Sam Houston State University (known as SHSU or Sam) was founded in 1879 and is the third oldest public institution of higher learning in the State of Texas. It is located approximately one hour north of downtown Houston in the hills, lakes, and forests region of East Texas in Huntsville. It is one of the oldest purpose-built institutions for the instruction of teachers west of the Mississippi River and the first such institution of its type in Texas. The school is named for Sam Houston, who made his home in the city and is buried there.
SHSU is a member of the Texas State University System and has an enrollment of more than 18,400 students across over 80 undergraduate, 54 masters', and 6 doctoral degree programs. The university also offers more than 20 online bachelor's and graduate degrees, and its online programs are ranked high by U.S. News & World Report[citation needed]. It was the first institution classified as a Doctoral Research University by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education within the Texas State University System,[3] and while education continues to be the most popular major among students at the university, SHSU has nationally recognized programs in banking, performing arts, mathematics and criminal justice.
Nineteenth and twentieth centuries[edit]
The Sam Houston State University campus was originally home to Austin College, the Presbyterian institution that relocated to Sherman, Texas in 1876. Austin Hall was constructed in 1851 and is the oldest university building west of the Mississippi still in operation. It was renovated in 2012 and is used today for special meetings and events. Notably, Sam Houston himself attended and participated in the original dedication of the building.[4]
Created by legislation signed by Governor Oran M. Roberts on San Jacinto Day, April 21, 1879, Sam Houston Normal Institute's dedicated goal was to train teachers for the public schools of Texas. It was the first teacher-training school in the southwestern United States. On October 10 of the same year, the first class of 110 students and four faculty commenced instruction. The first President of the school, Bernard Mallon, died eleven days after the institute opened.[5]
The one-room Peabody Memorial Library was the first free-standing campus library in Texas; it was constructed in 1901 with funds provided by the George Peabody Foundation. According to the Normal Institute's catalogue, the library was "a very handsome structure, and especially designed for the purpose for which it is to be used. It is said that no school of this kind in the South has a Building equal to it."[6] Fully restored, it is now used as a venue for special university events.
When the university first opened, students received a certification to teach in the state's elementary and secondary schools. After 1919, the university began to award bachelor's degrees. In 1936, the school awarded its first postbaccalaureate degree.
Twenty-first century[edit]
SHSU celebrated its 125th year of operation in 2004.
The university launched its first capital campaign in March 2006 with a $50 million goal and closed the campaign's books on August 31, 2010, with $61.2 million in commitments. The university has 110,000 living, addressable alumni and an active Alumni Association with 10,000 members, holding 200 meetings and events annually.
SHSU-The Woodlands Center opened on May 30, 2012, on the Lone Star College-Montgomery campus. It is a 144,164 sq. ft. facility that has a five-story parking garage. The university also operates SHSU-University Park on the property of Lone Star College-University Park in unincorporated Harris County near Tomball.[7]
Name changes[edit]
Throughout the course of its history, Sam has undergone several name changes.
- April 21, 1879, founded as Sam Houston Normal Institute
- 1923: Sam Houston State Teachers College
- 1965: Sam Houston State College
- 1967: Sam Houston State University
In April, 2007, Texas House Bill 1418 passed without objection in the Texas Legislature, preventing The Texas State University System's Board of Regents from changing the university's name to Texas State-Sam Houston.
The oak-studded Sam Houston State University main campus sits on 316 acres in the central area of Huntsville. Two large agricultural complexes feature a 1,600 acre teaching and research farm and a rodeo arena. The campus also features a planetarium, an observatory, a body farm, and an 18-hole golf course named Raven Nest. The mall area of the main campus includes Blatchley Bell Tower and Clock and a fountain.
The campus stood in for the fictional Austin University in the motion picture The Life of David Gale.

Sam Houston State's academic departments and programs are organized into seven colleges:
- College of Business Administration[11]
- College of Criminal Justice[12]
- College of Education[13]
- College of Fine Arts and Mass Communication[14]
- College of Humanities and Social Sciences[15]
- College of Sciences[16]
- College of Health Sciences[17]
Additionally, the university enrolls more than 350 students in the Elliott T. Bowers Honors College.
Programs within the College of Criminal Justice were recently ranked by the Journal of Criminal Justice in the top five nationally. The theater and dance programs were ranked by Dance Spectrum Magazine in the top 25 nationally, and according to the National Dance Association, SHSU is home to quality athletic dance team.[18] The university offers the only Professional Golf Management program in Texas, one of 20 in the country. SHSU also boasts one of the oldest speech and debate programs in the nation.
As April 2012, the university offers:
- Seventy-eight undergraduate degree programs
- Fifty-four masters' programs
- Six doctoral programs (Clinical Psychology, Counselor Education, Criminal Justice, Educational Leadership, Special Education, and Reading)[19]
College of Criminal Justice[edit]
SHSU's College of Criminal Justice is the largest and one of the oldest criminal justice programs in the nation. Huntsville has long been associated with criminal justice, being the co-headquarters of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the home of several prisons, including the Walls Unit which houses the state's execution chamber, located about two blocks north of the campus.
In 1970, the College became one of the first programs in the U.S. to offer the Ph.D. in criminal justice, and it was the first institutions the State of Texas to offer the Masters of Science in Forensic Science. SHSU's PhD in Clinical Science with a Forensic emphasis is one of seven such accredited programs in the U.S. The College faculty were recently recognized as the 4th most productive nationally in their field in terms of research, and their areas of expertise range from serial murder, hate crime, and terrorism to policing, law, corrections, and security.
The College of Criminal Justice includes the headquarters of the Texas Forensic Science Commission.[20] It also houses the Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas, which specializes in training for local, state, and federal law enforcement officers in the area of management and supervision. The College also houses a working courtroom where students can observe and analyze real trials.
Texas Studies[edit]
The university has been commended as of late for offering courses that encourage the study of the lore, the lure, and the history of the Lone Star State.[21] In 2012, digital archivists at the university library worked with officials at a local veterans museum to launch the Texas Military Veterans Oral History collection.
Sam Houston State's colors are orange and white and their nickname is the Bearkats. Sam Houston State sports teams participate in NCAA Division I (Championship Subdivision for football) in the Southland Conference. Most recently, the top-ranked Bearkat football team was defeated by North Dakota State University in the 2012 NCAA Division I Football Championship.
SHSU's athletic teams have been nicknamed "The Bearkats" since 1923 when the University's name was changed by the Texas State Legislature from Sam Houston Normal Institute to Sam Houston State Teachers College. Prior to 1923, the varsity sports teams were nicknamed "The Normals."
It is doubtful those who coined the "Bearkat" nickname had a particular animal in mind. More likely, the name came from a popular local saying of the time, "tough as a Bearkat!" The late Reed Lindsey, who was a student/athlete in the 1920s and later retired as University registrar, once said that "it was a good fighting name of the time." Since the animal in the saying was thought more mythical than real, the spelling settled upon was "Bearkat."
In the late 1940s, then SHSU president Harmon Lowman attempted to change the SHSU mascot from Bearkats to "Ravens" (after General Sam Houston's Cherokee nickname). Mrs. Vernon Schuder reported that the alumni were polled and she voted for the raven but that "all those old Bearkats beat us out!"
A Sammy Bearkat mascot character, with the later addition of a Samantha, began appearing at SHSU sports events in 1959. Samantha is now retired.
SHSU's primary rival is Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) and tensions between the two schools can run high before major sporting events that pit one against the other. The annual football game between SHSU and SFA, named the Battle of the Piney Woods, dates back to 1923. Since 2010, the series has been played at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The rivalry is the second-oldest Division I Football Championship Subdivision rivalry in Texas.
Sam Houston's Bearkat is represented by Sammy Bearkat, a costumed mascot, who has entertained and led crowds in cheers during sporting events since 1959.
Club sports[edit]
Club sports are very popular at SHSU. Some available to students include: Ultimate Frisbee, lacrosse, rugby, martial arts, trap and skeet, inline hockey, basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, and baseball. The Sam Houston Quidditch team won the 2013 IQA World Cup Division 2 championship. The Spirit Programs, cheer, dance, and mascots, of Sam Houston hold the most National titles out of all of the sports and recreational activities at Sam Houston. The coed team is the reigning champions from NCA this past April. The All Girl team made school history by winning their first National Championship in April 2014. [22]
Campus media[edit]
The SHSU School of Mass Communication operates KSHU, a student-run radio (90.5 FM) and television (cable channel 7) station, broadcasting news, sports, and entertainment programming for the campus and community. "The Houstonian" is the student-published twice-weekly campus newspaper.[23] Broadcast studios and offices for all three media are located within the Dan Rather Communication Building.
The Alcalde was the university's annual yearbook, published from 1910 to 1998 and 2003 to 2006; it was named in honor of Texas Governor Oran Roberts whose nickname was "The Old Alcalde."[24]

Sadstuck!!!!! TW: Main character (you) death. Read at your own jurisdiction.
As the hot water from the shower runs down your body, blending with your tears, you reflect on the past few months. Your heartstrings pull as you remember that day when it all started.
"What the hell's got you so upset?" Some shoes came into your vision. They were scuffed and torn in some places, but otherwise in good condition. Your tear-stained eyes traveled upwards and at the person who was questioning you. Karkat Vantas. His eyes showed annoyance, mostly because his friend had told him to go over to you. You wiped your eyes with your jacket sleeve, embarrassed at your current state.
"I'm sorry..." was all you could say. His scowl turned to a frown.
"Don't be fucking sorry. Get up off your ass and get the fuck over whatever happened." Those were his parting words. He walked away, leaving you awestruck. Nonetheless, you did as he said. You pushed yourself off of the ground and walked away.
Oh, if only it were so simple now. You let out a choked sob, remembering his face when you two became friends.
"What the fuck are these?"
"Obviously, they're cookies. I wanted to thank you for the other day." He continued to stare at your outstretched hand's contents. Was the subject of thanks foreign to him? It took him a moment to realize you were giving him an odd look, and he grabbed the cookies quickly, his cheeks slightly tinged with pink.
"Thanks, I guess... I just didn't want to hear your crying while I was trying to have a conversation." He looked away from you. He didn't see you smile at him.
"I'm sorry for that. I have to go now, but I'll see you around, alright Karkat?"
"Whatever..." You turned and left to your seat, waiting for the class to begin. Karkat looked at the cookies, unsure of what to think of the whole situation. He didn't know that telling you to get off your ass would get him cookies and thanks. The corner of his mouth twitched upwards into a half-smile as he looked up at you. "Dumbass."
Time surely went by fast. It wasn't until a week after you gave him the cookies did you talk to him again. More tears went down your cheeks and you smiled sadly at the memory.
"Karkat, come on! We're going to be laaaaaaaate!" Vriska Serket pulled Karkat along by his wrist, something he wasn't too comfortable with. He wasn't fighting it, though. There was something that drew him to Vriska, and she had taken an interest to him as well. There was no publicly official announcement, but it was assumed by all that the two were together.
You shut your locker just in time to see Vriska and Karkat. She stopped near you and smirked wickedly, causing you to push back against your locker.
"Well, well, well... Looks like little miss No Friends showed up at school still! Didn't you learn by now? No one likes you." Her voice was full of malicious intent, hope that every word stung you. They did. Your head hung low and tears threatened to fall.
"What the fuck are you talking about, Vriska?" Karkat had never seen her like this. Sure, she was rude to most people, but never this harsh. He looked at you, just taking it. He had to defend you, or this would definitely go on. "What do you mean no one likes her?"
Vriska was shocked that Karkat would speak up about you. Did you have anything to do with this? "All I'm saying is that she has no business even showing up anymore. She doesn't have any friends, baby. She wouldn't have any if she even tried!" She wrapped her arm around his own, eyelashes batting.
"I'm her friend." Shock plastered both Vriska's and your own face. She dropped his arm as if it were poison and he walked over to you. "Are you alright?" he asked. You nodded and looked fearfully at Vriska. She looked ready to stab you at that point, and there really was nothing that would stop her. However, all she did was walk away.
"Why did you help me?" you asked, looked Karkat straight in the eyes. He looked tired.
"I have no fucking clue." He grabbed your hand. "Let's get the fuck out of here." He pulled you away from your locker. You assumed he had meant the hallways, but he meant the entire school. You both left through the front gates and onto the street. He kept on pulling you until you got to a frozen yogurt shop, where he pushed you into a chair and got some yogurt for you both. After paying the guy that worked there, he took his seat with you. "Here." He held out the cup for you, and you took it hesitantly.
"Thanks..." The two of you ate in silence. Once finished, he sighed and looked at you tensely.
"So, how long has that bullshit been going on?"
More tears fell. You told him everything that day. How Vriska made you life hell since day one of high school, how you had began cutting sophomore year (You showed him the scars, making him go into a rant about self worth.), and how the day he had talked to you was the day Vriska had told you to kill yourself and that you were even thinking about pulling through with her demand. He had comforted you all day that day, and became your friend.
A month passed and Vriska had gotten easier on you. She only glared at you in the halls, because you were usually talking to Karkat. It was finally easy for you to go to school. Your grades began to rise, your parents commended you on doing well, and you had Karkat to look forward to every day. Just two months ago, he asked you to be his girlfriend, which you graciously accepted. The two of you were happy, that is, until your first fight.
"What the fuck, ______?" Karkat shot out of his desk chair. You were visiting his house, and had accidentally spilled your drink in his lap.
"I'm so sorry, Karkat!" You attempted to help him, but he swatted your hands away, his anger getting the best of him.
"No, fuck off! God, you can't do anything, can you?" You pulled back, eyes wide. He stomped off to his bathroom to go change into his sweats he had left in there. You stared at your empty cup in silence until he returned. "What the fuck are you still doing here? Go home." You set the cup on his desk and grabbed your bag, then left without a word. You didn't speak with him for 3 weeks. It was unsure as to whether the two of you broke up, so you finally got the courage to ask him one day.
"Karkat, can we talk?" He looked away from his friend, Gamzee, to you, frowning.
"About what?" You looked at Gamzee, who nodded and walked away to chat with Terezi, who was walking down the hall.
"Are we still together?" It wasn't like you to beat around the bush, and you got right to what you wanted the answer for. He looked surprised, but shook it off and looked away.
"I don't fucking care. Do whatever the fuck you want. Just don't get sad about it. No one likes a girl who has a bunch of fucking scars all over herself." You pulled at your jacket sleeve self-consciously. He saw this, and forced himself to think nothing of it. "Now, get the fuck out of my face." He didn't want to be so harsh, but there was no hope in your relationship, to him. You left without a word. You went straight home.
You ran your finger down your many scars that lined your arm. There were so many, most of them because of Vriska. You never expected the deepest ones to be for Karkat, though. You thought he really cared, and that brought another wave of tears around. You thought back to just two days ago, the second to last time you spoke to him.
You hadn't gone to school since the day you broke up. Rumors were flying around every corner you went. Whispers of you cutting and sleeping with Karkat were the loudest. You never slept with Karkat, and you had only cut three days ago. Your skin was paler that usual, but covered by the jacket you always wore. You got to your locker and spotted Vriska with Karkat again. Your heart nearly stopped when Vriska began to walk towards you, Karkat in tow.
"Look who decided to show her face again! What's wrong, run out of places to cut?" She laughed like the villain she was, and Karkat said nothing to defend you. He only watched as you smiled sadly.
"There's always a place for you, Vriska." You looked up at her, still smiling. "It just so happens, it's in hell."
It happened so fast, you almost didn't think it was real. Vriska slapped you, leaving a red mark on your cheek. Your eyes were wide, as well as Karkat's.
"How dare you speak back to me, you worthless piece of shit! Go fucking kill yourself, bitch!" You flinched and Karkat was in too much shock to say anything. Vriska pulled him along angrily as she left, only allowing him to look back at your shaking form.
You looked at the razor in your hand and smiled sadly, thinking about yesterday. Karkat had tried to talk to you, at least. But it was pointless. You were nearly lifeless now. Just a slice with the razor and you were free.
"______, are you okay?" Karkat pulled on your shoulder, making you face him. He took in everything about you. Your hair was a mess and untamed, your cheeks sunken, your eyes baggy an lifeless, your lips chapped.
"I'm perfectly fine, Karkat. There's nothing to worry about." Your voice sounded too happy to be your own. You felt nothing.
"That's bullshit and you know it!" He pulled up your sleeve and frowned deeply. The fresh cuts were scabbing over. "_____..." You smiled sadly and pulled your arm away gently.
"Don't you have Vriska waiting for you?" You were right, of course, but Karkat seemed not to want to leave you. The devil woman herself saw you two and was fuming as she near ran to the two of you.
"Karkat! What the fuck are you doing with her?" She pushed his chest, forcing him to back up. Before he could protest, Vriska began to harass you. "And you! Who the fuck do you think you are, talking to him? You're a low-life piece of trash who needs to learn their place!" She swung at you, then. You just took it. No tears fell. She kept hitting you and Karkat kept trying to stop her, but it was no use. Soon, a crowd formed, most cheering for Vriska. Some were yelling a her to stop like Karkat, but could do nothing about it. You lay on the ground, making no noise and accepting the beating. Once she was tired out, she spit on you, a victorious smirk decorating her face.
"Now you know where you belong: In the dirt."
She left, as well as the crowd. Karkat dropped to his knees beside you, tears threatening to fall from his eyes as he looked at your broken form.
"_____, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, ______. I should have stopped her. I'm so sorr-" His apologies kept going, and you pushed yourself up, wincing slightly. You looked up at him and smiled. You raised your hand to cup his cheek, using your thumb to wipe away the forming tears. He stopped talking and only stared at you.
"It's okay. I forgive you." You got up and began to walk away, ignoring his yells. he yelled your name. He yelled for you to come back, but you didn't. You were gone, then. There was no getting you back.
You dragged the blade as deep as you could across your wrist. It stung and you hissed and you cut the other side just as deep. The razor fell with a clatter and your blood mixed with the water. You smiled sadly as more tears fell and soon the world began turning black.
"I forgive you..." you whispered, and then you were gone.
---------The next day at school------------
Everyone was pulled into the auditorium and Karkat Vantas cursed as he was shoved. He took his seat next to Vriska and scanned the crowd for you, but found no sign of you. Maybe you had stayed home. He hoped you were alright. Vriska attempted to hold his hand, but he pulled away with a frown.
The principal walked onto the stage, his face filled with wrinkles. Behind him were two adults, a crying woman being consoled by a grim man. What the hell was this assembly all about.
"Students, many of you might not know this girl, but some of you do. Not many of you know what happened yet, and that's why we all pulled you in here." the principal spoke. The screen on the stage now held a picture of your face, back a few years ago, when you were healthy and smiling. Worry and confusion stuck Karkat. "Yesterday evening, she was found in her bathroom. She had... committed suicide." The woman on stage, whom everyone could now assume was your mother, let out a broken sob. Karkat's grip on his chair tightened as his whole word came crashing down. Vriska beside him was in awe. She had never meant for you to actually kill yourself. She had only said that as an empty demand. She didn't want anyone dead. No one wanted you dead. "There will be a candlelight vigil tonight and 7, and anyone who wishes to speak or give condolences can attend. For now, please go back to your classrooms. Counselors are available for anyone who needs to talk."
As the flurry of student left the auditorium, Karkat was still in shock over the news. You were gone from his life. He had only known you for such a short time. He had dated you for only a few weeks, and then broke it off with you over something so stupid. Now, you were gone. You said you forgave him, though. Was that for everything? God, this was too much.
Karkat ran as fast as he could. He ran past your old locker, which was now being adorned with notes and flowers. He ran past the grassy area where just yesterday he was on his knees beside you. He ran and ran until he got to the yogurt shop where you told him your whole story. He stepped inside and got the same yogurt he got you that day, then sat in the same seat you sat in. You were gone, but he wasn't ready for you to be. He wanted to take it all back. He wanted to go back all the way until freshman year, when he first saw you in the hallway and thought you were the most amazing girl he had ever seen and chose to talk to Vriska instead of approach you.
He wanted you, but you were gone.
There was nothing he could do but wish you weren't.

I feel almoust every god damn moment of this story, I never had a person who cared about me so much like in this story, I was always the lonely bullied abandoned girl who noone cares about, even when I would have died...... there were times where only the pain and frustration were by me and noone to stop it...
But someday I came into the first fandom and found internet friends with it, hoping to get not many homework so I could chat with my new earned friends, I stopped making homework somewhen compleatly as I lost my only real life friend back then... I stayed strong with the help of awesome internet friends... but then my parents took my computer away and threw me into deep depression with having really noone, I started cutting... but somewhen I was able to get it back, wich I of course screwed up and they took it again... I almoust hung myself then, only the pounding pain that came as I wasn't really able to breath as I tried held me back to really doing it, my parents think I'm a liar, I can feel like shit and they would still send me to school... even if I am ill they would send me there to suffer from lonelyness....
But luckily I found some real friends...
I cried during writing this all: It costed about 15 minutes I think, I can't really tell because I lost track of time...

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that ear oximetry immediately after the release of a sustained Valsalva maneuver accurately detects patent foramen ovale (PFO). One hundred sixty-five scuba divers underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE; reference method) for PFO assessment. Ear oximetry of the right earlobe was performed in a different room within a time frame of 2 hours before or after TEE. The subject and the oximetry operator were unaware of the results of TEE. Oxygen saturation (SO(2)) measurements were obtained at baseline and during the release phase of 4 Valsalva maneuvers within 10 minutes, and the average SO(2) change (SO(2) at baseline minus SO(2) at Valsalva release) was determined as the primary study end point. One hundred seventeen divers had no PFO, and 48 (29%) had PFO by TEE (mean age 39 ± 8 years). The average SO(2) change was 0.79 ± 1.13% (i.e., a slight absolute SO(2) decrease in response to the Valsalva maneuver) in the group without PFO and 1.67 ± 1.19% in the PFO group (p <0.0001). Using receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, a PFO as defined by TEE could be detected at a threshold of a Valsalva-induced decrease in SO(2) of ≥0.825 percentage points in comparison to baseline (sensitivity 0.756, specificity 0.706, area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve 0.763, p <0.0001, negative predictive value 0.882). In conclusion, the entirely noninvasive method of ear oximetry in response to repetitive Valsalva maneuvers is accurate and useful as a screening method for the detection of a PFO, as shown in this study of divers.
Article: Effect of sexual activity on cycle ergometer stress test parameters, on plasmatic testosterone levels and on concentration capacity: A study in high-level male athletes performed in the laboratory[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sexual activity on cycle ergometer stress test parameters, on plasmatic testosterone levels and on concentration capacity in high-level male athletes. Experimental design. Analysis of two days of testing accomplished in a laboratory setting, comparing a day with to a day without sexual activity (control day). Participants. Fifteen high-level male athletes, consisting of 8 team players, 5 endurance athletes and 2 weight-lifters, participated in the study. Measures. Each subject completed the following on each test day: two maximal graded stress tests on a cycle ergometer and a one-hour exercise stress test coupled to an arithmetic mental concentration test. Blood samples of testosterone were obtained and cardiac activity of each athlete was monitored with a 24-hour ECG tape recording over the two test days. Significantly higher differences were achieved for post-effort heart rate (HR) values at 5 minutes (p<0.01) and at 10 minutes (p<0.01) during the recovery phase of the morning stress test 2 hours after sexual activity. These differences disappeared during the recovery phase of the afternoon stress test performed approximately 10 hours after sexual intercourse took place. Our findings show that sexual activity had no detrimental influence on the maximal workload achieved and on the athletes' mental concentration. However, the higher posteffort HR values after the maximal stress test on the morning of sexual intercourse suggest that the recovery capacity of an athlete could be affected if he had sexual intercourse approximately 2 hours before a competition event.
Article: The Denolin Lecture 1998. Towards measurement of coronary blood flow in patients and its alteration by interventions.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Several methods of measuring coronary blood flow in intact conscious man are reviewed, on the basis of personal contributions or the experiences of our teams. It is important to distinguish between global, regional and transmural blood flow measurements. The advantages and limitations of the following methods are discussed: diffusible inert and radioactive tracers, dye dilution, roentgendensitometry, magnetic resonance imaging and contrast echocardiography. In interventional cardiology it is most important to be able to measure flow through single coronary vessels. Information on coronary artery Doppler velocity during vasodilation and at rest is less useful than the concept of fractional flow reserve. This is based on pressure measurements under maximal vasodilation to ascertain the presence of borderline flow-limiting lesions. This information is necessary in order to decide whether to proceed with angioplasty or not. The historical design of percutaneous coronary angioplasty and beta-irradiation of coronary restenosis, established under the author's guidance, are put into perspective. The author pays tribute to many excellent colleagues who worked with him at the Zurich and Geneva University Hospitals.
Article: A new technique for improved densitometric quantification of coronary artery stenoses in angiographic images[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In vitro studies have demonstrated that densitometric quantification of coronary artery stenoses is superior to geometric methods to assess non-circular lumens. However, in patients, several authors have reported significant discrepancies between area reduction percentages obtained densitometrically from two different imaging projections. Some of the factors causing the discrepancies can be reduced by simple precautions taken during image acquisition. Some others may be compensated for during analysis. Nevertheless, two factors remain problematic. The first is the inadequate spatial orientation of the vessel axes at the stenotic and reference cross sections with respect to the x-rays. The second is the difficulty in identifying the same vessel cross section in both planes at the time of analysis. We have designed a new densitometric technique that eliminates the error contributions of these two factors. The technique requires simultaneously acquired biplane coronary angiograms and biplane images of a translucent cube bearing steel markers acquired in exactly the same biplane geometry. Using the two projection matrices calculated from the images of the cube, the centerlines and the edges of the coronary arteries can be reconstructed in space from the biplane angiograms. The angles between the vessel axes and the x-ray beams can be determined and the densitometric cross sections can be corrected accordingly. Moreover, the 3D reconstruction allows the identification of the same cross section in the two planes for the determination of the area reduction percentages. Validation measurements were performed on a Perspex phantom and in patients, before and after angioplasty. In both types of measurement, the interplane discrepancies could be roughly halved. The densitometric technique presented can be incorporated into routine angiography and could become a strong alternative to the geometric approach that is presently dominating this field.

ABSTRACT: For several years, acute coronary syndromes have been perceived as causing the most hospital admissions, and even hospital mortality. The syndrome of unstable angina frequently progresses to acute myocardial infarction but its pathogenesis is poorly understood, and prognosis determination is still problematic. We tested the hypothesis that measurement of the C-reactive protein in patients admitted for chest pain could be a marker for acute coronary syndromes. We studied 110 patients admitted with suspected ischaemic heart disease, but without elevated serum creatine-kinase levels at the time of hospital admission. Patients were subsequently divided into two groups based on their final diagnosis: group 1 comprised patients with unstable angina; group 2 patients with acute myocardial infarction. We measured the C-reactive protein at the time of hospital admission. The concentration of C-reactive protein was elevated in 59% of the patients with a final diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, and in 5% of the patients with a final diagnosis of unstable angina, (P < 0.001). This study indicates that C-reactive protein levels measured at the time of admission in patients with suspected ischaemic heart disease could be a marker for acute coronary syndromes, and helpful in identifying patients at high risk for acute myocardial infarction. Measurement of C-reactive protein may have practical clinical significance in the management of patients hospitalized for suspected acute coronary syndromes.

ABSTRACT: We have developed a technique of endoluminally centred endovascular beta irradiation aimed at preventing restenosis after PTCA. The source consists of a pure metallic 90-Yttrium coil that can be positioned within the lumen at the target site by the use of a centering device and an afterloading console. Experimental evaluation of this approach showed that a dose of 18 Gy delivered at the inner arterial surface was highly effective in preventing fibrointimal hyperplasia in rabbit carotid and iliac arteries. A pilot clinical evaluation in the coronary arteries of 15 patients using the same dose demonstrated excellent feasibility and no unexpected side-effects. A dose-finding evaluation in the clinical setting is now planned.
Article: [Dynamic three-dimensional cardiac reconstruction by transesophageal echocardiography. A clinical experience apropos of 100 cases].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three-Dimensional (3D) echocardiography was performed during routine transesophageal examinations in 100 patients to identify the most promising applications. The approach used was based on the integration of multiple two-dimensional images recorded with a multiplane probe to achieve 3D reconstruction. A series of 90 cardiac cycles was recorded from a fixed position during computer-controlled rotation of the transducer. The images were digitized, then reorganized according to their spatial and temporal location. The cardiac structures were then represented dynamically in three dimensions. In 100 patients referred for transesophageal echocardiography, the 3D reconstruction provided good quality images, under new angles, such as the view of the atrial aspect of the mitral valve as seen from the roof of the left atrium. This method was particularly well suited to assess mitral valve prolapse or stenosis. The spatial extent, direction and number of jets of mitral regurgitation were easily appreciated throughout systole, as were the regurgitant jets of mechanical prosthetic valves. However, the sensitivity of the 3D method was not as good as 2D echocardiography for detecting bacterial vegetations in cases of infective endocarditis. On the other hand, the determination of the precise localization of infectious, degenerative and tumoral lesions and their size were facilitated by 3D reconstruction. The authors conclude that 3D echocardiography is applicable in routine practice and the complementary information provided in certain cardiac diseases should help management of these patients.
Article: Long-term (10 years) prognostic value of a normal thallium-201 myocardial exercise scintigraphy in patients with coronary artery disease documented by angiography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In order to assess the prognostic significance of normal exercise thallium-210 myocardial scintigraphy in patients with documented coronary artery disease, we studied the incidence of cardiac death and non-fatal myocardial infarction in 69 symptomatic patients without prior Q wave myocardial infarction, who demonstrated one or more significant coronary lesions (stenosis > or = 70%) on an angiogram performed within 3 months of scintigraphy (Group 1). These patients were compared to a second group of 136 patients with an abnormal exercise scintigram, defined by the presence of reversible defect(s) and angiographically proven coronary artery disease (Group 2), and to a third group of 102 patients with normal exercise scintigraphy without significant coronary lesions (stenosis < or = 30%) or with normal coronary angiography (Group 3). In contrast to coronary lesions observed in Group 2, patients in Group 1 presented more frequently with single-vessel disease (83% vs 35%, P < 0.0001) and with more distal lesions (55% vs 23%, P < 0.0001). Over a mean follow-up period of 8.6 years, one fatal and eight non-fatal cases of myocardial infarction were observed in Group 1. The majority of patients in Group 1 were treated medically: only 24 (35%) underwent myocardial revascularization, usually by coronary angioplasty. There was no significant difference in the incidence of combined major cardiac events (cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction) in patients with normal exercise scintigraphy, with or without documented coronary artery disease (Groups 1 and 3), while the incidence was higher in Group 2. However, while the mortality remained very low in Group 1, the incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction was not different from that of Group 2, where most patients underwent revascularization procedures. In conclusion, patients with coronary artery disease and a normal exercise thallium-201 myocardial scintigram usually have mild coronary lesions (single-vessel disease, distal location) and good long-term prognosis, with a low incidence of cardiac death.
Article: Pourquoi les β-bloquants ne sont-ils pas prescrits en urgence au cours de l'infarctus aigu du myocarde ?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective was to determine whether physicians adhere to international guidelines and prescribe early thrombolytic and β-blockade therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction. During 3 months, all patients admitted to the Emergency room (ER) or medical intensive care unit (ICU) of our University Hospital were included in the cohort. Medical experience and evaluation of drugs were assessed for 15 physicians at the begining and at the end of a 3 month residency in the ER or in the ICU. Two experts determined the « idealprescription as recommanded by international guidelines for each patient. All physicians were found to be highly convinced of the utility of thrombolysis and, despite their concern of its side effects, prescribed it as often as it was recommended. In contrast, β-blockers were prescribed to only 50% of the patients for whom this treatment was recommended. Prescriptions were independent of prior belief in effectiveness, side-effects and handling difficulty. In term of early therapy of acute myocardial infarction, the adherence to international guidelines was excellent for thrombolysis and very poor for β-blockers. This low prescription rate may be due to a unanimous rating of β-blockers as a moderatly efficient drug rather than due to the fear of major side-effects.

ABSTRACT: Degrees of stenosis (DS) obtained geometrically from the angiographic projection which shows the greatest apparent diameter reduction can be suspected of overestimating the lesion severity. In comparison, biplane measurements in more or less orthogonal projections should be more accurate. These points are, however, not quite trivial because the errors depend on the shapes of stenotic lumens and on the edge detection algorithms. To investigate these aspects, 29 lumens of different shapes were computer simulated. The results of the simulation were compared to data obtained in patients by measuring geometrically and densitometrically 25 stenoses in biplane coronary angiograms. The results of the simulation and the patient data agree with the initial expectations.
Conference Paper: Indicator dilution theory and densitometric blood flow measurements[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The indicator dilution theory is often thought to be the appropriate fundamental of most blood flow measurement techniques used daily in cardiac catheterization laboratories. By considering a simple theoretical flow system, the authors show that this theory is actually not applicable when the detector used to record the concentration-time curves is of the "trans-illumination" type, as is the case for instance in many videodensitometric applications (in these applications, pixels or groups of pixels play the role of detectors).

ABSTRACT: To decrease pre-hospital delay in patients with chest pain. Population based, prospective observational study. A province of Switzerland with 380000 inhabitants. All 1337 patients who presented with chest pain to the emergency department of the Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire of Geneva during the 12 months of a multimedia public campaign, and the 1140 patients who came with similar symptoms during the 12 months before the campaign started. Pre-hospital time delay and number of patients admitted to the hospital for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina. Mean pre-hospital delay decreased from 7h 50 min before the campaign to 4 h 54 min during it, and median delay from 180 min to 155 min (P < 0.001). For patients with a final diagnosis of AMI, mean delay decreased from 9 h 10 min to 5 h 10 min and median delay from 195 min to 155 min (P < 0.002). Emergency department visits per week for AMI and unstable angina increased from 11.2 before the campaign to 13.2 during it (P < 0.02), with an increase to 27 (P < 0.01) during the first week of the campaign; visits per week for non-cardiac chest pain increased from 7.6 to 8.1 (P = NS) during the campaign, with an increase to 17 (P < 0.05) during its first week. Public campaigns may significantly reduce pre-hospital delay in patients with chest pain. Despite transient increases in emergency department visits for non-cardiac chest pain, such campaigns may significantly increase hospital visits for AMI and unstable angina and thus be cost effective.

ABSTRACT: In order to master the overwhelming quantity of data produced by the different laboratories of our Cardiology Division, we are presently developing a centralized database. Our aim is to improve the quality of diagnoses and therapies by constituting patient centered medical files integrating logically the results of the results of the different examinations and allowing for a rapid access to the patient data. The database has to be accessible from an heterogeneous set of PC, MacIntoshes and UNIX workstations. It must have an ergonomic graphic user interface and generate reports which can be sent to the patient physician. It is well known that the requirements for a medical database make its conceptual analysis very difficult. As medical knowledge continually evolves, the examination protocols change and, therefore, the data sets have to be updated. The maintenance of classical databases is usually expensive because it requires specialized staff to alter the database structure and to adapt the user interface. To allow for flexibility, modularity, code reusability and reliability, the object paradigm was applied to a classical relational database. Thanks to the combination of both data structure and behavior in single entities, it is possible to build generic user interfaces which can be easily tailored to the needs of every laboratory of our Cardiology Division.
Article: Palmaz-Schatz Coronary Stent Implantation Without Intravascular Ultrasound and Without Subsequent Anticoagulation: Clinical Outcome.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES: To determine the safety and efficacy of antiplatelet therapy alone in a selected group of patients following coronary stenting. BACKGROUND: Coronary stent implantation is an effective treatment for abrupt closure, and can also reduce the restenosis rate following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. However, anticoagulation therapy following stent implantation is associated with a significant incidence of vascular complications and subacute stent thrombosis. METHODS: Between February and November 1994 we implanted 62 Palmaz-Schatz stents in 50 patients with an optimal angiographic result following stent deployment. In these patients, intravascular ultrasound was not used, and a regimen of aspirin 100 mg daily indefinitely and ticlopidine 250 mg twice daily for 3 months was started without anticoagulation. RESULTS: Of these 50 patients (10 females : 40 males, mean age 63 +/- 12 years, LVEF 64 +/- 10%), 39 (78%) were stented for a suboptimal angiographic result post angioplasty, 2 (4%) received stents as a bailout procedure, and 9 (18%) were stented electively. Average hospital stay following stent implantation was 3.7 +/- 3.0 days. After a mean follow-up period of 140 +/- 70 days, there were no instances of stent occlusion, death, stroke, need for coronary bypass surgery, Q-wave myocardial infarction or femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. There was 1 case (2%) of significant puncture site hemorrhage. CONCLUSIONS: Immediate angiographic appearance after stent implantation can be used to define patients at low risk of stent thrombosis who do not require anticoagulation and can safely be discharged early from the hospital.

ABSTRACT: The experience of the use of the Magnum wire in a single center is reported. Percutaneous balloon coronary angioplasty, using the Magnum 0.021 inch wire, was attempted in 723 patients with 850 lesions; of these, 453 (53%) were chronic total occlusions and 50 (7%) recent occlusions of less than 24 hours (patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction). The overall technical success rate per lesion was 655/850 (77%). It was 255/280 (91%) for non-total lesions, 311/453 (69%) for chronic total occlusions, 53/67 (79%) for functional (TIMI grade I) occlusions, and 36/50 (72%) for recent occlusions. Clinical success was achieved in 196/232 patients (84%) with non-total lesions, in 292/436 (67%) with total chronic occlusions, in 49/65 (75%) with functional occlusions, and in 34/50 (68%) with recent occlusions. Complications (significant creatine kinase rise, new Q-wave infarction, need for coronary bypass surgery or in-hospital death) occurred in 7% (3% if patients presenting with unstable ischemic syndromes were excluded from the analysis). These data confirm that the use of the Magnum wire has success rates competitive with other systems both in setting of chronic total occlusion and in that of routine percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Article: Acute embolic carotid occlusion after cardiac catheterization: effect of local intra-arterial urokinase thrombolysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 64-year-old woman developed a severe embolic cerebral attack with total left hemiplegia approximately 30 hours after cardiac catheterization for mitral stenosis. She underwent intra-arterial thrombolysis of the right internal carotid artery four and one-half hours after the onset of neurologic deficit with subsequent recanalization of the occluded vessel and near complete neurologic recovery.

ABSTRACT: Angina pectoris and asymptomatic myocardial ischemia are part of the spectrum of coronary heart disease. Not the presence or absence of angina determines the future of the patient, but repeated ischemia and the progression of the coronaropathy. This progression is neither linear with time, nor is the moment of plaque rupture foreseeable. Silent myocardial infarctions increase with age and are very frequent in diabetics. In patients without neuropathy but with asymptomatic myocardial ischemia the central pain threshold is higher than in patients with angina pectoris. The best noninvasive test for the detection, localization and estimation of extension of myocardial ischemia, be it pain-free or symptomatic, is 201-thallium scintigraphy, combined with the exercise ECG. The fight against all amendable cardiovascular risk factors and pharmacotherapy are the first steps, if asymptomatic myocardial ischemia is suspected. Augmented dyspnea on effort and rhythm disturbances are indicators of advanced multivessel heart disease. Under these circumstances coronary angiography is indicated, and further treatment should follow the generally accepted rules such as for patients with angina pectoris.
Conference Paper: Three-dimensional densitometric assessment of coronary artery stenosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Biplane densitometric measurements of area reduction percentages in coronary arteries should result in equal values for both planes. Strong discrepancies have, however, been reported by some authors. To examine the role of an inadequate spatial orientation of the cross sections relative to the X-rays of both planes, stenoses of sixty-four patients were measured in biplane digital angiograms. First, the densitometric areas of the reference and stenotic cross sections and the resulting area reduction percentages were computed in each plane. Then, the four spatial angles between vessel axis and X-rays needed to correct the densitometric areas for inadequate orientation of the corresponding cross sections in space were determined by 3D-reconstruction of the relevant vessel segments. Comparison of the interplane correlation of the area reduction percentages before and after correction of the densitometric cross sectional areas showed that the initial discrepancies were more than halved

Best Tofu (2006)
Myung Ga Tofu & BBQ Restaurant
Bubbling bowls of soup are a mainstay of Korean cooking born of cold, harsh winters, and the chigae, wherein a fiery red broth meets some combination of clams, shrimp, pickled vegetables, and marinated meat, is about as extreme as a bowl of soup can get: tangy, sweet, sour, fishy, and hot-pepper spicy all at once. Which makes Myung Ga's own freshly made tofu all the more impressive. At this unassuming Korean eatery in Weston, you can taste the tofu even in a scalding chigae. Fluffy, savory, and a little sweet, it demonstrates how important tofu is to a dish in which mass-produced tofu so often provides nothing more than flavorless texture.

Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, whose ownership turned the quiet Waverly Inn into one of the city's most sought-after reservations, continues to dabble in the restaurant business with this second venture. Carter's rep told the Times that the space will be a small restaurant, low-key, which is also what they said about the Waverly Inn, and no doubt translates to major power scene that is effectively Graydon's midtown clubhouse. It makes a lot of sense that Carter would covet the space, which is double-distilled old New York, right down to the famous monkey murals.
Picnics with a view, roller-skating nostalgia, and a party for gay headbangers.

Since birth he could hold his head up. Started smiling at two months, three months laughed and babbled. He's always had excellent motor control and at three months recognized his favorite book and got really excited just seeing the cover. Also, if you said any sentence from the book he reacted the same way. He's also sat up on his own, learned how to play a xylophone with the stick, and is started to recognize words.
Now he's 5 months. At 4 months he's learned how to stack rings on the base and take them off on his own. He's said Boob lol (he was looking at my chest, said it plain as day, then lunged!) Doggie (while looking at the dog) and dad (you guessed it, while eyeing up his dad)
So is he just normal? Smart? Advanced? He shows NO interest in crawling but desperately wants to walk

I'm loading some help text from a plist and displaying the same in the form of UILabels housed in a UIScrollView. Portion of the code follows:
UILabel *sectionDetailLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(34, myOriginForThisSection, 286, 20)] autorelease];
sectionDetailLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
sectionDetailLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
sectionDetailLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12];
sectionDetailLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
sectionDetailLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
sectionDetailLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
[baseScrollView addSubview:sectionDetailLabel];
[sectionDetailLabel setText:myStringForThisSection];
[sectionDetailLabel sizeToFit];
While any 'long' text is getting wrapped into multiple lines correctly, I'm unable to manually insert any line-breaks using newline '\n' characters in 'myStringForThisSection'. I only see the characters '\' and 'n' printed in the UILabel wherever I wanted the line-break, instead.
I looked this up and the general consensus seemed to be that setting numberOfLines to 0, setting the lineBreakMode to a valid value and invoking sizeToFit (or setting the frame of the UILabel based on sizeWithFont:) should do. All of which I seem to be doing in the code above - and works perfectly when fitting long strings of unknown length into multiple lines on the UILabel. So what could be missing here?
Note: All the variables used - baseScrollView, myStringForThisSection and myOriginForThisSection - were loaded before the above code began executing, and work fine.

U.S. regulators probing potential fraud by China-based companies increased pressure on their auditors by formally accusing affiliates of Big Four firms of withholding documents from investigators.
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd., Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP, KPMG Huazhen and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited have refused to cooperate with accounting fraud investigations into nine companies whose securities are publicly traded in the U.S., the Securities and Exchange Commission said in an administrative order today. The order also named BDO China Dahua Co. Ltd.
"The fact that the action is being taken collectively against all of the four largest audit firms and one other firm demonstrates that this is a profession-wide issue," Caroline Nolan, a PricewaterhouseCoopers spokeswoman, said in an e-mail statement. "For its part, PwC China has cooperated with the SEC at every opportunity. However, PwC China will, and must, comply with its legal obligations under China law."

Lindsey Buckingham at Pantages, 9/16/11
Lindsey Buckingham September 16, 2011 Pantages Theater
A man as obviously aware of his significance in musical history as he is of his relative obscurity as a solo artist - in comparison to his former band, and his former bandmate/partner Stevie Nicks - Lindsey Buckingham's approach to the stage just after 8 p.m. at the Pantages Friday night was an appropriate one, his lithe body popping into sight with no-nonsense aplomb before the house lights had even completely dimmed, giving a quick "Namaste" bow to the intimate audience gathered to take in the beginning of his tour in support of a new album, Seeds We Sow.
I imagine he's just as aware of his indisputable talent not only as a songwriter and producer, but also of his still-strong skills as a vocalist and guitarist, starting out his set with fiercely finger-picked guitar work matched equally by fiercely emotional vocals on "Shut Us Down," the eighth track off his 2006 album Under the Skin. His solo start to the performance was as intense as if he'd had a full band backing him.
Guitar nerds and rock fans theater-wide absolutely lost it right off the bat, and with perfectly good reason. From the first song 'til the last, Buckingham's performance was all dynamics and emoting. Man, this man can emote, through the power with which he plucks those strings, his personal and emotional lyrics and their passion in delivery. Add these qualities to his widely-renowned abilities as one of the most gifted songwriters of our time, and his performance was just moving. And this audience moved right along with him, from start to finish.
Even on tunes popularized in their full band arrangements (think Fleetwood Mac songs like "Big Love"), Buckingham was able to carry the songs with just his acoustic, and his voice. Heavy. It takes a lot of verve to carry that sort of power onstage alone, unsupported and unbacked-up by a band as he was Friday until a third of the way through his set when a band (and a set of glitzier lights) joined him. It was impressive.
A high point of the evening was his performance of "All My Sorrows," a cover of the folk standard/Kingston Trio B-side that appeared on Buckingham's 1992 album Out of the Cradle. With the band joining him onstage for some impressive harmony work, the richly lush result sounded like the Association back when the Association still sounded as good as the Association. Damn. And "In Our Own Time" off his new album was also a winner, which honestly might have turned me off had I had absolutely no context for the song, given my propensity to shun new and unexpected sounds. But knowing, "Oh, it's Lindsey Buckingham," I instead respond with, "Oh, that electronic-y, new-agey, technical guitar-y, super intricately-arranged synthy synthy synthy song? It...unexpectedly rocks!"
It's near impossible not to compare Buckingham's performance to Stevie Nicks' appearance at Mystic Lake Casino not even a month ago. He likely would not have translated well to that stage at the Mystic Amphitheater, while if Nicks had played the Pantages it likely would have resulted in a more personal and memorable experience than her performance to that large, outdoor venue. Nicks has definitely become more the "character" who can carry a large outdoor audience, but Buckingham seems perfectly at home in this small theater and likely couldn't grow his solo sound to a venue less intimate than this; that's a good thing.
So, okay, I can't resist. Let's go ahead and judge the two for comparison's sake. It's inevitable, let's go there - it's like when Glen Campbell and Tanya Tucker both came through town at different casinos on different tours in the same month - who did better? Well, Lindsey did "Tusk" and "Go Your Own Way," two of the most butt-shakin', feelin' good about life and music and everything else in spite of their downer lyrics songs of all time. Stevie talked about some witchy stuff and mysticism a bunch and wore a lot of different shawls, and she brought her vocal coach onstage to sing with her. While it was a good show, I think the winner's clear. Okay, neither of them had a USC marching band in tow, but the intent and spirit of "Tusk" was still there: Lindsey, arm up! You're the winner! (I don't mean to promote the spirit of competition and bitterness but really, if the two come to town again in such close proximity to one another, and you can only afford one ticket, come over here and sit by my side and I'll whisper in your ear which ticket is the surer bet. Liiiiindseeeeeey shhhhhhhh...)
I mean, let's face it: musically, he's one of the most talented and influential artists of a certain era of rock, and you don't need schlock to emphasize or complement that. A man singing with his guitar in a small theater will do just dandy.
But all told, to be totally honest? I'd have been a real happy camper if at some point I'd heard this lead-off: "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, ohh oh oh ohh oh ohh oh ohh ohh."
Embrace it, man!
Oh well.
Critic's bias: New fan of Buckingham's new stuff, old fan of Buckingham's Fleetwood Mac songs.
The crowd: You know what it's like when a performer meets his audience, and vice versa - energy is equal, song choices are agreed-upon? This crowd was right there with him.
Overheard in the crowd: Jerk in audience: "Where's Stevie?" Audience: "Boo hissssss" "Come on!" Buckingham: "And as I said, there is a new album... and unfortunately for that one gentleman Stevie's not on it. What show is he at?" And later, funny guy in audience: "Screw Saturday Night Live!"
Random notebook dump: You know what post-1980 Lindsey Buckingham is like? Okay, I think I've got it: when I was a kid, there was a show on TV I'd stay home from church to watch on Sundays. It featured a woman in a new-wavey, electronic but still totally rock and roll (but with requisite pop sensibilities still intact) band who by day went by the name "Jerica," and who by night went by...
This is not to disparage Buckingham, not at all, but to do my best at explaining the strange intersection at which he situated his folk and rock roots with the new wave that had enveloped the music world by the time he was ready to move on to a solo career. It's strange, and strangely appealing, and just downright awesome. I say this in full recognition that this cartoon was obviously creating a pastiche of a true cultural phenomenon that I was at my age unaware of, so really it's totally way-off to compare him to it, but moving on...

Binge Eating (cont.)
What Are the Signs of Binge Eating Disorder?
Someone with a binge eating disorder has frequent episodes of binge eating, occurring at least two days a week for six months.
Binge eating episodes are associated with at least three of the following symptoms.
While binge eaters are typically distressed about this pattern, they do not induce vomiting, fast, or abuse laxatives or diuretics.
Binge eating also occurs with another eating disorder, called bulimia nervosa. Persons with bulimia nervosa, however, usually purge, fast, or do strenuous exercise after they binge eat. Purging means vomiting or using a lot of diuretics (water pills) or laxatives to keep from gaining weight. Fasting is not eating for at least 24 hours. Strenuous exercise, in this case, means exercising for more than an hour just to keep from gaining weight after binge eating. Purging, fasting, and over exercising are dangerous ways to try to control your weight.
Often, a person with binge eating disorder feels overweight and has a history of trying to lose weight many times. Yet many failed diets may leave them feeling powerless over the binge-eating pattern.
How Is Binge Eating Treated?
Binge-eating disorder is best treated with a combination of approaches. Psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and insight-oriented therapy, can help patients learn to recognize the thoughts and feelings that can trigger binge eating. Group therapy can also be quite helpful in helping patients feel less shame around their symptoms. Some self-help strategies such as keeping a journal and meditation can help people to identify and tolerate difficult feelings that can lead to binge eating. Nutritional counseling can be used to educate the patient about healthy food choices and, more importantly, about how to recognize the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger. Finally, for some people, certain medications such as antidepressants can help to treat associated depressive symptoms and in some patients can help regulate the urge to binge eat.

Adoption Leads Family to Become Missionaries
Luebke, Nancy, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Nancy Luebke Daily Herald Correspondent
Population: 22.9 million
Climate: Maritime subtropical
Languages: Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, Hakka
Politics: Multi-party democracy
Economy: Gross domestic product is $379 billion
Faith: More than 75 percent of residents are Buddhist or Taoist. About 2 percent are Christian.

Dawn Husnick of Carol Stream became a Christian 11 years ago. Her husband, Mike, followed her into Christianity three years later.
It was the beginning of a journey that has led them to preparations to become missionaries in Taiwan this summer.
When they were looking for a church to call their own, they visited several and eventually joined Glen Ellyn Bible Church five years ago. Their church supports about 10 full-time missionaries now serving in China, Columbia, Germany, Mexico, Turkey and two Chicago neighborhoods. The church also supports the Husnicks' decision to go to Taiwan.
Their interest in Taiwan began after they added Sammy, 5, to their family.
"I felt called to cross cultural missions after we adopted our son, Sammy," Mike said.
Mike said he felt a specific need for a boy from China.
"This was laid on my heart," he said.
The Husnicks, who also have two daughters, prayed about getting a boy from China. This may have seemed like a long shot to many because China has an abundance of unwanted girls for adoption, but boys are a prized commodity and not often up for adoption.
"Doors opened and, through odd circumstances, we ended up on a special-needs Web site and saw Sammy," Dawn said.
Shunzi, or Sammy as he is called now, was in a special-needs orphanage in China because he had a cleft palate. His cleft palate has been surgically repaired since he was adopted by the Husnicks in September 2005, when he was 2. When they went to China to adopt him, something happened. They said they felt like they couldn't go back to their lives.
"We prayed about it and talked to someone at church, who set us up with TEAM," Dawn said.
TEAM is The Evangelical Alliance Mission, a global organization that facilitates missionaries. When the Husnicks started looking at mission locations, they looked at South America and China, but those two opportunities fell through.
TEAM was looking for missionaries for Taiwan, so when the Husnicks get to Taipei in Taiwan, they will work in the TEAM office for the first 18 months while they learn the language and culture.
"We want to work with youth. That is our long time goal," said Mike, who will work part time at a youth camp.
Dawn, who is certified as an ESL teacher, may also teach English while they are in Taipei. She said she will also be traveling to several churches to get the area's youth involved. TEAM has several youth camps for kindergarten through college-age students, churches, Bible study classes and a hospital, so they are willing to do whatever is needed.
