Our Procedures
Breast Augmentation Surgery
We at the Aesthetic Breast Surgery Centre have an approach that individualises both the surgical technique and implant choice to the patient. The most important thing we work together on is your desired outcome in terms of shape and size. We then work through what can reasonably be achieved based on your underlying breast shape and size and your chest wall shape, as well as your tissue quality, occupation, exercise requirements etc.
There are many different approaches to the surgery and many different implants available. Each can have an influence on the final outcome and it is the experience of over 20 years in this surgery that enables us to work closely with you to pick the right implant and technique. No one technique and no one style of implant will suit everyone. Also a round implant does not always give a round breast, and alternatively an anatomical implant does not always give a tear drop shaped breast!Read More
Breast Lifts (Mastopexy)
A breast lift is suitable for patients who have sufficient volume in their breasts but the breasts have dropped after pregnancy and breast feeding or with aging. If in a bra you are happy with the volume of your breasts then this may be more suitable than other forms of breast surgery. It can also be possible to have a breast lift after removal of implants rather than having new implants. This procedure can also be combined with breast implants if some volume is needed.Read More
Breast Reduction Surgery
At the Aesthetic Breast Surgery Centre we use a variety of surgical techniques and it is important that we use the one that best suits you. This will depend on your shape, age, and breast feeding requirements.
It is nearly always necessary to lift the nipple and this is moved upwards attached to an internal "stalk" of breast tissue. This stalk is otherwise termed "the pedicle" and can be superior, inferior or supero-medial. The choice depends on your shape to start with and where most of the tissue needs to be removed. It does not have anything to do with the scar placement.Read More

For an explanation of what Weatherwax Wednesdays are all about, read the introduction post. This week's Discworld quote comes from Witches Abroad, which is, among many other thing, a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. In the story, Granny Weatherwax and her companions are pitted against a more conventional fairy godmother, who is intent on scripting a happy ending for the characters.

"Here I Am, Dressing up as Christ"
July 12, 2010 by 97 Comments
C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity was the first apologetic work I read, and two elements immediately rang absolutely true to me. The first is Lewis's defense of an absolute morality (a law written on the hearts of Men) that is neither evolutionarily or culturally contingent.I am mostly in agreement with Lewis's treatment of absolute morality (particularly his comment that the Law of Human Nature belongs, like mathematics to the class of real truths). I have frequently found that the … [Read more...]

Van Eck International Investors Gold
If you want another rock-solid gold investment, consider the Van Eck International Investors Gold Fund (MUTF:IIGCX). Manager Joe Foster actually is a geologist by training, so this is the perfect way to play gold mining from a boots-on-the-ground production standpoint instead of a Wall Street speculation standpoint. This can be especially helpful when investing in early-stage gold companies.
Foster's track record has been sturdy. The fund has produced average annual returns of 18% in the past three years and 9% in the past five — though admittedly, performance lately has been ugly as miners and gold have fallen out of favor. The fund is 33% in the red during the past year. It's also worth noting the expense ratio is hefty, coming to about 2%.
But if you're a speculator looking for the next company to cash in on a big gold rush, Van Eck's gold fund might be the right choice for you.

- 2 large red bell peppers
- 2 large yellow bell peppers
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 3 jalapeño chiles
- 3/4 cup fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears)
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons finely shredded fresh basil leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the broiler and position a rack 8 inches from the heat. Broil the bell peppers and jalapeños until blackened all over. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 20 minutes to loosen the skins. Peel the bell peppers and jalapeños, then remove the seeds and ribs and transfer to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed, then scrape into a bowl.
In a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water, blanch the corn for 1 minute. Drain and let cool.
In a small dry skillet, toast the fennel and cumin seeds over moderately high heat, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. In a spice grinder, grind the seeds to a fine powder. Add the corn, lemon juice, basil and the ground seeds to the bowl. Season the salsa with salt and black pepper and let stand for 2 hours.

The arrival of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy compatriots in the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw will give new impetus to attempts to reform the judiciary, sources in Nay Pyi Taw said last week.
The third session of parliament will resume in the capital on April 23, after going into recess on March 23, and 42 NLD representatives are expected to take their seats in the upper and lower houses.
"We believe that the work of the Pyithu Hluttaw Legislative and Judicial Committee and broader efforts to correct the judicial pillar will be given new force when Daw Aung San Suu Kyi arrives in the Pyithu Hluttaw. We believe it will happen because Daw Suu very often said that she had three priorities, one of which was to work until there was real rule of law," the committee's chairman, Thura U Aung Ko, told The Myanmar Times last week.
"She always said to amend some provisions of the constitution in order to bring eternal peace for nationalities, to enjoy absolute human rights and to realise the rule of law. This is sure to happen," he said, adding that he believed the NLD's success on April 1 was "deserved".
Representatives said last week that the judicial pillar had developed more slowly than the executive, legislature and media sectors since President U Thein Sein's government took office in March 2011 and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's contribution to improving the judiciary could be significant.
However, it is not clear whether the NLD representatives will be invited to attend the third session on April 23 or be required to instead wait for the fourth session to take their seats.
Pyithu Hluttaw Office director U Khin Maung Oo said it depended on whether the Union Election Commission "accomplishes its task" of confirming their appointments in time.
The office will then despatch invitations to the newly elected representatives to attend the April 23 sitting, a prospect that most lawmakers supported.
"With the commission's appointment and the hluttaw's invitation they can attend the hluttaw session along with us. If their policy stance is in the public interest without any attachment to party, race or region – as Pyithu Hluttaw Speaker Thura U Shwe Mann always encourages – they can not only correct the judicial pillar but also solve many other important issues," said U Ye Tun, the Pyithu Hluttaw representative from Hsipaw in Shan State.
"We are optimistic. As we put our trust both in Thura U Shwe Mann and Daw Suu, we are sure that there will be a great deal of improvement in matters that are of benefit to public."
U Khine Maung Yi, the Pyithu Hluttaw representative for Ahlone, said the earlier the NLD representatives took their seats in parliament the better.
"The commission will hopefully issue an appointment letter to Daw Suu before the forthcoming session so that she can attend," he said.
"When some representatives became union ministers their places fell vacant and the hluttaws were under strength. I want newly elected representatives to promptly fill these empty positions as soon as possible to enable the hluttaws to perform with their full workforce."
However, not all were in agreeance. "If Daw Suu enters the hluttaw at the beginning of the fourth session it will give her more time to prepare," Thura U Aung Ko said. "For example, a proposal or a bill needs to be submitted 20 days in advance and a query about 10 days in advance. She will dominate the agenda if she enters with well-prepared bills and proposals that have been discussed about them with legal experts while she is waiting to enter."

Luke tells us that on the night Jesus was born, shepherds near Bethlehem were watching their sheep. Suddenly, an angel appeared before them -- radiant, shockingly luminescent, and bright. Awash in the otherworldly light, the glory of God pooling around them, the shepherds were terrified. "Do not be afraid," said the angel, "for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord" (2. … [Read more...]

Christiansen Clocks 16:45 5K at Stanford
Competing in the very first race of the Stanford Invitational, Liberty's Jacy Christiansen continued her impressive string of personal-best performances. The junior raced to a 5K time of 16:45.99, marking the Flames' top effort on Friday at Cobb Track and Angell Field.
Christiansen, who placed sixth in Section 5 of the women's 5K, has now established new personal bests in each of her last five races. The career-best clockings have come at five different distances, including the 800 (2:15.52), 1,500 (4:33.84), mile (4:53.40), 3K (9:38.90) and now 5K.
Christiansen sliced more than 14 seconds off of her previous 5K best of 17:00.08 while moving up to No. 2 in program history and No. 4 in Big South Conference annals. Her 16:45.99 effort on Friday was the fastest 5K by a Big South runner since the Lady Flames' Ashley Osborne set the school record of 16:31.00 at the 2010 ECAC meet.
Senior Josh MacDonald was next to race for the Flames, competing not far from his hometown of San Leandro, Calif. Battling some wet weather, MacDonald posted a time of 8:54.07 in his 3,000-meter steeplechase season debut for 10th place in the fastest section of the event.
The second-fastest time of MacDonald's career ranks him No. 10 nationally at the moment and all but guarantees him a berth in the NCAA Division I East Preliminary Round meet for the third year in a row. MacDonald also punched his ticket to the IC4A Championship, where he is the defending champion in the men's steeplechase.
Redshirt junior Caleb Edmonds ran his second fast 5K in eight days, clocking a time of 14:05.37 for 13th place in Section 3. Last Friday, the New York native had clocked 14:02.84 for the 5K at the Raleigh Relays.
Edmonds has now completed the 5K in under 14:10 five times during his career, headlined by his 13:57.09 posting at the 2013 Stanford Invitational.
Redshirt senior Meghan Burggraf will be the lone Liberty athlete in action at the Stanford Invitational on Saturday, competing in the women's 800 around 5:45 p.m. Eastern.

|FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Former Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair made some excellent points in her Washington Post Op-ed piece Monday but overlooked one important point: The U.S. needs to double down on foreclosures. To the former regulator, forgiveness is the answer. Bair said that the banks had showed a "stubborn refusal to deal head-on with past-due and underwater mortgages," and that it was "time for banks and investors to write off uncollectible home equity loans and negotiate new terms with distressed mortgage borrowers that reflect today's lower property values."
True enough. But why should the banks automatically write off any second-mortgage or home equity line of credit that goes delinquent? If word were to get out, any borrower who was actually in a position to comfortably make their first mortgage payment, plus a payment on a second mortgage, would seriously consider a "strategic default." They wouldn't lose their homes under Bair's plan. Bair does place some blame on consumers, saying that leading into the credit crunch, "it became old-fashioned to save up for the down payment on that first home," and that "taking out a mortgage shifted from the most serious financial decision a family would make to a speculative bet on how far home prices would rise." No, ramping up writedowns isn't the only answer. Want to save the banking system and restart the housing market. Why not also step up foreclosures? Foreclosure has become a dirty word, but the regulatory onslaught has forced the largest banks to improve their loan servicing and foreclosure practices, and deals such as the recent $8.5 billion mortgage putback settlement by Bank of America ( BAC), actually spell-out myriad servicing, modification and foreclosure processing improvements. So this is the time for banks to really push the foreclosure process, and maybe regulators and the rest of Washington crew consider process reforms to speed foreclosures through the courts. Banks not only need to beef up their loan-modification efforts -- as Bair suggests -- but also greatly increase their mortgage foreclosure filings. Rather than taking a uniform approach, like Bair's brilliant write-off of any "uncollectable" second mortgage, the banks need to analyze each delinquent loan and make the decision that best services the bottom line. Either way, it enables them to move forward and clear out the volume, thus helping the overall housing as well.

Our Story
When Catch22 founder, Ruchi, began her MBA at University of Chicago's Booth School of Business,
she was looking to meet someone and explore new relationship possibilities. After trying several
ways of meeting people, including at bars, introductions through friends, a few blind dates
she'd rather not remember and a few online dating sites, she knew there had to be a better way
to meet intelligent, educated guys who were also interesting and down-to-earth. She thought living
in a big city like Chicago would make dating easier and provide many opportunities to meet people,
but Ruchi quickly realized how challenging it can be, especially when everyone has such busy and
different schedules. Her vision was to introduce intelligent, successful graduate students and
young professionals through a dependable, go-to site where being busy and ambitious wasn't a catch22.
As a result, Catch22Dating was born with a mission to bring together highly educated and successful
young professionals and graduate students in a trusted, exclusive community.
The Catch22Dating Team
Ruchi Talati
Ruchi recently graduated from the University of Chicago's full-time MBA program and completed her undergraduate business degree at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). Prior to business school, she lived and worked in New York, first in strategy consulting and then in finance. In starting Catch22, she hopes to create an easier, better way to introduce people by bringing together a more focused community. As she began building the site, Ruchi could not think of anyone better than her friend Jen to help realize Catch22's vision of helping people meet the type of people they want to date. In her spare time, Ruchi enjoys inventing new recipes, exploring new cities and practicing yoga.
Jennifer Parkes
Jennifer graduated from the University of Chicago's full-time MBA program and holds a bachelors' degree from the University of Richmond. She worked in finance and economic consulting before business school but always knew she wanted to be part of creating something new. Ruchi was one of the first people she met at the University of Chicago and when Ruchi told her about Catch22, she knew she wanted to be a part of it. She has experienced first-hand how hard it can be to meet the right type of people as a young professional and whole-heartedly believes Catch22 can do a lot of good by bringing people together who may have never otherwise met. Jennifer enjoys running along Chicago's lakefront, cooking and traveling to warmer locations during Chicago winters.

Charli XCX performs on stage at Irving Plaza on November 13, 2013 in New York, New York. Photo: Gaelle Beri
In a world where Adele can sell thirty million albums, and Katy Perry and Taylor Swift dominate the charts, it's tempting to think that women have achieved something approaching equality in popular music.
But not everything is Gagas and Mileys. On radio, female voices are decidedly the minority. Whilst some Australian stations play P!nk on the hour every hour, less established singers struggle to gain a foothold.
Indie music is arguably an even more male dominated domain. Only about one in four acts in January's Hottest 100 were female soloists or female fronted acts.
Bolstered by the huge success of Haim, London Grammar and, of course, Lorde, this was a major improvement on the two- yes, two - women who sang in 2009's Hottest 100 of All Time. A step forward, yes, but roughly on par with the number of females in parliament in Sudan. Or, you know, Australia.
Fortunately, there's no shortage of women waiting in the wings take your ears by storm, whether your tastes are poppier or you're more indie inclined. Many of them are defying this divide – singer songwriters who aren't shy of a big hook are emerging across the globe. So why not pause that copy of I'm Not Dead give some of these songstresses a whirl?
Tove Lo
First cab off the rank is Sweden's Tove Elsa Nilsson, known to her admirers as Tove Lo. With the ever amazing Robyn having just announced a new mini album with Röyksopp, you might think your cup runneth over with sardonic Scandi-pop. But make some time for Tove, a darling of record industry insiders.
Her debut EP Truth Serum showcases the songwriting chops she's previously leant out to artists like Icona Pop. On 'Habits', she sings with peculiar panache about self-medicating with sex, drugs and twinkies after a relationship gone sour.
Charli XCX
Another singer associated with Icona Pop, for whom she wrote the smash 'I Love It', Charli XCX is due to release her second album this year. The follow up to last year's magnificent Nuclear Seasons, the new set will feature the punchy 'SuperLove', which featured recently on TV series Shameless. She's been described as 'Lorde on ecstasy,' a description that neatly captures her effortless Gen Y cool and radiant charm.
VV Brown
In the mad post-Winehouse rush to find British female soul singers, VV Brown's debut Travelling Like the Light was a little lost in the crowd. On her second album, she's playing on her own terms.
If Kate Bush and Janelle Monae formed a mythology book club, they might write a set like Samson and Delilah. If that sounds a tad inaccessible, fear not. Singles like 'Faith' and 'The Apple' pulse with vibrant abandon.
Betty Who
New York based but Sydney born, the artist known to her mum as Jessica Newham was named by TIME as one of '14 Musical Acts to Watch in 2014'.
Trained as a classical cellist but self taught on guitar and piano, Betty's pop career was boosted when a video of a marriage proposal in a Home Depot store choreographed to her song 'Somebody Loves You' went viral. Latest release 'Heartbreak Dream' is an unabashed pop belter that puts Katy Perry on notice.
She's not affiliated with Volkswagen, but this Liverpool lass' rock-tinged tunes should get your motor running regardless. Her debut EP Start a Riot packs a vocal punch honed by singing back up for the likes of Paloma Faith and Cee Lo Brown. An album is expected in the near future.
Apparently not content with Lorde's world domination, our neighbours cross the Tasman are responsible for this sibling duo. Blending male and female vocals in a manner not unlike fellow Kiwis The Naked and Famous, their self-titled debut EP recalls Imogen Heap's side project Frou Frou. A full album of their minimal electro pop tunes is due later in the year, and with Lorde producer Joel Little on board you can expect big things.
Chlöe Howl
"I'm just trying to work out how to be like myself," sings 19 year old Chlöe Howl on 'Rumour'. Judging by her musical efforts to date, the person she's discovering has a candy heart with a defiant streak. Debut single 'No Strings', featured on the Kick Ass 2 Soundtrack, gave us snappy lines like 'No strings, kinda hope I have twins'. Fresh from support slots for Ellie Goulding, she's gearing up for the release of her first album in June.
Jhené Aiko
After a few false starts label-wise and having worked with the likes of Big Sean and Drake, California's Jhené Aiko is poised to release her full length debut Souled Out in May. In the meantime, EP Sail Away attracted guest spots from hip-hop darlings Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino.
Aiko has been described as a 'female Frank Ocean' because of her sparse, sultry blend of hip-hop and electro, but her influences are as complex as her fantastically diverse ethnic heritage. I thought of Sade and Missy Elliot, but you can choose your own adventure.
Ashley Monroe
At the other end of the musical spectrum, if you're tired of Tay Tay's goody goody antics and fancy your country with a side of grit, you could do a whole lot worse than Ashley Monroe.
Don't be fooled by the innocuous title: her recent album Like a Rose isn't for debutantes. Break out single 'Weed Instead of Roses' reveals a woman with some clear priorities.
We might not yet be clear on what exactly the fox says, but we do know that when Foxes sang on Zedd's 'Clarity' a hit was born.
Taking her stage name from a dream her mother described to her, Louisa Allen promises that her debut album Glorious will have a 'dark streak'. That streak is not immediately apparent on the energetic single 'Let's Go For Tonight', which has the serious flash mob potential, but if she's willing to bring the pain I'm happy to hear that too.

FTP is one of those 'special' protocols that requires a protocol, or
application specific proxy or some other mechanism. Why? Because it uses
multiple ports.
Have you tried using 1:1 NAT with/without ProxyARP?

Hmmm, strange that you cannot even connect.

Are you sure you want to open IIS to the outside world?
Please do some trouble-shooting, eg turn on logging etc.

Ellesmere Port owes its existence to a group of Shropshire businessmen whose meetings in the early 1790s, chaired by Lord Edward Clive, resulted in a plan to build a canal connecting the rivers Severn, Mersey and Dee. William Jessop was appointed chief engineer, and fellow engineer Thomas Telford drew up plans for the bridges, aqueducts, tunnels, locks, reservoirs, wharfs and other works. The canal opened on 1 July 1795, and Ellesmere Port was born.

So I'm 25, I have SEVERE anxiety issues, panic attacks, and I was on anti depressants for 3 years. My doctor then decided I was "happy" enough to go off them and he began me on treatment for my ADHD. I am on Adderall XR 20mg a day, and Xanax .25 as needed (I have been on xanax for years). I started the Adderall about a week ago, and completely lost my appetite, which my doc told me would probably happen. I have had a ton of trouble getting to sleep at night (no luck without taking a xanax to help), and it seems like if I have ANY caffeine I get SUPER jittery, anxious, and two days ago I made the mistake of trying an energy drink, which basically gave me severe muscle spasms and shot my heart rate through the roof (yay for Hospital visits... ). I'm about 140 pounds, and I'm not sure if my adderall dosage is too high for my weight or if I'm just not adjusted to it yet. I guess my question is if the side effects (jittery, increased anxiety, insomnia) will decrease over time, or if there is any way to lessen them? Any insight at all would be super helpful! Thanx!

I also have adult ADHD, but am older. My son, 26, has it, too. When he first started his meds, he had no appetite, sweating, dry mouth, and many same symptoms. It will decrease, but I'd probably start with half the dose, as he did, and worked up to 10 mgs. dextroamphetamine. Also, take early in the day. One of the most important things I've noticed is to be consistent with the medication daily, and your body will adjust. Or, you could ask your doctor to try one of several of the non-stimulant medications, such as Strattera. Anti-depressants, and some blood pressure meds. are also used for ADHD, so be sure you're on the right medication(s). As always, it takes trial and error because everybody's body chemistry is different. Sounds like you had many of the anxiety symptoms prior to even taking Adderall. I avoid any extended release, as many do. Just don't like them, as I've found many don't, as well.
I take the Dextrostat, and I have a decent appetite, but I take seroquel at night that puts me right to sleep! Try decaf, as well. Good decaf tastes the same. Good luck!! Hope that helps.
Thanks for the response! I have been taking it somewhat erratically(whenever I wake up, sometimes 8am, sometimes 1pm). Another side effect I noticed is a sort of tense feeling in my left arm only. (I have standing tremors, and muscle spasms) but this feels sorta like the circulation to my arm is being cut off, it doesn't go numb, only feels... tight I guess? Could that be a more serious side effect, or just the result of the caffeine and adderall? I will try taking it at the same time daily and see if there's an improvement, hopefully everything levels out. These meds are so frustrating sometimes!
On a side note; I had my first day off of work and took it yesterday, and I just couldn't relax, I felt as though I had to be up accomplishing things. Any clue if it's alright to avoid taking it on days I know I don't need to focus or go anywhere, or should I take it anyway for consistency?
I take it daily for consistency. Sounds like we could be related, in that, I always feel like I want to be accomplishing something! It feels good, and I've accepted that I'm compulsive about whatever I do. I like things organized. I like the positive feelings of accomplishment. And, no matter whether I'm working or taking a day off, I try to set a schedule and adhere to it. Its important for those of us with ADHD... structure and self-discipline! I believe the tense feeling in your arm is related to the stimulant medication, but you may want to run it by your Dr. I'm only a Psychologist, not a medical Dr. On your day off, try to go out and walk for a couple of miles (start slowly). Extremely important for us to get exercise, both for our bodies and our minds (and spirits)! That would help tremendously with all of your symptoms... physical and mental anxiety, tense, cramping muscles, nervousness, etc. And, it would help with appetite.
So, go out and sweat off that anxiety and make those muscles work! Then, drink lots of water to get rid of toxins. Sounds like you're smart and concerned. Good luck!
If he is 26 and I'm sure your a woman of a respectable age then ask the MD about Vyvanse it is made for adults to last longer and not be addictive like Adderall is. Vyvanse starts out at 20mg and goes up to 70mg. I personally have struggled with ADHD and have tried other medications, but the Vyvanse has truly been a blessing to my life. Let me know how things go!
cetteferge, I agree w/your answer. Very well put...
The one thing everyone needs to consider is that everybody's body chemistry is different. You hit the nail on the head w/that one :))
I would consult the doctor if I were you. I say this because there are cases of people suffering heart attacks using adderall and other stimulant type drugs like ritalyn. It can happen in young people as well as older adults. I take ritalyn, and I'm in my fifties and I had an EKG done prior to starting on it. I think doctors should do more testing for possible hidden heart problems before putting people on these drugs.
It could just be your anxiety levels creeping back up, possibly due to the stimulant, but I would definitely talk to your doctor about the pain in your arm and the other symptoms you're experiencing.
Good luck in getting this figured out and getting the help you need to get the right meds in the right balance that work for you.
I'm definitely going to consult my doc ASAP, heart problems run in the family (I'm lucky like that) and there have been some other odd symptoms as well. My Anxiety is pretty high since I began the adderall(compared to normal), which the doc said would be a side effect (yay for giving someone with severe panic/anxiety issues a stimulant... ). I've been managing the anxiety fairly well, but I would prefer not to drop dead anytime soon. I have had other issues that I thought may be contributing as well (standing tremors, muscle spasms, severe iron deficiency), but they never caused issues in just 1 limb like this... doc appointment soon, hopefully he can help me out! Thanx for the response!
Question posted 16 Jul 2011
Dear Azyrael:
Today is 3 months since you posted the problems that have occurred since your change in medications .I truly hope you are feeling better now and probably back on some kind of SSRI or an SNRI.
You may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms if you were on antidepressants for more than THREE years and quit abruptly. You need to taper off slowly. There is a website that addresses the withdrawal symptoms. Some of the people take over a year to get off serotonin re-uptake drugs. It is paxilprogress.com.Take a look.
I am really appalled at what your doctor did! I feel so sorry for you.I have a long history of panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and depression. I am older now, but the panic and anxiety hit me bad in my 20's like you. As I got older and was properly medicated with SSRIs and Xanax (which I became addicted to) the anxiety subsided, but depression has became more of an issue.
Putting someone with a history of any kind of anxiety on amphetamines is very unusual, if not crazy. Did you want them? Possibly indicate that you needed more motivation to get things done? I just wonder what would make him choose this medication and believe that you have ADD or ADHD.
By the way, going off of ADHD drugs occasionally for a short period of time is OK and very common. Most children are told to take weekend vacations from them. Is Dr. a psychiatrist or a G.P? Hope you got another one.
Let us all know how you are doing because we really do care about the people who post here. I wouldn't wish your symptoms on an enemy. I remember how bad panic,etc can be.
All the Best
OK, it has been only two months since your post. Sorry. Can't figure out how to edit once posted.
Good News! :)
Yes the side effects do decrease. I noticed that you didn't mention the times of day that you take your doses? I'm prescribed the same meds, although my xanax are 1mg, they work better for me when I take my adderall in the morning & the xanax late in the day, early evening. I also eat breakfast before adderall takes effect, force a light lunch, & eat dinner an hr after taking xanax, this allows me to keep my weight on. One thing is for sure, my life is better, much more stable & comfortable since I got use to taking adderall.
I hope this response gives you some insight & helps to ease your concerns

What's new? Wesfarmers portrays itself to be a diversified portfolio of businesses, which it is. It owns Coles, Target, Kmart, Bunnings and other businesses. But the limp retail sector continues to nudge the company's earnings outlook a little off target. Wesfarmers gave a briefing on each of its businesses recently and we were slightly underwhelmed by the overall tenor of the group.
It is a truism of any portfolio that when one part isn't pulling its weight, it can nullify the good work being done elsewhere. Target confessed it had been selling its good-quality apparel too cheaply and that its supply chain needed some urgent changes. This group has about $3.3 billion of capital employed but last year delivered a miserly 8.3 per cent return.
The problem, Dene Rogers, Target's new managing director, says is that the business has been sucked into the unwinnable high-low pricing war among the deep-discount department stores, even though Target's products are generally of superior quality.
With new global chains such as Zara moving into Australia, their response times to fashion and supply have made Target look like a bent wire coathanger. Kmart's Guy Russo wouldn't admit it, but we suspect his terrific turnaround of that business has drawn customers from Target.
Now, even Coles supermarkets are planning to introduce a limited range of apparel, making Target's job just that little bit more difficult.
Coles has unquestionably continued to lift its game but it has a long way to go before it can claim parity with Woolworths for its performance.
Outlook Though we haven't mentioned Wesfarmers' generally excellent resources, industrial and safety, insurance and chemicals businesses, the group's earnings outlook is subdued. The Bunnings business is claiming just 16 per cent of the $42 billion market for home improvement and outdoor living, but within its domain it remains a force.
Price Wesfarmers was just over $40 a share when it bought Coles in 2007. The stock plunged to about $15 in early 2009 but recovered to about $30 by the end of that year. It has traded about that mark since, meaning it has convincingly outperformed the broader market since the acquisition.
Worth buying? Wesfarmers is a high-quality company paying an attractive net dividend yield of 5.6 per cent, so owners of the stock can rest easy. It's hardly in the bargain bin at the current price, so wait for any dips before topping up your trolley.

Medical marijuana ad ban supportive, not punitive, councilman says
Earlier this week, Denver City Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz expressed philosophical support for a medical marijuana outdoor ad ban that would go beyond one targeting the areas near where kids congregate. Councilman Christopher Herndon confirms that he'll offer just such a proposal and tells us why he thinks it's needed.
"I have to give credit to Councilwoman Ortega," says Herndon -- a reference to Debbie Ortega, who's proposed banning advertising within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, daycares and recreation centers. "She has brought this to my light and my attention -- and I did some more research about extending her proposal. I think the 1,000 feet limit is a great start, but there are children beyond that."
Herndon identifies himself as "a fan of the industry. But I think for this industry to continue to be successful, there are some things they don't need -- and every councilperson I've spoken to has a spinner story."
Indeed, sign spinners outside dispensaries seem to have fueled the various proposals -- and Herndon feels their use "isn't wise for the industry." As such, he asked himself, "How can we tailor this so it still gives businesses the opportunity to be successful, but at the same time removing things that I don't think helps them at all."

There's no consensus on an outdoor-ad ban among MMJ industry types. For instance, the Medical Marijuana Industry Group favors such a prohibition, while the Cannabis Business Alliance's Shawn Coleman sees anything beyond Ortega's proposal as a step too far. Herndon is also wary of a measure targeting ads of all kinds. "In Vermont, they have no advertising at all," he allows. "But I think businesses need to have the opportunity to advertise in some capacity. So I'm looking for a happy medium -- one that allows them to advertise where it's not in the face of people who don't need it, because the percentage of people who need it is so small, and where there's not a sign spinner on every corner."
At this point, Herndon is still roughing out the specifics of his ordinance in advance of Monday's 5:30 p.m. council meeting, which has Ortega's proposal on the agenda. But he believes "you need to have the name of your business on the business, and people should still be able to advertise in newspapers and on TV, radio, the Internet. I'm not one to blanket that entirely. We want this to be a win-win for everybody.
"I don't want to eliminate any businesses," he goes on. "I want to further legitimize the industry. And to do that, I think it's important for people to understand that this is for medical purposes -- and when you see the signage or the spinners, it gives the impression that it's more than medical."
If, during the November election, Colorado voters approve Amendment 64, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act, or other proposed marijuana-legalization initiatives that have not yet earned their way onto the ballot, this particular argument will take on a very different character. Still, Herndon sees no reason for the council to wait. "We shouldn't dictate policy on what could happen," he says. "If Amendment 64 passes, we'll address it as need be."
His goal is to push his ordinance "concurrently with Councilwoman Ortega's bill, and then let the council members decide. So some dialogue still needs to occur."
In the meantime, he acknowledges that "some people think this is a punitive measure. It's not. We're supporters. We just need to make sure we're doing things responsibly."

TOP STORY >>Public meeting set for Friday
Leader staff writer
All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public meeting August 17 to assess Jacksonvilles interest in operating open-enrollment public charter schools in the community.
The charter school concept will also be explained during the 6 p.m. meeting at Jacksonville City Hall.
The publics thoughts are sought on the matter either in person or in writing to Dr. Caroline Proctor, the executive director of Arkansas Charter School Resource Center at the University of Arkansas, Graduate Education 201, Fayetteville, Ark., 72701.
Community members are also asked to respond by email to the community-needs assessment located at www.ARreform.org, using passcode 1100 for central Arkansas.
The needs assessment will establish local support, interest and needs for the area.
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce members are supporting the petition to the Arkansas State Board of Education to open charter schools in town due to recent problems with the Pulaski County Special School District.
The charter school would be operated in connection with the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Science and Arts (ASMSA) in Hot Springs or a stand-alone charter school focused on math, science, economics and the arts, or a combination of both.
Chamber member Mike Wilson spearheaded the proposal that he says has the promise of helping our kids.
A proposed location of the charter school is the old Main Street Furniture location across from First Arkansas Bank and Trust, a location adjacent to the new Nixon Library site.
Public charter schools are public schools of choice that operate with freedom from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools.
According to the Arkansas Department of Education Web site, the freedoms given a charter school allow more flexibility to implement creative and innovative programs and policies but are held more accountable for student success.
Arkansas currently has 17 public charter schools operating under contracts detailing the schools mission, program, goals, students served, methods of assessment and ways to measure success.
An open-enrollment school is a public charter school run by a governmental entity, an institution of higher learning or a tax-exempt non-sectarian organization. They can also draw students from across district boundaries.
The groups that commonly operate public charter schools include parents, teachers and community leaders, public schools and private entities.
These people want your opinions.

What does being committed to your marriage really mean? UCLA psychologists answer this question in a new study based on their analysis of 172 married couples over the first 11 years of marriage.

"One thing they can mean is, 'I really like this relationship and want it to continue.' However, commitment is more than just that."

Indiana U Boys Soccer Camps … much more than just training …
College Opportunities for Student Athletes magazine, since 1991, written with several hundred college coaches, specifically to help subscribers get to college and on the team … often with full scholarships.
Summer camps are, in our opinion, the best way to get to know the college coach you may some day play for. Coaches use camps to train and evaluate future members of their teams. Summer camps provide an ideal environment for both student athlete and coach to thoroughly prepare and improve the quality of the recruiting decision.
For these important reasons we publish our book, The Best Soccer Camps and dedicate the Spring Edition of our magazine, College Opportunities for Student Athletes to detailed reviews of only 100 summer camp operators, nationwide.
Indiana U Logo
Seven Times NCAA MEN's SOCCER NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Indiana U Boys Soccer Camps … much more than just training …
The Indiana Soccer Camp can help you in any stage of your soccer development … as long as you are willing to work hard to make your dream come true!
The 2007 Indiana Soccer Camp is designed for boys 11 – 18 years of age. The camp is directed by Mike Freitag, Head Coach of the men's 2004 NCAA Champions – Indiana University Hoosiers.
Mike Freitag is only the second head coach in the storied history of Indiana University Men's Soccer. A long time assistant to the legendary Jerry Yeagley, Freitag has been invaluable to the success of the IU Soccer Program.
Coach Freitag has been a key administrator and instructor with the Indiana Soccer Camp for more than 20 years.
In Coach Freitag's words, "The Indiana Soccer Camp can help you in any stage of your soccer development – as long as you are willing to work hard to make your dream come true! Over the years, many past campers have been recruited and earned scholarships at Indiana University and other top universities across the country. We want you to think seriously about your goals in soccer."
Information and registration: www.INsoccercamp.com
Summer Camps: Much More Than Training
Every camp here has been selected in our Best Soccer Camps book. The current edition of our Best Soccer Camps book contains only 100 selected camps from the more than 500 summer soccer camps.
Is this approach working? When have you seen so many camp ads and articles, anywhere, ever? Think about this. We talk to more serious soccer families and more truly dedicated college coaches, in one year, than anyone. And we help readers find the good camps that can affect their college futures, and their lives.
Now, consider what serious players do for top camps. Competitive players make the camp a success, elevate the level of play, and challenge other players. They stimulate the coaching staff. Everyone learns more and has more fun. And sometimes, a player catches the eye of a coach because, "Those campers were working so hard they looked like college players." … the rest … perhaps, is history!
Readers refer to our Student Athlete magazine as the "Consumer Reports" of College-Bound sports. We are proud to have earned your respect. When we compile our Special Campers Issues we invite only camps recommended in our Best Camps book to advertise. We've done our homework. All of these camps are good!
As parents of serious student athletes, we know how expensive, yet important, good camp selection is. Add the camp's cost, airfare, new clothes, new equipment, spending money, telephone, ground transportation and family gifts … a residential camp's cost can total $1000!
What are the alternatives, once you've learned how to how play, for getting noticed by the college coaches?
The three most important things to do, to increase your chances of playing sports in college are:
1. Participate in the ODP
2. Win state cup with your club team
3. Attend camp at the college where you hope to play
Camp selection is the only event YOU can control. By the end of the camp, both you and the coach will know if his college is in your future. If the news is not good, ask him to recommend colleges where you can play, and to use him as a reference.

Hi, here's another catholic question, coming from a catholic who is struggling with some beliefs. I am wondering about the official catholic teachings on death, afterlife, heaven, purgatory, etc.
here are my questions:
-what is the teaching on heaven? will we be with our families? will we be able to recognize one another?
When you die, you stand before God for your Particular Judgment and make an accounting of your life to Him. You will see all of your actions and inactions from His perfect perspective, so you will not disagree with His Judgment. He is Infinitely Merciful and Perfectly Just. You will go to Heaven only if you die in a state of grace (i.e. you do not have any unconfessed mortal sins on your soul.) You may make a detour to Purgatory first, though, for the expiation you owe God for your confessed mortal sins and your unconfessed venial ones. But, if in Purgatory you will eventually get out and obtain Heaven after your sentence is finished. You will only see your family members in Heaven if they also made it there. Yes, you will be able to recognize everyone. No, you will not have your body back until the end of time and the General Judgment takes place after Jesus' return.
-what about purgatory? does the church still recommend and encourage prayers and monetary gifts for the dead in purgatory?
Yes, we must offer Masses, prayers and sacrifices for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, because it helps to mitigate their time spent there and it speeds their eventual release into Heaven. One of the six Holy Days of Obligation (All Souls Day - Nov. 2nd) exists specifically for this purpose.
-does the church believe that the dead can pray for us? or interceed for us?
Only the angels and souls in Heaven with God can pray for us. The souls in Heaven are the Saints, and not all Saints are canonized. So, for example, if you think Grandma might have made it to Heaven, you can ask for her to pray for you and ask her intercession. Although, it might be better for you to pray for her, in case she's still in Purgatory, which I'm sure she'd appreciate!
-I know limbo is gone, thank goodness, but what is the teaching on those who are unbaptized?
Limbo is not "gone." It has never been dogmatically decreed, but it has always been taught as a matter of doctrine. The Pope's recent statement merely "softened" the position a bit with the idea that we can "hope" that perhaps unbaptized babies go to Heaven instead of Limbo, but no Pope or theologian in the history of the Church has ever taught this.
However, Limbo should not be viewed in a negative light. Limbo is a place of perfect natural happiness, with the exception that the souls there do not enjoy the Beatific Vision (see the face of God). This punishment is due to the punishment God handed down to all of us for Adam and Eve's Original Sin of disobedience.
The souls of the unbaptized innocent (babies, and children BEFORE the age of reason) go to Limbo.
However, the souls of unbaptized adults and children beyond the age of reason go to Hell. This is due to the fact that they have not had the stain of Original Sin removed by the Sacrament of Baptism.
-do catholics still HAVE to be buried in catholic cemetaries? I know that cremation is now permissible, we have been to a few masses, and then they were buried in catholic cemetaries.
Yes. And truly cremation is not licit, even though it's use is being abused by liberal Catholics. It is a sin to do anything to destroy the Temple Of the Holy Ghost, i.e. your body. Cremation is only licit when there is a profound societal reason, such as an epidemic like the Black Plague.
thanks! I have looked through the catechism, but I didn't know if there have been any encyclicals or anything that also addressed these issues.
thanks! But do you have references whether it is the catechism or encyclicals or something? The person I am discussing this with will need some definite references, post-vatican II if possible. I thought there was an encyclical about this subject by John Paul II, but I can't find it now that I am looking. Do you know about that?

|Many Catholics grew up thinking limbo -- the place where babies who have died without baptism spend eternity in a state of "natural happiness" but not in the presence of God -- was part of Catholic tradition.
Instead, it was a hypothesis -- a theory held out as a possible way to balance the Christian belief in the necessity of baptism with belief in God's mercy.

|A conviction that babies who died without baptism go to heaven was not something promoted only by people who want to believe that God saves everyone no matter what they do.
Pope John Paul II believed it. And so does Pope Benedict.
In the 1985 book-length interview, "The Ratzinger Report," the future Pope Benedict said, "Limbo was never a defined truth of faith. Personally -- and here I am speaking more as a theologian and not as prefect of the congregation -- I would abandon it, since it was only a theological hypothesis.

|1258 The Church has always held the firm conviction that those who suffer death for the sake of the faith without having received Baptism are baptized by their death for and with Christ. This Baptism of blood, like the desire for Baptism, brings about the fruits of Baptism without being a sacrament.
1259 For catechumens who die before their Baptism, their explicit desire to receive it, together with repentance for their sins, and charity, assures them the salvation that they were not able to receive through the sacrament.
1260 "Since Christ died for all, and since all men are in fact called to one and the same destiny, which is divine, we must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partakers, in a way known to God, of the Paschal mystery."63 Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. It may be supposed that such persons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity.
1261 As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,"64 allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.
|2301 Autopsies can be morally permitted for legal inquests or scientific research. The free gift of organs after death is legitimate and can be meritorious.
The Church permits cremation, provided that it does not demonstrate a denial of faith in the resurrection of the body.93
: Gah. All this misinformation really sets my teeth on edge.
You are wrong, wrong, WRONG.
I think StacyL is referring to some of the traditionalist catholic teachings which do differ from the current church teachings, I appreciate her posting, but I am trying to find out the current church positions/teachings. I think many of the elderly are confused as to what these teachings are and when someone dies unsure what they are to do.
Oh, and I forgot to ask StacyL where she got the information about unbaptized adults and children of reason going to hell? Is that actually a catholic document written down somewhere? I haven't seen it put that way, is that from the baltimore catechism? We've studied that before
|The Baltimore Catechism is a timeless classic. The only changes that have been made in the Church, since it was written, are those in the area of discipline. No changes have been made in the area of doctrine and morality. The same Faith that was believed when the Baltimore Catechism was written, is the same Faith that is believed today.
This question and answer format catechism will be useful to anyone who wants to better know the Faith of the Catholic Church.
|Article 12
III. The Final Purification, or Purgatory
All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.
The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned.606 The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire:607
As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire. He who is truth says that whoever utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come. From this sentence we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come.608
This teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already mentioned in Sacred Scripture: "Therefore [Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin."609 From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God.610 The Church also commends almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead:
Let us help and commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by their father's sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them.611
you cannot deny the absolutely defined Dogma of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus - "Outside Of The Church, None Are Saved."
|169 Salvation comes from God alone; but because we receive the life of faith through the Church, she is our mother: "We believe the Church as the mother of our new birth, and not in the Church as if she were the author of our salvation."55 Because she is our mother, she is also our teacher in the faith.
When you said "monetary gifts for the dead', do you mean the selling of indulgences? This was never something the Church did. It was something that some corrupt people within the Church were wrongly doing.
|1032 This teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already mentioned in Sacred Scripture: "Therefore [Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin."609 From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God.610 The Church also commends almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead
We Trads may still abstain from meat on Fridays, and you guys only do that during Lent, but all the Dogmas still hold - even after Vatican II - LOL.
The "buying of Masses" and selling of indulgences IS still in practice in the Church today - not, mind you, that I agree with it. We don't allow it at our parish. People can request a "Mass memorial" for someone who has died, and we don't require payment. If they choose to offer a stipend, the amount is up to them.
|The Magisterium of the Church has defended and illustrated this doctrine in various documents.(40) Unfortunately, the practice of indulgences has at times been improperly used either through "untimely and superfluous indulgences" by which the power of the keys was humiliated and penitential satisfaction weakened,(41) or through the collection of "illicit profits" by which indulgences were blasphemously defamed.(42) But the Church, in deploring and correcting these improper uses "teaches and establishes that the use of indulgences must be preserved because it is supremely salutary for the Christian people and authoritatively approved by the sacred councils; and it condemns with anathema those who maintain the uselessness of indulgences or deny the power of the Church to grant them."(43
I know what indulgences are "supposed" to be.
However, the buying and selling of indulgences - wrong though it is - still takes place in churches today. People do believe that they can "buy" a Mass - and thus, they believe that they are purchasing, in essence, an "indulgence" for the deceased person being remembered at that Mass.
I hear it all the time.

At Oregon, Patrick Chung was often labeled an in-the-box safety with little versatility. With that in mind, it came as somewhat of a surprise when the New England Patriots selected Chung in the second round of the NFL draft.
The Patriots pride themselves on having versatility from top to bottom. Linebackers may be asked to play safety and even wide receivers line up at cornerback.
While the pre-draft talk suggested Chung won't be the right fit for the complex New England defense, the soon-to-be rookie bristles at the idea that he can't play multiple positions.
"That's what some people say, but you have to be versatile to play at the next level and I believe I can do it all," Chung said. "All the coaches up there are going to maximize my ability, so I'm just ready to go."
At 6-0 and 210 pounds, Chung compares favorably to Rodney Harrison, who is expected to announce his retirement in June. Harrison earned a reputation as one of the hardest hitters in the NFL -- the kind of player who changes the outlook of a game with one big play.
"He is very physical. I love that in a guy," Chung said of Harrison. "He's very intense, passionate about the game. He's a leader. He makes plays. I mean, what more can you ask for?"
What the Patriots want is someone who can make an immediate impact on defense and add some much-needed punch to what has suddenly become a rather youthful, speedy secondary. Chung will join James Sanders and Brandon Meriweather in what should be an intense battle this summer to determine who plays where on defense.
The versatility factor might not be an issue since Chung played the rover position in college, which, he says, required him to "do everything."
"You're like a strong safety, free safety, corner, linebacker, you blitz, cover slot, cover tight ends, cover a deep pass, cover deep middle, curl, slide," he said. "Rover is just pretty much everything. It's the most versatile position."
Chung says he has his "own style," though he mentioned Meriweather as a possible comparison just to give fans an idea of what to expect in 2009.
"If I had to choose -- maybe Bob Sanders," Chung said. "At safety, it's all about versatility. That will get you a long way."

On Friday, I managed floor debate for consideration of S. 3261, legislation to allow the U.S. Forest Service to expedite contracts for new tanker aircraft to fight forest fires. Consideration of the bill came in response to the U.S. Forest Service's request to modernize its aging fleet of tanker planes used to battle wildfires. On June 3, 2012, a firefighting tanker crashed in Utah, killing two pilots. Following a separate tanker's emergency landing in Nevada that same day, the Forest Service had only 11 planes for firefighting operations, leaving only nine in operation. S. 3261 would allow the Forest Service to avoid a 30-day waiting period required by current law before entering into contracts for seven modern tankers to replace the equipment. The measure has now passed both chambers and is scheduled to be signed into law by President Obama.
The House Agriculture Committee, on which I serve as the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy & Forestry, has jurisdiction over the Forest Service.

Gas prices are rising, and Republicans are urging voters to take it out on President Obama.
In today's Republican radio address, Sen. Lisa Murkoswki, R-Alaska, attributed higher prices to the administration's environmental efforts and a slow permitting process that amounts to a "de facto moratorium" on domestic oil drilling.
"Instead of canceling leases and refusing to issue permits, we need to put people back to work," Murkowski said.
The Alaska senator said prices have been pushed up by "international events" -- presumably a reference to the Middle East unrest -- "but our own short-sightedness and restrictions have also played a critical role."
Gasoline prices have risen by 40 cents over the past month, Murkowski said, and "more than doubled since January of 2009" -- which just happens to be the month Obama took office.
In his news conference Friday, Obama said domestic oil production hit its highest level since 2003, and that imports accounted for less than half of consumption.
"So," the president said, "any notion that my administration has shut down oil production might make for a good political sound bite, but it doesn't match up with reality."
The real solution to an over-dependence on foreign oil, Obama said, is developing alternative energy sources, as he touted his program.
This is Lisa Murkowski, Senator for Alaska and lead Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Our hearts and prayers are with the people of Japan in the wake of Friday's terrible earthquake and tsunami. In Alaska the memories of the devastating 1964 quake are still with us. We know we're just beginning to comprehend the magnitude of this quake and its devastation. We share and support the president's commitment to bring America's resources to bear to help Japan recover -- and we commend the actions that he has taken so far.
This tragedy-- as well as the upheaval in the Middle East and North Africa -- serve as stark reminders of how intertwined our world economy is; how world events beyond our control can affect all of us. It makes it all the more important that we control those things we can.
I want to speak with you today about one of the threats that we're experiencing personally, rising energy prices. And, I want to share some of the steps that Republicans are ready to take right now -- steps that will protect America from international conflicts, create thousands of new jobs, reduce our budget deficit, and help bring energy prices back down to Earth.
Nationwide, gasoline prices have risen by 40 cents over the past month, and have more than doubled since January of 2009. A gallon of gas is heading north of four dollars. That's not just pain at the pump; it's crippling for anyone with bills to pay, groceries to buy, or a long commute.
When gasoline prices go up, families and businesses are stretched thin. Budgets are harder to balance and jobs are destroyed. If energy prices keep climbing, our nation could slip back into recession -- just as we're finally emerging from the last one.
The worst part of this emerging crisis is that our own government deserves much of the blame. International events have pushed prices higher, but our own short-sightedness and restrictions have also played a critical role.
Some in Washington believe higher oil and gas prices, driven even higher by proposed new taxes, are needed to make Americans behave the way they think they should. Higher energy prices are their explicit goal. They don't realize or don't care about the damage to the economy, the pain to a mom as she fills her minivan, or a farmer as he tries to bring in a harvest.
America now imports 11 million barrels of oil every day. Last year alone, we spent more than $330 billion on foreign oil, much of it in countries that are not our friends.
We don't import oil because our domestic reserves are exhausted. Not even close. Since 1919, people have claimed that America is 'running out of oil.' It might surprise you that we're still the world's third-largest oil producer, and seem to find more whenever we actually look.
Republicans know that it's past time to produce more of America's oil. My home state of Alaska alone has estimated resources in excess of 65 years' worth of Persian Gulf imports.
Republicans would end the de facto moratorium on new development in the Gulf of Mexico and parts of the Rocky Mountain West. Instead of canceling leases and refusing to issue permits, we need to put people back to work.
It's also time to shelve the bad ideas. Democrats have repeatedly sought to increase taxes and fees while slowing the permitting process. That won't solve any problems, but it will mean less production, more imports, and higher prices. To boost production, we need to cut red tape and streamline regulations.
Both supply and demand affect oil prices, and that's why Republicans support both new production and alternatives to reduce consumption. But we're also thinking about what comes next, and we're committed to making progress on cleaner energy -- that's just not our only goal. We also want energy to be affordable, abundant, diverse, and domestic.
For far too long, our nation has lacked a coherent energy policy. For too many decades, opponents have argued against vital long-term policies because they won't produce instant gratification. We've ignored the tremendous benefits of American oil production -- jobs, money, and security -- and now we're facing the consequences.
Republicans believe that Americans deserve better, and we believe the federal government can do better. We're ready to make meaningful progress on energy, and we're hopeful that our Democratic colleagues will join us.
