Florida House Committee Passes Election Reform Bill
February 14, 2013 | WMFE - The Florida House Ethics and Elections Subcommittee has passed a measure that the committee's chairman says represents substantive elections reform for Florida. The bill addresses a number of issues that caused trouble in last November's election including the number of early voting days and the length of the ballot.
The proposed bill would increase the number of early voting days to a minimum of eight and a maximum of 14. It would also give county elections supervisors the option of holding early voting the Sunday before the election and allow supervisors to designate more locations for early voting sites.
The measure would also limit the length of proposed constitutional amendment ballot summaries.
Representative Jim Boyd, a Republican from Bradenton, says he thinks the measure has an excellent chance for passage by the full House.
"We've expanded some of the requests that have been made by individual supervisors and we have taken that testimony from the Secretary of State and even the public that have come to testify before the committee very seriously."
Some Democrats on the committee raised concerns that the bill doesn't go far enough but it passed through the committee unanimously.

I think it also makes a difference which model of Riedells you're switching from, and how stiff a boot you need. Are you doing single jumps or double jumps? Do you break boots down quickly?
I've been in SP Teri's for a long time and am about to move into my third pair of KT-2's. What I like about the KT-2 design is that it is a stiff boot, but the notch in the lace area allows you to bend your ankles in them so they aren't so hard to break in. The extra piece of leather (or plastic, if you get a stock boot) keeps them from creasing prematurely right by the notch. Best of both worlds, IMO. As for not being high/roomy enough in the toes, I don't think that should be a problem with the new heat-moldable boots because as long as they are wide enough and long enough, the shape will conform to the shape of your toes during heat-molding.
It sounds like you're getting customs. Would it be possible for you to give SP Teri your measurements over the phone and ask them to send you the closest size in stock boots so you could just try them on and tell them how close they are? I started with stock boots (size 6-1/2 B) and told them they were a little narrow in the front, a little big in the heel, and just a tad short in the length of the left boot. This information was probably more helpful to them than my measurements, because when I got my customs, they fit perfectly. People who just send in their measurements sometimes get a surprising variance in sizing (not only with SP Teris, but with other brands, too).

It seems that Mao Asada is still supporting the Japanese skating industy. Ichiro Suzuki is the leader in past eight years, but Kagawa can overtake him in near future.
Japanese skating federation suggested a possible cancellation on sending Japanese skaters to Cup of China.
Mao Asada, Miki Ando, Daisuke Takahashi, Tatsuki Machida, Takahashi-Tran were originally scheduled to take part in the event.
I can't translate (don't speak any Japanese) but I've read about this elsewhere and my understanding is that this is due to the political conflict (real world, not the skating kind) between China and Japan.
Obviously it would be bad for the skaters, the event and the fans.

The JSF president Seiko Hashimoto says, "under the current situation, we can't send athletes to China." Asada, Ando and Takahashi are scheduled to compete at Cup of China.
There are about seven weeks to COC and the "situation" will calm down in time. But if they really decide not to send Japanese skaters, I shall support. It is not the first time that the Chinese communist dictatorship is agitating anti-Japanese sentiments for their political motives. I have no trust on the Chinese side.
Yes, Japan and China are almost at war right now. Go BBC or CNN or any other news site.

Thanks for the article links. I am in the US and 99% of our news coverage has been on the Libyan crisis. I did hear that Japan and China were having problems but I did not realize the seriousness of the situation.
not a china related news
Grand Prix Final 2013 will be held in Fukuoka city.
When you see Japanese people getting punched on the street in Shanghai only because you're Japanese or the Japanese school forced to closed temporarily and the Japanese malls and factories badly damaged, I think the federation has no choice but to think about the safety of the skaters.
Side note: Lexus (of Toyota Motor Co.) is this year's title sponsor of Cup of China:
Excerpt from the Aug. 28, 2012 press release:
Starting with the title sponsorship of the Cup of China, Lexus will provide long-term and comprehensive support for the development of figure skating in China. During the signing ceremony, Lexus also announced the launch of "Lexus Figure Skating Open Day", which is an equally exciting program under which free figure skating trainings will be provided for young people in China on a regular basis. Akira Sasaki, Chairman of Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. said, "There are children with no access to this elegant sport. We value the desire cherished by each and every child. We hope that with this program, we can help children in China to pursue their dreams in the skating rink." The open day program will be a long-term initiative. After the first year in Beijing, the program will also be staged in other Chinese cities, so that the enchanting beauty of figure skating could be appreciated by young people everywhere in the country.

Does the article state whether or not the Japanese skaters will be reassigned to other GP events?

|profile views
I am originally from Brooklyn Park, MN where I was raised by my parents Jerry and Nancy. My father is a boiler operator for the State of Minnesota in St. Paul, MN. My mother is a Media ESP at an Elementary School in Brooklyn Park. I also have a brother named Phillip who is attending Bethel University in Arden Hills, MN for a degree in Business with an emphasis in Marketing.
I graduated from Osseo Senior High in 2007. After high school, I went to Gustavus majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Theatre. While attending Gustavus as a student I worked as a Student Supervisor in the Theatre & Dance department scene shop. Working there granted me the opportunity to work on some aspect of every show the department put on through the 4 years I attended. I designed lights, assistant stage managed, and even acted when I was there.
While at Gustavus, I met my first girlfriend. Her name is Patricia. Yeah, I know we have the same name, how narcissistic. She graduated in the same class with a double major in Classics and Mathematics. She is now attending Notre Dame in South Bend, IN in the architecture program.
After graduation, I was looking for a job and I noticed that Gustavus had an opening. I figured I would apply to Gustavus for the second time in my life and I got accepted again.
I worked at Gustavus for 8 months and moved to IN to be with my girlfriend. I am now working at Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN as the Assistant Director of Web Communications.
In my free time, I like to go shooting with my digital camera. I also enjoy to attend theatre and dance performances. I attempt to see all of the Gustavus Theatre and Dance shows, and am a season ticket holder at the Guthrie theater in Minneapolis, MN. I like to watch comedy shows on Netflix or Hulu+ (favorites being Arrested Development, Community and 30 Rock).

For service members returning home from combat, PTSD diagnoses are commonplace and extensive. But one VA psychologist argues that the complications of PTSD compound to create a moral injury — one that requires a community, not a clinic, in order to heal.
Human memory is a sensory experience says psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk. Through his longtime research and innovation in trauma treatment, he shares what he's learning how bodywork like yoga or eye movement therapy can restore a sense of goodness and safety. And what he's learning speaks to a resilience we can all cultivate in the face of the overwhelming events that after all make up the drama of culture, of news, of life.

As I listened to Dr. Kolk's
As I listened to Dr. Kolk's description of EMDR, I thought about the eye movements of REM sleep and the important part it plays in sense-making for the brain. Perhaps in the case of trauma, the EMDR sequence triggers a similar processing capability. It seems like a functional MRI or brain scan would show areas of the brain active during REM in a health person and undergoing EMDR to see if they are similar. Trauma victims can have nightmares and other sleep disturbances that may prevent or seriously affect different levels of sleep. In short, this was a very intriguing and information dense episode of the show.
I had the same observation
I had the same observation and question. Wish he had talked more about REM sleep and how it might relate to the healing of trauma. Great program once again!
I have had EMDR and was told
I have had EMDR and was told it was supposed to mimic essentially the same processes as REM sleep.
Thank you for inviting one of
Thank you for inviting one of the most accomplished leaders in the field of traumatic stress to share his insights and research about PTSD and the hopeful and encouraging advances in treatment.
I did want to add an additional insight based on my own clinical experience and those of countless colleagues. While the present research demonstrates how remarkably efficacious EMDR is in treating and resolving the effects of single incident adult onset trauma -- it has also proven to be an elegant protocol in treating early and complex attachment traumas. I believe that when the research on EMDR's application to this debilitating form of PTSD is further along, the outcomes will continue to reinforce how multi-faceted this brilliant intervention is when creatively, thoughtfully and rigorously practiced.
I went to EMDR after an adult
I went to EMDR after an adult trauma that escalated to PTSD. But like many of us who developed PTSD, I had a background of substantial complex trauma and those memories started to come out after the events as an adult. I never forgot the trauma memories from my early years but they were very "disconnected" and floating, without any emotional reality at all. The feeling of being out of control, adrenalized at unpredictable times, and having flashbacks is truly disturbing, but once they started coming out a lot of things that had been present as long as I could remember made sense. PTSD in that sense represents freedom, because I don't think I would have dealt with the underlying issues without it.
For me a lot of my work required getting in touch with body experiences, exactly as Dr. van der Kolk discusses. The body often "knows" things before the conscious brain does. The relaxation and anxiety tolerance skills are absolutely necessary for my day to day existence, because I'm still triggered by things, primarily loud sounds, flashing lights, etc. The EMDR process itself seems to allow access to the "reptile" brain. When it works properly (i.e., goes fast enough to tax executive function) it's quite different than being ordinarily conscious.
I found myself at age 18 in
I found myself at age 18 in prison with a life sentence. Somewhere early on I got the idea that the body, mind, and spirit needed to be equally nourished. So education, exercise, tai chi, yoga, martial arts, meditation, and many other practices became part of my life. I found myself somewhat unexpectedly released in 2009, after nearly 25 years behind bars. That time had its share of traumatic experience, and was overall a very hard way to live. These practices, especially body practices and zazen, helped me to not only survive, but to become a completely different person, more compassionate, more in my body, more aware of my emotions etc.
Congratulations John... May
Congratulations John... May your life be filled with good things. Life outside of prison will have it's own traumas. I hope the practices you've learned to become a more compassionate person will sustain you and that you can find a way to share your insights with others.
My son was sentenced to 32
My son was sentenced to 32 years in prison 10 years ago at age 18. He is using his time in a manner similar to you and would appreciate hearing of your experiences with meditation, martials arts, healing the mind and body.
If you would correspond with him, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Would like to know more about
Would like to know more about EMDR - maybe another program. Thank you for the wonderful work you do "On Being."
I had repressed memories of
I had repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse come back 22 years ago. As first a victim, next a survivor and now a "Transcender", I could relate to everything Bessel van de Kolk said. Thank you so much for this amazing interview. It brought tears of Joy and Gratitude for my journey and where I am today!
EMDR has proved a lifesaver
EMDR has proved a lifesaver for me in dealing with multiple instances of trauma. I've been in treatment for three years, now, and little by little the process has taken all the power out of the memories that paralyzed me for so long. The work continues - we have several years of trauma to process - but I'm no longer trapped in the terrifying maelstrom of PTSD at its untreated height.
Yoga has also helped me immeasurably, for exactly the reasons that Dr. Kolk suggested. Yoga gets me back into my body, forcing (in the gentlest way) my body and brain to communicate, and for me to pay attention to how my body feels. Hearing Dr. Kolk talk about the benefits of movement for relieving trauma reminded me how valuable yoga has been.
Thank you for a wonderful show.

As a young mom and dad we added yogic breathing to our childrens upbringing. What magic. As we would go past things that our children would want they would start to get anxious and cranky. We would say, take three deep breaths and magic would happen.
Yoga helped keep stress from our family and is still working today, 25 years later.
I enjoyed this valuable
I enjoyed this valuable interview and invite you to learn about another powerful somatically grounded, deeply nourishing and spiritual approach to healing offered by Cass Phelps at www.awake-one.com. He's unique and impeccable in my 7 years of learning with him. His videos show his gifts for creating new openings for physical, emotional and spiritual vitality.
Listening to this I was
Listening to this I was struck by how much it had in common with the book The Instinct to Heal. Grateful to hear such wisdom is spreading and be applied to help others heal and live rich engaged lives.
Very therapeutic just
Very therapeutic just listening to this after the acquittal verdict yesterday. It has been so painful to go through this again and experience again the callousness and inhumanity of American deep racism as codified in the criminal justice system,
It was a wonderful show, BUT
It was a wonderful show, BUT I find these types of shows SO DEPRESSING since I now know there is help out there somewhere, BUT no help for me living in northern Minnesota. Such a feeling of hopelessness!!!!!
It is difficult if you live
It is difficult if you live in a small community, to travel to get any medical or psychological counseling. I live in a small town and resources are limited. I don't know what you have experienced in your life, but just getting out walking or exercise of some type has helped daily to relieve some depression and anxiety. I wish you well and please, never give up hope.
If you have access to water
If you have access to water try paddleboarding, especially at sunrise or sunset. I am 65 years old and on a board 5 to 6 days a week. It helps me think, breath, and stand. This evening a Bald Eagle led the way along a Lake Superior shoreline.
I'm nitnsureni undrstand how
I'm nitnsureni undrstand how you can find this show depressing, no matter where you live. The very purpose and essence is to help YOU discover a way of and a way to deal with your situation, even if you have to do so by yourself. I live on a desert island, in a manner of speaking. I have been alone and isolated and haven't been able to figure out how to get off of this island! It is exactly this show and others like it that are helping me to build a life raft. These are tools you build to take with you wherever you are. Like the writer who spent 25 years in prison. If there is even one person who lives in your town, then you have someone who can help you.
My heart goes out to you after reading such feelings of hopelessness. The affliction itself can cause deep feelings of hopelessness. In my search for therapy I came across therapists who skype over the internet. While it may not be an ideal solution, there IS hope. And there are solutions available to you. You might have to do a little more digging than others in metropolitan areas. I'd be glad to try to offer more suggestions for you. Maybe you could try a search for therapists who use skype to help people over the internet. Psychologytoday.com is a resource that allows you to filter your search by region, specialties, skype-ability, etc. As always when gathering data from the internet, please make sure the therapists you find have credentials and are experienced in the area of expertise you requre.
Roberta, I wanted to add my
Roberta, I wanted to add my voice to those reaching out to you. There is so much you can do for yourself, as you continue to look for the right professional help for you. As EMDR proves itself to be an effective treatment, it will become more available, and more counselors will train in it. I want to underscore the advice given to you already in replies above, and add one more. Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT ), EMDR, and Art Therapy all have bilateral components, meaning the eye movements, and tapping on both sides of the body activate both sides of the brain. Art Therapy activates right brain (simplified, also where the trauma "lives") through the process of image making (doesn't matter what it looks like, it's the process of creating), then activates the left brain as you process what you made and what you were experiencing through words, written and spoken. My understanding is that any bilateral work that activates both sides, forces the two sides, with very different preferences, to communicate with each other, and that allows more of the brain to work on solving the conflicts. For EFT you can look it up on YouTube to see it practiced, and try it yourself. There is also a book on EFT for PTSD that I have just purchased, to add to my own clinical practice. Keep asking counselors about EMDR, as the more they hear requests for it, the more likely they will be to do the training. (Leave your number with them, and ask them to call you if they ever decide to add it to their treatment offerings.) As for Art Therapy in the treatment of trauma, I continue to be excited about the power of it to heal. I became an Art Therapist because in my 20s I had a traumatic 2 years that escalated into PTSD, and healed myself through my art. It took about a year, was very intense, and I devoured every bit of info I could get my hands on. That was in the 1980s, a time when information was not so available. You can find out more about Art Therapy from the American Art Therapy Association at http://www.arttherapy.org/ Please continue to search for a counselor, but in the meantime, find ways to heal yourself and try everything that feels right. Allow you healing to unfold, and know that you are a survivor! You are powerful beyond measure, and you will find your way! You CAN heal. Also look into Post traumatic Growth from positive psychology. Many of us on this post will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!
I hope Dr. Kolk gets to read
I hope Dr. Kolk gets to read this. Hearing his talk this morning was an AHA! moment. I've been suffering with memories of early childhood abuse for 62 years and never really got the importance of the mind/body connection until this morning. Listening to his talk was a freeing experience. Thank you!
I feel this show makes so
I feel this show makes so many striking points about why various sorts of movement are critical to the well being of individuals and the healing of various forms and levels of trama, large or small. Weather through yoga, rapid eye movement etc... I learned about stress hormones and how restricting movement is so harmful to the psyche of individuals. I appreciated the reminder that having students sit still during school all day and not be exposed to arts, music and other types of movement is not helpful for learning or the healthy psychological development of the child. I add that age appropriate school recess is critical to PK-12 students social and educational development. Not to mention it is humane, Thanks you for this very important "Restoring the Body" by Bessel Van Der Kolk.
I was diagnosed with a malady
I was diagnosed with a malady a few years ago, I sought the philosophies of phenomenology and deconstruction, philosophies that involve the "being before the gaze," which for me is this psychological malady. After a few years I have intuited this malady trying to understand its system. It was a subject, amid others on the talk show, how does the knowledge of such system, bare on our relations among our fellow man. I have found that we are equal in our plasticity. That from the realization that we are an open and fictile system we can see that evil is rather extrinsic. And may then join hands in unity; to bring to blossom healing.
I am the owner of a 53 year
I am the owner of a 53 year old mind and body that has seen much stress and trauma during life. From the 'difficult' childhood, death of my best friend when I was driving the car, cancer, and death of my 19 year old son I find my self trudging on ...and on and on.
Until my son died, I was always a 'glass half full' person through it all. After his death, I was a ' this glass is empty' person.
I am on a journey to heal myself and revive some sort of Joie de vivre. The awareness of this need has made me open and seeking anything that might help. Listening to the Bessel van der Kolk interview by Krista Tippit I have learned that I am on the right track to healing. I am with a therapist who does talk therapy and EMDR. I found that the EMDR has given me enormous relief. I know that I need to use this more in therapy but I also find talk therapy so helpful. I have done yoga, ballet and dance and though I can't do what I could 30 years ago it helps. I currently work hours in my garden which I call my church. The movement and body awareness that is attached to gardening is very healing to me. I choose not to listen to the news other than to learn the headlines 2nd hand. I just started seeing a natural path doctor to heal the 'gut wrenching' in me that can't go on. I am still seeing MD doctors but I am finding after just one visit, with her more sympathetic and natural ideas for healing that make sense to me.
As I said, I am on my way to healing and Dr. Kolk has validated the many things that have come across my path whether I know why they are working or how they got there. I can't wait to order his book and I am so grateful for your podcast, Krista Tippit because I learn so much with such a soothing medium.
This program gave me a
This program gave me a different insight on my own recovery and perhaps what was going on with my husband before he died by suicide and why my son 2yrs earlier had ended his life by suicide. And why did I cope so differently than these two precious people in my life? One comment that was made on the program was "Be an agent of your own recovery". Although traumatic images occurred in my head and still do, but are becoming more faded, I had decided that after my son died, I would be a survivor and I would be here for my other children and I would again enjoy life.
I am a Life Coach through
I am a Life Coach through eMerge Services which has a military component (http://www.emergemilitaryservices.org/). We strive to move people forward in their lives and are active in helping return veterans in their re-integration. I was fascinated and inspired by this piece with Dr. Kolk. I am going to be researching this further and applying what I learn to better serving people who have experienced extreme trauma. Thank you as always for what On Being provides as a light in this world, picking us all up in the reflection!

In addition to the
In addition to the suggestions on today's broadcast, two other very effective trauma recovery tools are Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT ), developed by Gary Craig, and Focusing, developed by Eugene Gendlin. Both can be taught to the client and then self applied if desired. I have used them both extensively professionally and personally and they seem less complicated to me that EMDR.
EFT is not as evidenced based
EFT is not as evidenced based like EMDR, and is a "take off" of EMDR., where clients are left on their own to do their own movements. EMDR also uses movements clients can do on their own like "Butterfly Tapping" to help ground them. The research backing EMDR protocols is extensive, while I am not saying EFT doesn't work for some people, it does not have the 30 years of research behind it. There is a reason for the EMDR protocol, which isn't so "complicated" once you practice it regularly, and I say this as a clinician. The protocols of EMDR are grounding for the client and needed to focus the client and heal the trauma fully.
I sat, listened, and was
I sat, listened, and was inspired. All we have heard before and knew -- and knew we knew -- is distilled in honesty and wisdom as Dr. Kolk and Krista explore the awfulness of trauma and the beauty and grace of recovery and helping people recover. Someone said, "I am not cured, but I am healed." That is goodness; that is grace. I will share this inspiring program with people who fear, with people who have known trauma, with people who work to help, with people who want to be a part of healing and to be healed. Thank you for this most powerful and hopeful discussion. We know what to do. Today is Good Samaritan Sunday in many places of worship. The program reminds us: go and do likewise. We know what to do.
I had a deep, physical &
I had a deep, physical & emotional reaction to this segment of On Being. The timing was, for me, clearly a "God thing". I'd was driving away from having just hiked several miles of trails in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, wondering why I had stopped getting outdoors and moving my body as I'd so loved to do as a child.
September will the be the 30th anniversary of a violent kidnapping/beating/sexual assault I survived at 18. After 20 years of traditional "talk therapy", I was introduced to EMDR and it changed my feelings about this trauma almost completely, as described, releasing the emotion of the events and making more just part of my story. (FYI, I respond better to EMDR done with audio stimulation more than visual. That's what's so cool about it! It isn't just an "eye movement" thing!)
Four years ago, I discovered yoga, and have begun, gradually, to see the reconnection with my body of which you both spoke. I began yoga to deal with being quite overweight and wanting to become more flexible. Little did I know that it would help me transition off antidepressants and begin to, as you put it, feel safe in my body again. I know I still have work to do, but I believe, from the center of my being, that this is the route to healing and truly living again! Hiking alone in a national park in the rain began to make me think about how I want to live this 2nd half of my life. And then came your program, which reminded me how I can begin this healing/living process! THANK YOU!!!

I note that there is no transcript to this Being episode.
Over the years, the transcripts have been far more useful to my learning than listening.
I hope they will be continued.

I had the wonderful
I had the wonderful experience of benefitting from EMDR treatment by Dr Van der Kolk after experiencing septic shock , after a 3 day coma and multiple intubations to deal with severe breathing failure. EMDR helped me stop 6 months of nightmares from this ICU trauma . One deep interview followed by a single EMDR session liberated me from this post traumatic sequel.
This was a lovely
This was a lovely conversation about a deeply difficult subject, leaving a life affirming sense and hopefulness.
In addition to the many benefits of EMDR which are researched, I wonder what the good doctor's experience is with "tapping" and ERT (Emotional Release Technique) which seems so popular and easily accessible for changing thought patterns, etc these days/ Thanks for another good hour..
I am working at a summer camp
I am working at a summer camp with kids 6-13 years old with various attachment disorders, trauma, and ADHD. I know very little about ADHD, so I may be far off... but, I wonder if the hyperactivity, inability to focus, and aggression is a product of their trauma. In the show, he gave an example of how stress produces energy to get through the circumstance. Perhaps these children's own stress has created an huge amount of hyperactivity???? Sometimes, they appear vacant... as if they are not in their mind and cannot control their body. I don't know? ... just a thought. I'm still young in my career. I have also worked with victims/ survivors of sexual abuse. Similarly, the body and mind are disconnected. I love how he says, "You have to own your body." Great show!
I was so happy to hear Dr.
I was so happy to hear Dr. van der Kolk talk about using Structural Integration (aka Rolfing) as a way to eliminate the physical patterns that allow trauma to define a person's posture, movement, and experience of being in their body. I have witnessed countless instances of clients being freed from the literal, soft-tissue restrictions that had been hindering their growth and progress, in ways that talk therapy could never begin to touch (pun intended).
Some of these memories were deeply lodged in the body, even though the conscious mind had long forgotten.
As an educator, I truly
As an educator, I truly appreciated Dr. Kolk's statement, "In order to have a mind that focuses, you have to move your body. You need to sing with other people, and if you think that your kids are going to be better if you keep them stuck still in a classroom taking tests, then you don't know anything about human beings." I wish that the politicians, most of whom have never spent a day teaching in a classroom, shared Dr. Kolk's opinion. Instead, the curriculum for public education is driven by standardized testing - a billion dollar industry. It is no wonder that in such an environment where both students and teachers are told their worth is determined by test scores that the level of stress is crippling - physically and emotionally.
I have witnessed students in
I have witnessed students in tears days before an exam..... in tears. And most recently, teachers in tears, as they give up their profession.

I have been in private
I have been in private practice in psychoanalysis for many years. Several long term patients, while still benefitting from being listened to deeply had been stuck on a plateau for years until I studied Focusing Oriented Therapy, which incorporates listening to the body for its wisdom. After introducing this to my practice, they all quickly and dramatically reached new levels of being. The sessions are more alive than ever and we are thrilled to continue. Each session is a new and surprising adventure. The body does know exactly what we need to heal.

There was a mention of a program in the Berkshires that offers arrested juveniles a chance to study Shakespeare instead of detention. Cab you tell me the name of the program? Wonderful show.
Bessel knocks it out of the
Bessel knocks it out of the park again, as usual! Just one point of clarification: EMDR is not only useful for single incident trauma, but also very effective for complex trauma/PTSD.
See Foa, E.B., Keane, T.M., Friedman, M.J., & Cohen, J.A. (2009). Effective treatments for PTSD: Practice Guidelines of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies New York: Guilford Press. EMDR was listed as an effective and empirically supported treatment for PTSD, and was given an AHCPR "A" rating for adult PTSD.
As noted in the American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines (2004, p.18), in EMDR "traumatic material need not be verbalized; instead, patients are directed to think about their traumatic experiences without having to discuss them." Given the reluctance of many combat veterans to divulge the details of their experience, as well as other trauma survivors, this factor is relevant to willingness to initiate treatment, retention and therapeutic gains.
The World Health Organization (WHO) now has "guidelines on problems and disorders specifically related to stress." (In press)
"Individual or group cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with a trauma focus, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), or stress management should be considered for adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."
"Individual or group cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with a trauma focus or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) should be considered for children and adolescents with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."
Roberta, I don't know where
Roberta, I don't know where you live but feel free to check out www.traumahealing.com for resources a practitioners who have learned another mind body approach for trauma. There are some Somatic Experiencing Practitioners in Northern Mn...just not sure where the live in comparison to you. This is another approach that Bessel endorses. Blessings on your healing journey!
Just want to mention Dr.
Just want to mention Dr. Shapiro's new book "Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR." Dr. Shapiro is the founder/creator of EMDR but all the proceeds from the book go to two charities: the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program and the EMDR Research Foundation). Anyway, the book is an easy read, helps you understand what's "pushing" your feelings and behavior, helps you connect the dots from past experiences to current life. Also gives lots of really helpful ways that are used during EMDR therapy to calm disturbing thoughts and feelings. And anyone can use some of the techniques in this user-friendly book!

Like-Minded Conversations
Yoga has infiltrated law schools and strip malls, churches and hospitals. This 5,000-year-old spiritual technology is converging with 21st-century medical science and with many religious and philosophical perspectives. Seane Corn takes us inside the practicalities and power of yoga. She describes how it helps her face the darkness in herself and the world, and how she's come to see yoga as a form of body prayer.
One in ten Americans, and even more dramatically, about one in four women, will experience clinical depression at some point in their lives. We take an intimate look at the spiritual dimensions of this illness and its aftermath.

Taking steps to transform care
Friday, 19 July 2013
Proposals to support the transformation of care for older people in Hampshire, offering better choice, greater independence and improved quality are to be considered by Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Adult Social Care, Councillor Anna McNair Scott on 26 July.
In order to meet the challenges of an ageing population, at a time when the public sector is under severe financial constraints, it is vital that older people's services are sustainable, cost effective and offer people choice and control.
To meet the changing needs and aspirations of older people, the County Council is developing new ways of providing care and support which will help people to remain as independent as possible, for as long as possible, such as Extra Care Assisted Living. The County Council is also investing in community based services that promote independence and choice and offer better value for money such as supporting people when they are discharged from hospital through re-ablement and the expertise of community response teams, support for carers and telecare assistive technology.
At a time when more older people are choosing alternatives to residential care, wanting to remain more independent, the Executive Member for Adult Social Care, Cllr Anna McNair Scott, will be asked to approve an extensive consultation on the possible closure of four residential homes for older people and to use the land or capital released by the sale of the land to develop Extra Care Assisted Living schemes in these communities.
The homes are Bulmer House, Petersfield, Cranleigh Paddock, Lyndhurst, Deeside, Basingstoke, and Nightingale Lodge, Romsey.
People deciding to go into residential care generally do so at a much later stage in life when their care needs are higher than a traditional residential home is designed to support. They also have higher expectations around the service they receive and the physical environment.
The Council regularly reviews its care homes to ensure they provide the standards of accommodation needed and expected by both current and future residents. Some of the Council's traditional residential homes that were built in the 1960s,70s and early 80s are unable to meet these aspirations and provide difficulties for residents and staff, with narrow corridors, insufficient space for care equipment and shared toilet facilities. The four homes have been identified as having significant issues which prevent them being suitable for meeting the needs of older people in the future.
Hampshire County Council has a strong track record of investing in care facilities to meet the needs of the ageing population and is currently extending two of its residential and nursing homes - Oakridge in Basingstoke and Westholme in Winchester. The Council is investing £45 million over a decade to stimulate the development of Extra Care Assisted Living schemes across the whole county to add to the four new build schemes and 12 enhanced sheltered housing schemes that have already opened.
Extra Care Assisted Living provides people with their own individual apartment, coupled with access to communal and shared space, in modern, high quality, attractive buildings close to local facilities. It offers clear benefits to service users and their relatives including preventative and well-being services to increase independence, qualified staff onsite to respond quickly to a variety of personal care and other support needs and the opportunity to meet new friends and become part of a vibrant community. Schemes include both one and two bed units to enable couples with differing levels of need to remain living together. Twenty-four hour care and support is available on-site, to be used progressively by people as their needs increase, avoiding early or unnecessary entry to care home settings.
Research has shown that people living in Extra Care housing enjoy better health, have fewer hospital stays and a lower number of falls. They are also less likely to move into residential care.
Three of the residential homes have day care on site and, if following consultation, a decision is taken to close the homes, the proposals are to temporarily relocate Bulmer House Day Centre and Masters House Day Centre (Nightingale Lodge), until these could move into the new Extra Care developments. It has been identified that there is sufficient supply of day services to meet the demand in the Lyndurst area and therefore as part of any consultation views will be sought on the closure of Cranleigh Paddock Day Centre.
Cllr McNair Scott said: "When considering the proposals I will be looking for assurances that the needs of current residents in these homes will be the Council's top priority throughout any consultation period.
"If I agree to a consultation, this will be a very difficult time for residents of the homes, day care clients, families and staff and I want to be confident that they will all be fully supported and helped to take part.
"I also need to be satisfied that the proposals being put to me for consultation will help the Council to support people the way they wish to be supported in the future and that they will provide a sustainable solution to delivering care for an ageing population at a time when resources are shrinking."

The Government should take steps to regulate listed company executive pay, says ACCA in its response to the Department of Business, Innovation & Skills' consultation on high pay.
The accountancy body is concerned that executive pay at the largest companies has achieved its own momentum and that the essential connection between pay and reward is being lost. ACCA argues that a regulatory response should reinforce the capacity of company shareholders to insist boards incentivise their personnel in sustainable ways, without impeding boards and remuneration committees' ability to pay objectively justifiable rates for the right people.
'A disconnect has arisen between boards, their employees, shareholders, and the rest of the community,' says John Davies, head of technical at ACCA. 'In principle, pay should be an internal decision for companies and there should be freedom to pay the prevailing market rate for talented people. However, today, high pay seems to justify itself, while shareholders seem to have little control over management decisions. This is a structural problem which needs proper reform.'
ACCA argues that:
1. There is a structural inability of the ownership base of some listed companies to exert meaningful control over board decisions. This isn't completely down to shareholder apathy: the fragmented landscape of share ownership and a lack of shareholder confidence in their right to insist on policies that pursue long-term growth are also at fault.
2. Switching from a retrospective shareholder vote on pay to a binding, pro-active one – as mooted by the Government – would not change anything by itself. Giving more rights to shareholders would not be a panacea as new powers won't necessarily be used, as previous experience has shown. Equally, it would not prevent policy statements framed in broad, flexible ways being put to the vote. On this specific point, a binding vote on a triennial basis would be a more proportionate response than a yearly vote anyway: it would provide more freedom for boards provided they disclosed any changes made to policy between votes and made a market statement where material dissent was expressed in votes
3. Reform needs to be part of a wider package.
a. The statement of directors duties in s172 of the Companies Act should be reviewed to impose a more explicit onus on directors to consider long-term shareholder value when setting pay policy
b. Remuneration committees should be encouraged to set criteria for assessing performance that reflect the board's responsibility for stewardship
c. The make-up of remuneration committees needs to be considered. These are currently comprised almost exclusively of current or former executive directors, embedding a culture of high pay
d. There needs to be a fundamental improvement in levels of engagement by shareholders – a process already begun by the Financial Reporting Council's 'Stewardship Code'. Giving investors an express right of intervention on pay policy could help enhance the quality of shareholder stewardship.
4. Getting the legal detail right is crucial.
a. Regulation needs to be clear, especially if shareholders are asked to vote on overall policies, meaning that one major disagreement would risk the whole of the policy being defeated. What happens next?
b. Any new shareholder vote must be prospective in nature and should not interfere with contractual agreements already entered into and payments already made
The consultation – the Executive Pay Consultation – was set up by the Department of Business Innovation & Skills and is headed by Barry Walker. The consultation closes on Friday 27 April and following the consultation, the Government will announce final proposals for enhanced shareholder voting rights in early summer.
John Davies concludes: 'Ideally, excessively high pay should be capable of being addressed by a combination of directors abiding by their fiduciary duties and shareholders exercising their supervisory rights. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different and so the time has come for regulation. This regulation needs to be proportionate, allowing freedom for boards and encouraging shareholder engagement. We need to bridge the gap between companies, their shareholders, and the public, and regulation seems to be the only answer.'

Five-year Clean-up at Former Army Demonstration Range Likely Will Continue for Years to Come
August 1, 2013 | WMFE - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is continuing to look for old munitions at a middle school in east Orlando, built on the site of a former World War II weapons demonstration range. Munitions and debris were first discovered at the site of the former Pinecastle Jeep Range near Orlando International Airport five years ago.
The Army Corps dug up an athletic track at Odyssey Middle School this summer but found no munitions. The corps is also investigating wetlands and residential areas in Tivoli Gardens and Lee Vista Square.
Frank Araico (ah-RIKE-oh) is managing the cleanup. He says the middle school will get a new athletic track before school resumes, but the Army Corps' oversight of the area will continue for years to come.
"We can't do a 100 percent guarantee simply because we can't possibly sweep every inch. We can't look under buildings. We can't look under impervious buildings. But anything that's under a building is essentially safe. Ordinance does not spontaneously go off."
During the 1940s the Army conducted training and weapons demonstrations on the more than 12,000-acre Pinecastle Jeep Range. Araiko says he doesn't know why a recommendation not to develop the area was disregarded.
Dozens of munitions and at least 800 pieces of debris have been discovered in the area since the cleanup began in 2007.

Other Proposed Treatments
- Acupuncture
- Carnosine
- Food Allergen Avoidance
- Massage Therapy
- Melatonin
- Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplements
- Vitamin B 6 (alone or combined with Magnesium )
- Vitamin C
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD, previously called "autism") is a poorly understood family of related conditions. People with ASD generally lack normal social interaction skills and engage in a variety of unusual and often characteristic behaviors, such as repetitive movements. There is no specific medical treatment for ASD and its cause remains unclear. Anecdotal evidence of remarkable cures with the use of the substance secretin had raised hopes, but these hopes faded when numerous formal research trials found secretin ineffective. 1–8
Despite public concerns that the measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR] vaccine may cause autism spectrum disorder, the balance of the evidence strongly suggests that this is not true. 14,15
Proposed Natural Treatments
Some physicians involved with natural medicine believe that autism spectrum disorder as well as many other illnesses are caused by genetic defects in the body that interfere with the metabolism of certain nutrients. For example, there is some evidence that children with autism spectrum disorder may have trouble metabolizing vitamin B 6 . 18 Based on this theory, various supplements have been advocated for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder. However, despite a number of favorable anecdotal reports, as yet there is no reliable supporting evidence from meaningful studies. As the secretin example shows (see above), anecdotes can easily be misleading.
One 10-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study of 18 autistic children evaluated high doses of vitamin C for its effects on behavior. 9 Participants received 8 g of vitamin C for every 70 kg of body weight. In this rather complex study, all participants received vitamin C for 10 weeks. After that, half received vitamin C and the other half received placebo for 10 weeks. During the third and final 10-week period, the vitamin C and placebo groups were switched. The results indicated that use of vitamin C caused significant improvements in behavior when compared to use of placebo. This study was small and suffered from various design problems. Nonetheless, it does suggest that further research into using vitamin C for autism spectrum disorder might be advisable. Note: At this level of vitamin C intake, many people experience diarrhea.
Another double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study found indications that very high doses of vitamin B 6 may produce beneficial effects in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder. 10 Again, however, this study was small and poorly designed; furthermore, it used a dose of vitamin B 6 so high that it could cause toxicity.
It has been suggested that combining magnesium with vitamin B 6 could offer additional benefits, such as reducing side effects or allowing a reduced dose of the vitamin. However, the two reasonably well-designed studies using combined vitamin B 6 and magnesium have failed to find benefits. 11–13 Therefore, it isn't possible at present to recommend vitamin B 6 with or without magnesium as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder.
One small study found that use of a multivitamin/multimineral supplement improved sleep and gastrointestinal problems in people with autistic spectrum disorder to a greater extent than placebo. 18
Other Natural Approaches
An eight-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 31 children found preliminary evidence that the supplement carnosine at a dose of 400 mg twice daily might be helpful for autism spectrum disorder. 16
Massage therapy has also been studied as a potential treatment for children with autism. 17,22 In a review of 4 randomized, controlled trials, researchers found that massage therapy may help improve symptoms, like language and social abilities. However, the authors point out that limitations with the studies (eg, small number of subjects) make the results less than reliable. 22
In a systematic review of 5 randomized trials and 13 observational studies, researchers concluded that melatonin can help children and teens with autism spectrum disorder fall asleep and stay asleep longer. 21
It has been suggested that food additives, food allergies , or other dietary factors may play a role in autism spectrum disorder, but meaningful supporting evidence for this theory has not been presented. One very small, but well-designed study failed to find benefit through eliminating gluten and casein from the diet. 19 The study followed a double-blind design; interestingly, parents generally thought they saw improvement, but perceived improvements were equally divided between the treatment group and the placebo group. And a 2008 review of all published randomized trials on the subject found no convincing evidence that the elimination of gluten and/or casein from the diet of autistic children lead to any significant improvement. 20
A review of 10 trials focused on the use of acupuncture as a potential treatment for autism. 23 Three hundred and ninety children and teens (aged 3-18 years old) with autism received treatment from 4 weeks to 9 months. Some of the trials compared real acupuncture to a sham version, while other trials compared acupuncture and traditional treatment plus traditional treatment alone. The authors concluded that there was not enough evidence to support the use of acupuncture to improve the core symptoms of autism (eg, impaired social interactions or thought processes).
