The Psychiatry and Behavioral Health team provides a full range of behavioral and mental health services, from creative arts therapy to intensive care programs. In each of our specialty programs we offer the following services:
The Eating Disorder Program provides a continuum of services, ranging from outpatient evaluations and day treatment services to inpatient hospitalization. Services are provided jointly by the Children's Colorado Department of Adolescent Medicine.
Learn more about the Eating Disorder Program at Children's Colorado.
This is a day treatment program for medically compromised children ages 7 to 21, whose medical needs cannot be met in a regular school setting. Participants receive medical, nursing, academic and psychosocial support daily, in an outpatient setting. The conditions treated vary from chronic to acute and the length of stay is tailored to the needs of the child.
Learn more about the Medical Day Treatment Program at Children's Colorado.
This is an inpatient and day treatment program that serves children ages 3 to 17 with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and/or neurodevelopmental disabilities, who have co-morbid medical and/or psychiatric conditions.
The NSC Program is one of the few programs in the western region of the United States that treats children and adolescents with autism and/or developmental delays. The NSC was developed to accurately and comprehensively assess the complex psychiatric and/or medical needs of children with developmental disabilities in order to effectively address the chronic or escalating symptoms of behavioral acting-out that can lead to repeat emergency room visits, inpatient hospitalizations or out-of-home placement.
Learn more about the Neuropsychiatric Special Care (NSC) Program at Children's Colorado.
The Ponzio Creative Arts Therapy Program provides individual, group and family services throughout Children's Colorado. As part of the program, creative arts therapists use the arts to help children work through their problems, deal with pain and express themselves.
Therapists collaborate with clinical teams to work toward psychiatric or medical treatment goals using the creative arts as a medium. Art, music, dance, movement and yoga become tools for communication, emotional release and ultimately, healing.
Learn more about the Ponzio Creative Arts Program at Children's Colorado.
PSYCLES is a multidisciplinary team consisting of child psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers and creative arts therapists. This team provides evaluation for all patients at Children's Colorado who present with psychiatric needs. Urgent evaluations are completed during regularly working hours. PSYCLES staff members consult with all medical services at Children's Colorado at the request of the child's physician.
Project CLIMB, a mental health program in the Child Health Clinic, provides teaching, consultation and interventions in the Child Health Clinic. Clinicians can coordinate admissions to the Outpatient Specialty Clinics, Intensive Outpatient Program, Day Treatment Programs, and Intensive Services Program.
Learn more about psychiatric consultations at Children's Colorado.
Emergency psychiatric consultations
Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) provides consultation and assessment of psychiatric patients presenting to the emergency room at Children's Colorado. PES clinicians additionally consult urgent callers from the community, such as parents and healthcare providers, to determine appropriate mental health interventions and help link families and patients to the recommended level of care.
Learn more about emergency psychiatric consultations.
We offer a series of outpatient specialty clinics for children and teens aged 5 to 17, and their families, focusing on children and teens with emotional and behavioral problems, as well as patients with any psychiatric diagnosis or a combination of illnesses.

Learn more about the Intensive Services Program at Children's Colorado.
The Psychosocial Research Center at Children's Colorado is currently recruiting children to participate in various clinical trials and research studies. Participants in clinical trials gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available. Often, the process of collecting information in the study will allow the doctor to find out more about your child's condition and the effects it has on your child. This may allow your child to benefit from better treatment after completing the trial. Many patients also derive satisfaction from knowing they are aiding in an effort to help reduce the suffering of other people suffering from the same ailment.
Carefully conducted clinical trials are the safest way to find new treatments that will improve health problems. Our clinical trial team includes doctors, psychologists, nurses, and study coordinators. Before joining a clinical trial, a participant must qualify for the study. Eligible participants are seen by specialized physicians who will aid in the evaluation of their condition.
Psychotherapy is not provided as part of these research studies; these are only medication clinical trials. Depending on the study, participation in psychotherapy while your child is involved in the study may not be allowed, or could be allowed under the conditions outlined in the protocol. All study-related assessments and medication are provided at no cost; the study medications are investigational.
Learn more about the Psychosocial Research Center at Children's Colorado.
The Healthy Expectations perinatal mental health program supports pregnant and postpartum women and their families who are struggling with mood and anxiety issues. The program offers free support groups for mothers during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well as individual counseling, couples counseling and mother-infant support. Healthy Expectations also provides evaluations for medical, psychological, social and/or alternative approaches.

Hurricanes Weather Lady Saints, End Playoff Hopes
– Georgia Southwestern stayed on pace for the final playoff
spot in the Peach Belt Conference West Division on Saturday
afternoon, taking down North Georgia 74-63 at the Storm Dome in
league action.
The loss for the Lady Saints is their third straight as they fall to 9-14 overall on the season and 4-10 in the Peach Belt Conference. North Georgia has also been eliminated from the playoff race, falling three games back in the win column of the final postseason spot with just three games to play, while not holding a tiebreaker against Georgia Southwestern or Montevallo. The Hurricanes improve to 12-13 on the year with the victory and 7-8 in league action.
North Georgia led much of the first half, holding a five-point lead with 5:39 remaining in the period as Whitney Randolph sank four straight free throws to give the Lady Saints a 26-21 lead, their largest advantage of the game.
The Lady Saints held the Hurricanes scoreless the final two minute of the first half and used a three-pointer from Meredith Montgomery to hold a three-point halftime lead at 33-30.
In the second half, North Georgia held on to a lead until the 14:28 mark when Kanita Holloway hit a layup to give GSW the lead for good. The Hurricanes led by as many as 13 with 1:53 remaining before holding on for the 11-point victory.
Whitney Randolph tallied another double-double for the Lady Saints, scoring 12 points and pulling down 10 rebounds, while Janyce Ealey added a team-high 13 points, and Kari McCann scored 12 points, including a perfect 7-7 stint from the charity stripe.
Four Hurricanes finished in double figures, led by Whitley Wiltz who scored a game-high 19 points on 11-15 shooting from the free throw line, while also recording a double-double with 20 rebounds.
North Georgia returns to action on Monday afternoon, traveling to UNC Pembroke to take on the Braves. Tip-off is set for 5:00 p.m. in the English E. Jones Health and Physical Education Center.

Talley, a rising sophomore from Princeton, Ky., closed out Yueer Cindy Feng on the 35th hole of the final match with a par on the 154-yard par-3 17th hole.
Talley, 19, went back and forth with Feng on the first 18 holes of the final. She won the 18th hole with a birdie on the par-4, 438-yard 18th to enter the second half of the final with a 1-up lead.
Talley, who begins her sophomore year later this month, won the 20th and 22nd hole to extend her lead to 3 up before Feng rallied to win three straight holes to square the match.
Talley birdied the match's 28th hole to take a 1-up lead, and never let up.
She extended the lead to 2 up at the 30th hole only to see Feng strike back with a win on the 31st hole. The next three holes were halved before Talley claimed victory on the 35th (17th hole) of the match.
She finished her freshman year at Alabama with a 73.00 scoring average that ranked second on the team while earning second-team All-America honors.
Talley will rejoin her Crimson Tide teammates when school starts at Alabama on Aug. 21.

Études de cas
iBuildings.nl depends exclusively on Zend Certified Engineers
PHP celebrated its tenth anniversary this year and looks back, not only on a successful rise to being the most frequently used scripting language on the Internet, but also looks ahead to a very bright future. Over 22 million domains worldwide currently run PHP, emphasizes its ever increasing role in business-critical Web applications. Now recognized as a powerful and popular development language, a growing number of companies and software providers seek teams of highly qualified and experienced PHP developers. Zend PHP Certification greatly cuts down the recruitment process.
To make it easier for these companies to find and select PHP professionals, Zend Technologies launched a PHP Certification Program in Fall 2004. Since then, more than 2500 developers have obtained the title "Zend Certified Engineer" (ZCE), including 12 of the 14 PHP developers working for Ibuildings, a Dutch provider of content management systems, that depends exclusively on certified PHP developers to set itself apart from the competition.
PHP Certification as a Strategic Competitive Advantage
Ibuildings is a provider of content management systems (CMS), back-office integration, and Web applications and is based in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. Ibuilding's customers are primarily in the tourism, healthcare, IT and telecommunications industries and in public administration. Software development in PHP is one of Ibuilding's key areas of expertise. Qualified employees with PHP expertise are extremely important. They are the company's greatest asset. That is why Ibuilding's insists on Zend PHP Certification for all its PHP developers.
Developers at Ibuildings have to meet very strict standards. As the company's preferred development platform, PHP is used to create complex products and application frameworks. For this purpose, Ibuildings has created a series of tools and libraries based on PHP. The ATK application framework was even released as open source software (http://www.achievo.org/atk).
When hiring new employees Ibuildings management does not just examine PHP knowledge, but also expects from its developers, a solid understanding of abstract concepts like object orientation and design patterns.
During the recruiting process, Zend PHP Certification is the best tool for identifying PHP experts.
Ibuilding's views Zend PHP Certification as an important step toward positioning PHP as a serious development platform. "Since PHP is also gaining a growing foothold in companies, it's becoming increasingly important to measure the quality of PHP developers," says Ivo Jansch. "Because there aren't a whole lot of Certified Engineers out there yet, it isn't a KO criterion for us. But we would definitely give preference to a certified developer."
"We see a strategic advantage for our company in having all of our developers PHP certified. It helps set us apart from the competition and serves as proof of our commitment to high quality development."
Ivo Jansch Software Architect at iBuildings.nl
More than 2500 Zend Certified Engineers to Date
In order to meet the strong demand for qualified PHP developers, Zend brought together a group of recognized PHP experts in collaboration with the PHP Education Advisory Board in Fall 2004 to establish the Certification Program. The PHP Education Advisory Board includes distinguished PHP experts like Marcus Boeger, John Coggeshall, Andi Gutmans, and Zeev Suraski. Zend conducts the Certification Program in collaboration with the publisher Pearson VUE. Several training partners help candidates prepare for the exam. PHP Certification exams can be taken at more than 3,500 testing centers within the Pearson network. Once they have passed the exams, Zend certified PHP developers are listed in the Zend Yellow Pages for Zend Certified Engineers and receive discounts on Zend products and PHP conferences. In addition, they receive previews of new Zend products before release. More than 2500 programmers have successfully completed the exam since the start of the program at the end of 2004.

デュシタニ パタヤ
Dusit Thani Pattaya congratulates Yani Tseng for winning the Honda LPGA Thailand 2011
For three consecutive years now, Dusit Thani Pattaya has been the official host hotel to the Honda LPGA Thailand and has had the honour and pleasure of extending its warm service and hospitality to the international lady golfers taking part in the world-class event. In 2009, the five-star resort shared the joy that Mexican Lorena Ochoa felt when she won the title. Last year, Japan's Ai Miyazato was overwhelmed by the jubilant cheer of her fans waiting at the hotel lobby after she took home the crown. On Sunday, 20 February, 22-year old Yani Tseng from Taiwan beamed with pride while posing with her fans as soon as she returned straight from her victory at the Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course.
This year's line up of lady golfers consisted of the world's top 50 professional golfers from the LPGA list including Paula Creamer, Michelle Wie, Shin Yijai, Choie Na Yeon, Ai Miyazato and Yani Tseng. The tournament was the first stop on the 2011 LPGA Tour. The pre-tournament schedule included a casual cocktail reception held at the hotel's extended terrace, The Point that provided the perfect night backdrop of Pattaya Bay. This was followed by the Charity Auction Night on 16 February at the Napalai Convention of Dusit Thani Pattaya. During the event, top players auctioned off their personal items for charity and enjoyed a night of music and fantastic food. The gala was attended by all the event sponsors and LPGA golfers who graciously signed autographs and posed for pictures throughout the night.
In his comments after the successful tournament, the resort's General Manager, Mr Chatchawal Supachayanont thanked all the sponsors and organisers for having chosen Dusit Thani Pattaya as its host hotel. He stressed that the LPGA Tour had helped in putting the resort city on the list of great destinations as far as golf competitions are concerned. He also added that it had been another great honour for Dusit Thani Pattaya to be part of the event.
Before the LPGA tournament, the resort also hosted the PTT Pattaya Open 2011, part of the World Tennis Association international events in which Daniela Hantuchova emerged as the winner after defeating two-time defending champion Vera Zvonareva.
Straight from her success at the Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course where she took the crown of this year's Honda LPGA Thailand, Yani Tseng came home to the cheer and congratulatory greetings from the staff and management of Dusit Thani Pattaya, the official host hotel of the world- class golf tournament. The golf star from Taiwan is seen in this photo as she was presented a bouquet by the resort management led by the Resident Manager, Mr Aloysius Michael (left).
American golfer Ms Paula Creamer is warmly welcomed by Ms Surang Prempree (middle), Managing Director of BBTV Channel 7 Thailand and Mr Chatchawal Supachayanont, the resort's General Manager.
World No. 2 Jiyai Shin (left) is seen with Ms Prempree, the Managing Director of BBTV Channel 7 Thailand, the organiser of the Honda LPGA Thailand.
Mr Supachayanont greets Ms Yani Tseng as she arrives at the Napalai Convention Hall for the Charity Auction Night.
Ms Michelle Wie signs her autograph on the golf bag that was later auctioned off at the charity event.
Ms Paula Creamer congratulates the highest bidder for the pink panther stuffed animal with her autograph that fetched THB 95,000 (over $3,000) at the charity night.

So spring is around the corner, and the little bit of snow we got is gone. Time for yard clean up. Many towns in and around Attleboro have burning permits and the smell of spring clean up is in the air on weekends.
This means leaf blowers and often it means chain saws. Whether you're using a back-pack, engine- driven model, or a motor-driven hand-held unit, leaf blowers make life in Massachusetts much easier in the spring by blowing leaves and other lawn debris off of your lawn.
Often times our power tools and yard equipment won't start after seasonal storage. Often this is just an air filter issue, carburetor, or spark plug. But sometimes you have more serious problems caused by the fuel that sat in the engine over the winter.
For the service of your small engines, yard equipment and power tools, or if you just want to buy new equipment, contact J&J Small Engine Clinic, Inc., we specialize in Service and Repair of small engines.

Tomic, Federer exchange words of caution before Australian Open
Roger Federer was asked about a potential third round match against the streaking Bernard Tomic. Federer's message was clear: hold your horses. Tomic is no guarantee to make the third round.
"He's also got his work cut out, you know, in the first few rounds," Federer said. "He will be making a mistake about thinking about me in the third round because he also has to get there."
Report Card: Tomic breaks through in Sydney
Federer went on to caution the extended hype that is currently buzzing around Tomic, who goes into the Australian Open undefeated after wins over Novak Djokovic at the Hopman Cup and capturing his first ATP title in Sydney last week. The 20-year-old seems to have turned himself around after a disastrous 2012.
But Federer isn't quite buying the young Aussie's stock quite yet.
"I think we should go step by step, see how it goes," he said. "Let's speak in a year's time. Everybody wants to jump from what's his ranking 60 to 10 in a year. It's hard to do. Ten is a big ask. Don't forget how tough the top 10 players are right now."
Later that day Tomic came in for his pre-tournament presser. I don't know if he caught wind of Federer's comments or not, but the confident (understatement?) Aussie seemed to take a swipe of his own. Asked whether he thinks he can beat Federer in the third round, Tomic quipped "Well, if he gets that far."
"I mean, like I said, the first round is my goal, to beat this guy. I do struggle against some guys out there. I don't know how this guy can play. If the possibility comes for me to win that first match, I'll look for my next round, which is also tough."
"I would love to get in that position to play Roger in the third round. He has to get there as well. You don't know what can happen. Tennis is a funny sport. So we'll see."
Federer opens his tournament on Tuesday against Benoit Paire, while Tomic will take on Leonardo Mayer.

About This Reel
Constructed with Shimano's new CI4+ material, the Shimano Stradic CI4+ Spinning Reel delivers the ultimate in lightweight spinning reel performance. Designed for fishing lightweight fluorocarbon, braided and monofilament lines, it is perfect for a wide range of finesse applications.
The reel's new CI4+ construction is the next generation of Shimano's CI4 material - and 250% stronger. It is also over one-and-a-half times stronger than Shimano's normal XT-7 graphite, and more than 20% lighter as well. And because CI4+ does not contain metal, it is impervious to rust, making the Stradic CI4+ a great choice for fishing in brackish and saltwater environments.
Its X-Ship Gearing increases cranking power by more than 20% as well, and also greatly extends gear life, while its new Magnumlite Rotor lightens up handle rotation for more precise handle control and optimum balance on retrieves. Whether you are drop shotting, fishing a shakey head or small Texas-rig, the Shimano Stadic CI4+ Spinning Reel has you covered.

Customer Feedback
Comments: My dad just won one of these reels in a raffle, needless to say im quite tempted to steal it and add it to my own arsenal after trying it out. Another flawless design by Shimano.
From: Unknown: USA 3/6/14
Comments: I have owned many Shimano reels and reels from many other brands. What I can say is Shimano makes superb products. Especially the stradic ci4+. It is extremely light and can tell a difference. Once you take it out for an outting, all the other reels just feel a whole lot heavier. The reel is extra smooth, has a nice drag, and looks really cool. If you're looking for a really lightweight and great spinning reel don't hesitate to buy it. The weight loss is worth the money you pay for it.
From: Unknown: USA 3/4/14
From: Tony: Fenton, MI
Comments: Love the new stradic, it definitely feels more solid and you can feel that it has more power just by turning the handle. Looks cool too; revamped color, more of a black shine-color then the grey sparkle from previous. Handle is different too, spool, here and there. Can't wait to try it out.
From: Dre: San Diego, CA
Comments: I bought the CI4 when they first came out 3 or 4 years ago . It is by far my favorite Reel, I've caught a lot of LM Bass mostly in the 2 to 5 lb.range it has performed flawlessly . The wife is telling me she is going to buy the CI4+ for Christmas for me , if she has it attached to a G Loomis rod I'll probably stay with her another 35 years. LOL
From: Jeff: Cincinnati
Comments: I have both the Stradic FJ and CI4 sizes 3000 for the fj and 2500 for the CI4. Just bought a 1000 CI4+ and it feels more capable then the 2500CI4 and just the same as the 3000fj. It handled a 10lb silver on a trip up in WA with ease and without flex during multiple long runs on a locked down drag yet so very light!! hopefully itll be as legendary as my FJ which is 3 years old and sill very close to brand new performance even in the salt. So far great reel buying a 3000 for the bigger stuff and leaving that 1000 just for them small trouts;)
From: Luke: San Diego,CA,USA
Comments: I have had a Stradic FJ reel for months and just got a C14. For the money difference, I'd say its worth just going ahead and getting the FJ. Not a whole lot different. Plus, they put a bell-shaped FOAM handle on the C14. The more I use it, the less I like it. That's the connection between you and the line guys. FOAM?
From: Brian: Bismarck, AR, USA
Comments: I will start off by saying that I am absolutely hooked on the Stradics! I purchased the C14 2500 last year and have it spooled with 5lb Sunline FC Sniper and it is just as strong as my Chronarchs. I just received the C14+ in the 1000FA size, and am stoked on it. It has new technology, however looks virtually they same as the regular C14. I bought this reel for light trout fishing as well as thin senkos and drop shots for bass. Also being a resident of California, I ordered the reel yesterday around noon and received it the next day before noon.....for no extra cost. Beyond stoked on tacklewarehouses customer service and products, I will never order anywhere else.
From: Zack: San Diego
Comments: I have the old version and still don't understand why they changed it. The old saying goes " if it's not broken don't try to fix it." Still a Shimano spinning reel fan.
From: Mike: NormanPark,Ga
Comments: Fisrt impressions... Hype, I have the CI4 and its the same reel... This thing has sooo much rotor noise and is NOT smooth at all... I will be out fishing with it today and post how my day went when i get back
From: Dan: SWFL
Comments: I have the CI4 3000 . LOVE IT ! LOVE IT! i dont have a bad word to say about it. It works so well im thinking about getting the sustain . Im a big bait caster fan , but i love this reel. Im a big fan of the handle.

Harper ® Replacement Heads for #23 Supersweep Brooms
Synthetic bristle ends are split into several thinner bristles by a process known as "feathering". Feathered bristles trap and pick up more dirt and dust (just like a dust mop) than standard bristles, which saves time by only sweeping once! Bristles are trimmed to 3-1/8". For indoor use only on dry surfaces. USA made by Harper. Choose replacement head width from selection box above.

I have been working at Disney full-time for less than a year
Pros – Lots of movement with 1-2 years in a given role being typical before a move is made. Friendly atmosphere, matrix structure. Promotions usually occur from within making it easier to rise up in rank. Finance is home to many younger analysts both male and female. Coworkers provide an intellectual and driven environment to work in.
Cons – Compensation packages may be slightly below industry average but demand for jobs is high.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Near Term Trend: Neutral to PositiveFriday's Close: 1864.85 (+ 2.34)UPDATE: The trading day prior to our last report, the SPX posted a low of 1814.00. We concluded our commentary with, "At this juncture, the up- trend (red) line currently at 1796.00 could play a factor in slowing or holding the downside momentum". As can be viewed from the chart, the price action never advanced any lower, and the integrity of the trend line remains in intact. The bounce this past week was impressive, and depicted confidence from traders / investors that a run for the historical price highs may still be in play. Keep in mind, the Key downside Reversal which was posted at the historical highs remains in play, and may still prove to be a long term top.

Every city has two faces. Prague is no exception. The first face it shows you is as a perfect example of a wonderful historical city that is proud of its past. The second is modern and pulsating, and resembles the real life of the city as experienced by its residents every day. So put away that starchy guidebook and enjoy two days in the heart of the magical metropolis like a genuine Praguer!
Good morning! You've just woken up in one of the world's most beautiful cities and you've got the whole day ahead of you in the middle of a pulsating metropolis! Where to head for? Every successful day starts with a hearty breakfast. Visit, for example, the original Café B Braun on Sokolovská Street, where alongside a scrumptious quiche or crispy croissant you can enjoy the world-class design by renowned Czech architect Eva Jiřičná. The logical choice after breakfast would be a tour of some of Prague's world famous attractions. But why not try something different, such as a visit to Vítkov Hill, which is adjacent to the distinctive Žižkov district? Here you will find a statue of the Czech commander Jan Žižka that is actually the world's largest equestrian statue. Inside the gigantic Functionalist landmark you can explore an exhibition on some of the key events of modern Czech history.
It's already time for lunch. How about trying one of a number of top Prague restaurants that have won Michelin stars? The first of those is the restaurant at Alcron Hotel Radisson. Their baked St. Jacob's mussels and chocolate fondant will have your taste buds in seventh heaven. The second Prague restaurant with a Michelin star is La Degustation Bohême, where you can try Czech delicacies such as straw soup with pheasant or Třeboň carp.
After a pleasant lunch there's nothing nicer than a walk in the park. Avoid the crowds at Prague Castle and Old Town Square and head for one of the most picturesque corners of Prague. On Kampa Island, which is right on the Lesser Quarter side of Charles Bridge, you will find a world of painted buildings, gorgeous squares and a park that is just perfect for lounging. If you're surprised by bad weather, why not visit one of the city's museums and galleries? One great choice is Museum Kampa, which – along with its modern art collection at the stylishly renovated Sovovy Mlýny building – will win you over thanks to the original design of its surroundings.
Darkness is falling in Prague and you're thinking about a fun place to spend the evening? You should check out one of the city's many famous clubs, such as the popular SaSaZu, where a good time is guaranteed, the exclusive Duplex, or Karlovy lázně, Central Europe's biggest nightclub.


text: I saw this come across my twitter feed and figured I'd give it a read. By the end of it, I had goosebumps all over. Even though the story is from a UW fan, it's nice to view the importance of sports, particularly college basketball, from the perspective of another fan base. I know I've felt like this guy did (although I've fortunately never torn an ACL) and I imagine many of you have too.

Spending the past five seasons in Sprint Cup, Smith returned to Nationwide full-time this year, driving the No. 7 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, which is co-owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Smith won the 2012 Nationwide season-finale at Homestead, Fla. in his stellar debut with JRM. It was also his first win in the series.
Smith came to Talladega only one point behind Sam Hornish Jr., but Hornish finished 25th after being caught up in a big wreck on the backstretch during the closing laps and fell 27 points out of the lead. Smith has scored six top-10 finishes in the first eight Nationwide races this season.
"We've had a lot of work that's gone on during the offseason and during the season, and these guys (No. 7 team) have been working hard week in and week out," Smith said. "As a team, it's just been a steady progression. We feel like we're getting better and better."
This is also the first time a driver from JRM has been atop the point rankings. The team began competing in NASCAR's second-tier series in 2005. Brad Keselowski, who drove for JRM during part of the 2007 season and all of '08 and '09, went as high as second in the standings during the '08 season.
"I'm really happy for Regan and the whole group," Earnhardt Jr. said. "They've been working so hard and so many late nights trying to get faster and trying to find that extra bit of speed that they need. They're trying to be as good as they can be. You can really see the effort between (crew chief) Greg (Ives) and the whole group in the shop during the week. There is so much work they're doing, trying to learn and trying to gel as fast as they can, because they know that they have a great opportunity this year."
Darlington has become a very special place for Smith. The Cato, N.Y. native scored his first career Sprint Cup victory at this racetrack in May 2011.
"There is just something about Darlington," he said. "Every time I pull in there, I feel good and I enjoy it. The best way I can describe Darlington is it's the racing equivalent to Fenway Park or Wrigley Field. It's so legendary with the history and tradition there. It's almost like you can see that all the time, the history, and the age that is in that place. I got a really cool parking spot in 'Champion's Alley' after my Cup win there too. I always make sure to take a picture of it when I'm there."
Smith has not competed in a Nationwide race at Darlington since 2007. His best finish in four previous starts here is 12th, which came in '07.
Forty-three teams are on the preliminary entry list for the VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200. Kyle Busch, Kasey Kahne and Joey Logano are those drivers scheduled to compete in this event. Logano is the defending race winner.
Series: NASCAR Nationwide. Date: Friday, May 10. Race: VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200. Site: Darlington Raceway. Track: 1.366-mile oval. Start time: 7:30 p.m. ET. Laps: 147. Miles: 200.8. 2012 Winner: Joey Logano. Television: ESPN 2. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN)/SIRIUS NASCAR Radio.

925 N State St Ste L, Westerville, OH | Directions 4308240.150605 -82.922156
Wendell's is wonderful! – Wendell's has become one of our favorite places to dine! Their prime rib special on Saturday & Tuesdays are great, and the steaks are delicious! And be sure to try their fish & chips (especially the all you can eat specials)...fanastic!
We feel that the new owners (the previous managers) are doing a fantastic job & we've never seen the place busier! There is happy hour with special appetiser specials, too.
Just an all-around great place to go, eat & enjoy!
Worst Experience with new ownere – Wendells used to be a favorite lunch spot for my coworkers and I. We had noticed drop in food quality and service over our last several visits, and had also had a very bad experience with one of the lunch waitresses, LORI. On my most recent visit, I had ordered a sandwich that used to be on the menu ( a hot turkey with provolone) and asked specifically that it be hot because I am pregnant and can't eat cold lunch meat. I picked up from LORI and took it back to my office to eat. SURPRISE---NOT HOT, NO CHEESE, AND IT HAD HAM! I called back to ask and LORI told me she checked my sandwich personally and that it was a special order, but she said they would make it again. I told her I ate the chips (again, I am pregnant) and she said they would give me more chips. So I went back again (had to leave work, again) to get my food. She said she checked it and was offended when I checked. NO CHIPS, so LORI stomped back to the kitchen to get me chips. I got back to the office and she gave my fries instead. I called back to talk to management and that is when I discovered the real issue with Wendells. JACK SHANNON! I explained the situation and he was not apologetic. He accused me of ordering fries the next time and refused to apologize for it. He said that he would only apologize for the sandwich the first time but not for the chips/fries issue and got angry when I mentioned it. He said that there was nothing he could do and that he could not help me. He said quite angrily that next time I came in I could have a free sandwich, I just had to ask him. All I want is a sincere apology. Just an "oops, we screwed up and we are very sorry." I will never ever eat there again. Niether will my coworkers and friends in Westerville. I hope that no one that reads this review eats there either. With all the delicious restaraunt choices on Polaris, I will not struggle to find a better lunch spot. And if JACK SHANNON reads this, was the $6 dollar sandwich worth it???
wendell's – Wow! Cold food...A hair in a dish,
I just have two words.....
overpriced – Unless you're just going there for a drink or some bar food, I'd stay away from Wendell's. The entrees are average and way over-priced. The servers are usually excellent and friendly. The hostesses can be a bit snippy. We asked for a time estimate when we came in as a party of 5 one Friday night and honestly were told "we don't give out time estimates." That and then we come to realize that they don't give people tables if they aren't going to fill it - i.e. they wouldn't give us a table that seated 6-8 since we were a party of 5.
Nice bar atmosphere. – The bar was nice. The bartender was nice. A good place to get a beer and talk with friends. Laidback.

Mint Sea Scarf
11 comments:
Hi Tanis: This is a beautiful scarf. I would love to knit it. Did you design the pattern? Can you provide information on how to get this pattern? thanks susanReplyDelete
J'aime bien ton foulard! L'idée des boutons, c'est bien car ça permet de varier l'utilisationReplyDelete
...Et le rouge à lèvre te va très bien. Un p'tit coup de rouge et on a l'air déjà plus réveillée non? Moi j'aime bien!
Love the scarf! And when I saw the first picture, my first thought was 'nice lipstick', it looks good on you. The summer weekend at the cottage looks like pure bliss! So is there an official name for the scarf pattern and have you released the pattern? :)ReplyDelete
fuschia is THE new colour for spring so i think that officially makes you trendy :)ReplyDelete
ps, the scarf is pretty too!
I Love your lipstick!! It looks awesome with the seabreeze and spearmint lacy scarf, which looks so fun to wear. I'm still jealous of your snow. Toronto is having the wussiest winter ever.ReplyDelete
Maybe what's happening with the lipstick is that your design/color instincts are kicking in. Maybe it's not a function of bright as much as the actual shade of red just doesn't work as well for your skin. How's the balance of true reds versus the blues, purples and fuschias in your wardrobe?ReplyDelete
I love the scarf, the lipstick, and the cottage experience. Jealousss. I really like the colors you chose for this project, they work SO well.ReplyDelete
I love this scarf. The pattern is different and I like the button accents. The colors that you chose are lovely and compliment your lipstick ;-)ReplyDelete
Très joli ton écharpe! Même le nom est rafraîchissant! Pour le rouge à lèvre, parfois c'est une question de trouver la bonne teinte! J'en ai justement dénicher un que j'aime bien le weekend dernier!ReplyDelete
Color, eyelet, buttons ... and your lipstick make a fabulous look!ReplyDelete
Excellent scarf, but I really wanted to tell you how much I love your hair in these photos! How do you get your body at the roots?ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for leaving me a comment! I love hearing what you have to say. I do my best to answer questions right here in the comments, so if you ask a question, be sure to check back because the answer might be here waiting for you! If you have a really specific question that deserves a more in depth answer be sure to leave your e-mail address in your comment so I can get in touch with you.

Yum – I went solo late on a Monday and had great service and found it to be a good place if dining alone. The atmosphere is qaint and relaxing with outdoor seating too. The garlic naan and vegetable kofka was fantastic. Next time I'm looking for Indian cuisine...I'm heading back there.
Charming restaurant at the base of Horton Plaza offers a traditional Indian menu of curries and kabobs. – In Short
True locals know this nook in the Gaslamp isn't San Diego's other famed Star of India (the ship.) Warm colors bathe the award winning Indian restaurant as tables bump up against one another and conversation easily flows. Star of India's mouth watering bread, such as garlic nan and buttery paratha, and dozens of authentic curry specialties, are stellar menu picks.

- Die Xerothermrasen-Gesellschaften des unteren Unstruttales und einige ökologische Gründe für ihre Verteilung im Raum (1999)
- Das Gebiet an der unteren Unstrut nimmt hinsichtlich seiner Vegetation und Flora eine Sonderstellung ein, da sich hier kontinental und (sub-)mediterran verbreitete Sippen mischen. In den Xerothermrasen profitieren die östlichen Sippen vom subkontinentalen Klima, während der vorherrschende Muschelkalk-Untergrund und die Sommerwärme die zahlreichen kalkliebenden südlichen Sippen begünstigen. Daneben stellt das Unstruttal ein bedeutsames Refugialgebiet reliktischer Steppen- und Mittelmeerarten dar (BECKER 2000). Alles zusammen bewirkt eine überdurchschnittlich hohe Artenvielfalt und eine hohe Zahl verschiedener Xerothermrasen-Gesellschaften. Diese Gesellschaften und die mikroklimatischen und edaphischen Gründe für ihre Verteilung im Raum zu beschreiben, ist ein Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit (VGL. BECKER 1996; s.a. BECKER 1998a, b). Kleinere Teilgebiete des Unstruttales wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Xerothermrasen-Gesellschaften bereits untersucht, so das NSG Steinklöbe von MEUSEL (1937) sowie HÖLZEL (1997), das NSG Neue Göhle von ALTEHAGE (1951) und das NSG Tote Täler von REICHHOFF et al. (1979). Auch bei KRAUSE (1940) finden sich interessante Überlegungen zu einzelnen Arten, während HENSEN (1997), BÖTTNER et al. (1997), HENSEN & KENTRUP (1998) und HEINZ & PFEIFFER (1998) mehrere Gesellschaften im Gebiet hinsichtlich der Lebensstrategien ihrer Arten untersucht haben. Schließlich sei noch die Studie von MAHN (1965) genannt, mit der man die pflanzensoziologischen Ergebnisse in einen größeren Kontext stellen kann. Mit der Rolle von Mikroklima und Boden in herzynischen Xerothermrasen haben sich u.a. HELMECKE (1972), REICHHOFF (1979, 1980) und SCHLÜTER & BALLER (1982) befaßt. Nicht unerwähnt bleiben sollen die grundlegenden Arbeiten von VOLK (1936, 1937b), HEILIG (1931) und DÖRR (1941).
- A prospective randomised, open-labeled, trial comparing sirolimus-containing versus mTOR-inhibitor-free immunosuppression in patients undergoing liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (2010)
- Background: The potential anti-cancer effects of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors are being intensively studied. To date, however, few randomised clinical trials (RCT) have been performed to demonstrate anti-neoplastic effects in the pure oncology setting, and at present, no oncology endpoint-directed RCT has been reported in the high-malignancy risk population of immunosuppressed transplant recipients. Interestingly, since mTOR inhibitors have both immunosuppressive and anti-cancer effects, they have the potential to simultaneously protect against immunologic graft loss and tumour development. Therefore, we designed a prospective RCT to determine if the mTOR inhibitor sirolimus can improve hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-free patient survival in liver transplant (LT) recipients with a pre-transplant diagnosis of HCC. Methods: The study is an open-labelled, randomised, RCT comparing sirolimus-containing versus mTOR-inhibitor-free immunosuppression in patients undergoing LT for HCC. Patients with a histologically confirmed HCC diagnosis are randomised into 2 groups within 4-6 weeks after LT; one arm is maintained on a centre-specific mTOR-inhibitor-free immunosuppressive protocol and the second arm is maintained on a centre-specific mTOR-inhibitor-free immunosuppressive protocol for the first 4-6 weeks, at which time sirolimus is initiated. A 3-year recruitment phase is planned with a 5-year follow-up, testing HCC-free survival as the primary endpoint. Our hypothesis is that sirolimus use in the second arm of the study will improve HCC-free survival. The study is a non-commercial investigator-initiated trial (IIT) sponsored by the University Hospital Regensburg and is endorsed by the European Liver and Intestine Transplant Association; 13 countries within Europe, Canada and Australia are participating. Discussion: If our hypothesis is correct that mTOR inhibition can reduce HCC tumour growth while simultaneously providing immunosuppression to protect the liver allograft from rejection, patients should experience less post-transplant problems with HCC recurrence, and therefore could expect a longer and better quality of life. A positive outcome will likely change the standard of posttransplant immunosuppressive care for LT patients with HCC.

- IL-2 stimulated but not unstimulated NK cells induce selective disappearance of peripheral blood cells: concomitant results to a phase I/II study (2011)
- In an ongoing clinical phase I/II study, 16 pediatric patients suffering from high risk leukemia/tumors received highly purified donor natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy (NK-DLI) at day (+3) +40 and +100 post haploidentical stem cell transplantation. However, literature about the influence of NK-DLI on recipient's immune system is scarce. Here we present concomitant results of a noninvasive in vivo monitoring approach of recipient's peripheral blood (PB) cells after transfer of either unstimulated (NK-DLI(unstim)) or IL-2 (1000 U/ml, 9–14 days) activated NK cells (NK-DLI(IL-2 stim)) along with their ex vivo secreted cytokine/chemokines. We performed phenotypical and functional characterizations of the NK-DLIs, detailed flow cytometric analyses of various PB cells and comprehensive cytokine/chemokine arrays before and after NK-DLI. Patients of both groups were comparable with regard to remission status, immune reconstitution, donor chimerism, KIR mismatching, stem cell and NK-DLI dose. Only after NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) was a rapid, almost complete loss of CD56(bright)CD16(dim/−) immune regulatory and CD56(dim)CD16(+) cytotoxic NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells and eosinophils from PB circulation seen 10 min after infusion, while neutrophils significantly increased. The reduction of NK cells was due to both, a decrease in patients' own CD69(−) NCR(low)CD62L(+) NK cells as well as to a diminishing of the transferred cells from the NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) with the CD56(bright)CD16(+/−)CD69(+)NCR(high)CD62L(−) phenotype. All cell counts recovered within the next 24 h. Transfer of NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) translated into significantly increased levels of various cytokines/chemokines (i.e. IFN-γ, IL-6, MIP-1β) in patients' PB. Those remained stable for at least 1 h, presumably leading to endothelial activation, leukocyte adhesion and/or extravasation. In contrast, NK-DLI(unstim) did not cause any of the observed effects. In conclusion, we assume that the adoptive transfer of NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) under the influence of ex vivo and in vivo secreted cytokines/chemokines may promote NK cell trafficking and therefore might enhance efficacy of immunotherapy.
- Functional and structural properties of dentate granule cells with hilar basal dendrites in mouse entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures (2012)
- During postnatal development hippocampal dentate granule cells (GCs) often extend dendrites from the basal pole of their cell bodies into the hilar region. These so-called hilar basal dendrites (hBD) usually regress with maturation. However, hBDs may persist in a subset of mature GCs under certain conditions (both physiological and pathological). The functional role of these hBD-GCs remains not well understood. Here, we have studied hBD-GCs in mature (≥18 days in vitro) mouse entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures under control conditions and have compared their basic functional properties (basic intrinsic and synaptic properties) and structural properties (dendritic arborisation and spine densities) to those of neighboring GCs without hBDs in the same set of cultures. Except for the presence of hBDs, we did not detect major differences between the two GC populations. Furthermore, paired recordings of neighboring GCs with and without hBDs did not reveal evidence for a heavy aberrant GC-to-GC connectivity. Taken together, our data suggest that in control cultures the presence of hBDs on GCs is neither sufficient to predict alterations in the basic functional and structural properties of these GCs nor indicative of a heavy GC-to-GC connectivity between neighboring GCs.
- Entorhinal denervation induces homeostatic synaptic scaling of excitatory postsynapses of dentate granule cells in mouse organotypic slice cultures (2012)
- Denervation-induced changes in excitatory synaptic strength were studied following entorhinal deafferentation of hippocampal granule cells in mature (≥3 weeks old) mouse organotypic entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed an increase in excitatory synaptic strength in response to denervation during the first week after denervation. By the end of the second week synaptic strength had returned to baseline. Because these adaptations occurred in response to the loss of excitatory afferents, they appeared to be in line with a homeostatic adjustment of excitatory synaptic strength. To test whether denervation-induced changes in synaptic strength exploit similar mechanisms as homeostatic synaptic scaling following pharmacological activity blockade, we treated denervated cultures at 2 days post lesion for 2 days with tetrodotoxin. In these cultures, the effects of denervation and activity blockade were not additive, suggesting that similar mechanisms are involved. Finally, we investigated whether entorhinal denervation, which removes afferents from the distal dendrites of granule cells while leaving the associational afferents to the proximal dendrites of granule cells intact, results in a global or a local up-scaling of granule cell synapses. By using computational modeling and local electrical stimulations in Strontium (Sr2+)-containing bath solution, we found evidence for a lamina-specific increase in excitatory synaptic strength in the denervated outer molecular layer at 3–4 days post lesion. Taken together, our data show that entorhinal denervation results in homeostatic functional changes of excitatory postsynapses of denervated dentate granule cells in vitro.
- Proliferation and estrogen signaling can distinguish patients at risk for early versus late relapse among estrogen receptor positive breast cancers (2013)
- INTRODUCTION: We examined if a combination of proliferation markers and estrogen receptor (ER) activity could predict early versus late relapses in ER-positive breast cancer and inform the choice and length of adjuvant endocrine therapy. METHODS: Baseline affymetrix gene-expression profiles from ER-positive patients who received no systemic therapy (n = 559), adjuvant tamoxifen for 5 years (cohort-1: n = 683, cohort-2: n = 282) and from 58 patients treated with neoadjuvant letrozole for 3 months (gene-expression available at baseline, 14 and 90 days) were analyzed. A proliferation score based on the expression of mitotic kinases (MKS) and an ER-related score (ERS) adopted from Oncotype DX® were calculated. The same analysis was performed using the Genomic Grade Index as proliferation marker and the luminal gene score from the PAM50 classifier as measure of estrogen-related genes. Median values were used to define low and high marker groups and four combinations were created. Relapses were grouped into time cohorts of 0-2.5, 0-5, 5-10 years. RESULTS: In the overall 10 years period, the proportional hazards assumption was violated for several biomarker groups indicating time-dependent effects. In tamoxifen-treated patients Low-MKS/Low-ERS cancers had continuously increasing risk of relapse that was higher after 5 years than Low-MKS/High-ERS cancers [0 to 10 year, HR 3.36; p = 0.013]. High-MKS/High-ERS cancers had low risk of early relapse [0-2.5 years HR 0.13; p = 0.0006], but high risk of late relapse which was higher than in the High-MKS/Low-ERS group [after 5 years HR 3.86; p = 0.007]. The High-MKS/Low-ERS subset had most of the early relapses [0 to 2.5 years, HR 6.53; p < 0.0001] especially in node negative tumors and showed minimal response to neoadjuvant letrozole. These findings were qualitatively confirmed in a smaller independent cohort of tamoxifen-treated patients. Using different biomarkers provided similar results. CONCLUSIONS: Early relapses are highest in highly proliferative/low-ERS cancers, in particular in node negative tumors. Relapses occurring after 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen are highest among the highly-proliferative/high-ERS tumors although their risk of recurrence is modest in the first 5 years on tamoxifen. These tumors could be the best candidates for extended endocrine therapy.
- Extended pancreas donor program – the EXPAND study rationale and study protocol (2013)
- Background: Simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation (SPK), pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) or pancreas transplantation after kidney (PAK) are the only curative treatment options for patients with type 1 (juvenile) diabetes mellitus with or without impaired renal function. Unfortunately, transplant waiting lists for this indication are increasing because the current organ acceptability criteria are restrictive; morbidity and mortality significantly increase with time on the waitlist. Currently, only pancreas organs from donors younger than 50 years of age and with a body mass index (BMI) less than 30 are allocated for transplantation in the Eurotransplant (ET) area. To address this issue we designed a study to increase the available donor pool for these patients. Methods/Design: This study is a prospective, multicenter (20 German centers), single blinded, non-randomized, two armed trial comparing outcome after SPK, PTA or PAK between organs with the currently allowed donor criteria versus selected organs from donors with extended criteria. Extended donor criteria are defined as organs procured from donors with a BMI of 30 to 34 or a donor age between 50 and 60 years. Immunosuppression is generally standardized using induction therapy with Myfortic, tacrolimus and low dose steroids. In principle, all patients on the waitlist for primary SPK, PTA or PAK are eligible for the clinical trial when they consent to possibly receiving an extended donor criteria organ. Patients receiving an organ meeting the current standard criteria for pancreas allocation (control arm) are compared to those receiving extended criteria organ (study arm); patients are blinded for a follow-up period of one year. The combined primary endpoint is survival of the pancreas allograft and pancreas allograft function after three months, as an early relevant outcome parameter for pancreas transplantation. Discussion: The EXPAND Study has been initiated to investigate the hypothesis that locally allocated extended criteria organs can be transplanted with similar results compared to the currently allowed standard ET organ allocation. If our study shows a favorable comparison to standard organ allocation criteria, the morbidity and mortality for patients waiting for transplantation could be reduced in the future.
