This made me laugh - a dad in America has started making posters of some of the weird stuff he's found himself telling his kids (eg, "Get that toilet seat off your head. Now." "Stop riding that penguin. We're leaving.").
(You can see them all here).
Anyway, just thought I'd ask... what weird things have you found yourself telling your kids lately?

Evelyn, put the knife down...

Not to my kids but I said this to my dog today.
"I know you want to put one your jumper but there's no need to freak out!"
Yes, I talk to my dog and put jumpers on her.

Nothing happens if your bum is on your head.
No, you cannot make the Earth bigger by adding more rocks.
Feet are not for standing on.
Penises don't give birth.
Stop eating your dinner through your nose.
What are feet for at your house?

Stop licking other people's balls.

Toothpaste is not a food!
For a toddler who HATES having her teeth brushed, she seems to quite like toothpaste.
Oh and she's been known to lick me a few times recently. It's disturbing.

Stop letting the rat eat your snot.
Whose rat is this, and why is it in my kitchen.
Whose bum-fingers can I smell?
Sweetie, we really need to remember to wear underpants to the doctors.
Get your head out of the freezer.
Just be quiet and eat your McDonalds/Icecream/Lollies
I could go on.....

Finish your chocolate first, THEN you can have an apple.
To my son before we worked out that chocolate was what was causing his behavioural difficulties. He'd been going through a stage where he would take a bite of a food then dump it in favour of another one and I was sick of the wastage.

Albany -- The Mims case has raised new questions about whether post-graduate degrees and the accompanying bonuses produce positive results in the classroom. It's an ongoing debate with few solid answers.
A new study conducted by the University of Washington and the Urban Institute shows a thin link between teachers who have upper level degrees and student performance. The study points out less than three quarters of a point change in student test scores in classes where teachers had completed additional training or obtained degrees above a bachelors. It's theory many don't accept.
"I tend to disagree with that," says South Georgia teacher Gwen Phillips.
Phillips a teacher at Radium Springs Elementary, who has a masters degree, says the bonus is an incentive for her to earn her PHD. She believes there is a strong link between students' performance and the teachers' education.
"Child do not just sit and do paper and pencil work any more we have different learners we have auditory learners some of them have to put their hand on things," says Phillips.
But the evidence that directly links student performance to teacher education is inconclusive. One reason is that factors like poverty and home life play a strong role in how students learn.
Paying teachers more for furthering their education doesn't come cheap. This year state will pay almost seven million dollars with bigger within the next four year. Even without direct evidence, it's a price school officials say they're willing to pay.
"The things that they can share with their students is what we are paying for and result of their education and the additional education they have," says Ted Horton executive director of curriculum for Dougherty County.Schools.
Educators are taking a risk and putting a price tag on the education of the next generation.
The Georgia House of Representatives recently added a provision to a bill to expand the teacher education bonus program to include other members of a school's staff.

Read By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept
The train was waiting and she was sitting there reading. I saw her through the open doors. I walked in, took a seat infront of her, and I photographed her. She became aware of me after I took the shot. Instinctively, I knew that her awareness was informed. She looked up and asked, "Are you the underground?". I hesitated for a moment, as I wondered myself if I was the underground. Then I quickly said yes. She took my hand and held it, so warmly, like we were already connected. I won't forget it. That moment will be a part of me. It will enrich my work. Thank you.

Pesto is Basil, Parmesan, Almonds, Olive Oil, and Garlic, put through a food processor. Amazing stuff. Then you can mix it into mayonnaise for an awesome sauce for meals. Give it a try, its good stuff! (better homemade FYI).

UpWords - Week of January 18-24
Find a church congregation that believes in confession. Avoid a fellowship of perfect people—you won't fit in anyway. Seek one where members confess their sins and show humility, where the price of admission is simply an admission of guilt.
Healing happens in a church like this. Jesus said, "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." (Matthew 6:14-15). Jesus also said, "If we say we have no sin, we're fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what's right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done." (I John 1:8-10)
Not— He might cleanse us, He could, would, or has been known to cleanse us. He WILL cleanse us! Oh the sweet certainty of His words!

Before & After: Brad & Celestyn's Reclaimed Wood Wall
From Celestyn:
This is a pretty great "up-cycle" done by my super talented husband for the front office of our family business, Repla Prints. He broke down old pallets (FREE!!) and aged them by rubbing them with steel wool that had been soaking in apple cider vinegar before putting them onto the wall. He used the ugly existing desk and made an amazing privacy cover around it. The top is 2x6's glued and clamped together and sanded for a smooth finish. For around $200 (the price of some lumber and paint) we have a makeover we love!
Thanks, Brad & Celestyn!
Have your own Before & After project you'd like to share with the editors? Submit it here.

Completely transforms the space. Adds warmth and character.
Really awesome - great addition to the office. I think something like this would look even more spectacular in a larger room.
Fantastic! I would like to know how the boards were mounted to the wall? Glue? Nails? This would be something I might like to do in the future. :)
Impressive! Nice work!
I can't believe that is the same room. Wow! Very nice.
that looks awesome, i would also choose either a larger piece of art or a small gallery.... and i would get a reallly tall leafy plant instead of the smaller one you have there.
this is an amazing transformation. i absolutely love it.
Your husband is the shit.
Horizontal wood walls look really nice. This really redefines "wood paneling" for me.
Wow, this is maybe my favorite Before & After yet.
Very nice - shows what vision and creativity can do.
It's gorgeous.
Congrats on getting 13 comments before someone freaked out about ZOMG pallets are chemically treated and they will off-gas and kill all your famileez!
Omg. I want this right now!
Love the transformation. I would hire you just based on that space.
It gives a old factory loft look to the room. It's a little dark for my tastes, but I suspect that it's just the photo (the desk face looks normal exposure, which would darken the pallet wall).
Love it!
Clarification, was the steel wool or the boards soaked in the vinegar?
Love it!
Looks great!...helps to have one of those 'super-talented husbands'--I've got the ideas, but the husband lacks the talent--I know, I know--what's holding me back, right?
Impressive $200 makeover...looks like WAY more was spent. The execution is very professional looking. Somebody knows what they're doing.
WOW one accent wall and it changes everything (for the better)!
Agree...love the transformation. From blah to "come on in" !
Thanks everyone! We soaked steel wool in apple cider vinegar for about 24 hours (if you want it to appear even more aged, let it soak for longer) and brushed the pallet wood with it. Brad mounted plywood to the wall first and nailed the treated pallet planks to that. It was time consuming but well worth it.
He is not a contractor - just very talented. (We are in the decorated apparel / promotional products business.)
Completely agree about the art - We're trying to find the perfect art for the space, this is just what we had lying around.
It's not as dark in person as the picture makes it look.
Looking forward to our next project - our unfinished basement!!
The wood added much needed warmth. Good job!
Very nice!
yes. please don't lick your pallet wall--that would be very unhealthy. splinters...
the wall is amazing but i'm more impressed by the desk surround and bookcase that he built, it looks amazing yet also reused the desk you already had, just made a "slipcover" for it, kind of. very nice!!

I hate wood panel walls (prob. due to too much exposure to bad 60s/70s wood paneling) but this wall is fantastic! Congratulations.

A company which breeds dogs for vivisection has defended its application to modernise its facilities after campaigners staged a protest in Bristol at the weekend.
A group of animal rights activists from pressure group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) held a static protest outside the Bristol offices of the Planning Inspectorate at Broad Quay on Saturday.
The group covered their faces with beagle masks and held placards saying "No to Grimston Beagle Farm" – a facility owned by B & K Universal in Yorkshire.
PETA is demanding that the Planning Inspectorate refuse permission for B & K Universal to modernise its beagle dog breeding facility. The planning application has already been refused by Grimston Council but the company has appealed to the Planning Inspectorate.
"This factory farm for dogs wouldn't just breed puppies for toxic chemical tests in the UK," said Peter Currie, Policy Adviser for PETA, "it would also likely sell dogs overseas to countries where animals in laboratories have even less protection than they do here."
The group is calling for the Inspectorate to refuse the plan on the basis of public opposition to animal experiments.
B & K Universal is a subsidiary of US lab animal supplier Marshall Farms which, according to PETA, has been repeatedly reprimanded by US authorities on grounds of animal welfare violations. The planned facility would have no outside access for the animals, the group claims. PETA says that dogs are mainly used for toxicity testing in the UK including tests with pesticides and other toxic chemicals.
A spokesman for B & K Universal said that the company is not expanding their operations but merely seeking to modernise their existing facilities which have been in operation since the 1960s, with B & K acquiring ownership in 1972.
The company states that the application will therefore have no impact on the numbers of animals they supply for research since there are tough rules that govern the use of animals for this purpose. The company also maintains that government vets and doctors make regular checks, often unannounced, in order to make sure the animals are properly treated.
"The testing is only approved by the Home Office after a full harm-benefit analysis has been performed," a spokesman for B & K said. "The research must always be done using the animal species with the lowest capacity to experience pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm – dogs are only used when absolutely necessary."
Animal experimentation remains a contentious issue in the UK. Medical researchers insist that animal experiments have saved and improved the lives of millions of people and that many of today's human and veterinary medicines and medical procedures could not have been developed without some procedures on animals.
Animal rights and anti-vivisection groups continue to dispute this saying that vivisection is not necessary for human health.

Whether it is working on a project together with new power tools or cooking some barbecue out in the backyard, Father's Day has become an annual way to not only thank fathers for their hard work, but also to show them how much they mean to their family.
The annual holiday was signed into law in 1972 by President Richard Nixon, but Father's Day had been celebrated years prior, as people across the United States took a day to recognize the efforts their fathers took to put meals on the table and a roof over their heads.

WHITING | Kouts coach Tim McNeil admits that his ace can have that one bad inning now and then, but he ultimately knows she'll come through in the end.
Easten McNeill did exactly that in Monday night's Class A Whiting Sectional opening-round 12-3 win over LaCrosse.
She went the distance, allowing three runs on four hits and struck out 10, but had a troublesome fourth inning after LaCrosse tallied two on a single and two errors.
"She can be dominant at times, but there's that one inning," McNeil joked. "It's been like that since she was 8."
Kouts (11-10) struck first with a run in the first after left fielder Alyse Rosenbaum reached via error and got to second on an errant throw. She was driven home on a Kelsey Blood sac fly.
The Fillies scored again in the second thanks to a Jenna Jessen RBI single.
Kouts then exploded for eight runs in the third, which was highlighted by a two-run double from Blood.
"Over the last month, we've struggled with the hit-and-run, but we had good, timely hits today," McNeil said.
LaCrosse (6-18) also had the bases loaded with one out in the fifth, but they came away with just one after McNeill struck out the next two.
"It's a young team," LaCrosse coach David Amor said. "The future bodes well because seven of our players are sophomores, including our pitcher."
In the first game of the day, Morgan Twp. crushed Bowman Academy 24-3 in five innings.
With everyone but one player scoring for the Cherokees (6-15), Katie Bachert led the way by going 3-for-4 with a home run, five RBIs and two runs while Sarah Michalec added two hits, four runs, and three RBIs.
Catcher Alisha Hayes went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run for the Eagles (1-10).
"It's a disadvantage to have a draw like this because of the slow pitching," Morgan Twp. coach Larry Babcock said. "We have to hit the ball a little better because we hit a lot in the air. We also have to eliminate the errors, too."

Austin — Officials at the Texas Tech University System Monday announced the establishment of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) at El Paso as the fourth university under the TTU System.
The announcement came after Governor Rick Perry signed S.B. 120, authored by state Senator José Rodríguez and sponsored by state Rep. Naomi Gonzalez, both of El Paso. TTUHSC at El Paso joins Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (headquartered in Lubbock) and Angelo State University as a freestanding institution of the TTU System.
"This is a great day for the Texas Tech University System and the community of El Paso," said TTU System Chancellor Kent Hance. "We are proud of the outstanding work completed as a regional campus and excited to continue our commitment to the area as an independent university."
El Paso is home to the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine and the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing, each of which will graduate its first class of students during the May TTUHSC commencement ceremonies. TTUHSC at El Paso is also home to a Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
Preparations for the transition from a regional campus to a freestanding university with degree-granting authority have been underway since 2011. The TTU System Board of Regents gave its approval for undertaking this initiative in May 2012.
"Establishing an independent health sciences university is a significant milestone for the Texas Tech family and the result of so many people's hard work," said Mickey Long, chairman of the Board of Regents. "We are thrilled to complete the process of adding a new university to the TTU System and continue the momentum in the El Paso region."
As an independent university, TTUHSC at El Paso will benefit regional priorities by promoting access to health care and attracting more doctors and health care professionals to the area. Additionally, the university will be able to focus its research on diseases affecting Latino and border populations and provide quality care in a medically underserved region.
"We are grateful to our governor and state legislators who helped make this goal a reality," Hance said. "The future is exciting, and we look forward to great things out of El Paso."
Governor Rick Perry issued the following statement regarding the signing of Senate Bill 120, which adds the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso to the Texas Tech University System as an independent institution within the system:
"With Texas's unprecedented population growth comes increased demand on important services, such as health care. SB 120 will help Texas keep up with our growing population's unique medical needs, reaffirming our commitment to improving access to and the quality of health care in our state while ensuring Texas students have a variety of higher education options."

It looks like buildings weren't the only things Osama was into having blown!
Osama Bin Laden »
The situation room photoshop you knew was going to happen….
Perhaps we can forgive the Germans their over enthusiasm when they sent someone to search for a U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six logo.
What everybody failed to notice was that the logo they ran was in fact for the Maquis, a bunch of 24th century Star Trek terrorists.
The folks at TrekMovie.com who broke this story even persuaded a German friend to translate part of the N24 presenter's text. It reportedly included the words: "They don't have the skull in their emblem for nothing."
Locher didn't seem to notice (or care) that the skull in question was from a Klingon and included a bolted-on eyepatch. He and N24 also appear undeterred by the emblem's inclusion of a phaser, 3 Klingon bat'leth swords and the word "Maquis." The original Maquis were a French resistance guerrilla group who (ironically) fought against German occupation in World War II. That group inspired the name for the Maquis seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who fought against Cardassia in former Federation colonies.

diverse backgrounds. The large conference, mandatory for all BCRP grantees, that the Army is planning for late 1997 (mentioned above) has quite a different purpose. It appears to be primarily a means of monitoring research progress. The committee views the original IOM recommendation to fund small interdisciplinary meetings that foster cross-fertilization as important and consistent with the current BCRP mission.
As discussed in Chapter 5, the 1993 IOM committee recommended that funds not be restricted to proposals that deal solely or directly with breast cancer, but, instead, that funds be allocated to support the best proposals as long as the work is relevant to at least one of the six fundamental questions that the committee identified. It explained that many of the discoveries that have benefited breast cancer patients arose from research that did not address breast cancer directly. The current committee's review of abstracts of funded projects in the 1993/1994 and 1995 funding cycles, determined that the portfolio covers research and training topics that are responsive to all six questions posed in the IOM 1993 report. As Chapter 5 also points out, the questions are sufficiently broad so that almost all abstracts could be classified into one or more categories, with the exception of epidemiology. Because the fundamental question that was directed to epidemiology had focused on the need for research relating epidemiological findings to changes occurring at the cellular and molecular level (''molecular epidemiology"), the committee created an additional category for standard epidemiological research projects. The fundamental areas of breast cancer research thus defined (see Table 5-11) appear adequately covered in the FY 1993/1994 and FY 1995 cycles (Tables 5-12a,b and 5-13a,b). The data in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 reveal that funding in these areas was proportionate to the number of proposals received. Thus, neither scientific reviewers nor IP members appeared to be biased against proposals in these research areas and an effort should be made to increase the number of submissions.

The Los Angeles Kings Jarret Stoll might not have a job right now, but that didn't stop him from scoring with one of the most eligible bachelorettes in sports: Erin Andrews. The Fox Sports reporter and the hockey player spent New Years Eve together, ringing in the new year together with her friends, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. And it very much looked like a couples evening out. Terez Owens reports that the two have been dating for a while now. Stoll has previously been linked to Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of Wayne Gretzky, as he took part in her Instagram marketing campaign to become the next "famous for doing nothing" girl. And Andrews has been linked to hockey players before- members of the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers Center Brad Richards, as well as the NFL- Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. .

The City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Downtown Council announced on Sept. 19 that New York firm James Corner Field Operations and its team have been selected to carry out the $40 million redesign of Nicollet Mall, a major cultural and commercial center in Downtown Minneapolis. The winning proposal, called the "Nicollet Walk", is a 12-block stretch that divides the Nicollet Mall into three sections: Live, Work, and Play.

 James Corner presented his team's project at a public event last Tuesday with the two other finalists: Daoust Lestage of Montreal and Tom Leader Studio from Berkeley, CA.

Some members of Chicago's design community have said privately that the Navy Pier project's parameters, which limited the scope of changes, stifled creative possibilities, even for highly regarded designers such as Corner. "Anything that makes it more parklike is all to the good," said eclectic Chicago architect Stanley Tigerman. "It can only go up, architecturally."

As contemporary governments and citizens increasingly demand that reclaimed landfills be many things to many people — energy producers, social nodes, memorials — and also that they interface with local infrastructure, we would do well to study the historical precedent of Monte Testaccio... [whose] longevity and vitality make it an ideal model of what a landfill can become: an agent of civic engagement and an urban catalyst. This is the promise of landfill reclamation.

 The reuse of waste and remediation of landfills have inspired some of the most innovative contemporary landscape and urban design projects. On Places, Michael Ezban looks back two millennia and explores Monte Testaccio, the great garbage dump of imperial Rome. In this enduring landform — "a mountain of detritus in a city of storied hills" — he finds a dynamic precedent for landfill reclamation.

The team led by James Corner Field Operations has been selected as the winner in the international Navy Pier Redesign Competition. The Pierscape concept is part of the larger vision for Chicago's famous Navy Pier called The Centennial Vision, which seeks to make the "People's Pier a truly iconic and world-class destination as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2016."

 The JCFO Team also included Terry Guen Design Associates, nArchitects, Leo Villareal, L'Observatoire International, Ed Marszewski, Fluidity, Patrick Blanc, John Greenlee & Associates, Chris Wangro, Billings Jackson, Buro Happold, Primera, HR&A Advisors, ETM Associates, Bruce Mau Design, and d'Escoto, Inc.

 The winning proposal beat out stiff competition from the other four finalist teams, AECOM/Bjarke Ingels Group, Aedas Architects/Davis Brody Bond/Martha Schwartz Partners, !melk/HOK/Urban Lab, and Xavier Vendrell Studio/Grimshaw Architects.

Initial designs for the third and final section of the High Line were released Monday by Friends of the High Line. Section 3 will wrap around the striking stretch of rail yards at the center of the Hudson Yards project. The new stretch will pick up where the completed section ends at 30th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues, continue west to 12th Avenue, turn north, and then head back east at 34th Street for about half a block.

Santa Monica's $46.1 Mil Park Moves Forward. A crowd of about 200 Santa Monicans were on hand at the June 14 Santa Monica City Council's consideration of the planned public parks to be placed in front of city hall. After a presentation by designer James Corner followed by a lovefest of public comment, the council proceeded with overall design plans and construction documents for Palisades Garden Walk, despite its $46.1 million price tag.

 Now, I will quote myself when I said this to the journalist friend who asked my opinion on the proposal.

 "The real critique of this park is not only the physical aspects of the complicated site but the "consumerist development" Santa Monica had adopted since the 80's on.
 James Corner's park could be real useful if he understands this development policy that changed the personality of Santa Monica and somehow pairs its "gin fizz urbanism" with the real community "DNA" of Santa Monica as the "people's city." In short, if he can negotiate and balance it with consuming tourists and wealthy gentrification, then, perhaps, we would see a really good park for the money.
 Without being nostalgic, Santa Monica could use a little inspiration from the old negative propaganda of intrepid developers, where it was regarded as "Peoples Republic of Santa Monica." Within the context of the late shiny developments, the city could now own this old misplaced adage and be proud of its progressive ...

In conjunction with the National Student Employment Association (NSEA) and the Northeast Student Employment Administrators (NEASEA), Keuka College annually celebrates National Student Employment Week during the second full week in April.
Because the work-study student employees at Keuka are vital to the daily operation of our institution, we use this week to recognize and show our appreciation for their hard work and contributions.
Student employees are an integral part of our community and showing them they are appreciated, is a nice gesture and the least we can do. Many departments say "Thank You" to student employees in unique ways. In the past, departments/divisions have celebrated this week by:

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
I posted a blog at the beginning of the season that the Blazers needed Batum, Wes, Lillard, Hickson, and LA to play like superheroes this season if Portland was going to experience any success. So much had been written about the free-agency drama this summer with Nicholas (and his delightful agent), which continued through the start of the season about not living up to his contract, a lack of consistency, and a genuine distain for the word "patience." Now over a third into the season, those conversations regarding Batum have changed drastically, if not disappeared entirely. And here's why:
Batum has played through illness and a tough injury to his back that hampered him for half a dozen or more games because, as he put it, "the team needs me." He has missed only 1 of 34 games. And during that time, he has asks Stotts to allow him to guard the best opposing team players and shuts them down. Don't let the smile and playful demeanor fool you. Batum knows exactly what he is doing.
In 33 games, Batum:
Recorded the only 5x5 in the NBA since Andre Kirilenko in 2005-06 season
(11 Pts, 10 Ast, 5 Reb, 5 Blk, 5 Stl)
Has more 8 or more assist games of any non-guard (7), except LeBron James
Has the most Double Doubles in Points/Assists for any non-PG (2), other than James
Ranks 33rd in Assists per Game (4.5) among players with 25 or more games played
Ranks 7th in APG among non-PGs with at least 25 games played
Ranks 3rd in Blocks Per Game (1.2) for all non- PF/Cs and tied with Kevin Durant
Ranks 5th in Minutes Per Game (38.5) and tied with James
Ranks 24th in Steals Per Game (1.5) and tied with James and Wesley Matthew!
(Shameless Blazer Plug!)
Ranks 40th in Points Per Game (16.3)
Ranks 79th in Rebounds per Game (5.5) which isn't great, but consider, Batum -
And in the last 5 minutes of games, when the game is within 5 points (In the Clutch), Batum's True Shooting Percentage is up from 57.4% to 64.6%, and from every spot behind the 3 point line, he is killing it: 3-6 from the corner, and 7-16 from the wings. In fact, look at his +/- stats on the season:
(A nearly 54 point swing.)
For those of us that have watched Batum's patent, chase down blocks, aly-oop dimes, Spidey-sense steals, and clutch - even game winning – threes, Batum is living up to every cent of his contract. His athleticism, length, and skill set are so unique that his presence on the court makes scoring AND defending a nightmare for opposing teams. The only thing Batum can't do is shoot spider webs from his wrists. But even Spider Man wasn't very accurate with those webs when he first started fighting crime. And face it, Batum has only just begun.
UPDATE: With 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block, Batum single handedly kept Portland in the game versus the defending NBA champion, Miami Heat. Down 13 with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, his play was vital in bringing Portland dead even with 4 minutes to play, eventually allowing Wes Matthews to shut the door in the final minute for a spectacular 92-90 Blazer win.
These are great! Love the graphics...Marvel Blazers rock!
I know right? There couldn't possibly be another explaination for 20 wins at this point, ya?

Leopoldo Pozuelo, MD Section Head of Consultation Psychiatry
It is common for someone to feel sad or depressed after a heart attack, cardiac surgery or procedure, recent hospitalization, or new diagnosis of heart disease. These emotions may be the result of not knowing what to expect or not being able to do simple tasks without becoming overly tired. Early detection and treatment of depression in heart patients are crucial to improve a patient's quality of life and possibly prevent a recurrent coronary event. Safe treatments are available to help you cope with depression and help you manage your heart disease. Cleveland Clinic Psychiatrist Leopoldo Pozuelo, MD answers your questions about stress and heart disease.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Welcome to our Online Health Chat with Dr. Leopoldo Pozuelo. We are thrilled to have him here today for this chat so thank you for joining us. Let's begin with the questions.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Thank you for having me today.
MikeG: How good is the evidence for either depression or anxiety being a risk factor for a first cardiovascular event? How good is the evidence that treating either depression or anxiety will reduce the risk of a first cardiovascular event?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Depression is a very strong risk factor predisposing patients for cardiac disease. Although the evidence is not as strong for anxiety of disorders, we do believe it can make the course of heart disease more difficult.
lmgaiso: How strong is the evidence that treating anxiety will prevent a first cardiovascular event or slow atherosclerosis from progressing?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: There is a lot of research going on in this arena at present - even though there is not one definitive treatment yet to show that by decreasing anxiety one's risk of heart disease will necessarily go down, we still see that treated anxiety leads to healthy benefits to the heart and mind.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Examples would be better resting heart rate; less predisposition for flair ups of arrhythmias; and of course overall better sense of health. When one is less anxious you eat better, you exercise more; you enjoy the company of your friends and family to a much higher degree, which can all lead to better management of cardiac risk factors.
lmgaiso: Is talk therapy or medicine better for preventing a first cardiovascular event or slowing atherosclerosis progression when treating anxiety?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: We don't have a definitive answer. We try to do talk therapy first. If the patient's quality of life is significantly affected, we will recommend medication treatment for anxiety in conjunction with the therapy.
lmgaiso: Is talk therapy or medicine better for preventing a first cardiovascular event or slowing atherosclerosis progression when treating depression?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: The same applies to what I discussed earlier regarding anxiety. We have currently available very safe anti-depressants that mix very well with typical cardiac medications.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Dr. Pozuelo, can you please explain what exactly is Talk Therapy?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: The key focus with talk therapy in treating depression or anxiety in heart patients is to focus on the here and now - and not so much about past events. It is a dynamic, active dialog with the therapist in which the therapist takes on a coaching role in treating anxiety, depression in the setting of heart disease. To a large degree patients who encounter a major cardiac event receive the benefits of motivation, lifestyle change and group support when they successfully enroll in a cardiac rehabilitation program. Cardiac rehab has been shown to improve both the physical and the mental aspects of the cardiac patient. Here at the Cleveland Clinic we are very aggressive in making sure every eligible cardiac patient is referred to a cardiac rehabilitation program.
jerrymk1: I do not have heart disease but my dad did. I have been watching what I eat and try to exercise but I have a very stressful job. Just how much role does stress play in heart disease?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: We know that stress has negative effects on the body and emotionally affects your over all well being. It sounds like you are being very proactive in modifying your risk factors. (unfortunately we can't undo genetics), but you can modify other cardiac risk factors that benefit from healthy behaviors, good lifestyle and this is where good stress management makes a lot of sense. Keep doing what you are doing.
lmgaiso: how strong is the evidence that mediation helps prevent or slow CAD
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: There is some evidence that meditation can lead toward favorable effects on cardiac tone, blood pressure, circulation. In addition to making you feel good and being a very useful form of stress management, it also has favorable effects on the heart.
lmgaiso: How important is sleep for CAD? what is the quality of the evidence?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: There is a strong correlation with sleep disorders including sleep apnea and worse cardiac disease. More and more clinicians are screening for sleep disorders and treating it as another potential cardiac risk factor. In addition, sleep disturbances has a significant impact on mood and quality of life.
lmgaiso: setting aside sleep disorders such as sleep apnea is the length of sleep correlated to CAD. For example, my life is complicated enough that babies or business prohibits the amount of time I sleep. It seems that I often feel that I could have used 1 more hours. One or two nights a week I feel that I could have used 2 more hrs. However, at least once a week I get what feels like a full night or catch up sleep. Can you remember residency?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Many Americans suffer from poor sleep hygiene and more and more clinicians are stressing the beneficial effects of good sleep patterns on both the body and the mind.
Cynthia: I have experienced panic attacks with increased heart rate due to stress in the past. (I was able to work through this). I was also diagnosed with SVT, corrected through ablation. I have now been diagnosed with occasional a-fib (doctor referred to it as a-fib, but it is not chronic type). Various tests revealed no causes. They think it may be hereditary. I only have experienced this at night or when at rest, and very rarely, but it can produce a lot of anxiety due to anticipation of an event. I am actually afraid to travel. Can it be stress induced? Or, can it be related to lack of proper vitamins/minerals or other imbalances in my system? My cardiologist pooh-poohs this theory, although he wants me to take omega-3 supplements, which I do. I also take 400 mg magnesium tablets daily. I have also been on levothyroxin for low thyroid for a few years. After adding magnesium (my plan) I seem to experience less extra beats now (which also cause anxiety). Is this my imagination? I am in general good health, do not smoke, and am not overweight. I guess I need to know if I am doing the right things, and if there is anything else I may do to prevent a-fib events in the future.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: In every type of arrhythmia - abnormal heart rhythm - it can be very common to experience anticipatory anxiety, heightened sensations from the heart and constant preoccupation or worry about ones health. Treatment for anxiety, specifically a form of talk therapy, called cognitive behavioral therapy can be very effective in decreasing overall anxiety. You should inquire about a good therapist, psychologist, counselor that does this type of therapy.
historybuff: I am a 61 year old male that was diagnosed with Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation 10 years ago. All six of my episodes required hospitalization and occurred during stressful work weeks as a middle school teacher. My AFib has no known cause and because I also had chest pain I have had all the tests and no heart disease is present. Since I retired four years ago I have been AFib free with only an occasional chest pain. I have always been an easily stressed person when under time and task pressures. Is there a connection between stress and anxiety and the onset of an AFib "attack"?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Yes - Yes and Yes. WE are finding out more and more that levels of stress heightened anxiety can exacerbate (make worse) underlying rhythms such as atrial fibrillation. Good wellness principles, diet, exercise; relaxation techniques can be very helpful in managing one's cardiac arrhythmias.
DRJ110145: Had pulmonary ablation for psvt last June. Seems to be under control, but I am sensitive to feelings in chest and arms. Am told there is nothing wrong with heart; cholesterol little high, but HDLs are in great shape and all other markers ok. From time-to-time take .125mg of xanax. Hit the treadmill 4-5 days for 4 miles in 1 hr. Heart rate fluxgates from high of 137 when feeling anxious with recovery rate @ 110. Today peaked @ 112 w/ recovery @95. I know I worry too much, but do have bouts of anxiety/depression (?). Should I consider medication that I would take daily indefinitely, vs. when I get my bouts?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: First of all - I think you are doing well and I wish I could exercise as much as you do. As stated before, people with arrhythmias can be left more sensitive to their own heart beat and heart sensations. This is common and can predispose the patient to be more anxious about their health (checking their pulse, checking their heart rate), when the doctors tell you that everything is ok.
What we do in these cases, is encourage patients in part with the coaching therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to actually check your pulse and your blood pressure allot less. The goal is to slowly but firmly free yourself from these checking behaviors. Sometimes in addition to the CBT, medications short term such as xanax can help achieve these goals. Other times - and I would discuss with your primary care physician - one of the safe anti-depressants called SSRIs can be very helpful in decreasing the anxiety if despite all the above it still remains high.
jk_miller: I have palpitations and irregular beats but they are not serious and I don't want to go on medications. My friend told me to check out biofeedback. What is that? Do you need a prescription for it?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Biofeedback is a type of relaxation therapy where you learn to modulate your body's responses to stress. Decreased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, better circulation can be achieved by using this type of therapy in addition to deep breathing exercises. Certain therapists practice biofeedback and you should inquire. You do not need a prescription for it.
Paula: Dear Doctor, I have both v-tach and a-fib problems and have a pacemaker and defibrillator. My ejection fraction was at 30 following surgery so they put me with the "heart failure" support group. They said 50% of the patients with that diagnosis don't live beyond 5 years. After 2 months of low sodium diet and the new pacemaker, my ejection fraction is 60 and they took me out of the "heart failure" range as that is normal heart muscle. I can't help feeling anxious whenever I feel ill that I am getting sicker again. I am even taking the occasional valium lately (I do not drink or smoke). This seems to help. Any other ideas would be welcome! Thanks Paula1948
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Thank you for this very genuine comment and patient experience. It has to be frightening to be told you have significant heart failure which carries a higher risk of death. However, your cardiology team and organizations such as the American Heart Association are very aggressive about treating heart failure with medications and exercise. And - people can get good results - like you have. One of the things to focus on is not what can happen to you but that you strive and succeed in achieving a good quality of life.
maryb: I have been told my ejection fraction is now 25%. I was fine and had a virus and now I have heart damage. When reading on the internet it said that depression and stress can be bad for heart failure but how can you help but be sad when this happens to you. I am at a loss for what to do. I started medications. Not sure if I should be exercising, not sure what my future will be. frankly I am depressed I think.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: There is about a 30% incidence of clinical depression in patients with heart failure. You are not alone. More and more cardiology clinicians are screening for and treating depression with patients that have CHF. Encourage you to talk to your clinicians about how you are feeling and how you are coping.
Smithb: I have mitral valve prolapse and it is not severe - the doctors are keeping an eye on it but there is really no treatment at this time. I often have feelings that my heart rate is running away - are there any relaxation exercises or calming medications that would help?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: It is not unusual to have some anxiety symptoms with mitral valve prolapse. Good to hear that it is not severe. Exercise, time for yourself, relaxation techniques, yoga, and socialization are all non-pharmacological approaches in treating or optimizing anxiety.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: If despite this, you need more assistance, would not hesitate to see a therapist for CBT. Medications for anxiety would be another option but would discuss with your physician first.
cc83: My dad had heart surgery about 4 weeks ago and he has been very depressed. I can't motivate him to get up and walk. He says he is tired and I know he needs to walk. What did he go through all that for if he is just going to sit around all the time? How long does depression after heart surgery take to go away?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: This is the type of depression post CABG that you want diagnosed and treated. My recommendation is to talk directly to your dad's doctor. Have him seen and assessed for depression - and treated aggressively for it.
wandwe: as a caregiver, is there something that I can look out for? after heart surgery my husband seems depressed, but he keeps brushing it off.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: This is always a challenge to caregivers. I would encourage your husband to begin an exercise regimen which of itself can lift mood. If your husband qualifies, a referral to cardiac rehabilitation is a must and can help your husband get through the slump.
JJazzely: Going into major heart surgery what would you suggest patients can do to be mentally prepared, and once out of surgery how they can maintain good mental health?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Having a good mental attitude surrounding yourself with good support and committing yourself to a good rehabilitation program are all key ingredients of a successful recovery.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Educating yourself about the surgery, hospital stay and recovery always help to know what to expect and how your family, friends can be of help.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: You can visit our website or go to the American Heart Association for resources.
123io: I was having chest pains and fast heart rate. I went to the cardiologist but he said there is nothing wrong with me - it is panic or anxiety attacks. I am not sure what to do now. what do you suggest?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Get the panic attacks treated! Talk to your primary care physician first. Many good family doctors know how to treat panic disorder and panic attacks.
leeJ: I keep having panic attacks - chest pain, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and my blood pressure goes up. I am having a fast heart rate. I can't sleep. What do you think it is? I have taken some xanax and it isn't helping - could it be my heart?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Important as always to get it checked out medically - but if your doctor determines the heart is fine, there is a strong possibility this could be an anxiety disorder. At times xanax (pure anti-anxiety medications) are not enough and you should talk to your doctor about other forms of treatment, whether medication or the coaching therapy CBT discussed previously.
sarah12: I have to go in for a TEE next week and I am scared out of my mind. Is there anything you can suggest to do to help me relax prior to the test?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: You are not the only patient that this happens to. Listening to relaxation tapes, soothing music a couple days before and even the morning of the procedure can be very helpful. Many clinicians welcome patients having their own IPOD or mp3 players to play relaxation music or guided imagery prior to procedures.
hjkl_0987: How much stress is bad stress - where its bad for your health?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: We all function with some level of stress and for some of us it motivates us and helps us accomplish our goals. The tipping point is different for all of us. When the level of stress significantly starts to affect your overall quality of life, this is usually a good rule of thumb that you have to institute some changes.
historybuff: I know from experience that meditation and other relaxation techniques help reduce my anxiety and stress but I still don't do them enough even if I have time. It seems as if I'm addicted to stress or at least it seems my normal state. Can you be addicted to stress and even create it to feel normal?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: The tolerance for stress varies from individual to individual and as stated earlier a certain amount of stress is beneficial to help one achieve their goals and aspirations.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Striking the balance is the key.
lynch007: How can you tell if you are depressed? What is the difference between being sad and being depressed?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Great question. Sadness describes your mood which could be low and all of us experience some of this at some time or another.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Depression is more than just sadness. It is accompanied by lack of interest in activities, lack of pleasure, poor concentration. poor appetite and low energy among other symptoms.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Talk to your doctor, spouse, family, friends to see where your level of sadness is at. If necessary get treatment.
tttrwe: What is the connection between depression and the heart? What does it do?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: We believe depression can affect heart disease by altering heart tone, increasing platelet activity, increasing cortisol levels as well as increasing inflammation.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Either by the above or in combination with poor wellness behaviors seen in depression (increased smoking, decreased exercise, and decreased socialization) cardiac patients that are depressed do worse.
sar32: I read from a study that women are more prone to developing depression than men - is this true? if so why?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: We don't know exactly why, but there is a higher incidence of depression in women than in men.
historybuff: Since I retired I have less stress and more time for exercise, relaxation and other positive things to reduce my stress and anxiety. I still have periods of mild anxiety and depression. Besides doing more meditation, are there any foods, supplements, etc. to help with mild anxiety and depression.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: We don't have great trials of herbal medications that are affective in treating moderate depression or anxiety. There is a lack of safety data with these herbal medications and traditional medications that you may be taking for other reasons. Some data suggest that fish oil exerts antidepressant effects as well as checking your vitamin D level, especially if you live in Cleveland.
luvbug120: There are many anti anxiety medications - it seems that from the commercials that some may be bad if you are on some heart pills or if you have blood pressure. Are there certain medications that are safer than others?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Yes. In general the SSRIs are very safe in heart disease. Many studies have been done in cardiac patients and they are well tolerated.
lmgaiso: Which of the SSRIs interact with Lipitor or Crestor? Which if the SSRIs interact with ACE inhibitors?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: In general, the SSRIs that have the least drug interactions with heart medications are sertraline (zoloft); citalopram (celexa); escitalopram (lexapro).
buyejl8: I have heard a lot about the different type of stress tests. What are their differences? and does it matter which one you get?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: There are stress tests that can be done for patients with limited mobility. Best to consult with your cardiologist or family physician as to what is the ideal stress test in your case or of your significant other.
lmgaiso: can you explain what is "tone" in the context of laterel tone
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Heart tone also known as autonomic heart balance is mediated by the nervous system we have in our bodies. There are two components to the heart tone - both sympathetic (can raise heart rate) and parasympathetic (which can lower heart rate).
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: As it turns out, patients with depression have impairment in this autonomic tone or balance. However, exercise, meditation, yoga has been proven to be effective in regulating a healthy cardiac tone.
yrte34: You mentioned, cleveland clinic's rehabilitation program - what exactly does it entail?
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Cardiac rehabilitation programs are approved 12 week multidisciplinary exercise programs that most insurance will cover for patients recovering from major cardiac events or surgery. It usually starts 4 - 6 weeks after the heart surgery. The cardiac rehab program is multidisciplinary where you meet 3 times a week and receive guidance from an exercise specialist, nutritionist, and cardiologist. The goal is to modify and enhance any exercise, nutrition, and wellness behaviors as you recover from heart surgery.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: Our cardiology clinicians are very assertive in screening for depression and anxiety while the patients are enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation. While in the program we offer psychiatric and psychological services on site for those cardiac patients that are also suffering from depression or significant anxiety.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: I'm sorry to say that our time with Leopoldo Pozuelo, MD is now over. Thank you again Dr. Pozuelo for taking the time to answer our questions about Stress and Heart Disease.
Speaker_-_Dr__Leopoldo_Pozuelo: It has been a pleasure to talk to you today. I encourage you all to talk to your clinicians about how you are coping overall and don't be bashful to bring up depression, anxiety or stress in the context of one's medical problems.

How often should I test my body fat percentage?
That depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're happy with your current body fat percentage, a test every month or so will tell you if you're maintaining it. If you're trying to lose body fat, however, you should test yourself every week to make sure you're losing fat, not muscle. Daily body fat tests aren't necessary simply because fat doesn't disappear overnight.

A Grand Opening for a Grand Pavilion
August 1, 2005 -- Five years ago, Central DuPage Hospital had a vision – to bring our patients the finest, most modern and highly-skilled health care in the region. To realize that vision, we undertook the most complicated and third largest hospital construction project in the history of Illinois. Brick by brick we have watched the Ambulatory Services Pavilion become a place of comfort and beauty standing proudly in the center of our hospital campus.
On August 1 we began treating patients in this beautiful new facility, which boasts state-of-the-art health care in an environment of convenience and efficiency. Over the next several weeks we will complete our move-in. Please refer back to this page for more information about our Grand Opening Celebration coming in October.

I used vermouth (it's always in my kitchen), and reg soy sauce (on hand). I cut the meat off the bone myself (new to cooking, so I masacre'd it), so I had multiple smaller pieces. I checked it multiple times with no problems, and checked it again at 1hr 50 min. Just in time! It was about to burn. I added 1/2 cup water to slow down the heat and deglaze to prevent burn, turned off the stove, and shredded it. It is delicious, and had just enough sauce to coat it. Delicious, but beware if your stove cooks like mine, it is done way sooner!
Tee Pon Pork

This aromatic, irresistible braise uses a technique similar to the one employed for Sutseng Liu's lamb stew. Look for Shaoxing at Asian markets-try to get the kind that's made for drinking, as products labeled "Shaoxing cooking wine" are loaded with salt. Serve over rice.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces meat and 2 tablespoons sauce)

- Wine note: The perfect wine for this spiced pork is a variety growing in spades in California, but few people know about it or have tasted it: barbera. One of the most important red grapes in Italy, barbera in this country has mostly disappeared into generic red wine blends--until recently. Now winemakers are capitalizing on the grape's beautifully high level of acidity (it makes a fantastic food wine) and spicy cherry flavors, and they are bottling it on its own. In the Sierra Foothills, for some reason, barbera often has an edge of cinnamon that makes a lovely link to this pork. You couldn't go wrong with the 2007 Terra d'Oro Barbera from Amador County ($18), with a rush of sweet red fruit and warm spices. --Sara Schneider

O'Dwyer's: Buy Ads To Appear on Our Rankings List
O'Dwyer's is currently working on its ranking of PR firms, requesting documents in order to list agencies according to net fees and other categories.
Maryland PR firm IMRE sent O'Dwyer's its info to be included. According to emails PRNewser received from both O'Dwyer's and the firm, IMRE was then asked to advertise with O'Dwyer's. The firm agreed to a $600 ad package. O'Dwyer's then told IMRE it would have to advertise at a higher rate to be on the list.
"Thanks for your entry and congratulations on your great year ($10 million) but it's not going to be used if you're only going to do $600 worth of business with us," reads an email O'Dwyer's sent to IMRE, which was then forwarded to PRNewser.
"You can't go into an expensive restaurant with white tablecloths and just order a cup of coffee," that same email goes on to say. "Firms that benefit from our rankings must support the $500,000 website on which the ranking reside[s]."
Instead, O'Dwyer's wanted a $3,000 ad purchase.

LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND)
The Nation's First Rating System for Green Neighborhoods
CNU has partnered with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) to lay out a coordinated and powerful environmental strategy: sustainability at the scale of neighborhoods and communities. The joint venture, known as LEED for Neighborhood Development (or LEED-ND), is a system for rating and certifying green neighborhoods. LEED-ND builds on USGBC's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) systems, the world's best-known third-party verification that a development meets high standards for environmental responsibility. LEED-ND integrates the principles of new urbanism, green building, and smart growth into the first national standard for neighborhood design, expanding LEED's scope beyond individual buildings to a more holistic concern about the context of those buildings.

Certification Now Open
Project teams are now able to certify their projects. Begin by registering the project in LEED Online. Submission forms for all three stages of certification can be viewed before registration in LEED Online. A new certification feature is the Smart Location & Linkage (SLL) Prerequisite Review, which enables projects to assess their location against the SLL prerequisites before paying for a full certification. For full registration information, please visit the GBCI Website. To learn more about LEED-ND certification, check out the following documents:
