Jourdan Dunn has achieved more at 23 years of age than most people do in a lifetime. To celebrate her 23rd birthday tomorrow, we've taken a look at the catwalk queen's best moments over the past year (including her viral version of The Harlem Shake!)
August 2012
Just days after her 22nd birthday, Jourdan joins eight other British supermodels including Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss to take to the stage at the Olympics Closing Ceremony. Gleaming in gold, the girls prove British fashion as a match for any nation. Rule Britannia!
November 2012
Jourdan and BFF Cara Delevingne make their debut for US lingerie brand Victoria's Secret alongside Miranda Kerr, Karlie Kloss, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.
December 2012
Not just a pretty face, Jourdan proves that models DO eat by creating a cookery show for Jay-Z's website brilliantly titled Well Dunn with Jourdan Dunn. The Brit whips up jerk chicken with Caribbean salsa and assures us it will 'knock your socks off'. Blimey!
January 2013
Jourdan announces a temporary move to the US in order to explore possibilities outside modeling (could she be the female Gordon Ramsay? Or move into television?) With London Fashion Week in February, her stay is unlikely to last long…
February 2013
February is a particularly busy month for the model.
She arrives at The Brits in a dazzling yellow mini-dress to present the award for International Male Solo Artist alongside Rafe Spall.
At London Fashion Week, she not only gives Grazia an exclusive look at the real Harlem Shake (look at her work it!) but graces the catwalk for Topshop Unique.
And finally, Jourdan's dreams come true when her style icon, Rihanna, picks her as the face of her debut collection for River Island.
March 2013
Jourdan opens up about facing discrimination in the fashion industry in her interview with Net-a-Porter's digital magazine. She rises above the past and thanks her mother for her strength: 'She always seemed to make things work without ever complaining.'
June 2013
Selfridges recruit Jourdan to star in its innovative new #denimlovers project in celebration of the London store's new Denim Studio. She admits to Grazia in an exclusive interview that she owns over 50 pairs of jeans (wow).
July 2013
Jourdan fronts the 'Give Me' Aldo Autumn campaign in 50s-inspired getups with dashes of red. We love!

Glory Days
New Yellow Bowl Owner Hopes To Bring Back The Pols--Or At Least The Customers
Judging by the faded yellow-brick walls and dirty awning on the front of 1234 Greenmount Ave., the Yellow Bowl restaurant has seen better days. One would hardly guess this quiet takeout place was once the regular haunt of city politicians, a place where the city's mayor and City Council members could regularly be found holding meetings over plates of barbecue and greens.
Indeed, over the years, Yellow Bowl's Southern grub developed a reputation among local folks and out-of-towners alike as some of the best soul food in the city--so good, in fact, that the place has grabbed headlines and attracted a handful of celebrities who popped in for chitterlings, hog maws, greens, and ribs. It is said that LL Cool J dropped in on one occasion to taste what all the fuss was about.
The fantastic fare kept the crowds coming for years, but things are not as bustling as they used to be behind that bright-yellow facade.
Situated on a block punctuated by abandoned houses in Baltimore's Johnston Square neighborhood, the Yellow Bowl stands stalwart, an amber bastion resisting the deterioration all around it. A plastic sign tied to the window's black iron grates announces 10 entrées priced under $3. Another sign beckons applicants to staff the once-renowned restaurant. A few locals mill about the sidewalk but don't venture inside.
The Yellow Bowl, which used to be owned by a man named Youman Fullard and his family, has changed hands, and on a recent weeknight the place is quiet. Two women, who appear to be friends of the manager, sit at the counter but they are not eating anything. Several tables with orange plastic benches, situated in the small dining room in the back, are empty. Behind the counter, the deep frier is empty and the grill is quiet.
Manning the counter this day is Tech Mack, who has only worked at the restaurant for a few weeks. He says mornings still bring in some neighborhood residents and city workers looking for breakfast. The Yellow Bowl's breakfast menu offers typical fare, such as egg and cheese sandwiches with scrapple, bacon, or sausage. "We get a lot of the church crowd" on Sundays, as well, Mack says.
But back in its glory days, the Yellow Bowl would be hopping morning, noon, and night. Politicians, including former Mayor Kurt Schmoke, were regulars at the place and the Yellow Bowl was even called on to cater City Hall affairs.
City Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke, of the 14th District, perks up at the mention of the Yellow Bowl. "Oh my god," she says. "Kurt Schmoke's favorite restaurant. That was his favorite place to meet."
Clarke, who served as City Council president during much of the Schmoke administration, says she thinks the former mayor's fondness for the Yellow Bowl contributed to the buzz around the place in the late 1980s and into the '90s. "He made it popular," she says. "He was the mayor."
Schmoke says it was his campaign manager, Larry Gibson, who introduced him to the Yellow Bowl during his first bid for mayor in 1987. Gibson had a weakness for the Yellow Bowl's Southern-style biscuits and he invited Schmoke there for a meeting one day. Schmoke recalls with a smile that the biscuits were "just delicious." After that, he made it a regular meeting place.
"It was in an area that some people would have considered a rough neighborhood," Schmoke says. "But for early morning meetings . . . it was very pleasant, and had a lot of regulars, [and] it was busy."
A lot of time has passed, however, since Schmoke, now dean of Howard University Law School, last visited the Yellow Bowl.
"It has to be over--gosh, maybe 10 years now," he says. "I just got so busy that I couldn't frequent the place as much as I liked. Also, it was putting more weight on me than I needed to carry."
The Yellow Bowl was originally opened in 1921 by Greek-Americans who named it after the Yellow Cab company around the corner, from which the Greenmount Avenue eatery drew some of its regular customers. Youman Fullard, owner of an adjacent grocery store and a driver for the cab company, bought the restaurant in 1967. Over several years, Fullard, a South Carolina native, and his wife, Eva, developed the rich soul-food menu that became so well known beyond Johnston Square.
Evidently encouraged by the restaurant's success, the Fullards opened a second Yellow Bowl in Park Heights in 1975, and with the help of their four children they kept flipping pancakes and bringing in customers to both locations. Son Rick Fullard says the kids would start helping at the restaurant around age 9 or 10. "Basically like washing pots, man," he says. By the time they were in their teens, they would be put to work as managers at the restaurants, though the parents maintained ownership.
In May 2000, a grease fire broke out at the Greenmount Yellow Bowl and caused about $70,000 of damage to the uninsured restaurant. With money he had saved for retirement and travel, Youman Fullard rebuilt the Yellow Bowl and reopened the neighborhood institution.
But last year, after nearly 40 years in the business, the Fullards decided it was time to turn the original Yellow Bowl restaurant over to new management. The neighborhood had deteriorated since they'd first opened the Greenmount location, and the Fullards were getting on in years, says Eva Fullard. Most of the Fullard children, she says, moved on to other occupations, although son Rick Fullard, who tried his hand at politics when he ran for City Council in 2003, still manages the Yellow Bowl restaurant in Park Heights.
The Fullards leased the Greenmount location to Malik Royster, a former state building inspector who owns a construction company called Royster Construction (Royster is also a distant relative to Christina Royster-Hemby, a former City Paper staff writer). Royster says he is exercising an option in his contract to buy the restaurant from the Fullards and has already paid the first $100,000 of $500,000 they want for the business.
Standing outside the Yellow Bowl, Troy Johnson, who says he's lived in the neighborhood for years, says he remembers when the place was a late-night hotspot. He says its popularity has declined along with the neighborhood.
"People still come around," Johnson says, but "it ain't like it was before."
Rick Fullard says the neighborhood has changed "quite a bit," but he is optimistic that new development nearby will help things pick up. Likewise, Royster, who grew up in Johnston Square, has high hopes that things can turn around for the Yellow Bowl.
Royster says the history of the restaurant is important to him. He hopes to restore the hubbub that used to surround the now-faded Yellow Bowl, which he says is the oldest minority-owned restaurant in the city and occupies a building that was once a stop on the Underground Railroad.
He intends to keep the menu, fried chicken, ribs, biscuits, and all, but he also plans to create a lounge atmosphere inside. He envisions it not just as a neighborhood takeout joint, but as "someplace you can come for happy hour when you get off work."
"I want to have Monday-night football to Sunday brunch," he says. "There is nothing like that up and down here" on Greenmount. The windowless Avenue Bar is the only drinkery in sight, and it doesn't appear to be the kind of comfortable, welcoming place Royster describes.
Royster says that since he is a contractor, he can do much of the needed renovation work himself. "I can pull my own permits," he says. "I can do my own electrical, my own HVAC, you name it." He is in the process of obtaining a liquor license and a permit for outdoor seating. He adds that he would welcome the return of the City Hall crowd to the Yellow Bowl.
On a recent afternoon inside the restaurant, Mack stands over the grill and cooks up minced barbecue and home fries for a reporter. Takeout bag in hand, the reporter bids farewell to the guys on the corner, who joke that the food won't be worth eating.
They are, however, wrong. The collard greens are salty as seaweed, but the BBQ pork (or is that chicken?) and home fries are good to the last bite.
Time will tell if Royster can revive the Yellow Bowl by serving up beer alongside Southern-style short ribs, but he has high hopes that he can turn it into the busy meeting place and soul-food destination it used to be.
In the meantime, Councilwoman Clarke has a suggestion for giving the business a little jump-start. "Kurt Schmoke and I ought to go back and have breakfast and get things stirring again," she says.

There hasn't been so much comment on the MBA course of late, so here is an update. Firstly I can't believe it is week 8 already. We are super busy with many modules converging with presentations in the next few days. There is the conclusion of Practise of Management, a module that I feel I have got a lot from working with our Charity organisation and where we have really made a small difference to working life. We will have another Dragons Den experience with this and this time I am presenting!
The MAM module has just handed out a case study. The idea is to be a critical customer of a model given to you as a manager in a report. Our case is quite topical as it presents a model to equate credit ratings to likely default on mortgage payments! There will be plenty to go at then. The assessment did cause some confusion however as it was not clear on the weightings – I suspect it was rushed together at the last minute.
Today I have my first Entrepreneurial Finance meeting. Luckily my whole group is on campus – the syndicate groups are a mix of distance, exec and full time MBA students. This should be a great benefit and I am looking forward to meeting my new team. The first submission for this is a week Friday, then every Friday for the next 4 weeks. It is full on, especially as these hand ins won't be assessed and they go over exam week for us.
Strategy yesterday was a great class. We covered a whirlwind tour of Mergers & Acquisitions and then had a debate on the case: Nestle v Rowntree's. It was good as our team had to role play Rowntree's, another Nestle. Made for an interesting session and something quite different to the norm.
In both Marketing and Management of Change Innovation and Entrepreneurship was covered. This was a great couple of sessions and it was good to get right under the how and the why on this subject that is close to my heart.
A couple of us on the Student Staff Liaison Committee have also been working hard on putting together an end of term Ball for the class. We have as small budget from the fee's the class has paid. The plan is coming together nicely and it should be a great event if we can pull it off amungst all our other commitments.
Finally, the modules this term seem to be delivering but I have to say looking back, the first few weeks were a little light this term and now it is nearly all over.

Childress Expects Berrian's Opportunities To IncreasePosted by on September 14, 2009 – 3:34 pm
Vikings WR Bernard Berrian's status all week leading into Sunday's season opener was in doubt as he continued to recover from a hamstring injury that was suffered during the team's 1st preseason game in Indianapolis. Berrian was able to play against the Browns but he wasn't able to haul in any catches and was only thrown to twice.
But Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said on Monday that he expects Berrian's productivity will increase as he works his way back into the fold and develops some synergy with QB Brett Favre.
"He played fifty or fifty-five plays," Childress said. "He played very well in our run game. He just didn't have that many opportunities around the ball. I would think that would increase as he spends more time and [develops] a little more stamina…Brett learning him a little better. I didn't see any ill-effects in terms of the hamstring at all."
The Vikings head coach also cited Cleveland's scheme as a reason Berrian, and the rest of the Vikings WRs, weren't able to fill up the box score.
"He (Favre) had those couple shots…he had the one up to Percy and I think he had one up to Berrian," Childress recalled. "But there was a lot of soft shell stuff. A lot of fire zone stuff where they kind of had an umbrella-type of coverage with the safeties hanging around. It was going to be hard to throw it past them. So we took what was there and took the shots when we had some bump and run looks that we were able to utilize. It's kind of how they played their coverage. (Browns Head Coach) Eric's (Mangini) a back end guy, so everything that they do is mindful of the back end to the front end."
Another reason to expect Berrian's opportunities in the passing game to increase is because of Adrian Peterson's 180-yard, 3-TD output on Sunday against Cleveland. You can be sure the Detroit Lions, the Vikings opponents next week, are studying film from the Vikings-Browns game to try and find a way to slow down the Vikings explosive running game.
Something tells me the Lions won't be using much umbrella coverage next Sunday.

Top 10 Qualities of a MVCPosted by on September 14, 2009 – 3:05 pm
Ever wonder what I am looking for in team members for the MVC?
Here is my top 10 list of qualities I am looking for in an MVC.
1. Motivated – I am looking for women who are "go-getters", who take initiative, who aren't waiting for things to happen, but are making things happen!
2. Inspiring – Something about them needs to be inspiring. Their life history or upbringing, their life ambition, their talent level, etc. When you get to know this woman you are inspired by her and it makes an impact.
3. Charitable – Compassion is necessary, along with the willingness to donate your time for a cause. We are very lucky to be so involved in the community and if a team member doesn't have a passion for giving back it could be a long season for them.
4. Beautiful – Inside first! We are looking for women who are beautiful people. They must be caring, kind, hard working, ethical, etc.
5. Beauty – Of course, we are also looking for women who take care of themselves and have a natural beauty about them.
6. Talented – This could be learned talent or natural talent. You don't have to be the "STATE CHAMP" but you have to have the basics.
7. Unselfish – Someone who will be looking for ways to serve the team, her teammates and the community. We are not looking for someone who wants to be "famous", to be "cover model for the calendar" or looking to meet their future husband.
8. Confident – whether in front of a crowd, on-air, at a photo shoot, dancing for the judges, or performing on the sidelines we need confident women. Now honestly, we can't always be 100% confident, but you can "fake it till you make it" and be confident in your ability to do well – even when you are nervous.
9. Organized – our team does many community appearances, calendar sales events, and other events on top of their personal schedule and our practice and game schedule. You have to have good time management skills and be willing to make some sacrifices during your year as an MVC.
10. Have a love for the Vikings – it is hard to cheer for hours on end if you don't have a passion for performing for the purple and gold ?

Although it might not have been in the "receptions" and "receiving yards" columns, Vikings WRs helped fill up the box score on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The WR group combined for just 5 catches and 53 receiving yards, but Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress showered the group with praise for their blocking efforts in the run game.
"All of our wide receivers, when you break runs that long, you see people pressed up," Childress said. "Percy had guys knocked on the ground. Not coming across the field and knocking somebody down, I'm talking about stalk blocking somebody and putting them on their back. Sidney Rice was involved in the run game. Bernard Berrian was exceptional out there with the ball coming around the edge."
The blocking efforts by WRs aided RB Adrian Peterson in his 25-carry, 180-yard effort. In fact, Peterson's longest run of the day, a 64-yarder in the 4th quarter, was sprung not only because of Peterson's blend of speed and strength, but also because of 2 key blocks from Rice along the sideline on Browns CB Brandon McDonald.
Typically we expect WRs to make a difference in the game by hauling in acrobatic catches and getting into the open field. But it's pleasing to see the Vikings receiver group giving just as much effort in blocking downfield as they give to catching the ball downfield.

Monday Morning Mailbag Is Moving!Posted by on September 14, 2009 – 12:19 pm
Just wanted to let everyone know that we'll be switching our weekly mailbag feature from Monday mornings to Fridays for the regular season. It made sense to answer your mail on Mondays during the offseason, but with enough Monday morning QBing going on already, I thought it would be more interesting to answer your mail on Fridays so we can all look forward to the weekend's big games.
You can submit your question or comment to me at email@example.com. I won't be able to include every question/comment in the weekly feature, but I will appropriately answer every piece of mail I receive.
Feel free to email questions about anything, whether it's Vikings-related, NFL-related or anything else that's on your mind.

In the meantime, continue to checkout vikings.com for more coverage from yesterday's 34-20 win over the Cleveland Browns. Click here to watch a replay of Adrian Peterson's 64-yard TD run and here to watch QB Brett Favre's press conference immediately following Sunday's game.
In his press conference, Favre was asked a couple times about playing with Peterson and he showered the superstar RB with praise, saying ""I haven't played with a running back like that. The guy's pretty awesome, I guess is an understatement."

text: On January 24, 2002, at 1400 eastern standard time, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-41, N754NW, operated by Northwest Airlines as flight 1118, experienced a number 2 (right) engine tail pipe fire during engine start while on the ramp near the end of runway 32 at the Indianapolis International Airport, Indianapolis, Indiana. An emergency evacuation was performed during which one passenger received a broken arm. The 2 cockpit crewmembers, 3 flight attendants, and 69 other passengers were not injured. The scheduled domestic flight was operating under 14 CFR Part 121. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an IFR flight plan was filed. The scheduled destination for the flight was Detroit, Michigan.According to the captain, the airplane was pushed back from the gate when they attempted to start the engines. He reported they attempted to start the right engine and they were unable to get it to start. The captain reported they performed the "clearing procedure" then went on to start the left engine, which started successfully. The crew then attempted to start the right engine again, and this time it started successfully. They then proceeded to taxi to runway 32 where they were informed of a 20-minute air traffic control (ATC) delay. The flightcrew shut down the engines during the delay.After approximately 15 minutes, NW1118 was informed by ground control that they should start their engines, as they would probably be released for takeoff soon. The captain reported they attempted to start the right engine and again could not get it started. They performed the "clearing procedure" and then went on to start the left engine with no problem. They then attempted to start the right engine again. The captain reported "Ground reported smoke then a few seconds later fire on right engine. We performed the ENGINE FIRE checklist discharging bottle number 2. Soon ground said there was still fire; we discharged number 1 and performed emergency evacuation." The captain reported that they did not receive any fire warning indications in the cockpit.The investigation revealed Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) personnel were parked near NW 1118. It was ARFF personnel who first reported the smoke and flames coming from the number 2 engine. ARFF personnel began relaying information to the airplane through ATC. Upon seeing the smoke and fire, ARFF requested that the pilot shut down the engine. The flight crew informed ARFF that they performed the engine fire checklist and discharged one of the fire suppressant bottles. ARFF reported that the smoke was continuing to come from the engine. The flightcrew shut down the left (number 1) engine and ARFF informed the flightcrew that there was a tug coming out to tow the airplane back to the hangar. ARFF then reported that flames were still visible in the number 2 engine and they were going to apply fire-fighting agent to the engine. They requested that the flightcrew begin evacuating the airplane. The flightcrew initiated an evacuation. All of the passengers were directed to the front of the airplane and the evacuation took place using the 1L and 1R doors. One passenger, who exited the 1R door, received a broken wrist during the evacuation. This passenger reported, "A flight attendant motioned to me to leave by the galley door by pointing with his finger. I crouched down as best I could and sat on the slide. The next memory I had was laying face down on the tarmac, in pain, wondering how I got there. My first instinct was to stand up and walk to the other passengers. A firefighter stopped me and said that I fell from a further distance than I thought I did and that I shouldn't move until I got checked out." At witness reported that the passenger stepped out onto the slide during the evacuation. The passenger bounced down the slide and fell over the side when approximatley four to five feet off the ground.The investigation revealed the engine start fuel scheduling for the Fuel Control Unit was high. In addition, the ignition exciter box and igniter plugs were tested. The ignition exciter box was found to operate intermittently on the D.C. circuit which would be used for engine start.

I have only used this product once, but I was not please with the results. I used this product as a deep conditioner treatment. After deep conditioning my hair, my hair felt very dry and coarse. Now my hair is naturally coarse and kinky, however this product did not soften or provide moisture to my curls. I believe this specific protein treatment was too harsh for my natural hair. I advise others with naturally kinky and coarse hair similar to my own to use caution when using this product.

I'm not sure if it was because the shampoo mate wasn't doing a good job cleaning, but my hair was both waxy and dried out on the ends after using this shampoo and conditioner pair for a week. This migth work for short, and I mena short, hair, but my longer, fine hair looked, felt, and behaved worse.

This was second bottle I purchased of GBP conditioner. First time I tried it was very very good product. But now everything has changed. The structure, now it's much thinner and seems not to cover hear as I would like to. The fragrance has also changed to worse. And most importantly, it doesn't perform as good. No added shine or smoothness to hair. Might be my hair have used to effect. But still, aroma and structure has definitely changed.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) signed an agreement to improve coordination in enforcing the whistleblower provision of the Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA). The FRSA protects employees from retaliation when they report safety violations to the government or report work-related personal injuries or illnesses. Under the agreement, FRA will refer railroad employees who complain of alleged discrimination to OSHA, and OSHA will share copies of the complaints it receives with FRA. OSHA will also share any findings and preliminary orders that OSHA issues. The agencies will work together to develop training for FRA on how to handle complaints of retaliation, and to assist OSHA enforcement staff in recognizing potential violations of railroad safety regulations revealed during whistleblower complaint investigations.FRA and OSHA sent a joint letter to railroad and transportation associations expressing their commitment to work together to ensure that injury reporting is as accurate and consistent as possible. The letter highlights an increase in railroad injury/incident reporting in recent years and provides concrete ways that the associations' member organizations can improve the safety of their workplaces and improve their compliance with federal regulations. Between 2007 and 2012, OSHA received more than 900 whistleblower complaints under the FRSA. Almost 63% involved an allegation that a worker was retaliated against for reporting an on-the-job injury. Rail safety regulations are developed and enforced by FRA in cooperation with rail stakeholders, including rail labor organizations. Through inspection, enforcement and education, FRA plays a key role in ensuring rail safety. While FRA has broad authority over rail safety, OSHA has responsibility for taking corrective actions for violations of the whistleblower provisions of the FRSA. OSHA enforces the whistleblower provision of the FRSA as well as whistleblower provisions of 20 other statutes protecting employees who report violations of various securities, trucking, airline, nuclear, pipeline, environmental, public transportation, workplace safety and health, consumer product safety, healthcare reform and financial reform laws. Under these laws, employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees who raise various protected concerns or provide protected information to the employer or to the government. Employees who believe that they have been retaliated against for engaging in protected conduct may file a complaint with the Secretary of Labor requesting an investigation by OSHA's Office of Whistleblower Protection Program.Detailed information on employee whistleblower rights, including fact sheets with information on how to file a complaint with OSHA, is available online at www.whistleblowers.gov.Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
ATIVAN (lorazepam) InjectionCIVRx only
Lorazepam, a benzodiazepine with antianxiety, sedative, and anticonvulsant effects, is intended for the intramuscular or intravenous routes of administration. It has the chemical formula: 7-chloro-5(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2 H -1, 4-benzodiazepin-2-one.
Status Epilepticus
ATIVAN Injection is indicated for the treatment of status epilepticus.
ATIVAN Injection is indicated in adult patients for preanesthetic medication, producing sedation (sleepiness or drowsiness), relief of anxiety, and a decreased ability to recall events related to the day of surgery. It is most useful in those patients who are anxious about their surgical procedure and who would prefer to have diminished recall of the events of the day of surgery (see PRECAUTIONS, Information for Patients).
RAMPART (Rapid Anticonvulsant Medication Prior to Arrival Trial): a double-blind randomized clinical trial of the efficacy of intramuscular midazolam versus intravenous lorazepam in the prehospital treatment of status epilepticus by paramedics. [2011.10]Early treatment of prolonged seizures with benzodiazepines given intravenously by paramedics in the prehospital setting has been shown to be associated with improved outcomes. However, an increasing number of Emergency Medical System (EMS) protocols use an intramuscular (IM) route because it is faster and consistently achievable...
Lorazepam effects on Word Memory Test performance: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. [2011.07]The Word Memory Test (WMT) is a common measure of symptom validity. To investigate the effects of acute benzodiazepines on WMT scores, oral lorazepam 2 mg (LOR) and placebo were administered 1 week apart in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study.
Intranasal versus intravenous lorazepam for control of acute seizures in children: a randomized open-label study. [2011.04]PURPOSE: Intravenous lorazepam is considered the drug of first choice for control of acute convulsive seizures. However, resource or personnel constraints necessitate the study of alternative routes and medications...
Neurocognitive effects of brivaracetam, levetiracetam, and lorazepam. [2011.02]PURPOSE: Brivaracetam (BRV) is a new anticonvulsant under development...
One milligram of lorazepam does not decrease anxiety induced by CCK-4 in healthy volunteers: investigation of neural correlates with BOLD MRI. [2011.01]Benzodiazepine effects on cholecystokinin tetrapeptide (CCK-4)-induced panic attack (PA) in humans are incompletely characterized, in particular on the neurofunctional level. This work explores the effects of lorazepam on brain activity and behavioral and physiological symptoms related to CCK-4-induced PA in healthy volunteers...
Fasting Study of Lorazepam Tablets 2 mg and Ativan Tablets 2 mg [Completed]
The objective of this study was to investigate the bioequivalence of Mylan's lorazepam 2 mg
tablets to Wyeth's Ativan 2 mg tablets following a single, oral 2 mg (1 x 2 mg) dose
administered under fasting conditions.
Efficacy and Safety Study Comparing Lorazepam and Diazepam for Children in the Emergency Department With Seizures (Status 2) [Recruiting]
Children with seizures are frequently seen in the emergency department. The drug lorazepam,
which is commonly used, is not labeled by the US Food and Drug Administration for children
for this use. The FDA, under the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, has requested that
a study comparing diazepam, a drug that is labeled by the FDA for this indication, with
lorazepam be performed. The study will show whether one drug is more effective and safe than
the other.
Lorazepam Sedation for Critically Ill Children [Suspended]
This clinical trial is being performed under the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act,
signed into law in 2002 in order to improve pediatric labeling for off-patent drugs. The
purpose of this study is to make sure that lorazepam, when given to children who are very
sick in the Intensive Care Unit and who are on a breathing machine, is safe and works as well
as a drug called midazolam. Midazolam is already approved by the FDA for this use, but
lorazepam is not, even though both drugs are commonly used for sedation.
Lorazepam, Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, and Haloperidol Gel in Patients With Nausea [Recruiting]
This randomized clinical trial studies lorazepam, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, and
haloperidol gel in patients with nausea. Lorazepam, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, and
haloperidol gel, when absorbed into the skin, may be an effective treatment for nausea and
Effect of Additive Lorazepam on Patient Satisfaction as a Premedication in Diagnostic Flexible Bronchoscopy [Recruiting]
Many patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy (FB) experience anxiety and discomfort during
the procedure. The investigators want to evaluate whether an additional Lorazepam
premedication would improve patient satisfaction for FB.

David Kamp author of the definitive, not to mention best-selling, account of Americas metamorphosis into a nation of gourmands, The United States of Arugula must like us. Why else would he share an eloquently annotated list of his favorite books relating to New York food history? Okay, it may be that hes an overachiever, spilling with knowledge. Either way, we welcome his voice here on Grub Street.
Washington Square, Henry James (1880), and The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton (1920)
These arent explicitly food books, but I love the glimpses that Jamess and Whartons novels afford of New York eating habits, high and low, in the nineteenth century. In Washington Square, the busybody spinster aunt of the heroine, Mrs. Penniman, thinks it electrifyingly transgressive to meet up with her nieces forbidden lover at an oyster saloon in the Seventh Avenue, kept by a Negro. (Living in Greenwich Village as I do, I wish there were still oyster saloons on Seventh Avenue, Negro-owned or otherwise.) The Age of Innocence, set mostly in the 1870s, gives us the dowager Mrs. Manson Mingott, rendered as vast and august as a natural phenomenon by an adulthood devoted to nonstop Gilded Age banqueteering. Whartons gala meal scenes always seem to involve terrapin and canvasback duck two species that were nearly rendered extinct by the piggy Mrs. Mingotts of the world.
Dining at the Pavillon, Joseph Wechsberg (1962)
This is basically a light biography of Henri Soul, the penguin-shaped Frenchman who presided over the dining facilities of the French Pavilion of the 39-40 Worlds Fair in Flushing and parlayed that experience into opening Le Pavillon the restaurant that birthed a dozen more Le and La French places and catalyzed New Yorks emergence as a serious fine-dining city. Wechsberg was a New Yorker writer and epicure who had the foresight or maybe just the nose for a good story to capture Soul in all his Monty Pythonesque imperiousness before he croaked. Which, four years after this book was published, he did.
Bite, Gael Greene (1971)
Out of print but easy to find. I prefer this to Insatiable, Greenes tell-all memoir from last year. Its Gael in the moment, a collection of her early pieces from New York and the old Herald Tribune, when she first found her voice as a female Austin Powers who happens to love food as much as shagging. She finds the plentitude of Zabars erotic (!), cites a restaurant called Le Madrigal as the ideal extra-marital retreat of summer Manhattan, and is wowed by the Zum-Zum wurstbars really impressive range of sausagery. Yeah, Ill bet, baby! Awesome period jacket by Milton Glaser, too.
Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain (2000)
Skinny Tonys current ubiquity on TV, bus ads, billboards, book covers, and, occasionally, in the kitchen has obscured what an accomplishment this book was, and how jarringly fresh it was in 2000. For too long, food writing had suffered from a chronic case of the twees. Then, out of nowhere or, more specifically, the so-so Les Halles on Park Avenue South this journeyman chef came along and cut right through all the rapturous-pastoral crap with something sharp, funny, and real. (The new spate of food bloggers owes much of its wiseacre voice to him.) Still, calling Emeril Ewok-like was just low.

"As if a Pedestrian Should Judge a Car Driving Past"
"As if a Pedestrian Should Judge a Car Driving Past"
Rudolf Henke
MEDICA.de talked to Rudolf Henke, chairman of the German Doctor's Union called Marburger Bund, about MOT, data protection and advertising.
MEDICA.de: Mr. Henke, as chairman of the Marburger Union you expressed some doubts about a rating portal for physicians. Can you explain why?
Rudolf Henke: I am wary because the AOK has made the announcement of planning a rating website, a kind of doctor's MOT, without informing the physicians before. Additionally, the insurance company has not explained yet how the website will work in detail. Moreover, it is not correct to talk about an MOT test. I connect MOT to an expert opinion. An institution I appreciate since it is concerned with security. However, the AOK does not concentrate on security since patients are not experts and therefore are not able to evaluate the quality of medical treatment. This is, as if a pedestrian should judge a car driving past.
MEDICA.de: Well, the AOK talks about a rating website and not about an MOT test for physicians. Patients are not supposed to evaluate the quality of the doctor, but friendliness of medical staff or whether the physician takes sufficient time for the patient's treatment.
Henke: Many patients prefer sensitive physicians. However, the first thing I am interested in is the doctor's competence. It is a nice side effect when the doctor and his medical staff are friendly on top of that. We need to be very careful at the moment to give the rating website premature praise. The AOK needs to be careful about giving opportunity for anonymous slander of physicians.
MEDICA.de: An evaluation does not necessarily have to be negative. The rating website may just as well be some kind of advertisement for a doctor receiving many postive remarks.
Henke: Well, there is always the possibility to personally recommend a good doctor. That too is a good promotion. When I am not satisfied with the physician I could try to talk to him instead of airing my displeasure into the whole world via internet. A public dispute between doctor and patient seems to be a rather unfortunate matter. Additionally, the internet is prone to manipulations. There will always remain a trace of everything written down there.
Satisfied with a physician or
not?; © SXC
MEDICA.de: The AOK is aware of that problem and wants to create barriers in order to prevent abuse. The insured are supposed to log in with their insurance number and can only vote once. This would prevent multiple assessments.
Henke: Multiple evaluations may be prevented with this measure. But what about data protection? The AOK has 24 million members. That is a huge data pool enabling the insurance to allocate which member judged what doctor. Such an undertaking should be left with independent consumer advisers.
MEDICA.de: How to you regard the fact that scientists and physicians together are supposed to work out the questions for the rating website?
Henke: The AOK said that it wants to develop the questions with the help of physicians but we will have to wait and see if they will really do so. Also, we will wait and see who these physicians are. Are they going to be chosen by the AOK? We do not have information on that. First of all we would like to see a scheme. In the near future, we will talk about this with Jürgen Graalmann, vice chairman of the AOK federal union.
MEDICA.de: Many patients wish for some kind of a guideline when searching for the right specialist. What alternative to the rating website would you suggest?
Henke: First of all, I would ask my general practitioner for some advice. The medical association and the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians can also help with finding a specialist. Additionally, most patients will talk with friends and acquaintances.
MEDICA.de: That may not always be possible. Today, it is quite common to follow your job and to move to a new city where you do not know anybody.
Henke: Yes, that does happen. But this problem also exists when you need a doctor during your vacation. I do understand the interest of many patients in orientation and transparency. However, I do not think that this will be accomplished by this doctor's navigator. There are still too many unsolved problems and the AOK is happy about all the publicity free of charge thanks to the media talking about it.
The interview was conducted by Simone Heimann.
What is the opinion of doctor's navigator supporters?
Two weeks ago, MEDICA.de reported about the plans of the AOK. The government's patient representative Helga Kühn-Mengel took sides for a rating website. Click here for the interview!
