Credit unions could accept supplemental capital that wouldn’t be insured by the NCUSIF and would be subordinated to other claims, according to provisions of a bill introduced Thursday by Reps. Peter King (R-N.Y.) and Brad Sherman (D-Calif.).Under the measure, credit unions could accept non-share capital accounts and could use the money to cover operating losses in excess of its retained earnings.

Link Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often described as one of the invisible scars that firefighters and others accumulate after years of dealing with trauma in their jobs. Now the scars are invisible no longer. A new tool—the SPECT scan—is offering a new way for firefighters and others with PTSD to visualize their injuries. SPECT stands for single photon emission computed tomography, and it creates 3-D scans of the patient’s brain that look at blood flow and brain activity, KTLA reports. Those scans can then be used to generate a treatment plan tailored to the specific patient based on the visual effects of PTSD. Retired Firefighter-Paramedic Matthew Fiorenza, a PTSD sufferer, told the station that the scans also help make the illness more tangible. “Looking at a picture of my brain, it just took the stigma out of it,” he told KTLA. “It’s like, okay, I’m not crazy.”
