Pineoblastomas are tumours that are best thought of as primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNET) located in the pineal region and thus, they closely resemble (both on imaging and on histology) medulloblastomas, retinoblastomas and supratentorial PNETs. They are the most aggressive and highest grade tumour among pineal parenchymal tumours.
On imaging, they usually present as large lobulated and enhancing tumours (more than 3 cm), hyperattenuating on CT (highly cellular), with heterogeneous signal intensities on MRI, sometimes with evident necrotic and haemorrhage regions. Restricted diffusion is commonly evident and, in almost all cases, obstructive hydrocephalus is observed at the presentation.
On this page:
Pineoblastomas are the most aggressive pineal parenchymal tumour and account for a substantial proportion of such tumours (24-50%) 7. They are typically found in young children, with both sexes being equally affected (in contrast to the male predominance seen in pineal germinomas).
There is a well-established association with hereditary retinoblastomas. Patients with hereditary (bilateral) retinoblastoma no more than 5% develop midline (suprasellar or pineal) neuroblastic tumours 6,10. Such cases are sometimes referred to as trilateral retinoblastoma.
Clinical presentation
Pineoblastomas are typically large and almost always associated with obstructive hydrocephalus, due to compression of the cerebral aqueduct. Compression of the tectal plate may also result in the Parinaud syndrome.
They are highly malignant tumours prone to CSF seeding, which is present in 15% of patients at the time of diagnosis.
The tumour originates from neuroectodermal cells. It is the least differentiated pineal cell tumours, with pineocytomas and pineal parenchymal tumour with intermediate differentiation representing better-differentiated tumours along the same spectrum.
Pineoblastomas are considered WHO grade IV tumours.
The tumours are composed of tightly packed small round blue cells (high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio) which in turn determines their imaging appearances (see below) 7.
Radiographic features
Pineoblastomas tend to be large poorly defined masses, with frequent CSF seeding at presentation. They have a tendency to involve directly adjacent brain structures, which helps distinguish them from other pineal tumours that tend to be better circumscribed.
The solid component tends to be slightly hyperdense compared to the adjacent brain due to high cellularity. This is a characteristic shared by other small round blue cell tumours such as PNET and medulloblastoma.
Classically, they are described as having peripherally dispersed or "exploded" calcification (mnemonic: blasted calcification), similar to pineocytomas. In contrast, pineal germinomas tend to engulf pineal calcification.
Pineoblastomas tend to appear as sizable (>4 cm) irregular masses often with evidence of invasion into adjacent brain 6,9. Typical signal characteristics include 9:
- T1: isointense to hypointense to adjacent brain
- isointense to adjacent brain
- areas of cyst formation or necrosis may be present
- T1 C+ (Gd): vivid heterogeneous enhancement
- restricted diffusion due to dense cellular packing
- ADC values are typically ~400-800 mm2/s 7
Central necrosis is sometimes present which can make the mass appear centrally cystic and thus can roughly mimic a pineal cyst, although the latter should have a smooth, thin wall 6.
Screening of the whole neural axis is necessary as CSF seeding is seen in 45% of cases 7.
Treatment and prognosis
Treatment is usually a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation 7. Despite treatment, the prognosis is poor, with a 5-year survival of only 58% 8. Most important factors on a favourable outcome were early detection and treatment with at least chemotherapy, preferably a high dose regime with stem cell rescue 11.
Differential diagnosis
General imaging differential considerations include:
- other pineal parenchymal tumours
- pineocytoma: mature well-differentiated tumour: smaller and better circumscribed
- pineal parenchymal tumour with intermediate differentiation
- papillary tumour of the pineal region
- germ cell tumours
pineal cyst
- thin (<2 mm) wall
- astrocytoma of the pineal gland
- metastasis
- imaging is very similar
- located in the vermis rather than pineal region but can be difficult to distinguish if very high in the vermis and very large

NARAL Statement on Trump's Latest Anti-Choice Comments"Not only is this an unhinged position far from where the American people are, but it is sure to endanger women were he to become president"
Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, released the following statement on Donald Trump's recent, dangerous, anti-choice remarks:
"Donald Trump hit a new low today in not only towing the anti-choice line that abortion should be outlawed but in proposing that women who seek abortion care should be punished. Not only is this an unhinged position far from where the American people are, but it is sure to endanger women were he to become president.
"Everywhere abortion is illegal, the number of abortions don't go down. But the number of injuries and deaths go up. It's appalling that in a week where Trump has blamed the victim of violence at the hands of his campaign manager, he would offer to be the leader to inflict more violence on women whether through forcing us back into the back alley or punishing us for making our own health-care decisions.
"The worldview Donald Trump promotes is one where women should be shamed and blamed for their decisions. In a country where 7 in 10 Americans support legal abortion, this won't help him win the White House. People believe that women deserve compassion and support when we make decisions about our lives, not punished by a self-appointed dictator over our choices. We are so proud to stand with Hillary Clinton who understands that women's rights are human rights and always puts women at the center of every conversation. We'll continue fighting for her."
This statement adds to Donald Trump's previous anti-choice statements and policies. See a few below.
- Donald Trump would use overturning Roe v. Wade as a litmus test for the judges he'd nominate to the Supreme Court.
- Donald Trump supports an unconstitutional abortion ban.
- Donald Trump said he would shut down the government over Planned Parenthood funding.
NARAL Pro-Choice America and its network of state affiliates are dedicated to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom for all Americans. NARAL works to guarantee that every woman has the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion. In recognition of its work defending our constitutional right to choose, Fortune Magazine described NARAL as "one of the top 10 advocacy groups in America."

Rated 5 out of 5 by xmas1aa from color different than represented We ordered seven pieces of this collection. Beautiful outdoor furniture BUT the "weathered" picture is very deceiving. I was so sure that it would have a honey tone from that representation. GRAY is far from honey and that is what we have. Very disappointed!
Date published: 2014-03-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsLippy from Beautiful piece! This sofa is almost too pretty for a deck. I purchased it sit around our fireplace table with two of the Sedona lounge chair/rockers (I love those too). The Sedona collection is so well made and so pretty. I have purchased the furniture covers so that I can keep them protected from the rain so that they are always ready to use as I live in western PA. I am just so thrilled with this piece. It fits perfectly in the spot we intended it for and is nice and comfortable.

Capitalizing on Capitol History Tees
You would think that a hundred years after Denver citizens moaned so mightily about the worn condition of the Capitol building's copper dome that they inspired local miners to donate gold to cover the ugly thing, somebody might have thought to commemorate the significant anniversary. Fortunately, several bodies did. Last month Colorado State Capitol Dome Tour Supervisor Theresa Holst and Assistant Manager of Visitor Services Simon Maghakyan worked with Art Institute of Colorado instructor Karen Wilcox and her students Angelina Ruggiero, Tyler Conway, Leah Nielsen, Shane Roberts, and Darius Baumgartner in bringing about several T-shirts inspired by the "breathtaking" Dome. Silk-screened by the local crafters at INDYINK, the designs were unveiled on May 9th by Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff on the First Floor Rotunda of the State Capitol where shirts remain to be purchased for a thrifty $20. For more information on the shirts, call 303-866-3834.

Call (888) 651-9785
Widely considered home to some of Europe's best-preserved Roman architecture, the UNESCO-listed town of Orange is the jewel in the crown of Provence! Follow your guide through the town and marvel at the ancient sites you find.
March 2016
The tour was completely as advertised. We had the right amount of time in Orange and the wine tour was great for a first-time wine tasting. It was a relaxing afternoon but we also saw a great deal. Our guide was very knowledgeable both about the items on the tour and more generally in answering our questions about the Avignon area. She used perfect English and also was very patient in letting us practice our French.
July 2015
Great tour. Our tour guide Emilie was very informative and sweet. She picked us up from the hotel and we saw Orange and the vineyards of Chateauneuf de Pape and had a very nice wine tasting at one of the wineries. I recommend this tour
WeeMike China

Money well spent!
May 2015
The Roman arch and ancient theater in Orange are wonderfully preserved and important to see. The theater has a very good audio guide that comes with the tour. We enjoyed the tastings at the working winery and also the visit to ruins of the Pope's old chateau. Our guide Julian was excellent, fun, helpful.
November 2014
It was good, and the tour guide quite helpful. I really would have preferred to have a wine tasting at several wineries in Chateauneuf du Pape, but that was not an option.
October 2014
Wine and antiquity. What a combination! We thought the tour was fantastic.
December 2013
Virginia was our tour guide and she was WONDERFUL! We loved our experience. Thank you!
June 2013
Excellent tour. Vanessa was a great guide and tour was pitched just right to cover a lot without rushing
September 2012
Extremely enjoyable - a really helpful guide and a very good tasting at CNduP but the theatre at Orange was magnificent well worth the money
July 2012
My wife and I enjoyed this trip very much. Our tour guide was wonderful (our 2nd trip with her) and knowledgable. We think that such short or full day trips are the best way to see many local sites in an efficient, comfortable and relaxed way.

Booking in for a visit
When you arrive for your visit you will need to go to the Visitor's Centre, which is situated on the main driveway, next to the prison entrance.
The Visitors' Centre staff will go through the checking in procedures and will give you further information or help that you may require. You can buy refreshments at the Visitors' Centre and also sit and wait for your visit.
You will be asked to fill in an 'Open Visiting Order' form stating the name, address and date of birth of each visitor. You will then be called upstairs by the number on your form to show your identification to the prison booking staff and have your photograph and fingerprints taken.

You must make sure you have no gum or sweets in your mouth.
What happens on a visit?
Going into the prison
When you go to the main gate for your visit, you will need to go to the second glass window where prison staff will ask to see your Open Visiting Order and your wrist band.
When you enter the waiting area, you will be subject to a pat down search. All visitors (including children) will be searched. Personal items and any property to be handed in will also be checked. Dogs trained to detect drugs may also be present before you enter the visits hall. You may also, on the instructions of the governor only, be required to undergo a strip search.
The property hatch is located in the waiting area. If you want to hand in property for a prisoner, you must do so before the visit.
Behaviour and conduct during visits
Whilst the prison appreciates that visiting someone that you care about can be a difficult and sensitive occasion, it asks that you adhere to the rules and regulations that are in place. Most of these are displayed on the walls and notice boards. If you are unsure about how they will affect your visit then please ask a member of staff to explain them to you.
Below is a list of some of the rules that apply when on your visit:
- Please remember that children remain your responsibility throughout the entire time that you are in the prison. It is not acceptable for you to allow your child or children to run or play in the visiting aisles. You are welcome to use the play area
- At no time should you leave a person under the age of 18 years alone in the visiting hall
- Coats and other items of clothing should be placed in the lockers. This includes ponchos and headwear (unless it pertains to a recognised religion)
- Hooded coats, jackets, or jumpers are not allowed in the visits hall
- Sunglasses or tinted glasses cannot be worn in the visits hall
- Signing letters or documents is not allowed. If you need to use pen and paper you must gain permission from a senior prison office
- Intimate/sexual contact is not allowed. Any evidence that this is taking place will result in your visit being terminated and the prisoner being placed on Governor's Report
- Foul or abusive language will not be tolerated
- You are not permitted to visit any other inmate in the visiting hall. If you have booked to see another inmate you must leave the hall and wait to be called for your next visit
It is important that you understand the prison's rules at the onset of your visit, as any breach of these could mean that your visit is terminated.
Notes for parents
The prison asks parents or carers of young children to note the following:
- Children over the age of five are not allowed hooded coats, jackets or jumpers in the visits hall
- Babies' bottles or training cups must be clear (see-through)
After your visit
On completion of your visit, you may also be given a pat down search. Please note that the police will be called if it is suspected that you are carrying drugs or illicit items to pass to an inmate.
Help with travel costs
If you are on a low income or you receive benefits, you might be entitled to get help from the government with the cost of visiting your relative in prison. Help is provided by the Assisted Prison Visits Unit (APVU). You can claim for two visits a month.
For more information about the APVU:

Most local authorities offer access to internet facilities at reduced rates.
What's the latest time visitors are allowed in if they are late?
For the morning session enrolment closes at 10:00 and in the afternoon 15:00. Anybody who arrives after this point will not be allowed in.
How do prisoners know when they have a visit?
Either by return of visit order application within 3 working days or by the visits lists published on the wing 3 days in advance. This will include legal visits.
How many Visits are I allowed?
- For remand or detainees you can have 3 per week
- If you are convicted then you can have 2 per month
- Enhanced prisoners get an extra visit per month. Only enhanced prisoners can have visits on Sundays
What ID do my visitors need?
We operate a biometrics system. We will take the fingerprints of visitors on their first visit.
On the first visit visitors will need proof of address i.e. a bank statement or utility bill dated within the past 3 months and a form of official photographic ID. This includes freedom passes, drivers licences, current passport. ID that cannot be used includes oyster cards and student ID.
Correct ID should be brought for all visits at all times. If the biometrics fail you will need valid ID to be allowed entry.
What happens if they don't bring the correct ID or proof of address?
The Visitors will not be allowed in.
How long are visits and when are they?
We aim to provide a minimum of 1 hour visits and offer slots of up to 2 hours.
Those on closed visits may only get 30 minutes for their visit.
(Enhanced only)
|09:15-11:15 + 14:15-16:15
(Except for the 1st Tuesday of the month where it will be 09:15-11:15)
|09:15-11:15 + 14:15-16:15
|09:15-11:15 + 14:15-16:15
Who is placed on closed visits?
Those who are caught with contraband i.e. Drugs or phones or where information suggests that someone is involved in such culture will be placed on closed visits for 3 months regardless of adjudication outcomes. Each case will be reviewed at that stage and you will be informed whether you are to come off the restrictions or the reasons why you're staying on.
Those who are repeatedly involved in violence or commit violence while on basic may also be considered for Closed visits for a period of 3 months. Decisions will be made on a case by case basis and individuals will be informed.
The SO in visits can also put you on closed visits at their discretion on the day if you do not follow the rules in visits.
Closed visits is an administrative procedure rather than a punishment.
Can some visitors be banned from seeing you?
Yes, if your visitors is also registered as the victim of a case then they will not be allowed to visit.
Visitors will also be banned if they do not follow the rules of the establishment or if they are rude or abusive to staff. We operate a zero tolerance policy.
Visitors who are believed to bring contraband into the establishment face arrest, a criminal record and having a custodial sentence themselves. Visitors will be monitored by CCTV for the duration of their time in the establishment. This CCTV may be passed onto other authorities.
Can I hand anything out on a visit i.e letters or something I made here?
Is there a dress code for visitors and if so what is it?
HMP Pentonville operates a family orientated visits policy. The majority of our visitors are accompanied by children and we want to foster a decent, safe and relaxed family environment.
To maintain decency in the visits hall our dress code must be adhered to. This is to prevent inappropriate clothing being worn in and around the presence of other visitors and staff.
The following items of clothing should NOT be worn:
- Hats or scarves and head covering which are not worn on religious grounds
- Jackets or Coats
- Inappropriately damaged clothing
- Metal hair accessories
- Steel toe capped shoes/boots or cycle/motorcycle shoes
- Non prescription glasses i.e. sunglasses
- See-through tops
- Low cut revealing tops
- Crop tops revealing the navel area
- Male vests of any kind
- Items of clothing that display offensive abusive or insulting words or gestures
- Mini or very short skirts/dresses unless worn with leggings
- Shorts which are hot pant length - all shorts must be mid thigh to knee length
Due to the diversity of attire available the staff in visits will at all times use their discretion when faced with inappropriate dress but will in ALL cases make their decisions and judgements based on decency. You may be asked to adjust clothing or wear alternative clothing if available. As a last resort your visit may be cancelled if the dress code cannot be adhered to.
How do I find out about and apply for your famous family visits
Notices will go up around 2/3 weeks in advance on the visits notice boards. Arsenal days are open to those who are enhanced only, due to the small space available. Family days are open to those with children who are enhanced or standard (priority for enhanced).
We aim to run Arsenal days during the school holidays and Family days 6 times per year which works out on average as every other month.
Who are your family support partners?
Spurgeons is one of the UK's most well –respected children's charities, who work in partnership with HMP Pentonville. Our friendly team of family support workers can be found at the Visitors' Centre and are available to offer practical and emotional support on a wide range of issues, including childcare and bringing children to a visit.
Pact is a national charity working to support those affected by imprisonment. The aim of the service is to support prisoners and their families to make a fresh start in order to improve the outcomes for children.
- Worried about a family member
- Need support around preparing for a release
- Need support around telling the children about your imprisonment
- Need access to local services
- Or need someone to talk to

Political capture of decentralization : vote-buying through grants-financed local jurisdictions
A recent trend in decentralization in several large and diverse countries is the creation of local jurisdictions below the regional level -- municipalities, towns, and villages -- whose spending is almost exclusively financed by grants from both regional and national governments. This paper argues that such grants-financed decentralization enables politicians to target benefits to pivotal voters and organized interest groups in exchange for political support. Decentralization, in this model, is subject to political capture, facilitating vote-buying, patronage, or pork-barrel projects, at the expense of effective provision of broad public goods. There is anecdotal evidence on local politics in several large countries that is consistent with this theory. The paper explores its implications for international development programs in support of decentralization.

The final team of our series, the Demon Deacons are forced to replace a versatile home-run threat who left school early for the NFL.
OUT: Chris Givens. Givens led Wake Forest in 2011 with 83 receptions for a school-record 1,330 yards and nine touchdowns. His 102.3 receiving yards per game led the ACC, and his 6.4 catches per game were second in the conference. Givens averaged 110.8 all-purpose yards per game. The first-team all-conference receiver had seven 100-yard receiving games, one shy of the school record. He leaves school with 163 career catches for 2,473 yards, with 21 receiving touchdowns, along with 45 carries for 238 yards and two scores.
IN: Michael Campanaro. While not as fast as Givens, Campanaro may be more of a complete receiver. Coach Jim Grobe has said Campanaro is a better possession receiver than Givens, and the bigger question may be who slides into Campanaro's No. 2 role after a 2011 season that saw him catch 73 passes for 833 yards and two touchdowns. Matt James and Brandon Terry are both 6-foot-5 and speedy, and the latter has run track at Wake Forest as well. Terence Davis had 20 catches last season for 269 yards and five touchdowns. Lovell Jackson had success as a kick returner but is sitting out spring practice as he recovers from a shoulder injury.

50/50 Winners
50/50 Winners
According to the Paxton Record, PAXTON — Ford County State's Attorney Randy Yedinak said Monday that he hoped to decide sometime this week whether to criminally charge a longtime Paxton-Buckley-Loda school board member and Button Township supervisor
Illinois State Police said they consulted Yedinak before arrested Dean A. Swan, 52, at his rural Paxton home last month.
Swan was booked at the Ford County Jail on a preliminary charge of official misconduct, a Class 3 felony; and violating the Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act, a Class 4 felony.
According to the News-Gazette, An update on the process to replace Mike Frerichs in the state Senate: Naomi Jakobsson doesn't want the position but several other people do.
Jakobsson's name has been floated as a possible contender to fill the remaining two years on the Champaign Democrat's state Senate term, once he moves up to the office of state treasurer next month.
"You know what?" she said Tuesday. "If it were a two-year term without having to run (in 2016) I would do it."
But the Champaign and Vermilion County Democratic Party chairmen who will name Frerichs' successor — Al Klein and Frank Wright — want someone who not only will move into the 52nd District Senate seat for two years, but will run for election in 2016.
"Beyond those two years I don't really have it in me," Jakobsson said.

President Obama has won reelection, and his administration has asked state officials to decide by Friday, November 16, whether their state will create one of Obamacare's health-insurance "exchanges." States also have to decide whether to implement the law's massive expansion of Medicaid. The correct answer to both questions remains a resounding no.
ObamaCare Not Pro-Market
Today's New York Times features an opinion piece by J.D. Kleinke of the conservative American Enterprise Institute. Kleinke's thesis is that ObamaCare's conservative opponents should stop complaining. "ObamaCare is based on conservative, not liberal, ideas."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- First they sweep the New York Yankees. Now they've swept the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What gives with these supposedly-lowly Kansas City Royals? Three weeks ago, they were on track to lose more than 110 games. But since Buddy Bell became their manager they've won 11 of 15, including a 9-6 defeat of Los Angeles on Thursday night that gave them a three-game sweep of the Dodgers.
The victory also gave them the distinction of being the only team to have three-game sweeps of the Yankees and Dodgers in one year, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Of course, interleague play didn't begin until 1997.
"I'm not going to try to figure it out because when we figure it out, it might end," outfielder Emil Brown said. "I'm not going to try to figure it out. We're going to keep rolling with it."
Alberto Castillo had three RBI, including a two-run double that keyed a six-run sixth inning, and Mike Wood (3-2) got the victory in relief of starter Zack Greinke.
"Buddy has given us a lot of confidence," Castillo said. "He says, 'You guys know how to play the game, you've got to prepare yourself to play the game mentally."'
Only one of the six runs in the sixth against Derek Lowe (5-7) was earned. With one out in the sixth, David DeJesus and Matt Stairs singled, and Brown reached on shortstop Antonio Perez's error as DeJesus scored, making it 3-3.
The Dodgers left the bases loaded twice and left 11 runners on base.
"We stranded runners, we didn't get the job done defensively in the sixth inning and it cost us the ballgame," manager Jim Tracy said. " Derek Lowe deserved better than he got. I can tell you that."
After Brown reached in the sixth, Terrence Long singled and was forced at second on Shane Costa's fielder's choice grounder that scored Stairs.
As Royals fans who've had little to cheer about roared louder and louder, Mark Teahen hit an RBI single, Castillo hit a two-run double and Ruben Gotay greeted reliever Frankquelis Osoria with an RBI single.
Until then, Lowe had retired 11 in a row.
"At no point did you think they were going to score six runs," Lowe said.
"You've got to give them credit. I didn't see them play earlier this year. But apparently Buddy's got them playing really good. They put together some good at-bats and they kicked our tails for three games in a row."
The Royals, who were 13-37 when Bell took over on May 31, also won their season-best fifth in a row. They hadn't done that in almost exactly two years.
"I'm a big part of this team, don't get me wrong," said Bell, who keeps trying to deflect the credit.
"I have responsibilities. I know I'm capable of carrying those responsibilities out. But the players win games. Sometimes you've just got to stay out of their way and that's what I'm doing now."
The seven hits in the sixth were a season high for the Royals, who got their ninth run in the seventh on Long's RBI double. Every Royals starter had a hit.
The Royals took a 2-0 lead on Stairs' sacrifice fly in the first and Castillo's RBI single in the second, then Olmedo Saenz had an RBI single for the Dodgers in the third.
Jason Grabowski hit an 0-1 pitch from Greinke over the fence in right for a 3-2 lead.
Greinke, who was coming off the worst start of his career when he gave up 15 hits and 11 earned runs at Arizona, went five innings and was charged with three runs and eight hits.
Pinch-hitter Jayson Werth hit a two-run double in the ninth for the Dodgers, who scored only three runs while losing the first two games of the series.
One thing spurring on the Royals may be that people are scared for their jobs with a new boss in town.
"I feel a lot of guys are rooting other guys on, maybe competing with other guys right now, just trusting other guys," Wood said. "You've got to prove yourself to a guy who hasn't watched our team that much."
- According to Elias, the Angels and Seattle Mariners also swept the Yankees and Dodgers in one season since interleague play began, but both were not three-game sweeps.
- The Royals got good news when 1B Mike Sweeney was not put on the disabled list. Sweeney was hurt Wednesday when a runner ran into his outstretched arm. He's day-to-day with a sore left wrist and elbow, but more tests will be done Friday.
- Dodgers third base coach Glenn Hoffman was back in the dugout but not on the field after getting hit in the head by a ball during batting practice Wednesday. Tracy said Hoffman was still "a little cloudy."

My son has AIED [Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease, a syndrome involving progressive hearing loss]. He began losing his hearing a little over two years ago at the age of 10. He currently has a profound to moderate sensorineural, bilateral loss. The loss is progressive. He obviously has acquired speech and language as a hearing child. What impact am I looking for as we go forward? Prior to the loss he tested at or above for reading levels, now his reading scores are below grade level. He still makes A's and B's in all subjects except math. He does struggle. He attends a small public school with no deaf education resources.
With any child with hearing loss, it is important to monitor different areas of development. The first is language. Based on your description, I am assuming he is using auditory/oral skills. You have indicated that his expressive (spoken) language is on target, but it is also important to monitor his receptive language skills. With the progressive nature of his hearing loss, does he still have good access to spoken language? This may impact his overall functioning, especially in school.
I am not sure what kind (if any) of hearing technologies (hearing aids, cochlear implant, FM system, etc.) he is using, but unless he is using a signed-based language, making sure that he has good audibility is key. If audibility is a concern, providing information in a visual form may be beneficial. His educational needs should also be monitored. It sounds like he continues to do well in school and that is great! If you notice that he is starting to struggle, it is important to question why. Is he understanding what goes on in class? Could support services be provided to help him stay on target? It is important to work with his school to make sure his needs are met. I would work with them to see if he is eligible for an IEP or 504 plan (if he doesn't already have one). Talk with his teachers, administrators, speech-language pathologists, deaf educators, etc. See if they can work to support his need for deaf education resources.
Finally, it sounds like your son may have had an stressful few years. Often overlooked, it is important to monitor the psychosocial impact of his hearing loss. Does he have a good understanding and acceptance of his hearing loss? Does he have a support system of friends, especially any with hearing loss? Feelings of isolation or questions/concerns about his hearing loss may impact his life. Working with a school psychologist may be beneficial. I hope these suggestions are helpful as you work to provide the best for your son!
We are constantly searching for appropriate assessment tools that address all the developmental areas of young children without penalizing the child because of the language acquisition differences. What do you suggest? We serve children ages 6 weeks through kindergarten with deaf, other communication disorders and hearing siblings all in the same classrooms.
This is a tough one, because communication delays and disorders potentially can affect all areas of development and/or give the appearance of doing so. I expected that most states would offer guidance in this respect…but have been disappointed. The New York State Department of Health does offer information ranging from dealing with the communication challenges per se to cultural issues and parent involvement in assessment. Both West Virginia's and Minnesota's Departments of Education offer listings of assessment tools for deaf and hard-of-hearing children that appear likely to be useful for a broad range of children.
A couple of book suggestions: In 2008, the Journal of Pediatric Psychology published a special issue on evidence-based assessment of children with various disorders. You could write to individual contributors to that issue who might seem pertinent. In the general area is Cohen and Spenciner's Assessment of Children and Youth with Special Needs, 4th Edition. Specifically with regard to deaf and hard-of-hearing children is Edwards and Crocker's Psychological Processes in Deaf Children with Complex Needs – An Evidence-Based Practical Guide.
With the number of children getting cochlear implants and their parents not using sign language with them, what are their outcomes in mainstream schools…are they still affected like deaf signing children (missing out on full access)? What percentage of the deaf student population in mainstream today, use sign language verses oral?
Several studies have found deaf children with cochlear implants to be reading at or near grade level during the elementary school years, a great improvement over what typically has been seen among deaf children without implants. By high school and college, however, implants are no longer associated with better reading achievement (although use of spoken language is). Interestingly, the same is true of deaf children who are native users of sign language by virtue of having deaf parents. That is, studies have found those children also to be reading at or near grade level during elementary school, but neither parental hearing status nor sign language ability is longer associated with better reading achievement by high school. These findings might suggest that full access is an issue for both groups, but they also may be related to the greater difficulty and complexity of to-be-learned material in the higher grades.
With regard to language use in the mainstream, you would think this would be a straightforward question with a straightforward answer. Unfortunately, it's not. According to data drawn from the Gallaudet University Annual Survey of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Youth, 19.5% of DHH students under age 13 are taught through spoken language only and 22% through sign language only. For students aged 13 and older, 6.7% are taught through spoken language only and 37.2% through sign language only. Data from the Annual Survey, however, are known to be weighted toward special schools and programs for DHH students, and it does not appear that the data are broken down by school type. According to data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 (NLTSES 2), a study of a nationally representative sample of DHH high school students, 51.6% of students in regular schools use sign language (compared to 98.1% in special schools) and 94.5% of them use spoken language (compared to 59% in special schools). What all of this tells you is that most DHH students use both forms of communication, although knowing their fluencies in each and the contexts in which they use them (including school) would require further investigation.

I am an educational interpreter for a deaf student in high school. She has been taught by a teacher if the deaf all her schooling life in a pull-out English/reading class. This year she was mainstreamed into an English/literature class. She reads at just below grade level. During class, when the (hearing) teacher has the whole class independently read from a book, should I use my finger to guide the student's reading, or should I sign the whole thing? If the teacher has other children read out loud or uses a audio recording to help read out loud for the hearing students, should I encourage the student to look at the text and guide with my finger, or should I sign the whole thing? The goal I presume is to help enhance reading skills, and my gut tells me to have the deaf student read the visual. But my teacher of the deaf tells me to sign everything. I find that counter intuitive. If the student was learning to read, I would sign and attach the visual word to it at an elementary or preschool level. But this student knows how to read; this is now a high school level reading class. We are talking novels, short stories, etc.
While we have little information about the effectiveness of interpreted education for school age students (e.g., Schick, Williams, & Kupermintz, 2006), researchers have found that college-age deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) students may gain equally as much or more knowledge from reading as they do from seeing someone sign a lecture (Borgna et al.,2011; Marschark et al., 2009). This information might be something to consider when you begin having important conversations with the English teacher, the teacher of the deaf, and the student.
First, you should talk with the classroom teacher and teacher of the deaf to gather what their goals are for this activity. If the classroom teacher is listening to the hearing students read to gauge their decoding skills, then helping the DHH student follow along by tracing your finger above the words would be appropriate. This way the DHH student would be ready to read when her turn came. Asking the teachers about their goals will clear up any assumptions on your part and you can work with them to be ensure these goals are met.
Second, you should talk with the student and find out her preferences during English class. The student might prefer to read while you aid in tracking or the student may feel uncomfortable having someone that physically close during class. These preferences should be taken into consideration when deciding how to interpret in the classroom but may not be paramount to the teacher's goal during the lesson. Your combined knowledge and ability to communicate as an educational team will resolve this issue as well as many in the future.

I am doing research on the benefits of early language acquisition and teaching d/Deaf babies ASL. I am having trouble locating those who oppose it outwardly in either a scholarly journal or university publication. Do you have any suggestions as to where I may find this information?
I am not aware of credible arguments against teaching sign language to deaf babies, in principle. There are some arguments that sign language can interfere with the development of spoken language, but there is considerable evidence that refutes that position (see below).
At the same time, there also is evidence that children with cochlear implants who are in "oral" programs show better spoken language development than those in sign language or Total communication programs (see below). However, it is unclear whether that is because children with greater spoken language skills (or potential) are more likely to be "oral" programs or dividing children's – and parents', early interventionists' and educators' – time and resources between two languages is not as efficient as focusing on only one. Without something resembling a randomly controlled trial, this is not a question that is going to be answered easily (see below). Further, the "politics" of the issue are such that even what appears to be support for one position or the other is not going to be accepted by many.

Do DHH students succeed better in academic and other assessments by using ASL or SEE?
I'm afraid (or happy) that it is not quite that simple. There are certainly individuals who will argue that deaf learners will benefit more from ASL (American Sign Language) or SEE (SEE1 – Seeing Essential English or SEE2 – Signing Exact English) than the other, or from other forms of communication. The research, however, indicates that there is no one form of signed or spoken communication that is going to work for all deaf learners.
English-based signing systems (like SEE) were developed on the assumption that they would help deaf children learn to read English, but there is little evidence that they work any better than American Sign Language (ASL), which is a natural language (rather than an artificial sign system) but does not easily map onto English. Regardless of language and modality (signed or spoken), the key to deaf children's academic success (and other aspects of growth) is early, effective access to language and being surrounded by it consistently. "Effective" is emphasized here because what is effective for one deaf child might not be for another. It is essential that deaf children are evaluated (and regularly re-evaluated) to determine how their language is progressing and whether whatever language(s) they are using is the most appropriate.
Sorry, there are no silver bullets.

I currently work as a nanny for a family with small children but previously worked for the school system as a sign language interpreter. I was trying to find some resources on an Early Language Development Curriculum for deaf children and their parents. I would love to be able to offer families a service in which they have their deaf preschool children (0-5 ages) learn cognitive/ fine motor skills/ language development through ASL. I have read some of the previous posts, and found a very interesting link to the NCSD family sign language (FSL) based through the UK. I would however be very much interested in learning if there was a similar program here in the United States.
There are a number of excellent ASL-related sites available through the website of the American Society for Deaf Children.
I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school and work one to one with a deaf child aged 4. The main educational focus for this child is to develop their understanding and ability to use sign language however I'm not sure which way would be the best way to teach this?
I am able to use a basic level of sign language. The student has picked up some signs on their own like drink, toilet and food; however, this is a very slow process, does anyone have any tips?
Your question which is massively important for the pupil with whom you are working. You clearly recognise that the situation you describe is not working, and you are absolutely right to voice your concern.
For this or any child to acquire a language, accessible, fluent language models are necessary, and consistent use is essential. That means that if sign language is the goal, the child will need to be surrounded by fluent and consistent language at school and at home. This may be a huge challenge for the whole family, but it's an essential ingredient to long-term success. It would be helpful to have them look into NDCS family sign language curriculum.
It would appear from the description of your situation that both you and this child are being put in an untenable position. It is unreasonable for you to be given the responsibility to teach the child sign language: a highly-skilled sign language user trained to work with young children in an educational setting, ideally a native signer, is needed for the child's future language, cognitive, and social-emotional development. With only a handful or words/signs at the age of four there should be a clear, focussed and frequently monitored language development programme in place for this pupil. If the child already has had extensive exposure to sign language, it also might be worthwhile requesting a cognitive evaluation just in case there are other factors at play.
The circumstances will of course be more complicated than you are able to express in a few short sentences, and it is important, therefore, that a much more detailed and extensive review of the situation is undertaken. In the first instance, you need to discuss this with the class teacher, SENCo and teacher of the deaf as soon as possible.
I have a seven month old daughter just diagnosed with profound hearing loss. What are the main things I should be doing with her immediately (apart from starting sign language, which we did before she was officially diagnosed) to promote her language and literacy acquisition down the track?
You are already doing the most important thing: asking questions. Next, but not unrelated, you should look into family-centered early intervention programs. Descriptions of these, the issues you need to be aware of, and the questions you should be asking can be found in two articles recently published and available from the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education. Click on "Read Highlighted Articles for FREE."
Meanwhile, enjoy your daughter and engage in as much communication as possible by talking to her, signing to her, and through touch. Just remember to get her (visual) attention before communicating. You will do great!
I am needing help with explaining how an 11th grade student who is deaf with ASL as his first language and English as his second language and uses an ASL interpreter in class is struggling with learning Latin IV. He uses a CI and hearing aid.
Research on deaf signers who have ASL as their first/preferred language has clearly shown that their skills in using spoken/written English vary enormously. Those who acquire ASL earliest tend to be better at English overall than those who learn ASL later, but many do struggle with English as it is for them a second language (just as learning say French would be for a native English speaker). Learning then additional spoken/written languages beyond English is even more challenging for the deaf student, particularly when they are being taught alongside hearing students via interpreters. This would be like a native English speaker who can read and write French as a foreign language trying to learn Latin as an additional language in a class full of monolingual French speakers where the class was taught exclusively in spoken French and interpreted (just for that one student) into spoken English. There has been very little research on acquisition of additional/foreign languages by deaf signers in these kinds of situations, but it is clear that such a student must be given proper support in order to achieve the same level of success as his hearing peers.

Mark Purdey, an organic farmer of Elworthy, Somerset, asked for the animal to be put down on Tuesday after its condition had deteriorated. A post mortem examination will now be carried out to establish the cause of Damson's illness.
A week ago Mr Purdey's own vet, Mandy Fraser, injected Damson with oxime, a chemical carried by troops in the Gulf war as an antidote to nerve gas. Within 90 minutes the cow, which had been showing all the disoriented symptoms of BSE, appeared to have made a remarkable recovery.
Mr Purdey believed that visible success of his radical prescription suggested that BSE might be caused by organo-phosphates, chemicals used to combat warble fly in cow hides, and not by contaminated feeds as the Government says.
Last Friday Miss Fraser's senior colleague, Christopher Budge, took over the case and examined Damson in the presence of John Cohen, a government vet.
Over the weekend Damson's condition deteriorated and Mr Purdey asked his vet to continue the oxime injections. His first visitor on Monday was Mr Cohen.
'He told me Miss Fraser wouldn't be dealing with it any more because she was too stressed,' Mr Purdey said yesterday. 'Then he said he'd looked at the cow, in his opinion it had BSE, was a welfare problem and should be put down.
'Half an hour later Christopher Budge arrived and I said 'Let's treat the cow' and he said 'I've got to get on to two experts I know, just so we know we're doing the right thing.' He phoned me at 6pm saying he'd contacted his expert who'd referred him to someone else.
'Next day Damson was down on the ground. I wanted to go to the High Court to force them to continue the treatment. Then Mr Cohen turned up again and I consented to her being put down. I'm just bloody angry about the whole business. Perhaps someone wanted to avoid the embarrassment of the treatment working.'
Mr Cohen declined to discuss his role, but said: 'Some of the impressions in the media have been distinctly misguided.'
Mr Budge said: 'I'd sought further information, with Mr Purdey's agreement, from someone in Cambridge, a man I trust implicitly who's good in this field. I wanted to know more about the pathogenesis on OP poisoning, a second opinion in the best interests of my client and the welfare of the animal.
'I was quite happy to treat the cow. If Mr Purdey's saying I wasn't then there's freedom of speech in this country.'
Jane Holman, of the Ministry of Agriculture, reinforced Mr Budge's denial. 'We took no steps whatsoever to stop the treatment,' she said.

Lady Gaga [1] muses on her quick rise to superstardom -- and offers a prayer for those not yet there -- in a new promo clip for "Lady Gaga Presents: The Monster Ball Tour," the concert documentary premiering May 7 on HBO, that was released today (Apr. 26).
The video, titled "Lady Gaga's Backseat Prayer," finds the pop star discussing the merits of fame with some friends, as their car makes its way to Madison Square Garden. "My faith in my creativity and my artistry has nothing to do with 'making it,'" says Gaga. "When we were playing for nothing downtown, it was still like we'd made it. We still felt like we were superstars."
The promo clip shows the NYC-raised singer comfortably navigating her old city stomping grounds: she orders a cup of coffee while wearing her "Born This Way" jean jacket, and walking down a familiar block in a leotard. When she arrives at Madison Square Garden, which was where the concert documentary was filmed on Feb. 21-22, Gaga says, "Do you know how many times I came to this arena? I saw everybody. And now they're opening these gates up for us."
Lady Gaga Reveals 'Born This Way' Album Cover [2]
The clip ends with shots of the two MSG shows, which is paired with the audio of Gaga's pre-show prayer. Grasping hands with members of her crew, the singer says, "They used to always tell me, 'You will never be the main star, because you're too ethnic, you're too Italian, you're too out-there.' It doesn't matter who you are or where you've come from or how much money you've got in your pocket: you have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you."
The promotional video follows the release of another clip from the documentary, in which Gaga breaks down in tears and says that she sometimes still feels "like a loser kid in high school." Two weeks after "The Monster Ball Tour" premieres on HBO, Lady Gaga's sophomore album, "Born This Way," will be released on May 23. The music video for second single "Judas," which debuted at No. 10 on last week's Hot 100, will premiere during an episode of "American Idol" next week.

Crochet edging is often made from thin thread or yarn. It can be a a thin line of small loops or a wide band of trim with an intricate pattern. Edging has one straight edge and is designed to go along the edge of an item. You can purchase machine made trim or make your own. The edging can be sewn on quickly with a sewing machine but sewing it on by hand will give your special handmade trim the best appearance.
Items you will need
- Thread
- Needle (optional)
- Scissors
- Sewing machine (optional)
Hand SewingStep 1
Thread a needle with 18 inches of thread and knot one end.
Fold under 1/2 inch on the end of the trim.
Place the folded end of the trim against the edge of the item so that it is butted up against the edge. The trim and the edge should touch but not overlap.
Stick the needle through the fabric 1/8 inch in from the edge. Pull the thread through until the knot rests against the back of the fabric.
Stitch over the lowest thread on the edging at the point closest to the place the thread came out of the fabric.
Make a second stitch in the same way 1/8 inch from the first stitch. Continue stitching in this way until you reach the end of the edge.
Fold under the last end of the trim in the same way you folded under the first end. Stitch the folded edge down and knot your thread to secure it. Cut off any excess thread.
Machine SewingStep 1
Fold under the end of the trim 1/2 inch.
Place the edging on the edge of the item lapping the straight edge over the fabric 1/4 inch.
Stitch the edging to the fabric by sewing 1/8 inch from the straight edge of the edging.
Fold the final end of the edging under 1/2 inch before you sew it down.
