Public Transportation
MyApartmentMap Neighborhood Expert - Property Manager
If you work in downtown San Diego, go to school at the nearby, or want to visit a friend or family member in a nearby neighborhood, you can easily walk from your rental in Cortez Hill. The neighborhood is just half a mile from both downtown and the college, and I know a lot of residents who walk or bike every day. With the city's mild winters, this is a realistic everyday commuting option. However, if you want to take public transportation, there are bus stops on every block in the neighborhood. There are also two trolley stops -- one near the college, and another on nearby Market Street.
Apartment Costs
MyApartmentMap Neighborhood Expert - Property Manager
Cortez Hill's average price tag for a two bedroom apartment goes for around $2500, more or less. For someone who isn't acquainted with San Diego's housing market this can sound ludicrous, but it's important to weigh it against the costs in surrounding areas. For the same sized space (two bedrooms), the Marina costs $3399, the Gaslamp Quarter costs $2860, and the East Village costs $2727. These are all more expensive than Cortez Hill; when you look at it this way, the Hill's price tag begins to look reasonable. Little Italy ($2479) is practically the same, and Core is slightly less ($2004). Either way, if you're looking for a two bedroom apartment in San Diego it will probably be for more than $2000, and a one bedroom can be between $1400 and $2000, depending.

Two commercial airliners on approach to New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport were illuminated by lasers, the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday.
A privately operated helicopter was also targeted during the same period, between 9:20 and 10 p.m. Thursday.
No injuries were reported.
It's a federal crime to aim a laser at an aircraft. High-powered lasers can incapacitate pilots.
The FAA said the helicopter was illuminated with a green and white laser at 1,600 feet, about 10 miles south of Newark.
About a half-hour later, a Boeing 737 and an Embraer 135 were targeted with a green laser on final approach to the airport. They were at an altitude of 3,000 feet, one mile east of Teterboro Airport.
More than 2,200 laser incidents were reported nationally through Aug. 2, including 27 in New Jersey and eight in Newark.
A Philadelphia man was arrested on charges he shined a green laser pointer at a patrolling police helicopter Thursday night, temporarily blinding both officers in it.
The incident happened about 8:30 p.m.
Jose Feliciano, 19, was charged with aggravated assault, risking a catastrophe and possessing an instrument of crime.
City police said federal officials could review the incident for possible charges.

Dick Clark, 'American Bandstand' TV Show Host, Dies at 82
Dick Clark, the television impresario and host of the "American Bandstand" rock 'n' roll dance show whose permanently boyish looks earned him the nickname "the oldest living teenager," has died. He was 82.
He died today of a heart attack, according to a statement released by his agent, Paul Shefrin. Clark had entered St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, last night for an outpatient procedure, the statement said. In 2004, he suffered a stroke that impaired his speech and movement.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, "American Bandstand" had an impact on popular culture on par with today's "American Idol." Local Philadelphia-area teens who danced on the program became national celebrities; songs they said had "a good beat" during the "Rate-a-Record" segment shot up the pop charts.
"He pretty much invented teenagers as a social unit, and when he plugged a song on 'Bandstand,' the record was more than likely to go gold," People magazine wrote in 1989.
Clark's clean-cut appearance and strict dress code for "Bandstand" -- jackets and ties for boys, skirts and no tight tops for girls -- helped make rock 'n' roll music acceptable to middle America. He was also daring: His insistence on allowing black couples to dance alongside whites gave U.S. viewers one of the first mainstream images of ethnic diversity.
During the show's 30-year run on ABC, Clark interviewed more than 10,000 guests and showcased artists from Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chubby Checker to the Doors, Madonna and Prince. He almost single-handedly made stars of Bobby Darin, Connie Francis and Neil Sedaka.
Dick Clark Productions
Behind the scenes, Clark was one of the savviest entrepreneurs in television history. Founded in 1957, Dick Clark Productions Inc. created "The Golden Globes," "The American Music Awards," "The Academy of Country Music Awards," "'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," the "Bloopers" franchise and "The $10,000 Pyramid" game show and its many spinoffs.
At one point in the 1980s, Clark was hosting shows on all three major networks and in syndication.
He bristled when critics attacked the low-brow appeal of his 1980s specials such as "Hollywood's Private Home Movies" and "Superstars and Their Moms." He always maintained that his job was to give viewers what they want.
Clark's squeaky-clean image received a blemish in 1959 when the U.S. government investigated a possible conflict of interest between his broadcasting career and his investments in publishing and recording companies. He was forced to testify before Congress during its probe into payola, the then-widespread practice of paying disc jockeys to play songs.
'Witch Hunt'
Clark admitted to accepting jewelry and a fur from a record company. Though he wasn't found to have done anything illegal, ABC executives handed him an ultimatum: sell his outside interests or leave "Bandstand." Clark chose to divest his publishing and recording holdings. He later referred to that period as a "huge, trumped-up witch hunt."
After watching Clark ring in the New Year for more than 30 years, viewers were stunned in December 2004 when a stroke forced him to miss the annual telecast. A year later, Clark was back on the air, counting down to 2006 as the ball dropped in Times Square.
"This is just the happiest time of my life," he said on the air that night. "Last year I had a stroke. It left me in bad shape. I had to teach myself how to walk and talk again. It's been a long fight. My speech is not perfect, but I'm getting there."
Inspiration to Others
Some viewers found it disconcerting to see the handsome host in an impaired state. Others, especially stroke victims, lauded his courage and called him an inspiration. Clark continued co-hosting New Year's telecasts along with Ryan Seacrest, who did most of the talking.
"I do the best I can and have been encouraged to continue because I hear it serves to inspire many others," Clark told USA Today just before the 2010 celebration.
Via e-mail, he told the New York Times before what would be his final celebration at the dawn of 2012 that for many viewers, it's "comforting to see a familiar face who has been there for the past 40 years."
Among many awards during a half-century on the air, Clark was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. He was given a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994 in addition to four other Emmys.
A tribute at the 2010 Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony featuring Checker, Tony Orlando and Marie Osmond brought Clark to tears. In videotaped remarks, longtime "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell said, "Without Bandstand, without Dick, there would be no 'American Idol.'"
Brother Killed
Richard Wagstaff Clark was born on Nov. 30, 1929, the second son of Richard Augustus and Julia Barnard Clark, in Bronxville, a small village north of New York City. His father was a sales manager for a New York-based cosmetics firm. In 1933, the family moved to nearby Mount Vernon.
Clark's older brother, Brad, a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, was shot down and killed during the Battle of the Bulge. He was 20.
Clark became interested in radio after his parents took him to New York to watch a live broadcast of the Jimmy Durante-Garry Moore show. Fascinated by the performers and the behind-the-scenes activity in the control room, he decided to pursue a career in radio.
Mailroom Start
He got his start in 1947 when his father hired him for a mailroom job at WRUN, an ABC-affiliated radio station in Utica, New York. Clark's uncle, Bradley Barnard, owned the station and had hired Clark's father away from the cosmetics business to be promotions manager.
Clark attended Syracuse University, where he worked as a disc jockey and newscaster at the campus radio station. He also landed a job at WOLF, a Syracuse station, hosting a country music show.
After graduating in 1951 with a degree in business administration, Clark returned to Utica to take a summer job at WRUN.
As Dick Clay -- he changed his name to distinguish himself from his father -- he was hired by television station WKTV in Utica, where he emceed a country music program called "Cactus Dick and the Santa Fe Riders," which became the training ground for his later work on "Bandstand."
With help from his father, Clark landed a job at radio station WFIL in Philadelphia, where -- now back to using his real name -- he hosted "Dick Clark's Caravan of Music." WFIL's sister television station carried an afternoon teen dance show called "Bandstand" that was hosted by Bob Horn. After Horn was arrested for drunken driving in 1956, Clark replaced him.
Clean-Cut Image
"Clark's clean-cut boy-next-door image seemed to offset any unsavory fallout from Horn's arrest, because the show increased in popularity," according to a history of the show provided by the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.
Clark persuaded ABC network executives to include the show in its national lineup. The newly renamed "American Bandstand" made its debut on Aug. 5, 1957, becoming one of the first locally originated shows to be broadcast nationally. Within months, the show, which led into ABC's "Mickey Mouse Club," was the top-rated daytime program in the U.S.
Performers on "Bandstand" would lip-synch the words to their latest songs. Teens would rate the latest records -- "I like the beat" became a catchphrase -- and local dancers like Bob and Justine or Kenny and Arlene became national stars.
'Original Reality Show'
"It was the original reality show," Clark told CNN's Larry King in 2004.
The show ran on weekdays through 1963, when ABC switched to a weekly broadcast on Saturdays. The next year Clark moved the program to Los Angeles, which gave him closer access to the recording industry and an opportunity to develop other shows. Clark's dress code eventually gave way to the fashion styles of the 1970s.
In 1972, he hosted the first "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" special from Times Square, providing a youthful contrast to the annual broadcasts of Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians. The following year, he started his first game show, "The $10,000 Pyramid," which ran in various incarnations until 1989.
With the rise of cable channels MTV and VH-1 in the 1980s, "American Bandstand" fell out of fashion. ABC canceled it in 1987, though Clark continued to produce it for syndication and later the USA Network until 1989.
Clark's production company was sold for $175 million in June 2007 to Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins football team. The deal included Clark's shows as well as his vast library of musical performances.
Clark and Barbara Mallery married in 1952 and had a son, Richard, before divorcing in 1962. Clark and his second wife, Loretta Martin, had two children, Duane and Cindy. That marriage also ended in divorce. He married his third wife, Kari Wigton, in 1977.
Clark found a decidedly adult way to make sure there would never be another "oldest living teenager." He trademarked the nickname.

"Two google searches would produce as much green-house gases as boiling a cup of water!!!"
This was an interesting posting on Facebook from HG Zachariah Mar Nicholovos, Assistant Metropolitan of America. This however related to a feature from UK The Sunday Times, titled: "Revealed: the environmental impact of Google searches."
With more than 500 million active users, Facebook, the social networking and microblogging site launched in 2004, is really the in-thing. The Facebook bug has not left Malankara Orthodox metropolitans either. Those belonging to the younger generation have switched to the high-tech virtual world easily.
HG Zachariah Mar Nicholovos, based in New York and HG Alexios Mar Eusebius, new Metropolitan of the Texas-based Diocese of South West America have emerged front runners with their updates and postings.
Not to be left behind is HG Dr Yuhanon Mar Milithios, Thrissur diocese Metropolitan head who uses MSN space lavishly and differently.

A comment from a faithful on Dr Milithios: "your blogs are full of life and create a renewable energy in understanding the Gospels and the Syrian Orthodox faith together. His sermons are a sea of realistic approach to the common man's life and Christ as well; a must to join for the Holy Qurbana with His Grace."
Nicholovos has posted 566 photos, 10 vidoes and used the TripAdvisor to good effect. He has pinned 83 cities in 15 countries mentioning the cities visited all over the globe except Africa and Australia.
He has found Raj Patel's book on 'The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy' eye opening and Guy Debord's 'The Society of the Spectacle' (originally written in the 60s) still relevant. "Very thought provoking work," he comments about Debord's work.
He has also used mobile uploads and mention must be made of the huge chandelier at the new aramana which drew many likes among friends.
Videos include educative ones like the Catholica Mangala Gaanem and one on the teaching by HG Job Mar Philoxenos and another on Houston Leadership camp — Where will you be when amazing happens.
In the recent past, email ids of HGs Mar Severios and Yuhanon Milithios were hacked during their visits abroad. Hackers posted emails to their friends from the directory stating that they were in deep trouble and had to be helped financially since they had lost all their valuables.
Facebook and Twitter can be effectively used by our dioceses to educate the younger generation. The Youth Movement can take the lead in this direction. These sites are being widely used by the youngsters to convey messages and to be in touch. A forum can be created to discuss problems of the youth and other pressing issues pertaining to the community. All new dioceses formed recently must connect themselves to the virtual world and have them linked to microblogging sites. In a fast paced world, being online helps and those responsible should take the lead.

Churches work together sometimes, but a Saturday project is a study in contrast.
Calvary Baptist is an imposing brick edifice with big white pillars that stands on a rise above Ruskin Drive, an anchor thoroughfare for one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods.
Eighteenth Street Community Church is also brick, but it is no bigger than a bungalow, with a footprint smaller than Calvary's portico and a congregation to match, located in a former bar in a struggling neighborhood that has only recently begun to gain ground.
But they're holding a joint block party Saturday in that struggling neighborhood, after the pastor of the big suburban church reached out to the pastor of the little inner-city congregation and offered to help.
"Cooler than you can believe," said Pastor Paul Johnson of the church on 18th Street. "Folks on one side of town coming together with folks on the other side of town and just doing a good thing together."
Contemplating it recently brought him and Calvary Pastor Larry Weaver to tears, he said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Block party
When: 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday
Where: Lucy Johnson Memorial Park, 19th Street and 13th Avenue
It grew out of a Calvary deacons' meeting, when one attendee asked how Calvary could interact with other churches in the community, Weaver said.
Church member Tom Brubaker suggested getting together with the Eighteenth Street Community Church.
He did so because he'd grown up on 18th Street, not far from the little church, and Brubaker's mother - who has since died - took a particular interest in it, Weaver said.
The building began as St. Barnabas, an outreach of St. Luke's Episcopal across town, Johnson said.
The tavern period - first as Champ's Cafe, then as Billy Moore's - lasted 30 years, he said.
During that time, Brubaker's mother wanted to see it return to its original purpose, Weaver said.
It has under Johnson, who ministers especially to people who have had a hard time with their lives.
Brubaker's suggestion fell on fertile ground at the deacons' meeting, after which Weaver went to 18th Street to visit, leaving a note on the door asking Johnson to call.
"A door hanger," Johnson said.
When the pastors got together, they talked and prayed.
The help from Calvary actually began when a crew of construction-savvy members removed a disused chimney that was causing leaks in the roof of the smaller church.
Then the subject of the block party came up.
Johnson's church has been holding one for years.
This year's version, with Calvary's help, will be bigger and better.
Calvary is bringing a climbing wall, a snow cone machine and a popcorn machine, Johnson said.
There will be hot dogs and orange juice, face painting, music, basketball and a prayer table where attendees can share their worries, the pastors said.
Johnson had been hoping for something like this.
So had Weaver, according to Johnson.
"I see it as the church doing what the church does," Johnson said, speaking in the broadest sense. "All of us working together the way the Lord expects."

Judgement expected in Co Cork couple's extradition case
Published 16/11/2006
Judgment is expected today in the extradition case involving a Co Cork couple who are wanted in the US for allegedly kidnapping their grandson two years ago.
Timothy and Ethel Blake, both in their 60s, of Lower Midleton Street, Cobh, were arrested in September last year.
Each face a charge of aggravated kidnapping, which carries a maximum penalty of 30 years if they are surrendered to the US authorities.
Their lawyers have argued that no official request for their extradition had been made by the US and that they were acting on an order of the Circuit Court here, which gave them custody of the then nine-year-old boy.
Mr Justice Michael Peart is set to decide on whether they should be extradited this morning.

RV TV Antennas:
The Batwing
This guide is part of a series of articles; see Selecting the Best TV Antenna for an RV for information about other types of TV antennas for RV use.
Rooftop Batwing Antennas
The rooftop batwing RV TV antenna is ubiquitous. Because almost every RV comes with one doesn't mean that the batwing is the cheap way out! On the contrary, the batwing is directional and all have an integrated signal booster. Their performance should be sufficient for all but the most demanding viewer. In fact, the next step up from a rooftop batwing is an array antenna; see Array Antennas.
Why Choose a Batwing?
The batwing RV TV antenna is directional and can be rotated for the best reception – from inside the rig. Unlike an omnidirectional TV antenna that receives equally well in all directions (a disk antenna, for example), the batwing can "focus" its effort. This directional capability provides "gain" on the TV signal that increases reception range.
From inside of the RV, the batwing can be raised when needed, and lowered before getting underway. At least one model of batwing antenna can be raised, lowered, and rotated, automatically (by electric motors).
The batwing – a quick comparison to other types of TV antennas:
- Compared to the disk antenna, the batwing can be raised for additional height, and has directional capability. Other types of stationary antennas exist, but might be directional – without rotation capability.
- An array has additional antenna elements that make it so effective. Most are highly directional – an electric rotator is handy. An array antenna must be erected every time you park, and mounted away from the RV, unless a lot of effort is invested into building it onto the rig. Typically, an array doesn't have an integrated antenna amplifier, but that's easily added.
One of the following cases should apply:
- Upgrading (or downgrading) to a batwing antenna from something else, or there is no antenna at all
- Replacing an existing batwing
- Improving an existing batwing
- Install a better batwing antenna
Upgrading, downgrading, or no antenna:
A batwing requires a hole through the roof and cabling within the roof and walls. A wall plate (consisting of a switch, a splitter, and connector) will have to be installed. Not only do you need to decide on your next antenna on the basis of reception, but also on how much effort you're willing to put into installation. Winegard has detailed instructions for a new batwing installation. See Winegard Sensar Antenna Installation/Operation Manual (pdf).
It is not known at the time of this writing if there is a version of the batwing antenna that doesn't require a through-the-roof mount. Such an antenna system would require a remotely controlled rotator and raise/lower mechanism.
Replacing an existing batwing:
The amplifier in a batwing (or any antenna) is critical. Older batwings were supplied with analog amplifiers, which were fine before digital and Hidef ("HD"). Those amplifiers were designed for analog signals and worked well for that. Their transistors and circuits did not anticipate the high data rates inherent in digital signals. They can actually cost you a lot of your digital signal! If you aren't getting what you expect from your batwing antenna, try to determine its age. If it is older than 2010, it's very likely to have an analog amplifier. Replacing that batwing with one containing an amplifier suitable for digital will make a huge difference! (Only the head needs to be replaced, not the entire arm and rooftop mount.) Be sure to get a batwing with a UHF array – the Winegard Wingman, for example. (See the next topic.)
Don't rely solely on the antenna's amplifier to achieve perfect reception! No HD antenna amplifier is a substitute for an adequate antenna. Remember, several things affect reception, including terrain, buildings, trees, distance to station and power of the station.
Improving an existing batwing:
If the batwing does not have a UHF array – the Winegard Wingman – add one! Over 80% of digital and HD stations are UHF. These little add-ons pack a punch and add a lot of directional gain. Enough said about that!
A Better Batwing?
How much is too much? The more antenna, the more stations you can expect to receive! Go for it! A solid replacement is a Winegard Sensar IV, which comes with the Wingman and a proper signal amplifier. There is a motorized version. It gives you fully automatic control from within your rig, if you're willing to pay the rather steep price tag. (An updated version of this antenna might be available soon.)
An excellent choice over the traditional batwing is the JACK Digital HDTV Antenna System. This HD antenna system replaces the batwing and requires some modification on the rig's roof (follow the installation guide carefully!), but it's well worth the trouble. This choice features an integrated signal meter for aiming it perfectly at the station.
(Available in black and white versions.)
Signal Meters
Whatever your choice in a directional (you rotate it) type RV TV antenna, a TV signal meter is indispensable.
- The Winegard SensarPro Signal Meter replaces the original wall plate with its TV connector and 12v outlet, so you'll have to install a new TV outlet next to the old wall recess.
- The Sensar Pro is a version of this meter with its own amplifier (in addition to the amp in the antenna), and has adjustable gain.
- An in-the-cable meter can be used, and can be obtained from various sources.
These antennas and components are available from a wide variety of sources. Just to mention a few:

OK, now you guys can take a little break.
That's a 5-0 homestand and a 27-7 record — tied for Miami for best in the league — that Oklahoma City takes into the All-Star break. That's how you handle business at home. And to put a nice little bow on it, the Thunder beat the Celtics and Lakers by 15 each on back-to-back nights.
I kept thinking about 2009 during this game. The superpower Lakers were in town against the young and raw Thunder. And it was a night of watching the Thunder work tirelessly to hang with a team superior to them, struggling to keep it within 10 points, only to get within striking distance before Kobe Bryant checked in halfway through the fourth and iced the game on Oklahoma City.
My, my, the times are a'changin'. This time, it was Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant that were waiting to enter with the Thunder holding a double-digit lead, set to snuff the life out of the Lakers. And not that the game was over when those two checked back in with about eight minutes left, but it kind of had that feeling.
The game turned on its head with 0.8 left in the first half. Westbrook drilled a 3 to put OKC one and then KD stole the inbounds pass and hit a jumper as the buzzer sounded. Just like that, the Thunder went up three and never looked back. OKC had a tremendous third quarter outscoring the Lakers 27-19, and did it by sharing (10 assists in the quarter) and protecting (only one turnover).
But to me, this game was more about two individual performances. And for once, not about Westbrook and Durant lighting up the scoreboard with 400 combined points or something. It was about the defensive efforts from James Harden on Kobe Bryant and Kendrick Perkins on Andrew Bynum.
Bynum had scored back-to-back baskets, one a dunk over Nazr Mohammed and the other a finish over Cole Aldrich. Perk checked back in and the Lakers went straight to Bynum in the post. Perk bullied him, pushed him, kept him off the block and Bynum missed almost the same look he had against Aldrich. After Perk came back in, Bynum didn't score. I guarantee you if Oklahoma City doesn't have Kendrick Perkins, Bynum goes for 30 on 15 or 16 shots. Instead, Bynum finished with 14 points on just 5-15 shooting. This type of game is exactly the reason I believe in Perk's value. And you can bank on me calling back on it for a while if the discussion comes up again.
As for Harden, he played one of the more complete games of his career. The 16 points on 10 shots with three assists was typical, but his defense on Kobe was downright inspirational. You could tell Harden absolutely relished the chance to stop No. 24. He played with more energy and aggression, bodying Bryant, contesting everything and forcing him into tough shots. In the end it was 24 points for Kobe on 7-24 shooting. And Harden was the one dancing his way back down the court after a dagger 3.
It's obvious that the Thunder are an elite team. Nobody should've needed these last couple of games to fully understand that. But beating the Celtics and Lakers almost 24 hours within each other is pretty impressive.
And something I definitely had trouble picturing in 2009.
- I had a close eye on the second unit as it started the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead. The group played for almost four minutes and when Westbrook and Durant re-entered the game, the group was a -4. Not terrible, not great. The cause for the lapse too was not because of Reggie Jackson, but Harden who turned it over on consecutive possessions.
- I feel like saying it again: How good was Harden on Kobe? Really good, that's how good.
- Here's the thing with Barkley's criticisms about OKC: He's right. The Thunder shoot a lot of jumpers. And if by chance KD has a terrible night and Russell Westbrook has a terrible night and James Harden has a terrible night and they can make their jumpshots, the Thunder will lose. But that's just common sense, isn't it? Everyone wants easy baskets. It's kind of the point. The more you get, the better you are. But the teams he likes — Miami, San Antonio, Chicago — how are they any different? The Spurs are in fact a little worse in this regard. They don't just rely on jumpshots; they rely on 3-pointers. The Heat get easy buckets in transition, but other than that, are they so different than the Thunder? They hope that three guys carry the load and shoot the ball well. Isn't that just kind of… basketball?
- Rob Lowe was courtside in OKC sitting next to Aubrey McClendon. I don't know why. I'm guessing he's trying to buddy up with KD so he can break his retirement story in 15 years.
- KD was fairly spectacular. On 12-22 shooting, 33 points, six assists, three steals and four rebounds. Complete player.
- Westbrook's line is average, but he was quietly really good. Hit some big shots, made some big passes and played some big defense. Kind of your classic mediocre Westbrook game were he was actually pretty great.
- Via Darnell Mayberry, a fan behind the basket by the Laker bench was holding a sign that said "Team Vanessa."
- Harden was dealing with a sprained left wrist and you could see it had a pretty good influence on his first jumper. Harden's follow-through looked a bit awkward and he bricked his shot badly. He avoided most jumpers and really focused on going to the rim. But he wasn't passing up that last 3. He wanted that one.
- Serge Ibaka with a nice double-double — 11 points and 13 rebounds. Just one on the offensive glass though.
- OK, OK, OK — I won't call someone gay. Geez, Grant Hill.
- Perk didn't turn the ball over. How about that one?
- Daequan Cook got a little trigger happy there in the third. You know what? I really don't mind. Because I think it's going in every time he shoots it. He might be in a slump, but the dude is a straight shooter. He can heat up and knock down a batch of deep balls. I can live with a little outburst every now and then.
- Kind of says it all when the announcers just assumed the fourth quarter tip slam was from Ibaka when it was actually Perk. Or just that Dick Stockton is pretty old.
- OKC's fast break can be a thing of beauty. The one-touch passing is just artistic.
- Reggie Jackson dunked. Like a real, attack-the-rim, aggressive dunk. More, please.
- And here's your official Reggie Jackson nickname, via @blokcparty: "Mr. Okctober." Brilliant.
- How does the ball end up in Jackson's hands so often at the end of quarters? Oh that's right, I know how.
- A "The Beard" shirt got some solid national TV love. Props to that guy wearing it.
- Cole Aldrich looked a bit overwhelmed in his 10 minutes. But the thing is, he's not ever going to start making obvious impacts on a game without legit playing time. And what he does is never glaringly bad. I think he's good enough to at least warrant consideration for Mohammed's minutes.
- The Lakers, with Bynum and Gasol, had only eight total offensive rebounds. That's just 11 surrendered by OKC on back-to-back nights. That would've been a good single game for the Thunder. Still would be, in fact.
- I'm in Orlando covering All-Star Weekend, so I wasn't in the building, but man, I wish I would've been.
Next up: All-Star break.

Former employees of the Crane Co. may be eligible for some financial assistance through the Crane Fund.
The Crane Fund is a charitable trust established in 1914 by company founder Richard Teller Crane to assist employees no longer able to work as a result of ill health or after normal retirement age. Their widowed spouses and minor children can also be included, said Robert Culbertson, administrator of the Englewood Cliffs, N.J.-based fund.
Crane Co., which manufactured hot water baseboard heating elements, closed its Duncansville plant on Aug. 31, 1974, with 225 employees affected.
The plant had opened in the late 1940s under the Jobs for Joes industrial development program. It was originally known as National Radiator Co., which was purchased by Crane in December 1959.
Joseph Wiedemer of Altoona, who retired from the company in 1971 after 21 years of service, recently learned about the Crane Fund through a mailing campaign.
"I had never heard about this before. There are a lot of people in this area who do not know about this. I think it is fabulous," Wiedemer said. "It may help a lot of people and provide them with help they never expected."
The Crane Fund in the United States and Canada currently helps about 800 people, Culbertson said. He said he doesn't know how many people in the Altoona area may be eligible but it may be as few as 15 to 20 people.
Not everyone is eligible to receive assistance, Culbertson said.
"The person has to have worked at least five years for Crane Co. or any of its subsidiary companies while owned by Crane. The employee has to be at least 57 or older unless disabled," Culbertson said. "We look at their income and assets. We have a formula to determine whether they are eligible for a sum of money or if they are not eligible. The payment has to approved by the board of directors."
Former Crane Co. employees can call 888-855-1100 to inquire about an application to see if they are eligible.
"We will be glad to talk to them to see if they are eligible," Culbertson said. "During these tough times, we are glad we are able to help a good number of people."

CBS' dramatization of the Civil War in The Blue and The Gray is twice as long and, in my opinion, twice as good as its nearest competitor, Gone With the Wind. But does this TV epic offer an authentic portrayal of the Civil War? The answer must be mixed. On the negative side: The drama fails to tell viewers what the war was about—and what its participants thought it was about. The scenes depicting John Brown's execution and the lynching of a freed black man hint that the conflict concerned slavery. Much later we see Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation. But these scenes burst onto the screen without a context; the viewer gets no clear idea how or why slavery and emancipation became involved with the war. In fact, most Yanks and Rebs did not go to war primarily to protect or abolish slavery. Northerners believed they were fighting to defend government, flag and nation from destruction by "rebels"; Southerners believed they were fighting to defend home and land from invasion and spoliation by Yankee "hordes." The scriptwriter missed good opportunities to convey these themes. For instance, the script's conversation between a Northern soldier and a Confederate soldier during a battle in Virginia could have had Johnny Reb utter the words of an actual Southern soldier captured in battle, who, when asked why he as a non-slaveholder was fighting for slavery, replied: "I'm fighting because y'all are down here."
Civil War buffs will note a few factual errors and flaws in the film. In February 1861 Lincoln assumes that war is inevitable, when in fact he was trying to avoid it. Confederate infantry fire comes from inside the Henry House at the First Battle of Bull Run. Artillery shells burst with unreal reliability in attempts to shoot down observation balloons. Union soldiers sing The Battle Cry of Freedom in June 1862—before it was written. And why couldn't CBS have filmed all the scenes in the right season of the year? Instead, we have trees with spring or summer foliage during John Brown's execution in December 1859 and Lincoln's whistle-stop near Gettysburg in February 1861.
But these are small errors. The conflicting allegiances of the main characters reflect a true dimension of the war and symbolize the national tragedy of a house divided against itself. The main details of dress, uniforms and weapons are strikingly realistic. The battle scenes are convincing (except for two or three skirmishes in the macho gunslinging style of grade-B Westerns). The episodes of soldiers in camp, on the march and in combat are excellent. The depictions of life in Vicksburg during the siege, of women nurses in war hospitals and of wartime railroad are well done. Even the sentimentality of the love stories conveys an ultimate realism, for this was a sentimental age. Gregory Peck makes a fine Abraham Lincoln, though his rich baritone is not anything like Lincoln's higher-pitched voice. The few other actual historical personages who appear briefly are accurately portrayed: John Brown, members of Lincoln's War Cabinet, Mary Lincoln, Generals Grant, Lee, Meade and Haupt. But this is mainly the story of the common people who fought and endured the Civil War, told through fictional characters whose roles will help viewers understand something of what it was like to live and die in America's most traumatic and crucial war.
The reviewer is a professor of history at Princeton University and author of the recent Ordeal by Fire: The Civil War and Reconstruction.

To cultivate renewable energy, Monmouth employs solar paneling on many of its buildings, as seen above on Bey Hall. The solar power system produces fewer air pollutants, making it better for the environment and more economical for the University.
Beyond conserving energy and minimizing our reliance on natural resources, Monmouth University has made great strides in cultivating renewable energy. In 2005, the University--with partial funding by a grant from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and the Clean Energy Program--installed the largest solar power system east of the Mississippi River on four buildings: Bey Hall, Boylan Gymnasium, the Rebecca Stafford Student Center, and the Facilities Management Building. Recent campus construction has allowed for the addition of 46,000 square feet of solar paneling on seven additional buildings (Edison Science Building, Howard Hall, the Multipurpose Activity Center, Elmwood Hall, Magill Commons, McAllan Hall, and the Plangere Center), doubling the previous amount and securing us as a leader in solar energy usage both regionally and nationally.
The University's solar installations combined:
The majority of academic buildings on campus are fitted for solar paneling, ensuring better efficiency and effectiveness as Monmouth continues its green initiative.

Pediatric anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and impairing and are considered gateway disorders in that they predict adult psychiatric problems. Although they can be effectively treated in the short term, data are limited on the long-term outcomes in treated children and adolescents, particularly those treated with medication.
To determine whether acute clinical improvement and treatment type (ie, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, or their combination) predicted remission of anxiety and improvement in global functioning at a mean of 6 years after randomization and to examine predictors of outcomes at follow-up.
Design, Setting, and Participants
This naturalistic follow-up study, as part of the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Extended Long-term Study (CAMELS), was conducted at 6 academic sites in the United States and included 288 youths (age range, 11-26 years; mean age, 17 years). Youths were randomized to 1 of 4 interventions (cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, combination, or pill placebo) in the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Study (CAMS) and were evaluated a mean of 6 years after randomization. Participants in this study constituted 59.0% of the original CAMS sample.
Participants were assessed by independent evaluators using a semistructured diagnostic interview to determine the presence of anxiety disorders, the severity of anxiety, and global functioning. Participants and their parents completed questionnaires about mental health symptoms, family functioning, life events, and mental health service use.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Remission, defined as the absence of all study entry anxiety disorders.
Almost half of the sample (46.5%) were in remission a mean of 6 years after randomization. Responders to acute treatment were significantly more likely to be in remission (odds ratio, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.08-3.09) and had less severe anxiety symptoms and higher functioning; the assigned treatment arm was unrelated to outcomes. Several predictors of remission and functioning were identified.
Conclusions and Relevance
Youths rated as responders during the acute treatment phase of CAMS were more likely to be in remission a mean of 6 years after randomization, although the effect size was small. Relapse occurred in almost half (48%) of acute responders, suggesting the need for more intensive or continued treatment for a sizable proportion of youths with anxiety disorders.
Trial Registration
clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00052078
Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in childhood and severely disrupt the developmental trajectories of affected children and adolescents. Considered gateway disorders, they predict adult mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, and substance use.1- 3 These disorders can be treated in the short term with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, and/or their combination.4 However, long-term treatment outcome data (ie, ≥5 years after treatment) exist only for CBT.5 To our knowledge, no study has compared the long-term outcomes of CBT with those of medication or combined treatment (CBT plus medication).
Findings from the CBT studies indicate that initial treatment response is largely maintained over time. The largest CBT follow-up study to date reassessed 86 youths (91% of the original sample) a mean of 7 years after treatment and found that 81% of the sample no longer met criteria for their original primary anxiety diagnosis5 and that treatment responders, compared with nonresponders, were less likely to report using alcohol and cannabis. Despite these encouraging findings, the existing CBT follow-up literature is limited by the fact that most studies report only the loss of the youth's primary anxiety disorder rather than remission (ie, loss of all study entry anxiety disorders). Remission is a more stringent criterion, particularly because anxiety disorders are highly comorbid.6
The current study, part of the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Extended Long-term Study (CAMELS), examined the long-term outcomes in youths diagnosed with an anxiety disorder who had been randomized to 1 of 4 treatment conditions (ie, CBT, sertraline, combination, or pill placebo) as part of the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Study (CAMS).4 The primary aims of this study were to assess whether children and adolescents who responded favorably to short-term treatments for anxiety (those assigned a score of 1 or 2 on the Clinical Global Impression–Improvement Scale) were more likely to be in remission (ie, free of all of the study entry anxiety disorders), had lower anxiety symptom severity, and had higher functioning than those who did not respond favorably to these treatments (ie, nonresponders). Treatment type was examined to determine whether it was associated with remission, anxiety severity, or global functioning. Several predictors of these outcomes were examined in an exploratory manner (ie, age, sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status [SES], baseline severity of anxiety symptoms, baseline comorbid disorders, parental symptoms of psychopathology, family functioning, negative life events, and mental health service use since CAMS). We hypothesized that CAMS treatment responders (compared with nonresponders) and those receiving combination treatment (compared with other treatment arms) would more likely be in remission, have lower anxiety severity, and have higher functioning at this first CAMELS visit.
Eligible participants were recruited from 465 youths who participated in CAMS (23 of the original 488 CAMS participants declined to be contacted for future studies). Recruitment for CAMS occurred between 2002 and 2007 at 6 sites.4 All participants met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition, text revision) diagnostic criteria for social, separation, or generalized anxiety disorder. Participants were randomized in CAMS to 12 weeks of CBT (the Coping Cat treatment manual),7 medication (sertraline), a combination of both, or pill placebo at a 2:2:2:1 ratio. Detailed descriptions of the sample, methods, and acute outcomes have been published elsewhere.4,8- 10 Recruitment for CAMELS began in January 2011 and will end in 2015. Recruited participants are assessed every 6 months. Each year there is a "long visit" that includes a semistructured diagnostic interview by an independent evaluator and numerous questionnaires completed by youths, parents, and study staff (approximately 4-6 hours). The second annual assessment is a "short visit," in which participants are sent questionnaires to complete at home and contacted by telephone to assess service use. Data for the current study were based on participants' first CAMELS long visit.
Primary outcomes were assessed by independent evaluators (ie, efforts were made to keep evaluators blind to initial CAMS treatment assignment and responder status) who interviewed participants and their parents. Additional outcomes were determined from youth participant and parent reports and were selected to maintain continuity of measures from CAMS. Specifically, the age-appropriate versions of the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule11 were used to assess a broad range of psychiatric disorders, including all 3 of the primary CAMS entry anxiety disorders. The interrater agreement for diagnostic status was high (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.82-0.88) and was based on a random review of 10% of CAMS baseline and week 12 videotaped independent evaluator assessments. The Clinical Global Impression–Severity scale,12 a single-item measure of anxiety symptom severity, and the Children's Global Assessment Scale,13 used to rate global functioning, were also rated by an independent evaluator.
The following predictor variables were collected at the CAMS baseline: the Brief Family Assessment Measure,14 completed by parents to assess overall family functioning, with higher scores indicating more family dysfunction (Cronbach α = 0.84); the Brief Symptom Inventory,15 a 53-item parent-report measure of global psychiatric symptoms (Cronbach α = 0.95); the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory–Trait,16 a 20-item parent-report measure that assesses trait anxiety in parents, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety symptoms (Cronbach α = 0.91); and demographic information collected through parent report. The following measures were collected at the first CAMELS visit and examined as predictors: the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule Supplemental Services Form,11 administered by a research assistant and used to assess whether psychiatric medication and therapy services were received any time after the acute phase of treatment, with a dichotomized score (ie, yes or no) in each category (psychotherapy, medication). The Life Events Scale,17 a self-report 35-item measure of exposure to a range of stressful events, with a total score reflecting the number of endorsed negative life events, was also obtained.
The 465 CAMS participants who agreed to be contacted for future studies were called by telephone and sent a letter of invitation to participate in CAMELS. Families expressing interest completed a written informed consent and then an in-person or telephone evaluation during which all of the described measures were collected. Each family was reimbursed $130 for completion of this assessment. During this evaluation, an independent evaluator administered the age-appropriate diagnostic interview and other key measures. A research assistant supervised administration of youth-report and parent-report questionnaires to ensure that forms were understood and fully completed. All sites had institutional review board approval for this study.
Initial analyses compared baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between CAMS participants who enrolled in CAMELS (n = 288) and those who did not (n = 200), using t tests for continuous measures and χ2 tests for categorical variables. Before analyses, missing data were handled using the multiple imputation feature of SPSS software, version 21 (SPSS Institute Inc). Following published guidelines,18,19 we created 20 imputed data sets using the fully conditional specification algorithm, which uses a regression-based approach to generate multiple data sets with different estimates of missing values. The imputation model included all baseline demographic and clinical variables, treatment responder status, and the examined covariates. Binary variables were imputed from a logistic model; all other variables were imputed using linear regression. Overall rates of missing data on examined variables for CAMELS participants were low (<5%), and no variable was missing more than 7% of its values (range, 0%-7%).
Logistic regression analyses using multiple imputation were used to examine whether acute treatment responders, compared with nonresponders, had higher rates of remission (ie, were free of the 3 study entry anxiety disorders) at the first CAMELS study visit. Multiple regression analyses examined the effect of response status on anxiety symptom severity and global functioning. Treatment conditions were dummy-coded with the placebo condition as the reference group, and planned contrasts between the 3 active treatment conditions were conducted to examine the effect of treatment condition on outcome variables. Finally, additional predictors of remission, severity of anxiety symptoms, and functioning at this first follow-up visit were examined by using similar procedures. All analyses controlled for study site, baseline CAMS anxiety severity determined with the Clinical Global Impression–Severity Scale, time since CAMS randomization (in years), and mental health service use after the acute phase of CAMS (to account for interim service use). Analyses examined predictors individually along with the designated control variables. To determine the unique contributions of each predictor, all variables were included together in a final multiple regression model. Rubin's formulas20 were used to combine parameter estimates and standard errors to create pooled estimates. Magnitude of effects for analyses were assessed using Cohen's effect size guidelines,21 such that odds ratios in logistic regression analyses of 1.44, 2.47, and 4.25 and R2 values in hierarchical regression analyses of 0.01, 0.09, and 0.25 indicate small, medium, and large effects, respectively.
This report is based on the first assessment of 288 CAMELS participants representing 59.0% of youths randomized in CAMS from all CAMS sites (Figure). The CAMELS sample included 160 female participants (55.6%), the mean (SD) age was 16.8 (3.2) years (range, 11-26 years), and the racial/ethnic composition was 81.6% white, 8.7% African American, 3.1% Asian, and 6.6% other (eg, American Indian); 8.0% of the sample identified as Hispanic or Latino. The mean time since CAMS randomization was 6.2 years (range, 3.7-9.9 years).

Results comparing CAMELS participants and nonparticipants (ie, those who participated only in CAMS) revealed no differences in percentage of treatment responders, baseline anxiety severity, number of baseline comorbid disorders, or assigned treatment condition (Table 1). With respect to demographic variables, the CAMELS sample included more female participants (P = .002) and fewer Hispanics (P = .001) and was of higher SES, as measured by the Hollingshead SES Index (P < .001). On average, CAMELS participants were randomized 3 months later than nonparticipants (t[486] = −2.19; P = .03). Across the CAMELS sample, 46.5% (n = 134) were in remission (ie, did not meet criteria for any study entry anxiety disorder). Among the 53.5% (n = 154) who did meet criteria for a current anxiety disorder, 46.8% (n = 72) had a comorbid internalizing disorder (eg, non–study entry anxiety or mood disorder), and 27.3% (n = 42) had a comorbid externalizing disorder (eg, oppositional defiant disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder); these participants had a mean (SD) of 2.7 (1.3) diagnoses. Among youths who did not meet criteria for a current study entry anxiety disorder (n = 134), 10.4% (n = 14) had an internalizing disorder and 9.7% (n = 13) had an externalizing disorder; they had a mean (SD) of 0.28 (0.51) diagnoses. Table 2 summarizes the diagnostic status of all CAMELS participants.
Information on interim therapy services received between CAMS and CAMELS is presented in Table 3. Among CAMELS participants, 46.9% received both medication and therapy at some point between CAMS and CAMELS; 14.9% received only medication, 9.0% received only psychological therapy, and 28.1% received no interim mental health services (6 participants did not complete the service use form). The χ2 tests indicated no differences in supplemental service use by active CAMS treatment condition (ie, CBT, medication, or combination).
Treatment responders were significantly more likely to be in remission (ie, free of all CAMS entry anxiety disorders) (odds ratio, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.08-3.09; P = .03), to have lower anxiety severity scores (R2 = 0.02; P = .02), and to have higher global functioning scores (R2 = 0.01; P = .02) at this follow-up; these were all small effects. The percentages of CAMS responders and nonresponders in remission at the first CAMELS assessment were 52.0% and 37.6%, respectively; as noted, the remission rate for the total sample was 46.5%. When analyses were performed without participants assigned to placebo treatment, responder status predicted only lower anxiety severity scores (R2 = 0.02; P = .04 [small effect]); differences in remission (odds ratio, 1.76; 95% CI, 0.97-3.18) and global functioning (R2 = 0.01) were reduced to trends (P = . 06 and .08, respectively).
The CAMS treatment condition was not associated with remission, anxiety severity scores, or global functioning at follow-up (P >.05 for all). Post hoc comparisons between the active treatment conditions appear in Table 4. The proportion of CAMELS participants in remission in each active treatment condition were 48.8%, 51.9%, and 45.8% for combination treatment, medication, and CBT, respectively.
Fourteen variables (ie, 6 demographic, 3 parent/family, and 5 clinical) were examined as predictors of remission, anxiety severity, and functioning (Table 4). With respect to demographic variables, male sex significantly predicted remission and lower anxiety severity scores at follow-up; higher SES predicted lower anxiety severity and better functioning at follow-up. Better family functioning predicted remission and lower anxiety severity at follow-up. With respect to youth clinical variables, lower baseline anxiety severity predicted remission, and the absence of baseline externalizing comorbid disorders predicted better functioning at follow-up. Fewer negative life events during the follow-up interval predicted lower anxiety severity and higher functioning. In general, youths who did not receive interim services (psychological therapy and/or medication) between CAMS and CAMELS were more likely to be in remission and had higher global functioning.
To determine the unique contribution of each predictor, all variables (including responder status and treatment condition) were combined into a final model for each outcome. With respect to remission, only better family functioning (P = .02) and male sex (P = .04) were significant predictors; responder status (P = .08), baseline anxiety severity (P = .11), and interim mental health service use (P = .10) were no longer significant predictors of remission. With respect to anxiety severity, only responder status (P = .04) and male sex (P = .007) remained significant predictors; SES (P = .16), family functioning (P = .11), life events (P = .05), and interim mental health service use (P = .14) were no longer significant predictors. In terms of global functioning, responder status (P = .03), absence of baseline externalizing comorbid disorders (P = .02), fewer negative life events (P = .03), and absence of interim medication and/or therapy use (P = .003) remained significant predictors of higher functioning; SES (P = .20) was no longer significant.
Four post hoc analyses were conducted to clarify findings. First, because male sex was a significant predictor of remission and male CAMS participants were less likely than female CAMS participants to participate in CAMELS, rates of CAMELS participation were compared between male CAMS treatment responders and male nonresponders. No significant differences were found (χ21 = 1.45; P = .23).
Second, because published long-term CBT follow-up studies often use "loss of primary anxiety disorder" as the primary outcome (rather than remission or loss of all study entry anxiety disorders) we examined this outcome to facilitate comparisons with published CBT studies. The percentage of youths no longer meeting diagnostic criteria for their primary anxiety disorder in the overall sample was 64.9% (n = 187), slightly higher than remission rates. Responders were more likely to be free of their primary anxiety disorder (odds ratio, 2.58; 95% CI, 1.52-4.40; P < .001); 72.6% of responders and 52.3% of nonresponders lost their primary anxiety diagnosis, and these proportions did not vary by active CAMS treatment condition (ie, 65.9%, 64.6%, and 69.9% in the combination, medication [ie, sertraline], and CBT [ie, Coping Cat treatment] groups, respectively).
Third, because interpretation of the primary analyses may be confounded by interim mental health service use (which was controlled for in all statistical analyses), we examined the primary research aims for those youths who did not receive any interim mental health services (n = 81; overall remission rate, 60.5%). The remission rate for CAMS responders (n = 55) was 63.6% compared with 53.8% for nonresponders (n = 26). The remission rate for each active treatment condition (among youths who had no interim service use) was 65.2% for combination treatment (n = 23), 64.5% for CBT (n = 31), 47.6% for sertraline (n = 21), and (although the sample was small) 66.7% for placebo (n = 6). Results of χ2 tests indicated that these differences were not statistically significant (remission, χ21 = 0.71 [P = .40]; treatment condition, χ23 = 1.98 [P = .58]).
Finally, to check whether nonsignificant results for the primary analyses were due to a lack of statistical power, post hoc power analyses using G*Power22 were carried out with power (1 − β) set at .80 and α at .05. Results revealed that, overall, the sample size was sufficient to detect small to medium effect sizes for all primary analyses; thus, it is unlikely that negative findings can be attributed to a limited sample size.
This study examined the outcomes in youths with anxiety disorders a mean of 6 years after randomization in the CAMS study.4 Although previous studies have examined the long-term (ie, ≥5-year) outcomes in youths receiving CBT, ours is the first to determine the long-term (ie, >1-year) outcomes in anxious youths treated with medication and combination treatment. Our findings revealed that 46.5% of youths with anxiety disorders randomized in the CAMS treatment trial were in remission (ie, did not meet diagnostic criteria for any of the 3 study entry anxiety disorders) at a mean of 6 years after randomization (some may have experienced relapse during the interim but been in remission by the first CAMELS assessment), highlighting both the gains made by some participants and the chronic nature of these disorders for others. Youths showing clinically meaningful improvement after 12 weeks of treatment were more likely to be in remission, had less severe anxiety, and had better functioning than those who showed minimal or no initial clinical improvement. Although the effect size was small, these findings suggest that early clinical improvement provides protection against reoccurrence of anxiety disorders and associated disability. The fact that youths who received any of the 3 active CAMS treatments showed similar outcomes at the present study's naturalistic cross-sectional follow-up suggests that practitioners have multiple treatment options with regard to attaining clinical remission.
It is worth noting that the remission rate for CBT observed in this study was slightly lower than rates reported in the existing literature concerning pediatric CBT for anxiety.5 This finding is in part due to variations in the definitions of remission used across studies (ie, absence of all 3 study entry anxiety disorders vs absence of the primary anxiety disorder), and it may be related to other differences in the treatment-seeking preferences of study samples (eg, more severe anxiety, openness to medication, and treatment seeking at a medical institution). Relative to published data on the 1-year outcomes of medication use, the current rates are also slightly lower.23,24 For instance, in 1 study, the responder rate was 67% for children and adolescents (aged 6-18 years) openly treated with sertraline for 1 year23; however, the definition of responder in that study was less stringent than our criteria for remission. Although adult anxiety treatment studies also vary in methods and in assessment and definition of outcomes, a small 5-year CBT follow-up study of adults with social phobia by Mörtberg et al25 found a 65% remission rate (with remission defined as no longer meeting diagnostic criteria for social phobia based on an interview).
The current study also examined a number of predictors of remission, anxiety severity, and functioning. The most consistent predictors of remission were family functioning (based on parent reports) at baseline and male sex. Specifically, youths whose parents reported that their family had clear rules, more trust, and higher-quality interactions when they entered CAMS were more likely to be in remission at this 6-year follow-up. This finding underscores the importance of families in the emotional adjustment of youth and suggests that a greater focus on enhancing family relations in treatment may enhance the durability of existing treatment approaches for pediatric anxiety. Future studies, however, should include youths' perspectives on family functioning.
Results also revealed that male participants were consistently more likely than female participants to be in remission and have lower anxiety severity scores at 6-year follow-up. The greater risk for female participants parallels sex differences in the rates of anxiety and depressive disorders among older adolescents and adults.2,7 This pattern of heightened risk for female participants was also found in a study examining the long-term outcomes in youths treated for depression.26 Although several reasons for these sex differences have been proposed (eg, gender role orientation, pubertal onset, and related hormones), additional research is needed, and tailored relapse prevention strategies are warranted.
Another demographic predictor of outcomes (ie, lower anxiety severity and better functioning) was higher socioeconomic background. Higher SES is probably a proxy for access to high-quality services that may have helped improve outcomes. A large literature has documented that lower income is a risk factor for psychopathological conditions in general,27,28 and the current data suggest that this pattern is true for anxiety.
Some outcomes were also predicted by certain clinical characteristics of youths at initial presentation for treatment. Youths with lower baseline severity were more likely to be in remission, and those without comorbid externalizing disorders (eg, attention-deficit/hyperactivity and oppositional defiant disorders) had higher functioning, findings that are consistent with other studies.11 Finally, several factors that occurred after acute treatment seem to play a key role in determining outcomes at this 6-year follow-up and are worthy of assessment. Youths who had fewer negative life events (eg, did not report fights with friends, breakups with significant others, or change in parental income status) and participants who did not use mental health services during the follow-up period had better outcomes (eg, lower anxiety severity and higher global functioning). Finally, when all variables were examined together, youths experiencing initial clinical improvement and male participants had the best outcomes at this follow-up assessment.
Findings from this study should be interpreted in the context of several limitations. The most problematic is the use of a naturalistic design. Consequently, although treatments received during the follow-up period were measured and statistically controlled, concomitant treatment use during the follow-up was not restricted and may have affected outcomes. However, the parallel findings based on the exploratory analyses examining youths who received no interim services suggest that interim service use had minimal effect on the pattern of findings (although service use in general was associated with lower remission rates and poorer functioning). Future studies will be needed to examine the effect of specific interim treatments and other events on long-term outcomes. Moreover, the current measure of interim service use was rather crude (use was dichotomized as yes or no) and does not account for duration of treatment, dose, and/or other important aspects of service use. In addition, given the naturalistic design, unmeasured and/or unexamined confounding variables could provide alternative explanations for some of the results. The naturalistic design prohibits claims of causality between CAMS treatments and later outcomes. As in the CAMS trial, there was no formal assessment to determine whether the independent evaluators remained blind, limiting conclusions that can be claimed when comparing blinded and unblinded treatment arms. Finally, the current assessment was cross-sectional, providing only a snapshot of current functioning, and does not provide data on remission or recurrences of illness during the follow-up period.
The CAMELS sample represented only 59.0% of the CAMS sample, and findings may thus be biased (eg, remission rates may be higher or lower). In addition, the CAMELS sample varied from the CAMS sample on several variables, limiting the generalizability of the findings, particularly to male youths and youths from nonwhite and lower-SES backgrounds. The current study also restricted its examination of outcomes to anxiety and global functioning; future reports will examine the onset of substance use, depression, and other disorders that are expected to emerge as the sample ages and enters a high-risk period for these illnesses. Finally, despite the relatively large size of the current sample, effect sizes were generally modest, suggesting that additional variables need to be explored to elucidate predictors of remission and recurrence of anxiety disorders.
In summary, findings from this naturalistic follow-up study indicated that those youths who experienced a positive response to acute treatment for their anxiety disorder, regardless of treatment type, had better outcomes after a mean of 6 years since randomization. However, almost half of these responders relapsed, suggesting the need for more intensive or continued treatment for a sizable proportion of anxious youth. Predictors of remission (eg, male sex and better family functioning) suggest potential targets for intervention and identify risk factors for poorer outcomes related to anxiety disorders.

This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for information.
Goserelin is a synthetic hormone. In men, it stops the production of the hormone testosterone, which may stimulate the growth of cancer cells. In women, goserelin decreases the production of the hormone estradiol (which may stimulate the growth of cancer cells) to levels similar to a postmenopausal state. When the medication is stopped, hormone levels return to normal.

text: Skyway At Roughest of Nickelsville's New Sites, a Strong Sense of Community By Monica Spain • Oct 29, 2013 Monica Spain Listen Listening... / 2:30 What used to be Nickelsville is now three. The homeless encampment split up into three locations—two in the city's Central District and the third in Skyway—after being evicted from city-owned property two months ago. The campsite at Skyway appears to have it the worst in almost every way, but it's also where campers have found unwavering camaraderie.
