What CDC Is Doing About Cancer Survivorship
As the number of cancer survivors grows, CDC is addressing issues related to survivorship. CDC works with public, non-profit, and private partners to create and implement successful strategies to help the millions of people in the United States and other countries who live with, through, and beyond cancer.
Research by CDC scientists includes work in health disparities, health behaviors, quality of life and social support, the economic impact of cancer survivorship, and documenting trends.
Programmatic Work
CDC's cancer survivorship activities include—
- Helping states, tribal groups, territories, and Pacific Island jurisdictions address cancer survivorship through comprehensive cancer control initiatives.
- Supporting national organizations in the development, dissemination, and coordination of comprehensive cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship activities in underserved populations.
- Through the National Cancer Survivorship Resource Center—
- Supporting the development and distribution of a broad range of cancer survivorship informational materials, including clinical care guidance and provider education materials.
- Promoting healthy behaviors to reduce late and long-term effects of cancer and its treatment.
- Improving surveillance and screening practices to detect cancer recurrence.
- Funding organizations to improve the overall health and quality of life of young breast cancer survivors by—
- Providing structured support services to young breast cancer survivors and their families.
- Developing educational and awareness resources to increase patient and provider knowledge of health behaviors and risk reduction.
Cancer Survivorship Research Conference
Together with other national partners, CDC supports the Cancer Survivorship Research Conference. This biennial meeting brings together researchers, clinicians, cancer survivors, advocates, policymakers, and public health experts to share the latest research and interventions designed to improve the long-term health and quality of life for cancer survivors and their families.
National Action Plan
In 2004, CDC and the LIVESTRONG Foundation, along with nearly 100 experts in cancer survivorship and public health, released A National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship: Advancing Public Health Strategies. This collaboration articulated goals, activities, and priorities to address the issues facing the growing number of cancer survivors in the United States.
CDC has joined forces with national organizations, states, tribes, territories, and Pacific Island jurisdictions to address several of the cancer survivorship "priority needs" cited in the Action Plan. This work includes efforts to understand and improve care and quality of life for cancer patients, their family, friends, and caregivers, as well as developing initiatives to increase survivorship in low-income and medically underserved populations.

Join ThinkExpats as we explore the many corners of Prague!
Jindrich Sidlo
Zeman has power and knows how to use it: offer some of it to his allies and kick his enemies to the ground. He knows nothing else.
Despite his merry look, a line says "Krtek plays the blues". The picture is very familiar to me, because I know this kind of drawings from the children's books that my grandparents then brought from Prague.
Among their legacy is also a children's song in their language, but this is where the Czech part of my childhood ends.
Raised by a Czech father and a French mother in Bavaria, Germany, speaking German with my father and French with my mother, my childhood was rather more French than anything else.
My German history started with my first day at school and since then, I have been feeling entirely German. It's the country I was brought up in, it's the people I know, the culture I was taught. After the Velvet Revolution, I visited my father's home country quite frequently.
Once he took me to a barbecue with friends of his, to whom he had to introduce me with the words: "She is my daughter but she doesn't speak my language." I found this so sad that I started taking czech lessons at university immediately. When they were called off, I spent a month at summer school in Prague twice, but I'm far from saying I'm more than a bloody beginner.
Maybe I enjoyed more my grandfather's appartment that we had kept, and the cozy cafes and quiet tearooms all over the town, the cheap "parek v rohliku" and the great nights out that are so special in Prague (partly due to the innovative czech-international clubs and partly to the hideously greasy "klobasa" sausage that sobers you up in an instant). Or the odor of the rambling cobblestone alleys, the speed of the escalators in the underground, the noise of the trams.
And also, there's this overwhelming feeling of home, "ma vlast", when I'm in Prague. There's this nagging longing to be there when I'm not. There lives the people I feel I somewhat belong to through my father, although I don't understand them when they speak, and even so, they recognize me, physically, as one of theirs: They can tell I'm Czech from looking at me, and my mother says she sees me a hundred times when she's in my father's country. (Naturally, I also share the three national passions for gherkins, mushrooms and poppy seeds - not to mention the beer!)
You've most certainly seen folk musicians perform on the Old Town Square in summer. Listening to them stirs up the huge Czech part of my soul, and when they sing, my ancestors join in within myself.
Yes, I love them, for having been the underdogs in the past centuries, for their sense of humor they've developed out of this situation, for the sweet melancholy that imbues their otherwise pragmatic mentality - even for occasionally bein surly or grumpy, because I assume that comes from the fears they have (and who would blame them for feeling insecure after the immense changes they have gone through in this century - namely in the past decade!)
So here I am - a European with a German and a French passport and half a Czech heart. Torn between Cologne that I love and that I chose to be my hometown, the mountains of Bavaria where I was brought up, my French and, as I might have mentioned, my Czech legacy. Having said all this, I'm actually spending a year in London, not feeling too bad here either.
So better don't ask me where I'm from or where my home is - I don't have a clear answer to that question. I wish I had.
But at least, when my homelessness makes me feel sad, I know that this, too, is part of my Czech history: For my father, who must know it, maintains that the motto of Czech soul is: "Oh what joy do I find in suffering!"
Which is probably the reason why Krtek plays the blues.
Simply everything you need to know in Prague.

King breakfast honors 94-year-old activist
Jewell Hooper has been a leader in Southeast San Diego for more than 50 years
San Diego Longtime Southeast San Diego community activist Jewell Hooper may be pushing 95, but don't make the mistake of calling her retired.
This year's recipient of the YMCA of San Diego County's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Human Dignity Award says she may be slowing down, but there's still plenty of gas left in her tank.
"I think they're giving me awards now to get them in before I die," she said Monday, with an amused laugh. "But I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and he looked at me and said 'Mrs. Hooper, nobody would look at you and think you're 94 years old. I'd put you somewhere in your 60s.'"
For more than 50 years, the retired civil servant has been active in local community development, voter registration, political activism and senior education. Her efforts will be recognized Friday morning when the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA hosts its 29th annual Martin Luther King awards breakfast at the Town & Country Resort in Mission Valley. The sold-out breakfast for 1,200 — held each year on the Friday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day — honors the legacy of the late civil rights leader, as well as at least one local person who best exemplifies his life and works.
"She's truly a jewel," event chair Dee Sanford said of this year's honoree. "She's such a lovely lady and she's done so much for her community."
Hooper was among 40 people nominated by the public this year for the MLK Human Dignity Award. She was chosen for the prize by its past winners, who include Padres baseball great Tony Gwynn and his wife Alicia, Civil Rights leader Carrol Waymon, former Urban League President Ambrose Broadus, Assemblywoman Shirley Weber and local pastors Rev. James H. Hargett, Bishop George McKinney and Rev. Ray Smith.
"It's really something to know that there are still people out there like Jewell Hooper who have walked in the same steps as Dr. King," said Michael Brunker, executive director of the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA. "She spends every minute of her life doing good on Earth."
Hooper, a Valencia Park resident, said she's deeply honored by the award because it is named for one of her lifelong heroes.
"This day will not about me, who just made a few ripples in one city in this enormous country," she said. "I want to celebrate someone who created waves nationally and internationally."
Hooper moved to San Diego in 1957 with her older sister Carrine, whose engineer husband had been hired (through a minority recruiting effort) by Convair. They traveled from a segregated suburb of Washington, D.C., with the hope that San Diego would be more welcoming to middle-class black professionals. They were wrong.
"I didn't know San Diego was segregated until I got here," she said. "We did run into segregated areas on our journey here, but I had no idea that California wasn't an open state. I lived to find out differently."
The trio rented a room in the St. James Hotel (now the Ramada Gaslamp) and the sisters spent the next several days canvassing El Cajon Boulevard looking unsuccessfully for a motel room with a cooktop. Turned down at every stop (even at motels with vacancy signs), Hooper said a desk clerk finally leveled with her.
"He said 'lady, I've seen you and this other lady driving up and down this street every day and you're not going to find a vacancy on El Cajon Boulevard,'" Hooper recalled. "He asked me if I knew where Southeast San Diego is and he said I might have better luck if I looked for a place south of Market Street."

Because they face fewer commercial demands than other publishers, university presses frequently offer books of interest to specialized audiences. Interest in AfricanAmerican studies has also added to the growing list of such books. Here is a sampling.
Women in the Civil Rights Movement: and Torchbearers, edited by Vicki L. Crawford, Jacqueline Anne Ross and Barbara Woods from Indiana University Press, "helps break the gender line that restricted women in civil rights history to background and backstage roles," according to Julian Bond. This seminal work puts black women in their proper place in civil rights history. The essays about Ella Baker, Septima Clark, Fannie Lou Hamer, Gloria Richardson, Modjeska Simkins, Mary Church Terrell and others offer readers a fresh look at who the movement's makers were.
For fall 1999 the New Press offers history you can read and hear in Remembering Slavery: African-Americans Talk About Their Personal Experiences of Slavery and Emancipation, edited by Ira Berlin, Marc Favreau and Steven E Miller, a book-and-audio tape published in conjunction with the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution. In the few original recordings of former slaves recounting their own experiences, listeners and readers can hear st-avery told in the words of those who experienced it firsthand. The Washington Post calls it "chillit."
Also from New Press comes David Cole's No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System, called "bold and breathtaking" by The Washington Post and "a powerful indictment of the criminal justice system" by The Christian Science Monitor.
In the aftermath of the World Series, baseball addicts will want Catching Dreams: My Life in the Negro Baseball Leagues by Frazier "Slow" Robinson, with Paul Bauer, from Syracuse University Press. The New York Times says, "His use of language, at once poetic and unvarnished, is a joy." From the same press, poetry lovers will enjoy Spirit and Flames: an Anthology of African-American Poetry, edited by Keith Gilyard. Publisher's Weekly says it "outlines the depth and breath of black poets working in the 1990s."
A Companion to "Slow" Robinson's nasetiall memoir is Brushing Back Jim Crow: The Integration of Minor League Baseball in the American South by Bruce Adelson, University Press of Virginia.
The Virginia Press, most famous recent book - Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings: An American Controversy by Annette Gordon-Reed - has been updated with a new preface to reflect DNA evidence. While Gordon-Reed doesn't prove Thomas Jefferson fathered Hemmings' children, she does prove that all the evidence that said he didn't was bogus, a failure of white historians to grant black oral testimony the same weight as similar testimony from whites.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Health inequalities are the most important inequalities of all, and in the United States and United Kingdom they have reached a formidable size. In this new book from provocative critic Daniel Dorling, health inequalities are held up as the scandal of our times. While health is generally better now than it was a century ago, the gaps in life expectancy between regions, cities-even neighborhoods-have surpassed the worst measures recorded over the past century. Drawing on international studies, annotated lectures, newspaper articles, and interviews, Dorling provides an authoritative critique of this egregious social problem, calling for immediate action against an injustice that any leading nation should be ashamed to allow.

Centennial Photo Gallery provides a glimpse of the dynamic history
of the institution and its library. The University Library has grown
from a small, local collection to a resource that, with the arrival
of the Internet, spans the entire globe. In our 100 years we have
truly realized the vision of the library that was so boldly stated
in 1894:
world is brought to our doors, and all the latest news and most
advanced thought in various lines of human activity" (Catalog,

1897 until 1906. She hailed from Manchester England and was preceded

We're designing an OLTP financial system. it should be able to support 10.000 transactions per second and have reporting features.
So we have come to the idea of using:
- a NoSQL DB as our main storage
- a MySQL DB (Percona server actually) making some ETLs from the NoSQL DB for store reporting data
We're considering MongoDB and Riak for the NoSQL job. we have read that Riak scales more smoothly than MongoDB. And we would like to listen your opinion.
- Which NoSQL DB would you use for a OLTP financial system?
- How has been your experience scaling MongoDB/Riak?

Edit Article
How to Characterize Your Vocal Range
Many people love to sing, but when asked what part, they are unsure or pick the part that has the melody. There are several different vocal ranges. This article discusses how to determine which you might fit into.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1The first thing you'll need is a piano or other instrument where you know what the notes are.
2Find the pitch at which you speak and the pitch at which you laugh. These two pitches are good indications of where your voice is most comfortable.
3Using a staccato (short) ha, move up and down the scale to find your highest and lowest note. Make note of where you feel the most comfortable and sing the best. Exaggerated sighing where your voice moves through pitches is also a good way to find how high and low your voice can go.
- The notes you sing most easily and beautifully are called tessitura. Your working range are the notes where you can comfortably sing beyond this. The extreme range of a voice is usually only accessible by professionals or those who have been trained.
- The highest voice is a Coloratura. The tessitura is from B above middle C and up the scale to G above high C. Their working range extends from E above middle C to A above high C.
- The next voice is called a Lyric Soprano. The tessitura for this voice is from A above middle C to F above high C. The working range is from D above middle C to G above high C.
- Next we come to the Dramatic Soprano. The tessitura is from G above middle C to E above high C. Their working range extends from middle C up to F above high C.
- Mezzo Soprano is next on the list. The tessitura is from E above middle C to high C. The working range is from B below middle C to E above high C.
- Contraltos are the lowest of the treble voices. Their tessitura is middle C to A above middle C. Their working range is from G below middle C to high C.
- The Lyric Tenor straddles the treble and base clefs. They can sing from A below middle C to F above middle C in the tessitura range. Working ranges are from D below middle C through A above middle C.
- Dramatic Tenors come next. The tessitura is D below middle C up to D above middle C. Working range is low C to F above middle C.
- Baritones have a tessitura from B below low C to G above low C and a working range of A below low C to D above middle C.
- The next lowest voice is the Bass Baritone. The tessitura is from A below low C to F above low C. Working range encompasses G below low C to middle C.
- Finally we have the Bass. This voice has a tessitura from G below low C to E above low C. The working range is F below low C up to B below middle C.

text: I'm trying to shrink a PV and it just does not seem to want to work. My disk has to partitions, hda1 and hda2. hda1 is a regular primary partition and so is hda2. hda1 has an ext3 filesystem and hda2 is an LVM PV. After booting from a livecd, I used pvdisplay /dev/hda2 to observe that it was 4886 extents long and each extent is 4M. Through trial and error I discovered I could reduce it to 4761 extents. So I went ahead and did that. I then shrank the partition (through a delete and add operation for partition #2) by 10 cylinders where each cylinder is 8225280 bytes long. I observed through /proc/partitions before and after the fdisk operation that the partition table change was effective to the kernel. Considering I reduced the PV by 524,288,000 bytes, reducing the partition by 82,252,800 should be quite safe. Or so I thought. After reducing the partition and observing the reduction through /proc/partitions, a vgscan was giving me errors: lseek: 20497235968 failed: Invalid ... (EINVAL) Now for the life of me I cannot figure out why vgscan would be trying to seek to 20,497,235,968 considering that is beyond the end of even 4886 4M extents (20,493,369,344). But even still, why would it be trying to seek what is obviously beyond the end of the partition considering I told it that the PV is now smaller? Any thoughts? b.

A few weeks ago now, I bought a new skywatcher EQ6 GOTO mount....and its great.
I have however discovered a minor problem with the RA axis, it tends to be a little bit "sticky"...as in it doesn't move very freely by hand. To my knowledge, this hasn't affected my imaging, however it does make it fairly difficult go get the mount balanced accurately.
Is there a quick fix for this problem, or does the mount have to be pulled apart and re-greased??
P.s. The RA locking leaver is fully unlocked.
Cheers in advance for any help, Angus

Graduate Management Admission Test -GMAT
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
is a Standardized test that measures verbal, mathematical and analytical
writing skills. GMAT helps business schools in assessing the potential of
applicants for advanced study in business and management. Nearly 900
management institutes all over the world (almost all of them in the US) give
admission in the
program on the basis of GMAT
The GMAT test is developed and administered by the US-based Pearson VUE
under the direction of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a
non-profit organization of graduate business schools worldwide. For the
conduct of the test, Pearson VUE has appointed testing centers in various
GMAT test is held all-round-the-year. You can choose your own date and time
for taking the GMAT. The test is administered five-days-a-week (Monday
through Friday), twice-a-day. September to December is the high season for
GMAT. In case you intend to take the test during this period, you need to
register quite early (say 2-3 months advance) to get a date of your choice.
Otherwise, registering at least 15 days in advance is mandatory.
Anyone is eligible to appear in GMAT. There are no restrictions based on age
or qualifications. The test scores are valid for five years, i.e., most
universities accept scores up to
five years old.
GMAT Test Pattern
The GMAT tests the fundamental skills-Reasoning and Comprehension
included-and does not require any subject-specific theoretical study. The
test has three distinct sections : Analytical Writing Ability (AWA),
Quantitative, and Verbal. The Quantitative section has two types of
questions, Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency, mingled throughout the
section. The Verbal Section has three types : Sentence Correction, Critical
Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension; here too, the questions of each type
appear in no set sequence. There are a total of 78 questions, 37 in
Quantitative and 41 in Verbal. These have to be done in 75 minutes each.
Format of GMAT
Analytical Writing Assessment: The analytical writing section
consists of two short essays to be written in thirty minutes each. The first
is the Analysis of an Issue, in which you need to analyze the issue
presented and explain your views on it. The second essay is Analysis of an
Argument, in which a given argument has to be critically analyzed and
evaluated. For both the essays, the emphasis is on the "Analytical" part,
and not on the "Writing" part.
Quantitative Section: The 37 questions in this section comprise two
kinds of questions : Problem Solving (PS) and Data Sufficiency (DS). This
section contains questions on Mathematics. The difficulty level of the
questions is comparable to Class X.
Verbal Section: The verbal section in GMAT test requires the basic
skills of English coupled with reasoning and analysis. The 41 questions, to
be attempted in 75 minutes, consist of three types : Sentence Correction
(SC), Critical Reasoning (CR), and Reading Comprehension (RC). The three
types are intermingled, with no fixed number for each type.
GMAT Preparation
Take minimum of three full months of focused preparation before your
GMAT. Those who are not in
continuous touch with subjects or out of
school or college for long time
are advised to take not less than six months for a good preparation. As such
no recognized or accredited Institutes are available for GMAT preparation.
However, several private institutes offer short term courses for GMAT
preparation. These institutes offer two different types of courses for GMAT
preparation. One is GMAT
course and the other is GMAT
classroom course. Online courses are best for those who cannot attend
classroom courses for some reasons.
Those who are opting for classroom
course for GMAT preparation must
check whether the institute has provision for GMAT-CAT (GMAT Computer
Adaptive Test) version of training. GMAT requires "good speed" of solving
the questions and hence whenever you are taking the Mock-GMAT test during
your preparations, make your first 'objective' to complete it in given
Here are some useful tips for cracking the GMAT exams.
GMAT Registration in India
GMAT is now a
computer adaptive test and can be
taken at any time of the year. Before appearing for GMAT you have to first
register for the test. If you plan to take GMAT in India you can register in
following three ways:
GMAT Score
test is only one of several
parameters which the graduate schools look at to determine the selection of
an applicant. A high score alone does not translate into an admission offer
from a great school. But the test can be looked upon as the first major
hurdle to be cleared in the process of getting admission into a B-school of
your choice. A good score will push your candidature to the top, by
projecting you as a candidate with good verbal and analytical talents, which
are the important base of aspirants to pursue
education in Management field.
Apart from a good score, many of the top Schools and Universities look for
other features like past academic records, your application essays,
recommendation letters from your past Institutes or

(Edward Burne-Jones, 1897) The qualities needed in the design […] are beauty and character of outline; exquisite, clear, precise drawing of incident. (William Morris, 1890) In my previous post, I looked at some early stained glass designs, and mentioned how the established techniques […]Keep reading

George Barbier (1882-1932) was one of the most highly regarded illustrators of the early 20th century Art Deco movement.

Perhaps more successfully than any other fashion illustrator of his […]Keep reading

That's a huge first step and one of many, but people will be there to support you. Don't be afraid to lean on someone when you need it!
All people who make sweepingly generalized, stupid, uninformed comments are idiots.
Good luck!
Also, I read something a few days ago that might be a good idea if you ever get the "urge."
Try developing a good habit that you will do instead of getting something to drink every time you get the urge. Like, instead of getting a beer, go and do ten pushups (or whatever good habit you might want to start doing). That way, you can not only quit a bad habit, but start a good one as well.
Good luck to you. I've known quite a few people who succeeded and a few who did not. Those who didn't did not get any help and never admitted they had a real problem.
Good Luck! Not an easy thing to kick, surround yourself with people that will help. Wish you the best.
A world without yoga pants and Planter's cheese balls, is a world I no longer want to live in.
It's a lifestyle change, but can definitely be done. Best of luck to you. Get a good support network and rely on them.
*Rest in peace corn dog chick and #Hoiball
Good luck. And if you don't succeed the first time, try again!
Good luck and you can do it! Go Fight Win!
good luck and congrats on taking the first step.
I have not had a drink in five years. It is wonderful not to have nights I cannot remember. I cannot say that I miss the ear splitting hangovers either. Get ready to meet some new friends. The guys and gals that I used to get loaded with no longer even call to see if I am alive. I cannot say that I miss them either.
I had one guy working for me in a key position who came to me asking if he could take a long vacation and go into in patient treatment after serving his short stint in the slammer for a DUI. Of course I said yes and agreed to keep it quiet for him. I feel guilty every annual anniversary of his sobriety when he sends me a heartfelt email thanking me for the support I gave him when I was simply doing the right thing. He celebrated four years earlier this year. I'm very happy for him and will be praying for you.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Good for you. Good luck
A wise choice, and one that your body and your loved ones will thank you for in the long run. I wish you courage, strength, discipline, and much love from those surrounding you.
Small steps....just small steps...but they add up to a journey you won't regret.
Best of luck, you've already taken the most difficult step by understanding and admitting you have a problem. As others have said, find a good support group. Even online forums can be extremely helpful to converse with people that are going through the exact same thing. You're never alone in your battles.
Cris Carter (former Viking great) was candid on Mike and Mike once about alcohol and drugs. It's been 20-30 years of sobriety for him and it was very impressive to listen and hear about how he makes the commitment to stay sober every morning when he wakes up. I respect him for being open about it, and also you because you are seeking that path. Don't let anything stop you brother, you got a lot of people who need you.

Good luck to you man. Stay strong!

Stayed at a studio cottage for 2 nights. It was spotlessly clean, well furnished and very cosy.

Talented actors/comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, of Key and Peele fame, have created 3 short but hilarious clips with Killzone: Shadow Fall inspiration. They feature two guys planning a bachelor party with a Killzone theme but quickly back step when their ladies arrive. The two then proceed to throw each other under the bus in a hilarious cover up attempt. In typical Key & Peele fashion the two play off each other extremely well and should bring a chuckle to anyone who has been in or has seen this situation.

Preparing a personal budget (and sticking to it)
By Jean Murray, PhD
Having and using a monthly budget is always a good idea, but it is particularly important as you graduate from chiropractic school and begin your new career.
Budgets are like exercise machines: they are often put in place but seldom used. Setting up and maintaining a monthly budget is mandatory while you are in school and getting ready to start your practice. Here are some thoughts on how to make it easier.
The importance of starting now
As a student, you should keep your monthly expenses at the lowest comfortable level so you can minimize student loan requirements and save some earned income for startup. As you start your practice, you'll need to stay within a budget so you can keep your withdrawals from the practice at a minimum, particularly in the beginning, when you will probably be operating with cash-flow deficit.
When you prepare your business plan, you'll need to include the amount of cash you plan to take out of your practice to live on each month (your "draw"), if you are a sole proprietor, or the amount you'll need as a salary if you are incorporating.
When you go to a bank looking for a startup loan, the bank may ask you for your monthly budget information. If you are working as an associate or independent contractor, you must know the minimum you will need to live on, so you can negotiate your base salary.
Tips for keeping on track
Your budget should be easy to use. There are online tools and Excel spreadsheets that can help you set up budget amounts and input expenses and income. Here are some suggestions for keeping things simple:
- Have as few categories for expenses as possible. The fewer the categories, the easier the decisions are. For example: You can lump a lot of stuff into "miscellaneous" expenses.
- Include a category for "unexpected" expenses (like repairs), and keep a little money in your checking or savings account for these things.
- Don't underestimate expenses. The reason most people don't stay with budgets is that they forget two major categories: "miscellaneous" and "fun." If your budget doesn't include some money for entertainment (eating out, small indulgences, or movies) you won't stick to it.
Similarly, not setting aside enough for miscellaneous expenses means you won't have enough to pay for the small unexpected purchases that come up.
- Get into the habit of budgeting.
Additional suggestions
- Use duplicate checks. They cost a little more but they save the time and frustration of trying to figure out what a check was written for.
- Set a jar or container in the kitchen or on your bedroom dresser. Put your receipts in it and enter them in your worksheet at the end of the week.
- Pay your bills online. Use bill-paying software or your bank's free bill paying service to schedule and pay bills. Not only do you get the benefit of saving on mailing, but you also get a record of bills paid.
- Set aside a time each week to catch up on your weekly expenses and enter them into your worksheet.
Finally, a word of advice from a very wise chiropractor: Don't spend all the money (DSATM)!
Jean Murray, PhD, has been counseling small business owners since 1974 and is currently helping chiropractic students and graduates who want to start their own practices.
Resources for budgeting
Here is a useful household budgeting work sheet for Microsoft Excel: bankrate.com/finance/money-guides/free-household-budgeting-work-sheet.aspx
Commerce Clearinghouse has several tools that can help you with setting up and maintaining your monthly budget:
- Family Monthly Budget Worksheet: finance.toolkit.com/planning_tools/display.aspx?tid=fammonbudget_m
- Home Budget Calculator: bankrate.com/calculators/smart-spending/home-budget-plan-calculator.aspx
When you use this calculator, remember to include:
- monthly payments on your student loans
- malpractice insurance, if you are an employee and expected to pay for your own (If you're in your own practice, this cost is a business expense)
- health insurance for you and your family (even if your practice has a healthcare plan, this cost will probably not be covered completely by the business)
- other sources of income (e.g., your spouse's income, any salary you will be taking from your practice, income from investments, or from alimony/child support)

Cuba IT & Social Media Initiative
The power of Internet technology and social media to fuel economic growth, enhance communication and expand educational opportunities is, without doubt, one of the legacies of the last quarter century. However, while Internet technology and social media have helped increase communication and grow the economies of developed nations and some emerging nations, others have fallen behind and into an ever-expanding technology gap. If access to basic healthcare and education were the determining factors for development in the past, access to technology may very well be the determining factor for this generation.

NEW DELHI: A crowded bus fell into a deep gorge in northern India on Saturday, killing at least 39 people, police told the Associated Press. The driver lost control of the vehicle at a sharp bend on a mountain road in the Himachal Pradesh state, nearly 620 kilometres north of the Indian capital, New Delhi, said police officer Raj Kumar.
The bus then plunged more than 100 metres into the gorge, Kumar told the Associated Press.
He also said the rescue operation was continuing and that the death toll of 39 was likely to increase.
The Press Trust of India added that twenty people who were injured in the accident have been hospitalized.
Police figures show India has the world's highest road death toll, with more than 110,000 people dying each year in accidents commonly caused by overcrowding, speeding, and poor vehicle and road maintenance.
