What am I doing? Depends on the day.
Just the whole Man-boob thing turns me off.
I grew up around military, saw military all my life, married military. The definition of lean and cut is these guys. Being around them most of my life, then seeing "regular" people, just makes me sad with their wheat bellies and overweight kids.
The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
Psalms 144:15
Annie Sires
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
Pope John Paul II
Did it ever occur to anyone that steeping ourselves and our children in pesticides, herbicides and artificial hormones for decades might not be as healthy as they had hoped? The men I see who are my age, they don't even look like men. They look like washed-up fifteen year olds, either twig-skinny or fat with man-boobs, most of them carry blood glucose monitors, and none of them can even grow a proper beard. They're... infantilized physically, for lack of a better term; they look like they never properly grew up. Or is that what dudes are supposed to look like? No wonder I'm never interested in any of 'em.
wooaaa, need to vent! Well, I already vented a bit to DH on the way back but ...
We visited some friends for the past few days. We knew they eat crap so I was mentally prepared to not stress about it and do the best I can given the circumstances (thank god they had eggs, the worse quality but still ...eggs, and barbecue - not the best meat but still meat; and some salad, nuts and banana chips ).
But I found out she was pregnant! 3 months. Looking at what she ate made me wanna kill her, sorry I love her but that's just crazy!!! Coca cola (I quote "I should not have too much Cola because of the caffeine in it but the doctor said I can have 200mg caffeine/day so I'm drinking to the limit"), canned meat (the max 60% meat type, the rest soy & crap additives), bad quality hotdogs and salami, pre-deep-fried chicken wings (with 7 lines of ingredients, YES, seven!), tons and tons of fried nuts/cashew/peanuts/sunflower seeds (I quote again "The doctor said I should eat many, many nuts, just as much as I eat meat), tons of bread ("The doctor said I should have many carbohydrates", well the doctor apparently he said mostly potatoes and rice but ... bread is tastier?!), chocolate, ice-cream, margarine (I asked for some butter to fry the beef, I got a big box of something, I said that's margarine, they said noooo, it's butter; we looked together on the label, it was margarine, with SOME butter; but it said "frying butter" in capital letters so they did not bother reading the small "print").
I had to hold my comments for most of the time, I did a few times that they maybe should avoid this and that and they can make their own chicken wings with whatever taste they want but I don't wanna start preaching again (especially as they already know my opinion and they asked a couple of times in the past years what they should eat because they were not feeling great and gaining weight with what they previously did). It never went anywhere previously. I doubt anything will change now. I just hope the baby will be ok.
On a closer to home subject.
I had a meeting today during lunchtime that took a bit longer that planned. It was 10 mins before the restaurant was supposed to close (I brought no food with me today as we just came back from holiday but the restaurant normally has meat & veggies or meat & salad so not a big deal) and it meant I had to hurry to catch something. I just said... screw it, Ill eat when I get home. So I guess this is how you end up fasting without planning. Its gonna be almost 20h in the end, I guess
My friend decided a month or so ago that since I am doing so well on primal, she was going to give it a shot too so she can lose weight. But instead of actually researching what I do or, you know, listening to me, she decided to do the most half-assed mish-mash of CW and primal ever conceived. I got her to buy some grassfed butter and butcher meat with me, and she claimed she was going to give up diet coke. That lasted all of like 3 weeks, now she's back to drinking diet coke all day long. She also still eats wheat freely, and her eyes light up for spaghetti and garlic bread and naan and cupcakes and whatever other carbs she wants. She doesn't care about cooking oils, types of fat, etc.
She always acts super smug and like she's doing a perfect 100% on primal when she eats kale and bacon fried in butter, and brags to me about how nutritious she's eating, but then she turns around and says "I'm going to start eating egg white omelets!" and I say "Dear god, why? That shit is completely tasteless and you're missing out on most of the actual nutrition from the egg." The answer? "Well, Beyonce eats them. I want to look like Beyonce!"
........................................ Sigh.
I realize that it's her body and she can do whatever the hell she wants, but I wish she would at least stop deluding herself that she's eating clean and on the road to losing weight. When we go to the gym together, I lift heavy to failure, and she lifts 5lb weights for a million reps while she stares into space, or goes on the treadmill. She regularly walks 5-6 miles (like a couple times a week), which is great but isn't going to make her build any actual muscle, and she does it so often that her body's probably used to it at this point. She hears about how my clothes are all too loose because I've lost so much weight and she acts like it's just a matter of time before her clothes are loose too, since she's totally doing exactly what I do. Except... uh, not.
It just really frustrates me that she acts like she knows what she's talking about when she really doesn't. I tell her what I do for my own results and she takes it into consideration as like one of many possible options (which includes straight-up CW nonsense like egg white omelets and low weights at a million reps for "toning"). Eating spaghetti AND butter, bacon AND cupcakes is going to make her gain weight, not lose weight. Biochemistry isn't a pick-and-choose game. You can't just decide for yourself what is going to work, do it really half-assed, and then assume the weight's gonna drop off. She treats it like it's just a matter of time, like she's doing so well and is so disciplined, and all I can do is bite my tongue.

Agree. What, you think they bother to filter all the hormones out of our water? Hahahahaha. They make sure you can drink it and not die (at least not right away). So all the men you see walking around are basically taking the Pill and getting all estrogen'd up from chemicals, soy and their own excess adipose tissue. It's like they weren't able to finish puberty.That, and then we have people working at desks in their little cubicle farms eating hearthealthywholegrains and fruit sugars every two hours "to keep their energy up". YOU PUT PEOPLE IN A FEEDLOT, STUFF THEM SIX TIMES A DAY, AND THEN WONDER HOW THEY'RE GETTING FAT.

As we reported a few weeks ago, Rupert Grint was in talks to star in a film called "Comrade." Today, we're thrilled to announce that he is now officially confirmed and will begin filming shortly in Norway!
According to an article published today in Norway, Rupert will be portraying a character called Private Robin Southey Smith, an English Armed Forces pilot from Liverpool. Director Peter Naess has also been quoted describing the character as, "a young, rebellious and redheaded rebel."
An official synopsis of the film is below:
Comrade is an anti-war movie. High above the harsh Norwegian wilderness, English and German pilots shoot each other to the ground after a violent chance encounter. Isolated, they must fight to survive the brutal winter. Though war has made them enemies, antagonism is hard to maintain as days go by. Through mutual need, unlikely friendships bloom. Somehow, they become comrades. War, after all, is absurd.
Also set to star in "Comrade" alongside Rupert are actors Florian Lukas ("Goodbye Lenin"), David Kross ("The Reader"), Lachlan Nieboer ("Torchwood"), and Stig Henrik Hoff.

< "Buesgens votes aye" | Main | Hey, we might get a constitutional amendment >
Session ending in a bang (literally)
Posted at 8:42 PM on May 18, 2008 by Michael Marchio
Some Iron Rangers are expressing their anger about the Lake Vermilion State Park, arguing that in an area as economically distressed as theirs, taking more land of the tax rolls won't help.
"The problem is now we have no place to work, all we can do is paddle," said Rep. David Dill (DFL-Crane Lake).
Rep. Tom Rukavina said that he's sick of hearing about the "pristine forests", and that the governor didn't seem to care that much about the Range when he vetoed their other bonding projects, like new science classrooms at Mesabi Range Community and Technical College.
He was interrupted by loud bangs over the top of the Capitol, and Speaker Kelliher told him she thought he was causing fireworks. If anyone could do it, it would be Rep. Rukavina.
"Send these people a message, God," he yelled. Damn the fireworks, full speed ahead.
The best speech, though, probably belongs to Minority Leader Seifert. He said he didn't feel good about the bill, about how it was crafted behind closed doors, over the objections of the lawmakers and the constituents most directly affected. He said he knows they need 81 votes to pass this, and that the governor wants the park, but that members should be able to vote their conscience.
Rep. Seifert has been known to throw a cherry bomb or two of his own on the floor, as any leader must, but in the Commish's opinion, Rep. Seifert sounded downright statesmanlike tonight, and his appeal to lawmakers, while less fiery than Rep. Rukavina's, was even more effective. I'll link to his speech tomorrow.
The bill passed, 107 to 26, and the House has gone to recess until around 9:45. The Senate's debating the omnibus tax bill, and I'll update you when we get a vote on that.
UPDATE: The tax bill has been passed 56-11.

Youth Development Behavioral Interventions Coordinated with Sports or Club Participation to Reduce Sexual Risk Behaviors in Adolescents
Youth development behavioral interventions employ a holistic approach to adolescent health and wellness, and may or may not include components that are focused directly on pregnancy and STI prevention. These interventions emphasize:
- Social, emotional, or cognitive competence training that promotes pro-social norms
- Improved decision making
- Self-determination
- Positive bonding experiences between youth and their peers or non-parental role models
Sports or club components involve participation in academic, arts or athletic teams such as theater arts, homework club, basketball team, boys and girls club, etc. Such participation provides extended opportunities for adolescents to interact with adults in the community and have a sense of membership in a group with explicit rules and responsibilities.
Summary of Task Force Recommendations and Findings
The Community Preventive Services Task Force finds insufficient evidence to support youth development behavioral interventions coordinated with sports or club participation to reduce sexual risk behaviors among adolescents. Evidence is considered insufficient because there were too few studies of sufficient quality to draw a conclusion on the effectiveness of this combination of interventions.
All of the interventions evaluated in this review included sexual behavior or risk reduction content as part of the behavioral intervention, although the emphasis on this component varied. The Task Force acknowledges that this review, focused on the subset of intervention studies that evaluated change in sexual risk behavior outcomes, does not provide a complete, systematic assessment of all of the evidence regarding overall effectiveness of these combined approaches.
Results of the Systematic Reviews
- The one study that qualified for the review reported a 41% reduction in self-reported pregnancy among program participants, but this effect could not be clearly attributed to youth development behavioral interventions with sports or club participation.
These results were based on a systematic review of all available studies, conducted on behalf of the Task Force by a team of specialists in systematic review methods, and in research, practice and policy related to adolescent sexual behavior and youth development.
Economic Evidence
An economic review of this intervention was not conducted because the Task Force did not have enough information to determine if the intervention works.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Carlton Hotel Edinburgh
A few short blocks from Waverly Station but still too much walking for hubby with bad back. Easy check in and room was fine although quite warm as the city was experiencing some very fine summer weather. Only complaint was the bed; hard as a rock, or extra-firm, would best describe it. Older bones needed a little less emphasis on the pressure points. Otherwise a fine spot and easy asccess to restaurants and pubs.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Carlton Hotel Edinburgh
I recently went there in february for my honemoon and all i can say is outstanding... i had no complaints at all and we will be returning again next feb for our anniversary!outstanding.
Location! Location!
What makes this hotel so ideal is its location. My room overlooked the Waverly Train Station and faced Princes Street with a side view of the magnificent Calton Hill. As I was there for Hogmanay, I appreciated being able to walk right out the front door and over the bridge to Princes' Street or up the street to the Castle etc. However, because of my room's placement, I heard all of the announcements for train arrivals at all hours of the day and night. My twin bedded room was small with barely a place for my suitcase but came with all the modern conveniences; the bathroom was large and beautifully modern. I stayed a better part of a week; cleaning was pefunctory and dusting was obviously not someone's forte. The restaurant was staffed with very pleasant and attentive staff, and the food was consistently quite good whether it was for breakfast or dinner. The concierge was quite knowledgeable and sincere; front desk/reception staff was extremely youthful and somewhat inexperienced, but eager to please. Although not the most attractive devices, I was glad to use the sweets and snacks machines found outside the lifts in the lobby. I would recommend this hotel for an Edinburgh stay.
Great place to stay
My wife and I stayed here over Xmas, 2003. The hotel has clearly been renovated recently. We stayed for 4 nights; rooms are very clean and well laid out. The hotel could not be in a more convenient location. It is just off the 'Royal Mile' and is located near all tourist areas of the city. We found that the staff were especially friendly and obliging.
Great Hotel and Great Location
My wife and I recently stayed here. Great location near all major attractions and right on the Royal Mile. The lobby is fresh and clean. The room was quite large with a great bathroom. I think our floor, if not the whole hotel was recently redone. Very clean and the breakfast was great. I got a $55 GBP rate thru Orbitz, so dont believe that this place is too expensive.
A wonderful stay
I took my partner to Edinburgh for the weekend and we stayed in the Carlton hotel for a saturday night. I must say that this hotel helped to make this weekend absoutely wonderful!The hotel is a 3 minute taxi ride from Edinburgh's main station and is situated in the heart of this beautiful city. Our room was not quite ready when we arrived so we had cream tea in the hotel bar/restaurant. As it was my partner's birthday, I bought a special birthday package, so on our arrival to our room there were a bunch of flowers, chocolates and champagne to greet him. The room was exquistely furnished- all I can say is WOW! The room didn't have the best view of the city, but this didn't detract from the beauty of the room.The hotel staff were very friendly and efficient. We went to the theatre which was a mere 5 minute walk down the road and restaurants are flanked all round the hotel and beyond.You will have a truly wonderful stay at the Carlton Hotel.
Had a weekend break here- had a fabulous time. Staff are all very friendly and always happy to help. The hotel is in the city centre which can be a parking problem but they do vallet parking for �12 a night which is what you'd pay for 24 hour parking at a car park anyway.
When you're checking out they drive your car to the front door for you.
Room was fabulous. Very spacious with great views of the city and although you're up above a very busy street, you can't hear a thing.
Bathroom had obviosly been renovated recently and was beautiful. Had a fridge and mini bar but beware- the mini bar which has snacks too, has an infrared sensor, and if an item is moved, you will be charged for it unless you take the item down to reception to show them that you haven't eaten it!!! Only found that out when my husband took out a kitkat chunky to show it to me!!!! We were staying on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Breakfast was great- bigg buffet with cooked food, fruit, cereals etc. Dinner was a dressy affair. Food was lovely. Got a weekend deal which was cheap. Don't know that I would pay full price though. Will definitly be returning to this hotel.
Needs to just polish up slightly to bring it up to its 4 Star rating...
I have listed some of the features of the Hotel in order of merit and graded each on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best:1. LOCATION - The Hotel could not be better placed right within the heart of the city - just a stones throw from the royal mile, the train station, princess street, Harvey Nicols.....etc 10/102. SERVICE - The staff were well mannered and freindly. Generally no problems there, 9/10.3. INTERIOR - The main entrance is very well presented as are the bedrooms which are comfortable, adequately equipped and reasonably spacious 9/10.4. LESUIRE CENTER - this feature was pretty disappointing to be honest. All of the required facilities were there, sauna, steam, etc. , but the level of fixtures and fittings were below standard. There were tiles falling off the walls in places and part of the pool area was cornered off as light building work was being carried out. I would be very disappointed if I had been going there to make good use of these lesuire facilities, 4/10.5. FOOD - not particularly good. The dishes generally had some good points and bad points. For example, one evening I decided to order a Sirlon Steak with trimmings. When I received the dish, the Steak was cooked to perfection and of good size, however the acompanying vegetables were terrible. They were beyond recognicion and this is not an exaggeration. I though I may have just been unlucky but this was not the case as my meal proved on the other night. I ordered Profiterolls for desert and they were clearly frozen ones and the cream was artificial. The soup was good however and Breakfast was excellent. Evening Meals 3/10, Breakfast 7/10.SUMMARY:Overall, I feel this Hotel did not meet its 4 star rating. It did lack in certain areas, especially in the food department. The price however, �45 per adult per night with Dinner included was pretty reasonable compared to other hotels in the area. If you are looking for somewhere which is cheap and cheerful then the Carlton is probably the place.
Like it, yeah...
nice hotel, placed perfect on the north brigde. service ok+ breakfast ok+ clean ok+
Standard of service
It is advertised as a four star hotel, the first occasion I stayed there it was wonderful. The second time -not so good. The room was not very clean, the service and standard in the restaurant was not very good, thus I left very disappointed. As rates are expensive we expected more
Carlton Highland Hotel - an experience
This hotel is well situated for all of Edinburgh's attractions. It has a small car park for guests. It is currently being upgraded from 4 to 5 star rating. The rooms are what you would expect at this price. Food is fine. The health Club is what lets this place down. I would have expected a more up-to-date place but the gym equipment is old, the 2 squash courts are OK, the pool is small (tiny) and the changing rooms/showers have seen better days. The hotel chain should spend some money here to bring it into line with the rest of the hotel.

Touring Edinburgh
We left the hotel at 9:00 this morning and headed to Edinburgh Castle. The castle was a lot bigger than the castles I've been to recently and it was very pretty! Then we walked the royal mile (which is actually a little longer than a mile). We stopped to eat lunch and then continued our tour of Edinburgh. We passed the Elephant House, which is …
I was so excited to see my mom and dad today!! The flight wasn't bad and once I went through the gates to baggage claim, my mom was waiting for me! She started crying, which made me tear up! It was SO GREAT seeing her, I missed her a lot <3. My dad was golfing but I'd see him when I'd get back later :). We went to the hotel and got settled in. I …
... This bus has a kids channel "horrible histories" so Liam & Rachel tune in to that. They also have a kids activity book which Rachel quickly grabs. We did the tour right around and it was interesting to see all the different buildings and to learn that a number of the streets are bridges over old streets below or just to bridge a valley. We went past Greyfriars and saw the statue of Greyfriars Bobby and everywhere we went the Castle dominated the ...
Climbing to Arthur's Seat
... it was amazing, weather was still holding up suprisingly and we decided to go see some comedy. A few of the ones we were hoping to see had already sold out so we picked some in the caves. They were funny, ones about piarates and then a stand up commedian in a pub that was classic. Grabbed a baked potato with veggie chilli and cheese and scoffed it down together before we saw a guy who's interest was Nietzsche and it was hillarious and free comedy before we heading home to sleep. ...

To assess the incidence of hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy and to identify risk factors for the development of hypothyroidism.
Retrospective analysis.
A tertiary care academic medical center.
The study included 90 patients who underwent a hemithyroidectomy from 1999 to 2004.
Main Outcome Measures
Hypothyroidism was defined as a serum thyrotropin level greater than 6.0 mIU/L at least 8 weeks after hemithyroidectomy. All patients were analyzed for age, sex, surgical indications, preoperative and postoperative thyrotropin levels, weight of resected specimen, final pathologic analysis, and length of follow-up. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify multiple risk factors for the development of hypothyroidism.
The final pathologic analysis demonstrated 49 follicular adenomas, 17 cases of Hashimoto thyroiditis, 10 multinodular goiters, and 14 other abnormalities. The overall incidence of the development of hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy was 27% (24 of 90 patients). When the groups were broken down by pathologic diagnosis, the incidence of hypothyroidism developing during follow-up among the Hashimoto thyroiditis and multinodular goiter groups was 59% and 50%, respectively. Also, the patients who developed hypothyroidism were noted to have statistically significant higher preoperative serum thyrotropin levels (3.15 mIU/L vs 1.95 mIU/L; P<.001) than those who remained euthyroid. There was no relationship between age, sex, or weight of the resected tissue and the subsequent risk of hypothyroidism.
The overall incidence of posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism was 27%, and the majority of cases developed in the first 6 to 12 months after surgery. Risk factors for the development of hypothyroidism include pathologic diagnosis (Hashimoto thyroiditis and multinodular goiter) as well as a high-normal serum thyrotropin level. Routine monitoring of serum thyrotropin levels should be performed in all patients who undergo a hemithyroidectomy.
The incidence and risk factors for the development of hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy remain unclear. Several studies have demonstrated an incidence of postthyroidectomy hypothyroidism ranging from 5.0% to 41.9% among patients who undergo partial thyroid surgery.1- 11 Previously, it was a common practice to prescribe suppressive doses of levothyroxine sodium after hemithyroidectomy. The assumption was that the suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis would reduce the risk of abnormalities developing in the contralateral thyroid remnant. More recently, the routine use of levothyroxine after hemithyroidectomy has fallen out of favor owing to questions regarding the efficacy of thyroid suppression for preventing the development of nodules in the remaining contralateral thyroid lobe. In addition to the concerns regarding the efficacy of thyroid suppression, levothyroxine therapy has been associated with significant adverse effects, including atrial fibrillation and bone calcium loss (particularly in postmenopausal women). Therefore, our objectives were to assess the incidence of posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism and to identify risk factors for the development of hypothyroidism.
We performed a retrospective analysis of all cases involving patients who underwent a hemithyroidectomy under the care of 2 surgeons (F.R.M. and R.A.O.) from 1999 to 2004. Institutional review board approval was obtained for the project. A hemithyroidectomy was defined as a total thyroidectomy and isthmusectomy with preservation of the contralateral thyroid lobe. To be eligible for analysis, the patients had to meet the following criteria: (1) hemithyroidectomy under the supervision of the 2 attending surgeons; (2) euthyroid preoperative status as reflected in normal thyrotropin levels before surgery; (3) no previous radiation therapy to the cervical region; (4) no empirical use of thyroid hormone therapy after surgery; (5) age older than 18 years; and (6) assessment of thyroid function with a serum thyrotropin test at least 8 to 10 weeks after surgery. Serum thyrotropin levels were subsequently assessed every 3 to 4 months. The reference range for normal serum thyrotropin levels in our study was 0.4 to 6.0 mIU/L. Thyrotropin values higher than 6.0 mIU/L resulted in a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, and in most cases, the patients involved were started on a regimen of thyroid hormone therapy. A serum thyrotropin level greater than 6.0 mIU/L was selected to include the patients who would be clearly hypothyroid based on serologic test results and clinical symptoms.12 Also, an elevated thyrotropin level (>4-5 mIU/L) can indicate the early development of subclinical hypothyroidism and warrants careful follow-up.12
All patients who met the above eligibility criteria for entrance into the study were assessed for age, sex, surgical indications, preoperative and postoperative serum thyrotropin levels, weight (in grams) of resected thyroid tissue, final findings of histologic analysis of the hemithyroidectomy specimen, and length of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the diagnosis and survival times by sex until the thyrotropin level was greater than 6.0 mIU/L. Cox proportional hazards survival analysis was performed to assess age, sex, pathologic diagnosis, and preoperative thyrotropin levels on the time to failure (hypothyroidism or thyrotropin level >6.0 mIU/L). Groups were compared using an analysis of variance and percentage in each sex with χ2 contingency table analysis.
Ninety patients (73 women and 17 men; mean age, 45 years) met the eligibility criteria for entrance into the study. Thirty-seven patients were not eligible for analysis: 18 who underwent hemithyroidectomy with laryngectomy and postoperative radiation therapy, 8 who were hypothyroid or hyperthyroid before surgery, 5 who had inadequate follow-up data, and 6 who began empirical suppressive levothyroxine therapy 6 weeks after surgery. The final pathologic analysis of the 90 eligible cases revealed 49 follicular adenomas (54%), 17 cases of Hashimoto thyroiditis (19%), 10 multinodular goiters (11%), and 14 other pathologic diagnoses (16%). The "other pathologic diagnoses" category included 4 cases of papillary thyroid cancer (all <1 cm), 2 colloid cysts of the thyroid, 2 benign follicular cell neoplasms (benign), 2 intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas, 2 cases of subacute thyroiditis, 1 case of mycobacteria of the thyroid, and 1 sarcoid of the thyroid.
The overall incidence of the development of posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism was 27% (24 of 90 patients).
There were no significant differences in sex in terms of the risk for the development of postoperative hypothyroidism (22 [30%] of 73 women and 2 [12%] of 17 men) (Wilcoxon test, P = .12; χ2 = 2.4, P = .12). The preoperative thyrotropin level was significantly different among the patients who developed posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism compared with those who remained euthyroid during the postoperative period. The mean preoperative thyrotropin level was significantly higher in the patients who developed hypothyroidism (n = 24) than in the patients who remained euthyroid (n = 66) (mean ± SD, 3.15 mIU/L ± 1.14 vs 1.95 mIU/L ± 0.92; P<.001). When the groups were broken down based on pathologic category, the preoperative thyrotropin levels were significantly different among the patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (3.3 mIU/L), follicular adenoma (2.0 mIU/L), mulinodular goiter (1.9 mIU/L), and other pathologic diagnoses (2.1 mIU/L) (P<.003). The Cox proportional hazards survival analysis demonstrated a significant relationship of preoperative thyrotropin levels (P<.001) and age (P<.03) in the time to develop hypothyroidism. An increased preoperative thyrotropin level increased the hazard rate (3.06). The mean ± SD follow-up period for the study group was 12.4 ± 3.2 months (range, 3-24 months). As a group, the mean time to failure (thyrotropin, >6.0 mIU/L) was 6.6 months; more than 75% of the cases of hypothyroidism developed within the first 9 months. In patients with more than 12 months of follow-up, there were no cases of late hypothyroidism.
Over the last 4 decades, a number of studies have attempted to define the incidence of hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy.1- 10 The traditional approach had been to routinely place patients on a regimen of suppressive doses of levothyroxine after partial thyroid surgery, with the logic that this treatment would prevent the development of abnormalities in the contralateral thyroid lobe. Griffiths et al8 reported an 11% incidence of hypothyroidism in thyrotoxic patients undergoing hemithyroidectomy and an incidence of 6.5% in nonthyroxic patients. McHenry and Slusarczyk5 demonstrated an incidence of posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism of 35%. They also demonstrated that an elevated preoperative thyrotropin level was an independent risk factor for the development of hypothyroidism.
Our data are in agreement with previous reports in the literature, with a posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism incidence of 27% among the patients in our series.1,4- 6 When broken down by pathologic diagnosis, the subset of patients with the highest risk for the development of hypothyroidism were those with Hashimoto thyroiditis (59%) and those with multinodular goiter (50%). This is similar to the 49.3% incidence of hypothyroidism reported by Sugino et al11 in a series of patients who underwent hemithyroidectomy for Graves disease. It is clear from our data that patients with ongoing thyroiditis or multinodular thyroid disease are at an increased risk of developing hypothyroidism. In addition to the pathologic findings, an elevated preoperative thyrotropin level was associated with an increased risk for the postoperative development of hypothyrodism. This association may reflect the abnormal function of the entire thyroid gland and/or the presence of ongoing autoimmune thyroiditis. McHenry and Slusarczyk5 reported similar findings, with an elevated preoperative thyrotropin level found to be significantly related to the risk of postoperative hypothyroidism. A preoperative thyrotropin level in the upper-normal reference range (>3.0-3.5 mIU/L) should alert the surgeon to the elevated risk of hypothyroidism developing in the patient in the postoperative period. An elevated thyrotropin level will develop in the vast majority of patients who become hypothyroid (>75%) within the first 6 to 9 months after they undergo hemithyroidectomy. One limitation of this retrospective study is the inability to accurately define a time frame for the development of late hypothyroidism owing to the variability in obtaining the results of postoperative thyroid function studies. While the majority of the hypothyroidism developed in our patients in the first 6 to 9 months, it certainly is possible that a portion of the population will develop late hypothyroidism in the ensuing years. In our practice, many of these patients continue long-term follow-up with their primary care physician or endocrinologist; therefore, we may not have accurate data on late hypothyroidism beyond the first 24 months. Also, while we had no late failures (>12 months after surgery), we believe that this patient population requires ongoing assessment of thyroid function, because it seems logical that some percentage of the patients may develop hypothyroidism over the ensuing years.
From a practical standpoint, our study, along with our review of the literature, suggests that all patients who undergo hemithyroidectomy should be counseled regarding the potential need for lifelong thyroid hormone therapy. The overall incidence of hypothyroidism is in the range of 20% to 45%. Patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis, mulitnodular goiter, and an elevated preoperative thyrotropin level are at particular risk. Our current recommendation is to obtain a postoperative thyrotropin measurement 8 to 12 weeks after surgery, followed by the measurement of thyrotropin levels at 6 months and 12 months after surgery. If the thyrotropin level is normal at 12 months, we recommend biannual to annual determination of thyrotropin levels unless symptoms of hypothyroidism manifest.

Hi there, I am a patient being treated for: * Bipolar Disorder
This answer was rated:
Hi there,
I am a patient being treated for:
Disorder - No
substance abuse
Borderline Personality Disorder
(No suicidal issues)
* Severe Codependency (But I grew up in a good fam)
I've been in an extremely volatile and codependent relationship for 4 years.
The relationship that I am in, is with a girl named Sarah. I met Sarah through a friend (named Jan) and she frequented a neighborhood bar that was easy walking distance from our apartments. Sarah is very pretty, seemed the girl next door, and very likable. After meeting her twice she gave me her number. Sarah and I had small dates here and there. But I
notice she liked to drink.
Jan eventually warned me about Sarah and told me to stay away. I ignored this warning, thinking it was just those two not getting along. Sarah told me a story that Jan started an argument that she was jealous of Sarah over me. I found it odd as Jan and I never had that type of relationship. I shrugged it off.
XXXXX XXXXXved with her ex boyfriend (Bob). I remember she would want to avoid his car, but she would explain it away as, she didn't want to make him feel bad even though it was over. How stupid of me... and naive.
Eventually, they were evicted from that apartment complex because Bob lost his job. Bob had to move to Florida for a new job in the meantime, sending Sarah checks for rent and some money on the side. Sarah was waiting for disability because she had grand mal epileptic seizures which she contends gave her cognitive impairment.
I found it odd, and a bit wrong, that these seizures were untreated. Eventually, I had a neurologist look at it and he gave her topamax which controlled them.
I now was aware Sarah was possibly an alcoholic. But I was lonely. Somehow she lured me in. I don't believe Bob was an ex at all. I believe Sarah was taking Bob's rent money and spending it on alcohol. Which then led to another eviction.
At this time, my grandmother, who I was really close to was passing away with cancer. I was distraught.
Against my better instinct, I let Sarah move in rather than be on the street. My grandmother died and while I was at her funeral Sarah was moved in.
The codependent
erupted. I would say this is Codependent Cycle 1: Sarah's alcoholism was more extreme than I thought. She went to bars with old men, she hung out with two swingers, she even stayed the night at a cab drivers house because she was mad at me. That last one was the trigger for me to kick her out.
Segue: Bob returned from Florida, put her stuff in storage, and got her a hotel.
Somehow I missed her, thought about the good times, ignored the bad. She pleaded with me to take her back that things would be different. Our relationship was highly sexual- so of course that took place. And boom- she moved back in with me.
Codependency Cycle 2:
Things are fine for a month. Then back to the drinking. Only now it is wine. It is more expensive. She is still waiting for her disability so I am paying the bill. Her anger, belittling, and aggressiveness only got worse. Then she was hearing things. I'd wake up with her staring blankly at the TV. Then she blew up one night and hit/slapped me in the face. So I kicked her out again.
Segue: She moved to Austin (amazingly w Bob's help) with some "friends." She got on a state health plan that put her on Geodon, while she waited for disability. Again, Codependency symptoms hit hard, and I found out she was homeless. I put her in a hotel. Visited her. Then sure enough- I let her move back in.
Codependency Cycle 3: This time, things were fine again. We lived on a strip (I knew it was trouble) with a bunch of restaurants. This time, she was out meeting guys. Had guys numbers in her phones. At one point she tried to commit suicide with ambien. I called 911 and thankfully she lived. She finally got her disability and I told her to get her own place.
Segue: She gets her own apartment. But can't afford it. Like an idiot I help her.
Codependency Cycle 4: This time, I find more numbers in her phone. I can't take it anymore so I move. The goal... to get away from her. But I gave in ...
Codependency Cycle 5: We were supposed to go on vaca. She started building in hostility again. She tried to hit me with high heels over 20 dollars, so I canceled vaca. She later showed up at my apt and smashed a laptop I bought her among other things. And even threatened to grab a knife. Our mutual friend calmed her down and got her out of the apt. That's obviously psychotic.
Present: I'm sober about the situation. Writing this I can't believe how ridiculous this is, but how powerful codependency is. What is her problem? My OCD is pretty severe. I'm running out of room, but would you posit any link between OCD and Codependency? Now obviously it has to be over. But helping me understand how I fell into this trap would be insightful along with maybe who/what she is (psychiatric)

Hello, I'd like to help you with your question.
There is no link directly between OCD and co dependency. They are two completely different disorders that are also categorized differently (one is a first level disorder or predominant disorder and the other is based on personality disorders, which are second level). However, one can affect the other because each has it's own issues. For example, if you have OCD, any co dependency you feel in a situation could take on an extra sense of urgency because you feel the need to make the situation perfect. So you keep trying over and over even in the face of failure or disappointment (as with Sarah).
It is easy to understand why your relationship with Sarah has you feeling upset and confused as to why it keeps happening the way you described it. I believe that I can help you find some answers.
From your description, it sounds like Sarah might have several issues going on. For one, she does sound like an alcoholic. Her use of alcohol might be a way for her to manage some of her mental health symptoms. If she is unable to maintain steady housing and finds it hard to stay in one city or place for very long, the chances that she will seek treatment and be able to follow that treatment as needed is slim. So she may have one or several treatable mental health issues, but due to her instability, she is handling through alcohol rather than the medications and treatment she needs right now.
Another issue is her varied symptoms. If she is violent, self harming and showing signs of co dependency, it is very likely she has a personality disorder. Here is a link to a general description of personality disorders:
It sounds like Sarah might either be Borderline, Narcissistic or Co dependent. She can also be a combination of those disorders. If she does have a disorder, therapy is the best solution to help her. But any of these disorders would explain her behavior and her need for attention from other men, regardless of her current relationship status.
She might also be affected by her physical issues. If she is having seizures, it could be affecting her emotionally as well, especially if it is not consistently being treated with medication and under a doctor's care.
Lastly, Sarah may also have a major mental health disorder. Without seeing her for an evaluation it is hard to tell for sure, but she might have Major depression or another mood disorder. That would also explain her suicidal attempt and her inability to care for herself.
And while OCD and co dependency are not related disorders, the effects of both could make you feel drawn to the relationship with Sarah. OCD might trigger your desire to "fix" everything going on with Sarah. The co dependency would be the main issue, however. By nature, Co dependency is developed because of deep seated needs that a person does not get met as a child. For example, if you were not emotionally close to your mother, even if she was a good mother, you would always crave that closeness. As an adult you might seek relationships where you try to get the person to approve of you by doing things for them, so you feel loved. Or you might care for someone (like with Sarah) to maintain that connection, even if she treats you poorly. Giving up on the relationship would cause sadness and a sense of failure which might feel hard to deal with if you already struggle with co dependency and OCD. So you continue to keep trying.
I hope this has helped you,

I live in Canada and despise the Winter. This time of year it's freezing cold and there is way too much snow for my liking. We've even had a pretty mild winter this year, and I still can't stand it! I'm constantly looking for fun Winter activities for the kids though – I can only stay inside and try to hibernate for so long before the kiddos want to get out!! A couple weekends ago I decided to have some snow cone fun with the kiddos. We made our own snow cone syrup, gathered clean and fresh snow from outside and made our own snow cones. The kids LOVED this. Definitely a fun Winter activity that I highly recommend.
This is what you'll need:
To make your own snow cone syrup:
1 package of unsweetened kool-aid – any flavour
2 cups of granulated sugar
1 cup of water.
Heat the sugar and water together over medium heat in a saucepan until it boils. Boil the mixture until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear (a couple minutes). Stir in the kool-aid until completely dissolved and remove from heat. Set aside to cool completely. Place in a squirt bottle and refrigerate until needed.
* the snow cone syrup takes a while to make, so you may want to make it the day before so it's ready to go. The syrup has to be cold before you pour it on your snow cones or it will melt the snow (obviously) *
Grab some fresh and clean snow from outside and scoop it into small cups. Drizzle the syrup over the snow until well saturated. Serve with a spoon or straw.
So easy, so sugary and so much fun! The recipe made quite a bit of syrup and it stores beautifully in the fridge until next time you need it! Seeing as I still have at least 3 more months of Winter here, I think we'll be enjoying this treat often!
Of course you can enjoy this treat if you don't live anywhere with snow by just crushing some ice!

The book Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine was first published in 1990, as a companion to the BBC radio series of the same name. The theme of documentary was to feature animal species which were endangered or threatened with extinction.
The Observer Colour Magazine initiated moves in 1985 to send a zoologist, Mark Carwardine, and a writer, Douglas Adams, to Madagascar, to search for the aye-aye, a nearly extinct lemur. Later this developed into several journeys to find various species, including the Komodo dragon on the island of Komodo in Indonesia, gorillas and white rhinoceroses in Zaire, Kakapos in New Zealand, the Yangtze River Dolphin in China, Rodrigues fruit bats (megabat) on the island of Rodrigues, and various other species in these locations. Many of these excursions became the basis for the BBC Radio 4 series of the same name.
Many of the excursions were written into the companion book, though not all, allegedly due to Douglas' notorious writing...

Suspect in attempted homicide charged in another Erie assault
An Erie man facing trial in July on charges of shooting a man in December is now accused of beating a woman with a gun in November.
Kendall C. Foster, 41, remains in the Erie County Prison on $50,000 bond today after he was arraigned Friday by Erie 6th Ward District Judge Dominick DiPaolo on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, harassment, possessing instruments of crime and carrying a firearm without a license.
Police accuse Foster of hitting a woman in the head and face with a gun numerous times in the 200 block of West 10th Street on Nov. 5 at about 10:30 a.m., according to the criminal complaint filed by Erie police Detective Sgt. Dominic DiLullo.
Police said the woman identified Foster as her attacker from a photo of him that was shown by the news media in another criminal case involving Foster.
Foster, who is also known as Kendell C. Foster, faces trial in July on attempted homicide and other charges on allegations he shot a man in a Parade Street apartment on Dec. 20. Foster is being held in jail on $100,000 bond in that case.

Oh and please ddon't question fans love for the sport, most Floyd fans are much bigger fans than you are. As a matter of fact, I remember you saying that the only fighters you like are Manny and Khan and I think it was Darchinyan is kinda fun to watch. So your in no position to question anybodies support of the sport.
Manny is preventing the fight from happening a lot, there is nothing wrong with reassuring that no cheating is involved, Floyd is entitled and has rights to take extra precautions because he might not want to be cheated, all he has said is he wants to make sure that there is no foul play involved, period.
The random drug tests are good, because there has been speculation from many guys just lately saying they something fishy is going on (I have always backed Manny through the accusations, saying I don't think he is on steroids and I hope he isn't cause he is good for the sport if not) so Manny should take this opportunity to prove once and for all its a load of bull****, but he is refusing which makes it kinda seem like hes hiding something. Plus, tests like these, if used in this fight will be used in other fights too... which is great for the sport cause it will cut down on whatever drug users there may be in the sport, not saying Manny is on steroids, I am saying it would help decrease the chances of guys taking them whether Manny passed it or not because they will be used more. Sometimes things have to be used to get everyone else to use it regularly, it could be a very good thing for the sport.
I just wanna see the fight, I have been saying this for ages, with purse splits and all the other bull****, but Floyd has a valid case here, if he wants both fighters to take extra precautions to make sure everything is in order then he is entitled to that IMO, don't forget Floyd will be getting the exact same testing.
I am a Floyd fan and a Manny fan, granted Floyd is my favorite fighter everyone knows that, and I try to be as fair and unbiased as I can be with any situation, that's all I am doing now.

It's a ploy used by these desperate people for the sole purpose of causing speculation. Should the Pacman give Mayweather the "BEAT DOWN" of his life, they will cry "steroid use" as the basis of which Pacman's strength is derived from in order to have accomplished that. JAT

You meant to say Bob Arum is bad for boxing.
This steroid situation should have never left the negotiating room. Bob Arum made it public when he announced the fight was off because of drug testing(Manny's fear of needles superstitions etc), and he ended up hurting his own fighters image in the process. American media never associated pac with steroids before this incident.
Mayweather Jr has not said anything negative towards Pacquiao in the past 3 weeks. I charge you to find me one quote from Floyd Jr where he accuses Pac of cheating since the talks first began. Senior, yes, but Junior has been cooperating with negotiations quietly the whole time.
Arum is 92 years old and does not care about the future of this sport. His ego is his #1 priority right now and Pacquiao and the well-being of the sport come in a distant second.

DETROIT: The lineup for a club one day after clinching its division is often more-so built toward getting the starters a day of rest, either due to attrition for a long season or the celebration that took place the night before. The Indians' lineup on Tuesday certainly followed suit in that pseudo-tradition, and Mike Clevinger was roughed up early in a 12-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

Sesame and garlic turn the typical green bean into a side dish worthy of any meal.
This time of year it's easy to find an abundance of winter vegetables. You'll find bins of squashes, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and colorful cabbages at your local grocery store. But what about those spring and summer vegetables like green beans and fresh, sweet peas?
No problem! After reading this article in Eating Well magazine, I know that I can eat those out of season vegetables any time I want. I just need to shop the frozen aisles of my grocery store.
I won't be sacrificing a single nutrient because reputable companies freeze vegetables freshly picked, locking in those essential nutrients. Often, the fresh vegetables you find at the market have been shipped and kept in cold storage for several days. That doesn't sound fresh to me.
Just a few simple ingredients like garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and honey turn a simple bag of frozen green beans, into a sweet and savory side dish.
Looks fresh to me!
- 4 cups green beans, fresh or frozen, trimmed (if beans are frozen, all them to thaw before cooking)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ cup green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 inch piece ginger, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 tablespoons sesame seeds , toasted
- Preheat a stove top wok or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add oil, and when the oil is hot, add green beans.
- Stir fry the green beans for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and ginger.
- Stir fry for another 5 - 8 minutes until the beans are crisp-tender. Lower heat and add water or vegetable broth as needed if the beans begin to burn.
- Add the green onion, soy sauce and honey. Stir for another minute or two to spread sauce.
- Serve with sprinkled with the sesame seeds.

Pacquiao ok's 55-45 split
Pacquiao OKs 55-45 split
abs-cbnNEWS.com | 01/20/2009 7:16 PM
If its 55-45, then its a go.
Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao said this will be the revenue split he will accept for his scheduled May 2 superfight with British fighter Ricky Hatton.
Sa tingin ko, mag-aadjust naman sila, at sa tingin ko matutuloy ang laban. In-adjust naman nila yung 50-50 sharing (I think theyre willing to adjust and that the fight will push through. They were able to adjust the 50-50 sharing), said the heavy-hitting southpaw from General Santos City.
Kaunti na lang [ang kulang]... Payag na ko sa 55-45 (Just a little bit more...and Ill say yes to 55-45), Pacquiao added.
Pacquiao, considered as a national hero in the Philippines, said he is expecting a very good fight from Hatton.
Sigurado akong maganda ang laban na ito. Pareho kaming sugod-ng-sugod at malakas (Im sure this will be an exciting fight. We both like to charge and were both strong)," he said.
The Filipino boxer said he will begin working on his conditioning as early as February.
He added that they will likely set new strategies just like what he and his coach, Freddie Roach, did for his victorious Dream Match with Oscar de la Hoya.
Halos magkaparehas kasi kami ng istilo ni Hatton kaya maraming adjustment na gagawin... Tulad din yun ng laban namin ni de la Hoya na mahaba-haba ang training (My fighting style is similar to Hattons so we have to make some adjustments just like in our fight against de la Hoya, we will go into long training)," said Pacquiao.

Heineken UK is to rollout free Wi-Fi to 500 "beacon" Heineken stockist bars over the next 18 months.
It's part of a tie-in with BT and The Independent, which is expected to mean extra publicity for the bars through mentions in the newspaper. Heineken field sales staff will select venues they deem to be "beacon" Heineken stockists.
The Wi-Fi service is free to both venues and customers, who will be able to receive a special newsfeed from The Independent's digital offshoot i. And customers won't need to log in to the system to access the internet.
A special app will also be accessible to all smartphone, tablet and laptop users in participating venues.
A print and digital campaign is set to support the scheme. "The activity will drive readers of the paper to pubs and bars and boost awareness of the Heineken initiative," the brewer said.
The partnership will include month-ly competitions that the company hopes will encourage revisits to Heineken Hub outlets. Prizes will include new gadgets and technology.
Venues that take part will also receive extra training on the perfect serve and other help, including extra PoS.

1 AnswerConsider the pole to be a point object. Since it takes 10 seconds to cover a distance of 150m (length of train), speed = distance/time, so 150/10 = 15 m/s.

The McAllen Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is proud to announce that Dr. Blandina Cárdenas, president of The University of Texas-Pan American has been chosen as the Golden Eagle Award Recipient for 2009. Cárdenas will be honored at the annual Noche de Gala scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 24 at the Corinthian Banquet Center in Mission, Texas.
Cárdenas became the fist woman to lead UTPA in 2004. Since then she has been responsible for a number of initiatives that have distinguished UTPA in the state for promoting student success and access. Today she is guiding the institution to a new and vibrant era in research in fields such as economics, border life, medicine and engineering.
"For her unselfish contributions to the community and education, the MHCC Board of Directors would like to honor Dr. Cárdenas at this coming year's Noche de Gala with the distinguished Golden Eagle Award," said Cynthia M. Sakulenzki, MHCC president/CEO. "We encourage the community to come and join us at this formal and fun event with dinner, dancing, live and silent auction and a Las Vegas Style Casino."
This educator and civil rights advocate began her career as a teacher of migrant pre-school children in her native Del Rio, Texas in 1968. Within nine years she had designed an extensive array of programs that became national models. Her leadership engaged the National Education Association, Children's Television Workshop, the U.S. Department of Justice and local, state and national efforts to advance voting rights, child and family development and educational equity and excellence.
She completed a doctorate in educational leadership at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and in 1977 accepted a presidential appointment as commissioner for Children, Youth and Families in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare where she headed the nations' Head Start, Child Care, Child Welfare programs and the National Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. In 1980 she was appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights where she served for 13 years.
She also served as the U.S. representative on the governing body of the Inter-American Children's Institute of the Organization of American States, the Early Childhood Committee of the Organization for Economic and Cultural Development in Paris and at the International Organization for Families at UNESCO, as a delegate to the United Nations World Conference on Women, and on the first U.S. Delegation of Educational Researchers to the People's Republic of China. Her extensive work with Mexican universities and organizations earned her induction into the Orden del Aguila Azteca, the highest honor bestowed by the government of Mexico on a noncitizen.
For more than 30 years Cárdenas has been a strong, clear and creative voice for expanded educational opportunity. She has won countless state and national awards for her ongoing efforts and leadership to increase the participation and success of underrepresented groups in higher education.
