Clinical Best Practices for Advanced Dementia Care
August 25, 2015
The number of persons affected with Alzheimer's disease in the United States is projected to increase to approximately 14 million by 2050. Physicians and other clinicians understand that estimating life expectancy in cases of advanced dementia is difficult.
In the following article, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Susan Mitchell, M.D., M.P.H., Senior Scientist and Director of Palliative Care Research at the Institute for Aging Research, explains many of the complications for patients with advanced dementia and why it's important for everyone involved to understand the goals of care. Dr. Mitchell makes a strong argument for advance care planning; calling it the cornerstone of the care of patients with advanced dementia. Learn why providers and patients' health care proxies must share in the decision-making.

Seniors and Their Personal Health Information. What's at Risk?
August 25, 2015
What a recent study tells us about independent seniors and their personal health information
By Bill Burgey, Health Care Marketing Communications Manager
We like to think that our personal health information is secure and protected. No one wants their health information to fall into the wrong hands.
But what happens when an adult child wants access to the health information of their elderly parent?
In a recent study, completed by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center with residents at Hebrew SeniorLife independent living communities, it was found that independent seniors don't like losing control of their decision-making abilities and wished to maintain control of their health information. Researchers found that the driving force behind this line of thinking is that sharing access with adult children would increase their children's anxiety and burden them with the problems of their parents. Some adult children may disagree, feeling that the stress of not knowing a parent's health status is a heavier burden than if they were clued in and could help relieve mom or dad's stress by pitching in as a family caregiver.
Can adult children and their parents agree on when sharing access to personal health information should be permitted? I think of my own parents who didn't always agree on what information to share with me. Maybe they didn't want to cause anxiety. I know they were not trying to be "difficult."
Maybe, as the study discovered, "fluidity" is the key. It's not about turning over all information at once, but about weighing each situation and making a decision about sharing health information on a case-by-case basis. Seniors interviewed for the study felt overall that if health information must eventually be shared with adult children, it should happen gradually.
Because preferences change over time and the information a senior decides to share today may be different from what he or she shares in the future, we can hope that tools, like online portals that allow seniors to invite family members into their care, will accommodate everyone's needs.
After all, a son or daughter with good intentions can be his or her parent's best advocate.
A Case for Culture Change in Long-Term Care
August 25, 2015
Hebrew Rehabilitation Center has successfully shifted its culture toward one in which residents have more choice and control over their daily activities. This case study, published by Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute, describes how, despite an older building, HRC leaders build trust, strengthen core communication skills, and engage their staff in putting a person-centered vision into practice. What can other long term-care facilities learn from HRC?

Meet Rabbi Amy E. Goodman Rabbinic Director, Hebrew SeniorLife Hospice Care
August 25, 2015
By Bill Burgey, Health Care Marketing Communications Manager
I sat down with Rabbi Amy Goodman during her first week as Rabbinic Director for Hebrew SeniorLife Hospice Care. She hopes that this Q&A will help her engage with health care professionals throughout Greater Boston and encourages you to reach out to her and schedule a time to meet to continue the conversation. Contact Rabbi Goodman at email@example.com or (781) 234-9950.
Q: What brings you to Hebrew SeniorLife?
A: I am very excited to join the Hebrew SeniorLife community as Rabbinic Director of HSL's Hospice Care. This position is a beautiful marriage of my experience in non-profit management and education, and community outreach. I'm passionate about providing pastoral care at the end of life and in the context of advanced illness.
Q: Are you relocating?
A: It is quite a homecoming for me; I am relocating back to Metro Boston having spent the last seven years studying and working in New York City.
Q: Where did you work before coming to Hebrew SeniorLife?
A: I was the Associate Director of Development for the Metropolitan Jewish Health System Foundation in New York City for the past two years. In that position, I engaged with our hospice patients and their families in their desire to share their gratitude and to support our hospice and palliative care programs.
Q: Can you share a little about your education and background?
A: I received rabbinic ordination through Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (New York) and served for two years as rabbinic intern at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan as part of their Palliative Medicine Service. I also served as rabbinic intern at Zicklin Jewish Hospice Residence in Riverdale (Bronx), New York. I held various chaplain and rabbinic internships at congregations and in hospitals in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Long Island and Queens, New York.
Q: What goals do you have for your new position at Hebrew SeniorLife Hospice Care?
A: My short-term goals are to help grow the number of individuals with advanced and terminal illness who are receiving care from our hospice program. I think that we are in a critical position to change the conversation in our community about advancing age, and empowering patients and their families to make choices that match their values, goals for care, and wishes in the face of advanced and terminal illness.
My long-term goals are to help change the entire conversation we are having about hospice and care in the face of serious illness and increase the impact HSL Hospice has on the Greater Boston region.
This impact is both in the number of patients to whom we provide hospice care and in our reach into the community. Through education and counseling I hope to help people in our Boston community discover what their personal choices are for care at the end of life, and what options are available to them among and within hospice providers. We are in the best position to provide the right care, in the right setting, at the right time when patients and their families know what their wishes are.
Q: What are your first impressions of HSL?
A: I have been overwhelmed by my welcome and the number of people who greeted me with a smile, a hug and an outpouring of excitement. And more than one person told me: "I was told to come meet you." I am so grateful for the warmth. This is the warmth and openness that I have observed my colleagues throughout Hebrew SeniorLife sharing with our patients, residents and their family members. So I guess it means I'm already a full-member of the HSL community!
Q: What words of encouragement can you offer to someone who is struggling with a major decision about hospice care?
A: Think for a moment – if you were told you had only a short time to live, with whom, where and how would you like to spend your time? If you had a serious illness, would this change your answer? Conversations about receiving hospice care are really conversations about how you want to live your life. None of us can live forever, and given our limitations there may be wishes that are unable to be fulfilled. But if remaining in the place you call home, spending more time with family and friends, and living free from pain and discomfort are your goals, hospice care can help you achieve all of those.
I would also encourage families to have discussions about care in the face of advanced illness even before you are facing illness. Talking about hospice and advanced care options can be really instructive in determining how you would like to receive care. And just because you talk about it doesn't mean you are signing up!
Jewish Family & Children's Service Transfers Home Care Services to Hebrew SeniorLife
May 6, 2015
Executive Director Idriz Limaj talks with Jennifer Davis, HSL Director of Marketing Communications, about what this means for the future of HSL Home Care.
Why did Jewish Family and Children's Service (JF&CS) transfer its VNA and home care programs to Hebrew SeniorLife?
With the backdrop of change in all areas of health care, including the realignment of providers to promote better management of the continuum of patient care, JF&CS decided to proactively pursue the transfer of VNA and home care programs to another like-minded organization. JF&CS leadership identified HSL as an organization that shares their values and could be counted on to continue their commitment to their patients, employees and community. Given the depth and breadth of our clinical services and strong reputation in the Jewish and Russian communities, they felt confident that the transfer serves both organizations and the community well.
Why was HSL interested in taking on new services at this time?
Because we share a similar mission and goals, we felt comfortable partnering with JF&CS to ensure that the services they had been providing to seniors in their service area would continue. At the same time, this opportunity allowed us to expand our coverage area to include more neighborhoods in the Greater Boston area, enhance our presence in Brookline, and add Russian-speaking staff. This move is in line with HSL's emphasis on developing services that deliver health care to seniors where they live – providing the best care in the best place. Also, the addition of the Aging Services Access Points (ASAP) contract is compatible with HSL's mission, which states that "we accept special responsibility for the frailest and neediest members of our community who are most dependent on our care."
What does this transfer mean for HSL Home Care services?
This move represents an expansion of HSL's medical and private home care services both programmatically and geographically.
- Transfer of services expands the HSL service area to include Dorchester, Roxbury, Belmont, Arlington, Wellesley and a larger percentage of Brookline.
- Additional services include ASAP (Aging Services Access Points) non-clinical personal care and expanded diabetes care. The ASAP contract is very much in keeping with HSL's mission to meet the needs of all seniors, regardless of income.
- Additional reimbursement contracts increases accessibility to HSL Home Care services for more seniors in the Greater Boston area.
- Russian speaking care providers are now on the HSL Home Care staff.
What does this transfer mean for patients and their families?
Continuity of care should feel seamless as the result of close ties between JF&CS and HSL, as well as our shared commitment to provide high quality care so those we serve can maintain independence in their own homes. We worked hard to ensure that all existing patients would continue to see the same care givers. Almost all of JF&CS's VNA and home care services staff have joined HSL. Home care also represents an access point to HSL's continuum offering better coordination of care should patients need additional services.
What are the benefits of the transfer of services to HSL's referral sources?
Health care professionals who refer patients to home care will continue getting the services they are used to getting from JF&CS, but with addition of new programs, and access to more rehabilitation care offered by HSL. Our comprehensive continuum of services offers the opportunity for enhanced care coordination and better transition management for patients from one environment or service to another. In addition, the transfer of JF&CS's home care services to HSL has expanded our coverage area, as well as insurance contracts so we can now serve more of our referral sources' clients in more towns.
What do you see as the future for HSL Home Care services?
I look forward to adding more services to HSL Home Care including:
- More specialized programming and refinement of existing programs such as our orthopedic and diabetes programs to better meet the needs of future patients
- Introduction of community-based palliative care
- Improved care coordination
- Expanded coverage area
- Partnerships with other organizations, ACOs, hospitals, and other home care groups
- Partnerships with ASAPs to help patients stay at home
Hebrew SeniorLife Takes Part in Alzheimer's Symposium at Harvard College
May 6, 2015
By Elaine Abrams, Program Manager, Alzheimer's & Dementia Care at Hebrew Senior Life
Hebrew SeniorLife once again teamed with the Harvard College Alzheimer's Buddies (HCAB) to sponsor the second HCAB Interdisciplinary Symposium on Alzheimer's Disease, which took place on Saturday, April 18, 2015 at Harvard College. The symposium was hosted by Meredith Vieira, producer of The Meredith Vieira Show and former co-host of NBC News' Today show. Vieira's father and brother were both afflicted by Alzheimer's disease and she remains a vocal advocate for increasing awareness about the disease.
Harvard sophomore and HCAB Co-Director, Ioana Dobre, was this year's Symposium director.
"By holding this symposium on Alzheimer's, our goal is to facilitate dialogue among members of our student body and the greater community about the need to be involved," noted Dobre. "After all, they are our nation's future caregivers."
The event, which was attended by over 130 clinicians, educators, students and disease advocates, also included several Hebrew SeniorLife staff members. Mary Moscato, President, HSL Health Care Services and Hebrew Rehabilitation Center, delivered opening remarks, noting the organization's most recent dementia care initiatives.
"As we await treatment breakthroughs, we are mindful of the need for quality, evidence-based programming and services focusing on achieving optimal quality of life for our residents with dementia and their caregivers," said Moscato.
The first keynote address was delivered by Dr. Sumer Verma, Medical Director at Briarwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Verma spoke candidly about the need for medical schools to be more proactive in providing students with adequate preparation to care for aging adults with neurocognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.
Governor Charlie Baker delivered the second keynote address, focusing on his deeply personal family struggle with Alzheimer's disease. He spoke eloquently about his mother's slow, steady decline and of watching his father transform from husband to caregiver. Baker also emphasized the important role of Hebrew SeniorLife, noting that from his earliest time in state government to the present, the organization continues its efforts to be an innovative leader in its approach to the care of aging adults, including those with dementia.
The symposium also included several workshops on topics ranging from the role of art and music to student research projects. Dr. Ruth Kandel, a geriatrician with the Hebrew SeniorLife Medical Group and HCAB faculty advisor, facilitated a workshop on the importance of recognizing behaviors as a form of communication when caring for adults with dementia.
"Participants seemed to find listening to the personal stories about the impact of dementia on both the caregiver and their families especially meaningful," said Kandel.
Established in 2011, HCAB is a student-run undergraduate organization that partners with Hebrew SeniorLife each semester to address the isolation that residents with dementia face by building meaningful connections through weekly one-on-one visits at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston. HCAB not only seeks to teach students about both the fragility and strength of human connections, but also empower them to become a new generation of advocates for those affected by dementia.
A Healthy Dialogue Between Health Care Executive Leadership and Mayor Martin Walsh
May 6, 2015
By Mary Moscato, President of Hebrew SeniorLife Health Care Services and Hebrew Rehabilitation Center (HRC)
As Mayor of Boston, Martin Walsh has identified "a healthy Boston" as one of his top priorities. To achieve this goal, he says it is critical that his Administration works closely with executive leaders of Boston's hospitals and health care organizations.
I was pleased to recieve an invitation from Mayor Walsh to join him and other hospital executives for a meeting on March 31 to share an open dialogue regarding the Mayor's priorities for hospitals, housing and jobs.
Boston has many exceptional hospitals, doctors and medical personnel. It was such an honor to represent the doctors, clinicians and staff from Hebrew Rehabilitation Center and HSL's health care services at this meeting. When the Mayor includes HRC in discussions about the future of Boston, it demonstrates the important contributions we are making to this great city.
While HRC offers so much to seniors and their families in neighborhoods all across the city, it was enlightening to learn how we can strengthen our ties with others to continue to serve our neighbors.
I think it's safe to say that we are all in this together. We all want Boston's residents to live healthy lives.
Our first meeting was a great start to achieving great things. The partnerships and opportunities in front of us will help the conversations continue. I intend to include more staff from HRC in future meetings with the Mayor and his Administration.
Every hospital and health care organization has a responsibility to do its part to make Boston healthy. For HRC, it could mean creating opportunities for Boston's youth. I see great things developing if we can get some of Boston's young people involved in our multi-generational programs that take place at HRC. These are conversations I plan to have to see where we can take this.
It's important for Boston and it's important for our future.
Hebrew SeniorLife's Community Outreach Manager Discusses Role
May 6, 2015
Hebrew SeniorLife Community Outreach Manager Steven Friedman spoke with HSL Communication Specialist Bill Burgey for a Q&A to elaborate on the unique qualities of his position.
Can you describe your role?
The majority of my time is spent outside of my office meeting with health care professionals. I am in communities around all of Hebrew SeniorLife's locations helping to educate physicians, staff in assisted living and long-term care facilities, geriatric care managers, those who work in councils on aging, and in senior housing sites. Hebrew SeniorLife offers a full continuum of care, and I enjoy helping professionals navigate the HSL system. After explaining our continuum of care, I put the professional in contact with the right person at HSL. Simply stated, I make connections and bring people together!
What is the most exciting part of your job?
Each day creates a new opportunity and a different set of challenges. I like challenges.
I can be on the road talking to a group about HSL Home Care or HSL Hospice Care at the start of the day, and at 2:00 p.m. I'm discussing the benefits of our Adult Day Health Programs with another group of professionals. Educating people is what drives me. Someone always leaves knowing more about what HSL has to offer after meeting with me.
What has your professional experience taught you?
The majority of my experience has been as a pharmaceutical representative servicing and educating physicians. My background also includes educating the senior population about the benefits of health insurance and hospice benefits. My affinity to senior care has always been a key part of who I am. Having cared for many of my senior family members, I've learned what's important to them, and this experience has had a direct impact on me professionally.
What attracted you to HSL?
HSL has an amazing reputation. It was my desire to align myself with an organization that strives for excellence. I'm fortunate to work with such a professional and highly respected group, it makes my job so rewarding.
What is the best way to reach you?
Professionals can call me on my cell at 617-285-9775 or send an email to email@example.com. It's that easy.
A Shared Vision: A Discussion with New Members of the HRC Leadership Team
January 8, 2015
Byline: Bill Burgey, Communication Specialist at Hebrew SeniorLife
Hebrew SeniorLife recently announced two new appointments to its leadership team.
Scott Ariel (photo right) was named Executive Director of Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Dedham, located at Hebrew SeniorLife's NewBridge on the Charles. From 2008 to 2012, Scott was Vice President of Post Acute and Support Services at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston.
Matthew Russell, M.D. (photo left), was named Medical Director for Hebrew Rehabilitation Center's Rehabilitative Services Units in Dedham and Boston. Prior to joining HSL, Dr. Russell was an assistant professor of Medicine in the Geriatrics section at Boston University and Boston Medical Center. He was also the founding medical director of the Boston University Physician Assistant program. A native Bostonian, he is new to HSL.
I had the opportunity to meet with Scott Ariel and Dr. Russell and learn what each of them brings to their roles and what plans they have for 2015.
Coinciding with Scott's return, the HRC community in Dedham celebrated its five year anniversary. Scott was instrumental in bringing staff and residents together for this special event. It was timed perfectly to help with one of Scott's priorities: to get to know the team and for the team to get to know him.
Scott will work with staff to cultivate an environment where each team member feels personally responsible for the welfare of all patients, residents, volunteers and visitors. "The 5 year anniversary celebration was a great starting point. I know I am working with staff that care very much how we care for the people who need our help," says Scott.
"The programs we offer our residents are extraordinary. I think the multigenerational programming makes us stand out in a very powerful way. I've already observed the students from the Rashi School and our seniors engaged in some very creative activities together. From concerts to storytelling, they share laughter and the seniors look forward to the students' next visit."
Scott is responsible for the day-to-day operations and for providing leadership for all staff at HRC in Dedham. He works closely with staff in long-term and post acute care.
Dr. Russell's role on the Rehabilitative Services Units combines his skills in patient care and administration. "When I hit the ten-year mark out of training earlier this year, I decided to focus on my primary passion: taking care of older patients in a team-based setting. HSL is world famous for its excellence in clinical care as well as research, and I wanted to be part of this exciting organization," says Dr. Russell.
"Here I work with a group of professionals who come to work and know their patients inside and out. The quality of care and communication across the various disciplines is outstanding. If there were one thing I want the Greater Boston health care community to know about HRC, it is that the quality teamwork and patient care that our patients receive is far above what is seen in most skilled nursing facilities."
The Rehabilitative Services Units at HRC are licensed as skilled nursing facilities (SNF) and treat patients following a serious illness or surgery. According to Dr. Russell, "Post acute care patients are complex. Medical issues are often still active and require close monitoring. This calls for a well-integrated team of clinicians that can identify all the challenges and manage them over the course of the patient's rehab stay. I call this 'team-based medicine in motion.' As the new Medical Director, I'm so thrilled to be part so of such a competent team."
Dr. Russell and Scott are excited to be at HSL. "As health care reform and cost containment approaches dominate the health care landscape, organizations are seeking partnerships to reduce waste, improve communication and optimize transitions of care. There will likely be additional partnerships between HSL and our referring hospitals," predicts Dr. Russell.
Scott Ariel hopes to see more prospective residents and their families visiting the campus to help them with their decisions about long-term care. "Making a decision about long-term care is difficult. I want families who are dealing with this issue to feel comfortable visiting us to see all we have to offer and what we are doing to help seniors live their best lives."
About Long-Term Care at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center
We take pride in providing seniors with long-term care that redefines the nursing home experience. The basic tenet of care in Hebrew Rehabilitation Center's nursing home long-term care communities is that resident preferences come first. Our vision for long-term care emphasizes the dignity, health and independence of seniors. Our innovative programming—along with a dedicated staff of Harvard Medical School-affiliated physicians, geriatric specialists, nurses and more—can be experienced in three communities in Massachusetts: Hebrew Rehabilitation Center Boston, Hebrew Rehabilitation Center Dedham at NewBridge on the Charles, and long-term care at Orchard Cove in Canton. We welcome older adults of all backgrounds, faiths and cultures.

Love the Community. The Maintenance staff is amazing , very quick to respond. and the office staff is amazing, always eager to help .. Amazing place to live
Aug 26, 2015
Its an awesome complex. To counter that 1star review, I lived on the 1st and 2nd floor, the walls and ceilings are not thin at all, and the complex is never dirty, there is a staff that picks up trash rain or shine cold weather or hot weather, so clean is an understatement. I was late on rent once and they gave me the chance to bring it in late w/o penalty. Just like any business exchange, money is supposed to be collected and fees are supposed to be billed when necessary but it is hard to please everyone, so its understandable for there to be at least 1 unhappy customer. Please come and look for yourself!! - That person is full of S**t - verification that I am not an employee .. hahaha To follow up: I have been living here for over 2 years and the staff is definitely accommodating. To be frank, Charles, the head of Maintenance is a gem, very caring and on top of anything and everything. Moustafa is definitely also a great team member, always seeming to work hard and be helpful, the whole staff is great. Ihave had issues and they have never failed on providing solutions. I am moving to MD to shorten my commute, but this place has been nothing but peace, comfort, and served its purpose as my home for the past few years.

Since I have been living here in Woodway Apartments for nearly ten years, I was asked if I could write a review. This is a forum for airing one's complaints, so here goes. The apartments are clean, modern and spacious. The kitchen and bathrooms are bright and equipped with all the modern amenities. There are also garages available on the premises in case you don't want to expose your Aston Martin to winter snow and summer heat. If you prefer to live in an old cramped dump, you won't like it here. The grounds are immaculately kept. There is a jogging trail, an outdoor workout circuit, a doggie park, basketball courts, a kiddie playground, a barbecue/picnic area, and enough space to play some serious frisbee. There is also a swimming pool and a well-equipped gym; in fact this is the best gym I've seen in any apartment and it's better than what you find in most condo/townhome complexes. There is also a projection TV room in the clubhouse, with cinema seating where you can bring your family and friends to watch the Nats lose or view your favorite DVD. If you prefer to live in a cave, you won't like it here. Members of the maintenance staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Most problems are fixed within hours of being reported. If you have a maintenance issue, you can either report it by phone or in person. But be warned that if you choose to report it in person, you risk being greeted by cheerful, smiling attendants who are too eager to keep you happy. If you prefer rude staff who ignore your complaints, this is not the place for you. It's a pleasant walk from here to Lifetime Fitness, Trader Joe's, Giant, several restaurants, and dozens of other stores. You also have convenient access to Rt 28 and Rt 66, which are traffic-free every Sunday morning at 4AM. If you prefer to live in the middle of nowhere, try another location. It gets cold in the winter. It gets hot and humid in the summer. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it snows. If you prefer to live in paradise, I recommend Hawaii. But if you must live in Northern Virginia, this is the place to be.

I've been at this apartment complex for the past 5 months and absolutely love it. Cindy Cosic was the leasing consultant that assist with the leasing of the apartment. She was nice and professional. She was happy to answer all my questions. Anytime I've had any service requests, the staff has been super fast in responding. I love that they have an online service request system. This helps with submitting requests after hours when the leasing office is closed. The property owners are really good at keeping the community in awesome shape, especially during snowy weather. If you're looking for a pleasant place to live with a dedicated staff to take care of you, then look no further because your home.

Paradox seems to rule
I think we get it backwards,
well perhaps it is I who does,
for in the inner life
paradox seems to rule,
and its fruits show in our lives.
To cling is to lose,
to seek to force our way
is to be defeated in the end.
Control or the attempt
to hedge in those we love,
ends in defeat in one form or another,
and violence and revenge,
lead to further destruction.
There is a death we are called to,
a way that is not obvious,
yet those who take it
experience fuller life
and deeper joy
than they once thought possible.

I like to help, and like a challenge. Day to day, I'm doing interesting stuff with java, sql, maven, with focus on testability. In former lives, I have done Win32, COM, C++, assembler M68000 (Amiga demos).
I've had queries about my username. The reason is quite humdrum. It originated from sysadmins at uni - they took each person's initials and added a final letter to ensure uniqueness. It raises the odd eyebrow, so I've kept it.

Students participated in band rehearsals, sectionals, jazz band, master classes, marching classes, instrumental ensembles, and recreational activities, including an evening outing to Wild River Country. Bands are featured in concert on the final day of camp.

The Right of Education for Women in Pakistan
Education has been of central significance to the development of human society, and Women are an integral part of the society, culture, family and most importantly, a nation. In order for a woman to excel in all these spheres, she needs to be exposed to quality education. Sadly to say this is not being carried out in Pakistan due to a number of reasons. One reason is that women in rural Pakistan are expected to fulfill household duties and rearing the children. Another reason is that some women in Pakistan face many cultural obstacles. Many places in rural Pakistan are suffering from extreme poverty and therefore, cannot fund for education facilities.
Women are mainly assigned the role of homemaking and childbearing. Due to an increasing reproduction rate in Pakistan, each family has multiple children that need to be constantly cared for. The principal concerns are running the home and maintaining cohesion among family members. Among rural female activities will also include collecting fodder, milking, churning and tending of animals. She will also assist in planting and harvesting of crops. In most cases, however, as the man becomes more financially stable, his first act is to confine the women to the house.
"It is thought 'natural' that a woman's place is in the house and that she has a very specific set of tasks which are thought to be universal because they are based on the biological imperatives of gender. The most important role of women, defining their entire life is the bearing and bringing up of children. A man, on the other hand, is seen as the natural 'head of the family', its representative in the outside world" (Akhtar, P.1).
Another reason is when the parents have to choose between their son or daughter education, they always prefer their sons education. In rural areas the rigid cultural patterns and the conservative attitude of the family...

Exceptional drought covers 10.81 percent of the state, compared with 3.25 percent in the previous week's U.S. Drought Monitor map. The most intense drought covers all of Conway and Perry counties, most of Pope County and parts of Faulkner and a few other counties.
"Blister beetles and grasshoppers are looking for what little green is left here," said Phil Sims, Pope County extension staff chair for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. "That means row crops under irrigation."
Sims has seen hordes of blister beetles nearly carpeting row crops; scurrying under short soybean plants in search of food and moisture. Blister beetles are a scourge to some livestock owners -- they are toxic to horses.
Grasshoppers are also a problem. Kelly Loftin, extension entomologist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, said he's been fielding questions about grasshoppers for about six weeks now.
"At the University of Arkansas farm at Savoy, grass is sparse," he said. "All the grasshoppers are on the fence line just waiting for the grass to grow. And because it's so dry, fungal pathogens don't do so well, which is limiting natural control of grasshoppers."
They're also harder to kill with pesticides. "The best time to control grasshoppers would be the time period when they're still nymphs and they can't fly long distances," Loftin said. "When they're big adults, they're more mobile and harder to control."
However, nature didn't give grasshoppers all the cards.
"Blister beetle larvae eat grasshopper eggs," he said, adding that the drought-hardened ground has forced the grasshoppers to lay eggs above the soil, leaving them and unprotected.

Ancient Babylonian Medicine: Theory and Practice
Copyright © 2010 Markham J. Geller
Author(s): Markham J. Geller
Print ISBN: 9781405126526
Online ISBN: 9781444319996
"Ancient Babylonian Medicineis an important and fascinating book which not only provides a much needed introduction to the theory and practice of medicine in ancient Mesopotamia but also makes a significant contribution to the study of ancient Mesopotamian scholarship. It is clearly and elegantly written, nicely illustrated, and well produced." (Aestimatio, 1 June 2013)"This book is a rare achievement: as a scholarly work, it provides an important addition to the history of medicine; for the general reader, it is a fascinating introduction to the theory and practice of medicine in Mesopotamian society." (Antiquity Reviews, 2011)
"In sum, Geller has written a remarkably useful and thoughtful volume on what is an elusive topic. Assyriologists and historians of medicine will gain much from reading this work and it will certainly become required reading for the discipline." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 19 August 2011)
"Markham J. Geller brings a welcome, dual expertise now rather rare in medical history (he is an MD as well as a Rabbi and Professor of Semitic Languages), and some of his previous studies of Talmudic texts led him to the discovery of medical loan-words that turned out to be embedded Akka-dian dating from the period known as the "Babylonian Captivity". (Times Literary Supplement, 21 January 2011)
"He appends a commentary probably composed by the Uruk scholar Iqisa, who flourished in the latter part of the fourth century BC; the transcription, and possibly the translation, is from a 1924 edition by Campbell Thompson." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)

The next BriefingsDirect IT leadership discussion focuses on how global telecommunications giant AT&T has created advanced cloud services for its business customers. We'll see how AT&T has developed the ability to provide virtual private clouds and other computing capabilities as integrated services at scale.
To learn more about implementing cloud technology to deliver and commercialize an adaptive and reliable cloud services ecosystem, we sat down with Chris Costello, Assistant Vice President of AT&T Cloud Services. The interview was conducted by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Disclosure: VMware is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: Why are business cloud services such an important initiative for you?
Costello: AT&T has been in the hosting business for over 15 years, and so it was only a natural extension for us to get into the cloud services business to evolve with customers' changing business demands and technology needs.
We have cloud services in several areas. The first is our AT&T Synaptic Compute as a Service. This is a hybrid cloud that allows VMware clients to extend their private clouds into AT&T's network-based cloud using a virtual private network (VPN). And it melds the security and performance of VPN with the economics and flexibility of a public cloud. So the service is optimized for VMware's more than 350,000 clients.CIO, CTO & Developer Resources
If you look at customers who have internal clouds today or private data centers, they like the control, the security, and the leverage that they have, but they really want the best of both worlds. There are certain workloads where they want to burst into a service provider's cloud.
We give them that flexibility, agility, and control, where they can simply point and click, using free downloadable tools from VMware, to instantly turn up workloads into AT&T's cloud.
Another capability that we have in this space is AT&T Platform as a Service. This is targeted primarily to independent software vendors (ISVs), IT leaders, and line-of-business managers. It allows customers to choose from 50 pre-built applications, instantly mobilize those applications, and run them in AT&T's cloud, all without having to write a single line of code.
So we're really starting to get into more of the informal buyers, those line-of-business managers, and IT managers who don't have the budget to build it all themselves, or don't have the budget to buy expensive software licenses for certain application environments.
Examples of some of the applications that we support with our platform as a service (PaaS) are things like salesforce automation, quote and proposal tools, and budget management tools.
Storage space
The third key category of AT&T's Cloud Services is in the storage space. We have our AT&T Synaptic Storage as a Service, and this gives customers control over storage, distribution, and retrieval of their data, on the go, using any web-enabled device. In a little bit, I can get into some detail on use cases of how customers are using our cloud services.
This is a very important initiative for AT&T. We're seeing customer demand of all shapes and sizes. We have a sizable business and effort supporting our small- to medium-sized business (SMB) customers, and we have capabilities that we have tailor-developed just to reach those markets.
As an example, in SMB, it's all about the bundle. It's all about simplicity. It's all about on demand. And it's all about pay per use and having a service provider they can trust.
It's all about simplicity. It's all about on demand.
In the enterprise space, you really start getting into detailed discussions around security. You also start getting into discussions with many customers who already have private networking solutions from AT&T that they trust. When you start talking with clients around the fact that they can run a workload, turn up a server in the cloud, behind their firewall, it really resonates with CIOs that we're speaking with in the enterprise space.
Also in enterprises, it's about having a globally consistent experience. So as these customers are reaching new markets, it's all about not having to stand up an additional data center, compute instance, or what have you, and having a very consistent experience, no matter where they do business, anywhere in the world.
New era for women in tech
Gardner: The fact is that a significant majority of CIOs and IT executives are men, and that's been the case for quite some time. But I'm curious, does cloud computing and the accompanying shift towards IT becoming more of a services brokering role change that? Do you think that with the consensus building among businesses and partner groups being more important in that brokering role, this might bring in a new era for women in tech?
Costello: I think it is a new era for women in tech. Specifically to my experience in working at AT&T in technology, this company has really provided me with an opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.
I currently lead our Cloud Office at AT&T and, prior to that, ran AT&T's global managed hosting business across our 38 data centers. I was also lucky enough to be chosen as one of the top women in wireline services.
The key to success of being a woman working in technology is being able to build offers that solve customers' business problem.
What drives me as a woman in technology is that I enjoy the challenge of creating offers that meet customer needs, whether they be in the cloud space, things like driving eCommerce, high performance computing environment, or disaster recovery (DR) solutions.
I love spending time with customers. That's my favorite thing to do. I also like to interact with many partners and vendors that I work with to stay current on trends and technologies. The key to success of being a woman working in technology is being able to build offers that solve customers' business problem, number one.
Number two is being able to then articulate the value of a lot of the complexity around some of these solutions, and package the value in a way that's very simple for customers to understand.
Some of the challenge and also opportunity of the future is that, as technology continues to evolve, it's about reducing complexity for customers and making the service experience seamless. The trend is to deliver more and more finished services, versus complex infrastructure solutions.
I've had the opportunity to interact with many women in leadership, whether they be my peer group, managers that work as a part of my team, and/or mentors that I have within AT&T that are senior leaders within the business.
I also mentor three women at AT&T, whether they be in technology, sales, or an operations role. So I'm starting to see this trend continue to grow.
It enables us to deliver a mobile cloud as well. That helps customers to transform their businesses.
Gardner: You have a lot of customers who are already using your business network services. I imagine there are probably some good cost-efficiencies in moving them to cloud services as well.
Costello: Absolutely. We've embedded cloud capabilities into the AT&T managed network. It enables us to deliver a mobile cloud as well. That helps customers to transform their businesses. We're delivering cloud services in the same manner as voice and data services, intelligently routed across our highly secure, reliable network.
AT&T's cloud is not sitting on top of or attached to our network, but it's fully integrated to provide customers a seamless, highly secure, low-latency, and high-performing experience.
Gardner: Why did you chose VMware and vCloud Datacenter Services as a core to the AT&T Synaptic Compute as a Service?
Multiple uses
Costello: AT&T uses VMware in several of our hosting application and cloud solutions today. In the case of AT&T Synaptic Compute as a Service, we use that in several ways, both to serve customers in public cloud and hybrid, as well as private cloud solutions.
We've also been using VMware technology for a number of years in AT&T's Synaptic Hosting offer, which is our enterprise-grade utility computing service. We've also been serving customers with server virtualization solutions available in AT&T data centers around the world and also can be extended into customer or third-party locations.
Just to drill down on some of the key differentiators of AT&T Synaptic Compute as a Service, it's two-fold.
One is that we integrate with AT&T private networking solutions. Some of the benefits that customers enjoy as a result of that are orchestration of resources, where we'll take the amount of compute storage and networking resources and provide the exact amount of resources at the exact right time to customers on-demand.
Our solutions offer enterprise-grade security. The fact that we've integrated our AT&T Synaptic Compute as a Service with private networking solution allows customers to extend their cloud into our network using VPN.
An engineering firm can now perform complex mathematical computations and extend from their private cloud into AT&T's hybrid solution instantaneously, using their native VMware toolset.
Let me touch upon VMware vCloud Datacenter Services for a minute. We think that's another key differentiator for us, in that we can allow clients to seamlessly move workloads to our cloud using native VMware toolsets. Essentially, we're taking technical complexity and interoperability challenges off the table.
With the vCloud Datacenter program that we are part of with VMware, we're letting customers have access to copy and paste workloads and to see all of their virtual machines, whether it be in their own private cloud environment or in a hybrid solution provided by AT&T. Providing that seamless access to view all of their virtual machines and manage those through single interface is key in reducing technical complexity and speeding time to market.
We've been doing business with VMware for a number of years. We also have a utility-computing platform called AT&T Synaptic Hosting. We learned early on, in working with customers' managed utility computing environments, that VMware was the virtualization tool of choice for many of our enterprise customers.
As technologies evolved over time and cloud technologies have become more prevalent, it was absolutely paramount for us to pick a virtualization partner that was going to provide the global scale that we needed to serve our enterprise customers, and to be able to handle the large amount of volume that we receive, given the fact that we have been in the hosting business for over 15 years.
As a natural extension of our Synaptic Hosting relationship with VMware for many years, it only made sense that we joined the VMware vCloud Datacenter program. VMware is baked into our Synaptic Compute as a Service capability. And it really lets customers have a simplified hybrid cloud experience. In five simple steps, customers can move workloads from their private environment into AT&T's cloud environment.
Think that you are the IT manager and you are coming into start your workday. All of a sudden, you hit 85 percent utilization in your environment, but you want to very easily access additional resources from AT&T. You can use the same console that you use to perform your daily job for the data center that you run in-house.
In five clicks, you're viewing your in-house private-cloud resources that are VMware based and your AT&T virtual machines (VMs) running in AT&T's cloud, our Synaptic Compute as a Service capability. That all happens in minutes' time.
Gardner: I should also think that the concepts around the software-defined datacenter and software-defined networking play a part in this. Is that something you are focused on?
If we start with enterprise, the security aspects of the solution had to prove out for the customers that we do business with.
Costello: Software-defined datacenter and software-defined networks are essentially what we're talking about here with some uniqueness that AT&T Labs has built within our networking solutions. We essentially take our edge, our edge routers, and the benefits that are associated with AT&T networking solutions around redundancy, quality of service, etc., and extend that into cloud solutions, so customers can extend their cloud into our network using VPN solutions.
Added efficiency
Previously many customers would have to buy a router and try to pull together a solution on their own. It can be costly and time consuming. There's a whole lot of efficiency that comes with having a service provider being able to manage your compute storage and networking capabilities end to end.
Global scale was also very critical to the customers who we've been talking to. The fact that AT&T has localized and distributed resources through a combination of our 38 data centers around the world, as well as central offices, makes it very attractive to do business with AT&T as a service provider.
Gardner: We've certainly seen a lot of interest in hybrid cloud. Is that one of the more popular use cases?
We see a lot of customers looking for a more efficient way to be able to have business continuity, have the ability to fail over in the event of a disaster
Costello: I speak with a lot of customers who are looking to be able to virtually expand. They have data-center, systems, and application investments and they have global headquarters locations, but they don't want to have to stand up another data center and/or virtually expand and/or ship staff out to other location. So certainly one use case that's very popular with customers is, "I can expand my virtual data-center environment and use AT&T as a service provider to help me to do that."
Another use case that's very popular with our customers is disaster recovery. We see a lot of customers looking for a more efficient way to be able to have business continuity, have the ability to fail over in the event of a disaster, and also get in and test their plans more frequently than they're doing today.
For many of the solutions that are in place today, clients are saying they are expensive and/or they're just not meeting their service-level agreements (SLAs) to their business unit. One of the solutions that we recently put in place for a client is that we put them in two of AT&T's geographically diverse data centers. We wrapped it with AT&T's private-networking capability and then we solutioned our AT&T Synaptic Compute as a Service and Storage as a Service.
The customer ended up with a better SLA and a very powerful return on investment (ROI) as well, because they're only paying for the cloud resources when the meter is running. They now have a stable environment so that they can get in and test their plans as often as they'd like to and they're only paying for a very small storage fee in the event that they actually need to invoke in the event of a disaster. So DR plans are very popular.
Another use case that's very popular among our clients is short-term compute. We work with a lot of customers who have massive mathematical calculations and they do a lot of number crunching.
Finally, in the compute space, we're seeing a lot of customers start to hang virtual desktop solutions off of their compute environment. In the past, when I would ask clients about virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), they'd say, "We're looking at it, but we're not sure. It hasn't made the budget list." All of a sudden, it's becoming one of the most highly requested use cases from customers, and AT&T has solutions to cover all those needs.
The fact that we have 38 data centers around the world, a global reach from a networking perspective, and all the foundational cloud capabilities makes a whole lot of sense.
Gardner: Do you think that this will extend to some of the big data and analytics crunching that we've heard about?
Costello: I don't think anyone is in a better position than AT&T to be able to help customers to manage their massive amounts of data, given the fact that a lot of this data has to reside on very strong networking solutions. The fact that we have 38 data centers around the world, a global reach from a networking perspective, and all the foundational cloud capabilities makes a whole lot of sense.
Speaking about this type of a "bursty" use case, we host some of the largest brand name retailers in the world. When you think about it, a lot of these retailers are preparing for the holidays, and their servers are going underutilized much of year. So how attractive is it to be able to look at AT&T, as a service provider, to provide them robust SLAs and a platform that they only have to pay for when they need to utilize it, versus sitting and going very underutilized much of the year?
We also host many online gaming customers. When you think about the gamers that are out there, there is a big land rush when the buzz occurs right before the launch of a new game. We work very proactively with those gaming customers to help them size their networking needs well in advance of a launch. Also we'll monitor it in real time to ensure that those gamers have a very positive experience when that launch does occur.

Even though Travis d'Arnaud is set to move to Double-A Binghamton to continue rehabbing from his fractured left foot, rumors are starting to fly that he could be considered to replace John Buck on the roster for the next few days. Buck's wife is pregnant and her due date is tomorrow; the catcher is expected to head out on paternity leave when she goes into labor, and he'd be out for three days. Ed Coleman mentioned this on WFAN, and Adam Rubin of ESPN New York also tweeted about this possible move. The thought process is that d'Arnaud is on the 40-man roster, while Triple-A catchers Francisco Pena and Juan Centeno are not. Bringing up d'Arnaud would prolong the 40-man roster questions the Mets would have to answer, but in my eyes, it's just prolonging the inevitable. That is, unless they feel d'Arnaud is close enough to game speed to promote and keep him in the big leagues. I don't see any value in bringing him aboard for three days and shipping him back to the minors just to avoid ...

House OKs UVM tuition change
MONTPELIER The Vermont House has given preliminary approval to repealing a big tuition break for Vermont resident graduate students at the University of Vermont.
UVM officials say they need to remove the requirement that in-state graduate students pay just 40 percent of the tuition paid by nonresidents. Cynthia Belliveau, dean of continuing and distance education, said the school needs to shrink the differential so it can reduce the cost of its online graduate and certificate courses.
The House endorsed the measure Tuesday as part of a wide-ranging bill on miscellaneous education law changes.
Officials say raising tuition for in-state students to levels paid by out-of-staters is not contemplated.
An amendment is expected to be offered that would limit the changes as the bill comes up for final action Wednesday.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new eminent domain hearing will be held at a special City Council meeting today at...

Acucela and Otsuka Pharmaceutical will work together to develop the latter's candidate for glaucoma treatment called OPA-6566 in the U.S. The compound, an adenosine A2a receptor agonist, is currently under preclinical study, with clinical development scheduled to begin next year.
Acucela will perform early clinical development of OPA-6566 in the U.S. and receives an opt-in right to co-develop and co-promote the compound. If Acucela exercises this option, the companies will share development costs and Otsuka will receive a certain amount of the predetermined opt-in fee and milestone payments.
"Over the last few years, Acucela and Otsuka have built a strong strategic partnership to jointly pursue development efforts to deliver two innovative ophthalmologic drugs to patients—Acucela-discovered ACU-4429, being developed for dry age-related macular degeneration, and Otsuka-discovered Rebamipide ophthalmic suspension, being developed for dry eye," states Taro Iwamoto, Ph.D., president of Otsuka Pharmaceutical. Rebamipide and ACU-4429 are both in Phase II trials.
"We are delighted to expand our working relationship with Acucela and underline our newfound resolve to develop OPA-6566 as a novel treatment for patients with glaucoma," Dr. Iwamoto continues. OPA-6566 has a mechanism of action not seen in conventional glaucoma medications, according to the companies. The molecule has demonstrated the ability to lower intraocular pressure by stimulating aqueous humor outflow via trabecular meshwork through an activation of adenosine A2a receptor.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?
