Cancer, Treatment and Detoxification
By Tracy Walton, LMT, MS
Some time ago, a client going through intense chemotherapy treatment asked me if deep massage would help her cleanse the drugs from her system. She had read about a number of liver cleansing protocols that suggested very deep massage to facilitate the process of elimination.Her question touched on a number of issues in the oncology massage world and there were several layers to my response to her. I share my answers here, because the issues are relevant for our many clients in chemotherapy.
The Effects of Massage
In the massage profession, we have learned, read, taught and repeated the belief that massage helps move toxins out of the tissues and out of the body. However, we have not always been clear on which toxins, from which tissues, or through which routes of elimination. Almost any substance in the blood, even a nutrient, can be considered toxic if there is too much of it in the blood or tissues, so our use of the term is ambiguous. I once had a physician on my table that was a huge fan of massage therapy, but told me that the profession's liberal use of the word toxin always made him uncomfortable. Invariably, when he asked a massage therapist what the term meant, he received vague, unsatisfactory answers.
Our use of the word toxin seems to imply a waste product or poison that shouldn't be there. In the realm of chemotherapy, the reagents and products of breakdown are known to be toxic, so at least we are on more definitive ground there. But to my knowledge, there is no solid base of research to support the notion that massage moves toxins out of the tissues. By solid, I mean more than a single study. Instead, to be given serious consideration, we need multiple studies, from multiple investigators, in peer-reviewed publications, reporting similar results on this point.
That said, my client was talking about chemotherapy and wanting to eliminate chemotherapy drugs from her body. These medications and their metabolites do have toxic qualities which is why they are used to destroy tumors.
She was suffering greatly from the effects of these toxins she wanted them gone, period. I told her there wasn't much known about the effects of massage in the toxin department, so I couldn't say whether deep effleurage and petrissage would, in fact, speed it out of her system. I also told her I had other concerns about the detoxification approach, which I have described here.
The Intent of Massage
When we work with clients in chemotherapy, our intent is to ease symptoms and support our clients in integrating and managing the effects of treatment. For this reason, we do not impose additional challenges to the body by working it too hard (MacDonald, 2007). So I told my client that even if we knew for sure that deep massage strokes would chase the drugs out of her system more quickly, we wouldn't necessarily choose that approach.
Instead, it makes more sense to let the body set its own pace of detoxification. The organs of detoxification -- the liver, kidneys and skin -- are busy enough without the potential additional demand of a deep, draining, circulatory massage. I told my client that, even without research or clear understanding about massage and detoxification, this is our rationale for working gently.
Additional support for this gentle approach comes from our clinical observations: When clients in chemotherapy receive deep work, they feel worse, not better, afterward. Whatever the reason for that, deep massage is too much for them. These clinical observations inform our practice much more than any attempt to explain them.
A Good Referral
My client continued to press me about what I thought she should do after chemotherapy. She asked about a number of detoxification protocols involving ingesting large amounts of salt water and other substances. They had to do with cleansing the colon and liver. I listened, but stayed neutral. I told her I couldn't advise her either way, it was out of my scope of practice. I told her she had great questions, but that I thought such practices would be safest if done under the supervision of a naturopathic physician or another physician experienced in natural medicine after chemotherapy. And I urged her to raise her questions with her doctor and chemotherapy nurse.
These referrals gave her somewhere to go with her questions and her urge to detoxify. At the same time, I managed to stay within my scope of practice. This can be challenging when our clients ask us for our opinions and advice and these questions come up a lot when we have a whole hour available to our clients. It is important to navigate them in an unbiased way, with supportive listening and good referrals. In the end, this can be a great service to our clients.
Gloving for Chemotherapy
Whenever we talk about chemotherapy and massage, the question invariably comes up about chemotherapy eliminated through the skin: will the massage therapist, in continuous contact with the client's skin, unwittingly absorb some of these toxic substances? For our own safety, should we wear gloves when providing massage to clients in chemotherapy? Should we avoid contact with them altogether? Therapists are understandably concerned about the possibility of picking up chemotherapy by-products through their hands but, like any rumor, these fears have been overblown and somewhere along the line we came to believe it was dangerous to touch all patients in chemotherapy.
Space limits a full discussion of this issue here, but there is an excellent place to go for deeper understanding. The Society for Oncology Massage (www.s4om.org) provides detailed discussion for massage therapists, clients, caregivers and other health care providers. There is a Resource Link for massage therapists where the chemotherapy, toxicity and touch issues are well-addressed. Careful analysis of the risks is provided, bringing massage into alignment with nursing practices during chemotherapy. Conditions under which a therapist might wear gloves are identified, and the current understanding of the issues is made plain.
There clearly is room for more dialogue and research in the profession of massage about the precise effects of our work. There is growing energy devoted to these questions and more resources to turn to. We have the second Highlighting Massage in CIM Research conference to look forward to this May in Seattle (find out more at www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/researchconference2010.html) This conference follows closely on the heels of the second Oncology Massage Healing Summit in Minneapolis (find out more at www.nwhealth.edu/conted/seminars/oncology.html).
I attended both of these conferences the first time around, and they were some of my favorite experiences. In settings like these, the science and practice of massage are addressed by thoughtful people who bring their whole hearts and minds to their massage inquiry. Toxin or no toxin, movement or no movement; by holding massage therapy up to the light, we will come to more fully understand the work of our hands.

Application June 25, 1951, Serial No. 233,378
9 Claims. (c1. 210 129 My invention has in view several objects relating to various phases in the operation, particularly that of backwashing surficially, of filter beds such as are used in water treatment plants and similar installations in which the liquid to be filtered through a medium consisting of granular material is first fiocculated by means of a chem ical coagulant and followed by a period of quiescent fiow for removal of the bulk of the suspended matter prior to admittance to the filters. In the large majority of water treatment plants filter beds consistof properly sized sand grains, usually supported on a graded gravel layer; other filter media are anthracite screenings, which is competitive and in some respects superior to sand, and crushed stone, used for special purposes. Ordinarily the boxes or structures housing the filter beds are circular or rectangular in outline. Circular beds are confined mainly to small plants, whereas the rectangular shaped filters, on account of ease of construction, are preferred in larger sized plants.
In backwashing lters it has been found advantageous to simultaneously agitate the surface of the expanded sand bed by high pressure water jets, applied by such means as hand-directed hose streams, stationary nozzles mounted on a pipewo-rk grid, or by a rotary sweep provided with rigidly attached nozzles. Obviously, any manually controlled operation of this sort is irregularin action; and it is evident that stationary nozzles confine their benefit mainly to fixed spots at the neglect of the other areas. The rotary sweep, as developed hereto fore, is deficient in that each jet is constrained over a constant circular path to the neglect of intervening sand bed area except for the sand grains carried into the impingement area by random currents from the upfiowing backwash water. The constant circular orbits of fixed jets is disadvantageous for eflicient battering of concretions near the surface of the sand, or for destroying dense algae growths, which in resisting currents from the main backwash arrange themselves in nodal patterns. These formations tend to align between the loci of the jets, and only occasionally are shifted into a target zone, and then mainly on the periphery of the jet impact rather than present a close range, centralized target. A fundamental fault of the usual rotary sweep in a rectangular filter box is the poor reach of the jetted water into the corners of the bed where operating difficulties are most likely to develop. In an attempt to overcome this*deficieucy, outwardly directed terminal nozzles have been placedion the ends of currently manufactured filter sweeps, but the force of the jet is soon dissipated and the corner of the filter still remains inadequately agitated. Furthermore, if such a rotary sweep is allowed to operate, either inadvertently or intentionally, during the filtration phase of the operating cycle, the sand is piled up in the quiescent corners of the filter box, thereby reducing the depth of the bed in the central portions which then filter most of the water at a reduced factor of safety.
It is the object of my invention to correct the above described shortcomings of the rotary filter sweep and to 2 improve its operation by providing the following specific improvements 1. An articulated joint at the ends of the rotary arms, so that aterm'inal segment can swing in and out-in a rectangular filter box according to the position of the main sweep arm, thereby varying its reach, so that the corners receive thorough surficial agitation, just as dothe more centralized areas of the bed.
2. To so valve the swinging terminal segment that the flow thereto of surface wash water is permitted only when the reach of the arm is somewhat extended toward the corners, and to shut oil the flow when the articulated arm is passing parallel along the side or end walls of the filter box. Such valving provides a more uniform jetting action over the whole surface of the filter bedand'easier rotative motion of the sweep arm assembly than if the water were allow-to jet with the terminal segment-folded almost at right angles to the main radial segment.
3. To randomize continuously the direction of each individual jet, so that all areas of the filter bed become targets for the high speed whipping streams. This particular improvement may be applied advantageously also to rotary sweeps in circular filter boxes or to otherwise stationar jets mounted on pipework. Wagging, of the jets is achieved by mounting them with a flexible hose of special cross section, to be described below, so that .they are oscillated about in the plane of impact by the reaction of the highvelocity water stream. v
All of the above provisions are novel in a device of this character. In rectangular filter beds all three of these features are needed to completely systematize theoperation of a surface wash. For circular filters the articulated terminal segment and its control valve are altogether unnecessary, since the usual rotating arm swings over the complete bed during a traverse. However, the feature of plane polarized vacillation of the direction of the jets in a valuable addition to sweeps for circular filter boxes. With stationary jets on grids better and more complete coverage of the filter bed area is attained by symmetrically flexible hose connections.
The principles and construction of my device will be understood from the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows in transverse section a filter in which subject articulated washing device is installed. It is shown in position across the short dimension of the filter box, with the articulating segments parallel to the filter wall.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the same filter but with the articulated washing device extending diagonally into the corners toshow how agitation therefrom is provided in such areas.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section through one'of the flexibly mounted nozzle assemblies which provide the hydr'aulic reaction for driving the washing device rotatively while jetting and whipping water at high speed into the expanded sand bed. Figure 4 is a transverse section through the flexible sleeve of the nozzle assembly as along line aa of Figure 3 to show how the desired preferential flexibility is attained by means of an external elliptical outline.
Figures 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 show details of the articulating or swing valve which permits extension and retraction of the auxiliary washing segment at the same time opening and closing, respectively, its waterway so that'jet .water passes through its body only when the auxiliary arm is in its extended position toward the corners of a filter. Figure 5 is a plan View of this valve; Figure 6 is ajvertical section; Figure 7 is an elevation on the entrant sideand Figure 8 is an elevation on the exit side. Figure 9 is a perspective elevational view of the spring adjustmentnut.
Figure 10 is a vertical section through the terminal cap on the articulating arm to illustrate how the rollers thereon are guided and thefilter'wall protected by means of a peripheral track.
Figure 11 is an elevation view of the channel iron which forms this track for the terminal roller.
Figures 12, 13 and 14 diagram the geometrical relationships of a circle inscribed within rectangles of various ratios of length and width, so as to indicate the relative areas ordinarily missed or but feebly jetted by an ordinary rotary filter sweep but which the present device effectively reaches. Figure 12 shows such relations for a square. Figure l3'depicts the case of a rectangle of maximum inequality of side length, namely a ratio of length to width of 1.5. Figure 14 shows the case of Figure 13 resolved into a pair of smaller rectangles to reduce the inequality of length of sides and so facilitate unimpaired coverage by means of an articulated filter sweep.
Throughout the various views a given numeral represents the same part of the apparatus. 7 Referring now to the various details illustrated in each .of the drawings, Figure 1 shows a conventional rapid sand filter in transverse vertical section. It consists in this case for illustration of an open box having side walls 1 and fioor 2 in which is built Wash troughs 3 somewhat above the surface of filter bed 4. This bed is composed of granular material such as sand, anthracite screenings, crushed stoneor the like, and rests on a support of graded gravel layers 5. Underneath the gravel layers is one of the various types of underdrain systems, for example an assemblage of perforated laterals 6. These pipes connect to a central manifold 7 which in turn connects to the icontinues until the mat of coagulum deposited'in the top portions of the sand impedes the flow of efliuent to such an extentthat a Wide open filter controller can no longer deliver at the desired rate. The filter run is then terminated and the, bed restored to its original cleanliness by a process of backwashing. j
The operation of backwashing consists in forcing clean water back through the underdrain system, and upward throughthe gravel. layers and sand bed to overflow into the troughs and thence to a drain. During the rise of the washwater the sand bed is expanded and mildly agitated, and floc deposit is lifted from the top of the bed. Collision of individual sand grains tend to scour their respec- .tive surfaces more or less free from deposited matter.
Experience, however, has amply demonstrated that such a simple backwash is insufiicient to completely scour the media or to clean a filter bed properly, due primarily to the fact that the ascending water current is relatively slow, being in the order of only 2 feet per minute, in effect a gentle bath. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of a backwash, an auxiliary means must be provided to increase the scouring action between the sand grains. Air jets and hydraulic surface wash systems have been proposed to furnish this action. An objection to air jetsis the need-for extensive extra piping and the need for operation of an ,air compressor. Such equipment not only has its own maintenance problems, but also hampers movements of workmen in making repairs to a filter bed. Hydraulic surface wash systems have the advantage of being connectedto the pressure water lines. They may beclassified into stationary and rotary types. The stationary type, consisting of nozzles mounted on a pipe grid, have the spatial disadvantages of the air wash system, and lack the economy and flexibility of the rotary type. V In the rotary type of auxiliary surface wash, jets V are carried around the filter in a circular path, on a rotattherefore, to give the same sense of rotation, the jets on one side of the central suspension face oppositely in direction fromthose on the other side. Since the velocity of the jetted Water is quite high, in the order of feet per second, depending on'the water pressure at the nozzle heads, the sand grains such as in the path of the jetted stream, and at close range, are forcibly impacted and churned against each other with highly improved scouring effect. V
Resuming reference to Figure 1, my rotary surface washing device is shown in position slightly above the top of sand layer 4, so as to produce vigorous agitation in the upper zone of the bed when expanded by a backwash,- and also to permit motion of the arms prior to the admittance of the main back wash water, or continuously or intermittently at a much slower rate during the production phase of a filter run. Supply pipe 8 furnishes water under high pressure, as 60 pounds per square inch or above, and carries the Weight of the assembly. Rotary coupling 9, of which there are several suitable designs on the market, permits the arms to rotate Without significant leakage; however, there is no need for this part to be drop proof. It is positioned near the bottom of'the water supply line in order to obtain'the maximum stability and to minimize wear on its bearings and seals. A short vertical spaced 10 transmits the surface wash water from coupling 9 to T joint 11, here shown streamlined,to which the main rotary arms 12 are joined;
At this point bettervisualization of the apparatus is gained by use of Figure 2 in which the sweep is shown extended diagonally across a square filter box. The rotary arm'assembly consists of main horizontal segments 12 at the ends of which are placed knee-like articulating valves 13 into which are attached the articulating segments 14. 3
In both main and articulating segments alongtheir lengths are located nozzle assemblies 15, at about' 15 inclination downward, from which high pres-sure water jets issue to impinge Within and vigorously agitate the expanded sand bed; the reactive force of the water streams from these nozzles is sufficient to propel the main anus and articulating segments rotatively through the expanded sand layer during a backwash. Articulating segments 14 terminate in a cap 16 andrroller 1'7. A channel 18, around the filter walls in the plane of rotation, aids to guide the movement of the articulating segment and reduce wear on the roller and walls.
Jets are spaced radially in a manner to provide equal,
distribution of surface wash water per unit area swept over, considering each'jet as located at the center of fan annulus whose inner' and outer circumferences are described by points midway between adjacent jets. Furthermore, corresponding jets on each side of the central sus-' pension,'as has long been customary in such rotary devices, are staggered radially so that they avoid repetitions orbits and so agitate the whole expanded bed more uniformly. a
However, even though successive jet positions are staggered, the distribution of surface wash water from both the main rotary arm and the articulating segment would remain concentrated directly under the loci of the jets and appear as so many furrows cut into the top portion of the expanded sand. Such an effect can best be observed by operating a conventional rotary arm having fixed jets over quiescent sand, in which case the loci of the jet impingements show up as clear cut narrow circular trenches. Complete exposure of all sand grains to such a localized agitation depends largely on'the main backwashcurrents to aid by crosswise motion.
In order to achieve complete uniformity of surface wash distribution and consequent total agitation in the top layers of the sand during backwash, a novel feature is introduced in this device to provide a randomized pattern of targets forrthe jets over the wholefilter area. This is done by mounting the nozzles flexibly on the, main and articulating segments.
I Referring tQ.Figure 3, a nozzle assembly consists QfJan adapter 19, screwed or welded to the rotary arm segments 12 or 14, a flexible rubber. tubing of circularborebut elliptical peripheral outline so as to. flex preferential across the shorter axis which is mounted horizontally, and a nozzle head 21. Clamps 22 retain the joints between the rubber tubing with the adapter and nozzle piece, respectively. Figure 4, a section along line aa of Figure 3, shows the special molded rubber connecting hose "20, in which 23 is the circular inner wall, and 24 is the elliptical outside circumference. High pressure Water issuing from nozzles 21 cause the rubber connection 2! to whip only in an inclined plane corresponding to the direction of the central axis of the jets, and agitate sinusodially and nonrepetitiously an annular area over which the nozzle plays. By having jets slightly overlap in target areas through selection of the length and rigidity of the rubber tubing, the entire sand surface under the rotary .arms is forcibly impacted and scoured.
In Figure 5, showing a plan view' of the articulating valve 13 in a position with both main and articulating segments 12 and 14, respectively, in line, as when the latter is fully extended, a section is taken along line bbto reveal the construction more plainly.
Figure 6, section bb of Figure 5, shows constructional details of the articulating valve 13. Within the body casting 25 the plug 26 oscillates to and fro through a quadrant arc. Ball bearings 27, of bronze or other non-corrodible metal, minimize friction between the plug, body casting, top cover plate 28 and bottom cover plate 29. Bosses :30 and 31 at entry and exit sides of the body, respectively, provide mechanical strength. Entrance boss 30 is threaded to receive the end of the main rotary segment 12; and is circular in elevational outline, as seen from the entrant elevation in Figure 7. Exit boss 31 is unthreaded and allows a slight vertical clearance from the emergent articulating arm 14. Since boss 31 must allow for the articulating segment 14 to swing through a 90 arc, it is elongated in outline in the horizontal plane. Reference to the elevation, Figure 8, will show this feature more clearly. A set of ribs, 32 and 33, are placed around both bosses for reinforcement.
Still referring to Figure 6, the waterway 34, through plug 26 is counterbored and then threaded almost to the entrant side to receive the head end of the articulating arm 14; this permits better support than if the plug were threaded on the exit side. The entrant end 35 of'the waterway is grooved circumferentially, as is more evident in the elevation Figure 7, to permit continued flow of water until the plug swings through about 60 or so from the extended position when the port closes 01f.
Two sets of set screws, 36 and 37, in their corresponding lugs 38 and 39, retain the top and bottom plates, 28 and 29, inproper adjustment against the ball bearings 27. A torsional coil spring 49, normally extensive but for certain conditions retractive, nests in a cavity 41 in the top of plug 26; its elasticity is held by terminal prongs 42 which socket at 43 and 54 into the plug and the spring adjustment nut 45. Lock screw 46, which screws into plug 26, holds adjustment nut 45 tightly against the top cover plate 28. Serrations 47 and 48, on the bottom of adjustment nut 45 and the top of cover plate 28 interlock to give a positive grip when lock nut 46 is tightened. A stretched rubber seal ring 49 prevents entry of sand grains into the spring chamber and upper bearings of' the swing valve. A groove 49A permits seating of the seal ring on the top plate.
In Figure 9, showing top adjustment nut 45 in greater detail, 50 is a hole for lock nut 46 to pass through, 51 is a hexagonal or equivalently cornered head for gripping with a wrench, 52 a short intervening section, 53 a circumferential groove to provide a contoured seat for the rubber seal ring 49, and 47 a set of radially disposed serrations to grip mating serrations 48 on the upper surface of top plate 28. a
Terminal details of the swinging segment areshown in Figure 10 in which the end of articulating arm 14 is threaded to receive screw cap 54. A'lock nut or set screw may be used to retain this cap in position. Screw 55 fastens thereto yoke 56,:which supports roller 57. A lock washer 55A is placed under the head of screw 55. Roller 57 rotates about axis '58. Channel iron 59 guides roller 57 as well as providing protection against abrasion to both its rolling edge and the concrete or other wall material of the filter box. The diameter of roller 57 should exceed the outside diameter of the terminal cap '54 in order to avoid scraping action whenever segment 14 approximates a right angle with main arm 12. Guide channel 59 is held in place by means of expansion bolts 60 or similar devices passing through lugs 61.
Figure 11 shows the supportinglugs 61 on the guide channel spaced in a staggered pattern along the top and bottom edges. When a filter area is divided for purposes of symmetry or to keep the filter sweep arms from becoming unduly long the guide channels should also span the division lines between adjacent arms so as to provide a continuous guide track for the rollers. Although wall guide 59 is primarily a protective surface, the bottom edge of the channel may also serve as a supporting member whenever the total length of the sweep arms, as in 'large undivided filters, warrant this arrangement. A supplemental roller may then be added to take the vertical thrust. Such construction will relieve considerable load from the hearings in the central rotary joint 9 as well as from the swing valves 13.
Figure 12 shows simple areal relations between an inscribedcircle and a square 81, such as exists when a rotary filter'sweep without an auxiliary articulating arm 14, turns ina square filter box. Unagitated or feebly jetted sand portions are represented by area 82 lying between circle 80 and square 81.
Calling w=side of square area of square=w area of inscribed oircle=w then intervening area 82=w (1 i)=0.215 w therefore,
percent of surficially unwashed portion in asquare bed wz Xl00=21.5%
ratio surficially unwashed portion/circular washed area =0.27
This indicates that for every square foot jetted there is another 0.27 square foot which has wholly or partly:
escaped surface washing action in the case of a simple rotary filter sweep.
In Figure 13 a circle is inscribed in a rectangle whose length is 1.5 times its width. This condition represents the most extreme disparity for the installation of a simple circular filter sweep since if the length were increased to range between 1.5 to 2.0 times the width, the rectangle could be divided mediallyto yield two smaller rectangles, now having short sides with length'between 0.75 and 1.0 times the width. The latter case then becomes two squares. From this argument it is apparent that discussion of elongated rectangles is needless, as they may be resolved to approach the condition of squares. Thus the rectangle of Figure 13 is so divided by bisector cc as to contain the two tangentially inscribed smaller circles 90A in Figure ratio surficially unwashed portion/circular washed area In this case for every square foot jetted by a simple circular filter sweep without an articulating arm, there is another 0.69 square foot which has not received proper surface agitation. V The limiting values of the ratio surficially unwashed portion/circular portion, thus varying in practice from 0.27 to 0.69, shows the importance of providing an auxiliary or articulatingarm to enable a filter sweep to reach effectively into the corner areas of rectangular filter beds. Inasmuch as the jets of a simple filter sweep tend to throw the sand tangentially toward the walls of the filter box, there will result a thickening in sand concentration at the corners of the bed. Therefore, the relative amounts by volumes of unjetted to jetted sand will be even greater than the limiting figures indicated by simple geometry. Whereas this device has been described with particular [reference to its use in rapid sand or other granular filters of the gravity type, it may also be applied with equal facility and utility to the closed tanks of pressure filters.
, In general it may be used in any apparatus which contains particulate matter that at intervals needs washing in situ, such as exchanger beds and the like, and in processes.
in which the fluid may or may not be water.
Whenever used in production of potable water or when the community water supply is the source of surface rected oppositely thereto, so that reach of said articulat wash water, a vacuum breaker should be interposed, for
sanitary safety, in the supply line 8 at elevation higher than the filter box walls.
Wide departures may be made from the typical description presented herein but without deviating from the principles and spirit of my invention and the clairns thereto.
I claim as new l. A reactively driven rotary filter sweep having radial conduits on either side of a central suspension, nozzles flexibly attached to said conduit, the flexible connection therefor being elastic and having a minimum section modulus of the area of wall thickness thereof arranged parallel to the axis of said radial conduit, said nozzles being adapted to flex by hydraulic reaction in a plane inclusive of said conduit and inclined about 15 degrees downwardly below the horizontal.
2. A reactively driven rotary filter sweep supported from a central suspension slightly above the media of a filter unit, comprising a main and terminal segment on either side of the said central suspension said terminal segment rotatably mounted by means of an articulating valve so as to oscillate in the same horizontal plane as said main segment, said segments having thereon flex ible mounted nozzles constrained by elliptical cross-sectional periphery to vibrate preferentially in a desired plane when motivated by the kinetic reaction of the water issuing therethrough, an articulating valve admitting and shutting flow of surface wash water into said terminal segment as it swings into corners or follows said main segment tangentially, respectively, a torsional spring within said articulating valve, the pressure from which extends said articulating segment to its widest spread position as'permitted by proximity of filter walls, and
a roller at the distal end of said terminal .segment,.said
from said. flexibly mountednozzles so as to scourthe top portions of said filter media.
3. A rotary filter sweep 'of the construction as in claim 2, but with spring pressure in said articulating .valve ,di-
ing segment into the corners of the filter box is, achieved by hydraulic reaction of the jets torquewise about said articulating valve, against said spring pressure, said spring aiding in retraction of said articulating arm to assume an angular position with respect to said main arm in order to pass tangentially along a filter. wall.
4. The construction of claim 2 in which said spring in said articulating valve is omitted and extension and retraction of said articulating arm derived'from hydraulic reaction at the jets thereon and contact with said guide strip on the filter walls, respectively. 1 v
5. The combination with a filterbox containing granular media, and a rotary filter sweep having radial arms disposed horizontally on either sideof a centrally located vertical supply leg, a rotary joint in said leg beneath which said rotary sweep assembly is suspended,
nozzles spaced along the length of said radial arms so as to direct water jets into the filter medium adjunctively with vertically ascending backwash and in a manner to cause a turning moment in the same sense of rotation on either side of said radial arm of auxiliary oscillating arms, one each hingedly supported by a valve on the end of .each' radial arm so as to enable deliverythrough nozzles thereon of jetted surface wash water at substantially full nozzle velocity to the corners of the filter bed, said valve being supplied with a plug s0 ported for registry with said radial arm so as to pass water to they terminal oscillating arm only when said oscillating arm is somewhat. extended toward the corners of the ifilter,
bed and to shut off said flow when theroscillating arm approaches perpendicularity with said radial arm, a rigid connection of said oscillating arm to said plug, a spring in said valve to modify, as desired, hydraulic reaction in extending said oscillating arm to the widest open position with reference to said radial arm according to prefrom an adapter on said radial arms and said terminal segments, said' nozzles being adapted to whip about selectively in the plane of their longitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis of the arm to which they are attached by virtue of a cross-section in the flexible connections between said nozzle and said adapter affixed to said arms having a minimum section modulus along the axis in said plane of whipping, means for attaching said flexible connections to said adapter and nozzle, respectively, said' nozzle assemblies being arranged at staggered radii along said arms on either'side of said central supply. leg.
6. The combination in a filter box containing granular filter media, and a rotary filter sweep having radial arms disposed on either side of a central rotary mounting through which water from a high pressure source is admitted for purposes of motivating said filter sweep and scouring said filter media, of a reactively driven articulating terminal segment on each radial arm thereof, articulations being in the same plane as rotation of. said radial arms, means to control flow of surface Wash Water into said terminal segment according to angulati'on thereof with said radial arm, and flexibly mounted nozzles positioned along said radial arms and said terminal segments, said flexibly mounted nozzles being adapted to Whip preferentially in a desired plane.
7. The structure of claim 6 in which said flexibly mounted nozzles are constrained to whip in a desired plane by having an elliptical outline in cross section on the periphery of the flexible mounting member therefor.
8. The structure of claim 6 in which the means for flow from the radial segment into the terminal segment is an articulating valve which provides collinear flow therethrough at full opening.
9. The structure of claim 6 in which the means for control of flow of surface wash water from the radial arm to the terminal segment is a valve containing a spring member therein for extension or retraction, as desired, of said articulating arm toward or from the Walls of said filter box, and a roller on the distal end of said articulating arm.

From Our Editors
Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District gives families all the motivation they need to get outside for open-air fun. The park district puts youngsters on the path to athleticism and good sportsmanship with youth sports leagues, including soccer, flag football, and karate. Adults can even get in on some old fashioned, friendly competition in leagues of their own, feeling the satisfaction of connecting with a kickball or the sense of accomplishment in lawfully taking possession of your opponent's 401K by stealing his flag football flag. Aquatic aspirations take shape at the community pool, which offers public swimming, swim lessons, summer camps, and a place for rubber duckies to live out their retirement in peace. For more intellectually oriented endeavors, kids and adults can sign up for a slew of classes, such as art, dance, and music. In addition to homegrown activities, the park district organizes adult field trips to far-flung locales. You can register for an Alaskan cruise, a railroad trip through the Colorado Rockies, or a safari in Kenya.

Kristin Hughes | Sep 25, 2013 | Africa: Malawi In Malawi, traditional leaders or chiefs serve as the gate keepers to the community and play a vital role carrying out local initiatives. Special Olympics Malawi has successfully entered villages across the country through the sensitization of chiefs about people with intellectual disabilities and Special Olympics. In Salima, this resulted in changing the overall attitude of a community. After sensitizing the chief of Clement's village in Salima, Special Olympics Malawi was able to connect with Clement's family who had been identified through his school as having an intellectual disability. Clement's father attended a Family Health Forum focused on how to care for people with intellectual disabilities, and that's when everything changed. Clement was regularly beaten by other children and was not accepted in his community. Following the Family Health Forum, Clement's father came back to their village and shared what he learned with the community and felt empowered to advocate for his son. Clement's father said, "After sharing what I learned with community members, Clement is becoming more accepted and no one beats him anymore. Our lives changed, the community has changed and we can better care for Clement. We are happy."

How To Make a Fruit Crumble with Any Kind of Fruit
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
There will be a crumble of one kind or another on my table from now until Thanksgiving. Not to mention crisps and cobblers. Making any of these is so easy that you barely need a recipe — in fact, one basic recipe with some variations will serve for each. The only requirement is fresh summer fruit — the riper and closer to jamminess the better.
Recipe: Mixed Mushroom Egg Bakes
But First, Breakfast!
Despite the fact we are entering one of my favorite, easy, and effortless breakfast seasons (fresh berries and yogurt, anyone?), I love any chance to work protein into my mornings, so I've been doing a version of these egg bakes for some time now. They're perfect for a weekday meal because they hold up in the refrigerator for a good five days. When baked ahead of time, you can have a brunch-worthy breakfast on an average Wednesday, and it will feel like a pretty big treat.
Your Summer Guide to Radishes
Radishes are one of the first signs that summer, and all its bountiful produce, is finally on its way. Lovely, beautiful, rosy-colored radishes! This week we've been featuring radishes of every shape and hue in recipes that run the gamut — from a simple pasta to a spicy, potent salad with kimchi and sesame seeds.
Here are all the recipes in one handy collection, along with the rest of our advice for buying and cooking early summer radishes. Consider this your radish bucket list.
Recipe: Rozanne Gold's Bucatini with French Breakfast Radishes, Bacon & Greens
Recipes from The Kitchn
Radishes are one of my favorite vegetables; their peppery bite and heated pink color make them one of the best things at the early summer farmers market. But they are so underutilized; they're the last thing to go on the veggie platter, or dutifully chopped into salads.
But radishes are capable of so much more! When we picked out recipes for our radish mini series this week, we looked for dishes that showed a different dimension to the cutest root. This fabulous pasta from Rozanne Gold is a perfect demonstration, and it only has five ingredients.
Recipe: Ellie Krieger's Snow Pea, Scallion & Radish Salad
Recipes from The Kitchn
Ellie Krieger is a queen of simple, healthy recipes that have a bare minimum of ingredients yet still manage to have flavor and flair. This salad is the perfect example — just radishes, snow peas, and scallions in a light dressing. An elemental blend of spring vegetables — and the easiest side dish for any meal.
Recipe: Strawberry Yogurt Lassi
Drink Recipes from The Kitchn
It's not officially summer quite yet, but the recent temperatures here in New York say otherwise. I decided to take advantage of the early days of strawberry season and cool off with an icy strawberry lassi.
A lassi is a traditional Punjabi drink made with yogurt. The most traditional forms are salty, rather than sweet, and are believed to aid digestion. Sweet lassis often feature mango, sometimes with rosewater. Instead, I whipped up this light and refreshing strawberry lassi to provide some relief on these hot pre-summer days.
Recipe: April Bloomfield's Steamed and Raw Radish Salad with Kimchi and Sesame
Recipes from The Kitchn
When we were putting together a week of fresh radish recipes, we knew two things: One, we wanted to include something from April Bloomfield's lovely new book, and two, kimchi had to be involved somewhere, somehow. This rather amazing salad is a two-for-one deal, and it's a good one.
Recipe: Sarah Copeland's Barley Risotto with Swiss Chard, Radishes & Preserved Lemon
Recipes from The Kitchn
This month we're all about glorious, glorious vegetables at The Kitchn, and each week of June we're devoting some special recipe love to a few vegetables that we adore and want to spend extra time with.
First up: radishes, and what better place to start with radish exploration than this smart, summery barley risotto from Sarah Copeland? It requires a bare handful of ingredients but cooks up into a satisfying, colorful meal full of tender radishes and greens.
Recipe: Peanut Butter & Graham Cracker Pudding Pops
Dessert Recipes from The Kitchn
You know why pudding pops are so great? Because you get all of the flavor and creaminess and deliciousness of pudding, but you don't ever have to worry about that gross skin that forms on top of them. That skin! Will my nightmares about George's Pudding Skin Singles ever end? Probably not for a while, since I've spent the last two weeks making pudding, but trust me — it's worth it in the name of these popsicles.
How To Make Thai Iced Tea
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Here's the drink I'll be sipping on all summer long: Thai iced tea! I used to reserve this refreshing drink for combatting the heat when I ordered spicy curries at Thai restaurants, but not anymore. I recently discovered that making your own Thai iced tea is surprisingly easy.

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "

I went to the gyno yesterday and complained of painful sex and a pulling feeling on my vag-doctor agreed that I was probably sewn a bit too tight and suggested either estrogen cream and stretching or a little "snip" so my question is-has anyone had their doctor snip their vag to open it up a bit? �If so, how was the recovery? �How long was the cut? �And did it feel much better after it healed?
I opted for the cream first to see how it goes just because I had a forth degree tear and don't really want to experience more grief down there. �Also she referred me to physical therapy for pelvic floor issues so I imagine that may help as well.

Getting Naked Every Night
Girlyman and the pursuit of creative risk.
As showtime approaches, the band members speak less. Even though this is the tenth show they have played this tour, and the 67th this year, out of more than a thousand in their career, the nervousness before a show doesn't go away. (Henry Fonda, even at age 85, still threw up before performances.) But there's an extra tension. Everyone is coughing, and Ty has a head cold that threatens to turn their three-part harmonies into two-and-a-half-part mush. Her eyes, which already have a slightly sleepy look, are nearly shut. She's standing at the microwave waiting for her water to heat. She'll add salt, gargle, and repeat as many times as she can before taking the stage.
It's going to be hard to put on the sparkly dinner party for fans. But that's only part of the tension. The house isn't full—there are only 100 or so in the audience early in the night, even though the venue can hold 500—and this makes them anxious. This is like getting a lousy performance review the minute before a huge presentation.
They know, in theory, that attendance at any particular show means nothing. One night in Opelika, Ala., there were only 35 people in a venue that could hold many more, and the audience requested songs by other bands. But the next night, just an hour down the road, it was standing room only at a 150-person venue. The club ran out of food and liquor. But while the band knows about the ups and downs in theory, being faced with middling attendance can quickly lead to a downward spiral. "I start to think, 'What does this mean?' " says Doris. "I start to think 'oh shit, we're sliding downhill.' "
The spiral can get out of control quickly when you have an artist's imagination. Maybe they'll have to get part-time jobs. They might have to go back to playing campus cafeterias, where the crowds can be loud, distracted, and just passing through. All of this doubt makes it harder to take risks, the thing you rely on for your art.
Ty, Nate, and Doris all say they would keep doing what they do even if no one was listening. It is not just a job. They need to write and play and sing. But they also need to tour for reasons that go beyond just making money to survive. It gives shape to their lives. "I can relax into a tour," says Ty. "It helps me remember who I am. I know what to do." If that went away, they would have to entirely rewire themselves.
On the wall at the Birchmere hang black-and-white calendars showing the acts who have played there before—including John Prine, Lyle Lovett, and Lucinda Williams. "I hate these calendars," says Nate quietly. "I keep thinking, 'Maybe we got more than they did' or 'they got more people here than we did.' "
One calendar from March 2005 shows Girlyman opening for Dar Williams. Now they're the main act, but it's hard to focus on that progress. The venue is one of the larger ones they play. The audience will be intense and go wild but the band needs numbers . If they don't bring in a decent audience, they won't make as much money, and the Birchmere might not invite them back.
By showtime the house is full enough, and everyone makes their money. They'll be invited back.
Working With a Net
If Girlyman were to suddenly become famous and rich, Nate might expand his home recording studio or he might put the money into his kitchen. He was making shrimp grits the day I arrived at his bungalow in downtown Atlanta, where he moved three years ago, and the other band members followed shortly thereafter. A loaf of bread was cooking in the oven and another was on deck.
Doris was hosting a potluck birthday party for herself that night, and Nate was preparing his offering. At Doris' party, they baked Christmas cookies at one end of her railroad apartment while Ty mixed whiskey sours at the other end (in the middle is the bedroom). Friends came and went, but by the end of the evening, it was just the band. They were the last to leave even though the next night they were planning to do it all over again in Ty and Genevieve's newly renovated kitchen. For that, Nate would cook a fried-food-themed meal of Thai fried chicken and French fries.
Bands don't always get along this well. Often there's either open antagonism or everyone lives separate lives once they're off the tour. "We come off tour and call each other and say, "What are you doing tomorrow night?" says Doris.
This friendship mitigates the various risks the band faces. If it's necessary to keep making leaps to produce good art, then it helps to have a net beneath you. For Girlyman, the friendship is the net. The stronger the friendship has become, the more comfortable they have become taking risks—making their songs more personal, stretching their vocal range, and trying new song arrangements.
When Ty, Nate, and Doris talk about their work, they use words like raw, exposed, and naked. When a small business wants to grow, it risks investment in new equipment. A singer-songwriter goes to the emotional bank. "You think you're being honest and then you're just not," says Ty about songwriting. "You have to strip down another layer … the stuff that I want to give is the really scary stuff."

The Psychology of Reasoning
The Psychology of Reasoning
This book owes its origin to the indefinable sense of uneasiness and discontent into which I was thrown by the perusal of some of the best treatises on Logic. These treatises had failed to explain the nature of the logical or reasoning faculty, though purporting to indicate the laws which govern its proper functioning. Even the work of John Stuart Mill, which still remains in my opinion the best, was no more convincing than the rest. And the more I read of such books the less satisfied I became and the stronger became my desire to understand clearly what constituted reasoning.
As for the psychologists I found to my surprise that they either omitted reasoning altogether, or alluded to it in a most superficial manner.
My desire to discover the nature of reasoning was due to an instinctive tendency to resolve complex psychical phenomena into more elementary processes; and until this was accomplished the complex phenomenon remained an enigma. At length one day, just when I least expected it, I saw suddenly and clearly what I had long been seeking. The true mechanism of reasoning was manifest to me, as the resultant of the interplay of a variety of mental activities.
But the psychical phenomena of which reasoning consists, far from being elementary, appeared to me also as complex. Attention and reflection which come into play as soon as reasoning begins; coherence and the critical attitude, the vigilant guardians of the laws of logic; imagination and abstraction which determine respectively the fecundity and the greatest technical output of reasoning; synthetic and analytic thought, to which reasoning owes its evolution to higher forms--all these phenomena or modalities of psychical attitude, the immediate factors of reasoning, are evidently not elementary phenomena, but are themselves complex. So that the solution of the problem led me, by a route opposite to that followed in the present book, from the most complex phenomena of all, to phenomena less and less complex. Finally I found that I had arrived on the one hand at sensorial mnemonic reproductions (evocations of past sensations), and on the other at affective tendencies. Either of these I might have regarded as the most elementary of all psychical phenomena on whose combination and interplay all the others depended, but I succeeded in relating both to a quite general and fundamental property of life, which I had already empha-

I am trying to convert String latitude and longitude coordinates into a float because I am plotting them on a map. I have tried a combination of things and it is just not working correctly. Any help would be truly appreciated!
This is my String:
String r = loc[1].substring(0, loc[1].length()-1);
It prints out as: 42.202344 (example)
float lon = float(r.replaceAll( "[^\\d]", "" ));
float lon = Float.valueOf(r.replaceAll( "[^\\d]", "" ).trim().floatValue());
float lon = Float.valueOf(r.replaceAll( "[^\\d]", "" )).floatValue();
All of the values above yield: 4.2202344E7 <-- which is not plottable.
