Philip Seymour Hoffman will be on the big screen during the Toronto International Film Festival, but it won't be in writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson's highly anticipated film,"The Master," that's said to be a thinly veiled look at Scientology.
Rather, Hoffman will be seen in Toronto in "A Late Quartet" from writer-director-producer Yaron Zilberman. The film, which will have its world premiere at the fest, features Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener and Mark Ivanir as members of a renowned string quartet whose fate hangs in the balance when one of its own is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
The film is Zilberman's first fictional feature film. He previously directed the documentary "Watermarks," about the Jewish women's swim team from Austria in the 1930s.
It's not the first time a high-profile Anderson flick has skipped Toronto and gone on to award-season glory. Back in 2007, "There Will Be Blood" had no presence at the festival. Rather, clips were shown at the Telluride Film Festival around Labor Day, and the film premiered at Alamo Drafthouse's Fantastic Fest in late September. "There Will Be Blood" went on to be nominated for the best picture Academy Award, and it took home Oscars for Daniel Day-Lewis (lead actor) and cinematography.
Many are speculating that Anderson will return to the Fantastic Fest with "The Master," even though his 1950s-set film about a cult leader named Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman) and his relationship with an outcast (Joaquin Phoenix) seems out of place with the genre-heavy programming of the Austin, Texas, festival. The eight-day event is scheduled to begin Sept. 20. The Toronto festival runs Sept. 6-16.
The Weinstein Co., which is distributing the film, is mum for now on its festival plans, but with an Oct. 12 limited-release date, we should have answers soon.
Hoffman had two films at Toronto last year -- "Ides of March" and"Moneyball." No "Master" this year can only mean good things for Zilberman, who will have his leading man all to himself.

It's been quite a trip, this three day event. The stated goal was to inspire people to go back to the communities where we live, to do good and make changes that will improve lives. Projects, careers, passions, politics, food production, celebration and inspiration. All of those buzzwords have been bandied about, and all of them were involved, at least for me. I'm inspired to do more with my school garden program - to be more ambitious, to be more involved. In fact, I've been hit by so many lightning bolts over the past few days, that I really need to sit down and think about which ideas are practical and which may just be pipe dreams. Right now I'm thinking if I divide it into small bites, I just might be able to do all of it. At least I can try.
At the same time though, I've been hugely conflicted about the grand displays of luxury foods and the amount of "conspicuous consumption" that has gone on here. Yes, these events are fundraisers - but I'm still not exactly clear on where the money goes? Does Slow Food give out community grants? If so, where do I apply for one? If not, then what exactly is the point?
I've also been impressed - even blown away - by the amazing design and architecture on display - it's all so fantastically clever. At the same time though, I can't help but be reminded of that line from Fight Club, "How's that working out for you, being clever?" What does that really do for us all? I guess the short answer is, it does for others what it did for me. It makes us think, it stimulates us and gets us talking. And it reminds us how lucky we are to be able to enjoy something like this - a fantastical sensory overload experience with $65.00 tickets.
I think by most any measure, the event was a smashing success. The tickets sold out, everything went off as planned, and people seemed to have a great time. I'm thrilled to think that the "message" of a need for change has gone out to more people this weekend - and I hope it has a practical effect. I hope that it turns out to be more than just entertainment for a whole bunch of people who've already bought into the movement - I really, really do.
For me - though my nerves are shot and my emotions are raw - it was a great inspiration and a stimulating and encouraging experience. On an individual level, I'm really glad I came. I still have a lot of questions though, and a lot of throughts swirling around in my head about where it all goes from here. How does this movement really effect change? On a grassroots level? Or is there a need for a broader effort - with more political clout? How does Slow Food overcome the dilletante reputation, and ensure that it's activities are actually furthering the greater purpose of clean, fair and afforadable food for all? How exactly does Slow Food propose to make that happen, anyway? In order to give the organization more credibility, is it a good idea to separate the politics from the celebratory aspect, to avoid hypocrisy while still collecting a steady stream of revenue from the fancy-food loving public? Is there merit in and of itself to an outrageously sumptuous "celebration" of food - or is that just grotesquely out of touch with the real world - where people are literally starving for lack of any food to eat, much less food that is fair, clean and delicious?

Find out how the company has benefited over the last five decades by constantly transforming its production capabilities.
By Lori Leaman
"If you don't like change, you're going to like irrelevance even less!" These famous words were spoken by US Army General Eric Shinseki, and they're the inspiration behind the business philosophy of Knoxville, TN-based American Screen Art, a graphics-printing shop that has served the fleet- and beverage-graphics industries for more than 50 years. In that time, the company has undergone numerous transitions that have taught it to embrace new technologies and focus on customer satisfaction.
A history of transformation
John Bricketo, John Anderson, Mack Williams, and Dave Collins founded the company, then known as Screen Art, in 1955. The business occupied a 30,000-sq-ft facility and consisted of a handful of employees, a few one-color screen-printing presses, and a couple of diecutting presses. The shop focused on printing fleet graphics.
Engraph, a company that produced corrugated products for the beverage industry, acquired Screen Art in the mid-1960s. Engraph used lithography, roto gravure, and offset technologies to print graphics, and it purchased Screen Art to serve as its screen-printing arm.
Two decades later, Engraph sold Screen Art to Sonoco, another printing company that served the corrugated-packing industry. Sonoco formed Ariston, a sister division of Screen Art, in New Jersey. Ariston handled most of the fleet-graphics jobs, while Screen Art was responsible for the beverage-related print work. Screen Art retained several major fleet-graphics accounts for its beverage industry customers, including Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, as well as for Averitt Express.
In 1997, Sonoco sold Screen Art and Ariston to City Corp. Venture Capital and Graphic Design Technology. Five years later, the pair of companies put Screen Art and Ariston on the market. Ariston was liquidated completely, and Equity South acquired Screen Art. Within a few weeks, Screen Art was re-established as American Screen Art with the same management team and employees that started with the company in 1955 and remained loyal throughout its many transitions of ownership.

The city of Gyeongju, in South Korea's Gyeongsang Province, is best known as the former capital of the Silla dynasty. It was one of the few places that wasn't totaled in the Korean War, and retains some of the most attractive ancient buildings in the country. It's a popular destination for tourists and has been dubbed "a museum without walls."
The city's residents are hoping that history remains its calling card and that Gyeongju doesn't become better known for another, more ominous reason.
Persistently malfunctioning nuclear power facilities have some residents of Gyeongju worried the city could one day join Fukushima as a place synonymous with nuclear crisis, not least due to concerns that the government is neglecting what they consider a potentially dangerous situation.Enjoying this article?

South Korea has a somewhat peculiar stance on nuclear power: as it tries hard to export its nuclear knowhow to the Middle East, China and India, its own facilities aren't making the grade at home and its population is resisting planned expansions. This domestic resistance gained momentum after the Fukushima disaster in Japan.
Gyeongju is a hub of nuclear power in South Korea and a flashpoint for growing anti-nuclear sentiment in the country. A reactor at Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant in Gyeongju was recently shut down to avoid overheating after a component failure. The incident came just six months after it was restarted following more than two years of maintenance. The reactor's design life is up in November of this year, but the government has no plans to shut it down – indeed, it's seeking permission to extend its life an additional ten years. The Wolseong plant currently generates about 5 percent of South Korea's electricity, while nuclear power accounts for about 31 percent of electricity used in South Korea.
The Korea Federation of Environmental Movements issued a statement saying, "Until this accident, the Wolseong No. 1 reactor has recorded 51 malfunctions over 30 years due to flaws in machinery and components, including radiation leaks, coolant leaks, and reactor shutdowns."
Also in Gyeongju, a nuclear waste disposal facility has repeatedly had its completion date pushed back due to construction problems, prompting worries from residents that once completed it won't work safely. Gyeongju Nuclear Safety Alliance, a coalition of local civic groups, is calling for the end of its construction.
"Our main concern is the possibility of accidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl," says Lee Sang-hongdirector of the Gyeongju Nuclear Safety Alliance.
The city of Gyeongju applied to host the country's low-level nuclear waste in 2005. It beat out a few other cities for the privilege, which garnered the municipality about $300 million from the South Korean government. City residents voted in a referendum in favor of bringing the storage grounds to Gyeongju. A few years later, the Fukushima crisis led to a shift in some residents' views on hosting the plant.

Brotherhood returns to underground existence in Egypt
For Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, a fierce crackdown has led to a return to its underground existence of the past: avoiding phones and the Internet, changing homes and blending in.
Ever since security forces forcibly dispersed two Cairo camps of protesters loyal to ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, members of his Muslim Brotherhood organisation have been on the run.
Authorities have arrested the group's top leaders, including its supreme guide, effectively decapitating the movement and disrupting its organisational structure.
Morsi himself is detained at a secret location and authorities have charged him and other Brotherhood members with involvement in the deaths of protesters.
The campaign of arrests has forced the Brotherhood back to ways it had largely abandoned as it inched its way into the spotlight.
Long banned in Egypt, the group had become gradually more tolerated in the years before the 2011 revolution, winning parliamentary seats through candidates who ran as independents.
It took centre-stage only after the uprising which toppled President Hosni Mubarak, winning a majority in parliament and then the presidency. But Morsi's July 3 ouster has reset the clock.
"We've gone back to direct contact after having banned the use of telephones and the Internet, which could allow us to be found," said Aisha, an activist in the Alexandria region of northern Egypt, giving a false name for security reasons.
Her father, a Brotherhood member, has gone underground for fear of arrest after the August 14 break-up of the protest camps by security forces at a cost of hundreds of lives.
"It's worse than under Mubarak," she said. "Because in addition to the violence of the police, there's the hostility of the people."
"Many people no longer want to have Muslim Brotherhood as neighbours, but luckily there are still some who sympathise with us."
Another activist based in Tanta, southwest of Cairo, who asked to be called Ahmed, said the group's leaders were all on the run.
"None of our leaders spend even two nights in a row in the same place," he said.
No rank of the Brotherhood has been left untouched, from grassroots members to supreme guide Mohamed Badie, who was arrested on August 20.
Security sources say more than 2,000 Muslim Brotherhood members have been arrested in the past 12 days.
But a lawyer close to the group, Ismail Wishahi, says "more than 8,000 activists have been locked up."
An anti-Brotherhood mood has been growing for weeks.
The army ousted Morsi after massive demonstrations against his rule.
Ordinary Egyptians have attacked dozens of the group's offices and the local media have lined up behind Morsi's ouster, dubbing the Brotherhood "terrorists" and terming the crisis a "war against terrorism."
In the past, the Brotherhood has been able to mobilise tens of thousands of demonstrators, drawing on a network of supporters throughout the country.
But the violent dispersal of the protest camps and the campaign of arrests has thinned its ranks and made it increasingly difficult to mobilise en masse.
Directives can now only be passed by word-of-mouth, and checkpoints on roads make it impossible to bus supporters from the countryside into towns for demonstrations.
But experts caution against writing off the Brotherhood too soon, particularly as the movement has decades of experience in facing state repression and surviving as a clandestine group.
"The Brotherhood has certainly been shaken up, but it still has control of its finances, and the majority of its activists are still free," said Ashraf al-Sharif, a professor of political science at the American University of Cairo.
"As a closed and secret organisation, the Brotherhood is capable of resisting this wave of repression and reorganising itself quickly," added Haitham Abu Khalil, a former member of the group.
A Brotherhood activist in the city of Port Said, in northern Egypt, said the movement would continue its work, even under pressure and despite the loss of its headquarters.
"We will engage directly with the population once again, and we don't need offices to do that," he said.

How awesome is Colm Meaney? Hell on Wheels asks a lot of Meaney: as Thomas "Doc" Durant, he is called upon to represent a fictionalized version of an historic figure, a character that makes speeches about his self-conscious view of himself as a player on history's stage, like someone out of E. L. Doctorow's Ragtime, a novel that, because of the difficulty of pulling this sort of thing off outside the tightly controlled diorama room of the author's voice, translated to film very badly. At the same time, Meaney is also supposed to make Durant work as a real dramatic character, someone who is in the story and often behaving in ways that are not calculated to win him much in the way of audience sympathy, as in last week's episode, which opened with him running around the scene of a recent Indian massacre, trying to help the news photographer sent to record the horror of the event by sticking arrows into fresh corpses and pounding them in good. ("They can't feel anything!") The role is a stylized theatrical construct that, to work at all, has to be embodied as a force of nature. Meaney neatly polishes off each near-unplayable scene he's been handed and then looks off-screen as if asking the writers, who seem to really have it in for him, "What else you got?"
As conceived, the role of Durant is that of a self-styled man of destiny who's also an actor, who has spent so much time carrying on like a ham in a traveling melodrama that, when he's alone, he has no way to turn it off. (In his first scene in the pilot, he has to pull off the transition of acting for the suckers who he wants to invest in his railroad to talking turkey with a politician whose cooperation he's looking to secure. It's only later that the viewer realizes that he's acting for the politician too, slipping into the world-weary role of a no-bullshit cynic, because that's the only kind of person the cynical bastard would trust.) In tonight's episode, he reviews his correspondence regarding the progress of the Union Pacific ("The Honorable Senator is very concerned. If he were in my shoes, he'd be downright suicidal."), then calls to his manservant to refill his glass. The guy gives him his shot, and then Meaney says, "Your look of disdain reminds me of my dear wife back in New York. What Hannah failed to grasp is that, where most men seek the warm glow that only whiskey can provide, I imbibe to fuel the conflagration. There is a fire in my belly that must be fed. Otherwise, we'll never see the Pacific." (The servant asks if this line ever works on Hannah. Meaney confesses that it does not.) That's how he talks when he just wants the hired help to lay off him about his drinking. Imagine what his Congessional Medal of Honor acceptance speech is going to sound like.
Meaney doesn't just bring off his solo numbers, either. He also ventures out into previously dead territory and makes roses bloom there. Remember Irish Bert and Ernie, the show's representative common men who are just looking to make a buck and get through life without shooting or hanging anyone? Last week, having failed spectacularly to make these guys irresistible in the pilot, the show tried to at least make them sympathetic by subjecting them to the Norwegian Darth Vader and his protection racket. This week, Meaney happens to stumble into the magic lantern theater, and is charmed by their moxie when they salute him as "a great man and a true capitalist" and stick him for a five-dollar ticket for a "private show".. Suddenly, damned if they don't seem sort of interesting, naive but game young men who were able to use a train, the machine that Durant is using to fill his pockets and defile the American west, as their means to taste the pleasures of the world outside the shitty little hamlet they were trapped in as boys. These guys love Durant, the scheming moneybags villain, as one such as he might only be loved by people who, a generation earlier, would have been raised to believe they could have no hopes for a life better or more exciting than the one their parents knew, and who see him as proof that anyone willing to work hard and test the edges from time to time can rise to a higher plane. He, in turn, loves them, for making him feel that the things he does in the name of more money and power aren't just grand and historically important, but might actually be seen as beneficial to someone nearer the bottom. For once, when he smiles and hands over his fiver and listens, enraptured, to the brothers talk about how far they've come, he isn't acting at all.
Meaney also has a scene where he busts up a religious service being delivered by Tom Noonan's reverend. (Noonan continues to give the most restrained performance I've ever seen from him in this role, maybe because he took a look at some of the histrionics going on around him and concluded that giving a quiet, unaffected performance would be the best way to set himself apart from the pack.) Noonan, who is trying to calm war fevers between the whites and the Indians, quotes Bible verse to make the case for peace; Meaney, who wants to use fear of the Indians to make the building of the railroad seem like a patriotic cause, is sitting in the audience and begins to shout over him, quoting verses that make the opposite point, then jumps onstage with him and riles the crowd up to a full, rabble-rousing boil.
Hell on Wheels has big ideas about capital and labor and America, just for a start, and when it makes those points through character and action, as in the scene with Noonan, it can be very affecting, In other places, the show manages to be simultaneously over-explicit and badly confused about what it's being over-explicit about. Common continues to suffer the worst from this, though he does finally get to crack a joke, even if it is one about how one of his fellow rail laborers needs to lay off choking his chicken. In one scene, Anson Mount's Bohannon leaves Common in charge of overseeing the workers for awhile. One of them starts giving him shit, telling him that because he's up there keeping an eye on the line instead of actually hammering rails into the hard ground, "You think you is the white man, not the high-yellow house nigger you is!" So Common, deeply offended that anyone might think that he thinks he's too good—which, in this context, seems to mean "not black enough"—to do grueling manual labor, jumps back into line and starts hammering away harder than anybody. It's like a screwed-up version of the whitewashing scene from Tom Sawyer, except that at moments like that, you have to wonder if any of the writers on this show have even read Tom Sawyer. (Plus, this show has instilled in me a deep passion to learn more about dress codes on nineteenth-century railroad crews. Common continues to show up for work looking rather natty, considering what he has on his plate for the day, and the guy who calls him out is shirtless but is also wearing a hat. These guys dress better to pound spikes in the middle of a desert than I did to take the D train to the upper Manhattan when I was telemarketing.)
As for Cullen Bohannon, he gets to spend another week in his own show, "How Captain Marvel Won the West". At the start of the episode, the Swede informs him that he needs to peel some men off the crew to form a posse to go look for the murdered mapmaker's lost wife, who everyone is now calling "the fair-haired maiden of the West." (The term seems meant to be a joke on cornball newspaper-headline propaganda, but it's a joke that the cameraman and the makeup people aren't in on, since that's exactly how she's always made to look.) Bohannon says that he can't afford to lose a single man, so as a compromise, he gets on his horse and rides off to find her all by himself. To the surprise of no one who's familiar with his track record, he finds her almost immediately, tends her wounds, and tells the Christian-convert Indian who saved her from his old gang buddies, thanks, I'll take it from here. (The Indian is like the kid in the old Shake 'N Bake commercials: "Cullen Bohannon rescued the fair-haired maiden of the West, and Ahhhhh helped!")
Bohannon lets her sleep through the night, and the next morning, he emerges from the woods to lay waste to some blackguards who appear on the scene and appear to mean her no good. (The suggestion is delicately made that he snuck off to take a dump, but as soon as you see that he's not by her side when she awakes, you know that the real reason he's disappeared is so that he can make a dramatic entrance and surprise somebody who's going to swoop in, not knowing that the Terminator's around.) They also have this conversation, after the fair-haired maiden, who looks a little like Bohannon's dead wife, notices that he's being surly to her: "Have I done something?" "It ain't what you done, it's who you are." "What do you mean?" "You ain't whore nor squaw. You shouldn't be out here." "You don't know who I am, nor what I'm capable of." "No, I don't, and I sure as hell don't care." Me thinks he doth protest too much, girlfriend! Mr. Bad Personality finally delivers her to the edge of the railroad camp and then buggers off because he has important business elsewhere, and also because, if he sticks around another five seconds, he might be in danger of hearing someone say, "Thank you." Take it away, Lenny Bruce!
Stray observations:
- The most promising development of this episode, by miles, is the introduction of the new girl at the whorehouse, played by the Australian actress Robin McLeavy. Mcleavy has a direct, challenging quality reminiscent of Pamela Reed's fire-breathing performance as Belle Starr in The Long Riders, and she introduces some erotic charge to a show badly in need of it.

- Exhibition Dates
- May 20–July 2, 2008
The world of Artistic dress was short-lived and inhabited only by a daring few. Originating in mid-19th century England, Artistic dress was sparked by influential artists who subverted societal norms. Rejecting the tightly-trussed clothing of the Victorian era, Artistic dressers sought liberated and individually expressive modes of dressing. Abandoning contemporary fashions, Aesthetes adopted the loose, un-corseted styles of ancient Greece and medieval Europe. In the United States, Bohemian artists championed loose-fitting smocks and the aesthetics of Far Eastern art. Craftsmen looked to the past, creating handmade garments and accessories inspired by historic examples. These groups were unified in their rejection of the inexpensive and widely available products of the Industrial Revolution. Competing with efficiency and scale of the Industrial Revolution proved difficult for artisans and an increased cost of materials and labor ended the utopian ideal of Artistic dress shortly after World War I.

The Columbia University Department of Psychiatry is located at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in northern Manhattan, part of an urban neighborhood that is ethnically and economically diverse in a city that has been called the capital of the world. The institutions which comprise the teaching facilities of the Department are described below.
The Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
Now part of Columbia University, the College of Physicians and Surgeons was founded in 1767 and was the first school in North America to award doctoral degrees in medicine. 'P&S' has developed extensive new facilities over the past few years, including the Hammer Health Sciences Center - a 20-story structure housing an excellent medical library, amphitheatre and teaching facilities. The medical school is considered to be among the finest in America, and has traditionally been one of the nation's primary sources of academicians, investigators and clinical teachers.
The New York State Psychiatric Institute
The New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), established in 1895, was one of the first institutions in the United States to integrate teaching, research and therapeutic approaches to the care of patients with mental illnesses. In 1925, NYSPI affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital, adding general hospital facilities to the Institute's psychiatric services and research laboratories. These treatment, training, and research facilities were supplemented in 1983 by a 14-floor Psychiatric Research Building, the Kolb Annex.
The NYSPI was further modernized in 1998 by opening of a new hospital building to replace the original one. Overlooking the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge, the new Psychiatric Institute provides a state-of-the art environment for patient care, education, and research. The approximately 320,000 square feet offer space for 60 inpatient beds, 23 specialized outpatient research clinics, educational facilities, and research laboratories. Walkway bridges to and from the Kolb Annex and New York Presbyterian Hospital provide comfortable and efficient all-weather avenues for patient and staff travel within the Columbia University Medical Center.
Since its inception, NYSPI has been at the forefront of psychiatry, making major contributions to the clinical care and understanding of the mentally ill. Among these accomplishments are: the discovery of the spirochaetal origin of general paresis, the earliest use of lithium in the United States, the first data describing a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia, leadership in the discovery of the genes causing Huntington's and Wilson's disease, and the development of DSM-III, DSM III-R and DSM-IV.
Through the years, distinguished figures in American psychiatry have served as directors of the Psychiatric Institute, including Drs. Ira Van Gieson, Adolph Meyer, August Hoch, Lawrence Kolb, Edward Sachar and Herbert Pardes. It is now led by a noted academic psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman. The excellence of the Institute is reflected in the rare perfect score received in the most recent hospital accreditation.
The New York Presbyterian Hospital
In 1921, the Presbyterian Hospital formed an alliance with Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, leading to the formation of the Columbia University Medical Center. This affiliation allowed for coordinating the care of the sick with the educational and research programs of the College. The core Presbyterian Hospital structure, adjacent to the NYSPI, is the 745-bed Milstein Hospital building, which has expanded the hospital's advanced medical procedures and its critical care capability. Other components of Presbyterian Hospital, each with its own history prior to joining the medical center complex, include the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, the Harkness Eye Institute, Sloane Hospital for Women, the Neurological Institute, and Vanderbilt Clinic. The Allen Pavilion, a 300-bed community hospital component of Presbyterian, is located at the northern tip of Manhattan. In total there are approximately 1,200 beds. Each year, over 46,000 patients are treated in the hospital and approximately 700,000 patients are seen in the outpatient clinics and doctors' offices. The professional staff consists of over 1,100 attending physicians, 500 residents and many clinical and research fellows.
Combining forces as leaders in the current healthcare marketplace, in 1999 Presbyterian Hospital merged with New York Hospital, a Cornell affiliate, to become New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH). NYPH has and will continue to have two major sites, with separate academic affiliations; ours is the Columbia Campus. Thus both the Columbia and Cornell Departments of Psychiatry conduct care in the different sites of NYPH. Our services and our training programs collaborate. In fact, the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residencies of Columbia and Cornell have combined. The Adult/General Psychiatry Residencies, however, are administratively and functionally independent.
Columbia University Medical Center offers superb primary care to the Washington Heights community and is also a tertiary care facility providing advanced specialty care. Psychiatric services at the Columbia campus of NYPH include 50 inpatient beds, an outpatient department with 100,000 visits/year, a comprehensive emergency service with 3,500 visits/year, a child psychiatric clinic, and a consultation-liaison service. Construction on a new inpatient unit was completed in 2002, and new child psychiatry facilities recently opened.
Additional Services
The Department of Psychiatry at Columbia has recently taken the initiative in developing its own clinical outpatient services, at times in partnership with other health care organizations. These services, not directly connected with either New York Presbyterian Hospital or the New York State Psychiatric Institute, respond to the growing managed care environment while maintaining high academic standards.
The Psychoanalytic Center for Training and Research
The Center, founded in the Department of Psychiatry of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1945, was the first psychoanalytic institute affiliated with the American Psychoanalytic Association to be established in a university medical school. This step was taken with the firm belief that psychoanalysis and medicine would each benefit through a close relationship and that a psychoanalytic training institute would be advantageously located in the department of psychiatry of a medical school, with access to patients, facilities, teaching programs, and research opportunities. The Center is located in the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and its large faculty provide supervision of psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as courses on the theory and practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the Residency Training Program.
The New York State Psychiatric Institute Library plays an integral role in the research and training activities of the Institute. It offers a diverse group of mental health professionals one of the finest collections of its kind in the country. More than 600 journals are received regularly and the collection of nearly 33,000 bound volumes is continually expanding. The early and current literature in alldisciplines related to psychiatry is represented in its collection. Researchers with interests ranging from the history of psychiatry to the latest developments in neurobiology can find source material, no matter how obscure, among the wealth of books and journals found in the library.
The Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library, located across from the Psychiatric Institute, serves the educational and research needs of the Columbia University Medical Center. The Library contains over 400,000 volumes and receives over 3,800 current periodicals. The Special Collections Section ranks among the foremost medical historical collections in the country. Among the rare works, a large portion of Sigmund Freud's personal library is preserved. Over 750 books, journals and reprints, many containing Freud's marginal notes, as well as several of Freud's letters, are found in this collection.

A baby born to a woman who suffers
A large British study also found that among those with less education, a mother's postpartum depression -- as well as a father's depression following his baby's birth -- similarly raised the odds that that offspring would go on the become depressed. Mothers and fathers with more education who became depressed after a baby's birth appeared less likely to sow the seeds of later depression in the child.
The child's odds of going on to suffer depression rose steadily as the severity of his mother's depression during pregnancy increased. And for women with lower education, a case of severe postpartum depression was linked to a higher likelihood that her child would suffer depression by late adolescence than if her postpartum symptoms were milder.
The findings, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, underscore the importance of treating depression in pregnant women, the authors wrote. And they suggest that a child whose mother was depressed while carrying him would be a good candidate for early intervention aimed at nipping melancholia in the bud.
In the interests of children's future mental health, public health officials might consider making it a priority to support less-educated mothers who have postpartum depression, the authors wrote.
To explore the intergenerational transmission of depression, the authors tracked 8,937 pregnant women and the children to whom they gave birth in a corner of southwest England between April 1991 and December 1992. After gauging the mental health of the women and their partners throughout and after pregnancy, the researchers collected parental reports on the children and made their own assessments based on regular clinic visits. They tracked the kids until they reached 18.
The study does little to tease apart the many factors known to influence a child's propensity to develop depression. Genes, early bonding experience with caregivers and even intrauterine environment all are thought to raise or lower the risk. The power of education to blunt the impact of a parent's postpartum depression is strong testament to the early environmental factors that influence the development of the disorder.
On the other hand, when a mother was depressed during her pregnancy, the likelihood that she would transmit that vulnerability to her unborn child was not mitigated by such social factors as better education. That underscores the contributions of genetics and "fetal programming" -- the stew of hormones and other chemicals in which a baby is incubated, and which powerfully influence brain development -- in the intergenerational pattern of depression.

Among one of the many disastrous elements surrounding this Lakers season takes place when most fans are waiting in lines at the concession stands.
But those who make it back to their seats as the second half begins see the Lakers playing as if they're the ones who just consumed hotdogs and nachos.
The Lakers (14-23) have dropped 10 of their last 11 games for the first time since the 2004-05 season, and six of those losses coincided with pitiful third quarters. Consider the recent third-quarter scoring deficits against the Clippers (31-8), Houston (33-15), Denver (33-22), Philadelphia (34-25), Phoenix (26-17) and Golden State (26-15).
"I don't know if we're getting tired," said Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni, who gave the team the day off Saturday since the Lakers don't play until Tuesday against Cleveland (13-23) at Staples Center. "When we come out, we're not quite ready to roll. Other teams are also probably talking at halftime, 'Okay, let's knock them out of the box.' It's a combo of them good and us bad."
The Lakers don't appear at a loss for words for the solution, suggesting they'd do just fine in "Scrabble."
"It's something that consciously we have to do a better job and come out with confidence and aggressiveness," Lakers forward Pau Gasol said. "We have to do a better job of stopping people, forcing guys and teams to make tougher shots. It seems like teams are playing with too much confidence and taking the Lakers for granted.
"They're thinking, 'It's an easy game and we'll just score 120, 130 points. Everybody will get their numbers and it will be a wonderful night.'"
This season, the Lakers have ranked last out of 30 NBA teams in third-quarter margins (-3.4 points), 28th in third quarter total defense (26.1 points per game) and 26th in third-quarter points per game (22.7).
"We need motivation. We need to get on one another and hold each other accountable," Lakers forward Nick Young said. "Once we get down a little bit in a game, we continue to get down on ourselves."
Quick turnover
The Lakers have shown no signs they can offer the sort of rim protection and grittiness needed to become a strong defensive team. But they could at least mitigate their season-long defensive issues by minimizing turnovers.
Without three true point guards in Steve Nash (nerve issues back), Steve Blake (hyperextended right elbow) and Jordan Farmar (torn left hamstring), however, the Lakers have fared 26th overall in turnovers (15.4).
"We have to make smart basketball plays," said Lakers guard Kendall Marshall, who has averaged 2.9 turnovers in nine games since the Lakers signed him from the Development League three weeks ago. "We've been stressing it. It's been an emphasis. When we're in a flow, we're not turning it over."
The Lakers have also suggested they need to set better screens better for Marshall and space the floor more consistently.
"God gave (Marshall) the ability to have an unbelievable passing ability," D'Antoni said. "We're closing the floor up on him. If we do that, we're going to turn it over. That's not his fault. That's a team fault."

New locally-made snack food is getting rave reviews
- Written by Deborah Stone
The local man, who grew up on the Eastside and attended UW, once owned a chain of hospitals in the South, then sold them all and became a professional racecar driver.
For 10 years, he competed in events all over the world, winning 33 professional races and three championships.
Now, retired from the sport, he is owner and CEO of HALFPOPS, a natural snack food company dedicated to reinventing the popcorn category.
"I have an entrepreneur background among other things," says Fitzgerald, "but before this, I'd never done anything related to food so that aspect of it is all new."
He explains that the idea for the unique snack food did not originate with him.
"Another guy, who was enamored with the crunchier pieces at the bottom of the popcorn bowl, came up with the idea," says Fitzgerald.
"He experimented and figured out how to pop the corn kernels half way and then filed a patent application. But, he couldn't get a business going. A friend connected me to this guy and I stepped in."
This was back in 2008. Fitzgerald spent the next few years working on perfecting the recipe in his kitchen, designing packaging and getting the necessary equipment together to produce the product.
He then leased warehouse space in Woodinville and worked for nine months to get all the production details ironed out.
HALFPOPS was launched last April and immediately attracted fans.
Early devotees of the all-natural, gluten-free, air-popped snack include Barking Frog Executive Pastry Chef Matt Kelley, who liked them so much he opted to incorporate them into a dessert.
"I'm always looking for fun and different ingredients to add something extra to my menu," comments Kelley. "My wife and I love snacking on HALFPOPS as a treat, but I realized that they could enhance my desserts as well."
In October, Food Network Magazine named the product one of the "10 Things You Need to Know This Month," and Every Day with Rachel Ray magazine included HALFPOPS in "Rachael Ray's Faves."
The snack food has also been featured in Cool Hunting and a host of other online publications.
Locally, HALFPOPS can be found in over 70 stores, mostly in the Seattle area, but they're also in selected stores in Alaska, Oregon and California.
"Metropolitan Market was the first one we went into last June," notes Fitzgerald. "The success there led to getting our product into the Hagen Top Food chain and then other stores followed such as Central Market and Your Local Market.
"We also launched our online store in July, which makes HALFPOPS available anywhere in the U.S. and around the world."
The response to the product has been extremely good, according to Fitzgerald.
He says that most everyone who tries HALFPOPS loves them.
"People tell us they're addictive," he adds. "They're flavorful and for a snack, they're fairly healthy and low in fat calories when compared to other snacks.
"We market them as a natural product that has no preservatives or artificial ingredients, and they're made in a nut-free facility."
The company's production space is about 5,000 square feet and accommodates a 14,000-pound-popcorn popper, which can make 10,000 bags in three hours.
Currently, the company produces two flavors of HALFPOPS: butter and sea salt and white cheddar.
Fitzgerald hopes to add a third flavor in the future. He says, "We have an online poll going on right now to determine what the flavor will be.
People can choose from kettle corn, chipotle lime or jalapeno cheddar. So far, kettle corn is winning."
He adds, "We won't be adding another flavor though until we get more production capacity.
"We're looking for a bigger space, but we want to stay in Woodinville."
The local man chose Woodinville because he likes the area, particularly the "vibe" that has been created from all the wineries and breweries in residence.
Fitzgerald's ultimate goal for the company is to make HALFPOPS a national brand.

This term Ilearn continues to be an exciting project at St Joseph's Schofields. Ipads continue to enhance the learning in a variety of ways within Stage 3, supporting students (and teachers!) as they communicate, collaborate, create and become more critical thinkers.
During this term, the students have particularly loved the opportunity to utilise the ipads within engaging investigations during Mathematics. Whilst the teachers have been able to deepen the learning thanks to enriching professional learning and mentoring support from the Ilearn team.
This term in Mathematics, the teaching team planned and implemented investigations in Time and Volume and Capacity.
The Time investigation gave students the opportunity to use a range of ipad features and apps as they explored 24-hour time, duration, timezones and much more.
The Volume and Capacity investigation required students to contribute to mathematical conversations within Google slides and docs as they investigated buildings and then created their own. As students created their own towers, they recorded and shared their thinking as they developed an understanding of cubic centimetres and metres.

Janet wanted to reverse her condition and knew that medications were not the solution, but she wasn't sure what to do next. After taking a lengthy health history, it was clear to me that her problem was due, in part, to chronic inflammation — something her doctor had overlooked.
Janet was overweight, didn't exercise, and had a lot of allergies, tendonitis, and a gum infection. She thought these problems were minor and separate from one another. They weren't. They were interrelated. After Janet went on a diet and supplement program designed to lower chronic inflammation, she began to feel better — and her cholesterol numbers proved it wasn't just emotional.
Recent studies are pointing to chronic inflammation as being a major risk factor for heart disease. Because inflammation can be painless and frequently goes undetected, its relationship to disease has been overlooked. If you have several diseases caused by inflammation, you may have a low-level chronic inflammatory process that could eventually lead to heart disease. An inflammation is like a fire. If you don't put it out, it spreads. It may lie smoldering so you don't even know it's there, but unless it's squelched, it continues to burn slowly.
"Itis" means inflammation, so arthritis, gastritis, dermatitis, pancreatitis, bronchitis, colitis, dermatitis, gingivitis, hepatitis, and psoriasis have a common denominator: chronic inflammation. So do other conditions like some forms of cancer, asthma, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and coronary heart disease. When you reduce chronic inflammation, all of these conditions can improve.
Inflammation and your heart
Not all inflammation is bad. It helps our bodies get rid of foreign matter like bacteria and toxins, keeping them from spreading into other tissues and organs. Its protective responses — redness, heat, pain, and swelling — help the body get rid of foreign substances and prepare injured tissues for repair. Occasional inflammation is part of the normal healing process.
But like just about everything, inflammation has its down side. When it's chronic, it becomes destructive. Repeatedly inflamed tissues become damaged and break down, creating diseases. In the case of heart disease, blood vessel walls can become inflamed from either a low-level infection, high levels of homocysteine (an amino acid made from methionine), or oxysterols (rancid cholesterol).
Small quantities of red meat and dairy products, all high-methionine foods, usually pose no problems. But large amounts can create too much homocysteine, and this is the beginning of a vicious cycle, because excessive homocysteine produces free radicals that, in turn, make oxysterols.
Oxysterols are the harmful, oxidized form of cholesterol that can cause plaque to form on artery walls. Oxysterols are not only created from homocysteine, they are found in some processed foods like powdered eggs and milk, re-heated lard, and gelatin products. Some nutrients, like beta carotene, folic acid, and vitamins B6, B12, C, and E, can neutralize both homocysteine and oxysterols. Be sure you're taking a good quality multivitamin/mineral especially if you eat a high animal-protein diet. You may need stronger anti-inflammatory nutrients as well.

A Special Visit
The scene would have been fitting for a visit by the President.
Every member of the Pawtucket Red Sox sat in front of his locker in full uniform. When the special guest walked into the home clubhouse at McCoy Stadium, every player stood up and applauded before eventually approaching the individual for a personal greeting.
But the visitor was not Barack Obama or another dignitary. It was 20-year-old Red Sox prospect Ryan Westmoreland.

The date was April 29th and it was Ryan's first visit to Pawtucket since having surgery to remove blood vessels from his brain stem six weeks earlier. After a stop in the manager's office, Westmoreland walked into the clubhouse with Torey Lovullo.
"Without a doubt, the single most emotional moment I've had as a manager," Lovullo said. "I've been in this game for 24 years and to see the impact of his presence was startling and emotional all in one because the guys were so excited that he was going to be there. When he walked in, everybody was right there waiting for him and they all stood up and gave him a standing ovation. It lasted for a good 25 or 30 seconds and then the guys one-by-one came up and gave him a hug and welcomed him. Ryan was in the middle of the room with his teammates and friends and it's one of those things you don't see in sports very often. People have asked me about Daniel Nava's grand slam and that's the second-most excited I've ever been in baseball. The Ryan Westmoreland moment was easily the most impressive and emotional moment I've ever had in sports."
35-year-old Joe Nelson was still with the PawSox at the time and helped organize the greeting.
"Four or five guys on the team knew him pretty well and we didn't know what to expect," Nelson said. "We weren't sure how far along he was going to be in his recovery, but he looked great. We got a heads-up that he was coming in, so we all went to our lockers so that he could walk into a full clubhouse. We wanted him to feel like he was part of our team. There were a lot of hugs and handshakes and afterwards, Torey said that he was pretty emotional. We tried to make it as normal but as special as possible. Our hearts all went out to Ryan because we all want to see him get back and do what he's always wanted to do."
"If you weren't there, it seems like it was very orderly and scripted, but that wasn't the case at all," Lovullo said. "I just gave the guys a heads-up that there was a really good chance that Ryan was going to visit the clubhouse and they made him feel welcome. It was one of these special impromptu moments and that's the impact that this guy has on so many people at so many levels. That's how much of an impact his fight has had on these guys. He is never far from our thoughts. We care for him – those that know him and those that don't know him – we care for him on an incredible level."
It's been three months since Ryan's surgery and the Portsmouth, RI resident is making tremendous progress. Dan Barbarisi wrote an outstanding story this week in the Providence Journal about Westmoreland's road to recovery that I highly encourage you to read if you haven't already.
Westmoreland spoke to reporters on Wednesday and said his goal is to return to professional baseball.
"I feel a lot better," Westmoreland said. "If you asked me three months ago, the progress has been amazing. I heard from a bunch of doctors and the progress has been remarkable. I'm just excited to keep it going.
"From the doctor's point of view, not one of them has set a time-table as to when I'm going to get back to playing. I can think in my head, I'm really confident. And going to see the Portland games and the Pawtucket games and the Boston games just gives me that extra motivation and confidence that I'm going to get back again but as far as the time-table, I'm not really sure. I'm just really focused on the next day ahead and just trying to get better every day."
Hopefully one day, Ryan will walk into the home clubhouse at McCoy Stadium as an active player. But he is already welcome to walk in as a member of the PawSox family.
"The clubhouse is a sacred place among players," Nelson said. "Occasionally we'll bring our kids in and they get to come through, but our wives have never been in the clubhouse and that's a place that's a safe haven from the outside world when you're a ballplayer. Every day when you go to work, that's the place where you go to clock in. We wanted Ryan to remember how special the clubhouse can be and how your teammates are a family. He hadn't been in a clubhouse since spring training and we wanted to bring back that special feeling of home for a ballplayer. It was important for us for Ryan to feel like he was back home."
* * * * *
When I called Joe Nelson for this story, I was happy to reach him in Tacoma, WA where he has just joined the Seattle's Triple-A team in the Pacific Coast League.
Nelson began the year in Pawtucket and earned a promotion to Boston after going 3-2 for the PawSox with a 2.49 ERA in 16 outings.
But after posting a 9.72 ERA in 8 games with the Red Sox, Nelson was designated for assignment on June 11th. After clearing waivers on June 17th, Joe declined an assignment to Pawtucket and told reporters he had probably thrown his last pitch.
But the Mariners changed his mind.
"It came out of nowhere," Nelson told me. "I had kind of hung it up. I didn't pick up a ball for about eight days. The Red Sox were the team I wanted to be with and they gave me a chance – I just didn't throw well. I was disappointed, but they didn't owe me anything. I got everything I wanted – I got an opportunity, I got enough appearances, and I just didn't produce. That was frustrating and I think that was why I was planning to stay home with my family. But after about eight days my wife said, 'Are you sure?' I got phone calls from about three or four teams that said they were interested in having me come to Triple-A and that it could be for a short time. Seattle came with a pretty good offer and they said that they had some needs to fill. I could have walked away from the game with no regrets but this opportunity presented itself and you have to weigh each one individually. I feel like this is a good spot for me to be right now. The Red Sox were great. Tito and Theo and Ben and my teammates were unbelievable – I loved being up there. But I felt like I had probably fallen too far down on the depth chart and it was going to take a lot for me to get back to the big leagues."
Seattle is clearly looking for veteran bullpen help. In recent weeks the Mariners have also signed Billy Traber and Scott Patterson to minor league deals. Traber pitched for Pawtucket last year, but did not get any offers as a free agent and wasn't in a spring training camp. Patterson was expected to pitch for the PawSox this season, but was one of the Red Sox final cuts in Ft. Myers.
Nelson realized his goal of making it back to Boston for the first time since 2004 when he earned a ring after making three regular season appearances for the Red Sox.
"The last time they let me go they won a World Series so maybe they'll go ahead and get that done again."

The PawSox will have Felix Doubront on the mound on Friday when they open a 4-game series at Syracuse. I hope you'll join us for radio coverage beginning with the pre-game show at 6:45 on the PawSox radio network and pawsox.com.

I'm often curious to know what font a website is using. Using the inspector in Chrome or Safari I can easily identify the
font-family style being applied, but that gives a list of fonts with no indication which one's actually being used.
For example, if I head for gov.uk in Chrome I can select a heading (at the moment there's one reading "Simpler, clearer, faster"), right-click and choose "Inspect Element", and see at a glance that it's using the following
font-family declaration:
font-family: "nta","GDS-Regular",sans-serif;
But what I can't see is which of those fonts is actually being displayed.
It feels like the functionality I'm looking for must be in Chrome's inspector view somewhere and I'm just not looking in the right place. Is it?
(I know there are services like WhatTheFont that take an image and identify the fonts in it, but that's not what I'm looking for.)

Saturday we celebrated an early Valentines with my side of the family. We get together for a little party each year. My dad always has something special for the "kids" --us older ones and the little ones too. It was a lot of fun and basically we've now acquired way too much candy that has been stashed away for
Bella and I made some little valentines for her to give away also. If you haven't seen this sweet little idea at 30 handmade days, you need to! It was so simple. We made it even simpler by using store bought cream cheese icing. The cookies are delicious and adorable and the free printable is perfect.
Seriously you can't buy something this cute in the stores and I love the handmade touch. If you are wondering, yes Bella really did help me. She rolled the dough into balls for me and I shaped them into hearts. It was alot of fun to do with her, she loved every second of it.
Asher and I will be working on his tonight for his class party tomorrow. He's decided on these Superhero tootsie pops and I think they look really fun.
I also thought this was another cute idea too, but Asher went with the super hero.
Tough call though right? So many cute ideas.
So did you do any early celebrating this weekend? What are your plans for Valentines?
Also, I wanted to let you in on something new coming to the blog next Monday! I've been talking with Heather at Life Made Lovely and asked if she would be willing to let me pick up where she left off with her Life Made Lovely Mondays. I just loved her heart and the meaning behind this link up she started. So I am so excited to now be hosting one here called Bits of Splendor Monday.
Each Monday, you can link up with your post about whatever Bit of Splendor you found in your week. The little moments or things in your life each week that made it fun, distinct and beautiful. Maybe it's a fun craft or new project {I love a good craft or decor project!} an encouraging word, a special memory or milestone you want to capture with your loved ones and kids, or simply something God taught you that week. Whatever it is, I'm a firm believer in documenting these things.
So that's what this link up is for!
I'm excited to begin this and can't wait to see what you have to share. I'll feature a new post each week. I am looking forward to meeting some new friends and hopefully connecting you with new ones as well.
My heart for this is to continue cultivating community and encouragement among us, and to capture the distinct moments of life that make it so beautiful. I hope you will join me. Next Monday the 20th!!
Also, do you love the new design? Sweet Danielle from Take Heart did it all and I could not love it more!! If you are needing a new look or just some tweaks for your blog, she's your girl. But you better hurry cause she's about to have herself a sweet new baby girl to keep her arms busy!

Shawnee overcame five errors Monday to topple El Reno 8-4.
Shawnee overcame five errors Monday to topple El Reno 8-4.
Victorious pitcher Kylee Thompson, who went 6 2/3 innings, gave up six hits. Thompson didn't issue a base on balls and struck out two.
El Reno left 10 runners on base.
McKenzie Cooper was Shawnee's offensive sparkplug with a 4-of-4 performance — a double, a triple, two singles, three runs batted in, one run scored and two stolen bases. She had a two-run double in the fifth as Shawnee assumed a 5-1 advantage.
Thompson chipped in with a double, a single and two runs. She scored in both the fourth and fifth innings.
Alexis Freeman of Shawnee doubled and scored in the first inning.
Three of El Reno's four runs were unearned. Shawnee had three errors in the seventh as El Reno scored twice.
"Kylee came in and did a good job and we got some timely hits," Shawnee head coach Todd Boyer said. "McKenzie also had a big night. We have to do a better job late in the game.
"But we won and it's another step forward. We hope to continue moving in that direction."
Shawnee, 5-9, will entertain Seminole in a 5 p.m. varsity/junior-varsity doubleheader today.

Snakeweed is a magical plant. It is sold at one of the apothecaries in Diagon Alley, thus it is therefore used in Potion-making.[1] It is also used in the making of snakeweed tea.
One could buy jars of Purest Extract of Snakeweed at The Diagon Dispensary.[2]
Behind the scenes
- Snakeweed (Polygonum bistorta) is one of the forty members of the Polygonum genus, like knotgrass. Because knotgrass may refer to several species of Polygonum, the two are easily confused. Snakeweed, commonly known as Bistort, was used traditionally to treat ulcerative sores and stomach ailments and was also an ingredient in a springtime pudding in Northern England.[3]

When Richard Helms of Cincinnati was killed Wednesday night on Interstate 78 while trying to help another motorist, his dog, Rancid, was left alone at the side of the road.
When Richard Helms of Cincinnati was killed Wednesday night on Interstate 78 while trying to help another motorist, his dog, Rancid, was left alone at the side of the road.
But he is not alone now.
Helms' death while he was coming to the aid of a trapped driver has brought an outpouring of generosity from Lehigh Valley residents. They want to help get Helms' best friend — his 11-year-old German shepherd and Labrador mix — home to Helms' family in Hollywood, Fla.
"This gentleman died doing something awesome," said Don Travis, a Slatington pilot who has offered to fly Rancid to Florida. "He needs to be taken care of."
Helms died Wednesday night after he got out of his car at the height of a freezing rainstorm to help a motorist who had crashed on the icy highway in South Whitehall Township.
Helms, whose wife of 30 years, Pat, and two of his three daughters live in Florida, was trying to reach the trapped motorist when a sport utility vehicle slid and hit him.
Joe Kriebel, a tow truck driver who noticed Helms' faithful companion still in the rental car Helms had been driving, took Rancid home until he could figure out how to get the dog to Helms' family.
It remains unclear who, or when, someone will take the dog to Florida, but there's no shortage of people willing to help.
At least four people, including Travis, have offered to fly or drive the dog, and countless others have offered to donate money to help pay for the trip, said Liz Jones, who operates The Sanctuary at Haafsville, a shelter in Upper Macungie Township that has been arranging for the dog's transport home.
Even as Paul Helms drove with a heavy heart from Ohio to claim his brother's body Friday, he was uplifted by the generosity that followed his brother's selfless act.
"It kind of renews your faith in the human spirit," Paul Helms said. "Rick would be so happy to know that so many people are concerned about Rancid."
Kriebel said he plans to take Rancid to a veterinarian to make sure he can fly before putting the dog on a plane sometime next week.
