Speech-language pathology
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2010) |
Speech-language pathology professionals (speech-language pathologists (SLPs), or informally speech therapists) specialize in communication disorders as well as swallowing disorders.
The main components of speech production include: phonation, the process of sound production; resonance; intonation, the variation of pitch; and voice, including aeromechanical components of respiration. The main components of language include: phonology, the manipulation of sound according to the rules of the language; morphology, the understanding and use of the minimal units of meaning; syntax, the grammar rules for constructing sentences in language; semantics, the interpretation of meaning from the signs or symbols of communication; and pragmatics, the social aspects of communication.[1]
National approaches to speech and language pathology
Speech-language pathology is known by a variety of names in various countries around the world:
- Speech-language pathology (SLP) in the United States [1], Canada [2], Malta [3], Italy [4], and in the Philippines
- Speech and language therapy (SLT) in the United Kingdom, Ireland [5], and South Africa [6]. Within the United Kingdom a Speech and Language Therapy team is sometimes referred to as the "SALT" team, to avoid confusion with Senior Leadership Team. S< is preferable however, and closer to the official abbreviation SLT used by RCSLT (Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists) [7].
- Speech pathology in Australia [8], and the Philippines
- Speech-language therapy in New Zealand
- Speech therapy in India [9], Hong Kong [10] and other Asian countries.
- Speech and language pathologist in the Netherlands, the title for graduates from University who can participate in research.
- Speech and language therapist (logopedist) are educated to give therapy in the Netherlands.
Prior to 2006, the practice of Speech-Language Pathology in the United States was regulated by the individual states. Since January 2006, the 2005 "Standards and Implementation Procedures for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology" guidelines as set out by The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) have determined the qualification requirements to obtain "Speech-Language Pathology Clinical Fellowship". First, the individual must obtain an undergraduate degree, which may be in a field related to speech-language-hearing sciences. Second, the individual must graduate from an accredited master's program in speech language pathology. Many graduate programs will allow coursework not done in undergraduate years to be completed during graduate study. Various states have different regulations regarding licensure. The Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) is granted after the clinical fellowship year (CFY) when the individual provides services under the supervision of an experienced and licensed SLP. After a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology is awarded. Continuing education is required for maintenance of the Certificate of Clinical Competence, every three years.[2] Post master's graduate study for a Speech-Language Pathologist may consist of academic, research, and clinical practice . A doctoral degree (Ph.D or Speech-Language Pathology Doctorate) is currently optional for clinicians wishing to serve the public.
The Speech-Language Pathology vocation
Speech-Language Pathologists provide a wide range of services, mainly on an individual basis, but also as support for individuals, families, support groups, and providing information for the general public. Speech services begin with initial screening for communication and swallowing disorders and continue with assessment and diagnosis, consultation for the provision of advice regarding management, intervention and treatment, and provision counseling and other follow up services for these disorders.
- cognitive aspects of communication (e.g., attention, memory, problem solving, executive functions).
- speech (i.e., phonation, articulation, fluency, resonance, and voice including aeromechanical components of respiration);
- language (i.e., phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatic/social aspects of communication) including comprehension and expression in oral, written, graphic, and manual modalities; language processing; preliteracy and language-based literacy skills, phonological awareness.
- swallowing or other upper aerodigestive functions such as infant feeding and aeromechanical events (evaluation of esophageal function is for the purpose of referral to medical professionals);
- voice (i.e. hoarseness (dysphonia), poor vocal volume (hypophonia), abnormal (e.g. rough, breathy, strained) vocal quality). Research has been proven to demonstrate voice therapy to be especially helpful with certain patient populations, such as individuals with Parkinson's Disease, who often develop voice issues as a result of their disease.
- sensory awareness related to communication, swallowing, or other upper aerodigestive functions.
Multi-discipline collaboration
Speech-Language Pathologists collaborate with other health care professionals often working as part of a multidisciplinary team, providing referrals to audiologists and others; providing information to health care professionals (including doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, and dietitians), educators, and parents as dictated by the individual client's needs.
In relation to Auditory Processing Disorders[3] collaborating in the assessment and providing intervention where there is evidence of speech, language, and/or other cognitive-communication disorders.
The treatment for patients with cleft lip and palate has an obvious interdisciplinary character. The speech therapy outcome is even better when the surgical treatment is performed earlier.[4]
- Promote healthy lifestyle practices for the preservation of communication, hearing, or swallowing, or for the treatment of other upper aerodigestive disorders.
- Recognizing the need to provide and appropriately accommodate diagnostic and treatment services to individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and adjust treatment and assessment services accordingly.
- Advocating for individuals through community awareness, education, and training programs to promote and facilitate access to full participation in communication, including the elimination of societal barriers.
- Conduct research related to communication sciences and disorders, swallowing disorders, or other upper aerodigestive functions.
- Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology (M.A. or M.S.) or a clinical doctorate in Speech Language Pathology (SLP-D).
- Passing score on the National Speech-Language Pathology board exam (PRAXIS).
- Successful completion of a clinical fellowship year (CFY).
- American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) certificate of clinical competence (CCC) and full state licensure to practice, following successful completion of clinical fellowship year (CFY).
- Credentials of a clinical fellow typically read as M.A. CFY-SLP.
- Credentials of a licensed SLP are commonly written as M.A/M.S.. CCC-SLP or Ph.D. CCC-SLP. to indicate the practitioner's graduate degree and successful completion of the fellowship year/board exams to obtain the certificate of clinical competence (CCC).
Continuing Education and Training Obligations:
- Educate, supervise, and mentor future Speech-Language Pathologists.[5]
- Participate in continuing education.
- Educate and provide in-service training to families, caregivers, and other professionals.
- Train, supervise, and manage Speech-Language Pathology Assistants and other support personnel.
- Educating and counseling individuals, families, co-workers, educators, and other persons in the community regarding acceptance, adaptation, and decisions about communication and swallowing.[6]
Working environments
Speech-Language Pathologists work in a variety of clinical and educational settings. SLPs work in public and private hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), long-term acute care (LTAC) facilities, hospice,[7] and home healthcare. SLPs may also work as part of the support structure in the education system, working in both public and private schools, colleges, and universities.[8] Some speech-language pathologists also work in community health, providing services at prisons and young offenders' institutions or providing expert testimony in applicable court cases.[9]
Subsequent to ASHA's 2005 approval of the delivery of Speech-Language Pathology services via video conference, or telepractice,[10] SLPs have begun delivering services via this service delivery method.
Methods of assessment
Assessment of speech, language, cognition, and swallowing can consist of informal (non-standard or criterion based) assessments, formal standardized tests, instrumental measures, language sample analyses, and oral motor mechanism exam. Informal assessments rely on a clinician's knowledge and experience to evaluate an individual's abilities across areas of concern. Formal standardized testing is used to measure an individuals' abilities against peers. Instrumental measures (e.g., nasometer)utilizes equipment to measure physiological or anatomical impairments (e.g., Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) or Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBS)). Oral motor assessments review the strength, co-ordination, range of movement, symmetry and speed of cranial nerves V, VII, IX, X and XII. The Australian National Guidelines for Stroke Management state that the presence or absence of a gag reflex in an oro-motor examination is not sufficient evidence to determine if someone has a swallowing disorder.
Referrals to Speech and Language Pathologists should be made if there are any concerns regarding slow or limited communication development in children, cognition (limited attention, disorganization etc. following by a Traumatic Brain Injury), difficulty with word-finding, errors in speech sound production, or for Augmentative Alternative Communication needs.
Clients and patients requiring speech and language pathology services
Speech-Language Pathologists work with clients and patients who can present a wide range of issues.
Infants and children
- Infants with injuries due to complications at birth, feeding and swallowing difficulties, including dysphagia
- Children with mild, moderate or severe:
- Genetic disorders that adversely affect speech, language and/or cognitive development including cleft palate, Down syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder[11][12]
- Autism,[13] including Asperger syndrome[14]
- Developmental delay
- Cranial nerve damage
- Hearing loss
- Craniofacial anomalies that adversely affect speech, language and/or cognitive development
- Language delay
- Specific language impairment
- Specific difficulties in producing sounds, called articulation disorders, (including vocalic /r/ and lisps)
- Pediatric traumatic brain injury
- Childhood apraxia of speech
Some children are eligible to receive speech therapy services, including assessment and lessons through the public school system. If not, private therapy is readily available through personal lessons with a qualified Speech-Language Pathologist or the growing field of telepractice.[15] More at-home or combination treatments have become readily available to address specific types of articulation disorders. The use of mobile applications in speech therapy is also growing as an avenue to bring treatment into the home.
Children and adults
- Adults with mild, moderate, or severe eating, feeding and swallowing difficulties, including dysphagia
- Adults with mild, moderate, or severe language difficulties as a result of:
- Stroke
- Progressive neurological conditions
- cancer of the head, neck and throat (including laryngectomy)
- mental health issues
- transgender voice therapy (usually for male-to-female individuals)

US teen Shiffrin approaches WCup top with a giggle
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin is rapidly maturing as a ski racer. Off the slopes, the American still giggles like any other 17-year-old girl.
Her fresh and carefree attitude has kept her grounded in her breakthrough World Cup season, highlighted by her second career victory at Friday's night slalom.
The win sent her to the top of the slalom standings and made her the first American to win two World Cup races before turning 18.
Shiffrin tells The Associated Press she is "trying to find the edge of what I can ski."
Voted World Cup Rookie of the Year last season by her peers, Shiffrin says, "I have to remember that I am only 17 and I feel like a baby sometimes and I don't hide that."

The Green Bay Packers have decided to save their money and not designate Greg Jennings or anyone else as a franchise or transistion player. They were one of 24 teams that made that choice by yesterdays deadline. Even though Green Bay is a reported 22 million under the salary cap...this was the right move. They have a receiveing corps that is better than most even without Jennings and can now use that money to get extensions signed with Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews & BJ Raji
The Bucks have won four in a row after topping Utah in OT last night. Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings led the way although they also got huge contributions from JJ Redick and Larry Sanders. Jennings has had 15+ assists for two straight games...the first Buck to do that since Sam Cassell in 1999. They head West for 3 games this week starting in LA tomorrow night vs the Clippers. They also face Golden State and Sacramento.
The Brewers take on Team Canada today which means John Axford and Jim Henderson could pitch against their own teammates.

The challenge is not in just capturing the moment, but also having the correct exposure and frame/composition ready. Many photographers have a sense of the moment, but not the framing. The aesthetic sense of framing is commonly referred to as the "eye". So someone with a good "eye" will have interesting photos. I rarely crop a photo more than 10-30% of the area. In most cases what you see is the way the shot was taken.
Solos and duets are easy to shoot but corps work is a challenge, due to coordination of the dancers and size of formations.
Having said that, most photographers with digital cameras, can shoot close to 200 photos in a 20-30 min piece (depending on the style ad choreography). The final yield of "good" photos is smaller. I have noticed that in Ballet solos and duets, 20% of the photos are not usable. In corps work, 50-60% of the photos have to be thrown away. Artistic directors, and marketing eliminate more photos due to their stringent requirements.
My first experience of loving the work of a dance photographer was with Martha Swope, who created unforgettable b&w images of the early decades of the NYCB. (Not to mention that great photo of Balanchine watching Mourka, his cat, as he leaping into a truly prodigious tour en l'air.) (1)
I also admire the work done by Steven Caras, first at NYCB, and now for Miami City Ballet. Caras was a NYCB dancer whose photographic interests were encouraged by Balanchine. He has an uncanny sympathy for the way the dancer's body moves. I guess his most famous photo is not actually of a dance. It's Balanchine's last curtain call ("last bow") at the NY State Theater on closing night, 1982. (2)
Who are the dance photographer's you most admire? And what makes them special?

My brother, Ben, recently posted a Broccoli Cheese Soup recipe that he created as a special at the restaurant where he works. The soup looked soooooooo good. While I didn't ask Ben for his recipe, since I figure he needs to keep those for the restaurant, I came up with my own that tastes pretty darn good.
This soup is more of a Cream of Broccoli, but you can definitely add some cheese at the end if you want to make it more cheesy. Serve it with a loaf of crusty french bread and your family will love it. Even my husband, who thinks Broccoli is the worst vegetable on the face the earth, ate two helpings of this soup.......and so did my girls. Not bad I say......not bad.

Our 9th Baby!
Maureen, our newest resident at Mercy House, gave birth to a healthy 7.5 lb baby boy on April 30, 2013!
He is our 9th baby in the house and we are so excited to have him. He's a miracle.
His young mother has spoken often of her attempts to abort him because she was so desperate and lost. She is already thanking God for rescuing both of them!
She quickly fell in love with her son and we are praising God with her.

All Things
Each day is filled with miracles at The Mercy House. Read about the miracle Kristen experienced today over at We Are THAT Family. When Elizabeth came to The Mercy House, her transition was hard, and we feared we would lose her. To see her smiling today is just another reminder that God makes all things new.

Help Us Build a Playground
Do you want to know what the best thing about starting a maternity home in Kenya is?
Not only do we get to see young girls transform from scared, lonely, hopeless girls burdened with the world and child, we get to help them become mothers and watch them fall in love with their babies who were sometimes products of their abuse and usually unwanted. We now have eight babies--six babies over 1 year old and two 10 month olds. (This past weekend we brought in new girls--more on that later, but please pray for this difficult transition for all involved). Our adorable babies are healthy, beautiful and very mobile.
Because we have so many living in our home, space is often a challenge, as is keeping areas toddler-proof. Maybe it sound familiar? The weather in our area of Kenya is beautiful most months of the year and we've been dreaming of a playground for our babies to roam freely and safely, with a gated area to keep them from wandering off.
Stephanie (co-founder of (in)courage) is celebrating her miracle baby by throwing a baby shower over at incourage today with the help of Pure Charity! And Mercy House gets the gifts! You can be a part of building a playground for our babies and toddlers at Mercy House Kenya! You can learn more here.

Welcome to Rehema House High School:
How to Make a School:
We had desks and a chalkboard built, bought books and supplies with money you donated and hired some local teachers. We added some very eager students who value the opportunity to learn:
Four of our eight girls are in high school and are so excited to have resumed their schooling to help prepare them for a future and certificate of completion (so important in Kenya!)
We are so thankful for the four part time teachers who are educating our girls (about 5 hours a week each) in:
Math & Chemistry
Biology & Agriculture
Geography and Kiswahili
English & Literature
The rest of our girls are being taught by a primary teacher. This allows us to help one another, along with the housemothers with childcare.
One of our prize pupils:
Our school budget is approximately $700 a month. This allows us to hire multiple qualified part time teachers, purchase supplies, and books. Click here if you'd like to be a part of this vision.

Loving Mercy is hard.

The girls make products. You buy products. Your friends buy products.
The funds are used to pay Mercy House's rent and build the girls' savings accounts.
It's that easy!

Criminalization biggest threat to HIV prevention, conference hears
Criminalizing the nondisclosure of HIV status prior to sex could have a stigmatizing effect on the queer community and defeat health initiatives aimed at slowing the spread of the disease, a Vancouver conference heard Oct 12.
"The issue of criminalization is probably the biggest threat to HIV prevention we're facing right now," Dr Mark Tyndall, head of infectious diseases at Ottawa Hospital, said. The threat of prosecution for nondisclosure can include stigmatization, people not getting tested, HIV people being less willing to disclose out of fear, the encouragement of greater anonymous sex and an increase of sexual transmission in jails, he elaborated.
"Criminal prosecutions are proceeding in a legal vacuum," Tyndall added, pointing out the irony that courts are evidence-driven yet have no evidence to show that criminalization works.
"We have sex and we have all the charged issues and no one wants to talk about this. The court decisions only aggravate this," said Glyn Townson of Positive Living BC.
"Criminalizing HIV disclosure and other matters makes my life miserable and makes my patients' lives miserable," leading HIV researcher and former International AIDS Society president Julio Montaner told the Criminalization of HIV Non-Disclosure: Science and the Law seminar.
While use of antiretrovirals has converted what used to be a fatal disease into a manageable condition, HIV is once again being discriminated against and stigmatized because of a lack of understanding and a lack of will to control it, Montaner said. "The political will is not there at the federal level," he said. "They don't know or they don't care."
It is clear that treatment is the best way to handle morbidity, mortality and transmission, Montaner emphasized. "What part of this don't people get?" he asked.
Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network executive director Richard Elliott said much of the legal case volume around the issue stems from the 1998 Supreme Court of Canada's R vs Cuerrier ruling, which stated that a positive person can be convicted of aggravated sexual assault for not disclosing his or her serostatus to sex partners before engaging in an activity representing a significant risk of HIV transmission.
Since then, he said, courts across Canada have seen an increase in such cases. "It's about the risk of transmission," Elliott said, explaining the prosecution has to show a link between nondisclosure of what caused harm and a refusal to have sex had it been disclosed.
He noted that the Cuerrier decision indicated that "the careful use of condoms might be found to reduce the risk of harm that it could no longer be significant." It has to be unprotected sex before the Criminal Code is going to step in, Elliott added.
But BC Crown counsel Janet Dickie said that when cases come up that are at the far end of the scale of egregiousness, the Crown must prosecute, citing the case of Adrian Nduwayo, who was convicted of numerous sexual assault counts. She said the straight man knew he was positive, had been counselled repeatedly, yet still had sex with multiple partners.
"That kind of behaviour is totally heinous," she said. "We're there to protect peoples' sexual integrity, which I say is enshrined in Section 7 of the Charter (life, liberty and security of the person)." In Nduwayo's case, Dickie said she never considered going below aggravated sexual assault.
Justice James Williams ruled the women would likely not have consented to sex had they known Nduwayo's status and was satisfied the women's lives were endangered by his actions.
Lawyer Jason Gratl has been defence counsel in criminalization cases.
He said there have been problems with a lack of knowledge among police about how HIV can be transmitted. He said that is compounded when a person's identity is disclosed.
Elliott said things become more complex when people begin wanting charges laid in cases of biting or spitting.
"This is not something we should be throwing the book at," he said. "What we are seeing is an over-exaggerated version of HIV panic." Further, media coverage of such cases exacerbates the stigma around HIV, he added.
"We have to live with that," said Glyn Townson of Positive Living BC. "We have sex and we have all the charged issues and no one wants to talk about this," he noted. "The court decisions only aggravate this."
"People, when they find out they're HIV positive, change their behaviour," Townson said. "We can't reach them if they're not getting tested."
In order to deal with the issue, the Legal Network has developed policy guideline suggestions for the Ontario attorney general's office. Suggestions include not treating nondisclosure cases in the same way as sexual assaults and assaults involving force, coercion or violence.
"They should also maybe consider laying lesser charges," said policy analyst Cécile Kazatchkine. "If someone is convicted of a sexual offence, they may be registered as a sex offender for life."

Alexander Colello was one year away from paying off the mortgage on his Midland Beach home when Hurricane Sandy hit.
"I'm retired and I am just waiting to enjoy life now," he says.
That enjoyment has been put on hold as Colello figures out what to do next.
The New York City Department of Buildings initially gave his home a red sticker, meaning it it is unsafe, but more than a month after the storm, it was changed to a yellow, which allows restricted use of the property.
Right around the same time, architects from the Staten Island Quikstart program came to inspect his home.
"The water was up about 3.5, four feet," says James Oliva of Rampulla Associate Architects. "It had compromised all of the fire walls. Party walls between the buildings. Firewall on the exterior of the building. The subfloor had been compromised. We did find some structure that was leaning."
Olivia is one of the members of the Staten Island chapter of the American Institute of Architects that is offering free consultations. The program is put on by the AIA in conjunction with Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro and City Councilmembers James Oddo and Vincent Ignizio. After homeowners set up an appointment, their entire property is inspected for structural damage.
Shortly after architects assess the home, they will give owners a report that will not only lay out what specific damage they have but also give them a plan as to how they can repair it.
"It just tells them what the threshholds are so they can understand where their house stands with regard to code requirements, with regard to zoning issues, and with regard to all of the construction flood-proofing issues," says Bob Englert with the Staten Island borough president's office.
The hope is to give homeowners the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.
"I'm so happy that they came out here and checked into it and looked into my house and it is going to move me forward," Colello says.
To enroll in the Staten Island Quikstart program, call 718-816-2000.

Health Information
Prostate Cancer
Other Treatment
Active surveillance or watchful waiting
Active surveillance means that you will be watched closely by your doctor. If you are a younger or active man who is at low risk, this will mean regular checkups. If the cancer starts to grow more quickly, you will need to have other treatment, such as surgery. Your regular checkups may include Reference digital rectal exams Opens New Window, Reference PSA tests Opens New Window, and Reference biopsies.
Active surveillance is a good treatment choice for younger or active men who have low-risk cancer that hasn't spread.Reference 5
- The main reason to choose active surveillance is to avoid or delay the side effects of treatments.
- The main reason to choose other treatment (and not active surveillance) is to not miss the chance to cure the cancer. If the cancer grows and spreads, it may be harder to treat.
Watchful waiting also means that you will be closely watched by your doctor. But the goal of watchful waiting is to treat symptoms that cause problems rather than to cure the cancer. For some older men or those who aren't expected to live more than 10 years, the main reason to choose watchful waiting is to have the best possible quality of life.
Radiation therapy
Reference Radiation therapy may be used alone or combined with Reference hormone treatment or surgery to treat prostate cancer. Like surgery, it is most effective in treating cancer that hasn't spread outside the prostate. When combined with surgery, radiation is used to destroy any cancer cells that might be left behind and to relieve pain when the cancer has spread.
Radiation treatment for prostate cancer includes:
External radiation. Also called external beam radiotherapy, or EBRT, radiation
therapy uses high-energy rays, such as X-rays, to destroy the cancer. It is
usually given in multiple doses over several weeks. Radiation destroys tissue,
so it may damage the nerves along the side of the prostate that affect your
ability to have an erection. If you already have bowel problems, external
radiation may make your symptoms worse. The most common forms of external
radiation are:
- Conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). It uses a three-dimensional planning system to target a strong dose of radiation to the prostate cancer. This helps to protect healthy tissue from radiation.
- Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). It uses newer 3D-CRT technology to target the cancer.
- Proton beam therapy. This is radiation therapy that uses a different type of energy (protons) rather than X-rays. This allows a higher amount of specifically directed radiation, which protects nearby healthy tissues (especially the rectum). Sometimes proton beam therapy is combined with X-ray therapy. (It is available only at big medical centers.)
Internal radiation (brachytherapy). Brachytherapy is a one-time radiation treatment that
uses tiny radioactive seeds. After you are given anesthesia, the doctor uses a
needle to inject the seeds into your prostate, where they slowly release
radiation directly into the cancer. Sometimes external radiation or hormone
therapy is added to brachytherapy. If you already have urinary problems,
brachytherapy may make your symptoms worse.
- High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. For this form of brachytherapy, radioactive material is placed into the prostate for a very brief period of time (seconds to minutes) and then removed. The radiation is delivered this way several times.
- Opens New Window Prostate Cancer: Should I Have Radiation or Surgery for Localized Prostate Cancer? Opens New Window
Reference Cryosurgery, also called cryoablation, freezes the prostate gland to kill the cancer. This is often done when surgery isn't an option and when the cancer is advanced but still inside the prostate gland. And the results, including side effects such as Reference incontinence Opens New Window or an injury to the rectum, depend very much on the doctor's skill and experience. With cryosurgery, the prostate gland isn't removed.
Clinical trials
Your doctor may talk to you about joining a research study called a Reference clinical trial if one is available in your area. Clinical trials are research studies to look for ways to improve treatments for prostate cancer.
One treatment being studied in clinical trials in the U.S. is high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). This uses an intense heat from focused sound waves to kill cancer cells. HIFU is also used for men who have cancer inside the prostate but who cannot have surgery. HIFU is a treatment that is used in Canada, Europe, and the United States. In the U.S., HIFU is being used in clinical trials. It is not yet FDA-approved.
Complementary therapy
People sometimes use Reference complementary therapies along with medical treatment to help relieve symptoms and side effects of cancer treatments. Some of the complementary therapies that may be helpful include:
- Reference Acupuncture Opens New Window to relieve pain. Acupuncture may also help reduce hot flashes from taking hormone therapy.
- Reference Meditation Opens New Window or Reference yoga to relieve stress.
- Reference Massage and Reference biofeedback Opens New Window to reduce pain and ease tension.
- Reference Reference Breathing exercises for relaxation.
Mind-body treatments like those mentioned above may help you feel better and cope better with treatment. These treatments also may reduce chronic low back pain, joint pain, headaches, and pain from treatments.
Before you try a complementary therapy, talk to your doctor about the possible value and potential side effects. Let your doctor know if you are already using any such therapies. Complementary therapies aren't meant to take the place of standard medical treatment. But they may improve your quality of life and help you deal with the stress and side effects of cancer treatment.

Apparently some Chicago schools are forbidding lunches brought from home unless there's a medical excuse. I'm just curious if anyone has had to deal with this yet or has any thoughts about how it should be dealt with - protest or finding a friendly doc to write a note?
Absolutely proposterous. This type of mentality is that of moronic origin. If my child was subjected to a rule like this, I would fight this like a wild tiger. Parents can say to their children "Eat what I cook or starve" (shout out to bb for that comment), but if a school official has a problem with what my child brought to school, and essentially told them "Eat what I cook or starve", I would EAT them alive. I would win. Without question, I would win. Ah man now you got me all riled up Marina. The Principal or whoever made the final decision might 'intend well', but that does NOT excuse the poor conclusion to decide to remove everyone's freedoms by forcing the kids into a eating program that is only 'healthy' by SAD standards. Being in a position of leadership as high as a Principal of an elementary school means that you must use more discernment than this. Remove the poisons like soda dispensers and candy bar machines from the schools. But I cannot support this decision. Definitely not. Personally, I would rebel against it very hard. You must let parents parent their children. Attacking the problem from the root is the correct path. And that is that they are observing that kids are bringing food and drink to school that is unhealthy. Educate the parents. Educate the kids. That's the answer. |
I read that article yesterday and my first instinct was "WTF???" but then I see some of the lunches kids bring to school and man, I sympathize with the principal. However, a better alternative would be to hold some good old fashioned nutrition classes and perhaps, hold a contest for the most nutritious school lunch. Here's the thing - there are food deserts out there and we are in an age when people simply don't have access to proper nutritional information and/or foods. I love what Michelle Obama is doing (politics aside) as well as people like Jamie Oliver in bringing nutrition to the forefront of people's conversations. The article is relevant and I hope it will be used to bring an elevated discourse about SAD. Instead of lashing out about the principal's decision, it would be more productive to discuss why she felt the need to take such a radical approach and try to fix that problem. |
Tom Naughton wrote a great article about his kids' school lunch in Tennessee here (http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2011/02/03/my-thanks-to-the-dietary-guidelines-committee/): Could a bagged lunch be much worse? Maybe if it's a Coke and a bag of Oreos. It's no surprise that the number of homeschoolers grows about 10% every year. |
Here's an article I wrote, just before this story broke. It illustrates what our schools consider healthy... Can you imagine allowing these people to decide what our children should eat? http://www.latestinpaleo.com/blog/2011/4/5/this-is-the-healthy-snack-letter-from-my-kids-school.html |
When my daughter brings a 'made from home school lunch', her friends don't recognize what she is eating. She said all they eat is pre-packaged, processed junk food. When she goes to her friends house's, same thing, junk food and mostly no meals served. They think she is a "health nut," and would like a veggie burger! She says "NO! I eat meat!!!" My school offers breakfast, guess what is for breakfast on some days? Cinnamon rolls. Other days are french toast sticks. The lunches and breakfast are ridiculous and not homemade. They do offer a (dead) salad bar with more of their prepackaged veggies. When I was a child, I was on the "free lunch" program and I could get breakfast. Everyday I was served an egg with either bacon or sausage, probably had wheat toast & butter, with milk. With the government involved in the food pyramid I don't see how it can be changed. |
I think what the principal is trying to do is well-meaning; however, not the right way to do it. Junk needs to be out of the schools - especially elementary. Kids are going to be kids and want the junk that their friends have. I would have liked to see the principal ban junk food and soda in lunches rather than not allow home-made lunches. Don't know how the school would go about that - but in a perfect world hey? Love reading some of the comments in the article "my grandson is a picky-eater" yep -kids are picky and crafty little buggers - gotta out-smart them with wholesome healthy foods for their own good rather than giving in to lunchables. |
i live in an city and i actually sympathize with the principal, even if i don't agree with her. being on a morning commute and watching the crap that kids are fed(pop tarts, plastic bags with fruit loops or frosted flakes, fructose- laden sippe things- this isn't including the ones i see eating candy for breakfast) and sending them to school on a super sugar high and all that entails must definitely frustrate those trying to teach them. the meals that they are offering them aren't good by our standards but by the type of fare that most of those kids are getting, it is better. the big picture is that the science/medical/pharmaceutical/big agriculture cabal that has cooked the science on health and lobbied the hell out of the gov't to institute recommendations based on that science(the lunches she chooses for those kids definitely look like the food pyramid to me) have let those kids down more than this principal has. |
Yes, because the government should tell our children how to eat. The same government that brought us the "food pyramid," the FDA, and the USDA. When the food pyramid is turned upside down, subsidies for corn and other grains are abolished, and big pharma doesn't run the FDA, I'll consider listening to the government when it comes to what food our kids should eat. Until then, I will decide how to best feed my children, thankuverymuch. |
It is not up to school administrators to decide what my child will eat. This principal is way out of line. If parents prefer to send a lunch, that's none of the principal's business! (There is no such policy at my daughter's school, but if there were, I would raise hell.) It's bad enough that many kids hardly get any time to eat lunch (20 minutes for my kindergartener). Super short lunch periods only teach them to eat with haste and not take pleasure in tasting their food or in the company of their peers. Eating quickly lends itself to overeating. Pile on the stuff that's served in most schools and throw in a dash of little to no gym class and what do we have before us? Just look around at any playground. I've never seen so many overweight kids. |
My prediction is there will be a story next week where the kids will be allowed to bring their lunches again. I think this prohibition is stepping into issues this school is not considering (i.e. health, religion, economic, etc.). If I wanted to "protest," I would send my kid to another school if possible. If not, then maybe send a snack in his/her backpack that technically wouldn't be taken to lunch? Tough one. |
Here is an article with an actual picture of the school approved lunches: http://www.imperfectparent.com/topics/2011/04/11/chicago-school-wont-allow-students-to-bring-lunch-to-school-anymore/ You'll note that the "healthy" lunches appear to contain raisins, apples, milk (presumably skim), and pizza. I'll let that speak for itself. |
I wrote a blog post about this and broke down the nutrition specs on the government's sample lunch menu on my blog http://paleofreedom.com/2011/04/no-such-thing-as-a-free-lunch/ I have one autistic and one gluten intolerant child, so obviously I am totally opposed to this. I would personally home school, but I know not everyone has this option. I am offended by school board trustees or legislators who have no clue what they are talking about trying to feed my child or tell me I cannot. It's absurd! PS- "They" do not care at all. It's about money, which I also explain how much, where from and who gets it in my blog post if you're interested. |
We make lunch for my 2nd grader every day. We give him the choice and he can buy lunch if he wants. To his credit, he always refuses and wants our lunches. It is sometimes a challenge to pack something that can withstand a few hours of being knocked around a backpack at room temp, while still being fresh and rich in nutrients when eaten, but it is a challenge I gladly accept. He and his buddies refer to the pizza as "death pizza" because it tastes so bad and has apparently caused some fireworks later in the school day (vomiting). He says that many kids that buy their lunches every day juat buy 1 or 2 desserts. Those are the same ones that he complains about being "over active" during class. He also says that kids that pack their lunches usually have nothing more than prepackaged chips, bars, etc. which are bad but sadly better than what they serve in school. U.S. schools have so far to go to provide basic nutrition to school kids that I think they will never get there without profound and radical changes to the whole concept of food. It is particularly sad that our school children eat worse than our prisoners. |

Hi, thanks for your great site, the ISP Email tutorial is a great reference. However, there is some room for improvement: your website has a very ugly font, it is near to unreadable. I do not understand why since a few years some smaller websites suffer from this ugly-font desease, but it seems to be something that has to do with bad browser rendering and not building websites for all browsers etc. I am using Win XP / Win 7 and Debian / Ubuntu, but this webiste fonts look scrumbled and broken on all systems, also I tried several different machines, same result.
The font rendering is excelent for other programs and most other websites, only a few (small) websites suffer from this.
You can see a screenshot of how your site looks here:
This is not jpeg artifacts destroying the font rendering in this picture! The site looks like this on the screen!
Another annoyance:
The last line in this comment field is not fully visible while writing - see this screenshot:
No, I did not move the scrollbar up, I am just writing, just try it yourself.
Maybe it is better to ditch drupal - there are much better tools out there that give no headache, like e.g. http://docpad.org/

I too use Debian and have no such problems with the viewing of this site.
Submitted by Christoph Haas on
Thanks for the feedback. To be honest I'm browsing my own page from two different computers and operating systems and everything looks right. I'm using a standard Google font that is loaded from Drupal. So I can't explain why the rendering is so crappy for your.
Drupal sucks big time - I totally admit that. If there was once decent open-source CMS I'd switch instantly. I've tried Joomla and Typo3 recently (just for a few hours) and wasn't convinced either. Some people even keep telling me they use Wordpress as a CMS which is completely ridiculous.
I'm just watching the Docpad screencast out of curiosity. So far it looks more like a Javascript-based web framework. As I'm rather dealing with lots of content I'd prefer a CMS. If I started to hand-craft workaround.org I'd probably consider doing that with Rails. But thanks for the hint.

I use WinXP (IE8), Win7(IE8, FF, Safari) and MacOSx 10.6.8 (Safari) on different hardware. This site and its fonts looks perfect on all systems, no problem.

Bret Bielema certainly didnt expect something like this. With a potential Heisman Trophy winner returning and a solid team heading into the football season, it appeared the Badgers were poised to make a run at the Big Ten Championship in a severly weakend division. The beating of Montee Ball and subsequent news that a number of players were involved in a fight that led to Ball's beating has filled the start of training camp with uncertainty. A couple of reserve players were not with the team yesterday although the coach wouldnt comment on whether that was related to the investigation. Ball is out until at least the last week before the Sept 1 opener and Bielema made it clear yesterday that if discipline is warranted for Ball or anyone else...he would do it. Ball continues to deny that he participated in any fight that led to his beating. We'll see.
The Packers are a banged up football team and Mike McCarthy ended practice early last night. 8 players have already been declared out for this Thursday night's game including Greg Jennings who is battling back from a concussion. Brandon Saine and Sam Shields were the latest casualties at practice Monday night.
Also word came down that a woman would be one of the officials for Thursday game. hat's a first in the NFL. The league is using replacement officials from the college ranks as the owners have locked out the regualr refs in a dispute over salary and benefits. The talk is already starting, including one knuckle dragging, mouth breathing Neandrathal on a message board on this web site that said "football is a man's game and women have no place on the field". Hey, if she can do the job why shouldnt she be out there? We certainly have seen enough incompetent officiating from men over the years. If a women can do a better job, go for it.
The Woodchucks are headed to the Playoffs for the first time in quite awhile. They hold the tiebreaker over Madison and can still get home field advantage if they can do well on their road trip this week. A big three game series begins in La Crosse tonight and you can hear the games on Foxsports1390.
The Brewers beat the Reds last night. Yovanni Gallardo won his 10th and the team hit three homers in the 6th inning. Nori Aoki made a game saving catch with the bases loaded in the 8th. Jean Segura was called up to make his major league debut. He is the centerpiece in the trade that sent Zach Grienke to the Angels. The team made the move after Ceasr Izturis was claimed on waivers by Washington. Segura was 0-4 but hit two line drive outs to right field.
I'm not a big soccer fan but I did enjoy the win by Team USA over Canada at the Olympics yesterday...it set up a gold medal match with their old rival from Japan.
After spending most of last season undersized the Bucks won't make that mistake again. A few weeks after aquiring 7 footer Samuel Dalembert from Houston, the team signed 7'1" Joel Pryzbilla to a free agent contract. Przybilla began his career as a Buck way back in 2000 and should be a capable backup.
Songs of The day (from my I-pod)
Just A Season-The Byrds (1970) a nice little McGuinn tune from a double album (Untitled) that featured one live record and one studio recording. The personnell on the album included new Byrd Skip Battin and the outstanding guitar player Clarence White.
Just Because-Anita Baker (1988) as soulful as it got in the late 80s.

A long time ago when I first started playing COD4, I downloaded the game and used a keygen for a serial key.
After looking back at all this that was wrong of me because someone else who used the same keygen used a hack and got banned at PBBans.
I am currently getting denied at a cod4 league because they think I am a hacker because my alias shows up while using a new and legit GUID.
My GUID
How can I convince them that I am innocent? It would be great if a staff member could reply, I could then forward the leaders at that league to this post.

How do I diagnose Node configuration problems?
26. srpna 2011 14:27
I have a new cluster where currently only the head node has my service application files installed. Jobs run fine on that single node, but show failures (State: Failed) for task Ids representing the other nodes in the cluster. I fully expect to see errors in this situation (I'm specifically testing for this condition), but I'm not sure how I can get the detail of the error. I was expecting something like "FileNotFound: C:\...\MyService.dll", but instead all I get in the Cluster Manager "View Job" screen is:
The task is running on a node which is no longer usable by the task's job. This could happen because the nodegroups have been changed in the cluster, or because the node has been added to the job's node exclusion list.
Where could I expect to see more detail on the actual problem (ie. "You didn't install the service yet, dummy!")?
I _am_ going to get calls from my customers about nodes they haven't configured correctly.
Všechny reakce
3. října 2011 14:18
You need to correctly deploy your service.
1. Put your "myservicename.dll" file on each compute node in cluster.
2. Put your service config file "myservicename.config" on each compute and broker node on folder c:\program files\microsoft hpc pack 2008 r2\serviceregistration\ and share it.
Don't forget to change .config file to set a path where .dll is placed.
Also check host files for "Private.*" entries.
I hope, this would help you
17. října 2011 20:43Yes, _I_ understand all that, but if my customer has 1,000 nodes and one of them isn't configured correctly because one of their sysadmins didn't drink enough coffee before installing my software on 999 of those nodes, the diagnostics aren't helping him (and by extension, me, usually at 2am on the weekend) to figure out that he's missing some files.

If i understand you correctly, to diagnose SOA service your could run Diagnostic "SOA Service loading test' in HPC Manager and configure it to check your service by writing your service name in "Configure Test Parameters". So you would see an error on incorrect configured nodes.
Or if you would like to check some files existance, you could write simple command like "clusrun if not exist MyFilePath (echo Error)".
19. října 2011 18:55
My customer's admin guy would love to be able to run that diagnotic, but he can't: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowshpcdevs/thread/6f1384f9-fab0-4544-90ea-85a8ffb87331

If you're looking for a classic gift for to give to your company's associates or to clients padfolios are the way to go! Some may think they're pretty standard or even boring, I like to think they're timeless and even fun gift ideas! They're also a great purchase for any budget. They can come as simple and tradition or tech savvy as you'd like!
This padfolio is your traditional option. It includes pockets for business cards, loose papers, and a pen. It is great for college students to have when they're going through the interviewing process. It would be great for university career centers, bookstores, or business clubs/ fraternities. Also for recruiting agencies it would be a great gift to give to individuals who have signed on to have you career search for them. Its also a great padfolio to take to short business meetings where you will be doing a lot of note taking – very simple and professional.
If you're looking for something a little snazzier I suggest going with an item that has an extra pocket and space to hold a cell phone, calculator, credit cards, USB, and business card in a see-through compartment. This is a great middle of the road pad folio- you really can't go wrong with this item. I particularly like the curved edge it gives it a little bit of a dynamic look instead of being your normal rectangular look.
For those of us who use our iPads or tablets for EVERYTHING this is the pad folio for you! Take a look below: It literally has everything you could ever need in one place! It has a pocket that Velcro's shut, 2 USB holders, a cell phone holder that allows you to see the phone screen, credit card holders, a zippered compartment for your cords, a pen/stylus holder, and notepad. It eliminates the annoyance of looking for all of your smaller items in a large briefcase or computer bag. Its also slim and sleek giving your company a very professional look. The entire pad folio zippers shut ensuring that nothing will fall out or get lost! Its a great corporate gift for clients or members of your own company. This honestly is great for your clients or associate's who are traveling or always on the go!
Last but not least, there is a padfolio that has a handle for easy carrying, spaces for credit cards, a calculator, 2 USB's, a notepad, and even binder rings! if you're looking to hold any kind of product catalogues or lengthier printed powerpoint presentations this is the product for you and your company! Did I mention its great for holding reports, budgets, or invoices?
I bet you didn't know there were so many different options out there! If you have any questions regarding these customized padfolios please don't hesitate to call me at 615-221-1158 x108 or call our main line at 866-604-6774 and ask for Lauren!

Can you tell me what paper line the United States of America map was from that you got from Archivers? I have been looking for it everywhere!
