About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
This unit doesn't fluctuate in temperature, which means foods will stay fresher longer. However, we found great variations in temperature from spot to spot — the top shelf was too warm for milk and the bottom one too cold for fruit. In fact, shelves near the top got as high as 45ø F when we had the control set at 37ø F — that's five degrees above the USDA's recommended temperature for food safety. You'll want to select a lower setting to maintain food safety. All of the glass refrigerator shelves can be rearranged to maximize storage options. None of the shelves slide out or flip back though (to accommodate tall items). The pantry drawer, which hangs from a low shelf, provides a place to keep cheese and cold cuts and is a great organizational tool. The icemaker is built into the left door, freeing up valuable space on the top refrigerator shelf. The freezer door tilts open, giving you access to the wire basket on the door without the hassle of pulling out the entire drawer, and when you do open the drawer, it's easier to see and reach what's inside. In the freezer compartment, you can adjust the divider to accommodate your needs. Almost all your questions should be answered in the exceptionally thorough owner's manual, though there was no toll-free number for contacting customer service listed. sears.com

POSTED: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 - 11:00pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 - 11:14pm
(CNN) — The federal government has reversed a proposed cut that could have left millions who get their health insurance through the Medicare Advantage plan paying more for coverage.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Monday the final Medicare Advantage rates for 2014.
CMS had initially proposed a 2.3% reduction in what the government pays the insurance companies that provide the plans -- a move that would have saved the government money but potentially would cost the public more.
However, CMS on Monday announced a 3.3% increase instead.
Insurance companies were upset by the proposed cut, and spent the public comment period time lobbying legislators and running ads against it.
Ads from the America's Health Insurance Plans' Coalition for Medicare Choices called the proposal "drastic" and "too much" and featured seniors saying they can't afford to pay more for health care.
About 25% of the 47 million Americans on Medicare pay more to have Medicare Advantage. The plans are run by private insurance companies that are reimbursed by the government for doing so.
The plans vary, but they offer the elderly more than they would get with regular Medicare. Most plans offer prescription drug coverage; some also offer dental and vision. All the plans cap a person's out-of-pocket expenses, while regular Medicare does not.
Seniors won't know what their out-of-pocket costs will be until the fall, when insurance companies put in their bids for government work.

NACCHO recognizes the many partners that work with NACCHO and our members. These partners contribute collaboration and financial support. Together we work to advance local public health. This section contains selected news and resources that are of use to local health departments from our partners. With grants from a coalition including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and with NACCHO's support, an interdisciplinary team at the University of Kentucky is launching a new study designed to "Identify, compare, and contrast exceptional models of collaborative partnerships involving public health departments, hospitals, and other stakeholders committed to improving community health and determine the key lessons learned from their experience." You are cordially invited to nominate collaborative models that are well-established and, in your opinion, demonstrate all or many of the core characteristics of successful partnerships spelled out on pp. 3-4 in the Executive Summary. We encourage your participation in this study.

A Message to Local Health Organizations
Every so often a conference is held which is significant because of the content under discussion, the timing of the session, or the unified call to action which arises from a collective sense of mission. I attended a meeting recently which meets all three criteria, and the implications, I believe, are worth sharing with you. On November 12th and 13th, The Association of Academic Health Centers (AAHC) convened an invitational meeting that included academic health center leaders, state and local public health officials, including many NACCHO staff and constituents. The meeting's purpose was to develop strategies for academic health centers to improve the health of the communities they serve by more fully addressing the social determinants of health in all their mission areas. A unique focus of the meeting was the development of strategic partnerships with the governmental public health community. Meeting participants identified several options for AAHC to move forward, including developing a strategic communications plan for the initiative, means of facilitating more collaboration between academic health center leadership, public health officials and other stakeholders, and advocating for changes in healthcare payments. AAHC and the social determinants planning committee have held an initial post-meeting conference call and are assessing the various ideas and suggestions made by meeting participants to prioritize the path forward. One suggestion of the planning committee is for AAHC to ask its member institutions, if they have not yet done so, to identify key local/state health officials and consider scheduling an introductory meeting with the appropriate senior academic health center leadership. I wanted to alert you that you may be contacted by your local University, and I encourage you to take the call. If you are uncertain if you have an AAHC member in your region, you can find the full membership roster at: www.aahcdc.org I've asked David Dyjack, NACCHO's Associate Executive Director for Programs to respond to any questions, insights, or concerns. He may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Prescription Drug Overdose by Methadone

Esophageal pH monitoring is a test that measures how often stomach acid enters the tube that leads from the mouth to the stomach (called the esophagus). The test also measures how long the acid stays there.
pH monitoring - esophageal; Esophageal acidity test
A thin tube is passed through your nose or mouth to your stomach. The tube is then is pulled back into your esophagus. A monitor attached to the tube measures the acid level in your esophagus.
You will wear the monitor on a strap and record your symptoms and activity over the next 24 hours. You will return to the hospital the next day and the tube will be removed. The information from the monitor will be compared with your diary notes.
Infants and children may need to stay in the hospital for the esophageal pH monitoring.
Your health care provider will ask you to not eat or drink after midnight before the test. You should also avoid smoking.
Some medicines may change the test results. Your health care provider may ask you to not take these for between 24 hours and 2 weeks (or more) before the test. You also may be told to avoid alcohol. Medicines that you may need to stop include:
Do not stop taking any medicine unless told to do so by your health care provider.
You may experience a brief gagging sensation as the tube is passed through your throat.
Esophageal pH monitoring is used to check how much stomach acid is entering the esophagus. It also checks how well the acid is cleared downward into the stomach. It is a test for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD ).
This test can also be performed during upper GI endoscopy by clipping a pH monitor to the lining of the esophagus. In infants, this test is also used to check for GERD and other problems related to excessive crying .
Normal value ranges may vary depending on the lab doing the test. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Increased acid in the esophagus may be related to:
You may need to have the following tests if your doctor suspects esophagitis :

The pain, swelling, and stiffness of arthritis can limit your movement. Medicines can help manage your symptoms so that you can continue to lead an active life. Talk to your doctor about medicines that are right for you.
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with your arthritis symptoms. "Over-the-counter" means you can buy these medicines without a prescription.
Most doctors recommend acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) first. It has fewer side effects than other drugs. Do not take more than 3 grams (3,000 mg) a day.
If your pain continues, your doctor may suggest non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Types of NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.
Taking acetaminophen or another pain pill before exercising is OK. But do not overdo the exercise because you have taken medicine.
Both NSAIDs and acetaminophen in high doses, or taken for a long time, can cause serious side effects. If you are taking pain relievers on most days, tell your doctor. You may need to be watched for side effects. Your doctor may want to monitor you with certain blood tests.
Capsaicin (Zostrix) is a skin cream that may help relieve pain. You may feel a warm, stinging sensation when you first apply the cream. This sensation goes away after a few days of use. Pain relief usually begins within 1 to 2 weeks.
NSAIDs in the form of skin cream are available over-the-counter or by prescription. Ask your doctor if these might be right for you.
Medicine called corticosteroids can be injected into the joint to help with swelling and pain. Relief only lasts for a short time. More than two or three shots a year may be a harmful. These shots are usually done at your doctor's office.
When the pain seems to go away after these injections, it may be tempting to go back to activities that may have caused your pain. When you receive these injections, ask your doctor or physical therapist to give you exercises and stretches that will decrease the chance of your pain returning.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance already in the fluid of your knee. It helps lubricate the joint. When you have arthritis, the hyaluronic acid in your joint becomes thinner and less effective.
Your doctor can inject a form of hyaluronic acid into your joint to help lubricate and protect it. This is sometimes called artificial joint fluid, or visco supplementation.
These injections cannot help everyone. If they do help, relief may last 3 to 6 months. Hyaluronic acid use is approved only for knee arthritis.
The body naturally makes both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. They are important for healthy cartilage in your joints. These two substances come in supplement form and can be bought over-the-counter.
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements may help control pain. But they do not seem to help the joint grow new cartilage or keep arthritis from getting worse. Some doctors recommend a trial period of 3 months to see whether glucosamine and chondroitin help.
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe, pronounced "sammy") is a man-made form of a natural chemical in the body. Claims that SAMe can help arthritis are not well proven.

Callebaut Chocolate Block - Bittersweet (cocoa solids: 60%)
Belgian chocolate maker, Callebaut, is one of the committed, artisan producers to make chocolate in its entirety, from bean to bar. They roast cacao beans in their shell in order to capture and concentrate the aroma and flavor, leading to greater complexity. All of Callebauts ingredients are ground extremely fine finer than most other producers which translates into an extremely smooth mouth-feel.
This is our preferred chocolate for baking (think chocolate chunk cookies and chocolate cake!) and especially great for chocolate fondue. Available in 1-lb blocks.

Drug abuse is the misuse or overuse of any medication or drug, including alcohol. This article discusses first aid for drug overdose and withdrawal.
Overdose from drugs
Many street drugs have no therapeutic benefits. Any use of these drugs is a form of drug abuse.
Legitimate medications can be abused by people who take more than the recommended dose or who intentionally take them with alcohol or other drugs.
Drug interactions may also produce adverse effects. Therefore, it is important to let your doctor know about all the drugs you are taking, including vitamins and other over-the-counter medications.
Many drugs are addictive. Sometimes the addiction is gradual. However, some drugs (such as cocaine ) can cause addiction after only a few doses.
Someone who has become addicted to a drug usually will have withdrawal symptoms when the drug is suddenly stopped. Withdrawal is greatly assisted by professional help.
A drug dose that is large enough to be toxic is called an overdose. This may occur suddenly, when a large amount of the drug is taken at one time, or gradually, as a drug builds up in the body over a longer period of time. Prompt medical attention may save the life of someone who accidentally or deliberately takes an overdose.
An overdose of narcotics can cause sleepiness , slowed breathing, and even unconsciousness .
Uppers (stimulants ) produce excitement, increased heart rate, and rapid breathing . Downers (depressants) do just the opposite.
Mind-altering drugs are called hallucinogens. They include LSD , PCP (angel dust), and other street drugs. Using such drugs may cause paranoia , hallucinations, aggressive behavior, or extreme social withdrawal.
Cannabis-containing drugs such as marijuana may cause relaxation, impaired motor skills, and increased appetite.
Legal prescription drugs are sometimes taken in higher than recommended amounts to achieve a feeling other than the therapeutic effects for which they were intended. This may lead to serious side effects.
The use of any of the above mentioned drugs may result in impaired judgment and decision-making skills.
Drug overdose symptoms vary widely depending on the specific drug used, but may include:
Drug withdrawal symptoms also vary widely depending on the specific drug used, but may include:
1. Check the patient's airway, breathing, and pulse. If necessary, begin CPR . If the patient is unconscious but breathing, carefully place him or her in the recovery position. If the patient is conscious, loosen the clothing, keep the person warm, and provide reassurance. Try to keep the patient calm. If an overdose is suspected, try to prevent the patient from taking more drugs. Call for immediate medical assistance.
2. Treat the patient for signs of shock , if necessary. Signs include: weakness , bluish lips and fingernails , clammy skin , paleness , and decreasing alertness.
3. If the patient is having seizures, give convulsion first aid.
4. Keep monitoring the patient's vital signs (pulse , rate of breathing, blood pressure) until emergency medical help arrives.
5. If possible, try to determine which drug(s) were taken and when. Save any available pill bottles or other drug containers. Provide this information to emergency medical personnel.
Drug emergencies are not always easy to identify. If you suspect someone has overdosed, or if you suspect someone is experiencing withdrawal, give first aid and seek medical assistance.
Try to find out what drug the person has taken. If possible, collect all drug containers and any remaining drug samples or the person's vomit and take them to the hospital.

Editor's note: With offseason work across the league coming to an end, the focus shifts to the steamy summer workouts ahead. To get you fully primed for the preseason and beyond, Sporting News provides in-depth looks at all 32 teams leading into training camp. Today: New York Jets. Prediction: Fourth, AFC East. Next: NFC East.Start Slideshow
The next few months could represent Rex Ryan's last chance to leave a positive imprint on the Jets. With first-year general manager John Idzik now in place, Ryan might have to win now to save his job. (He has two years left on his contract.)
But winning now might not be possible with a low-budget roster featuring numerous unproven youngsters and several injury-plagued veterans looking for a fresh start.
"This is a new chance for me," said Ryan, who enters his fifth season. "This is a beginning."
But even with owner Woody Johnson's support, if Ryan cannot coexist with Idzik, the end could come sooner than he might expect.
Next: two players to watch

BREAKOUT PLAYER:Next
RB Chris Ivory
Ivory has gotten mostly spot duty during three seasons in New Orleans, but the Jets gave up a fourth-round pick for him because they believe he can be an upgrade over the departed Shonn Greene as a downhill runner who can grind out tough yardage between the tackles.
SCOUT'S TAKE: ILB David Harris
"Has size, strength, good instinctiveness, can key and trigger and locate ball well. Has in-line run-defend ability and can play downhill. Has good in-line quickness with above average speed, can play on his feet and defend the run both inside and outside. Can take on a guard or fill and take on a lead-type fullback, too.
Ryan's blustery, macho persona often is reflected in his in-game decisions. He likes to go for it on fourth down and still delights in sending max blitzes. He says he wants the 2013 offense to be more "attacking" and "unpredictable."
Next: View from the other sideline -
An opponent breaks down the Jets:Next
"They still have some pieces on defense. They're strong at defensive end. I like David Harris, and it was time to pass the baton to the (DeMario) Davis kid at the other inside linebacker spot. (He) won't be as physical as Bart Scott but will run better and cover more ground in space.
"What they lack right now is difference-making talent at safety (and) enough pass rush value at the core position of a 3-4 defense in their outside linebackers group. And I think (Kyle) Wilson is more of a solid third and nickel type than a solid No. 2 cornerback (and) perimeter defender.
"Without a quality QB, you need a good running game and defense — and right now their defense wasn't what it was in the past, and their running game has lessened (in comparison) to what they used to be able to produce. So in order to help the QB situation, I think New York needs to find a way to improve their rushing attack."
Next: Analysis of offense -
New coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, who comes to the Jets after spending seven seasons as the Eagles' coordinator, will be installing his version of the West Coast offense. From quarterbacks, it demands quick, decisive reads and accurate short and intermediate throws that lead to yards after the catch for receivers. Those passes set up a running game that features lots of counters and trap plays.Next
Also, running backs are integral to the passing game. They are used heavily as receivers, and not only in third-down situations. Mornhinweg's system takes more downfield shots than other versions of the West Coast.
Quarterbacks: Would Mark Sanchez be on the roster if he weren't owed $8.75 million in guaranteed money? Probably not, but as it is, he could get one last shot to prove he is the Jets' quarterback of the future.
Sanchez (AP)
Greg McElroy is also on the roster, but the organization doesn't have as much faith in the 2011 seventh-round pick, who got one start last season after Sanchez was benched. McElroy is competing with 2012 undrafted free agent Matt Simms for the third-string job.
Smith, considered by some to be a top-10 pick, fell to the Jets in the second round. He has plenty of talent, but it remains to be seen how quickly he can adjust to the complexities of NFL defenses.
To win the job, Sanchez will have to make major improvements in his decision-making and accuracy and show that the last two seasons haven't ruined him mentally and emotionally. GRADE: C
Running backs: With the departure of Shonn Greene as a free agent, the Jets will have a new starter this season. The likeliest candidates are third-year pro Bilal Powell and former Saint Chris Ivory, acquired from New Orleans for a fourth-round pick. Powell became the primary backup to Greene last season, leaping ahead of Joe McKnight. Ivory is considered an excellent downhill runner, so he could be the first- and second-down back.
Fifth-year pro Mike Goodson, a free-agent signee, has never been an every-down back, but his pass-catching ability should make him a good fit in the Jets' new offensive system. However, Goodson's May 17 arrest on charges of drug and weapons possession has cost him valuable time on the field during the spring, and it's possible he could receive a suspension from the league, depending upon how his case eventually turns out.
Lex Hilliard is a steady fullback and a good special-teamer. GRADE: C+
Receivers: No. 1 receiver Santonio Holmes is coming off a Lisfranc foot injury, and his speed seemed to be diminishing even before that, so it remains to be seen whether he can be the big-play receiver he was previously. It's quite possible, perhaps even likely, he will begin training camp next month on the PUP list.
Stephen Hill showed flashes as a rookie but also had problems with dropped passes and route running after making the leap from Georgia Tech's run-oriented offense. The drops have continued during the spring. Jeremy Kerley shows signs of developing into the consummate slot receiver and figures to have a large role, especially on third down.
Clyde Gates is the fastest of the Jets' wideouts and showed better hands than advertised in 2012. He could have a bigger role in the new offense. Second-year pro Jordan White has potential as a possession receiver but was used sparingly in 2012.
Line: Pass protection must improve in 2013. Three-fifths of this unit returns intact, with center Nick Mangold, left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and right tackle Austin Howard all back. Mangold was very solid in 2012, but it wasn't his best season. Ferguson also played a little below his normally lofty standards. Howard, in his first season as a full-time starter, was an upgrade over predecessor Wayne Hunter but still needs to improve.
Next: analysis of defense -
There's a new defensive coordinator — Dennis Thurman has taken over for Mike Pettine — but the philosophy and play-calling won't change much. That's because this is still Ryan's defense. It features a 3-4 base but also uses some 4-3 looks. Pressure on the quarterback can come from anywhere in the form of a myriad of blitz packages. A stout nose tackle is necessary to help control the line of scrimmage and defend against the run.Next
Line: The Jets definitely are getting younger here, having moved on from veterans Sione Po'uha and Mike DeVito during the offseason. They have a potential star in third-year pro Muhammad Wilkerson, who can play end in 3-4 fronts and move inside to tackle in 4-3 alignments. At end, 2012 first-round pick Quinton Coples came on strong near the close of his rookie campaign, but the team has decided to move him to outside linebacker. If he can handle playing in space and moves there full time, that opens up a starting spot for first-round pick Sheldon Richardson.
There figures to be a battle for the starting job at nose tackle between former Charger Antonio Garay and third-year pro Kenrick Ellis, a Ryan favorite who has great intensity but has yet to demonstrate an ability to get off blocks consistently. If Garay is healthy, he should win the starting job. GRADE: B
Linebackers: Bart Scott had been the emotional leader of this group since coming over from Baltimore in 2009, but he's gone. David Harris, the remaining starter on the inside, isn't nearly as vocal as Scott but is just as intense and is a very good downhill linebacker. DeMario Davis, a third-round pick in 2012, is the heir apparent at Scott's old position, and Ryan has high hopes for him. However, he was inconsistent in limited action last season and must improve his instincts.
Calvin Pace was released in February but resurfaced in April after drawing little interest on the open market. Although he hasn't become the stud 3-4 edge rusher the Jets were hoping for when they signed him in 2008, he is a solid, savvy every-down linebacker who does his job.
It remains to be seen who will fill the hole at the other outside position with veteran Bryan Thomas not being re-upped. Possibilities include Garrett McIntyre and Ricky Sapp and Coples, if he displays the necessary coverage skills. Former Charger Antwan Barnes, who had 11 sacks in 2011, projects more as much-needed specialist than as an every-down player. The Jets hope he has recovered from hamstring problems. GRADE: C+
Secondary: With superstar corner Darrelle Revis traded to Tampa Bay, Antonio Cromartie assumes the role of No. 1 cornerback. In Revis' absence because of injury last season, Cromartie showed why he deserves the designation, combining his talent and savvy into a consistent package that earned him a Pro Bowl nod.
Kyle Wilson, the team's first-round pick in 2010, still has trouble in man coverage and is often targeted successfully by opponents. To retain a starting job, he will have to fend off 2013 first-round pick Dee Milliner. The former Alabama star seems to be a good fit for the Jets' man-to-man style of coverage. Isaiah Trufant and Aaron Berry could play in sub packages, or they could challenge for the No. 2 cornerback job.
Safety LaRon Landry will be replaced by his older brother, Dawan, who isn't as flashy a player but isn't much worse in coverage. Second-year pros Antonio Allen and Josh Bush have potential but didn't get much playing time as rookies. Bush had the lead over Allen coming out of spring minicamp. GRADE: B
Next: analysis of special teams -
Kicker Nick Folk is solid and consistent and should fend off a challenge to his job again, this time from newcomer Derek Dimke.Next
It's less clear whether punter Robert Malone will beat out newcomer Ryan Quigley, but he does have a very strong leg.
McKnight is a Pro Bowl-caliber kick returner and is adept at finding holes and setting up blocks. Kerley set an NFL record last season with 36 fair catches, and the Jets would like to see him be more aggressive when the situation permits.
Tanner Purdum's name rarely is mentioned, and that's a good thing for a long snapper. GRADE: C+
Next: bottom line -
The Jets are being careful not to use the "R" word, but clearly that's what's going on here. Some ill-advised and backloaded contracts have strapped the Jets in terms of their salary cap, forcing them to restrict their free-agent shopping to the remainder bin in hopes of finding hidden gems.
Respectability is a more realistic goal than the postseason, but even that will take career years from several players. It will also take Sanchez or Smith executing the West Coast system with a minimum of mistakes.
Losing Revis is a huge blow for a defense that was built around his ability to neutralize the opponent's top wideout.

One of my favorite things to do is play with my photos to make digital backgrounds. Partly the reason is if I use my own photos I can be sure there are no copyright issues but mainly it is because I am amazed by the differing and beautiful effects you can get by playing in Photoshop with overlays and filters.
Art Backgrounds 2 is a pack of 5 digital papers. they are 12inch, 300dpi, gamut checked and textured.
How could you use these ?
Some ideas are
as scrapbook backgrounds
add some text and print out for the wall
reduce the size or cop to make cards
as backgrounds for your art journals
print and use in your collage or hybrid art.
Available exclusively in my store here at GDS.
You can see some more images in the store.

Cardiac tamponade is pressure on the heart that occurs when blood or fluid builds up in the space between the heart muscle (myocardium) and the outer covering sac of the heart (pericardium).
Tamponade; Pericardial tamponade
In this condition, blood or fluid collects in the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart. This prevents the heart ventricles from expanding fully. The excess pressure from the fluid prevents the heart from working properly. As a result, the body does not get enough blood.
Cardiac tamponade can occur due to:
Other possible causes include:
Cardiac tamponade occurs in about 2 out of 10,000 people due to disease.
Other symptoms that may occur with this disorder:
There are no specific laboratory tests that diagnose tamponade. Echocardiogram is very often used to help make the diagnosis. This test may be done at the bedside in emergency cases.
A physical exam may show:
Other tests may include:
Cardiac tamponade is an emergency condition that needs to be treated in the hospital.
The fluid around the heart must be drained as quickly as possible. Pericardiocentesis is a procedure that uses a needle to remove fluid from the tissue that surrounds the heart (pericardial sac).
A surgical procedure to cut and remove part of the pericardium may also be done. This is known as surgical pericardiectomy or pericardial window.
Fluids are given to keep blood pressure normal until the fluid can be drained from around the heart. Medicines that increase blood pressure may also help keep the person alive until the fluid is drained.
Oxygen may be given to help reduce the workload on the heart by decreasing tissue demands for blood flow.
The cause of tamponade must be found and treated.
Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency. If the fluid or blood is not quickly removed from the pericardium, death can occur quickly.
The outcome is often good if the condition is treated promptly. However, tamponade may come back.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if symptoms develop. Cardiac tamponade is an emergency condition that needs immediate medical attention.
Many cases are not preventable. Knowing your personal risk factors may help you get early diagnosis and treatment.

Health.com takes a look at which careers have the highest rates of depression to rank the 10 most depressing jobs in the U.S.
10. Salespeople
Many salespeople work on commission and may have to spend time away from home, family and friends because of travel. If they work independently, benefits may be limited.
9. Financial Advisers/Accountants
Most people don't like dealing with their own retirement savings. So can you imagine handling thousands or millions of dollars for others?
8. Maintenance Workers
Maintenance workers are called only when something goes wrong and must work odd hours, seasonal or varied schedules and frequent night shifts.
7. Administrative Support Staff
People in this field are taking orders from all directions, but are also at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of control. Their days can be very unpredictable.
6. Teachers
The demands on teachers seem to be constantly growing. Many work after school and then take work home and, in many areas, they must do a lot with a little.
5. Artists/Entertainers/Writers
These jobs can bring irregular paychecks, uncertain hours and isolation. Creative people may also have higher rates of mood disorders.
4. Health-Care Workers
Health-care workers can have long, irregular hours and days in which other people's lives are literally in their hands.
3. Social Workers
Dealing with abused children or families on the brink of every imaginable crisis -- combined with bureaucratic red tape -- can make for a demanding, stressful job that's often 24-7.
2. Food Service Staff
Wait staff often get low pay and can have exhausting jobs with numerous people telling them what to do each day.
1. Nursing Home/Child Care Workers
A typical day can include feeding, bathing,and caring for others who are often incapable of expressing gratitude or appreciation because they are too ill or too young.
