Three boys have been charged with murder - before their alleged victim actually died.
Two 14-year-olds and a 16-year-old will appear in court later today accused of the murder of Rashid Naeem, Scotland Yard said.
Mr Naeem, 29, of Clements Road, East Ham, east London, was stabbed two days ago at Queen's Market in Upton Park, east London.
The youngsters were charged with his murder this morning, before Mr Naeem actually died.
At the time a Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "H is injuries will prove fatal and consequently the three youths have been accused of murder."
The force later issued a statement saying: " Mr Naeem was pronounced dead this morning at Royal London Hospital. A post-mortem examination will be conducted in due course."
The boys will appear at Stratford Juvenile Court later today.

What to do with all those Zucchini Flowers
I'm following up on my promise to those of you who are overwhelmed with zucchini…
Below, what to do with all those zucchini flowers!
Around this time last year I wrote about how to pick zucchini flowers, and gave a basic recipe for frying them. Here are a few of the recipes from my collection (many invented by my dad, Edward Giobbi).
I'll be at the Denver Botanical Gardens on Thursday evening to talk about the Kitchen Ecosystem. I hope I get to meet some of you there!
Zucchini Flower Sauce
Makes 4 cups
1 lb zucchini flowers
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
4 cups chicken stock (homemade or all natural low sodium)
1/2 teaspoon saffron, soaked in a tablespoon of warm water for a few minutes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Check the insides of the zucchini flowers for insects. Unless you have reason to believe the plants were sprayed with insecticides, do not wash. Coarsely chop.

(Originally posted on the Inside BlackBerry Blog)
A recurring theme to the conversations I've been having with people in the wireless industry lately is the need for enterprises to better manage the dual personas of the modern employee: their work persona, and their play persona (my personal favorite persona). The software teams here at Research In Motion (RIM) are aware of this need and are working to address it by providing enterprises with the necessary tools via the BlackBerry® platform. I was able to catch up with Santiago Carbonell, a Handheld Software Product Manager at RIM, who is one of the people working on a new feature coming to the BlackBerry platform to do just that. Check out the interview below!
You're working on a new feature coming to the BlackBerry platform. What's the story behind this feature and what does it do?
Over the past 10 years, smartphones have been a huge boon to enterprises because they enable employees to take their work with them wherever they go. In the past few years, however, smartphones have started allowing us to take our personal life anywhere, through things like social networking applications and rich multimedia features.
This has led to a trend we're seeing in the enterprise space right now, and that's personal-liable devices, or BYODs ("Bring Your Own Device"). People are buying smartphones for that rich personal experience, but then looking to bring that smartphone into the office to take their work with them as well. What we're working on is building a platform of coexistence between these two lives on one device.
That sounds cool, but what do you mean by coexistence?
Enterprises understandably need to be very protective of their corporate data and communications, and the BlackBerry platform has always allowed that information to be mobilized securely and efficiently through a robust set of IT policies. These policies allow enterprises to control virtually every aspect of the smartphone, down to whether or not personal email addresses or 3rd party applications can be added. This helps to prevent security no-no's like data leakage, where confidential information sent to the smartphone via a work email is then shared via a personal email address or through some other application.
However, this means that in the interests of corporate security, some BlackBerry smartphone users can't add their personal email accounts, access Facebook® or download 3rd party applications. RIM recognizes that enterprise employees are also consumers and we want to stay ahead of the curve by allowing those employees to do their jobs, but also take advantage of all the rich consumer-focused features that are a part of the BlackBerry smartphone.
So, for example, the average employee will be able to respond to that urgent email from their boss, but then a minute later be able to check up on their kids over BlackBerry® Messenger or Facebook, because their employer is comfortable with the security measures protecting their sensitive data.
So it's a win for the company and the user, because they both get what they want.
Yep. =D Enterprises can then allow employees with their own BlackBerry smartphones to bring them into the office at no cost using products like BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express. The employee gets access to all their corporate services (work email, work calendar… etc.) and is still able to enjoy using their BlackBerry smartphone in their personal life because the security concerns are addressed.
Without giving away the secret sauce, how is this going to work? Will the BlackBerry smartphone user notice anything different?
Really what we're working on is keeping the enterprise data where it belongs. That means sensitive information like emails or important business contacts can stay highly secure and controlled. This is all happening in the background of the platform, so the BlackBerry smartphone user won't really notice anything different. However, if they try to do something their company would deem unacceptable with that data, the platform is designed to help prevent it from happening and notify the user.
Thanks for this! I'm looking forward to grilling you for more information as it becomes available to put on Inside BlackBerry.
No problem!

RCRA Cleanup Reforms
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
Since 1984, EPA and other authorized states have made considerable progress in implementing the Corrective Action requirements. Despite the progress made, states, environmental groups, and the regulated community have raised concerns, including: slow progress in achieving cleanup or other environmental results; an emphasis on process and reports over actual work in the field; unrealistic, impractical or overly conservative cleanup goals; and lack of meaningful public participation.
Because of various reasons raised by many stakeholders, the Agency believes that it is time for a fundamental re-evaluation of its Corrective Action Program. This re-evaluation comes in the form of the RCRA Cleanup Reforms.

|Blackboard Analytics
Blackboard Analytics is here on the campus of North Carolina Central University!
What is Blackboard Analytics?
Blackboard Analytics (BbA) is a business analysis tool that allows NCCU to monitor and measure student success factors as outlined in our 2020 Strategic Plan. This highly sophisticated reporting software will enable us to run reports and display dashboard metrics that will identify key statistics such as counts and percentages for student retention, student progression, course loads, class utilization and graduation. It will also provide us with drill down capabilities to identify specific student information such as individual course load, SAT/ACT scores, high school graduation information, GPA's and etc. In short, Blackboard Analytics will allow NCCU to stay abreast of our students' progression, both as individuals and varying demographics, throughout the college lifecycle (recruiting, admissions, enrollment/registration, retention and ultimately graduation.)
How Does Blackboard Analytics Help NCCU?
This reporting tool is key in pulling information from Banner and allows approved users the capability to view functional analytical reports to ensure NCCU stays on top of its strategic goals and will know which particular areas to focus on moving forward. Deloris Gee, the Project Leader along with the Project Team (comprised of key functional people across the campus) has worked diligently with Blackboard Analytics and is excited about its great potential for NCCU.
When Can We Access Blackboard Analytics?
Our Phase 1 Go-Live Date is May 14, 2013. This rollout is for select approved users on campus. The Phase 1 Rollout of the Student Module includes:

Associate Director of Admission/Campus Visits
+1 630 637 5810
Favorite thing about North Central:
Location, Location, Location! With the campus in beautifiul and historic downtown Naperville, North Central is in a prime location. In addition, the train station just north of campus is great for accessing all of Chicagoland! This gives our campus a much bigger feel and allows for an unlimited amount of opportunities for internships, research, jobs, and entertainment.
My other favorite thing is that our academic year is on Trimesters. This boils down to less classes at a time! This effectively allows for students to get involved in many different things at once such as work, clubs, sports, double majors, etc. In addition, students have a 6 week break between Thanksgiving and New Years where they can choose to: go home to enjoy the holidays with family and friends, take an extra class, participate in service trips like working in an orphanage in Haiti or Hurricane Sandy Relief in New York, study abroad for 3 weeks, do an internship, do research with a professor, or simply work.
Words I use to describe North Central students:
Informed, Involved, Principled, Productive, Leaders
Why did I choose to become an admission counselor/staff member at North Central?
I really enjoyed my time here as a student-athlete on the basketball team and as a Graduate Assistant Basketball Coach. There is a great environment here at NCC and I am proud to be a part of it as well as expose others to everything that North Central has to offer.
Favorite Naperville Restaurant:
Front Street Cantina and Heaven on Seven
Favorite Season in Naperville:
Advice to Students:
Get Involved! There are so many great opportunities at NCC, in Naperville, and in Chicago that our students are accessible to so take advantage of them!
Accepted Seniors:

Anastasia's tenth year has some good things, like falling in love and really getting to know her grandmother, and some bad things, like finding out about an impending baby brother.
Twelve-year-old Anastasia is horrified at her family's decision to move from their city apartment to a house in the suburbs.
Chronically short of cash, twelve-year-old Anastasia looks for a job and finds more than she bargained for.
Anastasia's seventh-grade science project becomes almost more than she can handle, but brother Sam, age three, and a bust of Freud nobly aid her.
When her mother is called out of town, Anastasia and her father set about to prove that running a house is actually easier than it seems.
Anastasia continues the perilous process of growing up, as her thirteenth year involves conquering the art of rope climbing, playing Cupid for a recently widowed uncle, and surviving a crush on her gym teacher.
In her seventh adventure, the irrepressible Anastasia decides that charm school is the answer to her career dilemmas.
Anastasia Krupnik answers a personal ad, and by stretching the truth, finds herself in quite a predicament when the special "he" wants to meet her.

The conference will bring together about 300 participants from across the EU, including policy-makers, specialists and practitioners from the local to the international level, including Member State and EU officials, local authorities, intergovernmental organisations, specialised human rights bodies, professional associations, social partners and civil society organisations, including those representing the rights of irregular migrants.
The FRC promotes innovative policies, promising practices as well as future and on-going projects through practice-oriented workshops, marketplace of ideas and interactive plenary sessions. FRA's EU-wide research on the situation of irregular migrants will inform the discussions.
The following video highlights the challenges faced by irregular migrants in the European Union.
The key objectives of this year's FRC are:
- Inform debate among specialists, practitioners and policy-makers at EU and national level about the situation of irregular migrants across the 27 Member States and raise awareness about the need to develop appropriate policies and practices that guarantee the rights of irregular migrants.
- Discuss practical follow-up to the FRA research on this issue, with a view to promote the mainstreaming of fundamental rights standards into migration management.

Product Description
Flax Seed Oil Plant Manufacturer refining of vegetable oils is essential to ensure removal of gums, waxes, phosphatides and free fatty acid (F. F.A.) from the oil; to impart uniform colour by removal of colouring pigments and to get rid of unpleasant smell from the oil by removal of odiferous matter. Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. refining is carried out either on batch operation or as continuous operation. With certain 1-10TPH palm fruit bunch oil process plant oils even physical refining can be carried out instead of chemical. For processing less than thirty tones of oil per 24 hours, and when oil has F.F .A. content of 1 % or less normally batch process is recommended. Flax Seed Oil Plant Manufacturer batch process involves low capital investment, simplicity of operation and low maintenance, making refining economically a viable proposition even at capacity as low as 10 tonnes per 24 hours of 1-10TPH palm fruit bunch oil process plant.

palm oil machine
Palm fruit initially grew in west Africa, while it was immigrated to Asia to be planted to the most. Nowadays, Malaysia has the largest planting plantation and Indonesia the second. As time goes on, our eating habit is changing everyday, palm fruit oil has been our mainly daily edible oil instead of soybean oil and rapeseed oil. Palm fruit is productive, with the right climate, which is tropical climate, and a lot of rain, the palm fruit can grow very well.In Malaysia and Indonesia, plantations are big, In Africa and Middle America, the plantations are expanding day by day,people are waiting to plant large area palm fruit to produce more oil and make good fortune.
In order to meet the different kinds of market, we have researched and designed some different technologies and equipment for different customers, we have large lines for 40-80TPH,middle lines for 20-40TPH, and small lines for 1-20TPH. We have finished both big and small lines in Africa, America and in South Asia.

Price: $45,280 as tested
Marketer's pitch: "This sucks," says the broken crayon to the old lollipop, animal cracker, toy soldier, gummy and piece of popcorn. Just before the vacuum hose sucks them up.
Conventional wisdom: Edmunds.com likes the "agile handling; fuel-efficient V6; quiet cabin; configurable second-row seat; easy-to-fold third-row seat," but not that it's "pricier than some competitors."
Reality: Not bad for a box.
Family unit: It's been around 30 years since Chrysler introduced the modern American front-wheel drive minivan with the Dodge Caravan. Since then the choices multiplied considerably and then divided once more. Now, Honda and Toyota have become top box, although today that has all the cache of a Caribbean cruise or relaxed-fit pants. But when you've spent more than 20 years carting around Sturgis Kid 1.0 through 4.0, one learns it's the only way to take everyone and everything — from diapered youngsters to college dormsters.
Cleaning up: Anyone who's ever passed a Sturgis minivan in a parking lot has watched the debris fall out every time the sliding doors open. It's like a Warner Brothers cartoon closet. And so the onboard vacuum was so obvious that it took 30 years for designers to think it up.
Thirteen-year-old Sturgis Kid 4.0 and I found it does the job quite well. It has an actual ShopVac inside the rear compartment wall complete with tools, a filter and a small bag, and plenty of suction to pick up the toughest dirt. This only comes on the Touring Elite, and that price above is the no-options, bargain-basement version. Ouch.
As a minivan veteran, I'm sorry I didn't think of this first, although after some trips I think a rubber floor, hose and drain would be more appropriate.
On the road: It's not all about the kids, right? Mom and Dad still want to feel a bit of racer in them, and the Odyssey serves up enough pep — 248 horses are brewed by the 3.5-liter V6 — to make driving, well, at least not terrible.
On the curves: The Odyssey handled best of the three. It's not a Miata, but then you don't have to slowly pour yourself into the Odyssey like it's a voyage on the Yellow Submarine. And you can bring along six more friends. The Odyssey handles much better than most large crossovers I've tested as well.
Shifty: The downside? The transmission selector only offers D, OD off and L, not the full range of gears.
Driver comfort: If Mom or Dad can't have fun, at least they'll be comfortable. The Odyssey Driver's Seat was not too heavy in the lumbar support like many Hondas.
Room for the family: This is where minivans have it all over crossovers — if you need room for real people in the back, all three have it. The Odyssey rear seat lands about in the middle of the three. Foot room is kind of tough and the seat sits a little low to the floor. The middle row does slide back and forth, which helps make the most of available space. And all but the bare-bones Odyssey offer seating for eight.
Technology: Plenty of places to plug in HDMI and 12V, as expected.
Stuff: The minivans all average about 150 cubic feet of space behind the front seats, which is head and shoulders (and futons and boxes) over any crossover or SUV. The Chevy Traverse-Buick Enclave cousins win that category, at a slight 116 cubes.
A big bin between seats is almost too big; put in just a couple CDs and they clatter around as you drive. And the rear DVD player sits in the dashboard, taking valuable cubby space from this area. A pull-out tray holds cell phones and other devices.
The seats come up and fold down very easily.
Keeping cozy: The heater controls are on top of the dashboard with the seat heater controls right over them. Buttons operate the fan, while dials control temperature on each side. I prefer all dials.
Radio gaga: The radio controls irk. Until you get presets arranged, it's touch the screen to change the station, then again to change source. It's really hard to do on the fly.
The navigation is on a separate screen, offering far and away one of the worst views of Earth I've ever seen. I found it hard to get around unless I was zoomed up to the closest level. And the map controls are at the bottom of the console, while the map sits on the other end of the heater controls and radio controls. Confusing.
Night shift: The interior lights interfere with night driving a bit.
Fuel economy: 21 mpg.
Where it's built: Lincoln, Ala.
How it's built: Consumer Reports puts its predicted reliability at only average, which is the rating it's received for most of the last several years.

Now however, things are different. What with it being the 21st century and all, with middle aged men routinely doing such things as changing nappies, cooking at home and using moisturiser, they buy bicycles.
Not just any bicycles though, bikes made of such things as carbon fibre that cost more than their child's university fees. These are the new (lightweight) penis extensions of 2012. Stiffness is paramount apparently, as is lots of gears for smooth transmission of power (good in an older man), and hardness (even better) in the tyres.
To ride on these bikes, they need special 'kit' of course, made of very expensive merino wool (presumably the bits leftover from what China doesn't want) and 'technical fibres' (?) which carefully blend dour hi-tech seriousness with romantic retro nostalgia. It's the ageing intellectual hipster version of wearing a 1966 England shirt. Think grainy black and white pictures of grizzling old farts riding their bicycles up mountains. Fifty something AA Gill weekend wear.
Now, in order to buy this they need a brand. No good popping down to Sports Direct and buying some chavvy Adidas kit. No no no, these guys are more used to shopping in Paul Smith. What they need is a brand finely tuned to their refined tastes, something that hides their insecurities and presents them as the taste conscious sexy active man they spent years trying to convince their wives they were before she gave up being sexy herself and started wearing flat shoes.
Thankfully they have a brand. This brand is Rapha.
Rapha this year opened a little shop in Brewer Street, stocking all the gear a neo-metrosexual, badger-greying, sensitive new old-man bicycling boy could want. Scented bum cream, man-bags, little hats that look like their old public school caps, the lot. And as is the fashion nowadays, they have put in a little cafe. I mean, who can go more than two minutes these days without needing to stop for an artisan coffee?
So, on reading a few blogs and tweets (such as Faerietale Foodie's post and The Perfect Trough's post), and being not far from the apex of SWOHO ('South-west Soho' - yes, I've heard it referred to as that) Quadrant 3, where of course I do all my shopping in Wholefoods with the sprightly Californians buying colon-cleaning kits, I decided to pop in and see what it was all about.
Well, the staff are very friendly, the owners seem to have read the current 'how to open an urban artisan cafe' (don't worry, my post is coming) checklist, plenty of wacky, carefree girls and gentle beardy menfolk who are keen to help. I asked what was good and had a beef brioche bun thing, which sounded great but turned out to be a brioche (what else?) bun alright, with a tiny smear of some kind of beef stew inside it. It was suggested to be served with ketchup, (which I think may have been Wilkin & Sons, which everyone knows tastes like Heinz that's been left out all night). I was glad of the posh ketchup, as once I'd finished the measly smear of beef gravy I needed something to moisten the bread. A cup of tea helped (I nearly nicked the cool cup and saucer, and at £2.50 I wouldn't have felt guilty). I probably ordered the wrong thing and everyone will tell me I should have had the nice looking focaccia type sandwiches or the 'dunking biscuit' instead, but I was going on recommendation by the staff!
They are obviously very serious about coffee (as everyone seems to be these days, Australian accent or not) and offer only espresso which for the 'special' at £3 for a single shot is quite a lot in my opinion. I mean, it's only a few coffee beans, isn't it? How expensive are they? And studying the menu, a double is £3.50 (not £6? I don't get that, are we saying it costs £3 to construct it?) and milk is a further 50p, making a cup of coffee potentially £4.
Anyway it's so bourgeois to be moaning about the price. Pah! You can't put a price on quality, integrity, design, location etc right? And no-one who comes into Rapha gives a shit about prices, especially when you've just spent £200 on some paunch-reducing lycra cycling shorts and titanium hair-loss cream.

You Blew It! might be one of the last great hold-outs in the emo revival that took over the last decade. More sane than Algernon Cadwallader, less sonically-spacious than Cap'n Jazz, YBI! cherrypicks from 90's emo and indie in a fashion that many have aimed for but few have achieved. These cat-loving, taco-eating dudes have been holding it down in their native Orlando scene since February 2009. Since then, they've had enough lineup changes to see something like twelve members come and go all while completing four out-of-state tours and a few notable gigs with The Get Up Kids.
They have two releases under their belts, including a self-released, self-titled EP in 2009 and The Past In Present EP in the following year (Good Friends Records). Their upcoming full-length, Grow Up, Dude, will be released in April 2012.

Big feelings, big sound.
Noticeably cleaner and more purposeful ... the grown-up sonics only make the underlying, pound-the-dashboard, yell-to-yourself sentiments all the more loud and clear.
[H]as an edge that's simultaneously louder and cleaner ... an urgency and immediacy previously unheard from the band ... will ultimately stand the test of time.
-Punknews (4/5)
[A] brand of punk rock that's more complex and cathartic than the Get Up Kids.
-Orlando Music News
...it initially struck me as solid indie rock with a bit of a punk finish...Sure, that's all there, but there's something else, too. This record gets under your skin, all clever and compelling.
-The Ruckus
If you are a fan of rough around the edges yet still "pretty" twinkly emo then You Blew It! might be your new favorite band.

2012 will be the year of You Blew It!

Still investigating "Betrayal in the Ranks"
Today, when I read this story about the U.S. Senate investigating sexual assaults in our armed forces, I thought back to The Denver Post's special report on the exact same issue 10 years ago. I wondered if we still had that series – called "Betrayal in the Ranks" – available on our website.
The project, which two reporters worked on exclusively for 9 months, was one of the Post's most ambitious. This was also one of our first opportunities to incorporate the web in the storytelling.
Unfortunately, it looks like most of the work has expired … lost to old servers and new content management systems, but I was able to track down the flash presentation – so cutting edge in 2003, quite dated now – via the Way Back Machine. We incorporated lots of online extras, some of which are still accessible, some not.
We also used a tool called the Digital Newsbook to create the print product in a mildly digital way. This presentation is still available in its entirety.
There was a flurry of Congressional and Pentagon activity looking into The Post's claims after the series ran. With today's Senate hearings, it appears that the problem remains as serious as ever.

Back in the day when I got to go into the mission-field, we still had missionary farewells. I am glad they have done away with them and now they are just "opportunities to speak before leaving for the mission." Although they are more formal affairs than I think the church would still want them to be. Many still have open houses, and we were no exception. My Grandmother was kind enough to open up her home and invite in the community for all the well-wishing that one could gush.
This is the only picture I have from the entire day. There are probably more out there. My camera is somewhere in an evidence box somewhere and has not been returned. It is likely the film was developed. Maybe some day I will get to see it. Maybe there are others out there that I will yet see someday.
The day turned out to be bittersweet. The best of friends, the worst of nightmares. But at least I was surrounded by good friends and family.

While the state Supreme Court has put California redevelopment agencies out of business, the legal kicking and screaming may not be over.
Growing indications are that cities and counties with urban renewal programs are looking at bringing more lawsuits, in hopes of forestalling "babies being thrown out with the bathwater," as the common refrain goes.
At 13th Avenue and F Street in a blighted area of downtown San Diego, the municipality's Centre City Development Corp. already has spent millions of dollars buying up most of the block for a park to be known as East Village Green.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The park has been touted as a magnet for further residential and commercial investment in the neighborhood.
But does CCDC now just sit on the property until market forces make its acquisition costs bearable to new, private buyers?
Write it off?
Or put up a fight?
"If you think about the situation right now in California, it's crazy," said David Steinberg, law professor at the nearby Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
"You have projects where a lot of money is sunk into the project, and now you're just all of a sudden going to pull the plug?" Steinberg asked. "It really doesn't make any sense."
So much for East Village Green, its four planned acres of parkland surrounded by a vast concrete jungle of rundown buildings, many of them vacant.
The only operating business left on the block is a home furnishings and accessories store that's under a year-to-year lease -- and may still be for some time to come, now that redevelopment is dead in the eyes of the state of California.
But is it just dead "on paper," issued late last month by the state Supreme Court?
Docket sheets for Tuesday's closed-door executive session of the San Diego City Council show that municipal lawyers are looking into the prospect of suing the state for "declaratory" and "injunctive" relief.
Steinberg says such actions would be a long shot, but that the costly, time-consuming legal process -- and concerns about adverse outcomes -- might prod lawmakers to restore some redevelopment powers.
"Maybe not with the kind of funding they had," Steinberg said. "Maybe with only some projects funded, and some not."
If so, there may well be a fight over money for the proposed Bayside fire station in the Little Italy district of downtown San Diego, where $2.5 million in CCDC funds have been spent on land for what critics call a $21 million "Ferrari of firehouses."
Should the project be funded, but scaled down to more modest specifications and costs, half a loaf may beat none at all for CCDC and Little Italy residents.
Then, in court, there's the legal long shot.
"This is a controversial decision," Steinberg said. "You may find a judge who decides not to follow the law, who simply rejects the Supreme Court ruling -- or interprets it, or distinguishes it in some way.
"To say, 'Wait a minute, there still is this funding that may exist.' Stranger things have happened."
Citing confidentiality laws, San Diego attorneys and officials had no comment on what came out of Tuesday's closed-door discussions on "potential initiation" of lawsuits against the state and "related entities".
But it would seem naive to think they left saying, "Forget it -- let's just go to Sacramento and beg for mercy on bended knee."

I have always loved my heavy carbohydrate breakfasts. I honestly only started eating eggs in the past few years, so for me, it was always about French toast, waffles, oatmeal, you get the picture. But, I have found a way to have my pancakes and eat them too. Well, obviously. These pancakes are ricotta based and made with nut flour, therefore they are gluten free. I use hazelnut flour, which gives them a very nice texture and a slightly nutty taste, which really works with the ricotta. You can use whatever gluten free flour you like though or regular white or whole wheat flour if you have no gluten allergy.They are light and fluffy and the edges get nice and crispy, just the way that I like my pancakes. These are fantastic for anyone. If you are allergic to gluten or if you're on a low carb diet, you can enjoy these and they will satisfy you just as much as classic pancakes.
I have to tell you, I've served these to a lot of people. I've never said a word about the ingredients and I've always gotten rave reviews. No one has suspected a thing. They think they are just regular buttermilk pancakes.If you are not watching your sugar intake you can have them with a little drizzle of maple syrup or honey and if you are, I like to whip together a little ricotta with a splash of milk and vanilla extract and serve it on top or serve with a nice pat of butter or a dash of cinnamon. Anyway you have, I guarantee you will love them.
Ricotta Pancakes½ cup of hazelnut flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cups of ricotta cheese
4 eggs
4 tablespoons of butter (Two for the batter and two for the griddle)
First, heat a nonstick griddle over medium-high heat. Then, separate your yolks and whites. Mix together the flour, vanilla, ricotta, and yolks in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Beat your egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture. Put the butter on the griddle. You can make these pancakes as big or as small as like. Cook each side for around 2-3 minutes. Eat them while they are still nice and warm. Please let me know what you think, I love to hear from you all! Buon Appetito!!

Mariners, A's agree to postpone doubleheader
OAKLAND -- With Friday night's game at O.co Coliseum deemed unplayable because of poor field conditions, the Mariners and A's will make up that contest later in the season when Seattle returns on one of its remaining visits.
Mariners player representative Charlie Furbush said Saturday that the exact makeup date remains to be determined, but it will most likely be a doubleheader on May 5, the first day Seattle returns to Oakland for a three-game series.
The two teams are also scheduled for a Sept. 1-3 series in Oakland.
Friday night's postponement was the Mariners' first rainout since May 15, 2011 at Cleveland. The last time Seattle was rained out in Oakland was April 10, 1982.
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said the mushy infield, created when a heavy rain fell Thursday night in Oakland after the A's grounds crew didn't put a tarp over the infield, was one of the worst field conditions he'd ever seen.
"I've never had a game canceled for that particular reason," McClendon said Saturday. "I almost turned my ankle [walking across the infield]. It was that bad. It was just not safe."
The makeup situation in such a postponement is up to the players union. Furbush said the A's initially wanted to play a doubleheader on Saturday, but they quickly agreed to delay it until a later date after the Mariners pushed for that idea.
"It was kind of interesting talking to everyone, trying to figure out what the best game plan was," Furbush said. "I was just trying to represent everyone as best as I could. Once we realized, given the playing conditions, that playing one [Saturday] was going to be better for us and wait until we come back to play two, that was the general consensus and that's the way it worked out."
Furbush said players' safety was the foremost concern.
"Part of it was just the playing conditions," Furbush said. "Lloyd went out there and almost twisted his ankle. It was pretty bad. You don't want anybody going out there getting hurt. I think the outfield was OK, but the infield, where a lot of hard cuts are being made, that's going to put the safety of everyone in question. So I think it worked out good."

A new 911 brings a new superbattle. And this time it's C2 vs C2S vs 911 Turbo with some Japanese and Italian stalwarts thrown in for good measure.
This is right after the 997 911s came out, so the comparison between the more powerful C2S and it's little C2 brother are worthwhile. Also, it's worth it to see if the naturally aspirated 997s are faster than their older brother, the 996 Turbo.
Take to the track and find out.

MAPPR map showing variations in the average length of growing period
Climate is the expression of the normal ranges and dominant, repeated patterns of temperature, rainfall and associated radiation, humidity and wind regimes that prevail at any given location. Most approaches to describing climate rely on the analysis of long-run means of monthly, seasonal or annual climatic variables. The Koeppen schema and FAO's Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ) approach are the most widely-used climate classification approaches. HarvestChoice makes extensive use of the AEZ method in the qualitative assessment of, for example, the suitability of geographic areas for the production of specific crops or for the application of specific production interventions.
Weather, by contrast, reflects the short-term variation of climate variables in both time and space, typically monitored on an hourly or daily basis. Weather-related phenomena include extreme events such as rainstorms, heat waves, frost, and droughts. In HarvestChoice, we use weather data (typically time series of monthly or daily variables) extensively in simulating the growth of crops (using cropping system growth simulation models such as DSSAT and APSIM that operate on a daily time step) as well as in assessing the potential prevalence and persistence of biotic stresses (using the CLIMEX model).

The /r/ sound is one of the most difficult to teach in therapy. Several of my children struggle to produce the /r/ sound appropriately. Because of this, I wanted to see what other speech-language pathologists were doing during their treatment. I found out some new and interesting techniques that I am definitely going to try with my clients!
- Auditory Bombardment– One technique, called auditory bombardment, involves the child listening to a repetitive and intense list of words including the targeted sound (in this case, the /r/). This evidence based procedure is supposed to assist children in their rate of sound development.
- Imitation– This technique may seem obvious ("I keep modeling a good /r/ but they just aren't appropriately imitating). Another option would be to have the child imitate certain animal sounds that are fun to make and may ease the child's pressure of trying to model the sound appropriately. Some good animals to imitate are tigers (roarrrrrr), dogs (ruff, ruff), or birds (chirp, chirp).
- Incorporate mirrors– Although the /r/ sound is hard to see with a mirror, I always like to incorporate them into my therapy sessions to increase awareness of mouth, tongue and lip movements.
- Jaw movement– I often ask my clients to produce the /L/ sound. While they are doing this, I then model how to gently pull their jaws down until the /r/ sound is eventually reached.
There are plenty of other techniques to produce the /r/ sound, but these are the three that I find the most useful. Have any other techniques you want to share?

Depression is a common emotional illness that varies widely in its intensity. Many of the natural treatments described in this section have been evaluated in people with major depression of mild to moderate intensity. This apparently contradictory language indicates a level of clinical depression that is significantly more intense than simply feeling "blue," but not as disabling as major depression of severe intensity, which usually requires hospitalization.
Typical symptoms of major depression of mild to moderate severity include depressed mood, lack of energy, sleep problems, anxiety, appetite disturbance, difficulty concentrating, and poor stress tolerance. Irritability can also be a sign of depression.
More severe depression includes markedly depressed mood complicated by symptoms such as slowed speech, slowed (or agitated) responses, markedly impaired memory and concentration, excessive (or diminished) sleep, significant weight loss (or weight gain), intense feelings of worthlessness and guilt, recurrent thoughts of suicide, and lack of interest in pleasurable activities. This form of clinical depression is a dangerous and excruciating illness. The emotional structure of the brain has frozen into a pattern of misery that cannot be altered by willpower, a change of scenery, or the most earnest efforts of friends. In a sense, the brain has locked up like a crashed computer.
One of the earliest successful treatments for major depression was shock therapy. This technique is in some ways analogous to rebooting a computer, and in cases of major depression, its effects were revolutionary. For the first time, a reliable way was available to bring people out of the depths of severe major depression.
However, shock treatment was overused at first and became unpopular as a result. The accidental discovery of antidepressant drugs provided a route with fewer interventions. The original antidepressants, known as MAO inhibitors, could bring people out from the depths of major depression as successfully as shock treatment. However, MAO inhibitors can cause serious and even fatal side effects. No one would ever think of using MAO inhibitors to treat mild to moderate depression.
Subsequently, antidepressants with progressively fewer side effects came on the market, but most of them still caused significant fatigue. Since fatigue is one of the most characteristic symptoms of mild to moderate depression, such medications were seldom found useful for anything other than severe depression. With the appearance of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of antidepressants, however, suddenly there was a practical option for depression that was less than catastrophic. Practically overnight, enormous numbers of people began taking Prozac and similar drugs for mild to moderate depression, as well as for the related, but more mild condition, known as dysthymia.
The big advantage of the SSRIs is that they usually don't cause severe fatigue. Many people find them to be entirely side effect-free. However, side effects are not uncommon and include sexual disturbances (such as impotence in men and the loss of the ability to experience an orgasm in women), insomnia, and nervousness. The antidepressant drug Wellbutrin is an option for people who have sexual side effects from SSRIs.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Alternative medicine offers numerous options for treating depression, but only one has strong scientific evidence behind it: the herb St. John's wort.
What Is the Scientific Evidence for St. John's Wort?
Numerous double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have examined the effectiveness of St. John's wort for the treatment of mild to moderate major depression, and most have found the herb more effective than placebo. 1-6,123,135,155 In addition, at least 8 studies have found that St. John's wort is at least as effective as standard antidepressants, including fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), and paroxetine (Paxil). 7-9,124,125,136,137,148,192 A 2008 detailed review of 29 randomized, placebo controlled trials found that St. Johns wort was consistently more effective than placebo and equally effective to standard antidepressants. 180 The total number of patients in these trials runs into the several thousands and compares favorably to the evidence-base for approved drugs. St. John's wort has also shown a bit of promise for severe major depression, but the evidence is quite limited. 137, 158
Note: St. John's wort alone should never be relied on for the treatment of severe depression.
Much has been made of two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials performed in the United States that failed to find St. John's wort more effective than placebo for mild to moderate depression 5,123 However, two studies cannot overturn a body of positive research. Approximately 35% of double-blind studies involving pharmaceutical antidepressants have also failed to find the active agent significantly more effective than placebo. 123 As if to illustrate this, in the more recent of the two trials in which St. John's wort failed to prove effective, the drug sertraline (Zoloft) also failed to prove effective. The reason for these negative outcomes is not that Zoloft (or Prozac, or any other drug) does not work. Rather, statistical effects can easily hide the benefits of a drug, especially in a condition like depression where there is as a high placebo effect and no truly precise method for measuring symptoms.
St. John's wort seldom causes immediate side effects. However, it interacts adversely with a large number of critical medications and may present other safety issues as well. For more information, see the full St. John's Wort article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
There are a number of other herbs and supplements that may be helpful in depression, although the evidence for them is nowhere near as strong as that for St. John's wort.
In the body, the vitamin folate works in tandem with SAMe. Observational studies have suggested that depressed people have reduced folate levels, and a bit of evidence hints that folate supplements may help alleviate depression. 90-96,162 In addition, people with particularly low folate levels may respond poorly to antidepressants. 97,138
Based on these findings, a study examined the effects of combining folate with antidepressant treatment. 98 This 10-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 127 people with severe major depression found that folate supplements at a dose of 500 mcg daily significantly improved the effectiveness of fluoxetine (Prozac) in female participants. Improvement in male participants was not significant, but blood tests conducted during the study suggest that higher intake of folate might be necessary for men.
Folate has also been paired with vitamin B 12 . In one study, over 900 older adults with mild depression were randomized to different treatment groups. One of the groups took folate (400 mcg) and B 12 (100 mcg) daily for 2 years. Folate and vitamin B 12 were no better than placebo at improving their depressive symptoms. 184
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Folate article.
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe)
The supplement S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) has been widely marketed for the treatment of depression, but the evidence to indicate that it works remains incomplete.
Several double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have found SAMe effective in relieving depression; 70,71 however, most were small and poorly reported. In addition, many used injected SAMe rather than the oral supplement. Furthermore, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 133 depressed people, actually failed to find intravenous SAMe more effective than placebo. 72 (Researchers managed to find some benefit to report by resorting to questionable statistical manipulation of the data.)
In addition to placebo-controlled studies, several trials have compared SAMe against antidepressant drugs in the tricyclic family . 73-79,127 Again, many of these studies were poorly reported and designed, or they used injected SAMe rather than the oral supplement. Of the studies using oral SAMe, the best was a 6-week, double-blind trial of 281 people with mild depression. 73 The results showed that SAMe was about as effective as the drug imipramine. However, the lack of a placebo group in this trial makes the results less than fully reliable. Other small studies have also compared the benefits of oral or intravenous SAMe to those of tricyclic antidepressants and have found generally equivalent results, although, again, poor reporting and inadequacies of study design (such as too limited a treatment interval) mar the meaningfulness of the outcomes. 74-79
Researchers have also studied the effectiveness of oral SAMe in combination with antidepressants. Seventy-three patients with treatment-resistant major depression were randomized to take SAMe (800 mg twice daily) or a placebo. 187 Both groups continued to take their selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Adding SAMe to the treatment increased the rate at which patients responded to their antidepressant medication.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full S-adenosylmethionine article.
Ginkgo is used mainly for age-related mental decline such as that from Alzheimer's disease . However, during the studies on impaired mental function, researchers frequently observed improvements in mood and relief from symptoms of depression. This incidental discovery led scientists to investigate whether ginkgo might be useful as an antidepressant treatment.
One double-blind study, published in 1990, evaluated this effect in 60 people who suffered from depressive symptoms along with other signs of dementia. 63 The results showed significant improvements among participants given ginkgo extract instead of placebo.
Another study followed 40 depressed people over the age of 50 who had not responded successfully to antidepressant treatment. 64 Those who were given ginkgo showed an average drop of 50% in scores on the Hamilton Depression scale, whereas the placebo group showed only a 10% improvement.
In 1994 an interesting piece of research was reported that may shed light on the mechanism by which ginkgo may reduce depression. 65 This study examined levels of serotonin receptors in rats of various ages. When older rats were given ginkgo, the level of serotonin-binding sites increased. However, the same effect was not observed in younger rats. The researchers theorized that ginkgo may block an age-related loss of serotonin receptors. Reduced receptors for serotonin may mean that the body needs more serotonin to produce a normal effect. Thus, ginkgo might improve the brain's ability to respond to serotonin (at least in older people). However, this is still highly speculative.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Ginkgo article.
Phenylalanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that we all consume in our daily diets. There is some evidence that phenylalanine supplements may help reduce symptoms of depression.
Phenylalanine occurs in a right-hand and a left-hand form, known as D- and L-phenylalanine, respectively. Some studies have evaluated the D form, and others have evaluated a mixture of the D and L forms. Both formulations may provide some measure of relief for symptoms of depression. The mixed form (DLPA) is the one most commonly available in stores.
A 1978 study compared the effectiveness of D-phenylalanine against the antidepressant drug imipramine (taken in daily doses of 100 mg) and found them to be equally effective. 48 A total of 60 people were randomly assigned to either one group or the other and followed for 30 days. D-phenylalanine worked more rapidly, producing significant improvement in only 15 days.
Another double-blind study followed 27 people, half of whom received DL-phenylalanine and the other half imipramine in higher doses of 150 mg to 200 mg daily. 49,50 When the participants were reevaluated in 30 days, the two groups had improved by the same amount.
Unfortunately, there do not seem to have been any properly designed studies that compared phenylalanine to placebo. Until these are performed, phenylalanine cannot be considered a proven treatment for depression, but it is certainly promising.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Phenylalanine article.
When the body sets about manufacturing serotonin, it first makes 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). The theory behind taking 5-HTP as a supplement is that providing the one-step-removed raw ingredient might raise serotonin levels.
There have been several preliminary studies of 5-HTP. 54 The best of these trials was a 6-week study of 63 people given either 5-HTP (100 mg 3 times daily) or an antidepressant in the Prozac (fluvoxamine) family (50 mg 3 times daily). 55 The results showed equal benefit between the supplement and the drug. Actually, 5-HTP worked a little better, but from a mathematical perspective, the difference was not statistically significant .
5-HTP caused fewer and less severe side effects than fluvoxamine. The only real complaint was occasional mild digestive distress.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full 5-hydroxytryptophan article.
Fish Oil
It has been suggested that fish oil or the related substance ethyl-EPA may be helpful for people with depression. 114,126,128,139,140,149,164,165,167,171, 196 For example, a 4-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the potential benefits of fish oil in 20 individuals with depression. 114 All but one of the participants were also taking standard antidepressants and had been for at least 3 months. By week 3 of the trial, the level of depression had improved to a significantly greater extent in the fish oil group than in placebo group. In addition, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 70 people with depression that did not respond well to drug treatment found that the addition of ethyl-EPA (a modified form of a primary ingredient of fish oil) improved the response. 126 Similarly, a double-blind study that evaluated the anti-depressant effect of EPA plus fluoxetin (a popular anti-depressant medication) found the combination to be more effective than fluoxetine or EPA alone after 4 weeks of treatment. 167
In another study, 40 people who had committed repeated acts of self-harm were given either fish oil or placebo for 12 weeks. 161 The results indicated that fish oil supplementation markedly reduced measures of suicidality and well-being.
However, the best and most recent studies have failed to find benefit. A meta-analysis (formal statistical review of evidence) published in 2007 failed to find convincing evidence of benefit. 164 The largest (77-participant) study in this review failed to find fish oil more effective than placebo for treatment of depression. 140 Two subsequent studies enrolling a total of almost 300 people also failed to find benefit. 163,165 And a third placebo-controlled study found no benefit for fish oil in improving "mental well-being" among 320 older adults without a diagnosis of depression. 177
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Fish Oil article.
Exercise may be helpful for depression. In a review published in the journal Sports Medicine , researchers analyzed the published research on this subject. 99 Their conclusion: a very qualified "yes."
In seven out of eight studies reviewed, various forms of exercise proved beneficial for depression. Aerobic exercise, weight training, dancing, and racquetball all produced improvements in mood as compared to no exercise.
However, the findings of the one negative study reported in this review cast doubt on the others. In this trial, some participants exercised, while others took a course at school and didn't exercise at all. The results: equal benefits in both groups. This suggests that it may not be the exercise itself that is helping, but rather the general effects of participation in an organized activity.
Another feature of the positive studies also tends to cast doubt on the value of exercise per se in depression. You'd think that if it were exercise itself improving mood, the more effectively the participants exercised the greater the effect. However, no correlation was seen between how much participants increased their physical fitness and how significantly their depression improved.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) involves the application of low-frequency magnetic pulses to the brain. A growing body of evidence suggests that rTMS is helpful for depression. 101-105,115-122,134,145-147,168,189
In a well-designed trial, for example, 70 people with major depression were given rTMS or sham rTMS in a double-blind setting over a period of 2 weeks. 102 The results showed that participants who had received actual treatment experienced significantly greater improvement than did those receiving sham treatment. In a smaller trial involving 45 subjects, researchers found that rTMS is more effective than sham rTMS as an add-on treatment to anti-depressant medication in people with moderate to severe depression (including those with psychotic symptoms). 189 In another trial involving 92 older patients whose depression has been linked to poor blood flow to the brain (so-called vascular depression), actual rTMS was significantly more effective than a sham rTMS. Benefits were more notable in younger patients. 168
In a particularly persuasive piece of evidence, researchers pooled the results of 30 double-blind trials involving 1,164 depressed patients and determined that real rTMS is significantly more effective than sham (fake) rTMS. 171
Studies suggest that rTMS may be an effective additional treatment for the 20%-30% of depressed people for whom conventional drug therapy is not successful. 104,169,185 Another group of researchers pooled the results of 24 studies involving 1,092 patients and found rTMS to be more effective than sham for treatment-resistant depression. 178
ECT (electroconvulsive therapy, or shock treatment) is often used for people who fall in this category, but rTMS may be an equally effective and less traumatic alternative. 112,116,129
Other Herbs and Supplements
Like gingko, the supplement phosphatidylserine is used mainly for mental decline in the elderly, but it may also offer antidepressant benefits for seniors. 68,69 Limited evidence hints that acetyl-L-carnitine may also offer benefits for seniors, 108,109 as well as, potentially, for younger people. 150
Diets low in vitamin B 6 or vitamin B 12 have been associated with symptoms of depression. 110,111 While there is little direct evidence that taking these supplements can help depression, deficiencies of B 6 are common, and B 12 deficiencies occur more often with advancing age, so it may be a good idea to take these vitamins on general principles. Nonetheless, a randomized trial involving 299 men over the age of 75 found that a daily supplement containing a combination of vitamins B 6 , B 12 , and folate was no better than placebo at preventing depression over a 2-year period. 175 The same was true in another study in which older adults with mild depression took folate (400 mcg) and B 12 (100 mcg) . 184
In two reviews of 13 randomized trials with 4,394 patients, vitamin D 3 supplements (oral or intramuscular injection) were not effective in reducing depressive symptoms when compared to placebo. However, some benefit was found in an analysis of 2 trials with patients who had more severe, clinically significant depression. 193, 194
Other micronutrients are also commonly deficient in elderly populations. A small study among nursing home residents found that low levels of the mineral selenium was associated with depression. Moreover, 8 weeks of mineral supplementation tended to improve the mood of the most seriously depressed patients with low selenium levels. 172
In a small double-blind, placebo-controlled study, tincture of lavender enhanced the antidepressant effectiveness of the drug imipramine. 129 The hormone DHEA has shown some promise for depression. 113,151-152
When depression is characterized by rapid mood changes, excessive sleeping and eating, a sense of leaden paralysis, and extreme sensitivity to negative life events, the condition is called atypical depression. A very small (15 participants) double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that chromium picolinate might be helpful for this form of depression; 130 however, a much larger study failed to find convincing benefits. 153
One study found weak evidence that zinc supplements may enhance the effectiveness of standard antidepressants. 142
According to five preliminary double-blind studies, use of the herb saffron ( Crocus sativus ) at 30 mg daily is more effective than placebo and equally effective as standard treatment for major depression. 143,144,154,156, 159 However, all these studies were small and were performed by a single research group in Iran. Larger studies and independent confirmation will be necessary to determine whether saffron truly is effective for depression.
Two studies of somewhat questionable validity reported benefit with an herbal combination used in Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine ("Free and Easy Wanderer Plus"). 157,176
Beta-carotene , damiana , NADH , pregnenolone , and tyrosine are also sometimes recommended for depression, but there is no meaningful evidence as yet that they really work.
A double-blind study of 42 people with severe depression found no improvement with the supplement inositol . 107 Similarly, use of multivitamin mixtures has failed to prove more effective than placebo. 166
The herb Rhodiola rosea has also been studied as a treatment for depression. 188 In a randomized trial, 89 people with mild to moderate depression received rhodiola extract 340 mg, rhodiola extract 680 mg, or a placebo for 6 weeks. Those in both rhodiola groups experienced an improvement in most of their depression symptoms, whereas those in the placebo group experienced no such benefit.
Alternative Therapies
Ayurveda , 131hatha yoga , 132,173massage , 133,170 and relaxation therapies179 have all been studied for their effectiveness against depression, but results to date have been largely unconvincing.
Music therapy, though, may have some promise. In one study, 79 people (aged 18-50) with depression were randomized to receive music therapy for 60 minutes, twice a day (plus standard care) or standard care alone. 191 At 3 months, those in the music therapy group experienced an improvement in their depression, anxiety, and general ability to function.
One small trial involving 84 adults with major depression found that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, a type of stress reduction program, was just as effective as antidepressants in reducing the chance of relapse. 187 In addition, a 2011 systematic review that included 10 studies found evidence that mindfulness-based interventions may be beneficial for pain and depressive symptoms in patients suffering with chronic pain. 190 The authors did highlight, though, the need for better quality studies.
Studies on acupuncture as a treatment for depression have shown mixed results. In a review of 20 trials involving 2,000 patients with major depression, researchers concluded that real acupunture's effectiveness was comparable to that of anti-depressants, but was no more effective than sham acupuncture for this population. 183 Other studies have not found this benefit, though. 100,160,174 There is some suggestion that combining acupuncture with fluoxetine may hasten the effect of the antidepressants and allow for a lower dose. 181,182
Bright light therapy is standard treatment for seasonal affective disorder, but there has been some success in using it to treat nonseasonal depressive symptoms. In a small randomized trial with 122 adults, bright light therapy (with or without the antidepressant fluoxetine) improved depression severity scores. There were 4 groups in the trial that compared bright light therapy, sham bright light therapy, fluoxetine, and placebo. The most consistent positive effects were seen in those who used bright light therapy in combination with fluoxetine.195
Herbs and Supplements to Use Only With Caution
Various herbs and supplements may interact adversely with drugs used to treat depression. For more information on this potential risk, see the individual drug article in the Drug Interactions section of this database.

text:
Due to deadlines, my conversations with Loyola coach Charley Toomey, Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala and Maryland coach John Tillman were relatively brief. But here are their initial impressions of their opponents in the first round of the upcoming NCAA tournament.
Toomey on Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion Canisius (6-7): "My first impression is that my assistant coaches better be home doing their homework right now as I'm in Indy [due to his duties as a member of the tournament selection committee, which met in Indianapolis]. Obviously, the first phone call I'm going to make is to a good friend, [Siena coach] John Svec, and find out everything that I can about them. Loyola competes in the MAAC [in other sports], but we don't run into Canisius very often. I think the last time I had an opportunity to watch them play was a few years ago when they drew Syracuse in the first round. But that's probably a very different team such as Loyola is as well. I go to work tomorrow."
Pietramala on America East titlist Stony Brook (7-9): "They're pretty balanced offensively. As I look at them, two of their top four scorers are attackmen [in redshirt freshman Mike Rooney and sophomore Matt Bellando], and I believe the next two are midfielders [in seniors Robbie Campbell and Russ Bonanno], and they're putting up a lot of points. They're very well-coached. When I think of them, I think back to the way they performed against Virginia when they had Virginia up there [in 2011]. I saw them on film a little bit earlier this season against Virginia. Had an opportunity to watch them a little bit against Albany, and Albany's a team that was just getting hot right at the end of the season. They really performed very, very well against UMBC, and Stony Brook found a way to beat them. So they're a good team. Obviously, there's a lot more for us to learn about them, but at first glance, they seem balanced. They put some points on the board, it looks like they're riding pretty well and clearing pretty well. So we're going to have to perform well as you have to at this time of the year. We have to start playing our best lacrosse."
Tillman on Patriot League champion Lehigh (14-2): "Obviously, Lehigh is a terrific team. They won the Patriot League, and they're very talented. What they've done offensively and defensively has been impressive. I think they're scoring almost 11 goals a game and yet holding teams to six goals a game. And we just lost to the team that they beat in the championship game. So we know we have our work cut out for us."
