Nana, mama, maman, maji, madre, okaason or just plain mom. Whichever way you say it, it's her day — Mother's Day.
The origins of the spring celebration are credited mostly to three women, according to the National Women's History Project.
In 1872, Boston poet, pacifist and women's suffragist Julia Ward Howe established a special day for mothers — and for peace — not long after the bloody Franco-Prussian War.
Earlier, in 1858, Anna Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker, organized "Mother's Work Days" to improve the sanitation and avert deaths from disease-bearing insects and seepage of polluted water. Jarvis died in 1905, on the second Sunday in May, and her daughter, also named Anna, decided to memorialize her mother's lifelong activism and began a campaign to set aside a special day.
One thing is known for sure; the first Mother's Day was celebrated on May 9, 1914, after President Woodrow Wilson and Congress proclaimed the day as a public thank-you to all mothers.
Since then, Mom's role has changed. Few women worked outside the home in 1914 and none could vote. Today, working moms are in the majority and not only can mom vote, she has become a coveted political audience.
A recent survey has found mothers are overworked, underpaid and yet are the glue that holds many households together. As to their work, whether it occurs outside the home or at home, mothers would command a hefty salary if they were paid, according to a 2013 survey of 6,000 mothers conducted by Salary.com.
The survey took into consideration various tasks that moms do such as laundry and cooking (housekeepers earn an average $10.10 per hour), overall management (a facilities manager earns an average $31.59 per hour) and even psychology (psychologists earn an average $38.03 per hour).
Using these pay levels as guides, the survey found that stay-at-home moms should earn $113,586 a year — a 40-hours-per-week base salary totaling $37,549, plus 54 hours of weekly overtime totaling $76,037. Women with jobs outside the home would earn overtime for what they do when they get home.
Families, too, have changed. In 2014, they don't always reflect the dad and mom and two children formula once so prevalent. There are blended families or households overseen by single or gay parents. And many grandparents are raising second families.
Changes to families have resulted in mothers who come in all kinds of packages, said Karen Tongson, associate professor of English and gender studies at USC.
"The idea of motherhood no longer is attached to specific persons or bodies," said Tongson, who grew up with two parents but also maintained a close relationship to her grandmother, and still does.
"That role can and has been adopted by many who aren't women," she said. "Maybe we should be talking about the role of nurturer."
Gender roles remain merely roles, she said. "Mother" can mean an older sibling, aunt or uncle.
"A nurturer is someone who feeds, holds and comforts," Tongson said. "And it can take a wide range of competencies and skill sets."
Observing Mother's Day is a custom Americans have grown used to and simply should be a day when people who want to can celebrate someone in their lives who has filled that place for them, she said.
Stacy Hinkel's resume includes experience as a sanitation engineer, soother, chef, housekeeper, disciplinarian, etiquette enforcer and nurse — and that just covers one aspect of how she spends her time.
She also is an exercise enthusiast, business owner and wife. But the one overall driving aspect of her life is her role as mother to two young children.
Hinkel owns Fit4Mom in Long Beach, which offers fitness programs for moms, as well as facilitates the Long Beach Stroller Strides and Plum Moms Club.
"I try to help other moms connect and provide outlets for them to go to and enjoy themselves," Hinkel said. "I also have stroller classes, running and walking programs and body back classes because today's moms need somewhere to go where they can be a mom and be themselves, too."
One hundred years ago, electronic gizmos and gadgets didn't compete for the hours wedged into each day. In 2014, moms have to figure out how much television, computer, cellphone, social media and extracurricular activity time is appropriate.
"It's always been difficult being a mom, but today it is very hard. We live in an age of Pinterest and Facebook, where some people take on the persona of being perfect, while most of us are just harried," Hinkel said.
Shared time together is very important to Hinkel. She remembers her first Mother's Day right after her now 3-year-old daughter was born.
"I thought it was a much more important day than my birthday, but now with two children, I celebrate all the little moments together," Hinkel said. "I look at them and the people they're becoming, and that's reward enough."
Janeen Braham has accepted both gender roles in her household. She is Mom and Dad, juggling both responsibilities for years. She is a single mother to her 9-year-old son and 7-year-old twins, another son and a daughter.
"If I had to write a resume for myself, I think I would sum it up as CEO of everything," she said. "I'm a life coordinator. Teacher. Often I'm their nurse. I work in a very demanding profession and never seem to have enough time, but my three children are my greatest accomplishment because they are turning into wonderful people."
The Chatsworth mom does have help and considers it a blessing to have her mother living with the family. She has seen changes in the role of "mother" during her lifetime.
"The role has just gotten bigger," she said. "It involves more than it did, at least for me, because I am a divorced, single mom. But also I think mothers today have career demands. There still is only 24 hours in a day. That hasn't changed, but how we allot our time has.
"I work in pharmaceutical sales and it's hard to balance my life," she said. "In many households, the family unit has been fractured and that adds a different dimension to what it means to be a mother. Familial roles are changed."
But Braham manages. She helps coach soccer and basketball with her children while still fulfilling the roles of nurturer and caretaker.
"When it comes down to it, it starts with mommy," she said. "Society — and mothers, for that matter — still hold expectations about what it means to be a mother. But Mom is still a woman and she needs to remember she was a person before the children came and will be a person after they grow up and leave."
Braham said she isn't expecting breakfast in bed or dinner out.
"My son the other day asked why we didn't play as many games as we used to," she said. "So that's what I want to do for Mother's Day — spend a relaxing fun day with the kids and playing games."

- How to Read a Study Record
- Individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders have a high prevalence of cannabis use. Understanding some of the environmental factors that maintain cannabis use, such as socially triggered cravings, is a critical step in improving treatment for cannabis dependence. In recent years, virtual reality has been studied to determine whether it can be used to induce craving by using life-like cue settings. Researchers are interested in using virtual reality systems to study cannabis cravings in individuals with schizophrenia.
- To determine if virtual reality cues will elicit cannabis craving in persons with schizophrenia who have a history of cannabis use.
- Individuals between 18 and 50 years of age who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders, are on a stable antipsychotic medication, and who have a lifetime history of at least 50 cannabis uses and average cannabis use of once per month.
- This study involves an initial screening visit, a study visit, and a followup visit.
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical examination, and will complete questionnaires about their history of marijuana and other drug use. Participants will also learn how to use the virtual reality equipment at this visit.
- During the study visit, participants will respond to marijuana cues using the virtual reality system while researchers monitor their heart rate, blood pressure, and sweat levels.
- At the followup visit, participants will complete questionnaires about their mood and any cravings for marijuana.

Objective: The use of cannabis is prevalent in people with schizophrenia, and has been linked both to onset of illness and worsening of symptoms. Craving in persons with schizophrenia who use cannabis has not been widely studied. The occurrence of craving may lead to relapse in substance use disorders. Therefore, craving paradigms in people with schizophrenia need to be optimized in order to test new treatments on craving measures in this population. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and effects of virtual reality cues on craving intensity for cannabis in patients with schizophrenia
Study population: We will enroll 25 persons with a DSM IV diagnosis of schizophrenia who have a lifetime history of at least 50 lifetime uses of cannabis and cannabis use an average of at least once per month (or, if inpatients, average use of once per month prior to hospitalization) with a goal of 16 completers.
Design: This study uses a comparison-controlled, within-subject design. All subjects will undergo a baseline assessment and acclimation period and then participate in an experimental condition in which four cues will be presented in separate rooms in the VR program. These include two cannabis cues and two neutral cues in four different rooms. A follow up session for craving and symptom assessments will occur one week after the experimental session.
Outcome Measures:
At the end of each of the four cues, the Cannabis Craving Scale (CCVAS), Cannabis Attention scale (CAS), the Marijuana Craving Questionnaire-Short Form (MCQ-SF), and a visual analog cigarette craving item will be administered to measure craving during the virtual reality session. The CCVAS and CAS will be projected into the VR environment and participants will respond via hand controller. The MCQ-SF will also be administered, as well as the Mood form , to assess mood, at baseline as well as at the end of each of the 4 cues. Before and after the experimental session participants will also be rated on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Schedule for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), side effects, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The Immersion Questionnaire and Imagery Realism Presence Questionnaire (PQ) will be given at the conclusion of the experimental session. Before and after the session, as well as during the experiment participants will be monitored for physiological reactivity (heart rate, blood pressure, and skin conductance response) to cues of cannabis use as well as neutral cues measured.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 55 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- 18-55 year old males and females
- Lifetime history of at least 50 cannabis uses and average cannabis use of once per month (or average use of once per month prior to hospitalization, if inpatient)
- Current DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
- Stable antipsychotic regimen (4 weeks on antipsychotic regimen and 30 days at current dose)
- Medically healthy as determined by screening criteria
- Agrees to wear a head mounted display (HMD) for a period of time generally not exceeding 45 minutes
- DSM-IV diagnosis of active alcohol or substance abuse (besides cannabis or nicotine) in the past 1 month or dependence within the past 6 months
- Current use of any medication that would interfere with the protocol in the opinion of MAI (dronabinol, varenicline, bupropion, etc)
- History of head injury, seizures, stroke, or severe motion sickness
- Positive urine toxicology screen for agents besides cannabis for substances other than cannabis or those used for therapeutic purposes: Participants who have an initial positive urine toxicology screen for substances other than those used for therapeutic purposes or cannabis will have the opportunity to return within two weeks for a second toxicology screen. If at that time the results are again positive, the participant will be excluded.

Ratings for Dr. Gail F. Mattson-Gates
Arrogant and Horrifyingly Apathetic When I visited my MD, I immediately received my referral for surgery consultation. He proclaimed within the first thirty seconds of the appointment, "it is medically necessary that you get this procedure done. As soon as possible too. Here is your referral and you should have a fast, worry-free consultation. You are beyond qualified at 4"10, 100 pounds, and carrying 30DDDs on your poor little shoulders". I booked an appointment with Dr. Gail Mattson-Gates in Kaiser Medical Center, in Irvine for 10/27/14 at 1:15 PM. I live in Menifee so it was a very long drive for me but I hand-picked her because she seemed qualified. Her being board-certified and a Yale graduate, I was put at ease. (Or so I thought). After driving for about 2 hours and getting there right on time, I was forced to wait for 3 hours more. When she eventually decided to see me, her attitude was aloof and arrogant. She argued my procedure wasn't "medically necessary" and that I was "lying about [my] severe back pain for selfish and aesthetic reasons". I then informed her I attended physical therapy for a year for my back pain and that I had physical proof. She then conceitedly asked, "how could you possibly know it was your breasts causing you the pain?" Dr. Mattson-Gates said she would have to take several pounds off each breast. I find this unjust and prejudice towards my size because I am a naturally small person and several pounds would be both of my breasts combined. To scale, however, my breasts are very large and pain-inducing for my body. She said it herself, "you should be between an A and a B cup. Your body type is very rare and inefficient". I reminded her that mine were large to scale and she scoffed, "well if you would grow a few more inches to an average size, I would help you". I am an adult and therefore I cannot grow anymore. Secondly, I do not deserve to be condescended like that. This woman was very unsympathetic towards my condition and said, "if you still want the procedure done on the side, here's my card. But it says here, you're a light smoker. What does that mean?" Taken aback from what she just asked me, I let her know it was months since I had my last cigarette and I didn't plan on smoking ever again. She then scoffed, "even if you do qualify for full coverage, I want you to know I wouldn't even THINK of operating on a smoker. Furthermore, you didn't officially quit smoking because it hasn't been a full year yet". At this point, I was fighting so hard to hold back tears. I through the trouble to get my referral, I waited for an opening for an appointment, I drove all the way from Menifee to Irvine to see her, she made me wait three hours passed my appointment, and she treated me so badly. Honestly, given my condition, if Kaiser Permanente really refuses not to cover my much needed surgery as she so outrageously claims, I really don't understand what I'm paying my insurance for. She has and continues to contribute to Kaiser's bad name they are so desperately trying to redeem.
Dr. Mattson-Gates is the very best! She is kind and considerate and an excellent plastic surgeon! She did both breasts after cancer and they look great!!!! I was even asked who did them by a top plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and he was very impressed!
She is amazing....warm, intelligent and very skilled!

Matzek wins duel as Rockies blank D-backs
Lefty throws seven scoreless innings; McBride, Blackmon homer
PHOENIX -- The Rockies recorded three hits during the game against the D-backs on Saturday night. Matt McBride provided the only one they needed.
Thanks to a gem from starter Tyler Matzek and solid relief work, the Rockies came out on the winning side of a pitchers' duel at Chase Field, taking the second game of their series with the D-backs, 2-0.
"It's good to see us win a tight one," manager Walt Weiss said.
The Rockies got the first of their two runs on a home run by McBride, who crushed a 74-mph curveball from D-backs starter Vidal Nuno in the second inning .
Matzek (4-9) struggled with his command early, walking two of the first four batters he faced. But the rookie worked out of the jam and settled into a groove.
The 23-year-old left-hander matched a career high in innings pitched (seven) and a career low in hits allowed (three) during a start.
Saturday's start was the second seven-inning outing in a row for Matzek, who pitched seven innings and surrendered only two runs against the Giants on Monday
"He's throwing the ball really well," Weiss said. "Close to dominant the last couple times out. It's good to see."
But Nuno had his own stellar performance on the mound.
The D-backs starter retired the next 20 batters after surrendering the home run to McBride, striking out seven and keeping the Rockies off balance through the eighth inning while allowing only two hits.
"He was, for the most part, a pretty classic left-hander," Weiss said. "When you got the hitters thinking soft, you pop a fastball on the inner half, and [he was] very effective doing it."
Matzek and Nuno battled it out for seven innings, with Matzek exiting the game after the seventh. But while Nuno pitched longer, Matzek came away with the victory.
"When you know the other guy's doing good, you try to stay more focused," Matzek said. "You definitely can't get distracted. Seeing him do what he was doing out there definitely helps me to remind me what I needed to do to get the win."
With the Rockies still leading by one, the D-backs mounted one major attempt at a second straight comeback win.
Weiss turned the game over to his bullpen in the bottom of the eighth. After Brooks Brown recorded an out, Weiss brought in Christian Friedrich, who gave up a single to Ender Inciarte.
After a wild pitch moved Inciarte to second, Cliff Pennington reached on an error, and the D-backs had a runner in scoring position for only the second time in the game.
After Friedrich struck out David Peralta, Weiss brought in Adam Ottavino to try to work out of the jam one day after he gave up a two-out, go-ahead grand slam.
This time, Ottavino escaped, forcing an inning-ending groundout.
Charlie Blackmon added an insurance run in the top of the ninth with a solo home run.
"One of the things we need to work on is our quality of at-bats with guys in scoring position and our two-strike approach," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "We've been on a bad run right now."

Hey guys,
I just launched my new site last night and am trying to spread the word. It's a course review site where you can also track courses you've played, favorite courses, etc.
The url is www.dgcoursereview.com .
If you get some time, check it out and even add some courses or reviews while you're there
(Hopefully I'm not out of line posting this here and if I am, I apologize. I thought my site was a nice complement to DGR rather than competition since you don't have course reviews here).
Thanks guys!

It's easy to roll your eyes over the hype surrounding the confluence of Thanksgiving and Chanukah, but is it really so bad to call attention to two of our most family- and community-oriented holidays?
On Nov. 28, you can sit down with your family at a table festooned with "Happy Thanksgivukkah" placemats to eat a turlatken (a turkey stuffed with latkes or slow-roasted with a latke crust), potato latkes with cranberry chutney and a Thanksgivukkah tzimmes pie.
Afterwards, you can observe the second night of Chanukah by using your menurkey, the turkey menorah that has become the breakout symbol of the season. While the kids play with a dreidel featuring a turkey in place of a gimel ("gobble" — get it?), you can give your loved ones a T-shirt with an image of a menurkey perched on a guitar fret, a la the iconic Woodstock poster — enveloped in Thanksgivukkah wrapping paper.
The sheer singularity of Thanksgiving occurring during Chanukah — this is the first time it has happened since 1888, and it won't happen again, according to some estimates, for more than 70,000 years — has made the hybrid holiday a pop culture hit.
It's easy to downplay or even roll our eyes over the hype and commercialization surrounding the holiday confluence, but is that the right response? The convergence of Chanukah and Thanksgiving has indeed led to a new explosion of seasonal entrepreneurship, but in a world where multiple Kimye stories (about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West) are posted online daily, what is so bad about calling attention to two of our most family- and community-oriented holidays?
Nothing, according to Josh Perelman, the chief curator and director of exhibitions and collections at the National Museum of American Jewish History. "I think this convergence really resonates because the crosscurrents of themes and stories have provided us with this once in a lifetime opportunity to see Judaism and Americana align," he opined.
At the heart of both Thanksgiving and Chanukah, he said, "is the search for religious freedom, for a refuge, for a homeland. Both holidays symbolize the achievements of the dream to observe one's religion, ideals and practices as one chooses. And, of course, family and food are fundamental to both as well."
There are few people in Philadelphia who understand the relationship among food, family and holidays better than Terry Berch McNally. As the co-owner of London Grill, the Fairmount mainstay, she has been serving Jewish holiday staples for more than two decades. This Chanukah will be like all other Chanukahs, she said — with one major exception. Since the kitchen staff will be so busy replenishing the buffet table on Thanksgiving for the 200 or so hungry diners, she will be shuttling the latkes over from her house next door to the restaurant — but only on request.
"I can swing that," she said, insisting she will take care of her holiday regulars celebrating both. "If you're Jewish and you're there for Thanksgiving, I'll make you a plate of latkes — but you have to be sure to ask for it." Every other night of the holiday, she added, the restaurant staff will be making the latkes.
While Berch McNally is legendary for accommodating her restaurant patrons, she has been less so to her own family leading up to this year's double celebration. "We're going to light the menorah and say the prayers, but I'm separating" the holidays, she said, with Thanksgiving in the afternoon and Chanukah after sundown. "I finally had to say, enough — no more 'Chanukah at Thanksgiving' talk in my house!"
That attitude sums up what some fear as the downside to this unusual convergence — fatigue leading to disengagement. "I get weary and wary of the juxtaposition of these two very separate and distinct festivals," said Rabbi Robert S. Leib, the senior rabbi of Old York Road Temple-Beth Am in Abington. American Jews can acknowledge the overlap, he said, but "I don't think we need to necessarily go beyond that. It's very nice and it brings us all together, but I don't want my congregants to lose sight of the very special, unique qualities of Chanukah because of this convergence with Thanksgiving."
It is a delicate balance for Leib to strike, not least because his synagogue will be hosting the 63rd annual Abington Interfaith Community Thanksgiving Service on Nov. 26. The event brings people of all faiths together in the spirit of community that both holidays were founded upon. As a way to capitalize on that spirit, he said, attendees will be able to contribute toward Because We Care baskets, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia initiative to help those in need.
Leib is happy to advocate for keeping the spotlight on Chanukah and its message during this unusual holiday season. "Where would we be without Chanukah?" he asked. "We need to give thanks for the prowess, the might, the strength to fight against power and against assimilation."
Yet, it is because of assimilation that such a minor Jewish holiday has developed into a major one in the United States. "Chanukah is the only Jewish holiday to become more popular in the United States," over time, explained Dianne Ashton, the author of the recently published book, Hanukkah in America.
Ashton, a professor at Rowan University, traces Chanukah's rise in popularity to a pair of Reform rabbis in Cincinnati in the 1860s who began the tradition of holding children's Chanukah festivals at their synagogues. The holiday has continued to gain in popularity, she said, not just because it provides the only viable alternative to Christmas for Jews, but because "everybody gets involved in it — children, parents, relatives — and because it involves popular culture."
With this once-in-several-lifetimes event capturing both the popular imagination and multiple news cycles, some see a potentially transformative power of such an occurrence. Lila Corwin Berman, a professor at Temple University and the director of the Feinstein Center for American Jewish History there, thinks that all of the attention focused on the holiday could be an opportunity to make a real difference. "I would love to see some ways that Chanukah could be repurposed," she said, "like with chocolate gelt. What would happen if more Jews decided that they wouldn't give gelt to their children if it was made by slave labor children in the Ivory Coast — but that they would give it if they knew it was made with fair-trade chocolate?"
Corwin Berman acknowledges that the anti-assimilationist Maccabees may not have approved of celebrating an American holiday with a Jewish one, but she intends to take full advantage of it.
"It's kind of nice, because you usually don't spend Chanukah with family," she said, adding that "one thing we have learned from all of these studies floating around is that people want to feel connected to something larger than themselves in a Jewish context — that makes this a meaningful opportunity."

I use the Lexicon PCM bundle (which like the PCM 96 which I also own) really is not what most of us old timers would consider "the lexicon sound". The PCM plugs/PCM96 are really closer to a TC M3000/M4000 style of verb as they are very open, pristine and clear. They are great for those types of high quality verbs where you are not sure what the verb is doing to your sound until you take it away.
I have the demo of the Lexicon PCM Effects running and Ive listened to the lex reverb and fx together. They are good but if I did opt to buy the PCM native verbs I would use my Sound Toys fx for designing a sound
Found this just now...really reflects what Paul was talking about. Give it it chance its not your usual sales demo.... it may surprise you, it did me!
Julio,Thanks very much for adding the guitar stuff to your demos, very interesting to hear these verbs (some of which I couldn't demo myself as I don't use an iLok thingy).The thing that struck me is that they all sound good - dense and tonally balanced. I suppose it becomes a bit like fine wine appreciation - the differences are more perceptible with a more refined palette (so to speak) Saying that, I had a preference for the Sonnox Oxford, the lexicon PCM examples (very 'clean') and the softude TSAR 1's spatial effect.I have to say though, that my favourites (for clean guitar) were still my two 'mysteryverbs', which are: 'mysteryverb1' A Nebula library (EMT140VNXT) of a sampled plate reverbhttp://vnxtsound.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/so-finally-vnxtemt140-ready-emt-140s.html'mysteryverb1_2' Valhalla Uber-mod 'lateweb' preset (that I modified)Ubermod is particularly interesting, as it's not sold as a reverb plugin as such, but you can really create things from scratch, with easy access to lots of parameters and it has extensive modulation parameters too. That Nebula library (to me) is just a great capture of a plate.Lastly, one of my favourite verbs is actually the 'reverb' effect in Native Instrument's 'Razor' synth. I wish that was available as a standalone effect, as it's unique.

Phils bullpen steals show in finale vs. Mariners
Diekman, Giles, Papelbon preserve victory for shaky Hamels
PHILADELPHIA -- The multiple mound meetings were one indicator. The two wild pitches were another. All the signs clearly denoted that Cole Hamels' start against the Mariners was unlike his past eight outings. Fortunately for the Phillies' ace, the bullpen was there to pick him up.
Before Mo'ne Davis mania hit Philly on Wednesday night, the Phillies slipped by the Mariners, 4-3, in the afternoon, but it didn't pan out as the anticipated pitchers' duel at Citizens Bank Park.
Hamels, who entered the game riding a season-high eight consecutive quality starts -- during which he had posted a 1.56 ERA -- saw the run come to an end against Seattle, as he lasted just five innings and surrendered three earned runs.
"When I was able to locate it, I was getting foul balls or check swings. When I left balls up, that's when they were hammering them," Hamels said. "When you're able to locate and get ahead early, you're putting yourself in a tight spot where any pitch you miss with they're hammering and putting it in play. The pitches had to be located better, and they weren't."
Hamels' counterpart, James Paxton, picked up his first career loss after allowing four runs (one earned) in four innings. Paxton entered the game with a 1.88 ERA through his first nine Major League starts.
"I probably could've executed pitches a little bit better," Paxton said. "But they were finding holes with ground balls, a couple bloopers in there, but that's baseball."
Hamels' wasn't his sharpest in the first three innings, but a solo blast by Kendrys Morales in the second represented the only damage inflicted by Seattle. Marlon Byrd's 72nd RBI of the season tied the game at 1 in the third, but the Mariners finally got to Hamels in the following inning.
A Kyle Seager walk and Chris Denorfia single to start the fourth set the table, with Logan Morrison plating Seager on an RBI double after an Andres Blanco throwing error allowed Seager to advance to third. Hamels' fourth wild pitch of the season then led to another run as Seattle took a 3-1 lead.
"It doesn't matter if you get to Cole early or late, whenever you get to him, it's a good thing," Morrison said.
But the Phillies struck right back in the bottom half of the frame, scoring three runs in a similar fashion. Blanco hit a comebacker to Paxton, and the ball ricocheted off the pitcher's left ankle. Paxton airmailed the ensuing throw to first base to put two runners in scoring position. A passed ball allowed Wil Nieves to score to make it 3-2, and a Ben Revere groundout brought home the tying run. Chase Utley then threw his bat at an offering from Paxton for a bloop single that gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead.
"To be honest with you, we've been pretty darn good," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "That's the first one we've had all year like that. A lot of things just didn't go right. Knock on wood, it's OK."
The Philly bullpen then took over from there, with Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon combining for four shutout innings and nine strikeouts.
"Extremely important role for us three," Giles said. "To get the lead and if our starters can battle -- no matter how they do it -- we have to try and get our starters the win."
"It's just nice to know when you're not able to go deep into the ballgame that you know guys are going to be able to get the job done," Hamels said.
After getting the call to join the big league club in June, Giles has struck out 44 batters in his first 29 1/3 innings in the Majors. Hamels even referred to the 23-year-old as a "Brad Lidge in the making."
"He's the only guy that comes to mind that threw hard and had an incredible slider. And I think Ken Giles throws a little harder than Brad, which makes his slider more dramatic and devastating to hitters," Hamels said. "He's the type of guy who's going to be a closer for a long time."
In his last eight appearances covering 8 1/3 innings, Giles hasn't allowed a run.
"Right now, I have tons of confidence in myself," Giles said.
Having a mentor like Jonathan Papelbon -- who picked up his 30th save of 2014 on Wednesday after not reaching 30 for the first time in his career last season -- has gone a long way in helping with that.
"I think it all starts with Pap. It all goes with the confidence he has on that mound," Giles said.
Despite not having his best stuff, Hamels improved his record to 7-6 to claim sole possession of the team lead in wins.
"He was due for a win like this, with not his best stuff and his teammates picking him up, because he pitched outstanding on a long roll of games," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Some of them, without the run support and not a lot to show for it with the record. But he was due for one like today."

'Get kids moving'
The Shape We're InRESEARCH: Couch potatoes cost millions RESEARCH: Physical activity and children DIANA, W.Va. -- Four Webster County High School seniors danced on the kindergarten rug."Fly like an eagle!" they called, flapping their arms. Kindergartners flapped their wings."Jump like you're popcorn popping! Run from a growling bear! Slither like worms! Sway like a tree in a windstorm!" The Diana Elementary kindergartners jumped, learning vocabulary as they slithered and swayed.The older students slithered and swayed too. They'd come to promote a new campaign to get kids up and moving through the school day.To battle obesity, West Virginia Schools Superintendent Jorea Marple is asking schools and teachers to weave 15 extra minutes of physical activity into each day. "Plenty of research tells us physical activity improves a child's ability to listen and focus and learn."Since September, Marple's staff has crisscrossed the state, putting on more than 125 "Let's Move! West Virginia" demonstrations. They haven't reached all schools yet. "It sounds good, but I never heard of it," a Kenna Elementary teacher said last week.In Webster County, one of Marple's staff members trained the high school students to demonstrate for younger kids. "I plan to be a pediatrician, so this has been a great experience," said senior Levi Stout. "It helped me understand why it's important for kids to be active.""It's taught me how important exercise is, how it helps kids pay attention, stay healthy, and avoid things like diabetes," said Ashley Short, who plans to be a nurse.At Diana Elementary, they played a quick, aerobic round of rock, scissors, paper with the fifth-graders, then the kids sat back down smiling, faces flushed."Our kids come from the hollers around Diana," said Rondlynn Cool, Diana Elementary principal. "A lot don't get much exercise outside of school. We're in favor of this."A few miles away, the lunchtime crew at the Hometown Diner was in favor, too. "These kids ought to be out climbing trees and playing," owner Sharon Hall said, "but they're stuck to those little game machines. Their thumbs get plenty of exercise, but not the rest of them."What can 15 minutes do?Above all, Superintendent Marple wants to limit chair time -- children sitting for hours."We have an obesity and wellness problem, and the schools can do their part by getting kids moving," she said. "We know, from research, that when children sit for too long, they lose the ability to concentrate."They are also more likely to gain weight and have high blood pressure or cholesterol. "We'd like to see younger kids up and moving every 20 minutes," Marple said.Soon after she took office, Marple cancelled rigid requirements that dictated the exact number of minutes teachers must spend on each subject. "If students are excited, I don't want them to have to cut a lesson off because the time's up," she said.She also wants teachers to be free to weave bursts of physical activity through the day. "We're giving teachers the flexibility to say, 'I know that I need to get my kids up and moving. They'll come back more ready to concentrate." "Kids are happier when they get to move," she said. It can positively change a school's culture, she said.Marple hopes eventually to lower the obesity rate. In 2010-11, 18 percent of kindergartners and 23 percent of second-graders came to school obese. One in four fifth-graders had high blood pressure and red-flag cholesterol levels, and one in four was obese, according to measurements by West Virginia University.Obese children are at higher risk of future heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other problems."We also have a huge percent of children who live in poverty," Marple said. "Children who live in poverty often suffer from chronic stress. When you suffer from chronic stress, you may have difficulty focusing on instruction, and you're more likely to be obese. Research tells us you can lower stress by getting the heart rate up. All these things are interconnected."How do we do this?By the end of January, about 109 elementary and middle schools had signed on to Marple's "Let's Move! West Virginia" campaign.There are already at least 130 West Virginia schools in the national Healthy Schools Network, aimed at increasing physical activity and good nutrition in schools.Mary Weikle is in charge of the "Let's Move! West Virginia" campaign. Fifteen minutes is not enough, but it's important to start with something that's easily possible for a classroom teacher, she says.She knows some teachers will resist. "With No Child Left Behind, teachers are under a lot of pressure for their kids to score well. They feel like there's no time to lose. We hope to convince them short physical activity breaks will help, by keeping kids alert and reducing discipline problems."Nobody is ordering teachers to participate, Weikle said. "They'd dig their heels in harder," she said. "We want them to buy in. We want this to become as normal as taking roll, part of what a good teacher does." A former P.E. teacher, Weikle is full of ideas about ways to weave movement into academic instruction. How about jumping jacks while kids recite multiplication tables? A dancing spelling bee, stopping for 15 seconds to scribble after a spelling word is called?Kids can spell words with their bodies while others guess the words. They can jump when they hear a correct history statement and squat when they hear a false one. She is collecting videos of kids moving in class, with teacher testimonials, to show at schools that haven't tried it yet. "Once teachers hear from other teachers that it works, a bunch more will want to try.""They're going in the right direction, but it's not enough and it should be mandatory," said Sam Zizzi, West Virginia University professor of physical activity and sports sciences. "I'm guessing the 15 minutes will be squeezed in and won't be consistent. There'll be no quality control."If we really want to take a stand for fitness, we have to follow the national recommendation and get all kids physically active an hour a day. We need to make it a real part of the school day and teach kids that physical activity is important to a healthy life."But still, they're starting, and that's great," he said. "The Superintendent is putting that expectation from the top out there. That's a powerful thing."It's a national movement, Weikle said.
Chicago's Naperville Central High School brought their math scores up 20 percent after they identified students who were struggling with math and gave them intensive physical exercise the first period: aerobics, square dancing, etc. Winston-Salem's Marvin Ward Elementary School created a Ride and Read room with 30 exercise bikes so classes can exercise while they read. In Kearney, Neb., parent volunteers organize and oversee intramural games or dancing at lunchtime, sometimes running and walking at mid-day. In January, Weikle awarded the first $500 Let's Move! grants to 48 schools. Diana Elementary got one. "We don't have a P.E. teacher, so our teachers teach their own. We'll buy classroom materials," principal Cool said."I keep hearing about schools doing creative things," Weikle said: zumba at lunchtime, line dancing before school, outside and inside walking tracks. More than 100 schools have signed up for Adventures to Fitness, an energetic, free video series that teaches history while kids work out beside their desks. When Woodsmen International offered free jump ropes recently, state teachers ordered more than 75,000. Why not daily PE?In 2005, the Department of Education gave the Legislature a shockingly high estimate of the money it would cost West Virginia to have daily physical education. Physical education requires certified teachers and code-specified facilities, they said. But "physical activity" can happen anytime, anywhere, supervised by any school-approved person.The Department now says the cost can drop dramatically, if some days are physical activity. "That can be led by volunteers, teachers, or hired aides," Purkey said. "We'd need to train them."Kids should be moving at least an hour a day, according to: the American Heart Association, Stroke Association, Cancer Society, Institute of Medicine, Centers for Disease Control, and the American Diabetes Association.For physical education classes, those organizations recommend 30 minutes a day for elementary kids and 225 minutes a week for middle and high school students.West Virginia doesn't come close. Elementary students are required to have 30 minutes, three times a week. Middle school kids must have 30 minutes a day for one semester, but many schools collapse it into an hour a day for 18 weeks, then no P.E. for the rest of the year.High school students are required to take only one semester during all four years."We don't want to replace physical education. We just want to add more physical activity," Weikle said. "We've got to get kids moving however we can."At the same time, a coalition of West Virginians from various sectors, ranging from business to child care are putting together a West Virginia physical activity plan that covers both adults and children.

A MAN has been jailed after a £3million cannabis factory was discovered near Ardleigh.
Anthony Davis, 48, of Newbridge Farm, Fox Street, Ardleigh, was sentenced to three years and four months at Chelmsford Crown Court today.
Police discovered almost 3,000 plants and 27.7kilos of packaged and ready-to-sell cannabis at the former chicken farm.
The complex set-up involved three barns at the site with plots regularly harvested.
It is understood the units had been rented out through a lettings agency.
The owner denied having any knowledge of what the premises were being used for but declined to comment any further.

|June 2007
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: 1
Participants will receive usual clinical care, which may or may not include mental health treatment
Experimental: 2
Participants will receive cognitive behavioral intervention
Behavioral: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Participants in this group will receive individual sessions of cognitive-behavioral training for improvement of medication adherence and reduction of depression.
Detailed Description:
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a type of medication treatment for HIV that impairs the virus's ability to multiply. When used properly, it has been shown to be successful in reducing HIV-related deaths. A high adherence rate to ART is required to adequately suppress the virus, limit drug resistance, and reduce transmission. HIV infected people who are depressed often experience increased difficulty with adhering to their ART regimen. This study will compare the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral intervention that targets both depression and adherence versus usual care practices which may or may not include mental health intervention with the goal of improving ART adherence among HIV infected adults with depression who are experiencing difficulty with adhering to their medication regimen.
This study will last 24 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the cognitive behavioral intervention or usual care. Study visits for all participants will occur at baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 16, and 24. Those receiving the intervention will also have visits at Weeks 1 and 2. Participants receiving the intervention will attend five individual treatment sessions followed by one to three booster treatment sessions; these sessions will coincide with the study visits.

Video Reviews
Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories today I'm talking about the Shoei X-twelve this is new for 2010 top of the line flag ship helmet. Shoei said its born from racing bred on the race track this obviously replaces the X11, i have an X11 in anthracite and i have the new X12 just to give you a quick comparison between the two. If i turn them side by side here ,head to head if you will,you will see the shape the over all aggressiveness again built for the race track built for that real aggressive tucked position. The X11 was a fantastic helmet very very popular a lot of the top racers wore it for a long time, now they've moved on to the X12. What they've done with the exterior of the helmet is basically two things they have streamed lined it significantly if you look at the way the spoiler integrates into the back of the X12 verses the X11 you can see its just a cleaner shell shape and what that's going to give you is even better manors at high speeds its going to have less buffeting be smooth and stable . Its also probably going to be quieter as far as there's a little bit less exterior going on the X12 your going to have just cleaner flow of air over the top another thing that they have significantly upgraded from the X11 to X12 is the venting and if you look at the X 12 here there are actually five intake vents and ten exhaust vents a few are hidden behind the arrowhead spoiler and in the base of the neck roll even on the exterior you can see there's a large vent on the rear where the X11 does not have exhaust vents on the sides they've enlarged the other vents that are there so your just going to have a lot more air flow in the X12 vs the X12 which is already really an aggressively vented helmet they've just taken it one step further with the X12. Another thing you'll see when you take a look at these head on is the shield the eye port, has been changed so now you are on the CW1 shield its going to be taller and wider so you have a lot better view of the track ahead , more peripheral vision better top to bottom vision .That really helps when your on a really tight tuck you can still get your eyes up and see above the brow here. Other helmets come down too low for that not built for that aggressive riding position . The X 12 again built for the race track. I'm going to go ahead and move the X11 out of the way here and well get into the features of the X12. First thing i wanna talk about is the shell, this is Shoeis AIM plus shell its called the Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus Multi fiber Shell. Basically its a mix between carbon fiber , Kevlar and fiber glass . They use elastic fibers in there to basically spread and absorb impact as much as possible. So if you have a sharp impact point its going to spread it over the largest area possible. On the interior of the helmet we have the EPS liner and it does its job absorbing all of that energy and preventing it from transferring into your head. The venting on this helmet is extremely aggressive as i said you have a chin bar vent here, open and close that going to direct air up onto the face shield help reduce fogging . You have a brow vent its going to bring air into your forehead and bring it around the sides . You have a top scoop you'll notice a lot of these vents are forward on the helmet that's because when your riding in this thing your going to be in this position and that air is going to be ramming straight on to that vent and giving you plenty of air flow. You have some exhaust vents here and the way these work is as air flows over the top shell its going to create a vacuum behind this little lip here and that's going to draw warm air out of the helmet. Same thing on the back you have a closeable rear vent airs going to be drawn out the back , underneath the spoiler here you'll see the gap , that gap is going to have some holes threw the shell that are going to draw warm air out your going to have some on the sides here mini vents and then again at the base of the neck roll there are some small vents that come out from the inside as well which is going to give you even more ventilation. The arrowed spoiler on this is basically this rear portion and its built into the helmet and what that does like i said earlier reduces buffeting keeps your head very stable . This helmet is very well mannered if you need to do head checks it doesn't do anything weird doesn't pull doesn't shake shimmy i mean this thing again is built for the race track they know what they are talking about when they do high speed runs. When you get into the face shield here its again the CW1 shield its available in a multitude of tints colors being a race helmet its going to be available with tear off posts , it also come pin lock ready if you want to instal a pin-lock system you could purchase a pin lock ready shield which is a separate shield you'd have to purchase and that's going to have some pins inside that you can insert the pin lock system . Basically what that does it gives you a duel layered shield which is going to reduce fogging and it instead of the warm air from your breath hitting the shield directly its that pin lock that is insulated because its two layers , it works really really well Ive ridden with them quite a bit actually . As far as the shield mechanism goes this is what Shoei calls their quick release self adjusting base plate and if you get it nice and tight on this when i open it you can actually see these little springs inside compress and when it closes it pulls the shield back and in and what that does is it gives it a really good and tight seal around the entire gasket all the way around the face shield and that give you just a really nice tight fit. It prevents any outside air or water from getting in the helmet it also give you a little bit quieter of a ride. There is another feature here its the helmet and shield lock so if you tilt this back its actually going to lock the shield down you physically can not open , a lot of guys will run that at the track in the locked position so when your doing 150 plus and your doing a head check your shield doesn't come open on you. You can also push this forward and that's going to very slightly separate that gasket and shield to get a tiny bit more air into the shield which is again going to help with any fogging issues if your running into that or if its just a hot out and you just want a little bit extra air flow you can just crack that forward . Of coarse there's also a detente if you want to open it a little bit further you can open it to the first detente and there's also a ratcheting mechanism all the way up and down. To take this shield off is very simple just basically two triggers on both sides push forward on that and it pops right out very easy to do , it just comes right off. Another thing i want you to see right on the shield is it actually has a built in lip in the top edge, you don't see this very often at all and what that does when you close the shield it is going to create a seal right along the top of that gasket so if you are riding in the rain your not going to have water or other air or anything coming in from the top of the shield so that's a really great feature as well. To reinstall the shield just line up the pins give it a press its going to click right into place so these things are really easy to swap in and out . Next were going into the interior of this helmet which are where the guts are where it does a lot of the protecting. The interior of the X12 is again built for the racer who's on the track pushing it hard and sweating a lot , they use a max dry system which is a moisture locking liner its going to pull sweat away from your face its going to allow a lot of that ventilation that i showed you on the outside of the helmet actually reach your skin and reach your head they call it their 3D liner Ill tell you why when i pull it out here before i do you'll probably notice there are two bright red tabs on either side of the cheek pads . What those are Shoeis emergency quick release system and again this is for the race track it also would really benefit you on the street too if you have an accident basically its for emergency personnel to quickly and easily pull your cheek pads out which is going to allow them to lift your helmet off with minimal impact to your head and neck , so they would be able to slide your helmet off a lot easier with the cheek pads out. Basically what you do is just grab the tab and they would just pull it out and you see it has a little loop hole for your finger and you can just rip the cheek pad right out , do the other side here and you can just see how much bigger that opening is now and you could imagine how much easier they would have they would have a much easier time getting your helmet off of your head with that much extra room . You can remove the rest of the liner its just two snaps at the back and then plastic in the front and this is the 3D max liner , what i want you to see on this liner is all these holes and openings here are going to provide you with a lot of ventilation all that ventilation is coming from the inside of the helmet from the outside in, that cool air is going to come in reach your skin and the warm air is just going to be drawn out the back and its designed to work perfectly in conjunction with all the venting that's on the outside of the helmet .If you look down on the inside of this helmet you can see some of the channeling in the actual EPS liner. What they use is actually a duel layer EPS liner and i actually have one to show you right over here this is actually whats on the inside the guts of whats actually X12 here . Its a duel layer EPS liner there's a lot of research going into one of these basically its designed to absorb as much impact as possible it crushes on impact so that your brain doesn't slam up inside of your skull its going to absorb as much impact as possible. They use different density's of foam throughout the liner to progressively absorb the impact, do if you have a minor hit its going to still have that give that you need , If you have a major hit its going to have that slight give and then you resist more and more as the impact happens. There's also separate pieces Ive kind of taped it together here so you can see what it looks like put together on the inside of the helmet. Before i pull it apart i want you to notice how many holes there are on the outside vents that are reaching threw this liner. Here , at the top , at the top here and the rear , at the back of the sides i mean this thing is built again for very very good ventilation. If i kind of pull it apart here you'll see they have separate pieces for the sides of the helmet this is actually what goes on behind the base plate so where the shield mechanism is . You'll need more protection in that area you'll notice it actually doesn't compromise the thickness of the liner even with this piece in place its plenty thick in that area . The chin guard is actually 2 pieces so you can see the entire chin bar is lined with this EPS foam but a lot of the other helmet manufactures cant say that. Their chin bar has a but of rubberized material but a little bit of foam in the front but this is the full EPS liner that goes all the way across the chin bar you have complete coverage on this helmet , and then on the bottom of the helmet or on the inside rather you can see these channels that run threw the middle I'm going to see if i can get my tape off of here and ill pull out this inside piece and this is what i was telling you about earlier this is the duel layer feature of the liner and basically this is going to you can see there's air channels that run on the inside of the shell and again this is just to allow cool air to come in and all the hot air to escape the very bottom of the interior there's more air holes for the air to come out. The X 12 has Shoeis performance fit and basically its an intermediate oval and it is a little bit tighter if your coming from an RF1100 or a Qwest you'll notice that the helmet is just a little bit more snug not enough to go up a size or anything like that because you actually want the helmet to be snug. Again this helmet is bread from the race track born from racing so the guys you see out there Moto GP and they want their helmets tight as possible because when your pushing those upper triple digit speeds you don't want that helmet moving around at all , and in a crashing scenario you need that foam to be as close to your head as possible so your head doesn't travel to hit the foam the foams already there to absorb the impact in that kind of situation. So that was our in depth look at the X12 from Shoei .
