New Delhi: With the future of the country's boxers hanging in balance, Olympic medallist Vijender Kumar has expressed his willingness to step in and clean the mess.
The boxers are suffering with the Indian Boxing Federation (IABF) serving suspension slapped by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) and the sports ministry.
Though the Beijing Olympic medallist is not clear how he can chip in to sort out the matter, he is willing to do his bit to get the ban revoked.
"I would like to get the ban revoked to make it possible for the Indian boxers to represent the country in international events. If I get a chance, I would want to be involved with the Indian boxing federation and help to clean up the mess," Vijender said at the sidelines if an event here on Tuesday.
The dilly-dallying of the IABF in dealing with the world body following the suspension seems to have made Vijender change his stance over the issue.
In an earlier interview with MAIL TODAY, Vijender had said that his job was to train and it was for the federation to come up with a solution, but his current statement shows his desperation to get the ban revoked as soon as possible and return to action.
The world body suspended the IABF in December, citing malpractices in election and the International Olympic Committee's ban on the IOA. The AIBA, however, allowed the Indian boxers to participate in a few events but banned them in January, after Sports Authority of India selected and sent a junior girls team for an international event.
The ban, however, has not deterred Vijender from training at the national camp in Patiala, where he is preparing with an eye on the World Championships in October. But the uncertainty over the participation of boxers in international meets is playing on his mind. "I have been training and it is frustrating when you think about the goal and the uncertainty."
"I hope things get sorted out soon."
"I will probably go to Cuba for training in June or July," he said.
The 27-year-old said that the ministry, the IOA and the federations should involve sportspersons in decision making for the smooth running of sports in the country.
"IOA, federations and the sports ministry should involve sportspersons in the decision making," he said.

Special genes inserted into crop plants have a way of leaking into the environment. That much scientists know for sure. What they're less certain about is what effect those genes have on plants growing in the wild.
Andrew Stephenson is interested in answering that question. He's a plant ecologist at Penn State University. Plant breeders put things called transgenes into plants to give them desirable properties such as disease resistance.
"People were concerned that when the transgene escapes into the wild populations, it will provide a fitness advantage," says Stephenson.

- Now this one I had never heard of. Use plain 'ol vegetable oil to help remove a splinter. Soak the area in some vegetable oil for a few minutes. It will help soften the skin giving you a better chance to get that pesky splinter out with your handy dandy tweezers!
- Did you ever have a stack of glasses that seemed to be super-glued together? Well just pour a little veg oil around the rim of the bottom glass and watch how easily they will come apart.
- Moisten that cracked skin on your feet. At night before you go to bed, rub some veg oil on your feet and put on a pair of socks. You will be pleasantly surprised when you wake up how soft your footsies are!
- Furniture polish. You can make your own polish with veg oil. Mix 1/2 cup of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of veg oil and add mixture to a spray bottle. Use it as you would pledge!
- Remove pesky stickers. If you need to remove a label from a glass jar or just a sticker in general. Soak the sticker in veg oil for a few minutes and watch it miraculously slide off.

Trades could be hard to find this year
Trades could be hard to find this year
Nearly three months are in the books, and a quick scan of the standings frequently lures the fans of teams in contention to wait with bated breath for the kind of blockbuster trades that will make their summers that much sunnier.
Alas, it could be a long wait. In fact, it might be a wait unrewarded.
For a variety of reasons, the trade market simply isn't what it used to be. So, as was the case last summer, we're far less likely to see a deal that moves the needle nationally -- Mark Teixeira to the Braves in a six-player deal on the July 31 non-waiver deadline, for instance -- than we are to see a series of below-the-radar swaps.
Think catcher Rob Bowen being moved from the Padres to the Cubs for fellow backstop Michael Barrett last June 20, then being sent to Oakland for catcher Jason Kendall three weeks later.
Or outfielder Kenny Lofton going from the Rangers to the Indians for a Minor League catcher a few days before the July 31 deadline.
Or the classic salary dump that was the Giants shipping Matt Morris' $9.5 million salary for 2008 to the Pirates for fourth outfielder Rajai Davis at the deadline.
Not exactly the kinds of moves that make a fan base demand to know when postseason tickets will be made available. Of the aforementioned six players, only Bowen remains with the team he was with after last year's deadline. Morris has retired, and Lofton is unemployed.
What's the holdup? Let's start at the top -- both of the standings and within front offices across both leagues.
And as July approaches, 24 of 30 clubs were no more than 8 1/2 games out.
"Take a look at the standings," said White Sox general manager Kenny Williams, one of about 20 GMs with whom MLB.com recently spoke in an effort to break down the various trade-market influences. "There's a lot of parity in both leagues, not to mention the fact that there are teams contending that perhaps didn't expect to be in this position of contending. There also are teams on the bottom who expect to contend in the second half.
"That combination will compress the market in such a way we haven't seen before."
Ah, the "P-word." Parity. It's long been a dream of baseball's big-wigs, and consider it a dream achieved.
The Rays, who had the worst record in the game a year ago, have been at or near the top of the AL East all spring. The no-name Marlins have made names for themselves in the big-name NL East. And the revamped A's, who conducted what everybody outside general manager Billy Beane's inner circle viewed as stunning fire sale over the winter, have been quite warm in the AL West.
"Parity, as much as anything, makes it difficult to move players at the trade deadline," Braves GM Frank Wren said. "You've got so many teams now that are unwilling to give up."
Adds Indians GM Mark Shapiro: "The reality is there's a tremendous amount of parity in the game. There are not a lot of teams clearly out of it."
Even teams that appear to be out of it don't think they are.
"The teams that have come on late and made a late playoff push has made it hard for teams to say that they are truly out of the race in July," said Pirates GM Neal Huntington, whose club was 11 out in the NL Central as of Wednesday morning. "As a result, teams will be more hesitant to let go of players if the possibility is still there for a late push."
The reigning NL champion Rockies were 19 games under .500 and eight games back in the NL West as of Wednesday morning. Perhaps emboldened by their white-hot finish to the 2007 regular season, they're far from ready to wave the white flag, shop their pricier wares and start re-tooling for 2009.
"We have an idea of when that point comes, but I will tell you we're not at that point yet," said Colorado GM Dan O'Dowd, whose banged-up club is currently trying to make do without infielders Troy Tulowitzki and Clint Barmes and made due for a stretch without outfielders Matt Holliday and Brad Hawpe. "Collectively, we've played about as badly as we can play in every area, and our injuries are no excuse for how we've played. But I do think there is a run in this club."
And the Rox know a little something about runs. See: September/October, 2007.
"I don't have a crystal ball or else I'd never make a mistake in this job and I'd be the best general manager there ever was, but I don't believe in flukes," O'Dowd said. "I believe we were a good ballclub last year. I believe there's too much talent and there's too much experience in big games and pressure situations for us not to collectively put things together and go on a run."
Another undeniable market influence is the increasing value placed on younger players. A trend started more than a decade ago with low-revenue teams locking up some semblance of cost certainty by signing their blossoming first- and second-year studs to contract extensions that took them through their arbitrations years.
Now that trend has expended to the point that teams are signing such stars in the making earlier and for more years, often through what would have been their first forays into free agency. See: Longoria, Evan.
"My view," said Dodgers GM Ned Colletti, "is that there are fewer impact players available because many of the impact players are locked up."
Many of the GMs who chimed in felt the market might pick up as the non-waiver deadline draws closer. Some clearly -- very clearly -- didn't.
"It's getting tougher to make trades," said Reds GM Walt Jocketty. "I get a sense in talking with clubs that a lot of them are frustrated with the way they're playing. The time to put the club together is in the offseason. It's very hard to make adjustments during the season.
"I don't know if it will be any different this year or not. There are more clubs that are underachieving than what we've seen in the past."
Added Melvin: "There is no market. It's still too early for any of that."

Bien H.wrote a review of The North Face Sideways Beanie - Boys' on February 19, 2011
I thought this was really adorable on my son, but I gave it a 3 stars because it wasn't very functional as it didn't cover his ears. But so much cuter than a regular beanie. But since it's a one size fits all, I returned it since I couldn't get a bigger size to cover his ears. He is 8 yrs old in case you are wondering about the fit !

Sri Dhanvantari – Centre for Ayurveda and Wellness in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours, and slip away to an oasis of quietude and relaxation. Traditional spa and Ayurveda treatments, performed by highly-trained, experienced therapists, await you directly in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg. So come on in, treat yourself to a break from all of the hectic sightseeing you've been doing, and recharge your batteries.
Ayurveda, literally translated, means "knowledge of life," and is the oldest medical science on record. Its practices were first put down in writing more than 5000 years ago, and are still employed frequently today, particularly in countries such as India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Ayurveda doctrine also enjoys great popularity in Germany; the massages with warm scented oils, for instance, are often used to relax and rejuvenate the body.
During a city break here in Berlin, when you're confronted with countless new sensations, impressions, and experiences, it's all too easy to put rest and relaxation on the back burner. For this reason, it's important to take a deep breath and restore calm once in a while, so that you can head back out on your voyage of discovery through Berlin with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
In Prenzlauer Berg, on the scenic Husemanstraße, you'll find the Sri Dhanvantari Center for Ayurveda and Wellness. This small center is lovingly decorated, and attracts visitors with its warm, almost home-like atmosphere. As you enter, exotic scents of oils and teas waft through the air, and you'll have no trouble leaving the mad rush of the city at the door.
And in case you're still not convinced, we've thought of a few more reasons why you, as a Berlin visitor, should be sure to pay a visit to the Centre:
- The location in Prenzlauer Berg. We can't think of a better way to wind down after a long stroll through this most popular of Berlin's neighborhoods than to indulge in a relaxing and rejuvenating massage or spa treatment.
- The highly-skilled therapists have up to 18 years of experience, guaranteeing that all treatments they provide will leave you in a state of true relaxation and bliss.
- Wide and diverse selection of massages and beauty treatments at fair prices. You won't have to pay for any unnecessary gimmicks here.
- The home-like and warm-hearted atmosphere. You won't be treated like you're just another name in an appointment book.
- Offers also available for two persons and for children.
- No shower facilities
- Please make all appointments in advance, by phone
Massages and spa treatments
All massages are conducted in private rooms on heated loungers. Afterwards, you can also indulge in an Ayurvedic steam bath.
Abhyanga /Full-body massage
Duration: 60 or 90 minutes
The entire body, including head, face, throat, neck, and decollete, will be massaged in both prone and supine positions, using warm scented oils. The rhythmic flow of this massage is designed to stimulate the metabolism, as well as the lymphatic and nervous systems, thereby encouraging the regeneration of tissue and organs.
Synchronized Abhyanga /Full-body massage, 4-handed
Duration: 60 minutes
Based on ancient Indian tradition, this treatment is carried out by two therapists (4-handed), who massage simultaneously, in a rhythmically synchronized fashion. With smoothly gliding, yet forceful movements, the entire body will be lovingly massaged in the prone and supine positions, with warm scented oils.
Swedana /Ayurvedic steam bath
Duration: 20 minutes
Reclining steam bath with Ayurvedic bouquet garni. Designed to purge, warm, and detoxify the body. A traditional practice following all massage treatments.
Shirodhara / the royal oil treatment
Duration: 60 minutes
Prior to the pouring of the oil, the proper mood is set through a thorough, soothing, and relaxing face, head, decollete, throat, and neck massage. Afterward, warm oil is poured steadily and rhythmically across the forehead, instantly relieving all tension.
Spa Treatment Day
Duration: 4-5 hours
With the Spa Treatment Day, you can indulge in a full-body massage with warm scented oils, a thorough head and facial massage, as well as a cozy reclining steam bath, with specially-selected Ayurvedic herbs. During the breaks between sessions, you'll be served a fruit plate, Ayurvedic sweets, and teas. And for the grand finale, you can spoil yourself with the royal Shirodhara oil treatment.
Beauty Treatment Day
Duration: 3-4 hours
Today, it's all about you. You'll be pampered with a 90-minute full-body massage and a bouquet garni steam bath.

Installing A/C in old house - Conventional vs. High Velocity
I need advice regarding two options to retrofit air conditioner in our 80 year old house (no existing ducts). Here's a bit about our house - 2200 sq ft, 3 bedrooms and office on 2nd floor, half attic space is a finished bedroom and half is unfinished (plan to leave it this way), basement is unfinished (we'd like to make a game room there in the future).
1) two conventional systems - one coming from the attic for 2nd and 3rd floor and one coming from the basement for 1st floor
2) one high velocity system - coming from attic to 2nd and 3rd floor and then through 2nd floor closets to the 1st floor
Price wise the 2nd option is 2K more (that's not a big deal if it means a much better solution). Our concerns include the following:
a) noise level inside the house
b) noise coming from outside units
c) size of outside units since we are thinking of hiding them behind our bushes in the front yard
d) electricity (we have 100 amps service) 5) risk of poor install leading to terrible problems down the line
e) look in our house, how it will fit with our old radiators / hardwood floors / original house details
f) we like the idea of two zones with conventional
Worth noting is that we've also considered mini split units but ruled them out already for a number of reasons.
Thanks in advance for all your advice!
Why did you rule out the mini splits?
They would able able to address most of your concerns with your install.
I have one that I can not even hear running, uses about 1/3 the power of a reguler unit.
There's going to be a lot of work trying to hide all the duct work.
Old homes deserve TLC because they are the heritage of the neighborhood and the country.
'Nuff said.
You favorite is a good choice, but the hi-speed system would be be less invasive as only small opening in ceiling are required with a central return for each system.
You will need to to increase the service capacity...100 amps won't cut it.
Not trying to disagree, but I've seen them with the ducts hidden in the crown mouding with just a small round hole and LG makes one with a flat panel that you can put a picture on.
Were not there to see what the OP has to work around, but all of the 100 plus year old houses I've worked on that had retrofitted HVAC systems added had duct work running running everywhere exposed that had to be covered up to hide it.
When he said only 100 amps. that was my first thought. Old wiring, under sized wires.
Possible lack of insulation in the walls. Some of the many joys of owning an old house.
I'm not a HVAC guy by any stretch, just sharing what I have seen before dozens of times.
Thank you for these suggestions. Yes, I am concerned about 100 amp and would rather not mess with upgrading service. Any other thoughts on this?
The house is brick. No insulation in walls or basement.
It is not really an open floor plan, so mini split is not ideal. And more importantly, would reduce the charm of the house. We are in an upscale historic neighborhood and need to be mindful of the resale value.
Thanks again!
Is there any empty slots avalible in your breaker box?
What are you using for hot water, cooking stove, heat.
Some of the fine elec. guys on here will need that info when making some suggestions.
Also going back and editing your profile so they know where you live will help.
We are in Boston. Our hot water and heat is gas. Dryer, stove, oven are electric. Thank you.
I don't see any way around the service up-grade...your box is at, if not already, at capacity with the usual things, add the appliances I don't see any room left for two systems..
Sure doubt you are going to to get a second system powered off so small a load center.
Yes, the panel is full. We were going to add a subpanel but hope to not do service upgrade.
I just looked in my electric panel. A/C compressor = 40a, A/C air handler = 20a, dryer = 30a, electric range = 40a. I'm thinking your going to need lots of candles or everything of yours is smaller than mine.
Thank you. I cross posted my 100 amp problem in electric forum.
Assuming I figure out how to deal with electricity, any other thought regarding whether conventional or high velocity is better suited for my needs?
Thank you. I cross posted my 100 amp problem in electric forum.
Assuming I figure out how to deal with electricity, any other thought regarding whether conventional or high velocity is better suited for my needs?
You will definetly need a service upgrade and a highly trained and experienced company to do a PROPER load calculation to size your cooling needs and do the install. I just watched a marketplace special last night and they have thousands of new condos in Toronto, Ontario and some are having HUGE problems with high velocity systems not being sized, installed, setup properly and not cooling or heating properly etc. Mostly because very few contractors understand them and know how to do them properly. How you find one I do not know. Best to talk to lots of your neighbors and see what they did. I would vote for the minisplits especially the Fujitsus which are like the Lexus of the industry. They have inverter ecm compressors and SEER ratings up to 21 and are literally so quiet you cannot hear them run. I believe they have flat panels like the other guys and are quite cosmetic. There are LOTS of generic minisplit brands out there and hackers installing them so I would do LOTS of research as to the contractor and his reputation and stay with Fujitsu or LG or Mitsubishi as they are well known and been around for a long time.
Mini splits in a historical America home is like putting a a prom dress on Richard Simmons....it just don't look right (but Richard might still like it):no:

Providers are searching for ways to survive the cuts in
reimbursement, streamline their operations and continue to serve
patients as they have in the past. Start with your office and
examine your company's intake processes.
For HME intake, the adage applies: Garbage in, garbage out!
While it is vital that employees are trained in the proper
procedures, intake is more than answering a telephone and putting
information down on paper or entering it into a computer system.
The intake coordinator needs to understand what it takes to ensure
you have all of the information necessary to deliver equipment and
bill the claim in a timely manner.
Remember that it is just as important to educate your intake
personnel as your billing and accounts receivable personnel. The
first impression a referral source is going to have will come from
the person who answers your phone. I have heard an intake
coordinator yell, "Do we sell oxygen? Do they need a
prescription?" Do you think a referral source who hears
something like that will trust your company to set up oxygen for
their patients? I don't think so.
Accept that it may take more than one telephone call with the
initial referral source to obtain all of the necessary
documentation. Go that extra mile and call everyone you can until
you have the information you need. Other health care providers do,
so why don't you?
Review your intake form to make sure it asks for all of the
required information, including:
Patient's full name, as it appears on the insurance card
Patient's delivery address
Patient's "permanent" address. For this, ask
patients where they receive their Medicare checks. This may be
different than the physical delivery address. It will determine to
which DMERC you bill the claim and should decrease your PR-109
denials (billing an inappropriate carrier or the patient is in a
skilled nursing facility).
Patient and emergency contact's telephone number(s) and all
pertinent contact information
The primary insurance policy number and any secondary insurance
information, including telephone numbers for insurance
Treating physician's name, address, telephone and fax, and UPIN
Equipment and/or supplies being ordered for this patient. Make
sure you understand what is being ordered, the quantity and all of
the relevant information for that particular piece of
The date of discharge, if applicable. This is very important for
patients who are in the hospital or an in-patient facility. If you

Diagnosis qualifying the patient for the equipment and/or

equipment that is not going to be covered. Be very careful with the
ICD-9 coding. Remember, there are numerous coding changes, and the
grace period for providers has been eliminated.
Length of need. This is very important with equipment that can
be rented toward the purchase price. The National Supplier
Clearinghouse 21 Supplier Standards state that a provider must give
the patient the right to rent or purchase equipment in the
"IR" category (inexpensive or routinely purchased items
in the fee schedule). If the length of need does not constitute a
purchase but you bill it as a purchase, you will owe the DMERC back
for the remainder of that reimbursement. For example, if a bedside
commode length of need is two months, it does not meet the
guidelines as a purchase.
Other required information should be on separate intake forms
for each category of equipment or supplies to ensure that the
correct questions are asked. If you specialize in any particular
categories, then add those questions necessary to the intake

text: About JETREA ® (ocriplasmin)JETREA ®(ocriplasmin) is a truncated form of human plasmin. In the US, JETREA ® is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic VMA. In Europe, JETREA ® is indicated for the treatment of vitreomacular traction (VMT), including when associated with macular hole of diameter ≤ 400 microns. JETREA ® is a selective proteolytic enzyme that cleaves fibronectin, laminin and collagen, three major components of the vitreoretinal interface that play an important role in vitreomacular adhesion. JETREA ® has been evaluated in two multi-center, randomized, double-masked Phase III trials conducted in the U.S. and Europe involving 652 patients with vitreomacular adhesion. Both studies met the primary endpoint of resolution of VMA at day 28. JETREA ®'s Phase III program found that 26.5% of patients treated with ocriplasmin saw resolution of VMA, compared with 10.1% of patients receiving placebo (p<0.01). The phase III program also showed that JETREA ® was generally well tolerated. Any adverse reactions were ocular. The most commonly reported were vitreous floaters, eye pain and photopsia, as well as conjunctival haemorrhage resulting from the injection procedure. Most of the adverse reactions occurred within the first week after the injection. The majority of these reactions was non-serious, mild in intensity and resolved within 2 to 3 weeks. [1] About ThromboGenics ThromboGenics is an integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic and oncology medicines. The Company's lead product, JETREA ®(ocriplasmin), has been approved by the US FDA for the treatment of symptomatic VMA and was launched in January 2013. ThromboGenics signed a strategic partnership with Alcon (Novartis) for the commercialization of JETREA ® outside the United States. Under this agreement, ThromboGenics could receive up to a total of €375 million in up-front and milestone payments. It will receive significant royalties from Alcon's net sales of JETREA ® . ThromboGenics and Alcon intend to share the costs equally of developing JETREA ® for a number of new vitreoretinal indications. In Europe, JETREA ® is approved for the treatment of vitreomacular traction (VMT), including when associated with macular hole of diameter less than or equal to 400 microns. Alcon has launched JETREA ® in the UK and Germany. ThromboGenics is also further exploring anti-PIGF (Placental Growth Factor), also referred to as TB-403, for the treatment of ophthalmic and oncology indications.

Yuan Has Biggest Weekly Gain in Two Months on Recovery Signs
The yuan completed its best week in two months on optimism China's economy is recovering from a seven-quarter slowdown.
The World Bank said in a report this week the world's second-largest economy will grow 8.4 percent in 2013, faster than an October projection of 8.1 percent. China will increase the movement of the exchange rate "appropriately" to handle the latest round of measures by global central banks to pump money into markets to support growth, the official Xinhua News Agency said in an editorial.
"We continue to factor in a slight renminbi appreciation for the coming year," said Ho Woei Chen, a Singapore-based economist at United Overseas Bank Ltd. "Growth is expected to pick up next year. The pace of appreciation will be modest."
The yuan strengthened 0.24 percent this week, the most since the five days ended Oct. 12, to close at 6.2286 per dollar in Shanghai, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System. That took this year's advance to 1.05 percent. The currency rose 0.03 percent today.
The People's Bank of China lowered the reference rate by 0.01 percent to 6.2881 per dollar today. The spot rate is allowed to trade as much as 1 percent on either side of the fixing.
Budget Talks
The Chinese currency is close to equilibrium level and has room for small, "sustained" appreciation in the long run, Shanghai Securities News reported today, citing a report from the government-run State Information Center.
Stock indexes fell around the world after House Republican leaders canceled a vote yesterday on Speaker John Boehner's plan to allow higher tax rates for annual income above $1 million.
In Hong Kong's offshore market, the yuan slipped 0.13 percent to 6.2208 per dollar today and was little changed this week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Twelve-month non- deliverable forwards slid 0.27 percent today to 6.3333, the biggest decline since May 16. The contracts traded at a 1.7 percent discount to the onshore spot rate.
One-month implied volatility, a measure of expected moves in exchange rates used to price options, has fallen 98 basis points, or 0.98 percentage point, to 1.75 percent this year. That's lower than the past five years' average of 2.36 percent. It was little changed today.

SPIN Party and Exhibition
Okay, heres your chance to say you were part of an exhibition at the Houston Center for Photography. All you need is a cell phone and a little imagination. The HCPs 3rd Annual SPIN Party features cell phone imagery projected on giant screens in the HCP galleries. The main room will show works by the 48 preselected artists, including participants from the Netherlands, Germany, New Zealand, Scotland and Ghana, along with folks from across the United States. Over the last few weeks the artists have been receiving periodic text messages from HCP, with simple instructions like Show us the weather and Take a picture of your baggage. The artists responded with shots from their cell phone cameras. Over 300 of those images are in the exhibit. Now, in the smaller gallery (this is where you come in), HCP will be exhibiting images taken from folks in the crowd during the party. Between the low-res cell phone photos and the drinking, things could get a little blurry. Sound artist Stephen Orsak will be providing music.

Solo Oil PLC boss: Horse Hill "demonstrating commercial production potential"
The consortium behind the Horse Hill development well near Gatwick has posted another good result as flows from the shallowest part of the well matched the nearby Brockham discovery.
Solo Oil (LON:SOLO) is one of the Horse Hill consortium members with a 6.5% interest in the well, and chairman Neil Ritson speaks to Proactive about the developments.
Over a continuous nine hour period, oil from the Portland section of the well flowed at 168 barrels per day and he says the results were "above expectations" and "very encouraging".
"We would think that this – certainly if the larger pump produces a higher volume – is very much demonstrating a commercial production potential here," Ritson adds.

Women and Infants Mental Health Program
Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma
Depression, anxiety, and other mood fluctuations are commonly experienced by women during significant life changes such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. These fluctuations during pregnancy and postpartum can be especially challenging. The perinatal period is a particularly unique time given the changes in hormones, sleep patterns, role transitions, financial and social strains, and increased stress often experienced by women.
Additionally, stress and anxiety can seriously impact how women experience pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting, especially those who have survived child abuse or neglect, sexual assault, violent crime or other traumatic events. For many women, a history of trauma affects trust in others and in themselves which may impact feelings about the transition into parenthood.
The WIMH Program emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed approaches to health care. TheProgram is interested in learning more about experiences of these women and researching mood complications during pregnancy and postpartum to better understand the needs, challenges, and outcomes of women, fathers, and infants.
Research Activity:
Interventions, Treatments, and Complimentary Alternative Medicine
Mindfulness Yoga during Pregnancy
Women's mental health during pregnancy has important implications for both mother and baby, but few women receive treatment. The Mindfulness Yoga during Pregnancy (MY Pregnancy) study will examine how a supportive intervention is helpful to pregnant women with a history of depression or anxiety who may be reluctant to participate in traditional mental health treatment, such as psychotherapy or antidepressants. MY Pregnancy is a 10-session yoga group designed to increase mindful, non-judgment and acceptance of feelings and strengthen the infant-maternal bond while decreasing feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety, particularly related to pregnancy, labor, delivery and transition to motherhood.
The current project has added a control group to the design. Half the participants will attend the mindfulness yoga class and half will receive a free mindfulness yoga DVD for home practice.
Participants in the 10 week mindfulness yoga intervention were significantly less depressed, and showed significant improvement in mother-baby attachment and mindfulness skills.
Maria Muzik (PI), Marlene McGrath and Barbara Brooken-Harvey
Mothers, Omega-3 and Mental Health Study (MOMS)
The MOM study is a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to assess whether omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may prevent depressive symptoms during pregnancy and the postpartum period among pregnant women at risk for depression. Pregnant women were recruited prior to 20 weeks gestation from prenatal clinics at the University of Michigan Health System & IHA/St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and followed over the course of their pregnancy and up to 6 weeks postpartum. Enrolled participants will be randomized to one of three groups: 1) EPA-rich fish oil supplement 2) DHA-rich fish oil supplement or 3) a placebo. Information on changes in depressive symptomatology, omega-3 fatty acid concentrations in maternal plasma, proinflammatory cytokine levels (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), and antidepressant medication treatment will be gathered at up to 3 time points during pregnancy and at 6 weeks postpartum.

Enhancing Care and Health Outcomes (ECHO): Improving Psychosocial Treatment for Perinatal Depression
The ECHO project aimed to develop a modified depression intervention to reflect the unique issues faced by women during the perinatal period. Specifically, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was adapted based on participant responses. The project was implemented in three phases: 1) determine barriers to participation in treatment through qualitative interviews 2) adjust and further develop CBT based on information learned, and 3) test and refine the adapted intervention through a pilot study.
Twenty-three participants, varying in socioeconomic, depression, and pregnancy status were interviewed about their experience with clinician (including nurses, midwives, obstetricians, and social workers) interaction style and which they style was most helpful and favored. Themes that emerged showed women prefer an interaction that conveys:
- Feeling heard, the clinician effectively listening with a nonjudgmental attitude, and encouraging client control
- A trusting relationship that is based on genuineness, warmth, and optimism
- Competence, knowledge, and expertise of clinician
- The communication of a treatment options that align with patient needs
- Negative thoughts stemming from unmet high expectations of self as a mother, worry, and negativity about parenting efficacy.
- Behavioral impacts of limited activity and isolation
- Interpersonal conflict causing emotional distress
- Phase three tested the efficacy of the modified CBT (mCBT) in a randomized control trial. The study aim was for the mCBT group of 30 women to show increased treatment adherence and decreased depression symptoms compared to the control group of 25 women who received treatment as usual. Results indicate:
- The mCBT group had good adherence rates where 63% of women attended at least 4 treatment sessions and 43% attended at least 7 sessions.
- Women who received mCBT had a greater reduction in depression scores than women in the control group at 16 weeks after the study start.
- Women found they could practically apply skills learned in mCBT and reported high levels of satisfaction with treatment received.

Connecting Women with Care
There is evidence that depression in women of childbearing age is often undetected and untreated. This study investigated whether an intervention added to routine health care provider and patient interaction will improve the likelihood of perinatal patients seeking and following through with mental health treatment. Studying these kinds of interventions is important since most women at-risk for depression do not receive proper care, and receiving adequate care can significantly improve the lives of women and their children. This studied compared 2 groups; a control group and an intervention group. The control group completed a depression screening instrument and diagnostic interview if significant symptoms are reported. Health care providers and patients will be notified of their depression status and current protocol of standard prenatal care will continue. For the intervention group, if significant depression symptoms are found after screening: feedback and treatment and/or referral to a specialty clinic will be initiated by the nurse practitioner in the clinic. In addition those with positive screens will participate in the diagnostic interview with the research assistant. Two additional follow-up interview will be conducted with the patient by the research assistant.
The majority (65%) of pregnant women with current major depressive disorder (MDD) were not receiving any depression treatment throughout the study period. Overall, women with high depression scores on a depression screenings (EDPS; scores >= 10) who reported that their physician discussed depression with them (67%) were significantly more likely to seek treatment (compared with those who did not report physician discussion of depression with them) by the 1 month prenatal follow-up but not by the 6 weeks postpartum follow-up. Initial depression severity and treatment use prior to screening were the strongest predictors of subsequent depression treatment use. Depression screening combined with systematic clinician follow-up showed a modest short-term impact on depression treatment use for perinatal depression but did not affect depression outcomes. Most women with MDD were not engaged in treatment throughout the follow-up period despite the interventions. More intensive and repeated monitoring might enhance the effect of clinician interventions to improve treatment use.

Infant Outcomes and Depression Treatment in Pregnancy
The aims of this project are to determine whether clinical stability following depression treatment in pregnant women normalizes neuroendocrine function, as well as infant neuroendocrine status, birth outcomes, and state regulation through 7 months of age. Following screening in obstetrics clinics, pregnant women diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder or high risk for depression will receive a course of Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) with or without treatment with an SSRI, beginning at 28 gestational weeks and continuing through 7 months. Maternal outcome variables include symptom severity, psychosocial variables, neuroendocrine measures, and pregnancy characteristics. Infant outcome variables include birth outcomes (weight, gestational age, APGAR scores), neonatal neurologic assessments, cord blood and salivary neuroendocrine measures, state regulation variables (feeding, sleep, crying) and developmental measures through 7 months of age.

I looked long and hard at this Amplifier and on paper it is very very good indeed, the features for the money are extremely impressive. However at the last moment, just before pressing the "buy" button I spotted the flaw.
There's no airplay. And for me on a new AV Amp that's going to last a few years that was a killer.
Instead I've purchased the Yamaha V773. slightly more expensive, but it had everything I needed and also a superb iPad / iPhone app.
I agree with the comment above. The lack of Airrplay is a real loss.
I presume the licensing is too expensive, but this will put a lot of customers off, myself included.
Those two people up their aren't too smart. The Onkyo NR-515 can be had for $300. That guy's Yamaha V773 costs over $700. So for that extra $400 dollars, he got... AirPlay. Everyone should understand that receivers shouldn't have AirPlay. They have clunky interfaces and hard to navigate menus. For only $100, they could have purchased an Apple TV which offers not only Audio AirPlay, but Video Airplay, all in a slick interface.
Lack of AirPlay is relevant but consider the cost differences of moving up and you might find a deal by just adding AirPlay via one of the Apple Airport Express blocks. This is how I used the Express:
The Onkyo Remote for apple or android
is quite good for adjusting some of the settings on the amp and has
an extra feature that allows you to stream any MP3's on your phone (mine's a note2) to
the 515 over your home network (DLNA). I found this to be a nice surprise and it
worked quite well.
Can you explain how to set it up

iroc, so glad you're seeing results!! That definitely helps push you along.
Today was rough, for some reason. I'm just having one of those days, I guess. I pushed through and got it done though and thankfully it has cooled off here so it's nice and cool inside which was a big help. For a split few seconds I thought about not doing it, but I'm really glad I didn't give in to that little voice.
So glad it's Friday.

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

SilverStripe is great for working with Pages in the CMS. But what if you need functionality without the need for content or all the "data fluff," like in Aram's tutorial about user registration and profile editing. Well, believe it or not, SilverStripe is a pretty solid MVC platform, even if you're working outside of the page data objects. It took me a while to understand how to implement true-ish MVC in SilverStripe, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to share.Continue reading...

"I could not have been happier with my choice for my daughter's 1st birthday invitation. The quality was above my expectations and I received phone calls from almost everyone saying how beautiful the invitation was and asking where I got them. The customer service was amazing, when I called with questions about formatting text and proofs. Love Tiny Prints!"
"I loved the birthday invitations that I picked out for my daughter's first birthday. I was able to put in a picture of my choice, which was great, and what made it even better was the picture was re-touched and sized to fit the card that I had chosen. The script on the card, all mine. It felt like designing my own creative invitation for her birthday, without any of the stress and the worry! The best part - the service! I was extremely pleased with the fact that I was called the next day to go over the invitation. It made it great to fix a couple of personal errors, and to assure that the invitation was going to be perfect when it arrived, which it was! I was extremely pleased with the product, and will be ordering all of my cards/invitations, and anything else that tinyprints.com has to offer that I can!! :)"

Gov. Calzada made it seem as though the drug lord were captured alone.
Sources say the drug lord became quite talkative when he was high.
An island-wide manhunt is under way for the drug lord, though he has reportedly agreed to surrender himself in New York.
His latest target has been Hajji Hassan, a Baluch drug lord who fled Iran and settled in Turbat in 2000.
"I wanted to see this person was who was crazy enough to investigate me," the drug lord told Gratteri.
The point was to kill Gustavo Fring, the drug lord for whom they were both working, but Jesse never did the deed.
When she decapitated a Japanese drug lord in Kill Bill, she did it with such grace you couldn't help but applaud.

I remember when I aimed for perfect workouts: 30 minutes was the minimum.
I was in lousy shape.
I remember when I aimed for perfect dating: it couldn't be awkward, forced, or uncertain.
I didn't talk to women I was interested in.
I remember when I aimed for perfect writing: I wanted 1,000+ words of quality material per day.
I played video games instead.
I carefully avoided mistakes, endlessly ruminated about what I didn't do, and what I did do wasn't enough.
Then, I became an imperfectionist.
Everything changed. I had fun stories to tell, like the lesbian pizza incident and the most nervous "Hi" ever spoken by a human being. I learned more. I laughed more. I lived more.
I got in great shape, read more books, and improved my social skills. I wrote Mini Habits, which is being translated into a dozen languages.
I found I could mess up and still win.
Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected. Imperfectionism frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.
While the freedom of imperfectionism is impactful, it does not preclude us from having problems. Imperfectionists aren't so ironic as to have perfect lives, they're just happier, healthier, and more productive at doing what matters.
©2015 Stephen Guise (P)2015 Stephen Guise
amazing book. great narration! practical wisdom I have already started applying. just brilliant!
"Imperfectly Perfectly great!
I have read the book. And now I plan to listen to it a second time. It is sweetly simple advice to life. This is my 5th time listening to iit. IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING!:) 6th time listening!
"Please read 8,100,352 times"
This is one of the most life-changing books I have ever read and listened to and read and listened to. I'm guessing it would impact anyone's life in a very positive manner, if taken to heart. Guise takes aim at perfectionism in an honest, engaging way and the wonderful advice is easily applied. Guise has a lot of down-home clarity and he impresses me with his humility and transparency regarding his own struggles with perfectionism. I highly recommend it.
The discussion of analog vs. binary ways of evaluating our efforts was particularly helpful.
I found it hard to believe he is not Stephen Guise! Often when listening to recordings of books, I think the narrator is not understanding what he is reading; Penz reads it like he wrote it! He has a great voice and manner of speaking.
Both - it was funny and made me laugh at the author and my own foolishness, but I also felt sad as I realized that I had created so much suffering for myself and others with my perfectionism, and that I had so little appreciated my own efforts, just because they were imperfect.
A must read for a healthy, productive life.
"A refreshing new way of pursuing achievement"
I think the subtitle is very descriptive of the book: The New Way to Self-Acceptance, Fearless Living, and Freedom from Perfectionism.
The narration was excellent also.
"love it"
absolute gold.
acute perfectionist.
in recovery!
encouraging, with practical actionable concise advice.
going to listen to "mini habits" now...
"Good, but not perfect. ;-)"
It has some really good ideas, ones that I will work on. But, in trying to cover helpful tips fur all of the types of perfectionism, there were only a few concepts that were directly applicable to my situation.
"Right timing"
I found this book at the right time in my life. Starting a new chapter in my life as i continue my life's journey with Bipolar disorder.
As someone who has only recently realized that perfectionism is causing a lot of issues in my life, this book has been very helpful in giving me some insight and understanding as well as concrete solutions to counteract this detrimental way of thinking.
The author uses the same few examples over and over. Unfortunately, these examples were limited in scope as I believe all or at least the great majority were only based on one person (the author himself). While absolutely valid examples, I was looking for a wider range that would be more applicable.
The author slips into a condescending/shaming voice when referring to his past perfectionistic perspective. I found this quite sad and discouraging. It made me feel sad that he seemed to be shaming his "past self" rather than having empathy for himself as he looked back on his own story.
Sadness & Disappointment
The author seems as though he may have more to offer, as he continues through his own journey.
"realy life changing"
stop thinking just go buy and read or hear the book :) be an imperfectionist now,there's more to it
then just to be imperfect
"One of the best self-help books I've ever read!"
I'm a writer and this book actually gives me the tools to help me with my struggles with perfectionism, procrastination, rumination and fear. Rather than just motivation or positive thinking, this book provides dozens of easy, effective, real-world techniques such as beginning mini habits, setting timers and adjusting your standards. Taking action is actually the solution to rumination. I'll be listening to this one over and over again. I'll definitely get Stephen's other book, Mini-Habits, too. I also recommend Wayne Dyer's book, Excuses Begone! to anyone dealing with perfectionism. I've listened to it several times and while he doesn't offer the techniques that Stephen does, it is helpful in changing your mindset. Thanks so much, Stephen, for writing a life-changing book!
"Want to be mediocre and be happy about it?"
Then this book is for you. And I'm not saying that in a cynical way, but factually, this is a book sized pitch for mediocrity and how to be okay with it. Kind of like the western version of zen, or "if you can't have what you like, start liking what you have". If that's your goal (and honestly, it is not a bad goal, just isn't what I want), read this book. It'll give you useful strategies for achieving peace of mind and enjoying a life without striving for extremes and being happy with with what you can get without getting out of your comfort zone.
Having listened to this book right after "Elon Musk" by Ashlee Vance (a GREAT book) the contrast between the two philosophies couldn't be greater. Should Elon have read this book and took it to heart early in his career, we wouldn't have PayPal, Tesla and Space-X, but there would be a happy camper insignificant Elon Musk working on some minor project that he could do without "unreasonable" expectations and being such a controversial perfectionist shooting for the moon (quite literally) and refusing to give up no matter what, and refusing to settle for less no matter what. That's exactly what the book argues AGAINST. He even quotes psychology experiments that "prove" that aiming lower results in better performance (note: obviously, the selection of participants for the experiment must have skewed the result - if you design an experiment about "achievement" and only include average people, i.e. non-achievers like 99.99% of the population, then your experiment just proves that average people feel uncomfortable and perform less if they are stressed because of high expectations - the very stress that brings out the best in high achievers).
So, according to the author, the recipe for happiness is to aim for less to prevent disappointment. Really? Musk, Jobs, Bezos, Zuckerberg and many others would probably disagree. The BIG point the author misses: while MOST people don't believe that they are destined to or capable of or even need to achieve anything extraordinary (99.99% of the people are happy if they are healthy, have a happy family, no financial stress and an OK job - but you have to admit that that's really not much to aim for as one's "goals in life"), his approach, while safe for the masses, is a huge turnoff and NOT true for anyone trying to achieve BIG things.
If enough potential high achievers read this book, we can go back to hunting and gathering and be perfectly happy about it. Ironically, most of the things that made it possible for the author to create, and for me to read this book (the internet, online payments, audio books, my iPhone I used to listen to it, Amazon.com, etc.) wouldn't even exist if the creators of those breakthrough tools would have decided to suppress their urges to accomplishing great (always looking "unreasonable" at the time) revolutionary advancements in technology in favor of their "peace and happiness". Yet, that's what the author recommends for you and I to do.
I will admit that I AM a perfectionist and got this book because I thought it would give me strategies for getting the great results I want by being less of a perfectionist, but I got none of that from the book - instead, it tried to convince me to settle for less. No thanks.
On the other hand, if you actually are the kind of person who would trade achievements for comfort, if you don't mind not doing anything really significant with your life and you want to feel OK about it, this book will do a great job making you feel OK.
The narrator is great.
p.s. I corrected and improved this review about 30 times because I'm a perfectionist :-). If it was useful to you because it's well written, then that proves this book wrong :-)
"Perfect for perfectionists"
After so many other books have failed to pinpoint my problem this one just worked!
It uses a great mix of charming analogy and scientific evidence to point out where problems lie and sets out so many great techniques to move forward in a lasting way!
"Inspiration to act differently"
I first read this book on Kindle and while I understood it intectually, it didn't motivate me to act differently. The Audible version is somehow (for me at least) easier to internalise.
Buddhism for Busy People. Not for the religious aspects, but for the recommendations on taking charge of your own life.
I found the narration very engaging.
I never feel compelled to consume any audio books in one sitting. I completed it in around 3 days, with time to digest the content between listens.
I just downloaded Mini Habits by the same author (I already have it in Kindle format) to see if that is also more compelling as an audio book.
"Really insightful"
I seem to get this idea...But if I have not it does not matter because I am a imperfectionist now...
Inspiring. List of perfectionist traits spoke directly to me. Gave me practical hope for change.
Loved this, goes much deeper than I expected. A really excellent all round self improvement book, brilliantly written with some genuine laugh out loud moments. Narrator is excellent too.
A great title and one I'll revisit often.
"Useful and usable"
Another very useful and usable audio book from Stephen Guise. With this and 'Mini Habits' I have taken a huge step up my learning ladder. Putting his suggestions into practice is easy and already bring positive results.

Kokoro Connect: Michi Random
Dereban best Inaban. Seriously.
Well, Michi Random had some pretty serious drama going on, even more so than the standards of this show. I can't say I don't feel for Iori though, the burden of expectations when you bring an "image" of yourself to a level it's way too distant from your own would eventually result in a unsightly "break" like that. It's probably even worse when the people you care for are the same ones piling the expectations even higher and heavier… I'm glad she managed to make peace with herself though.
The more interesting part would also be the resolution of the love triangle between Taichi, Iori and Inaba. I'll admit, Inaba really grew on me through the course of Kokoro Connect and I guess I was rooting for her to get Taichi more than Iori. I mean, she can say such majorly embarassing things like…
… oh god that last part totally hit me straight in the nutbladder. I seriously wasn't kidding when I said Inaba carried this show for me.
So yeah, all in all, I'd say Michi Random really concluded Kokoro Connect quite satisfactory, resolving our main trio very nicely plus also not forgetting to show that Aoki and Yui moving on with themselves after their parts got resolved earlier in the series. Plus, Dereban End is the best end I could hope for!

Does anyone have a link for laws about pocket knives in St. Maarten or St. Thomas?
I will be going on a cruise for the first time soon and I want to take a simple pocket knife like a Swiss army Ranger or a Spyderco Lady Bug but don't want to end up in trouble over it. All I have found so far is info about the various cruise line policy and lots of people questioning why you would ever consider taking a pocket knife on a cruise etc. Most of the pro knife responses have been running toward taking a cheap knife you don't care to have taken away. I couldn't care less about the knife I don't want to go to jail for it.
Assuming it looks legal on "paper" I won't take anything with an assist like a Kershaw or Gerber Fast Draw but I would like a thumb hole opener.

What I read the security in port outside the us is easy. Lots of dive knives go in and out just entered to confirm legality of carrying ashore.

To be on the safe side, I would advise against carrying knives outside of the US. Just carry a tactical flashlight.

(2) with intent to use the same unlawfully against another, has, possesses, bears, transports, carries or has under his proximate control, a dagger, dirk, dangerous knife, razor, stiletto, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon shall--
(A) be fined $5,000 and imprisoned not more than five (5) years; or
(B) if he has previously been convicted of a felony, or has, possesses, bears, transports, carries or has under his proximate control, any such weapon during the commission or attempted commission of a crime of violence (as defined in section 2253(d)(1) hereof) shall be fined $10,000 and imprisoned not more than fifteen (15) years, which penalty shall be in addition to the penalty provided for the commission of, or attempt to commit, the crime of violence.

Also, for fun
Are you going to carrying this knife for protection? I have sailed many a cruise. Just ask for steak knife at your first meal and every meal after that. Take the knife off the ship and right before you step back onto the ship drop the thing in the garbage.
Ships have metal detector and so do the ports of call.

is living room a noun?
Yes :) Unless for some reason you're talking about a room that is alive, in which case 'room' is a noun and 'living' is an adjective.
But if you're talking about a 'living room' like the actual room that is called that, then yes it is a noun.
Living room is an adjective followed by a noun. Here's the test. Room is a noun because it fits the definition of a noun "Person, place or thing." room is a place (or thing, a room could be a thing). Then, you follow the definition of adjective, which is a word that describes a noun, by asking the question "What KIND of room?" If you can answer that question without it seeming weird to you, then it's an adjective. What kind of room? "Living" room. If it was a different room, like where you eat, then the adjective would be "dining" room, likewise with recreation room. Now, if you have a situation where the word is a compound, like bedroom, the whole thing is a noun because it is used in a single word.

National Academy Re-Opens on the Upper East Side
After being closed for 18 months, the doors to the National Academy Museum & School are back open on the Upper East Side.
The renovations to the Beaux Arts townhouse include a redesigned lobby, revitalized museum galleries and two new galleries in the National Academy School.
Lee Rosenbaum, who blogs on arts and culture as Culturegrrl at ArtsJournal.com, said the academy was worth checking out for its self-portraits of the American painters Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent and Cecilia Beaux.
"There's a whole room of these self-portraits with those three right next to each other," said Rosenbaum, "and to me that was the power wall in the whole place."
The renovation is part of the National Academy's effort to bring in more visitors and income. In a controversial move in 2008, the academy deaccessioned two works from its collection to cover operating expenses.
Check out what's on view at the newly renovated academy in the slideshow below.
