The final HIPAA Omnibus Rule, delayed for almost a year, was finally released on Jan. 17.
The rule actually combines four separate rulemakings, including the changes to HIPAA privacy and security rules required under the HITECH Act; data breach enforcement and penalty requirements; regulations related to the HITECH Act's breach notification rule; and changes to HIPAA to incorporate the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
The document is 563 pages long. Compliance officers, attorneys and privacy experts will be poring over it for the next several weeks to analyze its likely impact. But I zeroed in on one thing that had been problematic for Health & Human Services all along: the definition of a data breach and the risk assessment approach required. And HHS did indeed make a big change from the interim rule. Initially HHS had established a harm standard that a breach does not occur unless the access, use or disclosure poses "a significant risk of financial, reputational, or other harm to an individual." In the event of a breach, HHS' rule requires HIPAA-covered entities to perform a risk assessment to determine if the harm standard is met. If they decide that the risk of harm to the individual is not significant, the health providers are not required to tell their patients that their health information was breached. This approach was widely criticized as a "fox guarding the henhouse" approach.
Well, in the final rule HHS reversed course to say that providers should basically assume that any impermissible disclosure is a breach requiring notification unless they can demonstrate that there is a low probability that protected health information was disclosed. That is a big difference! Here is the relevant passage:
"We recognize that the language used in the interim final rule and its preamble could be construed and implemented in manners we had not intended….We have added language to the definition of breach to clarify that an impermissible use or disclosure of protected health information is presumed to be a breach unless the covered entity or business associate, as applicable, demonstrates that there is a low probability that the protected health information has been compromised. We recognize that some persons may have interpreted the risk of harm standard in the interim final rule as setting a much higher threshold for breach notification than we intended to set. As a result, we have clarified our position that breach notification is necessary in all situations except those in which the covered entity or business associate, as applicable, demonstrates that there is a low probability that the protected health information has been compromised (or one of the other exceptions to the definition of breach applies).
HHS has modified the risk assessment to focus on the risk that the PHI has been compromised. Thus, breach notification is not required under the final rule if a provider demonstrates through a risk assessment that there is a low probability that the PHI has been compromised, rather than having to demonstrate that there is no significant risk of harm to the individual, as was provided under the interim final rule.
As I said, this is just one aspect of the lengthy document. The final rule deals with many other aspects of privacy and security, including:

Mercury in the Laboratory
We are all aware that mercury is a very hazardous material, both to our health and to the environment. As a result, we strongly encourage our lab personnel to remove any unneeded mercury-containing items and to dispose of them through the hazardous waste pick-up program.
Elemental mercury can be found in many thermometers, gauges, barometers and u-tubes. Non-mercury alternatives are widely available for all of these items and will satisfy accuracy requirements in nearly all situations. For mercury compounds, there are also alternatives available. Copper catalysts for mercury (II) oxide, magnesium chloride, sulfuric acid or zinc formalin for mercury (II) chloride, ammonia or copper sulfate for mercury nitrate (for anti-corrosion or anti-fungal applications.) While these alternatives have their risks, they are less than those posed by the mercury. Be aware that mercury-containing materials were widely used in the preservation of many reagents and also of animal and plant specimens.
All laboratories were elemental mercury is still present MUST have a mercury spill response kit available and lab personnel must be able to properly use it in the event of a spill. Commercial kits are widely available; follow the instructions that come with the kit. In addition it is important to do the following when cleaning up a mercury spill:
Additionally, labs where mercury is present MUST take steps to prevent damage to the material. The most common problem is where many mercury-containing thermometers are tossed into a drawer, inviting breakage.
If you have any questions about safe handling or use of mercury, or of the selection of safer items to replace mercury materials, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

24 Hours Without A Cigeratte & Soda... AHH!
Tuesday, July 01, 2008
I recently quit smoking, actually it was yesterday!...so I'm new at this, but I am so happy with myself. I need lots of encouragement, as my husband seems to be on and off with his commitment to quit. I love him so much but I know now that I have to do this no matter what for my health, if not then no one will. He can't really be my accountability partner, because if he gets weak and I'm weak...take a wild guess what we do...we smoke!
So I am treating my support network of Spark Teams as my support group and help hold me acc0untable.
I'm hoping that if I stay off the cigerattes and soda, and maybe my poor body will actually realize that its time to lose weight! HA! I'm finally treating my body like it should be.
I think that some of us lose sight of what is so important, not just to lose weight...but as Spark People has taught us...to get to a HEALTHY weight...but in addition to that, LOVING YOURSELF! Love yourself enough to take a long bath, get a pedicure, massage, fix a healthy gourmet meal, whatever sparks you. When we treat our bodies with respect and not gorge it on cigerattes, soda, junk food, trans fats and oils and replace it with fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, healthy proteins and etc, we start to see a change...so here I am at the beginning of a long journey that I once lost sight of a few months ago, but now I am starring that long winding trail in the face, and even though the destination is amongst fog, I am bound and determined with Jesus to make it to the finish and be 40 lbs lighter!
Thanks Jesus for showing me how to love myself again no matter what my weight is!

You are so sweet Ana, thanks for noticing me... I don't have a big physical social network, its nice to come to SP as I am and not be judged or feel awkward.
It means alot to me to that you got something out of this...I have another comment to what you said...hey...I have a great idea...Why don't we write down a list of HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES???? I mean like write down what to do in certain circumstances?? And print if off and keep it in your purse or wallet? I think that'd be good. Then wherever I am I can be reminded of my goals! Like write:
Steering off the Trail
-Having a cigeratte
-having more than 1 8oz serving of soda
-not going to the gym
- chewing sugarless gum instead of smoking
-Have all your water for the day and then one 80z of diet soda as a little pampering
-not going to the gym-taking dog for a walk/riding your bike while thinking of your goals
WOW,...I just had a epiphany! I"M SO HAPPY WITH MYSELF! WAY TO GO ME! (Insert mischevious grin here)

Ang, I love this!! I know I've heard this before...but the way you put it really made something click....I can love myself and love my body by pampering it with things OTHER than food. When I go out with friends, we don't have to eat, we can go for pedicures! Instead of chips and soda when watching a movie...how about preparing a nice fruit tray? Thanks for writing this. I'm going to remember it and live by it!
How's day 2 sans-cigarettes and soda? =)

Whether you were in a relationship that no longer exists, have friends who can't take time off to currently travel, or just prefer to be alone, being along should not be a deterrant for not cruising. As a matter of fact, traveling solo has many benefits. Here are just a few:
Life's an adventure. Why should being alone not be. You may not have the safety net of a few friends, a wing man/woman, or family members, but cruising afford you the opportunity to meet like minded people like yourself. Keep in mind that everyone one that ship, including those traveling stag are hoping to visit the same destinations that you are on that very same week. Make certain that you sign yourself up for ship board activities, hit the bars, schedule some shore excursions and lounge by the pool. Make friends with the bartenders at your favorite watering hole on the ship.
Safety first. For the most part, cruising is safe. It's one of the few vacation opportunities where it's actually safe to be along and not have to worry. Traveling on land as a solo person, I've heard, is far more dangerous than at sea.
Maximize your time alone. By this, I mean, go do something that your friends would not be interested in participating in even if they were traveling with you on the same week. Go get a massage. I have a friend who hates massages, so when we travel together, my spa time cuts into our bonding time. Take a cooking class, go play bingo, find something to do that you'd normally not do because you're entertaining your friends on vacation.
Remember, you may be sailing alone but each one of those passengers you pass in the hallways, sit next to on the lido deck or at a bar, is a new potential friend. Eat when you want, what you want. Sleep as long as you want without having to get up to meet someone at a designated time.

An unconscious skydiver should be counting his lucky stars after the man's daring friends quite literally saved him in midair from a skydiving accident this week. In a breathtaking video captured from the victim's helmet camera, viewers can see the man's fellow skydivers try to reach out to him in his knocked-out state, then finally help to rescue him before hitting the ground thousands of feet below. The Sun Sentinel reports this Friday, Jan. 31, 2014, that the incident has been called nothing less than a "miracle" by some experts in the field, and stands as a brave recovery to save a friend's life after he suffered a blow to the head.
The unconscious skydiver has had his identity released as James Lee. While the video may initially look like it came straight out of an action movie's death-defying scene, this frightening incident was real as real could be. While participating in a group skydiving jump in the U.K.'s Wiltshire region this week, Lee's daring leap into the sky went horribly wrong.
Only moments after leaving the plane, he was struck hard in the back of the head by another skydiver. The accidental blow was strong enough to completely knock him unconscious. In just seconds, Lee went from an exciting if daring experience into one that could very easily claim his life. He was soon tumbling towards the distant grow below, falling in a frenzy.
As captured on the video, the man's friends and jumping partners soon realized that something had gone amiss. A pair of experienced men was able to travel close enough to Lee to roll him into a safe, stable position and then successfully deploy his wide parachute.
Fortunately, it appears that this unconscious skydiver made it to the landing site below just find, as did his companions. Lee offered in a statement afterward that he doesn't really remember very much of the whole leap after the blow in the back of the head (which may be for the best).
And if he ever does want to recall the massive jump and daring rescue of his skydiving friends, all he does is need to watch the viral video that has already become a hit online.

The ranter pointed out that there is a rule change that was made thus offseason that made this type of play reviewable.
He's generally right, but I think that in this case it still may not have made a difference. The whistle blew and some players made no effort to get to the ball.
Therefore with no clear recovery it likely still woulda been miami ball.
But in any case sparano was smart in running a quick play.

Jen from Scissors and Spatulas
scavenged salvaged her husband's old, broken, decrepit (You get the idea!) bed as a young boy from her in-laws with visions of turning it into something truly fabulous.
After a few weeks of collecting dust and cobwebs in her garage, Jen realized it was just what she needed for a "Trash to Treasure" contest and turned it into a darling white bench for her foyer. Of course you know that I love that fact that this is a sentimental piece. How fun to be able to tell her kids as they sit on it to tie their shoes that it was once the bed Daddy slept in as a child!
Find out how Jen made her bench at Scissors and Spatulas.

On/Off Campus Service Initiatives
Here you will find information on upcoming days of service, campus events centered on community service, and local events featured by community partners that we work with. Here is a small sampling of community service events, and how to get connected.
- Reflection Training
The Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement organizes reflection training for student organizations and student leaders looking to increase their knowledge of guided reflection as well as how they can gain a better understanding of the role they play in the community through service to others.
- Service365
Service365 is a reflection reception planned by the Service in Action committee and is meant to give students and local community affiliates a chance to reflect on their experiences throughout the year as well as how that has impacted their experience at NSU and what it means to be a Shark through service to our local community.
- SERV Hours
The SERV Hour program is the official means of documenting student service hours for clubs and organizations as well as individual students. A SERV hour is defined as: "Active participation in service addressing needs of the community through face-to-face and/or hands on volunteering that addresses a specific social need" and is tracked through the Student Leadership and Civic Engagement office.
In the 2013-2014 academic year, NSU students logged over 12,000 hours of community service which equates to an over $227,000 economic impact. This year, our goal is 15,000 hours which would equate to an over $318,000 economic impact according to data compiled by the Points of Light Foundation as well as Independent Sector. For more information on how economic impact is measured, please visit the Independent Sector Web site here.
- Volunteer Fair
Twice a year, the Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement hosts a Volunteer Fair which is designed to give community affiliates and agencies a chance to interact with students and to share opportunities for them to get engaged in the local area and make a difference. For the 2014-2015 academic year, our Volunteer Fairs took place on September 10 and January 28.
More information on the 2015-2016 academic year Volunteer Fairs will be forthcoming.

Apple rumored to have cut iPhone 5 component orders in half. Weak demand to blame
Apple is rumored to have cut orders for certain iPhone 5 components such as displays almost in half. Apparently, demand for the company's latest smartphone has been weaker than expected, which is what led to this move.
Apple has ordered roughly half as many iPhone 5 screens for the first quarter of this year than what it initially planned. Components other than screens have been affected as well, naturally. Apple's suppliers were made aware of the cuts last month.
This information reportedly comes from "people familiar with the situation" who spoke to WSJ.
Apple boasted sales of over 5 million units in the first weekend of iPhone 5 availability, but hasn't said anything else about how well its latest mobile offering has been doing ever since. That may mean that after an initial spike in sales caused by the device's newness, it didn't break any other sales records.
We'll know for sure what the situation was in the fourth quarter of last year when Apple presents its earnings later this month. So stay tuned.

IncredibleMy husband bought me this dryer, as my hairdresser swears by it.I have really frizzy, curly hair, and even when I blow it dry, it curls in some way or another afterwards.I feel like I have new hair-truly, this is an unbelievable product. It is lightweightand a pleasure to use, but more incredibly it leaves myhair totally straight all week, even after I work out, the curlstays OUT !!! It somehow seals the hair from moistureand allows us curly-headed girls to go straight when we wish, without worry about weather or humidity.Have tried everything, with not lots of success-this is an incredible product- i love it.LisaFeb 13, 2007Lisa Claudia Briggs / MassachusettsHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Chi Nano DryerI needed a light but fully competent dryer due to a shoulder injury. This dryer is "over the top" both in performance and balance/weight. The "built in" stand helps if you have shoulder issues as well. Its not inexpensive but, as in most things, you get what you pay for here. Dries faster than any other dryer Ive seen or used, but allows for manageability as well.Jan 24, 2007Mary / Chapel Hill, NC

Awesome!!I have natural curly thin hair and on top of that I got a perm that is horrible. I went in to my stylist to get my hair cut since the perm fried it and she used this dryer and a chi ceramic round brush and straightened my hair. After, she used chi silk infusion on my hair and touched it up with a chi flat iron.. Let me tell you my hair was the best it has ever been. It was like feeling silk even though my hair is fried. And the best part of all was that I could go out into the humidity and my hair would stay straight.. It has never in my 25 yrs of life done that.. I bought the chi nano flattening iron and I am buying the dryer soon.. I would advise anyone to buy this product..Jan 16, 2007Tasha / Belle Chasse, LAHAIR TYPESynthetic Hair

"Men may cast out demons, and rebuke them in the name of God, but devils are stronger and older, more powerful than anything but beings of an equal, divine weight class. It's for these reasons that while demons might possess people, the devil always shows up in person."
I liked this phrase for some reason.

From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 07:04, 21 December 2008 by Crazyamishguy9 (talk) (→Effect)
Busted is a term referred to when a player is arrested in a GTA game.
Many things can contribute to this:
- Getting pulled out of a car/ bike/ helicopter/plane/boat
- On the ground as a cop is standing over you (mainly in hand-to-hand combat)
- Getting knocked over while trying to steal a cop car (while a cop is inside)
Note: The only way to get busted is by attaining a wanted level.
As a result of getting busted you'll lose all your weapons (except in GTA San Andreas when you have Barbara Schternvart as a girlfriend) and fail any mission you were on causing you to start over again.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, when Carl Johnson gets busted, he will respond either positively or negatively depending on the wanted star levels at the cop.

The updated college basketball rankings will be out on Monday. As expected, the Syracuse Orange have been rated number one in the AP poll. Previous number one, Arizona fell to number two in the AP. The Coaches poll will be out later in the day.
After this weekend's basketball games, Syracuse has moved into the top spot in the "Treat 16" power poll. The fifth installment has some new teams making their first appearance. Syracuse moved into the top spot, and they are followed by the only other undefeated team. Wichita State has won 23 straight games to start the season.
Virginia has moved into the power poll for the first time. The Cavaliers are in second place in the ACC.
Texas also moved into the rankings after beating Kansas on their home court.
Here's the rest of the "Treat 16" power poll.
1. Syracuse: The Syracuse Orange survived a classic game with Duke on Saturday. They moved to (21-0) and should be the #1 team in the nation on Monday. Next games vs. Notre Dame, vs. Clemson.
2. Wichita State: The Shockers avenged their last regular season loss on Saturday. The comeback win over Evansville has Wichita State at (23-0). They have a big road trip coming up. Next games vs. Indiana State, vs. Northern Iowa.
3. Arizona: The Wildcats lost their first game of the season on a buzzer beater, but it could be the loss of Brandon Ashley that hurts the most. Next games vs. Oregon State.
4. San Diego State: The Aztecs only loss is to Arizona early in the season. At (19-1), San Diego State will be vying for a number one seed. Next games vs. Boise State, vs. Nevada.
5. Florida: The Gators have been thriving since their whole roster has become intact. They have a two game lead in the SEC and should cruise to the conference title. Next games vs. Missouri vs. Alabama.
6. Villanova: Villanova's only Big East loss was against a hot shooting Creighton team. They bounced back with two wins this week and now have a (7-1) record. Next games vs. Xavier, vs. Seton Hall.
7. Michigan State: The Spartans lost to Georgetown in a made for Super Bowl week event at MSG. They should be getting healthier in the next few weeks. The addition of Payne will be key for the conference championship. Next games vs. Penn State, vs. Wisconsin.
8. Cincinnati: The Bearcats are (10-0) in the AAC. They are running away with the conference race, but they have a big week coming up. Next games. vs. Connecticut, vs. SMU.
9. Kansas: The Jayhawks had a setback at Texas, but they are still in a good spot in the Big 12. Next games vs. Baylor, vs. West Virginia.
10. St. Louis: The Billikens are still undefeated in the Atlantic 10. With 14 wins in a row, St. Louis is one of the hottest teams in the country. Next games vs. St. Joseph's vs. LaSalle
11. Kentucky: The Wildcats split last week in a pair of road games. Next games vs. Ole Miss, vs. Mississippi State.
12. Duke: The Blue Devils were a play away from beating Pittsburgh and Syracuse in the same week. Duke was part of one of the most entertaining games that lived up to its billing. Next games vs. Wake Forest, vs. Boston College.
13. Michigan: They finally lost another game after winning 10 straight. Michigan's still atop the Big 10 standings. Next games vs. Nebraska vs. Iowa.
14. Creighton: The Blue Jays survived a valiant comeback from St. Johns to win by three points. Next games vs. Depaul, vs. St. Johns.
15. Louisville: The Cards have had trouble beating the top teams on the schedule. Next game vs. Houston.
16. Texas: Texas looks like a Final Four sleeper after their win over Kansas. They are a game out of first place in the Big 12. Next games vs. TCU, vs. Kansas State.
17. Virginia: You're looking at the second place team in the ACC. They just knocked off Notre Dame and Pittsburgh with the latter coming on a buzzer beater. Next games vs. Boston College vs. Georgia Tech.

After trying to get "Till Death Do Us Part" three times in a co-op game (which failed all 3 times) and then getting it instantly when trying it in a single player game I'm wondering if there are any other achievements that you can only get in single player games? (I'm suspecting "Pink'd" to be one of them)
I received "Til Death Do Us Part" in multiplayer, but neither of the two members in my party did. The reason has become clear in the patch 1.0.2 notes.
I suspect that any other achievements that seem difficult in a group are not on purpose (barring the follower achievements obviously), and are bugged.
While I can't comment on the specific achievements that you've mentioned, some notable examples of achievements that can only be earned in single-player play are those that require you to have a Follower active, such as I'll Be Your Wingman.
Certain conversation options for achievements are only available if the character is following you.
I had a hard time getting a few of Leah's conversations (in act 1) because I was always playing in a group.

Loyola University Maryland
Strategic Plan 2008-2013
President's Message
Indicators of Success
New Strategic Plan
Indicators of Success
Indicators of Success
As we carry out the initiatives set forth in this strategic plan, we will measure our progress toward achieving our goal of being the leading Catholic comprehensive university in the nation. To that end, we are in the process of developing a list of Key Indicators of Success (KIS). These indicators are not meant to be exhaustive of all of the activities and assessments that occur at Loyola that could be used to illustrate our position as the leading Catholic comprehensive university. Rather, they will be a focused set of items that are feasible from the standpoint of data collection and dissemination. In addition, they will be useful in distinguishing ourselves from the other comprehensive universities from the point of view of multiple constituencies, including parents, prospective students, employers, and internal audiences. Many of these metrics can be benchmarked against those of our peer institutions and all will allow us to track our achievement in each area. The current draft list of KIS, which is detailed below and will be finalized by December 2008, fall into six categories:
Student Experience
The leading Catholic comprehensive university in the nation will be a desirable educational option for students as measured by:
number of undergraduate and graduate applications;
undergraduate and graduate acceptance rates (percentage of applications which are accepted by Loyola);
undergraduate and graduate yields (percentage of accepted applicants who enroll);
undergraduate and graduate summer melt (percentage of accepted applicants who initially indicate their intention to enroll and subsequently forfeit their deposit);
percentage of undergraduate students indicating Loyola is their first-choice school, as measured on national surveys
back to top
The leading Catholic comprehensive university in the nation must have an outstanding faculty as measured by:
proportion of faculty holding terminal degrees;
proportion of faculty FTE (full time equivalent) that is full-time;
proportion of full-time faculty that is tenured or tenure-track;
quality of teaching as reported by students on national surveys such as the NSSE
grants, contracts, and fellowships data (number of applications, percentage of applications awarded, monetary amount of awards, diversity of departments receiving grants);
number of faculty publications;
student/alumni satisfaction with faculty as measured on national surveys
back to top
Student Experience
The leading Catholic comprehensive university in the nation will deliver a top-quality educational experience for students as measured by:
undergraduate retention and graduation rates;
seniors indicating they would "definitely" choose Loyola again, as measured on national surveys;
undergraduate student satisfaction on 5-year out alumni survey data;
undergraduate National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) benchmark data;
undergraduate student engagement in service and understanding of the institution's Jesuit mission as measured on the NSSE;
Ph.D.s earned by undergraduate alumni;
retention and time to completion in full-time graduate programs;
assistantship availability, stipend amount, and percentage of tuition and costs covered for students in full-time graduate programs;
graduate student licensure exam passage rates;
graduate student perceptions of gains in learning aims on Loyola's Graduate Student Climate Survey
back to top
The educational experience at the leading Catholic comprehensive university in the nation is enhanced by the inclusion of diverse perspectives and an approach that views differences as learning opportunities as measured by:
ethnic and racial diversity of undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and other employees;
geographic (national and international) diversity of undergraduate and graduate students;
socio-economic diversity of undergraduate students
back to top
Community Engagement
The leading Catholic comprehensive university in the nation must be engaged with its local community and is enhanced by those activities as well as by global partnerships as measured by:
number and breadth of local partnerships;
number and breadth of global partnerships
back to top
The leading Catholic comprehensive university in the nation must be in a strong financial position as measured by:
alumni giving rate;
number of major gifts given to the institution
back to top
As noted above, most of the KIS can be benchmarked to those of other leading Catholic comprehensive universities in the nation. These include Creighton University, Fairfield University, Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University, Providence College, Saint Joseph's University (PA), Santa Clara University, Villanova University, and Xavier University.

Avenida Berrini
Fronting the Pinheiros River, local outposts of several international hotel chains, including the Hyatt and the Hilton, are located in the area, and the recently opened Octávio Frías de Oliveira Bridge looms large against a backdrop of glass and concrete skyscrapers lined up like dominoes. Located just a couple of miles from São Paulo's major domestic hub, Congonhas Airport, Berrini remains one of the fastest-growing districts in the city, especially as more businesses move into the area from farther afield or from more expensive sections of town. At night, concert venues along neighboring Rua Funchal keep the area hopping after office hours, and several restaurants, including a branch of famous Brazilian beer hall Devassa, maintain a lively atmosphere well into the wee hours.

New Apple iPad with front-facing camera spotted during News Corp event?
Yesterday, News Corp launched The Daily, presented as "the industry's first national daily news publication created from the ground up for iPad." While this may not be such a big piece of news for Apple fans, what happened there without being announced most probably is.
According to Reuters, "what appeared to be a working model of the next iPad with a front-facing camera" was shown by Apple at the News Corp press conference.
Both Apple and News Corp obviously declined to confirm the existence of a next-generation iPad – but we already know that this is likely in production, and it could start shipping this month.
Unfortunately, no one has managed to snap any photos of the alleged new iPad (the one seen below is just the current model).
Other novelties that the new iPad should bring (except for the front-facing camera) include a retina display, rear camera, and 3-axys gyroscope. The new iPad may also have a CDMA version for Verizon – which, by the way, now takes pre-orders for its iPhone.

SEIRIOS (or Sirius) was the god or goddess of the Dog-Star of the constellation Canis Major. The pre-dawn rising of the star in conjunction with the sun was believed to bring on the scorching heat of midsummer.
Seirios was variously identified in myth. Some say she was Maira a daughter of the Titan Atlas, others that she was Maira the dog of Ikarios, Lailaps the hound of Orion, or Kyon Khryseos the golden-hound of Zeus. She may also have been associated with Orthros ("morning twilight"), hound of Geryon, the giant of the west. The dog-star was probably also associated with the dog-goddess Hekate, daughter of Perses "the Destroyer" and Asteria "the Starry One."
Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 2. 518 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"Seirios was scorching the Minoan Islands from the sky, and the people could find no permanent cure for the trouble till Hekatos [Apollon] put it in their heads to send for Aristaios. So, as his father's [Apollon's] command, Aristaios assembled the Parrhasian tribe, who are descendants of Lykaon, left Phthia, and settled in Keos. He raised a great altar to Zeus Ikmaios (the Rain-God) and made ritual offerings in the hills to the Dog-star and to Zeus Kronides himself. In response, Zeus gave his orders--and the Etesiai (Etesian Winds) refresh the earth for forty days. The priests of Keos still make yearly sacrifice before the rising of the Kuon (Dog)."
Callimachus, Aetia Fragment 3. 1 (from Oxyrhynchus Papyri 7) (trans. Trypanis) (Greek poet C3rd B.C.) :
"The [Kean] priests of Zeus Aristaios Ikmaios (the Lord of Moisture) : priests whose business it is upon the mountain-tops to assuage stern Maira [Seirios] when she rises."
Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 4. 81. 1 (trans. Oldfather) (Greek historian C1st B.C.) :
"A plague [i.e. a pestilence arising in a time of drought] prevailed throughout Greece the sacrifice he offered there was on behalf of all the Greeks. And since the sacrifice was made at the time of the rising of the star Seirios, which is the period when the Etesian winds customarily blow, the pestilential diseases, we are told, came to an end. Now the man who ponders upon this event may reasonably marvel at the strange turn which fortune took; for the same man [Aristaios] who saw his son [Aktaion] done to death by the dogs likewise put an end to the influence of the star which, of all the stars of heaven, bears the same name [i.e. Seirios was known as the dog-star] and is thought to bring destruction upon mankind, and by so doing was responsible for saving the lives of the rest."
Pseudo-Hyginus, Astronomica 2. 4 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Icarus [of Attika] received the wine from Father Liber [Dionysos] . . . when he showed it to the shepherds . . . some of them, became stupefied, and sprawling here and there, as if half-dead, kept uttering unseemly things. The others, thinking poison had been given the shepherds by Icarus . . . killed him, and threw him into a well, or, as others say, buried him near a certain tree. However, when those who had fallen asleep, woke up, saying that hey had never rested better, and kept asking for Icarus in order to reward him, his murderers, stirred by conscience, at once took to flight and came to the island of the Ceans. Received there as guests, they established homes for themselves . . . But when Erigone, the daughter of Icarus, moved by longing for her father, saw he did not return and was on the point of going out to hunt for him, the dog of Icarus, Maera by name, returned to her, howling as if lamenting the death of its master . . . [and] taking hold of her dress with its teeth, led her to the body. As soon as the girl saw it, abandoning hope, and overcome with loneliness and poverty, with many tearful lamentations she brought death on herself by hanging from the very tree beneath which her father was buried. And the dog made atonement for her death by its own life. Some say that it cast itself into the well, Anigrus by name. For this reason they repeat the story that no one afterward drank from that well. Jupiter [Zeus], pitying their misfortune, represented their forms among the stars . . . The dog, however, from its own name and likeness, they have called Canicula. It is called Procyon by the Greeks, because it rises before the greater Dog. Others say these were pictured among the stars by Father Liber [Dionysos].
[The constellation] Canicula rising with its heat, scorched the land of the Ceans, and robbed their fields of produce, and caused the inhabitants, since they had welcomed the bandits to be plagued by sickness, and to pay the penalty to Icarus with suffering. Their king, Aristaeus, son of Apollo and Cyrene, and father of Actaeon, asked his father by what means he could free the state from affliction. The god bade them expiate the death of Icarus with many victims, and asked from Jove that when Canicula rises he should send wind for forty days to temper thee heat of Canicula. This command Arsitaeus carried out, and obtained from Jove [Zeus] the favour that the Etesian winds should blow."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 13. 253 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.) :
"He [Aristaios] had not yet migrated to the island formerly called Meropis [Kos]: he had not yet brought there the lifebreathing wind of Zeus the Defender [the Etesian Winds], and checked the fiery vapour of the parched season; he had not stood steelclad to receive the glare of Seirios, and all night long repelled and clamed the star's fiery heat--and even now the winds cool him with light puffs, as he lances his hot parching fire through the air from glowing throat."
Homer, Iliad 5. 10 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.) :
"The star of the waning summer [Seirios, the Dog-Star] who beyond all stars rises bathed in Okeanos (the ocean stream) to glitter with brilliance."
Homer, Iliad 22. 26 ff :
"That star [Seirios, the dog-star] which comes on in the autumn and whose conspicuous brightness far outshines the stars that are numbered in the night's darkening, the star they give the name of Orion's Dog (kynos Orionos), which is brightest among the stars, and yet is wrought as a sign of evil and brings on the great fever for unfortunate mortals."
Hesiod, Works and Days 414 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or 7th B.C.) :
"When the piercing power and sultry heat of the sun abate, and almighty Zeus sends the autumn rains [October], and men's flesh comes to feel far easier,--for then Aster Seirios (the star Sirius) passes over the heads of men, who are born to misery, only a little while by day and takes greater share of night."
Hesiod, Works and Days 609 ff :
"But when Oarion and Seirios are come into mid-heaven, and rosy-fingered Eos (Dawn) sees Arktouros [i.e. in September], then cut off all the grape-clusters."
Hesiod, Shield of Heracles 139 ff :
"Their souls passed beneath the earth and went down into the house of Haides; but their bones, when the skin is rotted about them, crumble away on the dark earth under parching Seirios."
Alcaeus, Fragment 347 (trans. Campbell, Vol. Greek Lyric I) (C7th to 6th B.C.) :
"Wet your lungs with wine: the dogstar, Seirios, is coming round, the season is harsh, everything is thirsty under the heat, the cicada sings sweetly from the leaves .. the artichoke is in flower; now are women most pesilential, but men are feeble, since Sirios parches their heads and knees."
Aeschylus, Agamemnon 966 ff (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
"For if the root still lives, leaves come again to the house and spread their over-reaching shade against the scorching dog star (seirios kynos)."
Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3. 958 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"Like Seirios rising from Okeanos, brilliant and beautiful but full of menace for the flocks."
Aratus, Phaenomena 328 ff (trans. Mair) (Greek astronomical poem C3rd B.C.) :
"A star that keenest of all blazes with a searing flame and him men call Seirios. When he rises with Helios (the Sun), no longer do the trees deceive him by the feeble freshness of their leaves. For easily with his keen glance he pierces their ranks, and to some he gives strength but of others he blights the bark utterly. Of him too at his setting are we aware."
Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 8. 30 ff (trans. Way) (Greek epic C4th A.D.) :
"From the ocean-verge upsprings Helios (the Sun) in glory, flashing fire far over earth - fire, when beside his radiant chariot-team races the red star Seirios, scatterer if woefullest diseases over men."
Anonymous (perhaps Pamprepius of Panopolis), Two Poems Fragments (trans. Page, Vol. Select Papyri III, No. 140) (Greek poetry C4th A.D.) :
"The snow-white brightness of blazing Phaethon [the sun] is quenched by the liquid streams of rainclouds, and the fiery ((lacuna) . . of the dog-star (kynos astraios) is extinguished by the watery snowstorms."
Virgil, Georgics 2. 353 ff (trans. Fairclough) (Roman bucolic C1st B.C.) :
"The time when the sultry Dog Star (Canis) splits the fields that gape with thirst."
Virgil, Georgics 2. 425 ff :
"And now Sirius (the Dog Star), fiercely parching the thirsty Indians, was ablaze in heaven, and the fiery Sun had consumed half his course; the grass was withering and the hollow streams, in their parched throats, were scorched and baked by the rays down to the slime."
Seneca, Oedipus 37 ff (trans. Miller) (Roman tragedy C1st A.D.) :
"[Thebes was plagued by drought :] No soft breeze with its cool breath relieves our breasts that pant with heat, no gentle Zephyrus blows; but Titan [Helios the sun] augments the scorching dog-stars's [Seirios'] fires, close-pressing upon the Nemean Lion's [i.e. Leo, zodiac of mid-summer] back. Water has fled the streams, and from the herbage verdure. Dirce is dry, scant flows Ismenus' stream, and with its meagre wave scarce wets the naked sands."
Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 5. 370 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"When Sirius in autumn sharpens yet more his fires, and his angry gold gleams in the shining tresses of night, the Arcadian [planet Mercury] and great Jupiter [the planet] grow dim; fain are the fields that he would not blaze so fiercely in heaven, fain too the already heated waters of the streams."
Statius, Silvae 3. 1. 5 (trans. Mozley) (Roman poetry C1st A.D.) :
"Twas the season when the vault of heaven bends its most scorching heat upon the earth, and Sirius the Dog-star smitten by Hyperion's [the sun's] full might pitilessly burns the panting fields."

"This effort presented a wonderful opportunity to educate and support individuals and families who have been touched by mental illness," says ARCC Academic Support Center Director, Jan Pomeroy, who initiated ARCC involvement in the collaboration. "Mental illness is a community issue so it only makes sense we approach it as a community."
The opening event, which featured nationally known speaker Peter Feigal, as well as the month-long tour of the photo-text display was the result of a collaboration between Anoka County Community Health and Environmental Services, Mental Wellness Campaign for Anoka County, ARCC and Mercy and Unity Hospitals. The group has made their message clear: mental health is as important as physical health.
Part of the draw to the event was Feigal, who spoke about living with clinical depression for 30 years and living with multiple sclerosis for 17 years. He told multiple stories about the pain and frustration of living with depression, a disease often misunderstood. He also spoke about his multiple sclerosis, but concluded if he had to choose between his two diseases, he would prefer the multiple sclerosis because it is more socially acceptable.
"There is obviously a need to create a greater awareness of mental health," says ARCC Dean of Educational Service, Dr. Mary Raeker-Rebek, who served on the organizing committee. "I am so glad that Anoka-Ramsey Community College was able to be part of this collaboration-the collective effort is a great way to reach a larger audience. We are already beginning to plan for next year's event."
While the opening event is over, the public can still view the photo-text exhibit, "Nothing to Hide: Mental Illness in the Family," throughout the month of May at most of the following locations:

More About Mental Health in Anoka County and BeyondIn 2005-2006, the Mental Wellness Campaign for Anoka County hired Wilder Research to conduct a mental health community survey of Anoka County residents. Survey highlights included:
According to research by Mental Health America (formerly National Mental Health Association), one in every five Americans experiences a mental disorder in any given year, but only half seek treatment. That would equal approximately 64,000 people in Anoka County. Further, they have found:
More about Nothing to Hide: Mental Illness in the Family, a Photo-Text Exhibit"Nothing to Hide: Mental Illness in the Family," funded in part by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), is a museum-quality, photo-text, traveling exhibit featuring photographs and interviews with families whose lives are affected by mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, major depression and anxiety disorders. The accounts depict strength, courage, integrity and accomplishment and help dispel harmful stereotypes, myths and misconceptions about mental illness.
The exhibit has received rave reviews and media attention. The companion book, "Nothing to Hide," won a prestigious Ken Johnson from NAMI-New York City Metro.
"This wonderful book will touch the heart of anyone who has been close to mental illness. It is a book that everyone should read," says Lesley Stahl, co-editor of 60 Minutes, the television news program.

I did not include the mayo and substituted curly parsley in place of flat parsley. I placed the dip on plastic wrap, rolled into a ball and froze. Prior to serving, as the ball begins to thaw, roll in chopped pecans.
Blue Cheese Dip
From EatingWell: Summer 2003
If you have a garden or farmer's market nearby, there's much to be said for setting out a plate of raw summer vegetables and serving them with nothing more than a great dip. Here is one that everybody seems to enjoy, a creamy blue cheese dip that's good with crunchy radishes (provide some toothpicks for impaling them), baby carrots, broccoli and the like. Use enough of any combination of veggies to feed 4 or 5 people.

What Happened to the FHA Plan to 'Monetize' the Homebuyer Tax Credit?
The real-estate industry rejoiced when Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan told a Realtor conference earlier this month that the FHA was finalizing policies that would allow first-time buyers to apply an $8,000 tax credit towards the down payment of their home. The gist: The FHA would offer bridge loans that would allow buyers to get a cash advance on their tax credit, to be repaid when the buyer receives their tax credit check from the Internal Revenue Service.
That was two weeks ago, and some builders and Realtors are getting antsy as they wait for the effort to materialize. Home buyers, meanwhile, are confused. A memo outlining the program was posted online on May 11, the day before Mr. Donovan's announcement, but was later pulled. That prompted Internet buzz that the program might not happen after all.
The FHA says that the rumors about the program's demise were flat-out wrong and that the program will be rolled out soon. Some industry analysts say that the memo may have been pulled because the program, which uses a tax credit established in February's stimulus package, needed an OK from the White House budget office.
There's also a handful of thorny issues that the FHA needs to address before it can roll out the program. Washington Post columnist Kenneth Harney takes a look at some of those questions in his Sunday column, including the mechanics of how private lenders will make the bridge loans and where mortgage companies will come up with the funds to "monetize" the credit for buyers.
That means that, even once the FHA spells out the particulars of the program, it could take a few weeks for all the gears to get cranking. But builders and Realtors want to crack the whip—the tax credit for first-time buyers expires at the end of November.
The FHA also surprised some analysts when it offered a program that allows buyers to get into homes with nothing out of pocket. Washington Independent also wonders if the bridge loan program won't be targeted by companies that offer high-rate loans to borrowers.

College Hockey:Brown Makes Statement With Win Over No. 11 Harvard
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Brown University made a statement to the ECAC Saturday night with a 4-2 road upset of No. 11 Harvard. The season opener for both teams seesawed back and forth in an emotional and physical battle at Bright Hockey Center.
After Harvard freshman forward Brendan Bernakevitch evened it up at 2-2 early in the third, it appeared the nationally-ranked Crimson could put away the underdog Bears.
The action remained heavily concentrated in the Brown zone for several minutes after the game-tier. Brown senior goaltender Brian Eklund stood tall for the remaining 15 minutes, kicking out 27 of 29 shots in total.
And a little past the halfway point of the third a flurry in front of the Brown cage turned into a three-on-one opportunity for Brown's top line, which was especially effective tonight. Sophomore winger Pascal Denis streaked down the right wing and fired a shot by Harvard's Will Crothers, who was making just his second career start.
The puck deflected off a Crimson defender's stick and bounced into the back of the net to make the score 3-2. The goal was the first of Denis' young career.
"It feels great to put that goal behind me," Denis said. "I just wanted to get a good shot off, because I saw [Tye] Korbl coming in and was hoping I could get a rebound."
Harvard worked for several good chances in the remaining eight and a half minutes. Dennis Packard had a chance on a rush in front, and in the last 30 seconds sophomore Tyler Kolarik made a great move in front, but in a final stickhandling move before taking a shot, the puck was inadvertently deflected away.
"It was chaotic at the end," Eklund, a Boston-area native with a pack of fans in the crowd, said. "Luckily we got a stick or a skate on that shooter, because he was in great position. It was a good team effort at the end to keep them out of the net."
"Most of our offensive struggles stemmed from how they did such a good job in the defensive zone in front of Eklund — we didn't use our points well," said Harvard head coach Mark Mazzoleni. "They were trying to limit our second chances all game. Their goaltender played really well for them."
In the final moments, after a faceoff, defenseman Scott Ford, in an attempt to clear the puck, fired a bank shot off the glass which slid right in the middle of an empty Harvard net to make finish the scoring at 4-2.
Junior forward Dominic Moore, who led Harvard in scoring last season, gave the Crimson a 1-0 lead on a five-on-three chance midway through the first. A perimeter shot, aided by a mess of bodies in front of Eklund, snuck through.
"We should've got to the net a little more," said Moore. "It was one of those nights that our shots just weren't going in and we couldn't get to the rebounds."
Brown also had a five-on-three opportunity in the first, but failed to convert and the frame ended with Harvard on top.
In the second the Bears came out looking much stronger, and cashed in on two early opportunities. Junior Keith Kirley, the third piece of Brown's top line, also featuring Korbl and Denis, had a dominant shift, in which he held on to the puck in the Harvard zone and wore down the defense with pressure. Eventually, a pass from Kirley from behind the net found its way to Korbl in the slot, who fired a slapper by Crothers.
Five minutes later, Brown forward Chris Legg came flying down on a rush along the right wing. Legg cut in front, losing control of the puck slightly, but circled back and recovered by throwing a pass in front to senior forward J-F Labarre. Labarre, one of three seniors in the lineup for Brown, was rewarded for going hard to the net. Suddenly the underdog Bears were up 2-1.
Brown kept that lead until the third, despite giving up several turnovers to Harvard which resulted in nothing. Eklund and the Brown defensive unit, led by sophomores Vince Macri and Scott Ford, were especially strong under pressure throughout the game.
Both teams were missing their captains. Peter Capouch was out of the lineup with a groin pull for Harvard, while key defenseman Josh Barker sat out with an injury he suffered during a scrimmage versus the Crimson a week before.
"I thought battled to the end," Mazzoleni said. "We didn't look by them in an way. Our guys knew we had to play. The just beat us."
"We took some lumps last year," said Brown head coach Roger Grillo, who kept his team battling last year despite just four wins and losing 13 one-goal games. "It feels great to win a big one here now. We have some guys that are exciting to watch and committed to turning this into a winning program."

College Hockey:Gritty Chargers Pull Out Last Second Tie
Canter, Munroe Lead UAH to Three-Point Weekend
COLUMBUS, Ohio — When the Ohio State Buckeyes scheduled a home nonconference series against the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers, they probably thought they would use the early December weekend to hone up skills and regroup for the second half.
Instead, the Chargers came to Columbus and took three of four points from the Bucks in two games, fueled by Scott Munroe's 101-save effort and two Steve Canter last-minute goals.
Just as the final buzzer sounded in Friday's contest, Canter buried his second goal of the weekend to send this game into overtime, where it ended with a 2-2 tie. Last night, Canter scored the game-winning goal with 43 seconds left in regulation.
"Steve Canter is a clutch player for us," said UAH head coach Doug Ross. "He's always been a guy who can score goals. He's a good player for us. He goes to the net with the puck."
Mike Salekin, who had a goal and two assists in Friday's 4-3 win, had the other Charger goal Friday. Tyson Strachan and Dominic Maiani scored for Ohio State; Maiani led the Buckeyes with a goal and an assist as the Buckeyes outshot the Chargers 51-21.
"It was a good game tonight," said Ross. "Either team could have won. We had some opportunities; they probably had more opportunities because they had a lot more shots on net.
"Scotty Munroe stopped a hundred shots this weekend. That's a lot of pucks. He needs a day off, a couple of days off."
Munroe made a total of 101 saves as OSU outshot UAH 106-47 on the weekend.
"He was a good goalie, a big guy," said Maiani. "We just didn't get in front of him enough. Fifty shots or whatever he was gloving them, and we just had to get in front of him if we wanted to score, bear down and get in front of him."
The Buckeyes came out of the first period with a 1-0 lead on Tyson Strachan's goal at 1:49. Charger Bruce Mulherin grabbed a clearing attempt out of midair in front of the OSU net and fired from the top of the right circle, hitting the right post. Ohio State brought the puck up and dumped it into the UAH zone, where Mulherin dug it out of the right corner, sending it to Maiani. Maiani touched it up to Strachan at the blue line, and Strachan fired, finding nothing but net midway up on the right side of the Charger cage.
The teams exchanged a pair of power-play goals late in the second to bring the score to 2-1 after two. Salekin scored a four-on-three, tic-tac-toe goal at 16:43, but Maiani answered with his goal at 18:15, picking up a Rod Pelley rebound in traffic to the right of UAH net.
Through two periods, the Buckeyes outshot the Chargers 24-10, and in the third OSU came on in waves in the UAH zone but was unable to solve Munroe for the insurance goal.
With just a minute to go in regulation, UAH pulled Munroe for the extra attacker, and with the final seconds ticking down, OSU goaltender Dave Caruso was left to fend for himself, stopping Mulherin's initial shot and then Jeremy Schreiber's rebound before Canter came through on the third attempt as regulation ended.
The Chargers finished the game with a shortened bench, having lost David Nimmo to an injury and Josh Murray to a game misconduct, both in the second period. Ross said that Nimmo may have a concussion and is likely to be all right.
"We went three lines late in the game," said Ross, "Just wanted to play off transitions, pick up our wings, wait for some mistakes, and come back at them."
OSU head coach John Markell said that the Buckeyes need to be more poised with the puck but that the team made mistakes on both sides of the blue line.
"Our lack of goal scoring right now is hurting us. Our puck possession skills are not there.
"Obviously, we generated 51 shots. I don't think that all 51 were grade-A scoring chances, but I think we had enough opportunities to secure game, even in the first period.
"We made mistakes with the six-on-five, and it cost us two points. The overall effort, I thought, was there. We made some very tiny steps from last night. I thought it was a physical series."
The Chargers finished the night 1-for-6 on the power play to OSU's 1-for-8. Caruso had 19 saves in the contest.
Next up for Alabama-Huntsville (5-4-1, 2-2-0 CHA) is a two-game road series against Princeton Dec. 9-10, while Ohio State (7-6-2, 6-4-1 CCHA) welcomes Union for a Saturday-Sunday series, Dec. 10-11.

I once had a swim coach who demanded so little from our team that we lost every meet. Luckily my vagina coach is holding me to a higher standard; she believes in self-discipline.
"Just resist the urge to go," Judith Florendo says after I confess to caving in to a 3 am compulsion to pee. "Stay in bed. Do a few Kegels, count backward and try to go back to sleep."
Florendo is a pelvic floor physical therapist in Chicago. She used to rehab knees and shoulders. Now she retrains vaginas, treating women whose lives are disrupted by bladder-control problems. There are two common varieties: leakage triggered by a rise in intra-abdominal pressure, such as with sneezing or heavy lifting, and leakage due to an overactive bladder. In the latter version, the bladder triggers sudden or too-frequent urges to urinate. If it contracts so forcefully that you spurt before reaching the toilet, you have urge incontinence.
About two thirds of women with sneeze-induced leakage, known as stress incontinence, also have urge issues, placing them in the "mixed" incontinence category. That's me. I spurt urine when I sneeze or hoist a heavy box or when I bounce with my six-year-old twins in the magic megacastle at the "inflatable family-fun center." The seepage is annoying, but what's ruining my life is my urge to pee in the middle of the night. I might be able to go back to sleep after being awakened by my bladder, but then my two boys each weigh in ("Mom, my orca whale fell off my bed. Get it now." "Mom, my nostril has too much crust"). The result: totally fractured sleep, which makes me foggy all day and, according to my husband, Paul, "meaner than that maid who was on Downton Abbey." Incidentally, Paul sleeps with earplugs and so is privy to none of the midnight madness.
Until recently I accepted my un-cooperative bladder as a minor nuisance. But between the mounting sleep loss and unpleasant episodes at the inflatable family-fun center, I began to wonder, Could I reget my bladder to chill? I was aware of the usual treatments: Kegel exercises, which I doubted were effective enough to solve either of my problems, and bladder-relaxing medication, which seemed like overkill; I prefer to avoid drugs unless I'm dealing with pain or disease.
In researching options, I found the Women's Health Foundation, a nonprofit that specializes in women's pelvic health programming, and was given contact details for a phone call with Florendo.
Into the Void
When we first speak, Florendo sugarcoats nothing. "Your nights could definitely get worse," she warns, noting she has several patients who make three sleep-interrupting trips to the toilet each evening. "Long after your kids have stopped waking you up, you'll still have this habit. Break it now."
Interesting: I'd considered my urge problem a condition, not a mere habit. But urogynecologists I later consulted all agreed that behavioral changes can help control the urges.
To get a handle on my case, Florendo instructs me to maintain a three-day voiding diary, noting how often I urinate, how urgently I need to go and how many seconds it takes my bladder to empty. My log shows I typically pee nine or 10 times in a 24-hour period—normal is six to eight—and many of my voids last mere seconds, a sign that my bladder is jumping the gun.
The diary also reveals that my bladder can hold more than I've led myself to believe. When I'm on mom duty, blending smoothies and adjudicating disputes, I often go three hours without peeing. But when I work at my desk, with a glass of water at hand and a bathroom nearby, I barely last 90 minutes.
Florendo's conclusion: "Your brain is in control, not your bladder."
To resolve both my sneeze problem and my overnight urges, Florendo says, I must (a) urinate only when I really, really need to and (b) strengthen my pelvic floor muscles with those dreaded Kegels. Yes, they will help, she says.
