Paying the Price: Going to Jail for Chiropractic
By Christopher Kent, DC, Esq.
While a colleague and I were enjoying a meal together, we discussed some of the current challenges facing the chiropractic profession. An observation he made completely changed the direction of our conversation: "Today's chiropractors were born on third base, and somehow think they hit a triple."
Many chiropractors today face challenges in their quest to realize the vision of worldwide leadership of health care with the chiropractic model, including attempts to limit the availability of chiropractic care. Such challenges range from economic disincentives by third‑party payers to regulatory abuses, political attacks on the profession, bogus claims about the purported dangers of chiropractic care, and the promulgation of questionable practice parameters.
Yet the challenges we face today pale compared to those that confronted chiropractors who went before us. As we approach a new year, it is fitting to remember those courageous chiropractors who went to jail rather than abandon their principles, goals and moral values.
The first chiropractor to be incarcerated for practicing medicine without a license was the founder himself, D.D. Palmer. A 1906 newspaper article chronicles an interview with D.D. at the Scott County Jail, where he was confined in an 8x11 foot cell. The court offered him the alternative of paying a fine; D.D. chose jail, stating, "After I went to jail, several parties phoned to my home and others called offering to lend me money with which to pay my fine. I am not in cell for lack of principal but for an abundance of principle."
The resolve of the discoverer becomes clear when the interviewer writes, "Dr. Palmer states he is treated well by all the jail officials and has no complaint to make. 'Only one thing I would like to do which they will not allow me,' stated the doctor, 'that is to hang out my sign over the window to my cell … As long as my wife and son [stand] by me, I will be patient and remain contented.'"1
Other early chiropractors did not fare as well while serving time, and the sentences were sometimes harsh. Callender noted: "In 1923, B.F. Lear and W.E. Quartier were fined $500 or 833 days in jail, the maximum sentence for a first offense. They chose the Trumbull county jail in Warren, Ohio."2 If you do the math, that's more than two years.
Jail life could be severe. Another chiropractor, W.D. Adrian, was sentenced to 500 days. A portion of a letter from Morgan County Jail reads, "We see an occasional rat, but all the bugs apparently were killed last summer in a big raid on the jail. I could stand some springs or a mattress on the bars I sleep on, but outside of this and the disagreeable dispositions of some of the prisoners, I am getting along nicely."3
The 1923 Palmer Lyceum was dedicated to those who served jail time for chiropractic. Callender quotes Mac Searby: "It takes a real man, a real woman to go to jail. Some are parted from their families; little baby fingers and arms and lips are far away when bedtime comes. Mother is worrying. Sunshine is nowhere behind the bars except in the hearts of these boys and girls, and the least of their worries is that their business is all shot to pieces. They have cut themselves off from every tie, every support that the free man has, and they have gone back to the cells again when the test came a second time."2
It is not always easy to behave heroically. It is far easier to blend in with the status quo; to not rock the boat, than to trade short‑term expediency for a greater vision. Herbert Ross Reaver, DC, recognized by some as the profession's most jailed chiropractor, wrote, "It was a matter of principle for all of us. We don't practice medicine in any shape or form. To be designated as limited medical practitioners was something intolerable to us. And, of course, it was a useless thing anyway because the so‑called permit limited the types of cases we could handle. It was just something that any chiropractor with any guts could not accept."4
Some paid the ultimate price. Consider the following obituary: "Dr. Albert Ivnik, chiropractor, Cleveland, Ohio, died yesterday at seven P.M. He never recovered from the effects of the exposure at Warrensville Workhouse, and has been in bed from time to time since resuming his practice in February, and finally passed away last night."5
Keating noted that according to Turner, "by 1931 it was estimated the DCs had collectively undergone 15,000 prosecutions (Turner 1931), although there were probably no more than 12,000 chiropractors in practice in that era."6 Arrests continued until 1974, when Louisiana became the 50th state to license chiropractors.7
In accepting the 2004 Lee‑Homewood Award, Russell Gibbons said, "The right to health‑care freedom somehow took its place along with those movements that had characterized the story of progressive reform in America. Jailing of chiropractors and the struggle that this represented would become part of the process of building a better nation by the abolitionists, the suffragettes, the labor movement, the civil rights struggle – all of which would have a larger meaning and understanding after that simple act of defiance outside a county jail."8
Consider what impact one courageous person can accomplish. When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in 1955, she changed the course of history. How easy it would have been for her to "fit in" and accept things as they'd been done in the past, regardless of how insulting, and without consideration for the future.
Thankfully, we are not asked to give our lives for chiropractic. As guardians of our "sacred trust," we are, however, expected to act heroically in practicing, teaching, and defending the profession, and those it serves.

Blues Traveler drummer Ben Wilson never went to the Michigan State Fair when he was growing up in Ann Arbor, so before tonight's show he will hopefully be able to chow down on a corn dog and some elephant ears. In an interview with The Tribune, Wilson, 44, said that some of his first exposure to live music came from small art fairs and bands that would travel through town catering to University of Michigan students. In fact, some of his first performances were at frat parties. The bluesy rock band is now 25 years old, and celebrated its anniversary earlier this year with the release of a two-album compilation of its greatest hits (such as "Hook," "But Anyway," and "Run-Around") and rarities, and also released a new album, "Suzie Cracks the Whip," in June. Former "American Idol" finalist Crystal Bowersox sang on one song off the new album, even though Wilson said he had never heard of her until she came into the studio. Apparently, he is not an "American Idol" fan, even now having had a positive experience with an alum. "There is probably a zero-percent chance I'll watch [Idol] this season," he said. OK, then.

text: I was stringing a racket the other day with my shirt off (I live in a very hot climate). I was pulling it around 30kg as I like my tension tight. This strings I had were Pro Hurricane tour but I get them from China so I am a little suspicious (although they do feel reasonably good). Anyways as I'm pulling on the mains, the string just snaps, flies back and as I was standing in the line of fire whips me on the abdominals, drawing blood. I also have a nice red line down my torso where the string hit me. Pretty dangerous, had I bent down to get something it could well have blinded me. This happened to anyone else?

Darren Lill (Fly V Australia) won the final stage of the SRAM Tour of the Gila on Sunday, after attacking his breakaway companions 16 miles from the finish and riding alone to finish six seconds ahead of a chase group.
Levi Leipheimer (Mellow Johnny's) came in a few seconds later, securing his second overall win at the New Mexican stage race.
Tom Danielson (DZ Nuts) held on to his second-place overall at the race, which served as a Tour of California training week for a handful of top riders.
Lill said he had doubts about going in the day's big move, having felt less than stellar in the early going at the Gila.
"The first few days here at Gila I was just feeling a little bit tired," he said. "But I didn't let it get me down. I just knew that I'd had a bad day, and that today's stage was going to be more of a decider, and more suited to me, with a whole bunch of climbs rather than just one 20-minute effort at the end of a fairly easy day.
"I wasn't 100 percent sure about going in the move or not today. It was one of those things where you're not sure if it's going to work out or not, and a lot depends on the composition of the guys in the break. On the first few rollers of the stage I saw a fairly strong move forming, and managed to ride across with a few guys. I was happy to see Burke Swindlehurst there and a number of other strong guys, and I knew that if we had cohesion, we had a chance."
Danielson, meanwhile, showed he is in top form ahead of California with a blistering attack that briefly shed Lance Armstrong (Mellow Johnny's) from the lead chase group on the climb from the Gila Cliff Dwellings, leaving Leipheimer without a teammate on the tough climb.
"I really wanted to be aggressive if I was going to have a shot of winning the race," said Danielson. "I needed to isolate Levi, maybe with another guy who was high on GC. My goal was to have the team make the race hard. Then I went on the climb, but it was a lot of headwind, and it was difficult to drop the other guys I was with.
"So it was me, Levi, (Phil) Zajicek and (Rory) Sutherland. Those guys decided that it wasn't a good move for them, but that was what I needed, I needed those guys with me so we could all start attacking Levi once we were over the climb. I asked them if they would participate, and they said yeah, but once we were over the climb they all said 'No, I can't.'
"It would have been good. All of us had teammates in the breakaway, and that was the goal, to get across to the breakaway. We got within a minute and a half out of the Gila Monster; we would have caught them on the next climb. We had a good gap on the guys behind, and Levi was isolated without Lance. Zajicek had Lill, and Sutherland had some guys as well.
"It would have been a good move to go across to that and hit Levi there. I can't say I didn't try. I tried."
With Lill up the road, Zajicek said, "I couldn't ride. It's too bad, I was feeling good, I would have liked to have driven it, but with Lill up the road it was perfect for us. So I just sat on them. There was a big re-grouping. Lance rode really well, until about 5km to go, and then Levi took over. But at that point the break was going to stay away, and Lill was solo, so I knew it was perfect for us."
It was the second year that a Fly V rider has won the mountainous final stage, called the Gila Monster. The team scored another honor when Zajicek moved onto the podium into third place by outsprinting the chase group and taking a handful of seconds from Dave Zabriskie (DZ Nuts), who had held that position.
(Editor's Note: The most recent complete results released to the press still show Zabriskie in third, but two officials at the finish line told VeloNews that the results would be revised to show Zajicek in third. Also, Team Bissell's Robert Britton protested the stage results and a team member told VeloNews that the results are being revised to show Britton was second on the stage, ahead of UnitedHealthcare's Max Jenkins. We will post the revised official results when available.)
Armstrong, who rejoined the elite chase group after Danielson's attack, impressed many by powering the pursuit for about 20km, pulling Leipheimer closer to Lill and the remnants of the breakaway.
"I was trying to get Levi alone and drop Lance," Zabriskie said. "We tried to attack, attack, attack, and win the race, but it didn't work out. Lance was very good today, I have to say that."
Leipheimer also praised his teammate for the hard work he did during the finale.
"I really wish I could have been aggressive, but I know the smart thing to do is play it conservative and wait for Lance to come back," said Leipheimer. "He came back, he rode the downhill, and he was really good on the last climb, nobody attacked. He pulled the last 15 miles, which was rolling.
"We thought the time gap was two minutes, which was no problem, but then all of a sudden Johan said Lill had 3:28, and we were concerned. So Lance did his last pull and with five miles to go I took over and decided I needed to make sure the time gap wasn't that close. As I'm pulling they came up with the board and it said two minutes flat, I don't know, I just went for it, because you never know if the time gaps are right or not."
The effort took its toll, said RadioShack boss Johan Bruyneel. But it was expected, and good training, he added.
"We knew it was going to be hard on us," said Bruyneel. "We had hoped some other teams would not have been represented and would have to work with us, but that wasn't the case. So it was up to us to control and set the pace.
"We had planned that Jason had to do the beginning of the stage, and we hoped he could get over that first big climb, but there were some attacks, and from early on it was Lance and Levi by themselves. From then on it was Lance that had to control the stage, and that was very difficult, for one rider to control a whole bunch and a breakaway of more than 10 riders.
"But ultimately it was okay. Lance did a good job, he worked a lot. The intention was to come here and do a lot of hard work, and that's what he did. We're definitely leaving on a positive note. First of all because we won the race. Secondly, because our development team won two stages, that's a good thing. And lastly, because Lance did a lot of good work. He basically finished cross-eyed at the end, which is a good thing. That was the purpose of coming here. So we're going home with a good feeling."
In the women's race Cath Cheatley (Colavita-Baci) joined race leader Mara Abbott (Peanut Butter & Co.-Twenty12) off the front on the Sapillo. The two worked together over the final up-and-down miles and Cheatley took the win nine seconds ahead of Abbott.
Abbott won her second Gila overall (her first was in 2007) on the strength of climbing on the first and last stage. Stage 3 time trial winner Alison Powers (Vera Bradley Foundation) was third on the stage, 1:41 behind Cheatley, and retained her second place on the overall standings.
Last year, Powers also was second, behind Kristin Armstrong, now Abbott's team director.

text: If anyone had told me a few years ago that I would covet vintage sewing machines.....well, I'd have most definitely told them they were crazy. But then on 24 Dec 2010 I finally managed to come out on the winning end of an auction on ebay and bought a 1952 featherweight. I'd heard so many folks through the years say how great they stitched so I decided to try one. I bid on FWs for 3 months until that winning night. I figured I got lucky as it was christmas eve and most folks would be celebrating with family. I have a spouse and fur kids and not much else.....so it proved to be the luck I needed to finally become an owner of a FW. Sadly, the person I bought my FW from must have been from some remote planet as his packaging job caused my FW to arrive severely damaged. He of course refused to even reimburse me for parts.....so you guessed it....back to ebay to buy parts, then of course another machine, then another.....well, I have a dozen 221s and one 222. What I've been hoping to find now are a singer treadle and a hand crank. My favorite decal is the Lotus. So, that's what's on my wish list. How bout telling me about what's on yours?

Rap Genius co-founder Mahbod Moghadam resigns after Elliot Rodger comments
Mahbod Moghadam, co-founder of the popular lyrics website Rap Genius, has resigned from the company following controversial comments regarding the manifesto of Santa Barbara gunman Elliot Rodger.
Moghadam wrote a series of annotations on a version of Rodger's manifesto uploaded to Rap Genius, stating that parts were "beautifully written" and saying that he guessed Rodger's sister was "smoking hot".
The company announced the departure in a blog post on its website.
"In light of this, Mahbod has resigned – both in his capacity as an employee of the company, and as a member of our board of directors, effective immediately," wrote Tom Lehman, co-founder and chief executive of Rap Genius.
Technology news website Re/Code reported that Moghadam was fired after pressure from the company's investors.
TechCrunch reported that it wasn't the first time Moghadam had said something controversial.
In an interview, Moghadam reportedly told start-up newsletter WakeField that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg could "suck my d--k".
Moghadam made the comment after Zuckerberg requested a photo Moghadam posted to Instagram of Zuckerberg, rapper Nas and investor Ben Horowitz be taken down.
Moghadam later blamed the outburst on a brain tumour he unknowingly had growing inside him, which he said was making him mean.
Moghadam posted an apology to Twitter on Monday, although he did not specify the exact reason for it.
"I want to apologise to everyone," he tweeted. "I need to hear these criticisms, reflect for real, and work on becoming a better person."
Moghadam also released a statement to Valleywag after his comments received widespread attention.
"I was fascinated by the fact that a text was associated with such a heartbreaking crime, especially since Elliot is talking about my neighbourhood growing up," he said.
"I got carried away with making the annotations and making any comment about his sister was in horrible taste, thankfully the Rap Genius community edits out my poor judgement, I am very sorry for writing it."
Rap Genius did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The New York-based company, which was formed in 2009 by two Yale graduates, has attracted $US15 million in investment to date.

This past weekend the talented townspeople of Buffalo put on quite a show again to help raise funds to benefit the Susie Bowling Lawrence Hospice at the Johnson County Healthcare Center.
The variety show, which is put on every two years in Buffalo, features many talented people volunteering their performances that range from singing, dancing and comedy to the outright strange and different.
This year's performances were Friday and Saturday night at the BHS auditorium and played to full houses both nights.
BHS Music Instructor Chad Rose, accompanied by Julie Silbernagel on piano, gave a crowd-pleasing performance of "Stars" from Les Miserables.
Comedy skits, fun commentary from the three judges for the show: Steve Reimann, Rose Harriet and Dave Hall, and good-natured "ribbing" of some residents and each other from the Masters of Ceremony Jim Hicks and Dennis Kirven kept the crowd entertained.
Also performing was the Moldovan musical group La Taifas Quartet who gave a concert and dance after the show in the BHS Commons area.
The next Hospice Variety show will be performed in 2015.

General Information About Depression
Depression is different from normal sadness.
Depression is not simply feeling sad. Depression is a disorder with specific symptoms that can be diagnosed and treated. About one-fourth of cancer patients become depressed. The numbers of men and women affected are about the same.
A person diagnosed with cancer faces many stressful issues. These may include:
- Fear of death.
- Changes in life plans.
- Changes in body image and self-esteem.
- Changes in day to day living.
- Money and legal concerns.
Sadness and grief are normal reactions to a cancer diagnosis. A person with cancer may also have:
- Feelings of disbelief, denial, or despair.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Loss of appetite.
- Anxiety or worry about the future.
Not everyone who is diagnosed with cancer reacts in the same way. Some cancer patients may not have depression or anxiety, while others may have high levels of both.
Signs that you have adjusted to the cancer diagnosis and treatment include being able to stay active in daily life and continue in your roles such as:
- Spouse.
- Parent.
- Employee.
This summary is mainly about depression in adults with cancer. There is a section at the end of the summary about depression in children with cancer.
Some cancer patients may have a higher risk of depression.
There are known risk factors for depression after a cancer diagnosis. Factors that increase the risk of depression are not always related to the cancer.
- Risk factors related to cancer
Risk factors related to cancer that may cause depression include the following:
- Learning you have cancer when you are already depressed for other reasons.
- Having cancer pain that is not well controlled.
- Having advanced cancer.
- Being physically weakened by the cancer.
- Being unmarried (for certain types of cancer).
- Having pancreatic cancer.
- Taking certain medicines, such as:
- Risk factors not related to cancer
Risk factors not related to cancer that may cause depression include the following:
- A personal or family history of depression or suicide.
- A personal history of alcoholism or drug abuse.
- A personal history of mental problems.
- A weak social support system (not being married, having few family members or friends, having a job where you work alone).
- Stress caused by life events other than the cancer.
- Health problems that are known to cause depression (such as stroke or heart attack).
There are many medical conditions that can cause depression.
Medical conditions that may cause depression include the following:
- Pain that doesn't go away with treatment.
- Anemia.
- Fever.
- Abnormal levels of calcium, sodium, or potassium in the blood.
- Not enough vitamin B12 or folate in your diet.
- Too much or too little thyroid hormone.
- Too little adrenal hormone.
- Side effects of certain medicines.
Depression and anxiety are common in patients whose cancer is advanced and can no longer be treated.
Patients whose cancer can no longer be treated often feel depressed and anxious. These feelings can lower the quality of life. Terminally ill patients who are depressed report being troubled about:
- Symptoms.
- Relationships.
- Beliefs about life.
Depressed terminally ill patients feel they are "being a burden" even when they don't depend very much on others.
Family members also have a risk of depression.
Anxiety and depression are also common in family members caring for loved ones with cancer. Children are affected when a parent with cancer is depressed and may have emotional and behavioral problems themselves.
Good communication helps. Family members who talk about feelings and solve problems are more likely to have lower levels of anxiety and depression.
Diagnosis of Depression
Major depression has specific symptoms that last longer than two weeks.
It's normal to feel sad after learning you have cancer, but a diagnosis of depression depends on more than being unhappy. Symptoms of depression include the following:
- Feeling sad most of the time.
- Loss of pleasure and interest in activities you used to enjoy.
- Changes in eating and sleeping habits.
- Nervousness.
- Slow physical and mental responses.
- Unexplained tiredness.
- Feeling worthless.
- Feeling guilt for no reason.
- Not being able to pay attention.
- Frequent thoughts of death or suicide.
Your doctor will talk with you to find out if you have symptoms of depression.
Your doctor wants to know how you are feeling and may want to discuss the following:
- The normal feelings cancer patients have. Talking with your doctor about this may help you see if your feelings are normal sadness or more serious.
- Your moods. You may be asked to rate your mood on a scale.
- How long the symptoms have lasted.
- How the symptoms affect your daily life, such as your relationships, your work, and your ability to enjoy your usual activities.
- All the medicines you are taking and other treatments you are receiving. Sometimes, side effects of medicines or the cancer can look like symptoms of depression. This is more likely during active cancer treatment or advanced cancer.
This information will help you and your doctor find out if you are feeling normal sadness or have a depressive disorder.
Checking for depression may be repeated at times when stress increases, such as when cancer gets worse or comes back after treatment.
Physical exams, mental exams, and lab tests are used to diagnose depression.
In addition to talking with you, your doctor may do the following to check for depression:
- Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of your health habits, past illnesses including depression, and treatments will also be taken. A physical exam can help rule out a physical condition that may be causing your symptoms.
- Laboratory tests: Medical procedures that test samples of tissue, blood, urine, or other substances in the body. These tests help to diagnose disease, plan and check treatment, or monitor the disease over time.Lab tests are done to rule out a medical condition that may be causing symptoms of depression.
- Mental status exam: An exam done to get a general idea of your mental state by checking the following:
- How you look and act.
- Your mood.
- Your speech.
- Your memory.
- How well you pay attention and understand simple concepts.
Treatment of Depression
The decision to treat depression depends on how long it has lasted and how much it affects your life.
If you cannot adjust to the cancer diagnosis after a long time and you have lost interest in your usual activities, you may have depression that needs to be treated. Treatment of depression may include medicines, talk therapy, or both.
Treatment of major depression usually includes medicine.
It's important to use antidepressants only under the care of a doctor.
Antidepressants help relieve depression and its symptoms. When you are taking antidepressants, it's important that they are used under the care of a doctor. You may be treated with a number of medicines during your cancer care. Some anticancer medicines may not mix safely with certain antidepressants or with certain foods, herbals, or nutritional supplements. It's important to tell your healthcare providers about all the medicines, herbals, and nutritional supplements you are taking, including medicines used as patches on the skin. This can help prevent unwanted reactions.
Many antidepressants take from 3 to 6 weeks to work. Usually, you begin at a low dose that is slowly increased to find the right dose for you. This helps to avoid side effects.
Check with your doctor before you stop taking an antidepressant. You may need to slowly reduce the dose of some types of antidepressants. This is to prevent side effects you may have if you suddenly stop taking the medicine.
There are different types of antidepressants.
Most antidepressants help treat depression by changing the levels of chemicals called neurotransmitters in the brain. Nerves use these chemicals to send messages to one another. Increasing the amount of these chemicals helps to improve mood. The different types of antidepressants act on these chemicals in different ways and have different side effects.
Three types of antidepressants are commonly used to treat depression in patients with cancer:
- SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors): Medicines that increase the brain chemical serotonin.
- Tricyclic antidepressants: Medicines that increase the brain chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine.
- Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants: Medicines that increase the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine.
There are other types of antidepressants that may be used:
- Bupropion.
- Venlafaxine.
- Trazodone.
- Mirtazapine.
- Benzodiazepines.
- Psychostimulants.
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
The antidepressant that is best for you depends on the following:
- Your symptoms.
- Your medical problems.
- Possible side effects of the antidepressant.
- The form of medicine you are able to take (such as a pill or a liquid).
- Other medicines you are taking.
- How you responded to antidepressants in the past.
St. John's wort may change the way some of your other medicines work.
St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is an herbal product sold as an over-the-counter treatment for depression. St. John's wort has not been proven to be better than standard antidepressant medicines. Many studies have been done to compare St. John's wort with antidepressants, placebo (inactive) medicines, or both, and have shown mixed results.
Be sure to talk with your doctor before taking St. John's wort. It may change the way some of your other medicines work, including anticancer medicines. Also, there are no standards for companies that make St. John's wort, so the amount of active ingredient may be different in each brand.
Counseling or talk therapy helps some cancer patients with depression.
Your doctor may suggest you see a psychologist or psychiatrist for the following reasons:
- Your depression is getting worse.
- The depression keeps you from continuing with your cancer treatment.
- The antidepressants you are taking are causing unwanted side effects.
- Your symptoms have been treated for 2 to 4 weeks and are not getting better.
Most counseling or talk therapy programs for depression are offered in both individual and small-group settings. Some of these include:
More than one type of therapy program may be right for you. Therapy programs for cancer patients teach about the following:
- Cancer and its treatment.
- Relaxation skills and ways to lower stress.
- Coping and problem-solving skills.
- Getting rid of negative thoughts.
- Social support.
Patients in therapy often form a close personal bond with an understanding health care provider. Talking with a clergy member may also be helpful for some people.
Suicide Risk in Patients with Cancer
It's common for cancer patients to feel hopeless at times.
Cancer patients sometimes feel hopeless. Although few cancer patients are reported to die by suicide, talk with your doctor if you feel hopeless or have thoughts of suicide. There are ways your doctor can help you. Getting treatment for major depression has been shown to lower the risk of suicide in cancer patients.
Risk factors for suicide may be related to the cancer or other conditions.
General risk factors for suicide include the following:
- A history of mental problems, especially those that cause you to act without thinking.
- A family history of suicide.
- A history of suicide attempts.
- Depression or feeling hopeless.
- Drug or alcohol abuse.
- Recent death of a friend or spouse.
- Few friends or little family support.
Risk factors that are related to cancer include the following:
- A diagnosis of oral, throat, or lung cancer.
- Advanced stage cancer and poor prognosis.
- Confusion or being unable to think clearly.
- Pain that is not relieved with treatment.
- Physical changes such as the following:
- Being unable to walk and move around on your own.
- Loss of bowel and bladder control.
- Loss of a limb (amputation).
- Loss of eyesight or hearing.
- Paralysis.
- Being unable to eat or swallow.
- Extreme tiredness.
An assessment is done to find the reasons for hopeless feelings or thoughts of suicide.
Talking about thoughts of suicide with your doctor gives you a chance to describe your feelings and fears, and may help you feel more in control. Your doctor will try to find out what is causing your hopeless feelings, such as:
- Symptoms that are not well controlled.
- Fear of having a painful death.
- Fear of being alone during your cancer experience.
You can find out what may be done to help relieve your emotional and physical pain.
Controlling symptoms caused by cancer and cancer treatment is an important goal in preventing suicide.
Having constant discomfort or pain can cause you to feel desperate. Keeping pain and other symptoms under control will help to:
- Relieve distress.
- Make you feel more comfortable.
- Prevent thoughts of suicide.
Treatment may include antidepressants. Some antidepressants take a few weeks to work. The doctor may prescribe other medicines that work quickly to relieve distress until the antidepressant begins to work. Patients usually are given only a small number of doses at a time. For your safety, it's important to have frequent contact with a health care professional and avoid being alone until your symptoms are controlled. Your health care team can help you find social support.
Losing a loved one to suicide is especially hard for the family and friends.
The shock and grief felt after the loss of a loved one to suicide is very difficult. Family members and others who loved the patient may feel like they have been left or rejected. They may feel guilty or angry or they may feel responsible for the suicide. Talking with a professional or a support group can be very helpful for family members and others who loved the patient. Support groups can:
- Offer friendship.
- Give you time to talk about feelings.
- Help you find ways to cope with the loss.
It may help just to know that these feelings are felt by others.
Palliative Sedation
Sedation may be considered for comfort.
Patients with advanced cancer or near the end of life may have:
- A lot of emotional distress and physical pain.
- Difficult and painful breathing.
- Confusion (especially when body systems begin to fail).
Sedation can be given to ease these conditions. This is called palliative sedation. Deciding to use palliative sedation may be difficult for the family as well as the patient. The patient and family can get support from the health care team and mental health professionals when palliative sedation is used.
Choices about care and treatment at the end of life should be made while you are still able to make them.
Your thoughts and feelings about end-of-life sedation may depend on your own culture and beliefs. Some patients who become anxious facing the end of life may want to be sedated. Other patients may wish to have no procedures, including sedation, just before death.It is important for you to tell family members and health care providers of your wishes about sedation at the end of life. When you make your wishes about sedation known ahead of time, doctors and family members can be sure they're doing what you would want.
Depression in Children
Most children cope well with cancer. A small number of children may have:
- Depression.
- Anxiety.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Problems getting along with family or friends.
- Problems staying on treatment.
These problems can affect the child's cancer treatment and enjoyment of life. Children with severe late effects from cancer treatment may be more likely to have symptoms of depression. A mental health specialist can help children with depression.
Assessment for depression includes looking at the child's symptoms, behavior, and health history.
As in adults, normal sadness in children is not depression. Depression lasts longer and has specific symptoms. The doctor may assess the child for depression if a behavior problem goes on for a long time. To assess for depression, the doctor will need the following information about the child:
- Home life with family.
- How the child faces illness and treatment.
- Age and stage of development.
- Past illnesses and how the child responded to them.
- Sense of self-worth.
- Behavior, as seen by the parents, teachers, or others.
The doctor will talk with the child and may use a set of questions or a checklist that helps to diagnose depression in children.
A diagnosis of depression depends on the symptoms and how long they have lasted.
Children who are depressed have an unhappy mood and at least 4 of the following symptoms every day for 2 weeks or longer:
- Appetite changes.
- Not sleeping or sleeping too much.
- Being unable to relax and be still (such as pacing, fidgeting, and pulling at clothing).
- Frequent crying.
- Loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities.
- Lack of emotion in children younger than 6 years.
- Feeling very tired or having little energy.
- Feelings of worthlessness, blame, or guilt.
- Unable to think or pay attention and frequent daydreaming.
- Refusing to go to school.
- Trouble learning and getting along with others.
- Aggressive behavior.
- Anger towards self, parents, and teachers.
- Frequent thoughts of death or suicide.
Treatment may be therapy or medicine.
Talk therapy is the main treatment for depression in children.
Individual and group talk therapy are the main treatments for depression in children. This may include play therapy for younger children. Therapy will help the child cope with feelings of depression and also understand the cancer and its treatment.
Medicines for depression may be used with care.
The doctor may prescribe antidepressants for children with severe depression and anxiety. Children taking antidepressants must be watched closely.SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are a type of antidepressant that usually have few side effects. However, in some children, teenagers, and young adults, SSRIs make depression worse or cause thoughts of suicide. The Food and Drug Administration has warned that patients younger than age 25 who are taking SSRIs should be watched closely for signs that the depression is getting worse and for suicidal thinking or behavior. This is especially important during the first 4 to 8 weeks of treatment.

Changes to This Summary (02/12/2014)
The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Editorial changes were made to this summary.
About This PDQ Summary
About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about cancer-related depression and suicide risk in both the adult and the pediatric population. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Supportive and Palliative Care Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

However, with more legal challenges expected, the state is likely months away from killing a condemned prisoner for the first time since 2005.
The attorney general's office expects some of the state's 37 death row inmates to challenge the new law.
"We don't know when the inmates will choose to file their lawsuit, but we are prepared for them to file it and we will be ready when they do," Chief Deputy Attorney General Brad Phelps said.
Two days after Gov. Mike Beebe signed the new execution legislation into law, no new execution dates had been set on Friday, meaning the state doesn't have any pending executions. For that to change, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel would have to notify Beebe that inmates' court challenges have run their course and ask him to schedule executions.
Phelps, the chief deputy attorney general, would not say which of the eight inmates who have exhausted their appeals would be the first to have an execution date.
"I'm not prepared to commit who will be first or who will be last," Phelps said. "There are eight who are eligible to have their sentences carried out and we intend to work very diligently to make sure those are carried out."
The Arkansas Supreme Court in June deemed a 2009 lethal injection law unconstitutional, saying the Legislature had given the Department of Correction "unfettered discretion" to figure out the protocol and procedures for executions, including the chemicals to be used.
What Beebe signed Wednesday spells out in greater detail the procedures that must be followed. However, some lawmakers expressed concerns that the law fails to address issues that led the court to overturn the previous one.
The new law says the state must use a lethal dose of a barbiturate, but leaves it up to the Department of Correction to determine which drug. So far, that agency hasn't rushed into selecting a drug.
"It's not like we're chomping at the bit for another execution. They're difficult," Department of Correction spokeswoman Dina Tyler said. "But if it's going to be the law of the land we have to have a way to carry it out."
It seems like it will be months or longer before that happens, but no one knows for sure.
"It could be that we have an execution sometime within the next three months and it could be that we don't have an execution within the next three years. We don't know," Tyler said.
For now, Jeff Rosenzweig, who represents death row inmates, said he and other attorneys who handle death row cases are reviewing the new law.
"I would anticipate that any challenges would be done fairly quickly," Rosenzweig said.

I dont know what it is but i have this feeling that this series will go to game 7.
Previously, Dantoni was not able to fire up this team but i feel as if a game 1 beating will light a fire under these guys, especially with the flopping.
You can see it on the players' faces. Dissatisfaction on Tyson Chandler's face, shock and anger on Melo's.
These guys have to show some pride, right?

Sandra Bullock's other half seems to be finally moving on.
Motorcycle maven Jesse James was seen getting cozy in Los Vegas with "L.A. Ink" star Kat Von D, reports People.
The bad boy, who divorced with America's sweetheart in June after he admitted to committing serial adultery, enjoyed a meal with the tattooed reality starlet at N9NE at the Palms. They reportedly sat close and held hands throughout the meal before leaving in a Mercedes James was driving.
Reps for both James and Von D declined to comment.

OK, here goes - hope it doesn't take me all afternoon to get these pictures posted. BTW, I have been using iodized salt every time except the day of the class. Kathy at Tamarack Shack says she doesn't see any difference. i will use more just to see what it does.
This first picture shows a brown and yellow combination and also a Pink, Denim Blue and yellow.
Donna - I need a lesson on how to post several pictures with text between them. I am not achieving that today so will just wing it with individual pictures. Sorry!
Isn't the brown beautiful in the last picture? Agnes gave me a lesson on color saying that the denim blue we were using probably has a sienna brown in it as part of the mix and I lucked out and for some reason, captured it. Lee says to make a quilt out of it!
this next one is the Violet and pink and I did put some rubber bands on all three pieces - about 3 or 4 on each piece in various spots. I think I did the same with the blues
Also, the one with the blues and brown, I used only the Denim Blue and the Ocean Blue and that is why I was so surprised at the brown tones. Thanks to Agnes for clearing that up for me.
This one is just the Dark Green and I put three rows across the snow and then diluted it with water and added two more rows between the undiluted rows. Also rubber banded these 3 fabrics.
These are the bright pink and yellow = rubber banded and did the three rows of the pink and two of the yellow. Used all I had mixed and don't remember if I diluted it or not.
These are two narrow strips that I tried the immersion on after one of the first pink batches i did. I folded them differently - one lengthwise in 1" folds and then folded back and forth in 2" folds and put a rubber band on it - the other one was folded in 1" folds the whole length and then folded again and rubber banded.
This is Dark Brown on all three fabrics - no rubber bands - three rows of full strength and then filled in with two rows of diluted. I love all the various shades and designs.
The browns didn't photo well all - they are darker but still not as dark as I want so may have to really up the salt and dye. I think I will go and do another couple batches today if I think the snow between the sheds is usable. I may mix up the remaining dye I have and see what kind of a creation I can make. Have only four pieces of fabric to use until my Fabric Shack order comes in next week.
This last photo is of straight Ocean Blue - three rows across and then diluted for two rows. The one piece has a lot of a very pretty lavender and the other two have splotches of lavender on them.
Marge, I love them all, can't pick out a favorite. I must do some this week.
Chiliwist Valley
Marge your just dyeing up a storm aren't you...LOL! And, you are doing a great job of documenting exactly what you are doing with each batch. From what I can gather, that is very important...so you have some idea (clue) in the future how to get you to (or at least near) the result you want to achieve.
I think it is my well-water (very hard) that has thrown me. I have had some really weird results, so I need to see how this batch works with bottled water before I move forward.
I've also had problems with the Dk Brown Dylon dye powder. It was definitely a loose powder when I added it to the warm to tepid water, but it immediately formed into a hard lump that took forever to dissolve. (In fact, the lump never did completely dissolve.) This is the third time I have had this happen! This last time, I strained the liquid dye through a coffee filter to get any remaining crystals out of the liquid before I poured it over the snow. (I saw this suggestion on a website.) I don't know why I am having this problem! Thought it was because the water was too hot, but this time I made sure it was definitely only warm or even a little cooler...so I know that wasn't it. hmmmmm.... more thinking required. Any suggestions???
If I can't resolve this problem, I may go to the liquid dye formulas sooner rather than later...
Winthrop, WA
Marge, your fabrics are beautiful, can't wait to see what you'll do with them.
Millbury, MA
Marge, forgot to mention... BEAUTIFUL!!!! ALL OF THEM! Please bring on Monday so I can see in person!
I think you will need to do the May demo at our quilt-day...you are getting way ahead of me in experience on this.
DH will supply the snow, you will be the dye lady, and I will be your assistant...LOL!
Beautiful products Ladies! I can't wait to see how you use 'em. I was going to suggest Dhrma but I see you've already discovered them. Be sure to read their tutorials. DD and I snow dyed bamboo skarves last winter with OK results. We used Cheap dye from Walmart. I don't recommend it. They colors came out pastel and the texture was weak. I LOVE the hand of the bamboo tho... it's very fine, slightly drapey and creamy smooth.
Quilters are people who strip so they won't go topless.
Marge--So glad to see all your fabrics. Beautiful job.
Donna--Hard water usually has some form of iron in it. Believe it or not, one of the dyes used for mixing paint colors is iron oxide so you may be well onto something when you wonder whether it is causing interference. By the way, my best color lessons came from the seminars I attended when we were selling paint in the hardware store and then paying attention to some of the combinations that were used to create the beautiful colors customers choose from the color swatches. It never failed to amaze me how just a tiny squirt of something like the brown sienna or some of the others changed the color if it was ever forgotten.
Agnes in NW Ontario
Had dinner last evening at Dina's home. She was in the dye class with Donna, Marge and me. She lives up the valley. Looks like she will have enough snow for snow dyeing for another month.

Escape chute 'mayhem' revealed
The scenes after a Virgin Atlantic emergency landing, with passengers colliding at the bottom of escape chutes, have been described by air accident investigators.
Some passengers from the Virgin Airbus A330 aircraft fell on the tarmac at Gatwick airport, with two being seriously injured, said the report from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).
At one point, a t the bottom of one slide, a fireman tried to protect those already lying on the floor from those coming down the slide by lying across the bottom of the slide.
But the report showed that the emergency landing and the subsequent evacuation - leading to flights at Gatwick being suspended for two hours - had come after a faulty smoke detector generated "multiple spurious" smoke warnings.
The first of these warnings had come 15 minutes into the flight from Gatwick to Orlando in Florida on the morning of April 16 2012, with 13 crew and 304 passengers, including three infants, aboard. There were 15 warnings in all and captain decided to return to Gatwick.
But after the landing, subsequent inspection of the aircraft had found no evidence of fire, smoke or heat on the aircraft.
Immediately after the incident, passengers had told of "complete chaos" on board and "mayhem" as travellers piled on top of each other at the bottom of the emergency chutes, with 15 people being taken to hospital.
In today's report, the AAIB said the evacuation had "come as a surprise to the cabin crew".
The report went on: "Many passengers were seen to land awkwardly at the bottom of the slide and one lady was observed to fall on to the tarmac, after which passengers following collided into her.
"At one exit, the fireman at the bottom of the slide asked the crew to slow down the rate that passengers were leaving until the blockage at the bottom of the slide could be cleared.
"One man was injured at the bottom of a slide and was being attended by paramedics, which slowed the evacuation until he could be moved."
The report added that, according to the Gatwick rescue and firefighting service (RFFS), "a number of passengers landed awkwardly at the bottom of the slides and many toppled forward on to the concrete, suffering minor injuries".
The RFFS information in the report said: "Passengers on the slides were very close to each other and many did not have time to clear the area at the bottom of the slide before being hit by the following passenger.
"At the bottom of one slide, a fireman tried to protect those already lying on the floor from those coming down the slide by lying across the bottom of the slide."
The AAIB said the message that there was smoke in the cargo hold was misunderstood by air traffic controllers at Brest in France, and the message was "corrupted during onward transmission", leading to Gatwick's rescue and firefighting service positioning fire vehicles at the wrong end of the aircraft.
The report also said that cabin crew reported to the incorrect location on the runway, with the captain instructing them to stand down rather than stand by.
The AAIB said that one of the escape slides did not inflate properly, which meant that exit was unusable. The evacuation was completed in 109 seconds, with most passengers out within a minute.
The report also said there was confusion between the incident commander on the ground and the air traffic control watch manager over the correct status of the incident.
The report went on: "Consequently, there was a delay in passing a message to relevant emergency and support agencies that there had been an evacuation on the runway."
The AAIB made a number of safety recommendations including calling for visual aids to show passengers, including those with young children, how to use escape devices.
A Virgin Atlantic spokeswoman said today: "The safety of our passengers and crew is our top priority. We co-operated fully with the AAIB throughout the investigation and while the report makes no formal recommendations to the airline, we took many actions immediately after the event in order to identify any areas where we could enhance our procedures.
"Virgin Atlantic carries out all training to strict guidelines set by our regulators and we are very proud of the actions our crew took on the day. We would like to thank our customers for their co-operation during and after the event."

Squash Buyer's Guide
How to choose from seven easy-to-find types of squash
Although available all year, winter squash is best enjoyed during harvest season—late summer through early winter. Choose very hard squash: press firmly all over to make sure the rind isn't soft (a sign of immaturity or improper storage.) During harvest season, look for vivid colors—the skin color should not look washed out. Later in the year, after the squash has been stored, the skin color may fade as the flesh becomes sweeter. Regardless of the season, the skin should not look shiny—a sign that it's either underripe or that it's waxed, possibly masking bad quality. Choose squash with a remnant of the dried-out stem still attached, like a small knob at one end. A missing stem can be a sign of mold and bacteria growth inside. Store in a cool spot with good air circulation (not the refrigerator, but a cool pantry or cellar) for up to a month. If you buy precubed squash at your market, make sure the pieces are dry, firm and vivid in color. Avoid those that look wet or desiccated with sunken striations in the flesh.
Sorry, there haven't been any comments yet.

Kings to play Ducks at Dodger Stadium in 2014
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- The Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings will host the Anaheim Ducks at Dodger Stadium in a regular-season NHL game on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014, at 7 p.m. PT, as part of the Coors Light NHL Stadium Series.
"With their meeting in the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series, the Ducks and the Kings will write the next chapter in the exciting story of NHL hockey in Southern California," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a release. "At a venue that represents so much glorious sports history, this matchup of Stanley Cup champions will raise our outdoor initiatives to bold new heights. We know the game will be a treat for our fans, and we thank the Ducks, the Kings, Coors Light, Dodger Stadium and the Los Angeles Dodgers for bringing it to life."
"Dodger Stadium has been home to many unique and special moments over the past 51 years," said Dodgers president Stan Kasten. "We'll add another first in 2014 when the Dodger Stadium infield turns to ice as we host our first National Hockey League game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks."
Fans interested in receiving more information on ticketing, news and special offers around the event should register at www.NHL.com/2014LosAngeles.
The NHL's first outdoor game was an exhibition between the Kings and New York Rangers in the Caesars Palace parking lot in Las Vegas on Sept. 27, 1991. Played in 85-degree weather, more than 13,000 fans packed the stands to see the Kings defeat the Rangers, 5-2. Five of the six most watched regular-season NHL games in the U.S. in the past 38 years have been played outdoors.

Photographer's Note
Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru. Peru's third most-visited tourist destination with about 160,000 visitors annually, it's located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. It is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States at 13,650' (4,160 m.) depth, and it is promoted as the "world's deepest canyon," although the canyon's walls are not as vertical as those of the Grand Canyon. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with pre-Inca roots, and towns founded in Spanish colonial times, still inhabited by people of the Collagua and the Cabana cultures. The local people maintain their ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces.

Senior design project
Hello all. I have posted this on other forums as well but I am trying to get input from as many people as possible. I am new here as a member on The firing line but I have read quite a bit on this site and I decided to join. I am a Mechanical Engineering Technology Student in my final year. Another student and I are researching a project we feel could be quite helpful. We are developing, designing and building a one handed shotgun for our senior design project. More of the design is the stock than the gun. We came up with the idea because we feel it would help single arm amputees enjoy shooting more comfortably and more accurately. We also have tossed around the idea of use in tactical situations as well. It would be nice to be able efficiently use a shotgun without even the slightest thought of using you other hand. My thoughts are using a Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 for the pump version and the Mossberg 935 or Remington 1100 or 1187 for semi-auto.
It is a requirement to gain input from other gun-owners and especially amputees.
I am asking you all for your input, suggestions, products you have seen like this(the more info on them the better. I want to make sure I am not taking anyone's patent or anything), which shotgun(make/model) do you suggest for semi-auto or pump and why?
We do already have a basic design and features list, but I do not want to put it up yet because I do not want to influence your answers in any way. I am more looking for accessories, features, or other things you have used that you added on, modified, or that came with a gun(i.e. a stock I bought for a mossberg was everything I wanted in a gun stock except the end of the butt stock was really thin and was very uncomfortable to shoot. Also when it folded the shells wouldnt eject properly because the stock folded in front of where the shells came out). Which things did you hate or love about them, and obviously why?
Thank you all for your input.

You seem sincere enough about your project, but the single arm amputees that I know don't really need any sort of special shotgun accommodation... they do just fine with what ever they have to work with.
The most "special", permanently affixed thing I'm aware of is a 50 cent eyebolt stuck into the forend of a vets pump Ithaca. A friend who shoots a lot of sporting clays has a home made, grippy-padded cradle prosthesis attachment for the forend of her Benelli SS auto.

I have gotten replies on other forums showing how single arm amputees shoot "standard" guns. Essentially what I am trying to do is make the gun more comfortable and less work to shoot. We will accomplish this re-balancing the gun to make it more maneuverable, adding more recoil absorption, relocating the trigger forward, and adding a second point of contact to the body to allow for better stabilization and accuracy.
Could you do me a favor and ask your friends who are amputees about what the most difficult parts of shooting are for them? What features they would see most beneficial to add to a gun to make it easier to shoot? What type of shooting do they do? Kind of repetitive, but is there any type of shooting that they don't do(very well or not at all) or cannot do?
Thank you for the help

have you tried shooting a shotgun one handed?studied the recoil dynamics properly?
it sounds like your simply working on a bullpup shotgun. and it would have to be semi auto as amoutn of amputation and residual physical imparmaint varies from person to person. might not loose the whole arm in the wheat thresher, but you may not have any muscle control below the elbow.

Yes I have shot one using only one hand. We haven't tested and analyzed the recoil yet, we are only in the research phase(researching existing "like" products, gaining customer input, etc.). Calculations such as recoil and designing the recoil system will be coming soon. You are correct we are looking into some type of modified bullpup design.

We have to give a survey on the project to quantify the importance of each "feature" can you please take our survey at a website we are building for the project.

Superman's 75th puts spotlight on Cleveland roots
CLEVELAND (AP) — As Superman's 75th anniversary is marked, the super hero still reflects the tough Cleveland roots of his creators.
Superman collaborators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster lived several blocks apart in the Glenville neighborhood that shaped their dreams and Superman imagery.
Superman first appeared in Action Comics No. 1 published April 18, 1938.
Siegel's daughter, Laura Siegel Larson, says Cleveland's library, tough streets, comic pages and high school mentors all nurtured his imagination.
To mark the anniversary, the mayor will proclaim Thursday as Superman Day. The city will give out birthday cake at the Superman display at the airport.
