Updates from Tuesday, April 22
Tennessee has confirmed Donnie Tyndall is the new Tennessee head coach:
We're proud to announce that Donnie Tyndall will be introduced as Tennessee's 19th head coach today at 2 p.m. ET! pic.twitter.com/VSbKGLFinf— Tennessee Basketball (@Vol_Hoops) April 22, 2014
Ben Frederickson of GoVolsXtra.com provides insight surrounding Tyndall's plans for his coaching staff:
New Tennessee men's basketball coach Donnie Tyndall plans to bring the bulk of his Southern Miss staff with him to Knoxville, a source close to the situation told the News Sentinel early Tuesday morning.
CBS Sports' Gary Parrish also reported updated financial details of Tyndall's contract with Tennessee:
A source told @CBSSports that Donnie Tyndall's deal at Tennessee is for six years at $1.6 million per year.— Gary Parrish (@GaryParrishCBS) April 22, 2014
Original Text
Donnie Tyndall, a sought-after name on the head coaching market, made it clear last month he was happy at Southern Miss, but it would appear Tennessee made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
CBS Sports' Gary Parrish first reported the Vols have found their replacement for Cuonzo Martin, recently agreeing to terms with Tyndall:
BREAKING: Sources told @CBSSports that Tennessee has offered Donnie Tyndall. He plans to accept and be the Vols' next coach. Story coming …— Gary Parrish (@GaryParrishCBS) April 22, 2014
ESPN's Jeff Goodman and Andy Katz added more details on the financial terms, and how an agreement was made:
The deal was for five years at $8 million overall. But they were still negotiating Monday night because Tyndall wanted six years instead of five, a source with direct knowledge on the negotiations told ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz.
Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart reached out to Tyndall, who has spent the past two seasons at Southern Miss, and the two quickly agreed to a preliminary deal.
This comes as somewhat of a surprise. As Tyndall's name continued to pop up for vacancies around the country, he attempted to put an end to any and all rumors, via the Clarion Ledger's Jason Munz:
I don't plan to leave here. Now, would I be lying if I didn't say, 'At some point, some day if the exact right job came along, would I have to take a look at it? Yeah, you probably would.'
Well, it looks like the "right job came along," and it's a good thing for the Vols. As Parrish argued, this is the perfect fit for a school looking to retain momentum after its first Sweet 16 appearance since 2008:
Like I said when Arizona got Sean Miller, Tennessee will eventually be glad that it stumbled into this hire. Donnie Tyndall is a great fit.— Gary Parrish (@GaryParrishCBS) April 22, 2014
After an extended stint with Morehead State, Tyndall spent the last two seasons leading Southern Miss to a combined record of 56-17 (.767) and a pair of NIT appearances.
While that may not jump off the resume, there are an array of circumstances that make this a tantalizing hire. As a former assistant at LSU (four years), he has experience recruiting out of the SEC. As a former Middle Tennessee assistant (four years), he knows the state. As the former Morehead State head coach (six years), he has had success in the area.
How would you grade this hire by Tennessee?
The Eagles, who went 4-23 the year before Tyndall was hired, were 114-85 during his reign, made two NCAA tournament appearances and famously upset fourth-seeded Louisville in the NCAA tournament behind Kenneth Faried.
Finally, as Parrish notes, Tyndall is a "big personality who has helped increase season-ticket sales at USM."
This isn't going to be an easy job for the up-and-coming head coach. Tennessee returns just one starter and senior (Josh Richardson) in 2014-15, making this a nearly total rebuilding project.
But as Tyndall has proven in the past, he is capable of turning things in a positive direction very quickly.

Saks Sneaks Out Dismal Results Before Buyoutby
Saks had a really crummy summer and doesn't much want to talk about it, thank you very much.
The high-end department store chain surprised Wall Street this morning by reporting its recent quarter of earnings—or the lack thereof—a day earlier than planned, and the company decided to skip the usual conference call and forward-looking guidance. With a $2.9 billion acquisition by Hudson's Bay expected to close early next month, Saks seems willing to spare its shareholders and analysts additional insights on how things have been going. A look at the numbers, however, suggest that any closer examination of the past quarter would have been painful for Saks executives.
The company reported a slight uptick in overall sales, but losses widened to $19.6 million as managers aggressively slashed prices on menswear, handbags, and women's shoes to keep customers buying. Saks Chief Executive Stephen Sadove said in a statement that sales growth was "modestly below" Saks expectations. The only decent data point in the report was a 1.5 percent increase in same-store sales. That's a critical metric in the retail world, but revenue is fairly meaningless unless some profit is built in.
The earnings report was the latest in a string of disappointing financial updates from major U.S. retailers. Last week, Macy's cut its earnings outlook for the year and Wal-Mart did the same. Although home and car sales have been brisk, so-called discretionary spending has been fickle. Consumer sentiment dropped unexpectedly in August, retreating from its highest level in six years.
Some analysts have suggested stores catering to more affluent customers fared better in recent months. But this morning's report from Saks and a similarly sad update from Nordstrom last week suggest even companies selling four-figure Burberry trench coats and silver snakeskin handbags are struggling.
Saks shareholders, meanwhile, are happy to have the Hudson's Bay offer to buttress the stock this morning, even though the weak earnings numbers make it much less likely that a higher bidder will emerge in the few remaining days before the deal is final.

(Philadelphia, PA) – Mary Ann Keenan,
MD, Chief of Neuro-Orthopaedics for the University
of Pennsylvania Health System, has been named a recipient
of the first-annual Ladies' Home Journal Health Breakthrough
Awards. The award recognizes leading medical professionals who are
making life-saving and life-enhancing discoveries in research, treatment
and diagnostics that have significantly helped women and families.
As chief of the Neuro-Orthopaedics Program for the University of
Pennsylvania Health System, Dr. Keenan pioneered advanced techniques
that relieve musculo-skeletal deformities brought on by stroke.
She performs surgeries that re-animate limbs that have been contorted
and paralyzed as the result of stroke or similar brain injuries.
These surgeries also alleviate pain that would likely remain with
a patient until death. Typically, Dr. Keenan operates on 230 people
a year, performing up to 700 procedures.
"It's a simple mechanical approach," says Dr.
Keenan. "Basically you ask yourself, 'is this a muscle
whose use I can eliminate or can I redirect its force?' Maybe
a muscle that used to straighten a knee will now bend a knee. How
about a muscle that turned a foot inward being forced to turn it
outward? You can make a muscle do anything."
Dr. Keenan was selected from a candidate list of more than 100
accomplished medical professionals. She will be honored along with
six other doctors and researchers at the Ladies' Home Journal
First-Annual Health Breakthrough Award Luncheon in New York City
on August 2nd.
"It is certainly an honor to win this award, not only for
the recognition of my work, but more importantly because the orthopaedic
needs of the neurologically impaired are being recognized as well,"
says Keenan. "This is a greatly underserved patient population.
There needs to be more attention focused on these people and their
mobility and functional problems. This population will only increase
and their quality of life can be improved with these techniques."
Hosted by Ladies' Home Journal Editor-In-Chief Diane
Salvatore, the luncheon's award presenters include Oscar and
Emmy Award-Winning actress Sally Field, an osteoporosis advocate,
Golden Globe- Nominated actress Andie MacDowell and co-anchor of
Weekend Today Campbell Brown. The honorees will be featured in the
September issue of the magazine, on sale August 8th.
GlaxoSmithKline is the sole sponsor of both the Health Breakthrough
Awards September 2006 in-book feature and the Awards Gala.

Britney Spears Talks About Cheating Ex-Boyfriend During Vegas Concert
Britney Spears openly discussed her cheating ex-boyfriend during a show in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday. Last week the pop star revealed she was single amid rumors David Lucado had been videotaped dancing and kissing another woman. Her father reportedly bought the footage so it wouldn't be released to the public.
During her "Piece of Me" residency at Planet Hollywood, Spears talked about the incident, telling fans: "Well, by now everyone knows my boyfriend cheated on me. But the best part of breaking up is going on first dates. Oh my God, oh my God, I need a hot guy. Where are the hot guys here tonight?"
She then picked celebrity blogger Perez Hilton to join her on stage during her performance of "Freakshow." She put a leash around his neck and led him around the stage on all fours - something she's also done with stars including Lance Bass and Nicole Richie.
Prior to dating Lucado, Spears was engaged to Jason Trawick. She has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

LO is 4 weeks old now. He was 3 weeks, 4 days premature, born Oct 14, weighing 5 lbs. 15 oz. The nurse said if he hadn't peed all over her, he would have hit 6 pounds.
He has done tremendously well. DD is a wonderful mother (I'm the grandma). He was a bit jaundiced at first and we suffered through a plugged in baby for about 5 days (light pad). He has gained well. I think he's about 7 pounds now.
What worries me is that he has a LOT of poopy diapers, about 12-15 in a 24 hour period. I think this is excessive. It has a lot of water content, but also some green grit. His little butt is getting quite sore. It is explosive. You can actually hear him poop in the next room. He appears to have some gas, but not a lot of belly aches.
I know breastfed babies are not supposed to get diarrhea or constipation, but this doesn't seem right. I called the pediatrician Friday and told her about this and she suggested formula with probiotics. I asked if there weren't infant probiotics without resorting to formula and she said there was.
A little bitty bottle costs $30. You give the baby 5 drops a day, which is hard to estimate. Using a dropper, it often empties when you only give a tiny squeeze. So I used water and the dropper and carefully got 5 drops out and eyeballed how that looked in a teaspoon (about 1/4). So now I give him 1/4 tsp of the probiotic a day.
I imagine it is going to take at least a week to take effect. I hope to see an improvement in the diapers. The books says 3 poopy ones a day is to be expected. That would be heaven!
Have any of you had a 1-month old baby poop like this? It's been like this since birth. I would sure like to see it become more regulated.

U.S. Registered Nursing Re-Licensing Process
Re-Licensing Refugee Nurses
Nursing licensure standards and regulations for international and domestic nurses in the U.S. are established by individual states. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), whose membership includes nursing boards from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and four of the U.S. territories, has developed the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) examination. NCLEX-RN is a standardized examination that U.S. and foreign nursing school graduates must successfully complete before a State Board of Nursing will issue a license. In addition to passing the NCLEX-RN examination, each applicant must fulfill other requirements as outlined by individual State Boards of Nursing. For refugee nurses and other foreign graduates of nursing school, the state licensing requirements generally include professional evaluation of the applicant's credentials, proof of English proficiency, and possibly, additional nursing courses (See diagram).
Registered Nursing Re-Licensing Process
Four Steps to U.S. Nursing License
The actual re-licensure process for international nurses also varies by state. Some licensing boards insist that a complete application for licensure be submitted first, whereas other States suggest that the applicants complete the credential evaluation before applying for licensure.
The registered nursing licensure process includes four distinct steps, including contacting the State Board of Nursing for information; applying for RN licensing with the State Board of Nursing; passing the NCLEX-RN exam; and receiving the license from the State Board of Nursing. These four steps are described below in detail:
Step 1: Contact the State Board of Nursing for Licensure Information
Each State Board has specific instructions on how foreign graduates must complete the licensure process. For example, State Boards may provide a list of their preferred credential evaluation services provider and the type of evaluation they require. Additionally, the State Board may require a set passing score on a specific English proficiency exam. Before applying for licensure, applicants are encouraged to contact the State Board of Nursing for information and guidance. State Board of Nursing information can be found on the National Council of the State Board of Nursing (NCSBN) website: https://www.ncsbn.org/index.htm
Step 2: Apply for RN Licensing with State Board of Nursing
In order to take the NCLEX-RN exam, the applicant must first apply to the Board of Nursing in the state where they wish to practice nursing. Once the state requirements for application have been met, the State Board of Nursing will approve the applicant to take the NCLEX-RN exam. Applicants whose education does not meet the state requirements may need to take additional courses before they can register for the NCLEX-RN exam. When the license application, including all the supporting documents for credential evaluation, verification, and completed coursework, have been submitted some states may allow applicants to begin work using an Interim or Temporary Permit under the supervision of a licensed Registered Nurse.
The license application for refugee nurses and other foreign nursing school graduates generally includes the following:
Evaluation and Verification of Licensure and Educational Credentials:
- State Boards of Nursing require credential evaluation services by Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (www.cgfns.org/) or other recommended service providers. The Board of Nursing may also specify the type of acceptable evaluation services. Some of the evaluation services and approximate costs are listed below:
Health Care Profession and Science Report ($278)
Full Education Course by Course Report ($328)
CGFNS Certification − includes CGFNS Qualifying Exam, Credentials Review, and English Language Proficiency ($368)
Credential Verification Service for New York State ($275)
Verification of English Proficiency:
Licensure applicants must demonstrate English proficiency by passing standardized English tests at a level as required on one or more of the exams that are accepted by the State Board of Nursing. Those whose nursing education was based on English text books and/or have extensive nursing experience in English may be exempt from the English proficiency exam.
Some of the English proficiency examinations that may be acceptable to a State Board of Nursing include the following:
- Paper-based Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) ($140) www.ets.org/toefl
-Internet-based (iBT) TOEFL ($150) www.ets.org/
- Test of Spoken English (TSE) ($125)
- International English Language Test Service Academic Examination (IELTS) ($155) www.ielts.org/ or Test of English in International Communication (TOEIC) ($65) www.ets.org/toeic
Completion of Additional Courses (if necessary)
If courses taken in the applicant's country of origin are not transferable, the applicant may need to complete additional classes to satisfy the educational requirements mandated by the State Board of Nursing. Check with the State Board to determine where the required courses may be taken.
Apply for Interim or Temporary Permit (optional)
Some State Boards of Nursing will issue Interim or Temporary Permits to applicants who have completed the nursing license application and are registered and waiting to take the NCLEX examine. With an Interim or Temporary Permit, the applicant may begin working under the supervision of a licensed nurse.
Register for NCLEX-RN Examination:
Pearson VUE is the official provider of licensing examinations for Registered Nursing. The NCLEX-RN exam costs approximately $200. Following is an outline of the NCLEX-RN exam registration process:
1. Meet the Board of Nursing eligibility requirements to take the exam.
2. Register with Pearson VUE (http://www.pearsonvue.com/) to take the exam.
3. Receive Confirmation of Registration from Pearson VUE. State Board of Nursing confirms the candidate's eligibility to take the NCLEX-RN examination.
4. Receive Authorization to Test (ATT) from Pearson VUE.
5. Schedule to take the NCLEX-RN examination at one of the available test sites.
Step 3: Pass NCLEX-RN examination
In order to receive a RN license in any U.S. state, graduates of U.S. and foreign nursing schools must pass the NCLEX-RN examination.
Step 4: Receive Registered Nursing License
Questions & Answers
Q: How do I get started?
A: Contact the Board of Nursing in the state where you want to practice nursing for licensure application information. Contact information for the State Board of Nursing can be found on the National Council of the State Board of Nursing (NCSBN) website: www.ncsbn.org
Q: What if I don't have the documents (e.g. transcript, license, etc.) as required by the State Board of Nursing?
A: Contact your State Board of Nursing to determine if a special exemption is available. The only alternative to becoming a Registered Nurse is to attend an accredited nursing school in the U.S.
Q: Does the State Boards of Nursing provide any financial assistance to qualifying applicants?
A: It is not likely that the State Board of Nursing will offer financial assistance to licensure applicants. However, the applicants may consider directing this question to the State Board.
Q: I was a doctor in my country. Can I practice nursing in the U.S. with a medical license from my home country?
A: No, you cannot work legally as a registered nurse without a State Board of Nursing issued license. A medical degree or license does not permit you to work legally as a nurse in the U.S. In order to practice nursing, you need formal training and education in nursing from an accredited college or university and the appropriate licensure from a State Board of Nursing. Doctors interested in pursuing a career in nursing should contact the State Board of Nursing for licensure requirements and a list of state approved nursing schools (https://www.ncsbn.org/index.htm). In addition, internationally educated physicians may consider contacting the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (www.ecfmg.org/) for evaluation and testing services. These physicians are not eligible for evaluation services through CGFNS.
Q: I have a nursing license from my home country, but I'm not ready to apply for licensure in the U.S. Can I get a job in a health care setting without becoming re-licensed in nursing?
A: Yes, there are other job opportunities in healthcare. For example, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) provide basic care and assistance to those who are ill, injured, convalescent, and disabled under the supervision of physicians or registered nurses. Refugee professionals preparing to apply for a registered nursing license may use their CNA/LPN experience as an entry toward achieving their goal of re-licensure. For listings of job opportunities in medical clinics and hospitals, contact your refugee employment specialist or the One-Stop-Career Center in your community.
Q: Where can I find more information on nursing education and nursing professions?
A: A wide range of nursing education and professional/career tracks is available in the U.S. From a diploma that can be earned through a hospital to an associate degree in nursing from a community college, from bachelor's degree in nursing to a doctoral degree in nursing that requires university training and education, nursing offers refugee professionals and others an array of employment opportunities in the health care field. For more information on nursing education and professional careers/tracks, please review the nursing section of "Occupational Outlook Handbook: 2006-2007 Edition" developed by Bureau of Statistics, Department of Labor: www.bls.gov/oco/
Q: I am proficient in English and I do not need additional coursework. How quickly can I get a nursing license?
A: The length of time necessary to obtain a nursing license will depend on various factors, including the requirements for the State Board of Nursing and the individual applicant's readiness. Even if you are fluent in English and have taken all the required courses, you will still need to provide documentation to support your claim in a manner that meets the State Board's requirements. For example, English proficiency may need to be measured and documented using a standardize test such as TOEFL or TSE. Please see Step 2, section b) for cost estimates on English proficiency exams.
Q: How soon after arrival can I apply for a nursing license?
A: There is no waiting period for refugees to apply for a nursing license in the U.S. However, those interested in applying for licensure should consider how prepared they are to successfully complete this process. If you answer "No" to any of the following questions, you may need more time to prepare before applying for licensure:
- Am I proficient in English enough to pass the required language test?
- Do I have the financial resources to pay for all the licensure related expenses?
- Do I have all the documents necessary for credential evaluation?
- Am I ready to take the NCLEX-RN exam?

Man, 19, charged with molesting girl, 15, beginning when she was 12
A report to a Fayette County School Resource Officer in early October led to the arrest Oct. 26 of a Jonesboro man on charges of aggravated child molestation.
Daniel Lee Wenzel, 19, was charged with child molestation and aggravated child molestation, according to Fayette County Sheriff's spokesman Brent Rowan. The charges are in connection to the molestation case that occurred on several dates between 2010-2012 at a Fayette County residence, Rowan said.
Rowan said the case involves Wenzel having inappropriate sexual contact with a female juvenile who was 12 years of age when the incidents began to occur. The victim, who is now 15, reported this case to a School Resource Officer on Oct. 3, said Rowan.
Wenzel is currently being held in the Fayette County Jail with no bond.
Rowan said the case is still under investigation.

Season Preview (MD1): No. 7 Maryland
by Matt Forman | LaxMagazine.com
|"Niko wants to be great,"
Maryland coach John Tillman said of the Terps' sophomore
© John Strohsacker/LaxPhotos.com
As a redshirt freshman goalie playing in front of three senior defenders and multi-year starters, it was only natural for Niko Amato to defer to Max Schmidt, Brett Schmidt and Ryder Bohlander in 2011. He could make the easy saves, get the Terrapins organized on clears and let the seniors carry the load.
It will be a different story in 2012. With Maryland replacing its entire close defense from its NCAA runner-up squad — Schmidt, Schmidt and Bohlander — Amato has taken on a new role as the leader and voice of the Terps' defense.
"Niko was in a great situation last year with some upperclassmen who could take on the responsibility, which allowed Niko to just be a young guy," said coach John Tillman, who in his first season took Maryland to the finals for the first time since 1998. "But what I'm most impressed with is what he did in the fall in terms of his leadership, making the guys around him better. His approach coming in could have been taking things for granted and saying, 'All right, well, I'm the starter, so I'm just going to play.' But Niko doesn't want to be good. Niko wants to be great."
Senior captain Joe Cummings said Amato's emergence as a leader started at the end of the 2011 season, as he started to get more comfortable and confident in the defense. Amato starred in the NCAA tournament, when he made 43 saves in four games, holding postseason opponents to 23.3 percent shooting (24-for-103).
Amato has a knack for the big moment, and that made a lasting impression on the lacrosse world — along with the Terps. Cummings called Amato "the ultimate game-changer, and probably the hardest goalie in the country to score on when he's hot."
"On the big stage, in the big moments, he always stepped up to the table and rose to the occasion," Tillman said. "If you ask anybody, to a man, every single guy has the ultimate confidence in Niko. And if you could pick any goalie in the country, and it was a big game, everybody would want Niko between the pipes. We all believe in him. We all want him to be our guy. And we wouldn't trade him for anybody."
As a program, Maryland prides itself on playing physical, suffocating defense, and Amato will be its linchpin in 2012.
Junior captain Jesse Bernhardt, who played long-stick midfield last year, is the unit's most experienced returning player and could see time at close. Redshirt freshman Casey Ikeda missed 2011 with a shoulder injury but will fill one of the open spots, while sophomores Michael Erhardt and Emmett Cahill, and talented freshman Goran Murray are all in the mix.
Attackers Grant Catalino (31 goals, 11 assists) and Ryan Young also graduated, but Maryland returns a group of hybrid midfielder-attackers, like Owen Blye. "He is the man," Cummings said of Blye. "He had been a bit of a role player in the past, but he's going to be the quarterback of the offense this year. He's really going to flourish."
Cummings and Blye will see time at both positions, which makes Maryland's offense flexible and dynamic.
Tillman identified Kevin Forster as the fall's most consistent freshman, and he will contribute at attack.
"We loved those seniors, and we certainly would love to have them back, but you kind of knew what you were getting with them," Tillman said. "We're going to be different this year, and maybe we'll be a little bit more unpredictable, which makes it harder for defenses to pin down what exactly we're doing."

We conducted a population-based case-control study in King County, WA, to evaluate the association between usual caffeine intake and primary cardiac arrest. We identified primary cardiac arrest cases (N = 362) without a history of clinical heart disease or major comorbidity through paramedic incident reports during the period 1988-1994. We identified controls (N = 581), individually matched to cases on age (+/-7 years) and gender and meeting the same general health criteria, through random digit dialing. We interviewed the spouses of cases and controls to obtain information on usual caffeine intake from coffee, tea, and cola during the prior year. After adjusting for cigarette smoking and other risk factors, we observed little association between daily consumption of the caffeine equivalent of fewer than 5 cups per day of drip coffee (<687 mg per day) and primary cardiac arrest. High usual caffeine consumption (>=687 mg per day) was associated with a modestly elevated risk of primary cardiac arrest [odds ratio = 1.44; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.82-2.53]. The elevated risk associated with high caffeine consumption appeared to be restricted to never-smokers (odds ratio for >=687 mg per day = 3.2; 95% CI = 1.3-8.1).

Design on a Dime2 of 9
The key in a small space is to go bold and avoid clutter. This oversize mirror visually doubles the room's size, and its high-impact frame makes it the room's focal point.
Design on a Dime3 of 9
Draping curtains in a wide entryway helps to define the space and soften the look of a room. Note how the periwinkle hue coordinates with the color on the walls, pulling the room together.
Design on a Dime4 of 9
Hang a chandelier (or two) in an unexpected space, such as a bathroom or office, to instantly transform the whole look of the room with a touch of romance.
Design on a Dime5 of 9
Bold pops of color, like an energizing yellow accent wall and complementary throw pillows, can completely reinvent a neutral space (and brighten your mood).

Jane Adams
Born on April 1, 1965
From Washington, D.C.
Jane Adams as "Tanya Skagle"
Once athletic, popular and on the way to success, Ray Drecker's life turns upside down: He's an underpaid, unappreciated middle-age high-school teacher and basketball coach whose wife of 20 years just left him, and his twin children soon follow her out the door after a fire damages his rundown Detroit home. Grasping at straws, Ray attends a self-help class, where he learns the key to financial success is identifying a personal "winning tool," advice that Ray takes quite literally, in hope of turning things around.

We all have our off days and sometimes just can't find the motivation to shake it off. However, depression is different.

Research shows that psychotherapy is an effective tool to fight depression. I will listen to you and provide objective feedback on issues that weigh you down. We will work together to develop a tailor made treatment plan to help you develop new coping mechanisms and to get your life back on track. Depression is a treatable disorder. Using a cognitive behavioral approach, I can help you reduce your symptoms and develop a better quality of life.

Depression is often the tip of the iceberg, in terms of what is happening with the psyche. It lets you know something is wrong, and then, you must explore the underlying causes. Once you have done that, relief is possible. There are times when the depression has been around for so long that you may have forgotten what it feels like to feel good...in such cases, a combined approach, in cooperation with your MD, with therapy + medications, will improve your prognosis.

Hanover, York, Pennsylvania 17331
Distance Therapy and Coaching for Depression. Don't let the snow or flu season interfere with your therapy sessions. Inclement weather and less sunlight during winter can increase depression, illness, and lethargy. It brings that "I just want to stay at home and rest" feeling. Many of my clients are now using phone or video sessions for this reason and others. Recently, a client's child was home sick from school, so I told her to grab a cup of coffee or tea and we could have our session over the phone. An increasingly popular method of counseling, distance therapy allows you to have therapy anywhere—from the comfort of your own home or wherever you have access to a phone or computer.

I really want to be done nursing Emma but she doesn't seem willing to let go of her last 2 sessions. I know in my heart she's not quite ready to be done completely, but honestly I think it's because she likes my milk not so much because she needs the comfort - at least that seems to be true 90% of the time. I feel like we've done this for 2 1/2 years, I am REALLY HAPPY when she doesn't ask, and really want to enjoy nursing Owen, which right now I feel so annoyed by having to nurse her that I don't really enjoy nursing him (although is it just less "magical" with a second child?). BUT, at the same time I can say, she's only 2 1/2 years old, she loves to nurse (asks several times a day, gets really excited in the morning and night when she's allowed to and tells me "mommy I so excited to nurse" and is especially happy when she nurses at the same time as Owen, and I feel guilty for even wanting it to end but I do. I'm sure I'll be a little sad after but I think I'll be mostly relieved when she's done. I've been trying to tell myself "you'll be sad when it's over, so let her keep going" plus I know it's still good for her. I read articles on the benefits of extended breastfeeding and that helps me keep going for a bit, but it's getting less and less effective for me.
I just feel like I'm in a no-win situation here. If I keep going, I'm unhappy about it, but if I stop she will be really unhappy. What do I do? Is there some way I can get the desire to keep providing this for her back? And how do I feel like I'm not cheating Owen out of the deal because I am just sick of nursing.

MD; Zamora, Ruben PhD; Mi, Qi PhD; Chang, Steve MS; Vodovotz, Yoram PhD
Objective: To gain insights into individual variations in acute inflammation and physiology.
Design: Large-animal study combined with mathematical modeling.
Setting: Academic large-animal and computational laboratories.
Subjects: Outbred juvenile swine.
Interventions: Four swine were instrumented and subjected to endotoxemia (100 µg/kg), followed by serial plasma sampling.
Measurements and Main Results: Swine exhibited various degrees of inflammation and acute lung injury, including one death with severe acute lung injury (PaO2/FIO2 ratio μ200 and static compliance μ10 L/cm H2O). Plasma interleukin-1β, interleukin-4, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, high mobility group box-1, and NO2-/NO3- were significantly (p μ .05) elevated over the course of the experiment. Principal component analysis was used to suggest principal drivers of inflammation. Based in part on principal component analysis, an ordinary differential equation model was constructed, consisting of the lung and the blood (as a surrogate for the rest of the body), in which endotoxin induces tumor necrosis factor-α in monocytes in the blood, followed by the trafficking of these cells into the lung leading to the release of high mobility group box-1, which in turn stimulates the release of interleukin-1β from resident macrophages. The ordinary differential equation model also included blood pressure, PaO2, and FIO2, and a damage variable that summarizes the health of the animal. This ordinary differential equation model could be fit to both inflammatory and physiologic data in the individual swine. The predicted time course of damage could be matched to the oxygen index in three of the four swine.
Conclusions: The approach described herein may aid in predicting inflammation and physiologic dysfunction in small cohorts of subjects with diverse phenotypes and outcomes.

Texas Restaurants
Henry's Puffy Tacos - San Antonio
There's no way of knowing how many tacos there are in San Antonio. But there's no question which one is the city's most beloved. It's Henry.
The stumble-footed mascot of Henry's Puffy Taco Restaurant has been appearing at San Antonio minor league baseball games for 16 years now.
"I came up with him when I was in college," confesses Jaime Lopez, the youngest of four siblings who have been running the restaurant since the founders, their parents, retired. "We lived near the stadium when I was a kid and I went to a lot of games. I saw the billboards in the outfield and I always remembered that. When I got older and got involved in the family business I thought that would be a good way to advertise."
Lopez took his idea one step further and decided to create a mascot for the business his father Henry had started in 1978. "When I contacted the Missions and suggested it back in 1989, their marketing guy was from Denver. I don't think he knew what a puffy taco was. He suggested we use a burrito or an enchilada. He clearly didn't get it."
Henry's Puffy TacosJaime can't pinpoint the origin of the family's secret recipe. "My uncles made them at their restaurants in California and my grandmother made them too. I can't really say who started it, but it's been in the family for generations." While Henry's filling is standard taco fare, the dough used to make the shell puffs up when cooked giving the dish a cloud-like appearance, making it look more like pastry than an entree.

Henry's also has more traditional Mexican dishes including enchiladas, tamales, burritos and regular tacos. The restaurant is as much museum as eatery with Latino memorabilia such as boxing gloves, mariachi costumes and musical instruments on display commemorating famous athletes and performers.
Aside from hamming it up with his partner "Ballapeño" between innings at the AA Missions' games, Henry's main role is to race around the bases with a youngster chosen from the crowd. The young fan has to beat Henry to home plate to win a free dinner for the family.
Henry always manages to lose, but it's not always easy. He's been known to take a dive. "I don't remember exactly when it happened, but one night the kid stumbled and took Henry's legs out," explains Mickey Holt, director of public relations for the Missions. "Ever since then it's become a tradition to tackle him between third base and home plate. He takes a lot of abuse but everybody loves it. He's a huge hit."
That abuse means the Missions have to order a new costume every season. "We go through at least one a year," Holt adds. "It's not really meant to be mistreated the way we do. Plus, we have a couple of spares. Henry can be in more than one place at a time. He's all over town during little league season."
The Texas legislature, which knows a good taco when it sees one, honored Henry in 2003 with House Resolution 490 recognizing him as, "truly entertaining, hopelessly endearing and curiously appetizing." He's also been named the "Best Mascot in the Minor Leagues" by Newsweek Magazine.
For those more interested in eating tacos than chasing them, Henry's is a local landmark. "Almost all of our business is local," Lopez says. "We're not near a highway and we're not downtown, so people have to find us. All the locals (including any cab driver or concierge) know where we are but tourists don't know how to get here."
The original Henry's was a tiny 1,000 square foot mom-and-pop operation and featured a forerunner of the modern drive through. "I guess my dad was pretty innovative. You could call in your order and he had a window where you could pick it up when you got here without having to get out of your car."
Today, having outgrown its first two locations, the restaurant is a more spacious 7,500 square feet and employs 55.
"I started working here when I was 13," Lopez says. "I fired my first employee when I was 14. I guess that's when I became a manager. My dad told me, 'if you've got the guts to fire them, then you have to do their work.' So I did. My family did everything back then. My mom had a regular job during the day and then she was the cook at night. My dad was here all the time. There were times back then when the closing crew might be me, my brothers and maybe two other people."
The oldest of the four Lopez children at 42, Rick is the general manager. Robert, 39, is the growing company's CEO. Imelda Lopez-Sanchez is 36 and the head of human resources and Jaime, at 35 is the CFO.
With sales of $2 million in 2004, the restaurant is thriving. Plans are in the works for a second location to open on San Antonio's north side in 2006. Currently, Henry's sells between 1,000 and 1,500 of its signature dishes a day. "There are puffy tacos on every ticket. It might only be one person in a party of three, but there's always somebody ordering the puffy tacos." During its 27 years of existence, Jaime estimates the restaurant has sold somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million.
But there's one that's not for sale.

Getting on the Road to Whole Grains
Grain products, including whole grains, are best known for providing valuable fiber in the diet. Whole grains may help in weight loss and decrease your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Grains come from cereal, bread, pasta, or rice. Eating whole grains is not a new way to eat, but a change to what you are used to. Making the change is not as hard as you may think. Here is an overview of how to get you and your family on the road to a healthier diet.
Why Whole Grains are Good
Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel. You may have heard of bran and (wheat) germ. They are parts of the whole grain.
Whole grains are available in a variety of foods such as pasta, cereal, breads, and crackers. They are best known for their fiber content, but they also supply important nutrients and are low in fat. In fact, whole grains are associated with many health benefits such as lower cholesterol, weight control, and prevention of illnesses like diabetes. Whole grains fill you up faster and take longer to digest.
Many of the grain products that we eat are made from refined flour. This means the grain is processed to a point where some or all the nutritional value is gone. Sometimes nutrients are added back into the product but they are not as healthful as an unprocessed whole grain. This means we get the calories without gaining nutritional benefit.
You already eat foods made from grains, making your diet rich in whole grains will only require some fine tuning.
Making the Change to Whole Grains
The United States Department of Health and Human Services recommends making at least half the grains you eat whole grains.
When you think about all the cereals, breads, or pastas that you and your family eat each day you can see how many opportunities you have to introduce whole wheat to your diet. It may be easier to start with breakfast since this meal tends to have the largest servings of grain products.
The taste, texture, and feel of whole grain products may seem different than what you are used to. Experiment with different types of whole grain products. If whole wheat bread doesn't work for you, try whole grain pastas or snacks. There are many different products available to help you sneak whole wheat in to your diet without a lot of sacrifice. But, beware, not all whole grain products are created equal.
Become a Label Reader
Take time to read and understand nutrition labels. Sometimes labels can be tricky. True whole grain products will be made of 100% whole grain. These may include some of the following examples:
- Whole wheat
- Oatmeal
- Quinoa
- Whole grain or brown rice
- Popcorn
- Whole rye
- Whole grain barley
Be careful of words like wheat, stoned wheat, enriched wheat, or seven grain. They may not be whole grains. Color can also be deceiving. Brown color can be just a dye or brown sugar and white products may have some whole grains.
Gradually replace the refined grains you eat with whole grains. Before you know it, you will be eating whole grains all the time. Your final goal should be to have at least half the grains you eat be whole grains.

Validated spectrophotometric method for quantitative
determination of Artemether in pharmaceutical formulation
By Pratap Y. Pawar, Manisha P. Chavan, Geetanjali K. Ghanwat, Manish A. Raskar, Harshada P. Bhosale
The simple, accurate and precise UV-Spectrophotometric method has been developed and validated for quantitative determination of artemether in capsules. The method employed lN HCl as a solvent and used to derivatize a drug. The proposed method obeyed the Beer's law in the concentration range of 5-40 μg/ml. The linear regression showed good linear relationship with r2 = 0.998, slope and intercept were 0.0182 and 0.006622 respectively. Method was validated statistically where SD and RSD were found to be satisfactorily low. Percentage recovery of the drug for the proposed method was found in the range of 99.5-100.86% indicating no interference of the capsule excipients. The results of the capsule analysis were validated with respect to accuracy, precision and recovery studies which were found to be satisfactory. LOD and LOQ for artemether were found to be 2.30 μg/ml and 4.08 μg/ml respectively. The utility of the developed method has been demonstrated by analysis of commercial formulation containing this drug.
Keywords : Artemether, UV Spectrophotometry, Derivatization, 1N HCl, Distilled Water.

Meet Lin Yu Chun, The Next Susan Boyle (Video)
Lin Yu Chun, 23, is making the round on the Internet as the next music talent show phenomenon. He appeared on Taiwan's "Super Star Avenue," where he belted out a stunning rendition of Whitney Houston's I will Always Love You.
The winner of Super Star Avenue gets approximately $1 million and a chance to record his or own album. But with the popularity of this recent clip around the world, Chun may not need the talent show to get the eyes and ears of record executives.
Perhaps he will follow the same path as Susan Boyle, who has become a music star despite losing "Britain's Got Talent" to Diversity.

'Uncooperative' Woman Pepper-Sprayed, Deputies Say
A Lowville woman allegedly had to be pepper-sprayed while she was being processed by Jefferson County sheriff's deputies following a fight with her sister in Dexter early Sunday morning.
Deputies say 36 year old Crystal Martin allegedly had both her hands around her sister's neck, making it difficult to breathe. She also allegedly dug her fingernails into her sister's face.
Deputies say she became "uncooperative" while they were booking her and had to be subdued.
Also during processing, deputies say they found a small bag of marijuana in her purse.
Martin was charged with criminal obstruction of breathing, third degree assault, unlawful possession of marijuana and promoting prison contraband.
She was arraigned in Glen Park village court and sent to jail on $500 bail.

I'm liking what your thinking. Let's not forget.... Artest wants to come to NY....
This may sound ridiculous, but KG may help our team without putting on a Knicks uniform. Because KG is approaching 30 and wants to contend for a title, Minnesota is pressed to accomodate Kg with pieces to make a championship run. That's where the Knicks come in. If KG is as interested in Marbury as it was printed in the NY papers, then we could actually rebuild. Check this out...
1) There is no way we go into next season with Brown Marbury and Thomas ALL associated with the Knicks. One of them if not all have to go.
But if we trade Marbury, which is the only way we could actually rebuild, Minnesota is probably the only team that would take him AND give up their lottery pick in the process. I would give up Marbury for a pick and a throw in player to make the salaries match.
2) Now if this works, we would have 3 first round picks, two expiring contracts (Taylor and J Rose) withAllan Houston and Shandon Anderson coming off the books(Please correct me if I'm wrong)
3) The deal would be lopsided but we would have the projected 9th pick in the draft, plus two others. If we keep Isiah or get a better proven GM, we could do something good with those picks. Minnesota SHOULD do the deal cause they would have Davis and Marbury in the backcourt to go along with Garnet. If they want size, I'd throw in Butler to sweeten the deal, maybe we could unload Q if they give us somebody else we could use.
4) I would then use the midlevel exception to sign somebody like Mike James and put Francis on the trade block, James is a really good defender and can score. We would then need an athletic 2 guard that can defend.
I would package either Taylor or Rose with a pick for a solid two way player if one is available at the right price. Maybe we could get Al Harrington.
5) Lastly, we need to develop Curry Frye and Hopefully even James...
Get Frye to gain 10 to 15 pounds, and Curry and James to lose 10 to 15 pounds
I know it doesn't sound like a definite plan, but maybe it could lead to something good
Everybody's an expert

I'm liking what your thinking. Let's not forget.... Artest wants to come to NY....
rebuild? thats what we are doing now. we mite have the largest payroll but we are rebuilding. now if you are speaking of a get under or near the cap kind of rebuilding and getting more young players. then i dont exactly think youll be correct. as good as that sounds.. well it actually doesnt.
larry doesnt want a team full of young guys. he has even gone on record to saying "we should trade the draft picks". he doesnt want more draft picks unless its Tyrus Thomas.
not saying the marbury thing wouldnt help. but Larry has gave Isiah a list of players he wants him to pursue in the offseason. how he gets them or who they are is little known. Harrington, Claxton and James are known to be on the list tho.
Expect a deal for Harrington to happen. and (okay hoops this is for you) expect Francis of Marbury to be shipped for him. i wouldnt even be surprised to see one or both of our picks included to get their first round pick. (moving up to get Thomas).
we need a SF and thats our first priority. we have a lot of pawns its just a matter of what direction Larry wants to go in. but trading them away for picks and salary space is not what I think will be done at all
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
I just have 1 question, who is the "throw in" salary that will match Marbury's? The Wolves would have to give us a couple of players and that means we would probably end up (if Miini is interested) with Mark Blount and one of the quards like Hudson and even another player to match his salary.
''we need a SF and thats our first priority. we have a lot of pawns i''
i agree we need a sf (amongt other things)... but what pawns do we have??
starbury.. with 60m still owed him
francis ... with 50+ m still owed him
next year we will be able to get rid of jalen rose and his salary, but i am sure thomas will take back a similar contract but of a longer duration..
keep in mind that orlando 'gave us' francis for free... think abt that... they found a 'sucker' to take him off their hands... we gave them penny , who they cut within days, and trevor...
so orlando who one day had francis and 50m+ salary on their books, magically the next day had deleted 50m+ from their books
not a bad trade... for orlando...
the only way stevie franchise is going anywhere is if there is a bigger idiot gm in the nba then our idiot gm we employ... i hope there is one... but i dont think so..
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention FIRE LARRY BROWN! Yes I know it would not be possible to truly rebuild with Larry here. I just don't trust Brown with his impatience, he might try to influence isiah or whatver GM we have coming here to use our contracts on AI or some other high priced guard we don't need or he won't play once he discovers he doesn't play defense and likes to score.But if we keep him as coach, WE MUST FIRE ISIAH or get rid of Marbury in order to move forward. I don't believe Brown RESPECTS Thomas, he may like working with him, but Brown has more power in this organization than he has ever had before due to the fact that Isiah is on the hot seat and Dolan has proven he does not know what the hell he is doing. That's why Brown has pissed on this roster 40 something times. If I were owner, it would be a mass exodus-maybe I'd give Brown 20 games next year to show me he's serious about winning WITH the talent I surround him with. Lastly, I'd even ponder dangling Curry as trade bait, especially if Frye bulks up; just to see what is available but mostly to motivate his fatass to get in shape.
Everybody's an expert

Hey hometheater guy, would you consider Eddie Griffin? Maybe they would give us Ricky Davis if we added Q-Rich or offered to flipflop with our projected 19th pick. All in all i think Minnesota is the "sucker" we need. They are the bad team with a superstar approaching 30 which has nothing to gain with a projected late lottery pick that is not enough to convince him to stay. He does not want to be part of a rebuilding process, and management will listen because he is the BIG Ticket, the guy who resurrected that franchise and puts fans in their seats. They may feel that a guy like Marbury would put them over the hump, and more importantly give KG a reason to stay. If I'm Kevin Mchale, I'd do this deal in a second. But I'm a Knicks fan putting himself in the shoes of Mchale, which means I'm biased, so, you know....
And yes, I would love Ron Artest.....This team needs attitude...toughness....Denver will have 3 power forwards next year, Nene, Martin, Evans...any one of those guys I'd put on this squad... they're coming off injuries but they are still young and all three are tough-maybe we get lucky and get a heatlthy Martin or Nene with Artest! Sorry for the pipe dream, just fantasizing!
Everybody's an expert

remember that rumor that was going around the past summer about trading tim thomas for marion in order to create space to resign joe johnson? i sure wished that woulda happened. anyway, in regards to trading francis or marbury, id rather be it francis leaving. sounds like a lame excuse, but marbury has his roots here and has something to play for unlike francis. marbury has never demanded a trade and makes it apparant that he wants to stay. now, about the cap. we have several players who are in their last year, some of them we MUST get rid of, like taylor, houston, im suprised we're not still paying starks or larry johnson. another question, do we keep jalen, or use him as a penny hardaway next year?
i hope the knicks keep jalen rose even though larry brown dislikes him...i love jalens game
It's Funny, I like Eddie Griffin but he has some issues that affect his performance and consistancy. He has a lot of promise but he gets in his own way. I'm not sure how he would exist with Brown either! Artest would be a great fit with Brown but he is another head strong guy and he wouldn't exist well with Frances and/or Marbury. The problen with this team is there are to many lead players and no role players. I would like to see the Knicks go after strong fundamental players, blue collar type guys. This team is missing the bangers! Guys who like to get down and dirty not be an ESPN highlight every game. I would like to see them get Troy Murphy, I think he would be a nice addition to the front line. I wouldn't mind having Reggie Evans coming off the bench but we already have a undersize 4 in Malik so that isn't an option. I would try to revisit the Kenyon trade with Denver again. We have 3 expiring contracts that we can use as well as 2 #1 picks. We have Lee who going to be a nice plaer in years to come, not a star but a blue collar guy that teams will like to have coming off their bench. THe Knicks can't wait on all the rookies to develope with the payroll they have and the season that they will be coming off of. They need 2-3 key moves to right this ship!Originally Posted by furious lord
1) Somehow get rid of either Marbury or Frances. I think Minni would be interested if Ganrnette endorsed the move. I would take anyone back as long as I get their pick!
2) Address the 4 position. We have Frye and that is our Chip for the future but we need toughness their. Like I said earlier, I would like Troy Murphy or Martin from Denver.
3) Small Forward- This is one of the Key spots that needs to be addresses. I would love to pop in a guy like Deng or see if I could pry Joey Graham from Toronto. I like Harrington as well but I think he might clash with Marbury and/or Frances. I would like to if Thomas could draft a defensive guy for that spot as well. I have more confidence in him drafting a guy for the spot then trading for or signing someone.
Even Larry doesn't know the type of players he wants....
He wanted Jrose and Francis so Isiah went and got them - now he doesn't even play them...
Larry Brown is a joke!
The old fool needs to accomodate players strengths instead of running the knicks like a dictatorship and conforming them to play his way...
Bring in players Larry wants - please he's a ****ing *******....
Trust me Isiah could bring in Duncan, Melo, Lebron, AI, Matrix, Boozer, Amare, Odom and Wade and u know what - LB still couldn't make this team into a winner!
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
what pawns do we have? lets see..
two first round draft picks
three rooks going into their second year
a young center in Jackie Butler.
two expiring contracts in Taylor and Rose
two star PG's who toronto, minny and atlanta would like.
jamal crawford is another
the MLE
enough for ya?
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
i guess u are looking at the glass as half full, and me ... half empty..Originally Posted by NYKnicks15
i thought that we are trying to build via draft picks.. so are lee,frye,robinson now pawns??
what do u think we can get for butler??? he like lee might be a serviceable role player in a couple/few years.. but has little value.
2 expiring contracts in rose and taylor... yep... but in order to trade em, u gotta take back an equal contract
2 star pg... i guess i'm watching another knick team.. i don't see any 'star' pg's.. what value does francis have?? - orlando gave him to us for 'free'... and u think this summer his value is going to skyrocket into what... duane wade or kobe...???
as to starbury i think it's a big question mark if the hawks,toronto,minny will take him... 60m is a lot of $$$ for any team . if u are the toronto gm, u have a nice young cast of future stars... would u want to add 'stabury to the mix... not if u want to keep your job... .. and again u need to match contracts... well maybe toronto will send us bosh/james and charlie v.
i just don't 0see how thomas gets us out of this mess... maybe he does have a master plan... i hope so, cause it's getting tough watching this cast of characters...
one man's opinion... and u know what they say about opinions
oop's - time to watch gilbert and co.....
how we are wrong. let me count the ways.
toronto can take Marbury and so can Atlanta WITHOUT giving us back the same amount in contracts. seeing they will be under the cap and enough to take them on. giving us back in a sign and trade say Mike James or Al Harrington.
jackie butler just got 22 and 8 with 2 blocks. role player in two-three years? right..
no i dont think theyll skyrocket into wade or kobe. but they still have large value. you think someones value drops because of this season? when Francis was up for bid at the deadline Houston, Denver, Seattle, Memphis and Minny all put bids in for him. so to say no one will want him is ridiculous. the fact that these guys can play and that a small market or star hungry team could use a crowd drawer these guys could have someone bite.
and ur right we do need to take back a contract of equal value(s) to get rid of expiring contracts. but im saying that having that option is a great asset to us. especially two large ones.
who said we are trying to build through the draft? larry will tell you different. isiah will tell you different. like i said larry said he doesnt really see anyone in the draft thats that important (beside TyrusThomas) to waste a pick on. this offseason will be about trades. trades to get us the roster Larry has wrote down and already gave to Isiah.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
as i said opinions are like... so here is my two cents (and usually i get change... shows u how little my opinion is worth).. anycaseOriginally Posted by NYKnicks15
1. yes we could do a sign and trade with atlanta for harrinton , and/or toronto for james... if u were atlanta/toronto.. would u??
2. yep jackie got 22 point last nite... 'someone' must score.. and last nite jackie did.. curry had 5points, big jerome dnp. with a 22 point game , i am not ready to crown jackie the next shaq/duncan.
3. all i know is that orlando gave us francis for free... (more or less).. why would they give us him for free if there were all these other takers??.. i persume the orlando gm to be reasonably smart guy, why do we get francis if there were better offers??
4. i have to say i honestly don't know what is thomas and or browns intentions.. build via trades, or the draft (last year they stockpiled 3 1st rounder's). how can a team with the personel that the knicks have, no matter how they do not mesh, play like $hit almost every game. i mean there is no 'D'... none.. is it the coach?? i am lost for answers.. getting beat is one thing... but by halftime...
