The six keys to preparing for a doctor's appointment
Resource Content
In today's managed care environment, the time you spend face-to-face with your physician is limited. To get the most from your health care providers (HCPs) and an accurate diagnosis, preparation is the key. Good preparation will also go a long way to alleviate any anxiety you may be feeling about the appointment.
You increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis if you come prepared with the details and history of your problem, anticipate questions, know your medications and bring medical records. These six tips can help you make the most of your appointment.
1. Organize your history
The majority of the work lies in your description of the problem. While it's true that a physician gleans additional information from the physical exam, laboratory and imaging tests, the history provides valuable direction. The more organized your presentation, the easier it will be for your provider to arrive at a diagnosis. Helpful suggestions:
- Keep a journal of your symptoms.
- Ask a relative or friend to help you prepare for and/or accompany you to the appointment. Physicians appreciate an accurate history whether it comes from the patient or someone who clearly knows the problem. If someone does accompany you, be sure there's unified agreement to the story to avoid disagreements in the exam room.
- Be specific. Telling the doctor you "feel ill" is not as helpful as, "I feel warm, ache all over, especially in my back and I'm coughing up yellow stuff." Give as much information as you can
- Talk first about the problem that worries you most. If you have more than one problem, prepare a separate history for each. Present them one at a time so you don't confuse your HCP and strive to make it clear and complete.
2. Anticipate what the doctor will ask
Be prepared to answer specific questions about your symptoms. For example, if you are experiencing pain, your HCP may ask:
- Where is the pain most severe?
- When did it start?
- Does anything trigger it?
- Is there anything you do to bring it on, make it better, make it worse?
- Is it present every day, or do you have pain-free days?
- Is it worst in the morning, as the day goes on, or constant?
- On a scale of 1-10, how severe is the pain?
- Is it constant or off and on?
- Do you have any other symptoms with it such as chest pain, shortness of breath?
- Does the pain stay in one area or spread to other areas?
- Does it interfere with your daily routine?
- What has been its course? Is it stable or getting worse?
- Is this a new symptom or a recurrence of a previous problem?
These questions apply to most problems or symptoms. If you've thought about how you would answer them ahead of time, you'll be prepared. Taking less time to respond to these questions may leave more time to discuss your concerns before the end of the appointment.
3. Know your medications
Each doctor needs to know what drugs you are taking, including those prescribed by other physicians. Bring ALL your medications -- prescription, non-prescription, vitamins, herbs, minerals -- in their original containers to your appointment. This way the doctor understands the medication dosage, frequency and your need for refills.
For all your regular medications, keep an updated card in your wallet or purse with the names of the drugs, dosage and frequency. This helps your physician avoid potential drug interactions. It's not uncommon for patients to be seen by several specialists, each of whom prescribes different medications.
4. Bring your medical records
Bring copies of medical records from other physicians with you, including the results of any imaging studies such as X-rays or MRIs. If another physician has referred you, try to expedite the exchange of medical records. Very often, you must authorize the release of your records to the new physician. Not every doctor's office will anticipate this or contact you beforehand to arrange for the transfer of records. Call ahead and ask how these arrangements should be made. The successful transfer of your records may help you avoid the expense and medical risk of repeat diagnostic tests.
If your health insurance allows a consultation with a specialist, your first visit may be your only one with that doctor, so it helps to be as prepared as possible.
5. Request a verbal summary of follow-up instructions
While many HCPs are aware of the need to restate treatment plans or medication adjustments, others may not do so. Sometimes time restrictions decrease the amount of verbal reinforcement the doctor can offer.
Ask for a brief summary of the provider's instructions to make sure all points are covered and necessary prescriptions filled out. Ask what kind of follow-up is needed. Be prepared to take notes.
6. Ask these questions during your visit
- Is further diagnostic evaluation necessary?
- What can I expect in the future?
- Is there treatment available to modify the course?
- How long before I should see the effects of the medication?
- Under what circumstances should I notify the doctor?
Your physician needs your help. If your expectation is that all you have to do is show up for an appointment and the doctor will do the rest, your visit is likely to be a frustrating one, and you may put yourself at risk for misdiagnosis.

Invest in Nursery Education for Better Exam Results
Most of the attention in our education system is paid to the older end - exams and universities. Yet much of the action - in terms of making a difference - takes places at the start. Or even before children arrive at school. Put it this way: if you want better GCSE results, you should invest in nursery education.

On that day, the first day of practice last year, there was no one in front of him. One year and one torn ACL later, he showed up for the first day of the Bulldogs' 2005 camp and the landscape has changed completely.
Most of his life he's heard the old cliche, "You can't lose your job due to injury."
"Yeah, it can happen," Lumpkin said. Georgia started practice Friday with sophomore Thomas Brown as the No1 tailback, and, until the season opener on Sept. 3 against Boise State,Brown's defense of that spot will be the most-watched position battle onthe team.
"They're not starters until they start in a game, right?" Coach Mark Richt said.
All three of the Bulldogs' top runners -- Brown, Lumpkin and Danny Ware -- have started at least one game as the featured back. The pedigree of his backups "motivates me every day," Brown said.
"I can't let up at all," he said. "If I do, I'll lose my job. It's going to be a battle every day."
Brown earned the starting spot for now by combining the power of Ware and with at least the athleticism of Lumpkin. At just 5-foot-8, 183pounds, he's the strongest player on the team pound-for-pound. In theteam's recently completed summer conditioning program, he became the first player in Richt's tenure to post a power index of higher than 7.0(7.1).
He achieved that measure of total strength by bench-pressing 425 pounds, squatting 550 and power cleaning 321, but it will take more than amazing acts of strength to put significant distance between himself and Ware and Lumpkin. "If they all play as well as they have in the past, I don't think there's a lot of difference in them," offensive coordinator Neil Callaway said. "We'll just have to rotate them and keep them fresh."
Their career average in yards per carry illustrates the closeness of the competition. Brown's is 5.1 to Ware's 5.0 and Lumpkin's 4.7.
"Danny Ware can run around you or just run over you," defensive tackle Kedric Golston said. "Kregg can do the same thing and so can Thomas. If there had to be a difference, Thomas can probably outrun a couple more people."
Richt has been asked for months now if the Bulldogs have used Auburn's two tailback system of Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams as a template for their plan this year. In fact, he said, Georgia had already begun developing its two-back system before Lumpkin was hurt last year.
The Bulldogs' system will require Ware and Lumpkin to play some fullback.
"Now don't go crazy, they are not going to be the traditional I-formation fullback that takes on a middle linebacker down after down after down," Richt said.
However, no matter the name of the position or the formation, there's one basic truth, Richt said.
"You can put three tailbacks in the backfield, but only one guy gets to touch it," he said. "The key for us regardless of how we line them up is who gets the ball."
Ware said he hoped each tailback would get "at least" 10 carries a game, but Callaway said there's no way to plan that kind of thing.
"We'll have a plan for it, but we may get into a game and one of them is hot as a firecracker or one of them can't hold onto the ball," he said.
Georgia's coaches have used the Auburn situation as motivation as much as anything, highlighting the fact that both Brown and Williams were taken in the first five picks of last year's NFL Draft.
"Coach (Mike) Bobo brought that up to me the other day," said Ware, who is up to 223 pounds after playing at 216 last year. "He said, 'Ronnie Brown didn't start, and he went No. 2 .' That stuck in my head."
Whoever ends up starting the game, all the backs have to resign themselves to the fact that, "you're not going to rush for 1,500-2,000 yards," Brown said.
"All of us want to be the man, but we're not Oklahoma where Adrian Peterson gets 30-35 carries a game," Ware said. "You can definitely get frustrated at times, but it's all right."

The Hope4Cancer® Institute has two locations in Baja California, Mexico and Cancun, Mexico. Its flagship cancer clinic, established in 2000 in Baja California, Mexico is located only a few minutes from the San Diego/Mexico border, providing patients with easy access to alternative treatments that may not be available elsewhere in North America. Its new Cancun treatment center (Hope4Cancer Baseline Cancun) was launched in November 2015 to provide capacity for increased demand at a location favorable to medical tourism. Since 2000, the Hope4Cancer Institute has provided cancer patients with alternative treatments that treat the cancer without subjecting patients to harmful side effects often found with conventional treatments.
The Hope4Cancer® Institute was founded by Dr. Antonio Jimenez, a successful cancer physician and clinical researcher, who knew that there was a better way to treat cancer patients who were experiencing significant side effects from conventional medical care. He wanted to provide patients with first-class care using the latest non-toxic, non-invasive treatment options available.
He also wanted to make sure patients and their families experienced the best in healthcare amenities during their stay. To ensure this, the clinic in Baja California, Mexico was renovated in 2011 and then again in 2015, and provides a number of world-class amenities, including selected patient rooms with an ocean view, a garden oasis for relaxation and meditation, an organic vegetarian menu, a juice bar, access to the Pacific Ocean beach and boardwalk, and more.
Treatment Modalities Available at the Hope4Cancer® Institute
- RIGVIR® Virotherapy: A virus is used to seek out cancer cells and destroy them. It can also help restore the ability of the immune system to identify the cancer.
- PNC-27: A small peptide that binds to cancer cell membranes, perforates and kills them. PNC-27 leaves healthy cells untouched resulting in specific, non-toxic action.
- Sono-Photo Dynamic Therapy: Sound waves and light waves are joined with a sensitizer to selectively target cancer cells without putting healthy cells at risk.
- Hyperthermia: As tumors are much more susceptible to higher temperatures than healthy cells, focused heat is applied to tumors. In addition to destroying cancer cells, hyperthermia can relieve pain and other cancer symptoms.
- Bioimmunotherapy AARSOTA: Did you know that your body produces cancer antigens to destroy cancer cells? The Hope4Cancer® Institute extracts these antigens to fight against cancer.
- Anti-Cancer IV Therapies: A number of IV treatments are available that treat the cancer and rebuild the immune system, including Vitamin C, PolyMVA, B-17 and more.
Every alternative anti-cancer treatment at the Hope4Cancer® Institute is non-invasive and non-toxic. They are also much more affordable than conventional treatments that could cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. These alternative anti-cancer treatments enjoy far fewer side effects than chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery as well. The goal is to treat not only the disease, but the underlying symptoms to improve quality of life for patients who truly need the best individualized care possible.

Any filler injected between the eyes (glabella) can cause blindness. This can occur when the filler is injected into a blood vessel then traveled to the blood supply to the eye. This is rare but can occur. This is why I do not inject fillers between the eyes. Botox is the best option for this area. Please consult with an expert injector or the best treatment plan.

Can Juvederm between the eyes if done wrong cause blindness?
Thanks for your important question. Fillers in almost any area of the face can cause complications but the most feared are loss of vision due to retrograde injection into an artery. This is only partly technique dependent and there is no guarantee that it will not happen leading me and many others to avoid ever injecting fillers (especially fat) into the vertical 11 lines between the brows. Admittedly it is a rare complication but one that I do not wish to experience for any of my patients.
Xeomin or Botox are very effective in this area and I personally would be satisfied with the results from use of a neuromodulator alone if I were you.

Fillers and blindness
Thank you for your question. Any filler injected in the face could cause blindness if the filler is accidentally injected into an artery. Luckily this is very rare. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase injections if any side effects occur.

Thank you for your excellent question. Vascular occlusion causing blindness is a known, but extremely rare, complication when filler is injected in the glabellar area.

Can Juvederm between the eyes if done wrong cause blindness?
Hello Sam1238,
There have been reports when people were receiving fillers into the vertical 1s (between the eyes, AKA the glabella) that lost vision. This occurred when the filler entered into a blood vessel that then traveled to the blood supply to the eye. It is rare, but it is for this reason that I personally do not inject filler into that area. The other possibility that can happen is that even if the vessel is not injected, if the vessel is compressed or squeezed down because of the filler placed above, it can stop the blood supply to a small area of the forehead and cause skin loss, which has also been shown to happen.
There are some treatment options for that area, and I recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon to learn the surgical and non surgical options.
I hope this helps and good luck.

Can Juvederm between the eyes if done wrong cause blindness?
Facial fillers are injected to improve the contours of the face. It is a very safe and reliable office-based procedure when performed with appropriate technique for the right indications.
Any facial filler injected in the area between the eyes (glabella) using any technique (including blunt cannula) has the potential for entering a blood vessel and causing blindness. It is an extremely rare complication. I have only read reports about it. Neuromodulators (Dysport, Xeomin, Botox) produce a safe and reliable result in the glabella, so I would rather not expose my patients to the risk of fillers in that particular area. Safety comes first.
Web reference: http://www.lajollafacialplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/fillers
Filler in the glabella
Any type of filler injected into the glabella could on a rare occasion cause blindness. We usually try to stick to Botox/Dysport since these can usually soften the lines significantly.
Vascular occlusion and blindness from Juvederm
This can occur if injected intravascularly in the glabellar area. This is often not fully explained to patients. I don't inject in this area often with filler. Botox can manage most wrinkles in this area. Unfortunately, blindness is rarely reversible after it occurs.

Can Juvederm between the eyes if done wrong cause blindness?
Thank you for your question. Although very rare, it is possible to cause blindness by injecting filler between the eyes. It is, of course, important to have this treatment done only by an expert injector. Also, if you are referring to filling in frown lines, oftentimes several rounds of a neuromodulator (e.g., Botox, Dysport) is the best and safest first step before considering filler in that area.
Expertise = Priceless
There is an extremely rare chance of blindness when the filler is placed around the eyes. I suggest you get cannula injections of fillers for the best and safest results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey W. Milsom
I first met Dr Milsom when he was working under Dr Fazio at the Cleveland clinic..Dr fazio did my J pouch and Milsom did the reversal surgery..He is a great surgeon and has definitely learned from the best..if you need colorectal surgery he is the go to guy..
I love DR. Milsom so much!! He spends time explaining every detail and you can tell he loves his job and his patients. He truly is a angel.
Dr Milsom is the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. He saved my life. After suffering from ulcerative colitis, then Crohn's disease I had a total colectomy & an ileostomy. Then I suffered a small bowel rupture. Unfortunately the ambulance had to take me to the nearest hospital. The surgeon did a good job, but it just wasn't Dr Milsom. I later developed massive infections & immediately went to see Dr Milsom. I ended up staying in the hospital for over 4 months. Every time I had to have surgery (which was often) Dr Milsom was there in the OR before I went under to reassure me & hold my hand while I drifted off. He always made sure to talk to my family and reassure them also. I can't say enough about him. I have met other patients of Dr Milsom in random places & they don't have to say his name. As soon as they start talking about this wonderful, kind, considerate & most competent surgeon I know...I ask them "Is his name Dr Jeffrey Milsom?" Every time they are astonished & their response is,'"Yes. How did you know?" That will tell you that he treats us all as if we are VIPs. He is a Godsend to many people & their families.
A wonderful, caring and very knowledgable doctor!
Dr. Milsom saved my life 11 years ago. Since then I never missed a scheduled follow-up or test. In the last 11 years visited Dr. Milsom's office 15 - 20 times. Each visit was very reassuring and gave me great confidence that I am getting the best care possible. Dr. Milsom gives you the feeling that you are his most important patient. Takes time to check everything and to make sure that I am reassured that things are ok.
Dr Milsom is the best surgeon in the world!he is smart, caring, patient, gifted and has a big heart!!!!!!!
Dr. Milsom has performed two major surgeries on me in the last year and was following me for a couple of years prior to the surgeries. Although the operations and recovery have not been easy, they have been considered successful aside from a few bumps along the way that are totally unrelated to his surgical expertise. I have complete trust in his surgical skills and experience, his diagnosis, his treatment plans and I always leave his office with hope. He is a top expert in his field, has a very calm demeanor, is exceptionally patient and cares deeply about his patients and their well being. He is the blueprint for what all surgeons should aspire to be.
Im in my early 30's and I'm disabled for the rest of my life becasue of Dr. Milsom & he could care less. Because he damaged a nerve in my pelvis I am no longer able to have sex or have children. I had a fast paced great career that I lost due to the fact that I'm in constant pain. Its been a year since he did this to me and he has not called me once to even check up on me. he is over booked and thinks hes a god. What should have been an overnight surgery ended me up with a damaged nerve and a hole in my colon so at 30 yrs old I had a ileostomy! Which means I had to poop though a bag on my stomach. This should have been a simple 123 easy breezy surgey. But he is so geedy he didnt take me into the operating room till 3am!! and he was probablt exhausted when he made his mistake. Now im disabled, never 2 have sex again or children or work & he gets $30,000 of my hard earned money. Dont listen to the hype, hes a arragent **** who knows nothing.
Dr. Milsom is amazing. His surgical skill,patience, knowledge and bedside manner are the absolute best. After 25 years of suffering from Ulcerative Colitis, I just had step 1 jpouch surgery with him and all went exactly as planned with no real bumps in the road other than some pain from recovery.
There's nobody like Dr. Milsom! He's the most genuine, concerned & knowledgeable doctor I've ever had. After 4 years of enduring internal pain & trauma from a previous surgeon's 3 internal medical errors; then another set of surgeons that did little to correct them- It was Dr. Milsom who saved my life.

Southern Magnolia Tree Facts in Deep South Landscapes
Blooming Magnolia from Bud Stage to Wide Open
Southern Landscapes
A great many tall and stately magnolia trees dot the lawns in southern landscapes and where we live in Houston, Texas is no exception.
Judging from the numerous magnolia trees planted in our neighbor's yards, the local nurseries selling those trees must do very well especially in the Spring of the year when the southern magnolia puts on its rainment of those creamy to white large and showy blossoms.
Just taking a walk around our subdivision, the air is sweetly perfumed with the extremely fragrant magnolia blossoms combined with other plants like jasmine which also exudes its fragrance around the same time of year. Quite the natural air freshener!
I captured many of these beautiful flower photos as well as some magnolia tree photos with my handy digital camera this last Spring while my husband and I were taking one of our morning walks.
The Deep South
When people think of the Deep South, generally the U.S. States lumped into that category consist of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
For certain, the Southern Magnolia trees grow well there, but they also grow from South Carolina all the way following the Atlantic coastline south to Florida and extend west beyond Louisiana to Oklahoma and the eastern parts of Texas where we have wonderful specimens growing in our Houston subdivision.
These tall pyramidal shaped trees are also known as the Magnolia grandiflora and come from the family Magnoliaceae.
They can commonly grow to heights of sixty to eighty feet and about half as wide so definitely need enough space in which to spread out and flourish.
They like moisture plus well drained soil but can withstand drought conditions better than some other types of trees.
This is good as Texas withstands some drought conditions on occasion. Other types of trees during severe droughts show great distress and even die. I have yet to notice any magnolia trees doing this at least so far.
The Southern Magnolia is an evergreen variety of tree. It does best growing in full sun.
It commonly blooms each Spring and its blossoms can adorn the trees for up to a month or longer from beginning to end of the flowering season.
Magnolia Blossoms
Shows the Progression from Flowering Magnolia Blossoms to Seeds
The size of the blossoms coming from the Southern magnolia are huge! They can be up to one foot or more (12 to 14 inches) in diameter when fully opened. It would be hard to ignore a flower of this dimension! The buds are sizable also as one might imagine.
Even after fully opened these waxy petaled blossoms continue to enthrall the onlooker as the creamy color changes to a sepia tone eventually losing its grasp on the tree and falling to the ground joining the large leathery leaves which are continually shed on a year round basis.
If one chooses to have a Southern Magnolia tree in one's landscape this must be taken into consideration. Picking up the thick leaves of which each one can be up to a foot long is a regular chore to keep a garden looking tidy and well maintained.
As one might be able to tell from the photos of the trees, the shade provided by the tree is also dense. Often grass does not grow well under these trees unless they are trimmed up from the ground so as to let more sunlight in around the base of their single stemmed trunks.
In the photo shown above these homeowners have purposely pruned their magnolia tree up from the ground to better fit the landscape and allow more light to hit the grassy areas.
After the blossoming time is over, brown cones are left with the bright red seeds of the Southern Magnolia. Birds love to eat these seeds. It also becomes nourishment for squirrels and opossums which savor this tasty seed treat.
One can propagate these trees from seeds successfully if one has the patience to see them grow from seedling stage to that of blossoming which would be many years.
Do you have a Southern Magnolia tree growing in your garden/yard?
From Southeastern Asia to America's Deep South and beyond, there are hundreds of species from the genus known as magnolia.
While the non-hybridized ones do best in warmer climates such as zones 7 to 9 in the United States, some cold hardy cultivars can now be seen in areas further north even to zone 5 such as up in parts of Ohio.
Magnolias have been developed as to many variations in size and also now come in a variety of colored blossoms. Some of these trees are deciduous meaning that they lose their leaves in the winter.
So if one wishes to have one of these beauties in one's landscape, a person now has more choices than ever from which to choose.
Some interesting facts about Magnolias...
- These trees are pollinated by beetles, not bees!
- The Southern Magnolia is the State Tree of Mississippi
- The Southern Magnolia is the State Flower of Mississippi and of Louisiana
Our yard and garden has more than its fair share of trees and plants, so for now I will simply continue to admire the southern magnolia trees in our neighbors yards especially every Spring when the strong fragrance of their milky white blossoms scent the air.
The Southern Magnolia is the state flower of Louisiana and Mississippi.

Decorating with Magnolias
Slide Show Showing Different Types of Magnolias Set to Music
Not only can the beautiful blossoms be floated in a dish of water and used as a centerpiece, but in the South often times I have seen the dried leaves of magnolia trees spray painted and woven into Christmas wreaths or garlands.
They also provide wonderful materials for centerpieces in their natural state as the tops of the leaves are a deep green and the underside is a cinnamon shade of brown.
The cones containing the seeds are also an interesting component which can be utilized in arrangements.
So if you have a magnolia tree or know a neighbor with one, think of using some of this natural material the next time you wish to decorate your home for a party or a special occasion.
Many artists through the years have used magnolia blossoms as subject matter.
My mother-in-law used to have a picture of one proudly displayed in her living room as well as a ceramic magnolia blossom which she used in various places in her home at different times.
Hope you enjoyed this look at the magnificent Southern Magnolias and perhaps learned something that you did not already know.
Thinking of the Deep South without magnolia trees gracing the landscape it just wouldn't seem right!

Comments are welcomed.
My leaves are not as large and shinny as my neighbors. I have tiny white dots on the leaves. The tree is 25 feet tall and is loaded with buds. We have had a good rain nearly every week. What should I do about the dots of the leaves and the fact that the tree looks tired?
I used to have several in my back garden because this is one flower I love so much. It is good to see your magnolias. They are lovely. A friend told me how beautiful it is in Savannah when these flowers are in full bloom.

Following Tiger
By Kickntrue on 12/17/08
There is a new book I keep hearing about available for the holidays, "Follow The Roar: Tailing Tiger On All 604 Holes of His Most Spectacular Season", by Bob Smiley. Smiley is a former sitcom writer who needed a project during the writer's strike so he decided to follow every one of Tiger's golf shots in 2008. He did it just as a fan with no access to Tiger or even with Tiger's knowledge. Unfortunately for Smiley, Tiger's year was cut short. At least what he saw was pretty amazing- and did allow him to get his book out a year earlier than he probably expected.
I've heard about this book from a couple sources now with most saying it's pretty great. The Deadspin.com link below has a couple excerpts.

I started reading it at Barnes & Nobles and its great I went back last night and it was gone, bummer. I guess will buy it on amazon it was very enjoyable.
saintsman says:
my friend and fellow oobgolfer gabriel moreno met bob smiley(the author) at Torrey Pines during the US Open. We both got the book on the day it came out and read it in like a few hours. We have decided Its one of the best golf books ever written.

Rank the Rangers #5
Marc Staal is the winner of round 4 with 63.38% of the votes cast.
The general idea for the poll was to rank the players based on who everyone thinks is most valuable. Take into account overall play and not necessarily point totals, although they do help. Ignore the contract if that's at all possible. It's more like looking at the players in a vacuum if you ignore contracts.
#0 -- Henrik Lundqvist
#1 -- Rick Nash - 50%
#2 -- Ryan McDonagh - 68.87%
#3 -- Derek Stepan - 77.08%
#4 -- Marc Staal - 63.38%
#5 -- ???
Sorry about the delay on this one, my computer was indisposed.
Tough choice between Cally and Girardi. I went with Cally.
If the poll is most valuable, not best, Girardi should have been #4.
Its Cally in my book. Even on nights when he's not scoring he brings so much to the table.
Callahan easily, brings so much to the table.
Girardi. I was extremely frustrated with Callahan last season. I don't know if it's just because the glitz and glamor of finally having a homegrown blue-collar player wore off, but if I saw one more blind behind the back backhand pass from Callahan after streaking down the left wing I was going to flip. I'm sick of his lack of creativity. Doesn't mean he's not a good player, but he's not better than a #1 defender.
And OP, you spelled Haley's name wrong. It's Micheal Haley. I guess his parents misspelled it too.
Captain Cally
It's become almost trendy to remind everyone that Callahan isn't a top tier player. But lest we forget just how much he's in the blood and spirit of this team. That's why he's the captain.
And no, he's not the best in the world. But now that the elites are out of the way, this one should be Callahan EASILY imo.
I would have voted for Girardi at number 4.
I love Staal, but with the emergence of McD as the top pairing LD, Girardi is more valuable to the Rangers than Staal as the top pairing RD.
Girardi for sure.
Easy Call
"Tough call: Went with Girardi"
"Tough call: Went with Callahan"
"Easy call: Girardi"
"Easy call: Callahan"
Seriously though, I went with Callahan. If we were to lose 1 player that would affect us the most, and if we were to build around 1 player, Callahan would be my choice.
If this poll is actually about value to the team as we have it constructed now, Danny would've been #3 behind Hank, Nash, McDonagh. He is our #1 RD for a reason. When Staal went out with an injury and McD had to step in, it was G who stabilized that pair. I have no idea why he doesn't get the love here he deserves. We have nobody else who can do what he does. Cally has been out with injuries before and we've been ok. Not that I don't appreciate what he brings to the team, but we can survive without him. Without Danny G? I'm not so sure....

Reviews for The Benjamin
A nice small quiet hotel well located on the upper East Side. It has been nicely renovated and is quite contemporary. There is a nice place for Breakfast or lunch next door. It is in a great location, near things we like to do. Theaters, shopping, MOMA. Will go back

they made my daughter who was celebrating her 13th birthday special by placing some cookies in our room when we arrived. during our stay a stuffed owl showed up to her delight. staff was friendly and helpful. great location, nice clean comfy room. loved our stay!

Having found a great deal online, I switched from my usual NYC hotel and decided to give the Benjamin a try. First impression at the kerbside was great. Friendly staff greeted me, took my bags and introduced me to reception staff. Check in was friendly, swift and efficient too. The lobby felt cool and upmarket. My room on the 15th floor was a generous size for Manhattan but a little tired feeling. Couldn't say what exactly, but it didn't have the same feel as the lobby. Huge comfy bed, well stocked mini bar and snack selection. One problem became immediately apparent though, the noise from the street 15 floors below. Even with all the windows tightly closed, it felt like the cars and sirens were right outside. I used the fitness suite which was adequate for a hotel of the this standard and the National in house restaurant was very good. Room service too, quick and delicious. Overall, a good solid 4 but definitely not a 5 and not "special". Sorry!
My husband and I took our teenagers to Manhattan for Spring Break. One of them was looking forward to going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The other wanted to see as many Broadway shows as she could fit into the stay. The Benjamin was located in just the right spot for us to feel comfortable letting them head out each day to join the beat of the city and explore the places they longed to see. We also went to Soho, Brooklyn and Chinatown but the hotel was located so close to the subway, these destinations were easy too. My favorite part was returning to the hotel at the end of a great day for a glass of wine in the hotel's restaurant/bar. It offers a bistro atmosphere as well as a well planned menu for both the beginning and end of the day. I would be happy to recommend the Benjamin to any of my friends.

PURPOSE: The inflammatory mediator interleukin-8 (IL-8) is responsible for the migration and activation of neutrophils, characteristic features of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Previous studies showed that the A allele of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region (-251A/T, rs4073) of IL-8 was associated with increased plasma IL-8 levels. Our hypothesis was that there is an association of genotype of -251A/T with occurrence of severe ARDS in Caucasian patients who had septic shock.
METHODS: We identified patients who had severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2 < 200 on day 1) in the vasopressin and septic shock (VASST) cohort, determined the association of the -251A/T genotype with frequency of severe ARDS and then tested for replication in a post cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CPB) cohort. DNA was extracted from blood samples of 1,384 patients (VASST, n = 467: CPB, n = 917). Patients were genotyped for IL-8-251A/T. Associations between genotype of IL-8-251A/T and frequency of severe ARDS and differences in mortality were analyzed using the chi-squared test and log-rank test, respectively. IL-8 mRNA expression was measured in genotyped lymphoblastoid cells in vitro.
RESULTS: The frequency of severe ARDS was greater in patients who had the AA genotype of -251A/T than patients who had the AT or TT genotypes in the VASST cohort (p=0.038) and in the CPB cohort (p=0.039). There was no significant association of -251A/T genotype with 28-day (VASST) or in-hospital (CPB) mortality in either cohort. The AA genotype -251A/T demonstrated the highest IL-8 mRNA whereas the lowest were found in TT genotypes (p=0.069).
CONCLUSIONS: The AA genotype was associated with greater IL-8 mRNA than the AT or TT genotypes. Patients who had the AA genotype of IL-8-251A/T had increased risk of severe ARDS in the Caucasians who have septic shock.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Patients who had the AA genotype of IL-8-251A/T had increased risk of severe ARDS in the Caucasians who have septic shock.

The focal point of the lobby is a three-story waterfall wall; water flows over a vintage photograph of the site's original 1904 hotel. That hotel featured a 30-foot, mezzanine-level, Tiffany domed skylight, which was restored in 2005.
Although it's high-style contemporary, the lobby pays homage to the original hotel's Beaux-Arts style. Faux-suede columns protruding slightly from walls replicate stone blocks on the building's outside corners. Venetian-stucco walls include hand-stenciled panels. Cylinders of sheer fabric sheath crystal chandeliers. Recessed theatrical lighting illuminates all. Varying styles of music play in the background.

Pero la chica es recluida en un psiquiátrico y sus acusaciones desoídas. Años después, la joven abogada Ami Vergano acude al partido de su hijo Ryan. Debido a la violencia con que concluye un incidente en el partido, el episodio salta a los informativos nacionales. Ami Vergano, involuntariamente involucrada en el paranoico mundo de Vanessa y Rice, no sabe si las acusaciones de éstos son el producto de dos mentes enfermas: será ella quien deberá decidir a quién y qué creer.

Lost Lake LP
Chapter One
Portland, Oregon -- The Present
The organizers of the Portland Spring Art Fair had lucked out. It had been a very wet March in Oregon and the weather seers were predicting rain through most of April. But Mother Nature had redecorated in the nick of time, storing away the endless precipitation and gloomy black clouds for another day and setting out sunshine and clear blue skies for the weekend of the fair.
Ami Vergano had dressed in a multicolored peasant skirt and a white blouse with short puffed sleeves to celebrate the pleasant weather. Ami was just over five-four and still had the solid build of the gymnast she'd been until she grew in high school. She kept her brown hair short because it was easy to care for. Her big brown eyes dominated her face. Circumstances had turned Ami serious, but her wide, bright smile could light up a room.
Ami was delighted at the large crowds that were taking advantage of the first sunny days of spring to roam the Park Blocks in search of art. Her booth had attracted people since the fair opened, and three of her oils had sold already. She was putting the money from her most recent sale into her purse when someone spoke.
"I like that. Is it imaginary or did you paint a real scene?"
Ami turned and found a broad-shouldered man admiring one of her landscapes. His face had the tanned, leathery look of someone who spends a lot of time outdoors. Ami figured him for five-ten and in his mid- to late forties. He was dressed in jeans, moccasins, and a plaid long-sleeved shirt. His long hair was gathered in a ponytail, and he had a scraggly mustache and goatee. He brought to mind the hippies of the peace and love generation in the 1960s.
"That's a forest glade not far from my house," Ami said.
"I love the way you've captured the light."
Ami smiled. "Thanks. You have no idea how long I worked to get it just right."
"Dan Morelli," the man said, offering his hand. "I have the booth next door. I saw how many people have been going in and out of yours and decided to see what the fuss was all about."
"Ami Vergano," she said as she took Morelli's hand. It was large and comforting, like his smile. "What are you showing? I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to look around yet."
"I build custom-made furniture. Take a peek if you get a chance."
"I will. Are you from around here? I haven't seen you at our shows before."
"First time in Oregon," Morelli said.
"Where's home?"
"No place, really. I was an army brat. We moved from town to town. I've been living in Arizona, but it's too dry. I like the woods, the ocean."
"There's not much of that in Arizona."
"No, there's not. Anyway, I heard about the fair and thought I'd see if I could get a few orders."
"How's it going?"
"Good. One fellow who stopped by just opened an accounting office and he wants a desk, bookshelves, and some other stuff. That should keep me busy for a while. Now I just have to find somewhere to stay and a place to work."
Ami hesitated. She didn't know a thing about Morelli, but he seemed nice. She made a snap decision.
"You might be in luck. I have an apartment over my garage that I rent out, and my studio is in a barn behind the house. It has plenty of room for carpentry. There's even a workshop and power tools. A student was renting but he had to leave school early because of an illness in the family, so the apartment is empty."
"I have my own tools, but that does sound just right. Can I drive out after the fair shuts down and have a look?"
"What's the rent?"
She told him and Morelli smiled shyly. "I can make that." He stepped out of Ami's booth and looked over at his own. "Got to go. Looks like I have customers. I'd better sell something now that I have to pay rent."
Ami laughed and waved. "See you around five."
Morelli ducked out, and Ami wrapped her arms around herself. Finances had been tight since her tenant left. She could use the extra money. And it would be fun to have another artist around the place. Morelli seemed nice. She hoped it would work out.
Ami Vergano closed the screen door as quietly as she could and stood on the front porch watching Daniel Morelli teach her ten-year-old son how to throw a curveball. They were in the front yard under the aged oak tree that Ami called Methuselah. Morelli was squatting beside Ryan and gently adjusting his fingers on the seams of a badly scuffed hardball that, along with his mitt, was her son's prize possession. Ryan's brow wrinkled as he concentrated on getting the grip right, oblivious of the darkness that was descending at the end of a perfect spring day. Morelli was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt advertising a local microbrew.
When he stretched out his arm, his biceps, triceps, and forearm looked like coiled rope. For someone approaching fifty, Morelli was in good shape. Ami knew that he ran for miles in the morning because she'd seen him returning to his apartment lathered in sweat when she was leaving for work. Once she'd seen him with his shirt off and had been impressed by the etched perfection of his physique. She had also been surprised to see more than one long scar cutting across his back and stomach.
"That's right," Morelli said, and Ryan grinned with pride. Her son was an energetic, gawky towhead who played Little League with a passion and loved anything to do with baseball ...Lost Lake LP.

I have been a Margolin fan for many years but, for me, this book was not among his best. The details were overly repetitive. Characters rehashed the same issues over and over and I found myself skimming multiple sections. About a third of the way through the book, we were taken to various points decades back. These sections went on with tremendous detail, making it hard to stay connected to the characters in the present story. Also, I had a problem with the timeline. One of the main characters was drafted in the Vietnam War, yet he was only in his 40s in 2005. That being said, Margolin's writing is still crisp and entertaining. While I didn't love this book, it won't deter me from reading more from Phillip Margolin.
Take this one to the beach and you will knock it out in a day or two. Entertaining enough to hold your interest.
At first this author kept me involved because of his Portland connection, but that only goes so far. Paper characters and strained story line are disappointing.
Novelists cum attorneys tell their stories with ringing authenticity and revealing detail. Philip Margolin (Gone, But Not Forgotten; Ties That Bind; Wild Justice) practices that art with a skill that few can emulate. This time out, Margolin raises the bar even higher by creating a compelling female protagonist - Vanessa Kohler. Voice performer Deborah Hazlett is an articulate, polished reader who delivers both danger and sincerity with the sound of her voice. When Ami Vergano, a young single mother and an attorney in Portland, Oregon, goes to her son's little league game she is accompanied by a rather new friend, Dan Morelli. She's a bit surprised when Morelli steps in to take the place of an ailing assistant coach, but surprise quickly turns to horror when a brutal fight breaks out on the field. Many miles away Vanessa Kohler is riveted to her television set as she watches a news story about the bloodshed at the little league game. She has a checkered history - she's a former mental patient and has been dismissed as a crazy when she tries to tell officials about her father's involvement in a government conspiracy. The sight of Morelli propels her into action once again. Vanessa hires Ami to defend Morelli who is charged with attempted murder. What Ami discovers about Morelli's past is more than she bargained for, and Vanessa's accusations are equally troubling. It's up to Ami to find out the truth. Suspense all the way on this one - a terrific listen. - Gail Cooke
General Morris Wingate is running for his party¿ presidential nomination against the incumbent president. To the public at large he is a hero who used his security officers from the company he owns to rescue hostages in Afghanistan. What they don¿t know is that when Wingate ran the agency for intelligence data coordination, he formed a black ops organization and assigned the men to kill those he declared as enemy combatants of the United States.--- To dissolve his personal unit, Morris sent his men into a trap in North Vietnam where they all died except for Carl Rice who escaped. Carl was once the lover of Wingate¿s daughter Vanessa Kohler. When she found about the unit she tried to expose her father as a traitor, but he instead had her committed to a mental institution and now nobody takes her seriously especially since she works on the tabloid Exposed. Carl surfaces after fifteen years on the run; he and Vanessa team up in the hopes of exposing retired General Wingate to the American people.--- Phillip Margolin has written an exciting political thriller that captures and keeps the audience¿s attention even when fans knows almost from the start that Wingate is evil but cleverly eliminates anyone who knew about his clandestine activities.. The audience will keep reading just to find out given the lack of no paper trail or other evidence how Wingate can be convicted in a legal court room or in the court of public opinion. LOST LAKE is a chilling work because the premise feels so plausible.--- Harriet Klausner
