Anytime something show-stoppingly pink ends up on my desk, I'm inspired to share my excitement. My latest love is OCC's brand new neon pink lip tar called Nylon, a tribute to the celeb-and-fashion focused glossy. The magazine's September issue heralds OCC's innovative lip tars as "The Best Lipstick of 2012," and to celebrate, the makeup brand created the poptastic Pantone-matched color. If you haven't tried lip tars before, this is the perfect time to pick one up—you'll honestly never find a lip color that is more pigmented or long-lasting!
Would you dare wear this bright bubblegum shade?
If you're looking to jazz up your regular lipstick routine, you can also check out the Birchbox Shop!
Last week, the Birchbox editors took a behind-the-scenes visit to the new Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics store on New York's trendy Lower East Side. The 100% vegan, cruelty-free brand, known for its hyper-pigmented lip colors, just opened their first outpost in September, and has since been offering their makeup artist know-how and line of gorgeous hues to residents of the über-trendy neighborhood. Click through for a sneak-preview of OCC's new spring line!
The Show: VPL
Makeup: Romy Soleimani with Ellis Faas and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics for Beauty.com
Hair: Bob Recine for Phyto, Amika, and Beauty.com
Nails: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics for Beauty.com
The Vibe: Geometric shapes and hard lines with a pop of the unexpected. To match fall's VPL line, which is filled with strong graphic shapes and sexy silhouettes, lead stylist Bob Recine created a slicked down look, but added a free-falling crown piece for flow. To achieve the style, Recine dried hair with an amika dryer, the parted hair at the center or on the side. He then pulled away a triangular section of hair at the crown (to be released later), and combed down the sides. Products that were essential were Phyto's Volume Mousse to get the right texture and Phytolaque Soie Hair Spray, which were spritzed on brushes to add shine. "You want that diamond finish, which is not wet or glossy, but more glassy" said Recine. Side sections were then tied into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck, and covered with the top portion of free hair that was then combed out and flat-ironed with an amika straightener.
We'd be lying if we said there wasn't a little East Coast bias at Birchbox HQ. But since Associate Editor and San Francisco native Candice started here a few months ago, we've opened our eyes to the wonders of the West. Like mass quantities of Red Vines and a generally more laid-back, cool approach to life. Today we snuck a shot of her product-filled desk including the amazing OCC Lip Tars she wrote about yesterday.
Click through for all of Candice's picks.
Today, these amazing lip tars from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics landed on our desk, and wouldn't you know it, our entire office is in love.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is a cult brand based in New York that's known for their ultra-bright lip colors. These hyper-pigmented shades, which are 100 percent vegan & cruelty free, come in a wide range of hues like seriously neon pink, true cyan blue, and even neon orange. Some of us, (here's looking at you, Meredith and Rachel) are obsessed with their extra-bright pinks, which are the first we've found that really give a magazine photo-like pop to our puckers.
True to it's name, lip tar goes on like a liquid lipgloss, but they have a completely matte finish and stay on your lips for hours. Take note, the colors are best applied with a lip brush and you really only need a couple drops of the tar to coat your entire pout. Click through to see Birchboxers model lip tar!
Cyan blue for Rachel S.
Two-toned pink lips for Rachel L., magenta for Alexz and peach for Molly.

Legendary Chargers, Aztecs coach Don Coryell dies at 85
Former San Diego Chargers and San Diego State coach Don Coryell, who helped revolutionize football's passing game, died Thursday of pneumonia at the age of 85, the Chargers announced.
Coryell died at 3:15 p.m. surrounded by family at Grossmont Hospital, according to the Chargers.
Coryell coached the Chargers to a 72-60 record from 1978-86, including three American Football Conference West Division championships. He coached San Diego State to a 104-19-2 record from 1961-72, including NCAA College Division national championships in 1966, 1967 and 1968.
Coryell also coached the St. Louis Cardinals from 1973-77.
"We are terribly saddened by the passing of coach Coryell," Chargers President Dean Spanos said. "He revolutionized the game of football, not only in San Diego, but throughout the entire NFL.
"Don Coryell was a legend not only with the Chargers, but throughout San Diego. Though unfortunately he did not live long enough to see it, hopefully one day his bust will find its proper place in Pro Football's Hall of Fame."
Coryell was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999. He was the first coach to win 100 games at both the college and NFL levels.
Coryell gained the "Air Coryell" nickname for high-flying offenses at San Diego State and the Chargers.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees sat down on a Channel 2's "Person 2 Person" with Shauna Lake in two parts to talk about Neon Tree's roots, why he doesn't have a driver's licence, coming out in Utah and the new album, "Pop Psychology."
If anything watch to see news anchors say, "Sleeping with a Friend." Then think of all the uncomfortable things you would like to watch news anchors say.
Also, I have no idea why one is big and one is small. I failed programmer's school.
If you want to see Bill Allred's "Person 2 Person" you can watch it here.
Tyler Glenn for Neon Trees talks about the brand new song, the new album, and why he was almost ready to quit!
Tyler Glenn and Branden Campbell stop by the X96 studios to chat with Todd about their cancelled show in Park City during the Sundance Film Festival. They announced another concert at Velour in Provo! Thursday night at 9PM. Tickets are $10 (cash only) and only available at the door!
Check out the interview:
- Anthony
Another Big Ass Show is in the history books, and I am thankful to everyone who attended. My day started out with a bit of a jolt when I heard that Brendan Urie of Panic! At The Disco was sick with malaria and wasn't going to be there. I have to give that band credit for making sure the show went on. They recruited a few friends to cover for him, including local musican Brogan Kelby, and Ransom Wydner from King Niko. Brogan got to sing "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" and Ransom sang "Nine in the Afternoon." Thanks to everyone for staying to watch the performance even though Brendan wasn't there. Tyler Glenn (another local) from Neon Trees got to sing a few songs with them, and it turned out to be a special event. Brendan Urie is sad that he coulndn't attend, and the band will get back to Salt Lake in full force just as soon as possible. I was particularly thrilled to see Panic's bassist Dallon Weekes take over the lead vocals on a few songs and then treat us to an acoustic version of The Brobecks tune "Love At First Sight."
Another special moment was Switchfoot's performance of "Dare You To Move" when Jon Foreman invited Brogan Kelby onstage to play his guitar and sing along. We had mentioned to the band how important that song was to Brogan and that it really helped him get through some rough times. They were thrilled about it and invited him to play it with them. What a great bunch of guys! The performance was truly amazing, and I've posted a couple different camera angles (from fans) of the song.
It was a special day, and we thank you for your continued support!

Piano Wizard Academy is changing the way we learn to play piano.
The #1 Piano Learning Software Method That The World Loves To Play!
Piano Wizard is an amazingly simple video game system that can teach anyone how to play piano and read music – in minutes. Our patented 4-step color coded method magically transforms the learning experience into a stimulating video game that is complete scalable. Easy enough for a 3 year old, yet challenging enough for an experienced musician.
This just may be the golden ticket to unlocking your child's inner genius and implementation is easier and faster with better results than anything you have ever seen before.
Piano Wizard also ventures where no other music games do – with advancing modes of play taking you from a beginner, all the way to fluently reading the musical scores that previously seemed like hieroglyphics.
"Piano Wizard, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways."
While many computer programs teach music, Piano Wizard turns anything from Bach to Billy Joel into a video game in which you'll be guiding a rocket ship with a color-coated keyboard, while picking out a tune and learning chord progressions.
"Music education apps are more productive in this department, but usually fall flat in enjoyment and substance. Piano Wizard could single-handedly change that, pairing engaging mechanics with increasingly challenging game-play."
"…an easier way to get your child from Chopsticks to Chopin. It was nice to find a computer video game that actually teaches something significant."
"Your research on the positive effects of music are astounding and your progress with Piano Wizard is proof positive of your good work."
"Piano Wizard – Best Gadgets & Gizmos on The Planet 2007"
"…seldom do we find a product that is as exciting as Piano Wizard Academy! As an editor, educator and musician, if we had medals to award along with our Editor's Choice Award, I would certainly present Piano Wizard with the Gold Medal."
"First and foremost, I feel that learning to play piano needs to be an enjoyable experience otherwise there's little motivation to continue. Piano Wizard has made it enjoyable for us."
"Nice to find a computer game that actually teaches something significant."
"The stuff it teaches is valuable for players of all ages"
Piano Wizard Academy is an effective course that produces measurable results.
"Piano Wizard takes away the drudgery of old-time piano lessons bringing them up-to-date in our every changing, exciting world of musical media."
"Piano Wizard is a successful adaption of the gaming genre to serious music lessons."
"Piano Wizard Academy is one of the best piano learning courses available for it is comprehensive, interesting, and very simple for beginners."
"Over 250,000 Lives Touched To Date And Counting."
What Is Piano Wizard Academy?
Piano Wizard Academy is simply the most innovative music learning system available. With our award winning 4-step game engine and music before theory approach, virtually anyone can take any piece of music and play it. Instead of struggling to learn to play piano, you'll PLAY-TO-LEARN, almost subconsciously learning to read music along the way too!
Piano Wizard Academy shatters the restraints of traditional music learning while retaining the organic ability to handle even Bach like complexity. We'll take you from ZERO to BEETHOVEN – BACH to BON JOVI in no time – GUARANTEED!
Why is Piano Wizard so effective?
There are 2 basic dimensions of music:
- Pitch (which note, color coded for easy identification in the game).
- Rhythm, or time, (revealed by showing the original logic of space between notes to show the correct time to play them).
Because the player can ANTICIPATE when to play the note, their innate hand-eye coordination is all they need to play the music of the masters, in seconds. Pitch and Time are the skeleton, upon which all the rest hangs. Get that right, and you have a basic form, from which you can BEGIN to create great music. After all, music is simply about hitting the right notes at the right time.
The other dimensions of music that the game itself cannot teach (such as dynamics, phrasing, and other rich musical conventions we refer to as music theory) are taught with our accompanying DVD videos that accompany 50 lessons, and sheet music that you can take to a real piano. We've added 50 additional self taught lessons for a total of 100 (2 years worth of children's level curriculum).
So much more than just learning to play piano…
Better grades and S.A.T scores
Dramatic (as much as 30-40%) improvements in math, reading and comprehension skills
Sharpens concentration, attention to detail and discipline to stick with a task
Actual physical and mental increases your brain's memory capacity
of kids learn to play a musical instrument
of adults wish they had
Piano Wizard is the ONLY method that teaches music the way we NATURALLY learn our language.
Music is a language and traditional methods teach contrary to the way we naturally learn, resulting in failure for most of us. Difficult notation, music theory, boring drills, and a whole lot of nagging are NOT the solution, though many have tried.
The traditional method of teaching piano is to immediately introduce theory and notation, making learning far more difficult than it needs to be. That is why there is such a high failure rate for most of us in learning to play. Focusing on the translation of notation as a FIRST STEP is difficult for most of us and it is one of the contributing factors making practicing painful and unenjoyable.
With Piano Wizard, notation is a NEXT STEP after the child is already playing. We've made it fun, joyful, amazingly effective, and family friendly, making it so much easier to achieve the many benefits that music learning has to offer. Piano Wizard is music learning for the rest of us!
You'll save THOUSANDS of dollars over traditional piano lessons.
At about just $4 per lesson over 6 months, the entire family can enjoy this expandable music learning system for LIFE!
Our mission is not to replace or knock the efforts of great piano teachers, but rather feed more students into the music process. Piano Wizard is like "training wheels for the piano". It prepares students for advanced piano lessons like no other method can, like pre-k prepares students for school settings.
And why settle for other programs that put their own spin on the same old tired ineffective backwards approach to music learning? While a small percentage of us that are musically gifted may benefit, the results are basically the same for the majority.
If you are like most parents, you want to give your children every tool in the toolbox to help them succeed. Piano Wizard Academy is a POWER TOOL!
Family Friendly – Non-Violent – Wholesome Fun and real music learning.
We stress family participation while the kids learn. This has many benefits that reach above and beyond playing the game itself. You'll bond with your children in a unique way. You'll want to play the game when the kids go to sleep. Your kids will get so excited when they earn their star stickers as they progress through each lesson. And they'll make you proud. Sounds too good to be true? It's not. But you'll have to try it yourself to experience the magic.
No Previous Music Experience Required – Virtually ANYONE can play and learn.
Gaming Style Learning Environment – Makes piano learning fun.
Builds Movement, Rhythm and Tempo Effortlessly – Important skills of playing.
Constant Check-Points and Attainable Goals – Keeps you motivated
Instills the Fundamentals of Making Music: Phrasing, Posture, Dynamics and Technique!
Keeps Interest with Unlimited Song Options
Human Interaction With You
Graduated Method Piano Curriculum (from zero to Beethoven in record time)
Takes the player / student to That Crucial Fifth Step, Going From Game-Like Mode to Reading Real Music!

As Sir Matthew Phillips with Peter Cushing
29 December 2009 - 6:57pm
Yes of course Editha I agree with you.......this Freddy Francis's film is not very well known... and actually there was a problem with the title making reference to "The Marquis de Sade"...in the French audience, at last it was named "The Crane Maléfique". May be not the best Freddy Francis film. A matter of taste .
Anyway... Lee and Cushing together again !

In this episode Tom and Dave discuss Alabama's quarterback position. We've teased this topic for a while, and given recent developments, now's the right time to unpack the situation.
Highlights of our discussion include:
Coker starts, right? We've not been shy in expressing our opinions on this topic. After all, "Day One Starter" was the takeaway from the recruiting show in February. Here we spend more time stepping through several points which together make a clear case for why Coker is in Tuscaloosa.
Why is Blake the No. 2? We're convinced we have the best theory going on this topic, and here we step through it again. We further the idea by exploring the potential for Nick Saban wanting to explore new offensive wrinkles.
Ranking the available QBs. If Coker starts, how does the rest of the depth chart fill out? What roles can we expect to emerge?
Why did Alec Morris punt at A-Day? Does Alec Morris really have a shot at punting, or is he really in the mix for more time at QB?
How many QBs play this season? It's almost a trick question. Alabama barely played three QBs last season. Do we match or exceed this number? What motivation would we have to blow away last year's use of the depth chart?
Be sure to subscribe to the Alabama football podcast on iTunes so you don't miss a minute of our future (or past) shows.

SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN Lyrics - Pat Benatar
Review The Song (2)
Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you
I hope your suffering was brief
I hope the angels that watch over all little children
Came for you and took you someplace beautiful and sweet
Suffer The Little Children
Dear Melissa, I often think of you
Everytime I hold my baby in my arms
I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too
I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them
Every mother's nightmare
Will it ever end
sponsored linksSuffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
You who done the deed better do some prayin' too
Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say
Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list
Of the evils that men do
An' your name's right up there
I heard `em say
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them
Every mother's nightmare
Will it ever end
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
From the album "Wide Awake In Dreamland"

The diesel engine demonstrator aiming to replace turboshafts in light helicopters, which could cut fuel burn by about 30 percent, is said to be on track for installation and ground tests on a Eurocopter EC120 in the first quarter of 2014. Some components have been tested in laboratories and critical design reviews conducted last week were successful, according to project officer Sébastien Dubois.
Diesel locomotive
Eurocopter might exhibit a hybrid helicopter, using both piston engines and electric motors like a hybrid car, by Heli-Expo 2020. Parent company EADS last year unveiled a helicopter concept that could burn 50 percent less fuel than its traditional equivalent. EADS Innovation Works is devising a way to combine diesel engines, generators, batteries and electric motors.
Eurocopter is here exhibiting its "Bluecopter" diesel engine concept on the static display. The so-called "high-compression engine" is supposed to bring greener performance to light helicopters currently powered by a single turboshaft. Targeted are a 40-percent cut in CO2 emissions and a 53-percent reduction in NOx emissions.
The diesel-powered Diamond DA42 TwinStar made its first flight on December 9 from the factory at Wiener Neustadt, Austria. TwinStar's Thielert Centurion 1.7 engines rated at 135 hp each are designed to operate on both diesel fuel and jet-A1. The composite-construction four-seat aircraft has a single-lever power control for each engine, fuel consumption of 67 pph at 180 kt and an option for an all-glass cockpit.
Of the many companies that have attempted to tackle world markets with a new-technology piston engine for light singles and twins, only Thielert in Germany has demonstrated some success. For that it can thank in some measure Diamond Aircraft, an Austrian company that has established a firm niche as a supplier of all-composite light aircraft, including the DA 42 twin-engine aircraft on display here in the static park.

Drew Jacoby is taking her incredibly lush movement over to Amsterdam, where, as she announced on Jacoby and Pronk's website, she'll be joining Nederlands Dans Theater in August. While we are sad that Jacoby and Pronk (our August 2009 cover story) will be no longer (well, officially—there's no reason to think they won't dance together in the future), we're excited that Jacoby has decided to put roots down with the electric company.
While Jacoby and Pronk were Holland-based, there's another Jacoby-NDT connection: Paul Lightfoot, who is NDT's longtime resident choreographer and now the director of the company (we asked him about his artistic vision in our March "Quick Q&A"). He reworked his Softly As I Leave You into a blistering duet for Jacoby and Pronk in 2009.
There are still a few more chances to catch Jacoby and Pronk, including the TITAS gala in Dallas this month. Jacoby will be performing with Michelle Wiles/Charles Askegard's Ballet Next tonight, and her summer intensive, Blueprint, at Peridance in NYC runs August 20–September 1. —Kina Poon

The American Psychiatric Association and 15 other advocacy organizations are urging Congress not to act on several proposed cuts to the Medicaid budget that would have a serious impact on beneficiaries with severe mental illness. The reductions in spending were recommended by the bipartisan Medicaid Commission, which was created earlier this year to find ways to trim the Medicaid budget by $10 billion over the next five years.
Medicaid currently serves more than 50 million Americans. The overall Medicaid caseload has increased 40 percent over the past five years. The program accounts for an average of 22 percent of each state's budget and is the single largest expenditure item for states. The program pays for more than half of the care delivered through community mental health programs.
The 16 advocacy groups, partners in the Campaign for Mental Health Reform, sent a joint letter to the Senate Finance and House Energy and Commerce Committees, which will attempt to reach consensus over the Commission's proposed cuts as part of the 2006 Budget Reconciliation package. The letter warns that some of the proposed cuts "would have a devastating impact on individuals with mental illness and undermine state mental health systems…. In particular, we are deeply concerned about recent proposals to narrow the definitions of rehabilitative services and targeted case management (TCM) services eligible for Medicaid reimbursement, as well as a proposal to lower the reimbursement rate to States for TCM.
"Rehabilitative services and TCM are core elements of the public mental health system in every State. Adults and children with serious mental disorders require a range of intensive community-based services in order to avoid institutionalization. Medicaid rehabilitative and targeted case management services are the vehicles for providing Medicaid-eligible persons with comprehensive community-based mental health services.
"Rehabilitative services include intensive community services such as crisis services, medication management, skills training, and other remedial services to enable an individual to live in the community. Targeted case management links beneficiaries not only to needed medical services but also to educational, housing, social services, and other services they need. TCM case managers coordinate and monitor the provision of services.
"Without the intensive community services that are typically funded through these two Medicaid options, many more people with serious mental illnesses will end up institutionalized, in jails, or homeless—at significant public expense—and will lose access to the care that can save their lives and put them on the road to recovery."
The Campaign for Mental Health Reform also raised concerns about cost-sharing proposals that would increase beneficiaries' copayments and that would promote stricter use of state formularies. The concerns over higher copayments are based on accumulating evidence that even modest increases in cost-sharing drive many individuals off the rolls of public health insurance. A frequently cited study followed a representative sample of about 1,400 Oregon Medicaid enrollees after beneficiaries' premiums were increased on a sliding scale that ranged from $6 to $20 per month and copayments were introduced that ranged from $5 for an outpatient physician visit, $50 for an emergency department visit, and $250 for a hospital admission. In the six months after these changes were implemented, 44 percent of the study participants left the program, nearly half of whom cited an inability to afford the new premiums or copayments. These findings were borne out by Medicaid administrative data that showed a 46 percent drop, from 88,874 to 47,957 covered lives, in the state during the same period.
Under current Medicaid rules, states can decide whether to exempt psychotropic drugs from cost-control efforts that include the use of state formularies of preferred drugs and higher copayments for nonpreferred drugs. The Medicaid Commission's proposals would continue to give states this authority, and many advocates fear that chronically ill patients who have been helped by treatment with a specific drug will be forced to switch medications if that drug is categorized as nonpreferred. Earlier this year the National Governor's Association made recommendations for cutting Medicaid expenditures that favored closed formularies (www.nga.org/files/pdf/0502medicaid.pdf).
The Medicaid Commission was also charged with developing recommendations for stabilizing Medicaid over the long term, and a second report is due by the end of the year.
Numerous initiatives and demonstration projects have sought to better integrate mental health care into primary care for persons with mild to moderate mental disorders. A new report from the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law fills a gap by focusing primarily on integration of care for people with serious mental illnesses.
The center reviewed studies over the past 30 years that have documented high rates of serious health problems and premature death among people with serious mental illnesses. The report cites recent findings that as many as 75 percent of persons with schizophrenia have high rates of serious physical illnesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and respiratory, heart, or bowel problems. High rates were also seen for vision, hearing, and dental problems. Despite these risks, detection of physical health problems in this population is poor.
"The wall between physical and mental healthcare perpetuates a public health crisis," said Chris Koyanagi, the report's author and policy director at the Bazelon Center, a Washington-based advocacy group. "The lack of integration can leave chronic medical conditions undetected and lead to higher healthcare costs and needless suffering." The report notes that in a recovery-oriented mental health system, physical health care is as central to an individual's service plan as housing, job training, or education.
Get It Together: How to Integrate Physical and Mental Health Care for People With Serious Mental Disorders describes barriers to integration, discusses models studied by center staff who made site visits to programs around the country, offers recommendations for integrating care, and spells out policy initiatives that public health and mental health systems can adopt to nurture integration of services in each of the models.
The center found an encouraging number of approaches to integrated care, which the report defines as the delivery of health and mental health services in a unified, holistic manner—as opposed to coordinated care, which occurs when information is shared and separate providers are linked through special initiatives or policies. Two models of integrated care—"primary care embedded in a mental health program" and "unified programs"—are particularly effective in promoting greater access to prevention and treatment services, reducing reliance on emergency departments and other crisis-oriented health services, improving consumers' satisfaction, and enhancing cost-effectiveness.
The first model, embedding primary care in a mental health program, ensures strong working linkages between primary care and mental health providers and is particularly appropriate for adults with serious mental illnesses, according to the report. Embedded programs allow extra time in primary care visits for providers to deal with more complex medical issues. Many of the programs are staffed with physician assistants and nurses.
When providers are co-located, daily interactions lead to more collegial work and higher-quality care, the report notes. In an embedded model, primary care providers develop a better understanding of why patients do not follow through on health care advice, and they create more effective strategies to encourage patients to take an active role in their care. One of the most striking findings from site visits to embedded programs was that many barriers to integration, particularly those that stem from cultural differences or lack of provider training, are overcome without special initiatives.
Providers in embedded programs report greater satisfaction and feel that integration has improved access and quality, according to the Bazelon report. They note improved diagnosis and treatment of previously unreported but significant illnesses. Consumers report more comfort with primary care providers who work in a program for people with serious mental disorders.
The second model, combining publicly funded primary care and behavioral health care into a unified program, is the most seamless approach, according to the report, because it integrates not only delivery of care but also administration and financing. Bazelon staff visited three sites, each providing a full range of behavioral health and primary care services by using integrated teams of several providers. One of the strengths of the unified approach is that it overcomes barriers related to time and resources for collaboration, the report notes. Providers are paid through the agency for time that is required for collaboration, such as attendance at case-planning meetings. Unified arrangements are economically efficient, offering opportunities for administrative savings and physical plant efficiencies. Cultural barriers are overcome in the unified programs, as in the embedded programs, and for similar reasons.
Access, continuity, and quality of care improve in unified programs, according to the report. For consumers, these programs provide a single point of access whether the individual is seeking care for a physical or a mental health problem. Consumers find the "no wrong door" approach more friendly and less stigmatizing.
In addition to the integrated models, the report also describes efforts by four state Medicaid systems—in Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, and Oklahoma—to coordinate primary and behavioral health care across multiple agencies for people with serious mental disorders. Strategies used to improve collaboration include use of case managers, financial incentives, managed care contract requirements, and provider training. The report praises these efforts and notes that collaboration rather than integration causes the least disruption to traditional practice; however, this approach presents many challenges and constraints that are yet to be fully addressed in such programs.
The executive summary of the full report is available online on the Bazelon Web site at www.bazelon.org. The 68-page report can be ordered for $14, plus $4 shipping and handling, online or by calling the Bazelon Center's publications desk at (202) 467-5730, ext. 110.

It's hockey season! I unabashedly adore hockey. I love the excitement of a perfectly executed goal and the adrenaline of a power play, the broken sticks and dirty fights, shouting at the opposing team's goalie and ringing a cowbell. Most of all, I love cheering on the home team as they battle their way to victory. Here in Houston, we are fortunate enough to have our own American Hockey League team– the Aeros. [2] Last year the Aeros made it all the way to game 6 of the Calder Cup playoffs; I was in the crowd at the Toyota Center that night, cheering them on. The Aeros ultimately lost, but I have high hopes for the new season!
Unlike many other sports, there is a surprising dearth of hockey movies coming out of Hollywood. Although the sport lends itself well to the high drama and action of the silver screen, hockey just isn't popular enough in America to support a big box office draw. Happily, the hockey movies that do exist are, for the most part, well-acted and entertaining. I'm still waiting for the next big hockey movie, but at least I have some old favorites to fill the gap!
If you can't make it out to see the Aeros play, browse the HCPL catalog and request one of these hockey movies instead!

Report: Dodgers' Kershaw to sign $215 million extension
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly locked up staff ace Clayton Kershaw for the next seven years, with ESPN.com stating that the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner agreed to a landmark $215 million extension Wednesday.
The deal would eclipse the seven-year, $180 million contract Justin Verlander signed with the Detroit Tigers prior to last season as the largest given to a pitcher in MLB history, while its $30.7 million annual value would be the most ever for any player.
According to ESPN, the contract includes an opt-out clause after five years.
Kershaw, who was entering his final arbitration-eligible season, captured his second Cy Young honor in three years with a brilliant 2013 campaign. The All- Star left-hander led the majors with a 1.83 earned run average and topped the NL with 232 strikeouts, while posting a 16-9 record over 33 starts for the NL West-champion Dodgers.
The 25-year-old's 2.21 ERA over the past three seasons is also the best in baseball, and he's gone a superb 51-23 over that span while striking out 709 batters in 697 innings.
Kershaw also won the NL Cy Young in 2011 after amassing a 21-5 record and an MLB-best 2.28 ERA over 33 starts. His 248 strikeouts that year trailed only Verlander for the most in the big leagues.
The former first-round pick has also been extremely durable, having logged at least 32 starts and 204 innings in four consecutive seasons.
Recently suspended New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez still owns the largest overall contract in MLB history, a 10-year, $275 million pact he signed in 2007.

Country Mouse in the City
I smile. The man stares back at me and I look away, embarrassed. I feel my ears growing hot and I know my face is turning red, too. I am from here. I should know better.
Before I moved to Jackson, I lived in New York City for four years of college. I was a pro at navigating the subway, walking quickly, avoiding obstacles on the sidewalk, and crossing the street irrespective of the traffic signal. I did not let people cut me in line and was very capable of intercepting those who tried. I mastered the art of hailing a cab and absolutely did not tolerate people who tried to steal my taxi by standing up-street from me.
In short, I was an excellent New Yorker.
When I moved to Jackson a year ago, I immediately started worrying that I was accidentally rude to people. I just was not used to making small talk with strangers, and oftentimes I didn't realize strangers to speaking to me because, well, who talks to strangers? I had to learn to call people "sir" and "ma'am." Where I come from (Massachusetts, then New York), women especially are very offended when you call them "ma'am." It makes them feel old, and seems rude. But in the South, it is a much appreciated sign of respect. I quickly learned to love these habits. I think it is adorable when the students I work with call me "Miss Allison" and it is so sweet to see people holding doors open for one another.
I recently returned to NYC to visit my college friends. I landed at La Guardia airport, hopped over to the Upper West Side to visit campus, and then caught a train to Tribeca to meet up with my friends after work. That's when things started to go wrong. I accidentally bumped into someone in the rush to get on the express train, so I said excuse me and let him go through the door first. He just looked at me and sort of smirked. How rude!
I was fortunate enough to find a seat and, like a true New Yorker, plugged in my headphones. Looking around at the other passengers, I smiled each time I made eye contact with someone. Once again, I must reiterate, this is the WRONG THING TO DO on the New York subway. People stared back or looked away or rolled their eyes. I could almost hear them thinking "where the heck is she from?"
This is not to say that New Yorkers are mean, or that Southerners are all quaint, sweet people. Most New Yorkers often offer subway seats to people who need them, and some Southerners drive like inconsiderate maniacs. Individually, I think we are more alike than we realize. Dan Ring discussed various theories of the difference between North and South, City and Small Town, in his blog post a few weeks ago, so I will direct your attention to that post for more details. What I will say here is that I think my ideal world is a combination of the two.
Without offending anyone, I would like to say that in my experience, people in the South are definitely overtly friendlier, but perhaps also a little less hurried—which can be a wonderful quality, or a frustrating one. Meanwhile, Northerners (specifically, New Yorkers!) might not be as gregarious to strangers, but are also a little more hurried—which can be a wonderful quality, or a frustrating one.
And what's funny is, I always identified with the pace and attitude of New Yorkers… but after only a year in the South, when I went back up to the big city, I felt like a country mouse. I had begun displaying some outward signs of Southernness… and I'm okay with that. I love New York, I love the South, and having lived in both places I am now hoping to embody the best of both worlds.

My Summer in Mississippi: A New Yorker Reflects
This blog is written by Sam Gardner, who just finished his summer internship in the ISJL's history department.
The Neshoba County Fair is not your typical county fair. Yes, it does have the rides, game booths, and fried delicacies, but this is where the ordinary ends and extraordinary begins at Neshoba.
Starting in 1889, the Neshoba County Fair is a long-standing Mississippi tradition, with two unique features: the cabins and the political speeches. Some of the cabins have been owned by the same families for generations. Although most owners reside in their cabin for the one week of the fair and the cabin is vacant the rest of the year, cabins can sell for as much as the most expensive house in the county. It's prime real estate, hard to acquire.
Then, there are the speeches, traditionally made by state government officials, but also university presidents and even presidential nominee Ronald Reagan during his 1980 campaign. The two main speakers on the day I joined some other ISJL staff for a fair field trip were Mississippi's Speaker of the House Phillip Gunn, and Governor Phil Bryant. The Phils are known for their strong conservative views, and in the weeks leading up to the fair, my fellow interns and I, all liberal-minded northerners, were excited to experience what some have described as "Woodstock for Mississippi Republicans."
When we arrived at the fair, we saw colorful cabins with family names posted on the front, eccentric decorations, an unsettling number of confederate flags, and lots of white people. We walked over to Founder's Square, the center of the fairgrounds, and made our way to the Pavilion, a large, open-air wooden structure with rows of benches and a podium at the front for the speakers.
Phillip Gunn spoke about new education requirements and charter school laws, intended to help children in failing school districts. His most memorable quote was on the topic of guns: "When it's three in the morning and someone's coming through my door, and I don't know how many there are, I need to have more bullets and bigger guns than they have." Like Gunn on guns, Governor Phil Bryant (pictured at left) was obviously in his element at Neshoba and delivered a free-wheeling and impassioned speech. When discussing a controversial new open carry gun law, he promised to veto any effort to overturn it "faster than a shot out of a Winchester." His defense of gun rights and school prayer elicited loud cheers from the audience; I definitely felt out of place. Clearly, I was not in New York City anymore.
If conservative politics makes up one pillar of the fair, the other is southern hospitality. We were invited to eat lunch at the cabin of Dick Molpus, former Secretary of State and a longtime leader of the Democratic Party in Mississippi. Recently, Dick received attention on the Daily Show, including an on-air apology from Jon Stewart, who had made incorrect assumptions about him as a white office holder in Mississippi. In fact, Molpus, a native of Neshoba County, has been an outspoken advocate of racial justice and public education in Mississippi. He welcomed our group and served us a delicious southern (and kosher-style) lunch.
Before we left, Gabe and Lex, two co-workers, visited the Williams cabin on the advice of ESPN writer Wright Thompson. Gabe had tweeted Wright, a Mississippi native, the day before to ask his recommendations for the fair, and he told Gabe to go to the yellow cabin and ask for Snooky and Mary Lou. They were welcomed at the house and offered food and whiskey, and invited to join the hosts for a football tailgate at "The Grove" at Ole Miss in the fall. Southern hospitality at its finest.
After leaving the fair, we drove into Philadelphia, MS, site of the infamous murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman. We visited Mt. Nebo Missionary Baptist Church where there is a gravestone memorial for the three civil rights workers. After laying three stones on the marker, we headed back to Jackson.
My experience at the Neshoba County Fair was a microcosm of my time in Mississippi. I enjoyed my visit to the fair as people sat on their front porches schmoozing (though they might not use that word) and welcoming others into their cabins. The fun atmosphere of the fair is definitely palpable, and it is no wonder that people return year after year. However, being a New York Jew myself, having grown up literally three blocks away from where Andrew Goodman grew up, and having heard his brother talk at my high school a few years ago, I could not help but think about Philadelphia's ugly history, which includes the murder of someone from such a similar background as myself.
I have definitely enjoyed my summer living in the South. I can now testify that in many ways, Mississippi is no less progressive than New York. However, I also cannot reconcile the fact that the Confederate flag, a symbol of oppression for so many Mississippians, continues to occupy a section of the state flag. This past weekend, I watched Wright Thompson's documentary "Ghosts of Ole Miss," which focuses on the Ole Miss 1962 football season and its relationship to the violent resistance to the school's integration that same year. It accurately captures the questions and dilemmas that still puzzle me after spending the summer in Mississippi.
What is the appropriate way to deal with Mississippi's history? How much can today's problems be blamed on the past and how can we remember while also moving forward? Ghosts from Mississippi's past still linger today, yet there has been so much positive change. I feel like I came to understand Mississippi's ghosts – and its generosity- a little better at Neshoba. After my summer in Jackson meeting people from an assortment of backgrounds dedicated to making this state a better place, as I head home to New York, I am hopeful for Mississippi.

The first annual Nike Boys Basketball Camp at Brookland Baptist is directed by South Carolina Elite Hoops Basketball staff member Jason Harman.
This camp will focus on individual skill development with our three morning stations: Individual Skill Development, 3on3 ELITE League and Classroom/Video. Each camper will compete nationally in our 3on3 Standings, play in one 5on5 game and also participate in our Living by Numbers contests each day. This summer camp is a perfect way to prepare for your school, church, rec or AAU season. Our basketball camps maintain a player to coach ratio of 8:1 and are staffed by high school and college coaches as well as college players.
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.
If five or more campers register together, as a group by mail or fax, each camper will receive a $20 discount. If 10 or more campers register together, as a group by mail or fax, each camper will receive a $40 discount. Click "Get Brochure" above and print the application. All applications must be received at the same time via mail or fax. If all members of your group pay with a Visa or MasterCard, feel free to fax your applications to 415-479-6061 to expedite processing. Late or individual registrations are not eligible to receive the group discount.
A detailed camper registration packet containing check-in location, health/release forms, emergency contact numbers, and a checklist of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring. The US Sports Camps health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
Brookland Banquet and Conference Center is located in West Columbia, South Carolina at 1066 Sunset Blvd . BBCC is a convenient camp location for anyone in West Columbia, Cayce, South Congaree, Pine Ridge, and parts of Gaston.
Coach Harman has been ingrained in the basketball world as a player and now coach for the majority of his life. Over the past 12 years, Jason has dedicated himself to developing student-athletes across SC to become outstanding individuals on and off the court as he has helped lead countless players to successful high school, college, and even professional basketball careers. In 2010, he founded 3D Hoops Academy in the Columbia area and continues today as the CEO of the company. Jason's 3D Hoops program is the only comprehensive NCAA approved training outlet in South Carolina. Over the years, Coach Harman has coached at his Lexington High School alma mater under SC Hall of Fame coach Bailey Harris, and his 3D Hoops staff has also led several AAU teams to championship levels. Currently, Jason is also helping form the foundation of a new varsity basketball program, Northside Christian Academy, where he is head coach of the fastest growing private school in SC.
During his playing career Jason was selected as an All-Region/All-Area player at Lexington High School and helped lead the Lexington Wildcats to the 1996 4-A State Championship as well as to the 1997 State Finals. In his junior season, Wildcats star guard also went head to head against NBA legend Kobe Bryant at the Beach Ball Classic in Myrtle Beach. After high school, Jason played four years of NCAA College Basketball at USC-Aiken, where he was Co-Captain of the 2000-2001 Pacer squad. He was also named Peach Belt Academic All-Conference by Daktronics from 1999-2001. As a collegiate senior, Jason was selected to receive USC Aiken's top athletic honor for success on and off the court, the 2001 USCA Student-Athlete Leadership Award. After college, Jason was chosen in 2002 to compete against the professional national teams in Africa. Jason later furthered his education by obtaining his Master's Degree in Human Resource Development from Clemson University.

Here we are Portage, the first week of October. A time when all the farmers in the Midwest are out in their fields way into the wee hours of the night harvesting that which was sowed in the spring.
Many festivals have been planned over the years to celebrate the harvest which brings me to get the news out about our Portage Parks and Recreation Department's 2013 Harvest Festival Fine Arts Fair.
The event is this weekend, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at Woodland Park, Oakwood Hall Grand Hall, 2100 Willowcreek Road. A juried art show with many talented artists will be on hand showing and selling their hand-crafted wares.
Wine, cheese and chocolate tasting will have you salivating and wonderful entertainment will be going on both days.
Come on out and enjoy the harvest of art, food and entertainment. For more information, call (219) 762-1675.
I also want to let everyone know that you may be getting a knock on your door starting this Sunday by some from the Portage First United Methodist Church. It's time for their Stepping Out and Stopping Hunger that they do twice a year in our community to help stock the shelves of our Portage Food Pantry.
If you receive a grocery bag, please try to fill it with non-perishable items for our pantry and the member will even make arrangements to come and pick it up and get it to the pantry for you. Help stomp out hunger in Portage Township.
Lastly, I want to concentrate on all the great Portage High School Alumni happenings this week. While we just had Homecoming 2013 last week at the high school, be prepared to see many familiar faces this week around Portage coming from as far as New Mexico, Texas, Mississippi, Washington, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colorado, California and Hawaii.
Thursday kicks off the festivities with a Pre Reunion Party at the American Legion Post 260. It starts off with a great spaghetti dinner for a mere $5 a person. Short Circuit Band will be on at 8 with all the sounds you love. Bring snacks to share with everyone.
Friday has the Portage Historical Society welcoming all Portage Alumni to check out all their memorabilia at all their buildings that will be open especially for them from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Countryside Park, 5250 U.S6. Check out the Alton Goin Museum, Trager homestead and barn. At 1 p.m. the group will be showing highlights from the 1994 D.A.C. Football 5A State Runner Up Portage Indians season.
To round out the Alumni weekend will be the Portage High School Multiyear Dinner Dance this Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Duneland Falls. All classes from 1988 or before are welcome. A special alumni, Hazel Bradford, class of 1933 will be attending with her son Roger Bradford, class of 1963 and her daughter Madeline, class of 1954. How many people do you know that make it to their 80th class reunion? For more information on this special time call (219) 926-6658. It's a great weekend to be and Indian and as always, Portage rocks!

Procedure Online! - www.ParliPro.org
Promoting the study and teaching of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised
Welcome to www.parlipro.org
In large boards business is transacted the same as in the
society meetings; but in small boards the same formality is not necessary or
usual, the informality observed by committees being generally allowed. In a
board meeting where there are not more than about a dozen present, for instance,
it is not necessary to rise in order to make a motion, nor to wait for
recognition by the chair before speaking or making a motion, nor for a motion to
have a second; nor is there any limit to the number of speeches, nor does the
chairman leave the chair when making a motion or discussing a question. The
formalities necessary in order to transact business in a large assembly would
hinder business in so small a body.

Great Tip: When baking, take eggs, butter & other dairy products out of the fridge at least 30 mins to an hour before baking. (At room temperature, eggs, butter, and liquids such as milk bond and form an emulsion that traps air. During baking, the air expands, leavening the batter or dough and producing a light and airy baked good. Cold ingredients, on the other hand, don't incorporate evenly to bond.)

I think, after this comment, a little more belief should be put into Godzilla, considering it is one of the reasons IMAX's stock has gone down as of late. This is a great trailer, not to mention we have yet to see how PACIFIC RIM will fair on DVD.
It's more a return to the tone of the original Gojira, which was a fairly dark fable of the atomic age.
Not only did this trailer give me goosebumps, it made me feel like a kid again; like I did when I first watched Godzilla. I have high hopes that Mr. Edwards will do this franchise justice.
Whereas Pacific Rim and Cloverfield were essentially love stories that took place in the setting of giant creature attacks, I hope the new U.S.-based Godzilla makes as profound a statement as the original Gojira of 1954.
media conglomerates are fixated on established sure bets. you have 3 generations + of Godzilla fans. they know this and you can be sure the new Godzilla will make Pac Rim look like an entree. i just hope we don't get a new Godzilla universe that ignores his established monster foes in favor of more trendy new millennial enemies such as Metrosaurus
Being a fan of Godzilla from a young age, I can assure that many younger and older folks have been waiting for a new Godzilla movie to come out regardless Japanese or American origin. This short and small trailer really sparked my childhood emotions back and I really hope this movies makes it through so that many old and new fans can be in love with Godzilla all over again.
It looks like Gareth Edwards is bringing us back to a menacing, unstoppable force of nature–the way he was originally portrayed. It's hard not to be extremely excited about this movie!
Before Tim Burton's version of Batman, the mainstream audience only remembered the schlocky TV show with Adam West and Burt Ward going BAM! WHAMMO! POW!. At that point the Batman fan base already have read several dark stories including the famous Dark Knight Returns but you'll be hard press to tell someone at that time how dark and serious those comics were. Why? Because the mainstream only saw it as "just comic book stuff". Godzilla right now is encountering the same issue with the mainstream because all they'll think of the older 60′s 70′s films and all they think of is "man in rubber" and bad Australian dubbing ("Godziller"). This new film will bring back Godzilla to its darker roots which the mainstream isn't quiet aware of yet but will embrace and respect due to it's serious tone. Much like the Batman fan base Godzilla fans are looking for their favorite iconic monster to finally have legitimacy in the eyes of the mainstream.
It looked really good! The landscape felt very much like the intro to Dredd (a very under-rated movie) so to me it looks like Dredd meets Cloverfield a bit. I think it will be good, I just hope they do it right.
You don't stop Godzilla, you don't fight Godzilla and win, you hope you can lead it somewhere and it leaves you alone!

Class: Hacker
Group/section: Support
Weapons: A sapper that doesn't really "sap" sentries, they do a weird vise-versa thing. ( Blue goes to red, red goes to blue.) A really shizzy revolver that only does 25-45 damage, and a medkit that, well, heals people. (When I said "support" I literally meant her job is to SUPPORT the team. :/)
Health: 100 (wimpy baby girl is wimpy no lie guys.)
Why she is her own class:
I figured that having a class that's a little bit of everything couldn't hurt, so I tried making one a year ago and I FAILED so I just made her an engie and left it at that, but when I came back to her and realized it isn't a terrible idea I refined it and hopefully made her a lot better. OH YEAH; I should mention
Personality: She's unbelievably weird, as in if she thought you were attractive and you got blown in battle, she'd pick up your head and kiss it. Due to being weird she keeps herself isolated and tries VERY hard not to be around other people unless she's in battle. She's also very smart, and has super-low self worth.
Age: 22
Background: Her entire life is basically her staying away from people, she's not crazy or anything stupid like that, just lonely and strange. She suffers from insomnia, so she usually drinks lots of coffee to keep from dozing off, always has. (The reason she came to the Fort) While she was in collage getting her degree in psychology and technology she ran out of money and the Fort was an easy job, as long as you could shoot a gun, so(By kissing just the right amount of ass; ) she convinced The Administrator allowing her to work there was a good idea. In a month she got the job and, well, worked there."
I always found the idea of a "hacker" class weird. What are you hacking? What is there to hack? If you are speaking of sentries, Spy already has sapping covered. It mentions that her sappers don't sap sentries, but do a sort of opposite thing? Does it fix them? Also stating that she is not crazy but will pick up a dismembered head and kiss it…and you don't think that is a bit crazy? "the Fort was an easy job, as long as you could shoot a gun" by the looks of her arms and body shape, she really doesn't look like she can handle the recoil. Don't be afraid to give your female OCs some muscle!!!

For as long as Sarah Compton can remember, she's fought a losing battle with her sinuses.
Chronic infections, numerous rounds of antibiotics and struggling to breathe through one nostril were an unfortunate part of life for the 30-year-old schoolteacher.
"I've always been kind of miserable because of it," she explains.
But even though her clogged sinuses made her feel foggy much of the time, Compton was crystal clear about one thing: Sinus surgery was absolutely out of the question.
"I was definitely anti-surgery," she explains. "I had heard horror stories from other people who had sinus surgery. I hated the thought of having packing in my nose. I knew it wasn't for me."
Last summer, during school break, Compton was involved in a car accident. Although unrelated to her accident, her sinus symptoms worsened. Dizziness and ear pain made her feel more uncomfortable than ever.
"I just wasn't feeling right," she remembers. "I felt dizzy and unstable. I'm an active person, but I spent most of last summer in the house."
Compton's doctor referred her to Sherry Fishkin, M.D., board-certified otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist) on staff at Ingalls Memorial Hospital.
A CAT scan revealed a fluid build-up and a cyst in her sinuses. Compton met with Dr. Fishkin and reiterated her concerns: no sinus surgery.
Initially, Dr. Fishkin treated Compton with antibiotics and steroids to clear up the infection and reduce the painful swelling in her sinuses. They offered some relief at first, but it was short-lived.
Compton knew she was running out of options. Then Dr. Fishkin suggested a breakthrough, minimally invasive technique called balloon sinuplasty. The procedure uses a small catheter and balloon to quickly and effectively open and expand blocked sinuses – much like balloon angioplasty does for blocked arteries of the heart.
There is no cutting involved. And more importantly for Compton, no packing of the nose.
"In the past, chronic sinus patients had two treatment options: medications such as antibiotics and topical nasal steroids, or conventional sinus surgery," Dr. Fishkin explained.
While medication works for about 75 to 80 percent of chronic sinusitis sufferers, it does little for the rest. Surgery is the best option for these individuals. But because it involves the painful removal of bone and tissue, many patients refuse it.
"Medications were having very little impact on Miss Compton's sinuses, which were very blocked," she added. "Balloon sinuplasty was the best option."
In most cases, sinuplasty can be done without removing tissue or bone. It works by widening or expanding the bones that comprise the sinus openings. Moving the bones aside remodels the sinus cavity, creating larger openings.
That means less discomfort, a faster recovery and more permanent relief. In fact, many patients experience dramatic improvement immediately and are able to return to normal activities within a day or two. Sinuplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure.
How Sinuplasty Works
During balloon sinuplasty, an otolaryngologist inserts a flexible catheter into the patient's nostril. Using an endoscopic image on a nearby video monitor, along with a CT scan of the patient's sinuses, the doctor carefully guides the tiny catheter into the affected cavity. (In Compton's case, both sinuses were treated.)
Next, the physician inserts a small balloon, similar to those used for cardiac angioplasty, along the wire inside the catheter. Once the balloon is properly positioned in the blocked area, the doctor inflates it, dilating the sinus opening.
As the deflated balloon is removed, the sinuses drain.
The physician may have to irrigate the sinuses to flush out stubborn mucus or other material, but often, the relief is immediate. "Patients usually feel a decrease in pain and pressure right away," Dr. Fishkin added.
"In most cases, the patient is pain-free, breathing well, and ready for normal activity within a couple days," Dr. Fishkin said.
Sinuplasty means no incision, no mechanical debriding of tissue or bone, little or no bleeding, and a success rate that exceeds 90 percent.
"It's pretty amazing technology," she adds.
Compton agrees. Though it took most of her Thanksgiving break to feel back to 100%, Compton is thrilled she had it done.
"The most amazing thing is that I've been able to breathe through both nostrils," she said. "That was the most noticeable for me: how much air I was really getting in for the very first time."
While Compton spent most of her summer break indoors last year, that's definitely not the case this year.
"I'm back to walking my dog and swimming," she adds. "I'm planning a vacation. I feel great."
Compton continues to take allergy medication to combat seasonal symptoms and never leaves home without her nasal saline spray, which helps to keep her sinuses moist.
