A Cardiac Catheterization is an x-ray that uses dye to see how the blood flows through the heart veins. X-rays are taken to look for blockages. If a blockage is seen, then a treatment plan is developed with your doctor. Aorta Aortic valve Pulmonic valve Left atrium Mitral valve Right atrium Left ventricle Tricuspid valve Right ventricle CHAMBERS AND Septum VALVES OF THE HEART To upper body To lower body From upper body To lungs From lungs Left ventricle From lower body 2 There are a few reasons why you may need a Cardiac Catheterization. You may have had shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or irregular heartbeats. You may have had no symptoms, but your doctor may have detected other signs of heart problems. Some patients may need to check on how well the heart is pumping and how well the valves are opening and closing. Cardiac catheterization is a test that finds these heart problems. The Cardiovascular System The heart has four chambers that pump blood to all parts of the body. A wall, called a septum, divides the heart into a right and left side. Each side is further divided into an upper chamber called the atrium and a lower chamber called the ventricle. Valves separate these chambers. The valves are like one-way swinging doors that open and close moving the blood in one direction through the heart. Blood is pumped from the heart through the body bringing oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. The blood then returns to the right side of the heart. From there, the blood is pumped to the lungs, where it is receives a fresh supply of oxygen. From the lungs the blood returns to the left side of the heart, where it is pumped out to other parts of your body. This happens thousands of times a day. At the same time blood is pumped to the coronary arteries. Coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. Right ventricle BLOOD FLOW THROUGH Why You May Need a Cardiac Catheterization? THE HEART VESSELS What is Coronary Artery Disease? Coronary Artery Disease occurs when fat and cholesterol build up on the inside of your coronary arteries. This buildup narrows or completely blocks the inside of the artery. Blood cannot flow freely through the arteries. This may cause chest pain or a heart attack. Plaque buildup in the coronary artery blocking blood flow and oxygen to the heart Damage and death to heart tissue shown in shaded area PLAQUE BUILDUP IN CORONARY ARTERIES For more information on the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, as well as other programs and services of the Brigham and Women's Hospital Cardiovascular Center, view a virtual tour online at http://www.brighamandwomens.org 3 PREPARING FOR YOUR HEART CATHETERIZATION The Week Before Your Catheterization It is important to tell your doctor if you are allergic to x-ray contrast dye. Your doctor can give you medication to prevent an allergic reaction like a rash, difficulty breathing, or nausea and vomiting. Your Doctor Visit Before Your Catheterization You will need to visit your doctor to have the following done: A review of your health history A physical exam Blood tests EKG If you live outside the Boston area, your local doctor can do these tests and send the results to us. Blood Thinning Medication It is important to call your doctor or warfarin manager if you are taking blood-thinning medications, such as Coumadin®, Jantoven®, warfarin, or Lovenox®, to tell them you will be having a cardiac catheterization. Call your doctor or warfarin manager five days before your catheterization, or call us at (617) 525-7339 or (617) 525-9515 for instructions on how to take your blood-thinning medication. Most patients are asked to stop taking warfarin or change to a different medication until their catheterization is complete. If you take aspirin, keep taking it. If you take Plavix®, keep taking it. Patients who take blood-thinning medications will have a blood test done the morning of their catheterization. Planning Your Travel To and From the Hospital It is important to have someone drive you to and from the hospital. The medication used to help you relax can make you drowsy. You will not be allowed to drive yourself home or take a cab or bus alone. CONFIRM YOUR APPOINTMENT Date: On the business day before your procedure, call the cardiology scheduling office at (617) 732-7226 between 12:00 and 3:00 p.m. to confirm the time you need to arrive at the hospital. 4 The Night Before Your Catheterization Food and Drink DO DON'T Eat normally before midnight. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight except a small sip of water with your medications. Medication DO DON'T Take all of your usual medications. Take a full dose of aspirin, 325mg. total. Take Plavix® if prescribed. Do not take blood thinning medication like Coumadin®, Jantoven®, or warfarin for 3 days before your procedure. Some patients may be placed on Lovenox® after stopping Coumadin® for 3 days. Do not stop taking Plavix®. If You Have Diabetes DO DON'T Take your usual dose of insulin the night before, including Lantus insulin. If you take morning insulin, take only half of your usual dose. If you take diabetes medication by mouth, do not take your diabetes medication the night before or the morning of your procedure. Our nursing staff will check your blood sugar when you come to the hospital. MY SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS Bring along a current list of your medications on the day of your heart catheterization. 5 ON THE DAY OF YOUR HEART CATHETERIZATION Arriving at the Hospital On the day of your heart catheterization you will begin by going to the entrance at 75 Francis Street. Go to the information desk, and they will direct you to the admitting office. From the admitting office you will be escorted to the Shapiro Family Center. From the Shapiro Family Center the admitting staff will bring you to the cardiovascular recovery room. Your family will be asked to stay in the Shapiro Family Center while the nursing staff prepares you for your procedure. When you are ready for your procedure, your family will rejoin you in the recovery room until it is time for your catheterization. 6 In the Cardiovascular Recovery Room Preparing for Your Catheterization Changing into a Hospital Gown Once in the recovery room, you will be asked to use the restroom and change into a hospital gown. All of your clothing will be placed into a hospital bag with your name and medical record number on it. Your clothing bag will be placed in a locked, secure area during your procedure. Please do not wear jewelry and leave all money and credit cards at home or with your family. Getting your IV In the recovery room you will have an intravenous (IV) line started in your arm or hand. The IV line will be used to give you fluids and medications before, during, and after your procedure. Preparing the Arterial Area An area on your groin or wrist will be shaved and cleaned. Removing the hair lowers the risk of infection. Again, please remember not to wear any jewelry on your arms and hands. Meeting Your Recovery Room Nurse and Doctor Reviewing your Medical History The nursing staff will ask you questions about your medical history. Signing a Consent for the Procedure The doctor or a physician assistant will explain the procedure and ask you to sign a consent before the catheterization. What Happens During Your Catheterization? A cardiac nurse will be with you during your catheterization. The nurse will meet you in the recovery room before the procedure and will answer any questions you may have before you go to the procedure room. Study and Research Opportunity The doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital are members of the faculty of Harvard Medical School. Many participate in research studies of new techniques or treatments for Cardiovascular Disease that are not yet available elsewhere. A member of the cardiovascular research team may speak with you about opportunities to participate in a research study. Participation in research is completely voluntary. Your care will not be affected in any way whether or not you decide to be part of a study. 7 DURING YOUR HEART CATHETERIZATION Waiting Areas During the procedure your family may wait in the Shapiro Family Center, located on the second floor next to the information desk. It is a comfortable waiting place with educational resources, internet access, relaxing spaces, and waiting area. The Bretholtz Center is located in the main lobby of Brigham and Women's Hospital. At the Bretholtz Center you will find Patient/Family Relations services and the Kessler Health Education Library. The Kessler Library offers: ❖ Computer workstations with internet access ❖ Laptop and phone jacks ❖ Health information • Books • eBooks • Brochures and pamphlets • Journals, newspapers, and magazines • Health education videos • CD-ROM collection • Foreign languages • Children's collections 8 ❖ Resources for people with disabilities • Adaptive computer • TTY phone • Books on tape • Braille • Books by mail Meeting the Cardiovascular Team Along with the doctor and nurse, other important members of the cardiovascular team include: • A radiology technologist, who assists in moving the x-ray table and equipment • A cardiovascular technologist, who assists with the monitoring equipment • A physician assistant or cardiovascular fellow, who is a physician in training and will assist the doctor during your procedure The Procedure Room Once you are in the procedure room, you will move onto the x-ray table. You will lie on your back with a pillow under your head. The procedure room is cold because the equipment must be in a cool area. The nurse will give you heated blankets to keep you warm. You will be asked to state your name and the name of your procedure. This is required for all medical procedures to keep our patients safe. Medication The nurse will give you medication through the IV line in your arm or hand. The medications will help you relax and make you drowsy. You will still be able to talk and follow directions, such as holding your breath. Preparation for the Catheterization A member of the cardiovascular team will begin to clean the area with a special soap. You will be asked to keep your hands by your side to help keep the area sterile and to decrease the risk of infection. A large sterile sheet will be placed over you to keep you warm and maintain a sterile area. The skin will be numbed with a local anesthetic similar to the medicine your dentist uses. Once your skin is numb, you will only feel pressure at the site during the procedure. Let the team know if you have any pain or discomfort. 9 The Catheterization Procedure A full heart catheterization is usually complete in about 30 minutes. The catheters used are similar to a large IV catheter. You will not feel pain or the catheter moving once it is in place. When the catheter is in position, a dye is injected into the catheter to form a picture of your arteries. You may feel some warmth in your neck, arms, legs, and abdomen for a few seconds as the dye is injected. At this time the doctor and radiology technologist may ask you to hold very still or take a deep breath when the table and camera move to take pictures from different angles. The x-ray picture of the dye injection creates a map of your heart arteries called an angiogram. At this time the doctor will be able to see blockages in your arteries and will discuss several methods of treatment procedures with you. Sometimes these procedures are done immediately and during the catheterization. Angioplasty An angioplasty may be recommended to treat blockages within your arteries. An angioplasty is performed when a very thin wire and a small balloon is passed across the blockage in your artery. The balloon is inflated to push the plaque apart. While the balloon is inflated, you may feel some cramping pain. This is only temporary and will go away once the balloon is deflated. After the balloon is deflated, the blockages will be smaller allowing blood to flow. Stenting Most patients who have an angioplasty also have a metal tube, or stent, placed within the artery to hold it open. These stents remain permanently in the artery after the procedure. Drug-coated Stents In the past several years, drug-coated stents have changed how angioplasties are done. Drug-coated stents release medication into the artery to prevent scarring and blockages that can reoccur inside the artery. Patients with drug-coated stents have a better chance of remaining free from chest pain for a longer time and have a 5 percent chance or less of having a repeated stent procedure done. 10 Other Procedures Other procedures can help the doctor remove large blockages or blood clots from the artery. With some blockages a special drill may be used to soften the blockages before a balloon or stent is placed. Doctors may also use a camera that takes pictures within the artery called an intravascular ultrasound, or IVUS. The IVUS camera may also take measurements within the artery. Embolic Protection Sometimes a patient's bypass arteries have blockages. The doctors at BWH may use a small filter to keep fragments of the blockages from breaking off inside the artery. A stent can then be placed in the bypass artery. New Medication You will be started on a new medication called Plavix® or Clopigrel® following your catheterization to prevent blood clots from forming within the stent. This medication is a mild blood thinner and must be taken for several months. It is important to take this medication every day. Please do not miss or skip a single dose. If you do miss a dose, take your Plavix® as soon as you can and contact your health care manager. — IMPORTANT— Do not stop taking your Plavix® or aspirin without talking to your cardiologist first. 11 AFTER YOUR HEART CATHETERIZATION Recovery Room or Stay in the Hospital Overnight After the catheterization you may go home from the recovery room or may be admitted to the hospital overnight. Your doctor will decide what is best for you depending on the outcome of your procedure. Your family is welcome to stay with you in the recovery room after the procedure. The doctor will meet with your family to discuss the treatment plan developed for you. After the Catheter is Removed The catheter will be removed from the artery following the catheterization. This part of the procedure usually is not painful, but it may be uncomfortable and will require you to lie flat on your back for four hours. The nurses will watch you carefully. They will check your blood pressure and the pulse in your feet and legs often. If the catheterization was done from an artery in your leg, you must remember not to bend your knee. The head of your bed can be raised to allow you to eat and drink. If you need to go to the bathroom during this time, you will have to use a bedpan or urinal. When the procedure site is sealed, you will be asked to walk to be sure you do not have any bleeding or swelling. If there are no complications, you will be able to go home. If the catheterization was done through the wrist or arm, you may not use that arm to eat, drink, or hold anything for several hours. 12 GOING HOME Reviewing Your Treatment Plan You will meet with the staff to review your medications and treatment plan before you leave. It is very important for you and your family to understand these instructions. Activity First Night Do not drive after your catheterization. The night of the catheterization, you should relax and have a quiet evening at home either lying down in bed or reclining in a comfortable chair. Next Morning • You may shower. • Restart your normal daily activities; slowly start to do more each day. • Do not do any strenuous activity like aerobics, running, or weight lifting until your doctor says it's OK. Caring for the Catheter Site The area where the catheter was inserted may feel and look bruised. There will be a small hole in the skin that feels sore. Once the clear dressing falls off, you can wash this area with soap and water and leave the dressing off. You can cover the small hole with a Band-Aid if that is more comfortable. You will notice a small bump under the skin that may last for several weeks. This is normal and will disappear. Call 911 or Go to the Closest Emergency Room For the following danger signs: • Your bandage becomes soaked with blood • Trouble breathing • Chest pain Call Your Doctor If you notice any bleeding, swelling, redness, bruising, or pain Your Doctor: Your Doctor's Phone Number: Your Follow-up Appointment Date/Time: 13 INFORMATION Important Phone Numbers Questions about the procedure? . . . . . . . 617-525-7339 Shapiro Family Center . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 857-307-1251 Cardiovascular Recovery Room . . . . . . . 857-307-2060 Where to Eat BWH Café Located on the second floor, near the Tower elevator Coffee Cart Located in the 45 Francis Street lobby Pat's Place Located in the Peter Bent Brigham Building at 15 Francis Street Au Bon Pain Located in the 75 Francis Street lobby The Natural Foods Café Located on the first floor of the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center Parking Options Parking in the Longwood Medical Area can be difficult due to heavy traffic.

EUGENE, Ore. - The 14th-ranked Arizona State baseball team dropped game two of its doubleheader with No. 23 Oregon, 3-1, on Saturday at PK Park in Eugene, Ore.
Joey DeMichele hit a solo home run to right field in the top of the ninth inning to cut the Ducks' deficit to two, but the Devils (16-11, 3-5) were unable to complete the late-game rally.
Kasey Coffman collected his third multi-hit game of the season with a pair of singles and Deven Marrero added a double.
Right-hander Trevor Williams (5-2) went seven innings and took the loss, striking out four while surrendering three earned runs on six hits.
The Ducks (17-8, 5-3) took a one-run lead in the bottom of the second inning on a solo home run to left field.
Williams, who threw three perfect innings in the game, was able to escape the bottom of the sixth frame unscathed after the Ducks put runners on first and second with one out.
Oregon added a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh on a solo home run and an RBI double to extend their advantage, 3-0.
ASU secured consecutive base hits with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning, but a double play in the next at-bat ended the frame for the Devils.
Oregon right-hander Jake Reed (2-2) earned the win after allowing no runs on five hits in seven and 1/3 innings.
Right-hander Robert Ravago took the mound in relief for ASU and pitched a perfect eighth inning.
The Sun Devils are set to finish their three-game series against the Ducks on Sunday at PK Park in Eugene. First pitch is set for 12 p.m. (PT) with Tim Healey and Seth Dhaenens on the call for KDUS The Fan Am 1060.

Kesha Responds to Being Yanked from Awards Show LineupShe said performance was strictly design to honor one of her "favorite songwriters of all time," and she had no intention of mentioning Dr. Luke."
Kesha Seeks Chance to Revisit Dr. Luke Lawsuit in CaliforniaKesha's lawyer is hoping he can refile accusations against Dr. Luke, giving Kesha another chance to prove her accusations in court.
Kesha Goes Deep in New Message to FansShe gets real about her personal, professional and legal struggles.
Kesha Covers Lady Gaga's 'Til It Happens To You'"I want to dedicate this song to every man, woman, child and animal that has ever been abused," Kesha said.
Zedd Talks Kesha CollaborationBack in February, Zedd sent his support to Kesha when news hit about her current legal battles, offering to produce a song.

IndexUniverse.com just released its April 2013 ETF Fund Flows data. The story validates a trend that all investors should be aware of in 2013.
Namely, that U.S. stocks are the place to be.
On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 15000 during intraday trading before finishing slightly below that mark, and the S&P 500 managed to close well above 1600. Year-to-date, the S&P is up over 13%.
That's where the profits have been, and judging by fund flows, that's where investors continue to expect the profits to be. Investors continue to put cash into U.S. exchange-traded funds.
That has caused a shakeup in the ranking of the most popular ETFs by assets.
Here are the details:
- Gold Tarnished: Investors withdrew $6.77 billion out of SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:GLD), the top gold bullion ETF. GLD ended April with a whopping 19% less in assets than it had at the end of March. I've been mentioning the risk of redemptions and cascading risk in gold funds since March, so keep an eye on this.
- Emerging Markets: The new No. 2 fund by assets is the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE:VWO) at $57.7 billion, which leapfrogged GLD despite losing assets itself. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:SPY) is tops by a lot at $132 billion AUM)
- Keeping Money In: Despite cashing out of gold and EM stock funds, investors are not throwing in the towel. Net ETF inflows totaled nearly $10 billion with U.S.-listed ETF assets up 1.6% over March to a new record of $1.49 trillion.
- Japanese Exuberance: The iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (NYSE:EWJ) continues to see big popularity thanks to Abenomics and a huge run for Japan issues in 2013. It pulled in $2.72 billion in April, making it the most popular ETF last month, and EWJ is up over 20% year-to-date.

Depression is a multifaceted disease; it cannot simply be classified as "sadness", although many people in today's society do so. Depression, whether induced by a life event or chemical imbalance, causes a wide range of emotions from an overwhelming feeling of being alone to suicidal thoughts and desires.
HelpGuide.org describes depression as follows,
"…if emptiness and despair have taken hold of your life and won't go away, you may have depression. Depression makes it tough to function and enjoy life like you once did. Just getting through the day can be overwhelming" (Smith, M.A., Saisan, M.S.W., & Segal, Ph.D., 2014).
A common approach to treating depression is through counseling and antidepressant medications. While counseling has been considered a widely effective method, with closer examination the medications have not.
According to an article written by Benjamin Schwarcz, MFT,
"In 2008, there is finally some major studies leaking into public awareness, showing that anti-depressants are far less effective than once widely believed and that for mild to moderate depression there are far more effective treatment options - including psychotherapy (talk therapy) - than anti-depressants" (Schwarcz, MFT, B., 2013).
Antidepressants have acquired a reputation for "curing" depression and have become widely sought out because of that reputation; however, as any informed consumer knows, the side effects greatly outweigh the benefits. Health Central posted that one in ten Americans take antidepressants, making it the third most common prescription drug in the US. Yet our nation is still depressed, which might lead one to the conclusion that antidepressants aren't as effective as they are promoted to be.
If a holistic approach sounds more attractive, there are a handful of herbal remedies and mind-body connection treatments that have shown to be very effective. The various herbal remedies for depression include St. John's Wort, SAMe, and Omega-3 fatty acids. The mind-body connection options offer treatments such as acupuncture, yoga or tai chi, meditation, guided imagery, massage therapy, music or art therapy, and exercise ("Alternative Medicine," 2014).

Shelby Earl
Seattle's amber-voiced indie-folk artist, Shelby Earl, wasn't born a songwriter. She became one. And in the words of NPR's Ann Powers "She writes for those of us who've been through a few things." Earl recognized from long stints in other bands, singing other people's songs, that she was moved to do more — to become the kind of generative artist she'd long admired. The break up of her band, The Hope, in 2007 began Earl's search for a role beyond being just "lead singer." It was that search, and her belief in the rewarding work of songwriting, that led Earl to quit her corporate job in 2009 and start sharing her astoundingly powerful songs. In 2011 she released her debut solo album Burn the Boats, produced by John Roderick of the Long Winters and released on Local 638 Records. The title was inspired by her stepfather telling someone that Earl had "pulled all the boats ashore and burned them" to live her dreams.

Notes & Reviews:
Berlioz spent nearly 20 years working on his "dramatic legend". The Damnation of Faust is not a traditional opera, but a unique blend of opera, song cycle, cantata and symphony. The action moves not in a linear progression, but in a dreamlike, almost cinematic manner. Today it is more popular than ever since its premiere in 1846.

Early this week I spent a few days wandering around the Millesime Bio fair in France. Billed as the world's largest biodynamic and organic wine fair, it was definitely a sight to behold. Lest anyone think that organic and biodynamic wine were a fringe movement, there were more than 800 vintners from dozens of countries showing their wares to tens of thousands of attendees. I explored a number of things at the fair, but by far my most pleasurable tasting experience was the couple of hours I spent tasting organic rosés from the Languedoc and Provence. Whereas in other areas... continue reading
My gold standard for pink wine has long been the wines of southern France, in particular Provence. Add in some of the wines of Tavel, Marsannay, and the Loire Valley, and you've pretty much covered the vast majority of what I think is the world's greatest rosé. For anyone who's not familiar with those appellations, they all have one thing in common. They're in France. Have I had good rosés from other places? Sure I have. From all over the world. We're not talking about France having a monopoly here, they're just the safest bet I know of. Or knew... continue reading
Regular readers will know that I'm a fan of everything pink when it comes to wine. Rosé is one of the most underrated and least appreciated wines by "serious" wine lovers. Food friendly, refreshing, and complex, the best rosés are among the wine world's most versatile and exciting wines. Thankfully, they are not only becoming more accepted, but increasingly popular, especially as the stigma of sickly-sweet White Zinfandel fades from the collective consciousness. One of my favorite features of the IPNC event that I am attending this week in Oregon's Willamette Valley has always been their afternoon rosé of Pinot... continue reading
About three months ago, I found myself wandering around the halls at the Vino2011 tradeshow in New York. Put on by the Italian Trade Commission, it is the largest Italian wine show outside of Italy, and an opportunity to taste an awful lot of Italian wine in a very short period of time. Sometimes when I go to such events, I have a plan to focus on certain regions, or grape varieties, but sometimes I just wander to see what catches my eye. Which is how one afternoon I ended up in the back corner of a side hall where... continue reading
When it comes to wineries I generally know I'm in for something good when I drive down a long dirt road (unsure if I'm headed in the right direction) and finally come upon some vineyards and a couple of small aluminum barns with harvest bins stacked outside. For many small winery operations, the barrel storage, the lab, the office, and the tasting room are all under one corrugated roof. I had the pleasure of winding my way down just such a road on a rainy Autumn day five years ago to arrive at the little operation that is Patton Valley... continue reading
I was poking around in my wine cellar last night, taking stock of what I might be drinking soon, now that I'm through some serious crunch time at work. In particular I was looking for some nice bottles of rosé that I might enjoy on the back porch, on those rare evenings where the summer fog doesn't make such activities tantamount to frostbite. I found some nice bottles that all had one thing in common: none of them were made in America. Most were French, some were Italian. I wouldn't have really given that much thought except for the fact... continue reading
One of my favorite punching bags in the world is the sorry state of California rosé. For some reason, winemakers just don't seem to be able to produce the beautifully dry, crisp, tart rosés that I have come to expect from southern France, southern Italy, and northern Spain. These Mediterranean wines are the benchmark for rosé, and most American wines fall quite short. Which is why I'm so enthusiastic when I discover pink wines that are made well in this country. And when they're made of exotic grape varieties, so much the better! If you gave me three guesses as... continue reading
In the Silicon Valley, business incubation is quite common -- larger companies often provide financial, operations, and moral support to smaller companies that they themselves have started, or outside start-ups that they believe have a good potential for success. This practice has become so normal that some companies have established entire business models based on incubation. Incubation has also become common in the wine industry, where the costs of all the equipment and supplies required to make wine can be an extreme barrier to entry, and a source of extremely high overhead for those who do take the plunge. Just... continue reading
A few wineries around the world can credibly claim that the family has been making wine in the same spot for more than 300 years. Winegrowing, after all, is traditionally a family affair, and people inevitably take grandpa's advice when it comes to hanging on to plots of land. They ain't making any more of it, didn't ya know? Far fewer than even these storied wine producers, are those who can credibly claim that not only have they been making wine for more than 300 years, that they have been making wine the exactly the same way for centuries. Edoardo... continue reading
I think we've turned a corner. At least in the major metropolitan areas of America, it's no longer uncool to be seen sipping a glass of pink wine. This was not always the case. Six or eight years ago, such an action in some circles (not mine) was a clear admission that you knew nothing about wine. Or worse, that you had lousy taste in wine. Then the newspapers and the magazines started in on rosé wines, and every summer there were suggestions from those in the know that perhaps drinking pink was no longer so uncool. Much to the... continue reading
You know pink wine is making a comeback when a bunch of vintners and marketing folks think they can fill a nightclub with rosé drinking young socialites in the middle of a chilly November. The Rose Avengers and Producers who put on the annual RAP PinkOut are betting on precisely that, however. What has been just a public wine tasting is now going to become a public wine clubbing event. Instead of tasting wine as the afternoon sun filters in off the bay, attendees of the RAP WINTER PINK event will be tasting wine to the chillout beats of DJs... continue reading
When the temperatures are topping out above 90 nearly every day in San Francisco, you know it's hot. The poor folks in the rest of the country are usually anywhere from ten to twenty degrees hotter than we ever get, so we have no reason to complain. But we might have reason to heavily chill some rosé and take off all our clothes. It's no wonder then, that in addition to seeing more publicly bared flesh within the San Francisco city limits than I can remember in a long time, I also found myself at the RAP Pink Out Rosé... continue reading
I'll skip all the clichés. You're getting enough of them from the mainstream wine media at this point in the summer. Let's just get right to it: pink wines rock. You might not think so, but you're wrong. And eventually you'll see the light. They're great with food, very tasty, and the good ones don't taste anything like White Zinfandel. Which is why it might be fun for you to join those of us who need no convincing at the second annual Rose Avengers and Producers Pink-Out tasting on July 17. Started by a group of winemakers who had... continue reading
It may be cold as hell in San Francisco right now, and pouring rain earlier in the day, but that doesn't stop me from drinking pink wines. Touted as the savior of summer, and other such nonsense that basically puts these wines on the same level as cold soda pop on a hot day, rosé wines are some of my favorites to pair with a good part of the wide variety of ethnic foods that we eat in the Bay Area on a regular basis. Going out for Mediterranean? Vietnamese? Tapas? I'm much more likely to leave the house with... continue reading
I've just returned (literally) from the RAP (Rosé Advocates and Producers) Pink Out, a first of its kind event here in the Bay area devoted exclusively to the promotion of dry pink wines of all kinds. RAP, like ZAP or any of the other similar organizations, is a marketing co-op of sorts. Membership in the association provides wineries a source of marketing and another opportunity to connect with a particular niche market. Today's tasting (still going on as I write this) took place at Butterfly Restaurant and Lounge on the Embarcadero here in San Francisco, with about 50 producers pouring... continue reading

Designing Lives
The Editors | Photo: Maxine Helfman | February 21, 2013
Our reigning tastemakers look fabulous and live stylishly—and Dallas is better for it.
The Activist
Lael Brodsky
She's as comfortable in sweats and a curly blond ponytail piled atop her head, calling plays for the second-grade basketball team she coaches, as she is bedecked in Balenciaga, stepping out seal-sleek from her Greenway Parks modern on the arm of husband Peter. Such is the comfortable-in-her-skin persona of Lael Brodsky—socially adventurous, fashionable, crunchy (cue the chicken farmer pictured left with Polish hen Big Momma)—and determined that none of that gets in the way of what she cares about most. "My job is to raise good kids. Not rich, successful kids, but happy kids; good, kind kids." When she's not in carpool mode to three children, ages 8 to 12, tweeting and posting on social media or playing tennis, she opens her Frank Welch-designed home for dinner parties notable for their guests' atypical mix of age, careers and political leaning. She also holds meetings for her two biggest charitable passions: North Texas Food Bank and Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. It is as glamorous by night as it is family-friendly by day. She's an utter original and our favorite bleeding heart. We just can't get enough.
The Purveyor
Rajan Patel
Rajan Patel has pushed Dallas' taste forward since he started creating strange and wonderful botanical compositions (you could never call them flower arrangements) under the stairs at Stanley Korshak years ago. An engimatic man, Patel has always been press-shy, preferring to let his choices speak in his store. He opened Grange Hall in the space that formerly housed the shop and office of the late legendary decorator Marguerite Green, a lot to live up to. There, he has created an aesthetic grotto of the magical and mysterious, an internal world unlike anything we've ever seen. From Adolf Loos-designed crystal from Lobmeyr to bronze boxes covered in thorns, Patel's dark style eye is refined and muscular, precious yet powerful. Visual peace meets the disturbing in his world. He's our favorite conjurer of shopping dreams made real.
The Designer
Wendy Konradi
You might call Wendy Konradi's style one of high contrasts and graphic details: precisely cut platinum hair, necklace from the K/LLER Collection in porcupine quills and bronze, all framed by a palette of black or white. Konradi, an interior designer who trained with Naomi Leff in New York and has been working with Emily Summers Design Associates here since 2000, favors both the delicate and strong. Airport security once stopped her because her Alexander Wang handbag had grommets that looked, to TSA eyes, like bullets. Accessories, whether on her body or in a room, are always bold and exude fine craftsmanship. "I do like high contrast. I'm often teased that of all the colors in the spectrum, my favorite color is white, both in fashion and interiors. White is such an equalizing color. I've always been a fan of a crisp, white shirt."

Leanne Wood named new leader of Plaid Cymru
Published in News on Thursday March 15th, 2012. Last updated at 16:14
Leanne Wood has been elected the new leader of Plaid Cymru.
The result of the leadership contest between Ms Wood, Lord Elis-Thomas and Elin Jones was announced this afternoon in Cardiff.
Ms Wood, who is the AM for South Wales Central, will now take over from Ieuan Wyn Jones who stands down after over a decade in charge of the party.
She said: "This campaign has not been about individuals. It has been about a vision – a programme, a set of connected politics. Our task now is to build on the work of all of those who have gone before us. We may be small, as a party and as a country, but we can stand tall if we stand together and we stand up for our principles.
"The election is over, now the real work begins. I may not be the leader of the official opposition, but I intend to lead the Official Proposition. The proposition that another Wales is possible. Our positive, ambitious alternative vision can only come from the party of Wales.
"So here's my message today to the people of Wales: we are your party. The People's Party, of Wales, for Wales. Join us. Help us to re-build your community. Help us to re-build our economy. Together we'll build a new Wales that will be fair, a new Wales that will flourish and a new Wales that will be free."
In the first round of voting, Ms Wood won 2,879 votes to Ms Jones's 1,884 and Lord Elis-Thomas with 1,278.
In the second and decisive round, Ms Wood beat Ms Jones by 3,326 votes to 2,494.

Which is the fairest?
Daniel Anderson
16 November, 2011
Snow Whites go head to head next year - trailers battle within!
Director Tarsem is suddenly a busy boy. After completing a mere two films in a decade he finally made a return with the
better than expected Immortals
and it will be a mere four months before he's back with his next project.
Mirror, Mirror is a new take on the Grimm Brothers classic Snow White story, starring Julia Roberts as the evil Queen and Lily Collins as the titular lead. In this alternative version, the Queen takes control of the kingdom and banishes Snow White because she needs to be the fairest of them all so she can bag the handsome Prince (Arnie Hammer). Lost in the woods, the young woman is rescued by a band of rebel diminutive sorts. While Snow White becomes the fearless leader of the dwarfs, the Prince is sent out on a mission to take her down.
Convoluted, isn't it? Well just wait til you see the trailer.
When news reached us that there were two Snow White adaptations in development, Tarsem's then untitled project seemed like the clear winner. Its rival,
Snow White and the Huntsman
is coming from first time feature director Rupert Sanders – who is probably better known for some pretty great video game promo like
Halo Believe
. It stars Twilight's turgid Kristen Stewart in the lead and get's some help from Thor himself Chris Hemsworth in a fight against the nefarious queen played by Charlize Theron.
On paper the two sound pretty similar, until you take a look at the recently released trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman.
The darker tone we were expecting from Tarsem's version is in full effect in Sander's film (even if we're a little ambivalent about the use of the Inception music), with an epic tone that's out to capture a LOTR vibe and a grim visual style. On the other hand, Mirror, Mirror looks like a farce, with a tone that wouldn't be out of place in a TV special, were it not for the decent visuals. Tarsem's flair for camera angles and colour looks to be put to good use here but he works best with rather more niche material – the broad comedy evident in the trailer is remarkably dull and flat, even if the film is openly aimed at kids.
It's harder to declare the victor between the two casts. Theron wins merely by being more appealing than Roberts, and not being forced to play the buffoon. Stewart is a bore and isn't likely to impress in action scenes no matter how shiny her armour but she is a household name, unlike alternate Snow White Lily (son of Phil) Collins who has nothing to her name bar hanging out of Taylor Lautner for much of Abduction. Maybe it's the supporting roles that will swing it – Mirror nabs the likes of The Social Network's Arnie Hammer and the always likeable Sean Bean (plus Nathan Lane, if you care) while Hunstman features Click fave Ian McShane, Ray Winstone and Toby Jones.
Mirror, Mirror sports a production budget of around $50 million while we can't find details for Huntsman but it's likely to be significantly higher. That's reflected in their release dates – the relative doldrums of March for Mirror and June for Sander's flick – which is also rumoured to be the first part in a suitably epic trilogy.
We hate to say it but things aren't looking good for Tarsem's latest.
Mirror, Mirror is in cinemas in March 2012 while Snow White and the Huntsman follows in June.
Which is the fairest?

Want to do something big for God? Something powerful that will change lives, impact communities and make a difference in the world?
There's no limit to the extreme measures God will take to get the Good News of the Gospel out to the ends of the earth. Take Philip, for instance. He's a prime example of the lengths God will go to for just one person to understand the Scripture.
Acts Chapter 8 tells us an angel appeared to Philip and gave him instructions on where to go. He went. He saw a man riding in a carriage and reading from the Book of Isaiah. The Holy Spirit told Philip, "Go over and walk along beside the carriage." Philip ran over, heard the man reading aloud, and asked, "Do you understand what you're reading?"
"How can I, unless someone instructs me?" the man asked. He urged Philip to come sit with him and explain the Scriptures. Philip sat with the man and shared the Good News about Jesus. His explanation of the Gospel was so convincing that the traveling stranger received the new birth. He just needed someone to share the Scripture with him in a way he could understand. As they traveled along, the man saw some water and said, "Look! I want to be baptized!" Philip baptized him, and suddenly the Holy Spirit snatched Philip away, and Scripture tells us "Philip found himself" in another town.
Wow! Talk about extreme evangelism. Philip's there one moment baptizing a new convert, then poof, he suddenly disappears! How cool is that? I want to do something big for God. I want to be used in a powerful way to change lives.
But in the meantime, while I'm waiting for an angel to appear, the Holy Spirit to speak, and to be translated like Philip . . . I'm going to give $26 per month to translate a verse of Scripture for a people group who do not have a Bible they can understand. That's 12 verses a year. Or one verse for 12 people groups.
It's powerful. It's big. Do it for God.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE; 26 March 1828; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18280326-TC-JWC-01; CL 4:344-345.
Scotsbrig, Wednesday Night (10 o'clock) [26 March 1828]
My Dearest Wife,
I am just returned from Dumfries, where your melancholy letter1 lay waiting for me; and I write literally for no other purpose but to say where I am, and to beg of you to write me again. I could not find any corner of Dumfries that was not full of uproar; and had to retire to the street, not to send you a letter, but to consider whither I should betake myself for the night; a package of proof-sheets, parcel from Edinr, &c &c having also arrived, and requiring immediate attention. The result was that I determined on coming hither, and waiting till I should hear from you again, which I pray that I may do if possible by return of post, to regulate my farther movements. Direct me how you wish that I should proceed; and if I can I will comply.
Poor Auntie! Poor dear gentle soul, and is it come to this with her! Till your letter reached me, I had never left off hoping; nay my hopes were stronger than my fears. Tell her that I weep for her, and pray for her; yes, pray, as I am enabled, to that great Being to whom the issues both of life and death equally belong. O, Jane!— But what is the use of talking? May the Great God be merciful to her, and to us whom He is threatening to bereave of one so dear to us! Alas! alas! Life is but a Shadow and a Show. But the Substance and the Truth lies beyond it; and they that are of upright heart shall not long and hope in vain.
Mrs Yorkstoun of Hoddam2 died yesterday! To one's mind in this season, the world seems hung in sable; and Death is King of Life.
Write to me directly, Dearest; and compose thy poor fond heart; for the weak and strong alike must front the inevitable. Good Night my own Jeanie, and God bless thee! I am ever
Thy Affectionate Husband, /
Thomas Carlyle.
I would not trouble you with a word of business at such a time: yet if you could send me Alison Grieve's address I would write to her. Some lady (from Preston-kirk, I think) has written to you for a character of her; and Jane wisely reckoning it a sign that Alison was in a hiring condition, has inserted the note among the proofs. Another long letter from Mrs Richardson3 (sent down in like manner) I have not yet looked at. Again good night; and do not neglect to write— Yet not on Thursday night if you have no time.

- Long Synopsis:
- In the third book in the Beautiful Bastard series, an agreement between a venture capitalist and a bookish woman quickly becomes a very NSFW version of My Fair Lady.When Hanna "Ziggy" Bergstrom moves to New York City for graduate school, Will Sumner thinks his responsibilities to his best friend's nerdy little sister will be limited to the occasional dinner and check-in. Little does he know that Ziggy is ready to break out of her bookworm academic shell and move more into bombshell territory. Of course she figures the gorgeous womanizing venture capitalist Will is the best person to help mentor her in this new field of study: dating. Will takes on the challenge with more than a healthy dose of skepticism and humor, but soon finds that Ziggy just needed a tiny push, not a world of change, to reveal a woman every man seems to notice. Soon "Ziggy" is gone and the unfiltered, innocently seductive Hanna Bergstrom is hijacking his dreams, his moods, and even his orderly no-strings-attached dating life--beginning the night his mentoring activities move between the sheets.

Bowling News USA - January 30, 2011 Ciminelli Wins First PBA Title in Dublin...
In his fourth season competing on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour, Ryan Ciminelli of Cheektowaga, N.Y., broke through to win his first title Sunday in the PBA One A Day Earl Anthony Memorial at Earl Anthony's Dublin Bowl.
In a battle of lefthanders in the championship match, the 24-year-old Ciminelli defeated Tour veteran and 13-time Tour titlist Patrick Allen of Wesley Chapel, Fla., 237-215, to win the $20,000 first prize.
Allen used a Storm Reign™ and Hy-Road™ on the telecast.
Ciminelli's previous best Tour finishes were second in the 2009 PBA Cheetah and Viper Championships and third in the 2010 United States Bowling Congress Masters.
"Even though I didn't win last year I had a good year and just didn't want to go back into a slump," Ciminelli said. "Sometimes I think you have to go through the losing part first to prepare yourself to win."
As the top seed for the tournament, Ciminelli felt this was his best opportunity to win a title and as a result lost a lot of sleep the night before the finals.
"I probably only got four or five hours of sleep last night," he said. "But every time I closed my eyes I visualized a lot of scenarios and hoped this would be the outcome so I'm extremely relieved.
"I was bowling against one of my heroes in a tournament named after one of the greatest bowlers of all-time so it was even more than I could ask for."
In the semifinal match Allen defeated PBA Hall of Famer and 35-time Tour titlist Pete Weber who finished third, 212-206, to advance to the final.
Weber used the new Storm Marvel™ on the telecast.
Even though Allen had to settle for second he was encouraged by his finish.
"Ryan got off to a strong start and I just couldn't catch him," Allen said. "He bowled great and I'm happy for him.
"I haven't bowled well since late last year so this was a confidence booster for me. I bowled well against Tommy (Jones) in the first but was probably lucky to win against Pete but overall it was a good tournament for me."
In the opening match, Allen defeated another 13-time Tour winner, Tommy Jones of Greenville, S.C., who finished fourth, 226-223.

FSFE Founder Georg Greve Awarded German Cross of Merit
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) founding president Georg Greve was awarded the German Cross of Merit for his intervention on the part of free software and open standards.
The North Sea islander Georg Greve was given the award April 27 at the German Embassy in Berne, Switzerland. The honor was based on Greve's service as founder and long-time president of the FSFE, European speaker for the GNU Project and author of the "Brave GNU World" column for Linux Magazine. Emphasis was on his promoting open standards, of particular interest to the German state department, considering the recent Document Freedom Day.
In 2009 Greve gave up his eight-year presidency of the FSFE to Karsten Gerloff to become CEO of Kolab Systems in Zurich. The FSFE recently was granted the Theodor Heuss Medal for its vision and setting an example of democratic principles and collaborative values.

Helping Children to Succeed, Part 2
Last month I wrote about an article in Psychology Today. Paul Tough has written a book on the importance of character to children's academic success (How Children Succeed). In February, I shared Paul's first principle and parenting recommendations that have been shown to strengthen children's character, which was Optimism.
This month I will review his second principle which is Listening. He says that patient listening has gone out of style in our current preoccupation with finding strategies to solve children's behavior problems. But at the end of the day, there is no more important parenting skill than this and nothing that we do as parents that is more important to our children's success in life.

Commissioner's Corner
Active Scouts and Scout Spirit.
I think these two concepts are intertwined. I know unit leaders that struggle at times with what it means for a Scout to be "active". I know I did, particularly as Scouts grew older and the demands on their time increased. School, other activities such as sports or music, and perhaps a job, all made life more complex for a Scout. Each of these were certainly worthy and important activities that should have equal standing with Scouting.

In case you haven't heard, Cooking merit badge joined the list of Eagle-required merit badges on 1/1/2014.
What's changing?
There are two major revisions that should be considered separately. The first is that Cooking merit badge became Eagle-required beginning Jan. 1, 2014. The second is a major overhaul to the requirements, which will take effect Jan. 1, 2015.
When will Cooking merit badge become required to earn the Eagle Scout Award?
Beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Regardless of when a Scout earned the Life rank or began working on Eagle, unless he fulfills all the requirements - with the exception of his board of review - before Jan. 1, 2014, he must earn the Cooking merit badge to become an Eagle Scout.
List of Eagle-required merit badges, effective Jan. 1, 2014.
Earn a total of 21 merit badges, including the following:
