For Immediate Release: August 20, 2013 Media Contact: Vermont Department of Health – 802-863-7281 Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets – 802-828-2179
More EEE Detected in Addison County Mosquito Pools Aerial Spraying Planned for Aug. 22 and 27, Weather Permitting
BURLINGTON – Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus has been detected in mosquitoes from four more mosquito pools collected on August 10 and 12 in the swampy area of Whiting in southern Addison County. This brings the total to five detections in mosquito pools from the same area. West Nile virus has also been detected in mosquitoes collected in Whiting and in Brandon. Weather permitting, aerial spraying of the pesticide Anvil 10+10 (Sumithrin) for the Whiting area is being planned by Health and Agriculture officials in coordination with local officials and the Agency of Natural Resources. The area to be treated is limited to a two mile radius centered around the swampy area north of Stickney Road in Whiting. This area is sparsely populated. The spraying operation will be managed by the Agency of Agriculture. The treatment is planned for Thursday, August 22 and again on Tuesday, August 27 from dusk to approximately 11 p.m. The pesticide will be sprayed in very low volume concentrations from a fixed-wing aircraft. In case of rain, the operation could be postponed. "These newest detections only intensify our recommendations to Vermonters to fight the bite, no matter where you live," said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. "We can't kill every mosquito, but targeted spraying may knock back the local population of mosquitoes that are carrying the EEE virus. Spraying could reduce risk of infection, but it's still important that we all take precautions against mosquito bites." The Health Department is alerting local officials, area residents and health care providers about the spraying operation, and any precautions to take. A map and more information about spraying and precautions for people and animals will be available at: www.healthvermont.gov <http://www.healthvermont.gov> , www.vermontagriculture.com <http://www.vermontagriculture.com> , or dial 2-1-1, United Ways of Vermont. EEE is a rare but serious and often fatal disease. Nationally, about six people every year are diagnosed with the illness. EEE was detected in mosquitoes for the first time in the state in 2012, and two people became ill and died. In September 2012, the State conducted this type of aerial spraying of the areas around the Whiting and Brandon swamps. The Whiting area sprayed in 2012 is the same area that will be sprayed, with the same pesticide, this year. Significant EEE activity has only been detected in the southern Addison and northern Rutland counties region, but it's likely the virus is present in other parts of the state. West Nile virus, which generally causes milder illness, has been documented since 2000 and over the years has been detected in every county in Vermont. Both viruses are spread to humans and some animals through the bite of an infected mosquito. Neither can be spread from contact with birds, animals or people. To date in 2013, no illness from either West Nile virus or EEE has been reported in animals or in people. Take Action to Fight the Bite: Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants outside when mosquitoes are active. Use insect repellents labeled as being effective against mosquitoes. Effective ingredients are DEET, picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus. Cover baby carriages or outdoor play spaces with mosquito netting. Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out. Take extra precautions at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active and biting. Reduce mosquito breeding habitats by getting rid of standing water and draining areas where water can pool – such as rain gutters, wading pools and old tires. The Agency of Agriculture reminds owners of West Nile virus and EEE-susceptible species, including horses, llamas and alpacas, to talk with their veterinarian about vaccinating their animals. Both illnesses can cause severe neurologic disease and death in these species. Emus are susceptible to EEE and can be vaccinated with the equine vaccine. For extensive information about EEE and West Nile virus and the 2013 Arbovirus Surveillance & Response Plan, go to www.healthvermont.gov <http://www.healthvermont.gov>

We'll have two classes a Novice class where you only have to cover 100 miles and go to 3 bonus locations to be a finisher and an Open class, which is for more experienced rally riders or those who like a challenge. We've designed this rally so it won't matter if you are coming from San Diego, Bakersfield or Santa Barbara. You can start near home and won't have to travel long distances to complete the rally or be competitive. What we've done is adapt the "acquire bonus points" goals of the long distance rally into an easy to complete day ride by setting up a series of bonus locations local to Central and Southern California. No special equipment is needed and any street legal bike or scooter will do just fine.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Fifty yard-line season tickets in the lower section of the new Minnesota Vikings stadium come with an upfront license fee of $4,500 to $9,500, while a seat in the nosebleeds will set loyal fans back a $500 fee, team officials announced Friday.
The release of the pricing structure for the personal seat licenses, which the team is calling stadium builder's licenses, coincides with a ramp-up in marketing for seats in the under-construction stadium set to open in 2016. Current season ticket holders have first rights to buy into the new building, with sales to them happening in waves over the next nine months. Those one-time charges are on top of the annual price of buying a ticket, which will go for $50 to $400 apiece per game.
"A lot of it's driven like a real-estate model," said Jason Gonella, executive director of the seat-license program.
In other words, it's about location, location, location. Those who pay the most will get access to a spacious bar and lounge with sweeping views of the field, or seats right at field level where they can slap hands with players as they enter. Other coveted seats will come with private concourses and concession areas.
Three-quarters of the stadium's 65,000 seats will have a license fee attached. The average license will cost $2,500. About 2,400 seats will require a license fee of $7,000 or higher, while about 2,300 will have a fee of $500. Others will have fees that fall somewhere in between.
Vikings ownership is using seat license proceeds to cover one-fifth of the $500 million private share for the $1 billion stadium. The licenses are expected to generate $125 million, but a chunk of that is being poured back into marketing. The Vikings plan to open a 7,500-square-foot "preview center" this month where fans can see what the new place has to offer.
Critics of the project have complained that steep upfront costs for football fans are unfair given that state and city taxes will pay roughly half of construction costs.
Michele Kelm-Helgen, chairwoman of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, said she is "comfortable" with the pricing structure.
The Vikings are the 18th NFL franchise to tack the special assessments onto season tickets to pay for a new or renovated building. The amount the team is pulling in from the fees — capped by state law — put the team in the middle, according to inflation-adjusted figures. Kelm-Helgen said if the Vikings cannot find enough buyers to meet projections they'll have to make up the difference.
Officials say the assessment can be paid interest free over three years. Those fans needing longer can sign up for an eight-year payment schedule with interest costs attached.
For the next two seasons, the Vikings will play at the University of Minnesota's on-campus, open-air stadium. It is smaller than the Metrodome, which is currently being demolished. Season ticket holders who choose not to go outdoors won't lose their place in line in the new building, Vikings chief marketing officer Steve LaCroix said.
The seat license owners only get guaranteed access to 10 NFL games per season, though they'll have priority to purchase playoff tickets. If the NFL awards Minneapolis a Super Bowl, the license holders won't get special preference when it comes to tickets, however.
Buyers can later sell the seat license to other fans if they no longer want to buy a season ticket.
While the Vikings are the main tenant, the publicly owned stadium will be used for events year-round, from concerts to amateur sports. But none of those are subject to license fees.
"Nobody was going to pay a seat license to come watch monster trucks," Kelm-Helgen said.

Gruening Building
1747 South Chandalar Drive
The Ernest Gruening Building, dedicated in May 1972, is an eight-story, 72,000-square-foot structure and the first building on campus more than three stories tall. It was designed to resemble the FBI office building in Washington, D.C.
The Gruening Building houses many departments in the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Education and academic advising.
Ernest Gruening was born in New York City in 1886. He graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1912 but never practiced medicine. He discovered a love for journalism and joined the Boston American as a reporter immediately after graduation. From 1938 to 1942, Gruening was a member of the Alaska International Highway Commission. In 1939, Roosevelt appointed Gruening territorial governor of Alaska. He served 14 years as governor and made statehood his personal campaign.

Trying to stop it.
- Articles
Poverty is all around us, people are suffering and dying. peoples hearts are filled with disbelief and no hope. for part of my youth group I am in charge of Mission things. I'm starting by making a difference in my youth group, then my town and soon hopefully the world. My heart is for those that have no hope. I'm going to be the hope they need. This is something that I wrote to make people aware ....
The Unseen
I've seen the unseen, I've walked amongst death and I've felt their pain. The fear of disease is all around me. The tears and hurt is just something that has grown into the every day to day life. Hearts are broken permanently, lives are wrecked almost completely. Thailand is said to be a land of beauty; beaches, sun and smiles, but I was going for a different reason. The reason being was to see the unseen. I was going on a Missions trip. Stepping out of the Bangkok Airport. Taking a big breath in. I stopped and almost passed out, it was thick and hard to breathe. The air was like nothing I've experienced before. I felt trapped and surrounded- I felt like I was in a small enclosed space. It was different and felt unreal. Being surrounded by lecherous eyes watching, wanting, and waiting for something unclean. Being surrounded by this culture they live. Feeling unsafe, disgusted and filthy all because of your sex. Feeling uncomfortable because of the colour of your hair and eyes. Being trapped in yourself. Welcome to Thailand... The way they live. I've held the children unseen, and they move me. I wonder what I can do to improve a thousand lives, I feel the absence of love and it scares me. The trading of a humans live is a question of 'supply' and 'demand'. This world needs to open their eyes and see the unseen. Stopping to catch our breath up the stairs to a temple, a couple of hundred up and only half way. Stretched from the first step to the last was a dragon. Tinted with red and gold. The scales that covered the outside of the dragon were as big as both of my hands put together. The temple its self was paved with gold. Had statues made out of marble and rocks. And had the smell of insists all around. It was peaceful and calming but at the same time intriguing. It allowed your mind to go anywhere, if you let it, that was.
On the way back down a child, a little girl no older than four, reaches out to me and grabs on. I could feel her hurt, I could see her pain and I felt her tears as they soaked my shirt. She's crying out for money, she looked into my eyes and I looked back in hers, they said "save me!" I say "what is wrong with this world?" Children's laughter is hard to find, but smiles are part of a cover-up, and joy… Well what is joy? The colours that cover your eyes as you walk past are just amazing. The smells that fill your nose as you take a breath in are so strong. Some good, some bad, some amazing and leave you searching for where it comes from but others, leave you questioning what it was. As you walk through these streets, pain radiates out of the smiles. They are so friendly and welcoming, even after all they have been through. To stay strong is something they aim for. Having a meal once a week is hard to live by, but for the majority of the time the living, doesn't last long. Hope even after everything, is still there. I sit here a world away, their suffering I don't know by name, but I see their faces every day and I pray it's not too late, for the hope that I know to arise. Reality for them is a worst nightmare for us. They're homes have been broken, and lives have been destroyed but for them, this is life. Open your heart to the things unseen. By Lauri Peers

If you have ever been snorkeling or scuba diving at any of the Atlantic or Caribbean coral reefs off the coast of the Florida Keys, Mexico, or beyond consider yourself lucky enough to have witnessed the beauty and wonder that the ocean can contain. Your children may not be so lucky.
In the July 10th web edition of Science, Dr. Kent Carpenter and his colleagues explore the extent of coral reef destruction and the risk of extinction of the myriad species of coral. Of the 704 reef-building coral species assessed in this report, 231 are listed in the Threatened categories, while 407 are in Threatened and Near Threatened categories. This is in vast contrast to their assessment of numbers before 1998, when 20 species would have been categorized as Near Threatened and only 13 listed as Threatened. This is a dramatic increase in the number of coral species on the verge of extinction.
According to Carpenter, although the disturbances in the coral populations are lead by a change in the global climate, local threats by human interference reduces the ability of coral to withstand those global changes. The loss of coral's resilience due to human disturbance such as coastal development, over fishing, pollution, and even eco-tourism could make extinction a real and present-day threat to our beautiful coral reefs. According to an article in Science News online edition, a status report on reef communities by the NOAA reef research program found that 69% of Pacific reefs are still in good condition, but only 25% of Caribbean and Atlantic ones fall in that category
Not only would this mass extinction have a huge economic impact on communities that rely on reef fish for food, this could this devastate the bio-diversity found in and around coral reefs and impact the ocean as a whole. Education and awareness of our impact on these ancient structures is an important step in changing our destructive presence (whether through fishing, snorkeling, or the like) to unobtrusive visitors that leave no traces behind.

Intel X25-M *G1* extremely high Disk Queue Lengthjkjkjk Jan 18, 2011 8:08 PM
I purchased an Intel X25-M (G1) 80GB SSD in October 2009 when I built my computer - so a little over a year ago. Initially it was beautiful, very fast and reliable. Expensive, at $240 from Newegg, but I figured I was paying for quick boot times, snappy OS, fast core applications and web browsing.
Unfortunately in the last 3-4 months, performance has been degrading gradually, frmo noticeable, to bad, to outright terrible. It seems to manifest most often as insanely high disk queues in Windows 7 Resource Monitor. When I look in the Disk tab, I see the following, without fail, every time my system does its periodic lock-ups:
Both shots are literally from the last few minutes as I was typing this message. Response time column in Resource Monitor skyrockets (sometimes 6,000+), Disk Queue Length soars to over 1.00, CPU usage drops to 0, and the system is unresponsive for 5-30 seconds at a time.
It's always the SSD. Usually the responsible processes are related to my browser (Firefox) but thats because it's my most used application.
That blue line going up indicates "% Highest Active Time" according to the Resource Monitor. This happens even under light load - I could be loading a webpage or opening a speadsheet or what have you.
Here's the pretty sorry-looking specs I get from AS SSD.
The performance degradation of the Intel X25-M G1 SSDs seem to be pretty well documented online, although I don't know if Intel has ever acknowledged it. The most useful article I've come across is this: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=669&type=expert&pid=1
I was hoping I maybe just had to update firmware, but Intel's tool says I have the latest (8820) so no hope for a quick fix there. System also tells me I have TRIM on but I don't know if Intel ever updated the G1s to make use of trim.
Other information:
Windows 7 64 bit
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (E8500 @ 3.16 Ghz)
And no, I don't try to defrag this drive, I know better than that. It seems to me like the extensive writes to the firefox profile files and maybe my images folder (which I recently moved off the SSD because of all this) wore the drive out - but in only a year! I still have mechanical HDDs from 5 years ago that run indistinguishably from when they were new.
What are my options, besides "wipe with secure erase and reinstall windows", or "buy a G2" - because I'm honestly wary of Intel SSDs now, and maybe SSDs in general. I'm willing to spend money on my PC but dropping $240 ($3/GB!) for less than a year of solid performance from my storage is not worth it. I could have bumped up to a quad core CPU and picked up a fast mechanical HDD for about the price the SSD cost me.

This is Benny!! He is a 3-year-old pit bull mix available for adoption through Just a Dog rescue in San Diego. http://www.justadog.org/home_page.html
He is a "special needs" dog - he has a rare birth defect where his knee caps are on the inside of his legs, opposed to the normal location and the femur head is facing the opposite direction. We checked into surgery options, but the only thing available borders on mad scientist stuff. He will get arthritis at an early age and will need pain maintenance for the rest of his life. He looks like he's squeezing his butt cheeks when he walks and he runs like a bunny. Because of the defect he is also predisposed to ACL tears, so he needs to be kept from doing too much jumping around. Good luck with that though because he's a very happy, bouncy boy. He requires an Adequan shot once a month for pain maintenance and he is on glucosamine. The rescue is going to be getting him into water therapy to build up the muscles in his hind legs.
He is dog social, but will react if another dog snarks at him a little too much. He is not good with cats - especially with reactive ones. He's very people-friendly, loves kids and is very patient with them, although he may be overwhelming with the littler ones.
One warning - he will eat everything that isn't tied down. I mean everything! He likes dirty laundry, bed skirts, towels, kids toys, laundry softener sheets, etc. Although it's easy to forgive such a cute face.
Benny, minus the Jets
Why buy from a breeder when there are plenty of homeless pups in shelters???

"Windows is indeed slower than other operating systems in many scenarios, and the gap is worsening." That's one way to start an insider explanation of why Windows' performance isn't up to snuff. Written by someone who actually contributes code to the Windows NT kernel, the comment on Hacker News, later deleted but reposted with permission on Marc Bevand's blog, paints a very dreary picture of the state of Windows development. The root issue? Think of how Linux is developed, and you'll know the answer.

RE[4]: Too funny
by djohnston on Mon 13th May 2013 15:48 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: Too funny"
Run levels are a defined standard, Debian simply ignored them - many will say you can create similar functionality, but you can create similar via targets in systemd, this doesn't mean it follows the standard.
They don't really "ignore" them.
There is also the issue of using dash for /bin/sh which results in some oddities.
That's a good point. I had forgotten they did that after Lenny. bash is the default "interactive" shell.

"While [climate change mitigation] programs could be seen as a burden, they are actually great opportunities to cut costs while reducing an organization's environmental footprint. The risks – once identified and managed for an individual organization – can help foster customer relationships and yield competitive advantages." –Steve Starbuck, Americas leader-climate change and sustainability services, for consulting firm Ernst & Young LLP
There's an old saying in business: if you only have lemons to work with, make lemonade. That increasingly seems to be the axiom that many transportation and logistics experts are working with as pressures to reduce the environmental impact of global supply chains continues to mount.
"Regardless of the outcomes of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 16) in Cancun, Mexico this month, businesses face increasing pressure to identify environmentally-sound alternatives for managing operations risks, particularly when it comes to the supply chain," noted Steve Starbuck, Americas leader for Ernst & Young LLP's climate change and sustainability services.
This demand is coming from many sources, not the least being a growing number of large corporate supplier qualification and scorecard programs that are employed to examine carbon footprints and resource use at every step of the product and service lifecycle – from the sourcing of raw materials to waste disposal by customers, he added.
[Here are some similar thoughts on saving through supply chain "sustainability" efforts from consulting firm Capgemini.]
"In addition to commercial customers, consumers, investors, analysts and other stakeholders are demanding transparent information about the lifecycle of products and services," Starbuck said in a new report Ernst & Young put together on this issue.
He also pointed out that government engagement is a prime motivator for efforts by corporations to "green" their supply chains. In fact, this November the federal government – the largest supply chain in the U.S., by the way – unveiled its new GreenGov Supply Chain Partnership effort; a pilot program to cut waste and pollution in the federal supply chain by measuring greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
Following this pilot, the General Services Administration intends to develop an incentive-based approach to contracting to favor companies that track and disclose their GHGs.
OK, so what does all of this have to do with you? Well, first and foremost, whether you believe in climate change or not, you're going to face increasing pressure to reduce the environmental impact of the supply chains you serve.
More importantly, though, as Ernst & Young suggest, try to take advantage of such pressures. Use them as way to not only cut costs, but also as a way to develop a "competitive advantage."
"Supply chain and environmental professionals share a common goal: to reduce waste," said Starbuck. "While these supplier programs could be seen as a burden, they are actually great opportunities to cut costs while reducing an organization's environmental footprint. The risks – once identified and managed for an individual organization – can help foster customer relationships and yield competitive advantages."
[Here's a fun look at "greening" supply chains through the lens of … yogurt manufacturing!]
Here are the five supply chain areas Ernst & Young cite in their report where both the risks and rewards from more overt environmental impact reduction pressure will be felt:
• Strategic – The supply chain, for many companies, increasingly provides an opportunity to improve competitive advantage and reduce cost and waste. Leading companies understand this link, particularly as stakeholders become more interested in social and environmental costs.
• Compliance – Organizations that are required to comply with green supplier programs now need to track data on energy use and make the information available for audits. On the flip side, if an organization has instituted a green supplier program, it will need new processes to track and monitor supplier compliance and to use the data to drive decision-making.
• Financial – Supply chain issues impact an organization's financial strategy in multiple ways, such as: opportunities to cut costs, potential cash management and liquidity implications as a price for carbon is set in different jurisdictions, and new due diligence requirements for acquisitions. Additionally, as companies increase public disclosures in non-financial reports, CFOs and audit committees are exercising more oversight.
• Reputational – Many companies are implementing supplier qualification programs to ensure they do business with suppliers that share their values, which helps them manage brand and reputational risk. As such, these companies may conduct regular audits of suppliers, which might include compliance with emissions, waste and safety guidelines.
• Operational – Spare parts inventory management, manufacturing equipment utilization, and planned maintenance are just a few areas where the level of efficiency could be improved. Other operational areas to assess include: unplanned downtime, reduction and innovative uses for manufacturing waste, transportation, logistics and facilities.
"As organizations across the public and private sector decrease their environmental footprints by focusing on supply chain operations, many find they need to influence operations that fall outside the direct control of a single business unit or enterprise," explained Eric Olson, Ernst & Young's climate change and sustainability supply chain leader.
[And if your eyes haven't glazed over yet, here's a list you can ponder offering ten steps for helping firms "green" their supply chains.]
"As a result, supply chain leaders need up-to-date sustainability information that meets the growing demand for transparency and accuracy from customers and suppliers alike," he stressed. That'll require focus on some key metrics as well, including:
• Assess climate change and sustainability reporting needs, including evaluating the integrity and alignment of data across the supply chain.
• Monitor and assess existing or potential government regulations on the entirety of the supply chain.
• Review the corporate risk register and risk management policies for appropriate inclusion of climate change and sustainability risks associated with the supply chain.
The whole point of all of this, though, is very simple: change is going to be forced on supply chain operations, whether one likes it or not, to mitigate the environmental impact of said operations.
What Ernst & Young is saying – and it's smart advice – is get out ahead of such change, so you can cut costs as you comply with new rules, while finding a way to benefit from being "greener" than your competitors. Benefiting from such change will at the very least make your lemonade easier to swallow.

Current Law Students / Re: Legal Reasoning« on: September 17, 2006, 06:18:58 PM »
In his paper, Freud referred to the contagious and regressive nature of groups described by LeBon and McDougall, but he added the dimension of intrapsychic cathectic shifts that could occur in groups. Freud described the similarity of such groups as the Catholic Church and the army with the hypnotic situation. In all of these situations, there is a leader and one or more followers. The follower obeys the leader and gives up his own superego and ego ideal as he identifies with the leader's superego.
So basically, priests, soldiers, lawyers are brainwashed, cult-duped dicks?

A huge chasm has always existed between what you can do with Visual Basic (VB) 6.0 and what you can do with Visual C++ (VC++). VB6 can almost always handle simple business-logic problems, but when things need to be more complex (which is generally a minority of cases), you need to break out VC++ to get the job done. If you're as old as me, you probably don't want to suffer through VC++; my brain just doesn't want to think that hard anymore. That's why I like VB: It's perfect for prototyping and building quick little solutions. If only VB had object-oriented programming and support for free threading, and would let me build scalable Windows services, everything would be great. Well, now everything is great.
Visual Basic .NET gives you all the ease of rapid application development that you've been accustomed to in VB6. Visual Basic .NET has significantly closed the gap between VB and VC++. You can build large systems in pure VB without relying on the complex code you have to write with VC++. Don't get me wrong—you still need VC++ for all low-level tasks (such as building device drivers, for example) and when performance is of paramount importance. But in general, you won't find a significant performance difference between Visual Basic .NET and VC++ .NET.
Don't be afraid of that "paradigm shift" you've been hearing about. Frankly, my stomach turns every time someone mentions the ".NET paradigm shift." Most of us are engineers, right? Why would we be afraid to learn something new? Isn't this why we became engineers? Everyone should embrace the opportunity to learn new techniques for solving business problems. We get paid to learn—what could be better than that?
If you are asking yourself what .NET language you should jump into, here are a few rules of thumb that seem to work. If all you know is VB, then use Visual Basic .NET. If VB is your primary language and you've dabbled in VC++ or Java, then both Visual Basic .NET and C# are terrific choices. If all you do is VC++, and you're not writing "down to the metal" code, then C# is ideal. VC++ .NET remains the jumbo jet of all the .NET languages, and you can do anything you want with it. With all of this power, of course, comes complexity. Java developers have J#, but C# is also an excellent choice (perhaps better, because C# will always be better integrated into .NET than will J#). If you're concerned that C# is a new language and you're unsure about its future, be assured that Microsoft has written large parts of the .NET platform in C#, so you know the company is committed to supporting this language.
Visual Basic .NET, C#, and V++ .NET ship with the Visual Studio .NET Beta 2. You can also download a Beta 1 of J#. Visual Studio .NET Beta 2 is free right now. It's extremely stable and ready to roll (I haven't seen one General Protection Fault yet). It can run side by side with VS 6.0, so install it now and play with all the cool new tools. Learn a new language of your choice, and then you can leverage your knowledge to learn other languages as necessary.

Genetic counseling can be a critical component in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Although most cancer is not hereditary, at least 10 percent of all breast, colon and ovarian cancers have a significant genetic component. Clues to the hereditary nature of a cancer may be found in your family history, the age of onset of the cancer, the characteristics of the tumor and your ethnicity.
The best way to determine if a cancer is hereditary, and what that might mean for you and your family, is to visit with a genetic counselor. Genetic counselors are health care providers who have a graduate degree in genetic counseling and have been certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling.
A typical genetic counseling session involves a review of your family and medical history to determine the hereditary component – if any – to your cancer. The genetic counselor will:
Patients with hereditary cancers may be at risk for other cancers; therefore, genetic counseling can help make sure you and your family get the best advice about the appropriate screening and prevention practices to minimize cancer risks.
Genetic testing may or may not be a good option for you for many reasons. The genetic counselor will help you make the choice that is best for you. If you decide to have genetic testing, which usually involves a blood draw or a saliva sample, the genetic counselor can arrange the testing and help you navigate the health-insurance maze. Fortunately, federal legislation passed in 2008 (Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, or GINA) forbids health insurers from using genetic information as a pre-existing condition.
Robert Resta, M.S., C.G.C., Hereditary Cancer Clinic, Swedish Cancer Instittute
Genetic counseling can be as much an emotional experience as it is a medical experience. It may test your psyche, as well as your genes.
Some emotionally sensitive issues that commonly arise during genetic counseling include:
To schedule an appointment with a genetic counselor at the Hereditary Cancer Clinic at Swedish Cancer Institute, call 206-215-4377.
Some people experience none of these reactions, whereas other people experience many of them. Individuals, even those in the same family, may experience them with different levels of intensity. It is important to know that these are normal, human reactions to a stressful situation.
We encourage you to discuss your feelings with your genetic counselor, physician, therapist or other health-care provider. Your social network – friends, family and members of support groups – can also be an important source of strength and comfort. Don't hesitate to seek referrals to professional counselors and therapists who can help you work through these complex emotions and reactions. And, most importantly, don't judge yourself by how others respond to similar news. You are unique and, therefore, your reaction to your genetic testing results will be unique.
Dorcas Dobie, M.D., Psychiatry, Swedish Cancer Institute
The diagnosis of breast cancer can set a woman back on her heels. The dizzying array of tests, the difficult decisions about treatment options, and the treatment itself can bring on an entirely new set of emotions that are personal and complex.
Body image – the way a woman feels about herself when she looks in the mirror – is very individual. It is also difficult to predict from one patient to another. For many women, however, body image is a key factor affecting their treatment decisions when faced with a breast cancer diagnosis.
Many things determine what a woman sees when she looks in the mirror: her age and place in the life cycle, her concept of beauty, her role models growing up, her beliefs about sexuality, her relationships at work and home, and her weight, fitness and overall health. By adulthood, most women have negotiated a truce with the mirror when they get dressed in the morning. The diagnosis of breast cancer, however, can transform the mirror into a magnifying glass – amplifying old uncertainties and fears.
It is important to remember that these concerns are not trivial, even when compared to fears about mortality. Considering body image during the treatment decision-making process is absolutely normal.
A woman who is past her reproductive and child-rearing years may elect breast-conserving surgery because she cannot imagine herself without breasts – they are critical to her self-image. A young woman who has lost loved ones to breast cancer may request a prophylactic mastectomy despite her youth. Some women adjust to their new body contours and forego breast reconstruction. Others may elect to pursue reconstructive surgery as soon as possible after a mastectomy. And, for many women, the public prospect of losing their hair may be more demoralizing than the more private prospect of losing a breast.
Fears thrive in silence. Concerns about becoming unattractive or "damaged" are common. Talking through these concerns with the medical team, a life partner, or trusted family and friends, can help clarify priorities and make tough decisions easier. It can also be extraordinarily helpful to connect through support groups and survivor networks with the millions of other women who have struggled with these same dilemmas. Even the strongest, most self-reliant woman can benefit from sharing her fears and concerns in order to make the transition from feeling damaged to feeling healed.
Brian Higginson, R.D., C.D., Clinical Nutrition Specialist, Swedish Cancer Institute
Many factors can influence the development of cancer. Genetics, environment, lifestyle and diet are all thought to be major contributing factors. Because of the variety of influences, as well as the wide range of types of cancer, it is difficult to generalize and pinpoint the exact combination of factors that may cause cancer to develop or reoccur. It is safe to say, however, that most people who have experienced cancer want to know what they can do to reduce their risk of recurrence.
Although we cannot change our genetic makeup and it may be difficult to control environmental factors, we can control the foods we eat. For years researchers have studied foods and tried to link them to the development of cancer. Recently, there have been numerous reports about "superfoods," but there is limited evidence that any one food is able to protect us all from cancer.
Research has, however, identified one villain that naturally occurs in our bodies – the free radical. Our bodies have a love/hate relationship with free radicals. We need these molecules to keep our bodies functioning and to help protect against infections. But, free radicals are unstable molecules that are constantly trying to become stable by grabbing their missing components from normal, healthy cells. When our bodies have too many free radicals, they can damage or kill healthy cells and tissues, and even damage or change our DNA, which can lead to cancer. How we live and what we eat can determine the level of free radicals in our bodies. Consuming too much meat, processed foods and alcohol, and smoking and stress are among the contributing factors to high levels of free radicals.
Fight Hard by Eating Well
To increase the consumption of potential anti-cancer compounds and to provide our bodies with the tools to keep our free radicals under control, we should eat a variety of foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, and we should focus on unprocessed foods. Foods that have not been processed retain more of their naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are the weapon of choice in the battle to neutralize our free radicals when they are out of control.
There are many foods that contain anti-oxidants. In addition to fruits and vegetables, anti-oxidants are in beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole grains (oats, brown rice, whole wheat, and more exotic grains like quinoa and kamut). Many organizations, including the American Cancer Society and the American Institute for Cancer Research, recommend we increase the vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants we consume by filling at least three-fourths of our meal plate with plant-based foods.
The more well-known vitamins and nutrients found in plants, such as vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, selenium and lycopene are widely recognized for their anti-oxidant capabilities. There are many plant compounds, however, that have not been isolated, identified, purified or extensively studied. For example, ginger and curry, which are frequently used in Asian-style cuisine, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory qualities. There is also evidence of a correlation between the color of fruits and vegetables and the level of anti-oxidants; therefore, it is better to eat those that are bright colors. There are many excellent and beneficial choices, including red and yellow peppers, citrus fruits, spinach, kale, Swiss chard, broccoli, blueberries, strawberries, sweet potato, papaya and mango – to name just a few.
A good rule of thumb to be sure you are giving your cells a fighting chance against your free radicals: include a fruit and/or vegetable with every meal and snack you eat every day. Remember, your mother may not have known the science behind her frequent admonition – but she was spot on when she told you, "Be sure to eat your fruits and vegetables."
Surviving cancer is a complex journey that is as unique as the individuals who are receiving treatment or supporting a loved one. It is a journey of the mind, the body and the spirit. Although it begins abruptly on the day you receive your diagnosis, the end of the journey is not so well defined.
For many cancer survivors, each day of treatment represents one step closer to the end of their cancer journey. The last day of treatment is an accomplishment to be celebrated. It is also a milestone that opens the door to the next phase of life, which may bring with it different, although related, physical and emotional issues.
Swedish Medical Center is pleased to offer a special three-part class, Life after Treatment, to help cancer survivors, and their friends and families, make this important transition.
The class, which is offered at no cost to participants, includes opportunities for individuals to share their own experiences, and to hear about and discuss various survivorship topics. Topics include recent research on the challenges cancer survivors may face and the strategies to deal with those challenges, how to lead an "anti-cancer" lifestyle, and the process of healing the whole person.
Those who attend the class learn how to create an action plan that will help them through their transition. Multiple resources are also made available to participants, including published materials, an up-to-date reading list, websites and information about organizations that provide support.

A network of volunteers uses knitting as a healing experience to enhance the lives of cancer patients, their families and caregivers. The group provides a supportive environment for beginning and experienced knitters. Materials are provided. The group meets Mondays, from 6-8 p.m., on Swedish Cherry Hill campus, and on Thursdays, from 1-3 p.m. on Swedish First Hill campus.
There are many different types of cancer - and cancer patients come in different sizes, shapes, genders and ethnic backgrounds. And, yet, there is one trait that is fairly common among all of them – the desire to seek information so they can become more knowledgeable about their disease and their treatment options.
The Swedish Cancer Institute is pleased to offer patients, family members and caregivers a variety of classes and workshops at no cost to the participants. There are art and craft classes, as well as sessions that focus on exercise, nutrition, beauty, meditation, and an assortment of other topics that are geared to healing the mind, the body and the spirit.
Registration is required. To learn more about the variety of classes, and their schedules and locations, or to register for a class, please go online to www.swedish.org/classes, or call 206-386-2502.
