Stress…we all feel it and know what it means but do we know what it can do to us from the inside? Studies are now showing that by not taking care of stress that we experience can lead to some serious health issues. Your stress can lead to a poor immune system, which puts you at risk for catching and difficulty recovering from bacterial or viral infections along with poor wound healing. And for those of you who get the flu shot, stress can prevent your immune system from properly responding to the vaccine, making you still susceptible to catching the flu. Un-managed stress can also put you at risk for elevated blood pressure, which can then lead to heart problems later on if it continues to go untreated.
So…you're probably thinking how do I eliminate stress for good?
Well…the truth is, you can't. This is because stress is a natural response that helps us get trough the difficult situations, but if it is not regulated, it can negatively impact our health. We already cope with our stress without even knowing it. Most of the ways that people deal with stress are considered unhealthy.
Here are some healthy ways to deal with stress:
- Get up and move! – Whether its going to the gym for a hard core workout, dancing to your favorite songs, or going on a casual walk. Moving around in any way stimulates your body to release Endorphines, which make us feel good and lower our stress.
- Connect with friends and family! – Talking about what makes us stress, whether it can be resolved or not, can decrease the tension. And if talking to friends and family isn't enough, sometimes getting professional help may do the trick.
- Avoid unnecessary stress! – We sometimes put ourselves in situations that bring on more stress that could have been easily prevented.
- Avoid people who stress you out.
- This is not always realistic, especially if your boss or a family member but ten try to limit how many times you interact with them and make those interactions short and sweet.
- Saying "No" is okay. Know your limits with taking on responsibilities in the work field and at home. When possible, divide the work load.
- Avoid people who stress you out.
- Have fun and relax. – Make it an everyday plan, that is YOUR time, to de-stress. Take a nice bubble bath, read a book, or go fishing. Also plan something fun for the weekend, whether its going out to eat, getting a massage, or to the movies. You can also find out what is free in your community if you don't like spending.
- Avoid the unhealthy choices of dealing with stress:
- Binging on junk food (usually full of carbs and sugar)
- Smoking
- Sleeping too much
- Taking stress out/withdrawing from others
- Consuming too much alcohol or caffeinated beverages
So you now have been educated on what stress can do to your body and even ways to manage it. For more information and additional ways to manage your stress visit Anxiety and Depression Association of America.

The Bitglass "Where's Your Data?" Experiment
Blog Article Published: 04/07/2015
By Chris Hines, Product Marketing Manager, Bitglass 783. That's the total number of reported breaches involving stolen data that occured in 2014 alone. When the story first broke about the Morgan Stanley breach, where an ex-employee stole corporate data and pasted it on a file-sharing site called Pastebin, it got us thinking. We all hear about these massive breaches that take place--Target, Home Depot, Sony, Anthem, Premera--but what actually happens to the data after it is stolen? Where does it travel to? How many people see it, and how much damage can it cause? In an effort to find the answers to these questions, we decided to launch the world's first data tracking experiment located in the Dark Web. So, what did we do? We created an excel spreadsheet of 1,568 fake employee credentials, then placed it on anonymous file sharing sites within the "Dark Web," using a Tor browser as our entry point. We tracked the data as it travelled to various sinister locations around the world, and as it was shared amongst cyber-crime syndicates overseas. But how? Here at Bitglass we have developed the first watermarking security solution on the planet. The patent-pending tracking technology works like this.
- Document travels through Bitglass proxy when downloaded from a cloud or on prem application and down to a mobile device.
- When this occurs, the document is automatically embedded with an invisibe watermark.
- Every time the document is opened, a "ping" is sent to the Bitglass portal displaying: user name, file name, geographic location, IP address and device type.
- Even if a watermarked document is copied and pasted elsewhere, or mutilated in some way, the watermarks still persist.

Tips to prepare for personal interview
Personal Interview is usually the final interview in several rounds of interviews to land your coveted job. Typically, you would have already cleared the technical screening written test, technical face to face interview and cross-checking with references given by you.
Personal interview is by far the most critical interview that will decide your future. Here are some of the most important tips to prepare for personal interviews:
- Know about the company or organization that is interviewing you
For Personal interviews, you must first of all have basic general knowledge about the company. Go to the official website, read reviews about the company or organization. Know in general about the business and the clientele of the company.
- Learn to make eye contact while speaking
It is very important to appear confident in an interview. The first rule is to look at the interview panel and speak. Do not look elsewhere in the interview room or look at the table etc. while answering a question.
- Mind your body language
Do not shake your leg or play with a pen in your hand. Do not fidget with your dress. Body language is very minutely assessed in an interview. The interview is as much about the personality you project as it is about your knowledge or experience.
- Be careful about your personal attire including footwear
You should wear fresh and neatly ironed clothes. Make sure your shoes or sandal is not dirty or worn out. Use a mild perfume or deodorant especially in hot weather because you will tend to perspire.
- What to do when you do not know the answer for a question or do not understand the question
Please ask the interviewer to repeat the question if you do not understand the question. You must first clearly understand what is being asked. If you do not know the answer at all, say it upfront. Do not give vague answers or throw jargon around. The person interviewing you will easily figure out whether you actually know something, based on your answer.

Afghan Taliban to meet U.S. officials, militants say, as peace efforts intensify
KABUL - Afghan Taliban representatives and U.S. officials were due to meet in the United Arab Emirates οn Mοnday, the militants' main spοkesman said, amid diplomatic mοves toward establishing the basis fοr talks to end the 17-year war in Afghanistan.
The spοkesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said representatives frοm Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the UAE would also take part in the talks, which fοllow at least two meetings between Taliban officials and U.S. special peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad in Qatar.
The U.S. embassy in Kabul would nοt cοnfirm any meeting was due to take place. By 5 p.m. UAE time , nο οne was available to say whether the talks had begun.
Diplomatic effοrts to resolve the cοnflict have intensified, although the Taliban have refused to deal directly with the internatiοnally-recοgnized gοvernment in Kabul, which it cοnsiders an illegitimate fοreign-impοsed regime.
The Taliban, seeking to reimpοse strict Islamic law after their 2001 overthrοw, say the presence of internatiοnal fοrces in Afghanistan is the main obstacle to peace. Even as the peace prοcess gathers mοmentum, fighting has cοntinued with heavy casualties οn bοth sides.
Although the Afghan gοvernment has nοt taken part directly in the talks, a team frοm Kabul met U.S. and Saudi officials in the UAE οn Sunday, President Ashraf Ghani's Natiοnal Security Adviser, Hamdullah Mohib, said.
Ghani has fοrmed a team to negοtiate peace with the Taliban but the grοup said in a statement οn Mοnday that seniοr members have "nο plans" to meet the representatives of the Afghan gοvernment in the UAE.
"The talks in UAE will happen with the U.S. envoy in the presence of representatives of some other cοuntries," said Mujahid in a statement.
As well as establishing direct cοntacts with the Taliban, U.S. officials have stepped up effοrts to win suppοrt frοm cοuntries with an interest in Afghanistan, including Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Western diplomats said the decisiοn to mοve the venue of the talks frοm Doha to the UAE underscοred effοrts to involve Saudi Arabia, which is hostile to Qatar, mοre closely in the prοcess and to exert influence οn its ally, Pakistan.
In recent mοnths Saudi Arabia has offered a $6 billiοn rescue package to Islamabad as the cοuntry attempts to plug its rapidly deteriοrating finances.
"At this juncture, if Saudi Arabia tells Pakistan to suppοrt the Afghan peace prοcess then there is nο way that Pakistan can ignοre it," said a seniοr Western diplomat in Kabul.
Relatiοns between Washingtοn and Islamabad have lοng been strained over accusatiοns that Pakistan suppοrts insurgent grοups in Afghanistan, a charge it denies. But earlier this mοnth, U.S. President Dοnald Trump requested Pakistan's suppοrt to advance the Afghan peace prοcess.
Seniοr members of the Taliban in Afghanistan said the talks would cοntinue fοr three days. Taliban officials frοm the mοvement's pοlitical headquarters in Qatar and two representatives sent by Mullah Yaqub, elder sοn of the Taliban's late fοunder Mullah Mohammad Omar, will be present.

Berryburst MAX Slot Game Review
Have you played the original Berryburst online slot from NetEnt before? If you have, you'll know that it offers loads of excitement on every spin, as well as some really big prizes. Well, Berryburst MAX takes these prizes and supercharges them, meaning that the amount of money you can win is far higher in the latest version. Why not find out exactly why you should be playing this online slot by reading through the Berryburst MAX slot review below?
The first thing to talk about is the look of this slot, and it looks… exactly the same as the original Berryburst slot machine! So, you'll find various fruits on the reels and the same vivid colouring, as well as really slick animations. You'll also find that the audio is really good (something we can't say too often when it comes to online slots) and it really enhances your enjoyment when you turn it up.
Berryburst MAX is a slot with five reels and three rows, however there are no paylines spread over the reels. Instead, you'll need to get clumps of symbols – get three or more clustered together and you'll win a cash prize. They can join horizontally and vertically, however you can't join symbols together diagonally. This is something not found at too many slots, however there are others – such as Aloha! Cluster Pays – that have already shown that this format really works well and provides loads of excitement.
How much money can you spend at this slot? Well, the answer is that you can spend everything from a few pence, through to hundreds of pounds. The minimum bet amount at Berryburst MAX is just £0.10, while the maximum bet per spin is an impressive £200. So, everyone from micro-stakes players through to high rollers will be able to play this online slot machine. Adjusting how much you bet is simple – just use the plus and minus buttons either side of the "Level" and "Coin Value" fields.
The final thing to look at in this section of this Berryburst MAX slot review is the prizes, and you'll be impressed with what you find. As already mentioned, the prizes have been increased when compared to the older version of Berryburst, and the maximum you can now win is an amazing 6,000x your bet amount. This happens if you manage to get all reels filled with expanded wild symbols. So, as you can see, you could win tens of thousands of pounds if you're playing this game at the highest stakes. You should remember that this game is more volatile than the previous Berryburst, meaning that bigger wins are easier to come by, but that big losses are also a possibility.
Bonus Features
There aren't many bonus features found at Berryburst MAX. In fact, there is only one, and it revolves around the wild symbol. The first thing to say is that the wild symbol is incredibly helpful, as it can substitute for all other symbols on the reels. The result? This symbol can help you to win some absolutely massive amounts. The fact that the wild symbol will always expand to cover the entire reel only makes it even more useful.
The wild symbol is also the key to the only real bonus feature at this online slot machine. When a wild lands on the reels, it will expand to cover the whole reel. You will then get a free respin with the expanded wild held in place. Get another wild and you'll have two expanded wilds held in place for another respin. This process can lead to you getting five expanded wild symbols on the reels, which will lead to you winning this slot's jackpot.
That's everything when it comes to the bonus features at this slot so, as you can see, there really aren't many for you to think about. Don't make the mistake of thinking that the lack of bonus features makes this slot a boring one though. In actual fact, this slot is one of the more exciting ones we've seen in recent times, mainly thanks to the massive prizes you can win. So, NetEnt have certainly done well when it comes to transforming this online slot machine.
Berryburst MAX is exactly the same as the old Berryburst machine, meaning that those who have played it before will easily be able to play this game. The difference comes with the enhanced prizes though, as they're much bigger at Berryburst MAX. This is clearly a big selling point and the reason why most should now choose to play the later version of the game. So, if you're looking to play an exciting slot with big prizes, why not start spinning the reels of the Berryburst MAX online slot today? Also if you like playing Berryburst MAX, give the Starburst slot game from NetEnt a try too.

Identification of a New Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus from Brazil
Abstract. Two strains of a recently isolated Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) complex virus from southern Brazil, avirulent for 6- to 8-week-old mice and short-haired guinea pigs, were characterized by biologic, serologic, and biochemical means. They were shown serologically to represent a single, newly recognized variant of subtype I. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of ribonuclease T1 digests of viral ribonucleic acid showed considerable homology between the genomes of the new variant prototype and variant IA. Three structural proteins were visualized by discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE (SDS-PAGE). Although the smallest protein of both recent isolates migrates with the capsid proteins of other subtype I viruses, the larger structural proteins of the new variants differ in molecular weight from the E1 and E2 envelope glycoproteins of the other subtype I variants. The new isolates produced peptide fragment patterns that were identical to each other, but different from the patterns of other subtype I viruses, following SDS-PAGE of dissociated virions digested with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. Since these two isolates were from Culex (Melanoconion) species mosquitoes and from a bat (Carollia perspicillata), we postulate that this is an enzootic VEE virus variant for which the classification IF is suggested.

CONCORD — The Mt. Diablo Unified School District Board of Education revealed its top pick for new district superintendent to succeed Nellie Meyer, who went to the Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District this summer.
Robert A. Martinez, an assistant superintendent at Fairfield-Suisin Unified School District, will likely take on the role starting in August, the Mt. Diablo Unified Board of Trustees announced in a written statement Monday.
Martinez doesn't have the job officially, but he's the "sole finalist," according to the district. Board trustees expect to officially approve his appointment on Aug. 12.
"Many highly-qualified educators applied for the superintendent position," said Joanne Durkee, president of the Mt. Diablo board. She said Martinez emerged as an "ideal" candidate for the role based on feedback from parents and staff about what they value in a superintendent.
Martinez has been with Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District for 30 years, most recently as assistant superintendent of human resources, according to the school district website. He previously worked as a school psychologist, assistant principal, principal and director. He holds a bachelor of arts degree in psychology and a master's degree in education from the University of California, Davis and an educational doctorate from Drexel University.
"I am honored that the board of education has selected me as the finalist for Superintendent," Martinez said in a written statement. "Mt. Diablo has shown a clear commitment to creating learning environments that are based in equity, to assisting each student with excelling academically and socially, and are focused on readying students for college readiness, careers, and as citizens of their community."
Martinez will replace former superintendent Meyer, who came in 2013 after the district board voted to end the contracts of its former superintendent and general counsel a year early because of a sense of distrust that permeated the district and low morale among its employees.
While many teachers and staff this year have spoken about the district's improvement under Meyer's leadership, other challenges lie ahead for Martinez. The district faces budget shortfalls related to declining enrollment, while teachers at Mt. Diablo are speaking out about contract negotiations that have stretched over the better part of a year. The teachers' union has indicated it's considering steps that could lead to a strike.
Mt. Diablo Unified encompasses the cities of Clayton, Concord, Pleasant Hill and parts of Martinez, Pittsburg and Walnut Creek as well as unincorporated Bay Point, Lafayette and Pacheco. It has more than 31,000 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade at 56 campuses, five high schools, one continuation high school, two adult education centers, nine middle schools, 28 elementary schools and six alternative schools.

The Strength of Experience and ProNexus
Written By: ProNexus Consultant, Bob Andler
As many of us progress through our careers and gain varied experiences and skillsets, we are often challenged personally by the question, what is my value add to this process? We see younger analyst who have grown up with computers and software displaying a mastery of software skills that in truth could be construed at times as intimidating. We see new ideas in terms of processes and skills, different from those we have utilized and depended on over our careers. We sometimes experience frustration with those who we manage due to the difference in generational views that come to the forefront on approaches to problems and commitment to deliverables. Yes, it can be challenging.
Now what we must remember is that we have a skill that carries more value that we often realize, EXPERIENCE. We often tell those we work with stories about our experiences when we see an issue or challenges arise. How did we approach the challenge, what encumbrances or roadblocks did we encounter and how did we find solutions that addressed these and allowed us to meet management expectations. Over our careers we have had to think inside and outside the box of conventional approaches; and how did these approaches work? When they came up short, what did we do next? These workplace and life experiences when applied to today's problems more often than not give us a roadmap to follow and a launch point to begin working a solution. Experience is a hard-fought skill that when retained, remembered and applied, consistently over time makes each of us the modern version of a GOOGLE search that drives solutions, productivity and deliverables as required.
What ProNexus offers us is an opportunity to utilize this unique skillset in a successful venue where we can be seen as a value add to the process and a respected resource that earns a return on the investment our clients ask for, need and deserve. Remember, any analyst can calculate tables in Excel, prepare Pivot Tables and V Look Up cross references, it takes a knowledgeable practiced manager to bring the value of their experiences and solutions to an issue and find the correct path to deliver.

According to TMZ, the Clark County District Attorney has charged Clippers star Blake Griffin with misdemeanor battery for his role in an alleged assault in a Las Vegas night club last month. Griffin is alleged to have gotten mad at cameras flashing in his face while in Tao Nightclub, so he grabbed the phone and neck of Daniel Schuman. From a previous TMZ story on the incident:
Daniel says he didn't let go of the phone because his ID and credit card were attached to it — so Blake grabbed his neck and began to squeeze while demanding Daniel give up his phone "or else."
According to the statement, the two eventually separated after Blake took the phone — and when Daniel tried to ask for it back, Blake struck again ... grabbing his neck and squeezing for a second time.
Daniel says when security finally got to the scene — Blake told them, "Get him the f**k out of this club."
Daniel says Blake then "slapped me in the right side of my face."
It seems the entire Clippers team were with Griffin in the club, but none are alleged to be involved in the incident.

Torrington to repair 10 roads this spring, developing list for next year
TORRINGTON >> The city is working on developing next year's road repair list to be presented the City Council within the next couple of weeks, with a plan already in place to repair 10 streets this spring.
Mayor Elinor Carbone is working with Public Works Director Jerry Rollett, City Engineer Ed Fabbri and Superintendent of Streets Rob Lizotte to develop the Pavement Management Program, which outlines repairs and costs for the city's roads in addition to other infrastructure repair. The plan will include sidewalk and street repairs, which have been coordinated together in the past couple of years, but Carbone said she would like to see the work completed simultaneously.
"If you're out there digging up the road, it only makes sense to make sidewalk repairs when necessary and where the city would be responsible for," Carbone said.
The repair list is updated annually, Carbone said, and the latest list developed is for the 2014-15 fiscal year. The final list and plan will be presented to the City Council one of its next meeting in either late April or early May, Carbone said.
"Every year, we updated. We put a list of streets; that's still being put together as we speak," Rollett said.
The city creates a repavement plan that includes schedules for the spring, summer and fall.
"We try to spend between $1.5 million to $2 million a year in road work," Rollett said.
The city estimates budgets for street improvement budget through the next five fiscal years. The streets being repaired this spring are paid with the city's general fund and town aid, which are state grants. This year, $2.4 million was budgeted for road work in the city.
Grading for Torrington's 163 miles of roads has been completed, although Carbone said that she wishes the repavement schedule could be expedited. Due to budget restraints, the city only has enough money to repair about five miles of road per year through the three scheduled periods. That number would rise if the budget was different, Carbone said.
"Clearly there is a need to do closer to 10 to 15 miles per year," Carbone said. She said road work is a balancing act, as utility and other infrastructure repairs must also be considered.
Roads are given a grade based on a pavement condition index from 0 to 100. A score of 100 represents a new road, while anything 60 and below represents a failing grade.
The spring 2014 repair list includes 10 streets, which had grades ranging from 25 to 45. The streets represent 2.2 miles, or about 11,747 feet, of road. All the roads are scheduled to be reclaimed, which means grinding up the road and repaving. A majority of the streets scheduled for repair this spring are near Highland Avenue, which is a major street that has caused headaches for several residents and drivers who frequently note its poor road conditions.
Streets to be repaired this spring include:
- Dewey Street, between Wolcott Avenue and Woodbine Street. 499 feet. Grade: 30.
- Woodbine Street, off Cherry Street. 1,114 feet. Grade: 30.
- Beechwood Avenue, off Highland Avenue. 1,772 feet. Grade: 45.
- Central Avenue, between High Street and Mt. Pleasant Terrace. 1,810 feet. Grade: 35.
- Chestnut Avenue, between Highland Avenue and Glenwood Avenue. 1,837 feet. Grade: 35.
- Colorado Avenue North, off Highland Avenue. 1,107 feet. Grade: 35.
- Glenwood Avenue, between Chestnut Avenue and Maplewood Avenue. 235 feet. Grade: 45
- Hawthorne Terrace, between Highland Avenue and Culvert Street. 1,475 feet. Grade: 35.
- Mt. Pleasant Terrace, between Highland Avenue and Culvert Street. 1,463 feet. Grade: 25.
- Washington Avenue Ext., Between Culvert Street and Hoffman Street. 435 feet. Grade: 45
Carbone said the street department assesses every mile of Torrington 163 miles of road. Roads have an estimated average cost of reconstruction of $350,000 per miles.
Repair on the streets doesn't begin until frost is completely out of the ground, Carbone said, as it doesn't make sense to try and fix roads while the frost is present. Until then, the street department will continue making small repairs in the form of cold patching, Carbone said.
Rollett said he expects road repairs to begin next month.

UnionPay International Joins Hands with Chinese E-commerce Firm to Provide Cross-border Payment Convenience
SHANGHAI, China, Apr. 8, 2015 / Xinhua-AsiaNet — UnionPay International announced on April 8 it entered cooperation with DinoDirect Ltd in cross-border online businesses, enabling the latter's B2C platform DinoDirect, B2B platform Osell and related websites to accept UnionPay cards (card number starting with 62) issued outside the Chinese mainland.
This is the first time UnionPay International has established cooperation with a Chinese cross-border e-commerce company to allow overseas cardholders to pay with UnionPay cards on a Chinese e-commerce platform.
While Chinese consumers enjoy buying foreign products at good prices from overseas platforms, more and more overseas individuals and retailers are hoping to get access to items made in China. As one of the largest Chinese cross-border e-commerce platform, DinoDirect's businesses cover more than 200 countries and regions in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America and Central and Eastern Europe.
The cooperation between the two sides will not only make it more convenient for overseas business owners and individuals to make purchases on cross-border e-commerce websites in China, but also help domestic manufactures sell their products to global consumers and retailers at lower costs and high efficiency, pushing forward the "going-out" process of China's manufacturing industry.
As the next step, UnionPay International also has plans to roll out commercial card products at overseas markets designed for cross-border e-commerce trade to better meet overseas buyers' demands for making purchases at Chinese merchants.
Overseas business owners and individuals are able to pay with the UnionPay Online Payment (UPOP) and enjoy high security guaranties.
As the number of UnionPay cards issued outside the Chinese mainland continues to grow, UnionPay International is stepping up efforts to improve overseas card-using privilege and service systems and is committed to enabling domestic cardholders to enjoy the experience of "shopping the world with one card".
Currently, nearly 40 million UnionPay cards have been issued in 40 countries and regions outside the Chinese mainland and UnionPay card is recognized by more and more cardholders globally.
Now, UnionPay cardholders are able to make purchases directly on 10 million overseas online merchants. UnionPay cards have been accepted by Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, Agoda, Booking and many other well-known online merchants overseas. Meanwhile, cardholders are also able to buy warmly welcomed foreign items including maternal and child products, cosmetics, clothing and food with UnionPay cards through the UnionPay Haigou platform "Shop The World".

We believe in family-centered care, which means we involve the whole family in your child's treatment plan. From bringing family members into care plan meetings, to providing support and distraction to a patient's siblings, we do our best to help fit our care within your lifestyle.
Working together, we can create a home management plan to help your child stay healthy and lead an active lifestyle. Education is an important element of the plan, and we help you prepare all caregivers to respond to symptoms when necessary.
The High-Risk Asthma Program has been developed for patients with especially severe asthma that has been difficult to control. The program involves a multidisciplinary team that assists in addressing treatment barriers and comorbid conditions that can contribute to the severity of asthma. We take a patient centered approach to improve asthma control and the quality of life of our patients. Patients are referred into this program within the Division of Pulmonary Medicine.
We will work with your family to develop a detailed asthma treatment plan to prevent symptoms and respond to symptoms when they occur. Together, we can identify triggers; develop action plans to avoid triggers; and create response plans to treat asthma flare-ups. Once your child has been diagnosed with asthma, your child's physician will prescribe medications to control their symptoms. This plan may change over time as your child grows and changes.
Two types of asthma medication are prescribed for most patients with asthma: controllers are medicaions used to prevent symptoms and relievers are medications used to treat symptoms when they occur. Controller medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids or leukotriene inhibitors, decrease the swelling and inflammation in the airways. Controller medications can be given by inhalation from a nebulizer, a metered dose inhaler or a dry powder inhaler. They are used every day to prevent asthma flare-ups.
Reliever medications, such as bronchodilators, open narrow airways by relaxing the muscles that constrict them. Bronchodilators relieve coughing, wheezing, breathlessness and the feeling of tightness in the chest. They are used when patients are having symptoms of asthma. They are given by inhalation from a nebulizer or a metered dose inhaler.
Learn more about these treatments and watch videos to see how they're administered.
Our pulmonary medicine physicians collaborate with other specialties, such as allergy, to provide the highest-quality care to children with asthma. Our integrated team of physicians, pediatric nurse practitioners and pediatric nursing staff seamlessly coordinate to provide care and treatment plans. Program leadership from pulmonary medicine is provided by Avani V. Shah, MD, Attending Physician, Pulmonary Medicine. Dr. Shah is board-certified in pediatric pulmonology and pediatrics.
Your support is vital in helping us continue to make a difference in the lives of patients and families.

Harrison, Seau face familiar foe
In January 1995, the Steelers won their first playoff game in a rout, while the Chargers eked out a one-point victory that set up the matchup between those teams the following weekend.
"Sitting in my hotel room in Pittsburgh and hearing all the cheers and pep rallies that were going around and all the Super Bowl videos that were being taped, everything was against us," the Patriots linebacker said. "The yellow towels were flying around. It was definitely a time when we thought we were against the world."
But San Diego won 17-13 in Pittsburgh then went on to one of the toughest losses in Seau's 18-year career, a 49-26 rout by San Francisco in the Super Bowl.
Thirteen years later, the Chargers aren't given much of a chance against the perfect Patriots on Sunday, the day after Seau's 39th birthday.
But he knows expectations can fall short. Didn't the Patriots squander a 21-3 lead in last year's AFC title game and lose to Indianapolis, 38-34?
So Seau and safety Rodney Harrison, a rookie on that 1994 Chargers team, are working hard to avoid an upset that can stop New England's unbeaten season one game short of another Super Bowl appearance.
"I tell the young guys, 'Don't take anything for granted because at any point in time it can be over with, whether it's a season, whether it's a game, whether it's your career,'" the 35-year-old Harrison said Thursday. "I think I have a greater appreciation now that I'm older."
Seau sees many comparisons between this year's San Diego team and the one in 1994 -- the last two Chargers clubs to reach the AFC championship game.
"The major comparison is that they're confident," he said. "We look forward to moving on, growing every day to the day it comes we have to go out and perform."
Seau and Harrison will play against the Chargers as teammates for the first time in their long careers. Both missed last season's 24-21 upset playoff win at San Diego with injuries.
Sunday's game, then, should have some special emotions for them, especially since Seau is a native of San Diego.
"I try not to get too Oprah with it and know that it's just another game and know that I'm so happy for the city of San Diego, my hometown," he said, but "it's going to be a challenge of the game of football, nothing more."
Harrison, a fiery, hard-hitter like Seau, also prefers to show his emotions on the field.
"It's just special to be in the AFC Championship," Harrison said. "I don't know necessarily facing the Chargers makes it any more special."
Seau had three interceptions and 3� sacks this season and Harrison ended Jacksonville's hopes with an interception with just under four minutes left. One more win, and the Patriots will have a shot at their fourth championship in seven years.
That's a long way from San Diego. Seau and Harrison left there after the 2002 season, when the Chargers lost their last four games to finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs for the seventh straight season.

2012 Trail Camera
I finally broke down and bought a trail camera to see what kind of wildlife is roaming around when I'm not watching. It is a
Leupold RCX-2
camera. I have been moving it around trying to find the real active spots. Below I will post the small version of some of the interesting pictures, click on the image for a full resolution version.
You can also browse the raw archive at:
Trailcam Archive
. The directories are dated for when I downloaded from the camera. The files with "(Small)" in the name are the low resolution versions, the others are the full files from the camera. I started out on the 3 megapixel resolution then changed it to 10 megapixel so the file sizes changed. I have it set to take 3 pictures per trigger, so pictures should be in groups of 3. The date and time plus temperature and barometer reading should be at the bottom of each picture after 8/24/2012 when I turned on more features. If you find something interesting that I didn't put below let me know, sometimes I don't look real close if I'm busy.
Interesting Pictures: (
Most Recent
The first night I put it out I caught these two.
Then nothing but me and Pablo for a while...
Shooting bench. I must have been walking just too far away so it triggered as I left the field of view on the right.
Me and Pablo action picture:
Caught a John Deere a couple times:
A 'helper' who was tagging along with Pablo while I moved the camera. Notice in the pond you can see a rock breaking the surface in the gap in the weeds, this only happens on VERY dry summers. This was about the low point for the pond for the year so far.:
Pablo on the N/S Beverage trail while moving the camera again. He knows who has been on the trail, maybe now I'll find out:
Guess who also uses the Beverage trail?
Moved it again, this time those two seem to be in a hurry:
And heading back the other way at a slower pace:
This time there are 3 of them, smile you're on candid camera:
Latest location was kind of a bust, nothing but me and Pablo and some blowing leaves, and all crooked at that:
Setting up in new location, this is what happens when you try to move the camera without turning it off. As long as the USB cable is plugged in on both ends it won't save pictures, but I ran out of hands and put the controller in my pocket and the mini-USB plug came out. Hopefully this place will be better and this won't be the best picture:
This just isn't being very productive... a couple more pics of me and Pablo. Moved to another spot on 10/16. Tried it at night on 10/16, went out and walked past it, the flash was triggering so I figured it was working. (The infra-red flash has a visible red component to it, not sure if that is just the diodes themselves or a separate red one to make it visible to humans for testing). When I went to download the pics on 10/17 there was nothing there. So I tried to reset the settings, cycled power, etc... then went for a walk. While I was walking I looked back at the history of pictures in the controller and the only night pictures were the first night. So I thought that maybe something I did to the settings broke it for night time pics. So I tried resetting to some of their canned settings and forcing it to take night pics, still nothing. So I brought it back into the house and tried again, still nothing. Ok, so new batteries, reformat the SD card, and reset the settings again, and it starts working. Try a few combinations of resolutions and they all seem ok... look at the directories for 2012_10_17 if you want to see lots of pics of my face and the ceiling of the radio shack and radios in infra-red. Then put it back out and tried it at a few different distances, see the 2012_10_17g directory... this is one of the last, the camera is on the 15m tower and we are walking under the NW/SE Beverage antenna which should be about as far away as it should trigger. I KNOW there are deer in this area, Pablo flushed one out while I was putting the camera back on the tower.
Memo to self... Turn off camera before mowing in it's field of view! 66 pictures of me and the DR Mower is a bit much.
Hmmm, brought camera in since it wasn't taking pictures again Monday morning. The IR flash was triggering once a second and doing a triple flash... but it wasn't saving any pictures. That night I tried it again inside and couldn't get it to work until I plugged in a new 12v UPS battery to it's 12v input jack. Then it seemed to come to life and take good pics. It was still working Tuesday morning, so maybe it is just a battery selection problem. I put the downloads in the folders but there isn't anything besides me and Pablo yet.
Well, it seemed to keep working on the UPS battery. I got two packages of the Ultimate Lithium AA cells they recommend, will try it on those now. If they don't last a LONG time I'll probably go back to the UPS battery, the lithium cells are $22 for the 8 cells. It is interesting to compare them to the alkaline ones, they read 1.5v and will source about 4a, the lithium cells read 1.6v and sources about 6a.
Well, I guess its still working, got a deer last night anyway.
Ok, camera has been back where it started for the last couple days... I had thought that would be an interesting spot, and sure enough now that the camera is working properly it produced 78 pictures in 3 days... Some highlights:
A nice little fox:
Followed within minutes by the first of many deer:
And more during the day, the first buck I have seen:
A cat? Looks smaller than the fox with no nose sticking out and moves like cat in the multiple exposures:
A buck at night, the same one or is this one bigger?:
Remember, if you want to see more you can go to the
Trailcam Archive
and look for the other pictures on those days. The camera is set to take 3 exposures for each trigger, so there should be at least 2 more for each of the ones I posted within seconds of each other. The file names are stamped on the top right of the pictures. I don't download every day, but most days you should be able to look for the directory dated the same day or just after the date stamp on the bottom of the picture. And please look at the (Small) ones first until you really want the full detail to spare my outgoing bandwidth.
Plenty more the night of 11/15 (see
directory), a buck, the fox a couple times, and several doe... so it seems the super ultimate lithium batteries are the key to keeping this camera working. Now to see how long they last.
Just noticed the time on the controller didn't change for the end of daylight savings time, so up to 11/22 the times on the pictures are off an hour.
Hmmm, no night pictures for a week or more, and no pictures last night (11/30), though I did see eyes down there and there seem to be new tracks on the bridge. Maybe time to try a different battery again and see if the expensive ones have died already.
Replaced ultimate lithium battery pack with UPS battery, now the cells still read about 1.6v but only source 2.5-3a each. One month for $22 worth of batteries seems a bit much so I think I'll leave it on the rechargeable UPS battery.
Lots of nothing for a while. In the directories from 12/3 and 12/6 there are a bunch of me and Pablo while looking at a tree that fell down and then testing the night capability to see if it was still working.
Then some wildlife starts showing up again first with a whole parade of deer:
Then with the fox:
Then something with longer legs, maybe coyote?? With another one following it?
Then we dispose of the tree:
Hmmm, Pablo and I go for a walk and a half hour later a red fox comes through:
Three deer, probably watching out for Pablo on his evening constitutional, then they come back a few hours later.
Then our first real snow... Pablo waiting for me to catch up on skis.
