By helping individuals connect their irrational beliefs to their ineffectual and sometimes violent consequence, you will learn to take control of your anger and not allow it to control you. Using the ABC's of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy we will explore how activating events in your life and your belief systems or your schema trigger your emotional and behavioral consequences. Additionally, using a pulse oximeter we will explore the effects of anger on your body and learn how to de-flood your system while learning self soothing techniques.

Anger is an emotion that is strong. Its an emotion expressing that something is not ok. Anger presents its face to necessarily express that you are not ok and/or something is not ok, and change needs to happen. This emotion is valuable. However, there are effective ways of expressing anger; ways which empowers one to make positive change and there are less-than-helpful ways of expressing anger; bringing one farther and farther away from our goal. It is my mission to help you work on your anger to strengthen you in effectively creating a more wholesome, healthy way of interacting with the universe, improving your relationship skills and allowing life to unfold in a safer,smoother fashion.

Many of us learned in life that we're powerless, unable to change the very things that so deeply impact and hurt us, robbing us of happiness and success. It makes us angry, resentful, and full of rage. But you don't have to be a prisoner of that neverending dynamic. Learn to face you hurts, take responsibility for your needs, and tools for healthy, constructive emotional expression that builds relationships.

Anger is the manifestation of thinking one is unable to control a situation, person or inner pain. I have successfully provided clients with tools to manage their emotions. These tools have allowed them to work on addressing the problem so it doesn't lead to explosive outbursts. Or, ultimately the loss of control. I focus on listening to create solutions rather than the repetitive negative behavior.

In psychotherapy patients can benefit from anger management counseling by learning to better manage powerful emotions such as anger and rage. Patients can also learn to manage strong impulses and modify their behavior. Another focus of anger management may be improving one's communication skills to reduce the drive toward "acting-out." Improvements in these various areas can have positive and long lasting effects on interpersonal relationships.

In close relationships, we become most vulnerable, open, and dependent. When conflict arises with our partner, we may react with intense anger which escalates as the argument continues. As these scenarios become more frequent, it's important to seek assistance. Meredith works with couples to help them identify triggers for conflict and reduce and mediate arguments. As each partner gains an understanding of the other's needs and desires, it becomes easier to discuss issues at hand without escalating to anger.

Anger is an emotion that we all feel...but it has the ability to evoke guilt if expressed in a way that hurts others or used as a means of pushing others away. Whether you express your anger with angry outbursts or passive aggression, it can cause conflicts with loved ones. Therapy can help you identify your "triggers" associated with your frustration, as well as identify the pattern of anger within conflicts.
Lisa Lempel-Sander, LPsyA
Licensed Psychoanalyst
221 Hollywood Avenue, Douglaston, New York 11363
Anger management seeks to enable you to control those explosive urges to destroy, obliterate, hurt, or injure when you're angry or provoked. While some of the work we do is cognitive or behavioral in orientation, other parts of the work are psychoanalytic, seeking to help us both reach and heal the deep wounds that engender such a tremendous and often overwhelming sense of rage. The benefits of bringing your anger under control are self-evident. You can expect improvements in the quality of your personal and professional relationships and will see overall strengthening of self esteem, compassion for self and others, and an overall improvement in your sense of stability and well-being.

Congenital nephrotic syndrome is a disorder passed down through families in which a baby develops protein in the urine and swelling of the body. Congenital means it is present from birth. However, this group of disorders also includes nephrotic syndrome that occurs in the first 3 months of life.
See also: Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome - congenital
Congenital nephrotic syndrome is a very rare form of nephrotic syndrome. It occurs mostly in families of Finnish origin and develops shortly after birth. It is inherited, which means it is passed down through families.
Children with this disorder have an abnormal form of a protein called nephrin. The kidney's filters (glomeruli) need this protein to function normally.
An ultrasound done on the pregnant mother before birth may show a larger-than-normal placenta. The placenta is the organ that develops during pregnancy to feed the growing baby.
Pregnant mothers may have a screening test done during pregnancy to check for this condition. The test looks for higher-than-normal levels of alpha-fetoprotein in a sample of amniotic fluid. Genetic tests should be used to confirm the diagnosis if the screening test is positive.
After birth, the infant will show signs of severe fluid retention and swelling. The health care provider will hear abnormal sounds when listening to the baby's heart and lungs with a stethoscope. Blood pressure may be high. There may be signs of malnutrition.
Early and aggressive treatment is needed to control this disorder.
Treatment may involve:
Fluids may be limited to help control swelling.
The health care provider may recommend removing the kidneys to stop protein loss. This may be followed by dialysis or a kidney transplant.
The disorder often leads to infection, malnutrition, and kidney failure. It can lead to death by age 5, and many children die within the first year. Congenital nephrotic syndrome may be controlled in some cases with early and aggressive treatment, including an early kidney transplant.
Call your health care provider if your child has symptoms of congenital nephrotic syndrome.

First Time Day Campers
How can I best prepare my child for their first camp experience?
First, we recommend that you visit the campsite prior to camp. The Medford swim club, which is open to all JCC members, opens the 3rd Saturday in June. Knowing what the campsite looks like will certainly make your child more comfortable. Next, we suggest you save the date for our "Meet the Counselor Day" (for campers 3 – 9 years), the Sunday prior to camp from 2:00pm – 3:30pm, so your child can meet their counselors and the other campers in their bunk. Camp Aaron campers (10 – 13 years) can tour the facility and meet the staff the Sunday before camp from 2:00pm – 3:30pm.
What do I need to pack in my child's backpack?
Each camper should come to camp wearing sneakers and a bathing suit under their clothes. In their bags they should have a second bathing suit, 2 towels, and underwear. We recommend putting the underwear (and shorts for boys) in a plastic bag so they stay dry until your child is ready to change into them. After the first swim, campers change out of the wet suit and into the dry suit. After the 2nd swim they change into their dry underwear and shorts. Many parents choose to send a snack and drink for the bus ride home. A frozen drink box is great as it will thaw but remain cool for the ride home.
Many campers like to pack a water bottle placed inside a sock to collect the condensation. We have water coolers as well as water fountains throughout the campsite, but they are certainly welcome to pack their own. We strongly discourage packing electronic games, trading cards, or other "valuable" items, and cell phones are not permitted at Camp. Please make sure that you label all of your child's belongings.
Bus Information
What time will my child be picked up and return home?
This information can be found on your child's bus/bunk card. The bus/bunk cards are mailed the week prior to camp. The card will list the time that your child will be picked up in the AM, the corner where the bus will stop and the bus number. The PM time you can guesstimate based on the time it takes for the bus to run the AM route. If they are picked up around 9:15am and get to camp around 9:45am then you can assume that the PM time on the bus will be approximately 1/2 hour. The buses depart camp at approximately 4:00pm.
Who will supervise my child on the bus and make sure that he gets to his bunk?
A trained bus counselor is assigned to each bus to ensure safety and encourage fun. All of our buses have seat belts and are radio equipped. The bus counselor will help your child get buckled if they need assistance. Once the bus arrives at camp, the bus counselor makes sure all of the younger campers have their bags and escorts them to the main trail where many adults are waiting to greet them and match them up with counselors who will walk them everyday to their bunk table.
What if I am not at the bus stop when the bus drops off in the afternoon?
If you decide your child may get off the bus and walk home on his/her own, then the bus will drop your child off and continue on. If you plan to be at the bus stop everyday, give your bus counselor a note letting them know that you will be there everyday. Should the bus arrive to drop off your child and you are not there, the bus will continue its route with your child remaining on the bus. The driver will try to loop around again to see if you have arrived and we will attempt to call you. If you are still not at the stop, once the route is completed, your child will be taken to the Katz JCC in Cherry Hill, where he/she will participate in our daycare program. During this time, we will continue to try to reach you or your emergency numbers.
Can my child ride on his friend's bus one day?
As space on each bus is limited, no camper is permitted to change buses without the approval of the Transportation Coordinator. If space is available on the friend's bus, you will be given permission to ride on the specified day and a written note or email is required for final approval. For attendance purposes, it is important that we know what bus your child is coming and going on. If your child takes a different bus in the morning, we will need to know if he/she plans to take the regular bus home. The regular bus counselor will have your child marked absent for the AM and assume they are not coming home in the PM. When you coordinate with Camp transportation, we will inform the regular bus counselor to make sure your child is on the bus in the PM.
How do I sign up for the express bus?
The express bus leaves from the Katz JCC and goes directly to camp without stopping. There are several express buses and they leave at staggered times so we have smaller crowds waiting for the buses. Just write in the JCC express bus stop number, which can be found on the bus stop listing, on your camper's registration form and we will assign them to a JCC express bus. If you want to change from your neighborhood stop to an express bus you must contact the camp office and submit your request in writing. There is a $30 administration fee for any transportation changes made after May 15th. Because each bus has a limited number of seats, your camper must ride their assigned bus.
What if I need to pick up my child early?
If you know in advance that you will be doing this, please send in a note with your child, let the bus counselor know AND email (email@example.com) or call camp 609-654-5192 x106. When you arrive at camp you will be asked to park in the lower lot. For safety reasons, no vehicles are permitted to drive into camp. The security guard will check you in and direct you to the offices. If we know the time you are arriving, we will do our best to have your child waiting at the office for you. You must sign your child out in the office.
What if I need to drop my child off late?
If your child will not be riding the bus in the morning, please call the camp office either the day before or the morning of so we can inform the bus company. The camp office opens at 8:00am. When you arrive at camp you will be asked to park in the lower lot. The security guard will check you in and direct you to the office. You must sign your child in with our staff. We will call for a counselor to come greet your child and walk him/her to the bunk.
How does the Shore Shuttle work?
The Shore Shuttle will take your child to and from camp to Shirat Hayam (formerly known as Beth Judah) at 700 N. Swarthmore Avenue in Ventnor. You can use the shore shuttle any day or you can choose to use it AM, PM or both. This service is an additional fee. You can access the Shore Shuttle form in your Camp In Touch portal or you may contact the camp office at 856-424-4444 x1238 and request a Shore Shuttle form. Once you have checked off the dates that your child will ride the bus, we will remove them from their neighborhood bus on those specific dates and assign them to the Shore Shuttle. Any changes that you need to make must be made in writing.
Health and Medication
What if my child gets sick at camp?
We have registered nurses on site at all times. Should your child need minor medical attention (cuts, headache, TLC, etc.) our nurses will attend to your child and send home in their bag a note letting you know that they visited the nurses' office and what specifically was done (extra popsicle, band-aid, etc.) Should your child become sick at camp (fever, vomiting, etc.) we will first try to contact the parents to come pick up the camper. If we are not able to reach a parent, we will then contact the emergency numbers.
How do I get my child's medication to camp?
Our nurses are available pre-camp to collect medication. Our medication guidelines form lists the dates and times the nurses are at the Katz JCC for medication collection and can be found in your Camp InTouch Portal. Pharmacy labels are required on all prescription medications and non-prescription medications need to be in their original containers with the camper's name clearly written on it. You need to fill out our medication form, which gives us accurate directions for dispensing and written consent allowing our nurses to dispense the medication to your child. If medication needs to be sent once camp has begun, please contact the nurses' office at 609-654-2088 and let them know you are sending in medications. This will allow them to review the dispensing directions with you. These medications should be given to the bus counselor along with the signed medication permission form.
What are the lunch choices for my child?
A kosher lunch is provided each day. Beverages, fruit and snack are also provided. We have a different lunch selection each day. Our menu lists all of our selections each day. Soy butter, sun butter and jelly and bagels and margarine are always available as an alternative to the lunch selection of the day. Yogurt, bagels and cream cheese are available as an additional alternative on non-meat days.
What if my child has food allergies?
Please note that we are a peanut and nut aware facility. As each food allergy is unique and requires different solutions, please contact Beth Segal, Camp Director, 856-424-4444 x1239 to discuss your individual child.
What if my child's birthday is during camp?
You are welcome to send in a snack or cupcakes for your child's birthday. Please call the camp office and speak with your child's division head so they can expect the snack and set up a time for your child's bunk to enjoy them. All snacks sent to camp must be kosher.
Does my child receive instructional swim every day? How will I know how he is progressing?
Yes, every camper receives instructional swim each day lead by our Red Cross certified lifeguards. Campers are grouped by ability during instructional swim. Each week they focus on specific skills and the campers are evaluated at the end of the week to see if they are ready to move up to the next swimming level. Hilltop and Shalom campers (ages 3 – 9) receive a written report from the swim instructor each week detailing each camper's progress.
My child doesn't know how to swim and has a fear of the water. How do you handle that?
First you should know that we have four pools at camp and each is designed for a specific age group. The goal is to have every camper feeling comfortable knowing that they are in a pool that is just their size. The youngest campers swim in a pool that is 1-2′ deep in most areas and has a "deep end" that is 3′. Once the campers realize that it is not above their head, we can successfully get them in the shallow end. If we have a camper who is still not ready to go into the water, we work with them on an individual basis with their counselors using games and activities to make them more comfortable around the pool area. We will contact the parents if a camper will not go in for instructional swim and we work together as a team to help the camper overcome his/her fears. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Aquatics Director directly at 609-654-5192 x130.
Rainy Days
Should I send my child to camp on rainy days?
Our staff is well prepared for rainy days. The specialists, who run the daily activities, visit campers on their pavilions and bring the activities to them. With creative crafts, indoor sports, wacky treasure hunts and other innovative activities, it is always a fun, spirited day for the campers. We typically do not look to take campers off-site on rainy days when it has not been previously scheduled.
How should I dress my child on rainy days?
Rain ponchos are great for camp. Rainy day mornings can also be cool so you may want to pack a sweatshirt. Don't forget to pack the usual swim towels and suits, as a rainy morning doesn't necessarily mean a rainy afternoon.
Staff Recognition
What is an appropriate way to thank the staff that took care of my child this summer?
While tipping is certainly not required, we do suggest that tips are an appropriate way to recognize those staff members who have contributed toward the success of your child's summer experience. Below is a guide that may be helpful.
- Sr. Counselor: $25 – $40
- Bus Counselor: $10 – $20
- Asst. Sr. Counselor: $20 – $30
- Bus Driver: $10 – $15
- Jr. Counselor: $15 – $25
- Counselor Assistant: $10 – $20
You may also wish to consider your child's Swim Instructor and Daycare Staff.
General Information
How should I address any issues that may arise during the summer?
Don't wait to see if the issue goes away, please contact the camp office immediately. If we know about the issue then we can address it quickly.
Can my child bring a friend or relative who is not enrolled to visit camp for the day?
For safety and supervision reasons, campers cannot bring visitors during the camp day, as all children at Camp must be registered for Camp, must be covered under our insurance, and must have signed health forms (with instructions for an emergency). However, the Medford swim club is open on weekends to all JCC members and their guests.

To help diagnose hoarding disorder, mental health providers perform a thorough psychological evaluation. They may ask questions about your acquiring and discarding of items and your emotional well-being. They may also ask your permission to talk with relatives and friends.
Hoarding disorder appears to be more common in people with psychological disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression or anxiety disorder. So your mental health provider may also ask questions to see if you have symptoms of other mental health disorders.
To be diagnosed with hoarding disorder, you must meet criteria listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association. This manual is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Diagnostic criteria for hoarding disorder include:

text: The dogs that I have seen who were "mean" that I had personal experience with were Pointers, Chows and German Shepherds. And one Hound Shepherd mix. I have never had any experience with Pits. My thoughts are that some of the bad things are inherited but some are more the owner's fault. I think that is true of most breeds. As I have said before we raised and bred Chihuahuas for 20 plus years and what I have just said holds true for that breed. We tried to pick our breeding stock always from mild mannered chihuahuas. Puppy buyers have a lot to do with how a dog turns out. We have had people show up out of the blue with their grown chihuahua that they had bought from another breeder. They wanted us to tell them what was wrong with their adult chihuahua who would bite even the owner and their own family. Most were spoiled rotten but some just inherited a lot of bad traits. Some of course were both. I must confess that we did sell one chi who grew up to bite the man of the house when he attempted to spank one of the children in the family. Now, I have to brag on the few pointers that we owned........never had one who bit anyone.

Surprise! These delicious muffins have the flavor of carrot cake with pineapple upside down cake tops.
Moisture-rich baking raisins are an excellent choice for this recipe, because they are higher in moisture than regular raisins they won't draw as much moisture from the batter as regular raisins would.
If you only have regular raisins, they can be used instead of baking raisins. First, plump them up by soaking in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain before using.

LANCASTER, Wis. - "We're not back to normal," said Jen, a Grant County mother. "We don't know if we'll ever have our child that we had three years ago."
Jen and her husband, Kurt, who didn't want News 3 to use their last name, said their son was six years old when he was accused of first-degree sexual assault in 2010.
A criminal complaint reveals the child inappropriately touched a 5-year-old neighbor girl when they were playing "doctor." The complaint alleges the victim's mother witnessed the act. The complaint also states the victim admitted to touching 'D,' too.
The boy is named 'D' in court documents to protect his identity because he's a juvenile.
The charges were dismissed one year later and the couple then filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the prosecutor, alleging Lisa Riniker had gone too far.
The couple's attorney, Christopher Cooper, explained why in an interview with News 3 two years ago.
"A 6-year-old child is unable to intellectually and emotionally associate sexual gratification with the act that 'D' has been accused of committing," said Cooper.
On Friday, a federal Circuit Court judge ruled the DA's decision to charge the boy shows "poor judgment," but poor judgment doesn't violate the Constitution.
In their first television interview on Friday, Jen and Kurt said they're not giving up.
"When you have other counties of social services that looked at it from the outside and said this is ridiculous and should have been put to bed, it makes you wonder what happened behind the scene," said Jen.
She and Kurt allege charges were brought because the victim is the daughter of a former high-ranking Grant County government official. They say they have evidence from their son's doctors proving he's not a sexual predator, but it wasn't introduced because the case was closed due to a consent decree. That's an order that acknowledges some level of guilt. But Kurt said they didn't authorize it and filed the federal suit.
"It's been a nightmare and it's somewhat of a moral victory when the judges say this probably shouldn't have happened, but there's got to be more than 'it probably shouldn't have happened,'" said Kurt. "My goal is to make sure it doesn't happen again."
DA Riniker denied an interview request.
The boy's parents plan to appeal and bring the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Their attorney has 90 days to file.

Second acts are hard enough to deliver successfully in the pantheon of hard rock, so it's surprising then that the Cult, now well into their third go-round, still give their audience exactly what they crave. The brawny licks by guitarist Billy Duffy, conspicuously toned down on 2007's Born into This, are back with a vengeance on Choice of Weapon, the band's ninth studio album. Duffy reaches deep into his grab bag of riffs to echo the classic "She Sells Sanctuary" on "The Wolf," then rains down elegance in "Life > Death" and floors it on the powerful first single "For the Animals." Frontman Ian Astbury is resplendent in all his shamanistic glory, singing about his "wild Indian heart" ("Honey from a Knife") and doing his best Strange Days–era Jim Morrison ("A Pale Horse"). This is the longest the band has had the same lineup, which adds to the overall tightness from start to finish. Astbury infamously declared a few years ago that the Cult was finished making LPs, calling the album a dead format. Good thing he went back on that one — Choice of Weapon is a prime example of why the final nail hasn't yet been pounded into the coffin. And likely never will be.

It's not just Nokia (NOK) stock that's surging today after the company announced the sale of its cellphone business to Microsoft (MSFT) for $7 billion.
Credit markets are taking notice too, with credit default swap spreads on the Finnish phone-maker tightening by more than 300 basis points to 210bps on the news, according to data provider Markit. In CDS-speak, that means its now costs $210,000 to insure $10 million of Nokia debt. Nokia CDS closed at 534bps yesterday, meaning the same insurance would have cost $534,000.
"Even though Nokia's spreads have tightened significantly after trading above 1,000bps as recently as October 2012, this is by far the largest spread drop for this name historically," notes Frans Scheepers, credit analyst at Markit. Scheepers adds that the CDS of the much-larger (and much higher-rated) Microsoft has barely budged on the news, with its CDS spreads remaining flat at 40bps.
Similarly, while Microsoft bonds are generally flat, Nokia bonds are getting a huge bounce. Its 5.375% notes due May 15, 2019 are by far the most actively traded issue in the junk-bond market today, according to online bond trading platform MarketAxess. The notes, which are rated B1 by Moody's and B+ by Standard & Poor's, are up 9.55 points, or cents on the dollar, to trade at 102.55 cents on the dollar now, trimming their yield to 4.855%.

Face it. Catching is not a deep position right now in MLB. We certainly can move 1 or even 2, but we'll be increadible thin. Just seems to me with all these young catchers we'd be smart to get a young catcher that can be here 4-5 years with these guys and grow. Even if we have to pay up a little. I'm just not sure there is much better out there available then who we have. I have to admit. I don't know our AAA or AA catchers so I can't really comment.

Online aid available for foreign policy archives
Posted January 30, 2007; 01:10 p.m.
The Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library has completed its arrangement of the records of the Council on Foreign Relations, the influential American foreign policy organization, and has made an electronic finding aid available on its website for researchers.
The majority of the council's records were transferred to the Mudd Library for research in 1998, a major acquisition for the University's collection of public policy papers. Noncurrent records of the council are deposited at Mudd Library annually. Currently, the collection totals nearly 400 linear feet -- or 800 boxes -- and includes records related to the inner workings of the council as well as the minutes of off-the-record meetings and study groups.
The Council on Foreign Relations was founded in 1921 by businessmen, bankers and lawyers who were determined to keep the United States engaged in the world. Today the council's members aim to provide insights into international affairs and to develop new ideas for U.S. foreign policy, particularly national security and foreign economic policy, through study groups, roundtables and publications. The council publishes Foreign Affairs, which has printed some of the most important articles about world affairs over the past several decades.
Since the original deposit in 1998, many archivists have contributed to the arrangement and description of the council's records. In 2005, the Princeton University Library's Department of Rare Books and Special Collections hired project archivist Jennifer Cole to focus on finalizing the arrangement and descriptive work with the council's records. Cole built upon the work of previous archivists, developing 13 permanent series of records focused on departments and functions of the council.
The Mudd Manuscript Library recently has begun a digital audio transfer project that will make recordings of selected council meetings dating back to 1953 available online in digital format. Funding for this project was provided by more than 20 members of the council and the John Foster and Janet Avery Dulles Fund.
Further information on the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library can be obtained at http://www.princeton.edu/mudd.

April 1982 We Drive The new Diesel Chevy Blazer - Trail's EndPosted in Features on June 20, 2014 Comment (0)
In 1982, GM rolled out the Detroit Diesel-designed 6.2L diesel engine, and they bolted it in various trucks and SUVs as an option. That same year, you could purchase a Commodore 64 computer with 64 KB of RAM. Or you could opt for the Apple III computer with 128 KB of RAM, made by a company owned by some guy named Jobs.
What did the 6.2L diesel and the Commodore and Apple computers have in common? Well, they were cutting-edge for the time, and buyers went haywire over 'em.
We were thumbing through the April '82 issue of Four Wheeler where we found an interesting story about the then-new Chevy K5 Blazer equipped with the 6.2L diesel engine. We wrote that the Blazer wasn't changed much from the 1981 model, so obviously the engine was the big news. This diesel engine was groundbreaking for GM. The previous 5.7L diesel, found in GM cars and two-wheel-drive trucks, was a reworked gasoline engine, whereas the 6.2L was built from the ground-up for truck use. It was available in four-wheel-drive models, too. The non-turbocharged engine had a power rating of 130 hp at 3,600 rpm and a torque rating of 240 lb-ft at 2,000 rpm. Of these numbers, we wrote, "Both figures are impressive for a diesel, and they are reflected in excellent power and outstanding performance. We can't stress that enough." We went on to note that the diesel also returned good fuel mileage. "But the kicker is that at the same time, it delivers fuel economy exceeding the EPA ratings of similar size gasoline engines by about 25 percent." During our testing, the diesel-powered Blazer returned a maximum of 26.46 mpg on-road and a maximum of 18.72 mpg off-road. The Blazer we tested was equipped with the four-speed overdrive automatic transmission and optional 3.42:1 axle gearing. "With the power this diesel has with a 3.42 axle, we can imagine what it would do with a set of 4.10 or 4.56 gears," we said.
"During our testing, the diesel-powered Blazer returned a maximum of 26.46 mpg on-road and a maximum of 18.72 mpg off-road."
However, "Good things don't come cheap," we went on to say. The diesel engine option cost $1,334, and the diesel engine equipment package (we weren't sure exactly what it contained) cost $1,125. Add to that the 3.42:1-ratio cogs ($35), the four-speed auto tranny ($637), and other combined options, and our Blazer's as-tested price was $9,874.20.
By today's standards, the 6.2L engine specs are woeful for a light-truck diesel engine. Compared to GM's current Duramax, the 6.2L engine had 205 percent less horsepower and 219 percent less torque. However, the engine was incredibly simple, it returned pretty darn good fuel mileage, and it was propelling a truck with a pair of solid axles and a respectable 27-degree approach angle. Sounds like a combination we could actually live with even in 2014. We'll pass on the antiquated Commodore 64 and the Apple III computer, though.

Myasthenia gravis during pregnancy
Shahnaz Akhtar Chaudhry, MD, Biruthvie Vignarajah and Gideon Koren, MD
December 2012
One of my patients who has been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (MG) is planning pregnancy. Her MG is controlled with medications. Can her condition or her medications adversely affect her pregnancy?
The course of MG during pregnancy is unpredictable, but there is no evidence that MG can adversely affect pregnancy outcomes. Examination of most of the medications used for symptom control has so far shown reassuring results. Prepregnancy thymectomy might decrease the need for medications during pregnancy. The newborn should be carefully monitored for signs of transitory MG.
Une de mes patientes a reçu un diagnostic de myasthénie grave (MG) et elle planifie une grossesse. Sa MG est contrôlée par pharmacothérapie. Son état ou ses médicaments peuvent-ils avoir des effets défavorables sur sa grossesse?
L'évolution de la MG durant la grossesse est imprévisible, mais il n'existe pas de données probantes à l'effet que la MG puisse influencer négativement l'issue de la grossesse. Les résultats des études sur la plupart des médicaments utilisés pour le contrôle des symptômes sont jusqu'à présent rassurants. Une thymectomie avant la grossesse pourrait réduire la nécessité de prendre des médicaments durant la grossesse. Il faudra surveiller attentivement le nouveau-né pour détecter tout signe de MG transitoire.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting nearly 1 million individuals worldwide. 1 It is twice as common among women as it is among men, 2 diagnosed typically in the second and third decades of life. Myasthenia gravis is characterized by muscle weakness caused by impaired function of the acetylcholine (ACh) receptors at the neuromuscular junction 1, 3 as a result of autoantibodies acting against the ACh receptors. 3,4 Hyperplasia and tumours of the thymus can cause the abnormal production of these autoantibodies. 4 Diagnosis of MG is made following clinical and physical examination and is confirmed by serum immunoassays to measure autoantibody levels. 3,4
Effect of pregnancy on MG
Owing to its high prevalence in women of childbearing age, and because it does not affect fertility in women, 5 it is not uncommon to see pregnant women with MG. The effect of pregnancy on MG varies considerably among women and even between pregnancies in the same woman. 2 During pregnancy, symptoms worsened for 41% of women with MG, while 30% showed no change, and 29% had remission of symptoms. 6 Improvement of symptoms during the second and third trimesters has been attributed to normal immunosuppressive changes in late pregnancy. 3 Exacerbations of symptoms are most likely to occur in the first trimester or following delivery. 6 The risk of maternal mortality is highest during the first year after diagnosis of MG, with the risk being minimal 7 years after diagnosis. 5 Thus, women with MG should delay pregnancy for at least 2 years after disease onset. 5,6 Despite these considerations, pregnancy has not been shown to adversely affect MG in the long term. 7
Effect of MG on pregnancy
In general, MG does not have any severe adverse effects on pregnancy. 2 Reports do not suggest an increased risk of spontaneous abortions or premature births for women with MG. 6,8 In contrast, it is possible for infants to develop transient neonatal MG. This happens in 10% to 20% of cases owing to placental transfer of immunoglobulin G antibodies in the second and third trimesters. 7 The neonate typically develops symptoms 2 to 4 days after birth, including respiratory problems, muscle weakness, feeble cry, poor sucking, and ptosis, necessitating close monitoring. 3,5,7 This condition usually reverses itself after 3 weeks 5 without complication, owing to degradation of the antibodies derived from the mother. 3
Mode of delivery
As the uterus is made up of smooth muscle, it is not affected by presence of ACh receptor antibodies, and vaginal delivery is recommended for women with MG. 3, 7 Assistance might be required in the second stage with the help of forceps or vacuum extraction, as striated muscles are involved during this stage and these muscles can be affected by the ACh receptor antibodies. 2, 7 Cesarean section should be performed only for obstetric indications, as surgery can be stressful for women with MG. 3, 7 Epidural anesthesia is recommended during labour and delivery 5, 7 because neuromuscular drugs and narcotics can potentiate ACh receptor antibodies' effects on the neuromuscular junction.
Optimal management of MG for pregnant women should involve obstetricians and neurologists. Nearly 15% of individuals with MG have thymomas, 1 and about 60% to 80% present with hyperplastic thymus. 2 Thymectomy has become a standard treatment protocol for patients with MG and thymomas or hyperplasia of the thymus. 1,2 Five years after thymectomy, complete remission of MG has been seen in nearly 45% of patients. 9 During pregnancy, women who have not undergone thymectomy present with higher incidences of exacerbations when compared with those who have undergone thymectomy. 7 Furthermore, infants born to those who had undergone thymectomy had less risk of developing neonatal MG. 8 Thus, women with MG planning pregnancy should be advised to undergo thymectomy before becoming pregnant 8.
Pharmacologic treatment for MG is usually centred on increasing the levels of ACh and decreasing the production of auto-antibodies. Pharmacologic treatment should not be stopped during pregnancy; however, it might need to be altered depending on disease severity or exacerbations. 2
Acetylcholine esterase inhibitors, such as pyridostigmine and neostigmine, are frequently used in treatment of MG. 1-3 Although data regarding acetylcholine esterase inhibitor use during pregnancy are limited, the available evidence does not suggest an increased risk of malformation or other adverse pregnancy outcomes. There was one case report of microcephaly attributed to pyridostigmine use. 10 However, the mother had been taking doses 4 to 8 times the recommended dose. Further, in a response to this report, some authors suggested that placental transfer of maternal antibodies, not the pyridostigmine, might have caused the fetal anomalies. 11 Their claim is supported by studies that show safe use of pyridostigmine by women with MG during pregnancy. 5, 8, 10
Corticosteroids such as prednisone and its biologically active compound prednisolone are commonly used in MG. 11 A Motherisk meta-analysis determined an increased odds ratio (OR) of oral cleft with corticosteroids (OR = 3.69, 95% CI 2.15 to 6.32). Although the summary OR of cohort studies was not significant (OR = 2.74, 95% CI 0.96 to 7.82), the cohort studies showed a clustering of cleft palate when compared with the controls. 12,13 Women with MG who are prescribed corticosteroids must be informed before conception of the increased risks of oral clefts. It is important to note that the formation of the palate is complete in the fetus by week 12. 14 Thus, one option is to commence corticosteroid therapy after week 12.
Azathioprine (AZA) has not been associated with increased rates of congenital abnormalities. 15 However, there is evidence of possible intrauterine growth retardation and infants with low birth weight, and concern about immunologic changes. 15,16 Despite these reports, it is difficult to determine whether AZA is the sole cause of these adverse outcomes or whether they are due to the underlying maternal condition or to other drugs used in combination with AZA to treat the mother. 17 In addition, initial findings from an ongoing study by Motherisk assessing neurodevelopment in children exposed to AZA in utero do not suggest significant effects on IQ compared with unexposed children. 18
Although cyclosporine has been shown to cross the placenta readily, there has been no evidence that it is associated with increased risk of severe complications or malformations. 3, 11 A recent Motherisk study found that renal transplant patients who were taking cyclosporine therapy had a higher rate of preterm delivery, which was associated with lower birth weight in the neonates of these women. 19 However, assessment of long-term neurodevelopment outcomes in cyclosporine-exposed children did not reveal any significant differences compared with unexposed children. 19 Hence, cyclosporine therapy can be used during pregnancy in which the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus. 20,21
Rituximab readily crosses the placenta at about 16 weeks' gestation. 21 To date, there have not been any reports of major malformations attributed to rituximab exposure. 22 There were some cases of decreased B-cell counts in infants born to women using rituximab, but this condition resolved within 6 months. 22
Mycophenolate mofetil (MFM) is a second-line drug for treatment of mild forms of MG. 1 Recently MFM was reclassified by the Food and Drug Administration as a class D drug, indicating that there is evidence of teratogenicity in human fetuses. 23 It is associated with first-trimester miscarriage and structural malformations of the ears and jaw, cleft lip and palate, as well as hypoplastic fingers and toenails.
In addition to these drugs, medications that exacerbate symptoms of MG by potentiating the effect of ACh receptor antibodies are contraindicated in patients with MG. These drugs include neuromuscular blocking agents (eg, magnesium sulfate), antiarrhythmic drugs (eg, quinidine), and local anesthetics (eg, esters), as well as antibiotics from the aminoglycoside, quinolone, and macrolide classes. 27
There is no evidence that MG can adversely affect pregnancy outcomes, and most of the medications used for symptom control appear to be relatively safe during pregnancy (except for MFM, used as second-line therapy). Prepregnancy thymectomy might decrease the need for medications during pregnancy. The newborn should be carefully monitored for signs of transitory MG.

Enchanted snow is a magical imitation of snow. It shares most of the properties of snow (density, colour, shape etc.), however, unlike snow, it is warm and dry. It is usually used as a decoration around Christmas in the wizarding world, probably in the same way Muggles use tinsel or baubles.
Enchanted snow fell from the Great Hall's enchanted ceiling in the Christmas of 1992.
12 Grimmauld Place was covered in heaps of Enchanted Snow in the Christmas of 1995.
The Christmas tree at the reception area in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries was decorated with enchanted snow.

Beans cooked with tomatoes and spinach provide a perfect topping for your pasta dinner that's ready in 30 minutes - perfect if you love Mediterranean cuisine.
In Mediterranean countries such as Italy, dried beans were once known as "poor man's meat." The nutrients, flavor and versatility of beans have elevated them to a common staple in well-stocked kitchens, whether in dried or canned form.
An easy way to cut back on the sodium in recipes is to use no-salt-added canned tomatoes. You save about 280 milligrams of sodium per serving in this recipe by using them.
Serve this flavorful pasta with crusty rolls or Italian bread slices. Pineapple or orange slices and iced tea completes the menu.

And I feel fine…
I can't seem to get that REM song out of my head today… I wonder why?
In the wake of all the hubbub surrounding today being the end of the world I thought it interesting when my youngest son asked the question about whats going to happen. I told him that we really don't have anything to worry about. If its the end, its the end and you just have to justify your life to yourself and your God. Now not to get into the whole "End times" thing… but really.. I'm certainly not going to worry about something that I have little or no control over.
OK.. here comes the point…
Live your life to the fullest and never let a day go by that you regret.
In 1987 I lost my little brother to a tragic accident. I had the opportunity go through the entire process of dealing with that loss. And knowing what I know now and looking back on the decisions that I made then.. no regrets to live my life every day like it was my last. Now I can honestly say that I have not been able to daily.. but the older I get.. the more important this simple philosophy becomes.
Today I am helping with my sons Relay for Life team. We are heading off to a fundraiser breakfast and then an all night relay at the High School. There has been way too much cancer in my family.. and if this event does something to help, well, I'm in! A lot of people would only read it passing in the paper. But this is important.. to me and my son… and so we participate.
Just like Scouting, its important to all those young men and women that come and go through the program. We teach them life skills and attitudes that will last them a life time. The things that we teach will eventually result in citizens that make ethical choices throughout their life times. This will leave a lasting impact on what they do in life and how they live it. I hope that they will live ev every day like it is their last too. With no regrets.
So if it all ends today… I will see all you great Scouters on Gilwell.. the Happy Land. You will find me there!
I take all this "end of the world" stuff with a grain of salt… so I am not giving up my quest for better health…
Here is todays healthy tip: #100daysStrong
Balance your food choices – don't eat too much of any one thing.
You don't have to give up foods like hamburgers, french fries and ice cream to eat healthy. You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron and calcium from a variety of foods. Balancing food choices from the Food Guide Pyramid and checking out the Nutrition Facts Panel on food labels will help you get all these nutrients.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
My 6'6" four piece Superfine is the go to rod for small stream fishing as well. I a 6-6 3wt St Croix Avid, which is club compaired to the Orvis rod. It is the only Orvis rod I own but man it is is nice.
If you are well healed, Sage TXL rods are real nice casters as well. The fly shop I frequent is a Sage dealer & he lets me use his 00 wt txl 7 footer demo rod from time to time. What a sweet brookie rod. (I have pulled in a 14 incher with it no problem). I imagine the 3 & 4 wts cast just as nice as the Superfines.
I imagine the rest of the makers make a slower action 3 or 4 wt that would fit the bill nicely as well. These are the three rods I have experience with
|I use the T&T xl4 3wt. It is just right for small streams and ponds in Ga. It will cast dry flies poppers and small bead heads. Pair it with an abel tr1 and you have somehting to treasure for life. At 7'6" and 4 pieces it is very packable. Just what the doctor ordered.
this rod is on the pricey side but it casts very nice
try the sage txl series
Here in Arizona most every stream is small and brushy...so small rods are a fact of flyfishing life if you're not on a lake. Its a ton of fun to catch even 1/2 to 1 lb trout on these rods!
I would like to second what Teflon said about the Orvis Superfines, they are wonderful rods. Orvis has several models and one that will fit your needs. The slower action makes them deadly accurate casters up close. I wish I hadn't sold my 6'6" 2 wt, 2 piece Superfine!
But I now have two small 3 weights that work beautifully as well. The first is a G. Loomis GL3, 6'6", 3 weight, 2-piece that is simply great for small brush-filled streams or fly fishing for bluegills and crappie. Unfortunately, G. Loomis has discontinued this size. They can be found on ebay however. I have a now discontinued Ross Colorado size '0' click and pawl reel on it which looks great and compliments the rod perfectly.
The other rod I HIGHLY recommend is the G. Loomis Metolius, 7 ft, 3 wt, 3-piece "Presentation" action fly rod. I also have one of these and it is awesome. It casts beautifully to about 40-50 ft, or perhaps a bit more, but is superbly accurate at close distances and a real delight to use. I love this rod! A bonus is it's beautiful to look at. I have an Orvis CFO I disc drag reel on it (drag not needed however, especially at this weight) that is a perfect match. By the way, I recommend using the smallest reels on 3 wts, even though the reels may be rated for 0-3 wts. They balance better and usually will hold up to 50 yds of 20 lb backing with a WF3F line, which is MORE than enough. If you can find a tiny click and pawl, it makes for a perfect match with these tiny rods. The "clicker" reels are getting tougher to find, but you can still buy light ones from TFO (TFO I) and you can still find CFO and Ross Colorado clickers on ebay. Of course, Hardy still makes them, but theirs are really expensive.
Well, good luck, hopefully you will find the setup you desire!
Zugbugz - Arizona
I love my rainshadow 6'-6" 2wt I fish a lot of small streams in Pa and it does a great job. Nice mid flex that will let you do a nice roll cast but still have enough to throw a 40' line as well(althoughht that almost never happens). The only thing I can say about lenth is if I'm fishing small brushy streams I will always go for the 6' before the 8' I seem spend alot more time with my fly on the water instead of my tip in the brush that way. But thats just my two cents. Good luck it's alot of fun and there are some real bruiser's in some of those little fished streams.
|A 7'-7'6" pack rod for a 3 or 4 wt would be perfect. Just get a rod with the type of action you like and within your budget in this size range. Longer than 7'6" is tough to cast with when there is brush overhead, besides, longer is not needed since you are not going to be casting very far. Me, I have a 7'6" 4wt for fishing the small brushy streams.
How much are you looking to spend?
By far the best small stream/small fish rig I've ever used is my Orvis Superfine. It's landed everything from 3" brookies to 4 lb smallmouth. The full flex blank allows you to cast tiny flies and short distances easily since the rod loads so easily, but it still has enough power to cast big streamers long distances. I can't say enough good things about it. They have a bunch of Superfine rods that would meet your needs. They have a 4 wt 7 ft 4 pc rod that would be great pack rod if you want to go to those mountain lakes. I have the 7'6 4 wt 2 pc.
|Don't forget that with a long stick 8-10ft you can high stick small streams very effectively, and still have enough stick to roll cast larger pools. I used my 8'6" Orvis TLS in North Carolina. I was glad that I had the longer stick as I came across some good size pools that required some tricky casting. I don't think that I could have done as well with drag free drifts with a 7' stick.
tiny outfit for small streams
Eventually I'd like to get a small outfit for fishing small brush lined streams that yeild mostly 6-12 inch trout and the rare 14 incher. Possibly I would pack it into an occasional high mountain lake for dry fly fishing on a really calm day for about the same size trout. I know nothing about outfits in the #3 size give or take a size range but it sure seems like it might be fun to use one.

Ultimate TacoPosted in Ultimate Adventure: 2004 on September 14, 2004 Comment (0)
Ah, it's that time again. It seems like just yesterday we were building a giant red, heavy, Chevy Avalanche for last year's Ultimate Adventure trip, and now this year's trip is coming around the bend, and we're hoping to head out with a little less bulk.
We know many of you are wondering what ever became of the Ultimate Avalanche after the story "Avalanche Goes Home" (Dec. 2003). We promise that within the next few months we'll give you a complete rundown of its current state, but for now let us introduce this year's project, Ultimate Taco.
We decided that we wanted to try something smaller this year. Though the 9,000-pound Avalanche made a big impression (pun intended), we decided that a mini-truck would be an interesting direction for 2004, and when it comes to mini-trucks, Toyotas make some of the best (our 1986 Toy Clampy just can't be killed), so we decided on a Toyota Tacoma. Plus, we thought we'd try to keep this year's rig a little more within reach of the average Joe or Jane. We'll still be pushing the envelope, but others have tried almost everything we will do to the rig, and hopefully this will keep us in the truck and not under it with wrenches in hand.
Finally, our biggest goal is to keep the weight down, so much so that Pw and I have been restricted to just a few Coronas and tacos a week and a healthy regimen of sit-ups (I think we can both do about 15 now before we need to rest with a cold one and some chips). With some simple, strong, and lightweight upgrades we should be able to head down the trail for UA and have a really good time wheeling.
This month we address some lower gearing for our 2001 Tacoma, but tune in next month when we tear into the suspension and start building some protection.

Care of Your Blanket
Blankets should be cleaned annually. First, remove excess dirt with a brush or hose, then wash by hand or on a delicate cool water cycle. Use very mild soap. Allow to drip dry. Do not put blankets in the dryer as this will damage the waterproof coating and void any warranties.

Hi, I'm interested on a bit of theory about the best methods of optimization for OpenGL 3.0 (where a lot of function became deprecated).
On my current 2D framework, every sprite has own program with own values inside the uniform. Every sprite is draw separately and, now that I switched from 2.1 to 3.0, every sprite has own matrix Projection and View. Now my goal is to batch most vertexes possible and these are some ideas:
1) Use only one program for everything. The projection matrix is one, i can group the vertexes and send via glVertexAttribArray the values for shader and draw everything with one call. The problem is the model view matrix, that should be one for every vertex and this isn't the thing that I want because every sprite has own matrix.
2) Continue to use various shader. The projection matrix is shared between programs (how can I do it?), every sprite has own shader with own model view matrix and uniform values. The problem here is that I need to switch the program between sprite draws.
None of these ideas work as I expected so now I'm here to ask you what is it the most efficient way to batch drawings in OpenGL 3.0.

ISA awarded me a 2013-2014 scholarship to help fund my education. I would not have been able to keep going to school if I had not received it. So, I want to give thanks to the many people of the ISA who work on securing the future of the organization just as the original founders had. ISA was and is forged and founded from true honesty and integrity that you will not find in to many other professions.
