Other Proposed Uses
Herbalists have long believed that raspberry leaf tea taken regularly during pregnancy can prevent complications and make delivery easier. Raspberry has also been used to reduce excessive menstruation and relieve symptoms of diarrhea. However, there is no evidence that it is safe or effective for these uses.
What Is Red Raspberry Used for Today?
Red raspberry tea is still commonly recommended for pregnant women . However, while there is weak preliminary evidence from animal studies that raspberry might have an effect on the uterus, 1 the only real clinical study trial reported to date found no benefit. 2 This double-blind placebo-controlled study evaluated the effects of red raspberry in 192 pregnant women. Treatment (placebo or 2.4 g of raspberry leaf daily) began at the 32nd week of pregnancy and was continued until the onset of labor. The results failed to show any statistically meaningful differences between the group. Red raspberry did not significantly shorten labor, reduce pain, or prevent complications. Thus, at present, it appears that red raspberry does not work in the manner ascribed to it by tradition.
To make raspberry leaf tea, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 or 2 teaspoons of dried leaf, steep for 10 minutes, and then sweeten to taste. Unlike many medicinal herbs, raspberry leaf actually has a pleasant taste! During pregnancy, drink 2 to 3 cups daily.
Safety Issues
Raspberry is believed to be a safe herb. The double-blind placebo-controlled trial noted above found no evidence of harm in the 96 pregnant women given red raspberry. 3 However, this does not exclude the possibility of rare side effects or toxicity with excessive dosages. Safety in young children or those with severe liver or kidney disease has also not been established.

The Eclipse Foundation has released Eclipse Xtend 2.4, a new statically typed programming language that translates to readable Java source code. Xtend focuses on bidirectional interoperability with Java and runs on all Java VMs and Android's Dalvik VM.

A number of new JVM-based languages have been introduced into the Java ecosystem, such as Clojure, JRuby, Groovy, Scala, and Xtend. Eclipse says that Xtend provides a "better Java language" by adding language features such as lambdas and operator overloading, as well as extension methods that reduce what the foundation labels as the "verbosity" of the Java language.
Xtend works with Java to allow developers to reuse existing Java libraries, frameworks, and tools. The new features in the Xtend 2.4 release include support for writing Android applications so that developers can use Xtend to create apps with less code than via the normal Java language.
NOTE: Xtend works with the existing Android Development Kit, so it has minimal impact on the size of the final application.
Also highlighted are Active Annotations. This new feature in Xtend builds upon Java annotations and makes it possible to participate in the translation process of Xtend source code to Java source code. Code patterns can now be formally implemented and automatically expanded during compilation, which reduces the amount of boilerplate developers have to write.
Xtend 2.4 introduces several new language features, including collection literals, extension variables, and support for declaring enums, interfaces, and regular annotations. There is also improved tool support as the Xtend plugin for the Eclipse IDE has been enhanced to provide "better developer tooling support" (says Eclipse) than other JVM languages.
"Xtend 2.4 is a very significant release for the Xtend project," said Sven Efftinge, project lead of Xtend. "We are particularly proud of the new Active Annotation feature since it solves many of the problems developers are working around with wizards and code generators today. We are also excited about reaching into the Android community to offer a new language for building Android applications."

The Facts About ADHD
What is ADHD?
What causes ADHD?
How is ADHD diagnosed?
How is ADHD treated?
What research is being done?
Other Information
Sam Goldstein, Ph.D.
Neurology, Learning and Behavior Center
University of Utah
Salt Lake City, Utah
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattentive,
hyperactive, and impulsive behavior. These problems are often inappropriate and
cause difficulty in daily life. ADHD is a "biopsychosocial" disorder. That is, there
appear to be strong genetic, biological, life experience, and social factors that
contribute to the extent of problems. ADHD affects 3% to 5% of individuals throughout
their life. Early identification and proper treatment dramatically reduces the family,
educational, behavioral, and psychological problems experienced by individuals with
ADHD. It is believed that through accurate diagnosis and treatment, these problems-including
school failure and dropout, depression, behavioral disorders, vocational and relationship
problems, and substance abuse-can be properly managed or even avoided.
At one time, it was thought that the symptoms of ADHD lessen by adolescence. Research
has now found that the majority of individuals with ADHD become adults with a very
similar pattern of problems. Adults with ADHD experience problems at work, in the
community, and in their families. They also exhibit a greater degree of emotional
problems, including depression and anxiety.
Researchers first described the inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive problems
of children with ADHD in 1902. Since that time, the disorder has been referred to
by different names, including Minimal Brain Dysfunction, Hyperkinetic Reaction of
Childhood, Attention Deficit Disorder, and, currently, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity
ADHD interferes with an individual's ability to stay attentive, particularly in
the face of repetitive tasks; to manage effectively emotions and activity level;
to respond consistently to consequences; and, perhaps, most importantly, to inhibit,
i.e., to stop from doing something. Individuals with ADHD may know what to do, but
do not do what they know, because they are unable to stop and think prior to responding,
regardless of the setting or the task.
Characteristics of ADHD occur in early childhood for most individuals. Chronic behaviors
last at least six months, with an onset often before seven years of age.
Four subtypes of ADHD have been defined. The first type is ADHD-Inattentive Type,
and is defined by an individual experiencing at least six of the following characteristics:
The second type is ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive Type, and is defined by an
individual experiencing six of the following characteristics:
The third type is ADHD-Combined Type, and is defined by an individual meeting
both the inattentive and the hyperactive/impulsive criteria.
The fourth type is ADHD-Not Otherwise Specified, and is defined by an individual
who shows some characteristics, but an insufficient number of symptoms to reach
a full diagnosis. These symptoms, however, disrupt daily life.
School-age individuals with ADHD have a greater likelihood of not advancing to the
next grade level, school dropout, academic underachievement, and social and emotional
problems. It has been suggested that the symptoms of ADHD may cause children to
fail in two of the most important areas for their development-school and peer relationships.
With increasing medical, educational, mental health, and community knowledge about
the symptoms of and the problems caused by ADHD, an increasing number of individuals
are being identified, diagnosed, and treated. Nonetheless, it is still suspected
that a significant group of individuals with ADHD either go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
Their problems intensify and create significant hurdles meeting life's demands.
Often, ADHD has been inaccurately portrayed as a learning disability. ADHD is a
performance disorder. Children with ADHD are able to learn, but they have difficulty
performing in school due to the impact of the ADHD symptoms. However, approximately
20% to 30% of children with ADHD do have a learning disability, which makes the
identification and treatment of ADHD more difficult. In the childhood years, individuals
with ADHD also have an increased risk of developing problems related to oppositional
defiance, delinquency, conduct disorder, depression, and anxiety. However, research
suggests that it is not ADHD alone, but rather ADHD combined with the development
of conduct disorder that may cause the most terrible adolescent outcomes, particularly
those related to criminal behavior and substance abuse.
Adults with ADHD also experience problems related to anti-social behavior, vocational
and educational underachievement, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Unfortunately,
many adults, today, with ADHD were not properly diagnosed as children. They grew
up struggling with a disability that often went undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or untreated.
The majority of adults with ADHD have symptoms very similar to those experienced
by children. They are restless, easily distracted, inattentive, impulsive, and impatient.
Often, they are unable to handle stress. Within the workplace, they may not achieve
positions or status equal to that of their siblings or intellectual ability.
Commonly suspected causes of ADHD have included toxins, developmental impairments,
diet, injury, ineffective parenting, and heredity. It has been suggested that these
potential causes affect brain functioning; thus, ADHD is considered a disorder of
brain function. A number of studies have shown significant differences in the structure
and brain function of individuals with ADHD, particularly in the right hemisphere
of the brain, pre-frontal cortex, basal ganglia, corpus callosum, and cerebellum.
These structural and metabolic studies, combined with family, genetic, and drug
response studies, have indicated that ADHD is a neurobiological disorder. Though
the severity of problems experienced by individuals with ADHD may vary based upon
life experience, genetics appears to be the primary underlying factor in determining
if an individual will show the symptoms of ADHD.
Diagnosing ADHD is a multifaceted process. Many biological and psychological problems
can cause symptoms similar to those shown by individuals with ADHD. For example,
inattention is a symptom of depression. Impulsive behavior is a characteristic sign
of delinquency.
A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to diagnose ADHD, in addition to considering
and evaluating other causes, and determining the presence or absence of other conditions.
Obtaining a careful life history is the most important aspect in diagnosing ADHD.
Often, an evaluation for ADHD will assess intellectual, academic, social, and emotional
functioning. A medical examination is important to rule out other possible causes
of ADHD-like symptoms (e.g., adverse reaction to medications, thyroid problems,
etc.). The diagnostic process must include gathering information from teachers and
other adults who interact routinely with the individual being evaluated. Although
office- or laboratory-based paper and pencil, problem solving, and computerized
tasks are popular in assessing ADHD, researchers are evaluating their validity.
With adults, it is even more important to obtain a careful history of childhood,
academic, behavioral, and vocational problems. Since ADHD has been recognized as
a disorder that occurs throughout life, questionnaires and other related tools for
diagnosing ADHD in adults have been standardized and are available.
Treating ADHD in children requires a coordinated effort between medical, mental
health, and educational professionals, with the parents. The combined set of treatments
offered by various individuals is referred to as "multi-modal intervention." A multi-modal
treatment program for ADHD should include the following:
Psychostimulants are the most widely used medications to manage ADHD symptoms. At
least 70% to 80% of children and adults with ADHD respond positively to psychostimulant
medications. These medications are considered performance enhancers. Thus, they
may, to some extent, stimulate the performance of all individuals. However, given
their specific problems, children with ADHD appear to improve, with a reduction
in impulsive and hyperactive behavior and an increase in attention span.
Behavior management is important for children with ADHD. The use of positive reinforcement
with punishment, in a model referred to as "response cost," is particularly effective
for children with ADHD.
Most children with ADHD can be taught in a regular classroom with minor adjustments
in the classroom setting, the addition of support personnel, and/or special education
programs provided outside of the classroom. The most severely affected children
with ADHD often require specialized classrooms.
Adults with ADHD may benefit from learning to structure their environment; to develop
organizational skills; to receive vocational counseling; and, if needed, to have
short-term psychotherapy to cope with life experiences and personal problems. For
some individuals, with a combination of ADHD and other problems, particularly depression,
long-term psychotherapy can be beneficial to teach behavior change and coping strategies.
ADHD treatments are effective in reducing immediate, symptomatic problems. However,
the long-term outcome research for children with ADHD has led researchers to conclude
that symptom relief alone may not significantly impact the long-term outcome. Thus,
ADHD treatments are provided to relieve symptoms, while efforts also are made to
assist the ADHD individual in building life success.
To help parents in treating their ADHD child, a nine-point set of strategies is
outlined below (Goldstein and Goldstein, 1998).
Step 1: Learn About ADHD. It is important to understand that managing ADHD-driven
behavior at home requires accurate knowledge of the disorder and its complications.
This is not a problem that can be cured. It will affect children throughout their
life. You must be consistent, predictable, and supportive of a child in daily interactions.
You will be repeatedly placed in an advocacy position with schools and community
resources. It is suggested that you consider joining a parent support organization
directed at ADHD.
Step 2: Understanding Incompetence vs. Non-Compliance. You must distinguish
between problems that result from incompetence and those that result from non-compliance.
The former must be dealt with through education and skill building. The latter is
usually quite effectively dealt with through consequences. You must understand that
punishing a child for symptoms of ADHD may lead to remorse and a promise of better
behavior, but stands little chance of changing behavior in the future.
You must develop a set of strategies to deal with ADHD symptoms by making tasks
interesting, payoffs more valuable, and increasing consistency at home, while providing
a consistent set of punishments for non-compliant behavior. The best way of dealing
with non-compliance is to make certain that you have control over consequences,
issue appropriate commands, manage rewards, and use response cost techniques.
Step 3: Give Positive Directions. You must make certain that positive, rather
than negative, directions are given. A positive direction tells the child what to
begin doing, rather than focusing on what to stop doing. Such directions are clear
(e.g., "please begin your math homework"), rather than vague (e.g., "pay attention").
The need for repeated trials cannot be overemphasized. You serve as a control system
for your child. Your child is going to require more management and supervision in
an appropriate, consistent, affirmative way than other children.
Step 4: Provide Ample Rewards. You must provide ample rewards for appropriate
behavior. Social and tangible rewards must be provided more frequently when an ADHD
child succeeds. Children with ADHD also require more immediate, frequent, predictable,
and consistently applied consequences. It is important for the child to learn to
consistently act when expected behaviors are required. Most children with ADHD know
how to do what is requested, but have difficulty doing so when they are supposed
to. Children with ADHD also have been found to receive less positive reinforcement
than their siblings.
It is important to avoid negative reinforcement. This only results in removing the
negative consequences when the child complies. This often leads to immediate compliance,
but, in the long run, it reinforces, rather than discourages, inappropriate behavior.
Token systems, which are particularly effective for children and early teens with
ADHD, should be used. Often, token systems fail at home, not because they are ineffective,
but because they can be cumbersome and then poorly managed. Tokens should be used
with children who are four to seven years old, and points with those children who
are eight years and older. Required activities should be kept to a reasonable length,
and an extensive list of reinforcers should be available, with at least one third
of points or tokens available each day. Children should be able to spend about two
thirds of points or tokens earned each day. Bonuses should be paid for a good attitude.
You should always allow your children to earn their way off a system through compliant
behavior, but a minimum of six to eight weeks on a token system, once it is initiated,
should be required.
Step 5: Choose Your Battles. You should choose your battles carefully. While
it is essential for you to stay one step ahead, it also is important for you to
recognize and accept the difficulties that your child experiences due to ADHD. You
should reinforce positive behavior, apply immediate consequences for behaviors that
cannot be ignored, and use tokens or points with ADHD children. Consequences, both
rewards and punishments, should be provided quickly and consistently.
Step 6: Use Response Cost Techniques. You must understand the use of response
cost, a punishing technique in which you might lose what you have earned. If a give
and take response cost system is used, you must make certain the child does not
go bankrupt. It may be equally effective, especially with older children and teens,
to start with the entire payoff and then have the individual work to keep it. For
example, instead of providing the child with a $5 allowance at the end of the week
when she behaves appropriately, parents may place $5 in nickels in a jar on the
shelf that is visible to the child. As long as the child behaves appropriately,
the $5 belongs to the child. For every infraction that has been clearly defined
and agreed upon between the parents and the child, a nickel is removed from the
jar. At the end of the week, the remaining amount is given to the child.
Step 7: Plan Appropriately. You must learn to respond to the child's limits
in a proactive way. Accepting the diagnosis of ADHD means accepting the need to
make changes in the child's environment. Routines should be consistent and rarely
vary. Rules should be stated clearly and concisely. Activities or situations in
which the child has a history of risk for problems should either be avoided or carefully
Step 8: Punishing Appropriately. Most likely, punishment alone will not reduce
the symptoms of ADHD. However, punishment does play a role as a consequence for
non-compliant behaviors. Punishment also is partially appropriate if a rule is violated,
even as the result of ADHD. However, in this circumstance, punishment must not be
provided alone, because it will not change the child's long-term behavior. For a
child with ADHD, you must understand that unless a managing strategy is provided
along with punishment, it is not likely that the punishment will cause a change
in behavior.
Step 9: Building Islands of Competence. Because of your child's ADHD, there
is a greater likelihood that the relationship between you and your child will be
strained. However, in the end, it is what is right about children, rather than what
is wrong about them, that best predicts their life outcome. Increasingly, the mental
health field is focusing on building strengths, rather than attempting to hammer
away at weaknesses. One of the best predictors of building strengths is the parents'
relationship with their child. If you approach each day with a sense of hope, encouragement,
acceptance, and honesty, you will empower your child. If you approach each day with
a sense of despair, discouragement, anger, and blame, you will not only jeopardize
your child's future, but also further feed their sense of powerlessness and hopelessness.
Most likely, ADHD will continue to be the most widely researched and debated area
in mental health and child development. New ground is broken daily. The five-year,
multi-site, multi-modal ADHD treatment study recently completed by the National
Institute of Mental Health has provided an expanded set of answers concerning the
diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of individuals with ADHD. Ongoing studies of molecular
genetics also may soon reliably identify the genes related to this disorder.

Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is surgery to decrease the structure and size of your stomach. This restricts the amount of food you are able to consume.
Reasons for Procedure
Body mass index (BMI) is used to determine if a person is overweight or obese. A normal BMI is 18.5 to 25. This surgery is an option for people with:
- BMI over 40
- BMI 35-39.9 and a life-threatening condition or physical limitations that affect employment, movement, and family life
If lifestyle changes are made, the benefits of VSG include:
- Weight reduction
- Improvement in many obesity-related conditions
- Improved movement and stamina
- Enhanced mood and self-esteem
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Stitches or staples may loosen
- Pouch stretches or leaks
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Heart attack
- Blood clots
- Nausea, vomiting
Long-term complications include vomiting and developing gallstones .
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Chronic disease such as diabetes
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Each bariatric surgery program has specific requirements. Your program will likely include the following:
- Physical exam and review of medical history
- Blood test and other tests
- Meetings with a registered dietitian
- Mental health test and counseling
Leading up to your procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
- Do not start any new medications, herbs, or supplements without talking to your doctor.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
- Arrange for help at home as you recover.
- You may be given antibiotics.
- You may be given laxatives and/or an enema to clear your intestines.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight unless told otherwise by your doctor.
- Shower or bathe the morning of your surgery.
General anesthesia will be given through an IV. It will block pain and keep you asleep through surgery.
Description of the Procedure
Several small cuts will be made in your abdomen. Gas will be pumped in to inflate your abdomen, making it easier for the doctor to see. A laparoscope and surgical tools will be inserted through the incisions. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted tool with a tiny camera. It sends images of your abdominal cavity to a monitor. Your doctor will operate while viewing the monitor.
Surgical staples will be used to divide the stomach vertically. The new stomach will be the shape of a slim banana. The rest of the stomach will be removed. Your new stomach can hold 50-150 mL (milliliters) of food—about 10% of what a normal adult stomach can hold. Incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.
In some cases, the doctor may need to switch to open surgery.
Immediately After Procedure
The breathing tube and catheter will be removed.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is 2-3 days.
Post-procedure Care
You can expect the following:
- A small tube with a camera may be used to look down your throat and into your stomach to check for problems.
- You will receive nutrition through an IV, but then slowly start eating again.
In the hospital, you may be asked to:
- Use a device called an incentive spirometer to prevent breathing problems
- Wear elastic surgical stockings or boots to promote blood flow in your legs
- Get up and walk daily
Your bowels will work more slowly than usual. Chewing gum may help speed the process of your bowel function returning to normal.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
You will need to practice lifelong healthy eating and exercising habits. After your surgery:
- Do not lift anything heavy for at least 2 weeks.
- You may have emotional changes after this surgery. Your doctor may refer you to a therapist.
- You will meet regularly with your healthcare team for monitoring and support.
For good nutrition:
- Eat a clear liquid diet for about 1 week.
- Begin with 4-6 small meals per day. A meal is 2 ounces of food.
- Your diet will progress from soft, pureed foods to regular foods.
- Solid food must be well-chewed.
- Get enough protein.
- Do not eat too much or too quickly.
- Avoid high-calorie foods.
- Avoid dehydration by drinking fluids before or after meals.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Persistent cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Worsening abdominal pain
- Blood in the stool
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Persistent nausea or vomiting
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- New or unexpected symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

A thyroid uptake and scan is a test that uses a radioactive substance and a scanning tool to evaluate the thyroid gland. The scanner picks up where and how much the radioactive substance was taken up by the thyroid. This helps determine the structure, location, size, and activity of the gland.
Reasons for Test
The scan may be ordered to:
- Determine the cause of an overactive thyroid— hyperthyroidism
- Test how well the thyroid is working
- Determine if a thyroid nodule is functioning (if it is making thyroid hormone)
Possible Complications
Thyroid scans are associated with very few risks. Tell your doctor if you:
- Have an allergy to medication or food, including iodine or shellfish
- Are (or might be) pregnant or breastfeeding—the test could expose the baby to radiation
- Take any medications on a regular basis—some can interfere with test results
- If you recently had any CT scans , cardiac catheterizations , or other imaging tests that use contrast dye
What to Expect
Prior to Test
- You may be asked to avoid certain food (containing iodine) or thyroid medication before the scan. Some can interfere with the results.
- Jewelry, dentures, and other metallic objects will be removed.
- You may be asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight.
- Your doctor may order some tests to measure the amount of thyroid hormone in your blood.
Description of Test
You will be given a radioactive substance by mouth. Once the substance has had time to collect in the thyroid, the scan begins. You will lie on your back with your head tilted back. You will be asked to lie very still at certain times. A scanner will take pictures of your thyroid from different angles. The camera is not an x-ray machine. It does not expose you to more radiation. You may need to return to the radiology department after 24 hours for additional pictures.
After Test
You will be able to leave after the test is done.
Because of the very low dose of radioactive substance used, the majority of the radioactive substance will leave your body in 1-2 days. You are not at risk for exposing other people to radiation. You can interact normally with them.
How Long Will It Take?
The scan itself takes about half an hour. The radioactive substance needs time to be absorbed before the scan. You may need to wait 4-6 hours if you take the substance by mouth.
Will It Hurt?
There is no pain associated with a thyroid scan. There may be times when you find it uncomfortable to lie still with your head tilted backward.
The pictures of the scan take about an hour to develop. A radiologist will examine them. Based on the results of the test, further studies or treatment will be recommended.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if you experience any unusual pain or discomfort.
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Dog gets 'life sentence' for mauling child
Arizona pit bull sent to no-kill shelter run by Sheriff Joe Arpaio
PHOENIX (KPHO) – Mickey, a dog that mauled a 4-year-old Phoenix boy, was sentenced to life behind bars in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's no-kill animal shelter on Tuesday.
Judge Deborah Griffith also ordered that the pit bull be de-fanged and micro-chipped and that he will not be adopted or fostered out. Mickey has already been neutered since mauling Kevin Vicente in February as the boy tried to take the dog's bone.
Griffith rejected a request from attorneys representing the dog to donate the $2,500 it will cost to de-fang the dog to Kevin and his family to help with medical expenses.
Arpaio agreed to keep Mickey for the rest of the dog's life and to appear annually for a status conference on Mickey. Mickey will be kept behind bars and isolated from the general public and other animals in the MASH shelter.
He also agreed that no taxpayer money would be used to train inmates on how to handle the dog. Arpaio said many of the inmates are trained in how to handle "vicious" dogs and that there is about $200,000 in donations to help maintain the MASH shelter.
Arpaio formed the MASH shelter in 2000 after an animal cruelty case in which he termed the animals the "true victims." He renovated a section of the First Avenue Jail that is now air conditioned and can comfortably house the animals.
The case got international attention after a heated debate on social media about the cause for the attack and the fate of the pit bull.
A judge said the dog was vicious, but ruled against euthanization.
Mickey had been staying at the Maricopa County Animal Care and Control Shelter. Griffith said the MCACC will not be held for any future incidents.
"That dog is going to do a life sentence in the jail, but a nice life sentence with good food, air conditioning, his own room," Arpaio said. "I mean what else, but being loved by the inmates and detention officers?"
Mickey mauled Kevin while at his babysitter's home in February when the boy tried to take away the dog's bone. Kevin has gone through extensive surgeries, had a broken jaw and lost an eye.
Griffith made the decision in late March that while Mickey would not be euthanized, he must be neutered, defanged, microchipped and never adopted out.
Arpaio then announced via Twitter, "My jail for animals may get a new lifetime resident, Mickey the pit bull. Inmates will care for him and not a taxpayer cent will be used."

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
- "Balancing" Hormone Levels
- Cervical Dysplasia
- Female Sexual Function
- Male Sexual Function
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is produced when the substance indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is digested. Indole-3-carbinol, found in broccoli and other vegetables, has shown considerable promise for cancer prevention . Some of its benefits in this regard may occur after it is converted by the body to DIM.
DIM also has complex interactions with the hormone estrogen, which could lead to either positive or negative effects on cancer risk.
There is no dietary requirement for DIM. Good natural sources include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower.
Therapeutic Dosages
Manufacturers selling DIM products typically recommend about 500 to 1,000 mg daily. The optimal dose (if there is any) is not known.
Therapeutic Uses
Numerous test-tube and animal studies hint that DIM is might help prevent various types of cancer, especially breast, cervical, prostate, and uterine cancer. 1-16
However, this evidence is far too preliminary to serve as the basis for recommending that anyone use DIM. As with many proposed cancer-preventing substances, there are also circumstances in which DIM might actually increase the risk of cancer. 17-19
Some of DIM's apparent anticancer benefits appear to derive from its complex interactions with estrogen. 20-27
DIM appears to alter liver function in such a manner that an increased amount of estrogen becomes metabolized into inactive forms. In addition, DIN blocks certain effects of estrogen on cells; however, it may enhance other effects of estrogen. The overall effect is far too complex and poorly understood to be described as "balancing estrogen in the body," which is what many websites say about DIM.
DIM also appears to have an anti-testosterone effect, which could make it helpful for preventing or treating breast cancer. 28 Again, on some websites this effect has been over-optimistically termed "balancing testosterone levels."
Highly preliminary evidence hints that DIM may offer benefit for diseases caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). These include cervical dysplasia and respiratory papillomatosis. 29,30
According to some manufacturers, DIM can enhance sexual function in men or women , and also enhance sports performance . However, there is no evidence that it actually works.
Safety Issues
DIM is thought to be a relatively nontoxic substance. However, comprehensive safety studies have not been completed. Due to DIM's complex interactions with estrogen and testosterone, it has the potential for causing hormonal disturbances. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
Although there are no known drug interactions with DIM, the substance has shown considerable potential for interacting with many medications. 31-33
For this reason, we recommend that if you use any medication that is critical for your health, do not use DIM except under a physician's supervision.

The effects of stress on your health can be far-reaching. Some of the conditions often associated with stress include insomnia , high blood pressure , tension headaches , anxiety , depression , decreased mental function , and drug or alcohol abuse . Stress is known to cause changes in the body's chemistry, altering the balance of hormones in our systems in ways that can lower our resistance to disease. As a result, we can become more susceptible to colds and flus , and other types of illness. Too much stress sometimes brings on outbreaks of cold sores or genital herpes for people who carry these viruses in their systems. Other chronic diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome , asthma , inflammatory bowel disease , and rheumatoid arthritis may also flare up during times of stress.
If it's possible to avoid situations that cause you to feel tense, unhappy, or worn down, that's obviously to your benefit. However, it isn't always possible to live a stress-free existence. Work deadlines, family demands, relationship problems, traffic jams, missed appointments, forgotten birthdays, personality conflicts, college exams—all of these things, and many more, can be sources of stress. Furthermore, though most of us associate stress with unpleasant events, even wonderful events in our lives, like weddings, vacations, and holidays, can be genuinely stressful.
Not everyone responds to these situations by getting "stressed out." There are those apparently unflappable folks whose pulse rate wouldn't even go up during an earthquake, and then there are those for whom being five minutes late constitutes reason for a state of total panic. How you manage the stress in your life can determine the impact it will have on you.
There are many different methods of dealing with stress. The basics for good health that we all know (but often forget) help in coping with stress: Eating a balanced diet and getting adequate rest help your body adapt and respond to the events in your life. Ironically, stress can interfere with your ability to take care of yourself in this way. When you're worrying so much you can't sleep, getting adequate rest becomes impossible. Stress can affect your eating habits too. So what else can you do? Exercise, meditation, and biofeedback are all widely accepted stress management tools that might help you break out of a stress-induced downward spiral.
For some people, stressful circumstances can trigger symptoms severe enough to warrant seeking medical attention. Conditions associated with stress, such as insomnia , anxiety , depression , and panic attacks , may become severe enough to require medications.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
One proposed natural approach to treating the physical consequences of stress involves the use of so-called adaptogens . The term "adaptogen" refers to a hypothetical treatment described as follows: An adaptogen helps the body adapt to stresses of various kinds, whether heat, cold, exertion, trauma, sleep deprivation, toxic exposure, radiation, infection, or psychological stress. Furthermore, an adaptogen should cause no side effects, be effective in treating a wide variety of illnesses, and help return an organism toward balance no matter what may have gone wrong.
However, physical exercise is the only indubitable example of an adaptogen. There is no solid evidence that any substance functions in this way. However there is a bit of suggestive evidence for the herb Panax ginseng , which is discussed in the next section.
Panax Ginseng
Most of the evidence cited to indicate that Panax ginseng has adaptogenic effects comes from animal studies involving ginseng extracts injected into the abdomen. Such studies are of questionable relevance to the oral use of ginseng by people; furthermore, the majority of these studies were performed in the former Soviet Union and failed to reach acceptable scientific standards. However, a few potentially meaningful studies in humans have found effects that are at least consistent with the possibility of benefits in stressful situations.
According to a number of animal studies, most of which were poorly designed and reported, Panax ginseng injections into the blood stream or abdomen can increase stamina, improve mental function, protect against radiation, infections, toxins, exhaustion, and stress, and activate white blood cells. 1 However, when ginseng is injected into the abdomen or bloodstream, it enters the body directly without going through the digestive tract. This mode of administration is strikingly different from taking ginseng by mouth.
A smaller number of animal studies (again, most of them poorly designed) have looked at the potential benefits of ginseng administered orally, and often reported benefit. 2-8 In addition, studies in mice found that consuming ginseng before exposure to a virus significantly increased the survival rate and number of antibodies produced. 9,10
Human studies of Panax ginseng have only indirectly examined its potential benefits as an adaptogen. For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study found evidence that Panax ginseng may improve immune system response. 11 This trial enrolled 227 participants at three medical offices in Milan, Italy. Half were given ginseng at a dosage of 100 mg daily, and the other half received placebo . Four weeks into the study, all participants received influenza vaccine.
The results showed a significant decline in the frequency of colds and flus in the treated group compared to the placebo group (15 versus 42 cases). Also, antibody levels in response to the vaccination rose higher in the treated group than in the placebo group.
These findings have been taken by some researchers to support their belief that ginseng has an adaptogenic effect. However, the study might instead simply indicate a general form of immune support unrelated to stress.
Other studies have looked at Panax ginseng's effects on overall mental function , 15-17general well-being , 18-21,54 and sports performance . 22-28,52 While it is true that positive results in such studies might tend to hint at an adaptogenic effect, the results were, in general, too mixed to provide conclusive evidence for benefit.
The bottom line: It is not clear that Panax ginseng offers general benefits for stress.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Ginseng article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Multivitamins Plus Minerals
Surprisingly, a treatment as simple as multivitamin-mineral tablets may be helpful for stress.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 300 men and women were given either a multivitamin-mineral tablet or placebo for 30 days. 38 The results showed that people taking the nutritional supplement experienced less anxiety overall and an enhanced ability to cope with stressful circumstances. The supplement used in this study supplied the following nutrients and dosages: vitamin B 1 (10 mg), vitamin B 2 (15 mg), vitamin B 6 (10 mg), vitamin B 12 (10 mcg), vitamin C (1,000 mg), calcium (100 mg), and magnesium (100 mg).
Benefits were seen in another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 80 healthy male volunteers. 39 The supplement used in this trial was similar but not identical.
It's not clear how these nutrients help stress. But, considering that many of us would benefit from general nutritional supplementation in any case, it might be worth trying.
Eleutherococcus senticosus
In the 1940s, Dr. Brekhman, the same scientist who first dubbed Panax ginseng an adaptogen, decided that a much less expensive herb, Eleutherococcus senticosus , is also an adaptogen. A thorny bush that grows much more rapidly than true ginseng, this plant later received the misleading name of "Siberian" or "Russian ginseng." Its chemical makeup, however, is completely unrelated to that of Panax ginseng .
As with Panax ginseng , many animal studies finding adaptogenic benefits with eleutherococcus have been reported, but most were relatively poorly designed and used injections rather than oral administration of the herb, making the results not particularly relevant to the normal human usage of the herb.
Numerous human trials of eleutherococcus have been reported as well, some involving enormous numbers of participants. However, most of these were not double-blind and many were not even controlled , making the results nearly meaningless. (For information on why double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are essential to establish the effectiveness of a treatment, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
Again, as with Panax ginseng , a few reasonably well-designed studies in humans have been reported that may have indirect bearing on the herb's potential adaptogenic properties. For example, in one double-blind trial, participants took either 10 ml of extract of eleutherococcus or placebo 3 times daily for a 4-week period. Blood samples were analyzed to determine changes in immune cells. A statistically significant increase in numbers of cells important to immune functions was observed in the treatment group as compared to the placebo group.
This study has been widely advertised as proving the eleutherococcus strengthens immunity. However, mere changes in immune cell profile do not at all automatically translate into enhanced immunity. (See the Immune Support article for more information on why this is so.) More meaningful data was obtained in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 93 people who experience recurrent flare-ups of herpes . 41 Use of eleutherococcus significantly reduced the severity, frequency, and duration of herpes outbreaks relative to placebo during the 6-month trial. This study does suggest a possible immune strengthening effect.
Like Panax ginseng , eleutherococcus has also been studied for potential sports performance enhancement benefits, but published studies have not been encouraging. 42,55 One small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of endurance athletes actually found that use of eleutherococcus may increase physiologic signs of stress during intensive training. 52
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Eleutherococcus article.
Other Possible Adaptogens
Three small double-blind trials suggest that the herb rhodiola ( Rhodiola rosea ) may improve mental alertness in people undergoing sleep deprivation or other stressful circumstances. 44,45,56
Numerous other herbs are said to be adaptogens as well. These include ashwagandha , astragalus , maitake , reishi , shiitake, suma , and schisandra . However, there is little to no real evidence as yet that they have adaptogenic effects.
One study failed to find greater adaptogenic effects with fish oil as compared to placebo. 59
Alternative Therapies
Many people report that they experience stress relief through the use of alternative therapies, such as biofeedback , guided imagery , hypnotherapy , relaxation therapy , Tai chi , massage , and yoga . Regarding the use of massage therapy, one study failed to find regular massage more effective for controlling stress than use of a relaxation tape. 60 Whereas, a large 2012 review of 35 studies involving 1,794 people found evidence to support the use of yoga to decrease stress and anxiety, although the overall quality of these studies was poor. 75
Other Options
A study failed to find either cognitive behavioral therapy or increased physical activity helpful for stress-related illnesses. 68
Preliminary evidence, including small, double blind trials suggest that the amino acid tyrosine may improve memory and mental function under conditions of sleep deprivation or other forms of stress. 50,51,69
One double-blind study found that use of vitamin C at doses of 3,000 mg daily (slow release) reduced both physical and emotional responses to stress. 53
In small double-blind studies, theanine, a constituent of black tea , appeared to reduce the body's reaction to acute physical or psychological stress. 61,65 Benefits have also been seen with a combination of lysine (2.64 g per day) and arginine (2.64 g per day). 67
One double-blind study found evidence that a processed form of casein (a protein found in milk) may reduce a variety of stress-related symptoms. 66
According to another small, double-blind trial, a mixture of soy phosphatidylserine and lecithin may decrease the physiological response to mental stress. 62 Another study evaluated use of phosphatidylserine for reducing stress in golfers, but the benefits seen failed to reach statistical significance . 74
A proprietary Ayurvedic herbal formula containing Bacopa monniera and almost 30 other ingredients has shown some promise for treating symptoms of stress. In a 3-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 42 people in high-stress jobs who complained of fatigue, participants using the herbal formula reported fewer stress-related problems. 57 Also, in a 3-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 50 adult students, this formula appeared to improve memory and attention and reduce other signs of stress. 58
In naturopathic medicine, adrenal extract are often recommended for treatment of stress, but there is no evidence that this treatment is effective.
Equivocal evidence hints that valerian , alone or in combination with lemon balm, might reduce anxiety symptoms during stressful situations. 46,63-64
Three studies failed to find Bach flower remedies helpful for situational anxiety (anxiety caused by stressful situations). 70-72
For other natural treatments relevant to stress, see the discussion in the articles on insomnia and anxiety .

On March 28, 1842 Otto Nicolai conducted a "grand concert" that was performed by all the members of the Royal and Imperial Court Opera. This "Philharmonic Academy" is rightly considered to be the birth of the Wiener Philharmoniker, since, for the first time, all the principles of the "philharmonic idea" were realized: only members of the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera (formerly Court Opera) are eligible to become members of the Wiener Philharmoniker; the orchestral has artistic, organizational and financial independence; all decisions are reached in a democratic way; and the actual administration is carried out by a twelve-member, democratically elected committee.
After twelve years of stagnation, the Wiener Philharmoniker gave its first subscription concert on January 15, 1860 under the direction of the opera director, Carl Eckert. The philharmonic concerts have continued, without interruption, ever since.
The only basic change took place in 1933 when a series of guest conductors replaced the system of choosing a conductor for a whole season. After Otto Dessoff systematically expanded the repertoire, Hans Richter, the legendary conductor of the Bayreuth premiere of Wagner's Ring der Nibelungen, succeeded in establishing the ensemble's worldwide reputation and incomparable tradition. Encounters with Wagner, Verdi, Bruckner, Brahms, Liszt and others, either as conductor or soloist, further enhanced this reputation. Gustav Mahler led the first concert of the orchestra outside of Austria, at the Paris World's Fair of 1900. Working together with Arturo Toscanini in the years 1933 -37 was another highlight. The close relationship with Richard Strauss was of great importance as far as music history was concerned. Between 1906 and 1944, he conducted numerous performances around the world and was bound with the orchestra in a sincere friendship.
At the beginning of World War II, the National Socialists immediately dismissed all Jewish artists from the Vienna State Opera. Only the intervention of Wilhelm Furtwängler brought the cancellation of an order to dissolve the philharmonic association. He also saved the "half-Jews" and relatives of Jews from dismissal. The orchestra, however, mourned the deaths of six of its Jewish members who were murdered in concentration camps and that of a young violinist who was killed on the eastern front.
After the second World War, the Wiener Philharmoniker revived its connections to all major conductors. Collaboration with honorary conductors Karl Böhm and Herbert von Karajan, as well as honorary member Leonard Bernstein, hold special significance in the more recent history of the orchestra.
With its dominant role at the Salzburg Festival, or with the New Year's Concert, the orchestra succeeds again and again in setting accents of incomparable individuality. In any case, the Wiener Philharmoniker strive to realize the motto Ludwig van Beethoven wrote at the start of his "Missa Solemnis": "From the heart - may it in turn go to the heart!"

dnsmasq provides services as a DNS cacher and a DHCP server. As a Domain Name Server (DNS), it can cache DNS queries to improve connection speed to previously visited sites. As a DHCP server, dnsmasq can be used to provide internal IP addresses and routes to computers on a LAN. Either or both of these services can be implemented. dnsmasq is considered to be lightweight and easy to configure; it is designed for personal computer use or for use on a network with less than 50 computers. It also comes with a PXE server.
- 1 Installing
- 2 DNS Cache Setup
- 3 DHCP Server Setup
- 4 Start the Daemon
- 5 Test
- 6 Tips
Install dnsmasq from the official repositories.
DNS Cache Setup
To set up dnsmasq as a DNS caching daemon on a single computer edit
/etc/dnsmasq.conf and uncomment the localhost listening address:
To use this computer to act as a default DNS specify the fixed IP address of the network:
listen-address=<192.168.1.1> # Example IP
DNS Addresses File
After configuring dnsmasq the DHCP client will need to prepend the localhost address to the known DNS addresses in
/etc/resolv.conf. This causes all queries to be sent to dnsmasq before trying to resolve them with an external DNS. After the DHCP client is configured the network will need to be restarted for changes to take effect.
dhcpcd has the ability to prepend or append nameservers to
/etc/resolv.conf by creating (or editing) the
/etc/resolv.conf.head and
/etc/resolv.conf.tail files respectively:
echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf.head
For dhclient, uncomment in
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
NetworkManager has the ability to start
dnsmasq from it's configuration file. Add the
dns=dnsmasq option to
NetworkManager.conf in the
[main] section and remove dnsmasq from loading at boot:
[main] plugins=keyfile dns=dnsmasq
Create a NetworkManager dnsmasq config directory if it doesn't exist:
mkdir /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d
Other methods
If using the dnsmasq daemon, then it is necessary to add the localhost address to
resolv.conf (which NetworkManager will be overriding).
Since the upgrade of NetworkManager to 0.7, Arch Linux now calls dhcpcd directly instead of the common default with dhclient. Because of the arguments set with dhcpcd, it no longer sources the
/etc/resolv.conf.head, and
/etc/resolv.conf.tail settings for insertion of name servers. Several options are available.
The first option would be to add a script to the NetworkManager dispatcher to prepend localhost to
#!/bin/bash # Prepend localhost to resolv.conf for dnsmasq if [[ ! $(grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/resolv.conf) ]]; then sed -i '1s|^|nameserver 127.0.0.1\n|' /etc/resolv.conf fi
and make it executable:
# chmod +x /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/localhost-prepend
The second option be to go into NetworkManagers' settings (usually by right-clicking the applet) and entering settings manually. Setting up will depending on the type of front-end used; the process usually involves right-clicking on the applet, editing (or creating) a profile, and then choosing DHCP type as 'Automatic (specify addresses).' The DNS addresses will need to be entered and are usually in this form:
127.0.0.1, DNS-server-one, ....
Lastly, NetworkManager with dhclient can be used (networkmanager-dhclientAUR).
Custom Configuration
As of NetworkManager 0.9.6, custom configurations can be created for dnsmasq by creating configuration files in
DHCP Server Setup
By default dnsmasq has the DHCP functionality turned off, if you want to use it you must turn it on in (
/etc/dnsmasq.conf). Here are the important settings:
# Only listen to routers' LAN NIC. Doing so opens up tcp/udp port 53 to # localhost and udp port 67 to world: interface=<LAN-NIC> # dnsmasq will open tcp/udp port 53 and udp port 67 to world to help with # dynamic interfaces (assigning dynamic ips). Dnsmasq will discard world # requests to them, but the paranoid might like to close them and let the # kernel handle them: bind-interfaces # Dynamic range of IPs to make available to LAN pc dhcp-range=192.168.111.50,192.168.111.100,12h # If you'd like to have dnsmasq assign static IPs, bind the LAN computer's # NIC MAC address: dhcp-host=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,192.168.111.50
Start the Daemon
To have dnsmasq to load upon startup, add it to the daemons array in
DAEMONS=(... dnsmasq network ...)
To stand dnsmasq immediately:
$ rc.d start dnsmasq
To have dnsmasq to load upon startup:
# systemctl enable dnsmasq
To stand dnsmasq immediately:
# systemctl start dnsmasq
To see if dnsmasq started properly, check the log; dnsmasq sends its messages to
/var/log/messages.log. The network will also need to be restarted so the the DHCP client can create a new
DNS Caching
To do a lookup speed test choose a website that has not been visited since dnsmasq has been started (
dig is part of the dnsutils package):
$ dig archlinux.org | grep "Query time"
Running the command again will use the cached DNS IP and result in a faster lookup time if dnsmasq is setup correctly.
DHCP Server
From a computer that is connected to the one with dnsmasq on it, configure it to use DHCP for automatic IP address assignment, then attempt to log into the network normally.
Prevent OpenDNS Redirecting Google Queries
To prevent OpenDNS from redirecting all Google queries to their own search server, add to
server=/www.google.com/<ISP DNS IP>
View leases
cat /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases

Patchwork Quilt series: Little Beech Tree pattern
Little Beech Tree pattern: part 25 of 25 in series
In the Denver Post, a beautiful series of patchwork designs, created to be sewn together on one quilt, was published in 1931. The designer was Ruby Short McKim (1891-1976), an artist trained at Parson's School of Design in New York. Her quilt patterns were hugely popular and she remains an American icon of the quilt world today. Her family generously republishes her designs so that quilters can continue to enjoy stitching them.
Every weekday for the next month or so, watch The Archive blog for one of Ruby McKim's patterns such as 'Cherry Basket,' 'Bear's Paw,' and 'Crazy Ann.' Make your own American classic. And tell your @beCraftsy friends all about it. Quilt patterns were meant to be shared!
Little Beech Tree pattern published December 27, 1931.
