02:49 AM ET 10.24 | 1. LSU Tigers - Like Mandel says this week in his Power Rankings, 4-1 against top 25 teams is better than Ohio State's 0-0. I know they nearly lost to Auburn this week, but thanks to the iron-clad testicles of coach Les Miles, it's a win--and in the end, that's what matters. 2. Ohio State Buckeyes - For now at least. Do I think they'll lose this week at Penn State? No. But the meat of their schedule is finally coming up, and they'll drop one of these last four at least, and a split is definitely possible. 3. Oklahoma Sooners - They've looked vulnerable against their last few opponents, and if they continue to struggle it may catch up to them. But I don't think they will. This is another case of a team with a couple quality wins and an okay loss getting a nod over a team with neither. 4. Boston College Eagles - If they get through Blacksburg unscathed, I may have to jump them all the way to the top (especially if the season continues as it has and the others fall). But that's a HUGE if. VaTech is one of the toughest places to play in the nation, and you can be sure Hokie Nation will be out in full force for this one. 5. Oregon Ducks - Bonus points for having the best mascot in the top 25. Those got taken away for having, based on the day, the worst unis. These Ducks are for real, though, and Jonathan Stewart is about as underhyped a back as there is. He had an absolute field day last week. Past here it gets pretty hazy. West Virginia is ranked sixth, but how are they so much higher than a South Florida team that beat them? Arizona State is seventh, but what's the difference between them and a Kansas team ranked five spots below them? VaTech is eighth, but for me it's hard to erase the memory of a 48-7 embarassment, even though it was to LSU. USC and Florida tied for ninth round out the top ten, and I'm sure their rankings aren't hurt by the fact that they are USC and Florida. Why USC, who has gone 6-1 against patsies, over 6-1 Missouri, who has gone 2-1 in their last three games, all against ranked opponents? Honestly, there's no explanation. This season, as it has been written before, the polls have been as useful as a screen door on a submarine. So I'll stop complaining. For more, visit ForeverRivals.com.

Nowadays we use more commonly Miniature Circuit Breaker or MCB in low voltage electrical network instead of fuse.
Compared to fuse,The MCB has following advantages.
- Automatically switches off the electrical circuit during abnormal condition such as over load and short circuit condition
- MCB is much more sensitive to over current than fuse.
- by using MCB the faulty zone of the electrical circuit can easily be identified. But in case of fuse, for faulty zone,fuse wire should be checked by opening fuse grip or cutout from fuse base.
- Quick restoration of supply can not be possible in case of fuse as because fuses is rewirable or replaced for restoring the supply. But in the case of MCB, quick restoration is possible by just switching on operation.
- MCB provides more electrically safety than fuse.
Because of so many advantages of MCB over fuse units, in modern low voltage electrical supply, MCB is mostly used instead of fuse unit.Disadvantage of MCB over fuse is that MCB is more costlier than fuse unit system.
Miniature Circuit Breaker Working Principle
There are two modes of operation of miniature circuit breaker. One is due to electromagnetic effect of over current and other due to thermal effect of over current. During short circuit condition, sudden rising of electric current, causes electromechanical displacement of plunger associated with tripping coil or solenoid of MCB. The plunger strikes the trip lever causing immediately open the circuit breaker contacts.The thermal operation of miniature circuit breaker is achieved with a bimetallic strip.when continuous over current flows through MCB, the bimetallic strip is deflected due to heating and by bending. This deflection of bimetallic strip releases mechanical latch.This causes to open the miniature circuit breaker contacts. This was a simple working principle of miniature circuit breaker working principle.
Difference between MCB and MCCB :- Mostly people are confused between MCB and MCCB. Although both are circuit breakers, there are actually some key differences between the two.
Let's understand the abbreviation stands for. "MCB" stands for "Miniature Circuit Breakers" while "MCCB" is "Molded Case Circuit Breaker."
[adrotate banner="5"]
- An MCB has less than 100 amps while an MCCB goes as high as 2,500 amps:- The main difference between them is their capacity with the MCB rated under 100 amps with an interrupting rating of under 18,000 amps. On the other hand, an MCCB can be used at high amps as 2,500 or as low as 10 depending on what is necessary. Their interrupting rating can be around 10,000 amps to 200,000 amps.
- MCB is mainly used for low-energy application such as home wiring or small electronic circuits. The MCCB is more used in application for high-power equipment.
- Although an MCCB has a higher capacity than an MCB, both are classified under low voltage circuit breakers and some MCCB units can be tripped using only a remote control in electrical motor operation.
it is important to consider the amount of power when choosing between using an MCB and an MCCB. MCBs are mostly installed for home use while an MCCB is generally utilized for commercial or industrial purposes. As mentioned above, MCCB is more suited for higher energy application because of better capacity. In home use, the MCB is usually the choice. For heavier power requirements beyond the 2,500 amps, medium or high-voltage circuit breakers would be the next best possible choices.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mass transportation to and from the Boston area was virtually shut down Friday as police conducted a massive manhunt for a suspect in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing.
Amtrak trains sit idle in a train yard on the south side of Boston Friday, April 18, 2013 as all transit service remains shut down in the Boston area. Two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during their getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left one of them dead and another still at large Friday, authorities said as the manhunt intensified for a young man described as a dangerous terrorist.

The message from Boston transit authorities — shared early in the morning via Twitter — was clear: "Go/stay home."
As the manhunt stretched into the afternoon, Amtrak stopped all trains on the heavily traveled corridor between New York and Boston. Its service from Boston to Maine was also halted. All major intercity bus lines suspended service to the area. Authorities also stopped service on commuter trains into Boston as well as the city's subway — called the T — and the city's buses.
By Friday evening, authorities had lifted the stay-indoors warning for people in the Boston area, and the transit system started running again. People were warned to be vigilant because the suspect was still at large.
Calls to Amtrak and intercity bus companies Greyhound/BoltBus and Megabus were not immediately returned Friday evening following the lifting of the warning.
Only air travel functioned normally throughout Friday. Planes took off and landed mostly on schedule at Logan International, although passengers entering the airport drew extra scrutiny from state police.
All major highways in the region remained open except in Watertown, Mass., the center of the manhunt. But they — and most city streets — remained eerily empty as people heeded the government's advice and stayed home.
"I'm just like everybody else in greater Boston, just staying at home, glued to the television," said Bob Trane, an elected alderman in Somerville, Mass., a densely populated city minutes from downtown Boston. "There is nobody out in the streets, very few cars, very few people walking."
Elsewhere, travelers scrambled to find a way home.
Stranded by the Amtrak shutdown, the Rev. Victoria Weinstein passed the time with a beer in a New York bar. She weighed her options for getting home to a Boston suburb.
"I have my Plan A, B, C, and D," she said. There were rides with friends, family or waiting a day. She even considering hitching a ride with a stranger from New England she met at the bar.
"I really just want to be home with my community," said Weinstein, a Unitarian Universalist pastor. "I'm just thinking about all the people whose hearts are broken."
MegaBus, which canceled 35 trips to and from Boston Friday — affecting about 2,500 passengers — said it will also cancel its 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. trips out of Boston Saturday.
Travelers whose trains or buses were canceled are getting full refunds. All airlines allowed passengers scheduled for Friday to change flights to other days, although policies varied widely. Grace periods ranged from a few days on airlines like American and Delta, while United Airlines is giving passengers up to a year from the date they purchased their tickets to fly.
Passengers trying to leave Boston by air were met by Massachusetts State Police searching vehicles at entrances to Logan. The airport handles about 1,000 flights a day and has been operating at a heightened level of security since Monday's attack, according to Matthew Brelis, director of media relations for MassPort, the public agency that runs Logan.
Government officials refused to say why flying was the only form of mass transit allowed.
But airports are a very different environment than bus or train stations. Every person and piece of luggage moving through an airport goes through a security screening. Each passenger's name, date of birth and gender is compared to those on terrorism watch lists. And before boarding a plane out of town, each person must pass through a checkpoint where police have ample time to compare them to photos of suspects.

*All of the information provided is for singleton pregnancies. All information is intended for normal, healthy pregnancies with no health issues. For detailed information on Pregnancy, Post-Pregnancy and Breastfeeding nutrition please check out our Moms Into Nutrition 40-page download (only $1.99)
Lindsay's new book
Is it important to exercise if I am trying to conceive?
Yes, you should get your body used to exercise before dealing with pregnancy. Moms Into Fitness recommends starting an exercise program 6-8 weeks pre-pregnancy. The Pre-Pregnancy & 1st Trimester DVD is perfect for this time. You should also start building up your nutrient stores and targeting your ideal BMI/weight. You can scroll down to find your BMI, use your pre-pregnancy weight if you are already pregnant.
Find your BMI by using this calculation:
(Current Weight) x 703
(Height in inches) x (Height in inches)
Can I exercise during pregnancy?
Yes, with your doctor's permission. Please use the Rate of Perceived Exertion (scroll down to see this) to rate your perceived exertion (RPE), or how hard you are working out. The American Council on Exercise recommends pregnant women stay between a 5 & 8 on a 10-point scale. As you progress in your pregnancy it will be easier to achieve a higher RPE without as much work, which is why trimester-specific exercise is so impotant.
Rate of Perceived Exertion:
0 Feeling you get when sitting.
1 Activities like getting dressed.
2 Feeling you might get while doing laundry.
3 Taking a casual walk.
4 Walking briskly, but still maintaining conversation.
5 Feeling you get when rushing out the door.
6 Feeling you get when rushing up a flight of stairs.
7 Exercise while singing.
8 Slightly tiring exercise, but still speaking full sentences.
9 Feeling fatigue. Breathing hard.
10 All out exercise. Could not maintain for more than 30 seconds.
Also keep in mind heart rate monitors can be wrong during pregnancy. This is why it is wise to use your RPE.
But please keep in mind that there is no "1 size fits all" exercise for pregnant women. Remember to take it at your own pace and NEVER get to fatigue. If you don't know what is too much or too little please check out Lindsay's Pregnancy DVDs.
And the general rule is not to do more than you did before you were pregnant, especially after the 20 week mark.
If you find that any exercise creates a very tired feeling cut down the time, frequency or intensity.
Stop exercising if any of these symptoms occur and seek your doctor immediately:
- vaginal bleeding
- pre-term labor
- decreased fetal movement
- dizziness
- headache
- shortness of breath
- chest pain
- calf pain or swelling
- muscle weakness
- discomfort
- amniotic fluid leakage
Remember you should stop exercising when fatigued and not exercise to exhaustion. Fatigue should not even be a part of your vocabulary while you are pregnant! Keep in mind Moms Into Fitness® is here to guide you through these 9 months, but please listen to your body and use the modifications.
Can I exercise during Pregnancy if I haven't exercised before?
A 2002 study by ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,) which was reaffirmed in 2009, states that previously inactive women should be evaluated before recommendations for exercise are made. So make sure you get your physician's recommendations before embarking on an exercise program during pregnancy.
What are the benefits of exercise during pregnancy?
There are plenty of reasons and you will feel the benefits!
- You will have a healthier placenta, which is vital to your baby.
- Quicker return to pre-pregnancy weight.
- You will feel better!
- Improve recovery time, cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance.
- Relieve yourself of common pregnancy complaints: constipation, swelling, cramps, nausea, varicose veins, insomnia, fatigue, back pain, and urinary incontinence.
- Improve energy levels, mood and circulation.
Can I workout on my back (supine position) during pregnancy?
ACOG recommends that you do not lie on your back after the 4th month. Moms Into Fitness® products follow the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines.
Can I do abdominal (abs) work during pregnancy?
This is a question you will have to have answered by your doctor after the first trimester. The Moms Into Fitness series provides core (abs and back) exercises in a safe position for you and the baby during the second and third trimesters. These specific prenatal core exercises are very beneficial to your body both during and after pregnancy.
How often should I workout?
Try to workout at least 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes. Toning should be done every other day. Add some prenatal yoga for relaxation. Ideally you should do some form of exercise most days of the week.
How much weight should I gain during pregnancy?
The Institute of Medicine released new Pregnancy Weight Guidelines in 2009. You will need to know your BMI to see what range you fall in. You can calculate your BMI by using the formula above and entering your pre-pregnancy weight.
- Underweight (BMI < 18.5) gain 28-40 lbs.
- Normal Weight (BMI 18.5-24.9) gain 25-35 lbs.
- Overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9) gain 15-25 lbs.
- Obese (BMI > 30) gain 11-20 lbs.
And don't worry your weight gain is more than just baby! It includes increased blood volume, the placenta, amniotic fluid and more.
Pregnancy Nutrition?
Your body needs approximately 80,000 total calories to support a pregnancy. This breaks down to an average of 300 calories a day coming from all food groups to give you the variety of nutrients you need. The most recent research indicates you do not need to add many calories in the first trimester, but add 400 calories to both your 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
If at any point you are gaining too much weight, do not try to lose the weight, but modify your caloric intake to slow the weight gain. You can check out your specific nutritional needs during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Also check out the Moms Into Nutrition 40-page download (only $1.99)

Manfred Sternberg has been appointed by the Texas Statewide Health Coordinating Council to the Health Information Technology Advisory Committee. The 11-member Committee was formed in 2005 to establish a long-range plan for healthcare IT in Texas, including the use of electronic medical records, computerized clinical support systems, computerized physician order entry, regional data sharing The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time. interchanges for healthcare information and other methods of incorporating information technology to improve patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Sternberg is one of only two committee appointees who are public members.
"As the healthcare industry transitions to the Digital Age, Texas is proactively working to establish the proper IT infrastructure and communication with regional health information organizations that will support interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. between physicians, hospitals, other providers and insurance companies here in Texas, as well as nationwide," said Manfred Sternberg.

I'm looking forward to helping Texas set the example for the nation by leveraging the immense potential of IT to enhance patient care and lower costs."

Great article on how alienated Jackie Robinson was from baseball at the end of his life. Very sad.
Robinson never bothered to hide his antipathy toward the game he had done so much to change. He participated in very few of its ceremonial events over the years and refused to go to old timers games so often that teams stopped inviting him.
One notable exception occurred on June 4, 1972, when Robinson agreed to come to Dodger Stadium to have his number retired. He had resisted the idea for many years but finally Don Newcombe, his old friend and teammate who worked in the Dodgers' community relations department, convinced him.

Make college affordable
Naila Dhanani: Keep federal funds, stop raising tuition
Published: Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 19:07
Higher education is the most effective tool to ensure financial stability for today's youth. But with costs spiraling out of control, its value is quickly diminishing.
A degree from Texas A&M may not be worthwhile if students can't find a job post-graduation in a shaky economy and have tens of thousands of dollars in student debt to pay off.
Instead of the promise of a hopeful future, our diplomas will quickly become a reminder of our desperate fight to stay afloat in the face of staggering student loan debt.
President Barack Obama has a plan, which he outlined during his recent State of the Union address.
"When kids do graduate, the most daunting challenge can be the cost of college … Americans owe more in tuition debt than credit card debt," Obama said. This is unacceptable. This year, student-loan debt is expected to reach $1 trillion. Higher education should be an asset, not a hindrance when entering the real world, yet student loan debt prevents this from happening.
Obama unveiled a solution Friday at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor when he said colleges and universities "can't assume you'll just jack up tuition every single year. If you can't stop tuition from going up, then the funding you get from taxpayers each year will go down."
It's a great idea. At a time when funding is scarce across the board, why continue to fund institutions that may no longer provide a high value for students? Although federal funds provide money to students and not universities, it continues to sustain a process of overwhelming student debt.
The federal government provides billions of dollars each year to students in the form of federal grants, work-study programs and federal loans. If this disappears, receiving a degree from A&M may turn out to be unattainable for most.
And we shouldn't hold our breath for state funding to come through. Although Obama said, "States also need to do their part, by making higher education a priority in their budgets," our state hasn't gotten the memo.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is expected to soon disclose the amount of funding the state will provide per student for the next two years. It's expected to decrease from previous years.
With diminishing state funds and the threat of federal funds disappearing, those who set tuition rates at our school, specifically the Board of Regents should take notice and immediately change its policy of increasing tuition rates year after year.
The current trend of raising tuition is not sustainable. Sooner or later, students will not be able to afford the cost and that leaves our university and our nation in a dangerous place. I encourage our administration to take Obama's threat seriously and instead of increasing our tuition, increase its efficiency and keep costs down.

See the accompanying video about the impending demolishing of a former residential building on 7th Street and how it relates to Midtown's architectural fabric.
7th Street Building to be Demolished
Members of the Midtown SPI-16 & SPI-17 Development Review Committee have expressed frustration over not being better equipped in preventing building owners from allowing Midtown structures to fall in disrepair.

Sarcasm is not funny JonC. "BTW, you need a deeper V tshirt and sassier crewcut in front of tree for a background"...said your new make over stylist.
Urbanist December 13, 2012 at 02:20 PM
Yes, Novare and their banal building blocks are the definition of progress, but the many cities (Chicago, NYC, San Francisco, Boston, etc.) who preserve their low and mid-rise buildings to ensure proper land use, and proper supply control within the market are just a bunch of tiny backwards municipalities...Go back to Dothan.
Tim December 13, 2012 at 02:23 PM
Except that a parking deck, ugly as Novare's are, is for all practical purposes permanent. However, this existing building has many chances to be renovated and add to the character and beauty of the neighborhood. Of course this requires "thinking" outside of the box.
JustinK December 13, 2012 at 04:12 PM
Does anyone know why they're tearing it down now? The plans for the new apartment tower/deck seems to align to the edge Viewpoint which would suggest there's no reason to demolish it to allow construction. The plans even show the building in place. Unless it's b/c they're breaking out the bulldozer and it's just cheaper to keep going.
Jim in Atl December 13, 2012 at 04:15 PM
Unfortunately, there is no trigger on refurbishment of these buildings or a timeline for putting them back into active use when the developer agrees to "preserve" them. Developers often intentionally and wilfully allow these beautiful buildings to waste away, fail to undertake any maintenance and choose not to put the buildings into ANY sort of active use. Then, after the buildings are in grave disrepair and the developers are ready to implement their real plan - demolition - they claim it is "too expensive" and "not financially feasible" to rehabilitate the very buildings that they had intentionally neglected. You'd be tempted to say penny smart, pound foolish and that it would have been cheaper to maintain these buildings all along, but it was always the developers' intent to skirt the preservation requirement by allowing the buildings to fall in on themselves, become an eyesore, gin up neighborhood complaints about "prostitutes" and "drug users", then plead poor mouth and whine about the exorbitant costs these "old buildings" require - all so that they can erect another unremarkable Coke bottle blue glass box.
JustinK December 13, 2012 at 05:28 PM
That plan was 6 yrs ago...long before the crash. They also didn't plan on losing the Atlantic to foreclosure (and thought they could get $400/sf). Economics today say there's no money in luxury residences in the price range those would be in especially w/ nothing but a view of SBX & Bulldogs. Look at those massive empty townhouses on Piedmont. I'm not sure how they could put in an apartment where the SBX is now given anything short of a very narrow highrise would have 10 stories in perpetual darkness of being just north of the Viewpoint deck. Residents would wind up w/ vitamin D deficiencies after a while. Given the constant comedy of people trying to maneuver the SBX lot, I'd venture there's not enough room to do a podium parking deck in that space so it'd have to either build up the Skyhouse deck further or repurpose that lot north of 7th. The original Viewpoint/Trilogy plans showed 3 towers but w/ the 3rd tower at the N/E corner along Juniper/7th and parking filling in the space between 2 and 3. If they're going for a 3rd tower that'd be the location to put it. I actually wouldn't be against that given it'd probably create the single highest density residential block in the state regardless if there are 2,000 parking spaces included. It'd also leave less space for the deck to spread out and probably kickstart some more retail development.
Hunt Archbold (Editor) December 14, 2012 at 05:59 PM
Brett, the demolishing is slated for sometime in January but an exact date is not known.
Darin December 14, 2012 at 06:33 PM
That Cornerstone Village apartment is one of my favorites. It's a great example of mixing old and new. One of the best things about the Peachtree corridor in Downtown and Midtown is the variation you get in building styles from different periods. The whole history of architecture in the city is represented. It would be a shame to lose that.
Bebe Morgan December 14, 2012 at 08:13 PM
I haven't read all of the posts and may be duplicating a response from someone else. The day will come when buildings like this one are defended with all the effort humans can exert when the effete leadership at the Atlanta Preservation Center is replaced with people who will fight for these buildings.

OMG, I'm so glad that building is gone. People think we should saze every building that is old! I guess we should have saved all the barns and farm houses in areas where there are now subdivisions and strip malls. Give me a break! Now I think there are some buildings that should be saved but everytime someone talks about tearing a building down in Midtown there is a big up roar. Don't you people know 100 years from now when we are all dead and gone they are going to be doing the same thing about certain buildings we are doing today. Some will need to be kept but most will need to be torn down and the area rebuilt. It's called the cycle of life!!

This is the reason Atlanta will always be inferior to Boston and NYC. I noticed that people in the south lack the intelletual capacity to understand the preserving history. Or maybe it's because people in the south are used to having their cities torn or burned down like back in the civil war days. LOL dumb rednecks........ Thank god for General Sherman.....

All should be ashamed who said they did not care about this building coming down. Atlanta has a love affair with tearing down old buildings. The greatest cities in the USA embrace their old neighbors and give character to their cities. Atlanta just does not seem to get it. Don't blame the developers, place the blame on those who allow this to happen. Shame on the Atlanta city council.
Bryan January 08, 2013 at 03:55 PM
@ Dookie Doo You are right Atlanta will never be Boston or NYC. Those cities were built up in a completely different time in a completely different mannor. If you are a true Atlantan (by birth or by just living here) then you would want Atlanta to have it's own identity. And it's fully because those cities are tearing town old buildings all the time but because there are much more of them to go around there isn't an issue. I like living in a modern city. I don't want to go around a see a bunch of old renovated buildings. You want the new on the inside but have the city look old from the outside? I live seeing new modern towers and buildings. I like my new city. If those that were building NYC and Boston were into "preserving history" you wouldn't have those cites the way they are today. You don't think they had to tear down areas to rebuild. Look at the WTC site; that was a bunch of low rise older buildings that they tore down to create that site for the twin towers. Look at Boston when they had to tear down hundreds of buildings for the elevated highway they once had downtown. You don't hear anyone talking about preservation. Now Boston has a completely new interstate and with taking the elevated interstate down can now rebuild those areas. And we all know why there is being a new WTC built. Point is every city tears down and starts over so we don't need to keep every old building just because it was built in the 1930s and 40s. That's not character.
Bryan January 08, 2013 at 04:08 PM
First let's define character; per dictionary.com it is the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing. That doesn't give a time frame. That means that everything old doesn't necessarily give a city character. I've never been but look at a city like Dubai. They have a lot of new building that give the city a modern new look. That is that cities character. NYC has a lot of older buidings mixed in with new skyscrapers. That is NYC's character. Keeping every old build just because it is old isn't character. There are pleny of old neighborhoods for ATL to embrace their "old character." Midtown just isn't one of them. Look at downtown and see that there are plenty of older buildings there. But because downtown isn't as favorable as Midtown no one cares. I hate looking at the skylines of cities like Baltimore and Cincinnati that keep these old looking downtowns. ATL's looks new and modern. ATL is a modern, progressive area and just because our streets aren't covered everywhere with a bunch of old buildings doesn't mean ATL doesn't have character. I'm glad we aren't following other cities and doing OUR thang! Those that don't like it go live in those old cities with their old character!

I had the pleasure of living at 109 7th Street back in the mid 80's. At that time two of the units were occupied by successful architects who truly admired the structure and it's details. The building was beautiful and had a character of it's own. It was an expensive building to maintain and the owners at that time were only able to keep it habitable. There were prostitutes on the street out front. They kept an eye on the building when we weren't around an problem saved us a few break-ins. It was a wonderful place to live with it's polished hardwood floors, crown mouldings and plentitude of windows. I hope that whoever commented that it was a "dump even then" has found his chrome and glass home in the burbs. It was a shame that no one could have saved this building,

Ensuring Compliance with Advertising and Promotional Requirements for Drugs and Medical Devices: 2-day In-person Seminar
Thursday, March 6, 2014 at 8:30 AM - Friday, March 7, 2014 at 4:30 PM (PST)
San Diego, CA
Who's Going
Event Details
Course Description:
Federal regulation of the advertising and promotion of pharmaceuticals and medical devices reflects an aggressive attitude on the part of the regulators that demands, in turn, that industry be keenly aware of the legal and regulatory duties, as well as key recent trends in enforcement activities by the Federal Government. This course will explore in detail what FDA requires of drug and device firms as well as recent current hot buttons in FDA enforcement activity for the advertising arena.
What's at stake if your advertising and promotional efforts violate the law? Colossal fines – the latest was $3 Billion; criminal liability, including even prison time; and huge disruption in operations while dealing with federal probes into illegal marketing.
Learning Objectives:
Key goals of the conference will include learning:
- The basics of FDA law and regulations governing advertising and promotion, as well as sister agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission, which shares jurisdiction with FDA on certain regulated products (e.g., OTC drugs).
- The distinctions between labels, labeling and advertising and how that impacts FDA's powers, and
- How to properly position Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) promotions
- The Dos and Don'ts of promoting products on the internet, including social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter
- The perils of off-label promotion, including criminal and civil actions that have led to multi-billion dollar settlements by regulated drug companies
- Whether the First Amendment provides any insulation for truthful statements regarding regulated products;
- When disseminating medical educational materials crosses the line into improper promotion; and
- Key considerations on how to implement appropriate procedures and controls in your company to minimize the potential for regulatory action by the FDA or the FTC relative to promotion and advertising.
Who will Benefit:
Senior executives, directors, managers and those who have responsibility for implementing advertising and promotional activities, as well as those that have key collateral roles in reviewing advertising for drug and device firms, including officials from these areas within regulated companies:
- Sales
- Marketing
- Medical Affairs
- Legal
- Regulatory
- Compliance

Hi Folks,
In an effort to create a document that will help consumers to be informed about how to know the differences between unhealthy and healthy therapy. I'm asking for your wisdom. Here are some of my questions that I'd love to have your input on:
What are the warning signs of unhealthy therapy?
How do you recommend choosing a therapist?
What should you expect from a healthy and effective therapist?
In answering these try to be unspecific about the model of therapy, these should be universals that hold trut regardless of which kind of therapy one is doing.
Thanks for your help,
Noah :)

I tell people who are trying to choose a therapist to begin by asking their friends for recommendations based on personal experience, and then to interview more than one prospective therapist to see how it feels to be with him or her. I expect a healthy and effective therapist to truly believe in psychotherapy as a vehicle of transformation and to be willing to talk about his or her own therapy, which should be extensive if not ongoing. He or she should also be in some kind of supervision or consultation group that meets regularly and challenges him or her to confront his or her own blind spots (a.k.a. countertransference issues).
For me is easier to define what is good therapist: By contrast you can think what does a bad therapist mean? right?
So let's see:
Being a good therapist means:
- Be able to listen carefully
- Be able to be empathetic
- Be loving and simple when approching to the people who is coming to ask for help
- Be able to use a simple lenguage
- Show ABSOLUT RESPECT when approching to the people who is coming to ask for help
- You will know inmediately when someone is a good therapist because SOMEONE ELSE will tell you his or her good experience with that therapist!!
- A good therapist is always willing to understand others point of view and be open to all the possibilities, practicing the humility before others sciences, related with this field.
I hope with this simple comment I can help other to choose a GOOD THERAPIST!!
I feel that a person interested in Good Therapy can choose a Therapist in the following ways:
1) The best possible recommendation comes through friends,
relatives, or your own doctor who may already know of a good therapist from their own personal experience. You will still need to see if that therapist is a good match with you.
2) Anyone else you may choose due to an Ad, The Good Therapy Site, or anywhere else, the best way in my opinion is to arrange a consultation session. Look at the person's credentials. Is the person licensed, and have good training? Once you can meet the Therapist, see how you feel.
a)Do you feel safe and comfortable?
b)Is it easy to talk with the therapist?
c)Does the therapist ask pertinent questions?
d) Do you feel that the therapist is genuine?
Once you feel initially comfortable with the therapist, it needs to continue. And remember, Therapy isn't always comfortable, but the trust in your therapist is important. If at any time. you feel uncomfortable with anything the therapist says or does, talk about it with him/her. Finally, don't forget that You are the one who hired the therapist. Therapy results don't always occur as fast as we would like. Give the therapist a chance to assist you. Remember, You have the choice to either continue or choose another therapist at any time.
Hopefully, these strategies will help you choose a good therapist by credentials and experience, but also, the right match for you.
Some signs of unhealthy therapy are when the therapist talks more than the client, when the therapist shares too much personal material (self disclosure) and other inappropriate boundaries such as going to lunch with the client. Therapy should not include trading sessions, bartering or being in business with the client.
Sometimes the therapist may appear not to be listening or may seem to be thinking about something else (not present). I think it is unhealthy if a therapist is too confrontive or gives too much advice or tells the client what to do.
Of course these are just a few warning signs.
I would say the warning signs of an unhealthy therapy is a therapy in which a client has become therapy-dependent or therapist-dependent instead of learning techniques and remedies that would support self-support in his/her day-to-day life.
I would agree with all the previous responses to this post also especially where a therapist is "absent". I lean very much towards Zen which involves mindfulness and in a therapy session, everything a client says needs to be focused on and taken seriously.
I think that it's important for someone willing to start taking therapy to check:
- the references about that therapist from other clients, if possible (if he/she was guided there by a friend who was also a client);
- if the therapist has some training and is certified in psychotherapy, in a well known therapeutical school (I guess a list of these orientations in provided also by this site), and he/she is not working only in his/her way;
- if the therapist is working under supervision or has a constant intervision group;
- if the therapist had/has his/her own personal development work with another psychotherpist and has this opening towards going again into own therapy if something shows up in time;
- if the therapist shows from the beggining empathy, good listening skills (not giving advices, but answering the client's needs), good acceptance and respect for the client, and is able to present to the client the way he/she works.
Above all these, I think every client feels what kind of therapist meets his/her needs. Keeping the inner permission to discuss the process first and then to leave therapy if this shows not to be the needed one, it's the greatest protection a client can provide to himself/herself.
The best sign of a good therapist is when the client and therapist both agree there is a good fit/ connection. After an initial session, a client feeling as though they were heard and have some sense of a plan of action,is in a good situation to begin therapy .
Unhealthy therapy involves the therapist talking more about themselves/ giving personal examples than the client speaks. Unhealthy therapy has therapists who fall asleep ( I have heard of this more than once), who take personal phone calls during a session, who ask for the clients expertise on a subject. The list can go on.
I strongly believe in staying away from bartering any services or gifts (tickets to an event etc). I believe that once a client always a client. The therapeutic relationship can be intense and intimate. The therapist must always maintain the boundary of the helping professional not the friend. Therapists are people too. We meet clients with whom we have a great deal in common. But once the therapist client relationship has begun, it cannot transition into a friendship.
You should have the sense that the therapist "gets" who you are and what difficulties you are experiencing.
The good therapist should be able to offer you hope that your difficulty is able to be addressed and solved — perhaps not immediately but with time and attention.
A good therapist should be attentive and able to listen well, offer support and validation while also able to be honest with you about your challenges and blind spots.
He or she should be informed about community resources and able to offer you additional information (books, web sites, other sources within the community) that may be helpful.
If your problem is outside of the scope of the therapist's practice, he or she should be able to refer you to a competant therapist who should be able to help you.
I have heard many stories from clients who were unaware that their therapy was being compromised because of the therapist's poor boundaries. Many clients come to therapy to learn how to set appropriate boundaries, so it is important that the therapist can model this.
A therapist can be warm, friendly and work out of their home, but still respect boundaries.
Warning signs might be if the therapist is initiating hugs or inappropriate touching, frequently giving advice, calling the client, being "friends" with the client, habitually allowing sessions or phone contacts to extend beyond the agreed time, talking about themselves, getting help from the client. Some of the above behaviors feel good. Everyone wants to feel liked and be helpful, but this cam inhibit progress and undermine the therapy. It also may be a warning sign that the therapist has work to do.
Clients should trust their instincts, and if the therapist is doing or saying something that feels "off." it should be addressed.
Great suggestions about the warning signs of unhealthy therapy and how to choose a counselor or therapist. Please keep the ideas flowing. We will synthesize most of these into the formulation we've been working on. Thanks, Noah :)
Warning Signs & Finding a Good Enough therapist:
Relevant to both of these topics I suggest a prospective client contact the credentialling body for the therapist's profession in that state. For example in WA the credentialling body is the State Health Dept. Ask that office if the person you're considering is licensed or certified in the state, is their license/certification in good standing and current? Do they have a record of complaints against the therapist? If so what are the complaints and have they been satisfactorily resolved?
I encourage the prospective client call the therapist and do a phone interview. Does the therapist sound like he/she is genuinely interested in the caller? Has the therapist done his/her own therapy? Does the therapist have experience working with clients with similiar issues to those of the caller? Another interesting question, "How will I know when it's time for me to leave, that I've finsihed this therapy?"
Warning signs: Does the therapist scehdule apointments and/or contact outside of normal business hours? Does the therpist mix social or other business activities with the client in therapy? Does the therapist talk about others that are not relevant to the therapy eg, mutual social contacts, politics, friends or colleagues of yours that you haven't introduced as a significant part of the therapy matter? Does the therapist make special financial arrangements for you, different than are made for other clients? Does the therapist suggest or imply that you shouldn't talk about your therapy with others, i.e. keep it "secret" or "private". Does the therapist seem personally offended if you question them, don't comply with their suggestions or don't marvel at their wisdom, humor or intellect? Does the therapist "feel" authentic to you?
Of course each of these could be dabated and in different cases different things are reasonable or within bounds and in others not. A good dose of common sense is likely to be a valued asset in the process of both selecting a therapist and noting warning signs.
A hair dresser, bartender or grandma can be warm, interested in you and compassionate, and nice to you. In a therapist you want these features sometimes. Also you will benefit if the person is competent, helps you learn, helps you heal and has the capacity and skill to notice and facillitate dealing with your defenses.
re how do you know if a therapist can help you. accreditation and registration is a very hot issue here in the u.k. at the moment, since the government seems obsessed with standardization.they have even diluted the doctor patient relationship to such a level that doctors are not free to make thier own drug choice to give people, we have standarardized guidelines, which are often a scandel. Anyway, since i work in the national health service some of the time, where counselling is very limited i make a lot of secondary referrals to therapists i know. referral is a real art. what criteria do to use.?apart from the obvious baseline of accreditation and training. its the intangeable…since i know the people i refer to, its something like the aa model, does this person have qualities i value and respect.i could not put my finger on it, but its probably trust. do i feel this preson knows themselves, has some inner peace and has the psychic space to help. i welcome other referres comments.
RE: Warning signs of unhealthy therapy, I believe that in its essence, the problem is the therapist meeting their own needs over that of the client. This can exhibit itself in the form of unnecessary therapy (type and/or length), focusing on the financial gain vs. appropriate compensation, boundary concerns around the physical (initiating hugging, etc. too often or with fragile clients not seeking a hug, etc.), as other therapists above have mentioned: too much personal sharing, also accepting inappropriate gifts (e.g. vacation homes, etc.) and more. Thankfully, I see where most of the colleagues I know are quite vigilant about these possible problems and do well in steering clear of these while practicing "good therapy."
For myself if I were a person seeking help with an emotionally difficult issue, I would consider the following signs of an unhealthy therapist:
1. s/he is inflexible
2. s/he doesn't listen to my feelings
3. s/he is disrespectful of my perspectives
4. s/he slams other therapists
5. s/he ridicules other healing practices
6. s/he can be talked into doing what I want
7. s/he diagnoses rather than helps or coaches
8. s/he shows her irritation with my progress
9. s/he tries to coerce me into outside activities
10. s/he tries to sell me her products
11. s/he hassels me when I cancel or quit
12. s/he isn't available for emergencies or questions
13. s/he doesn't remember my name or issues from one session to the next
I would also consider the following to be traits of unhealthy processes during therapy:
1. focus on thoughts to the exclusion of feelings
2. denial of the importance of spirituality
3. sessions that are unsatisfyingly short
4. lack of therapeutic homework
5. being asked to do something beyond my boundaries
6. being allowed to run up a bill
7. lack of input to a treatment plan
8. no discussion of therapy goals
9. no discussion of how to know when therapy can be completed
10. constant focus on what's wrong instead of also working on what's strong and could be stronger

Therapists who talk too much.
Talking should be at least 90% patient talking if not more, 8% therapist asking questions, 2% therapists making observations.
Therapists who talk too much damage client/therapist trust. It seems that they are talking because they are uncomfortable and need so desperately to help the patient that the therapy focuses on their "solutions" rather than the patient's issues. This is great to validate themselves as knowledgeable therapists but doesn't really help as much as listening and asking questions like Why, why did you do that, why do you think they did that, what do you want to do now, etc.
Therapists who ask questions with the insinuation that there is a "correct" answer they are looking for is also is bad.
I'm just wondering why a therapist would only focus on the negative? I just left a therapist who never even talked about my strengths and only pointed out all my dysfunctions. I wound up feeling worse about myself than ever.
My therapist is a lovely woman except she has on numerous occasions started to cry during my sessions (not sobbing! but tears). She is very professional in every other sense although this to me is inappropriate and very unprofessional obviously leaving me feeling very uncomfortable! Would be interested to know if this has happened to anyone else? I have stopped my therapy with her, it got too much.
"I'm just wondering why a therapist would only focus on the negative? I just left a therapist who never even talked about my strengths and only pointed out all my dysfunctions. I wound up feeling worse about myself than ever."
Sadly, this has been my experience too, and finally, why i decided to leave a therapist who was good in many ways.
The problem is that a client who is new to therapy may be in a difficult position to make judgments about the suitability of a therapist as the new client may be feeling desperate, lacking in confidence, and confused. Also, unless the client has lots of access to money, there may be compromises along the way.
The signs were there from the start. I asked how was this supposed to work. He said 'just talk about anything'. Occasionally he'd let slip that 'other women say that' or the classic 'you care too much'. I sometimes felt puzzled when he dismissed my distress as 'normal' without ANY explanation. If I wrote something or described dreams they were met with silence. After two years I was scarily aware that had to fill him in on my whole life at the start of each session. His reactions to distress were a slow 'YESSS' and 'there is a lot of emotion there'…(YOU THINK!)No plan, no real continuity except that which I brought with me. The only comments were Hallmark card cliches. The general coldness and distance, I mistook for professionalism. I sometimes sensed that he didn't like people/women. After each visit I felt I had done the work of two people. As my visits became infrequent due to financial difficulties, this reason was thrown back at me when in a state of deep distress I asked for some sort of diagnosis that would explain my incredible confusion/daily depression. He refused to do that saying any name could be made label one's state of mind.
Now with my decision to quit I am shocked to feel a weight off my shoulders. Having briefly seen another therapist, I wonder how human or inexperienced this person was. I am not seeing anyone at the moment but thankfully my faith in therapy has not been destroyed. There's sticking to 'rules' and being a robot in an ivory tower.
I am currently in therapy with a clinician who insists I see her three times a week. When financial difficulties made this unfeasible she pushed me to borrow money, suggested ways I could pay back the loan, and suggested that my discomfort with asking my parents for money to pay her was an issue we needed to discuss. When I tried to leave therapy she called a psychiatrist who I was supposed to see for the first time and canceled my appointment, saying that I couldn't see this person without being in therapy with her. When I reminded her that I had not signed a release for her to discuss me with the psychiatrist she said she had been "sloppy", but had acted in my best interest since this person would have told me I couldn't be her patient anyway. Now I'm trying to end the relationship but I'm a bit frightened of this person. She calls me and demands I come in when I try to cancel an appointment. I'm afraid that she will call my university of something if I leave and tell them I am "mentally unstable" since she obviously has no issue with sharing my private information….
I saw a therapist this morning and all I can say is I should have done more research on her. Firstly she openly said she was tired, and then used the F word. Very calming voice yet not all there. Please be very careful to who you open up to, it's so easy to trust a therapist as they are perceived to be ones to help you however little comments can leave a scar.
Now in Response to Vikki January 22nd, 2011 at 2:52 PM
Report her ASAP. She is not right in the head, telling you to borrow money. REPORT HER NOW
I really hate it when the marriage counselor says in front of my husband "you jump around A LOT" and makes a face. (I feel she was diagnosing me.) I also did not like her saying "You would really enjoy being on anti-depressants." Does anyone enjoy being on that stuff? ALSO, at our first session, after hearing our stories she said "I'm not a miracle worker." WOW! That was SO negative. We will most likely end up divorced but she really hurt us more than helped us. Absolutely useless counselor on so many levels.
My partner has been seeing the same psychotherapist for 6 years to little improvement and I am very concerned about the following behavior as he is rapidly deteriorating in condition I.e mood swings and hysteria.
- she tried to get him to pay her while away on holiday, despite 6 weeks notice of that holiday, without ever explaining that in terms and conditions, and convincing him at his
memory was poor. This is despite there being no documentation of billing terms.
- she then convinced him that he needed therapy on this holiday, despite not recommending it on any other holiday, even when severly distressed or anxious.
- she called him "a deceitful liar" when he sought a second opinion and has refused to apologize. He is convinced by her that this was an acceptable response that he deserves.
- he broke down in panic at the fear of telling her he had sought a second opinion
- she insists that a maternal relationship with her will help resolve his mother issues, while he is becoming increasingly disturbed
I am very worried for his mental health- is this an appropriate relationship? Can I report her?
- she convinced him to see her three times a week for a year with no treatment plan or goals
- she says he is not to discuss his therapy with me, his partner
My husband and I went to out first marriage counseling session and our intention is to work through some issues which happened prior to our marriage. So that we may eventually resolve to a stronger love connection and communication system. During the entire session the counselor criticized everything about me, from my being a stay at home wife to me being boring. She stated I was the entire problem. When ever I tried to tell her how I felt about some thing my husband bought into our marriage she dismisses those things before I get a word out and says the first thing we need to do on the next visit is figure out if we want to be together. My husband and I didn't go in the office to split up or consider it for that matter. We just want some guidance on getting through a couple of rocky issues. I felt completely helpless and abused emotionally in that Drs. office. I felt worse leaving the office than before I went in. I was happy prior to this.

Scarlett Johansson Gets A New Tattoo In Paris
Posted on Wed Nov 7, 2012 10:00 AM PDT
Fuzi Uvtpk
ScarJo just got some fresh ink!
Scarlett Johansson opted for some new body art last week in Paris, commissioning French tattoo artist Fuzi Uvtpk to etch a horseshoe with the words "Lucky You" on her ribcage.
The Hitchcock actress recently attended an exhibition of the artist's work at Le Salon and decided to add to her collection, which includes a rosary on her wrist, a sea design on her arm, and two intertwined circles on her ankle.
Although she prefers the meaning behind her tattoos remain "private," she allowed Uvtpk to photograph his masterpiece and show it off on his website.
We're bet she's glad she never got an "I love Ryan Reynolds" tat!
