Foods That Fight Winter Depression
When long nights bring on a long face, this can mean seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Here are some tips to help fight off the winter blues.
By Jean Lawrence
Reviewed By Michael Smith
The winter blues can leave you not only feeling down in the dumps, but they can also send you rummaging for sweets. Don't get caught up in this vicious cycle.
Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a form of depression that affects 25 million Americans, mostly women. Much research has been done on this mysterious disorder.
In somewhat of a simplification, the lack of light in wintertime can result in lower levels of serotonin, the mood-enhancing chemical that regulates hunger and the feeling of well-being.
Serotonin production increases with light, meaning that gray gloom creeping in the window is not kicking the production of feel-good chemicals into action.
Some symptoms include depression, marathon napping, low self-esteem, obsessiveness over little things, irritability, shyness, and panic attacks. People with seasonal affective disorder may also sleep poorly (although for many hours), partly because they don't have enough serotonin to convert to the sleep substance melatonin.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and people generally recover completely around April or May - once the days become longer.
Treatment includes light therapy and/or medications. However, there are things you can do yourself that can help boost serotonin levels.
3 Ways to Boot up Your Serotonin
Julia Ross, MA, is director of the Recovery Systems Clinic in San Francisco and author of The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure. She tells WebMD there are three ways to jump-start your serotonin:
More Nutritional Tips for Raising Mood in Winter
Ross also recommends a nutritional supplement called 5HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), which raises serotonin levels. This is not for everybody -- read the label carefully. For instance, people with heart problems should not take it. Also remember that supplements such as this one are not as closely regulated by the government and may contain questionable substances. Ross says 5HTP should only be taken for a short period, to bump up serotonin levels, which will then stay elevated. "You don't take it forever," she says.
Protein, she says, should be eaten three times a day. Another good rule is to eat four cups of brightly colored veggies a day. "This is enough to fill a (pardon the expression) 1 quart ice cream container." Vegetables are carbs, but the kind that feed into your system slowly.
Samantha Heller, MS, RD, senior clinical nutritionist at the NYU Medical Center, tells WebMD it's best to substitute fruit for cookies and chocolate ice cream. In general, the good carbs of veggies, fruit, and beans help energy levels.
"If weight gain in the winter months is your concern," Heller says, "you should get a healthy eating plan from a registered dietitian."
Timing Is Also Everything
It's fashionable to urge people to eat half a dozen small meals a day, but this is an individual preference, Heller says.
"If you eat lunch at one o'clock and know you won't have dinner until eight o'clock, you may need a snack. If you eat junk food for lunch, by four o'clock you will be foraging for chocolate."
She urges people to try eliminating all white, starchy foods for two weeks -- bread, rice, potatoes. "You will be amazed at how good you feel," she says. "But you need to stick to it to see a difference."

The constant pounding of drenching rain did not damper the spirit of giving or the dedicated drive of three undaunted Marines.
On Saturday, FOX 5 took part in the annual Toys for Tots campaign sponsored by the US Marine Corps at an area Publix store. As the skies poured, the giving failed to wane. The mission to collect toys for the needy just got bigger; got better.
The kindness and dedication of our beloved Atlantans could fill a million-plus Christmases with cheer. But what really caught my attention during all the spirited giving was three Marines dressed neatly in their rich navy blue, standing on the wall. The wall wasn't an invisible boundary that divides one mountainous war zone from another. On this day, the wall weaved through the overflow of people of all walks of life who braved inclement weather to support a common cause: Toys for Tots. Within that crowd stood members of the Marine Corps Combat Logistics Regiment 45. Sgt. Ernstar Coriolan, Cpl. Martisha Tanner and Cpl.Taylor Dedrick, all under the ageof 25, are on a mission that far surpasses their years. Semper Fidelis, "always faithful," has been the Marine Corps motto since 1883. Soldiers say it's a valued reminder to remain faithful to each other and to country -- no matter what. "Being a Marine means serving at home for sure," Dedrick said. "But serving abroad during a war makes you a Marine forever."These Marines equate providing the needs at home with providing the needs of our country. They are always at the ready to guard that wall-wherever and whenever."Serving at home and abroad are a privilege," says Sgt. Ernstar Coriolan, who served two tours in Afghanistan. The Marine's Toys for Tots program has been going strong since 1947. Its website says the purpose is to send a message of hope.As these three young Marines stood on the wall of the Great Toy Drop, they offered that hope...not only for children in need, but for a country in constant alteration."College was not for me. After enlisting, I knew right away that the being Marine was me," says Corporal Martisha Tanner.

Startech revealed at the Geneva Motor Show a tuning kit based on the current generation Chrysler 300C. The tuning kit adds front spoiler and custom-tailored mounting elements with daylight running lights, giving the 300C a more sportier look.
The Startech Chrysler 300C is powered a 3.0-liter V6 common-rail turbodiesel engine that bumps power output from standard 218 hp (214 hp SAE net) / 160 kW to 262 hp (259 hp SAE net) / 193 kW at 4,000 rpm. Even more important for everyday driving is the increase in torque from 510 Nm to 580 Nm (376 to 428 lb-ft), available already between 1,600 and 2,800 rpm.
The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is shortened from 7.6 (wagon: 7.9) seconds for the production car to 7.2 (Touring: 7.5) seconds with STARTECH SD6 tuning. Top speed grows to 238 (wagon: 232) km/h (149 and 145 mph).

STAFF WRITER | February 02,2013State officials are preparing to launch a new sex offender registration database and website that they say will provide the public with more tools to identify sex offenders in their communities.
Following an audit three years ago that identified a need for more accurate and timely reporting, Department of Public Safety officials began working to install a new system already used in 34 other states, according to DPS Commissioner Keith Flynn.
The Legislature directed us to get the system cleaned up, Flynn said. Thats what we did and its a substantial upgrade.
The new OffenderWatch system coming online soon will eliminate typographical errors by reducing the number of times data is manually entered into the system and it will post updates in real time, Flynn said.
Statewide mapping capabilities are built into the software and a number of new features are included.
For starters, the system will send offenders periodic electronic and telephone requests for address verifications.
Offenders can also use email to update their addresses and living status.
The system will also allow law enforcement agencies in and outside of the state greater access to information about offenders.
Residents will have greater access to information as well, Flynn said. This includes email alerts, for those who register on the new website, about new Internet-posted sex offenders moving into their city or town.
Vermont has 1,197 registered sex offenders, nearly 1,000 of whom meet the criteria to be posted on the website. The criteria include aggravated sexual assault of a child, kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault, a designation as a sexual predator, and failing to comply with required treatment.
The new website will also provide specific addresses for sex offenders once legislative changes are made, Flynn said.
Presently, state officials release the name of the town or city of a sex offender whose profile is posted on the website, but not the name of the street they live on.
Vermont statute still prohibits public safety officials from releasing that information. But Flynn said lawmakers stated in the past that once the department corrected problems with the website the Legislature would add street addresses to the Internet profiles.
The new $403,500 system has proved successful in other states, he said, and the cost of its purchase and implementation in Vermont was paid for entirely by two federal grants.
The new site can be found at www.communitynotification.com/vermont/.

Good Morning! Today's topic is courtesy of our fabulous "Sexyleggs". I think she has a pretty interesting topic that would be great to explore. Have you ever heard the saying, "Better the devil you know, then the one you don't"? What happens when fear of singlehood is the primary reason you are with someone? Check out what SexyLeggs wrote and join in the discussion.
Do you find that more and more people are staying in loveless, boring or even painful relationships because they're afraid of being alone? For those of you that stay, or know of friends that stay, could one of the reasons be that you see your "worth" being defined by your relationship or marriage?
Although I certainly DO NOT agree with this, I realize there are many people "stuck" in relationships and marriages because to leave would be a stigma to their family and to their belief system. They don't want anyone to know that they failed at the institution of marriage. Are you one of those who fear starting over and deem it best to stay on familiar ground?
Some people look at becoming single as a phobia, so to speak. Why do you think the fear of being alone and venturing back into the dating world would have one break out in a cold sweat? Fear is our enemy and it has a hold on many relationships/marriages. Does it have a hold on yours?

Some of my gf's and I have had this discussion. It's not the fear of starting over, it's the inconvenience.
I'm sure I could write a dissertation on it. I won't.
It's just that, like anything worthwhile, setting the foundation of a new relationship requires a LOT OF WORK. Oftentimes, it feels like it's easier to attempt to repair what's wrong in the relationship that you already have than it is to scrap the whole mess and begin again with someone new.
In the end, you really have to define dealbreakers. You have to know when to let it lie where it fell. You have to determine when you have really reach the point of irreconcilable differences and stop trying to reconcile them.
Good job, Leggs.

I would imagine this happens quite often especially with individuals who have been part of a union for 20-30 years.
Sometimes we as people can become dependent on each other and the thought of going at it alone can be frightful. I think about those couples that married like right out of high school and find themselves parting ways after 30 years. They don't anything or anybody else but each other. They became a union knowing nothing about life and relationships. Everything that they learned they did so with each other. For them there is nothing outside of that. Then for them to think about getting out there and being single again and starting over, I guess some would just rather tolerate and make the best of what they have and not be alone.

On to the topic… yesterday I was hanging with my girls during the early afternoon. They asked me what I had planned to do for the rest of the day and I told them that I had a date, but I was going to cancel to do housework. I had been running hard all weekend without one moment for myself. I was tired and needed to get myself in order for the week. One of my girls immediate concluded that I must not be into the guy because I was passing on a date to do housework. It wasn't further from the truth. I was very interested, but I knew I would be no good on a date if I were tired, cranky and my head was not in it. Sure enough, the guy understood and we were able to reschedule.
To tie it into the topic, had I had a fear or disdain for being alone and flying solo, maybe I would have felt a sense of urgency like my friend did. But it's not a fear of mine, so that's that.
And in terms of "starting over." I don't care for that, but I just wrap my mind around that every moment I spend with the wrong one, keeps me from meeting the right one.

I remember when my first husband was killed I was extremely frightful because he was my first and only love at that time. We had been together since I was 16, married at 19 and was married for 4 years. Not to mention we had a son. It was a horrible feeling. After about a year I didn't want to be alone anymore and that want more than likely lead me to making a really unintelligent decision to be with the man that fathered my second son.
You just have to be careful. Fear can not only make you stay longer than you should but it can also lead to making bad decisions. Fear can blind you.

Ok, still not able to breathe after finding out Ared is dating other guys. Anyone have a hanky?
Am on day 2 of a 4 day weekend. Can you believe I took off with the soul purpose of sleeping? I did. It feels so good to get a good nights rest.
Also, I had 4000 songs in my music collection and just picked up 17,000 more. Woohoo. This is some hot stuff. Spending all day getting it sorted and whatnot.
On a sad note, my dog training club has split up into 2 groups. Personality conflicts. One for sport and one for protection. Wait, thats not sad, nevermind. LOL
On topic: I'd rather be in a good relationship with me than a bad one with someone else. Solo is not a bad word, at least not for me.
Fear is just a mirage. Next time you fear something walk into it and it loses its power. Works every time. Unless its a high ledge, then I'd recommend living with your fear.
Update: One of my goals for Kuwait is getting back to a 31-32 inch waist. I'm currently holding at around 34 and heading south fast. Working hebrew hours with little food in the the desert heat does wonders for the figure. Who'd of thunk it?
Ared, though I'm not talking to you, I bet Blanca has hit the road. She was looking for an exit from day 1. She did make it longer than I thought though. Ok, back to no longer speaking to you.
April 27th, 2009
9:37 am
Glad you got some rest man. I know you deserve it and I know you can't NOT speak to your little love muffin. Give me some suga.
BTW, do they have cheap ipods over there? The hard drive in mine is shot which means buy a new one, not worth the cost of repair. 17,000 songs? Egads. I don't even like that many songs. That's hot tho.

Amazon my weekend was good, that is during the hours that I was not trying to sleep. We have a tree about 5-6ft. away from our window and Saturday we found out a woodpecker has taken a liking to the tree. At first I thought it was someone working. I was lying there early Saturday morning thinking what in the world is that person thinking at this time of the morning. I soon realized it was right outside my window. Annoying. Totally.
I begged Mason to please go and get that thing out of the tree. He and the knucklehead went out and tried throwing gravy from the flower bed up at it. I guess one at a time didn't work because I heard what sounded very familiar to the hail storm we had the other night against the window. I yelled at both of them to stop throwing stone before the break the window. Thankfully one of the stones must have hit or near the little pecker because he stopped. But as you know early, early Sunday morning there he was again pecking away at that tree.
This time they got the water hose and tried to flush him. Mason was standing at the window navigating while the knucklehead stood under the tree spraying the hose. I could him hear him yelling "dad I am getting wet" and Mase yelling back boy that water won't hurt you, spray the bird. He was soaking wet when he came back in the house. LOL
I guess spraying it with the water hose helped because I didn't hear it this morning.
I guess woodpeckers aren't "afraid of flying solo" because there was only one in the tree and we all know that birds of feather flock together. (corny I know but I am back on topic now)

I agree with **SexyCool**, it is very inconvenient starting over. I will not stay in a miserable boyfriend-girlfriend situation or one that's just not working, but I am willing now to work through minor issues, even some major ones, in a relationship that would have caused me to vacate a few years ago. I realized that these are skills I'd have to learn anyway if I was serious about being married one day. I can't throw the baby out with the bathwater anymore.
It is a LOT of work building a foundation with someone else, as she said. I'm perfectly willing to do it if I have to, but if what I have right now just needs a little tweaking, I'd rather put my energy into that.

I've seen so many of my girlfriends stay with dead beat fools b/c they wanted a man around just that bad….they'd rather be unhappy with a man than be alone without one. Not me…if I'm unhappy being WITH you then guess what I'M OOOUUUTT.
I'd rather be happy alone than miserable with someone else….then we'd be two sad,mad fools together and lawd knows that ain't good…

Morning Blog! I got a chance to partake of the wonderful weather this weekend. Took the kids to the Jonquil Festival in Smyrna and we had a good time. Did a little yardwork on Saturday and spent most of the late afternoon-early evening watching the 100 greatest hip-hop songs countdown on VHI with SO & one of his buddies. Brought back a lot of fun memories.
On topic – I figured out long ago that peace of mind means the world to me. Being in a relationship that is not firing on all cylinders is absolutely miserable to me! I did not really date for almost 2 years until I met SO, because I was drained from bad relationship after bad relationship. I went out on a few platonic dates and mostly hung out with family & friends. I had a blast – no worries, no "work". I vowed the next person I got involved with would share my new philosophy – keep it easy & simple & all will fall in place. I hit the jackpot.

It is so sad to see people hanging on, long after it's over. Yeah it's a pain trying to get out and meet new people & start over, but may as well. If you're in a bad relationship that is past its expiration date, you're already alone anyway.

No – shthead. It's your responsibility to fill the d@mn paperwork out correctly in the first d@mn place. Besides, you've had this doggone paperwork for three months. Now that you've decided it's urgent, you expect it to be MY emergency? GTFOH.

Good morning everyone!
@SexyCool—->It's not the fear of starting over, it's the inconvenience. You are so right!
I am so tired this morning. Beautiful weekend and I felt I had to take in all the sun rays. Draging this morning, but I had fun. My dauther and I are taking belly dance classes and it was so much fun.
@ARed, I gave up a good afternoon card party of Bid Whist because I had to cook, do laundry and clean house yesterday around 5:00. My friend couldn't believe that I was going home to do that on such a beautiful day. Heck, it was Sunday and I had to get ready for the week. My priorities (albeit boring) are in order.
On topic…I was fearful of starting over with an 11 year old, not fearful of being alone. My fear kept me "stuck" for many years. As with everyone of us, one day you just open your eyes and realize "I can do this" and the wheels of change are now in motion. No looking back and I'm happier than ever!

April 27th, 2009
11:03 am
WISE….I find that I have the opposite of this…I have the fear of being in a relationship! Anything remotely resembling one makes me freak out and feel like I will have a panic attack.
I do think it is not only sad but pathetic to remain in bad relationship for the sake of being with someone. These people need help. Why the fear of being alone? Most are born alone and you will die alone so are you that needy that you must have someone…ANYONE in your life? I know people like this and I just want to smack the hell out of them. Life is way too short to waste it away on someone unworthy of you/ I must say past experiences have mad me quick with the "foot in @ss" reflex to kick a to dude to the curb for being not want I desire to have in my life. Red flags are not ignored anymore. Bad relationships are like expired food…TOXIC! Know when to throw it away and keep it moving. Some women hold on because they had a baby with him. NOT a good reason. You made one mistake by being with him and getting pregnant. The child itself is not the mistake…but the fact of matter is now this person is a part of your life no matter what even if he is a deadbeat. But hodling yourself back from finding someone deserving of you because he is the sperm donor for your kid is a prison that you put yourself in…and what was your crime? Does is fit?
TRUTH…."Working hebrew hours with little food in the the desert heat does wonders for the figure" Well hell I need to be onver there, My waist if fine….it's the booty I need to lose. So I'm coming!
BLANCA left????? Wow!

I do have a male friend that absolutely dreaded trying to find someone new after he got a divorce from his 20yr marriage. He was always meeting a chick, but he dreaded the process of getting to know someone all over again and then them asking the questions, dealing with their trust issues etc. He hated it.

single women, imo, are not scared to be single. it's our choice. if we really wanted to, we can all be married . . . today! by tearing up those lists we cherish so much . . . that man is standing right in front of us.

Raqi – It took me a couple of reads before I realized you were talking about gravel and not gravy.
Leggs – So glad you are happier than ever. I was reading this back issue of Essence this weekend and there was this article on women who were smart, got tested with their partners, etc and their partners still brought gave them AIDS. Made me think about being single for the long term, albeit briefly.

most wives who won't leave their husbands are being selfless. they know it's not all about them.
when i left, it was selfish.

I hate to bring up old stuff but…
See now why you get 'em?
On topic:
I agree with Ms. SexyCool, it is inconvenient to start a new relationship, but sometimes you gotta. Doesn't make it any easier, but better to be alone and happy, than miserable with someone you can't stand.
As far as staying with someone because of the stigma attached, I can actually dig that Ms. Leggs. There is (at least for me) a certain obligation to a person that you "spend time" with. And that obligation will keep you in something that is detrimental to you in the long run.
All of us (well maybe not Truth) have to remember that you have to learn to love yourself more than you love someone else sometimes.

Staceye, they say most people here lose 20-35 pounds each summer based on being outdoors in 130 temps for 12 hours. I think we can come up with a better plan for staying slim than frying in the desert sun. PLus I dont think this country is ready for you. LOL
Beautiful, thats a pretty positve attitude. What would you have to change about yourself to become awifey?

**Why do you think the fear of being alone and venturing back into the dating world would have one break out in a cold sweat?**
the game has changed for the worst. while married she prolly seen what her single friends went thru with trying to find a man and thanked God she was in a relationship or married.
my expectations going into singledom were set high and i was knocked on my a$$ when i moved to GA.

OMG, I thought you meant gravy and was wondering how the heck that was working. Meant to ask but forgot. That was too funny. Throwing gravy at a woodpecker. I'm tearing up just from laughing at that. I thought you were serious!
@Staceye, I got the hip action down pat (go figure). The routine she's teaching us is off the chain. Of course lil leggs is a freaking quick learning…wassup w/these teenagers catching on so quickly. Any hoo…still having problems with the shoulders. I'm still trying to "isolate." Easier said than done! Too much tension in my shoulders! Need a massage w/hot oils, and I'm not kidding!
@ARed, thanks. I too am glad I'm happy. Must admit, I thought of my marriage this weekend and smiled even wider knowning I'm done with that. Sorry, but I did! At that moment, lil leggs asked what I was smiling about and the quick thinker I need to be at times said, oh, nothing, just smiling at the line in the song! Great recovery on my part because Leona ??? was on the radio singing "Bleeding."

Has anyone had to let go of a friend because of the trife "boyfriend" she had. I did. It wasn't fun. But I couldn't stand the always negative energy that their relationship imposed on me and mine. My SO got so tired of me talking about them that the subject of their tumultuous relationship was off limits. There relationship lasted entirely too long. Now she has a baby with him
I actually wasn't the only one that she lost as a friend…
April 27th, 2009

**What would you have to change about yourself to become a wifey?**
honestly, not much. there are three men right now that i see daily who i wouldn't give the time of day to. just not my type. they adore me and if i let them, they'll be eating right outta my hand.
when i meet a man i like, i get butterflies. i can't sleep or eat. all giddy and smiles. none of them do that to me.
getting married is easy. finding my future hubby is tough.

I don't think women fear being alone as much as they fear the happiness they are chasing.

**Do you find that more and more people are staying in loveless, boring or even painful relationships because they're afraid of being alone?**
leaving a relationship is a lot of work. it's easier to stay for most. do you have funds saved up for another place to stay? are all of the house bills in both of your names? do you own a house together? is the car you driving to get yourself to work his??? is the property/furniture you guys own both of yours? are your families tight like that? are the checking/savings in both of your names?
once she thinks about the above, she most likely will put it off till next year. then the next year . . . then the next. saving money is hard.

" I'd rather be in a good relationship with me than a bad one with someone else. Solo is not a bad word, at least not for me." I 2ND THAT

Beautiful leaving a relationship is a lot of work. it's easier to stay for most. do you have funds saved up for another place to stay? are all of the house bills in both of your names? do you own a house together?
Yeah, it's a lot when you think about it in those terms, like ending a marriage. But for the types of relationships I've been in, it ain't nearly that hard. You might have to block a number or two, but that's about it. LOL!
That sounds like another strike against co-habitation for me. Why the heck would I entertain the possibility of having to rebuild my whole life just because me and my boyfriend broke up?
April 27th, 2009
11:46 am
Ared, I'm lifting my non-speaking ban for today only. When you brought up that Essence article I thought of an inmate at the federal pen. He was a high ranking muslim and he had givenn his wife aids. When he tried to call her she wouldn't take his call, quite naturally, and we'd wind up having to wup his azz. He got put in segragation for along time and eventually died. Thing is I cant imagine giving that to somebody you care for. Thats why I'm faithful to YOU.
Angie, leaving is easy as pie if you have a standard. Set your standard and enforce it. It doesn't matter the excuse, if you start slipping I bounce. This is how people wind up in dead azz relationships, they give their mate a "pass" because they love them. Because I love you I'm keeping the heat on because if I let you slip up I'm gonna lose you. I'll give you the best I have and you do the same.
For Real, yeah they have me on a high broil program. This is inhuman. LOL

Anybody going to KFC today to get a piece of the Free Grilled Chicken?
April 27th, 2009

1) Co-habitation isn't bad as long as both people realize that as far as money goes, there's an "us", a "mine" and "yours". It's tough a lot of times to do that, because of the false notion that "what's mine is yours" prior to marriage. So don't give up hope, just think it through to both the good and bad outcomes and prepare for each.
2) Popeye's had that $4 chicken joint last Wednesday, I thought I was going to have to file a missing persons report on like 10 family members, but all of 'em were in line waiting on chicken. Go at your own risk (of waiting, cause Black folk love us some "free")

In my preceding blogpost, I argued that the developments of the last five years have sharply pointed up the limitations of Inflation Targeting (IT), much as the currency crises of the 1990s dramatized the vulnerability of exchange rate targeting and the velocity shocks of the 1980s killed money supply targeting. But if IT is dead, what is to take its place as an intermediate target that central banks can use to anchor expectations?
The leading candidate to take the position of preferred nominal anchor is probably Nominal GDP Targeting. It has gained popularity rather suddenly, over the last year. But the idea is not new. It had been a candidate to succeed money targeting in the 1980s, because it did not share the latter's vulnerability to shifts in money demand. Under certain conditions, it dominates not only a money target (due to velocity shocks) but also an exchange rate target (if exchange rate shocks are large) and a price level target (if supply shocks are large). First proposed by James Meade (1978), it attracted the interest in the 1980s of such eminent economists as Jim Tobin (1983), Charlie Bean (1983), Bob Gordon (1985), Ken West (1986), Martin Feldstein & Jim Stock (1994), Bob Hall & Greg Mankiw (1994), Ben McCallum (1987, 1999), and others.read more

Ira Obed Schaub (1880-1971) was born in Stokes County, North Carolina, on September 28, 1880. The fourth of five sons of William Henry and Mary Grabs Schaub, he attended Pinnacle Academy in the town of Pinnacle, North Carolina. From 1896 to 1900, he attended North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later North Carolina State University) and was one of the college's first graduates, receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry. Upon his graduation from North Carolina State, Schaub did graduate work in chemistry at Johns Hopkins University, leaving before receiving a degree. His first job was as assistant chemist in the Illinois Experiment Station, where he worked for nearly two years. In 1905, Schaub moved to Iowa and became assistant professor of soils at Iowa State College. Schaub returned to North Carolina State College in 1909 and became involved in work with boys' and girls' 4-H clubs until 1913, when he became superintendent of farm demonstration work for the Frisco Railroad, based in Springfield, Missouri. In 1918, when, due to World War I, the Frisco Railroad was taken over by federal authorities, Schaub began work for the United States Department of Agriculture as their field agent for southern states.
In 1924, Schaub again returned to North Carolina State College and worked as director of agricultural extension through his retirement in 1950. In 1926, Schaub became Dean of the School of Agriculture at North Carolina State College, a position he held through 1945 concurrently with his agricultural extension work. He was also the director of North Carolina State College's Experiment Station from 1937 through 1940.
Schaub was active in many organizations during his life, including the Kappa Sigma fraternity, the City of Raleigh Planning Commission, the Agricultural Foundation of North Carolina, the State Council of National Defense, the Pine Burr Scholarship Society of North Carolina State College, the North Carolina Agricultural Hall of Fame Board of Directors, and the North Carolina Rural Rehabilitation Board. He was an unofficial North Carolina State University historian, composing manuscripts on former faculty members and the board of trustees of the college. Schaub also consulted with the first North Carolina State University Archivist on the activities and operations of the University Archives. He received two honorary doctorates of agriculture: one from Clemson University in 1937 and one from N.C. State in 1951.
Schaub married Maud Kennedy, daughter of an Iowa farm family, on July 27, 1910. The Schaubs had two children: Maud Kennedy and Ira Obed, Jr. Schaub died on September 13, 1971, in Raleigh at the age of 90.
The Ira Obed Schaub Papers contains materials relating to the professional and personal life of Ira Obed Schaub. It also contains information about Schaub's wife,
The collection is organized into four series:
Processed by Stephanie Horowitz; Machine-readable finding aid created by Stephanie Horowitz; Updated by Aaron Cusick, 2009 November
The Professional series is divided into five subseries: Correspondence, Writings, News Articles, External Publications, and Awards and Certificates. The series contains information about Ira Obed Schaub's professional career in agriculture. The bulk of the material concerns Schaub's work in the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service and in the Department of Agriculture at North Carolina State College. However, there are also a number of documents relating to Schaub's work with 4-H Clubs, the Frisco Railroad, the United States Department of Agriculture, and several consulting projects. The series also contains general materials on agriculture written by Schaub and collected by Schaub due to their relation to his career. Finally, the series includes awards and honors given to Schaub for aspects of his professional career from various organizations.

This series includes three subseries. The first subseries, constituting the bulk of the series, is Ira Obed Schaub. This subseries contains documents relating to Schaub's education at North Carolina A & M, Schaub's compositions on the history of North Carolina State University, two travel journals, and other information relating to Schaub's community involvements and hobbies. It contains one sub-subseries, Personal Correspondence. The Maud Kennedy Schaub subseries contains the envelopes for numerous sewing patterns, several documents regarding her community involvement and schooling, and a manuscript composed by Maud Schaub before her marriage entitled "Heroes of Obscurity." The final subseries, Family, includes several documents relating to both Ira and Maud Schaub, including a bridal book with wedding guest information, as well as documents relating to other members of the Schaub and Kennedy families or to the families in general (including one narrative genealogy on the Schaub family). Many of these documents relate to Ira Schaub's brother Sidney.

Brown is home to 11 active, nationally renowned public health research
centers, including the newly established Center for Evidence-Based Medicine. Collaboration with these centers provides students the opportunity to learn how to conduct quality health research and to participate in effective community service initiatives. Each center is home to a robust research program; in all, Brown centers have together attracted total funding (for all years) in excess of $250 million. These centers are:
Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies
The Center promotes the identification, prevention, and effective treatment of alcohol and other drug use problems in our society through research, education, training, and policy advocacy. More than 90 faculty and professional staff members from 11 University departments and the affiliated hospitals pursue research and education activities of the Center.
Centers for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine
Under the behavioral health umbrella, three major research centers address the leading lifestyle causes of disease burden and death. The centers are a collaboration between The Miriam Hospital and Brown University. The Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center is home to the national Weight Control Registry, a major undertaking that tracks how people lose weight and keep it off. Taking a collaborative and transdisciplinary approach, all of the centers, including the Physical Activity Research Center and Nicotine and Tobacco Research Center, are working to advance scientific knowledge on diverse behaviors by understanding the role of behavior in the promotion of health and in the prevention and the management of illness.
Brown University AIDS Program
From the very beginnings of the AIDS pandemic, Brown has been at the forefront of HIV/AIDS research and treatment. BRUNAP'S central mission is to coordinate the educational activities of the more than 100 affiliated faculty, students, fellows, and medical trainees, as well as community-based health care providers involved in HIV/AIDS research, training, and clinical care.
Institute for Community Health Promotion
The Institute strives to improve health, especially in undeserved populations, by conducting interdisciplinary research and education to empower individuals, providers, organizations, and communities to practice and promote healthier behaviors and environments. Current projects focus on improving dietary habits, encouraging male cancer screening, and using culturally sensitive materials to promote control of hypertension. Center faculty maintain strong collaborative relationships with a wide array of medical schools, community service organizations, and worksites, as well as with major funding institutions.
Center for Environmental Health and Technology
The newly established Center for Environmental Health and Technology (CEHT) at Brown was created as an interdisciplinary science-based and community-active Center that is home to the NIEHS-funded Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP). The CEHT is intended to build upon this base by catalyzing research that addresses environmental problems across the entire University, facilitating the translation of this research into practical, measurable improvements in environmental health and in the identification and remediation of hazardous contamination in Rhode Island.
Center for Evidence-Based Medicine
The primary mission of the Center for Evidence-based Medicine (CEBM) is to conduct multidisciplinary research in, and teach the principles of, research synthesis (by means of systematic review, meta-analysis) and evidence contextualization (by means of decision or economic modeling) with a focus on comparing the effectiveness of interventions, tests and processes in clinical medicine.
Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research
The Center conducts multidisciplinary research and educational efforts to improve health and health care of older persons and others with chronic conditions. Research on aging and long-term care has established the Center as a major contributor to national policy on nursing home care and end-of-life issues. The Center also trains postdoctoral clinicians and PhD scientists for health services research in areas such as cancer treatment and prevention, health promotion, long-term care quality, community-based systems of care, health care organizations, and methodological approaches to health services research.
International Health Institute
The International Health Institute (IHI) develops, promotes, and coordinates the international health activities of Brown faculty and students. Its mission is to apply interdisciplinary perspectives in research and training to improve the health of populations in developing countries. IHI faculty have established research collaborations with institutions in many countries, and each year undergraduate, medical, and graduate students complete research projects and academic work under the close mentorship of their faculty sponsors. Topics have included malaria vaccine candidate identification; the effects of migration on HIV/AIDS in Vietnam; and the effect of modernization in Samoa
Center for Population Health and Clinical Epidemiology
The goal of the Center for Population Health and Clinical Epidemiology is to conduct epidemiological studies of the causes, treatment and prevention of major health concerns at the population level. Members of the Center are epidemiologists, physicians and social scientists who combine state-of-the-art research methods with expertise in specific diseases, including cardiovascular, cancer, reproductive, nutritional, psychiatric and behavioral disorders. Research on etiology involves several large-scale longitudinal projects of representative community-based samples, in some cases followed over decades, to investigate the emergence of disease and disorder as well as the combined influences of environmental, nutritional, social & genetic factors on the incidence and course of these conditions. Randomized clinical trials and other clinical investigations are conducted in collaboration with leading hospitals and other treatment facilities in Rhode Island and throughout the U.S. to investigate the impact of new therapeutic technologies and to add to evidence-based treatment decisions in medicine and public health. Center faculty also collaborate regularly with Rhode Island agencies including the Departments of Health, Human Services, Education and others to assist with statewide analyses of population health and the implementation of population-based prevention efforts. Stephen Buka, Sc.D., serves as Center Director.
Center for Primary Care and Prevention
Home to more than 40 scientists, physicians, and educators, the Center promotes research, enriches knowledge, and improves practice in primary care and prevention. The Center is a collaborative effort between Brown University and Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island, where the Primary Care Center serves as a base of operation for faculty and staff. Center faculty are recognized internationally for their pioneering work in community health promotion, disease prevention, women's health, health access for underserved populations, as well as primary care and family medicine medical education. Faculty research builds on landmark studies, such as the Pawtucket Heart Study and the NIH Women's Health Initiative, for which the Center was the largest recruitment site.
Center for Statistical Sciences
The primary mission of the Center for Statistical Sciences (CSS) is to provide a focus of statistical expertise for the Brown research community at large and to foster research and statistical education in the Medical School and the University. Recognized experts in biostatistics, epidemiology, and health services research, the faculty are active researchers widely published in their respective fields; collectively they attract more than $10 million in external research funding annually. Areas of expertise in biostatistics include Bayesian inference, statistical genetics, and longitudinal data. The CSS also serves as the biostatistics core for local and national biomedical research projects, including the Biostatistics Center of the American College of Radiology Imaging Network, and was part of a landmark study that established the superior diagnostic abilities of digital mammograms, particularly in younger women.

Brendan Witt: A Life of Old-Time Hockey, New Beginnings
Brian D'Ambrosio | Mar 08, 2013 | Comments 3
By Brian D'Ambrosio
Brendan Witt knew one of the Philadelphia Flyers would approach.
After all, the bruising fourth line tended to drop the gloves. Slightly after the six-minute mark of the first period, the "Dan Line" -consisting of Dan Kordic, Daniel Lacroix and Scott Daniels - hoped to send a message.
"Philly put these guys out," says Witt. "So you knew something was about to happen. The puck dropped and all three of those guys were coming at me. Lacroix didn't get to me quicker than Kordic. Kordic beat Daniels by a hair. That's how that happened. A lot of people forget that."
Witt, an adherent to old-school hockey's philosophy of shedding the mitts and playing to the final buzzer each night, piled up 1,424 penalty minutes in 890 career regular season games. In his 17 years, his exceptionally spirited bout with Dan Kordic on March 9, 1997, stands out in the annals of hockey tussles.
Younger brother of legendary enforcer John Kordic, Dan spent the full 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons with the Flyers, recording a career high in games (75 in 1996–97) and penalty minutes (210, two years in a row to lead the team in 1997–98). His NHL career was over come 1999.
Noted primarily for his unrestrained abandoned, dishing out of body checks, and general stinginess in front of his own net, Witt chucked the knuckles, too, when needed. A vanishing fusion in today's game, he could fight, play, and turn the goal crease into his personal battlefield. The Witt-Kordic fight was, in the words of Washington Capitals announcers, "a beauty" and "a great battle." As far as who won the decision: Kordic ended up with a cut nose – and an extra 12 minutes in penalties.
"You know you've had a good fight when you receive a standing ovation from the Philly crowd," says Witt, who lives on a one-hundred acre ranch south of Missoula, Montana. "I love Philly fans. They are very passionate. To get that applause, I loved it."
Witt says that in addition to the Kordic altercation, his most memorable scraps came against Chicago Blackhawk Ryan VandenBussche (March 12, 1997) and twice in the same contest verse New Jersey Devil Randy McKay (December 1, 1998).
"You know who gave me the most trouble was Scott Daniels, who played for Hartford, New Jersey and then Philly. I had also had a helluva fight with Jason Wiemer in juniors, too. It's on You Tube."
Witt's long, stretched hair, hippyish winter knit, and multihued tattoos give him the appearance of a rock star-hipster hybrid, but the facial scars and blemished knuckles reveal the hazards of his profession.
"Playing with the Capitals, it was great to have guys like Dale Hunter and Craig Berube around," says Witt. "They taught me to play hard, check hard, and sweat it out. They were guys from a different era."
Witt, 38, says he is still good friends with Chris Simon and Craig Berube – a veteran enforcer who served first as an opponent, then mentor and buddy, and once even an accidental casualty.
"In training camp, I broke Berube's jaw when I hit him along the boards. I was so scared because his wife was very upset. She gave it to me when I came over to their house. He had to take out his teeth and drink protein shakes for three weeks."
One of Witt's most unforgettable moments came in 1995, when he had the opportunity to pin Cam Neely against the boards in Washington. He showed no pity for even his childhood hero when the Bruin's power forward dared enter his territory.
"Since I was 13," says Witt, "a lot of my friends were Oilers fans, but I loved Boston. I always carried a Cam Neely card in my wallet. He was tough. He didn't take any crap. He was in your face. I loved that style of hockey.
"So, I'm cross-checking him and challenging him. Well, Ray Scampinella, the longtime linesman, says 'hey, kid, what are you doing?'. I said, 'I'm trying to fight my idol.' I thought that was pretty cool. Playing against great players like Mark Messier was pretty awesome, too."
Beneath Witt's 6-foot-2, 223-pound exterior is a garden of compassionate and grateful seeds. In 2002, his wife, Salima, experienced severe hemorrhaging and mysterious complications eight days after giving birth to their second child. Salima developed a life-threatening blood infection that left her suffering in intensive care for months. Even though she made a full recovery, it shook Witt deeply and instilled in him a greater appreciation of the fragility of life.
"We travel and spend as much time together as we can," says Witt. "We were in Morocco and Ethiopia recently."
In October 2005, Hurricane Wilma swirled around the Witts' Jupiter, Fla., home as the family of four huddled inside. While the structure endured without major damage, the fear and worry were suitably distressing.
"That was another scary thing," says Witt, a native of Saskatchewan, Canada. "You know, one of the benefits of retirement is that I get the chance to spend time with my daughters. When I was playing, I was an enigma to them."
Witt played A-League junior hockey in Seattle and he would often drive to Montana to hike in Glacier National Park and scope out communities.
"I thought about buying property in Missoula in 1998," says Witt. "There wasn't much there, a Red Lion Inn and a grocery store."
Three years ago, Witt, who says "he didn't like the behaviors he saw in his childrens' middle schools in Florida," looked south of Missoula and "found a real nice place."
"I love to hunt," says Witt. "I love it."
On this Saturday morning, Witt is at Glacier Ice Rink chumming around with Missoula Youth Area Hockey Association beginners. Witt and the National Hockey League Players Association gifted 25 sets of new hockey equipment to the "Learn to Play Hockey" program. It's his first organized contact with the sport since retirement. "Honestly, I've been playing hockey since I was a kid, so I've been taking a break. I don't miss the travel. I never had a lot of time to heal my body when I was playing and there were not many days off."
That's not to suggest Witt doesn't cherish the opportunities he has had – only that he's not the kind of guy who will wax on nostalgically or sink too deeply into the past. He sums up his playing style in one word: proud.
"At the end of the day, you're playing a kid's game," says Witt. "You're living the dream. You're getting paid well. It's like my dad always said, 'take pride in your work'."
Witt says that the powering passion for which he is reputed – a mixture of hard skating, snarl, and physicality – is absent on the ice and in the lineups these days.
"You can't finish a guy at the blueline like you use to because of concussions," says Witt. "A guy like Bob Probert was honest. You could run him, but if it was legal, he was cool with that. Dave Brown was like that. Joel Otto was like that. I love that. There was a respect there. The game has changed that way. Today, you've got a bunch of wimps."

Nice column. It's good to see some of these great hockey names and faces and stories again.
Caps could use Witt. Erskine gets involved now and again. But not as much as Berube, Simon, and Witt did. Too bad DJ. King vanished or it seems he did
Great quote at the end. Witt took on The Chief in that same Kordic game I believe
