Divorce and Grandparents
The effects of divorce on parents and children have been widely discussed and well documented, but family break-ups hurt grandparents, too. Often, however, the heartbreak grandparents experience takes a back seat as they meet the needs of their children and grandchildren.
"Generally grandparents are a safe haven for children, and in the instance of divorce, may be the only adults a child feels he or she can rely on," says Susan Newman, Ph.D., author of Little Things Mean a Lot: Creating Happy Memories with Your Grandchildren (Crown Publishers, 1996).
Newman suggests that, if possible, grandparents should keep the same visiting schedule and activities as before the divorce process started. This stability can really open the lines of communication for grandparents and their grandchildren. Grandchildren may have questions, fears or comments that need to be heard, and a grandparent can be a good, neutral sounding board. "Grandparents will want to listen to what their grandchildren have to say, because listening (even if you don't have answers) tells children you care about them and their concerns," Newman says. "This is especially important when parents may be focused on the tangles of divorce."
Stay Neutral
As tempting as it may be to try to "fix" things, it is best to stay neutral through the divorce process. Instead of taking sides and offering unwanted advice, step back from the situation and offer to help each of the divorced parents. It will go a long way toward future visitation if you stay neutral and positive.
"If the grandparents have a negative relationship with the children's mother or father, it will severely impact the relationship they have with their grandchildren," says Elise Edelson Katch, a Denver, Colo.-based licensed clinical social worker and author of The Get: A Spiritual Memoir of Divorce (Health Communications, 2001).
It is crucial to develop cordial relationships with the ex-daughter-in-law or ex-son-in-law. Expect to encounter negativity from an unhappy and hurting parent. Resist the temptation to give in and pass on the negativity to your grandchildren. Ignore the comments and find something positive to say instead. Be careful, too, that grandchildren do not hear any heated discussions over the phone or in person. In return, you may be surprised at how eagerly children develop their own positive outlooks about you, despite what an upset parent may be saying. When you choose to be pleasant and upbeat around your grandchildren, they will feel loved and secure.
If you are fortunate enough to keep regular visits with your grandchildren, keep in mind they may need to vent from time to time about the divorce. Perhaps they're not happy with a new stepfather or stepmother. It is crucial to listen with an open mind and not pass on any negative feelings you may have about the parent in question. Grant your grandchildren the freedom to express their emotions. When they know they are safe to do so, you'll become the rock on which they can lean. Of course, if you feel there is a legitimate concern, then talk to the parent.
Your heartbreak may be hard to mask at times, but if you keep your focus on your grandchildren, your patience and peacekeeping agenda should pay off. However, if you have exhausted all your efforts and a parent refuses to let you visit your grandchildren, seek legal advice.
Roadblocks to Visitation
Not all divorces end amicably. Sometimes a child's parent makes it difficult to maintain a relationship with grandchildren. This was the situation for Beth* of Elwood, Ind. After her daughter's divorce, her daughter moved to Florida, and Beth wasn't allowed to see her grandchildren for a period of time. Luckily, her daughter eventually allowed visits, but it still wasn't an ideal situation.
"Time soothes many of the rough spots in divorce," Newman says. "It is often better for the grandparents to step back, difficult as that may be, until the divorce kinks are worked out." However, she strongly suggests that grandparents don't give in to discouragement. As time goes on, even the most problematic parents often soften and reconsider the important role a grandparent has in a child's life. "My relationship with my daughter was strained to say the least," Beth says. "We tried to be upbeat, but the past kept getting brought up."
Newman says a cooling off period when the tension is running high can yield positive results later. In time, Beth was able to visit more. Now she makes regular trips to visit her grandchildren every three months and calls every Sunday. She also sends gifts and cards to stay connected.
"Grandparents might want to attempt a phone call to the difficult parent to request a time with the grandchildren," Newman says. She also advises to have a specific time and game plan. When making the visitation arrangements, be flexible and consider the needs of the parents and the grandchildren's schedule, too.
Gently remind the parent that the grandchildren are foremost in your mind and that you want to help make this uncertain time in their lives a little easier by spending time with them. "Grandparents offer security and stability in a world that is falling apart around the grandchildren," Newman says. "They have time and motivation to do things that focus on the grandchildren and can help provide supervision or care when it's difficult for either divorcing partner."
Tips for Weathering Divorce
According to Elise Edelson Katch, a Denver, Colo.-based licensed clinical social worker and author of The Get: A Spiritual Memoir of Divorce (Health Communications, 2001), grandparents who want to remain connected with grandchildren after a divorce should keep the following tips in mind:
- Love grandchildren unconditionally.
- Be considerate and understanding of grandchildren.
- Never say anything negative about the grandchildren's parents.
- Act in respectful ways to grandchildren.
- Never complain to grandchildren about things they cannot control (i.e. "You never call.").
- Listen to grandchildren.
- Never be critical.
Fun Ways to Stay Connected
- Send fun greetings periodically.
- E-mail letters of encouragement and silly e-greeting cards.
- E-mail a link to a Web site you think your grandchild would enjoy.
- Telephone on a weekly basis.
- Give a gift subscription to a magazine with your grandchild's interests in mind.
- Send small gifts or "fun money" to buy comics or candy.
- Send a disposable camera to take pictures of favorite things. When you get together, make a scrapbook from the photos.
- Make a video of things you normally do around the house: Grandpa working in the garden or Grandma making cookies. Read, sing or dance. Have fun with it!
- Plan a time when the grandchildren can stay for an extended visit. Stock their
favorite foods and plan something special that can turn into an annual event.

Former state National Guard chief Bill Enyart has won a southern Illinois congressional race, keeping that seat in Democratic hands as it has been since World War II.
The Belleville attorney defeated the Republican candidate, lumber company executive Jason Plummer, and Green Party candidate Paula Bradshaw to win the seat.
The 12th Congressional District stretches from the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis to the state's southernmost tip.
Enyart will succeed Democrat Jerry Costello, who is retiring after more than two decades in office.
Only two men, both Democrats, have represented the 12th District since World War II. But Republicans had viewed the seat as winnable given the GOP's gains two years ago.
But Republican Jason Plummer isn't ready to concede the race in the 12th Congressional District in Southern Illinois just yet.
The Associated Press declared former state National Guard chief Bill Enyart the winner in the district. But when reached for comment, Plummer's campaign manager says that it was far too early to concede.
Philip Lasseigne says there are many precincts that have not been counted and that Plummer thinks he owes it to the people of the region to hold off on any concession until those votes are counted.
Plummer and Enyart were battling to succeed Democrat Jerry Costello, who is retiring after more than two decades in office.

LOS ANGELES - Arizona is tabbed for fourth place in the Pacific 12 Conference South in 2012, per the voting participants at media day. The Wildcats garnered 385 points, edging out rival Arizona State's 353, and well ahead of projected cellar dweller Colorado's 164. However, ASU earned three first place votes. UA had none.
Ahead of UA are UCLA (435), Utah (514) and overwhelming favorite USC (729). The Trojans' 729 points were just three below North favorite and three-time reigning conference champion Oregon.
USC was a runaway pick to take the second-ever Pac-12 title game, registering 102 votes to UO's 18. The same three voters who had ASU winning the South also project the Sun Devils to win the conference title.
The Ducks and Trojans each commanded 117 first place votes. Trailing UO in the North are Stanford (533), Washington (502), Cal (382), Washington State (228) and Oregon State (205). SU had five first place votes, and Cal one.
USC returns to the top of the pre-season media poll after an uncharacteristic two-season layoff. The Trojans were the media's pick every campaign from 2003 through 2009, only failing to prove voters prophetic the final season.

What 'Toning' Really Means
So what is toning? The word tone simply describes the state of your muscles. When at rest, your muscles are in a constant state of partial contraction in order to be ready for action. The 'tone' of your muscles is involuntary, so you can't change it by lifting weights a certain way.
Over the years, people have taken the word 'tone' and redefined it to mean how lean we are--how defined our muscles appear. In fact, it's even a gender specific word. Women go to the gym to 'tone up' while men go to the gym to lift weights and build muscle but, the truth is, they are the exact same things. Becoming lean and building muscle requires lifting weights, the difference is in how much you lift.
While you can lift weights to change your body, you're limited as to what you can really change about your muscles. In a nutshell, this is what your muscles can do:
1. Grow larger and/or stronger
2. Shrink smaller and/or get weaker
You can't make a muscle longer (without surgery) and you can't etch it into a certain shape or look. If your goal is to see your muscles, your goal isn't toning--it's losing body fat. And, whether you're a man or woman, wanting to bulk up or slim down, you'll do the same kinds of exercises and training methods. The difference lies in the weights, reps and sets you'll do, as well as how many calories you take in (more if you're building muscle, less if you're trying to lose fat).
You may be wondering why it matters if you believe in toning or not. The problem with the idea of toning is that it leads to that other stubborn myth...
Spot Training
The myth of toning is often tangled up in the myth of spot training. Someone might say, "I want to tone the back of my arms, so I'm going to do triceps exercises." Fine...you can (and should) work your triceps muscles, but that isn't going to get rid of the fat around your triceps, which is what keeps you from seeing that muscle. If you reduce your calories, lift weights and do some cardio, you can lose body fat. Can you lose it over your triceps? Sure you can...but only your body will decide when (or if) the fat over that particular area will go.
So, What's the Point?
If I've convinced you that toning doesn't exist and that you can't spot train, you might be wondering why you should even bother lifting weights. If a bicep curl isn't going to make your biceps more visible, why do it? This is where a shift in perspective needs to happen. Instead of focusing on individual body parts (i.e., I need more defined shoulders), you need to focus on the whole body (i.e., Working my whole body--with cardio and weights--will help in my overall goals). To make this shift in perspective, it helps to know what strength training will do for you:
- You'll build muscle, which helps with fat loss in the long-term. A pound of muscle can burn about 20-30 calories a day. A pound of fat burns about 5 calories a day. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn all day.
- You'll strengthen muscles and connective tissues which helps you perform better (whether in daily activities or physical activities) and reduces risk of injury.
- You'll preserve muscle mass as you age. We naturally lose muscle over time, unless we lift weights.
- You'll build stronger bones.
- You'll improve your flexibility, stability and balance.
- You'll feel better about yourself.
Getting More Definition
After all you've read here, you may be wondering exactly what to do to get more definition in your body. The answer is simple: Lose body fat. To lose body fat you need 3 key elements: Regular cardio exercise, consistent strength training for all your muscle groups and a healthy, low-calorie diet. Check out these Weight Loss Resources for some tips on getting started.
One last note: Whatever your goal or gender, don't be afraid of heavy weights. It takes a lot of hard work to bulk up--even men can find it difficult, never mind women (who don't have enough testosterone to get huge muscles).

A few weeks ago Ela got an email from a pretty much (at the time!) random guy who wrote that he loved what we were doing and how the conference was coming along. Then he added: "I actually made a mobile version of the Railsberry website, find it attached" Right, the mail was a bit longer but this sentence was the key point ;-). After some tweaks and updates, the Railsberry mobile site went live today. Go to railsberry.com on your iPhone / Android and see for yourself!
It feels amazing (really, amazing!) to get that kind of unexpected gift. That means someone in the world cares. Gives a damn. And this is very powerful. We were thrilled, humbled and touched.
Rafał (scroll down for more) will of course join us at Railsberry in April! Sincere huge THANKS! And congrats!
Rafał is a UI Designer / Front-end developer from Bielsko-Biała. He's been dealing with computer graphics and web development for a couple of years now. And for three years, he's been working with RoR devs making their code look good . He loves new technologies, mobile apps and user-centered design. Read his blog or follow his tweets.
Now here's the question - how badly do YOU want to get to the sweetest conference out there? We're announcing our hackberry contest later this week.

When (if) MJD returns, he may well reassume his role as the Jaguars' best player, their most exciting presence on the field, their lone Pro Bowl representative. But he won't reassume the role of team leader; that mantle has moved on. But to whom?On a team universally viewed as being devoid of star power (excluding MJD), who among the Jags veterans, rookies and newcomers possesses the football ability, the leadership skills, the aura to be the face of the franchise?
Let's take a look.
Special teams: Scobee, Owens, Anger. One Pro Bowler, two with pretty potential to be. Ummm... If you thought the perception of the Jags was poor so far, try have someone who kicks the ball being the face of the franchise. Owens, as good as he is, has no shot at team leader. (5 points if you caught the Pro Bowl error above)
Defense: the best player on defense (D Smith) is virtually unknown and unrecognized outside Duval County and profootballfocus.com. Plus he's too quiet, and nice, not nasty enough (hello Drew Brees). D-line is young (even old man Mincey is only a 6 yr vet) and inconsistent. If Branch gets 15-20 sacks, he can make a name for himself. Name a D-line face of the franchise. Mean Joe Green. Anyone else? Reggie, maybe. Keep looking. DBs? Mathis had his chance. Cox might grow into the role. Overall, it's a solid group with a chance to become very, very good. There are certainly leaders on defense, leaders of the defense, but not a face of the franchise team leader.
Offense: MoJo... No. His me-first holdout at a time when a true team leader would have been there helping set the new course for the franchise has eliminated him from ever regaining the title. He might continue to be face of the franchise on nflnetwork or in florio's blog, but he won't be in the huddle. Jennings? Very good, with even very gooder potential. But no.
O-line: umm, what? (that includes TEs)
Wideouts: we have potential here. Blackmon and Shorts. Robinson will be a nice addition, but he'll be overtaken by the other two. The ceiling is very high in those two. However, Shorts, no matter how much he grows, will remain a contributor, not the team leader.
That leaves QB: Let me start by saying I don't believe Henne will become the face of the franchise. I read somewhere that Gabbert had a rough rookie year. I also read somewhere that some person who did some really great things didn't do them all the first time he tried. I forget who that was, but you might be able to think of his (or was it her?) name. Anyway, I'm one of those who think Gabbert will get better. A lot better. A whole way lot better. The best on earth!!! He'll make people forget about butter, sliced bread, the Magna Carta, and Doogie Howser.
So there you have it. Blaine Gabbert is now the leader of this team and the face of the franchise. It happened sooner than most thought and certainly not in the manner anticipated. But he's it, regardless. The longterm core of this team Blackmon, Shorts, Rackley, Branch, Knighton and Cox... Led by Gabbert.
The King is dead. Long live the King.

There has been a lot of speculation about the Penguins interest in trading for Jarome Iginla should Calgary make him available. Personally I think Jarome Iginla is a perfect fit for this team right now and could contribute to more than the offensive power of the team. However, the Pens obviously need some adjustment to their defensive game in some manner. Calgary might have more to offer in a trade than just Iginla.
One name that stands out to me on Calgary's roster is Cory Sarich. To be honest, I haven't seen enough Calgary games to see how he plays, but he's had solid career stats as a physical, defensive d-man. From what I have seen, he seems to be the kind of gritty, nasty d-man that can help stabilize a d-core. Although he hasn't played a playoff game since 08-09 with the Flames, he's won a Stanley Cup in 2004 with the Lightning. Most importantly, his salary is only $2 million. I originally thought he was an Unrestricted Free Agent at the end of the year, but he has another year on his contract after this year.
I think a trade like this is very possible and could provide what the team needs. I'm hoping for something like:
Iginla and Sarich for (player), (defensive prospect), 1st round pick
Players: Tyler Kennedy, Dustin Jeffrey, Simon Despres (hope not, but they seem to be shopping him).
Prospects: Derrick Pouliot, Joe Morrow, Olli Maata, Scott Harrington, Brian Dumoulin
It's a lot to give up, but there's a price to pay for winning a Stanley Cup. Sometimes you just have to go all in. Thanks for reading, let me know what you think and who else is out there that you'd like the Pens to trade for.

Highway 190 near Fort Hood and Clear Creek Road over that highway are open again after being shut down for hours this afternoon because of an accident.
The bed of a dump truck lifted and struck the Clear Creek Bridge around 1 P.M. and left traffic at a stand still for miles.
At the time of the accident, the 18-wheeler was hauling gravel and other construction material when the dump bed of the truck unintentionally began to lift striking the top of the bridge. The gravel from the truck bed was then tossed up onto the Clear Creek Road overpass, as well as onto U.S. 190.
Ken Roberts, spokesperson for the Texas Department of Transportation's Waco District, said that the accident could have been much worse.
"With a portion of the load actually being spread on the bridge, there could have been vehicles crossing the bridge that could have been impacted by the material thrown from the bed of the truck," Roberts said. "Someone could have been injured or killed, so there's any number of factors that could have made the situation much worse."
Bridge engineers were at the scene shortly after the accident and they don't believe any major structural damage was caused.
The Texas Department of Transportation believes that the bridge could be repaired as early as next week.

Our mobile app is a user-friendly, point-of-care solution, putting patient care in the palm of your hands.Learn More
Our Physician Portal empowers physicians and agencies to communicate and collaborate for excellent patient care.Learn More Login
Our Agencycore Home Health Care software provides home health care organizations the ability to collaborate in real-time from anywhere at any time. Clinical and administrative staff have access to real-time information regarding all agency activities and can make decisions faster and more accurately. The complete availability of a patient's medical record enables a team of clinicians and agency leaders to review, direct, manage and influence patient's care and achieve expected outcomes positively. All members of the multi-disciplinary team can review pertinent information and revise care provided to patients accordingly. With the convenience of being able to work from anywhere at any time, home health agencies are empowered to better participate in patient care activities. With real-time access to reports, agency staff can view trends and exchange messages on strategies to enhance coordination of care and services. The result is a more efficient team with the ability to provide immediate responses and positive outcomes which translates into happy patients.
Documentation errors remain one of the most difficult problems that home health and hospice agencies face. Agencycore home health care software helps to streamline the flow of necessary documentation and provides staff access to standardized forms and templates and drastically improve the quality of medical records amongst other aspects of their operations. By using our home health care software, all documentation (especially clinical) can be reviewed for compliance and quality assurance purposes in real-time as they are submitted. Policy and procedure information can be easily disseminated to agency employees to increase their knowledge, improve their confidence and improve overall compliance. With our easy to use and organized data, information is easily retrievable and always available thereby providing an agency with the ability to function efficiently and effectively without increased stress or effort. During regulatory surveys, home health and hospice agencies can easily retrieve information as requested by the surveyors. Our Agencycore home health care software helps keep home health agencies organized and makes a huge difference in presentation during regulatory surveys.
Increased fiscal challenges in the Home care industry mandates that providers become more efficient and provide services in a cost effective manner. The reimbursement changes in the healthcare industry make it imperative for home health and hospice agencies to adopt solutions that will increase productivity, increase efficiency, maintain compliance, empower staff and reduce costs. Our Agencycore home health care software is part of the answer to these challenges and is an important way for home health and hospice agencies to prepare and ensure success with all the new and proposed changes in the healthcare industry. Home health and hospice agencies must learn how to cut cost without compromising quality. Clinicians receiving schedules and patient information via our software system cuts down on commute time and expense to the office. The ability to exchange communication between administrative, clinical and clerical staff cuts down on duplication and reduces documentation errors. Arrangement of work flow and systems around our Agencycore home health care software enables staff to complete tasks faster and more accurately, thereby freeing up time to perform other revenue generating activities for providers. In addition, our software eliminates the need for home health and hospice agencies to maintain expensive computer servers, networks, maintenance or IT support thereby reducing IT costs.
With our Agencycore home health care software, home health and hospice agency leaders have a "bird's eye view" of an agency "in real-time and are therefore empowered to make accurate decisions". With access to reports in real-time, agency leaders can effectively supervise and monitor their agency's activities from anywhere at any time. With the effective point of care system, offered by our Agencycore home health care software, clinical managers can oversee patient care and collaborate with all members of the multi-disciplinary team to ensure patients are receiving accurate, effective care and that a physician's plan of care is successful. While providing more autonomy, our software provides improved opportunities for field staff to collaborate effectively with case managers and administrative staff and receive the support they need to effectively meet their patient's needs. In today's ever changing climate our all-inclusive home health software provides an agency the tools needed in order to provide quality care and still survive.
With all the efficiencies and savings provided by using our Agencycore, home healthcare software, home health and hospice agencies can commit more resources to efforts that will increase quality and attract more referring physicians and patients. This will increase revenue and marketability. Using our software reduces the need for agencies to hire additional clerical or administrative staff because field staff can effectively submit their notes in real time and much of the work performed by data entry personnel is eliminated. Our software provides the ability for providers to bill multiple insurance companies, thereby opening up new growth opportunities despite the ongoing and proposed reimbursement cutbacks in the health care industry.

Esquire Theme by Matthew Buchanan
Social icons by Tim van Damme
leeleeleelee submitted: "This is the reality of Texas' ultrasound for abortion bill. A 30 year old Texas woman's fetus' heart stopped beating after 12 weeks. The options given were to wait until miscarriage, give birth to it, or to abort it (the preferred, safest option). She has to look at an ultrasound of her already dead fetus and if she looks away, she will have to listen to the Doctor describe it."
I don't have anything snarky to say about this. This is heartbreaking. These ultrasound laws are cruel, invasive, and do nothing to lower abortion rates.
This is horrifying. HORRIFYING.
And for the record, not a deterrent. I saw my ultrasound by accident and still made a difficult choice that I have never regretted, because now I'm a happily married professional making a conscious decision to have children with the right person at the right time in my life.
To force someone who wanted that baby to look at an ultrasound of the already-deceased fetus is simply cruel and horrible and wrong.
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has come out with a new statement for their members: it's time to prepare to work with transgender patients.
To address the significant health care disparities of transgender individuals and to improve their access to care, ob-gyns should prepare to provide routine treatment and screening or refer them to other physicians, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (The College).
In a Committee Opinion published today, The College also states its opposition to gender identity discrimination and supports both public and private health insurance coverage for gender identity disorder treatment.
I think this is incredibly awesome. :)
From my personal blog. Komen is permanently off my donation list.
Regarding: Komen Foundation Now Says It Will Continue Grants to Planned Parenthood (NPR):
I will never donate a dime to Komen Foundation again.
I am someone who went several years without health insurance (during and after undergrad), so I have received birth control, my first of many subsequent breast exams, sex education, instruction on self-exams, yearly pelvics, the morning after pill, and most importantly, one very crucial referral (since they don't perform them in my area) to a safe place to have my 2002 abortion… all from my local Planned Parenthood.
This is exactly the type of fiasco right-wing ass clowns hoped to generate by going on a witch hunt to find mis-use of Planned Parenthood funding. Cast yet-unfounded doubt on an organization that has done more for women's health than any other organization (in my opinion) and put politic pressure where there should be NONE.
Someone made the joke to me recently that we should thank Komen for the money that was raised during this period of outrage and backlash, but I'm not in the habit of thanking a women's health organization for putting anything other than women's health FIRST.
I don't care that Komen Foundation has caved to a new kind of politic pressure (the backlash of the outraged left wing, myself included). My eyes are open and the money I've given to Komen will be redirected to other charities.
Anyone who'd like to pat me on the head any further and chalk my response up to my silly liberal ways can henceforth go fuck themselves. I owe a good deal of where I am as a healthy woman to Planned Parenthood.
The Class Act, a legacy of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat whose widow and son were present to see the president sign it into law, sets up a voluntary government-run long-term care insurance program available through employers. Those who participate will pay monthly premiums. After five years, they'll be covered and can receive benefits if they need care — whether they are 20-somethings in snowboard accidents or 80-somethings with Parkinson's disease.
The program is not designed to pay the entire cost of long-term care, which can reach horrifying levels, but it will provide substantial help. And because participants will receive cash — $50 a day or more, depending on how disabled they are — they can buy the kind of assistance that makes sense to them. One person may choose to retrofit his home so he can remain there; another may hire a home care aide or a family member who wants to help but can't afford to forgo income. People can use their Class benefits for assistive devices, adult day programs, assisted living or nursing homes.
Really interested in seeing where this goes. I've read that it's been stalled by various parties and it sounds like it has the potential to really help a demographic that falls through the cracks in terms of this type of healthcare and assistance with daily living needs.
Update 2:00 p.m. ET: The Institute of Medicine report is out earlier than expected, after an embargo was broken. Among other things, it recommends that the federal government consider putting "the full range of Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive methods" on the list of services for women that would be covered by insurers without a copay.
I think this would be REALLY freaking amazing, but will it come to pass? In our current political climate, I would be pleasantly and ecstatically shocked.
Perhaps no group of nursing home residents is more vulnerable than those with advanced dementia: unable to speak for themselves, suffering the physical as well as the cognitive effects of their terminal disease, prone to confusion or fear when subjected to blood tests or trips in screaming ambulances.
Yet dementia patients are often subjected to aggressive treatments and transfers even though studies show little benefit, as researchers at Hebrew Senior Life Institute for Aging Research in Boston keep pointing out.
So what's wrong with this picture? "I'd estimate 75 percent of those hospitalizations are avoidable," Dr. Mitchell told me in an interview. "By and large, research shows they can be treated with equal effectiveness in the nursing home. And it's less traumatic for a nursing home resident with dementia to remain in place."
It SO incredibly frustrating when patients are sent to the ER by nursing homes with "increased agitation and combativeness" and a simple urine test in the ER reveals that they have a UTI (urinary tract infection). How do nursing homes seriously not know at this point that a UTI is very likely cause an elderly person to experience a delirium, and why do they let it progress to a point where the patient is so delirious that they've become unmanageable?
Too often on the geropsych unit do we find ourselves simply treating a delirious person with antibiotics and sending them back to their extended care facility on the same psychiatric meds they were admitted on. It's disruptive for the patient (which is extremely unwise with dementia patients), confusing and scary for the patient's loved ones, lazy and irresponsible on the part of the nursing facility, and frustrating for geropsych staff who are managing a medical issue because that issue escalated to the point of unmanageable agitation because someone didn't think to have the patient urinate in a cup before shipping them to an ER.
Nursing homes that accept patients with dementia need more training on the three D's (delirium, depression, dementia) so that they know to look for the things that *aren't* just the progression of the dementia and are TREATABLE.
Your question indicates why naming multiple agents in a durable power of attorney and giving them equal authority can create chaos. If everyone gets along, if everybody's always available, the partnership may work. If there's conflict, or someone can't be present when needed, problems arise.
I always recommend that a durable power of attorney name agents one at a time, in order of priority. The first person can serve alone, but if that person dies or is incapacitated or not available, then the next person can act alone, and so on down the list.
Please, please, PLEASE name agents one at a time. I've actually seen paperwork with five designated POAs who were expected to handle healthcare decisions by a majority vote.
That is REALLY complicated, especially with one of the POAs being deceased (created potential for a TIE). Please just choose a primary and then one or two alternates. Your family and your local health care providers will thank you. :)

According to rotoworld.com
"The Raiders are "actively shopping" DE Derrick Burgess, according to the National Football Post. NFP contributor Mike Lombardi is a former Raiders front office member, so he's probably where this is coming from. Burgess reported to the Raiders' practice facility earlier than ever this offseason, but perhaps that's just an effort to expedite a trade. Burgess is entering a contract season."
Burgess has just come off a subpar season in which he only played 10 games and chipped in only 3.5 sacks but before last season he registered 8, 11, and 16 sacks in three consecutive seasons. He is 30 years old and that coupled with his recent outing probably means he could be had for not much. Maybe McGee for Burgess straight up or packaged with a 5th or 6th rounder? Maybe even a 4th for Burgess? If we draft a DE in round 1 an cut Kelsay I think our DE rotation could look better with Burgess, Ellis, Schobel, Denney and Orakpo/Brown than it does now. Any takers?

1Thank Goodness, Just When I Thought Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Were Going to be Over For Real, They Went and Got Pregnant Instead
No, but seriously: good for them, I suppose. I know I hate on Ben Affleck a lot, and that's because he strikes me as a bargain basement discount power tool with an inflated me-complex, and I think Jennifer Garner's way too sweet and patient for him, but hey. It's not my marriage, and it's apparent that these two get along in some sort of way, because girlfriend just keeps popping out little girls and they ain't divorced yet.
Either way, nothing can get me down today – I painted my living room a very zen green yesterday and Lowe's is on its way today to install my new carpet, so I suppose I'm seeing everything through rose-colored glasses. Even if we did happen to find out that these guys were having a baby now because Jennifer Lopez is ten different kinds of single, I'm sure I'd find a way to put a positive spin on that, too.
Congratulations on the pregnancy, guys, and I hope this little darling is as sweet and adorable as your other two!

I seriously hope no one truly believes that either of these guys is even close to natty. Hard to believe that Ulysses is under 200 in this video too, especially if he's 6'2. He makes me look like a fly weight, and I'm almost 200 at 5'11.

I know I'm not as lean as this kid, but I'm fairly lean, and weigh 195.
I'm not sure what the original kid weighs, but I'm guessing less than 140 (depending on height). I always thought the natty limit a contest lean 180 for someone under 6'.

Looks like a gust of wind would blow him over. I know 99% of the guys who claim natural status are liars and haven't been natural since they were 13, but this guy is no where near the limit of what a natty can look like. I look way better than him for gods sake, and have never taken anything in my entire life, and I know their are guys with much better genetics and drive than I have.
I always thought that Jeff Rodriquez was limit as to what a natty physique can look like.

Can't believe their are so many cat people on GB. I would have figured everyone was an alpha with a juiced up looking pitbull or at least something similar.
I've been a dog person my whole life, and always thought cats were boring and suited for old women. My opinion has changed recently, as my GF's parents have a 5 month old kitten that I really like though. She's really playful and crazy as shit! Also wicked cute since she's blind in one eye, has 7 toes per foot, and has a bobtail.

on: January 08, 2013, 08:19:22 PM
I put myself on this site a few months back after my buddy recommended it and said I would get laid in days guaranteed, and have to put in pretty much no effort whatsoever. He was right, much to my regret!
I hooked up with 4 different girls within the first 2 weeks of being on there. Each of them had a SERIOUS downfall, and all of them were most likely certified crazy!
One of them I only slept with once, and she would NOT leave me alone! Texted me 5x a day for weeks saying how she much she missed me and how much she cared about me, and how well we "fit together". Keep in mind, all she did was come over one time and we fucked, ordered pizza (she even paid!, haha) fucked again, and then she left. I am not kidding!
The first girl I hooked up wasn't thrilled when I cut things off, but hated me even more when she found out about the other girls I was hooking up with. This was probably inevitable, since I live in a small area where people know about each others personal lives. She told other girls not to talk to me cause I only wanted one thing, and posted numerous messages on FB saying things like "all guys are assholes" and shit like that. Even tried to tag me in a few of them. THANK GOD I have my account set so that I have to review all tags before they are posted. LOL!
The last girl I met from that site wasn't all that bad to be honest. Pretty cute, thick with HUGE TITS a nice ass, and she loved to fuck! Her only issue was that she started to get feelings and would make random comments that made me pretty uncomfortable, such as "when are you gonna be my bf" or "I want more than what we currently are". When I finally cut it off she became hysterical and got downright pathetic! Told me that she would be willing to do anything just to keep me in her life, and that she didn't care if she was only a booty call. She flipped out on me when I said I wasn't interested. Told me never to contact her again, and that she hated me. She ended up texting me a week later saying how her offer is still on the table and that it will be for as long as she's single.
Keep in mind I didn't lead any of these girls on! Never did I tell them anything that would make them think I wanted them as a gf, or even that I wanted to have an exclusive fwb with any of them, but in the end that's what they all wanted!
Learn from my mistakes! That site is bad news! The girls on there are not worth the trouble. Even if all you're trying to do is get laid, you would be much better off just hitting up the bar scene.

I'm guessing right now I can do the following:
Dead: 450
Squat: 365
Bench: 285
Clean and Press: 185
Pullup with 45: at least 10

That's one hell of a challenge, and I'd be impressed by anyone (natty or juiced) that can do it.
You figure the 12 pullups with 45lb weight is going to eliminate any fatty that can do the other lifts with ease cause they weigh 275+ lbs, and the 225lb clean and press is gonna make most nattys crumble at the knees! LOL.
I think I can come close on the dead and squat and can most likely already do the pullup one, but I can't bench 315 and I'll NEVER be able to clean and press 225!

Bro great progress. Actually pro 180-185 in true contest shape on a natural stage can be very impressive. Have you ever trained with a lower rep range? Between 4-10 could definatly help with chest thickness. Also incline flyes seem to add some upper chest thickness that gives a more rounded look and definatly form the side. I've been training on a four day spilt for years. I followed the five day for first five years of training and switched to add extra rest. Both have advantages. Let us know how that spilt works. I've never switched up that frequent seems like it would be hard to gauge progress.
Thanks! I've never really done low reps before, as I don't feel it as much while I'm working out. I'm going to be giving it a try on this new routine though, so we'll see how it goes.
I do incline flyes every other week.
Yeah, the new routine is pretty strange, since the rep ranges are all over the place from week to week. I'm gonna write down the weight and reps I'm able to do each week and see if I make any progress from month to month.
Even though I feel like I look better now than in the past, I haven't gotten any stronger at all! I've been stuck at the same strength levels for what feels like forever! lol

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
If you've got the resources to buy contemporary art—or the admirable envy suppression to spectate as others do—it's a good week to be in New York. Sotheby's and Christie's contemporary art evening sales commence next week, and beginning tomorrow, London's Frieze Art Fair arrives for its first-ever New York residency, setting up shop on Randall's Island, where upwards of 25,000 people are expected to descend. Frieze's tireless directors, Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp (he, London-based; she, New York), have not only corralled 180 galleries for the event; they've also commissioned sculptures for an outdoor sculpture park; audio works for a sound-art program; a speaker series; a slate of on-site performances and projects, including a reconstruction by John Ahearn of his 1979 exhibition South Bronx Hall of Fame; and pop-up restaurants, cafés, and food trucks from art-world hangouts like Sant Ambroeus, the Fat Radish, Roberta's, and the Standard. On the eve of the fair, Slotover spoke with Style.com about New York versus London, the fair and the gallery, and fashion's enduring fixation with the world of contemporary art.
Frieze Art Fair runs May 4 through 7, 2012, on Randall's Island, NYC. For information, tickets, and more details, visit www.friezenewyork.com.
Frieze in London is a huge and well-established event. How is New York going to be similar or different? Are you conceiving of it as quite separate, or will it be modeled on the original?
Well, I mean the great thing about having the Frieze in New York is that there is so much else to offer in the city. You know, there's museums and galleries, and restaurants and bars and everything. We're really working with galleries [outside the fair], too. There's an event Saturday night in Chelsea, there's something Sunday night on the Lower East Side.
Frieze's co-director, Amanda Sharp, lives in New York; you live in London. How do you see the art scene differ in New York versus London, in terms of appreciation and in terms of buying?
That's a really good question. One view of the issue is that in London you've got like 500 people in the art world and 500,000 people, the general public, who are interested in art. In New York, you have 5,000 people in the art world…but the general public is not as interested in art. I don't know if that's true; I go to museums here and they seem pretty full to me. But I think certainly there's more galleries, there's more collectors, there's more major museums here, but in London we have had this massive general public kind of uptake on contemporary art, which is reflected in the media. There might be a subtle difference in that. [But] essentially, they're two very important art cities, and those in places we always enjoy doing fairs, because they're just incredibly cultured cities, with a lot to do. They're attractive for people to come to, and there's a great informed public there. They probably have more similarities than differences.
When you talk about public appreciation versus the professional world, is Frieze a place for those two to meet, or primarily a professional fair? Is it easy to break in, not as a gallery or a dealer but as an appreciator and then potentially as a buyer?
Absolutely. We run the fair in a very democratic way. You can see a lot at one time, so we always tell someone who's just learning about contemporary art, or thinking about it, just to come. They can appreciate the artists' projects and all the food and the restaurants we have. I think it's a mixture. We want to have professionals, of course, but we also think that this is a great event for the general public, too.
The art world and the fashion world are very much in bed together these days. You see artists collaborating with big brands like Louis Vuitton, and the incredible fashion presence at fairs like Art Basel. Do you think there's more involvement than there has been in the past?
A lot of fashion designers collect art, so we get a lot of designers coming just as art buyers—they know the galleries, they know the artists. It's not to collaborate, it's just as collectors. Then sometimes that collecting habit does translate into other things—like when Prada set up its Foundation, or like when Louis Vuitton does collaborations with artists. It seemed to start about ten or 15 years ago, and I think it's largely increased, yeah. Some people think about art as the ultimate luxury—because there's only one. And of course the luxury world is always after the ultimate. For me, the important thing is, if the designer is sensitive and if the artist is strong and is good, you can get a really interesting collaboration and it can be more than the sum of its parts. And if you had a standoff, it can be an unhealthy collision—it can look like the artist is really selling out. Every example is different. But is it increasing? I think largely increasing, yes.
Many critics have remarked about the growing number and scope of art fairs. Do you think that growth has changed the system in some radical way?
I think what the galleries do for the art world in terms of supporting artists and being a public viewing space for art is exceptional, and it's really important. We help the galleries market themselves to a wider public—we're here for the galleries. The reason that they have begun to do more art fairs than they used to, I think, has to do with globalization. Your collector does not live around the corner anymore. It's people in Poland selling to people in New York, and people in New York selling to people in Australia. It's a huge, huge range of people who are talking to each other, and it's impossible to see them all. An art fair is an easy way to gather galleries from many countries under one roof. It's impossible to get that kind of coverage otherwise. No one could get to that many galleries, even over the course of a year.
When you talk about an increasingly global customer and a way to bring many distant places together, I think: online. Could you eventually see the fair extending that way as well?
For people who can't make it themselves, and/or galleries not having to do all the shipping, that kind of stuff, the Web is a great medium. But the Web has its downsides too because art is a physical thing. It's not like music or books or something where there's a virtual aspect, too. The primary aspect of art is physical. Many people still want to see an artwork before they'll buy it, or even think about buying it. I think the Web can be very useful, but the majority at the moment still want to see it.
