4 Things Your Teen Needs to Know About Debt
Before your teens take out a student loan or a car loan or even a mortgage, they'll need some sound financial advice before they end up learning the hard way.
Before your teens take out a student loan or a car loan or even a mortgage, they'll need some sound financial advice before they end up learning the hard way.
We all remember how the subprime mortgage crisis threw the financial system into chaos. Well, there's another similar crisis brewing just under the economy's surface.
U.S. consumer credit rose more than expected in September but credit card usage fell for a fourth straight month.
Hyundai says that any furloughed government workers facing a payment on their Hyundai can wait until they're back to work.
U.S. consumers trimmed their overall indebtedness in the latest quarter, continuing a nearly five-year trend.
Not all debt is created equal. And even in today's low interest rate climate, too much of the wrong kind of debt can quickly snowball. So as you consider your overall financial picture, make sure you only take on healthy debt -- and even then, only if you can afford it.
Want a cheap car loan? How about a free one? Believe it or not, more and more car buyers are being offered 0% interest loans, and almost everyone else can now get cheap financing -- even folks with less-than-perfect credit.
Banks are still being pretty stingy about extending credit these days, when it comes to things like credit cards and mortgages. But there's one big exception: Banks are giving out car loans like they're going out of style.
Auto loans are easier to get now than they have been in years. During the first quarter U.S. lenders gave car buyers some of the best terms since the financial crisis.
When car buyers take possession of a vehicle before their financing arrangements are complete, they're risking a big money mess if the loan falls through. And some less scrupulous dealers will take advantage.
U.S. consumers swiped their credit cards more often in March and took out more loans to attend school, driving overall borrowing up by the most in more than a decade. Total consumer borrowing rose $21.4 billion in March, the Federal Reserve said Monday. That's the seventh straight monthly increase and the largest since November 2001.
The recession and its hangover have turned our bill-paying habits upside down. Cash-strapped Americans are paying off their car loans before they pay credit card bills and make mortgage payments, a TransUnion study finds.
U.S. car sales just hit their highest level in four years, and that's good news for economy watchers. Falling unemployment, more cooperative lenders, and rising consumer confidence all contributed to the boom. So if you're looking to buy, what does this all mean for you?
Here's the good news: American consumers are finally starting to reduce their reliance on credit and pay off their high-interest debt -- a positive development for their financial futures. The bad news: More money in people's pockets means less overall spending in the economy, which desperately needs the cash right now. How might the tension be resolved?
Before the Great Recession, U.S. consumer debt had risen fairly steadily for more than a decade. With the downturn, it finally dropped...until December's small rise. However, a longer look at the trend of ever-rising debt shows that America is still extraordinarily overextended.
After two years of relative frugality caused by the financial crisis, Americans are again borrowing in a big way. Consumer spending is surely good for the economy, but have Americans learned any lessons about loading up on the red ink?
Auto dealers and finance companies are beginning to loosen up the restrictions on consumer credit that helped to clamp down auto sales starting in...
U.S. consumers appear to be getting bit less frugal: The amount of consumer credit in use unexpectedly rose in October for the second straight month. But the whole rise came from non-revolving debt, which includes auto loans and personal loans, while revolving debt, which includes credit cards, plunged.
If you've been rejected for a car loan due to poor credit, you might want to apply again. The automotive credit industry increased the share of new car loans going to credit-challenged borrowers by 12.7% in the third quarter, a sign that lenders are loosening their credit criteria.
Consumer credit unexpectedly rose by $2.1 billion in September, but the rise is only a partial victory for those who argue that credit expansion is required for the U.S. economy to return to a normal growth rate, because credit card debt fell for the second straight month. If that decreased plastic use continues this fall, it will likely weigh on retailers%u2019 holiday shopping revenue.
Total consumer debt fell by $3.3 billion in August. And as in July, declining revolving debt, which includes credit cards, accounted for the entire drop. The trend could keep GDP in check, but long term, it's a positive development.
Seeking to boost sales of Lexus brand vehicles, Toyota plans to offer rebates of up to $3,000, as well as subsidized financing on certain models, company executives told a gathering of Lexus dealers from across the country this week.
Buying a car brings on the stress no matter how you slice it -- especially if you wind up slicing a lemon. From betting on a good price for your old...
General Motors will once again have its own in-house financing unit starting Friday, when the auto giant closes on its $3.5 billion purchase of AmeriCredit. The new unit, to be renamed General Motors Financial, will allow GM to offer consumers more financing and leasing options.

Three months after turning profitable since its bankruptcy, GM CEO Ed Whitacre is expected to report it made even bigger profits -- perhaps in excess of $1 billion -- during the second quarter when it releases its latest results on Thursday.
Consumer credit use fell another $1.3 billion in June, the Federal Reserve said, as Americans once again kept their credit cards in their wallets. But the belt tightening was less than expected: Economists had predicted credit would contract by $5 billion.
In a speech at New York University's Stern School of Business on Monday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner pledged a speedy financial overhaul.
Millions of Americans are seeing their credit scores plunge. According to FICO, 25.5% of consumers -- roughly 43.4 million people -- have a credit score below 600, making them a poor risk for lenders, and making it hard for those consumers to get credit cards, auto loans and mortgages.

Facebook Said to Let Users Put Music Services on Home Pages
Aug. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Facebook Inc. will let users incorporate online music services including Spotify Ltd. and Rdio Inc. on their home pages, said people with knowledge of the plans.
Facebook will announce the music feature at its Sept. 22 developers conference in San Francisco, said three people, who requested anonymity because the plans aren't public. MOG Inc. will also be included, CNBC reported earlier.
Facebook, the largest social-networking company, is adding movies and music to strengthen ties to users, while the online music companies gain a potential audience of 750 million. Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. has begun renting movies including "The Dark Knight" on the website. Pandora Inc., Spotify and Rdio already offer Facebook features on their sites.
"Many of the most popular music services around the world are integrated with Facebook and we're constantly talking to our partners about ways to improve these integrations," Jonathan Thaw, a spokesman for Mountain View, California-based Facebook, said in an e-mail.

Great villa for a family holiday
Once we made it to the villa, it was exactly as the pictures presented (no surprises). A very nice big house for a family of 8 adults and 2 kids. 4 fully furnished rooms with three bathrooms (one even had direct access to the pool!); a great family room area where we were able to gather and enjoyed time as a family, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and more!
The pool area was very relaxing, and quiet.
The management company was very prompt to answer our questions/concerns and the one time we called to check something in the villa, they send a maintenance person within a couple of hrs.
I would definitely stay at this villa again on my next family trip to Orlando.
It was lovely!
Fantastic to be back
The Villa is clean, quiet and fully equipped for everyone's needs - it really does feel like a home-from-home from the moment you step through the front door!
The location is absolutely ideal with everywhere really easy to access either via the interstate or the local roads. Typically, the drive to Disney takes about 20 minutes from door-to-door, whilst the travel time to supermarkets (Publix) and pharmacies (CVS or Walgreens) is only 5 minutes. We also discovered that the area is even served by a small post office which is only five minutes away from the villa (turn left out of Bridgewater Crossing and drive until you reach the railroad crossing - the post office is on the right, just before the crossing).
As usual, the owners have been great with their communication, quickly responding to messages and providing all the pre-trip info that is needed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the villa and can't wait to go back!
Loved the villa!
marvelous villa, a great place to stai
Publix stores, dunkin donuts, and resturants only 5 mins away.
Loved the florida sky villa

We re visited Periton Park Court as we had, had such a lovely stay last time. It is such a pretty location. We stayed in the bunk house which is separate from the main building, it has its own veranda with seating which was really nice for eating outside. It is very clean and tidy and the owners very friendly.... More

For example, science gives no support to the existence of God, yet many scientific studies have shown the positive effects of
in God. This is why many health organizations will support "faith-based" recovery programs. They have been proven to speed up recovery.
Another example, if you're trying to bench press a heavy weight, you might tell yourself, "Light as a feather." Well, it's flat out false that the weight is light as a feather. But doing your best to
it is may help you in lifting it.
Finally, scientific studies of optimism and pessimism have consistently shown that people who tested as "pessimistic" tend to be able to make more accurate factual assessments of many situations. In other words, pessimists are "realists," whereas optimists are often dreamers and deniers.
Yet, which of these people do you think are healthier, live longer, are more successful, have better social relations, and are happier? The optimists.
So New Age crap may not be "true", but that doesn't matter. What matters is whether it's helpful. I guess Kiteboard's readers can chime back in a few weeks and let us know.

We spent two nights at the Hotel Grand Tremezzo Palace, one in a lake view room and the second a garden view. The hotel was very accomodating in moving us. Both rooms were nicely appointed, though the lake view larger and pricier. The setting was beautiful and luxurious; it felt like something out of a different era. The clientele seemed to be largely retirees. Though it was an expensive weekend away, it was rejuvenating and gentile. There isn't much in the immediate surroundings in terms of restaurants or nightlife. The hotel restaurant could not accomodate us on the Saturday night. Drinks on the terrace are wonderful and varied (a Singapore Sling, anyone?), but at 13 euro each, perhaps consider picking up some duty free wine to enjoy in your room!

This hotel is totally overated. The room we had was so small we had to move out of each others way to walk. We had to keep our clothes in our suitcases because there was no where to put them . The staff was stuck up. When we asked to upgrade , even though there were rooms available. we were told that we would have to pay an add't 190 euros . It was ridiculous. The restaurants were extremely expensive also and the portions were ridicously small.

Staff and property outstanding. Room Price somewhat inflated. Food price excessively high compared to surronding areas where great restaurants available within walking distance at a fraction of the cost.

This hotel is a beautiful old hotel in a gorgeous part of Italy. The surroundings can't be beat. We just felt that the value wasn't there for the price that we paid. We had just left a similar quality hotel in Lucerne, Switzerland (The Palace), and this property paled in comparison. We paid much more money at the Grand Tremezzo Hotel for less space and accomodations. The breakfasts were good -- although service was inadequate on some mornings. We had one dinner at the hotel's Wine Cellar restaurant. The meal was superb. However, it was very expensive. We had many meals in the local area that were on par with it for much less money. We're fortunate that we have the means to afford to splurge. If we were traveling on more of a budget, I would have been very upset. Ambiance is important, but not worth twice the price.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. She committed suicide when Norrin Radd was 7 years old. The cause of this was because of the simplistic nature of the Zenn-Lavians lifestyle and troubles with her husband, Jartran. Norrin blamed himself for his mother's death for centuries.With the help of Virtual Reality, the Surfer was able to obtain forgiveness from his mother and forgiveness to himself, realizing her death was not his fault. But this is not the last time they would see each other again. During the Infinity Crusade, the Surfer came to near death. He was in a train station on Zenn-La when Elmar and Jartran came to take him to the world of the dead. Elmar told him that is is not dead and he should return to the living world, for it was not his time. This is the choice he made.When Mephisto finally obtained the Silver Surfer's soul it is revealed that Mephisto is also in the possession of both of his parents, for they both committed suicide. The Surfer fought to free them and succeeded but their spirits left him behind and alone. The Surfer returned to her tombstone on Zenn-La and lit an eternal flame for her.

Flor De Sol is a Spanish Tapas Restaurant & Bar. Co-owners and sisters, Claudia Duran and Diana Gouchee, along with Kevin Gouchee opened this authentic Spanish Taverna in 1997. The sisters wanted to bring their culture to this neighborhood, show casing the variety of tapas from Southern Spain to the favorable Sangria, to the Candlelit Gothic interior, that seduces you the minute you walk in the door. Flor de Sol was created to educate patrons on Tapas, to savor Spain's nostalgic dishes, to enjoy the Flamenco rhythms; let us invite you to do just that, let the atmosphere consume you, learn and love.

I just received gordrob's fine image of a barn. Thanks for replacing the one that went astray in the mail. It is much appreciated.
This means I've received 24 of 24 in this round.
Thanks everyone.
P.S. I'm sitting out round 13, but I'll be aiming to dive in again for 14.

Composite Thermal Barrier
This example shows how to set up multiple sandwiched thin layers with different thermal conductivities in two different ways. First, the composite is modeled as a 3D object. In the second approach the Thin thermally resistive layer boundary condition is used to avoid resolving the thin domains. The technique is useful when modeling heat transfer through thermal barriers like multilayer coatings.
Radiative Heat Transfer in a Utility Boiler
This model uses the discrete-ordinates method (DOM) to analyze the radiative heat transfer in a utility boiler with internal obstacles. DOM is one of the most useful radiation models for prediction of radiative heat fluxes on the furnace walls of a combustion chamber. With this model, the behavior of the temperature and heat flux within the furnace and on the heat surfaces can be easily obtained ...
Temperature Field in a Cooling Flange
A cooling flange in a chemical process is used to cool the process fluid, which flows through the flange. The surrounding air cools the flange via natural convection. In the stationary model, the forced convection to the process fluid is modeled using a constant heat transfer coefficient. The natural convection cooling is modeled using tabulated empirical transfer coefficients that are ...
Optimizing a Thermal Process
A thermal processing scenario is modeled whereby two heaters raise the temperature of a gas flowing through a channel. The Optimization Module is used to find the heater power to maximize the outflow temperature, while maintaining a constraint on the peak temperature at the heaters themselves.
A Warm Sunny Day on the Beach under a Parasol
This model illustrate how to model thermal effects of the sun as an external radiative source and considers wavelength-dependent surface emissivities. Two styrofoam coolers are exposed to ambient conditions. A parasol provides shade for one of the coolers for most of the day. The temperature of the beverage cans in the coolers is computed over time.
Parameterized Window and Glazing Geometry
During the design of a building, environmental issues have gained considerable influence in the entire project. One of the first concerns is to improve thermal performances. In this process, simulation software are key tools to model thermal losses and performances in the building. The international standard ISO 10077-2:2012 deals with thermal performance of windows, doors and shutters. It ...
Radiative Heat Transfer in Finite Cylindrical Media—P1 Method
This model uses the Discrete-Ordinates method (DOM) to solve a 3D radiative transfer problem in an emitting, absorbing, and linear-anisotropic scattering finite cylindrical medium. Using the S6 quadrature of DOM leads to faster and more accurate results, which are needed in combined modes of heat transfer. The calculated incident radiation and heat fluxes agree well with published results ...

Shell Conduction
This model simulates a static analysis of heat conduction in a thin conductive shell. This is a benchmark model where the result is compared with a NAFEMS benchmark solution.
Convective Cooling of a Potcore Inductor
The inductor is a common component in a variety of electrical devices. Its applications include power transformation and measurements, and it can also be used together with capacitors to create oscillators.

The LC8 motors are really bullet proof with the exception of the water pump. I would not strip the bottom end open unless you have problems.
Athena makes good stuff. It's my first choice for gasket kits. Moose also makes good budget kits.
Frankly, before putting new rings on the motor, run a compression test. If it's all good, check the valve shims. If they are not at minimum, then I would call the motor good and would not take the risk of putting new rings in.
As for the base gasket, the seal is not under heavy pressure. I would apply a bead of 3-Bond 1184 on the case, let it tack up for 10 minutes before applying the gasket. 1184 is the stuff I use when assembling case bottom halves that don't have a gasket and it holds up well.
Do perform all the TSBs on the motor including the rotor bolts. Upgrade the water pump with the new shaft, seal, impeller, and side cover. Replace the counter balancer seal along with any other external seal like the shift seal and counter shaft sprocket seal.
I converted to a vacuum pepcock a long time ago and don't have to worry about it again.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 11/18/14
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The Chargers hired former Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt on Thursday to serve as the team's offensive coordinator. New San Diego coach Mike McCoy lauded Whisenhunt's experience with Arizona and Pittsburgh, saying Whisenhunt has a "very creative mind" and will be a great asset for the Chargers. Whisenhunt was fired by the Cardinals on Dec. 31 after six mostly losing seasons but he also led the franchise to its lone Super Bowl appearance in 2009. The Cards started the 2012 season 4-0 but lost 11 of 12 to finish 5-11 for the second time in three seasons. Before coming to the Cardinals, Whisenhunt was the offensive coordinator for the Steelers from 200-06, winning a Super Bowl in his final season in Pittsburgh.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Steven K. Hamick, BIS, RCP, RRT (William Beaumont Hospitals)
Description: Now in its sixth decade as an introductory anatomy and physiology classic, this 14th edition has been revised while retaining its tradition of excellence. The previous edition was published in 2008.
Purpose: This classic has been retooled to accommodate both modern learning styles for students and teaching styles for instructors and combines readability, visuals, and computer-based features with its companion CD and interactive online coursework.
Audience: It is written for nursing and allied health professions students, but it is so well done that it would be an excellent high school textbook as well. With over 60 years of combined teaching experience, the authors are certainly experts.
Features: The 21 chapters present core anatomy and physiology concepts. Although each chapter is self-contained, structural information is coupled to important functional concepts, and physiological content balances the anatomical information to provide students with an integrated understanding of human structure and function. The book uses numerous pedagogic features, including chapter outlines and objectives, study tips, key terms and pronunciation guides, quick check questions, animation direct boxes (companion CD), inserts, essays, review and critical thinking questions, and chapter tests. Updated illustrations and images appear throughout to reinforce concepts. There is also a unique section between chapters four and five called The Clear View of the Human Body which contains text as well as a full color, semitransparent model which contains several transparent images of virtual dissections across several different planes.
Assessment: The authors have done an outstanding job revising this classic. It is easy to read with excellent visuals, and is an excellent value. It is highly recommended not only for students, but also for school, public, and college/university libraries as a reference.

"Give her a Brazilian in Room 1!" This is the new catchphrase
around Stroger. That's right, we're giving Brazilians at the pain
clinic in Cook County Hospital. I occasionally worry that a passing
doctor thinks I'm waxing ladies in the treatment room, but the
concern quickly fades as I get down to business. This Brazilian is
all in the ears, and the only intimate part is the bleeding. I
always think bleeding is sort of a personal interaction.
According to a successful acupuncturist in Brazil, the best
treatment for relieving joint pain with heat signs is to tonify the
energy of the major internal organs, direct it towards the affected
joints, and then bleed it out of the body. How do we do this
exactly? Here's a sample case: inflammatory knee pain, let's say on
the left knee. It's painful, the area is red, swollen, and warm to
the touch. The patient often reports feeling warm, the pulse is
slightly rapid, and the tongue is often red.
The Brazilian technique is essentially a three-step process.
First, we needle the following points on the ear of the
non-affected side: Shen Men, Sympathetic, Liver, Kidney, Heart, and
Lung. Six needles so far, if you're counting. Then, we needle the
corresponding painful body parts on the ear of the affected side of
the body: Knee. OK, we're up to 7 needles so far. Totally doable.
Now we let those needles rest for a while while we enter the SOAP
note in the lovely electronic medical records system at
After about 10 or 15 minutes, we take those needles all out.
Next step, we get intimate. It's time to bleed the Ear Apex on the
affected side. I like to give it a few hard squeezes to ensure I'm
stealing as much hot blood out of this person's body as possible.
Don't worry -- it's usually just a drop or two.
What happens next? Well, it varies. Often times, though, it goes
like this. The patient stands up, wiggles around to "test" for any
perceptible changes in pain level and range of motion, and starts
to smile. "I feel better!" Pain levels are dropping from 10/10's to
4/10's in that 15-minute treatment time. Is it unorthodox?
Somewhat. Is it effective? Seems to be. Will we keep giving
Brazilians at Stroger? You bet.
What could the two possibly have in common? No, you guess first.
Something to do with swords? Nope. OK, I'll tell you.
I was cooking dinner last night, and
the recipe did not call for celery. I had a flash memory
of a friend on Facebook posting that she added a bunch of random
things to the granola she was making that day, because she wanted
to clean out her pantry. I've been there. Two handfuls of raisins
kicking around in the bottom of the snack pantry (in a container -
I'm not that gross)...about a tablespoon of crushed pecans that
I'll save for years rather than throw out -- come on, those things
are expensive! Into the granola they go....
There I am, cooking dinner, the dinner that did not
call for celery. This is about to relate to acupuncture, just wait
for it. I look into the fridge and notice I have two giant packs of
celery from the previous two weeks. My son had been on a celery
kick for months, inhaling several stalks per day, and of course he
suddenly hated it as soon as I stocked up. "I'll just chop some up
and toss it into the pan with the onions and garlic I'm sautéing
for the stuffed peppers recipe." Boom. In it goes.
No harm done, right? Maybe.... In the
Traditional Chinese Medicine branch called Dietary Therapy, we
learn the nature and properties of foods from kelp to congee and
oats to oranges. Here's the medicinal profile for celery according
to TCM: cooling, sweet, slightly bitter, benefitting the stomach
and spleen, calming an irritated liver, improving digestion, drying
dampness, purifying the blood, reducing nervousness and vertigo,
clearing heat from the eyes, urine and mouth, and relieving
headaches caused by stomach heat and stagnated liver qi (Pitchford,
2002, p. 539).
That would have been fine. Even if you didn't understand most of
that, trust me, it would have been fine. Who doesn't have some
stomach heat and stagnated liver qi these days! Then, as quickly as
I tossed the chopped celery into the recipe that didn't call
for it, I heard Dr. Zhu's voice in my head, reminding us that
we cannot just throw in some extra needles just because we
opened a 10-pack!
What's the big deal about haphazardly
adding things in after the recipe (yes, we could call an
acupuncture point prescription a "recipe")?
As Dr. Zhu explained, the point prescription is just that -- a
prescription. You should take it seriously and respect the balance
and harmony of the points that are working together. There are
master-couple points in there; I saw a guest-host thing going on. I
know she's tonifying the mother and sedating the child on the Lung
channel. Someone said "extraordinary." Seems like it's getting
crazy, but really it's not. It's very calculated...complete and
time you find yourself in the kitchen with some extra celery to use
up, are you going to throw it into the pan when the recipe doesn't
call for it? Maybe... But, the next time you acupuncture interns
find yourselves in rooms full of open packs of needles, I hope you
do the right thing and leave them on the clean field instead of
just adding in the 3 extra opened needles. Just don't tell Dr. Kim--he
does not like wasted needles!'
Pitchford, P. (1996). Healing with whole foods: Oriental
traditions and modern nutrition. Berkeley, Calif: North
Atlantic Books.
Dr. Yurasek and I scrubbed into the isolation unit, donned our
masks, and needled an in-patient right in her hospital bed. I knew
that shift would be different. It was only my third day, but it
just felt different when I punched in that morning...and I was
Between our usual out-patient pain
clinic cases at Cook County Hospital, Dr. Yurasek, the other
morning interns, and I were discussing some of the more remarkable
results achieved with auricular acupuncture. That's putting needles
on ears, for the laypeople reading today. He told us about a
patient in a wheelchair who rolled in with several bullet wounds
and walked out the same day after the acupuncture
treatment. We told him about patients whose pain level went from
10/10 to 0/10 after their acupuncture treatment. It was basically
"one time at band camp" day at Stroger.
Dr. Yurasek was explaining that these types of staggeringly
effective results are the reason that acupuncture has been making
its way into the world of western medicine. Specifically, he said
it was the "portal to acupuncture ecstasy." That's actually the
start of an entirely different "one time at Stroger" story from
last week... but we aren't talking about that one here.
The point was that with the obvious decrease in patient pain
after a 10-minute needling and tui na treatment, it's hard
to shut the door in the face of the acupuncturist who wants to
treat the people. Let us into your hospitals! Share your space with
us, MDs! We were all on board... but how would we get the
administration to give us the time of day?
Then, the call came. The sixth floor
had an in-patient in acute abdominal pain, and her doctor wanted
the acupuncturist to come up and lend a hand -- a hand with a
needle at the end of it. And, since they called Dr. Yurasek, it
would be a big hand with a really, really big needle on the end of
it. We all know he likes those 6-inch needles. I don't even
near-faint anymore when he whips them out and drives them into a
patient's leg. I still look at the other side, though, expecting to
see the needle sticking out back there... I do still do that.
I had just hooked up my patient to the E-Stim machine and dimmed
the lights in her treatment room, when Dr. Yurasek peeked his head
in my room and said, "Let's go." Where were we going? I didn't know
yet. He calmly said, "There's an inpatient on the 6thfloor in acute
abdominal pain, and we're going up to needle her." Alrighty. If you
say so, sir. I walk next to him, fumbling through the pockets in my
white coat, knowing I probably needed to be bringing supplies or
Halfway upstairs he, very casually, mentions that the patient is
actually in an isolation unit, and we'll need to take extra
precautions. OK, ummm, is it too late to go back downstairs? What?
Thoughts of bringing home some exotic virus (other than the ones
I've already had) to my kids were flying through my mind.
Well, now I'm so nervous that I don't even know
where I am. Where are we heading? East wing? West wing? Where's the
lake? Finally, we make it to her unit. The nurses glance up at us
like, hey, no big deal, go on in. She's through that set of doors,
and then through that next set of doors... the ones with those red
signs taped to the window. OMG. "Droplet isolation"! I don't even
know what that means, but I'm nervous. Very nervous. We scrub in,
the nurse finally steps in and helps us with our facemasks before
we tied them on backwards, and basically pushed us through the next
set of doors.
Well, too late to back out now. Here we go. Luckily I had
needles in my pocket. Or he did, I can't even remember. The next 30
minutes were a blur, mostly because I was nearly passing out from
the recirculating carbon dioxide in my facemask. How do people wear
those for extended amounts of time? Clearly I was doing it wrong.
First timers, right here.
"Where's your worst pain right now," Dr. Yurasek asks the
patient, who I definitely thought was unconscious when we first
walked in, splayed out in her bed with the usual useless hospital
gown covering her nothing. "My back, and my leg, all the way down
to my foot," she says. Well, she's conscious. Great news for my
burgeoning anxiety. Abdominal pain, back pain, she's got it all,
but her back hurts the most right now. So, we treat her back pain.
Cue the 6-inch needles into the ancient secret lock-and-key points
now called "Gall Bladder 30" and Gall Bladder 34." Sciatic pain
relief on the way!
The patient is in less pain and is visibly more relaxed in her
body tension. She was in the middle of telling us a story, but then
she suddenly passed out asleep. OK. As long as she's not dead, I'm
going to make it. I run around like a crazy person in a crazy mask
looking for a gauze pad so we could take the needles out, and
finally, our job is done here. We walk back downstairs to the
outpatient pain clinic and resume our day.
"How's your internship at Stroger going," people keep asking me.
Awesome. It's freaking awesome. If you have the opportunity to
intern at Stroger, and you're not doing it, you're missing out.
As soon as I say, "I'm studying
acupuncture," their eyes light up. Everyone likes the idea of
acupuncture. It sounds exotic, ancient, and trendy all at the same
time. What could be better? Yes, the interest is there, but so,
undoubtedly, is the follow-up question, "What can acupuncture help
Gee, let me think. My first instinct, based on clinical and
personal experience, is to excitedly shout "EVERYTHING" in
someone's face. We all know that's not helpful, not specific, and
usually not socially acceptable. Instead, I try to reign myself in
and itemize a few conditions that might be of concern to the
individual in question. My answer then comes out sounding like,
"Oh, several things...trouble with sleep, irritability, irregular
periods, pain, you know...basically everything." I just can't
resist throwing that all-inclusive ending on there.
Maybe I'm not way out of line in doing
so. In ancient China, obviously Chinese medicine was the entire
medical system, including preventive care, acute care, chronic
care, you name it. Your acupuncturist could needle your face, moxa
your feet, gua sha your shoulders, tui na your back, and even
perform certain surgeries. Back then, "What does acupuncture treat"
would have definitely received my favorite answer, "EVERYTHING!"
Although, that's probably too rude and aggressive for ancient
China. They probably would have responded with something much more
humble, and then surprised the pants off you with their amazingly
effective acupuncture treatment.
Let's look for a compromise. In America
today, you can't just walk around saying that something that's not
a drug can treat, prevent, or cure a disease. You can't say it. So,
what can we say? In these delicate cases, I defer to the World
Health Organization, which lists conditions that acupuncture has
proven to be an effective treatment through controlled trials.
Although the list we all seem to use is incredibly old -- from 1996
-- we continue to see additional conditions helped by acupuncture
in individual studies such as those found via www.pubmed.gov.
Here's our old starting list:
Plus, for our reading pleasure, the World Health Organization
also gives us some hopeful additional categories. They list over 60
additional conditions and diseases that acupuncture has been
demonstrated to be effective for, but for which additional research
is needed. There are about 15 other conditions for which
acupuncture has been shown effective for in individual cases, or
for which conventional treatment is difficult or ineffective.
So, next time someone asks
me what acupuncture can help them with, I'm going to give in and
shout, "EVERYTHING," at them. After all, odds are I'd be right.
Does it treat this? Check. Does it treat that? CHECK!
If you don't pray, put them together anyway. In the
age of anything goes, I've taken to the lazy practice of praying
silently in my head while lying in bed at night. I don't know where
my hands are exactly, but they sure aren't folded nicely in front
of my chest like the iconic prayer image of the olden days.
Who cares? Why bother pressing your hands together and holding
them in that fairly awkward position that drove me nuts as a
Catholic school kid? I'll be the first to admit that I let my
fingers fall and intertwine into the sloppy prayer paws pose as
soon as the priest looked the other direction.
Now I realize I was screwing myself out of some real benefits.
Sure, God was probably disappointed in my faulty direction
following, but I'm not focusing on the spiritual deficit here. I'm
focusing on the physical and even the psychological benefits I --
and many other lazy prayers -- had been missing out on all my young
This whole conversation hinges on one
important point -- an acupuncture point -- called Pericardium 6, or
"PC6" as we call it, because again we're all too lazy to stick to
the formalities in life. What does PC6 have to do with prayer paws
(as my kids call them)? This now famous spot, two inches proximal
to the inner wrist crease, has been dubbed the most researched
acupoints of the modern day. You know those "anti-nausea"
motion-sickness type bracelet bands, with the ball that presses
into the inner wrist? That thing's stimulating good ole PC6.
Why is PC6 such a beneficial acupoint? Our trusty
guide to acupuncture points and meridians and their energetic
functions is a beefy, rust-colored book usually referred to by its
author's last name, "Deadman." What does Deadman say about PC6? Oh,
nothing too exciting. Just that it treats all diseases of the
chest, particularly the heart, but also benefits the lungs, too. It
can be used for heart surgery analgesia. What? Yes! No anesthesia
necessary...just squeeze PC6 for me while I go under the knife!
In TCM terms, PC6 "unbinds the chest and regulates
qi," "regulates the heart and calms the spirit," "harmonizes the
stomach to relieve nausea," and "clears heat." It's indicated in
conditions such as heart pain, palpitations, cough, asthma,
insomnia, anxiety, abdominal masses, fevers, malaria, irregular
menstruation, and swellings in the armpits. Nothing important
there, right? Not! PC6 does just about everything you could want an
acupoint to do.
During a recent advanced seminar class with Dr. Robin Fan, we
discussed the benefit of stretching the Kidney meridian in cases of
heel pain. Suddenly, all I could picture was the traditional prayer
pose--hands out front, pressed gently together, stretching and
stimulating the bulk of the Pericardium meridian!
It makes sense. What is the function of prayer if
not to calm the mind and spirit? It's not just Catholics and other
Christians who have always used this prayer pose, either. As my
mind wandered -- sorry, Dr. Fan -- around the globe, I saw the
Chinese practicing qi gong poses, the Indians practicing
yoga poses, etc. Every tradition I could think of involved some use
of this position.
In anthropology, when we see similar customs or values amongst a
variety of cultural groups around the world, we call those core
elements "cultural universals." In other words, everybody's doing
it. Why? The answer is one that, despite my need to create an
evidence-based practice, I've always secretly promulgated;
sometimes, you don't need to sit around waiting for a formal
research study to prove a truth. It's lovely that western medicine
has put together some studies that do show the efficacy of PC6 in
some conditions, but I'm not waiting for them to prove the rest.
I'm going with Deadman and the ancient world traditions on this
Pray on, prayers!
