Mind-Body Medicine
Development of a Nurse-Led Hypnosis Service at a Comprehensive Cancer Center : A Report from the SCEH Meeting in Berkeley
School of Mind-Body Medicine Chair Donald Moss attended the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis meeting in Berkeley in October, where he taught a competency course in breath training as an adjunct to hypnosis and chaired a symposium on pediatric applications of hypnosis and biofeedback. Dr. Moss is reporting in on relevant scientific programs at SCEH.
Kate Kravits, MA, RN, LPC, at the City of Hope in Duarte, California, provided a report on the development of a nurse-led service providing hypnosis for cancer patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis. This is an excellent example of progress in integrating mind-body services into the mainstream of healthcare. This program was initially inspired by Guy Montgomery's research showing that hypnosis can not only moderate the symptoms and suffering of breast cancer patients, but also save money for the institutions serving these patients. The City of Hope team contacted Dr. Montgomery, who agreed to serve as a consultant for the program. Establishing their service, the team encountered many barriers, notably prejudices against hypnosis as a medical intervention.
The program has an average of 3-5 patients referred each month. 54% of patients are seen in clinic, the remainder in the hospital. The top referring group is psychiatrists, next pain specialists, then hematology, medical oncology, and other groups. 27 patients have been referred to date. Four have refused hypnosis services – fearful that hypnosis is not safe.
Clinical outcomes: The majority of those patients with good follow up data have evidenced an immediate and a sustained response to hypnosis treatment. Those patients who did best, actually had a higher baseline "Karnofsky Performance Status score," indicating a higher functional status at baseline.

The growing popularity of mobile media through PC Tablets, Android Smartphones and even Apple's iPhones is allowing new methodology and movements is changing on how consumers are engaging and interacting with the media. Gone are the days of the Sunday morning newspaper being read at the breakfast table with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the business section in the other, gone are the days of the family gathering around the television to watch the five o'clock news while mom prepares dinner in the nearby kitchen. Today the media is mobile and so are the individuals accessing that media on a weekly, daily or even hourly basis. Media consumers can simply stay connected by clicking on MSNBC.com or CNN.com while we sit in a drive thru waiting for our morning Starbucks coffee; we're literally connected with the media at our very fingertips. With the our fingertip connection many publishers, media companies and application developers are eager to know whether they should optimize their content for particular devices, advertisers want to understand how these devices might eventually fit into their overall marketing plans and even online newspaper carriers such as the USA Today or even the Wall Street Journal want to evolve their business models in a multi-connection world. No one in the mobile media universe wants to be left behind in this ever changing digital expansion.
Overnight we have literally become a world "addicted to their Smartphones, iPhones and PC Tablets." Whereas most common usage of those particular devices tends to include socializing, downloading music, gaming, and surfing the event, researchers have slowly and steadily began to see changes even in the ways consumers shop for their groceries. According to IGD Research Corporation, 1 in 10 online shoppers are using Smartphones to shop usually comparing prices, bargains and brands and more than 15% of customer checkouts during the first half of the year came via their Smartphone applications. More than 66% of surveyors indicated claimed that more than 75% of Smartphone users such as HTC One S, BlackBerry Bold 9900, etc used their Smartphones for personal reasons and 69% of users used it for business purposes. In the United States consumers prefer to mobile browsers for banking, travel, shopping, local info, news, video, sports and blogs and prefer applications for games, social media, maps and music.
Smartphone usage is now a part of our daily lives whether at home or on the go and businesses without a Smartphone presence may find themselves competitively disadvantaged. Some mobile media and businesses changes to watch and take note of include 74.1% of mobile subscribers used text messaging on their mobile device, while 50.2% used downloaded applications. Smartphone and other mobile users cannot necessarily be defined by age, gender, income or race; instead they can be defined by their members' shared behaviors. It's up to businesses and mobile media to understand the common behavior traits that unite the class makes members easy to recognize and underscores the influence and utilize how their consumers are communicating, consuming media and deciphering consumer shopping and spending habits. Because the mobile media trend including Smartphones, iPhones and Tablets isn't going anywhere anytime soon but those that don't adapt will collapse as the mobile world around them continually presses forward.

ORLEANS–Drew Gallup had 16 points, and three other Rangers tied with 8 as Lake Region rolled over Peoples Academy 58-29 on Thursday.
The boys set the stage early, outscoring the Wolves 19-2 in the first quarter.
Gallup, Caleb Prue and Dennis Newland each had four points in the opening frame.
From there the points kept on coming.
Fourteen in the second, seventeen in the third, and finally eight in the fourth to wrap things up.
Every member of the team, save for one got in the scorebook on Thursday, making the win a very dominating team effort.
NEWPORT–Anna Bingham led all scorers with fifteen points and the North Country defense held the Cougars to single digits in all four quarters, as the Falcons rolled over Mount Mansfield 54-23.
"I think we played really well together today," said senior Michaela Stanley. "We made a lot of passes on offense and on defense our pressure was intense."
It was evident form the tip-off that North Country was going to have an easy time of it.
Bingham opened the scoring, followed by four points from Desiree Coffin and two form Britni Jewer before the Cougars' Rebecca Rapacz got MMU on the board.
JAY–The North Country boy's hockey team made their home debut on Wednesday evening, defeating the Spaulding Crimson Tide 5-3 to push their record to 2-0 on the young season.
The team was led by Ross DeLaBruere, who netted two goals and added two assists in a very productive four point night.
Already playing with a short bench, injuries to defensemen Brody Jacobs and Nate Marsh made it that much more of a challenge for coach Andrew Roy to find bodies to fill the holes vacated by these two.
BURLINGTON–Whitney Bernier scored nine seconds into the second period and Mikaella Doran stopped twenty-eight shots as the North Country girl's hockey team avenged an earlier 3-1 loss, defeating Division I So. Burlington 1-0 on Wednesday night.
"It was a slow start for us, and Mikealla really kept us in the game until we found our stride," said coach Claude Paul.
Indeed it was a rough start for the Falcons, as So. Burlington posted 14 shots on Doran in the first.
As the game went on, the Falcons got better.
The North Country Alpine team got their season underway at the St.J hosted "Pre-Christmas Carnival Slalom."
Many new faces hit the slopes of Burke Mountain for the Falcons, and here are some of the results.
Girls Combined 2 runs
1.Shelby Kantor, St.J 1:48.21
2.Pearce Bourassa, Linwood 1:49.54
3.Tori Harrington, MMU, 1:49.61
36. Janey Maci, NCU
Boys Combined 2 runs
1. Liam Genereaux, LI 1:39.88
2. Kyle Polson, MMU 1:40.80
3. Alvaro Catalan, MMU 1:46.60
26. Braxton Birchard, NCU
42. Jacob Swanson, NCU
43. Evan Clarke, NCU
44. Sam Bradley, NCU
NCU hockey picked up wins tonight across the board.
Boy's 5-3 over Spaulding.
Girl's 1-0 over South Burlington.
DERBY–The North Country wrestling team welcomed St. Johnsbury Academy and Champlain Valley Union to IROC for their lone home meet of the year on Tuesday night.
The night got underway with round one of action, pitting CVU against St. Johnsbury in their first matches of the evening, as the the Falcons stood in the wings, watching and waiting for their turn on the mat.
After the two visitors wrapped up, coach Chris Mandigo took to the mic to honor his seniors, Trevor Roberts, Josh Tompkins and Makenzie Steele.
After the ceremony, the Falcon-Redhawk matches got underway.
NEWPORT–The weekend's most anticipated game in Orleans County had to be the showdown between MVU and North Country in boy's basketball action.
The NCU gym was packed with the biggest crowd I have ever witnessed, all waiting to see how the new look Falcons fared against the state's top player Matthieu St.Amour and the rest of the Thunderbirds.
Players from Lake Region and UCA flooded into the gym, eager for play to begin.
JAY–Whitney Bernier poked home a loose puck on the left side of the net with 7:49 remaining to complete North Country's 3-2 come from behind win over Middlebury in girl's hockey action on Saturday evening.
The Falcons were not at full strength for the contest as multiple players were absent, most notably defenseman Emily Doty, who was attending a school-related function.
Doty's absence forced coach Claude Paul to move some players around, but the coach was able to mix and match with success and the team moved their record to 1-1.
NEWPORT–Two games, two completely different outcomes for the UCA boy's and girl's basketball teams on Saturday afternoon as they squared off against Concord at the Newport Elementary School.
In the opening game, the Wildcat girls took control early and never let up, winning decisively 38-13.
In the second game, the roles were reversed, and it was UCA administering the punishment as they handed their foes a very one-sided 64-22 loss.
Starting with the girl's game, Concord scored early and often in the first quarter racking up twelve points to UCA's two.

Your Friday night mission, if you choose to accept, is to figure out who said this:
Mr X: The New China. The real success has been made in the past dozen of years. Our country's president also admits they have the corruption problem, and some other stuff, but we are making progress. What I can see is our country is continuously making progress and learning. If you talk about corruption, the entire world, the United State, has no corruption?
Host: America.
Mr X: The most corrupt in the world.
Host: Really?
Mr X: Of course. Where does this Great Breakdown [financial crisis] come from? It started exactly from the world, the United States. When I was interviewed in the U.S., people asked me, I said the same thing. I said now that China has become strong, everyone is making an issue of China. If our own countrymen don't support our country, who will support our country? We know our country has many problems. We [can] talk about it when the door is closed. To outsiders, [we should say] "our country is the best."
Host: So he can't get enough of his more than 20 ambassador titles. I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should ask him to be the ambassador to the United States.
Mr X: Seriously, I am always like, when the door is closed, "Our country is like this and this. Who and who is not good." But outside, "Our country is the best, like so and so, is the best." You cannot say our country has problems [when you are outside], like "Yes, our country is bad."
Interesting. I don't blame him for standing up for his country. But he better watch out. Whatever flaws we may have in America, we don't touch China in terms of corruption.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
When Carbon High School was built 50 years ago it was put at the end of what is basically a dead end road that put it in a corner with only one access point. Now Carbon School District and Price City are talking about changing that.
During the school board meeting on June 17, CSD Superintendent Patsy Bueno said she had been in conversation with Price Mayor Joe Piccolo about building an access to the campus that would come out on 700 North.
"Price would like to partner with us on this," said Bueno. "They have talked about approaching the Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) for funds to do this."
According to Board President Barry Deeter, the cost of an engineering study for the road would be $8-10,000, while the cost of the road itself would probably cost between $30-40,0000.
Where such a road would be located is not a sure thing. There is a lot to deal with including the big hill north of the high school, as well as the soccer field north of the main building.
"There would be some challenges with moving that hill," said Bueno.
Some of the property such a road would pass over now belongs to the school district and some to the city.
Bueno was approaching the board for approval to put together some kind of letter of intent to partner with the city.
However as the board discussed the situation, they said that they were not quite ready to do that yet. They felt there were a lot of questions to be answered before the district even reached that point so they put the issue off until their July board meeting when some answers could be ready for them.
In this situation Price City would have to approach the CIB since school districts are ineligble for such funds. The CIB money comes from royalty money generated across the state by petroleum, gas and coal production.
During the Price City council meeting on June 24, Piccolo was asked about the possibility of a such a road and he said that the entire thing is still in its concept stage. "It would provide further access to the high school," said Piccolo, "We're just seen if there was interest."

after playing at adams music in belgium in march, last friday at musik-klier in nuernberg has been thomas' second clinic this year. he has been busy touring and recording with italian singer gianna nannini and kind of disappeared from the clinic scene this year a little bit. sometimes it is good to make yourself a little bit rare, because once you are back, there is more excitement about you. consequently, more than 400 people showed up at the clinic making it the best attended musik-klier has ever had (one guy even drove 4 1/2 hrs one way to see thomas). on behalf of thomas and meinl, thanks again to all who came to the clinic, and to andreas klier and peter heerdegen with his team for the great evening.

Our corporate team building programs bring the idea of teamwork to life.
From Nashville, Tennessee, we serve clients throughout the mid-Atlantic region (including Memphis, Tennessee; Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Knoxville, Tennessee; Chicago, Illinois; Columbus, Ohio; Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham), North Carolina) and world-wide.
Write (email@example.com) or call 615-297-2250 for a free consultation. We can help you build your team!
emphasizes cooperation and collaboration, rather than competition. We help individuals and teams reach beyond preconceived limits to accomplish the impossible. We create an environment for teams to unleash their potential by discovering specific strengths and weaknesses. Communication concepts are introduced through partner challenges and problem-solving activities that are seemingly impossible to accomplish, require cooperative efforts of the whole team, and allow for the creativity of multiple solutions.
Adventureworks programs accomplish specific objectives, using interactive group exercises, problem-solving challenges, facilitated discussions, group and individual reflection, feedback, ropes courses (also called "challenge ropes courses" or "challenge courses"), and personality profiles (including DiSC and Myers-Briggs Type Inventory).
Adventureworks offers executive leadership development, team development, effective communication skills workshops, diversity training, strategic planning, vision building, and conflict resolution facilitation. Workshops provide essential training and development that is firmly rooted in experiential, interactive methodologies.
Leadership training provides dynamic, interactive training where leaders learn about themselves as they learn to lead more effectively. Leadership sessions create opportunities to examine leadership and followership styles, give and receive productive feedback (360 feedback), acquire new leadership tools and strategies, and practice leading a team towards specific objectives.
Adventureworks facilitates vision-building and strategic planning sessions using interactive tools and activities that draw out the energy and creativity of your entire team. Optimize performance and productivity by generating enthusiasm and commitment from the whole team through active participation in setting and achieving group goals.
Synergizer and energizer sessions infuse energy and excitement into group or team meetings or events. Event kick-offs bring people together, strengthen relationships and break down barriers. Adventureworks works with large groups and small groups.

The new adventure park is located conveniently right on Parkway in downtown Sevierville, making it an easy trip for anyone visiting the Smoky Mountain area (Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Forest).
Our corporate scavenger hunts make a great conference activity for groups who are looking for energizers or games to build camaraderie. Our scavenger hunts come in various levels of difficulty and can range from three to six hours.
Educational teambuilding services include team building, in-services for teachers and faculty, leadership programs for students, adventure-based counseling for youth-at-risk, and challenging field trips for the entire school. Programs can be administered at our adventurepark or on site.
