Should I consider placing Mom in an Alzheimer's care unit to preserve my own health?
I certainly understand your struggle, and you clearly meant what you said when you promised your mom to never place her in a nursing home. However, what you were reallypromising is that you would be there for your mom and only do what you believed would be in her best interest. In the end, that is the best thing we can do for our parents. One never knows what life is going to bring. In the abstract we would all say we don't want to end up in a nursing home, but nursing homes exist for a very good reason and many loving families end up having to put relatives in nursing homes because that is the best place for them to be. I might add in your case, it may be your mom belongs in an assisted living facility, rather than a nursing home, so you may fulfill your promise after all.
The decision about when is the right time to move a parent with Alzheimer's to a care facility is always challenging, but keep in mind you are not looking at putting your mom in a warehouse. As someone's dementia progresses, it is important they are in a safe place in which they have care when they need it 24 hours a day, and where they can continue to be active, both physically and mentally. It requires real skill to know how to continue to keep people with dementia active, without asking so much they feel stressed. At some point it is simply not possible to provide all this yourself, and if you allow your guilt to get in the way of making the best decision for your mom, you are doing her (and yourself) a disservice. If you take the time to carefully look over the various facilities that can help your mom and find a caring place with a staff who have the training to help her, you have done everything you can do for her. It is important to keep in mind that if you wait too long, her memory will be so impaired that the facility will never become familiar and she will never feel at home there. Once she is there, you can spend as much time as you like with her, but as her son rather than her caretaker. This may also help her to not feel guilty about having to trouble you to get her needs met. If your guilt continues to wear you down, I would strongly suggest a few sessions with a mental health professional to talk it through.
This is the first time I've looked and found resourses just for me as Mom's caregiver. It truly does help in every way knowing you are not alone, and others are experiencing the same things regarding this terrible disease. Dr. Robbins has been a God sent to me. My very first question, and my very first answer has already put my mind at ease will this so difficult decision. The guilt has been tremendous, but reading other answers to other questions, it's like reading my life. I thank God for this website, and all the participants who are reaching out their hands, and especially their hearts for people like me. I've been so lost, but now I truly have a place to go to find answers. Thank you all so
Dearest Doco55,
It's hard but it's easy. It's obvious, but it's also hard to face...
The answer to your question sweetie is this:
If you can do it, you can, If you can't - you can't.
The bad news is that YOU ARE ONLY HUMAN. The GOOD news is that YOU ARE HUMAN, and YOUR MOTHER is HUMAN, too...
There is more to loving someone than taking care of them. ANYONE can do the physical work of care-giving.
But YOU are her CHILD, and NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THAT ROLE. NO ONE ELSE CAN LOVE IN JUST THE WAY THAT YOU DO.
So, in my opinion, that's what YOU should do - the one thing which ONLY YOU can do. Be there for her as her CHILD.
Wherever She NEEDS TO BE.
Warmest regards,
"Mother," to whom you once made a promise ... is no longer, just as "Child," who once made a promise, (and is now inexorably changed) ... is no longer...
The above comments are great. I so applaud Dr. Robbins that he noted the promise was to take care of the parent. There are many types of supportive communities available. Assisted Living communities are wonderful alternatives! But Dr. Robbins was wise to advise us to do due diligence to check out one's options. Call a professional senior move manager or geriatric care manager for help and information about residential community options. An older person's great fear about "nursing homes" may not be living in a community but rather that if they are warehoused in a facility, they will lose their humanness: that they will be neglected or abused and diminished as people. Older populations who have not been in very high-caring facilities are thinking of patients/residents whom they've seen in years past: people forced to be out of bed but slumped over in a wheelchair drooling, ignored, and with others in similar condition hearded around in a circle in the hall near the nurses' station where people walk around them but never speak to them or touch treat them as individuals; or people who are beaten physically and emotionally by aides (and administrators??); or places where there is no one to ask if you could adjust the covers, help me go to the bathroom, change my bedding 'cause they were soiled--hours ago. Etc. The neglect IS still occuring today in many places. Care aides, in general, are among the lowest paid careers, with little continuing training or respect. If full-time skilled nursing at a high-caring community is not monetarily possible, then the adult's son/daughter/caregiver should look into respite care frequently (albeit, moving a patient with dementia, however, is disruptive). Getting help and taking breaks is the only way to take care of a loved one. The caregiver must take care of her/himself. The older adult, when younger, would never have wanted a child they cared for and loved to be in such termoil and be so heavily burdened.
I have early to mid stage alzheimers. My grandmother had alzheimers and my mother has it. I am now realizing in my decreasing state that if anyone in my family or among my friends had promised me this... knowing the bad days I have now with my memory, I would have no idea who is taking care of me at that point anyway. Seeing a friendly face a few times a week would be enjoyable. No gaurantees I would know it was you visiting... but I know the visit would be encouraging, loving and nice. Whenever someone would bring me food or medicine while I am there... if they smile and talk... I will smile and talk... it does not matter if I know them... because I can't remember their names anyway and faces are getting harder if I have not known them long. Do NOT kill yourself trying to give 24 hour a day care to a person who does not remember you. Visit her. Be a positive person in her life that loves on her. Keep regularly in touch (in the flesh) with her. In between TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!! You will wear out far quicker than she will and she will appreciate having a pleasant stranger come and sit with her, talk with her, be with her. She'll feel warm and loved by this (RESTED) person who sits with her. She is not going to remember.... I'm sorry... love her, but know, if you do not take care of you, you will end up in the room beside her soon enough. Take care of you. DON'T beat yourself up. Love your mother... and in between visits... know that she is being well taken care of. Love and best wishes to you for loving your mother in this way for so long. It is time... the right time... for you to make some changes... for both of your health. She won't remember....you won't survive intact otherwise. Love to you. Joan
Don't wait to place your Mom! I did, and Dr Robbins is correct, Mom thinks she should be moving all the time, I visit her 2-3 times a week and she has half her stuff packed. She lived with us for 8 yrs, think I was in denial about her dementia as when I did realize I couldn't leave her home alone even for an hr, we had to have the "move to assisted living so I can become your daughter again" conversation 4 times, and both of us ended up sobbing. Mom didn't remember anything, but I had to go on Ativan for awhile. Now I am less stressed, still feelingguilty , but able to enjoy my life with less worry. Bless you for caring for your Mom, and good luck to you both.
So many great answers to this very heartwrenching question. I think the last was particularly apt in pointing out that the promise was most likely based on the largely outdated image of scary, uncaring places. I volunteer at a nice place and the care there is so very kind. I agree that if you can afford it it will ultimately leave you healthier to respond when you visit. Huge kudos to the person with memory issues who replied. Karma points! I just wanted to add that I think, while it's important to stay firm on one's principles, it's wise to be flexible with specific decisions because life is complicated and even Einstein said it would be foolish to try to solve new problems using only solutions that worked in the past. You might have a decision (such as your "no nursing home" one) that works just fine or at least well enough for years, then things could change and you have to give yourself permission to make a new decision that fits the specifics of the new conditions. I think you're on the right track.
After reading a few of your questions, I'm in the same boat. Mom's dementia is getting worse, and fell 3 times in 3 days, last one, ER, 4 stitches and so bruises, but nothing broken. Decreasing one med. that has proved to cause falls. I must give this a chance first. But I'm and Husband so burnt out, and I feel so guilty, but it's affected my health a great deal, and we have no life. Have a sitter 2or 3 times a week, to go to church, or just get out of house, or doctor's appointmen. But I'm afraid that a decision may have to be made before too long, assisted living, if at all possible, and close to my home to see her, keep in close contact, as lived with us for 7 yr. Guess we just didn't think about when it came to sickness and this point, what to do. We now are taking one day at a time, and getting off that med, and hope to see a big difference. And pray all day long to give me strength to keep going.
Placing my husband in a home has been financially punishing. But I can see that it's been the best, the kindest choice for both of us. People who gave me advice to keep him at home seldom understood what this involves - our home would have required extensive modifications, in-home care is more expensive and sometimes unreliable, and he still would have limited companionship. Even as his dementia progressed, my husband was at home for 4 years and I felt that all I did was feed him, clean up,and take care of his every need. I was frazzled and never had the time to just sit with him. He couldn't understand much, but he liked and still likes to hold my hand. Then physical problems and his falls meant placing him was necessary. Now I visit him 3 or 4 times a week, and we are simply together, even for a few hours. My energy goes toward finding things that please him, such as bringing in a fancy coffee drink. He is never, ever alone, and I can go out without constant worrying. I guess I am saying that nursing homes have many positives that I had not been aware of.
I'd like to just add that there is a middle ground. My father has a couple of old family friends who are very nurturing and unemployed come and be paid companions five days a week, divided into three for one and two for the other. He pays $10/hour for eight hours. Now, $80 a day sounds like a lot, but a good skilled assisted living arrangement is more. of course, she is not violent or soiling herself thanks in part to depends, but she is pretty far gone and she's okay for now. If its time to move a loved one, fine. But don't think that just because you're tired personally that there aren't other options. Delegate!
I do not agree with MANY of the comments/responses to the above plight this woman is facing. I currently am caring for my terminally ill mother and my 98 year grandmother with dementia. I grew up thinking my grandma would be placed in a nursing home. For years she told us that was where she would go if needed, as she never wanted to be a "burden" on her family. My grandma was in an assisted living until 8-12-12, when My mother and I chose to move her in with my mom. I am married and have 1 child left at home. I travel 18 miles each day to care for them, set up meals, do laundry and housekeeping, except for Sundays when I am working. I'm currently on part time FMLA with my employer until my mother passes away. My husband is currently making necessary changes to our home so that my grandma can move in with us. I went to my mother a few weeks ago to get her blessing on moving grandma with us. I understand the commitment I'm taking on, but she is my grandma, family. I think back to all the sacrifices my mom and grandma made for me and my siblings over the years. Our parents made the commitment to raise us, for a minimum of 18 YEARS! SHOULD OUR PARENTS EXPECT ANY LESS FROM US?? I think not. People can make choices for themselves and I have nothing against nursing homes, I have worked in them myself. However, I also have a strong commitment to MY WORD. Without our word being good...WHAT DO WE HAVE? So do what you want, Thank God my mom and my grandma have raised a woman that sticks it out and is good on her word.
Dear magicx011,
GOOD for you!
You have the optimism, the overconfidence, and the self-righteousness of a true newbie... You'll need all of that and much, much more. And I sincerely wish you nothing but the best in your efforts to "stick it out" and be "good on (sic) your word."
By the way, you make no mention as to the age of the one remaining child you and you husband still have at home...or to your financial situation, for that matter. Is your husband working still, or is he retired?
I also assume you'll want to provide the same quality care for your husband's parents and grandparents when the time comes... And of course, you're anticipating no medical needs of your own until the entire rest of your family has crossed over "The Rainbow Bridge..."
It's always a real eye-opener on this site (as well as refreshing and uplifting) to meet truly superior people like yourself: lacking any humility as well as any compassion for the struggles of other mere mortals who come to this site for support in their times of weakness.
By the way, please do check back and let us know if you still feel the same way - eight, nine, or ten YEARS from now...( assuming, of course, you even manage to make it that long...)
Yours, With the Sincere Bemusement Long-Term Experience Alone Can Provide,
As Ever,
God Bless you magicx001; I'm struggling with taking care of both parents with dementia, one rather advanced. I thought I could move them in my house, but I don't think I will be able to do it and maintain my family, work and my sanity. Sorry, but the fact that they took care of me as a child does NOT compare to taking care of an incontinent, sometimes belligerent adult. A person (usually) chooses to have a child and it (usually) brings great joy to their lives. I'm sorry to say, watching my parents both deteriorate is depressing in the extreme. I find no joy in their suffering, and yes they are suffering with their confusion. I've told both of my sons to NEVER give up their lives. As long as I'm safe, they can visit as often as they'd like. That being said, I admire you for your determination. Your mom and grandmother are very lucky to have you.
Caring for a parent with Alzheimer's disease in the home inevitably reaches a point of compromise of risk and responsibilty. It is not sustainable in the long run. The costs are huge, the dedication unending, the strain, inmeasurable. A house cannot be converted into a clinical environment no matter how hard one tries. Care requires skilled and trained staff round the clock. A caretaker also has a responsibility to themselves, their family, their health. This is a stage in life that we prefer not to face and fail to understand that people suffering from dementia require a nursing facility regulated to protect and care for them. It will permit you the caretaker to visit and spend valuable time with your mother without the strain of being the only one tending to her needs. I cared for my mother for years and finally placed her in a nursing home. I felt terribly guilty at first. That lasted for a few weeks until I started seeing how my mother was coming to terms with the place. She is more relaxed, has people around her, notices what is going on, and seems to have adjusted quite well. I am also better for it. We have great visits together. It is the next step to take. You also have to live your life to the fullest. If her primary physician examines her and tells you that she is a good candidate for nursing home, you should move right away before her condition deteriorates, an injury occurs, or you become ill yourself. Seek out facilities in your area without appointment and visit them more than once to get a sense of the best place for your mother. What matters is the level of care they will provide and how consistent they are in their care. Pay attention to the staff and to how the residents appear to you in each place. Seek guidance in the process of admission. Get her affairs in order and proceed. Good luck.
I've been struggling with this question too, wish I'd read these answers years ago. Mom's only 65 now, in excellent health, happy (generally) but has likely had AD since her late 50's... I was thinking she was FAR too young to have it and only caught on to the problem when the wife and I split up and I moved in with her - that was about 4 years back and it's been progressing exponentially ever since.
The thing is, the neurologist never mentioned AD by name to me (nor her, understandably) and I suppose he didn't have to since it was pretty obvious. But I think without someone actually saying to my face "You're mom's got an incurable disease which you CANNOT care for all on your own", I've been totally in the clouds. Here and there I've heard 'counselling' and 'support groups' but being a grown man with an ego, I pooh poohed both. Wish I hadn't now.
Whoever mentioned the 'rainbow bridge' got it; Once you see the signs that it's time to find a facility, it becomes painfully obvious you've waited tooooo long. No longer can she stay at a sibling's house due to anxiety, anyone in her home (besides me) causes DAYS of drama, staying out more than 1/2 day will send her into a fit and I'm positive that moving her to a facility now will be devestating due to unfamiliarity. The end result is a failing battle to keep her comfortable and happy, all the while watching my own happiness evaporate with no light at the end of the tunnel.
Looking back I should've been planning from day-one... Putting in place some reliable in-home care early on, regular respite stays at a place she could become familiar with (and eventually call home), and keeping my own sanity first'n'foremost through those respite stays would have been the better course to take. Live and learn I suppose, but God knows I hope I never get a chance to use the knowlege again. I guess I can take pride in having done my best with what I thought was right but by dithering I've effectively boxed us BOTH in.

Playful behavior
In recent years, biologists have recognized that birds engage in play. Juvenile Common Ravens are among the most playful of bird species. They have been observed to slide down snowbanks, apparently purely for fun. They even engage in games with other species, such as playing catch-me-if-you-can with wolves, otters and dogs.[77] Common Ravens are known for spectacular aerobatic displays, such as flying in loops or interlocking talons with each other in flight.[78][79]
They are also one of only a few wild animals who make their own toys. They have been observed breaking off twigs to play with socially.[80]
So. This happens.

Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging has released Boost Your Brain & Memory program, a brain fitness program.
The $6.5 million renovation will start in late 2014 and will include an expanded fitness center and wellness suite, cinema, library, arts studio and computer center. The facility is home to 122 residents.
On average, roughly 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and more than half of those hospitalized are over age 65. This season's influenza virus outbreak was no exception. In fact, according to the CDC, the flu season is the most severe it has been in 10 years.
At first it looked like just another round of whining about the media. Nothing gets more tedious than long-term care providers making off-base comments about their portrayal in the popular press.
Mather Lifeways, an Evanston, IL-based non-profit, has incorporated a unique three-component program that helps improve life quality for residents with dementia. Additional winners will be named throughout the week

Our Congress makes me sick. And so does everyone who insists on putting these vile miscreant worshipers of war and lovers of death for all but white skinned folk back into power election after election. Our useless and completely wicked racist government can pay for weapons without even blinking but when it comes to helping kids, they just can't manage it. Our Worthless Congress Is Happy to Fund War, Not So Much The Well Being of Brown Children ☀
Earlier today, the Senate and the House passed a bill that would give the new government in Ukraine $1 billion in loans and $100 million in direct aid.
Today's vote came just a day after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that he would drop controversial IMF reforms from the Ukraine aid bill, guaranteeing Republican support.
Ukraine's new government has been in power a little over a month, and now it's secured itself a nice little lifeline from Washington. That was fast.
Meanwhile, more than 2 million jobless Americans are still struggling to pay their bills after losing their unemployment benefits three months ago at the end of December.
As money became more and more important to congressional candidates, Democrats, especially in the House, became less and less effective in their historic role as the allies and defenders of the little guy. Their electoral successes every two years dulled their competitive skills. They had little to offer by way of new policies or ideas. They became smug, self-satisfied, too willing to engage in the petty corruptions that four decades in control made so easy. Instead of defending the little guy, Democrats helped themselves. Newt Gingrich understood the opportunity those '80s Democrats had created for Republicans. Gingrich was the most effective and most destructive political figure I encountered in five decades covering Washington. He invented the partisan warfare that has produced today's gridlock. He encouraged the disregard for facts that has defiled our public life. He believed, fiercely, that the end justified the means. The end he sought was a Republican House, and he had no qualms about how it was achieved or maintained. He and his successor as lead enforcer, Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, helped destroy collegiality in Washington. How Republicans lost their mind, Democrats lost their soul and Washington lost its appeal ☀
It's not until you watch it happen close up that the way things do not get done in the World's Legislative Body becomes well and truly nauseating. This afternoon, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont brought forth a carefully crafted bill to provide $21 billion in new veterans benefits over the next decade. These included medical benefits, education benefits, and job-training. It contained 26 provisions that came from the Republican members of the Veterans Affairs Committee, which Sanders chairs. It was so wide-ranging that it contained a provision that would eliminate a rule prohibiting the Veterans Administration from covering in vitro fertilization on behalf of veterans whose wounds prevent them from conceiving a child in the usual manner. There was a time, and not so long ago, when both parties would fall all over themselves to help America's veterans. How many platitudes are we going to hear on the stump between now and November about America's Heroes and Our Wounded Warriors? This bill was a put up or shut up moment. It failed. Badly. Only two Republicans were willing to vote with Sanders, and the bill died a procedural death. The final straw was an attempt by Republican legislators to hang an amendment onto the bill calling for increased sanctions on Iran. There was also some cheap bullshit thrown around about the budget, most notably by Senator Jefferson Davis Beauregard Sessions of Alabama. There also was, spectacularly, some debate time taken up by, believe it or not, Benghazi, Benghazi!, BENGHAZI! Charles P. Pierce ☀
I don't think that you can call the American government anything other than broken at this point. And I think the break has come at the legislative level. I mean, that's the part of the government that has been purchased. You can buy these guys on the cheap. And the capital's been at it a long time and the rules have been relaxed. The Supreme Court has walked away from any sort of responsibility to maintain democracy at that level. That's the aspect of government that's broken. And it doesn't matter whether it's Obama or Clinton or Bush or anybody at this point. If this is the way we're going to do business, we're not going to do business. You know, they've paid for it to be inert. And it is inert. And ultimately that aspect of capitalism hasn't been dealt with in any way. David Simon ☀
As to the first, one must never forget that one of the two great compromises during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was equal voting power of the states in the Senate (unlike in the House, where representation is proportionate to the state's population). The other so-called great compromise gave additional representation to slave states by counting slaves — even if at only three-fifths of a person each — when computing how many representatives each state would get in the House (and therefore how many votes in the Electoral College as well). James Madison was appalled by the first of these compromises, referring to equal voting power in the Senate as a "lesser evil," the greater evil being the torpedoing of the constitutional project because of the unwillingness of the small states to ratify any constitution that did not include this compromise. But an evil is still an evil, and the disproportions have only grown over the years. In 1790, Virginia had approximately 17 times the population of Delaware, then the least populous state. Today California has well over 65 times the population of Wyoming. Filibuster reform isn't enough ☀

Dissent Was Not Unpatriotic
July 6, 2014 By PB Cora 1 Comment
The onset of war in Europe in the summer of 1914 found the United States distantly observant but naturally pre-occupied with its own politics and predominant social issues of the day, amid a blossoming cultural ferment that would ultimately produce a unique 20th-Century American identity. As a true "nation of immigrants" America had ties to every corner of Europe going back to the first half of the 19th Century in which Irish and German … [Read More...]

This is the forest of Arthurian legends, at Paimpont, in France. One of the most magical I've ever seen ! I've been in the Valley of No Return (which is beautiful), the Fairies' Mirror, Merlin's Tomb and the Fountain of Youth.
I was "forced" to go by a pagan friend >:| but didn't regret it in the end. I've felt small things, nothing meaningful, but I've returned with a clear mind and renewed certainties about my couple and my faith. I think Danu crossed my path and I feel a need to adore her. I hope it will also drive me to meditate more often.
I may have fallen in love with this country.

Is there no context for our lives? No song, no literature, no poem full of vitamins, no history connected to experience that you can pass along to help us start strong? You are an adult. The old one, the wise one. Stop thinking about saving your face. Think of our lives and tell us your particularized world. Make up a story. Narrative is radical, creating us at the very moment it is being created. We will not blame you if your reach exceeds your grasp; if love so ignites your words they go down in flames and nothing is left but their scald. Or if, with the reticence of a surgeon's hands, your words suture only the places where blood might flow. We know you can never do it properly - once and for all. Passion is never enough; neither is skill. But try. For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief s wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul. You, old woman, blessed with blindness, can speak the language that tells us what only language can: how to see without pictures. Language alone protects us from the scariness of things with no names. Language alone is meditation.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
My mother was the one who came up with the Eskimo idea. I put on a winter coat, made a fish out of paper, which I hung on the end of a stick, and wrapped my face up in a scarf. My hair was growing in, and I loved the way the top of the hood rubbed against it. By this time my hat had become part of me; I took it off only at home. Sometimes kids would make fun of me, run past me, knock my hat off, and call me Baldy. I hated this, but I assumed that one day my hair would grow in, and on that day the teasing would end.
We walked around the neighborhood with our pillowcase sacks, running into other groups of kids and comparing notes: the house three doors down gave whole candy bars, while the house next to that gave only cheap mints. I felt wonderful. It was only as the night wore on and the moon came out and the older kids, the big kids, went on their rounds that I began to realize why I felt so good. No one could see me clearly. No one could see my face.
…he has a life history of violence. He shot a woman several times with a .22 rifle in 1978, but she lived and he served less than a year. He was drunk then. The murder of the man in Pike County sent him away for life.
He is 76 now and limps on a cane because of a broken leg that never healed right. He works all day in the flower garden, where he has raked the dirt so smooth you can roll marbles on it.
"It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about." -Lester Burnham
So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
The room has begun to spin, and the boys ease me down onto the floor, where I rest on a round Feldenkrais mat, which feels like a soft, white buoy. I am quite woozy and sweating, and I hear something strange emanating from somewhere—I'm not sure where—a sing-songy, possibly computer-generated voice. A very pleasant, clipped voice. Sad Man, a life-sized papier-mache figure, is seated near the bed, his head bowed in a posture of sadness. Nolte pats Sad Man on the head as he passes. Books are strewn about—scientific journals, Philip Roth's American Pastoral, Better Sex Through Chemistry. From this angle I also see Nolte is filling up another syringe for himself, mixing a vitamin cocktail, holding it above his head, thumping it, squinting. Nolte pulls down his pajamas a bit on one side, exposing a few inches of skin, from his waist to his right cheek, a lean flank for a guy almost sixty.
After shooting up, he's feeling a bit strange himself. He's looking a little worried now, too. You sure you didn't mix the wrong thing? I ask. "No," he says, "I think I'm picking up your vibe. A kind of placebo effect."
What is family? They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they were the ones who showed up, who stayed in there, regardless. It wasn't just about blood relations or shared chromosomes, but something wider, bigger. We had many families over time. Our family of origin, the family we created, and the groups you moved through while all of this was happening: friends, lovers, sometimes even strangers. None of them perfect, and we couldn't expect them to be. You can't make any one person your world. The trick was to take what each could give you and build your world from it.

From 1980 to 2013, the sub-Saharan African immigrant population in the United States increased from 130,000 to 1.5 million, roughly doubling each decade between 1980 and 2010. This profile provides up-to-date demographic information for sub-Saharan immigrants including location, educational attainment, workforce participation, and much more.

The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, with three cases diagnosed in the United States, has generated tremendous public fear and anxiety in the United States and other countries. The Obama administration has restricted air travel from West Africa to five airports with enhanced screening, amid calls for a complete travel ban. The Policy Beat examines the use of U.S. immigration controls to halt the spread of disease.
Recent surges in the arrival of unauthorized migrants with possible humanitarian claims have prompted the United States and the European Union to consider in-country and offshore processing for some refugee and asylum applications. As this article explores, some of the questions raised about the feasibility of such programs include their consistency with humanitarian law and their effectiveness in reducing unwanted entries.
In 2013, 11.6 million Mexican immigrants resided in the United States, accounting for 28 percent of the total foreign-born population, making Mexicans the largest immigrant group in the country. Using the latest data, this Spotlight examines the Mexican immigrant population by size, location, language ability, workforce participation, and more.
Drawing on a case study of two Hmong refugee populations from Laos that were resettled in a major Texas city and a German village, this article explores the different approaches to immigrant integration found in the United States and Germany as well as the outcomes for the Hmong and their sense of belonging in their new communities.
As Central American child migrant flows have returned to their precrisis level, challenges remain concerning the fate of tens of thousands of newly arrived children and families now residing in the United States pending immigration court hearings. Meanwhile, Congress has declined to authorize new funding to address the situation.
The Migration Information Source has published a series of special issues that focus on particular migration trends of note, among them "Migration in the Modern Chinese World," "Women and Migration," and a special issue on migration and development. Check out our Special Issue Library.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
An estimated 4.7 million Iraqis remain displaced either internally or in neighboring countries, and Iraq is still the leading source of asylum applicants worldwide.
Circular migration means a continuing, long-term pattern of international mobility. The European Union set up two pilot programs in 2008 that seek to facilitate this type of movement.
Remittances to developing countries have steadily climbed, but the economic crises this year raise the question of how those countries will fare with the United States and Europe in recession.
Although far from foolproof in deterring would-be migrants, border fencing remained a priority for many countries in 2008.
Economy's Effect on Migration
Without question, the seismic changes in the global economy will affect migration patterns, but evidence of those changes does not yet exist. Extreme caution is necessary in analyzing current statistics. For instance, Mexico's national statistical institute INEGI reported in November that emigration rates dropped from 14.6 per 1,000 in May 2006 to 8.4 per 1,000 in May 2008. We cannot know the exact role that the U.S. recession may have played in this decrease.

France is introducing a new three-pronged approach to immigrant integration: a revised integration plan, a proactive campaign against discrimination, and a more open but still highly selective immigration policy.
The number of asylum applications lodged with European Union countries fell slightly in 2001, and the number of requests received by particular countries varied enormously.
Danger often awaits people who set out by boat, seeking safety from upheaval or persecution. MPI Co-Director Kathleen Newland examines how governments, the shipping industry, and international bodies have succeeded — or too frequently, failed — to cast a line to those in need.
Over half a million Colombians abandon their homes every year as a result of the country's long-running internal strife, creating a flood of internally displaced persons. Hiram Ruiz of the U.S. Committee on Refugees analyzes the roots of the crisis and the difficulties ahead.
MPI Senior Fellow Doris Meissner, former head of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, shares her perspective on changes in U.S. migration policy since September 11, the prospects for an immigration agreement with Mexico, and the Department of Homeland Security.

The Chicago Cubs have signed sixth-round draft pick Dylan Cease to a contract with a $1.5 million bonus, reports MLB.com's Jim Callis.
The right-handed pitcher from Milton HS (GA) suffered an elbow injury – a partial UCL tear – this spring and elected not to have Tommy John surgery, but the injury caused him to drop in the draft. He was 11-1 with an 0.58 ERA his senior year.
Cease was committed to Vanderbilt University, who won the 2014 College World Series.
Cease's fastball was clocked at 91-95 mph, hitting 97 mph at times, according to MLB.com's scouting report. At 6-foot 1-inch, 175 pounds, he generates velocity with his athleticism and arm speed.
Cease pitched in the Under Armour showcase in August at Wrigley Field, which showcases 36 of the best prep players in the country.
Callis also made several notes about Cease and the Cubs' draft as a whole, including that he will have Tommy John surgery on July 22.
Cease's $1.5 mil bonus is fourth-highest ever for 6th-rder, most since restrictive draft rules came into play in 2012. @MLBDraft @Cubs
— Jim Callis (@jimcallisMLB) July 4, 2014
Nice @MLBDraft for @Cubs, get best college bat in Schwarber at 4, use savings to land Sands ($1.1 mil), Steele ($1 mil), Cease ($1.5 mil).
— Jim Callis (@jimcallisMLB) July 4, 2014
As of now, Cease ties for 34th-highest bonus in 2014 @MLBDraft at $1.5 mil despite impending TJ. Tied for 11th among HS P this year. @Cubs

Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. Go straight to jail!
Laura Chavez did not pass go. She did not collect $200.
Instead, Santa Fe County Sheriff's deputies took the 60-year-old directly to jail after they say she repeatedly stabbed her boyfriend Wednesday after arguing during a game of Monopoly.
Police responded to a stabbing call at 1:21 a.m. Wednesday in the Casa Villita Apartments…Deputy Kurt Whyte arrived at the apartment where he says he found the 48-year-old male stabbing victim, "bleeding heavily from his head and right wrist area."
Chavez, who police say admitted stabbing the man with a kitchen knife, was arrested and charged with aggravated battery on a household member with a deadly weapon, battery upon a peace officer, assault upon a peace officer and resisting or evading a police officer…Her boyfriend, meanwhile, remained hospitalized late Wednesday but was in stable condition, according to Lt. Adan Mendoza.
Police say both Chavez and her boyfriend appeared to be intoxicated.
According to the statement of probable cause filed for Chavez's arrest drafted by Detective Andrew Quintana, Chavez and her boyfriend were playing a late Tuesday night game of Monopoly with her 10-year-old grandson. The young boy told police the couple began fighting because his grandma thought her boyfriend was cheating at the classic Parker Brothers game…
Investigators say they were not aware of past domestic violence calls regarding the couple, but jail records show Chavez has been booked into the Santa Fe County jail nine times since June 2006, many of which were related to violations of probation and the conditions of her release from a 2009 felony drug possession case in which she eventually received a conditional discharge.
Every aspect of life in a banana republic culture can be exciting. Even a board game can turn into an assault.
Here's our latest mission-critical trademark fight
Rival wine sellers targeting overworked mothers are fighting over use of the word "Mommy" on their wine labels, according to a lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court.
In the suit, filed on Monday, California-based winery Clos Lachance Wines asked the court to declare that its "Mommyjuice" does not violate the trademark of "Mommy's Time Out," which is marketed by a New Jersey distributor.
"Mommy is a generic word that they don't have a monopoly on," said KC Branch, an attorney who represents Clos Lachance.
The owner of "Mommy's Time Out" declined to comment on the lawsuit.
To succeed in a trademark violation case, a brand owner must show it is likely that a rival's mark will create confusion in the minds of consumers.
The front label of Mommyjuice features a drawing of a woman juggling a house, teddy bear and computer. The back label advises moms to "tuck your kids into bed, sit down and have a glass of Mommyjuice. Because you deserve it." The wine is available in a white Chardonnay and a red mixed blend.
The front label of "Mommy's Time Out," an Italian wine sold in red and white, shows an empty chair facing a corner. A wine bottle and glass sit on a table next to the chair…
Mendelson also noted that wines with "fanciful" names have proliferated as marketers try to reach new categories of customers. In recent years, vintners have launched wines like "Fat bastard," "Cleavage Creek" and a red wine featuring a rooster called "Big Red Pecker."
Within the confines of market battles, one business competing in dead earnest against another – restricting yourself to the ground rules of lawyers and other idiots is a game for automatons, pedants and mutant religions.
Judge dismisses crap monopoly lawsuit against Apple
A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed charges from a small computer maker that Apple is a monopolist because it tightly controls which computer makers build machines using its Macintosh operating system software.
With his ruling, U.S. District Judge William Alsup has handed Apple its latest victory against cloners that create and sell machines based on Apple's software.
Psystar…was challenging Apple's requirement that only Apple-branded devices use its software, which Psystar contends illegally ties the sale of one product to another. That's not the case with operating system software from Microsoft or the open source Linux, which can be installed on devices from any number of manufacturers, Psystar said.
In his 16-page decision Tuesday, Alsup ruled Apple's products don't constitute a market to dominate. As a consequence, Apple then can't be considered a monopolist, Alsup wrote.
Psystar is a dipshit little outfit that some people think was cobbled together by lawyers and opportunists just to sue Apple. The result was logical and pretty much expected. That still doesn't mean that Psystar and their supporters won't appeal and try to drag this out in an attempt to make money from the American lawsuit farm.

Companies from Jadaf visit upcoming facility at Dubai Maritime City
Jadaf Dubai, the oldest ship repair and industrial marine yard in the Arabian Gulf region, recently organized a visit for managers and representatives of companies operating at the yard, to Jadaf's new facility presently under construction at Dubai Maritime City (DMC). The visit was aimed at providing companies detailed updates on the progress of the new project as well as to give an overview of the facilities and services offered by DMC.
Jadaf officials briefed company representatives on the developments taking place at the new project site and answered their queries, thus helping these companies develop a clear perspective on all aspects related to their relocation to the DMC site upon project completion.
During the visit Hamed Bin Lahej, General Manager of Jadaf said, "There are 270 companies operating in Jadaf, who we consider not just as investors but our valuable partners in production. We are committed to the development and growth of our constituent companies and have organized this visit to provide them an opportunity to inspect the facilities at the new location, which will allow for a smooth transfer of work to DMC. Being the world's largest maritime development with plenty of space for all kinds of marine companies, we expect an upsurge in the number of ship repair companies and allied business operating in DMC in the coming years."
"Once completed, DMC, with its world class services, will be the hub for all maritime activity, accommodating hundreds of companies from different the entire marine industry spectrum, both within UAE and outside. Adding a new facet to Dubai, the project will also satisfy the growing marine needs of our clients."
DMC is a massive one-of-its-kind project in the world, built on a peninsula currently under construction between Dubai Dry docks complex and Dubai's Port Rashid. The city will be the hub for maritime businesses from six diverse sectors — marine services; marine management, product marketing; marine research and education; recreation; ship design and manufacturing. Once completed, the drydock at Jadaf will be relocated to DMC.

Book Description:
The nineteenth edition of Real World Macro is a lively and thought-provoking supplement to introductory and intermediate macro-economics textbooks. Real World Macro asks the questions that standard textbooks largely neglect: What's so great about growth? Is unemployment "natural"? What's so new about the New Economy? Along with covering the basics -- monetary and fiscal policy, productivity and investment, inflation and unemployment -- Real World Macro includes a chapter on major controversies in macroeconomics, such as the legacy of Keynesianism in the United States and the basics of Marxist economic theory. Real World Macro's readable articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the bimonthly magazine of popular economics. Dollars & Sense also publishes Real World Micro, Current Economic Issues, Real World Globalization, Real World Banking, The Environment in Crisis, Introduction to Political Economy, and Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination.

Undefeated vs. Underwhelming
Brian O'Neill
October 05 2009 02:36PM
The Canucks, after two gruesome games last week have come home to raise a banner and hope not to get boo'd off the ice. But have no fear faithful, Coach AV took the time to explain to the Twins what a penalty is and what constitutes a penalty so we should have a better proportion of PP's to PKs.
Defence and Discipline - FIX IT!
Cam Davie
October 04 2009 12:38AM
After 2 straight loses to start this season, there are two obvious issues with the Vancouver Canucks. They need to drastically improve both their defensive play and their discipline. They need to identifty the problem, address it and FIX IT!
For reals?
Brian O'Neill
October 03 2009 11:33PM
Ok, seriously? The fabled cup contending-Canucks have had their asses handed to them two games in a row. It's time to play the blame game.

Ugly start to the season
Cam Davie
October 02 2009 08:27PM
Alain Vigneault forgot to remind his team that the game starts at the beginning of the first period, not the second period.
The Vancouver Canucks got off to a woeful start to their 2009-2010 campaign, as they lost 5-3 to the Calgary Flames last night. The second half of the game was a drastic and impressive improvement, but their start to the game was as bad as we've seen the Canucks play in several years.

The Tribune White Sox beat writer answers questions throughout the season. This week, in the second of two entries, he discusses Paul Konerko's slow start, the farm report, and more on Brian Anderson.
I am wondering why there was not 100 percent response of Major League players to wear No. 42 last Sunday in honor of Jackie Robinson? What could be the reason that any major leagueror minor leaguer, for that matterwould not want to wear that uniform number. I read where some had made mention that too many would be overkill but what if all players and coaches had worn No. 42? Your thoughts? --Frank Bartos, West Dundee
Mark, in your last column about Mark Buehrle's no hitter today, you mentioned that Buehrle won the All Star Game and had a victory as well as a save in the 2005 World Series. In reality, he did not earn a win, but did have a save (Game 3 in Houston). He would have won Game 2 had Bobby Jenks not blown the save, setting the stage for Scott Podsednik's walk-off home-run. --Manav K. Salwan, M.D., Bloomingdale
Mark Liptak of White Sox Interactive expressed his apologies for the mistake, and I'm sorry as well.
Hi Mark, please get to Paul Konerko. Why his slow start? I viewed tapes of games of him in last 5 years. When he has problems his swing is very long. When his swing is long the end of the bat is way over his shoulder pointing at the pitcher. When he is hitting well his swing is shorter because the end of the bat is not pointing at the pitcher but is perpendicular to his shoulder. Crede has the same problem now. --Joe Kamin, Schererville, Ind.
It looks like Joe has corrected his problems. Paul got off to a slow start in 2005, but his current strikeout rate is alarming.
Which former Sox player, currently in the majors, do you think the Sox most wish they did not trade or allow to leave as a free agent? --Jim, Vienna, Va.
Chris Young of the Diamondbacks, dealt in the Javier Vazquez trade, should be a future All-Star center fielder.
It's amazing how much Guillen must hate Brian Anderson. Against a lefty he starts Ozuna in left in the leadoff spot and moves Erstad to the 7th spot. That's working to keep Anderson on the bench. So, what happens, Ozuna misplays a fly ball and we end up with a four-run inning. Anderson has that easy. Do you think Guillen simply dislikes BA or is trying to show the GM that it's Guillen who decides who plays and he's not playing Anderson? Also, it seems you and others, like the cheerleaders, Hawk and DJ, are reluctant to criticize Ozzie over anything. Why is that? --Jeffrey Hartnett, St. Louis
I wouldn't mess with Hawk or D.J. I'd hate to see Hawk's hands around your neck.
Jeffrey, I'm not a columnist. But I can tell you that Anderson didn't help his cause by taking a circular route to a single that Brandon Inge turned into a double.
Why is Anderson on this team? Ozzie obviously doesn't like him and the Sox are stunting his growth by letting him waste away on the bench. And what exactly am I missing about Erstad? What has he done to start every day? --Terry, Alsip
"We're here to win," Ozzie has said on many occasions. Erstad has 11 years of experience and a few Gold Glove awards. If he's not picking up his average considerably by the end of May, then it could be time to drop him permanently in the order. But there have been only 17 games played to this point.
Why isn't Brian Anderson starting now that Pods is injured? Let's give the kid a chance. If not, why is he with the major league club? --Justin, Minneapolis
I agree that Brian should play more. Brian gives the Sox an exceptional defensive outfielder and can run. The perfect solution would be a right-handed hitting outfielder who could hit like Mackowiak.
If Pods has an injury plagued season, what do the Sox do for a leadoff hitter? Do you think Erstad can be the answer? --Tony Rich, Shelton, Conn.
I'm not sure Erstad is the answer against left-handed pitchers. If Pods doesn't return by July 1, I'd think they'd need someone from outside the organization.
I think that the regularsDye, Konerko, etc.did not play enough in the Spring to be ready for the season openerwitness their current batting averages. What do you think? --Frank Johnson, Watertown, N.Y.

Clinical utility of fixed combinations of sitagliptin–metformin in treatment of type 2 diabetes
Authors Karen Barnard, Mary Elizabeth Cox, Jennifer B Green

Abstract: Adequate glycemic control in type 2 diabetes remains a difficult but achievable goal. The development of new classes of glucose-lowering medications, including in particular the incretin-based therapies, provides an opportunity to utilize combinations of medications which target multiple physiologic abnormalities in type 2 diabetes. Complementary combination therapy with sitagliptin–metformin lowers glucose via enhancement of insulin secretion, suppression of glucagon secretion, and insulin sensitization. Use of this combination in diabetes management will provide a greater degree of glycosylated hemoglobin-lowering than that seen with the use of either drug as monotherapy, is unlikely to cause significant hypoglycemia, and is generally associated with weight loss. The effectiveness, tolerability, and potential cost savings associated with the use of sitagliptin–metformin combination therapy make this an attractive option in diabetes management. The possible beneficial effects of this therapy on beta cell function, as well as its cardiovascular impact, remain inadequately explored but are of significant interest.
