This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumor is a disease in which abnormal cells form in the tissue covering the ovary.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumors have abnormal cells that may become cancer, but usually do not. This disease usually remains in the ovary. When disease is found in one ovary, the other ovary should also be checked carefully for signs of disease.
The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries make eggs and female hormones. Anatomy of the female reproductive system. The organs in the female reproductive system include the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.
Signs and symptoms of ovarian low malignant potential tumor include pain or swelling in the abdomen.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumor may not cause early signs or symptoms. If you do have signs or symptoms, they may include the following:
These signs and symptoms may be caused by other conditions. If they get worse or do not go away on their own, check with your doctor.
Tests that examine the ovaries are used to detect (find), diagnose, and stage ovarian low malignant potential tumor.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
Patients with ovarian low malignant potential tumors have a good prognosis, especially when the tumor is found early.
After ovarian low malignant potential tumor has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if abnormal cells have spread within the ovary or to other parts of the body.
The process used to find out whether abnormal cells have spread within the ovary or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment. Certain tests or procedures are used for staging. Staging laparotomy (a surgical incision made in the wall of the abdomen to remove ovarian tissue) may be used. Most patients are diagnosed with stage I disease.
The following stages are used for ovarian low malignant potential tumor:
Stage I
In stage I, the tumor is found in one or both ovaries. Stage I is divided into stage IA, stage IB, and stage IC.
Stage II
In stage II, the tumor is found in one or both ovaries and has spread into other areas of the pelvis. Stage II is divided into stage IIA, stage IIB, and stage IIC.
Stage III
Pea, peanut, walnut, and lime show tumor sizes.
In stage III, the tumor is found in one or both ovaries and has spread outside the pelvis to other parts of the abdomen and/or nearby lymph nodes. Stage III is divided into stage IIIA, stage IIIB, and stage IIIC.
The spread of tumor cells to the surface of the liver is also considered stage III disease.
Stage IV
In stage IV, tumor cells have spread beyond the abdomen to other parts of the body, such as the lungs or tissue inside the liver.
Tumor cells in the fluid around the lungs is also considered stage IV disease.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumors almost never reach stage IV.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumors may recur (come back) after they have been treated. The tumors may come back in the other ovary or in other parts of the body.
There are different types of treatment for patients with ovarian low malignant potential tumor.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with ovarian low malignant potential tumor. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer, tumors, and related conditions. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Two types of standard treatment are used:
The type of surgery (removing the tumor in an operation) depends on the size and spread of the tumor and the woman's plans for having children. Surgery may include the following:
Even if the doctor removes all disease that can be seen at the time of the operation, the patient may be given chemotherapy after surgery to kill any tumor cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the tumor will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the medical research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for disease are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way diseases will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose disease has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop a disease from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's clinical trials database.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the disease may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the disease has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
Early Stage Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumors (Stage I and II)
Surgery is the standard treatment for early stage ovarian low malignant potential tumor. The type of surgery usually depends on whether a woman plans to have children.
For women who plan to have children, surgery is either:
To prevent recurrence of disease, most doctors recommend surgery to remove the remaining ovarian tissue when a woman no longer plans to have children.
For women who do not plan to have children, treatment may be hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage I borderline ovarian surface epithelial-stromal tumor and stage II borderline ovarian surface epithelial-stromal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. Talk with your doctor about clinical trials that may be right for you. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Late Stage Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumors (Stage III and IV)
Treatment for late stage ovarian low malignant potential tumor may be hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy. A lymph node dissection may also be done.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage III borderline ovarian surface epithelial-stromal tumor and stage IV borderline ovarian surface epithelial-stromal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. Talk with your doctor about clinical trials that may be right for you. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Recurrent Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumors
Treatment for recurrent ovarian low malignant potential tumor may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent borderline ovarian surface epithelial-stromal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. Talk with your doctor about clinical trials that may be right for you. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the treatment of ovarian low-malignant potential tumors. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

While wandering around the TUNES site in search of kindred souls, I came across a link to the Principia Cybernetica Project.
It's always nice to get some confirmation on ideas that have been (literally) driving me crazy for a few years now. Now I feel a whole lot more relaxed, and a whole lot more humble. Big weight gone, now can hack. :)
What I read there and at the TUNES site also confirmed that my basic design for Figure is sound, so there's no excuse for me if I flub the implementation.
Anyway, I uploaded the latest GRUB to Debian yesterday. I'll make the formal alpha release when it hits the mirrors. Okuji's still doing the lion's share of the work, and he'll probably continue to do so until 1.0 is out the door (which shouldn't be very long, judging by his release goals).
I'm pretty sure Figure will be ready for grafting into GRUB shortly after 1.0, and then the ball will be back into my court again. It's good to work with Okuji... I just hope I'm not stressing him too much as I tilt at windmills.

Verna Joy Marshall
On Friday, May 10, 2013, Verna Joy Marshall, known to most as Joy, died gracefully and peacefully at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg from surgery complications.
She was born October 20, 1927 at home in Buena Vista Township, the daughter of Beauford and Beulah Cowling. Joy was united in marriage with George Marshall September 5, 1948, and her loving care allowed George to remain at home the past few years. In addition to being a supportive farm wife, Joy worked at the Farmer's and Merchant's Bank and then worked as a Postmaster replacement at Gillingham for approximately 27 years. She enjoyed her family, cooking and providing all with treats. Joy was a member of Homemakers for many years and enjoyed Homemaker trips, Eastern Star (50+ years), and attending Badger EX-POW gatherings. She was an active member of the Peace United Methodist Church. Her favorite hobby was her grandchildren.
Survived by her husband, of 64 1/2 years, George; her sister Verla Pauls; her brother Vernon (Jack) Cowling (Charlene); three sons: Mike (Robyn), Chuck, Kent (Diana); six grandchildren: Jessica Mannel (Robert), Jason, Lydia Biba (Timothy), Cole, Casey (Ashli), Nick (Kelsey); and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Joy was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law Archie Pauls.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at the PRATT MEMORIAL CHAPEL. Pastor Bill Busch will officiate and burial will be in the Fancy Creek Cemetery. Visitation will be at the PRATT MEMORIAL CHAPEL on Monday, May 13, 2013 from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM and on Tuesday morning from 10:00 AM until service time at 11:00.
The family suggests memorials be directed to the American Legion Flag Park, to the Peace United Methodist Church, to Agrace HospiceCare, or to a charity of choice in memory of Joy.
The Pratt Funeral and Cremation Service is assisting the Marshall family. Online condolences may be made at prattfuneralservice.com.

Idaho Women Let One Get Away
The Idaho women's basketball team built a 50-30 second-half lead against Louisiana Tech, but the Lady Techsters roared back in the final 16 minutes and outscored the Vandals 37-8 to steal a 67-58 Western Athletic Conference win Thursday night.
A 12-1 Idaho run near the end of the first half put the Vandals ahead by 14 at 32-18, and the Vandals eventually took a nine point, 36-27 lead into the break after shooting 40 percent from the field.
"We came out strong. We played extremely well in the first half on both ends of the floor," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "We did what we wanted to do defensively except the o-boards hurt us at times. Offensively we got what we wanted. We were taking great shots, getting good looks. There's a reason we shot as well as we did in the first half, it's because we were running our offense well and sharing the basketball."
The Vandals came out of the gates fast in the second half, outscoring the Lady Techsters 14-3 in the first four minutes to build a 20-point advantage, their largest lead of the night. But that's when LA Tech began its run. A 7-0 spurt that took two and a half minutes cut Idaho's lead to 13. The Vandals led by 15, 55-40, when LA Tech really turned up the heat. The Lady Techsters used a 17-0 run to take a 57-55 lead with three and a half minutes left. The Vandals tied the game at 57-57, but LA Tech outscored Idaho 10-1 in the final three minutes to take home the win.
"We got the big lead, then we had people rushing shots, taking quick shots, getting careless with the basketball," Newlee said. "From a defensive standpoint, we were giving them some open looks that let them get going and get on a streak. Turnovers led to some points, and their o-boards and second shot opportunities really hurt us."
Idaho was attempting to beat LA Tech for the first time in series between the two programs, but instead falls to 0-16 all-time against the Lady Techsters. The loss drops the Vandals to 6-11 on the season and 3-3 in WAC play. LA Tech improves to 8-8 overall and 4-2 in the WAC.
The Vandals were led by junior Alyssa Charlston's 16 points and nine boards. She went 4-of-11 from the field, 3-of-4 from 3-point range and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line, but after knocking down two quick 3-pointers early in the second half, didn't score in the game's final 17 minutes. Freshman Christina Salvatore added 14 points and went 4-of-10 from long range, but did all of her scoring in the first half. She added seven rebounds, two steals and a block. Ali Forde added eight points and six rebounds for Idaho.
The Vandals shot 35.0 percent, 21-of-60 in the game, while LA Tech shot 41.8 percent, and 50 percent, 13-of-26, in the second half. The Lady Techsters hit 4-of-10 second-half 3s and also got aggressive with the basketball, going 10-of-18 from the free throw line in the second half, while Idaho made 1-of-3 second half free throws.
While Idaho held a slim advantage in turnovers, giving up 18 while forcing 19, LA Tech outscored the Vandals 19-12 off turnovers. The Lady Techsters also owned a 42-34 rebounding advantage and an 8-7 edge on second chance points.
LA Tech was led by 16 points and five steals from Janay Borum. Brittany Lewis, who was held to zero points and two rebounds in the first half, finished with a 10-point, 12-rebound double-double. Jelena Vucinic added 12 points off the bench for LA Tech.
The Vandals will look to get back above .500 in WAC play on Saturday when they host UT Arlington in the Cowan Spectrum at 6 p.m.

VIDEO: Obama's at Selma. From YouTube's "YouChoose '08" channel
When Barack Obama announced his presidential candidacy, there was some wild speculation — driven chiefly by early polls and bloggers such as Mickey Kaus — that Obama might not receive a large share of the black vote. The reasoning was that Obama — whose mother was white, whose father was Kenyan, and who grew up primarily in Hawaii and Indonesia — did not share the African-American "slavery heritage," and that therefore many American blacks would reject him.
Guess again.
After Obama's stirring appearance in Selma, Alabama, a week or so ago, the truth is becoming more apparent. There is an understandable pride among voters whenever "one of their own" seeks the nation's highest office. John F. Kennedy did better among Catholics than any Democrat in recent history; Mitt Romney will do very well among Mormons, and most presidential candidates usually get a huge home-state bounce. Black voters are not going to be an exception to this rule.
How important is that advantage? It's enormous, and it's largely why Obama — not Hillary Clinton — is the current favorite to be the Democratic nominee. Black voters are a huge constituency in the Democratic primaries — around 20 percent — and they give Obama a solid base to build on in virtually every state (though not, interestingly, in Iowa or New Hampshire), all but guaranteeing he'll stay in the race until the end. It also gives him unusual strength in many states that would normally not be fertile ground for a staunch Illinois liberal.
Equally important, these are voters Hillary Clinton's campaign had figured would be overwhelmingly supporting her, largely because of the black community's close ties to Bill Clinton in the past. Simply put, Obama's candidacy has blown a huge hole in the Clinton effort's foundation.
Jesse Jackson's 1988 campaign is instructive. In the Democratic primaries that year, Jackson captured 92 percent of the black vote, carrying him to wins in 11 states — including Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Virginia — all of which will be prime targets for Obama as well. Jackson's popularity among black voters also gave him, as it will Obama, a huge delegate boost nationally, since convention delegates are apportioned by congressional district. Throughout the country, a number of predominantly black districts will give Obama pockets of support come convention time.
Obama has another advantage. He is, by many accounts, the most charismatic Democratic presidential candidate on the scene since Robert F. Kennedy — as a campaigner, on a par with Ronald Reagan and JFK. True, there is plenty of time for Obama to stumble and to prove right those critics who say he is too green to make it through a tough campaign for the White House. But so far, he's more than cleared the hurdles in front of him.
This isn't to denigrate Hillary Clinton's considerable assets. She is the first female presidential candidate with a real chance to win. She's got a first-class organization with plenty of money. But she's still Bill Clinton's wife, and with all the benefits of that distinction comes a lot of baggage.

Edmunds.com is exposing a secret in the auto business: Most dealerships will deliver a vehicle to a customer's home or office.
Edmunds.com urges consumers to request deliveries once they've negotiated a car purchase. The customer is spared hours of waiting at a dealership for paperwork -- and the customer escapes the dealer's hard sell of additional products and services in the finance and insurance office, Edmunds.com says.
The first benefit is a win-win for customers and dealers. A customer pleased with a delivery means higher customer satisfaction scores. It could lead to more sales from word-of-mouth goodwill.
The second perceived consumer benefit, however, may not be.
Sure, the sale of products such as extended-service contracts, wheel-and-tire protection and paint-and-fabric protection are profit generators. But many customers find value in them. Those products also often prompt customers to return for service. With ever-shrinking profit margins on vehicle sales, sales on the back end are critical.
If a dealer can't get a customer into the F&I office to pitch those products, revenue could nosedive.
Edmunds.com is sympathetic to dealers, says Philip Reed, senior consumer advice editor at Edmunds.com in Santa Monica, Calif. But Edmunds.com is a consumer advocate, he says. Reed's role is to protect consumers who are often in a state of euphoria when buying a new car and might buy F&I products "they just don't need," Reed says.
Consumers are increasingly buying vehicles off dealership Web sites and negotiating a deal over the phone, Reed says. So the request for home or office deliveries likely will rise.
That means dealers will need ways to pitch F&I in someone's living room instead of the dealership.

Family: Ictaluridae, Bullhead Catfishes view all from this family
Description The flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris), also called the yellow cat, opelousas, and shovelhead cat, are large North American freshwater catfish. This is the only species of the genus Pylodictis. Ranging from the lower Great Lakes region to northern Mexico, they have been widely introduced and are an invasive species in some areas.
nhabiting deep pools, lakes, and large slow-moving rivers, flathead catfish are popular among anglers; their flesh is widely regarded as the tastiest of the catfishes. Their size also make the flatheads effective subjects of public aquaria. Like most catfish, flatheads are benthic feeders and prefer live prey. They are voracious carnivores and feed primarily on other fish, insects, annelid worms and crustaceans.
Dimensions Up to 4'5" (1.4 m); 91 lbs, 4 ozs (41 kg).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range Their native range includes a broad area west of the Appalachian Mountains encompassing large rivers of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio basins. The range extends as far north as North Dakota, as far west as Arizona, and south to the Gulf of Mexico including northeastern Mexico.

The global epidemic of diabetes is a most serious medical and social problem in all parts of the world including the Western Pacific Region, which has the highest prevalence of diabetes, heterogeneous pathophysiology, and diverse ethnicities and cultures. To investigate the diversity of diabetes in the Western Pacific Region and to provide a basis for science-guided diabetes care and education, the Congress will be devoted to discussions in three main areas, research, clinical and basic, and diabetes education and care, all of which are crucial for us and our colleagues who battle diabetes.

After a full day listening to 12 of WI finest wildlife biologists talk turkey I must say I am very impressed with their knowledge. Scott Walter has a much better handle on WI turkeys than his predecessor.
The fall drawing is going to be discontinued making for other changes in the way we purchase tags.
Proposals / Ideas discussed
1. All sales OTC with a season limit of 2 birds. - Yuck, but this is supported by a majority of the survey respondents.
2. Buy 2 permits OTC, when you register a bird you can buy another tag.
3. Buy 1 permit OTC, when you register a bird buy another with a quota system similar to goose hunting. When the quota is registered the season is closed.
4. Buy 1 permit OTC, after the season opens buy one per day, when the quota is reached the season would be closed in that management unit.
What was particularly interesting and disconcerting is the managers were concerned about turkeys losing their "big game" status, that which makes them special. There have been reports coming in from around the state about some hunters taking short cuts to kill their birds. For example, turkey drives, turkeys being flushed and shot on the fly, roost shootings; the thinking is because there are so many permits this is causing turkeys to be taken for granted. My impression is they are either going to start managing turkeys like pheasant and grouse, basically letting the turkey become just another game bird (doubtful in the short term) or the seasons and limits are going to be more restricted with higher license fees. (spring and fall)
Before anything gets changed there will be more meetings, discussions and hunter input opportunities. The earliest any change could take effect 2014, unless the legislature were to step in.

Aquarium project - columbian shark catfish in brackish water
Hi everyone!
Who here wants to help me plan a brackish water aquarium 201*51*71cm featuring Columbian Shark Catfish?
Questions I would like to resolve together with you:
- Best equipment: let's create a shopping list
- Fish: let's create a fish list (how many hexanematichthys seemanni and which and how many other fish?)
- Setup: let's define the best way to design this aquarium so that maintenance is minimal
- Maintenance: let's write a schedule & guide on what do when each month and how much time will be required to do it
I'll keep you updated with great pictures throughout the process.
Let me know if you're interested and what your ideas are.
I have an offer from an aquarium shop on some of the equipment, but I don't want to leave this fully to an external party and rather trust your competence.

If I'm doing the math correctly, you have a 80" long by 20" wide by 28" tall tank which is just over 190 gallons. It's good to see that you should have a large enough tank for fish that will get 12 to 14".
I was wondering how many you were planning on keeping ? I have read these guys are best kept in schools of at least 6, but I have never personally kept these fish before.
I've also read they can and will eat any other fish that can fit into it's mouth so you might need to factor that into your stocking decision for potential tank mates.
I would suggest using a refactormeter so test your salinity as they are typically among the more accurate instruments for that.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Any more replies? I'm still looking for help! I'd also pay a small fee for someone who really helps me with this project.
Let me know!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:O.P. Letter Writing Campaign
I love email, it's so easy to rip the powers that be off a peice of your mind. I think it's imperative that the managment entities recieve pressure from outside the state so they begin to learn just what they have here. Thank Juro!
Here's the email addy for the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission:
Phone: 360-902-2267
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here's their Web page:
http://www.wa.gov/wdfw/com/comintro.htm
Here's what I sent them:
Washington State Fish and Wildlife Commission:
Due to the recent pending closure of Puget Sound rivers to steelhead angling it is expected that Olympic Peninsula rivers will receive intensified pressure. To lessen the impact on these fragile stocks of wild fish I urge the commission to implement catch and release, quality fisheries regulations for the remainder of the season.
The pending closure of the Puget Sound rivers is a classic failure of the present harvest management policy. In past seasons the brood stock for the currently depressed runs was deemed healthy and wild fish kill harvesting was implemented. The inadequacy of either scientific, or political means of fish current management strategies is partly to blame for the current lack of what would be a low impact recreational opportunity through catch and release.
In light of the current management failures I urge the Commission to adopt mandatory catch and release regulation for all wild steelhead in the State of Washington. These regulations should be in effect until such a time as stocks can be maintained or restored to levels of historical abundance.
The entities of the State of Washington have repeatedly missed the point when it comes to providing quality angling to visitors and residents. They have fostered a harvest mentality where quantity over rides quality. The beauty, solitude and splendor of our rivers and wild fish are the legacy we must leave for others. Hopefully it will not be just a memory of what once was.
Lets put the wildlife back in Wildlife and start managing for the fish instead of people.
Thank you,
RE:O.P. Letter Writing Campaign
Just sent mine... FYI
Dear WDFW Commission -
In our already offset balance between human presence and indigenous species, this spring's Cascade steelhead closures promise to dramatically sway the attention of anglers to the Olympic Peninsula streams during the peak of the native steelhead season.
This is not to say that Cascade closures are wrong, in fact if the runs need protection then that is the best thing we can do. What is wrong is to allow the heightened slaughter of already pressured indigenous runs in an adjacent area.
I've traveled to fish the wild places on the peninsula for almost 20 years. I have been lucky to experience some of the most remote and pristine places the region has to offer. Each year the native fish of the Hoh, Sol Duc, and surrounding rivers are killed in large numbers this time of year. While the catch and release season on Cascade streams is the shining example of good sporting practices for a fishery, the mentality of the peninsula fishery is catch and kill during a sensitive native run. This is an ambiguous management policy for two equally precious resources in the same region. More catch and release (no-kill) policies should be adopted for peninsula native runs.
It's ironic that this year's decision to protect one precious run will potentially cause a dramatic death toll on another equally precious run just a few hours drive away. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that we are robbing Peter to pay Paul.
It is the belief of the overwhelming majority of anglers I know that we should place a catch and release protection regulation on the peninsula steelhead to protect them against this potential massacre. Please take action to make this sensible act of stewardship a reality.
Best regards,
Juro Mukai
RE:O.P. Letter Writing Campaign
just wanted to restate the importance of taking the time to send letters to WDFW. The folks down there are under the impression that most anglers in this state favor catch-and-kill of wild fish. We can (at least) change that impression if we all take a few minutes and tell them otherwise.
tight lines,
RE:O.P. Letter Writing Campaign
Duggan - you don't even need to ask, it is *super* appropriate and urge you to use this forum for all such initiatives.
Now... time for some wordsmithing!
Thanks and glad to help. I hope everyone does their part.
O.P. Letter Writing Campaign
I'm posting this over here in hopes of getting the word out to people who might not check in on the WSC forum at Bob's site. If you think this is inappropriate, please delete.
__________________________________________________ ___
As many of you are aware, the Puget Sound river closures will soon result in a mass exodus of anglers to the Olympic Penninsula. This increase can only negatively impact the wild stocks on the O.P. rivers. The Wild Steelhead Coalition is sponsoring a campaign to pressure the WDFW Commission to adopt a catch and release emergency season on these rivers. Please take the time to e-mail or write the commission and support this action.
Please e-mail your request to email@example.com , fax it to 360 902-2448 or mail via snail mail to WDFW Commission, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501-1091
Included below is a draft letter to use as a guide. Please use you own words as individual letters carry more weight than a form one.
Dear WDFW Commission Members,
Due to the closure of the North Puget Sound rivers for spring catch and release steelheading, it is predicted that the Olympic Peninsula rivers will see a dramatic increase in fishing pressure. Such increases in pressure will negatively impact the health of the wild steelhead stocks in these rivers.
I am writing to encourage you to consider and approve, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife to implement an emergency Selective Fishery Season on the Olympic Peninsula. This Selective Fishery Season would require "catch-and-release only," selective gear rules from March 1 to April 30, 2001.
The Olympic rivers that will experience inordinate fishing pressure from anglers displaced from Puget Sound waters include: the Quillayute River System (Bogachiel, Calawah, Dickey, Sol Duc and Quillayute); and the Hoh, Queets, Clearwater, upper Quinalt and Humptulips Rivers.
In the past, Washington has enjoyed world-class steelheading. The current management focus on harvest has helped reduce these fisheries to shadows of their former selves. Please take action now to stop this decline and move towards rebuilding the great legacy of steelhead in Washington rivers. I appreciate your consideration and action regarding this proposal.

Treatment for albiholism
The last time I smelled salt air was when Jim and I crossed Waquoit Bay on the way home from the Bone Clave two weeks ago. Normally it would be almost unheard of for me to miss a salty weekend in the fall let alone two in a row. Various unusual factors, among which rattlesnakes and auto repairs are promenent, have combined with a very productive early fall to give me a more relaxed attitude towards what is by far my most intense fishing of the season.
That's not to say however that I can just go fishless for two weeks in the fall without consequence!
A timely invite to scout the extreme low water in our local pike river was just the medicine the doctor ordered.
We launched yesterday early afternoon at a deserted ramp which was kinda spooky after the usual shenanigans of Sunday a-noons at that spot. We soon realized it was the extreme low water which was keeping the bass boats and pleasure cruisers off the river. Places where we frequently see big boats blow through at high speed were less than a foot deep. We saw logs and rocks we've gone by dozens of times and never knew about. We even hit something ourselves going all out in a canoe with a 30lb thrust trolling motor. Almost dumped it!
The good side, besides the nonexistent boat traffic was seeing the river and banks at what amounts to low tide. We found holes and channels and dropoffs we never knew about even with sonar.
After a dire forcast and dreary start the day turned out beautiful. Some of the trees are in full flame while others are still green while some of the underbrush is withered brown from thirst. There was barely any breeze to disperse the wonderfull earthy smell of exposed mud flats and new fallen leaves.
Bird migration is in full force with raptors getting most of our attention. Several ospreys were observed as well as the usual turkey vultures and redtails. Broadwing hawks were spotted several times riding thermals waaay up there. A few coopers hawks cruised by, flying the treeline trying to flush foolish song birds. The best sighting was a merlin, a small falcon which we saw twice. The second time we saw it, it chased a bluejay into some thick brush. Immediately a great rucus of screeching jays erupted and the merlin popped back out of the brush with a flock of a dozen irate bluejays hot on his tail!
The Federal Wildlife Refuge had recently reflooded the great meadow in time for the migrating water fowl and the sound of ducks and geese quaking and honking was the background music to the adventure [my buddy claimed they were laughing at his fishing skills. I made no comment ]
I had opted to flyfish despite a screaming case of tennis elbow. My buddy is exclusivley a spin fisher. The amazing thing to me was the fact that I cast huge deerhail bugs all afternoon with very little discomfort. It dawned on me that my relaxed, slowed down, low key short casts were the opposite of the teeth grinding high speed intensity of the albie fishing I've been doing for a month and a half. It was really a pleasure to just be cool and causually work the shoreline without really even caring if I got a hit. It was enlightening to note that my casts were much better and more efficient. I never got a wind knot all day!
Eventually the sun fell and a chill settled which signaled the end of our journey. The sunset was pastel pink and smokey mist rose from the water undisturbed by a breeze. Several beaver marked our passing with loud tail slaps and numerous great blue herons stalking the shallows rose squaking and croaking. For the hundredth time we noted their similarity to those big flying dinosaurs.
we reached the ramp after dark and loaded the vehicles silently each lost in contemplation of a day well spent and the returning rat race of the next day. I hit the road just in time for the start of the blues program on the radio. I drove home with a smile and never thought once about albies.
Oh in case any one was curious, the final tally was a half a dozen bass to three pounds and a small pike for the flyrod and a fat goose egg for the plugger.

Here is my opinion on the Newsforge's article on Debian and Hot Babe
The Debian community should not be discussing whether a package is "politically correct", or "offensive", or "against someone's moral", or "lack of values", or something like that. The main Debian folks scope is to deliver the best Free operating system they can. As long as the software works and is Free, they should not be concerned about anything else, unless it includes illegal or extreme offensive/dangerous content.
I think there is an easy solution to this "problem": Look for a workaround to print a message warning about the nature of the images immediately after Hot-Babe installation finishes, something like:
WARNING: The images used by this program may be offensive to some people, are Not Worf Safe and should not be viewed by a minor without parental advice. If the package bothers you, just uninstall it as soon as you can.
Maybe in this way Debian avoids legal problems and everybody should be (at least partially) satisfied.
Come on, if a nude girl drawing offends you, just don't install the package.
And if the program is found illegal in some country, just remove it from Debian (the Universal Operating System)

Today marks 5:4's fifth anniversary, & so i'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who regularly read, share & respond to the articles & music explored here. Since 2008, the blog has grown from being an occasional hobby (reading the earliest articles, that fact is rather painfully obvious) to something that now receives significantly more time & attention. i very much hope that 5:4 can grow & become even more interesting & useful in the next five years; all comments, criticisms, suggestions & other feedback is always very warmly encouraged.
But to return to the present, & to continue our annual tradition, here is a new mix tape featuring one track from each of the forty entries on my Best Albums of the Year list. The mix includes more extreme dynamic variety than in previous years, so while i've done a little to mitigate that, be warned that at times the music veers between extremely soft & very loud indeed. As ever, if you like what you hear in the mix, please support the artists & buy the music; links are included on the last two days' posts.
i've remarked in the past on the provisional nature of all 'Best of' lists, & so to keep things current, i've updated the summaries of the Best Albums/EPs of the Years, to reflect further listening than had been possible at the time; the revised lists can be found under The Lists on the main menu.
The mix tape lasts a little under 3½ hours; here's the tracklisting in full: Read more

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Summer Patterns
Tyler - the pleasure was all mine as they say, you've redefined the potential of what a spey cast can do in my book; and what I used to think was a trick cast (spiral roll) has now been registered as a deadly weapon in my mind.
I've always heard about tyee refusing the fly in the salt chuck but have experienced a degree of success with large kings in rivers, even springers in the Lewis R., and to an extent in the salt (when the coho could not lure me to them). It seems even the best feel the conquest of tyee on flies is difficult. I've become obsessed with figuring this out and have confidence that some of the things I've experienced with many years of coho, stripers, and river kings might be of value in this quest. I'd love someday to visit an area such as Langara and research this.
BTW - if it appeals to you, perhaps we could put together a hooknose on the fly article and ask Langara to sponsor it in exchange for a full blown ad in the guild.
RE:Summer Patterns
I will in all liklihood be going back and forth to Langara from July 11 to August 8. Those dates, especially at the tag end are somewhat negotiable. As yet, I have not recieved firm dates from them, but those are my availability times. From July 1 - 9 I will be up at my favourite Cariboo lake - Sheridan for some chironomid fishing. In mid-August I'll more or less be around home, then the last 2 weeks before Labour Day I'll be up in the Skeena country. I know life's tough but somebody has got do it!
With the close of this spring steelhead season, as few and far between as the fish were I have to say I am very pleased. This is in no small part due to hooking up with a merry band of hard-core steelheaders that share my passion for speyfishing. Brian, Jeff, Duggan, Bill and you Juro made this an exciting and valuable spring - thanks alot - tight lines - tyler.
RE:Summer Patterns
Not sure if this will mean earlier or later - Smitty will be on the south island earlier and I really wanted to fish with him and his son, but it may end up being later due to the circumstances. I need to ngotiate with the war department
The mighty Thompson sounds good too - either way I win! (it's nice to have options!)
Hey Tyler - when do you work Langara?
RE:Summer Patterns
Howdy boys,
My personal favourite summer fly? Hmm...let me see, could it be a black/purple marabou G.P? I do tie it down to micro size (for a G.P) maybe a #6. Mind you for the summer fish on the "T" I often take my Skagit box of flies!
Juro, I hope that later trip of yours can be late enough to hit the Thompson! Tight lines - tyler.
RE:Summer Patterns
Yeeow - that's gotta hurt! Does this mean No Coho and an earlier-than-expected trip, or a mid September run after the move? Still planning to do the Vancouver Island run?
As for my own summer fishing, I'm partial to my black ostrich and grizzly bugger as a generic fish-getter. Tied on a straight eye nymph hook in #4 and #6, this bug has caught summer fish dredged on a sinktip in the Snoqualmie and skated on the surface of the Sky at first light. That and some small purple/black low-water ties for riffling and a few foam-head muddlers and traditional maribou muddlers and I'm ready to go.
Planning on exploring some new water this summer (far away from the Rubber Hatch and the Splash&Giggler's) and will report on what I find.
Summer Patterns
Haven't forgotten about posting the summer prawn / pink pupa patterns, just need to get to the bench.
The timing is right to discuss summer steelhead success stories and get the mindset tuned into the summer season.
I'd have to say that prawn / pupa pair has done the most subsurface damage for me over the early summer months, and a wide range of patterns including a caddis surface fly do the most in the late summer and fall. Small rats (matuka) all the way down to #8 have been good on very light tips as well. Patterns like freight trains, purple butt speys, and other sparse dark patterns have been great greaselined flies for me too.
I am on schedule for a fall fling, but the original start of september thing won't fly. My daughter moves into a dorm at Boston University that week! HOLY ####!
I'm gonna need to fish bad

Lead your country to European glory in EA SPORTS UEFA EURO 2012 on PlayStation 3, the game add-on for EA SPORTS FIFA 12 that is now available to download from PlayStation Store. Celebrating the real-life tournament which kicks off on 8 June 2012, the pack contains all of the teams and stadiums from the upcoming festival of football.
Here, EA SPORTS producer Sebastian Enrique talks us through the new features, and reveals how the multinational team at the developer's home in Vancouver will be following the action from Poland and Ukraine.
What's new for EA SPORTS FIFA 12 fans?
With EA SPORTS FIFA 12 we had a game that people really embraced, so rather than starting over we've decided to add to it via PlayStation Store. There's already a universe of people playing EA SPORTS FIFA 12, so it made perfect sense to add another layer to what is still popular and available.
Authentic national team kits and stadiums are included, and there are new features as well. Challenges mode lets you earn experience points to boost your EA SPORTS Football Club profile. Twice a week throughout the UEFA EURO 2012 tournament we'll be injecting real-life scenarios into the game as they occur. So, say France are playing Sweden and they go a man down, you'll then have the chance to win the match with only ten men in replayable challenges.
What can you tell us about Expedition mode?
It's a little like the Career mode in EA SPORTS FIFA 12. You start with your own team captain – someone like Steven Gerrard or Iker Casillas, perhaps – and then you build a team around him using randomly selected players. You'll customise kits and colours and so on, come up with a name to use, and then try to improve your team by winning matches.
You'll have players from all over Europe to begin with, of a fairly low level. You'll take them on an expedition through Europe, playing all comers and eventually unlocking more countries to pick players from. You'll play each country three times to unlock that region, and we think it's a nice way to keep the feeling of European competition while giving it a new slant.
How have you captured the atmosphere of UEFA EURO 2012?
We've captured the broadcast look and feel – that big match presentation. There's a new camera which provides a broadcast angle that's much closer to the action on the pitch. Plus you'll see a special flourish before each knockout game to add to the spectacle.
We love working on the games that celebrate big football tournaments. We can really focus on the coming together of nations and their star players. With the colour, noise and broadcast touches I really think this replicates what you'll be watching on TV.
Are the team at the Vancouver campus going to be closely following the tournament?
Absolutely. The studio will be completely taken over. It's an international group which means everyone will have a team to follow. A lot of the matches are scheduled to take place at what will be lunchtime in Vancouver, so productivity may be a little slow then...
There'll be special events, we'll be staging our own tournaments, people will wear their favourite kits into work and those national rivalries will start to emerge. We've got a couple of huge cinema screens so we'll show the most popular matches on those.
Who's going to win the championship?
Common sense says Spain, but I think Germany could run away with it.
Find out if Sebastian is right by putting the German team through their paces in EA SPORTS UEFA EURO 2012. Download it to your PS3 from PlayStation Store today.

What is the point of the dimwit rating? All it allows for is name-calling. Say I just got into programming and am really excited about the idea of OSS. I find advogato, sign up for an account and then begin posting diaries (and possibly stories) that others consider to be irrelevant. As a result, I get demoted to a dimwit. I either 1) feel hurt, leave advogato and never return, or 2) sign up for a different advogato account and again achieve the Observer level. Of course, these aren't the only possibilities, but the point is that the dimwit rating doesn't do any good. It can cause general bad feelings and it doesn't improve the community. Allowing only ratings that "improve" one's position in the Advogato community encourages judgements that are based on longer-term observations. Allowing a negative rating encourages snap judgements based on minimal information.
Looks like the dimwit rating has been done away with. Yeah! :-)

If you're reading this, chances are you've thought about cancelling your landline.
After all, why incur the extra monthly expense when your friends and family call you on your mobile phone anyway? Or perhaps you prefer to chat via email, text or instant messenger?
In some countries, landlines are already passé, and the U.S. is inching towards that trend, too (mobile phone use first overtook landlines in this country back in 2004).
And so here we take a look at more than a half-dozen landline alternatives to save you cash.
Mobile phones
Many are ditching their landline in favor of a mobile phone. Perhaps this isn't an ideal scenario when there's a large family at home who needs to make or accept a call (and you're out with the only phone), but it can make sense, and saves cents, for younger, on-the-go types. And with the new carrier competition there are some pretty aggressive wireless rates these days, including unlimited calls and data, for less than the cost of a landline at home in some cases -- especially when you add up the extra features like Caller ID, voicemail, and so on.
Bluetooth cordless phones
Bluetooth-enabled cordless phones can turn your cell phone or smartphone into a home phone. Panasonic, Uniden and Good Call, for example, have Bluetooth-enabled cordless phones that wirelessly connect with your mobile phone when you walk in the door. Then, when a call comes in, your cordless phone will ring. You can also make outgoing calls, too, of course. You can use your mobile phone with an existing landline service, but many people have cancelled their home phone account in favor of being reached with just one number.
Not only can you make free calls around the world using popular instant messaging software, such as Skype, but these programs support video calling, too. As long as you have a webcam, which you can pick up for as low as $10, you can make video calls to other people using the same software -- plus some cross-platform support is available, too, including Yahoo! Messenger. Use text, voice or video to chat, exchange files or have fun with special effects that make it look like you're in a different location or wearing silly apparel.
MagicJack, Ooma
Those who use it swear by it. MagicJack is a pocket-sized product that turns your computer into an inexpensive landline alternative. YMax Corp.'s $40 device -- promoted on one of those "As Seen on TV" infomercials -- is inserted into an available USB port on your PC and then you plug in a regular telephone jack into the other end and talk via VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology. MagicJack Plus ($70) can be used without a computer. For $20/year you've got unlimited calls to the U.S. and Canada and all incoming calls are free. Porting your existing number costs $20, and then $10 a year after that. The similar Ooma Telo system (pictured here) offers even better audio quality and additional features and services.
Most people are unaware of Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA), a technology that allows a mobile phone to use your home's Wi-Fi network -- and you can talk all you like for free as it won't count towards your monthly minutes. Ask your carrier if it offers it. Mobile phones seamlessly switch from a cellular connection to your wireless network, and vice-versa. T-Mobile has something similar to UMA called Bobsled direct Wi-Fi calling, and operates on the same principle: using your mobile phone via your wireless network to make free calls in the U.S..
Smartphone apps -- such as Free Calls with MagicJack, Google Talk, NetTalk, Talkatone, Line2 and Viber – all let you make free phone calls to anyone in the U.S. and Canada, including to landlines and mobile phones (some require you to sign up to use a service, like Viber, while others don't, including the MagicJack app). It even works with the iPod touch. iPhone's Facebook app and BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) on BlackBerry devices also have options to chat for free via Wi-Fi with others. Audio quality can be spotty for all of these apps and services, however.
Endorsed by Donald Trump, the ACN digital phone and service lets you make unlimited calls in the U.S. and Canada and some international markets -- including a video phone called Iris that lets you see who you're talking to in its 7-inch screen. Essentially, ACN uses VoIP (Voice or Internet Protocol) technology that uses your high speed Internet connection instead of a phone line, plus you can keep your phone number, choose another area code and manage your account online. Price for the video phone is $30/month for unlimited calls – including landlines in 70 countries. Be forewarned, however, ACN is also a multilevel marketing (MLM) company, so you might be pitched to sell or buy products from your friends.
Yahoo! Digital Crave readers, do you use any of these alternatives to landlines? Or do you still prefer a "home phone"?

International Advance University Credit (IAUC) Program > IAUC Faculty
Faculty Partnership
Saint Louis University was founded in 1818 and is known for providing a one-of-a-kind education. Ninety-nine percent of our tenured and tenure-track faculty hold the highest degree in their field. It is this commitment to excellence that makes the Saint Louis University faculty liaison so vital to a student's success in IAUC courses.
Once the Saint Louis University faculty liaison and partner secondary school liaison have been identified, the two faculty members will work together on the delivery and final assessment of courses.
Faculty Credential Requirements
A designated Saint Louis University faculty liaison will make the final decision to determine if a partner secondary school faculty member is qualified to teach a course. The required credentials for specific classes can be found on the IAUC Courses section of this site.
Generally, a Master's degree in the discipline is generally required; however, some exceptions may be made if the teacher holds a Master's degree with a minimum of 18 graduate hours in the subject. This exception is made on a course by course basis. All credentials should be provided in English and should include, but are not limited to, Curriculum Vitae and an official transcript listing coursework and degree conferral.

Chinese tomb guardian figures on display, Feb. 9 through Aug. 31
Posted February 7, 2002; 01:57 p.m.
A recently acquired pair of Chinese tomb guardian figures from the Tang dynasty will be on display at the Princeton University Art Museum from Feb. 9 through Aug. 31. The figures are part of the "Guardians of the Tomb: Spirit Beasts of Tang Dynasty China" exhibition.
"Relics from one of the golden eras of Chinese art and culture, these fierce beast figures were always placed in pairs in tombs that often contained numerous ceramic figures of humans, animals and supernatural creatures" notes Cary Y. Liu, associate curator of Asian art. "Because of their position near the tomb entrance and their ferocious demeanor, such figures are thought to have been sentinels protecting the deceased from evil spirits." For more information, read the news release or call (609) 258-3788.

The original smoothie! This blend of yogurt and fruit will get your day off to a great start.
You want to use a "just right" banana for this recipe. If the banana is too ripe, it will be too soft; if it's not ripe enough, it won't add enough sweetness to the shake.
Turn this into a Double-Fruit Parfait by layering the yogurt-and-fruit mixture with fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries in a tall glass.

People who have undergone a stem cell transplant need to be examined regularly by their physicians. The treatment team will closely monitor allogeneic transplant patients for signs of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and will monitor patients who have received either allogeneic or autologous transplants for immune system recovery, late complications arising from the high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy given prior to transplantation, and any recurrence of cancer.
Our Stem Cell Transplant Survivorship Program
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we are dedicated to helping people who have undergone stem cell transplantation live their lives to the fullest after treatment. We offer comprehensive follow-up care for people who have been treated here as part of our institution-wide Survivorship Initiative.
Your follow-up care is provided by a nurse practitioner who specializes in the care of transplantation survivors. In addition to monitoring for signs of cancer recurrence, she focuses on identifying, preventing, and controlling any long-term and late effects associated with transplantation.
An initial education visit addressing your current and anticipated health needs is offered at three months after the time of your transplant. Subsequent follow-up visits with the nurse practitioner include the following:
- Review of your recent medical history and a physical examination
- Assessment to detect recurrence of cancer
- Identification and management of the effects of cancer and its treatment
- Screening referrals for other cancers
- Health promotion recommendations related to nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation
- Treatment summary and follow-up care plan
- Consultation with your Memorial Sloan Kettering physician as needed
In addition to working closely with your treatment team, the nurse practitioner provides a treatment summary and survivorship care plan to you, your primary care doctor, and other specialized medical providers. Your physicians can then incorporate this information into your overall medical plan.
Your Follow-Up Care Provider
I am a nurse practitioner with special training in survivorship issues for patients who have undergone blood and marrow stem cell transplantation. I graduated from Boston College's nurse practitioner program in 2009 and I moved from Boston to join the Blood and Marrow Transplantation service at Memorial Sloan Kettering in 2013.
Physical Challenges
You may experience a range of physical symptoms while recovering from a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. These can include fatigue and weakness, distorted taste sensations, lingering nausea and diarrhea, hair loss or other changes in appearance, and loss of muscle tone. Because your immune system may not recover fully for some time, you will be at risk for infections and colds.
In some patients, cancer may recur following transplantation if the high-dose chemotherapy and radiation given before the transplant did not eliminate all the malignant cells, or if the autologous stem cells harvested before the cytotoxic therapy contained some cancer cells. In an allogeneic transplant, the graft-versus-leukemia process may not always protect a patient from relapse, especially if he or she had relapsed or advanced disease at the time of transplantation.
When a patient's cancer recurs, physicians may shift their treatment strategy to a next-line therapy. In rare instances, patients may develop a secondary cancer or condition such as a myelodysplastic syndrome as a result of the high-dose treatment.
Emotional & Social Challenges
The period after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant can be a difficult and stressful time. To avoid infections, you need to stay away from crowds and from people who are sick. You may feel somewhat isolated, and your treatment-related concerns may affect your social and sexual relationships. Some people find it hard to get back to work, and may not be fully aware of their employment and insurance rights.
Our social workers counsel patients on how to cope with the stresses of illness and how to communicate with family members and children about any concerns. During hospitalization, our inpatient bone marrow transplant social worker provides counseling for individuals, families, and couples, and facilitates a weekly support group for caregivers.
During outpatient visits, a bone marrow transplant social worker can meet with you or your family members, or with everyone together in a family meeting. The outpatient social worker is also available to patients who have been discharged.
In addition, our Counseling Center offers individual and family counseling sessions to help transplant survivors and their families address the problems they may encounter in adjusting to life after treatment.
Living Beyond Cancer
People facing the challenges of cancer survivorship can access a variety of support services through the Survivorship Center section of our website. This includes recommendations about cancer screening, healthy living, counseling, and specialized services to address sexual health. We also offer a range of resources to help survivors, families, and friends better understand the complex emotional and social issues following treatment.
Additional services are offered through our Resources for Life After Cancer program, which provides a full range of educational support services, including individual and family counseling, periodic lectures or workshops to provide medical updates, and practical guidance on employment and insurance issues.
Integrative Medicine Service
Our Integrative Medicine Service is designed to enhance quality of life through healing regimens that address the body, mind, and spirit. Beneficial complementary therapies include various types of massage, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, meditation, visualization and other mind-body therapies, music therapy, and nutritional counseling, as well as classes such as yoga, t'ai chi, and chair aerobics.
