This is the ultimate showdown between the only two female chefs to ever win "Top Chef." First, Stephanie challenges Kristen to take it to the streets Thai style, while Kristen pushes Stephanie out of her comfort zone and into fine dining by making an upscale pasta dish. Then for the Duel, it's a clash of rustic versus refined cuisine as the chefs lock horns in a showdown of biblical proportions themed around the Garden of Eden.

Two chefs are back to set the record straight. Jen and Nyesha were arguably sent home before their time on their seasons of "Top Chef." Now these women are back with a vengeance. First Jen tests Nyesha's familiarity opening and preparing sea urchin, and then Nyesha challenges Jen to confront a past demon from the show, mastering bacon and eggs. For the Duel, the chefs are forced to break the law for the cast of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Underestimating these chefs would be criminal.

After her breakthrough performances in Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect, no one would question why Rebel Wilson has become a sought-after star, or why ABC would want to build a show around her ample and fearlessly outrageous talents. But Super Fun Night hasn't been much of a joyride so far.
The original pilot, which has been replaced by another episode for its official premiere (9:31/8:31c), elicited this reaction from me in the Fall Preview issue: "The grotesque extremes to which Wilson stoops to get laughs in this frenetic vehicle have a whiff of desperation. It might also be more fun if she used her authentic Aussie accent." The objection stands about her Americanized speech (her choice), and while the new opener is a little less degrading — instead of exposing her body on a city street with flashing lights on her underwear, a new gag involves an office elevator door shredding her dress, revealing her Spanx at work — it's not much funnier.
Gail Simmons is moving to the head of the table on Top Chef Masters — the judges' table, that is. The longtime Top Chef judge is the new head critic of Season 5 of Masters (premieres Wednesday, 10/9c, Bravo) which means more Gail, all the time. "I'm there for every challenge now. Just what the world needs!" Simmons jokes to TVGuide.com. "Me in every single episode! What the world was waiting for." Photos: 24 (not-so) guilty pleasures The Food & Wine editor's presence isn't the only change to the show.

Dr. Gary P. Monkarsh's Ratings
I am a personal injury and long term disability lawyer in Portland. For over two years I have referred my clients who suffer from depression, anxiety or post traumatic stress disorder to Dr. Monkarsh for treatment and medical substantiation of their claims. He is through in is work, compassionate in demeanor, generous with his time, conscientious and is willing to adjust fees for persons experiencing financial hardship. Dr. Monkarsh's detailed reports have been extremely effective tools, helping my clients obtain just financial compensation. My clients consistently report their satisfaction and appreciation for his expertise and ability to effectively assess and treat their suffering. Dr. Monkarsh is among the very best---clinically and terms of true caring. I continue to refer to him without hesitation. I give Dr. Monkarsh my highest recommendation and full endorsement.

What can I say about Gary Monkarsh? In short he is compassionate, relate-able, and understanding. He tells me what I need to hear that I've overlooked in my situation, and has reminded me of psychology terms I've forgotten. His office is relaxing, and he really lets you put what's troubling you on the table. In that respect getting started is always easy because it's kind of the typical "And how does that make you feel?". Yet after that it really becomes a very communicative feel. I'm given a new perspective on my situation, and given suggestions & tools to work with my problems. We spend out life putting our self under a microscope, and he has helped me pull myself back out. The pay is cheep, the hours nice, and the help is what you need not just what you want to hear.

Gary has been a kind, gentle ear. I've seen him on and off for over 6 years. He has aided my grieving process and helped me be a better wife and mother of two teenagers (a difficult time even with good kids) while managing a complex career. He is compassionate yet firm and I've experienced very postive results from his counseling. I recommend him completely.

He took a phone call during the session (personal) and got up to look at his phone every time it rang. He made me feel uncomfortable and was very judgemental. Wasn't really interested in talking to my son. Kept question any answer I gave him as if I were being dishonest. Usually if you are expecting someone to lie to you you are usually projecting. He was very interested in getting paid. he gave my a quote that was way off what the insurance company had said, actually 2x what the insurance had quoted. When I question he change the amount. Then charged me a large amount for the first visit and said that is how they do it. He asked if I wanted a reciept, I said yes and then he said he wasn't able to print one. So I have no reciept of payment and not copy of the service bill, he send that to the insurance. Took 1/2 a day off work and wasted a lot of money. PS my mom is a phychologist. I didn't tell him that, but called her immidiately. She was appalled.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gary Monkarsh for seven years. He has been instrumental in helping me to recieve my full VA benefits for PTSD. Dr. Monkarsh always has my best interests at heart and provides great advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. I would recommend Dr. Monkarsh to anyone.

Dr. Monkarsh was incredibly caring, and generous with his time. He gave me a sliding-fee scale because he knew I couldn't pay his regular fees. He taught me ways to reduce my anxiety, and his great sense of humor made me feel at ease. He helped me overcome my depression as well. I would recommend him highly.

My family have been seeing Dr. Monkarsh for several years. I think he is a very skilled therapist in addition to being a kind, and compassionate human being. He has personally helped me move from a state of suffering when I first started with him, to a place of emotional and physical health and balance. I read his "orientation and approach" in his website, and chose him because I liked what I read. For me, he has truly lived up to what he has written. I have found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, spirituality and relaxation techniques. An added bonus is his professional and relaxing office, his efficient staff, and his private and peaceful location with easy parking and a great coffee/tea shop close by.

Dr. Monkarsh is a true professional. He is a great listener and very helpful in offering practical tools to use in a variety of situations. He is fantastic at remembering personal details, asking excellent questions, and giving positive perspectives to different situations. His office setting is relaxing and comfortable to elicit open discussion. I would highly recommend him.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KWSN): It wasn't a Good Friday for the Sioux Falls baseball team, as the Cougars (15-22, 9-15) dropped a pair of games to the University of Minnesota Duluth, 13-1 and 12-7, this afternoon at Harmodon Park.
The series was originally scheduled as a homestand for the Bulldogs, but heavy snow forced a site reversal and allowed USF to play its tenth straight game in Sioux Falls.
The Bulldogs (10-19, 6-13), who lost four of five games heading into the weekend series, reclaimed their mojo by dropping a combined 25 runs on 24 hits on the Cougars.
The Bulldogs jumped all over USF starter Noah Coleman in the initial frame of game one, tagging the senior southpaw for three runs on three hits and scoring one more on an error in the Cougar outfield to lead 4-0.
USF pushed across its lone tally in the third, when Austin Goodenow drew a one-out walk, stole second and was singled home by Noah Durkin. \
The initial onslaught continued in the home half of the third with the Bulldogs putting another four-spot on the board.
UMD tacked on two more runs in the fourth, chasing Coleman (1-4) after he allowed 10 runs (nine earned) on 10 hits in four innings, walking two and striking out a pair. Jeremy Varner relieved Coleman and gave up three runs on four hits, walking two and fanning a pair of Bulldogs.
Bo Hellquist (2-4) held the Cougars to one run on four hits in six strong innings, striking out five and issuing one base on balls.
The Cougars were paced by Durkin's 1-for-2, RBI effort. Trevor Crow, Anthony Lopez and Varner each had a hit.
With the margin for error thin in game two's 12-7 defeat, USF erred. Seven times, in fact—the most for a USF squad since the Cougars committed seven errors in a 15-13 win at Morningside College on April 2, 2011.
Freshman lefty Elijah Thornquist walked the lead-off batter and appeared to have cleaned the bases by inducing an infield ground ball, but shortstop Gunner Peterson was docked with a fielding error that would result in two runs for the Bulldogs via RBI double by Cody Aasen and a sacrifice fly.
UMD tacked on a run in the third before the Cougars answered with two runs in the fourth on the strength of RBI baseknocks from Durkin and Michael Vine. USF threatened for more with a bases-loaded at bat with two outs but Bulldog starter Max Ryan got out of the jam with Varner's fly-out to right field.
Thornquist sent the Bulldogs down 1-2-3 in the third and USF followed with a two-run fourth with Jordan Jeske plating Ryan Fobes with a long single before he stole home on a double-steal. Varner's fifth inning RBI double gave the Cougars a 5-3 advantage.
The Cougars' lead didn't last long, as Grant Farley's three-run homer erased the deficit for the Bulldogs in the bottom half of the fifth. UMD went on to score six more runs off a pair of Cougar relievers for a 12-5 lead that turned out to be more than enough for the win. USF created the final 12-7 margin with Crow's RBI hit and a solo shot by Varner in the top of the ninth.
Thornquist (L, 1-4) was charged with four earned runs on five hits over his 5 1/3 innings of work. He struck out three and walked four.
Ryan (W, 2-2) picked up the victory, tossing five in which he surrendered five runs on eight hits. Ryan Lakin recorded the final six outs of the game and allowed two runs on four hits.
USF pounded out 10 hits and were led by Varner (2-for-5, 2 RBI), Crow (2-for-5, RBI) and Noah Coleman (2-for-3, one run).
The Cougars and Bulldogs will square off again tomorrow at Harmodon Park with another twinbill scheduled to begin at 12 p.m.

PLAYERS: Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins
At 9-3, the Ravens are the only AFC division leader not currently guaranteed a playoff birth, and looking at their schedule, it's conceivable that they could still be overtaken by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the AFC North's top team. In case you're now scratching your head, hear me out. The Ravens have a remarkably tough road ahead to round out the 2012 regular season. Baltimore goes to Washington, then host the Broncos and Giants before finally heading to Cincinnati to end the season. Considering their recent offensive woes, there's not a single "should win" game on the schedule. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a somewhat more manageable schedule, but it's still not an easy road. Pittsburgh hosts San Diego, travels to Dallas, hosts the Bengals, and rounds out their against the Browns in Pittsburgh. The Redskins are a team on the rise, and they'll almost certainly give the Ravens fits with Robert Griffin III taking snaps. He's...

Fortes C, Forastiere F, Agabiti N, Fano V, Pacifici R, Virgili F, Piras G, Guidi L, Bartoloni C, Tricerri A, Zuccaro P, Ebrahim S, Perucci CA National Institute of Health, Rome, Italy. J Am Geriatr Soc 1998 Jan;46(1):19-26 OBJECTIVE: To determine if either supplemental vitamin A, zinc, or both increases cell-mediated immune response in an older population. DESIGN: A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of supplementation with vitamin A and zinc. SETTING: Casa Di Riposo Roma III, a public home for older people in Rome, Italy. SUBJECTS: The health and nutritional status of 178 residents were evaluated. One hundred thirty-six residents agreed to participate in the trial and were randomized into four treatment groups, and 118 of these residents completed the trial. INTERVENTION: The four treatments consisted of: (1) Vitamin A (800 micrograms retinol palmitate); (2) Zinc (25 mg as zinc sulfate); (3) Vitamin A and Zinc (800 micrograms retinol palmitate and 25 mg as zinc sulfate); (4) Placebo capsules containing starch. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Immune tests-counts of leucocytes, lymphocytes, T-cell subsets, and lymphocyte proliferative response to mitogens-were measured before and after supplementation. RESULTS: Zinc increased the number of CD4 + DR + T-cells (P = .016) and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (P = .005). Subjects treated with vitamin A experienced a reduction in the number of CD3 + T-cells (P = .012) and CD4 + T-cells (P = .012). CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that zinc supplementation improved cell-mediated immune response, whereas vitamin A had a deleterious effect in this older population. Further research is needed to clarify the clinical significance of these findings. 62. Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammatory mediator production. James MJ, Gibson RA, Cleland LG Rheumatology Unit, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide, Australia, and the Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, Flinders Medical Center, Bedford Park, Australia. Am J Clin Nutr 2000 Jan;71(1 Suppl):343S-8S Many antiinflammatory pharmaceutical products inhibit the production of certain eicosanoids and cytokines and it is here that possibilities exist for therapies that incorporate n-3 and n-9 dietary fatty acids. The proinflammatory eicosanoids prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) are derived from the n-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA), which is maintained at high cellular concentrations by the high n-6 and low n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content of the modern Western diet. Flaxseed oil contains the 18-carbon n-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, which can be converted after ingestion to the 20-carbon n-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fish oils contain both 20- and 22-carbon n-3 fatty acids, EPA and docosahexaenoic acid. EPA can act as a competitive inhibitor of AA conversion to PGE(2) and LTB(4), and decreased synthesis of one or both of these eicosanoids has been observed after inclusion of flaxseed oil or fish oil in the diet. Analogous to the effect of n-3 fatty acids, inclusion of the 20-carbon n-9 fatty acid eicosatrienoic acid in the diet also results in decreased synthesis of LTB(4). Regarding the proinflammatory ctyokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1beta, studies of healthy volunteers and rheumatoid arthritis patients have shown < or = 90% inhibition of cytokine production after dietary supplementation with fish oil. Use of flaxseed oil in domestic food preparation also reduced production of these cytokines. Novel antiinflammatory therapies can be developed that take advantage of positive interactions between the dietary fats and existing or newly developed pharmaceutical products. 63. Xerostomia. A neglected symptom. Sreebny LM, Valdini A Arch Intern Med 1987 Jul;147(7):1333-7 Xerostomia, the subjective feeling of dry mouth caused by a severe reduction in the flow of saliva, is a common problem that is particularly prevalent among the aged. It has become increasingly evident that dry mouth is associated with a number of serious systemic conditions and diseases. Among these are the intake of commonly prescribed medications, autoimmune diseases, and irradiation to the head and neck. The diminution in the flow of saliva may profoundly affect oral health, disturb digestion and speech, and seriously impair the patient's quality of life. Food avoidance, nonabsorption of sublingually placed drugs, and noncompliance with medication may also result. Sialometry can be used to confirm the presence of dry mouth. Treatment is aimed at increasing the flow of saliva, when possible, or providing oral moisture by other means. 64. Sjogren's syndrome. More than dry eyes and dry mouth. Smith DL, Lucas LM Postgrad Med 1987 Jul;82(1):123-31 Sjogren's syndrome is a complex disease state with multisystem manifestations. Two forms of the disease, primary and secondary, are recognized; the secondary form is more easily diagnosed because of its association with an already established rheumatic or autoimmune disease. Treatment consists of measures to prevent damage from ocular and oral dryness (sicca complex) and to minimize systemic manifestations. 65. Overview of Sjogren's syndrome. Talal N J Dent Res 1987 Feb;66 Spec No:672-4 Sjogren's syndrome, a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorder (Shoenfeld and Schwartz, 1984; Smith and Steinberg, 1983), is characterized by diminished lacrimal and salivary gland secretion (sicca complex), resulting in keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) and xerostomia. As originally described, the syndrome consisted of a triad of dry eyes, dry mouth, and rheumatoid arthritis. We now know that other connective tissue diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, and polymyositis) may be present in place of rheumatoid arthritis, and that the sicca complex can exist as a primary pathologic entity with no associated disorder (Strand and Talal, 1980; Talal, 1985). Moreover, generalized lymphoproliferation, pseudolymphoma, or even lymphoid malignancy may appear in some patients (Talal and Bunim, 1964; Talal et al., 1967). More than 90% of patients are women, with a mean age of 50 years at diagnosis. The disease occurs in all races and all ages. 66. Physical fitness: benefits of exercise for the older patient. 2. Butler RN, Davis R, Lewis CB, Nelson ME, Strauss E Department of Geriatrics and Adult Development, Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, USA. Geriatrics 1998 Oct;53(10):46, 49-52, 61-2 Exercise provides important benefits for older adults in the areas of cardiovascular function, strength and muscle mass, postural stability, and psychological function. These benefits can be achieved by those who are healthy, as well as by the frail and very old. Physicians can use a simple screening test to identify patients at risk for loss of mobility and function due to muscle weakness. Exercise helps prevent hip fractures from falls by increasing bone density, coordination, balance, and muscle strength. It is also an important treatment for patients with arthritis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases of aging. Patients who exercise show improvements in depressive symptoms and sleep disorders. 67. Reevaluation of laboratory parameters in relation to histological findings in primary and secondary Sjogren's syndrome. Ohara T, Itoh Y, Itoh K Department of Clinical Pathology, Jichi Medical School, Tochigi. Intern Med 2000 Jun;39(6):457-63 OBJECTIVE: We reevaluated the diagnostic value of laboratory parameters in relation to histopathological findings in Sjogren's syndrome (SS) to clarify whether autoantibodies are useful diagnostic criteria for SS, and whether any laboratory data are useful in estimating the degree of salivary gland change. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Laboratory parameters and histopathological findings were analyzed in 96 patients examined by labial biopsy. RESULTS: The percentage of cases with positive assays of rheumatoid factor and anti-SS-A/Ro antibodies was significantly higher in Definite SS. Patients with dense mononuclear cell infiltration of salivary tissues also had higher titers of rheumatoid factor. No useful laboratory parameters were found for the diagnosis of secondary SS. CONCLUSION: Rheumatoid factor and anti-SS-A/Ro antibodies are useful for the diagnosis of primary SS, and rheumatoid factor is also an indicator of the severity of salivary glandular damage. 68. [Heredity and immunology in Sjogren's syndrome]. [Article in Norwegian] Jonsson R, Nakken B, Halse AK, Skarstein K, Brokstad K, Haga HJ Broegelmanns Forskningslaboratorium Armauer Hansens hus Haukeland Sykehus, Bergen. Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen 2000 Mar 10;120(7):811-4 BACKGROUND: Over the next 3-5 years, the rapid progress in genomic research will enable the discovery of many genes associated with the more common diseases. An example of such a common disease is the rheumatic disorder Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease. A more precise genetic explanation of the mechanism leading to Sjogren's syndrome remains to be given. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One way of investigating the disease related genes in such complex polygenic diseases is to perform linkage studies in families with two or more affected. Another possibility is to conduct association studies on trios (parents and affected child), case control studies, or other experimental designs. In association studies one is testing if an allele is significantly elevated among patients compared to controls, while in linkage analyses one finds subchromosomal regions that are significantly more often inherited by patients than by healthy family members. RESULTS: The most well defined genetic association in Sjogren's syndrome is currently related to different HLA alleles and their association with anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB autoantibodies. Additional genetic studies focusing on non-HLA regions are under way. INTERPRETATION: Increased genetic knowledge would allow optimisation of the diagnostic criteria as well as development of new and more effective treatment for Sjogren's syndrome, which causes substantial suffering for a large group of patients. 69. Anxiety and depression in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome. Valtysdottir ST, Gudbjornsson B, Lindqvist U, Hallgren R, Hetta J Department of Medical Sciences, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden. email@example.com J Rheumatol 2000 Jan;27(1):165-9 OBJECTIVE: To examine the degree of anxiety and depression and to assess well being and general symptoms in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS). METHODS: A standardized questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, was used to examine the degree of anxiety and depression in patients with primary SS (n = 62) and in age matched healthy female controls. The Gothenburg quality of life instrument (GQOL) was used to assess well being and general symptoms. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n = 38) were used as patient controls. RESULTS: The patients with primary SS had significantly higher scoring rate for "possible" clinical anxiety (48%) and for "possible" clinical depression (32%) compared with reference groups (p<0.05). The physical and mental well being of the patients with primary SS were significantly reduced compared with controls. Furthermore, patients with primary SS complained more commonly of low mood, irritability, headache, gastrointestinal symptoms, and impaired concentration and memory than the patients with RA. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that patients with primary SS often have psychiatric symptoms and worse well being, which may affect their quality of life. 70. Single-blinded controlled trial of low-dose oral IFN-alpha for the treatment of xerostomia in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. Shiozawa S, Tanaka Y, Shiozawa K Kobe University Hospital School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Science, and Kakogawa National Hospital, Japan. firstname.lastname@example.com J Interferon Cytokine Res 1998 Apr;18(4):255-62 A single-blinded controlled trial was conducted to test the efficacy of low-dose oral human interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) to improve salivary function in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. Fifty-six outpatients with primary and 4 patients with secondary Sjogren's syndrome were assigned randomly into treatment groups of either IFN-alpha or sucralfate (control). The IFN-alpha (150 IU) or sucralfate (250 mg) was given orally three times a day for 6 months. Saliva was quantitated monthly by the Saxon test. After 6 months of treatment, 15 of 30 (50%) IFN-alpha-treated patients had saliva production increases at least 100% above baseline, whereas only 1 of 30 (3.3%) sucralfate patients had a comparable increase (p < 0.001). The increase in saliva production, by treatment group, was significantly greater (p < 0.01) in the IFN-alpha treated group at every month after treatment. Serial labial salivary gland biopsies of 9 IFN-alpha responder patients showed that lymphocytic infiltration was significantly decreased (p < 0.02) and the proportion of intact salivary gland tissue was significantly increased (p = 0.004) after the IFN-alpha treatment. In this study, IFN-alpha therapy significantly improved Sjogren's syndrome salivary gland dysfunction. 71. [Cyclosporin in autoimmune diseases]. Frey FJ Medizinische Poliklinik, Inselspital Bern. Schweiz Med Wochenschr 1990 May 26;120(21):772-86 The efficacy of cyclosporine (Sandimmun) is well established in the field of organ transplantation. More recently, prospective controlled trials were performed in patients with other diseases. The efficacy of cyclosporine for the following clinical entities was proven by the trials: endogenous uveitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, myasthenia gravis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease. Furthermore, there is evidence from a controlled trial of some benefit for patients with aplastic anemia. The proteinuria of patients with glomerulonephritis was reduced by cyclosporine, though no improvement in glomerular filtration rate was observed. Large controlled trials in patients with multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis revealed a beneficial effect on some clinical parameters. Nevertheless, cyclosporine cannot be recommended for these patients at the present time, since the ratio between the (slight) beneficial effects and the side effects was unfavourable. In patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, cholestasis slightly diminished after the administration of cyclosporine. Whether this improvement in laboratory parameters predicts an improved outcome in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis has yet to be demonstrated. Some patients with recently diagnosed insulin dependent diabetes needed no further insulin therapy as long as cyclosporine was administered. This is an observation of tremendous potential practical relevance for the future, when methodology may be available for diagnosing autoimmune destruction of beta-cells before clinically overt diabetes is present. Cyclosporine combined with prednisone was slightly more efficacious in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy than prednisone alone. For all other autoimmune diseases, no controlled studies with cyclosporine are available at the present time. The most important side effects of cyclosporine are renal dysfunction, hypertension, gout, tremor, gingival hyperplasia and hypertrichosis. These side effects are manageable by appropriate dosage of cyclosporine and prophylactic measures. Side effects caused interruption of cyclosporine therapy in less than 5% of the patients. Thus, cyclosporine appears to be an efficacious new agent for treatment of some groups of patient with immune diseases. 72. Lipid imbalance involving the essential fatty acids was suggested as a possible factor in SS. United Kingdom study, published in Medical Hypotheses (1991). 73. Sjogren's syndrome. Dental role in providing relief. Sciubba JJ, Mandel ID Department of Dental Medicine, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, New Hyde Park. N Y State Dent J 1992 Aug-Sep;58(7):39-42 This oftentimes underappreciated disease carries with it severe dental implications, all of which can affect the patient's quality of life. While there is no cure, it is possible to manage disease symptoms and to prevent irreversible dental damage. 74. Effect of Bakumondo?to on salivary secretion in patients with Sjogren's syndrome.

"Small number"? Sounds like a political statement.. both of my iPads have this issue from time to time.
Yeah, I have dropped WiFi on my iPad too, and I can't even blame AT&T...
I have linksys wrt610N dual band router. My G and N networks already had different SSID's, i dont use any encyption key, just a basic mac filter.
Initially i had the same wifi problems on my ipad, it would not connect after waking up from sleep. Had this issue for a few days, then i just changed the channel frequency of the G band to 6 from 4. Now the ipad connects fine without any problems,,,, weird!!!
the ipad is JB. although open ssh is not installed as that does make the wifi signal icon go away..
Time to choose:
Working WiFi or Jailbreak
btw my iPad hasn't had any WiFi issues
Well, I'll deal with some Widi issues so I don't lose the jailbreak
Try that again - WIFI
Changing the channel on my N router seemed to help the problem as well. I still get varied signal from time to time though.
Mine does this as well. I recently upgraded to an "N" router though, and my iPad connects only to the 5ghz N channel. Since then it's been 100% reliable.
watch out for 3.2.1
i had some problems when running on N and when i switched to my G network it has been fine ever since.
i run a G and an N network and since the only benefit to N is transferring large files within your network i ididnt care about putting it on G since G can handle all of my 20 down and 1 up internet connection.
of the people i know with iPads, none of them are having problems
good. mine was returned explicitly because of this wifi issue.
I bet that they are pushing to finish this WiFi fix now that Spirit is out!
This update better come after may 28th when I get my iPad beacause I need to jailbreak it!
I have had issues re connectong to my secure wireless at home. I have had to reset the wireless password on my router in order to get my ipad to re-connect.
The only issue that I have is that after a while of not using my iPad, when I go to use it again, I need to re input my WEP password. Not a big deal...maybe we will have a 'tweak' in Cydia!
It is interesting to note what folks are saying about the issues with WiFi and their N routers - I just bought an N wireless router this weekend.
Thanks for the tips!

Creating a strategic 'defensible space' around your home could be the difference between life and death, if a wildfire threatened your property.
The whole idea of defensible space is to make sure a fire can't get near your home.
There's not much you can do when a wildfire springs up, but there's a lot you can do ahead of time to keep it from your home.
Fire Marshall Will Loesche says they want to take the 'wild' out of wildfire.
"So, if you take notice of the trees that are here, the lower branches have been cut away. But then if you look on this side, you can notice that the tree branches are still coming in contact with the ground. So as the fire creeps along the desert floor, it has a tendency to get up into those bushes, so it's now starting to climb the ladder," Loesche says.
Creating defensible space doesn't mean moonscaping your land, Loesche says. He says just trim the grasses down, and trim the trees up. Do that in the space from your home to at least 30 feet out.
Loesche says if you have a larger lot, after the first 30 feet trim less of the vegetation, but go out to about 70 feet from your home.
"If you have trees that look like this, where they're actually down touching the floor of the desert, that those branches have to be limbed up at least three to five feet so that the fire will just meander through it," he says.
Fire up in the trees can spread faster, higher and hotter.
Golder Ranch's fire strategy to create defensible space has ideas anyone can use.
Loesche says, "If you don't do any of that, and the chances of a fire coming through there --which they are right now pretty high--then it's just harder for us to do something to save your home."

Lance Armstrong plans to admit to doping throughout his career during an upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey, USA Today reported late Friday.
The interview, scheduled to be taped Monday and broadcast Thursday night on the Oprah Winfrey Network, will be conducted at Armstrong's home in Austin, Texas.
Citing an anonymous source, USA Today reported that the disgraced cyclist plans to admit using performance-enhancing drugs but likely will not get into details of the allegations outlined in a 2012 report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that led to Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life from the sport.
Armstrong representatives declined comment, including his attorney Tim Herman. The New York Times first reported last week that Armstrong was considering making a confession.
The 41-year-old Armstrong, who vehemently denied doping for years, has not spoken publicly about the USADA report that cast him as the leader of a sophisticated and brazen doping program on his U.S. Postal Service teams that included use of steroids, blood boosters and illegal blood transfusions.

This sparrow is more reddish in Missouri--the northwestern part of the range--and grayer and darker in the south. Juveniles have a distinct light-colored eye ring and dark streaked throat, breast and sides.

Atmospheric Eger boasts a fabled fortress which famously repulsed Ottoman attack in 1552, expansive cobbled streets, and a feeling of bonhomie which must have something to do with its famous Bull's Blood wine (Egri Bikavér).
Eger's historic centre stretches either side of the main square, Dobó István tér, extending to the compact, cobbled streets around the castle, northeast of the centre. Near the centre, on Knézich utca, is the elegant fourteen-sided minaret that is an iconic memento of Eger's years under Ottoman occupation.Read More
The splendid Neoclassical cathedral or basilica is the country's second largest church after Estergom. Painted the favourite Hungarian yellow, it is five minutes' walk southwest from the main square, approached by a grand set of steps. Inside, it is cheerfully decorated with toffee-coloured columns and pastel frescoes. The Lyceum opposite the cathedral is worth visiting for its library. The observatory, at the top of the tower in the east wing of the Lyceum, houses a nineteenth-century camera obscura.
Archbishop's Palace
Archbishop's Palace
On pleasant, pedestrianized Széchenyi Istvan utca 3 stands the Archbishop's Palace, a U-shaped Baroque building whose right wing houses the treasury and a history of the bishopric of Eger. Cross the bridge and head to the left to see Eger's iconic minaret extending skyward, and looking rather lonely without its mosque attached.
Uphill from Dobó István tér is the castle. You may baulk at the cost of the exhibitions here, but it is certainly worth paying to enter the castle grounds – you get a powerful sense from the inside of the sheer scale of the fortress, which is very well preserved. You can easily imagine the soldiers and local women (who volunteered to join in) in 1552 seeing off a Turkish force allegedly six times their number.
Wine Tasting in the Valley of the Beautiful Woman
Wine Tasting in the Valley of the Beautiful Woman
Just west of Eger, in the Szépasszonyvölgy – "Valley of the Beautiful Woman" – local vineyards produce Bikavér (Bull's Blood – smooth, spicy and ruby red), so called because the Ottomans believed the deep red liquid Hungarians drank to steel themselves for battle was bull's blood rather than wine. Other Hungarian varieties cultivated in the region, and on sale here, include Muskotály (semi-sweet Muscatel), Leányka (medium-dry white) and Medoc Noir (rich, dark, sweet red). Sample them all in the string of small cellars built into the hillside a twenty-minute walk from Eger (go west along Király utca to Szépasszonyvölgy). Finding your favourite cellar is a matter of luck and taste, but you may like Kiss Pinceszet at Cziky Sandor utca 15. Cellars close by 8pm.

Governor Perry is pushing a bill that would require welfare and unemployment applicants to take a drug test before getting any money.
Proponents obviously say it could save lots of tax dollars and reduce the chances that jobless Americans will use tax money to buy illegal drugs.
Opponents of such a law say it hasn't saved any tax dollars in other states, is unconstitutional and penalizes innocent children.
Consider this:
I for one am all for it. No drug test, no benefits.
First, if you're a drug addict your kids aren't getting the benefits of the government help anyway.
Second, saving money isn't the point of this law. The point is to stop people from cheating the system. Stop them from getting our money to buy illegal drugs.
Third, the government already denies unemployment to people who are fired for drugs, AND many employers require pre-employment drug screening. Why not do it all on the front end and keep the drug users out of the workplace and bring the qualified workers to the front of the line?

To be sustainable, businesses must identify and adapt to shifts that challenge conventional wisdom. These shifts can occur in technology, in politics, in regulation, in the global economy, even in the environment. And, as Timothy Law Snyder, Ph.D., Loyola's vice president for academic affairs, illustrates in this month's feature story, these shifts can also take place with regard to people, as we transition from one generation to the next.
In his interview, Dr. Snyder clearly outlines the issues managers face when hiring employees from a generation that approaches work differently than their parents and possibly their grandparents did. But he insists that while strong managers can't look past these differences entirely, they shouldn't feel stymied by them. Rather, they should learn how to capitalize on benefits of the Millennials' different attitudes toward facing challenges and objectives.
Business educators have a role to play in this, as well. If changing trends in society are affecting business, they need to affect the way we teach. At the Sellinger School, our faculty actively and intentionally engage students in group work. Our teaching enhancement workshops demonstrate excellent alternative means of educating students, including utilizing technology to enhance student education. And finally, faculty members challenge students' creativity with unstructured projects, cases, and real-world experiential learning opportunities that do not always have just one correct answer.
At the graduate level, most of our students are Generation X or Baby Boomers, managers and business leaders who have begun to hire, mentor, promote, and delegate to Millennials. The changing nature of the workforce is an important aspect of our discussions at this level—especially as we address succession planning and leadership development.
If you have thoughts on this topic—especially any insights you can lend from your own experiences with Millennials in your organization—I'd be very interested in hearing them. As always, please contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Enjoy this early spring weather,

Thanks all. I ran across this statement by NOAA on how it's caclulated. I'm not sure I can translate it into an actual number but it sounds like a fun project to play around with:
NDBC-reported wave measurements are not directly measured by sensors on board the buoys. Instead, the accelerometers or inclinometers on board the buoys measure the heave acceleration or the vertical displacement of the buoy hull during the wave acquisition time. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is applied to the data by the processor on board the buoy to transform the data from the temporal domain into the frequency domain. Note that the raw acceleration or displacement measurements are not transmitted shore-side. Response amplitude operator (RAO) processing is then performed on the transformed data to account for both hull and electronic noise. It is from this transformation that non-directional spectral wave measurements (i.e., wave energies with their associated frequencies) are derived. Along with the spectral energies, measurements such as significant wave height (WVHGT), average wave period (AVGPD), and dominant period (DOMPD) are also derived from the transformation.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A federal judge will hear arguments Wednesday on his decision to temporarily block Wisconsin's latest abortion law.
William Conley of Madison will decide whether to keep the law on hold, until he issues a final ruling on a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood and Affiliated Medical Services.
Those groups say it's unconstitutional to require abortion clinic doctors to have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles of where they normally perform their procedures.
The State Justice Department says abortion doctors need to use hospital facilities when complications arise – and they'll have several doctors testify to that fact Wednesday.
The plaintiffs say the law would drastically reduce the numbers of abortions they perform. Planned Parenthood says it would force its Appleton clinic to close.
Governor Scott Walker signed the hospital requirement into law on July 5th, and the lawsuit was filed the same day. Judge Conley put the law on hold a few days later.
The measure also requires abortion candidates to have ultrasounds before giving up their unborn babies. That part of the law is not being challenged, and it remains in place.

Cats pose a serious threat to biodiversity: Why do we accept it? What should be done?
According to the ASPCA, there are around 90 million owned domestic cats (Felis catus) in the U.S., and taking into account strays and feral cats, the total number is estimated to be as high as 160 million (1). Loss et al. (2013) estimates that cats roaming outdoors kill 1.4-3.7 BILLION birds and 6.9-20.7 BILLION mammals in the U.S. annually (2). Reptiles and amphibians such as snakes, lizards, frogs, etc., are also frequently killed by cats.
Cats are even more popular New Zealand, where they are contributing to declines of endemic birds such as the critically endangered kakapo (3), which have evolved in the absence of predators. Businessman/philanthropist Gareth Morgan is trying to gather support for legislation that would aggressively deal with stray and feral cats and potentially eliminate cats from New Zealand to take pressure off of threatened species (4 & 5). With Morgan's plan, in addition to regulation that would reduce cat populations and increase owner accountability, residents would be encouraged to not replace their cats. As of now the majority of New Zealanders surveyed are in opposition to Morgan's initiative.
Would a proposition like Morgan's meet similar resistance in the U.S.? Probably, but is he on the right track? Would you personally support something like it for your state or country? Why or why not is it a good idea? Is this type of legislation necessary to curb the problem and protect wildlife? If you disagree, what are some alternatives? Will the aesthetics and familiarity of cats keep them off limits to such ideas in the opinions of the general public?

Closing Statement from Jon Cox
Thanks to everyone who contributed to a thought provoking discussion!
I think we can all agree that we need to be responsible with our pets! For the sake of ecological and human health. And pet owners must realize that their carelessness is costly. Plans to completely eliminate cats from areas where they are very popular are pretty far fetched, but stricter regulation is a must, and domestic cats do NOT belong in the wild, period. Feral cats need to be seen and dealt with just as any other invasive species. However, extreme caution is necessary in any attempt to remove them where they have become established as a keystone species.
Check out Australian cat laws for a look at the legislation adopted by a people who cherish their native wildlife and do not want to see it be destroyed by invasives.
And lastly, we must keep in mind that invasive species are just one way in which we threaten biodiversity. Overexploitation and especially habitat loss pose even greater threats to species survival.
Thanks again!

May 7 2013: Human pose a serious threat to biodiversity : Why don't we destroy it?
Homo sapiens, commonly known as human pose a number of serious threat to biodiversity and many other problems to the environment. According to United Nations there are currently 7 billion people on the planet, and by the end of century the number expected to be 10 billion. This brings all kinds of problems such as food and water shortage etc.
we are just big trouble makers an't we? If Homo sapiens becomes extinct, there will no long be questions as such, and all forms of life will flourish on Earth.
ben headMay 7 2013: Although a so-called "final solution" would be both romantic and effective, it will never be enacted by a sane organization or party. This seems more like a sarcastic jab at the topic than a thoughtful response, as if to imply that controlling the population of a harmful invasive species is as impractical, pointless, or undesirable as "destroy all humans," but i will indulge.
Obviously, the most complete solution to the majority of anthropogenic environmental woes is simply "drastically decrease the population." Just as obvious, however, are the myriad new social and infrastructural problems that this would in turn create, and, even more so, the impracticality of bringing it to fruition. Killing millions or billions of people is not an option, and although "educate the public about the hazards of overpopulation" is actually a winning strategy (highly developed countries are finally seeing death rates outpace birth rates), it will take a very long time for humanity to "naturally" reach a sustainable and stable level (of course, the definition of a human carrying capacity mostly depends on to what degree we're willing to exploit/disrupt nature, but that is another issue). Most people are just trying to make it through the day and be happy and have no time to worry about such huge-scale problems when they're not sure if they'll be able to feed themselves or their families this week.
The point here is that "make sarcastic remarks" or "hope there's a huge war/plague that kills everyone except the people I like" is not a real solution. As outlined above, we cannot just cut our population down to a more reasonable level, so we must focus on strategies to help minimize or reverse the damage that we DO cause.
I feel like this response was a waste of time.

Ethnological Museum
Set within Haile Selassie's former palace and surrounded by the beautiful gardens and fountains of Addis Ababa University's main campus is the enthralling Ethnological Museum.
Set within Haile Selassie's former palace and surrounded by the beautiful gardens and fountains of Addis Ababa University's main campus is the enthralling Ethnological Museum.
Commissioned by Emperor Menelik II to commemorate his stunning 1896 defeat of the Italians in Adwa, and dedicated to St George (Ethiopia's patron saint), whose icon was carried into the battle, this Piazza cathedral was completed in 1911 with the help of Greek, Armenian and Indian artists.
'As if I bore them all in one night, They slew them in a single night.' These were the words spoken by the mother, whose four teenage children were all killed on the same day by the Derg, who officially opened the small but powerful 'Red Terror' Martyrs Memorial Museum in 2010.
The Gonder of yesteryear was a city of extreme brutality and immense wealth. Today the wealth and brutality are gone, but the memories linger in this amazing World Heritage Site. The entire 70,000-sq-metre compound containing numerous castles and palaces has been restored with the aid of Unesco.
Despite the dizzying grandeur of the numerous rock needles reaching for the stars, it's what's under your feet here that's most important. Amazingly, about 90% of the field hasn't yet been dug, so no matter where you walk, there's a good chance there's an undiscovered tomb with untold treasures under your feet.
Though religions have come and gone, Aksum remains a holy city throughout.
The collection on show at the National Museum is ranked among the most important in sub-Saharan Africa, but sadly many of its exhibits are poorly labelled, lit and displayed, particularly in the upper levels of the museum The palaeontology exhibit on the basement level contains fossilised evidence of some amazing extinct creatures, like the massive sabre-toothed feline.
Set on a small hill 1.
Off Niger St, this massive and ornate cathedral is the second-most important place of worship in Ethiopia (ranking behind the Old Church of St Mary of Zion in Aksum). It's also the celebrated final resting place of Emperor Haile Selassie and his wife Empress Menen Asfaw.
It might not be as well-preserved as the Royal Enclosure or as sacred as Debre Berhan Selassie, but what this royal compound, known as Kuskuam, lacks in order and holiness it more than makes up for in melancholy. The complex was built in 1730 for the redoubtable Empress Mentewab, after the death of her husband (Emperor Bakaffa).
Lalibela's rock-hewn churches , all built below ground level, aren't just carved into the rock but freed from it. And the carving, both inside and out, is exceptionally refined. Although time has treated most with gentle gloves, Unesco has built protective roofing.
Although by Ethiopian standards wildlife is fairly abundant in this dramatically beautiful 2162-sq-km park , there's no chance of an East African safari–style experience. Poaching remains a problem and the thick acacia woodland dominating the plains makes seeing what wildlife remains quite tough.

It is meant to give you information about certain medicines, but it does not cover all of the possible uses, warnings, side effects, or interactions with other medicines and vitamin or herbal supplements. This information should not be used as medical advice for individual problems. Please talk to your doctor and/or your pharmacist for prescription instructions.
Why do I need to take digitalis?
Digitalis is used to treat congestive heart failure (CHF) and heart rhythm problems (atrial arrhythmias). Digitalis can increase blood flow throughout your body and reduce swelling in your hands and ankles.
How does digitalis work?
How much do I take?
Your doctor will tell you how much of the medicine you should take, and he or she will prescribe the right amount.
What if I am taking other medicines?
Other medicines that you may be taking can increase or decrease the effect of digitalis. These effects are called an interaction. Be sure to tell your doctor about every medicine and vitamin or herbal supplement that you are taking, so he or she can make you aware of any interactions.
The following are categories of medicines that can increase or decrease the effects of digitalis. Because there are so many kinds of medicines within each category, not every type of medicine is listed by name. Tell your doctor about every medicine that you are taking, even if it is not listed below.
While on digitalis, you should also avoid caffeine and should not take diet pills, laxatives, or cough, cold, and sinus medicines.
What else should I tell my doctor?
Talk to your doctor about your medical history before you start taking digitalis. The risks of taking the medicine need to be weighed against its benefits. Here are some things to consider if you and your doctor are deciding whether you should take digitalis.
What are the side effects?
Sometimes a medicine causes unwanted effects. These are called side effects. Not all of the side effects for digitalis are listed here. If you feel any other effects, you should check with your doctor.
Serious side effects:
Common side effects:
Less common side effects:
Tell your doctor right away if you have any of these side effects. Do not stop taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to. If you stop taking your medicine without checking with your doctor, it can make your condition worse.
