The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications only as recommended by your doctor, and according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
If you have high blood pressure , hyperlipidemia , or diabetes , medications will likely be ordered to control these conditions. Leakage of protein from the urine is treated with two drugs used in the treatment of high blood pressure: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). In addition, medications may be needed to treat complications of kidney disease. There are no medications to cure or reverse kidney failure.
Recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin alfa)
In chronic renal disease, a disturbance in calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D metabolism leads to a condition called secondary hyperparathyroidism . It is characterized by abnormally high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the blood. The high PTH levels lead to uremic bone disease. Cinacalcet HCL is effective in lowering the elevated PTH levels in chronic renal failure patients. It is taken by mouth.
Possible side effects include:
Diuretics help rid the body of excess fluid. These medications are sometimes referred to as water pills. Diuretics may be taken by mouth or, in some cases, by injection.
Possible side effects include:
Common name: Renagel
This agent, which is taken by mouth, binds phosphate to prevent increased blood phosphate levels that can lead to weakening of bones. The medication does not contain calcium, aluminum, or magnesium.
Possible side effects include:
Typically taken orally, sodium bicarbonate may be ordered if you develop a condition called metabolic acidosis. This is an excess of acid in the blood due to alterations in metabolism from kidney failure.
If you need to use sodium bicarbonate, you should review your dietary sodium intake with your physician or dietician. This medication will increase the sodium in your diet.
Calcium supplements are given to bind phosphate to maintain phosphate levels within a range that will not increase bone loss. These drugs are taken orally.
Possible side effects include:
Whenever you are taking a prescription medication, take the following precautions:
Call your healthcare provider if you develop side effects from the medications or you have:

Mitch Richmond, the NBA Rookie of the Year with the Warriors and a member of their famed Run TMC triumvirate from 1989-91, was voted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Monday.
Drafted fifth overall out of Kansas State in 1988, Richmond averaged 22.7 points per game in three seasons with the Warriors before being traded to the Sacramento Kings for Billy Owens.
"I couldn't be more honored, excited and overjoyed to be a part of the Hall of Fame," said Richmond, a six-time All-Star who is 37th on the NBA scoring list at 20,497 points. "Words cannot really express how I truly feel right now."
Richmond, 48, will enter the Hall with former Warriors teammate Sarunas Marciulionis in the induction ceremony Aug. 8 in Springfield, Mass. Marciulionis, a former Lithuania star, was elected in February by the international committee.
A third former Warrior will be enshrined with the class of 2014. The late Guy Rodgers was voted in by the veterans committee.
Joining Richmond as being voted in Monday were former Georgetown and NBA star Alonzo Mourning, NCAA championship-winning coaches Nolan Richardson and Gary Williams and the Immaculata College women's team that won three straight national titles in the 1970s.
They joined the previously announced class of 2014 that includes retired NBA commissioner David Stern.
Stern went in via the contributors committee, and former Indiana Pacers coach Bob "Slick" Leonard was chosen by the ABA committee. The late Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton of the New York Knicks was chosen by the early African-American pioneers committee.
Richmond averaged 21.0 points per game in 14 NBA seasons: three with the Warriors, seven with Sacramento, three with Washington and his final one with the Los Angeles Lakers, when he won his only title.
His best years were on losing teams in Sacramento. He averaged a career-high 25.9 points for a 34-48 team in 1996-97 and was the All-Star game MVP in 1995.
"You can judge me and you can judge my game," Richmond said. "I'm a Hall of Famer."
Richmond, fellow Hall of Famer Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway formed the high-scoring trio known as Run TMC, which was broken up after only two seasons when Richmond was shipped to Sacramento in November 1991.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

C-sharp minor -- the mere words conjure up a sense of anxious edge, which is the feeling that drives "A Late Quartet." Starring Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Mark Ivanir as the players, this is a chamber piece about chamber musicians that is set to Beethoven's emotional Opus 131 string quartet -- in C-sharp minor.
As much as the movie is shaped by the piece -- Opus 131 is a complex, demanding work -- "A Late Quartet" is not really about the music. Director Yaron Zilberman, a chamber music fan, is using the intimate collaboration required of a string quartet to examine the way in which lives become dangerously entangled over time.
The nature of a quartet creates a closed and at times claustrophobic universe that often works in the filmmaker's favor. But at times, it seems to constrain this exceptional acting ensemble, asked to play such a diverse and dissonant range of emotional notes.
The film opens just as the Fugue String Quartet is about to begin its 25th season. Peter Mitchell (Walken), the group's revered cellist, is dealing with the death of his wife and a Parkinson's diagnosis that will end his playing. That cloud turns into a raging storm that threatens to not only divide the quartet, but destroy the very deep bonds between the musicians.
At risk is the long marriage between second violinist Robert Gelbart (Hoffman) and Juliette (Keener), known for her emotionally resonant viola. There are rising tensions as well between Robert and first violinist Daniel (Ivanir) when Robert dares to covet the first violin chair. There is Juliette's grief over Peter's illness -- he raised her as his daughter after her parents died -- and the suggestion that Daniel might actually be the man she loves.
As if those weren't complications enough, there is a budding relationship between Daniel and the Gelbarts' beautiful and talented daughter Alexandra (Imogen Poots). It is but one of the relationships in the film that is difficult to buy. The introduction of Robert's running partner, a gorgeous flamenco dancer (Liraz Charhi), becomes a credulity-straining problem as well.
Hoffman, however, is completely invested in making you believe he is a world-class violinist, fitful in his second chair, and in that, he is masterful as always. The strains in Robert and Juliette's marriage feel real enough, never better expressed than in the sniping quarrel they have in the back of a taxi -- a whispered exchange with words spit out like spoiled fruit. The overly polite sparring is priceless.
Despite all the upheaval and multiple stories, the script is spare. The film is shot with a spareness as well, by director of photography Frederick Elmes, the lens lingering on the warm woods and exquisite lines of the instruments as often as the faces.
The music itself is heart-wrenching, the esteemed Brentano String Quartet playing the Opus excerpts and the film's composer, Angelo Badalamenti, creating a score that complements Beethoven in remarkable ways.
But Zilberman's minimalistic approach fits the idea of the film better than it fits the actual film. It leaves this melancholy mood piece with some beautiful moments, but unlike Beethoven's work, "A Late Quartet" ultimately feels unfinished.

Roger to play his third final this year
Roger defeated Russia's Mikhail Youzhny 6-2 6-3 to reach the final of the Dubai Open. Roger will now either meet second-seeded Spaniard Rafael Nadal or unseeded German Rainer Schüttler in Saturday's final.
Although the score suggests it was a straightforward match for the Swiss top seed, a strangely inconsistent performance from Roger in the first set meant he fell behind in his first four service games. He had to fight off four break points in the opening game and although he broke to lead 2-0 when Youzhny netted a weak backhand, Roger faced another three break points in the next game. He also fell behind 0-30 in his remaining two service games of the set but often followed up by playing sublime tennis to pull himself out of trouble.
After holding off an eighth break point when leading 4-2, Roger broke again for the set when Youzhny made a forehand error. The second set was more comfortable for Roger as he raised his game and often ended rallies by changing the pace and forcing errors from his opponent. The outcome of the set still hinged on just one break of serve. That came in the seven-deuce second game after Youzhny failed to win any of five game points and then double-faulted on break point.
"Overall, I played well in the match," Roger commented. "I'm very happy, I just tried to win it."
Deep within you know you can WIN...WIN...WIN and that's what's important. No more needs to be said.
Your favorite and MOST SENIOR fan in NJ.

We drove into Charlotte from Tampa, Florida the day before the show, with five of us crammed in a Toyota. Despite the close quarters, everyone was pretty excited. This would be my first show since Greensboro in March, and my first amphitheater show since the "Crosseyed Antelope" West Palm Beach show from the fall of 1996. My anticipation pulsed from within. I love the build-up to a show.
Upon waking up in the hotel on the day of the show, the television was flipped on and there were the dead bodies of Uday and Qusay Hussein. I silently raged at the idea that pictures of the dead bodies of people that the US Army had hunted down and killed would be provided by the government to the media for ceremonial display over the national airwaves. Is this a sick country or what? All of my excitement drained from me for a moment, and I had to remind myself where I was. A decision was quickly reached to turn off the TV, get some lunch and scout out the venue. Why focus on all the negativity? I saw no reason to, and off we went.
After killing the day around Charlotte and trying to avoid television, we finally parked at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater at around 5:00 PM. Gates were still closed so my group found some shade, munched a snack and listened to a crisp "My Soul" sound check from under some trees. It sounded great, and my excitement returned. I get a little impatient, and I could not wait for the show to start.
I was inside pretty quickly once the gates finally opened. On the inside, the amphitheater looked exactly like the West Palm Beach venue from `96. I had an idea that my seat was good, but no online seating chart could prepare me for the reality of fifteen row, center. Dead center. These were not only the best seats I had ever had at a Phish show; these were the best seats I had ever had for any show, period. As the sun beat down on my back, an agonizing wait ensued.
The section in front of the stage was slow to fill, and when the band took the stage I was shocked to see them. I thought the place was empty, until I turned around and realized that it was only the rows in front of me that were empty. Behind me was the typical Phish madhouse.
The band kicked into the "Funky Bitch" opener and we were off and dancing. At fifteen rows back dead center with no one standing in front of you for several rows, it really looks like Trey is starring right at you. My companions all felt that Trey was looking at them as well. Although I understand that Trey was looking at everyone in the arena and no one in particular, it does help illustrate one of the "secrets" of Phish's success: they seem to be playing to all of us all of the time.
Another oft-discussed "secret" of Phish's success is the unpredictable nature of each show. I had a "Chalk Dust" opener at my first show, as had two people I was with. This was one friend's first show, so naturally we were all calling a "Chalk Dust" opener. When "Funky Bitch" started, I laughed and forgot all about "Chalk Dust""...until they went into it next! A double opener. This was followed by "Two Versions of Me", a new ballad that sucked the life out of the venue. Not a bad song, but after the explosive release of the first two songs, I wasn't ready for a breather.
A really good "Bathtub Gin" and a solid "Limb By Limb" provided the jammy meat of the set. The set closer of "Golgi" "Character Zero" had me smiling. What better way to close a set that began with a double opener? During "Zero", I couldn't hear Trey sing the chorus because the crowd had drowned him out. All in all, a very good Set I.
During set break, while on a non-moving line for water I met a hysterical guy from Atlanta who rolled through ten minutes of stand up comedy while clutching a balloon he had caught. His standard refrain: "This is my first Phish show! I just can't handle it!" After finally getting some water I got back to my seat just as set two began.
Ah, set two. The triple double. Set two in Charlotte is the reason I go to Phish shows. How do you open a set that has it all? A rocking "Drowned" "Kung", that's how. I must admit, "Kung" had me pretty confused until my brother, perhaps seeing the confusion on my face, leaned over and clued me in. After the intense drama of the set openers, the band kept up the energy with a tight "Twist" "Heavy Things". At this point I didn't think the band could top what had already occurred during the show, but I was excited to see what they would try next.
At some point during Set II, Trey started talking to Mike. After a minute of this, Trey burst into hysterical laughter. Someone had a good idea. That idea: a set closing segue of "Harry Hood" "David Bowie". The "Hood" in particular was a monster. Thirty minutes of complete insanity. At times during the "Hood" I felt the universe open up a little bit, the sound of the music tearing through the thin veil of reality. This built to an out of control, tear the shed down ending, with Fishman's "Bowie" intro emerging from the Chaos. At the moment that "Bowie" kicked in, I thought of the guy from set break. I was about to explode, so I really hoped he was okay. The "Bowie" was a suitably rocking version, although nowhere near as devastating as the "Hood". As the song reached its peak and the band began the start/stop part at the end, I was amazed to see the effect the music was having on the audience. From complete stillness to absolute bedlam in the time it takes Fishman to hit a snare drum. A great end to a great set.
In between the end of the set and the encore someone brought out the a cappella mics and I was pissed. I knew that "Carolina" would emerge, and I feared it was going to become standard issue at all Carolina shows. Of course, I can be an idiot sometimes, and when the band came out and started an a cappella "Star Spangled Banner" I felt like a dope. "Bug" followed, and as the song progressed I couldn't help but make a connection between the encore and the news of the morning. The national anthem followed by a song with lines like "it doesn't matter". Phish managed to remind me that if you focus on the negative, you never see the positive. There is a lot right going on all around us, even if the TV news can't see it.
On the slow walk out of the amphitheater I looked around and wondered what it would be like to leave a show in a crowd three times the size of the group in Charlotte and then all go camp together. My next show would be IT, and IT was only a week away. If the "Harry Hood" was any indication, traveling to Maine would be well worth it.

The University of Leeds has won the Whatuni Student Choice Award for Best City Life, as well as being ranked the fifth best university in the top 100 as rated by students.
The University of Leeds has won the Whatuni Student Choice Award for Best City Life, as well as being ranked the fifth best university in the top 100 as rated by students.
For the results in full click here.
Analysis of over 25,000 student reviews on website Whatuni.com, has revealed that the Yorkshire-based institution topped the category for best city life, also scoring highly in the overall category placing fifth in the best university category.
The league table ranks 125 universities across 10 categories - accommodation, city life, clubs and societies, courses and lecturers, job prospects, student union, facilities, support services and an overall rating - with institutions considered for an award if they meet a minimum threshold of reviews, depending on the size of institution.
According to the data, for the second year in a row, overall student satisfaction has gone up; rising from 81 per cent in 2015 to 83 per cent this year. However, four areas have seen significant drops, including job prospects, student support, clubs and societies, and student unions.
Dr David Llewellyn, vice-chancellor of Harper Adams University, said: "We are thrilled to have been named the University of the Year.
"The fact that these awards are based on student reviews is immensely important to us, because they recognise the dedication of everyone at Harper Adams in building a strong academic community that delivers a positive experience for our students."

The goal is synergy.
And Paul Simon and Sting are hoping to experience it in abundance during their much-heralded On Stage Together tour, which touches down Monday at the SAP Center in San Jose. These stars are looking to inspire each other to great heights.
"I think it's not so much a spirit of competition between us," Sting told Rolling Stone magazine. "It's just raising each other's game to be together. I feel I have to raise my game to be onstage with him."
It's only fitting that these musicians are now sharing a stage, given how much their legendary careers have had in common.
Sure, it might not seem that way at first glance. After all, Simon came to fame in the '60s, singing precious folk tunes with Art Garfunkel, Sting burst onto the scene in the '70s, as the leader of the new wave juggernaut the Police.
Examine their careers, however, and you'll find the similarities. It's those, we believe, that will make for great synergy onstage.
Sting and Simon are likely to perform separately and together on this tour, maybe even singing each other's songs. That should be a huge treat for the performers, who form a kind of mutual admiration society, and for fans.
"He's the master," Sting said of Simon in an Associated Press interview. "If I ever wanted to emulate a literary and literate songwriter, then Paul Simon would be the person I would go to."
So let's look back over their careers with a lens that magnifies the similarities:
School days: Both are well-educated. Sting studied at the University of Northumbria in Newcastle to become a teacher; Simon majored in English at Queens College in New York and then attended Brooklyn Law School. They were drawn to the books but not as much as to music.
Jazz influences: Sting cut his teeth in jazz bands during his early 20s, before turning to rock 'n' roll. He later returned to a jazzier sound, albeit untraditional, during his solo career. Simon was also interested in jazz, yet a passion for Everly Brothers-type harmonies pulled him in a different direction. But he still has the chops to share a stage with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, as he did in 2012.
What's in a name: Legend has it that Gordon Sumner liked to wear a yellow-and-black striped sweater that made him look like a bee; hence the nickname "Sting." As teen stars, Simon & Garfunkel used the moniker "Tom and Jerry." (If they hadn't changed that name, lawyers for MGM -- the studio behind the "Tom and Jerry" cartoon franchise -- might have had something to say.)
Act 1: Both artists came to fame as members of acts rather than soloists. That loomed large when each finally embarked on a solo career -- making some wonder whether they could escape the shadow of their past. But that challenge seemed to motivate and inspire each musician.
Transatlantic parallels: Simon moved to England to pursue a brief solo career in the mid-'60s, after the first Simon & Garfunkel album flopped. It was there that he met girlfriend Kathy Chitty, who is said to have inspired such classics as "Kathy's Song" and "America." His time in England was cut short when he learned that "The Sound of Silence" had become the No. 1 hit in the U.S., solidifying Simon & Garfunkel for years to come. Sting took a major step toward a solo career while on tour with the Police in the U.S. According to legend, he decided to leave the Police while the band was performing at New York's Shea Stadium in 1983.
Impressive debuts: Both artists experienced huge solo success right out of the gate. Sting's solo album "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" (1985) featured hits such as "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" and "Fortress Around Your Heart." He earned several Grammy nominations and quickly achieved triple-platinum sales. Simon's first post-Garfunkel disc, released in 1972, was hailed by critics and devoured by fans. It featured two of the songwriter's best tunes -- "Mother and Child Reunion" and "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard."
Beyond pop: The solo careers of each musician have demonstrated a willingness to embrace various musical styles. Simon, a genius in this regard, started his solo career with the reggae-flavored "Mother and Child Reunion" and the gospel-inflected "Loves Me Like a Rock," among others. Then he turned to a South African sound with the 1986 career highlight "Graceland." Sting has drawn heavily from world-music styles, as heard on the Middle Eastern-flavored "Desert Rose." And he never lost his taste for jazz. His first solo album featured talented jazz musicians, including saxophonist Branford Marsalis, and won him a Grammy nomination for best jazz instrumental performance.
Rock and Roll of Hall of Fame: Simon is a two-time inductee, enshrined in 1990 for his Simon & Garfunkel work and then again as a solo artist in 2001. Sting was inducted in 2003 with the Police, and it's widely believed that someday his solo career will be honored.
Neighbors: Did we mention that Sting and Simon lived in the same (presumably luxurious) New York apartment building for something like 25 years? Now, that's just spooky.

Frit is a simple technique using crushed glass for a speckled effect within the finished piece. The pulverized medium is poured into the vessel while the glass is in a liquid state. When cooled, the "frit"is visible suspended in the solid glass. This effect creates a visually stunning look, and most of all due to the "chaotic and random" use of frit in the glass makes each glass pipe a unique one of a kind piece.

Chiefs select offensive tackle Fisher No. 1 overall
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 7:50 p.m.
NEW YORK — The Kansas City Chiefs took offensive tackle Eric Fisher of Central Michigan to begin the NFL draft Thursday night, then Jacksonville went for Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel.
It was the first time since the 1970 merger that offensive tackles went 1-2.
Fisher became the first player from the Mid-American Conference taken to open the draft. He is the third offensive tackle picked No. 1 overall since the merger, joining Orlando Pace in 1997 and Jake Long five years ago.
Fisher is the first selection by new Chiefs coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey, who entertained trade offers before selecting the 6-foot-7, 306-pound Fisher over All-American Joeckel.
After Commissioner Roger Goodell paid tribute to the first responders at the Boston Marathon bombings and the victims of the West, Texas explosion, he announced Fisher's name. It broke a string of four straight quarterbacks taken first: Matthew Stafford, Sam Bradford, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck.
This is considered a QB-weak draft.

Michigan lawmakers have taken a first step towards the creation of a "No Call" law. A legislative panel has approved a bill that would limit the number of solicitation calls people receive.
The legislation would allow charities, political groups and public safety organizations to continue calling people, even if their names are on the list. Also, companies could make calls to current customers or anyone who would give prior approval for solicitation calls.
Even though it doesn't stop all calls, it would greatly reduce the number of calls.
Either the Michigan Public Service Commission, or an outside contractor would establish the "No Call" list.

Clemson and USC coaches will be waiting on decisions from two prospects each Wednesday morning. Everything else on their respective boards is complete.
The Tigers are expecting to land DB Adrian Baker over Oklahoma. They are hopeful of picking up DB Mackensie Alexander over Auburn, Mississippi State and others. The only other uncommitted prospect on Clemson's board is OL Tyrone Crowder but he's been locked in with Clemson for weeks.
Should Clemson fail with Baker and/or Alexander, the Tigers could offer DB Ryan Carter who made a recent official visit but was not offered.
USC is now a strong favorite to land LB Skai Moore of Fort Lauderdale over Vanderbilt and Rutgers. The Gamecocks and Florida State appear 50-50 for DL Keith Bryant as of Tuesday night.
The Gamecocks did not sent a letter of intent to LB Tyrell Lyons who will stand with his commitment to Florida State.

Workers at Contra Costa's county hospital could never quite figure out Barry White Jr.
One said he would wear earbuds and ignore other staff at the Martinez facility. And it's unclear how the 23-year-old Antioch man, suspected of killing two San Francisco jewelry store employees and critically injuring the owner in July, worked for almost a decade, earning $66,000 in total compensation over that time, as a student-worker when he lacked the one fundamental requirement -- he wasn't a student.
One employee, who wished to remain anonymous and is not authorized to speak to media, said it was nepotism -- White's aunt works at the hospital and his mother works for the county's personnel division.
"It appeared he had no official duties," the employee said. "He had two words in his title, 'student' and 'worker.' No one believes he did either of those."
White's attorney, Steve Taxman, said White never attended college, so it's unclear how he qualified for the student-worker position, which requires applicants to be enrolled in school or an approved training program.
"The Health Services Department is reviewing whether he was still a student while employed," said Kate Fowlie, department spokeswoman. She said he worked since December 2004 in the radiology department, while still a minor. His duties including filing, distributing mail and reports and making copies.
White never received a background check after his 2004 hiring, Fowlie said. The anonymous health care worker questions workplace security, particularly after White was allowed to continue working after he was accused in 2009 of trying to run over a police officer in Antioch.
Fowlie said she could not discuss confidential personnel actions involving any employee, but said, "The Health Services Department is committed to ensuring a safe environment for staff and those we serve."
She also deflected criticism that White got the eight-year "temporary" job through nepotism.
"Family members of county employees are not barred from working for the county," Fowlie said. "The Health Services Department prohibits student workers from directly reporting to a relative. Barry White Jr. did not report to a family member."
He was fired from the county hospital July 18, the day his charges appeared in media reports.

is a serious medical condition involving your mood, thoughts, and body. It may affect how you feel about things, how you think about things, and how well you eat and sleep. Most people normally experience feelings of sadness, loss, or grief at different times throughout their lives. But depression is generally characterized by more intense feelings, such as hopelessness and worthlessness, and is persistent and recurring in nature.
By making the distinction between the blues and clinical
depression, you can take the appropriate actions that may help improve your mood and quality of life. If you have depression, you will need professional medical treatment, since depression is not something that you can shake off on your own. On the other hand, if you have the blues, there may be a few things you can try to help improve your mood—but only after you are sure your symptoms are not a result of depression.
According to the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV), if five or more of the following symptoms persist for more than two weeks, or if they interfere with work or family life, you may be suffering from one of several different forms of clinical depression.
Contact your doctor for a complete evaluation, which will involve a physical checkup, a family health history, and a psychological evaluation.
Not everyone with depression experiences each of these symptoms. The intensity of the symptoms also varies from person to person.
If you are concerned that you may have depression, contact your healthcare provider or doctor regardless of which symptoms you have noticed.
If you have thoughts of death or suicide, seek help immediately
Depression can be devastating and affect all areas of a person's life, including personal relationships and the ability to work, do recreational activities, or go to school. Because of the false belief that you should be able to get over depression symptoms, some people with depression may not realize that they have a treatable disorder. Or they may be embarrassed or ashamed to seek treatment. However, receiving treatment for depression will not only improve your quality of life, but it may save your life as well. Untreated or inadequately treated depression may lead to suicide.
A variety of effective treatments are available to help people with depression. The main categories are antidepressant medications and psychotherapies (or counseling). Treatment is based on the form of depression and is individualized for each person. Some forms of depression may be treated with psychotherapy alone. Others require antidepressant drugs or a combination of drugs and counseling. Medications bring symptom relief and help correct any underlying deficiency of brain chemicals. Counseling can help you learn more effective ways to deal with depression and the factors that originally caused or triggered it.
The FDA advises that people taking antidepressants should be closely observed. For some, the medications have been linked to worsening symptoms and suicidal thoughts. These adverse effects are most common in young adults. The effects tend to occur at the beginning of treatment or when there is an increase or decrease in the dose. Although the warning is for all antidepressants, of most concern are the SSRI class such as:
Antidepressants need to build up in your system before they work. This can take a couple of weeks. Your doctor will keep track of how you respond to the dosage prescribed. Do not stop taking antidepressants without talking to your doctor to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
For more information about antidepressants, visit the
FDA's website
After you have checked with your doctor to be sure you do not have depression, you may want to try a few of the following suggestions for managing your blues:

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Aug. 3, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Augusta high school football season will soon kick off, and ambulances will be missing from the sidelines.
"The ambulances are definitely needed on site," said PTA president Monique Braswell.
Braswell is upset parents were left in the dark.
"We should have been informed because it is our children out there playing," she said.
Board of Education leaders say they made the move to try and save money.
"One of the issues is there won't be an ambulance on the premises of the high school or middle schools," said Deputy Superintendent Tim Spivey. "But there is an ambulance within five minutes of all the middle school and high schools."
Braswell says that is not good enough.
"Five minutes can make a big difference in the injury of a child," she said.
The school system is dumping the ambulance trucks for one or two fire department EMTs. They will have a backboard and a jump bag.
Spivey says the move will save the system $24,000.
"$24,000 is not enough money to put a child's life in danger," Braswell said.
"We feel like the plan we are going to go with is going to be equal to or better than we had before," Spivey said.
Gold Cross crews disagree.
"If the patient is in cardiac arrest, if it's a life-threatening emergency," said Matt Paynter with Gold Cross, "they don't have time to wait for additional equipment to get there. It needs to be there."
"You don't feel parents should have been notified?" we asked Spivey.
"Probably in hindsight, it might have helped," Spivey said. "We still feel like it's a good decision."
Braswell could not disagree more.
"Put the $24,000 back into the ambulance," Braswell said. "We need to have the physical ambulance sitting outside."
Gold Cross calls the move unfair. They say they never had a chance to bid on the reduced services.
The deputy superintendent says they will monitor the games to see how things go. He says the system is not against reversing the decision if it becomes necessary.

A Wake Forest University alumnus, Gunderson holds a master of divinity from Emory University in Atlanta, a doctor of ministry from the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, and an honorary doctor of divinity from the Chicago Theological Seminary.
Gunderson is recognized as an expert in congregations and health. For the past seven years, he served as senior vice president of the Faith and Health Division of Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare in Memphis, Tenn., where he developed a new model of congregational health that became widely known as the Memphis Model.
Partnering with about 500 mostly African-American congregations, Methodist achieved measurable improvements in the health of patients in those congregations, including significantly increased longevity, lower mortality and a nearly 40 percent longer time before readmission.
Now Gunderson is bringing that model of care here.
"Our Center for Congregational Health has a vision to build partnerships with congregations to improve the health of their members and—most importantly—their neighbors," he said. "The goal is for us to blend the intelligence of an academic medical center with the grounded intelligence of hundreds of faith partners on the ground."
The plan is to build long-term partnerships with the congregations near our patients of any faith. As a faith-based academic medical center, we already have a head start. "We will start with the 4,300 Baptist congregations that are linked to our organization's governance," Gunderson said, "but we see the complexity of the religious life of our faculty, employees and community as tremendous assets."
CareNet, which provides spiritually sensitive counseling to patients, also counsels clergy of large networks of United Methodist congregations. Our Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program, which is one of the first in the nation, has hundreds of alumni who represent every faith tradition.
Public Health Leader
In addition to his new role in Faith and Health Ministries, Gunderson holds faculty appointments at the Wake Forest School of Divinity and in Public Health Sciences. He became involved in public health by working with former President Jimmy Carter in Atlanta. For a decade, he directed the Interfaith Health Program at The Carter Center. "I continued to partner with The Carter Center when I worked in Memphis," he said. "We worked with physicians, employers, city government and, of course, churches to address stigmas surrounding people with mental health issues so they could get the help they needed."
The Interfaith Health Program moved from The Carter Center to the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, where Gunderson became a research assistant professor in International Health. He also served as a visiting professor in Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.
Faith and Social Innovation
Gunderson has worked extensively with the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. In July, he visited the White House for the fifth time during the last two presidential administrations to discuss faith and social innovation. He serves as secretary for a group of 39 health systems committed to more effective engagement with the poor in their communities.
"This is hard work for everyone," he said, "but Wake Forest Baptist Health is among a small group finding the way." As a leader within our organization, Gunderson is particularly interested in developing and guiding faith and social innovation. "Most people think of faith as our legacy, as part of the past," he said. "I think faith is part of our capacity to be innovative."

Eco-Anxiety and the Power of "Wow"
It's called eco-anxiety, that feeling of stress caused by awareness of environmental issues. I know this because I've been researching it. I know this because I've been feeling it.
And I'm not alone. Psychologists report that an increasing number of patients report feelings of anxiety about the future of the planet. A growing sense that we're losing this fight.

The typical child molester isn't lurking around the playground wearing dark glasses and an overcoat, luring youngsters away with a piece of candy.
"These perpetrators don't look like aliens-in fact they often seem OK. You could have a sex offender in your neighborhood and wouldn't even know it," said Karen Days, president of the Center for Family Safety and Healing in Columbus.
Sex abusers are often portrayed as older men, but she said that's not always the case.
"Thirty percent of the sex offenders are not over the age of 18. They're between 12 and 17 years old," Days said.
She added that many incidents of child sex abuse occur within the child's own family unit.
"Parents need to be hyper-vigilant to know if this is happening. Does a situation seem weird, is what this person is doing seem normal?" Days said.

Assistant Washington County Prosecutor Alison Cauthorn often does research for sexual abuse cases. She said abusers hunt for the child that fits their needs.
"They're predators, and they're selective about their prey. (Sexual abuse) is a lifetime pursuit for these people, and they become very skilled at it," she said. "They'll work to build a trusting relationship first. They want to form an emotional bond with the child."
Dr. Avery Zook, a psychologist and team coordinator with the Portage Path Behavioral Health sexual offender program in Barberton, has been counseling abusers for 23 years.
"There is no typical abuser profile," he said. "We really have very little idea about why these people offend."
Zook said some child sex offenders exhibit no tendencies toward that type of behavior earlier in their lives.
"They somehow develop a mental distortion that makes them feel they can justify the act-that it's OK," he said. "But exactly why some people do it and others don't we just don't know."
Most victims of sexual abuse don't go on to become sexual offenders, but about 40 percent of male sex offenders have been sexually abused themselves, Zook said.
He added that there are far fewer female sex offenders, but 90 percent of female offenders have been sexually abused in the past. Zook said it's not clear why there is such a difference.
But he noted that male and female sex offenders are often viewed differently by the public.
"For example, if a female teacher sexually abuses a male student we say she had an affair," Zook said. "I think that's a great disservice to the boy. And how do these kids go on to date age-appropriate people?"
Children are ideal victims for sex abusers because they're naturally curious, easily led by adults, and have an overpowering need for attention and affection, according to Kenneth V. Lanning, former supervisory special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In his 2010 report, "Child Molesters: A Behavioral Analysis," filed with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Lanning says abusers can turn those normal childhood characteristics to their advantage.
Lanning reports the need for attention and affection is often the predator's key to gaining a child's trust.
"Even when they are getting attention and affection at home, children still crave and need it from others in their lives," Lanning wrote. "It is important to realize all children, even those from 'normal' homes and 'good' families, are at risk from such seduction techniques."
But he noted children from dysfunctional homes are the most vulnerable to sex abuse.
"Many victims get to the point where they are willing to trade sex for the attention and affection they get from some child molesters," Lanning added. "It is sad but true in many ways some child molesters treat their victims better than the victim's own parents or guardians do."
Zook said 95 percent of sex offenders are no strangers to the victims.
"They may be a friend, neighbor, step-parent or even a parent of the victim," he said.
Sexual predators may look for children who display some sort of vulnerability, Zook said.
"Children who exhibit low self-esteem and who may not have a good family support system at home are often targeted," he said.
Some sex offenders can be rehabilitated, but it can be a long process, Zook said.
"We encourage them to put as much effort into recovery as they did into the sexual offense," he said. "It's a very selfish act, so we focus on overcoming that selfishness. But it can be very difficult for them. Some genuinely feel terrible about the behavior, but others simply see it as a legal offense and just say the right words so they can avoid jail."
Zook said the good news is that the rate of child sex abuse appears to be declining.
"Children are becoming much more empowered to tell about abuse because they're being given more support now than in the past," he said.
An official at the Noble County Corrections Center said inmates serving time for child sex offenses in any of Ohio's institutions would not be willing to talk for fear of their lives, because the crime is considered so heinous by other inmates.

Gulf platform owner sued over deadly 2012 blast
Published: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 6:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 6:01 p.m.
A Filipino worker who was severely burned in a deadly explosion on an oil platform roughly 17 miles southeast of Grand Isle in the Gulf of Mexico last year is suing the platform's owner and operator.
Lawyers for Renato Dominguez, 53, filed the suit against Houston-based Black Elk Energy on Oct. 16 in a county court in Galveston, Texas.
It seeks unspecified damages from Black Elk and companies Compass Engineering & Consultants in Lafayette, Shamrock Management in Houma and Enviro-Tech Systems in Covington. Dominguez was working as a pipefitter when the November 2012 explosion off the coast of Louisiana injured him and killed three other workers.
Dominguez's attorneys said he has been permanently disfigured by burns on his face and most of his body.
The suit seeks unspecified damages against Black Elk and several other companies. It accuses them of failing to properly train and supervise workers or provide them with adequate safety equipment.
"Renato is seeking justice from the companies whose negligence forever changed his life," Jason Itkin, one of his attorneys, said in a statement Wednesday. "The horror of this accident could have been prevented had the platform operators followed standard safety and workplace regulations."
A Black Elk spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a call and email.
The fixed production platform where the explosion occurred is in 52 feet of water. At the time of the explosion, a pipeline to the shore was being replaced.
In August, a consultant for Black Elk said in a report the explosion happened when workers for a subcontractor used unsafe welding practices.
A separate lawsuit, filed in March by relatives of two of the deceased workers, claims oil vapors ignited when workers cut into a pipe connected to tanks that should have been depressurized and purged before any construction work on the lines.
All three of the workers who died as a result of the explosion worked for Grand Isle Shipyard Inc., which is not part of the suit against Black Elk.

Alice Paul and the Suffrage Movement Gold Coin
Administration of President Chester Arthur, 1881—1885
The Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-145) contains a provision to provide continuity of the First Spouse Gold Coin Program during those times in which a President served without a first spouse. This provision applies to Chester Arthur, whose wife, Ellen Arthur, died before he took office.
In general, the gold coins issued to accompany any President who served without a spouse feature a design emblematic of Liberty on its obverse, as depicted on a U.S. coin issued during the President's time in office. In the case of Chester Arthur, however, the public law specifies that the obverse (heads side) feature:
Beginning in the earliest days of the Nation, women sought the right to vote. By 1917, advocates of women's suffrage, including Alice Paul, were picketing the White House. In January 1918, President Wilson embraced women's suffrage as a "war measure," urging Congress to pass legislation authorizing an amendment granting it. The August 26, 1920, ratification of the amendment gave almost one-half of the entire Nation -- women -- the right to vote.
Reverse Design
The reverse depicts a participant marching in the suffrage parade, holding the flag and wearing a banner that says VOTES FOR WOMEN.
Obverse: ALICE PAUL, IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, 2012 and SUFFRAGIST.
Reverse: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $10, ½ OZ. and .9999 FINE GOLD.

Consulate Attack
Published: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 11:59 p.m.
I have been very frustrated in the type of coverage of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept 11.
Very little interest has been shown by most of our media in getting answers to the many questions surrounding the attack.
The questions pertain to the times prior, during and after the attack.
Why was security there inadequate even after prior attacks on the consulate and communications from the local diplomats expressing security concerns and requesting additional security? Instead, security was decreased.
During the attack was a serious effort made to help those under attack? After the attack the administration blamed an offensive video for days. Why? If it was a delay tactic to run out the clock until after the election, it worked.
The election is now over and the president has been re-elected.
Now, if the Republicans continue their investigation, they will be portrayed as political hacks who are wasting taxpayer money while diverting attention from more important issues such as the economy and job creation.
The Watergate coverup resulted in the resignation of a president, but no one died at Watergate. My concern is that the Benghazi attack resulting in the murder of four Americans will be swept under the rug and no one will be held accountable for anything.
Our Constitution provides for freedom of the press for a reason. The press is supposed to hold the government accountable to the people not provide a shield for the government. If the press becomes protection for the government, who will protect the people?

MARIETTA - A grant of more than $100,000 grant is helping the Washington County Career Center enrich its popular chemical operator program.
Working with the Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development District, the center applied for and received a $110,100 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission to purchase new hands-on training equipment.
"Our chemical class is good, but we're continually trying to make it better," said Jim Siegfried, training coordinator for industrial programs with the career center's Adult Technical Training arm.
The main item in the purchase is a distributive control systems simulator. While each plant will have its own specific system, the simulator will give students experience with the basic operations, Siegfried said.
"It'll shorten the learning curve drastically," he said.
Karl Boelter, plant manager for DuPont Washington Works, said distributive control technology is directly applicable to the company's manufacturing process.
"The availability of this type of classroom training is important to future industrial growth in our region," he said in an emailed statement.
Area chemical companies were involved in the selection of the equipment purchased.
In addition to the distributive control systems simulator, the career center is acquiring a distillation column and pump trainer to replicate other commonly used devices in most chemical plant environments, along with some lab equipment.
"The more times you can put your hands on it, the better prepared you're going to be to do the work," Siegfried said.
The new equipment will be in place by the time the center's 12-week chemical operator and one-year chemical technician classes begin on Sept. 23.
Chemical operators have been in demand lately as many people filling those jobs at area plants approach retirement age. Siegfried said more than 100 hires, some of which have already been made, are expected locally this year, with starting salaries of $17 to $18 an hour or more.
The career center is pairing this grant funding with $125,000 from a $1.1 million federal grant to help offset companies' expense for training new employees.
"Since March 2012 we have provided seven chemical companies with 50 contracts for new employees and committed $247,000 to the companies through the (federal) grant," Siegfried said.
While the need is still there, the window won't stay open this wide indefinitely, he said.
"I think in the next couple of years the demand won't be as strong as it is now unless there are new plants or new lines added to the existing plants," Siegfried said.
The career center is also developing an internship component to its chemical program. And Siegfried noted funding is available to help people in need with tuition.
