Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center - Houston, Texas
VA Physicians Help Draft American Heart Association Guidelines on Vascular Closure Devices
December 29, 2010
"Our goal was to provide an overview of the benefits and risks of vascular closure devices and help guide the physicians as they decide which instrument is best for each procedure and patient," said Hani Jneid, M.D. Interventional Cardiology assistant director (left) pictured with Francia Rojas-Delgado, M.D., Baylor College of Medicine fellow in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center.

HOUSTON – Recommendations on the safety and effectiveness of vascular closure devices have been released by an American Heart Association expert panel made up of physicians and researchers, including two cardiologists from the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC) and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM).
"Each year more than 6 million invasive cardiovascular procedures are performed worldwide, and the majority of these procedures use some type of vascular closure device," said Hani Jneid, M.D., MEDVAMC Interventional Cardiology assistant director. "Many times these devices are overused for certain procedures or used with the purpose of preventing complications. There is no definitive evidence, statement, guidelines to help direct the practicing invasive cardiologists on the use of these devices."
In response to this concern, members of the Council on Clinical Cardiology of the American Heart Association, along with the Council on Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention, and the Council on Peripheral Vascular Disease, worked jointly to objectively and systematically review the existing evidence and provide non-binding guidelines on the use of vascular closure devices.
A set of recommendations was created by this group and outlined in a recent edition of the medical journal Circulation.
"Vascular closure devices are used by invasive cardiologists and vascular surgeons to close the femoral artery after diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular procedures and include a wide range of instruments," said Jneid, who was on the panel and co-authored the statement of recommendations. "As we drafted these recommendations, our goal was to provide an overview of the benefits and risks of these devices and help guide the physicians as they decide which instrument is best for each procedure and patient."
The AHA Statement focuses on when to use the devices to achieve faster clotting and shorter bed rest, and compares their effectiveness with alternative approaches, such as manual compression. It also gives recommendations for the use of these instruments during clinical trials and includes information on how the use of these devices and their complications should be recorded for future reviews.
"Our hope is that these recommendations are considered by doctors to help them enhance patient care," said Jneid, also an assistant professor of medicine and interventional cardiologist at BCM.
The panel also included Glenn N. Levine, M.D., F.A.H.A., MEDVAMC staff cardiologist and BCM professor of medicine in cardiology. Drs. Manesh R. Patel, Colin P. Derdeyn, Lloyd W. Klein, Robert Lookstein, Christopher J. White, Yerem Yeghiazarians, and Kenneth Rosenfield participated on behalf of the American Heart Association Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiac Catheterization Committee of the Council on Clinical Cardiology, Council of Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention, and the Council on Peripheral Vascular Disease.

WORCESTER — Soana LaGuerre kept opening and closing the single sheet of letter-sized white paper she clutched in her hands, looking at the typed script there upon as if she wanted to make sure it hadn't vanished.
On Friday, LaGuerre, a fourth year medical student at the University of Massachusetts Medical School whose family emigrated to Leominster from Haiti when she was six, was waiting for the words "Congratulations, you have matched!" to sink in.
"I'm shaking," LaGuerre, now 26, said as she stood in the middle of the first floor conference room of the medical school's Albert Sherman Center. "I'm so excited, I can't stand still."
LaGuerre was among 121 UMass medical students and thousands nationwide who not only learned that she'd been matched but also where the next phase of her medical schooling would take her. LaGuerre, who will focus on obstetrics and gynecology, will spend her residency time at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, Conn., her first choice.
"I'm the first generation to graduate from an American college, the first in my immediate family to become a doctor. I want to make them proud," she said.
"All my life I've been proud of her. She's a good girl, a nice girl, a respectful girl. She's a doctor," Elizabeth Verna, Soana's mother, said beaming.
The air in the Sherman Center Friday morning was thick with anticipation and hope for the future. As students waited to find out where they'd been matched, some families waited to find out the location of their next home.
When Dr. Michael F. Collins, chancellor of the school, stepped to the middle of the floor at around 11:30 a.m. to call the meeting to order, so to speak, the chattering stopped and the nervous energy took over.
It was Match Day, the annual event when thousands of medical students from across the country learn their residences. Collins said of those at UMass, 60 percent of the graduating students are entering the field of primary care and nearly half the class, 59 students, are staying in Massachusetts. He called this year's matches some of the best.
One by one, 121 students were called up to a small table in the front of the room littered with white, letter-sized envelopes, their names on the front and back. The students smiled as they came to retrieve their envelope, shook the hand that gave it to them and then, per tradition, deposited $1 into a silver gift bag. (The last name called is awarded the kitty, Collins said.)
With future in hand, some held the envelope up to the light in an effort to peak. Others shuffled it back and forth between their hands. They couldn't tear it open until noon. With few seconds to spare, 119 envelopes were handed out (two students were not present), giving Dr. Michael Kneeland, interim associate dean of students affairs, just time enough for a 5 second countdown.
Then it was on. The sound of shredding paper was followed by whoops of laughter and joy; shouts of "My first choice!" and "Where are you going?" echoed through the room. Tears, hugs and congratulatory slaps on the back were plentiful.
"We're going to Boston, baby," were the first words out of Worcester native Michael Richardson's mouth to his wife, Dr. Monica Wang, as he swooped her up into a bear hug after opening his envelope and discovering that he will working at the Carney Hospital in Dorchester. Carney is Richardson's his first choice and one that met all of the criteria on his rank list.
Richardson, who is passionate about public health and wants to work in the community, is entering family medicine so he can treat the patient and help the person. His match with Carney is perfect, he said, as the hospital is actively involved in the community and is working to "really challenge medicine and primary care."
Richardson, an alumnus of St. John's High School in Shrewsbury, said he shares the hospital's philosophy in trying to find the joy in medicine, the balance between patient care and doctor well-being. He supports Carney's efforts to make doctors leaders in the community.
"He was determined, focused on what he wanted to do," said Mike Richardson, Michael's father. "I just want him to live his life. To see this in our family is great."
In the middle of a small group next to the Richardsons, Alicia Alterio exclaimed, "I'm going to Brown! I'm going to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence! I'm so excited!" Barely able to contain the emotions buzzing through her body, the Holbrook native and Clark University alumna who loves to work with her hands will be practicing general surgery.
"She has been working up to this point for four years. She's extraordinary. We're walking on air right now," Nancy Alterio said of her daughter, the first doctor in the family.
"We're very, very proud of her," added Rudy Alterio, Alicia's brother, who continuously reminded her to breathe throughout the morning.

The MPAA and RIAA just added another legal weapon to their arsenal when President Bush signed the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property (PRO-IP) Act into law. We all lose as consumers, and again as investors.
The facts
It's hard to please Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) wasn't strict enough, and the No Electronic Theft Act (NET) too toothless, though together they turned millions of ordinary citizens into underground felons. The PRO-IP bill removes a few pesky requirements like filing a correct copyright claim, and now the court can impound your computer if you're under investigation for intellectual property issues. Public Knowledge spokesman Art Brodsky points out why this is bad for the common people: "Let's suppose that there's one computer in the house, and one person uses it for downloads and one for homework. The whole computer goes," he told Reuters.
Now, PRO-IP isn't entirely evil. It also makes life harder for counterfeiters and for those who profit from illegal imports and exports. The pharmaceutical industry loves it, and so do Detroit's auto parts manufacturers. I'd much rather have real, FDA-vetted prescription pills from Pfizer (NYSE: PFE ) or Merck (NYSE: MRK ) than some unknowable concoction sold under the real drug name by fly-by-night pirates. And I'd rather have an Autoliv (NYSE: ALV ) airbag in my car than a rebranded helium balloon attached to a bicycle pump. There's a time and a place to clamp down on copyright, patent, and trademark enforcement.
We, the people
But the entertainment industry is a major backer here, and many provisions seem custom-designed to catch digital pirates. As much as I love my Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS ) investment and the great entertainment the company has created over the years, it's also part of a boneheaded industry that can't deal with the digital revolution.
The Supreme Court has long held the opinion that intellectual property laws should work to the "benefit [of] the public or community at large" rather than the "exclusive profit or advantage" of inventors and creators. The point was to create a framework to get us to invent and create more -- not a way to protect corporate interests at every turn.
"Hippie! Commie pinko! Go back to your commune!"
Hold your horses there, cowboy. I am still an investor writing for investors. Disney, Warner Music (NYSE: WMG ) , and their colleagues could handle rampant piracy in a much more delicate manner and turn today's massive problem into free distribution and dirt cheap marketing. Yes, there are ways to make money when others copy your dearly beloved content for free. The PRO-IP Act is a step in exactly the wrong direction, though.
The House of Mouse seemed to be on the right track two years ago, when ABC president Anne Sweeney had an epiphany. A meeting room full of ABC executives were shocked to see a commercial-free DVD with the previous night's Desperate Housewives finale, and "the implications hit us hard. So we understand piracy now as a business model. It exists to serve a need in the marketplace to, specifically, consumers who want TV content on demand," she said, "and it competes for consumers the same way we do -- through high quality, price, and availability."
Fight fire with fire. So people like pirated movies and free MP3 downloads because they're free (or cheap) and because they're often available long before the legal copies hit the streets? OK. Give away your best content online, then. Wrap it up in money-making advertisements and ask for a reasonable subscription fee to skip the commercials. Or find other, even more convenient content channels: My cable box gives me access to this week's Housewives from ABC or last night's CSI from CBS (NYSE: CBS ) with a few button pushes on the remote. General Electric (NYSE: GE ) is lagging a bit, so we have to wait a while for a fresh Heroes episode. ABC is following through on Sweeney's vision, but the left hand is clearly not on speaking terms with the right hand.
That, my friends, is the way to go. Make it easy, make it cheap, and make it good, and we'll all flock to the screen, or the radio, or the rock show, in droves. Scare tactics like suing the pants off your biggest fans? That's the real anti-American road that should be less taken. How are we supposed to invest in innovators when they're not allowed to compete fairly against the big boys?
Thanks a lot, Prez. You just helped corporate bullies to press "pause" on the future. Again.

No matter how difficult our relationships can be, most adult children want a good relationship with their mothers. Whether your relationship is great, terrible, or somewhere in between, mother-daughter relationships are powerful and partially define who we are. The more you work through issues with your mom, the better all your other relationships will be. Here are a few simple tips to help you develop a more meaningful relationship with mom.
Learn who you are first: Having a great relationship with mom doesn't mean you lose who you are in the process. It is just the opposite. The more you define who you are, the better you can be with her without becoming defensive or constantly needing her approval, not because someone else thinks you should or is pressuring you to change. Once you have a better sense of yourself, you are open to being more empathetic, can listen better, and can focus on who she is as a person. The goal is to develop your own self while staying connect to this all important person.
Stay in touch. No matter if she is good or poor at communication, check in regularly and value the relationship. You can't build a meaningful relationship with anyone unless there is regular and intentional contact. And it needs to be in person when possible. Take the time and be intentional about staying in touch.
Have a child of your own: A big equalizing factor for many adult daughters is when they have a child of their own, particularly if that child is a girl. Having a child or children of your own usually creates more empathy for the job. When an adult daughter begins to grasp what her mother went through and how really tough parenting can be, it usually leads to more grace, forgiveness and acceptance. And often we see another side of our moms once they become a grandparent.
Build biblical foundation: Build your mother-daughter relationship on principles in God's Word. Although the oneness we had with our moms before birth is the closest to oneness with God, human relationships will always have flaws. A daughter's yearning for intimacy and closeness is ultimately one that only God can truly satisfy. Look for the expressions of God's love outlined in 1 Corinthians 13 as we mother and are mothered. Love opens up possibilities. Because of love, we can and should find a way to honor and connect with our moms.
When it comes to a couple's sex life, what is normal? Twice a week, once a month, every day?" The answer depends on a number of factors, making a pat answer difficult. Things like medications, caretaking young children, taking antidepressants, and more affect a person's sexual desire.
I laugh at the scene in the movie, Annie Hall, where the therapist asks the couple Alvy and Annie (played by Woody Allen and Diane Keaton) about how often they have sex. Alvy answers, "Hardly ever. Maybe three times a week." Annie answers, "Constantly. I'd say three times a week." This funny moment speaks to the way men and women think about having sex.
The key for most couples isn't about having the same sex drive or being in sync with each other every time desire is felt. It is about negotiation the times when one initiates and the other refuses. What is usually needed is each spouse making an effort to meet the other's need. Michele Weiner Davis in her book, The Sex-Starved Marriage, says that a reluctant spouse can make a decision for desire. That when couples prioritize their sex life and put energy into it by flirting, complimenting and being nice, things go better. In fact, many partners who are not in the mood, get in the mood with a little prompting. The key is to stay open and receptive.
So, the most important thing to remember is not what is normal in terms of frequency, but how satisfied you are as a couple with your sex life. Dissatisfaction and disconnection can lead to problems and should be discussed. Sexual difficulties can be triggered by physical, emotional or even stress problems. Thus, getting to the root of dissatisfaction is important. Things like busyness, boredom, childhood trauma, stress reactions, aging and a host of other issues can lead to sexual difficulties and become points of contention.
Couples are often hesitant to bring up the subject of their sex lives even when both may be dissatisfied. However, it is important to start talking, sleep in the same bed together, show physical affection to each other during nonsexual times and make time for intimacy. If you find yourself unable to make changes or even have a conversation about your sex life, consider getting professional help from a therapist who specializes in sex therapy. Doing nothing only continues the dissatisfied and puts the marriage at risk.
Reader Question: My son is two and half and is beginning to stutter. Up until now, he has been a good talker. But when he gets excited, we've noticed he stutters, like his brain can't catch up to his mouth. We are not sure how to handle this and wonder if we should seek help.
It is common for kids to stutter between the ages of two and three. The key is to determine whether your son has what is called, "transient dysfluency of childhood" which typically goes away, or is a true stutterer. The majority of kids who begin to stutter will stop because they are not true stutterers. When they get excited, they can be tired, angry, or upset and can't quite get the words out right away. They do more fumbling over words rather than having an actual problem getting the words out. This is due to the rapid development a child experiences in his verbal abilities at this age. And as you put it, his brain doesn't keep up with the pace of his talking.
Stuttering tends to run in families and affects more boys than girls. Current thinking is that it is a speech disorder that has genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers. It is not a physical or psychological disorder, but considered a developmental disorder. However, if your child is a stutterer, the earlier you treat, the better. So talk to your pediatrician and engage a speech therapist. A speech therapist can be very helpful in term of treating your child and helping you respond in a relaxed and supportive way.
Pay attention to whether or not the stuttering bothers or upsets your son. Also notice if it occurs in situations other than when he is excited or anxious.
Does his pitch change and is he struggling to get words out?
Are his repetitions long and frequent?
Does he block words and sounds?
Does he avoid saying difficult words?
These are just a few observations to make. The Stuttering Foundation of America has materials that can help you determine if you need help or you can consult a speech-language pathologist for an evaluation. To find a speech-language pathologist, call your school and ask for help. Schools provide free speech therapy to children as young as three years of age.
Reader Question: My eight–year-old daughter constantly interrupts when I am talking with another adult. I have told her to stop a thousand times and she continues. What can I do to stop this? I feel it is rude to interrupt adults.
I agree. It is rude and your daughter needs to learn to wait for her turn. Part of the problem is that you keep telling her and she continues to get your attention. It is your attention that keeps her doing more of the same. Your words do not mean much.
So, here is what I suggest. First, let her know that interruptions are only OK if there is an emergency. Review what might be considered an emergency so she is clear on what constitutes an emergency.
Other times, her interruptions will be ignored and she will need to practice waiting until mom calls on her. Then, tell her that when she tries to interrupt you when talking to another adult, you will ignore her by not looking at her or answering her. Create a hand signal between the two of you to use as a reminder. This can be a raised finger or hand, but don't give her eye contact. Show her the hand signal and practice. Do a role-play and ask her to interrupt like she usually does. Show her what will happen now.
When using ignoring, you cannot attend to her at all. This means do not talk to her, look at her or ask her to wait. Completely ignore and use the agreed upon signal. After a few times of you sticking to your guns and not attending to the interruption (you can tell the adult you are talking to what you are doing if feel this is necessary), she will eventually give up and stop interrupting. The reason this strategy doesn't "work" is because parents attend to the child in some small way rather than completely ignoring. It only takes a look or a word to give attention and reinforce interrupting. Therefore, you have to be committed to the ignoring strategy and not give in to her persistance.

So here is the dilema. When I send a skype message to a contact that is online on their Android phone, sometimes I get a spinning icon for long periods of time. My assumption is that although they are online and the skype app is running in the background, they have not entered skype, and therefore not actually received/downloaded the message?
Am i correct? My assumption is based on the idea that I never get a reply to a message until after the spinning icon has dissapeared. ie: that have not seen it yet.
To avoid confusion, I guess the most specific question is... Does an skype contact online on their phone, actually have to view your conversation, before the spinning icon will dissapear from my screen. yes or no?
Any help, opinions will be appreciated. Thanks

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Playing down to its competition is becoming a nasty habit for Mississippi State.
For the fourth time this season, the No. 23-ranked Bulldogs were subdued by an opponent that, on paper at least, was inferior. Thanks in large part to its worst shooting game of the season, MSU (15-4, 3-1 SEC) fell to Alabama, 62-57, before a crowd of 12,336 at Coleman Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
State hit just 2 of 18 – 11.1 percent – from 3-point range and 31.7 percent overall. And yet, it was a one-point game, at 58-57, after a Phil Turner putback with 19 seconds left.
After a pair of Alabama free throws, though, senior guard Barry Stewart stepped out of bounds and gave it back with 7.3 seconds left, and that was the ballgame.
"That's the way the ball falls sometimes," said Stewart, who scored a team-high 13 points on 3-of-10 shooting. "But (despite) poor shooting, we're still in the game. You've got to give us credit for that."
Stewart was not alone in his masonry work. Center Jarvis Varnado was 4 of 14 from the field and scored nine points, while Dee Bost was 3 of 13 and tallied 10.
Ravern Johnson, who entering the game was shooting 47 percent from 3-point range, was 0 of 2 from deep and scored 10 points.
MSU's first 3-point make came from Phil Turner with 9:12 left in the game, and then Stewart hit one in what was part of a 14-0 run that gave the Bulldogs a 48-46 advantage with 7:35 to go.
"Right there is where you've got to finish a team," MSU coach Rick Stansbury said.
Alas, Alabama then went on a 10-1 spurt sparked by 3-pointers from former ICC All-American Anthony Brock and Mikhail Torrance, who led the Crimson Tide (12-7, 2-3) with 20 points and made 4 of 8 from downtown.
MSU closed the gap and had a chance to take the lead when Bost drove toward the basket with under a minute remaining. He lost the ball, and Alabama preserved a 56-55 lead.
Bost said he was fouled.
"Dude smacked my arm, but the ref looked directly at me and he was like, 'Nah, no foul.' I said, 'All right.' "
Alabama knocked MSU on its heels from the start and raced to a 12-2 lead, and the gap eventually widened to 24-13. State closed it to 27-26 by halftime, despite being 0 of 8 from 3-point range and 9 of 31 overall.
"How many times did we drive it and come out with empty plays? That's what I'm talking about, empty plays," Stansbury said.
The Bulldogs' first lead came on two Stewart free throws with 17:55 left, making it 30-29.
JaMychal Green scored 18 points for Alabama, which shot 34.9 percent from the floor and 31.6 from 3-point range.
State had just entered the AP rankings this past week, but with another bad loss – the others have come against mid-majors Rider, Richmond and Western Kentucky – it will no doubt fall right back out.
Up next is a road trip to Arkansas on Thursday.

Every robo-call company has my home number, my cell number, and if the campaign were only a couple of weeks longer, I think I would be getting singing telegrams from the presidential candidates. Two billion dollars raised by the super-pac bundlers. –Kind of makes you wonder just how much power is in the Oval Office– a flavor of power not imagined when our forefathers signed The Constitution.
But my gut tells me about something else we had better watch on election night.
And you see the stress in faces everywhere. Many are out of a job. Others have relatives who are hurting. Some have even quit looking for a job. It might be getting just a tad better in some industries, but there are still lay-offs in Tennessee. More were announced just a few days ago.
Some Americans believe we are on the right course, and no change is needed. Others believe there has to be change in leadership, or our nation is a goner. My experience tells me the truth is probably somewhere between those two ends of the political stick.
But my gut tells me about something else we had better watch on election night.
Watch Congress. When members are giving up their seats and going home- frustrated with the gridlock, and others say they've never seen such divisiveness. When for the first time in more than a half century there is no defense appropriations bill, and when our nation has skittered along with no budget for four years…. Friends, those are indications that something bad is brewing. Political stalemate because of a lack of statesmanship. A mindset where members of Congress are so afraid the opposing party will gain an inch… they're prepared to ensure entire, important work goes into the dustbin.
A prayer or two for our nation might be in order.
Other lawmakers are so intoxicated with their so-called advancement in societal legislation that they say "no time to read it, just pass it." I wouldn't buy a washing machine like that, yet we are betting that all of the bases have been covered for deep changes in medical care that won't break the nation.
Lincoln's presidency was probably the last where people off the street could come to the office, and ask for an appointment. The curent, leather suspendered assistants would probably think it's a huge waste of time for our president and members of Congress. But I think perhaps one day a week, listening to the woman trying to feed her family, the farmer up all night working to keep his equipment operating because he cannot afford replacements, or the cop who works an extra job, or , or, and or a thousand or a million similar stories.
So I can't be objective, but I have to be fair. And to that end I lay blame for both sides, all sides.
Watch how our Congress shapes up. Watch how they deal with the perfect storm of looming debt, spending, care for our aging population, and concern for the burden left our children and grandchildren. Let's see if the campaign robo promises will be kept. Of if all of that talk was just so much bandwidth at dinnertime.
A prayer or two for our nation might be in order.

If youve purchased pants recently, you may have noticed they have an adjustable or expandable waist. Some mens pants include up to 2 extra inches to allow you to flex or move more freely. Womens pants might have elastic hidden in the waist band for extra stretch. While these pants are designed to be comfortable, they could be making you fat!
Most adults gain weight as they age, typically a slow process that may not be noticeable. If you have pants with a 2-inch expandable waist, you could easily gain weight while still wearing the same pants size. In fact, you could gain 2 inches of fat around your waist before you noticed. For many people, tight-fitting pants are a signal that they may have gained weight. By wearing pants with an expandable waist, you are missing that cue, and you could easily gain 5 to 10 pounds or more without noticing it.
This might sound like a minor issue, but these cues are important in helping us recognize weight gain. For example, a man puts on his favorite suit for the first time in over a year to find the pants are too tight. Immediately he realizes he has gained weight since he last wore the suit. Imagine, though, if his suit pants stretched to accommodate his larger waist. He might still think, since the pants fit perfectly, he hasnt gained weight.
This is important since people typically gain weight little by little over time, which may not be appreciated without these external cues. One way to prevent surprise weight gain is to weigh yourself regularly so you can make adjustments to your diet and activity to prevent further weight gain. In fact, the majority of the successful losers in the National Weight Control Registry, a group who has lost an average of more than 66 pounds and kept it off for more than 6 years, weigh themselves at least once a week.
This is also why people who lose weight should get rid of their fat clothes. Typically, these clothes get pushed to the back of the closet. But they are still readily available, so when the person regains some of the weight, it is easy to reach further back for a larger size when the smaller clothes in the front no longer fit. If those clothes had been packed away in a box in the attic, retrieving and unpacking them would be a noticeable sign that they had gained weight and may motivate them to get back on their diet.
Even small changes to our diet and activity patterns can lead to weight gain over time. Since this weight gain can often go unnoticed, it is important that we pay attention to external cues. The way our clothes fit is one such reminder, but there are others. Do you notice that you feel more out of breath doing routine activities, like climbing a flight of stairs? This is a sign that your fitness may be declining and that it is time to start exercising. These cues are easy to ignore, but they are important signs that it is time to make changes to our diet and activity. Remember, it is far easier to prevent weight gain or to stay fit than it is to lose weight or get in shape.

I wanted to add a question: how can I trick my body into using my fat reserves - how can I make my body know that a famine is not in the future?
I am breastfeeding my 7-month old baby and after 3-4 months postpartum, I could not and still cannot lose any more weight, no matter what I do. I eat according to Weston A. Price and recently PB principles and the scale and measuring tapes won't budge. My body fat percentage is 24.9% and I used to be about 19% before pregnancy. I tried turbo exercising and then I took a 3-week break from exercising, except for light walking and Iyengar yoga. I am now doing Primal fitness with no results. I know that some people say you won't lose weight until you stop breastfeeding (which I don't plan to do until my daughter is 2 years old) because your body wants to hang on to fat for your breastmilk in case of famine times. However, why do I have so many breastfeeding friends that have lost all their baby weight and more? They eat whatever they want and hardly exercise. What am I doing wrong? I will add that I am hypothyroid and taking dessicated porcine thyroid, but even that doesn't help!
What am I doing wrong? I can't imagine maintaining this body weight until my baby weans from the breast! I have no clothes that fit me and don't want to buy a new wardrobe. Help!
I wanted to add a question: how can I trick my body into using my fat reserves - how can I make my body know that a famine is not in the future?
I am breastfeeding my 15 month old and am hanging on to weight also. I know where you are coming from with not wanting to buy a whole new wardrobe. I stopped loosing weight at about 2 months postpartum and kept it all on pretty much until a few months ago when I went primal. I just figured that it was more important for me to breastfeed my son and be fat than for him to eat formula and me probably still be fat. I don't know if this helps you but the weight WILL come off eventually it just takes some time. Have you seen the website http://theshapeofamother.com/ This is a beautiful website that really helped me be at peace with my body.
Also, how long have you been primal? Are you eating enough fat? I went primal on March 7th so I have not been doing this very long at all but within the 2 months I lost 18 pounds but the first 2 weeks I did not lose weight because I wasn't eating enough fat.
I have been eating high fat, moderate protein, lower carb - (probably still at 150g) all through third trimester and postpartum. I probably take in about 120-220 grams of fat per day according to my food logs on Fitday.com. I now eat less than 100g carbs a day. I have been doing the less than 100g for about two weeks with no weight-loss results. My fat comes from bacon, raw butter, heavy cream, cheese, grass-fed beef, dark meat free-range poultry, some raw whole milk, etc. I have been eating according to Weston A. Price principles for about 4 months - they emphasize all traditional foods, high fat, cod liver oil, etc. I probably eat an average of 2300 calories a day and according to my BMR, which includes a calculation for breastfeeding, I should eat 2700 calories to maintain my weight.
What constitutes enough fat?
It looks like your eating enough fat to me but I have only been doing this for a few months so maybe someone else can chime in, but it looks like enough. You could try cutting out all dairy, a lot of people say it helps them lose the weight. Do you like coconut? When I eat coconut milk or coconut oil I know the weight comes off a lot faster. You can also try fasting, I thought I would DIE without eating every 5 hours, but now I do 2 24 hour fasts a week, it makes me feel great! When I was pregnant my midwife had me eating ever hour to stop the morning sickness (it worked) so for me to go a whole day without eating was wonderful and freeing! And it has not messed with my milk supply at all.
It's been a long time since i breastfed (my youngest is 14 :-) ) but I didn't lose weight until I stopped each time. Then an instant 15-20pounds just dropped off. Some of that is just personal body differences. Some people's bodies hang onto that weight naturally, some people don't. It was probably a very healthy thing to be able to keep that fat on for longer without much maintenance back in the day... not that that makes you feel any better!
I'll let the other currently breastfeeding primals jump in on the specifics, but I'm thinking that maybe you might hit the same roadblocks that non-breastfeeding women around here do. One is dairy. For some of us dairy stops weight loss cold. For some, not so much... so that's a possibility.
Also, just wondering how you're calculating your BMR. A few hundred calories off there might be a difference, too. (Not that I'm saying it's wrong at all, just a possibility. I know my BMR is supposedly 1600 resting according to the machine at the doctor's but I'm not all that sure about the accuracy of that as well.)
Just a couple of thoughts...
"Boy I got vision and the rest of the world is wearing bifocals" - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
I was similarly confused when I actually gained weight on this diet protocol. I had a feeling it had to do with breastfeeding, but I'm not so sure now.
I can share with you some things that I think are helping me. I made some mistakes and learned from them. I'm breastfeeding my two year old boy (still quite often), and I just found out I have hashimoto's. The second month into the change in diet from gluten free to grain and sugar free I suddenly gained 10 pounds in one month. I've been experimenting with how to loose that weight (which was fat, not muscle), and I think I've discovered some things you might want to think about.
At first, I was baking and eating a lot of nut flour breads and cakes. I was also eating tons of protein, way more than I needed. I was also eating tons of homemade yoghurt and fruit smoothies: so basically I was not tracking on FitDay. I've learned:
-I can't handle nuts at all. I over eat them, and they make me feel, well, just weird. No nuts.
-On a similar note, there was a need to balance out my omega 3s and 6s.
-Fruit makes me feel similarly weird and out of control. So no fruit at all.
-I learned that I should be keeping my protein to around 100g per day.
-I can skip breakfast when I'm not hungry.
-Yoghurt I'm still experimenting with, but it feels nourishing and I really enjoy eating it.
-I can't have cream (surprisingly), because it makes me fuzzy in the head and my vision goes blurry. (This was explained to me by my acupuncturist as a symptom of spleen qi dampness, which translates into having trouble digesting sugar and high fat dairy-other explanations welcome, I can still handle butter)
-I need to sprint, get my endorphins going once or twice a week. My knees prefer the stationary bike sprints.
-Yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga! Lowers cortisol. 2 times per week.
-Obviously, for me, Hashimoto's is a factor. Don't rule out a change in your hormone replacement needs.
-Vitamin D3 1000iu per 25 pounds of body weight makes me feel much stronger and wanting to pump some iron.
-The most IMPORTANT: Learning to love myself: Being very, very gentle! Taking stress out of my life. No guilt. Reconnect with nature. Do things I LOVE everyday, things that nourish me other than food. And patience.
After 3 months, after all this experimenting, I'm finally seeing results in the mirror. I refuse to weigh myself until I'm absolutely sure I won't be disappointed.
Good luck, and I hope some of this helps you!
I really appreciate everyone's comments and personal stories. I have tried dairy-free and gluten-free simultaneously and didn't lose a single pound. I really like dairy and it doesn't seem to affect me negatively, so I will continue. I am gluten-free for sure. I think the fasts could work, but I'm skeptical because won't my body hold onto fat because it senses famine? Also, I'm afraid of it stopping milk production, but I guess I could try it one day and see what happens.
Fern - you fast two days a week? My baby is not eating solids yet, so I need to have ample milk production. I just purchased a fenugreek supplement because I was thinking of taking that while I fast. I used to do 7-10 day juice fasts pre-pregnancy and I felt great, but maybe that set my metabolism up for failure now because it doesn't want me to do that again?
I don't know. I'm so confused because I am hypothyroid too, but my porcine thyroid supplements make me have heart palpitations at only 30mg a day.
Ultimately I know being 10-15 pounds overweight is less important than my baby's health, but it is frustrating.
From skimming this thread it seems to me that breastfeeding mother's cannot lose weight - which is probably a good thing from an evolutionary perspective. Someone else may be able to confirm whether this is so.
But if so I recommend you hold off worrying about losing weight until you stop breastfeeding.

Jefferson basketball standout Terrence Jones still has a lot of choices to sort through prior to the NCAA's early signing period.
Jones, rated as the No. 13 senior in the country by Scout.com, still has seven schools on his list: Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, Kansas, Kentucky, Arizona and UCLA, according to high school coach Pat Strickland.
"Terrence wants to sign his letter-of-intent in November but he may be behind the eight-ball a bit because he still has seven schools," Strickland said.
Jones departed Thursday for his official visit to Oklahoma. Next week, he has scheduled a visit to Washington. The week after that he'll go to Arizona or Kansas. On Oct. 28, he goes to Kentucky, with an unofficial visit to Oregon three days later. The last visit planned is UCLA on Nov. 6.
The early signing period for high school athletes to sign letters-of-intent is Nov. 11-18.
Meanwhile, Strickland has been trying to build a national-caliber schedule for Jefferson, aiming to showcase Jones and other players on the team.
Jefferson has been invited to play at the prestigious City of Palms Tournament in Florida. And there is also discussion about playing against Kentwood (Wash.), home of Josh Smith, another of the nation's top players. That game could land on ESPN, Strickland said.
However, Jefferson faces some scheduling challenges in order to make it happen.
Already, the Democrats have games scheduled against Long Beach Poly (Calif.) and Castlemont of Oakland. In addition, Jefferson could play highly ranked teams at the Les Schwab Invitational.

If you have been searching for that perfect place for a weekend brunch, definitely hit up No4 Blake street – I guarantee it won't let you down.
Located on Blake Street in North Perth, this cafe-come-restaurant is everything you want in casual dining, breakfast, lunch or dinner. No4 Blake Street features a modern and original menu that foodies about town will rejoice in, as well as funky, fresh decor, a great atmosphere and to top it off friendly but not over the top customer service.
Having read quite a few glowing reviews about No4 Blake Street on various Perth food blogs, I now understand what all the fuss is about. For my lunch on this sunny but cold Sunday, I had the Breakfast Bruschetta, which featured smashed avocado and grilled tomato on toasted sour dough, topped with rocket and goats cheese curd. This came with a side of two poached eggs and I paired the meal with a creamy soy latte – all in all, a perfect casual Sunday lunch.
I kind of already knew I was going to order this beauty before I arrived, as I follow a Perth Instagram account called @bitchezwhobrunch, who featured this divine looking creation a few days earlier. While this meal is actually on the breakfast menu, lucky for me customers can order from this menu at lunchtime on weekends, so the meal I had been eying off was all mine, and it was just as delicious and as incredible as I'd hoped.
No4 Blake Street was just fabulous from the get-go to the last bite of my meal and I will definitely be going back soon.

In the video, he talks about how he didn't learn he was drafted until the next morning, due to flight delays. He also briefly touches on how he came to play at UMass, and how he was too tall to play soccer. I'm not sure how relevant that last line of questioning was, but it's all good.
Lasme will play on the Warriors' Summer League team, which begins competition in Las Vegas Saturday afternoon. (All the Summer League games can be seen on NBA TV or webcast, schedule here.) Speaking on what he hopes to accomplish in Summer League, Lasme says, "I think the Summer League is just going to prove to the coaches that I'm good enough to play on the team." NBA TV will televise the Golden State v s. Philadelphia game on Monday July 9 at 8:00 PM.
As for the Golden State fans' reaction to Lasme, well most attention has been directed elsewhere, towards former Tarheel Brandan Wright and a possible trade for Kevin Garnett. Apparently he is he looking to leave Minnesota. I hadn't heard!
So Lasme is continuing to fly under the radar, but over at the message board Warriors World, one fan summed it up succinctly: "Crowd favorite. Book it."
I like the sound of that.

Syracuse, NY -- Apple's iPad 2 tablet computer is here... Almost. The beefed-up device -- gyroscope, front and back cameras, long battery life, blah, blah Apple rocks -- goes on sale at 5 p.m.
Just after 2:30 p.m. today, more than 100 people were waiting in line to buy the device (only two to a customer starting at $499 a pop) at the Apple store at Carousel Center mall, according to Rob Schoeneck, general manager of Carousel Center. The store closes at 4 p.m. to prep for the sale, then reopens at 5.
Apple and analysts expect big numbers for the iPad 2. The company sold some 15 million of the original iPad in only nine months.
Here are some links regarding the iPad 2:

Lane restrictions are taking effect today on Route 22 West at the Easton-Phillipsburg Toll Bridge, more than a week earlier than expected.
This winter's prolonged cold snaps and periodic short-term thawing have deteriorated the road to the point that repair work needs to start immediately, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission said.
"Engineers have determined that a portion of the roadway in the toll plaza area sustained 'accelerated deterioration' due to this winter's extreme Polar Vortex-induced" freezing and thawing, the commission said in a news release this afternoon.
The long-term single-lane westbound travel restriction takes effect before the toll plaza. Vehicles will be funneled through while one of the toll lanes is taken out of service for repairs as part of the commission's ongoing nearly $30 million rehabilitation of the bridge and nearby infrastructure.
"Motorists using Route 22 westbound should expect to encounter backups and delays during the evening peak driving period -- 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. -- today and for every day going forward," the commission said in the release.
The commission said it sought to inform drivers of the sudden change through its Twitter account (@22tollbridge), New Jersey's 511nj.org travel-alert system and variable message signs along Route 22 West.
Also today, the commission announced the start Thursday of a nine-month-long prohibition on the Route 22 toll bridge for trucks classified as oversized vehicles or permit loads.
"Additionally, the commission is urging all truckers to avoid driving through the project area altogether during peak commuting times because of anticipated travel delays, traffic congestion and the project area's tight roadway geometry," the commission said in a news release.
This is the second year of the bridge project.
Construction activities for 2014 began Tuesday night, marking the start of temporary lane closures limited primarily eastbound to overnight hours on the toll bridge and adjoining portions of Route 22.
Starting around March 16, lane closures are scheduled to go in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week eastbound and westbound. The restrictions are scheduled to continue into December.

A kidnapping charge was dismissed today against a sex offender in an April incident in Bethlehem, court records show.
Miguel Rodriguez Jr., 26, of the 900 block of North New Street in Bethlehem, still faces charges of interference with child custody and possession of a small amount of marijuana.
District Judge Roy A. Manwaring II at Rodriguez's preliminary hearing today bound those charges over for Northampton County Court, where Rodriguez will face trial unless a plea is entered or the case is disposed of in another way.
Rodriguez remained today in Northampton County Prison in lieu of 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
Police found Rodriguez with a 4-year-old boy who was missing for three hours in Bethlehem on April 1, court papers say.
Essie Rockmore called police after she couldn't find her son and said he was last seen on West Ettwein Street playing with Rodriguez.
Rodriguez, who is registered under Megan's Law, was making "excited utterances" when police arrested him and told police he "blacked out" from drinking too much and woke up with the boy in his custody, according to court documents.
Police found a small amount of marijuana on Rodriguez after a search, records say.
Rodriguez was released from prison less than a month before the incident. He served six years after 2008 charges of indecent assault of a child under 13 years old and corruption of minors.
Calls for comment today to Rodriguez's attorney, James Connell, and to Northampton County Assistant District Attorney Pat Broscius were not immediately returned.


text: With all the insider scoop today that Trestman and staff are gone who should the candidates be. For kicks Emery status is now questionable so who is available. Many GM's may not want to come to Chicago per reports and if Emery hires a new HC he needs an extension to match the new regime or will Phil and Ted be relieved and re-assigned respectively. I would love to see a re-organization and a President of football operations brought on board. I doubt that will happen thus the same questions regarding Phillips ability to bring in a GM looms. Thus I presume Emery will survive and probably get the extension to secure a HC and staff to be interested. Typically they bring in both Offense and Defensive minded coaches. Defense Rex Ryan Offense Jim Harbaugh Who else should be considered. One of each please.

Sultan High School decided a day wasn't long enough for U.S. veterans. They used the whole week before Veterans' Day to recognize and support the troops.
On Monday, Nov. 4, ribbon pins were handed out to students to be worn through Veterans' Day.
The next day, stars were supplied to students. On the stars, the students could write the names of loved ones who had served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces to display on lockers.
Wednesday brought a magazine drive. All collected magazines were to be sent to troops overseas.
On Thursday, Sweet Indulgence collected all the candy students brought to the school to send to troops.
The culmination of the week-long celebration was Friday, Nov. 8, when the Turks took to the stadium to run a full marathon, 26.2 miles, while carrying the American flag. The goal was to offer a symbolic gesture of support for all of the troops who have carried such a flag throughout the world on behalf of U.S. citizens.
Following the final reverberations of Taps, played by trumpet player Jazmine Morgan in the courtyard at the start of the day, the American flag was carried to the Turk Stadium by students Nicholas Heiberg and Tyler Roufs. They were accompanied by Dave Sivewright, known locally as "The Highway 2 Freedom Runner."
Upon arriving at the field, the flag began its journey around the track. Throughout the day students ran a mile before handing off to the next student, which kept the colors in continuous movement for almost five hours. PE students jogged along in support and the entire day was broadcast live via Turk TV.

From the Race Director!
What a beautiful September Sunday it was to run, walk, or both for a good community cause! The 2012 Miles 4 Mileage (M4M) event raised over $5,500 towards supporting volunteerism in Clackamas County. We had over 155 participants register for this year's Miles 4 Mileage event. That is over double the number of participants from last year!
Thank You
all participant funds will make "strides" towards supporting the transportation of homebound seniors and people with disabilities to get to essential, and in many cases, life sustaining medical appointments and errands. Thank you to all the M4M participants for making the difference not only for this event but for those individuals who receive our life sustaining services. The funds will also support our RSVP volunteers serving at 30+ local non-profits! We were honored to have a diverse group of participants including competitive racers, families with children, and individuals with strollers and wheel chairs.
Race Times
Want to know your time? Compliments of Clackamas Community College Athletics are the attached race results. One attachment is the 5K results and the other is the 10K results. Thank you to all the Clackamas Community College Student Athletes who were out there volunteering their time to be manning the course.
This was only the second year of the Miles 4 Mileage event and as we continue to grow the event we truly appreciate all our community supporters and sponsors. Please help us continue to grow and improve this event by completing a quick survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8RJ2HKR
We had a number of M4M teams this year. The participants of Team Fred Meyer Jewelers, Team Aeroteck, Team Clackamas Credit Union, Team Let's Get Moving!, Team Department of Employee Services, Team HACC Walking Authorities, Team I was told there would be cake, Team MRC, Team SCP, Team SHIBA, Team TRP, Team Linda, Team Mueller, Team Platapus, and Team Snook all seemed to enjoy their group camaraderie. Some teams even crossed the finish line all together!
Clackamas County Employees
We had a significant amount of Clackamas County 10K finishers! Out of the 37 participants who finished the 10K race, about 50% of them were Clackamas County Employees. All together 39 Clackamas County Employees crossed the finish line! That means Steve will be generously donating an addition $290. Thank you and way to go Clackamas County Employees! Look for an upcoming email announcing the Clackamas County Employee Challenge individual and team winners.

From a Runner's Perspective- By Lindsey Middlemas
September 29,2012
Show up at any race, and you are guaranteed to see all types of runners. Serious runners. Flashy runners. Novice runners. Jaded runners. Elated runners. And all of us runners show up at these races for just as many reasons. These reasons change, just like the seasons. On Sunday, September 29th, 2012, I visited the campus of Clackamas Community College for the very first time. I brought my mother along. We showed up for our 5k in matching neon jackets, naturally. The first chilly whispers of fall whipped through the trees as we wandered up to the registration table.
There is much to be said for a run merely by gauging the energy pulse of its volunteer squad. I was immediately impressed and inspired by the men and women organizing Miles 4 Mileage. Smiling employees behind the tables and sleepy college cross country students lining the course made this little run something big.
After some heartfelt announcements, awards to exemplary community members, and a starting blast from the coach, the sun was shining as I wound my way around the college grounds. As I ran, I thought about how wonderful it was that money was being raised and people were getting out there and sweating on a Sunday morning. I thought about how 95 percent of the race fee was being pumped back into the reason for the race.
Although I cannot deny my delight at the sight of an eye-catching goody bag or a slinky new race shirt, this run meant something different and perhaps much more. I truly hope to watch this race gain momentum and for more and more money to be raised each Fall. Way to go.

Just another great festival
Tired from their labors of love and desire to help the community, organizers of the Festival of Trees event last weekend at the Kitsap Pavilion are nonetheless basking in their success.
The festival is a principal fundraiser for Harrison Hospital in the community. According to Harrison Foundation Executive Director Stephanie Cline, the foundation has not yet tabulated how much money was raised or the events overall attendance figures.
It was just another great festival, Cline said Monday afternoon, with support coming, as usual, from all over the community.
Cline said attendees at the festival said the trees were bigger and better than ever.
The auction of trees saw the top tree earn $5,100 from a bidder who Cline said would wish to remain anonymous. That bidder, in turn, donated the tree back to Harrison Hospital Silverdale where it will be located in one of the buildings several lobbies.
Cline said the tree which earned the top auction price was also named Best of Show and was created by the Dr. Maurice S. Mathis Guild another group in the community which raises money for Harrison Hospital.

The Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra will culminate its exciting 75th Anniversary Season by presenting a Bon Voyage Concert for its 2014 China Tour at Western Michigan University's Dalton Center Recital Hall on Tuesday, June 17th at 7:30 p.m.
The orchestra's first tour since 1996 promises to be a thrilling one as they travel to four cities--Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou and Shanghai--and perform four times in major concert halls for Chinese audiences, who in recent years have become increasingly enthusiastic and interested in Western classical music. The orchestra, which is being joined by several KJSO alums, will be leaving for its 10-day tour to China on June 19th.
The KJSO Bon Voyage Concert will begin and end with two works central to the Western repertory: Bizet's powerfully dramatic incidental music to the play "L'Arlesienne" (The Girl from Arles) and Dvorak's beloved 8th Symphony, by turns sunny and vivacious. In their use of folk materials, both works evoke a very strong sense of place, and this is no less true of our two shorter string-only works, which speak even more directly to the cultural exchange happening on this tour. We'll end our first half with perhaps the most famous work of American music, Barber's Adagio, and begin our second half with a free fantasy on one of China's most well-loved folk tunes.
The concert will feature Bizet L'Arlesienne Suite No. 1; Barber Adagio for Strings; Hus Yin-Jun (A Bing), arr. Wu Zu-Qiang Reflection of the Moon on athe Er Quan; Dvorak Symphony No. 8; plus some Encore surprises
Proceeds for the Bon Voyage Concert tickets will go toward tour expenses. Please join us in seeing off the KJSO, the third longest-running youth orchestra in the United States, as they embark on this exciting adventure.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and available at the door. More information is available at 349-7557 or at a kjso.org.
KJSO History:
In 1939, a young man named Eugene Andrie, founded one of the first youth orchestras in the country in the lucky town of Kalamazoo. Then called the Kalamazoo Little Symphony, the original orchestra functioned similarly to the way it does nearly seventy-five years later, with audition-based, strictly youth, membership. In those first few years, Andrie's orchestra, inspired by Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra founder Leta Snow and Miss Wanda Miller, who began one of the first orchestral groups at Washington Elementary School, tackled movements of major repertoire, but never watered-down versions. The Little Symphony was noted for its musical accomplishments and its concerts were well-attended.
Little did Andrie, a music teacher at the Kalamazoo Conservatory of Music and Associated Arts, realize but the institution he founded would grow into a four-tiered orchestral program, the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Society, which includes a training orchestra, two preparatory orchestras, the Junior Symphony Orchestra and an impressive ensemble program. Today it is the third oldest continually-running youth orchestras in the United States and its influence on developing young musicians in the community and beyond has created an impressive legacy.
The conductors who followed Andrie, such as Julius Stulberg, Herbert Butler, Steven Ward, and Dr. Robert Ritsema, each lovingly developed the orchestra, including many KJSO firsts, such as the student concerto competition, a name change, establishment of a board of directors, invitation to accompany the Michigan Youth Arts Festival concerto winners, accompaniment of Stulberg International String Competition winners, including renowned violinist Joshua Bell, and several highly-successful international tours.
Today Conductor and Musical Director Andrew Koehler, professor of music at Kalamazoo College and conductor of the Kalamazoo Philharmonia, leads the 84-member orchestra with three seasonal concerts of challenging and exciting repertoire. Under his baton, the KJSO will charge into the 75th with an outstanding celebratory season which will include world-renowned violinist Midori, a performance by violinist Kathryn Park, the Stulberg Bronze winner, an alumni concert and Gala Event, and a special performance with pianist Alon Goldstein in collaboration with the 2014 Gilmore Keyboard Festival and . In addition, the orchestra plans a 2014 International Tour to China, its first international tour in years.
KJSO musicians, drawn from the metropolitan area and nine surrounding communities, graduate and lead successful lives, ones that enrich the communities in which they live. Some have become members of major orchestras, such as the Dallas, San Francisco and Minnesota Symphony Orchestras, devoting their lives to the power of making music. We encourage the community to support and join us as we celebrate our Diamond Jubilee with what has too often been called "Kalamazoo's best kept secret." By the end of this spectacular anniversary season, we hope the secret is out!

Red Alert (Mills & Boon Intrigue)
PROTECTING HER BECAME HIS JOB…AND HIS OBSESSION Dr. Meg Corning detested the way Erik Falco stormed the halls of Boston General Hospital as if he owned the place. The fallen-cop-turned-ruthless-businessman was throwing his weight around in his bid to gain control of her breakthrough medical technology. But putting this sexy stranger in his place seemed impossible once he swooped to the rescue during a series of mysterious "accidents." Before long, the explosive heat between them set off a chain reaction of pleasure and pain that nearly immobilized her. After Falco made a heart-stopping move to keep her safe, the data-obsessed doc knew it was time to analyze his true motives–and her own traitorous desires. Could they forge a bond of trust in time to outsmart a cold-blooded killer?

22 Brownhouse Road in Old Greenwich has just been listed for $1.995 million. That may or may not be the right price but I find it interesting to use its price history as a rough guide to what's happened to houses over on our Stamford border. The place sold for $1.250 in 2002 and when it was put back up for sale three years later in 2005 for $1.725 it sold in a bidding war for $1.905. Eight years later, it's asking that same amount, roughly. Whether or not they get what they're looking for, it's a safe bet that no bidding war's going to break out this time.
Market signs?

Wow, for a second I thought this place was mis-labeled. It looks like the exact house that's nearby on Harding Rd (75?). Did the same developer copy-and-paste a few of these in the immediate area?
D, There is a cluster of these carbon copy homes in that neighborhood. They were built simultaneously by Collins Development back around….
That's one hell of a premium for getting into Dundee! The question is: If the buyer has circa $2M to spend on a house, why not just send the kids to Private School. Is Dundee better than the Private Schools in the area?
and they put money in…. renovated whole house it looks like.
All About: Maybe the buyer's kids are too dumb to get into private school.
Yale does not take kids merely because their grandparents donated a major building. That is why it is called the Yale Corporation.
Being a legacy doubles the chances from 1/6 to 1/3 but tons of superstar legacies are rejected for no apparent reason other than it is a numbers game.
Very bright kid from one of the most competitive high schools in NY went to another Ivy – not HYP- to my surprise. Not sure if the kid was rejected or advised by the college counselor not to apply.
Just to be clear, his/ her grandparent had donated a major major building to Yake and a parent went to Yale.
there can only be two explanations to this fable:
1. the parents/grandparents/step uncle was/is a republican
2. there is more to the story
If X donates a building to Yale and has 5 grandchildren, not all will go to Yale. The numbers are so off here. I used to interview prospective students and it was rare that any of the ones I wanted actually got in.
I know many Ivy Leaguers who only got in because of sports. When it comes time to find a job out of college, they use their connections of course. That's how the game works. Ultimately, getting ahead is one of achievement and more importantly, who you know.
who you know is right, massive assist
Thank you, and this who you know phenomenon is one of the leading reasons why people remain in these high cost of living areas here and everywhere.
I like Brownhouse Road, but there is a *lot* of traffic from OGers looking to get to Exit 6 the "back" way. It is not off the beaten path. But most buyers these days don't appear to care about traffic/noise/proximity to other houses when selecting a home.

Fort Wayne (incnow.tv)- The TinCaps extended their longest winning streak of the season to eight Monday night at Parkview Field, demolishing the Dayton Dragons, 14-4. While the offense used 15 hits to score in five of the eight innings it came to bat, starting pitcher Justin Hancock extended his personal scoreless innings streak to 13. The winning streak is the team's longest since August 2-August 9, 2010, when the team won eight straight games.
Fort Wayne (39-25) wasted no time in generating offense against Dayton (26-37) starter Drew Cisco (2-4). The TinCaps scored once in the first inning and struck thrice times in the second. Of the first four runs, one was plated on an error and two came in on wild pitches. However, in the third frame, the TinCaps' bats began to blister. Fort Wayne sent 10 men to the plate and scored six times. Rodney Daal knocked home a pair with a double, followed by an RBI-double for Corey Adamson. Dane Phillips offered an exclamation point of sorts with a three-run double that made it 10-0.
The TinCaps added two more in the sixth and tacked on another pair in the eighth. Diego Goris led the offense with a team-high four hits, while Adamson and Chris Burke both helped to key the offense with three-hit games.
On the mound for Fort Wayne, Hancock scattered four hits and three walks to improve to 4-1 on the year. Although he allowed four runs in the ninth, reliever Joe Church tossed three innings to register the first save of his professional career.
With the victory, the TinCaps, who have won 14 of their last 15, increased their lead to six games over the Bowling Green Hot Rods in the Eastern Division wild-card standings. Fort Wayne's "magic number" to clinch a playoff berth for the season's first half is down to two. That means with the combination of a TinCaps win and a Hot Rods loss, or two of either, the TinCaps will clinch a spot in September's playoffs.
After finishing a three-game sweep of Dayton, Fort Wayne stays at home Tuesday to welcome the Lake County Captains for a three-game series. The TinCaps send Zach Eflin (2-4, 3.65) to the hill against Lake County's Ryan Merritt.

2014 Update
If you haven't checked out Part 1 of the Bronchiolitis series do so here – otherwise, let us trudge onward. This time, towards a potential therapy that is used in many institutions for bronchiolitis – Albuterol. This Beta-agonist relaxes airway smooth muscle thus improving wheezing – sound good right? Bronchiolitics are super wheezy after all. Well, not so fast my friends – let's take a look at the evidence, which has been looked at in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
In outpatients Schweich et al & Schuh et al saw improvement in O2 sat and clinical score after 2 albuterol treatments. Klassen et al noted that there were improved clinical scores at 30 minutes – but no difference at one hour. Finally, Gadomski et al saw no benefit. Two noteworthy inpatient studies by Dobson et al and Flores et al showed no benefit either. With the former noting no improvement in patients with moderate or serve illness, and the latter lead investigators to conclude that albuterol did not reduce the length of inpatient stay.
That's not all. For those of you that prefer your plots to be all "foresty" there have been multiple systematic reviews, including a Cochrane Review that all paint a less than conclusive picture. There is no difference in the rates of hospital admission,time to illness resolution, and hospital length of stay. So why do we keep giving them, well…
There does seem to be a short-term improvement in clinical score in approximately 25% of outpatients (the ED included).
So what do I do? First, I would only use Albuterol in a moderate or severe bronchiolitic. Then, I'd consider the potential benefits and communicate a clear understanding of the limitations with the parents. In general I tell them that there is a small chance that it will improve their child's breathing temporarily, and that this may make them look better, and perhaps sleep or feed more willingly. I tell them that if it helps that they could use it at home, but make no guarantees that it will continue to work. I also spend extra time going over the usual illness course. All in all I find that I'm using it less than I used to, especially now with mounting evidence.
I'll leave you with a quote from Gadomski's Cochrane Review in order to help drive home the points I discussed here;
[quote align="center" color="black"]Bronchodilators produce small short-term improvements in clinical scores among infants with bronchiolitis treated as outpatients. However, given their high cost, adverse effects and lack of effect on oxygen saturation and other outcomes included in this meta-analysis, bronchodilators cannot be recommended for routine management of first-time wheezers who present with the clinical findings of bronchiolitis, in either inpatient or outpatient settings.
-Gadomski et al[/quote]
Thanks again to Todd Florin, MD, MSCE – he's a cool dude

Gainer the Gopher
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Gainer the Gopher is the mascot of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, a Canadian Football League team. The Gainer costume is modelled after the Richardson's Ground Squirrel, commonly referred to as a "gopher" in many parts of North America. He is from Parkbeg.[1]
Gainer, whose name is an anagram of "Regina", made his first appearance in 1977 and has been entertaining Rider fans ever since. In 2006, Gainer was given the jersey number 13, symbolizing his contributions as the "13th man" on the field. Prior to this, he wore the jersey number 1/2. He also has two cousins named Leonard and Goof that usually only appear at Roughrider home games.[2]
Gainer continues to be an ambassador for the Riders both at Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field during the football season and at community events all over Saskatchewan throughout the year.
Gainer was first 'played' by Don Hewitt; of Regina, SK, in 1977. Don Hewitt is currently a reporter and on-air personality with CTV Regina.[3]
Gainer was banned from attending the November 5, 2006, playoff game versus the Calgary Stampeders at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta to prevent him from rallying the thousands of Roughrider fans that attended the game.[4] Due to fan outrage, Stampeders Officials lifted the ban but barred Gainer from on-field cheerleading. Despite this the Roughriders won the game by a score of 30–21.

TRUSSVILLE, Alabama -- Hewitt-Trussville High School's culinary arts team is cooking up something special for this summer, as its members will be heading to national finals in Orlando after taking the state title for the second straight year.
The team won the state culinary championships in March at Culinard, the Culinary Institute of Virginia College. Members Amanda Cruce, Jessica Riestra and Christopher Renda served up a menu of herb glazed chicken with spiced Brussels sprouts, apple and onion slaw and a pear and fennel salad with shaved parmesan cheese.
The team got one hour to prepare the food after 30 minutes of kitchen preparation.
"We have a very strong team that works extremely well together," said Laura Rinsky, a professional chef who is the director of the school's hospitality and culinary arts academy. "There's a good dynamic amongst them and they are all talented cooks."
Renda is the only member of last year's culinary team. Hewitt-Trussville took home a silver medal at nationals in 2011.
At the state level, the team competed against students from A.P. Brewer High School, Auburn High School, Bob Jones High School, Central High School of Phenix City, Cullman Career and Technology Center, Florence High School, Fort Payne High School, Huntsville Center for Technology, McAdory High School, Russell County High School, Shelby County School of Technology and Wenonah High School.
Judging the event were Doug Allen, executive chef at UAB Hospital; Jason Lafferty, director of the Mobile Culinard program; Mary Grace Howard, corporate chef for the Village Tavern, Chris Vizzina, executive chef at Samford University; and Scott Jones, a food journalist. Chris Dupont, the chef and owner of Cafe Dupont, was the head judge.
Culinary arts competitions match three-person teams against each other to cook a specific menu in a certain amount of time. Prior to the competition, students know they will be preparing one of three possible menus, but they do not find out which one until the morning of the competition.
"Just to be able to take a group of raw students and train them into a winning team speaks to the students," Rinsky said.
