Transfusion medicine
Tranfusion reaction
Allergic and anaphylactic transfusion reaction
Reviewer: Huy Phu Pham, M.D. (see Reviewers page)
Revised: 31 October 2011, last major update September 2011
Copyright: (c) 2007-2011, PathologyOutlines.com, Inc.
● Allergic transfusion is most common transfusion reaction – occurs in all types of product but less common with pRBCs
● Most reactions are mild; occur in 0.03–0.61% of pRBC transfusions, 0.3–6% of platelet transfusions, 1–3% of plasma transfusion
● Anaphylactic reactions occur in 1:20,000 to 1:47,000 components transfused
● May also occur in autologous transfusions (Arch Pathol Lab Med 2003;127:316)
● Anaphylactic reactions associated with IgA deficiency or haptoglobin deficiency, especially in Asian patients; incidence 1:1000 recipients
● Much of the pathophysiology is still unknown
Type I hypersensitivity reaction
● Allegen (usually a protein in the plasma of the transfused product) binds to cell-associated IgE --> activation of mast cells --> release of mediators (cytokines, histamines, leukotrienes, Curr Opin Hematol 2003;10:419)
● Patients with congenital IgA deficiency may develop anti-IgA antibodies; exposure to IgA can lead to anaphylactic reaction
● 1:500 blood donors are IgA deficient, and 1:1200 blood donors have anti-IgA antibodies, but most are not at risk of an anaphylactic transfusion reaction (Immunohematol 2004;20:226)
Antibodies to other normal plasma proteins
● Patients with antibodies to other plasma proteins, such as haptoglobin, C3/C4, alpha-1-antitrypsin) can also have anaphylactic transfusion reactions
Components within blood products
● Transfusion of the allergen which the patient has an antibody against or the antibody which the patient has an allergen for can lead to anaphylactic transfusion reactions
Clinical features
● The shorter the onset of symptoms from transfusion, the more severe the reaction (in general)
● Anaphylactic reactions tend to happen within seconds to 45 minutes after the start of the transfusion
● Other allergic reactions can occur up to 2–3 hours after completion of the transfusion
Mild allergic reaction:
● No fever
● Pruritis, uticaria, erythema, cutaneous flushing, angioedema, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain
● 10% have only pulmonary symptoms
Anaphylactic reaction:
● Symptoms of allergic reactions plus hypotension, tachycardia, chest pain, loss of consciousness, arrhythmia, shock, cardiac arrest, wheezing
● No fever
● Patient can have upper and lower airway obstruction --> hoarseness, stridor, dypsnea
● Mostly a clinical diagnosis
● In patients with severe allergic or anaphylactic transfusion reaction, test for IgA deficiency and anti-IgA antibody; test for haptoglobin deficiency and antibody in Asian patients
Mild allergic reaction:
● Temporarily stop the transfusion
● Maintain IV access
● Give diphenhydramine 20–50 mg PO or IV (depending on the severity)
● If the symptoms resolve, restart the transfusion slowly
● If the symptoms do NOT resolve, stop the transfusion
● Always report the reaction to the transfusion medicine service even when the transfusion continues
Severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction
● Stop the transfusion
● Maintain IV access with normal saline
● Administer oxygen
● Intubation may be needed
● Epinephrine is most effective medication for treatment of anaphylaxis
● Steroid and H1-receptor antagonists have been used
● Observe the patient closely
● Report the reaction to the transfusion medicine service
In patients without prior history of allergic reaction:
● Routine use of premedication with diphenhydramine or steroids does not decrease the incidence of allergic reactions (Transfus Med Rev 2007;21:1, Br J Haematol 2005;130:781)
In patients with prior history of allergic reaction:
● Predmedication with diphenhydramine or steroids may be helpful, depending on the severity of the previous reaction
● Allergic reactions tend to be more severe with repeated plasma/platelet transfusions
● In patients with severe reaction, use of washed or plasma-reduced pRBCs or platelets might be considered
-Transfuse slowly
-Observe patient closely
-Appropriate medications and equipment should be available
In patients with IgA deficiency:
● It is NOT necessary to restrict patients with IgA deficiency or anti-IgA antibodies to washed or IgA-deficient products, WITHOUT a trial of unmodified products
● Transfuse slowly
● Observe closely for severe reaction
● Appropriate medications and equipment should be available to treat if severe reaction occurs
In patients with IgA deficiency AND history of anaphylactic reaction:
● May need to receive IgA-deficient products (from IgA deficient donors) or washed products
● Resuspending platelets in a nonprotein storage solution instead of fresh frozen plasma may be helpful (Transfusion 2002;42:556)
● Autologous donation can be considered
Case reports
● 4 year old girl receiving blood from mother (Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2002;46:1276)

TROY -- There's that old adage, the best offense is a good defense.
The Troy High football team really, really believes in that.
In fact, both of the Flying Horses' two touchdown drives were set up by defensive takes aways, as Troy topped Burnt Hills 17-7 in Friday night's season opener.
"We had to play good defense in this game because we knew we weren't going to put up a ton of points," said Troy coach Jack Burger.
"Back in February we sat down with a little scheme we put together, called it Spartan and we worked it throughout the off-season. It played pretty well for us."
Back in February we sat down with a little scheme we put together, called it Spartan and we worked it throughout the off-season. It played pretty well for us."
The Troy defense kept the Flying Horses in the game early on as the relatively young offense attempted to find their early-season footing.
First-year starting quarterback Pat Chamberlain looked nervous from the get-go working with a rookie offensive line and throwing just two passes in the entire first half; both of them incompletes.
"A lot of guys are playing their first varsity game here," Burger said. "Offensively we sputtered, but we're going to get better."
While the Spartans offense, looked good on paper in the first half, racking up 156 total yards, they couldn't seem to find a rhythm, plagued by seven penalties that stalled any attempt at a drive.
"It's always disappointing," said Burnt Hills coach Matt Shell. "A lot of the ball game is field position and we had it. But their defense rose to the occasion."
Neither team was able to do much in terms of finding the endzone in the first half, but something shifted for the Flying Horses as soon as the second half whistle blew.
Burnt Hills running back Josh Quesada fumbled the half's opening play, giving Troy quick confidence boost that they would hold onto for the rest of the game.
"That's huge," Troy linebacker Nick Valenti said. "That gives us a big momentum swing."
The Flying Horses took the opportunity and ran, literally, bringing in junior running back Maurice Jones, who had spent the majority of the first half on the sidelines.
Five plays later Jones found the endzone on a 21 yard run, breaking the stalemate and sparking the Troy offense.
"At first I thought I was going to get tackled, because we had rant that play before and it didn't work the first time," Jones, who finished with 47 yards, said of the play. "I was just happy that I scored."
Troy wasn't done there though, as Valenti picked off Burnt Hills quarterback Ryan McDonnell later in the third quarter. The pick would eventually set up a 20-yard touchdown pass from Chamberlain to first-year football player Jordan Nelson.
"That kid had never played football before," Burger said of the senior wideout. "He had a great catch; he's a football player now."
The Flying Horses defense held Burnt Hills to just 65 total yards in the second half, allowing one touchdown on a 17-yard Chamberlain pass to Josh Quesada late in the fourth quarter.
For the Spartans though, it was simply too little too late.
"We thought we were doing some things and we had some things we could do," Shell said. "The turnovers really hurt."
It may only be the first game of the season, but the defensive stand, and offensive advances, Friday night's victory was a bit of vengeance for Troy after three straight losses to Burnt Hills.
It's enough to give the Flying Horses the confidence they need as they chase after that seemingly elusive Section II championship.
As long as their defense can stand up.
"It's great to come out here and kind of prove all our critics wrong," Valenti said. "People say our defense might not be as good as it has been the last two years and it's going to be a good one this year."

The North Slope coastal plain represents a unique landscape that is characterized by permafrost and an immense number of freshwater lakes of varying sizes and depths. These lakes provide habitat for fish and wildlife species, support subsistence resources for use by local populations, and serve as freshwater supply for industrial development. The ability of resource managers to effectively balance these uses depends on our understanding of the capacity of these lakes to serve as water storage and as well as our understanding of their function as habitat.
The primary result of this project is a GIS vector dataset (shapefile) that identifies areas of winter liquid water availability within lakes throughout the North Slope coastal plain. This data set represents a one-time "snapshot" of winter liquid water availability as determined through the analysis of 36 SAR images that were acquired during April 2009. In addition the project final report and technical background documents are provided.
Work under this project was funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) with support from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, North Slope Science Initative (NSSI) and Michigan Technical Research Institute (MTRI).
Publication: Grunblatt, J., Atwood, D., Mapping lakes for winter liquid water availability using SAR on the North
Slope of Alaska. Int. J. Appl. Earth Observ. Geoinf.(2013), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2013.05.006
Final products for this project that can be downloaded from the North Slope Science Catalog include:
Final Report: This report provides a review of literature and documents the materials, methods and results of this project.
Technical Report: These reports provide a time series investigation of North Slope lakes within a small pilot study area to illustrate the observed changes in ERS-2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) response and lake condition over time. An investigation of PALSAR radar dynamics for two example lakes is also provided. A review of the mechanisms of radar backscatter and modeling is also compiled in another report.
GIS Shapefiles :Two shapefiles and documentation are included in this data release. One shapefile (NSLakes.shp) provides perimeters for all lakes that were considered in this analysis. Lake perimeters were taken from the USGS National Hydrology Dataset (NHD). Another shapefile (NSLake_unf.shp) provides the areas within those lakes that were classified as containing liquid water below ice.

California Institute of the Arts officials are reopening the institute Wednesday morning following four days of scrubbing and sanitizing in a bid to rid the campus of a bug that sickened at least 16 people.
In an online announcement posted on the school's website late Tuesday afternoon, school officials said: "After an unexpected pause in classes and on-campus business, CalArts Administration is pleased to announce that the Institute reopens tomorrow Wednesday at 6 a.m. with classes, rehearsals and extra-curricular activities resuming their normal schedules."
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has now confirmed that last week's gastroenteritis outbreak was caused by the norovirus, according to the posting.
The Custodial staff and Facilities team have been extremely thorough with their cleaning efforts in the Main Building and outlying buildings and areas. The disinfecting process was to have been completed by Tuesday, according to the online notice.
The campus was closed at the end of day Friday after the illness erupted Wednesday, affecting at least 16 students with violent reactions.

AbstractA detailed survey of a 30 km2 area of abyssal-depth sediment waves associated with the levee of the Monterey fan valley shows a pattern of sinuous crests and troughs with parallel, well-bedded internal structure. Material in the upper 1 m of sediment consists predominantly of bioturbated, muddy coccolith ooze. A single thin, silty horizon can be correlated between adjoining waves. The sediment waves are considered to be formed most likely by low-velocity (10 cm/s), low-concentration turbidity flows approximately 100-800 m thick. This interpretation emphasizes the role of low-speed, low-concentration turbidity currents in the downslope movement of fine-grained material.- from Authors

If the Los Angeles Clippers had won either of their two final games this season against the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks, they would be staying at home for a solid week and hosting the Memphis Grizzlies to start the two teams' first-round series.
But they didn't, and so now the Clippers have to travel to Memphis on Saturday afternoon and open up the series there on Sunday night.
They say they realize their mistake.
"We shot ourselves in the foot," said reserve forward Kenyon Martin, who leads the Clippers with 87 career playoff starts. "We know that."
Martin, asked about losing home court, recounted the last two road losses and all of the near-wins the Clippers had during the regular season, like losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves three times and falling on the road at New Jersey and Cleveland.
"Win any one of those games and we'd get home court," Martin said on Friday, speaking after the Clippers' first of two practices in preparation for the Grizzlies. "Games early in the season come back to bite you late in the season."
By contrast, Clippers guard Chris Paul, who sat out of Friday's practice, dismissed the thought of not having home court. He said it was no longer relevant as the five-seed Clippers try to pull off a minor upset against the Grizzlies.
"We can't worry about that no more," Paul said. "Who cares? You're worrying about what's in the past.
"All we're gonna do now is worry about what's going in Memphis for the first two games."
The Clippers open up the playoffs against Memphis on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. PT and then play Game 2 in Memphis on Wednesday before returning home Saturday night for Game 3.

Belfast Giants coach Paul Adey will consider giving netminder Stephen Murphy some time off this weekend ahead of the Challenge Cup final and end of season Play-offs.
Arguably the Scottish goalie has been the Most Valuable Player for the Elite League champions this season making clutch saves at big moments in key games.
Wednesday night's 4-1 win over the Nottingham Panthers was Murphy's 44th of the season but when the two sides meet again next Friday night in the first leg of the Challenge Cup Final at the Odyssey Arena it promises to be a more intense occasion than it was in midweek as both sides went through the paces of a league game that meant little to either.
The Giants travel to play the Fife Flyers on Saturday night followed by a home game against the Braehead Clan on Sunday afternoon and local netminder Andrew Dickson may get the call-up to start.
"We're going to take a look at these two games this weekend and maybe give Stephen Murphy some time off.
"He's played every game this season and has been superb for us making big stops at key moments in the big games but maybe we'll give him a rest and make sure he's ready for the final few weeks of the season," explained Adey.
"It wasn't the best of games on Wednesday and there was a lack of intensity and Nottingham's goal is to have a good cup final against us and that's the way they approached the game.
"They didn't want to pick up injuries but we got the win a home and it was good to get that Sheffield defeat out of our system quickly."
One of the players who has played a major role in the Giants success so far has been Chris Higgins. Nicknamed the 'Belfast Datsyuk' after Detroit Red Wings legend Pavel Datsyuk, his skill levels are amongst the highest ever seen in the Elite League and he's been potent on a line with Evan Cheverie and Kevin Saurette and he grabbed a goal and two assists against the Panthers on Wednesday.
Adey added, "He so tricky with the puck and his movement on the ice is pretty good and he's so difficult to track down and he knows where to put the puck in the offensive zone."

So my cable provider just switched to encrypted digital and I'm being forced to pay for set top boxes. I don't like the idea of being ransomed to utilize a service I'm already paying for and I REFUSE to pay $25 a month for the "privilege" of renting a single dvr. So Im trying to figure out how to turn my computer into a whole home dvr using a cablecard adapter.
Here's what I have so far. I can either use an HDHomerunPrime which has 3 tuners and is onsale for $130, or I can get a Ceton InfiniTv4 which has 4 tuners for $200. I can hook either up to my computer and use Windows Media Center or XBMC to watch and schedule recordings.
Then comes the tricky part. How to get the tv and recordings off my computer and onto the TV's. None of my tv's are smart tv's and none are HD. I have 2 ideas:
First is using Chromecast ($35) the HDMI dongle that uses your wireless network to stream content to your tv.
Issues with that: How do I use a remote to change channels? I know I can use my phone to send things to Chromecast, but is there
a way I can use my phone as a remote for WMC or XBMC? and second: Chromecast is an HDMI dongle, is there an adapter thats female HDMI to male coax or to RCA?
Second option is using the PIVOS XIOS DS ($100) which natively supports XBMC and can access the network either wired or with an adapter ($13), and has an available remote ($25)
Issue being its going to be pretty expensive to hook each tv up to the system.
So is there a better way of going about this? I think my understanding of how to get my computer to function as a DVR is fairly sound. My major issue is weather there is a better way to get the tv and recordings to my tv's. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
did I post this in the wrong section or something? does anybody have any input?

Small Mistakes That Keep You Poor; My Interview With Neil Patel
Here are a few excerpts from the Accelerator Program.
If you don't know who Neil Patel is, you're missing out.
He's a content marketing genius who has built several successful businesses like KISSmetrics, Quick Sprout, Crazyegg, and Hello Bar.
A few key takeaways from the interview:
1. Most people do not know how to execute.
The goal is not to go from A to Z as fast as you can. You want to get to A to B as fast as your can, collect feedback, and then move forward to C and D.
2. Always focus on what you love to do.

A 200 dollar saving bond and bragging rights are the stakes in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," Hoof 'n' Horn's latest musical production. The show follows the competition of the spelling bee, as well as details on each of the spellers' lives. The show begins Jan. 23 and runs through Feb. 2 in the Sheafer Lab Theater in the Bryan Center.
"What makes this show special is the opportunity for improvisation and ad lib," Andrew Jacobs, sophomore director of this winter's production, said. "Taylor [Walls] and Austin [Ruiz], who play our two adult characters, get to come up with fun facts for each speller that are ripe with little jokes and Duke references that should make the audience laugh."
It is Jacobs's first time directing, but he has been a part of four Hoof 'n' Horn productions previously. Hoof 'n' Horn typically organizes three musical productions each year—for fall, winter and spring—and this year, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" is sandwiched between "The Drowsy Chaperone" and "Parade." The show was chosen for its endearing message and smaller cast, which includes Putnam County's top realtor, a vice principal with a knack for odd sentences, a comfort counselor on parole and six quirky kids from various backgrounds.
"Working on Putnam has honestly been one of my favorite theater experiences since I started performing six years ago," Taylor Walls, junior and actress for Rona in the show, said. "With only nine of us in the cast, we all became fast friends, making for a fun-filled and collaborative rehearsal process."
The six spellers include Olive Ostrovsky (Corinne Wallace), a sweet girl whose mother is pulling an "Eat, Pray, Love" in India; William Barfee (Max Duncan), a nerdy boy with a magic foot; Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre (Sophia Santore), a smart girl with overbearing gay fathers; Marcy Park (Katie Beachem), a ceaseless winner from the all-girls school, Our Lady of Intermittent Sorrows; Leaf Coneybear (James Hamilton), a quirky child of hippies who makes his own clothes; and Chip Tolentino (Kirby Wilson), a boy scout who has just begun to hit puberty.
For the spelling bee, the stage is decorated like a standard gymnasium, complete with the familiar bleachers, a basketball hoop and a "Putnam Valley Lady Piranhas Synchronized Swimming" championship poster.
One of the unique components of the show is that audience members are invited up on stage to compete alongside the characters in the spelling bee. The audience members also have to spell words, ranging from "Mexican" to "gremial." The spellers in the cast experience similar pressure. One speller's fate hangs on their ability to spell "chinchilla," while another speller suffers from an unfortunate display of sexual arousal on stage in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." The show earns its laughs, but with noted observations of each character, the show also manages to be touching and even poignant at times.
"The show might seem childish on the surface, but its meaning and lessons are relevant for the Duke community," said Jacobs. "We can't always be the best at everything and winning should not always be the end goal. It can be a nice reminder in case we lose sight of this during the semester."
"I hope that Duke audiences will leave this show with a tummy ache from laughing too much," said Walls, "And the acceptance that winning isn't always what's most important."
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" opens Jan. 23 and runs through Feb. 2 in the Sheafer Lab Theater in the Bryan Center. Tickets are $10 for the general public and $8 for students, available online or at the box office. For more information, visit the Hoof 'n' Horn website.

Hi Wblibrary:
My oncologist had started me on Arimadex and after 3 pills it upset my stomach and caused nausea. I stopped it myself and so didn't he. I did research on D.I.M. and found so much information on it that I'm convinced this is the answer for the cancer to not come back. D.I.M. metabolizes estrogen, the good and the bad estrogen. This is something I never knew about and I bet most women don't. It's an extract of cruifierous veggies, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, brussel sprouts, cauliflower. I have purchased, also, a juicer and am juicing those veggies along with a couple fruits. I'd like to not take that awful Aremadex. I had a conference with my oncologist and showed him the research on D.I.M. He briefly looked it over, but, is going to do some research on his own. He never hard of it. Of course. I see him May 19th. I have information from a Dr. Michael Zeligs and he's done much research and trials. He has his patented supplement called Bio-Response.
I know your response in this discussion is from 2009. Hmmm... I'd like to hear from you to see what you had decided on and how you are doing.
My email is email@example.com

Hello, all. Well, that's enough Anastrozole for me, thank you! Nine months. First six a piece of cake; now every side effect from joint pain & muscle cramps to flashes & sweats to fatigue & depression. I feel absolutely not human and have no desire for anything, including life. That many messages from my body can't be wrong!
I was unfamiliar with DIM before finding posts about it here today. Will definitely read up and discuss with my oncologist next month. In the mean time, very mindful nutrition, supplements & exercise.

I've been on Arimidex for more than a year and the side effects have been pretty much disabling. I am ready to try something else that will stop estrogen production, preferrably something natural. I have never heard of DIM but am willing to research this. I would be comfortable not taking Arimidex as long as I know that the alternative is doing the same job. Any other information out there?

You click SEARCH. Type in DIM. Then open the drop down menu for the complementary forum.
Hundreds of women here are taking DIM. A lot of the well-informed people on Natural Girls left about six months ago.
Just about every naturopath has info on DIM. There is a good one given out by an integrative MD -- the name starts with "brocco." Sorry I can't remember the actual name.
Gloria, it would be one thing if Arimidex had as much survival value as something like surgery. But Arimidex's value is still very shaky. There are three ongoing studies. One study says people live less long on Arimidex, one says people live a little longer, then there is one that is a mess because they kept changing the regimens. There is a video of Dr. Winer from Dana Farber mentioning this.
Aug 10, 2011 06:25PM Joy_ wrote:
Molly, I thought that study compared Arimidex to Tamoxifen so the benefit was roughly equal to Tamox. In fact if my memory is right someone from our forum even phoned Dr. Winer to confirm that. The wording "less long" is therefore taken out of context and they should have been more precise in their conclusion.
Aug 10, 2011 10:32PM mollyann wrote:
Somebody emailed Eric Winer but he never provided any documentation. The research is just a mess. If you can locate the three studies, have a look.
Somebody very kindly PMed me one of the slide shows but it's so hard to get a handle on overlapping one medicine with another. Arimidex seems more complicated than any other drug study set up because they keep changing the context.
Arimidex was so promising in the beginning. I think Winer's position is they have to do something and that's all they have. I sure hope it has some benefit after all the suffering people go thru. The worst is the guilt they feel from stopping Arimidex. I don't know remember what percentage stop, do you?

I can't get the link to work but it's the OP for the thread "Is there a survival benefit to Aromatase inhibitors? on the Hormonal Therapy forum, dated April 16th 2011.
I can't tell you any more, but searching for Dr Winer may get you the answer.

Just to let you know (be it a little late). I stopped all AIs about 2 years ago. I couldn't take the side effects. I did this against my Oncologist's approval. I will hit the 5 year mark on October 6th of this year, but so far so good. I still have a little phantom pain at the site and under the arm, but nothing else to really speak of. So as far as alternative medicine goes, I'm taking some calcium and glucosamine, along with a Multi-Vitamin everyday. That's it. I do stay away from the soy products, but I'm not a fanatic about it. Fingers crossed I continue to my 5 year mark without any reoccurence. I wish you all well.

TAMPA — This time, no one asked about dynasties. This time, no one asked about rings.
This time, no one asked about the new thumper from free agency who was brought in to boost a lineup already jammed with Hall of Famers.
Sometimes, it is easier to judge the truth of a franchise by the weight of the questions rather than by the tone of the answers. So it is with the New York Yankees, and so it was when manager Joe Girardi sat in front of a room Monday and answered questions that are usually saved for a mortal baseball team.
Who is going to be the fifth starter, and for that matter, the fourth? Is the captain still good enough to bat leadoff? Why, exactly, do you still believe in A.J. Burnett?
Oh, and then there was this one:
In the American League East, do you consider the Yankees to be underdogs?
In most seasons, on those days when pitchers and catchers show up for work, those are the questions reserved for, say, the manager of the Orioles. Maybe the Blue Jays.
For the Yankees, such days are reserved for the annual parading of the new stars. Over the years, no one has had more advantages than the Yankees, and no one has taken quite as much pride in showing them off on the day the balls were uncrated.
This is a curious time in the history of the Yankees, however. They are at the end of a bizarre, unfulfilling offseason. There have been headlines about the kind of hardball played by the Yankees in the Derek Jeter negotiations, and whether Alex Rodriguez was ticked that TV cameras showed Cameron Diaz feeding him popcorn, about Andy Pettitte retiring, about general manager Brian Cashman getting overruled in the Rafael Soriano signing, about Cashman daring to mention "Jeter" and "centerfield" in the same sentence, about Cashman acknowledging the Red Sox were better "on paper." With the Yankees, there are always headlines.
This time, however, there were no headlines about the new stars added to the constellation. The Yankees had 113 days of offseason, and in none of them did they sign Cliff Lee or Carl Crawford or trade for Zack Greinke. Or, for that matter, any player who might provide a reasonable way to believe the Yankees might overcome the Boston Red Sox in the AL East this season.
Still, the Yankees?
"I don't know if you're ever a New York Yankee — ever since I've been here — that you ever feel you're the underdog," Girardi said. "It just sounds kind of funny to hear someone say that."
Maybe, but how else could you handicap it when the Yankees' rotation is such a riddle? CC Sabathia is a star, especially now that he has lost 25 pounds on the "throw away the Cap'n Crunch diet," and Phil Hughes was very good last year. But after that, you have Burnett and a bunch of guys ready for their auditions. All we know for sure about the Yankees' starters is that everyone except Joba Chamberlain seems to be a candidate.
In a pitcher's game, in a pitcher's division, that's a sobering thought. Despite all the All-Star Games packed into the Yankees' batting order, it's hard to win the AL East by clubbing the other teams into submission.
That's why the failure to sign Lee still stings a lot of Yankee fans. With him, the rotation was better, and the possibilities were greater. Besides, Lee was exactly the kind of player the Yankees have signed over the years.
Only problem: Lee chose the Phillies.
Girardi, for the record, says his expectations have not changed.
"We wouldn't come to spring training if we didn't expect to win the division," Girardi said. "I'd have a hard time with our ballclub if it didn't expect to win the division. That's the mind-set everyone needs to have."
Still, there is a lot of uncertainty to the Yankees, and much of it seems to surround Jeter and his spot in the order. Girardi says Jeter was re-signed to bat leadoff and play shortstop, but that doesn't stop the questions. In a way, the questions about Jeter seem to reflect the questions about the franchise as a whole.
"He had a couple of rough months last year, but in September, he was back to being Derek, I thought," Girardi said. "I'm not too concerned about him as our leadoff hitter, but as we all know in this game, you have to prove yourself year in and year out no matter who you are. That's just the nature of the game."
So, too, are question marks. And it is fair to say the Yankees enter the season with the look of a wild card to them. Ask yourself this: Where are the Yankees better than last year's second-place team? Soriano in the eighth? Russell Martin behind the plate? Where else?
Does that give the reassembled Rays hope? Perhaps, if their bullpen holds up.
"They lost some pieces," Girardi said of the Rays. "Some in the bullpen, some everyday players, a starter. But they are still a young, energetic ballclub. They have a solid rotation. They're still a very, very tough team, and they're going to create problems for all of us."
As for the Yankees, the question remains: What kind of problems are they going to give other teams? They can still hit. They have a fine bullpen. They have the money to add reinforcements along the way.
Odds are, they'll be good.
Odds are, they won't be good enough.

U.S. women's national team stars Sydney Leroux and Alex Morgan took some time off from preparing for the World Cup to see 50 Shades of Grey.
They left the theater feeling a little confused and conveyed those emotions perfectly in a tweet.

Raleigh, N.C. — A national domestic violence expert says a proposal to require a two-year waiting period for a divorce in North Carolina would put women in even more danger of abuse.
Kim Gandy leads the National Network to End Domestic Violence. She spoke at a news conference for the left-leaning group NC Women United, which held its biannual advocacy day Tuesday.
Gandy singled out Senate Bill 518, the "Healthy Marriages Act," filed by Sen. Austin Allran, R-Catawba.
The bill would require a two-year waiting period for a divorce, with required counseling on conflict resolution and communication skills. Additional counseling would be required if there are children involved in the relationship.
The proposal makes no exception for cases of domestic violence or abuse.
"We already know that the most dangerous time for a battered woman is after she takes steps to leave the relationship. That's when she's most likely to be injured or killed," Gandy said.
"To say we're going to expand that time, we're going to force you to remain in a legal relationship before you can get a divorce for two years, without any exception, even for cases of violence, it shocks the conscience," she said. "It shocks my conscience, and I trust it shocks your conscience and that you will let your legislators know how you feel."
Wake lawmaker says women deserve pay equal to men
About 100 women turned out for the group's advocacy day. Their agenda also opposes voting restrictions, supports reproductive rights and weighs in on a variety of economic issues that disproportionately affect women, like the Earned Income Tax Credit.
NC Women United President Jina Dhillon described the group as "angry and determined."
"Already, the developments of the 2013 legislative session indicate that many lawmakers have no problem reversing decades of progress," Dhillon said at the news conference.
Rep, Deborah Ross, D-Wake, touted her House Bill 603, which was filed Tuesday. The "Equal Pay Act" would prohibit employers from paying female employees less than male employees for the same work.
Ross said the legislation is modeled on Arizona's equal pay act – "not your world's most liberal state," she joked – and added that Tennessee and Virginia have even more protections in their laws than Arizona.
More than 40 states have equal pay provisions in their statutes, she said.

ISTANBUL (Dec. 6)
The existence of a Jewish community in the town of Van, in easternmost Turkey, since before the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was revealed here this week in a report appearing in the Jewish newspaper, Turkiyenin Sesi.
Numbering 25 families and approximately 250 persons, the small group of Jews has been out of touch with the rest of the Jewish community in this country for many centuries. These Jews speak Aramaic, use Hebrew letters in their correspondence and observe all traditional Jewish practices.
The town has a synagogue which beasts a valuable library of ancient books, manuscripts and scrolls. Although no Jew from Van has as yet immigrated to Israel, national feeling is reported to be strong in the community.

Choosing a great baby name is a little bit like putting together a puzzle.
This week's baby names in the news – and my, it was a busy week – all share a certain pattern.
Start with a recognizable, but not too popular, two-syllable name.
Add a middle, or even two. Don't fret about rhythm and flow, especially if you're honoring a loved one or extolling a virtue.
Now calibrate. If the first name is common, make sure the middle name is a real surprise.

IPTV Subscriptions Hit 100 Million9 Jul, 2014 By: Doug McPherson
LONDON – Internet-protocol TV (IPTV) subscriptions total 100 million TV subscribers as of first-quarter 2014, according to U.K. broadband researcher Point Topic.
Gains were highest in East Asia with 2.6 million subscribers added, for a 5.7-percent growth rate. Eastern Europe posted the biggest growth on a percentage basis – 11.6 percent, or 630,000 subscribers.
China continues to be the biggest individual country for IPTV, at 32.7 million subscribers. France follows at 14.8 million, the U.S. with 12.3 million, South Korea at 9.1 million, Japan with 4.5 million, Russia at 3.6 million, and Germany with 2.7 million.
Research also shows that IPTV is growing at about the same rate as all worldwide pay TV services – with total subscribers rising 5 percent in 2013 over the year before.
ABI Research reported in April there were 901.1 million total pay TV subscribers – representing almost $250 billion in pay TV revenue. By 2019, the total number of pay TV subscribers will hit 1.1 billion.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. A teaching hospital is a great idea, but I would switch to a gastroenterologist for your reflux. Any teaching hospital in any state would be fine. There you will find the latest in treatment, including an interdisciplinary approach. In addition to Nexium, you can also try another over-the-counter medication called Gaviscon that contains alginatec which coats the esophagus and really helps with the pain from acid reflux.
Yes, a gastroenterologist treats all of the digestive system from one end to the other. He or she would be the real expert in reflux. In New York, I would go to Mount Sinai or New York Presbyterian. We don't recommend specific doctors, but you will find a number of them at both medical centers.

Go to Hell
The word Hell conjures images of insufferable pain and misery unless, of course, its referring to the setting of Makeover, a new stage production by North Palm Beach playwright Mark Poncy.
Touted as a contemporary fairy tale, Makeover is a darkly comedic musical thats peppered with elements of camp and a touch of 50s sensibility. Set in friendly Hell, the play stars an endearing Devil who recently discovered himself in a bit of hot water. It seems this loveable Beelzebub has misplaced a soul now the Infernal Revenue Service is demanding repayment. Ah, but human vanity may come to his rescue!

Hey guys!
So, I want to start running. I already looked up some beginner plans and decided to start off with 1 minute of running, two minutes walking, repeat 7x. I have a good pair of shoes, not an issue
Now, I'm not going to lie. I'm a big girl. A *big* girl. The most cardio I ever do is Just Dance and being walked by my dog. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips in that regard.
Anyhow, I suppose my biggest question is calories. I've been on a 1,200 calorie diet recently (whole foods. No processed. Works *very* well for me) and I'm wondering if that's enough for my beginning running. I'm pretty sure it is, since I won't be doing a long run or anything for quite some time, or even a 20 minute run. Anyhow, I really hope to work up to a 20 minute run in the mornings (or at all!) and a 20-30 minute run during my lunch break (45 minutes). My absolute tippy toppiest goal is to be able to take my dog on a nice long run, as she has boundless energy. When I reach that goal, however far away it may be, I doubt that 1,200 calories is enough. What amount would you recommend?
Does elliptical training help running in any way, shape, or form?

for once try and NOT judge and try and understand why.. ETA*** 03/01/13!!!!!!! response!

When i was 15 i met my now ex DH, we dated for 3 years then we got married, after a year of being married we divorced, only to reunite 9 months after that divorce, we got engaged again and prepared to get remarry, But this time we agreed to take our time and fix our issues and save up for a big wedding (not another court wedding like the first time). so here we are 5 years later with one child who is 9 months. We have ended our relationship, realizied that we may have just grew apart.. we dont get along anymore.. and our relationship is unstable and unhealthy.
when i was 16 i met another boy his name (fake name) was rico. he was complete opposite from my exdh, he was peurto rican, with a funny personality bubbly, loved to make me laugh type.. whenever dh and i would go through our childish problems and break up for two three days i would call rico. (we never would have sex) he would tell me to come over, wed go to parties, play video games, or hed take me to his family's houses and we would have drinks play cards etc...(im not talking about underage drinking rememeber this is from 16 onward my entire relationship) a part of me fell in love with rico, for over 3years we did this secret meet up and he didnt ask me for anything in return.. hed listen to my sob stories give me advice, maybe a kiss on the cheek etc... well one of these years we had sex.. it was great. about 4 more years go by still sme thing between us id only call him when dh and i were fighting and broken up out of 7 years we had sex only 3 times. when i got pregnant however with dh. rico and i went out of contact for almost a year..
now im single and i miss him.. i think about him everyday, i dont have his number only his facebook. i never told rico i loved him i never told him that if he wouldve said to me (sarah fakename) leave your dh and be with me i would have in a heart beat, i never seen or heard of him being in a relationship so i never made that point to him either.. he was one of those "relationships" where the two of you knew how you feel about eachother without saying it type of thing.
now i heard he has dd only about a month old.. we got into contact 1 time on face book, he said the woman he had her with is someone he too is on and off with (more on than off) i congradualted him etc we had a very grown up and innocent conversation. so my issue is this i feel incomplete i feel like i never told him what he really meant to me. everyday i look at his page and i tear up thinking about the one who got away.
would you tell him or just leave it be?
for the ones who said yes i should tell him.. can you help me write up something to say? i will send it to his face book, and update on what he says....
this is what i wrote
seriously? how did you tell him? was you afraid of the rejection part? how long did you know him etc.. congrats to you!
Quoting Anonymous:
I have a similar situation right now. I told the guy how I felt. He loves me too. He has decided that he loves me enough to want to try again with me. For real this time. And to think I was almost too afraid to say anything...
but how do i tell him? do i facebook write him? we dont have eachothers phone number anymore? is it wrong to tell him even if he has a 1 month old now?
Quoting nicolemead91:
Tell him!!! Please I regret that I didn't do the same exact thing 4 years ago !!! Now here I am with DH wondering about the one who got away!
Half way through it I was starting to think he was gay... I guess tell him. You'll never know until you try right?
lmao! you know what i thought that too not by the way he acted but because he never told me about any girls, when i heard about the on/off one now i was like dam! so i couldve made the move
Quoting HaleyCovington:
Half way through it I was starting to think he was gay... I guess tell him. You'll never know until you try right?

Cockatiels often live to be 25 years old. Amazon parrots can live to be 80 years or older. I know of one blue-and-gold macaw that lived over the age of 100. Such a long life requires preparation when young.
Adopting a young parrot is delightful fun. The day he comes home is full of promise. But a young parrot has an empty suitcase for this journey. You must help him pack that suitcase with all the living skills he will need for a long, happy life.
It? important to enjoy every minute with him ,and it? even more important to step into the role of teacher and offer the gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement that will help him learn to keep busy and happy, and prevent future behavior problems.
Use Positive Reinforcement With Your Parrots
Packing a young parrot? suitcase with good behaviors is easy. Your pet bird has a natural desire to learn and a strong drive to explore his environment. Provide the raw materials that will stimulate his curiosity and then use plenty of positive reinforcement to guide him as he learns. He will take care of the rest!
He will behave in many different ways as he explores and learns about his environment. Sometimes he will be loud. Sometimes he will be quiet, as he attempts to solve a puzzle toy. He might be shy and dependent, wanting to be on your shoulder. At times, he will be more independent, playing with something in his cage.
Always, he will look for feedback. He wants to learn how he can best get your attention and any other rewards you might have to share. He needs consistent guidance.
Lots of positive reinforcement, offered for desirable behavior, produces the best results. By teaching your parrot what you want him to do, you prevent him from learning the things you would rather he not do. If you want to see a behavior increase, you must provide some type of immediate reward ?positive reinforcement that tells him "Yes! That was good. Do that more often.?lt;/span>
Discover Your Parrot's Favorite Things
What should you use to reward (reinforce) good behavior? Observe his choices. Does he love nuts? Does he love best having his head scratched? Does he always play with a particular foot toy? Discover what is most important to him and then use that to reward his desirable behavior. Realize also that what he loves now may change as he grows older.
Next, make a list of behaviors that he will need to be a happy, healthy adult parrot. Think of these as living skills. The more living skills a parrot has, the happier he will be and the more fun you will have with him.
The whole family can sit down and decide what to put on your pet bird? training list for the first year. Do you want your pet bird to learn to climb a ladder? Do you want it to fly to your hand, if his wing feathers aren? trimmed? Anything is possible. Remember, it is a smart and resourceful young parrot.
Living Skills To Teach Your Parrot
Teach your parrot to:
- Eat healthy foods.
- Enjoy a regular shower/bath.
- Keep busy with foraging opportunities, puzzles and destroy toys.
- Step up when asked.
- Go easily back into his bird cage.
- Stay put on his play gym.
- Go to all members of the family.
- Go into a carrier.
- Ride happily in the car.
- Allow restraint in a towel.
Build A Stimulating Environment For Your Parrot
Once your list is made, create an environment that fosters learning. He needs to be able to make lots of choices in a stimulating environment full of enrichment.
Provide the largest bird cage you can. The larger the bird cage, the more choices he can have, in terms of perches and toys. He also needs plenty of alternate perches, located throughout the house. Try placing a perch in every room, so that he can be with you as you move about. Perches that hang from the ceiling, desktop perches and free-standing playgyms are all good choices. The more variety you provide, the more variety he will learn to enjoy.
Offer a varied and healthful diet. Create a landscape of healthy choices for him. If he came home to you eating a seed-only diet, teach him to also eat a good-quality pelleted diet and a variety of fresh foods. Getting him on a good diet now ensures good health later.
Examine each item on his learning list and make sure that he has the raw materials he needs for that behavior. For bathing, he needs a stable, nonslip shower perch. For learning to keep busy, he needs independent time, abundant opportunities for foraging and plenty of destroy toys. If you want him to stay put on his playgym, he needs lots to do while he is there.
Getting Started
Once you create a stimulating environment, make your list of living skills and any other behaviors you want to teach, and know what to use for positive reinforcement, you are ready to begin!
As you work to guide him and teach new behaviors, take your cues from him. Observe his body language when he interacts with you. Each young parrot has a different "personality,?dictated both by genetics as well as his earliest experiences with the breeder or pet store. Is he bold or is he shy? Does he appear confident or does he seem afraid when you ask him to step up? Do not rush a shy, young parrot into interacting in ways that aren? comfortable for him.
To start out, work to catch him in the act of being good. Get into the habit of watching for any desirable behavior he might offer. If he tries to bathe in his water dish, plays with a toy or eats his pellets, reward him. Keep an eye out for anything he does that you want to see again. Reinforce him immediately for that, either with praise, social attention or a small food treat. Ignore any undesirable behaviors, such as loud vocalizations. If a behavior gets no attention, it is less likely to occur again. Remember, he? always looking to you for feedback!
Teach Independence To Your Parrot
Teach your young parrot to be independent. This is one of your most important goals in the first year or two. While it may be cute now that he wants all of your attention, this won? be desirable later on. Don? allow him on your shoulder for any longer than a few minutes. A young parrot sitting on your shoulder is only learning dependence; he is not learning anything else. Instead, encourage him to perch near you and provide him with an interesting activity while he is there. That way, learns to entertain himself while you are busy with your own activities. He becomes more resourceful and is a more interesting companion as he matures.
Remembering conditions in the wild can offer important guidance to us as we raise a young parrot. After fledging, he is encouraged to join the flock and develop greater independence. He spends much less time at that point being physically close to his parents. Replicating this phase of his learning in captivity reaps huge rewards later on.
Stepping Up
Next, teach him to step confidently onto your hand when you ask. The conditions surrounding this request and his compliance sets the stage for all of your other interactions. Do not ever force or insist that he do so. Now is the time to develop that necessary bond of trust. Stepping up must be a choice for him ?and it is up to you to structure this interaction in such a way that he makes the correct choice!
He might already know how to do this. If so, make sure that good things happen for him every time he complies. Keep a variety of small food treats in your pocket, such as small pieces of nuts or sunflower seeds, so that you can offer him a treat or social reward immediately after he gets on your hand. Let him eat this before you walk with him. Some young parrots are too clumsy to eat a treat and perch on a moving hand at the same time.
Provide a steady hand for him to step onto and keep that hand still until he is perched securely on it before you start to walk. This helps to prevent any falls that might create fear or make him less likely to step up next time. Keep providing him with a reward for this behavior even after he learns it well.
Some young parrots are not given regular perching opportunities before going home, nor do they receive many opportunities to step onto a hand. Some have even learned already that stepping up brings scary consequences. Thus, they can be awkward, uncertain or even afraid when asked to step up. If this is the case, you need to proceed slowly. Insisting that a parrot steps up when he is reluctant or afraid to do so will only backfire later, because it breaks down the trust between you.
Start by making sure that he will take a food treat from your hand without appearing afraid. You might have to start out teaching this behavior. Once he takes a treat from your hand, encourage him to come closer and closer to your step-up hand to get the treat. Gradually encourage him to get onto your hand for the treat. If he seems uncertain, then put him right back down as soon as he has stepped up and taken the treat. Practice just this a few times a day before you start to take him around the house with you. Proceed slowly, giving him plenty of time to learn that this behavior brings good things.
Teaching this simple behavior well gives you a good start toward building a reciprocal relationship based upon trust rather than domination. If you do so, you will find that you soon have a young parrot that steps confidently and happily onto your hand from any perch from any height.
Once he? mastered this behavior, start teaching the other behaviors on your list.
Returning Your Parrot To The Cage
This may present no challenge for your young parrot. However, given the number of older parrots who resist when asked to return to their cages, I know that something breaks down along the way in relation to this behavior. Teach and maintain this important skill from the very beginning.
People sometimes engage in mythological thinking regarding pet bird behavior, which makes us less effective. For example, we tend to believe that a parrot should perform a behavior simply because we want him to. In reality, parrots and all animals offer us behaviors that will earn them the things they want.
Given that, when we ask a parrot to perform a behavior that might be more difficult, such as returning to his cage where freedom of movement is more restricted, we should offer a reinforcer equal to the difficulty of the task. If you provide a sunflower seed for stepping up, you might offer an almond or walnut half for going back into the cage. Do this, even if he offers you no resistance now.
Staying Put On His Parrot Playgym
It is always easier to prevent problems than to correct them later. Many caregivers complain that their older parrot won? stay put, but instead climbs down and walks around the house damaging possessions or chasing younger family members along the way.
If you want him to stay on his playgym, make sure that it offers him plenty to do. If it? not an interesting place to be, he won? want to stay there. Purchase a playgym that offers many places to hang toys and place food dishes. Then, furnish it with foraging opportunities and things he? interested in chewing. In addition, while he is perched there, frequently praise him and occasionally go over to offer a small treat. He will soon learn that remaining on his gym brings him lots of good things, and he will not be tempted to go wandering.
Parrot Bathtime
Now is the time to teach him that bathing is fun ?or at least tolerable. Individual pet birds differ in how readily they take to this behavior. Some love it the very first time. Others hang back, afraid of the water. Don? be discouraged if your pet bird seems afraid the first time you try this. Remember ?it? a skill he needs to have for good psychological and physical health.
Decide whether you want to bathe him; in the shower, with a spray bottle, or some parrots prefer a shallow dish of water. Once you?e chosen your method, proceed gradually if he seems uncertain. If you take him into the shower, begin by just letting him perch in the bathroom as he listens to the sound of the water. After he is used to this, he can sit on a shower perch just outside the water? spray. Finally, you can coax him to allow a brief spray onto his feathers, gradually building up to a complete shower at least once or twice a week.
If using a spray bottle, begin by spraying once up into the air over his perch so that the mist settles down gradually over him. If he reacts, walk away then come back a few minutes later with a second misting. As he learns that this doesn? hurt, gradually increase the length of his bath.
A Lifetime of Learning
Once these foundational behaviors are in place, decide what to teach next. Set aside a few minutes each day to continue his education. Doing this sets him up for a lifetime of happiness and health, while maintaining a strong bond of trust between you. Your young parrot has infinite learning potential and will thrive if provided with regular opportunities. He will maintain his interest in life and you will maintain your interest in him. A parrot with good living skills is a joy to have around.

Professor Parulekar's research interests are biochemical engineering and chemical reaction engineering. His present research activities in these areas are:
Biochemical Engineering
In the area of biochemical engineering, Professor Parulekar's research deals with production of extracellular and intracellular enzymes/proteins by recombinant and wildtype microorganisms, production of biochemicals using immobilized cell reactors, animal cell cultivations, and biodegradation of agrowaste-based polymeric products.
The research with recombinant organisms is aimed at gaining a fundamental understanding of hostplasmid interactions in these species and the effect of these interactions on plasmid replication, cell growth, and product gene expression. His research with wildtype microorganisms is directed toward understanding the mechanism of synthesis of extracellular enzymes such as amylases and proteases. The research dealing with immobilized cell reactors is focused on the study of alteration in cellular metabolism due to immobilization and implications of such alteration in the design of these reactors. The research with animal cell cultivations is concerned with shear sensitivity of animal cells, its implications in metabolic activities of animal cells, and identification of operating strategies for optimal production of desired metabolites in animal cell cultures. The research with agrowaste-based polymeric products is focused on studying the biodegradability characteristics of these products using enzyme mixtures, suspension and immobilized cultures of cell species responsible for biodegradation, soil columns, and understanding the kinetic and transport effects.
Chemical Reaction Engineering
In the area of chemical reaction engineering, his research is concerned with identification of optimal reactor structures for complex reaction networks and investigation of forced periodic operation of continuous flow (CSTR and tubular) reactors. Experimental investigation of production of acetylene, ethylene, ethane, and higher hydrocarbons via oxidative pyrolysis of methane and halomethanes in flow reactors is currently under investigation. The theoretical counterpart of this research is concerned with the development of detailed chemical kinetic models for this process.

What police are deeming a potentially very deadly car bomb was found in central London. It was defused by bomb experts but could have cause significant casualties had it detonated. The device was inside a Mercedes and consisted of propane cylinders, gasoline and nails.
Police have defused a car bomb found near Piccadilly Circus in London's West End.
The "explosive device", discovered at 2am, posed a real and substantial threat to the surrounding area, according to a police source.
Specialist officers have made the bomb safe and loaded the car, a silver Mercedes, onto a lorry to be taken from the scene.
Police were alerted this morning to a suspicious vehicle in The Haymarket area in the heart of theatreland, close to Regent Street's popular shopping area.
A witness reported seeing gas canisters being removed from the car, believed to be a silver Mercedes, at around 4am.
The vehicle was covered in a blue tarpaulin as forensic teams examined it.
The area, including Piccadilly Underground station, has been cordoned off and will remain closed for some time, police said.
Scotland Yard said detectives from Counter Terrorism Command were investigating the potential bomb plot.
There is no indication yet who built the device or why. While the British press is calling it a car bomb, the New York Times is only calling it a "suspected" one. You know, it might be any number of things when propane cylinders, gasoline and lots of nails are wired together with a detonator. Maybe a planter, right NYT?

There will be a unique addition to the Tryon Fine Arts Center lobby Thursday when Tryon Little Theater (TLT) opens "Steel Magnolias," the first play in the company's 60th anniversary season.
Because the show's pivotal character, Shelby Eatenton, struggles with diabetes she's had since childhood, TLT will take advantage of a natural opportunity to help support Camp Independence, the American Diabetes Association's summer program for diabetic children held once a year in Greenville, S.C. Donations to help cover children's camp expenses (the ADA covers at least half, sometimes all of the fee through charitable donations) will be accepted at the box office when show tickets are purchased, as well as in a special area of the Fine Arts Center lobby during performances.
"Steel Magnolias," the bittersweet dramedy by Robert Harling based on his own family saga, welcomes audiences into Truvy Jones's garage cum beauty shop in Chinquapin Parish, La. Here they witness, up close and personally, an often irreverent, frequently poignant slice from the lives of six southern women who take the term "support system" to a whole new level.
This is a season of encore shows for Tryon's non-profit theater company - the all-time favorites from 60 years of entertaining - and "Steel Magnolias" is at the top of the list. The ensemble cast includes Jade Day Burdett as Shelby and Susie Kocher as her exasperated career mom M'Lynn. Sam Lovelace as salon owner and exuberant "hostess" Truvy Jones, Shawna Reid in the role of Annelle (played by Darryl Hannah in the screen version), Mimi Alexander as Clairee - a grande dame with a twist, and Cathy Millwood as acerbic, curmudgeonly, big-hearted Ouiser, round out the cast.
In the words of this show's director Frances McCain, who played the role of Truvy in TLT's original production of "Steel Magnolias" some years back, "These are real women - women you know if you live in the South. You run into them at the grocery store, trade kid stories and husband woes. You laugh at their jokes, cry with them when things are tough. It's not just their story, it's all of ours."
In fact, "Steel Magnolias" is the true story of playwright Harling's sister and was written on a friend's advice to deal with a difficult time by penning his thoughts. The results continue to touch audiences of all descriptions. Tryon Little Theater's reprise expects to touch four more.
Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28.
For tickets, visit the Tryon Fine Arts Center Box Office, 34 Melrose Ave., Tryon. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Or call (828) 859-8322 during those hours. Donations to Camp Independence may be made via separate check. Receipts will be issued for tax purposes.
There will be a unique addition to the Tryon Fine Arts Center lobby Thursday when Tryon Little Theater (TLT) opens "Steel Magnolias," the first play in the company's 60th anniversary season.
