Stated Purpose
"to promote the dignity and protect the rights of immigrants in partnership with a dedicated network of Catholic and community legal immigration programs."
CLINIC operates a Center for Citizenship and Immigrant Communities, Center for Immigrant Rights, Center for Religious Immigration and Protection, National Legal Center for Immigrants, and a communication/marketing initiative. Through the Center for Citizenship and Immigrant Communities, CLINIC seeks to develop capacity for lasting change by working with a cross-section of national and regional groups in under-served communities, (whether geographic, ethnic, or population-specific communities) to start or improve existing programs that will allow millions of immigrants throughout the United States to understand and to exercise their rights. Through CLINIC's Center for Immigrant Rights programs, the organization tackles problems faced by low-income immigrants and CLINIC member agencies that can only be resolved through advocacy, education, pro bono representation, litigation, and media. The Center identifies legal trends and issues affecting immigrants and pursues responsive solutions. CLINIC reports that its Center for Religious Immigration and Protection assists more than 250 archdiocese, dioceses and religious institutes to bring foreign-born religious workers to the U.S. for education, formation, or ministry. Furthermore, the organization provides training (immigration law and immigration program management) and technical assistance to community-based legal service agencies, including an attorney-of-the-day hotline. CLINIC promotes immigration policies and coordinates national projects that respond to the needs of vulnerable immigrants and it also provides religious immigration services. The organization reports that its network of community based immigration programs employ many attorneys and "accredited" paralegals that serve low-income immigrants each year.

Seriously, why is it always the grocery store?I had a cartload of items when I arrived at the checkout, so I was careful to avoid the express lanes. I arrived at the lane, after an elderly couple, just before another family - two parents and a woman in her late teens/early twenties. All three of us had equally full carts. There was no question as to who got to the line in which order. It was the elderly couple, me, and then the family. But the young woman, rolled her eyes and huffed, as if I should have let them ahead of me for some reason I was unaware of.I ignored her and unloaded my cart. The young woman huffed to herself about how LONG people take unloading their carts, and how this whole store was just ridiculous for not getting people through line quicker. Over and over, she whined about how LONG it was taking, she wanted to go home, this wait was ridiculous, couldn't people go faster? With each gripe, she got louder and louder until it was absolutely clear that the cashier heard every word. Finally, when the family got close enough to the register to put their items on the belt, they couldn't find the divider bar to separate our items. When she saw that the cashier didn't notice their "distress," the young woman stomped past, out of the store, loudly huffing, "This is RIDICULOUS. I am going HOME. I hate this stupid place!"All the while her parents placidly went through their grocery shopping.Seriously, it was like seeing a five year old trapped in a 18/20 year old's body.
When I'm less brain dead, I might post a story or twelve.
Bit of a special snowflake at the cinema today.In my local cinema, there are three rows of nicer seats reserved for VIP ticket holders. Fair enough. However, one woman seemed to think that by buying a VIP ticket, that meant the whole row was hers. She complained loudly and passive aggressively throughout the trailers, outraged that there were other people sitting in her row.Luckily, one of those people called for an usher, and she was told in no uncertain terms to be quiet or get out, and she actually LEFT. Wow.

Our boys are no longer allowed to go over to a friends after something their friend's dad pulled last week. bg: We live about 3 blocks from our very pretty city park that has been there since the 1800's and is very nicely kept, with a lovely large pond, an art museum and gallery at different ends of the park, etc. There is a wide field that has two baseball fields and backs up to train tracks. Bikes aren't even allowed in the park, or skateboards, and their friend's dad took them and his son over there in a 4 wheeler. Someone apparently called the police to get the guy to leave so he did, leaving our sons (11 and 10) behind at the park by themselves. Thankfully they're old enough to be there by themselves and can safely get home on their own, which they did. And even if they weren't, my oldest has a cell phone and could have called DH to come get them (I was out for a few hours while this was happening). Pirateboy2 told me he and his brother had gone somewhere (to the bathroom I think, though the park locks the bathrooms in the winter but they always forget that) and when they came back, the guy and his son were gone. Didn't even make an attempt of any sort to let the boys know he had to leave. (and they do have Pirateboy 1's phone number) Their friend is allowed to come over and play at our house but in showing bad judgement and being a SS, we don't trust the dad to make good decisions with our kids around.

Reviving letter writing in a digital age
Who doesn't like to receive a hand written letter? Lets face it's likely to be good news, not like a bill or similar annoyance. This week, one of the oldest forms of communication – hand written letters - gets a 2012 makeover with the Snail Mail My Email project.
People are given one week (from 12-18 November 2012) to send an email message to Snail Mail My Email that have a team of volunteers in place ready to handwrite the message and post to whoever the letter has been addressed to – for free. It's a great personal touch and bridge between what can often be an impersonal nature of email, using technology that's immersed and engrained so deeply into everyday life.
"The project's underlying goal has always been to reignite the lost art of letter writing," explains Cash.
The worldwide project devised by artist and author Ivan Cash also allows letter writers to add custom elements to what they pen whether a doodle, flower petal, kiss, spray of perfume etc. From the first Snail Mail My Email project in 2011, 234 volunteers sent 10,457 letters to over seven countries within one month.
The project creator Cash has created a new book with the letters from the original Snail Mail My Email project entitled Snail Mail My Email: Handwritten Letters in a Digital World. Billed by the publishers as a 'bound art collection of the most creative, memorable and heartfelt letters,' perhaps it's the lean towards nostalgia that will make us remember how a simple letter can change a mood. With so much emphasis upon digital and social media, it's a lovely way to remind us that how much of a great feeling it is receiving letter in the post; likewise being the person that makes the gesture writing it (or in this case emailing it) in the first place.
Cash continues, "I hope that between the book, the project's return, and any other exposure, people feel inspired to write and send a letter of their own!"
As my colleague Rachel pointed out to me today, it's not clear if the people that submit letters are advised beforehand that their letters will be selected for another potential book. However, if a complete stranger is penning your thoughts and it's travelling through the WWW, you've really got to take onboard anyone can read that letter.
Why not do something wonderful and send your letter from http://www.snailmailmyemail.org, you have until the 18 November 2012. Or, perhaps reconnect with how handwritten letters can make a difference and do it the old school way… and write it yourself. For me, the last letter, which was more like a quick note was penned this Monday, but was accompanied with a few nice gifts too. It's not because I had to, but it's a nice thing to do.

Basel World 2010 Haute Joaillerie by Breguet: a fabulous bouquet of diamonds
Once again, Breguet High Jewellery displays stunning boldness in the design of contemporary gem-set pieces. This year, Breguet presents CRAZY FLOWER, wedding the pure beauty of diamonds to the technical daring of a mobile setting. Housing a calibre 586 self-winding mechanical movement, the watch case features asymmetrical rows of baguette-cut diamonds mounted on minimalist settings affixed to the case from the middle section up to the bezel. These supple, springy settings make the most of the stones' brilliance, swaying gracefully in response to movement. 116 baguette-cut diamonds will thus oscillate back and forth in a graceful and subtle dance reminiscent of wind-ruffled petals. For its part, the dial comprises 206 brilliant-cut diamonds "inverse-set" on a concave face rimmed by a flange set with a further 66 brilliant-cut stones and enhanced with an hour circle composed of 20 baguette-cut stones. Over 36 carats of diamonds glimmer in wondrously fine settings – a truly exceptional achievement by the talented craftsmen of Breguet's Haute Joaillerie workshops.
This dazzling tour de force comes with a CRAZY FLOWER Haute Jewellery suite made up of a ring featuring a blooming-flower motif along with ear pendants and motifs also displaying mobile diamond clusters.

It's a good list of seemingly new technologies but again, just about everything on the list, with possible exception of the materials (Kevlar/ carbon fiber and aerogel), have been around since at least the 60's and probably longer (electromagnets, faster computers, radar and radio) and are re-applications of existing technology, new uses or new combinations of existing technology. I do think that there have been some improvements in manufacturing techniques that have made it possible to produce this stuff in larger quantities or of better quality, (and explains the emergence of new materials like Kevlar and aerogel as well, for that mater), so I'm not saying there have been no advances at all. Just nothing really NEW. I think the last really NEW breakthrough was the transistor.
But you are definitely on to something when you point out that this tech is primarily military in origin (and application). For me, this goes to the heart of the original question of why we never went back to the moon, and why there have been no real technological advances since then.
A you said, I suppose it is a mater of perceptions. I guess it always is. But what I see when I look at our advances is a massive proliferation of "new" technologies that do very little to fundamentally improve the lives of average people. The opposite, in fact, seems to be taking place. Instead of making us more independent, more secure and empowered, we have become even more distracted and entrenched in a dependency on forces beyond our control for our well being, all the while believing that we are advancing by leaps and bounds because we have more opportunities for lightening fast communications (with very little to communicate), and a bazilion options to watch the same repeated crap on TV. In the mean time, half the world continues to starve (and its getting steadily worse), we still crap poison into the air and our water supply by the metric ton, and we have a thousand, new, advanced ways to kill each other, all of which obviously require us to spend even more money to defend our selves.
I believe we never went back to the Moon because it would have required us to overcome some serious technological hurdles in propulsion, energy, medicine and life sciences. And that would be a problem, because there is no money in actually solving problems. There is, however, a butt load of money in creating them, or leaving them unsolved, or having a monopoly on the only existing solutions. Solving the above problems might make energy and food cheap, lead to cures for illnesses rather than treatments for symptoms, and empower individuals instead of keeping them dependant on the entrenched power structures who have a very definite interest in staying on top. It would be Bad For The Economy, in other words.
Relying on the military to generate technology, on the other hand, does not have this unpleasant side effect.

But we can establish without doubt that perception is a mathematical object and then prove it mathematically...
Existence Proofs
Theorems which state ``There exists an x such that conclusion'' are known as existence theorems. Many, but not all, theorems of this type are proved using a constructive proof so named because one finds an element x that does satisfy the conclusion. As a simple example consider the statement ``Let a be a real number. There exists a real number x that is a solution to the equation 5x+3 = a''. A proof of this statement would construct such a real number x. Using the rules of arithmetic in the real number system, we know that if a is a real number then so too is (a-3)/5. This is a value of x that is a solution to the equation since 5x +3 = 5(a-3)/5 + 3 = a -3 +3 = a as required. Of course not all proofs are this simple and to produce an element x that will work may require ingenuity.

Wonderful Moisturizing Soap
I am fairly new to Thymes products. I came across a display at a small shop and tried the Goldleaf hand lotion and left the store. On our way home, I kept smelling my hands and I was hooked. Once home, I went online and started ordering. I bought the bar soap and body lotion, then the hand lotion and shower gel. This soap is the most wonderful soap I have ever used. It is so creamy and moisturizing, and leaves behind a light fragrance of this fabulous scent. I have since ordered the sample pack to try different scents and although there are some I really like, this is still my favorite. I now have almost all of the products in Goldleaf. If you want a feminine soft fragrance, and great moisturizing, don't pass up this Goldleaf soap ~ you will SO glad you didn't.
Goldleaf Bar Soap is Heavenly
This soap is my favorite. I am addicted to the wonderful scent of Goldleaf. The soap is extremely rich and full of fabulous natural moisturizers so your bathing experience leaves your skin very soft, clean and scented in this fabulous lingering fragrance. I have used Goldleaf products for years and have never found a scent I love more. I order extra soap to put in drawers before I use it so my clothes also are heavenly scented.
Precious Luxurious Suds
My mother has been a loyal and dedicated Goldleaf client for well over a decade when a friend of hers gifted her with the Goldleaf Bar Soap. She hasn't looked back since despite other similar products. The Goldleaf brand has a unique fragrance that is exceptionally lovely and seems to transport one to a little slice of heaven. I love gifting my mother the Goldleaf products. It's one of the luxuries in life that she really appreciates. I got to use a little bit of her soap (she's a bit possessive), and the scent soothes the mind, while the suds is quite delightful to use.
GoldLeaf Soap
I usually purchase this soap at a local retail shop but they stop carrying it. I can't live without it because while you continue to use the bar, it gives a wonderful fragrance throughout the entire room! So, I started ordering directly to Thymes. Along with the GoldLeaf room spray I ordered , it came by UPS in a beautiful decorated box that was packed with care and precision. (I saved the box for a future use) I have Thymes on my "favorites" and plan to keep ordering by mail. I also received the three gifts of other fragrances and am very excited to try them as well. Thank you for this wonderful product!

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Where does the lymph of the left arm go when the axillary nodes have been removed?
Linda McGrath Boyle PT, DPT CLT-LANA, Cancer Rehab Specialist and OncoLink Lymphedema Team Editor, responds:
Lymph node removal and radiation therapy to the local tissue leave the lymph node bed less able to maintain fluid balance. Not all of the lymph nodes are removed with axillary resection. Following radiation therapy to the involved area, we do consider those lymphatics unable to maintain their function. The lymphatic quadrant includes the chest wall (front and back), any residual breast, and the arm and hand on the same side.
Medical evidence shows that there is "sharing" of function/fluid with the lymph nodes in the opposite arm and in the groin on the same side. These lymph node beds compensate for the loss of function in the axillary lymph nodes affected by cancer treatments. However, the ability of each person's body to compensate varies considerably.
There are also different lymphatic pathways that occur in some individuals. A certain percentage of people actually drain to the lymph nodes in the clavicle (collar bone area). In these individuals, removal of the axillary lymph nodes is less problematic.
Jun 4, 2013 - For women with breast cancer, low-dose weekly paclitaxel is as effective as the standard-dose regimen given every two weeks, with fewer side effects; and axillary radiotherapy may be better than axillary lymph node dissection in the case of positive sentinel lymph node biopsy, according to two studies presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held from May 31 to June 4 in Chicago.

It's cold and flu season. There's no way around it. If it hasn't happened already, it won't be long before the common cold and the flu start making the rounds at your child's school. And kids in school are particularly susceptible because regular hand-washing probably isn't at the top of their to-do lists.
Parents, it's the perfect time to prepare for the sick days ahead. Susan Roth, MD, Pediatrician at NorthShore, shares some effective home remedies for parents with little ones stuck at home with a bad cold.
What home remedies have worked for you?
Are your waistbands a little tighter each year when January arrives? It's not just your imagination. Studies show that the average American gains between one and two pounds during the holiday season, and up to 14% of Americans gain five pounds or more. This fairly small gain tends to increase body fat percentage, which may partially explain why we often have the illusion of a more significant increase around the holidays.
Holiday parties, rich holiday food, the cold weather keeping you indoors and holiday stress can all contribute to this seasonal weight gain. And, though the gain may be modest, for many it could stick around for the rest of the year.
Weight loss doesn't have to be a New Year's resolution this year. Start your year off right with these simple tips from Jeni Panicko, RD, LDN at NorthShore, and enjoy the holiday season full of health and zero regrets:
Focus on maintenance not weight loss. Enjoy the holidays! If you start out trying to deny yourself the food that you enjoy, you're likely to overindulge eventually. Don't try to lose weight during the holidays; try to maintain your weight. The holidays can be stressful enough without the added pressure of a diet.
Have a healthy snack before you head out the door. Holiday parties are a great time to catch up with friends and family, but they aren't the best place to find healthy snacks. When your favorite high-fat holiday fare is on offer, it's not easy to practice moderation, especially if you show up hungry. Eat a healthy snack before you hit the buffet line to avoid overindulging. If you don't have time to eat beforehand, grab a small plate and ensure most of it is filled with healthy fruits and veggies.
Keep moving! The weather outside might be frightful, but don't let that keep you from staying active during the holiday season. There are many outdoor activities that not only embrace the cold but are big calorie-burners for the entire family, like ice-skating and cross-country skiing (no hills required). Make these family activities and you've started a new healthy holiday tradition. Keep it simple, layer up and go for a walk; take the stairs at work before your holiday days off instead of the elevator; do your holiday shopping at the store instead of online.
Don't forget your fruits and vegetables. Seasonal fruits and veggies aren't just a summer thing. Apples, cranberries, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, leeks and pumpkin are all in season during the colder months of the year, and they can be prepared in a multitude of healthy and delicious ways. Fill your plate and don't regret it.
Make some small substitutions that make a big difference. Healthy substitutions can make a huge difference when it comes to calories and fat. Use lower-fat ingredients in your holiday cooking to create healthier versions of your favorite holiday foods. Consider substituting skim milk for whole. In many baked goods, applesauce can replace oil. And the best thing about making these healthy substitutions is that, in terms of taste, you won't notice a thing.
How to you maintain your weight during the holidays?
Stress is our body's reaction to something which upsets the normal balance of life, something more than our usual day-to-day duties and obligations. Stress often triggers a "fight or flight" response. During stressful events, the adrenal glands release adrenalin, a hormone that activates the body's defense mechanisms, causing the heart rate and blood pressure to increase, muscles to tense, digestion to slow and pupils to dilate. These physiological responses give us the strength and focus to escape or to fight when faced with an acute threat. This once ensured the survival of our species when predators were a true threat.
Today, when many think of "stress," they think of something negative. Stress is not a pure evil though. The world we live in now may be filled with less literal predators, yes, but the "fight or flight" response to stress can still be useful. It can help us make good, productive decisions when faced with a deadline at work or school, and we often experience cognitive and emotional growth as a result of some stressful experiences as well.
Some are better equipped to handle stress though. Temperament plays a role in how susceptible people are to stress. Most parents have probably observed that one child might be especially fussy by nature and need extra soothing, compared to another who is calmer and can more easily accept and feel comfort. If one does not handle stress well, it can manifest in a variety of ways physically, including headaches, stomach pain, sleep issues, regular illnesses, anxiety and depression. Chronic stress can trigger a secretion of cortisol, a stress hormone, which can cause heart disease, obesity and the suppression of one's immune system. That's why it's imperative to find ways to both harness the power of stress and find ways to cope with and reduce stress levels when they become too high.
The holidays can be an especially stressful time for many people, from holiday shopping that becomes too much to handle, to travel that makes the holidays feel far from festive.
Zahava Davidson, Head of the Division of Individual and Relational Psychotherapy at NorthShore, shares some ways to manage your stress levels during the holidays and beyond:
Regular exercise. Often the holidays become an excuse for letting a regular exercise routine fall by the wayside. Don't do that again this year. You might have less time during the holidays, but make time for exercise. It's a great stress-reducer and even a short walk each day can do wonders.
Make a list. Finding a better way to manage your time could help you avoid those skyrocketing stress levels altogether. Prioritize your schedule. Chances are, the big things are stressing you out. Which are most important? Which will take the most time? Acknowledge they need to be done, get them out of the way and then enjoy the holidays with your family.
Eat a balanced diet. It's all about taking care of yourself both mentally and physically. If your stress levels are high, you are more susceptible to illnesses, so you need to keep your body healthy too. Try to eat a balanced diet. Yes, this is important even during the holidays. Also consider limiting alcohol and caffeine consumption.
Sleep! Start each day off right. Getting enough sleep each night makes handling stress much easier. When you're tired, you are more likely to lose your temper or become easily agitated. When you're well rested, you can better handle whatever the holidays might throw at you, and maybe even enjoy it.
Ask for help. You don't have to do everything on your own. You might be hosting the big meal or you might be hosting family at your house for the week, but that doesn't mean you have to do all the work. Those who have a strong network of family and friends are better able to handle stress. Let your family and friends take some of the weight off your shoulders.
Try meditation and mindfulness. The holidays can leave some with the feeling that they don't even have time to think. You do. Or you should make time for it. Find time to be alone with your thoughts. For an extra boost of stress relief, consider combining this time with a massage, aromatherapy, yoga or acupuncture to relax your body as well.
Acknowledge that holidays can trigger depression. If your family has recently lost a loved one, or certain relatives and friends will be out-of-town, realize that it's normal to feel grief during the holidays. Allow yourself to feel those emotions, and seek support from community, religious or healthcare resources.
Stick to your budget. The cost of food, gifts, travel and entertaining during the holidays can create a financial burden that greatly adds to stress. Plan in advance how much money you can afford to spend, then stay committed to your budget. If your budget is small, create more affordable ways to celebrate such as exchanging homemade gifts or asking guests to bring a potluck dish.
How do you cope with the stress of the holidays?
Are your kids getting the sleep they need each night? Is your picky eater turning down fruits and vegetables at every meal? Are bedtimes and mealtimes a daily struggle in your home? This is the "tough stuff."
Lindsay Uzunlar, MD, Pediatrician at NorthShore, answers these tough questions, sharing bedtime and mealtime solutions and tips to ensure every member of the family—large and small—is getting the sleep and nutrition they need to thrive.
When should your child start to regularly sleep through the night? When should you be worried that they aren't sleeping through the night or are waking up too frequently? Your child is biologically able to sleep through the night around 3-4 months, so with your help they should be able to sleep through the night by six months—meaning sleeping between 6-7 hours without waking up. If your baby is still waking up frequently at nine months, talk with your pediatrician about some possible sleep-training strategies. Consider talking to your pediatrician about sleep-training techniques earlier than six months, or even during pregnancy.
How do you set bedtimes? How much sleep do children need? A lot of babies need help learning when and how to sleep so this is where you can make a big difference. Observe when your child seems become naturally sleepy or when he starts to be fussier. When that time comes, put him to bed drowsy but not sleeping.
The key to remember is that you are in charge of bedtime, from infancy until they leave your house. Setting bedtimes is really important and can vary depending on age. Children will naturally start to go to bed later as they need less sleep. A newborn needs up to 15-17 hours of sleep; a six-month-old needs 13-14 hours; 9-24 months need about 12 hours; school age between 9-10 hours and adolescents 8-9 hours.
How long is it normal for a child to wet the bed? Is a family history of bedwetting a contributing factor? What can you do to stop it? It is still normal to have nighttime wetting up to the age of six, especially if there is a family history. There are different techniques that you can try. The simplest is just having scheduled wake-up times. With this technique, you set your own alarm and wake him up to take him to the bathroom. In a perfect world, you could wake him up before you go to bed (assuming you go to bed later than him) and then not worry about it for the rest of the night.
How do you wean an infant of needing a pacifier to remain asleep at night? As you may have realized, children use pacifiers as a self-soothing object. So the key to helping them transition to good sleeping without is to replace the pacifier with something else. For instance, this is a great time for a teddy bear or blanket. Put them to sleep with both the pacifier and the new object so that they can learn to associate both with self-soothing. Then you can take away the pacifier and ideally he or she won't notice its absence too much. You can work on having the pacifier gone over the next 2-3 months. I would recommend that you take all pacifiers away at once, that way when he wants it, you can 100% truthfully say that they are "all gone."
What do you do if your child refuses meat? How do you ensure he or she gets enough protein? Vegetarianism is fine for kids but it is understandable to worry about protein intake. There are other sources of protein besides peanut butter and meat. Some other good sources are: eggs, milk, soy products and whole grain cereals. Try to make sure your child gets a combination of these at each meal.
How do you handle a picky eater who won't eat anything other than his or her favorite and probably unhealthy foods? It takes kids about 10-15 tries of a food before they will like it. So making sure that they take a "no thank you" bite will help give them exposure to the new foods. You can also try introducing new tastes of food mixed with their favorites such as peas with macaroni and cheese. Your child should be eating the same dinner that everyone else is eating. If they don't want it, then accept their opinion and let them know that this is the only thing that will be prepared tonight. He or she will be more likely to eat what has been prepared if they know that they don't have other options. The key to helping instill change is consistency. So it is important that anyone who consistently cares for your child be on the same page about introducing new foods.
What are some strategies to help children learn to explore more food types if they have texture sensitivities? For texture sensitivities, it's a good idea to attempt "try and try again." It can take kids awhile to get used to new things, tastes and textures, so just encourage a single bite each meal and if he or she takes it, consider that a success! If you find that this is taking longer than you think it should, speak with your pediatrician.
Are dairy and gluten considered safe for children? Are they a necessary part of a child's diet? Dairy-free and gluten-free diets are very popular right now; however, they are only necessary for a select number of people and otherwise are part of a healthy diet. Children who experience gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, stomach cramping, vomiting or bloating after eating one or both of these may have a sensitivity. In that case, it is a good idea to see your pediatrician about safely removing these from the diet. If they don't experience these symptoms, they are fine and your children can continue eating food with dairy and gluten without issue.
When should babies start drinking animal milk? Do you have recommendations on cow vs. goat? To help with brain growth, babies should remain on breast milk or formula until 12 months old. After that, trying cow's milk is best as it has a more complete set of nutrients. Goat's milk is an option if you feel your child may not be tolerating the cow's milk,but in that case, he should be taking a multivitamin with it.
Some know Diane Cole as the Senior Director of Finance for NorthShore's Research Institute, Foundation and Department of Family Medicine, but others, including many NorthShore patients, know her as a committed and active NorthShore volunteer and donor.
Diane's commitment to giving back has afforded her unique insight into the patient experience at NorthShore, which was only deepened this year when she became a patient herself. Diagnosed with breast cancer in February, Diane underwent treatment at Kellogg Cancer Center. After treatment, Diane and her husband organized a paintball tournament fundraiser to support the research of Katharine Yao, MD, Director of NorthShore's Breast Cancer Surgical Program.
Diane tells us why giving back is so important and how it has impacted her life:
How do you give back? I donate through NorthShore's Employee Combined Appeal to support Medical Education, volunteer for the American Heart Association's Heart Walk and push wheelchairs at NorthShore Glenbrook Hospital. In the past, I have helped out at the Hospitals' Gala and the American Craft Exposition (ACE), which raises funds to support ovarian cancer research conducted at NorthShore.
Why do you give back? NorthShore is worth the effort. It's a good place with caring, compassionate people who work hard every day to help others. Volunteering also makes me feel useful in a personal way.
What impact has giving had on your life? Giving back feels good. I've made some exceptionally nice new friends along the way. Hosting the fundraiser gave me new appreciation for the important work that NorthShore Foundation does every day.
Is there one experience as a volunteer that stands out? Two come to mind: When I volunteered to push wheelchairs at Glenbrook Hospital, I stood by the Ambulatory Care Center entrance near Kellogg Cancer Center. There was a lady who had just lost a loved one after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was heading out the door and broke down in tears in the lobby. I walked over to see if she was okay. She shared her story and I just listened. I gave her a hug. I can't say I've ever hugged someone I didn't know. I hope she is doing okay.
I volunteered to escort guests from the front of Evanston Hospital to the Burch Building where the Red Kite Society was hosting an event for children with autism. One little boy who attended was blind. He took my hand and we walked together from one end of the hospital to the other. I was moved by how happy he seemed. It made me think of how much I take for granted.
What would you say to others to encourage them to give back too? Giving back is rewarding in ways you may not expect. You learn from other volunteers and, in my experience as a NorthShore volunteer, from the patients I'm helping.

Mike Jelinske has been a member of the Associate Board of NorthShore University HealthSystem for nearly two years. The Associate Board is a group of young professionals whose philanthropic events and service programs benefit NorthShore and the surrounding community. An important asset on the member recruitment team, he has brought in many new faces and is now the board's president-elect. In addition to his work with the Associate Board, Mike is an associate at RoundTable HealthCare Partners in Lake Forest.
Mike tells us why he is so passionate about giving back and why he would encourage others to do the same:
How do you give back? For me, giving back is more than just a monetary commitment; it's about providing my time, energy and skills to help an organization make a truly positive impact on someone's life.
Why do you give back? I give back because it's incredibly rewarding, especially if you're passionate about the cause!
What impact has giving had on your life? It has had a profound impact. My general attitude in life is to try to make the world a better place and enjoy every minute of every day. By giving and serving others, I get closer to accomplishing that goal.
What would you say to others to encourage them to give back in some way? The most successful relationships I have are with people and organizations I do more for than they do for me. As the proverb proclaims, "What goes around, comes around."

Everyone knows your body needs exercise to stay in peak shape. But did you know your brain does too? Physical exercise is essential to the health of both your body and brain, but you can do even more to keep your brain in shape. Challenging your brain with cognitive exercises is another great way to keep your mind sharp.
Chad Yucus, MD, Neurology at NorthShore, answers questions and shares some ways to give your brain the workout it needs to stay sharp at any age:
Do brain teasers and puzzles actually help to keep your mind sharp? Are certain types of puzzles and activities better than others? There are many types of cognitive activities that help to keep the brain sharp, involving word games and number games, such as crossword puzzles, Sudoku, computer games and board/card games. There is no strategy that is particularly better than another, but learning a new hobby, game and/or language is a good way to keep the brain sharp.
Why would a new hobby be helpful? Learning a new skill or starting a new hobby that requires skills you don't typically use can be helpful because it challenges you to keep learning and function in a way that is not familiar. It's a great way to stay mentally active whatever your age.
Who benefits from cognitive exercises and activities? Everyone.
How do you keep your brain healthy to prevent memory loss? There is no strategy to truly prevent memory loss, but there are strategies to delay the effects of any pathology (changes caused by disease) that may be developing in the brain. This is based upon building a cognitive reserve before any problems begin to develop. These strategies include the cognitive exercises above, physical exercise, social activities—spending time with friends, planning events—regular sleep patterns and a low-cholesterol Mediterranean diet.
How much time should you devote each day to cognitive exercise? Think of it in terms of regular physical exercise. Your brain and the rest of your body need about the same each day, approximately 30-60 minutes of cognitive and physical exercise every day is a good place to start.
How do you exercise your brain?
Currently about 325,000 American children under the age of 15 have epilepsy, with 200,000 new cases being diagnosed each year, according to the Epilepsy Foundation of America. Epilepsy is a disorder involving repeated seizures, or episodes of disturbed brain function associated with changes in attention and/or behavior. Although some children will outgrow the disorder or can have it easily managed through medication, others may be more severely impacted throughout their lives.
Kent Kelley, MD, Pediatric Neurology, tells parents, caregivers and teachers what they should know in the event of a seizure as well as some steps they can take to prevent harm from seizures before they happen:
Molly, a supposedly pure form of the drug MDMA, is seeing a spike in use among young people. Users of Molly see it as a safe, inexpensive drug with few long-term negative side effects, like addiction. Many celebrities, including most recently Miley Cyrus, have quite literally been singing its praises.
But Molly, known previously in the 1980s and '90s as Ecstasy, is an illegal drug and it comes with many risks. A mind-altering drug that is a stimulant and hallucinogenic, it boosts both serotonin and dopamine levels in the body. Users of the drug report feelings of happiness, euphoria, empathy, decreased anxiety and fear, as well as enhanced sensory perception, which makes it a popular dance club drug.
Jerrold Leikin, MD, Medical Toxicology and Emergency Medicine at NorthShore, dispels some of the myths surrounding Molly:
How do you talk to your kids about drugs?
Approximately 45,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year, and over 38,000 will die from it.
Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at age 53, Diana Pacholski was shocked to discover there is only a six-percent chance of survival of five years for pancreatic cancer patients. Now 58, Diana and Mark Talamonti, MD, Surgeon at NorthShore, discuss pancreatic cancer and how she beat the odds in this NorthShore University HealthSystem patient story.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death. November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, so this month help us spread the word about the disease and importance of continued research.

Meaning of the Term
When people realized that tobacco was harmful to the health of smokers, there was a frantic effort to find a safer solution for this risk. Luckily there was an idea of a safer device that had been shelved back in 1963 of a device that could function like a tobacco cigarette and at the same time do away with the risks associated with smoking tobacco. This was the idea of an electronic cigarette. The company which had registered a patent for the device in 1963 was the first one to develop a prototype for the electronic cigarette in 2003. An electronic cigarette is referred to by many names including a smokeless cigarette and a vapor cigarette.
Soon after the first electronic cigarettes were produced, RUYAN saw the potential of the device as a profitable endeavor. It started producing electronic cigarettes in 2003 and the cigarettes were literally flying out of the shelves at retail stores. This news of a revolutionary new device that was a replacement for tobacco cigarettes spread quickly all over the world. Many companies started to produce the vapor cigarette and there are now dozens of companies that produce the device.
Advantages of the vapor cigarette
The following are among the reasons why the electronic cigarette has become popular virtually overnight.
- The cigarette does not pose severe health risks: compared to tobacco cigarettes, there are no carcinogenous chemicals (in any level higher than found in competing nicotine replacement therapies such as the patch and nicotine gums) present in an electronic cigarette.
- All the chemicals present in an electronic cigarette are tested and while regulation is until now via initiatives initiated by the industry itself in attempt at responsible action (like TVECA) and many studies have now, unlike when first criticized several years ago, have been done and continue to return positive results essentially confirming what advocates for the alternative have though for a very long time.
- On the other hand, tobacco has over 4000 chemicals. It is a product of nature and therefore nobody can decide which chemicals to put in it and which ones to leave out. Many of the chemicals present in tobacco have no effect to the human body. Tobacco however has chemicals which are classified as poisons and some of them are in fact lethal.
- The chemicals that people are most afraid of in tobacco are those that cause cancer after years of use. These chemicals cannot be removed from tobacco and therefore all smokers of the substance risk their lives every time they light a smoke. The vapor cigarette is completely healthy to use.
- The cigarette does not produce smoke (which is significant as it is in burning that combustion produces many of the worst toxins via chemical reaction).
- The vapor produced by an electronic cigarette, Breathe Fresh ECIG told us here at the 'Cabin', is not as a result of a burning substance and can therefore not be classified as smoke. Tobacco smoke smells pungent to people who don't smoke and this is the main reason why tobacco smoking is not as socially acceptable as smoking electronic cigarettes. The smoke produced by tobacco binds to clothes and therefore a smoker carries around http://www.vaporfi.com/ evidence of his habit all over in his clothes.
- Electronic cigarettes don't produce ash: when a person is smoking an electronic cigarette, the cigarette is not getting consumed and no ash is formed. This is as opposed to tobacco smokers who have to find a place to deposit the ash such as an ashtray. Ash from tobacco frequently falls on unwanted surfaces such as clothes and dirties them. In the worst case scenario, smokers of tobacco burn holes in their clothes by accidentally dropping burning ash from their cigarettes. '
- When you smoke an electronic cigarette you don't have to worry about causing a forest fire or perforating your favorite shirt.
- Electronic cigarettes do not pollute the environment. Tobacco cigarettes in stark contrast produce substances that cause much harm to the environment such as carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Other harmful substances are released into the atmosphere from tobacco smoke and therefore cause pollution and environmental degradation.
- A vapor cigarette can be 'Vaped' in areas where tobacco smoking is prohibited. This includes practically all public areas including restaurants and buses. The vapor produced from electronic cigarettes does not pose the dangers associated with secondary cigarette smoke.
The electronic cigarette has many more benefits than the ones mentioned above. This cigarette is one of the best options available today for people who have been trying unsuccessfully to stop smoking tobacco. The main reason for this is because it is an excellent nicotine delivery solution and it delivers just the right amount of nicotine that a person needs and when he needs it.
Doctors have been known to use electronic cigarettes in programs to help people to quit smoking. The treatment process for nicotine addiction is quite similar to the treatment for addicts of hard drugs such as cocaine. This is because you have to provide the addictive substance to the person and then slowly reduce the quantity until the addiction is cured. Nicotine present in tobacco is quite addictive and people find it very difficult to quit. Even in the case a person fails to quit smoking electronic cigarettes, at least they don't have serious health risks like tobacco. There are many people who have reported being finally able to kick the habit of smoking tobacco after getting started on smoking e-cigs.

In the next two decades, the world will face two major — and opposing — demographic challenges: rapid population growth and rapid population aging. In an increasingly economically interdependent world, policymakers will simultaneously face a strain on resources caused by population growth and a shortage of labor spurred by the graying of the population.
This report explores the need for nations to adjust their thinking and policy toward attracting the coveted elite class of highly skilled global talent as emerging and middle-income countries increasingly attempt to woo back their nationals and engage their diaspora to help move their economy forward.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.
A look at Mexico's slowing population growth, which, coupled with economic developments and changes in U.S. immigration policy (including stricter border control), has resulted in a slight slowdown in Mexican immigration to the United States relative to the 1995 to 2000 period.
This report looks at the trends and emerging demographics in Asia. From 1960 to 2000, the region experienced a major population boom, however, by 2040, the 15-to-34 age group population will start to shrink.
China and India are major players in international migration. Both countries have very large populations that will continue to grow in the coming years. The available pool of potential migrants from China and India will remain high although population size and density (known as demographic variability) will change from year to year in both countries.
This report examines the advantages and disadvantages of two fundamentally different approaches to economic migrant selection—demand driven and employer led systems and human-capital-accumulation focused and government led systems, best illustrated by "points systems," which apportion numerical values to desirable human-capital characteristics.
This report examines the immigration regimes of European nations, particularly those with points systems and "shortage lists," and highlights the flaws of such systems which base selection on formal indictors of applicants' educational qualifications, work experience, previous salary, and occupation.

This flat, breezy, low-lying area criss-crossed by water lies along the river Ems and the Dollart, an inlet of almost 100km² to the west of the Ems estuary. The Dollart was created by the advancing sea in the Middle Ages and forms the last big tidal brackish-water bay in the German-Dutch Wadden Sea, where salt water mingles with fresh water. A ferry ride across the bay is the highlight of the route but other attractions include the polder landscape with its fine farmsteads, moorland and sandy heathland, Romanesque churches, quaint little fishing villages, port towns and the maritime atmosphere. Along the whole of the route you can expect cultural gems, be it buildings reflecting the region's history or the inimitable atmosphere of small marshland ports. The Ems-Dollart region offers a remarkably diverse, internationally unique cluster of church organs, many of them excellently preserved. Brick-making was an important local industry here for many years, as can be seen from the red brick houses, which are as much a part of East Friesland as tea and curly kale.

Baseball Comes to Life
That is really what baseball broadcasters are. Whether they are giving play-by-play of live game action on the radio or providing commentary about team chemistry on television – they are the voices that bring the game to life.
There are the broadcasters who remind me of childhood – the ones whose voices I never mistake. There are the ones I've grown to love, because they bring live action from my favorite team each night.
There are broadcasters who root for the home team, ones who talk about statistics and ones who get emotional when they see a great play. These men and women make the game interesting when you can't be there in person.
I've learned a lot about baseball from broadcasters. You learn nuances of the game that may go unnoticed when taking in the game by yourself. Sometimes commentary even provides insight into players that you wouldn't know otherwise – like how a pitcher has been working on a new delivery or how teammates got into an argument during batting practice before the game.
Sometimes broadcasters are Hall of Fame ballplayers who spent 20 years in the big leagues and sometimes they are just a sports fan who grew up loving the game.
During his acceptance speech for the 2010 Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting, Jon Miller told the story of the moment that changed his life as a kid in Candlestick Park.
"I'm looking into that visiting broadcast booth and right in the middle of an inning there's a batter at the plate and that broadcaster says, 'There's a curve ball, low and outside, Ball 2'," said Miller. "And then he grabbed a big handful of, I thought it was french fries, and he jammed all these french fries into his mouth and he's chewing on those fries, and while he's still chewing the next pitch comes in and he says, without missing a beat, "There's a fast ball outside, Ball 3." Then he grabbed a cup full of whatever. He took a big pull on that cup. And as a ten year old I sat there and said, 'That is the life for me'."
Throughout the month of September, fans will have a chance to celebrate their favorite broadcasters by voting online to determine three of the ten finalists for the 2012 Ford C. Frick Award. Voting will take place on the Hall of Fame's Facebook page, from Sept. 1 through Sept. 30.
Seventy-five candidates will appear on the fan ballot – two representing every current big league team and 15 at-large selections. The three highest vote-getters will join seven other candidates as finalists for the Award. Make sure your voice is heard and vote!
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
