FRIDAY, July 22 (HealthDay News) -- Rebecca Reyes's job at Duke
University Hospital is to help fill in the cracks in the system
that's intended to make sure everyone gets good medical care.
Reyes works as coordinator of the hospital's Latino Health
Project, a job she's held for 10 years.
"The hospital created this position," Reyes said. "Various leaders got together and realized they needed someone to pay more attention to this population in a more structured way."
Most of the problems she encounters involve language, as
English-speaking doctors, nurses and administrators struggle to
communicate with Spanish-speaking patients and families.
But language problems spread beyond treatment issues.
"People receive a bill, and it's all in English," Reyes said. "How can we make sure our bills are bilingual, or how can we make sure they can access a bilingual person to help them? You can start feeling that a certain part of the population just doesn't want to pay their bills, and that's not accurate. They just don't understand the document that's been sent to them."
English-language prescription bottles are another potential
problem. "We work with our pharmacists to use bilingual or visual
instructions," she said.
And, language issues can crop up in the most unexpected places.
"That's part of our work, constantly identifying where the gaps
are," Reyes said. To get Spanish-speaking people to participate in
clinical trials, for instance, you need Spanish-speaking people to
explain what the trials are about and will involve, she said.
The other health barrier faced by Latinos at the hospital, Reyes
said, is a lack of knowledge about how the health-care system works
in the United States.
As an example, she cites Chile, where residents often go to a
healer if they're sick. "Now you're here and you get sick, and you
are wondering where you go," Reyes said.
Despite these issues, Reyes believes that many of the health
disparities between the Latino community and white Americans derive
from a social context, and are not solely due to failings of the
health-care system.
"If we're going to look at obesity, why is it we don't have a grocery store in the inner city? Why do they only exist in the suburbs?" she asked. "Why are liquor ads all over the place in the inner city, but not in the suburbs? Isn't that interesting?"
Reyes also does outreach into the community, working with
different agencies that help the Spanish-speaking and immigrant
populations to promote better health. For example, if the Hispanic
Center is holding a health fair, Reyes will try to find doctors,
nurses or students to help staff it. It's difficult to do a lot of
that, however, as Reyes is an office of one, and her hands are
"I work more with agencies that are doing this, to see how Duke Hospital can participate in these areas," she said.

The other day, we told you about some research from Informa Telecoms & Media that claimed Android-powered devices would surpass iPhone devices by 2012. Thanks to a sale at Amazon.com on the T-Mobile G1 (the only Android device currently on the market) that statistic is one step closer to becoming reality.
Amazon.com is currently offering the T-Mobile G1 for $97.99—just over half what this Android-based handset normally sells for. The regular price for the G1 is $180 with a two-year contract directly from T-Mobile. Amazon.com is also throwing in free two-day shipping when you purchase this phone with a service plan, so you won't have to wait long to enjoy surfing the net from this 3G compatible handset.
Current T-Mobile customers are excluded from the Amazon deal. In addition, new customers must still sign up for a two-year agreement. Even though existing T-Mobile customers can't get in on this great Amazon.com deal, many Wal-Marts are offering the G1 for about $150.
The fine print on Amazon.com states that if you deactivate the G1, cancel your line of service, or reduce the value of your service plan within 181 days of activation, you must pay a penalty up to $250 plus tax. There's also a purchase limit of five devices per household.
As you'll recall, the T-Mobile G1 is a consumer-oriented smartphone with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, GPS, and Wi-Fi. It also has a 3.2 megapixel camera and a microSD expansion slot. The G1 is most special because it is the first (and only, to date) Android-powered device. Android is a mobile platform that was developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance.

I take it the phone is not selling as well as planned then?
i think its selling fairly well, judging by the amount of people i see using them on campus. this is some good news, my mom is looking at getting a new phone and plan, perhaps i can talk her into getting the g1... probably not, but its one step closer.

UNDATED (WHTC) - A little bit of good news for Michigan residents who suffered mortgage servicing abuses from the national foreclosure crisis. Attorney General Bill Schuette says roughly 72-thousand residents will split about 107-million dollars from the National Mortgage Settlement. The total restitution for all states in the country comes to about 1.5 billion dollars. That comes to right around 15-hundred dollars for each valid claim in the country. Homeowners should also be wary of scams. Unscrupulous companies are contacting homeowners with offers of assistance for a fee to receive the settlement payment. You should not pay a fee to receive a payment under the agreement.

When friends gather over a meal at Carleton-Willard Village, telling "war stories" isn't just a figure of speech. A look around the table reflects a range of roles during World War II. One repaired battleships. Another flew for the Royal Air Force. Here sits a former Red Cross nurse; there a younger sister who saw her elder brother for the last time as he departed in uniform. The residents of this Bedford continuing care community, now in their 80s and 90s, were young men and women in the days of the war — yet memories of their experiences are as sharp as they were seven decades ago.
As Allan Sloan recalls, he recognized as soon as he and his wife moved to Carleton-Willard that there was something distinctive about their new neighbors.

PULASKI, WI (WTAQ) - The Pulaski School Board will discuss a recent conviction by one of its members tonight.
Christine Vandenhouten was given a citation for hosting an underage drinking party at her home the night of May 11th.
She recently paid a $366-dollar fine.
Because she's an elected official and not a district employee, the school system cannot pursue disciplinary action against her.
Vandenhouten has been on the Pulaski School Board since April of 2011. She, her teenage son, and nine other Pulaski students were cited.
The district's acting administrator said at the time that some students who were not ticketed admitted being at the party.
School athletes and club members who attended were punished by their respective organizations.

Funnyman Vince Vaughn and wife Kyla Weber will welcome another bundle of joy this summer.
Appearing on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the actor revealed for the first time he and Weber are adding to their family.
Actor Vince Vaughn hosted "Saturday Night Live" for second time – his first time was in 1998 – and showed what a consummate comedian he really is.
Here are the highlights:
The opening monologue:
The annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball honors remarkable leaders in film, TV and music. This year marks the event's 10th anniversary, and honorees will include activist and actress Olivia Wilde, Founder and Head of Stuber Pictures, Scott Stuber, and WME Board Member Richard Weitz.
Additional celebrities in attendance are: Rebecca Gayheart, Eric Dane, Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman and Jon Favreau.
Funnyman Vince Vaughn and wife Kyla Weber welcomed their first child on Saturday, a healthy baby girl.
Locklyn Kyla Vaughn was born in Vaughn's hometown of Chicago, weighing 7 lbs. "Both of them couldn't be happier to welcome their sweet little girl into their family!" a friend of the couple told People.com.
Vince Vaughn and Kevin James star in the comedy "The Dilemma," which centers on a guy (Vaughn) who sees the wife of his best friend (James) cheating. What to do? Directed by Ron Howard, the film also stars Winona Ryder, Jennifer Connelly and Channing Tatum.
"The Dilemma" opens in Jan. 14, 2011.
Vince Vaughn finally had a ceremony of his own!
Vaughn, 39, said "I do" to girlfriend Kyla Weber in a small, private ceremony outside of Chicago, his rep confirms to People magazine. The ceremony was held at the historic Armour House in front of an intimate group of family and friends.
The actor popped the question to the real estate agent, 31, on Valentine's Day. This is the first marriage for both Vaughn and Weber.
He's played a pop on the big screen, but now Vince Vaughn says he's ready to be a father in real life.
"It's the first time that I really want to have kids," Vaughn dished to People magazine.
"I've been very fortunate in my career, and my life has been about that for so long that you get bored of it. You're ready for your life to be about other people and other things," he said.
The 39-year-old actor is engaged to real estate agent Kyla Weber. Vaughn's "Four Christmases" co-star and pal Peter Billingsley gave his stamp of approval, telling the mag, "I'm very happy for Vince. He's marrying an amazing girl."

In the spring of 2011, actor Ashton Kutcher had a chance to meet Apple's Steve Jobs. But the meeting never took place because Kutcher was working, and on Oct. 5, Jobs died at the age of 56, setting off memorials around the world.
"I think things work out the way they do for a reason," says Kutcher, who plays the high tech icon in the new film Jobs, in theaters now. "He may well have been one of the great innovators of my lifetime. But I don't know what I could have gotten from that meeting."
For one thing, Kutcher says he might have gotten an impression of Jobs that was only temporarily valid, something that would have affected his portrayal of him in the wrong way.
"There might have been one thing that he only did on that day, but I would have just married myself to it," he adds. "So maybe — just maybe — it was lucky that I didn't meet him."
Kutcher is talking Jobs for an invited audience of high tech executives and journalists in San Francisco. Sitting in a conference room at the Ritz Carlton with the movie's director, Joshua Michael Stern, the 35-year-old actor seems far removed from the TV comedies for which he is best known: Walden Schmidt in CBS's Two and a Half Men and Michael Kelso on Fox's That '70s Show.
Perhaps because of the goofy persona he has projected on television, the notion of the actor morphing into Jobs on screen was initially met with a significant amount of skepticism. But the fact remains that Kutcher has long been a player in the tech world with a passion for social media and a role as venture capital investor in startups.
"I have had the good fortune of being consistently underestimated," says Kutcher with a sigh. "I think there is value in that."
Work on the film actually began well before Jobs' death. First-time script writer Matt Whiteley began the screenplay around the time Jobs took medical leave from Apple to battle a rare form of pancreatic cancer. The process accelerated after Jobs died.
Kutcher says that part of the shoot was not easy because he was still struggling with the part.
"To this day, I don't know if I fully understand Steve Jobs. I don't know if anyone ever fully did," he says. "You can only really seek an approximation of who he was. I was working really hard to become that guy."
What he came to understand was that Jobs was most misunderstood by people who didn't know him and didn't get how passionate he was about what he was creating.
"He cared so much that sometimes he ignored the feelings of the people who were right around him. … Every moment was a moment for Steve to further the agenda, to create (an) amazing product for his company that people loved, cared about and was useful to them. To me, that was the backbone."
In one scene, a barefoot and hygienically challenged Jobs works at Nolan Bushnell's Atari. At one point, a manager turns to Jobs and says, "You're good, damn good, but you're an a--hole."
"There are people who don't give a damn so they're an a--hole. … And then there are (others) who just can't help being an a–hole because they're really gifted," Kutcher says. "And that is what Steve was. He was that way when he could get away with it."

A new app from from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene aims to provide New York City teens with information about clinics and sexual health services at the click of a button — or tap of a finger.
The app is getting surprisingly little promotion, given the backlash from the mayor's teen pregnancy ads, when many advocates and city officials accused the administration of wasting funds and energy on a shame campaign that did not focus enough or at all on providing access to information or resources.
"The app is a great step forward and I commend the administration," said Councilwoman Anabel Palma, one of the city officials who took issue with the ad campaign. "But I still am extremely disappointed about the ads and upset the administration won't change the messaging of stereotyping or stigmatizing current teen parents and past teen parents as well."
Palma praised the app as a better proactive, preventative measure, insisting that "scare tactics don't get teens to correct their behavior, education does."
The app seizes on the fact that in New York state, teens are not required to get parental consent before receiving sexual health resources, information, or treatment.
The app has three components: a clinic search engine; information about various forms of birth control, including emergency contraception, and a reminder that both a condom and birth control must be used to be effective; as well as a section of video testimonials from teens.
The teens in the videos describe the experience of clinic visits, as well as other experiences teens may have trouble discussing with adults, including sexual attraction and unplanned pregnancies.
Some clinics are marked with a gold star, indicating they offer some services free of charge. All of the clinics included in the app's directory have been screened by teen "mystery shoppers," who visited the clinics in advance to make sure they're adolescent-friendly.
The app also assures users that all of the clinics offer confidential sexual health services, so information will not be shared with parents or significant others. No information is logged by the app when downloading or using it, either.
The app, called Teens in NYC Protection +, is available via iTunes.
More information on teen health resources and services is accessible on nyc.gov by searching "NYC teen."

Requesting H-1B sponsorship
H-4 Dependent Information
Length of Stay
Travel Abroad
Address Updates
Please contact the department administrator of your employing department for information about how to request H-1B sponsorship from JHU. OIS only accepts requests from the employing department for H-1B sponsorship. Information for the H-1B foreign national is available at: http://ois.johnshopkins.edu/Immigration_and_%20Visas/H1B/
An H-1B worker may bring their spouse or unmarried children under the age of 21 to the United States as H-4 dependents. H-4 dependents are not authorized to work in the U.S. They may study full-time or part-time.
For those whose family members are currently outside the U.S., there is no requirement to file an application with U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (CIS) prior to a visa interview, or to obtain documentation from OIS. Consult the website of the U.S. embassy or consulate where your dependent(s) will apply for their H-4 visa(s) for information on visa appointments and any documents that they require. Your dependents should bring the following with them to their visa appointment:
- Copy of your passport identification and expiration page(s);
- Copy of your U.S. visa;
- Copy of your I-94;
- Copy of your I-797 H-1B approval notice;
- Your recent paycheck stubs;
- Evidence of their relationship to you (i.e., marriage certificate, birth certificate).
For those whose family members are currently in the U.S. in another immigration status and wish to change to H-4, please schedule an appointment to obtain advice on how to change status.
Top of page
H-1B workers are authorized to stay in the U.S. and work for their petitioning employer (i.e., JHU) until the expiration date of their I-94, provided they are maintaining their H-1B status. In most cases, the expiration of the H-1B status will correspond with the expiration of the H-1B petition that the university filed.
At times, an immigration officer at the port of entry may give an H-1B worker an extra ten days beyond the expiration of the H-1B petition when readmitting them from a trip abroad. This is solely at the discretion of the officer and is not a grace period that is authorized by regulation for all H-1B workers.
An immigration officer may also readmit an H-1B worker for less time than their H-1B petition is valid for, due to the expiration date of the passport. It is essential for you to be conscious of how long you are admitted for when you reenter from a trip abroad. If this occurs, it is imperative that you come to OIS to provide this information and receive advice. An H-1B worker is authorized to remain in the U.S. and work until the expiration of their I-94 or H-1B petition, whichever is earliest. Failure to extend your status by the expiration date can have very serious consequences for H-1B workers.
Top of page
H-1B workers who are traveling outside of the U.S. should carry the following documents with them:
- A valid passport;
- A valid H-1B visa stamp in your passport (see exceptions below);
- Your original lower portion of the I-797 approval notice and copy of the upper portion (you were provided with this when your H-1B petition was approved);
- A copy of the entire H-1B petition that OIS filed with U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services. You should have received a copy of this with your H-1B approval;
- Your most recent paycheck stubs.
If you are subject to Special Registration (NSEERS), then please follow the departure procedures outlined in the NSEERS walk-away materials. Individuals subject to this will have an FINS number indicated on their I-94 from their last entry to the U.S.
H-1B visa applications
For those who changed their status to H-1B inside the U.S., or whose previously issued H-1B visa is now expired, you will require a valid H-1B visa in your passport in order to reenter the U.S. (see exceptions below). In addition to carrying the documents listed above, you should consult the website of the U.S. embassy or consulate where you will be applying for the visa for any additional information or documents they require.
- Canadian citizens are exempt from visa requirements.
- H-1B workers who meet all the following conditions do not require a valid visa to reenter the U.S:
- You are traveling exclusively to Canada or Mexico;
- You are traveling for less than 30 days;
- You are in possession of a valid passport;
- You do not apply for an H-1B visa while you are outside the U.S.;
- You are in valid H-1B status, and do not relinquish your I-94 when departing the U.S.; and
- You are not a national and/or citizen of a country designated by the U.S. Department of State as a state sponsor of terrorism. See http://www.state.gov/s/ct/c14151.htm for current list
This provision is called automatic revalidation of visa. It applies both to those who have expired H-1B visas in their passports, and those who have valid or expired U.S. visas in another classification in their passport and changed their status to H-1B inside the U.S.
Top of page
All non-U.S. citizens are required to report any changes in their residential address to the Department of Homeland Security within 10 days of the change. H-1B workers can report their address change by using Form AR-11. Those who are subject to Special Registration (NSEERS) should use Form AR-11SR. Also, please contact your department administrator to update your address in the payroll system.

From the mists of Krynn's earliest history came the Barbarians. A young brother and sister escape a pack of predators and strike out on their own, their lives taking parallel courses linked to the destiny of different tribes. But dark powers watch the rise of civilization with cold calculation and deadly intent.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
The village of Yala-tene is flourishing. Twelve years of peace and plenty have allowed the little settlement to grow into a thriving town. But its peace is threatened - from within by an ambitious priest of the dragon cult, and from without by a savage horde of warriors, bent on conquest. Against this array of evil, Chief Amero and the bronze dragon Duranix strive to hold the fragile threads of civilization together.
On the battle plains of Ansalon, all barbarians must band together. Raiders, nomads, and villagers. Ogres and elves. Dragons of good and evil. These are the forces that have joined battle to decide the fate of the first primitive civilization of Krynn. At the center of this whirlwind, the long-separated siblings Amero and Nianki are reunited. But foes long gone and presumed dead also join together, seeking vengeance and destruction once and for all.

Repeat Event: Every Day
Sexual Congress Molly Crabapple Launches Large Scale Animal Orgy in the Museum of Sex(New York, NY)- With only a monthly left before Election '08, the political fires are burning, the debates have begun, and controversy is widespread around the country. On October 15th, Molly Crabapple joins the fray as the Museum of Sex Unveils Crabapple's newest large-scale painting, "Politics."In the American tradition of political cartooning, "Politics" depicts politicians as debauched animals, driven by overwhelming urges. Building on the famous elephant and donkey symbols of the Republican and Democratic parties popularized by cartoonist Thomas Nast in Harper's Weekly in 1874, Crabapple transforms our standard political iconography into a subversive circus. Crabapple flexes her first amendment rights as she satirizes the powerful, painting those political animals engaging each other in a variety of compromising positions.There is more to Politics than initially meets the eye. "My work is like Where's Waldo gone bad" explains Crabapple. "Swarms of detail let you hide all sorts of wicked and revealing things. Kind of like earmarks in a Senate Bill." Viewers are encouraged to examine the painting closely to explore both the blatant displays and coded nuances in the piece.ABOUT THE EVENTIn line with its mission to support an open discourse and dialogue, the museum of sex encourages patrons to join in the debate on Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 from 8:00pm to 10:30pm as the Museum hosts a politically charged, after hours event. Not only will Crabapple's "Politics" be revealed, but the Museum's film gallery will be turned live to the 2nd Official 2008 Presidential debate, allowing patrons to watch the debate in a public space and more fully explore the intersection of sex and politics. It will be a night of both celebration and conversation. Especially with gender playing such a large theme at this year's election, there are many poignant issues to be discussed.Proclaimed by the New York Times as "a downtown phenomenon", Molly Crabapple is an award winning, internationally acclaimed artist and the founder of the increasingly popular Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, the world's largest chain of alternative life drawing classes."Politics" by Molly Crabapple will be on view at the Museum of Sex from October 15, 2008 through November 5th.The Debate Night event will be held at the Museum on Wednesday, October 15th, from 8:00pm to 10:30 am. The event is free of charge and open to the general public.The Museum of Sex is located on 233 5th Avnenue in New York City.CONTACT: The Museum of Sex 212.689.6337 ext 113 firstname.lastname@example.com

PUMA's partner team Ducati travels to Assen in The Netherlands for this weekend's seventh round (of 18 in the 2011 MotoGP Championship) with renewed confidence, having developed a whole raft of upgrades for the Ducati Desmosedici. The bike is known as the GP11.1 in recognition of its revised chassis.

Impressive FootballJune 14, 2010
Without impressing too much, Holland did cap the win against Denmark. What was expected to be a hyper offensive football fest with players like Sneijder, van der Vaart, van Persie, Babel, Jan Huntelaar and Robben (last three didn't even play) - the Oranje didn't get the game flowing as they wanted and we expected. But they did manage to come out as winners, and doing that in a World Cup without impressing is impressive enough.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Complex aromas of black cherry and blackberry are balanced with subtle anise and violet nuances. The layered flavors of ripe dark berries and dried flowers transition into hints of black tea and minerals, followed by a lingering silky finish.
"Hartford Court's 2010 Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards brings together fruit from Far Coast and Seascape, a blend that works very nicely. Far Coast gives the body and structure, while Sea Scape contributes aromatic delineation and energy. There is an element of lift and sheer nuance in the Land's Edge that is wonderful. Here, too, I find superb precision in the flavors. "

"Deep ruby. Pungent aromas of black fruits, licorice, violet and fresh herbs, with slow-building spiciness. Then dense and lush on the palate, showing a seductive sweetness to the flavors of dark berry and cherry preserves, minerals and black tea. This palate-staining, vivacious pinot finishes with lingering spice and smoke notes."

A man was shot by a Toledo police officer late Friday night, according to the Toledo Police Department.
It happened around 11:45 p.m., at a home on the 1900 block of Airline Avenue.
Police say a woman called 911 saying her husband had a gun and she needed help from police. The call was then disconnected.
Officers Kevin Toney and Kellie Kenney were dispatched to the home.
Police say the husband, 53-year-old Steven Hall, was spotted by police and told to put down his firearm.
According to officers, Hall went further into his home where officers could not see him, reappearing with the firearm in hand.
Officer Toney fired twice from the front porch, shooting Hall once in the leg. Hall was arrested and taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Hall is facing Felonious Assault on a Peace Officer, in addition to other charges. He is currently being treated in the hospital.

Financial planning for child care
Expectant parents should prepare a plan for how they'll meet the high expenses of caring for their infant, starting with these 3 steps.
Child care is one of biggest costs of being a parent today. Day care can run from $4,600 a year in Mississippi to nearly $15,000 a year in Massachusetts.
Most expectant parents, however, don't have a clear plan for child care. Unlike a 529 plan, where money is set aside for future college costs, a solid child care plan is largely unheard-of.
Although no tax-advantaged plan has been designed yet to encourage saving for future day care or nanny costs, would-be parents should be able to create a good child care plan on their own in three steps:
Step 1: Decide early what type of care the child will receive
Joseph Clark, a managing partner at the Financial Enhancement Group, believes it's important to answer these questions well in advance: Will the child be put in a day care center or a family child care home? Will the child need a nanny?
"Would-be parents should figure out their monthly child care costs and put that in a savings account or reduce their spending by that amount to see if they can absorb the financial pressure," says Clark.
A recent report from Child Care Aware of America (.pdf file) breaks down the costs of full-time child care in every state. It includes average fees for both child care centers and family child care homes.
In New York, for example, the average cost for infant care in a day care center is about $14,000 a year, or $1,167 per month. In this case, Clark says, would-be parents should set aside an amount to cover the first six months of care, or around $7,000.
If a couple choose to have their child cared for by a nanny, they should be prepared to shell out an average of $831 a week in New York City, according to data from the 2012 International Nanny Association Salary and Benefits Survey (.pdf file).
Whether it's day care or nanny care, "work up to six months of that need in a cash-type savings vehicle," says Clark. "It will require discipline now, but it will eliminate some stressful nights later on."
Step 2: Calculate out-of-work income loss
After a child is born, most couples have a significant loss of income as one parent stays home to take care of the child for the first three to six months. Expectant parents should take this into consideration and save for it before the child is born.
The most straightforward way to figure out how much needs to be saved for the unpaid time away is to determine the net pay the parent will forgo by staying home, says Michael Garry, a managing member of Yardley Wealth Management.
Assume that the parent who will stay home with the baby makes about $35,000 a year, or about $1,350 every two weeks. After taxes and deductions, the net pay comes out to about $1,100. If the parent is going to stay home for six months, the family needs to replace $14,300 ($1,100 times 13 biweekly paychecks); if the parent wants to stay home for three months, the couple should save $7,150 ($1,100 times 6.5 biweekly paychecks).
The parent who plans to stay home with the newborn should check his or her employer's policies for time off, adds Jessica Maldonado, the chief compliance officer for Allos Investment Advisors. Be sure to read into the specifics. How many days are paid? Can Family and Medical Leave Act time be used? What about sick days, personal days and vacation days?
"You should also take into consideration the kind of company you work for and how invaluable your position is," Maldonado says. "If you're the VP at a small company, wearing many hats and with several direct reports, it might be more important for you to return quickly." Some employers are willing to compromise some flexibility in work hours to get a new parent back to work sooner.

This approach is not possible for teens or single woman that get pregnant. Decent daycare is another rent payment!
What teenager or single mom can afford $800 + daycare, $1000 + rent, utilities, food, car payment, car insurance, GAS, cell phone, clothes etc.???
We need more programs for assistance in daycare for single moms that make $40,000 and less.
what a dumb article ... sorry .. not everyone is making crazy cash ... I made 10 an hour when I was expecting a child ... how the heck can you save on that? byt the time you pay daycare you make no money anways... this comes from someone who obviously makes great money and they are thinking of their own situation. .. well wake up not everyone is in your situation 50% of Americans only make 25k a YEAR ...

UPDATED PRESS RELEASE: Thursday morning at 4:02am, Spokane Police officers responded to "shots fired" at the Days Inn, 120 W. 3rd Ave. When officers arrived, they found 33-year-old Paul A. Haney, from Yakima, was dead from gunshot wounds in the parking lot.
Major Crimes Detectives are continuing their investigation into Haney's murder. Throughout the day yesterday, detectives processed the crime scene and interviewed witnesses. Jimmy J. Blackburn (8/24/83) was arrested on an unrelated Dept. of Corrections warrant. Blackburn had been staying in one of the rooms involved in the homicide.
Detectives executed search warrants of three Days Inn Hotel rooms, and found additional weapons and methamphetamine. A handgun was located near Haney's body and another handgun was located in another part of the lot.
A red moped was seized as possible evidence; detectives have not determined if it is connected to the shooting at 33/Thor the day before. The moped seized had been reported stolen on Sept. 12, 2012, prior to both the drive by shooting and the homicide.
Two people were arrested in Yakima, Washington yesterday on unrelated Dept. of Corrections warrants. Detectives traveled to Yakima and interviewed the two about their possible involvement in the homicide. Detectives also executed a search warrant of a vehicle the two traveled in.
Police are searching for a person of interest in the homicide, Kevin Heaton (2/10/77). He has an extensive local criminal history and should be considered armed and dangerous. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts, they are asked to call Crimestoppers.
SPOKANE, Wash. - One man is dead after a shooting in downtown Spokane. It happened at around 4:00 a.m. Thursday in the parking lot of the Days Inn, that's near the intersection of 3rd and McClellan.
Officials on scene tell us the victim is a male and did die of a gunshot wound. Guests at the Days Inn heard at least 6 to 7 shots fired and called police.
A handgun was found in the parking lot just feet from the body.
The Major Crimes Unit is investigating but has not identified the victim at this time. They are looking at surveillance video.

By AMY LANGEMyFox Detroit ReporterCOMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (MyFox Detroit) -- An estimated 6,000 people were at a farm in Commerce Township Friday to show their support for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.They took the stage to cheers and applause. Congressman Ryan introduced Governor Romney and his wife, Ann.Reminiscing about their time in Michigan, Romney said it brought a tear to his eye. Ann Romney actually chocked up."It's amazing that people in Michigan have not forgotten the promise of America," she said.However, it was the native son's step into the birther debate that's plagued President Obama that has everybody talking."I love being home in this place where Ann and I were raised, were both of us were born. Ann was born at Henry Ford Hospital. I was born at Harper Hospital. No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."It's a comment Democrats pounced on."Very disappointed that Mitt Romney's now become a birther. Another step to the extreme right wing of the party," said Mark Brewer, chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party. "That should be well beneath any presidential candidate."Romney avoided any talk of the rape controversy that found him calling on Republican Congressman Todd Akin to drop out of the Missouri race for Senate earlier in the week. Some wondered if the controversy would hurt their chances with women voters."I think that our team is still on track and they do support women," said Romney supporter Dianne Watson.However, Democrats say the governor should have addressed the controversy and denounced his colleague's views."Women should listen to that and understand that one of their own believes that, promotes it, being incorporated into their platform. Women should head for the hills," said state Rep. Ellen Cogen Lipton.Instead, it appeared they ran for the farm. A large number of women were at the Romney-Ryan rally where, as protesters gathered outside, the Republican team asked for Michigan's vote."If Michigan does that, he and I will be the next president and vice president of the United States, and America will stay strong and prosperous and free and the hope of the earth," Romney told the crowd.

Great fit should be great for walking and moving around in early season turkey hunting
I've been wearing these boots for 2 weeks straight with no problems. No leaks and very comfortable. I should've bought two pair.
didn't fit sending back and getting a different pair
comfortable and totally waterproof. great traction
I was not at all happy with my Irish Setter boots because when I received them and tried them on, I found out that they run at least 1 whole size too small. So I had to spend $15 to ship them back, and get charged another $5 to have the new pair sent back to me. I guess there is inherent risk when buying shoes online, but I think the manufacturer or distributer should have a note in the description to help their customers avoid spending an extra $20.
I returned these because just aren't very comfortable.

The Detroit Red Wings will try to take a 2-0 advantage in the Stanley Cup finals when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight at Joe Louis Arena.
Detroit drew first blood in the best-of-seven series on Saturday, as the Red Wings pounded out a 4-0 decision on their home ice in Game 1.
The Red Wings are 8-1 at home this postseason after notching a league-best 29-9-3 mark in the Motor City during the regular season.
Pittsburgh is 4-3 as the visiting team in the playoffs and was 21-17-3 during the regular season.
After tonight's test, the series will shift to Pittsburgh for Games 3 and 4. The Penguins are scheduled to host the third meeting Wednesday night at Mellon Arena.
Mikael Samuelsson scored a pair of unassisted goals in Saturday's decision to help stake Detroit to a one-game lead.
Chris Osgood turned aside all 19 shots he saw for the Red Wings, who are seeking their fourth Stanley Cup in the past 11 seasons. It was Osgood's second shutout of these playoffs and his 12th career postseason blanking.
Osgood has been stellar throughout the playoffs, going 11-2 with a 1.48 goals against average and .935 save percentage. The 35-year-old is trying to win his second Stanley Cup title as Detroit's No. 1 goaltender. Osgood also led the Red Wings to the second of two straight championships in 1998.
Marc-Andre Fleury was charged with all four goals on 36 shots for the Penguins, who are in the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1992.
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who both made their first Stanley Cup appearance, finished the game with a combined four shots and a minus-two rating.
Penguins head coach Michel Therrien is expected to make some line changes for Game 2 and will also re-insert veteran forward Gary Roberts into the lineup. The 42-year-old Roberts was a healthy scratch in Game 1, but will be called upon to bring some added physical play to the Pittsburgh side tonight. Roberts has two goals and an assist in six playoff games this year.
Detroit will also be close to getting the man known as "Mule" back on the ice. Johan Franzen has been out with concussion-like symptoms since Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against Dallas. Despite missing the last six games, Franzen is tied with his teammate Henrik Zetterberg for the most goals in this year's playoffs with 12 markers.
Franzen has been practicing and is no longer suffering from the chronic headaches that have kept him out of the lineup.
The Red Wings came into this series as the favorites, having won the Presidents' Trophy as the team with the best record in the NHL during the regular season. Pittsburgh was the Atlantic Division champion and the second- seeded team in the Eastern Conference.
Both teams took impressive paths to the Cup finals this year, as the Penguins rolled through the Eastern Conference playoffs with a 12-2 record and Detroit claimed the West championship by winning 12 of 16 games. The Red Wings even set a franchise record at one point with nine consecutive victories this postseason.
Detroit defeated Nashville in six games during the opening round, swept Colorado in the following series, and beat Dallas in six tests of the conference finals.
The Penguins swept Ottawa in the first round and defeated the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers in five games during the conference semifinals and finals, respectively.
Because of the NHL's unbalanced schedule, Pittsburgh and Detroit have met sparingly during the regular season in recent years and the clubs have never faced off in the playoffs. The teams didn't play in 2007-08, but Detroit has won the last two regular-season meetings and five of six overall.
When the home team wins game 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup Final they have a 31-1 series record.
Pittsburgh lost game one in 1991, but still went on to win the Stanley Cup.
The last time Fleury lost back-to-back games was November 17 & 21, a span of 32 decisions.

When people refuse to buy something, or buy product B instead of product A for what they believe to be political purposes, they might affect the bottom line of a company. They might even provoke that company to make changes to their products or practices. That's great! But what they're also doing, and what is so dangerous about telling young people that "voting with your dollars" is the most important thing they can do, is leaving the bulk of the power in the hands of those companies. This limits our own power—our power to create and to innovate and to call for new opportunities and experiences—to the power to consume (or not consume). It takes all of our experiences and lives and wants and needs and desires and possibilities and puts them into a dollar, ultimately conceding that yes, the best we can do is give other people our money and hope for the best.
Telling people to "vote with their pocketbooks" reinforces the idea that money and power are irrevocably intertwined. We shouldn't look to those among us who have the most disposable income or the biggest advertising budget or the largest market research team to be setting the tone of our cultural landscape. We should be setting that tone ourselves. Not all of us have money, but all of us have voices, and it would do us well to encourage young people to develop and strengthen their voices rather than wait until they have enough money to be counted (a day that, for many, will never come).
Why I Will Never Tell Anyone to "Vote With Your Dollars" (via sparkamovement)
Another reason why people need to stop acting like product (Red) or individual consumer choices can make substantive changes to greater structures of global power. It doesn't make sense. They. Just. Want. Your. Money.

The Magick Toolbox: The Ultimate Compendium for Choosing & Using Ritual Impliments and Magical Tools
My second published book is a reference guide to locating, making, and using magickal tools. From athames to wands, the book is an encyclopedic guide for Pagans, Wiccans, Heathens, and other Earth-based beliefs that encorporate ritual magick. One of the more interesting aspects of this book is the repeated disclaimer that ultimately, it is the practitioner herself who is the only required magickal tool. Every tool has an important use and purpose, but magick can always be worked with no external tools at all.
After selling altar tools for some years, I wanted to offer a guide for consumers. This was not only to guide readers in the use of tools but also to point out how easy it is to find or create tools for far less money, and with far greater impact, than tools purchased from vendors like me. For years before writing this book I had also been selling altar sets and very popular portable altar sets. I still giggle when I think back to those first sets that I sold. I truly believed I was being an inovator and had created the first such kits in history. As I did more research I quickly learned that not only was not an original idea and in fact there were such sets from archeological digs that predated written history. So much for innovation! I did include a section in this book on creating protable kits.
Researching, writing, and lecturing about this book taught me many things. For one, people who use magickal tools are fiercly loyal to their methods of use. Introducing a new way to use an old tool is tricky at best in some settings. I also learned that people who use tools regularly have a blast assembling a portable set. Finally, I learned that omission of a favored tool or technique draws sharp condemnation from a few practitioners! The next time you are at Amazon.com check out the reviews of this book. There is one seriously negative review because the book did not include the esoteric topic of magickal mirrors.
I don't foresee any sequels to this book, as it is truly a stand-alone reference work. It was a lot of fun and I continue to extend my thanks to my good friend Leo Mabry for handling the photography for this book. The publisher erroneously gave me credit for Leo's photos and gave him credit only for the two photos that I took. Uncool, but there it is. Thanks Leo!

Philippe Petit & Friends
(Home Normal)
"Cordophony," the latest opus from French composer Philippe Petit has an incredible list of contributors. Aidan Baker, Nils Frahm, & Raphaelle Rinaudo are just a few of the names in the list. With so many different voices contributing to the entirety of "Cordophony," it's no surprise that these are dense pieces of wonderfully dissonant music. Tracks like opener, "Gli occhi freddi della vendetta," and "Many-minds in Many-worlds" have a surreal energy to them. They move along at a quick pace, descending further and further into darkness. It is all quite odd in the best way and assembled with great skill. Other pieces feel mournful and haunted. There's a ton of different styles and emotions at play here, but it all feels cohesive. "Cordophony" is like some long-lost relic of another time period, dusted off and released into a brand new world. - Brad Rose, Experimedia

The Milwaukee Bucks are now 2-and-26 against the N-B-A's Western Conference, after losing at Sacramento 124-to-107 last evening. O-J Mayo led the Bucks with 21 points off the bench. He missed the last six games after he fell out of coach Larry Drew's rotation. But Drew gave Mayo another chance after rookie Nate Wolters broke his left hand at Golden State last Thursday and went out for the season. The Kings were on fire early, leading 39-to-16 after the first quarter. The Bucks never had a chance after that -- but they did out-score Sacramento 37-to-20 in the final period to make the game look closer than it was. DeMarcus Cousins had his seventh straight double-double for the Kings with 32 points and 12 rebounds. Isaiah Thomas had 30 points with eight assists, helping Sacramento win two of its last three. Ersan Ilyasova was the only Milwaukee starter in double figures with 14. The Bucks are 0-and-3 on their Western road trip and 13-and-57 overall. They'll close out their current trip tonight against the Clippers in Los Angeles.

Dialysis is an artificial process for removing waste products and excess fluids from the body, a process that is needed when the kidneys are not functioning properly.
There are a number of reasons why people may need dialysis, but the inability of the kidneys to adequately filter waste products from the blood (kidney failure) is the most common. For kidney failure, many doctors recommend dialysis when urine output is low and certain conditions develop. For acute kidney failure, doctors continue dialysis until the person's blood test results indicate that adequate kidney function has been restored. For people with chronic kidney failure, dialysis may be used as long-term therapy or as a temporary measure until a kidney can be transplanted. Short-term or urgent dialysis can also be used to remove fluids, certain drugs, or poisons from the body.
Making the decision to begin long-term dialysis is not easy because it entails a major change in lifestyle, including a dependency on machines to maintain life. However, for most people, a successful dialysis program results in an acceptable quality of life. Most people undergoing dialysis are able to eat a tolerable diet, have normal blood pressure, and avoid progression of nerve damage, severe anemia, and other severe complications.
Dialysis usually requires the effort of a team of people. A doctor completes a dialysis prescription, manages complications, and provides the medical care. A nurse monitors the person's general well-being, educates the person about dialysis and what needs to be done to maintain the best possible health, oversees the dialysis procedure, and supervises the dialysis technicians. A social worker assesses mental health, arranges transportation, arranges for dialysis in other locations if the person is traveling, and arranges home assistance when needed. A dietitian recommends an appropriate diet and monitors the person's response to dietary changes. When dialysis is intended to be used temporarily until a kidney can be transplanted, the transplant surgeon is also part of the dialysis team. For hemodialysis (in which blood is removed from the body and filtered by an artificial kidney machine), a technician assists in getting the procedure started and monitors the dialysis machine during the dialysis. For hemodialysis, doctors such as a vascular surgeon and often an interventional radiologist prepare the blood vessels so that blood can be easily withdrawn from the body and cycled through the dialysis machine.
Doctors decide to place a person on dialysis when kidney failure is causing certain conditions:
There are two types of dialysis:
In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body and pumped by a machine outside the body into a dialyzer (artificial kidney). The dialyzer filters metabolic waste products from the blood and then returns the purified blood to the person. The total amount of fluid returned can be adjusted.
Hemodialysis requires repeated access to the bloodstream. Doctors can achieve temporary access by inserting a large intravenous catheter in a big vein, usually one near the neck. However, an artificial connection between an artery and a vein (an arteriovenous fistula) is usually surgically created to make long-term access easier. In this procedure, typically the radial artery in the forearm is joined with the cephalic vein in the forearm. As a result, the cephalic vein subsequently enlarges and blood flow through the vein increases, making the vein suitable for repeated puncture with a needle. Fistulas are created by vascular surgeons. When a fistula cannot be created, an artery and a vein may be surgically connected to each other using a synthetic connector (graft). Grafts are often placed in the person's arm. In hemodialysis, a technician places needles into the person's fistula or graft.
Heparin, a drug that prevents clotting, is given during hemodialysis to prevent blood from clotting in the dialyzer. Inside the dialyzer, a porous artificial membrane separates the blood from a fluid (the dialysate). Fluid, waste products, and electrolytes in the blood filter through the membrane into the dialysate. Blood cells and large proteins are unable to filter through the small pores of the membrane and so remain in the blood. The dialyzed (purified) blood is then returned to the person's body.
Dialyzers have different sizes and degrees of efficiency. Dialysis treatment time is usually about 3 to 4 hours. Most people who have chronic kidney failure need hemodialysis 3 times a week.
The most common complication of hemodialysis is low blood pressure during or shortly after dialysis. Blood pressure usually increases during the period between treatments. People, particularly when starting hemodialysis, may have muscle cramps, itching, nausea and vomiting, headache, and pain the chest and back. Less often, they can have confusion, restlessness, blurred vision, and/or seizures.
Complications can also involve the graft or fistula, such as infection, blood clots, bleeding, and bulging (aneurysm formation). People should promptly notify their doctors if any of the following occur:
Usual Cause
Bacteria or fever-causing substances (pyrogens) in the bloodstream
Overheated dialysate
Life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
Allergy to a substance in the dialyzer or the tubing that carries blood or to drugs given during dialysis
Low blood pressure
Removal of too much fluid
Abnormal heart rhythms
Abnormal levels of potassium and other substances in the blood
Air embolus
Air entering the tubing that carries blood
Bleeding in the intestine, brain, eyes, or abdomen
Use of too much heparin to prevent clotting in the dialyzer
Bacteria entering the bloodstream through a dialysis catheter inserted into the abdomen or through a needle inserted into veins for hemodialysis access
In peritoneal dialysis, the peritoneum—a membrane that lines the abdomen and covers the abdominal organs—acts as a filter. This membrane has a large surface area and a rich network of blood vessels. Substances from the blood can easily pass through the peritoneum into the abdominal cavity. A fluid (dialysate) is infused through a catheter inserted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal space within the abdomen. The dialysate must be left in the abdomen for a sufficient time to allow waste products from the bloodstream to pass slowly into it. Then the dialysate is drained out, discarded, and replaced with fresh dialysate.
A soft silicone rubber or porous polyurethane catheter allows the dialysate to flow smoothly and is unlikely to cause damage. A catheter can be put in place temporarily at the person's bedside, or it may be surgically put in place permanently. One type of permanent catheter eventually forms a seal with the skin and can be capped when not in use.
Various techniques and methods can be used for peritoneal dialysis.
Manual intermittent peritoneal dialysis is the simplest technique. No machine is used. In manual intermittent peritoneal dialysis, bags containing dialysate are warmed to body temperature and infused into the peritoneal (abdominal) cavity, which takes about 10 minutes. The dialysate is allowed to remain there (dwell time) for 60 to 90 minutes and then is drained out in about 10 to 20 minutes. This process is then repeated. The entire treatment can take 12 to 24 hours. In between periods of dialysis, no dialysate is in the abdomen.
Automated cycler intermittent peritoneal dialysis is another technique. This technique uses a machine (cycler) to do automated exchanges of dialysate. Use of an automated cycler can reduce the need for nursing attention.
In continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, no machine is used. Typically, the dialysate is drained and replenished 4 or 5 times a day. Generally 3 of these dialysate exchanges are done during the day, with dwell times of 4 hours or longer. An exchange is done at night with a long dwell time of 8 to 12 hours during sleep. This technique differs from intermittent peritoneal dialysis in that with intermittent peritoneal dialysis there are periods of time when there is no dialysate in the abdomen.
Continuous cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis uses an automated cycler to do short exchanges at night during sleep, whereas longer exchanges are done manually—without the cycler—during the day. This technique minimizes the number of exchanges during the day but prevents mobility at night because of cumbersome equipment.
Many factors, including lifestyle, must be considered in determining which type of dialysis is best for a person. People typically undergo hemodialysis at a dialysis center, usually outside of a hospital. Peritoneal dialysis can be done at home, eliminating the need for travel to a hemodialysis center.
Doctors recommend hemodialysis for people with recent abdominal wounds or abdominal surgery or defects in the abdominal wall that make peritoneal dialysis difficult. Peritoneal dialysis is better tolerated in people whose blood pressure fluctuates frequently between periods of high or normal pressure and periods of low blood pressure.
Unintentional perforation of an internal organ during placement of the catheter
Removal of the catheter from the body
Irritation and inflammation of the membrane that lines the abdomen (peritoneum) or the area around the insertion site (when the catheter does not seal to the abdominal wall)
Unsterile techniques during dialysis
Low level of albumin (a protein) in the blood
Loss of protein in fluid removed during dialysis along with inadequate protein in diet
Scarring of the peritoneum*
Inflammation and infection
Electrolytes in the dialysis fluid
Use of certain drugs
A high sugar (glucose) level in the blood
Use of a peritoneal dialysate that has a high concentration of glucose (used to remove water and sodium during dialysis)
Hernias in the abdomen or groin
Increased pressure within the abdomen caused by continued exposure to high fluid levels, which weaken the barriers that normally prevent excessive movement of organs and other structures
Intake of inadequate fiber or use of calcium salts to treat high phosphate levels in the blood, causing the intestine to widen, which possibly interferes with dialysate flow in and out of the abdomen
*The peritoneum acts as a filter in peritoneal dialysis. When the peritoneum is scarred, fluids and waste products can no longer readily pass through it to be removed.
The most common and troublesome complications of peritoneal dialysis are infection of the peritoneal fluid (called peritonitis) and infection of the area where the catheter enters the skin (insertion site). Peritonitis causes constant, sharp, severe generalized abdominal pain. Infection at the insertion site causes redness of the skin and pain at the insertion site. Such infections can be treated with antibiotics and careful wound care.
When the kidneys fail, waste products and excess water can be removed from the blood by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body into a dialyzer (called an artificial kidney), which filters the blood. An artificial connection between an artery and a vein (arteriovenous fistula) is made to facilitate the removal of blood.
In peritoneal dialysis, the peritoneum is used as a filter. The peritoneum is a membrane that lines the abdomen and covers the abdominal organs, creating a space within the abdomen called the peritoneal space or abdominal cavity.
People undergoing dialysis need a special diet. In people undergoing peritoneal dialysis, appetite is generally poor, and protein is lost during dialysis. The diet should be relatively high in protein, roughly 1/2 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight a day. (The American Association of Kidney Patients has a food guide.) Salt, both the usual table salt containing sodium and the salt containing potassium, is restricted.
For people undergoing hemodialysis, daily consumption of sodium and potassium is even more restricted. Foods high in phosphorus also may have to be limited. Daily fluid intake is limited for people who have very little urine output or a persistently low or decreasing sodium concentration in the blood. Daily weighing is important to monitor weight gain. Excessive weight gain between hemodialysis treatments indicates that the person is consuming excessive fluid. Usually, excessive fluid intake is the result of excessive sodium intake, which makes a person thirsty.
Multivitamin supplements are needed to replace the nutrients lost through hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Because people with chronic kidney disease develop anemia, erythropoietin Some Trade Names
or darbepoietin may be given to stimulate the production of red blood cells. Iron may also be needed to help the body produce new red blood cells.
Phosphate binders, most often those such as calcium carbonate Some Trade Names
or calcium acetate, are used to remove excess dietary phosphate.
Normally, the body's bone tissue is continually replaced, helping bones remain strong and dense. The kidneys secrete hormones that help regulate the production of bone tissue. In people with kidney failure, the kidneys are not able to regulate hormone production, so parathyroid hormone levels may increase. The active form of vitamin D Some Trade Names
See Ergocalciferol
(calcitriol Some Trade Names
) or a similar substance is given to control high parathyroid hormone levels because high parathyroid hormone levels can weaken bones by decreasing their density, a bone condition called renal osteodystrophy.
People who are undergoing dialysis often have risk factors for coronary artery disease, including high blood pressure, high levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, and diabetes. People need to take special care to lower their risk of coronary artery disease.
Constipation may occur in people undergoing dialysis, which may hamper peritoneal dialysis. If too much stool fills the intestine, the extra volume can partly block the catheter that drains dialysis fluid. People may need to take laxatives, but they are usually given bulking agents (such as psyllium Some Trade Names
) or sorbitol, not laxatives that contain phosphate or magnesium.
High levels of aluminum in the blood (aluminum toxicity) may occur in people who take phosphate binders that contain aluminum. Another potential source of aluminum is the water used to make the dialysate. Because many phosphate binders are available that do not have aluminum and because aluminum is effectively removed during preparation of the ultra pure water used in dialysate today, aluminum toxicity is now uncommon. Aluminum toxicity can cause weak bones, anemia, and dementia. Deferoxamine Some Trade Names
can be given through the peritoneal catheter or through a vein to help eliminate aluminum from the body.
Calciphylaxis is a rare disorder in which arteries harden, causing a reduction in blood flow to skin of the trunk, buttocks, and legs. It is caused in part by high levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. It causes painful skin bumps and ulcers that often become infected. Severe infection can affect the entire body and be fatal. Treatment aims to relieve complications of calciphylaxis. For example, infection is treated with antibiotics, and pain is treated with analgesics. Drugs may be given to lower levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Wounds are treated with careful skin care.
People undergoing dialysis may experience losses in every aspect of their life. The potential loss of independence can be especially distressing. Coping with disruptions in lifestyle can be difficult. Many people undergoing dialysis become depressed and anxious. Psychologic and social counseling is often helpful to families as well as to those undergoing dialysis. Many dialysis centers provide psychologic and social support. Dealing with a loss of independence is helped when people are encouraged to pursue their previous interests. People undergoing hemodialysis need to arrange for transportation to and from dialysis centers on a regular basis. Dialysis sessions may interfere with work, school, or leisure activities.
More than half of the people on long-term dialysis are 60 years of age or older. Older people often are better able to adapt to long-term dialysis and the loss of independence than are younger people. However, older people undergoing dialysis may become more dependent on their grown children or may not be able to continue living alone. Older people are more likely to experience fatigue from treatments. Often, family roles and responsibilities must be modified to fit the dialysis routine, creating stress and feelings of guilt and inadequacy.
Children whose growth has been stunted may feel isolated and different from their peers. Young adults and adolescents coping with identity, independence, and body image issues may find these issues further complicated by dialysis. Diet is an important issue for children undergoing dialysis because children must receive enough nutrients to support their growth.
