Benzodiazepines Sleeping Pills and Antidepressant Recovery Experts
Benzodiazepine Drug Information
Benzodiazepines are widely used for a variety of conditions including anxiety and insomnia, but also for muscle tightness, pre-surgical sedation, detoxification from alcohol and the anxiety experienced with cardiovascular or gastrointestinal conditions.
Benzodiazepines primary mode of action is on GABA (gamma-aminobutryic acid), the most common receptor in the nervous system. GABA is a neurotransmitter that is the cornerstone of the inhibitory (calming) system of the body, and controls the action of epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine. The main function of GABA is to prevent anxiety and stress-related messages from reaching the motor centers of the brain. They regulate excitability, including the seizure threshold. The brain must balance the excitatory and calming influences. Excessive excitation can lead to seizures, insomnia, anxiety and other clinical conditions; whereas excessive inhibition results in incoordination, sedation and anesthesia.
Benzodiazepines, barbiturates and alcohol all act on GABA, and chronic use down-regulates and modify the GABA receptors, which in turn causes dependence. With continued use of Benzodiazepines, the calming effect of GABA is diminished while the excitatory neurotransmitter Glutamate, is increased. Glutamate is always an excitatory neurotransmitter, and GABA is what counters this action. As GABA is initially enhanced by Benzodiazepines, the brain’s output of excitatory neurotransmitters, including Norepinephrine (noradrenalin), Serotonin, Acetyl Choline and Dopamine are reduced. These neurotransmitters are necessary for alertness, muscle tone, coordination, memory, emotional responses, endocrine gland hormones, heart rate, blood pressure control and other functions. As a result, all these may be impaired by Benzodiazepines.
Additional receptors for Benzodiazepines (non-GABA) are located in the colon, kidney, blood cells and adrenal cortex, and therefore may also be affected by Benzodiazepines. These actions are responsible for the well-known side effects and adverse reactions.
As the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA filters out irrelevant messages by terminating the excitatory glutamate, epinephrine and norepinephrine. GABA is viewed as the ‘braking system’ among neurotransmitters and it is estimated that about 40% of the synapses in the human brain work with GABA. GABA also enhances alpha wave production to promote relaxation and moderate occasional stress and supports immune health. It has been shown that T-cells (white blood cells critical to the immune system), are inhibited by GABA, and GABA has been shown to inhibit the response to foreign antigens. This suggests that the immune system needs GABA to function properly. This may explain why it is common to have frequent infections and a compromised immune system after long-term use of Benzodiazepines, or in the withdrawal process.
In situations of high stress or excitement, the brain responds with an increase in GABA production. Under normal situations, our levels of GABA are sufficient to maintain control of the excitatory stimuli. GABA’s high concentration in the hypothalamus suggests it plays a critical role in both hypothalamus and pituitary function. The hypothalamus is a region of the brain that is the regulating center for instinctive functions such as sleep cycles, body temperature, and the pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland affecting all hormone functions of the body.
The GABA receptor allows more chloride ions to enter the brain cell, thus working to maintain the electrical charge within the cells. Benzodiazepines work by increasing the effectiveness of GABA in the chloride opening so the chloride ion cells to allow more chloride to enter the nerves. Caffeine does the opposite and inhibits the property of GABA. Therefore Benzodiazepines work as a tranquilizer and caffeine as a stimulant. Benzodiazepines act as a booster to the actions of GABA, and allow more chloride ions to enter the neuron. This in turn makes the nerve more resistant to excitation.
The Calcium-Channel activity is also increased by Benzodiazepines. Calcium-channels are located in the central nervous system, but also are located in excitable cells including in the muscle, nerve cells and in the Glial cells that form myelin to protect the nerve endings, and provide support and protection for the brain’s nerve cells. There is roughly one Glial for every neuron in the gray matter of the brain. Prolonged use of benzodiazepines result in adaptation of the receptors that may increase in number and/or their sensitivity to GABA. A larger dose of the Benzodiazepine may be needed to produce the same calming effect. This phenomenon is known as ‘tolerance’. Additionally, upregulated Calcium Channels are linked to an increase in neuropathy pain. Withdrawal of the drug can result in the receptor becoming hypoactive, producing symptoms worse than what the patient originally sought treatment for. If Benzodiazepines are suddenly stopped or reduced too rapidly, the calcium floods into the cell. This can cause intense withdrawal symptoms and be life-threatening due to the seizure risk.
Additionally, prolonged exposure to Benzodiazepines measurably increase accumulation of intracellular calcium that over-excites the neurons and increases anxiety, muscle tension, insomnia and many other symptoms associated with tolerance and withdrawal.
When the GABA is no longer capable of opening the chloride ion channels, the cells become overly excited. This cellular hyper-excitability is responsible for the insomnia, irritability, tachycardia, hypertension, hallucinations and seizures from the abrupt cessation of long-term alcohol use and also benzodiazepines.
Alcohol has a similar effect to benzodiazepines, increasing the release of chloride back into the neurons. This is the major way in which alcohol affects the brain. Tolerance to alcohol and benzodiazepines is the receptor adapting to the drug by increasing the number of receptors so more of the drug is needed to have the effect. The receptors become hypoactive by the drug being withdrawn, which enhances the symptoms that the drug was intended to treat.
Benzodiazepine withdrawal is far more involved than alcohol, heroin, methamphetamine or even opiates. Yet 112.8 million prescriptions were filled in 2008, with the majority prescribed by primary care physicians. They remain among the most frequently recommended medication.
Benzodiazepines can be extremely habit-forming and long-term use is not recommended (longer than 14 consecutive days).

Anxiolytic Drug Information:Anxiolytics are medications used for the treatment of anxiety. Currently the two main categories are Azapirone, which only includes Buspirone; and Benzodiazepines, which are among the top 100 most commonly prescribed medications. Often Anxiety Medications are prescribed for insomnia.
There is mixed evidence on using Azapirones for the treatment of anxiety disorders. They are commonly employed as an augment to antidepressant therapy and are occasionally used as an antipsychotic agent. Its anti-anxiety action is believed to work through its action on Serotonin. Buspirone is often used to enhance the activity of SSRIs but is not used as an antidepressant alone. But there are warnings against combining multiple Serotonin-inducing agents due to the risk of Serotonin Syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Symptoms of the Serotonin Syndrome may include mental changes such as irritability, altered consciousness, confusion, hallucinations, and coma; shivering, heart irregularities, tremor, rigidity and gastrointestinal symptoms such as cramping, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
Side Effects May Include: dizziness, nervousness, nausea, numbness, headache, weakness, lightheadedness, excitement

What is a good question?
To be an effective professional, you need to understand the point of asking good questions. The purpose isn’t just to find out information, and it isn’t meant to influence someone to see things your way, or to solve problems for them. Instead, the aim is to create as many opportunities as possible for patients or colleagues to think about their stories in new ways. The understanding they reach and any action they decide to take as a result may not be what you expected or what you hoped for. We don’t prejudge what is right for the client – unless we think the patient is in danger or the client is at risk professionally. Often, the change that occurs in the conversation is a cognitive one rather than a concrete decision. For example, clients may realise through the conversation that what they were already thinking or doing was right all along, and feel more comfortable about it. Alternatively, they may reach an entirely different view of the problem, perhaps seeing their own part in it rather than feeling it was somebody else’s fault.
Good questioning is not the only kind of utterance in effective conversations, but it is a better way of creating openness and possibility than any other form of speech. Good interviewers can demonstrate how well they have understood a client simply by asking questions that correspond appropriately to the language and the emotions present in the conversation. This is why we discourage the familiar routine of empathic noises (eg ‘I hear what you’re saying’), reflecting back (eg ‘so what you’re saying is…’), reformulation (eg ‘it sounds to me as if…’), and interpretation (eg ‘I think what’s really going on here is…). Unlike some other methods, we try to avoid direct inquiry into emotions (including the ubiquitous ‘how did you feel about that?’). For some clinicians this question has become an automatic response. It is sometimes asked without real sincerity and may not be what the other person wants to speak about. If someone is feeling strong emotion and chooses to express this, it is perfectly possible to allow this to happen through sensitive questioning without insisting on it. A question like ‘how did this experience affect you?’ will nearly always be more helpful than a statement like ‘you must have felt very angry’. Although this may have been said with the intention of expressing empathy it can be experienced as clumsy and may be off the mark anyway.
We draw on the ideas of a group of therapists known as the ‘Milan Team ‘ who proposed three principles for good questioning: hypothesising, circularity, neutrality. Later one of the team, Gianfranco Cecchin, proposed a fourth principle: curiosity.
There are instances when it is useful to form a series of conscious working hypotheses in one’s mind as a conversation proceeds and to use these to generate appropriate questions. However, some people do seem able to question clients through intuition without necessarily identifying the hypotheses that led to them – or only becoming aware of these afterwards.
Where hypotheses are fully conscious, we advise against sharing these openly with clients, because this may lead to the supervisor’s assumptions taking over and suppressing what the client can actually say or think. In the case of the example above, it is easy to imagine that declaring each hypothesis as it arose could be helpful if the supervisor was right about every single one of them (and the client had already thought through all these aspects of the problem in advance). However this can be oppressive if they turn out to be wrong – and possibly based on the supervisor’s own experience alone – or if they are more or less correct but badly mis-timed because the client is only realising them with some difficulty during the interview itself. For every one occasion when a supervisor shares a totally accurate hypothesis and moves the interview forward with great speed as result, there are probably a hundred examples where supervisors are convinced they are absolutely right and hijack the interview by offering their own version of events, leaving their clients somewhat worse off than if they had never asked for supervision in the first place.
One advantage of identifying one’s own hypotheses and examining them critically is to help you avoid barking up the wrong tree. Sometimes an interviewer will pursue a whole line of questioning based on a single unexamined assumption, perhaps based on their own experience: this is called ‘being wedded to your hypothesis’. When it’s clear that an interview is going nowhere, it’s always worth reviewing whether an assumption of this kind is present and then adjusting it.
One of the most fundamental principles of narrative-based practice is that questions should be linked to something the client has already said. Whenever possible it is worthwhile for interviewers to pick up on words or phrases from the client’s own narrative rather than choosing these from their own vocabulary, or substituting other words and phrases that may seem almost identical but have significant differences for clients. Following another person’s exact language is a way of showing empathy and interest through careful listening.
Effective professionals have an ability to sense cues that have ‘life’ or ‘weight’ in them and to tune out of everything superfluous, while others seem to pick cues at random from the client’s flow of words and hence ask questions that are irrelevant or trivial. One corrective to this, particularly for learners, is to check constantly with clients which among several cues it might be most helpful for the supervisor to follow, and to be willing to review the conversation or wind it backwards whenever a question seems to lead down a blind alley or makes the interview go slack (e.g. ‘you mentioned earlier that there were two aspects to this problem: which of them is foremost in your mind at the moment?’). Another approach is to ask the other person how the conversation is going for them, what they are getting out of it, and what is still missing for them.
With good conversations, there is a circularity of emotions as well as words. Some poor supervisors meander, while others go straight for the jugular vein. Effective ones seem to move forward at exactly the right pace to keep the conversation taut without provoking either boredom or defensiveness in clients. When the client seems vague or unfocussed, they become more precise and assertive in their questioning. When the client tenses up and they sense they have run up against a ‘wall’ in the conversation, they ease up gently but not too much (or they pause to talk with the observer or team if there is one).
Neutrality as a term sometimes causes confusion because it implies that professionals have no views or opinions of their own. This is obviously impossible. However supervisors can still follow the discipline of not showing their views or opinions to clients.
For most learners it isn’t easy to master to process of turning a hypothesis (whether conscious or intuitive) into a question, and then making sure that the question doesn’t give everything away by its wording or intonation. That is one of the reasons for using structured training methods in small group work. With practice the process becomes internalised and hence easier. For some people it fits so well with what they believe to be effective and ethical conversational practice that it becomes effortless.
There are sometimes situations where the interviewer stands in a significant power relationship with the client (for example as trainer and trainee, or employer and employee) or the two people normally work together in a shared context like a team or practice where their own interests may differ. In such situations, attempts by supervisors to show neutrality can be dishonest. They can turn into ‘narrative-based manipulation’, where the interviewer performs apparently neutral interviewing while actually aiming to influence the client to consent to one pre-meditated outcome. Neutral interviewing of a client in this situation is certainly possible, but only up to a point. For example an interviewer can show curiosity into why a trainee or colleague takes a particular position, if he or she accepts that the other person’s position is entirely reasonable from their own perspective.
However at some point the interviewer will need to declare his or her own position (if this isn’t already obvious) and will need to conduct the rest of the conversation based on the fact that there is a real difference of opinion: both parties now need to address how to manage that difference. This may entail an interviewer in a position of power exerting their authority and declaring that they cannot be neutral about the action they need to take. Where the supervisor and client are equals within the same power structure, the next step may be to explore together what the consequences of their difference will be within the wider system and who else might be implicated by it. If this cannot strictly be conducted in a neutral way, there is certainly no reason why it cannot be amicable.
Patients often report that it wasn’t the questioning that helped most in a conversation (at least so far as they can remember) but the overall stance of curiosity in their interviewer. Indeed, we have often seen clunky questions do the trick so long as the interviewer was genuinely engaged and curious. ‘Text book’ questioning can achieve nothing at all if delivered in a way that seems rehearsed or inauthentic. There may be a few specific questions in any interview that stop clients in their tracks and lead them to say ‘that’s a really good question’. There may be other questions that they chew over during the course of the following week so that the interviewer may never even learn what a good question it was. However many of us have had the humbling experience of being congratulated by a client after an interview for asking fantastic questions that we never actually asked: our clients imagined that they heard the questions that they really wanted. In these instances, it is probably the quality of the interviewer’s curiosity that enables the client to imagine the perfect question even though the supervisor hasn’t actually asked the ‘right’ ones at the time.
Tomm’s framework for asking questions
The principles of the Milan Team were later developed into a framework for questioning by Karl Tomm, a Canadian professor of psychiatry. He called it “interventive interviewing”, implying that conversations, conducted through questions, can make a difference to how people view and understand things and are therefore really ‘interventions’. We prefer to call these interviews “conversations inviting change”.
From watching videos of the Milan Team at work, Tomm drew up a theoretical framework for using questions as interventions. Although his original premise was that therapeutic conversations aim to relieve mental pain and suffering and produce healing, the concepts are not restricted to therapy. Tomm has argued that you can transfer the underlying principles to any conversation where someone is trying to help someone else (or a group) view a problem or dilemma in new ways, including supervision and team facilitation.
Tomm’s scheme is helpful in promoting self-awareness in relation to the quality, variety and effects of different questions, particularly in the early stages of learning narrative-based practice. As he points out, the taxonomy doesn’t map very well onto many real-life conversations. Our observation is that it can also can hamper people if they try to follow it slavishly. Like riding a bike, it is probably best learned then forgotten.
However it is useful for learners to know the distinctions Tomm makes between lineal questions (e.g. ‘who else works with you?’), strategic ones (e.g. ‘what would happen if you raised this problem at a practice meeting?), circular ones (e.g. ‘who gets most upset in your practice if you don’t always follow clinical guidelines?’) and reflexive questions (e.g. ‘if the doctors couldn’t resolve their disagreements, who do you think would be the first one to leave?’). It’s certainly worth noting that all these questions are open ones, in the sense that they don’t begin with verbs and hence open the possibility for narrative development rather than inviting the answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
You may feel more comfortable calling these ‘linear’ questions. These are investigative questions with which clinicians are very familiar as they form the basis of medical history taking: what, who, why, when, where? They are very useful questions that help the interviewer and interviewee orient themselves, set the context and gain clearer understanding of the interviewee’s story. They are based on ‘lineal assumptions’ that assume that things have simple causes and effects. They bring out facts but the drawback is that they tend to establish an existing story that does not necessarily help the interviewee to see new paths or options. Unless used with caution this type of question may convey a judgmental attitude and embed pathology and an unchanging narrative.
What has happened?
How long has this been an issue for you?
Who else is involved?
Who else believes……..?
What have you done about…….?
These could be also be thought of as interactional questions. They are exploratory and assume that everything is connected with everything else (‘circular assumptions’). Circular questions are used to bring out patterns that link events, perceptions and behaviour. They are founded on curiosity to create a dynamic view of the interviewee’s situation. There are many different types of circular questions but most fall into the categories of “difference questions” and “contextual questions”.
How do you think x sees you?
How do you imagine x thinks you see her?
When x gets angry what does y do?
When the consultant/senior partner is stressed what effect does that have on the receptionist?
Was the nurse more likely to show this attitude problem before or after her colleague went on sick leave?
These are corrective, leading questions where the interviewer embeds advice in the question. They can be helpful when a supervisor needs to act as an instructor. They are a way of saying “If I were you I would do…” but offering advice as a question leaves some room for the interviewer to reflect on their response. These questions can be experienced as reassuring and supportive or as challenging and constraining and may get interviewer and interviewee into an oppositional stance. They should therefore be used sparingly.
What do you think would happen if you:
started a disciplinary procedure?
just ignored this?
spoke to one of the partners/the clinical lead about this?
got some legal advice?
What would the advantages and disadvantages be if you:
said exactly what you think?
asked x to do y?
just told her what to do?
asked what she would like?
pointed out what it says in her contract about this?
Tomm thinks of these as the most facilitative questions. They invite people to consider something familiar in a new context. The aim is to perturb the interviewee’s thinking in order to help them develop new and more constructive ideas. Using reflexive questions assumes that people are autonomous and cannot be instructed directly. They may offer a more creative approach but can sometimes make people feel confused.
What will happen if nothing changes? / How long do you think you could put up with the situation if it doesn’t change?
What would be happen if you did nothing? / Who else do you think would be the first to act if you did nothing yourself?
What’s the best thing / worst thing that could happen of you asked the team to discuss these issues?
If we could find a solution to this problem what other problems might be exposed as a result?
What can we do to move this conversation forward?
What would you do if this happened again?
From these examples it should be clear that the same question may fit into different categories depending on why and how it is asked. There may be a difference between the interviewer’s intention in asking a question and the actual effects of that question on the interviewee. This may be because there is a difference between the interviewer’s intentions and what they actually do, or because there is a difference between what the interviewer asks and how this is heard by the interviewee. These mis-matches can be minimised by experience and by close attention to language, both verbal and non-verbal. However, the interviewer has to take responsibility for asking questions without always knowing what their effects might be. Although some questions elicit an immediate response, the interviewer may not always be aware of the inner reflections that may be generated and some questions may linger for a long time beyond the immediate conversation.

The FDA has a bad case of CBD – as in Chronic Bureaucratic Dysfunction. This affliction has been evident for some time, but the symptoms are getting worse.
The FDA can’t figure out how to regulate CBD, short for cannabidiol, the all-star cannabis compound with formidable therapeutic properties that won’t make a person feel high. Although it doesn’t cause intoxication or impairment, cannabidiol has completely befuddled FDA officials, who aren’t able to scale with the magnitude of CBD’s meteoric rise in popularity.
CBD has scrambled the prohibitionist narrative. It has disordered the FDA’s cosmos. Over 64 million (one in seven) Americans have thumbed their nose at the FDA by choosing to use a CBD product. Many are taking CBD for medical conditions that don’t respond well to FDA-approved pharmaceuticals.
The FDA is responsible for ensuring that everything we eat or drink, every drug we take to feel better, is safe (and supposedly effective). But there’s no precedent for regulating a substance so versatile that it works as a single-molecule pharmaceutical, a wellness nutraceutical, an essential oil extract, and an artisanal herbal preparation that can be ingested as food or beverage, inhaled as vapor or smoke, or absorbed sublingually and applied topically in various ways.
Such is the case with CBD.
So, the FDA does what it always does. It reverts reflexively to old bureaucratic habits. The FDA only recognizes the medical utility of isolated components of cannabis. Single-molecule CBD is an FDA-approved prescription pharmaceutical. So is single molecule tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). But herbal cannabis, the natural source of CBD and THC, isn’t an FDA-approved therapy. Full spectrum, CBD-rich essential oils extracted from resinous cannabis flower tops are frowned upon by the FDA, which routinely privileges pharma over farmer.

The name does not derive from the raspberry, but probably from the Latin term "im bercla"(pergola), because this is how it is traditionally grown. Due to morphological similarities it must not be confused with the "half-brother" Lafnetscha. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2004, it is a cross between Humagne Blanche and an unknown variety. In Switzerland, the variety is classified in the Old Growths grape variety group. The medium-ripening, high-yielding vine is susceptible to botrytis, but is well suited to dry soils. It produces a straw yellow white wine with aromas of citrus and mango. This practically extinct variety was revived in 1984 by the winegrower Josef-Maria Chanton in the canton of Valais in the municipality of Visperterminen on just 0.2 hectares.

This adds up to some fairly funky individuality on the wrist. Together with the legibility and heft issues sorted, it is a replica watch which catches you because of its playfulness. This can be an opinion best judged by a few high quality wrist timing, rather than by images.
It is no surprise then that the Rolex Replica also offers an intriguing backstory. It began life as a portion of this aviation-inspired"Air" series. A particular assortment of replica watches started in 1945 by Rolex Replica creator, Hans Wilsdorf. The identical year that the Rolex Datejust made its introduction. British RAF pilots appreciated the chronometer precision they provided. And paid from their pocket to update from their typical issue bits.
In case you don't find delight at the absolute character of this opinion, you'll find arguably much better replica watches to be had at the Rolex expert selection. In the event the anti-magnetic qualities talk to you along with the heft is welcome, then the Milgauss will probably better serve you. If you prefer the pragmatic nature of the dial however want it toned down somewhat in colour and in mass, then make the Explorer I. If you find each one the above mentioned options just too conservative and predictable, the Rolex Replica is well situated at the junction of each, using a little bit of flair thrown in for good measure.
What's that? The well-known an replica watch is (or even the not as visually bold), the longer people could say the wearer wears the opinion. The more renowned a view is, the further people can say the best Rolex Replica watch may be sporting the individual. In the instance of not just the brand but specifically the President version, this replica watch in the very least evenly wears you. That is because this timepiece household comes pre-loaded with this much nature and messaging into a broad variety of individuals. In a great deal of cases that's a really positive thing as it implies luxury replica watch buyers get just what they expected to be paying -- and that's instant, positive recognition when folks view their timepiece.
When compared with the preceding Rolex replica watches in 36mm, the new reference(s) possess a case profile that is more subtle and tasteful. We were not able to compare it live into a prior Day-Date mention ourselves but we'll certainly do this if we get the chance. The brand new caliber 3255 is like the brand new standard for your Datejust (3235) and GMT-Master II (3285) a motion with a stricter regulation (-2/+2 moments every day on average). It sounds Rolex is updating all their caliber 31xx moves now. What's more, Rolex increases the energy book to 70 hours for all these caliber 32xx moves.
Editor's Note: Maybe it's because Ceri has been seeing them on the wrists of the wealthy and famous, or perhaps it's due to its fine green-dialled variant released at Baselworld that we are more than a bit infatuated with.
Beyond individuals who"made it" because they, understandably, dropped for its fine looks, there are also these super-thoughtful Rolex Replica clients who've completed a reasonable bit of research prior to purchasing their first (or next) Rolex. They've looked in the Submariner and Submariner Date, in addition to the Oyster Perpetual, the 2 collections which populate the Explorer I price- and feature-wise. I can relate to people who end up using the Explorer that I 214270, but I am, nonetheless, not very certain this is the opinion I'd buy, were I searching for a cheap Rolex today.
So, the opinion in question would be from 2016, so why dig now? The steel Rolex marketplace hasn't been hotter and that I thought it may be interesting to check at a replica watch that's both actively in the creamy centre of the Rolex layout language and also among the priciest new Rolex sports models available on the market. My everyday view is really a last-generation Rolex Replica for sale, and with this standpoint I wanted to see where it all started and where we locate the Rolex Replica now, in a universe mad for metal Rolex.
With such a lengthy production run, there are lots of classic Rolex Replica which have aged to a particular appearance (for instance, tropical dial cases ) or earlier cases with gilt dials, or rarer inventory like those using a gilt dial along with a line below the text above six o'clock (aka"gilt underline" 1016s).

Head-to-Head 2020: Pittsburgh Panthers
Observer Sports Staff | Friday, October 23, 2020
Notre Dame Passing
It’s fair to say Saturday’s passing effort against Louisville left a lot to be desired for Notre Dame. Graduate student Javon McKinley, who seemed to be making the “senior” leap the Irish have become accustomed to with receivers such as Miles Boykin and Chase Claypool, came back down to the earth. Graduate student Ian Book completed just 11 of 19 passes for 106 yards, missed open receivers and failed to connect with freshman tight end Michael Mayer on two touchdown opportunities. That does not bode well going into a matchup with a physical, well-coached Pittsburgh secondary. While the Panthers have been susceptible to big plays through the air, the Irish have shown no signs of posing a threat with the deep ball. That makes for a bad matchup with a Pitt team looking to snap a three-game losing streak.
Notre Dame Rushing
It’s strength against strength in this position battle. Say what you want about Tommy Rees’ vanilla offensive style, but he’s established the run in a big way this season. That will be tested against a stout Pittsburgh defensive front that ranks No. 1 in the country in run defense, allowing under two yards per rush. You could lean Notre Dame due to the fact that their counter plays, involving pulling junior tight end Tommy Tremble across as a blocker, will do much to cancel out the effect of Pitt’s dynamic edge rushers. However, Pitt’s biggest weakness lies between the tackles, which tends to be where Notre Dame has struggled to open up rushing lanes, so this matchup is quite honestly a toss-up.
Notre Dame Offensive Coaching
Coming into the season, it would have been easy to chalk this up as a win for Pitt. Defensive coordinator Randy Bates is in his third season with the Panthers and will be taking on a 27-year-old first-year offensive coordinator in Tommy Rees. However, Rees has for the most part been a revelation. Last week’s 12-point effort was more a product of personnel failure (overthrows, dropped passes) and uncontrollable factors (the wind) than it was scheme issues. That said, Rees has had the benefit of playing some less-than-stellar defenses outside of the season opener, with Pitt quite easily standing above the rest of Notre Dame’s non-Clemson opponents. Given Rees’ inexperience against this type of competition, as well as Pitt’s vulnerabilities so far this season, call this a draw.
Notre Dame Offensive Special Teams
Senior kicker Jonathan Doerer quelled some of the doubts last weekend by knocking in two field goals through some major wind, improving to 5-7 on the year. He also remains perfect on extra points since taking over the kicking duties last season. The punt return game looked better after some sloppiness against Florida State, and their kick return remains dynamic with true freshman Chris Tyree waiting deep. Pitt has been victimized by poor field position when covering punts, as three of the four touchdowns they surrendered last weekend came on drives that started on their half of the field. Give the edge to the Irish here.
EDGE: Notre Dame
There’s no deception on the part of the Panthers — they will throw the ball a lot. Senior quarterback Kenny Pickett has posted over 200 passing yards every game this season, highlighted by 411 yards in a one-point loss to NC State, and backup Joey Yellen threw for 277 in a loss to No. 11 Miami last week. As the young Irish offense is learning the hard way, to make prolific passing plays requires big targets and Pitt has that. True freshman wide receiver Jordan Addison has already registered three touchdowns and is averaging almost 75 yards per game. Even if the Irish manage to mark Jordan, they’ll have to keep an eye on the depth of this receiving corps, with four other receivers averaging 30-plus yards per game. While they’ve certainly got their job cut out for them, this Irish secondary is one of their strongest positions and should be on high alert after getting burned on a few deep plays in the third quarter of last week’s matchup against Louisville.
While Pitt has by no means been known for having an explosive offense, the 2020 version of the Panthers run game is subpar even by their standards. Their leading rusher, sophomore running back Vincent Davis, is averaging only 2.8 yards per carry. Their second leading rusher is senior quarterback Kenny Pickett, who is frequently forced to flee the pocket and scramble for yards. The offensive line fails to provide a good push for ball carriers out of the backfield. They will be up against a Notre Dame front that, while failing to get to the quarterback consistently, has been stout against the run (see 35 tackles for loss already), so the Panthers are unlikely to find much success on the ground.
EDGE: Notre Dame
Pittsburgh Offensive Coaching
Is this even a close contest? Pitt isn’t known for their offense, and even with a high-volume talent like Kenny Pickett under center, the Panthers have failed to be an extremely explosive offense. Meanwhile, Notre Dame, led by defensive guru Clark Lea, have proved to be a hard-hitting and resilient defense, surrendering just five touchdowns in four games (three coming after their COVID-induced layoff against Florida State). It’s hard to imagine Pitt offensive coordinator Mark Whipple creating a game plan that stumps Lea for too long, particularly with an injured Kenny Pickett or backup Joey Yellen in the game at quarterback. EDGE: Notre Dame
Pittsburgh Offensive Special Teams
Pittsburgh has decent return men in the punt game, but no one so explosive that Notre Dame’s coverage unit need be concerned (their one punt return touchdown came against Austin Peay). Their kicker has been up and down this season, with the up and the down coming last week against Boston College. Redshirt senior Alex Kessman nailed a 58-yarder to force overtime then missed a tying extra point to lose the game in overtime. He’s 11-16 on the season, going just 4-7 in the range of 40-49 yards. It will be interesting to see how he responds after what happened against BC, but for now we’ll call this an even matchup.

When start doing dinner think first what you would like to have. With salmon you can eat any thing. Today I did with boiled potatoes and salad.

We're currently changing the thread priority of a WCF RIA service call using this code.
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Priority = System.Threading.ThreadPriority.Lowest;
Once, the operation is invoked, we change the priority to the lowest priority and the operation continues to run.
Will this have potential negative affects on other operations that are running. Also, how are these threads even handled on the server in terms of which operations get run on each thread. Am I potentially changing the thread priority of other operations that are invoked on the same thread or can I be assured that with every RIA service operation that is invoked, a new thread is created for that operation.
Any help is appreciated

Surgery can significantly prolong the lives of some women with stage-four breast cancer, according to a new study from the University of Iowa.
Doctor Alexandra Thomas says many oncologists won’t even consider surgery once the disease has spread to parts of the body beyond the breasts.
“Many will not operate on the primary tumor saying ‘this disease is everywhere on the body, so why would we subject women to the morbidity of the surgery if it won’t impact the outcome?’ That’s been sort of the dogma over the last few decades,” Thomas said. “We found it’s not true probably for some women.”
Data from over 21,000 patients shows that about 10 percent of women who receive surgery live more than 10 years. Among those who didn’t have surgery, only roughly 3 percent lived past a decade. Thomas notes the increased survival rate may be due to early diagnosis.
“Imagining today captures really small deposits of metastatic disease. So, we might label somebody incurable, whereas in 1995, we wouldn’t have even caught that disease because our imagining wasn’t as good,” Thomas said. The study was published this month in the Journal of the American Medical Association Surgery.
Thomas hopes her findings might encourage more physicians to consider surgery for patients with stage-four breast cancer, so as to enable prolonged remissions or perhaps even a cure.

Today has been a good day. I can honestly say I've been feeling better, less angry more positive. I did some reading around the forums here and reflected on what I read. The hardest thing to believe, and I staunchly disagree with, at least from my unique situation and perspective is that my exNarc was a master manipulator and a "pro" at this. The sticking point is that by saying she was the manipulator, this devious "pro", gives her power over me, even now after it is over, is to admit weakness. I personally feel that she was not a good liar, she didn't manipulate me. I know I manipulated my own feelings, I allowed this to happen to me. Let me explain: I saw the signs, I knew what was happening but I rationalized it before even confronting her and just let it go.
I also refuse to believe that the feelings of what we had weren't real. Maybe not real in the sense of mutual shared feelings between two normal human beings but still they existed. The difference lies in the perception by both parties. Yes hers may have been an act, not true love, happiness whatever, but mine was, if only at first. I will admit, I understand in her eyes I was an object, just a source on NS, but I WAS happy and that counts for something. The happiness was doomed to fail for sure. But what makes you happy is never bad. It becomes bad only when you cling to the past despite what you see before your eyes in the present.
I am also going to take a step forward and past my bitterness and anger and refuse to say that the relationship was a failure. It will only be a failure if I continue to make the same mistakes and do not learn from the experience.

GOP’s Clinton Email Strategy: Big Demands with Long Odds
An investigation into whether Clinton lied to Congress and a push to revoke her security clearance are unlikely to succeed, but they keep her scandal in the spotlight.
Republicans are going big in their push to gain political traction from the Justice Department’s decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her email practices.
A suite of new GOP proposals on both sides of Capitol Hill are unlikely to bring concrete consequences for Clinton.
But they will provide opportunities for the GOP to keep the email scandal alive during election season, even as the Justice Department’s decision this week not to bring charges removed an existential threat to Clinton’s presidential run.
The biggest move: a powerful House Republican’s pledge to formally ask the FBI to review whether Clinton lied to Congress about her email.
At a hearing Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz prodded FBI chief James Comey about whether he investigated Clinton’s statements under oath, a reference to her marathon appearance before the Select Committee on Benghazi last year.
Comey said no, noting that would require a referral from Congress. “You’ll have one. You’ll have one in the next few hours,” Chaffetz replied.
The exchange came near the beginning of the very high-profile hearing and drew extensive press coverage.
Chaffetz’s office did not provide details about the planned referral. But whatever form it takes, politically it will give Republicans the ability to claim that Clinton is facing a fresh inquiry by the Justice Department.
Legal experts say the Justice Department will likely agree to review the matter.
“There will likely be tremendous pressure on the DOJ to thoroughly investigate any referral from Congress on issues related to the accuracy of statements Clinton made under oath to the Benghazi Committee because, as Comey testified today, this would appear to be beyond the scope of the FBI’s investigation to date,” said former Justice Department trial attorney Margaret Krawiec, who is now a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
However, officials are unlikely to conclude that Clinton made any intentional misstatements, which is a difficult thing to establish. Convictions for perjury before Congress are rare.
“It’s a high bar to meet generally,” said Robert Walker, the former chief counsel to the House and Senate ethics committees.
“When people testify before Congress, they make a variety of statements and it’s typically not easy to extract and pin down a statement or statements that are sufficiently clear, firm, and intentionally false,” said Walker, who is also a former federal prosecutor.
Walker, who is now with the firm Wiley Rein, emphasized that he was speaking generally and not about the specifics of Clinton’s statements.
While the scope of the planned GOP referral wasn’t immediately clear, Chaffetz specifically mentioned Clinton’s claim during October’s appearance before the Benghazi panel that there was nothing “marked classified” in emails she sent or received.
The FBI’s probe contradicted this, concluding that three messages bore classification markings in the body of the messages—the letter “c” in parentheses.
However, Comey said there was no “header” in the emails or the text warning that there was classified information, and that it would be a “reasonable inference” for Clinton to believe that the absence of those headers meant that the information was not classified.
Overall, Chaffetz’s vow to seek a law-enforcement inquiry into Clinton’s testimony was one of just several moves by Republicans unveiled Thursday.
In one case, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn and Sen. Cory Gardner floated a bill that would revoke Clinton’s security clearances as a result of her handling of classified material on her private server.
A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did not say whether the measure might come up for a vote. It stands almost no chance of becoming law, but its release, and any potential debate, provide Republicans a fresh vehicle to criticize Clinton over her email system.
In a similar vein, House Speaker Paul Ryan very publicly sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asking him not to provide Clinton classified material.
And back in the Senate, 10 Republicans on Thursday unveiled a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry calling on him to “immediately” suspend the security clearances of Clinton and several of her former top aides at the State Department.
The House hearing with Comey arrived two days after the FBI chief made public his conclusion that Clinton, when she was secretary of State, and her colleagues were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
In one finding, he said that of the 30,000 work-related emails Clinton provided to the State Department from her private system, “110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received,” he said.
However, Comey recommended against prosecution, noting that no “reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case for violating statutes governing the handling of classified information. The FBI probe did not find evidence of “clearly intentional and willful mishandling,” or efforts to obstruct justice, among other reasons. Attorney General Loretta Lynch agreed and closed the probe.
But, needless to say, the email saga isn’t over. The Associated Press reported Thursday evening that the State Department is reopening an internal probe of “possible mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton and top aides.”

What is the most famous ancient belief that’s subsequently been disproved? A flat earth? Heat coming from caloric? The existence of aether? The earth as the centre of the universe? The guy who sculpted the Forbury Lion killed himself? Well, it turns out we have a new candidate to top them all: a third Reading bridge would increase traffic in South Oxfordshire. This long-standing principle has been central to opposition to the new crossing from the north bank for decades, but according to a new report it’s been sensationally disproved.
Credit to GetReading for unearthing this newly-released report on the “Strategic Outline Business Case” for a third Thames Bridge. The 67-page document has appeared on Wokingham Council’s website. It describes the different options that have been considered and simulated using a complex computer model. Three options were considered: (1) a two-lane bridge, i.e. one lane each direction, (2) the same two-lane bridge but with tolls, and (3) a four-lane bridge split between all-traffic and bus lanes.
Option (1) is deemed to provide by far the most benefit relative to its costs. GetReading leads with the finding that the toll option would provide the least benefit based on too many people being put off using the bridge by the toll. This is certainly a really interesting result from the data modelling. But perhaps they failed to read on to page 45, because this is where the big news lurks:
“The roads in South Oxfordshire crossed by the screenline shown in Figure 4-1 are predicted to carry less traffic across all options apart from the evening peak movement in Option 2”
So the preferred scheme – option one, a basic bridge for cars – would reduce the volume of traffic crossing the red line on the map above. Now, I actually put forward a case for why this might happen in my blog last year, where I speculated that Caversham residents (such as myself) might use the new bridge for quick access to the motorway network (I would!) to reach the midlands rather than meandering up to the M40 through South Oxfordshire. The report’s authors seem surprised by their results:
“The reduction may be due to longer distance traffic diverting away from the area”
They go on:
“Despite the overall reduction in traffic along the South Oxfordshire screenline, some roads forming the screenline are forecast to show a reduction in traffic whereas others show an increase… In absolute terms the differences are relatively low and range between -71 vehicles (B481 between A4130 and Rotherhithe Street, AM peak, Option 3, Southbound) and 34 vehicles (A4074 Red Lane between B471 and Icknield Rd, PM peak, Option 1, Eastbound).”
Then a win for Henley:
“The variations in traffic flows on South Oxfordshire roads are more noticeable in areas located closer to the New Crossing. The scheme is forecast to result in a reduction in traffic on the routes to, from and through Henley-on-Thames, particularly along the A4155 just south of the railway station reaching their highest in AM in Option 1 (-152 vehicles in the northbound direction and -128 vehicles in the southbound direction).”
And nothing doing in Sonning Common:
“The impact of the New Crossing on roads in Sonning Common is mixed with some routes are forecast to show an increase in traffic and with others to show a reduction in traffic. The changes vary across different options and time peaks… To provide an indication of the level of changes, AM Option 1 flow changes around Sonning Common are forecast to range between -17 and 60 vehicles and PM Option 1 flows changes range between -27 and 41 vehicles.”
“There is no evidence to suggest that the New Crossing may attract longer distance strategic movements from M40 and M4 to South Oxfordshire highway network.”
GetReading finishes with a “this thing ain’t over”-style quote from Oxfordshire’s leader. And it isn’t. The report also provides a cost estimate – £110 million. That’s going to take more work to secure, and apparently there isn’t even yet the funding in place to continue to work up the design for the scheme. Then there’s Oxfordshire remaining complaint – the fear of ensuing development north of the river. But clearly this report takes us a small but important step towards delivering a bridge that could benefit so many people. Today’s school children learn of the work of Copernicus disproving the Earth’s place at the centre of the universe, and now tomorrow’s can learn of the fine work of “WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff” in debunking the most long-standing local folklore.

This concise handbook combines sound landscape principles with practical advice on the conservation and enhancement of natural areas in and around managed forests. The book describes aesthetic issues and discusses the broader implications of forestry in the landscape. It goes on to establish an overall framework within which the abundant variety of landscape details may be situated. A number of useful examples show how forests can be planned to best reflect their surroundings, particularly in the planting and felling stages. Topics include the choice of species; the design of small woods, shelterbelts, and forest roadsides; and the planning, management, timing, and implementation of design projects. The book includes hundreds of illustrations, many in full color. The emphasis throughout is on the practical application of theoretical understanding.

Oliver W. R. Lucas, Forest District Manager, Forestry Commission, Coldharbour, Wareham.Review:
'A most lucid book on the design of forest landscape beautifully illustrated with numerous photographs of top quality diagrams that will be understood by foresters interested in producing forests of rare beauty not prejudicing the commercial stability ... a most readable book devoid of the
usual technical jargon often written in books of this magnitude. "The Design of Forest Landscapes" will become the authority for all owners, foresters, planners and Land Agents to use for many years to come.'
Association of Professional Foresters Newsletter, December 1991
'comprehensive books ... The text is packed with valuable principles and advice, at times usefully extracted and highlighted. It is profusely illustrated and much of the message is conveyed by the use of diagrams, sketches and photomontage.'
Esther Woodward, Forestry, Vol. 65, No. 3, 1992
`When this book landed on my desk I was immediately impressed with its presentation, a hefty and apparently thoroughly prepared volume profusely illustrated with high quality drawings and clear photographs. The layout is clear, with information accessible and easily assimilated. It is
refreshing to find a book on forest design which goes into significant detail on subjects beyond the initial early planning stages ... this book should nevertheless prove a very useful source of information and is a welcome supplement to the Forestry Commission's booklet "Forest Landscape Design

Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and senior staff at the U.S. embassy in Japan used personal email accounts for official business, an internal watchdog report said Tuesday -- making Kennedy the latest Obama administration official to run afoul of email security guidelines.
The State Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) report said it received reports concerning the use of private email accounts for official business, and identified instances where emails labeled "sensitive but unclassified" were sent from or received by personal email accounts.
“On the basis of these reports, OIG’s Office of Evaluations and Special Projects conducted a review and confirmed that senior embassy staff, including the Ambassador, used personal email accounts to send and receive messages containing official business. In addition, OIG identified instances where emails labeled Sensitive but Unclassified were sent from, or received by, personal email accounts," the report said.
The OIG stressed that department policy says employees generally should not use private accounts for official business, citing the risk of hacking and data loss.
"Employees are also expected to use approved, secure methods to transmit sensitive but unclassified information when available and practical," the report says.
The report, conducted between January and March, comes as the same OIG office reviews email use and policies across the department amid the controversy over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email and server. The FBI is reviewing the security of that server, with questions mounting over whether classified material was improperly shared or stored on the Clintons' private account.
Email issues aren't confined to the State Department. The IRS admitted Monday to a federal court there was a second personal email account -- set up under the name "Toby Miles" -- that Lois Lerner, the official at the heart of the Tea Party targeting scandal, used to conduct agency business.
But State Department messages can cover a range of sensitive and classified material involving America's allies and enemies. The OIG report does not appear to suggest a serious information breach. Sensitive but unclassified information can be shared outside of the government, though officials are required to use discretion. However, it puts further spotlight on the department's struggle to keep its information secure.
Kennedy, daughter of President John F. Kennedy, has been ambassador to Japan since November 2013.
The report also noted the economic section of the embassy – which works closely with the United States Trade Representative on the Trans-Pacific Partnership – was not maintaining centralized files, and the embassy has not enforced department or federal regulations on managing records.
“Officers have individual files based on their own filing systems, located in personal folders on a shared drive and in Microsoft Outlook email personal folders. These files are not accessible to anyone else and are not archived, retired, or retrievable,” the report said.
Asked about the report, a State Department official told The Associated Press that the embassy in Japan requires the use of official email accounts to conduct official business whenever possible, and indicated that Kennedy and other staff are acting on the inspector's recommendations.
"Ambassador Kennedy uses an official email address for official business. As the report reflects, in the past, like others at the mission, Ambassador Kennedy infrequently used her personal email account for official business," said the department official, who was not authorized to speak on the record and requested anonymity.
"This is allowed, so long as measures are taken to ensure that official records sent or received on personal email are preserved and other requirements are observed. The ambassador and embassy staff are implementing the OIG recommendations, including those regarding emails," the official said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The next item on Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie's agenda is the state's ailing health system, with the independent saying the Hodgman government has "lost control of the health crisis".
In a typically no-nonsense interview on ABC Radio on Monday morning, Senator Lambie addressed her deal with the federal and state governments to have Tasmania's historic housing debt waived, as well as her view on the Coalition's welfare policies.
"Now that we're all settled, we've got the housing done and done a few other things, I want to come straight back and ... from here on in we'll be working on health," she said.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"If that means that me and a staff member or whatever have to sit in those hospitals on Friday and Saturday nights and do whatever we've got to do to find out exactly what's going on and help fix that health system in Tasmania, [so be it]."
Senator Lambie said she had constituents who had been waiting for hip replacement surgery for more than two years.
"They're now addicted to painkillers so these problems are now leading in to bigger problems," she said.
"I just don't see any solutions coming out of the [state] government.
"If they can't find [a solution], then I'll go around them and I'll go and see if I can find [one] myself."
Senator Lambie also touched on her conditional support for the federal government's proposal to drug-test welfare recipients, saying she'd only back the idea if it was also applied to parliamentarians and if more drug rehabilitation services were established across Australia.

"Don't inflict on others what you won't inflict on yourself," she said. "It's as simple as that."
"It's no good cutting someone's money down if you can't find them the services or get them into rehab when they need it, because that's just penalising them for nothing."
On the cashless welfare card - which would quarantine 80 per cent of unemployment and welfare payments so that they can't be spent on alcohol, illicit substances or gambling - Senator Lambie said she had been encouraged by the results of the trials at three sites around the country.
"[South Australian trial site] Ceduna was only 900 people at the time that it went on the card," she said.
"But I watched the local supermarket in that town triple its earnings - I think it was in about three months or four months, because what it meant was people were going in and they were buying food.
"The kids were going to school with lunch, they were having breakfast."
Federal Parliament resumes on Tuesday following the winter break.
