Jonathan Ellen, MD Named President of All Children's Hospital
Since arriving at All Children's in 2011, Dr. Ellen has led the effort for the development of mission-centric research and education initiatives, including a new pediatric residency program and translational research programs that have strengthened the integration of research and education with outstanding clinical care at the 259-bed St. Petersburg hospital.
"We are impressed with the vision, knowledge and experience Dr. Ellen brings to the position," said Jack Kirkland, Chairman of the All Children's Hospital Board of Trustees. "We are certain that we have selected the right person to lead All Children's in its journey to become a top pediatric academic medical center."
All Children's Hospital became a fully integrated member of Johns Hopkins Medicine in April 2011. Since then, the hospital has established a new Office of Medical Education and Office of Research, launched a clinical research mentorship program and created new opportunities for collaboration between clinicians in Baltimore and St. Petersburg.
Dr. Ellen joined the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine faculty in 1999 and in 2006 was named vice chair of the Department of Pediatrics and director of the Center for Child and Community Health Research. In the same year, he also became director of the Department of Pediatrics and Neonatology at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he already had established a growing research program to complement the academic and clinical missions of that campus. He is a professor of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a professor in the Department of Epidemiology and the Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Raised in Philadelphia, Dr. Ellen graduated from Temple University Medical School and completed his residency in pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He completed a fellowship in adolescent medicine at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) in addition to fellowships in sexually transmitted diseases at UCSF, the San Francisco Department of Health and the CDC. He has received numerous grant awards from the NIH and CDC and has authored more than 140 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 30 reviews, editorials and book chapters.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Nice Postcards.
I love this design and really love that I was able to customize all the colours and personalize everything! For the price I did think the quality and crispness of the printing would be better. Overall though I am happy with them and can't wait to send them out!
Adorably perfect!
We were very nervous about ordering our save the dates online. They turned out better than we could have ever asked for! They are adorable, the colors matched our wedding colors perfectly and the price was great! Can't wait to send them out and order our invitations! Very happy!
Best Wedding Invitation Ever
This style of card is suppose to be used as a Save the Date but I loved the vintage design and wanted to add a picture so i created it as our wedding invitations. MagnetStreet was able to make all of my changes I requested. Our invitations look amazing and will be sure to impress our guest!!
Bittersweet..Postcard Save the Dates
MagnetStreet.com staff and design system online were both wonderful! The postcard Save the Dates I created turned out beautiful. The only problem is... when I sent a test card to myself the design got completely smeared and a little bent. **This has NOTHING to do with MagnetStreet.com** Just a tip for other brides. What I ended up doing was putting them all in nice envelopes with labels and a die-cut heart design on the envelope flap that matched my color theme and postcard design.
Very Well Done
I am very happy with our postcards -- The ability to change all of the colors and hues was very helpful. They were shipped quickly, in a very nice box and packaging. We put them in the mail today and are looking forward to hearing feedback from our guests very soon. Overall, well done. I'm choosing good over excellent because the printing could have been a little bit more "crisp." I'm very happy for the value!

Review: Django Unchained is Tarantino at his indulgent best
I love Quentin Tarantino films. That isn't exactly a bold statement when you're talking about his universally agreed-upon earlier works like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, but I think it's worth a mention in regards to his recent work. Kill Bill, Death Proof, and Inglourious Basterds all hold a special place in my heart, but they didn't seem to work for everyone.
I mention this because his latest, Django Unchained, could just as easily be called Tarantino Unchained. It is an indulgent, wildly stylized Western that follows in the footsteps of Inglourious Basterds. You wouldn't be crazy to think that Tarantino is cooking up a thematic trilogy here. The intolerance trilogy, perhaps? Comeuppance? The Christoph Waltz trilogy?
Either way there's a thread between the two films in which the oppressed rise up and deal beautifully gruesome catharsis upon those who have it coming. Tarantino takes some of the most classic cinema storylines and twists them into something completely modern. Django works today. Were it only a decade ago it would be politically-corrected to death and a decade before that it may have been banned altogether. Today if you aren't cheering for Django or the Basterds you should probably do more than get out of the theater.
That Django Unchained deals with race in the era of slavery is only one part of the equation, though. This is a loving ode to spaghetti westerns complete with a song by Ennio Morricone and plenty of old school dramatic camera zooms. It isn't afraid to throw in a little hip hop here and there too. At the same time, massive, dialogue-heavy scenes bring together the complete Tarantino package. Django is as much about characters having brilliantly-written discussions as it is about blood-soaked gunfights.
Which brings us back to Christoph Waltz. Once again Waltz delivers a stunning, show-stealing performance as Dr. King Schultz, Django's bounty-hunting partner. Jamie Foxx's Django may be the essence of cool, collected badass, but it's the combination of his silent slickness and Schultz's cunning that make this film what it is. Get the two in the same scene with Leonardo DiCaprio's Calvin Candie and you get a potent mix of gripping characters and stunning performances.
At 165 minutes, Django Unchained can be a touch unwieldy. Towards the end the plot meanders a bit more than I'd prefer, with one particular cameo scene feeling entirely unnecessary. At the same time, Django usually takes its time in all the right spots, building tension through Tarantino's verbose dialogue. It could probably use some more editing, but it's hard to trust anyone to trim the fat with this film when so much of the fat is delicious.
As much as Django honors classic cinema it also feels classically modern. In the same film where you get shootouts that result in absurd blood geysers you have slow-paced scenes in which characters simply talk. It is both indulgent and deliberate. It is flashy and philosophical at all the right times. It's cool in a tasteful way that most "cool" films could only dream of.

National team competitions
19-10, 17-19, 24-17, 23-15
JDA Dijon finished a tough EuroChallenge Group D campaign on a high as they topped Tartu Rock 83-61 for what was only their second win.
Their visitors knew before tip-off that their Last 16 hopes were over thanks to Khimik Yuzhne's victory over Gaz Metan Medias and Dijon made the most of their disappointment to take a straightforward win.
They took control with a 14-2 run as Jeremy Leloup's three put them up 19-10 before Ferdinand Prenom added a lay-up to start the second period.
Tartu scrapped their way back into it in the second period and Timo Eichfuss made it 34-29 with a lay-up 69 seconds from half-time.
But Dijon re-established their superiority after the break, with Paul Miller's tip-in from Andre Harris' miss making it a double-digit lead once more at 42-31 before Harris hit back-to-back jump-shots to increase the advantage.
Lens Aboudou then hit two quick three-pointers, the second giving Dijon a 54-35 edge as they began to take complete control.
The lead grew to as much as 78-49 when Zacherie Moss sank a hook shot with 6:08 left in the game, and Tartu's disappointing night was complete.
Aboudou led Dijon with 19 points while Miller, Larry Owens and Prenom had 11 each, Terrance Campbell adding 10.
Eichfuss had 14 points for Tartu with Tanel Kurbas collecting 13.
JDA Dijon head coach Jean-Louis BORG"Even if we knew we won't make the next round, we really wanted to do our best. We managed to be efficient on the court tonight, in defense as well as in offense. This game was a good opportunity to let the young players show what they're capable of. Tonight, they only scored 61 pts, that's an important statistics which proves undoubtly the quality of our defense when everybody plays together."
Tartu Rock head coach Gert Kullamae"Dijon have shown a really good defense tonight, our players had a lot of difficulties to score. We knew we were eliminated from the competition, what maybe affected our players. Dijon seemed to be much more motivated tonight. They really deserved to win this game, there was a difference in the intensity level."
Tartu Rock player Justin Ingram"We missed a lot of shots tonight, in contrary to Dijon. Their aggressive defense created a lot of problems for us. We had a lot of difficulties to concentrate tonight, that's also why they won."
JDA Dijon player Ferdinand Prenom"We really wanted to finish correctly the competition, even if we knew we won't pass to the next round. This kind of game is really important for the life of the group. It enables everyone to get self-confidence and to practice."

Navy (6-3) at Troy (4-5)
The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 10, 3:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Veterans Memorial Stadium (33,000) -- Troy, Alabama. Television: ESPN3.com. Home Record: Navy 3-1, Troy 1-3. Away Record: Navy 3-1, Troy 3-2. Neutral Record: Navy 0-0, Troy 0-0. Conference Record: Navy 0-0, Troy 3-3 Series Record: Navy leads, 1-0.
GAME NOTES: The suddenly surging Navy Midshipmen look to keep the good times rolling when they sail into Veterans Memorial Stadium to take on the high- octane spread attack of the Troy Trojans.
At the end of September Navy was staring at a 1-3 record with very little to look forward to on the season. Since that rough start though, Navy has turned its season around with wins in five straight games including a 24-17 win over Florida Atlantic last week. The five-game winning streak is the longest since the team also won five straight games in 2009. The Midshipmen have had equal success on the road and at home with a 3-1 mark in both instances.
While Navy has been heating up Troy has been cooling down. The Trojans suffered their third defeat in four games last week in a 55-48 overtime heartbreaker to Tennessee. Troy actually led three different times in the game including 48-41 with a little less than three minutes remaining. The loss came despite the Trojans racking up 721 yards of total offense, the most allowed by Tennessee in school history.
This is the second straight season these two squads will play. In the first ever meeting last October, Navy cruised to a 42-14 win in Annapolis after jumping out a 35-0 halftime lead. Navy has never lost to a Sun Belt team with wins in all six games.
It's no secret what Navy will be trying to do on offense this weekend. As always Navy will be relying on the run. On the season Navy is the seventh most prolific rushing team in the nation (268.3 ypg). In fact the Midshipmen have slightly more than four times as many rushing attempts (482) as passing attempts (120).
Seven different players have rushed for 100 yards with three at more than 400. Gee Gee Greene is the lead ball-carrier with 529 yards total this season and a hefty 7.1 yards per carry average. Greene was stifled to just 18 yards last week and in his stead K Reynolds took over rushing for a season-high 159 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries. Reynolds has found the end zone the most on the ground (six) and has rushed for 405 yards. Noah Copeland (464 yards) has also been a consistent contributor and has actually had the most rushing attempts on the roster (107).
Reynolds is also the man under center generally for the last few weeks. He threw for a season-high 147 yards against Florida Atlantic and has taken the majority of the snaps at quarterback after Trey Miller did so in the first four games of the season. Overall Reynolds has only thrown the ball 57 times, completing 35 of those for 560 yards, eight touchdowns and just a single interception.
Very little passing means very little in terms of individual performance in the receiving game. Brandon Turner is the team's leader (15 receptions, 212 yards, 3 TDs) but is averaging only 26.5 yards per game.
On defense Navy is the 38th ranked unit in the nation in terms of yards allowed (360.8 ypg). While not exactly dominant the defensive effort has been strong and much improved during the current winning streak.
Keegan Wetzel (52 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks) has been a very effective pass rusher, while Matt Warrick (53 tackles, 3 INTs) and Parrish Gaines (47 tackles, 2 INTs) have defended against the pass effectively. Tra'ves Bush is the lead tackler with an even 60 stops on the season.
Troy couldn't be any more different than Navy on offense. While the Midshipmen rely on a stubborn adherence to the run, the Trojans are a team that tries to move the ball down field as quickly as possibly with an up-tempo aerial assault. Troy is the top ranked passing offense in the Sun Belt and the 15th best in the nation overall, averaging an even 315 yards per game.
The Trojans' offensive prowess was on display last weekend when Troy racked up an astounding 721 yards, with 496 of those yards coming via the pass. Throwing for 393 of those yards was quarterback Corey Robinson, who posts team-bests in passing yards (2,199), completions (184), attempts (184) and touchdown passes (nine). However the Trojans do not rely on just one signal caller. Deon Anthony threw for 103 yards against Tennessee and has throw for 635 yards, seven touchdowns and just one interception this season.
Anthony is used for his ability to make plays with his feet, a change from Robinson. Anthony is the second-leading rusher on the team with 312 yards and four scores. His contributions complement the running of featured back Shawn Southward, who has rushed for 793 yards and nine touchdowns this season.
Relying so heavily on the pass has produced some gaudy numbers for the Trojan receivers. Chip Reeves has brought in a team-high in both receptions (47) and yards (804), with five TDs. Eric Thomas (44 receptions, 521 yards, 6 TDs) is more for a possession receiver but he has found the end zone more. Chandler Worthy (35 receptions, 415 yards) provides a solid third option.
Since its offense gets up and down the field with such speed, Troy's defense is often on the field for long stretches which has made the unit a less than stellar one on paper. That was evident in the Tennessee loss as the Trojans surrendered 718 yards of total offense, including an incredible 530 through the air. Overall Troy is the second worst team in the Sun Belt Conference in total defense (434.8 ypg) and third worst in scoring (30.0 ppg).
That's not to say there isn't some skill on defense. Brynden Trawick is coming off a 10-tackle effort and leads the team with 68 tackles this season. Tony Davis (6.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks) is the best threat in the pass rush, while Chris Pickett (42 tackles) has been able to lead the team in forced fumbles with three.
Two different offenses are squaring off in this game. Troy hasn't shown a really strong ability in stopping teams on the ground or through the air, but perhaps facing a one-sided attack like Navy's will get the defense more focused. As long as Troy can control the tempo by keeping it at a high rate, the Trojans should have the upper hand.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Troy 31, Navy 21

Dukat, S.G. was a Cardassian military officer who served as Prefect of Bajor in the final years of the Bajoran Occupation. As the last person to hold the position, Dukat lost favor with Cardassian Central Command and fell into a downward spiral for several years. However, he became ruler of the Cardassian Union overnight after he negotiated Cardassia's entry into the Dominion. Following his defeat in Operation Return and the death of his beloved daughter, Ziyal, he suffered a complete mental breakdown and was captured by the Federation when it reclaimed DS9. He subsequently escaped, and became a disciple of the Pah-wraiths. Along with Kai Winn Adami, he attempted to release the Pah-wraiths into the Bajoran wormhole. Dukat was imprisoned in the Fire Caves with the Pah-wraiths after a fateful confrontation with the Emissary of the Prophets.
Career Edit
One of Dukat's first assignments was as a newly-minted glinn aboard the Kornaire. Among his tasks as a glinn was cleaning out a compartment where three men had gone through an explosive decompression, after which he could not sleep for a week. (DS9: "Waltz") At some point prior to being stationed on Bajor, Dukat was a legate, but he lost favor with Cardassian Central Command and was reduced to the rank of Gul. (DS9: "Indiscretion") He later rejected the title of legate because he felt Gul was more "hands on". (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water")
Prefect of Bajor Edit
- "I only hope you won't condemn us all for the boorish behavior of one man."
- - Gul Dukat, 2346
By 2346, at the rank of gul, Dukat was made Prefect of Bajor. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") In 2360 he was assigned command of Terok Nor, the mining station and command post in orbit of Bajor that was later known as Deep Space 9. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I") Dukat was the last Prefect of Bajor before the end of the Occupation. He was responsible for many atrocities committed against the Bajoran people, and became one of the most hated individuals in Bajoran history. (DS9: "Emissary")
According to Dukat, he was convinced that a gentler approach was needed to quell the Bajoran Resistance and make Bajor suitable for colonization. His first act as prefect was to cut labor camp output quotas by fifty percent, abolish child labor, and improve medical care and food rations. These measures led to a twenty percent drop in the camp death rates. However, the Resistance repaid him by destroying an orbital drydock on his one-month anniversary, killing two hundred Cardassians. During the Occupation, the Resistance attempted to assassinate Dukat five times, all of them unsuccessful. Dukat grew to hate the Bajorans for not acknowledging his "compassion" towards them. (DS9: "Things Past", "Waltz")
Despite his latter admission of hatred for his charges, he conducted numerous affairs with Bajoran women, including Kira Meru, mother of Kira Nerys, and Tora Naprem, whom he claimed to love, and with whom he fathered a daughter, Tora Ziyal. (DS9: "Indiscretion", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") The general implication is that in Dukat's inner fantasies, he wanted the Bajoran people to embrace him as their superior and beloved master. In microcosm, he enjoyed indulging this fantasy by manipulating Bajoran comfort-women into falling in love with him, as if they represented all Bajorans.(DS9: "Waltz")
Dukat was fond of Bajoran springwine. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
While prefect, Dukat reported to Legate Kell regularly; however, he did not have the respect from Kell that he was led to believe. Dukat created a counter-insurgency program to combat potential worker revolts on Terok Nor, but Kell secretly added a level to it in case Dukat tried to flee. The automated program was set to deal with various situations, the most severe of which was a complete takeover of the station. In the event that this happened, the program could initiate an auto-destruct sequence, and if Dukat tried to transport off the station while this sequence was in effect, his access codes would be nullified and he would be doomed to die with his station. (DS9: "Civil Defense")
Cardassian officer Edit
- "I've found that when one has a difficult job to do, personal reasons can be quite an incentive."
- - Dukat, 2372
Dukat strongly opposed the Cardassian withdrawal from Bajor in 2369, a move which damaged his career due to the politicians, such as Kotan Pa'Dar, as it occurred during Dukat's administration. During the evacuation and after a bombing, he had one of his female officers take Pa'Dar's son, Rugal, to an orphanage to, at some point, be used to humiliate Pa'Dar. After the withdrawal, Dukat became the commander of the Second Order. He played a major role in many interactions between the Cardassian military and the Federation for the next three years, and made several visits to his former command post, Deep Space 9, under various circumstances. (DS9: "Cardassians")
Dukat was implicated in the supplying of illegal weapons to Cardassian citizens in the Demilitarized Zone in 2370 by his political enemies, including Legate Parn. Dukat assisted Commander Benjamin Sisko in his investigation of the Maquis, so as to prove his innocence. He was briefly abducted by the Maquis, but he was rescued by Sisko. It emerged that the Cardassian Central Command was actually responsible for violating the Federation-Cardassian Treaty. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")
When the Cardassian Union underwent a revolution in 2372, Dukat sided with the victorious Detapa Council. He was promoted to Legate, and was made chief military adviser. Following the Klingon invasion of the Union, Dukat was able to evacuate the Council members to DS9 aboard the cruiser Prakesh, with the timely assistance of the USS Defiant. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
Later that year, Dukat accompanied Kira Nerys to Dozaria to find the wreck of the Ravinok, a transport that had been lost several years earlier with Dukat's mistress, Tora Naprem, and his half-Bajoran daughter, Tora Ziyal, aboard. Dukat had initially intended to kill both Ziyal and Naprem, had they survived. However, after he found his daughter alive in the Breen mine, he decided to take her with him back to Cardassia, despite the effect it would have on his career. (DS9: "Indiscretion")
Fighting the Klingons Edit
- "Everything I have lost, I will regain."
- - Dukat, 2372
After he returned with Ziyal, Dukat was demoted and given command of a small freighter, the Groumall. His family disowned him, his wife and children left him, and both he and Ziyal were shunned by Cardassian society. The Groumall transported Kira to the outpost at Korma in 2372. After finding the outpost destroyed, Dukat and Kira were able to capture the Klingon Bird-of-Prey responsible. Dukat urged the Detapa Council to use his captured intelligence to mount a new offensive against the Klingons, but they rejected his proposal, preferring to seek a diplomatic option. (DS9: "Return to Grace")
Disgusted with the Council's unwillingness to fight, Dukat began to carry on his own one-ship war against the Klingons. In 2373, he and his ship helped an undercover Starfleet team, led by Sisko, infiltrate Klingon military headquarters on Ty'Gokor to expose a Changeling. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
Alliance with the Dominion Edit
- "Cardassia will be made whole. All that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood: for my son, for all our sons."
- - Gul Dukat, 2373
By 2373, Dukat became convinced that the only way to regain Cardassia's former glory was for them to join the Dominion. In secret talks, he negotiated Cardassia's entry into the Dominion with himself as ruler. Dukat promised to the Cardassian people that under his leadership, all that Cardassia lost would be regained. His move was initially celebrated by most Cardassians, who had suffered defeat and humiliation for years at the hands of the Federation and Klingons (DS9: "By Inferno's Light"). Dukat chose not to promote himself back to legate, since he saw the rank of gul as more "hands-on". (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water") One of Dukat's first acts was to have his Dominion allies release all surviving Cardassians from Internment Camp 371 with one exception – Elim Garak, who had not only killed Dukat's father but had also fallen in love with Tora Ziyal. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
In the months after his taking office, Dukat made good on his promises by expelling the Klingons from Cardassian space and wiping out the Maquis with his newly gained Dominion allies. Dukat commanded the Dominion forces which retook Terok Nor from the Federation in late 2373. In the following weeks, Dukat directed the Dominion War from his old command, winning many early victories against the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Bringing in Dominion reinforcements from the Gamma Quadrant by re-opening the Bajoran wormhole was to be his greatest triumph. (DS9: "Call to Arms", "A Time to Stand")
However, victory was snatched from his grasp when the Dominion reinforcements were eliminated by the Prophets. As allied forces retook the station during Operation Return, Dukat – driven half-mad by his rapid change of fortune – descended into insanity after the murder of his beloved daughter Ziyal by Damar, his second-in-command. He refused to evacuate with the rest of the Dominion forces, and was captured by Starfleet. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
Madness Edit
- "They thought I was their enemy. They don't know what it is to be my enemy, but they will."
- - Dukat, 2374
Afterward, Dukat began suffering from hallucinations and fits of paranoia, and was treated by Federation doctors. After he was declared "recovered", Dukat was to be taken to a Special Jury at Starbase 621 aboard the USS Honshu to stand trial for war crimes. However, the Honshu was intercepted by Cardassian warships, and Dukat escaped to a nearby planet in a shuttlecraft with his nemesis, Benjamin Sisko. Dukat's hallucinations returned, and he attempted to kill Sisko before escaping in the shuttle. During his time on the planet, Dukat embraced his hatred for the Bajoran people, promising to one day return and rain destruction on all of Bajor. Even more than before, his actions became increasingly proactively evil. (DS9: "Waltz")
Pact with the Pah-wraiths Edit
- "Everyone has their reasons. That's what's so frightening. People can find a way to justify any action, no matter how evil."
- - Kira Nerys
In late 2374, Dukat believed he had found a way to destroy the Bajoran people and their Emissary, Sisko. Having immersed himself in the ancient Bajoran texts, he discovered that the wormhole was actually the Celestial Temple. He returned to Cardassia Prime and enacted an ancient Bajoran ritual to release a Pah-wraith into his body. Thus possessed, he traveled to Deep Space 9 and released it into the Celestial Temple via the Orb of Contemplation, causing the wormhole to disappear. In the process, Dukat killed Jadzia Dax, who was simply in his way. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
His inhabitation by the Pah-wraith had turned Dukat into their believer; subsequently he retreated to station Empok Nor and founded a community of members from the Cult of the Pah-wraiths. He was worshiped as a messiah, and fathered another half-Bajoran child with Mika. Dukat never publicly admitted fatherhood. Dukat attempted to have the cult members commit suicide to conceal his attempt to kill Mika. When he was exposed, he fled again. (DS9: "Covenant")
In late 2375, Dukat secretly underwent cosmetic surgery on Cardassia Prime to pose as a Bajoran farmer, Anjohl Tennan. He then traveled to Deep Space 9 and gained the confidence of Kai Winn Adami and even became romantically involved with her - albeit for ulterior motives - and with the assistance of false visions given to Winn by the Pah-wraiths, he slowly convinced her to join him as a follower of the Pah-wraiths. During the Occupation, just after the Great Famine, Anjohl Tennan was one of a hundred Bajorans due to be executed by Gul Dukat's orders as a public example after the Bajoran Resistance destroyed the outpost in Relliketh. Winn, who was a ranjen at the time, had bribed the pilot of Anjohl's transport, Prenar, to "accidentally" misread his orders and divert his prisoners to a labor camp. Dukat later retold this story to Winn to further gain her trust. (DS9: "'Til Death Do Us Part")
The two plotted to release the Pah-wraiths from their prison in the Fire Caves, using the Book of the Kosst Amojan. Solbor eventually discovered what happened to the real Anjohl Tennan and exposed Dukat's true identity but was killed by Dukat. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil")
The pair entered the Fire Caves, where Winn poisoned Dukat as a sacrifice to complete the release ritual. However, the Pah-wraiths rejected Winn and chose Dukat as their Emissary, restoring him to life, returning his Cardassian features, and imbuing him with their power. After Dukat killed Winn, Sisko plunged himself and Dukat into the fires, which destroyed the book and trapped Dukat forever in the prison with the Pah-wraiths. Sisko himself was rescued by the Prophets. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil", "What You Leave Behind")
Family and personal relationships Edit
Dukat claimed to be married and have seven children with his wife. At one point in 2371, Dukat expressed regrets about missing the eleventh birthday of his son Mekor. However, these supposed family members were never seen and were abandoned when he found his daughter Ziyal. Furthermore, he also kept several Bajoran mistresses when he was Prefect on Terok Nor during the Bajoran Occupation. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I", "Defiant", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
Benjamin SiskoEdit
Dukat had a strange relationship with Benjamin Sisko, who was in many ways his counterpart and opposite. Dukat saw Sisko as a friend and viewed him with a great deal of respect, although that view was not shared by Sisko. However, after Dukat realized his hatred for the Bajorans and made his promise to destroy Bajor, he and Sisko became mortal enemies. They would eventually confront one another one last time in the Fire Caves. (DS9: "Waltz", "What You Leave Behind")
Dukat's closest friend was Damar, who served under him when he commanded the transport ship and later the stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey and was his adjutant during his time as leader of the Cardassian Union. Dukat found Damar "useful" and despite the fact it was Damar who shot and killed his daughter, he later forgave Damar and came to him for help in his plan to release the Pah-Wraiths, even encouraging him to once again become the brave man he had fought with years before. (DS9: "Return to Grace", "Sacrifice of Angels", "Penumbra")
Dukat also had a good working relationship with his Dominion ally Weyoun, and although they would occasionally antagonize one another, there was a mutual respect between the two. Dukat even gave Weyoun a picture his daughter Ziyal had painted. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", "Penumbra", "'Til Death Do Us Part")
Elim GarakEdit
Dukat had a deep-seeded personal hatred of Garak, stemming largely from the death of his father. As an agent of the Obsidian Order, Garak tortured and killed Dukat's father, though the reason for the arrest and interrogation is never mentioned. Dukat used those events to try to dissuade his daughter Ziyal from her relationship with Garak. This relationship with his daughter only strengthened Dukat's animosity toward Garak, driving Dukat to nearly kill him in Quark's Bar in 2373. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow") When he commanded Terok Nor, Dukat made at least one attempt to have Garak executed but failed, which Garak would later point out to Dukat's chagrin. (DS9: "Civil Defense")
Kira NerysEdit
In the years after the Occupation, Dukat and Kira Nerys crossed paths many times.
Dukat was fascinated by Kira. Indeed, Dukat hinted on several occasions that he was romantically interested in her, referring to her as a "fascinating woman." Dukat complimented Kira on her talents and skills more than once, much to her disgust. He seemed to be determined to win Kira's respect and acknowledgement as a sort of vindication from his past actions. At times, however, both seemed to enjoy each other's company, to an extent, and were able to work together when it was required. For example, Dukat joined Kira on a mission to find the transport ship Ravinok; the two successfully located remaining crew members from that vessel and worked out a plan to rescue the prisoners. Dukat was also persuaded by Kira into sparing his illegitimate half-Bajoran daughter, Ziyal, and accepting her into his life. (DS9: "Indiscretion")
Additionally, when Dukat's ship transported Kira to a conference, the two enjoyed a meal together and subsequently collaborated to stop a group of Klingons operating behind Cardassian borders. Seeing that his new life of terrorism against the Klingons was not a good one for his daughter, Dukat allowed Kira to take Ziyal back to DS9 with her. This development pleased Dukat because he and Kira now had something in common. (DS9: "Return to Grace") Given this somewhat mother-like role he perceived Kira having for his daughter, Dukat blamed her when he discovered Ziyal had become romantically involved with Garak. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
Dukat and Kira's relationship took on a much darker tone during the Dominion War, when Dukat took over as commander of Dominion-occupied DS9. He made a few rather obvious advances towards Kira, which she rebuffed with disgust. Later, after he had become a disciple of the Pah-Wraiths, Dukat had Kira kidnapped to Empok Nor, where he tried in vain to convince her to join the Cult of the Pah-Wraiths community he had established there. (DS9: "Covenant")
Kira MeruEdit
Kira Meru was one of Dukat's comfort women on Terok Nor during the Bajoran Occupation, with whom he fell in love and was involved for seven years before her death in 2353. Years later, Dukat developed an attraction to Meru's daughter, Kira Nerys, the first officer of Deep Space Nine. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
Tora ZiyalEdit
Towards the end of the Occupation, Dukat fell in love with another Bajoran woman, Tora Naprem, and the two had a daughter named Tora Ziyal. Dukat sent the pair away to Lissepia in 2366, though their ship was shot down by the Breen on Dozaria. Ziyal survived and was forced to labor in a Breen dilithium mine until Dukat rescued her in 2372. Tradition demanded that he kill her, but Dukat couldn't bring himself to do so, so he took her back to Cardassia Prime with him, whereupon he was severely ostracized. His wife and children left him and his mother disowned him. (DS9: "Indiscretion", "Return to Grace")
When Dukat became a terrorist in the Klingon-Cardassian War, he sent Ziyal to live on Deep Space 9 under the care of Kira, with whom she had formed a close relationship. (DS9: "Return to Grace") During the first Dominion offensive, Ziyal helped Kira and others in their efforts to sabotage the station and get it back into Federation hands. After the Dominion was forced to abandon DS9, Damar overheard Ziyal admit that she'd helped Kira and the other saboteurs escape and killed her before Dukat's eyes, declaring her a traitor. She died in Dukat's arms, an experience that left him deeply scarred and, together with the defeat in battle, was the beginning of his downward spiral into madness. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels") He subsequently spent many months under the psychological care of Federation doctors, often calling out Ziyal's name. (DS9: "Waltz")

Memorable quotes Edit
"Cardassia will be made whole. All that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood: for my son, for all our sons."
- - Dukat (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
"One man's villain is another man's hero, captain."
- - Dukat (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
"Are you INSANE"?
- - Dukat to Weyoun after the latter downs a glass of poison (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water")
"Still calling yourself 'Gul'? I'm surprised you haven't promoted yourself back to legate by now."
"I prefer the title 'Gul'; so much more hands-on than Legate. And less pretentious than the other alternatives: President, Emperor, First Minister... Emissary."
- -Sisko and Dukat DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water"
"They thought I was their enemy. They don't know what it is to be my enemy, but they will."
Background information Edit
- Dukat's initials (S.G.) come from the DS9 Season 6 opener "A Time to Stand", in which Dukat records a permanent documentation file identifying himself as "Dukat, S.G." Though it it possible that it stands for "Station Gul", DS9 Producer Ronald D. Moore jokingly gave Dukat's first name as "Elmo" on several occasions. (AOL chat, 1997) Moore further commented, "The initials probably represent some rank or association or achievement (like Ph.d, or A.S.C., or J.D.)." (AOL chat, 1997)
- Marc Alaimo was not the first choice to play Dukat. For Star Trek: Deep Space Nine pilot episode "Emissary", another actor was cast in the role. After a day's shooting, however, the producers decided they had miscast, so they asked Alaimo to come in and take over the role. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Marc Alaimo highly valued the opportunities to play Dukat, referring to the character as "a good role." He continued, "I really like Dukat. I try to deal with him very objectively. I like him to walk the line, if you know what I mean. I don't want him to be one-dimensionally evil and I don't want him to be goody two-shoes, either. I want him to be a rational, intelligent Cardassian [....] I try to play him closer to that. I don't think of Dukat as a villain at all. I think he does things his way. He's used to a Cardassian rhythm where things are not questioned and people do as they're told. That's interesting. I like that. As long as the writers keep him interesting, I'll keep playing him. I think the writers like him, too [....] There's a tremendous sensuality to the character, don't you think?" Alaimo didn't base his performance as Dukat on anyone in particular. Neither did he create a back story for the character, mostly leaving it up to the writers to do so. Of course, the actor did, however, add certain qualities to the portrayal. The performer added, "I have tried to instill a little bit of softness into him, a little playfulness [....] I would like to keep instilling little things to which people can relate and show his different dimensions." The character's flexibility was what Alaimo loved about the part. "I can have him do anything," Alaimo remarked. "He doesn't have to be mean. I can try to instill that softness and playfulness into him." To prepare for assuming the role, Alaimo routinely had to endure several hours in which makeup was applied to him and he was fitted into his Cardassian costume. Wearing the Dukat makeup was no problem for Alaimo, as he had many years' experience with such makeup for stage productions. (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine, issue 6, pp. 49, 50 & 51) Alaimo elaborated, "I've tried to play him with some sort of sensitivity. I could have gone one-dimensionally aggressive and mean and ugly with this character if I'd chosen to. I have the feeling that's what they kind of wanted. I thought, 'I've done that a hundred and fifty times already.' So I wanted to give him some dimension, some depth, and I think it's worked very well [....] I've really enjoyed it [playing the 'bad guy of the week'], particularly 'Necessary Evil' and 'The Maquis'. I think Gul Dukat even thinks that a lot of what his race does is evil. He understands the difference. Then again, in war – in a fight – Gul Dukat is unbeatable. He won't stop until he wins, and that's the Cardassian philosophy [....] But when he's not in that situation [of war], I would think he's a very reasonable, sensitive and thinking Cardassian." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 73) In 2003, Alaimo commented on his portrayal of Dukat, "I thought the character was terrific. It was one of the first times I'd been able to really sort of expand a multifaceted character like that, instead of one dimensional, which is I think the way they wanted to go with Dukat in the beginning, but I started to sort of branch off emotionally, and they picked up on it, and they gave me all these wonderful multifaceted character moments. I was pretty proud of my work throughout the whole seven years of it." (Hidden File 01, DS9 Season 7 DVD special features)
- Ira Steven Behr was impressed by Marc Alaimo's approach to portraying Dukat. "What's interesting is that Marc Alaimo plays Dukat like he's the hero of the TV series," Behr commented. "You listen to Marc talk about Dukat, and it's totally different than I see the character, but he brings that to it and adds a whole other level to it." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 107) Behr clarified, "In Dukat's mind, Dukat is the hero of every episode he appears in." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Official Poster Magazine, No. 10) On the other hand, Behr said, "Dukat is not a nice man. He is not a sensitive man. He likes to act like a sensitive man, but he's a man of appetites to whom public image is very important, much more important than the truth [....] I find him reprehensible myself." Behr also found Dukat was a fascinating character to structure episodes around. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 308)
- Occasionally, Dukat's motivations mirror those of historic figures. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 308)
- Dukat underwent extensive character development during DS9 Season 2. During or after that season, Ira Steven Behr commented, "It's amazing that [Cardassian Gul] Ducat started out in the beginning of the season on monitors for the most part. He was just this little head and this character has grown so much." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 25/26, No. 6/1, p. 100) The use of Dukat in second season two-parter "The Maquis, Part I" and "The Maquis, Part II" gave him something of a "nice guy" image and seemed to suggest the DS9 writing staff was experimenting with the idea of making the Cardassian a more frequently recurring character. "I totally agree," stated Marc Alaimo. "I'd rather not just keep coming back to guest. If I'm going to do the show, I'd like to be a part of the team. And I think Dukat would be a really interesting addition, because he's got so much power." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, pp. 73 & 86)
- Dukat was described in a revised series bible compiled prior to DS9 Season 3. In the document, he was referred to as a "continuing threat to our people." (Star Trek - Where No One Has Gone Before, paperback ed., p. 198)
- Following his appearances in the "The Maquis" two-parter, Dukat was once again portrayed as a somewhat sinister character in third season's "Civil Defense". "We were making him a little too friendly and we definitely did not want to do that," remarked Ira Behr. "I don't want him to become the friendly neighborhood Cardassian." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 86)
- In the development of season four offering "Indiscretion", freelance writers Toni Marberry and Jack Treviño devised having Dukat seek a half-Bajoran daughter of his and draft Kira Nerys for the mission, only for him to later reveal that he was planning to kill his daughter. Although some of Dukat's rough edges would basically be blunted by the introduction of his daughter Tora Ziyal, the writing staff maintained his essential nature, never losing track of it. In "Indiscretion", a statement criticizing Dukat's passion for talking (specifically, Kira's line, "Captain Sisko's right; you are in love with your own voice.") was added as an in-joke regarding Cardassians in general and Dukat in particular. "No one can milk it like Marc Alaimo, even though there are times when you just want him to get on with it," related Ira Behr. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, pp. 274 & 275) The way Dukat is depicted in "Indiscretion" evoked pride in Robert Hewitt Wolfe, who rewrote the episode's script together with Behr. (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 107)
- The DS9 staff writers were pleased with how they managed to depict Dukat in subsequent fourth season outing "Return to Grace". Enthused Ira Behr, "I thought that Alaimo was terrific [....] It was just so great to put him out there." Ronald D. Moore expressed, "Turning Dukat into Captain Dukat of the Spanish main seemed like a great idea. He takes that ship and off he goes." René Echevarria commented, "It was an attempt to look at Dukat and have him realize that regaining his glory in a hollow empire isn't quite worth the undertaking. More important is getting back to his roots as a military man and being a sort of freedom fighter." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, pp. 113 & 114) Hans Beimler, who scripted "Return to Grace", observed, "In this episode, you're aware of different shades to his personality. But, if you think about it, they're all very self-serving." Ira Behr likened part of Dukat's attitude in the installment to that of Sioux leader Sitting Bull, because Dukat defiantly referring to himself as the last Cardassian echoes a statement Sitting Bull made, when he was the only Sioux who didn't agree to a treaty with the white-skinned settlers of the United States. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 308)
- Nana Visitor has said of Dukat, "This was a character who was the worst people we have had on Earth, this is who this man was." (Hidden File 02, DS9 Season 6 DVD special features)
- Hans Beimler has likewise commented, "With Dukat, you were writing a Nazi; an intelligent, vicious, complicated Nazi. That doesn't mean there wasn't something worthwhile about him – he was a complicated person, but he was Nazi." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 3, pp. 44-45) Beimler also remarked, "There are so many facets to Dukat. He's a very complicated character. But he's always been a Nazi, always [....] This is not a pleasant man. He's done a lot of terrible things." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 308)
- On Dukat's role as villain, Ronald D. Moore has commented, "I don't think of him as being completely evil through and through to the point where every thought, every impulse is shaded by a nefarious agenda or horrid motive. We've seen other aspects to this guy over the years. He can be charming. He can be generous. He can do the right thing. All of that somehow makes his 'evil' actions all the more despicable, because we know that there was the potential in there for him to be a better person. But sometimes the clichés are true: Hitler loved his dog. No human being (and by extension, no Cardassian) is one hundred percent pure evil. But there is a 'critical mass', if you will, where the dark deeds attributed to one person become so overwhelming that they swamp all the redeeming characteristics. Dukat is a bad guy. A very bad guy. He has a lot of blood on his hands and it's hard to see how his smile and innate charm can wipe that clean." (AOL chat, 1998) When Moore was asked by a member of Reddit if he regretted that the writers made Dukat into "a cartoonish super-villain" in response to fans who found him increasingly sympathetic, he responded, "I think we were all pleased with where we took Dukat, it felt like it was organic based on where the character began, who he was in the past and in the present, so I don't think we have any regrets." [1]
Reception and aftermath Edit
- Marc Alaimo sensed Dukat was at least generally accepted while the actor was playing him. During DS9's second season, the actor stated, "Now that I've been doing Dukat on a fairly regular basis, he has become an established character that people know and recognize." (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine, issue 6, p. 51)
- StarTrek.com describes Dukat as "probably the most complex and fully developed bad guy in Star Trek history." [X]wbm
- In 2002, Dukat placed fourth in TV Zone's list of the top twenty science fiction television villains. The Borg Queen was second, Weyoun was eighth, Q was eleventh and Seska was eighteenth.
- The stunt costume used for Dukat in DS9: "Covenant" was auctioned off in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, as well as the Breen coolsuit worn by Alaimo in the episode "Indiscretion". [2]
Apocrypha Edit
In the novels published by Pocket Books, Dukat's first name is identified as "Skrain". In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine relaunch novels, specifically Demons of Air and Darkness, the resemblance between Dukat and Macet (both played by Marc Alaimo) is explained, stating that they are cousins.
In the Millennium series, which begins shortly before Dukat released the Pah-Wraith that drove him to Deep Space 9 where he killed Jadzia and briefly closed the wormhole, Dukat's discovery of Sisko's apparent death with the creation of the Pah-wraith wormhole drove him to once again create the Cult of the Pah-wraiths on Empok Nor (now relocated to DS9's original position), becoming one with Kosst Amojan. Regarding himself as the Pah-wraith Emissary, Dukat developed a vendetta against Weyoun, who had proclaimed himself the Emissary of the True Prophets and sought to end the universe by combining the two wormholes. When the Defiant reappeared, Dukat briefly confronted Sisko and Weyoun after luring the two into the mirror universe, but, when this attempt to kill them failed, Dukat returned to our reality and managed to capture O'Brien, Quark, Rom and Garak. With these prisoners/crew, Dukat forced them to take an advanced Klingon ship to follow Weyoun and the Defiant into the wormholes before the end of the universe. Having been easily knocked out by his former "prisoners" after freeing them from their Pah-Wraith induced Hells, Dukat was no longer empowered by the Pah-Wraiths as their "conflict" with the Prophets was now over. Dukat subsequently managed to escape to a past version of Deep Space 9, where he committed a murder that Odo had been investigating prior to the destruction of the station. In a somewhat ironic twist (given that his alternate past self would go on to kill her), after the crew prevented the red wormhole from ever opening, Dukat was shot in the back by Dax when he was distracted.
Dukat's mirror universe counterpart is depicted as the Supreme Legate of the Cardassian Union in the novels Saturn's Children and Rise Like Lions.

Yeah that's what I had said earlier. That team was supposed to DOMINATE too.
yea, non fitting pieces and the players they brought together ignored their D and offensive line, sort like us ignoring personnel with coaching selection, so that makes Kobe our Vick who puts up nice stats but we keep losing
Well, ironically, the Eagles are Kobe's team!
But, you can't compare him to Vick. He's obviously, head and shoulders above Vick. But I've said it before in many other threads that I think we have talent on the roster, maybe just the wrong type of talent together. It's like you have all these articles of clothing that individually are pricy and fashionable but when you put them together you just look a hot mess.

Home to the best snow on earth, Utah also boasts of some of the most beautiful scenery on earth, especially in Southern Utah. Many people visit Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park in the summer, but some of the most stunning views are created by the contrast of bright white snow with the fiery red rock and the crystal blue skies.
With groomed trails and unique scenery, Cedar Mountain is one of Utah's premier snowmobile complexes. Below, we have listed the most scenic trails on Cedar Mountain according to Utah.com. Visit www.utah.com/snowmobile/cedar_mtn.htm for more trails on Cedar Mountain.
High Mountain Trail
This wide, well-groomed trail located high in the Cedar Mountains provides riders with excellent views into Cedar Breaks National Monument. Early American Indians once referred to this enormous red rock amphitheater as the circle of painted cliffs. This is a great trail for riders of all abilities and one of the most scenic in the complex.
Cedar Breaks Trail
The wide, well-groomed Cedar Breaks Trail is an ideal ride for snowmobilers wanting to experience the grandeur of Cedar Breaks National Monument. The trail enters the monument and provides winter access to many scenic overlooks. Easy access to this trail is through the Mammoth Summit Trailhead located just off Highway 143, and via the Midway Trailhead located adjacent to Highway 14.
Lars Fork Trail
The Lars Fork Trail is among the most scenic of the trails in the region. With mild grades, this is a good trail for riders of all abilities, providing access to several scenic pullouts that overlook the Virgin River Valley and Zion National Park.
Please note that some view points in Cedar Breaks National Monument are accessible only by walking, cross-country skis, or snow shoes. Please do not take a snowmobile off of the designated trail.

Complete Personal Loan Information
If you need of money but you don't want a complicated financial transaction, personal lending could be the right choice for you. Personal loans are designed to provide money for applicants with little requirements, have very flexible repayment terms, and can offer needed financial relief in a crisis.
Should I Borrow Unsecured or Secured?
"Simply borrow what you need, all online, to put your money struggles behind you..."
Personal loans come in two forms: Secured and unsecured. Secured loans are guaranteed by the borrower using a personal asset such as a real estate or a car as collateral for the loan. Unsecured loans on the other hand don't require any collateral. Each choice has its own set of advantages and disadvantages that must be weighed when choosing your personal loan.
Secured loans provide less risk for the lender, because of the collateral, and this allows for lower interest rates, longer repayment periods and lower monthly payments. Unsecured bad credit loans, on the other hand have inherently higher risks for the lender and thus higher interest rates, higher monthly payments and shorter repayment periods can be expected.

In the midst of treacherous ice and snow storm Jan. 28 in LaGrange, West Georgia Technical College officials held an active shooter drill on the LaGrange campus without notifying the LaGrange Police Department or other public safety officials.
According to the Troup County 911 communications center, a call came in at 9:56 a.m. to report an active shooter at the WGTC LaGrange campus. An official with the center said that the husband of a woman, who was on campus at the time, called in to report the shooter on the WGTC LaGrange campus. The husband had apparently received a text message from his wife about an alleged shooter, according to the 911 official.
LaGrange Public Safety Chief Lou Dekmar said officers were deployed to the campus after the 911 center put out an active shooter alert.
Dekmar said the first officers responding to such an incident are ordered to assess the situation to determine if there is a danger and, if necessary, engage the suspect in order to protect the people on the campus. In the meantime, back up officers and Special Weapons and Tactical teams are deployed to such a situation. Several officers at the time were investigating several wrecks reported in the area due to inclement weather. Some of those officers were diverted from those traffic investigations to respond to the college campus.
Dekmar said the responding officers determined the situation was a drill scheduled by the college and there was no danger. He also said that his department and the 911 center were not informed about the scheduled drill an were responding as if it were a dangerous situation.
WGTC Associate Provost Lee Newman confirmed that the school held a scheduled active shooter drill.
"We were acting in the best interest of the safety of our students and staff," Newman said.
Newman would not comment as to why LaGrange public safety officials were not notified of the scheduled drill.
WGTC officials in Carrollton emailed a statement which says as follows:
Campus safety drills are for the protection of all of the students, faculty and staff of West Georgia Technical College. While the active shooter drill on the LaGrange Campus was planned, it was not shared with all as it should have been, including the local first responders.
We regret the timing of the drill and apologize for the misunderstanding. The public should know that this matter is under full review. The leadership of WGTC will ensure that all future campus-wide safety drills are conducted with the full knowledge, approval and participation of all involved.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has proven to be effective in the treatment of seizures. In fact, the ketogenic diet is one of the oldest and most effective treatments available for patients with seizures regardless of age, from infancy through adulthood. The ketogenic diet must only be started under direct medical supervision.
Here are some frequently asked questions about the ketogenic diet:
What is the ketogenic diet?
The ketogenic diet is a special high-fat diet that often includes heavy cream, butter and vegetable oils to provide the necessary fat. The diet eliminates carbohydrate rich foods such as bread, rice, cereals, pasta, cookies, and cakes.
How effective is the diet at controlling or eliminating seizures?
Studies that have followed children on the diet for long periods reveal that at least 2/3 of all children on the diet have a significant reduction in seizures by over half. 1/3 of children on the diet will have a greater than 90% reduction in seizures, with half of these children ....
