The Psychophysiology specialization within our psychology doctoral program combines online learning for lecture courses, in-person laboratory experiences, seminars, and training experiences for a total of 105 credits. Ninety credits are in psychophysiology-oriented courses and fifteen are core psychology courses. Three of the psychophysiology courses are electives chosen from at least six available. You will have some latitude selecting core psychology courses based on your interests.
If you have already taken graduate courses at an accredited school, you may be eligible to transfer up to 18 credits for previously completed courses deemed equivalent to those required by the Psychophysiology specialization. The most commonly accepted psychophysiology courses are ethics, anatomy and physiology, and psychopharmacology while the most commonly accepted psychology courses are developmental psychology, social/multicultural psychology, and systems of psychotherapy. Equivalency of any of these courses will be determined during an individual review of each student's transcripts.
Students register for courses at the start of each of Saybrook's semesters and must complete their courses by the end of the semester. The number of courses taken simultaneously is at the student's discretion up to a limit of four. It must be remembered that each course requires the time commitment of a three to five credit graduate course. Each credit requires between 30 and 40 hours of work to earn including attending recorded lectures, doing required reading, writing papers, interacting with the instructor via phone and / or e-mail, etc.
Many of the courses include "laboratory" training which generally consist of (a) eight hours of in-person training during the annual meetings of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) and possibly at Saybrook University's Residential Conference in San Francisco followed by (b) about seven hours of real-time mentoring via the web.
Each student completes a doctoral dissertation of publication quality, based on original study under the guidance of a committee consisting of a faculty chair from within the specialization and at least two doctoral level members who are subject matter experts. The program is designed so students work on their dissertations simultaneously with taking didactic courses. This is crucial as far too many students in other programs finish taking their course work and never get their degrees because they never actually get around to finishing their dissertations. Thus, one of the first courses students take is the research course. Students start taking the dissertation planning seminar via conference calls as soon as they enter the program.
Students must take at least one course per semester to remain in the program. Full time is considered to be 9 credits per semester. For this 105 credit program, a full time student is likely to take six years to complete, including the dissertation.
Everyone entering the program must fulfill the following prerequisites:
- (a) Certification in Basic Life Support (CPR)
- (b) The equivalent of an undergraduate course in general biology
- (c) The equivalent of an undergraduate course in general psychology
- (d) The equivalent of an undergraduate course in cognitive psychology
Students accepted into the program who lack any of these prerequisites must complete the CPR Certification and successfully complete those portions of PH 500 Psychophysiology Pro-seminar corresponding to the required prerequisite(s) during the first semester of their participation in the program. Each portion of the pro-seminar is charged at a rate of one credit but credits completed during the pro-seminar do not count toward the degree.
Minimal Requirements for Participation in the Psychophysiology Specialization:
Web-Based Seminars
Students must regularly attend and actively participate in all web based seminars. Most take place once per month. Students must schedule themselves to be able to attend regularly regardless of time zone or other commitments. Attendance is not optional. Missing more than one seminar per semester results in suspension from the program. Exceptions to missing more than one seminar may be made by the program's director based upon the student's reason for missing the seminar such as sickness. However, every missed seminar must be made-up. A missed seminar can be made-up by watching the recording of the missed seminar and discussing the material covered with the program's director in a real-time discussion.
In-Person (residential) sessions
Students must attend two in-person, approximately week long, sessions per year. Attendance is not optional. One of the sessions is at AAPB's (Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback – the field's professional organization) annual meeting held at various locations within the United States each year. The other session is held at Saybrook University's San Francisco campus.
Students must successfully complete a minimum of two lecture courses per year in addition to the required seminars, practicum, dissertation preparation, etc.
Students must allocate adequate time for and funding to conduct their dissertation research starting not later than the second year of participation in the program.

I was wondering what is the difference between the different places where basic training is held? I have heard and read people saying one place is better than another or worse than another. I would think that they should ALL be up to Army standards. I really want to go BCT then to OCS and on to BOLC for preferably CBRN And honestly I dont see a problem shipping to any of the locations as long as I am back in time to get to the accelerated OCS. I would think that success depends on the person not the location. Should I be more choosy?

Re: Diifernce between basic training locations.
While they are all to Army standards, the experience will be entirely dependent on things like your MOS, the behavior of you and your buddies, your drill sergeant staff and your chain of command. You do not choose where to go, but you can choose your MOS. There is only 1 place to go for infantry. But there are a few places you could go for other jobs. And sometimes your BCT/AIT locations will be the same, sometimes different (depending on MOS).
Re: Diifernce between basic training locations.
Ok that makes sense. So if you go the O9S route where would they send you?

Re: Diifernce between basic training locations.
Good Luck to you. I wish your luck in your goal.
Re: Diifernce between basic training locations.
4 years ago when I was going through most of the support jobs went through Fort Jackson (Relaxin Jackson as it is called). Infantry went to one location and those in combat support jobs may go to Fort Leonord Wood or Ft Sill or Ft Knox. From what I have heard Ft Jackson is the easiest, but that isn't saying much. No matter what your going to get yelled at a lot, do a lot running, get little sleep and learn a lot in a very short period of time. I have heard that FT Benning is the toughest. I went through Jackson, and it was tough, but I have heard stories about Benning and we didn't have it nearly as tough as some of them.
As was stated, your MOS decides some of it (like infantry) but as 09S what probably decides your location more, is when you want to go to BCT. When I went to MEPS they asked when I wanted to go, I knew about the date and they gave me the locations around the time that had a BCT class starting around then. I just chose one. The guy next to me though was going 11B and they just gave him the dates that he could go. He just picked one.
Go in with the dates you want and then see what it is open around that time. That can make a world of difference as compared to the guy who goes in and just says whatever date and location is fine.

Re: Diifernce between basic training locations.
I went to 12 OSUT at Fort Leonard Wood many years ago. Now at Fort Leonard Wood, you have the Chemical and MP schools and their OSUTs. I even saw some about infantry over there at FLW. I do not know if there have infantry recruits that goes there as well and then heads to Benning afterwards. I would just think you send any 11x to Fort Benning.
Unlike the Marine Corps, the Army and other services have integrated training where men and women train together. I have never attended that type of training and do not know if that will make a difference in the level of "in your face" discipline and equal level training. But, just do you best and get the most out of it. Remember the training is just basic and will prep you from what it is to come. If you did not learn discipline and military bearing in the hardest of environments and graduated; then sadly, it will not help you later on.
Take it seriously, period.
Re: Diifernce between basic training locations.
If you do CBRN you will come to my neck of the woods aka Ft. LeonardWood aka Ft. Lost in the Woods. All i know about CBRN's is they say they have lots of fun in AIT and you will visit a chamber where the difference between sealed MOP gear and leaky MOP gear is Death so no joking there.
Well it's hard to say anything but each experience is unique. I would say that Ft. Jackson is the easiest based upon some of the stories i've heard but no BCT is "easy" depending upon how you look at it. In the end you will miss BCT but would never want to do it again. I went through BCT and AIT at Ft. Leonardwood and it was alright. Half time spent on 50/50 fireguard, lots of smoke sessions in the pit, and a lot of Soldiers i wouldn't trust with a BB gun sadly. Gender intergration can vary but in my experience Females (no disrespect to fellow female soldiers) got us Males in trouble ALOT! Atleast once a week they came foward saying a male said such and such to them. Well we didn't expect much sleep on those nights. AIT was alright but lots of running in 10 F weather. One of the crappiest factors of TRADOC at MO is the weather; you might experience 100+ days in heat cat. 5 or only allowed silkies in close to 0 F. I was lucky enough to experience both lol. One benefit is i live in missouri and our Unit trains at FTL often so i know the whole damn base and alot of the cadre there! I actually did EIB training with two of my DS's.

As late as 2006-07, his last full season with the Los Angeles Clippers, Livingston was still trying to develop the sort of upper and lower body strength needed to not only become a starting-quality NBA guard (criticisms that have rightfully dogged him since his pre-draft workouts in 2004), but someone who could be counted on to play half an NBA game 65 times over the course of a season.
That was two years ago, and though the Clippers were and are a skinflint organization when it comes to bulking up in the strength and training department, it's going to take more than a change of practice court scenery for Livingston to turn things around.That doesn't mean that he can't turn it around, or that 82 percent of basketball junkies out there wouldn't give 82 percent of their kidneys to see this kid working at full strength, but it's going to be another season of underwater work and treadmill time. That's just how things are going to flow, so we'd like to ask that we wait a while before presuming that the "finished" label works with Mr. Livingston. Apologies for repeating myself, but partially because it would depress the hell out of your humble narrator, and mainly because it wouldn't be true, even next June.
KD adds that, if and when Shaun is ready to perform on the court, there will be ample opportunity for him. But...
So as a fourth guard, let's remind ourselves not to rail when he doesn't see but 14 minutes in a month, or can't see the court in a 30-point win or loss. This is still a rebuilding year, those legs (among other body parts) have to work themselves into passable NBA shape, and the guy just turned 23.
It can be said with good assurance that most of the league -- and a unanimous number in these parts -- hope Shaun's day is sooner than later.

|Brand New (to me at least) - 1996 BMW 328is
Here are a few pictures of the car just after I purchased it.
Note: The ///M badge and the stickers. The first owner took delivery of the car in Germany (a la European Deliver) and then had the car shipped over here later. I was told that the stickers were there for a more European look. I removed them and the badge as this is not the look that I am going for.

Little Giant Pump Company's origins date back to 1941, when an idea by a plumber named Doc Wolfe became the world's first submersible electric motor-driven pump - the answer to the problem of water transfer in "swamp" evaporative coolers, a forerunner of modern refrigerated air conditioning. Called "a submersible vaporizer," this unique, patented pump design became the cornerstone for the hundreds of different pump models Little Giant Pump Company manufactures and ships worldwide today.
In fact, derivatives of that basic "self-contained electric motor-driven submersible pump" have become the standard for quality and reliability in water transfer applications throughout the world.
Little Giant Pump Company's comprehensive line includes wastewater pumps, sump, effluent and sewage pumps, dewatering/trash pumps, condensate pumps, magnetic drive pumps, low pressure sewer systems, water garden pumps and products, and a wide variety of utility pumps.
Little Giant Pump Company's 180,000 square foot Distribution Center is the heart of the distribution process, designed specifically to handle orders in the most effective and efficient manner possible. Few companies in the world can match it for speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness.
A comprehensive product line... constant innovation... the highest quality standards... cost-effective pricing... and an organization that is totally dedicated to customer service... these are the tools that have made Little Giant one of the most successful companies in the industry, and will insure the company's success in the future.

Sammy Davis Jr. (Getty Images / Harry Langdon)
Sammy Davis Jr., aka "Mr. Show Business," was no ordinary entertainer. In fact, the life he lived was rather extraordinary: he was a triple threat who could sing, dance and act – and did all three, from the age of 3… he was a Rat (in the best possible sense) who palled around with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin… he was a black man married to a white woman at the height of segregation – and the struggle against it… he was a Christian who converted to Judaism after a life-changing experience.
Being a Jew was important to Davis. He proudly wore a Star of David and talked candidly about his faith and conversion. As the story goes, the Christian-born Davis experienced a change of heart after the 1954 car accident that took his left eye, and nearly took his life. While Davis was recovering from his injuries in the hospital, his friend Eddie Cantor talked to him about the similarities between the Jewish and African-American cultures. Davis went on to do his own research, and he was sold, converting to Judaism formally in 1961.
Though he embraced Judaism, Davis became well known for his swingin' renditions of classic Christmas songs. Perhaps it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but we don't care. On the day when Davis would have turned 87, we're celebrating his life – and getting into the spirit of the season – by listening to a few of his greatest holiday hits.

Naming new school: 'At least it's a fun decision to make'
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - The name for a new Springfield elementary school is still still up in the air, but the school naming committee has narrowed it down to three names.
After months of research and discussion, the committee has narrowed their search down to these three names: Two Rivers Elementary, Washburne Elementary or Spring Mountain Elementary.
The committee has met four different times since October to evaluate community and student submissions for the new school that will be housed in the former Springfield Middle School facility in fall 2012.
Moffitt Elementary and Brattain Elementary are closing due to budget cuts, and these students will be attending the new school.
There were 238 responses to an on-line survey which consisted of 92 unique names.
Springfield Elementary was the most popular name the committee received.
The committee also considered naming the school after a local hero, such as slain police officer Chris Kilcullen and author Ken Kesey, who graduated from Springfield High School.
The naming committee narrowed the search to these three names for certain reasons.
Committee members liked the "two rivers" name, as they compared it "two rivers of a school coming together in a stream."
"What we love about the Washburne name is that it really connects to the Washburne neighborhood where the school will be situated," said Jeff DeFranco, Director of Communications for Springfield Public Schools.
DeFranco said there was a special connection to the "spring mountain" name as well.
"Spring Mountain has the 'm-o' from Moffitt and the 't-a-i-n' from Brattain, so it's kind of the connection with those two names and that was actually a student based idea," DeFranco said.
Now that all of the ideas are in, it is up to the school board to make the final decision.
"That's why they have to make the difficult decisions here, but at least it's a fun decision to make," DeFranco said.
The board plans to make the decision at their Feb. 13 meeting.

Lipscomb seemed to be hitting the Atlantic Sun tournament at the right time after winning its last eight games of the regular season.
The Bison then whipped Campbell, which came into the tourney with a four-game streak of its own, by 30 points in the opener. Lipscomb looked primed for a run to the NCAA Tournament.

ALEXANDRIA BAY River Hospital and its foundation have seen a dramatic increase in memorial and celebratory financial contributions, leaving the organizations with a strong message: The community cares about its hospital.
Andrea C. Bates, the foundations director of development, said while people contributed to the hospital and foundation for those purposes in previous years, it has been passion from prominent village residents that has carried the organizations to another level.
Fran Brown was a former foundation board member, hospital board member and former hospital employee, Mrs. Bates said. She died in November and thats when we started to see a staggering amount of gifts in her memory. She was vital to the rebirth of River Hospital.
From Nov. 1 to Feb. 1, a total of $4,255 was collected through memorial and celebratory gifts, which was a huge jump from only $150 a year earlier.
Mrs. Bates said while people have always thought of the hospital as a place to give, its been nice to have them recognize the foundation as a place to memorialize those individuals.
Money often flows to the foundation in the form of memorial gifts, even if an obituary doesnt indicate where gifts may be made.
Mrs. Bates said all of that money and work come from people in the community who have been affected by the hospital and have made it known to friends and family how much it means that its still there.
Aside from a monetary gift, people can purchase memorial pavers or granite benches, which are part of a walkway surrounding the flagpole at the front of the hospital, 4 Fuller St.
Such contributions are critical, she said, as outright donations will help sustain the foundation, which supports the hospital by raising money for equipment and services.
The village has lost so many prominent people, and its been tough to deal with, Mrs. Bates said.
For more information on River Hospital, its foundation or how to contribute to either, Mrs. Bates can be reached by calling the foundation at 482-4976.

The Lady Bisons swept both Austin Peay State, from the Ohio Valley Conference, and USC Upstate, extending their overall win streak to 21 and 18 within Atlantic Sun play. Kelly leads the conference overall in kills and in both hitting percentage and kills in conference play. She also ranks first in A-Sun contests in hitting percentage. Last week, Kelly earned her second Top Performer selection from the Collegiate Volleyball Update for her performance.

Correction: France-Cannes Notebook story
CANNES, France (AP) — In a May 24 Cannes Notebook item about jewelry at the Cannes Film Festival, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the Swavorski earrings Milla Jovovich wore cost $321,000. They cost $321.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Seen and heard at the Cannes Film Festival
At the Cannes Film Festival: Swavorski not worried about thefts, Baldwin criticizes press
By The Associated Press
CANNES, France (AP) — Associated Press journalists open their notebooks at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival:
There have been two high-profile jewelry thefts during the Cannes Film Festival, but the team from Swavorski, which is providing baubles for stars to wear on the red carpet, isn't too worried about its inventory here.
"Our position is not as high as Chopard," said Xavier Hottinger, a rep for Swarvoski on Thursday. "They (just) look like precious stones."
Swavorski has been lending and in some cases gifting celebrities with some of its famous crystal designs at the festival for more than a decade. Stars, or their stylists, have come into the famed crystal jeweler's luxurious white hotel suite during the festival to borrow items, including rings, earrings, necklaces and clutches.
This week, some of the stars who wore Swavorski included Frieda Pinto and Milla Jovovich. The dark grey earrings Jovovich wore on one red carpet cost about $321, said Hottinger.
That's nothing compared to the diamond jewelry that Chopard stocks.
"To steal $1 million worth of Swavorski products, you would have to steal a trunk," he said.
Thieves stole about $1 million worth of jewels from Chopard after ripping a safe from a wall of a hotel room in Cannes last week, shortly after the festival began. The jewelry was stolen from a Novetel hotel room of an employee of the Swiss-based watch and jewelry maker.
A second theft was reported this week nearby Cannes at a posh resort in Cap D'Antibes.
Hottinger said Swavorski felt safe at the heavily guarded Martinez hotel, which is on the Croisette, the main strip in Cannes for the festival and where several stars are staying. It's also where Chopard has its official suite, which was not burglarized.
Unlike other more expensive jewelry brands that lend for red-carpet events, Swavorski doesn't use bodyguards to monitor the stars who borrow their items, which likely makes them feel more comfortable, Hottinger said.
"They have freedom, so they can go to a party without worrying," he said.
— Nekesa Mumbi Moody, http://www.twitter.com
Alec Baldwin did the publicity tour at the Cannes Film Festival for documentary "Seduced & Abandoned," but he recommends other stars be publicity-shy if they want to maintain their careers.
"Those people now who survive, like you look at Leo (DiCaprio), or you look at Russell Crowe or anybody who really is at the top of the pile, they avoid the press as much as possible," he said during an interview earlier this week.
"Half the press you deal with are malicious and out to destroy you, and they want to trip you, and when you fall down the stairs they want to cheer — they cheer when you fall down the stairs, and that's a very, very, very haunting reality for someone in my position to deal with and for anybody," said Baldwin, who has had several tangles with the press. "The way that you survive is you stay away from the press. You don't see Leonardo DiCaprio go on (David) Letterman. He does as much of that as he needs to and then he'll avoid that like it's a disease. It's terrible."
Baldwin also had harsh words for movie studios, assigning them blame for Lindsay Lohan's downward spiral.
"One minute Lindsay Lohan was one of the most promising young actors of her generation. . She was an enormously talented actor: Now she's a punch line, and it's sad, because I know her ... she was a wonderfully talented girl," he said. "Well, the company that did both those things, the company that developed her talent, is the same company that assassinated her in public. So that's the problem. . Not only do you not have a studio which mentors you, that cares for you, no one cares for you anymore, no one takes care of you anymore. "

Why contact customer service?
By Roadrunner
from Cortez, FL
Wanted to wear in chilly FL weather. Called to discuss sizing. Assured that if I wear an XL in jerseys and jackets, I would wear an XL in the sleeve. Tops of arm warmers fall down. A L would work but I was given a rather easy, perfunctory "get the recommended size" answer. I should have known better. The cost to return is not worth it. I will try to find someone in our group to use them. Why have customer service reps who don't really seem to try to help the customer in this instance?

Use when cool in early morning. I bought a large and am 6'3" and 180 lbs. Guess that my biceps are not big enough to keep up
They don't fit right
By bowdad
from Janesville, WI
They were warm enough but the biceps were FAR too loose. I had to return them. I am no body builder but I'm not a wimp either. They just sat there flapping loosely and would not stay up even with jersey sleeves trying to hold them up. Sorry, had to try something else.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Nashbar Thermal Arm Warmers

These arm warmers run small, which works out very well for people with small arms. They're perfect for cooler rides, but not cold rides. (I ordered the small size.)
Fit well and warm

Bought these as backups to my older set of Nashbar arm warmers. These seem a little warmer and stay up much better than the older ones do. Definitely recommended!

About Me Commuter
I ride in any weather condition and to have these warmers is a must have, the weather in the bay area is not that bad, but I still need to stay warm, I use these for the fall and winter months.
Don't knock it, its a good buy
By D
from Ca
Arm warmer size does not contour to my personal arm length when I ordered a large... They seem to keep the chill out on the areas it covers, but next time I'll guess I'll have to order the next size up to make it fit proper...

Excellent Product!
By ridrgurl7
from Eagle Mountain, Utah
We got these for a century ride and loved how they kept us warm during the chilly, windy 100 miles. They didn't fall down and even allowed for a thin, tight, long sleeve base layer. We are both lean. My hubby is 165 lbs 5'9" and wears a medium. I am 5'3 112 lbs and wear a small. We also got the same size in the leg warmers and liked those as well. One note Ladies, the leg warmers won't work as well with a shorter riding short.
Great value!

From its launch in 1974 in Los Angeles, California, Dittos jeans were one of the first brands to design clothing specifically for womens bodies. With its signature U-turn saddle stitch down the backside, the tight fit, flared leg, and a variety of colors to choose from, Dittos jeans inspired a cult following that lasted for two decades. In the 90s, when flared jeans disappeared from the fashion industry, the jeans that everyone knew and loved became rare pieces only found in vintage shops. In 2007, Daniella Clarke, founder and creative director of Frankie B. jeans, re-launched the original brand with 80 different styles bringing the sexy seventies style back. The brand embraces its roots, maintaining the vintage feel and the designs that give women that long and lean look. Just like the original Dittos, the brand continues to produce the colorful pairs of denim that were once its trademark, fitting in perfectly with the current trends we see today and making us realize how circular fashion really is!
As one of the very first must-have label jeans, it is great to see Dittos back on the fashion radar. And even greater is the fact that they are continuing to create high-end jeans with great fit and great quality. Remaining true to their original intentions, these jeans are made for womens bodies and designed to make you look and feel great.
If you are one of the many who searched for years in vintage shops for an amazing pair of Dittos, look no further, now you can find these jeans everywhere. And if youve never tried on a pair, be sure to look for a Dittos jeans sale today to find a timeless jean that will always make you feel amazing! To look for your perfect pair, check out our entire collection of denim today!

Blogs are funny beasts. Back when I was setting up this website, I found a GoDaddy feature that shows what spiders crawl the blog. They are essentially in the background, crawling and reporting back to google, bing, yahoo, dogpile, etc. I just flipped over to the stat analytic page that reads the bots, and it tells me that google was onboard for 1 hour and 14 minutes looking for content on beavers. For once in my blogging career, I am speechless. Beavers?
I next clicked on the key word menu that shows the search terms that folks use to find (or show up) at this blog. And despite having never posted on this topic, 713 hits were generated last week over honey boo boo holiday photo. Wow, who knew? I'll bet there were a lot of disappointed Honey Boo Boo fans. Well, now you guys have something to look at, this post!
One last note, if you all ever want to turn any post into an open thread, you have my thumb's-up. I've said it before, I'll be at work and come home to thirty comments and it is a neat surprise. Don't ever feel like you are highjacking the blog. We are a community of sorts. Me, the beaver and honey boo boo blogger and y'all, the . . .

When attempting to construct new outfits from your already established personal wardrobe, it's always helpful to garner ideas from celebrities with inspirational, relatable style. The greatest purpose for our What Was She Wearing story is to help you do just that! Today we will cover inquiries ranging from the chic light wash jeans Kate Bosworth wore to a screening in London to the bright pink booties Lindsay Lohan chose for the Saks Fifth Avenue Key to the Cure Party in New York City. Hopefully, you'll see something that sparks a few fashion ideas of your own!
Mandy Moore
We generally receive queries regarding celebrity street style, but every now and then a question comes through concerning a fabulous red carpet outfit, like the ensemble Mandy Moore wore to the Vanity Fair Photograph Exhibit in Los Angeles last week. Moore stunned in a black one-shouldered Band Dress ($2342, 646.654.0156) from Preen's Spring 09 Collection, Sang A's Flash Platinum Python Clutch ($1500), and Christian Louboutin's Delic Pumps ($660). You can emulate her effortless formal look with Alice + Olivia's One Strap Bandaid Frock
($484) or Bebe's Mesh Inset Dress ($119), Guess by Marciano's Drifter Pumps
($98), and an Abas Emma Python Valet Clutch
($226). On a sidenote, the latter also happens to be one of Rachel Zoe's picks on Piperlime!
Kate Bosworth
We are so addicted to style stalking on our readers' behalf, that we even track starlets and models when they are overseas. For instance, we can tell you exactly what Kate Bosworth wore to the screening of "The Girl in the Park" when she visited London earlier this month. Bosworth showcased her keen ability to mix designers by sporting Dior's Homme Two Button Embroidered Jacket ($2000, 310.247.8003), a limited edition D&G Painted Top from S/S 08, Sass and Bide for Topshop Strays Jeans ($150), and Chloe's Studded Ankle Boots ($1245) with buckles. Create a similar ensemble for yourself with Express' Tuxedo Jacket ($148), Torn's Burn Out Color Splatters T-Shirt
($36), and Miz Mooz's Andrea Buckle Bootie
Erin Wasson
Erin Wasson is always one of our favorite ladies to turn to for fashion motivation, so it thrills us to report any and all questions about her attire! Recently, Wasson made an appearance at the re-opening of the Burberry store in Beverly Hills dressed in a very polished punk outfit. Wasson wore (unsurprisingly): a vintage Burberry blazer, boots, and clutch, as well as Topshop's Black Ripped Jeans ($90), and Kain's Pocket Tank ($80). Our favorite budget-friendly substitutes for Wasson's vintage pieces are Rag & Bone's Nancy Blazer
($473) or Martin + Osa's One-Button Flannel Jacket ($190), Nine West's Nistka Lace Up Boots
($150) or Michael Kors' Patent Mogul Buckle Granny Booties
($395), and Xhilaration's Bangle Foldover Clutch ($15).
Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is looking better than ever these days, so we've been just as curious as our readers to uncover the details for her cute outfits. Specificaly, we've gathered a lot of emails about the ensemble she wore to the Saks Fifth Avenue Key to the Cure Party in New York City a few weeks ago. Lohan layered a Matthew Williamson Multi Frill Top ($525) over Olivia Leggings ($100) from her fledging line, 6126, and finished the look off with striking Christian Louboutin C'est Moi Boots ($825). Tackle your own budget-friendly take on her look with Topshop's Lace Insert Pintuck Blouse ($70), American Apparel's Rib Nylon Spandex ($36), and Cesare Paciotti's Pink Booties
($674). Steve Madden's
Loletta Purple Suede Booties
($150) are a great eye-catching alternative, too!

The Last Ride
Hank Williams pioneered and pretty much invented what we know today as country music. At the peak of his career, he was acknowledged to be the greatest singer-songwriter in American history. But after a meteoric rise to record and radio super-stardom in the late 1940's, the man had made a train wreck of his life. Drugs, alcohol, and a hair-trigger temper had ended two marriages, ruined a host of friendships and made the tortured genius a virtual untouchable in the music business. So at the end of 1952, Hank Williams gathered what was left of his physical strength to make things right, and begin the long road back. He booked New Years shows in West Virginia and Ohio, and hired a local kid who didn't even own a radio, much less know who this legend was, to drive him there from Montgomery Alabama. Inspired by the mysterious final days Hank Williams' mercurial life, THE LAST RIDE is the story of that final drive through the bleak Appalachian countryside of 1950's America. A lonely two-man odyssey; a boy coming of age, and a man leaving this world way before his time, a victim of his own abuses.

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
A kidney* stone is a solid piece of material that forms in a kidney when there are high levels of certain substances in the urine. These substances are normally found in the urine and do not cause problems at lower levels.
A stone may stay in the kidney or travel down the urinary tract. Kidney stones vary in size. A small stone may pass on its own, causing little or no pain. A larger stone may get stuck along the urinary tract. A stone that gets stuck can block the flow of urine, causing severe pain or bleeding.
*See the Pronunciation Guide for tips on how to say the underlined words.
The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water. The urinary tract includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra water. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through tubes called ureters.
The bladder stores urine until releasing it through urination. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra at the bottom of the bladder.
Kidney stones are caused by high levels of calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus in the urine. Some foods may cause kidney stones in certain people. You may be more likely to get a kidney stone if you have
You may also be more likely to get a kidney stone if you don't drink enough fluids or if you take certain medicines.
Doctors have found four main types of kidney stones:
Kidney stones vary in size and shape. Stones may be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pearl. Some stones are even as big as golf balls. Stones may be smooth or jagged and are usually yellow or brown.
You may have a kidney stone if you
The pain may last for a short or long time. You may have nausea and vomiting with the pain.
If you have a small stone that passes on its own easily, you may not have symptoms at all.
You should call a doctor if you have any of the following:
These problems may mean you have a kidney stone or a more serious condition.
To diagnose kidney stones, your doctor will do a physical exam and ask about your medical history. The doctor may ask if you have a family history of kidney stones and about your diet, digestive problems, and other health problems. The doctor may perform urine, blood, and imaging tests to complete the diagnosis.
The treatment for kidney stones usually depends on their size and what they are made of. Kidney stones may be treated by your regular doctor or by a urologist—a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract. You may need treatment if you have symptoms or if a kidney stone is blocking your urinary tract. Small stones don't usually need treatment. Still, you may need pain medicine. You should also drink lots of fluids to help move the stone along. If you are vomiting often or don't drink enough fluids, you may need to go to the hospital and get fluids through a needle in your arm.
If you have a large kidney stone or your urinary tract is blocked, the urologist can remove the stone or break it into small pieces with the following treatments:
To prevent kidney stones, you need to know what caused your kidney stone. Your doctor may ask you to try to catch the kidney stone as it passes in your urine. The kidney stone can then be sent to a lab to find out what type of stone it is. If you have treatment in the hospital and the doctor removes the stone, it will also be sent to a lab for testing.
Your doctor may ask you to collect your urine for 24 hours after the stone has passed or been removed. Your doctor can then measure how much urine you produce in a day and mineral levels in the urine. You are more likely to form stones if you don't make enough urine each day or have a problem with mineral levels.
Once you know what type of kidney stone you had, you can make changes in your eating, diet, and nutrition and take medicines to prevent future kidney stones.
You can help prevent kidney stones by making changes in how much you consume of the following:
Drinking enough fluids each day is the best way to help prevent most types of kidney stones. You should drink 2 to 3 liters of fluid a day. If you had cystine stones, you may need to drink even more. Though water is best, other fluids may also help prevent kidney stones, such as citrus drinks.
You can make the following changes to your diet based on the type of kidney stone you had:
More information about how changes in diet affect kidney stone formation can be found in the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse fact sheet Diet for Kidney Stone Prevention.
Your doctor may prescribe medicines based on the type of kidney stone you had and any health problems you have that make you more likely to form a stone.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) funds research on the causes, treatments, and prevention of kidney stones. The International Registry for Hereditary Kidney Stone Diseases, funded under National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trial number NCT00588562, collects medical information from a large number of patients with kidney stones to create a registry that will help researchers compare similarities and differences in patients and their symptoms.
The Study of the Biological and Physical Manifestations of Spontaneous Uric Acid Kidney Stone Disease, funded under NIH clinical trial number NCT00904046, aims to determine how much fat accumulates within cells and how it affects the kidneys by correlating kidney fat content with urine test results. A second aim is to evaluate the effect of the medicine thiazolidinedione on excess fatty acid accumulation in kidney tissue and its correlation with uric acid stone formation.
Tamsulosin for Urolithiasis in the Emergency Department, funded under NIH clinical trial number NCT00382265, studies the effectiveness and safety of tamsulosin in treatment of kidney stones. Other areas of focus include reduction in time to pain-free recovery, decrease in narcotic medicine for pain, less need for follow-up, decrease in the need for surgery, and cost savings.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses. To learn more about clinical trials, why they matter, and how to participate, visit the NIH Clinical Research Trials and You website at www.nih.gov/health/clinicaltrials.

Did you know Betty White is a long-time supporter of The Wilderness Society? It's true!
Below is Betty White's special message to you:
Dear Wilderness Lover,
What a year for wilderness! In 2011, the oil, gas, coal and timber industries unleashed a furious effort to grab up more of the nation's wildlands and waters.
With fresh attacks on clean air, clean water, and open spaces, Congress seems intent on making a bad situation for America's environment even worse!
The number of Americans now living in or around cities has reached an all-time high.
