This week's blog post will introduce you to Patrice F. Al-Shatti, L.M.S.W., an oncology social worker at Mayo Clinic.
Patrice works with individuals going through radiation oncology treatment. She visits with them and their family members, working together to identify goals and strategies for support and resources.
She helps discover sources of financial support, tap into benefits, and identify changes in lifestyle that might reduce stress and accommodate current circumstances. She serves as an advocate for the individual's needs, focusing the attention on the specific concern.
When counseling is the identified need, she might share communication strategies to keep a marriage healthy under the intense pressures of illness or offer ways for parents to talk to children so that they're informed, included, yet guided toward normalcy.
She also can help address other important quality of life issues, such as depression, sleep, fatigue and other treatment-related effects.
A diagnosis of cancer can make you feel as if your entire life has been turned upside down. As you and your family struggle to deal with all of the aspects of this major change in your life, get in touch with an oncology social worker.
A surprising fact is that in most cases the services are free of charge. In healthcare settings, social workers are members of the multidisciplinary team. Ask your physician if a social worker is available to you.
If your treatment center does not offer the service, check to see if your community has a Gilda's Club, a Wellness Community — known as the Cancer Support Community in some areas — or call your American Cancer Society (800-227-2345) for resources and support.
You can also explore the website of the Association of Oncology Social Workers to find a provider and learn more about this role. The cancer journey is a challenging road and it's our great desire to walk it with you. Please share any thoughts or experiences with Patrice through this blog discussion.

I just finished chemo & rad. for tongue and oral cancer, also in lymph node in neck. having issues with herniated disks in cervical area, my teeth move around like checkers on a board making already cut up tongue even more tender. they remove 1/3 of my tongue. any way had side affects from chemo,surgery radiation, radiation made already hurting herniated disks, now not even 2 months done with physica; treatments, and the doctor is going to take p[ain meds away! cold turkey help I don't know what to do
MY boyfriend had renal cancer and they took out his kidney He still has a mass just outside the pancreas and is undergoing pinpoint radiation.Can you tell me about it and the side effects?
Especially for Diane..I have never done a post before ..just too difficult to express all of the pain. My husband was diagnosed @ age 52 w/ stage 3 colorectal cancer in 2007--found on his 1st colonoscopy--after 2 rounds of chemo & major radiation to this area--his rectum was removed/had a j-pouch-and had many painful & numerous bowel movements a day --in the bathroom up to 20X a day-- sometimes.
He has had 4 major surgeries since his diagnosis. Finally, he had a permanent colostomy in early 2011--neither of us could ever imagine that this would be our life. We have been forever changed. The colostomy seems to have solved several digestive issues and at least he is not in pain/running to the bathroom constantly & has more control of all. Prior to his colonoscopy, his only visit to a hospital was when he was born. No one should have to suffer like this, I totally agree. But life can be unimaginably hard as we all know. The colostomy has made our suffering more tolerable. Best, Carol
My husband is having trouble digesting food and we think it's due to the chemo. His surgeon said that many of his patients complain about how chemo affects their bowels. Does anyone else have issues with this problem or tricks to help chemo intestines go awawy. I'm very worried. He cannot gain weight. He had rectal cancer, his rectum was removed and has a j-pouch now...and not a colostomy. He's a 4-yr cancer survivor. He has extreme pain with abdomin pain and Bowel Movements. We think that there is a link between the chemo's after effect on the intestines so, does anyone know how to combat chemo intestines? I've heard of a breast cancer survivor that has had bowel/intesintal issues for 8-yrs and that's 8-yrs a cancer survivor. So, how many people suffer with chemo intestines issues and what can be done to fix/repair the chemo damage on ones intestines? I've removed many foods that cause gas, bloating & diarehia too. He eats no more corn, brocolli, kraut, & etc... I've taken gluten out of his diet about 1-yr ago and that isn't working either. I'd realy appreciate some kind of help/secret/solution ASAP!!! No one should have to suffer like he's been suffering. Thanx for the help.....bye, Diane
I moved in with my brother and his family. They have been wanting me to come for some time. I went from living on a gravel road with a lake in my backyard in mississippi to living with my only surviving immediate family in texas where i can barely find my way out of their neighborhood. I appreciate all they have sacrificed to have me in their home but with no way of my own transportation there is no way for me to get a part time job, meet people to make friends or even feel like i'm anything above existing. I don't understand my feelings or sure of my limitations, so how can I make the adjustment easier for me and my new full time family? I feeel like nothing more than a burden.
Julie's note brings tears to my eyes. No one should die, especially at such a young age, for lack of treatment. I have tried to keep my long nose out of other peoples' politics, but as the citizen of a country with socialized medicine, I can assure you it is the only fair way to go. It is far from perfect. There are provincial differences about what is covered, but I know that I will never lose coverage just because I was treated for cancer. Should I require further treatment, it will be given regardless of my social status or personal wealth. I can also assure you that my 91-year-old mother-in-law and my same age-aunt have not been set out to suffer or die. They get whatever tretment is medically necessary.
Julie, this is Sheryl. Most hospitals have a compassionate care program. You could inquire about this at your local hospital. Or, you may want to take a look at the services offered at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (http://www.stjude.org/referapatient). Depending on their requirements, she may qualify for a treatment trial.
I found out a young lady 19 or 20 that hangs out with one of my children has untreated lung cancer. She received radiation but her insurance co. dropped her (I don;t know if she was ineligible under her parents policy or they dropped their policies because they are about to lose their home.) At any rate I wish I could financially help her but I don't have the funds but I am on a mission to find out how to get her the treament she deserves. She is trying to work her way through college to get a special ed. degree so she will have insurance and help kids. I worry she is going to get sick soon. Do you know of anyone who can help to get her the lung cancer treatment she needs? please reply back with any ideas I just can't stand to wait on her cancer to progress. Thank you
This article was really informative! Thank you for posting it!
As noted, other survivors are great sources of assistance with lingering side effects. And given that your treatment was recently completed, I encourage you to bring your survivorship questions, in written form, to your follow up physician appointment. Your own persistence, and a request for help to develop a survivorship care plan, should start you on the way to recovery. Good luck!
I just finished my 3 round (of 6) of chemo for ovarian IV cancer. I have found that B6 twice a day helped me with my neuropathy, mostly burning of the bottoms of my feet and ringing of the ears. My oncology nurse suggested it and it did seem to work after I took it 2-3 days.
Gilda's Club is a wonderful place for cancer support. I have been attending the ovarian/gyn. support group at my local Gildas Club for nearly six years, thru 3 occurences of ovarian cancer. My friends at Gildas are now my best friends, more understanding, more supportive than any other friends or relatives. Its a great place for help and understanding.
Also with regard to neuropathy, my onocologist recommended L-Glutamine to be taken for 3 days after each chemo treatment. It has definitely helped keep the neuropathy at bay thru the last two recurrences of cancer. Please check with your doctors.
I am miserable with hypersensitive hands after 4 cycles of ABVD for stage 2 Hodgkins. I finished my chemo a month ago and the sensitivity seems to get worse. It hurts to turn on the lamp, to open the resealable cheese, even to open and close my water bottle.
My oncology nurse seemed pretty dismissive when I asked about it toward the end chemo. "oh it should get better in a few weeks". well its going the other way.
So are there topical meds or pills to help?
Will this likely get better over time?
thanks for sharing your perspective.
Long term cancer survivorship is a growing national concern as screening and treatment methods advance. 10 million Americans are in your shoes and we understand more every day about the late effects (those that pop up long after treatment is over), and long-term effects (those that arose during treatment but never went away) of cancer and it's treatment. Survivors also experience emotional, social, financial, and employment difficulties that impair quality of life and make it difficult to move forward. I encourage you to list your concerns and make an appointment with your oncologist. If you have moved or lost track of this provider, find a new one and bring your records. Building a survivorship care plan is best done at the end of treatment, but it's never too late to start. The Lance Armstrong Livestrong website has an interactive care plan that might help you plan for this visit. You can find it at http://www.livestrongcareplan.org/questions.cfm. To validate your experience and give you direction, I definitely encourage you to tap into the survivorship education and support that is increasingly available. The Wellness Community's Cancer Transitions program http://www.cancersupportcommunity.org/mm/Treatment-Ends/cancertransitions.aspx
is a great place to start. CancerCare.org also has a great phone counseling program and excellent guidance for survivorship concerns. You are not alone and the skills that helped you through treatment will guide you to the answers you need.
i am a 3 time cancer survivor i have had chemo radiation surgery i am starting to have problems from the treatment can you help me find someone who knows anything about long term effects from chemo and radiation
Hi! As Sheryl noted, social workers can address a surprising variety of needs and I'd love to share ways we can collaborate with you to improve quality of life. If you are a patient, or love someone with cancer, what are you struggling with? I'd love to give you the social work perspective: a resource, a way of looking at things you may not have thought about, or maybe just confirmation that it sounds like you're using your best strengths in a time of significant challenge.

Maeve Binchy is the author of Maeve's Times: In Her Own Words, and many bestselling novels, including A Week in Winter, Minding Frankie, Heart and Soul, Whitethorn Woods, Circle of Friends and Tara Road, which was an Oprah's Book Club selection. Married to Gordon Snell, she lived in Dalkey, Ireland, until her death in 2012.
"Joyful, quintessential Binchy." —O, The Oprah Magazine
"All across America, Maeve Binchy fans will be kicking off their shoes, making a nice cup of tea, and curling up on the couch as they re-enter Binchy's cozy world." —The Seattle Times
"Binchy's worldview is a large, benevolent one, and the reader is happier for it. . . . Bless her big Irish heart." —Minneapolis Star Tribune

"A comforting experience. . . . Warmhearted." —The Denver Post
"In Minding Frankie Binchy proves again why she's the master of the intelligent comfort novel." —The Plain Dealer
"Maeve Binchy has done it again [with] yet another warm tale of individual growth and human community, [in which] she assembles a large cast of characters and deploys them with her characteristic playfulness . . . Binchy specializes in exploring human foibles without spelling them out in tiresome detail . . . There's a good chance that many readers, like this one, will consider Minding Frankie one of Binchy's best novels yet." —BookPage

"Reading one of Maeve Binchy's novels is like coming home." —The Washington Post
1. Have you read any of Maeve Binchy's other novels? How does this one compare?
2. If you've read other Binchy books, which characters did you recognize? Are there any you'd like to see in a future novel?
3. There are many parents in the book. Who would you say does the best job, and why?
4. There are a number of recent retirees, voluntary and otherwise, who become an important part of Frankie's life. What kind of roles do her grandparents, Josie and Charles, take on? What about Dr. Hat and Muttie? More generally, what do the very young and the very mature have to offer each other? Which generation do you think needs the other more?
5. "Emily told herself that she must not try to change the world. . . . But there were some irresistible forces that could never be fought with logic and practicality. Emily Lynch knew this for certain" (page 22). What "irresistible forces" does she mean? How does she fight them?
6. It's clear what Noel gets from his relationship with Emily, but what does she get? How does the effect of alcoholism bond them?
7. Discuss Lisa's relationship with Anton. Why is she so oblivious to his less attractive qualities? What is her turning point?
8. Why is Moira so obsessed with Frankie's fate? Is it just fear, or is there something more going on?
9. How does Moira define "family"? How does Emily?
10. Lisa says to Moira, "I have a lot of worries and considerations in my life, but minding Frankie sort of grounds me. It gives it all some purpose, if you know what I mean" (page 239). Among Frankie's caretakers, who else might say this?
11. Discuss the ethics of Moira's dealings with Eddie Kennedy. Should she have told him about her father?
12. Anton says to Lisa, "I'm not the villain here, you know," and she responds, "I know. That's why I'm angry. I got it so wrong . . . " (page 314) What does she mean?
13. What did you think of Di Kelly's reason for staying with her husband? What would you have done?
14. What is your opinion of Noel's decision to get a DNA test? How would you have handled the results he received?
15. Many of the characters go through major upheavals in their lives. Who responds best, and why? Whose attitude changes the most?
16. What did you think of Stella's letter to Frankie? What did we learn from it?

Cycle mileage
Employees who use their own cycle for work (i.e. not to and from work) are entitled to 20p per mile, tax-free.
If an employer pays less than this, or no cycle mileage rate at all (which is not a good thing, of course!), an employee can still claim tax relief [2]by contacting HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) directly.
For more, see HMRC's guidance for employees who use their own vehicles for work [3]
Lending or hiring cycles or cyclists' safety equipment
If an employer lends or hires cycles or cyclists' safety equipment to employees, the benefit of this is exempt from tax on employment income. The cycles or equipment should be generally available to all employees, and mainly used for travel between home and the workplace.
The exemption also covers the provision of a voucher for hiring bicycles and equipment.
The relevant legislation does not define exactly what is meant by 'safety equipment', but HMRC says that it includes such things as:
- Cycle helmets which conform to European standard EN 1078
- Bells, bulb horns and lights including dynamo packs
- Child safety seats
- Reflective clothing along with white front reflectors and spoke reflectors
It does not include:
- Cycle computers
- Waterproof clothing that is not reflective clothing
- Cycle training
See HMRC's Exemption for bicycles [4] factsheet
Cycle to Work scheme
More and more employers are providing cycle/cycling safety equipment to their staff in conjunction with salary sacrifice arrangements, by subscribing to the Government's 'Cycle to Work Scheme'.
Through this, the employee usually pays a monthly rental, which is deducted from their salary before national insurance and income tax. This means that their taxable income is smaller, so they pay less tax. The employee should use the bike mainly for commuting to and from their workplace (although using it for pleasure is not disallowed, this should not be its main purpose).
At the end of the loan period, the employer can invite the employee to buy the equipment. HMRC have issued guidelines on the final price [5], which is based on a valuation of the bike, given its age and condition etc.
On average, staff who opt for the scheme save up to 40% of the total cost of a new cycle.
VAT: VAT registered employers can reclaim it at their marginal VAT rate on the purchase of the cycle (or related safety equipment), and pass this on as an additional saving to staff.
In an announcement in 2011, HMRC made it clear that it expects employees to pay VAT on their salary sacrifice payments (although people who signed their agreements before July 27th 2011 – and which extend beyond 31st December 2011 – are not affected).
VAT remains due, if a cycle is sold to an employee at the end of the loan period.
Reluctant employers? Some employers hesitate to introduce the scheme because they worry about the administrative burden. However, there are a number of companies – or 'cycle scheme facilitators' (usually, but not necessarily bike shops) - set up to help. They are very easy to identify through a search of the Internet.
Some employers are also concerned about encouraging cycling because they think it's risky and that they could be held liable if an employee is injured. As we explain elsewhere, the benefits of cycling far outweigh the risks and cyclists cause very little harm to other road users. It also helps keep the workforce fit, reduces absenteeism and reduces an organisation's adverse impact on the environment. Encouraging cycling is, therefore, the responsible thing to do.
For more on the Cycle to Work Scheme, see:
The Department for Transport's guide to the scheme [6]
The Cycle to Work Alliance [7]
Travel Plans
Employers who draw up a 'green' travel plan – a package of practical measures to reduce car use for journeys to and from work and for business travel – do not have to pay tax or NICs on offering staff:
- Cycles and safety equipment
- Workplace parking for cycles
See HMRC's factsheet on Green Travel Plans [8].
Cycling breakfasts
Employers can provide a tax-free breakfast to cyclists on designated 'Cycle to Work' days, to encourage people to try cycling to work. However, this relief has been repealed and will no longer be available from 6 April 2013. The changes are set out in HMRC's Cycle to Work Days - Provision of Meals: Repeal of Relief [9]

Undergraduate Research Opportunity: Posters on the Hill
Each spring, the Council on Undergraduate
Research (CUR) hosts an annual undergraduate poster session on
Capitol Hill. This event helps members of Congress understand
the importance of undergraduate research by talking directly
with the students whom these programs impact. In addition,
several federal funding agencies are invited to the event. This
is a tremendous opportunity for undergraduate students to share
their research with a most impressive audience.
Abstracts should represent CUR's
divisions (Arts and Humanities, Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences,
Health Sciences, Mathematics/Computer Science,
Physics/Astronomy, Psychology, and Social Sciences). Each
abstract should explain the work that was performed and discuss
the importance of the work to society (i.e., what larger problem
were you trying to solve or understand?). There will be
two student presentation sessions, a luncheon panel and poster
session for arts and humanities students, and an evening poster
session and reception for science and social sciences students.
For SU students interested in being
considered for inclusion, applications are now being accepted
and the deadline for submission is Wednesday, November 5, 2014. The
session is scheduled for mid-March 2015. For more information,

Quilts honor veterans of war
Monday, April 22, 2013
ROLLINSFORD ― Sunday, in the hall of the Rollinsford American Legion Post 47, Quilts of Honor caused a crowd of more than 300 people to react joyously at an almost sacred event.
The quilts, all handmade, ringed the stage. As Robinson called each recipient to the stage, he gave a brief description of the years served and what each did while in the service of their country.
As this was occurring, several quilters presented a lap quilt to the veteran.
Several of the recipients were over 90 years of age, yet spryly approached the stage, giving vocal thanks to the presenters and whipping off snappy salutes.
They were from all branches of the service and served in many capacities. Said 88-year-old Marilyn Sheein Bradburn, the only woman recognized this day, "my brother joined the Navy just after WWll started and I felt I should do my part so I joined the WAVES. This is lovely, I never expected anything like this."
A very sprightly 95-year-old Frank Hall garbed in full uniform, recalled his service.
"I spent my time in several places, training at Fort Sill Oklahoma, going to England and serving in Europe from 1942 to 1945. I went to France in the fourth wave to land on Omaha Beach on D-Day, and spent time in Europe during the Battle of the Bulge."
"I've spent the rest of my time in North Berwick," said Hall, an auto dealer of over 60 years.
Sante Guiliani of York is a Vietnam veteran who received his quilt from friend Mary Black Andrews. "I really appreciate this, it is a real surprise and pleasure to receive it," said Guiliani, in attendance with his wife Eileen.
Fourteen-year-old Lily Baker of Rollinsford understood the significance of the day.
"This is a very nice event," said the eighth-grader at Somersworth Middle School. "It is good for the community to give back to people who gave us our safety."

Tons of compliments
Military Themed - Army Dress Blues Pocket Invitations I thought these would be perfect for our military wedding ... and apparently many of our guests thought so too because we have received so many compliments about how cute our invitations were. Love, love, love them! I also really liked that I was able to edit the colors so that I could change the pants color to better reflect the actual colors of the Army dress blue uniform. Perfect!
Military Themed - Army (USA) Save the Date Cards I ordered the cards on a Thursday and received them the following Wednesday. I could not be more happy with the product and same goes for my handsome fiance. We really wanted to let everyone know it is a military (Air Force) style wedding due to how a good handful of the guests are a part of some military branch. We were able to personalize them to the way we wanted but ultimately, I only changed the content of the text and left most of it as it was because I ultimately loved the cards the way they were. I give it a 5 out of 5, definitely worth it.
Great Thank You
Military Themed - Army Dress Blues Thank You Cards This was great as it stuck with the theme of our invitations, was simple, and easy to make it personalized. The quality is good, heavier paper. Would recommend.
Love it!
Military Themed - Army Dress Blues RSVP Postcards The RSVP cards turned out great! I was able to change all of the colors to my liking... even made the flowers light enough to look more like snowflakes for a January wedding! I changed the format slightly and was able to fit all of the menu options with detailed descriptions of the choices.
Military Themed - Army Dress Blues Address Labels The labels are great! Shipped very quickly and colors look exactly how they did on the computer. I only wish there was an option to have the bride and groom standing next to each other instead of on opposite sides of the label, but very happy with the way they turned out nonetheless.

British Council International Student Survey [^]
You may have seen in the press that The Home Office has recently instructed the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to suspend its TOEIC and TOEFL testing in the UK due to potential concerns regarding fraud. The Home Office has also suspended processing student immigration applications in the UK that include ETS qualifications, while it investigates. Applications made using ETS qualifications will not be refused or rejected on this basis but may be delayed.
If you were intending to take or have already taken an ETS English language test in the UK for use in your immigration application, for a course below degree level, you should arrange to take a test with one of the five other providers of secure English language tests that are approved by the Home Office instead.
If you need to make an extension application to the Home Office very soon, please do not allow your immigration permission to expire while you wait to sit a test with one of the other five providers. Please contact the Advice Zone straightaway who will be happy to offer help and advice.

For example, a new entrant Financial Manager will be expected to earn at least £25,600 rather than the normal salary of £37,500 and a new entrant Business Analyst will be expected to earn at least £24,900 rather than the normal salary of £30,600.

UNH Lodging Index: Decline Continues in November
Sunday, December 23, 2012
DURHAM — U.S. lodging executives continue to be less optimistic about present general business conditions, according to the University of New Hampshire Lodging Executives Sentiment Index (LESI) for the current month ending November 2012. The index slipped from 56.3 in October 2012 to 50.1 in November 2012.
Managed by the Department of Hospitality Management at the UNH Whittemore School of Business and Economics, LESI is based on a monthly survey of lodging executives representing companies with more than 2.5 million hotel rooms across lodging segments and geographic regions of the United States — more than 55 percent of all U.S. rooms.
Looking forward 12 months, lodging executives expect to add fewer nonmanagerial employees, representing a continued decrease in expectations for lodging executives reporting in October 2012. This periods decline is also in-line with the ISM Employment Index, which decreased by 3.7 percentage points, registering 48.4 percent. However, this is counter to the decrease of the national unemployment rate (7.7 percent in October 2012 from 7.8 percent in September 2012) as reported by BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics).

We had eight years of cutting spending on everything but the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, look where that has brought us.
This bill would not only add many dollars to our utility bills – not just for the rich, but for everyone, but it would destroy jobs in this country. Why would anyone pay cap and trade taxes here when they could go to China and not have those added taxes. Secondly, the science that is being used for these "global warming" stats has been proven to be false. Get a good "Discussion" with varied scientests – not just those that agree with Al Gore and prove with accurate data that the globe is actually warming. Plant a few trees – that will take care of the CO2!
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 4:52am
So your actually advocating for the companies who would leave the U.S? Not to mention that they've already done that en masse, before cap and trade proposals. This bill would not add many dollars to our utility bills, and it would not destroy jobs, it would create them. Common sense tells you new Industry brings new jobs, it's just time for government to stand behind renewable energy, like it has done coal, oil and nuclear for decades. Take away their government crutch; and they would fold in a second. I notice you people talk about excess spending now, that's foolishness. No excess spending has occurred for renewable energy, it's been the opposite with a failing coal and nuclear industry getting fattened with government subsidies and handouts designed for new and innovative technologies like renewable energy.
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 4:52am
Global Warming has not been proven false, because it is already occurring, it is not theory. the earths temperature has risen 1.4 degrees fahrenheit in the past century. You can see the changes with retreating glaciers, and heat waves that have killed many people. "Plant a few trees shows how ignorant you are of what global warming really is, do some reading and stop misleading the American Public.
- montalban1 06/02/2009 7:22am
I'm all for cap and trade!! Let's put a dunce cap on Obama and all the liberals in Congress and trade them for moderates and conservatives in 2010 and 2012.
We could reduce CO2 considerably if we all stopped breathing for just 1 hour per day!!!
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 5:22am
He is quite sickening.
Most people in the world, given a choice, would prefer clean energy over "dirty" energy (even those of us who already know climate change is a scam). We don't need any additional carrot or stick to choose clean over dirty. The problem is, there isn't a choice yet! Other than nuclear (which Obama will not support), we have no alternatives that can take the place of Coal & Petroleum.
Go ahead and tax dirty energy to the moon, but FIRST make an equivalent clean alternative available (without affecting our food supply). If the government wants to solve the problem, they can invest in R&D until a viable alternative exists, then push a transition. Govt could make a deal with a private company to guarantee a 10-year exclusive if they make it happen. It is quite simple. This bill is about CONTROL, not about helping the planet.
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 4:31am
Waste Biodiesel, Geothermal energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Ocean Current Systems are all viable alternatives to coal and petroleum. The last eight years were about control, wake up.
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 4:38am
Going into debt is what we're doing now; using China's economy to support our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq(Thanks Bush). Renewable energy will create manufacturing and green jobs in the US, unlike coal and oil who are downsizing their job force, and increasing their productivity. Coal clearly doesn't care for American workers, especially with all the mining accidents lately, black lung and poor wages is all you can expect from king coal nowadays, the oil industry isn't much different either. A new job industry demands new and specially trained workers=well paid. Manufacturing and construction industry will boom.
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 4:39am
If you think the last eight years created wealth your senseless.
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 4:56am
Thats libelous and inflammatory, the cost of electricity won't be raised beyond the reach or ordinary citizens.
Seems that all clear thinking people agree that this would only harm the Country. I was under the impression that WE were the country. Why are we letting this wacko decide what is not best for us? Hard to understand. I have said before that when over half of the people are on the dole the Country has reached a point of no return. It is here, I think..
- mizentropy 06/22/2009 8:44pm
Geez!……Doesn't somebody have a job they can give her already!!!!
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 5:04am
Seems you people all have jobs in promoting coal, nukes, gas and oil. Unlike you the rest of America need help finding jobs. I suppose you are so well paid you are unaware of the financial crisis afflicting America at this moment? The economy has tanked because of taxing wars and handouts to failing industries like coal and nuclear, too much of our money goes overseas. The world is jumping on renewable energy while America sits on the benches, sidelined by Big Business lobbyists like yourselves, it's time America became a world leader in something other than war again. We could do it, once you are out of our way. Let hardhatgirl fight for America, while you fight for big business.
- ClaudeLemieux 10/08/2009 5:12am
Perhaps you don't understand the science of it. No time in the worlds entire history has the rate of temperature changed as rapidly as it is doing now and has been doing since the industrial revolution. The Ice Age was ages ago, it has nothing to do with what is happening now. Scientist have correlated the rate of change with the rate of green house gas emissions(since the industrial revolution) into our atmosphere calculating the effect these gases would have on earths climate. Basically the temperature spiked when greenhouse gas emissions spiked, and it has been doing so ever since. Renewable energy is both better for our economy and our planet, as it doesn't produce smog(which can cause asthma that kills children every year), poisoned water and global warming among other things
Actually, CO2 increases have been shown to LAG temperature increases. How can anything in the future influence the past? If the themerature increase occurs BEFORE the CO2 increase, CO2 cannot cause the temperature increase.
Also, correlation does NOT mean causation. How do we know there is no hidden variable influencing both?

The Hornet is updated yearly, and includes helpful information like what each service office offers students, the academic calendar, and student life opportunities.
Student Conduct Policies & Procedures
The office of the Dean of Students oversees disciplinary matters for LC. The policies posted to the website are intended to help you understand what is expected of you and what the processes are should you be directly or indirectly involved in a disciplinary matter.
Lynchburg College expects that every member of the campus community will share in its historic commitment to academic honesty, personal integrity, and behavioral maturity. As an educational institution, the College is concerned with both the formal, in-class education of its students and their growth into mature men and women who conduct themselves as responsible citizens.
The uniqueness of the academic community requires particular sensitivity to both the individual rights of students and the rights of the College community. Rules and regulations are imperative as a basis for the orderly conduct of College activities and for maintaining an environment conducive to study, recreation, and personal growth. Regulations are intended to create sound living and learning conditions for all members of the campus community.
The College's standards of student conduct address three major areas of integrity. The Honor Code includes both academic integrity and personal integrity. The Student Conduct Code addresses respect for the rights of both the College and the people within the community. These standards of conduct are intended to encourage honesty in academic achievement as well as personal growth and development. The College is committed to an academic environment consistent with these standards, promulgating the following desired values and attitudes:
- Personal integrity rooted in respect for truth and love of learning;
- The capacity to make discriminating judgments among competing opinions;
- The courage to express one's convictions and to recognize the rights of others to hold and express differing views;
- Self-esteem rooted in the quest for achievement of one's potential;
- A sense of discipline and pride in one's work and respect for the achievements of others;
- A commitment to academic freedom as a safeguard essential to the purpose or the College and to the welfare of those who work within it;
- A sense of duty to self, family, and the larger community;
- Respect for the rights of all persons;
- A sense of and commitment to justice, rectitude, and fair play;
- Civility, including congenial relations between men and women;
- Understanding, sympathy, concern and compassion for others;
- An understanding of and appreciation for other cultures and traditions;
- The courage to oppose the use of substances that impair one's judgment or one's health; and
- Respect for one's property and the property of others, including public property.
- Interim action may include, but is not limited to: making a new residential assignment that requires a student to move; removing a student's ability to live on campus; restricting access to specified areas of campus; requiring a student to change to another section of an academic class and/or to stop attending a class; and interim suspension from the College. Actions implemented on an interim basis may be continued as part of the final outcome of the incident review.
- The vice president and dean for student development or his designee may determine that sufficient cause exists to impose interim suspension, excluding the student from all classes and other College activities and requiring the student to leave College property within the time specified in the interim suspension notice. When interim suspension is issued, a hearing is offered in accordance with Lynchburg College disciplinary procedures, usually within five class days of this interim action.
In accepting admission to Lynchburg College, a student agrees to learn and abide by all College policies and procedures. Upon participation in an activity to begin one's first academic session or semester at Lynchburg College (e.g., check-in, Hornet Days, January orientation, or class attendance), an admitted applicant is considered a student. From this point of matriculation through degree completion (or withdrawal from the College), any report of alleged misconduct may be addressed as a violation of the Lynchburg College Honor and Student Conduct Codes, even if the student was temporarily not taking class at the time of the incident (e.g., during leaves of absence or holiday and summer breaks). The Honor and Student Conduct Codes apply to students' behavior on campus, within the city of Lynchburg, in the surrounding counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, and Campbell, and anywhere when participating in a College program/event or acting in the capacity of a Lynchburg College student.
In addition to controlling their own behavior, students are expected to do their utmost to help maintain a high level of conduct among fellow students. College policies are set forth in writing to give students general notice of prohibited conduct; they are not designed to define misconduct in exhaustive terms and should be read broadly.
When a violation of College policy is believed to have occurred, the alleged infraction is reviewed by appropriate College officials or members of the student judicial board. If a student is found responsible for violating the Honor and Student Conduct Codes, sanctions are issued to facilitate the positive growth and development of the student and to maintain effective learning and residential environments on campus. Attempts to commit acts prohibited by the Honor and Student Conduct Codes may be addressed through the same disciplinary procedures and result in the same sanctions as completed acts.

Castelli Retro 2 Cap $14.95
Twice as retro.
Reminiscent of cycling in days-gone-by, the Castelli Retro 2 Cap offers little in the way of impact protection and everything in the way of style.
Simple, yes, but beautiful. And, as we've written countless times, quite practical. Shield your skull from the sun, protect your eyes from both the sun and rain, warm your noggin after finishing a race, keep sweat out of your eyes when mastering your spin on the rollers indoors. Wash them in the machine; so long as you keep them out of a hot dryer, they should last and last and last.
The Retro 2 cap is 100% cotton. It's a traditional four-panel pro design, with Castelli logos screened on the sides.
The Castelli Retro 2 cap comes in the following colors: Black, Natural, Navy, Multicolor Strip 001, Multicolor Strip 011, Multicolor Strip 0221, and Pink. One size fits most.

Solid piece
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Solid look, good fit, ultimate swag. Elasticity is key when it comes to these one size hats, this one manages to not cut off the circulation to the cranium while also managing to not slip right off the dome.

Great for Cold weather
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The best thing about colder weather is you get to wear these caps under your helmet. This cap does exactly what it was designed to do, keep your head warm and look good.
