Eating disorder not otherwise specified
|Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS)
|Classification and external resources
Eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) is an eating disorder that does not meet the criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa.[1] Thus, individuals who have clinically significant eating disorders that do not meet DSM-V criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa are diagnosed with EDNOS. Individuals with EDNOS usually fall into one of three groups: subthreshold symptoms of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, mixed features of both disorders, or extremely atypical eating behaviors that are not characterized by either of the other established disorders.[2] In other words, EDNOS acts as a default category, and is defined by what it is not. Currently, EDNOS is the most commonly diagnosed eating disorder in clinical settings. Because little is known about the symptoms, course, and outcome of this heterogeneous category, the preponderance of EDNOS in clinical practice impedes clinical communication, treatment planning, epidemiological inquiry, primary prevention, and basic research.[3]
As EDNOS was initially thought to be rare, and as 5 of the 6 proposed DSM-5 EDNOS presentations are well-defined, it seems likely that the "residual" (undefined) presentation accounts for most of the 40% of eating disorder cases diagnosed as EDNOS. Research is required into how many of these "residual" EDNOS diagnoses were eventually replaced by that of a recognised medical condition, whether psychologically or organically caused. While all organic causes should be ruled out prior to making a diagnosis of an eating disorder, in practice this is difficult as many physical conditions can also result in low weight, and may develop over time.[citation needed]
Rather than providing specific diagnostic criteria for EDNOS, DSM-IV lists six non-exhaustive example presentations, including individuals who:[4]
- Meet all criteria for anorexia nervosa except have regular menstrual cycles
- Meet all criteria for anorexia nervosa except their weight falls within the normal range
- Meet all criteria for bulimia nervosa except they engage in binge eating or purging behaviors less than twice per week or for fewer than three months
- Purge after eating small amounts of food while retaining a normal body weight
- Repeatedly chew and spit out large amounts of food without swallowing
- Meet criteria for binge eating disorder
Although EDNOS (formerly called "atypical eating disorder") was originally introduced in DSM-III to capture unusual cases,[5] it is now the most commonly diagnosed eating disorder. Specifically, EDNOS accounts for approximately 40%[6] to 60%[7][8][9][10] of cases in eating disorder specialty clinics, and up to 90% of eating disorder diagnoses conferred in non-specialty psychiatric settings.[11] The lifetime prevalence of EDNOS in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, a large epidemiological study that interviewed a nationally representative sample of U.S. residents, was 4.64% among adults and 4.78% among adolescents.[12] EDNOS is an especially prevalent category in populations that have received inadequate research attention such as young children, males, ethnic minorities, non-Western groups,[13][14] and the elderly, which is likely due to anorexia and bulimia nervosa's criteria being based upon observations of white adolescent females.[citation needed]
Presentation and course[edit]
Despite its subclinical status in DSM-IV, available data suggest that EDNOS is no less severe than the officially recognized DSM-IV eating disorders. In a comprehensive meta-analysis of 125 studies, individuals with EDNOS exhibited similar levels of eating pathology and general psychopathology to those with anorexia nervosa and binge eating disorder, and similar levels of physical health problems as those with anorexia nervosa.[3] Although individuals with bulimia nervosa scored significantly higher than those with EDNOS on measures of eating pathology and general psychopathology, EDNOS exhibited more physical health problems than bulimia nervosa.[3]
Importantly, an EDNOS diagnosis may presage future diagnostic crossover into officially recognized eating disorder categories. For example, 40% of individuals with EDNOS go on to develop anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa within one[15] to two years.[16]
Medical complications[edit]
The many health problems associated with EDNOS are varied due to the heterogeneous nature of the diagnosis, are both psychological and physical, and vary greatly in severity. They include:
- Osteoporosis[17]
- Ketoacidosis[citation needed]
- Cardiac dysrhythmias[citation needed]
- Pseudo Bartter syndrome[citation needed]
- Oral problems - cheilosis, gingivitis, sialadenosis, etc.[citation needed]
- Hypoglycemia[citation needed]
- Iron Deficiency Anemia
Problems with the EDNOS diagnosis[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (April 2013)
The preponderance of EDNOS in clinical practice poses many clinical and research challenges. Since EDNOS comprises so many heterogeneous presentations, no evidence-based treatment has been developed specifically for EDNOS, and geneticists have not been able to identify specific genes that confer EDNOS risk. Even though EDNOS is a serious eating disorder, health insurance companies may not provide coverage commensurate to that of anorexia or bulimia nervosa, and patients may find the diagnosis invalidating.
Proposed Changes to DSM-5[edit]
To address these concerns, the DSM-5 Eating Disorders Work Group has proposed several revisions to the diagnostic criteria, which they hope will reduce the reliance on EDNOS in clinical settings, and promote treatment-seeking and research among affected individuals. Specifically, DSM-5, which is scheduled for publication in spring 2013, will likely expand the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, and elevate binge eating disorder to a formally recognized diagnosis. Furthermore, DSM-5 plans to rename the EDNOS category Feeding or Eating Disorder Not Elsewhere Classified (FEDNEC), and to provide named descriptions of example presentations, including the following:
- Atypical Anorexia Nervosa in which all criteria for anorexia nervosa are met except that the individual's weight is within or above the normal range
- Subthreshold Bulimia Nervosa (low frequency or limited duration) in which all criteria for bulimia nervosa are met except the binge eating and compensatory behaviors occur on average less than once a week and for less than 3 months
- Subthreshold Binge Eating Disorder (low frequency or limited duration) in which all criteria for binge eating disorder are met, except the binge eating occurs on average less than once a week and for less than 3 months
- Purging Disorder (PD) in which patients purge without binging; they consume a normal amount of food and typically maintain normal weight
- Night Eating Syndrome (NES) in which patients have nocturnal eating episodes, or eat a large proportion of their daily calorie intake after dinner
- Other Feeding or Eating Condition Not Elsewhere Classified which is a residual category for all other cases that are clinically significant but do not meet the criteria for formal eating disorder diagnoses[18]

MANDAN, N.D. (BP) -- The Dakota Baptist Convention will increase its national Cooperative Program giving by 4 percent in 2014, from 16 to 20 percent of offerings from Dakota churches, the result of action by messengers at the DBC's 2013 annual meeting.
In addition, messengers approved a $25,000 increase in the two-state convention's operating budget, stemming from higher Cooperative Program giving this year than anticipated from new churches and stronger churches, leaders said.
Messengers also voted to assume 15 percent more of the responsibility for the DBC budget by the year 2020, from the current 95/5 percent split with the North American Mission Board to 80/20.
The DBC's 2014 budget of $1,214,785, which passed without discussion, includes $846,785 from NAMB and $60,000 from LifeWay Christian Resources. An additional $8,000 interest income is anticipated, for a total of $914,785 from sources other than Dakota Baptists' 92 churches and church-type missions.
Most of the discussion during the DBC's annual meeting at First Baptist Church in Mandan, N.D., centered around the results of the convention's Discovery Task Force.
"The Task Force was an opportunity to develop long-range plans and goals that will lead us to becoming a healthier and more self-supporting convention in the future," said Garvon Golden, DBC executive director and Discovery Task Force chairman.
The group conducted 13 listening sessions across the two states over the last year and met frequently to set the best possible course forward for the Dakota Baptist Convention. The resulting vision and purpose statements were presented to messengers:
Vision: "The Dakota Baptist Convention will become a growing network of reproducing churches across the Dakotas, penetrating lost-ness in local communities in the Dakotas and beyond."
Purpose: "The Dakota Baptist Convention exists as a network of churches to strengthen one another and work together in starting healthy, evangelistic churches."
Messengers unanimously approved 10 task force goals aimed at making the DBC self-supporting.
The goals, to be reached by 2020, include an increase to $400,000 in CP gifts from churches, up from $300,000 anticipated in 2014; 75 percent of churches involved in the DBC, up from about a third in 2013; 500 baptisms, up from 221 this year; and the start of 30 churches.
"The basic long-term idea is that we're going to take ownership of what God wants us to do in the Dakotas," task force member Steve Ford, pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Vermillion, S.D., told messengers. "God has given us the responsibility for reaching the Dakotas. Our goals are steps to get us to ownership."
Planting new churches and strengthening existing congregations will help the DBC meet its goals, Golden added.
"The more churches we have and the more stronger churches we have, the more of an impact we can have on the Dakotas and beyond," he said.
A record 81 messengers from 36 churches attended this year's meeting, along with 42 guests.
This year's meeting opened with a Thursday evening missions banquet, featuring an address by a couple home from their fourth term in a security-sensitive nation. During their 20 years abroad, the couple reported that their outreach has grown from four believers to more than 4,000. Dakota claims this couple as "their own," Golden said, because the wife's parents are members of Calvary Baptist Church in Rapid City, S.D.
Ford, who coordinates an annual mission trip to coastal Uruguay, reported that six people were baptized during the 2013 mission trip there.
Bible studies led by Nate Adams, executive director of the Illinois Baptist State Association, drew from 1 Peter 4 at both the pastors' conference and missions banquet focused on the DBC annual meeting theme of "Helping people on their journeys."
Adams' Friday morning Bible study -- again centered around 1 Peter 4 -- answered the "Why is church worthwhile?" question: "In church we find the power of authentic worship the presence of last friendships the process of positive change the pleasure of meaningful service and the purpose of a worldwide mission."
In addition to greetings from representatives of the International Mission Board, NAMB, LifeWay and Guidestone Financial Resources, SBC Executive Committee President Frank Page thanked Dakota Baptists for their CP gifts to missions and ministries.
"The headquarters of the Southern Baptist Convention is the local church," Page said. "That which we do best, we do together."
CP gifts received by the Executive Committee are released almost immediately into the field, Page said during his message, in one of 22 annual meetings on his fall itinerary.
"We don't hold on to God's money. We never keep money more than four days," Page said. "We send it out to reach the nations for Christ, and across this nation."
In other business, messengers elected by acclamation officers, each unopposed, to one-year terms: president -- Jeff Musgrave, pastor of First Baptist Church of Langdon, N.D., and DBC vice president the last two years; vice president -- Doug Hixson, church planting pastor of Connections Church in Spearfish and Belle Fourche, S.D. Kathy Osborne, a laywoman of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Grand Forks, N.D., was re-elected to a 10th term as recording secretary, with Karen Holmes, Mission Service Corps missionary and pastor's wife at First Baptist Church of Wolsey, S.D., re-elected to a second term as assistant recording secretary.
Messengers approved four resolutions (excerpts follow): 1) "[W]e ... will keep the Lord's covenant for personal or corporate revival as stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14 "; 2) "[W]e ... will lead the way in praying without ceasing"; 3) "[W]e ... will not alter, ignore or manipulate the Word of the Lord but will allow the living Word to speak for itself"; 4) "[W]e ... wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to FBC Mandan and their Pastor Allen Thomason for hosting this year's meeting."
The Dakota convention will celebrate its 30th anniversary during its 2015 annual meeting, Sept. 25-26 at Capitol Heights Baptist Church in Bismarck, N.D.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
It began more than seven years ago. As many couples do, they met at a party. Though
instantly smitten with each other, they each claimed that they were too young to be in a
committed relationship. Both wanted to just have fun and not get tied down into anything
too serious. Yet for months they would attend gatherings with the hope of seeing each
other, all the while feigning indifference if they did not.
Everything changed when Mark's grandfather died. With no one else to lean on, he
called Jennifer. She supported him through this difficult time, and that's when they both
realized that this was more than just a mutual crush. Mark and Jennifer quickly fell in
love and have been inseparable ever since.
Fast-forward to the present day. Though they both work in demanding fields, Mark and
Jennifer had planned to take a few weeks off to attend a family member's wedding in
England, visit Paris, and then head to Mark's ancestral home in Greece. Though Jennifer
was secretly harboring the hope that this trip might end with a ring on her finger, Mark
made it very clear that between work and finances, it just wasn't the right time to get
engaged. Understanding but disappointed, Jennifer decided to ignore all thoughts of an
engagement and just enjoy the vacation.
England was great. Paris was beautiful. Greece was even better. Mark's family hails from
a tiny little town in the mountains of Greece. Though they had visited before, Jennifer
marveled at how gorgeous it was. So far, it had been the perfect trip. She didn't speak
much Greek, but that didn't stop her from having a wonderful time with Mark and his
Their vacation in Europe was finally coming to an end. Mark and Jennifer had just
two more days before having to head back to the United States. Sad to say goodbye,
Jennifer still looked forward to one final night of celebrating in the town square. Literally
everyone, young and old, would be there to eat, drink, and be merry. Mark and Jennifer
were having a fantastic time as they partook of the delicious food and danced to the
beautiful music.
It was coming upon midnight, and the joyous festivities were slowly quieting down. Not
wanting the night to end, the townspeople congregated around a thousand-year-old tree
that stood in the middle of the square. There they continued to enjoy themselves with
their loved ones. Mark and Jennifer soon enough found themselves standing in the middle
of the party and right underneath that ancient tree.
Wondering how she could possibly be any happier, Jennifer suddenly saw Mark go
down on one knee. The music stopped and the rest of the revelers turned their attention
to the young couple. Mark then revealed a stunning round-cut diamond solitaire ring.
Unbeknownst to Jennifer, he had been carrying it with him all throughout their time in
Europe to give to her at this very moment. Wondering if perhaps she – or Mark – had
enjoyed too much of the local wine, she quietly asked him, "What are you doing?"
Smiling, he replied, "Jennifer, I love you. You're my best friend, and I want you to be
with me for the rest of my days. Will you marry me?"
The crowd looked on, smiling and waiting for Jennifer's answer. They didn't have to wait
very long. "Nai," she answered, which is Greek for yes. The townspeople broke out into
huge smiles and loud applause. Some who were fluent in both Greek and English began
to translate what had been said to nearby neighbors. Mark then swept Jennifer into his
arms and kissed her. He took her hand, slipped onto her finger that round-cut diamond
solitaire ring, and turned to the crowd, yelling, "Let's celebrate!" to which he received a
resounding chorus of cheers and laughter. Turning back to his stunned and happy fiancée,
Mark and Jennifer kissed once more as the rest of the crowd began to celebrate. It was the
perfect ending to a perfect vacation.

· Public Works Yard - 3528 Newburg Road
· Waste Reduction Center - 636 Meriwether Avenue
Christmas tree vendors may recycle their unsold trees on Tuesday, December 27 at the Hubbards Lane location.
Persons taking trees to the sites are encouraged to bring containers and take home the fresh, evergreen mulch for use in the spring. For every five trees recycled, approximately 35 pounds of mulch can be created to help nourish new plant and tree growth. The evergreen mulch performs particularly well for acid-loving plants, such as azaleas and rhododendrons.
The holiday tree-recycling program is a Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management initiative. Brightside and Metro Public Works are also partners in the project. Brightside is Louisville's non-profit organization dedicated to promoting environmental stewardship and beautification.

Dr. Lawrence J. McQuillan: Californias Public Pension Crisis
Recorded: Tuesday, June 17, 2014
On June 17, 2014, Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan spoke at an event for supporters of the Independent Institute. Dr. McQuillan spoke about Californias state pension system, a topic he writes about frequently, including in his forthcoming book California Dreamin: Resolving the Public Pension Crisis.
First he defines the types of pension programs for state employees, he outlined how funding for the programs is not sustainable for the promises made to pension recipients. The state admits to an unfunded liability of $140 billion, but McQuillan says that is actually an underestimate. According to most economists, the true amount of the unfunded liability is $430 billion.
How did this happen? McQuillan explains and offers six solutions to keep the pension systems solvent.

Water Fight

Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

Welcome to the world of Airbus
Airbus is the world's leading commercial aircraft manufacturer whose customer focus, commercial know-how, technological leadership and manufacturing efficiency have set the standard for the aviation industry.
Airbus' modern and comprehensive product line comprises highly successful families of aircraft ranging from 100 to more than 500 seats: the single-aisle A320 Family, including the A320neo (new engine option) product line, which is the fastest-selling aircraft in aviation history; the widebody, long-range A330/A340; all-new next generation A350 XWB Family; and the double-deck A380 Family. The company also continues to broaden its scope and product range by applying its expertise to the military market. It is as well extending its portfolio of freighter aircraft for the general and express freight market sectors.
Ensuring the company's full range of jetliners remains at the cutting edge of performance, Airbus is continuously developing product innovations to meet its customers' needs. Airbus' unique approach across all its fly-by-wire aircraft families results in the highest possible degree of commonality in airframes, on-board systems, cockpits and handling characteristics, which significantly reduces airlines' operating costs.
Dedicated to remaining close to its global customer base, Airbus supports its high-quality, safe and reliable in-service fleet with a wide range of customer services, tailored to the needs of individual operators all over the world.
A challenging environment for a high-performing company
Headquartered in Toulouse, Airbus is owned by the Airbus Group, a global leader in aerospace, defence and related services. In addition to Airbus' commercial aircraft activities, this group is comprised of the Airbus Helicopters and Airbus Defence and Space business units and maintains a presence on every continent.
Employing people of more than 100 nationalities, Airbus itself is a truly global enterprise – expanding on its strong European roots to move forward on an international scale with fully-owned subsidiaries in the United States, China, Japan, India and in the Middle East, spare parts centres in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Washington, Beijing and Singapore, training centres in Toulouse, Miami, Hamburg and Beijing and more than 150 field service offices around the world.
Airbus also relies on industrial co-operation and partnerships with major companies all over the world, and a network of some 2,000 suppliers in 20 countries. Airbus today consistently captures about half of all commercial airliner orders.

A U.S. House committee put the Obama administration clean energy policy on trial as it considered legislation that would essentially end the federal loan guarantee program for clean energy technologies.
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
A U.S. House committee put the Obama administration clean energy policy on trial as it considered legislation that would essentially end the federal loan guarantee program for clean energy technologies.
WASHINGTON and SAN JOSE - The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the national trade association for the U.S. solar industry, and SEMI, the global industry association serving the nano- and microelectronics manufacturing supply chains, today announced a partnership to help grow solar energy markets across the country.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement today in response to Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition (SVTC) releasing its 2012 Solar Scorecard.
City officials broke ground Wednesday on a solar panel site that's expected to significantly reduce energy costs on the largest and most expensive project the city's ever undertaken.
The Hertz Corporation HTZ +1.67% announced the upcoming construction of two new solar installation sites this year as the initial launch of Phase Two of the company's solar energy program: Newark International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport. Combined, the new locations will generate more than 800,000 kilowatt hours of renewable energy and save 641 tons (581 metric tons) of carbon emissions annually.
Well, it looks like the Solar Decathlon officially has a new home and it's not exactly a big shocker that the 2013 edition will not be held in or around Washington, D.C.
After a summer hearing about the death of Solyndra, you couldn't be blamed for not knowing that the solar industry is exploding in this country. And it's not just selling panels--an entire industry is springing up around people getting energy from the sun.
Assisted by technological innovation and years of subsidies, the cost of wind and solar power has fallen sharply — so much so that the two industries say that they can sometimes deliver cleaner electricity at prices competitive with power made from fossil fuels.
The world's leading home furnishings retailer will activate 4,186 solar panels Tuesday morning atop its 344,000-square-foot Butler County location.
Is the sun setting on Colorado's renewable energy sector? Has the wind left our sails? Can we conjure more stale metaphors for renewable energy that relate to the industry's possible contraction? The answers are maybe, perhaps, and one emphatic yes.

Date Reviewed: September 25, 2012
Strengths: strong easy to use an looks ace if you match your xtr disc calipers with that years version.
xtr front chainsets may have gone downhill but the rest of there kit is ace its a shame its so overpriced
Weaknesses: older versions like mine an older are better an look more sexy than the newer models which just look like a pimped XT with a R at the end
Bottom Line:
these days there should be a rethink on the prices 299 upwards for a xtr crank an even deores are 70quid now its getting silly in the uk , deore should be 45 lx 75 xt 100 an xtr 210 if they were i would not even look at other brands but sadly they remain T00 Dear,
an i only buy them when theres a sale on
so apart from modern xtr chain rings being weaker than middleburns the rest of there xtr kit is flawless
, xt an lx an deore are good but they have all let me down at some point an the price of xt these days it should be as flawless as xtr just heavier but sadly there not quite as good as xtr it has to be said
anyway best part about my xtr skewers (2006 version)
is i paid just £25 all in, for the front an back brand new thanks to a cool dude in usa , they had never been used not a mark on them ,

Date Reviewed: September 11, 2001
Bottom Line:
The Shimano XT skewer is sadly deficient.
First, the nut is hard to turn. I almost need pliers to loosen my skewers, even after lubing.
Second, the lever side of the skewer cannot rotate a complete revolution on my 2000 Marzoochi x-fly fork. The lever hangs up on the drop-out.
I replaced these skewers with old (admittedly expensive, ti) skewers from another bike which rotate just fine on the x-fly fork, and are much lighter also.
Shimano, you can do better! The XT skewer only merits one chili, but I don't want to throw off the tally for the XTR skewers so I'm putting down a five chili rating.

Narrow your search
Another as-long-as-you're-out service is about to launch, but this one has a more karmic motive than competitors.
A former exec from Kozmo.com, a company much celebrated for delivering munchies and movies to customers' homes before it closed down 10 years ago, has built his own delivery service. Unlike Kozmo, this one is profitable.
Some popular Web companies may be vulnerable to the economic slowdown. Do they face an ill fate similar to that of the beloved delivery service of the last bubble?
It's not a crowdsourced Kozmo. It is a credible challenger to eBay and Craigslist.
LicketyShip, a.k.a. Kozmo 2.0, is offering its service for free today.
The San Francisco startup hopes its Express subscription service can change shoppers' behavior by giving them free and fast delivery of groceries and, later, other items.
A not-very-close second-place player to Groupon in the daily deals market, this investment may give LivingSocial some extra momentum in the likely event that Groupon is acquired by Google.
New crowd commerce models lower prices, get more people working, and level resource use. But will they work in the long term and on a large scale?

Muthu "Raj" Varadharajan, the newest member of the Tracy Leadership Toastmaster Club, gave his first speech to the group Tuesday. The icebreaker speech is the first step in the process of building public speaking skills by being part of Toastmasters.
The group aims to help members gain confidence in giving presentations or speaking to an audience.
During the club's Feb. 25 meeting, Khyra Kolidakis, a senior at Kimball High School, shared her concept of community service with TLC members.
Drawing on her experience traveling nationally and internationally as a member of the Chicago Children's Choir, Kolidakis defined a person who does community service as a "giver of hope" who connects with people, expecting nothing in return. TLC members encouraged her and made minor recommendations for her speech.
As the winner of the Tracy Breakfast Lions Club's Student Speech Contest, Kolidakis went on to represent Tracy at the next level Thursday.
TLC normally meets at noon Tuesdays at City Hall, Room 203, but the meeting next week will be in Room 109. All are welcome.

I don't want to serve a full meal, can I bring in my own snacks?

Jerry Sandusky verdict: Guilty on 45 counts of child sex abuse
The jury in the child sex abuse trial of former Penn State University football coach Jerry Sandusky has found him guilty on 45 of the 48 counts of abuse he was facing.
Sandusky now faces a maximum sentence of 442 years in prison.
The crowd gathered outside the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania erupted in cheers after the jury announced guilty verdict after guilty verdict. Sandusky was led from the courtroom in handcuffs.
Jurors reached the verdict after two days of deliberations.Sandusky, 68, was facing 48 counts of abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period in a case that stunned the university, refocused attention on the issue of child sexual abuse in the United States and led to the firing of Penn State President Graham Spanier and legendary head football coach Joe Paterno.
Meanwhile, as jurors in the child sex abuse trial of Jerry Sandusky worked into the night to reach a verdict on Friday, his lawyer predicted the outcome, telling reporters he would be shocked if the one-time Penn State assistant football coach was acquitted of all charges.
"I would die of a heart attack – shocked – if he was acquitted on all of the charges," Joe Amendola told reporters awaiting the verdict in the courtroom, despite a standing gag order for the attorneys in the case.
Amendola's off-the-cuff remark was the latest of several quips he made to reporters covering the trial this week. Previously he compared the trial to a TV soap opera, which earned him a trip to Judge John Cleland's chambers.
Emerging from his meeting with Cleland, Amendola made a zipping motion at his mouth and said Cleland had told him: "Joe, you're going to the prayer corner."

Scientists said they were delighted with Stardust samples returned from the tail of a comet after an almost three-billion-mile journey.
Speaking at NASA's Johnson Space Center, Dr. Peter Tsou, Stardust deputy principal investigator, said researchers were ecstatic with the collection of the cometary and solar materials from outer space.
"Stardust is the realization of a 25-year dream to capture and return samples from a comet," Dr. Tsou, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Pasadena, Calif., told news media representatives at Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center and NASA Headquarters.
"This exceeded all of our grandest expectations," stated Dr. Donald Brownlee, Stardust principal investigator, also astronomy professor at the University of Washington, as he described the capsule return and capture process. The material responsible for capturing the tiny particles -- Aerogel -- is a sponge-like solid made of 99 percent empty space.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, July 8 (HealthDay News) -- Lace-up ankle braces may help
prevent ankle sprains and fractures in high school basketball
players, a new study finds.
The researchers looked at 1,460 male and female basketball
players, aged 13 to 18, from 46 high schools across the United
States. Some wore a lace-up ankle brace made of synthetic fabric,
while others wore no ankle brace. During the study, acute ankle
injuries occurred in 27 of the athletes wearing ankle braces and in
78 of those without braces.
The findings were to be presented Friday at the American
Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine annual meeting in San
"Basketball has one of the higher rates for ankle injuries, and this study illustrates how a simple brace can help keep an athlete on the court," lead researcher Timothy A. McGuine, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in a society news release.
"Seeing more than three times the amount of acute ankle injuries without the brace is a telling statistic," he said. "Having more players wear a brace on a regular basis would help prevent injury."
Experts note that research presented at meetings is considered
preliminary because it has not been subjected to the rigorous
scrutiny required for publication in a peer-reviewed medical
