Eczema can be a problematic skin condition. While not dangerous, living with eczema can be irritating, and many people find that their inflammation makes them far more uncomfortable in their daily life.
Studies have shown that emotional stress, like a stressful career or relationship, can actually make eczema worse. Anxiety is one of the most persistent causes of stress in a person's life, so those living with anxiety may be prone to constant eczema breakouts.
Reduce Anxiety - Reduce Eczema
If you're living with constant anxiety and stress, don't force yourself to manage through it any longer. Learn how to control anxiety by taking my free 7 minute anxiety test now.
Types of Anxiety and Stress Development
Anxiety is actually a natural process. It's your body's way of preparing for danger. Nearly every symptom of anxiety is directly related to someone that is supposed to keep you safe from harm. Make sure you take my anxiety test if you haven't yet to understand this even further.
When you're about to be faced with some type of danger, your body turns on everything it needs to protect itself. One of the things it turns on is cortisol - a stress hormone that plays a variety of functions in your body.
The Effects of Cortisol on Skin and Eczema
Despite its bad reputation, cortisol actually has some benefits. It's what helps trigger many of the necessary responses your body uses to combat dangers. But one of the effects it has is to suppress the immune system, and that leads to inflammation - especially on the skin.
It's possible that this inflammation can actually keep you safer in some way. But when you have anxiety, you're not reacting to danger - you're reacting to a disorder, so your fight or flight response stays active causing the skin to remain inflamed. For those without eczema, they may not even notice. But those with eczema find that the extra inflammation makes their anxiety considerably worse.
Other Effects of Anxiety and Eczema
While cortisol is the main culprit, there are actually several other links between anxiety and eczema. These include:
- Paying Attention to Itching When you have anxiety, it becomes much harder to ignore negative feelings, like itching and pain. People say that anxiety makes it harder to focus, but anxiety is actually very good at causing your mind to focus on negative things. When you focus on the itching and discomfort of your eczema, the itching tends to be worse, leading to more scratching and irritation.
- Sleep Loss Anxiety can also make it much harder to sleep. Studies have shown that sleeplessness seems to have an effect on your skin's ability to heal eczema problems. So if you're losing sleep because of your anxiety, you're likely to also experience worse eczema symptoms.
- Eczema Causing Anxiety We noted that anxiety causes you to pay more attention to things like eczema, and unfortunately one of the effects of that is that occasionally you may find that your eczema causes your more stress and anxiety, especially in public. Unfortunately, this can lead to the development of further eczema problems.
So in addition to cortisol increasing the effects of eczema when you're stressed, there are also several other issues at play that may also create an increase in your eczema symptoms.
Control Anxiety to Control Eczema
Eczema is rarely "caused" by anxiety, so relieving your anxiety is unlikely to make your eczema go away completely. But if you control your anxiety you should be able to decrease some of your symptoms, and since anxiety itself is already something that lowers your quality of life, that's generally a good motivation to make sure that you're actively working to decrease your overall anxiety levels.
You should start by simply caring about relaxation. Make sure that you're revolving your life around the idea that a stress free environment is better for your physical and mental health than a stressful environment. Cut out anything in your life that clearly causes you stress if you can, so that you're able to decrease unnecessary stressors. You should also consider all of the following:
- Exercise Exercise is extremely important. Research has showed two things - first, that those that don't exercise seem to have a profound increase in their anxiety, and second, exercise appears to create neurotransmitters and hormones that dramatically improve mood. Exercise should be your number one priority when it comes to altering your stress levels.
- Learn Relaxation Strategies When you're feeling stressed or tense, there are many relaxation strategies that can be helpful in overcoming that tension. One example is progressive muscle relaxation. Tense each muscle one at a time for 10 seconds, starting at the left foot and working your way up to the face.
- Eczema Safe Bath Long baths are actually spectacular relaxation tools. Of course, hot baths with drying soap can be problematic for your skin, so make sure that you're also taking precautions with the products you use to fill your bath. Use only lukewarm water as well.
These are just a few helpful strategies that can have a fairly profound effect on your ability to overcome anxiety. But they're only the first step. You'll still need to look at your symptoms and devise a long term strategy for anxiety reduction.

If you didn't know I liked you
You're pretty bright
You'll probably figure it out now
Or maybe you think I just like to
Dress up in white and throw bags of our parents' cash around
Did you know
I did not like you much
When we met
What was it? 8 years ago?
You and your friends you had this "we're too cool" attitude
But I must admit
I was quick to let that go
When you showed up in my doorway
Your wide brown eyes were simply fastened to your feet
You had one hand behind you, the other hand was holding out
My favorite sweet thing to eat
You said...
"I like you, I like you, could you maybe like me, too?"
I like you, I like you, could it really be that simple?
? Cause you know
That I'm just like you
I can get shy
Hell, I can shut down
But we're gathering up everything that scares us
We'll divide it by two and you'll see
There ain't nothing
We can't shut down
? Cause I like you, I like you, could you maybe like me, too?
I like you, I like you, could it really be that simple?
Later on when it's quiet
And everyone we love
Has made their way home
Yeah, I know we're gonna be tired
But at least I know
I'll finally be alone
With that boy
Who brought me ice cream
Just 8 years ago
You still make
Everything so sweet
And you paint your pretty pictures of everyone we know
And nearly everyone you meet
But they pale in comparison
Yeah they do
To your beauty and your grace
Yeah, I know this is embarrassing,
I can almost feel the heat
Rise to your face
? Cause you like me, you like me, you know you like me, too
Yeah, you like me,
And oh baby I love you
Could it really be that simple?

Marc Ormando, 47, of Pacifica pleaded no contest to one felony count each of possession of a destructive device and possession of an illegal explosive on the condition that he would serve no time in state prison and receive credit for time served. Ormando was jailed for 256 days.
Ormando reportedly had over 930 pounds of explosive materials, 732 "barrel bombs" and 44 pounds of black powder inside his home on Seaside Drive in Pacifica, where he lived with his two children, ages 7 and 10.
He originally faced five felony counts, including one for child endangerment.
Ormando and alleged accomplice Sean Patrick Gunther, 37, of San Pablo were arrested March 6 by San Francisco police. Ormando and the 37-year-old Gunther were arraigned in San Francisco on March 13.
An an undercover investigation in The City led to both men's identification and alleged activities, police said at the time.
Ormando's case was later transferred to San Mateo County.
Gunther remains in custody in San Francisco County Jail on $1.5 million bail and will return to court Aug. 6, according to Alex Bastain, a spokesman for the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. Gunther still faces charges of possession, transportation and sale of destructive devices and possession of methamphetamine.
Ormando originally served as his own counsel, but toward the end of his case he acquired an attorney, Wagstaffe said. As part of the plea deal, the child endangerment charge was dropped Friday along with two other felony counts.
During the course of the trial, an expert testified that while Ormando may have been in possession of a lot of explosive material, it wasn't quite as dangerous or powerful as was originally thought, Wagstaffe said. It was more like a "fireworks situation rather than a terrorist one," he said.
Ormando was released from jail Friday night, Wagstaffe said. He is required to pay $300 in restitution, an $80 court operations fine, a $60 criminal conviction fine and a $100 per month probation fee.

Voters may weigh parks tax
The Trails and Open Space Coalition is moving forward with plans for a special tax to fund parks maintenance across El Paso County. The project, once known as the Sustainable Parks Initiative and now called Great Parks-Great Communities, was a response to city cutbacks. TOSC hopes to ask voters for the tax increase — likely a two- or three-tenths-of-a-cent sales tax — on the November 2011 ballot.
But county leaders want TOSC to do more work first. Commissioner Darryl Glenn wants TOSC to help the county and municipalities pool resources and collaborate to save money. Bill Koerner, TOSC advocacy director, says he'll request a new committee at Thursday's joint city-county parks board meeting to do that.
Glenn also says he'd rather TOSC petition the tax question onto the ballot, instead of asking commissioners to refer it directly. It's unclear whether that's legally possible at the county level. Koerner says TOSC will likely conduct a petitioning effort, if only to show wary commissioners there is public support. "We feel that being very proactive with addressing the commissioners' concerns, we can get it referred onto the ballot," Koerner says. — JAS
Carson looks to get copters
Last Friday, word came from U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn that the Army's preferred site for a new Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) is Fort Carson, with the final recommendation expected within a month. The brigade would bring 2,700 troops and 120 helicopters to the post and require $224 million in construction next year for five buildings to support the new unit.
"As we have learned from Afghanistan and Iraq, training must take place in an environment that closely reflects conditions in theater," Lamborn said in a release. "This aviation brigade would help support the long-term viability of Fort Carson." He later told the Independent that while getting the unit funded might be tricky, "My sense is that the Army is committed and will make it work, even if other things have to be cut."
Local activist Bill Sulzman calls it "a jobs program" in politicians' eyes and believes the unit would have a dramatic impact on forest land where it would train. — PZ
CSBJ editor leaves paper
Allen Greenberg, editor of the Colorado Springs Business Journal, is no longer with the newspaper following the arrival last week of publisher Kathleen Gobos. Greenberg came to CSBJ a year ago after working at newspapers in Indianapolis, Charleston, S.C., and Philadelphia.
Mark Singletary, group publisher for Dolan Media Co., parent of the CSBJ, wouldn't explain Greenberg's exit. Asked who would be interim editor or Greenberg's replacement, Singletary replied, "That will be in the paper." It publishes on Friday.
Gobos, formerly associate publisher of Long Island Business News, will oversee Colorado Publishing Co., which includes the CSBJ, the Transcript (which publishes official notices from inside El Paso County) and three weekly newspapers published for the military.
The CSBJ's page count has declined over the past year, from a range of 36 to 48 pages down to last week's edition of 28 pages. In July, seven-year publisher Lon Matejczyk was fired unexpectedly. — PZ
New DD health center opens
Several community players have banded together to open the Developmental Disabilities Health Center at 2502 E. Pikes Peak Ave. The center was created to help adults with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, fetal-alcohol syndrome and other cognitive or intellectual disabilities. The center will serve as a primary health facility.
"Our most vulnerable citizens have historically had difficulty finding quality health care," says David Ervin, executive director of the Resource Exchange, one of the center's partner agencies. "This is an exciting collaboration of major health care organizations in the region coming together to offer customized health care delivery to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities."
The center is currently accepting only Medicaid-eligible patients. Other partners include Peak Vista Community Health Centers, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Colorado Springs and AspenPointe. — JAS
Weinstein targets Gazette
The Gazette got a wake-up call this week, and the threat of a lawsuit, when the lawyer for military religion watchdog Mikey Weinstein issued a warning over Wayne Laugesen's criticism of Weinstein in a Jan. 23 editorial.
At issue is Weinstein's push to stop retired Marine 1st Lt. Clebe McClary from speaking at a National Prayer Luncheon at the Air Force Academy on Feb. 10. McClary has said he serves "the Lord's Army," and that the USMC for him means U.S. Marines for Christ.
Weinstein filed a federal lawsuit to block McClary's participation, alleging it violates the Constitution's establishment of religion clause. Judge Christine M. Arguello was to make a ruling Wednesday.
Laugesen's editorial scolded Weinstein for attempting to infringe on free-speech rights, and said Weinstein opposed McClary's appearance "because he is Christian."
"That is false, and I have no doubt Mr. Laugesen and the Gazette know it full well," Dallas attorney Randal Mathis writes to publisher Steve Pope, adding that "publishing the statement is obviously calculated to offend, scare, and potentially mislead to the point of inciting unstable people." Mathis makes it clear his letter is a precursor to a lawsuit. Pope declined a request for comment. — PZ
Manitou eyes Tajine Alami
The city of Manitou Springs is using $12,300 from its defunct Economic Development Council for a feasibility and engineering study focusing on Tajine Alami, a large Moroccan restaurant east of Manitou's Memorial Park. The city has long been interested in the property, with 200 parking spaces, but has been unsure about what a good price might be, and how much it might cost to bring the property up to code.
If the town bought the property, it would likely use the lot for public parking, move the Manitou Chamber of Commerce into the building, and lease the rest of the building for shops, or maybe a brewery. The current city-owned property that the chamber occupies, at 354 Manitou Ave., could be sold, with the money put toward the purchase of the Tajine Alami building.
"I don't see any fatal flaws to pursuing this project," Mayor Marc Snyder says, "but we need to know what we're talking about in terms of money and feasibility." — JAS
Falcon teachers concerned
Overshadowed by the uncertain future of busing in Falcon School District 49 has been the school board's push to make D-49 a state-recognized "innovation school zone." The board voted unanimously to begin the transition, leading to buyouts of four top administrators, including Superintendent Bradley Schoeppey.
Concerned D-49 teachers have been distributing information about innovation zones, and one teacher's letter has caused alarm. It points to the Colorado Department of Education's 2010 annual report on innovation districts, focusing on Denver Public Schools, the state's only district designated for innovation.
The report says Denver's Manual High School was granted waivers from state law and policy, allowing elimination of tenure and seniority in favor of merit-based employment. Also alarming teachers is the possibility that D-49 could extend the school calendar, eliminate the pay scale and decrease salaries, relying more heavily on non-certified teaching staff. D-49's board meets at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. — CH
Charter-change issues OK'd
City Council voted Tuesday to put two questions on the April ballot altering the city charter. One will ask voters to change Council from four district and five at-large seats to six district and three at-large seats. The second would allow the new mayor to attend Council's executive sessions.
Both were proposed by Mayor Lionel Rivera to tweak the strong-mayor system approved by voters in November. — JAS
Sheriff shuffles staff
Personnel in the El Paso County Sheriff's Office are shuttling around in the wake of retirements.
William Mistretta, a commander in the jail and the longest currently serving sheriff's employee, will complete 37 years on Feb. 28, then retire March 1. No word on his replacement.
Meanwhile, Cmdr. Ken Moore, with 22 years of service, retired Jan. 31 from his slot in the patrol division. He's being replaced by Cmdr. Rob King, who was working in the jail. — PZ
Wadhams drops out of race
In a surprise move, state GOP chair Dick Wadhams ended his bid for another term Tuesday. Wadhams exit leaves state Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch as the front-runner.
Wadhams has told media he was frustrated by criticism of his handling of the party, and by "nuts who have no grasp of what the state party's role is." Wadhams went on to say that Colorado Republicans increasingly push for extremely conservative candidates. But extreme candidates can't pick up independent voters, and thus lose statewide elections, he said.
Wadhams was strongly criticized for the November election, which turned into a nightmare for Republicans, who lost the U.S. Senate race and the gubernatorial contest despite a nationwide Republican surge. Wadhams has not announced what his next career move will be. — JAS

Fresh after a successful limited overs campaign, the West Indies 'A' skipper Kieran Powell reminisces on the tour so far as a captain and player, the surprising crowds for the games, playing against the big names of Indian cricket and some more in an exclusive chat with cricbuzz.com
Can you tell us a bit about the team morale right now after the win?
The team morale is very good at the moment. Coming to India and winning in India is a very difficult thing, especially against this Indian team. We are very proud of it.
Did you have any special preparation before coming here to India?
There was no special preparation. As you'd know most of the guys were playing in the Caribbean Premier League. After that, we went back to our respective homes for one or two weeks. Then we gathered in Barbados and came straight here. There was no camp.
A lot of these youngsters have not toured India before but you have. Did they come and ask you about India? What did you tell them?
Well basically, all we told these guys was not to play any "names". Obviously, the Indians will have lots of guys who have played loads of cricket. We've been watching these guys even before we've started playing cricket. "Just go with them and just play positive cricket. Back yourself." Obviously, it's a new combination so we tried to assess conditions as soon as possible and learn as much as possible. Once we put in our 100%, we could be victorious and that actually happened.
What did you tell the guys after losing the first ODI?
Losing the first ODI was actually a blessing in disguise. We got to see the Indian players and how they play. We got a chance to actually have plans as a team for these guys and how to go about attacking these guys. Both batting and bowling. Obviously, no team likes to lose but it worked in our favour in terms of the overall series as well.
Can you give us an insight to any such plan/tactics that you came up with after the first ODI?
We did not have any specific plans for any individuals as such. We just wanted to change it up because we saw that if a bowler was given a long spell, with the quality of batsmen the Indians have, they were able to go after them and even hit them out of the park. We just wanted to mix it up. From the first game, we also saw the areas some of these guys liked to hit the balls. We watched them at the IPL and in this game. We tried to bowl the balls as much as possible in such a way that they score in areas we want them to and not in areas they wanted to.
Have these crowds that you've seen in Bangalore surprised you?
Yes. They've definitely surprised me. It's an 'A' team series and we weren't expecting such big crowds. We know that the Indian public is just crazy about cricket. They seemed to like the West Indian players as well. So it was a pleasant surprise for us.
How have you guys been handling the extra attention that has been coming your way?
The guys have been have been handling it well because even with the CPL we had big crowds coming in. All the Caribbean islands were sold out. So the guys had a feeling for that just prior to coming here. I think they'd be used to it by now.
So there could be a downside to all this extra attention too, right? With so many youngsters travelling they could become soft targets for nefarious people looking to exploit them. Have these guys had special counselling about this?
Every team member here knows that we have an absolute zero-tolerance policy to anything of that nature. As a team, obviously we've been away from home but we've been bonding well. We haven't really been out that much. We've just spent more time in each others rooms, get to know each other better because we're from different countries even though we play for the West Indies. Getting to appreciate your team mates, that's more sort of what we've been doing so far on this tour. We've just been relaxing, talking to the other guys, getting to know them well. Playing on the playstation and that sort of stuff.
Like you'd mentioned that you guys are from different countries. Do you have any team-building exercises? How difficult is this to manage as a captain?
I wouldn't say it's difficult. I've already played with some of these guys before and other guys, I would have seen them play at some point. I had a talk with these guys just before the series started. Just to get a feel of what they were looking for from them and how we could combine to get the best out of each individual. I found that we've been gelling well. Most of these guys have played in the home series against Sri Lanka A. I probably was the only guy not to play in that series. It was just me coming in and not a whole new group of guys.
How important are these A tours in terms of selection? We have the Caribbean Premier league, the Champions league and so many other tournaments that put you in the spotlight. So hypothetically if a player was pressed for choice, what would his response be?
As far as I see it, all three tournaments are very important. It's just a matter of where a guy gets an opportunity. Whether it is the Champions League, CPL or an A tour. It's a matter of each individual to grab their opportunity. Obviously, different guys will be looking to play different formats. Each of these is a global opportunity because you're playing against guys from different nations. You cannot really say one is more important than the other. Each of these opportunities is definitely a great learning experience.
Has this situation ever cropped up - the players having to chose between something like an A tour or the Champions League?
I'm not sure if that ever happened. If it has, I really don't know about it. So I cannot comment on that particular point.
On a similar note, these 'A' tours could be quite a challenge in terms of captaincy. You're leading a side full of individuals who are in one way competing against each other for a spot in the national team but you've got to play together. How do you, as a captain, deal with this?
Well we just try to instill in these guys that every individual has the ability to move on to the international level. It's just a matter of getting the international experience and exposure. Obviously, there is not much pressure on the 'A' tours. We try to play as a unit still. We don't try to make it about individuals. We make it about the West Indies 'A' team trying to win games for the West Indies region. So that's how we do it. We try and put the guys in the best situation for them to come up trumps for the team.
Can you elaborate a little more?
At the end of the day, you don't want people to be going out there and playing selfish cricket. Like you know - each individual trying to get a score but the team still losing. The selectors take a wider scope into the selection process. You know it's not all about just one guy scoring a hundred every game. It won't look good against a guy scoring a fifty but contributing to the team winning. Different guys will have different roles. The selectors will have a look at the scores but they will also have an eye out to see if this guy is ready for International cricket. Is he just playing for himself or is he playing for the team?
That's fair enough. You've been groomed for captaincy. What exactly have you gained personally as a captain from the limited overs leg of this tour?
Well as a captain it's been a fantastic experience to see like what the captains of the senior team have to do on a daily basis. It's made me more aware of situations as to what to expect, what other captains might be going through. It's not only about myself now. I learned about how to deal with players, how to deal with situations. It's made me read the game more. It's really been a wonderful personal experience for me. I've really enjoyed it.
How about your batting? There is this extra pressure of captaincy as well. How have you been balancing the two?
Well I've been speaking to the coaches. Obviously, I'm very new to captaincy at this level. It's just a matter of me balancing my batting with my captaincy, about not taking the pressure of captaincy when I play. It's a part and parcel of the game now. Sometimes you have a low run of scores. Obviously, this time my batting has not gone well but my captaincy went well. Sometimes the batting will go well but the captaincy won't. Sometimes they will all just click together. I'm learning a lot from this experience. Now I'm just looking forward to the 4-day games. Hopefully, with the relief from captaincy, the scores will come my way.
Kirk Edwards will be leading in the 4-day games. He performed brilliantly under you. He scored a crucial hundred to win you the series. How will you be supporting him?
I'll be willing to give him any bit of advice. Obviously, he's a more experienced captain than me but I've played more international cricket than him. I'm not afraid to approach him. I will also try and get some runs on the board to try and make his job as a captain easier.
You will obviously be trying to make a comeback into the national ODI squad. With that in mind, would you have been happier to have been just concentrating on your batting and not the captaincy on this tour. Would that have helped?
Actually no. I actually learned more and I've enjoyed it. Even if I didn't get the kind of scores that I was looking for, it's still been a very good tour for me personally because I'm coming to India and winning in India. Just that gives me great satisfaction, seeing guys coming out to perform the way they did. Jonathan Carter - we knew he had the ability but was not able to get the big scores. But here he has blossomed. I mean, that for me in itself has made up for not making runs.
Coming to the youngsters, Yuvraj Singh has said that he was very impressed with the likes of Beaton and Miguel Cummins. Do you see anyone being really special in your team?
There is NO doubt that along with those two and Sheldon Cottrell, who you didn't get to see - these guys are extremely talented, extremely quick bowlers. They will have a massive impact on West Indies cricket. Back in the Caribbean we are actually getting carried away a little bit. Anyway, these guys in particular will have a massive impact on the future, the next 15-20 years of West Indian cricket.
So you see that glorious tradition of Caribbean fast bowling returning?
Definitely. There are lots and lots and lots of young fast bowlers in the Caribbean right now. As we saw from Cummins, he's just an exceptional talent. We've seen Beaton. He is absolute quality. He did not get it right on this tour but he's very good as well. We have Sheldon Cottrell who has been injured. Absolute quality again and he adds variety in our attack. He's a left-arm seamer. He swings it back in and he's got genuine pace. You have got lots of talent there.
What are you looking for personally from the upcoming 4-day games?
Personally, I'm just looking to spend time in the middle. I'm not really worried about runs on the board. I just want to get in and bat a day. Bat two days. Who knows? However long the captain allows us to bat.
Do you enjoy doing that. Batting for two days or would you like it more if you get a quick fifty in a T20 game? Do you have any preference?
I think I'm a bit of a purist. So batting long hours it is for me. The longer, the better it is for me.
So you've played ODIs and T20s, now you'll be playing the 4-day games in a matter of weeks. How do you do the switch between formats. Is it a mental switch?
Being a professional now, this is what happens throughout the world. It's just part and parcel. You just learn to deal with it. You just keep recharging your mindset. It's batting regardless. Obviously, in Twenty20s and ODIs you'll have to be more expansive but in the longer formats you can just relax and bat. There's no pressure of scoring rate or anything. It's just for each guy to know their game and structure their innings I would say. It should be easy. Interesting that - mental switch as you said, it's not really a very difficult switch because you already know what you have to do in the longer versions of the game. It's not difficult or anything. You just have to adjust as quickly as possible. It's just about having a feel for the conditions again and enjoying it. Enjoy batting for long periods of the game.
The 4-day games will have even bigger Indian players coming in. That brings a lot more attention with it. How will you guys be handling it?
As you said, there are a few big names playing but as I said earlier on, we are not playing the names. We just want to play good cricket. Big names too get out in just one ball just like we do as well. Not really worried about anything. We just want to come there, enjoy playing and express ourselves.
Can that be done easily? Forgetting that you're playing against the big names. The crowd attention is bound to bring that back into our mind.
The guys seem to have done it well. We have planned it well for these guys as well. We have not really over-planned but we've planned well for them. The guys seem to be enjoying it. Obviously, playing against Sehwag and the likes of Gambhir will be a different challenge to playing against Yuvraj, who's a very good player. They are really two top quality players. Once you enjoy it and once you give your 100%, you can't do much. You can't worry about a guy having played around 100 Test matches or 50 matches. You just have to worry about that one ball that can get him out.

A new in vitro diagnostic test for prostate cancer may be on the way to replacing the traditional PSA test and perhaps some biopsy procedures. The test is known as EXO106, which focuses on identifying the novel 4 gene prostate cancer signature. Exosomes are substances within human cells carrying nucleic acids which are unique to specific diseases. By testing blood or urine, it can be determined if an exosome related to a specific disease is present. In addition, EXO106 may also be able to predict the severity of prostate cancer and how well the prostate cancer is responding to treatment.

Probably many people have heard the wonderful song "Smile," sung above by Judy Garland and done by many others (including Michael Buble'). It was written by Charlie Chaplin, who made quite a name for himself in silent movies.
"Smile, though your heart is aching …" is one of the lines. Many cleft and craniofacial families around the world may find, at times, it is tough to smile themselves. Even for those of us who have anomalies, finding space to crack a smile can be, well, difficult.
Now I know this is supposed to be all cheery and real-life stuff within the community here.
Sometimes, though, it is worth just taking a few minutes to have a song resonate so deeply.
Call me a little old fashioned when it comes to some of my musical tastes.
Give the song a listen … and let me know what resonates deep within you as you hear or even sing along.
You might even find yourself smiling at the end.

Facebook is continuing to expand its implementation of 3D Touch for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Starting now, some users will be able to use peek and pop to view stories and profiles.
Peek and pop is a part of 3D Touch that allows you to preview a piece of content without leaving your current activity. Lightly press on a Facebook story to peek at it, for instance, then press more firmly to pop into it. This new functionality will work across Facebook's app for links, profiles, Pages, Groups, Events, photos, profile pictures and cover photos. The company will also be adding another quick action to its app icon to take you directly to your timeline.
For now, Facebook will be rolling out peek and pop support to a small subset of users. More users will gain access to the feature over the coming months. Just make sure you have the latest version of the Facebook app installed so you can take advantage of this new feature when it arrives for you.

Looking over the headlines from today, one major thought kept coming into my mind: When did governments quit serving their people and start controlling them?
The Iranian government is still holding protesters arrested after the election dispute. Charles Taylor, the former Liberian president accused of atrocious war crimes denied everything at the International Criminal Court. I talked to a South Carolinian today who said their governor missed some very important meetings recently because he is taking time to reconcile with his wife for his unfaithfulness (while unemployment is soaring in SC). Coal companies benefit more from the climate bill that the House passed than the environment does.
So my question is again when did governments stop serving people? Even better, how did we let this happen?
After thinking about this, I realized maybe I was wrong. Maybe I misunderstood what government means. So I looked up the definition. And it focuses mostly on control, not service: "the political direction and control exercised over the actions of the members, citizens, or inhabitants of communities, societies, and states". I disagree.
Government is about service. It is about taking care of the people one is elected to represent. It is about representing them fairly.
Maybe I am too idealistic, maybe I am just a dreamer, but as John Lennon says: "I'm not the only one." Join us. Let's create a better world.

Why Christian Education?
The task of Christian Education is to see life from Gods perspective and direct the child's development towards Gods objective for man.
CHRISTIAN Education talks about a curriculum which: –
• is wholesome, lovely, and of good report (Philippians 4:8)
• sets our minds on things above (Colossians 3: 2)
• does not love the world (1 John 2: 15)
• brings in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6: 4)
• rejects profane blabbing and old wives tales (1 Timothy 4: 7)
• avoids opposition of science falsely so called (1 Timothy 6: 20)…culled from Christian Education Europe.

Ever wonder where that tiny little icon next to the address bar, or on the left side of a tab in a web browser comes from? This tiny image is known as a favicon. It allows websites to 'brand' their site in a web browser with their company logo or icon. You can easily add your own icon to your site made in EverWeb. This feature is available on the Site Publishing Settings page. Normally you would need to upload a 16×16 image labeled 'favicon.ico' but EverWeb takes care of all of this for you. Just select the image you want to use and publish your site. The video tutorial below will illustrate how to utilize this feature.
One of EverWeb's built-in widgets is the Image Slider. This widget allows you to create a slick looking slideshow on your website. Some people might use the image slider as a preview for a larger image gallery, or for other purposes such as a slideshow to show off their professional photographs. Whatever use you might have for the image slider, it is definitely a great addition to any website. EverWeb's image slider widget is highly customizable so making it fit the design of your site is rather easy.
Below is a video tutorial that will show you how to use the image slider widget. From EverWeb's latest major update (1.8) you can now make the image slider respond to the width of the browser. Let me know what you think of the image slider and what features you like/dislike or think needs to be added to it.
Make Your Own Website – Adding E-Commerce In EverWeb
As we have been discussing in previous posts, EverWeb is a new iWeb-like editor that will allow you to easily make your own website. As I was talking to some small business owners last week, I was astounded to hear how much money they were spending on their websites, and nearly none of them we're happy with the current site they had. It's times like that I think we are lucky that we all know about iWeb and now EverWeb. Thousands of dollars can be saved by doing it yourself, and you just can't put a price tag on having all the control over what gets done and how it gets done.
E-Commerce was a hot topic with iWeb, and this is no different with EverWeb. Luckily, adding e-commerce to an EverWeb made site is actually very easy to do using PayPal. All you will need is a free merchant account. You will be able to add Buy Now buttons, or even Add To Cart button's that will allow users to add multiple items to their shopping carts before checking out. This is extremely useful for those of you that sell multiple items on your website. You can also use PayPal for adding Donate buttons, as well as subscription based payments.
If you do not like the default buttons that come with PayPal, you can upload your own custom buttons while creating the button on PayPal.
Here is a video tutorial that will actually show you the process of setting up a basic add to cart button in PayPal. You may be surprised at just how easy it is.
If you have any comments or questions, please let me know. If there are any requests for similar third-party additions to your EverWeb site, leave a comment below and let me know. I hope everyone is having as much fun with EverWeb as I am.
MobileMe's days are numbered, and many of you have been inquiring about what will be happening to your website. Plain and simple, you need a new web host. My advice to you is don't procrastinate, get this done as soon as possible. You will be thankful you did later on. Here is a quick video tutorial that will show you how to transfer your site from MobileMe to a real web hosting company. If anyone has any further questions, just let me know and I will do my best to help out.
As we inch closer and closer to the final days of MobileMe, many iWeb users should now be looking for a real hosting company to host their websites for them. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to easily move your website from MobileMe to a real web host.
The first thing you will need to do is sign up for hosting. To do this, go to ragesw.com and click on Web Hosting. Then click on the Sign Up Now button. In this first step, you can either register a new domain name if you do not already have one, or you can transfer your domain over to RAGE Web Hosting. If you are not familiar with what a domain is, google.com, and apple.com are both domains.
So if you want to register a new domain, type in the name in the first box under the Register a new domain option. You can also select the extension for the domain by clicking on this drop down menu.
If you are transferring a domain, click on the second option to transfer existing domain to RAGE Web Hosting and type in your domain. When you are all done, click the Click to Continue button. You should see the domain you typed, and the Status reading Available. Then click the Click to Continue button.
On the next page, you will see some information about the services you will be getting. The drop down menu next to Billing Cycle will allow you to select how long you want to sign up to hosting for.
You can read through the remaining configurable options and check off anything else that you want to add to your order. When you are done, click on the Update Cart button.
On the next page, you will need to enter your EPP code. An EPP code, or authorization code, is a security code that verifies that you are the actual owner of the domain you are trying to transfer.
You can obtain this code by logging into your account where you purchased your domain from. You should be able to find the code by browsing around, or you can e-mail your current registrar and ask them to give you the code, and to also unlock your domain so you can transfer it.
Once you obtain the code, simply key it in and click on Update Cart. From there you will be able to checkout and order your hosting.
A few notes on some of the things I just mentioned. Firstly, I didn't show the process for people who are just buying a new domain. That is because it is very straight forward and you won't need any help with it. Second, if you are having trouble obtaining your EPP code, you can just e-mail RAGE Web Hosting and they will help you get it.
After you have signed up, you will receive your signup e-mails from RAGE Web Hosting. In one of those e-mails, you will see an e-mail that looks similar to this one. These are the FTP login details. All we need to do with these is plug them into the corresponding fields on the iWeb publish page. It's always a good idea to click the Test Connection button to ensure you copied and pasted everything correctly. If you transferred your domain, make sure to follow the instructions in the Domain Name Details section of the e-mail, as you will need to update your name servers to indicate that RAGE Web Hosting is hosting your site as well as housing it.
And that's it. Once you publish your site, you can then visit your website on your new web host.
After adding the attention bar on my site in July 2011 to show the article "iWeb and Beyond" I had a lot of people on the comments, forum, facebook, and Twitter requesting to post a tutorial on how to add an attention bar to their iWeb sites. So this tutorial is on how to do just that. First off let's explain what an attention bar could be used for. Of course I used it to on my site to get peoples attention and make sure a certain article I wrote got read. It's pretty hard to miss. You might also use it to let your viewers know that your site will be experiencing some matainance, or perhaps you have a big deal or sale on your site, or you could use it for advertising, or if you really just need to get your viewers attention. So there are some ideas for how you could use this.
Watch the video above the "How To" or you can view the text tutorial by going here. Below are the resources you'll need:

Thanks everyone and hope you had fun with this iWeb tip.
If you found this tutorial helpful, please consider donating as it takes a lot of time to put together these tips. Thanks much for visiting iWebUnlimited.com.
Are you hosting your iWeb site on your server? That means that you can't use the built in comments feature in iWeb. It only works if you have a MobileMe membership. Well here comes iWebUnlimited to the rescue. Now you can get comments into iWeb no matter who your hosting your website with. Just follow the steps in this video and your set!
If your doing the iFrame way use this code below to create a blank HTML page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title>Comments</title>

Edit: I'm leaving Jason's post below, but I wanted to show you guys a much much much easier way to add your meta tags to your iWeb website. I never recommend iWeb users to edit the HTML on their site. It's really not necessary, especially with the resources made available to us. So watch this video on how to add meta tags to your iWeb website. You'll also see how to add other items such as Title Tags, Alt Text, Meta Description, and codes for Google Analytics and Statcounter.com. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know!
Need a little more help in the search engine war with your iWeb site? Well this tutorial will show you how to add Meta Tags to your iWeb pages.
Highslide JS is a great way to get that ever so popular image zoom effect just like the fancy zoom post I've done in the past. The difference is, is that this one will give you the ability to zoom more than just images. Though FancyZoom is a bit more light weight, there are some great advantages to Highslide. This tutorial will need the use of an HTML editor like Coda, Espresso, Dreamweaver, even TextEdit. You'll also be using the tips page for the code reference and download which can be found here.
So your iWeb is getting pretty packed with pages and multiple sites and maybe even your band asked you to create a website for them and you don't want to combine it with all your personal webpage files in iWeb. How do you create a whole new iWeb file and jump back and forth between your sites. Well this video shows you all of that. You can have as many iWeb files as you'd like. iWeb has no file>open option so learning this trick will help you make multiple sites and be able to jump between them as you please.
For OS X Lion Users
If you've install OS X Lion on your mac then you'll need to do this a bit differently. Simply download my application below and every time you launch it Lion will ask you to choose your iWeb domain file that you want to open. Enjoy!
FancyZoom in iWeb, huh? What's that. Well there are a many websites these days that have that popular image zoom effect so that when you click on the image it animates the photo larger. Well many have asked, how can I do that with iWeb? Well here it is, this is the tutorial to show you just how to do that. Keep in mind this one is a bit more complex, but it can be done without getting your hands to dirty in code.
Trying to get flash video into iWeb eh? You can't bring it in like you do a regular flash .swf file. Flash video extension is .flv and it can't work without some sort of .swf player to go with it. This video shows you some tricks to get flash video into iWeb. There are quite a few different options and this tutorial will show you how to get your flash video in iWeb in many different ways.
Here are the steps below:
Step 1:
Get video you desire to be a flash video and convert it to .flv format if it's not already.
How do I convert my video to flash video you ask?
Well there are a number of different ways. You are going to need one of these converter below:
- Adobe Media Converter (comes with CS4 or Flash Video Encoder from CS3)
- Visual Hub (no longer in development, but if you got it while it was out, lucky you)
- Aimersoft Video Converter ($65)
- Perian QuickTime Plug-In + QuickTime Pro (Perian is free, QuickTime Pro is $29)
- SoThink FLV Converter ($45)
- FFMpegX (Free, but it requires some external file installations, they make it a little difficult to get, so here it is made easy by me. Click here to download the app and here to download the extra files. Your welcome ;-). You can get instructions and more info on the software here. After you open the .dmg file and drap application to your app folder and launch the app it will ask you to locate 3 files to add onto it. They are the ones I provided. I would recommend moving them to home folder/library/application support/ffmpegx (you'll make this folder)/put 3 files here that were in the .zip folder here. Then in the FFMpegX App you'll know where to find the 3 files to install and they'll be in a safe place where no one will touch them. Hope that makes sense. If it sounds to complex, just go buy one of the other converters above to make life easier for you.)
Which ever converter you use, just convert that video file to a .flv format. So in a nutshell, step one is convert video to .flv
Step 2:
Download the Longtail Video JW player by clicking here»
You'll be downloading a .zip file. Double-click to open and inside you will see 2 files; one called "player.swf" and the other "swfobject.js". We will need these files to make this work. So now we should have a total of three files
- Our .flv flash video we converted in step one
- player.swf file
- swfobject.js file
We just need to do one more thing and we're ready to roll
Step 3:
We'll need to have an image that will sit there until the user decides to click play. So just export out a frame of your video.
It might be easier to go back to your original video to export out the frame. You can do this in QuickTime pro, iMovie, Final Cut, and many other apps. Or if you want to make it simple, just play your video, stop it on a frame that you would like to be your hold image and do a screen shot. You can do a screen shot by pressing "command + shift + 4" on your mac, then draw a box around the frame of video your holding on. When you let go you'll have a new .png still frame on your desktop. We are going to use this to be the video preview.
You should now have four files. Fyew. These are all the files we need and we are ready to roll. So we should have these four files
- Flash Video (our .flv video we converted in step one)
- "player.swf" (file we downloaded in step 2)
- "swfobject.js" (file we downloaded in step3)
- Preview image (file we created in this step. You should name it preview.png)
For file size reasons you may want to open that image you created in step 3 in the application "Preview" and choose file>save as and save it as a jpeg image and bring the image quality down a bit so that the file loads quickly on the web. Just a suggestion, if you have photoshop you could choose file>save for web and size it down that way too. You can use a .png file or a .jpeg file for this
Now put those four files (.flv, .swf, .js,(.png or .jpeg)) onto the server, meaning your iDisk or your own ftp server. If your using MobileMe I'd recommend making a folder called flash in this location: iDisk/Web/Sites/flash/put 4 files here. Just make sure you have these 4 files on your iDisk or server all all will be well.
Step 5:
Almost done. All we need to do now is use the below code in an html snippet and replace the items in red with our own server path names.

This text will be replaced

Just replace the items in red with the path that goes to your files on the iDisk replacing the appropriate names to point to the right place. So be sure to put in your MobileMe username and your correct flash video name (yourflashvideo.flv) and your preview image (myimage.jpeg or myimage.png). Also be sure to adjust the width and height of your video with the 2 numbers that are red in the code. Once it's all updated and you have all your links pointing to the right spot, hit "apply".
We now have flash video in iWeb successfully! Yay!
Hope it wasn't too complicated for ya. Just do it a couple times and you'll have it down in no time. There is a video I made that will walk you through this too if you'd rather look at that. Just got the Video Tutorials section and it's all about flash video.
Note: You can use Longtail Video JW Player on your site for free as long as your not selling anything, have ads on your site, etc. If you are doing those things you need to purchase a license. It's €30 (Euro) which is about $41 dollars. You can purchase a license here»
More Notes:
If your wanting to customize the JW player, they have a nifty little embed code creator that you can tell it what paramaters you want to be set. Click here to go to it.

During two events spread over six hours, Broward, Palm Beach and Dade counties will try this week to put aside the parochialism that often divides these populous, powerful areas.
Wednesday, ``The First Annual South Floria Regional Summit Conference,`` hosted by the South Florida Coordinating Council, brings together business leaders and public officials involved in county and state government, education, water management and planning.
The event at the Marriott Harbor Beach Hotel in Fort Lauderdale kicks off with a 9 a.m. speech by Gov. Bob Graham.
Saturday, the three counties` legislative delegations will huddle for a discussion on working together in the April-May legislative session. They will meet at the Holiday Inn on Powerline Road in Fort Lauderdale from noon to 3 p.m.
As always, when tri-county cooperation is hauled up the flagpole, everybody salutes. Yet there also is acknowledgement of the here-today, gone-tomorrow tendency of regional politicking.
Even the smallest details show how easily coalitions can collapse.
For instance, both Rep. Bill Clark, D-Lauderdale Lakes, chairman of the Broward Legislative Delegation, and Sen. William ``Doc`` Myers, R-Hobe Sound, chairman of the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation, take credit for the idea of Saturday`s meeting.
Both Myers and Clark say they cannot attend the meetingbecause the council didn`t consult with them before setting it at a time that conflicts with their schedules.
``Based on the problems we have now mutually, there might be some room for agreement,`` said Meyers, who hopes the talk centers on growth management, education funding and transportation. But he added hastily, ``Whether anything will come of it, we`ll have to wait and see, because unfortunately we do get provincial.``

Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is a systemic disorder whose pathogenesis is based on the presence of serum cryoglobulins.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate on a prospective basis patients presenting with MC with regard to the clinical manifestations and the underlying disorders.
We present ten patients with MC, who were diagnosed and followed up during a one year period in the Division of autoimmune rheumatic diseases (Clinical Department of Pathophysiology).
MC was associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in two cases, with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in six, one patient had both HCV and evidence of HBV infection, while the remaining three patients fulfilled European classification criteria for diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS).
In all ten cases, the presence of an underlying factor was identified, being either viral or autoimmune.
It is concluded therefore that all patients presenting with MC should be completely evaluated for a hepatitis virus infection or an autoimmune or lymphoproliferative disorder.
Furthermore, since the initiation of the process of MC is triggered by many factors, research should be directed towards the identification of the underlying common denominator.

Specifying memory constraints for grails application on cloudfoundry
If you have tried to use the Cloudfoundry plugin to deploy a grails application to Cloudfoundry.com you would use the following command: grails prod cf-push After answering yes to all the questions you might see a deployment error due to memory constraints. And a request to delete the application Should I delete the Application? You should answer no, leaving the application that failed to start still on cloudfoundry. Then specify environment variables to stipulate memory constraints like so: grails cf-env-add JAVA_OPTS "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled" Cloudfoundry will automatically attempt to restart the application after the addition of the environmental variable. That should be it! Your grails app should be live on Cloudfoundry! If you want to see what variables are registered for your application just rungrails cf-envNote: you can also update the allocated memory of your application. Just use the following vmc command:vmc mem $appName

SEO for Beginners: Improving Site Speed
Portent Team May 7 2013
Update! Learn the ins and outs of a faster site in our Ultimate Guide to Site Speed
We write about a lot of fancy stuff on the Portent blog, such as server log analysis, advanced keyword research, and Tom Cruise.
I want to address something that doesn't have to be fancy: site speed. We've written two posts on how we configured Portent's site: one is pretty advanced and the other is blindingly technical. They're awesome, but what if you're a small business owner without a geeky CEO or talented developer at your beck and call?
When talking to clients, I noticed that many conversations went something like this:
ME: HTTP compression is a breeze. Just have your dev team…
CLIENT: What is this "dev team" you speak of?
Even though Google's PageSpeed Insights spits out a handy report, it doesn't always translate to actionable recommendations for the beginner webmaster that updates a site on his or her own.
I'll explain four simple ways to speed up your site without the help of IT support.
Image Optimization
Plan and simple: the smaller the file, the less time it will take for the browser to download and present it to the user. Images can be huge, so optimizing them is an easy place to start.
How to implement:
- Use software like GIMP to crop your images to the correct size for their particular application.
- Save it as the correct file type, which will likely be PNG or JPG.
- Compress it. You can use tools like jpegtran or PNGOUT; however, if you fear the command prompt, just use the compressed images Google provides in the PageSpeed Insights report. Click "See optimized content," save the image, then replace your old, frumpy images with their slimmer counterparts.
Minifying a resource—be it a CSS, JavaScript, or HTML file—is simply the process of removing spaces, comments, tabs, and other unnecessary code in the file.
How to implement:
- There are many tools available for minification. Use Google's Closure Compiler for JavaScript, YUI Compressor for CSS, and an HTML minifier for HTML. Again, it's easiest to simply download the minified versions of the files PageSpeed Insights provides.
- If you're running WordPress, you can take advantage of the minification settings in the W3 Total Cache plugin.
Compressing files also makes them smaller. Now that your site's CSS, JS, and HTML are free of unnecessary code, compression is like putting them into a .zip folder. Most popular web servers have the ability to send the browser a compressed version of a file so it saves time loading the page. How to implement:
- If you're using IIS, compression can easily be configured in IIS Manager; here are instructions from Microsoft.
- For Apache servers, you can utilize gzip encoding by adding a few lines to your .htaccess file.
- First of all, messing up your .htaccess file can have devastating effects for your site if it's not done correctly, so always have a working copy and edit with care.
- The .htaccess file lives in the root directory of your site and you can download it with your FTP client and edit it as you would any other text file. Your hosting provider might also give you access to it in your control panel.
- Add the following lines of code to the file:
<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
When the browser tells the server it accepts compressed resources (excluding images), the above text tells the server to encode the content in a compressed format (gzip) and send the browser the smaller version of the file. Everyone is happy: the server, the browser, and the user.
- If you're running WordPress and don't want to get your hands dirty, I recommend using the WP .htacess Control plugin and enabling mod_gzip in the settings, which will add the relevant code to your .htaccess file for you.
Browsers are lazy and they don't like to re-download files to render a site that it's already seen before. So, it caches a lot of these files—images, CSS files, scripts—on the user's hard drive in order to speed up the process of showing you a web page. Since files like your logo don't change very often, you can instruct the browser to load the cached version so it doesn't have to download the same image again from the server. We'll do this by setting the expiration date for static resources up to a year in advance.
- In IIS, you can enable caching with the IIS Manager. Here's a tutorial from Brad Kingsley.
- In Apache, add the following lines to enable mod_expiresthe .htacess file:
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault A0
Then, define the file types it will affect:
Finally, set the time in the future it will expire:
ExpiresDefault A29030400
The time is defined in seconds, so these files are set to expire a year in advance. AskApache offers a neat .htacess time cheatsheet if you hate counting.
- Again, if you're using WordPress, I recommend W3 Total Cache. Just check the box next to "Browser Caching" in the settings menu and you're good to go.
There are a bunch more ways to speed up your site, and many more resources than I have the space to list, but hopefully this will help get you started on your metaphorical journey to a faster site.
What are your favorite site speed optimization tips? Let me know in the comments!

Are you comfortable using the W3 Total Cache plugin since the 0.9.2.9 update? I've heard some folks say they're still concerned. Not sure if the worry is justified or just paranoia.
Also try google page modpseed as a apache add on or try google page speed as a service, (its free in beta though likely to cost at some point)
Awesome write up! I usually just use W3 Total Cache, but it has been causing me problems lately.
W3 Total Cache also includes options for code compression.
WordPress users can also use the WP Smush.it Plugin, that automatically compresses images on upload. The plugin uses the Yahoo! Smush.it, a web tool that's also a nice alternative for people that are manually compressing images and that don't like the command prompt.
I use WP Super Cache. There was supposed to be some security issue with it but I never had any problem, since updated anyway.
Super Cache issues were reported at the end of April, and affected version 1.2 and below. Anything above 1.3 is now supposed to be OK.

I enjoy working in small animal emergency and critical care for so many reasons, but ultimately to help pets who really do need more intensive care. I feel we can provide the next level of treatments for those patients that require 24 hour hospitalized care, or even emergency surgery. In the past, these pets would have to be at home until their veterinarian is available the next day or Monday morning after a weekend. We are fortunate to work in a community of veterinarians that see us as a collaborative partner in the care of their patients.

Patton Kizzire claimed his first career PGA Tour title Sunday, winning the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in Mexico.
Kizzire fired a final-round 67 to finish at 19-under par for the week, holding off a late charge by Rickie Fowler to win by one shot.
"It was pretty nerve-wracking, but I felt good," Kizzire told the Golf Channel. "I've been in some pretty tough spots before, and I drew on those experiences. It means a lot. I'm pretty excited right now, pretty emotional, and I was glad to get it done."
Fowler grabbed a solo second finish in his 2017-18 PGA Tour debut with rounds of 65-67-67-67, while Si Woo Kim finished in third place, which was his first top-10 result since winning THE PLAYERS in May.
Charles Howell III and Martin Pillar shared fourth position at 14-under par.
The win earns Kizzire invitations for the first time to Sentry Tournament of Champions and The Masters.

A lithotripsy procedure involves using shock waves to break up problematic kidney stones into smaller pieces, allowing the patient to excrete the stones through urination, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Lithotripsy is a nonsurgical procedure.
Before conducting a lithotripsy, the doctor ensures that the patient wears appropriate clothing that does not cause issues with the procedure, explains Johns Hopkins Medicine. The patient may receive anesthetics and sedatives. During the procedure, the doctor places the patient on a water-filled cushion or in a water-filled tub. He detects the location of the kidney stone and adjusts the position of the patient, if necessary, to enable better access for treating the stone. He sends the shock waves through the patient's body to break the stone into tiny fragments. The patient may feel a tapping sensation at this time. The doctor may insert a tube to help facilitate the passing of the stone fragments, and he may provide the patient with antibiotics.
A lithotripsy procedure takes approximately an hour to perform, reports MedlinePlus. The patient proceeds to the recovery room after the procedure to receive care and observation, and he may be able to return home on the same day. Potential complications of lithotripsy include bleeding, infection, stomach ulcers and impaired kidney function. The stone fragments may cause a blockage, or they may require more treatment in order to pass successfully. However, the procedure is generally safe and effective.
