From the Chapter
It was wonderful seeing many of you at Internal Medicine 2012 in New Orleans! This issue of our newsletter focuses on our Governor transition and other updates. We wish you all the best for a lovely summer!

Message from the Outgoing Governor
I feel quite privileged to have been able to serve the Montana Chapter of the ACP as Governor over the past four years. At the beginning of my term as Governor, one of my primary goals was to extend the activities of our Montana Chapter beyond our annual Chapter Meeting. Now at the end of my term as Governor, I am satisfied that this goal has been accomplished in many areas and in areas where we have not yet accomplished our goals, the infrastructure to do so has been established.
Without question, hiring Carrie Reisig as our Executive Director four years ago was the most important step that our Chapter has taken in recent years toward becoming more relevant and functional for its internist members. Carrie is very organized and has demonstrated great skill at executing any directive that she is given. I have no idea how my predecessors were able to function without an Executive Director like her. The establishment of Carrie's position has greatly enhanced our Chapter's ability to communicate with members on ACP national activities, upcoming Chapter meetings, and political issues which interface with the day to day practice of the Montana internist. Carrie has developed our Monthly Chapter Newsletter which I hope our membership has found informative.
Over the past few years our Chapter has developed several Committees, including the Advocacy Committee (chaired by Dr. Ann Bukacek), the Membership Committee (chaired by Dr. Erin Reis), and our Council of Young Physicians Committee (chaired by Dr. Charlotte Nelson). I expect that these Committees will continue to develop under the leadership of your new Governor, Dr. Jay Larson.
Our Montana Chapter continues to send two individuals each year to Leadership Day in Washington D.C., which attendees have found informative. I am also very pleased with how our Big Sky Winter Meeting has developed over recent years. As you know, this meeting is focused on Hospital Medicine, and we were pleased to have 21 attendees at this year's meeting in February. I see this as the first step that our chapter can take in making the Montana ACP Chapter activities more relevant for our Hospitalist members by supplying some excellent educational activity. Thank you to Drs. Sandra McIntyre and Brett Kronenberger for all their work on the very successful meeting of 2012. Thanks to Dr. Michael Vlases for agreeing to chair the planning committee for Big Sky Winter Meeting 2013.
I am confident that your new Governor, Dr. Jay Larson, will take our chapter to a much higher level of functionality over the next four years. Jay has some excellent ideas that I'm sure he'll execute well, including regularly scheduled educational webinars for our membership. Dr. Larson also keeps his hand on the pulse of what's going on at the state legislative level, which I think will translate into more advocacy opportunities for our Chapter and its members.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve this great chapter as your Governor over the past four years!
- Jim A. Yturri, MD, FACP
Message from the Incoming Governor
It is my honor and privilege to be the Governor of the Montana Chapter of the ACP for the next 4 years. During the Annual Session in New Orleans I had the opportunity to network with the Governors of the Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, and Alaska chapters. We will be subscripting to a webinar service with the intent to have monthly webinars consisting of everything from presentations from University of Washington professors, to reviewing SEP modules, to interactive webinars discussing the challenges of internal medicine. The Webinar service can also be used for committee meetings.
We will also have a conference call with the Governor of the Washington Chapter to move forward with a strategic planning session.
Some of the tidbits from the annual session: Adding niacin or fibrate to statins does not lower cardiovascular event risk. Persons with history of zoster have the same risk of zoster as someone who has not had zoster and therefore Zostavax is recommended to all patients 60 years and older without contraindication. When reviewing DEXA scan results look at total L spine, total hip and femoral neck T scores when deciding on treatment. T scores are best used in women 65 and older and Z scores should be used in younger persons. Using the FRAX osteoporosis calculator should be used in for treatment decisions in women with osteopenia. Quinolones should be used as first line therapy for women with pyelonephritis and not in women with simple cystitis.
Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants can now join the ACP for $109 as a special class. They will not receive print version of Annals of Internal Medicine nor be able to service on ACP committees, but will have everything else the ACP has to offer. In the next several weeks we will be sending invitations to Montana Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants who work in internal medicine.
- Jay L. Larson, MD, FACP
Resolution Updates
During the Spring Board of Governors' Meeting, several resolutions were discussed. Two that we wanted to bring your attention to are on the important topics of "Investigating Possible Work-Related Abuses for Physicians Working Under the Conrad-30 Program" and "Studying the Financial Consequences of Provider-Based Billing on the Value of Health Care".

Jaguars QB David Garrard missed practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday after sustaining a concussion in Monday night's loss to the Titans. Backup QBs Trent Edwards or Todd Bouman are likely to start on Sunday against the Chiefs.
Garrard has yet to return to the Jaguars' facility since the injury. Head coach Jack Del Rio said Garrard will be evaluated again and he is prepared to play Edwards or Bouman.
Bouman was re-signed earlier this week. He has not started a game since 2005. Edwards, who was claimed after being waived by the Bills, sprained his right thumb after replacing Garrard on Monday night.
The Jaguars signed QB Patrick Ramsey this week as well.
The way we see it
The coaches are reportedly confident with Bouman, who ahs been with the team in camp each of the past two seasons and in 2007, so he has familiarity with the offense. Ramsey has more talent but does not know the system as well. With Edwards questionable and Garrard out again, it's very likely that Bouman or Ramsey will get the call against the Chiefs.
Fantasy Spin
This will mean an increased workload for RB Maurice Jones-Drew, but the Chiefs know that too. It's unlikely either Bouman or Ramsey will be able to get going through the air, which also means low fantasy numbers for their receivers and TE Marcedes Lewis.

Couple give up fight over their North Nibley alpaca farm
3:00pm Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News By Daniel Chipperfield, senior reporter covering Dursley, Cam, Wotton-under-Edge, Sharpness, Slimbridge, Berkeley, Coaley, Uley, North Nibley, Stinchcombe and Cambridge
THE long-running dispute over a couple's fight to keep their alpaca farm in North Nibley has come to an end with the pair announcing they are to relocate the business to Wales.
Emma and Rodney Bird, of Bird Farm in Stancombe, were informed in August 2012 that they had to move after their appeal to continue living on the site in their mobile caravan was refused by Stroud District Council.
The couple are now hoping to move their 21-strong herd to a new 17.5 acre plot in Carmarthenshire by the Easter weekend.
Mrs Bird, originally from Wotton-under-Edge and with family in Chipping Sodbury, said it was with a degree of sadness that they were moving but was positive for the future.
"It is a shame we are having to move about 100 miles to carry on with what we are doing because we were not getting the support locally," she said.
"But we are going to be replicating what we did here, including the market stalls and the workshops we hold. We have had a lot of people calling about the place saying how much they liked it, I know we are going to be missed.
"We did really well at the Christmas markets, as fast as we could make the products, we would sell them straight away, I am looking forward to the move."
"It has been difficult the last couple of years because of the lack of support, but now we know where we are going it is a relief."
The Bird's land at Stancombe, North Nibley is being sold at auction on Wednesday, March 6, at 7pm at Cotswold Edge Golf Club in Wotton-under-Edge.

Authorities have wrapped up their investigation of a September shooting at a cold-storage warehouse in southeast Nebraska.
Saline County Attorney Tad Eickman told a Lincoln TV station that no charges will be filed, as the suspected shooter, 26-year-old Akouch Kashoual of Lincoln, is dead.
Eickman was out of the office Friday and unavailable to comment.
Investigators have said Kashoual shot three co-workers at the
Americold Logistics plant in Crete, then killed himself. No motive
has been released.
Two of the victims were released from hospitals a few days after
the shooting. The third - a woman shot 11 times - was released this week. All three victims live in Crete.

For The Daily Item
Two of the youngest teams in the Patriot League visited Sojka Pavilion back in January both unsure of what lie ahead during the meat of the conference season.
Both Army and Lafayette made unsuccessful trips to Lewisburg on consecutive Saturday nights, losing by 21 and 15 points, respectively.
Fast forward to March and the Black Knights and Leopards very clearly passed Lehigh as the teams with the best chance to knock off Bucknell.
The Black Knights gave the Bison all they could handle in Saturday afternoon's semifinal.
Wednesday night it's second-seeded Lafayette's turn as the Leopards face Bucknell at 7:30 p.m. in the Patriot League Tournament championship game with a berth in the NCAA Tournament on the line.
Lafayette might be the hottest team in the league. The Leopards, led by point guard Tony Johnson, are 11-2 overall, 10-2 in the Patriot League since that loss to the Bison sent them to a 8-12 overall record and 1-2 in the league.
Since that game the Leopards have beaten Lehigh three times, including Saturday in the semifinals, and also beat Bucknell on a last-second shot in Easton.
Lafayette is a lot like the Bison in one respect. Bucknell takes advantage of the matchup problem that standout center Mike Muscala provides and the Leopards have a player like that in their own right with Johnson.
Johnson had yet to average double figures in his career entering his senior season, but he played well enough last year to earn a second-team all-Patriot League nod despite playing in just 12 games due to injury.
Johnson made the leap this season. He's second on the team in scoring at 13.4 points per game. He leads the Patriot League in assists (4.8 per game), steals (64) and field-goal percentage (55.7).
Sophomores Seth Hinrichs and Dan Trist have also made great strides this season. Hinrichs, a 6-foot-7 guard, leads the team in scoring at 14.7 points per game, after averaging eight as a freshman. Trist, a forward from Australia, is third on the team at 12.6 points per game after scoring five points per game in his first season.
DEARLY DEPARTING: The contributions Bucknell has received from its senior class have been well-chronicled, but when the 2013-14 Patriot League season begins the Bison will not be the only team that will look much different.
This class of graduating players might be the best the Patriot League has ever produced. It features two of the greatest players in its history in Muscala and Lehigh guard C.J. McCollum.
Of course, Johnson and Levi Geise at Lafayette, along with Malcom Mackey at Lehigh have made names for themselves as well.
Army coach Zach Spiker got emotional in his post game press conference after his team's season ended in a loss Saturday at Bucknell. Spiker's three-man senior class took a huge leadership role this season at West Point, helping the Black Knights to their first winning season in 19 years.
Ella Ellis was the second-leading scoring in the Patriot League, but Spiker wanted to make it known how much help Ellis, center Jordan Springer and injured guard Jason Pancoe helped him change a culture of losing at Army.

As Vissing Park nears its completion, the Jeffersonville Parks Authority Board has turned its sights to the early phases of constructing a multisports complex near Charlestown Pike.
An animation of what the soccer complex, with a multiuse indoor facility, could become was presented to the board by James Lake, architect with Kovert Hawkins. The animation included plans to construct six soccer fields, interchangeable with football fields and an indoor multipurpose facility that could host basketball, volleyball or even table tennis.
"It communicates to anybody who sees it what we can't communicate in 122 [project] plans," Lake said about the animation.
The design for the plans to expand the Clark County Soccer Association fields and add an indoor multipurpose facility comes with an estimated cost of $4 million. The property for the sports complex was donated to the Clark County Soccer Association by John Woehrle, said Paul Duckworth, president of CCSA. To secure the property needed for the expanded complex, a portion is expected to be donated to the parks department.
"We're in the process of working something out so the city [of Jeffersonvile] and the parks department will own a part of it and [CCSA] will retain the other part of it," said Parks Department Director Paul Northam.
While plans are still being devised for the project, potential funding sources are already being explored.
"This might be a perfect project to look at a revenue bond for," said Parks Authority Board Member Dennis Julius.
He offered the parks authority should consider conducting a study to see what amount of revenue is expected to be generated by the sports complex and potentially seek a revenue bond to pay for its construction.
The animation presented is likely to be used to look for other potential funding sources, which includes requesting money from the Clark-Floyd Counties Convention and Tourism Bureau and seek private donations through sponsors.
Security package at Vissing Park
A surveillance package to be installed at Vissing Park was presented to the parks authority board Monday, but no action was taken as the board needs to request additional quotes from different companies.
Security Pros presented a plan to install cameras and a motion-sensor alert system for the park totaling $147,500.
While sealed bids do not need to be taken for proposals under $150,000, Parks Authority Attorney Scott Lewis said the board still needs to seek multiple quotes for the proposed project.
The board agreed to allow Northam to solicit additional bids and bring the offers back to its next meeting.
Vissing Park
Matt Gullo, with Kovert-Hawkins, said Vissing park is 90 to 95 percent complete.
Northam said he hopes to have a soft opening for the park in January. He said the softball fields will remain closed until April, but the basketball court, playgrounds, shelters and trails will all be open soon.
During his update on the park's progress, Gullo presented a change order that returned $25,000 to the project due to a dog park that is no longer being considered. However, it was added that it could be constructed in the park at a later date.
More than $6,000 for grass seeding and $1,900 additional cost for netting that will go over the playground at the park returned $16,921 back to the project contingency allowance.
Northam added that it is likely some of the contingency allowance will be used on a signage package for the park.
Building a better web presence
Northam requested $7,850 to update the parks department's three websites.
He said ProMedia has been contacted to update the websites, which includes a separate site for RiverStage events and for Smokin' on the River. In addition, there would be a $600 annual fee to maintain all three sites.
No decision was made on the proposal and the parks authority board asked Northam to seek additional quotes to update the department website.

What Is Georges St-Pierre's 3-Letter Nickname?
You may choose an icon for your message from this list
Will turn www.example.com into [URL]http://www.example.com[/URL].
hermes deserves the fight because he is more consistent. but give melvin guillard one or two more fights and sherk vs. guillard would be awesome. melvin may be the only one that can match intensity with sherk. and he might even have more. but he's young and needs to control himself. its all about controlled violence
Penn just lost a few times, so if he went down to 155 would have to win a few times to earn a title fight. Hermes definitely deserved the fight the most. Fisher, Melvin, Stevenson and Hominick are all within striking distance of the next shot after that.
i would say pulver, but for a recent big big upset that doesnt look to be the case, if penn went down to 155 which he should he would beat anybody there including sherk, but id like to see a hughes vs. penn rematch first once gsp destroys hughes. then bj will beat hughes and then he will get a rematch with gsp since their first fight was so close. then he will lose to gsp and go back down to 155 where he will beat sherk or whoever is the lw champ at that time.
I think Franca deserves the next title shot. That being said ..... Fisher is a little too cocky imo, and I'd enjoy seeing Sherk pummel him.
Hermes Franca!!!!!!!
i dont think it really matters at this point....the muscle shark is a crazy non stop rabid train gonna run through anyone..
who cares who he fights next??? the guy friggin dominated florian with about a loss of 1 gallon of blood.hell be the champion for quite awhile.congrats sean and soak it up....you deserve it.

i do do agree but i dont see kenflo getting a rematch for a while mabe a year or two because there are alot of light weight fighters that are really young and up in commers....................i would like to see sherk vs melvin
Hermes deserves the first title shot.After that it should be whomever is looking the most impressive out of Stevenson,Melvin,and Fisher.
I wouldn't want to see him fight Jennifer Lopez. Hermes/Sherk would be nice but most likely the UFC will put him up against another TUFer like Joe Stevenson or Melvin Guillard. That's if Stevenson gets past Mishima, which should be a tough match for him. Spencer Fisher called out Joe Lauzon, so that looks like it would be his next fight.

Meridian Star
Two people who have taken to heart the command of Christ to "Take up your cross and follow me," are spreading the gospel in their home county of Newton and in surrounding counties.
Steve and Wanda McKinion were in Meridian on Friday with crosses in tow, a ministry their pastor at Covenant Life Church started. The McKinions have been carrying crosses for about two years.
"We're just trying to remind people what Jesus did on the cross," Steve McKinion said. "We want also to wake up some people, wake up churches and let them know that we're living in the end times and that time is short and if they are going to do anything for the Kingdom of God, they need to get busy."
In addition to those outside of the church, the McKinions are also concerned about church-goers.
"There is a lot of idolatry going on in churches, even today, that people think it's of God, but it isn't," he said. "We just want people to wake up to the times we're living in."
They get a lot of questions about why they carry their crosses and where they are going.
"Our main purpose is to really let people know that Jesus died on the cross for their sins," Steve McKinion said. "Some people say 'bless you' and some ask questions. Some people pray."
Their ministry is very specific.
"The focus is on Jesus," Wanda McKinion said. "If you've got Jesus you've got everything you need.These crosses shine more than we could ever do."

Do you have room in your heart and home for this adorable 10-month-old Springer mix? If so, please reach out to say "hello" to Malcolm!
Malcolm is a recent addition to Brendan's Meadows Rescue. He became part of the BMR family with his two siblings who came from a neglectful home in WV. Since arriving at BMR he has been staying with a short term foster family in Clark. The home is pretty crowded right now with family dogs, which is why Malcolm needs a family of his own. He attends obedience classes every Tuesday evening in Union. He and his siblings had little training in their youth so we're playing catch-up on leash and overall manners.
Malcolm's foster family reports that he is a LOVE. He craves and soaks up attention. If you want a loyal best friend and companion, Malcolm is your boy. He is housebroken and crate trained (although he would rather be everywhere you are.) Malcolm should get plenty of exercise; a fenced yard would be a plus, giving Malcolm some play room to burn off that puppy energy. Of course, all dogs benefit from a few daily walks so if you don't have a fence but are able to provide ample exercise, he'll surely benefit. Exercise makes for a much better behaved dog, overall.
Malcolm so wants to please and will benefit from someone who can give him some training time to reinforce what he is learning at puppy school. He does well with children and other dogs. With positive reinforcement training he will make a wonderful addition to a family. He really just wants to love and be loved.
If you are able to offer Malcolm a foster or permanent home, please contact us at Brendan's Meadows Rescue for more information to to make a date to meet Malcolm!

There is new hope for people suffering from depression. Researchers have identified a compound, hydroxynorketamine (HNK), that may treat symptoms of depression just as effectively and rapidly as ketamine, without the unwanted side effects associated with the psychoactive drug, according to a study in the July issue of Anesthesiology, the official medical journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists® (ASA®). Interestingly, use of HNK may also serve as a future therapeutic approach for treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, the authors note.
A study in the July issue of Anesthesiology revealed that patients who receive a simple, multicolor, standardized medication instruction sheet before surgery are more likely to comply with their physician's instructions and experience a significantly shorter post-op stay in recovery. These findings are important because surgical patients often fail to follow their doctor's medication instructions for preexisting conditions such as diabetes and hypertension on the day they are having surgery – a costly mistake that can lead to surgery cancellation, complications and longer hospital stays.

It's one of the most effective, safest and widely used forms of pain management for women in labor, yet there are misconceptions about epidurals, a recent study shows. From fears of permanent back pain to allegations of potential harm to the baby, many women still harbor mistaken beliefs about epidurals.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists® (ASA) applauds Friday's introduction of the bipartisan Medicare Access to Rural Anesthesiology Act by Rep. Lynn Jenkins (KS-05) and Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (MO-01). Many rural areas of the country face challenges in recruiting and retaining physicians to serve rural patients. This legislation, which is the companion to S. 1444 by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA), reforms Medicare's rural incentive payment for all types of anesthesia providers and extends rural hospitals' access to physician anesthesiologists. Under this legislation, rural hospitals would expand access to physician anesthesiologist services and be able to more readily recruit and retain physician anesthesiologists who may want to serve their rural communities, providing greater access to physician care.

Expectant mothers concerned about receiving an epidural, spinal or general anesthesia during childbirth can breathe a little easier. According to a study published in the June issue of Anesthesiology, the official medical journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists® (ASA®), serious complications due to anesthesia during childbirth are very rare, occurring in one out of every 3,000 deliveries.
Patients experience fewer postoperative complications when a surgical safety checklist is used by their surgical team, reports the first large-scale review on the subject published in the June issue of Anesthesiology, the official medical journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists® (ASA®). By following a simple checklist, health care providers can minimize the most common postoperative risks such as wound infection and blood loss.

Were All of Google Properties Down Last Night?
Conrad King
07/28/2006 03:59 pm
I had 3 sites time out on loading adsense and was unable to access my adwords account.
07/28/2006 04:49 pm
Yes, I could not access Google News and their cache was timing out too. Also, noticed many sites hanging when trying to serve AdSense ads. For example www.sfgate.com was showing a mostly blank page...
07/29/2006 07:23 pm
Adsense is still almost down for me. Can't login there. And, it might too explain my decrease in income and impressions.

Alexander Graham Bell at the opening of the long-distance line from New York to Chicago
Bell sits at the New York end of the first long-distance line to Chicago and inaugurates real long-distance telephone service in 1892. Like gas and electricity, the telephone began as a local service and kept spreading, until, by 1915, transcontinental service was a reality. Reproduction Number LC-G9-Z2-28, 608-B Gilbert H.

seth's 5 piece collection is up at qvc, i'd post a link but i've overbrowsered myself and have an hourglass on anything with pics or video.
seth's 5 piece collection is up at qvc, i'd post a link but i've overbrowsered myself and have an hourglass on anything with pics or video.
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Here's a link to the collection.
I like the yellow top and the polka dots ok. Looks like he was given a $20 budget for all 5 pieces.
Seth Aaron was my favorite in his season. But, I was stunned when he won this time since that final challenge was tailor made (no pun intended ) for Korto. And if she had put out a flowing gown collection, she might have won. The 1 piece pants outfit was cute. I FLOVED her yellow maxi dress until the model turned around.
Elena's Swiss cheese Judy Jetson collection was hideous, so the less said about that crying harpy's collection, the better.
SA's red trench was gorgeous. His scarf dress was amazing. That black dress with the back cutouts - beautiful. The hole punch dominatrix wear - meh. Unlike Issuck, I hated his white dress.
Unfortunately, he designs for stick figure models, so his QVC mini collection is a bust. Too bad they didn't recreate some of the finale looks.
Shame they auffed Irina. Swap her out for Elena, and you'd have had my dream runway.
I feel absolutely crushed. Korto Momolu the bridesmaid AGAIN.
Having said that I can't say that I disagreed with the decision. I think the win could have gone to either her or Henderson and both of the decisions could have been justified.
Slivnyak's collection was easily the weakest. As Mylano pointed out, she's a one trick pony, rehashing the same silhouette. And her looks looked very unfinished (she bit off more than she could chew for such a short amount of time).
Momolu's collection did seem quite uneven. Some stunning pieces but some not developed enough. I thought the stronger looks were fantastic though (that jumpsuit! ) and her collection was the most wearable.
Henderson showed fantastic tailoring and made a very strong statement. But I thought he crossed the line and it was just all too 'Halloween costume' which the styling only accentuated.
I've seen some of Seth-Aaron's pieces locally (a couple of years ago), and they weren't designed for stick figures. Don't like that collection, though.
I think LA is probably a good choice for him. His aesthetic should work pretty well there.

Pomegranate Salad with Pecans and Goat Cheese
The flavor and color of pomegranates are perfect for the holidays. They make a tasty ingredient to any salad. The one thing that you have to be careful about is that when you remove the seeds from the pomegranate the juice flies everywhere! Just when you think you have all the juice spots wiped off the counter and walls the ones you miss always show up when you are entertaining. The best way that works for me is to put a bowl in the sink and gently scrape the content of the pomegranate into the bowl. That way you catch most of the juice and the seeds. The hardest part is removing the white pith so just muscle through it and you are ready to go. Every part of this salad can be done ahead of time so it is just a matter of putting it together when you are ready to serve. It makes a very pretty addition to any holiday table.
Pomegranate Salad with Pecans and Goat Cheese
5 oz of Organic Girl Powerhouse Salad mix which includes baby kale
1 Cup of Pecans, toasted, buttered & salted
4 oz of goat cheese crumbled
½ pomegranate, seeds only (see note above)
Pomegranate Salad Dressing
1 Tablespoon of red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon of pomegranate juice
½ teaspoon of mayonnaise
½ teaspoon of Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon of salt
Black pepper to taste
3 Tablespoons of olive oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a glass pie plate add the pecans, 1 Tablespoon of unsalted butter and a pinch of kosher salt. Bake the pecans for about 8 minutes or until toasted. Shake the pie plate so that all the pecans are covered in butter and salt. Let cool to room temperature. Pecans can be made ahead.
Add all the salad dressing ingredients to a small glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously.
Toss the salad greens with as much dressing as you like. Save the rest and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Plate the salad greens that have been tossed in the dressing. Top with the toasted pecans, pomegranate seeds and the crumbled goat cheese. Grind a few turns of the pepper mill over the top. Serve immediately.
Serves 6-8

Thank You, Valued Clients!
We recently took a look at all the folks coming to our practice and it turns out the most of you are not just our valued clients and friends, but also our neighbors. Personally, that makes me feel great! When I started this practice in 2006, it was my dream to have a modern office that practiced high quality medicine, but without losing it's neighborly, friendly feel.
Now six years later, I realize that all of you have made my dream come true, not just by allowing me to care for your pets, but by telling your friends to come to me as well.
To say thanks and to keep the tradition alive, I'd like to offer all of my existing clients a twenty five dollar credit for any additional patrons you recommend to my practice.
Again, it's my way of thanking you for seeing this 'neighborhood vet' through these past couple of rough years and allowing me to have a fulfilling career practicing veterinary medicine in
Murray Hill.
For exact details please call Murray Hill Pet Hospital at 212-685-2857.

Co-Author of The Grief Recovery
Handbook & When Children Grieve
Where were you when I needed you?
The saddest question we ever hear is, "Where were you when I needed you?"
That's what people ask when they find out what we do in helping grievers. We're presenting helpful and accurate information on this site, at the time you need it most, with the hope that you'll never need to ask that question.
It's an honor and a sad privilege to be addressing you, knowing that each of you has recently experienced the death of someone important to you. We also know some of you are reading this because of your care and concern for someone who is confronted by the death of someone important in their life.
We bring our personal experience in dealing with the deaths of people who were important to us, and our professional know-how in helping grievers for more than 30 years. We'll help you distinguish between the "raw grief" that is your normal and natural reaction to the death, and the equally normal "unresolved grief" that relates to the unfinished emotions that are part of the physical ending of all relationships.
A basic reality for most grieving people is difficulty concentrating or focusing. With that in mind, we asked Tributes.com to print our articles in a large type font to make them easier to read. Sharing our concern for grieving people, they agreed.
From our hearts to yours,
John & Russell

Is Recovery from Grief and Loss Actually Possible?
When people hear the words grief and recovery together, they often say, "I didn't know that recovery from grief was even possible."
Unresolved grief is cumulative and cumulatively negative, and since time can't heal emotional wounds, it is essential that you learn how to grieve and complete the losses that have affected your life.
In this seventh installment of the Tributes.com - Grief Recovery Webinar Series, Russell Friedman, the co-creator of The Grief Recovery Method, tackles the topic of recovery from loss, and explains what recovery is and how it is possible for anyone.
Here is all that's needed:
- An open mind to the possibility of recovery
- Awareness that you may be emotionally incomplete with someone living or dead
- Courage and willingness to take the actions that lead to recovery

The Impact of Grief During the Holiday Season
In this sixth installment of the Tributes.com Grief Recovery Webinar Series, Russell Friedman, the co-creator of The Grief Recovery Method, gives helpful guidance for grieving people who are dealing with the emotions generated during the Holiday Season. This session will be helpful for those who are entering the Holidays for the first time since someone important to them has died, and even if the death occurred a long time ago.
The video topics include:
- The empty seat at the dinner table is a massive reminder of who's not there
- Family rituals that also point out who is missing
- Learn what to say, because not saying anything about the loss can make grievers feel even worse
- Creating a connection with the grieving person helps them participate instead of isolating at this most painful time
There is a 30-second delay at the beginning of the webinar replay

Death of a Child — Unfulfilled Hopes, Dreams and Expectations
In this fifth installment of the Tributes.com Grief Recovery Webinar Series, Russell Friedman, the co-creator of The Grief Recovery Method, explores the emotions surrounding the death of a child and helps the listener begin to uncover the path to recovery. It is also helpful for anyone who has friends or relatives who have experienced the death of a child of any age.
While a still-birth or death at any point after a child is born is obviously devastating for parents, siblings, and other family and friends, miscarriage is a grief event that society often doesn't acknowledge. This webinar addresses miscarriage and also delves into the heartbreak of infertility and the inability to create the family you have dreamed of. The webinar covers the specific topics below as well as questions that were submitted by participants prior to the live event:
- Our relationships with our children begin at conception, and sometimes long before
- Grief is normal and natural but we don't always know what to do with our broken hearts
- The importance of completing the unique relationship before trying again
- Dealing with the well-intentioned but unhelpful things that people say

Death of a Parent — Moving from Grief to Recovery
In this fourth installment of the Tributes.com Grief Recovery Webinar Series, Russell Friedman, the co-creator of The Grief Recovery Method, explores the emotions surrounding the Death of a Parent.
Most of us will experience the death of our parents. Although our connections with our parents started before we can consciously remember, those relationships established a great deal about what we think and believe and much of how we live our lives. It is no wonder that their deaths affect us with so much emotion. The webinar covers the specific topics below as well as questions that were submitted by participants prior to the live event:
- Every Relationship Is Unique – No One Knows How You Feel!
- When Is It Time To Begin To Recover?
- Keeping Fond Memories But Shedding The Pain
