NIMH Study on Bipolar Disorder
March 30, 2007
On March 29, the New England Journal of Medicine published results from a study sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) on treatment of bipolar disorder, finding that for depressed people who are taking a mood stabilizer, adding an antidepressants is no more effective than a placebo (sugar pill).
The results are part of a large NIMH study, the Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder (STEP-BD). The next installment will address the psychosocial elements of treatment and is expected soon. NAMI is reviewing the first set and anticipates offering
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reports that the lead author of the study, Dr. Gary Sachs, director of the bipolar clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital, advises consumers with bipolar disorder who currently are doing well on antidepressants that they need not quit taking them.

DAC chapter presents memorial gift of books
The Pocahontas Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Colonists, recently presented four of the Society's lineage books to the Library of Virginia in memory of past Chapter Regent Mary Leigh Boisseau. Boisseau, who died earlier this year, was a genealogist, author, and active volunteer supporting veterans and active duty military throughout Virginia. She was serving as chapter registrar and Virginia State First Vice Regent at the time of her death.
Library of Virginia Collections Management Coordinator Tom Ray accepted the books at the chapter's Sept. 13 meeting from Chapter Librarian Betty Camp.
The Pocahontas Chapter, with 30 members, is one of nine chapters in Virginia. The Chapter's members are female descendants of an ancestor who rendered civil or military service in any of the colonies prior to July 4, 1776. The Pocahontas Chapter meets four times a year in Henrico County. For details, visit http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vapcdac.

A Norwegian troll, common to the Southern California habitat, known for its ability to cause large, destructive interruptions in its pathway. The Gruneveld is a nocturnal creature that is highly susceptible to inebriation, and its call has been mistaken for both earthquakes and thunder. When cornered, the Gruneveld will secrete greasy fluids in hopes of escape.
I thought there was lightening outside, but then I realized it was the bellow of a Gruneveld.

A usually derogatory term used to desrcibe any of a number of imported cars (hondas, mitsubishes, etc.) that are not specifically designed for racing. Many have only physical modifications, including neon lights, massive spoilers, and decals for equipment they don't have. Others, however, are extensively modified for racing and often sport NOS, Tubos/superchargers, well tuned exhaust systems, and computer enhanced fuel/air mix ratios. This variety is MUCH rarer.
I pulled up next to this guy driving a rice rocket yesterday. His fake stickers didn't help him when i smoked his ass.
av Rypsaw 30. april 2003
Asian rich kid toy. An import sedan or 'sport' sedan souped up to look fast, sound fast, and go exactly the same speed as any other sedan. Usually customised with unecessary spoilers, coffee can exhaust for that mosquito on steriods sound, and racing stripes to show off your 'team'
"Look at that kid's rice rocker, his parents must be loaded and blind to let him do that"
av Joe 22. august 2004
a foreign asian car (e.g. honda civic or any toyota) that is tricked out or souped up for show, often with silver rims and an unnecessary spoiler often driven by an Asian but not necessarily.
Man, he got a hella cool rice rocket. I saw him driving it down the street yesterday.
av kayla 2. desember 2003
rice rocket is an inexpensive car, such as Honda Civic. For some reason domestic owners hate them so much that they forget about Neons and Cavailers with big fart cannons and boeng wings, I guess they are an american cheap rice.
the funny thing, a rice rocket can be pretty fast if hooked up right, sometimes its funny to see how Honda Civic beats domestic junk :D
av demon585 30. mars 2006
Previously used to describe japanese and asian import motorcycles, this term is now mainly used to describe asian import cars that have been modified to either increase performance or greatly alter the visual style. This includes turbos, engine swaps, rediculously large spoilers, etc. Honda Civics and Acura Integras are the poster children for the term 'Rice Rocket.'
Once I put this double-decker spoiler on my old beat up Honda Civic, I'll be able to waste any new car! And these SiR stickers will add lots of horsepower to my rice rocket too! This neon glowkit will surely get my car highlighted on RiceRocket.com! Maybe I should put spinners on the whells and lower it while I'm at it...

Car that is not made to go fast. But is dressed up in what the owner believes to be "Pimp" looking stickers, body kit, high mount or "GT" wing, huuuge exhaust and 20" rims.Good for a bit of a laugh as u leave em for dead in ur TT supra, GTR or even 180sx

Fade Material: NFL Conference Championship Sunday Predictions
Last week's predictions slipped my mind for whatever reason, but I totally would have taken the 49ers and the over, the Patriots and the over, the Texans and the under, and the Giants and the over.
No, no – I'm serious. Perfect weekend…
Ravens @ Patriots, 3:00PM ET
Tom Brady's completion percentage in five career games against the Ravens is 55.9, which is his lowest against any team in the league. When Baltimore ransacked New England 33-14 in that 2009 Wildcard game, Brady threw three interceptions, was sacked three times and finished with a passer rating of 49.1. For whatever reason, the Ravens are a matchup problem for Brady and the Patriots, who I do think will win on Sunday. I just don't think they'll cover the seven points unless they draw Baltimore into a shootout, in which case the Ravens are in serious trouble. While Joe Flacco and Co. has struggled on the road this season, methinks this one will be tight throughout.
Giants @ 49ers, 6:30PM ET
Part of me is completely convinced that the Giants are going to win the Super Bowl. The other part of me believes that they're starting to read their own press clippings and people are foolish to keep overlooking a solid team like the Niners. That's why I'm not touching the side. Back in Week 10 when these two teams met, I fell in love with the under. But after a field goal fest in the first half, the two teams combined for 32 points in the final two quarters and the score went over the total of 47. But with bad weather expected to hit the Bay area, I'm back for more of that under goodness. I think this has all the makings of a defensive battle on a sloppy track, where both teams will have to rely on their running games to eek out a victory.

A quick strike to the top of the head with the hand. The clobber-knocker is applied by clenching the fist and swinging down on top of the head, using only the flat part of the fingers between the first and second knuckles. It is a very practical form of a sucker punch.

Our Exclusive Interview with Psychic Sylvia Browne!
November 9, 2009 - Amy Jo Hanna-Eckenrode
REGISTER TO WIN!When you are presented with an opportunity to interview Sylvia Browne, you don't pass it up. Now, I have always known that Sylvia Browne is a New York Times best-selling author and a world-famous psychic, however I am probably one of ten people in the world who has never watched any of her countless appearances on The Montel Williams Show or Larry King Live where she has appeared as a special guest for more than 15 years.
"All Pets Go To Heaven: The Spiritual Lives of the Animals We Love"
The One And Only Sylvia Browne...
I also have many close friends who follow Sylvia's teachings yet I have never read one of her books until her new release, "All Pets Go To Heaven, The Spiritual Lives of the Animals We Love".
Interviewing Sylvia Browne will forever remain one of my 'all time unforgettable experiences' yet I feel the task comes with the responsibility of providing my readers with a WARNING: SYLVIA BROWNE AHEAD. FOR MOST PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE → KEEP AN OPEN MIND OTHERWISE… KEEP ON MOVIN', YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA GET IT.
I have always been a person with a very open mind surrounded by family with extremely closed minds. It never hindered me though from wanting to learn about other people's beliefs. I don't have to agree with everything I hear or believe in what others believe to appreciate the vast differences that make up human nature. That's why I'm not sure how I never collided with the world of Sylvia Browne in all these years.
"All Pets Go To Heaven, The Spiritual Lives of the Animals We Love" is the third of three books Sylvia has written to discuss what happens to our beloved animals once they pass on. This book, however, is directed to an adult audience. The other two, "Animals on the Other Side" and "Spirit of Animals", while filled with beautiful pictures and thoughts, are written more for children and serve as a great tool when trying to help a child understand and cope with the death of a pet.
If you are a fellow animal lover who cherishes the short time we are afforded with our precious pets and greatly mourn their loss when they pass on, then I know you will enjoy Sylvia's new book. You don't have to believe in all that she believes – pick the parts that you feel most in-tuned to – and take comfort in the words and stories that will ease your mind about your pets who have 'crossed over'.
This was a great book to introduce me to Sylvia Browne and ease me into her beliefs and teachings. With a masters in education, Sylvia is one smart cookie. She taught English for 20 years in parochial schools and her straightforward style of writing provides an easy read. I found the entire book interesting, educational and entertaining and read it in two nights -- this coming from someone with a 20 minute attention span and a stack of partially read books on my nightstand.
Some readers did not like the fact that she opens this book with a history of pets in ancient times. I really enjoyed reading about past cultures and rituals. It always helps to bring a topic full circle for me to have more background and history and close informational gaps.
Sylvia refers a lot to her other books which again I found helpful in the event I decide I'd like to learn more about another aspect of her world.
I have lost many beloved pets over the years and often find myself thinking about them and even grieving long after they're gone. I wanted to get one thing from this book: Comfort in knowing that my sweet fur babies had moved on to some other place where they were safe, happy, pain free and loved. I got my wish.
If you are not a believer in 'heaven' or as Sylvia refers to it the "Other Side", then perhaps this book isn't for you. I'm not sure what you think happens to us once we die, but whatever your belief, I respect it. I, on the other hand, wish to believe that there is a better place that we move on to where we exist eternally without pain and unhappiness – and with all the love of our precious furbabies.
Let The Interview Begin!
A: (joking) Where have you been all my life?!
S: I've been around honey, I've been around!
A: I know how important pets/animals are to you, how does this book follow the first two you wrote about pets?
S: The other two were more childrens' books. This one was more in-depth with interviews and my own philosophy and what I know psychically and how I've gotten in contact with pets on the other side so this is really a bigger anthology than that.
And, I just got sick and tired of hearing priests and ministers say that animals don't have souls and that just fired me up. So I thought, I'll take care of that, I'm gonna write a book about that once and for all.
A: As an animal lover, it's hard for me to think there are people who don't believe animals have souls.
S: They teach us unconditional love and loyalty and all those other things that we as humans have to learn which [they} command normally.
A: I had several questions submitted to me from people who are hoping you can provide them with an answer or reassurance.
You say everyone eventually crosses over. How do we 'share' pets if our pets have had more than one owner in their life?
S: It's not the way you perceive it to be. Everybody loves everybody over there, all of our animals love us and are with us.
We have seven dogs and some are closer to me and some are closer to my husband but we love all of them.
A: If you say we are reincarnated, why can't we come back as an animal?
S: We don't transmigrate, no, there is nothing to learn from that. Animals don't have lessons to learn. They're here to be companions to us. We're the ones who have to learn how not be jealous and averse and greedy and all those other things - animals don't have that. Why would they have to come back?
A: If our pet is ill and we have to make the decision to put him/her to sleep, how can we know we are doing the right thing?
S: Oh no, the animal understands that. I sometimes think we're kinder to animals than we are to people (in such cases). Of course they understand, you never wish them to suffer, it's always the right thing.
A: Can our pets come back to reassure us that they're ok and if so how?
S: Absolutely, I've had many friends, people, share stories of how their pets came back to check on them, even hearing the sound of paws down the hall. (There are many accounts in the book that Sylvia's readers share as well)
A: A friend of mine had to have her beloved horse put down after spending a lifetime with him. She was devastated. She revealed that she has a reoccurring dream that she is in a field and her horse is there. He makes eye contact with her but as soon as she reaches out to pet him, he turns and starts to walk away. She wakes up crying every time because of losing him again.
(Note: this was the most fascinating and revealing answer Sylvia shared. I absolutely believe this because I know how 'in tune' my friend is and if this would be possible with anyone it would be her):
S: Oh, no, she is going to the other side and visiting him. That's not a dream, that's an astro-projection. She is crossing over to visit him.
A: Why does he walk away from her before she can touch him?
S: Because he knows its not time for her to come yet.
A: I was asked why animals are so much more pure and seemingly on a different or higher level than humans.
S: Animals are completely unconditional. We, as humans, well it takes an awful long time to learn that. We can learn an awful lot from animals because they don't care if you're sick or well or how you look, they just love you anyway.
It's not a matter of levels of importance. Animals are pure companions to man and woman. Angels 'are' because they 'are'. Animals 'are' because they 'are' and humans 'are' because they 'are' – we're just different levels of creation.
Okay, so I was talking to Sylvia Browne. This chance may never occur again, right? I just had to ask…
A: You have always been fortunate to be blessed with your special abilities and talents. I often wonder how I could 'be open' and experience such things. How can I become open or is it because I truly don't want to be?
S: No, you just have to keep working at it, honey. Just ask God every night to help you to be open. You have to ask for it. It can be very gradual at first and then it bursts.
A: Does the Other Side look the same to everyone?
S: Everyone perceives the Other Side exactly the same. They all see the same thing. No matter the person or religion. (Sylvia referred to her book, The Other Side and Back, as providing a more in depth explanation on this question.
A: Okay, true animal lovers are going to believe in a lot of what you have to say in this book because we want to know our pets are safe and happy, but what about skeptics? How can you discuss this with people who don't really believe?
S: Oh, we don't care about that now, do we? You can't expect everyone to believe in the same things the same way you do.
Finally, it was time to let Sylvia move on to her next appointment.
A: You have a new book coming out December 1st.
S: Yes, "The Truth About Psychics".
A: What is this book going to address?
S: It's going to help people differentiate and be more learned as to what to look for in when seeking guidance from a psychic. I'm just sick and tired of people going to psychics and have them tell their curse and all that crazy stuff. I want to educate people that a psychic has to be specific – they can't just go out on stage and say does anyone here drive a car? I've watched it happen.
A: What else is coming up?
S: I'll be in Erie, PA, end of February 2010 at the Warner Theatre.
A: What will you be discussing in your show?
S: I'll be talking about how to heal yourself psychically.
A: Thank you for your time. It was an honor to have the chance to talk to you.
S: My pleasure, darling. Now, take care of your stomach. And, cut the dairy. Get rid of it. It's bad for you.

Fans of Douglas Adams and P. G. Wodehouse will love visiting Jasper Fforde's Great Britain, circa 1985, when time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously: it's a bibliophile's dream. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontë's novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career. Fforde's ingenious fantasy—enhanced by a Web site that re-creates the world of the novel—unites intrigue with English literature in a delightfully witty mix. Thursday's zany investigations continue with six more bestselling Thursday Next novels, including One of Our Thursdays is Missing and the upcoming The Woman Who Died A Lot. Visit jasperfforde.com.
"Neatly delivers alternate history, Monty Pythonesque comedy skits, Grand Guignol supervillains, thwarted lovers, po-mo intertextuality, political commentary, time travel, vampires, absent-minded inventors, a hard-boiled narrator, and lots, lots more…. Suspend your disbelief, find a quiet corner and just surrender to the storytelling voice of the unstoppable, ever-resourceful Thursday Next." —The Washington Post
"Fforde's imaginative novel will satiate readers looking for a Harry Potter-esque tale…. The Eyre Affair's literary wonderland recalls Douglas Adams's Hitchhikers series, the works of Lewis Carroll and Woody Allen's The Kugelmass Episode." —USA Today
"Filled with clever wordplay, literary allusion and bibliowit, The Eyre Affair combines elements of Monty Python, Harry Potter, Stephen Hawking and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but its quirky charm is all its own." —The Wall Street Journal
"Jasper Fforde's first novel, The Eyre Affair, is a spirited sendup of genre fiction—it's part hardboiled mystery, part time-machine caper—that features a sassy, well-read 'Special Operative in literary detection' named Thursday Next, who will put you more in mind of Bridget Jones than Miss Marple. Fforde delivers almost every sentence with a sly wink, and he's got an easy way with wordplay, trivia, and inside jokes…. Fforde's verve is rarely less than infectious." —The New York Times Book Review
"[Fforde] delivers multiple plot twists, rampant literary references and streams of wild metafictional invention in a novel that places literature at the center of the pop-cultural universe…. It all adds up to a brainy, cheerfully twisted adventure." —Time Out New York
"[The Eyre Affair] is a blend of suspense and silliness, two parts fantasy (think Alice in Wonderland meets Superman), two parts absurdity (think Carl Hiaasen) and one part mystery (Agatha Christie meets Sue Grafton)." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Following are the highlights and lowlights from Penn State's 35-7 victory over Illinois on Saturday at Memorial Stadium:
Play of the game: On fourth-and-goal from the PSU 4 with less than 20 seconds left in the first half, Michael Mauti intercepted Nathan Scheelhaase at the goal line and, ala James Harrison in the Super Bowl, raced 99 yards down the sidelines. He was caught by Miles Osei, and, after an official review, ruled down at the 1 with one second left.
Offensive player of the game: Penn State tailback Zach Zwinak rushed for 100 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns - all career highs.
Defensive player of the game: Mauti made two interceptions to go with six tackles.
Most telling statistic: Penn State rushed for 212 yards and passed for 211.
Hidden statistic: Of its first 12 third-down opportunities, Illinois converted once.
Best run: Has to be Mauti's 99-yarder.
Best pass: Matt McGloin hit tight end Matt Lehman with a 21-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, extending the Lions' lead to 21-0.
Worst pass: Several by Scheelhaase, but if you're looking to be more provincial: Leading 14-0 in the first quarter, McGloin threw behind an open Brandon Moseby-Felder on a crossing pattern inside the Illinois 25.
Best catch: Kyle Carter did a nice job to snag a low sideline pass that turned into a 16-yard gain in the third quarter.
Catch it, will ya: lllinois had a couple drops, including one by Ryan Lankford, son of former PSU cornerback Paul Lankford. Nit tailback Bill Belton also dropped a pass.
Hold it, won't ya: Alex Kenney fumbled following a first-half reception, but it went out of bounds.
Best block: Jesse Della Valle did a nice job to get out in front of Evan Lewis' early 26-yard punt return.
Best tackle: On fourth-and-1 from the Penn State 28, leading 14-0 midway through the second quarter, Gerald Hodges and Jordan Hill stopped Scheelhaase, letting out what little air there was in the Illini.
Best hit: Nit safety Stephen Obeng-Agyapong drilled Illinois' Donovonn Young in front of the Illinois bench in the second quarter.
Best coverage: PSU linebacker Mike Hull continues to be in good position and broke up a third-down pass to force an early Illinois punt.
Best kick: Illini punter Justin Duvernois uncorked a 57-yarder that spun inside the Lions' 5 and pinned them at their own 1 early in the fourth quarter.
Worst kick: Illinois' Taylor Zalewski pushed a 26-yard field goal attempt wide right late in the first quarter with the Illini down 14-0 and needing a boost.
Worst penalty: Illinois safety Earnest Thomas was ejected for hitting Lehman with a helmet-to-helmet foul in the end zone. Illinois showed its lack of discipline early when V'Angelo Bentley roughed PSU kicker Sam Ficken following a made 24-yard field goal. The penalty gave the Lions a first down at the Illini 3 and turned into Penn State's first touchdown.
Best call: The Illini staff sprung a surprise with a 22-yard touchdown reception on a halfback pass from Josh Ferguson to Spencer Harris that cut PSU's lead to 21-7.
Worst call: Was surprised Bill O'Brien, gambler that he is, tried the 18-yard field goal with a second left in the first half (which was blocked), rather than going for the knockout punch from the Illinois 1.
Best effort: Lion safety Malcolm Willis showed great hustle and dragged down Young after a 52-yard burst to the PSU 11 in the first quarter - a play that led to a missed field goal.
Unsung hero: PSU backup linebacker Mike Yancich is turning into a special teams demon. He was credited with seven tackles, including combining with DaQuan Jones to stop Young from the Lions' 1 on the game's final play.

Craig Breslow started the Strike 3 Foundation, which heightens awareness, mobilizes support, and raises funding for childhood cancer research.
Clay Buchholz created the Clay Buchholz Foundation with his wife Lindsay in March 2013 to provide health, educational and sports opportunities to improve the lives of children in need. The Foundation's inaugural beneficiaries include Christopher's Haven and Pitching in for Kids, two New England area nonprofit organizations that provide resources and programs directly to children needing special assistance.
David Ortiz started the David Ortiz Children's Fund, which is dedicated to raising funds that enable children in the Dominican Republic and the Northeastern United States to have access to the pediatric critical care they need to live full, productive lives. Three times during the season, children from Massachusetts General Hospital for Children meet David and enjoy a game at Fenway Park as part of his Papi's Pals ticket program.
Dustin Pedroia's "Pedroia's Platoon" ticket program will support military members, inviting them and their families to meet him during batting practice and watch a game at Fenway.
Through this special ticket program, Red Sox players and coaches donate tickets to highly deserving members of the community, such as teachers, military personnel, police officers, fire fighters, and community organizations. The program was started as an effort to recognize role models and to say thank you to all those in the community who make this world a better place to live.
Red Sox player's wives play an important role in community outreach efforts with their commitment to many important causes. The wives actively support the Red Sox Foundation by volunteering and participating in events like the Run to Homebase and Fenway to the Runway. The Red Sox players and their wives make appearances at schools, youth groups and hospitals. Many of the players and their wives purchase game tickets and food vouchers for kids, or provide direct financial support for youth groups.

VAL GARDENA, Italy � Bode Miller likely won�t start his season until February as part of his cautious return from left knee surgery. There�s also a chance he might sit out the entire season.
Meanwhile, Miller is taking care of his new wife, who he hit in the eye with a golf ball Wednesday.
Miller�s knee first bothered him last winter when he was competing on an icy hill in Sochi, Russia, during a test race for the 2014 Olympics. He needed microfracture surgery, during which doctors also mended cartilage that�s hampered him since a crash in 2001.
U.S. Ski Team head coach Sasha Rearick said Miller is scheduled to fly to Europe in early January to begin training.
�Let�s train first. Step by step. The first step is to get on the skis, then the race skis, then train,� Rearick said. �I would love to have him race as soon as possible, but let�s look long-term. Let�s look ahead to Sochi; let�s look ahead to the (next) World Cup season.
Miller was planning to train more in Colorado this month, then plans changed.
�We decided to take a longer break and let the knee heal a little bit more,� Rearick said. �All the effects we�ve seen from the follow-ups with the doctors are all very, very positive. So let�s be real smart about it, let�s do it right, and right now we�re delaying his return because the healing process is going the right way.�
Meanwhile, Miller reported on Twitter on Wednesday about the accident involving his wife.
�Hit wife w golfball. (hash)worstfeelingever,� wrote Miller, with attached photos of his wife, pro volleyball player Morgan Miller, and her left eye completely closed and badly bloodied.

Rachel Hendrix, a Nevada State high school rodeo champion who graduated from Churchill County High School in 2013, was found dead Sunday morning in the living accommodations of her horse trailer in southern Utah.
Churchill County Sheriff Ben Trotter said his department received a call from the Iron County Sheriff's Office. Trotter said officer Dave Mitchell reported Hendrix apparently died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Trotter was told that the boyfriend, Wayce Pulham, notified the Iron County Sheriff's Office. At last report, Trotter said Pulham was in the hospital with carbon monoxide related symptoms.
Trotter said his office notified her father, Clay Hendrix, of her death early Sunday evening.
Hendrix, who was one of the state's top female cowgirls in high school rodeo, was attending Southern Utah University in Cedar City.
Friends have been commenting on social media since news of her death was known.
Kassi Venturacci of Fallon, who was a top female rodeo performer Nevada before competing at UNLV expressed her sorrow:
"My heart goes out to you Rachel. You were an amazing young girl and you were a role model to so many little cowgirls. Rest in Peace up there with your grandpa. Know that there are girls at all the rodeos saying I want to be just like Rachel Hendrix. A beautiful talented cowgirl."
Cailee Sue Hall said Hendrix touched so many lives.
"Heaven gained a heck of a cowgirl and an even better person!" Bailey Corkill
Bailey Corkill, the national high school rookie of the year who competed at CCHS and later at UNLV, wrote from Weatherford, Texas.
"My heart is heavy this morning hearing about the passing of such a young life. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hendrix family, RIP Rachel."

Clinical Trials
Northwestern Memorial Hospital, along with the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, is dedicated to research and learning. We believe clinical trials play a vital role in testing new treatments to determine whether they have potential benefits for patients, and we participate in a wide range of clinical trials.
Current Clinical Trials
The list of clinical trials we are participating in is ever-changing. If you wish to search for clinical trials, visit the National Institutes of Health database and search for Northwestern Memorial Hospital. You may also talk to your doctor about trials that might be right for you and learn more about clinical trials and how you may participate.
About Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are closely controlled, scientific research studies involving patients and volunteers. These trials are not considered treatments for a particular disease or condition. One goal of clinical trials is to learn more about diseases and potential treatments or cures to help patients now and in the future. Though participants may not benefit directly from being part of the trial, they will receive additional care while participating, and this care may result in being treated more quickly for any medical needs related to the condition being studied. They may also notice an improved quality of life, and many participants have reported that being a part of something bigger than they are, helping others, is important to them as well.

Fitness is not the arena reserved only for women. Even men are in dire need of fitness tips these days, and are looking to build a healthy and lean body.
Many people wrongly assume that fitness has something to do with stick thin bodies. The truth is that, it has nothing to do with the size of your body. You can be heavy and still be fit at the same time. So what is fitness? It is essentially a sound and healthy state of body as well as mind. Health has become an issue of concern these days, owing to our unhealthy lifestyle. Disorders such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes etc., are becoming graver by the day. The only way to cope with these disorders is by following a regular fitness regimen. Being fit does not necessarily mean expensive gym memberships and working out on hi-fi equipments. It essentially means adopting a healthy lifestyle to enhance your mental and physical endurance.

"My father is over the moon to be a grandfather," the 28-year-old said of Prince Charles while talking to Royal Marines and their families at HM Naval Base in Devonport, Plymouth, Friday.
Tasha Reilly, 35, who was the guest of her partner Lt. Col. Tristan Harris, 42, then asked if he'd be rushing to have children now, adding: "No pressure then?"
Harry replied: "No, he's got one [grandchild] now it will be fine. The pressure's off now."
He was at the base to officially open the new Royal Marines Tamar, a $45 million center of amphibious excellence. It will be used for training in using vehicles including hovercraft and all types of coastal and river landings.
He also reviewed a parade by 1 Assault Group Royal Marines, with music including the National Anthem played by HM Band of the Royal Marines.
During the visit, Harry, who wore his Household Cavalry service dress uniform with his light blue Army Air Corps beret, chatted to members of the parade and their relatives.
One enthusiastic 6-year-old named Jacob showed him a colorful drawing of them together on a Naval ship with the message: "Dear Harry, You're fantastic," to which the prince commented: "It looks like you're driving."
The Prince then joined Mrs. Marie Francis, 68, to cut the ribbon on the center's new training block dedicated to her husband, Colour Sergeant Michael James Francis, who was awarded a Distinguished Service Medal for his bravery in the Falklands conflict.

Michelle Knight spent nearly 11 years of her life inside a house of horror where she was chained, tortured, raped and beaten. Despite the nightmarish conditions she endured, she wants everyone to know one thing – she's a survivor.
"I don't dwell on the past. I really try to look forward," says Knight, 33, who spoke exclusively with PEOPLE. "I want to be remembered as a victor, not a victim."
It has been a year since Knight, along with two other women – Amanda Berry, 28, and Gina DeJesus, 24 – escaped from their captor Ariel Castro on May 6, 2013. Since then, the women have gone their separate ways while they heal and get reacquainted with the lives they once led.
Knight is embarking on an international book tour to promote her memoir, Finding Me, which hit bookshelves Tuesday. In it, she reveals how a troubled childhood helped her cope with some of her darkest days in captivity.
"It was a difficult [childhood], but it's no longer me now," she says. "I learned to cope with certain things that happened to me when I was younger, and it helped me to survive this incident that I went through."
Since her escape, Knight has started attending cooking school and hopes to one day have her own restaurant. She has found a network of friends who share her passion for singing and dancing.
"There are some things I'm still having problems with," she says. "With all the damage that was done to me in the house, my eyes don't see right – they jump a lot. And I have to take medication to control the tremors [in my arms]." But she's not complaining.
"I'm doing really good," she says. "Freedom is the air I breathe, the city I walk in. Everything is beautiful to me."
For more on Michelle Knight's amazing story and an exclusive excerpt from her memoir, Finding Me, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

Warm weather causing health issues
Allergens that should be minimized in winter are still hanging around
Published 9:38 PM CST Jan 19, 2013
You may have been enjoying these warmer temperatures lately, but doctors in the metro say they are actually doing more harm than good.
Doctors tell us that the unseasonably warm weather has led to a nasty combination for allergies. That's because our cold snaps have not been enough to kill off allergens and the lack of moisture has not knocked them out of the air.
The frustrating part, doctors say as long as we don't see much moisture, there is not much you can do.
They recommend washing hands, covering your cough, and seeking medical treatment if symptoms become severe.

Codekases are known for their literary and alcoholic prowess and crude sense of humor. If you find one, it might just very well be the most memorable meeting of your life. Do not anger a Codekas, it can lead to a verbal destruction the like that would make the Lord of Hosts Himself weep on your behalf.

John Shearer/Invision/Associated Press
John Shearer/Invision/Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, Calif. � Rock musician Dave Grohl set out to make a recording studio the subject of his first-ever film. He was intrigued not only by the studio but by a specific piece of recording equipment � a 1970s era sound board � that captured every note of music made there.
Geek city, right? It sounds like an idea any sane moviegoer would run from.
Instead, �Sound City� offers a colorful piece of music history, a candid examination of changes wrought by technology and a defiant statement about not surrendering the human element in creativity. Grohl�s rookie film made it to the Sundance movie festival, is being released theatrically Friday and is accompanied by an album featuring artists he interviewed.
�It honestly was more like a keg party with a camera than making a Hollywood film,� he said.
Grohl knew nothing about the Sound City studio in Van Nuys, Calif., when he and fellow Nirvana members Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic booked a session to make �Nevermind� in 1991. Their California record company wanted Nirvana nearby to keep an eye on them and time at Sound City was cheap.
It was in a nondescript neighborhood and looked like a dump, with tired shag carpeting. Then Nirvana noticed all the gold records on the wall from artists who had recorded there: Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Van Halen, REO Speedwagon, Guns �n Roses, Neil Young, Cheap Trick, Slayer, Rick Springfield and more.
After plugging in their instruments and running through �In Bloom,� Grohl and his mates discovered why. The sound, to their ears, was amazing. Nirvana had never been captured with such clarity and power before.
�You might have never heard of Nirvana if we had recorded in Hollywood with a fancy producer who made us sound like Def Leppard,� he said. �The fact that that (sound) board made us sound like us is what people appreciated. To be reunited with it, honestly, it was like meeting your real parents for the first time.�
Sound City owners bought the recording console designed by British engineer Rupert Neve for $76,000 at a time many houses cost half that. When Grohl inquired about buying it a few years ago, the studio operator then suggested she�d rather sell her grandmother. But Sound City closed and Grohl�s wish came true (he won�t say what he paid for it). The console is now in a studio that Grohl and his band, Foo Fighters, operate in the North Ridge section of Los Angeles.
Sound City became a hot studio after the modern incarnation of Fleetwood Mac was essentially born there, and Grohl�s film includes vintage footage of a young Petty with his Heartbreakers.
�It was our home away from home,� said Stevie Nicks. She recorded �Buckingham Nicks,� her album with then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham, at Sound City, and met her current backup singer there in 1972. Nicks and Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac soon after, and the album that propelled the band to stardom was made on the Neve console.
Seeing Grohl�s movie, and the memories that came flooding back, made her cry, Nicks said.
Sound City struggled in the mid-1980s because technology led artists elsewhere, until Nirvana made it a mecca for a new generation. Now technology is so good that people can essentially record alone in their bedrooms, and they do. That doomed Sound City and many other studios.
As Mick Fleetwood says in �Sound City,� just because you can record by yourself doesn�t necessarily make it a great idea.
�When you get four different people, four different personalities, four different players in a room � that combination equals magic,� Grohl said. �You can get the Beatles and you can get the Rolling Stones and you can get AC/DC. That happens because of people�s imperfections and bad habits. That�s what gives music personality, and that�s what I think is exciting about music.�
Grohl spoke while sitting in his studio, in a room filled with guitars and overlooking the sound board he reveres. Homework assignments of songs to learn for an upcoming Sundance appearance were listed on a sheet of paper for when Foo Fighters arrived later in the day, including some by Nicks and John Fogerty. �Can you believe it?� Grohl said. �I�m singing �Stop Draggin� My Heart Around� with Stevie Nicks!�
There�s no hiding the excited kid in Grohl�s eyes when the film depicts him, Novoselic and Pat Smear jamming with Paul McCartney in the same studio. The collaboration resulted in a song, �Cut Me Some Slack,� that they performed publicly at the Sandy benefit and on the new album.
Many people have wrongly interpreted his film to be anti-technology, Grohl said. �I�m not Amish,� he said, noting he uses advanced recording equipment all the time. �Sound City� interviews Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor as an example of a technical wizard who still benefits from collaborations.
�The intention was to inspire people to fall in love with the human element and the human process of making music,� he said. �A lot of kids only hear music on their video games. A lot of kids only see singing contests on television. They don�t know that you can buy a (lousy) guitar at a garage sale, and sit in your garage with your neighbor and write a song by yourself and suck. And then become the biggest band in the world. It happens that way.�
Grohl�s 6-year-old daughter recently asked her dad to listen to her play �Twinkle Twinkle Little Star� on the violin. It sounded like someone strangling a goose while scratching nails down a chalkboard, he said.
To his daughter�s ears, it was beautiful music.
Judging by �Sound City,� it was to Grohl�s, too.
Associated Press correspondent Natalie Rotman contributed to this report.

One out of three middle school and high school classes in the Buffalo Public Schools have 16 or fewer students enrolled – a situation that is costing the district $7 million each year without yielding any clear academic benefits, consultants found in reports released Monday.
Not only are many classes not fully enrolled, but rampant student absenteeism leaves many high school classrooms sparsely populated on any given day, according to the consultants, who were hired by Say Yes to Education.
"Very few of the high school classes we went into had more than nine students," Scott Joftus, one of the consultants, said during a meeting with The Buffalo News Editorial Board.
His firm, Cross & Joftus, sent observation teams into 195 classrooms throughout the district last spring. The five-minute observations were used to analyze systemic issues, he said, not to evaluate individual teachers.
His systems review of the district dovetailed with a financial audit done by Schoolhouse Partners, which found a total of $13.7 million to $20 million in annual savings in the district's budget – $7 million of which could be realized by combining class sections with low enrollment.
About 3,200 of the district's 9,200 middle school and high school sections had 16 or fewer students, according to Dan Barcan, a principal of Schoolhouse Partners. In comparison, when his firm did a similar analysis in Syracuse – a district two-thirds the size of Buffalo – they found 400 sections with 16 or fewer students.
Superintendent Pamela C. Brown said she has not made any decisions regarding combining classes with low enrollment but added that the information from the reports would be taken into account as part of the district's strategic planning process.
Maximum teaching loads are set by the teachers' contracts. At the high school level, for instance, the maximum load for English teachers is 135 students; for other courses, it's 150 students. Elementary teachers can have no more than 30 students in their class through third grade, and no more than 32 students in fourth- through sixth-grade classes.
The other potential savings Barcan identified included:
• Increasing the number of people who report to each district administrator: $2.7 million to $9 million. The district "has a glut of managers with less supervisory responsibility than expected," Barcan wrote in his report.
In some cases, district administrators are doing the same work as lower-level employees, but making higher salaries, he said. Savings could be realized either through making job titles more accurately reflect the work that people do, or by cutting administrators.
• Renegotiating the contract with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority for bus passes for high school students: $2.5 million. That contract was last negotiated in 1990, he said. The district pays too much for what is rather limited access for students – they can ride buses and trains only during times they would be going to and from school, and only on the routes between their home and school.
• Converting the paperwork in the human resources department to a web-based system: $700,000. Nearly all forms are currently filled out on paper and physically walked from one office to another, making for a highly inefficient system.
• Reducing the number of photocopies that employees make: $292,000. Barcan suggested assigning a personal ID number for each employee's access to photocopies.
The total potential savings he identified works out to about 1.5 percent to 2 percent of the district's annual budget, which exceeds $900 million.
He also addressed the issue of charter schools, which district officials frequently cite as a source of financial problems because a certain amount of funding follows each student who leaves to attend a charter school.
"The common narrative is that students are leaving for charter schools – and to some degree, that's happening," Barcan said. "But citywide enrollment, combining both district schools and charter schools, is also falling. And most charter seats are in elementary schools, while the highest rate of attrition in the district is middle school and high school."
Joftus' 120-page systems review echoed many of the same themes that distinguished educator Judy Elliott touched on in her recent report to the state education commissioner.
"We found that the culture has become one of being very passive and having very low expectations for students and adults in the system," he said.
Even compared with districts with similar student demographics, including Syracuse, Rochester and Yonkers, Buffalo reported worse outcomes in many measures, including suspension rates for students with disabilities; English and math proficiency for elementary and middle school students; and high school graduation rates.
Throughout the district, Joftus found excessive student absenteeism; high rates of special-education classifications; a poorly managed professional development system; a lack of school-based hiring decisions; a lack of data-driven decision-making; and no clear plan for turning the district around.
The district hasn't tried to replicate successful, sought-after programs like City Honors School, he said, nor figured out effective ways to make the lowest-performing schools more desirable to students and families.
He noted that his firm found huge inequities in the Advanced Placement offerings at the various high schools. Performing Arts, City Honors and Hutch Tech, for instance, each offer at least seven AP classes, while Bennett, Burgard, East and Lafayette offer one or two each.
The consultants conducted their reviews primarily in the spring, prior to Pamela C. Brown's appointment as superintendent.
They also emphasized that the reports reviewed the district as a whole, as opposed to individual teachers or administrators.
"Working in a broken system, it's difficult to be successful," Joftus said.
His systems review, though, suggested much of the responsibility for the current situation lies with two players: former Superintendent James A. Williams and the Buffalo Teachers Federation.
"The previous administration's leadership style established in the district a culture of obedience and siloed behaviors rather than trust, collaboration and 'can do-it-ness,'" he wrote.
One unnamed district administrator is quoted as describing implementing an initiative not approved by former Deputy Superintendent Folasade Oladele as "sneaking behind enemy lines with water." Others described certain administrative meetings as "laden with insults and shouting."
Joftus' report also points a finger at the BTF contract, which expired in 2004, saying that "it does not reflect best practices in talent management or education policy and undermines school and district improvement efforts."
The contract limits the district's ability to: evaluate teachers, transfer teachers, decide which teachers to lay off, terminate teachers, and require teachers to attend professional development to the extent necessary, among other things, according to the report.
Say Yes and its consultants presented summaries of their reports to the School Board at a special board meeting Monday evening in McKinley High School.
Say Yes has commissioned several other consultant studies, the results of which have not yet been released.

At Home in Utopia
by Michal Goldman and Ellen Brodsky
New York City cops in the Great Depression called it Little Moscow, but for the 2,000 Jewish immigrant residents of the United Workers Cooperative Colony, a.k.a. "the Coops," it was their first taste of the American dream. At Home in Utopia bears witness to an epic social experiment, following two generations of residents and their commitment to radical ideas of racial equality and rights for tenants and workers.

Wow, the Packer Defense really looked bad today!
It looked like any good High School team could have scored on them. Just like last year they couldn't stop the long pass and got burned on them time after time. I was hoping that they would have improved after being one of the worst defenses last year.
The 49r's defense in the mean time had a field day and lived up to the pre-game reports that I read about them.

I was buying clothes for my granddaughters birthday from Kohls, but I had no coupons from them at the time. I went on to Offers.com and found a 30% one that I used. This gave me over a $20 discount that helped tremendously! I will continue to look for offers at Offers.com. Thanks!

I have been a Kohls customer/card holder for more than 10 years. All of a sudden I have not been receiving Kohl' s emails, or my Kohl' s cash, when I place an order on line. This has been happening since Dec. 2015. I have contacted Kohl's, they told me to contact my internet carrier, they tell me to contact Kohl' s. I am tired of the finger pointing, and want some results. I am entitled to my Cash rewards, and haven't received a dime. Check my account, see what I have purchased, and send me, via US mail, what I am entitled to. I receive the ads in the mail, since I called, but no emails, no cash rewards, nothing via the internet !! Sandra K Barnes

Didn't work out for me. Kohl's e-mailed they had my item in store. Went to pick it up and the order was cancelled. No cancelation e-mail. Waste of time and effort for me. Not Offers fault but it still was aggravating.

I had been waiting for KohIs to have their sales on towels. When I got the offers.com emails telling me of the great deal kohls was having on their towels I was so excited I had signed up for the emails. I immediately went to kohl website and ordered 20 towels. I would have missed the great deal if I wouldn't have gotten the email. Saved me 6.60 on each towel I bought.

beaulexus634 commented on 1/23/16
I always check my emails from Offers.com. I had a Kohl's Cash certificate that needed to be used. However when postage was added it made it questionable if I wanted to order anything. My certificate was about to expire when Offers.com brought it to my attention that there was free shipping no minimum and a straight 30% off if I used my Kohl's card. Deal!

When I find an offer I am interested in checking out I like the ease of adding the coupon code to that company's order form.

Using the Kohl's site with the good discount was easy. My only issue was the cost of shipping. Bought a dual towel set (3 each). The shipping was almost as much as the goods. But, that might be a Kohl's issue. Would be nice if Offers.com negotiated free or lower shipping. Just a thought. But, overall, was a pleasant experience.

Many times coupons, saving offers from other companies do not work when activated. Coupon worked exactly as Offers said it would. Fast and easy to use.

@rodriarambulo - We're glad to hear you enjoyed your shopping experience! Kohl's does have a ship-to-store option, you just may have overlooked it. :)

I went to the Nike outlet at the the outlets of orange and found a small variety of styles for men. I decided to look at my offers email and checled it out. I found some real nice shoes for 52 bucks and just paid tax and shipping. I gave it a 5 star rating because it had alot of variety and for real good prices, however itd be nice if there was an option where you bought it online and could pick it up in a local store. My feet are killing me because i use purcells for the gym and having to wait on my athletic shoe is not helping. On the upside shipping doesnt take as long as Groupon for example. Overall im happy with my experience and purchase. I reccommend it!

I like the Kohl's % off coupons you have. They always work and the % off is usually more than what I get from their circular.

Twenty students from the College of Charleston traveled to a mountain village in Honduras for a third consecutive year to make the most out of their spring break. The ongoing relationship with local communities in Honduras provides students with service learning experiences with payback well beyond the economic opportunities that are created for the local communities.
This year's week-long service learning trip was to the mountain village of Pajarillos. Business students met with local households and the community leaders to help determine small enterprises that would be sustainable based on the skills and needs of the community. During their time in Pajarillos, the students helped to fund a bakery, two corn silos to store and sell corn at market peaks and two school community vegetable gardens to improve nutrition and teach children how to grow alternative crops.
Global Brigades, an organization that helps to organize service-learning experiences around the world, has worked closely with the School of Business over the past three years to develop long-term, impactful business and capital improvement ventures in the regions visited by the students. Elise Lasko, a 2011 School of Business alumnus, was recruited by Global Brigades as a program coordinator in Honduras. Now, she and other Global Brigades employees will train the villagers and build and begin to operate the bakery business with them.
"While these may seem like simple business ventures and capital improvements for U.S. standards, they are significant investments that will have long-term income opportunities for the locals who now own them," says Rene Mueller, associate dean of undergraduate programs and director of the Global Business Resource Center. "It's such a meaningful learning experience for our students to apply basic business principals and then see huge returns for the Hondurans."
During their spring break, students also taught basic finance courses to women and paid for 10 memberships at the Caja Ruralas (bank).
Numerous Mount Pleasant organizations and businesses contributed donations for the students and staff advisors to deliver to the Honduran villages. A sincere thank you goes to the Town of Mount Pleasant Recreation Department for its donation of 400 camp and sports team T-shirts, Dr. Cynthia Garner for her contribution of 150 toothbrushes, the Residence Inn by Marriott (IOP Connector) for large boxes of toiletries, and several pairs of reading glasses courtesy of Harbor Specialties of Mount Pleasant. Children's toys and adult shirts were also donated by the Town of Mount Pleasant Office of Community Development and Tourism.
Contact Rene Mueller at email@example.com or 843-953-5394 for more information on service learning projects at the College of Charleston School of Business.
