By Stephanie Stahl
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A growing number of men say they're having a better sex life, making more money, getting an energy boost and thinking more clearly.
3 On Your Side Health Reporter Stephanie Stahl has more on the so-called wonder drug that has so many men are feeling like a super man.
It makes men stronger, full of lust, and more productive at work. A secret weapon nicknamed "Viagra for the Boardroom."
"The energy, the drive, and just feeling ya know even 10 years younger," said Robert Trasatti, who says his increased energy and focus on the job led to a bigger bonus. With the extra money, he went to Italy and bought a new truck.
Talking about the truck, Robert said, "I love it. My wife calls it my mistress."
But his wife's not complaining. After 26 years of marriage their sex life is recharged.
"She's happy, we're happy and that makes everybody happy," said Robert.
Testosterone is what is making everyone so happy.
Robert, who lives in Bucks County, is among a growing number of men who believe they have found the fountain of youth with testosterone replacement therapy.
"Testosterone is good for more than just your sexual function. It helps increase energy, memory, mood and drive. It gives you that feeling of self confidence and that ability to really be a strong leader, make decisions and really be a go getter in business," said Dr. Jennifer Landa, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD.
She's a nationally recognized expert on hormone replacement.
Testosterone sales reached 1.6 billion dollars last year. They're expected to triple in the next five years, according to one report.
Dr. Kenneth Varano, with BodyLogicMD in King of Prussia, says the male hormone testosterone naturally declines with age, when men are in their 50's and 60's. But some research has shown it's happening earlier, to a larger number of men.
"Typically what we see with testosterone decline is your typical couch potato syndrome. Men don't want to go out anymore. They show less interest in their wives.
They sit more. They're fatigued more," said Dr. Varano.
Testosterone can be replaced with injections, a skin cream, pellets placed just under the skin, and now there's a new underarm product.
"It's just a very, very small treatment and yet it can have such powerful effects in the body," said Dr. Varano.
But studies have shown there can be serious side effects, including an increased risk of prostate cancer.
"It depends how it's used. So most of the risk that we see has to do with abuse of testosterone," said Dr. Varano.
For Robert, who is now also enjoying his favorite hobby flying, the pellets he gets every couple of months have his testosterone level back to normal. He's got his edge back, and is flying high.
"It's certainly helped increase my drive and effort, focus. To feel more like I felt when I was younger, so that's been a big part of it," said Robert.
While there are all sorts of over-the-counter supplements, doctors say testosterone prescriptions are most effective, and patients have to be carefully monitored, with routine blood tests.
Costs range from 30 to 60 dollars a month, and it's not usually covered by insurance.

Welcome back folks. As Dexter Morgan infamously says, tonight's the night. And by tonight, I mean, of course, Thursday night! THE NFL DRAFT BEGINS!!! We're here for the final 16 picks of our mock draft first round. CHECK OUT PART 1 HERE. Enjoy!!!
Mark: With the 17th pick in the 2012 Thread Mock Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Dre Kirkpatrick, Cornerback, Alabama.
It was very tempting to give the Bengals Janoris Jenkins with this pick (who may actually be the most talented corner available). It fits their philosophy to draft or sign extremely talented players who's stock has taken a hit due to character red flags. Also, just the idea of the dream team of Jenkins and Pac Man Jones as your starting corners is unreal. Opposing receivers would fail drug test just from the second hand smoke coming from Jenkins and Pac Man. Children of strippers would have college funds started because of the money "raining" down from Jenkins and Pac Man. I'd want a season long edition of a Hard Knocks like show to follow them around all season if they ended up on the same team.
Anyway, the Bengals are trying to clean up their image, so they go with Kirkpatrick because of his great man-to-man coverage skill, which is something Cincy likes to do a lot, and the fact that he is a good character guy. It also helps that the Bengals are picking again in four picks (this is originally the Raiders pick, thanks a lot Hue Jackson), so the Bengals have some flexibility to go after another need here if there is a more highly rated player available and still get some help for their secondary at pick 21.

In late summer 1916, Ryoichi Kobayashi gave up his job as an "automobile driver" in Vancouver and followed the Alberta-bound flow of Japanese-Canadian men wanting to enlist in the Canadian Army.
He'd just turned 25 and had been in Canada for eight years.
But like others before him, Kobayashi was rejected as a volunteer when he applied in British Columbia. Here, only Caucasians were being accepted even though earlier that year, more than 150 Japanese-Canadians had paid for their own initial training in Steveston and Vancouver only to be told that B.C. recruiters weren't interested in admitting Asians.
Alberta recruiters had no such qualms. And that suited men like Kobayashi just fine because they believed fighting for Canada would be a step toward earning full rights of citizenship including the right to vote.
Like most who volunteered, these men had no idea what lay ahead.
As Kobayashi told a Vancouver Sun reporter nearly 50 years later, after the fear of the first battle, the food was so terrible and the trenches so cold that he often wondered whether it would be better to die.
The first Japanese volunteers enlisted with the 13th Canadian Mounted Rifles in Medicine Hat. By June 1916, 42 of them were on their way to Europe where they eventually joined the 50th Battalion.
Japanese-Canadian volunteers fought in Canadian regiments involved in all of the war's biggest battles — the Battle of the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Ypres, Passendaele, Amiens, Scarpe, Drocourt Queant, Canal du Nord, Cambrai and Valenciennes.
By war's end, of the 222 who had enlisted, 54 had been killed, 92 were wounded and 11 had received Military Medals for bravery.
Sainosuke Kubota — like Kobayashi — was determined to fight.
A member of the Satsuma warrior clan, he had been working as a cook at a small hotel on Mayne Island since immigrating in 1907.
He was 24 when he used the last of his savings to buy a train ticket to Calgary where he arrived in July 1916.
"There was a recruitment office and soldiers on the street," Kubota wrote in 1957 essay submitted to a contest sponsored by the Japanese-Canadian Citizens Association.
After confirming to the officer that he was a naturalized citizen, Kubota "hurriedly" signed the registration papers.
"A soldier took me to a nearby restaurant where I got quite full eating stew."
With his belly full, Kubota was taken to Sarcee Camp where tents "spread like waves as far as the eye could see" and were divided by wide avenues.
After being pronounced fit, issued a uniform and assigned to a tent where he was bunked with "six white soldiers," he wrote, "I was finally in the army. I was really jubilant."
The feeling didn't last.
The next morning, rather than starting training, Kubota was waiting tables in the officers mess. Inadvertently, he'd signed on to the Army Service Corps.
His war seemed destined to be spent serving meals and cleaning tables. He was devastated, but his bunkmates congratulated him on his luck.
"I wanted to call them bastards, but I kept my mouth shut."
But he found a way out a few weeks later. He approached one of the officers of a fighting unit and begged for a transfer.
During his first week in the new unit, he and an officer were dispatched to collect a couple of other Japanese-Canadians from a Calgary recruiting office. A few weeks later, Kubota and two officers went to British Columbia to recruit more of them.
When the 14th Platoon left for Europe that fall, there were 42 Japanese-Canadians and Kubota was a corporal.
By the time the unit finally reached the front, members fell into the routine of two weeks of fighting followed by rest periods at the rear.
"The awareness that we had survived two weeks longer enabled us to enjoy our hot food, coffee, beer and especially the letters from home," he later wrote.
"(But) the Japanese Canadian casualties began to rise. I felt somehow responsible but reconciled myself to the idea that somehow God knew our destiny."
That destiny for Kobayashi, Kubota and many others included the Battle of Vimy Ridge, a three-day ordeal that began on April 9, 1917, and is widely considered to be a defining moment for Canada.
"At 2 a.m., our artillery commenced its bombardment and at 3 a.m., our infantry began to advance," Kubota wrote.
"Since the start of the Vimy general offensive, we had not slept for three solid days and night and all of us were in desperate need of sleep and water. By then the Corps was reduced by a half with many Japanese-Canadian casualties."
More than 7,000 Canadians died and 3,598 Canadians were wounded including Kobayashi, who was shot in the left arm.
Kobayashi was sent to Ramsgate Hospital in England where he was wounded again during an air raid attack before being sent back to Canada and honourably discharged on May 17, 1918.
Meantime, Kobuta and his unit carried on. When the Japanese-Canadian contingent dwindled to 20, it was bolstered by the arrival of 18 more Japanese-Canadians from the Alberta-based 192nd Corps.
By early 1918, some of those men were conscripts because so many volunteers had been killed that the government had made military service mandatory with no exceptions.
The Canadian forces continued their advance south and by August, Kobuta and his platoon could see the towers of the famous, medieval cathedral in Reims.
They were called in to reinforce British forces involved in heavy fighting. Kobuta divided the Japanese-Canadians into two squads, taking command of one of them.
It was a terrible fight, followed by a retreat.
Five Japanese-Canadian soldiers died and their bodies were piled in hastily dug trenches as the heavy bombardment continued into the night. Another seven were seriously wounded. By dawn, Kubota had been wounded as well.
Kubota later wrote that he deeply regretted the hectic general retreat because it meant "there was no chance to have a parting word with my comrades."
Two months in an English hospital followed by six more in a Canadian hospital and Kobuta was then on the list to go back. Only this time, it was to Siberia to fight alongside the Japanese.
During his physical exam, Kubota wrote that he asked the doctor, "Check my backside … (A)fter close inspection, concluded by a robust slap on the rump, he declared: 'Oh, no good.'
"It was a bad case of hemorrhoids. I had escaped going to Siberia."
On Nov. 11, Kubota wept for joy in Calgary as peace was declared. And he wept for the men who he'd recruited who would never make it home.
During the next couple of years, Kubota forged a new life in Calgary and took a quick trip to Japan, returning with a bride.
He wrote that they encountered very little prejudice there and he was even allowed to vote in the provincial as well as federal election.
But things hadn't changed much in British Columbia, where Kobayashi had returned to settle.
The B.C. government reduced the number of fishing licences to "other than white residents" in 1919. Veterans were exempt, but they once again felt the sting of exclusion.
By 1920, the Japanese community in Vancouver had raised enough money to build a cenotaph in Stanley Park commemorating the Japanese-Canadians who had fought and died during the war.
The monument with its "eternal" flame was unveiled on the third anniversary of the start of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
But a few weeks later, public outrage forced Premier John Oliver to withdraw his motion to extend the vote to Japanese-Canadian veterans.
By 1926, the veterans had established their own branch of the Canadian Legion — Branch #9. Through it and with the help of other veterans, they continued to lobby for the vote.
The battle was won April 1, 1931. Legion president Masumi Matsui and secretary-treasurer Kobuta witnessed the vote in the legislature. The motion passed by a vote of 19 to 18.
Back at the cenotaph to celebrate, Kubota read a poem he'd written to the 20 men he'd recruited and who were buried somewhere in France.
"Although you are gone you are not dead
"Surely the setting sun will rise again for you
"Your heroic spirit will live in our hearts
"We take the torch from your hand to fight and carry on."
The hard-won gain of the veterans was short-lived. It was extinguished along with the cenotaph's eternal flame in the days that followed Japan's Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor.
During the next few years, the veterans were among 22,000 Japanese-Canadians forced into internment camps.
After the war, Kobayashi had worked as a taxi driver, a fisherman after the war, gone to Japan briefly and returned with a bride.
When the federal government ordered people of Japanese ancestry to leave the coast, the Kobayashis were at 2072 Dundas Street in Vancouver and stubbornly resisted, citing his war service.
But he relented in the fall of 1942 because of the discrimination his five children were subjected to by their peers, according to an account published in the Japanese Canadian Bulletin.
The Kobayashis were among the last Japanese to leave Vancouver and were sent to the Tashme internment camp, where Ryoichi and Masako had two more children.
When the Second World War ended, they were given a choice — move east of the Rockies or be 'repatriated' to Japan.
Kobayashi chose Japan.
In May 1946, they and their seven Canadian-born children were among the first of the 3,964 "repatriates" to leave Canada.
They went to Ryoichi's birthplace, Hiroshima, which only a few months earlier had been devastated by a nuclear bomb.
It's not clear how they survived the next few years. But in 1952 at the start of the Korean War, Ryoichi and his four sons applied to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Ryoichi was rejected because of his age, but his sons were among the nearly 40 repatriated Japanese-Canadians who were accepted.
By 1955, their son Yukata had been posted to Western command in Edmonton and two years later, the rest of the family returned to Canada.
Ryoichi applied for citizenship and was rejected by the presiding judge because of his poor English.
Yukata, who had accompanied his father, challenged the decision. Pointing to the insignia pinned on his father's lapel, Yukata explained that his father was a Canadian veteran of the First World War.
The judge relented.
Ryoichi Kobayashi, Sainosuke Kubota, Masumi Mitsui and Kiyoki Iizuka were profiled in The Vancouver Sun before Remembrance Day in 1965.
They were described as the only four surviving Japanese-Canadian veterans.
Twelve years later, Kubota and his wife flew from Toronto to Vancouver to hand over to the Japanese Canadian Citizens Association the legion banners, honour rolls and photos from the First World War that he'd kept safe during the internment.
He died the following year at age 88.
Ryoichi Kobayashi died in 1979. He, too, was 88 and is buried in the veterans' plot at Vancouver's Mountain View Cemetery.
Their stories and those of their comrades endure in the archives of the Nikkei National Museum in Burnaby, which is a legacy of the long-standing fight by Japanese-Canadians who sought redress for the internment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Madame Tussauds' Washington wax museum took figures of President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle on a bus tour Thursday to celebrate the inauguration.
The museum said the figures were loaded onto a bus from Big Bus Tours at Union Station around 9 a.m. Thursday and were taken past the Capitol Building and the Lincoln Memorial.
The figures, which were updated to reflect the president and first lady's aging since the figures were created in 2008, were greeted at Madame Tussauds' by figures of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy.
The tour was planned in honor of Obama's scheduled inauguration next week for his second term in office.

1. Women do not have a monopoly on flight deck crashes
2. Men have also been gang raped in prisons for decades, both in and out of war.

They had a series of incidents involving female Navy pilots as I remember, one involved forgetting to pull out of afterburner soon enough leading to an engine failure on one turkey/F-14 .The other one slipped off of the side of the flight deck on landing.
Considering the number of female pilots in the USN who were flying F 14's those numbers were close to sixty percent at the time and the admirals pay close attention to crash statistics .Navy Females pilots did well flying rescure choppers for a while !
These rapes occurred soon after capture and interrogation during desert storm after a army supply chopper went down . Rapes in prison are a different topic,don't you think ?

Navy Capt. Mark Grissom, commander of the Pacific Fleet's naval fighter wing and the officer who oversaw Hultgreen's training squadron, confirmed Hultgreen's achievements as a pilot.
Putting the grades in context, Grissom recalled his years as an F-14 instructor on the East Coast, where training is conducted at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach.
``If these grades that Kara had, had been flown by a male pilot or anybody, I would have qualified him without a blink of an eye,'' he said. ``And it is not unusual to not have as good a boarding rate at night. There's no doubt in my mind Kara was well-qualifie
Another of the first American woman to fly in combat in the '90s was Lt Col.Martha McSally, ranked as the top female Air Force pilot. Lt Col McSally was among the first women trained by the Air Force as a fighter pilot. During a 1995-96 tour of duty in Kuwait, she became the first woman in military history to fly a combat sortie in a fighter aircraft. She also flew more than 100 combat hours on an A-10 Warthog attack plane over Iraq in the mid-1990s, and served as a flight commander and trainer of combat pilots.
Women B1 bomber pilots as well. They've proven their mettle..if they meet the cut, when why not? Same standards for all..if they make the grade, then why not?

I decided to use contrasting prints and shapes by combining the oversized dark rainbow floral top with the light high waist leopard mini skirt. Which makes a good color illusion and the black fringe brings it all together since it almost the same length as the skirt. See what I did there? It doesn't have to be matchy matchy, it's all about using colors to make the prints work together. If you notice black is throughout my entire outfit from my hat to my shoes which ties it all in. You should definitely go balls to the wall and try some print mixing at home, then hit the streets!
Anywho, so I kinda sorta hate life right now since I've recently gotten some devastating news about my first NYFW! Like I'm beginning to think it's just not my time or something cause I always get blocked and hit with a side jab when I attempt to explore my blogger dreams.
So what had happen is Joel has to fucking go to Aberdeen for work which means I have no one to watch my baby boy, boooooooooooo! Like I knew he had to leave in Feb. but I didn't know it was going to land on the same most important week of my life. On top of that we're not going to spent Valentine's Day together! I feel horrible and like I'm letting so many people down since I actually had work lined up. I'm usually like whateves but I REALLY wanted to see my bestie. She's like a ray of sunshine on a shitty day...I just need her energy, tear :( But on a good note Joel did feel horrible too so he bought me a ticket to NY for my bday! So March 12-18, it's going down in the great NYC...ugh so happy, kinda!!
There's always fashion week in Sept. right?
kiss kiss,

Could someone please be able point me in the direction of where I could find some best practice security guides for VMware Workstation 9 please? I've searched the VMware site and to say it's badly organised is an understatement! I've been able to find general setup guides but nothing with a specific focus on security.
I'm also wondering is there any best practice guides that I should follow when installing Windows 7 Professional and Windows Server 2008 R2 on VMware Workstation 9? I obviously will be implementing Microsofts recommended security best practices but I'd be very interested in any recommendations for virtualizing these operating systems.
Any help is much appreciated.

First mix up your favorite meatball mixture. We like to make mini meatballs with a mixture of lean ground beef, onions, garlic, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Add a little less bread crumbs or bread then you would typically use and make sure any chunky ingredients like onions are minced or cut into very small chunks.
Then sprinkle a cutting board or counter with bread crumbs.
Using about 3/4 cup of meat, roll out a long tube of the meat, coating it in the bread crumbs.
Using a sharp knife, cut it in to roughly 1/2 inch pieces.
Place in a large mesh strainer and sprinkle with more bread crumbs.
Gently toss the meatballs in the crumbs. I suggest doing this over a bowl so you can reuse the excess crumbs on the rest of the meatballs (throw any leftover crumbs out when you are completely finished). After a minute or so, the meatballs should become round and lightly coated on all sides with crumbs. Repeat until all of the meat is gone.
Bake or broil until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve as is, simmer in sauce or add to soup.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) scale is often used by doctors to determine if you are at a healthy weight for your height. BMI is accurate for most people but not all. It may overestimate body fat if you are muscular or athletic and report a high BMI. Likewise, if you have low muscle mass it may underestimate your body fat and report a low BMI.
This tool is not a substitute for talking to your doctor about weight-related health concerns. This test is meant for adult use. It is not accurate for children and teens.

by Michael Caruso
This past weekend's concerts reaffirmed my conviction that Philadelphia is home to one of the most vibrant and varied classical music scenes in the world. I heard a viola/piano recital Friday, March 15, in Chestnut Hill at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, I took in the Philadelphia Orchestra's "Viennese Masters" concert Saturday, March 16, in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall, and I attended Benjamin Britten's opera, "Owen Wingrave," Sunday, March 17, in the Kimmel's Perelman Theatre. How much more could I have done even in New York or London?
Friday evening's recital at St. Paul's Church was the fourth in its series of "Five Fridays: Concerts for the Community." It was presented in collaboration with Astral Artists. Violist Born Lau and pianist Alexandre Moutouzkine were heard in music by Bruch, Prokofiev, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Bach, Ravel, Enescu and Grainger. Although the large roster of composers might lead you to suspect that the program didn't hold together, it did. The programming was exemplary in performance, proving once again how effectively Astral prepares its young charges for successful musical careers.
Brahms' "Sonata for Viola & Piano" was the evening's major work. Composed late in the German master's career, it offers an autumnal mood delineated through poignant lyricism, chromatic thematic development and splendid structural command. Lau, who studies with Roberto Diaz at the Curtis Institute of Music, projected both the resonance of a cello and the brilliance of a violin with his Carl Becker viola, and Moutouzkine provided him with a full-throated collaboration on the church's vintage Steinway piano.
Chrisoph von Dohnanyi mounted the Philadelphia Orchestra's podium for the second weekend in a row to conduct the ensemble in a program consisting of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony No. 8 and Bruckner's "Romantic" Symphony No. 4. Saturday night's performance in Verizon Hall was disappointing considering the maestro's superb reading of Beethoven's "Eroica" Third Symphony the previous Saturday evening.
Von Dohnanyi and the Philadelphians caught the darkly brooding early romanticism of the first movement of Schubert's two-movement masterpiece, flawlessly balancing its melting lyricism against its dramatic development. But he chose so leisurely a tempo for the second movement that its arch of structural cohesion came undone, sometimes to the point of less than immaculate beginnings and endings of phrases.
Bruckner's "Romantic" Symphony is a fine example of the Austrian composer's tendency to compress Wagnerian rhetoric into classical forms. To some degree it works while in others it doesn't. The four-movement symphonic structure was meant to showcase a composer's command over thematic and tonal development. Neither is among Bruckner's strengths. His weaknesses include an inability to bring a developing crescendo to climax and resolution without repeating the approach more times than most can endure. Saturday's performance sounded spectacular, but it fell short of convincing even me, a devout Bruckner lover, that all that excess was really necessary let alone successful.
Sunday afternoon's performance of Benjamin Britten's opera, "Owen Wingrave," reminded me once again how much of a collaborative process presenting an opera really can be, and how easily one of the three basic parts of that process can undermine the other two if it's weak.
Britten based his 1967 opera, commissioned by the BBC, on a story by the novelist Henry James, with a libretto by Myfanwy Piper. It deals with a young man named Owen Wingrave who hails from a family steeped in the military traditions of Great Britain but who has decided not to serve in the nation's armed forces.
I have nothing but praise for Sunday afternoon's performers, and George Manahan's conducting of the Curtis Symphony Orchestra was superb. He elicited playing from his young musicians that was sonically evocative and rhythmically exhilarating. His cast was equally admirable, none more so than baritone Julian Arsenault in the title role.
But Daniel Fish's stage direction betrayed a lack of faith in the quality of the music and the intelligence of his audience that was nearly fatally distracting during the first act and only a tad less so during the second, perhaps out of sheer exhaustion. There was so much busywork onstage around the singers that one had to fight to keep one's focus on the music and the story it delineated, particularly since there were no supertitles. Britten's music can more than take care of itself and should have been allowed to do so. At the very least, Curtis should have known better.

Entering a tomb of a corpse yet conceived
Tighten the tourniquet around your neck Sifting away the debris of hated life
Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine
Seekin' life beyond your perishment
Repeating words echoing through your mind Chanting lines of blind witchery
To save yourself from extinction
Wanting to die is your reason to live
New life born from the oppressed Taste your blood as it trickles through the air
Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall
Losing ground, the fate you feel it draws near
Fatality, reality, await the final call My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity
Vessels in my brain carry death until' my birth
Come and die with me forever hare insanity
Do you want to die? The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies
Turning off my sanity, reaching back into my mind
Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality
What I am, what I want? I'm only after death

Patients prescribed antibiotics in primary care may develop a resistance that lasts up to 12 months, according to research published on bmj.com today.
It is widely recognised that resistance to antibiotics is a major threat to public health. However, according to the researchers, this is not seen by most clinicians or patients as a reason to refrain from using them, with many regarding the problem as minimal.
To address a lack of systematic reviews in the area, the authors analysed 24 existing studies of resistance in individual patients prescribed antibiotics in primary care, mainly for respiratory or urinary infections.
They found strong evidence that individuals prescribed an antibiotic in primary care for a respiratory or urinary infection develop a resistance. The effect is greatest in the month immediately after treatment, but may last for up to a year, and this residual effect may be a driver for high levels of resistance in the community.
The review provides the evidence needed to quantify the link between individual prescribing decisions and the problem of resistance, the authors conclude. They say it highlights that the only way to avoid the "vicious cycle of resistance" is to avoid the initial use of antibiotics wherever possible. However, they also call for more clinical trials to strengthen the evidence base.
In an accompanying analysis, two specialists in economics and health policy argue that new antibiotics to tackle multi-drug resistant bacteria are much needed. They show how financial incentives might be used to persuade drug companies to develop new antibiotics, and suggest that such action needs to be accompanied by efforts to tackle overuse of antibiotics, which is currently fuelling the spread of resistant bacteria.
These views are reiterated in an editorial by three international experts who call for economic strategies to bring new drugs to market, and to conserve existing antibacterials. "Nothing less than the future of medicine, from organ transplants to chemotherapy, is at stake, and there will be no second chances," they conclude.

Highsnobiety Denim Week | Denim on Denim on Denim Lookbook
We continue Denim Week with a denim-heavy lookbook featuring a stellar lineup of Spring/Summer 2014 outfits. See the rest of our Denim Week features here.'
Universally regarded as a fashion faux pas, the Canadian Tuxedo has seen a resurgence of late, in part due to the ongoing nostalgia for the '90s and the choosy consumer's obsession with heritage. To capture this special moment in fashion's cyclical nature, we captured a series of looks based around the world's most recognizable textile.
The first look features a pair of A.P.C.'s Butler jeans while the second is built around Acne's Ace-Ups skinny jeans. Edwin's ED-80 63 Rainbow selvedge jeans and a pair of customized Levi's 1967 505 jeans comprise the following looks and the series is rounded out with Lee's Rider 1952 101Z jeans and Naked & Famous' Super Skinny Guy jeans with a black wax coat.

But it was the Intimacy, a new joint project by Daan Roosegaarde and V2 that became a true hit of the evening. Presented in a cat-walk form, the new electronic dress developed by Daan and designed by Maartje Dijkstra attracted all the eyes in the audience and all the lenses of the photographers.
The technology used in the dress was not, perhaps, the most simple one, but from the interface and interaction point of view it was performing a relatively simple task: the 'fabric' was stayed semi-transparent, almost see-through while the viewers were at certain distance, but became opaque if they were getting closer. The dress was apparently reacting to the physical presence of the people around, but could also be triggered by a special 'interactive ball', an option which many men in the audience were very eager to try (by the way, the model was stunning).
The debates around the concept were quite hot (partly because by then the show lasted almost two hours, in a close room with a hundred of people in). Is this technology is to reveal or to conceal? Is it aimed to free and empower women or to further subordinate them to the men with the interactive balls?
That was says Daan himself:
A lot is happening in the wearable world, but often it's very D.I.Y. I would really like to make something that's quite "slick,†in a good way. I think wearables have enormous potential, but we have to take it to a higher level – for example, by showing that you can use technology to compel intimacy. I really want to add value to electronic culture by bringing it inside other cultural circuits.
I also personally believe that wearables, due to the huge symbolic meaning of clothes, can become one of the most powerful tools for Summ()n' projects.

Problem Solving and Emotional Regulation Training
The goal of this treatment is to improve executive functioning skills and problem solving by using an integrative problem solving/emotional regulation approach. This treatment was designed for people who have mild to moderate cognitive deficits related to Stroke, Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), M.S., Parkinson's Disease. The program is client centered and wellness focused. In our experience, the clients we treat with the diagnosis listed above improve in many areas but often get to a level where their executive functioning and problem solving skills seem to get stuck and what they have learned in treatment does not carryover into their daily lives. Often poor emotional regulation sabotages problem solving and executive functioning skills.
This approach is concrete and gives the client a step-by-step concrete approach to regulate their emotions by being more aware of the emotion, triggers that caused the emotion, sensations they feel, behaviors they exhibit and their self talk and then gives them specific strategies to use to regulate these. They also learn an acronym to use to go through the steps of problem solving where they identify when a problem is occurring, determine/define the problem, brainstorm alternatives, develop a plan and determine how and when to implement the plan and then self-evaluate how effect the plan was and make changes as necessary. In the group setting, the participants not only learn the techniques but they also, help each other brainstorm and work through the techniques while they are all practicing the techniques. Once their emotions are regulated, they are able to problem solve more effectively.
If you would like more information, please feel free to contact us or look up more information about the program on the Mount Sinai Hospital website or the Archives Physical Medicine Rehabilitation.

What is Aphasia?
Aphasia is a disorder that results from damage to the parts of the brain that contain language. Aphasia causes problems with any or all of the following: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
Damage to the left side of the brain causes aphasia for most right-handers and about half of left-handers. Individuals who experience damage to the right side of the brain may have additional difficulties beyond speech and language.
Individuals with aphasia may also have other problems, such as dysarthria, apraxia, or swallowing problems.
What are some signs or symptoms of aphasia?
Some people with aphasia have trouble using words and sentences (expressive aphasia). Some have problems understanding others (receptive aphasia). Others with aphasia struggle with both using words and understanding (global aphasia).
Aphasia can cause problems with spoken language (talking and understanding) and written language (reading and writing). Typically, reading and writing are more impaired than talking or understanding.
Aphasia may be mild or severe. The severity of communication difficulties depends on the amount and location of the damage to the brain.
What is Apraxia of speech?
Apraxia is a general term. It can cause problems in parts of the body, such as arms and legs. Apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder. It is caused by damage to the parts of the brain related to speaking. Other terms include apraxia of speech, acquired apraxia of speech, verbal apraxia, and dyspraxia.
People with apraxia of speech have trouble sequencing the sounds in syllables and words. The severity depends on the nature of the brain damage.
What are some signs or symptoms of apraxia of speech?
People with apraxia of speech know what words they want to say, but their brains have difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words. They may say something completely different, even made up words. For example, a person may try to say "kitchen," but it may come out "bipem" or even "chicken." The person may recognize the error and try again, sometimes getting it right, but sometimes saying something else entirely. This can become quite frustrating for the person. It may be hard to understand a person with apraxia of speech.
Apraxia of speech can be mild or severe. People with apraxia may have difficulty
Apraxia can occur in conjunction with dysarthria (muscle weakness affecting speech production) or aphasia (language difficulties related to neurological damage).
What is Cognition?
Cognition refers to thinking skills. Cognitive difficulties are common in people who have had a concussion, brain injury, stroke on the right side of the brain as well as other neurological deficits. They vary in seriousness depending on the location and severity of the damage.
The following problems may occur:
What is Dysarthria?
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder. The muscles of the mouth, face, and respiratory system may become weak, move slowly, or not move at all after a stroke or other brain injury. The type and severity of dysarthria depend on which area of the nervous system is affected.
Some causes of dysarthria include stroke, head injury, cerebral palsy, and muscular dystrophy. Both children and adults can have dysarthria.
What are some signs or symptoms of dysarthria?
A person with dysarthria may experience any of the following symptoms, depending on the extent and location of damage to the nervous system:

What you should know about Mild TBI
Symptoms Checklist
Many people don't realize there is more to vision than how clearly you see. In addition to acuities, the vision system includes gross ocular skills (how the eyes move and work together) and visual perceptual skills. These components of vision are often impacted by an acquired brain injury including concussion and other neurological deficits.
Symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
Similar to other systems in your body, the visual system can be trained and rehabilitated.

Mild Cognitive Impairment
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a diagnostic category used to describe gradual cognitive decline associated with aging, but distinct from dementia. It can affect memory specifically or other areas of cognition, such as attention, executive function, language, and visuospatial skills.
In cases of MCI, it is often difficult to identify the specific starting point, or the transition from asymptomatic phase to symptomatic phase. Estimates of occurrence in the general population range from 3-17%. There is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding the likelihood of progression to dementia or Alzheimer's Disease(AD), but it is generally thought to be around 10%. Many cases of MCI are stable over time.
The main clinical criteria for MCI diagnosis includes a concern about a change in cognition (memory or non-memory), impairment in one or more cognitive domains that is corroborated by family, generally preserved independence in functional abilities and no significant impairment in social or occupational functioning.
Speech therapy can be beneficial for those diagnosed with MCI. The primary focus would be on education regarding diagnosis and residual strengths, teaching of compensatory strategies, training family members in use of supportive strategies for home carryover, and strengthening the existing "strengths".
