"People with allergy or asthma can lead full and healthy lives." — Dr. James Li
Dr. James Li is chair of the Division of Allergic Diseases in the Department of Internal Medicine and a board-certified asthma and allergy specialist. He hopes his expertise and the information on the site educates health care consumers in an area of rapid change both in medications and diagnoses.
"There are a lot of misperceptions about allergy and asthma," says Dr. Li, a New York City native who has been with Mayo since 1985 and works with a group of subspecialists in allergy, asthma and immunology. "I believe it's important to provide truthful, accurate information about allergy and asthma to the public. The more people know, the better they can take care of these conditions."
Dr. Li is a professor of medicine at College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic. He's a past director of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the American Board of Allergy and Immunology, and the American Board of Internal Medicine. He's a fellow in the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology honored him with the Distinguished Service Award, and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology with its Special Recognition Award.

Asthma triggers: Are hard flooring surfaces better than carpet?
My daughter has asthma. Should we replace the carpeting in our home with vinyl or wood flooring?
from James T C Li, M.D., Ph.D.
Reducing exposure to asthma triggers is one of the most important steps you can take to prevent asthma flare-ups.
Carpeting can be a reservoir for allergy-causing substances (allergens) that trigger asthma. Carpeting in the bedroom can be especially problematic because it exposes you to carpet dust throughout the night. Hard-surface flooring such as vinyl, tile or wood is much easier to keep free of dust mites, pollen, pet dander and other allergens.
Steam cleaning carpet on a regular basis can help reduce the presence of dust mites and other allergens in your home. If that isn't enough, replacing carpeting with hard flooring may be a good idea.
If you do put in hard flooring, keep in mind that all synthetic flooring initially releases gasses known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can worsen asthma. In most cases, products stop releasing VOCs after several days. However, some release more VOCs than others. You may want to look into low-VOC flooring if this is a concern.
It might be worthwhile having your daughter see an allergist for allergy skin testing. There may be individualized steps you can take to reduce allergen exposure once you know exactly what your daughter is allergic to.

After what seems like years of sweltering heat here in the Oklahoma Panhandle, it was nice to take a few days and visit Aspen, Colorado so that I could present quintuplous meter at the Aspen Composers Conference, where I also performed Twenty Views of the Trombone, my work-in-progress that attempts to explore what it is like to play the trombone. It seemed like all my college friends headed to Apen every summer and now, fifteen years later, I made it there myself.
The drive from Goodwell to Aspen takes about nine hours, and gives one the pleasure of sampling an enormous variety of flora and fauna. Goodwell, of course, is squarely in the Southern High Plains, and those plains keep getting higher through Cimarron County and into northeastern New Mexico. The further west you drive, the more old volcanoes like Capulin start to rise from the range, and by the time you are in Raton, there are bona fide mountains. Then, heading north on I-25, I passed the daily westbound Amtrak train–the Southwest Chief–as I went through Raton Pass and into Colorado. North of Trinidad, Google instructed me to get off the interstate at Walsenburg, and I headed across more range, but now with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains ahead of me. Lunch was at the Wildflower Cafe in Gardner, a tiny place with a fantastic burger, and I was on the road again. I picked up US50 in Cotopaxi, and followed the Arkansas River and eventually US24 through Salida and Buena Vista. US 50 also winds through Cincinnati, Ohio, where I spent my college years, and I feel a special twinge every time I drive on a road that connects me to somewhere I used to know. It's sort of like when Matt Specter and I worked at schools that were on the opposite site of Ohio Route 41–Northwestern High School in Springfield and Peebles High School in Peebles–I felt somehow connected even though they were 125 miles or so apart! The final turn before Aspen was on to Colorado Route 82, a road that closes down in the winter. I knew that I would at some point go over some mountains, but I wasn't quite prepared for the switchbacks that my company car and I had to take. A light drizzle didn't stop us, though, and we emerged at gorgeous Independence Pass, 12,000 feet above sea level. It was fascinating to watch scrub give way to glades of aspen trees, which then turned into pine forest, and finally, the pines gave way to tundra, and even a little snow. After enjoying the breathtaking view of the Pass, which is located on the Continental Divide, I wound my way down into Aspen to find my hotel. Dinner and some composing in the hotel room, and I was ready for some sleep.
A conference quickly develops its own rhythm as participants stake out their space and figure out how everything works. The Aspen Composers Conference is organized annually by Natalie Synhaivsky, and allows composers to meet to share their work, opinions and ideas. In addition to my presentation on quintuplous meter, topics ranged from analyses of works that continue to inspire various composers, to working techniques and philosophical concerns. Keane Southard's presentation of Frederic Rzewski's The People United Will Never Be Defeated! was fantastic and gave me insight into a piece that I first encountered when I was teaching middle-school general music. The textbook for eighth grade included numerous excerpts from the work, and I've decided that it now needs to be on my list of pieces to investigate more fully. The spectre of Beethoven haunted the room, as not one but two composers chose to address his late music. Anne Goldberg, a composer and choreographer working in New York City discussed her approach to collaboration, in which collaborators are given enormous latitude to create a somewhat improvisatory approach. The day ended with a brief recital, and I represented the trombone with six pieces from Twenty Views, including two world premieres, "What it's not Quite Like," which explores quintuplous meter, and "What it Will (Not) Be Like," a twelve-tone piece using a nifty little tone-row that I came up with last month. I don't know when Twenty Views will be finished. I keep adding to it as I can, and as I have need to–it can turn any occasion I have to play into a world premiere at this point. I'd love to hear any suggestions for titles for new movements.
The drive home was uneventful, but for being held up by a painting crew before I could go back over Independence Pass. It gave me about an hour to pull out the laptop and work on my current project, a band arrangement of the Prelude to Carmen that we will be playing on our first concert. Surrounded by aspen trees with the windows down on a mild mountain morning isn't a bad way to compose.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Well initials of Fox's Sunday interview this morning senator Saxby Chambliss and Joseph Lieberman weigh in on the deadly terror attack and then -- Both expressed concern over the Obama administration's response but agreed the bigger issue is why our personnel -- Nazi or so poorly protect.
We've got to get some State Department officials -- him to really explain why.
You send an ambassador basically on guarded with a few Libyan guards.
And it.
The CIA was not there regarding the presence would have Patrick Kennedy one of the top State Department -- live in here that's not his function to determine security though -- we've got the right person commend him for our next hearing to talk about what we know now about the.
Intelligence of the terrorists who were in the vicinity of Ben Ghazi in my opinion it was irresponsible to have.
Our State Department personnel there -- only through security guards they were evil easily overrun.
In the attack of September 11 either we should have given them.
The protection they deserved or we should have closed that mission and Ben -- as the British government had done.
A short while before.
And joining us now is being an actor actually Sunday Chris Wallace -- Good morning Eric you know I mean that that's a great point that is in the ways somehow been lost in all this controversy emanates tragically their like sitting ducks there.
Well look I've always thought and there are legitimate questions to ask about what Susan Rice sat on the Sunday talk shows and all about -- the time line.
Ed the talking points but in the end nobody died because of that and and -- -- wasn't a cover up it was a very unsuccessful one because it broke down two days later.
This is the key question.
Because there had been dozens of warnings there had been to attacks including an IED which exploded just outside the consulate the red cross and pulled out of Ben Ghazi.
The British.
Ambassador had pulled out of Ben -- he has outposts there.
And that is the question and we also know that in May and August a month before the attack.
That -- Stephens and a lot of talk a black security sent messages saying that you know there are extremist groups here and we don't have enough security.
That's the question because that's what's what -- saved lives why was the decision not made either one to beef up security at the consulate or two to simply say to the ambassador.
They -- and -- like and other countries let's pull out because it's too dangerous.
Exactly as speaking of a Susan Rice and General Petraeus in his testimony and -- -- this week you know saying that someone took out.
The -- references to al-Qaeda -- our I'll sure we -- they just called those attackers extremists.
What are we go from here it seems that the president could be backing Susan Rice -- secretary of state Washington Post today strong editorial against her.
Well interestingly enough I talked to Saxby Chambliss is that vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee which heard from Petraeus.
I asked him you gonna call Susan Rice and he said well look it's up to the committee and -- I trust them.
And I said yeah I think we need to hear from her.
Because she's the case who gave -- these talking points what did she know when she went out on -- Sunday talk shows because to the degree that people believe.
That she was misleading the country at that key moment as to what had happened to make Ghazi.
Who better to talk to than her.
Well I mean it's interesting that senator Chambliss would say she's the key but the president says now she's come after me says she's they UN ambassador -- has nothing to -- -- this.
Well she's gonna talk of the talk of talk shows and I suspect they're not gonna subpoena.
Or ask that the president come and testify Susan Rice is subject to confirmation and especially if he's going to be.
The secretary of state.
She's gonna happen go to Capitol Hill and answer these questions well be -- to see if they.
Do ask her or subpoena her and if -- rice does appear at that hearing Chris always good to see you thank you so much.
Thanks Eric and of course for more --

As I bought it yesterday morning, I got into a Cw match on the new maps with a couple of randomers. it was pretty fun after three matches it was very difficult to get into any anothers. =(

I'm gonna start playing again now that I have the internet in my place finally.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- New Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians has completed his staff with the announcement of the hiring of 13 assistants.
The group includes former Cardinal Stump Mitchell as running backs coach and Amos Jones as special teams coordinator. Mitchell was head coach at Southern University the past three seasons. Jones has spent the last six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and was special teams coach there last year.
Others and their responsibilities are: outside linebackers James Bettcher, defensive line Brentson Buckner, linebackers Mike Caldwell, tight ends Rick Christophel, wide receivers Darryl Drake, offensive assistant Kevin Garver, assistant special teams-assistant tight ends Steve Heiden, pass rush specialist Tom Pratt, defensive backs Nick Rapone, cornerbacks Kevin Ross and assistant offensive line Larry Zierlein.
Freddie Kitchens and Ryan Slowik were retained from coach Ken Whisenhunt's staff. Kitchens will switch from tight ends to quarterbacks coach. Slowik will switch from outside linebackers to assistant defensive backs coach. Arians earlier announced the hiring of defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin and assistant head coach-offense Tom Moore.

Python-based personal data manager
We get personal with Pygmynote, a simple Python-based personal data manager.
Although personal information managers (PIMs) come in all shapes and colors, choosing the one that fits your needs is not as easy as it might seem. Despite trying dozens of otherwise excellent PIM applications, I still haven't found a tool that meets a few rather important requirements. It must be lightweight, so it can run equally fast on a desktop or a less-than-powerful Eee PC, and it must be easy to use with virtually no learning curve. It must be able to access data from anywhere – from a desktop machine or laptop as well as any machine via a web browser. Ideally, the application should let you share data stored in it with other users. Also, it should allow you to store virtually any kind of data: notes, calendar events, URLs, recipes, etc. Finally, the most obvious requirement is that you should be able to retrieve the data you need easily.
Failing to find my ideal PIM tool, I decided to write one myself using Python. The result is Pygmynote [1], a simple Python-based personal data manager (Figure 1).
The idea behind Pygmynote is rather simple. The application uses a MySQL database with a table that has only three fields: id (primary key that uniquely identifies each record in the database), note, and tags.
Using the available commands, you can enter the data you want in the note field, and then use the tags field to describe the data (Figure 2). For example, you can enter a recipe and tag it as "recipes dinner," or you can enter an event and specify its date in the tags field. Need to save an interesting link? No problem: Enter the link in the note field and tag it as url. In other words, you can store pretty much anything in Pygmynote – you just have to tag your data properly (Figure 3).
Piling different types of data up in one application might seem counter-productive – after all, many popular PIMs go to great lengths to help you structure and itemize your data. But this leads to an interesting paradox – imposing a certain structure on your data ultimately makes you less productive. For example, virtually any PIM has a contact module that offers a range of fields such as First Name, Last Name, ZIP, Street, City, Email, Phone, and so on.
But quite often, you don't really need this rigid structure. Why do you need to put the street and zip code in separate fields?
At any rate, it would save you a lot of time and effort if you could just type all the contact info for a particular person in one field.
Also, the traditional approach makes the application less flexible because you can only use the Contacts module to store contact information. If you want to save notes, you need another module, and managing tasks and to-dos requires yet another component. And what if you also need to keep tabs on your recipes, tasks, and to-dos?
Before you know it, you need five or seven different modules or separate applications to keep track of all your data. Pygmynote attempts to solve these problems by allowing you to store any kind of data.
The trick is to describe each type of data properly, so you can quickly retrieve the records you want later.
Because Pygmynote is written in Python, you obviously need to have Python installed on your system. Most, if not all, Linux distributions come with Python pre-installed, so you only have to install a couple of packages to enable the MySQL functionality.
On Ubuntu, use sudo apt-get install mysql-server python-mysqldb to install the MySQL server and the Python for MySQL package.
To do the same on Mandriva, use the urpmi mysql python-mysql command. The MySQL server might refuse to start on Mandriva because of an unresolved bug. Fortunately, it's quite easy to fix that problem. Just execute the command
rpm -e mysql rm -f /var/lib/mysql/ mysql/* /bin/hostname 127.0.0.1 urpmi mysql
and you can then start MySQL server via the Mandriva Control Center.
Next, you must configure Pygmynote so that it can connect to the MySQL database and your IMAP email account. First, open the pygmynote.py script in a text editor and enter the relevant information in the MySQL connection settings and IMAP connection settings section. After you make the script executable with the chmod a+x python.py command, Pygmynote is ready to go.
To launch the script, double-click on it or use the python pygmynote.py command in the terminal.
Then run the create command to create the notes table in the specified database.
Pygmynote on Windows
What if you are on the move and you want to use Pygmynote on a Windows machine without Python? This problem is easy to solve by installing Portable Python [2] on a USB stick. To do this, download the latest version of Portable Python, unzip the downloaded archive, and move the resulting folder to the USB stick. To add the MySQL for Python module to the portable environment, copy the MySQL db folder inside the Python25 \ Lib \ site-packages (on Windows) to the same directory in Portable Python. Also copy the following files: _mysql.pyd, _mysql_exceptions.py, _mysql_exceptions.pyc, and _mysql_exceptions.pyo. Now you can use Pygmynote on any Windows machine.
Pygmynote sports 13 easy-to-remember commands that allow you to find the data you need and perform actions with the records quickly. For example:
- i: Inserts a new note.
- a: Lists all records in the database.
- td: Finds all records containing the current date ("today") in the tags field, which quickly allows you to view the list of tasks and events scheduled for today.
- u: Updates the existing record.
- d: Deletes a record by specifying its ID.
- url: Handles records containing URLs in the note field. Just execute the command, enter the ID number of the desired record, and Pygmynote launches the URL in the default browser.
- w: Saves all the records in the tab-separated pygmynote.txt file. With this command you can back up your Pygmynote data or import it into any application that supports the tab-separated text format, such as OpenOffice.org Calc.
- eml: Retrieves email reminders. For example, if you don't have access to Pygmynote, also you can send an email to yourself containing a specific keyword, such as "Pygmynote" or "Reminder," in the subject line. (You can specify the desired keyword in the IMAP connection settings section of the pygmynote.py script.) You can send yourself email reminders, like "Pygmynote: Remember to buy milk," "Pygmynote: Doctor's appointment," or "Reminder: Pay bills." You can then use the eml command to view the messages containing the keyword.
- h: Shows you a list of all Pygmynote commands.
Tweaking Pygmynote
Because Pygmynote is just a simple Python script, you can tweak it to fit your particular needs or add new functionality. For example, say you plan to use Pygmynote in a multi-user environment and you would like to give users the ability to view their own tasks quickly. Simply add the USERID='' option to the MySQL connection settings section in the script. Then copy an existing elif block and modify it as shown Listing 1.
Listing 1
Find records with a Specific User ID
01 elif command == "my": 02 cursor.execute ("SELECT * FROM notes WHERE tags LIKE '" + USERID + "'""ORDER BY id ASC") 03 rows = cursor.fetchall () 04 for row in rows: 05 print "\n %s %s [%s]" % (row[0], row[1], row[2]) 06 print "\n Number of records: %d" % cursor.rowcount
The my command can be whatever string you like. The next time you add a record, you can add your user ID to the tags field (e.g., "dp"), and view all the records with your user ID by executing the my command.
The great thing about Python is that it comes with a lot of modules that allow you to add nifty features to Pygmynote without too much code wizardry. For example, the w command lets you save data stored in Pygmynote as a text file, but what if you want to upload the file to a remote server for off-site backup? The ftplib module allows you to do so with just a few lines of code (Listing 2).
Listing 2
Upload the pygmynote.txt file via Ftp
01 import ftplib 02 03 conn = ftplib.FTP('ftp.server','username','password') 04 f = open('pygmynote.txt','rb') 05 conn.storbinary('STOR pygmynote.txt', f) 06 f.close() 07 conn.quit()
The ability to generate an RSS feed containing shared records can be another useful feature, especially in a multi-user environment. You have several ways to generate an RSS feed in Python. The code in Listing 3 does this using the xml.etree.cElementTree module. The main advantage of this solution is that the xml.etree.cElementTree module is part of Python 2.5, so you don't need to install any additional software.As you might have figured out, the code publishes only records containing "rss" in the tags field by using the SELECT * FROM notes WHERE tags LIKE '%rss%' SQL statement. This way, you can specify which records you want to share by simply adding "rss" to the tags field.
Listing 3
RSS Feeds from Pygmynote records
01 import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET 02 03 cursor = conn.cursor () 04 cursor.execute ("SELECT * FROM notes WHERE tags LIKE '%rss%'") 05 rows = cursor.fetchall () 06 07 RSSroot = ET.Element( 'rss', {'version':'2.0'} ) 08 RSSchannel = ET.SubElement( RSSroot, 'channel' ) 09 ET.SubElement( RSSchannel, 'title' ).text = 'Pygmynote Feed' 10 ET.SubElement( RSSchannel, 'link' ).text = 'http://localhost/rss.xml' 11 ET.SubElement( RSSchannel, 'description' ).text = 'The feed generated by Pygmynote' 12 for row in rows: 13 RSSitem = ET.SubElement ( RSSchannel, 'item' ) 14 ET.SubElement( RSSitem, 'title' ).text = row[1] 15 ET.SubElement( RSSitem, 'description' ).text = row[2] 16 RSSfeed = ET.ElementTree(RSSroot) 17 RSSfeed.write("rss.xml")
Final Word
Obviously, Pygmynote is not the most sophisticated tool out there, but it provides an alternative approach to managing personal data. Because it's written in Python and sports a rather simple structure, you easily can adapt and extend the script to meet your needs.

Interpersonal Therapy
Another form of psychotherapy was inspired by Beck's early efforts to hold cognitive therapy up to the same rigorous scrutiny as pharmacological interventions. Read more ...
In 2007 Dr. Aaron "Tim" Beck of the University of Pennsylvania won the prestigious Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research for the development of cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy is one of the few forms of psychotherapy that has been rigorously tested in clinical trials. It was first developed to treat depression, but its benefits extend to obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and perhaps even such "physical" ailments as hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic back pain.
Psychological problems result from the erroneous meanings that people attach to events, not from the events themselves.
This central principle of cognitive therapy, identified by Aaron "Tim" Beck in the early 1960s, has provided no less than a basic structure for understanding human nature, particularly with respect to emotional disorders. Today Beck, 87, is among those considering new applications for cognitive therapy even as he receives recognition for its development and use in mood disorders such as depression.
According to the central principle, depressed patients, for example, interpret their experiences in terms of their sense of failure and helplessness. Patients with anxiety think in terms of threats to their physical well-being or social acceptance. People with obsessions perceive their thoughts as dangerous, disgusting or immoral.
In cognitive therapy, patients learn through a variety of strategies to test their faulty beliefs. They then learn to appraise themselves and their futures in a way that is realistic, unbiased and constructive.
Although cognitive therapy has proved highly successful at improving the lives of people with depression and many other conditions, this success would not have been possible without a detailed understanding of what goes on in these patients' minds. Indeed, Beck feels that his greatest contribution was to delineate the inner workings of depression. His work with his own patients, plus his persistent questioning of then-available methods, touched off a chain of reasoning by which he worked out the process of depression in the troubled mind. He found that people who are depressed systematically block out the positive aspects of their life, seeing only the negative. They interpret ambiguous events in a negative way, which he describes as cognitive distortion. If something genuinely negative does occur, they tend to exaggerate its magnitude, significance and consequences. A minor error becomes a major catastrophe. A normal problem becomes an insoluble dilemma. The result of such negative thinking is that the individual feels sad and hopeless, withdraws from other people and may become suicidal.
"I was privileged to start my research on depression at a time when the modern era of systematic clinical and biological research was just getting under way," says Beck. "Consequently, the climate was friendly for such research, and the field for new investigations was wide open." It was the late 1950s. The National Institute of Mental Health had only recently begun funding research and providing salary support for full-time clinical investigators. A national organization called the Group for Advancement of Psychiatry, under the leadership of professionals who were dissatisfied with the field's lack of scientific underpinnings, was providing guidelines, as well as the impetus, for clinical research.
Caught up in the spirit of the times, Beck was prompted to start his own line of research. He was particularly intrigued by the paradox of depression. The disorder appeared to violate the time-honored canons of human nature: the self-preservation instinct, the maternal instinct, the sexual instinct and the pleasure principle. All of these normal human yearnings were dulled or reversed by depression. Even vital biological functions like eating or sleeping were attenuated.
Beck had a "eureka moment" in the early 1960s while reviewing findings from his clinical research in depression. "In talking to my wife about this, everything seemed to click into place all at once." The various components of Beck's research came together: the discovery that negative beliefs shaped his patients' interpretations and that these negative interpretations (or cognitions) then led to the sad feelings, social withdrawal and, especially, suicidal wishes. When the beliefs and cognitions were modified in therapy, the distorted interpretations and the symptoms of depression diminished. Because the distorted cognitions became the focus of treatment and the process of change depended on cognitive restructuring, Beck applied the label "cognitive therapy" to the treatment.
Although cognitive therapy usually focuses on problem solving in the present, by doing that task the patients also develop lifelong skills. With the therapist's help, they learn to identify distorted thinking, modify beliefs, relate to others in different ways and change their behavior. Early in the process the patient sets goals for improving relationships, work, moods and symptoms. Other desired areas of improvement might include pursuing spiritual, intellectual or cultural interests; increasing exercise; decreasing bad habits; or learning new interpersonal or management skills, at work or at home.
In addition to providing strategies to re-pattern negative cognitions, throughout the 1960s Beck developed a number of scales to specifically measure depression, anxiety and suicidality. These are based on the patients' descriptions of their symptoms, feelings, thoughts, wishes and behaviors. The descriptions are converted into items or questions, and each is given a numerical weight. The total scores are then correlated with the clinician's evaluations of the severity of the particular illness. These scales have proved to be effective tools in measuring the extent of the patient's disorder.
Beck's scale that is used for evaluating suicidal behavior, for example, not only predicts who is most likely to make another attempt at suicide but can offer a means of prevention. Called the Beck Hopelessness Scale, it details the individual's evaluation of his or her future. In a 20-year prospective study published in 2000, and a 30-year study now in press, Beck found that a high initial score on the hopelessness questionnaire is a reliable predictor of who will commit suicide. The information has been used successfully to intervene in suicide: Working with patients who have previously attempted it, Beck and colleagues have found that cognitive therapy specifically targeting hopelessness can reduce the likelihood of a subsequent attempt by almost half, as well as reducing both hopelessness and depression.1
In terms of treating depression, Beck says some studies show that cognitive therapy can be just as effective as pharmacotherapy, and superior in preventing relapse. For example, a study in the April 2005 Archives of General Psychiatry found that the benefits of cognitive therapy endure well beyond the end of treatment.1 Patients first underwent 16 weeks of treatment with either cognitive therapy or antidepressants. Those who responded well to each regimen entered a second, yearlong phase of the study. At the beginning of this phase, patients who had received cognitive therapy stopped their treatment, with only three "booster" sessions throughout the year. Patients who had received medication were randomly assigned to either continue their medication or be switched to a placebo on a double-blind basis.
The results reported in the study: Only 30 percent of patients who concluded cognitive therapy relapsed into depressive symptoms, compared to 76 percent of the patients withdrawn from medication and 47 percent of those continuing with medication.
The authors speculated that the lasting effects of cognitive therapy reflect the patients' newfound ability to "do the therapy for themselves." They remarked that the strategies learned "eventually become second nature, coinciding with a parallel change from problematic underlying beliefs to more adaptive ones." In this way, the patient is less likely to become distressed in situations that previously would have spiraled into a depression-producing pattern of thought.
In 2006 Beck published a meta-analysis of more than 100 studies that found similar success for cognitive therapy when compared with medication.2 In a study published online March 5 of this year in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, a team of researchers screened more than a thousand studies of cognitive therapy used to treat anxiety disorders. Narrowing the field to 27 randomized, placebo-controlled trials, the authors found that cognitive therapy yielded significantly greater benefits than placebo treatment and may be even more successful when combined with pharmacotherapy.3
Several imaging studies of cognitive therapy used to treat phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety show restored balance of brain activity in areas often over- or under-activated in patients with these conditions. A neuroimaging study of depression published in the January 2004 Archives of General Psychiatry found that cognitive therapy and pharmacotherapy bring about similar changes, but through different pathways.4
Antidepressants are often described as working from the bottom up. They adjust the exchange of chemical messengers at the synapse, the point of connection between neurons. With balance restored among the various chemicals—typically serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine—a chain of events begins that ultimately results in the depressed patient's beginning to feel better. Exactly what goes on in the brain is not well understood, and the process takes some time. Most patients are on medication for at least three weeks before noticing a difference in mood.
Cognitive therapy, on the other hand, works "top down." Patients learn to monitor, question and redirect their negative interpretations of events—thus bringing much of their emotional state under conscious control. The resulting improvement in mood has ramifications throughout the brain, presumably restoring balance in many specific aspects of the brain's functioning.
Helen Mayberg and colleagues, then at the University of Toronto, used positron-emission tomography (PET) to study the brain changes brought about by cognitive therapy. In a study published in 2004, fourteen patients were scanned before and after they completed 15 to 20 sessions of therapy. The scans were then compared with published imaging studies of the brain in depression, both with and without antidepressant treatment.4
The results suggest that "top down" and "bottom up" are not mere metaphors. Cognitive therapy produced changes in several parts of the prefrontal cortex, the brain's topmost layer. These areas handle "higher" functions such as working memory, processing of personally relevant information, and "cognitive rumination." These functions tend to be impaired in people with depression, and imaging studies often show abnormally high activity in these regions. Cognitive therapy decreased the activity in the prefrontal areas, suggesting improved functioning. On the other hand, the therapy caused increased activity in other areas deeper or "lower" in the brain: the anterior cingulate, involved in directed attention and monitoring of emotions, and the hippocampus, a nexus of memory encoding and consolidation.
The authors of the Toronto study postulated that the pattern of brain changes represents the neural counterpart of cognitive therapy. As patients learn to observe their emotional responses to life events, block the automatic resurgence of distressing memories, and reduce their tendency to brood and overanalyze irrelevant information, the relevant parts of the brain return to a balanced level of activity.
Antidepressant treatment affected many of the same areas but in mirror-image ways—decreased activity in the memory- and attention-serving areas such as the hippocampus and cingulate, and increased activity in the frontal regions that help bring thoughts, possibly feelings, under conscious control. The finding supports the idea that the treatment approaches work in complementary ways—cognitive therapy from the top down, and medication from the bottom up—ultimately stabilizing a complex pathway running between the hippocampal and prefrontal areas.
These visible, measurable effects on the brain may provide one of the best answers to the criticisms that are aimed at cognitive therapy. Among those who sound a cautionary note are members of an original "bottom-up" school of thought: psychoanalysis. In the Freudian tradition, emotional disorders result from past traumas carved so deeply into the psyche that the patient is unaware of them; curing the disorder means excavating these conflicts from the unconscious through the lengthy process of psychoanalysis. Cognitive therapy de-emphasizes the importance of circumstances and events, putting the conscious mind firmly in control.
Peter Fonagy, a professor of psychoanalysis and head of the Anna Freud Center in London (a center for treating children and families with psychological problems), does not suggest that cognitive therapy is ineffective. He does, however, argue that psychoanalysis remains a valuable tool for many patients. Citing studies showing that the benefits of cognitive therapy in anxiety disorders fade over time, Fonagy told the British magazine Prospect that cognitive therapy is "marketed as an antibiotic when it's really an aspirin."
In the May 2003 American Journal of Psychiatry,5 psychiatrist Gordon Parker of the University of New South Wales, Australia, and colleagues reviewed many of the studies showing the superiority of cognitive therapy over other forms of psychotherapy. Again, although the authors did not question the effectiveness of cognitive therapy, they did question the designs of studies that showed it to be universally applicable. Too often, the authors observed, psychotherapies (and medications, too) are tested in a group of patients whose disorder is classified according to its severity—not according to how it manifests in patients, which may be affected by causes ranging from ongoing life difficulties to poor interpersonal skills to biochemical imbalance.
Arguing that cancer treatment modalities, for example, are prescribed according to the nature, not the severity, of the patient's cancer, Parker and his co-authors contend that different types of treatment, including medication, may be warranted for different types of depression. To accurately assess whether cognitive therapy is superior—and for whom—the authors suggest studies of the patients that do respond well, not just those who improve initially but those who continue without relapsing. Pinpointing the "responders" would draw a clearer picture of the success and limitations of cognitive therapy—providing a targeted approach to treating psychological disorders.
Practitioners of cognitive therapy are open to incorporating tools from other psychotherapeutic approaches, such as psychoanalysis, and treatment with cognitive therapy can and often does include medication. In Beck's view, brain imaging studies offer the best counter to claims that cognitive therapy doesn't get at the "real" cause of psychological disorder. "The changes that cognitive therapy produces in key brain regions, and the more enduring effects compared to pharmacotherapy, would not happen if the therapy simply addressed the symptoms. It must be getting at the causes," says Beck. The brain is known to rewire itself according to experience, in a process known as plasticity. Thus the changes brought about by treatment—observable in imaging studies—can literally reconfigure the old circuitry that would otherwise have continued the depression-producing thought processes indefinitely.
Beck is not done with considering how cognitive therapy works and how else it could be applied. Its principles are offering hope not just for mood disorders and mental illness but also for a number of conditions not typically considered "psychological." Beck is conducting a trial of cognitive therapy to ameliorate the "negative" symptoms of schizophrenia, such as apathy and social withdrawal (as opposed to what scientists term "positive" symptoms, such as auditory hallucinations, which are still treated with medication). The therapy has also proved useful in treating medical conditions resulting from the two Gulf Wars, such as post-concussion syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Beck believes that, in addition to effectively treating the classic psychiatric disorders, cognitive therapy will be increasingly used to treat more "medical" problems such as hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic back pain. "A variety of dysfunctional cognitive reactions can lead to medical conditions," he notes. "For example, an inappropriate level of anger can aggravate hypertension. Excessive attention to physical feelings, and exaggerated interpretation of their significance, can play a role in chronic fatigue syndrome and lower back pain. In general, negative thoughts and distorted interpretations can exacerbate almost any physical symptoms." Cognitive therapy is increasingly used, often in conjunction with medication, both to relieve the stress that aggravates these disorders and to enhance the patient's adherence to the more "medical" end of the regime.
Beck is also researching the neurobiological correlates of the cognitive model in depression, with an aim toward pinpointing the changes that cognitive therapy produces in the brain in a variety of disorders. He expects to see further integration of cognitive therapy with other psychotherapeutic approaches that have been proved to be valid. "I doubt that there will be as much fragmentation in the psychotherapeutic field. In all likelihood, there will be one psychotherapy incorporating a variety of approaches, depending upon the patient's characteristics and the nature of the disorder."
Beck, who directs the Center for the Treatment and Prevention of Suicide, based at the University of Pennsylvania, and works with city-run mental health organizations throughout Philadelphia, also anticipates greater dissemination of cognitive therapy into the community.
He views with satisfaction the widespread acceptance of cognitive therapy in institutional and community settings. "Various managed-care companies and mental health centers now expect their therapists to be trained in cognitive therapy. The British government has recently set up a large program for training over 6,000 mental health workers to do cognitive therapy. There are now dozens, if not hundreds, of researchers focusing on the theoretical underpinnings of cognitive therapy, or on its applications."
In the end, Beck returns to the continuing promise of cognitive therapy for fields in which it has already proved so effective. "One of the most promising directions for the present and future is in preventing mental disorders from taking hold," he concludes. "Several studies have been done, and others are under way, to identify those at risk for depression and suicide. With the tools of cognitive therapy, early intervention can help prevent negative thought patterns from developing into full-blown mental illnesses."

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - Richmond junior Mali Kobelja continued to add to her decorated collegiate career on Tuesday when she was named the university's first-ever Atlantic 10 Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Not only is she the first Spider to earn the honor, but she is also the first swimmer in conference history to be selected for the award.
"Since her arrival in Richmond, Mali has immersed herself in the University of Richmond and in the surrounding community," said head coach Matt Barany. "She is a swimmer - a very talented swimmer - but there is much more to Mali. She is motivated to be the best athlete she can be, but she is more motivated by serving others. Mali doesn't measure her success but looks for more inspiration and more opportunities to grow. She will continue to build successful relationships with her family, peers, teammates, professors, coaches and her community."
Kobelja captured a stunning seven gold medals at February's Atlantic 10 Championship in Buffalo, where she was named the meet's Most Outstanding Performer to become the sixth Spider to earn the honor in the program's 11-year history in the league. The Fort Wayne, Ind. (R. Nelson Snider) native raced to three individual golds at the conference meet during which she reset her 200 and 400 IM meet records and clocked another career-best in the 200 breast. Kobelja was also a member of the Spiders' four winning relays that included the 200 and 400 medley relays that set new A-10, facility and school records.
The CSCAA Honorable Mention All-American added her name to a list of five other Spiders who have qualified for their home nation's Olympic Trials when she competed in the 200 IM at June's U.S. Trials in Omaha, Neb. Speaking of lists, the three-time A-10 Performer of the Week enters the 2012-13 season ranked among the top three in the Richmond annals in four events and is a member of four of the program's five record-holding relay squads as well. She will also serve as a captain for the squad for the upcoming season.
Kobelja has been equally successful in the classroom during her first two years on campus. A Biology/Pre-Med major, she earned academic all-conference honors this spring before being designated to the A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll earlier this month. Her 3.75 cumulative GPA also helped lead the program to its fourth-straight CSCAA Scholar All-America Team designation a week ago.
Between achieving athletic and academic accomplishments, Kobelja has also found time to be an active member of the greater Richmond community. She has served as a math mentor to three local sixth graders as part of the Higher Achievement program while also mentoring John Marshall High School students through the Pathways to a College Experience program. She is a Youth Life Foundation of Richmond volunteer and serves as a Community Outreach committee member with Students for Educational Equality. In addition to these experiences, Kobelja has translated flyers as a volunteer with the Manchester YMCA, helped lead the YoungLife Ministries' Timothy Project and worked as a University of Richmond Swim Clinic coach.
While Kobelja becomes the first Spider, male or female, to earn the A-10 Scholar of the Athlete Honor, three former program standouts in Kristin Newkirk (2002), Elizabeth Cook (2003) and Nicole LePere (2010) have been selected as the league's Swimming & Diving Student-Athletes of the Year.
The conference's annual Scholar Athlete of the Year award is presented to a male and female from an Atlantic 10 Conference member institution who best exemplifies the term "student-athlete". Each nominee must be a starter or significant contributor to his or her team and must carry at least a 3.0 GPA. Each institution is permitted one nominee from each gender. The award is then voted on by the league's Directors of Athletics.

The Blue Jays conducted a post-trade deadline conference call this afternoon and here are some of the highlights of GM J.P. Ricciardi's comments.
It seems Scott Rolen asked to be traded for personal reasons and the Jays managed to accommodate him while at the same time making a decent deal that brings back, in addition to Edwin Encarnacion, earning $4.75 million next season in the final year of his contract, two good young arms. Righthander Josh Roenicke, 27, will report to the major-league team tomorrow, while righthander Zach Stewart, 22, will be assigned within the minor-league system. His future role as a starter or reliever will be determined.
Ricciardi indicated that he received calls from about 10 teams regarding Roy Halladay, but that only 2-3 seemed serious about meeting the Jays demands for one of the best pitchers in baseball. None of them blew him away with any "wow" factor.
He did not deny the possibility that a Halladay trade could be explored again in the off-season or that any team looking to trade for Doc might be allowed to negotiate an extension for the pitcher before the trade is finalized. That option, of course, would increase the value of the package the Jays might get back.
The Jays will pay the remainder of Rolen's salary for 2009.

Revolution Thermogenic Push Extreme Fat Burner -- 100 Capsules
Made me sick :(
This is a powerful supplement. Tread lightly, especially in combination with the Ab Cuts for women. I've been on them for a week and it's the only new thing I've had so it has to be them. I've been nauseous and haven't even taken the full recommended doses. I ended up being VERY sick last night and ate healthy all day. It's the only explanation I can think of.

Orthodox Christian Fellowship
Father Matt Conjelko, the Spiritual Advisor of the IUP OCF visited IUP's campus to offer dorm/apartment blessings for participating OCF members. As a graduating senior, I greatly appreciated this treat. The students learned about the reasons we have our homes blessed. I was also so very happy to receive and learn about an icon Father had brought for each student, as a reminder of the apartment blessings that occurred. Having this connection to my faith brought to my personal living quarters solidified my personal satisfaction within the gifts in Orthodoxy.On Dec 5, 2012, IUP's OCF gathered in the church basement to learn about the importance and religious ties to baking phosphora. The students had a hands on, "behind the scene" experience with Father Matt Conjelko, his Pani Mary-Margaret and their 3 children. Numerous loaves were made for surrounding churches as a Nativity offering from the students of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Submitted by a College Senior at IUP.

RETRIBUTION AT BANGHIANG RIVER (dvd)
$ 49.95 Unavailable Back
RETRIBUTION AT BANGHIANG RIVER It all sounded so good when the Asian businessmen described it. The clubs were so posh. The customers were so respectful. And the money was ten times the amount they were making in the U.S. strip bar. So girls take a chance, board a plane paid for by their southeast Asian sponsors, and travel to the other side of the world, seeking adventure, and profits. But once there, the glamour and prestige, once talked of, is nowhere in sight. Forced to dance naked at filthy bars around Southeast Asia, girls are routinely grabbed by marauding groups and taken to secluded hideaways, in hooches and barges, and are turned into the objects of scorn and ridicule by men who resent American girls corrupting the morals of Asians. Whipppings, weltings, bare naked punishments, and perverted sexual activities become the new reality for these unfortunate dancers. They not only deal with the torments, but disgusting traditions borne long ago in the far east.
