Joanna Coles, Wendy Williams and the Inside Story on the New JFK Book
Forget about having to dig out a coat for the first time this season to ward off this morning's chilly temps, the real sign of fall here is that the power lunch scene is back in full swing at Michael's. Today the dining room was full of famous faces (Al Roker and wife Deborah Roberts at separate tables, Wendy Williams, Star Jones); entertainment bigwigs (Tad Smith, Nick Verbitsky); social swans (Margo Nederlander and pals); and more spinmeisters than there are Kardashian tabloid covers on any given week. You get the picture.
Fall also means the launch of a plethora of "important" titles and made-for-gift-giving books. I was joined today by Steve Koepp, editorial director of Time Home Entertainment, the book publishing division of Time Inc., who gave me the inside story on the company's impressive and incredibly diverse fall list. He came toting three books to illustrate the point: the just-published Zoom: Surprising Ways to Supercharge Your Career by Daniel Roberts, born out of Fortune's compulsively readable "40 Under 40″ annual list and featuring original interviews from headline-making top execs, including Marissa Mayer and Under Armour founder Kevin Plank; LIFE's bookazine The Wizard of Oz: 75 Years Along the Yellow Brick Road; and JFK: His Enduring Legacy (published by Time as both a book and bookazine).
Between bites of Cobb salad, Steve told me the book business is, in fact, thriving over at Time Inc. thanks to the company's multi-pronged approach to reaching all different readers with books that often connect them back to those people and eras that "resonate" and seem to grow more iconic over time. This is certainly true with The Day Kennedy Died from Life, which Steve described to me as "magisterial." Certainly sounds like it. Due out Oct. 15, ahead of the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the book is full of fascinating reporting, artifacts and images from Nov. 22, 1963. In fact, there is so much material that has been thoughtfully assembled that the book comes with a magnetic closure to hold a full-size exact replica of the issue of Life published immediately after Kennedy's assassination as well as a gatefold with the entire Zapruder film — all 486 frames — published for the first time. Reporting includes the "centerpiece" of the book: a narrative by Dick Stolley, then the magazine's Los Angeles bureau chief who flew into Dallas after the shooting and recounts his experience covering the event that made the world stand still.

|I have 800-1000 gallon, well planted pond in NJ with an assortment of 9 goldfish(fantails, comets, shubunkins). Would banded killifish be a suitable companion for the goldfish or would it be a problem?
Follow-Up Postings:
| Hi
Not familiar with the species ,do you have a latin name?? Most of the killifish that I'm familiar with are not very aggressive . but most are very tropical
- Posted by terrestrial_man 9 (email@example.com) on Tue, May 15, 12 at 4:48
|I see no problem for your goldfish and with a well planted pond it should fit in OK if it can find the kind of crustaceans and plant matter that it eats.

Mario hits a new low in this title, as he runs away from a mutilated raccoon and refuses to return the skin he's freshly stolen from it. Wait, what?
You'll take on the role of a skinless raccoon dog - or tanooki, as they're called in Japan - and bounce towards Mario on a blood-soaked landscape. In order to streamline the game and underline the furious plight of all tanookis (and not because this game is a godawful rush job or anything) all controls aside from a jump button have been removed. If you manage to catch Mario, you'll knock the shit out of him and nick your skin back. Sorted!
Doesn't skinning normally kill raccoons? Hey, we don't know for sure, we're not scientists
Mario can, of course, fly. This is because of that tanooki skin – you'll remember in older games, and in his latest title Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS, he can change into a sort of raccoon onesie and gain moderate powers of flight. Clearly he gets these onesies by ripping the skin off still-living animals and then letting them bleed to death.
Raccoons can't fly, right? Right. Sure. Just wanted to make sure we had our facts straight.
Obviously this isn't an official Nintendo product, instead being produced by This Is Pop for chirpy reactionary animal rights group PETA, who we used to think were pretty cool for having naked ladies promote their products. But now they trot out this reheated turd of an attention grab, and we're feeling less sure about them.
We're struggling to imagine that PETA can still be taking themselves seriously, and aren't just pants-on-head lunatics sat in a fancy boardroom somewhere, spinning a massive wheel of popular culture and deciding to attack whatever game it lands on with incredibly spurious claims.
Well, this picture makes sense
"Hey!" one of them says, spilling his organic carrot juice down his shirt and standing up quickly, but unsteadily, from his computer. "This new Assassin's Creed game. The one that the wheel landed on yesterday. There's skunk oil bombs in it."
"Is there?" says his associate, her mouth half-full of free-range tofu.
"Yes! Innocent skunks are having their bum glands unlawfully tampered with by a bearded Italian lothario! Let's make a game where you play the skunk trying to avoid his hideous probing fingers."
"I like that! Yes! I like it! Let's call it, uh, Ezio Interferes with Skunk Bums. Get This is Pop on the line, we're on to a winner!"
And so on. There is literally nothing to like about this game. Nintendo aren't endorsing the skinning of raccoons any more than they're endorsing doing mushrooms, subjugating lizards, stamping on turtles until their shells pop off or abstaining from sex before marriage.1 Attempting to say they are with such a lazy piece of propaganda only weakens PETA's argument.
What do the FHM review scores mean?
Super Tanooki Skin 2D is available to play at PETA.org, but really, don't

Grace Park is out, but 10 other golfers from the East Valley have qualified to play in next week's U.S. Women's Open at Newport Country Club in Newport, R.I.
Highlighting the list were three amateurs from Scottsdale — Amanda Blumenherst, Esther Choe and Taylore Karle. Also moving successfully through sectional qualifying were Michelle Saiki of Tempe and Krista Bartlett of Scottsdale.
Five pros from Scottsdale were exempt through various categories required by the U.S. Golf Association. They are Tina Barrett, Maria Hjorth, Pat Hurst, Cristie Kerr and Carin Koch.
Park, the former Arizona State All-American who lists her address as Phoenix, was forced to withdraw earlier this week due to a sore neck. Doctors have told Park that the latest injury is perhaps related to the back pain that hampered her for most of the 2005 season. Doctors urged her to rest for the next three to four weeks.
"I knew something was not right, but that's certainly not what I wanted to hear from my doctors at this point in the season,'' said Park, who has seven top-10 finishes in her last 13 majors, including a victory in the 2004 Kraft Nabisco Championship.
"I'm obviously sorry I have to miss the U.S. Open. But right now my top priority has to be getting fully healthy again.''
Blumenherst is perhaps the top amateur in the 156-player field. She was recently named college player of the year and first team All-American after completing her freshman season at Duke, which won the NCAA Championship.
This year, the U.S. Women's Open received 1,097 entries, down by approximately 100 entries from last year's record number. Among those who attempted to qualify for national championship was Tempe's Julie Yang, who at 10 years was the youngest player who entered.

Here's our Curled Dragon in Copper Patina, to match the other members of her family in Copper Patina. These Curled Dragons are pieces that had slight casting defects. Normally we would have needed to destroy these, but we have devised a way to make use of otherwise perfectly good dragons by painting them with a textured "distressed antique" finish that enhances the surface flaws with patina and makes them beautiful. A few random scales are highlighted with brighter gold or copper which resembles fall leaves. We all think they are gorgeous, they look like weathered cast bronze. We have given this batch deep red eyes and red jewels. These dragons vary in texture and color slightly because every one of these dragons is an individual.

2013 Reading Challenge
Tessa has read 9 books toward her goal of 52 books.
Thanks for tuning into another segment of my self-imposed challenge to read one book per week this year. I'm tracking my progress on Goodreads, an awesome website that you should definitely check out, and maybe start your own reading challenge!
I really only started this because:
I heard from someone that it was a fun and enjoyable read. That someone was wrong. The plot was kind of a gender-reverse-Twilight, with witches instead of vampires, set in a really stereotypical version of small town South Carolina. It's heartbreaking to read 500+ pages and look back and realize that basically nothing happened. Extremely repetitive writing, and the main characters were very flat and not believable in the slightest. The thing that bugged me most was how 90% of the book was spent describing this tediously detailed world with all these specific rules - none of which actually held true in the final chapters.
I really only finished this because:
I had plans to see the movie. And I hate not finishing books.
This is hopefully the last time I'll let someone convince me to read a teen supernatural romance, but it seems I'll never learn!
1/5 Stars
(On another note, the movie was not too bad! There were really clever moments in the screenplay. However, basically anything good that happened onscreen was a deviation from the novel. Plus who can say no to Jeremy Irons. Yum!)

5/30 in Yankee History
1992: By beating the Milwaukee Brewers' 8-1' Scott Sanderson of the Yankees becomes the 9th pitcher to beat all 26 major league teams in his career. He joins Nolan Ryan' Tommy John' Don Sutton' Mike Torrez' Rick Wise' Gaylord Perry' Doyle Alexander and Rich Gossage as the only pitchers to accomplish the feat.
1986: The Yanks and Sox complete a six-player swap with Ron Kittle' along with Wayne Tolleson and catcher Joel Skinner coming to New York. The White Sox receive-again-Ron Hassey' along with Carlos Martinez and a player to be named later (Bill Lindsey). Hassey was traded from the Cubs to the Yanks in December' 1984' back to Chicago (Sox) in December' 1985' back to the Bronx in February' and now to Chicago.
1968: New York and Washington split' with the Yankees winning the opener' 13-4' and the Senators the nitecap' 6-2. In the first game' Mickey Mantle goes 5-for-5 with two home runs' and 5 RBIs for New York. He sits out the second game. Mantle's last 5-for-5 game was on May 24' 1956.
1967: Whitey Ford, nearing 41' announces his retirement from baseball because of an elbow injury. His final appearance was a start in Detroit on May 21st' but he lasted just one inning. The stylish lefthander closes out with 236 career wins and only 106 losses for a .690 percentage. He played in only 7 games this season.
1961: Roger Maris' Mickey Mantle' and Moose Skowron each belt 2 homers' tying the ML record for most players (on one club) with multiple HRs in a 9-inning game. Yogi Berra adds a round-tripper as New York win at Fenway Park 12-3.
1960: At the Stadium' the Yanks earn a split with the Senators when' in game 2' Yogi Berra belts a two-run homer in the 8th inning. When Mickey Mantle makes the catch for the final out' he is surrounded by a group a fans' one of whom punches him in the face as he races for the dugout. Because of the incident' the Yankees announce that ushers using ropes – a tactic used at one point with DiMaggio – will escort Mantle off the field.
1956: Mickey Mantle hits one of the most memorable HRs in his career' in the 2nd game of a doubleheader with the Washington Senators. He tags a pitch from Camilo Pascual that comes within 18 inches of leaving Yankee Stadium I' something never accomplished by any major leaguer. The ball was still climbing when it caromed off the upper-stand facade' about 396 feet from home plate. Estimates are that the ball could have traveled more than 600 feet. It is Mantle's 20th dinger of the season; no one else has ever hit 20 HRs before June. Mantle also goes long in the opener' off Pedro Ramos' with 2 on as New York sweeps' 4-3 and 12-5. http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1956/B05301NYA1956.htm
1952: At New York' Mickey Mantle's homer in the 3rd is all the scoring the Yanks can muster against Bobby Shantz, as the 'Mighty Molecule' strikes out 11 on Memorial Day. Mantle doubles off Shantz in the 14th' but the A's hold on for a 2-1 victory. Dave Philley knocks home the winner. In game 2' Bob Hooper loses a shutout with 2 out in the 9th' but wins' 4-2.
1951: In a doubleheader loss with Boston' Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle strikes out 3 times in the opener' and twice more to start
the 2nd game: Stengel lifts the slugger in the middle of the game for Cliff Mapes. In the opener' Ted Williams scores from second on a sacrifice bunt' and then ties the game with a HR. Vern Stephens' 15th inning homer off Specs Shea wins it for Boston' 11-10. Williams then ties the nitecap with a double and Stephens' single drives him home with the game winner as Boston triumphs' 9-4. Ray Scarborough and Bill Wight are today's winners. The loss drops the Yanks into second place' where they'll stay for a month.
1941: The Red Sox and Yanks split' New York winning the opener and Boston trouncing New York in the nitecap' 13-0. The Sox cap it off with a triple steal. Ted Williams laces 6 hits in the doubleheader' while Joe DiMaggio hits in both games to run his streak to 16. It is not a
good day for the DiMag' suffering from a cold' as he commits an error in the opener and 3 more in the nitecap.
1938:The largest crowd in Yankee Stadium history' 83'533' see Red Ruffing end Lefty Grove's 8-game winning streak in a 10-0 victory over the Red Sox. Six thousand fans are turned away' and 511 are given refunds because there is no place to sit. The Yankees also take the second game of the doubleheader' 5-4' in a game made famous for a fight between Yankee outfielder Jake Powell and Boston player-manager Joe Cronin. The brawl starts when Boston pitcher Archie McKain hits Powell in the stomach with a pitch. Powell's charge to
the mound is intercepted by Cronin and the two pummel each other for 2-3 minutes. Cronin and Powell are ejected but continue the fight in the area beneath the stands' until they are separated by Yankee players. Both players are fined and suspended for 10 days.
Jake Powell
1936: At the Stadium' a crowd of 71'000 watch the Bronx Bombers sweep the Nats' 7-1 and 6-1. DiMaggio has 3 doubles in the nitecap in support of Red Ruffing's 2-hitter.
1934: Washington's Earl Whitehill pitches a one-hitter' allowing a 9th-inning single by Ben Chapman, to defeat Lefty Gomez 1-0. In the nitecap' Yankee reliever Burleigh Grimes pitches the last 4 innings to pick up his 269th win' 5-4' in 11 innings. It is his first AL appearance and the last win for the Cooperstown-bound Grimes, as well as the last legal win by a spitballer.
1932: A plaque in memory of Miller Huggins' former Yankee manager' is dedicated at the Stadium' the first of an array of monuments erected in the ballpark. The Yanks then sweep the Red Sox' 7-5 and 13-3 to increase their lead to 5 games over Washington.
1912: The Highlanders play their first game at the Polo Grounds. The A's roll, 7-1, with Jim 'Hippo' Vaughn taking the loss for New York.
1905: The Yankees sell veteran outfielder John Anderson to Washington.
Anderson in his days with St.Louis
5/29 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1995: Derek Jeter makes his Yankee debut. The much-heralded prospect makes a less than stellar impression, however, going 0 for 5 in a 12-inning, 8-7 loss at Seattle.
On other 29ths of May…
2009: On the road, the Yankees top the Indians 3-1. Mariano Rivera saves an Andy Pettitte win for the 58th time, setting a new record for a pitcher duo; the old mark had been held by Dennis Eckersley and Bob Welch.
2000: At the Stadium, the Yankees defeat the A's Omar Olivares 4-1 on Andy Pettitte's 2-hitter. In the 6th inning' Oakland second baseman (and former Yankee) Randy Velarde turns an unassisted triple play' just the 11th in history' on a line drive by Shane Spencer. With runners on first and second running with the pitch' Velarde tags Jorge Posada as he nears second' then touches the bag to retire Tino Martinez. In 1995' while with the Bombers' Velarde turned a UATP against the Dodgers in spring training following the strike.
1997: In Toronto' Tino Martinez hits his 20th homer – his third in three games-and David Cone strikes out 12 to lead New York over Toronto' 4-0. Jeff Nelson strikes out 3 Jays in relief. Martinez raised his RBI total to 56 with a single in the first off Woody Williams (1-5) and a solo shot in the third.
Off the field, the Yankees finally agree to terms with Japanese pitcher Hideki Irabu' signing the fireballer to a 4-year contract worth $12.8 million. The deal includes a signing bonus of $8.5 million.
1982: At Minnesota' the Yanks put runners on first (Graig Nettles) and second (Bobby Murcer) with no outs. When Roy Smalley strikes out on a ball 4 pitch from Terry Felton' Murcer attempts to steal third. But Sal Butera's throw beats him so badly that he retreats to second, only to find Nettles there. Gary Gaetti tags Murcer who is standing safely alone on the base' and then throws to Kent Hrbek to catch Nettles heading back to first. Murcer then tries for third again, and Hrbek's throw to Felton covering completes the bizarre triple play. Alas' Felton' 0-8 coming into the game gets a no-decision' and will lose another 5 to finish his career with an 0-16 record.
1978: During a 2-0 Yankee victory at Cleveland, Billy Martin flies into a rage and heaves 2 handfuls of dirt on home plate umpire Terry Cooney's back after being ejected for arguing ball and strike calls. He will be suspended by AL president Lee MacPhail for a week.
1976: Jerry Hairston jr. is born. Happy 34th, Jerry!
1965: Mike McNally, utility infielder for the first three Yankee pennant winners, and the first man to start at third base for the team in a World Series game, dies at the age of 72.
1961: At Fenway' Ike Delock outduels Whitey Ford to beat the Yankees' 2-1. New York's only tally is provided by Mickey Mantle's first homer in two weeks.

I own a gun, in fact, several. I use them for hunting. I don't shoot humans, but some people do, as evidenced in that horrific school massacre in Connecticut.
I'm not suggesting a law banning gun ownership, which wouldn't pass and, according to the Supreme Court, would be unconstitutional. But the court's Second Amendment ruling wasn't so rigid that it outlawed all ways of keeping firearms out of the wrong hands. We need to make sure guns and ammunition aren't where psychopaths or careless people can easily get at them.
(Why did you buy that pistol when your chances of ever using it in self-defense were less than the likelihood that you'd shoot yourself in the foot? Or shoot your teenager coming in late some night?)
I worry about people who own guns but don't really know what they're for. I'll mention a couple of examples from my own life, one where I could have been killed and one where I might have shot someone.
The first occurred when I was 7 or 8 years old and visiting a kid across the street. He crawled up in a cabinet and brought down his father's pistol. I don't remember whether he pointed it at me and pulled the trigger, but he might have. Obviously it wasn't loaded or I wouldn't be writing this.
The other incident was when I was a teenager. I was up north with some people who stopped at the cottage of a man they knew, a retired Chicago policeman who had a collection of small arms he may have confiscated from criminals. One of the weapons was curious. It was round, with a barrel protruding from one side. It was small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, with the barrel sticking out between your fingers. When you squeezed it, it fired. You could walk up to an unsuspecting person, squeeze the weapon and bang!, he was dead.
I was handling the gun when someone told me it was loaded. Why a man who'd spent his career dealing with violence would leave a loaded weapon lying around is beyond me.
We have organizations in this country like the National Rifle Association dedicated in their opposition to gun control laws, and they try to encourage responsible gun ownership. They should be working even harder to discourage mass gun ownership because it can put deadly weapons in the hands of irresponsible people. This may mean they should (gasp) support intelligent gun control laws. It would only partially solve the problem, but a partial solution is better than none. For one thing, who really needs an assault weapon?
The suggestion has been made that if the Connecticut teachers had been armed they could have prevented the classroom tragedy. But how many first-grade teachers are likely to pack a pistol in case a killer shows up?
A bunch of innocent school kids would be alive today if deadly weapons hadn't been available to a troubled youth. Those school kids could have been yours.

Four Receive All-UMAC Recognition in Women's Soccer
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Four women's soccer players were given all-conference recognition Monday with the announcement of postseason awards, with Bethany Schultz being named Co-Rookie of the Year and First Team All-UMAC, while Kadie Drake, Hannah Mattek and Allison Snyder were named Honorable Mention All-UMAC.
Schultz led the team in goals (12), points (34), shots (102) and shots on goal (49), and finished second in assists (ten). Her totals also put her first in the UMAC in shots and shots per game, second in goals, points, and points per game, and third in assists.
Drake missed several games in the middle of the conference season due to injury, but still managed to finish the season with ten goals, eight of which came in conference play. She also finished with four assists, 34 shots and 21 shots on goal.
Mattek joined Schultz as a first-year impact player, leading MLC with 11 assists on the season, which put her in a first-place tie for most in the conference. Mattek also added nine goals to give her 29 points on the season, which put her third in the UMAC.
Snyder finished the season with a goals against average of 2.36 in 15 games as the primary goalkeeper for the Knights. She finished second in the UMAC in saves (122) and third in save percentage (.797).
MLC finished the season 8-11-1, and finished sixth in the UMAC with a conference record of 5-8-1.

Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever and Rose Fever) and Chronic Nasal Congestion
DescriptionAn in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of common nasal allergies.
Alternative NamesDecongestants; Hay Fever; Rhinitis
Histamine is one of the chemicals released when antibodies overreact to allergens and is the cause of many symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Antihistamines have the following benefits:
Experts recommend that patients take them before an anticipated allergy attack if possible.
Many antihistamines are available and include short-acting and long-acting forms. They are available in tablet, nasal-inhaler, eye drop, and syrup form. Antihistamines are generally categorized as first- and second-generation, which generally are based on whether they have ingredients that cause greater or lesser sedation.
There are some notes of caution when taking any generation antihistamine:
First-Generation Antihistamines
First-Generation Antihistamines Ingredients and Brand Names. The older, so-called first generation antihistamines include:
First-generation antihistamines contain compounds called anticholinergics, which tend to produce the side effects that differentiate this group from second-generation antihistamines.
Side Effects.
Further Notes on Drowsiness from First-Generation Antihistamines. Drowsiness is the most distressing side effect reported from first-generation antihistamines, and is potentially serious. Some evidence indicates this effect poses a higher than average risk for work-related and automobile accidents than alcohol, narcotics, or prescription sedatives. Of interest, however, was a 2001 study suggesting that first-generation antihistamines do not have the same effect on children. In the study, children who took Benadryl had no greater impairment of alertness or learning than children who took loratadine (Claritin), one of the common second-generation antihistamines, which are supposed to cause less sleepiness. In fact, a major 2003 analysis could find no strong differences in effects on sedation in general between the first- and second-generation antihistamines.Still, experts caution against the first-generation antihistamines for people most at risk from sedative effects, particularly elderly individuals.
To offset the sedative effect, the following tips may be helpful:
It should be noted that sedation lessens over time.
Second-Generation (Nonsedating) Antihistamines
The newer second-generation antihistamines do not contain anticholinergics and so do not usually cause drowsiness to the extent that the first generation antihistamines do. They are then sometimes referred to collectively as nonsedating antihistamines.
Of note, a major 2003 analysis reported that although Benedryl, the most common first-generation antihistamine, had a more negative effect on daily activities than the newer antihistamines, they differences were modest. Researchers in the study concluded that no clear distinction exists between the first- and second-generation antihistamines. In addition, the newer agents are also more expensive, since most require a prescription. (As many become available of the counter, costs should drop.)
Brand Names. The second-generation agents include the following:
The FDA has ruled that Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec are safe for over-the-counter use, with Claritin the first to be approved. Studies suggest that cetirizine (Zyrtec) is more effective than either of these other agents in improving symptoms, including in children, although cetirizine causes more drowsiness at higher doses. One 2001 comparison study suggested that Claritin was more effective than Allegra in improving symptoms in a shorter period of time.
Zyrtec and Claritin are approved for those under five years of age, although most appear to be safe in children. Zyrtec is the only antihistamine approved for both indoor and outdoor allergies and for infants as young as six months. Both are available in syrup form. Studies with Zyrtec have reported fewer symptoms in children allergic to dust mites, and a 2002 study reported that infants with allergies who were given Zyrtec were much less likely to develop asthma later on than untreated infants. Claritin at this time is generally the preferred agent for young people, however, because it has the least negative effect on concentration and learning. Women who are pregnant or nursing should avoid these medications unless recommended by a physician.
Side Effects and Precautions.
Drug and Food Interactions. Two earlier second generation drugs, terfenadine (Seldane) and astemizole (Hismanal), in rare cases, caused dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities, particularly in high doses or in people who have liver disease or are taking certain other medications or ingesting grapefruit juice. Both Seldane and Hismanal have been taken off the market. Allegra, Zyrtec, and Claritin do not appear to pose any of the dangers associated with Seldane.
Until more is known, anyone who takes a second-generation antihistamine, though, should probably avoid or use with caution combinations with grapefruit juice or the drugs that caused problems with Seldane and Hismanal. Such medications include the following:
Nasal-Spray Antihistamines
Azelastine (Astelin) and levocabastine (Livostin) are available in nasal spray form. They can reduce nasal congestion as well as allergy symptoms. Both reduce symptoms, although azelastine may be more effective in some patients. Their disadvantages are a bitter taste, drowsiness, and expense. They are not as effective as steroid nasal sprays.
Combination Antihistamines and Decongestants
Many prescription and non-prescription products that combine antihistamines and decongestants are available. A small sample of these combinations sold over the counter includes Allerest, Sudafed Severe Cold Formula, Vicks DayQuil, Benadryl Allergy/Sinus, Contac Day/Night Allergy & Sinus. Prescription combinations include Claritin-D, Allegra D, and Zyrtec-D. They may be effective for all symptoms within 60 minutes, with congestion clearing up first. As a rule, children should not be given combination remedies, which can cause headaches, agitation, and loss of appetite.

Abbie Jacobs, MD
It is an exciting time to be involved in Family Medicine. As people continue to learn the important and crucial role family physicians play in our nation's health, we continue to enjoy the important work we do. Although our core values in family medicine have not changed, we now have many more tools to care for our patients. The explosion of medical information makes critical thinking and efficient application to individual patient care ever challenging and always interesting. There is so much to learn that it is never boring! I have enjoyed my role as a teacher and the program director throughout the years, watching the residents thrive in their careers.
On a personal note, I live in Hoboken and have fun being a "family doc" in my community.
Puneet Babbar MD
As a family medicine physician, I find that our potential is limitless. My experience, throughout my career of over 13 years has been professionally rewarding, encompassing clinical, academic and administrative aspects of medicine.
In addition to practicing as a family doc, I am a certified Medical Review Officer, have worked as an Employee Health Physician, Medical Director of a hospital based ambulatory care site, and appointed faculty member to academic institutions, where I have had the privilege of participating in the education of residents and medical students. Most recently, in my prior position, I was Chief Medical Officer responsible for overseeing a large multispecialty health center and its satellite sites, while supervising a large clinical staff.
I bring this broad experience to Hoboken University Medical Center as the Medical Director of our outpatient medical home, and to the residency program in the form of a quality assurance and practice management curriculum to prepare confident residents as they transition from residency to reality. As their outpatient supervisor, I also work with our New York Medical College and Ross University School of Medicine medical school students on various practice and quality improvement projects.
We are skilled as family practitioners in comprehensive patient and family oriented medicine which allows us expertise in community-based care at an exciting time when primary care physicians are at the forefront of our health care system. I continue to be excited by the scope of this field and the potential it holds.
Steven Garcia, MD
Growing up locally, I have a strong sense of community that extends to all aspects of my practice. As a bilingual provider, on a daily basis, I experience the satisfaction of knowing that my patients have received a level of care and understanding that cannot be obtained when translators are necessary. I still enjoy seeing patients, and throughout my career I have sought to convey that excitement to all those that work with me.
Joel Latorre, MD
I was born in Chile and raised in Brazil. I have traveled extensively in both my professional and personal life, giving me the reputation of the world traveler in our group. Since medical school, my focus of interest has been HIV Primary Care. In this field I have found the opportunity to apply the Family Medicine philosophy to a new and exciting area of medicine.
In my role as the director of our HIV Program and as a Clinical Consultant for the federal government on HIV Medicine, I have had the opportunity to interact with individuals all over the country and abroad. My goal is to continue passing on my passion for this field to all of my patients, residents, and medical students.
John C. Murphy, MD
The most wonderful aspect of being a family medicine physician is not having the limitations of age or pregnancy status that restrict other physicians. I can take care of a young woman, her husband, and her elderly mother. When it is time for children, I can treat her during pregnancy, deliver the baby, and then treat the baby. There is no loss of continuity. Instead of being one of many doctors that a family visits, I can be the doctor for the entire family.
Marylin Pierre-Louis, MD
I grew up in New York and performed my family medicine residency, as well as my geriatric fellowship in New Jersey.
My particular areas of interest are bioethics and geriatrics. I look forward to working with patients with dementia and their families. Healthy aging is my focus and I work with seniors of all ages with complex medical problems. I have developed a Palliative Care Department at Hoboken University Medical Center. I teach our residents geriatric medicine, as well as end-of-life care. I am the Director of Continuing Medical Education at Hoboken University Medical Center, and I am also the Director of the medical students' rotation in family medicine. We have students rotating from New York Medical College and Ross University School of Medicine. I meet with the students on a weekly basis and instruct them in quality assurance measures and research initiatives.
Sophie Pierog, MD
I am the pediatrician of the program. I was formerly a neonatologist in the New York City Hospital System and then the Chair of the Pediatric Residency Program at Jersey City Medical Center.
I now act as the pediatric curriculum coordinator and consultant for the residents' pediatric patients. Since we are also the "School Physician" for the Hoboken School System and Health Start Program, the residents have the opportunity to assist in all student health program issues, including sports physicals and other community preventive health programs. My long experience in practicing pediatrics and teaching residents about the child patient has been very satisfying and rewarding. I always welcome the opportunity to show the residents that they can have a major impact on children and their families, promoting a "Medical Home," ensuring that children are healthy and reaching their full potential.
Harini Kumar, MD
I am proud to be a New Jerseian, being raised in West Windsor, NJ and attending medical school at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson. Here I developed an interest in urban underserved medicine, while working in student run clinics in Camden, NJ. I completed my residency in Family and Social Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY. I developed a passion for education and teaching that led me to the faculty development fellowship at Montefiore. Through this fellowship, I improved my teaching skills through a wide range of activities across the medical education continuum. I spent time teaching in both the classroom and clinic setting. I also completed a Master's level certificate in medical education, through which I acquired skills in both curriculum development and evaluation. My fellowship educational research project involved implementing and evaluating a curriculum on the topic of building resident comfort in communication skills during the gynecological exam.
I am excited to be a new faculty member here at Hoboken University Medical Center. I am eager to work on curriculum development and education scholarship activities. I look forward to teaching both residents and students, and helping to inspire the next generation of family physicians!
Giuliana Capone, Psy.D.
As a clinical psychologist, it is exciting to teach the family medicine residents, students, and staff about the psychological aspects of a patient's being. Physical and emotional characteristics are intertwined and it is essential for family medicine physicians to understand the connection between the two. Residents develop a growing understanding of how to treat the "whole" person. As the Director of Behavioral Medicine, I encourage residents to engage in psychological exploration of the self and the patient. As a clinician, I have extensive experience working with individuals with serious mental illness, substance abuse, trauma and rehabilitation psychology.
OB/GYN Faculty
Dineasha Potter-McQuilkin, MD FACOG
I was born and raised in Hudson County, so it is very exciting for me to be involved with the Family Medicine Residency Program here at Hoboken University Medical Center. I completed my residency training at Drexel University College of Medicine/St. Peter's University Hospital program after which I became board certified in Ob/Gyn. I enjoy teaching the residents about prenatal care, office gynecology, infertility, contraception and preconception counseling. I encourage the residents to gain knowledge in all aspects of Women's Health which will aid them in becoming a very competent family physician.
Osbert Fernandez, M.D.
I am double-boarded both in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine. I am a member of the faculty of the NYMC Family Medicine Residency Program at HUMC of which I am an alumnus. I performed a residency in OB/GYN after completing my family medicine training at HUMC. It was a joy for me to return to "my program" to assist in the education of the family medicine residents. The family medicine residents perform their OB/GYN rotations with me at the Neighborhood Health Center and at HUMC. I am very happy to work closely with the residents and share my knowledge and expertise with them. My particular areas of interest are medical management of missed abortion, endometriosis, high- risk obstetrics and laparoscopy.

Nice Salespeople, but don't waste your time!
Posted by
FREDERICK, MARYLAND -- I purchased a complete white, leather sofa set for my living room & a brown sectional for my family room. The first attempt at delivery was the leather set only (the sectional was not available yet). It came with a scratch in the material, so I sent it back. They took it back and said they'd send me a new one.
2nd attempt at delivery: looked like someone made a lazy attempt with a do-it-yourself leather kit. Had a white spot the size of a half-dollar in a totally different shade of white than the rest of the sofa. It was the same exact sofa because I remember where the scratch was on the first one they sent. Pointed it out to the driver and he said, "Wow, that probably shouldn't have even left the warehouse that way." To make that delivery even sweeter, the sectional had an industrial-sized staple in the fabric, which had torn a hole in the material.
I figured 2 days of wasting my time was enough. I sent everything back on the truck and cancelled the entire order. They did offer me a discount to try deliver my order again, but I declined. The salespeople were very nice throughout the entire buying & returning process. I did not get any grief from the store when I went back to the store to get all of my money back.
To wrap it up, do not waste your time and energy in this store. It is not worth it. They do not take care of your items while delivering and/or they are sending stuff that is already defective. The fact that they tried to pass on the leather set as new when it was the same one they had originally delivered is pretty despicable.
Be aware and wherever you shop, check your items as soon as they get off the truck. Don't let them tell you that a "technician" will come and check it out. Refuse the delivery. Doing this saved me a ton of headaches and made my refund much easier. I understand how tedious and time-consuming choosing furniture can be, so that is why I wrote this review. We were so disappointed and had to start the shopping process all over again!

Issue not resolved I was blown off and didn't even realize it
Posted by
DUBLIN, OHIO -- In late November I purchased a sectional sofa from Value City Furniture in Dublin OH. I specifically asked when I examined the showroom sectional about the seam where the two pieces connected, I was told that they bolt together. I tugged on the two pieces to ensure that this was the case, they wear definitely bolted together. We purchased the sectional sofa and arranged for delivery on the following Tuesday. My disabled husband was home when the sectional was delivered. He called me to say that they had dropped it off and did not connect it together. I called the store to explain that the sofa had not been connected together and was told by the store manager that this particular model was not supposed to be connected. I explained to him that I specifically asked and was assured when I purchased it that it bolted together and even tugged on it to make sure. He explained that on carpet it will not slide, I explained that I have hardwood floors and something that does not bolt together will slide and would not be acceptable and that he would need to have his driver return to pick up the sectional. He then stated that It's not supposed to bolt together however that doesn't mean that they can't bolt it together, (obviously he at this point was saying anything to get me off the phone.) He stated that he would order a connect kit and have a technician call me to connect the two pieces together. That was at the end of November, this is the end of December. I 100% certain that there is no such thing as a connect kit and that he was just trying to get me off the phone.

Don't Waste Your Money!!!!!!

We spent over $1400 on a sectional and ottoman set at VCF and were very disappointed.. first of all their slime ball salesman sold us on some stain guard for an extra $150 since I was due to have a baby in 2 days and "kids spill things". Turns out what we paid for there was a tiny bottle of stain remover that sucks.. I use resolve and get better results.. and that costs less than $5. Within the first month the seams were ripping.. they sent someone out to repair it but they missed some spots. Right before our warranty expired we called the store to make sure all the stuff wrong with it got fixed before it was too late but they told us it was already too late. the bottom by the arm is torn all the way across, and other seams are ripping too.. it looks like crap. When we called them they told us we could bring it in ourselves piece by piece and they "might" be able to fix it.. depending on the damage. We could have gotten a much better living room set for what we paid there. I just wish I hadn't been ready to pop any second so we could have shopped around. So if you read this PLEASE DON'T SHOP THERE!!!!!

You agreed to the "stain guard" charge. You could have said no.
As for the rips and the warranty, you say the rips started within the first month, and they did not repair them. Then you say you waited until the warranty was almost up before calling them back to fix it. How long is the warranty?

They said that the stain guard was something they put on the couch for you to "avoid stains" when really it's just a little bottle of stuff they give you to remove them.. when they first came out to repair the rips they missed some but I wasn't there to tell them.. their piece of crap furniture shouldn't be falling apart that soon anyway. I don't have time to sit around waiting on their slime ball employees to show up every time something happens to their poorly made furniture. They shouldn't be in business. They sell overpriced garbage and use piece of crap lying sales people to do so.
VCF/ASF Corporate Customer Service on 01/04/2010:

That's not nice bringing cancer into this. That's a shameful thing to say.
Details would help on what makes them have the worst customer service, and what does your sectional have to do with this??
Thank you.
