With the arrival of colder weather, there is an increase of fuel-burning appliances being used in the home. These appliances include furnaces, ovens, space heaters, generators, indoor grills, and fireplaces, and they can cause dangerous levels of carbon monoxide to build up in the home.
According to a study from 2004 to 2006, children younger than 5 years old have the highest estimated rate of CO-related visits to the emergency room each year among all age group in the United. Nationally more than 25 children die from CO poisoning every year. In Kansas, over 500 people have been hospitalized and four people have died from CO poisoning over the past 10 years.
Important safety tips to protect families from CO poisoning:
- Prevent CO buildup in the first place — make sure heating appliances are in good working order and used only in well-ventilated areas.
- Do not run a car engine in the garage, even with the garage doors open. If you need to warm up your vehicle do it outside first.
- Install a CO alarm outside every sleeping area, on every level of your home and at least 15 feet away from every fuel-burning appliance. When you check your smoke alarm batteries each month, check the batteries on your CO alarms at the same time — and replace the batteries twice a year.
- Never use an oven for heating.
- Portable generators must be used outside for proper ventilation. They cannot be used indoors or inside of a garage.
- Have all gas, oil, or coal burning appliances inspected by a technician every year to ensure they are working correctly and are properly ventilated.

Blueberry Yogurt
11.01.09 by Jackie
We've been trying to eat healthier, so I've started serving blueberry yogurt to Lulu as a late night snack instead of one of my decadent desserts. Blueberries are delicious and packed with antioxidants. Many studies have concluded that a diet high in antioxidant foods prevents heart disease, cancer and reduces blood pressure. I typically serve the yogurt with unsweetened green tea (another antioxidant) mixed with vanilla soy milk.

Overweight or
obesity in children is a serious health concern. Overweight children are more likely to have
high cholesterol,
high blood pressure, and
type 2 diabetes. They also may deal with social discrimination from their peers, which can lead to poor self-esteem and
depression. What's more, overweight kids have a higher chance of becoming overweight or obese adults.
But what does this mean? How do you know if your child is overweight? The best way to find out is to schedule a visit with your child's doctor, who can tell you if your child's weight is in a healthy range. But if you are concerned that your child may be overweight, there are some other ways you can assess your child's weight.
The doctor will likely measure your child's height and weight to monitor growth patterns during regular appointments. Most doctors use clinical growth charts to do this.
The doctor will use your child's height and weight to determine what percentile your child falls into according to an age- and gender-appropriate growth chart. A percentile will tell you how your child's height and weight compare to a nationally representative group of children of the same age and gender. For example, if your child falls into the 70th percentile for weight, approximately 70% of children your child's age and gender are at a lower weight than your child.
Clinical growth charts can be accessed at the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
For children aged 2-20, BMI (body mass index)-for-age charts are a way to assess their weight in relation to their height. Since childrens' and teens' body fatness changes as they grow, the cutoff points that adults use for BMI are not applicable to children. Instead, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed charts for assessing children's BMI according to their age and gender. Like clinical growth charts, BMI-for-age charts indicate which percentile your child falls into.
BMI-for-age growth charts can be accessed at the
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention a...Health Promotion
The CDC has established percentile cutoff points to help doctors and parents determine whether a child is of a healthy weight. Body composition (percentage of muscle and fat) can influence these numbers, but for most children, the following cutoff points apply accurately to children aged 2-20:
If your child is overweight, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests you do the following:

Recipes can be rather imprecise: a dab of butter, a pinch of salt. But Johns Hopkins engineering students recently learned that maintaining rigid control of cooking temperatures, with less than 1 degree of wiggle-room, can lead to much tastier meals. Oddly enough, their cooking experiments occurred in an undergraduate course called Robot Sensors and Actuators.

We got creative this Sunday. Chalk it up to the long weekend.
Well, that and the leftover pizza dough sitting in the refrigerator. I put two and two together and got… breakfast pizza.
Let me just say, genius moment!
Where's the recipe you ask? Yeah, there really isn't one.
Here's the gist – we sauteed some onions, red peppers and spinach. We topped the dough with the sauteed veggies, liberally sprinkled goat cheese and then (gently, now) cracked the eggs on top. Baked the pizza at 500℉ for 8 to 10 minutes. Voila.
Skeptical? So was Mom. But not anymore.
Also, please do not mind the slightly over cooked egg yolk. That's what happens when the shelf is on the top rack in the oven and your forget to move it before the oven gets to 500℉. Oops! And that cantaloupe you see next to the pizza – seriously the best cantaloupe I've ever had. Hands down.
It still didn't beat our breakfast pizza, though. I say again… genius moment.

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD) released the following statement today after the House Armed Services Committee called this week for members of the military to receive a pay raise of 2.7 percent in 2007, which is higher than the 2.2 percent raise the Bush Administration requested in its FY07 budget proposal in February for both military and civilian employees:
"I applaud the House Armed Services Committee for calling for a 2.7 percent pay raise in 2007 for the military, up from the 2.2 percent raise proposed by President Bush in his budget. The United States depends on the brave men and women of our armed forces to protect our nation's liberty and prosperity and during a time of war their sacrifices for that cause are even greater. One of the ways to recognize this sacrifice is through fair pay.
"The 2.7 percent pay adjustment should also extend to federal civilian employees following the long-standing bipartisan principle of pay parity. The Bush Administration implicitly endorsed the concept of pay parity for military and civilian employees in its FY07 budget proposal. Civilian employees perform a vital role in our national security, as well as provide other important services for American families, and deserve a fair pay adjustment.
"As in past years, I will lead the effort this year to ensure pay parity for federal civilian employees. The Appropriations Committee will begin their work next month and I will use my position on that Committee to work with its Members to provide a fair pay adjustment for federal employees in recognition of their contributions to our country."

Subscribe To Will Jennifer Aniston Join Courtney Cox In Scream 4? Updates
I've already subscribed
Before Courteney Cox successfully resurrected her her post-Friends career with Cougar Town, she worked on the short-lived drama series Dirt. Constantly battling low-ratings, they decided to get Jennifer Aniston to make a guest appearance in the first season finale, where the two actresses shared a completely over-hyped kiss. It was the only time they had shared screen-time together since the end of the show that made them both famous, but now it looks like they may be reunited again. Just don't expect to see them having much interaction with each other.
Star Magazine reports that Aniston may be joining the cast of Scream 4. Seen with Cox at the Crystal + Lucy Awards where the magazine got the scoop, the actress formally known as Rachel Green will be the opening scene victim, following in the footsteps of Drew Barrymore, Omar Epps and Liev Schreiber. According to an "insider," (not specified inside of what) "Scream has always been an important part of Courteney's life, and she wanted Jennifer to be a part of the production."
Much like any story that comes out of the British tabloids, feel free to take this announcement with a grain of salt. Star is primarily known as a gossip magazine and considering the report doesn't name the source nor give context for how they got the information, it's highly suspect. Frankly, though, the choice would actually make some sense, as the Ghostface killer is obviously not limiting himself to teenagers anymore if he is still after Sidney Prescott some ten years later. Should it be true, you can be sure that Gale Weathers will be the first to report on the scene.

Flash Player Installer Updated
Those of you who use a screen reader on Windows will by now be well aware of issues with the main Flash Player installer that resulted in screen reader users needing to rely on an alternate installer. Users could find buttons marked Q or I, but no other information was read out.
We can with a great deal of relief report that the latest Flash Player installer, 11.3, released on July 11th, restores accessibility support on Windows. Additionally, the Flash Player installer has added support for unassisted updates. Now you can select an option that will silently update your Flash Player version automatically, without encountering another installer dialog.
Not all of the interface is perfect, as we recognize, and we encourage users to report bugs that they find via our site at http://bugs.adobe.com. We are also continuing to press for improvements on Mac OS X, as well as working on other ways to make the installation and configuration processes easier to use. For example, Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome, and the we're beginning to offer OS-level settings management for the player (see the Flash player settings control panel on Windows. With these updates, we hope installations and use will become easier in the future.

Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan starrer Bang Bang's shoot cancelled in Kashmir
The aftermath of the execution of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru has impacted recently revived Bollywood's tryst with the Kashmir Valley. The shooting of upcoming flick 'Bang Bang' starring Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif has been shelved after the crew expressed apprehensions about security.bollywood Updated: Mar 21, 2013 14:35 IST
The aftermath of the execution of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru has impacted recently revived Bollywood's tryst with the Kashmir Valley. The shooting of upcoming flick 'Bang Bang' starring Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif has been shelved after the crew expressed apprehensions about security.
Filmmaker Siddharth Anand was scheduled to shoot at snow-covered hill station of Gulmarg, 55 km north of Srinagar, from March 16. "Krithik and Kaif and other cast members refused to fly down to Srinagar because of the prevalent situation," a crew member camping in Gulmarg for the shooting told the Hindustan Times on the condition of anonymity.Ashutosh, assistant director, casting, was camping at Gulmarg's Heaven Resorts to be joined by the director and the cast. However, on March 15 the scheduled shoot was cancelled at the last moment. Sources said the leading stars too have expressed concern over security.
The Kashmir Valley is witnessing more than a month-long street agitation and, of late, a suicide attack after three years, in the wake of Guru's execution on February 9. The recent attack on the CRPF occurred on the highway connecting the Srinagar airport with Gulmarg.
Filmmaker Anand's assistants had done recce of locations in the Valley last year. There was an audition for local cast in February only. The 45-day scheduled shooting in Kashmir had two songs in Gulmarg and Pahalgam. Besides, a fighting sequence on Dal lake. A 40-member crew from America was scheduled to help in the fight sequence. Sources said 40% of the movie would have been shot inside the Valley.
Filmmaker Anand is keen to go ahead with the shooting "Once the situation normalizes," despite reservations by the production house, Fox Movies.
Kashmir revived its lost Bollywood link in the past four years after healthy improvement in tourism, which attracted on an average 10 lakh tourists per year.
Director Rahul Dholakia's 'Lamhaa' was first movie to break the ice and shoot the entire film in Kashmir Valley in 2009. Last year, Yash Chopra revisited the Valley after decades to shoot "Jab Tak Hai Jaan," starring Shahrukh Khan.
Director Imtiyaz Ali was charmed by Kashmir locations to shoot a song of 'Rockstar' in Pahalgam. Around a half dozen film crew from big productions visited the valley last year.
Guru's hanging has come as a major jolt for the winter tourism. "We lost more than 250 nights' bookings since Guru's hanging. Gulmarg is a winter destination and the season was doing good till the hanging. Since then the bookings dipped sharply," said Jehangeer Ahmad, manager of hi-end hotel Gulmarg Vintage.
Sharat Dhall, president, Online, Yatra.com, too has painted a grim picture for upcoming summer tourism. "Early bookings to Kashmir were showing robust growth but in the last few weeks the momentum has come down. If the tensions continue it would spell bad news for the summer travel in Kashmir," said Dhall.

Dinner: It's my favorite time of the day, even when it's not. We try to protect this time, even when we have to force the quiet, the togetherness, the pause. It's dinner time at our house. I've written about it before: the craziness and the routine, but I wanted to share some ways to gets your kids talking.
[Now, just to disclose, my kids never have a problem with talking, the always have to plenty to say. But sometimes I have a hard time getting them to open up about the right things.]
So, we ask questions. It's simple really. My youngest has coined the term: Remembories (which is just a fancy preschool way of saying remembering memories).
Kids love to remember memories about themselves and it turns out it's a great way to get them talking!
Ask, listen & connect.
Here's some to get your started:
- What's your favorite memory of you?
- When did you start walking?
- How much did you weigh at birth?
- If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
- What do you like best about yourself?
Your room:
- What's your favorite memory in your room?
- What do you love most about your room? the least?
- What would you change about your room?
The yard:
- The best thing we've ever played in our yard?
- What do you love most about it? the least?
- If you could add one big thing to our yard, what would it be?
- What's your favorite memory of school?
- What do you love most now? dislike the most now?
- What is the best grade you've had?
- What grade do you look the most forward to?
- What's your favorite memory of something we've done together?
- What do you want to do as a family someday?
- Do you ever wish we had more/less kids?
- What would you keep the same/change about our family?
- What's the best memory you have with a friend?
- Name some of your favorite friends. Why?
- Do you wish you had more/less/better friends?
- Do you make friends easy or hard. Why?
- What's your best memory of church?
- Do you think God talks to you? How?
- What would you tell God if He were sitting at dinner with us?
- Do you think all people should know about Jesus?
The World:
- Where do you dream of going someday? Why?
- What kind of language would you like to learn?
- How do you think people live in other countries? Like us or different
- If you could give people in another country one thing, what would it be?

Following the treatment cascade's estimations, about two-thirds of people living with HIV are connected to HIV care after their diagnosis -- but only a little more than a third of HIV-positive people stay in care. In this article, Ed Perlmutter describes the sort of attentive, thorough care he received, which helped him stay connected to his providers and navigate starting HIV meds.
Regarding HIV clinical care, my friend James always says, "stay close to the center of the merry-go-round." And it's great advice. Stay close to the center and gravity keeps you balanced and secure, in the right spot, even though you're spinning fast, round and round. Shift out from the center and all bets are off. For the past six and one-half years, I've had my ass firmly planted at the center of the merry-go-round, right where I need to be. And I've been holding onto that spot for dear life, and there I've received the best HIV clinical care I could possibly imagine.
I had a full-blown case of AIDS by the time I was diagnosed with HIV in July 2006, but that's another story. In the two months leading up to starting HIV treatment in mid-September of that year, I felt like the walking dead. Yet I tried to maintain some sense of normalcy, and would slog to work each day and slog back home, so extraordinarily fatigued I could barely move from the sofa, where most nights I would sleep, waking in a pool of sweat. At diagnosis, my CD4 count hovered around 50, and my viral load kept increasing exponentially (on September 14, 2006, my viral load was well over two million copies).
Timing, as we know, is everything. Bad timing and bad decisions and bad choices led me to seroconvert and to accept HIV as part of my life. Dr. F., the primary care physician who ultimately suggested an HIV test and delivered the news, also worked with me in those early weeks after diagnosis to get me under the cover of an umbrella of care. And this is where good timing so beautifully came into play, fortuitous timing indeed, and it can be said that in those days I got my first nudge to the best seat on the merry-go-round.
Dr. F. knew of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) drug study for adults infected with HIV, and the Boston-based portion of the study was set to commence that fall. And so within several weeks I began an intense round of study qualification diagnostic testing at the Infectious Diseases Unit at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital. Everything kept falling into place as I met one study criteria after another (recent HIV diagnosis, never having been on HIV meds, low CD4 count and high viral load, among others). I also got to know the ID clinical team during those first months, and in addition to teaching me so much about the virus, they explained that this particular study was not of the experimental kind. Given how ill I had become, I would have been hesitant to risk being a guinea pig on non-drug placebo and the possible outcomes that might occur. Rather, this randomized, double blind study, NIH Protocol #A5202, would be comparing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of four approved anti-HIV drug combinations (Sustiva [efavirenz, Stocrin] with Truvada [tenofovir/FTC], Sustiva with Epzicom [abacavir/3TC, Kivexa], Reyataz [atazanavir] with Norvir [ritonavir] and Truvada, and Reyataz with Norvir and Epzicom).
Those were stressful days for sure -- severe anxiety, depression and physical illness make for bad company. But the nurses and physicians at the ID clinic treated me with respect and exhibited patience and wisdom every step of the way. We had begun to forge a relationship built on truth and trust. I learned that I would be on the Reyataz, Norvir and either Truvada or Epzicom arm of the study, and in my infinite wisdom I thought it would be a good idea to start treatment during the week I had planned September vacation at my friend's house in Wellfleet on Cape Cod, quiet times in a peaceful place, no distractions or responsibilities except taking care of myself by commencing my treatment. The clinical team thought my plan acceptable provided I check in with them on a daily basis. Within six hours of taking my first dose, however, I started to feel ill and by the next morning I had broken out with high fever, tremendous chills and extreme nausea.
"What's your temperature?" Asked Jon, one of the study nurses, when I called the clinic the next morning to let them know how my first day on the meds had played out.
"My fever is high," I replied.
"How high?" he asked, and sheepishly I confessed I had no thermometer.
"GO BUY A THERMOMETER, ED!" Said Jon, in all caps. But he did not actually scream into the phone; instead there was compassion and understanding in his voice, a tone of genuine yet firm concern. My fever stayed around 103 for the first four days yet the physicians and nurses urged me not to give up and to keep taking my meds at the prescribed time each day. Things will improve soon, they said. And I trusted them. I did not want to believe otherwise.
I liken those first days on meds to a Holy War against the virus, thousands of sophisticated and trained pharmaceutical soldiers at battle with millions of copies of the virus. It was exhausting work, as I imagine combat can be, and wars are not always won or lost in a few days. I recently found the two-week journal from the onset of the study, and it chronicles a harrowing first week on my meds. Around day three I broke out in a complete body rash and had no appetite; incredibly fatigued, I was doing my best to sleep as much as possible. On the seventh day things changed -- I started to feel more alert, my temperature broke, and I was much less nauseous and fatigued. In short, I felt worlds better, and called the clinic to thank them for talking me through those early days of battle, and for their encouragement to stick with the meds even though I had considered flushing them all down the toilet.
My viral load started to come down dramatically in those first months, and my CD4 count inched upward. I was no longer classified as an AIDS patient, and started to resume a more normal and energetic life. I continued to visit the clinic every month for blood work and questionnaires and informative discussions about HIV. Odd as it may seem in the midst of a sterilized hospital setting, I look back at those times as days of warmth, nurture and stability.
About two years into the study, my viral load started to spike for no apparent reason, in the 450-copy range. I had maintained 100 percent adherence to the meds, never missed a dose, and my viral load had been undetectable for more than 18 months. What was up? As it turns out, I was in a subset of study participants that the investigators were looking at quite closely -- those who began treatment at a viral load higher than 250,000 copies. And it turns out that they were seeing similar viral load spikes across the country in other participants who fell into this category. The team at the Brigham and Women's explained in detail and lay terms what was most likely occurring, and under guidance from NIH they were prepared to break protocol and do something that rarely occurs in this type of study -- open up the one randomized medication to see if there was a pattern. And indeed the pattern proved to be Epzicom. Dr. Paul Sax, the principal Boston investigator, explained to me that I could remain on Epzicom -- long term viral load effect unknown -- or switch to Truvada, which had a more stable track record for patients in my subset. Considering this a no brainer, and relieved at how the investigator's ultimate concern seemed to be for the participants' health and well-being, I switched to Truvada and continue on the Reyataz, Norvir and Truvada combination to this day. In large part, that's why drug studies occur -- if an unexpected result transpires, data is considered and recommendations are made, and because of this study's results Epzicom is no longer used in first-line treatment regimens for those HIV patients starting with a viral load greater than 250,000 copies.
The portion of the study where my meds were provided at no cost ended several years ago, but I've continued going to the ID clinic every three to four months as they collect blood and follow-up data for additional NIH research into long-term effects of the drugs, and other results from complete blood work; they also save some blood at each visit for future research. I had been told the study was to end at some point this year, and when I emailed my nurse Cheryl the other day to find out when that would be, she emailed back within an hour. Her prompt replies have become another reassuring reminder of the quality and level of care I've received since September 2006.
As it turns out, the long-term data collection portion of the study will end by fall this year, and when Cheryl told me that I felt as if the rug had been pulled out from under me. The folks at the ID clinic are the only HIV team I've known, and in my HIV journey they've been there for me every step of the way. Sure, my primary care doctor knows about my HIV status, but he's not an HIV specialist, and I don't relate to him with the openness and honesty in the same way I do with the ID team.
When the study comes to an end I'll have no choice -- I will no longer be a patient of the ID clinic, and I'll have to find a new way, on my own. This is what I envision moving toward the outside of the merry-go-round might look like; dizzy, I'd be hanging on but unable to make it back to the center. Experience and time has taught me that is the only place to be. But because I wish to remain healthy and undetectable I'll do my best to find my way back to the center and to a level of care comparable to the extraordinary quality care I've received from a collaborative team of dedicated clinicians. I consider myself so fortunate, and to my ID team I shall remain forever grateful.

As supporters of the arts and big fans of Chanel, we can't help but ogle at the parade of goodness that walked the red carpet for the Chanel Tribeca Film Festival dinner last night at Tribeca's Odeon. Sure, Kanye brought Kim, but with the shiny beauty looks (hello Camilla Belle, you doll!) and sophisticated dresses (Lily Donaldson killed it on the glam-o-meter), the Ks became more of an afterthought. Also in question: Can Karlie Kloss ever take a fashion misstep? And who is more adorable than Annabelle Dexter-Jones? For these answers and more (like where has Leelee Sobieski been?) we turned to the rosey catwalk for stiletto overload and cheesin' celebs in (what else) Chanel. Double C crack? Your fix awaits you.

The power of WordPress lies in its pluggable infrastructure. Unlike other content management applications which require you to edit the core code of the system to make changes, WordPress supports plugins. These smaller applications tie in to a rich API provided by WordPress that allows you to change just about everything about the application and customize it as needed.
The official plugin repository on WordPress.org is currently home to over 20,000 distinct plugins. Each one adds some new functionality to WordPress, giving you the ability to tweak content, change colors, adjust layouts, or integrate with external systems. This doesn't even begin to cover the hundreds of premium plugins you can find online that provide even richer functionality.
Most WordPress developers will, at some point, be asked to create some kind of plugin for a client site. These client plugins can range from a shortcode manager to some kind of advertisement rotation engine to an API integration with a third-party customer management system. Instead of focusing on the what for your plugins, this tutorial will focus on the how. Namely, the three different ways you can structure a WordPress Plugin. [Read more…]

FY 2004 funding proposal includes $25 million for We the People initiative
President Bush's FY 2004 budget request for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) seeks funding of $152 million, including $25 million for the agency's We the People initiative, designed to encourage and strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture.
"Democracy is not self-sustaining. Americans must understand the principles and practices on which our democratic nation is built so that they can pass the ideals of freedom down from one generation to the next," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. "The President's request recognizes the Endowment's efforts to increase our citizens' understanding of who we are as a nation, and it affirms his desire to make sure that understanding reaches all Americans."
The new funding will support a variety of We the People special projects, such as the following:
- Major expansion of NEH's Seminars and Institutes program to provide humanities teachers additional opportunities to study significant texts on American history and culture;
- Support for model curriculum projects to help schools establish or improve course offerings in American history, culture and civics;
- Support for local and statewide projects on American history, culture and civics sponsored by the 56 state humanities councils;
- Funding to inaugurate an annual National History Bee focused on We the People themes;
- Enhanced support for American Editions and Reference Works, fundamental scholarly resources for understanding who we are as a nation; and
- Special exhibitions in museums and historical organizations and reading and lecture programs in libraries for out-of-school audiences keyed to We the People themes.
The FY 2004 budget will continue support for previously announced We the People programs, including an annual national essay contest for high school students on the theme of "The Idea of America" and an annual "Heroes of History" lecture, in which an acclaimed humanities scholar tells the story of heroic figures in American life and history. Both the first awards ceremony and lecture will be held on Tuesday, Feb.18 in Washington, D.C.
President Bush launched the We the People initiative on Constitution Day, Sept. 17, 2002, at a special White House Rose Garden ceremony. The President cited numerous studies that have indicated that many young Americans have at best only a passing knowledge of our nation's history and principles of democratic government. For example, surveys have shown that one in five high school seniors did not know Germany was not a U.S. ally in World War II, and 40 percent of college students at 55 elite colleges and universities could not place the Civil War in the correct half century.
The FY 2004 budget also includes funding for NEH grant programs in support of high quality education, research, preservation, and public programming in the humanities and for the projects and programs of the state humanities councils; challenge and other matching grants to stimulate and match nonfederal contributions to humanities projects; and the Endowment's administrative expenses necessary to operate the agency.

Lindsay Lohan's father is furious that she celebrated avoiding jail by going out partying.
Michael Lohan is shocked the 26-year-old actress - who was sentenced to 90 days in rehab after entering a last-minute "no contest" plea to driving offences in court yesterday - went to Hollywood's AV Nightclub soon after the hearing, arriving in the back of her billionaire friend Mr. Pink's car.
He told RadarOnline.com: "Are you kidding me? Just when you think things are getting better, the same people who were in court with Lindsay, and heard the judge instruct her not to be around people or places that drugs might be present, are the same ones out with her attempting to go into a club last night!"
Lindsay was told by the judge that she must submit proof of where she is in rehab within 45 days, and Michael believes she should have been ordered to seek treatment immediately so that her lawyer Mark Heller and her mother Dina Lohan would not be able to interfere in the matter.
He said: "Maybe waiting 45 days is too long? I wish she'd let me pick out the rehab now and even pay for it, but then again, Heller and Dina wouldn't approve even if it was the best. Or will they pay?"
The troubled star tried to arrive at the night club unnoticed by covering her herself with a blanket but never got out of the car and ordered her driver to take her home after 15 minutes because the paparazzi were taking pictures of her.
Lindsay pleaded "no contest" in relation to charges for lying to police about driving her Porsche when she hit a cement truck on the Pacific Coast Highway last June while still on probation for stealing a necklace.
As well as 90 days in rehab, the 'Liz & Dick' star was also sentenced to 30 days of community service and 18 months of psychotherapy, two months of which she has already completed.

Many people, health professionals and laymen alike, believe that depression , anxiety, and suicide rates rise during the holidays. The media often links suicides during this time of year to the "holiday blues." However, various studies have shown no relationship between depression and suicide, and the holiday season. In fact, researchers found that depression rates and suicides actually drop during the winter months and peak in the spring.
Evidence for the Health Claim
The reason behind the claim that depression rates and suicides rise during the holidays is that holiday cheer amplifies loneliness and hopelessness in people who have lost loved ones, or who have high expectations of renewed happiness during the holiday season, only to be disappointed. Others think the increase in anxiety and gloominess is caused by the unavoidable stress, exhaustion, and frustration that come with preparing for the holidays. One study found that two out of three newspaper stories about suicide or depression from mid-November 1999 to mid-January 2000 made a connection between suicides and the holidays, further encouraging the notion.
Seasonal affective disorder is a form of depression that is closely related to the winter season, and therefore, seems to increase in frequency around the holidays. However, it is important to note that the condition is triggered by the short, dark, cold days of winter and not the actual holidays.
Evidence Against the Health Claim
Various studies have found that depression and suicide rates are not linked to the holidays. Despite the media focus on suicides during the holiday season, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Health Statistics report that suicide rates in the United States are lowest during the winter months and highest in the springtime (the reasons for this are not clear). Some authorities speculate that during springtime, when moods tend to improve after dark, winter days, those with depression may not feel happier while others around them do, thus encouraging suicidal feelings.
An in-depth analysis of all completed suicides in Olmsted County, Minnesota over a 35-year period found no increase in suicides three days before, during, or three days after birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, or the Fourth of July. Another study found that psychiatric visits actually decreased before Christmas and increased again afterwards. One possible explanation is that people who are depressed receive more emotional support than normal from friends and family during the holiday season.
The Olmsted County study also found that suicides are most numerous early in the week and least common on weekends. Some think that this might be due to greater social interaction during the weekends and holidays, which may deter troublesome thoughts.
The Annenburg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania examined national suicide data from 1996 and found that November and December are actually the lowest-ranked months in daily suicides, with January close behind. The organization also analyzed media portrayals of a link between suicide and the holidays, and found that a majority of newspapers inaccurately supported the misconception. Researchers expressed concern that blurring the facts about an issue as serious as suicide could have harmful implications, such as "copycat deaths."
Contrary to popular belief, depression and suicide rates do not rise around holidays. The media often inaccurately reports such a link, and also tends to blame suicides during the holiday season on depression or anxiety directly related to the holidays. However, studies have shown that people tend to be less likely to commit suicide during the holiday season, perhaps because of an increase in available emotional support.
