What IBD Taught A Professional Student of IBD
Someone asked me if I could write a blog post about what it was like for me dealing with IBD when I was a graduate student. Since I had ten years of experience being trapped in higher education, all while living with IBD, I'm probably over-qualified for this specific topic!
The main thing that affected my disease while I was a student was stress and the stress that came around exam time. With an over-achieving type A personality, I've always been hard on myself, but by college I had realized that getting an 'A' wasn't the most important thing in the world… a B+ would do in a pinch. I was a biology major in a rigorous program, which meant I studied a lot for subjects I didn't like or really understand why I had to learn them (chemistry, physics); therefore, around exam time I'd usually freak out because of the sheer amount of stuff I had to learn. The amount of work wasn't what got to me and would lead to a flare, but it was the few weeks of anticipatory freaking out. When I freaked out I didn't eat well, I didn't rest… I just freaked out, obsessed about how much I had to do, and freaked out again.
I think by now everyone realizes that your body has a distinct reaction to stress. That reaction compounded by the lack of sleep, exercise and normal eating habits can lead to a significant amount of IBD-induced misery. It's really no wonder that I felt horrible after finals every year in college.
For however much I freaked out at finals time, quadruple that level of stress and you'll have an idea of how I felt when applying for graduate school. To everyone around me I seemed fairly calm and controlled, so no one realized how much stress I was really under. When you are under stress for a relatively short period of time it's easier for your body to rebound, but when you are constantly under stress for months at a time – that takes a huge toll because you amplify and extend the same behaviors that cause trouble in the first place. The stress from grad school applications led me to a one way ticket to the hospital and emergency surgery.
By the time I got to grad school, I had figured out how to cut down on class/work-related stress. I finally accepted that there was only so much studying or work I could possibly get done and the rest was not my problem. When I was preparing for my qualifying exams (the single most stressful experience of my graduate career), I was concerned that I would slip out of remission and get sick again. While I studied just as hard as I did in college, the main difference was that this time I didn't freak out about what I didn't know. Even though this exam was an open-ended oral exam about the world of biological science, I knew that there was only so much my brain was going to absorb. In college, I would have (you guessed it) freaked out about not knowing everything. Fortunately by then I had become more accepting of not being 100 percent knowledgeable of a subject, because it was an unrealistic expectation for myself.
Overall, it comes down to letting go of the idea that you can control your IBD and instead just pay attention to what it is telling you. If you know that you'll be in a stressful situation, make a conscious effort to get more rest and take breaks more often. If you are tired – sleep. If you are hungry – eat. Don't just eat what is convenient that will probably make you feel worse, but decent food that won't come back to haunt you later. If you are freaking out – re-evaluate and set realistic goals of what you can achieve in the time you have. I know it sounds a little too easy, but it doesn't just apply to being a student… it applies to anything from work, to household tasks, to family life, because they can all easily become overwhelming. It is a huge change in your mindset, but letting the little things go and not stressing out about them can have a big change on how you deal with stress and your health.

As your 2012 disc golf tour comes to life, the Kansas City Flying Disc Club, in association with Disc Golf World and Dynamic Discs, invite you to join us for our celebration of the 30th Annual Kansas City Wide Open Disc Golf Tournament. That's right, it's been 30 years of fun and Frisbee in the City of Fountains! The first weekend in June is our spot and we have been working diligently to put together an amazing program of activities for all of our disc golfing guests. As most of you know, there is a rich and vibrant disc golf history here in KC, and we hope that many of you who are part of that history, will return to play and to share some memories.
This year's Celebration will be the biggest yet as we welcome players for this PDGA NT, A-Tier, and B-Tier extravaganza! You'll have a chance to enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes of Kansas City at the Saturday Evening Soiree featuring the wild and wacky "XXX Games," LIVE music, a meet-and-greet with former Champions, and a world record attempt. But don't forget what awaits ALL of you who come to our wonderful city—some of the nation's most-heralded disc golf courses and a Kansas City disc golf community and staff who is honored to host once more and eager to make your trip here memorable. Don't miss this historical celebration of one of America's most acclaimed disc golf tournaments!
About the Events
We've organized this tournament differently from previous years in that we're running three PDGA-sanctioned events concurrently. Because the purpose of the National Tour is to feature the top players in the Men's and Women's Open divisions, the NT will include only these divisions. The A-Tier will consist of all the age-based pro divisions and all advanced divisions. Both of these events will play the same five 18-hole courses over three days. The B-Tier is a two-day, three-round event for the intermediate, recreational, novice, and older junior divisions. The new and developing players in these divisions will get to play three of the same courses that the pros and advanced play.
We hope that you'll choose the 30th Annual Kansas City Wide Open. In addition to a lot of great golf and several off-the-course opportunities to enjoy Kansas City and other disc golfers, we will have player packages for all divisions and generous payouts.
For more information, including sponsorship and volunteer opportunities, contact: Event Director, Crazy John Brooks at 913.220.0591 or Competition Director, Rick Rothstein at 816.471.3472.

DENVER • One of the most storied NFL playoff teams ran into a rejuvenated Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.
Sorry, Pittsburgh Steelers.
The magic is back.
DENVER • One of the most storied NFL playoff teams ran into a rejuvenated Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.
Sorry, Pittsburgh Steelers.
The magic is back.
Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an electrifying 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime and the Broncos defeated the stunned Steelers 29-23 in the AFC wild-card game on Sunday. Wild doesn't begin to describe it. The play took 11 seconds and was the quickest ending to an overtime in NFL history.
Thomas hauled in a high play-action pass at the Denver 38, stiff-armed Ike Taylor and then outraced Ryan Mundy to the end zone. Tebow, who looked as startled as everyone else, headed for his own end zone and knelt on one knee a gesture known far and wide these days as Tebowing. Then he pounded a fist in triumph and took a victory lap.
Behind Tebow's 316 yards passing, the Broncos (9-8) are heading to New England for a second-round game against the top-seeded Patriots on Saturday night.
The Steelers (12-5) lost despite Ben Roethlisberger rallying injury-depleted Pittsburgh from a two-touchdown halftime deficit with 10 points in the final 10 minutes.
Pittsburgh called tails for the overtime coin toss, and it came up heads. Tebow, who engineered five fourth-quarter comebacks and three OT wins in the regular season, wasted no time in finding Thomas to end the game. Mundy was playing in place of Ryan Clark, the Steelers' leading tackler who sat this one out because of a blood condition that's exacerbated at altitude.
Clark was one of several Steelers sidelined or injured. Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey was out, replaced by Doug Legursky, who had a bad snap right before halftime that moved Pittsburgh out of field goal range.
After Thomas raced down the Broncos sideline, sending the crowd, including Broncos executive vice president John Elway, into a frenzy at Sports Authority Field, which was rocking like the old Mile High Stadium back in the 1990s.
And Elway, the architect of so many those magical moments at the old place, jumped for joy in his suite.
The Patriots walloped the Broncos 41-23 last month, sending Tebow into a funk that included seven turnovers and a 40 percent completion clip and prompting Elway to implore him to "pull the trigger" in the playoffs.
Did he ever.
Tebow completed 10 of 21 passes but Thomas hauled in four of them for 204 yards after his top target, Eric Decker, was lost to a left knee injury on the first play of the second quarter when he was hit by linebacker James Harrison.
Tebow also ran 10 times for 50 yards and capped his best day as a pro with the toss to Thomas.
These two teams had played the first ever regular season overtime game on Sept. 22, 1974, in Denver. Now, they played the first non-sudden death playoff game in history. The new rules called for both teams to get the ball in the extra period providing there wasn't a touchdown by either the offense or defense.
Tebow took care of that in a hurry.
Making his first appearance in the playoffs after going 7-4 as Denver's starter, Tebow outdueled Roethlisberger, a two-time Super Bowl winner, who fell to 10-4 in the playoffs.
The Broncos snapped a three-game losing streak that had many wondering if they were even worthy of their first playoff in six seasons, and it kept the Steelers from their 34th playoff win, which would have broken a tie with the Cowboys for the most ever.
Tebow led Denver to 20 second-quarter points they had scored just 13 in the quarter in his 11 starts but a 20-6 halftime lead didn't last long.
Receiver Mike Wallace had a 1-yard TD run, Shaun Suisham kicked a short field goal and Jerricho Cotchery grabbed a 31-yard TD pass with 3:48 left in regulation to tie it. Denver 29, Pittsburgh 23

"A Scalzi Twist on a Sci-fi Theme"
Another good episode from John Scalzi's "Human Division", chock full of the wit and humor that makes his series so popular and enjoyable. Although the issues in this volume are ones that have been covered in sci-fi before, Scalzi's delivery is very much his own.

"Wonderful story on multiple levels. My favorite! . . 😱"
5 stars excellent.
4 stars good.
6 stars = this story!!
These vignettes are from larger stories. This one is a song within a stellar opera! Enjoy. . 😱😱
This is me with one of my 13 grandchildren 'Jessica' Jess was helping me as I was"working hard" in my garden.
"The Mystery deepens"
This episode was excellent, the only problem is its length. Its too short, it whets or arouses the appetite and makes you want for more and more. I suspect that the next and last episode will be a few hours in length.
"An interesting universe"
Well read. I am am starting to get used to character voices now.
Having the episode number clearly visible in the title would be very useful
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Pretty good episode for this series but ..."
STORY - This episode has an interesting sci-fi element, but the plot line is pretty weak. It is becoming clear that each one of these episodes is, indeed, a standalone story and there is not a common plot line that is going to come to a finale in the end of the series. A couple of the episodes in this series that I have heard so far are very good, a couple are terrible, but most are just okay.
NARRATOR - Dufris does a good job with the different voices, but it was not a difficult narration to perform.
BOTTOM LINE - Listen to Episodes 1 and 7 and skip the rest. (Note that I haven't listened past Episode 11 as of this review).
"Well Written"
As with most of the short stories in this saga, it is well written and well narrated. A good listen.
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"One of the best."
So a quick review for this one.. don't wanna spoil things, in this book you get much bigger teamwork, and a bigger understanding of whats going on. and you get a sad story in this one... which is a change, you got an episode where they saved a dog, but this one doesn't have that happy ending.. Thats why i liked it.
come on next book!!!!

Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the heart valve between two chambers of the heart (the upper left chamber and the lower left chamber) bulge outward causing blood to leak backward through the heart. Mitral valve prolapse is also sometimes called click-valve syndrome, Barlow's syndrome, floppy valve syndrome, and ballooning mitral valve syndrome.
Mitral valve prolapse is often inherited and is linked with disorders such as Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Adult polycystic kidney disease, Ebstein's anomaly, and scoliosis (curvature of the spine).
In most cases, mitral valve prolapse is not serious and needs no treatment. Possible complications may include infection of the heart valve (endocarditis) and problems with heart rhythm (arrhythmias).
Mitral valve prolapse cannot be prevented.
Mitral valve prolapse is often asymptomatic, meaning there are no visible symptoms. Your child may be diagnosed during a routine doctor's visit. Symptoms include:
If your child has no symptoms, she may not need treatment. If she does require treatment, the doctor may recommend either medication or surgery to repair or replace the defective valve.
If your child experiences chest pains, you should seek immediate medical treatment. If your child has any of the signs of mitral valve prolapse, make an appointment to see the doctor.

Cambridge Who's Who lifetime member Lisa Parker was recently awarded
the Certified Employment Interview Professional (CEIP) Certification from the
Professional Association of Résumé Writers and Career Coaches (PARW/CC) after
completing its CEIP Certification Program. This valuable international
credential is sought after by career coaches, résumé writing
professionals, career counselors and interview trainers as well as corporate
human resource and hiring professionals. It serves as an additional avenue through
which Ms. Parker can provide career development coaching and services to her
clients and help them to attain their professional goals.
The CEIP designation is granted
to PARW/CC members who have undertaken specialized training to prepare their
clients for the critical employment interview. Most job candidates are
convinced that they interview well. However, surveys and studies of human
resource managers and hiring professionals indicate that they feel the average
job seeker does not perform well in the interview process. Candidates
who have practiced their interview skills and are best prepared for these
decisive meetings will be more confident, relaxed and likely to make a positive
impression that leads to the desired job offer.

Who's Who member Troy Hanna has
registered for Walk MS 2009. Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with
multiple sclerosis (MS). The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is committed to
ending the devastating effects of MS, but it cannot achieve this goal without help
from others. Mr. Hanna is asking fellow Cambridge members to support his
fundraising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.
Mr.Hanna is walking for this cause because of his desire to help those afflicted
by this debilitating disease, and because he would like to do everything in his
power to prevent more people from being diagnosed with MS in the future. There
is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with a diagnosis occurring most
frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime
filled with unpredictability.
The National Multiple Sclerosis
Society will use funds collected from Walk MS to not only support research for
a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs that address the needs of people
living with MS today. For more information, please visit www.nationalmssociety.org. To make
a donation or to sponsor Mr. Hanna, please go to his personal Team Captain

character learns to deal with real life situations that kids face while in
middle school.

Cambridge Who's Who lifetime member Ruth Cooper is a master artist and master painter with Parish Porcelain, a fine art studio located in Fort Collins, Colorado. Porcelain painting has been a passion of hers since childhood, and she has spent most of her adult life striving to master the art form.
Ms. Cooper discovered her love of porcelain while growing up in a children's home in Germany during World War II. There she had seen hand-painted porcelain pieces from the world famous Meissen porcelain factory. But during those hard times, painting was considered a frivolous pastime that would be of no benefit to her future, so her desire to paint had to be put on hold.
Not until after her college years did Ms. Cooper delve into the world of porcelain painting. She had been unable to complete a china painting course, but continued to study hand-painted antiques from all over the world on her own. Eventually she began attending seminars and classes at porcelain art schools, and has since studied with some of the country's most renowned porcelain artists. The highlight of her training was to be invited as the first applicant to the Meissen Art School for non-Meissen artists. Ms. Cooper has since been painting porcelain in both American and European styles, and teaching various techniques and gold application processes to students

Experts have defined engagement as a persistent state of work fulfillment. This fulfillment translates into enthusiasm
and passion, higher than average levels of concentration and focus, and an irresistible boost of energy. Indeed, passion, focus, and energy are key components of engagement: Take away any of these factors and engagement suffers.
Engagement is the current battle cry for many management experts. "We're all about engagement," one of our clients says. "Engagement is part of our values and training curriculum. We want to make sure our employees, leaders, and customers are engaged."
There are 10 Ms of engagement to help create engagement-friendly organizations. Nine of these components operate in three separate but deeply connected dimensions: the organization's culture, the job, and the person. The final factor—the match—connects the dots between culture, job, and personal issues.

If you guys are curious as to what Redskins fans think of Luck, here's a Reddit game thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments...vs_washington/
For the most part they're impressed with both QBs and I tend to agree. I'm excited for both of these teams.
Peyton has always said that you only complete 10% of those long throws but you keep the defense honest and get their attention. That helps your short pass game. I don't see the Redskins showing Luck any kind of respect. The Colts better show RGIII some or he will complete a 50-60 yd TD pass. I don't see Luck being able to do that. I think that arm strength has always been a concern of his critics like Sims and Parcells. He has done nothing to dispell that in the preseason. That pass to Hilton was the best one he has made in the preseason because he was under intense pressure and it was a long pass. I want to see more of that.... ...
This game shows that the critics were right, RGIII is going to a team that is better equipped to help him succeed. Washington has a better supporting cast. Colts have more work to do.
Its a shame this is a pre-season. RGIII is better than I thought. Wish these two could duke it out for 4 quarters
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Manning lost to Ryan Leaf 33-3....just like you keep saying after Luck does anything well, it's just preseason.
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Luck. RGIII showed them his arm twice and they got the message. RGIII's line is light years better than the Colts. They aren't the hogs but they look pretty damn good. Our line cannot pass block or run block. Luck is playing by himself and that is a recipe for injury and disaster. Stats can be made to say anything. I am watching the game and Garcon` can get anything he wants after those two long passes. He can start deep and curl back and be wide open every time.. ...
Secondly, I said nothing about RGIII or Joe Theisman or anything else. You just try to throw that crap in there to annoy people, as it had no place in the discussion. Every time you post, you don't have to say the same things 100 times over with no reason for saying it, again.
I also say it when he does not do something well. Two interceptions in a half last week but it is only preseason. These games don't mean anything at all. But our offensive line won't start playing better when the season starts..... ...
He's made 2-3 throws into tight windows that have been impressive. When je has a chance to step up, he can drill it in from 10-15 yards.
Dwayne Allen as the H-back - very much like.
How the hell was that incomplete? And even if it was, how could the ref possibly tell?
They will soon have more and if Luck takes more hits like that last one from the blitz up the middle that no one blocked, he will be done for the season in eight games. Theisman is commenting on how conservative the Colts offense is and no one is getting down field. The are doing that because Luck doesn't have time to throw deep.... if he can since he hasn't shown it yet... ...
I don't know if this Morris kid is actually good or our defense is just that bad
I'm not saying the sky is falling . Griggs has done a great job so far but there is still work to do. Look at the colt's running game. The o-line needs more help and a true Nose tackle would help a bunch.
Lots of good young players with potential on the Colts team. However, the redskins have solid vets that can get it done. Their o-line hasn't play that much together, yet, they have out played the colts' o-line so far this game.
Probably the latter.
Turning the game off now. Didnt hear Theisman say that, but i git up to pee for a few seconds so maybe i missed it
Both kids looked good. God help RG3 this year if this line doesnt learn to block
A fair point. But a minor peeve of mone. Manning didnt lose 33-3. The Colts (as a team) did
I wish RG3 the best, but Dan Snyder is either going to have to go broke or fall off a cliff for the Redskins to be a successful franchise.
That is very funny. The Redskins line is about 1000% better than the Colts line. I think the Redskins could beat the Colts with their number two defense and offense. There is a HUGE difference between these two teams. ...
Three years ago i would have agreed with you. However, pnce he brought shanny in and he told hi
To hire a GM the organization did a 180
Lots of work left to do, but i think snyder may have (finally) "got tit". For redskons fans everywhere i xan only hope so

Seventy-one percent of Americans questioned in a new opinion poll wrongly believe the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is an "umbrella group" for America's local humane societies. Sixty-three percent incorrectly think their local "humane society" is affiliated with HSUS. And 59 percent falsely believe HSUS "contributes most of its money" to local organizations that care for cats and dogs.
The poll, which sampled the opinions of 1,008 Americans, was commissioned by the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) and conducted by Opinion Research Corporation (ORC) of Princeton, N.J.
"These numbers indicate that Americans don't really know what the Humane Society of the United States is all about," said CCF director of research David Martosko. "HSUS intentionally uses those sad dogs and cats in its TV infomercials as props in an animal rights fundraising shell game. Meanwhile, thousands of American pet shelters are underfunded and struggling." Martosko blogs about HSUS at www.HumaneWatch.org.
According to the federal income tax return filed by HSUS for the tax year 2008, less than one-half of one percent (0.5 percent) of the organization's budget consisted of grants to hands-on pet shelters. HSUS does not run a single shelter for dogs or cats anywhere, and it is not affiliated with any local "humane society" organizations.
Martosko continued: "This poll indicates that most Americans think HSUS is a worthy charity. But very few Americans understand what HSUS really is—a super-rich lobbying group that puts more money into its executive pensions than in the hands of local humane societies."
Survey methodology
The survey of 1,008 adults nationwide was conducted by telephone between Feb. 25 and Feb. 28, 2010 by Opinion Research Corporation. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points.
I'm going to read you the names of several nonprofit organizations. For each one, please tell me if you are very familiar, somewhat familiar or totally unfamiliar with the organization.
The Humane Society of the United States ...79 percent familiar ("very"/"somewhat" net)
I'm going to read you several statements. For each one, please tell me if you think the statement is true or false.
71 percent "TRUE": The Humane Society of the United States is an umbrella group that represents thousands of local humane societies all across America
63 percent "TRUE": My local humane society or pet shelter is AFFILIATED with the Humane Society of the United States.
59 percent "TRUE": The Humane Society of the United States contributes most of its money to local organizations that care for dogs and cats.
48 percent "TRUE": My local humane society or pet shelter receives financial support from the Humane Society of the United States.
(Tax records filed by HSUS show that all four statements are false.)
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit watchdog organization that informs the public about the activities of tax-exempt activist groups. It is supported by American consumers, business organizations, and foundations.

How to Use
The coastline of Maine is known as a drowned coast, caused by the retreat of the last glacier approximately 13,000 years ago. The islands off the coast would have been hilltops on the mainland at one time.
Questions for Map 1
1. How would you describe the coastline?
2. How do you think people would have lived along the Maine coast in the 1800s? How might they have made a living? What would they have worried about? Would you have wanted to live on the islands? Why or why not?
3. Locate Mount Desert Island. How does the size of this island compare with the rest of the islands off the coast?
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 1, but be aware that the file may take as much as 60 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

The victim, 35, was walking along Fernlea Road in Harwich on Friday night when she was approached by the gang.
Six men stopped her and demanded she hand over and belongings.
She refused and they threatened to stab her, but no weapon was seen.
The victim ran away from the scene and escape the robbers. Nothing was taken and she was unharmed, but left shaken by the incident.
It happened at about 9.30pm on Friday.
The victim was able to describe three of the attackers to police.
The first suspect is described as white, 20 years old, about 5ft 7ins tall, and was wearing a blue and white checked shirt with dark blue jeans.
Suspect two is described as white with black hair and a stud earring in his left ear. He is about 5ft 6ins tall and was wearing a distinctive black jacket with reflective stripes on both sleeves.
The third suspect is thought to be aged about 20 and was wearing a dark blue v-neck jumper with blue jeans.
Det Con Mo Crawley said: "This attempted robbery left the victim shaken.
"I'm keen to speak to anyone who knows who is responsible or who might have seen these men run away. The victim saw them run in the direction of Alexandra Road."
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The future of Oncology
A short while ago on this blog we began a series on Making a Difference about people in the cancer field who have a real passion and excitement for lasting and impactful change. The first one was an interview with Alain Moussy of AB Science in Paris.
Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with the admirable Dr. Susan Desmond-Hellmann, formerly Head of R&D at Genentech and now Chancellor at UCSF. It's a strange business sometimes as we were both working in industry at the same time on different targeted cancer drugs in liquid and solid tumours but our paths never crossed, although it seems we share similar views on cancer drug development, ie purer targeted agents and finding faster ways to market for effective therapies that impact the lives of people with cancer.
