Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We are new to the school this year. We just moved into town and came from another Catholic school. I am happy with all my kids teachers and with the principal. It is a very good fit for our family. The Catholic faith is alive and well at St. Joseph/Marquette.
St Joseph Marquette is a great school, my kids are very happy in this school,I like the enviroment I see and the spiritual message for the kids is very important to me, the teachers are very nice.
st. joes is a great school and the teachers come in a variety. you have pace, well educated, foreign and many more kinds. the only thing i disapprove of is the dresscode and people who critique your clothes. i recommend st. joes no matter what!
Great sense of community both with staff and other parents. Very caring environment and tremendous parent involvement. Physical structures are aging. Solid, complete education.
Being a student of this school is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I look at my days at St. Joes and never regret attending. The high acedemic education is amazing, and we are blessed to have such an impressive art program. The moral education I received was the one thing I treasure most about attending St. Joesph; and the chritsian message and teachings were what bring me success today. I am a former student, and I am proud to have been a Squire.
We have had our kids at St. Josephs for years( 10 for the oldest) and (seven for the youngest). We have never regretted having spent the extra money to give our kids a quality education. The small class size, the wonderful art program, as well as the other performing arts programs. I know the friends my kids have now will be friends for life due to the wonderful, supportive, spiritual community of St. Joseph.
We have removed our daughter from the school. The 'christian' message seems to not be getting into action and there are some awefully meanspirited and misbehaving children at the school. It was a disappointment on many levels.
We have been SJM parents for three wonderful years. We can't imagine sending our children to any other school. Our child is flourishing in this environment. The academics are excellent. Our son is reading five grade levels above his own grade, and the new math program has us similarly impressed. As a complement to the teachers and the administration, this school does not teach to the WASL, unlike others. Rather, the academics take a more holistic approach to producing a well-rounded student, evidenced by the alumni of this school who are routinely honored for academic successes (e.g. National Merit Scholars, accepted into Ivy League schools, etc.). Other things we love at the school include: the principal, the teachers, the unbelievable art program, the religious education, the diversity, the compassionate loving and respectful atmosphere. Our love for SJM is reaffirmed on a regular basis by the many successes of our child and the great interactions within the school community.
St. Joseph-Marquette's Administers and especially Teachers do a wonderful job tending to each child's needs. At the beginning of the school year my child was struggling with reading, her teacher has done an outstanding job working with her that within a few months I could see a huge difference. Now have been reading below her grade level she's reading 2-3 grades above her class level. I have had the pleasure of sitting in during class and have seen first hand at the different ways the children are taught, providing a clear understanding of the different concepts to each subject. All of the teachers have a Bachelors degree and the majority have or are working on a Masters degree. I have to admit that I am very impressed with the different studies they have completed. Tuition will never be a factor that would keep me from sending my child to St. Joseph-Marquette.
Caring staff, small school, involved parents, academics not superior, traditional style classroom/disciplinary methods
Atlhough this school does provide a strong spiritual aspect, it does not provide a strong academic base. They do not seem to strive to push students to their full potential academically.

Fox Champions Discriminatory Bill That Would Leave Domestic Abuse Victims Unprotected
Published on Wed, May 16, 2012
An IPC report on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was cited in a Media Matters story:
Immigrants Are Highly Vulnerable To Domestic And Sexual Violence. From the Immigration Policy Center:
Female immigrants are more likely to work in the informal labor market as domestic workers and caretakers and are less able to assert their rights or to be protected under current laws. Immigrant women workers are also vulnerable to rape, sexual abuse and harassment, or other gender-motivated exploitation in the workplace. Some immigrant women are brought to the United States through human trafficking networks and are forced to work under conditions of surveillance, threats of deportation, and physical harm.
In addition, both legal and unauthorized immigrant women may face challenges related to domestic violence, especially if their immigration status depends on an abusive spouse.
Finally, immigrant women may be fearful of reporting abuse or exploitation to the police for fear that they will be deported and separated from their families, effectively providing abusers with a tool to silence their victims.

Toledo police looking to double gang task force
The Toledo Police Department is placing bids for eight new gang task force officers that would double the size of the unit, said Sgt. Joe Heffernan.
Heffernan, the TPD public information officer, says the Starr Avenue-East Broadway corridor and the Charles F. Weiler Homes, a Lucas County Metropolitan Housing residential project on Fassett Street in East Toledo, have become hot spots for gang activity.
In January, TPD implemented its T-Serve program, which is modeled after other cities, to address gang violence.
"We take gang members who are on parole, take them to court, and tell them, 'Next time you are found using a gun we are not only going to prosecute you, but others who are members of your group,'" Heffernan said. "In the state of Ohio, if you are in a gang that is participating in criminal activity, you can be arrested for just be being part of that gang."
He said a year-long investigation recently resulted in arrests of Crypt gang members centered around St. Vincent's Hospital. The gang members were charged in federal court after undercover agents purchased drugs and firearms.
"We are working with federal law enforcement agencies to address how to handle these guys," Heffernan said. "When you put federal charges on someone, it's effective. But it can take a long time — a lot of surveillance, a lot of buying guns and drugs, but if you really want to dismantle a gang, that's how to do it — on a federal level."
Among guests were two ladies who have had their homes invaded by potential burglars three times, each. Nearly everyone in attendance, mostly senior citizens, had stories of crimes in their neighborhoods.
When another guest asked what his rights were to defend against an intruder, Heffernan warned about using lethal force, citing so-called "Castle Laws," unless absolutely necessary.
"Certainly if they are on your property, that gives you a little more leverage on using lethal force, but ultimately you are going to have to make a case of why you did it. Ultimately, you are likely going to be sued and a grand jury is going to look into it. It's a last resort," Heffernan said.
"Unless you absolutely have to, don't do it. If somebody is on your property and calls an SOB, that doesn't give you authority to go and shoot them. You have a right to bear arms — that's in the Constitution and I'm a big proponent of that — and you have to be able to defend yourself."
"That's not big, but it's something — but it's kind of a mixed bag," Heffernan said.
Dropping in East Toledo since last year are arson, burglaries, felony thefts, and auto thefts. Increasing in numbers are felony assaults, homicides, rapes and sexual assaults, and robberies.
"I can tell you that East Toledo has a problem and we are aware of it, especially that Starr-East Broadway area and around Weiler Homes," Heffernan said. "I can tell you that numbers at these hot spots are coming down over the last month, but I'm not going to tell you that over here it's better than the rest of the city, because it's not."
He said violent crime has been on the increase, adding that Toledo still has lower crime rates than comparable cities in population and area, mentioning Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
"You can get all kinds of opinions on why it's happening. We are aware of it and we are doing all we can to combat it," Heffernan said. "Property crimes, as far as numbers go, far outweigh violent crimes, so that's where we were able to make a difference. The good news is that it's trending down and hopefully that will continue to trend down with what Chief Diggs is doing."
When Chief Diggs took over, one of his first projects was creating a Crime Intelligence Report, which a "CompStat" committee reviews every two weeks looking for crime trends and hot spots.
"We look at that data, where certain crimes are occurring, and then we put our resources where that crime is," Heffernan said. "That doesn't mean if you live in a low-crime area, we are going to ignore that area."
In addition, Heffernan said, Chief Diggs is trying to rely on more technology, which includes the installation of security cameras around the city.
"Once our camera program gets up and going, I think you will see a big difference," Heffernan said.
The first of two phases installing cameras has already begun with about 20 cameras now installed, but more are coming to complete this phase. The second phase should bring about 60 more cameras. Because of WiFi and other technical issues, TPD is not releasing yet where the cameras are going to be placed.
"Some of the cameras are very obvious — that's part of the strategy," Heffernan said. "You'll see them in big boxes with flashing lights going. The criminal may think nobody is looking, but we've got someone in the safety office who is watching. If they see a camera that is high on a pole, they are going to decide that there must be somewhere else to go."
Many covert cameras will be disguised in places where the department sees crimes developing certain patterns, Heffernan said.
Sgt. Heffernan admitted that there have been calls concerning "Big Brother" watching residents on the street, but those calls have become marginalized by citizen's concerns over crime.
"For every call we get about people saying we are concerned about being watched by the police, there are 10 calls saying, 'Can you put one on our street?' The community input has been very positive."
Sgt. Heffernan stressed that the department is at its lowest numbers in modern times — 200 police officers short of previous staff counts.
He says the mayor has committed to bring those numbers back up, and believes the economy is improving enough that it will happen, noting that recruitment has already begun. He also believes TPD will reinstitute its Citizen's Police Academy.

This is AC/DC at their absolute peak, riding high on the back of Highway To Hell. 13 of their best songs belted out the only way they knew how. Electrifying and frenetic, they have never reached that level since....unfortunately.If you've recently bought 'Live At River Plate', get it packaged back up and return it saying you want to see AC/DC at their VERY BEST!!!

The Utah Jazz announced today that the team had decided to waive center Andris Biedrins and sign power forward Erik Murphy. This brings Utah's roster to the full 15, since Murphy essentially took the place of Biedrins.
Murphy, a 6'10" forward, last played for the Chicago Bulls. He was selected as the 49th overall player by the Bulls in the 2013 NBA draft, after a four-year career at the University of Florida. He played for Chicago until April 3rd, 2014, when the team waived him. Utah picked him up two days later.
Murphy had a decent collegiate career. He became the 49th Florida Gator to record 1,000 points in a college career, and was named to the All-SEC Tournament team in 2012 and 2013.
His senior season was by far the most successful at Florida. He averaged 12.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 51% from the field and 45% from behind the three-point line. This is in stark contrast to his freshman season, where he only scored 3.5 points and grabbed 2.4 rebounds per game. Interestingly enough, Murphy didn't attempt a single 3-point shot in his freshman season. He added that aspect of his game from his sophomore season onwards.
Murphy averaged .3 points and .3 rebounds per game for the Bulls during his time with them in the 2013-14 NBA season. Murphy only attempted 16 field goals in his time with the Bulls, but he did attempt a few 3-point shots, which might point at an ability to carry his collegiate 3-point shooting over to the NBA.
He only saw 2.6 minutes in only 24 games, as Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau is famous around the league for playing very limited rotations. His role with the Jazz isn't clear at this time, as there are very few remaining games in this 2013-14 NBA season. Murphy will most likely see some time in the summer league playing for the Jazz.
Murphy's father, Jay Murphy, is a former NBA player. He saw time with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Washington Bullets. Murphy's mother, Pavi, played for the Finland women's national basketball team from 1988-1994. Murphy's younger brother Alex now also plays basketball at Florida.

DEFINITION of 'Equitable Relief'
A court-granted remedy that requires a party to act or refrain from performing a particular act. Equitable relief is provided in civil claims involving torts or contract disputes. The most common types of equitable relief are injunctions - primarily in torts claims - and specific performance - provided in contract disputes.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Equitable Relief'
An example of equitable relief in a torts case is a gag order to prevent a person from publishing sensitive information. Specific performance in a contract dispute is warranted when monetary award would be inadequate to compensate the plaintiff, when the contract is valid, and when the defendant is in a position to perform the contract.
A classic example of providing equitable relief in a contractual dispute occurs when a court directs the defendant to sell a piece of real property pursuant to the terms of the original contract. The property could have unique characteristics which monetary damages can not fully rectify.

I'm Not Drunk, I Have Ataxia
Muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis are probably the two most well-known movement disorders. As a result, they have received a lot of research funding, enabling medicine to move closer to finding effective treatments and cures. There is a movement disorder, however, that is just as serious, but often neglected. Ataxia is a movement disorder that makes patients' lives extremely difficult, yet is unheard of by many people. As a result, research into treatments is significantly far behind. Awareness of ataxia must be increased in order to drive the research that will improve the lives of its sufferers.
The word ataxia comes from the Greek "a taxis," meaning "without order" (1). Ataxia is a disease in which a person's movement is uncoordinated. The severity varies from case to case, but all forms of ataxia are characterized by difficulty in controlling balance and movement. The most obvious symptom of ataxia is an unbalanced gait that often gives people the appearance of being intoxicated. People with the condition often walk with their feet further apart than is typical in what is clinically called a "broadened base" (2) to compensate for poor balance. Ataxia may also affect the coordination of the hands and fingers, resulting in poor fine motor skills such as writing. Speech may be slurred and eye movements may be slower than normal, leading many people to believe that people with ataxia are mentally retarded. More sever forms of ataxia may cause serious swallowing and respiratory problems (1).
Ataxia may be caused by infections, injuries, or genetic factors that cause degenerative changes in the central nervous system. Those forms caused by disease or injury are known as sporadic ataxia and are not very common. The more usual forms of ataxia are hereditary and may be either dominant or recessive. The relevant genes are located on autosomal chromosomes and so affect males and females equally. Dominantly inherited ataxias are usually less severe, and most people do not show symptoms until their twenties or thirties, or even as late as their sixties. Recessively inherited ataxias, such as Friedreich's Ataxia (FA), are more serious and usually begin during childhood. They are more degenerative than dominant and sporadic ataxias and are more likely to lead to death. FA in particular is associated with serious cardiac problems (1).
All forms of ataxia affect the cerebellum, the part of the brain controlling balance and coordination. Ataxias that are pure cerebellar only affect balance and coordination. Some forms may also affect the basal ganglia and the spinal cord. These forms are referred to as cerebellar plus ataxia or spinocerebellar ataxia and may cause neuropathy (dysfunction of the peripheral nervous system), dementia, weakness, rigidity, and spasticity (1).
Until fairly recently, ataxia was thought to be strictly a movement disorder. Further studies have shown that more advanced cases may have cognitive and emotional effects. The cerebellum, once thought to deal solely with movement, is now understood to be involved in many processes within the brain. It contains more neurons than the rest of the brain combined, and processes information faster than any other part of the brain. It is connected to the cerebral cortex by an estimated forty million nerve fibers, receiving information from sensory, motor, cognitive, language, and emotional areas (3). In addition to motor functions, the cerebellum helps control skilled mental performance, sensory acquisition, discrimination and categorization, tracking, prediction, and task sequences (4). As a result, any damage to the cerebellum may result in impaired memory of newly learned information and procedures, and problems with "executive functions" such as planning and keeping thoughts in the proper order. Patients may also experience an increase in irritability, anxiety, and depression (2).
The part of the cerebellum most affected by ataxia is the layer of Purkinje cells. Each fold or "folium" of the cerebellum can be separated into three layers, the middle of which is made up of large, flat neurons called Purkinje cells. These cells are essential for relaying information within the cerebellum. They have highly branched dendrites that receive hundreds of thousands of inhibitory and excitatory impulses to process. Their myelinated axons extend through the white matter to synapse with the central nuclei of the cerebellum, the only cortical neurons to do so. They are responsible for processing efferent impulses from the motor cortex (5). It is when these cells die or become damaged that the cerebellum is unable to function properly.
Drug treatments do exist for ataxia, but they have been largely unsuccessful so far. A few forms of ataxia are linked to deficiencies of vitamin E and coenzyme Q10. Drug treatments have proven effective for these types, but such ataxias are very rare and less serious than the more prevalent ones (2). Amantadine has been shown to slow the progress of ataxia in some people and to increase energy levels, though the results do not appear to apply to the entire ataxia population (2). In addition, GABAergic agents may reduce cerebellar tremors, but are not effective for treating ataxia symptoms as a whole (2).
Genetic studies have brought further insight into the causes of hereditary ataxia, but are still a long way from developing treatments. In 1993, the first gene, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1, or SCA-1, was identified by researchers at the University of Minnesota and Baylor College of Medicine. This gene is linked to certain dominant forms of ataxia. Located on chromosome six, this particular gene appears to cause ataxia when repetitions of the CAG codon are above forty (6). More repetitions are linked to earlier onset. Genes through SCA-28 have been found since then, suggesting that it may take the combined influence of several genes to trigger the onset of ataxia (1). Fewer genes have been discovered for recessive ataxia, though one has been found that suggests treatment possibilities for FA.
In one study, a number of proteins linked to ataxia were tagged. Many of these proteins revealed cellular pathways that may lead to Purkinje cell death if misfolded due to genetic mutations (7). Another study successfully reactivated the frataxin gene in a cell culture, a gene that is often deactivated in patients with FA (8). Though this is still a long way from a cure, this achievement suggests that it may be possible to use a virus vector in stem cells or to develop a pill that will reactivate the frataxin gene in people with FA.
The area of research that currently holds the most promise is the controversial idea of stem cells. If it were possible to grow new cerebellar neurons, particularly Purkinje cells, it would be possible to treat all forms of ataxia. Unfortunately, viable neurons have not been successful grown from adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have to ability to differentiate into any type of cell, but adult stem cells have more limited capabilities. Ethical concerns hold back much of the research on embryonic stem cells, so more focus is on adult stem cells. Stem cells do exist within the adult hippocampus which, given the proper chemical signal, can differentiate into different types of neurons, however the chemical signal for Purkinje cells in not currently known. Purkinje cells develop when the embryo is roughly ten days old and do not typically develop any more after that, making it very difficult to force adult stem cells to differentiate into them (1).
Another problem is that stem cells must be genetically similar to the host to prevent rejection. One solution is to use cells from a sibling, specifically cord blood from an infant, which is full of stem cells, but there is only a one in four chance that the major immune determinant genes will be the same (9). The better, though more controversial, method is therapeutic cloning. In this procedure, the patient's DNA is transferred to one of her own egg cells (or his or her mother's). This egg is then grown as a "synthetic embryo" and harvested for stem cells (9). The problem is that the cells would still have the original mutation, and, with the exception of the frataxin gene, it is not yet known how to correct these mutations. This is an area that must be further explored before a cure can be created.
Stem cell research has given way to a still experimental treatment for one type of ataxia. In 2005, Angie McDonald, a sufferer of FA, underwent the first stem cell treatment for ataxia (10). The treatment consisted of injecting stem cells from umbilical cords into the bloodstream and the base of the skull. Though the procedure did not eliminate her symptoms, it did decrease their severity and gave her more energy. In an interview with BBC news a year later, she said the effects were wearing off, but she planned to receive another treatment (11). Though this is still very new and by no means a cure, it may be possible in the coming years that more forms of ataxia will at least be treatable by this method.
Research on ataxia is highly under-funded as most governments place it low on the priority list. Very few people have even heard of the disease, including many medical professionals. Though the disease in uncommon (approximately 15,000 Americans have it (1)), it is much more prevalent than was once believed. Many people have been misdiagnosed by their physicians, because it is so often forgotten as a possibility. Because of the ignorance of the public, many people with ataxia suffer prejudice. The unbalanced gait of ataxia gives people the appearance of being drunk. Police officers often do not accept ataxia as a valid reason for failing motor control tests, because so few have heard of it. Many people with ataxia must wear medical alert tags to prove that they actually have a medical condition (12). Children in particular suffer from the stigmas of ataxia. Since it so often goes undiagnosed in children, they may be scolded for sloppy handwriting and clumsiness mistaken for carelessness.
In order to educate the public about ataxia and the importance of research, International Ataxia Awareness Day (13) was created. This day, September 25th, is intended to teach people about ataxia and to encourage them to donate to ataxia research. Nearly all research done on ataxia so far has been funded by volunteers, because governments give so little support. Volunteers are also needed to donate money for specialized computers, communications and mobility aids, and home adaptations.
Ataxia needs to be recognized for the serious disease it is. More effort should be made to educate the public about this condition. Emphasis on this disease will help encourage donations to support research on an often neglected illness that is, nevertheless, still a serious problem for many people. As stem cell research progresses, more ways are found to use adult stem cells, rather than embryonic stem cells. This research must continue so that safe, ethical treatments and cures can be developed for this debilitating disease.

I was wondering if any one else suffers from nystagmus and vertigo? Sometimes mine is so bad I can't even see straight. Every time I walk or am moving at all my eyes shake. Has anyone found anything that helps this?
I'm 44 years old male and
I'm 44 years old male and diagnosed by my neurologist with spinocerebellar ataxia last month, yet waiting for genetic test. My symptoms of unbalanced walk started in mid 2012 after a surgery which took place after my small intestine twisted. My symptoms are progressing aggressively for last 6 months and at the moment it feels like that i ll be in the bed in weeks. I cant drive, write and barely can walk. Is this progress is normal?
re progression of symptoms
When I first had vague symptoms in early twenties they seemed slow but when my main symptoms started around 32 showing up regularly it seemed like it was quick. Within weeks I could not drive or walk without assistance or my walker. 3/4 of the way thru the last 14 yes my symptoms seem to have leveled off. I believe it depend on the type the age if your first symptoms your environment diet stress level etc.
I really don't wanna die
Im28 my mother died ten years ago at 45 years, with cerabella ataxia n a lot of other complications, my twin sisters died 5 years later with same condition, my eldest sister my final sibling died on 22nd jan this year, I'm male is their any way to prolong my life I've suffered for ten years now I've had enough if there is noway I may as we'll end my lie right now coz I'm fed up and depressed I have no family on my mums side coz her dad my grandad died the day after my eldest sisters funeral, please help me im in desperate need of some just help me prolong my life please I'm begging you
hi my name is Elena. i was
hi my name is Elena. i was diagnosed by an mri with cerebellar atrophy at 23 and im forty years old. i was told it was hereiditary. in my case i fell and broke at 6 months. wore a half body cast. healed. then broke left arm didnt quite heal. broke collar bone. healed. foot ,fingers.healed. i use a walker to walk. this is the first time i wrote someone about this im not sure what else to say. except that i try to exercise as much as i can. my physical therapist told me if i dont use my muscles i lose them.
use it or lose it
Hi Elena,
I wish that you had someone to talk to before now. I have had ataxia for just a few months now after a head injury. I do believe in the philosophy of use it or lose it. I started with yoga and could only cry when attempting something that previously had been simple. But i continue to go based on that philosophy of use or lose it - and i refuse to give it up before i absolutely have to. so keep it up, and stay mobile, and stay focused on the goal.
cerebellar atrophy/ataxia - HELP
Hi I was wondering if there is a support group in new Zealand for cerebellar atrophy / ataxia. I'm 49 year old female with this and diagnosed three years ago I can walk a little, my balance is getting worse = my head js grinding all the time, as for lying down is hard/ sleeping. I feel so alone in this and down.
Hi Suzie... please do not
Hi Suzie... please do not feel down - my father suffers from the same condition - what part of NZ do you live in?
Though I've seen many Dr. and had many tests not one has said ataxia to me,I know I have some kind of cerebellar ataxia. It has been progressing over the last 11 years, I could feel something happening......started with nystagmas and bouts of vertigo so random I had to stop driving it got so scary! At that time I was 37 years old I will be 50 this year. It progressed slowly I still worked full time still walked though I seemed to lose my balance more often and became terrified of heights and wide spaces. I had 2 children {in 2004 and 2007],2008 things started to speed up. Had to stop working and now I can not walk with out a walker I can still do it carefully indoors,but outside forget it! Short distance [house to car] I can hold onto someone but long distances no way...........I can not find a walker that works with my issues well I actually have to walk with a jogging stroller to get better outdoor traction but I have to weigh it down because it is to lite. Any body have any ideas? My nystagmas and dizziness are so bad any more it is really difficult to walk at all, and my hips and legs are starting to ache. I don't know where to get help my Neurologist keeps throwing up his hands and saying "not sure" I have had tons of MRI'S and autoimmune blood test but zip! HELP!!! please I still have to get around my kids depend on me!
Outdoor walker
You mentioned about trouble finding a good outdoor walker. I have one that is the greatest thing since sliced bread :)
It isn't inexpensive, but it certainly works great:
I normally use it with 3 wheels, rather than the 4th. The 4th wheel can be flipped down to give more traction, but it makes it harder to turn.
The big air-filled tires are way more comfortable when walking. We can even go on a trail and it will just run right over tree roots or whatever is in the way.
I've never had a problem with it tipping up - it seems very well balanced.
The wheels have a push button that releases them so you can take them off in about 1 second. Then, the handlebars go down and it folds from side to side. Easy to put into the car and it doesn't weigh that much.
A great solution. I've had mine for a good couple of years and use it most days in the summer.
Outdoor walker
Thank you I have been looking at this for over a year and keep thinking about it and how it breaks down is it fast and convenient for those people that drive me places is it stable enough for my extreme balance issues and I always if someone out there actually owned one................Thank you for your input! I will look into it some more,it is spendy!
I can relate to what are expeiencing
I started to experience many of the symptoms you describe in 2012. There are actually some rare moments in the morning where I have no symptoms and I pray a miracle has happened. But the time is short lived and all the symptoms you describe come back again. I think I am going to put a plastic chair in the walk in shower because it is becoming to dangerous to shampoo my hair and close my eyes. I have caught myself to many times almost falling through the shower curtain. A career change maybe happening soon because I have trouble lining up my screw driver to take off/on panel screws on copiers. When I sign documentation I must concentrate very hard to move the pen correctly with my hand. Pushing my PIN at an ATM has become difficult because I can't steady my finger and sometimes push two numbers. There are times I just laugh it off, but more and more I feel like crying in frustration. My 4 and 5 year old miss out because the fear of picking them up and falling over. Hang in there sister, I feel your pain
i cai n n i have seen doctors walk for long i loose my ballence can any one help
Stem Cell therapy
Hi there! I just read your comment and I am contacting Hope Hospital in China where they offer stem cell therapy for patients all over the world. I talked to Simon Lee, hope this helps!
Hi, I am kavita from Mumbai, India. My husband is suffering from SCA 2 from last 14 years. He is also take alopathy, homeopathy and ayurvedic medicines. We follows the doctors directions. But not have any improvement in his he8
Hi everyone feeling kind of better knowing this is not only in my family. This goes back as far as my 42 year mind can remember. My great grandfather on my mother side use to walk as if he was drunk and I heard people call it the drunk man disease. As I study my granddad hewalked the same now my ggrandfather has two other brother's and a sister that staggers when she walk and then comes my mother hers came in her late thirties and my aunt her sister in her thirties and then I have to boy cousin's that also have ataxia and they are young there's started when they were 10 are so. What I'm saying is that females in my family are attacked in the middle age and the boys in their younger hope I helped you. God bless.
Can I inherit hte disorder
My mom shows the symptoms of SCA1 at the age of 33 years, she is suffering from this disease for last 11 years, now my age was 24 years can i inherit the disease?? I just want to go for a test...
Because i am always in a dilemma whether i inherit the disease or not....
If any precautions are there please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone. Ataxia runs in
Hi everyone. Ataxia runs in my family. Nanny, mom and my oldest and younger brother all have been diagnosed with this disease. The doctor I saw doesn't think I show signs but we did not to any real tests. I'm not sure what kind of ataxia it is as we are not to close with our mother and oldest brother now and the doctors my youngest brother was seeing here in Ontario Canada basically told him they couldn't waste more money trying to find out. I just want to know if they is anything any drugs that could help him at all. If feel so helpless and he' tries not to show how depressed he is but he is. His symptoms are not that bad yet but my other family with it pretty much can't walk at all anymore. If anyone knows of anything I can ask the doctors about I would love to know. My father and I are still praying for a cure
After a flared up left cheek two years ago due to a gum infection and shortly after it returned to normal after a dose of antiobiotics I suffered from a hearing loss in my left ear.
That was followed by a visit to the doctor and beining diagnosed with vertigo due to a couple of falls I had experienceid.
Now suddenly I have had many episodes of losing my ability to navigate stairs both up and down and walking across open spaces.
I was diagnosed with inner ear damage as I now have tinnitus.
Typical example of last episode
Arrived at work 9am
Felt 99%
Then @ 10.15 sudden pulse to head and felt if iwas going to fall but got back to my desk.
After 3 hours felt good to
go down stairs to canteen for refrIeshment.
Reachead top of stairs, looked down, panicked and turned back.
I couldent work out how I was going to walk down the stairs.
I also froze 3 feet from my desk chair not knowing how I was to traverse that 3 feet without falling.
IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin)
Hi everyone,
Theresa (from South Africa) here again. As mentioned in my initial mail I was put on a "cocktail" to try and see if that "helped in any way, however I am 'pleased" to note that two of my tablets have been stopped - 'no need' as they did not make a difference, however I am still on Azilect and Symmetral tabs. I'd like to know whether any of you, of if you know of anyone, who has Ataxia and has had the IVIG treatmemt.
Please let me know.
Many thanks,
Kind Regards
Yes it has been genetically
Yes it has been genetically confirmed as cerebullar ataxia.
I had a brain tumor (astrocytomas)and meningitis in 1976.I also have ataxia, think it's cerebullar ..I want to know if I could go to a doctor and get a proper diagnosis .
test confirms
I was referred to the Mayo clinic by my neurologist and was tested by the Mayo clinic in 2002. was told I have cerebellar Ataxia Type 3. MY mom had it and my brother 3 years younger than me has it also, but my mother and brother were not genetically tested.
Cure/Treatment for Ataxia
My sister who lives in Port Elizabeth in South Africa lost a husband to Ataxia. Now both her 41 year old daughter and 39 year old son suffer from it. We are keen to know about anyone around P E who can help with the latest information about this illness.
Treatment for Ataxia
Hi Clarence,
There is no cure for any form of Ataxia AS YET! We all (I'm sure - all of us who have this "blessing" in our lives) pray that more funding will be granted by our Govenrments towards find a cure for THIS as well. However, I believe there are some medications on the market that can assist one - depending on the Neurologist that one sees. For instance, I am taking Azilect and Symmetral which are definitely helping. Of course there have been a lot of changes I have had to make in my lifestyle, like no high heels - even the low ones, which causes me to feel unstable etc etc.
My advice to your sister would be to find a very good Neurologist, and see what he can do.
God Bless!
Hi Theresa,
I have now been diagnosed with SCA for 2 years but they still dont know which type. How has the medication worked for you, in what way?
I am really unsteady on my feet. Would this help?
SCA Type 1
Hi Verjinder, as mentioned before I am on Azilect (1 a day) and Symmetral 100 (3 a day). According to my family & friends I appear to have a much better gait than that of my relatives who have this disease. The. Blood test done on me showed exactly which type I have. Hope your Neuro can help you. Kind regards.
going down fast!
Don't have an official diagnosis yet. Just researching some things concerning my father-in-law's symptoms. Ataxia seems to cover most of his symptoms. However, he has deteriorated SOOO FAST! I mean, within weeks, then days even. He has gone from stumbling around and walking with cane at Christmas (one month ago) to a wheelchair and unable to hold a glass without spilling.
He has been diagnosed with periphanal neuoropathy but this seems more severe. Can anyone suggest anything? Has anyone else seen a drastic change in a very short period of time?
I was diagnosed in 2002 with cerebellar ataxia type 3 in 2002 by the Mayo clinic. In April 2012 my wife and I celibrated our 10 year wedding anniversary by going to Vegas for the first time. I could walk around with a cane at that time. We enjoyed it so much we took 4 of our 6 kids in August of 2012 just 4 months later and I had to use a wheelchair to go on long distances. I now have an electric scooter to travel with as I can't walk long distances anymore. Carrying a half full glass across the kitchen is an acclomplishment.
Hi Dana,
Has your father-in-law been tested for Ataxia as yet? If not, it may be a start to finding out what exactly is wrong with him. Whilst neuropathy does making things worse, perhaps if he is correctly diagnosed, they may have some medication that could assist him. I have been diagnosed with SCA Type 1, and my neurologist is treating my imbalnce witha treatment for Parkinsons, and by the Grace of God, it seems to be helping. Of sourse, I've had to make a changes, like slowing down when walking or doing things, wearing low-heeled shoes, but it's helped. It may be a good idea to start off with him being tested for Ataxia. Good Luck, Theresa.
going down fast
My sincere sympathy. That is the same as mine except that mine is very slow. I went a long time(3yrs.) before being refered to a neurologist. I did not get in for three weeks; four more weeks before getting an EMG; and now I'm told to come back in two months. The neurologist will only say that I have peripheral neuropothy. They took 5 vials of blood the first time, and 4 vials the second time. I know that peripheral is nerves on the extremities as opposed to central which involves the spine and back. Under an american neuropothy assn. web, I found that there are some 28 different types. They label it spinocerebellar ataxia. They also list short symptoms for each. From the web, I have also been given advice to label each treatment and result that I get. I am now planning to revisit my neuroligist's office to get copies of all tests already made. I advise that you do the same. Accurate records may be important later. I also know that many just don't get a straight opinion. Bill Spruill
going down fast, addendum
I received note of comment, and realized that I have already replied. This is an addendum. I am now waiting for DNA test results. My neuro. did not want to go to this extent. We had some meaningful arguments. One arguement was that it was expensive and not covered by insurance (medicare). The cost is $1,000 which I am ready to pay. Reasearch shows standards for medicare coverage and I have requested same. If turned down, I can appeal that decision, but I think I will be accepted. The principle is that a SCREENIG test (without a specific exxceptipon) is not paid. HOWEVER, a DIAGNOSTIC reason will be covered. The lab, Athena Lab, accepts the application and forwards the request for payment (You get three options: 1. to agree to pay if ins. rejects, and to seek further appeal; 2. if payment is rejected, to accept that without appeal; 3. to withdraw the request. Medicare will send a form where you may give your rational as to why payment should be made. I have sent this, but do not have an answer yet. I made the arguement that the test is for diagnostic purposes, and not for screening. If rejected, I can appeal. Meanwhile, I am told, that the test is running, but may take about 65 days!? I am waiting with about 60 days to go.
I have mailed you about my

spino cerebellar ataxia
Hi friends..I have 26 years.I have been suffering from spino cerebellar ataxia(I don't know which type) for 3 years.This is genetical disorder to me.But nobody in our family had this disease.I am unable to walk,difficulty while climbing steps and unsurfaced areas.I am looking like drunken person.But I never drink.Previously nobody was identified my problem.slight variation in my walk.I used allopathy,homeopathy and ayurveda.But no result.I have attacked by jerks over abdomen 6 months ago due to ataxia.Doctors told that these are the common symptoms observed in ataxia patients.By using the medicines for jerks my condition is worsening than before.I am falling down frequently..now I am continuing my medicine.Even though there is no change in my condition.Is there any cure or treatment for sca?how can I control my balance ?
ataxia symptoms
I am 79 years age. I have exercized all my life and have excellent dietary and health patterns and diagnostic values. I have run several marathons, including Boston. I have also done cycling events and triathlons, but not the Ironman. I am generally in a 80 percentile of national records. I am well versed in dietary elements regarding calories, protiens, carbohydrates, and fats. A few years back, I sort of stumbled into the nurse at my pers. physian office. I excused myself with an offhand comment to the effect that that sort of thing was rather normal for me --which it was. The Dr. seemed concerned. He gave me some quick field tests and noted that the results were not good for me. He sent me to a neurologist. I had several tests including Xrays and MRIs. Everythig was normal except a filled right maxilary sinus. I went to an ottolaryngeologist for that. I also went to a clinic and a chiropractor for balance rehab. Well, nothing of consquence was discovered. I have continued to be seen seeking to identify my problem which is only getting worse. I can no longer ride a bike. I am now well behind my old competitors, and my attempts at racewalking, which started trying, is poor enough to be disqualified. I really don't mind the poor performance, but I now use a cane most of the time, and I am scarred of falling. Speaking of falling, I was puting out the trash, and fell in the driveway causing me to knock out a front tooth. I told my Dr. about it and we tried more tests. The real problem was that I had a very short blackout during the fall, and though I felt the impact, I had no memmory of the actual fall. Further, the result showed that I had not taken any defensive measures. So, with everything getting worse, I feel it is more than an aging thing. I was doing some personal investigation and came upon your site. I will make a copy and try to get back on a trail of seeking some improvement. I will be back with results. I am encouraged.
medical research in ataxia
Good morning, thanks to everyone for their helpful comments. I would be grateful for any information on whether cigarette deterrent drugs helps improve gait in ataxia..category not known.asha
Genetic cerebellar ataxia
I am a60 year old male. I have had the condition since about 12 but wasn't diagnosed until my late 20's. It was wrongly diagnosed as epilepsy at first. With my condition I am missing gene 19. The condition is heredity and is passed down the male line. My brother has it, 3 of his sons, my son seems to have it as well as his son. We all suffer the same symptons of slurred speech and giddiness as though we are drunk. Our condition is controlled by Diamox. I know what they mean when they say that most medical people don't know anything about the condition because everytime you see a different doctor they ask about medication and then you have to explain everything to him. It is a pain in the posterior but hey you get on with life the best way you can because people don't understand.
life now is different
I was recently diagnosed with (SCA type 2) spino cerebral ataxia type 2, but I been living with the condition for quite bit. Last year I stop walking properly so I stop going to school. My life has totally change. My speech, walk and eye sight are worsening.
I still have faith that things will get better.
I am sorry to hear what you are going through.my brother in law has Ataxia and he is having trouble getting any treatment for it all .he can not walk or perform task on his own with out his wifes help.he is trying to get into mayo clinic but still no answer.he has throat cancer and when he lost his motor skills then they found the cancer and treated it.but since he has not had any luck with much other.How are you now?and have you been under any treatment.i may not be back to this site much but my email is and I am on facebook tonya Watkins burton.thank you very much for any info
sorry how sudden this can be
I am sorry your life has totally changed, I understand. It is hard when you have to give up all that you knew and relearn life. How long did it take to get a diagnonisis ? all I seem to keep getting is "best guess" diagnosis from the doctors I have seen. It seems they don't want to do the tests ? like since the MRI and CT of head and neck are looking good to them there is no need to test further. I just dont get it.
my brother n law is going through the same thing.his testing has stopped and mostly do to Medicaid refuseing to pay or approve.he is getting worse with each day.i am looking for any kind of info or answers.it has been 7 months and his wife has done everything but beg on her knees.have you received anymore help?
dna blood test for sca type ??
find a neurologist who treats balance problems. Athena health will do dna test for sca type??
I was given every test my
I was given every test my neurologist could think of. Athena Labs only came up with a positive for ataxia. I started with tripping, walking forward with the inability to stop, leaning into whomever I was walking with, and finally being unable to walk. When it all started I went to physical therapy. It helped with my strength, but even with balance exercises I eventually lost my ability to walk. I can walk short distances with assistance, mostly from the house to the car or into a restaurant. At one point my doctor was going to insert a shunt to drain the cerebrospinal fluid, but decided not to. From what I've read so far there is no cure. I'm just trying to learn to live with it, but I still have hope. Good luck
I'm male and 46. MRI of moderate cerebeller atrophy. Nuerologists examination is FA but awaiting blood results in 3 weeks.
I have had walking problems for 15 years, live in a major city but GP's where unable to get an answer for me. I have no upper body coordination issues but i can not walk outside anymore without holding on to my wifes hand.
There are many many poor people suffering this condition much worse than myself, but i saw the nuerologist only a few weeks ago and still processing the news.
I am tring to stay calm.
Peace to you all.
results ?
I am also a 46 year old male who was diagnosed in 2002 by the Mayo clinic. My sca3 is defective which means I have cerebellar ataxia type 3. My mother and brother who is 3 years younger than I am have it also. My mother passed away in April 2010. I am curious what you found out?
Raymond.............This is me totally,only difference is I am female. I got all the blood tests.................passed them all,went to an ENT got all the balance tests they could think of......again ziltch! They are trying me on Ativan to see if that will help, its not been helping so far, I also have Nystagmas. I do not drive anymore because of "dizzy spells" that come and go. I can not walk outside without help I had to get a stroller to push when my husband or someone isn't around. Pushing a childless stroller may look strange but falling would be worse. Even with assistance I still walk as if I am drunk but so far I have no choice no one can tell me whats wrong with me!
Keep lookin on your end and I
ll keep lookin on my end and maybe together we will find an answer!! :-)

No-meat brunch
- Discerning1 May 30, 2011 11:28 PM
It's my turn to host a brunch and the group is vegetarian (NOT vegan). Over the years I've made a Spanish tortilla, an Algerian egg and potato dish called marcoude, a vegetarian pastel de Moctezuma, a vegetarian posole, and grits with chanterelle ragù.
I'm searching for something new to feature. Any ideas? Something with protein for the main course.
I've been looking at recipes for strata, but without meat, they sound like a lot of cheese and butter. I can't do anything à la minute, so need something that can be prepped and hot when folks arrive.
Load your strata up with with veggies. It doesn't need meat at all. Onions mushrooms, spinach or broccoli, even potatoes would be good.
re: mcel215
Second this, it's amazing. Add some extra spinach and also put it on a cookie sheet for both the overnight soak and the baking, I have had it overflow.
Couple of other thoughts: Moosewood's mushroom strudel (absolutely key to use fresh dill), or spanakopita (just made Martha Stewart's Easy Spanakopita with extra feta and an added bunch of chopped scallions and it was really good).
That grits with chanterelle ragu sounds very tasty!
re: GretchenS
Great ideasl Thank you.
re: mcel215
I think this spinach and cheese strata from Epicurious is the same as Smitten Kitchen's. It is excellent.
Agreed with the others about strata. You can add any combination. Another good option is Ottolenghi's cauliflower cake, which is just a bit on the cakey side of a quiche. The flavor is awesome. http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/10/cau...
Since you are willing to move beyond egg dishes, how about enchiladas? I do one with green sauce that has a filling of goat cheese, roasted corn and onions, and you could do the other with a red sauce and zucchini piccadillo filling. Refried beans on the side and you have a wonderful brunch. If you have drinks, you might want to serve Sangrita which is equal parts OJ and tomato juice, hefty splash of fresh lime juice and tequila as you see fit.
re: escondido123
Sounds fantastic and would be visually appealing. That's my problem with quiche and frittata...not much visual pizzazz.
re: escondido123
Butternut squash enchiladas with red bell peppers and Ancho chile sauce:
I tried a new enchilada variation recently that was also stunning -- filling = roasted butternut squash with a little garlic and some blackened red bell peppers, plus the cheese of course. Sauce -- a fantastic red sauce with Ancho chiles or maybe Pasilla and a little toasty cumin and a splash of cream actually.
Day before -- roast the squash for the filling and blacken your peppers (don't need to blacken, up to you). Grate the cheese. Make the sauce.
Brunch morning -- assemble enchiladas and pop in oven. Refried black beans, yes, maybe a mango smoothie as a beverage.
a guideline for the enchiladas (quesadillas here, adapted of course)
idea for the sauce (definitely make the night before -- and don't use mayo. Instead go for a little half and half or sour cream or vegetable broth, even, until you get the consistency you like. Toast and grind the cumin seeds yourself if possible).
re: twilight goddess
Need a "like" button.
re: Discerning1
agree, the enchiladas sound excellent (sorry for posting in an old thread!)!
how about a rocket salad dressed with a lemon dressing, and toasted baguette slices with a slice of goat's cheese just slightly warmed on top.
Quiches - they freeze if you need to make them in advance.
Spanakopitas, greek salad.
How many people are you feeding? If it's not a huge group, and you don't mind going for something sweeter, you could try a Dutch baby. It's all the greatness of pancakes without the fuss of having to cook them on the stove.
If you want to stick with eggs, you could try shakshouka. This version is delicious: http://www.joanne-eatswellwithothers....
I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it's boiling here, so I wouldn't want to use my oven. So why not try something like black bean cakes with a crisp salad and sliced avocado? Serve with good bread and maybe some watermelon or mango for dessert. (FYI, the black bean cakes can totally be made ahead, you'd just need to reheat them in a pan.)
re: piccola
Where is it boiling? Here in California's Monterey Bay Area it is chilly (June gloom from ocean flow). So the oven is not only an option, it may be a warming tool.
Tell more about a Dutch baby. Love the name!
re: Discerning1
Toronto. Major heat wave the past few days, though it looks like it's about to pass.
Dutch baby is basically a cross between a pancake and a popover. You make a thin batter and heat a buttered skillet in the oven, then pour the batter in the skillet and put the whole thing back in the oven. It puff up beautifully. Here's a basic recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
re: Discerning1
already hit a 100 two days here in south carolina!
Tomato pie would be lovely with a salad on the side
I made this Asparagus and Yellow Pepper Fritatta recently, from Epicurious. I used 8 whole eggs and 8 whites, and substituted milk for the heavy cream. It was fantastic.
One of my favorite recipes is a Spinach in Puff Pastry recipe that is found in the Barefoot Contessa's "Barefoot in Paris" cookbook! It is yummy with a good salad. I usually put togetehr a salad of Spring Greens, sliced apples, pecans, dried cranberries, and scallions. Balsamic dressing and you are good to go!
How about chilaquiles topped with a poached egg, or huevos rancheros?
Or shakshuka, Israeli eggs in tomato sauce with warm pitas...with tomato, cucumber and onion salad on the side?
i just saw this spinach-cheese bars recipe that looks like a winner! http://www.justapinch.com/recipe/ncle...
re: alkapal
Wow- that was my mother and aunt's go to recipe in the 80's and I still make it! Theirs uses more eggs (5) and spinach (2 boxes) and sharp cheddar rather than jack cheese..
re: Berheenia
yes, i could def see substitutions and tweaks. tell me about the "crust" -- is it one of these self-making crusts?
re: alkapal
No crust. Sometimes the corners get crunchy but no crust.
re: Berheenia
thanks, berheenia -- i'm going to try those.
Epicurious has a yummy red pepper and cheddar strata that I've played around with in any number of directions.
My version is here:
With two vegetarians in my family, most of the brunches I do are vegetarian, or mostly so -- any meat is on the side, in any case. Spanikopita is good, as is quiche. The fun thing with brunch is that you can have pretty much anything.
Mushroom strudel in phyllo dough is one star that I have served for guests for many years, and it is an oooo! ahhhh! dish (stole the show at a Thanksgiving dinner this year. The friend who invited me to the dinner, a vegetarian, barely got a slice of the strudel because all of the [meat-eating] relatives were gobbling it up!
I found this recipe years ago in the original Moosewood cookbook.... mmmm. Filling -- mushrooms, a burst of lemon juice for brightening the flavor, cream cheese, dill, shallot, some other goodies. Wrapped in phyllo and popped in the oven until golden. You can add spinach.
At an upscale restaurant i once had a satisfying brunch main called "Breakfast of Champignons", which was a baked toasted shell made of bread, filled with mushrooms in a rich mornay sauce.
I make cheese strata using Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup in place of most of the cream in the custard. I use ham and cheese between the bread slices but you could use fried or broiled eggplant slices, sauteed mushrooms, spinach, etc.
re: greygarious
I love Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup...it's one of my staples (as a soup, sprinkled with pan-toasted wild rice). A good idea to use it to cut down the cream. Thanks.
Thank you, Chowhounds. You've given me enough ideas for a year of brunches.
I ended up doing a red pepper and cheese strata, using the wonderful suggestion of replacing a cup of the milk with Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup. Also added a ton of vegetables as suggested. Roasted lots of red peppers and sauteed them with freshly picked red onions and their green tops with fresh Greek oregano. I used goat cheese, Irish cheddar and challah as the bread. Wish I'd taken a photo, it was beautiful and delicious.
The menu started with fresh garbanzos charred in the shell, hollowed cucumber cups filled with goat cheese and homemade tapenade, cheeses with quince paste, accompanied by cucumber and gin spritzers.
Then the strata with stone fruit brandied sangria. Ended with Meyer lemon sorbet served in lemon shells, topped with a candied basil leaf and paired with fresh lavender shortbread.
Thank goodness I had a terrific sous chef and great guests.
re: Discerning1
Sounds delicious!
re: Discerning1
unfortunately i'm just catching this thread now, but it sounds like you served a fantastic menu! if your turn comes around again while we still have glorious summer fruit available, you might want to consider blintzes or crepes.
for future reference, there is a wonderful-looking recipe for zaalook ("zaalouk") -- a moroccan eggplant "caviar" spread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRrHJO...

Before the Storm Lyrics - Queensryche
Review The Song (1)
Red gates of iron cast their
Black shadows on this land
Dividing souls... far below
The gathering winds the armies watch
Are rising from the west
Foretelling news... of freedom's hand
In secrecy they've infiltrated
All of our strongholds
Controlling more... year after year
So we've let this happen all along
Believing what's been said
Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear
We watch the sun rise, and hope
We watch the sun rise, and hope
That it won't be our last
Before the storm
Before the storm
Before the storm
Before the storm
Is it late to try, must we all die
Our system awaits testv Freedom by choice...
is it for all men, best
So we wait in fear the atom split
Our hearts in two be torn
Learn from the past... before the storm
We watch the sunrise, and hope
We watch the sunrise, and hope
That it won't be our last
