Secondly, I have felt that it is somewhat improper to engage in such wrangling when our Orthodox brothers and sisters are so close to us in spirit and doctrine (far more than most Protestant brethren in Christ). I believe it is much more important -- all things considered -- to find common ground with them. Nevertheless, I do continue to think that a comparison and contrast of the two outlooks is a valid undertaking, particularly for the sake of potential converts from Protestantism who are asking about the differences which exist. Obviously, I think Catholicism is the "better" option of the two, since I am a Catholic (and I could have just as well converted to Orthodoxy, and know formerly Protestant friends who did).
So my book will explain why I am Catholic rather than Orthodox, with no intended disrespect towards the latter. If we can't talk about our differences in a gentlemanly manner, then we won't advance Christian unity, because we will then merely be pretending that the differences don't exist, or that they do, but they don't matter. They certainly do matter. If they didn't, then the schism between East and West was even more tragic than it was, and unnecessary in any sense.
Orthodox Christianity possesses the seven sacraments, valid ordination, the Real Presence, a reverential understanding of Sacred Tradition, apostolic succession, a profound piety, a great history of contemplative and monastic spirituality, a robust veneration of Mary and the saints, and many other truly Christian attributes. Catholics (including myself) widely admire, in particular, the sense of the sacred and the beauty and grandeur of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy (which -- it should be noted -- is also present in the many Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church), as the great Catholic author Thomas Howard eloquently illustrates:
When I walk into an Orthodox Church . . . one is immediately aware that one has stepped into the presence of what St. Paul would call the whole family in heaven and earth. You have stepped into the precincts of heaven! . . . I love the Orthodox Church's spirit. I think the Orthodox Church many, many centuries ago, discovered a mode of music and worship which is timeless, which is quite apart from fashion, and which somehow answers to the mystery and the solemnity and the sacramental reality of the liturgy.
(1 "A Conversation With Thomas Howard and Frank Schaeffer," The Christian Activist, vol. 9, Fall/Winter 1996, 43)
In pointing out the differences between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, no disrespect is intended towards my Eastern brethren in Christ; this is simply a "comparison and contrast" for the purpose of educating inquirers who are interested in both Christian communions. My Catholic bias will be evident and should not come as a surprise to anyone. Nevertheless, I devoutly hope that I succeed in avoiding the shortcomings of triumphalism or lack of charity. And I certainly do not wish to misrepresent Orthodox views in any fashion.
Catholics must believe that Orthodoxy is a part of the universal Church (commensurate with the Second Vatican Council and many recent papal encyclicals on ecumenism in general or Orthodoxy in particular). That fact alone precludes the justification of any condescension, animosity, or hostility, which is especially sinful amongst Christians (Galatians 6:10).
[See: Ut Unum Sint -- That They May Be One, Orientale Lumen -- The Light of the East (encyclicals of Pope John Paul II), and Common Declaration of Pope John Paul II and Patriarch Bartholomew I (29 June 1995) ]
The Nicene Creed, adhered to by most Christians, contains the phrase, "One, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church." From a Catholic ecclesiological perspective, Orthodoxy -- strictly speaking – is not "one" Church, but a conglomerate of at least seventeen, each with separate governance. The Encyclopedia Britannica (1985 edition, vol. 17, 867) states that, "Since the Russian Revolution there has been much turmoil and administrative conflict within the Orthodox Church." Although Orthodox theology is fairly homogeneous, nevertheless, a Catholic would respectfully reply that none of these "autocephalous" churches can speak with the doctrinal definitiveness which existed in the Church before 1054, and which indeed still resides in the papacy and magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Catholics assert that Orthodoxy's rejection of the papacy is inconsistent with the nature of the Church through the centuries. No one denies the existence of the papacy in some form in the early period. Orthodoxy, however, regards the authority exercised by popes historically (or which should have been exercised) as simply that of a primacy of honor, rather than a supremacy of jurisdiction over all other bishops and regional churches. To counter that claim, Catholics point to biblical Petrine evidences and the actual wielding of authority by renowned popes such as St. Leo the Great (440-61) and St. Gregory the Great (590-604), honored as saints even by the Orthodox.
The papacy, according to Catholic Tradition, is a divinely-instituted office, not merely (as Orthodoxy considers the papacy and Roman supremacy) a political and historical happenstance. Rome was apostolic, and preeminent from the beginning of Christianity, whereas Constantinople (the seat of the Byzantine Empire) was not.
Orthodoxy (and Eastern Catholic Christianity, from roughly the second half of the first millennium) has been plagued with caesaropapism, which, in effect (in terms of exercised power and de facto jurisdiction, if not actual Orthodox doctrinal teaching), places the state above the church -– somewhat similar to early Lutheranism and Anglicanism.
In Catholicism, on the other hand, it is significantly easier to maintain the notion that the Church is regarded as above all states (which Orthodoxy also formally believes), and is their judge, as the carrier of God's Law, which transcends and forms the basis of man's law. The papacy is the bulwark and standard and symbol whereby this dichotomy is supported. Patriarchs -- oftentimes -- were put into power by the Emperors in the East according to their whim and fancy and were all too frequently little more than puppets or yes-men. Noble exceptions, such as a St. John Chrysostom or a St. Flavian, more often than not had to appeal to Rome in order to save their patriarchates or necks or both.
Orthodoxy accepts the first seven ecumenical councils (up to the Second Council of Nicaea in 787), but no more. From a Catholic perspective, this appears incoherent and implausible. Why have an agreed-upon system in which Councils are central to the governance of the Church universal, and then all of a sudden they cease, and Orthodox Christians must do without them for 1200 years?
Likewise, Orthodoxy accepts the doctrinal development which occurred in the first eight centuries of the Church, but then allows little of any noteworthiness to take place thereafter. For instance, the filioque, i.e., the doctrine that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, rather than from the Father alone (which the West added to the Nicene Creed), was rejected by the East, and has been considered by the Orthodox a major reason for the enduring schism, yet Catholics would reply that it was a straightforward development of trinitarian theology (one of many accepted by both East and West).
Aspects of doctrines such as the Blessed Virgin Mary and purgatory (not defined doctrine, although the Orthodox pray for the dead), which experienced a measure of development in the Middle Ages and after, are not recognized in Orthodoxy. For example, Orthodoxy doesn't define the Marian doctrines of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption, but it should be noted that Orthodox individuals are free to believe these without being deemed "heretical." Catholics feel that Orthodoxy is implicitly denying the notion of the Church (past the eighth century) as the living, developing Body of Christ, continuously led into deeper truth by the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:13-15).
Catholics would argue that Orthodoxy has not come to grips with modernity and the new challenges to Christianity that it brings, in terms of how to effectively communicate the gospel to modern man. The Catholic Church renewed itself along these lines in the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). One need not compromise doctrine in order to deal with the modern situation. Pope John Paul II does not do so in his stream of extremely relevant and cogent encyclicals on present-day issues such as moral theology, labor, the family, the role of women, the place of laypeople, etc.
Although, as a result of this undertaking (i.e., due to a corruption of the nature of the Council by ambitious heterodox Catholics), the Catholic Church suffers from a modernist crisis within its own ranks, this too will pass, and Orthodoxy is not altogether immune from such things. Signs of a revival of orthodoxy in the Catholic ranks are increasing, and the nonsense will fade away like all the other crises and heretical movements in the past. The long-term benefits of the strategy to confront the culture boldly and with fresh insight and innovation (within the bounds of traditional Catholic orthodoxy) will be evident in the years to come.
Orthodoxy, although praiseworthy in its generally traditional stand for Christian morality, differs from Catholicism over the question of the propriety and morality of contraception, which was universally condemned by all branches of Christianity until 1930. Thus, Catholics feel that they (almost alone today) are more in accord with apostolic Christian Tradition on this point, and that an acceptance of contraception is a giving in to humanistic sexual ethics. Catholics regard it as a mortal sin, whereas much of Orthodoxy does not even forbid it. To be fair, it is true that some of the more "conservative" or "traditional" branches of Orthodoxy have retained the traditional view, but the very fact of plurality in such a grave moral issue is highly troubling.
Catholics also believe that Jesus and the apostles, and ancient Christian Tradition, considered a valid sacramental marriage between two baptized Christians as absolutely indissoluble. An annulment is essentially different from a divorce in that it is the determination (based on a variety of possible reasons) that a valid sacramental marriage never existed. Orthodoxy accepts second and third marriages, with, however, a measure of penitential sadness commensurate with a falling short of the Christian ideal, and feels that this is a tragic pastoral necessity, in light of the fallen human condition.

When I was pregnant with my first daughter I knew I wanted to breastfeed, but I was afraid that would exclude my husband. I signed us up for the breastfeeding class at Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point. You're probably wondering why I'd drag my husband along with me to a class about something only I can do, but it was a really good idea. Not only did we both learn how breastfeeding works and why I should do it, but we also learned how he can be a part of it.
- Support from Dads is huge. Without my husband's support and praise I wouldn't have stuck with it as long as I did.
- Dads can change diapers and burp baby. While I was getting settled in and ready to nurse, my husband changed my daughter's diaper. He'd sit with me even if it was a midnight feeding and burp her when it was time. It was the first time he and I truly felt like a parenting team.
- When it comes to feeding in public, it's nice to have Dad around to help shield you. The nursing aprons are so nice, but it's hard to get the baby latched on when you can't see them so it's nice to have dad hold out the apron so you can see for a moment.
When I was pregnant with the twins I was nervous about how breastfeeding would be possible. I signed us up for the class again even though we'd taken it less then two years earlier. I'm glad I did because the techniques are different for feeding twins and it really takes some assistance from Dad to make it work. In fact when the babies are really small it is so much easier when there are two people to get them latched on.
Breastfeeding is a lot of work, but the bond you create with your little one makes it worth it. The other perks include saving money and not having to pack bottles and formula every time you go out the door.
Breastfeeding leads to healthier babies, because baby gets antibodies from mom to help fight off sickness. Breastfeeding has also been linked to higher IQ scores, lower risk of childhood obesity and diabetes.
Besides all the benefits to baby there are also benefits to breastfeeding mothers. The one most mom's really like is that it burns extra calories so you lose the baby weight faster. It also releases a hormone that causes the uterus to shrink faster and may reduce bleeding after birth. Studies also show that it reduces your risk for breast and uterine cancer.
Benefits for Dad, saving money and not having to mix formula and warm up bottles.
If you are pregnant and considering breastfeeding I recommend you and your partner take the breastfeeding class. There's one coming up on July 10th. Or you can check the calendar of events for other dates that might work out better for you. Click the link below.

CHARLOTTE, NC (RNN) – Mother Nature likes messing with the political process.
The Republicans had Hurricane Isaac that postponed their festivities in Tampa, and late afternoon summer thunderstorm cut short CarolinaFest2012 for the Democrats.
As native North Carolinian James Taylor sang "You've Got a Friend," the skies opened up and people ran for cover under awnings, hotel drive ups, parking garages and covered restaurant patios.
Many lingered to see if the concert would continue after a rain delay, but organizers canceled the event.
Earlier in the afternoon, a burst of thunderstorms shortened Jeff Bridges' performance, but the mostly hometown crowd was back in force after a couple hours to watch Taylor perform.
"We came here three hours ago to see Jeff Bridges," said John Ponischil, of Charlotte. He and his wife, Tamara, have seen Bridges perform four times, but won't be attending the convention.
Ponischil said he came out to CarolinaFest2012 for hometown pride, but won't be attending the convention, which has opened up many events up to the public with "Community Credentials."
The Community Credentials will allow the general public to watch Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama give their acceptance speeches.
CarolinaFest2012 event serves as a Labor Day festivities for the city, but this year is also kicking off convention week activities. Although some delegates attended the concert, many were at state delegation meetings across the city.
Other Charlotte residents are taking advantage of having the convention in their city. Arlene McCray and her boyfriend, Lewis Lindo, have volunteered with the convention.
McCray said she signed up months ago, but didn't hear anything until recently because many others across the country also signed up.
"Once they realized that a plane ticket was $1,600 and a hotel room was $900, we got in," McCray said.
Many caucuses and meetings were held Monday, but Tuesday the convention will officially begin with such speakers as Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker, Sandra Fluke and San Antonio, TX Mayor Julian Castro, who will give the keynote address.
"I think everyone in this city should volunteer for this event because of the history," McCray said - no matter the political affiliation. "We may not get a chance to see something like this again."

One of the most coveted gifts a young person can get is a concert ticket to see their favorite group or artist. They can be hard to get, and expensive. But too many kids are learning a hard lesson by showing up at the concert only to find out somebody else has used that ticket. So, how does it happen?Kids get so excited when they score big concert tickets, so how do they show it? Some post it on social media, where all of their friends see it. But strangers often see it, too. They can steal the ticket right from the screen. What they do is copy the barcode and put it on a homemade ticket. Those strangers can now use your ticket without even taking them from you. Fake tickets are a problem for any venue. You are unlikely to get an incident like resolved when you get to the concert, and find out your ticket is no good because it's already been used.

By M.L. ElrickFOX 2 News Investigative Reporter
DETROIT (WJBK) - Thursday was not a good day for Yankees fans in Detroit.Just ask Max Berger.Berger, a lawyer who represents Detroit's two city pension funds in security fraud cases, took a 6 o'clock flight from New York so he could testify that his firm was essentially rooked out of $30,000. The culprit? Ron Zajac, the pension funds' long-time lawyer, and the Kilpatrick Civic Fund, on whose behalf Zajac hit Berger up for big-time contributions to Kilpatrick's non-profit.If that wasn't bad enough, Kilpatrick attorney Jim Thomas clowned him for being a Yankees fan, sneaking a lawyerly "would you believe the Yankees are going to lose tonight …" into one of his hypothetical cross-examination questions.Prosecutor Michael Bullotta tried to provide Berger an out -- he was, after all, a prosecution witness -- by suggesting that Berger might be a Mets fan.But Berger, who looked like even his diapers had pinstripes, said he favored the Bronx Bombers. Then he conceded: "They're going to lose anyway."The coup de grace came after both sides finished questioning Berger.U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds told him: "You are excused. You may step down and go home and weep about the Yankees."It was a fitting jab from a mostly no-nonsense judge who has tried to lighten the mood for jurors with frequent references to the Tigers and her hopes that they will succeed.And, of course, they did several hours later, clinching the American League pennant by completing a sweep of the Yanks with an 8-1 victory that marked the third straight time they had eliminated the Yankees from the playoffs.While fair-weather fans are as common to winning teams as photos of Geoffrey Fieger are to Geoffrey Fieger's law offices, Thomas seemed to clear up any doubt about Edmunds' enthusiasm for the Tigers even before testimony started Thursday morning when he asked her: "So, did you buy beers for three hours waiting for the game to start?""I was lucky," she replied. "I was in a suite. So somebody else bought the beers."Berger's testimony marked the end of the Kilpatrick Civic Fund chapter of the Kilpatrick & Co. trial. We heard a lot about how Kilpatrick and his crew spent the money on debatable items like trips and yoga lessons and crisis managers. And we heard a lot about how some of those expenses might be justifiable if they helped Kilpatrick woo benefactors, polish his image and maintain his ability to raise money for the non-profit established to improve voter turnout, neighborhoods and the city's image.But as we turn the page to the chapter in which prosecutors say we'll hear plenty about the "culture of corruption" emanating from city hall that allegedly helped Kilpatrick and his associates extort millions, I can't help wondering why so much time, effort and money was spent on maintaining Kilpatrick's ability to raise more money, and why so little seemed to be spent carrying out the non-profit's mission.Perhaps we'll hear more about that if and when the defense takes their turn to present their case for acquittal.Follow M.L. Elrick's coverage of the Kilpatrick & Co. trial daily on FOX 2 and at www.myfoxdetroit.com. Contact him at email@example.com or via Twitter (@elrick) or Facebook.

SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) -- The parents and a grandmother of a malnourished 18-month-old disabled boy have been charged in his death and for poor care provided to five siblings, most of whom also were malnourished and undersized for their ages.
The indictment was unsealed late Monday against Adrienne Bartholomew, 35, and James Brothers, 33, and a grandmother who was caring for the children, Debra Nelson, 62, all of Vermilion.
Each was charged with counts including involuntary manslaughter in the death of Isaac Brothers-Bartholomew, and child endangerment involving five of his six siblings. The parents were named in a 12-count indictment and the grandmother in a 13-count indictment.
The three were arrested Monday and jailed on bonds of more than a quarter-million dollars each.
It wasn't clear Tuesday if any of the three have attorneys. The parents didn't respond to Associated Press interview requests last fall at the time of the boy's death.
The autopsy blamed the death on malnourishment and dehydration.
The boy was found dead in the home after the mother called 911 to report he was unresponsive and "stiff as a board."
After the baby died in November, authorities removed six other children from the home, most of them had disabilities and were malnourished. A 6-year-old weighed 23 pounds, about half the average 40- to 50-pound weight for that age. The oldest child was 11.
All seven were the couple's biological children, social service officials said.
Erie County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Jared Oliver said the indictments were meant to provide justice to the victim.
"We did some checking in the medical records and learned that the child hadn't been seen by a doctor in eight months," Oliver said.
In a report, deputies say Bartholomew told them last fall that five of the seven children "suffer from various severe physical and mental handicaps that require around-the-clock care."
A report by sheriff's deputies at the scene at the time of the death said one room had four cribs and many pieces of medical equipment.

Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine in six different movies. While he's still enjoying it, The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past are sounding like the end. He told EW, "I wasn't even sure after the first film if I would do another. I won't say never, because I'm still loving it. But there would have to be a pretty compelling reason."
Jackman could always change his mind, or be replaced. But, that'd be tough. To us, Jackman is Wolverine. Let's just hope X-Men isn't rebooted like Superman and Spiderman have been. I don't think anyone else could really pull off the character - at least not for a few decades and for a whole new generation of movie goers, if ever.
The Wolverine opens on July 26, 2013 and X-Men Days of Future Past opens on July 18, 2014.

I have made it well known that I am a huge fan of hoppy beers. This is not to say that I patently dislike other beers, but hops are king in my book. I have a friend who is my exact opposite, dislikes the hops, and everything about them. His favorite beer is Oberon from Bells This is also one of my really "hot day" go to beers. I had him try one of my new favorite beer Dales Pale Ale , he was excited to have me try one of his favorites Abita Amber.
Abita Amber Lager ( ABV 4.5%,IBU 17) is brewed in Abita Springs, LA (just north of New Orleans). It's a Munich style lager brewed with crystal malt and Perle hops Found it interesting that they say "brewed with spring water" on the cap. Not sure if that is suppose to be good or bad, just don't remember seeing that on most beer caps. Abita Amber has a nice copper color and I would call an earthy malt taste. Amber lagers are usually not my choice, but after working all day, coming home and tending to the yard for a few extra hours, I must admit this beer tasted good. I would say it is much more of a light amber though. If you are looking for a bold flavored beer, this one is not for you. I would consider Abita Amber Lager a solid "hot day" kind of a beer.

Morning DiscussionAccording to TVLine.com, Super Bowl XLV was the highest rated event in the sport's history. Based on ratings data the big game tackled 111 million viewers, besting last year's game by 4.5 million sports fans.
The numbers are certainly deserved since XLV was one of the more exciting championship games I've seen in a very long time--in any sport. The outcome wasn't what I expected but it was entertaining from top to bottom.
Actually, there was a terrible bit in the middle where my television started flickering and the sound started to break apart. No matter how hard I hit my television it just wouldn't right itself and, in some spots, started to get so bad I thought my TV was going to break. But then the Black Eyed Peas got off the stage and everything was cool again.

30-year-old Gabrial Cooper has been a criminal his entire adult life. He's done prison time for stolen property, motor vehicle, fleeing police.
Now he stands charged with robbing and raping three women in Detroit, two of the events happening while he was a parole absconder.
Fox 2 legal analyst Charlie Langton says so many people are on parole and so few are supervising them.
Often absconders, like Cooper aren't picked up and some go on to the kind of damage this guy is accused of doing when he should have been behind bars.
On September 26th on Fenkell it's alleged he ran up behind a woman, put a knife to her throat took her behind an abandoned building and then robber and raped her.
On December 29th, on Plainview, he's accused of kidnapping a woman while she shoveled snow and then robbed and raped her at gunpoint.
Pay the video report from Fox 2's Amy Lange to find out what else Cooper is accused of doing and to hear more from Fox 2's Charlie Lange about why parole absconders are common place>>
Cooper was listed as a parole absconder on October 1st, 2012, just days after that attack on Fenkell, but that's not all.
Cooper was charged with rape and kidnapping back in June of 2011, accused of raping an acquaintance at knife point in an abandoned house.
He said they had consensual sex at a motel. The case was ordered dismissed at the request of the prosecutor because of credibility issues with the alleged victim.
Now there are three more alleged victims and one man prosecutors say is responsible for these heinous crimes.

Five degrees employers want the most
Want to know which college degrees get two thumbs up from employers? Check out these top degree picks from HR experts.
Are you thinking of going back to school to earn your degree, but wonder which degrees are at the top of employers' must-have lists? We wondered, too. So we talked to two human resources experts to find out what degrees they say are trending now - and will be for a while to come.
The first expert we talked to, Vicki Lynn, was straight to the point: "While I love the liberal arts, I would steer people away from majors such as history, anthropology, and sociology."
Unless you have a higher degree like a master's or Ph.D., it's hard to find jobs with those degrees, according to Lynn, who's senior vice president of Universum, a global talent recruiting company that works with many Fortune 500 companies.
"You've got to look at degrees that produce marketable skills immediately upon graduation," says Lynn. For example, she suggests degrees like engineering, accounting, computer science... well, we'll get to all that below.
We next called Susan Heathfield, a management consultant and About.com's Guide to Human Resources. She echoed Lynn's advice to seek practical degrees that result in marketable skills.
"English, literature, philosophy, they're all great. Just not if you want to be competitive in today's job market," Heathfield says. Like Lynn, she was hot on math and science-based degrees.
Sensing a theme here, we asked them about specific degrees that they think have the best shot at making you more employable.
Keep reading for five of their degree picks.
Hot Pick #1: Bachelor's in Business Administration
Looking for a degree that the hiring experts say is about as versatile as they come? Look no further than a bachelor's in business administration. In today's world you'll need business skills in any career you pursue, according to Lynn.
If you're wondering what you'll study as a business major, the College Board - an educational organization that administers aptitude tests like the SAT - says business administration and management students could learn how to "plan, organize, direct, and control an organization's activities." For that, you could take courses like financial management, business policy and strategy, business ethics and law, and human resources management.
The Expert's Take: "I meet with all kinds of companies and they hire lots of business majors," says Lynn. "They like them because they understand the value chain, they know how to read a spreadsheet, they know how to read a profit and loss statement, and they understand strategy. These are high-paying positions with terrific opportunities."

Potential Career: Even better, a bachelor's degree in business administration could help prep you to pursue a career as a financial analyst, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. But be aware that some employers could require candidates to have a master's in business administration or finance.
Financial Analyst Median Annual Wage: $75,650*
Average Wage for Workers in the 10th percentile: $46,300
Average Wage for Workers in the 90th percentile: $145,580
Hot Pick #2: Bachelor's in Health Care Administration
Want a degree related to an industry that both the U.S. Department of Labor- and our HR experts - are optimistic about? Try a bachelor's in health care administration.
For one, it's in the health care field, which - along with the social assistance industry - the Department of Labor projects will create about 28 percent of all new U.S. jobs from 2010 to 2020.
As for the degree itself, if you pursue a bachelor's in health services administration, you'll likely study current and important topics like how to make health care more affordable and universal, according to the College Board. It says common courses could include health care law (talk about topical...), human resources management, economics of health care, and accounting.
The Expert's Take: "No matter what happens politically, most Americans think we need to repair health care," says Heathfield. "So I think in any case, good health care management will be needed in the future."
Heathfield adds that because this degree also teaches skills in accounting, business, and human resources management, these graduates could also be in demand in other businesses as managers of people or finances.

Potential Career: Talk about a hot degree: According to the Department, a bachelor's in health administration could help you gain the knowledge to prepare to pursue a career as a medical and health services manager.
Medical and Health Services Manager Median Annual Wage: $86,400*
Average Wage for Workers in the 10th percentile: $52,730
Average Wage for Workers in the 90th percentile: $147,890
Hot Pick #3: Bachelor's in Accounting
Do you picture yourself one day working at a major business firm, giving fiscal advice to upper management? A bachelor's in accounting might help you gain the edge that gets you heard in the boardroom.
That's because accounting majors study something that every business must deal with: how to manage money and balance the books. According to the College Board, this major is also big on teaching students how to prepare tax filings - another function that could be important to businesses. To prepare for all these duties, accounting majors typically take courses in accounting as well as business law, auditing, and tax accounting, says the College Board.
The Expert's Take: "We work with major firms - Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and KPMG - and they can't find enough talent in accounting," says Lynn, who names accounting as one of her top hot degrees. "Plus, you could work anywhere and for a variety of different businesses," adds Lynn.

Potential Career: How can this hot degree prepare you for the financial world? According to the U.S. Department of Labor, "most accountants need at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field."
Accountant Median Annual Wage: $62,850*
Average Wage for Workers in the 10th percentile: $39,640
Average Wage for Workers in the 90th percentile: $109,870
Hot Pick #4: Bachelor's in Communications
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... What do all these have in common - besides taking up your free time? They are all modes of communication. And as you know, they are also all super hot right now. This is a big reason why a bachelor's degree in communications - as long as it includes an emphasis in marketing - gets both our experts' endorsements.
Communications majors might learn how to communicate a company's messages to consumers, among other duties, says the College Board. They could also gain professional writing, editing, and speaking skills through classes like public relations writing, writing for business and technology, business communication, and advertising and marketing communications.
The Expert's Take: "Social media marketing is huge and will be for a long time," says Heathfield. "Every company looking for marketing people puts an emphasis on these skills."
Lynn agrees, echoing that this degree's popularity has changed with the times and is now in demand thanks to the craze for social media.

Potential Career: Intrigued by this in-demand degree? According to the U.S. Department of Labor, one career path for this degree is public relations manager. In fact, they say a bachelor's degree in communication, public relations, or journalism is typically required to prepare to pursue a public relations management position.
Public Relations Manager Median Annual Wage: $93,310*
Average Wage for Workers in the 10th percentile: $50,360
Average Wage for Workers in the 90th percentile: $176,400
Hot Pick #5: Bachelor's in Computer Science
Are you interested in learning how computer programs work? You could have the makings of a computer science major. And that could have the makings of a promising career, according to Lynn, who likes what this degree tends to teach.
According to the College Board, as a computer science major, you could study everything from the theory and design of software to the programming of computers. Typical coursework might include artificial intelligence, computer system organization, digital system design, and software engineering.
The Expert's Take: "Every company I talk to needs software engineers, and they will pay a premium," says Lynn. "They'll pay a fortune for a bachelor's degree [holder] in computer science. Some of these salaries, with perks and bonuses, are over $100,000."
Of course, keep in mind that pay will vary by a variety of factors, including experience and location - to name just a few.

What Employers Think Of Popular Majors
Are the most popular bachelor's degrees among students also popular with employers in the real world?
Are you thinking of going back to school but not sure what to study? It's only natural to gravitate toward a major that's popular. But are the popular majors what employers want?
This is an important question, as you're probably going back to school to change careers, get a promotion, or get a job. So the last thing you want to do is hang around the popular major for a few years only to find out it's all looks and no brains. Remember how well that worked out in high school?
To help you sift through the choices, we consulted a 2011 study titled "What's It Worth? The Economic Value of College Majors" by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. It breaks down 171 majors in 15 major groups, rating their popularity and earning potential.
But we didn't stop there. We cross-referenced that data with a 2012 Georgetown study called "Hard Times, Not All College Degrees Are Created Equal," which reports on unemployment rates for recent college grads with bachelor's degrees in specific majors or larger major groups. For popular major groups that also enjoyed low unemployment, we provided examples of specific majors from the group that are leading the way in terms of employability.
Finally, we consulted Susan Heathfield, a management consultant and writer of About.com's Guide to Human Resources, for a take on which majors today's employers actually want. So before you sidle up to the most popular degree on campus, read on to see whether it offers any future, or whether the fun will be over the morning after graduation.
Popular Major Group #1: Business
Percentage Studying Business: 25*
Maybe it's because, as U.S. President Calvin Coolidge once said famously, the chief business of the American people is business. Maybe it's because business is such a versatile area of study. Whatever the reason, business came in number one in the Georgetown "Worth" study, with a whopping 25 percent of students pursuing some sort of business degree.
Thumbs Up or Down? Business is a thumbs up, says Heathfield, because it's a solid area of study that employers like. But more specifically among the business major group, Heathfield is a big fan of accounting degrees. "I'm most high on accounting," she says. "Accounting is an area that is applicable to every industry, so job opportunities will be plentiful."
Accounting scored well on Georgetown's "Hard Times" report, too, backing up Heathfield's optimistic outlook. Recent accounting majors had just a 6.8 percent unemployment rate, according to that report.
Click to Find the Right Accounting Program.
Think an accounting program is only about crunching numbers? Fear not. According to the College Board, a nonprofit research organization that promotes higher education, as an accounting major, you might supplement your accounting and auditing instruction with courses like business law, accounting information systems, and tax accounting.

Popular Major Group #2: Education
Percentage Studying Education: 10.6*
If learning how to help mentor the next generation sounds good, you're not alone. The Georgetown "Worth" study placed majors in the education field - everything from art and music education to elementary education to special needs education - at second in popularity among students.
Thumbs Up or Down? The education major group is another thumbs up, says Heathfield. "We'll always need teachers, but I also see these jobs as regional. If [education] graduates are willing to follow the jobs, and move to where the opportunities arise, then they will be employable," she says.
One specific education major that's popular with both Heathfield and students alike is elementary education. A full third of students studying education are pursuing a bachelor's degree focusing on elementary, according to the Georgetown "Worth" report.
And that popularity could have something to do with the fact that recent elementary education grads face an unemployment rate of just 4.8 percent - third only to nursing and family and consumer sciences - according to Georgetown's "Hard Times" study.
Click to Find the Right Education Program.
According to the College Board, in an elementary school teaching program, you might take classes in child development and learning, teaching methods, and educational psychology.
Related Majors**:
Popular Major Group #3: Humanities and Liberal Arts
Percentage Studying Humanities and Liberal Arts: 9.7*
In ancient Greece, the liberal arts were pursued by those who wanted to become virtuous, articulate, and well-rounded. And apparently, we still like that idea, since the humanities and liberal arts came in third overall in the Georgetown "Worth" study.
Thumbs Up or Down? Thumbs down. Unfortunately, in today's world, employers are not so enamored with Renaissance men. They want people who can sell things, engineer things, design software, etc. And Heathfield agrees: "I love the liberal arts, but these graduates don't come out with many marketable skills."
Perhaps that's why the Georgetown "Hard Times" report found the unemployment rate among recent grads of the humanities and liberal arts major group to be a startling 9.4 percent.
Of course, if you do decide to test the odds and pursue a humanities program, the College Board says you might take courses such as history of literary criticism and theory, and development of Western civilization. If you decide on a liberal arts and sciences program, classes such as cultural anthropology or English literature might be in your curriculum.
Related Majors**:
- English
- Philosophy
Popular Major Group #4: Engineering
Percentage Studying Engineering: 8.2*
Do you like to tear things apart and figure out how they work? Maybe you love to figure out better ways to build things. If so, engineering might be the major for you. And although the Georgetown "Worth" study ranked the engineering major group at number four out of 15, Heathfield feels it should be at the top of people's lists.
Thumbs Up or Down? Thumbs way up. Heathfield says engineering, especially bio-engineering and electrical engineering, is a top pick for her. Why? "There will be jobs for engineers and those jobs pay very well," she says.
Georgetown's "Hard Times" study doesn't contradict. Recent graduates from the engineering major group face an unemployment rate of 7.5 percent. Still, Heathfield says it is a tough major.
Click to Find the Right Engineering Program.
If you want to pursue electrical engineering, for example, the College Board says your class schedule might include digital systems, electrodynamics, circuit analysis and design, and semiconductor technology. Not exactly a breeze, to say the least.
Related Majors**:
Popular Major Group #5: Health***
Percentage Studying Health: 6.9*
In case you haven't noticed, there's been a lot of talk around health care in the past few years. A lot. That's because the aging baby boomer generation is living longer and needs more tests and procedures, says Heathfield.
Thumbs Up or Down? Thumbs way up. According to Heathfield, anything in the health care field is a winner. Talking field specifics, Heathfield likes nursing and pharmaceutical technology. "Nursing because it's hands-on, and pharmaceutical studies because we are such a [medication]-dependent society," she says.
Although Georgetown's "Hard Times" study doesn't offer unemployment figures for pharmaceutical technology majors, it does report a refreshingly low 4.0 percent unemployment rate for recent nursing grads.
Click to Find the Right Nursing Program.
If you're thinking of studying nursing, here are some classes you might encounter: anatomy and physiology, chemistry, microbiology, and nutrition.
Related Majors**:
* According to a 2011 study titled "What's It Worth? The Economic Value of College Majors" by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
** All related majors selected from larger major group as determined by the Georgetown "Hard Times" report.
*** At 6.9 percent, the popular major group health was tied with social science.

Healthy Solutions - Natural Rx Replacements to Treat Arthritis and Foggy Memory
By Victoria Dolby Toews, MPH
Aching knees? Instead of NSAIDs, try glucosamine and Phellodendron amurense.
What's the problem?
Osteoarthritis is an unwelcome guest in the knees, hips, and other joints of 20 million Americans. This chronic disease, caused by the breakdown of joint tissue, generally sets in after age 40 and is the most common source of physical disability in adults.
What do doctors prescribe?
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the go-to medication for doctors treating osteoarthritis. NSAIDs come with a parcel of potential GI troubles, including nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and ulcers, as well as headache, bloating, and kidney and liver failure.
What's a natural alternative?
A combination of 1,500 mg of glucosamine and 1,200 mg of chondroitin is as effective as one of the most expensive NSAIDs (Celebrex) for moderate-to-severe knee pain of osteoarthritis, according to results from a National Institutes of Health study involving more than 1,500 patients.
If you're still not getting relief from your pain, you might consider trying a promising new option: an extract from the plant Phellodendron amurense (sometimes found under the name "Nexrutine" on supplement labels). Preliminary results show it may significantly ease pain and inflammation. For those who want to try it, 750 mg a day is a good place to start.
Foggy memory? Instead of Aricept, try Chinese club moss.
What's the problem?
Memory starts an inexorable decline as early as the 20s, although it's not usually noticeable until after age 60. The most extreme form of memory loss and mental confusion, Alzheimer's disease, affects four and a half million Americans.
What do doctors prescribe?
Aricept (donepezil) belongs to a class of drugs known as cholinesterase inhibitors; it helps memory by promoting communication among nerve cells in the brain. "With cholinesterase inhibitors, the most common side effects are nausea, upset stomach, and diarrhea," points out Daniel Kaufer, MD, director of the Memory and Cognitive Disorders Clinic at the University of North Carolina.
What's a natural alternative?
"Chinese club moss has been used in China as a folk remedy to enhance mental abilities," notes Dr. Kaufer, and "there have been a few small studies showing positive effects in patients with dementia and one small study in Chinese high-school students showing that they may have had benefit in doing their homework." The National Institute of Aging funded a new national clinical trial, led by Dr. Kaufer, to test just how well Chinese club moss (also known as huperzine A) preserves mental function in older adults with dementia. Results from this study aren't quite in yet, although Dr. Kaufer shares that "huperzine A seems to be generally well-tolerated and that some subjects seem to be doing better on it." Huperzine A from Chinese club moss acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor; most studies have used 100 to 200 mcg taken several times a day.
