If you worry your child has ADHD, it is best to get him checked out by his doctor. ADHD doesn't happen because of a lack of willpower or lack of discipline. While providing clear, consistent expectations, setting limits, and keeping a daily schedule can help kids with ADHD, it is a medical disorder. Seeking out medical advice can help you and your child better manage it.
Even though we don't understand exactly what causes ADHD, we do know that genetics and brain chemistry are involved.
Not all kids with ADHD are restless or hyper. There are actually three types of ADHD:
Predominantly inattentive
-- These kids have problems focusing, are distracted easily, and have trouble following directions or conversations.
Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
-- These kids fidget, talk a lot, are impulsive and/or accident-prone, and can't wait for their turn.
-- These kids have traits from both types. This is the most common.
More than twice as many boys ages 4 to 17 are diagnosed with ADHD -- 13.2% of boys compared to 5.6% of girls.
Girls, though, are more likely to have the predominantly inattentive type of ADHD. Girls' ADHD may be overlooked because their lack of attention is often mistaken for daydreaming and not recognized until they get older. Girls also tend to be less disruptive and less likely to have a learning disability, the red flags teachers often watch for.
What can seem like ADHD symptoms are sometimes just typical kid behaviors. Fidgeting, lack of organization, and inability to listen or follow instructions -- they aren't always symptoms of ADHD.
To diagnose ADHD, some of the things doctors look for include:
the minimum age that symptoms need to be present is 12 years old. If you're concerned about ADHD, schedule an appointment with your child's doctor so you can get it checked out.
As of 2011, 11% of 4- to 17-year-olds were reportedly diagnosed with ADHD. That's up from 9.5% in 2007.
It's not clear whether more kids are developing ADHD, or if more are being diagnosed because of better ways to identify it.
For years, "attention deficit disorder" (ADD) was the term used for a certain type of attention problem.
Today, professionals use "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder," or ADHD, as the umbrella term. There are different subtypes under it. Now, ADD is one of those that usually falls under ADHD. ADD is also known as the "predominantly inattentive" type.
New findings make it possible for doctors to make a diagnosis as early as 4, according to American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Before 2011, the youngest age a child could be diagnosed was 6.
Getting an early diagnosis may help kids start therapies that can improve their odds of success at school.
About two-thirds of children with ADHD also have other conditions or illnesses, such as:
These other conditions can make it more difficult to diagnose ADHD.
The latest thinking is many kids don't outgrow ADHD. About half of kids with ADHD have symptoms as teens and young adults.
Some traits of ADHD, like high energy, can be assets in certain careers. Most importantly, with treatment, kids with ADHD can learn to manage symptoms as they get older.
Typical ADHD treatment has several parts. Between 70% and 80% of children with ADHD respond to stimulant medication. But all stimulants don't work for all kids with ADHD. Several types may need to be tried before you can find the one that works the best.
Behavioral modification, and often, psychological therapy, can teach a child new skills to help him manage his own behavior and interact well with others.
Parents and other caretakers should also learn about ADHD. Learning how to set up systems of rewards and consequences can help your child. It's also important to learn how to manage the stress ADHD can cause you and your child. Family therapy is sometimes part of a treatment program, too.
It may seem odd to give stimulants (Adderall, Concerta, Focalin, Ritalin, Vyvanse) to treat a condition that may feature hyped-up behavior. But these drugs stimulate the parts of the brain needed for impulse control, focus, and organization.
While there's no cure for ADHD, stimulants seem to do a good job of controlling some symptoms for most kids.
The Mediterranean diet is a good choice, but only because it promotes the kind of foods that are healthiest for ALL kids. There's no proof that ADHD can be caused by a poor diet or cured by a special diet.
Health experts agree every child does better in general by eating a balanced diet like the Mediterranean diet.
-- mostly fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and omega-3 fats (found in foods like salmon and walnuts).
-- saturated fats, sugar, and additives or processed foods.
Teachers, aides, and principals aren't qualified to diagnose ADHD. They may point out problems because they've seen similar things in kids they know have ADHD.
That can be helpful, but you need to talk with a health care provider who is trained to diagnose ADHD to find out for sure and get proper treatment.
Although inattention is a classic ADHD symptom, kids with ADHD can focus on stimulating activities. Activities that are full of images, sounds, or physical activity can hold their attention.
It's not because kids with ADHD can turn their attention on and off when they want. Rather, they have a harder time paying attention in certain situations.
Tasks that require focused attention over long periods of time -- such as schoolwork or lectures -- are usually harder.
Great score! You really understand childhood ADHD.
Like many, looks like you're still learning about childhood ADHD. Try taking the quiz again.
Looks like you learned a lot about ADHD. Try taking the quiz again to score higher.

Evonik and Bioamber team up
25.07.2012 - Evonik Industries and BioAmber join forces on catalysts for sustainable chemicals made from bio-based succinic acid.
Under the terms of the agreement, Evonik and Bioamber will jointly develop and manufacture catalysts for making BDO (1,4- butanediol), THF (tetrahydrofurane) and GBL (gamma - butyrolactone) from bio-based succinic acid. BDO, THF and GBL are large volume industrial chemicals used in a wide range of applications including polymers, paints, adhesives and solvents. The global market for these products, currently made from petrochemicals, is $4bn.
The two companies are well known to each other. Back in 2010, they started a joint development programme for a new generation of BDO catalysts. "Through our collaboration with Evonik, we have secured the expertise and capabilities we need to rapidly bring competitive BDO and THF technology to market," said Jean-Francois Huc, BioAmber CEO. "We are fortunate to have a partner of Evonik's calibre who can both optimise and manufacture our immediate catalyst needs and also develop with us a new generation of catalysts," Huc added. Bioamber operates the world's only dedicated production plant for bio-succinic acid in Pomacle, France with a 350,000 litre commercial scale fermenter. The US-based company is pouring more money into building new plants around the globe. Together with Mitsui & Co., it has broken ground in Sarnia, Canada on a 17,000 metric ton bio-succinic acid plant that will be operational in late 2013, with plans to expand capacity to 34,000 metric tons of succinic acid, and a 23,000 metric tons BDO plant in late 2014.
In order to fuel 1st growth, Bioamber has completed its Series C round of financing with net proceeds of $30m. The financing was closed in two tranches; a first tranche of $20m on November last year with existing investors Naxos Capital, Sofinnova Partners, Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and the Cliffton Group. A second tranche of $10m followed this February with specialty chemicals company Lanxess. All of BioAmber's Series B investors participated in the Series C financing.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/evonik-and-bioamber-team-up.html

Lemon juice is so sour it makes you pucker up! Why? It's an acid. When something has a sour taste, it contains acid. The word "acid" comes from "acidus," the Latin word for sour or tart.
Your stomach contains gastric acid to break down (digest) food. Not to gross you out, but that's why it tastes sour and yucky when you throw up. You're tasting some of the stomach acid.
If something's acidic, it will produce carbon dioxide bubbles when combined with baking soda. Carbon dioxide is the same gas you breathe out when you exhale.

A Question
The question is this: Is there an anthology of science fiction stories about drugs?
The dream book that popped into my mind, and one I'm pretty sure doesn't exist, would be a wide-ranging reprint anthology covering everything from mad scientists with weird serums to 1960s psychedelia to cyberpunk narcotics to ... well, I'm blanking on recent druggy SF stories, but I know there are a few.
Lacking that particular book, though, what is there?
8 comments:
Not an anthology, but some Googling found this: a research paper that Robert Silverberg wrote for the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1974: Drug Themes in Science Fiction. (PDF download or a mostly legible HTML page.)ReplyDelete
There's also SciFan's more cumbersome Drugs/Narcotics/Addiction/Psychoactive Substances page.
Here's another option that's not an anthology: On Spec magazine had an addictions theme for its winter 2004/2005 edition. "Addictions" covered more than just drugs though.ReplyDelete

Wow, the Michael Parry anthos look like exactly what I was thinking of. I'll have to go searching for them.ReplyDelete
And John (and Rick, and anybody), I'd be happy to work on such a book if you can find a publisher who wants to do such a thing! Although I don't know what it would do for my teaching career to tell people, "Yeah, I edited this book of stories about drugs..."

I read a story in high school many years ago, in Orbit or some such anthology that made a big impression on me. Unfortunately I don't remember the title or the author. It dealt with some type of telepathic wasp that was able to stimulate the pleasure centers of the main character, and how this became an addiction of the character. I would be interested to know if anyone out there remembers this story and can fill in the missing author/title.ReplyDelete

OK everyone. Peninsula Park is starting to shape up quickly for the Fall/Winter/Spring seasons when it really shines as one of the best courses in the state! Not to mention an Iowa Tour stop tournament on October 2nd.
One of the big tasks left is widening fairways, trimming around tee pads, tee signs, directional signs and all the trees in each fairway to really put a polish on this course.
Rather than a couple guys working for weeks to get this done, I thought I would call on the community to come together for an afternoon or morning or evening of string trimming fun.
Which day would work better for you? I will supply gas at least if your trimmer uses standard 50:1 Stihl gas mix, or if you have a 4 cycle that uses straight gas.
This is the weekend of a tournament in Newton and Burlington, not to mention everyone is busy. I'm hoping a couple weeks notice and we could get something going. It could be fun to have a morning work session followed by lunch and an afternoon round. The more people we have out to help the faster it all gets done.
Please spread the word!

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
Switzerland, 2012, 87 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Colorado, Documentary, Family Issues, Religious, Social Issues
Programs: Documentary, Women + FilmLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Mirjam von Arx
Producer: Mirjam von ArxEditor: Sabine KrayenbühlScreenwriter: Mirjam von Arx, Michèle WannazCinematographer: Kirsten Johnson, Claudia Raschke
No sex before marriage, not even a kiss? Teenage girls who attend a Purity Ball, a chastity rite performed with their protective fathers, agree to remain "unsoiled" until Jesus sends along Mr. Right. In Virgin Tales, director Mirjam von Arx follows the Wilsons, evangelical Christian founders of these events, for an entire year as they plan for a ball.
Randy Wilson and his wife, Lisa, devote themselves to purity from their home in Colorado Springs. They shelter their seven children—two sons and five daughters—by homeschooling and preaching conservative Christian values. The two eldest daughters married men with similar beliefs, but Jordyn, age 20, has not yet found a husband. Von Arx records Jordyn speaking into her video diary as she explains she prefers womanly pursuits such as etiquette and baking to college. Although the film is shot in present-day Colorado, the message harks back to a 1950s mentality, complete with hope chests and charm schools. And it is catching on: Purity Balls are now held in 48 states.
With up-close access to the Wilsons at home, at church, and at the Purity Ball, von Arx withholds judgment as she documents their devotion. Randy, national field director for Church Ministries at the Family Research Council, even invites her to accompany him to Washington, D.C., where he promotes an anti-abortion political agenda. At the ball, von Arx films the almost surreal purity rituals with careful detail. Little girls in virginal white dresses dance around a life-sized crucifix before the father/daughter ring ceremony and written pledge of abstinence. In Virgin Tales' final scenes, von Arx presents statistics showing that those who vow to remain "unsoiled" are about as likely to abstain as those who do not take the pledge, but that if they do have premarital sex, they are unlikely to use birth control.

SAN BENITO (October 23, 2012)—San Benito Mayor Joe Hernandez turned himself in Tuesday to Cameron County authorities after he was named in a two-count indictment in a case involving a snow cone stand that operated on his property.
He was released after posting $5,000 bond.
Hernandez is charged with abuse of power and evidence tampering.
He declined to comment on the charges.
He's accused of placing an ordinance revision on the city council agenda last year and participating in discussions of a change that would benefit him.
The second count accuses him of trying to obscure evidence of the snow cone stand, which was operating on his property counter to city rules.

When Les Prinster of St. Charles was born, Lindenwood was a venerable 83-year-old college--seven years younger than Prinster is now. Like a lot of senior citizens, Prinster has decided that the time is right to return to school. This spring, he is taking a Survey of Economics course at Lindenwood.
Prinster sold his funeral home business five years ago, and he sold some rental property just last month and now said he has the time to take a college economics class, a subject he said interests him. At Lindenwood, he was able to take advantage of a standing 50 percent tuition discount the university offers to students over 55 years old to make it easier for senior citizens to return to school.
"I wanted to know something about economics," he said. "How it works, supply and demand, how does it apply to unemployment? This is something I've wanted to do for awhile."
Prinster says he had not attended college before now. He was born in O'Fallon in October of 1909 and moved to St. Charles when he was nine. He has lived there ever since. Prinster is the only surviving charter member of the St. Charles Kiwanis Club, which was founded in October of 1936. He and his wife, Mary, raised six children here.
Prinster still owns two farms in Warren and Montgomery counties and said he enjoys collecting different types of antique tractors and farm equipment.
"I've got some time now to do some things I have wanted to do for a while, and taking this class is one of them," Prinster said.

Echinococcosis: a parasitic disease that occurs in two main forms in humans: cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis
Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease that occurs in two main forms in humans: cystic echinococcosis (also known as hydatidosis) and alveolar echinococcosis, caused by the tapeworms Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis, respectively.
Dogs, foxes and other carnivores harbour the adult worms in their intestine and pass the parasite eggs in their faeces. If the eggs are ingested by humans, they develop into larvae in several organs, more frequently the liver and lungs. Both cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are characterized by asymptomatic incubation periods that can last many years until the parasites grow to an extent that triggers clinical signs.

HERTFORDSHIRE, England -- Lawrence Okoye played the role of media darling Wednesday, even if the first-year defensive lineman won't play a snap this season for the 49ers.
A London native and 2012 Olympic discus thrower, Okoye is an example of how the NFL can grow internationally: football piqued his interest a couple years ago, he tried out this spring for clubs and then took his experiment to the 49ers.
"The NFL's made it clear they want to make this a global sport, and to do that, you need to make it global by getting athletes outside the United States -- i.e. myself -- and obviously by playing outside the United States," Okoye said.
As chiseled as his 6-foot-6, 304-pound may be, he sprained a knee ligament in the 49ers' exhibition season, landing him on the injured-reserve list instead of the waiver wire or practice squad. He's thus became a studious observer, and he's excited to see his 49ers teammates play Sunday at Wembley Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"They think I'm their A-to-Z, their Yellow Pages," Okoye said of his tour-guide role this week. "I just point them in the right direction. Everyone's focused on the win Sunday so nobody wants to do anything crazy."
Okoye elected to sign with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent, mostly so he could learn under defensive line coach Jim Tomsula.
"I watch several hours of film each week and I understand what's going on, I'm looking for certain things," Okoye said. "Things that didn't click before click now."
Okoye had never been in shoulder pads and a helmet until given his 49ers gear. Tomsula spent a slew of time and energy teaching Okoye's fundamentals through training camp, and now their study sessions take place in the classroom.
Okoye's intellect has earned him a deferred spot at Oxford University. It's also earned him some razzing — "some of the guys in my D-line room (pick) on me" -- because of his passion to research other linemen.
"He's a football nerd right now," Tomsula said.
"Training camp was good because that's the hardest thing I could have gone through," Okoye recalled. "Having zero experience and going against Joe Staley and Mike Iupati every day was a nice, rude awakening. I'll be really well prepared the next time I meet those guys and I can show my physical characteristics more."
The posterior-cruciate-ligament sprain to his right knee was "very minor" and he expects to be fully recovered in the next few weeks.
While he's excited to get back on the field next spring, he's also encouraged by the NFL's potential beyond the U.S. borders.
"All my teammates are excited about coming here," Okoye said. "They want to see it grow, too. The British public wants to see it grow. The NFL wants to see it grow. If you have the players, the NFL and the country in unison, that's a good thing.
"I really do feel the NFL will become more and more of a global brand as the years go on."
Will he be part of the NFL in three years or in the 2016 Olympics? "I don't think past tomorrow let alone 2016. I'm just focused on being a football player. The next big thing on my horizon is the 2014 training camp."

With a new subdivision bringing more families to the area, Baker Place Elementary is expecting many more children to attend the school. (WRDW-TV / Aug. 11, 2011)
News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011
GROVETOWN, Ga. -- Columbia County started the new year with a new school. Baker Place Elementary is a $12 million building off Baker Place Road, near William Few Parkway.
About 725 students started there Monday, which is about 75 more than the school expected. Many of the students were rezoned from Cedar Ridge and Lewiston to ease overcrowding.
Soon, Baker Place could have some overcrowding of its own.
Kindergartners walk the halls of Baker Place single file. That line is 20 kids long, but it was almost longer.
"Most of our kindergarten classes before the first day of school had about 26 students in each classroom," said Baker Place Principal LeeAnn Fleischauer. "At that time we had five [kindergarten] classrooms."
Room 210 makes the sixth. Luckily for the school, they had the space.
"Our building is built to house 850 and we can actually serve up to 900," Fleischauer said. "So we actually have some empty classrooms here we can fill."
Right now, Baker Place has about 725 kids, but if the activity surrounding the school means anything, the halls are about to get more crowded.
The school lies right in the middle of a new development, Hidden Creek. Workers will finish construction in four to five years, and when it's done, experts say there will be about 600 new homes in that neighborhood alone.
Eleonora Stephenson, a realtor for Blanchard and Calhoun, said they've already made 41 sales. Most of which -- if not all -- were to families with kids.
"Having the two schools here, it's going to be a very good place for raising a family," Stephenson said.
So good a place, she says, realtors use the schools as a sales pitch. And if they're successful, that means a lot more kids will go to Baker Place Elementary.
"They are moving here," Stephenson said. "We're expecting more."
And the school is ready for it.
"Yes, we will be getting new students, but we're ready for them," Fleischauer said.

When 4A Slope No. 3-ranked Palisade stormed the Tiger home court Thursday, the girls' volleyball team didn't let them off easy.
"We took a game off them," head coach Liz Hughes-Waddick said. "It was really fun. I'm a little upset we didn't beat them."
Summit, ranked last in the league as of Thursday night, lost its first set, 25-16; won the second, 25-13; and lost the last two, 25-17 and 25-19.
Play was as good as the intensity, the coach said.
"It was fun for them to start to become the team I was hoping they'd be last week," Hughes-Waddick said, though she admitted her players are giving up critical parts of the game.
Like getting the ball back and maintaining momentum.
"We can't miss a serve when we worked hard to get the ball back," she said. "That is like an Achilles heel."
Allowing their opponents to establish a run on them is another Tiger weakness.
"There's nothing we can do except get ourselves out of that situation," Hughes-Waddick said. It usually happens right around the middle of the set, when the Lady Tigers have come out strong and are holding the opponents tight. One error follows the next, and before they know it, the opposing team has brought the score close to even again.
It happened Thursday night, when Summit had Palisade under 20 points. They allowed a run to 23 points, but in the end, pulled out the win.
It's like a lull in the midst of play. A lapse of focus. Are they getting scared?
Whatever it is, "They need to overcome it to be successful this year," Hughes-Waddick said. "They're good. They showed it last night."
The coach commended her players on their improved communication throughout the season. She wants them to continue to work toward positive thinking, and knowing that "everything they do is with the idea that they are in control of the game. They are playing defense all the time. It's switching to the mindset that you're so aware of the momentum that you understand you've got to keep it going."
Senior Anna Zangari played libero Thursday night and led the team with 14 digs. Hughes-Waddick would like to see more from the player who's returning from a bout with pneumonia. The team totaled 51 digs.
On offense, junior Kates Raymond led with 14 kills and just four errors, inching closer to her goal of minimizing errors. Behind her were Madi Webster and Lexy Zangari with 10 kills each.
Today, the team plays Delta at 1 p.m. at home. The opponent sits in second place in the conference.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - The Aspen Center for Environmental Studies offers several guided nature tours on the Aspen/Snowmass ski slopes.
One of its more unique offerings, though, takes place when most of the chairlifts won't be running.
When Aspen Skiing Co. started running the Elk Camp Gondola on Friday nights, ACES began offering a nighttime snowshoe tour at the top. The gentle traverse enters the forest surrounding Rayburn's Pond, where participants can encounter tracks from snowshoe hares, mice, weasels and sometimes coyotes and foxes.
"During the day, it's totally chaotic, especially on the ski slopes when there's thousands of people here every day and crossing the ski slopes is kind of a difficult thing to navigate," said ACES naturalist Charlie Oshinsky. "What I like most about being out here at night is it just feels more distant. You just feel like you're in the wilderness a little bit more."
On Jan. 18, the night was clear and the moon bright enough for the group to turn off our headlamps and hike through the forest in the moonlight for a while. It was also definitely a good opportunity for stargazing.
Oshinsky, who is taking a year off to live in the mountains before going to medical school, praised the group, a mix of residents and visitors, for showing interest in the tour. For most people in the group that night, it was their first time snowshoeing.
"I think it's really awesome that you guys are interested in doing an activity like this during your time in Aspen ... instead of the more mainstream activities, such as downhill skiing," he said. "Doing activities like this and just getting to walk around in the woods and just be totally peaceful ... is something that's so special and an experience you can't really have anywhere else except this wilderness. That's why I love it out here, and hopefully you guys got a taste of that, as well."
This article is part of a regular series about Aspen Center for Environmental Studies guided tours in Snowmass Village.

Hi those out west:
How is the heat in Las Vegas the last week of June? I am going to a conference and there is a 5k fun run/walk at 6 am. I don't want to roast....
Jan 1, 2010 39% body fat
July 1, 2010 28 % body fat
Total pounds lost: 4.5
Crawdads Home Run Trot 5/8/10 5k 44:29
Hickory Crusaders 5k 8/23/10 Volunteered- shut down a road
Komen race for the cure 5K 10/16/10 45:20
Hot chocolate 10k 1/22/10 Asheville, NC 1:30:00
NC - it will be "warm but dry" but then so is an oven. hopefully the fun run will be early in the a.m., but even then you should expect temps in the 80's to 90's.
Where in NC are you? I lived in the Greensboro area for a couple of years and loved all of the trails in the area, especially Bur-Mil Park. The Owl's Roost trail there is probably the nicest 6 miles I have run. There are some really cool trail races in the area from 3 miles to an ultra (50M).
The key to Vegas will be insuring you stay hydrated. The temptation to partake of adult beverages aside, the dry air and pumped O2 into most of the hotels will dry you out with you knowing it. When there I just keep a bottle of water in my hand at all times.
Guess you are suppose to list the stuff you have done recently:
2010 Anthem 5K - 21:37
2010 Rodes City 10K - 45:17
2010 Columbus Marathon - 4:03:00
2010 Indianapolis Monumental Marathon - 4:07:00
Louisville Triple Crown - 1 month and counting
I'm evious of all of you in the warmer temperatures. We have had a very cold and snowy winter here in New England (-4 degrees yesterday). Most of my running lately has been on the treadmill which is really tough when you are used to going outside.
Bill, you have my sympathy. I'm near Philly and have enjoyed a little more moderation in the winter weather, but have still had to learn to dress well to keep running outside. More interesting to me has been the footing: I've come to appreciate the differences between loose snow, tracked up old stuff and tire tracks. I am running in Vibram FiveFinger Bikilas these days, so I also keep a keen eye open for slush, especially salty stuff. Salt lowers the water temp and can lead to frostbite. My toes don't mind cold but cold and wet makes for no fun. The coldest I've been out in is 18 degrees with not too much wind.
I registered for the Lehigh Valley 13.1 Mile Race yesterday. It runs on the 1st of May. That should help a lot to keep my spirits up and my focus on my form and milage. Everybody here seems so gung ho, it's infectious (in a good way.)
Cheers all!

Hey Susan, thanks for the nudge!
I've been vacationing since the race and haven't taken the time to write up a report. I will be doing that next, and posting it in our race report thread and cross-posting in the 1/2 marathon race thread. (Sorry for those who frequent both places!)
I finished in under 3 hours. It was hillier than I expected. And, just FYI, 13 miles is a looooooooong way! LOL I had hoped for a better time, but I had no concrete time goal. My two goals were to finish (and I did) and to have fun (and I did)!
I haven't run since Sunday, my quads are just now starting to ease up. The rest of me feels fine though!

My sympathies to all that got socked again w/ tons of snow. Fortunately, we missed it. Have I mentioned lately, how ready I am for spring?!?!?
Had a nice 3.1 mile run this am followed by yoga. I've been a funk this week, so really dreadred getting out, but, it was fine once I got started.
Have a great day fellow masters.

coolbikermom: Just read your report and I echo what the others said. Congratulations on a great run! You say now that you don't want to do another one, but that may be your sore quads talking. You had fun, you finished and you felt good about yourself.
Also, you said "I'm not a runner, I'm a woman who runs". I don't see the diffference between the two. If you think that walking part of the way diminishes what you did, you could not be more wrong.

I am pondering doing an upcoming 15k/Shamrock Race early March. I had so much fun last October doing my first Half; it's tempting. I have not done any outside running; as the weather here in Northeast Ohio has not been (for me) very accomadating! In the meantime; it's the TM; rowing; stationary bike & eliptical. Have included couple days a week with weights. I feel with all the great advise on this thread about cross-training; all thoes activities are to my advantage!
As I type; it sounds like sleet hitting the window...winter months; gotta love 'em Spring seems so far away!!

KIRKT: For those who don't know, the Shamrock Shuffle is an 8K race in downtown Chicago in early spring. I have thought about doing it, but the weather in the past two years has been snow/rain/slush, with soaked shoes and generally miserable conditions. It draws about 35,000 entrants, but the recent weather has reduced the starting field by close to half. I hope this year is better.

Lower sperm counts linked to inactivity in young men
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 10:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 10:28 a.m.
The price of sloth may include a lower sperm count.
Healthy young men who watch a lot of TV or skimp on exercise have lower counts than guys who watch less or move more, a new study finds.
The study is small and does not prove cause and effect. But it adds to evidence that modern lifestyles may be contributing to possible declines in sperm counts in developed countries.
The findings also may offer some reassurance to active guys who have heard that exercise might decrease sperm counts, says Jorge Chavarro, a researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health and a co-author of the study published Monday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
"Most of the previous research has focused on endurance athletes," who may be under unusual stresses, Chavarro says.
The new study included 189 college men, ages 18 to 22, from Rochester, N.Y. Among the results:
On the couch. Those who watched the most TV, more than 20 hours a week, had sperm counts 44 percent lower than those who watched none.
Working out. Those who exercised the most, more than 15 hours a week, had sperm counts 73 percent higher than those who exercised the least, fewer than five hours a week.
Fertility. Researchers could not say whether the differences would have any effect on fertility.
Obesity and high-fat diets have been linked to lower sperm counts in other studies. Researchers also are looking at fertilizers, plastics and other environmental factors.
Yet some question whether sperm counts are falling at all: They blame inconsistent study designs and other factors for the reported declines.

The biopharmaceutical industry is proud of its track record of developing innovative medicines that have extended and improved the lives of patients suffering from cancer. New cancer medicines have helped cut the overall cancer death rate in the U.S. by 20 percent since its peak in 1991. Since the 1970s, the 5-year survival rate has increased 21 percent for breast cancer, 50 percent for prostate cancer, 36 percent for colon cancer and 54 percent for lung cancer.
The Catalyst

My grandmother, better known as Mema, passed away from lung cancer nearly four years ago on December 19, 2010. Exactly 24 hours after my birthday.
For five years, Mema battled valiantly against the disease that took her from us. When she was diagnosed she was told – if she was lucky – she had six months to live. The doctors did not expect much. She had just turned 70 and by the time they found the cancer it had metastasized throughout her body.
Can we meet the challenge of accelerating progress against cancer in an era of increasing pressure for cost containment? At PhRMA we believe the answer is yes; we recognize it won't be easy; and we know we need to keep the patient at the center of our work.
"I have been alive eight years, with metastatic breast cancer…in part that's due to modern medicine."
The words of Dian "CJ" Corneliussen-James should inspire us all and fill us with the hope that through innovation, dedication and great care, we can ultimately defeat cancer. CJ is the first profile in PhRMA's "I'm Not Average Campaign" but she is so much more than that. She represents the progress we as a society have made in fighting cancer.
One of the topics of discussion at the recent Rare Patient Advocacy Summit hosted by Global Genes was the role of patients in healthcare. A statement that clearly resonated with the audience, from Roni Zeiger of Smart Patients, was that patients are not passive recipients of care and in clinical trials, but rather are co-collaborators.
Four in five American adults take at least one medication, and more than one in four take five medicines or more. For patients to live longer, healthier lives, being able to access needed treatments is critical. Not to mention, adhering to treatment regimens can help prevent costly and burdensome complications down the road.
Helping to ensure patients have access to the medicines they need is a top priority for the biopharmaceutical industry. Over the past 15 years, biopharmaceutical companies have had more than 400 new medicines approved to treat patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and other debilitating diseases. These medicines are transforming to lives of patients, enabling them to live longer, healthier lives, spend more time with their families, and pursue their passions.
A growing body of evidence shows increased utilization of medicines reduces spending on other medical services. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) changed their methodology to account for the cost savings that can be achieved when beneficiaries adhere to their medicines. The CBO now estimates, "a one percent increase in the number of prescriptions filled by beneficiaries would cause Medicare's spending on medical services to fall by roughly one-fifth of one percent."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election just a few short months ago was greeted with renewed hope by India and people of Indian descent and heritage throughout the world. And judging by the expected crowds who will be welcoming him to the United States this weekend, the honeymoon period continues. On Sunday, Mr.
It's not every day that a new treatment becomes available that is able to cure 90 percent of the patients. Yet that is exactly what has happened with new and forthcoming medicines to treat hepatitis C.
Helping patients understand and access high quality health care options is a central tenet of our industry. Today, more than ever, it's essential that every member of the health care ecosystem move forward with this guiding objective in mind.
As PhRMA's Kaelan Hollon noted, "This year's PhRMA national survey is a reminder to everyone
Have you ever been confused by insurance jargon? What's a deductible? A copay? When and how do they apply? You're not alone. According to a national survey by the Department of Education about health literacy, just more than 1 in 10 American adults understand how to navigate medical care and health insurance.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 1 in 4 American adults have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder, yet many know very little about the disease.
There has been a marked increase in media attention on the health care landscape over the past year. Some of these stories got it right, while others were often confusing or misleading.

Looking for Franklin gear? Cool beans! We've got the perfect iron-on decal. Just print and iron onto t-shirts to create a tee your kids will love to wear!
Watch Franklin and Friends on Nick Jr.
Place the iron-on transfer paper into your ink-jet color printer as indicated on the package. Print a test on regular paper first to make sure you've chosen the right design for the type of iron-on paper you have. Set the printable aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the image--cutting close to the colored edge of the image. Kids can definitely help with this part.
Preheat the iron and fold the towel into thirds on a countertop or other hard surface. To further protect your countertop, you may want to place a magazine or a large book under the towel. For best results, though, don't use your ironing board.
Cut out the image from the transfer paper and place it on the T-shirt or other garment. Cover with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper (if provided) and iron the image with firm and steady pressure in a circular motion. Start at one corner and work your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then do the same for the other two corners. Finish by moving the iron in a circular motion around the entire area for 10-15 seconds using steady pressure.
Starting at one corner, slowly peel the protective sheet away from the garment.
Print the decal onto ink-jet fabric sheets and allow to dry for at least 10 minutes. When dry, your child can cut out the image, peel it away from the backing, and stick it directly to the garment using fabric glue.

LOS ANGELES -- It was a sight that symbolized the night, and the new Warriors attitude. Forward Carl Landry, after powering through the foul of Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan and scooping in the layup, turned toward his team's bench and flexed his biceps.
"He's big for us," point guard Stephen Curry said. "Big."
The Warriors came into this season with a slew of question marks: four rookies, a second-year player starting at off guard, two starters coming off surgery, no clear go-to guy. The season-ending injury to sixth man Brandon Rush only adds to the uncertainty.
But three games in, it seems Golden State has found something it can count on -- Landry.
The Warriors enter Monday's game in Sacramento with a chance to improve to 3-1. That's largely because Landry has been a beast off the bench. He's averaging a team-best 20 points on 65.7 percent shooting. Of his 7.3 rebounds per game, five are offensive boards.
With him on the roster, the Warriors have toughness and resiliency. In Landry, they have a legit low-post scorer, a place to go when they really need a high-percentage shot.
He has 28 points fourth-quarter points so far, which is just two fewer than forward David Lee has scored all season.
"He's a big-time player," coach Mark Jackson said of Landry. "A big-time post presence. He can score. He's battling on the boards. A big-time finisher. We ran our offense through him down the stretch. He puts so much pressure on the defense." Landry's offensive production has been especially important because of Lee's struggles scoring. Lee is averaging 10 points on 37.8 percent shooting -- well below his career marks of 14.3 and 53.8. Because of Landry, Golden State hasn't had to pay a steep price for one of its best weapons struggling.
In his sixth NBA season, Landry has become the poster child for the Warriors' depth. He and veteran point guard Jarrett Jack are the leaders off the bench, giving the Warriors a completely different look when they're in the game.
The Warriors' starters, especially with center Andrew Bogut's minutes limited as he works his way back from two ankle surgeries, rely on finesse, skill and outside shooting. But the Warriors' second-unit -- led by Jack, Landry and rookie center Festus Ezeli -- has an edge. It's physical, aggressive, even chippy. When the backups come into the game, even the starters adopt their swagger.
It is in that environment that Landry thrives. Having 25 playoff games under his belt, he knows the mentality winning requires.
It was evident in the season opener Wednesday in Phoenix, when Golden State blew a big lead but somehow grinded it out at the end. It also showed up Saturday against the Clippers, when the Warriors refused to relinquish their lead late, making every critical play necessary.
If the Warriors win in Sacramento, they will have won the first three road games in a season for the first time since 1994-95.
"It never comes easy on the road," Landry, 29, said. "We've got to bring it every night."
The Warriors will have three days off after the Lakers-Nuggets back-to-back set. So if Golden State wanted to see if Bogut's left ankle can hold up on consecutive days, this coming weekend would be the time to do it.

1. The case of the missing SPAM: 06:38
I seem to have woken up in a freakish alternate universe.
I don't understand. I simply don't understand. Did I _imagine_ frying and storing all that SPAM? I can't find it anywhere within my fridge.
And now my contacts file refuse to load without getting corrupted.

As we reported in an earlier post, the construction crew delayed building the second smokehouse to allow our archaeologists time to confirm its precise location. The archaeology team sprang into action and found the evidence to confirm where the original smokehouse stood.
"The statuary and painting at Montpelier exceeded anything my youthful imagination had ever conceived."1 This account of Anne Mercer Slaughter's 1825 visit to the Madisons is representative of the awe visitors recalled following their time in Orange.
By now you have probably seen the mysterious Facebook photos of the cutouts at the Madisons' Dining Room Table. In addition to James and Dolley, the dinner guests include presidents (Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and Andrew Jackson), a Revolutionary War hero (the Marquis de Lafayette), a writer and Washington friend of the Madisons (Margaret Bayard Smith), and Dolley's sister (Anna Payne Cutts).
The next time you walk into the Montpelier Dining Room, take a close look at the faces around the table. You will see figures of the Madisons and several of their notable dinner guests, enjoying one of Dolley's sumptuous feasts. This scene is one of the new mansion exhibits that help visitors experience Montpelier's famous people and events.
The last couple of days have been busy! The construction crew completed the first smokehouse frame in the South Yard, where enslaved domestic workers and craftsmen lived during James and Dolley Madison's time.
Get your hard hats because we're about to enter a construction zone! Beginning tomorrow visitors can watch a team of carpenters build timber outlines of two smokehouses, part of the South Yard, where enslaved domestic workers and craftsmen lived and worked during James and Dolley Madison's time.
Have you ever bought the commemorative edition of a newspaper or magazine? Maybe you bought the TIME issue that commemorated President Obama's inauguration, or the Boston Globe the day after the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series. James Madison bought commemorative editions too.
Michael C. Quinn, president of The Montpelier Foundation has announced that Dr. Sean T. O'Brien has been named executive vice president and chief operating officer.
Dolley Madison is renowned as a fashion icon of the Early Republic. She is often remembered for her glamorous appearance as First Lady hosting parties in the fashionably decorated Drawing Room of the President's House. But how do we know what Mrs. Madison wore? The answer is threefold: portraits, written descriptions, and surviving gowns which are believed to be hers.
The opening of Montpelier's new exhibit Dolley Madison's Life Through Fashion: Dressing the Part is less than two days away! The exhibit will use eight costumes created for the PBS documentary Dolley Madison: America's First Lady to tell her life story.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Encouraging Start
Obviously not the result. Great organisation, movement and work rate.Very promising start to the season. Dominated the game in the first half, unlucky not to have been in front at the break.
Badly missed Modric though. Need to get a little more imagination in the center of the park. Hope they sort that out.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I was sat with Harry in the Sir John Hall stand watching the game. He said to me-- "why the fuskc didn't I come to this fabulous place when you guys asked me to a few years back."
- 1 Reply to Alan H
Bloody long drive from Poole, LOL!!!!!
With a new manager, potential change of style,the obvious striker issues, Modric etc, the performance was better than I had thought/hoped.
On the basis of win the homes, draw the aways, it was only a point lost - it may be a point needed at the end of the season, but that's a long way off.
At least Pool and Woolwich stuttered as well. Woolwich now having lost Song could be telling.
AVB needs time, the same as any other manager. A couple of seasons means he has a chance to get 'his' style of player in and get his method ingrained - as Sigurdsson and Vertonghen appeared to be more Levy (and 'arry for Vertonghen going by when the rumours started) than AVB. I would like to know what the targets for the team are this season, and how long Levy and the board have given AVB to get it 'right'.

If you're planning on getting 1A Tiger basketball updates from my blog, you're gonna be in for a loong wait. Instead, go to The Saint John news Facebook page where you're get filled in on the lastest updates quarter-by-quarter of the 1A State basketball tournament starting Wednesday afternoon. Go to: http://www.facebook.com/pages/St-John-News/125832347442459?ref=ts&fref=ts
Unfortunately at my old age (Some say I'm older that dirt.) my multitasking skills aren't what they used to be, plus whenever I get close to a laptop, I break out in a rash.
I just don't know how those teeny-boppers do it! And they've got the World's smallest laptop - sometimes called a phone.
And to make things worse, try watching the game, keeping track on what's going on for my news article, not forgetting to mention running through the maze of tunnels and trying to find the south end of the basketball court so I can take a few action shots while putting my trusty write-up book under my arm and putting my pen in my mouth. There's little time to race back up into the rafters trying to find the laptop, only to see that someone trampled it.
Anyway - go to THE SAINT JOHN NEWS FACEBOOK PAGE for the latest tournament updates. Terry will treat you right.

Vis (Croatian pronunciation: [ˈʋiːs]; Greek: Ἴσσα - Issa; Italian, Venetian: Lissa) is the most outerly lying larger Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, and is part of the Central Dalmatian group of islands, with an area of 90.26 km² and a population of 3,617 (as of 2001 ). Of all the inhabited Croatian islands, it is the farthest from the coast. The highest peak of Vis is called Hum, 587 m high.
There are two towns and municipalities on the island, Vis (1,960 inhabitants in the municipality) and Komiža (it. Comisa) (1,677),both located on the seacoast. There are smaller settlements on the island's interior: Podselje, Marinje zemlje, Podšpilje, and Podstražje.
Vis was inhabited by the time of the Neolithic period. In the 4th century B.C., the tyrant of Siracuse, Dionysius the Elder, founded the colony Issa[6] on the island. Later, it became an independent city-state, and even minted its own money and founded its own colonies elsewhere. In the first century B.C., the island was held by the Liburnians.[7]In the 4th century BC Syracusan Greeks colonised the Island[8] Its importance in the region ended with the first Illyro-Roman war (29-219 B.C.. Having sided with Pompeus during the period of civil struggles in Rome, became an "oppidum civium Romanorum" in 47 B.C.
The island then passed, for several centuries, under the rule of the Republic of Venice, until 1797. During this time large settlements developed on the coast (Comisa, now Komiža and Lissa, now Vis). Administratively the island of Lissa was for centuries bound to the island of Lesina, now Hvar. The Venetian influence is still recognizable in architecture, and many words In the local Croatian dialect are Venetian in origin.
After the short-lived Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, with Italian as the official language, it passed under the rule of Austrian Empire. It maintained its Italian name of Lissa. At the end of World War I, it passed under Italian rule in the period 1918 and 1921, according to the Treaty of London, and then was ceded to Yugoslavia following the Treaty of Rapallo. Almost all its population was re-located to islands and cities in Italian Dalmatia, shortly after the exchange between Lissa, assigned to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and Lagosta, assigned to Italy.
The sea to the north of the island was the stage of two battles:

Concord Monitor: Benghazi probe a threat to Hillary Clinton so should be called off
We believe House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi should boycott the panel. She should make it clear that while she values the search for truth regarding Benghazi, she understands that there are more pressing foreign policy issues for Congress than whether the White House told Susan Rice what to say on Sunday television talk shows in September 2012.
