Sir John B. Gurdon
Born: 2 October 1933, Dippenhall, United Kingdom
Affiliation at the time of the award: Gurdon Institute, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Prize motivation: "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent"
Field: genetics
Prize share: 1/2
Our lives begin when a fertilized egg divides and forms new cells that, in turn, also divide. These cells are identical in the beginning, but become increasingly varied over time. As a result of this process, our cells become specialized for their location in the body - perhaps in a nerve, a muscle, or a kidney. It was long thought that a mature or specialized cell could not return to an immature state, but this has been proven incorrect.
In 1962, John Gurdon removed the nucleus of a fertilized egg cell from a frog and replaced it with the nucleus of a mature cell taken from a tadpole's intestine. This modified egg cell grew into a new frog, proving that the mature cell still contained the genetic information needed to form all types of cells. In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka succeeded in identifying a small number of genes within the genome of mice that proved decisive in this process. When activated, skin cells from mice could be reprogrammed to immature stem cells, which, in turn, can grow into all types of cells within the body. In the long-term, these discoveries may lead to new medical treatments.

On the eve of releasing What Happened to the LaLas, the tenth studio album from jam band champions moe. percussionist Jim Loughlin sat down with HIGH TIMES to discuss what it's like playing stoned during a gig, and gives a shout out to his favorite Dutch coffeeshop.
Interview by Jen Bernstein
Photos by Mike Hughes
Your roots are in improvisational music – and moe. is well known as a jam band. Do you like to go off on tangents?
It's weird because it's not a freeform situation and people think it is. There is a form in which we improvise. I don't look at it the same way as jazz. It's rock 'n' roll. There are sections that are free, but surrounded by form.
We write and play songs for a year [before recording them] and they tend to get long. Really long. Parts are repeated. It works for a live performance, but listening to it on a record can be like, 'Oh my god. I know what the next part is, so why don't they just get there already?' [laughs].
So that's what we did. We figured out how to keep the songs tight, but really make them flow.
LA LAs is a little different than past albums because for the first time you're working with Sugar Hill records.
It's the first time in a long time that we're working with a record company and producer. For me, it was great. In the studio you tend to over think things and when you have someone there with a goal, a direction, and an idea - it makes things a lot easier. When you're so close to the music, you don't have perspective. You take everything apart in these tiny pieces and just yell at one another.
So even though some songs on LA LAs are short, or they are songs that we already know because they've been road tested, there's a new type of freshness to it, given that they're tight?
Some parts have been tweaked, and it sounds great. Sonically the record came out really good - it's raw, but it's not this overproduced, affected thing. We just did a good job getting the best parts.
"Chromatic Nightmare" is your first writing credit. It has a very psychedelic feel, like a lilting circus type of sound.
I originally wrote the song as a rag. Xylophones were big in ragtime back in the day, and a lot of Scott Joplin's stuff was played on xylophones. The idea was everyone was going to write a song for the Halloween show, which the theme was "Electric Lemoe.nade Acid Test." So I was like, this has nothing to do with a rag and I made the song weirder and weirder until it morphed. Instead of it being in 4/4 it was in 3/4 and I kept adding lots of half steps to make it chromatic. So it had this weird "oom-pah" feel, and it got more Tim Burton-ish.
You nail the studio version despite what ended up being a challenging piece. Does smoking ever affect your performance?
It definitely comes up. We find a lot of professionals that don't have a hard time doing their job and smoking weed. As far as playing music, I don't think it makes much difference. I know I couldn't play "Chromatic" drunk. But, uh, I've been smoking for awhile and I'm used to it. It does slow things down on stage to the point where I can control it.
moe. played the Cannabis Cup back in 2007. What was it like playing those shows and hanging in the coffeeshops?
It was fun, and the funny thing is...and this isn't a plug or anything, but I spent all of my time at Barney's. No joke, I ate every meal there. It's where I had my morning coffee, and I wouldn't leave until I had to take a nap. Then, I'd go back and eat dinner. I had already been to Amsterdam, saw the tulips, the museums and everything. So this time I had no schedule. They had a crazy G-13 strain that was really nuts.
Can you remember any other strains you liked?
Honestly, the best way I can explain it is like this: I only know of two kinds of pot – pot and no pot. I'm happy when I have the first, and not as happy when I have the latter.
Y'know, a lot of people know that I smoke and some people give me stuff and there's always this explanation: the name, where it came from. I don't mean to rude, but I'm not a connoisseur. To me, I like how it tastes and I recognize the difference, but I never keep track of what I have. These days, it's all good! [laughs] and I haven't smoked brick weed in decades, so I'm happy.
You play piccolo bass, wash board, guitar and you sing "Farmer Ben," are we going to get any more songs sung by Jim?
I've always wanted to write a sequel. Just cause he's a real person, the story's not real, but the guy is. He's my best friend and I grew up with him. Ben spent the summers as a farmer on a restoration village circa the 1600's on LI - it's called Old Bethpage and he was a volunteer. He would wear a wool shirt, wool hat, wool overalls, in the hot sun - and a pitchfork - which I thought was hilarious. And this was high school I mean, what kid spends his summer sweating and working?! He's always done strange things - unique things. And now he's mapping old growth trees in Colorado. Doing good things.
A Nightmare of a Song?
"When first playing 'Chromatic Nightmare' we sped up the song as it got to the end. It just got ridiculous, and Rob and Vin thought it was really funny that we kept going and going to the point where it was too challenging to even play."
Watch moe. perform "Chromatic Nightmare" Live:

Ultra-Efficient Danish Home Produces More Energy Than It Needs
Start Slideshow
- Home for LifeThis striking modern home located near Aarhus in Denmark packs an amazing array of green building strategies into a small footprint, allowing it to actually produce more power than it consumes. Designed and built to be super energy-efficient, smart,eco-friendly, and powered by the sun, the zero-plus Home For Life is an experiment in creating the sustainable house of the future. A family has been living in the home now for 14 months and reporting on their activities and the home's performance in order to improve the design for future iterations.1
- Home for LifeThe Home for Life is one of eight experimental buildings created by VKR Holdings to develop the sustainable home of the future.2
- Home for LifeThe home is designed using the Active House principle, which has a strong focus on energy-efficient design, daylighting and renewable energy generation.3
- Home for LifeEvery room has at least two walls with windows on it, so the home makes great use of natural daylighting.4
- Home for LifeIntelligent controls manage the home's energy usage. Automatic systems turn off lights when rooms is not in use and open windows for natural ventilation.5
- Home for LifeDuring the cool seasons, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is used so the cold air can be heated without the use of additional energy.6
- Home for LifeThe home's windows cover 40 percent of the total floor area, which is twice the area of a traditional house.7
- Home for LifeAn Active House takes similar principles of Passive House design, but incorporates more daylighting and utilizes "smart home" devices to optimize the use of energy.8
- Home for LifeIt is one thing to design and build a smart and energy-efficient home, but little research has been done yet to see how livable they are. Data collected from this experiment is very important to future designs.9
- Home for LifeThe family reports on how comfortable they are with the automatic controls -- when the climate was just right for them, and when the controls made it too hot or too cold.10
- Home for LifeThe south-facing slate roof includes the photovoltaic system, solar hot water system and skylights.11
- Home for LifeThe home's energy systems are all optimized and work together to minimize energy use.12
- Home for LifeThe roof is key to the design -- it incorporates renewable energy generation, skylights for natural lighting, and operable windows for cooling.13
- Home for LifeA schematic of the House of Life.14

Purchased for 2014 Honda CRV and the quality and fit are great. Took about an hour to install two front covers. Totally satisfied.
Reviewed By Steve G (REDMOND, WA) Reviewed for a 1996 Honda Civic —8/23/2012 7:51 AM
I ordered the seat covers to replace a set of sheepskin seat covers that finally wore out. These are fairly easy to install, very snug fit so they stay in place and are nice looking. Just got them so I can't say how well they will wear but they seem durable. Good value for the money.

The FEED
|The HK23E is the little brother to the HK21E. In 5.56 x 45 caliber, (.223 Remington), the then called HK21A1 was a contender for the Squad Automatic Weapon trials hosted by the U.S. military when they sought to add a smaller lighter weapon in 5.56 at the squad level. It featured full caliber conversion from 7.62 x 51 to 5.56 x 45 in minutes without tools. Designated for these tests as the XM262, the HK21A1 lost out to the FN Minimi, now designated by the military as the M249 SAW. (Squad Automatic Weapon)
After the HK21A1 was improved and renamed the HK21E, the same was done for the 5.56 version. It was renamed the HK23E.
The HK23E with standard three round burst trigger group, 100 round belt box and bipod. Visible from this angle is the carrying handle, forward assist and barrel changing handle. Also shown is the older style non-adjustable bipod.
The HK23E with tripod model 1102. Mount for periscope optic is present as well. Optic itself is not shown.
Very interesting variant of the HK23, referred to as the HK73. It features what has been described as a linkless feed system that holds a box similar in shape to a linked belt box, but as you can see in this photo, clearly different. It is said to hold 150 rounds of 5.56 ammunition, and is loaded with stripper clips.

The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) program at Otero Junior College will be hosting its third annual monarch butterfly tagging event at Bent's Old Fort on Saturday, Sept. 20, and again on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 10 a.m. to noon. The program cost is $3.
OJC students and community members of all ages are invited to join in as amateur scientists. No experience is necessary to participate in this hands-on learning experience that promotes education and research about the monarch butterfly. The OJC STEM staff will provide butterfly nets and educate participants on how to find and tag the monarchs. Once tagged, the butterflies will be released to continue their amazing migration.
In the entire world, no butterflies migrate like the monarchs of North America. They are the only butterflies to make such a long, two-way migration every year, traveling up to three thousand miles.
Monarch butterflies cannot survive a long, cold winter. Instead, they spend the winter in roosting spots, often to the exact same trees. Monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains travel to small groves of trees along the California coast. Those east of the Rocky Mountains fly farther south to the forests high in the mountains of Mexico.
One unsolved mystery is how Monarchs find their winter roosting sites each year. Somehow they know their way, even though the butterflies returning to Mexico or California each fall are the great-great-grandchildren of the butterflies that left the previous spring. No one knows exactly how their homing system works; it is another of the many unanswered questions in the butterfly world.
For more information on the monarch butterfly tagging events or to register, go to http://www.ojc.edu/summerSTEMthree.aspx or call Yolonda Jaramillo at 384-6868.

My version of who knows what
Here is a confession: I buy my colognes from the local dollar store (yes, they are $1 each). These are imitations, or rather "versions" of better known and undoubtedly more expensive brands. Despite their price, they smell pretty good.
When I am getting ready to go on a long trip, I break open the metal seal around the neck of a perfume bottle, remove the cap and transfer some of its contents into a smaller plastic spray bottle, which is lighter and takes less space.
In the process, any remaining cologne in the bottle from a previous trip gets mixed with the new one. I don't bother to label the bottles. So I often end up with totally new bouquets. They too smell pretty good.

RIPTON, Vt. - The University of Colorado ski team, led by an individual title in the classical race from sophomore Rune Oedegaard, moved into second place here Thursday at the midway point of the 60th Annual NCAA Skiing Championships.
Defending champion Vermont maintained its first day lead, extending it by five points as the Catamounts have 389 points through four of the eight events. The Buffaloes are next with 368.5 points, making up 31 points on UNM thanks to a 193-point day Thursday, the best by any school in the 21-team field. UVM's 20.5-point lead is the seventh smallest at the halfway mark in the last 21 national championship meets.
Utah is in third (350) and Denver fourth (328), but a 48-point gap exists between the top four and the rest of the field as some separation has started to take place.
Friday's slalom will play a major role in who could take charge among the top four leaders or if as many as three other schools could get back into contention. But Thursday was challenging enough as the weather conditions were changing constantly, playing some havoc as the coaches tried to "hit the wax" as best as they could to put their skiers in the best position to compete.
"A win is always wonderful, especially when the team didn't do as well as we are capable of," Nordic coach Bruce Cranmer said. "I share a lot of that responsibility. The conditions were tricky and were changing, it was a lot different from guys to girls, and we just didn't adjust to it. The girls race, just being a little slick, seconds were tight, there wasn't a lot out of extra time out there.
"Would've, could've, should've, we should be closer to the lead or have the lead, but that's ski racing and sports in general. It's not a disaster of a day, but certainly not what I was hoping for."
Oedegaard won the 10-kilometer men's classic race in a time of 26 minutes and 0.2 seconds; he was just a couple of seconds off the lead at the first split, then took over the pace at the second split by nearly seven seconds and was ahead as well at the third and fourth splits. New Mexico's Mats Resaland finished second in 26:05.4.
Oedegaard finished seventh in the classic as a freshman last year at Bozeman, disappointing after he had won the event three times leading up to nationals. Fast-forward to this winter, and he again had two wins and a runner-up in classic, but was looking for a higher result - and this time earned it.
"This is what I've been talking about all year; I just had to show myself I could do it," Oedegaard said. "The course was tougher than it looked, the downhills turn all the way so you have to work a lot to keep your speed up, and the hills, you get so tired. We had the best team support on the toughest hill, they were running up with me, you can't help but go as hard as you can.
"I've been thinking a lot about last year's NCAA's during training," he added. "I've been trying to hold back from peaking physically too soon, last year I was a lot stronger for Regionals than I was this year so the last two weeks I knew I'd have a lot more to give for NCAAs, and that was the plan all along."
Oedegard's win was the fourth-ever by a Buffalo skier in the NCAA classical race, but the third in the last four seasons. He joined Ove Erik Tronvoll (1999), Matt Gelso (2010) and Reid Pletcher (2011) as champions in the event.
Junior Andreas Hoye finished 18th in 27:12.3, while freshman Gustav Nordstrom was 21st in 27:32.5. Hoye was as high as eighth after the third split and Nordstrom third following the first and seventh after the second before falling back.
Alaska-Anchorage won the men's race as a team with 108 points, with the Buffs second (91); Utah (87) and Dartmouth (85) were right there in the mix for runner-up. It was a tight one, with 55 seconds separating 11th through 30th, about the same between winning and 10th.
In the women's 5k version, CU tied Dartmouth for the most team points in the women's classic (102), the seventh time the Buffaloes have won the race at the NCAA's, and for the first time since 2008. It was tight though, with Utah (98) and Vermont (95) right behind the Buffs and the Big Green. The women's race overall was even closer, with 51 seconds the difference between fifth and 30th.
Senior Joanne Reid led the way for CU, finishing fourth in a 15:44.2 time; Vermont's Anja Gruber had over a 10-second edge on the field in winning in 15:31.1. Dartmouth's Mary O'Connell, who hails from Steamboat Springs, was the last racer to cross the finish in the interval start format and wound up knocking Reid off the podium. It was still her third first-team All-America performance in the event and her fourth overall; she now has six total including two All-America nods. She matched her previous finish which she posted as a freshman.
"It was a little painful, the skis were a little slippery, but they were fast," Reid said. "If skis aren't fast and you want to pick slow and kicky, or fast and slippery, I'd pick fast. I made up a lot of time on the downhills and flats. As far as NCAA's go, I'll take it, but hopefully we'll do better Saturday. I know I'm stronger in distance, and I like freestyle and mass starts better. You always know where you are, you don't have to go as fast as you can, you just have to go faster than everybody else."
Freshman Maria Nordstroem claimed sixth in 16:03.3, with senior Eliska Hajkova affected the most by the conditions with a 16th place effort in 16:24.5; she won the classic title two years ago not far from here in Stowe. Hajkova was second and Nordstroem third at the split (Reid was sixth), but both couldn't hold those early positions.
"It was hard because it's tricky, if you run out of the track, you have better grips, but snow sticks to your skis, so you can't always go as hard as you want," Nordstroem said. "I can't complain about the skis, they weren't perfect, but that's how it goes."
"Joanne missed the podium or even second place by two seconds," Cranmer said. "They all could've used a little more kick on their skis. There's no question they fought hard and skied their hearts out."
"The guys did a great job, Rune winning a championship is awesome and Andreas and Gustav did about their standard," CU head coach Richard Rokos said. "The girls had a little misfortune with the wax, they missed it by a hair, it happens, that's a part of the sport. Joanne still finishing fourth and Maria sixth, both did a great job of fighting through it."
The slalom races are set for Friday, with the women's first run at 7 a.m. MST, followed by the men's first run at 7:45 a.m.; the second runs will follow at 9:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., respectively. The freestyle races will finish off the NCAA meet on Saturday (women's 15-kilometer mass start at 8:00 a.m., men's 20k race following at 10:00 a.m.).
"Saturday on this course, the goal will be to stay up front the whole way," Oedegaard said in looking ahead to the freestyle races. "It's turning the whole way, a lot of things can happen, there's lots of turns, lots of ice, and much you can't control, but being in front would help."
"Waxing is way easier in freestyle, there aren't 15, 20 or 100 different wax combinations you can use," Cranmer noted. "Skis and wax are important, but nothing like it is for classical. We will be okay. The girls are equally as good in freestyle, the guys are maybe a little better in classical, but they should be fine. We'll be ready."
Overall, it appears anywhere from four to seven schools will have say in what happens. "It opens room for all kinds of speculation," Rokos said. "For us, it is the fact that we're coming up on our strong events, slalom and skating. It's encouraging. We'll come prepared and fight for the best. Slalom is usually the great equalizer, but the guys are ready, the girls are prepared as well. Unless there's a disaster with the hill, it looks like it will be warm and soft, so everyone will have to deal with that."

How this London girl, Hayley Gilbert became the successful performer she is today.
How and when did you first get into performing?
I remember going to see a Cinderella at The Beck Theatre and I got called up on stage by Buttons. I loved it so much that I enrolled into acting classes at Crystal Arts - a Theatre School. Here I landed my first acting gig in 'Top a Ten Really Annoying Records', with Keith Chegwin and Tony Blackburn. I remember watching all the actors and knew I wanted to be just as good, if not better.
Who were some of your biggest inspirations?
Growing up, I liked the classic movies. I was a fan of Doris Day and Audrey Hepburn. I would watch 'My Fair Lady', 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and 'Pillow Talk' constantly. I love the acting and their style. I would love to play Eliza Doolittle, a funny but rewarding character to play. I also love Bette Midler in 'Beaches', just the fact every time you watch the movie it's so powerful you cannot help but cry. She is a talented singer and actress. She is versatile in all her movies. Also Goldie Hawn is great. I loved her performance in 'Private Benjamin' and 'Overboard'.
What kind have training have you done?
I trained at Redroof's, a Theatre School in Screen Acting. Mostly known for one of their most famous students 'Kate Winslet'. I also attended the Baron Brown Studio which focuses on the Meisner technique.
What has been your favorite role to play so far?
I don't really have a favorite part that I have played. Every part is fun and leaves me with a happy memory and a challenge, that why I do it. I would have to say my fondest memory would be when I won a part in a musical at The London Palladium. This was very early on in my career. I remember never telling anybody that I was going to the audition. I really did not think I would be hearing from them. Then one day a letter came saying 'Congratulations we would love to offer you a part in the production 'In our time' at The London Palladium. I ran to tell my mum and she never believed me. Once I convinced her, she rang the entire family. My most notable role would be playing Anne Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank. That was a challenge playing a real person, the most victimized Jewish person in history but very interesting to research. It was a rewarding role to play. To relive her story made me want to teach people the history and emotional journey that she went through.
What projects do you have coming up?
I've been starring in a web series titled 'Vignettes' and we have the second series coming up. It's all about online dating. It's very funny. She meets a lot of crazy dates in a restaurant called Vignettes. Im looking forward to the next series, as my character actually does meet somebody she falls for online but you could never imagine who it is! Her life would never be the same again.
Who would be your ideal co-star and why?
I would have to say it's either Nicholas Cage or Robin Williams. I think you could learn so much from Nicholas Cage and he seems like he would be a nice person to work with. Robin Williams would also teach so much regarding comedy and probably make me laugh all day.
What are your plans for the future?
My goal is to be a regular on a TV series. I would love to involved with dramas and soaps (sitcoms). I would absolutely love to play an authortive figure in a crime drama. I want to play a character that you can see develop over a period of time and the audience can follow. I would love to play a quirky character like America Ferrera in Ugly Betty.
What is your advice to aspiring performers?
Persistence! If you really believe in yourself you have to keep heading forward. Do something everyday towards your career. Everyday I think of acting, I could not see myself in any other profession. You have to know how to market yourself and make connections.

Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists, 6th Edition, John D. Preston PsyD ABPP
Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists has become the go-to resource for thousands of mental health clinicians seeking a reliable and easy-to-reference resource detailing the indications, contraindications, and side effects of psychopharmaceuticals. Organized by disorder and, within each disorder, by medication, this book is a vital addition to any clinician or student's bookshelf. This revision includes an important new chapter on withdrawing from psychopharmacological medications that will prove useful for therapists seeking to help their clients change medication or stop taking a psychopharmacological medication. Now in its seventh edition, the book continues to be among the most important references in the field of mental health.
"I'm a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist with no medical training, and I found Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists to be a compelling and stimulating read, as well as a welcome addition to my reference shelf. This text is coherent and user-friendly, and reading it is a surprisingly pleasurable way to expand your knowledge in an area of clinical treatment usually not made this accessible to nonmedical professionals."
—Susan Flynn, PhD
"I recommend the Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists to psychotherapists from various clinical trainings and diverse clinical orientations, as well as to nonpsychiatric physicians and their prescribing assistants. One of the most valuable elements of this text is the authors' reminder to consider when and how medication can be appropriate to treatment, and how the clini¬cian is an essential part of the psycho-medical treatment team. If you have only one reference book on your shelf addressing the interface between clinical treatment and psychopharmacology, this should be it."
—Marvin B. Berman, PhD
"Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists is a modern masterpiece written by a multidisciplinary team of distinguished practitioners. It is one of the most clearly written and reader-friendly yet comprehensive books on the subject of psychiatric diagnosis and psychotropic drug therapy. The handbook is packed full of useful tables, figures, and illustrations that amplify the main text or can be used independently for a rapid introduction to the field or for reviewing the fundamentals. Covering both the spectrums of pathophysiology and the neurobiology of drug action, this slim, state-of-the-art-and-science text is truly a handbook worthy of the name and should be an essential resource for mental health professionals and students alike."
—Clifford N. Lazarus, PhD, licensed psychologist and director of Comprehensive Psychological Services of Princeton, author of Don't Believe It for a Minute and The 60-Second Shrink
"Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists is a wonderfully useful and comprehensive book. It should be essential reading for all mental health professionals and for others like myself who have family members suffering from mental illness. Its great virtues are its clarity and its humane and informed sense of the diagnosis, treatment, and care of extraordinarily complicated conditions."
—Jay Neugeboren, author of Imagining Robert
"This book belongs on the desk of every psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, social worker, or anyone who works with clients who are taking psychoactive drugs. Also, anyone teaching or interested in abnormal psychology will find it indispensible. The authors manage, with judicious use of well-designed tables and clear, concise writing, to fill a gap in the current literature. No other book with which I am familiar covers the history of psychiatric medicine as well as both the neurochemistry and clinical use of psychotropics. The authors make excellent use of case histories, which are always to the point. I cannot think of anything that could be added to this text, or any part of it I would want to change."
—Harry Avis, PhD, professor of psychology at Sierra College and author of Drugs and Life
John D. Preston, PsyD, ABPP, is a licensed psychologist and the author or coauthor of twenty books. He is a professor of psychology at Alliant International University, and has also served on the faculty of the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine. He has lectured widely in the United States and abroad. He is the recipient of the Mental Health Association's President's Award for contributions to the mental health professions, and is a fellow of the American Psychological Association.
John H. O'Neal, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist who has been in private practice since 1977. He is past chief of the department of psychiatry at Sutter Community Hospital in Sacramento, CA. He is an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine and a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He lectures on depression and psychopharmacology to mental health professionals, employee assistance programs, and the public. Dr. O'Neal received his MS in clinical psychology from Harvard University.
Mary Talaga, RPh, PhD, is administrative services leader for Kaiser Permanente Pharmacy Operations in the Northern California region. She has been a pharmacist for more than thirty years, and specializes in psychiatric pharmacy. Talaga has extensive experience in health care and has practiced in a variety of clinical settings. She is particularly interested in promoting collaborative care models and developing best-practice guidelines. She provides training and mentoring to health care professionals and general education to patients and consumers.
I like the book, but I thought it would be much more comprehensive than the comparable paperback I have by the same authors.The paperback is entitled "Consumer's Guide To Psychiatric drugs" & I thought that book was similar. However, it is a good book to have as reference & extremely helpful for those not well versed in psychopharmacology.

Study leave should be a godsend for teens - the chance to focus on revision for important exams that will shape their lives away from the distractions of the classroom.
"But too many teenagers don't know how to organise their revision and make the most of the study time," says Susan Moss, a former head teacher who now coaches teens in study skills.
"I find that when I work with them one to one they quickly build the confidence they may be lacking in their ability to study.
"I talk to them about the importance of focus and try to make them see that too much time spent on Facebook and not enough on revision could limit their future choices and land them in a dead-end job.
"Then we look at the subjects to be covered and how the available study time can best be allocated. I coach them in creating clear, bullet-point notes, filed by subject and module, and a realistic timetable for revision.
"Once having mastered organisation, they become independent learners, ready to achieve their full academic potential."
Susan, who holds a Master's degree in Education and has 27 years' teaching experience, also supports teens between sessions via email, text and Skype: "Knowing they can get the support they need from me when they feel stuck really helps keep them motivated."
As well as organising revision, Susan assists A level students in choosing their university courses and preparing their personal statements.
She also helps those facing the difficult move to a new school, and will support students suffering from dyslexia and dyspraxia, both in the classroom and at home.

"Bachelorette" star Ryan Sutter may be a foreign name for those who have been watching the show more recently, because he was actually the man who was chosen on the first season of the "Bachelorette." The two have been trying to stay out of the spotlight, but it sounds like they are having some issues about their marriage. They have two children together, Max and Blakesley. According to a new report, "Bachelorette" star Ryan Sutter is now revealing his true feelings to his wife, Trista Sutter, after years of marriage.
The two have been filming "Marriage Book Camp: Reality Stars," where secrets from their marriage have been revealed. Of course, they have been married for quite some time and they get comfortable with being together. As a result, they may be saying sweet things less than they used to, and they may not be making the same efforts as they once did. And with two children and careers, it can be hard.
Ryan and Trista have been the golden couple of the "Bachelor/Bachelorette" franchise, as they have been married for so many years. And yet, they felt it was necessary to get help on the show, "Marriage Book Camp: Reality Stars," where they talk about some of their issues. They reveal that they have experienced cracks in their marriage, including Ryan not stepping up and helping out.
"I just feel like I can do a lot better," the Colorado-based firefighter, 39, admits in the video. "I just want to be the person for my wife that she deserves." Fellow co-star, Tanisha Thomas, reveals that she thinks they are strong together. "You guys are like the fairytale," Thomas responds. "With issues and always room to improve." In an exercise, he comes clean. "I love you, I should have told you that more," he whispers to his wife. "I should have told you everyday. I should have been the first to tell you everyday."
However, it sounds like they will work out their issues. If he steps up and helps out more and tells her that he appreciate everything she does, then things may work out well with them. It sounds like they just have to get back on track with their relationship. Do you think that they can work out their issues? Do you think that you will watch the upcoming episode of the show, where they share their issues?

Film buffs should put this in the if-I'm-cruising-on-Oscar-Sunday-next-year file: Princess Cruises has secured rights not only to broadcast the Academy Awards (airing live this Sunday), but also to showcase the awards ceremony on its huge "Movies Under the Stars" screens.
The only caveat? At this point, the screens are only installed on Grand Princess and Caribbean Princess. Passengers on other Princess ships can view the show in the main theaters. In 2006, cruisers can also choose Sea Princess, which will get the fabulous, poolside, drive-in-like outdoor theater when it returns to the fleet this spring.
Princess has carved out a reputation for throwing a "grand" Academy Awards party each year onboard its ships -- passengers stroll down Princess' own "red carpet" in their formal best and pose for "paparazzi" photographers. Other highlights include special cocktails, prize giveaways and even a shipboard fashion critic who pronounces winners and losers.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- University of Arizona head football coach Mike Stoops and staff have announced the tentative 2005 spring football practice schedule, culminating in the annual Spring Game in Arizona Stadium on April 23.
Teams are permitted 15 practice sessions during the spring. The coaching staff will work with a nucleus of about 80 players including 36 returning lettermen evenly split with 17 on offense, 17 on defense and two kickers.
New on the scene is 2002 Heisman Trophy finalist Josh Heupel, a former Oklahoma Sooner Stoops brought on board to coach tight ends. Heupel was a graduate assistant at OU last year and begins his first season as a full time coach.
The Wildcat coaches return the entire starting secondary on defense, a unit that could be considered one of the team's strongest. However, starting free safety Darrell Brooks will be sidelined for much of spring ball after shoulder surgery in the offseason. Other returnees in the backfield include senior strong safety Lamon Means and sophomores to be Antoine Cason and Wilrey Fontenot at the corners.
Junior college transfers could make an impact . Stoops signed safety Michael Johnson, tight end Brandyn McCall, fullback/H-back Paul Nichols, wide receiver B.J. Vickers and defensive tackle Byron Smith, plus returns sophomore linebacker Spencer Larsen after a two-year hiatus serving a Mormon mission in Chile.
Spring practices generally will be closed to the public although some scrimmage action will be open, including the Spring Game.

The juicing craze has taken the world by storm. From celebrities to average people, everyone is talking about juicing and its health benefits. Adding fresh fruit and vegetable juices to your diet is one of the best ways to reduce your daily calorie intake and get rid of toxins. If you want to lose weight fast, give up solid food and drink juices for a few days.
Juicing is a safer, healthier alternative to water fasts. By including juices in your diet, you'll provide your body with essential nutrients and antioxidants. Fresh juices are rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients. They contain powerful antioxidants that reduce free radical damage, strengthen your immune system, and fight against viruses and bacteria.
Homemade juices can help you shed a few pounds within days. For optimal results, do a quick detox using fresh juices. Give up food for a few days and drink vitamin-packed juices made from kale, spinach, wheatgrass, oranges, kiwi, carrots, and grapefruit. You could also add flaxseed, yogurt, or almond milk to increase your protein intake. This way you'll lose weight without feeling tired or fatigued. Protein also helps prevent muscle loss and keeps you full longer. For example, you can prepare a fresh juice using avocado, yogurt, and soy milk.
Depending on your weight loss goals, commit to a full juice fast or have fresh juices for breakfast or dinner. The more meals you replace, the more fat you'll lose. Fresh juices give your body all the nutrients it needs. They also reduce hunger and cravings, Juicing is the perfect solution for those with a busy lifestyle. These delicious, healthy drinks can be prepared within minutes. Whether you want to lose fat or get rid of toxins, juicing is a great choice.

"Bachelorette" star Desiree Hartsock may have gotten her heart broken by Sean Lowe on his season of the show, but it sounds like she was quick to move on to find her own future husband on her own season. She may have fallen hard for Brooks, but it sounds like Chris Siegfried was the one she wanted. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on May 16, "Bachelorette" star Desiree Hartsock decided to choose Chris in the end and it sounds like it has been the right pick.
Desiree shocked the world when she picked Chris, because he had been standing in the background for most of the season. However, she felt that he was the right choice for her. Many questioned when she knew that he was the right fit for her, especially since she seemed very heartbroken after Brooks decided to leave the show behind and go home.
However, the two have been living together in Seattle for a while, as they have been planning their wedding. But now, both of them are explaining how they knew they were meant to be and why they love spending time together. And it sounds like they knew their relationship would last after the show ended, because they have similar interests and similar work ethic.
"Chris and I always had similar interests and same sense of humor so regardless of the cameras I knew that our chemistry would go beyond the show. I find that keeping a relationship strong truly comes from validating and affirming each other. Communication is key but not just talking, it's important to understand how your partner shares their feelings and frustrations also," she explained. Chris added, "I knew the relationship outside of the show would work because of the conversation and similar values we share aligned."
It sounds like they are on the same page. They have not released their wedding date to the world, but one can imagine they are planning their wedding to be featured on the show. Chris Harrison will often ask people if they want to get married for an ABC "Bachelor" special. What do you think of them getting married? Are you surprised that they have overcome the odds and are still together, despite the track record of the show?

The comedy film "Tammy" is the first major-studio collaboration written by Melissa McCarthy and her husband, Ben Falcone. The couple are also two of the producers of the movie, and Falcone directed "Tammy." After losing her job, husband and car in one day, Tammy Banks (played by McCarthy) wants out of her small town existence. With no money or transportation, her only way out is with her hard-partying grandmother Pearl (played by Susan Sarandon). Their misadventures and brushes with the law lead them on a funny and heartfelt road trip to remember.
The film also stars Allison Janney as Tammy's world-weary mom, Deb; Gary Cole as ladies' man Earl; Mark Duplass as Earl's son, Bobby; Dan Aykroyd as Tammy's dad, Don; and Kathy Bates as Pearl's fun-loving lesbian cousin Lenore; Sandra Oh as Lenore's partner Susanne; Toni Collette as Tammy's neighbor Missi; and Nat Faxon as Tammy's husband, Greg; and Sarah Baker as Becky, who works at a fast-food place that Tammy robs. McCarthy, Falcone, Sarandon, Duplass, Cole, Faxon and Baker gathered for a "Tammy" press conference in Los Angeles. Here is what they said.
Melissa, is it true that it was your idea to do the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation scene with the deer?
McCarthy: We were talking about it that if she really hit a deer, she would feel horrible, like you would, and she would do whatever it would take. And if she were actually down there, I thought, "Would she actually try to resuscitate? And would it work?" And we thought we wouldn't get that close, but that was my own weird idea.
Was a real deer used in that scene?
McCarthy: No, but thank you for asking. For a long time, it was the puppetry version of it, but every time we would show it to people, they were like, "The deer looks horrible!" It's a digital deer. I did not actually run down a deer for "Tammy." I promise.
Susan, did the road trip in "Tammy" remind you of the road trip in "Thelma and Louise"? Were there any jokes about that during the filming of "Tammy"?
Sarandon: We didn't think about it for the longest time until we were doing press. They brought a car in and we said, "You know, it might remind people of that other movie." And they were like, "Oh yeah." I don't know. It was so different. I don't think it really...
Duplass: Are we talking about "Bull Durham"?
McCarthy: There was a whole baseball scene where we had to play baseball. We ended up having to cut that. Sorry, it's early. I'll get better.
Sarandon: We're not warmed up.
Susan, how were you approached to be a part of "Tammy"? Can you talk about changing your looks for the movie?
Sarandon: Ben and Melissa called me and prepared me for the script. I got the script I thought it was really fun. I was doing another movie, and I didn't quite understand what reality we would be in. So we had another call. I was excited by the way they work.
And then Mark Duplass — it was a conspiracy — called me. I didn't even know he was going to be in the movie, but he called me and said, "Oh, you have to do this. These are such great people." Peer pressure got to me, and I thought, "I'll jump."
I was a little worried because there wasn't much time between the other film I was doing. So I did three in a row — all alcoholic, pill-popping characters. So I was prepared, in that sense. We texted little pictures of possible looks and figured out the age thing. She wasn't much older than I actually am. She just doesn't have my makeup and hair people. Let's go for it.
McCarthy: One of the first questions in the meeting on the phone was, "Are you seeing a little old granny with glasses in a crocheted sweater and an updo bun?" And we're like, "Oh God, no! She has raging problems with alcohol and she sleeps around." And it was like, "OK, we'll be fine. We're in a real realm here."
Melissa, how did growing up in Illinois influence your comedic sensibilities?
McCarthy: Ben and I both grew up in Illinois. That's kind of why when we started writing [the "Tammy" screenplay], we said, "I think this woman is from where he grew up, and it's where I went to college."
We had to base it on real people we know and what it's like if you feel stuck. I think there are people who really love the comfort of their small town, and there are people who feel stuck by it. And that was kind of our jumping-off place. If you're really stuck in this rut, and you're stuck in this whole little tiny world of things you don't like, how hard to you have to get hit to bump you out of your vicious cycle?
Falcone: It was sort of a love letter to Illinois, though it's kind of ironic that the whole love letter is about someone who's desperate to leave.

Cabelas has locations all around the country, and they specialize in many kinds of outdoor equipment and clothing. With more than 200,000 products to choose from, hunters and campers represent just two of the groups that love to shop at Cabelas. Their product line is available for mail order purchases as well as online.
If you shop from Cabelas regularly, you might consider the Cabela's Club Visa card. When you make purchases with the Visa card you earn reward points, which convert to dollars off your purchases at their store. Unlike some time sensitive reward point offers, you can earn as many points as you want and they are good for as long as you maintain your credit card by making timely payments.
Online Credit Card Payment and the Cabela's Club Visa
The Cabela's Visa gives cardholders the inside track on specials and discounts because they receive offers the general public never sees. The Club offers the ability of credit card payment online and all transactions have the flexibility of being sent to your Microsoft Money or Quicken database.
For the convenience of paying online, you must provide the correct requested information online at the Cabelas website. Once you've given all the specifics, you can make online credit card payment by 5:00 PM CST and the payment will be credited to your account on the same day. Payments default to a one-time payment so you don't have to worry that you will have an unsuspected deduction from your bank account.
The Cabelas Visa does give the option of automatic payments if you so choose. This must be set up by you and has the options of paying a set amount, the minimum due amount, or the entire balance. You will find this option under the "Services" tab and by selecting the "Forms" option.
Online credit card payment is the wave of the future because it places you in much better control of your account. When you mail a check, you are at the mercy of the postal service and your payment can be delayed, and it costs money for postage, too. Online payments, and more notably the auto-pay option, ensure your payment is sent on time so that your credit rating stays high. You can also monitor what happens on your account to be sure no unauthorized activity takes place.
Reasons to Sign up for Cabela's Visa
It only takes moments to make your Cabela's Club Visa Card application and it is done online. If you qualify, you will be approved instantly and receive $15 toward a purchase from Cabelas. You have to be at least 18 years of age before you can submit an application through their secure website.
Another feature of the Cabela's charge card is "Payment Assurance," which protects you in the event you lose your means of income by hospitalization, involuntary unemployment, or because you become disabled temporarily. In addition to stopping any payments due Cabelas for the named reasons, signing up provides you with $10 worth of free gear!
Credit Card Tips
Micropayments for Paying Off Credit Card Debt
Micropayments are a good way to get credit cards paid off faster, which is a comfort to the millions of people faced with this common debt dilemma. The only way to obtain a sound financial base is to get rid of credit card balances.
The term "average daily balance" on the credit card statement indicates to you that interest is being computed daily on your unpaid balance. Instead of waiting until the required payment date for your bill, paying all along as you can afford to do so reduces your balance and saves interest charges. If you only pay once per month, it is costing you money.
The providers of your credit card are required to accept any payment you send, as long as they know what account to credit it to. Micropayment works under the simple premise that you pay something as soon as you have the funds to do so. You must be able to receive enough money to meet your other obligations on time and pay early on your credit card to make this system work.
Concentrate on paying off the highest interest card first if you have more than one card with a balance. Pay as often and as much as you can toward the first card and the minimum to the other(s). When the first card is paid off, contribute the amount you were paying to it to the next card until no balance remains. Repeat the same steps until all your cards are balance free.
