Water Quality
Beneficial Use Attainment
The Nodaway River system is designated as suitable for aquatic life, fishing, wildlife and livestock watering (MDNR 1986a, MDNR 1995, IAC 1995). A 12 mile section of the river upstream of Clarinda, Iowa is designated as a raw water source for potable water supply (IADNR 1997a). Several small lakes in the Iowa section of the basin are designated for water supply and/or whole body contact (IADNR 1997a). The Nodaway River basin in Iowa was assessed as partially supporting its designated uses (IADNR 1997b). Small isolated reaches of quality habitat and diverse aquatic communities were found but these were considered atypical of the basin in general (IADNR 1997b). The designation of partially supporting means that a healthy community of regionally distributed aquatic species, expected to be encountered in sampling, are limited in the system (IADNR 1997a). Numbers and diversity of aquatic organisms are expected to remain low because of channelization, sedimentation, and periodic low dissolved oxygen concentrations (MDNR 1995). Soil erosion, sediment deposition, and turbidity all contribute to aquatic habitat degradation (MDNR 1986a). The main water problem in the Nodaway basin in Iowa is agricultural non-point source pollution in the form of sediment (IADNR 1997b). If erosion, stream channel modification, and increased nutrient inputs, and their related water quality problems continue, beneficial uses will not be attained in the future.
Chemical Quality of Stream Flow
It is probable that the streams in northwest Missouri were historically turbid during and after periods of high discharge due to the nature of the soils in the area. The activities of man, chiefly channelization and poor agricultural practices, have magnified sediment delivery, turbidity, and their associated problems in the waters of northwest Missouri (MDNR 1986a).
The trend in the Nodaway River from 1968 to 1984 was increasing nitrate concentrations due to agriculture (fertilizer runoff and animal wastes; MDNR 1986a). Water quality at low flows deteriorates due to lack of water volume to dilute point and non-point source pollution (MDNR 1986a). Soil erosion, sediment deposition, and turbidity all contribute to water quality degradation (MDNR 1986a). Temperatures in excess of 27o C are detrimental to spawning and egg development of many fish. Because of shallow water and low flows, this temperature is probably exceeded regularly in the Nodaway River and its tributaries (USDA-SCS 1982). Minimal effects are seen from sewage treatment plants (MDNR 1995). In general water quality in the Nodaway basin in Iowa is good, but low flows and excessive sediment cause problems and threaten to further degrade water quality if current agricultural practices continue (IADNR 1997b). Table Wq01 presents data for water quality in the Nodaway River in Missouri for two years and how they compare to state established water quality standards.
Contaminants, Fish Kills, and Health Advisories
Fish consumption advisories have been issued for all waters of Missouri, excluding the Ozarks, by the Missouri Department of Health (MDOH) since 1985 (MDOH 1996). The MDOH recommends eating no more than one pound per week of bottom feeding fish such as catfish, buffalo, drum, common carp, suckers, and paddlefish, from the Nodaway River and its tributaries (MDC 1997). No consumption advisories apply to bass, sunfish, crappie, or walleye (MDOH 1996).
In 1971, Reliable Rendering Company of Quitman, Missouri was reportedly discharging untreated waste into the Nodaway River, which posed a health and odor problem, but was small enough in quantity that it probably created no measurable effect on water quality (Ryck MDC, internal memo May 20, 1971). In 1984 a fish kill on the East Nodaway River in Iowa was caused by a pesticide spill, but the magnitude and number of fish killed were not known (John Olson IADNR, personal communication).
With the erosive nature of area soils and the increased water velocities due to channelization, several emergency channel stabilization efforts have been undertaken to prevent undermining of bridges, roads, and pipelines. If the river were to erode around a buried pipeline, a significant spill could occur with detrimental effects on downstream habitat and wildlife (MDC files).
A possible threat to the basin is the increasing number of concentrated animal feeding operations. Manure spills and improper land application of waste residues from these facilities have caused serious water quality problems and fish kills in other river basins in Missouri (MDNR 1996a). Low base flows and the reduced volume of water associated with them could create serious problems for aquatic communities in the Nodaway River basin if improper disposal practices at one of these facilities were to occur.
Water Use
Several communities including Maitland, Clearmont, Graham, Skidmore, Fillmore, and Burlington Junction in Missouri, and Greenfield, Fontanelle, Nodaway, Prescott, Cumberland, Villisca, College Springs, Braddyville, and Shambaugh in Iowa withdraw water from the unconsolidated aquifer near the Nodaway River. Both Clearmont and Maitland, Missouri have a chronic problem of drinking water exceeding the standard for nitrate contamination (MDNR 1995). The primary source suspected of creating the problem is local agricultural activities (MDNR 1995). Groundwater in the Nodaway basin in Iowa generally does not meet Iowa Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) standards for drinking water due to excessive total dissolved solids, nitrates, iron, manganese, chloride, and/or sodium (USDA 1981).
Surface water is usually high in iron or manganese but is economically treatable and total dissolved solids and nitrates normally meet the standards set by the IDEQ (USDA 1981). The only surface water intake on the Nodaway River for municipal drinking water use is at Clarinda, Iowa. Several small lakes in the Nodaway watershed, in Iowa, are surface water sources for municipal water supply (IADNR 1997a).
Livestock watering is the largest water use in the Nodaway River basin (MDNR 1986a). Small areas have been irrigated but highly mineralized and unreliable water sources have limited this practice (USCOE 1973). In 1977, about 21,000 acres were irrigated in northwest Missouri. This was projected to increase to 100,000 acres by the year 2000 with the Nodaway River basin included in the area where the greatest increase would occur (Skelton, et al. 1982). Irrigation in Andrew, Holt, and Nodaway counties totaled 42.8 million gallons in 1996 (MDNR 1996a).
Point Source Pollution
Only 0.7 miles of the Nodaway River system in Missouri was estimated to be impacted by point source pollution from sewage treatment plants (MDNR 1995). These areas were small reaches below the Burlington Junction and Skidmore, Missouri sewage treatment plant discharges (MDNR 1995). There are no permitted discharges of metals or toxic organic materials in the Missouri section of the Nodaway basin (MDNR 1995). Table Wq02 lists all permitted wastewater discharges (Figure Wq01) in the Nodaway River basin. Table Wq03 lists all other point source discharges in the Nodaway River Basin.
Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are a growing presence in the basin (38,536 Population Equivalency units (PE) in MO, and 63,300 PE in IA). A listing of all permitted CAFOs in the basin are found in Table Wq04. History indicates that problems with discharges from these operations sometimes occurs. This could seriously impact the water quality and aquatic organisms in the Nodaway River basin should an accidental discharge occur.
The number of hogs and cattle in the basin are considered to be equivalent to a human population of 1.03 million (MDNR 1995). This is roughly 30 times larger than the human population in the basin. Concentrated animal feeding operations are classified as point source discharges and make up 101,836 PE in the basin. The remainder are from ranging livestock.
Non-Point Source Pollution
Non-point source pollution causes most water quality problems in the Nodaway River basin (MDNR 1995). Soil erosion, sediment deposition, and turbidity all contribute to water quality degradation (MDNR 1986a). Soil erosion, channelization, and livestock waste are the three main sources of non-point source pollution (MDNR 1995).
In 1980, soil erosion was estimated to be 17.1 tons/acre/year due to sheet erosion, 4.8 tons/acre/year due to gully erosion, and the sediment yield by streams was 6.1 tons/acre/year (Anderson 1980). On some cropland not protected by conservation practices, the soil loss rate was found to be as high as 30 tons/acre/year (USDA-SCS 1983). In 1995 the estimates were 13-18 tons/acre/year due to sheet erosion, 0.8 - 1.1 tons/acre/year due to gully erosion, and suspended sediment delivery by streams was 3.5 tons/acre/year (MDNR 1995). This indicates progress is being made but probably not enough to help the stream resources impacted by sediments.

Dear Ari
I am an avid follower of Advanced Style and the women portrayed on these pages have truly been so inspirational to me. I would, however, like to take you to task a bit for your use of the word "fearless" here, in conjunction with a tube top. One should never regard a woman as fearless for doing something that a young, slender woman, a woman who fits within our culture's definition of attractive, would not also be called fearless for doing. Debra Rapoport clearly dresses to please herself, as we all should. Coincidentally, she looks great in a tube top.

I am a founding generation Punker. It's not just an attitude, it's not just a philosophy, it's not just a type of music, it's not just a type of fashion, it's not a "phase" you grow out of, it's not a fad that's here today and gone tomorrow. It's a lifestyle and a life long commitment to be anti-status quo, anti-establishment, and to wake up the sleeping sheep to think for themselves, not to gobble up what they want us to believe and get to the truth of all things. I've been this way my whole life, decades before there was even a name for folks like me.
When I leave my apartment, to run errands, do the shopping, or for some sort of fun activity; most people pretend they don't see me, and others actually stare in a rude way. Occasionally some brave soul will actually hurl a comment or insult at me. The most common of which is "why don't you dress your age?" My usual answer is "Punkers are timeless, and we are EVERY age!" That usually shuts them up lol.
But there are days, although they are rare, that it gets me to thinking that perhaps I am not just being unique. That perhaps I am holding onto a youth I have long outgrown. And then a few hours or a couple days pass and I scold myself for the momentary doubt. But I was never able to completely convince myself of that...until now!
I was browsing through Netflix when I came across the documentary "Advanced Style" and my heart sang with joy! These women are my soulmates, and I'm not a freak of nature. I'm just in the wrong city lol. Denver is no place for anyone to be unique, outspoken or against the status quo. Seeing the documentary, and reading through this blog has given me a renewed sense of myself, convinced me once and for all that I'm not holding onto my youth, but advancing into the second half of my life with exactly the right attitude, and the right sense of Punker style that is my own unique brand.
I'm not quite the same age bracket as these spectacular ladies, turning 54 my last birthday. But they have pioneered the road ahead for me, and hope to be worthy of taking up the torch when it's time to pass it onto my generation.
Thank you for being who you are, for putting yourselves out there in such a fabulous way. And thank you Ari for bringing these wonderful women to the attention of everyone, for they are worthy of our appreciation. And thank you most of all for showing me that I am in good company, not to lose my courage to be myself, to continue to show my creativity, attitude, and express my 'in your face Punker Style' for all the rest of my life.

The Barking Dog of the False Ego
The consciousness of our egos causes us to evaluate life into different perceptions.
Our ego is one of the most intimidating and inscrutable realities we face in our lives. Countless philosophers, spiritualists, seekers, and armchair prognosticators have tried to define its parameters and its meaning to our existence. We even have wonderful teachers-like my friends at Gita Sutras-attempting to actualize and excavate the nature of our ego for our most positive spiritual benefit.
Some would also rather do away with the whole idea of the ego altogether, but according to the teachings of the bhakti-yoga tradition, that is not possible. The Bhagavad-gita and countless other wisdom teachings of the bhakti tradition teach us that we are eternally individual spirit souls, currently going through a materialistic bodily experience. We always have an ego, or existence as a unique, individual being, but what we have to watch out for is our "false ego."
One of my teachers has explained the concept like this: We have two dogs in our heart. One is our actual ego, our reality as spirit soul, and one is the false ego, or our false identification with our temporary material body. Both dogs are barking to get our attention, and whichever one we pay attention to the most, or feed the most, becomes dominant in our consciousness. Or, as the Cherokee proverb says:
There is a battle of two wolves inside us all.
One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, lies, inferiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth.
The wolf that wins? The one you feed.
Our false ego disguises itself as our best friend, when it is actually our greatest adversary in our spiritual journey. It is the voice in our consciousness which makes us think we must be the center of the universe, the repose of all prestige, and when we don't get these accolades we react with all the violence of our envious, prideful, and greedy outbursts, ruining our relationships, communities, and hopes in our own search for the Divine.
At its essence, the false ego creates for us suffering, and according to the wisdom of the bhakti tradition, that is completely antithetical to our natural sense of being. As spirit souls, our substance is made of eternality (sat), knowledge (cit), and bliss (ananda), which is also the very same substance as God. Perhaps the greatest form of ananda we can experience is our direct loving relationship with God through His grace and mercy. How we gain access to this is defined by our practical understanding of our own ego-nature.

Tallahassee, Florida- August 28, 2012
The state's price gouging hotline has been lighting up in the wake of Tropical Storm Isaac.
By Tuesday morning, Florida Attorney General's Office had received 53 price gouging complaints. Spokesman John Lucas says many of the complaints have to do with gasoline prices.
Florida prohibits vendors from grossly exceeding the average price of a commodity during a state of emergency unless the seller can justify the cost. Violators face civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation and up to $25,000 for multiple violations in a 24-hour period.
Suspected price gouging can be reported to the state's hotline at 866-966-7226.
Donarey Sanders has been running his own lawn care service for 15 years.
"It seems like every day it gets worse and worse," said Sanders.
Everyday, it costs him about $150 to fill up his vehicle and equipment. The increase in gas prices because of the storm and approaching Labor Day weekend isn't helping.
"I drive all over Tallahassee and I stop to the cheapest place to fill up."
Some drivers feel the measures placed by the state is not enough to stop price gouging.
"Tallahassee's not so bad but South Florida is suffering," said Tallahassee resident Sharon Westover.
So as Labor Day looms, some drivers are just hoping for divine intervention.
"I mean we pray for a drop," said local driver Davon Mills. "Just drop the prices. That's all. That's it."
If you want to know the cheapest gallon of gas near you. Got to the business tab of our website and click gas prices. Then type in your zip code and a list will pop up.

Since the errata in which Azure Beastmaster got an actionskill, the bot with falkow monsters plays the Beastmaster, uses the new actionskill, and....
The game freezes.
I assume that the bot has no idea what to do with the action, so it just sits there feeling happy while the engine waits for it to do something.
Probably not a large concern, though new players (specifically my friend) will find it hard to finish the beginning quests that calls for his defeat.

It's not unusual for a cat to get a hairball, but a 400-pound tiger needed help from veterinary surgeons in Florida when he couldn't hack up a basketball-size hairball by himself.
The 17-year-old tiger named Ty underwent the procedure Wednesday at a veterinary center in the Tampa Bay area community of Clearwater. Doctors said in a statement that they safely removed the 4-pound obstruction from Ty's stomach.
The tiger, which is cared for by Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation in Seminole, was brought to veterinarians after not eating for nearly two weeks. Doctors said they detected the hairball using a scope with a camera.
Vernon Yates, whose nonprofit group regularly assists law enforcement agencies with seized animals, says he's thankful the hairball was removed and Ty is doing fine.

Ben Axelrod
With Ohio State's fall camp a month away from kicking off, we at Buckeye Grove have decided to take a look at the roster that Urban Meyer will be working with in his first year as Ohio State's head coach. Today, we'll take a look at the current state of the Buckeyes' special teams units. You can see yesterday's preview of the Ohio State safeties by clicking here. With the philosophies of former coach Jim Tressel now a thing of the past at Ohio State, Buckeye fans may have trouble adjusting to watching a team that no longer considers the punt to be the most important play in football. That's not to say, however, that new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer- who will personally be coaching the special teams unit- doesn't understand the value that this group can provide to his team. "Momentum with 18, 19-year-olds is priceless," Meyer said. "You have to sometimes call plays, create momentum changes, go after a blocked punt, get a sack, run a fake punt to get momentum." To see the emphasis that Meyer places on special teams, look no further than his time at Florida. In 2010, Meyer's final season with the Gators, Florida ranked as the No. 6 team in the nation when it came to kick return average and No. 8 in average yards per punt. He also helped coach punter Chas Henry to the Ray Guy Award in 2010. The new Ohio State coach now has the opportunity to coach another one of the country's best punters in fifth-year senior Ben Buchanan. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Westerville, Ohio product punted the ball 70 times in 2011 for the Buckeyes, for an average of 41.3 yards per punt, with 27 punts landing within the 20-yard line and only three going for touchbacks. The three-year starter is all but a lock to be named to the watch list for the Ray Guy Award when it's released on Backing up Buchanan will be the Buckeyes' starting kicker in junior Drew Basil. Recently named to the watch list for the Lou Groza Award, which is given annually to the nation's top kicker, Basil led the Big Ten in field goal percentage in 2011 when he connected on 16-of-19 attempts. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Basil also handled kickoff duties, where he averaged 63.5 yards on 63 kicks, with 14 going for touchbacks and two landing out of bounds. Backing up Basil will be third-year sophomore Kyle Clinton, who sat out 2011 as a transfer from Ohio University. The 6-foot-1, 212-pound Dublin native served as kickoff specialist as a true freshman for the Bobcats in 2010, averaging 63.5 yards on 67 kickoffs, with three touchbacks. The Buckeyes will also return their leading kick and punt returner in running back Jordan Hall, although between a foot injury that is expected to keep him out of action for at least the next eight weeks and his expected increase in workload on offense, it is possible that Hall's days of playing special teams are a thing of the past. Potential replacements for Hall in the kick return game include sophomore receiver Devin Smith, who averaged 21.5 yards on four kick returns in 2011, running back Carlos Hyde, who averaged 23.5 yards on two returns, and receiver Cory Brown, who took one kick return for 44 yards a season ago. Should Hall not resume his punt returning duties upon his return, receiver Chris Fields could take over, as the redshirt junior returned five punts for 88 yards and one touchdown in 2010. Both Brown and Smith could also see time at punt returner as well. While the consistency in the Buckeyes' punting and kicking games figure to remain the same, expect for Ohio State to take a more aggressive approach towards getting after punts and field goal attempts on defense, and Meyer's teams blocked 21 punts in his six seasons in Florida.

(Scott Gleeson, USA TODAY Sports) -- USA TODAY Sports' Scott Gleeson counts down to the start of the season, breaking down the projected field of 68.
The first word: In Maryland coach Mark Turgeon's second year in College Park last season, the Terrapins kept knocking on the NCAA tournament door, but they were plagued with inconsistency - boosting their résumé with a signature win against rival Duke one night before collapsing to ACC basement squad Boston College the next game. Ultimately, Maryland settled for the NIT, where they reached the tournament's semifinals in New York and surely looked like a team that belonged in the NCAA tourney in late March.
COUNTDOWN: Projecting the field of 68
Maryland returns seven scholarship players for the first-time in Turgeon's tenure, including top scorer Dez Wells, fellow starter Nick Faust and an experienced sophomore class. Then the Terps welcome in Michigan transfer Evan Smotrycz and two highly touted freshmen in guard Roddy Peters and forward Damonte Dodd. The pieces are in place, but now Turgeon gets his biggest chance to prove himself after 42 wins in two seasons.
It's Maryland's last season in the ACC before joining the Big Ten, and despite a jam-packed league bolstered by the addition of Big East heavyweights, the Terrapins are well-positioned to reach the NCAAs and even be in the mix for the conference title.
Coach's corner: "We have a lot of weapons. We can play big, play small. We have the experience of 12 guys who know what we're wanting. It'll take time and it's tough to avoid injury, but going into the season, we think we're an NCAA tournament team. I think we can compete with anyone in the country." - Turgeon, Maryland's third-year coach.
2013-14 in review: 25-13 overall (8-10 in Atlantic Coast Conference), lost in the NIT semifinals to Iowa.
STARTING FIVE: Top story lines for 2013-14
Conference outlook: How many ACC teams make the NCAA tournament? After only shipping four teams to the NCAA tournament last season in a down year, the conference could almost double that number this season. The educated guess is six or seven bids. Duke, Syracuse, North Carolina and Notre Dame should be locks. Virginia and Maryland should escape the bubble. But how good will Pittsburgh be with an inexperienced team? And can projected middle-of-the-pack teams Georgia Tech, Florida State and N.C. State take a big step? Time will tell, as the league could attain the country's top RPI for the first time since 2009. That'd be a big boost for borderline NCAA teams.
Tournament projection: No. 10 seed.
Star watch: Wells averaged 13.1 points last season after transferring from Xavier. It took him a while to get comfortable, and having a season under his belt should give him an extra gear in 2013-14. Faust (9.4 ppg) scored in double figures 20 times last season and came on strong near the end of the season. Smotrycz, who transferred from Michigan, sat out last season and his eligibility will give the team another dimension. He's a 6-8 forward who's highly accurate from beyond the arc (43.2% at Michigan in 2011-12).
RELATED: Dez Wells sues Xavier over expulsion
X-Factor: The point guard position. Returning sophomore Seth Allen (7.8 ppg) and freshman Peters will likely share duties. Two heady floor generals provide Turgeon a luxury that was lacking in the past. Both players, particularly Peters, have the ability to make others better with their play and charisma.
Team strength/weakness: Size will be a strength. Last season Maryland ranked third nationally in rebounds per game, and current Phoenix Suns big man Len had a lot to do with that. That doesn't mean the Terrapins still can't excel on the glass. Sophomores Shaquille Cleare, Jake Layman and Charles Mitchell provide a paint presence that'll rebound against any team in the country. Cleare is poised for a breakout year. One area of concern is decision-making. Miscues last season proved costly in the ACC. A year of experience for the returnees should help.
Tweet that speaks volume: Yes, Turgeon cried after beating Duke last season. It's that important.

The highlight reel: Maryland fans stormed the court after beating the No. 1 team in the country. It got crazy.
Trivia: 30 Rock character Liz Lemon (portrayed by Tina Fey) attended Maryland on a partial competitive jazz dance scholarship.
Basics: The University of Maryland is in College Park, Md., and the Terrapins play their home games at the Comcast Center, which went up in 2002 and seats 17,950.

Smoking in Cancer Care (PDQ®): Supportive care - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Smoking in Cancer Care
This summary is about cancer patients who smoke, why it is important to stop smoking, and ways to get help. It includes information on the following:
- Risks of smoking in cancer patients, including second cancers.
- Counseling to help cancer patients quit smoking.
- Treatment with drugs to help cancer patients quit smoking.
Smoking and Cancer Risk
Smoking increases the risk of cancer.
Smoking is the leading cause of cancer in the United States. If you smoke, your risk of cancer can be up to 10 times higher than it is for a person who never smoked.
Smoking increases cancer risk by:
- Causing changes in genes.
- Damaging the lungs.
- Making the immune system weak.
Your risk depends on how much and how long you have smoked.
Lung cancer and other types of cancers are linked to smoking.
Cancer risks linked to smoking include the following:
- Lung cancer and head and neck cancers are linked to tobacco use.
- Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States.
- People who started smoking before age 30 and have been smoking for a long time have a high risk of colorectal cancer.
- In smokers diagnosed with cancer, the cancer is more likely to have already spread.
See the following for more information:
- A Report of the Surgeon General: How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease
- Lung Cancer Prevention
Risks of Smoking During Cancer Treatment
Quitting smoking is helpful after cancer is diagnosed.
Studies have found that smokers who quit are more likely to recover from cancer than are patients who continue to smoke.
If you keep smoking, you may not respond well to treatment.
If you continue to smoke during cancer treatment, you may not respond to treatment as well as patients who do not smoke. Also, you may have worse side effects from treatment. For example, patients who are given radiation therapy for laryngeal cancer are less likely to get their voice back to normal if they keep smoking.
Wounds from surgery heal more slowly in patients who keep smoking. Studies have found that prostate cancer patients who keep smoking have a higher risk of the cancer coming back, and of death from prostate cancer. However, prostate cancer patients who quit smoking for 10 years or longer lower their risk of death to about the same as nonsmokers.
Cancer patients who keep smoking increase their risk of having a second cancer.
You have a higher risk of a second cancer if you keep smoking, whether you have a cancer that is smoking-related or not smoking-related. The risk of a second cancer may last for up to 20 years, even if the first cancer has been treated and is in remission (signs and symptoms of cancer have disappeared). Patients with oral and pharyngeal cancer who smoke have a high risk of a second cancer, but the risk is much less after 5 years of not smoking.
Counseling to Help You Quit Smoking
Counseling may make it easier for you to quit smoking.
It is not easy to quit smoking and research has shown that people are more likely to quit if they have help. Mood changes are common in cancer patients and in people who smoke or are trying to quit smoking. Talk with your doctor if you have feelings of depression. Your doctor can offer counseling or other ways to help you quit smoking and treat depression when needed.
Not all smokers are motivated to quit. If you are not motivated to quit smoking, your doctor may be able to help you become motivated.
Your doctor or other health care professional may take the following steps to help you quit:
- Ask you about your smoking habits at every visit.
- Advise you to quit smoking.
- Help you with a plan to quit smoking by:
- Setting a date to quit smoking.
- Giving you self-help materials.
- Recommending drug treatment.
- Plan follow-up visits with you.
It may take more than one try to quit smoking completely.
When you first quit smoking, it is common to start again. There will be many stressful times that will make you want to smoke. Counseling can help you find ways to handle the stress other than by smoking. It may take more than a year to quit smoking completely, even when you are motivated.
You can find help online.
The following websites may be helpful:
- Smokefree.gov: Information about quitting smoking.
- Quit Guide: Step-by-step guide to quitting.
- Clearing the Air: Quit Smoking Today: Tips and advice on how to start a smoke-free life.
- BeTobaccoFree.gov: Information about the harmful health effects of smoking and tools for quitting.
Treatment With Medicine to Help You Quit Smoking
Different ways to stop smoking work for different patients. Some smokers can quit with the help of counseling, while others may need medicines to help them quit.
Nicotine replacement therapy may help you quit smoking.
When you are trying to quit smoking, nicotine replacement therapy may help you with withdrawal symptoms, such as:
- Feeling depressed.
- Feeling nervous.
- Having trouble thinking clearly.
- Having trouble sleeping.
Nicotine replacement products include the following:
- Nicotine inhalers.
- Nicotine gum.
- Nicotine lozenges.
- Nicotine patches.
Talk with your doctor before you start any form of treatment. Nicotine replacement products can cause problems in some people, especially:
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Patients younger than 18 years.
- Patients who have the following conditions:
- Heart disease or an irregular heartbeat.
- High blood pressure not controlled with medicine.
- Esophagitis or peptic ulcer disease.
- Diabetes treated with insulin.
- Depression or asthma treated with prescription medicines.
- Patients who keep smoking, chewing tobacco, or using snuff.
Other medicines may also help you quit smoking.
The following drugs, which do not have nicotine in them, are used to help people quit smoking:
- Varenicline (also called Chantix). Varenicline is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that acts the same way nicotine acts in the brain. In June 2011, the FDA warned that varenicline may increase the risk of heart problems in patients with cardiovascular disease. Other side effects of varenicline include the following:
- Nausea.
- Headaches.
- Problems sleeping.
- Abnormal dreams.
- Gas.
- Upset stomach.
- Constipation.
- Feeling very tired or sleepy.
- Bupropion (also called Zyban). Bupropion is an antidepressant approved by the FDA to help people quit smoking.
- Fluoxetine (also called Prozac). Fluoxetine is an antidepressant and studies have shown that it can help people quit smoking.
These medicines lessen nicotine craving and nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
Fluoxetine causes an increased risk of suicide in adults younger than 25 years. The FDA warns that varenicline and bupropion may cause depression, suicide, and other mental health changes in patients who take them. These changes include:
- Psychosis (not being able to recognize what is real or relate to others).
- Hallucinations (a sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch that the patient believes to be real but is not real).
- Paranoia (an extreme fear or distrust of others).
- Depression.
- Mood changes.
- Delusions (believing something that is not true).
- Hostility (having or showing unfriendly feelings).
- Agitation (inability to relax or be still).
- Anxiety (feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness that may be a reaction to stress).
- Panic (sudden extreme anxiety or fear that may cause irrational thoughts or actions).
- Suicidal thoughts and attempted suicide.
These mental health changes may occur in patients with or without a history of psychiatric illness and it is not known if nicotine withdrawal is a part of this. (See the Depression and Suicide section in the PDQ summary on Pediatric Supportive Care.)
All patients taking these medicines, especially those with a history of psychiatric illness, should be followed closely by a doctor.
The FDA recommends that the important health benefits of quitting smoking be weighed against the small but serious risk of problems with the use of these drugs.

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one method of treating symptoms is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about how well new ways to treat symptoms of cancer work. The trials also study side effects of treatment and problems that come up during or after treatment. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Speaker of the National Assembly Anne Makinda has called on legislators to maintain discipline, saying uncalled for interruptions damage the House's image.
She sounded the warning yesterday when inviting Dole member of Parliament Sylvester Mabumba (CCM) to chair the mid-morning session. She said some MPs had been making regular uncalled for interruptions when another MP was speaking, hence boring viewers who normally make a follow-up on parliamentary activities via television sets.
"I want the chairman to gain some experience; I will leave him to chair the remainder of this session because I have got other commitments. But please cut down on unnecessary interruptions because they are damaging our image to the people," she said.
Elaborating, she said currently, the House's image to the society was not good because some MPs had been speaking out of turn and without following regulations.
She claimed to have received a lot of phone calls and short messages from people complaining about some misconducts by some MPs in the House.
She said she was spending a lot of time to deal with interventions, which consumed time and reduced the number of MPs who would otherwise, get the chance to contribute to the budget speech.
"We need to grow up, there is no reason for us to lose the respect of the people. We need to change and maintain our image to the voters," she said.
Contributing to the government budget for the 2011/2012 financial year, Mtera Member of Parliament Livingstone Lusinde (CCM) said the government should find an alternative way to reduce traffic congestions in Dar es Salaam city.
He said the only way to reduce congestions in the city was for leaders to shift to Dodoma. He said some leaders staying in Dar es Salaam did not even work properly as they spent most of their time in traffic jams.
"If we don't solve this problem we are not going to succeed in implementing our development plans, because people spend most of their time in traffic queues," he said.
He advised the government to stop using the images of animals on banknotes and instead use the pictures of former government leaders as a way of honouring them. He said that Tanzania cannot advertise its tourist attractions through banknotes, but can do so through media outlets.
Lusinde said the government should continue using the pictures of late presidents and founders of the nation, Julius Kambarage Nyerere and Sheikh Abeid Amani Karume.
Ilemela MP Highness Kiwia (CHADEMA) said the government should do all it takes to fight corruption. He said with corruption, the government was likely to fail in implementing some of its development projects.
"Corruption is very bad, you cannot even compare it with a war," he said. Kiwia also called on the Minister for Energy and Minerals to speed up processes for new power projects. He said Tanzanians were tired of hearing about government plans, saying all they wanted was electricity.

Greg Ehnes, the owner of Springs Transmissions and Automotive, has been arrested on felony charges for theft and crimes committed against at-risk adults, Colorado Springs police confirm Thursday.
11 News first learned of Ehnes' arrest Wednesday, the day he was taken into custody, but police were not immediately forthcoming with information regarding his arrest.
11 Call for Action reporter Betty Sexton has been investigating Springs Transmissions and Automotive for months after getting reports of shoddy work and even theft from customers.
Last month, police searched the business and announced they knew of at least 22 victims. Officers told us at that time they wanted others to come forward, and that they suspected there could be upwards of 50 victims.
Deceptive business practices, car theft, motor vehicle repair violations and fraud were among the customer complaints police reported hearing.
11 News spoke with Ehnes while police were investigation. He said he was innocent, and that the fraud allegations against him were completely untrue.
"I'm very frustrated. If I do something wrong, just be straight. They're trying to frame me," Ehnes said at the time.
Ehnes admitted that some cars worked on in his shop were not properly fixed, but he says he fired the mechanics responsible and hired new help.
Police ask that anyone with complaints against Springs Transmissions and Automotive call CSPD at 444-7000.

Elisha Cuthbert: Petite Powerhouse
In 2004, Elisha Cuthbert was The Girl Next Door that we all wished we had, a porn star with a soft spot for nerds. Today she's still giving us Happy Endings, as Alex on the ABC sitcom. The twenty-eight year old Canadian actress is only 5'2" tall and her IMDb resume of small and big screen roles is as long as she is. Her credits include 24, Old School, and House of Wax. The sexy blonde was also named number sixty-five on Maxim's Hot 100 for 2011. Her hot gallery below proves why she deserves that honor.

This article is not the way to tell if you're pregnant.
In fact, I strongly suspect that more people who read this article will NOT be pregnant than those who will be. You can certainly use this article to review some common symptoms of early pregnancy, but what it's really here for is to talk you off the ledge if you're driving yourself crazy with lists of pregnancy symptoms or the feeling that every teeny different thing about your body today is a clear sign that you're pregnant.
The internet is a fantastic place of infinite wonder, but when you're freaking out thinking you might be pregnant, sometimes a lot of information is too much information, and the Internet is not our friend. People worried they're pregnant can wind up freaked out by the 'net the way people have freaked out over the Merck Manual in days of yore. We have one or two symptoms or changes in our bodies, and we flip through a bunch of medical pages only to feel we've discovered that the upset stomach we have today clearly is not nerves or a common flu bug, but some terrible, fatal disease and we're in our final hours of life. Not likely, but it can be easy to feel that way, especially if you're feeling terrified to begin with.
As well, online we can sometimes find anecdotal stories of every reliable birth control method under the sun failing, even in perfect use, even with more than one method used, even though we know, from long-term, reliable study, that while that does indeed happen to people every year, it is not as common as those stories would lead us to believe.
The vast, vast majority of the time, when people become pregnant, it is via vaginal intercourse and either because a reliable method of birth control was not used at all or was used inconsistently or improperly. Some of the people posting those stories may well be those who did have failures with perfect use, but most will be people who really didn't, and are either not being truthful because they feel guilty, upset or ashamed about misuing a method (or not using any at all), or because they just didn't understand what perfect use was for their method.
Some people also don't realize that pregnancy can happen through more than just whatever they consider "full" vaginal intercourse, even though vaginal intercourse is, by far, the way most pregnancies occur. For example, a couple who uses condoms perfectly for vaginal intercourse may have gone without them for anal sex, and had a pregnancy occur due to semen running down to the vulva, or maybe did a lot of unprotected, direct genital-to-genital rubbing they didn't "count" as intercourse which resulted in a pregnancy.
In other words: if you have been using one, or more than one, reliable method of birth control properly all of the times you needed one, pregnancy is unlikely. Even if you threw up this morning, or suddenly felt like a gumdrop and peanut butter sandwich sounded totally delicious.
Our Bodies, Ourselves shares this concise list of some common changes in the body pregnant people may experience:
When we say "early symptoms," we're usually talking about symptoms in the first couple months of pregnancy, not in the first few days or even the first few weeks. For most, the first symptom of pregnancy they experience is a missed period. For some, that's the ONLY noticeable sign of early pregnancy, even a month or two into a pregnancy.
Pregnancy is not instantaneous, but a lot of people don't know that. In other words, we don't have sex, then minutes, hours, or even a couple days later -- KAPOW! -- wind up totally pregnant and start experiencing all of these symptoms. It takes around a week or so to get from sex to fertilization to implantation (to conception: when a fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine wall, and we then have an actual pregnancy), and most symptoms don't tend to occur until at least then, and often later than that for many people. You can rest assured that even if you are having all of these symptoms the day after you have had sex, they are not because of pregnancy from that sex.
We've said it once, we've said it a thousand times, but let's make it 1,001: symptoms alone are not a good way to determine a pregnancy. Because so many of the common symptoms of early pregnancy could be due to many different things, and also because many people don't have early symptoms, symptoms all by themselves just aren't reliable.
A pregnancy test -- either a home test, or a test from your healthcare provider -- is the only truly reliable way to find out if you're pregnant or not. If you're concerned you may be pregnant, the best thing to do is to get that test when it's time for one -- you can do that as soon as around two weeks after any sex which may have put you at risk -- and not make yourself nuts scouring the web for symptoms and worrying that every little bit of nausea, every time you pee a little more than usual is all because you're pregnant.
So you can see what I'm talking about, let's go back to that list of symptoms. Besides pregnancy, here are some other reasons a person may be experiencing any of them.
You'll notice that a person may have most of these symptoms and be just as likely to simply be in puberty as it's likely they are pregnant. A person may have a handful of early pregnancy symptoms and just be under stress, have a flu, not be eating right or be experiencing the symptoms many people get before their periods begin. Some of these symptoms can even be caused by the stress of a pregnancy scare itself: it's normal to feel emotional, nauseated, tired and to have eating habits change when you're freaked out about a possible pregnancy.
With all of these symptoms, there are so many other things that could be causing them that it just doesn't make sense to get fixated on any or even all of them being about pregnancy.
Some young people worry that they may be pregnant even when they have or seem to have normal periods. That's pretty unlikely. If it looks like a period, acts like a period, and comes when you expect your period, it probably is a period, and it is not likely you are pregnant. As well, many young people, especially those not trying to become pregnant, don't chart their periods to know when to expect them, and expect periods to show up around the same date every month, even though regular periods won't tend to do that. To find out about how to figure out if your period is really late, click here. Too, many young people have irregular periods to begin with, or use birth control methods like Depo-Provera which can suppress periods, so have no idea when a period should be coming.
We do know that around 25% of people do or have experienced some vaginal bleeding even when pregnant, which can confuse all of this a bit, and seems to result in panic for some. (Do recognize that around 75% of women do NOT have that bleeding, so getting your period really is a pretty reliable way to know you're not pregnant. Really.) That's not a period, but it can be some other things. Some folks, for instance, will have lighter spotting around the time they expect their periods which may be due to an egg implanting itself in the uterine wall: that implantation bleeding, however, is not particularly common, and often something some will still not notice who do have it. It also will not tend to be like your usual periods, even though if it happens, it can appear around the time you might expect a period. That kind of bleeding tends to only last a day or two and is very light, a lot like breakthrough bleeding while using hormonal contraceptives.
Some other people experience something called decidual (decidua is the term for the uterine lining during pregnancy) bleeding with or throughout pregnancy, which is thought to be caused by hormonal imbalances and changes. Some can confuse decidual bleeding with having periods during pregnancy.
Again, this leads us back to just getting and taking that pregnancy test when it's been around two weeks after you may have had a risk, and recognizing that until you can take a test, you're unlikely to have any symptoms, and freaking out over them isn't likely to help you out.
I understand that it's not always simple to just go and get a pregnancy test. Some young people are worried they will be discovered buying or using home pregnancy tests, or that if they see a healthcare provider for a test, their parents or neighbors will be told. Know that in most areas, when it comes to tests via your doctor or clinic, your privacy is protected when it comes to your sexual healthcare. While, if you're using family insurance in countries without national healthcare, your visit may show up on a bill, so that's an issue where your privacy may be breached, you can counter that by paying cash for your visit, or can use a clinic like Planned Parenthood separate from your regular healthcare.
If you'd prefer to take a home test but are worried about someone working or shopping at your pharmacy finding out, here are a few creative ways to avoid that:
I also understand that sometimes, even when a person can get a test without any problems, you can feel like you don't want to take one because you just do not want to know the answer, especially if it's one you don't want. I once had a friend ask if I'd read her Tarot cards to find out if she was pregnant or not, and when I suggested that I thought a pregnancy test would be a better way to do that, she made clear she just wasn't ready for that concrete an answer yet. (For the record, the reading did not suggest she was pregnant, even though she was, so either that is as unreliable as I suspected, or I'm a crap Tarot reader. Probably both.)
You don't have to test for pregnancy on the first day you can probably get a reliable result if you don't feel ready for it. Just bear in mind that it is pretty important to find out as soon as you can if you're pregnant, for a few smart reasons. All three of the options available to you with a pregnancy -- abortion, adoption or parenting -- do have their own timetables. Abortion is not only not available through all of a pregnancy, it gets more expensive and tougher the further into a pregnancy a woman is. If you plan on remaining pregnant and giving birth, whether that's about adoption or parenting yourself, both your health and that of a fetus can be impacted if you don't get good pre-natal care, and don't start to adapt your life and your habits as you need to for a healthy pregnancy and delivery, and/or to become ready for parenting. And if you're not pregnant at all, extending that period of not knowing can seriously stress you out and keep you miserable when you just don't have to be. No matter what, a test also doesn't change reality: you are or are not pregnant, with or without the test to verify what the deal is. If you're pregnant, avoiding a test for a long time won't make you un-pregnant, it just will likely make dealing with your pregnancy tougher on you.
Scarleteen users who fear they may be pregnant often ask us, "Should I worry?" The answer to that one from us is always going to be no.
Worrying just doesn't do anything: we can't worry away a pregnancy, after all. What worrying does is amp up our levels of stress, make us feel physically and emotionally worse, and also tends to leave us less able to think clearly and manage a crisis if there is one to manage. Of course, "Just chill out," is hardly sage advice when you're concerned about something that is absolutely a huge deal, and mighty hard to be chill about, but whatever you can do to try and stay calm and relax at least a little bit is going to help you out whether you are pregnant or not. Young people tend to carry a lot of stress, and stress just isn't good for you, nor does it help us cope with the tough stuff: in fact, it makes coping a lot tougher.
So, if you are in the midst of a pregnancy scare, do be sure to take care of yourself as best you can. Get enough sleep, keep eating well, and do what you normally do to manage stress. That might be taking a long walk with the dog at night, having a bath, writing in your journal, hanging out with friends, deep breathing, talking to a counselor, painting your toenails, working out, whatever you know helps you recenter and calm yourself down.
If you do have a couple early pregnancy symptoms in the list, by all means, see your healthcare provider soon if they stick around, because you could be pregnant, but also because you could have another health issue that needs tending to.
If you find you're freaking out about pregnancy a lot, take a look at that to evaluate what's best for you. If that's because you're often having sex without birth control when you need it, you can change your habits so that you DO always use birth control when you need it, or only choose partners who cooperate when it comes to use of birth control and safer sex. If you are already using one reliable method of birth control with sex, but are still worried, you may want to back up your existing method with another sound method. And if you're doing all of that and still freaking out, then you might want to check in with yourself to see if right now being sexually active -- or active in the way you are, or with the particular partner you're with -- is really in your best interest. Any of us, at any age, may have times when sexual partnership just isn't right for us, or offers us more bummers than the good parts, and it's always okay to take a break from sex if we need one.
Lastly, for the love of Pete, do step away from the internet and it's dizzying array of symptoms and freakouts. Yep, even from this very site. We love you, but... go away. Seriously, get gone now. Go take a break, get a breather, test if you need to, and if it's too early or you can't get a test just yet, do something much better for you than swimming in your own panic and a bunch of medical terminology that'd make anyone feel like throwing up.
