Midland Adventist Academy's Class of 2012 from Shawnee, Kansas visited the Second Harvest warehouse in Watsonville on May 19th. They packed 2,880 USDA commodity bags, which equals 28,800 pounds. Their hard work will help us provide 22,500 meals to people in need.
"Each year our school plans a senior class trip," explained Jason Donovan of Midland Adventist Academy. "The students work hard from grade nine through grade twelve to raise funds to have one last hoorah as a class and to celebrate the ending of their high school years. During their trip, they were challenged to give to the community of their destination. We chose to help the food bank and had a great time.
"We are a Seventh-day Adventist Christian school and part of our program is service: giving of personal time and energy to the community. This is a habit we desire our students to possess as a life-long habit. Thanks for providing us with the opportunity to help in your community."
Congratulations to all of the graduates and thank you for making Second Harvest and our community a part of your celebration!

UARS PEM Level 2 VMAG AC V001 (UARPE2VMAGAC) at GES DISCEntry ID: GES_DISC_UARPE2VMAGAC_V001
Abstract: The Particle Environment Monitor (PEM) level 2 Vector Magnetometer (VMAG) AC daily product contains the Vector Magnetic Field AC component. PEM was flown on the UARS spacecraft to measure the type, amount, energy, and distribution of charged particles injected into the Earth's thermosphere, mesosphere, and stratosphere.
The VMAG DC magnetic field measurements are limited to frequencies less than ... 2.5 Hz by an 18 db/octave antialiasing filter. Higher frequencies are measured with a peak detector and are the Vector Magnetic Field AC component. The AC value is derived from each vector field component where the sensor output is pass band filtered from 2.5 to 50 Hz. The resultant signal is then half wave rectified and passed to an RC circuit with a time constant of 4.7 s. The voltage across the RC circuit is the peak detector output which therefore represents the peak positive amplitude of the 2.5-50 Hz filtered sensor output occurring during the previous 5 seconds; however, the peak detector is determined at a rate of about every second (the VMAG AC data has been adjusted for this time offset). The X and Z peak detectors have full scale of 1oo nT peak to peak (= 5 Volts) and the Y peak detector has a full scale of 10 nT peak to peak (= 5 Volts). The analog 0 to 5 Volts peak detector outputs are sent directly to the PEM central electronics package where they are digitized into a 265 binary word. This is the raw value in the data. No in-flight calibration of the AC peak detection electronics is provided. The VMAG unit is located on the zenith boom of UARS.
There is one data file per day for the PEM VMAG AC product, and the temporal coverage is from Oct. 1, 1991 to Aug. 23, 2005. Spatial coverage for the VMAG AC product ranges between -57 and +57 deg latitude. The VMAG AC data files are written in network binary format. For more information please review the PEM VMAG AC data format guide.

I hope they try and the FBS gets brought down in a massive antitrust lawsuit.
Would never happen. With 64 teams plenty are included and they can just build in some near impossible way for outside teams to make the playoffs to appease that issue. Like this top 16 and ranked higher than an AQ conference champ rule the BCS has that almost never matters.
With the playoff teams being selected by a committee, the non-majors will never make it in anyway. They'll just be eligible for the "access bowls" as they're calling the major bowls taht aren't part of the playoffs in a given year.

Sales of luxury cars are growing faster than the overall market here in the U.S. -- and they're positively booming in places like China. Several automakers have already announced big investments in their luxury-car lineups, and now Nissan (NASDAQOTH: NSANY ) says it will spruce up its Infiniti brand to join them.
In this video, Fool.com contributor John Rosevear looks at the state (and importance) of the global luxury-car wars, and at whether Nissan's ambitious plans are likely to turn into big profits.

4 Ways Rock Stars and Teen Pop Stars Are Exactly the Same
#2. "They Aren't Even Saying Anything in Their Lyrics!"
Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The lyrics to your typical pop song get lambasted from all four corners of the Earth for being vapid and useless. Just another love song about a girl, or a boy, or maybe a rat, because that's just what we need. Have we truly run out of things to say? What happened to the true musical poets, the guys who could craft meaningful words that make you think while you're rocking out?
Mauricio Duenas / AFP / Getty
"Y'know, things that start with earthquakes really ARE great. Life makes sense now!"
Well, guess what? Those barely exist. For every Public Enemy or Rage Against the Machine, there's a guy like Beck, who's supposedly surreal lyrics are often nothing more than pure gibberish, done on the first take. "Slab of turkey neck, and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing" is not some Riddler-esque enigma; it's Beck vomiting words into the microphone and calling it a day.
Also, for every epic Bob Dylan song, there are 10 more bullshit Bob Dylan songs. "Blowin' in the Wind" may have defined a generation, but the second he starts getting vague on your ass, you can bet he's blowin' smoke up it.
Douglas R. Gilbert / Redferns / Getty
Either that or just plain blowing smoke.
Usually, what you think is an incredibly obscure reference is just a bit of word salad, or an exercise in alliteration, or simply something made up because, to him, art is only true art when it's utterly meaningless. Sounds like pretty much everybody on Radio Disney, right?
Speaking of that, the Beatles pretty much overdosed on useless lyrics, even after abandoning their cutesy suits and mop tops (which, as long as we're talking fakeness, they were forced into wearing by their manager). "I Am the Walrus," "Glass Onion," "Strawberry Fields," and the like were nothing more than pure boloney, written to troll people who thought their other songs had actual meaning beyond "Yesterday, all my bills seemed so hard to pay / Now the debt collector's gone away / Oh, being rich is A-OK."
Ablestock.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Tell Weird Al he can finish my song. For a price.
It's not a new problem. Justin Bieber singing "My first time broke my heart for the first time and I was like 'Baby'" is not any more egregious or less shallow than Paul McCartney singing "She was just 17 / You know what I mean."
#1. "And They Don't Even Write Their Own Shitty Music!"
Michael Ochs Archives / Stringer / Getty
Some people don't write their own stuff, even lyrics. And few aspects of teeny-tweeny pop spin anger wheels faster than that. After all, what kind of useless phony simply recites shit written by somebody else?
Well played, Google. Well played.
Ever since Buddy Holly popularized the idea, fans of "real" music have demanded that pop singers write their own stuff to show us that they truly care about their art. If they don't, they're damned for ruining music forever, or at least until someone else comes along and ruins music forever.
But in a lot of cases, the Selena Gomezes (Gomez's? Gollums?) of the world actually write more than your favorite rock gods, many of whom contribute precisely dick to the creative process. Got examples if you want 'em!
Alice in Chains' original singer, Layne Staley, was lauded for his pained, soulful talk of drug addiction and demon battling. Problem is, he was too busy battling said demons to write the tales he told. His guitarist, Jerry Cantrell, did that for him, while writing most of the music as well. Staley wrote a bit more later on, but still not nearly as much as Cantrell. Thus, when it came time to reboot the band with a new singer, they simply had Cantrell write everything again, and the band barely missed a beat.

"We didn't actually hire him; we hired his sweet-ass 'fro, and the body came along for the ride."
How about the original rocker, Elvis? Yes, I poked at him earlier, but it turns out I wasn't done. The King wasn't much of a songwriter. In fact, the future King of England, the one born just a little while ago, is almost as much a writer as Elvis.
He's probably just as much a pants-shitter, too.
Elvis wrote one song, a forgettable ditty called "You'll Be Gone." Any other songwriting credit was, as the man himself put it, "a big hoax." He'd think of a line or two, and sometimes just a title, like the time he told a friend a dream left him "all shook up." Elvis got credit for "writing" that. Why can't my life be that easy? Instead of banging out 2,500 words to make my point, maybe I'll just submit a title, collect my check, and then go date 25 girls at a time. OK, 20. I won't be greedy.
And then we have Ozzy. The Prince of Darkness, throughout his legendary 40-plus-year career, has written anywhere from squat to less than squat, depending on the year. The other guys in Sabbath handled the brunt of the writing duties while Ozzy went off and did his drugs. Post-Sabbath, a bassist named Bob Daisley became the reason Ozzy has a solo career at all, since he wrote, oh, everything. Turns out Ozzy is greatly influenced by Elvis: suggest a title or a vague concept here, maybe a line or two there, let someone else do the rest, sing the song, get paid, do more drugs.

"It was my idea to wear shit-tons of guyliner, so that's something, right?"
Finally, there's the mighty AC/DC, purveyors of all things rock. Grab a beer, blast some "Hell's Bells," and you've got yourself a party. A big FAKE party, that is. The guy screeching out those lyrics? He doesn't do a damned thing except screech them out. Brian Johnson hasn't written one stinking song since 1990, because he "ran out of words." Apparently, four or five albums of "I like beer and I like girls and VYAAAAAGHAAGHAAGHAAGHAAGHAAGHAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" was all his brain could handle.
Classic Rock Magazine / Future / Getty
"I tried EEEEYAHAHAHAHAWOOOORRRRGHHHH once, but it just didn't feel right."
Angus Young and his brother, Not-Angus, write all the band's music and lyrics now. So if you're only into AC/DC for the rocking riffs and solos, then fine. But if you wave devil horns at the funny little man with the old man hat, or at just about anybody I've picked on in this article, you're endorsing a man with less creativity and authenticity than whoever finished sixth on last year's American Idol. You know the guy. Or girl. Either or.
Jason Iannone can be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Follow him on all three and he'll send you a fabulous prize! Unless he forgets. Which he probably will.

Judge Simon Cowell called Tucker's rendition "painful" and the song "too big" for her voice.
"That's okay," Tucker said Wednesday, after show host Ryan Seacrest delivered the painful news. "This has been the experience of a lifetime, and I wouldn't change it for anything."
Perhaps the evening's biggest shock was Los Angeles native Katharine McPhee's second-to-last finish. McPhee, 21, has been tagged as a potential winner and the judges had described her Tuesday-night performance as one of the evening's best.
Host Ryan Seacrest even asked the judges why Tucker and McPhee were in the bottom two, adding, "especially Katharine." On whether the comment hurt her feelings, Tucker told PEOPLE on Thursday, "Not at all. It was her first time in the bottom, so I wasn't surprised at all."
Coming in with the third-fewest votes was Ace Young, 25, of Denver. The final Idol will be crowned May 24.
In other news of the program, judge Paula Abdul has signed on for another three years, FOX announced Wednesday.
The contestants "truly inspire and amaze me each week," Abdul said in a statement. "Of course, I also look forward to putting Simon in his place for years to come."

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by JCrew123 Cute, but has some issues When I saw this shirt online I knew I had to have it. I ended up buying the white and the green one. The shirts are cute, but if you have a larger bust I wouldn't recommend this shirt. Also, if wrinkles bother you I would not buy this shirt. You have to iron it and within 2 minutes of wearing it the shirt is completely wrinkled again. This shirt is true to size. Overall, a good purchase I just wish it didn't wrinkle so easily. August 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYCJCREWGIRL So cute! It's difficult to find a nice white top that is not too sheer and this top is perfect! It's so cute I wish it came in black too! July 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Risha123 Perfection This top looks lovely. I am size small with broad shoulders. Quality is superb. Please make more of this tops in different colors. I am already dreaming about a top in pink or blush. August 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Musselae PERFECT! even better in person - goes with everything! True to size and just darling. August 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by SusFerrell So Cute I Got Both Colors! I instantly fell in love with the ruffles and adore the lower cut of the back ~ this top is super feminine and ridiculously cute. So much so I bought the white and green. The emerald color in the photo does not do it justice ~ it's a gorgeous, vibrant kelly green in person. I'm 5'6", 123 lbs and bought both in my usual size 2. The fit is spot on! August 17, 2016

21 cm neutral hydrogen (HI) line observations of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant made with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory's (DRAO) Synthesis Telescope and the 26 m Telescope are analyzed in this work. A large coherent ring structure is found extending from the southeast rim into the center of the Cygnus Loop. A second large structure is found which wraps around the southern and western limb of the southern extension of the Cygnus Loop. Both structures are also identified in the IRAS all-sky survey maps of the region. HI and dust column densities were found as a function of position using the DRAO HI data and IRAS data. The velocity structure of the HI is compared to simple models for the origin of the HI structures such as pre-supernova stellar wind shells and collisions of pre-supernova stellar wind shells.

British Prime Minister David Cameron provoked a furious backlash by Conservative Eurosceptics after he beat a retreat over his opposition to the agreement to enforce budgetary discipline in the eurozone.
Tory MPs who hailed him as a hero last month when he vetoed a European Union-wide treaty to save the euro turned their fire on the Prime Minister after he watered down his objections to the "fiscal compact". His critics claimed the gains he made last month had now been lost.
At the time, Cameron insisted that other EU nations could not use bodies such as the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to enforce fines on euro members who breach deficit limits. He feared this could harm British industry by eroding the single market.
But at another EU summit in Brussels yesterday, Cameron nodded through the agreement - although Britain will remain outside it. The Czech Republic also refused to sign up, leaving the UK in a minority of two in the 27-nation bloc.
Another threat to the 25-strong agreement emerged when Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, said his country was unlikely to ratify it before the presidential elections this northern spring.
Denying a climbdown, Cameron said after the meeting: "We don't want to hold up the eurozone doing whatever is necessary to solve the crisis as long as it doesn't damage our national interests."
He insisted that the agreement among the 25 would not undermine the single market. The Prime Minister said: "There are a number of legal concerns about this treaty. That's why I reserved the UK position on it. We will only take action if our national interests are threatened."
However, there is little prospect that the UK will take legal action - not least because the case would be heard by the ECJ itself, which normally rules in favour of European integration.
Philip Davies, a Eurosceptic, warned the new stance would make the Prime Minister look more like John Major than Margaret Thatcher. "We saw in the opinion polls how popular he was in December. He would be equally unpopular if the British public thought he was going to backslide from that position," he said.
Douglas Carswell, another Tory Europhobe, said: "I don't see how the veto is really a veto if we allow the fiscal union to form, and then find ourselves subject to the EU institutions being used to govern that. "We will find that for all the talk of a veto, we find ourselves hauled into this process."
The treaty is designed to stop overspending in the eurozone and put an end to the bloc's crippling debt crisis. EU leaders also pledged to stimulate growth and employment.
The fiscal compact includes strict debt brakes and makes it more difficult for deficit sinners to escape sanctions. The 17 countries in the eurozone hope the tighter rules will restore confidence in their joint currency and convince investors that all of them will get their debts under control.
Although the new rules only apply to the 17 euro states, the currency union wants to get broad support from the other EU states, in hopes the accord will eventually be integrated into the main EU treaty.
Leaders at the summit also promised to stimulate growth and create jobs across the region, an acknowledgment that their exclusive focus on austerity has had painful side effects.
The leaders pledged to offer more training for young people to ease their transition into the work force, to deploy unused development funds to create jobs, to reduce barriers to doing business across the EU and ensure that small businesses have access to credit.

Mitsubishi visualises in-car office
Mitsubishi recently showed the OMNI concept - a vehicle which quickly transforms into a mobile office at the CEATEC Expo. The OMNI Car steering wheel flips over to reveal a keyboard and the dashboard monitor that is used for the Global Positioning System (GPS) when the car is being driven, doubles as a computer monitor so the driver can check e-mail or search the Web.
A large monitor screen also pops up in the back seats, where occupants can watch movies or other content downloaded from the internet. The concept surrounds being able to quickly transform the Omni's usefulness as a vehicle into a number of other functions such as a mobile office, or a private theatre.
The OMNI Car is still in the trial phase, but some of the functions on display are close to commercialisation according to Mitsubishi.
Pioneer's booth at CEATEC featured the Air Navi car navigation system, developed in collaboration with KDDI and ready for a commercial launch in Japan in November this year. This system comes with a built-in telecommunications module, and uses KDDI's third generation (3G) high-speed data communications service that let users download information such as up-to-date road maps. City maps, games, music and other contents with large amounts of data will be available for downloading to SD memory cards at locations such as convenience stores. User need only install these contents into their Air Navi systems for instant access. Drivers who experience car trouble will be able to describe their situation and send their exact location to service stations, and a variety of security functions will also be provided. This kind of service takes the concept of the car navigation system to a new dimension.

- - Lib Tech T.Rice 157 / 161.5 for deep powder? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/81074-lib-tech-t-rice-157-161-a.html)
Lib Tech T.Rice 157 / 161.5 for deep powder?
After reading countless posts, I have more or less decided on a lib tech T.Rice as my next all mountain board (not powder quiver). Ideally, I would have preferred the 157, easier to navigate trees and spins. But my recent weight gain (muscle hopefully) to 175 lbs and terrain (deep hokkaido powder + long gentle sections) is making me reconsider.
I have rougly 300+ days on the mountain so far and even on deep powder days, I can sort of hack it on my Highlife 155. However, it gets tiring really fast and I am looking for an easier ride. If I choose the T.Rice 157, would the +2 cm & C-R-C profile make enough difference? Or is the 161.5 my only choice?
All opinions are welcome. Thanks
I would really recommend something more playful and/or pow specific.
PS: What year Highlife do you have? I presume older than the 2011-12 version, i.e., before it became hybrid camber.
Mine is the 11-12 version, with a micro camber underneath.
I was looking for a C-R-C all mountain board with the following characteristics in order of preference
1. Able to float in deep powder
2. Stiff enough to handle crude
3. Twin
It seems more difficult to find a never summer board in japan. Ordering online is possible but I wasn't sure the difference between lib-tech c2btx and never summer RC is worth the effort.
With that, I was left with T.Rice. My Highlife 155 is pretty stiff but it is still possible to butter and spin. It's only nemesis is deep powder.
Also note that for deep powder, none of these (with the exception of the Magic) will float much better than the Highlife - for that you really need to go directional with a pow profile (ideally tapered and maybe with a swallowtail) or full rocker (in fact, if you are keeping the Highlife as a charger, something like the Skate Banana would be pretty good deck for 90% of the riding in Japan).
I used to have a skate banana 156 which was awesome in Niseko pow. On everything else, it was a bit sketchy. Made me realize that a stiffer board is more suitable for my style of riding, sold the banana and got the highlife.
Anyway, this might be a gross simplification but I was comparing in my mind how much of a powder bonus each side profile gives. According to my weight, a camber 161 should be a decent powder board ...
1. Full rocker = +5 cm (skate banana 156 = camber 161)
2. C-R-C = +3 cm (t.rice 157 = camber 160)
3. R-C-R = +2 cm (highlife 155 = camber 157)
I am guessing that the C-R-C profile is slightly better that the R-C-R profile in powder. Not sure about this though, would appreciate if anybody can enlighten me on this.
I did look at the Proto but I find it a bit too flexi. Is the heritage the stiff version of the Proto?
Heritage is not a true twin and, like the the T. Rice, much too stiff and plankish for Hokkaido riding.
The t.rice wants to stick to big, long turns wherever possible. I'm 160 lb and ride the 157 as my deep pow stick in the PNW, and find that it floats well enough in even the wettest, stickiest shitpow that I don't ever have fatigue issues. It's also fast enough in the deep to beat all the low angle runouts we've got here without issue.
On the other hand, it's not really that great in tight trees. The more small, fast turns you have to make, the less happy the trice gets. On low angle pow tree days I definitely prefer going down to the more playful banana magic.

Paulina Porizkova: A Model Traveler
Travel Interviews: Supermodel Paulina Porizkova has written a novel and contributed a story to "Travelers' Tales Prague and the Czech Republic." David Farley sits down with the model-turned-author to talk travel and the writing life.
Paulina Porizkova is no ordinary globe-trotting supermodel. The Czech-born model has not only graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue twice, but she's known for her sharp wit. Now, at 41, she has turned to writing for her second career. Porizkova recently penned a memorable piece about her visits to the country of her birth for Travelers' Tales Prague and the Czech Republic: True Stories (I co-edited the book). And her first novel, A Model Summer, will be published this spring by Hyperion. She has plenty of compelling material for a writing career: After her parents fled to Sweden when she was a child, a highly publicized international custody case between then-Communist Czechoslovakia and Sweden ensued; eventually, 9-year-old Paulina was re-united with her family, after being given an unceremonious boot across the Iron Curtain to Sweden with the condition that she could never return to her native land. These days, she lives in New York City with her husband, musician Ric Ocasek, and their two children. That's where I sat down with her to chat.
World Hum: How did your childhood in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War shape your travel sensibilities?
Paulina Porizkova: I think I was too much of a child for it to really affect me. The first trip I ever wanted to take—and still haven't done to this day and I know I never will—was to go see Lenin in Red Square.
Do you remember much about crossing the Iron Curtain?
[Laughing] Did you not read the story I wrote for your book?! I do remember holding my mom's hand and waving goodbye down a long straight road, mine fields on both sides of us, and my dad waiting on the Austrian side of the border.
As a supermodel, you've really traversed the planet. What are some of the more memorable places you visited?
I'll never forget filming a television commercial in Thailand at the bridge over the River Kwai. That's what's interesting about being a model: You end up going places you'd never think you'd go. We were in the middle of the jungle with huge tarantulas jumping out at us. There were these women set up at the edge of the jungle who were making soup and, as they were chopping up vegetables to put in the pot, they weren't really too concerned about the flies that were getting into the mix. And the soup was actually quite good—flies and all.
Let's talk about something less unsavory—like writing. You're actually one of the most well-read people I know. Who are your favorite writers?
Thanks. Do they have to be travel writers? If so, I'd only have to say you because you're the only travel writer I know—and I don't want to do that because you don't even remember my story for Travelers' Tales Prague and the Czech Republic that you edited. But really, just off the top of my head, I have favorite classic writers—Jane Austen, Tolstoy, Balzac—and I have favorite contemporary writers—John Updike, Ian McEwan and Mark Helprin, among others.
It really comes down to books, and not authors. A lot of authors I like have books I love and books that I think are just okay. For example, I've never liked Hemingway, but I think "A Moveable Feast" is great.
Oh, so you have read some travel literature?
That's a travel book? You're right. Come to think of it, I also just read a hilarious book about a guy who moves to some island in the Equatorial Pacific with his wife.
'The Sex Lives of Cannibals' by J. Maarten Troost.
Yes! I also remember that I read "Paris to the Moon," which was well-written but I hated Adam Gopnik's attitude. He seemed so entitled as an American. He wasn't really trying to fit in. I always have a problem with American writers writing about France or Italy, for example, when they view everything through American eyes. The garbage people are on strike again!
I see your point, but perhaps if a writer completely divorces herself or himself of that attitude and loses that outsider's perspective, the place ceases to seem exotic and is no longer as interesting to write about.
That's true. As much as I love America, it's so insulated. When you read a European writer who's writing about a place, the tone has a completely different feel to it.
So, Americans: bad travelers or the worst travelers?
Americans are not aware that they should try to adapt. They're like bricks: They're square and they're proud of it. But I have to say, they're not the worst travelers. I'd have to give that award to travelers from the former East Germany. They hardly got to go anywhere in the first place, and so when they went to the other Eastern European countries around them, for the first times in their lives they had more money than anyone else. And this made them the most obnoxious jerks in the universe.
What inspired you to start writing?
I always knew I would. In addition to having been a storyteller—I was the one around the campfire who always had a ghost story—I used to write a lot in school; when I had to do a three-page writing assignment, I'd write 13 pages. I'd end up getting an "A" because I don't think the teacher could bother reading it all.
It seems that we have a hard time letting someone who's well known at one thing do something completely different. Since so many people associate you with modeling, are you concerned that your novel is not going to be received so well? I don't think any supermodels have undertaken writing literary fiction before.
I can't say I'm worried about it because it's a fact of life. I already experienced it in acting in the way people in the movie business regarded me. The writer Jennifer Egan used to be a model, but I suppose she wasn't very well known until she became a writer. As for well-known models who ended up writing, I might be the first who actually did the writing in her own book. [Laughs] I know my novel is going to get bashed because once you're associated with one particular thing, they don't want to see you doing something else.
Your novel—which takes place in Paris and Italy, among other places—allowed you to write in the same way a travel writer might. What was the most challenging aspect of trying to capture a sense of place?
Writing about Paris was easy because I lived there for three years. One of the things that really puts you in a place more than the tourist is when you start learning background stuff like children's songs and TV shows that everyone watched when they were young. If you don't know that stuff, you're not quite assimilated. So, given that I'd already done all that when I moved to Sweden, I just took it for granted that I'd have to do the same thing when I moved to Paris when I was 15. Basically, I started from a child's point of view and worked my way up and I really learned a lot that way. I really hate feeling like a tourist. So when I was writing about Paris, the feeling of it was still very much in my head—I just had to confer with a lot of guidebooks to refresh my memory on the way certain places and landmarks looked. Also, I go back to France a lot, so that helped too.
Has there been any Paulina Porizkova tourism in your hometown, Prostejov? You know, Paulina pilgrims or anything like that?
[Laughs] I doubt that very much! They did give me a key to the city once, which was nice, and also kind of hysterical. They haven't erected a statue of me yet.
At least not yet. Thanks very much.

Hey David,
Sounds like you were daydreaming about her other attributes when you were supposed to be editing her story, eh? Tough interview gig there, but somebody's got to do it.
Elle 01.09.07 | 9:06 PM ET
As a woman and a traveler I find her quite annoying and will not buy her book.
She was one of my favorite models growing up and I thought she was especially cool to marry Ric Ocasek.
But after reading this I find her rather arrogant and self-absorbed and irritating.
I like the interviewer, however, and will check out his works.
Julian 01.10.07 | 10:03 AM ET
Looks like truth hurts some people!
It is very true that american travelers are annoying and cannot adapt.
Lets not forget that tourist are usually compared to being a pest. and its true!
Great article!
Michael Shapiro 01.11.07 | 11:08 PM ET
Hey David - nice gig and I enjoyed her honest appraisals of American and German tourists. Hard to believe such a beautiful and intelligent woman married Ric Ocasek, whose moronic music is thankfully now relegated to stations that play classic crap.
farley 01.12.07 | 12:14 PM ET
Thanks for the comments everyone, as harsh as some of them were. I never thought I'd have to defend Ric Ocasek, but here goes: I don't think it's hard to believe at all the Paulina married Ric. In addition to being a very cool guy, he has made soem great music. Go back and listen to classic Cars stuff. Besides, he's produced some pretty awesome bands since his Cars days: Le Tigre, Weezer, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, and Hole, among others. That doesn't sound very moronic to me.
Tim L. 01.12.07 | 3:01 PM ET
Plus Romeo Void and the Tom-Tom Club.
Wendy 05.15.07 | 2:54 AM ET
I enjoyed Paulina's answers. It's always great to read the words of people who are well read…In addition, I appreciated hearing how we Americans are regarded when traveling and why that might be so. I will keep it in mind next time I travel to "another's" country.
judy casanola 11.10.07 | 5:18 AM ET
Paulina is very realistic, honest, beautiful individual. It hurts when we hear something negative about the american people. but she is very right
the truth always hurts! I am amazed that on top of her beauty she has a brain which most models dont have. There will never be another girl like you Paulina You are one of a kind. I can't wait to read your book it sounds very intersting and I think it will help many young women these days
to think twice before they get into the modeling industry. Love Judy CASANOLA
Jolene Blalock 02.18.08 | 11:02 PM ET
She's such a hottie.
Paul Maxted 03.07.08 | 7:24 AM ET
She seems like a charming and wonderful person to know. You don't have to agree with everything somebody says to enjoy them as a person. I find her views interesting and the tourist things could be said of any nationality if you've met the wrong ones.
coolest guy on the planet 07.14.08 | 12:39 PM ET
She is very beautiful. The Czech tradition of beautiful girls has done it again.

Show #3826
Brian Williams and Pegi Young & The Survivors.
PLUS: The Sequester, a Guy Doesn't Get the Joke; a CBS NCAA Promo; Are You a Cop; a Top Ten list; and Dave Talks to Teens.
" . . . and now, the first sign of Spring . . . . . . David Letterman!"
- "President Obama named 5 new national monuments. 3 Parks, a forest, and Kim Kardashian's ass. How many have been there?"
- "The White House seder is an annual tradition. Yesterday, the President pardoned a brisket. What?"
Enjoying the sequester? Seems like the only ones hurting so far are the kids who want to go on the White House tour. They are paying for our debt now and they'll be paying again when the debt comes due. Many air traffic control towers are also being shut down due to lack of funds. Airports are already making adjustments. We take a look.
How are the airports adjusting to the elimination of air traffic control towers? They are hiring actors to dress as police officers to direct pretend-plane traffic while standing on a ladder. Well, at least someone is benefiting from the sequester.
DAVE: "On Sunday, Pope Francis celebrated his second mass as the new head of the Catholic church. Then he went out for a nice brunch with his wife, Peggy." We hear an interruption in the audience.
GUY: "Whoa! Whoa! Wait a second! Hold on. Hey! Whoa! Excuse me!"
DAVE: "What? Did somebody . . . yes? What? What did you say?"
GUY: "What did you say?"
DAVE: (Dave repeats the joke) "I said that the pope celebrated his second mass on Sunday, and then he went to brunch with his wife, Peggy."
GUY: "Alright, smart guy . . . . the pope doesn't have a wife named Peggy."
DAVE:"Yes, I know that."
GUY: "But the pope's wife is not named Peggy . . . . He doesn't have a wife."
DAVE: "Yes, I know that. You're right."
GUY: "Then why the hell did you say it?"
DAVE: "It was just a joke."
GUY: "Oh . . . I see . . .
DAVE: "It was just a joke."
GUY: "Uh huh . . . . .I didn't get it . . ." Slowly sitting back down.
DAVE: "A joke."
GUY: "It just sounded like nonsense . . . ."
Well, at least he got that last part right.
The NCAA March Madness Tournament is down to the Sweet 16. Dave saw this CBS promo for the upcoming games.
ANNOUNCE: "It's March Madness here on CBS as we're down to the final 16 teams. Wichita States plays LaSalle, Arizona takes on Ohio State, Marquette battles Miami and Indiana faces Syracuse. Then Duke against Michigan State, Louisville plays Oregon, Kansas battle Michigan and Florida takes on tournament Cinderella Florida Gulf Coast University. Then LaSalle faces Ohio State as Indiana takes on Miami. Duke plays Louisville and Kansas goes up against Florida for a trip to the Final Four. Then Louisville battles Ohio State and Kansas plays Indiana. And finally, Louisville defeats Indiana to win the national championship. The NCAA on CBS!"
The least they could have done was preface the promo with "Spoiler Alert!"
Not sure how or why went off on this tangent but he recalls watching a Julia Child cooking show. Dave does an impression Julia Child introducing a guest:
Julia: "Stopping by to prepare his famous dessert, Chocolate Dooglass, is chef Dooglass Dooglass, from his restaurant, 'Dooglass.'" Dave doesn't understand why someone would name their child the same name as their last name. If your last name is "Douglas," then don't name your child "Douglas."
At this point I said to myself, "Oh, damn. I wish our first guest's first name was Bill.
A uniformed police officer enters.
COP: "Excuse me, are you Dave Letterman?"
DAVE: "Uh, yes, I am."
COP: "You're in big trouble."
DAVE: "Oh, no I'm not. I'm not in big trouble, and you're not a cop, are you?"
COP: " . . . . no, I'm not."
DAVE: "Right. You're a stripper, aren't you!"
COP: "Yes."
DAVE: "Get out. Leave."
Cop exits.
Should I be offended? I'm often cast as a cop on the show. Not for this bit. Why? Is it because I wouldn't have been believable as a stripper? How do you think that makes me feel?
TOP TEN: SIGNS YOUR PILOT IS A FAKE - A passenger aboard a US Airways 747 in West Palm Beach was found sitting in the cockpit claiming to be the pilot.
10. His wrinkled Pan Am uniform.
7. He's also in the Skymall magazine modeling hats.
6. Refers to every control in the cockpit as a 'doo-hickey.'
Why is it that I find a news guy to be our funniest guest? Dave is curious about the goings on at the old place, NBC. Seems like the "Today" show is going kablooey with the Matt Lauer and Ann Curry troubles and now all of a sudden the "Tonight" show is in the news about who will be hosting a year from now and Dave rambles to put out the conspiracy that the "Tonight" show problems is simply "to take our mind off the 'Today' show trouble and if I'm on to something, blink twice." Brian doesn't bite and sits there without a fidget.
Where were you 10 years ago tonight? Not many of us know, but Mr. Williams was in Iraq. He was aboard a helicopter and flying over uncharted territory. Of the 4 helicopters on the mission, 2 were hit by enemy fire. The four choppers descended and waited. They were too far north of our invading forces. They were alone. Luckily, a military crew lead by Tim Terpak arrived and led them to safety. Without his help, Brian would have been a goner. Dave asks to be in a situation like that as a news guy, is it a place you want to be or is it a "Holy Crap" situation. Brian Williams says it was more of the latter. Dave praises Brian for his bravery and successful conclusion to the ordeal but Brian says he was merely an accidental tourist. He was nothing but an extra. It was the men and women of the military who did the great work.
The Supreme Court is in session and hearing oral arguments on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. The right decision is inevitable, but wonders if it will happen now. The Supreme Court doesn't move fast, but it also doesn't want to be on the wrong side of history at this defining moment.
nd what's the story of his being a possibility as the new host of "Jeopardy!"? Brian says his people were approached by their people and a feeler was offered. Brian says he has way too much on his plate at the moment and has no thoughts to being the new host when Alex Trebek steps down. As we go to commercial, we see what Mr. Williams would look like as the host of the best game show on TV, morphing into a shot Brian in an Alex Trebek mustache as the host of "Jeopardy."
Is Art Fleming still alive? How about bringing him back as host of "Jeopardy"? If I ruled the world, the only requirement I would place on the new host is that he or she would have to say when time expires in Final Jeopardy: "Time is up, pens are down."
ANNOUNCE: "It'll be a good one tomorrow, as Dave welcomes Donald Trump, comedian Gary Gulman, and Wavves. A special hello to everyone tuning in tonight on their CB radios! 10-4, good buddy!"
Back from commercial, we find Dave sitting at the desk surrounded by a bunch of teens.
Art Card: "Dave Letterman's Straight Talk For Teens"
ANNOUNCE: "Frank, honest advice for the youth of today, from a voice they respect."
DAVE: (giving fatherly advice) "Hi, kids. How are you? Thank you very much for coming tonight. I want to talk to you young men and women about something I think is very important. By a show of hands, who has felt pressure, peer group pressure in school . . . to join a gang?" (A few raise their hand) Hands go up.) "That's more than I would have guessed. A lot of times people say to me, 'Dave, what is the 411 on gangs?' Let me tell you . ..and I want you to think hard about this . . . examine it . . . turn it over in your head for awhile . . . but please remember this: Don't join a gang. Don't join a gang without absolute, complete permission from your parents." Dave pauses to let that sink in. Then he speaks language of the kids:
"Word up."
ANNOUNCE: " 'Dave Letterman's Straight Talk for Teens' is produced by the National Council of Churches."
PEGI YOUNG & THE SURVIVORS: From her current album, "Bracing For Impact," Pegi Young & The Survivors performed "Feel Just Like A Memory."
And that was our show for Tuesday March 26, 2013.
I always enjoy the grocery bagging competition we have on the show. You can tell Dave appreciates the work they do. Do you bag your own when you go to the supermarket? I do, simply to keep things moving along. It's my impatience. I'll bag till near the end. Then I'll swipe my card into the machine and sign off while the cashier bags the final items. I take pride in finishing my scribble on the credit card machine just as the last item is placed in the bag. I try to keep the refrigerated items with the refrigerated item and boxed stuff with the boxed. I don't mind over-bagging as I feel the fewer bags I have the more likely I'll be able to bring them all in the house in one trip. The other day when I successfully completed a 7-bag, single-carry into the house, my daughter - a veteran of the local A&P supermarket looked upon the bagging and gasped, "Who bagged this for you?" She was shocked at the awfulness of it all. It was over packed, unbalanced, a complete mish-mosh. She would have never let me leave her A&P with bags like that. I told her I did it myself and I could read her displeasure. She wasn't pleased. She wanted to re-bag the groceries right there in the house.
I'm the same way with the dishwasher.
And now, my annual supermarket story. It was many years ago. I was visiting a friend in California. Denise and I were staying at her place and so I felt it was my duty to do the grocery shopping as a form of payment. The first day there I picked up food and beer for the day. At the checkout line, the cashier asked, "Paper or plastic?" I was confused by the query and figured the question was in reference to my form of payment: cash or credit card . . . paper or plastic. I said with confidence, "Cash." I received a look of confusion. The question was asked again and again I said, "Cash." I got my stuff, paid my money, and out I went. This happened on the 2nd day and again on the 3rd and 4th. Not until the end of the week did I realize the question of "paper or plastic" was in reference to the bags. Did I want paper bags or plastic bags.
So close . . . . this week's shows are number 3825, 2826, and 3827. March 25th was numbered 3825, a perfect match for 3/25 . . .except for the 8. Same held true on 3/26 and 3/27. It's been bothering me all week.

After weeks of denial, the president vows to fix serious problems.
There are few things lamer than defending an indefensible position.
Yet that was Team Obama's approach to the seriously rocky launch of the system for people to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
The online exchange has been plagued by problems to an astonishing extent since its Oct. 1 debut. From the beginning, thousands upon thousands of people have found themselves unable to create accounts so that they could ultimately obtain the health insurance they need so badly.
It seemed clear from the get-go that we were dealing with something beyond "glitches" at this critical juncture for the Obama administration's signature legislative achievement.
Yet the forces of Obama portrayed it as no big deal.
Early on, President Obama said that such misfires could be expected with "every new law, every new product sign-up." Administration officials said the system was overwhelmed by the large number of people trying to sign up, which was good news. You see, it simply showed just how badly the controversial measure was needed.
Meanwhile, serious problems persisted, and experts made clear that HealthCare.gov was deeply flawed.
Finally, on Monday, Obama faced up to reality. It was certainly about time. After all, you can't really deal with a problem until you admit that you have one.
"Nobody's madder than me about the fact that the website isn't working as well as it should," the president said during a Rose Garden appearance, "which means it's going to get fixed."
Oh, now you noticed.
The president said he would call in the cavalry — well, a bunch of tech experts — to bring the overmatched website up to speed.
The Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw the ill-fated exchange launch, scooped the president by a day. Apparently having just awakened from a long nap, HHS officials posted on their website that they had discovered that, "Unfortunately, the experience on HealthCare.gov has been frustrating for many Americans." This just in.
It's truly shocking that the administration would be so unprepared for such a momentous occasion. The manifest failures have done nothing but provide fuel — like they need it — to the posse of right-wingers who hate what they love to call "Obamacare" to a degree beyond all reason.
And the outcry would have been much louder at the outset if the Tea Party and its friends hadn't shut down the government.
RIEDER: Shutdown keeps spotlight away from health care law snafus
Don't get me wrong: With all due respect to the chatty Sen. Ted Cruz, I'm not an Obamacare hater. I thought the law was a good idea, and I still think it is. All Americans should have access to health care insurance, and the law helps make that happen.
In the Rose Garden appearance where he acknowledged the myriad snafus, Obama robustly defended the heart of the law, as he should have. "The essence of the law, the health insurance that's available to people, is working just fine," he said.
What's more, he said, "I want the cash registers to work, I want the checkout lines to be smooth and I want people to be able to get this great product."
And the administration is on target when it cites the large volume of people trying to access to system as a reflection of the deep need in the country.
But that only makes the administration's three-week posture of "What, me worry?" even more infuriating. Thousands of Americans, on the brink of securing something they clearly want and need, experienced excruciating frustration as they tried vainly to sign up. The administration's deep denial was an affront to all of them.
Messages matter. And the president, who is a truly formidable communicator when he brings his A game, can be awfully tone-deaf at times.
Well, at least the president has now acknowledged the obvious. Let's hope that the "tech surge" he has ordered up can deliver the goods.
The American people deserve it.
Acknowledging major flaws with the online exchanges, President Barack Obama is vowing that problems that have plagued the roll-out of his health plan will be fixed. (Oct. 21) AP

Not too long ago I wrote, unknowingly, one of my most popular posts to date, Beer Batter Pancakes: The Ongoing Experiment. I was not lying about the "ongoing experiment" part. Because 1) I love pancakes. 2) I love beer. 3) I know how to do math! I've been hesitant to spend money this week after paying bills, but after yesterday's good news of a promotion at work, I felt it time to celebrate. Like any smart twenty-something-year-old, I celebrate with alcohol. I stopped at Whole Foods, but unlike last time, I knew which beer I wanted: Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Being the beer addict that I am, I did not even flinch when I noticed Well's Banana Bread Beer (same brewery) on the shelf below. Expect a post on that batch next week. Question to the readers: Adding actual bananas with the beer, yay or nay? Will it be too overpowering? Thoughts welcome.
I'd also like to mention I snatched a bottle of Southern Tier Pumpking. Whole Foods had a tantalizing display! Haven't had it? Read the review!
Onto the pancakes! I followed the same formula as last time. I opted for 1/4 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of beer, not wanting to make the pancakes with too much liquid. I'm curious to try 2% or whole milk instead of 1%. More fattening, yes, but I'm making pancakes with beer. Are we really counting calories?! I added chocolate chips to sweeten the deal, and also because I don't do pancakes without chocolate chips. Period. The end result? Delicious, to say the least. The roommate can confirm. The chocolate chips and my new favorite syrup culminated in the perfect blend of sweet without it inducing a cavity. The beer was not overwhelming in the least, and naturally the pancakes were made even better with a swig of the leftover brew. It's a tasty option for people who like chocolate but may not necessarily love chocolate. Subtle and sweet, just the way I like it!
The batch was a success! The experiment for pancake/beer perfection continues!

Acadia Parish teams set for Saturday jamborees
CROWLEY – With the 2012-13 prep basketball season hitting its final stretch, area baseball and softball teams are gearing up for the beginning of what looks to be a promising season for everyone involved.
Most of the local teams will kick off the 2013 campaign on Saturday when they participate in their annual jamborees.
Starting in baseball, the Notre Dame Pioneers will travel to Lafayette to participate in the Teurlings Jamboree. Both the Pios' jayvee and varsity squads will be in action, taking on Westminster and host Teurlings in a pair of three-inning contests.
The Pios' jayvee team will take on Westminster at 11:30 a.m. and the two varsity teams will square off at 12:45 p.m.
Notre Dame and Teurlings will then play a jayvee contest at 2 p.m. The Pios and Rebels will round out the day's action with a varsity contest at 3:15.
"With the jamboree, you kind of start to get the intensity of a real game and that's what we like about it," said Notre Dame coach Timmy Robichaux. "Especially playing Teurlings - it's always a challenge when we play them so we're looking forward to it ."
Notre Dame returns just four starters - Brennan Corzine, Hogan Guidry, Clint Faul and Dillan Gilbert – from last year's playoff team that was eliminated in the second round by eventual state champion North DeSoto.
"We also have a number of guys that saw significant playing time," said Robichaux. "We have a lot of different people right now that are getting playing time (in the scrimmages) and there are a lot of positions that are still up in the air….which is a good thing because there are a lot of kids getting a chance to play."
Crowley High will also be in action Saturday. The Gents will travel to Rayne to participate in the RHS Wolves Jamboree.
"We're looking forward to it," said CHS coach Christian Doughty. "We have a young team that we're real excited about and we're anxious to see how things are going to go."
Rayne's jamboree will feature six games with the first three being jayvee contests.
Rayne will kick things off at 9 a.m. with a three-inning contest against Welsh. Crowley will then take on Church Point at 10:30 and Welsh and Church Point round out the jayvee slate at noon.
Welsh and Rayne will begin varsity action at 1:30 p.m. followed by a game between Church Point and Crowley. The Wolves and the Gents will close out the day with a game at 4:30 p.m.
The Gents return four starters - Mickey Morgan, Alex Lebouef, Luke Ancelet and Mackay Mouton -from last year's squad that earned the No. 19 seed in the playoffs. The Gents were eliminated in the first round by Brusly.
"We have a lot of new faces and a big freshman class," said Doughty, who has 12 freshmen players on the roster. "We feel like we have a talented group, we're just real young. We only have two seniors (Morgan and LeBouef) and our starting lineup, as of right now, will include three freshmen."
The Gents will play host to Breaux Bridge this afternoon in a scrimmage at Miller Stadium. The two teams were scheduled to play Wednesday, but wet field conditions forced the contest to be moved back a day.
The jayvee game is slated for 4 p.m. with the varsity contest to follow.
In other jamboree action, Northside Christian will travel to Lake Arthur on Saturday and Iota will be in Eunice to take part in the EHS Bobcat Jamboree.
Notre Dame and Crowley High's softball teams will also be in action this weekend.
The Lady Pios will be in Lafayette taking part in the Teurlings Jamboree, where they will play Lafayette High at 9 a.m. and Kaplan at 10:30.
"I'm excited to see our girls in action," said Notre Dame first-year coach Dusty Collette. "I'm excited about the season and just seeing how our girls react to game situations."
Notre Dame returns six starters from last year's state quarterfinal team that lost to eventual state champion Buckeye in the Fast Pitch 56 State Tournament.
Hurler Molly Stelly returns on the mound as does catcher Alexa Thibodeaux and infielders Allie Daigle and Taylor Satchell. Outfielders returning include Taylor Boulet and Elise LeBeouf.
Katherine Kirsch was expected to return at first base, but a knee injury suffered in basketball has sidelined the former All-Stater for her senior season.
The Crowley Ladies, who return the bulk of last season's squad, including All-District pitcher Olivia Boullion, will travel to Alexandria to participate in the Alexandria Senior High Jamboree on Saturday.
Opponents were unknown as of press time, but the Ladies will play two jayvee games (10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.) and two varsity games (12:30 p.m. and 1:30).
"We have looked good in our scrimmages and we've done a lot of good things," said CHS first-year coach Zack Pulling. "We've improved drastically since this summer so I expect good things out of this group.
"Hopefully we can put the bat on the ball, make the other team make mistakes and limit ours."
In other jamboree action, Northside Christian will be in Abbeville taking on North Vermilion at 1 p.m. on Saturday in the Vermilion Catholic Jamboree.
Iota will travel to Lafayette to particiapte in the Acaidana Jamboree. The Lady Dogs will take on Rayne at noon and Westminster at 1 p.m.

Michelangelo (1475-1564)
Accademia di Belle Arti, Florence, Italy
Michelangelo carved the David from a block which had already been started by AGOSTINO DI DUCCIO (1418-before 1498). The David was installed in place of Donatello's Judith and Holofernes, outside the Palazzo Vecchio, in 1504. It was removed to the Accademia di Belle Arti in 1873, and replaced by a copy. The cast belonging to the Victoria and Albert Museum was presented to Queen Victoria by Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany, in 1856.

Do you live in or visit Florida? Do you occasionally find yourself crossing paths with an invasive species such as a Savannah monitor or cottonmouth? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then you should take advantage of the IveGot1 app. This app by the University of Georgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health allows users to file reports of invasive species sightings, complete with photo upload, thereby allowing officials to track invasive species occurrences throughout the area. The app contains a list of the most common invasive plants/animals found in Florida, although unfortunately there are no photos to accompany the entries. Therefore, one must rely on one's own knowledge of a species' appearance in order to report it as such. (Alternatively, one can always select the "I don't know what it is" option when filing a report.) Reports can be created without an internet connection and saved until a connection is available to allow submission.

The user experience of your association website reflects who your organization is, what it has to offer members, and represents your credibility in the industry. If it is hard to navigate, difficult to understand or isn't engaging, you can count on any traffic you have driven to your association website to go somewhere else. How can you improve the user experience of your website? Here are five proven methods for doing just that.
- Integrate with your membership database software. Nothing is worse than information that is outdated or unavailable. Find an integrated solution so you can make website updates in real-time, keeping your membership database, events, news, and more always up-to-date.
- Searchable, concise content. Web users have short attention spans. For more effective content, use keywords that are relevant to users as well as search engines. People want to easily be able to find what they are looking for without having to dig pages deep.
- Provide multiple engagement points, relevant to each of your target audiences. Some of your website visitors will be looking for how to join. Others may be interested in an event, educational resources, membership directory, or something else. Be sure you provide visitors with relevant calls-to-action.
- Make sure your navigation is a snap. People do not want to spend more than a few clicks to get to find what they need. In other words, if they have to sign up, go to a page, click a link and then get to what they want, they'll leave first.
- Let website users contribute and share content. Consider giving users a place to leave feedback. Or encourage them to participate in blogs or other discussions. Include links to share your content on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites.
If you are unsure if your website makes the grade, ask someone to find something on your site. Does it take moments or minutes? User experience does matter because without a positive experience, users go elsewhere quickly.

Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Hypochondria is a health anxiety disorder. It is often chronic. A person with hypochondria is often very anxious about their health. A hypochondriac fears that a real or imagined minor physical symptom is a sign of serious illness. Even when several doctors assure them otherwise, a hypochondriac is convinced that they have a serious disease. Psychiatric counseling and medications can relieve some, if not all, of the anxiety and suffering. Left untreated, hypochondria can be debilitating and affect daily function.
It is often difficult to identify a specific cause for hypochondria.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk for getting hypochondria include:
- Family history of hypochondria
- Having a serious childhood illness
- Psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, or personality disorder
- Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse in childhood
- Observing violence in childhood
- Stressful experience with your own or a loved one's illness
- History of personal traumatic experience
Brain—Psychological Organ
Symptoms include:
- Chronic fear of serious illness
- Chronic fear that minor symptoms are signs of a serious illness
- Many physical complaints that often change over time
The disorder:
- Lasts at least six months
- Causes major distress
- Interferes with social life or work
You may:
- Check yourself frequently
- Make many doctor visits, sometimes in the same day
- Seek repeated tests for the same symptoms
- Repeatedly research information about specific illnesses and their symptom
- Change healthcare providers frequently
- Try multiple herbal remedies or other alternative treatments
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If the exam shows no disease, your doctor may begin to suspect hypochondria. If further testing also fails to uncover a known medical condition, your doctor may diagnosis you with hypochondria if:
- Your fear of illness lasts for at least six months and does not improve with reassurance and negative testing
- No other psychological disorder is causing your fear
Physician Relationship and Monitoring
Effective treatment involves consistent, supportive care from one doctor, often along with a mental health professional. Finding a healthcare provider who is willing to listen to your concerns, provide support, and avoid needless testing is key to recovery.
You may feel overwhelmed by your symptoms. They may even seem to control your life. Schedule frequent visits, regardless of symptoms, with one doctor you can trust. Expect your doctor to:
- Validate your distress
- Be supportive
- Direct your attention away from symptoms and focus it on functioning in daily life
- Discourage a sense of dependency and disability
- Recommend psychiatric counseling and educational therapy
Psychological Counseling
Psychotherapy such as cognitive behavior therapy and behavioral stress management can be effective in treating hypochondria. This involves regular counseling with a psychotherapist to recognize false beliefs, understand anxiety, and stop anxious behaviors.
There are no guidelines to prevent hypochondria because the cause is not known.
