- Contrast echocardiogram—A solution is injected into the vein and can be seen in the heart.
- Stress echocardiogram—This records the heart's activity during a cardiac stress test .
- Echocardiogram with Doppler ultrasound—This helps your doctor assess blood flow.
Transesophageal echocardiogram
—To provide clear images of the heart, the ultrasound device is put down your throat. Your doctor may need to use this test depending on what part of the heart needs to be viewed.
If you have the following conditions, you may need this test, rather than the standard echocardiogram:
- Certain lung diseases
- Obesity
Reasons for Test
- Evaluate a heart murmur
- Diagnose valve conditions
- Find changes in the heart's structure
- Assess motion of the chamber walls and damage to the heart muscle after a heart attack
- Assess how different parts of the heart work in people with chronic heart disease
- Determine if fluid is collecting around the heart
- Identify growths in the heart
- Assess and monitor birth defects
- Test blood flow through the heart
- Assess heart or major blood vessel damage caused by trauma
- Test heart function and diagnose heart and lung problems in very ill patients
- Assess chest pain
- Look for blood clots within heart chambers
What to Expect
Prior to Test
- Physical exam
- Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) —a test that records the heart's activity by measuring electrical currents through the heart muscle

Spider-Man PartyBy Meschel on 16/05/2014 1:32:09 PM
My little boys party was a huge success and I didn't have to do a thing! From the moment Spider-Man and Tinkerbell arrived they were in character, to the moment they left. He loved it, he was the talk of the crèche and has had wonderful chats with me about how amazing it was that they could stop fighting crime for just enough time to come to his party. Such profession (...) Read more

Yeah, nothing like coming through DeBeque Canyon and knowing that after a 5,000 mile/13-day road trip that the next bend will unveil the beauty of the Grand Valley. Yes, Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore!What better way to celebrate being back home than to have St. Patrick's Day on the first weekend back.Throughout the Grand Valley, we will be seeing lots of leprechauns (or at least people who think they look good in green) prancing about, celebrating an Irish Holiday, even though a lot of them have no clue as to the origin. (Google the history of St. Patrick's Day and you can find out why the Shamrock has a huge part of this.)But as we all have seen, many of these same folk, all Irish for the day or extended weekend, will be green the following day after their celebrations. At least, we do not turn what is left of the Colorado River green.But, coming with St. Patrick's Day is a great celebration of Irish food - Corned Beef & Cabbage, Irish Soda Bread, Shamrock Cakes and all kinds of green cookies, oh my! Go out, have some fun! Check out the local restaurants, bars, breweries and such, as they will all be having some "green" specials! And then get ready for Spring's official arrival!Lee is the founder and owner of Decadence Gourmet Cheesecakes and Catering.

Dr. Smith has not spent the bulk of his career at Johns Hopkins, as many of his colleagues have. In fact, he joined the faculty at Hopkins mid-career with one primary goal in mind: to enhance its palliative care program.
Palliative care is a relatively young medical specialty. It was only declared a board-certified specialty in 2006. But an increasing number of hospitals and academic centers are beginning to recognize its importance. As a pioneer in palliative care who has dedicated his career to it, Dr. Smith is ahead of the curve. "I think of palliative care as being open and honest in communication with patients, as setting medically appropriate goals, and the best symptom management," Dr. Smith says.
Too many physicians, explains Dr. Smith, avoid uncomfortable conversations regarding pain and difficult decisions about patients' future. "Oncologists as a whole don't like to bring up these issues at all. If we do, we tend to bring them up when it's too late," he says. "I've learned to address these issues farther upstream."
The issues to which Dr. Smith refers are sensitive but significant, and include things like future decisions about life-support, hospice versus home care, and even patients' remaining goals. Talking with patients about these subjects when they can adequately ponder them, that is, when they have six months or even two years to live, can make an enormous difference to their quality of life.
Proof exists of palliative care's effectiveness. Dr. Smith refers to studies demonstrating that oncology patients who receive palliative care alongside regular care have better symptomatic management, less depression and anxiety, and better overall quality of life. They may even live longer.
He also believes that Johns Hopkins is on the cusp of fully embracing palliative care and its rewards. "The whole place is ready. We think Hopkins has the potential to become a national leader [in palliative care] in the next five years," Dr. Smith says.

Hello all,
Bhikkhu Nanananda, in his prologue to The Magic of the Mind ... an Exposition of the Kalakarama Sutta. (BPS 1985)
"..... Suppose, monks a magician or a magician's apprentice should hold a magic-show at the four cross-roads; and a keen-sighted man should see it, ponder over it and reflect on it radically. (1) Even as he sees it, ponders over it and reflects on it radically, he would find it empty; he would find it hollow; he would find it void of essence. What essence, monks, could there be in a magic show?
Even so, monks, whatever consciousness - be it past, future or present, in oneself or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, far or near - a monk sees it, ponders over it and reflects on it radically. And even as he sees it, ponders over it and reflects on it radically, he would find it empty; he would find it hollow; he would find it void of essence. What essence monks, could there be in a consciousness? (2) ......"
Form is like a mass of foam
And feeling - but an airy bubble.
Perception is like a mirage
And formations a plantain tree.
Consciousness is a magic-show,
A juggler's trick entire,
All these similes were made known
By the 'Kinsman-of-the-Sun." (3) S.III.142.
The famous magician whose miraculous performances you have thoroughly enjoyed on many an occasion, is back again in your town. The news of his arrival has spread far and wide, and eager crowds are now making for the large hall where he is due to perform today. You too buy a ticket and manage to enter the hall. There is already a scramble for seats, but you are not keen on securing one, for today you have entered with a different purpose in mind. You have had a bright idea to outwit the magician - to play a trick on him yourself. So you cut your way through the thronging crowds and stealthily creep into some concealed corner of the stage.
The magician enters the stage through the dark curtains, clad in his pitchy black suit. Black boxes containing his secret stock-in-trade are also now on the stage. The performance starts and from your point of vantage you watch. And as you watch with sharp eyes every movement of the magician, you now begin to discover, one after the other, the secrets behind those 'breath-taking' miracles of your favourite magician. The hidden holes and false bottoms in his magic boxes, the counterfeits and secret pockets, the hidden strings and buttons that are pulled and pressed under the cover of the frantic waving of his magic-wand. Very soon you see through his bag of wily tricks so well, that you are able to discover his next 'surprises', they no longer surprise you. His 'tricks' no longer deceive you. His 'magic' has lost its magic for you. It no longer kindles your imagination as it used to do in the past. The magician's 'hocus-pocus' and 'abracadabra' and his magic-wand now suggest nothing to you - for you know them now for what they are, that is : 'meaningless'. The whole affair has now turned out to be an empty-show, one vast hoax - a treachery.
In utter disgust, you turn away from it to take a peep at the audience below. And what a sight! A sea of craned necks - eyes that gaze in blind admiration; mouths that gape in dumb appreciation; the 'Ah!'s and 'Oh!'s and whistles of speechless amazement.
Truly, a strange admixture of tragedy and comedy which you could have enjoyed instead of the magic-show, if not for the fact that you yourself were in that same sorry plight on many a previous occasion. Moved by compassion for this frenzied crowd, you almost frown on the magician as he chuckles with a sinister grin at every applause from his admirers. "how is it," you wonder, "that I have been deceived so long by this crook of a magician?" You are fed up with all this and swear to yourself - "Never will I waste my time and money on such empty shows, Nev-ver."
The show ends. Crowds are now making for the exit. You too slip out of your hiding place unseen, and mingle with them. Once outside, you spot a friend of yours whom you know as a keen admirer of this magician. Not wishing to embarrass him with the news of your unusual experience, you try to avoid him, but you are too late. Soon you find yourself listening to a vivid commentary on the magic performance. Your friend is now reliving those moments of the 'bliss-of-ignorance' which he had just been enjoying. But before long he discovers that you are mild and reserved today, and wonders how you could be so, after such a marvellous show.
"Why? You were in the same hall all this time, weren't you"
"Yes, I was."
"Then, were you sleeping?"
"Oh! No."
"You weren't watching closely, I suppose."
"No, no, I was watching it alright, may be I was watching too closely."
"You say you were watching, but you don't seem to have seen the show."
"No, I saw it. In fact I saw it so well that I missed the show!"

Jetting off to new countries isn't a plan (or even an option) for many young women. But what if a poor-but-adventurous gal could get a benefactor to fly her around the world? Now she can... as long as she's attractive.
Dating site MissTravel pairs too-broke-to-travel hotties with wealthy users who will pay for their vacations. Since it's a "dating" site, you have to travel with your benefactor (which sets up the possibility for some very long, awkward first dates), who is expected to take care of all trip expenses. To sum things up, MissTravel is "the only online dating website for travelers, and more specifically, we match Generous travelers who hate to travel alone with Attractive travelers who would love the opportunity to travel the world for free."
The more you travel with "Generous" users, the more opportunities you have for them to give you "flyer points." These points are essentially cash that one can use to travel solo. [via Jezebel]
In theory, an all-expenses-paid trip just for being pretty sounds great! But that's not looking at the subtext of the site, which seems a little... escort-y. I just wouldn't have the gumption to sign up!
Would you ever use a site like MissTravel?

Perfect Gift Basket!
By Brit
from Cincinnati, OH
I ordered multiple "Hole-In-One" baskets for a corporate golf outing. They arrived in perfect condition and were easy to carry around and deliver. My team absolutely loved the baskets. Random people at the club were asking where they came from and I was happy to tell them where they can order!
Fantastic gift
By Dad D
from Cleveland, WI
It arrived early and the gift was truly appreciated as a "just thought of you when I saw this" gift.
Great Value
By Lorri
from Waterbury, CT
sent the basket to my son-in-law for his Birthday, in Texas. I never saw the basket,he said it was great!
Hole in One Gift Basket
By Nancy B.
from Santa Fe, NM
My father really enjoyed this gift basket!
Perfect for the avid golfer
By SciTchr
from Tucson, AZ
Product was even better than pictured! Great gift.
No gift card...
By Crystal
from Marlboro, NY
Although the recipient enjoyed the contents, there was no gift card attached so they didn't know who sent it to them. That was very disappointing especially being it was for Father's Day and I sent a special note...
Father's Day Gift
By Peggy
from Palm Bay, FL
Mt father-in-law really liked it!
Unique and Fun Gift!
By Wine Lover
from West Hartford, CT
Product arrived early and recipient was totally surprised. He loved it!! I would absolutely order this again for a golf lover.
Great Valentine's Day Surprise
By Jenbc02
from Charlottesville, VA
This arrived one day late due to a snow storm, but it's okay since my husband was thrilled to get a gift for Valentine's Day. He always goes all out, so I wanted to do something in return. He loves golf, so this was a perfect gift. He has enjoyed all the food. I think the insulated bag is awesome since it looks just like a golf bag, but my husband thinks a lunch bag isn't too manly so he may not use it. Great quality delicious food. He was surprised everytime he opened something new, thinking it would be chinsey and finding it was fantastic!

The new Knockout Rounds on
The Voice
proved to be fast and furious
Monday night
as Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green cut their teams down to five singers each. Early favorites like Avery Wilson went home while previously unknown singers emerged as powerhouses (Loren All-Who?).

Tonight on
The Voice
we get to see Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton's teams compete as we get down to the 20 singers who will perform during the live shows.
'The Voice' Knockout Round #2 Performance Rankings
My predictions for who will make it proved horrible last night I only got half of the 10 winners correct.
Check out my picks for Team Blake and Team Xtina
to see if I do any better tonight.
Devyn DeLoera vs. Laura Vivas
It's a battle of two passionate, powerful female vocalists.
Devyn DeLoera ("I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston)
: Devyn is going big with a Whitney song. There are some good moments, but also some that I find pretty weak. She's solid, but she's not big and powerful enough for Whitney.
Laura Vivas ("I Need to Know" by Marc Anthony)
: This performance kind of scared me, like a Latina Grace Jones. She put in plenty of salsa moves and some Spanish to try and give her an edge.
Cee Lo finds Laura "caliente" and Adam chimes in that Cee Lo's "corazon is en fuego."
The Winner Is...DEVYN DELOERA!
Xtina basically admits she only chose Devyn because she has a better connection to her and Devyn is more in her wheelhouse. On the bright side, I'm 1/1 in terms of predictions!
Adriana Louise vs. Celica Westbrook
It's yet another battle of powerful female vocalists. Are you sensing a trend on Team Xtina?
Adriana Louise ("Already Gone" by Kelly Clarkson)
: She's definitely powerful and has a great glory note, but I don't hear much of a melody. This is the problem with wannabe Xtinas, they sing all over the place trying to do impressive runs.
Celica Westbrook ("Never Say Never" by Justin Bieber)
: Ooh, the Biebs! I don't know if this song translates that well to female pop star vocals, but she does a solid job. It's very youth-friendly and fun.
This is a coin flip situation. Adam concedes that Adriana is more Team Xtina. Blake and Adam get into a petty "pitchy vs. bitchy" squabble.
The Winner Is...ADRIANA LOUISE!
Is Xtina amassing a team of mini-clones?
Alessandra Guercio vs. Dez Duron
The ladies love Dez based on the screams.
Alessandra Guercio ("Take a Bow" by Rihanna)
: She tries way too hard to dirty up the song, Xtina-style. This is an emotional strong, but she tries too hard to force big vocal moments into every line.
Dez Duron ("Stuck on You" by Lionel Richie)
: It's a hot guy singing a sensitive song. The only way he could be more perfect is if he was holding a puppy. Vocally he's pretty decent, but nothing special.
Cee Lo is jealous that Dez is on a team full of fine looking ladies.
The Winner Is...DEZ DURON!
Hooray for hot guys! That's the right move, regardless of these performances, because Xtina already has two artists similar to Alessandra.
Chevonne vs. De'borah
It's curtains for Chevonne.
Chevonne ("Dancing with Myself" by Generation X)
:It's fun, silly, punk rock fluff.
De'borah ("You Found Me" by The Fray)
: She puts her distinct, amazing style on this song to create something totally unique and unexpected. Seriously, she'll be around for a long time in this competition.
The Winner Is...DE'BORAH!
Woohoo! De;borah is gonna go far.
Aquile vs. Sylvia Yacoub
I picked both of them to go to the live shows, so no matter who wins, I do too.
Aquile ("Grenade" by Bruno Mars)
:He's smooth, spot-on and great. It's easily one of the best of Team Xtina.
Sylvia Yacoub ("Fighter" by Christina Aguilera)
: Wow, doing Xtina is just shameless. She does a great job, but she's just doing Xtina. I guess this will test just how much of a narcissist Xtina is.
The coaches have a little fun at
American Idol
's expense when Adam compares Cee Lo to Randy Jackson and Blake asks who that is.
The Winner Is...SYLVIA YACOUB!
Boo! Xtina, way to admit that you love yourself THAT much that you pick someone just because she sang your song like you. Sylvia fills the same spot as Adriana and Devyn while Aquile would've appealed to a whole different demo in the live shows.
Gracia Harrison vs. Liz Davis
Gracia Harrison ("I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith)
: I thought she killed it and made it a great country song.
Liz Davis ("Gunpowder and Lead" by Miranda Lambert)
: She was fun, energetic and gave a much better performance than I'm used to from her. Though I think singing a song by the wife of the guy making the decision is a little manipulative.
The Winner Is...LIZ DAVIS!
Rudy Parris vs. Terry McDermott
Rudy Parris ("Forever" by Chris Brown)
: I think Kyle Gass put on a Criss Angel wig and somehow got on this show. He's just not very interesting at all.
Terry McDermott ("Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney)
: This is what happens when a great singer takes a great song and does it just right. This was an absolute slaughter.
The Winner Is...TERRY MCDERMOTT!
Collin McLoughlin vs. Michaela Paige
Collin McLoughlin ("Breakeven" by The Script
): "Aww, he's so cute." That about sums it up. He's good, but there's nothing special or unique.
Michaela Paige ("Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar)
: She's cool and fierce. And she's got a voice that is deceptively strong.
The Winner Is...MICHAELA PAIGE!
Julio Cesar Castillo vs. MarissaAnn
Julio Cesar Castillo ("Somebody to Love" by Justin Bieber)
: This sounded nasally and just not very good to me.
MarissaAnn ("Lady Marmalade" by Labelle)
: There were some good moments in this, but it was pieced together like Frankenstein's monster with all those runs and spoken word segments. Still, she was much better than Julio and I think Blake just wanted two guys on his team, and one to go after the Latino vote.
The Winner Is...JULIO CESAR CASTILLO!
Cassadee Pope vs. Suzanna Choffel
Cassadee Pope ("Payphone" by Maroon 5)
: She schooled Adam Levine and turned this into a beautiful song that sounds like it should only be performed by girls.
Suzanna Choffel ("Could You Be Loved" by Bob Marley)
: This was just way too relaxed and unimpressive for a Knockout performance.
The Winner Is...CASSADEE POPE!
So now we have our Top 20 singers. I did a lot better tonight, correctly predicting four each from Team Xtina and Team Blake. Interestingly enough, Adam Levine chose BOTH singers he stole to move forward, but the other three coaches all eliminated both of their stolen artists.
Next week is a big three-night, five-hour election week extravaganza. The live performance shows air Monday and Wednesday from 8pm-10pm with an hourlong results show on Thursday at 8pm that will reveal the Top 12.

Revision Information
- Reviewer: Brian Randall
- Review Date: 09/2012 -
- Update Date: 09/11/2012 -
The American Cancer Society has created a robust web site with detailed information for patients, families, and professionals. The information is provided in both English and Spanish. They provide numerous ways to get involved in your community and message boards where you can share your feelings, ideas, or questions about cervical cancer.
409 12th Street, SW
PO Box 96920
Washington, DC 20090-6920
NCI Public Inquiries Office
6116 Executive Blvd., Room 3036A
Bethesda, MD 20892-2580
The National Cancer Institute's web site provides comprehensive information and in an easy-to-understand format. In addition, because the NCI is the government's principal agency for cancer research and training, you can find a lot of information about clinical trails, research programs, and research funding.
7247 Hayvenhurst Ave., Suite A-7
Van Nuys, CA 91406
1-800-685-5531 (for patients and families)
1-818-909-3849 (office)
This site provides plenty of information, but its main focus is providing support to women facing cervical cancer and their families. The organization states on its website, "The NCCC places a very special and personal focus on providing outreach support to women and family members going through the battle against cancer."

Female Body Shapes
Take a look at the four female silhouettes below and choose the silhouette that resembles your own figure to find out more information to keep you fit and healthy.
Male Body shapes
Look at the three male silhouettes in the boxes and choose the silhouette that resembles your own shape to find out more information to keep you fit and healthy.
There are three different male shapes and four female, these are individually defined, looking at width, metabolism and weight gain. There are few overlaps from one type to another, helping to classify each and labelling it appropriately.
Body shape could also be called body type, purely because the shape of the body dictates its type.
The three male types – Ectomorphs, Mesomorphs and Endomorphs
The four female types – Apple, Hourglass, Pear and Rectangle
Without thoroughly analysing the research around body types it would be easy to claim that there are thousands of body types.
For some this may be there own personal view even after reading though this website, a closer look however helps identify all the classifications of the male and female body figure.
We have designed this website to give you all the facts about your body including the correct diet you should be consuming every week, a fitness routine that is designed for your shape and other aspects you should know including possible health issues you are prone to because of your figure.

Illustration by Diane Pierce
This very common carduelid finch of the southwest breeds in a variety of habitats at different elevations. It is often seen in small flocks feeding along brushy roadsides, particularly where thistle grows. Northern populations migrate south in winter, augmenting resident populations from southern California to southern Texas. It is often detected by its distinctive flight calls. Polytypic. Length 4.5" (11 cm).
Identification A relatively small, sexually dimorphic finch with a short, notched tail and a small, dark, conical bill. Breeding male: differs greatly depending on subspecies. In the "green-backed" hesperophila, the bright yellow underparts and black cap contrast with an olive-green back that can show some fine dark streaking. Narrow pale tips to the lesser coverts and wider white tips to the greater coverts form 2 distinct wing bars on a black wing. The white at the base of the primaries forms a white "tick" on the folded wing. The tertials are broadly edged in white. The mostly white bases to the outer tail feathers form distinctive white tail patches visible from underneath or when in flight. In the "black-backed" psaltria (mexicanus of some authors), bright yellow underparts contrast with entirely black upperparts. The wings and tail are similar to the hesperophila. Female: more uniform yellow-green, often yellower below and greener above, but less contrasting. The head does not have a black cap. The wings are similarly patterned to male, but they are decidedly duller. A distinctive white at base of primaries is present. Some females very dull and drab, mostly gray with some yellowish green wash to body; wings duller, but still with white "tick." Immature male: It lacks the full black cap of the adult, but it still has black on the forehead (hesperophila) or has some black intermixed with green on the back and crown (psaltria).
Geographic Variation There are 2 distinct subspecies in North America. The green-backed hesperophila is more widespread in the Southwest, with black-backed hesperophila breeding from Colorado to southern Texas. Intergradation occurs clinally between Texas and Colorado.
Similar Species Males are very distinct from other goldfinch species. The female American goldfinch is larger and has white undertail coverts, a wide buffy lower wing bar with very little white at the base for the flight feathers, and a pale pinkish bill. A very pale female lesser can show whitish undertail coverts, but it has a different wing pattern than all Americans and is always greener than the female Lawrence's.
Voice Calls: includes a plaintive, kittenlike tee-yee. Song: very complex jumble of musical phrases, often mimicking other species.
Status and Distribution Very common. Breeding: a variety of habitats at different elevations from arid lowlands to high pine forests, often found near water. Winter: northern and high elevation populations migrate to southern United States and Mexico, augmenting resident populations there. Vagrant: casual north and east of mapped range in Great Plains. Accidental in the East.

Does anyone else here subscribe to Comics on the Web from Crossgen? I really like it, and I was currious how popular it is.
If your not familiar with it, its about 2 bucks a month (USAian), and you can read all of crossgens back issues that are old enough to be in a trade (I think thats how far back).
You can check out the first issue of any searies they have up for free, if you want to just test it out.
They are beta testing v3.0, and it kind of sucks more than anything has sucked before in all time, but there is a link to the v2 on the front page.
Its hosted on a bunch of differnt sites. I use the link from RevolutionSF, but you can find it from Crossgens home page

In 2011, Taylor was given the reigns to the Saturday morning slot, where he enjoyed bringing local happenings and discussion to you for nearly two years.

Capri Breeze Battery-Operated Paper Lanterns, Set of 4 1 1
Perfect accent lighting Love the size, the look and the price! These are great for hanging and come with inner wire supports if you want to set them on a surface instead. If you don't use the supports, they collapse back down for super easy storage. But they are paper, so don't get these if you are looking for something you can leave outside. June 13, 2013

Selina M. Luger, MD
Ultima Vez Modificado: 24 de marzo del 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My daughter was diagnosed last March with Hodgkin's, stage 4. She had extensive tumors in the lungs, liver, and spleen. After 6 months of ABVD chemo they now show no activity on a PET scan. I have searched but have been unable to find much info on what might come next. She goes back next month for more. Unfortunately, she seems to be developing itchy skin and sight flushing of her skin. If the cancer is active again would another course of chemo be recommended or a bone marrow transplant?
I really appreciate your attention to this matter.
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The answer to this question really depends on why your daughter is having the symptoms you describe. Generally once primary therapy is completed and the patient is found to be in remission, patients undergo routine follow-up with scheduled visits, examinations and CT scans. There is not usually any additional therapy unless there is evidence of residual or recurrent disease. If indeed her disease is back, then you are correct that stem cell transplantation may be one of her treatment options, but when it would be done depends on what they find in her evaluation and her response to any additional chemotherapy should they feel that she needs some at this point.
Apr 5, 2012 - Treating patients with advanced-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma with a reduced-intensity, six-cycle BEACOPPescalated chemotherapy regimen is more effective and less toxic than eight cycles of the same regimen, according to a study published online April 4 in The Lancet.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Pistons have signed draft picks Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Tony Mitchell.
The team did not release terms of the deals. The Pistons used the eighth pick in the draft on Caldwell-Pope, a 6-foot-5 guard from Georgia who was the Southeastern Conference player of the year last season. Caldwell-Pope averaged 18.5 points per game as a sophomore in 2012-13 and shot 37 percent from 3-point range.
Caldwell-Pope was the first Georgia player since Dominique Wilkins in 1981 to sweep the major SEC player of the year awards.
The 6-foot-8 Mitchell, drafted in the second round, averaged 13 points and 8.5 rebounds last season as a sophomore for North Texas. He is also the school's career and single-season record holder for blocked shots.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJanuary 6, 2010
South Carolina Individual Income Tax Booklets Mass Mailing Discontinued
In an effort to go green, The South Carolina Department of Revenue will discontinue the mass mailing of the Individual Income Tax booklet directly to taxpayers. The decision to discontinue this service is due to the decreased use of this booklet, our efforts to cut government spending, as well as our commitment to the environment. Of the 2.4 million taxpayers, this effort will affect less than 10 percent with a cost savings to the state of an estimated $271,000. SCDOR encourages taxpayers to electronically file instead of mailing a paper tax return.
There are many advantages to electronically filing your tax return such as secure online transmission, quick confirmation of receipt of your return, fast refund with direct deposit and many more. South Carolina 2009 Individual Income Tax Forms and Instructions can be accessed one of several ways including online by visiting www.sctax.org/Forms+and+Instructions/default.htm ; by calling Fax-on-Demand at 1-800- 768-3676; or, by calling 803-898-5320 to request to receive a booklet via US mail. .
For additional information about electronic filing and/or Free File please visit our website at www.sctax.org and click on the Free File link in the upper right corner of the page. If you do not qualify for any of the Free File options please visit the Electronic Services link for reduced cost offers.
