This information includes resources for patients with head and neck cancer to help manage the side effects of treatment, improve quality of life, and receive emotional support. It includes suggestions from survivors, as well as from doctors and nurses who treat patients with head and neck cancer.
A diagnosis of head and neck cancer can be very stressful. You are likely to face many tasks that are new to you as you move through your treatment. You will need to learn new self-care skills. And, you may be dealing with a new image of yourself. These can all be challenging issues. Knowing what resources are available can help you deal with these changes.
Always check with your doctor and nurse before trying anything in this booklet. You may also want to check with your insurance provider to see which services are covered.
Managing Symptoms
Dry mouth
When radiation treatment is used near your mouth or throat, your salivary glands (glands that produce saliva) are affected. This often results in dry mouth. How long this lasts depends on the extent of your treatment. However, there are ways to decrease the discomfort. Try to avoid:
- Caffeine
- Tobacco
- Acidic foods and drinks (fruits, lemon juice, vinegar, tomatoes)
- Narcotic pain medications (codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone)
- Hot and spicy foods
Below are suggestions that may help when you have dry mouth.
- Keep a glass of water at your bedside at night.
- Use a bedside humidifier.
- Drink plenty of liquids.
- Keep your mouth and lips moistened with Surgilube®, olive oil, or cocoa butter.
- Moisten your food with lots of gravy, sauces, or juices.
- Avoid chocolate, potatoes, and starchy foods. They can be hard to swallow.
- Chew sugar-free gum or suck on hard candies. They can help you make saliva.
Tell your doctor if you have dry mouth. He or she can recommend an oral saliva substitute for you to try. You can buy most of these without a prescription at your local drug store. Oral saliva substitutes are not a cure for loss of salivary gland function, but they can give you temporary relief of dry mouth. Here is a list of some oral saliva substitutes:
- Entertainer's Secret®
- Moi-Stir® Oral Spray
- Mouthkote® Oral Moisturizer
- Colgate Optimoist®
- Salivart® Oral Moisturizer
- Xero-Lube®
- Biotene® Oral Balance®
Sore mouth
If your mouth is sore or swallowing is difficult, soft foods may help, such as:
- Milkshakes
- Custards
- Scrambled eggs
- Mashed vegetables
Avoid foods that may irritate your mouth, such as:
- Spicy foods
- Salty foods
- Citrus fruit or drinks (orange, lemon, or lime)
- Tomato sauces
Difficulty swallowing or inability to swallow
Radiation therapy, surgery, or a combination of both treatments can cause swelling or loss of important nerve function. This can make it difficult for you to swallow. Some survivors can swallow liquids such as Ensure® or soups. Others can swallow purées or soft, wet foods.
For those who can't swallow at all, a tube called a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can be inserted through the abdominal (belly) wall into the stomach. Liquids are poured into the body through the tube. Your doctor can tell you more about this process.
If you are having trouble swallowing, discuss it with your doctor or nurse. It may also be helpful to meet with a speech/swallowing therapist.
Here are some suggestions to help with swallowing:
- Mix your food with sauces.
- Consider blending your favorite foods.
- Eat several small meals or snacks during the day instead of having 3 large meals.
Loss of speech or difficulty speaking
You may have lost your speech or have trouble speaking if your treatment has affected your larynx (voice box), tongue, or other parts of your mouth and throat. The extent of the loss depends on the degree of your treatment. Your healthcare team will work with you and discuss your options both during and after treatment. It may be helpful to meet with a speech/swallowing therapist.
Dental problems
If your treatment has affected your salivary glands, you may have problems with your teeth. When saliva is not being produced, bacteria will stay in your mouth and on your teeth longer. This increases your risk of tooth decay.
After treatment, it will be important for you to take good care of your teeth and gums. This is also referred to as "dental hygiene." Oral saliva substitutes can also help. See a dentist regularly if you are not making saliva or have had radiation therapy.
Changes in appearance
If your appearance will change, ask for a referral to speak with a counselor. Talking with a professional about the issue may help you deal with any distress.
Disfigurement is often an issue for some patients. Speak to your doctor about getting plastic surgery and about prosthetics to improve your appearance.
Pain is sometimes a part of healing and recovery. It can come and go and may last for an indefinite time. If you have pain, talk to your doctor. MSKCC has pain specialists that can help manage your pain through the use of medication and behavioral approaches.

Nutritional counseling
Living with head and neck cancer can make it harder for you to get the nutrition you need. The challenges you face will depend on the type of cancer you had. They also depend on the kind of treatment you received.
We recommend that you meet with a dietitian. He or she can work with you to make sure that you are getting the nutrition you need. To schedule an appointment with an outpatient dietitian, call 212-639-7071.
Smoking and alcohol use
Head and neck cancers are rare in the general population. However, the risk is much higher for people who use tobacco and drink alcohol often. You are at higher risk for a second cancer if you continue to smoke and drink after your treatment.
For help with quitting smoking or other tobacco use, contact the Tobacco Treatment Program at the Counseling Center. This program is tailored to each patient's needs. To find out more about the program, call 212-610-0507 or go to: www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/counseling-support/cancer-patients
If you are concerned about your alcohol use, we can help you. Contact the Counseling Center at 646-888-0100.Back to top
Getting Emotional Support
Feelings of anxiety or depression are common among patients with head and neck cancer. These feelings can start at the time of diagnosis. During your treatment, MSKCC has many professionals who can help you cope. They include social workers, psychiatrists, chaplains, and patient-to-patient volunteers.
You may not notice feelings of anxiety until your treatment is finished, when you expect to resume your life. Many patients are also afraid that their cancer will return. These feelings can be overwhelming and difficult to explain to those not affected by cancer.
Emotional support is key to your recovery process. Talk to your doctor or nurse if you think you are having feelings of anxiety or depression. They can help you find the emotional support you need to get through this time.
Below, you will find some helpful resources for emotional support.
At MSKCC, care doesn't end after active treatment. The RLAC Program is for patients and their families who have finished treatment. This program has many services, including seminars, workshops, support groups, counseling on life after treatment, and help with insurance and employment issues.
The RLAC Program offers a support group specifically for survivors of head and neck cancer called Head, Neck, and Oral Cancers: Moving Forward. In this group, you will have a chance to discuss your needs and concerns with other survivors and healthcare team members. To register, please call 646-888-8106.Back to top

Tommy Godwin, 1948 Olympic medallist and London 2012 ambassador, dies at age of 91
Man who won bronze in kilo and team pursuit would go on to coach GB team and become British Cycling Federation President
Previous News
Next News
Tommy Godwin, double Olympic medallist in London in 1948 and ambassador and torchbearer for the 2012 Games this summer, has died at the age of 91. Godwin won bronze medals in the kilo and team pursuit at the Herne Hill Velodrome in the 1948 Games.
The build-up to London 2012 saw Godwin, possessed of an energy that belied his years, make regular media appearances in which he talked about those exploits. The former Solihull Cycling Club President also carried the Olympic torch through the West Midlands town this July.
After retiring from competition, Godwin would go on to manage the British track cycling team at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, and would also become president of the British Cycling Federation.
British Cycling's current President, Brian Cookson, said: "Tommy Godwin represented all that is great about our sport. A true gentleman who achieved great things as a competitor, a coach and an administrator. Our sport is privileged to have been associated with him."
Godwin, who was born in the United States to British parents – his family moved back here when he was a boy – had been due to celebrate his 92nd birthday tomorrow, but passed away on Saturday at the Marie Curie Hospice in Solihull.
At least he was able to witness a British cyclist win the Tour de France and a hugely successful Olympic/Paralympic medal haul for GB athletes on home soil before he died. Chapeau Tommy.

"The results of our study are important because they demonstrate that bariatric surgery does not lower overall health care costs in the long term and we found no evidence that any one type of surgery is more likely to reduce long-term health care costs," concluded Weiner.

Interpreting results, please help
Aug 6, 2004
I just got my hep b results. The hb surface antigen is negative, the hb surface antibody value is 0.0 miu/ml. What this value mean? Is it positive or negative? Does it mean that I have hep b? If someone does not get an injection but develops immunity, because they got rid of the virus themselves, does that meant that they will never get the virus again, and not be able to transmit it to others? I am really scared , please advise
yours sincerely,
Response from Dr. McGovern
Please be reassured that all your test results mean is that you do not have chronic hepatitis B infection (your hepatitis B surface antigen is negative) but you are not protected against hepatitis B (your hepatitis B surface antibody level is not detected). You can discuss immunization with your physician.

January transfer window: Nottingham Forest rumours- Forest play waiting game over Boyd and Burke deals
Posted: January 24, 2013|
Nottingham Forest are prepared to play the waiting game on deals for George Boyd and Chris Burke.
The Red's have tabled bids for both players but have yet to hear a positive response from their respective clubs.
Birmingham City turned down Forest's £300,000 bid for Chris Burke last week, but the Red's believe their offer will grow in stature with temptation proving too much as the transfer clock-watch ticks down.
The Blues are holding out for a lucrative deal but if a lofty offer doesn't arrive Forest will swoop to sign the Scottish winger for a relatively small fee.
Related content
Forest have also offered Peterborough United a sensible sum for the sale of attacking midfielder, George Boyd.
The Posh's chairman, Darragh MacAnthony, labelled the offer as 'derisory', but as February edges ever closer, the club, may be forced to allow Boyd to leave or they could run the risks of losing him on a Bosman at the end of the season.
Forest's prudent, transfer market behaviour should steer them away from the lure of spending inflated transfer fees as they look to seal both Burke and Boyd on modest deals.
The January transfer window has only seven days remaining before the deadline at midnight on the January, 31.

The Supreme Command says it is up to its injured colonel to decide whether he will take legal action against anti-government guards who shot him on Thursday night.
Lt Gen Seehanat Wongsarote, chief of the Directorate of Joint Intelligence, made the comment after visiting Col Witthavas Wattanakul in hospital on Friday.
Col Witthavas suffered serious wounds to his legs and body after being attacked by People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) guards on Thursday night.
He told Thung Song Hong police that the attack took place as he stepped out of his car to move traffic cones that were blocking the traffic on on Chaeng Watthana Road as he was returning to his flat at Muang Thong Thani from a restaurant in the Sukhumvit area.
He was later taken Mongkutwattana General Hospital after the guards realised that he was a soldier.
The area is controlled by the PDRC faction led by the hardline monk Luang Pu Buddha Isara.
One of the guard leaders, whose name was not released, visited the soldier and apologised, saying that his guards had misunderstood and thought he was entering the area to confront protesters.
Supreme Commander Gen Tanasak Patimaprakorn ordered subordinators to coordinate with the protest faction ito ensure the safety of officers working at the Supreme Command which is in the area blocked by the protesters.

People are going to spin their wheels because they can be spun, but I have no new information about Chuck as of this writing (12:40pm PDT on Tuesday May 12) and am not going to weigh in on any wheel spinning. I am still optimistic the show will be renewed for at least 13 episodes.
If you want to spin your wheels following Twitter chit chat, have at it. But unless you see "Chuck renewed" or "Chuck canceled" twittered from a reputable source, it doesn't really mean anything.
If that's how you want to spin your wheels, go for it, but personally, I'd prefer it if you took goofy pictures of yourself, posted them on the Internet and then provided links!
It's just a preference though...

NASA's Earth Observatory released a natural-color satellite image of smoke from northwest wildfires as seen from space. Many of those fires broke out following a lightning storm last weekend.
The image above was taken aboard the Aqua satellite on September 10th. The areas in red boxes are detected as actively burning by the satellite's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer.
As of September 11th more than 8.3 million acres had burned throughout the United States, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. That number doesn't count nearly 2 million acres that were prescribed burns.
Wildfires in Siberia
Russia is also experiencing a severe wildfire season. The fires are mostly burning in remote areas of eastern and central Siberia.
More than 17,000 wildfires have burned more than 74 million acres, according to researchers at the Sukachev Institute of Forest in the Russian Academy of Sciences.

This edition has the dotted tinting and the "oh shit"
line. This edition also has a small line coming up from the bottom
of the OS line, which
none of the other versions has. This deck was used in the 1993
reprint called The Original Rider/Waite Tarot Pack by
US Games Systems, except it has the rose & lilies card back.
Stuart Kaplan has this version with that particular backing in
his collection. The horse is colored more completely than in
the A version. Overall thickness of lines is increased and muddied.
This is a less refined version than A.
The word LOVE does not
appear in this version below Pixie's signature.

Right now I think I might just use microsoft's free Exchange Intelligent Message Filter for filtering spam. I might also try Symantec Mail Security for Exchange for virus scanning.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome and appreciated!!
I currently use Symantec's mail Security for the virus scan and the free Intelligent message Filter for the spam. It seems to work out pretty well, just have to play with the settings some to make sure it is not deleting good emails. Gives you two options so that you can set a spam level to delete emails and the other gives you the option to set what spam level will filter the email into the users junk mail folder.

Derbyshire edge closer to the drop as Chris Woakes hits career-best
LV CC Division One, Derby
Close, day two: Warwickshire 391-9 dec, Derbyshire 44-5
Warwickshire 4 pts Derbyshire 2 pts
Derbyshire are on the verge of dropping back to Division Two after being outplayed for the second day running by 2012 county champions Warwickshire.
Chris Woakes completed a career-best 152 not out, sharing a record ninth-wicket stand for the ground of 166 with Maurice Chambers, who hit his maiden fifty, as the Bears declared on 391-9.
The hosts then buckled in reply, being reduced to 44-5 before an early close.
- The stand of 166 between Maurice Chambers (above) and Chris Woakes bettered the stand of 135 between Sussex pair Henry Parks (uncle of future England wicket-keeper Jim) and Tich Cornford, against Derbyshire in 1935, as the best ninth-wicket partnership recorded at Derby's County Ground.
Keith Barker bowled unchanged to take 3-21, backed by Chambers (2-21).
On-loan fast bowler Chambers staked a claim for a full-time Warwickshire contract after passing his previous highest first-class score of 30, for Essex against Leicestershire two summers ago, having arrived at the crease with a first-class batting average of just 5.57.
After resuming on 285-8, with rain having washed out the morning session, Chambers and Woakes went on to add a further 98 runs under the floodlights, ensuring a third batting point to help the Bears' bid to earn a more lucrative top-three finish.
Chambers was finally stumped after giving spinner David Wainwright the charge, having shared in a stand that, although well short of the county best of 233, set by Jonathan Trott and Jeetan Patel against Yorkshire at Edgbaston in 2009, was still the best by any ninth-wicket pair on the County Ground at Derby, eclipsing a 78-year-old record.
Woakes' effort surpassed his own previous career-best 136, set against Hampshire at Edgbaston in 2010.
Having been denied a third bowling point, Derbyshire, needing to win to stay up, were soon in desperate trouble.
Ben Slater was lbw to the third ball of the innings, skipper Wayne Madsen edged Chambers to first slip and Paul Borrington was taken at gully to leave the home side reeling at 9-3.
Chambers then had former Warwickshire wicketkeeper Richard Johnson caught by ex-Derbyshire skipper Rikki Clarke at second slip before Alex Hughes was caught behind off Barker.
Still needing another 198 to avoid the follow-on, with two days left, Derbyshire's only hopes of survival now appear to rest with Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

"BETTWS-GWERFYL-GOCH, a parish in the hundred of Edernion, in the county of Merioneth, North Wales, 5 miles to the N.W. of Corwen, its post and union town. It is situated on the river Alwen, which is crossed by a bridge of three arches. There is some good scenery in the valley of the Alwen. The inhabitants of the district are extensively employed in the knitting of hosiery. The living is a rectory in the diocese of St. Asaph, of the value of £124, in the patronage of the bishop.

BETTWS-GWERVIL-GOCH, a parish in the hundred of EDEYRNION, county of MERIONETH, NORTH WALES, 6 1/2 miles (W. N. W.) from Corwen, containing 273 inhabitants. The village is situated on the road from Bala to Ruthin, and on the small river Alwen, over which there is a bridge of three arches. The vale of Alwen is pleasingly picturesque, particularly at Point Llyn y Gigvran, where the hills along the banks of the stream, from the base to the summit, are thickly clothed with trees : the Alwen is here crossed by a bridge of one wide arch. The parish is about ten miles in circumference, and not more than one-half is under cultivation : it forms part of the district which is noted for the knitting of woollen hose. A farm, called Bottegir, in the county of Denbigh, is within its limits, and was the residence of Col. William Sainsbury, who bravely defended the castle of Denbigh, for fourteen weeks, against a besieging body of parliamentarians under Major-General Mytton, and then surrendered only upon the most honourable terms. Fairs are held here. on June 22nd, August 12th, September 16th, and December 12th, for horned cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs; that in August is one of the largest lamb fairs in North Wales. The living is a discharged rectory, in the arch deaconry and diocese of St. Asaph, rated in the king's books at £5. 4. 7., and in the patronage of the Bishop, of St. Asaph. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is in the early style of English architecture : near the entrance there is a piscina. Close to the church is a well, called St. Mary's. It is in contemplation to erect a National school, for the benefit of poor children of this parish. The average annual expenditure for the maintenance of the poor is £ 107. 9."

Date Filed:
July 20, 2010
U.S. District Court, Central District of California
Type of Case:
Wage and Hour
Case Number:
Company Name:
Schneider National Carriers, Inc.
California-based regional drivers, represented by Hagens Berman, accused Schneider National Carriers Inc. of failing to pay all wages, mileage, and benefits required by state labor laws.
U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey S. White recently appointed attorneys from Hagens Berman to serve as lead counsel for the proposed class of current and former regional drivers in the class-action lawsuit against Schneider National. Judge White also appointed the Marlin & Saltzman firm to represent dedicated and intermodal drivers against Schneider National in a consolidated action with the regional drivers.
Schneider National drivers claim they were required to work long hours with few breaks and for pay that failed to adequately compensate them for all wages due. According to the complaint, drivers were obligated to wait for customers and new assignments without proper compensation for their time. The company also denied drivers compensation for time spent inspecting vehicles and completing daily paperwork, internal documents show.
In addition to the alleged failure to pay its drivers proper wages for non-driving work time, Schneider National allegedly paid mileage rates based on computerized estimates that routinely fell below the actual distances driven en route, the lawsuit states.
Attorneys believe that Schneider National grossly violated California's labor laws and deprived its drivers' of proper wages, accurate employment records, itemized wage statements and wages due at termination.
Hagens Berman seeks to recover lost wages and benefits to which regional drivers were entitled under California labor laws.
Hagens Berman purchases advertisements on search engines, social media sites and other websites. If you send us information, note that does not create an attorney-client relationship with the firm.

|Increasing Attention for Tutor/Mentor Programs
In this 1995 Commentary in the Chicago Tribune, John McCarron said that Dan Bassill and the Tutor/Mentor Connection has a "master plan" for saving kids. All of the information on this and other T/MC web sites is part of that 'master plan'. This 4-part strategy of the Tutor/Mentor Connection shows that the T/MC collects information that is hosted on this site and works to increasing the number of stories in print, electronic, internet, business and faith communities that point to where tutor/mentor programs are needed, why they are needed and organizations already operating that need a constant flow of operating dollars, technical support and volunteers to grow from "good to great". In addition to these media stories look at the number of times T/MC staff have written about other Tutor/Mentor programs in Chicago in blog articles - see pdf.
This article printed in the Chicago Tribune in December 1994 outlines the Public Awareness strategy that the T/MC has been leading every year since then.
This is a list of stories that support this strategy. Click the link to open a PDF and read the story. The ideas shared in these stories are just as relevant today as in the past and the challenges of poverty are even more severe. See more interviews here. Awards here.

There once was a florist who did good business selling flowers on a street corner. One day, a group of friars moved in and set up their own flower stall across the street. Of course, the florist began losing business because everyone preferred to buy their flowers from the men of god. The florist decided to hire a hitman, name Hugh, to stop the friars. Hugh went across the street in the middle of the night and smashed the friars' stall, burned their flowers, and then went and beat up the friars in their beds. From then on the florist enjoyed much higher sales, proving once and for all that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

Navigating a Sea of Summer Dance
By JENNIFER DUNNING
Published: August 13, 2004
The summer performing-arts festivals have just begun in New York City. For little or no money, dancegoers can get a taste of companies and choreographers they might otherwise never see — and might never want to again — but this is a time for experimentation. How to choose, given the unfamiliarity of many of the attractions? And how to survive the marathon?
Dance is a featured attraction this weekend at both the New York International Fringe Festival and Lincoln Center Out of Doors, though the Fringe attractions tend to be more theater-dance than pure-movement programs. Fringe dance is geared toward audiences who like to take risks with the unknown, which most Fringe events are. Lincoln Center caters more to those who know what they like and want to see more of the same genre.
Attendance must be planned ahead for Fringe events, which require tickets, but the free Lincoln Center programming may be drifted through with a pleasurable summertime laziness, through an entire day.
Rules for summer festivalgoing include wearing sensible shoes and bringing fans. On a hot day, the heat inside an unairconditioned theater can rival the sun beating down on Lincoln Center Plaza. Sunscreen and bottled water are also a wise investment for the Lincoln Center festival.
At Lincoln Center, the battle is nearly constant for seats in the shade or with good sightlines. Be warned: rain may suddenly come. Or a child's chatter may prove to be an overwhelming distraction, though Lincoln Center programs tend to be fun for the entire family. And as at the Fringe, all are welcome, whether neophyte or aficionado.
But patience is required. Gold may be found in some (though not all) of the Fringe's least promising shows. A terrific performer may shine out from a dull piece. Magic is made as it was in the attic and back-lawn shows of childhood. That was the experience of "Smoke," a Fringe production last year by Peter Golightly's Kyoto-based KyoRyuKan Theater. The Black Box Theater at the Washington Square Methodist Church was hot and airless and perspiration rolled down the faces of the three performers and soaked their costumes. Like the set, those costumes were made of the simplest materials. But "Smoke" magically conjured up the difficult journey home of two dead souls.
In 1997 and 1999, Fringe programs offered an early look at three imaginatively idiosyncratic young modern-dance choreographers — Clare Byrne, Yanira Castro and Rachel Thorne Germond — near the start of their careers. And both festivals give dance fans a chance to catch up with familiar names and unfamiliar dances. I had heard of the Brazilian modern-dance choreographer Rejina Nejman but never seen her work. In last year's Fringe, she created a Brazilian cityscape full of characters that teemed with life, in a barebones dance studio with only seven dancers, in "Maria Vai com as Outras" ("Maria Who Follows the Others").
First, the choosing of events. Some of the dance at Lincoln Center is familiar fare, including programs by the modern-dance companies of Ronald K. Brown, David Parsons and Robert Battle. But other troupes will be new to most New York dance fans. Chief among them is Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu as well as the Kahurangi Maori Dance Theater of New Zealand. Based in the United States, the companies perform traditional hula (Sunday and Monday nights) and Maori dance (Aug. 25), in keeping with the festival's focus this year on dance and music from the Pacific Rim. Those who know hula only from Hollywood movie musicals or even the Marlon Brando "Mutiny on the Bounty" will likely be surprised at the richness and complexity of true traditional hula dancing and the earthy, haunting sounds of hula music.
The pioneering Dallas Black Dance Theater will also make a rare New York appearance at Lincoln Center. It is one of several troupes founded over the years, throughout the nation, by dauntless women who believed that black dancers should have a place to perform in a largely hostile dance environment. Ann Williams, a practical visionary, set down roots in Dallas in 1976, and her company is known for its high-energy physical acuity and wide-ranging repertory. The program will be shared with Mr. Brown's Evidence troupe (Aug. 24 and 25), which is also predominantly black.
This is a missed opportunity if ever there was one. Why not pair one of them with a white company for true diversity and programming comparable in its distinctiveness to anything the Fringe might offer? There will also be day and night-time dance and music programs at Lincoln Center by Sounds of Korea (Aug. 22) and Maria Bermudez y Sonidos Gitanos Flamenco (Aug. 28). And cabaret and traditional Oriental dance will be performed in the endearingly entitled "Divine Divas of Bellydance Part II" (Aug. 26).
Now, into somewhat uncharted territory. For those who prefer a relatively sure bet, there is "Andru's Head," a rock musical at the Fringe Festival whose plot has something to do — I'm not sure what — with a power struggle between a disembodied head and an evil corporate type over a children's television program. The show, which opens tomorrow for scattered performances through Aug. 27 at the Players Theater, has music and lyrics by Stephen Wilson, with a book and choreography by Mark Dendy.

- How to Read a Study Record
The proposed Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience of Depression will focus on understanding the neurobiological mechanism of depression. A total of 5 projects are proposed. The center is focused on a single hypothesis. The first project examines localization of lesions, structural changes in critical regions subserving the circuit, alterations in the white matter tracts relevant to the circuit and changes in glutamate. The second project uses post mortem cell counting and cellular localization in serotonin receptors and assessment of the type of cell loss in the orbitofrontal cortex. The third project uses cognitive paradigms and functional MRI to probe the circuit and the role of brain lesions and serotonin on the functioning of this circuit. The fourth project uses transgenic and knockout mice to examine to role of norepinephrine and serotonin as it relates to the circuit. The final project is designed to assess in these transgenic mice using multielectrode array of single neuron recordings of the firing pattern of the circuit neurons in various states and tasks and the role of monoamines in modulating this circuit.

Famed celebrity psychic Uri Geller and two partners lost a federal lawsuit citing that the owners of Elvis Presley's home had reneged on a deal to buy the pre-Graceland abode via eBay.
The King had bought the 3,000-square-foot ranch house with his early song royalties. Elvis and family resided there for 13 months before fans forced them out to a more sedate and secluded Graceland.
Psychic Geller, who shot to fame by bending spoons on TV in the 1970s - allegedly by the power of his 'undeniable 'mental mastery - had the winning bid to acquire the former -Elvis home for $905,100 from owners Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman.
But the deal fell through when they said Geller's group altered the terms of the real estate deal, rending it unacceptable.
Geller claims they stiffed him to close a deal with Nashville record producer Mike Curb who bought the El-home for $1mil.
U.S. District Judge Jon McCalla ruled the eBay auction was more of an advertising venue than a binding sales contract.
Even if it was a contract, the judge ruled, Geller breached it when they changed the closing terms.
Didn't see that one coming - did ya, Uri?

Sunday Confessional: He's Not Excited About Our Anniversary
Like us on Facebook
Dear husband: You didn't fail to disappoint me today. You remembered our anniversary but had no intentions of doing anything beyond a grumbled "happy anniversary." What's so happy about it? I've spent a week putting thought and love into your gifts (cheesy, cutesy things like hugs 'n' kisses in a box, something you love), but you couldn't be bothered. Thank you for letting me know how very much you care.
Do you think this is a big deal?

This is bullshit. Wedding anniversaries are certainly an occasion where gifts are exchanged as well as a time to remember the special day together. If not, why would there be a chart of the traditional gift given at each anniversary (first year paper, second cotton, 25th silver, etc.) It's clear to every man married or not that this is a special occasion. Maybe you and your husband don't celebrate that way, but it's not a shock or a surprise that someone might be hoping to have a special day with their spouse. Saying that she should have been clear is maybe not completely unreasonable, but in general, it's certainly an occasion that is celebrated with gifts, and anyone whose been alive for more than five minutes knows that.
the-notorious-b 6 years
My boyfriend kind of effed-up on our first anniversary, too. I think I wouldn't have been so upset if it wasn't the first. Of course, I think he would have had a clue about how important the day was to me, if it hadn't been the first. It was 3 months ago, and it still bothers me a little bit, but I try to take a deep breath, and remember all of the good things he does. The hurt didn't come from not 'getting' something from him... which I eventually did get... but it came from him not showing me love and appreciation in the same way that I show him. So, sometimes it feels like he must not love me, if he doesn't do the same things I do. It is when I step back and notice *his* way, that I realize how very lucky I am. Perhaps this woman's husband feels pressed, or is unhappy in their marriage. Perhaps she is not appreciative... perhaps he isn't either. There could be hundreds of reasons that their day went like it did, but without two-way communication, it can't be fixed. She should try talking to him after sex... men are more emotionally open then.

I agree with janneth and miss sushi. And I have never seen (not in my relationships or from what I've observed and seen in others relationships) a guy who does absolutely nothing (or a small something grudgingly) for a birthday or anniversary, yet is romantic and sweet the rest of the year. Usually, guys who make an effort on those days, are the types to do little things all the time. Guys who complain about the crass consumerism of anniversaries or other holidays use that excuse as a way to maintain their status quo
staple-salad 6 years
Did the woman make her expectations heard? Did she say that she wanted to celebrate, or has this been a trend in their relationship? If the answer to these is no, then it's not a big deal. Communication is very important in relationships.
janneth 6 years
The problem is that it is important to her. How hard would it be for him to celebrate the day with her? To do something meaningful, flowers, a sweet note, a foot massage. Obviously he won't put himself out. And if he is such a big grump, I doubt he is Mr. Wonderful the other 364 days of the year.
MissSushi 6 years
She doesn't say she wanted gifts, she says she spent time and energy on her side of the anniversery and that he had no intentions of doing or saying anything other then a grudging happy anniversary. I can understand what she wants, she wants to celebrate an important date, the day of their marriage and when they decided to spend their lives together. She did what he likes, which was a gift of chocolate, without receiving barely any acknowledgement of the event. She just wanted him to be a little more interested in celebrating something she thinks is important, their marriage. I absolutely don't think she's being selfish, she didn't go out and spend ridiculous amounts of money on him, nor is she demanding gifts in return. I think its pretty crappy that he acted how he did, knowing the event is important for her. That being said, while I don't agree with getting gifts or cards or any of that crap they reserve 5 huge aisles for in the store, i think it's totally apropriate to do small things for and possibly go out somewhere, do something romantic, etc. I agree with jazzy, like so many men, he's not tending the relationship. An anniversery is so far from Valentines day that it's not even funny.
jazzytummy 6 years
I think for alot of men after they marry, the "thrill" is gone. They wooed, they got the girl, they're done. They don't realize that they have to keep tending the relationship, because they expect the woman to just be happy that she has a ring on her finger and a roof over her head. My BIL was like this, married once before marrying my sister, and will clearly admit that he didn't tend his first marriage. It just never occurred to him that you need to continually make an effort, or one partner is always going to be the one who does more for the other person. I agree that you should never do a kindness for another expecting something in return, but there is a limit to how much one-sidedness a relationship can endure before serious resentment builds. I get that some guys aren't into b-days and holidays, but to me an anniversary is special...it celebrates the commitment you made and the life that you share. I don't equate it with Valentine's day. I know people will disagree, but any guy that doesn't acknowledge his anniversary is a selfish douche, in my book. Sorry, OP.
karlotta 6 years
I try and not force my boyfriend to pretend he likes to do things he doesn't. That way, I know that every time he looks happy, in love with me, or in the mood for sex, it's actually genuine. Since her guy isn't into special holidays, she should just drop it instead of trying to MAKE him into something he's not. As long as he loves her and treats her right, she shouldn't have expectations that are not compatible with who he is. Totally unrealstic, and the reason why a lot of married men look like they just swallowed live calamari.
Chrstne 6 years
If she wanted an actual gift in return for her gift, then she should have made it explicitly clear. Part of being a successful couple is getting these kind of things straightened out before someone gets hurt when the occasion arises. He does many other things during the year, which may seem to him as better than some flowers or another nice gift. Men usually express their affection in doing things for you...not necessarily buying things for you. Appreciate what you have, and next time ask for what you want. A little post it note that says "flowers might be nice ;) " can convey your message pretty clearly. However, I am all for spelling out your expectations.

Hiding55 6 years
I have been in this situation before so I know how it feels. It feels terrible! I always spend time and energy preparing for birthdays and holidays for other people and take extra care while doing so that everything is perfect. I don't think it's selfish to want someone to take the same time and consideration for you. Yeah, giving gifts isn't about getting something in return, but it sure feels nice when you do get something I return. Everyone likes to feel special once in a while.

ali321 6 years
That stinks is all. I'm not in to mushy holidays either, but I would hope he could atleast say it lovingly. No need to be grumpy about it. I don't know how long they've been together. If it's long he should know by now that it matters to her. If it's not long then she needs to let him know.
Pistil 6 years
Should he have? Maybe it would be more effective for her to TELL HIM, instead of the internet. It seems he's disappointed her AGAIN. Why didn't she speak up last time?
totygoliguez 6 years
spacekatgal I couldn't agree with you more. He should of known better that this was important to her.
opentypeA 6 years
Some people are bigger into anniversaries and birthdays and whatnot than others. Personally I'm not, but that's beside the point. I think if she thought it was such a big deal, he should at least be a little more enthusiastic about it...and there are more ways to do that than just giving gifts -- he could "just" prepare dinner, spend some extra time with her, whatever. It sounds like he's probably not the most receptive guy in the world if he acts like he doesn't even care. I think that would make anyone feel bad.
tlsgirl 6 years
I'm absolutely in agreement with RoaringSilence on that second statement. I've never understood why anniversaries or holidays like Valentine's Day were such a big deal. It's so arbitrary to just decide once a year that today you're *really* going to act loving, no matter what the rest of the year is like.
RoaringSilence 6 years
This lady needs to get her priorities straight. Giving gifts is not mainly about receiving one back, it's about making someone else happy. She didn't even mention whether or not her husband was excited about her gifts. I'm guessing he was, and she's pretty selfish if she can't appreciate that. Secondly, I would like to know how he treats her the other 364 days of the year. If he pays attention to her during those days, she really needs to stop complaining about one individual day of the year.

Anonymous donation of $100,000 will support the hungry and homeless at Community Cooperative Ministries
Anonymous donation of $100,000 will support the hungry and homeless at Community Cooperative Ministries
According to Tracey Galloway, CEO of CCMI, the umbrella agency for the Everyday Café and Marketplace, Meals on Wheels, Community Montessori Preschool and other social and homeless services, the donation, given by a benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous, is earmarked for the nonprofit's Fort Myers location for food and homeless services.
Galloway added that the number of individuals and families served in 2012 had increased by nearly 20 percent from 2011. The Everyday Café in Fort Myers serves an average of 250 to 300 people each day as well as provides groceries for families in need through its Everyday Marketplace. CCMI's homeless services provide basic human needs for our neighbors without a roof over their head and help get them into a safe, sustainable living environment.
CCMI's social service programs have expanded to include innovation classes and comprehensive case coaching and education, while serving more schools last summer with CCMI's Mobile Food Pantry and adding more schools and students to its weekend backpack program. In the last year, CCMI has served 80,000 meals from its Fort Myers and Cape Coral Everyday Cafés and Marketplaces, 105,000 meals to homebound Meals on Wheels customers and fed more than 1,500 students each school weekend through its emergency backpack and school-pantry program.
CCMI's Everyday Café and Marketplace concept makes food more easily available to everyone in the community who is hungry. The market model also decreases the stigma associated with standing in line for a hot meal or groceries and reduces significant waste in the preselected grocery bag model.
CCMI is an innovative nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization made up of social service entrepreneurs fighting to end homelessness and hunger in our community. The agency provides more than 15,000 meals each month through its Everyday Café and Marketplace and Home Delivered Meals programs. CCMI also educates 40 children in its Community Montessori and offers homeless and comprehensive case management services through its United Way Resource Houses.
CCMI serves Fort Myers and the greater Lee County area, including Bonita Springs, Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres. CCMI works in partnership with United Way of Lee, Hendry and Glades, Harry Chapin Food Bank and various community foundations as well as collaborating with fellow community and service groups including The School District of Lee County and numerous churches, businesses and community support organizations.

I just got these because I needed a second pair of goggles and these already had great reviews. I love how lightweight and versatile they are. I've used them on bluebird days and snowy pow days and had great visibility in both types of conditions. They fit great with my helmet and the foam around the face part dries very quickly after a slushy wet day. I highly recommend the Heiress goggles if you are looking for a good all around pair.

Smaller Fit
By Kath

About Me Intermediate
Comments about Smith Heiress Goggles - Women's:
I'm sure it's a great product, but the "women's fit" makes it a smaller fit on your face. This may be ideal for petite women, but I am average/tall, so it felt too small on my face and I had to return it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice fit and great in flat light
By Spring Ahead
About Me Advanced
My lens color is sensor mirror. I use these goggles for powder and flat light days in the Pac NW. Because the lens is so good for flat light, they do not provide the best coverage for sunny days. The great thing is you can swap out the lens for a sun-oriented one. The goggles fit great and breathe very well so there are really no other issues. They're great!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Beginner
I bought this goggles for my wife as a present (she is a beginner)and she cannot be happier with that. We are skiing mainly on the East Cost (PA) where snow condition, specially this winter, was slushy, say at least. And goggles worked great. Every time we were on the slope was very sunny and goggles blocked the sun light to a very comfortable level providing very good visability as well. Highly recommend this product as many things made by Smith.
Perfect Fit!

After searching for goggles that are manufactured for women, I can finally say that I have found the perfect goggle! These fit my face without any gaps or pressure on my nose. They align great with my Bern helmet. Totally in love!
Even prettier than photo & great outside

I used the googles in bright sunny conditions on the slopes on a warm day so far -- they breath well (even with sweat) and make everything look natural and not too dark. Just like a good pair of shades.

By Bostonskiier
I ordered these goggles for a trip to BC for low light conditions and they ended up being the only goggles I wore. Conditions were snowy or very flat light and these lenses worked great helping me see everything I needed to in the back bowls and glades!! Great product Smith!
Holy scratches easily
By Linds

I followed the manufacturer's instructions about cleaning moisture off them. Nice big fat scratches. If I would have ordered from other websites that allow you return for the life of the product the would be going back. Unfortunately they are being kept as a junk pair after only one wear. BOO
Great Goggles
By GEM

Used goggles in BC. Rainy conditions in Whistler valley but snowing in the Alpine. Great goggles, no fogging, visibility was great no matter the conditions. Boarded in sun, snow, white out, wind, etc and goggles did great. Only con is that they seem to scratch very easily so be careful where you place them when not wearing.

These are great goggles that do the trick in most conditions. On low light/shadowy days, they are not quite right. On bight days they are great. I like the vent at the top of the lenses, can be open on warmer days and closed on cold ones. Good overall goggle. Look pretty good, too.
