Seva or service is infinite giving. Service is not finite giving. If you do some service and say, 'I served,' then you have totally missed the point. Service is when you feel honored by doing something. You don't feel honor in the company of many. You feel it within your own self. That is service. Seva is when your inside is honored, when you honor yourself. When I am honored in my consciousness for doing something, it is seva. When I stand before my consciousness, I feel good, and I say, 'Well, I am so blessed that I could do it.' That's seva.
If you can learn to raise your Kundalini by yourself, as I did, then your presence will work. Your psyche will change. Then you can help the world to change. You can help friends, relatives, unhappy people to change because you have some extra strength to share. This is the Age of Aquarius. Everybody will find happiness within themselves. Then we can share ourselves with others. We won't have to speak. You are sharing me, I am sharing you.
Aquarian Times, Nov 2008
If you choose that you should be totally balanced and you will only adopt the policy of God, which is to give, give, give, you will never get tired of giving. That carefree Lord moves like the wind, like a breeze in the morning, touching and kissing everybody, hugging, laughing and smiling through the angelic nature. If you become that kind of giver, you will become God.
Seva, a service of giving without thinking of result, is a very simple thing. It makes you a leader whether you are or not—whether you deserve to be or not. And it brings you opportunities, prosperities, and all the goods, and God, and goodies of the Universe. 4/20/89
Seva and simran are the two legs on which God walks. If you have come here, do seva. Do the Karma Yoga. Do it with your hands, and your mind, and your soul, and your money. Do it with your Self and your Self will be exalted.
I Am a Woman p. 132
There's only one thing which will bring happiness to the life of a man in abundance—when you put yourself on the side and serve others, then God will fill in the gap and shall serve you.
We have to become reservoirs of energy. Our words, our sight, our presence should be in a position to change the frequency of a person who needs the jump-start. Do it with words, with touch, with sight and with prayer. It's the same thing. It doesn't matter what condition you are in. But it does matter how precise and clear you are to lift up the other person.
You are here to serve, here to lift, here to grace, here to give hope and action, to give the very deep love of your soul to all those who are in need.
Aquarian Times, Sept/Oct 2006
If you do not make some space and do not empty something, where can you put the other thing? The problem is you all get drowned because you take and take and take and you have no place to go. You don't have the capacity to take. First create the capacity to take, then take. The law of the capacity to take is to first give, because the law of the vacuum is that there's no vacuum; when you create a vacuum, things will come in.
You will never find a community leader who doesn't know how to give—Seva. Giving is the only way. Don't only give to those who ask. Give to those who don't ask. Keep on giving. Become a giver. Your faculty and God's faculty will become the same. That's absolute divinity.
Success and the Spirit: An Aquarian Path to Abundance.
Love is seva. It's offering yourself and helping to increase the vitality, the surroundings of somebody, giving somebody grace.
Simran will shape your consciousness, it will raise you to be more aware, that is all. It will widen your horizon and you will see better, you will see more. Then what will you do? You'll serve—Seva. As you go to the top of the mountain, somehow you reach it and you see the beauty around and you want to share. A man cannot be without sharing himself.
"Simran and Seva," Beads of Truth, Summer 1975
The only power of a human being on the other human being is how much one can serve the other.
"Simran and Seva," Beads of Truth, Summer 1975
Every day we should socialize and be kind to each other to grow our ultimate aura. If somebody has fallen, we should raise that person up. If somebody is going down, we should lift him. If somebody is hungry, we should feed him. If somebody is unhappy, we should dance with him. There are things to do and those things are part of us.
Success and the Spirit: An Aquarian Path to Abundance.
Once Brahma gathered demons and invited them to eat. The only rule was they couldn't bend their elbows. They got food everywhere except their mouths, they could not enjoy it. Then he gave a feast for angels. They knew they could not bend their elbows so they sat down and fed each other and had fun with it. Being for each other is the ecstasy, the divinity.
You cannot give to anybody if you don't have. You cannot give anybody satisfaction if you don't have it. Suppose this glass has nothing in it—it can't give anything. All it can give me is it's 'glasshood'; but if this glass has water in it, then this glass can give itself to me with water which I can take. You all want to take everything. Remember this law: you cannot take, until you give. If you do not know how to give, you will never be in a position to take.
You have to project your purity and piety to uplift and raise people's consciousness. Reach out. Give them the spirit. Show them there's a better thing than maya. It's time for you to serve people, humanity. Our main job is to be together and inspire each other to reach for the golden light. Let us be one in the oneness of each other; love and reach out, make life happy. I hope you will live this day with these words deep in your heart.
Aquarian Times, Sept/Oct 2006
By giving from the heart, we reconnect to that source, elevating our soul and fulfilling our destiny. The psyche of giving is very simple but difficult to understand.

How the heck did they come up with such a system, and why does it work so well?
My major in college was communication. The first question people used to ask me after hearing that that was my major is "What is communication?" And typically my response was "I have no idea."
It wasn't that I didn't understand the word. The issue was more that the subject of communication is so all-encompassing that crafting a one-sentence response seemed a little daunting. It's very different from being asked, "What is biology?" to which I could respond, "It's the study of life" even though I haven't taken biology since 2006. Every professor I had in the communication department had a different definition for what the major was – no two could agree on a definition.
Before I graduated from college last May, I thought I would take a stab at defining what communication meant to me. After having completed the major, I felt I was in a position to clarify the term.
So here is my definition: Communication is the conveying of thoughts and ideas through the manipulation of symbols. Symbols are arbitrary concepts that are created by their users but which nonetheless help create a unified social reality.
Why did I want to study a field that seems so arbitrary and potentially unfocused? Precisely because it is those things! And it interests me deeply that while the term "communication" might mean something different to every single person on this planet, to survive, we humans have learned to use its symbols – both verbal and nonverbal – to connect with one another.
Maybe the real question we should be asking about communication is how the heck did we come up with such a complex system and why does it work so well?
What does communication mean to you? I look forward to reading your comments.

Final words of energy optimism from the late Randy UdallJuly 29, 2013
Much has been written and said about Randy Udall since he perished unexpectedly in June while hiking. Two days earlier, the local energy expert sat down for his last long conversation with KDNK's Marilyn Gleason. That talk ended with big ideas: whether renewable energy could run America, where we're succeeding and failing and how Randy found hope for the future.
Carbondale energy expert Randy Udall on the 400 parts per million milestoneJuly 1, 2013
Temperatures across the West sizzled last week and over the weekend. In May, it was big news when NOAA announced that atmospheric Carbon Dioxide had passed a milestone of 400 parts per million. KDNK's Marilyn Gleason and Carbondale energy expert Randy Udall are back on NRG with MG to explain what this really means.
Energy expert Randy Udall on coal's roleApril 2, 2013
Carbondale was built on coal, and remnants of a once-thriving coal industry are scattered from Redstone to New Castle to Elk Run in Basalt. A drive to Paonia affords dramatic views of three large coal mines' operations while some say there is a war on coal.
Climate change has given the black rock a black eye, and the industry is suffering as power plants switch to cheaper, cleaner natural gas. This week on NRG with MG, energy guru Randy Udall is back for his monthly appearance to talk with KDNK's Marilyn Gleason about coal – starting with its local history.
CORE working to increase energy efficiency in the Roaring Fork ValleyMarch 19, 2013

Can't complain too much about first set. Pretty solid with the exception of a few rough spots in the newer songs It's Ice and Rift. Not bad just a little uncertain in the solo sections. Cuts in Rift, tape flip I suppose. Nice A-Train and Secret Language into a Bowie closer.
Lots of calls for Llama from some guy before second set. Landlady is good. Possum seems to be missing Trey's vocals. Bad mic? Mound also had an uncertainty about it, but again it's a new song. During Oh Kee Pa you can hear Trey call out Llama to Fishman. Good Lizards and Mikes. Hydrogen has a cut in it, most likely a tape flip. Funny Raspberry tease in Weekapaug, also Trey introduces Henrietta and a brief Cold as Ice from Page during the end of Week. The crowd gets a choice from Fish again for a fast or slow song. Pretty solid Golgi closer.
Horn makes for kind of a weird encore, but Rocky Top wraps things up nicely.
Overall a good show, good energy, not a lot of mistakes, but also not a lot of WOW factor.

the curtain is a very sharp opener here, and it pairs up nicely with a strong melt. in '92, phish had not quite figured this song out yet, so it was not quite up to its potential. none the less, this is a strong early version. poor heart and papyrus are both played well. then trey and page hammer home a really nice maze. like melt, this one not quite at its fullest potential yet; although, maze was further along than melt at this point, jam wise. dinner and divided work well together before a nicely place mound. then this set really starts to get hot. fluff head is played with a truck of load energy and it gives way to one of the best antelopes ever. it starts off fairly straight forward, but the jams shifts into a darker realm. page hits the coolest effect on his keyboard. i don't know how to describe it...if ice could sing maybe. very chilling effect. the bbfcfm that follows is pretty nuts too. musically, it is brilliant. lyrically, it's hilarious. from the "why do i want to kill you" line, it goes to "oh why," repeatedly, to "hawaii" repeatedly, to a brief little tropical/hawaiin scat thing, with some really funny fishman stuff, back into bbfcfm. then, as if that weren't enough, they slam this one back into antelope. killer set closer.
the boys keep the action coming in the 2nd set. wilson starts the set off in rocking fashion before dipping into a very fun version of brother, with a nice trey solo in there. the horse>silent is an excellent breather song...hell, people probably still needed a breather from the antelope. the landlady gets the party jumping again and it dives into a very bouncy take on lizards. page sounds nice on this one. i love mmgamoio, and this is another good version. sloth lights the place up, and it keeps the energy rolling. rift is straight forward, and the love you is nice fun. after spattering some secret language around throughout this show, phish kind of realized that few were getting it. at this point, trey decided to give another language lesson. this is where i find this tape valuable for newbies. even though they don't mess with the language fun as much any more, it is still good fun, and who knows, when they do, you want people to get it! after urging people to spread the tapes with these language lessons around, they push into a nice rowdy possum, of course, chalk full of language play. good possum. contact>fire works as a very good encore to a very fun show.
it is not completely unheard of to have the jam of the night in the first set, but it happens sometimes. tonight is one of those nights. the second set is really strong, despite not having any of the typical early phish big guns in the setlist, tweezer, yem, hood, 'lope (nailed it in the 1st of course), slave, etc. it is just one killer tune after another. a great show for any phish fan.
set 1:
the curtain>melt, fluff>antelope>bbfcfm>antelope
set 2:

MINNEAPOLIS -- Sitting in Minneapolis on an off-day with a .125 batting average, A's outfielder Josh Reddick said what he craves more than anything is consistency, which he is not getting at the plate right now.
In the last week and a half, the A's have been rained out twice -- one was an exhibition game against the Giants -- played a doubleheader, had their game on Friday against Seattle postponed because of wet grounds, and had Tuesday's off-day on what normally would be the second game of a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins.
It doesn't matter to Reddick that Tuesday's off-day was built into the schedule in case of bad weather -- not all that unusual for this time of year in the Midwest. What does matter is that Reddick has not been playing with anything approaching regularity.
Reddick is trying to bounce back from a 2013 season in which he hit .226 with 12 homers and 56 RBIs. His season was hampered by a wrist injury that needed off-season surgery to heal, but those numbers still are hard to look at after 32 homers, 85 RBIs and a respectable .242 average in 2012.
A's manager Bob Melvin has repeatedly stated that the team needs to get on the field to establish any sort of rhythm, and Reddick is a prime example of what happens when that time is lost. In addition to the games postponed by weather and Tuesday's scheduled off-day, the A's have not been able to take batting practice before five of their regular-season games thus far.
"Right now, guys are coming out of spring training and they're trying to get their rhythm going. We need more batting practice, more time on the field," Melvin said.
For Reddick, that's certainly the case.
"I've never been a fan of hitting in the cage," he said after the A's beat the Twins 8-3 on Monday, during which Reddick drove in the second run with a second-inning single. "I like taking BP on the field. I'd do it 155 times a season if I could."
It's not that Reddick is giving up on hitting in the cage. He spent time there Monday working on trying to drive the ball with authority. He's not trying to overpower the ball, but he's trying to make crisp contact, hitting the ball on the most solid part of the bat.
"I'm just trying to stay through the ball," he said. "I'm not trying to over-effort anything. The home runs will come when I can make regular contact."
Reddick is well aware that he has a minor league option remaining, and he can envision himself being sent down to Triple-A Sacramento if the A's don't like what they're seeing from their right fielder when Craig Gentry comes off the disabled list this week.
That scenario is something of a long shot because the A's love Reddick's defense and throwing arm as much as his run-producing potential. Monday's RBI was his first of the season. The rest of his batting line is three singles in 24 at-bats, two walks and nine strikeouts.
"It's early yet," A's batting coach Chili Davis said. "I like the way he made his adjustments (Monday night). That's what he has to do."
Davis said Reddick's swing has been getting too long, and when that happens, he's not in proper balance at the plate.
"When his stride is too long, he gets out of whack," Davis said. "But when he narrows his stride like he did, it gives him a better hitting base and he'll hit some balls hard. What he needs more than anything is consistency."
To get there, Reddick would like more on-field batting practice. The next two games with the Twins are 10:10 a.m. PDT. On those days, teams frequently skip batting practice. But if the A's are planning on a BP session, Reddick will be first in line.

CHAR-KOOSTA Newspaper of the Confederated Salisb & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation VOLUME 13 NUMBER 14 THE STORYTELLING MONTH NOVEMBER 13, 1984 Natural resources in the news: Kerr Dam, polluted fish, road closures, river restrictions, and FIP The Oct 4 agreement between the Tribes and the Montana Power Company on the terms of a joint, 50-year Kerr Dam license has yet to be formally filed, because a few items aren't proving so easy to agree on. The name Char-Koosta is derived from Chief Charlo's and Chief Koostatah's names. They were the Tribes' last traditional chiefs. jf. :oldi>H jü J!*>«nnH do! il Si A pre-hearing meeting between lawyers for the Tribes and MPC, and FERC judge Bruce Birchman Nov. 5 led to both sides given two weeks to iron out problems with the contested "bargain block" of power allegedly due to the Flathead Irrigation Project, interim minimum flows of water in the Flathead River, and a recent court decision from Yakima County. The first problem stems from the Tribes' claim that a 1930 agreement for MPC to provide cheap power to FIP from the then- new Kerr Dam expired in 1980 along with the original license. Although MPC and FIP have agreed on what the former will charge the latter Polluted fish, page 2 Road closures, page 3 Restrictions, page 4 FIP, page 5 for power during the first 30 years of the 50-year joint license there's been no concensus between FIP and the Tribes on the proposed lease's 20 years of Tribal operation.

China continues to get a lot of bad press for quality problems with some medications and other consumer products manufactured there, but its popularity as a place to conduct biopharmaceutical research continues to grow. The major clinial research organizations (CROs) are racing to get established there, as much to stay a step ahead of the competition as for the immediate opportunity.
WESTERN CROS IN CHINABridge Laboratories (Gaithersburg, MD)was the first Western CRO to set up a preclinical operation in China. Bridge, a venture capital-backed spinoff of SRI International (Menlo Park, CA), opened its Beijing laboratory in 2006 and received the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) certification in 2006. The company recently raised $18 million in venture new financing, some of which it will use to expand its Beijing facility.
Partnering with Local Companies
Partnering seems to be the way that established Western preclinical CROs are entering the China market. In 2007, Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA) announced a joint venture with Shanghai BioExplorer to open a 50,000-sq. ft. facility. Shanghai BioExplorer's sister company, Shanghai ChemPartner, has a history of successful collaborations with Western companies, notably its ChemExplorer joint venture with Eli Lilly and Company (Indianapolis, IN). BioExplorer's parent company, ShangPharma, recently received a $30-million investment from a major private equity firm.
The latest preclinical CRO to announce its entry into China is MPI Research (Mattawan, MI), which has formed a joint venture with Chinese CRO Shanghai Medicilon to open a 50,000-sq. ft. facility in Shanghai. Shanghai Medicilon, founded in 2004, offers discovery services including medicinal chemistry, custom synthesis and non-GLP animal toxicology, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. The new facility is expected to be operational in 2009.
Covance (Princeton, NJ) remains the principal holdout among the Western preclinical CROs in establishing a China presence. Covance already has a central laboratory and clinical research operations there. Covance management, however, believes that there is still time to get established in the preclinical market.
Most CROs are entering China with the expectation that a significant local market opportunity will develop as major pharmaceutical companies establish research development operations there, and as Chinese pharmaceutical companies ramp up their own new drug development efforts. Most agree that cost savings will not be the major attraction as it has been in discovery and process chemistry. Preclinical research is not as labor-intensive as early-stage chemistry, and the lack of animal-care infrastructure in China, such as certified feed and animal diagnostic services, makes animal care expensive.
Another major challenge is achieving GLP and AAALAC compliance; without them, major pharmaceutical companies can't conduct regulatory toxicology studies in the China facilities. Compliance with AAALAC standards of animal care has been rare, but a sign that change is underway is the fact that seven Chinese facilities have received AAALAC accreditation since early 2006. China has no board certification for pathologists though, and Western requirements for veterinary care are hampered by lower Chinese educational standards. Companies are sending experienced staff from their US operations to help setup and manage the new operations and train locally recruited employees.
Those challenges are why it makes sense for Western CROs to get established ahead of demand and to team up with experienced Chinese companies. Building a facility, training staff, and gaining accreditation is a 2–3 year process at least, and Bridge's experience (their Beijing facility has been slow in gaining market acceptance) indicates that time is necessary to get fully established and compliant. The MPI and Charles River joint ventures reflect their understanding of the long learning curve, the value of having a local partner that knows how to operate in China, and the value of a partner with a chemistry services business that might feed the preclinical operation.
The biggest bet on the future of the China-based preclinical business is being made by a major Chinese company, Wuxi PharmaTech, which is building a 267,000-sq. ft. facility in Suzhou. Wuxi recently acquired AppTec (St. Paul, MN), a provider of analytical testing, biomanufacturing, and preclinical services, which it justified, in part, by the opportunity to share AppTec's experience in compliant preclinical testing with Wuxi's pending Suzhou operation. Wuxi also will have the advantage of its $150-million discovery and chemistry services business and its many major pharmaceutical relationships to feed the preclinical operation.

Definition of Indo-European in English:
- The Kurdish minority of northern Iraq speaks an Indo-European language very different from the Semitic language of Arabic.
- Europe shows a remarkable linguistic homogeneity, with most of the populations speaking languages belonging to the Indo-European family.
- Nearly all Brazilians speak Portuguese, a Romance language, belonging to the Indo-European language family.
- Nomadic tribes speaking Indo-European languages descended from the mountain passes in the northwest to settle on the plains of the Punjab around 1700 BC.
- This they take to support the theory that Indo-European originated in Anatolia and that Indo-European languages arrived in Europe with the spread of agriculture.
- At this time also successive waves of peoples gradually filtered into the area who spoke an Indo-European language that later became the prototype of Greek.
The Indo-European languages have a history of over 3,000 years. Their unattested, reconstructed ancestor, Proto-Indo-European, is believed to have been spoken well before 4000 bc in a region somewhere to the north or south of the Black Sea. The family comprises twelve branches: Indic (including Sanskrit and its descendants), Iranian, Anatolian (including Hittite and other extinct languages), Armenian, Hellenic (Greek), Albanian (or Illyrian), Italic (including Latin and the Romance languages), Celtic, Tocharian (an extinct group from central Asia), Germanic (including English, German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages), Baltic, and Slavic (including Russian, Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian).
- This would mean that ancestral Indo-European arose in 8100 B.B., plus or minus 1,900 years, considerably earlier than previous estimates of about 4000 B.C.
- In English, the roots of many words can be found in Latin and Greek and in the language that most likely predated them, called Indo-European.
- In 1786 he identified similarities or 'affinities' between Latin, Greek and Sanskrit, which eventually led to the parent language hypothesis of Indo-European.
- English is shown within a partial family tree of Indo-European.
- Pashtu belongs to the North-Eastern group of languages within the Iranian branch of Indo-European.
- Alliterative meter also seems to predominate in the very earliest texts from the third western branch of Indo-European, Italic.
- Some of the women are ethnically Iranian, which means that they are Indo-Europeans, and speak Persian.
- They are not Indo-Europeans and they most likely came from the Near East if not the Orient (this was the argument of Herodotus).

Wind Farm Growth Through the Years
August 6, 2013
As we publish the 2012 Wind Technologies Market Report, we are excited to breakdown some of the data that the report highlights. 2012 was a big year for wind energy. In total, 143 wind farms either came on line or added capacity in 2012, bringing the total number to 815. This brought wind capacity to more than 60 GW, enough energy to power about 15 million homes.
We set out to chart the growth of wind farms over time. In the map shown on Energy.gov, we plotted wind farm locations as they came on line since 1975. Through this, you can see the rapid and expansive spread of wind farms throughout much of the country since their introduction in California.
Delve into the map and check out some of its features. You can zoom and pan to areas you want to see up close (we suggest California, Texas and Iowa). Click play to see how fast wind power has grown in the last 35 years. You can click and drag the time slider to see any year you would like.
When a wind farm is first added to the map it flashes blue, so that you can see which points are from the year you are viewing. After that, they change to a shade of purple corresponding to their age. The darker the point on the map, the older the wind farm. You can use the colors on the time slider as a legend to decode what era each wind farm is from. After you explore the map, read the full report at energy.gov/windreport

Global Spa & Wellness Summit Announces Its Eighth Annual Summit
Recently, the Global Spa & Wellness Summit announced that its eighth annual summit will take place on Wednesday, September 10 through Friday, September 12, 2014 at the Four Seasons Resort Marrakech in Morocco. Hosted and co-organized by the Moroccan Agency for Tourism Development, the prestigious event is expected to attract a record number of attendees.
In addition, the second annual Global Wellness Tourism Congress will be held September 10, 2014. This event brings together ministers of tourism and thought-leaders to analyze current market conditions and develop new strategies to further develop wellness tourism. According to a recently released Global Spa & Wellness Summit study, wellness tourism is a (US) $439 billion market, representing one in seven tourism dollars.
According to CEO, SMIT, Imad Barrakad, "Business, health and wellness are among the six structuring programs of the Moroccan Strategic Vision for Tourism Development 2020. By developing the wellness and spa niche, we are targeting Morocco as an international destination for wellness via the promotion of new wellness and relaxation concepts that are based on an ecological approach that takes advantage of Moroccan's local riches. Holding the 2014 Global Spa & Wellness Summit in Marrakech is an opportunity for Morocco to introduce the richness and potential of the country for spa and wellness."
Furthermore, Global Spa & Wellness Chairman and CEO Susie Ellis noted, "Morocco is a splendid setting for the 2014 Summit. It has a rich history as a wellbeing destination with an age-old tradition of beauty, relaxation and body care. The Moroccan hammam, argan oil and the amazing new anti-aging Barbary fig seed oil are just some of the contributions the country has made to spa and wellness worldwide. Equally impressive is the country's commitment to, and investment in, wellness tourism."
About the Summit:
The Global Spa & Wellness Summit (GSWS) is an international organization representing senior executives and leaders from over 40 countries, joined by a common interest to drive economic development and understanding of the spa and wellness industries.

Dr. Diana Howard Sets the Record Straight on Skin Care Trends, Ingredients and Technologies
Dedicated to raising the bar in professional education as well as consumer intelligence in every area of skin care, Diana Howard, Ph.D., Vice President of Global Education and Research and Development for The International Dermal Institute (IDI) and Dermalogica will offer an eye-opening multi-media presentation on Monday, February 3, 2014 from 6pm to 8pm titled, "New Fact, More Fiction, Latest Fantasy – Part 2".
The event is a Guest Speaker Evening (GSE), part of the year-long series of GSEs hosted across the USA by IDI. Dr. Howard will speak at IDI's world-headquarters located in Carson, CA, and the message will be transmitted globally via a live webcast on IDI's Facebook page. Viewing parties with refreshments are also being hosted at all 17 IDI locations, topped off by a live Q+A following the event.
Dr. Howard comments, "It's human nature to be attracted to the next, newest, shiny thing, and professional skin therapists are no exception. Everyone in the business is looking for the Holy Grail, the silver bullet, especially when it comes to anti-aging. As a result, there are a lot of seductive promises, pseudo-science and misinformation that consumers find. As the leading world authority on ingredient formulation and technology, here at IDI we feel that it is our responsibility to offer skin therapists our latest assessment of what's real and what's just a manufacturer's marketing ploy. Knowing the facts is the only way that professionals can manage the expectations of their customers, provide effective treatments, and correctly prescribe products for at-home use."
Dr. Howard points out that virtually every week, "…a new mystery-fruit from the Amazon or some laboratory synthesized active ingredient is being touted all over the internet as the guarantee to reverse aging. Too often buzzwords that have legitimate science behind them are taken out of context and used to promote high tech skin care. Unless you are a scientist it may be difficult to decipher what is real science or marketing hype. "
To attend the event, please call 1.888.29.CLASS (25277) or visit www.facebook.com/dermalinstitute to watch the live webcast. For more information on The International Dermal Institute and the GSE series, please visit www.dermalinstitute.com.

RIFLE - Another big defensive effort by the Rifle boys basketball team gave the Bears a big early lead Saturday night. A big comeback by Eagle Valley gave the Devils a chance.
Eagle Valley's big comeback attempt wasn't big enough, though. Behind a team-high 15 points from Tanner Rust and a clutch performance from the Bears down the stretch, Rifle pushed its win streak to six with a 53-43 Class 4A Western Slope victory.
"No doubt, we're playing well right now," Rifle coach Roger Walters said. "It's awfully nice to see us improve on a weekly basis."
The Bears (9-8 overall, 7-6 in the Slope) haven't lost a game in nearly a month, when their 57-50 loss at home to Delta left them with a 1-6 league record. On Saturday, the Bears went up big and appeared to be in the proverbial driver's seat with a 16-0 lead after one quarter.
Eagle Valley (13-4, 9-3), however, got right back in the game and was as close as 43-38 with 1 minute, 20 seconds left to play. But the Bears put the game away on foul shots, hitting 22-of-30 attempts in the second half.
"We dug ourselves in too big of a hole," Eagle Valley coach Jim Bair said. "We're used to playing from behind, but you won't be able to come back against a Rifle team that's playing their best basketball of the season."
Tanner Quick added 11 points for Rifle and Trent Brown chipped in eight points and seven rebounds, with all of his points coming on his 8-for-10 performance from the foul line in the second half. Sam Lounsberry had a game-high 22 points and five 3-pointers to pace the Devils.
Eagle Valley, which went 0-for-8 shooting in the first quarter, pulled within 20-11 headed into halftime on a pair of foul shots from Ryan Werner. Rifle used an 8-0 run at the beginning of the third to keep a distance at 28-11 with 6:45 left in the stanza, but the Devils pulled within 35-29 on a 3 from Juan Baca with 4:50 left in the fourth.
But Rifle, which pulled away from Summit on foul shots in the Bears' 44-26 win Friday night, did the same thing against the Devils. After Eagle Valley pulled within five, the Bears hit 9-of-10 foul shots in the next 35 seconds to go up 53-40, essentially sealing the game.
"We kind of punched them in the mouth a little bit at the start," Rust said. "We're definitely being more patient down the stretch instead of rushing things. It's definitely paying off.
Rifle girls outlast Eagle Valley
Chante Church had a game-high 19 points - hitting 12-of-16 attempts from the foul line - to lead the Rifle girls to a 40-30 victory over Eagle Valley.
Church and Carsyn Copeland each had eight rebounds and Joey Kuheim chipped in five points and eight boards for the Bears (11-6, 9-3), who vaulted the Devils (11-6, 8-4) for second place in the league standings.
"That was the best second half of defense we've played all year," said Rifle coach Rick Schmitz, who credited the play of Annie Schmit and Brenda Reyes off the bench for the Bears' big defensive effort. "We walked to each other, we blocked out and we kept up our intensity."
Mariel Gutierrez had 11 points and Madeline Lounsberry chipped in eight for Eagle Valley, which tied the game at 24-all on Gutierrez's jumper in the first part of the third quarter. Church went to work from there, scoring six points in a 10-0 Rifle run that gave the Bears a 34-24 lead.
"They took it to us that last time we played them," said Church, referring to the Devils' 40-39 win on Dec. 15. "We knew we had to step up this time and be stronger throughout the game."

The new lights rock. Thanks for playing a
High-energy show. After hours of mediocre
Music played before Phish, I was ready
For all the other bands to: stop stop stop stop stop.
Tweezer can be in every 1st set and I'll
Never complain. Because I'm a fan of phish.
Kenny Rogers. Been a sing-a-long favorite
In my show-going circle of friends. Cool.
Mikey's new pedal sounds cool. And in case
Some fools didn't know, Jon B. Fishman
Was on point last night. Hood.Light was nice.

Bipolar Disorder Health Center
Antipsychotics for the Treatment of Bipolar Disorder
First-generation, or typical, antipsychotic medicine
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Second-generation, or atypical, antipsychotic medicines
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|olanzapine and fluoxetine
These medicines are available in liquid, tablet, or injectable form.
How It Works
These medicines balance certain chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters). It is not clear exactly how these medicines work for the treatment of bipolar disorder. But they quickly improve manic episodes.
Why It Is Used
Each of these medicines has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat bipolar disorder. Some medicines work better for some people than for others. Second-generation antipsychotic medicines may have fewer side effects than first-generation antipsychotic medicines. Be sure to talk with your doctor about how the medicine is working for you. Sometimes you might need to try more than one type of medicine before you find one that works best for you.
These medicines have all been found to be an effective treatment of manic episodes. Quetiapine has been approved by the FDA to treat both mania and depression. Other antipsychotic medicines, such as olanzapine, are also being studied for the treatment of depression in bipolar disorder. The single medicine combining olanzapine and fluoxetine (Symbyax) is also used to treat depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which is used to balance certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that are thought to cause depression.
How Well It Works
Drugs in this classification work quickly in the treatment of bipolar disorder, especially in older adults. These medicines have all been found to be an effective treatment of manic episodes. Some studies show the combination of an antipsychotic and a mood stabilizer may be more effective than a mood stabilizer alone.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is an extremely rare but serious side effect that has been reported by people who take antipsychotic medicines. NMS causes life-threatening problems with your body's ability to regulate its temperatures.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have a fever and:
- Muscle rigidity.
- Fast or irregular heartbeat.
- Rapid breathing.
- Severe sweating.
Other side effects of antipsychotic medicines include:
- Weight gain.
- Restlessness.
- Sleepiness.
- High cholesterol or high blood sugar.
- Movement disorders, such as tardive dyskinesia.
Managing side effects
It may take several attempts to find the right dose and medicine to treat your bipolar symptoms. Effectiveness and side effects for each medicine vary from person to person.
Some side effects are minor. You can manage these through lifestyle changes such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and diet changes. Other side effects can be more serious and require changes to the dose or type of medicine.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Before you take an antipsychotic medicine, be sure to tell your doctor if you have:
- A heart condition.
- A seizure disorder.
- Problems with liver function.
- Problems with blood pressure.
- Diabetes or high blood sugar.
- Constipation.
- A history of breast cancer.
- Problems with swallowing.
- Problems with fainting.
These medicines should be started in low doses. Talk with your doctor about any other medicines you may be taking to make sure there are no negative drug interactions.
You may need regular liver tests, blood tests, and blood pressure monitoring while taking an antipsychotic medicine. Your doctor may also monitor your weight and blood sugar.
Avoid herbal stimulants (such as ma huang, ginseng, or kola) while taking an antipsychotic medicine.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about drinking grapefruit juice while taking an antipsychotic medicine. Grapefruit juice can increase the level of these medicines in your blood. Having too much medicine in your blood increases the chances of having serious side effects.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Women who use this medicine during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Bernstein Boosts Expectations for Capital Returns at BofA, J.P. Morgan
After last week's instructions from the Federal Reserve on the coming round of stress tests, bank investors and analysts are due to turn to the annual guessing game of what the banks will get to pay shareholders.
Bernstein analysts today have some good news for holders of Bank of America and J.P. Morgan: They think those two will get to pay out more than they originally thought Citigroup holders, though, may get a bit less.
On Bank of America, where investors have been longing for some capital return over the past three years, Bernstein says the Fed may approve a quarterly dividend of 2.5 cents a share, up from a penny a share today, along with an annual share buyback of $3 billion.
Bernstein had earlier thought BofA would only get approval for a $2.5 billion buyback authorization.
At J.P. Morgan, where this year's buyback program was put on hold after the London Whale, Bernstein expects the quarterly dividend to go up to 35 cents a share from 30 cents a share, and now expects a buyback authorization of $8 billion instead of its prior expectation of $6 billion. Bernstein notes that J.P. Morgan may actually get approval for a $12 billion share repurchase, but would only actually do $8 billion.
And at Citigroup, which last year was stunned by a Fed objection to part of its plan, Bernstein now sees the bank getting to repurchase $2.5 billion in stock, down from its prior expectation of $3 billion. The analysts do still expect Citi to boost its dividend, a failed promise ousted-CEO Vikram Pandit had made last year, to 12 cents a share each quarter from a penny.
BofA shares are up 0.8% to $9.46 in recent action, while J.P. Morgan is down 0.6% to $40.32 and Citi is little changed at $36.43.

SAN JOSE -- Center Joe Pavelski has grown up with the Sharks organization. Now he has a contract extension with the team that will nearly take him to the end of his career.
Forgoing the chance to become one of the most sought-after unrestricted free agents in the NHL next summer, Pavelski, 29, signed a five-year, $30 million contract extension with the Sharks that solidifies his place as one of the team's most valuable players.
"Getting this done was a big deal for us," Pavelski said on a conference call. "It's a place that I've grown up in now and the family feels really comfortable here and I understand the organization.
"I've enjoyed my seven years there, so to be there for another six years now is really important and we're looking forward to it."
With the deal, Pavelski joins Logan Couture and Marty Havlat as the Sharks' highest paid players at $6 million for the 2014-15 campaign. Couture agreed to a five-year extension worth $6 million per year in June. Both Pavelski and Couture's contracts run through the 2018-19 season.
Pavelski's new contract will start July 1, 2014 after his current deal, which pays him $4 million this season, expires.
"Being committed to me for another six years, for my part, I have to repay them for putting that trust in me now," Pavelski said.
In the lockout-shortened 2013 season, Pavelski finished tied for third on the team with 31 points, including 16 goals, in 48 regular season games. He battled inconsistency at times, scoring 12 points in San Jose's first seven games in January and just three points in 12 games in February.
Pavelski shined in the playoffs, however, leading the Sharks with 12 points in 11 postseason games as San Jose swept Vancouver in the first round and lost to Los Angeles in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals.
In 74 career playoff games, he has 50 points. In franchise playoff history, Pavelski ranks second in goals with 24 and third in points with 50.
"He's one of our core players, the way he plays," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said. "To me it was just an important contract to get done, certainly on the heels of Logan's contract. He fits certainly for now and for the future."
Four Sharks are now set to be unrestricted free agents after the 2013-14 season, including forwards Joe Thornton, 34, and Patrick Marleau, 33, and defenseman Dan Boyle, 37. Wilson said there have been talks with representatives of those three players, but did not offer any details.
"Joe is 29 and the other players are a different age and have gone through that phase," Wilson said of Thornton, Marleau and Boyle.
"Have we had discussions going forward? The answer is yes. But Joe is 29 and he's coming into his prime and for him to give up five years of unrestricted free agency and give us this type of contract is very important."
Pavelski, drafted in the seventh round by the Sharks in 2003, was recently invited to Team USA's orientation camp in August in preparation for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. He won the silver medal with Team USA in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and is third among all American-born players with 158 points over the past three seasons.
"He's a hockey player," Wilson said. "We use him on the point on the power play, we can use him on the first line, we use him for key faceoffs, blocking shots. He won a national championship (at Wisconsin) for a reason. He's just a winner."

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
What is AVB doing?
I think many of us had doubts about AVB's appointment and his team selection so far has only added to those concerns. It is not unrealistic to feel that we should have 7 points in the bag at this point but 2 is a worry.
Its not just the lack of points either - the lack of goals, the lack of fighting spirit, the missing attacking fluency we had last year - where has it all gone?
Playing Defoe on his own up front is surely wrong???? How can you expect him to hold the ball up against two huge defenders? With two wide wingers who are TOO wide and too deep to get in the box enough, we are never going to score enough goals to win a game. Even if you swap Defoe with Adebyor it doesn't change very much.
Starting the Norwich game with two holding MF's and two wingers was a mistake in my book. We were at home FFS against a side that we should be confident in beating. The shape is all wrong and the team look like they have no confidence and don't know what they are doing. This has to be down to AVB and his lack of clear strategy.
I agree that selling Dawson, or trying to, is a mistake given our lack of options in that position. Yes he is not the quickest or the best distributer of the ball but his other qualities make up for that to a certain extent. Livermore is ok but top 4 quality?? Not for me.
We spend God knows how much and all that effort in getting a new keeper when we have a perfectly acceptable one in place already.
And to top it all off, my favourite player - you know the one, he works really hard running all over the pitch, tackles like a lion, has a fantastic pass success rate, scores goals, heads really well, a box to box player, fast as lightening - the one who now thinks he needs to adopt a silly BAE hairstyle to be noticed - Huddlestone, gets playing time and what does he do??? Pratt.
What is AVB doing?? Am I the only one who thinks he looks like someone who THINKS he knows a secret that nobody else does? ie a different, more successful way of playing football?? What ever success AVB had in Portugal is irrelevant. As I said, I was worried about him coming in and I am even more worried now. I know the new signings have to bed in and Dembele is a good addition but the way AVB picks a team means we will only ever have one striker in the box and that is just plain wrong in my book.
ps - I am probably the only one who was glad to see VDV go. The other "striker" that played everywhere except up front!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Personnally Yes.
However,fans don't get to speak to the team at half time and vent their anger if their team have played poorly and maybe thats why they choose to boo.
I for one wouldn't have booed any of my kids for playing bad in any competitve sport and feel the same about my beloved Spurs.
I may mutter a few expletives(hope thats right)under my breathe,but thats about it.
Hope that answers your question.
atb JEFFALL
u havent offended me jeffall, dont worry.
just pointing out that greame took it more personally than me!
anyway, its good that we all have different opinions!
so jeffall, i take it u are against booing at matches?
Point taken SB.
And so my identical point goes out to Greame.
Just trying to calm things down a wee bit and no offence meant to either of you.
For the love of THFC.
atb JEFFALL
jeffall, no offence taken.
but seriously, re read this thread-
u will cringe that u suggest i shouldnt take things personally but at the same time u ignore greame taken my comments far too personally.
So, the fact that I left school at 16 and spent many years in the Army, serving in some dire places, seeing things that nobody should have to see, then getting a 'normal' job, working my backside off to make my way up the ladder to get to a senior management position with a decent disposable income means I'm not entitled to be as passionate and not as 'good a supporter'?
a stranger on an internet forum really isnt worth getting ashamed over. there are bigger things in life greame! dont take a message board so seriously.
strange conclusion u come to jeffal.
il try not to take things personally jeffal,
& hopefully u will stop being a sheep & start thinking for yourself.
greame has clearly taken this thread far more personally than me, yet u do the fashionable thing & just mention me.
i even say its just an internet massage board & not to be taken seriously. he goes on a rant about his life story.
yet u tell me not to take things too personally & also dont mention greame.
your 53 jeffall, think for yourself , make up your own mind, form your own opinions.
Evening fellow Yids.
SB, try not to take things too personnally.
I'm sure everyone on here knows how passionate you are about THFC and the premiere league and can understand why you sometimes jump in to defend your point of view.
BUT,every one(well almost) is supporting the same team and i'm sure by counting to 10 sometimes would save you an awefull lot of typing.
"I suspect you haven't been to a game in a while because generally when one person starts chanting others follow, which gives the team a lift."
i never disputed people chat & sing etc. i disputed the impact it has on the team. i think it helps a bit, but not significantly.
im a rubbish fan. i only see spurs 4 or 5 times a year. i wasnt at the game & never said i was.
"if you think it was just at the end of each half then you obviously weren't there."
as i said already, im against people booing during the match. i was defending people who boo at the end, which i thought was clear by me saying im against people booing during the match. so obviously im defending the people who just booed at the end. im against the people who booed during the game.
i dont know how to explain it any clearer greame.
im defending people who boo at the end of the match. the people who booed during the game is nothing to do with me or my argument. as iv clearly stated, im against booing during the game.
hope u understand now.
I think you both have a point. I don't like booing at any time BUT I think the point SB is making is valid. If you are struggling to make ends meet and you scrape together the price of a ticket and then the Manager selects a dubious team/tactics and they play badly and lose, then I can see why someone might boo. Not that it does any good and you could easily argue it makes the situation worse - but after the game has finished it just lets the team and Manager know what they think.
Obviously it would be better if everybody got behind the team but thats not easy when you lose and played badly. AVB is certainly not making life easy for himself with his current team selection, tactics and bizzare use of players.

I suspect you haven't been to a game in a while because generally when one person starts chanting others follow, which gives the team a lift. I work for my money to pay for my ticket as much as anyone else and the fact that I get behind the team entitles me to feel part of the success.
Its not the message board I take seriously its the people at Saturdays game who think they're really doing any good booing our team, if you think it was just at the end of each half then you obviously weren't there.
"So, the fact that I left school at 16 and spent many years in the Army, serving in some dire places, seeing things that nobody should have to see, then getting a 'normal' job, working my backside off to make my way up the ladder to get to a senior management position with a decent disposable income means I'm not entitled to be as passionate and not as 'good a supporter'?"
theres no point us debating if u are going to argue things im not disagreeing with.
a lot of people seem to do that.
"I'm not entitled to be as passionate and not as 'good a supporter'?""
where did i say u werent entitled???????!!!!!!!!!!!!
where did i say u werent as good a supporter????!!!!!
i was just saying- i think poor people with little disposable income who save for ages to see spurs have the right to boo at the end of the game if the team hasnt performed or showed heart.
i also said the fact they save up their small amount of disposable income for ages to see spurs, makes them a good supporter in my view. even if they boo at the end of a game where we didnt perform or show heart.
no where did i say u are any less of a supporter or not entitled to be as passionate.
thats the problem with society today, everyone thinks its all about them. me, me ,me!
why am i less entitled to, why arent i as gooder supporter.
there are other people besides u greame.
cant wait to see what the next argument i didnt disagree about u will fire at me!
greame, im not using hindsight. before any home match against a team like norwich, too do the following isnt logical or likely to be effective-
little defoe on his own upfront with 2 DM's including livermore.
he could play friedel upfront & when it didnt work, u could just say "I suspect you will pick it based on who you feel played will using the gift of hindsight."
nothing to do with hindsight! friedel is a goalkeeper.
im over exaggerating the example to show u my point.
"Then you join the list of people that I'm ashamed of finding myself associated with."
a stranger on an internet forum really isnt worth getting ashamed over. there are bigger things in life greame! dont take a message board so seriously.
yes, i do think u should go to a match to encourage a team. i dont agree with booing before or during a match. but after is fine with me. its a bit late to encourage a team when the match is finished.
also, no offence but i think u are very naive & hugely over exaggeratting what impact u shouting "coys" has on the team. but if your delusions make u feel as much of the teams success as the players, then each to their own!
maybe u should shout come on jenas & he will magically turn in to a good player!

I've been swimming every day now for a month. Every day I do 25 laps. Except that I do yoga before sleep (not much, some leg exercises and about 5 asanas). Sometimes instead of swimming I run 1- 2 miles. One day a week I take a break- either work out less or don't do anything at all.
At the beginning, first couple of days, I felt a little muscle pain- nothing extraordinary. It was gone after a week. 2- 3 days ago joints pain has started- my elbows, arms, knees and hips are killing me. I don't know what may be the cause. Any ideas?
Thank you for help.
You should insist on doing exercise, and it is natural at the begining ,I think . but you can decrease your intensity a little .
Hello Paulina,
First of all, I want to send you my best wishes in your recovery. Pain is what it is. But it is also a very important signal. I have dealt with various injuries in my life: I played competitive tennis in my youth and later went on to swim in Masters competitions in college and am a Registered Yoga Teacher. I am also a PhD candidate in physiology at UCLA. I say all this not to drive up my ego but to tell you that I'm not a quack.
One more thing about me: last year I was in a serious bike / car accident and had some awful experiences with doctors and physical therapists. And then I finally decided to take things into my own hands and started searching for self-help methods of healing. I came upon Pete Egoscue and his Egoscue Method. And it totally changed my life. Please read my blog for more information:
Simply put, if you read about and follow Pete's program, not only will you find relief from your pain, but you will enjoy your activities more and more. Promise.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
My best,
Thank you for help! Just wanted to let you know, that I'm better. I decreased intensity but I kept going and all pain is gone. Now I can enjoy myself. Have a great week!
Also, One type of joint pain remedy which is getting a lot of attention is Omega-3 fatty acids such as those found in fish oils. They can help support the immune system. This can help improve situations where the body is attacking its own joints. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids can be an excellent addition to your diet and can improve general health in addition to reducing joint pain.
I am also a PhD candidate in physiology at UCLA. I say all this not to drive up my ego but to tell you that I'm not a quack.

Nearly 75 percent of the 275 children who participated in Hannibal's annual frog jump on Saturday, July 6, "rented" their frogs from Boy Scout Troop 100, according to Scoutmaster Chris Doyle.
Children jumped their frogs in two age divisions. Doyle reported the following winners.
• Age 5 and under: First place - Laithin Lair of Quincy, Ill.; Second - Stella Young, Overland Park, Kan.; and Tucker Gergen, Hannibal
• Age 6 and over - First place - Andrew Young; Second - Makenzie Davidson; and Third - Jace Lair
The youngest winner was Laithin Lair, who is 11 months old, Doyle said, adding that Tucker Gergen's family has recently moved to Hannibal.
This was the first year Boy Scout Troop 100 sponsored the frog jump, a National Tom Sawyer Days event, after providing the frogs for rent in earlier years.
The Scout Troop was also selling frog jump T-shirts, and a large number were purchased, Doyle said.
The funds raised will help support Troop 100's activities, he said. "They will help us continue to do service projects throughout the city and help boys go to summer camp and two young men go to the National Jamboree in Virginia."
The two going to the National Jamboree are Life Scout Keith Ehert and Eagle Scout Doug Bross.
Troop 100 is sponsored by First Presbyterian Church. It is among 28 Scout units - including both Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops - in the Mark Twain District, which is part of the Great Rivers District.
Boys may join the Cub Scouts at age 6 and the Boy Scouts at 10.5 years.
For more details about how to join the Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts call Doyle at (573) 221-5285.

Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2011
WASHINGTON -- Beneficiaries of the TRICARE military health plan can obtain 90 days of home-delivered medication with no copayment and can get free vaccinations at participating pharmacies without seeing a doctor.
These measures can make life a bit simpler for beneficiaries of the military health plan, Navy Rear Adm. (Dr.) Christine Hunter, TRICARE Management Activity's deputy director, said in an Aug. 26 interview.
"We're trying to encourage people to use TRICARE's home delivery for a 90-day supply of generic medication, because by Oct. 1, there will be no copay," she said.
Many people get their prescriptions filled at military treatment facilities, which remains "our referred place for people to go," Hunter said. No changes exist in the cost of prescriptions from military hospital pharmacies, she said. Some 70 percent of TRICARE beneficiaries obtain generic medications, and those kinds of medications will be home-delivered in a 90-day supply at no copayment, Hunter said.
For beneficiaries who use TRICARE pharmacies, however, the retail cost of generic medications will increase from $3 to $5 for a 30-day supply, Hunter said, and brand-name medications will increase from $9 to $12 for a 30-day supply.
According to TRICARE's website, DOD established a uniform list of covered brand-name and generic drugs, as well as a third tier of drugs designated as "non-formulary." Prescriptions for non-formulary medications can be dispensed, but at higher cost to beneficiaries, unless the provider can establish medical necessity.
Hunter said a one-month supply of a non-formulary medication will cost $25 at a TRICARE pharmacy. "So, it's always better to use TRICARE home delivery for any chronic medications," she said.
Hunter suggested that people use home delivery "when they know they can tolerate a new medication, know they're going to be on it awhile, or it's something they've been taking."
The home delivery plan saves time and money for beneficiaries, and the government also benefits from the savings, Hunter noted.
"When you get your medications through TRICARE home delivery, the government gets a volume discount," she explained. "And it's cheaper for our beneficiaries, because they get a 90-day supply for zero copay."
TRICARE's mail orders for prescriptions grew by about 10 percent in 2010, the admiral said. At the same time, she added, retail growth decreased about 3.9 percent, producing a medication savings of $30 million, and people received their medications more conveniently at home.
In addition to prescription home-delivery savings, Hunter said, TRICARE offers beneficiaries seasonal flu shots, school vaccinations and other immunizations.
Beneficiaries can get most of their vaccinations from participating TRICARE pharmacies, eliminating the need to schedule clinic appointments, Hunter said.
"It's also a great time to update your family [vaccine] checklist so you keep everyone healthy," Hunter said.
Many schools require an update on vaccines and immunizations before children return to school, she noted. Parents typically look at a tetanus booster and other immunizations for their children, she said, and the meningococcal vaccine for children going off to college. People who plan to travel might consider a hepatitis vaccine, she added.
"Flu shots are recommended for just about everybody these days, and are available at our TRICARE pharmacies," Hunter said. "But what people might not know is the pertussis [whooping cough] vaccine is recommended for more and more adults, especially for those with small children."
In the past year or so, Hunter and her staff began to make a limited number of vaccines available at TRICARE pharmacies for flu shots, the influenza A [subtype H1N1] virus, and the pneumonia vaccine. TRICARE provided 300,000 vaccines that first year, she said, and the program has expanded to all immunizations normally covered under the TRICARE preventive medicine benefit with no copayment.
Some limitations exist, Hunter noted. Pharmacy participation varies, some facilities stock only certain vaccines, and some don't immunize children. Others provide vaccinations only on certain days and times, she explained.
"Call ahead to make sure they have the vaccine, and if someone's there to give it," Hunter said. "There is no copay. It is part of TRICARE's preventive care, and we want people to be able to get it conveniently and easily."
The admiral also suggested going to TRICARE's website to find participating pharmacies by area.

While the Angels of Death sent their parents to the gas chambers, an Angel of Life rescued and raised hundreds of Jewish children.
IWhen World War II broke out in all its fury, Reb Yona Tiefenbrunner was a simple German Jew who had just begun building a family. But then, in a heartbeat, he made a life choice that few of us would ever be able to contemplate, much less embrace, and changed his life forever.
R' Yona opened an orphanage in Antwerp under the ever watchful eyes of the Gestapo. Overnight, he became a hero, a father to hundreds of traumatized and tortured Jewish orphans. This is his story. The children referred to him simply as "Monsieur," but they knew that he would risk his life to save them. Courageous, defiant, and unyielding, R' Yona infused his orphanage with Torah, love, and tranquility - creating a safe haven in a world of death and destruction. Even when the war was over and others tried to put the past behind them, R' Yona and his wife did not cease to nurture and educate these children as their own; rebuilding their shattered spirits and giving them a chance at life.
This is a gripping tale of altruism and self sacrifice in the face of terrible danger, of miraculous salvation, and of the healing power of love. It is a testimony to the phenomenal powers of devotion and steadfast faith, and a lesson in how they can spur us onto to accomplish great things.
A compelling story of salvation and selflessness, Angel of Orphans pays tribute to an ordinary man of extraordinary courage — a hero whose legacy is eternal.

Letterman signs contract extension with CBS
Published: Friday, October 4, 2013 at 3:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 4, 2013 at 3:23 p.m.
NEW YORK - CBS says David Letterman has signed a contract extension to remain host of the "Late Show" into 2015.
The deal keeps Letterman on the air well beyond the exit of rival Jay Leno, who is being replaced next winter at NBC's "Tonight" show by Jimmy Fallon.
Letterman joked on Friday that he had a lengthy talk with CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves and that "we both agreed that I needed a little more time to fully run the show into the ground."
Letterman already has the longest tenure of any late-night talk show host in U.S. television history, 31 years and counting since he began at NBC in 1982.

As Masters week approaches, homeowners in the area are prepping for visitors to rent their homes. (WRDW-TV / March 21, 2012)
News 12 at This Morning / Wednesday, March 21, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Masters Golf Tournament is less than two weeks away, and as groundskeepers tend to the greens on the course, some area homeowners are taking special care of their own lawns as well.
The Smiths are working toward sheer perfection. Every blade of grass is in place, and every new leaf turned. They are in spring cleaning mode in preparation for the Masters.
"We rented our home a number of times," said Toxey Smith, a Columbia County homeowner.
Smith and his wife speak from experience when they talk about putting up a home for rent. Smith is a home builder, and his wife is in the business of showing and selling homes.
"Curb appeal is the first to get someone in the house," Smith said.
The first impression really does matter: from how green your lawn looks to the flowers that are in bloom.
Dustin VanHouse, with Bulldawgs Total Lawn Care said, "Some people will call us a month in advance and some people wait until the last minute just like with everything else."
VanHouse has seen business grow every year during the Masters for the past 14 years.
"What makes it so unique is we have the azaleas," he said. "We're the Garden City and everyone wants their place to look fantastic."
Cleaning, fertilizing and all that landscaping can rake in some big bucks.
"We've run across jobs that run up and beyond the six-figure mark," VanHouse said.
He says on average, though, a job can cost a couple hundred dollars, and when every detail matters, homeowners can have some over-the-top requests.
"There was a customer that requested one time that the hedges get trimmed and that you go to each individual leaf and cut in half and twist the leaf off on each," he added.

Big bass, sturgeon and trout biting at Lake Cuyamaca
Catching one sturgeon is tough enough, but for a couple to land one each in one day of fishing, that's extremely rare.
But that's what Joe Freund and Ana Mendez of Buena Park did last week. They were using light line and baiting live night crawlers when they landed huge sturgeon while fishing on the west side of the Lake Cuyamaca Finger Jetty. Joe's sturgeon went 18 pounds, 12 ounces, and Ana's weighed 23 pounds, 4 ounces. They caught the lunkers on 6-pound test line.
Known more for its trout, Cuyamaca busted out another big bass last week, too, when ranger Jay Blaylock, fishing on his time off, caught and released a 10-pound, 8-ounce bass. Trout fishing remains solid at Cuyamaca in the wake of trout plants from the Department of Fish and Wildlife, Mt. Lassen and Jess Ranch.
At Lake Hodges, Tom Leedom and Matt Menzel won the El Cajon Ford Day Series tournament with a stringer of five bass totaling 30.06 pounds, with a big bass hefting 6.45 pounds. They used square-billed crankbaits in the Narrows. Stu Hinkle and Ed Woods finished second with five bass totaling 21.30 pounds, but topped their stringer with a 7.12-pound big bass. The next El Cajon Ford Day Series tournament is May 4, but in between there's the first El Cajon Night Series tournament set for April 27 at El Capitan. For information on day and night tournaments, call Jim Sleight at (619) 447-0244 or email him at email@example.com or check www.sdteamseries.com.
Santee Lakes has started its catfish season with a bang, turning out limits of catfish from Lakes 3, 6 and 7. Lakes 6 and 7 are campers-only lakes. Check www.santeelakes.com for lakefront camping or cabin information. Bass fishing also is exceptional right now at Lakes 1 and 2. The next catfish stocking is April. 26 with 1,000 pounds set for the lakes.
Lake Jennings starts its night fishing program May 17. The lake is being stocked with channel catfish, with 2,000 pounds set to arrive the last week of April.
Ocean fishermen are staying busy with a good rockfish bite. The Coronado Islands remain up and down for yellowtail. John Yamate, manager and part owner of Seaforth Sportfishing, has landed five yellowfin tuna over 200 pounds aboard a long-range trip on the Royal Polaris.
Eddie "Flathead Ed" Wilcox was asleep in a cot on his 24-foot pontoon boat on April 12 at Bartlett Lake northwest of Phoenix in the Tonto National Forest when a giant flathead catfish bit his line and woke him up. Wilcox, 56, arose from his slumber to land the giant catfish, a 76.52-pound flathead that measured 53.5 inches long and sported a 34.75-inch girth. It's the heaviest fish of any species to be landed in Arizona.
The 34th Annual Day at the Docks, a celebration of the sea and the unique, local sportfishing industry, is Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Point Loma sportfishing landings. Admission and parking are free. Dozens of vendors, fishing seminars, boat rides on sport boats and cooking demonstrations all day long.
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation will pump in $2.9 million for elk and wildlife-related conservation projects in the U.S. this year in the 27 states with wild, free-ranging elk populations. California will get $327,000 of it, second only to Wyoming's $481,285. Another $570,000 will go to hunting heritage programs.
