Has GM's Deal With Manchester United Lost Its Kick?
General Motors' (NYSE:GM) decision to pull the Chevrolet brand from Europe might be somewhat problematic for GM's sponsorship of Manchester United (NYSE:MANU) after the automaker announced in 2012 that it would be spending $559 million over seven years for the rights to stick the Chevy bow tie badge on the jerseys of Manchester United's soccer players. However, GM is now planning to have largely removed Chevy from the region by next year — effectively making the arrangement with Manchester an empty sponsorship.
"Understand what this sponsorship deal is all about — it's eyeballs. They're leaving a big patch of geography with lots of eyeballs so the economic value has to go down," said Gary Fechter, who is an attorney who has represented companies in sponsorship deals for 35 years, but is not involved in GM's deals, told Reuters. General Motors is pulling the Chevy-brand vehicles in the region to better focus on the Opel and Vauxhall nameplates, both of which have been struggling along with the near-stagnant European auto market.
However, Jim Andrews, who is the senior vice president with an IEG unit that tracks sponsorships, said that the deal still holds promise for GM in emerging markets, where Manchester United is popular; however, "the value took a hit with the exit from Europe," Reuters reported. "I would not classify it as a bad deal, but if you could rewind the clock, knowing that you're not going to be marketing the Chevy brand in Europe, would you do this deal at that price?" He told Reuters. "I think the answer is clearly no."

Sales Up As Californian Resort Bucks Trends (23-Apr-09)
Mountain High, California, April 23, 2009 - Californian resort Mountain High has bucked the credit crunch
Californian resort Mountain High has bucked the credit crunch trend and announced increased business for the 12th successive year, partially crediting local skiers axing destination trips and skiing locally for its success.
Mountain High saw ticket reservations reach an all time high and private lessons grew another 8% over a 31% jump the previous year, leading resort officials to conclude that avid skiers and snowboarders will participate even in poor economic times.
Said Mountain High President and CEO, Karl Kapuscinski, "Of the 12 years I have been at Mountain High, this is the one I am most proud of. With all the external challenges, the team here did an unbelievable job."
The resort opened on December 6th, nearly a month late and without a single drop of natural snow. Snowmaking improvements paid off though and, once the temperature dropped, the resort was quickly up and running with the region's first top-to-bottom trails and a budding terrain park. Winter storms arrived shortly thereafter, leaving four feet of natural snow and catapulting Mountain High to full operation just prior to the all-important Christmas holiday.
The combination of pent up demand and waist-deep powder generated a huge increase in visits and departments across the board experienced record yields for the month. Areas such as Food & Beverage which were recently expanded ended up six percent for the year.
"It wasn't uncommon for guests to spend $800 to $900 over a 3-day weekend which, to most consumers, sounds like a lot of money but for a family of four who traditionally spends thousands on a week-long trip out of state, it was a bargain. In addition to its "Ride Closer" marketing campaign, Mountain High accentuated the on-hill experience with increased snowmaking, its famed terrain park, and a new customer service department to impress guests with daily goodies and personal attention." Said a company statement.
Tubing attendance was up nearly 10% and season pass sales complete the "stay local" picture with a whopping 20% increase over last year.
Mountain High's operators are now looking to further enhance their facilities and more than $1 million has been set aside for capital improvements.

Midweek Wintry Mess: A Recap
By Jason Pelletier on March 2, 2012, 8:50pm
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories.
This week's return to winter normalcy brought with it a variety of conditions throughout the state. The northwest and northeast sections of the state seemingly hit the jackpot in terms of snowfall amounts ranging anywhere upwards of 5+ inches. Southern portions of the state received little to no accumulations and ended up with mainly a rain event for most of Wednesday's portion of the storm.
Here in Harwinton we managed to get up to 5 inches with potentially higher amounts north and west into the Litchfield Hills. The snow started around 11:30am as predicted and picked up in intensity throughout the afternoon ending by 5:30pm. After this a round of freezing rain continued to fall and created slippery conditions on most of the secondary roads in the hardest hit areas. Luckily by Thursday morning temperatures had risen above freezing and most of the state's major highways were cleared for rush hour. Snow continued to fall later in the day with an inch of additional accumulation at most.
Winter Weather Advisories have been listed for counties in Northern Connecticut with snow, sleet, and freezing rain expected to fall during the overnight hours into Saturday morning.

After three years in a nondescript shopping center on Piedmont Road just south of Buckhead, Sheik Burritos n Kabobs will close its doors on December 23. Owner Jahan Ostad said Sheik is by no means going out of business—he plans to reopen in a larger location in Midtown or Poncey-Highlands in spring of 2013.
The upcoming closure is a result of the shopping plaza being under contract with developer Archstone. The deal is scheduled to close at the end of this year. If it goes through, the plaza, including the Sheik Burritos unit, Pots 'N Pans restaurant and Taco Cabana, will be demolished and turned into apartments with possible retail space underneath. Ostad said Archstone posted "Now leasing for 2014" signs and announced plans to break ground in the second quarter of 2013.
To celebrate Sheik's temporary close, the restaurant is hosting a "3 Year Going Away Party" on December 16 from 2 p.m. until dark, weather permitting. This free event will feature King of Pops, live rock 'n' roll by the Sheik Allegiance Band (a group of regulars playing covers), a burrito-eating competition, and several "very special guests," Ostad says. The burrito-eating competition costs $20 to enter but is free for those who eat at least three burritos. SweetWater beer may be provided as well.
Ostad says he sees the restaurant's impending closure as a positive thing. "We've been stifled in our current location without the proper space to grow," he says. "It's bittersweet because of the fond memories we have here, but we welcome the closing of this chapter and look forward to the future."
Sheik lovers fear not: the Persian-Southwestern burritos may just make an appearance at festivals or pop-ups, come New Year's. Ostad is busy working on revamping the menu, and he has high hopes for expansion. "Four restaurants in four years in Atlanta, then nationwide—100 units!" he exclaims.

The state Charter School Commission released a series of reports Monday indicating that only six of 19 charter school applications statewide -- including two in Tacoma -- were deemed ready to roll in the next year or two.
The six applications that earned positive reports from expert teams hired by the commission include two from experienced California charter operators that want to launch charter schools in Tacoma in fall 2015.
Two other Tacoma-area applicants did not win endorsements.
Applications recommended for approval include Summit Public Schools, which currently operates six charter schools in the San Francisco Bay area. Summit submitted two applications to open two charter high schools, one in Seattle and another in Tacoma. Both got a thumbs-up from the review panel.
An expert panel also recommended approval for Los-Angeles-based Green Dot Public Schools, which runs 14 high schools and five middle schools. Green Dot wants to open a middle school in Tacoma.
The expert panels looked at educational, financial, management and governance plans laid out by each applicant.
The state commission is scheduled to meet Thursday in Seattle to weigh the merits of each application and make its final recommendations for approval.
Commission Chairman Steve Sundquist said in a news release that Monday's recommendations "do not necessarily reflect which charter operators will be approved."
The commission's Thursday recommendations will be reviewed by the state Board of Education to ensure applicants are in complete compliance with applicable regulations, said commission director Joshua Halsey.
No more than eight of the independent publicly funded schools can open in a given year. The law permits a total of 40 charter schools statewide over five years.
Two other charter proposals from Washington state-based groups had also targeted Pierce County. Experts recommended that both be denied.
One, called The Village Academy, comes from a nonprofit organization called The Ducere Group. It was founded by Calyn Holdaway, a Gig Harbor military mom of special-needs kids who wants to start a school to serve both special-needs students and others.
She said that the application process was rigorous and that the time frame to complete it was tight. But she said she plans to keep fine-tuning her plan and will re-submit it to the commission in June.
"We will not quit until we have a charter approval," Holdaway told a News Tribune reporter Monday.
A proposed Tacoma charter called SOAR Academy was submitted by a former Seattle school principal, Kristina Bellamy-McClain. She had been selected for a one-year fellowship by the Washington State Charter Schools Association, which offered guidance in the development of charter school applications.
SOAR did not win a recommendation Monday, and Bellamy-McClain was not available for comment.

Veeraswamy has so much history around it, so to finally visit was exciting! However once inside, there was a distinct lack of atmosphere and the staff did not seem overly enthusiastic, as I would expect of someone working in such a well known prestigious establishment.
It seems that Veeraswamy is coasting on its history but it seems to do little to emanate its charm. The food IS good, but I dont think its good enough to subsidise the average interior and service. The prices are quite high, so you expect more 'bang for your buck' and you dont feel you get it. Thank goodness that I was taken out for a work dinner so the bill was not an issue, otherwise my review may have been a little more disgruntled! I am glad I have vistied but I probably will not return unless I hear of a massive revamp. I hope it stays open as it would be shame to lose this indian instituion of London, however I dont see it lasting in the current fashion.

Wreckateer Review
Review By Jickle @ 01:59pm 09/08/12
Wreckateer is, basically, a Kinect Crush the Castle/Angry Birds amalgamation, going so far as to fill its levels with green goblins who bare an uncanny resemblance to the pigs from Rovio's megahit. That's going to be enough to turn some people off immediately, but it shouldn't – Angry Birds didn't shift such insane numbers just to spite the industry, but because it offered a ton of fun and addictive content for very little money. Wreckateer isn't nearly as cheap as Angry Birds, nor is it as addictive…but it has managed to get the 'fun' part more or less right.
The set-up is familiar – there's a bunch of castles and castle-esque buildings that need to be smashed, because they're full of goblins. You use motion controls to fire at said castles with a catapult, loading up the shots, pulling them back, aiming and releasing with fairly intuitive actions. There are numerous different shots to fire, all with different functions, and the aim is to cause as much family-friendly destruction and death as possible. The differences between the numerous shots mean that you'll need to use them strategically, knowing which shots to aim where and when and how to deploy their special powers to bring down as many structures as possible. All of them have different functions once they're in the air – standard shots can be shifted by simply waving your hands over them, while fancier shots need to be 'activated' with poses, or controlled in other ways. By far the most fun shots are the 'Split Shots', which break into four balls that stay within the area between your on-screen hands. You can stretch them out, rotate them, do whatever suits the situation with simple hand movements. It's these shots that best exemplify why a game like this is well suited to the Kinect.
There is, sadly, still a degree of novelty to playing a Kinect game that actually works most of the time. Wreckateer manages to elicit that 'oh wow, the controls actually sort of work' reaction that so many of the Kinect's better games do, although it's far from perfect. While plenty of Kinect games ask you to clear a fair bit of space, Wreckateer really is probably best played in, say, an open field. It requires a lot of space to really work properly, and hitting the absolute limits of the room you're in while trying to adjust a shot is frustrating.
For some this won't be a problem, but the finicky detection of a few other movements might be. Quite often the game completely misread our actions when both lining up a shot and adjusting its trajectory in the air. The flying shots that you can directly control with your arms are particularly frustrating; occasionally our frentic tilting was completely ignored and the shots missed everything completely.
This would all be far more frustrating if Wreckateer was the sort of game you were likely to take seriously. The fact that the high score tables don't have the same addictive hold as its bird-heavy brethren actually works in the game's favour – we were happy to smash up a building, be awarded with a gold or silver medal, and move on. The true competition is in the multiplayer, not the leaderboards. The Kinect has become an increasingly worthwhile addition to games nights, and Wreckateer is well worth a quick boozy whirl with friends.
Wreckateer is, surprisingly, the best of the first three 'Winter of Arcade' releases. It's not a particularly ambitious or exciting game, but it meets its own fairly modest goals with only a few hiccups, and shows that full body motion controls can be fun, even when they don't always work the way you'd like them to.

The Waukesha Police Department has arrested three people in connection to two November pharmacy robberies.
A 23-year-old Waukesha man, who is on probation for burglaries, is believed to be the armed robber. A 24-year-old Waukesha woman, who is on bail for drug offenses and a burglary charge, is suspected to be the getaway driver.
Police believe a 26-year-old Waukesha man convicted in a string of armed pharmacy robberies in 2011 was the ringleader in the most recent robberies. He also is on probation.
All three are in custody, but charges have not yet been referred to the Waukesha County District Attorney's office. Charges are expect at the end of this week or next week. Patch is not identifying the suspects until they are formally charged.
The 23-year-old man faces a possible two counts of armed robbery and the other two face a possible charge of two counts of armed robbery as a party to the crime.
A man displayed a handgun and robbed Walgreens, 221 E. Sunset Drive, of 20 oxycodone pills at 4:09 p.m. Nov. 18, according to the Waukesha Police Department's call log.
The robbery occurred while about two dozen people were in the store but no one was injured. The man asked for all of the oxycodone in the store.
Police were called to the 501 S. Grand Ave., at 1:46 p.m. Nov. 26 for a report of a man robbing the store of oxycodone pills. The man, who had his face covered, told an employee he had a gun in his pocket. The clerk didn't see a gun but noticed the man did have something in his pocket
The 26-year-old convicted robber also faces having his 10-year probation sentence revoked. If probation is revoked, he will be sentenced to five years in prison on the past robberies.

"Let's be honest: This is a title run. I've kind of always been that way, where I'd rather run myself into a brick wall and fail at the attempt than keep running my mouth. Let's face facts, guys: I'm a good mouth runner. I can talk about anything at any time I want. But the real guys will talk about it and then go out and do it. I don't have much time left. I'm 37 years old and I'm only going to be around four, five more years. (The sport is) going to develop too much around me. No matter what I'm going to do, I'm not going to be able to develop. Age and wisdom can only take you so far before age catches up to you. I want to go up at least having made the attempt of being one of the best guys out there.... I still get nervous. I throw up and have diarrhea the day of the fight. Typical stuff. Everybody kind of goes through this. If you don't get a little nervous, if you don't get butterflies, then what the hell? Why are you even doing it? For me, it's still fun. It's a fun process. I'm an adrenaline junkie. It's pretty cool for me to have that feeling because now I know I'm back in front of the limelight again."
-- After more than four years away from the Octagon, former number one welterweight contender, Frank Trigg, tells Yahoo!Sports.com that he's ready to give it one more shot before he puts a ribbon on his mixed martial arts career. The 37-year-old fighter made his professional debut back in 1997 and worked his way up the ranks to earn two world title shots opposite Matt Hughes. He came up empty on both attempts, losing via rear naked choke at UFC 45: "Revolution" and then again at UFC 52: "Couture vs Liddell 2." His road back to the top of the heap begins in less that two weeks when he takes on perennial division threat, Josh Koscheck, at UFC 103: "Franklin vs. Belfort" on Sept. 19. Will the third time be the charm for "Twinkle Toes?"

MIAMI, (UPI) — U.S. fast-food giant Burger King, banking on an unusual taste combo to bolster its summertime revenues, announced Tuesday the availability of bacon sundaes.
Burger King said in a release the decision was made to offer the pork-enhanced soft-serve dessert nationwide for a limited time after it "took Nashville by storm earlier this year."
Bacon sundaes include vanilla soft serve with chocolate fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a thick-cut, hardwood-smoked bacon garnish.
The release didn't say how many calories per serving, which start at a recommended price of $2.49.

Looking for ICANRI Approved Gentle Cesarean Providers? Click Here!
Gentle Cesarean was pioneered in Rhode Island at Memorial Hospital by Dr. Susanna Magee and Dr. John Morton in 2009. It's inception was driven by families who wanted the birth of their babies to be just as special and respectful as babies who were able to be born vaginally. Since they began offering this groundbreaking technique, they have helped numerous families experience the compassionate gentle birth experience they desired.
Because Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island is a teaching hospital, residents there learn how to perform a Gentle Cesarean, what the standard of care should be in the operating room, and are bringing that information with them to hospitals all over the country. The definition of Gentle Cesarean at Memorial Hospital is...
- Immediate skin-to-skin contact with minimal separation
- Birth Visualization through maternal propping
- Calm environment
- No extraneous noise or unrelated conversation by the medical staff
- Delayed cord clamping
- Presence of multiple support staff for mom and her birth partner
- Breastfeeding in the operating room, if the mom desires
This process of skin to skin contact in the operating room is important
for mother-infant bonding, prevention of post partum depression,
breastfeeding initiation and success, and overall experience for a
family when birth must take place in the operative setting. There are several instances where a cesarean birth is medically indicated, and in a non-emergent situation, Gentle Cesarean is a wonderful option. All medical staff at Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island have been specially trained by Dr. Kate McCleary and are therefore able to safely, respectfully and compassionately perform Gentle Cesarean.

We all take pictures on our smartphones right? What if you could turn your photos into cash?
Now you can thanks to some new websites that sell your pictures to advertisers and marketers who need stock photos.
We asked tech guru Bill Greenleaf to check out some of the new sites that connect amateur photographers with buyers.
"You just have to use your imagination and I'm sure this will probably explode," said Greenleaf.
SupShot, Rawporter and Scoopshot connect you with companies that need stock images for advertising and other commercial uses.
Greenleaf says the average listing was between $5 and $20 dollars but he's seen some as much as $200. How do the sites make money? They take a 20-30% cut of the sale.
"It didn't cost nothing to set up the account. Post a few pictures up there, go through your albums and maybe you'll get lucky."
"A word of caution, make sure any subject in the photo is OK with you selling it. And don't upload any photo that's copyrighted."
So how do you up your chances of getting sold?
"Go out there and see what the competition is doing if you're looking at it in a competitive way there and see what they're taking picture of," said Greenleaf.
And some sites like Rawporter offer assignments like following a celebrity who is coming to your town.
"And obviously they know where those celebrities are so they'll know based on your location whether or not you know you'll be able to except that assignment. Somebody coming to concert, that would be an opportunity for you, you know."
Greenleaf says the payment methods are done through PayPal which is good because you don't have enter your bank account number.
Get the picture?
Look, your chances of making a lot may be slim, but at least there's nothing to lose.

I had this genius idea (or so I thought). I love caramel apples, but dislike two things:
1. slobbering when I eat them
2. running out of caramel and just having the apple left once the outside is gone
I decided the best idea would be to cut it first, and put caramel over it after!
It was a bit messy, and probably not the best solution...but it was a pretty decent attempt!
If you haven't done caramel apples, you just need the square caramels and a smidgen of milk.
Cut the apple with the apple cutter
Microwave, dip in caramel and enjoy!
I thought it turned out delicious. Even though the photo above looks whole, its sliced up. That way I was ready to pull pieces off right away. One of them I even poured melted chocolate over afterwards....it was heavenly
Just don't burn the caramel.....it turns out like this:

The Senate passed a bill 38-6 on Wednesday, while the House measure was approved on an 82-14 vote.
The sponsor of the House measure, Rep. Skye McNiel, says the bill would allow a horse slaughtering plant to open in the state and provide a humane option for unwanted, aging horses. The Bristow Republican says the sale of horse meat for consumption in the United States would still be banned, but that it could be sent overseas.
Opponents say a slaughtering plant is no humane way to dispose of a horse and that the bills are being fast-tracked through the Legislature before opposition mounts.

Tonight we're happy to introduce you to Judy_Filarecki. She's our "Gluten Free" Contributor on Squidoo.
Tell us a little bit about your niche topic.
I've always been interested in health and fitness and have been in a constant search for alternative methods to improve my health. I've tried every diet you can think of until I discovered that simply eliminating wheat from my diet was the answer to my search. Becoming completely gluten free and almost grain free has totally improved my health, energy and weight. It is a lifestyle I can live with forever and I have been sharing my experiences with the change through a journal here on Squidoo. I also have recipes I have shared and plan on reviewing cookbooks that are gluten free as well as present links to research article I find of value.
Tell us about the moment you fell in love with your topic. Was it an immediate thing or did it happen over time?
January 7, 2013 was the day I started going completely wheat free and mostly grain free. I had decided to give it a try for 30 days, but within 2 days I started feeling wonderful changes that encouraged me to go on. At the end of a month, I was feeling so great, I decided to go for another month. When I had blood work done six weeks after starting, there were such massive improvements in inflammatory levels, and moderate improvements in sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides that even the doctor was amazed. Today I continue with no plans on ever going back to wheat. I make great recipes, play tennis 4 times a week, started singing with a large chorus after not being able to sing for four years because of inflammation of the vocal chords. I am finally listening to what my body has been trying to tell me for years.
Who had the most influence in your life?
Dr. William Davis, author of the "Wheat Belly Cookbook," has been my guide through this wonderful lifestyle change. I thank him every day and hope I can share what I have found with others so he can help them, also.

PEARL, MS (WLBT) - Interested in shaving 50 to 60 percent off your grocery bills? A mother of three and founder of SouthernSavers.com spoke to a standing room only crowd in Pearl on how to buy more and spend less.
"We saved $400 for the same amount of groceries every month," said Jenny Martin, founder of Southernsavers.com.
She's discovered a way to never pay retail price for food and she was sharing it. First, throw out your old shopping list.
"When you make that list you are really making a massive list of what's not on sale today in the grocery store. We have to focus on those sales and the goal is to buy the best price," said Martin.
Grocery stores like Kroger fluctuate on a six week cycle and once during each cycle the price will hit rock bottom. Focus on items that are 40% off or more.
Next, learn to stock up. "So when you walk in and see that really great price buy enough of it to last you the next six weeks. Because if you don't two weeks from now when you run out you're purchasing at retail," said Martin.
You can save even more by clipping coupons or finding them online. "When I do that some things are free just by pairing that really great sale with the coupon that you have," said Martin.
Carrie Barksdale has been using Martin's methods and it is literally paying off. "Why spend a dollar on something when you can spend 25 cents?" asked Barksdale showing off a Kroger receipt. "I saved $55.57 that's a savings of 80%."
She's sharing that savvy shopping style with her nine year old daughter and using the money saved to help those in need.
"This is a really good practical way for anyone to be able to give because we all go to the grocery store," said Barksdale.
Martin has done all the homework for you to find the lowest prices in the six week cycle. Go to www.southernsavers.com.

Can baclofen help depression?
Has anyone experienced any sustained sense of emotional stability and wellbeing, or relief of depression/dysphoria, due to regular high-dose baclofen? Of course the relief of alcohol cravings is itself a very welcome experience for those who have achieved it. However I'm asking if baclofen has long-lasting psychological effects beyond this, especially in people who have already experienced 'the switch' and who are now settling into taking baclofen as a maintenance drug. I do realise that changes in lifestyle and therapy are required to treat emotional issues and depression, so I'm not expecting baclofen to be a magic solution to everything.
I haven't experienced relief from depression (I don't think... I take other meds for depression)... but marked decrease in anxiety for sure!
The Universe stirs up our comfortable nests, and pushes us over the edge of them, forcing us to use out wings...
I was hoping that Baclofen would help with my depressions. That is why I started to get off Bupropion. Now for the first time in many years trying to get off, I noticed I am addicted to it, and can not go down without the help of a psychiatrist!
Once I am off Bupropion I can tell you if Baclofen helps me or not.
In general I feel a lot better, and part is to attribute to Baclofen, the other point is to not drink anymore.
Alcohol is one of the biggest depressant around - if you remove that from your system you will need less anti depressives ....
since 23. Apr 2009 : TSM - failed to reduce units
since 08. Jan 2010 : Naltrexone + Baclofen combination therapy
reborn since 16. Jan 2010 : Alcohol Free (AF) - only taking Baclofen
since 22. May 2010 : Baclofen against anxiety/fear
since 14. Mar 2011 : off Baclofen - taking 25mg Topamax/day
My stats :
Hey, Greg
Baclofen helped me with anxiety, but not depression (which pre-existed before alcoholism).
I realised after about 30 days AF that my depression hadn't shifted. I've been on a variety of ADs and other meds for the past 5 months, with varying degrees of success, having been diagnosed with major depression and ADD.
My latest experience (on Wellbutrin / bupropion) was terrible, though. Once I went up to 300mg, I experienced mood swings, anxiety, aggression, acute insomnia etc. etc. Plus I smoked as much as before... Go figure...
I've now been off all ADs for just over a week.
I'm going to rely purely on psychotherapy & CBT and see how that goes. I've just had enough of meds for now... So far, so good. I'm not closing the door on ADs. My psychiatrist has prescribed Zoloft & Trepiline, which he wanted me to go on after stopping the Wellbutrin. I just feel he's grasping at straws, plus I'm reluctant to go on an SSRI.
If I could, I would have continued on Molipaxin, which is what I started out with. But unfortunately that is not an option...
I'll do whatever it takes
Tip -- for a lot of people with anxiety problems, even if they are also depressed, the SSRIs are completely wrong for them.
I was prescribed multiple SSRIs (and other antidepressants), which made me absolutely manic. My latest psych was shocked that I had been urged by various doctors to continue with these medications -- to "ride out" the side effects. I was hallucinating and couldn't stop moving for one second. Ride it out? As in, ride it until suicide? Anyway, she indicated that people with both anxiety and depression should not go the SSRI route.
Also, I think it is not unusual that depression persists beyond 30 days AF. In fact, I believe it is unusual that depression would lift so early.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
Yes, Greg, I have felt a "sustained sense of emotional stability and wellbeing, or relief of depression" since taking baclofen. Although I still feel anxiety, it has a different quality. And there has been a profound shift in my ability to engage in life that never came when I was sober for 3 years without the baclofen.
Also, I took an anti-depressant for those 3 years, but after a couple of weeks taking L-glutamine I titrated down and off of that medication. Hadn't had a plan to do that, just happened. So I'm a big advocate for L-glute, too.
Don't know where this is going, but so far it's been, well, freakin' miraculous for me. Once again, my ever-loving gratitude to MWO for pointing me toward baclofen and amino acids!
"Wherever you are is the entry point." --Kabir
Given the disappointing number of patients who attain remission from a major depressive episode even after four consecutive treatments and who can maintain that remission over the long run, the paradigm of monotherapy for major depression is rapidly changing to one of multiple simultaneous pharmacological mechanisms, often with two or more therapeutic agents. In this respect, the pattern is following that of the treatment of bipolar disorder, which usually requires administration of more than one agent on mood stabilizers. Rather than have a simple regimen of one antidepressant and a patient who is not in remission, it now seems highly preferable to have a patient in remission without symptoms no matter how many agents this takes.Ask for what Stahl has named "California Rocket Fuel," which is Effexor and Remeron, or one of his other "heroic combos."
Theoretically, baclofen has no direct effect on depression because is entirely selective to the GABA-B receptor. The antidepressants primarily affect the monoamines--serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
A decent psychiatrist should at least be familiar with Stahl's teachings, if not be an outright Stahlinist.
Thank you for your replies. I'm still AF but slogging it out with serious depression every day, especially towards evenings, and I often have a smoke or two (MJ) to keep going. I know this is a seriously bad habit that can lead to another serious addiction. I first experienced major depression over 20 years ago, before I began drinking heavily, and the drinking became a disastrous self-medication method after failure to respond to treatment. Not drinking anymore does reduce some of the depression but it seems to unmask other aspects.
For those interested, here is my experience so far with antidepressants. I was first tried on several tricyclic ADs and was able to handle their side effects, but had no response (apart from transient sedation) despite a long trial of each drug (dothiepin, doxepin, amitryptiline, desipramine, imipramine). I was never prescribed MAOIs. One older drug that did help significantly, and quickly, was mianserin (Tolvon). This old tetracyclic drug worked well with only transient sedation but my doctor at the time moved and I stupidly stopped treatment. When I sought help again it was the start of the SSRI era and I was tried on all of those...in each case the SEs of agitation, anxiety, and insomnia made it impossible for me to keep taking these drugs. I have tried them again more recently with the same side effects. Likewise for Effexor, and a "reversible MAOI" called Aurorix (moclobemide). Serzone proved tolerable but ineffective. When I see another doctor in a couple of weeks I hope to try Remeron, known here as Avanza, as it is almost identical to mianserin/Tolvon. Hopefully therapy may also help this time. Some doctors around here may prescribe two (or more) ADs together and know of Stahl's work but I'd rather stick to one AD until I've exhausted all options. Bupropion is one I still wanted to try but am not so sure now! It amazes me that most of the "new" ADs are recommended and approved for anxiety disorders. I suppose they help anxiety for some people and the doctors have little else to use apart from the benzos. I was once given the neuroleptic drug trifluoperazine/Stelazine but I will never take any drug like that again after some hideous side effects and no benefit.
In the meantime I'm restarting baclofen in the hope that it may at least give some relief, and resistance to my urges to drink again in the evening. I stopped it for several weeks after a bad reaction but increasing it more slowly may help. L-Glutamine has also helped previously. I'm lucky that I don't get strong cravings from seeing others drink or being near drinking places. Urges to drink just come from the old desire to self-medicate.
Thanks again and best wishes to everyone with your battles.
be sure to tell your doctor that you take Baclofen. I read that it can have interactions with tricyclic ADs and benzos.

My stats :
I took Bac previously and I recall after the very first time that I took it, I felt a "mood lift" which was an amazing feeling. My mood seemed to be enhanced a level or two. However, it is short-lived as is the Bac in your system. I believe Bernard is correct in how Bac affects the receptors. It is almost the same feeling I get after I drink my first glass of wine. Then of course, in the long run the AL is a serious depressant.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Bill Blair to learn more about sports dentistry as a career and investigate the injuries that go hand-in-hand with the sport that is famous for dental injury. Dr. Blair has been the dentist for the National Hockey League team the Calgary Flames since 1985. He has also served as president of the Calgary District and Dental Society, President of the Alberta Dental Association, as well as Executive Council Member for the Canadian Dental Association. Currently the President of the NHL Team Dentist Association, Dr. Blair is a consultant in forensic odontology to the chief medical examiner in Alberta, Canada, as well the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Calgary Police Service and Chief Coroner of Saskatchewan, Canada.
Not Your Average Dental OfficeProfessional hockey organizations have several medical personnel on staff to ensure the players remain at their optimum performance level. The medical team includes a dentist who is in attendance at every game, ready to treat players that have suffered a dental injury on the ice.
During the NHL regular season, injuries sustained during a game by either team are treated by the home team's dentist. When the playoffs begin and the teams strategy is under lock and key, the dentist accompanies the medical team on the road to provide direct care. Dr. Blair says, "Everybody keeps their cards closer to their vest as far as injuries are concerned, we don't want the opposition to know our injuries, and they don't want us to know theirs."
How are dental injuries treated during a game, considering most arenas are generally not capable of housing the equipment necessary to perform a restoration, not to mention the player with the injury is determined to get back on the ice? According to Dr. Blair, the first priority is always, "Immediate relief of pain; hockey players are paid to play hockey. It is our job to get them back on the ice as soon and as quickly as possible. The treatment that takes place at the game might be only a temporary fix to get them back in the game and then more involved, more detailed treatment will take place here in the [dental] office after the game or the next day."
Just Another Day at the Office- Treating Dental Injuries in the NHLThe most common injuries Dr. Blair treats during a game are lacerations, closely followed by damage to the maxillary incisiors. Considering no current mandate forces players in the NHL to wear a mouthguard on the ice, these injuries are not surprising.
Perhaps the new breed of young hockey stars entering the NHL are setting the example for mouthguard wear. According to the Academy for Sports Dentistry, "On a national level all states generally mandate mouthguard use in high school football, ice hockey, men's lacrosse, field hockey, and amateur boxing. Different states have mandated mouthguard use for other sports." Entering the professional realm of sporting does not necessarily mean that players forgo wearing a mouthguard because of their new found fame. The 2008 training camp for the Calgary Flames proves that mouthguard wear is on the rise, according to Dr. Blair, "The numbers are higher every year. This year I think we made 55 mouthguards -- that covers all the different players that came in at different levels." The tough guy mentality has been, and always will be, part of a players strategy, but when it comes to mouthguard wear, "The person that does not wear a mouthguard is getting to be in the minority."
The estimated number of teeth lost every year to sports-related injury is alarming. As Dr. Blair points out, "I read a paper not too long ago that said it is estimated that over 5 million teeth are lost a year to sports injury; at all levels, and what you are dealing with, basically is the aesthetic zone." The aesthetic zone is the area of the mouth that is visible when smiling. The "hockey look" characterized by missing and broken teeth, is a reality for many players in the NHL, although that trend seems to be a thing of the past. Dr. Blair is quick to point out that, "In hockey players or in some sports, it's almost a badge of courage to be missing some teeth; but not anymore, things are changing. There are far fewer missing teeth now in hockey players from when I first started, because they have an appreciation of the dentition and the aesthetic; and its not necessarily the badge of courage to be showing as toothless."

With a Revis trade looming, all Buccaneer fans are wondering what we will give up to get him. Let's play a game to see who is the "Best Revis Island Predictor (lame name I know, but I'm crunched for time haha)." The rules of the game are to guess what draft picks and/or players we gave up in the trade for Revis along with the per year number of his contract and how long his contract will be. To break any ties, we will have you guess the time Sander posts the official article saying Revis has been traded. The winner of this glorious title will be crowned shortly following the trade.
To meet the word count, here is a scouting report on Revis prior to him being drafted, "Compares To: ALAN ZEMAITIS-Tampa Bay … Revis might not have the blazing speed to handle the quicker NFL receivers on deep routes, but has the hard-hitting ability to play in the nickel package. He could be more effective as a safety due to his range and natural hands. He also reminds a bit of Charles Woodson (Green Bay) for his ability to make plays in run support.

The people who ran A-1 Quality Services on Dairy Road in Auburndale claimed to be in the septic tank business. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says the real business done behind their gates was much more sinister.
"We executed a search warrant because we heard that the people here were trading dope for guns," said Judd. "What we ended up with was a chop shop. We have stolen vehicles that have been chopped into pieces, we have many televisions – flat-screen televisions -- that have been stolen. The thing that was most frightening to us was when we saw this: Guns, lots of guns."
Judd said his detectives have found nearly 50 guns on the property and said many of them are stolen.
"There are semi-automatic, shotguns, handguns. We have found a suppressor, which in and of itself is illegal," continued Judd.
The owner of the business, 59-year-old Aleta Burgett has been arrested, along with her son Brent Burgett.
Investigators say Brent Burgett is a convicted felon
Deputies also arrested Alexander Bove, whom they describe as an associate.
Judd says at this point in the investigation it appears they were taking stolen property for drugs. He said a small amount of meth was found.
Neighbors say they had a feeling something illegal was going on.
"During the day, it's just calm. But at nighttime, when it turns dark, that's when they start bringing the stuff in," said neighbor Laurie New. "It was boats, it was cars, it was trucks. And they was all like brand new stuff coming in and out of here."
Judd says it will take days for his detectives to process the scene and expect they'll find more stolen property.
But Judd says the good news is the guns they have found are off the streets and out of the hands of the bad guys.
"I can tell you this, these guns will never be used by a felon to commit a crime against a law enforcement officer or anybody else," he added.

Berenike was founded in the 3rd century BC by Pharaoh Ptolemy II (285-246 years BC). Initially, the port was used for shipments of African elephants. The ruler had decided to use these animals in battles against Egypt's enemies, as access to the Indian elephant was cut off, so an independent source from Eastern Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia was needed. The city was also a refuge and place of temporary residence for seafarers, traders and the general public from the remotest corners of the world.

The turnout at the MMP this month was smaller than usual. Most of the short films were entertaining and produced really well. The feature, "Qing Lou Nu", based on Edgar Alan Poe's "Tell Tale Heart" stood out with its crisp production and quality editing. Under the capable direction of Bryan D. Hopkins, the leads, Cindy Chu and Axel Harney put forth a convincing performance even when not aided with dialogue in the script.

T-Birds down Bobcat Hoopsters
Despite a career-high 24 points from sophomore Jasmine Hommes, including 20 in the final half, Montana State couldn't overcome foul trouble and Southern Utah's Hailey Mandelko down the stretch as the Thunderbirds posted an 87-81 win over the Bobcats, Thursday night in Worthington Arena.
Montana State (11-7, 6-3) seemed to have things under control in the first half, opening up a 16-point lead midway through the period following a pair of Jackie Elliott free throws. MSU opened the game connecting on its first six 3-point attempts. Three more charity tosses via Elliott closed out the first stanza as the Bobcats entered intermission with a 46-38 advantage.
"We were in a good flow and knocking down shots in the first half," MSU head coach Tricia Binford said. "In the second half, we lost discipline and got a little rattled."
Montana State held the lead until Mandelko hit a floater from the free throw line with 3:28 remaining to give Southern Utah (12-6, 6-3) its first advantage of the game. After Hommes converted the back end of two free throw attempts, Mandelko hit a triple at the 2:56 mark and the T-Birds never relinquished the lead in the waning moments. Mandleko's third 3-pointer of the night gave SUU a six-point margin with 1:47 left to secure the win.
For the game, Hommes led four Bobcat players in double-digits connecting on 11-of-19 from the field. Also in double-figures were Elliott 17, Ausha Cole 10, and Kayla DeWit 10. Elliott ended with a team-high 10 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season.
In all, sixty-seven free throws were attempted between the two squads, with SUU holding a 20-8 advantage from the line in the final period. MSU's leading scorer Ashley Brumwell fouled out with 3:52 remaining and finished with just seven points. The Hamilton product did match a career-high six assists.
SUU held a sizable 47-35 advantage under the boards, which included 17 offensive rebounds.
Mandelko finished with 22 points, while Carli Moreland posted 19 points and 15 rebounds.
MSU will travel to Montana on Monday night.
Jamar leads Griz in 69-61 win at SUU
Senior Kareem Jamar made the best of his 100th career start, as he scored a game-high 25 points to lead the University of Montana Grizzlies to a 69-61 Big Sky Conference win over the host Southern Utah Thunderbirds Thursday evening in Centrum Arena.
It was by no means an easy victory for Montana, but the Griz used a much more efficient shooting effort in the second half to improve to 4-5 in league and 9-9 overall. The Thunderbirds, meanwhile, suffered their 17th loss in a row, going to 0-9 in the conference and 1-17 overall.
The Thunderbirds took their seventh and final lead of the contest with 5:16 remaining at 52-51 on a lay-up by forward Casey Oliverson. The Griz re-took the lead for good at 53-52, on a pair of free throws by sophomore center Andy Martin with 4:57 left to play.
After Martin's charity shots, he Griz out-scored the T-Birds 11 to 4 over the next four-plus minutes, and when Martin blocked a shot it led to a fastbreak lay-up by junior guard Keron DeShields, as UM took an eight point (64-56) lead with 1:08 to go. It was a free throw contest after that, but SUU never got any closer than seven points (UM's lead was 68-61, with 17 seconds left).
Montana overcame a cold first half of shooting by making 13-of-20 (65.0%) shots from the floor and 5-of-7 treys (71.4%) in the final 20 minutes. In the opening half UM made just 7-of-22 (31.8%) field goal tries and 2-of-9 (22.2%) three-pointers.
"It's never a thing of beauty when we play these guys, but I am proud of our effort – we really had some guys step up," said UM head coach Wayne Tinkle on KGVO Radio on his post-game show. "Kareem was huge for us, scoring the ball and passing the ball. Kareem was just Kareem. Jordan Gregory did a great job defensively on (sophomore forward A.J., who had 8 points ) Hess. I am super proud of JG (Gregory) for that. It was a good, gusty win for us when we were not at our best."
True freshman guard Mario Dunn was a key to Montana's success in the opening minutes of the second half, scoring nine points and making two steals, and his steal and lay-up with 15:38 to go gave the Griz a 34-33 edge. SUU had led 25-22 at halftime.
Jamar, a 6-5 guard/forward from Venice, Calif., was 7-of-12 from the floor, made 3-of-4 treys, and went 8-of-13 from the line, and also had a team-high 5 assists. It was Jamar's eighth game of the season of scoring 20 or more points. He made 4-of-4 shots in the second half and scored 14 points.
Also in double figures for the Griz were junior guard Jordan Gregory with 15, DeShields had 12, and Dunn added 11. Gregory tallied 13 points in the second half, while Dunn had all 11 of his points in the final stanza. Martin led UM with 4 rebounds and he also had two blocks and two assists.
Jamar now has 372 career assists, which moves him into a tie with former Griz great M.R. Richardson (372, 1974-78) for the fifth most all-time. Jamar passed Marc Glass who was ranked sixth on the career list with 369 assists from 1980-84.
True freshman guard Trey Kennedy, SUU's leading scorer, led the T-Birds with 17 points, 11 of them coming from the line. Oliverson, a 6-8 sophomore, added 14 points and grabbed a game-high 7 rebounds.
The Grizzlies conclude a four-game league road trip, playing the Montana State Bobcats in Bozeman on Monday, Feb. 3. The Griz-Cat game will be televised on Altitude TV. The Thunderbirds host the Bobcats this coming Saturday, Feb. 1.

[Thanks to arjoseph for today's game preview -ed.]
This should be fun. Golden State play at the second-fastest pace in the Association (behind only the Knickerbockers), scoring 105 points per game. With all the young athletes fielded between the two teams, this one is going to be wild and wily, and certainly "winna-Bull" (yeah, I said it).
The Warriors
GSW enters this game 5-6 with a 2-win streak, standing third in the Pacific. Hollinger's magical formulas project them to win 38 games this year and just miss the playoffs, much like the Bulls (projected to win 40 and just miss the playoffs). In fact, Hollinger's Power Rankings have us sandwiched at 19 and 20 (the Bulls on top), although the Bulls' rating is noticably higher (1.79 higher). All this speaks to the game being competitive.
On the other hand, GSW just beat Portland (despite a 22 pt 10 reb game from Oden), the same team that obliterated us yester Wednesday. (That is, if you believe the game counted.) And they tend to be very good at home, going 81-48 in the Oracle over the past three years.
Last year we split our two games with the Warriors. In the first (a Bulls loss), Baron Davis went off for a career-high 40 pts (and Monta "Don't Call Me Mont-uh" Ellis chipped in 23). In the second (a close Bulls win), Baron was human, Chris Webber was back on the team (and sucked), Biedrins killed us on the boards (compiling 18), and GSW lost despite having three 20-point scorers. Our win was fuelled by Chris Duhon (34 pts, 9 ast) and Joe Smith (27 pts, 8 rebs). Gordon, Hinrich, and Deng didn't play.
Needless to say, things are a bit different now.
GSW has retooled in the wake of the Baron defection and the Monta moped mistake, running their offense through Captain Jack of the Ridiculous Extension. Stephen is also their second-tallest starter (at 6'8") in what is effectively a four-wing lineup, recently featuring undrafted summer-league wonder Anthony Morrow, undrafted 2006-2007 discovery Kelenna Azubuike, foul-drawing savant Corey Maggette, and lone big man Andris "The Rebounder from Riga" Biedrins. Previous starting line-ups have featured C.J. Watson at point instead of Morrow. Key bench players are Ronny "The Predator" Turiaf, who leads the team in blocks and provides them with their only real heft down low, and Brandan Wright (who, if Nellie deigns to put him in the game, is dangerous at both ends of the floor).
We probably won't be seeing any of Al Harrington as he's on his way to the aforementioned Knickerbockers, rumor has it.
The Matchup
Unlike Portland, Golden State doesn't have lots of power in the frontcourt. Turiaf plays sparingly, and Biedrins isn't exactly a monster. This means we shouldn't need to see Gray much, as long as Noah, Gooden, and Tyrus can remember to box out the Latvian ball of energy (who currently leads the league in rebounding, by the by).
Unfortunately, we might "need" to see more of Hughes at SF. If Deng (listed as day-to-day) can't go, we'll be shorthanded at the 3 spot, with only Thabo and Noc. Noc is too slow to guard the athletes GSW will field at the position. As mentioned before, Maggette is adept at drawing fouls and will most likely precipitate some tough roster decisions for Vinny when Thabo gets his third foul sometime in the first half. Who knows, maybe we'll be treated to Cedric Simmons for 25 minutes tonight.
Speaking of fouls, Biedrins has a tendency to foul quite a bit. He's been better this year about early fouls, but if we can force his hand, it might severely impinge on his playing time. Turiaf is no slouch as a back up, though, and I'm surprised he hasn't played more anyway (which I shouldn't be, knowing Nellie's love for small ball).
The keys to this game: (1) Rebounding. If we control the boards, it decreases their opportunities to run and increases our opportunities. Also, it's just generally a good idea not to give the other team second (and third) chances. With a long-distance shooting team like GSW, everyone is going to have to box out and board, as some of those misses will carom outside the paint. (2) Offensive execution. You beat the Warriors by outscoring them. They aren't that oppressive on defense, and they don't really have anyone at the point who can stop Rose. As long as we don't kill ourselves with dumb, rushed, or Larry-Hughes shots, instead attacking the rim and getting to the line, we'll be in this thing.

Board to vote on censuring Nelson
Original post made on Sep 20, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, September 20, 2013, 3:16 PM

What would a censure really accomplish? It is just a public hand slap that does not remove him from office. It's not like he will suddenly learn how to work with people.
on Sep 21, 2013 at 1:54 pm
Palmer appears to be the only one capable of rising above it all. Thank you Mr. Palmer.
on Sep 21, 2013 at 4:54 pm
It's true censuring Nelson is a slap on the wrist that probably won't change his behavior. That doesn't make it pointless. The value in censure is that it lets the staff and community know the board does not condone bad behavior. This is especially important for the administrators and support staff members who have to deal most closely with Nelson. The situation doesn't seem to have reached the point it has in Santa Clara, where many exceptional staff members left the district, but I'd hate for it to get that far.
Censure is also a crucial first step toward reviving a climate of open dialogue. I don't expect unanimous decisions on every issue. I do expect disagreement to be respectful.
Palmer set a great example as he stated his opinion and then voted his conscience. He was cheerful even though his suggestion for the board bylaw was not accepted. (On a side note, I think Palmer also supported the future agenda item to censure Nelson. The last sentence of the article gives the impression he did not.)
Chiang, Lambert, and Wheeler have been equally respectful through this frustrating situation. Their work right now is difficult, but necessary. I appreciate their service.

Blake Griffin and Yoga
Nice article on the emergence of yoga in the NBA also talks a lot about Griffin and his training while in he was recovering from his injury. Also some encouraging tidbits as well, Griffin says he is more flexible then he has ever been in his entire life and the trainer says that Griffin looks like he hasn't missed a single day. Also of note is that Baron Davis is starting to work out with the same trainer and will do a similar workout to the one that Griffin is doing.

Tulsa says no to Kragthorpe
UCONN UCONN UCONN Kragthorpe told me Tuesday night he talked with TU Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham, and was told he would not be under consideration to replace the departed Todd Graham. Kragthorpe said he wanted to interview, and should have been granted at least the courtesy to makwe a case for the job. According to the coach, he was denied. This is baffling. As I stated in the previous blog, all the reasons to consider Kragthorpe make sense. He saved the program. SAVED THE PROGRAM. And not even an interview? You must be kidding. Hey, I know this is a tough business, but is this the way TU should conduct its search. No interview? Ooch.
