Myocardial Infarction
Assessment and Treatment of Depression Following Myocardial Infarction - Article
ABSTRACT: Approximately 65 percent of patients with acute myocardial infarction report experiencing symptoms of depression. Major depression is present in 15 to 22 percent of these patients. Depression is an independent risk factor in the development of and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease in otherwise healthy persons. Persons who are depressed and who have pre-existing cardiovascular disease have a 3.5 times greater risk of death than patients who are not depressed and have cardiovascular disease. Physicians can assess patients for depression by using one of several easily administered and scored self-report inventories, including the SIG E CAPS + mood mnemonic. Cognitive-behavior therapy is the preferred psychologic treatment. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants are the recommended pharmacologic treatment because of the relative absence of effects on the cardiovascular system. The combination of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with cognitive-behavior therapy is often the most effective treatment for depression in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Using ACE Inhibitors Appropriately - Article
ABSTRACT: When first introduced in 1981, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were indicated only for treatment of refractory hypertension. Since then, they have been shown to reduce morbidity or mortality in congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal insufficiency, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Pathologies underlying these conditions are, in part, attributable to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Angiotensin II contributes to endothelial dysfunction. altered renal hemodynamics, and vascular and cardiac hypertrophy. ACE inhibitors attenuate these effects. Clinical outcomes of ACE inhibition include decreases in myocardial infarction (fatal and nonfatal), reinfarction, angina, stroke, end-stage renal disease, and morbidity and mortality associated with heart failure. ACE inhibitors are generally well tolerated and have few contraindications. (Am Fam Physician 2002;66:473.)
Diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome - Article
ABSTRACT: The term 'acute coronary syndrome' encompasses a range of thrombotic coronary artery diseases, including unstable angina and both ST-segment elevation and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Diagnosis requires an electrocardiogram and a careful review for signs and symptoms of cardiac ischemia. In acute coronary syndrome, common electrocardiographic abnormalities include T-wave tenting or inversion, ST-segment elevation or depression (including J-point elevation in multiple leads), and pathologic Q waves. Risk stratification allows appropriate referral of patients to a chest pain center or emergency department, where cardiac enzyme levels can be assessed. Most high-risk patients should be hospitalized. Intermediate-risk patients should undergo a structured evaluation, often in a chest pain unit. Many low-risk patients can be discharged with appropriate follow-up. Troponin T or I generally is the most sensitive determinant of acute coronary syndrome, although the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase also is used. Early markers of acute ischemia include myoglobin and creatine kinase-MB subforms (or isoforms), when available. In the future, advanced diagnostic modalities, such as myocardial perfusion imaging, may have a role in reducing unnecessary hospitalizations.
Kawasaki Disease: Summary of the American Heart Association Guidelines - Article
ABSTRACT: Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis of childhood that predominantly affects the coronary arteries. The etiology of Kawasaki disease remains unknown, although an infectious agent is strongly suspected based on clinical and epidemiologic features. A genetic predisposition is also likely, based on varying incidences among ethnic groups, with higher rates in Asians. Symptoms include fever, conjunctival injection, erythema of the lips and oral mucosa, rash, and cervical lymphadenopathy. Some children with Kawasaki disease develop coronary artery aneurysms or ectasia, ischemic heart disease, and sudden death. Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease among children in developed countries. This article provides a summary of the diagnostic and treatment guidelines published by the American Heart Association.
Managing Hypertension Using Combination Therapy - Article
ABSTRACT: Combination therapy of hypertension with separate agents or a fixed-dose combination pill offers the potential to lower blood pressure more quickly, obtain target blood pressure, and decrease adverse effects. Antihypertensive agents from different classes may offset adverse reactions from each other, such as a diuretic decreasing edema occurring secondary to treatment with a calcium channel blocker. Most patients with hypertension require more than a single antihypertensive agent, particularly if they have comorbid conditions. Although the Joint National Committee guidelines recommend diuretic therapy as the initial pharmacologic agent for most patients with hypertension, the presence of "compelling indications" may prompt treatment with antihypertensive agents that demonstrate a particular benefit in primary or secondary prevention. Specific recommendations include treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, diuretics, beta blockers, or aldosterone antagonists for hypertensive patients with heart failure. For hypertensive patients with diabetes, recommended treatment includes diuretics, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and/or calcium channel blockers. Recommended treatment for hypertensive patients with increased risk of coronary disease includes a diuretic, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and/or calcium channel blocker. The Joint National Committee guidelines recommend beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and aldosterone antagonists for hypertensive patients who are postmyocardial infarction; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease; and diuretic and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors for recurrent stroke prevention in patients with hypertension.
ACC/AHA Guideline Update for the Management of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction - Article
ABSTRACT: The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association, in collaboration with the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, have issued an update of the 2004 guideline for the management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The American Academy of Family Physicians endorses and accepts this guideline as its policy. Early recognition and prompt initiation of reperfusion therapy remains the cornerstone of management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Aspirin should be given to symptomatic patients. Beta blockers should be used cautiously in the acute setting because they may increase the risk of cardiogenic shock and death. The combination of clopidogrel and aspirin is indicated in patients who have had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. A stepped care approach to analgesia for musculoskeletal pain in patients with coronary heart disease is provided. Cyclooxygenase inhibitors and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increase mortality risk and should be avoided. Primary prevention is important to reduce the burden of heart disease. Secondary prevention interventions are critically important to prevent recurrent events in patients who survive.
Management of Common Arrhythmias: Part II. Ventricular Arrhythmias and Arrhythmias in Special Populations - Article
ABSTRACT: In patients without established cardiac disease, the occurrence of premature ventricular complexes without sustained ventricular tachycardia is more an annoyance than a medical risk, and treatment is not required. In contrast, patients with established heart disease and premature ventricular complexes have a higher likelihood of developing ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. These patients should be treated with a beta blocker or class I antiarrhythmic drug. Treatment of arrhythmias in pregnant women is rarely needed. When treatment is required, amiodarone should be avoided, and beta blockers should be used with caution, because these agents have been associated with fetal growth retardation. The most important rhythm abnormality in athletes is ventricular tachycardia associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. If the presence of the disease is confirmed by echocardiography, beta-blocker therapy is necessary, and these patients should be limited to participation in nonstrenuous sports. Acute arrhythmias in children with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can be treated with adenosine. Radiofrequency ablation of the accessory pathway can provide long-term control.
Unstable Angina and Non-ST- Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Part I. Initial Evaluation and Management, and Hospital Care - Article
ABSTRACT: Each year, more than 1 million patients are admitted to U.S. hospitals because of unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI). To help standardize the assessment and treatment of these patients, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association convened a task force to formulate a management guideline. This guideline, which was published in 2000 and updated in 2002, highlights recent medical advances and is a practical tool to help physicians provide medical care for patients with UA/NSTEMI. Management of suspected UA/NSTEMI has four components: initial evaluation and management; hospital care; coronary revascularization; and hospital discharge and post-hospital care. Part I of this two-part article discusses the first two components of management. During the initial evaluation, the history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and cardiac biomarkers are used to determine the likelihood that the patient has UA/NSTEMI and to aid in risk assessment when the diagnosis is established. Hospital care consists of appropriate initial triage and monitoring. Medical treatment includes anti-ischemic therapy (oxygen, nitroglycerin, beta blocker), antiplatelet therapy (aspirin, clopidogrel, platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor), and antithrombotic therapy (heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin).
Heparins for Unstable Angina and Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction - Cochrane for Clinicians
Unstable Angina and Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Part II. Coronary Revascularization, Hospital Discharge, and Post-Hospital Care - Article
ABSTRACT: In the guideline developed by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, the management of suspected unstable angina and non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI) has four components: initial evaluation and management; hospital care; coronary revascularization; and hospital discharge and post-hospital care. Part II of this two-part article discusses coronary revascularization, hospital discharge, and post-hospital care. Decisions must be made about the use of coronary angiography and coronary revascularization in patients hospitalized with UA/NSTEMI. With an early conservative strategy, medical management is employed. Coronary angiography and revascularization are reserved for use in patients with evidence of ischemia at rest (or with minimal activity) and patients with a strongly positive stress test. With an early invasive strategy, coronary angiography and revascularization are recommended within 48 hours in patients without contraindications. Hospital discharge planning involves coordination of medical care, preparation of the patient for resumption of normal activities, and evaluation of the need for long-term risk factor reduction. Discharge medications should be continued to control ongoing symptoms (anti-ischemic agents) and prevent recurrent events (aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blocker, and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or statins in selected patients).

Wadley getting more comfortable as Helias wrestling coach
Thursday, June 6, 2013
It's been less than a month since Jacob Wadley took over as head wrestling coach at Helias.
So it's understandable if he is still working out some of the kinks that come with the position.
"I'm feeling like the weight is slowly starting to fall off my shoulders," Wadley said prior to Wednesday's session of the Helias Kids Camp at Rackers Fieldhouse. "I'm getting comfortable with the position.
"When I first started, things were a little overwhelming. But I've been able to lay out a path, see what needs to be done today, see what needs to be done tomorrow, and then just concentrate on today."
There wasn't a lot of time for Wadley to get the camp, which has 27 participants in grades 3-8, up and going.
"It's a good turnout, all things considered," he said.
Wadley said the goal of the camp is to teach the basics of wrestling.
"I want them to get used to certain positions," he said. "Even if they don't know all of the moves yet, I want them aware of positions they're in and down the road that will work in their favor.
"It's a basic starting point that we can build off of in things like kids club and in high school. I just want to get them comfortable with the sport and maybe build some friendships."
And one more thing.
"It's been a lot of fun," Wadley said. "Every day, we make sure the kids have fun and have them leave with a big smile on their faces."
The four-day camp is scheduled to conclude today.
On the high-school front, Wadley has met with the team a couple of times since taking over as head coach.
Starting next week, Wadley will be taking a group of Crusaders to St. Louis for the "Wednesday Night Wrestling League," hosted by Maryville University.
Wadley said the high-school camp will be held in August.

According to a four-year study conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) one-third of the bottled water tested contained levels of contamination which exceeds allowable limits under either state or bottled water industry standards or guidelines.
The production and consumption of bottled water continues to increase globally, with the United States of America being the leading consumer. This increase is due in large part to successful marketing campaigns which promote the concept that bottled water is safer and healthier than tap water. This is not necessarily true. According to a four-year study conducted by NRDC, one-third of the bottled water tested contained levels of contamination. A key NRDC finding is that bottled water regulations are inadequate to assure consumers of either purity or safety. In fact, city tap water is subjected to more rigorous testing and purity standards than bottled water.
"American consumption (in 2006) required more than 17 million barrels of oil." In addition to the misconception about health benefits, there are other, more serious, problems associated with the production and consumption of bottled water. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, Americans bought a total of 31.2 billion liters of water in 2006. The Pacific Institute estimates that producing the bottles for American consumption required more than 17 million barrels of oil, not including the energy for transportation. Bottling the water produced more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide. It took 3 liters of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water. Once the bottled water is produced and consumed, the plastic bottle must be disposed of, which results in even more issues for our environment. The Container Recycling Institute reports that 86 percent of plastic water bottles used in the United States become garbage or litter. Incinerating the used bottles produces toxic byproductsand buried water bottles can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade. For those who think recycling is the answer, almost 40 percent of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles that were deposited for recycling in the United States in 2004 were actually exported, sometimes to as far away as China, thus adding to the resources used by this product.
The impact of the production and consumption of bottled water on our resources and environment cannot be denied or ignored. To address this issue, the District is prohibiting the purchase of bottled water with district funds. By doing so it will be promoting the consumption of tap water, setting an environmental example, and reaffirming its commitment to providing a healthy, safe, reliable supply of water.

I entered a few of my stories at the Frederick News-Post into the Maryland Delaware D.C. Press Association's 2014 editorial contest. Here are my winning entries:
Division B (dailies from 20,000 to 75,000), Investigative Reporting
First place: Fort Detrick's $10 million fire
A welder's torch may have sparked a fire that caused $10 million in damage at the world's largest high-security research lab, still under construction at Fort Detrick, according to a report prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Division B, Feature Story: Profile
First place and Best In Show: 300 letters home
The newly-trained pilot was full of nervous excitement, flying his Navy dive bomber at the head of a formation. He peeled off from the group to land on the aircraft carrier below, but he was coming in too slowly.
Division B, Medical/Science Reporting
First place: Scientists: Ebola outbreak larger than estimates
Scientists from Fort Detrick say the number of Ebola cases in West Africa is much larger than official estimates indicate.
Division B, Environmental Reporting
Second place: In Frederick parks, a battle for conservation
Environmental stewards on the front lines of the battle against global warming's adverse effects have a message for Frederick County: This is a time for action.
This month, we published a four-part series I'd been pulling together for the latter half of 2014. It's about the biological toxins and agents that researchers at Fort Detrick deal with every day, and what happens when human error inevitably interferes.
The series is based on documents generally referred to as "mishap" reports within the agencies, though these mishaps can expose researchers to deadly substances. In some cases, multiple people were potentially exposed to a substance because of one person's mistake.
None of the federal labs involved were willing to let us take photographs in their buildings for this series, but we've been able to put some of the original documents online. You can read the series here:
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has generated plenty of news for us, despite the fact that we're half a world away. My stories so far on the intersection of the Ebola virus, the Frederick area and Fort Detrick researchers:

Dallas Ebola patient flies to Frederick; 'resting comfortably'
As part of our coverage of the Great Frederick Fair, I reported on food vendor inspections from the event last year. The Frederick County Health Department provided over 100 separate inspection reports that detailed food safety violations from neglecting to display a permit to leaving food out in the heat for hours.
A few of the reports are available online, in PDF form.
Great Frederick Fair vendors rack up hundreds of food safety violations
More than 80 percent of the food vendors at last year's Great Frederick Fair used unsafe food practices, according to inspections by the Frederick County Health Department.
One of my recent features looks at how the environmental stewards in our nation's parks are dealing with the reality of climate change.
The program mentioned in the story, the National Park Service's Climate Friendly Parks Program, was inspired by loss:
When Glacier National Park was established in 1910, one of its most famous glaciers, Grinnell, covered more than 500 acres on the eastern slope of the Continental Divide. Today it covers barely 200 acres.
Just like the researchers, park rangers and visitors at Glacier have seen that change, those who visit and work in nearby national parks are watching their environment transform.
A battle for conservation
Environmental stewards on the front lines of the battle against global warming's adverse effects have a message for Frederick County: This is a time for action.
A few of the stories I wrote for the Gazette in Montgomery County won awards today! Here were my entries and the commendations they receieved from the MDDC Press Association:
First Place, Continuing Coverage
"Aunt Hattie's Place"
Aunt Hattie's Place struggles with prospect of closure
At Aunt Hattie's Place, a group home in Sandy Spring, the beds are empty. There are no more sneakers tucked under beds or clothes folded into drawers. The house, which once housed eight disadvantaged boys, is empty; with no money, the child care program has been suspended.
Critics fear state push to get children out of group homes
As Maryland works to move a record number of disadvantaged children out of group homes, local advocates say the initiative is going too far.
Founder of Aunt Hattie's Place losing group home — and her own
A single candle burns in each window of Hattie Washington's empty Sandy Spring house.
"It says I still have faith … that somebody will save us," she said.
Second Place, Environmental Reporting
"Forest Glen Annex"
Army finds contaminants, not source, at Forest Glen Annex
Contaminants at the Forest Glen Annex in Silver Spring continue to spread from an unknown source, according to new U.S. Army data released Thursday.
Residents reject Army fence for Silver Spring trail
Community members had a strong message for the authorities at the Forest Glen Annex: Don't fence off our trail.
These Gazette stories competed with other Division D newspapers, non-dailies in Washington, D.C., Delaware and Maryland, for these awards.
My current employer, the Frederick News-Post, also won Newspaper of the Year in its division.
Thanks to MDDC for recognizing me and so many of my colleagues in this year's awards!
Over the past two months, I've written lots of feature stories about people, places and things that are important to the Frederick County community. Some of my favorites:
As of March 10, I've started a new job as the Fort Detrick and environmental beat reporter for the Frederick News-Post, a daily paper in Frederick County, Maryland. My very first byline came in Sunday's issue, on a story about a fire at Fort Detrick and the Army Corps report that gave us the details. It's been one of the most popular stories on our website since it first went up Sunday morning.
Fort Detrick's $10 million fire
Report: Welder may have sparked blaze at premier research lab under construction
The story was also featured on Investigative Reporters and Editors' Extra Extra blog, which showcases investigative and watchdog reporting from around the country.
I'm also working on putting together a new website for myself, at sylviacarignan.com. It's the online equivalent of a business card right now, but I'm hoping to make my clips more accessible there as well. As soon as I can figure out how to code that.
Last week, President Obama signed the infamous five-year farm bill into law. I broke down this federal legislation into three stories about how it would affect local dairy farmers, Maryland politics and food stamp recipients.
Montgomery farmers keep watchful eye on farm bill
Some much-needed aid could come to Montgomery County's shrinking dairy industry
Montgomery representatives split on farm bill
Rep. Van Hollen and Rep. Delaney vote opposite ways on controversial legislation
Food stamp recipients breathe sigh of relief
Farm bill does not make anticipated cuts to SNAP
Several of the stories I wrote about Gaithersburg last week made it to the Gazette's top 10 most-read stories list. Here's what our web audience is reading:
New Kentlands restaurant opens in 'cursed' space
Local residents told the new owner the space was "cursed," he said, but he's hoping the overhaul will make it a popular spot.
Developers sketch new $50 million arena for Montgomery County
The developer envisions a space where indoor lacrosse championships could take place simultaneously with antique roadshows. A Taylor Swift concert could dominate the space one night, he said, and a Disney show could take center stage the next night.
Real estate developer buys Montgomery Village golf course
Monument Realty will keep the course open, but has long-term plans to transform the 147-acre space. Longtime Montgomery Village golf course owner Jack Doser has decided he will retire.
Gaithersburg city manager reviewing employee contracts
Since each department's director serves the mayor and council at will, he or she "may be terminated with or without cause" and notice may not be given, according to their contracts.

Sexiest in a suitFri, 07 Sep 2012 2:21 PM
David Beckham has been hailed as the man that looks the greatest in a suit, a study found. Despite now being in his late thirties, the father of four beat a host of other tailored gents to the accolade.
Runner-up in the poll was Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney, followed by Bond actor Daniel Craig.
In fourth and fifth place were Take That frontman Gary Barlow and Hugh Grant respectively.
"A good suit can transform a man," said a spokesman for Austin Reed, the UK company that conducted the survey.
"Undoubtedly David Beckham is one of the most stylish men to grace the planet. His allure is that he can pull off the casual scruffy look but transforms himself in to a dashing gent when he dons a sharp suit.
"Equally George Clooney looks effortlessly debonair on the red carpet when he sports a tailored suit.
"Most men need to wear at suit at some point in their lives and it's important to choose wisely."
The survey of 2000 found that found that Formula 1 driver Jenson Button made it in sixth place as the best dressed suit wearer, closely followed by Princes Harry and William.
Button's team mate Lewis Hamilton was in ninth place followed by lovelorn Twilight actor Robert Pattinson.
Despite being known for his high waistbands Simon Cowell completed the poll in 20th place as the celebrity who looks best in a suit.
The man who looks worst in a suit was voted as Jeremy Clarkson, followed by Russell Brand.

East Haddam - If one is predisposed to seek out myriad halls and deck them with boughs of holly - or any other spangly holiday accouterments - one could do worse than select Gillette Castle.
The 24-room structure, perched stunningly on a hill over the Connecticut River, was originally the property of actor William Gillette, who charmingly designed his home to best resemble the sort of manor associated with charging peasants brandishing pitchforks and torches.
At this time of year, any assaults by the citizenry are of a decided holiday nature. Indeed, the castle, which is now the centerpiece of a 204-acre state park, is festooned with Christmas finery, a tradition dating back almost three decades. Each principal room of the three-story home has a yule flavor that is at once distinct but tied to an overall motif of simple elegance.
"Decorating the castle is something that goes back to when I was in elementary school in the mid-'80s," said Bill Mattioli, the supervisor who oversees Gillette State Park. "The idea is that it looks nice and festive without being gaudy."
In fact, the lack of pyrotechnic effects, booming-voiced animatronic Santas, sheepish park department volunteers in elf suits, holographic flying angels and/or reindeers, and live carol singing by local boy bands is extremely refreshing.
Yes, the vast main hall of the castle is dominated by a towering Christmas tree that could just as easily have been delivered to the White House. But its understated lights and ornaments, and a small but mighty train circling the wrapped gifts at the foot of the tree, are in stylistic synch with white and red poinsettas, green wreathes, and a riverine flow of intertwined boughs around the perimeter of the room - all watched over by members of the very Wooden Soldier brigade renowned for their "Nutcracker" skirmishes.
Just off the main hall are, respectively, the Wishing Well Room and the dining area, both of which echo the main theme and establish a secondary idea: the Lionel train sets, with their respective snow villages, are a big part of this year's decor.
While the Gillette staff has amassed a supply of holiday accouterments that serve as the basis for each year's decor, the idea is, at the same time, to do something unique each season.
"We like to change it a little bit. It's hard to do a lot because there are so many rooms and it gets expensive," Mattioli said. "We're very lucky that a lot of people donate decorations from their own collections. This year, we noticed a lot of people graciously donated trains, so we incorporated that."
This is particularly appropriate because Gillette was known for his fondness of the railroad and had his own, full-size 3.2-mile track built on the grounds back in the 1920s - complete with functioning steam and electric trains.
"We can't say for sure that he particularly liked the holidays," said Matthew Sanders, a castle guide working his second Gillette holiday stint after years of summer employment. "But he liked people and trains and it's fun to think he'd enjoy the way the castle's decorated this year."
In addition to multiple electric train sets, Gillette's first-floor study features multiple cat ornaments on its tree - in honor of the photo of the actor and his beloved cat, Sir Henry.
Another room, a bit of a nautical shrine to Gillette's houseboat, The Aunt Polly, has wreaths dimpled with seashells. And "The Blue Bedroom" guest quarters was populated with stuffed animals in winter- and snowman outfits, along with a fenceline of large candy canes.
When the visitor reaches the third floor, Gillette's bipartite library and art gallery have been transformed into a sylvan glade of holiday trees - and, yes, the castle's largest train set burbles merrily along the main floor space.
"It's early in the season, but people seem to like it so far," Mattioli said. "I definitely don't have a decorative eye, but we have a lot of full-time and seasonal employees who are good at this stuff. Taste is obviously up to the individual, but our philosophy is that, if more than one of us say something doesn't work, we get rid of it. It seems to work out."
Gillette Castle
Open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Dec.16.
Tickets are $6 for those 13 and older and $2 for children ages 6-12. Admission is free for children 5 and younger.

Man should open closet all the way
Dear Abby: My oldest son came out to me as a gay man in a private conversation. I have no problem with him being gay; however, I DO have a problem with the fact that he has asked me not to tell anyone. He isn't ready to come out to anyone else. I tried to advise him that until he is true to himself, he won't be happy. My son says if he comes out to anyone else, it would "hurt so many people."

The episode begins with two delivery guys carelessly driving their truck forward. Meanwhile, a well groomed woman is leaving a building. She is busy putting on her lipstick. Meanwhile, two skateboarders are performing tricks on the sidewalk. Suddenly a man on the road points to one of the delivery guys to look under their truck. One of the guys gets down checking. He touches the thing stuck under the truck and his hand is smeared with blood. Meanwhile, the woman doing makeup goes to a newspaper stand were you put in a coin and remove a paper. She pays, opens the door, and beings to shriek frantically. Elsewhere, the skateboarders trip on some liquid near a bench.
As they check it out, they see blood dripping from human body parts kept covered on the bench. The three different places have three different parts of the body cut up and placed. Meanwhile, Don and Lindsay check out the one on the bench, which has the lower half of a man's body lying on it. Meanwhile, the other guys from CSI recover the other body parts of the victim from various locations. They haven't found all the body parts yet. Meanwhile, Jo and Mac also are informed about the victim being found in pieces. Meanwhile, the forensics team puts together the body. Based on the evidence at hand Sid makes the assessment as to the age and other characteristics of the victim. He doesn't yet have the COD, but the body parts were sawed off post mortem. The missing piece that is now left is the head of the victim. They find out who the victim is.
It's a 55 year old man Michael Byrne. The man it turns out was arrested once in 1973 for misdemeanor assault. He had beaten up a mechanic who was hassling his father for a late payment. It is also confirmed that Byrne is clean and use to run a bodega. Meanwhile, Jo figures out that the torso of the victim was moved from its original dump site. They need to know where the torso was placed originally. Meanwhile at the bodega, Byrne's daughter is informed about the mishap. She tells Don that her father had no enemies and was a good man. Meanwhile, certain other clues are gathered by the CSI at the bodega. In fact, pieces of lint are found stuck to various parts of the bodega. The victim was possibly killed and then dragged, leaving a trail of the lint from the victim's sweater.
In the basement is found a cigarette butt, with traces of blood. Also found is a mop, with traces of blood in it. It was the basement of the bodega, where the victim was chopped up. It is baffling as to why the victim would clean up a crime scene, but make the crime public. Mac believes the washing up of the crime scene was done by the perp, as means of concealing himself and not the murder. They still can't figure out why the perp didn't want the head to be found. It is also found out that the there is cuttlefish ink residue on the victim's body part found in the garbage. Cuttlefish it turns out is only served in one restaurant in the garbage van's delivery route, and that too once a week. They pinpoint the locations where the body parts were found, on a map. It turns out each of the parts were found in the corners of every street.
Mac tells Jo that the four corners are the corners of Hell's Kitchen. The killer has marked his territory. Mac then finds the victim's head under a car. The COD it is found out is a gunshot wound to the head. The victim was shot from behind. Sid then shows Mac that the perp has left his actual signature on the face of the victim. Meanwhile, Jo tells Mac that there were fingerprints found on a piece of furniture in the basement of the bodega. There was piece of plaster found there which had blood, not from the victim. There was also a small piece of currency note found. So plaster, money and blood are the three things that have come in contact with the saw, before it was used to cut up the victim. The signature in the meanwhile, matches ten names from the NYC database. One guy from the list has several complaints launched against him for harassment.
It turns out the guy Coleman is buying property around the area by intimidating the property owners. Byrne probably didn't want to sell, making him an enemy. Don pays Coleman a visit. Coleman admits to eyeing Byrne's property, but admits Byrne won't sell. He is then told about Byrne's death, and asked how his signature ended up on a dead guy. Coleman recounts how he paid Byrne a visit, to persuade him to once again sell. Byrne turned him down once again. He then signed a check and slapped it onto Byrne's face. He says that is how the signature got there. Meanwhile, Mac fixes up a date for the night. Later, Mac and team are informed that the ballistics report for the present case matches with multiple hits that took place from the 1971-78. The gun had been quite ever since, till recently it did its job again.
The gun after so long could have been possibly used by anyone, it seems. Mac feels somebody is out to make a statement, and Byrne is just the beginning. Meanwhile, just as Don is walking down the road, there is a huge blast in a nearby van. Don is thrown to the ground, but safe. The same unfortunately can't be said about the driver of the van. The driver it seems was into full time racketeering for the Russian mob. This time it was cigarettes he was delivering. Mac feels this incident might be connected to Byrne. Later, forensics works their magic on the van, and fish out clues. A finger print is found in its bottom, which matches a finger print on their database. The photograph of the guy Kieran whose fingerprint it is; is recognized by Danny.
It's a guy who he had seen outside the bodega the day after the murder. He was one of the guys chirping, saying how he would get to the killer before the CSI team did. Later Don and Danny pay the guy's boss a visit searching for him. He isn't there but they question the owner of the bar where is works. The owner claims he knows nothing. Meanwhile, Mac cancels his date with Christine, as he has work. Meanwhile, it turns out the van driver was delivering counterfeit cigarettes; a very lucrative business. The cigarette butt found in the basement was also a counterfeit, but not the same make. Meanwhile, Kieran is brought in for questioning. They tell him, they have found his print on the van, so there is no escaping guilt in this crime.
Kieran admits to the bombing. He tells them he did it alone, and no one helped him. He then describes how he did it. It was vengeance for the van driver killing Byrne. He was told by people he trusts that the van driver Zorloff, is the one who had surely killed Byrne. Meanwhile, it's discovered that Zorloff didn't kill Byrne. He was in custody when Byrne was killed. It turns out that the gun used for the crime was owned by Declan Callaghan Senior, who is the father of the Junior Callaghan, who owns the bar that Kieran works in. The senior Callaghan died in prison, so his son must have inherited the gun. It is also discovered that Declan Junior threatened one of his ex-employees with a circular saw, and was hauled up by the cops.
He had seen the employee stash money into a cast in his hand, from the bar. The saw was used by Declan to cut through the cast. The pieces of the plaster were stuck to his very saw, and found in the basement by Danny later. Later Mac and Don question Kieran about the incident. They hand him the option of concealing a wire, so he can relay the truth first hand to the CSI team. Later, Kieran meets up with Declan at the bar. Declan isn't too convinced about the cops letting Kieran off so lightly. Kieran suddenly threatens Declan with a knife to get the truth out of him. Don and Mac run in and see Declan shooting at Kieran. Later Declan is brought in, and tells Don and Mac that shooting Kieran was self defense.
Declan admits to killing Byrne, he wanted Byrne to be on his side, as people listened to him. But Byrne wasn't interested in entertaining Declan. Declan then describes how he shot Byrne and dragged him to the basement, and then did all that he did. Later, Don pays Byrne's daughter a visit to make sure she is doing ok. Meanwhile, Mac pays a visit to his lady love, now that he has found time at last; the two, cook dinner together. The episode ends.

RE: static multicast routes in sparse mode posted 07/14/2007
That's a very good question. I've seen both type of solutions for the same type of questions. Here i would check with the proctor. -----Original Message----- From: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ben Sent: sabado, 14 de Julho de 2007 16:44 To: ccie forum Subject: static multicast routes in sparse mode I can think of two situations for static mroutes. 1. You have a tunnel, and need your multicast traffic to use it 2. The IGP routes do not follow the same path as your multicast topology. For dense mode, all mutlicast traffic is from source to receivers. the static mroute is therefore pretty straightforward ip mroute source-net mask tu1 For sparse mode, you need a static mroute for both the source, and RP. I typically use the following to cover traffic to both source and RP: ip mroute 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tu1 In the lab, do they expect more precise mroutes (example below)? ip mroute source-net mask tu1 ip mroute RP-net mask tu1 Would appreciate your comments Ben _______________________________________________________________________ Subscription information may be found at: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/CCIELab.html

The Legacy of Farrah Fawcett
By: Shawna S. Ruppert |
Farrah Fawcett was definitely a force to be reckoned with when she hit the scene in 1976 in the famous television show, Charlie's Angels. She was lean and shapely with a mass of blond waves that bounced behind her. She was the sexy poster girl in the wet red swimsuit that teenage boys proudly plastered to their bedroom walls. She was the lovely older woman who proudly painted in the nude for Playboy Magazine. She was a woman who embraced her femininity, who stood up for herself and for other women, and she was a woman that believed that there was always hope.

Last month the Cedar Grove police department arrested 82-yeard old retired pastor James Raines on charges of battery against a law enforcement officer.
Tuesday he received some very good news.
Raines was arrested at his home church, Hiland Park United Methodist Church in Early November. He was aiding a homeless man when a Cedar Grove police officer charged in.
He allegedly threw Rev. Raines to the ground and arrested him. Raines spent nearly 24 hours in the Bay County jail.
Tuesday State Attorney Steve Meadows decided to drop all charges against Raines.
Now that Raines has been cleared of criminal charges, he and his attorney are considering further legal action.

Review: Scale the Summit – The Migration
Paige Camisasca | Jun 11, 2013 | Comments 0 | Tags: Scale the Summit
The fourth full-length album from Houston instrumental-metal quartet Scale the Summit, The Migration finds the band continuing to develop a tasteful blend of atmosphere, groovy rhythms, and unabashed shredding. Standout tracks "Atlas Novus", "Oracle," and "The Dark Horse" combine the kind of beautiful melodies that evoke the band's nature-oriented imagery with riffs heavy (and groovy) enough to get even Meshuggah diehards on board. Nevertheless, The Migration seems to wander a bit more than 2011's focused and phenomenal The Collective, losing some steam by the last few tracks. But the album's best moments are still very memorable and prog fans should definitely pick it up. DAVID McKENNA

Reviews for Company of Heroes 2: Case Blue DLC
Enjoyable but still comes up a bit shorttaigatsu | July 17, 2014 | See all taigatsu's reviews »
The little orphan brother of the CoH2 mission packs. The base game has nothing in the way of campaign missions for the Wehrmacht faction, which was a disappointing omission. At least the Case Blue DLC does its best to make amends for that, even if it could afford to have a bit more to offer. It's a pretty light in the content department, with only 5 missions to choose from, which isn't really a lot. You get a little bit of everything, at least, from challenge maps to new skirmish missions. The two challenge maps in particular are fun, if not particularly inspired. Fans of the game who are looking to expand the scope of the campaign should be sure to pick this up, but be aware that it doesn't bring particularly much new to the table.
Relive the winter offensivesaojoao | Sept. 27, 2013 | See all saojoao's reviews »
Fall Blau or Case Blue was the code name of German offensive on oil-rich Caucasus area. This expansion for Company of Heroes 2 adds a selection of scenarios based on battles of this offensive. Some of them are co-operative, like the Voronezh battle, some are intended for solo play, like the 'Tiger Ace' scenario taking place near Volga, and another one from the Stalingrad area - 'Destroy a Convoy'. Then there are two AI battles as well, expanding the replayability of this expansion. I think for a WW2 strategy gamer this expansion is a must-have, especially if they're interested in the Eastern theatre, but I doubt it could be any different now after playing the excellent Company of Heroes 2 game.

When the White House wants to deliver a political message, there is often a stop in Northeast Ohio.
CLEVELAND -- When the White House wants to deliver a political message, there is often a stop in Northeast Ohio.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are crisscrossing the country, proclaiming the country needs to invest billions of dollars in repaving old highways and fixing ramshackle bridges.
On Wednesday, Vice President Biden brought an expanded version of that message to an RTA rapid car repair shop.
He said the U.S. must invest in its declining infrastructure to remain an economic power.
But he spoke on behalf of doing more than upgrading roads and bridges.
He touted the benefits of a federal grant program that's funding RTA's new rapid station in Little Italy.
That program, Tiger Grants, could face stiff opposition from Republicans.
"Those in Congress who lack vision say we can't afford to make these investments. How can we not afford to make these investments? " he asked.
He said the U.S. ranks 28th in the world in the amount it spends on its infrastructure and 18th in the world for the condition of its roads and highway.
Republican National Chairman Michael Short said the Obama administration should stop impeding the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline which "has bi-partisan support and would create good-paying Ohio jobs."
Democratic Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur acknowledged a new infrastructure package could include discussion of some kind of calibrated increase in the gasoline tax. It's one tax which has remained the same since the mid-1990's.
She spoke of Republican opponents to Tiger Grant projects as "living in the last century. We have a multi-modal society. We have to meet the rest of the world," she said.
Public transportation advocates argue too little is spent on mass transit.
Biden talked of the Rapid Station project as an economic boost,
"It matters in the neighborhood. It changes the way people think about where they live. It makes businesses want to stay...Nearly $4 of private money is being spent for every federal dollar put up. That's what's happening here," he said.
Some Ohio cities are hoping a transportation funding package includes money for pothole repairs.
In his State of the City remarks, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said they need to be a federal priority.
After Biden's event, Jackson said potholes are "indicators of what the VIce President is saying" about the need for infrastructure spending.
The Highway Trust Fund will run out of money in late August or September.
After the event, Biden went to Presti's Bakery in Little Italy, according to the White House press release. He greeted the afternoon crowd in the cafe, working his way past the counter around the room to a corner table to meet with business and community leaders.
"If you're not supposed to be here, you're in trouble now," he told Dan Brennan, President of Little Italy Redevelopment Corporation, as cameras clicked around them.
Biden ordered tiramisu, cannoli and coffee before getting down to business -- the impact on the neighborhood of infrastructure investment including two rapid transit stations undergoing extensive renovation. "Tell me about what's going," he asked the four people at his table. "Economic growth -- is this new rail station having an impact on it?"
"This is huge," said Steve Standley, Chief Administrative Officer of University Hospitals. He said investment in the Little Italy-University Circle neighborhood, spearheaded by UH, the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University, had led to new housing, retail and commercial development in the area.
In his visits to other parts of the country, he said, "They're talking about the Cleveland model now."

February 16, 2012
The Moscow Times examines a potential shift in Russia's public health priorities as programs funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria begin to phase out. "While the Global Fund's eight-year presence in Russia was long expected to end, officials with regional non-governmental organizations (NGOs) largely dependent on the group's financing say the country is now turning its back on widely accepted harm-reduction strategies and will let independent HIV-prevention groups wither and die," the newspaper writes.
"In the wake of the Global Fund's exit, the Russian government assumed full responsibility for funding the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and has pledged more money than ever accordingly," but "[p]rograms such as handing out condoms to sex workers, needle exchanges and methadone treatments that are internationally seen as successful methods to prevent the spread of HIV have been frowned upon or outright banned in Russia, where health officials argue they fuel drug-taking and other risky behavior that breeds higher infection rates," according to the newspaper. "Health experts and NGOs agree that a change in strategy is needed if Russia is to come up with an effective response to its HIV epidemic," the newspaper writes (Winning, 2/15).

Flatulence (Gas) (cont.)
Breakdown of Undigested Foods
If the body does not digest and absorb some carbohydrates (for example, the sugar, starches, and fiber found in many foods) in the small intestine because of a shortage or absence of certain enzymes there, this undigested food then passes from the small intestine into the large intestine, where normal, harmless bacteria break down the food, producing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and, in about a third of all people, methane. Eventually these gases exit through the rectum.
Other causes of intestinal gas
Certain conditions can result in other foods being poorly absorbed in the GI tract, allowing for increased bacterial activity.

Or just get the PC but I like the fact of something being more efficent and cooler?
Thanks again great forum !!!!
What do you need high wattage for if you are going to just have a FOWLR tank? I have high watt count because i keep a reef. If you have a FOWLR you have no need for good lights. I would go with just something like 2 T5 bulbs, or Some other PC lights. I don't recommend getting anything expensive because it'll be just a waste of money for you... unless you do plan on getting corals down the road.

text: The President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has told a political rally in the town of Marondera that the African Union has notified him that it will convene a summit on Zimbabwe this coming Friday, after it received a petition from the Movement for Democratic Change seeking the delay of the general elections scheduled for 31st this month. He said the polls will go on as planned whatever the outcome of the African Union summit. The Movement for Democratic Change says the elections cannot be held before the reforms stated in the new constitution are in place. These include the updating of the voters' register, invitation of election observers, appointment and training of Election officials and the redrawing of the constituencies. The party petitioned the Southern African Development Community last month to put pressure on Mugabe to delay the elections which it did but the country's constitutional court ruled this month that the polls should be held as scheduled. Meanwhile, the African Union has announced that it will be sending an observer team of sixty people lead by former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, to monitor the elections in Zimbabwe.

The Tigers were in complete control with junior starting pitcher Daniel Gossett on the mound, but a sixth inning pitching change saw two Tiger pitchers and four runs scored by the Eagles as Eastern Michigan took down Clemson 6-5.
Clemson head coach Jack Leggett said that despite the sixth inning pitching woes, his team played pretty well for their first outing of the season.
"We let the game slide away from us in the sixth inning," Leggett said after Friday's game. "We actually played pretty well – played good defense, pitched pretty well – except for one inning. We just didn't get it done in the sixth inning and we allowed them to get back in the game and get some confidence, take the lead. We did a nice job battling back. Dunster did a nice job getting a hit for us and we built a couple of innings. We just didn't finish things off. It's a long season to go."
The Tigers opened up a 4-1 lead off the pitching of Gossett who threw 71 pitches, striking out four in five innings of work, but two-thirds of an inning in the sixth was the Tigers' undoing.
Despite being shut down after just five innings, Gossett said that he knew it would be short night, but that he felt good with his performance.
"I felt good, but obviously I still have some things to work out with it being so early in the season," Gossett said after the game. "I'm going to use the outing to build off of because I felt good and find some things to fine tune so that I can go back to work this week and get ready for next week.
"Obviously because I love to compete [I wanted to be out there], but I understand where Pep is coming from. It's the first game of the year and you don't want to hurt anybody and obviously we need to get the guys in the bullpen some work."
Redshirt junior Kevin Pohle who missed all of last season with a shoulder injury came into pitch for Gossett and gave up back-to-back singles and a fielder's choice to put runners on first and third. Adam Sonabend stepped to the plate and hit a rocket over Tyler Slaton's head in center field, for a 4-3 Clemson lead, and just like that Pohle's day was done.
Junior righty Kyle Schnell entered the game with Sonabend on second and one out. Sonabend stole third and tied the game at 4-4 on a groundout to third by Eagles' designated hitter Adam Dennison. Third baseman Ty Gilmore was hit by a pitch and scored the go-ahead run on a double to left by Nick Rotola, giving Eastern Michigan its first lead of the game at 5-4.
Facing a one-run deficit with one out in the bottom of the ninth, Leggett elected to bring in senior Mike Dunster to pinch hit for freshman Weston Wilson and Dunster made the most of his opportunity hitting his first career home run over right field wall and into the Cheap Seats to tie the game at 5-5.
After three walks, freshman Chris Okey – who became the first freshman in Clemson history to drive in two runs with a hit in the first inning of a season - stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and two out and popped out to shallow right field on a 3-1 count.
Clay Bates and Clate Schmidt combined to pitch shutout baseball over the final three-and-a-third innings before Schmidt gave up the final run in the top of the 10th inning when an error and a misplayed ball gave the Eagles the winning run.
Tyler Krieger registered the first hit of the 2014 baseball season with a double down the left field line in the bottom of the first. Okey started his Clemson career off with a single to center that scored both Krieger and Stephen Duggar, who reached base on a fielder's choice, giving Clemson a 2-0 lead.
Nick Rotola singled to right field to begin the third inning and stole second and scored on a hard hit ground ball by John Rubino to edge the Eagles closer at 2-1.
Tyler Slaton singled through the right side in the Tigers half of the third and advanced to second on a Krieger sacrifice bunt. Duggar, who was one-for four on the day, hit a line drive just past the out-stretched glove of the second baseman to score Slaton, for a 3-1 Clemson lead.
With one out in the bottom of the fifth, Krieger walked, stole second, advanced to third on a throw by Sonabend that sailed into centerfield and scored on a groundout by Boulware to give Clemson a 4-1 lead.
The Tigers host the Eagles in game two of the series tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. at Doug Kingsmore.

Just one more thing?
I always like to give the kids a good book, something special they can keep on their shelves for years.
For my son's first Christmas, he got the classic Twas the Night Before Christmas. Twelve years later, he's much pickier. I'm thinking about picking up another classic, maybe Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn.
My daughter is no problem. (Why are girls so much easier to shop for?) She's getting the modern classic The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls, from AmericanGirl Library ($9.95). This book comes highly recommended from other moms of pre-teens.
And since she just finished reading Alice In Wonderland and Through the Lookinglass, I think she'll appreciate the amazing pop-up version by Robert Sabuda, the master of the art form (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation, Little Simon, $26.99). Sabuda's pop-ups are not the kind you want to put in the hands of a drooly toddler. These are works of art with towering, intricately cut pop-ups. Sabuda's The 12 Days of Christmas Anniversary Edition: A Pop-up Celebration ($26.95) would entertain anyone.
Other worthy pop-ups for the grownups on your list: The Pop-Up Book of Celebrity Meltdowns (Melcher Media, (29.95), The Pop-up Book of Sex (Melcher Media, $29.95) and Graceland: An Interactive Pop-Up Tour (Chuck Murphy, $40.)

Hey everyone
I am interested in borrowing some clip-on areo bars for an upcoming triathlon on August 9th. In exchange for a six-pack of your choosing, of course. Alternately, if anyone is looking to get rid of some clip-on aero bars, I might be willing to buy locally.
Thank you!

I spent much of spring and summer 2014 in Spring Green, Wisconsin, following American Players Theatre's production of Much Ado About Nothing–researching what I hope will someday be a long immersion piece on the art and craft of theater. Meanwhile here's a little taste, a profile of David Frank, the artistic director, who is retiring this year after a stellar run. Many thanks to my friends at Isthmus, the alternative weekly in Madison, Wisconsin, and to all the APT people who have been so kind and generous with their time.
Jerry Harkness and I will be meeting and greeting and signing copies of Ramblers at two events connected with Loyola's Alumni Weekend for 2014. This Friday, June 27, we'll be at a reception for the classes of '63 and '64 and new alumni at the 63 Bar and Grill (formerly Hamilton's), located at 6341 N. Broadway. That will run from 6 to 8 PM. Then on Sunday, June 29, we'll be at the alumni brunch, which runs from 10-12 at the Mundelein Auditorium. Copies of Lew Freedman's new book Becoming Iron Men will also be available. Please come around, say hello, and buy a few dozen books!
CN100, the Comcast Network, has produced a new documentary for Black History Month, "1963 Loyola Ramblers," showing tonight at 7:00 and at various other times this month. Visit www.cn100.tv for upcoming show times. You can also find the program with Xfinity On Demand under "Sports Features" in the CN100 folder.
Recently I was interviewed by New York podcaster Brad Bogner, a sports fan, history buff, and avid reader. We had a good chat about the Ramblers and their place in civil rights history. It runs about 27 minutes.
Sunday Mississippi State beat Loyola Chicago in an overtime squeaker, 65-64. It was the Bulldogs' first win in a rivalry that spans 51 years. Loyola leads the series 2-1.
Last year the Ramblers won in Chicago, 59-51, in the first of two home-and-home games played to commemorate the last time the teams met, in the Mideast Regional of the 1963 NCAA tournament. Loyola won that game 61-51 and went on to win the national title.
In order to play that 1963 game, the all-white Bulldogs had to sneak out of Mississippi, defying a court order forbidding them to play against black opponents. It's an oft-told story, but a great one, and this may be the last excuse I'll get to trot it out. So here's a version I like, adapted from Ramblers, of course. more
Here are a couple of photos from Sunday's induction celebration at the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. (See previous post.) more
This Sunday, November 24, the 1963 Loyola Ramblers will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. They're the first team in history to go in as a group. more
