My 16 year old daughter has OCD and depression. HEr OCD is
Resolved Question:
My 16 year old daughter has OCD and depression. HEr OCD is not under control, however, her depression persists. She takes 60 mg of Prozac and Abilify (I think 1 mg) per day - she takes no other medication. An article from the August 2010 issue of American Journal of Psychiatry was brought to my attention and I wanted to get an unbiased opinion of haveing her
S-Adenosylmethionine supplements to her therapy.
S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe) Augmentation of Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors for Antidepressant Nonresponders With
Major Depressive Disorder
: A Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial

SAMe has some good research supporting its use in depression. I have a colleague who uses it exclusively as an antidepressant...and there is the research that you saw which points out that in can work in conjunction with antidepressants. The risks are fairly minimal overall, especially if you go very slowly with the dose. Always double check with her doctor before starting any treatment like this.
However, I want to point out some other important information.
OCD & depression should both be treated holistically. Most research on these 2 conditions show the best approach is a combination of medications & psychotherapy.
I almost always recommend 1) psychotherapy with a live therapist, and 2) learning some formal relaxation therapy. Also, by formal relaxation therapy I mean yoga,
, or similar methods. Having relaxing hobbies is also important, but not quite the same as formal relaxation therapy.
These last 2 treatments I mentioned are proven by sophisticated studies using brain scans (CT, MRI, EEG, pet scans) to improve brain function. Here's a simple exercise to get you started:
In fact, there is more & more research showing the efficacy of relaxation therapy. Another technique is called mindfulness. These technique has recently been incorporated into a specific type of psychotherapy called CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) & is being called MCBT. Preliminary studies are promising.
And remember you can't separate emotional health from physical health, so exercise & nutrition are vital.
The easiest thing to start with would be self-help books. The main one that comes to mind for you is "The OCD Workbook: Your Guide to Breaking Free from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" by Bruce M., Ph.D. Hyman and Cherry Pedrick. Even if you don't have full OCD, this book can be very helpful. There are many other similar books (just google, search amazon.com, or check your library/bookstore for books on obsessions or OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing" by Judith L. Rapoport is another excellent one.
Other books that can help include the following: 1) "The Feeling Good Handbook" by David D. Burns; 2) "The Relaxation &
Reduction Workbook" (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) by XXXXX XXXXX, and 3) "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" by Deepak Chopra.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information. Good luck & take care.
Please let me know if you need more information. We can continue the dialog until you are satisfied.

The phasing out of coal as a polluting technology, in favor of a more clean, renewable approach.
No Such Thing as "Clean" Coal
On October 08, 2008, New Energy Congress member, Adrian Akau wrote:
There is really no such thing as "clean" coal. Even if you take all of the non-carbon contents out, the resultant burning still produces enormous amounts of carbon dioxide. We may be getting to the stage where we will have to be concerned about the amount of oxygen we have left in the atmosphere to breath. I read that the % of oxygen has decreased somewhat in the past century and that some sickness are enhanced because of this. I read that a research paper comparing the health of people living at low compared to high altitudes showed that it was the lack of oxygen that was harmful for certain ailments. Oxygen used to be about 20% of the atmosphere but today in some places, it is as low as 16%. Carbon dioxide is actually a fairly heavy gas (molecular weight 44 as compared to oxygen 32 and nitrogen 28) so that during times of little wind, it would have a tendency to settle in pockets. That is one reason cave exploration can be so hazardous.
People living in large cities in India have such a high incidence of lung disease that older diesel motors have been banned. I have not read any carbon dioxide studies but reducing the amount of oxygen available, certainly places a strain on the heart, especially for old people with weak hearts and those with any type of lung problems. I sometimes see older folk carting or carrying around a small tank of oxygen as they shop for food.
Carbon dioxide sequestering seems to be a stupid idea because the process also sequesters oxygen in the process. Someone needs to present calculations showing how the burning of coal, oil and natural gas is affecting our oxygen supply. The question really boils down to "how much oxygen would be left in the atmosphere if all fossil fuels were consumed?" Yes, people will say that trees and algae will take care of the oxygen production but the real concern is what level of oxygen is required to maintain a good healthy atmosphere for humans as well as for other living organisms.
On October 08, 2008, in response to the question, 'should we allow the AmericasPower.org ads from our sites, New Energy Congress member, Adrian Akau wrote:

Personally, methinks that if it ain't Karrick Low-Temperature Carbonization of Coal, it's just another welfare program for technocrats.
Karrick-LTC: 1 bbl oil/ton coal, free, plus 1500 lb smokeless char, & water-gas. No hydrogeneation, no additive chemicals. We paid for it in the 1930s, and it got suppressed. No other technology can compare with it. It can be done by "anyone" on any scale.

Melt-in-your-mouth Cheddar cheese recipes like Ratatouille Cheddar Bake and Broccoli and Cheddar-Stuffed Mushroom Caps.
Cheddar and broccoli make a natural match. If you prefer extra zing, bump up the hot sauce.

With all the sweet flavours of vegetables that ratatouille brings, this is a no-fail winner — and a delicious way to introduce eggplant to the household.
This rich and intensely flavoured English-style soup will become a winter favourite. Use a three- to five-year-old Cheddar for the best flavour. At the end of cooking, adjust salt to taste if necessary, because the salt content of the cheese and broth varies. Pass the pepper mill at the table.
Cheese toasts are a perennial favourite on an hors d'oeuvre tray and make a wonderful snack with beer.
Classic English potted cheese is the perfect make-ahead appetizer for a busy party season. If you like, split it between two pots to give as gifts.

I haven't posted here in quite some time, so I thought I should check in.
I have had a horrible fall/winter:
The day I got home from the Seagull Century last October my apartment caught fire. All of my belongings that were salvageable went into storage and I had to live in a motel, then a temporary apartment. I haven't had the opportunity to get out on two wheels in almost four months.
I had a major dispute with my employer over certain business practices, and felt that I had to leave my job.
My 91 year old mother passed away, and my flight to Florida for her memorial service was canceled by a snow storm that dropped nearly two feet on Philadelphia.
On the positive side:
I did get a flight to Florida in time to see my mother a few days before she died. I had the opportunity to tell her that I love her, and she was lucid enough to understand.
The memorial service was pushed back by two weeks and this time I KNOW that my flight won't be canceled by snow.
I know that I won't be snowed in because I finally screwed up my nerve and bailed out of the "rust belt". I figured that if I was going to have to look for a new job in this economy, I should do it in an area where I wanted to live. Because all my belongings were in storage, it was a simple matter to get them packed into a "Pod" and shipped. So on Saturday Feb 13, with the temp at 22 and over three and a half feet of snow on the ground, my youngest son and I left suburban Philadelphia and drove to Arizona. I've rented an apartment in Tucson, and after my mother's memorial (this Thursday) I'll start looking for work.
I must be ka-razy.

The diocesan ministries of Catholic Charities, the Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo and the Retirement Fund for the Religious offer many opportunities to share our God-given gifts with others. We invite you to explore and prayerfully discern what commitment of your resources God is calling you to offer to His work at this point in your spiritual journey.

Vizslas are medium- to high-maintenance dogs that require a lot of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. A misbehaving Vizsla is invariably a bored and/or inactive Vizsla. A Vizsla's need for human companionship is strong; thus your Vizsla's emotional well being would be best served by housing it indoors. Vizslas are robust hunting dogs, but there are a number of hereditary illnesses for which a given Vizsla and its sire and dam should be tested before you assume ownership of it. If healthy and properly cared for, your Vizsla should enjoy a lifespan of anywhere from 10 to 15 years.
Vizslas are generally healthy and long-lived, and possess an energy level that will more than match your own. However, there are several health conditions of varying seriousness that are known to afflict the Vizsla breed. Before you purchase an adult or puppy, you may wish to have tests conducted and/or certificates provided for the following Vizsla health problems (in cases where certification is not available, a Vizsla breeder may provide a guarantee against inherited conditions):
According to hip dysplasia statistics from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), the Vizsla ranks 108th among breeds that have had at least 100 evaluations between January 1974 and December 2008. Just over 11,600 Vizslas have been evaluated in that time, and 7.2% of them were found to be dysplastic. The high number of evaluations is one proof of how seriously Vizsla breeders have taken this problem. An OFA certification of the parents of your Vizsla puppy means that their hips were x-rayed and evaluated for abnormal results and found to be in excellent, good, or fair condition.
Epileptic seizures are another Vizsla health problem. No certification is available for this condition. However, if a Vizsla has epilepsy, it's often evident by the time it's about two or three years old, and sometimes not until its fourth or fifth year. Responsible Vizsla breeders will provide guarantees against inherited epilepsy. Even if your Vizsla is diagnosed with epilepsy, it can be treated and controlled with appropriate medication.
An underactive thyroid reduces a Vizsla's metabolism level, resulting in a wide variety of possible symptoms. This condition may be caused by allergies, air pollution, or an improper diet. Thyroid problems can be diagnosed via full thyroid testing, including FT4, cTSH, and TgAA.
Sebaceous adenitis is a skin disease in which the sebaceous glands become inflamed. A Vizsla with this condition will display mild scaling and a moth-eaten appearance. SA is usually found in young adult dogs. It can be diagnosed via a skin-punch biopsy.
Entropion and retinal atrophy are two eye conditions that can affect Vizslas. Eye health can be certified annually through the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF).
Other medical conditions to which Vizslas may be susceptible include hemophilia, heart defects, von Willebrand disease, and cancer. Vizsla dogs are sometimes allergic or sensitive to vaccines, chemicals, and common anesthetics. Food or skin allergies may also occur.
The Vizsla Club of America's (VCA) code of ethics regarding breeding states the following: "VCA members shall breed only those dogs who have a DNA number and are free of serious hereditary defects (including epilepsy, progressive retinal atrophy, Von Willebrands, entropion and cranial muscular atrophy), and are over two years of age and have been x-rayed and OFA-certified as free from hip dysplasia."
A Vizsla's greatest needs are exercise and human contact. Vizslas will often literally follow their owner(s) from one place to another within the house. While it's important to have access to a fenced yard or other area where your Vizsla can go for off-leash running, your dog's mental and emotional health will tend to suffer if he or she is required to sleep outdoors. A Vizsla can tolerate living in an apartment or smaller home, but only if you provide a lot of running and walking as compensation. Do not take on the responsibility of owning a Vizsla if you're not prepared to give it the ample attention and physical activity it requires.
With adult Vizsla dogs, try to replicate the sleeping conditions they had before moving into your home. A soft bed with exposure to the sun may be preferred. With Vizsla puppies, you may wish to create a partitioned area where they can play and sleep. Allow your puppy some time to explore its new home, and give it plenty of love and attention-along with a few treats. Vizsla puppies are known for being somewhat difficult to housetrain, and crate training is often recommended. Vizsla puppies also like to chew on things, so keep your puppy in certain areas of the house or make sure that any potentially dangerous snacks (e.g. electrical cords) are inaccessible.
If your Vizsla absolutely must sleep outdoors, then it's best to provide a shelter that is comfortable and well insulated. The Vizsla's thin coat offers little protection against cold weather. The shelter should offer enough room for your dog to move around, but don't make it too big. A smaller shelter will help your Vizsla to feel secure, and will also offer greater warmth.
A large yard and plenty of indoor and outdoor space is the best living situation for a Vizsla. Ideally, a Vizsla should not be left alone during the day. If necessary, employing a dog walker to exercise your Vizsla would help it to cope with daily absences.
It's difficult to overstate the need that a Vizsla dog has for exercise. The Vizsla is very athletic and is one of the oldest hunting breeds in the world. This is not a dog that will be content with sedentary apartment living and a short daily walk. Jogging, running, swimming (Vizslas are typically excellent swimmers), hunting, hiking, roller blading, and extensive walking are all activities that a Vizsla would enjoy. A long walk twice a day might be adequate, but a Vizsla would be happiest if it can run-preferably off-leash-for at least 30 minutes, and preferably an hour or more, every day. If you're a jogging addict or part of a family that loves being outdoors or going to the lake or the farm on the weekends, then a Vizsla would be an ideal companion.
If a Vizsla is not getting enough exercise, behavioral problems are very likely to ensue. These are often compounded by the fact that Vizslas need a lot of mental stimulation as well. Destructive behaviors caused by a lack of exercise include hyperactivity, chewing, and digging huge holes in the yard. Vizsla puppies will tend to jump on or at people.
A healthy, well-cared for Vizsla will typically live from 12 to 15 years. However, that range may vary by two years or more either way (10 years to 17 years).
The Vizsla breed's exercise needs may be high, but in the grooming department it's a blessedly low-maintenance dog. Viszlas are naturally clean with little to no smell-unless they've been mucking about in swamps during a hunting excursion. But even then, their short, close-lying coats help keep them from getting too muddy or smelly. They may shed more than you'd expect for dogs with such short coats, but their twice-annual shedding can be minimized with regular brushing (it's best to brush outside if anyone in your household is allergic). Vizslas also lack an undercoat, which makes them an acceptable choice for some people with allergies. Bathing your Vizsla is seldom necessary. A weekly nail clipping, teeth cleaning, and brushing is about as complicated as a Vizsla's grooming needs get.
Bathing your Vizsla too often will cause its coat to lose color, and will remove natural oils that keep its skin from drying out. Bathe only as necessary, and use a natural or dry shampoo. It's not unusual for a Vizsla to be bathed just twice a year. More frequent spot washing of your dog's face is fine, and will help to keep up its appearance. Regular use of a bristle brush would also help to keep your Vizsla's coat and skin healthy. Check your Vizsla's paws and eyes daily and ears weekly for signs of infection, and gently remove debris.

This week, the buzz surrounded the simultaneous release of Kanye West's Yeezus, J. Cole's Born Sinner, and Mac Miller's Watching Movies With the Sound Off, as the albums battled it out for chart supremacy. Not to be outdone, Jay-Z announced his next album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, and rolled it out with an impressive business plan. Finally, another death in Hip Hop occurred as Lil Snupe, only 18 years old, was fatally shot.
Kanye West, J. Cole & Mac Miller's Albums Get High Marks
Kanye West's Yeezus, J. Cole's Born Sinner, and Mac Miller's Watching Movies With the Sound Off kept HipHopDX's review section busy this week, with each album dropping on the same day.
Yeezus was the first reviewed, with DX noting that Kanye's bravado may be brazen, but will certainly be appreciated down the line, if not right away:
"It's likely too soon for the populace to cosign Kanye's 'The only rapper compared to Michael [Jackson]' bar on 'I Am A God,' but it was initially too soon when Jay-Z brazenly alluded to being better than the Notorious B.I.G. on The Blueprint's 'Hola Hovito' in 2001 ('And if I ain't better than Big / I'm the closest one'). In the end, the masses sided with Hov. Some statements are too uncomfortably cocky to digest without time and consideration. But West's 'I feel my confidence + someone's low self-esteem = my arrogance' quote from his motivational booklet, Thank You And You're Welcome given away for free during his 2008 Glow In The Dark tour comes to mind when gawking at the super-sized super ego he sports like his Yeezy Red October signature sneaker."
Dubbed 808s & Anger by the review, Yeezus was ultimately called "jarring, uncomfortable, uncompromising and courageous—all the things that initially made Hip Hop great."
The most improved award went to J. Cole, whose Born Sinner was noted for its "improved production, cadences, and subject matter," and successfully dodging the sophomore curse:
"J. Cole is determined to earn the continued approval of his hometown Fayetteville, NC and the Rap legends to come before him. On the opening track 'Villuminati' he repeats the phrase, 'Sometimes I brag like Hov' before launching into verbal onslaught, perhaps setting out to convince listeners that he should one day be held in comparison to his iconic boss. Arguably the most honest moment of introspection on Born Sinner arrives with 'Let Nas Down,' a brave yet awkward tale of how the QB veteran shunned Cole's prior measures taken in the pursuit of success. He looks back with regret, pleading, 'I couldn't help but that think that maybe I had made a mistake / I mean you made 'You Owe Me' dog, I thought that you could relate,' reflecting his greatest strength and weakness in a vulnerability that risks backfiring."
Finally, Mac Miller's Watching Movies With the Sound Off provided fans with "more focused" Mac, and "showcas[ed] an improved execution alongside a murderer's row of new school misfits."
"Musically, this album can be traced back to moments of Macadelic and You, but his execution has unquestionably improved," reads the review. "With a melancholic backdrop seeping through his patient prose, 'REMember' details the passing of his close friend, Reuben Mitrani. While still shaken, Mac finds solace in wisdom as he raps, 'Your life's short, don't ever question the length / It's cool to cry, don't ever question your strength.' Elsewhere, he embraces his baritone vocals with the unexpected treasure 'Objects In The Mirror.' The topic here plays off the metaphorical outline of his previous dependence to 'lean,' and Mac's ability to mirror his words as if he's describing an unhealthy relationship speaks to his lyrical ingenuity."
Jay-Z Announces Magna Carta Holy Grail
Not content to let everyone else have all the fun, Jay-Z not only announced that he would be dropping his next project soon, but that he's already sold one million copies.
During halftime of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, a commercial aired featuring Jay-Z recording in a studio with Rick Rubin, Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beatz, and Timbaland. The spot, which was actually a Samsung commercial, served to announce Jay-Z's next project, Magna Carta Holy Grail.
Hov explained that he and Samsung teamed up, with the electronics company buying one million copies of the album. The copies will be given to Samsung Galaxy smartphone users for free, three days ahead of its July 4 release:
For those wondering, however, Magna Carta Holy Grail won't be immediately certified platinum.
Yeezus Currently Leads Born Sinner & Watching Movies With The Sound Off In Sales Battle
Hip Hop is looking to have three releases debut at 100,000+ copies sold for the first time since 2006.
Currently, Kanye is in the lead, with Yeezus projected to sell 360,000-380,000 copies. Next, J. Cole's Born Sinner is close behind, with Billboard reporting "270,000 to 290,000, with 300,000 easily in reach."
Mac Miller is expected to move approximately 100,000 copies of Watching Movies with the Sound Off.
There was speculation, apparently, that Jay-Z pitted Cole against West, which the Roc Nation artist denied. Regardless, it's shaping up to be quite a sales battle.
Meek Mill Artist Lil Snupe Tragically Gunned Down At 18
Death has reared its ugly head, as Meek Mill's artist Lil Snupe died, fatally shot twice in the chest prior to a Louisiana Concert.
Meek had just signed the Jonesboro, Louisiana rapper in April. Snupe's manager, as well as Meek, confirmed the rapper's death on Twitter:
The streets killed my Lil nigga Snupe...I always told him don't try 2 keep it real wit the streets.... Bcuz they won't keep it real wit you
— Meek Mill (@MeekMill) June 21, 2013
Snupe was shot at the Maplewood Apartment Complex in Winnfield, Louisiana. He was in the area for a concert appearance. A suspect has already been identified.
Artists such as Turk and Bun B issued condolences over Twitter.
Machine Gun Kelly Talks Addiction & Trashes Molly Rap
This week, Machine Gun Kelly sat down with HipHopDX. During the interview, MGK spoke about his history of personal drug addiction.
"I have and have had addiction problems of what I choose to be addicted to. I'll leave it at that. I don't ever encourage drug use by promoting what I've done in a conversation. In music and stuff, I'll divulge a lot more than I will in a personal conversation. I write every song from a first-person experience, but I haven't gotten to the point where I have to tell everybody else a story yet. There's still so much in my life I haven't told, that I still have material in my life to write about. So I haven't gotten to the point where I have to write from so-and-so's perspective unless I choose to. Pretty much everything everyone's heard, so far in my music, is all me."
MGK also took the time to demote molly Rap, criticizing emcees that glorify its use.
"I don't…why would you wish those demons on anyone?" he continued. "They're not fun at all. Heat flashes at 7 a.m. in the morning aren't fun. Scratching at your skin until you bleed is not fun. All that shit…why would you wish that on anybody? Why do people promote molly? You won't hear me rap about that shit, and I did that shit years ago, when I was like, 'What the fuck is this?' They're like, 'Just lick your finger, dab it in there, and just rub it on your teeth and gums.' And this is back when I was really in the fucking out-of-my-mind stage. Thirty minutes later, I'm running on a beach and shit! Then I woke up in a horrible mood the next day. I almost swung on some old dude because he told me to pull up my pants. Drugs just don't make you a pleasant person. So I hate being around mothafuckas that are looped out as well—just all those negatives…
"I would never wish my negatives on anybody else, and a negative to me is drugs, dude. And plus, if some 15-year-old white girl named Cindy is doing a drug, I'm not trying to do that fucking drug. People are making drugs like fucking, God damn clothes. It's become a fucking trend. Now I don't want to do it because fucking Cindy is doing it. You go to fucking Coachella and no one knows a God damn band performing—they just go to see what the hype is—and they're like, 'Oh, well I'm just supposed to go. I got the money, the drugs.' Pop culture right now is so ridiculous dude."

Collins: I'll probably retire before Friedel and I'm only 27
James Collins hailed evergreen Brad Friedel after his dynamic Newcastle display, insisting: "I will probably retire before him and I'm only 27."
Collins was full of praise for the USA ace after his inspirational performance in the Toon victory.
The goalkeeping great made two world-class saves from Newcastle forward Peter Lovenkrands in the 1-0 win.
He got down low to his left to keep out a bullet header and then saved with his legs with the clock ticking down.
Collins was not surprised with his ace antics because he sees first-hand how hard Friedel works during the week.
He said: "We knew how vital the points were and Brad made a great save right at the death to keep us in it and give us the win.
"Since I've been at the club, he has been unbelievable - week-in and week-out.
"He is such a good professional in the way he handles himself off the pitch and he is in the gym every day still at 40.
"He is a credit to himself and his professionalism is second to none.
"I think I will retire before him the way he is going and I'm only 27! The way he looks after himself off the pitch and the way he goes about his business is great and he is just a world-class keeper, simple as that.
"When he is called upon, if he has made 100 saves or no saves in a game, you can always rely on him.
"He has been doing the same thing for years and years in the Premier League."
Friedel earnt the player plaudits after the match for his breathtaking last-minute save but Collins was the man in the right place at the right time at the other end.
He said it was the most important he has scored in claret and blue so far.
He added: "I scored a late one at Blackpool a couple of month's back that was big but to score the winner in such an important game was good.
"We knew - everyone around the club - that it was a big game. We want to be winning our remaining home games.
"We set out before the Everton game on an eight-game season and we've got four from the first two which is massive. We are now just concentrating on picking up as many points as we can."

Birth Place: New Zealand
Tamahori next took on an even more iconic hero from fiction and film: Bond, James Bond. In 2002 the director helmed the 20th instalment of the 007 franchise, "Die Another Day," in which he cleverly paid tribute to the film's precursors in several visual homages, illicited the best performance yet from star Pierce Brosnan, turned Oscar-winner Halle Berry into an action hero-style Bond Girl and generally updated the franchise for the 21st Century. He next helmed the second film in the "xXx" franchise, an urban spin on Bond style spy flicks. Tamahori's distinctive action was the principal attraction of the less-impressive "xXx: State of the Union" (2005) which plugged Ice Cube into the lead rol...

The Butler women's soccer team will look to extend its eight-match home unbeaten streak this weekend when it hosts conference foes Temple and Saint Joseph's. The Bulldogs have not lost at the Butler Bowl since Aug. 17.
In their first conference road trip of the year, the Bulldogs (8-4-3, 2-1-2) tied and lost to Richmond and VCU last weekend, respectively.
Butler tied Richmond 2-2 last Friday thanks to a clutch goal in the 90th minute by junior midfielder Jackie Hafele. The goal was Hafele's first of the season.
Two days later, the Bulldogs were narrowly outlasted by VCU 1-0 with the Rams picking up the lone goal in the 80th minute. The loss snapped Butler's seven-match unbeaten streak.
Freshman standout Sophia Maccagnone and the Butler offense will be put to the test Friday against Temple. Maccagnone is tied for fourth in the conference with a team-best eight goals.
The Owls (5-9-2, 2-3-0) rank third in the A-10 in goals against average (0.90) and shutouts (6).
Temple uses a platoon at goal, with senior Tara Murphy (nine starts) and freshman Shauni Kerkhoff (seven starts) splitting time. Both goalkeepers rank in the league's Top 5 in save percentage and saves per game.
Murphy and Kerkhoff have helped Temple to a No. 8 national ranking in save percentage (0.885). Kerkhoff leads the A-10 with a 0.51 goals against average.
Friday's match is this season's "Real Dawgs Wear Pink" match in support of breast cancer awareness.
Butler's task won't get any easier Sunday when it faces 5th-place Saint Joseph's. The Hawks (8-5-2, 3-1-1) have lost just once in their past six matches. Saint Joseph's is led by reigning Atlantic 10 Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Week Mo Hawkins, who leads the team with six goals.
Hawkins had a hand in three of the Hawks' four goals last weekend, scoring twice and dishing out an assist in Saint Joseph's wins over Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

What is religion? How is it to be explained? Why do human beings believe in divinities? Why do the beliefs and behaviors we typically describe as religious so deeply affect the human personality and so subtly weave their way through human society?Introducing Religion: Readings from the Classic Theorists presents eleven key texts from influential theorists who played a pivotal role in the modern enterprise of explaining the phenomenon of religion. These writings seek to account for the origin, function, and enduring human appeal of religionby drawing on methods of scientific scholarship unconstrained by theological creeds or confessional commitments.Introducing Religion opens with selections from the works of Edward Burnett Tylor and James Frazer--Victorian pioneers in anthropology and the comparative study of religion. It then offers entry into the provocative analyses of Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim, and Karl Marx, whose aggressivereductionist approaches framed the explanatory debate for much of the century to follow. Responses to reductionist theories--and new directions in explanation--claim a place in selections from the works of philosopher-psychologist William James, theologian Rudolf Otto, sociologist Max Weber, andcomparativist Mircea Eliade. The volume ends with discussions drawn from the celebrated field studies of British anthropologist E. E. Evans-Pritchard and the interpretive anthropology of American theorist Clifford Geertz, whose fieldwork took him to both Asia and the Middle East. Brief careerportraits of the theorists at the outset of each chapter give context to the readings, and a general introduction features guiding questions designed to help students assess and compare the different theories.Offering an illuminating overview of this controversial and engaging subject, Introducing Religion: Readings from the Classic Theorists is ideal for introductory courses in religion as well as courses in method and theory of religion, world religions, and sociology, psychology, or anthropology ofreligion.

Up the Chagres River
By KYRA STENSLIE
Peace Corps Response Panama, 2012
Peace Corps Paraguay, 2006–2008
During my Peace Corps Response service in Panama, I was warmly accepted and treated as a valuable member of my host community, just as I had been as a two-year volunteer in Paraguay. My experience serving in Paraguay was life-changing and certainly worth repeating. The fond memories and life lessons I learned from that original experience are what inspired me to apply to Peace Corps Response. I was excited to once again have the opportunity to utilize my teaching skills and share my enthusiasm for learning in a new and distinct part of the world.
As a Peace Corps Response Volunteer in Panama, I created and taught a basic English curriculum to children and adults in an indigenous village. The Embera tribe I lived and worked with reside on the Chagres River and depend on tourism for their livelihood. My role was to help facilitate communication between the Embera people and the daily tourists that visit their village. This was done through my daily English classes as well as informal conversation throughout their work day with tourists.
Each morning I awoke to the peace, quiet, and beauty of living in a secluded native village on the river. I quickly adapted to climbing up and down the ladder of my host family's raised hut each day, sleeping in the fresh air on the wooden floorboards, and eating the traditional meal of fried tilapia and plantains. The quiet mornings always transitioned into busy afternoons with the arrival of tourists to the village. The Embera shared their traditional music, dance, and artisan crafts with the visitors. Living on government land prevents this tribe from growing crops, which is why they rely heavily on the income they make from tourist visits each day. In a small isolated village only accessible by dirt road and dug-out canoe, the few hours of international tourism brought a very unique clash to the otherwise remote conditions.
In addition to my daily classes, I worked in collaboration with APROCO (Asociación de Profesionales Costarricenses), a Costa-Rican organization in Panama City. My APROCO counterparts were teachers who had spent the last several years working in the Embera village in order to help promote literacy in both Spanish and the Embera language. They requested a Peace Corps Response Volunteer to aid their education work by focusing specifically on English language skills. I transferred my lesson plans and materials to my counterparts for the continuation of my teaching English project in the community.
Throughout my three months, I enjoyed watching my students progress and increase in their confidence to speak basic English. I was impressed by their motivation and desire to learn as a way to improve their education and to better share their culture with others. Being a Peace Corps Response Volunteer is an unforgettable and extremely worthwhile experience, and a brief opportunity to help make a difference. Experiencing the joys and challenges of a new culture, forming friendships around the world and seeing things through the eyes of the host community are what make a Peace Corps Response service so memorable and unique.

Almost two years to the day, Canadian convenience store chain Alimentation Couche-Tard (OTC:ANCUF) announced it was offering to buy American rival Casey's General Stores (Nasdaq:CASY) for $1.9 billion. Couche-Tard ultimately backed out after Casey's borrowed heavily to buyback $500 million or 25% of its stock. Two years later it's buying the retail arm of Statoil ASA (NYSE:STO) for $3.6 billion inclusive of debt. Unlike the Casey's deal, I think this really is a game changer. For those of you unfamiliar with this little gem north of the border, now's the time to get acquainted.
Investopedia Broker Guides: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers.
Why It's a Game Changer
The Casey's deal was hostile from the get-go; this is a friendly acquisition. Statoil's already agreed to tender its 54% interest in the gas retailer. The Financial Times believes paying a 53% premium for an asset that provides absolutely no synergy is a bad deal. Obviously the Times is unaware that Couche-Tard is a heavily decentralized operation with a very small head office. Keeping the existing management in place, Scandinavia becomes a profitable beachhead into the rest of Europe. Statoil Fuel and Retail is the number one convenience and fuel retailer in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia and Estonia with 1,867 stores in those five countries and an additional 346 stores in Poland and 73 in Latvia. The business generates significant free cash flow and is immediately accretive to earnings.
The retailer's 2011 revenues were $12.8 billion with EBITDA of $526 million. Their combined businesses generate $34.5 billion in revenues and $1.3 billion in EBITDA profits from 8,460 stores. While Couche-Tard will contribute about 60% of EBITDA, Statoil's EBITDA margin is actually 50 basis points higher than its Canadian counterpart. Tweak the margin a little bit and this deal pays for itself and then some in five or six years. When 2,300 stores land on your door step, you don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Tractor Supply (Nasdaq:TSCO) is a perfect example of what can happen when you take a substantial leap of faith. In 2002, it bought 85 locations from Quality Stores, its biggest competitor. It had never made an acquisition before, yet the move paid huge dividends, sending it on a completely different growth trajectory. Since the deal was announced in January 2002, its stock is up 2,100%. When the door to an opportunity opens, you must walk through. Couche-Tard is knocking at the door.
Its American Experience
In 2003, Couche-Tard acquired Circle K stores from ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) for $804 million. At the time, many of the same questions that have been raised about the Statoil deal were raised about Circle K. All that deal did was double the size of the company and increase its EBITDA by 140%; not to mention provide the platform on which to make further follow-on acquisitions. In nine years, Couche-Tard has integrated 3,003 stores south of the border into its system. In that time, its stock's grown about 350% compared to 50% for the S&P/TSX Composite Index. It was a completely transformational deal that was carried out with flawless execution. This new deal presents even less integration issues and the company has nine additional years of experience. When Couche-Tard closed the Circle K deal in late 2003, its adjusted net debt was 4.2 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring or rent costs (EBITDAR). It was down to 3.2 times EBITDAR 12 months later. It anticipates an adjusted net debt after closing of 3.8 times EBITDAR and 3.0 times EBITDA within 18 months. Nothing in the world of business is a slam dunk. However, past experience would suggest its projection is more than achievable, especially when you consider the state of the Scandinavian economies. It's extremely smart paying a little more for a situation that's far more stable. It will make it much easier to begin paying down debt while assessing and understanding the European market. Consider the U.S. its training wheels.
The Bottom Line
Alimentation Couche-Tard is the biggest convenience store operator in Canada, one of the biggest in the U.S. and now the biggest in Scandinavia. Statoil, by the very nature of its exploration and production business, had a difficult time buying assets from competitors like BP and Esso. Realizing this put a cap on its retail growth and wanting to focus on its upstream business, Couche-Tard provides the Norwegian government with a win/win proposition. Considering it's paying less for Statoil Fuel and Retail than Casey's current value; I believe it paid a reasonable price for a prime asset. Five years from now I think you'll agree.

THE WONDER YEARS: On DVD (Unedited) at Long, Long Last
Moises Chiullan
I've just received a press release that not only acknowledges that The Wonder Years is coming to DVD in the second half of 2014, and it's going to retain the essential original soundtrack, the licensing of which has long-prevented the DVDs from happening. There's a conditional word in there, though:
As it did for China Beach, StarVista Entertainment/Time Life ispainstakingly securing the rights for virtually every song in The Wonder Years. From Cocker's theme song, to hundreds of other memorable and classic soul, rock and pop songs, including classics from The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison and many others, StarVista /Time Life recognizes the necessity to release the series as it was initially broadcast, un-edited and untouched from original broadcast masters.
We'll see if that means anything. The indication is that the lion's share of the music rights have already been secured, such that we may not notice one or two songs here or there.
StarVista/TimeLife has done some pretty solid work on China Beach, The Carol Burnett Show, especially Get Smart, and various others. You can sign up to be notified the moment there's a release date, price, and pre-order option.
It's going to be a hell of a year for TV on DVD & Blu-ray.

Andrea Bertolini – N. 1 – Vitaphone Racing Team
"In this afternoon's Qualifying Race the good balance of the car will help a lot with tyre degradation. So yes, I look forward to this afternoon and I'm happy with the car, thanks to all the team.".
Michael Bartels – N. 1 – Vitaphone Racing Team
"It was a special result, especially for Andrea who took pole in Q3. There are no other drivers in the world who know the track like he does.
We managed to place the Maserati ahead of the pack and this means we are very well placed for this afternoon's Qualifying Race. Like at Brno, we have another chance to go for the win from pole position.
We are seeing the benefits of the tests held at Vallelunga a few weeks ago. We were quite relaxed during the sessions because they were run during a gap in the calendar.
The other MC12s didn't do as well. Bertolini proved how good the car is and so we have to work harder to do better in the race".
Enrique Bernoldi – N. 2 – Vitaphone Racing Team
"I like Paul Ricard: in 2009 I took pole and won a race. I think that the track suits the other cars more than the Maserati. As things stand, the other cars are favourites while ours are penalised by the limits placed on the air restrictor.
We have to remember that the Maserati suffers less from tyre wear than the other cars and this could make a huge difference, above all over the closing stages".

Scientific study reveals the handwriting of a liar
September 25, 2009 Examiner
A recent study published in Applied Cognitive Psychology by researchers, Gil Luria and Sara Rosenblum at the University of Haifa, with the aid of a system called ComPET (Computerized Penmanship Evaluation Tool) which is a piece of paper on a computer tablet with a pressure-sensitive wireless pen, discovered that people who are writing lies press harder on the paper and produce taller letters than those who tell the truth.

BRAINERD, Minn. (AP) — Looking at wide-eyed little Caleb Pence, you'd never guess he has suffered through so much.
The 7-year-old is the first to bring back a sticker from the doctor's office for each of his three siblings. He'll crack a joke to get a smile out of you.
But stare a little deeper into those wide eyes and you'll see the sclera has a blue tint. That's the first sign of osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease.
Caleb has broken at least 11 bones that his parents know of, though they're guessing that number is much higher, the Brainerd Dispatch reported (http://bit.ly/1h0SdZR).
He's broken his leg, arm, pelvis and foot.
The rare disease sends the young boy to the doctor more than other kids his age.
Caleb knows just how scary a hospital can be. That's why when his parents asked him what he wanted to do for his seventh birthday, celebrated this past Valentine's Day, Caleb chose to create something that would help put kids at ease once at the doctor's office.
They're called "Caleb's Imagination Kits."
To an adult, it's a Ziploc baggie full of pipe cleaners, crayons, fabric squares, glue sticks, stickers and googly eyes.
"It looks like it came out of a junk drawer," joked Caleb's dad, Chris Pence.
"That and craft closets," added his mom, Megan Pence.
But to a child, it can be anything. The makings for a castle. A space station.
Caleb made a disco dance scene with his first kit.
Caleb saw the idea on his first visit to Gillette Children's Hospital about a year ago. Uneasy about the needles and strange people around him, the trinkets in the baggie gave Caleb something fun to concentrate on.
But the baggies ran out by Caleb's next visit.
For his birthday this past weekend, Caleb and his parents asked friends, family and church members to bring in whatever craft supplies they had. Together, they formed an assembly line. Caleb's post was at the end of the line, where he snapped each bag shut and offered a cheerful "thank you" to each person.
Caleb's first broken bone came when he was 16 months old. He was climbing a slide and broke his foot.
Doctors attributed it to Caleb being a kid, being "unlucky."
But then the youngster broke his arm in several places during a soccer game. Not long after, he broke his pelvis after falling off a 1-foot wall.
Chris and Megan knew something was wrong.
"It's not like he was diving off the deck. This was just minimal activity," Chris said.
So they kept pushing, and after a few tests about a year ago, Caleb was diagnosed with type one (a lower level) brittle bone disease.
To prevent future breaks, doctors put the young boy on an infusion medication, which requires him to go to the hospital four times a year, for three days at a time, and get the medication through an IV.
He'll have to continue the treatment until he stops growing.
So far it's working — he hasn't broken a bone in the year since he started the treatment.
He's even had some hard falls, gotten up and said, "Hey, I didn't break anything," his parents say.
Caleb wants the imagination kits to offer some memories for his peers at the hospital.
"Before this," he said, gripping a kit, "I was really bored at the hospital."
Megan hopes the imagination kits will change the whole hospital experience for each family.
"Instead of dread, they might feel like it could be fun," she said. "It's something to look forward to."
It's reassuring to the parents, Chris said, as they see a calmness come over their child while they get their treatments.
"Plus you see that someone else has gone through it," he said.
Caleb will always have brittle bone disease, but even at the young age of 7, he knows he wants to use the diagnosis to help others.
The talkative boy added, "I really like helping other kids."

Ron Howard is continuing his penchant for popular book adaptations with his latest announced project, "The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair." The Swiss novel is a mega-bestseller over in Europe, where it's going toe-to-toe with "Fifty Shades of Grey" and even surpassing the latest Dan Brown novel "Inferno."
Based on the plot synopsis from Deadline, it certainly sounds to have all the trappings of bestseller fare (a wunderkind superstar, a murder mystery and, alas, the requisite dead young girl):
"The novel is about a young superstar novelist who finds himself embroiled in a sensationalized murder mystery when his mentor, an icon of American literature, is implicated in the crime of a missing 15-year-old girl who turns up dead in the author's backyard."
As pointed out by the Dissolve, Howard -- whose solid "Rush" played well to critics last year but didn't gain awards momentum -- has so far directed two Dan Brown novels ("The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons") and at one point was even attached to "Inferno," as well as adapting "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "A Beautiful Mind" over the course of his career.

text: I have migrated all the users in my company from a general, courier-imap account system to Zimbra using imapsync. In general, the migration went great! However, we have noticed some message counts are incorrect. As an example, one user's inbox is showing 1-20 of 50 and won't let her click on the back or forward arrows. Even if you sent the displayed messages to 100, it still says 1-20 of 50. This is obviously not correct. The drafts folder seems to be doing this a lot too. One person's draft folder says they have 12 unread messages in it, but when they select the drafts folder, there are no messages there. Any ideas as to what is going on here?


text: Howdy guys, I just moved to Hudson County across the river from Newark and so far I'm at a loss for what roadies do for their long rides here. I've been riding short 30 mile loops around the area but I've never gotten further than Lodi because the traffic just gets too dense even on the local highways. I've tried following some routes to take me up to North in the direction of High Point but crossing the Passaic seems to be a problem as most bridges are not very safe to cross via bicycle (fast moving traffic, often perpendicular to more fast moving traffic, and metal grated bridges which would surely catch a 23c tire if it was running the right way). I've also tried going East towards Fort Lee to get to the 9W but the roads get hairy there with all the New York bound traffic. Anybody riding in the area? What routes do you take for your 40+ mile rides? Coming from the Central/Jersey Shore area so I've been spoiled with the abundance of low traffic roads. Thanks!

text: DUP MP secures Kia Provo name change 05 Mar 2013 A DUP MP has raised concerns in the House of Commons over car-maker Kia naming a concept super-mini the 'Provo' - tabling a motion, which has since been successful, calling for the name to be changed. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell said the chosen name had "deeply offensive connotations".Members of the Provisional IRA, who engaged in bombing campaigns during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, are often referred to as 'Provos'. The Korean car-maker unveiled the car just in time for the International Geneva Motor Show, billing it as a "radical super-mini coupe which aims to set the streets alight".But the Provo name, apparently chosen at Kia's European headquarters in Germany, has raised eyebrows in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.There can be little doubt about the offensiveness of the name, not least to those who suffered directly at the hands of Provisional IRA sectarian murderers.Gregory Campbell, DUPAccording to a Kia spokesman: "There was absolutely no intention to cause offence. The name comes from 'provoke' - as in provoking a reaction."And according to Mr Campbell, Kia has since apologised and confirmed that the car would not be launched in the UK under the 'Provo' name."The swift action by Kia is to be welcomed," the DUP politician said."Obviously, a large multi-national company may not be aware of all the connotations surrounding a particular name. However, in such circumstances, it is important that they act quickly when they are made aware that the name is actually linked to a terrorist campaign."Mr Campbell added: "I accept that this was a mistake made by the company and I know that their decisive action will be welcomed by many people, in Northern Ireland and beyond, whose lives have been affected by the murderous actions of the Provisional IRA over a 30-year period."No specific production schedule has been put in place, so it could be some time before the Provo hits the roads elsewhere. © UTV Share Share Share

Stopping logswatch...done. zimbra@zimbra:~$ ps ax | grep mysql 3631 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmstat-mysql 17601 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep mysql zimbra@zimbra:~$ zmloggerctl start Starting mysqld...done. Starting logswatch...done. zimbra@zimbra:~$ zmloggerctl status logmysql.server is not running zimbra@zimbra:~$ ps ax | grep mysql 3631 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmstat-mysql 17638 pts/0 S 0:00 /bin/sh /opt/zimbra/logger/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/opt/zimbra/conf/my.logger.cnf --external-locking --log-error=/opt/zimbra/log/logger_mysql_error.log --ledir=/opt/zimbra/logger/mysql/libexec 17696 pts/0 Sl 0:00 /opt/zimbra/logger/mysql/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=/opt/zimbra/conf/my.logger.cnf --basedir=/opt/zimbra/logger/mysql --datadir=/opt/zimbra/logger/db/data --pid-file=/opt/zimbra/logger/db/mysql.pid --skip-external-locking --port=7307 --socket=/opt/zimbra/logger/db/mysql.sock --external-locking 17965 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep mysql zimbra@zimbra:~$ logmysql.server status mysql is running with pid 17696
I have gone through the logger wiki and have not found any corruption.Code:Server error encountered Message: system failure: getting database logger connection Error code: service.FAILURE Method: GetServiceStatusRequest Details:soap:Receiver
today in working on the problem found a post describing how to delete the DB and re-initialize it, which I did, but did not help:
basically (from memory):
shut down logger service as zimbra user
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/*
chown zimbra.zimbra /opt/zimbra/db/data
chmod 775 /opt/zimbra/db/data
cd /opt/zimbra/libexec/
./zmfixperms --verbose --extended
start the logger as zimbra user (which stated it was already running).
no change.
I am running on Ubuntu 8.0.4 physical PE 2650 server. I migrated from a VM server running OpenSuse 10.1 as there was no supported upgrade path to 6.x in OpenSuse.
any ideas or addition resources/places to look for what is going on?
