Recently, I was once again engaged with persons having memory loss and their support partners. They were participating in Mayo Clinic's 54-hour HABIT (Healthy Actions to Benefit Independence and Thinking) program.
A striking feature of spending significant time with people in a life altering situation is how much there is to learn and to grow from the experience.
Olivia Ames Hoblitzelle, in her book 'Ten Thousand Joys, Ten Thousand Sorrows", wrote: "If one holds even remotely, the possibility that our lives unfold in some innate order, then we are here to learn, work through, and hopefully transform the difficulties that come our way."
The folks coming to HABIT attend with an eagerness to get the answers, learn the right way to do things, and fix the problems with which they come. They arrive with anticipation and hope. The program trains specific skills that take advantage of the fact that procedural memory is preserved in persons with mild memory loss.
And because transferring a new skill to a habit takes time, participants practice and repeat the use of a new tool. This tool becomes a sort of surrogate memory in their daily life. Support partners are involved as well, recognizing that they will need to reinforce the new skills once the program is over.
Yet as the days go by, participants often realize that it may be the more intangible aspects of the program that are most challenging, unsettling, and possibly transforming. In an intense 2-week program, there's no escaping the changes that have occurred in the person they love with cognitive impairment.
For the support partners (or caregivers), it may be the first time they are truly confronted by the reality of the situation. Until now, it may have been easy to put aside the subtle changes and hold tightly to a sense of normalcy, for this is how we cope.
The intangibles that I speak of are really about being on a journey of grief and loss — perhaps moving from denial to acceptance for the first time. I say first time because caregivers move in and out of denial throughout the caregiving journey. And with this shift comes disbelief and distress, followed by periods of anger and frustration; emotions that are likely concealing grief.
Each support partner or caregiver will have his or her own way of dealing with what is occurring, but for many, opening up to this grief can be daunting. I believe what is often at the core of caregiver grief is letting go of the person they once knew — the ambiguous loss of having the person physically there, but in the deeper sense feeling a profound vacancy.
Caregivers in HABIT, as certainly all caregivers over time, come to recognize there are no perfect solutions; clear answers rarely exist and there's no fix. This reality can be frightening. But when it's acknowledged, more lessons emerge. Some caregivers learn to see the good in ambiguity, or at least tolerate ambiguity.
They begin to find contentment in good-enough-for-now solutions and believe they're doing the best they can. Many caregivers learn to let go of what they cannot control with less guilt about not being able to make things better. They can find value and a renewed connection in a less than perfect relationship.
Over time, some caregivers discover how to live more fully in the moment more often, rather than in the past or future. Caregivers learn that there can be more comfort in facing fear and anxiety and sadness, rather than denying these emotions. For many, they learn that in challenging times human connectedness is their lifeline, and that meaning and hope are most easily found in the company of others.

As a caregiver, I have purchased a camera and placed it in 3 positions where he usually is and can access it from my Iphone...great and can see also how he interacts with caregivers during the 7 hours a day they are there. It cost $50.00 thru Amazon...
What to do now for the caregiver once the Alzheimer patient has died?
My brother feels disconnected from the siblings of his spouse now that she has died. They seem to be finished with him and no longer care to stay connected. Is this normal?
My prayers are with each and every one of you. I wondered if I should post a comment because my situation is somewhat deifferent in that it is not my mate like many of you whom are suffering the loss of the love of your partner of soooo many years. God bless your love. My name is Linda. I care for my dad. He is 90 years old. He is legally blind and cannot hear but now he has been suffering dimentia for 2 years. He lives with me. I have 2 siblings and pretty much that is all I can say. My daughters help me but they are getting very burned out. I lost my job of 10 years 1 1/2 years ago and went back to school to get my teaching degree. It was not an option. I would not be able to support myself if I started another job at minimum wage. I go to school when I send him to a place that cares for him 2days a week and my daughter helps me the other 2days. I come home from school and continue caring for my dad. I cannot send him to a nursing home. I promised him and my mom (died 2001 with supra nuclear palsy)that I would care for him. I am trying very hard to stay above everthing. Sometimes I cry at night because my heart hurts so much for my dad. I want to make his life more fruitful and worth living. I do not know how. I have searched for ways and end up at a dead end. He loves people but because of his vision and hearing he keeps to himself and just sleeps. I sit with him when I am not cooking etc., I want more for him. I just need guidance, ideas and advice
I was curious if any of you have found any apps for your iPhone/iPad to help manage the care of a close family member living with Alzheimer's? With the new capabilities of smartphones, I thought there must be something to help my family out, but I haven't been able to find anything.
I'm a Gerontologist with a 93 year-old Dad who suffers from vascular dementia.
I wrote this blog post to acquaint people with what good Alzheimer's and dementia care is like.
Does anybody find that it is incredibly difficult whilst coping with the caring end of things, physical and mental, for a parent, if a lone sibling takes an attitude that you are looking for trouble and that the parent could pay for the care in a home or in their home,as if it is as good for a person with severe dementia but with very good recognition of faces to be in an institutional home
Thank you Susan for the suggestion of a white board, I am not sure what it is but I will find one for Lee to use. I asked his doctor what he will do to help when Lee hits the anger stage I grew up in a violent home and cannot deal with extreme anger/violence. So he is ex-military and that is where he will be placed when the time comes. There are some things a caregiver cannot do and should feel no guilt about the solution chosen. It certainly affects marriages. Blessing's to you and your loved one's Susan. Barbara
Sorry,end of previous post.
Never stop looking forward,look back only at the memories.
My husband and I were one of the couples Blessed to attend HABIT last November.It was in the midst of my diagnosis of MCI in July of 2010.For over one year of "living in the dark with it" the denial,and frustration.It seems we feel more comfortable "in the dark", nothing to confront that way, it seemed easier I guess, like it was going to "go away" I took a suggestion from one of my sisters, "go to Mayo Clinic," so I looked up Mayo Clinic, and found Clinical Trials. HABIT happened, and everything Angela speaks of was there, most all of our truths, and answers. We found counseling, great diet, yoga, my husband got support, we came to (I especially) a point of awareness we did not have, a realization that "Our lives had changed forever",and I say "our lives" because I watch him struggle everyday with my changes,as slow as they are, or as little as they are. We were taught stress relief, great brain information,they helped us to realize "to Plan for the worst, but Hope for the best".
We continue to plan for the summer and then hope for the fall, I know what this is my father passed after 9 years with it, but we pray everyday, maybe we will be given one year. Thank you Angela and HABIT for bringing us out of the dark,(as hard as that was to confront) and I pray, that everyone who is affected by this demon can have faith and trust in their care partners, and their partners. Never stop looking forward,look back,
Barbara, my husband has Parkinson's related dementia - he was diagnosed with Parkinson's around 12 years ago. The dementia started 2 years ago. You might want to get a White Board to remind him of appointments, other things he needs to do. My husband has gotten a lot worse in the last few months. He is now going to an adult day care facility so that I can work, but is very rebellious about it. He doesn't think he needs to be there, and he resents the loss of freedom. This has damaged our marriage, and I grieve for the loss of the man I married. He is angry because I am too controlling, and I am worried because he is on his own on the days he refuses to go to the Center. My heart is breaking.
Sally, I feel for you. I have been taking care of my Mom for 8 years, full time. I have gotten to the point where this "new person" is Mom. When I think of my Mom before this disease is when I really miss her too!! I completely understand you missing your husband! I lost my brother 3 years ago...I had been taking care of him..he had congestive heart failure...after we got him better from that, he died suddenly of a brain aneurysm..he was just 43. Even though my Mom can't really say much or see me , sometimes she does and says "hi darlin"...makes my day. So, Im sorry for you to lose your husband...we know that having the one we love near us, even in a reduced state is better than not at all. One day at a time from here...lots of tears...and that's okay!! People say things because they are trying so hard to make you feel better. Like a quick fix. There is no quick fix when you lose a loved one. Be patient with them...and with yourself and bless you for taking care of your husband.
Hi-My husband has been diagnosed with Brain Atrophy-1 year now.Some of th symptoms of Alzheimers are similar to Brain Atrophy. I would like to know if there is a newsletter for his disease. I know there is no cure and no medication's to help. He tried the alzheimer's drug and was violently ill. It is also linked to Parkinson's disease. That is how we found out what my husband had. He was walking on his toes. What do I have to look out for to help care for him? He is still ok for now. Forgetful/memory are his first signs.Thank you for any help sent to me. I would also like to hear from other wives who dealt with this disease.
Dealing continually with a disease can drain a caregiver of energy.A way to deal with one's anger at one's situation is through the practice of 'rage reduction'-ie. daring to express one's anger and other strong emotions through beating a pillow or slicing the air with one's fists.After doing this,one can return to one's caregiving function.Otherwise,the caregiver can become depressed.
For Sally, I am sorry for your loss, I don't know you, but I can understand your heartbreak, and because of that, I feel the connection. The loses come so fast, you can't keep up with them, you are still greiving the loss of 2 months ago, let alone the current situation. I will say a prayer for you that you will be comforted during this time.
Thank you Tom on your thoughts on greiving deeper, you worded it very well. If I get stuck in my depression of my situation, I need to look deeper to see if something needs to be "let go of". Thank you for that insight. As I read the comments, I thank you all for your vulnerbility, I can learn from each of you. God Bless You All.
Lord Jesus, help us all the troubled and the caregivers alike...
My husband died one month ago and I miss him so much. He was in the mid-stages of Alzheimer's, but died unexpectedly at home of heart failure. After 8+ years of caring for him at home and working, I had just retired to become a full-time caregiver. Now he's gone.
I was so focused on being a caregiver that I'd forgotten what he was like before he started down the road with Alzheimer's. But now I remember and I'm grieving the loss of what we had together even though I was losing more of him every day.
People tell me it's a blessing and I should feel relieved to have him go this way, but he was still my husband and I miss him.
I agree with you Angela that denial continues on throughout the course of this disease. My wife Julie was diagnosed 2 years ago at the age of 57. As losses continue, I handle some with no problem. Then, about once a year I seem to hit a spot where I get depressed out of proportion to the loss. I have learned that those moments require me to go deeper in my grief and loss until it is clear that something else - much deeper than the surface loss I see in Julie, needs to be "let go". Last fall my wife started confabulating for the first time. It took 2 months of prayerful consideration before I could name the deeper loss I was grieving. This was the first time in our married life when I could not talk to her about something significant that was affecting our relationship. She is unaware she confabulates and talking to her about it is not helpful. I suddenly realized that I was now becoming more of her caregiver and less her husband. That up to that point, we have been on this Alzheimer's journey together and having similar experiences. And now, we were no longer having the same experience. That she is dying and I can't go with her. Once I was able to name that loss, my depression lifted. I fully expect to have more experiences like that. I think denial and acceptance is ongoing throughout this disease.
Hi & thank you all for your very helpful comments, stories, and tips. Thank you also, of course, for the article. My husband is 61 and I am 47. He was diagnosed just a year & 1/2 ago. A mental health hospital administrator, he took early retirement at 56, thank God so very much! We were able to travel to Peru and have our foreign exchange daughter & family treat us to incredible & wonderous time there! We were having so much relational difficulty during & after the trip we sought divorce. I will forever be grateful we found out that the core problem was /is this disease. Still married and just 12 years of marriage June 10, I still struggle to follow wise advice like getting power of attorney. Since he seems to live in denial, it is so easy to procrastinate. Thank you for encouraging me to move forward in grace AND realities in this process.
I can go back in my mind to 10 years when I noticed some things he would forget, but let it pass, then when he had a doctor's appointment he told them he couldn't remember things but they passed it off as we all forget. Yes, he know my name and tells me how much he likes living here and that I take such good care of him, and he asks for treats as I purchase oat bars etc for him, good and healthy. He is loving and kind, he says please and thank you, tell me he has to go to the toilet. And when we are dressing I compliment him on doing a good job. The Scripture I rely on more and more is Phil 4:19 But my God shall supply all you need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Yes my needs are many to be kind, patient, loving, helpful etc, sometimes I fail and tell him and God I am sorry. Usually when I have to repeat and repeat and he still doesn't understand. Praise God for a loving family that helps me as I don't drive so they take us wherever we need to go. Some days I miss just going window shopping but know I can't. While I grocery shop they sit with him outside the Manager's office and he has instructed the Bakery to give him 2 chocolate chip cookies, his favorite. All at Church are so kind to him and talk to him and he dearly loves the children, yes I tell the parents what is wrong so they will understand and if we run into a problem of him being friendly with a child at the store I immediately tell the parents so they won't worry. He is 84. I 79 soon.
I've never added remarks before, but this article and the previous comments led me to do this.
My husband, age 55, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's three years ago tomorrow. We knew that something was not right several years before, but couldn't pinpoint the problem. This disease has changed our lives and dreams for the future. I have to work as he is no longer able to work. We sold our home and I am trying to seek employment in another city so we can move to be near our children and new granddaughter. I know that God has a plan for our lives and all will work out. It is becoming increasingly difficult to explain and reexplain our plans while trying to be patient.
He still functions well, and tries to be a part of all decisions, but all these variable situations are confusing and leaves me drained. It is good to know that I am not the only one experiencing these same issues and feelings. I have committed to do my best for him at any expense. He is the only man I have truly loved. We will celebrate 36 years of marriage this summer. I plan to find the "joy" in each day and focus on the positive and what we can do - not what we can't. Thank you for sharing your stories.
There is a must read book called One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I checked it out from the library and it has changed my life. It does not pertain to the Alziemer's situation specifically, but everyone will find it pertains to themselves and their life. A new aquaintance told me after talking to her about my mom that I MUST READ THIS BOOK. I think you should too. God Bless!
I too have lost the dream of retiring and growing old with my husband Jim who was diagnosied at 58. I was fortunate with being able to retire early and take care of him, but the dreams we had of traveling together and spending our winters in Fla or Arizona are gone. He has had this awful disease going on 12 years. He still functions pretty well and knows my name but does not know I'm his wife. Some days are better then others depending on his mood but I'm lucky because he is still the sweet, sensitive, caring man I married 35 years ago, even if he doesn't know who I am. I just pray that I can take care of him and be as good to him as I believe he would be to me if the roles were reversed. Jim is now 70 and I just turned 62 and my memories are just that-my memories not his. I know this is not our plan but God's so I try to accept it even though it is very hard! My advice would be to hang in there and know you are not alone.
I solved the medication problem with a MED-Q pillbox. It flashes and beeps and makes foregttting or double dosing impssible. It works great for my Mom
I can relate with Jane and Pat of losing the dream of the retirement years. My husband will be 63 next week -he was diagnosied at 57. He went from being a Criminal Investigator with the Sheriff Dept.to someone I have to led by the hand to get in to the doctor's office. Our dreams were torn away- and our day to day life changed. My oldest daughter and her 17 year son moved in with us so she could be with my husband during the day while I work. I love her , but Andy and I have been alone - just us for so long- I had to adjust to her being there all the time, as well as the drama that goes on between her and my 17 year old grandson. Altho my husband has changed so much- I still love him deeply-we may no longer have the sexual part of loving, but the light in his eyes when I come home from work makes me love him even more. I know he will never be the same but I live day to day- dealing with him - whatever he needs. I will be 62 in December and have deceided to retire and spend just as much time with him as possible. I know our time together will come to an end sooner that I would like it to. But I will love him and provide for him just as long as I can. I have come to know I can't "FIX" what is wrong and try not to worry about things that hasn't happen and to live day by day. I have to maintain a positive outlook for him- I want him to be happy as much as possible - I keep telling him as long as we have each other - nothing else matters.
Your comments are always helpful . I need those reminders. One of my rules for living is "Enjoy and celebrate the NOW now." I've written it several places where I am sure to see it thru out the day. Of course I still revert to wishing my husband could be like he use to be, and have my moments of feeling anxious about the future, but I know we can also have joy and appreciate most moments.
My grief comes out in the form of anger most of the time. My husband revisits past memories over and over weekly, daily,and sometimes several times of day. But this mornings conversation is totally lost. Consequently I repeat the morning conversation. This irritates me and my voice shows it. He listens to the 3rd rendition like it's all new information. I'm still working as it is necessary. Time is precious and to waste it on this rehash is tough.
We will not have the retirement years we had dreamed about either. I know he is becoming worse as the months pass and I cannot bear to look to the future but just take one day at a time.
My mother has been in a nursing home with the big A for 8 year now. She still knows the family and friends but lives in the past most of the time. I know that I have already lost her but try to keep the person in her body happy and content which is hard since she still wants to go home.
I have found that gentle yoga ending in meditation brings me to a point of contentment for what is. Mine ehas been a longggggggg, slow journey of 11 years with my mother. Knowing WE as caregivers are behind you and sense your sadness hopefully will also bring you peace. Hugsssss
I have a situation where my spouse just will not listen to any one,including DR.,children or even in home health care,she walk'es to a house from the past 10 to 15 time's a day no matter what time it is.No one has been able to stop her.
Thank you for this article, it hits me deep, I believe I am facing my grief head on, I am grieving the loss of what was suppose to be, when we could take life slower, enjoy travel the beginning of our retirement years, what we both worked hard at acheiving, and now I need to face letting go of our dream, that which will never transpire. My husband who is 53 now resides in a Nursing Home. I miss him, even though the last 4 years,were EXTREMELY HARD,and I didn't know if I would survive it, he was at home, when I see him, "I try to be in the moment with him" I long for that connection we once so much enjoyed, but I have to accept our new relationship, if I don't, I belive I will miss the blessing our faithful God has for us. I am doing the best I can, and I need to find that peace and contentment, of my new reality. any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you and God Bless.

Glad I Was Spontaneous
"I have K-Swiss shoes for tennis, but I was skeptical about purchasing these because I always go for Brooks for running. I loved the look of these shoes, so I went for it. While I still will probably not use these for running per se (thus the 4 stars vs. 5), I just wore these all day in a HUGE convention center and they were excellent on my feet. Even better, I received lots of compliments on how cool they look! I ordered up to a 9.5 (as I do for Brooks) instead of a 9 and that was the correct call for me."

Flashy feet
"I bought these to help with my feet getting sore and same with my heels. I also like to go barefoot and liked what they said about them being smooth inside. I've worn them quite a bit and they do fit a bit wider than most tennis shoes for a size 8. They are smooth inside and didn't hurt my feet. Seems like the heel could use more cushion but overall they didn't bother me and let me 90 minutes without stopping. I might get some gel orthotics to place inside but would have preferred not adding the extra cost."

Will my steam/dry iron stick to fabric when spray starch is used while ironing?No. The steam/dry iron will not stick to the fabric when ironing with starch.  Selecting the correct temperature will prevent fabric from sticking to the iron.
What is the recommended voltage for this steam/dry iron?The recommended voltage for this steam/dry iron is 120V.
Water spotting occurs when I am using the "Jet of Steam" function on this steam/dry iron. How can I fix this issue?The "Jet of Steam" function only operates properly when using the High temperature setting. Water spotting will occur in lower settings
because the steam/dry iron is not hot enough to change the water to steam. To prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate after jetting steam, allow approximately 5 seconds of interval time before re-pumping steam.
The steam/dry iron is emitting a white powdery substance while ironing, especially when using the Jet of Steam function. How can I fix this issue?The powder or particles are impurities and minerals found in water. These particles can be brushed off  the clothing or fabric.
Sometimes my clothes become discolored or marked after they have been ironed. How can I fix this issue?Set the temperature correctly according to the fabric being ironed. If there is cleaning residue on the fabric, the clothes may become brown after being ironed.
Is it necessary to use distilled water in my steam/dry iron?Using regular water may cause build up of calcium or lime in the iron's steam vents. We suggest using distilled water to prevent this build up from occurring.
I can no longer power on this steam/dry iron. How can I fix this issue?Check to make sure that the power cord is securely inserted into the wall outlet. If it is connected properly, try another power outlet.
How can I use the spray function on this steam/dry iron?The spray feature is useful mainly when trying to remove stubborn wrinkles and where extra dampening is needed. This function may be used for steam or dry ironing. To use the spray function simply press the "Spray Mist" button whenever spray is desired. If spray does not come out immediately, keep pressing until it comes. To get a finer spray, press the button vigorously and to get a more powerful spray, press the button more slowly.

Comments about this product:
Prehistoric Predators is the latest installment in the ever growing library of Dinosaur Videos released by Discovery Ch. This production would have rated 5 stars had it not been for the inclusion of What Killed The Mega Beasts. That feature,WKMB,was a fine work and very well done. But it sells under it's own title separately and, when last I checked, was still available in the Discovery Video catalog listings. This practice of "padding" a new release older material seems less than fair to a serious student/collector of dinosauria. I am sure that the added material is a bargain to the First Time Buyer. But it is more of a sting to the long term faithful customer.
The other two programs are up to the Discovery Channel's usual spectacular quality. There was never a better use for a big screen TV than watching a herd of photo-realistic dinosaurs march across the eons and into our homes.
These computer generated dreams come true are as close to time machines as we will ever see. And they are so much safer than a game reserve full of real,living dinosaurs ever could be. Between the entertainment value and the multilevel exposure to most of the natural sciences all blended into one program, the sheer size of the ideas and information far outstrips the size of the resurrected titans we ogle as they blink back at us in digital replay.As a life time student of this subject, as well as a commercial artist, these programs never cease to inspire and challenge my imagination as our long lost past strides before me with impossible realism.
The story of prehistoric life as it blossomed over the earth is a an ever expanding panorama that by it's very nature will be improved and deepened for generations to come! There has never been a better time to see and study the uncountable lost times and creatures presented in DVDs like Prehistoric Predators of the Past.Even when ideas in one DVD differ,or contradict those seen in some other program, the learning continues for everyone of all ages who has eyes to see and ears to hear! And with honest information,open learning,and clear judgment,we can reach beyond simple opinions,ever changing theories,and dry facts. The perfect blend of all this can be WISDOM!
The study of dinosaurs, in and of itself may not change the world.But the sciences included in that study encompass the entire universe and the fabric of time itself. It is that myriad of subjects that could just alight the next inspired mind that will find just one branch of new truth! And that is what could CHANGE THE WORLD.

Our Elf on the Shelf, whose name is Server (I have no idea why) likes to have a little fun when he visits. So much so that my two kids can remember just about everything Server did last year. We thought we'd share a few of our favorite hiding places just in case there is another Elf out there who needs a little creativity to keep his family laughing. Our Elf has learned that he's got to clean up whatever mess he makes so he's not too fond of messy pranks. He does have a hard act to follow after last year…I hope he's up for the challenge.
Our Elf on the Shelf took a bath in our cotton balls…complete with a rubber ducky.
His E.T. impersonation
Elf and Barbie say "I Do"
Fun with the photocopier. At least he didn't show us his backside. Maybe this year.
Helping with homework. Things got a little messy with all those stickers.
Our dog, Buster, and Server worked together to make our screen saver a little more festive.
Nothing like a little game of cards with his pals. Wonder what they were betting? Maybe candy canes?
Our Elf on the Shelf isn't feeling so well. Probably ate too many cookies or partied too much during that card game the night before.
Toasting marshmallows
Our Elf on the Shelf toilet papered the tree. At least he could have thrown away the empty roll.

This deep, richly flavored chili has enough caffeine to keep you awake—literally. (Bear this in mind when you're serving it; use decaffeinated espresso if you or your guests are caffeine sensitive or reserve it for lunch or early dinner.) Serve this with rice, a stack of warm tortillas, or tortilla chips, some crumbled queso fresco or sour cream, and parsley or cilantro.
Other beans you can use: Earthy-flavored beans that can stand up to the other flavors—pinto, kidney, or dried soybeans—work best. Recipe from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.

I was there last night at Convention Center. It was magical, wonderful. We had 5th row seats. Incredible show. Secretly laughed when I saw Johnny Depp and Sean Penn after all reveals here.

I don't understand the fuss about Chrissy – she's not at all pretty (she's her biggest fan though) and sounds rough.

Insulin and Diabetes ManagementGlucose (Sugar) Monitoring
Monitoring glucose (sugar) levels in urine or blood has always been part of the insulin users' daily routine. The first home tests involved boiling urine over an alcohol burner and observing color change after adding a chemical reagent. Later kits replaced the alcohol and liquid chemicals with reactive tablets which required no exterior heat source. By the 1960s color changing testing strips were developed which reacted directly with urine.
Today, most testing is done using blood glucose, rather than urine glucose. Blood glucose testing was not possible outside of the laboratory until the 1970s when the first test strips and digital blood glucose monitoring devices became available for home use.

Einhorn's Fermentation Saccharometer for the Estimation of Sugar in Urine
- Description (Brief)
- Fermentation saccharometers were used to estimate the amount of sugar in urine and diagnose diabetes. A small amount of yeast was mixed with 10cc of urine and then poured into the bulb of the saccharometer. The apparatus was then tilted slightly to allow the liquid to flow into the graduated tube and force the air out. If sugar was present in the urine, alcoholic fermentation would begin. The carbon dioxide gas created in the fermenting process would rise to the top of the closed tube and force the level of liquid down. The changed level of the liquid corresponded to the approximate quantity of sugar present. The percentage of sugar could be read off the graduated scale on the closed tube side of the apparatus.
- This device was developed by Dr. Max Einhorn, a gastroenterologist.

Skip to comments.Sum Ting Wong: Learning from the San Francisco Crash Reporting Fiasco
Posted on 07/14/2013 6:36:05 AM PDT by Kaslin
Youve probably heard about the airline crash reporting fiasco. Last Friday during a live midday newscast, KTVU TV in San Francisco reported as fact that the names of the pilots on board the Asiana airlines flight that recently crashed in that city were Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, and Bang Ding Ow.
Shortly thereafter it was determined that the information, which the television station allegedly acquired from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), was not factual, but instead a racially insensitive joke. Within less than thirty-six hours after the incident not only had KTVUs management apologized (multiple times), but so also had the NTSB, admitting that a summer intern had acted outside the scope of his authority and had quite intentionally provided false information to the news agency.
The damage done in this situation is probably incalculable at this point. Has KTVU TV, or any of its employees, sustained damage to their credibility? Will the television station be sued for their insensitivity, or might the NTSB be sued by KTVU? Nobody wins in any of these scenarios, yet they are all plausible.
Instead of merely laughing at the incident or being offended or angry Americans should stop and consider what is to be learned from it. Even local small businesses and non-profit organizations should consider how they, too, could be mislead by a government agency or drawn in to a controversy quite un-intentionally.
Its convenient to blame this all on a summer intern. But we are talking about the NTSB, an agency of our government that we trust in times of crisis to investigate such things, and we presume that the information they give us is accurate and will be helpful.
So once again, trust in our U.S. federal government has been violated. It fits a pattern. Its similar to the U.S. Department of Justice, an agency that we trust to investigate and prosecute crimes fairly and equitably, having spent our tax dollars to fund protestors at the trial of George Zimmerman. It falls in line with the IRS using its power to target and harass religious and educational groups who articulate opinions that are different from President Obamas. It is despicable and it is should not be tolerated.
But what would happen if your place of business (or your school or church or other non-profit organization) received a call or a visit from somebody purporting to represent a government agency, and that person was conveying some sort of vital information? Would you know how to handle that appropriately? Would you be prepared to fact-check it and verify it?
What if that person was making an inquiry demanding to search the premises, investigate personnel, or some such thing would you and your associates know to demand to see a search warrant or some other appropriate court documents? If a federal agency like the NTSB can mislead an entire big-city news outlet, then a local, regional, state or federal government agency could easily manipulate most local small businesses and non-profit operations. Its sad, but it is our reality Americans are in many ways on the run from their government, and we do ourselves no favors by pretending otherwise.
When agents of government cant be trusted to follow the laws of the land, it becomes more difficult to expect lawfulness from those whom government is supposed to serve. Hopefully a critical mass of Americans will soon wake up and began demanding better government. But for now this is the government that many of us have asked for, while many others have passively allowed it to ensue. The wiser among us will be honest about this, and take appropriate precautions.
BaBa Booey??
Liberals are too uptight. They need to take a few tokes and chill out.
You have to have a sense of humor to survive today. These pilot names were as funny as Robert DeNiro's list of terrorists on Saturday Night Live.
...and then there is this
Take the delay in implementing 0bamaDontCase, please.
Humor is destroyed by overanalysis.
It was a classic prank and a hilarious one.
All the navel-gazing needs to stop on both sides.
KTVU is by the way a very leftist Fox affiliate.
Most of them would consider this to be very funny.
That does not mean that they don't take this accident seriously. They will analyze it down to the smallest detail and modify any faults in their own procedures that are exposed by this accident.
But they will all the while make graveyard jokes.
The author of this story is silly.
"The person actually guilty of the hoax is probably sitting at a desk in the KTVU newsroom eating popcorn."
I've seen where the same list of names had already appeared on Twitter. So the real problem is someone at KTVU tried to get away with a simple Web search rather than go to the proper sources....I suspect.
Sum Ting Wong
Wi Tu Lo
"Ho Lee Fuk
Bang Ding Ow
...and reported far and wide by that intrepid reporterette, Sum Dum Ho.
Pilot Wai Tu Loh was clutching the yoke upon impact (how long was the stickshaker on before then?).
This is the first I've heard of this report. If a broadcaster did something like that, I find it in very poor taste.
There are lots of Tings Wong. Not just with story.
Moe, at Bart's suggestion, asks his clientele: "I'm looking for 'Amanda Hughankiss' ", with the expected results.
I can do the calculation
Media integrity before getting punked .001 and after .001 so with the rounding the damages are approximately....
.001 cents give or take a nickle.
LOL!!! This is so out of Atlas Shrugged: the scene where Dagny Taggart confesses over the airwaves that she was the mistress of Hank Rearden, and proudly so. She's only cut off when she explains why she revealed the secret.
man who fly upside down have clack up
Suspect you're right. Leftist journalists are stupid and lazy.
My bad: KTVU Channel 2 News is the Bay Area's #1 TV News Station. They broadcast from 2 Jack London Square, Oakland, California 94607. A FOX affiliate.
Now here's the weird thing....I heard it when it was first broadcast, hours before, and it went right over my head.
Of course reading news is not my life's work.
Am I "racially insensitive" if I still laugh when reading those names?
If that really was a "summer intern" who provided that "information," somebody better hire him quickly. He thinks pretty quickly on his feet.
By the way, I knew before I had finished reading the first name the first time, "Sum Ting Wong," that it was a joke.
Austin Hill creator of this article got it wong.
The names originated at KTVU, the station called the NTSB and the person there confirmed the names. The names did not originate from NTSB but from KTVU.
Howie Felterbush....ROFLMAO!!!
Now we should revisit TWA flight 800 with regard to trusting the NTSB, right?
It was probly a conspiracy on many levels, lots of people could have caught/stopped it had they been moved to, but they weren't.
Now everyones panties are in a wad.
That sh!t is funny, right there.
Yup, they went from Cox to Fox.
"Reporting from KTVU, this is Heywood Jablowme, back to Richard Hertz and Anita Boner in our studio."
Moe: (answering the phone) Flaming Moe's.
Bart: Uh, yes, I'm looking for a friend of mine. Last name Jass. First name Hugh.
Moe: Uh, hold on, I'll check. (calling) Hugh Jass! Somebody check the men's room for a Hugh Jass!
Man: Uh, I'm Hugh Jass.
Moe: Telephone. (hands over the receiver)
Hugh: Hello, this is Hugh Jass.
Bart: (surprised) Uh, hi.
Hugh: Who's this?
Bart: Bart Simpson.
Hugh: Well, what can I do for you, Bart?
Bart: Uh, look, I'll level with you, Mister. This is a crank call that sort of backfired, and I'd like to bail out right now.
Hugh: All right. Better luck next time. (hangs up) What a nice young man.
The final touch!! LOL!
Was the reporter Ron Burgandy? He would read anything off the teleprompter too.
sounds like the fox station in miami. left wing big time.
The moral of the story is simple. The media is largely populated by lazy, ignorant people who for some reason think they're the intellectual superiors of the rest of us. Don't trust any supposed facts without first verifying on your own. And when they're providing their opinion, consider that these are the same types who are duped easier than a fourth grader.
There would be Holy Hell to pay for were this Ethiopian Airlines and the play on words were for AFRICAN names, and everybody knows it. Double standard. Protected classes vs. non-protected classes in America. The former are Blacks and Hispanics; the latter, Whites and Asians. Primarily due to social achievement levels. Which is furthermore reverberates envy and class hatred by the 'entitlement classes' toward the others. This encourages "open season" mentality. I don't find it particularly amusing—what with deaths of human beings involved. Big government sucks!
And much of American so-called "journalism" these days.
The media has no credibility, and this is a good example of of why. I've never laughed so hard in my life. There should be a Nobel Prize category for pranks this good.
If my own local area tv news stations are any indication, Local tv news staff are probably among the stupidest people on the planet.
I laughed my sox off.
Americans should stop and consider what is to be learned from it.
Nothing to be learned here. I've been aware of the caliber of the brain power of folks dancing across the little screen since Wally Cronkite retired his mustache brush.
So Sowry, reporting.
Cults like Scientology and Mormonism hardly fall in the same category as Korean Americans and the Pope of the Catholic church.
It's on youtube. She says "Ho Li FOOK" very carefully.
I heard a radio quiz show winner give his name as "Al Kaholic".
That intern has a great future in Hollywood!
Or maybe Saturday Night Live.
Ummmm. That's not quite the way I heard it when I was a pre-teen...
get your mind out of the gutter :)

The Firefighter's Prayer
When I'm called to duty god
wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age
Help me to embrace a little child
before it is too late
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert
to hear the weakest shout
and quickly and efficiently
to put the fire out
I want to fill my calling and
to give the best in me
to guard my neighbor and
protect his property
And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife

Infectious endocarditis is an infection of the lining of the heart chambers and heart valves that is caused by bacteria, fungi, or other infectious substances.
See also:
Endocarditis - infectious
Endocarditis is usually a result of a blood infection. Bacteria or other infectious substance can enter the bloodstream during certain medical procedures, including dental procedures, and travel to the heart, where it can settle on damaged heart valves. The bacteria can grow and may form infected clots that break off and travel to the brain, lungs, kidneys, or spleen.
Most people who develop infectious endocarditis have underlying heart disease or valve problems.
However, an organism commonly found in the mouth, Streptococcus viridans, is responsible for about 50% of all bacterial endocarditis cases. This is why dental procedures increase your chances for developing this condition. Such procedures are especially risky for children with congenital heart conditions. As a result, it is common practice for children with some forms of congenital heart disease and adults with certain heart-valve conditions to take antibiotics before any dental work.
Other common culprits include Staphylococcus aureus and enterococcus. Staphylococcus aureus can infect normal heart valves, and is the most common cause of infectious endocarditis in intravenous drug users.
Less common causes of infectious endocarditis include pseudomonas, serratia, and candida.
The following increase your chances for developing endocarditis:
Intravenous drug users are also at risk for this condition, because unsterile needles can cause bacteria to enter the bloodstream.
Symptoms of endocarditis may develop slowly (subacute) or suddenly (acute). Fever is the classic symptom and may persist for days before any other symptoms appear.
Other symptoms may include:
The health care provider may hear abnormal sounds, called murmurs, when listening to your heart with a stethoscope.
A physical exam may also reveal:
A history of congenital heart disease raises the level of suspicion. An eye exam may show bleeding in the retina a central area of clearing. This is known as Roth's spots.
The following tests may be performed:
You will be admitted to the hospital so you can receive antibiotics through a vein. Long-term, high-dose antibiotic treatment is needed to get rid of the bacteria. Treatment is usually given for 4 - 6 weeks, depending on the specific type of bacteria. Blood tests will help your doctor choose the best antibiotic.
Surgery may be needed to replace damaged heart valves.
Early treatment of bacterial endocarditis generally has a good outcome. Heart valves may be damaged if diagnosis and treatment are delayed.
Call your health care provider if you note the following symptoms during or after treatment:
The American Heart Association recommends preventive antibiotics for people at risk for infectious endocarditis before:
Antibiotics are more likely to be recommended those with the following risk factors:
Continued medical follow-up is recommended for people with a previous history of infectious endocarditis.
Persons who use intravenous drugs should seek treatment for addiction. If this is not possible, use a new needle for each injection, avoid sharing any injection-related paraphernalia, and use alcohol pads before injecting to reduce risk.
