/anxiety/a/b, hasty judgments, and the ways in which fear can ignite seemingly unrelated emotional responses.

A fairly simple domestic story about money worries, Six Figures moves into complicated terrain involving abandonment issues, guilt and projection.

Warner (JR Bourne) can't shake the nagging feeling that he should be farther along in life than he is.

He is 35, married, and the father of two children and he's worried because he and his wife can't quite afford to buy a house.

You know when you have one of those days when work is worrisome and the kids are crying and you're tired and fretful and worried about paying the bills?

Warner's whole life is like that.

Warner's wife Claire (Caroline Cave) seems to be the glue holding the family together.

Claire is loving toward Warner, great with her kids and kind to Warner's parents.

She cheerfully ignores her own mother's sniping at Warner; her mom is sure that Warner will prove to be just as big a loser as Claire's own long-gone dad was.

While Warner founders at his job, Claire gets a raise at hers.

Just when they finally find a house they want to buy, sort of, Warner's boss says something that indicates bad financial news may lie ahead.

Then, when something violent happens to Claire, people suspect that Warner's general frustration with life may be at the root of it.

His own parents aren't sure that he's innocent.

Everything collapses into a mess of suspicion and Warner becomes the target of other people's fears.

Veterans Affairs Minister Bruce Billson said the government was committed to the safety and welfare of all current and former Defence employees and was providing the best possible assistance to those in need.

Mr Billson said to date some $18.7 million in ex-gratia payments had been made to more than 480 deseal-reseal program participants.

"Outstanding claims are being carefully considered against the definition and available records, and these claims will be determined as soon as possible," he said.

"F-111 deseal-reseal participants can claim compensation for any injury or illness related to their deseal-reseal activities or their general defence force service." Mr Billson said they could also claim an ex-gratia payment of up to $40,000.

He said the compensation payments and ex-gratia payments were not linked and each claim was considered on its merits as part of a separate process.

"The ex-gratia payment is not related to having a personal injury or disease, but recognises that those who worked inside the F-111 fuel tanks for significant periods of time may have experienced greater concentrations of the chemicals and solvents associated with the F-111 deseal-reseal process," he said.

Nady, Lo Duca Power Mets Over CardsXavier Nady broke out of a slump with three hits and Paul Lo Duca drove in three runs to help the New York Mets beat the St.

Louis Cardinals 6-1 on Thursday.

Nady and Lo Duca each finished 3-for-3.

Anderson Hernandez, trying to land New York's starting second base job, went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI.

Competing with Victor Diaz for playing time in right field, Nady was mired in a 1-for-28 skid after getting off to a strong start in spring training.

"It was good to see him relax a little bit and get going," Mets manager Willie Randolph said.

"Obviously, spring training is not the best barometer for how you base these guys but, you know, he was 0-for-20 or whatever and he had a couple knocks so that's why you don't put a lot of emphasis on games like this because you can turn it around in one day." Darren Oliver earned the win with two shutout innings.

Aaron Heilman worked a hitless ninth in his first outing since being sent back to the bullpen.

Heilman was beaten out for the fifth slot in New York's rotation by rookie Brian Bannister.

Mets ace Pedro Martinez is scheduled to make his second start of the spring Friday against the Cardinals.
