Jackson Family, Stars Bid Farewell
Speakers at Service Range From Daughter to Brooke Shields and Berry Gordy Jr.
LOS ANGELES -- Michael Jackson was memorialized Tuesday at a crowded, choreographed and star-studded service broadcast around the world.
The nearly three-hour service at the Staples Center downtown capped almost two weeks of tributes since the performer's unexpected death at age 50 on June 25, as he prepared for a series of concerts.
The speakers and performers spanned Mr. Jackson's professional and personal lives, from Motown Records founder Berry Gordy Jr., who first met Mr. Jackson 40 years ago, to Kenny Ortega, who had been choreographing the singer's planned London concerts this month. Several revealed a side of the performer the public never saw.
"Both of us needed to be adults very early," said actress Brooke Shields, who first met Mr. Jackson when she was 13, "but when we were together, we were two little kids having fun."
Toward the end of the service, Mr. Jackson's 11-year-old daughter, Paris Katherine Jackson, said: "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine, and I just wanted to say I love him so much."

The memorial service required negotiations between the Jackson family, the concert promoter AEG Live and the Los Angeles Police Department, which cordoned off a large swath of downtown Los Angeles for the occasion.
The day began with a private memorial service in Forest Lawn cemetery. The family and close associates then traveled in a convoy of black cars under police escort to the arena, where tens of thousands of fans had been clustered since early in the morning.
The estimated cost for the city of such a massive event was about $4 million. On Tuesday afternoon, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa urged fans to make donations to help defray the cost. However, the influx also provided a boost to local business.

Karen LuKanic, who runs a coffee shop across from the arena, said, "It's kind of like a hockey game and a concert at the same time." She said she had 40 people on staff, twice the usual amount, and opened an hour and a half early.
Outside the arena, the atmosphere resembled a rock concert more than it did a memorial service. Teresa Espinosa and two friends came dressed in Michael Jackson outfits after scoring a trio of tickets on the Web site Craigslist for $50 each.
Patricia Basler flew in from New York because she smelled opportunity. She was selling hand-painted animated frames from the 1970s-era Jackson 5 animated television show that she had acquired from her father-in-law, an animator for the show. She was selling a cel with the original background with all five Jacksons for $300.
Thierry Marceau, a Michael Jackson impersonator performing outside the arena, said his own career had taken off suddenly after the singer's death. When he began dressing and acting like the pop singer two years ago, interest in his act was tepid. Back then, he said, "Michael Jackson was kind of ended."
But on Tuesday morning, Mr. Marceau, who flew to Los Angeles from Montreal last week to visit Neverland and other Jackson-related sites, was mobbed by fans almost as intensely as if he was the real thing.
Inside, the list of speakers offered a testament to the breadth of the singer's influence. The children of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about how kind Mr. Jackson had been to their late mother after she suffered a debilitating stroke.
Basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson said: "I want to thank Michael for opening up so many doors for African-Americans."
There were a few oblique references to the troubles that dogged Mr. Jackson during his later years, such as his criminal trial for child molestation that ended in acquittal, and his frequent recourse to plastic surgery.
His brother Marlon Jackson, at the close of the service, said: "Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone."

21 Jump Street Trailer: Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill Will School You
2012: the year of Channing Tatum.
If 2011 belonged to super-prolific movie stars like Natalie Portman, Justin Timberlake, and Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum will have them all beat come next year. He's already got a whopping six movies on tap for 2012: the double-dip day of Magic Mike and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, his romantic weepie The Vow, the low-budget indie Ten Year, a supporting role in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire, and the big-screen wink-wink reboot of 21 Jump Street. It's the latter we've come to discuss today, as a red-band trailer for 21 Jump Street has debuted on Facebook, casting Tatum and an intermediately slimmed Jonah Hill as less-than-ideal cops who go undercover at a high school to bust Dave Franco's drug ring. It looks pretty funny! Channing Tatum does the worm and flusters Ellie Kemper with his pecs! Jonah Hill cusses in an intellectual, improvisatory fashion! No Johnny Depp cameo yet, but sit tight and it's sure to come.

This summer, I have been given the exciting opportunity to volunteer for a wonderful registered non-profit called Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO). For three weeks in June and July, I will be traveling to Kibera, Kenya to work at SHOFCO's all girls school and take part in a larger program focused on curriculum development for expanding grades. Shining Hope was founded at Wesleyan in 2007 by my good friend Kennedy, and at Wesleyan, I am on the executive committee of the organization.
During my time at Wesleyan, both in my classes and through my participation in SHOFCO, I have come to understand the true value of educating women in low income communities and have also become passionate about educating those around me about the benefits of cultivating a community ethos that makes women respected members of society.
Since its founding just a few short years ago, SHOFCO has developed an innovative, community-driven model to combat inter-generational cycles of poverty and gender inequality. This model is centered on a number of community programs, including an all girls school, community center, health clinic, library, and access point for clean water. Through these programs, SHOFCO helps to address severe local deficits in health care, education, sanitation, nutrition, and computer/literacy training. By investing in health and economic success through a school for girls, SHOFCO demonstrates that educating women benefits the whole community. The future of women in Kibera and similarly impoverished and patriarchal environments depends on concrete, integrated links between education and community elevation, and this is SHOFCO's mission.
Before I travel to Kenya this summer, I have a personal goal of raising at least $1,000 for Shining Hope's projects and I need your help! I would be endlessly grateful if you would consider helping me reach my goal by donating on this page! I am happy to answer any questions you may have about my work with Shining Hope either by phone (607-342-5642) or email and if you are interested, I can also help you figure out how start a chapter or throw a fundraiser in your hometown.
The Team: $850 TOTAL RAISED SO FAR

Women use lines all the time at Shooter`s of Boynton Beach, but the ones Barbara Bailey recited Sunday silenced a room.
Bailey, a 43-year-old mother of teen-agers, was one of 35 amateur poets who sequestered themselves into a room here to recite the meaning of life -- as young women in bathing suits walked by to the bar and rock music pounded mutely in the background.
``We are thinkers, deliberating weighty matters. We are feelers, discerning in our responses,`` Bailey began in this swinging nightclub for young adults on U.S. 1.
She was scared.
``It`s scary because you`re baring your soul. You`re putting your guts out to the universe,`` said Bailey, a calligrapher from Fort Lauderdale. ``I`ve done a lot of public speaking, but when it`s my turn to read, my mouth turns dry.``
Eden Arin, a former model and photographer dressed in a purplish gauze that matched her eye makeup and jewelry, said she wasn`t scared. She has recited at art galleries and placed 15th in a national Writer`s Digest writing contest.
The hard part: writing.
``It`s like being pregnant. You feel something bothering you, germinating in you,`` Arin, of West Palm Beach, said of the agonizing process. ``If I lost a poem and couldn`t remember it, it would be like losing a piece of me. They`re like my children.``
Arin is a member of the 1-month-old Poets of the Palm Beaches, a poetry group that is an offshoot of Poets in the Pub, a group that met and shared notes in bars. The new group meets the second Sunday of each month and will begin meeting permanently at Pizza Patio, 4442 Forest Hills Blvd., West Palm Beach, next month.
Membership is $10 a year. Interested people can call Bruce Weber of the Norton Gallery, 832-5194, for more information.

San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) June 20, 2012
Herstein said, "The regulation of investment advisers long has been the shared responsibility of state and federal securities regulators. Chairman Bachus believes a self-regulatory organization for investment advisers is necessary because the federal government has not provided proper oversight over larger advisers, but his bill also would require state-registered advisers to become members of his new SRO. The creation of an SRO for state-regulated investment advisers is a misguided solution to a problem that does not exist."
The Investment Adviser Oversight Act (dubbed the SRO bill) would require that every investment adviser become a member of an SRO which would be overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Typically investment advisers that manage less than $90 million are regulated by the states with those that manage $90 million or more regulated by the SEC.
The NASAA voiced concern that the SRO bill would infringe on state's rights. "There has never been any evidence to suggest that states have failed in their mission of regulating smaller investment advisers. Nonetheless, this bill dictates how each state should regulate smaller advisers and requires state-regulated advisers to join a national SRO. The Bachus bill is an astonishing attack on our system of federalism with no demonstrated justification," said Herstein.
Any SRO would have to demonstrate that it has the capacity to ensure compliance with federal and state securities laws as well as any rules and regulations that are established by the SRO. An SRO would also have to be capable of performing periodic examinations if the state where an investment adviser maintains its principal place of business doesn't conduct an examination at least every four years.
In addition, an SRO would be required to establish a membership process along with membership rules and regulations, institute a registration process for persons associated with members, create supervisory systems, and put disciplinary processes in place.
The SRO bill also addressed the composition of the Board of Directors of any SRO, membership dues and minimum interactions with federal and state regulatory authorities.
Recently the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on the SRO bill. During the hearing the SEC's examination of less than 10% of the firms they regulate each year, and the Ponzi schemes that have come to light in recent years were cited as reasons for the SRO bill.
Opponents of the SRO bill cited the costs of setting up and operating an SRO (which would be passed on to its members), the negative impact of adding an additional layer of regulation on jobs, and the steep learning curve for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. (if chosen to be the SRO that supervises investment advisers), because of lack of experience in promoting and enforcing the fiduciary standard.
The backlash prompted Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), to suggest that she would draft legislation to create a user fee program to fund an increase in the number of examinations the SEC can conduct each year.

By: Jeremy Alford – Capitol Correspondent – dailycomet.com
BATON ROUGE — From new federal programs for aquaculture to an upstart business model for oyster harvesters and surprising data on imported catfish, there was no shortage of gains this week for commercial seafood interests.
For starters, small aquaculture businesses — oysters, crawfish and the like — are now eligible for special loans from the federal government.
More specifically, portions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 are going on the books, including an Economic Injury Disaster Loan program known as EIDL.
In the 1980s, Congress repealed Small Business Administration disaster assistance for all agricultural businesses.
SBA was prohibited from providing assistance to these industries as it was assumed that they would always be covered by other federal agencies like the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
However, recent Gulf Coast disasters have demonstrated gaps between USDA and SBA disaster assistance, said Sen. Mary Landrieu, a New Orleans Democrat who chairs the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
For example, in 2005 south Louisiana was hit hard by both hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Aquaculture businesses, meaning many crawfish farmers or those with fish farms, were ineligible for both USDA disaster assistance and SBA disaster loans.
More recently, oyster farmers were ineligible for the EIDL program following the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
"Disasters can and will strike at any moment," Landrieu said. "We must ensure that the federal government is better prepared and has the tools necessary to respond quickly and effectively following a disaster."
She added that this "common-sense fix," included in the jobs act bill, will clear up federal law to now give small aquaculture businesses a lifeline if they are hit by a disaster.
"Never again will they be told they are 'too agricultural' for SBA and 'not agricultural enough' for USDA," Landrieu said. "Louisiana businesses know too well the bureaucracies that stand in the way when disaster strikes, and this clarification puts the SBA in a better position to support them in the future."
In related aquaculture news, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries unveiled a new oyster farming initiative Wednesday that is flourishing in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
A collaboration between researchers from Louisiana State University and Auburn University, it focuses on off-bottom oyster culture to supplement the traditional harvest.
Historically, oysters are grown on and harvested from reefs on the water bottom. In this new process, oysters are grown suspended in the water column.
Benefits of this new oyster farming technique include increased productivity, job creation and continued production of a safe, sustainable domestic oyster supply, according to John Supan, an oyster specialist with Louisiana Sea Grant and LSU AgCenter, and Bill Walton, Auburn University aquaculture and fisheries specialist.
Off-bottom culture also protects oysters from predators, provides a means to reduce fouling and allows complete harvests of planted oyster seed, a major advantage over traditional oyster harvesting.
LDWF's Fisheries Research Laboratory in Grand Isle provides research and hatchery space to researchers from the Louisiana Sea Grant program.
Department officials are also working with local officials in Plaquemines Parish to develop plans for a facility, which would provide space for oyster spat to develop before they are utilized by industry.
"This could be an important addition to a traditional coastal industry," Walton said. "It's clean, green and energy efficient. And it provides business opportunities to those already in the oyster industry as well as other coastal residents."
A series of workshops are being planned for 2011 and 2012. They will address issues such as appropriate culture systems, oyster seed stock, growing market-quality oysters and developing practices and regulations in collaboration with state agencies.
Finally, there's new data out this week on the safety of seafood from overseas.
According to an investigation broadcast by the NBC Today Show Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's inspection system for imported seafood is so weak that many Americans are eating foreign catfish and other seafood tainted with chemicals that could cause cancer, birth defects and other serious health problems.
NBC aired video showing "dirty sewage water used to raise seafood in Vietnam — the fish pumped with toxic antibiotics and banned drugs just to keep them alive, boosting production and driving down costs."
It also reported that although 80 percent of the fish consumed in America is raised overseas, the FDA inspects only two percent of all imports.
The U.S. Congress approved legislation almost 2 1/2 years ago that would provide much greater protection for American consumers by shifting inspection and regulation of catfish from the FDA to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has more stringent inspection and safety programs.
The Obama administration has yet to enforce the new protections.
"The administration's refusal to act is all the more shocking because of President Obama's repeated claims that consumer safety is one of the highest priorities of his administration," said Joey Lowery, president of the Catfish Farmers of America. "The U.S. catfish industry welcomes these tougher standards and protections which would apply to all catfish — domestic and foreign."
Regional seafood groups like the Southern Shrimp Alliance and the Louisiana Shrimp Association have long sought stricter testing and regulation of foreign, farm-raised shrimp.

Design 1197 - Windbourne II
The more I study this design the more I am impressed. I could be perfectly happy with this for a cruising boat. Windbourne II was built by Paul Molich of Denmark, a top notch builder. She is constructed of wood and launched in 1956.
Here are a couple of magazine reviews. Please double click for zoom.
Here are the plans.
And some detailed images, both inside and out.

I like this boat!ReplyDelete
a striking feature for me is the sprayhoood: I have not seen many on units from the 1950s and this one is very nice and fairly discreet. For some reason I was completely oblivious to the wide beam and deep draught before reading the Yachting World article, which is also right to point them out as desirable for British waters.
Very elegant design I say.

MCMINNVILLE, OR--(Marketwired - March 23, 2016) -
Those that follow sales and use tax laws closely are aware that Louisiana recently passed significant changes affecting the application of sales and use tax. These changes go into effect April 1, 2016. While the Department of Revenue is working diligently to release more information to the public, there is a wealth of information already available through the Louisiana State Legislature's website. The following link provides direct access to the various acts that impact all taxes in Louisiana, not just sales and use tax:
Like all states, Louisiana has a specific way that sales and use tax applies to taxpayers in the state. Most notable about Louisiana's state-level sales and use tax is that it is actually three (3) separately imposed taxes. In short, Louisiana imposes a 2% tax under a statute numbered 47:302, and two (2) additional 1% taxes that are found in statutes 47:321 and 47:331. Collectively, these three (3) taxes are thought of as Louisiana's state-level sales tax of 4%.
The significance of these three (3) taxes was less important prior to April 1, 2016. More specifically, prior to April 1, 2016, these three (3) taxes were uniformly applied to transactions in the state. In short, any transaction taxable under one of these three (3) taxes was taxable under all of these three (3) taxes.
This changes as of April 1, 2016. In addition, a new 1% state-level sales tax has been added, bringing the total number of state imposed sales and use taxes to four (4), resulting in a total combined rate of 5%.
New Rules and a New State Tax of 1%
Passed under Louisiana's First 2016 Extraordinary Session, several acts were signed into law on March 14, 2016. Two of those acts -- Act 25 and Act 26 -- broadly impact sales and use tax. Of particular interest to taxpayers is that the four (4) state-level sales and use taxes will not apply uniformly to transactions after April 1, 2016. Here is a high-level breakdown:
Notable Manufacturing Industry Changes
Purchases of manufacturing machinery and equipment are among the more impacted transactions. Beginning April 1, 2016, purchases of manufacturing machinery and equipment are:
TTR is a subscription-based tax research system. Over 2,300 U.S. companies subscribe to TTR for tax research, tax answers, and tax rates. TTR is unique because it contains thousands of already-researched tax answers, thereby saving tax professionals countless hours of research.
TTR has reviewed over 100,000 individual products and services that fall within the four (4) state-level taxes in Louisiana. Nearly 50% of these 100,000 products and services will see a tax change on April 1, 2016, meaning that the answer will change from "exempt" to "taxable." Further, many of these answers will change again in July, 2016. Notifications of these answer changes in Louisiana will arrive in the inboxes of TTR subscribers -- already updated and researched -- on April 1, 2016, July 1, 2016, and on July 1, 2018.

In 2011, at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, Ticket Cake decided to step out of their office and into the spotlight for the first time. It was the start of a three year journey that took them to new heights and crucial milestones along the way.
In a very bittersweet moment though, Ticket Cake recently decided that it was time end their journey and shut down day to day operations. It was hard for the team to be overly-upset though because they shared amazing memories that are worth celebrating.
Founders Jacqueline Jensen, Joe Henriod, and Dylan Jorgensen started Ticket Cake in a 4 car garage that was converted into an office space in Salt Lake City, Utah. While it probably wasn't up to code, the team did sell their first ticket out of that garage before venturing out one cold January day.
The Sundance Film Festival was in full swing, and the Ticket Cake crew was not about to let the opportunity for recognition pass them up. They got friends and family on board to walk up and down the main drag to pass out 1,500 cupcakes specially made for that one moment; they told everybody to check out the site and get their tickets for the various concerts happening.
It wasn't long after when Downtown Las Vegas set their sights on Ticket Cake. In 2012 they officially moved and set up shop in The Ogden as one of the first VegasTechFund companies. Before long they closed their first round of funding.
"When we closed our first round of capital we were trying to think of something fun to do in Vegas outside of the night life scene," says Jensen. "We ultimately decided to ride the roller coaster at New York, New York."
During their tenure in Las Vegas Ticket Cake and their amazing team processed 1.7 million ticket sales, raised 2 rounds of capital, saw 320 event organizers use the site, helped 25,000 customers buy tickets, and passed out more cupcakes than they thought possible.
We're all about celebration at Tech Cocktail, and Ticket Cake cleaves to the philosophy of celebration as well. What's cool is the manner in which they chose to celebrate their final days as Ticket Cake.
"It's important to us that we not only celebrate us, but everybody," says Jensen.
They filled their office space with Prosecco, cupcakes, local food, investors, community members, and advisors for one last hurrah.
"It was important for us to have this moment to celebrate," says Jensen. "Not just us, but the entire Vegas Tech community."
Let's all take a moment to toast and applaud the efforts of Ticket Cake. We wish you all the best of luck as you move forward on your journey.

Cell phone use was associated with increased risk of two types of brain tumors in a new study of 790,000 women.Joel M. Moskowitz, PRLog (Press Release) - May 10, 2013
Cell phone use was associated with increased risk of acoustic neuroma and cancer of the pituitary gland in a prospective study of more than 790,000 women in the United Kingdom.
Women who used cell phones for ten or more years were two-and- a-half times more likely to develop an acoustic neuroma. Their risk of acoustic neuroma increased with the number of years they used cell phones.
The results for acoustic neuroma re-affirm one of the two major conclusions by the World Health Organization (WHO) in its recent monograph about radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and form the basis for classification of cell phone radiation as "possibly carcinogenic" to humans:
"Positive associations have been observed between exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless phones and glioma, and acoustic neuroma." (p. 421)

My first lucid dream, finally!
I have been trying for a little over a month, with no luck at all. Then finally last night, I was dreaming that I was in a large church with my daughter, who is 20. It was some kind of rehearsal for something. They were asking people to move to a certain area of the church. I looked at my daughter, but she was as she looked when 4 or 5 years old. I did not say it out loud, but thought to myself, I am dreaming. From reading posts on the forum, I knew that I would soon wake up from the excitement, so I took my 4 year old daughters hand and said, "You want to fly?" We ran outside and jumped into the air, flew straight up for about 5 or 6 seconds, then I lost control of the dream. I was now in bed, waking up hearing my wife talk to my mother in law downstairs. The really cool thing is I knew this was a dream as well, but could not regain control of the dream, and then I did wake up. I hope now that I have broken past the barrier of "Can I do this" that it will get easier, and I will have more control. Good luck to all who are still trying, do not give up. Happy Dreams.

If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
Lymphoma is cancer of the lymph system. It can start anywhere in the lymph system and can spread to other parts of the body.
There are 2 main types of lymphoma:
Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma are different in how they:
To have the best chance of a cure, your child needs care by a team experienced in treating this cancer in children. Your child will have that team at our Leukemia and Lymphoma Program.
The lymph system is a network of small vessels that collect a watery fluid (lymph) from all around the body. It is part of your child's immune system.
White blood cells called lymphocytes travel in the lymph, fighting infection and disease. Along the network of lymph vessels are bean-like structures called lymph nodes. They filter the lymph and serve as centers where the body fights disease.
Doctors do not know what causes Hodgkin lymphoma. There is no known way to prevent it.
Most children who have Hodgkin lymphoma have no clear risk factors. But the chance of this cancer is higher in children who:
At Seattle Children's, we care for many families each year who have a child with Hodgkin lymphoma. Many of the children we treat return to their normal lives after treatment and never have cancer again.
The experts in our Leukemia and Lymphoma Program provide advanced therapies for children with all types of Hodgkin lymphoma, including lymphoma that comes back (recurs). We treat more young people with lymphoma and leukemia than any other center in the region. See our statistics and outcomes.
The program is part of the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Seattle Children's. Please contact the center at 206-987-2106 for more information, a second opinion or to make an appointment.
A doctor specially trained in diagnosing and treating cancer in children (pediatric oncologist) will guide your child's care. Your child's team will also include a nurse practitioner and a social worker.
We care for your whole child. We don't just treat their cancer. As needed, your child will receive care from specialists in nutrition, pain management, pharmacy, physical therapy, psychology and emotional health. Read more about the supportive care we offer.
Treatment options for Hodgkin's lymphoma include new combinations of medicine (chemotherapy and targeted therapy), stem cell transplants and radiation therapy.
We provide stem cell transplants through Fred Hutch, whose doctors pioneered this lifesaving treatment. If your child needs a stem cell transplant, their cancer doctor will work closely with the transplant team to plan their treatment. The plan includes:
For more than a decade, U.S. News & World Report has consistently ranked Seattle Children's Cancer Center among the best in the nation. In 2018, our program again ranked #1 in the Northwest.
Our outcomes for Hodgkin lymphoma are significantly better than the national average.
Through our partnership in the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), your child will benefit from the work of physician-scientists at Fred Hutch and UW Medicine, as well as at Seattle Children's. The National Cancer Institute has designated our partnership a comprehensive cancer center.
Our experience helps us recommend the right treatment at the right time to have the best results for your child and your family.
At Seattle Children's, your child's treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma depends on their disease and how it responds to the first type of therapy given. This is known as risk-adapted, response-driven therapy. It is designed both to cure the disease and to limit any long-term effects from the treatment.
Our doctors are leaders in lymphoma research, including care of survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma. Dr. Eric Chow chairs the Outcomes and Survivorship Committee of the Children's Oncology Group (COG). COG is an international organization of childhood cancer specialists who work to develop new treatments and reduce later effects of the disease and treatments.
We work hard to find the best possible research study for your child. Our research leadership means we can offer our patients the very latest options being studied, including Phase 1 clinical trials. These early studies are especially important if your child's cancer does not respond well to treatment or comes back.
Read more about cancer clinical trials at Seattle Children's.
You can search by diagnosis for many clinical trials available through Seattle Children's on ClinicalTrials.gov. Read our guide about searching for trials on ClinicalTrials.gov (PDF). You can search for bone marrow transplant clinical trials on Fred Hutch's clinical trials page.
Our specialty is treating children's cancer while helping them grow up to be healthy and productive adults.
Children don't react to illness, injury, pain and medicine in the same way as adults. They need – and deserve – care designed just for them.
Our cancer doctors have special training in how to diagnose and treat children with cancer. They base their treatment plans on years of experience and the newest research on what works best – and most safely – for children.
Our experts focus on how treatments today affect growing bodies in the future. Dr. Eric Chow leads a study to learn more about the long-term physical and psychological effects of cancer treatments in people who had the disease as children or teens.
A diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma can be scary. We help take positive steps right away by offering appointments within 1 to 3 days to children who are suspected to have cancer.
During visits, we take time to explain your child's condition. We help you fully understand your treatment options and make the choices that are right for your family.
Our child life specialists and social workers help your child and your family through the challenges of cancer. We connect you to community resources and support groups.
At Seattle Children's, we work with many children and families from around the Northwest and beyond. Whether you live nearby or far away, we can help with financial counseling, schooling, housing, transportation, interpreter services and spiritual care. Read about our services for patients and families.
These symptoms may be caused by Hodgkin lymphoma or by another condition. Check with a doctor if your child has any of these:
To find out whether your child has Hodgkin lymphoma, the doctor will:
Your doctor will want to take pictures of the inside of your child's body (imaging studies). These help the doctor see enlarged lymph nodes, tumors or areas where cancer is active.
Imaging studies may include:
Your child's doctor may do further tests to tell if the cancer has spread around the lymph system or to other parts of the body. This helps tell the stage of your child's cancer, which affects their treatment.
The tests may include:
It is important to find out how far cancer has spread and what body parts it affects. This process is called staging.
Knowing the stage of your child's cancer helps your doctor plan the right treatment. There are 4 stages of Hodgkin lymphoma:
Our Leukemia and Lymphoma Program offers the most advanced treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma in our region, including clinical trials of promising new therapies.
Our goal of treatment is to give your child or teen the best chance of a long and healthy life.
Your child's doctor and health care team will suggest a treatment plan for your child based on:
Hodgkin lymphoma needs more intense treatment if:
For classical Hodgkin lymphoma, usually treatment starts with chemotherapy medicine. Your child will get chemotherapy in cycles, with a period of treatment followed by a rest period to let their body recover.
After several cycles of treatment, your child will have a PET scan or CT scan to see how the cancer is responding to chemotherapy medicines. After that, many children have more chemotherapy and often radiation therapy.
If your child's disease does not respond well to treatment or returns after the first round of treatment, doctors may suggest high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. Another option is targeted therapy.
Nodular lymphocyte–predominant Hodgkin lymphoma tends to grow more slowly and may be treated differently than classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Chemotherapy would be less intensive than for the classical form of this disease. Your doctor might also suggest surgery or radiation.
Most children with Hodgkin lymphoma are treated with chemotherapy using more than 1 medicine. Chemotherapy means giving medicines that go throughout your child's body to kill cancer cells. Based on the type of disease and whether or where it has spread, your child's doctors may also suggest radiation therapy.
For Hodgkin lymphoma, chemotherapy is given by mouth or through a vein, which is called intravenous (IV). These medicines spread around the body through the bloodstream. They can help kill cancer cells:
Our patients receive chemotherapy at our hospital's main campus in Seattle. Your child may get treatment at our infusion center as a day procedure or overnight in our Cancer Care Unit.
See more about getting chemotherapy at Seattle Children's.
Many children with Hodgkin lymphoma get radiation therapy along with chemotherapy to kill cancer cells and reduce the size of any tumors.
Options include:
Before treatment, imaging tests help pinpoint the location of Hodgkin lymphoma so doctors give radiation only to the affected areas. We focus beams as precisely as possible to help limit damage to healthy tissue.
Radiation can harm a young child's developing nervous system and affect bone growth. Our radiation oncologist, Dr. Ralph Ermoian, is very experienced in caring for children. He helps your child's team decide if radiation may be helpful and what type of radiation to use.
Research has shown that children do not need radiation therapy if they have intermediate-risk Hodgkin lymphoma that responds well to chemotherapy. Now researchers are studying whether children with high-risk disease can be cured without radiation therapy. High-risk is stage 3 or 4 disease with B symptoms (fever, weight loss or night sweats).
Learn more about Seattle Children's Radiation Therapy Service.
Most children and teens with Hodgkin lymphoma do not have surgery, except for a biopsy to help diagnose the disease. During a biopsy, doctors usually remove a whole lymph node to check for cancer. In some cases, they may remove a small sample of tissue from another tumor site.
Usually lymphoma spreads throughout the lymph system, so it's rare to have a tumor in a specific location. Even if your child does have a tumor, doctors usually treat it with chemotherapy and radiation rather than surgery.
Rarely, if a child has nodular lymphocyte–predominant Hodgkin lymphoma in only 1 node, they may be treated with surgery alone.
Surgery is done at our hospital's main campus in Seattle.
Learn more about surgery to treat tumors at Seattle Children's.
If your child's lymphoma comes back after the first treatment, your doctor may suggest high doses of chemotherapy followed by a transplant of their own blood-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells.
Doctors recommend a stem cell transplant if there are high-risk features when Hodgkin lymphoma comes back. These include:
Before high-dose chemotherapy, doctors will remove stem cells from your child. The cells are frozen and stored. After chemotherapy is finished, doctors return the stem cells to your child's body through a vein.
High-dose chemotherapy treats tumors more effectively than lower-dose chemo. But the drugs damage the bone marrow's ability to make new blood cells. That's why your child needs a transplant of their stored healthy stem cells. A stem cell transplant using a child's own cells is called autologous (aw-TAH-luh-gus).
In rare cases, or if the Hodgkin lymphoma comes back after the transplant, doctors may transplant stem cells from a donor whose cells closely match your child's. This type of stem cell transplant is called allogeneic (A-loh-jeh-NAY-ik).
For either type of transplant, children may get radiation before the transplant or after they recover from the transplant.
We do the transplants at Seattle Children's, working closely with our partner, Fred Hutch.
Learn more about the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program.
Targeted therapy fights cancer by finding a specific substance (target), such as a protein on cancer cells or a substance that helps cancer grow. Different targeted therapies work in different ways. They may interfere with the cancer cells' ability to grow, divide, make repairs or communicate with other cells.
Some types of targeted therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma are being studied in clinical trials. Other targeted therapies may be part of standard treatment for your child if their cancer does not respond well to treatment or if it comes back.
Many children, adolescents and young adults with lymphoma participate in research as part of their medical treatment. Research studies of new drugs and other promising treatment approaches are called clinical or therapeutic trials.
As a member of organizations like the Children's Oncology Group (COG), Seattle Children's can offer our patients the latest treatments being studied, including Phase 1 clinical trials. These early studies are not available at most treatment centers. The knowledge we gain through research improves the care we give all children with cancer.
Clinical trials at Seattle Children's include:
Follow-up care is important after treatment ends — no matter what type of treatment your child had. Your follow-up routine will depend on your child's cancer and their treatments.
Most of our patients visit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Clinic at Seattle Children's for follow-up care. If you live far from Seattle, your child may get some follow-up care from a cancer doctor in your own community.
During follow-up visits at Seattle Children's, your child's team will:
Our Cancer Survivor Program provides long-term follow-up care to help young people stay healthy after being treated for cancer in childhood. Through our partnership in the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, our patients who have had a stem cell transplant get care from the SCCA's Long-Term Follow-Up program.
Contact the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at 206-987-2106 for an appointment, a second opinion or more information.
To make an appointment, you can call us directly or get a referral from your child's primary care provider. We encourage you to coordinate with your pediatrician or family doctor when coming to Seattle Children's.
Providers, see how to refer a patient.

Cutting-edge, modern videos are changing how buyers buy homes.
Gone are the days of homebuyers blindly relying on a real estate professional to choose the homes they should go see. "Today's homebuyers are turning to the web first," says Jorge Guerra, broker of Miami-based Real Estate Sales Force (RESF). "Then, they're coming to us with a list of the homes they want to see based on the pictures they see online." But, pictures aren't enough. Today's consumer is demanding video and Guerra is right there giving them what they want.
As a service to his prospective buyers and sellers, he uses cutting-edge videos for each of his listings—no matter what the listing price. "The truth is that most real estate professionals aren't using videos to market their properties. We are and that makes us unique. And, we're not limiting these videos to just luxury homes. Each listed property gets a video. Our sellers' properties are getting more exposure, and our buyers are saving time driving from house to house," he says. "And, it's an environmentally responsible way to view properties, saving on both gas and time," says Guerra.
Guerra is part of a new generation of real estate professionals who understand that high tech is just as important as high touch. "People are busy. If you can allow them to walk through homes virtually, they can save hours on their home search. When they finally do visit a property, it's usually to confirm what they already knew—they're ready to buy that property."
Guerra's hip videos are set to trendy music and shot in high definition using a glide cam. "It's very "MTV Cribs," says Guerra. "We design videos that make you feel as though you're walking through the property, and we feature views of the outside and the neighborhood." Because these videos are so well done, Guerra finds that "it lowers the time the property sits on the market and cuts showing time by 90 percent and the videos have viral reach, being shared via social media networks." After all, buyers can weed out properties and hone in on the ones in which they're most interested. In fact, he says, through his research he finds that the majority of prospective buyers view the property videos from a mobile device. "They may drive by a property and go to the video," he says.
In fact, Guerra recently had a $3.4 million property listed that sold quickly thanks to the video he produced. "This particular buyer used his iPad to view my branded video of the property. He found the listing through Realtor.com, then called me and arranged to see the property," says Guerra. "Within a few hours, he and his wife viewed the property and made a full-price offer. This was a foreign buyer who was looking for a primary residence in Florida and had only a limited amount of time to visit properties while in the United States," he says.
More and more real estate professionals are hoping to serve tech-savvy buyers and sellers through a combination of professionally done videos and social media. Guerra is ahead of the curve.

Jorge Guerra, broker of Real Estate Sales Force in Miami, hopes to rewrite the way South Florida real estate is bought, sold and leased. By leveraging technology, Guerra aggressively markets properties on a world-wide platform with next-generation tools, such as social media, videos, virtual walk-throughs and online applications. A third-generation entrepreneur, Guerra opened Real Estate Sales Force (RESF) in 2005. The real estate firm has three offices in Coral Gables, West Kendall and Miami Lakes. Since its inception, the company has grown from 25 real estate professionals to over 270.

From Cozad, Nebraska, USA:
My family doctor has just prescribed me the Byetta injectable pen. I had been taking metformin, Amaryl and Avandia for my type 2, but, recently, I determined that my severe diarrhea, which lasted for months, was from taking these medications. I conducted an experiment. If I didn't take them, I had no diarrhea. After a while, I went to our family doctor and told him. He prescribed the pen, two times daily, once before breakfast and once before my evening meal. I was wondering what you might know about this pen and it's successful use. I am to use the pen and stop all other diabetes medications. I am hopeful it will work, but I am a little concerned as the only injectables I know about are for insulin. I would appreciate another opinion.
There has been a lot of excitement over the introduction of Byetta for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The medication is an analog (a drug that looks like another naturally occurring hormone) of glucaon-like peptide I (GLP-I). GLP-I is a naturally occurring hormone made in the gut and helps the body respond to ingested glucose. The hormone slows GI transit, induces a decrease in the anti-insulin hormone glucagon, and actually stimulates the pancreas to make insulin in response to ingested food. Therefore, its effects are more potent with the post-meal glucose than the fasting glucose. In testing these compounds, it also appears that Byetta helps to induce weight loss, an added benefit in patients with diabetes. In fact, in data recently presented at the Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association this summer, Byetta was able to induce an average of 11 pounds of weight loss over the three years it was used in the trial. It appears the drug works through a central mechanism inducing satiety and decreased appetite. It has been approved by FDA for patients who fail to obtain good blood sugar control on metformin and/or sulfonylureas.
You were on three medications. The metformin is the most common cause of diarrhea among the drugs you were taking. In most of the trials, the oral medications were not stopped. You may want to talk to your physician about continuing at least the Amaryl. The medication has been used in a number of patients already. The biggest side effect has been nausea. However, the more we use it, the less of a deal this seems to be. Long-term, this also may be a medication that may prevent the loss of insulin secretory capacity and change the natural history of type 2 diabetes.

All Industries
Gaining efficiency with decentralized verification.
The ability to issue secure digital records has applications across every industry. The maintenance of official records has traditionally required stewardship by institutions, on behalf of individuals, for storage and transmission. Moving into the age of blockchain-based records means individuals and organizations can own and directly share these records of achievement and identity.
As industries scale out their blockchain strategies and verifiable digital records become the norm, new types of efficiencies are being discovered and unnecessary costs eliminated from legacy processes.
Expensive middlemen and complex bureaucracies can be replaced with the efficiency of direct interaction.
What comes after an industry's important digital records are verifiable? A whole new ecosystem of technical automation, enabled by 'smart contracts,' begins to produce a new social fabric that enables civic efficiencies, personal mobility, and institutional transformation. Giving people their data in a format they can easily own and use is one of the best ways you can prepare your organization for the future.

South University, West Palm Beach (View Other Campuses)
Dr. Ben Herz outlines the structure and benefits of the South University Doctor of Occupational Therapy program. Learn what makes South University's program different in this category.
My name is Ben Herz, I am the program director of the Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program here at South University.
The program is actually designed for those people who already have an occupational therapy degree, both bachelors and masters. What we're doing is, we're concentrating more on the constructive critical thinking aspect, making sure that they're getting advanced knowledge using evidence based practices for that. Being able to support their area of practice, and look at the specialty area that they may be in, whether it's pediatrics or all through geriatrics, or even phycology.
There are two different tracks, the baccalaureate degree, of course, has a couple of courses that are gonna be prerequisite course that they would need to take before they come into the actual program. Masters can come in right away. I was one who went and got his doctorate after getting a degree, and it really brought me back to the nature of what occupational therapy is, and how to implement various different things into that. It just made me a better therapist, I think.
South University's Doctor of Occupational Therapy is an innovative graduate curriculum that builds the profession's capacity to empower the advanced clinical-scholar. The program emphasizes advanced leadership, advanced pedagogy, and advanced clinical knowledge that is consistent with the vision of South University where critical thinking, professionalism and community service which are tantamount to transformative learning.
Through engagement in diverse learning opportunities within the classroom and community, students may graduate as competent, ethically-sound practitioners who will intuitively employ evidence-based practices throughout the many emerging therapeutic approaches.

Landscape Turned Red: The Battle of Antietam (1983)
by Stephen W. Sears
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Absolutely amazing! The author does a fantastic job of covering an immense amount of detail in such a beautiful way that it does not feel as though you are being pounded by an endless stream of facts and dates. This work most assuredly ranks among my favorite American Civil War books and is probably the best one I have come across that covers just one battle. If you are wanting to learn more about arguably the most important battle in the Civil War and therefore in American history, I highly recommend "Landscape Turned Red" by Stephen W. Sears.
A careful review of the actions at the Battle of Antietam and the errors costing thousands of lives reviewed. One of the definitive books on one of the deciding battles of the Civil War. 4 stars
For me, the US Civil War's real turning point comes directly after the Second Battle of Bull Run, when Robert E. Lee becomes convinced that a direct assault on Washington D.C. would be beyond the capacity of the Army of Northern Virginia. Mr. Sears has an excellent account of the events of the two weeks following that revelation. Lee veers away to force a panicked offer of peace and the bloodiest day of US Military history follows. All the dramatic events are revealed and controversies are pointed out in this book. The text is well written but the maps in the paperback that I read were several shades of grey, and not pleasant to consult. There's an order of battle, and many points are footnoted.
Read twice.
I have read a couple of other accounts of Civil War battles by Sears, and they are always extremely detailed. The battle of Antietam was especially complicated with a lot of action passing back and forth over the field and with simultaneous action in different parts of the field. This account may provide too much tedious detail for the casual reader, but for the advanced student of Civil War history who wants to dig deeper into the details of this battle, this book will serve well.
One of the best books on the Maryland Campaign of 1862

Wikipedia in English (18)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0618344195, Paperback)
Combining brilliant military analysis with rich narrative history, Landscape Turned Red is the definitive work on the Battle of Antietam.
The Civil War battle waged on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of the bloodiest in the nation's history: on this single day, the war claimed nearly 23,000 casualties. Here renowned historian Stephen Sears draws on a remarkable cache of diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam as experienced not only by its leaders but also by its soldiers, both Union and Confederate, to produce what the New York Times Book Review has called "the best account of the Battle of Antietam."
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:19:06 -0400)
A definitive study of the climactic and pivotal battle of Antietam offers a vivid account of the two armies, the soldiers and officers, and the bitter, bloody campaign and analyzes the impact of Antietam on the Civil War as a whole.

Remember that when we use the term 'mobile devices', we're not only talking about mobile phones. Tablets already have strong acceptance and usage across Europe, and it's growing fast! By the end of 2015, an estimated 163.3 million Western Europeans will have access to a tablet and use it monthly – up 11.2% from 2014.
The Top 5 countries break down as such:
- United Kingdom: 32.8 million users (that's 63.8% of all regular internet users!)
- Germany: 31.0 million users
- France: 24.3 million users
- Italy: fewer than 18 million users
- Spain: fewer than 18 million users.
It's expected that there will be healthy growth across all Western European. By 2019, over 40 million new users add to the figures above, pushing the regional total past 205 million. The UK will likely have over 40 million regular tablet by that time.
Forgive the broken record, but if your online surveying solutions aren't already adapted for the greatly increasing numbers of mobile device users, there is no time like the present. Tablets and smartphones are increasingly pushing desktops aside as primary internet access devices each year.
