Ferg's is a large sports bar, located right next to the Rays baseball park. Over the years it has become an institution in the area. I love seeing the same fans come in all the time. They feel like Ferg's is their bar, like they belong here. And that's how I feel at Cornerstone. When I go to the bank, I feel like they know me. Year after year, I deal with the same people. They are friendly, easy to work with, accommodating and timely. In fact, I once applied for a personal loan and they closed within seven days. That's excellent service.
At big banks, it's a totally different experience. There are too many layers of people to deal with, and too many customers. You're just one of the masses, and that's not the kind of place I want to handle my banking. So as far as I'm concerned, I'll be a customer of Cornerstone Bank for a long time. And I'm pretty sure they'll be my customers for a long time too.

Chickahominy Lake
This is a 1230-acre water supply reservoir located along the New Kent-Charles City county line. This impoundment of the Chickahominy River was completed in 1943 with the construction of a low-head dam known locally as Walkers Dam. A fish ladder constructed into the dam allows for the passage of anadromous fish such as blueback herring and striped bass. The City of Newport News draws water from Chickahominy Lake and has been responsible for the recent repairs and renovations to Walkers Dam. A new, manually operated boat lock at the dam will eventually be operational to allow boat traffic to move between the lake and river.
This cypress-laden lake provides spectacular scenery, and is great for bird watching. In addition, it just happens to be one of the best all round fisheries in Virginia. The cypress trees, water lilies and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) provide excellent habitats for aquatic organisms and are undoubtedly one of the reasons for the consistently good fishing at this lake over the years.
Walkers Dam used to be one of the more popular places to catch blueback herring during their spring spawning run. Anglers are not permitted to fish from Walkers Dam any longer. The recent moratorium on blueback herring and alewives also prevents anglers from harvesting these species. Anglers will have to turn their attention to the variety of game fish species that inhabit Chickahominy Lake and the Chickahominy River.

Scream If You Love Me!
When I was small, my mom, my brothers, and I watched Mister Rogers' Neighborhood every day before we took our afternoon nap. I learned many valuable life lessons from the gentle PBS legend, and one of the most important was a lesson he sang in a song I can still remember: "There are many ways to say 'I love you.'"
He was right, of course. From cards, chocolates, and flowers to long walks on the beach, romantic candlelit dinners, and *ahem* making the beast with two backs, the ways we humans have devised of expressing our love are veritably endless.
But I'm willing to bet most of us probably hadn't thought of expressing our love for our significant other by walking on a stage, screaming at the top of our lungs in front of a crowd of total strangers, curious passersby, and a fleet of television cameras, amirite?
That's exactly what several dozen men did in a Tokyo park on January 29, though. The love-your-wife shout-out is an annual event held two days before Beloved Wives Day, and some men travel hundreds of miles to participate. The event was conceived by 53-year-old Kiyotaka Yamana, a man whose first marriage fell apart because he frequently ignored his wife to focus on his career. When I remarried, I realized I needed a new attitude," he told NPR. "In the past, my life was all about making money. Now, it's wife first, career second."
Yamana founded a "wife-appreciation society" because, he says, the famously modest Japanese culture has traditionally discouraged displays of affection.
"The traditional belief is it isn't proper to express affection out loud, that love should be simply understood. But it isn't," he says.
Many Japanese face such excruciating pressure to succeed in school and in their careers that their personal lives suffer. So Yamana instituted the shout-out event as a way to give men a chance to say — or rather, scream as loudly as they can — all the things they haven't found themselves able to tell their loved ones privately.
Yamana's goal? According to NPR reporter Lucy Craft, it's simple: to teach his peers that the true way to happiness is by adoring their spouses, one hug at a time.

Treatment System Delivers Gift of Clean, Arsenic-Free Water
Reducing contaminant levels, new treatment system protects Argentine community's health
AdEdge Water Technologies LLC recently delivered a water treatment system to San Antonio de Los Cobres, a village of 5,000 residents in Argentina's Andes Mountains, to reduce a challenging arsenic concentration of 290 parts per billion (ppb) to below the maximum contaminant level (MCL) set by the World Health Organization of 10 ppb.
His Heart Missions, a non-profit organization dedicated to international community service projects, met with AdEdge in 2006 to begin planning and fundraising for the project. The village had a history of higher than normal incidences of cancer, heart failure and other health issues. A team from AdEdge traveled to San Antonio de los Cobres in November 2011 to start up the system and train the local system operators.
Combat Mode
The treatment system design features a two stage system: The first stage uses AdEdge GS+ coagulation filtration media with an iron augmentation module, and the second uses granular ferric oxide adsorption media. An existing sodium hypochlorite chemical feed module was integrated with the system.
Both treatment systems are modular and manually operated to accommodate the design flow of 200 gal per minute. The water system is served by a springhead that passes raw water through a series of existing sand filters, which reduce the arsenic level from 290 to 222 ppb, and the pre-treated water flows into a catch basin. From the catch basin, an underground pipe brings the pre-treated water to the treatment systems before being distributed to the end users in the community.
Helping Hands For Water, a non-profit organization started by a group of AdEdge employees, coordinated the logistics and communication between the company, His Heart Missions, Aguas del Norte and the San Antonio de los Cobres municipality.
An Arsenic-Free Community
Startup of the treatment system began in November 2011. Since startup, water quality test results from Aguas del Norte and the treatment system report the system is operating successfully, reducing the arsenic concentration levels to less than 5 ppb.
The superintendent of the municipality of San Antonio de Los Cobres presented His Heart Missions and AdEdge with an official declaration of thanks and recognition of the significance of the arsenic treatment system donation in providing a better quality of life for the citizens of San Antonio de Los Cobres.
Joseph Naylor is marketing manager for AdEdge Water Technologies LLC. Naylor can be reached at [email protected] or 866.823.3343.

Rangers announcerwins Frick Award
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Texas Rangers announcer Eric Nadel won the Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting.
Im so excited, Nadel said during a conference call Wednesday. Im happy, tremendously flattered. Its an amazing thrill for a kid from Brooklyn, who grew up as a radio junkie. Im still a radio junkie, I guess.
The award was announced by the baseball Hall of Fame at the winter meetings.
Nadel has been with Texas for the past 35 years. For the last 19, he has been the lead voice on Rangers radio broadcasts.
Former President George W. Bush, a former Rangers owner, has fond memories of listening to Nadel, whom he called a friend.
His passion for the sport is evident in every broadcast, Bush said in a statement issued through the Rangers. Any announcer can call a game, but Eric brings his listeners into the stadium. He is a wonderful ambassador for our national pastime.
The 62-year-old Nadel called Nolan Ryans 5,000th strikeout on Aug. 22, 1989, and was on air for the Rangers six playoff berths and two American League pennants.
His signature home run call, That ball is history! is part of Rangers lore.
Erics description and analysis of thousands of Texas Rangers games over the last 35 years have been a joy for the fans, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan said through the Rangers. He has always made the games entertaining and informative. He is a Hall of Famer in every sense of the word and is very deserving of the honor.
Nadel will be honored during the Hall of Fame awards presentation July 26 in Cooperstown, N.Y.MORE IN Sports WireBUFFALO, N.Y. Full StoryMIAMI Draft night belonged to Ben Simmons.

Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest strengths?
JaJuan Harley: I feel my greatest strength is my speed. I feel I can match up with anyone and my speed allows me to do a lot on the field. I feel my speed is what will really separate me in the next level. I am also very versatile as I can play CB and S.
Scott Porter: What are your goals?
JaJuan Harley: My goal is to show people that no matter what circumstance or school you go to, you can be a success story. I want people to hear my story and see my success and know that it can happen to them.
Scott Porter: Is there a player in the NFL you model your game after?
JaJuan Harley: I would say Antonio Cromartie because we have a lot of similar things. We are both from Tallahassee. Antonio is an amazing athlete with great speed. Coming out people said we were very similar. We both went to Florida State coming out of high school. He has similar speed and size as me and people doubted him when he declared early for the draft like they have me. Antonio declared after tearing his ACL and nobody thought he could go as high as he did, he proved everyone wrong.
Scott Porter: What led to your decision to declare early for the draft?
JaJuan Harley: I declared early due to family circumstances. Everyone told me to come back for my senior season and graduate. I am 3 classes away from graduation and I will take those this summer and graduate. I choose to declare due to a family health issue. I feel that you grow as a man and you have to do what you have to do. I need to take care of my family and I look forward to being able to help them.
Scott Porter: What are your greatest football accomplishments?
JaJuan Harley: I have overcome adversity all 4 years I have played football. Every year I have had something come up that I had to fight through to succeed. I have had instances of grueling adversity and I have overcame those things.
Scott Porter: What would you tell an NFL team asking why should we draft JaJuan Harley?
JaJuan Harley: First off I would tell them they are getting a guy with very high character. I am very mature. My character was tested during the season with a family health issue. I fought through that and have continued to become a better player each and every season. Adversity has taken a toll on me and I have fought and found ways to fight through those. I have been tested. I would tell an NFL team no matter what happens I stay focused. I stay strong. I push through and I always give it my all. I give 100%.
Scott Porter: Who has been your biggest influence?
JaJuan Harley: My dad. He put the ball in my hands and most of all I have seen him fight through health issues. To see my dad pushing and striving in life with an illness has been a huge inspiration on me. He has been such a positive influence on me. He has been that driving force in me. He has taught me that no matter what happens to keep that faith in god.
Scott Porter: What hobbies do you have off the field?
JaJuan Harley: That is tough. I don't have a lot of free time. I guess tweeting is one hobby that I have. I like to tweet inspirational quotes. I like to relax. I am use to pushing my body that it's nice to relax when exhausted. I like to spend time with family and friends.
Scott Porter: What will you miss most about college football?
JaJuan Harley: I would say the atmosphere. I am blessed to have experienced two different universities atmospheres. Both have been great.
Scott Porter: What will you be doing from now until NFL draft time to prepare yourself?
JaJuan Harley: Right now I am training. I have been lifting, running, working on fundamentals. I have also been studying a lot of film on other DB's to see what I can pick up on. I am trying to find ways to make myself a better player. You always look to get better. I want to be the best professional as possible on and off the field when I get there. I have been training back home.

ISL Docs Allege FIFA's Havelange, Teixiera Took Millions in Bribes
Soccer luminary João Havelange and his son-in-law, Ricardo Teixiera, who used to lead the Brazilian soccer federation, received millions of dollars in alleged bribes in the 1990s from a now-collapsed sports marketing company, according to a court document released Wednesday.
Havelange, who formerly was president of international soccer's governing body, received $1 million, while Teixiera got $13 million from ISL, the document said. The payments were made in the 1990s, the document said; ISL collapsed into bankruptcy in 2001. Under Swiss law at the time, the payments made by ISL were not illegal.
Teixiera and Havelange together received up to $22 million, including payments to entiries they controlled, according to the document.
The Swiss Federal Court ordered the release Wednesday of the 2010 document, from the prosecutor's office in the canton of Zug, which followed a corruption investigation of Havelange and Teixiera. The document is a non-prosecution order against FIFA and the two men.
Teixiera and Havelange sought to block the document's release after journalists requested the sealed papers; FIFA posted them on its website following the ruling.
Both FIFA's legal representative and Teixiera denied criminal conduct in the document. Havelange "did not comment" on the allegations, the document said, and he didn't respond to an email from Corruption Currents requesting comment.
"The question of whether the conduct was criminal does not have to be considered again," the document said. FIFA, Teixiera and Havelange repaid millions of dollars of the alleged bribes to end the prosecutor's investigation, it said.
A trial in Swiss court in 2008 cleared former ISL executives of fraud tied to the company's collapse, but three of them were convicted on other charges.
FIFA said in a statement it was "pleased" the documents were now public, and noted that president Joseph "Sepp" Blatter was not involved in the case, or in recent delays in the document's publication. Blatter, who succeeded Havelange as president in 1998, himself tweeted his satisfaction with the release of the ISL document.
Top officials at FIFA, however, did appear to know about the alleged bribes, according to the document, which said "various members of the executive committee had received money," and that a CHF1 million payment to Havelange was "mistakenly directly transferred to a FIFA account."
Havelange resigned from the International Olympic Committee in December 2011 for health reasons ahead of a ruling from the body's executive board on whether he'd taken bribes from ISL. Teixiera couldn't be reached. He stepped down in March from the Brazilian soccer federation, citing health and personal problems.
A spokesman for the Brazilian soccer federation at its Rio de Janiero offices declined to comment, saying it was a matter involving the two former executives.
The release of the ISL document was a key plank in Blatter's reform proposals following his re-election to a fourth term as president of FIFA. He won unopposed after his chief rival, Mohamed bin Hammam, dropped from the race amid bribery allegations. Hammam, who has denied the allegation, was eventually banned for life by FIFA and is awaiting the results of an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Blatter also hired Swiss anti-corruption expert Mark Pieth to oversee a reform committee, which announced its plans in March and got FIFA's Congress to approve a code of conduct in May.
Pieth had criticized FIFA's handling of past scandals in his initial report. He said Wednesday to Bloomberg News he's "very happy" the report is now out. "Now the world's public has a chance to look at it and form its own opinion," he said.
More coverage of the document's release is available here, here and here.

How-To Document
Updated: Nov 2009 for SQL Developer 2.1
How to use the SQL Worksheet to enter SQL and SQL*Plus commands
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
Oracle SQL Developer provides a SQL Worksheet that you can use to query data, by writing simple or complex SQL statements. In this How-To, we look at the most basic of these, select all the data in a table, and restricting this query by reducing the columns or rows you retrieve.
2. Software Requirements
3. Browse Your Data
3.1. Write a Select Statement
Once you have a database connection, you are ready to browse the schema, query and modify data.
3.2. Retrieve Columns
Instead of selecting all the columns from a table, you can itemize them, selecting only the data you require.
3.3. Retrieve Rows
Often you want to restrict the number of records returned. You add a Where Clause to do this. These can be complex and involved. We will start with the most basic.
4. Use SQL*Plus commands
The SQL Worksheet allows you to use a selection of SQL*Plus commands. SQL*Plus commands have to be interpreted by the SQL Worksheet before being passed to the database. Some commands are not supported and are hence ignored and are not sent to the Oracle database. For a list of unsupported SQL*Plus commands, see SQL Developer on OTN.

RGDX IPOed at $7. It closed at $8 on the first day. It is a much better company now with proven management and profitable acquisitions. It will not be long before it reaches an all time high.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
obviously their new PR sends a clear message: we have this test that is providing immediate expansion, is growing sales, and is reimbursed by Medicare. What more could you ask for? Well the insurance companies are backing the testing as well. Looks like a winner for the short and long term. Breaking out over the high - there is no resistance, and if owners of this micro float hold their shares, we fly.
I am holding a large CORE position and I totally agree w/ you but my prudent side says I must take some chips off the table as she moves higher..after all many of these shares are now doubles and triples, for Gods sake my .75 shares are quads right??!
Low float stock with guaranteed revenue--buy it and hold on---a real no brainer
It IPOed at $7 and had about 10 million shares outstanding. Now there are 3 times as many shares and 1/3 the stock price so it is a wash. I will give you that the company is in much better shape now.

Google Chrome extension exploits Spotify with MP3 download feature
Music streaming service is working on a fix
A GOOGLE CHROME extension is enabling users of Spotify to download music from the streaming service for free, exploting the firm's offline mode feature.
The Chrome plug-in, called Downloadify and created by Dutch developer Robin Aldenhoven, was discovered on Tuesday, and allows users to download MP3 files from the Spotify web player app. Although it has since been removed from the Chrome Web Store, with Google saying that the plug-in does not comply with its terms of service, it's still available via other sources on the web.
Tweakers.net says Downloadify, which still works, takes advantage of the fact that music on the Spotify web player is not encrypted. While we wouldn't recommend trawling the web to get your hands on the app due to its legality, or lack thereof, the website also revealed that it works quite simply, downloading a full, DRM-free MP3 file of the track when a user clicks to play a track.
A Spotify spokesperson told The INQUIRER that it is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, although it was unable to say when this will be rolled out.
We're assuming that it will be released rather quickly though, as the exploit technically means that somebody could sign up for a one month Spotify subscription before downloading all of the music they want from the service and cancelling their plan.
Spotify could face a backlash from record labels over royalty payments and the fact that the music that they own can be downloaded illegally, but this has yet to appear. µ

Today, pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training for the Washington Nationals. Instead of linking you to an obligatory "those are the greatest four words" (apparently not considering "tests came back negative" or "s/he's not pressing charges") column, take a look at this take, which manages to have it both ways in terms of insight and sentimentality.
January and February are all about Top 10/20/50/100 lists in the Prospect World (believe it or not, I didn't post about every one I came across). Yesterday, I came across an interesting analysis about the correlation between Success and Failure Rates of Top MLB Prospects. There's a lot to look at but kudos has to go to Scott McKinney for putting in the time to do this. My favorite conclusion, BTW:
The success rate of prospects (both position player and pitchers) is nearly flat and relatively undifferentiated for players ranked 41-100, and especially those ranked 61-100
Why do I like that so much? Because it supports my belief that any idiot can pick the Top 50, but the real test is beyond the cream of the crop.
My last pick for something to read comes from a blog in New York. As lawyer-turned-blogger Craig Calcaterra puts it: "There's so much stuff written about the Yankees, but much of it is either insane hype or unwarranted pessimism." This blog, he goes on to say, is one of the few that doesn't veer in either direction.
It's the latter part of that quote that I can relate to, because it reminds me of something that I was told about complaints back when I was a graduate teaching fellow in J-school: It's a reverse Bell curve, the A-minuses campaigning for A's or F's campaigning for a D-minus. Reading this column, I'm starting to wonder if that theory may also apply about the fans of teams as they approach 100 wins or 100 losses.
8 Responses to "Morning Reading"
Now, now, you'll never be JimBow's Facebook buddy with talk like that!
I saw a similar sentiment a few months ago, after the first 50 picks it's all about scouting and player development. The good news was truly about 18-20 months a go when Rizzo got the Lerners to double the scouting and player development staff. Either that, or Kasten finally wore them done after a couple of years of haranguing.
The Royals guy seems a tad pessimistic given that his team has an over abundance of top pitching prospects … but I suppose for those fans a dose of reality might be necessary. Still, I can't see how that franchise can fail to produce a consistent winner for a few years.
peric: McKinney's study period ended with the 2003 BA list; It doesn't cover anything beyond that, due to the lag time in Draft->Signed->Ranked->Majors for +/-3 years.
This was a neutral study, imo, simply to see how the numbers ran out given the perameters.
FWIW, the per-team average success rate over the study period was 27.9%.
Nice piece of work from McKinney. Taking the 'best of the best' (BA's top-100) over 13 years & using WAR to derive a general success-failure rate; I'd be even more curious to see how many of the 'successful' position players stayed at their original positions beyond the initial measurement period – That may place some weight on Defensive skills vs. Offensive prowess.
Why do I like that so much? Because it supports my belief that any idiot can pick the Top 50, but the real test is beyond the cream of the crop.
This is a awesome comment. Andy Petite was a 26th round pick , Mike Piazza was a 50th round pick or later as a favor. The scouts that pick these guys are great , and player development plays a major role
Look all I am saying is for example our nationals have to take the time to develop the guys that are bonus babies, but dont overlook the diamonds in the rough. Every organization has some , and boy that guy picked in the later rounds could pay off just as much or more then the guy picked in the 2nd round

Nets fans have seen it too many times before.
A contentious series had the Nets ahead by eight points with under three minutes to play, but not even Joe Jesus could save them. Instead, Jesus Shuttlesworth scorched the Nets.
Allen's timely three-pointer capped a rigorous comeback in a 96-94 Miami Heat win. The loss ends the Nets' season in five games. The roller-coaster season ended at the bottom, though.
The Nets led, 91-83, and were shooting the ball at a high-clip. As has happened before in these playoffs, Brooklyn went ice cold in the final minutes. Allen put the Heat ahead, 93-91, after a wide-open Mario Chalmers passed up a shot and created space for Allen. Just like the 2012-13 NBA Finals, Allen showed "incredible focus" in burying the triple.
"When we met the first day for (Brooklyn) prep, the No. 1 key in this series was great mental stability," Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra said. "You have to have that over the course of the game, course of the series."
LeBron James finished the game with 29 points and nine rebounds while Dwyane Wade scored 28. Most of LeBron's points came in the second half with the game on the line. The Nets, however, picked the worst time to struggle on a night where they seemed destined to win.
"We thought this was a game we should have won," Joe Johnson said.
Johnson played like the NBA's best player, draining jumpers from all areas of the floor. The All-Star forward scored 34 points on 15-for-23 shooting and pulled down seven rebounds. On the last play of the game, though, he could not get off a shot. With 4.4 seconds left, Johnson received the ball and dribbled through the paint. The Heat swiped the ball out of his hands, and time trickled away with the ball lying at Johnson's feet.
"Give the Heat credit," Jason Kidd said. "They were attacking there in the fourth quarter. We were attacking. Both teams were attacking. They made plays, they made shots and we didn't."
The loss raises all sorts of questions about the Nets' future. Paul Pierce was non-commital about returning to Brooklyn, Kevin Garnett skipped out on his media obligations, and the team's franchise player in Deron Williams endured another rough season. Aside from Johnson, very much is still unclear about the Nets next season.
Brook Lopez is slated to return from yet another foot injury, which limited him to just 17 games in the 2013 portion of the season. Shaun Livingston, Pierce, Garnett, and center Andray Blatche are all unknowns at this point.
While questions about the roster remain, Pierce summed up the Nets' emotions about next year.
"Emotions are too fresh right now," Pierce said.

As we ease into the awards season, very little pressure is put on the Golden Globes to deliver stellar beauty looks. It's nowhere as adventurous as the Met Ball and less glamorous than the Oscars, but it often gives celebrities the chance to test drive a look, and if last night was any indication of what's to come, we can expect lots of nude lips, dark liner and twisted updos this season. Here are some of our favorites from the night.
Rachel Weisz
A black dress almost begs for a statement lip but we were pleased by Rachel's unexpected berry hued choice. It was warm and fresh without being too spring-y and bright.
Image: WENN.com
Kerry Washington
We have a major beauty crush on Kerry Washington, especially during the recent Django press tour, and she didn't disappoint us last night. Her light and airy dress needed a strong beauty look and her pin-straight locks and unexpected eyeshadow did the trick.
Image: WENN.com
Lucy Liu
We anticipate that Liu won't be landing on many best dressed lists for that dress but she wins best braid from us, hands down. Fishtails are easy to recreate at home, if you have enough hair, but if you need a boost, try clip-in extensions under the crown to add extra length.
Image: WENN.com
Jennifer Lawrence
Brown smoky eyes have been sweeping the red carpets for a few years now but Jennifer's warm version might just be our favorite. Paired with a twisted updo, one of the best we might add, her look was event appropriate but not too harsh on her youthful skin.
Image: WENN.com
Ariel Winter
Younger starlets always have the added challenge of looking age appropriate at red carpet events but the Modern Family star did it right with her pretty headband and glossy pink lips.
Image: Daniel Tanner/WENN.com
Kate Hudson
The main beauty trend to come out of the Globes was the Bardot-favorite look: nude lips with heavily lined eyes. Kate was just one of the stars rocking the look and it was an ideal match with her relaxed hair and embellished dress.
Image: WENN.com
Naomi Watts
Faux bobs are a bit tricky to do at home but the payoff is great. For women with mid-length hair, you can test drive the retro bob of your dreams by mimicking Naomi's pinned under style.
Image: WENN.com
Marion Cotillard
While this is definitely not the most daring look of the night, we love how Marion matched her cheeks with her lips. Look for a product that does double-duty if you're looking to recreate this look at home.
Image: WENN.com
Jessica Chastain
We could write pages and pages on the color of Jessica's hair because it's the perfect golden ginger that's near-impossible to recreate. She showcased it off perfectly here allowing the soft waves to pick up and reflect the light.
Image: WENN.com
Emily Blunt
There has been a lot of chatter about Emily's new lighter hair but her color actually softens up this slicked back bun adding dimension to an otherwise boring style.

Disparities in the use of mental health services, including outpatient care and psychotropic drug prescriptions, persist for black and Latino children, reports a new study in Health Services Research.
"Children's mental illness is very predictive of poor outcomes later in life—socially, educationally, income-wise and employment-wise," said lead author Benjamin Lê Cook, Ph.D., senior scientist at the Center for Multicultural Mental Health Research at the Cambridge Health Alliance and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. "There is a real need to understand why there are these big differences in mental health care for kids."
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
Cook and his colleagues looked at data from a nationally representative sample of over 30,000 youth ages 5 to 21 from the 2002-2003 and the 2006-2007 Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (MEPS). They analyzed the data for the use of outpatient mental health care, use of psychiatric drugs and overall mental health care.

The Guide to Student Life is divided into multiple sections:
- A Tradition of Excellence gives an overview of the institution including the history, mission, slogan, goals, values, and vision statement.
- Campus Information exposes students to a fairly comprehensive list of experiences and services offered by the College to help them succeed academically and socially.
- College Policy encompasses selected policies and procedures most relevant to students; including a subsection for Residence Life as well as Campus Activities and Student Organizations. Included are the non-academic policies and procedures of Young Harris College every student is responsible for knowing, observing, and complying with.
- Student Conduct System focuses on the process followed if a student violates College policy or, in turn, feels that his/her rights have been violated. This section describes in detail the student conduct process as well as student development opportunities in policy revision and enforcement.

Disney has been cranking out the animated films for years becoming easily one of the premieres in the industry. That doesn't mean they haven't had their duds from time to time, but more often than not they deliver. Their latest, Frozen showcased some pretty funny trailers and looked to be a return to form, but does it have the elements needed to be a success or will it be left out in the cold?
Frozen follows a young girl who teams up with a rugged mountain man and his loyal reindeer on a journey to find her sisters whose powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter. For all intents and purposes Disney has crafted the perfect, well Disney movie with this latest release. It returns the musical form not seen in sometime, but beyond that falls a bit flat. To be clear this isn't a bad movie or anything it just doesn't have those memorable characters and the punch to drive it home like they normally deliver. The story is simple and works fine, but never really offers all that much urgency as they are trying to imply as well as take some frustrating direction at times. There are numerous moments that just do not make sense in relation to why they are stuck in this castle but it would have been more easily forgivable if there was more happening. The first half of the film is pretty much just reasons to throw a new song in and never really goes anywhere. When it finally gets to the real aspect of the story things start feeling a bit rushed but do pick up a bit. As mentioned before the film sets up aspects that are meant to be urgent, but never feel that way. There is no actual villain to be concerned with nor does it ever feel like there is something to lose. Visually this is a beautiful film. The animation has that classic look while still trying to give some originality to it. The vibrant colors and look of the icy world make for wonderful eye candy and enough to make this film worth checking out.
This is one of those Disney films that the hardcore fans will probably love thanks to its return to the musical classic feel, but others are likely to be hit and miss. With the exception of the snowman there are very few characters that will stand out in your memory.

PRonlinepages.com in Puerto Rico Is the New Alternative to Yellow Pages Online Directory
PRonlinepages.com, the most beneficial online directory in Puerto Rico, is offering local business owners a new alternative to Yellow Pages advertising.
Puerto Rico, July 2014
The online advertising world can be confusing to many business owners looking to advertise online. People are often overwhelmed with the variety of different options, and in today's tech-crazed world filled with intimidating jargon, it can be a real headache. Not to mention, pay-per-click, banners, and online marketing can all cost a pretty penny. However, a local online directory in Puerto Rico, Prolinepages.com, is thriving with success by offering local business owners a simple, yet efficient way to advertise their business online. This new and effective way of online advertising helps business owners reach more customers than ever before.

Purpose. To report clinical results of switching to latanoprost therapy in patients with deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus caused by travoprost and bimatoprost.
Methods. Prospective, clinical, observational case reports. Four patients presented with eyelid changes giving the eye a sunken eye appearance; two were being treated with travoprost and two with bimatoprost. Both patients on bimatoprost and one of the patients on travoprost therapy were switched to latanoprost while the eyelid sign was evident. The other patient discontinued the travoprost therapy for 4 months and switched to latanoprost therapy 1 month later, i.e., 5 months after discontinuing travaprost therapy. The physical changes in the eyelids were documented by photography and the intraocular pressure by Goldmann applanation tonometry.
Results. Three patients had a resolution of the sunken eye appearance 2 to 3 months after switching to latanoprost. The one patient who switched to latanoprost after recovery of the sunken eye had no recurrence during a 6 months follow-up period. There were no significant changes in the intraocular pressure in any of the subjects.
Conclusions. A deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus is a complication of prostaglandin F2α analogs. However, this side effect may be less common with latanoprost and eyes with this side effect caused by travoprost or bimatoprost may tolerate latanoprost therapy.
Prostaglandin F2α (PG) analogs are widely used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension because they offer a greater degree of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and fewer systemic side effects than β blockers do. Conjunctival hyperemia, trichiasis, and hyperpigmentation of the iris and eyelids are the common side effects of this therapy.1 A deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus or an appearance of a sunken eye is also a complication but it is not adequately recognized because of its low incidence and difficulty in identifying it when it occurs bilaterally. Peplinski et al.2 were the first to report this side effect in three patients on bimatoprost therapy in 2004. Each of their patients was receiving unilateral treatment, and the appearance was referred to a "sunken" eye, because the eye appeared sunken into the orbit compared with the contralateral eye. This report was followed by a number of similar reports on the side effects of bimatoprost.3,4 Yang et al.5 reported two cases of a sunken eye associated with travoprost therapy in 2009.
These reports have suggested that the this sign will resolve several months to several years after discontinuing the eye drops.2–5 However, stopping the therapy means that the IOP reduction may not be maintained, and there is a possibility of further deterioration of the visual fields.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the sunken eye appearance can be reduced by discontinuation of the offending prostaglandin analog or by switching to 0.005% latanoprost (Xalatan, Pfizer Inc., New York, NY).
Case 1 was a 78-year-old man with newly diagnosed normal tension glaucoma bilaterally. His untreated IOPs were 15 to 17 mmHg in the both eyes. There was no history of PG therapy. After 3 months of 0.004% travoprost (Travatan-ZTM, Alcon Japan Limited, Tokyo, Japan) therapy, the patient's family pointed out that his face had changed and that both his eyes appeared sunken in. Two months after discontinuing the drug, the patient's deepened upper eyelid sulcus recovered, and the patient's family agreed that his face had returned to normal. Photographs of the eyelids are presented in Fig. 1.
To treat the patient's severe visual field disturbance, latanoprost was started 5 months after discontinuing the travoprost, and after the sunken eye appearance was completely resolved. The sunken eyelid appearance did not occur in the 6 months that the patient was followed up after the medication change (Fig. 1c), and the patient's IOP on latanoprost was 11 to 12 mm Hg bilaterally. There was no darkening of the periorbital skin or changes in iris color noted during our observation period which extended for 6 months after the treatment was adjusted; however, the conjunctival hyperemia was slightly lessened after commencing the latanoprost therapy.
A 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with normal tension glaucoma in her right eye. Her untreated IOPs were 15 to 16 mm Hg in the right eye and 20 mm Hg in the left eye. She was prescribed latanoprost and timolol 0.5% and had good IOP control ranging from 11 to 13 mm Hg for 3 years. Unfortunately, a latanoprost-induced superficial punctate keratopathy and conjunctival hypermia developed, and the patient was switched to travoprost and carteolol hydrochloride 2% therapy.
After 6 months on this therapy, the patient complained that her right eye had gradually sunk into the orbit. We switched her to 0.005% latanoprost/0.5% timolol fixed combination therapy (Xalacom, Pfizer Inc., New York, NY), and the patient's eye returned to normal after 3 months (Fig. 2a to c). There were no iris color changes and darkening of the periorbital skin noted during the observation period that extended for 3 months after she was commenced on the latanoprost/timolol fixed combination therapy. The patient's IOP was 12 mm Hg in her right eye, and mild superficial punctate keratopathy and conjunctival hyperemia were observed at the final examination.
Case 3 was a 69-year-old woman with exfoliation glaucoma and exotropia in her left eye. She had been using topical 0.03% bimatoprost (Lumigan, Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA), 0.5% timolol, and 1.0% brinzolamide in the left eye for 6 months at the time of our examination. She had not used any other PG. Her IOP was 16 to 20 mm Hg in the left eye. The patient's family pointed out hyperpigmentation and a sunken left eye.
We switched to latanoprost/timolol fixed combination therapy. Photographs of the eyelids are presented in Fig. 3a to c. The sunken eye was almost completely resolved 2 months after switching to latanoprost. Conjunctival hyperemia and changes in the iris color were not noticed during our observation period; however, the darkening of periorbital skin was slightly lessened after switching to the latanoprost therapy. The patient's IOP was 15 to 17 mm Hg in the left after latanoprost/timolol fixed combination therapy.
Case 4 was a 62-year-old woman with normal tension glaucoma bilaterally. Her untreated IOPs were 14 to 16 mm Hg in the both eyes. She had not used any PG. Two months after beginning bimatoprost, the patient complained of pressure on both eyes causing pain and a feeling that both eyelids were sunk in. Her IOPs were 11 to 14 mm Hg in the right eye and 12 to 14 mm Hg in the left. We switched her to latanoprost therapy, and confirmed that the patient did not have any signs and symptoms after 3 months (Fig. 4a to c). Conjunctival hyperemia and changes in iris color were not noted during our observation period; however, the patient developed a slight darkening of the periorbital skin in her lower eyelids after she was placed on the latanoprost. Her IOP was then 12 mm Hg in both eyes at the final examination.
Our findings showed that switching from travoprost and bimatoprost to latanoprost for patients who had a deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus led to a resolution of the sunken appearance. Importantly, the IOP remained within the acceptable level after the latanoprost therapy. Thus, the switching not only improved the appearance of the eyes but also maintained the IOP in an acceptable range. The results of our study also showed that the sunken eye appearance may be a side effect of all PGs but the occurrence may be different for each PG.
In our hospital database, we found this "sunken" eye complication in two patients of 77 (2.6%) on travoprost and four patients (two other patients under observation) of 86 patients (4.7%) on bimatoprost. Therefore, although the absolute risk remains low, the relative risk of developing this side effect with bimatoprost compared with travoprost is significant.
There have been no reports of this sunken eye appearance in patients using latanoprost until 2010 or in tafluprost 0.0015%, which has only recently been put on the market in European and Asian countries. We suspect that there may be racial differences in the incidence of the sunken eye appearance. It is generally accepted that Asians have puffy eyelids, and the sunken eye appearance will be easier to detect than in Caucasians, who have deep set eyes and thin eyelids.
What causes this complication? One reason suggested by Yang et al.5 was that PGs decompose the collagen fibers around the eyelids. Originally, it was believed that PGs reduce the IOP by increasing the uveoscleral outflow by remodeling the extracellular matrix that consists of collagen types I, III, IV, fibronectin, laminin, and hyaluronan.6 Yang et al.5 hypothesized that another reason for this effect was that PGs cause fatty degeneration of the Mueller muscle and levator aponeurosis because this complication is also observed in eyes with blepharoptosis.
This hypothesis is not consistent with our findings because the degree of ptosis in our patients was little changed after resolution of the sunken eye appearance. We suggest that the major reason for this complication is the PG-induced lipolysis. Yang et al.5 also assumed that PGs cause fatty degeneration and fat absorption without providing clear evidence for this claim. In the report by Yang et al., however, one patient developed a "baggy lower eyelid" appearance suggesting a fat herniation into the lower eyelid after discontinuing travoprost. Filippopoulos et al.3 also reported that some patients had a lower eyelid baggy appearance after discontinuing bimatoprost. We believe that these phenomena support our hypothesis.
However, there are conflicting reports on whether PGs regulate lipolysis. As well as insulin and catecholamines, especially the prostaglandin E2 regulate lipolysis by decreasing c-AMP through EP-3 receptors.7 Jaworski et al.7 reported that adipose-specific phospholipase A2 plays a major role in modulating adipose tissue lipolysis by regulating PGE2 levels, as a result, ablation of adipose-specific phospholipase A2 in mice prevented obesity induced by feeding a high fat diet, or by leptin deficiency. The binding affinity for each of the PG receptors has been reported,8 but there have been no studies on the blocking activity for each of these PG receptors. If travoprost and bimatoprost block the activity of the EP-3 receptor, this could explain the side effects that are observed.
Recently Park et al.9 reported new pathological findings in the mechanism for this side effect. Suggestive fat atrophy, such as clumped nuclei of adipocytes, was observed in the PG-treated eyelids at biopsy. Furthermore, they investigated the cellular density of orbital fat tissue in patients taking bimatoprost, travoprost, and latanoprost who had developed sunken eyes. They concluded that there was a statistically significant difference between the cellular density of the bimatoprost and travoprost groups when compared to that of untreated groups (p < 0.001). However, the cellular density of the latanoprost group (p = 0.75) was not significantly different.
These results reinforce our suggestion that this side effect may be less common with latanoprost. The mechanism of fat atrophy remains somewhat unclear, but they speculated that this might be due to the effect of PGF2α, which prevents adipocyte differentiation.10
The reversal of the deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus after discontinuation of PGs, or changing to latanoprost may be due to the removal of, or decrease in, the aforementioned inhibitory effect; this allows adipogenesis to recommence. We speculate that these four different prostaglandins may have completely different occurrence rates of this side effects and time course may be different in it.
Further investigations are needed to reach a definite explanation for our observations.

Verizon is acquiring the Intel Media division, both companies said in press release Tuesday morning. The deal includes the troubled OnCue TV service, which is a so-called "over-the-top" television service developed by Intel designed to compete with cable and satelitte TV offerings.
"The transaction will accelerate the availability of next-generation video services, both integrated with Verizon FiOS fiber-optic networks and delivered 'over the top' to any device," said the statement.
Intel Media includes 350 employees, and they will continue to be based in Santa Clara with the current management team, which includes corporate VP and GM Erik Huggers. He helped launch the division in 2012, but it has struggled to negotiate content deals with media companies reluctant to help a potential rival to current cable and satellite TV partners.
"The OnCue platform and team will help Verizon bring next-generation video services to audiences who increasingly expect to view content when, where and how they want it. Verizon already has extensive video content relationships, fixed and wireless delivery networks, and customer relationships in both the home and on mobile," said Lowell McAdam, chairman and CEO of Verizon. "This transaction provides us with the capabilities to build a powerful, capitally efficient engine for future growth and innovation. We will have the opportunity to enhance, expand, accelerate and integrate our delivery of video products and services to better serve audiences on a wide array of devices."
No purchase price was attached to the deal, although it was expected to be somewhere in between the $200 million Verizon had been offering and the $500 million Intel had been asking for the service. The deal is expected to close in this first quarter of 2014.

Revenge of the Anti-Romney
After interminable months of campaigning, debates, and roller-coaster polling, the first official vote of the 2012 presidential race is in -- and boy, is it a doozy. Ames straw poll winner Michele Bachmann placed second-to-last, while former juggernaut Rick Perry performed so badly he's canceled upcoming events and is said to be on the verge of dropping out. Meanwhile, perennial laughingstock Rick Santorum, consolidating the support hemorrhaging from Perry, Bachmann, and an ad-blitzed Newt Gingrich, rocketed past the youth- and independent-backed Ron Paul and, with 99% of the vote counted, is separated from Mitt Romney by four votes out of ~120,000 -- by far the closest result in caucus history. As the shaken field contemplates the path ahead through Romney firewall New Hampshire, conservative South Carolina, Florida, Super Tuesday, and beyond, President Obama staged a quiet redux of his own dramatic caucus win four years ago, a dry run for the looming general election. And as for powerhouse Buddy Roemer? Don't worry -- his team is ready to do battle with evil.
Scoops, Swoops, and Perry's "Oops."
Texas Governor and GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry is booked on all the major morning shows tomorrow, and with good reason. After two months of gaffes, impolitic stands, and bizarre speeches that quickly waned his once-strong odds of winning the Republican nomination, Perry went into Wednesday's CNBC debate sorely needing a win... only to deliver a tortuous, cringingly forgetful attempt [video] to recall just which three cabinet departments he'd vowed to abolish, a stunning failure political scientist Larry Sabato deemed "the most devastating moment of any modern primary debate" in his memory. While Perry's slow-motion flameout has boosted the fortunes of dark horse candidate Herman Cain, the unlikely challenger is facing troubles of his own in a volley of sexual harassment claims -- an oddly ineffective scandal Cain is doing his best to (somewhat dubiously) disavow. If Cain collapses, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich may reap the benefits, but his moribund campaign has issues of its own. Pawlenty, Bachmann, Perry, Christie, Cain, Gingrich... the base is loathe to rally round him, but after so many failed, flawed, or forfeited challenges, can anyone topple Mitt Romney?

Jousting with windmills
The question begged to be asked.
Why did the owners of St. Joseph Vineyard, located only 30 miles from Cleveland, even consider making the most challenging of all wines, the elegant Pinot Noir?
Art Pietrzyk smiled, clearly loving the question as much as his answer. "Because I read Don Quixote," he said winking at his wife and winemaking partner, Doreen. "Someone told us it was impossible."
That's all the full-time electrical engineer needed to hear. Today, their boutique winery produces 2,000 cases of wine annually and is especially known for its Pinot Noir.
Art and Doreen purchased the Thompson land parcel 25 years ago. Sensing their location within the Grand River Valley AVA had special potential, the pair delved into research. Both attended viticultural classes at OSU and also spent time in Burgundy. At one point, Art slept outside in his vineyards to understand the flow of the nighttime air.
The winery's vineyard is on the escarpment of the Grand River. It benefits from Lake Erie's maritime influence, while the river valley traps cool air and allows warm air to come up the ridge. The rocky loam soil left behind by glaciers offers exceptional drainage and radiates heat.
Opting for no irrigation, the Pietrzyks dry-farm their vineyard. The less water a vine encounters, the more concentrated is the fruit it bears. "If the Pinot grapes get too much water, they plump up with it," Art explained.
At harvest, the grapes are selectively handpicked. If some clusters aren't ready — readiness is determined by suppleness, flavor and acidity level rather than by the grape's sugar content — those grapes stay behind for longer hang time.
The Pietrzyks' meticulous vineyard approach begs for a second question. How good is their Pinot Noir?
Four words: grand, singular, important and inspiring.
Grand enough to be included in a 1997 Grand Tasting of Burgundy with renowned wine authority Clive Coates; singular enough to win gold, silver and bronze medals in international competitions; important enough to be the only Ohio winery included in the recently released John Winthrop Haeger's North American Pinot Noir published by University of California. Haeger describes the St. Joseph 1999 vintage as tantalizing and suggesting special potential for the winery.
And inspiring enough for Art and Doreen to have just planted a second vineyard devoted to Pinot Noir.
We're glad these winemakers took on the Grand River windmills.
St. Joseph Vineyard wines are available at Heinen's. The winery is located on Madison Road in Thompson. For more information, visit www.saintjosephvineyard.com.
