"Pound for pound, the greatest player ever," Lebron James said of A-I.
The Sixers open the season tonight against the Miami Heat. Prior to tonight's game, Allen Iverson will officially retire as a Sixer.
The next generation of basketball players in the NBA will be better, because of people like Allen Iverson, said his manager, Gary Moore.
"I feel proud having to say that I'm happy with my decision," Iverson told reporters. "I have to thank God for giving me the opportunity to...being drafted."
"I have to thank Michael Jordan for giving me the vision. Without that vision, it just wouldn't have been possible. He made me want to play basketball," Iverson added. "He basically showed me the way and gave me that path."
Iverson also thanked his coaches. He thanked his family, friends, and teammates.
"I will always be a Sixer til I die," Iverson said. He told reporters that he has no regrets, and he would not have changed anything if he had to go back.
Iverson took special care to emphasize the happy moments that his kids have given to him. When times where tough, seeing their faces made his day better, he told reporters.
"The passion is still there, but the desire to play is not," Iverson concluded.
Iverson then fielded questions from reporters.
One reporter asked about Iverson's plans after retirement. Iverson said it's very easy to answer. Playing professionally meant that he could not be with his kids much. Now, he can be with his kids. "24 hour dad."
"It's catch up time."
Another reporter then asked Iverson when he decided to retire.
"It wasn't just one day," Iverson answered. "I was just mentally tired. The passion to play just wasn't there. I just felt like it was time."
"I don't want basketball to be the rest of my life. It's a different part of my life now."
Another reporter asked Iverson how he thinks he compares to other great players.
"I look at how you rank people," Iverson respond. "I look at the people in the media doing the ranking, and I'm like, 'who are these people doing the ranking?'" Iverson said that he only cares about what the great players say about him. "I let people that love basketball decide that."
When asked what he would say to people who want to be like him.
"I want them to be better than me," Iverson said.
When asked if there was one player who helped him the most, Iverson broke down crying.
"Aaron McKie," he said. "He was my teammate and friend...helped me with a lot of personal issues I had."
Iverson told reporters that he's made a million mistakes in his career, but if it weren't for Aaron McKie, it would have been two million.
Love him or hate him, there is no debate that A-I was one of the most exciting and talked about athletes to ever come through Philadelphia.
In honor of Allen's big night, FOX 29's Colleen Wolfe was on Good Day to take a look at her top three Allen Iverson moments.
It wasn't easy narrowing the list down to the top three A-I moments, Colleen told Good Day.
The number three moment on Colleen's list happened during Allen's rookie season 1996-97 against Michael Jordan and The Chicago Bulls. The number two moment happened during practice. And the number one moment? Iverson's shot over Tyron Lue when the Sixers played the Lakers.
Watch the Good Day segment above to see the full list and re-watch those defining moments that Colleen mentioned.
Iverson is giving a press conference right now. Watch the press conference here:

The pastoral outreach director for Minnesota for Marriage, a group supporting the proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage as solely between a man and a woman, is apologizing for linking support for gay marriage to oppression in Nazi Germany.
Pastor Brad Brandon was confronted about his statements at a forum in Brainerd last week over an analogy he made about Hitler's attempts to suppress religious freedom, telling several small groups that gay marriage supporters were using similar techniques.
Brandon seemed to claim that critics of gay marriage would be silenced, saying, "[Hitler] removed their voices in the public square and removed their control of their own businesses. So, he stopped Jewish people from speaking out in public and he silenced them."
The controversial remarks were made during a 40-minute Power Point presentation intended to sway voters to support the marriage amendment, but Brandon got off to a bumpy start.
"In this, we're not saying that one side or the another is equal to Adolf Hitler and the atrocities that were committed in Nazi Germany," he said before he was interrupted by one of several audience members.
Many of the irked audience members said they were told the presentation would be a bipartisan discussion. One woman whose grandparents survived the Holocaust took particular exception to the comparison, and she didn't hold back.
"...That you not belittle the death of 6 million Jews by putting Adolf Hitler's picture and saying he took people's civil rights," she said. "No -- he was an insane murderer."
The debate over the marriage amendment has certainly been emotional so far, with both sides arguing their convictions with passion -- but Rabbi Marcia Zimmerman, of Temple Israel in Minneapolis, said what happened at the voter information forum crossed the line.
"Once you use something such as Hitler and the Holocaust, you end any kind of civil discourse," he said.
A spokeswoman for Minnesota for Marriage said the reference was taken out of context or misunderstood, explaining that Brandon was trying to say that critics of gay marriage could be silenced if the amendment fails.
"He's apologized and he's apologized on behalf of the campaign. His point was absolutely correct; he was just using a poor analogy and an incorrect choice of words to make his religious liberties point," Autumn Leva said. "He's been instructed to no longer compare the loss of religious freedoms to Hitler and Nazi Germany."
Deputy Campaign Manager Andy Parrish had previously claimed Brandon's remarks were not sanctioned by the campaign and that he's been instructed to get back on message; however, the Star Tribune reported that Brandon made a similar pitch at a public seminar in Woodbury where at least two other Minnesota for Marriage staffers were present.
FOX 9 News also learned that a presentation in Bemidji also contained similar rhetoric, and Minnesota for Marriage's communications director was at the first event when the comparison was made.
"This wasn't an accident," argued Pastor Grant Stevensen, a faith director for Minnesotans United for All Families. "It wasn't a slip off the track. It was dead core to the center of the message they were trying to convey to the people who had gathered at this event."
These aren't the first controversial comments Brandon has made either. He is widely quoted as saying that homosexuals teach children to masturbate.

'Marvel Universe' MMO Coming to PC, ConsolesFollowing yesterday's surprise revelation of a ten-year MMO licensing agreement between comic publisher Marvel and relatively unknown game publisher Gazillion, the two companies have announced the first two MMOs to be made under the deal.
The first game, Marvel Super Hero Squad, is a casual MMO aimed at younger folk.
The second, Marvel Universe, is in development for PC and consoles. Gazillion will develop and publish the game, with more details to arrive in the coming months.
City of Heroes developer Cryptic Studios previously worked on an MMO titled Marvel Universe Online, though it was later cancelled due to World of Warcraft-related fears.
According to today's announcement, Gazillion has been "operating in stealth mode" under the name NR2B Research. The publisher has four wholly-owned MMO development studios: Amazing Society (Super Hero Squad), Gargantuan (Marvel Universe), NetDevil (LEGO Universe, Jumpgate Evolution), and id co-founder John Romero's Slipgate studio, which is working on an original MMO.

NV Warre's Warrior Porto "Reserve" - I picked up a bottle at the local BevMo for $15 and opened it. If you told me this was cheap Aussie shiraz spiked with sugar and alcohol, I would believe you. I finished my glass, but this was not enjoyable. I'd much rather be drinking Aussie tawny ports at the same price.

An ITB friend says that if you go far enough back, Mouton Cadet was actually half decent, ditto Harvey's Bristol Cream / Bristol Milk (the latter I can vouch for as he had some from 1950s which was really complex & interesting). I suspect Mouton Cdet has been rubbish for 20-30 years at least.

However, I do remember the wine that opened my eyes to the world and definitely intrigued me to learn more.
Concha y Toro Casillero Del Diablo Carmenere (don't recall the year, but didn't have it until roughly six years ago) is the first bottle that opened my eyes to a new world. While I was exposed to wine growing up and learned to appreciate a good glass every now and then this bottle was the first I truly enjoyed. I wish my appreciation of wine would have happened earlier because then I would have really relished the trip our family took to a Sancerre winery when we were in Europe many moons ago. The parents enjoyed it; and my best friend and I were both 21, but we really didn't understand what we were actually getting to experience.

My first Piesporter, so I didn't know what to expect really. The wine is patently well made in the sense that it was in no way offensive, but it had absolutely no character nor even any definable aspects to it. Smooth and semi-sweet, this really did not have any notable characteristics at all. I hope they're not all like this.
Yeah, I once drunk something like that! Wonder if Bristol Cream is over here?

I remember this one and the stuff served in a blue bottle! When I was dating Jessica of Ealing, her dad who ran a pub used to sell this at weddings catered in the pub.
Today, no real nose to speak of, palate has hints of sweetness but no recognisable quality. I served real chilled to staff at the Grill who thought I had lost it! Heck, its only $12.

I grew up watching marathons. Chicago, Boston, New York, Arizona. I've been dragged from viewing point to viewing point for as long as I can remember.
For me, marathon day once meant spending the day with one of my fathers friends wearing a shirt that said "go daddy" across the front and waiting impatiently for the moment when my dad would run by, give me a sweaty hug and kiss, and continue running.
Later, my adolescent-self cringed in embarrassment when my dad would make me run across the finish line with him.
My marathon experiences these days are usually very different.
Nowadays the day usually consists of 'mani-pedis' in the morning followed by a hurried lunch and frantic rushing to the finish line just in time to see my dad cross and receive his medal.
This Monday in Boston, my step mom and two sisters munched on room service before heading to the nail salon. While sitting in pedicure chairs getting our feet massaged we joked about feeling sympathy pain for my father, who according to the Boston marathon text updates, was running his 25th Boston marathon at an unusually slow pace.
To us, this meant we wouldn't have to be done with lunch until after 2. Eventually we made our way to the course, and about 2:15 we easily found a place to watch a few hundred yards from the finish line in front of our hotel on Boylston street.
Although marathons have always been to me just "my dads thing", this time I was struck by my the experience. Cheering on the runners so close to the finish line for the first time with my little sisters (age 1 and 3) seemed to me more meaningful than many of my past experiences.
I climbed on the metal railing so I could see if I could spot my dad approaching. All the while we continued to joke about his slow race time and when we finally saw him approaching us it was about 2:40.
He stopped, gave us hugs, explained that his speed was due to tightness in his legs, snapped a few pics and continued to run towards the big finish.
A few minutes later we were mosying our way to the finish line to meet him when we heard a huge explosion.
There was a big burst of smoke and everything and everyone seemed to stop, wondering what had happened.
My first thoughts were that there was a flare or fireworks at the finish line. Before anyone had time to think, 10-seconds had passed and another blast occurred.
This time it was closer to us and caused instant panic all around. Directly across the street from the nearest explosion we didn't know what to expect next. First instinct was to press our bodies against the rivets in the building to find some shelter.
This wasn't very helpful and left me feeling more like an ant trapped in a box of buildings with no escape.
Second instinct was to run. Everyone around me was hysterical and panicking and no one knew what had happened, what was going to happen, or where to go for safety.
I was pushing my 3-year-old sister's stroller and not knowing what had happened to my father who had just finished the race moments before, I pushed my way into the building followed shortly by the rest of my family.
Everyone was hysterical and no one knew what was going on or if there were going to be more explosions.
We just knew that we wanted to take shelter, yet no where around us seemed safe.
We ran up a flight of stairs in the hotel and exited into a plaza where we stopped to collect ourselves.
In those moments I stopped and thought to myself "please let the explosions be over."
Seconds later, I received a text from a random number saying "Scott ok go back to hotel stay there." I texted back immediately, "is he ok did you see him?" and the person answered positively.
Little did my father know that our hotel was right across from the second explosion and was being evacuated.
We had to keep moving and we left the park area and ran through the Prudential building to get as far away from Boylston as possible.
Finally I received a text from my father and told him where we were and he began making his way to us. An hour after the first blast we were all finally reunited.

Mulligan, who would have turned 80 today, starred in a couple of our very favorite TV shows. One, the show that gave him his big TV break, was Soap. Playing Sheriff Burt Campbell – and his alien double – Mulligan won an Emmy Award.
Mulligan won another Emmy – as well as a Golden Globe – for his next TV series. Empty Nest was a spinoff of The Golden Girls, but it didn't rely on its sister show; it stood on its own two feet for seven seasons.
Mulligan's TV series were huge hits, but they weren't the only notable things he did. We also loved his 1986 appearance on The Twilight Zone, in which he reprised a role originated by Art Carney in 1959.
Mulligan shone on the big screen, too – as when he played General Custer in Little Big Man.
General or doctor, alien or Santa, Richard Mulligan always nailed his roles.

NEWARK, New Jersey (Reuters) - Rutgers University introduced Eddie Jordan, a star player on its 1976 Final Four team, as the new head basketball coach on Tuesday and said he would restore an atmosphere of respect to the program.
Jordan, who had been a Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach since last year, replaces former head coach Mike Rice, who was fired by Rutgers earlier in April after ESPN aired footage of him screaming homophobic epithets at players, hurling basketballs at them and shoving and kicking them.
Jordan, a former head coach for three National Basketball Association franchises including the Washington Wizards, said he was honored to become the caretaker of the Scarlet Knights basketball program.
"We've all come to a point that we have to regain our pride and our dignity and our integrity to our university," he told a news conference.
The scandal has also led to the resignation of former athletic director Tim Pernetti and damaged the reputation of New Jersey's largest public university system, which in December agreed to join the Big Ten athletic conference.
Rutgers President Robert Barchi, who has been under fire for his handling of the scandal, said Jordan would help restore an "atmosphere of respect and dignity" to the program.
"I know he's the right leader at a pivotal moment for our basketball program," Barchi told a news conference at the school's College Avenue Gym in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Jordan agreed to a five-year deal worth $6.25 million in guaranteed money, the school said in a statement.
Jordan, known as "Fast Eddie," is the school's all-time leader in both assists (585) and steals (220). While playing for the New Jersey Nets, Jordan led the NBA in total steals in 1978-1979.

The college football commissioners who have put together the Playoff system that begins in 2014 have decided that they will not serve on the board that will choose the teams that get into the playoffs each season. They are suggesting the possibility of using active athletic directors and so Barry Alvarez was asked if he would be interested.
He said that he would have to seriously think about it but there are alot of negatives about the job. The time commitment would be enormous and he suggested that you might have to take a leave of absence to do the job justice. He also said that many AD's dont want the job because of the abuse you would take from the fans of teams that dont get in. The Florida AD has already said he's not interested for that reason.
The commissoners would like the committee to have geographic balance and each conference will soon submit candidates to be considered. From there 12-20 will be selected

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cai Cai Sambas are Super I have been wearing Sambas ever since I was a little girl. I have them for a couple of years until I wear them out and then I buy a new pair. These are my favorite shoes of all time and always will be. My future children will be wearing Sambas from babies on up. Soccer players should wear Sambas, if they really know what they are doing.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Scrmom Best For Turf This is my son's second pair of Sambas and he loves them to death!!! Growing up playing soccer I wore Sambas all year round.

Drug Name Confusion: Preventing Medication Errors
By Carol Rados
An 8-year-old died, it was suspected, after receiving methadone instead of methylphenidate, a drug used to treat attention deficit disorders. A 19-year-old man showed signs of potentially fatal complications after he was given clozapine instead of olanzapine, two drugs used to treat schizophrenia. And a 50-year-old woman was hospitalized after taking Flomax, used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, instead of Volmax, used to relieve bronchospasm.
In each of these cases reported to the Food and Drug Administration, the names of the dispensed drugs looked or sounded like those that were prescribed. There have been others: Serzone, an antidepressant, for Seroquel, used to treat schizophrenia, and iodine for Lodine, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
Adverse events that can occur when drugs are dispensed as the wrong medications underscore the need for clear interpretation and better communication between the doctors who write prescriptions and the pharmacists who fill them. The FDA says that about 10 percent of all medication errors reported result from drug name confusion.
"These errors are not usually due to incompetence," says Carol A. Holquist, R.Ph., director of the Division of Medication Errors and Technical Support in the FDA's Office of Drug Safety. "But they are so underreported because people are afraid of the blame." Errors occur at all levels of the medication-use system, from prescribing to dispensing, Holquist says, which is why those people who receive the prescriptions must take action, too. "Everybody has a role in minimizing medication errors," she says.
Medication errors can occur between brand names, generic names, and brand-to-generic names like Toradol and tramadol. But sometimes, medication errors involve more than just name similarities. Abbreviations, acronyms, dose designations, and other symbols used in medication prescribing also have the potential for causing problems.
For example, the abbreviation "D/C" means both "discharge" and "discontinue." The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCCMERP) notes that patients' medications have been stopped prematurely when D/C--intended to mean discharge--was misinterpreted as discontinue because it was followed by a list of drugs.
Illegible handwriting, unfamiliarity with drug names, newly available products, similar packaging or labeling, and incorrect selection of a similar name from a computerized product list, all compound the problem. And, although some drug names and symbols may not necessarily sound alike or look alike, they could cause confusion in prescribing errors when handwritten or communicated verbally, according to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
For example, Holquist says that several errors have occurred involving mix-ups with the oral diabetes drug Avandia and the anticoagulant Coumadin. Although they don't look similar when typed or printed, the names have been confused with each other when poorly written in cursive. The first "A" in Avandia, if not fully formed, can look like a "C," and the final "a" has appeared to be an "n."
Names are part of developing a new drug. And coming up with a catchy, snappy moniker that distinguishes one drug from another isn't easy. For the most part, drug companies want a name that will boost sales, while consumers long for some indication from the name of what the drug does. The FDA, however, won't allow names that imply medical claims, suggest a use for which a drug isn't approved, or promise more than they can deliver.
Naming a drug can be as complicated as creating a rhythmic cacophony of unpronounceable syllables and emphatic-sounding letters, such as C and P. Other naming strategies include letters that when strung together sound like something high-tech--think Zyprexa, Lexapro, and Xanax.
But whether it's the sound of certain letters that manufacturers like, or the vision that a name conjures up, the FDA says that selection must take into account concerns for reducing errors and for avoiding trademark infringement.
Because of today's tough trademark requirements, many drug companies are turning to a growing industry of "naming" consultants for the task. These consultants are charged with creating a unique name that will appeal to both doctors and patients, particularly given the recent surge in direct-to-consumer advertising.

Area plans are documents prepared by the City-County Planning Board staff that analyze the existing characteristics, trends, problems and opportunities of specific areas of the city and county. With the assistance of local citizens, recommendations for future land use, zoning changes, and transportation and public facility improvements are formulated. While area plans do not change zoning in the area, they do serve as guides for the Planning Board and elected officials to use when making zoning and other planning decisions.
Upon adoption, each area plan becomes part of the comprehensive plan. While the area plan program seeks extensive involvement on the part of residents, property owners, and investors, the Planning Board has the responsibility to assure that each plan is consistent with the broad public interest and other elements of Legacy 2030. For more information on the area plan process, please see the links below to area plan information handouts.

So much for the latest crime-fighting strategy out of 1300 Beaubien.
With murder and gunplay spiraling out of control, Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee put into effect on Monday his latest plan to attack the city's crime problem.
Operation Inside Out: Night Angels requires officers assigned to desk jobs to put in eight hours on street patrol each week. Chief Godbee said that would put 40 to 50 extra officers on the streets in crime hotspots throughout the city.
It's a clever name but do we really expect officers fossilized by a decade on the desk to stop violent crime?
Consider this: On Monday evening, the chief conducted roll call in the parking lot of Citi Trends, a store selling knick-knacks and cheap clothing at the corner of Gratiot and Seven Mile Road. It was the kickoff of Inside Out. The media was not invited but I am told other police brass were assembled, a mobile mini-station and 60 or so cops standing in the lot as a show of force.
"It was supposed to be our Ground Zero," a cop told me. "We're taking the streets back starting with that parking lot."
But the next day at high noon -- broad daylight -- a man entered Citi Trends, stuck a pistol in the face of the manager and robbed the joint. He ran off with an undetermined amount of cash and remains at large. The event was not chronicled on the city's new police blotter.
The store quickly took matters into its own hands. An armed security guard now patrols the aisles.
"The crime's just out of hand," said Candi, the manager robbed at gunpoint. "It's only going to get worse as long as they know they can get away with it."
Candi is thinking about moving out of the city.
The last time I heard of anything so absurd was two years ago when then-Police Chief James Barren had been fired. The day he was cleaning out his desk, a burglar was cleaning out his house. Back then, homicides were on track to top 450 per year.
Warren Evans was called in as top cop. He took a no-nonsense approach. He tracked parolees. He convened a special unit -- the Mobile Strike Force -- to roam the streets, stop motorists and search for guns. Homicides dropped 25 percent in a year, a national record. But complaints against police grew. Then seven-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones died in a police raid, a case that is still pending. Evans was dismissed and Godbee promoted.
Godbee is a good, dedicated cop. He's taken a community-oriented approach to policing and called off the dogs. The Mobile Strike Force is a memory. The gang squad and narcotics units are a shell of their former selves. There is no vice squad. Complaints against police have dropped but violent crime has surged. In a single week last month, there were 50 shootings, resulting in nine homicides. Homicide is now on track to top levels not seen in at least a decade.
Part of the problem is police strategy. Part of it is an underclass of thuggery that is not invested in society. But part of the problem is money.
Today Godbee has fewer cops and a smaller budget than Evans. He is forced to try stunts like Inside Out. Cuts to the Michigan Department of Corrections has resulted in 40 percent of the parolees and probationers in Detroit having absconded, according to a study by David Martin, a Wayne State University criminologist.
Crime, it cannot be argued, is the number one problem here. If we are really going to save the city, really make Detroit work, keep people like Candi here, we're going to have to pay for it.
Just look at England. London cut its police force and London is burning. Imagine what things could look like here.

I'm one of those guys who checks the nutritional value on almost everything that claims to be "healthy" in the stores. I usually check calorie count, and the protien-to-carb ratio (I've always heard that a 1 gram of protien to 10 calories is good.)
Naked Juice is a product that I have bought probably 2 or 3 times since 2007. It certainly grabbed my attention at first in the stores and I tried it, despite that fact that it was high in calories/sugar.
It actually tasted pretty good, and the labels certainly make you THINK it's a "super-food" which makes it appealing...at least to a guy like me.
Here is a link to an article that I found that says a class-action lawsuit was filed and that ANYONE who has bought this product since 2007 might be able to get $45 from PepsiCo (Naked Juice's parent company.)
(CLICK HERE for story from Undergroundhealth.com )
I'm always skeptical about things like this and since I only bought 2 or 3 of these, I don't feel like I really deserve the $45, it might be worth the effort(??)
The real lesson is, don't be duped by the FRONT of the label of some of these products that claim to be healthy, make sure you check the BACK before you decide to make the purchase!

Police say the man was chasing his girlfriend in another car down Hurlbut Street around 2:30am Sunday morning. It appears the girlfriend lost control of her vehicle and drove her car through the guardrail and onto Interstate 94. The collision ripped off the roof off a silver truck driving in the center lane. All three people inside the truck died. A passenger in the girlfriend's car was also killed.
Police tell Fox 2 the boyfriend drove off and transported his passenger to Detroit Receiving Hospital before returning to the scene. He is now in police custody. The girlfriend who was running from him in the first place is in critical condition.
Charges are pending in the case. Stay with Fox 2 and myfoxdetroit.com for updates.

Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic covers depression in adults. For information on:
What is depression?
Depression is an illness that causes you to feel sad, to lose interest in activities that you've always enjoyed, to withdraw from others, and to have little energy. It's different from normal feelings of sadness, grief, or low energy. Depression can also cause people to feel hopeless about the future and even to think about suicide.
Many people, and sometimes their families, feel embarrassed or ashamed about having depression. Don't let these feelings stand in the way of getting treatment. Remember that depression is a common illness. Depression affects the young and old, men and women, all ethnic groups, and all professions.
If you think you may be depressed, tell your doctor. Treatment can help you enjoy life again. The sooner you get treatment, the sooner you will feel better.
What causes depression?
Depression is a disease. It's not caused by personal weakness and is not a character flaw. When you have depression, chemicals in your brain called neurotransmitters are out of balance.
Most experts believe a combination of family history (your genes) and stressful life events may cause depression. Life events can include:
Just because you have a family member with depression or have stressful life events doesn't mean you'll get depression.
You also may get depressed even if there is no reason you can think of.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of depression may be hard to notice at first. They vary among people, and you may confuse them with just feeling "off" or with another health problem.
The two most common symptoms of depression are:
A serious symptom of depression is thinking about death or suicide. If you or someone you care about talks about this or feeling hopeless, get help right away.
You also may:
If you have some of these symptoms for at least 2 weeks, talk to your doctor. Treatment may be right for you.
If you think you may have depression, take a short quiz to check your symptoms:
How is it treated?
Depression can be treated in various ways. Counseling, psychotherapy, and/or antidepressant medicines are all used. Lifestyle changes, such as getting more exercise, also may help. Your doctor or mental health professional will help you find the best treatment.
If you have mild or moderate depression, your family doctor or a mental health professional, such as a counselor or psychologist, may treat you. If you have severe depression or if treatment is not helping, you may need to see a psychiatrist. Some people need to be treated in the hospital, especially if they have thoughts of suicide.
Work with your health care team to find the best treatment for you. It may take a few tries, and it can take several weeks for the medicine to start working. Try to be patient and keep following your treatment plan.
Depression can return (relapse). How likely you are to get depression again increases each time you have a bout of depression. Taking your medicines and continuing some types of therapy after you feel better can help keep that from happening. Some people need to take medicine for the rest of their lives. This does not stop them from living full and happy lives.
Let your doctor know if you think you are depressed. Depression is easy to overlook. The earlier you are treated, the more quickly you will get better.
What can you do if a loved one has depression?
If someone you care for is depressed, the best thing you can do is help the person get or stay in treatment. Learn about the disease. Talk to the person and gently encourage him or her to do things and see people. Don't get upset with the person. The behavior you see is the disease, not the person.
Is suicide a concern?
Many people who have depression have thoughts of death or thoughts of suicide, and depression can lead to suicide. Warning signs of suicide include talking a lot about death, giving things away, or using a lot of alcohol or drugs or both. If you see these signs in yourself or a loved one, get help.
If a suicide threat seems real, call

The Office of Public Safety works closely with the Office of Student Life to promote awareness about rape and sexual assault. Victims of sexual assault are urged to report the incident to the Office of Student Life or the Office of Public Safety as soon as possible, even if the offence took place off-campus and whether or not the offender is known to the victim. The Office of Student Life and the Office of Public Safety will work closely with the victim to ensure medical care and counseling is made available, and will assist the victim in notifying off-campus law enforcement if desired. Victims of sexual assaults are not required to file criminal charges.
The Office of Student Life can present the victim of sexual assault with a full range of options and services available so the victim can choose the most appropriate course of action. Options available to a student victim include on and off-campus counseling services, relocation of on-campus living arrangments and changes in one's academic class schedule, if the victim wishes and such changes are reasonably available.
Sex Offender Registry Access
The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a state to provide notice of each institution of higher education in that state at which the person is employed, or is enrolled as a student. The Florida Legislature has passed legislation making several changes to the state's sexual predator and sex offender laws to make them conform to the Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act. State and Federal legislation require local law enforcement agencies to notify institutions of higher education when a sex offender registers as being employed by or enrolled as a student in that institution.
The web site address for sexual predators registered with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is: http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender
All notifications of sexual predators or sex offenders employed by or enrolled as a student at Ringling College of Art and Design provided by state and/or local law enforcement officials will be retained in the Office of Public Safety and will be made available for viewing on request. The Director of Public Safety will notify the proper college administrators (President, Vice Presidents, Director of Human Resources and Dean of Students) when any such notification is received. For more information please contact Rick Tubbs, Director of Public Safety.

Two East Texas women have been arrested for plotting to kill a police officer.
According to Harrison County Sheriff's Office, Amanda Smith and Sydney Brook Sides were arrested and charged with solicitation to commit capital murder of a peace officer.
Court documents show that a Hallsville police officer contacted the Texas Rangers after learning that his co-worker's estranged and soon-to-be ex-wife, 24-year-old Amanda Smith, had met with a confidential informant and requested that he kill her husband. Official records show Sydney Sides, a friend of Amanda's was present during the planning meetings for the murder.
The documents go on to say that Amanda Smith provided detailed information about her husband, his position at the Hallsville Police Department, the vehicles he drove and where he was living with his new girlfriend. According to an affidavit, Amanda provided the confidential informant with $150.00 cash "to purchase supplies for the CI to commit the criminal homicide." The affidavit goes on to say that Amanda told the confidential informant that they would receive $5,000 for completing the capital murder when Amanda received her "expected life insurance proceeds."
According to the affidavit, on Monday, May 6, the confidential informant contacted the Hallsville Police Department about Smith and Sides' plans. That same day, the Hallsville Police Department contacted Texas Ranger Brent Davis.
The affidavit goes on to say, on Wednesday, May 8, Ranger Davis arranged a meeting between the confidential informant, an undercover Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigation Agent, Amanda Smith and Sydney Sides. During the meeting, Smith told the undercover agent that she needed her husband killed before the divorce was finalized on May 14, 2013. The affidavit says, "[Amanda stated] that it should take approximately 30 days for her to receive the insurance money proceeds," and would give the undercover agent $5,000 for having her husband killed.
The affidavit says Amanda Smith and Sydney Sides took the undercover agent and the confidential informant on a drive and showed them the approximate location of her husband's new residence in Hallsville.
On May 9, Smith provided the agent and confidential informant a photograph of her husband. "Amanda Smith stated she did not want to pawn any items with the fear that law enforcement would tie her to the murder." According to the affidavit, the undercover agent gave Amanda the opportunity to back out of the plan to have the capital murder of her husband carried out but, she "stated that she wanted to continue with the plan."
According to court records, Amanda's husband filed for divorce in March. The divorce was finalized on in a Gregg County courtroom on the morning of May 14. According to the original divorce petition, the couple married in November 2010 and separated in January 2013.
Bonds for Smith and Sides have been set at $200,000 each.

text: Had a great time with my family a couple of weeks ago boating on the Mississippi River near Wabasha Minnesota. Temps were in the low 80's with plenty of sunshine and a bit windy. In fact the wind churned up the river quite a bit and made for a bumpy ride at times. So bumpy, that half-way through our trip I realized that my life preserver had blown out of the boat! Lost somewhere downstream a couple of miles. Wasn't really worth our time to try and find it because it was pretty old anyway and needed to be tossed. So now I get a trip to the boating store to drop $50 on a new one. Boating tip: when traveling in windy conditions on the water, make sure everything is secured and tied down. (You'd think I would know this, since I've been boating for over 40 years. So I can't chalk this up as a rookie mistake).

I'm Sarah from Sweet Dreams by Sarah, and I am incredibly excited to be sharing my first Moda Bake Shop tutorial with you for this fun steering wheel cover! I live in the insanely hot Arizona desert, and there are frequently times in the summer when it's impossible to grab the steering wheel.
This cover serves to help keep that problem at bay, as well as making it much easier for those winter months when clutching a freezing cold steering wheel can make your hands ache. It's also completely customizable, since it's perfect for any set of charms you might have lying around! It makes a lovely gift, too.
Please also stop by my blog for other tutorials and adventures in quilting!
10 Charms of your choosing (I used Flirt by Sandy Gervais for Moda)
1 piece of backing fabric measuring approx. 48" by 5"
1 piece of Insul Bright Heat Resistant Batting measuring approx. 46" by 3.5" (Side note: if you aren't worried about your steering wheel being too hot, and you just want it to be padded, you could use regular cotton batting in place of the Insul Bright)
2 lengths of elastic, measuring approx. 32"
4 safety pins, no bigger than about 1" long.
Optional, but helpful: Basting spray
The first step is to measure your steering wheel! The measurements that I will be working with are for my 14.5" steering wheel, which is a pretty standard size. If your wheel is a different size, your first step is going to be to measure around the circumference of the outside of the wheel. For me, this measurement is 46", and it will be come the length that you will need both the piece of backing fabric to be as well as the piece of batting. Also, take this measurement and subtract 14" - this is the length that you will need your lengths of elastic to be. If your wheel measures more than 46" around, you may also need to add one more charm to the first step below - see the note in that step for help with the modification.
Now that we know what we're working with, it's time to dive into the fabric. Pull out your charms, and line them up. Arrange them in the order in which you want to see them going around your wheel, and remember that this is going to be a circle - the first and last ones are going to connect to each other.
Sew the charms end to end with a scant quarter inch seam, and press the seams to one side until you have one long strip:
*Side note for larger sizes: You'll want to sew extra charms end to end here, so that you have a longer strip of fabric to work with. For instance, upping it to 11 charms yields a strip about 50" long. You can then trim it down if, say, your circumference is only 48". Just be careful not to trim it too short - the elastic makes having a slightly bigger wheel cover very forgiving.
Prepare your backing fabric next! There are lots of options as to how to do this. You could actually use another 10 charms, if you want it to be reversible (see side note above if you have a larger steering wheel). Just follow the steps above to connect them all together. You could also cut two 5" strips from yardage, sew them together end to end, and then cut down to length. The first time I made this, I actually used a scrap piece of quilt backing that I had trimmed off of a quilt I'd made just the week before, so feel free to be creative! This is just the backing, so if you aren't worried about making it reversible, you can use just about any piece of fabric that meets the measurements. For this particular cover, I used one 5" strip of backing fabric, and sewed one extra charm to the end to get the right length. Note that the length of the backing is a couple of inches longer than the strip of charms - this gives you a little wiggle room to cover up the final seam.
|The strip of charms for the outside is on the left, and the backing is on the right.
Putting it all together:
Position your backing fabric and the strip of charms right sides together, and making sure that the edges are aligned. Pin these pieces, and then sew them together lengthwise:
Now we need to turn the long tube we just created inside out, and get the batting in the middle. There are a couple of ways that you can do this. One option is to turn it inside out, press it flat, and then try to wiggle the batting up the middle. You would then just pin the batting in place before moving on to the next step.
The other way to do it, and how I did it when making this particular cover, is to use some basting spray as a helping hand. Once you've sewn the cover and backing together, and before you turn it inside out, spray baste the batting to the charm side of the strip, like this:
Spray the batting, and lay it down the center (you can just eyeball it). Make sure you press the batting on well, and then go ahead and turn it inside out. Be gentle so that you don't separate the batting from the fabric.
|Ta da!
Now, whichever way you've gotten your tube inside out and batting inside, it's time to make the casings for the elastic. Sew down the length of the tube again, this time about 1/2 inch from the already sewn edge.
You can go ahead and remove all of those pins now (if you were using them), and grab your lengths of elastic. Use one safety pin to attach one end of the elastic to one end of the tube. Take the other safety pin and attach to the other end of the elastic, since we're going to use that as a bit of a shuttle to take it through the casing.
Work that safety pin up the casing, bringing the elastic along. This will get a little tougher as you get to the end. Once you've got it through the other side, it's time to stitch it in place. Be careful here, because that elastic already has some tension on it, and you don't want to send it careening back into the casing! Remove the safety pin, and holding the elastic and casing together, ease the elastic back to where it just lines up with the edge of the casing. Use the safety pin to secure this:
|Note: Definitely use a safety pin for this part - a straight pin has a way of popping itself out when under the pressure of the elastic!
Then sew down the elastic, using a few passes on your machine:
The final step is to get this into an actual circular shape! Just position the strip right sides together, so that you can sew the ends together. That elastic will make this a bit squirrely, so pin it to keep it all together as you sew.
See that extra couple of inches of backing fabric sticking out there? If you aren't worried about this final seam being finished off, you could just snip it off, and be done. For a cleaner finish, carefully fold up that extra bit of fabric to cover up the seam you just made.
Pop it inside out, and voila! Your cover is done! It doesn't look like much now...
One awesome steering wheel cover, and two fewer burnt hands! These are so fun and easy to sew up, that you could easily make a couple different ones to "decorate" your car depending on your mood or the season. I see myself making a holiday themed one, to get me in a cooler frame of mind very soon!

The Middle East Point of View issue #2
Offering insights into the region's hot issues
Thought Leadership: the neglected essence of Islamic Finance
Have Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) around the world, including the Gulf region, been so busy structuring products and services that they have overlooked the importance of communicating the essence of Islamic Finance?
The long unwinding road
In the decade prior to the current economic crisis, there was strong consumer spending growth in the United States as well as in smaller economies such as the United Kingdom, Spain and Ireland.
Tourism, Hospitality & Leisure in the Middle East: ready to move to the next level
With world-class infrastructure and facilities and an excellent geographic location on the world stage, the Middle East is expected to emerge as one of the world's most competitive landscapes offering value tourism and conference experiences to a worldwide customer base.
IFRS: the ultimate choice of the accounting world or will the "IASB" march to a different drummer?
While the accounting world may have reason enough to rejoice at the prospect of finally being able to sing the "one world, one music" accounting standards tune, there are some who still have doubts about the commitment of the U.S. to allow that to happen soon.
Market efficiency in the Gulf
How do the GCC markets compare with more developed economies in terms of market efficiency? Not too well, according to this author, though recent developments have been encouraging.
Have governments been quicker than corporations to advance talented women?
Only 28% of the adult female population in the Middle East is economically active, the lowest rate in the world. While this statistic is consternating, in nearly all Middle Eastern countries, women today are better represented and are beginning to play a more prominent role in the workplace than was the case in the year 2000.
Trends in government services in the GCC countries
In recent years, governments in the Gulf cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait) embarked on a large number of initiatives to enhance government services to citizens, residents and businesses both at the national level and at the GCC level.
An introduction to VAT
Since the early 1990s VAT has been adopted by various countries as an efficient alternative revenue source. But there are those who are still holding out.
The time to change is now: enhancing HR service delivery across the Middle East
Human Resource functions in companies across the Middle East have reached a point of no return. The pressure to change has become too great for HR and business leaders to neglect.
Protecting what matters
The world contains a vast amount of digital information which is diverse, complex and most importantly, continuing to grow at an exponential rate. Although this new information superhighway allows us to make gains in all sectors, it also creates a host of problems, not least of which is data protection.
