Updated: Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post has broken the story. A trade involving the Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves has finally been completed.
It is a done deal in principle, with minor details to be worked out following a conference call with NBA offices tomorrow. Details are known, but minor parameters such as draft pick protections could be subject to change by then.
The Nuggets have traded Melo, Chauncey, Shelden Williams, Renaldo Balkman, and Anthony Carter to New York. They will receive Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, and Timofey Mozgoz in exchange plus draft picks. Of the included picks are New Yorks 2014 first rounder, which pending lottery protections could go to Houston in multiple scenarios, which means this pick could turn into the "first available" number one pick that New York can send out if not conveyed to Houston by 2014. Via New York, Denver also receives second round picks in 2012 and 2013 from the Golden State Warriors. The Nuggets also receive $3 million in cash considerations from the Knicks.
As part of the trade, the Knicks and Timberwolves exchange Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph for Corey Brewer. Denver facilitates the transfer of Eddy Curry to Minnesota, allowing the Nuggets to shed some $17.7 million in salary. This is more than enough to bring them below the luxury tax threshold immediately.
The deal is done. Of note is the murky status of the 2014 first rounder Denver receives from New York, the details and protections of which will not be known until the trade is approved by league officials. Anthony Carter is also slated to be traded to the Knicks despite them having two point guards ahead of him – Chauncey Billups and Toney Douglas. Anthony Carter surrenders his bird rights due to being on a minimum one year salary and he can exercise veto power on any trade, similiar to Matt Geiger and Devean George in the past. If Carter indeed invokes his power to block a trade out of Denver, the deal will still be completed with minor changes. It's likely Melvin Ely would be exchanged instead. For now, expect AC to go to New York.
It's an incredibly sad ending to the second Chauncey Billups era in Denver. Thank you so much for your hard work, dedication, and loyalty Chauncey.
Reaction, analysis and more to come from your RMC staff as the dust settles. Share your thoughts and memories here.
Just as the Jazz's methodical attack showed us the bad habits and weaknesses in this team's style, you can always count on the discombobulated T-Wolves to bring out the better side of these Nuggets. After losing a gritty battle of wills with Utah, the Nuggets bounce back by getting out of their one-on-one ways long enough to survive their customary defensive lapses.
No offense to the Wolves, but this should have been a routine win Denver needed to have. Yes, Denver played late last night against an angry Utah team they met at just the wrong time – but Minnesota also played last night in Toronto where Michael Beasley left with a minor injury. You had to think this could get ugly between two tired teams who both play questionable defense. Still all Denver needed to do was show up with the effort they showed last night as they just have the more capable team top to bottom.
Carmelo Anthony is a very talented player, but no longer has any desire or passion to put on a Nuggets jersey. While both sides have "made the best" of a challenging situation, the long and trivial season the Nuggets are trudging through keeps reminding us they cannot run from their fate much longer. In yet another example of the common theme we've seen in games this season – a disinterested team led by Melo begrudgingly go through the motions, squandering their early advantage against Philly en route to a routine, but still frustrating road defeat.
I'll have to admit, I've missed the last three games, and thanks to new contributor GoldenNugget I've discovered they've been able to bring their balanced offensive attack on the road to the tune of some rare wins. We all know the Nuggets haven't won with defense in quite a while, but with such a poor road record they need to be what they are and take wins however they come away from home. Unfortunately, what they are is incredibly inconsistent and it showed after this game opened up like a typical road contest this season. When both teams are content to take quick shots, Denver's offense can carry them all the way through when the ball is moving and finding open shooters. Chauncey Billups provided the early spark in this one, making his first three shots from deep and kicking out to others for open shots off his dribble penetration. He vaulted Denver to an early nine point lead and it seemed the Nuggets merely needed to take care of the ball while once again the offense could settle in and do all of the work on this one.
Recap by GoldenNugget
Watching the Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons go at it tonight, seemed eerily similar to the match we saw Tuesday against the Washington Wizards. Both teams had many highlight plays, pushed the pace and couldn't figure out how to get a stop if it's life depended on it. Yet once again, the Nuggets came out victorious, which is usually the case when this style of ball is implemented.
Two days ago, the Miami Heat looked unbeatable as they tore through the schedule with ease, winning 19 of 20 games including 13 in a row on the road. Meanwhile, the Nuggets shaky season was starting to come off the rails. After a 3 game losing streak, Josh Kroenke and Masai Ujiri seemed all but certain to blow the lifeless roster up, punching fans in the gut by trading their 2 best players away for future assets and savings. Last night the Miami Heat were the vulnerable ones and the Nuggets were the team doing the punching.
I said in the preview yesterday that the Nuggets seemed to be catching the Heat at their weakest, off a west coast back to back in which their best player was injured. Lebron didn't play last night and the Heat didn't have the energy or depth to overcome it. For the second straight game, the Nuggets execute a balanced offensive attack and ride a scoring explosion from the bench to an easy blowout win.
I like to try to diagnose tactics and strategies that lead to wins and losses. I watched the Denver Nuggets' 107-94 victory in Houston against the Rockets twice and it sure seemed like more of a pickup game than an organized professional basketball contest.
(I know, I know, the title is cheesy and overused but why go creative and really long when you can go short and simple?) The Nuggets dreams of an undefeated season were ended in the Bayou last night as they fell 101-95 to the New Orleans Hornets. Despite a double-double performance from Carmelo Anthony (24 points and 10 boards) and solid outings from Chauncey (20 pts and 5 dimes) and the surprisingly effective Sheldon Williams (8 pts and 13 rebounds, leading the team in the latter category in back-to-back games), Denver couldn't complete their second-half comeback. After being down by as much as 14 late in the second quarter, Denver took the lead at one point in the third and then jumped out to a six-point lead with 8 minutes to go in the ballgame. Then Chris Paul took over, dropping 10 points and 3 dimes in the last 10 minutes, and David West hit a couple tough fade-away jumpers over Al Harrington to seal the win.
The Nuggets jumped out to a great start early, going up 8-0 and looking good on D, forcing contested jumpers from the Hornets. Then Sheldon and Nene let Okafor have his way in the middle on both sides of the ball, and Emeka had some easy layups and forced contested shots in the paint. Nene knocked down a couple of 18-footers (showing some extended range that this Nuggets fan didn't know he had) to help the bigs' cause, but then the pick-and roll defense on Paul (and later Jerryd Bayless and Willie Green) started to fall apart. NOLA's guards were getting into the paint WAY too easy, leading to some easy buckets (Green's baseline slam and J-Bay's and-1 layup on JR) and kick-outs for threes (Marcus Thornton hit back-to-back threes to stretch the Hornets' lead to 14).
On the positive side Ty Lawson made Chris Paul look like Anthony Carter (which isn't easy to do), burning him to the basket a few times and doing a respectable job distributing the rock. And despite his struggles on the defensive end, Al Harrington looks good off the bench, giving the 2nd unit some semblance of offense when JR struggles to find his shot.
In the second half Melo took over, hitting his patented mid-range jumpers and getting to the basket a few times as well. And as one RMC writer predicted in his season preview ( I won't be doing too much self-promotion, I promise) Aaron Afflalo continues to break out of his shell, hitting some shots when his teammates can't find the range; if he can prove to/remain a viable threat on offense, it will make this team much more dangerous late in games and allow George Karl to keep him in for defense while not losing anything on the offensive end. And while all you JR Swish fans may grimace when I say this, it's a good thing for this team when Afflalo is in the game late and getting starters minutes over JR, because I'm 99% sure he will not be a Nugget next year.
Next up for the Nuggets is the Houston Rockets, who will welcome Denver to the Toyota Center for their home opener tonight at 6:30 MST. Houston is coming off back-to-back road losses to open the season in two very winnable games against the Lakers and Warriors. Denver needs to play better D against Luis Scola then they did against D-West, because as good as West's mid-range game is, Scola is a much better back-to-the-basket player, can hit the hook shot with either hand, and is a better passer (which means watch out for the kickout to Kevin Martin or Aaron Brooks). Houston has some absolute snipers on the perimeter (the aforementioned K-Mart and Brooks), and even if one is cold the other could easily drop 30+.
They signed Erick Dampier yesterday to join Yao and Brad Miller at center, so Nene and Sheldon will have to step it up even more with Rick Adelman being able to rotate those guys at will to keep his bigs fresh. If Denver can control the penetrate and kick better than they did last night, keep their bigs out of foul trouble (so Melvin Ely isn't matched up with Scola) and get some offensive production from their bench (I'm talking to you JR…and Al needs 15+ too) they have a great chance of coming back home 1-1 on their mini-roadtrip before they welcome Dallas to "The Can" on Wednesday night.
The Denver Nuggets toiled in relative obscurity this preseason. Unless you attended one of the two home games or had NBATV to check out the lone televised contest with the Los Angeles Lakers you did not see a second of Nuggets basketball.
One man saw it all and he is Jason Kosmicki the radio voice of the Nuggets. Koz was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions for us and inform Nuggets fans of what they might have missed leading up to the season.
The Denver Nuggets absolutely dismantled division rival and playoff foil Utah in the opening game of the 2010-11 season. There were several good things to take out of the game, but the number one aspect of the beat down for Nuggets fans to be most excited about is the way the Nuggets defended.
Ok Nuggets fans, the opening tip is less than 24 hours away and number 15 is still in a Nuggets uniform. Whether or not he stays in powder blue and gold for the entire season is a debate for another day; for now lets look at what to expect from each player this season.
When it comes to Melo, Nuggets fans can expect more of the same from his past seven years in the NBA. Look for a stat line of 27 points, 6.5 boards and over three dimes a game (basically you're your typical Melo averages).
I'm also going to say Chauncey will be his reliable self this year, regardless of what happens to Melo or the rest of this team. The guy has gotten better over 30 (which is rare in itself, but for a point guard, that's unheard of) and dropped a career-best average 19.5 PPG in 09'. Look for Billups' scoring to drop to the 16-17 range but I think his assists will jump back into the 8-9 range (his 5.6 APG last year was his lowest since the 04-05 season). The guy is a model of consistency, and from one Buff to another, here's hoping "Mr. Big Shot" regains that mantle with some big makes this season.
But to be perfectly honest, those are the only two Nuggets whose performances you can "pencil in". The other 12 players on the roster and their contributions range from semi-reliable to complete question marks. What will these guys add to the team-lets start with the "no-names".
The "No-Names"
Gary Forbes, F, 6-7, 1st year
A pretty decent pre-season culminated with a 25-point explosion against Phoenix in the Nugs last exhibition game. He'd normally start the year on the IR (buried on the bench) but will definitely see some minutes in the first part of the season. Regardless of his tenure as a Nugget it was nice to see the former UMass star and walk-on make the team with his efficient scoring off the bench.
Melvin Ely, F-C, 6-10, 8th year
The former New Orleans Hornet and most recently Sacramento King also made the team without a guaranteed contract, and he will also see some playing time with the injuries to Birdman and K-Mart (he may even start if Nene's knee starts to bother him again). The key thing for Ely will be rebounding; he doesn't do it very well. His best overall season was back in 2006 with Charlotte when he averaged 9.8 points and 4.8 boards a game. With not a lot of frontcourt depth (due to injury) and with Al Harrington going to be outside to stretch the defense, Ely, Sheldon Williams and Nene are going to be counted on to carry the rebounding load. If he can grab 5+ boards a game and play decent defense on other team's bigs, he'll have done his job.
Renaldo Balkman, F, 6-8, 5th year
I've never been a big Renaldo Balkman fan, and apparently George Karl's feelings for him have waned over the past 2+ years. After being a key part of the rotation in 2009 (even getting 10 starts that year) he played in only 13 games a year ago. He, like Forbes, will play due to injury, but he'd be my bet to move to the IR when the Bird and K-Mart come back.
The Question Marks
Shelden Williams, PF-C, 6-9, 5th year
Who wouda thought that Shelden Williams would be the starting power forward for the Nuggets a year ago (heck, who woulda thought that a month ago?). But thanks to George Karl's insistence that Big Al (can I call him that or is that reserved for Al Jefferson?) comes off the bench, we will indeed see Mr. Williams on the first unit against the Jazz on Wednesday. Now Shelden has put up some impressive stat lines this pre-season (27 and 8 vs Phoenix, 14 and 6 vs the Clippers), but then again, this is Shelden Williams, the same guy who was a HUGE bust as the fifth overall pick by the Hawks in 06'. So I won't rush to a judgment and say his above-average play is an aberration, but I'm also not going to say it's a sign of things to come. If he can post 9 points and 6+ boards a game as a starter, I'm not sure you can ask for much more.
Kenyon Martin, PF, 6-9, 11th year
Before his injury troubles a year ago, K-Mart was posting some pretty disgusting numbers for the Nugs. In the months of January and February, Martin posted consecutive monthly averages of over 12.5 points and 11 rebounds. Over that stretch, the Nuggets went 19-8 and were poised for a top 3 record in the Western Conference. After he got hurt, the Nuggets were not the same. Now with Al Harrington in town to soak up some significant minutes and his $16 million contract coming off the books, K-Mart is highly expendable. When the Nuggets refused to talk contract-extension, K-Mart showed signs of discontent, and if that continues over the course of the season, the "dark side" of K-Mart, combined with JR's proclivity to blow up and the Melo situation, it could spell disaster for Denver. Here's hoping K-Mart to a speedy recovery and that he accepts a lesser role (and lesser minutes) for the sake of team chemistry…and sanity.
Nene, C, 6-11, 9th year
I was going to put Nene in the next category, but I (and the rest of Nuggets nation) am holding out hope that he finally breaks out and enters that next tier of NBA centers (ie Chris Kaman, Brook Lopez). I'm talking 18+ points and 10+ rebounds; it's possible, Nene definitely has the talent to do it, the question is will he get the touches and opportunity to come through? With Harrington brought in and JR to soak up plenty of shots, it will be interesting to see if they'll be enough touches to go around. But mark my words; the Nuggets success this season will hinge largely on if Nene can make that step forward. If not, it may be time to explore other options down low.
Same Old, Same Old
Anthony Carter, PG, 6-2, 12th year
Um, not much to say here; if AC is still seeing decent minutes in this rotation, something's wrong. It's Mr. Lawson's turn as the backup point and AC should be reduced to a garbage-time role. He'll be asked to provide leadership to the sophomore and will probably see the court in a defensive situation at the end of halves…but that should be it.
Chris Andersen, C, 6-10, 9th year
The Birdman is out until December, which means Nuggets fans at the Can (Pepsi Center, that's pretty clever right?) won't get to see Andersen swat shots and flap those wing-like arms after dunks for a while. The Nugs will miss his energy, shot-blocking ability and paint intimidation (especially to driving guards) while he's out, but when he comes back expect typical Birdman numbers- 7-8 PPG, 6-7 RPG, 2-3 BPG.
JR Smith, SG, 6-6, 7th year
This may be the last year we'll see JR Swish in a Nugets uni, so I hope he makes it a memorable one. Is a mid-season trade in the cards if Denver wants another quality big man…perhaps. But if he can up his field goal (41%) and three-point (34%, down from 40% in 09') percentage and team with Lawson, Harrington and eventually Bird to form a solid second-unit, Nuggets fans should be happy. He'll stay under 20 PPG, but 17-19 a game isn't out of reach.
Look Out, Here They Come
Aaron Afflalo, SG, 6-5, 4th year
The first of my three Nuggets to watch out for this year is Aaron, who I think will exceed 10 PPG for the first time in his career and shoot even better from beyond the arc (43% last season). He performed his role as the perimeter defensive stopper and outside shooter very well last year, and as long as gets a little more aggressive on offense while keeping up his intensity on defense, he'll be a player to look out for.
Ty Lawson, PG, 5-11, 2nd year
How good could this guy be? The sky's the limit for Ty, who will see his minutes increase as Karl will try to preserve Chauncey's 34-year old legs. Expect Ty's point (8.3) and assist (3.1) totals to increase, and if the Nuggets continue to push the pace when he's in the game, both Lawson and his teammates will benefit.
Al Harrington, F, 6-9, 13th year
Yeah I know, how can a guy who just turned 30 and is entering his 13th NBA season (no that's not a misprint) have a breakout season? Because he's entering the perfect situation with a style of play and surrounding cast that perfectly suits his game. In the offseason Nuggets fans wanted a defensive stopper as the team's "big" free-agent acquisition; guys like Udonis Haslem, Jeff Foster and Jermaine O'Neal were tossed around as ideas, guys whose scoring isn't considered their strong suit. But here's a guy who's played for crappy teams in Indiana, Golden State and New York for most of his career and has never had a facilitator to get him the ball (he's always had to create his own shot). He hasn't played for a contender in years, and if he's on the floor with Melo, Chauncey, JR or Nene (or any combination of those guys) the defense will focusing their attention elsewhere. He can be a stretch four (PF) to clear room in the paint with his three-point shooting or an oversized three (SF) that can take his man to the rim. I foresee a BIG season for Big Al in the Big D (that's a lot of bigs) and if Denver's frontcourt has its struggles, it won't be because of him.
Whether you agree with me or not on the season outlook for Denver's roster, I hope we can at least all agree that Chauncey and Melo are a pretty formidable one-two punch and despite what ESPN's experts may say, this squad has a chance to compete for a conference championship. They just need to have some things go their way and develop a tight enough chemistry (one like the Lakers or Thunder have) to go with the talent on the roster. Oh, and not trading Carmelo would help too.
Before we get to the meat and potatoes that is the Denver Nuggets first preseason game I want to dish out a couple of hors d'oeuvres.
First of all, the 2010-11 Basketball Prospectus has been published. Once again I had the honor of playing a small role, OK, a very small role, in the chapter on the Nuggets. This is an incredible publication and if you are a fan of basketball, advanced stats, or would like to understand advanced stats a little better, you will love this book. You can order it in PDF format, or in old school paperback. I recommend buying both.
Secondly, ESPN.com is running a Daily Dime featuring every division and Tuesday, October 12 is the Northwest Division's turn. I would love for you guys to join me from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM Mountain time, because a chat without questions from readers is like a bris without a scalpel. I will toss up a link when I have one and I look forward to chatting with you all. Update: The Northwest Division Daily Dime Live page has been posted. Gird your loins for a great day of chatting.
Those were tasty, now on to the main course.
The Denver Nuggets kicked off the 2010-11 preseason in style by thrashing the Portland Trail Blazers 109-99. The real news was that it was basically business as usual at the Pepsi Center.
Welcome to my first ever comment bag (and from what I can tell almost the first ever comment bag period as someone might have beat me to it by a matter of hours). You have read mailbags before, but there has been so much good discussion about recent events that I wanted to make sure everyone saw some of them, and of course I would like to add my highly insightful thoughts as well. All grammatical errors are the responsibility of the author although I did clean a couple of them up. Lucky for you all I hated English class too.
drewjay: Jeremy, I would love to read how your opinion on the LeBron decision, although you might be sick of hearing about it.
According to @NBAonESPN the Denver Nuggets have agreed to terms with Shelden Williams and resigned Anthony Carter. I have not seen any info on the contracts yet. We know Carter agreed to his typical one year veterans minimum deal. Williams could have been signed with either a minimum contract or the biannual veterans exception which would be a two year deal starting anywhere up to $2.18 million.
Williams was a player I thought Denver should have looked into last season as he is a good defender and rebounder who could be had for cheap. His signing is good news from a defensive standpoint. However, he is a little undersized and while he adds some girth he does not have the length to handle the Lakers' twin towers. Plus, when everyone is healthy he will be the fifth big and is not likely to see significant minutes. As with Harrington we will take a look at what Williams brings to the table in the coming days.
The Nuggets should just sign Carter to a six year veterans minimum deal because we know as long as he can run he will be a Nugget. With the growth of Lawson Carter should only see the court when either Chauncey or Ty are injured. However, as we saw last season his play suffers when asked to play too many minutes too many nights in a row.

A man in Rutherford County is facing charges after allegedly driving a stolen car while following another driver.
Smyrna police said a woman was leaving the Walmart Parking lot on Enon Springs Road when she noticed a black Ford Mustang following very close to her vehicle.
The woman called police, who ran the tags and discovered the car was stolen.
When police approached the Mustang, which was still following the woman, the driver pulled away.
Officers said a high-speed chase ensued with the Mustang's driver, later identified as 26-year-old Danny Collier.
The Mustang eventually wrecked on Battle Ground Road in Murfreesboro.
Collier was taken into custody. Charges against him are pending.

I used to have respect for John Cena man. Now, I just get a call from Liz Cena, telling me the score brother. Cena, a hero to so many children, was not faithful to his wonderful wife man. He was banging anything that moves.
Cena served Liz with divorce papers in May and now all the dirty laundry is being aired brother and it isn't pretty. Liz is challenging the prenuptial agreement and with cause. Her lover boy was out there pinning down women left and right. If Andre the Giant were alive today, he probably would have shoved that thumb of his right up Cena's backside. He liked to do that. That's why I refused to wrestle him brother.
Once the dust settles, I will get more details from Liz and I want her to know that the masked man is in her corner. John, I'm VERY disappointed in you man. There are plenty of my little masked maniacs that look up to you. For shame!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – The Big East and other conferences are uncertain of their future.
U of L is committed to the Big East but soon will only see seven schools participating in the conference. Members of the Big East would like to see that number increase to 10 or more.
In the meantime, the conference will continue to recruit new schools. It appears that East Carolina, Navy and Air Force will come aboard but nothing is official yet.

The PSA test is a simple test that measures a specific antigen in the blood that is linked to prostate cancer, but new evidence from Harvard points to how valuable that test really is. Researchers there found that men who had a yearly PSA blood test were nearly three times less likely to die from prostate cancer than those who did not have the annual screenings. Prostate cancer is easily cured, when it is diagnosed early.
Researchers in Germany warn against waiting until the golden years to start thinking about osteoporosis. The International Osteoporosis Foundation has issued a report that highlights exercise as one of the main ways to reduce your risk of getting the disease. Scientists say bone matter needs regular stimulation from physical activity or it will deteriorate. An estimated 10-million Americans suffer from osteoporosis. Study led by researchers at the International Osteoporosis Foundation and presented in Berlin as part of World Osteoporosis Day
Researchers who sounded the alarm about heart risks linked to the arthritis drug Vioxx are raising a red flag now about an experimental drug for type two diabetes. Cardiologists at the Cleveland Clinic say their research shows the drug Pargluva doubles the risk of heart attack, stroke and death. In September, an FDA panel voted to approve Pargluva for type two diabetes. Now, after reviewing five clinical trials involving nearly four thousand people, the Cleveland Clinic is suggesting the drug's risks may outweigh its potential benefits, and the FDA is asking for more research. The review is published in a special online release of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Hebi Yin
Ph.D., Postdioc
Dr. Yin joined the Materials Processing & Manufacturing Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as a Post-doc researcher in September 2010. Currently he is focusing on the solidification microstructure evolution of cast iron, specializing on ductile cast iron. Ductile iron is much easier to cast than steel but with similar properties, and it will become a highly engineered material. Prediction of microstructure and mechanical properties will be a strong interest. Dr. Hebi Yin received his Ph.D. and B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering at Mississippi State University (MSU) and Materials Science and Engineering at Dalian University of Technology (DUT), China. He studied the heat transfer, fluid flow, and dendrite growth during Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process at MSU and thermal-mechanical behavior of solidified shell of continuous casting at DUT.
Research Interests:
Dr. Hebi Yin's research interests include, but not limited to, the multi-scale solidification microstructure evolution modeling (coupled finite element or lattice Boltzmann method with cellular automata technique); multi-physics modeling (coupled thermal-mechanical fields); transport phenomena (heat and solute) by diffusion and convection with finite element and Lattice Boltzmann methods; Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process; continuous casting; cast iron; and thermodynamics.

So it happened. Jon & Kate Gosselin announced their separation on tonight's show. Nothing will EVER be the same.
Jon is moving out and so on and so forth.
So we gotta ask...
"It's for the kids, the kids, the kids, the kids. Endless proclamations about everything is for the kids. Unfortunately neither Jon or Kate or willing to grow up, get de-focused off themselves and raise THE KIDS in a stable loving home. That is how you do the best for your kids. And the grass is not gonna be greener on the other side of the fence.
This is TLC, The Learning Channel, exactly what are we supposed to be learning from this crap??? How to sell your family???
Since Kate is going to be single soon perhaps she can get together
with Dictator Kim Jong Il of North Korea. Kate and him seem to have similar personalities.
I'm team Kate all the way... I think Jon is very immature & wants to go party like a twenty year old. If he loves his kids so much he wouldn't be moving to N.Y. Kate had to be controlling because he was like another child. It's all very sad, I won't watch anymore, but I wish Kate & the kids all the best. Maybe she will find a real man now.
I'm a rare child of divorce apparently, My parents are the best of friends. You mess w/my mom my dad will hunt you down and vice versa. My parents have always lived within 5 miles of one another and I was fortunate enough to have both of them attend my childhood activities. Dad got remarried mom got remarried 2 weeks later. I guess I'm fortunate to have had 2 people that were adult enough to know that they just didn't belong together. I'm not sorry they had 2 kids and divored. I'm fortunate for the life I've had and the people who raised me together but not in the same house. All I see in this divorce is arguing, fighthing and the kids getting hurt and picked on in school cause every tablod in the world is going to eat this up. TLC it's time to cancel the show. I will not watch Kate plus 8.
If they truly cared about their kids more than themselves, they'd find a way to make it work out. They are disillusioned to think that a divorce will solve their problems. It will just create more for everyone - especially the children - in the long run. Plus, no one wants to watch an unhappy show about divorcing parents trying to put on a happy face "for the kids". I'm sure this will be the last season of the show as well. Sad....
John was a wimp who never wanted to do anything but snowboard, and party, and he showed it in all the seasons of this show. Put your thinking hats on people,,,,he was never vigilant in watching the kids, and she may be a terror at times, and snappy, but, you try to watch 8 kids going in 20 directions, by yourself, and see if you aren't snippy also. He has shown this in all the seasons, you just had to know to see it. He cannot even commit to being there, saying he "might" get a job offer, come on, he is committed to his silver earrings, parties, and snowboarding...... She seems really hurt, he seems like he is just waiting to get on with other things.....honestly, watch with different eyes....He is in a midlife wimpout....at 32, like he reminded us....
They should try to work it out. It is so much easier to get a divorce then to sit down and work through your issues. It is bad enough if you have one kid and you are divorcing but in this case their are 8 children who are going to be affected. You said you don't want to be a statistic so at least try counseling or at least make your viewers think you are trying. The I don't want to deal with this attitude is leading you down to the road of divorce.
I have watched the show with my husband and daughter and at the beginning we all loved the show but we always were some what put off of Kate's attitude. Then all the free trips, liposuction, hair plugs and so on, it just became a totally different show. The final straw was the million dollar house!! When all of the crap starting hitting the fan, I was very much against Kate but while I still think she is the biggest reason why all of this happened, she is not alone. Jon was not innocent in this at all but somehow I dont blame him as much as Kate. She emasculated him from the beginning, she drove her family and friends away and just got to high on herself. And she better watch her daughter Mady because she is going to turn out just like her. I dont like picking on children but in every episode we see Mady either crying about something, whinning about something or complaining about something. Like mother, like daughter!!
Jon said he's doing this separation cuz its best for the kids... i think counseling is best... why do people always think divorce is the answer
I guess they will call the show "Kate Plus Eight" and the spin off show "Jon Gone"
NotAmused.. you could not have said it any better !! Something I have always wondered about .. HER family "chose" a long time ago not to be involved with the family. I wonder why? I was really hoping they were going to get counseling. Can you imagine the impact THAT would have had on other couples struggling? I thought they were stronger than just giving up, but looks like I am wrong. SO going forward, I will not watch ....Kate Kate berate your 8 ..
Good God get some help before it's too late .
3 6. enough of these horrible people already. i don't get it.
if tlc had morals and ethics and cared about the safety of those kids this show would be off the air already...
Very sad. If they had never done the show I don't think this would have happened. Look at the price they have paid for fame and fortune.

Holders of coal exploration titles are required under the Mining Act (1992), to lodge reports on current exploration activities and expenditure, and the proposed exploration program, including expenditure for the following reporting period.
Upon expiration or termination of an exploration licence, the title holder is also required to lodge a comprehensive report containing full particulars of all exploration activities, including expenditure, carried out by the licence holder during the currency of the licence. The report should also include results of such exploration activities and conclusions reached regarding the potential of the coal resource in the licence area.
In addition, an assessment of the adequacy of exploration programs is undertaken prior to the grant of a mining lease. The Department must be satisfied that the amount of exploration is sufficient to prepare a conceptual mine plan. This ensures that the Department can support a development proposal that maximises the resource recovery of the area.
Submitting exploration and mining reports and digital data
As of 15 November 2010 all coal exploration and mining reports and data must be submitted in digital form, as set out by Exploration reporting: a guide for reporting on exploration and prospecting in New South Wales.
Reporting through the online report preparation and lodgement system, EROL, is compulsory
EROL is an online report preparation and lodgement facility for title holders, operators or agents. Users need to register for an account online at the EROL login page.
Data files attached to a report are reviewed for compliance to data templates as the first step to accepting the report. This quality assurance process ensures the data can be electronically uploaded into the drilling database.
Reports and data supplied to the Department under coal exploration, assessment and mining titles are considered confidential for the life of the title. This includes any renewals and transfers of the title. Coal exploration data generally does not become available until after titles have been relinquished.
However, for a variety of reasons small amounts of company exploration data may occasionally become available. All exploration carried out by the Department's Minerals Division, including joint venture exploration with companies, is made available to the public.
Extensions and exemptions from reporting requirements
The Mining Regulation 2010 allows for authority holders to apply for an extension of the period within which a report must be lodged, or for an exemption from reporting requirements. However, extensions and exemptions are not generally granted except in cases of extreme hardship.
Applications for extensions or exemptions must be lodged 30 days prior to the date the report is due using the ER01 – Extension or exemption from exploration reporting requirement form.
Exemption from reporting requirements does not exempt the authority holder from their obligation to fulfil other conditions of authority, especially the requirements to effectively explore, assess or mine the authority area.
Estimating and reporting Australian black coal resources and reserves
The Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) requires that all public reporting of resources and reserves of black coal comply with the guidelines.
Similarly, the Department requires all resource and reserve statements for black coal included in reports required under the Mining Act and associated regulations and conditions of title to comply with the guidelines.

Veterans Day matters | Federal Way letters
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, was created as a day to honor each and every veteran who has fought to protect this nation. Many Americans have lost sight of the true meaning of Veterans Day. Please let any veteran know how grateful you are for their service to the country. A simple handshake and a thank you will mean a lot to any veteran who took time out of his life to defend the nation.
Harold Christensen, Federal Way

The Online
Issue 6
Winter, 2004
Carol Potratz
Jehovah- Jireh, My Provider
Potratz worked at NABC as Associate Dean of Students
for several years. She was well-loved and respected.
Carol shone out as a lover of God and people. Her warm,
nearly unending smile was her personal trademark. She
took the work of discipleship and training of young
people very seriously. However, In 1998, God called
Carol to a position with the NAB conference as recruiter
for their missionary force overseas.
When she began with the conference, a slight decline
in overseas missions was occurring. Carol knew that
as the only recruiter, she could not keep current with
all of the churches and the 3 schools within the conference.
She turned to God's word and found insight in
Matthew 9:36-38 which says, "He saw…He had
compassion…He said, "The Harvest is plentiful
but the laborers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into the harvest field."
Immediately, she knew that her responsibilities were
clear. It was her job to pray and His job to send!
Now, everywhere that Carol goes, she asks people to
"pray up" workers for home and abroad. The
Lord definitely did His part. In 2002, 14 couples or
individuals were appointed to go overseas with NAB!
Over 340 people helped to strengthen missions mobilization
by serving on 33 teams during 2002. NAB had 27 International
Gateway teams, 5 home Gateway teams and 1 prayer team.
Forty-four volunteers from the NAB churches served in
the different mission fields during 2002. God proved
himself to be the great provider or, "Jehovah-Jireh,"
in so many areas of Carol's new job and in the
building of His kingdom!
Not only has Carol seen the provision of God in her
work with NAB, she has also seen the amazing hand of
God in her family this past year. Beginning in October
of this year, Carol's family underwent hardship.
All in all, God protected each of Carol's family
members and saw fit to heal each one of them. So many
heartaches brought about so many blessings. Carol's
brother-in-law, Terry, gained a whole new perspective
on life, the whole family grew closer together, and
Carol was again able to see God's provision for
his people.
Carol's past few years have been full of change
and challenge. She has sought hard after the Lord and
He has answered her prayers. He has provided for her
and for His kingdom. Praise God for His faithfulness!

I went off birth control about two months ago. Last month, my period lasted for almost 11-12 days, but it was very irregular. I bled steadily for 5 days, and then the remainder I would bleed heavily for about two hours, and then have nothing the rest of the day. Then, randomly 10 days later, I bled heavily for a day, and then nothing.
According to my regular scheduled periods, I should have started my period on either the 1st or 2nd of this month, and I still have nothing. My husband and I have started trying for pregnancy in the last two weeks. However, it is possible that we could have conceived anytime after I stopped taking the birth control, although we were being "careful" up until we decided to try to be pregnant.
I've had tender breasts, bloating, and mild cramps (usually my cramps are severe when I'm on my period). I've also experienced constant "fluttering" in my uterus that I've never experienced before. I know it's not gas because it has been happening off and on for the last 7 days.(what is it?) I've never been this late on a period. Is it possible that I could be pregnant? I'm scared to take a pregnancy test, I want it to be positive so bad

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Friday's storms didn't help crews working to change the frequency of Lubbock's Instrument Landing System (ILS). The Federal Aviation Administration decided to change the frequency after problems earlier this year.
Aviation Director James Loomis tells us they started the process earlier in the week. To make the change, crews had to turn off the instrument landing system for the main runway. It didn't affect day-to-day operations until the storms rolled in Friday. That's when airlines delayed and canceled a few flights into the city.
Loomis tells us the switch will take about two weeks to complete.

Lars Svensson, MD, PhD
Director of the Aorta Center, Director of the Aorta Center, specializing in the treatment of Marfan Syndrome and Connective Tissue Disorders, and Director of Quality and Process Improvement in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
Marfan Syndrome is a condition that affects the connective tissue of the body and causes damage to the heart, aorta, and other parts of the body, which can result in a medical emergency and become life-threatening. Dr. Lars Svensson answers your questions about Marfan Syndrome and Aortic Disease, including diagnosis and treatments.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Thank you for joining us, let's begin with the questions
Dr__Svensson: Thank you for having me.
gstamm: What is the expected progression of Marfan Syndrome?
Dr__Svensson: In patients who are on medications with an aortic root size less than 4.5 - 4.7 cm, the risk of aneurysm growth can often be controlled for many years.
In patients who have surgery for aortic root aneurysms a recent study we published in Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery showed that after the David procedure survival was equivalent to age and gender matched USA population.
VeggieFan: I had Aortic Dissection surgery in 2005. Approx 2 years later, I had an event that caused a period of chest discomfort and higher blood pressure. My dosage of Metropolol was doubled and I was also put on Losartan. My cardiologist took me off the Losartan, due to the expense, and kept me on Metropolol alone. Is the high expense of Losartan worth the possible benefit of the avoidance of arterial hardening? Does my age (53) matter in this decision? Thank you.
Dr__Svensson: The most important medication we know of as far as preventing further growth of aneurysms is to keep blood pressure very carefully under control particularly with beta blockers. At this time, we have no good evidence that losartan will help but theoretically it may.
taylormary: Since my aorta size has not changed in YEARS and is considered in the normal range, do I need to continue my beta-blocker?
Dr__Svensson: YES. Beta blockers do appear to slow down the risk of growth and furthermore in the general population, patients on beta blockers have improved long term survival. Unless you are having complications from beta blockers I would not recommend stopping.
cynfnp: 18y/o whose cardiologist placed him on losartan initially. Should he be on both beta blocker and losartan? Are you aware when the losartan study will be completed?
Dr__Svensson: Ideally if the patients can tolerate both a beta blocker and losartan that may be the preferred treatment but until the results of the Losartan trial become available we do not know how beneficial Losartan is. The losartan trial was completed for enrollment the beginning of this year. It will probably take 2 or 3 years before we have some information from the trial, if there is a difference.
LDE2: My 16 year old son has a dilated aortic root and is being treated as if he has Marfan Syndrome but the diagnosis hasn't yet been made. Is it safe for him to take Vyvanse (30 mg per day for a weight of 116) for ADD? Also, my father has an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (stent now in place), is this related to Marfan Syndrome?
Dr__Svensson: I cannot make any comments about medications since at this time we are unaware of any medications that increase the risk of aortic complications. However, the GenTec trial may find some associations. Your father's aneurysm is probably not related although the second most common site for aneurysms in patients with Marfan Syndrome is the abdominal aorta.
bacbac: CCF has operated on father, brother, and father's brother, all had dissecting aortic aneurisms. Brother died this year from it. Dr at CCF said this was hereditary. No one has any other Marfan Syndrome traits (short, round) - is this Marfan Syndrome or is there another type of dissecting AA that is hereditary?
Dr__Svensson: There are other types of hereditary aortic dissection and in some patients they can appear to be entirely normal looking, particularly inherited thoracic aortic dissection. The only test that has shown to be of some value is if on blood testing, the mutation is found for the inherited disease. not all families however, are found to have the particular mutation. There are undoubtedly many mutations that are still to be discovered.
sadieg: I have Marfan Syndrome ...son died w/ aneurysm....I have chronic afib & on beta blockers is that good
Dr__Svensson: I presume you are regularly followed by a cardiologist. Atrial fibrillation typically is controlled with multiple medications and I presume he has discussed this with you.
Yram22: Two years ago my 21 year old daughter had her wisdom teeth out, gum infections c. difficile, was on metronidazole, later felt something happen in her neck, has had left sided paresthesias since then, and facial pain ongoing, dry eyes so now has punctal plugs, no help. She is 5'9" and can do the 'thumb sign' and almost the 'wrist sign' for Marfan Syndrome, she is tall, slim, crowded teeth, left shoulder dislocated. All doctors keep saying it's not vascular or heart related, but she was born with 'stork bites' on the back of her neck and also some 'bruising' under her tongue but then that all went away. Her doctors at the time said if later she ever had strange things happen, to mention to the doctors to see if it's vascular....could it be Marfan Syndrome or a related vascular issue causing her symptoms? First MRI was normal, awaiting second MRI as the facial pain started after that, ruled out C1C2 instability with x-rays. What can we do to get her some answers? Thank you so much for your help.
Dr__Svensson: The situation sounds fairly complicated and I would recommend she gets evaluated by an experienced geneticist who deals with connective tissue disorders.
gstamm: An 18-yr old with an enlarged aortic root and mixed signs of Marfan Syndrome: is surgery only recommended to repair the situation?
Dr__Svensson: We only recommend surgery when the size of the aorta is about 5 cm or the cross sectional area in square cm divided by the patient's height exceeds 10.
VeggieFan: I had Aortic Dissection surgery in 2005. Marfan Syndrome is suspected, due to other symptoms (scoliosis, tall with long appendages, etc). Before Dr Svensson performed my surgery, he took my mother's hands in his and said that this genetic disorder is passed on by the female parent. This statement has bothered my family a lot, since none of my mother's family has any symptoms at all - but there are many many Marfan Syndrome -related issues (although not confirmed) on my father's side. Also, the Marfan Syndrome Assoc website says this disorder can come from either parent. Does Dr Svensson still feel that this disorder is maternally transferred? Thank you.
Dr__Svensson: I trust you continue to do well. As far as the comment about maternal transfer of Marfan Syndrome, somehow I must have been misunderstood. Either a mother or father may pass on Marfans but in approximately a quarter of patients (26%) in one study there is no family history of Marfan Syndrome. There has been reported an association with older fathers and spontaneous Marfan Syndrome. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
bacbac: Is it a good idea to get the 9p21 genetic testing done when there are 3 close relatives who have had aortic aneurisms?
Dr__Svensson: If you want to trace the gene through your family tree, then it would be useful. However, from a treatment point of view, we still rely on the size of the aorta. For family members with a suspicion for Marfan Syndrome I would recommend at least a transthoracic echo.
mllsrcs: I am a 46 year old women, 5'8" and I was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome over 4 years ago. Echo done then had a measurement off my Aorta at the level of the sinuses of Valsalva Z score -3.95, the dilated root measured 30mm at the sinotubular, a small trace of aortic valve regurgitation, the ascending aorta in the "long axis" was at 37mm with a score of 4.7. My last echo measurement this year was 4cm at the aortic root at the sinuses of Valsalva, 3.6 sinotubular junction, 3.7cm ascending aorta. I am a bit confused because this past echo showed no signs of aortic valve regurgitation. I would like have elective surgery . How fast do you think it might grow or not grow.
Dr__Svensson: Concerning your aortic valve leakage, I would not put much store to the difference between trace and none. There can be minor variation on echo. As far as your aortic size, based on what you report, I would not recommend surgery unless you get up to about 4.8 cm or develop marked aortic valve regurgitation. In younger patients who are still considering a pregnancy or have a history of aortic dissection in the family then we would consider earlier intervention. Similarly, in patients with Loeys Dietz we operate earlier.
powell9376: I was clinically diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome in May of this year. I have had an echo done and it came back normal. Should I assume that Marfan Syndrome isn't affecting my cardio and not get any more echos done?
Dr__Svensson: If you have been definitively diagnosed as having Marfan Syndrome, you should never stop having echos - the only issue is how often. I would recommend at least every 2 years because I have seen patients go into their 70s before they develop the aneurysms.
gstamm: How is an aneurism detected? Are there outward signs obvious to the patient?
Dr__Svensson: No - not typically. They are detected by echo or CT scan.
taylormary: I have marfan syndrome per the Cleveland Clinic. Does my hip pain, which the doctor said is bursitis, have anything to do with marfan syndrome?
Dr__Svensson: This is really an orthopedic surgery question but yes, patients with Marfan Syndrome have what is called acetabular protrusio which may predispose to hip pain.
LindaR: I have Marfan Syndrome .....one son died w/ aorta aneurysm & a 2nd nearly...now with heart valve & coumadin. I have not had the aorta enlargement, but have dural ectasia and chronic low back pain with numbness in feet/legs, some in buttocks and thighs. Can the cysts be pressing on nerve roots to cause these problems? I am female & 70 yrs old. I also have chronic Afib.
Dr__Svensson: This is outside my area of expertise but patients with Marfan Syndrome do undergo surgery for spinal problems and I would recommend you see a special spinal institute or center.
arthurrl: I was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome 15 years and have had IBS most of my adult life. Is it likely that they are related?
Dr__Svensson: It may be related but more typically IBS and bowel problems are associated with Ehlers Danlos.
BridgetD: Are there free clinical trials for Marfan Syndrome?
Dr__Svensson: The early trial that was running was the Losartan trial but that has completed enrollment. In addition, in patients undergoing surgery, aortic specimens are collected at some centers for the GenTac study. You can check out clinical studies at www.clinicaltrials.gov
gstamm: If an 18-yr-old with an enlarged aortic root has inconclusive Marfan Syndrome signs (including genetic testing), how should diagnosis and treatment proceed?
Dr__Svensson: The most important factors to watch are rate of growth of the aortic root and absolute size. Depending on the situation the criteria for surgery would probably still be 5 cm.
Thidwick50: Dr. Svensson, is the formula you use in determining when an aortic root replacement is needed for Marfan Syndrome patients (area of aorta divided by height in meters) useful in adults with other congenital heart defects? My son had patch repair of coarctation of aorta as a baby, is now 5 foot 10 inches tall, and has a root measuring 4.4. My math says this would mean he should be considered for surgery, if your formula applies. He also has a well-functioning but bicuspid aortic valve and is otherwise perfectly healthy and asymptomatic.
Dr__Svensson: That is a good question and generally we don't have good data on patients with congenital heart disease and when we should operate on them. However, for patients with bicuspid valves, we use the same formula in adults.
saraS: how important is it to have a surgeon operate on ascending aorta aneurysm who is skilled in connective tissue disorders if one has such a disorder
Dr__Svensson: There are a number of centers around the country that have a large experience with operating on patients with connective tissue disorders. On average, a surgeon in the United States only does 8 isolated aortic valve replacements a year. In the hands of surgeons who do not do much root surgery the likely operation that will be offered is a mechanical valve composite valve graft requiring a lifetime of coumadin anticoagulation. In experienced centers, the likelihood is better than 90% that you will receive a David Reimplantation operation and not have to be on coumadin.
Jane_R: Has any one particular doctor performed numerous endoscopic aneurysm repair of the aortic arch? My husband has a dissected aorta, a St. Jude's valve and various other complications. The Gore-Tag graft was recently approved for use. Has the CLINIC performed or been involved? His aortic arch aneurysm is approx. 6.cm and requiring repair. THANK YOU.
Dr__Svensson: As a generalization, we do not use stent grafts in patients with Marfan Syndrome - or - with chronic aortic dissection because the early and long-term results particularly with arch procedures have not been good.
carola1967: my aortic valve this past April was 1.0 is this low enough to consider surgery
Dr__Svensson: I presume you have aortic stenosis with a valve area of 1.0. By definition this is severe aortic valve stenosis. If you do not have symptoms, we typically would not recommend surgery. If you do have symptoms, surgery would be recommended.
gstamm: Is aortic-root surgical repair an "open-heart" type surgery?
Dr__Svensson: Yes - it is open heart surgery.
sagaboy67: On average, how long might it take for a Type B aortic dissection to organize itself or heal?
Dr__Svensson: Type B aortic dissection usually stabilize by 6 months if they are less than 4 cm in diameter. Above that size, the tendency is for them to grow.
sagaboy67: Is it possible for future Type B dissections to take place in patients already afflicted with a previous dissection?
Dr__Svensson: That is a perceptive question. We have noted and described that in Marfan Syndrome patients they can develop a secondary aortic dissection of the descending aorta resulting in a triple lumen aorta. This is uncommon in Marfan Syndrome and I have never seen it happen in somebody who did not have a connective tissue disorder. My best advice would be to have your blood pressure carefully controlled and if you develop an aneurysm, to be evaluated for possible surgery.
sagaboy67: Does any data on life expectancy exist on post Type B dissection by using medical management (strict blood pressure control)?
Dr__Svensson: The life expectancy data of type B dissection is somewhat murky because it is influenced by the early period after the dissection and other interventions. The survival curves would suggest that in patients with stable dissections beyond 1 year, the survival was very good.
sagaboy67: What is meant by the last part of your response below, I ask this because I was of the view that Marfan Syndrome was a connective tissue disorder.
Dr__Svensson: This is uncommon in Marfan Syndrome and I have never seen it happen in somebody who did not have a connective tissue disorder. The original question was: sagaboy67 asks: Is it possible for future Type B dissections to take place in patients already afflicted with a previous dissection?
Yes - that is what I meant - that patients with connective tissue disorders, particularly Marfan Syndrome can have a second dissection.
carola1967: I had two metal stents put in 4 yrs ago on the descending aorta, and now have been told one of them has collapsed....is this common ..I am very scared
Dr__Svensson: Collapse of stents is somewhat unusual. However, I presume the stents were put in because you had inadequate blood flow in your true lumen (opening) with distal so called ischemia (lack of blood supply). I would recommend that if you have evidence of ischemia you be re-evaluated for this. If you don't have an aneurysm it is unlikely we would do anything further.
sagaboy67: What is the recommended age for an 8 month old baby diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome to commence treatment?
Dr__Svensson: I would suggest you contact Dr. Hal Dietz at John Hopkins and discuss with him this unusual situation.
charley21987: I was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at age 5, had valve sparing surgery at age 14, I am now 24 and was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope this year. Is this common for Marfan Syndrome and do you have any recommendations as a specialist as to how this should be handled?
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: We asked Dr. Fred Jaeger, Director of our Syncope Center your question. He stated:
Marfan syndrome is commonly associated with various types of dysautonomia which could result in reflex syncope. In addition surgical treatments for Marfan Syndrome may have a predisposition for syncope from other causes. I would suggest you see an electrophysiologist.
Overandunder: It has been suggested that Marfan Syndrome patients with aortic root enlargement can exercise safely if they can still carry on a conversation while doing so. The Bethesda Guidelines suggest not exceeding a VO2 max of 40%. Is it safe to undergo exercise testing in a protected environment where a pt can learn at what level to safely exercise? Is Cardiac Rehab an applicable regimen for these pts? Are we doing a disservice to these pts by not giving them an individualized exercise prescription?
Dr__Svensson: I am unaware of any good data on the safety of particular exercises in patients with Marfan Syndrome and especially VO2 max. The common denominator that seems to be present in patients who develop aortic dissection and who have Marfan Syndrome is that they are doing rapid upper chest movements while straining. For example, basketball; baseball; swinging an axe; golf; free style swimming.
EllaS: Hello Dr. Svensson, Question: Is reformer pilates (isokinetic or istonic) exercise healthy for the heart? If I wear a heart monitor and my heart rate stays below 100 beats per minute, is that a good rule of thumb that I am not putting extreme pressure on my aorta? About Me: I am 28 years old and have Marfan Syndrome. I have mild mitral valve prolapse. I have also had 4 collapsed lungs. Thank You!
Dr__Svensson: as far as specific exercises, see my comments above. I recommend that patients walk 45 minutes a day 5 times a week for the basic cardiovascular exercise. Using an elliptical machine or treadmill would be similar. The main thing is to avoid straining of the upper chest and lifting things that cause your intra-aortic blood pressure to rise. So, pulling pulleys and straining the upper chest should probably be avoided.
Due to the many questions during this chat – we asked Dr. Gordon Blackburn , Program Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation to address exercise and Marfan Syndrome.
Dr. Blackburn: Marfan Syndrome is a genetic disorder that effects the connective tissues of the body including the heart valves and aorta. High intensity exercise (especially those that increase the mean arterial pressure which stresses the walls of the aorta and the valves), exercises with increased risk of trauma/collision and/or ballistic type exercises are to be avoided.
Yoga and Pilates: Certain yoga positions and Pilates exercises may be appropriate but activities should be performed in a gentle, rhythmical nature and holding breath and straining should be avoided. The person's underlying strength/flexibility, the number of Pilates springs and the degree of static (isometric) force generated in the pose effect the appropriateness of the activity.
VO2: The Bethesda Guidelines are designed to guide participation in competitive sports. The guidelines focus on individuals who participate in organized sports, who put a high premium on success, who compete regularly and who are engaging in regular (intense) training. The guidelines have been extrapolated to the recreational athlete as well as vocational endeavors that have a significant physical component.
Based on the Bethesda Guidelines individuals with Marfan Syndrome may participate in activities that require <40-50% of their peak VO2 (This is a dynamic value that changes with conditioning/deconditioning and is specific to each individual. Peak functional capacity (peak VO2) can be determined by a medically supervised/monitored exercise test. The talk test (able to say at least one normal length sentence without stopping to take a breath) is a good rule of thumb to guide intensity. Activities should also require <50% of their Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC) (the heaviest weight the can be lifted for a specific activity once or the highest static force generated during a contraction.....this should not be performed directly by individuals with Marfan Syndrome but can be approximated by finding a weight that can be lifted approximately 20-25 times (reps) before experiencing local fatigue.)...However if the individual has an aortic root dilatation of >40 mmHg, moderate-severe mitral regurgitation, a family history of aortic dissection or sudden death or prior surgical reconstruction of the aortic root, the static component should be reduced to 20% of MVC (or weights that can be lifted >50 repetitions before experiencing local fatigue for the specific activity).
Contact sports: Individuals with Marfan Syndrome or post surgical reconstruction of the aorta should not participate in activities with a high potential for bodily collision, either with another person, object or the ground.
Activity guidelines: Activity guidelines must be tailored to the individual to optimize benefits while minimizing risk. Walking, cycling, elliptical machines may be excellent modes of exercise when the intensity is appropriately adjusted.
It is also important to note that lack of exercise also carries risk. A sedentary lifestyle leads to deconditioning and possible weight gain. With deconditioning the relative cost of all activities will increase and regular tasks may exceed the 50% recommended limit, so finding the right activity and regular participation, along with weight control and blood pressure management are essential to long term health.
Because of the relatively high risk of aneurysm, dissection and sudden death, patients with Marfan Syndrome should routinely follow up with their cardiologist to establish and modify any activity plans.
VeggieFan: Thank you for this chat today, Dr. Svensson - It has been very helpful!
carola1967: thank you for hosting this
ellawb: Hi Dr. Svensson Thanks for bring here!

FORT CAMPBELL, KY. – On a day set aside to honor the sacrifices military spouses make, some ladies enjoyed a special event at Fort Campbell.
Military Spouse Appreciation Day has been recognized nationwide every year. However, Fort Campbell turned it into three days of events for spouses stationed at the post.
Over the course of the week, women participated in seminars, cooking demonstrations, and a spa day.
Women lined up outside of the Family Resource Center for hours for a chance to take part in manicures, massages, snacks and door prize drawings.
Shawne Lee Rivas attended the event for the first time, and said she was impressed by the efforts.
"It's overwhelming," said Rivas. "You know I didn't expect this. It's crazy."
For members of the Morale Welfare and Recreation Department (MWR) at Fort Campbell, the event is a perfect way to honor women who make sacrifices every day.
"We always tell our spouses thank you," said Tara Goodson, Marketing Coordinator for MWR. "This is a way to show we appreciate them by giving everything this week for free."
The popular spa day event is in its 6th year.
"There are so many spouses who don't take time to pamper themselves," said Goodson. "This is a great opportunity to do that."
The first Military Spouse Appreciation day was recognized in 1984. Ever since, the day has been the Friday before Mother's Day.Email: email@example.com

Kirk Harnack of Omnia/Axia highlights the new Telos Hx1.
Remember that clunky old box and headset wired to your wall? The telephone of the past isn't quite a memory. Today, more than ever, home and business users turn to smart phones, Skype/VoIP and advanced CODEC algorithms for voice and digital communications.
Still, (texting aside) the human voice reigns supreme for effective communication. Mere text cannot intonate, inflect or bond a conversation. Some may give an LOL to that. In fact, both modes have become a binding part of our daily communications.
Back to this telephone (or 'Plain Old Telephone Service') technology. Twisted pair, copper or whatever moniker we tag to the analog telephone, it is still the quickest and amazingly easiest way to personalize communications to most parts of the world.
Radio talk shows are as popular as ever. Broadcast and media interviewers rely on POTS as a vital tool. Among the top tools that interface telephone to our audio boards is the hybrid. Having tried several brands, I remain biased by the simplicity and power of a single product; the Telos family.
The Telos One is a telephone gateway to your desktop workstation, interviews and recording voice on the fly. One button operation, advanced digital signal processing and leveling make the Telos One a 'mount and forget' workhorse.
From the Telos One, a new star has emerged. Enter the Telos Hx1. Sporting a new look with real time metering, the true beauty of the Hx1 lies in its advanced digital signal processing. Tweaked for todays myriad of phone audio and annoying delays, the Hx1 helps call after call sound consistent thanks to dynamic digital EQ. Adaptive automatic gain control and noise gating, based on Omnia technology uniquely position the Hx1 from the crowd. Front panel send and receive meters allow visual confidence monitoring. Above are just a few highlights of many new Hx1 features.
I would like to tell you an Hx1 is in the rack at this time. At Studio1A, we are working to make that happen. A comprehensive real world demo is headed your way, so stay tuned and keep talking!

Like the Saturday Puzzle Isn't Hard Enough Already
Crossword aficianados know that the NYTimes crossword gets progressively harder as the week goes on. Saturday's is generally a cast iron bitch on wheels. This kind of correction, from today's paper (unlinked because the Times doesn't archive corrections as such on its site), won't help:
The crossword puzzle on Saturday provided an erroneous clue for 12 Down, seeking the answer "mare." "Mate for `my friend' Flicka" was incorrect because Flicka, in the Mary O'Hara story, was a mare; her mate would be a stallion.

Rhode Island's top public education official delivered an upbeat assessment of the work going on in schools around the state.
Education Commissioner Deborah Gist addressed a joint session of the Senate and the House Thursday evening at the State House.
Gist said schools are increasingly embracing innovative classroom techniques to boost student performance and prepare them for their future careers.
Gist says her goals include a greater incorporation of technology in the classroom and that she'd like to see every district in the state offer dual language immersion programs for students as young as kindergarteners by 2020.
On Friday, Gist is set to release the state's latest graduation rates and the results from last fall's student assessment tests.

Mobile phone sales fall for the first time since 2009
Sales of mobiles phones have fallen for the first time since 2009 as consumers shun cheaper handsets and opt for more expensive smartphones.
Overall in 2012, 1.75 billion mobile phones were sold, down 1.7 per cent from 2011, according to the research firm Gartner.
Samsung and Apple continued to dominate the market, with the Korean giant selling 385 million phones in 2012, of which 53.5 per cent were smartphones, with Apple selling 130 million smartphones.
Chinese company Huawei was third spot in worldwide smartphone sales for the first time in the fourth quarter, Gartner said, selling 27.2 million smartphones in 2012, an increase of 74 per cent.
Gartner said it expects sales of feature phones – ie any phone that is not a smartphone – to continue falling this year.
It is predicting that in 2013 smartphones sales will outstrip sales of feature phones for the first time.

Giving up "pet" reptiles without facing a penalty
Residents who own reptiles that are not native to Florida can now give up their pets without facing a penalty whenever they want — instead of releasing them into the Everglades. The new rules expand a series of pet amnesty events so pet owners can surrender their unwanted pets to a wildlife sanctuary instead of illegally releasing them.
Born Free USA united with API believes that wildlife belongs in the wild, not in private possession. Releasing animals to sanctuaries is a much better alternative to keeping exotic "pets" in substandard housing, with their dietary and psychological needs poorly met, if at all.
