Many years ago I was reading a prayer letter from a missionary in the Dominican Republic. In the last paragraph the missionary wrote these words, "Alexis asked me a couple months ago, 'What would have happened to me and all the people in our church if you had not come to the Dominican Republic?'" What if he had not gone? What if the missionary had decided to do something other than going to the Dominican Republic and preaching the Gospel?
I have often thought, "What if the Lord Jesus Christ, after counting the cost of man's salvation, had decided to stop short of the Cross?" Thank God He did not! The Bible says in Hebrews 12:2, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." We praise God for the great salvation that we have. It cost Jesus His very life. It cost God His only begotten Son. It is free to us, but it is not cheap.
What if every Bible-believing church in America took seriously the Great Commission? Jesus said in Mark 16:15, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature." I praise God for churches all over the world that have taken seriously God's Great Commission to us. This was His last command; it should be our first priority. We can get so involved in so many things that we fail to do the one thing that God has commanded us to do. We are to make Him known to "every creature" in our generation.
Approximately 80% of the independent Baptist churches in America do not have a missions conference. That is—they do not have a time during the year that is set apart for the emphasis of worldwide evangelization. I am aware that we need to emphasize world evangelization every Sunday; however, churches that are being used by God to make an impact in world missions set aside some time every year when missions is the main emphasis.
What if every Bible-believing, fundamental Baptist gave something every week to missions above his tithe and offering? In recent days, many churches have used what we call "grace-giving" or "faith-promise giving" to encourage their members to give something every week, above their regular offering, for worldwide evangelization. The average Baptist in America gives less than $20 per year for missions above his tithe. This is less than 50 cents per week. What if everybody took seriously God's command to evangelize the entire world?
What if there was a great emphasis on world evangelization in all of our Christian schools, our Bible colleges, and our seminaries? What if our teachers and administrators had as their goal to train people to evangelize the world in our generation? What a great difference this would make. Our missions organizations would be flooded with mission candidates.
What if God's people took seriously the prayer requests of our Lord Jesus Christ? After looking at the multitudes of hurting people, Jesus said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few" (Matthew 9:37). When Jesus Christ made that statement, there were only 250 million people on the face of the earth. Today, there are over six billion people. While the harvest field is much larger today than it was when Jesus walked upon the face of the earth, the force of laborers has not increased in proportion. The problem is not with the harvest; the problem is a lack of laborers.
After making that great statement, Jesus commanded His disciples, "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into his harvest." What if you and I would go before God daily and pray to Him that He would send forth laborers into this great harvest field?
Many people are fearful of praying that God will send forth laborers. Their fears rest in the fact that they, themselves, are not willing to go to the mission field, and that if they prayed, God might lay the mission field on their hearts. Someone has well said, "We should not pray unless we are willing to be the answer to God's prayer." Many times a Christian has become burdened for a mission field. As he begins to pray for that particular field, God lays on his heart the need for him to go. Years ago I was in a conference where a pastor was praying that God would send some of his people to the mission field. On Saturday evening he asked me to go to his home. He expressed to me that no one in the church had come forward to go to the mission field, but he said, "I believe that God is calling me and my family." Thank God they went.
Many years ago, a pastor and I were eating lunch in a beautiful Christian home. The mother said to the pastor, "Pastor, every year at missions conference I get very nervous. I am fearful that God will call one of my children to the mission field. I do not know that I could bear to let them go." Someone may say, "Brother Sisk, isn't that rather normal?" It may be normal, but it is not Christian. I cannot help but remember John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son…." The world is waiting to hear the glorious Gospel. You and I need to be praying that the Lord of the harvest would send forth laborers into His great fields. We should be willing for God to use us and our loved ones anywhere in this life. What if I really did all that I could and gave as I should and prayed as God has commanded me? What kind of an impact could I have on worldwide evangelization?
Thank God, the missionary went to the Dominican Republic, and Alexis and his friends were saved. Thank God, Jesus Christ went all the way to Calvary and suffered, bled, and died so you and I could be saved from our sins. My constant prayer is that we will not come short of that which God has for each of us.

The poet worries that the Black Maria is coming for him. The music upstairs if for him. He asks an unnamed person (called only Babe) whether she has ever seen the sun rise full of fun. The Black Maria passes by and a new day has begun.
In order to understand this poem one must know that the term Black Maria refers to a dark police vehicle that was used to transport arrested or convicted persons to the proper authorities. The poet worries that this car is coming for him; he represents the black man who is perpetually endanger of being deemed a criminal. At the same time, the dawn is coming and he is full of hope for a new day. Despite his tenuous position in society, he lives fully and loves the dawn of a new day.

By Navy Lt. Jennifer CraggSpecial to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 16, 2008 Psychological health issues and traumatic brain injuries are primary areas of study in military medicine, a senior Department of Defense medical official said.
"What we are learning in studies will lead to some major breakthroughs in the world of medicine," Dr. Michael E. Kilpatrick, deputy director for force health protection and readiness programs in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, said in an interview on the "Dot Mil Docs" program on BlogTalkRadio.com.
Kilpatrick said that the better they understand how to prevent both psychological health issues and traumatic brain injuries will lead to quicker diagnosis and improve wounded servicemembers' treatment time.
He added that the contributions military medicine has made to the world are born out of the urgencies and contingencies encountered on the battlefield.
"When you to go to war, you don't have a fixed building or a fixed structure, and you have equipment that has to be much more mobile and much more rugged," Kilpatrick said. "So I think what the military has learned in combat and all theaters of operation have been those contributions to medicine."
He added that technological advances since the Vietnam War have directly benefited servicemembers' ability to survive wounds suffered in combat.
"One of the major breakthroughs in Vietnam was the use of the helicopter to transport the wounded," Kilpatrick said. "That has advanced to today's war, where we have actually flying intensive care units. Where we can put multiple people inside a large plane with nurses, technicians and doctors and safely transport them out of theater to a major hospital to get the quality care they need and deserve."
In addition, the ability to quickly move the injured out of harm's way has increased the rate at which servicemembers also recover from injuries suffered on the battlefield.
"In today's war, in the combat theater, 97 percent of those people who were wounded in theater survived those wounds because of the medical care," Kilpatrick said. "That's just a phenomenal number, and it's because that care is so immediate. Within seconds or minutes, there is medic or a corpsman there being able to use a one-handed tourniquet to stop bleeding, [or] able [to] use a 'Fibernet' cloth bandage, which is another research product, that has gone from bench to battlefield to save people's lives."
The military medical field consists of 140,000 care providers, educators, trainers and medical researchers. These professionals work at 65 military hospitals, 412 medical clinics and 414 dental clinics.
Numerous classrooms and research laboratories around the world also are sponsored and run by all branches of the services. Some of those medical researchers have initiated the Millennium Cohort Study, which was started five years ago, in which they are studying 140,000 servicemembers over 20 years.
The servicemembers will report in every three years about their health and to be evaluated, so researchers can better understand the rigors of military service and how it affects long-term health, Kilpatrick said.
"We are trying to look prospectively at people, and I think this is a very important study that is ongoing," she said. "We think in the next 15 years the studies will be invaluable not only to the military people, but to our civilian counterparts."
Kilpatrick also said that military research has been directly applied to the civilian world. For instance, Lifeline helicopters that rescue civilians after highway crashes evolved from military medical-evacuation flights, he explained.

Beating drum resounding,
common thoughts confounding.
Emotions striped bare
confusion is there.
Feeling for him
whilst knowing,
this love may
not be worth showing.
Chances slim
yet hope begins.
Ignoring past,
heart beating fast.
Woefully smitten
by love
I was bitten.
Dreams of fantasy
hopes for ecstasy,
just wanting
you next to me.
Night fades to day
and again
he vanishes away.

Brake Light On
BMWs have multiple ways of letting you know brake service is due. An actual failure of the braking pressure, fluid level, traction control or ABS systems will cause the actual word "brake" to be displayed either in yellow or red depending on what fault is occurring. A brake pad warning lamp will be shown if the vehicle's brake pads are at their minimum, or on some vehicles, an actual message will be displayed indicating "Check brake linings, visit workshop." So when you see the Brake light, bring your vehicle into Autoscope.
Brakes are Squealing
Brakes are Jerky
If your brakes are pulling during use, this can be caused by a brake fluid leak onto the pad surface causing loss of friction or a faulty brake hose. If they are shimmying while braking, the most common cause is warped brake rotors. Brake rotors can warp from being too thin to handle the heat generated from braking, or due to pad material being imbedded into one spot on the rotor causing a surface that is no longer uniform.
Autoscope has trained BMW technicians to ensure you get the quality brake service you need at affordable prices. Call any of our three locations to make an appointment.

Hood Repair
Disposal Repair
Washer Repair
Dryer Repair
Condenser Cleaning & Sealed System Repair
In dealing with sealed system repairs, some technicians use a quick-fix that we in the industry call a sweep charge. Sweep charges are less labor intensive, but they don't clean the system of contamination and can cause problems that may result in an even more significant (and costly) repair. We at AAA Appliance Service Center don't perform sweep charges as we prefer to repair refrigerators right the first time.
We recommend that you avoid sealed system problems altogether by having your condenser cleaned. Most manufacturers recommend annual condenser cleanings.

Grizzlies Live: Grizzlies 91, TrailBlazers 85 FINAL
Wrapping win No. 40 for the Grizzlies, a 91-85 victory over Portland
The storyline: The Grizzlies, playing without starting power forward Zach Randolph (sprained ankle) and his backup Darrell Arthur (back and neck spasms), trailed Portland by 17 points (63-46) with 6:05 left in the third quarter.
The spark: Reserve guard Jerryd Bayless was 0-of-4 when he finally hit his first shot, a 26-foot three-pointer with 00.6 seconds left in the third quarter that cut Portland's lead to 67-65.
And he wasn't finished. In the first 3:07 of the fourth quarter, he scored seven of the Grizzlies' first nine points as Memphis took the lead first time since 7:26 left in the game. Bayless added another three with 5:42 left, starting a 7-0 spurt that game the Griz an 83-82 edge heading into the final four minutes.
"We were obviously down, so I was trying to get us going," said Bayless, who scored 10 of his game-total 13 points in the fourth quarter. "I was just trying to give us a lift."
The stopper: The Grizzlies had to have lots of them late. Bayless locked down Portland rookie point guard Damian Lillard, who had just two of his team-high 20 points in the third quarter. Tony Allen put the clamps of Trail Blazers small forward Nicolas Batum, who scored 10 points but none in the second half. Marc Gasol bodied LaMarcus Aldridge, who scored 2 points on free throws in the final period.
"All five guys collectively had a sense of urgency that we were going to get stops," Allen said. "We keyed in on their sets. They tried to get in inside to LaMarcus and he tried to swing it outside to those guys for threes. I thought we did a good job of covering the shooters.
"We can't keep coming back, it's going to haunt us to keep having to do this. We play better with adversity, but we need to go into the next game and play the second half like we played the first half."
The scorer: Center Marc Gasol shouldered the scoring and rebounding load in Randolph's absence, going for 23 points and 12 rebounds.
"I knew we'd solve it," Gasol said of the Grizzlies' slow start. "We showed a lot of heart, but it's not enough. You can get away with it with some teams, but the good ones are going to pull away and go up 30."
Considering the Grizzlies came back to beat Dallas a week ago after trailing by 27 points, did you think a 17-point deficit against Portland on Wednesday night would be impossible to overcome?
The Grizzlies, even without two of their top six players and another one under the weather, didn't think that way. Playing to their strength, the Griz got down and dirty in the fourth quarter, playing lockdown defense to rally for a 91-85 victory at FedExForum.
Point guard Mike Conley led the Grizzlies (40-19) with 20 points, hitting two free throws with 16.1 seconds left for an 89-85 lead and then forcing Portland rookie Damian Lillard to miss a forced outside jumper.
Marc Gasol added 23 points and 12 rebounds for the Grizzlies, and Jerryd Bayless scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter.
Memphis played without starting power forward Zach Randolph (sprained ankle) and his backup Darrell Arthur (back and neck spasms). Swingman Quincy Pondexter played 22 minutes, despite getting food poisoning earlier in the day.
Portland (28-32) was led by Lillard, who had 20 points.
8:45 p.m. Memphis tried hard to dent the lead in the third quarter, and finally got into Portland in the last three minutes. The Griz, with no Zach Randolph or Darrell Arthur, found it difficult to run any high-low post. Finally, Tayshun Prince played a high-low post game with Marc Gasol, and the Memphis offense suddenly became more than Mike Conley dribbling looking for an opening. Jerryd Bayless nailed a three with 0.6 left to cut Portland lead to 2.
Leading scorers: Grizzlies – Conley 18, Gasol 17. Trail Blazers – Lillard 18, Hickson 12
Leading rebounders: Grizzlies – Gasol 9, Prince 6. Trail Blazers – Hickson 10, Aldridge 8
8:07 p.m. Portland's bench stretched the lead to 36-24 with 7:50 left before the half. The Trail Blazers maintained that lead at the half, 50-38. Portland point guard Damian Lillard, favorite to win NBA Rookie of the Year, had 14 points in the opening half, basically blowing past Griz point guard Mike Conley anytime he wanted.
Leading scorers: Grizzlies – Gasol 10, Conley 7. Trail Blazers – Lillard 14, Batum 10
Leading rebounders: Grizzlies – Gasol 7, Prince 5. Trail Blazers – Hickson 7, Aldridge 5
7:37 p.m.
Grizzlies, with a total lack of ball movement, wasn't a first quarter match for Portland. Memphis shot 30.8 percent from the field (8-of-26), and the problem was the wrong people were taking shots. Defensive specialist Tony Allen jacked up almost a third of the Griz shots (3-for-8). Portland at 45 percent, with snappy passing for open jumpers, took control.
6:35 p.m. Three things to watch
1. Ed Davis' first start: Because Zach Randolph (sprained ankle) and Darrell Arthur (neck and back spasms) were hurt in back-to-back games at Miami and at Orlando last Friday and Sunday, Ed Davis gets his first start as a Grizzly. Davis, who came to the Griz from Toronto as part of the Rudy Gay deal, has scored 10 points twice in his last five games (both times vs. Orlando). The 6-10, 225-pound former University of North Carolina star is long and active. He's shooting 65 percent from the field in his 11 games with the Griz. Davis' backup vs. the Trailblazers will be the barely used Jon Leuer. He was traded to the Griz on Jan. 22 from the Cavs and has played 31 minutes spread over 7 games. Quiet guy. Never heard him utter word. Also, Griz swingman Quincy Pondexter is a gametime decision. He's got food poisoning.
2. The Rookie of the Year: Portland guard Damian Lillard, a 6-5 guard from Weber State, has emerged as the leader for the NBA's Rookie of the Year honors. He averaging 18.5 points and 6.4 assists, mostly going to is left. The average basketball fan doesn't know much about him because when Portland is an average franchise that doesn't get much TV time, it's like playing in witness protection. He wears No. 0 in honor of his hometown, Oakland, Calif., and in honor of the state where plays in the NBA (Oregon). I'm thinking either Damian overthought the jersey number decision or `0' was the only available number and he did a great PR job of spinning it.
3. Everybody hit the boards: Portland (44.6 percent) and the Griz (44.1) shoot about the same from the field, and average about the same amount of rebounds (42.8 to 41.7, Memphis). But the Grizzlies have to be on red alert because Portland is sixth in the league in second-chance points. Gotta box, box, box.
It is March, and Portland visits the Grizzlies Wednesday night in FedExForum.
When Griz point guard Mike Conley puts those things together, there's a mixture of great memories and tinges of sadness.
March means March Madness, and Conley can't help but remember how he and fellow freshman center Greg Oden led Ohio State to the 2007 Final Four (beating the University of Memphis in the regional finals) before losing to Florida in the national title game.
"All of us will attest that going to the Final Four was one of the greatest times of our lives," said Conley after Wednesday morning's shootaround. "A lot of people don't get to experience being on a team that played for a national championship. It was unbelievable."
Oden had 25 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots in the title game loss to Florida. He was the No. 1 overall pick of the '06 draft taken by Portland, and Conley went three spots later at No. 4 to the Griz.
Conley has become the starting point guard on a playoff team. Oden, thought to be the next great NBA center when he was drafted, was released last year by Portland. He played just 82 games in five seasons, because of three micro fracture knees surgeries.
Normally when Portland plays in Memphis, Conley and Oden, who were also high school teammates in Indianapolis, will get together. But not this season.
"He'd come over to my place and hang out," Conley said. "It's unusual to not see him on that team. Every day I'm thankful to be healthy, and for the opportunity I've been given. Considering all the things I've been through in my short career, and seeing what Greg and other guys have been through, you realize how uncertain this league is. I'm thankful for every day I get to play."
Conley said when he looks at other centers in the NBA, he can't help but think how Oden would have compared if healthy.
"I think about it a lot," Conley said. "When you think about certain guys succeeding in the league, knowing what Greg was coming out of college, Greg was THAT guy coming out of college. What would he have been six years later?
"It's tough for me not to see him on the court. I'm hoping that next season he can do that and prove people wrong."
In January, ESPN.com reported that Oden was rehabbing his knee, splitting time between Columbus, Ohio where he was taking classes at Ohio State, and Indianapolis. He's hoping a NBA team will sign him for next season.
"I talk to him every few weeks or so to catch up and see what he's doing," Conley said of Oden. "He doesn't bug me too much during the season. When we get time, we call each other."
Conley is hoping Oden gets another NBA shot.
"If he can get one injury-free year to get his confidence up," Conley said, "he can show people what he can do, even with bad knees. He's just 25. He's got many years ahead of him if he can stay healthy."
SHOOTAROUND SHORTS: Griz forward Darrell Arthur, who took a nasty fall in Sunday's win at Orlando, said he won't play against Portland and possibly not in Sunday's home game vs. New Orleans. Arthur got fouled in mid-air and landed on his back first before his head hit the floor. Team medical personnel ruled that Arthur didn't sustain a concussion, though he had one earlier this season. "I knew I was going to fall and I tried to brace myself, but I couldn't get control of my body," said Arthur, who was starting in place of Zach Randolph (ankle sprain). "I knew it was going to hurt. I just have a lot of soreness in my back, which I get can get rid of." With Arthur and Randolph ailing, Griz coach Lionel Hollins said that Ed Davis, acquired from Toronto a few weeks ago as part of the three-team trade that sent Rudy Gay to the Raptors, will start vs. Portland. "I'm not worried about Ed having a good night or a bad night," Hollins said. "I'm worried about our whole team coming out and playing the way we're supposed to play, aggressively, attacking, defending and rebounding."

University of California faculty leaders have endorsed an open letter that opposes legislation to allow public college students to earn degree credits for online courses from outside education providers, officials said Tuesday.
The letter was overwhelmingly approved by the executive council of the UC Academic Senate and "raises grave concerns" about the bill introduced last week by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, said Robert Powell, chair of the Academic Senate.
"There is no possibility that UC faculty will shirk its responsibility to our students by ceding authority over courses to any outside agency," Powell and Vice Chair William Jacob wrote in the open letter. "The clear self-interest of for-profit corporations in promoting the privatization of public higher education through this legislation is dismaying."
Steinberg's bill would allow students who can't get into overcrowded classes on campus to take similar online courses from outside institutions, including private companies such as Coursera and Udacity, which provide "massive open online courses" that are reshaping higher education.
Under the proposal, a panel of nine faculty members from the UC, California State University and California Community Colleges systems would have the authority to approve as many as 50 high-demand courses for which students could receive credit.
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said the first-of-its-kind legislation is aimed at relieving classroom bottlenecks that are making it more difficult to graduate.
Faculty leaders counter that course access is not an acute issue within the UC system, which has some of the highest graduation rates among public universities. In addition, UC already has more than 100 online courses and is developing many more, they said.

Marketing is a huge part of building any company. And with proper marketing comes human networking which often involves the exchange of business cards. These bits of paper often contain information about your website, phone number, e-mail address, and location of your company headquarters.
With letterpress style business cards the type of relief printing uses a printing press accessible to a type-high bed.

Steam Pumping Engine - Austral Otis, No.7 Pumping Engine, MMBW Spotswood Sewerage Pumping Station, 1911 Reg. No: ST 038264
- Summary:
- In 1902 the Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works began operating a new steam pumping engine at the Spotswood sewerage pumping station. It was built by Hathorn Davey & Co. of Leeds, UK. This engine was an inverted vertical rotative direct-acting triple-expansion surface-condensing design, it featured fully steam-jacketed cylinders and inter-cylinder steam receivers. This engine proved to be 70% more efficient than the four locally-built Thompson & Co Worthington type triple-expansion engines installed at Spotswood between 1895 and 1897 and 28% more efficient than the single Austral Otis pumping engine installed in No. 6 pumping well in 1901.
When the MMBW required additional pumping engines in 1909, Austral Otis were asked to prepare plans for four new engines, this time based largely on the successful Hathorn Davey design, with a few minor modifications. The first two new Austral Otis engines were commissioned in June and July 1911, followed by the remaining two in mid-1914. Four additional boilers, again supplied by Thompson & Co. of Castlemaine, were installed in 1909 in preparation for these engines. This brought the plant at the pumping station to a total of ten manually-stoked coal-fired boilers and ten steam pumping engines, each of about 300 horsepower, with a combined pumping capacity of 80 million gallons per day (363 ML/day).
This engine is located in the No. 7 pumping well at the southern end of the North Engine Room. It was installed in 1911.

Sluman and Funk win Legends of Golf
RIDGEDALE, Mo. (AP) Jeff Sluman and Fred Funk teamed to win the Champions Tour's Legends of Golf on Sunday, and Jim Colbert and Jim Thorpe topped the Legends Division for players 65 and older.
Sluman and Funk finished with a 6-under 48 at rainy Top of the Rock, the first par-3 course used in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event, to beat Jay Haas and Peter Jacobsen by a stroke.
Sluman holed a 6-foot par putt for the victory on the final hole.
"For some reason I've always done well in these team-type events," Sluman said. "I don't know what it is."
The winners finished at 20-under 159. They opened with an 11-under 61 in better-ball play on the regulation Buffalo Ridge course and had a 50 on Saturday on the par-3 layout.
Sluman also won last year, teaming with Brad Faxon in Savannah, Georgia.
"Maybe I've got a good eye for partners," Sluman said.
Funk was quick to return the complement.
"He's the common denominator," Funk said.
Sluman won for the sixth time on the Champions Tour, and Funk for the ninth.
Haas and Jacobsen, the second-round leaders, shot 50. Haas missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole of the day.
"I'm disappointed because I hit a beautiful iron in there and it was as easy a putt as you can get, straight up the hill, and I just pulled it a little bit," Haas said. "We're mixed emotions right now. We're very happy to have finished second, but we had an opportunity. You just don't get that many, so it's nice to take advantage of them when you do.
Sluman and Funk had a 1-under 26 in the opening alternate-shot nine and closed with a 5-under 22 in the best-ball nine.
"It seemed like they kept hitting it to three feet. The first five or six holes they hit it to three feet and made birdie," Jacobsen said. "You're not going to get more clutch than those two guys."
Craig Stadler and Kirk Triplett closed with a 52 to finish third at 14 under, the Kentucky duo of Russ Cochran and Kenny Perry was 13 under after a 49.
In the nine-hole Legends finale, Colbert and Thorpe had a 4-under 23 in better-ball play for a three-stroke victory over Bruce Fleisher and Larry Nelson. Colbert and Thorpe finished at 11 under for 45 holes.
Colbert won the then-Demaret Division for players 70 and older, teaming with Bob Murphy.
"I couldn't ask for a better partner because I know he's a fighter," Thorpe said. "This guy's got so much fire, so much fight in him."
Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player were fifth at 5 under.
"I think Gary played reasonably well. I didn't," Nicklaus said. "I got worn out yesterday and I didn't play very well and I played very poorly today. I don't think we played particularly well in total. We felt like we could both play better than that, but we just didn't."
Sluman and Funk each earned $230,000, and Colbert and Thorpe got $60,000 each.
"The tournament was a lot of fun," Funk said. "It was just a real treat. It turned out to be really fun and a real treat to play this par 3. And it is a little nerve-wracking, like yesterday, with the alternate shot because it just seems to put more pressure on you."

Law School Applications / Re: Part-time apps?« on: November 12, 2004, 03:58:25 AM »
Nope, I don't have a legit reason, and you don't sound rude. I just want to increase my chances at some schools my GPA is really hurting me. I just don't want to ruin my apps for certain schools that are reasonable for me to get in (~30-40% chance) if I apply part-time and they reject me cuz I have no legit reason. Guess I could just put in something in my PS about financial reasons but it would really throw off the flow of my paper. I would rather do an addendum, do you think that would be sufficient?

Prince George's County laid the groundwork for a possible state trade mission to Brazil in late spring, having sent a small delegation to a Rio de Janeiro information technology conference last week.
The delegation comprised Elizabeth Crittenden, the international business specialist for the county's economic development corporation, and representatives of three county businesses. Their trip ran from Sept. 1 to Saturday.
A major focus of the trip was introducing Brazilian businesses to Prince George's through the RioInfo conference and thus establishing relationships that could lead to contracts as Rio prepares to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
"At least 1,000 more foreign businesses now know about Prince George's," said Crittenden, who also speaks Portuguese. "For so long, we've been focused on business with Africa. Now, we're looking at business with Asia and Latin America."
She said the trip also "bore out amazing contracts" for businesses, including one information technology company, Ascellon in Landover, whose executives had 16 meetings on the first day. The trip also eased the opportunity for county businesses to present their capabilities during the state's mission, Crittenden said.
"Due to Brazil's continued economic growth, there is increasing need for business services in management consulting and information technology," Ade Adebisi, CEO of Ascellon, wrote in an email to The Gazette. "Although things don't move as quickly as in the United States and it takes substantial resources to establish a presence in the country, we feel it is worthwhile."
Adebisi said he hopes to identify "concrete" partnerships and business opportunities within Brazil during the next few months as a result of the trip.
Ascellon has expertise in the health care and financial sectors.
State officials have been exploring a trade mission to Brazil after their trips to Vietnam, China, India and South Korea netted a combined $145 million in trade and investment deals for Maryland and participating businesses, according to state information.
But Prince George's officials wanted to take advantage of the recent information technology conference and the state was not ready, Crittenden said. So the county set out on its own, with help from the State Department's Office of Special Representative for Global Intergovernmental Affairs.
Although Crittenden's agency opened up the trip to other businesses, many might have been hesitant to leave the U.S. during the prime federal contracting months, she said.
"They didn't want to leave a known deal to pursue something that was unknown," Crittenden said. Others were reluctant to jump into a trade mission that lacked many high-level politicians.
"We don't need to be looking for opportunities [just] a year before the [Olympic] games," Crittenden said.
While trade is shrinking among more established foreign markets, emerging countries are growing, she said.
"The argument is very strong for looking at the international market to offset the decline in the domestic market," Crittenden said.
Brazil's $2.1 trillion gross domestic product makes it the world's seventh-largest economy. The nation expects to spend billions of dollars on infrastructure in the coming years.
Brazil also is among the key nations with which Maryland has focused on strengthening trade, including Russia, India and China.
Prince George's businesses are primarily eyeing the information technology, construction, and beauty and health sectors for opportunities, Crittenden said. "There is a large untapped Afro-Brazilian market."
Conrad Law, who was not able to pitch his Fort Washington online training business Knowledge Learning Solutions in person, worked through a proxy the county hired to help interested companies.
Xalles Ltd., a Washington, D.C., management consultant firm, helped companies prepare for the trip and schedule meetings. The company also spoke with Brazilian business executives on Law's behalf.
"To do this all by yourself can be difficult," said Rui Lopes, a business development manager with Xalles.
Xalles also modified other company marketing materials to better reach the Brazilian audience and helped with interpretation, he said.
"You can't expect to go there and just do business. It's a long, involved process. You go there to meet and learn," Lopes said. "Ascellon and Elizabeth did a good job of promoting Prince George's to Brazil."
Xalles also worked with Bric, a Lanham investment company, during the trip.

levator anguli oris (anatomy)
You have 3 open access pages left.UK healthcare workers and students can get FREE subscriptions... click here.
Levator anguli oris is a dilator muscle of the lips. It originates from the canine fossa inferior to the infraorbital margin on the maxilla.
It passes inferiorly and from deep to superficial to insert into the lateral edge of the upper lip and into the modiolus. Some fibres pass through the modiolus to blend with the fibres of depressor anguli oris.
It is innervated by the buccal branch of the facial nerve (VII).
The action of levator anguli oris is to elevate the angle of the mouth.

Local eats in Vegas for Sunday afternoon
Howdy all, I'm going to be in Vegas for a Bachelor party this upcoming weekend; after all the debauchery, I have Sunday afternoon to myself before I head back to NYC on a red-eye.
I was wondering if y'all had any recs for a good "must-have" meal before I head back. Nothing fancy or hotel-oriented (I can get all that stuff here in NYC); more along the lines of a diner (with food suggestions), burger joint, taco stand, food truck, or some local great eatery that I'd have a hard time finding something similar outside of Vegas.
It'll be a late flight, so I will have a bit of time on my hands, but I don't want to get out of the city. Oh, and nothing too heavy either, I understand it'll be a million degrees out there...any help is appreciated, thanks!
re: selfportrait93
The thought definitely crossed my mind on In-N-Out.
Unlike NYC, there is no "city" here. Once you leave Las Vegas, you are in the middle of the desert. I'd recommend RIncon de Buenos Aires on Spring Mountain Road between Decatur and Lindell.
We got no diners here. Might I suggest New Jersey?
Here's a few ideas:

Chinese breakfast and my idea of comfort.

This is my idea of comfort. Wear the bibs! Trust me on this one.

re: jackattack
Jack, what is your definition of a diner? Just because Black Bear Diner has the word "diner" in its name does not make it a diner.
All around the Vegas Valley there are scores of eateries with the word "deli" in their names. Are they really delicatessens; that synthesis of a grocery store and restaurant? A cursory look at the menus reveals that the vast majority are merely sandwich shops.
There used to be a chain of three diners in the valley named Las Vegas Diner. It had all the classic elements of a diner, the Art-Deco railroad car covered in gleaming stainless steel, counters, open 24 hours and served typical diner cuisine. They lasted about two years and folded. The food sucked. One still sits empty, one became a sushi bar. Ginja Sushi in Henderson and the last one in Summerlin reopened as Shari's Diner. Shari's markets itself as a local's hangout. Its location is almost 15 miles from the south Strip; not terribly convenient for visitors.
Names notwithstanding, I still submit there are no "diners" in the Vegas Valley.

4.a small, informal, and usually inexpensive restaurant.
re: jackattack
I'll be cabbing it. I've checked out the recs y'all have had so far, I definitely want to try Hot & Juicy Crawfish, but it sounds like a recipe for disaster if the next thing I'm doing is hopping on a plane for a redeye. Got any recs for a good burger?

re: dick980
Are you staying on the Downtown or the Strip? If you're Downtown, try 777 Microbrewery at the Main Street Station:
The Strip has a number of places that you can try: the Burger Bar in the Mandalay Bay (http://www.mandalaybay.com/dining/bur...), BLT in the Mirage
(http://www.mirage.com/restaurants/blt...) or Le Burger Brasserie in Paris (sorry, can't get the link to work).

I first discovered Old Town Deli when my company had them cater a meeting...I was hooked on the sandwiches and the delicious salad with pita chips. Salad doesn't usually enthrall me but the dressing was so yummy and the deli meats on the cold subs was thin and fresh. Now I head out during my lunch break to pick up a bite from them to hold me over til the next catered meeting. Yumm!
Posted by Anonymous on 03/11/2007
The Old Towne Deli is a favorite lunch spot for me. They have everything you can think of from gyros to crab cakes. The prices are cheap and reasonable and everything seems to be made fresh. The staff if the friendliest of any place I've eaten. The owner seems to know half the people by name. The space is small but it's a deli and the majority of people take the food back to work. I will continue to keep coming back no matter what.
Posted by c on 10/03/2006
The place is tiny. The food was good, but totally has a lot more potential. I had a chicken gyro, the flavors were amazing, the tzaziki sauce was delicious as well as the chicken, althouh a little over cooked, and the pita was microwaved to be warm, rather than just throwing it on the grill for a second. The fries were also the "good kind", the thicker type, not the stringy cheap ones. I will return.

If you invest into a premium gin, you should as well invest into a premium tonic water: Gents Swiss Roots Tonic Water is a high quality and unique tonic water. Besides the typical component chinin, Gents uses extracts from the gentian root (lat. gentiana lutea). This ingredient creates an additional pleasant bitterness. The taste is coupled with the fresh aroma of Sicilian lemons and the sweetness of natural beet sugar. Overall this results in a beverage that is more subtle than the commonly available tonic waters: Full-bodied, and better balanced, pleasantly dense to the palate and stronger carbonised, to stay fresh and sparkling. (Gents is also a great mixer for an Absinthe Tonic. In this case you should use less Absinthe in comparison to a Gin Tonic.)
Interesting info: The ship shown in the logo is the "Albatros" from Jules Vernes book "Robur the Conqueror".

Letitia Woods Brown (1915-1976)
"Something for me, my family, the race and mankind: Letitia Woods Brown, 1915-1976" by Ida E. Jones, Ph.D.
Letitia Woods was born in Tuskegee, Alabama on October 24, 1915 to Evadne Adams and Matthew Woods. She was the middle of three sisters. The Woods family had a long history in education. Her maternal great grandfather Lewis Adams "one of conceiver and founders of Tuskegee Institute." Her parents Evadne and Matthew were both instructors at Tuskegee. Her life revolved around the intellectual pursuits of student life at Tuskegee, yet she vowed from age 12 to 20 not to become a teacher or a wife. Letitia believed boys were fun for games and sports, but housekeeping was completely unrewarding. Naturally she attended Tuskegee and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1935. Letitia wrote that "the adults in the family seemed to be obsessed with getting the race educated." (Grandma's Corner, by Lucy Murray) Upon completion of her degree and looking for work, teaching was the only option. She accepted a position at the Macon County School. Her first class was 3rd and 4th graders.
Letitia wrote: "The rural black school in the segregated post-depression era was deprived by any standard. There were never enough books and the teacher had to provide her own chalk, paper, pencils, curtains and firewood...When the colored schools gave out in early spring, my parents and I agreed that at $300 a year I wasn't really supporting myself so I might as well go back to school."(Redcliffe Quarterly, March 1974)
Driven by a need to better her lot in life, Letitia matriculated to Ohio State University in the mid-1930s to pursue a Master's of Arts in history. During the course of her program her academic advisor openly questioned why an African American woman would be interested in obtaining a graduate degree "since everyone knew that Negroes didn't have the intellectual ability for academic pursuits." (Grandma's Corner, by Lucy Murray) The snide remarks did not impede Letitia while at OSU she joined the NAACP Youth Council's sit-ins at restaurants that refused service to Blacks. Letitia wrote "Irritated with our lack of success there and the intransigence of discriminatory policies at the University - dormitory exclusion - we planned how when we finished we would work a year, save all our money, and get outside of the United States to breathe free air." (Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974) This stereotype suffered a bruised ego when in 1937 Letitia graduated with her MA in history. To heal the scrapes of racism, in 1938 Letitia and a group from OSU went to study Caribbean history and literature in Haiti. This first documented trip outside of America awakened a deep intellectual curiosity within Letitia. She wrote "That trip was my first sally forth to see the world. I loved it."(Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974)
The travel abroad and the M.A. afforded Letitia access to the college classroom as an instructor. Leaving Ohio for Alabama then Tennessee, she began teaching at Tuskegee and Lemoyne College. "As World War II played havoc with my social life in the 40's I discovered a growing serious commitment to college teaching. Preparing for the classes in world history I taught at Tuskegee and Lemoyne. I had a chance to explore more deeply what societies and cultures other than the American were like. Some of the black colleges stressed world history rather than modern civilization in an attempt to broaden the base of understanding and stave off development of a totally Eurocentric view of the world." (Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974)
In 1945 unsatisfied with mediocrity, Letitia took additional classes at OSU in geography and eastern history. Ultimately, she left the south for Cambridge, Massachusetts to attend Harvard University where she sought a Ph.D. in History.
While pursuing her degree, Letitia met Theodore Brown a doctoral student in the field of economics. Letitia and Theodore Brown were married in 1947. They would have probably married earlier but Letitia was determined to complete her course work - which involved oral exams. In 1947 the couple moved to Harlem, Theodore's hometown. Letitia wrote "I researched around in Columbia University Library and the New York Public Library until I dropped everything for Dr. Spock. Noisy nonverbal babies had me thoroughly intimated for a while." (Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974) Within three years of marriage Theodore E. Brown, Jr. then Lucy Brown Franklin a short time later. Although Letitia resigned herself to being a mother and wife she still desired more for herself. She got involved with community projects, served on the local Health and Welfare Council and attended the local PTA meetings where they were organizing a campaign to force the City Council in Mt. Vernon New York to construct a neighborhood playground from an existing dump. Letitia wrote that both children were "dragged around to meetings with me between their naps, she hauled bother children off to see Peter and the Wolf.(Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974)
Tenuous struggle to answer the deep calling of intellectual pursuits had to be balanced with motherhood. There were times on Saturday nights that three or four couples would gather and discuss "the race problem."
"At one point the plan we projected for electing a black to the County Board of Supervisors sounded so convincing we decided we really ought to try it...we all pitched in to help, with the wives running the campaign because of their more flexible schedules. To our surprise the plan worked: Harold Wood won the election to become the first black to serve on the Westchester County Board of Supervisors." (Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974)
The Brown's left New York for Washington, DC in the late 1960s, however, the New York era had been instructive for Letitia. "The stay in Mount Vernon taught me, that practical keys to pursuit of a career were, limit the family size, so everybody's on his own at some point; and cut the travel time to a minimum."(Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974) The move to Washington, allowed Letitia to complete her dissertation research and exercise her passion for college teaching at Howard University.
Washington, DC in late 1960s was a whirlwind and Howard University the eye of the storm. The demand of Howard students that all course employ an Afrocentric perspective frustrated a number of faculty at the university. Letitia wrote "The constant challenge to justify what you were teaching was irritating and unsettling. But one day I found myself repeating "why am I teaching this? How does it really help the young to understand the world they live in?"(Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974) The advent of the civil rights movements renewed a sense of radicalism within Letitia. The frustrations she encountered in OSU and the lack she endured when teaching in Macon County impelled her to move beyond the rhetoric of history to the deeper truths. Her job would now be one to destroy the specious argument without destroying the student to work out a new balance between what students want to know and what we want to teach them.
The move to Washington awakened a dormant aspect of Letitia, the condition of Black people. While completing the research for her dissertation, she became enthralled with the role of free and enslaved Black people in the Nation's Capital. The social and cultural, academic and private lives of these people intrigued her. Lucy in writing about her mother's obsession with Black Washington resulted in: "my brother and I [spending] our summers in Tuskegee with my grandparents and aunts, freeing up out mother's time to work on her dissertation. During the school year, in addition to raising a family, she taught at Howard and George Washington, was active in professional organizations...I have vivid memories of her organizing and reorganizing hundreds of thousands of note cards on which she had written her research and rewriting numerous drafts of her dissertation." (Grandma's Corner)
In 1966, over 18 years after she entered the program, Letitia completed her Ph.D. in history from Harvard University. She was the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in History from Harvard. [The one article mentioned this fact - however, I was unable to substantiate it] She entered Harvard a single woman at the age 30 in 1945 when she started her degree and graduated as a grandmother of age 51 she completed her doctorate.
The completion of her degree gave her carte blanc to the world. In 1968 a Fulbright fellowship landed her in Monash and Australian National University. "The speaking circuit booked for me by the Australian-American Educational Foundation took me to all kinds of groups I would never have found by myself. And never before in my life had I been so conscious I was female." (Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974) When returning to America she travelled throughout southeast Asia, Singapore, Jaipur, Angkar Wat, Istanbul, and southern Europe Rome, France and Italy. These travels in her opinion would help her "live" world history through the museums, ruins, libraries and people. In 1972 she travelled to Africa: Gao, Segou, Timbuktu, Ibandan, Benin, Kumasi, Luxor, Khartoum, Cairo, Marrakesh, Fez, Axum. After these travel she concluded that western civilization was a worm's eye view of the world.
During her peripatetic travels, she left her family in America. "My family accepts my wanderings because they are lone travelers, too. After years of vacations together, we were relieved to find nobody's feelings were hurt if each went his own way at times, to pursue his own interests."(Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974)
The remainder of her life would be in Washington, DC. She published work about the free Black population in Washington, and co-curatored an exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery entitled "Washington from Banneker to Douglass 1791-1870" with Howard historian Dr. Elise Lewis. In 1972 her dissertation was published as a book Free Negroes in the District of Columbia, 1790-1846. Her passion for alternative "telling of history," landed her as the primary consult to the Schlesinger Library Black Women History Project at Radcliffe that include the oral histories of 72 Black women of note in a various fields.
On August 1976 at the age of 60 Letitia Woods Brown died after a bout with cancer. Lucy in writing about her mother said "my mother died too early at age 60, but her name and her work have been memorialized by her colleagues." (Grandma's Corner) The Historical Society of Washington, DC named their annual history lecture The Letitia Woods Brown Lecture; George Washington University established The Letitia Woods Brown Fellowship in African American History and Culture and the Association of Black Women Historians, under the presidency of Nell Irvin Painter in 1983 named their chief book prize The Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Book Award.
At the memorial service at the Bethlehem Chapel of the National Cathedral, in Washington DC, Roderick S. French, professor of philosophy from George Washington University wrote: "Strong, intelligent, good-humored Letitia Woods Brown was instructor to all of us. I cannot imagine the person – man or woman — fortunate enough to be associated with her, who would have been so complacent or so dogmatic as never to have been surprised into new understanding by Letitia. Her creative intelligence was continuous, immediate, unlimited by specialization and individual...There was no arrogance, simply a profound self-confidence, a commitment to trained reason, and a refusal to allow life – her life or the life of others – to be bound by mean or unexamined precedents...The local community, the university, the nation and even the international community turned to Letitia for leadership at critical moments. Most of her energies of her final year were devoted to a perfect use: a combination of personal diplomacy, scholarship and political sense...Letitia was a public scholar, something which has been an ideal among humanistic educators for centuries, but a role seldom achieved, and even less frequently so with integrity." (Letitia Woods Brown, 1915-1916, Records of the Columbia Historical Society of Washington, DC the 50th volume, edited Francis Rosenberger, 1980)
In the 1974 article entitled "Something for me, my family, the race and mankind," Letitia concluded; "Somehow I am both historian and futurist. One basic question haunts me: what do students need to know about themselves, and about the past, that will help them face their world understanding and commitment? I suppose I will continue to grapple with it – with a growing awareness that the way we organize and present data helps shape the way people think, that how we teach is as important as what we teach, that how we feel about what we learn....Obsessed? (Radcliffe Quarterly, March 1974) Letitia provides a successful paradigm of juggling passion, parenthood, and professionalism. By her own confession there were private moments when she preferred to be Dr. Brown without the responsibilities of children and family. However, those permanent fixtures - husband and children served as a buffer for her against the frantic winds of sexism, racism and ageism she endured during her career. I am aware of two doctoral students of Letitia whose opinions are colored by interactions that were painful. I am sure that anyone attending college - graduate school especially can attest to the fact that there were dark times during the process. Letitia lived during the overt height of these dark times, yet and still internally desired to be a conduit for others and a respected member of the intellectual world. In 1973 at a Radcliffe symposium on The Black Woman Myths and Realities, Letitia presented a paper entitled Battles Won and Evil Overcome. In this work she explores the hardship gender had on the formation of African American women's identity. "The role history has marked out for the Black woman is a demanding one. She has always had less protection and consideration than the ideals in the surrounding society demanded. For her there has been no romantic ideal or chivalric code; rather she has been subjected to the most critical and hostile assessments..She has usually been expected to support herself and others, yet statistics continue to show that she occupies the lowest rung on the income ladder. Out of their struggle for human dignity have come a tradition of independence and self-reliance and a commitment to living the full life that offer a model for all people." (The Black Woman Myths and Realities, edited by Doris J. Mitchell and Jewell H. Bell, 1973)
In summation, that is who I have come to realize Letitia Woods Brown to be - a fighter and model for all people. Her academic proficiency carried her from Tuskegee, Alabama across the world to Australia, parts of south east Asia and throughout the African continent. The desire to become something professional impelled her, over half of her life, to pursuit degrees in history. A self-proclaimed busy-bee - declared "Triumph – is a day I get them all in - something for me, some for my family, some for "the race," and some for the "good of mankind." There can be no greater aim in life than to live with a purpose bigger than oneself. This is the Letitia I have come to know, appreciate and respect.

Anyway, out of your long list of things, there are only a few that I care about. Eyefinity and video editing/rendering.
In fact, Eyefinity was the sole reason that I went with ATI this time around. If Nvidia had been a little quicker to the game, then I may not have.
And I used to think that Nvidia had the market cornered for video/GPGPU, but it seems as if ATI is making some headway in that area, as well.

While Stream's transcoding times were slightly better than CUDA in most of our performance tests, CUDA seemed to produce a higher quality image that evened things out a bit. Stream also seemed to be more efficient in using less of the CPU's resources for transcoding while also producing fast transcoding times.
I agree that Nvidia currently has the best feature set (I'll give them that on the more flexible 3D), but you exaggerate this to the point of being blatantly misleading. ATI can do just about everything that Nvidia can. They might not be quite as flexible or user-friendly at this point, but they can do it. The only thing of significance that you
do on ATI by comparison is run PhysX. And PhysX, being a propietary technology, is never going to catch on with the majority of developers. Especially with how well ATI is doing with the 4xxx and 5xxx lines.
I think that Anandtech effectively summarizes the problem with propietary technology like PhysX and CUDA in its review of CUDA vs. ATI Stream GPU Computing--

Both will fail or fall out of use as standards replace them. Developers know this and will simply not adopt the technology if it doesn't provide the return on investment they need
, and 9 times out of 10, in the consumer space, it just won't make sense to develop either a solution for only one IHV's GPUs or to develop the same application twice using two different languages and techniques.
In the consumer space, the real advantage that CUDA has over ATI Stream is PhysX. But this is barely even a real advantage at this point as
PhysX suffers from the same fundamental problem that CUDA does: it only targets one hardware vendor's products.
While there are a handful of PhysX titles out there, they aren't that compelling at this point either. We will have to start seeing some real innovation in physics with PhysX before it becomes a selling point.
That's the long and short of it. So waving pom-poms about CUDA or PhysX has very little influence with me, and it should have little influence on anyone's purchasing decision at this point. Both are extremely limited propietary solutions. They will NEVER gain significant developer attention and will eventually be replaced by standards that work on all hardware.

A diagnosis of coronary artery disease can be hard to accept and understand. If you don't have symptoms, it may be especially hard to recognize that heart disease is serious and can lead to other health problems.
It's important to talk with your doctor to learn about the disease and what you can do to help manage it and keep it from getting worse.
Lifestyle changes
- Quit smoking, and avoid secondhand smoke. Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do to reduce your risk of future problems. When you quit, you quickly lower your risk of a heart attack.
- Exercise. Start an exercise program (if your doctor says it's safe). Try walking, swimming, biking, or jogging for at least 30 minutes on most, if not all, days of the week. Any activity you enjoy will work, as long as it gets your heart rate up.
- Eat a heart-healthy diet. This can help you keep your disease from getting worse. A chart(What is a PDF document?) that compares heart-healthy diets can help you see what foods are suggested in each plan. Heart-healthy foods include fruits, vegetables, high-fiber foods, fish, and foods low in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol.
- Stay at a healthy weight. Being active and eating healthy foods can help you stay at a healthy weight or lose weight if you need to.
- Weight Management
Your doctor may suggest that you attend a cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) program. In cardiac rehab, you will get education and support that help you build new, healthy habits, such as eating right and getting more exercise.
Medicines are an important part of your treatment.
- Take your medicines exactly as directed. Do not stop taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
- Control angina (including chest pain or discomfort) by taking medicines as prescribed and nitroglycerin when needed. To learn more, see the topic Quick Tips: Taking Charge of Your Angina.
- Get a flu vaccine every year.
Get help for depression
Depression and heart disease are linked. People with heart disease are more likely to get depressed. And if a person has both depression and heart disease, he or she may not stay as healthy as possible. This can make depression and heart disease worse.
If you think you may have depression, talk to your doctor. Take this short quiz to check your symptoms: Interactive Tool: Are You Depressed? For more information, see the topic Depression.
