College of Medicine Advances Dr. William M. Crist September 2008 • Vol. 2 • No. 6 William M. Crist, MD, dean of the University of Missouri (MU) School of Medicine and a nationally noted pediatric cancer investigator, has been appointed vice president for health affairs at The University of Arizona. Dr. Crist, who is scheduled to begin his new duties Oct. 31, will be responsible to UA President Robert N. Shelton for the coordination and administration of overall academic and medical services in the UA Colleges of Medicine (in Tucson and at the UA College of Medicine – Phoenix in partnership with ASU), Nursing and Pharmacy and the UA Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. He also will oversee all UA agreements with UMC, UPH and UPH Hospital. He will work in partnership with Meredith Hay, UA executive vice president and provost, in the development and execution of strategic academic priorities for the health sciences academic units. A 1969 graduate of the MU School of Medicine, Dr. Crist became its dean in September 2000; in October 2004, he was named MU's first Hugh E. and Sarah D. Stephenson Dean. During his tenure, he contributed greatly to the recruitment of renowned physicians, a tripling of the school's endowment, significant increases in grant support for research, extensive construction of new labs and an ongoing effort to integrate continuous quality improvement into the curriculum and patient care. Also a professor in the MU Department of Child Health, Dr. Crist is among the scientists credited with dramatically improving our understanding of childhood leukemias and their treatments. Dr. Crist completed an internship in pediatrics at the University of Michigan Medical School, Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, Mich. He was a resident fellow in pediatrics and pediatric hematology at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis Children's Hospital, St. Louis, Mo., and a fellow in pediatric hematology at St. Louis Children's Hospital. He served as director of pediatric hematology and oncology at the University of Alabama, Birmingham; then as director of pediatric hematology and oncology at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Memphis; as chair of hematology and oncology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis; and as chair of pediatric and adolescent medicine at the Mayo Medical Center in Rochester, Minn. Dr. Crist has published extensively in the medical literature, has received a wide range of honors and awards and has served on numerous editorial boards and professional societies. He led the merger effort that formed the Children's Oncology Group, which designs and directs clinical trials for children with cancer throughout North America and beyond. President Shelton said, "As our vice president for health affairs, we believe Bill Crist will take the UA's Arizona Health Sciences Center to the next level in terms of growth and success. His excellent track record as a medical school dean and successful fundraiser, as well as his noted work as a physician-scientist, provide the exact background we were seeking for this important new position." Dr. Crist said, "I'm extremely excited to have the opportunity to lead the fast-emerging Arizona Health Sciences Center. I truly believe the 'sky is the limit' for the UA's health colleges and its clinical enterprise if we work together, plan appropriately and are successful in gaining additional resources." Dr. William Crist Appointed UA Vice President for Health Affairs Naendw Nsotes First 'HeartMate II' used at UMC The HeartMate II, a relatively new bridge-to- transplant device, recently was used for the first time at UMC. Unlike other assist devices, which require heart patients to stay at the hospital until receiving a donor match, the small size of the HeartMate II and its streamlined support system allow patients to leave the hospital while they wait for a transplant. UMC's first HeartMate II recipient, a patient in severe heart failure, was in good spirits, able to take walks and planning to leave the hospital just days after his surgery. The surgery was performed by Jack G. Copeland, MD, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at UMC and co-director of the UA Sarver Heart Center, and his team. Medical residency programs begin at UPH Hospital Gov. Janet Napolitano joined new resident-physicians and community leaders at the launch of the Graduate Medical Education (GME) program at UPH Hospital July 21. Residencies in internal medicine and psychiatry began in July with 16 resident-physicians. By 2011, it is expected that up to 118 residents will be participating in a total of seven residencies at UPH, including neurology, radiology, emergency medicine, family medicine and ophthalmology. Abdominal organ transplants increase at UMC The successful revitalization of the UMC Abdominal Transplantation Program has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of patients who have received new organs this past fiscal year, with the number of kidney and pancreas procedures reaching all-time highs. The total number of transplants overall – heart, lung, kidney, liver and pancreas – has passed the 140 mark for 2007-08. The highest number since the program began in 1979 was 114 in 2006. $1 million gift establishes new fellowship at Steele Center The Dorrance Family Foundation, based in Scottsdale, has donated $1 million to establish the Dorrance Endowed Fellowship in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at the UA's Steele Children's Research Center. The fellowship will provide funding to train promising young researchers in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition. The first Dorrance Fellow is Rajalakshmy Ramalingam ("Raji"), a doctoral student in immunobiology whose research will focus on the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). at the UA College of Medicine RMeastetearsrch Ceremony Pays Tribute to Willed Body Program Donors Second-year medical students gathered near the AHS Library with Albert Sombrero of the Diné Nation and others from the College of Medicine for a Native American blessing ceremony and tree-planting Aug. 14. The ceremony followed a memorial service recognizing donors to the Willed Body Program. "Without these donations our medical school would not be able to provide the same excellent education in anatomy to our next generation of physicians," says T. Philip Malan Jr., MD, PhD, vice dean for academic affairs. "This education will benefit their future patients." Grant Seeks Solutions to Health-Care Disparities Can the Internet help treat depression? The UA Department of Psychiatry is one of 10 organizations to receive funding from the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation's program, "Disparities Research for Change," for a study to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of providing treatment for depression via the Internet. The UA study, "Telepsychiatry Treatment for Depression in Underserved Hispanics," will compare webcam treatment with standard face-to-face treatment provided by a primary care provider. www.medicine.arizona.edu/news/story.cfm?ID=1337 Measuring Bone Mineral Density May Help Predict Breast Cancer Risk A UA study suggests that measuring a woman's bone mineral density can provide additional information that may help to determine more accurately her risk of developing breast cancer. www.medicine.arizona.edu/news/story.cfm?ID=1342 Clinical Scholars Named The UA Arizona Clinical and Translational Research and Education Consortium (ACTREC) has announced the 2008 Clinical Scholars Circle award recipients.

Its members are chosen for their expertise in molecular diagnostics. Dr. Wolk is a research associate in the BIO5 Institute and a clinical research scholar in the Health Research Alliance Arizona. Profiles in Philanthropy Ver Steeg Family Endows Scholarship for Rural Care Medical students committed to serving in a rural community will benefit from an endowed scholarship recently established in memory of John W. Ver Steeg, MD. "John was never able to fulfill his dream of serving in a small rural community. My daughter, Ann, and I want this scholarship to help someone else attain that dream," said Pat Ver Steeg, John's widow. The son of a Presbyterian minister, John grew up in small towns throughout the Midwest. He attained the rank of Eagle Scout and loved canoeing and camping in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota and Canada. After graduating from high school in Russell, Iowa, he attended the University of Iowa, where he received his bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1966. He earned his MD from Northwestern University in Chicago four years later. While in medical school, John married his first wife and they had two sons – Joe, who lives in Eagle River, Alaska, and Jake, who lives in Scottsdale, Ariz. In 1980 John met Pat, and the two were married in Kansas City, Mo. There, John did an internship in family practice at Truman Medical Center-East, and Pat taught school for the Blue Springs School District. After a year, they moved to a small town in Minnesota, where their daughter, Ann, was born. Suffering from a bipolar illness, John had difficulty maintaining a practice, and after a year, he retired and the family moved to Tucson. Ann grew up in Tucson and attended The University of Arizona, as did her fiancé, Jonathan. Ann says, "This memorial is especially meaningful for me because my dad loved helping people as a doctor. He would be happy to know that this scholarship is assisting others who are willing to aid all those he was unable to serve." His family describes John as someone who enjoyed life and had a great sense of humor. He painted abstract images, and many of his works adorn the homes of family and friends. "John could figure anything out. He was bright and resourceful and could make something out of nothing, and he analyzed everything. He believed in paying attention to the one you are with at the moment, and he lived that belief every day," says Pat. POeno tphlee move John W.

Upstate New York's answer to the cobbled classics of northern Europe, the Tour of the Battenkill challenges the participants with endless sections of dirt or gravel roads and constant undulations.
Fresh off a cobbled campaign in Belgium, the BMC Racing Team arrived in Cambridge, New York with high expectations for success. Fulfilling all hopes, BMC's Chad Beyer walked away with the Pro/Amateur race on Saturday while Scott Nydam soloed his way to victory in the Pro Invitational on Sunday.
Memorable weekend
"We had about as good of a weekend as we could have hoped," BMC Directeur Mike Sayers reported. "This race really played to our strengths and a lot of the guys who were a little slow getting into form are now finding their legs." Saturday's race combined the professionals and the elite amateurs, taking one 100km loop around the environs of Cambridge with an added section making the route a 129km thrash-fest over the gravelled, hilly roads of upstate New York. A 12 man breakaway midway through the race was stacked with three BMC riders. "It was an awesome race for us," Saturday's victor Chad Beyer said. "An early break went off with Jackson Stewart, Jonathan Garcia and me." Taking turns in attacking the group, first Stewart got a gap, and then Garcia gained nearly a minute and a half on the group. "I thought Jonathan may have had a gap big enough to take the win," Beyer explained. However, some powerful riding by Tom Zirbel put paid to Garcia's chances. "Everyone on the team road really well, but since we had three guys in the break and then Jonathan Garcia off the front soloing for 40km, the pressure was really off the guys," Sayers explained. "They just had to follow wheels and keep alert about how the race was unfolding." Once Garcia's escape was reeled in, Chad Beyer took the reins, following an attack by Tom Zirbel. "Zirbel took some seriously strong pulls on the dirt roads to bring Jonathan back," Beyer explained. "After that, I attacked, then Zirbel countered and in the end it was just the two of us and I out-sprinted him for the win." Jonathan Garcia finished the day in 5th while Jackson Stewart took 7th and Scott Nydam was 14th.
More playing in the dirt
Since Sunday's race was intended only for the invited professional teams, the length was nearly doubled and would see the riders taking two loops around the 100km course from the day before. "It rained a little bit Saturday, so the dirt sections were a little more packed down," Sayers said. "But it was still pretty dry, dusty and tough; the cars did a lot to turn over the dirt so it was by no means an easy task." Knowing that the difficulty of the course would play to their advantage, BMC went out with an attacking game plan. "Though I didn't necessarily mean to be solo for so long, the main plan of the day certainly was to get into the breaks," Scott Nydam said. "Though we only had five guys in the race, we had a lot of cards to play and whenever one of us gets in the break, it gives the other guys a free ride to follow wheels." Early in the first lap, Scott Nydam broke away from the group with Ouch's Bobby Lea, quickly gaining a 3 minute gap. "The dirt roads were tough and there was mayhem back in the main peloton," Sayers said. "At one point there must have been 30 guys at the side of the road with flats, but our guys came out basically unscathed which is a testament to the Continental tires we were using."
Pack your podium hat
"Today was a crazy race," Sayers said. "Scott and Bobby broke away early on the first lap and then Scott was on his own early in the second lap." A strong chase eventually formed and managed to get to within one minute of Nydam. "I knew there was a chase group behind us, so I put in an effort to drop Bobby and be off alone," Nydam explained. "The main point of my being in a break was to take off the pressure from my teammates, but I did pack my podium cap this morning, so I was hoping to go well today." Believing in his chances to take the overall victory, Nydam road a steady race and managed to keep the chasers at bay. "I learned a few lessons at a similar race in California last weekend," Nydam explained. "I like this course too and find that I can recover well after the punchy climbs so I knew that even if I didn't win, I would certainly make it hard on the other teams trying to catch me."
Confidence breeds confidence
After several recent team successes in Europe and America, there is a pervasive good mood which also engenders enormous confidence in the BMC riders. "A happy group of guys is a good thing and I can't say enough about having a team with a positive attitude," Sayers said. "The reason we're racing so well now is that they have been doing a lot of hard-knocks races in Europe; the advantage of running a double program are that you are doing intense races weekend after weekend and we are just beginning to reap the benefits." "We feel like we are finally getting ahead of the game," Nydam concurred. "We really believe that we can achieve great things and there is no doubt that the body responds positively to that sort of attitude."

The Austrian Economics Newsletter is the quarterly interview journal published by the Mises Institute. Each issue spotlights the writings and research of a scholar or financial journalist who works within the tradition of the Austrian School.
The AEN began publishing in the Fall of 1977, under the auspices of the Center for Libertarian Studies, which was then located in New York, New York. The purpose of the AEN was to provide a forum for Austrian students and serve as a communication tool for the new movement. The Mises Institute assumed responsibility for the publication in 1984 and nurtured it to become the most closely read periodical in the world pertaining exclusively to the Austrian School.
The AEN began to emphasize reviews, topical pieces, and, most of all, the extended interview as an effective means of highlighting the newest contributions of Austrians to the literature. Today, interview subjects are now chosen from a variety of disciplines to reflect the full influence of the Austrian tradition. The AEN is no longer published in the digital age in which its content has become as vast as Mises.org itself but its archives are available here online.

BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said he will wait until race day before deciding which riders the team throws its support behind for Saturday's Paris-Brussels and GP de Fourmies on Sunday.
Burghardt Motivated
"The best guy with the best legs will be our leader," Baldato said. "I don't think we can focus on one or two guys as a leader if we have many guys feeling good." Alexander Kristoff finished ninth for the BMC Racing Team at Paris-Brussels a year ago. Baldato mentioned him and Marcus Burghardt as two candidates for leadership. Bughardt said he hopes a good performance will punch his ticket to a spot on the German national team for the world road championships. "I'm very motivated for the rest of the season," Burghardt said. "It has been a long year, but I'm very confident I will show up in good condition." The same eight riders will contest both races.
BMC Racing Team Paris-Brussels / GP de Fourmies Rosters:
Chad Beyer (USA), Marcus Burghardt (GER), Chris Butler (USA), Alexander Kristoff (NOR), Steve Morabito (SUI), John Murphy (USA), Michael Schär (SUI), Simon Zahner (SUI).

Cons: A little big in size. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great value for the price paid Written By HMPR, Puerto Rico on Thursday, August 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are good solid speakers but don't expect much bass from them. Made for indoors or outdoors use, the speaker construction and mounting system is outstanding. Audio performance is adequate but as mentioned before, don't expect good bass (3.5 stars). I'm giving the rating another half a star just for the excellent Crutchfield customer service and for the sales price.

Easy to install, package includes two brackets: one for mounting on flat walls, one for mounting in corners. The sound is good outdoors around our office door. Would recommend after one week use 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Boston Acoustics, not Bose but worth the price. Written By Gregory, Maryville, TN on Sunday, February 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Multiple mounting configurations came in handy as I mounted one on a wall and one in a corner. Sound response is above average albeit weak in bass. Sensitivity is not comparable to the two Bose 151s that came with the house but acceptable. The price was good, I like the look and the mounting options, but 4/5 stars because the sound could be a little better. They're not Bose but then they're not as expensive and, overall, they work fine. 12 out of 24 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Excellent speaker for multi-room setup. Written By Daniel, Gillette, NJ on Sunday, May 25, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought 8 of these to use in a multi-room music setup. They are packaged extremely well, and the included mounting kits work great. The sound is decent, assuming you aren't expecting a lot of bass. Great value for the price. I only wish they were a little smaller. 26 out of 32 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked I like this speaker and may buy it, but need to know if there is a on and off switch on it. I plan to mount if up by the ceiling and need to know if there is an on and off switch. Does it have or need an on and off switch? I didn't see if there was one in the information provided. Thanks, Denny [ Dennis Dec 16, 2013 ] 5 answers No,there is no switch. We use eight of these as ceiling speakers in our church sanctuary. They are driven by four amplifiers, each controlling two speakers. Nice uniform sound throughout the space. HRM [ HINRICH R Dec 16, 2013 ] no on-off switch. typically controlling speaker is done by using a-b speaker buttons on the receiver. [ NATHAN Dec 16, 2013 ] There is no on/off switch.

mariabeepee5/23/2011DrynessDryI love that this cleanser doesn't make my skin feel taut after use, a problem I am finding amongst many others. It also feels light and silky to apply, not harsh at all. I love using this in the morning as a light facial wash, because for the end of day I prefer something a little more exfoliating and deep-cleaning. I pair this with the Balancing Day Care Cream for sufficient day time hydration.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This worked well since we were able to customize our thank you notes for our 50th Wedding Anniversary the pattern was done in Lemon. The printing was perfect."
"I ordered the Anchor Me save-the-dates and wedding invitations, and decided to spring for the matching thank you cards at the last minute too. I'm SO happy that I did!! They're absolutely beautiful, and the red striping on the back is such a fabulous touch. The customization process went so smoothly - the team was quick to get me a comp, and it was perfect the first time around."
"It was so easy to personalize the text on the card. But the best part is how amazing the cards are. They are made on such beautiful and durable paper you can just feel the quality when you hold them. I'm very happy with my order!"
"We chose the slate color because it matched our wedding colors, and we love it. Look great with the white envelope. Quality of the paper and printing were great. Good size for a thank you card! Couldn't be happier. Everyone's going to love them. Thanks, Evanne"
"This is my second order with Wedding Paper Diva's and I couldn't be happier with these Thank You's. I had the font colours changed to gray, as I am trying to keep the colours/themes consistent through all of the events leading up to the wedding. They did a fabulous job!! The only things that I would change are: 1. Paper colour - it was way too white and too much of a contrast to the outside, however, I don't know that any of my guests will notice this. 2. I would love to have the option of Pearl Shimmer paper since I think it adds a really chic feel to the invitations and gives it that WOW factor. I didn't knock stars off for either since they are just suggestions and they came in true to the website - I wasn't misled at all. Also, Wedding Paper Diva's gets these shipped to you so quickly it's unbelievable - both times I have ordered from them I have received the product 3 days after I approved the changes. Happy Wedding Planning!"

Classic routes and inspiring journeys
Inspired by the classic brevets of Europe, Randonnées are point-to-point rides run over seven days. This season we will be journeying through Europe, the US and Japan. Averaging 130km of mountainous riding per day, our Randonnées are fully supported by soigneurs, mechanics, guides and drivers. Rapha Randonneurs will explore the landscape and culture of their host region, ride challenging terrain and experience the ca- maraderie of these exceptional adventures.
Unpack, ride, escape
We have chosen some of the world's most spectacular riding locations for our Rapha Retreats. These are not training camps: discussions of VO2 max tests and lactate thresholds will be left to others. Rather, we focus on riding as hard as your ability allows and immersing yourself in the landscape, with handpicked accommodation, routes crafted by experienced guides, and just the right helping of food, wine and culture.
100 cols in 10 days
Created and run in association with endurance rider Phil Deeker, the Cent Cols Challenge sees riders average 200km daily, with approximately 4,500m of climbing each day. Held variously in the Alps, Pyrenees, Cantabrico and Corsica, each Challenge combines routes and climbs from the grand tours with lesser-known gems to deliver an incredibly tough but unforgettable experience.
Not just another cycling team
Cycling is famed for the proximity between the fans and the stars and the Rapha Travel & Team Sky packages will bring our guests even closer to life in the World Tour. Each package is unique, and is guaranteed to be a singular mix of riding, behind-the-scenes access to Team Sky and its operations, and the chance to learn from their expertise and resources. Choose between our Race Access Tours and Training Retreats, both offering a whole new perspective on the professional peloton.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is feeling the heat. More and more people are learning, thanks to this project and other efforts, that HSUS is not a real "humane society" and in fact gives only 1 percent of the money it raises to pet shelters, according to the watchdog group HumaneWatch.org.
"People are seeing how HSUS uses misleading advertising that preys on the common misconception that HSUS is a pet-shelter umbrella in order to raise millions from the public," according to a press release from HumaneWatch.
The watchdog group has released many comments made to media from pet shelters that have been willing to publicly speak out against HSUS.
In a poll of the sheltering community, which used a nationally representative sample of 400 rescues, shelters, and animal control organizations, HumaneWatch found that 71 percent agree that "HSUS misleads people into thinking it is associated with local animal shelters."
Comments received from respondents follow. Some have been edited for grammar and spelling.
"A horrible organization that does a disservice to those of us who are helping dogs and cats." –A rescue
"I am appalled that they share so little of the funds raised with organizations that are actually out there in the trenches fighting the war against pet overpopulation and abuse."—A shelter
"I feel they deliberately misrepresent what they are and what they do."—A rescue
"HSUS, I believe, misleads the general public into believing that they support the local humane societies and small rescue organizations when this is not the case at all."—A rescue
"Don't care for them at all, they do a disservice to all shelters and rescues."—A rescue
"Misleading advertising, hidden agenda, funds could be better used elsewhere."—A rescue
"They need to spend more money helping animals and local rescues more directly and consistently."—A rescue
"Useless, harmful, and misleading."—A rescue
"We really don't know how they are helping any animals directly!"—A shelter
"A scam."—A rescue
"For the amount of money they bring in they do not do enough good."—A rescue
"It misrepresents what it does. They have turned into a front for PETA." —A rescue
"Only does those things that will grab media attention. Misleads public."—A rescue
"We changed our name … because we in no way want to be affiliated with the Humane Society of the United States. I personally believe their ad campaigns are deceptive."—A shelter
"I think they're deceptive in their fundraising and take away funds from local shelters/rescues."—A rescue
"It is not an actual shelter or rescue, yet solicits funds by presenting itself as such."—A rescue
"Some of their views have made it very hard for shelters. They offer help but only to a few."—A shelter

Forty Five Ten, the name of the store and its McKinney Avenue address,
opened its doors in April 2000. Over the last decade, it has become
Dallas' premier boutique destination, with an international reputation of
offering the "best of the best".
The 8,000 square foot store is set in a beautifully renovated historic building surrounding a central fountain courtyard. It houses a world class mix of the top collections for women, men, and the home, all merchandised with its own distinct point-of-view. It's acclaimed café, the T Room, has become the chicest lunch spot in the city.
The store has attracted a clientele that ranges from Oprah to Laura Bush, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Melissa Etheridge, and is a favorite of local celebrities Angie Harmon, Erykah Badu, and Jessica Simpson. Forty Five Ten is especially proud to give back to their community through their unwavering support of The Family Place (helping victims of domestic violence), amfAR, and the Dallas Museum of Art.

Language Assessment Tests (International Applicants)
Applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit the Pearson Test of English (PTE), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores for Purdue University Graduate School admission.
* International applicants who are U.S.. citizens, or who hold a green card, are exempt from the PTE, TOEFL, and IELTS.
The Graduate School also accepts the Pearson Test of English (PTE). An overall score of 58 is required for admission. For more information, visit http://www.pearsonpte.com.
The total TOEFL score required by the Purdue Graduate School is 77. In addition, minimum scores must be met in each area tested:
Writing = 18
Speaking = 18
Listening = 14

Please select: "PURDUE UNIV, WL/EXECUTIVE MBA" on the test form. For further information, visit www.toefl.org.
If you elect to take the IELTS rather than the TOEFL, the score achieved must equal 6.5; there is no minimum test area scores required.

An official institutional copy of your GMAT score report must be sent from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) to the following school codes: Executive MBA - 1RZ-R6-45
The GMAT is not a blanket requirement for admission. Substantial work experience and/or prior graduate education may allow the GMAT to be waived. Nonetheless, the test is strongly recommended for program applicants, and a good score on the test will enhance any applicant's chances for admission. The test may be required of applicants whose other credentials need strengthening. These decisions will be made by the program's admissions office on a case-by-case basis. In addition, a personal interview may be required of certain applicants, again where there are issues related to the strength of other credentials.

|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
- Low sexual desire—You have a lack of interest in sex and have poor libido.
- Inability to become aroused—Although your desire to have sex may exist, you are unable to become physically aroused or to maintain arousal during sex. This may be due to insufficient vaginal lubrication, anxiety, or lack of clitoral/vaginal sensation.
- Orgasmic disorder—You consistently have difficulty achieving sexual climax, or are unable to do so.
- Pain during intercourse—You experience pain during sexual stimulation and/or penetration. Vaginismus is an involuntary, painful vaginal contraction that inhibits penetration.
- Swabs of vaginal fluid
- Cervical swabs
- Urine tests
- Changing medication that may have sexual side effects
- Treating depression and anxiety
- Using vaginal lubricants to relieve dyspareunia, vaginal dryness, and irritation
Possible hormone therapies—these include estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) and androgen therapy
- Estrogen supplementation, such as the low-dose estradiol skin patch or topical estrogen, can help with vaginal pain and dryness.
- Androgen therapy includes the controversial use of testosterone treatment for sex drive/libido. The treatment is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at this time and is only to be used under medical supervision.
- Working with a sex therapist
- Making lifestyle changes to improve your overall health through things like diet and exercise
- Strengthening your pelvic muscles by doing Kegel exercises
- If a medical condition is the cause, follow the treatment.
- If medications are the problem, ask your doctor about changing the medication or the regimen.
- Avoid emotional stress.
- If interpersonal conflict is the cause, try relationship counseling.

Salisbury routs West Davidson
TYRO — That nice start West Davidson's baseball team was off to in the 2013 season ran into a cold dose of Central Carolina Conference reality known as Salisbury on a blustery Tuesday afternoon at Feezor Field.
West coach Jerry Walser normally gathers his team at the pitching mound after the game for a short chat, especially following a win. But after the Green Dragons got dominated 10-2 by the Hornets, a visibly Walser sent his players through the gate in the center field fence.
"This one's going to take a while," Walser said, whose team was 5-1 going into the game.
There was a lot for Walser to talk about — walks, hit batsmen, wild pitches, stolen bases, errors, falling behind almost immediately,10 hits allowed — to Salisbury. Stuff that Walser doesn't want to see.
"We didn't play well," Walser said. "We didn't prepare to play well and we didn't. We need to understand that preparation is a part of winning. We didn't do that in no way, shape or form."
On the other hand, there wasn't a whole lot for Salisbury coach Scott Maddox, whose team limped into the game with a 2-4 record, not to like.
Sophomore right-hander Riley Myers hurled a bend-but-not-break five hitter over six innings, despite issuing four walks and not striking out a batter. Shortstop Brian Bauk was 3-for-4 with an RBI, scored four runs and stole three bases and left-fielder Ben Ritchie was 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
Well, there was one thing Maddox didn't like.
"We could have played better defense and I know Jerry's not happy," Maddox said. "They had a rough first inning and we've had a couple of those, too. It's good to get a win against those guys any time you can get one. We were 0-for against them last year."
West starter Chandler Simerson struck out Myers to open the game but quickly got gave up a single to Bauk and a pair of walks to load the bases. Ritchie brought home the first run on a fielder's choice. Moments later, Simerson walked Scott Friedrich to force in a run and hit designated hitter Jim Leone to force in another run to make it 3-0.
Staked to the early cushion, Myers (2-1) caught Matt Berrier's pop up to open the bottom of the first. That kind of set the tone for Myers, who made an unusual five putouts for a pitcher — two catches on pop-ups, two on line drives and one where he fielded a grounder and tagged the runner. The free-swinging Dragons made four first-pitch and two second-pitch outs.
"That comes down to preparation," Walser said. "You've got to come to the plate like you're expecting to hit. We didn't do that."
Simerson (2-1) settled down for the next two innings but things came apart when the Hornets scored four unearned runs in part because of a dropped throw, a dropped fly ball and a throwing error. The hulking 6-5 McKeithan drove in the first run of the inning on a bases-loaded infield single. Ritchie then laid down a perfect bunt on a suicide squeeze. The Hornets scored two runs on the play when Simerson, trying to get the out at the plate, threw the ball to the backstop. Cody Veras, replacing the injured Leone, drew a base-loaded walk to make it 7-0. At that point, Zach Queen came on in relief.
West's hitters finally started working Myers, who had thrown 35 pitches in three innings, to work deeper in the count. The Dragons broke through with a pair of runs on Max Allen's fielder's choice grounder and an Justin Smith's infield RBI single. Graham Shoaf followed with a single but Myers got Kyle Smith on an infield pop fly to end the inning, much to the delight of his coach.
"Riley didn't have his best stuff today," Maddox said. "But he's grown up a lot. He's maintaining his composure a lot better. He did a great job."
Salisbury got a run in the top of the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Bauk and Chance Bowden, who was 2-for-4.
The Hornets finished their scoring in the seventh when Bauk doubled home a run and Queen uncorked a wild pitch.
Bowden pitched a scoreless bottom of the seventh to close it out for the Hornets.
"I'm not happy until it's over," Maddox said. "Jerry's team doesn't quit. They battle and battle and battle."
Meanwhile, the Dragons are hoping they don't replicate Tuesday's game.
"You can't make mistakes and it's that simple, especially against a good team like Salisbury," Walser said. "They came in here feeling like they had something to prove. We beat them twice last year and they played well today."
The two teams play again at 4:30 p.m. Friday in Salisbury.
Notes: Berrier was 2-for-4. ... Simerson gave five hits and seven runs — three earned — with five walks and three strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings. ... Queen gave up five hits and three earned runs with no walks and six strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings.

Hempstead, N.Y. - Junior forward Stephen Nwaukoni notched his second double-double of the season and Hofstra built a double-digit second half lead, but Northeastern posted a comeback late as the Pride fell to the first-place Huskies, 62-57, in a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) matchup on Wednesday night at the Mack Sports Complex.
Nwaukoni registered the fourth double-double of his career with 11 points and 13 rebounds and senior Stevie Mejia added 10 points and three assists, though Hofstra lost its seventh straight in dropping to 5-18 and 2-8 in league play.
Joel Smith scored a game-high 19 points and Quincy Ford contributed 15 points to help Northeastern improve its record to 15-8 and 10-1 against the CAA.
Nwaukoni's double-double was his first since a 12-point, 11-rebound effort versus Wright State on Dec. 15. Sophomore Taran Buie scored 10 points, marking the 17th time he's scored in double figures in Hofstra's 23 games.
Hofstra built a 10-point lead midway through the second half but couldn't stave off a Northeastern attack that featured a trio of three-pointers from Smith, which all came from the right wing.
The Pride built the momentum in the first half of the second half. Mejia hit back-to-back three-pointers for a 36-31 advantage for Hofstra. Junior Daquan Brown, who added six points off the bench for Hofstra, made a layup and stole the ball at the opposite free throw line and went coast-to-coast for the layup for a 40-32 Pride lead with 11:17 left.
Smith hit two three-pointers in a 21-second span to tie the score at 46 with almost six minutes left. The second three-ball initiated an 8-0 run, giving Northeastern the lead for good. Ford drew a foul on sophomore Moussa Kone and made two free throws for a 48-46 advantage, giving Northeastern the irrevocable lead.
Smith made another three pointer for 51-46 lead off a second chance. Mejia gave Hofstra a chance for a comeback, connecting on a reverse layup on a baseline drive to cut it to 56-52 with 1:49 left. Hofstra got two defensive stops and David Imes and Kone both made one of two free-throws, putting Hofstra within 58-57 with less than 15 seconds left.
Ford took the in-bounds pass and was fouled, making both subsequent free throws. Ford then made the game-sealing defensive play when he blocked Buie's final three-point attempt was blocked coming out of the hand with 11 seconds left.
A low-scoring first half featured staunch defense as the Pride held the Huskies to 2-for-15 three-point shooting. Nwaukoni and Buie combined for 16 of Hofstra's total points as the Pride built a 24-19 lead at the break.
Northeastern surged to a 6-0 run over a five-minute stretch and went up as much as eight points before the Pride posted a 12-2 run over 5:35 with almost four minutes left in the half. The Pride's defensive effort marked the fourth time the team has held opponent to less than 20 points in the opening half and the first since limiting UNC Wilmington to 17 points in the first half on Jan. 26.
Hofstra will now embark on a two-game road swing starting Saturday at UNC Wilmington at noon. The game will be televised on MSG Network.

Why I became a journalist:
I love being able to go straight to the source to find out why things are happening and feeling connected to the pulse of the events of the day.
Why I got into radio:
I began my career in documentary filmmaking and quickly learned that my attention span needs things to move faster. So, I moved to public television, but I still didn't feel quite at home. I noticed my radio was always on, but I rarely turned on my television. There's a conversational tone in radio storytelling that feels authentic to me. Public radio finally felt like home.
