Breast Cancer |
Breast lump worries08/26/2008 |
Hello! (again). I am 27 and a couple of months ago I noticed a lump in my breast. I went to a doctor a few days ago who insepected my breast and examined as well. The lump is hard, painless, mobile and 2cm by 2cm. He has scheduled me to have a mammogram and possibly an ultrasound/see a surgeon in 2 weeks. (After reading stories of young surviovors of breast cancer, I realize how very fortunate I am to have had a doctor to take this issue so very seriously). So now, I have a few more questions. I like to add a big THANK YOU for this website by the way. There is no other site I could find on the internet capable of easing ones mind while professionally answering questions. Back to the questions. I have read about Fibroadenomas (my doctor also said this was a possibility). Can they harbor cancer or become cancer? Is it safe to leave it alone if this is what is in my breast? Also, are all breas cancer lumps immobile? How often are cancerous lumps mobile? Im so sorry to have taken your time if I sound like a silly girl! This just has me so very nervous. Any response to my questions are GREATLY appreciated
Breast masses in young women such as yourself are usually benign (either fibroadenomas or cysts). It is possible for this mass to be a cancer, however, so you should get the recommended films and see the surgeon.
Fibroadenomas are benign and do not become cancer. They do not go away on their own once you have one, however. They can either stay the same size or enlarge with the hormones that cause you to have periods every month. If this is a fibroadenoma, you can leave it alone or have it removed, whichever you are most comfortable with.
Most breast cancers are fixed and hard but a few will be mobile so be sure to get all of the tests that your doctor recommends.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Many families across the country are preparing to send their kids to college and instead of writing checks for investing, parents are getting out their checkbooks to fund college tuition or dorm living costs.
The quest for yield-enhanced income alternatives makes it difficult as college tuition has been skyrocketing for decades--with growth outpacing the Consumer Price Index, gasoline and even the out-of-control health care costs.
The chart below shows price changes in these categories. The lines represent the price in a given year, as a percent of the price in 1985. For example, if a line reaches 200, that means prices in that year were 200 percent of those in 1985, or twice as high.
Keeping up with inflation is difficult enough but what about trying to prepare for college education? Parents and all investors are constantly looking for alternative income strategies to fund living expenses and with the historical rate of college inflation close to 6 percent it is hard to find a promising alternative.
But what about campus housing?
American Campus Communities (ACC), based in Austin, is the largest campus housing REIT (since 2008) in the United States. American Campus owns 124 student housing properties containing approximately 76,100 beds. Including its owned and third-party managed properties, ACC's total managed portfolio consists of 153 properties with approximately 99,900 beds.
Since 1996 American Campus has developed more than $3.4 billion in properties (for the company and others) and the company has acquired in excess of $2.8 billion in student housing assets. The growth in the specialty campus housing sector is driven by strong demographic trends--primarily college enrollment trends. Between 2009 and 2020 college enrollment is projected to increase by 13 percent to approximately 23 million students.
Recently I interviewed William "Bill" C. Bayless Jr., American Campus Communities co-founder, CEO and president.
Brad Thomas: Many REIT investors have gone with the more sustainable sectors, especially the specialty REITs. Can you tell me what is driving the growth dynamics of the campus housing sector?
Bill Bayless: The student-housing sector benefits from strong industry fundamentals. Between 2009-2020, college enrollment is projected to increase 13% to approximately 23 million students. Additionally, there is an increasing percentage of high school students attending college, and students are also taking longer than four years to complete their degrees.
On the supply side, the 1950s and '60s on-campus residence halls built for the original baby boomers need to be replaced due to functional obsolescence. With the budgetary constraints in many states forcing colleges and universities to utilize their limited funding for core academic and research capital projects, the private sector is stepping in to fund the replacement and modernization of these aging facilities.

Investing in sovereign credit has been, and has become again, a dicey affair. Countries' resources have been taxed, in view of the financial unwind that has overtaken much of Europe and the United States, and there's been outright mismanagement and political discord. Arrangements to keep various nations' financial systems breathing has brought about a great deal of borrowing and not always sufficient resources to repay.
All of this begs the question as to whether investment in sovereign obligations is worthwhile. Indeed, history is rife with examples of governmental financial mismanagement, with many a nation the victim (or perpetrator) of serial defaults over time.
See: The Risks Of Sovereign Bonds.
Inherent Risk
To gain a sense of the challenges of investing in sovereign bonds, it helps to understand that embedded in them are several types of risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Bond prices and interest rates are inversely correlated. While this type of risk is common to most types of fixed income, changes in rates affect government bond prices, making their sale and purchase more precarious. -
Political Risk
Multifaceted, this risk requires of the analyst an understanding of a nation's political process. How stable is the incumbent government? How influential is the opposition? Regime change could directly impact a government's willingness and/or ability to make good on its obligations. Do race and religion have a role in the political process? What is the strength of trade unions and other organized forces? To what extent are key industries nationalized or privatized? -
Economic Risk
How well do a nation's current account earnings pay for its external debt and debt service? What are acceptable limits that allow it to meet its obligations while not sacrificing crucial services to its people (e.g. infrastructure, trash collection, electricity)? What is the level of foreign borrowing relative to current income? Who are its creditors? Does the nation have abundant natural resources and does it use them effectively? How well defined is its fiscal policy? What are the current and historical rates of unemployment and inflation, and why? What are the sources of growth and why? -
Foreign Exchange Risk
Depending upon the currency in which the investor "keeps score" (reports returns), he or she could be subject to greater volatility and losses if the home currency is strong, relative to the foreign one, and the exposure is unhedged. The strength or weakness of a nation's currency is a function of its competitiveness, business climate, export diversification, source of foreign exchange, the degree of governmental control on it and protectionism. -
Default/Restructuring Risk
This is no different than the risk that an individual might fail to pay his or her bills on time. Default risk embodies all of the foregoing considerations which, if they point to a lack in funds flowing to the coffers, may cause a nation to run afoul of its creditors, which often leads to a ratings downgrade and lack of confidence in that nation's ability to effectively manage its systemic risks. Sovereign creditors may not have recourse to a bankruptcy code to enforce repayment. Investors have used the credit default swap (CDS) to speculate, as well as hedge off the viability of a sovereign's obligations to its creditors, sometimes holding this form of insurance policy with no insurable interest. (To learn more about CDSs, read Credit Default Swaps: An Introduction.)
Sovereign Debt or Sovereign Death?
Given the multiple risks inherent in government paper, a proper analysis needs to be forward looking. If officialdom is willing and ready to implement tough reforms to pare back debt through restructuring and/or fiscal means, then there could be hope. Too strict a diet, however, and the consequences could be harsh, if not altogether devastating. Consider the August 2011 fracas over the increase to the United States' debt ceiling, due to partisan bickering to the 11th hour, and a resultant credit downgrade from two ratings agencies. In this instance, U.S. paper "prevailed" in spite of itself, due to the dollar's globally recognized reserve status. However, the country's staggering debt load can be sustained for only so long.
The value of individual eurozone countries' debt is a function of its members' fiscal policy. Indeed, owing to its near death experience with hyperinflation in the 1920s, Germany has become the model of fiscal and monetary probity and the country is alternatively looked to or loathed by its fellow EU members in the ongoing mess in the European Monetary Union (EMU). By contrast, the peripheral eurozone nations of Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy have been accorded yields of varying punitive degree by the markets, as a function of their individual fiscal circumstances.
Are Sovereign Bonds Worth Investing In?
Governments typically do not go out of business, but leadership often passes through a revolving door. Extensive and ongoing study of the risks earlier listed in this piece is essential. Individual and institutional investors must clearly define and articulate their objectives for purchase and understand the key contractual components of the debt: who holds it and how easy or difficult it is to trade or, if necessary, restructure, when holding it becomes untenable. Investors should focus on countries where growth (or its potential) is higher, aggregate indebtedness is lower, financial flexibility exists, the ability and willingness to repay is evident, public accounts are transparent and asset protection exists.
The Bottom Line
Finance has proven to be cyclical. There is progress followed by regression, succeeded by advancement yet again. Learning the lessons of history is a sine qua non. One thing is certain: the cycles do repeat themselves, providing ample fodder for study. (For related reading, check out Investing Beyond Your Borders.)

ACT advocates vouchers for education
Jamie Whyte said:
If a supermarket fails to provide its customers with the food they want, it will go broke. Other supermarkets that offer these dissatisfied customers a better deal will win their business.
The same goes for the farms that produce the food. Fail to provide what your customers want as efficiently as your competitors do and you will eventually go bust.
This ongoing competitive market process explains why the quality of food has improved so much over the last 100 years while the cost has declined.
By contrast, if a state school fails to provide educations that satisfy the parents of their pupils, it will not shut down. Its income does not come from the parents it is failing to satisfy. It comes from taxpayers with no choice in the matter.
Indeed, if a school performs poorly, it is likely to attract extra government funding. In the private sector, resources flow into success; in the public sector they flow into failure.
There is a large degree of truth to this.
We do not get a variety of educational offerings tailored to the different needs and preferences of children and their parents. We get a standardized, one-size-fits-all educational model.
And, as always with one-size-fits all models, state education in New Zealand now fits only a few children.
Who are those children?
They are children with well-off, well-educated parents.
Parents who can afford to buy a house near to a school that will do a good job for their child.
Yep our current system gives wealthy families a choice, but not poor families.
ACT thinks education should be provided in a market of competing suppliers. That has always been our position.
It does not mean that we are opposed to the state funding of education. Not at all. We share the almost universally accepted idea that all children should get a decent chance in life, whatever the circumstances of their birth.
But that doesn't mean that the state must provide educations, that it must run schools.
This is key. There is a different between the state funding something, and providing it.
Government should make sure that every child gets an education by providing all parents with a voucher, redeemable at any school of their choosing.
Vouchers would be a radical reform of the education system. And to a degree the results are unknown. In theory the choice should end up with much better outcomes for poorer students. But are all our schools set up to be self-managing and competing? What if half of them collapsed?
That is not a reason to reject vouchers. It is a reason to trial them. Then make decisions based on the evidence of whether or not they improved educational outcomes.
How about we pick three cites and towns. Turn those cities and towns into fully competitive voucher funded educational centres. And after five years assess the performance of students in those three cities and towns compared to the rest of NZ (in terms of relative change). If they have not improved, then scrap the trial. If they have shown significant improvement, then extend it to some further cities and towns. Make the decision based of actual evidence, not ideology.

Hoff's ex-wife, Pamela Bach, was arrested on charges of driving under the influence on Saturday Night. She was taken by the California Highway Patrol to the jail in Van Nuys.
According to reports, the former power couple had a rough Thanksgiving weekend.Pamela Bach was later released. There was no bail however this was not the first DUI arrest for the former Baywatch star. Last March she was picked up on a felony in Los Angeles for DUI as well.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, her ex-husband David Hasselhoff was released from the hospital after a two day stint. Rumors are swirling as to the reason: it was originally reported that the 57-year-old star suffered a seizure at his home, however his attorney declined to confirm or deny this allegation.
A fire department spokesperson confirmed that paramedics responded to a call for help at the time his daughter called 911. In turn, David was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The judge of America's Got Talent was placed under involuntary psychiatric hold under the California Welfare and Institutions Code 5150. Net net: under this code people may be taken into custody if they pose a danger to themselves or to others, if they suffer from a mental disorder or if they are severely impaired.
Hasselhoff has had a battle with the bottle and had reportedly been drinking the past few days. In September he was hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning and last month he seemed to be drunk while he was a presenter during the MTV Europe Music Awards. His attorney assured reporters that he is now home and fine.

Everybody knows tonight's the night Santa departs the North Pole on his round-the-world trip delivering presents. What you might not know is that because the weather at the North Pole can be challenging this time of year, Santa has an instrument approach procedure available for his arrival back home.
Pilots use an instrument approach procedure to guide them to an airport in lousy conditions like, say, an Arctic storm. When flying in clouds, known as instrument meteorological conditions or IMC, there are no ground references available to navigate by. Pilots must rely on instruments. Radio signals have been used for decades, but these days, GPS is the most common navigation aid.
Following signals alone isn't enough to land safely. Coming into an airport, an approach procedure is used to assure the pilot there won't be any conflicts with terrain (such as failure to maintain clearance), and assure both pilot and air traffic controller that the aircraft will be in a predictable place. An example of an approach procedure for SFO in San Francisco is shown below.
Santa's instrument-approach procedure allows him to get himself and the reindeer back home safe and sound after a long night of flying.
Santa has the option of using a newer GPS approach, as well as an old-school non-directional beacon (NDB) radio approach as a backup. He can't risk a satellite constellation failure, and thankfully the FAA hasn't decomissioned his NDB approach.
Across the top of the "approach plate" you see the various radio frequencies Santa has available to receive weather information and talk to air traffic control. Who knows why there is a North Pole Unicom. This is typically the frequency to talk with other aircraft in the area. I always just assumed there would be a temporary flight restriction at the North Pole during Christmas.
Anyhow, Santa can make his approach down to 400 feet. At that altitude, known as the minimum descent altitude (MDA), he must be able to see part of the runway or the lights illuminating it. However, having Rudolph up front with his nose so bright probably gives Santa a bit of an advantage and he might even be tempted to bust minimums every now and then.
If Santa can't see the runway or markers at 400 feet, he must execute a missed approach procedure that includes a climbing right turn to 1,500 feet, then a holding pattern before making another attempt.
One convenience Santa enjoys is the simple heading to remember to get home. As the approach plate shows, as long as he follows a true heading of 360 degrees, he should find his way whether he's coming from Sydney, New Delhi or London.
With a 5,739-foot runway, Santa has plenty of room to get his sleigh down in even the worst conditions. And at only 17 feet above sea level, thin air won't be an issue affecting the performance of his nine reindeer.
Hopefully in the coming years, Santa will get a required navigation performance (RNP) approach, allowing him to land with lower minimums (cloud levels). The regulating authority at the North Pole is a bit slow — the precision approach technology is just now catching up with the red-nosed illumination landings Santa's been making for a long time. At least, he doesn't have to rely on the NDB approach, which can frustrate even the most experienced pilots.
Meanwhile, you can track Santa and watch for the time when he pulls out his instrument approach plate and lands safely back at home.

Clifford Greenhalgh, former member of RCPsych Carers' Forum
Clifford Greenhalgh, a former member of the College's Carers' Forum, discusses his time as a carer for his wife Freda who suffered from Alzheimer's and the problems that she had during that time. Freda died in January 2009.
Clifford believes that many of the difficulties that Freda experienced could have been alleviated if evidence-based practices had been used.
Involvement in a wide range of older person's mental health organisations has increased Clifford's knowledge of the poor quality of the provision of mental health care for this diverse group. Specific examples are described of what can be done to improve the situation.
The benefits of early diagnosis
Ther is evidence to show that early diagnosis of dementia results in improved outcomes for the service user. These include the optimum treatment being delivered to the service user at the appropriate time.
Sme years before Freda received a diagnosis, I expressed concerns to our GP about her mental health, due to her increasing erratic and violent behaviour and deteriorating memory. The GP said that confidentiality ethics prevented him from raising the matter with her; he could only treat her if she raised the matter herself. Freda at that time did not acknowledge that she had any difficulties. Friends and family became aware of the problem as they observed her abnormal behaviour. The diagnosis of Alzheimer's was eventually made at the local hospital after Freda was admitted for a fractured hip.
An official diagnosis of dementia was not given for two years after I had expressed concerns to our GP about Freda's mental health. Failure to acknowledge the onset of Alzheimer's is probably much more common than the professionals think. I have seen reports that about 5% of people with Alzheimer's are in denial. I doubt the accuracy of this figure and think that it is probably much higher.
It seems obvious to me that if the disease could be observed at the hospital and was being noticed by friends and family, it should have been possible for Freda to have been given a diagnosis. She would have accepted that she had a memory problem. If this term had been used by the GP, I am sure that treatment could have commenced much earlier.
GPs skills in this area need to be improved and ways must be found to reconcile the information given by carers and patient confidentiality. There is a pilot scheme in North East Wales which may help lead to earlier diagnosis. An older person's mental health nurse is attached to a doctor's surgery to provide assistance for the screening and treatment of the early stages of mental illness. This is looking very promising at the present time and may be better at getting people,
who don't acknowledge that they have a mental illness, into the system.
It is generally accepted that the active involvement of a willing and able carer, who knows the person with dementia well, will improve the wellbeing of the person with dementia.
Before the admission to the inpatient ward, I was almost the only person involved with my wife's care, although I had the support of family and friends. As the dementia progressed this became unsustainable and Freda was sectioned and admitted to hospital.
The staff were very extremely caring and skilled in their treatment of Freda. However, I am sure that she would have been happier if I had been able to spend more time in the ward with her personal care and stimulating activities instead of being restricted to very short visiting times.
When Freda moved into a care home, I was very much more involved with her personal care, and mental and physical health. This included the nurses acknowledging my understanding of Freda's very brittle type 1 diabetes. I discussed all the activities Freda and I were planning to do outside the care home with the nurses and I was consulted on all proposed changes to Freda's care plan etc.
As Freda's mental and physical health deteriorated, I was trained how to feed her without choking her, and how to provide some simple physiotherapy to maintain leg movement.
Unfortunately I found that not all the families who visited had a similar involvement. A large number of them seemed to be unable to maintain a meaningful contact, particularly as the dementia increased. Towards the end of her life, Freda who had not spoken in sentences since she had a stroke said, very distinctly, "I always knew you would look after me if I was like this". This was the only time that she acknowledged that she had a mental health problem. This was very emotional and shows that people with advanced dementia, who have no verbal communication, must still be aware of the fact when they are being neglected.
A year after entering the care home, Freda began to have a series of medical problems which resulted in her having treatment at the inpatient medical wards of the local hospital. All these stays were very disturbing and I was very unhappy with the standards of care. The staffing levels and the knowledge within the wards were inadequate to handle the Alzheimer's.
Freda was inappropriately catheterised, left alone in a single room for long periods, and was often very distressed. Initially I was not allowed to have extra time outside visiting time to provide stimulating activities or help with feeding. The situation became so bad that having complained bitterly about the situation, I was allowed to help to care for her in the ward outside visiting time. However Freda's diabetes control was never discussed with me. The insulin programme that had successfully controlled her blood sugar levels for a long time was changed, because it was inconvenient for the ward. The insulin programme was returned to its former model on return to the care home.
It is almost invariably the case that before the service user moves from home, the main carer is a close friend or family member. I do not understand why from the moment the service user moves from home, the existing willing and able carer is often removed from any caring role, particularly in hospital. The carer should be able to retain as much involvement
as they wish to and are able to provide. The routine should be arranged so as to allow the carer to continue to have a meaningful one-to-one relationship with the service user. This is comparable to the position of the parents of a young child in a similar position. If this principle is not used from the start of the disease it is very difficult to establish it later. Carers must be trained in the changing requirements of the service user as the dementia progresses and be accepted as part of the mental health team.
A great many studies have shown that one-to-one activities greatly enhance the quality of life for the person with dementia. This is true from diagnosis until death.
As soon as I suspected that Freda was having problems with her mental health - years before she received an official diagnosis - I organised our lives so that we could do more activities together. Left to herself she quickly became bored and difficult to live with. When Freda eventually received a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, she had regular appointments with the older person's psychiatrist at the local hospital. My presence was always accepted at these, both by Freda and the psychiatrist. Freda readily accepted the suggestions we were given at these visits to improve her memory and she enjoyed doing them. They became part of our lifestyle.
Freda enjoyed this lifestyle at home until a crisis in the Alzheimer's made it impossible for her to continue to stay at home and she was sectioned into the local hospital.
The ward was very short staffed and did not have anyone available to carry out activities. The staff did however have a good relationship with the patients and communicated well, but they had insufficient time to give mental stimulation except very briefly during their general nursing duties. I tried to continue as many of the activities we had done at home, but I was restricted to very short visiting times. We often sang together in Freda's bedroom. Sometimes other patients in the ward came to join in and appreciated the activity very much.
Freda entered the care home in February 2004. Stimulating activities again came to be part of Freda's everyday life. Our daughter Carol would visit about once a week and take her mother out. I would visit on all the other days. We visited all the garden centres for about 25 mile radius and had lunch in country pubs and cafes. I took Freda to church services on Sunday mornings.
Our favourite place was a training and work experience centre for mentally and physically handicapped young adults. We had lunch, played on the putting green and were treated in a very understanding way by the staff.
We attended a wedding in our local Church. The care home staff were superb, getting Freda ready for the wedding. She had a special hair do and was beautifully dressed in a maroon two piece suit, with everything, including her finger nails colour co-ordinated.
As Freda's mental and medical health deteriorated, we had to alter our activities. We spent more time inside the care home, with other residents. We joined in organised activities, such as painting, physical exercises, baking, and making decorations. Freda needed a lot of help, but she enjoyed them. We carried on our games, puzzles and singing, on a one-to -one basis.
As Freda's health further declined, stimulation became part of her personal care. Freda lost the use of both feet and was confined to a chair. A physiotherapist visited weekly, moving all Freda's joints to ensure that Freda's limbs did not stop working. The physiotherapist instructed me on exercises that I could do with Freda daily. This was very successful; Freda enjoyed the exercise and the associated games of counting and singing for the remainder of her life.
Although a small number of activities were organised for residents in the early stages of dementia in the care home, the more severely ill residents were bored and spent a large part of their day sleeping. I raised my concerns with the care home manager and mentioned the lack of stimulation for severely ill residents to a care home inspector. The inspector told me that I did not understand that this behaviour was part of the dementia. I know from observation and experience that this is it is not always the case. Suitable activities can be appreciated by care home residents up to the point of death.
The situation in the inpatient ward where Freda was first admitted with Alzheimer's has improved significantly over recent years. Specialist staff are now employed to provide therapeutic activities and they have access to appropriate equipment.
However, although lip service is given to providing stimulating activities throughout the course of a dementia, in practice it is a much neglected area - it is always the first service to be cut when cost savings are made.
Willing existing carers and suitable volunteers should be encouraged, trained and used to provide one-to-one activities for
people with dementia in addition to professional trained staff. All staff in contact with service users at home, hospital or care home must understand that their duties do not just consist of dressing, washing, toileting and giving medication. Meaningful communication and stimulation should be in everyone's job specification. Care homes should not just provide Bingo and entertainment for the people in the early stages of dementia but ensure that all their residents receive suitable activities up to the point of death. This may be merely holding or stroking the hand of a dementia patient near the end of life.
Good quality, affordable residential care is essential in the wellbeing of all older persons who are no longer able to live in their own homes for a variety of reasons.
Care homes in general, with a few notable exceptions, do not provide acceptable care for their residents. The staff are often badly paid, inadequately trained and have a low status. This results in a very high turnover. The culture from the management is often to consider the staff are only employed to dress, wash, toilet and feed the residents. The holistic approach, that everyone in the care home should considered to part of a team to improve the wellbeing of the residents, is not thought to be important. If the actions within a care home are not measured at an inspection visit, they are not done. Specialist homes e.g. EMI Nursing, are often a long way from families. Families often believe that they are not getting value for the fees that are charged.
As soon as possible after a resident arrives, the carer who has been looking after the person previously, or a family member who feels most responsibility for the resident, should be encouraged to have an unhurried informal meeting with the manager of the care home. The resident should be present if they wish to be and they have sufficient mental capacity to understand what is happening. At this meeting the resident's life story and their future needs should be discussed, this is in addition to any life story, or care plan that is written down. How the carer or family member can be involved if possible and desired must be considered.
The most important element within a care home is the interaction between the staff and its residents. In order to recruit and retain suitable staff, it is essential that the status of these employees is improved. Minimum pay and poor working conditions are not conducive to having good quality staff. Training of staff in all aspects of care must be a priority. The management must have a culture that care is not just providing the essentials to keep a resident alive, but also maintaining as high quality of life as possible. Meaningful continual interaction between the care worker and the resident, in addition to any organised activities, is essential.
A large number of care homes that are not E.M.I. registered have residents who have dementia. This is inevitable as residents develop the disease during their stay. A start must be made so that eventually all care homes are suitable to be registered as EMI and all staff are trained in dementia. This will have the advantage of having many more care homes within the reach of persons entering with dementia. These residents can then live in care homes that are closer to their families.
Care home inspections must be used much more than at present to improve standards. They must take place without prior notice. If large numbers of residents are found to be asleep, bored or inactive, the situation must be investigated, to see if suitable stimulation or inappropriate levels of medication is being given to residents.
Activities that are on notice boards and specimen menus must be questioned to find out what happens in practice. Financial penalties must be an option if all attempts by the inspector to get an improvement have failed.
Procedures must be put in place that enable care homes which, in spite of these measures, still continue to be of an unacceptable standard. Care homes which are placed under new management should not move residents. Moving residents with severe dementia to unfamiliar surroundings is known to cause distress and possibly early death. This must happen only after all possible alternatives have been exhausted.
Many of the problems arising in care homes arise through financial constraints. Some care homes do make large profits but many are in financial difficulties. Good quality care is expensive to provide. To retain the standard at the present unsatisfactory level is not an option, even in these economically difficult times. All methods to increase funding into the area must be considered.
Older people's mental health problems differ in many ways than those working age adults. As we get older, there are many changes in our lives. These include social changes, reduction in income, loss of status, death of friends and family members. There is an increasing possibility of dementia which may co-exist with other mental and physical illnesses. The interaction between physical and mental health is very complex.
About two years after Freda's entry into the care home and several stays in the local hospital for medical treatment, I received notification of a new group of service users and carers based in the local hospital, concerned with older person's mental health.
I was informed that it was not a support group but would be directly involved in all the appropriate areas of the hospital. This was the LOTUS group (Listening Openly To Users of Services). Over the years I have become increasingly involved with the activities of this group. The group has representatives on all the major relevant committees of the Betsi Cadwaladr University Local Heath Board, Wrexham and Flintshire. It also has members on the selection panels for all appointments concerned with older person's mental health. Membership of this group has lead to my involvement on a variety of national organisations. This wider experience has revealed that dementia, my original interest, is not the only area of older person's mental health where practises that have been rigorously tested and shown to be effective are not being applied.
It is easily demonstrated that the wellbeing of people with dementia, depression or other mental illness, is greatly improved if they live in a neighbourhood that is aware of their problems and involves them as far as possible.
People with mental illnesses are often excluded from participating within the general community because of a lack of knowledge as to how things can be adapted to enable these people to take part. Society is often so risk adverse that these individuals are prevented from taking part in everyday affairs.
The present culture must change. This required change can only be accomplished by education, publicity and example. The whole of society and not just the medical profession must be included. Churches and all kind of social groups can help. This involvement by the community does work.
Examples of the local community being involved
Mental health in general should have a proportion of the general health financial plan according to the needs of the service users. Within the mental health budget, older people should also have a share in proportion to their needs.
Ageism must stop in practice, not just in theory. Older person's mental health liaison teams can be shown to improve outcomes for service users to assist and train medical ward staff and GPs.
Older people have problems with their mental health which are different and more complex than the rest of the population. Historically they have been badly served in the provision of services. We are all living longer and this problem will increase over the coming years. There are a great many known and effective evidence-based practices which could easily be implemented. It is important that efforts are made to change the culture of the population in general and funding is provided to enable more of the proven practices to be implemented."

- - could she foal soon? **update - tragedy**
could she foal soon? **update - tragedy** My mare had been quite the loner today, standing away from the herd. She wasnt "due" until March 21 though, so I'm a little concerned. She is a maiden so I do not know how she carries. Her vulva is stretched, her uscles around her tail are somewhat relaxed and squishy, but she doesn't have much udder development. I can get about 4-5 drops, I tried today so I could attempt to test her. Her milk is quite clear, too. She also didn't eat her food tonight and seemed somewhat lethargic and I could see and feel her foal moving a good bit inside. I didn't think she would foal, especially judging by her udder, but I did read that some mares, especially maidens, may not get much until right before or shortly after foaling. Her temperature was 99.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Her vagina was also somewhat darker than my other mare who isn't bred, and her vuvla was about 1 to 2 inches longer than my other mares as well. She has been quite large throughout her pregnancy as well. I will get some pictures and post as soon as I get them. |
Use the calculator for number of days in foal. Input the last day your mare was covered and then today's date. If she has reached 320 days, she is in the "safe zone" for foaling. Due dates are a complete guess, most mares foal on time foals anywhere from 320 days to 365 days Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic - Calculators |

Golden Boy Promotions super-welterweight contender, Erislandy Lara (17-1-1, 11 KOs) ranked No. 1 in the WBC, and his team are preparing for war as they get ready for their upcoming title elimination bout against WBC No. 2 rated, Vanes Martirosyan (30-0, 20 KOs).
Team Lara is training in Houston, Texas, where his trainer Ronnie Shields is putting together a superb game plan to face the undefeated Top Rank fighter.
"Lara is looking sharp right now and he's going to make a statement when he steps in the ring with Vanes," said Shields, who has trained Martirosyan in the past and knows him very well. "Although I think Vanes is a good fighter, Lara is on another level. We are working hard and it will show on fight night"
After defeating Freddy Hernandez (30-3, 20 KOs) and Ronald Hearns (26-3, 20 KOs) in his last two fights, Lara feels his relationship with Shields is growing stronger every day.
"I have a ton of respect for my team because they give me all the right advice to be successful," stated Lara. "The trust we have for one another makes for a great partnership. They know how bad I wanted this fight. Martirosyan doesn't know what he's got himself into and I will punish him on fight night."
"My strength and conditioning coach, Edward "Jack" Jackson, has got me in tip top shape and Ronnie Shields with assistant coach Hylon Williams Sr. are doing their part as well to make sure I'm 100% ready for this fight. I'm happy with my team and together we are unstoppable."
Erislandy and Vanes are fighting each other on a Top Rank card who won the purse bid to promote the fight, which takes place at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 10, 2012. This will be the first time in two years that these two heated rivals will have their fighters facing off against one another. The fight will be televised by HBO.
"Lara is in top physical and mental form for this fight. He is the best Jr. Middleweight in the world and he'll keep proving it fight by fight," said manager Luis DeCubas Jr. "We will make a statement on HBO November 10th!"

The original Austin Healey 3000 Mark III was probably the last of the big. hairy-chested British sports cars. combining old-world craftsmanship with a (relatively) big engine. Today they're some of the most highly-sought collectables of the period. so if the big price tag gets you down. perhaps a replica like this is the right choice. It's got the look. the power. and the presence. all at a price that's 1/3 that of an original.
Yes. admittedly. this is a fiberglass replica. but like the Cobra replicas. sometimes the best car to own is one that doesn't have a bunch of history tied to it. The body is new. the running gear is new. the chassis is new. and. well. you get the picture. The shape is unmistakable. with the familiar Healey grille up front and weeping fender lines that aren't altogether unlike that of the Cobra. It's nicely finished in two-tone Wildfire Red and Silver. GM colors that look great together and add to the traditional image. The fenders are a bit more aggressively flared than the original. but it only seems to enhance the big Healey's look. and even though it was built a few years ago. it's still in great shape. Finish quality is quite good. with doors that fit well and a louvered hood that sits flush with the fenders. and they captured most of the original details. including the bright fender welting between the fenders and the body. the proper emblems on the trunk lid. and bright chrome bumpers that really sparkle.
Interiors are where British cars shine brightest. and this car pays homage to that hand-crafted look with tan leather buckets and a nicely stitched interior. The seats are comfortable but not confining and the leather is just now rounding into that well-loved condition that makes cars like this so appealing. Plush carpets. simple door panels. and a wooden dashboard are additional ties to the Healey process. VDO gauges look suitably old-school and you'll note that their labels are quite British: Petrol. Dynamo. and Water Temperature. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo system isn't quite like the old systems. but it sounds a lot better and you'll appreciate it more when you're cruising with the top down. There's also a tilt steering column. an effective heater. and a nicely integrated shifter for the 3-speed automatic transmission. A roll bar behind the seats adds stiffness and doesn't interfere with the tan convertible top's operation and you get a decent-sized trunk that's upholstered to match the interior carpets.
A 350 cubic inch Chevy is a far cry from an original inline-six. but a comparison to the Cobra is inevitable when you pop the hood. It's a neat fit in the Healey's nose and offers things like an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. a few chrome dress-up pieces. and niceties such as power steering and power front disc brakes. Rebuilt about 10. 00 miles ago. it's plenty strong out on the road. especially with the light curb weight. and this is one British car where bulletproof reliability is part of the equation. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission feeds a Ford 8-inch rear end and the suspension is Mustang: Mustang II up front and Fox platform in back. Dual exhaust rumbles in a most un-British way. but you'll love the sound. and those big. flashy American Racing wheels look awesome with fat performance radials wrapped around them.
Nothing but fun on wheels. this cool Healey roadster is a great way to get some open-air V8 fun for not a lot of cash. Call today!

"The involuntary surrealist," Juan Orol was the king of B-movie schlock throughout the golden age of Mexican cinema. Born in Spain, he tried his hand at bullfighting in Cuba before accidentally stumbling into the film biz in Mexico. With films so terrible even Ed Wood would be jealous, Orol made his name with shoddy gangster films starring his many muses and wives. A clever camp homage to Orol, this film playfully explores the filmmaker's cult legacy, including visuals that deftly evoke the vintage stock of bygone eras, and the budget aesthetic of its subject. Best First Feature, 2012 Guadalajara Film Festival.
DIR/SCR Sebastián del Amo; SCR Raúl Fernández; PROD Alejandro Blázquez, Carmen Ortega. Mexico, 2011, b&w and color, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. NOT RATED

Increasing pressures on wild populations of elephants and rhinos are having a devastating effect on their numbers. Human/wildlife conflicts, loss of habitat and poaching for the illegal wildlife trade in elephant tusks and rhino horn are all contributing factors in the rapid decline of wild populations. Through the ongoing work of zoos, scientific and field research, and massive efforts to stem the illegal wildlife trade, there is increasing hope for wild populations, but it is an ongoing effort. |

Australian born Natasha Anderson came to Zimbabwe in 1996 as a volunteer worker after completing a Master of Environmental Studies degree at the University of Melbourne. She has been based in the South East Lowveld throughout her sixteen years in Zimbabwe. Her initial work focused on natural resource management and education projects in the Maranda Communal Lands working under the Mwenezi Rural District Council. Post 2000 she became involved with the Lowveld Rhino Trust (LRT) when she offered some of her spare time to help with monitoring rhinos – especially those sharing their range with newly settled farmers in the Bubiana Conservancy. Over time she developed opportunities to mesh her interest in education with rhino conservation and under the Southern Africa Development Community Regional Program for Rhino Conservation, developed education support materials called the Rhino Cards. These materials form the foundation of LRTs current education program, which Natasha helps manage along with her monitoring work on a much expanded population of rhinos in Bubye and Save Valley Conservancies. |
As a Wildlife Biologist, Udayan Borthakur, is the Head of Wildlife Genetics Programme at Aaranyak, a society for biodiversity conservation in northeast India (www.aaranyak.org). He has studied population genetics of various mammals, including the Greater One-horned Rhino in India and the Javan and Sumatran Rhino in Indonesia. One of his primary rhino projects is the genetic census of the Greater One-horned Rhino in Gorumara National Park, West Bengal, India. As part of a groundbreaking genetics project undertaken by Aaranyak with financial support from Asian Rhino Project, Australia, Udayan used dung DNA analysis based techniques to determine the minimum number of rhinos present in Gorumara and to understand the contemporary extent of genetic diversity in the population. In addition he has also been involved with studies on the population genetics of the Royal Tiger of India, the ecology and distribution of various bird species and reconstructing molecular phylogenies of Himalayan birds. He is also an accomplished and renowned wildlife photographer. |

Sean Hensman works for Elephants for Africa Forever (EFAF) and is the manager at Adventures With Elephants (AWE) based in Bela Bela, Limpopo, South Africa. He received his honours in Tourism and Leisure with Business Management from Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, UK where his aim was to develop a tourism product that would promote both educational values as well as conservation values in a holistic manner. After travelling for a while Sean returned to EFAF in 2007 where he began to get more involved with the elephant operations that his father Rory Hensman had established back in 1988, he worked his way through the ranks and now manages the operation. Sean has always believed that there are many things to learn from elephants and has actively pursued research in various fields from the uses of elephants as bio-detectors (for tracking criminals to finding landmines and drugs) to communication and Human Elephant Conflict Resolutions. His facilities offer hands-on educational elephant interactions, safaris, swims on elephants, corporate events, films, photography and many other elephant related activities. Sean is a keen outdoorsman and sees himself as a holistic conservationist who tries to understand all aspects that face wildlife conservationists in an ever changing Africa, after all we all want our grandchildren to experience nature in its beauty, but we all have different ways of getting to that point. He currently resides at Adventures With Elephants in Bela Bela with his girlfriend Jenna, his dog Lisa, his meerkats Trouble and Timone and his six wonderful elephants Chova, Chishuru, Moya, Mussina, Shan and Nuanedi. He can be contacted through www.adventureswithelephants.co.za or email@example.com. |
Thomas Hildebrandt has worked at the Institute for Zoo Biology and Wildlife Research in Berlin since 1987. In 1997 as head of the Department of Reproduction Management he was responsible for the development and establishment of the future direction of this new research segment at IZW. The combination of basic and applied reproductive science in non-domestic species was responsible for the national and international success of his team reflected by over 20 field projects and intensive collaborations with over 60 zoological institutions (A fertile mind on Wildlife Conservation's front lines (2001), Science 294, 1271-1272). The research focuses on the mechanisms of evolved reproductive strategies and the development and application of new assisted reproduction technologies for propagation or control in selected species. His expertise in reproduction biology and pathology in elephants and rhinoceros is recognized worldwide. His development of a non-surgical AI technique in elephants was a key innovation that made artificial insemination successful in the species. It culminated in the successful insemination of 6 African and 1 Asian elephants over the last three years. |

Easter recipe: Good-bye candy, hello cardio
March 27, 2013
Technically, Easter is known as the last really big blow-out food holiday until The Fourth of July (Memorial Day could qualify if our Truckee-Tahoe weather allows for barbecues. Actually, the same can be said for the Fourth).
It is unfortunate, but while the Easter candy is saying "Go to town!" the Ross ads bombarding us on TV are indicating swimsuit season is just around the corner and saying "Go to the gym!"
You know that Kohl's woman wearing the white Capri pants and dancing around with her shopping bags? I'd like to tell her where to go. What has she got in those bags to make her so happy?
Maybe Easter candy (doubtful) or maybe these incredible gooey, lemon, hot cross buns I was recently turned on to. Again, doubtful. Who cares? I wouldn't invite her to my last really big blow out food holiday Easter brunch anyway.
Gooey Lemon Hot Cross Buns
1 envelope (0.25 ounces, or 2 1/2 teaspoons) yeast
3/4 cup milk, warmed, but not hot on your wrist (think back to your baby bottle days).
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very soft
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 lemons, zested
2 eggs
Gooey Lemon and Currant Filling
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 lemons, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
1/4 cup of currants to sprinkle on lemon filling
Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup powdered sugar
1 lemon, zested
The Cross
1 tube prepared white icing
In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warmed milk and let it sit for a couple minutes. Stir in the softened butter, sugar, vanilla, and one cup of the flour. Stir in the salt, nutmeg, and lemon zest. Stir in the eggs and enough of the remaining flour to make a soft, yet sticky, dough.
Knead by hand for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is elastic and pliable.
Spray the top of the dough with vegetable oil, and turn the dough over so it is coated in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel and let the dough rise until nearly doubled — about an hour.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the nutmeg and ginger, then work in the lemon zest with the tips of your fingers until the sugar resembles wet, soft sand. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon. Reserve the juice of the second lemon for the glaze.
Lightly grease a 13×9 inch baking dish with baking spray or butter. On a floured surface, pat the dough out into a large yet still thick rectangle — about 10×15 inches. Spread evenly with the softened butter, then pour and spread the lemon-sugar mixture over top.
Sprinkle with currants. Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the top long end. Cut the long dough roll into 12 even rolls, and place them, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for an hour or until puffy and nearly doubled.
You can also refrigerate the rolls at this point. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to bake the rolls, remove the pan from the fridge, and let them rise for an hour.
Heat the oven to 350°. Place the risen rolls in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into a center roll reads 190°. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small food processor (or with a mixer, or a sturdy whisk), whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add the lemon juice and blend until well combined. Add the powdered sugar and blend until smooth and creamy. When the rolls are done, smear them with the cream cheese glaze, and sprinkle the zest of 1 additional lemon over top to garnish. Use your white tube of frosting to apply the crosses. Serve while warm.
