Rouba Al-Fattal is a part-time professor of Middle East and Arab politics at the University of Ottawa.
Canada has met its self-imposed deadline to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees. Should we now pat ourselves on the back for a job well done? Surely not, given that there are still more than four million Syrians seeking refuge, and more than 7.5 million displaced internally in Syria. Taking in refugees is only a start, and should remain a priority within the wider government agenda of addressing Syria's future.
A UN-backed report in March, 2015, estimated that since the start of the Syrian conflict, the economic loss topped $200-billion (U.S.), with 80 per cent of Syrians living in poverty. The country's education, health and social-welfare systems have collapsed. No wonder that more than one million people had fled the country, with Europe as their main goal. Thousands died in the attempt, or fell victim to human smuggling. Despite the dangers and costs, refugees continue to make the perilous journey, leading to Europe's worst refugee crisis since the Second World War.
By the end of 2016, Sweden had taken in more than 200,000 asylum-seekers and Germany nearly 1.5 million. Like other Europeans, Germans are growing worried about hosting so many newcomers and political pressure is mounting on Chancellor Angela Merkel. It's not surprising that xenophobia and right-wing parties are on the rise across Europe.
A month after Denmark passed a law requiring police to confiscate cash and valuables from refugees in an attempt to deter them, French police cleared a makeshift camp for refugees and other unauthorized migrants.
Countries have closed borders, and thousands of refugees are trapped in Greece.
Syrian refugees have been reduced to chess pieces, with France threatening to use them against Britain if the latter ends its membership in the European Union, and Turkey using them as a threat against the EU if the latter doesn't provide more financial assistance. The most effective way to end the refugee crisis is to end the Syrian conflict, but no solution is in sight.
In contrast to the crisis atmosphere in Europe and the Mideast, Canada is delighted to have saved 25,000 Syrians, and is planning to resettle another 55,000 refugees this year, most of them Syrian. But how many of the first 25,000 have been resettled, and how effectively will they be helped?
More than 1,000 of the newcomers are living in temporary housing. And we still have a shortage of family doctors, a lack of proper dental care for low-income adults and a lack of subsidized daycare spaces for parents who want to learn English. University-age refugees, or those who already have foreign degrees, can't afford our postsecondary system, sending many to low-income jobs instead. What future do refugees have without proper language training, Canadian education or Canadian work experience?
The government believes it has done a great job for Syrian refugees, but the process has been shouldered mainly by our outstanding communities and volunteers. Our governments at all levels need to co-operate and work much harder to find structural solutions for newcomers, or we will have a failed generation.
Europe might be closing the borders in the face of Syrian refugees, but Canada is as much to blame for giving them hope and making promises that may not be delivered. All the while their fate is in the hands of external powers, who are using them as mere bargaining chips.Report Typo/Error

Elizabeth Hurley Brings Breast Cancer Awareness to Big Apple
Celebrating Estee Lauder's 20th Anniversary Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, Elizabeth Hurley headed over to the Empire State Building to light the skyscraper pink on Monday (October 1).
Standing next to a much smaller scale of the famous New York City landmark, the "Bedazzled" actress looked darling in a flowing pink dress and nude heels.
After making the brave climb up the building for the event, Elizabeth took to Twitter to show her appreciation writing, "Thanks to the wonderful organisers at the Empire State Building for letting us go up to the 103rd floor. Gulp."
Inviting fans to her next public appearance later tonight, Miss Hurley told her Twitter fans, "We'll be at the GM building, by the Apple Store, at 5.30-6.30 tonight at the Breast Cancer Awareness Interactive Exhibition. Join us there!"

I almost forgot to mention that Katherine and my parents threw me a surprise congratulation celebration. Below is a picture of the cake they had. Thanks Again!
First, if you have written me congratulations on my diagnosis and I haven't written you back yet, thank you! My family and I are very thankful for everyone's prayers, love and support these past few months. Life is good!
The past week, since my last post, Katherine and I have been taking it pretty easy. I have spent time to organize the files on my computer and catch up on sleep. One task that has been time consuming is organizing the pharmacy receipts. I thought my insurance company automatically reimbursed me on prescriptions but I have to submit each one separately for reimbursement. We have spent a good part of the week going through six months worth of receipts to submit to blue cross. I finished entering August into the computer tonight.
On a very celebratory note my grandmother turned 101 this week, August 24 th . I wasn't able to see her but she says she is going to have a real party next year to celebrate. I'm going to hold her to it. Happy Birthday Grandmother!
Today I had a Fast Track. Overall my counts were good but my white blood cell count was the lowest it has been since I started chemo. It isn't dangerously low, but low enough where the nurse told me to stay away from crowds, children and sick people until the end of next week. This somewhat limits what we can do for Halloween but we still plan on finding something fun. There are few haunted houses that stay open through next weekend we plan to go to.
Again, thank everyone for stopping by. I put a few pictures below for everyone to enjoy.
My tests came back showing the cancer is gone! Dr. Fanale said I have been one of the healthiest most phenomenal cases she has seen. It has been a long road but it looks like I made it. I still have two rounds of chemo left in my regiment, this to get any stray cells that may be lingering and then another round of tests. But then I'm coming home! Hopefully before Thanksgiving.
For follow up, I will be visiting every three months for three years to have my tests rerun. This to make sure I am staying in remission. Then they will be rerun once a year for the rest of my life. Again, I am one of the favorite clients of my insurance company.
There is scar tissue where the tumor was, which will continue to give me some back pains. But besides this I have a complete bill of health.
Thank everyone who has prayed and given support. I couldn't have done it without you! God Bless!Love Slate
For over the past week I have been having horrible head and neck aches. These are a side effect of my last Lumbar Spinal Tap. Dr Groves explained, a week after the procedure when I started complaining, that the head and neck aches can last up to two weeks. The recommended treatment is for me to lie flat on my back and drink lots of caffeine. So for the past week I have spent most of my time lying the couch drinking Diet Coke. The middle to end of last week was really bad, I had to cancel some appointments because the pain too intense to go anywhere. Fortunately over the weekend the headaches have gotten much better, but my head still hurts if I bend over too quickly or turn my head real fast. It feels almost like a bad case of whiplash.
I met with my Palliative care Doctor's yesterday, the Doctors who are responsible for my pain management and overall care outside of my cancer treatment, and they explained in more detail the science behind headaches. The first part of my spinal tap involves draining 1/12 th of my spinal fluid so it can be tested for cancer, which it is clean of. This spinal fluid is what my brain and spine rest in and functions as a shock absorber. Once this fluid is removed, the nerve endings connecting my brain to my skull can become stretched and pulled, due to gravity, until the body replaces the fluid. This is why lying on my back relieves the pressure. My Doctor went on to tell me she has had patients with these side effects for up to three weeks after their spinal tap.
I will be having my second to last---hopefully, please pray---Chemo treatment this Thursday or Friday. The plan is then, twenty-one days after this one I will have one more round then another series of tests run. If everything has worked, I will be in remission and can come home. If I still have a tumor and/or it has become immune to my current Chemo routine, they have already planned to put on another chemo treatment called RICE. However, I am feeling very positive that everything is working and I will be home before Thanksgiving. Once I am in remission I will still be visiting every 6 weeks to three months for tests to make sure I am staying in remission. I believe this frequency will last for one year then change to every six months for the rest of my life. Blue Cross Blue Shield loves me.
Also yesterday, the Doctors gave me an early report from my CAT scan from last Friday. The scans show no tumors in my Lymph Nodes, which means my cancer is not spreading. Woo Hoo!
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, I have Pet Scan at 6:00am which lasts two hours. I was supposed to have had this test last Friday but I accidentally drank the wrong kind of water before the scan, flavored water, and it had to be rescheduled. I then have a Fast Track at 12:00 and meet with Dr. Fanale, my oncologist or Chemo Doctor, at 1:00. She will give me the official report on how my progress and test results. My parents are flying in tonight to make this meeting. It is going to be great to see them, I have been incredibly home sick lately.
I received an email today from my Dear friend, Nancy Cammock who is also fighting cancer. Her CAT scan just came back showing the tumors as smaller and showing signs of death. It is great to hear this positive news, Go Nancy! I also received an email from a friend of the family, Elaine Jenkins, whose cancer has returned and she will be starting Chemo again next week. Please say a prayer for both of these ladies. It has amazed me how much more, and for how many people, I now pray for. Being diagnosed with cancer really changes a person's outlook. Go power of prayer!
Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for stopping by and Take Care!
I had my Last spinal tap, or intrathecal chemotherapy injection, last Tuesday. This was my 5th one. My Doctor, Dr. Groves, tells me he has done thousands of these without serious incident. But before every procedure I have to sign a release form saying, among other things, that I release them from all liability of pain, meningitis, headaches, nerve damage, paralysis and death. It is not a very comforting form to sign minutes before a rod is placed into the area of spine that runs to my brain.
In having all these spinal taps, I experienced one interesting example of experience trumping technology. The 3 rd procedure, the only one not done by Dr. Groves, was a guided procedure. This means a CAT scan was used so the Dr., whom in my case I think was younger than I am, could see my spinal interior during the procedure. After half-an-hour plus and attempting two different locations, she aborted the procedure because she was unable to draw any fluid. In contrast, Dr. Groves does his by first marking my back with Betadine, to bring out the contours of my spine and then choosing a location to guide the rod in. He says its by feel when he knows its in the correct position. The time of insertion to completion is about 10 minutes. This ability is a good example of who your doctor is making a big difference.
I don't know if they are related, but starting Thursday I began having headaches. I normally don't get headaches so this might be a result of the spinal tap. They have reoccurred every afternoon or evening since Thursday. They are not very painful --more annoying then anything else. But they, or the medication I'm taking to combat them, zap the energy from me. Katherine is worried and wants me to see Dr. Groves about them. She emailed their office last night and after speaking with the nurse today I learned the side effects from the spinal tap can last up to two weeks. She told me to drink a lot of caffeine and lie down.
I will find out the results of the tests on Monday. Which is a lot faster then anything I experienced in Birmingham. It took about two weeks for me to learn the results of the MRI's and X-Rays taken at St. Vincent's. There is a chance, a very small chance, that if the tests show the tumor is completely gone, I might be done and can come home early. Again, this is a long shot but still a shot. Plus, Katherine says, NO! For some reason, she wants me to go through all 8 rounds of chemo to make sure we kill all the possible stray cancer cells. So, like I said it's a small chance.
Also in the news, Katherine got her new laptop from her dad today. It's a top of the line Eurocom (top of the line computer brand) that is a couple of years old. So, it is still pretty cutting edge and nice to look at. We were able to watch the Pay per View of Alabama vs. University of Houston game on our Direct TV system. Since its not too far, we have thought about going over to the University of Houston and putting up some Roll Tide flyers this week.
I had my 6 th round of chemotherapy last Friday. We arrived at 12:00pm, were taken into the room about 1:00 and treatment started about 1:30. We left just before 9:15pm. Below you can see a picture of me lying in bed eating a late lunch. I had to go back on Saturday at 8:30pm for an immune booster shot; these shots have to be given approximately 24 hours after my chemo treatment. The side affects from this treatment have been pretty mild. The worst, so far at least, has been the nausea, which did a heavy dent in my appetite Saturday and Sunday. I am told this is a result of my body trying to get the poison out.
Today I have my last Lumbar Spinal Procedure. This is where they inject the chemotherapy directly into my spine as an insurance in case the cancer makes it in there. Given the shrinkage of the tumor, this has become much less of a concern. Of everything I have been through this procedure is probably the one I hate the most. Given that it involves a small rod being driven into my spine, and 1/12 th of my spinal fluid being drained while chemo is inserted. The side affects are usually a mild headache for a couple of days. I guess this procedure still makes me more nervous than I would like to admit. I didn't sleep a wink last night thinking about it. Again, thank goodness this is my last one.
I updated the about my cancer page with the history of my doctors and diagnoses. You can read the updated version here.
Sean left on Tuesday; we had a lot of fun times while he was here. We ended up playing chess almost the whole time. After three days we were tied 7 to 7. The unfortunate part is Katherine was extremely bored while we played. In fact, we literally put her to sleep more than once. Sorry Katherine.
Ms. Alabama dedicated a song to me at the Alabama Tourism Bureau's annual conference. I tried to upload her performance so everyone could watch in but it is a very large file at 133 megs. I kept getting error messages trying to upload it. Marylyn Stamps, who is a very close friend of the family and an employee at the Bureau of tourism, recorded her performance. I thank Ms Alabama for thinking of me enough to dedicate her song. I also thank Marylyn for recording the performance and reading my comments at the end (After she puts down the camera she stands up and reads comments I gave her).
Yesterday, I had a fast track for my upcoming chemo treatment. My port didn't work for drawing blood, and the lab technician had to use a needle to get it. I hate needles. The tests came back with everything normal; the most notable part is my liver counts went down. Last week those counts were a little high. The doctor said I could have a little bit of red wine sometimes, so I didn't think having half a beer would be bad. It's scary such a small amount has such a noticeable affect on my system... Won't be doing that again! With all my results being good I am ready for the chemo treatment tomorrow.
I was given one piece of mixed news; the bad is that I am scheduled for a Lumbar Spinal Procedure on Tuesday. The good part is that this will be last one. In my opinion the Spinal Tap chemo treatments have been worse than the liquid chemotherapy treatments. Having a needle stuck into my spine is a very unpleasant experience. I am thankful I have one of the best doctors at the hospital performing the procedure. I cannot express how much I am dreading this procedure and how thankful I am it's my last one.
After my Fast Track visit, since my blood wasn't drawing through my port I made a visit to Infusion Therapy, the place that installs and manages the ports. During this visit I learned that if my port isn't giving a proper blood return, it couldn't be used for my chemotherapy treatment. Which means an IV will need to be inserted for the seven hours my treatment lasts. Another needle! The good news is half of my port works fine. It flushes great, which means fluids can be inserted. In other words, you can put stuff in me but can't get anything out.
The nurse at Infusion therapy explained a blood clot had probably formed at the mouth (the part inside me) of the port, stopping the blood return. Yesterday they injected a drug, forgot the name but nurse today nicknamed it Drano, to break the clot. If it worked partially, opened only 1 line, they would replace the port, called an exchange. This wasn't an appealing option either considering it involved putting me to sleep and running a new line into my vein. Fortunately, today when I went back to Infusion Therapy to see if the Drano worked, it gave a nice blood return. So I am not going to need an IV inserted for chemo or be put to sleep for a new port. This was a big relief.
I created a page about my cancer and included pictures from my MRI, CAT and PET scans. If you don't like to see medical images I strongly advise you not to visit this page.
In other news Katherine has been an outstanding chef this past week. She has used her inside grill for Tilapia, Salmon, Orange Roughy and tonight Scallops. Dinner has been outstanding!
Thank you for stopping by, God bless.
My best friend, Sean, is visiting for a few days. His flight arrives at 3:30 today and he's staying until Tuesday. I'm glad he's visiting, and when Shean's around --everything's fun. It feels good to see old friends from home.
The past couple of days I've been doing some work for my dad to stay busy. (Silly me for asking for work.) He threw me a HARD case to research. It's a good thing I like a challenge and have plenty of time... Really, though, I've enjoyed working remotely and being of help. For a while, I've been feeling somewhat useless being stuck out here, and the work makes me feel closer to home. I'm glad to be doing it.
My Dr. appointment and blood tests were both good Friday. All my counts, my important counts anyway, are within their normal ranges. Life, literally and metaphorically, is good.
My next, and 6 th of 8 th , round of chemo is next Saturday. Given that I have chemotherapy every 21 days I should be done by early November. Or as the Dr put it, there is an 80% chance that this chemo routine will wipe out my tumor and I will never have to worry about it again. So, I guess there is an 80% chance I will be here through early to mid November. After chemo down time and the tests they have to run this will put me home mid November to early December.
There is a small chance, I'm told 1 in 1000, that I will be through with the chemo after the 6 th round (as far as Katherine's concerned, it's 1 in a million --she wants me to do as many as possible so that there's less chance it comes back). This is such a small chance it's almost not worth getting my hopes up but I am anyway. It's going to depend on how my next round of tests, PET and CAT scans come back. I can only hope this tumor has responded to the chemo well enough that I am done after this next round.
Also in the news, my Mom left Tuesday, and I miss her. Her flight went well, she said there were only 10 people on it. Also, I'm priveledged to have had Miss Alabama dedicated a song to me at the Alabama Tourism Convention last Tuesday night. This was a surprise and I cannot thank her enough for doing so. Worth mentioning -Katherine has baked some sugar free cookies, which are surprisingly good. It's her Mom's recipe for all natural sugar free cookies. I also made a little Flash animation for the IReallyHateCancer.com logo at the top of the page.
POST CLARIFICATION for 07/31/2007: Oh.. by the way, in an earlier posting I said I won cancer patient of the week and had a picture of me holding some flowers. This was a joke, the flowers were Katherine's, and I was posing with them. There is no cancer patient of the week award. Sorry for the confusion and false congratulations. We just thought it was a funny thing to say considering how I look in the pic.
Well, its been a week since my last round of chemo and the Crimson Tide Won. My Potassium was low this week so they had to give me some horse pills and an IV drip into my IV line to get my levels up. The drip looked liked a baby bottle and went into the IV line inserted into my arm for three hours. Very weird experience to look at it but Katherine watched the time and I didn't have to have in it there any longer than necessary. Another game today, Woo Hoo, its on ESPN too Can't get much better than this.
In other news I have been playing a computer game called Oblivion which my computer messed up today and I need to start over. Fortunately I wasn't that far into it so it shouldn't take me too many hours to catch up where I was. Update: the my saved game files were still there after I reinstalled the game. I didn't have to replay everything to get to back to where I was.
Katherine is doing well and all is good on all other front.
Thanks for stopping by.
5th Round of Chemo Today. Wish me luck
First part of the day was interesting; work crews cut the water main off to the entire apartment complex (over a 1000 units) to work on a telephone pole at about 9am this morning. No notice it was going to be shut off. It wouldn't have been such a big deal except I needed to go Infusion Therapy to have my pic line bandage changed and I haven't showered in 2 days (when all you do is stay in the apartment resting you can get away with this). Finally at 3 my Mom and I decided I would just have to stink and we were ready to go get the bandage changed. And as fate was sure to provide, as soon as we were walking out the door the water came back on. So I took a quick shower and we went to the hospital with me not smelling like a pig pen.
God my father walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses in Jesus name Amen

I was discharged from the hospital on Thursday, for a total of 8 days since I was admitted. I am still very tired and sleeping most of the time but doing well and getting better. The Dr's best guess is I had a very early stage of pneumonia which the antibiotics wiped out before they could get a good sample of. But I had all the classic symptoms and responses so that what we are going with. Some of the tests they ran to figure this out were not fun.
Thanks for stopping by.
I'm feeling much better, but it looks like I will be in the hospital until Monday at least. It looks like they caught an early stage of pneumonia in my right lung. Theyve been giving me heavy doses of antibiotics, and I think its clearing up. Monday morning they are going to give me an X-ray. If that turns out good and my fever continues to stay down I think I can go home. If not --more tests will be needed. If I continue to feel the way Im feeling now, I should be going home Monday. Im almost eating complete meals again!
Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers and thoughts. I continue to hear of so many people, churches, Sunday schools and other groups praying for me, and it continues to blow my mind. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Bless You!!! Please know that I say a prayer for everyone to be ok, and for God to help anyone who needs it.
Love you all,
I still have my fever, 5 days now, so Dr. Fanale wants me to go to the emergency room and be admitted to the hospital before 8:30pm tonight. I am not looking forward to this but I have got to do what I have got to do. I just hope they can quickly figure out what is wrong with me.
Hello everyone,
As of right now, overall, I feel OK, not great, but OK. My temperature is still hovering around 99.5-103. My nausea for Saturday and Sunday was horrible, the worst it could be. I have eaten 2 bowls of rice and bowl of Chicken broth since Saturday and I'm still not very hungry. Today the nausea is a lot better and I haven't had to take nearly as many pills to keep it under control. I am going to try and eat some Chicken Soup for Dinner. I believe I can do it!
Thanks for stopping by, and God Bless.
The New Computer will be here Thursday! After it's loaded and configured updating the site will be a lot easier again.
As for me, right now everything is going good. I believe I am past the worst of the side effects from my last round of chemo. Today was also the last night of my taking the steroid part of the treatment. For five days after the liquid is administered I take heavy doses of Prednisone. This the P in The R-CHOP program I am on. I have learned that heavy does of steroids make you hungry.
Thursday is Lumbar Spine Chemo Injection day. This time it will be fully administered by the Lymphoma department, no more Dr. Groves. One other difference, this one is supposed to be a guided injection, where there is a machine scanning me as they administer the injection. Before, Dr. Groves painted the vertebrae and inserted the needle between the correct ones. I don't know why we are using a machine this time but I am curious enough to ask. I will post any pictures we get.
Thanks for stopping by,
So far my fatigue isn't keeping me in bed much. For the most part I'm doing a lot of reading while Katherine works on her grad program. She is finals until the end of next week. Between her care provider time and finishing her classes she has a full plate right now. I couldn't ask for anyone to give more than what she is giving me right now.
We are still juggling computers and I am told my new one will be shipped no later than Tuesday. Until then, I am way behind on responding to email and this projects but will get caught up once it arrives.
Thank you for stopping by and take care,
Bad news!
The fan doesn't sound like it is running correctly and the bottom of the case is hot. Given this, and other problems I have been having, my guess is she is overheating and the emergency heat cut off is shutting it. She will stay on for about 10-30 minutes in safe mode before completely dying and loosing all power without warning --which has given me just enough time for this update. We are also having problems with Katherine's power supply. Her charger has a broken pin and it only makes a connection when plugged in the computer at a certain angle. We can still use the computer on battery but it is difficult to charge it back up. I called Alienware today, and my new computer might ship this week. I explained our situation and they said they would try to hurry the construction. I am probably looking at next week before I have my new system running. I will try to get another update up before the but I'm juggling here. In other news I have my fourth round of chemo on Friday. Thanks for stopping by, will keep everyone updated as technology permits.
Wednesday: We moved into our new apartment and love it. It's amazing how much small stuff we have already acquired since moving out here. It took three trips from the hotel to the apartment to get everything. A large part of which are clothes and items my parents have left so they don't have to carry as much when traveling back and forth.
8:45 AM FAST-TRACK LAB COLLECTION - Lymphoma Clinic 6th Floor near Elevator B.
As you can see, there is 20 minutes scheduled for my second Fast-Track visit before my next appointment. This visit usually lasts between 20-45 minutes depending on what I go over with the Doctors and/or Nurse. While possible if everything goes right, 20 minutes is not a realistic amount of time for the appointment. I explained the time constraints with the Lymphoma staff and we worked it out so as long as I was back before 12 they would probably see me. If I didn't make it by then, it would be later in the afternoon. They are very firm about the lunch schedule.
While my Red Blood Cell count and Hemoglobin counts are I low, they are considered within a healthy range for a cancer patient. The Hemoglobin was the one my nurse spent the most time explaining. From what I understand, Hemoglobin is the part of the Red Blood cells responsible for carrying Oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. The low counts of my Red Blood Cells and Hemoglobin are likely the source of the fatigue I experience sporadically throughout the day. It makes sense that if my body is low on cells transporting oxygen I would be getting tired. In a nutshell, the big purpose for these Fast Tract visits is to make sure I don't need a blood transfusion of these important elements. Which I don't, I am a long way from it.
As I write, Katherine and I are packing up to move into our new apartment. This will be our last night at the Holiday Inn, which has been a great home for these past several weeks. We have made friends with many of the staff and their hospitality has been second to none. If anyone ever needs to stay at or near MD Anderson Medical, you will not find a more dedicated team of people making up a first rate service. They offer everything from a place to stay to full shuttle access to every part of the hospital complex. But we are very happy about getting out own place and once again having an oven to cook with.
Slate and Katherine
Hello Everyone,
The 7:15 and 9:30 Fast-Track consist of a blood test at 7:15 and then meeting with doctor or nurse practitioner at 9:30 to go over the results. The purpose is to see how my blood counts are responding to the chemotherapy treatments. The Fast-Tracts are done once a week, but this was the first time an 8:00am procedure was listed between the two lab visits. The only information I had on the procedure is what is on my schedule. My guess, though, is it's my every two-week lumbar spine chemo injection. Unfortunately, this turned out to be right. A page with the exact details of the Lumbar Spine Procedure will be coming soon, but, in short, the procedure is a spinal tap where the spinal fluid is first drawn and then a special kind of chemotherapy is placed into the Lumbar portion of the fluid cavity around my spine (see picture).
This is my third spinal tap and second injection using this treatment (I am on two treatments from two different departments), and when they first proposed it, it was explained as extra insurance in case the cancer progresses further. They say this is increasingly unlikely, but if it did, I run the risk of brain cancer. From one perspective, the procedure is like paying for extended rent-a-car insurance. You don't really want it, you don't think you are going to need it, but you are glad you have it just in case you find a big scrape down the side of the car after a movie. The entire procedure lasts about an hour and half and breaks down roughly:
Dr. Morris Groves, who is Director of Neuro-Oncology in the Brain and Spine Center (a completely separate department from the Lymphoma department), is the one who performs my procedure. This appointment was in the Lymphoma department, so he had to make a special trip from the Brain and Spine Center, 6th floor to 2nd floor. Normally, the doctors or nurses in the Lymphoma department handle this procedure. It's considered fairly standard and routine, but, due to the sensitive location of my tumor, the Brain and Spine center began giving me the injections. I have been very thankful and privileged that Dr. Groves has been handling it for me so far (VERY, VERY, VERY THANKFUL –I have full confidence in every member of the medical teams working on me, but… IT'S MY SPINE!!! Oh, have I mentioned I have a phobia of needles?). This time they injected Cytarabine a different drug from the last spinal injection. Because of the doctor's busy schedule, preparation for the procedure didn't begin until after 11:00, so Katherine and I spent a lot of time in the waiting room reading. We also waited until after the procedure to finish the Fast-Track lab appointment. After marking my back up, injecting the local anesthesia, taking the spinal fluid, and injecting the chemo, we were done with the actual procedure by 11:45. I rested in the room until close to 1pm, and then we went over my blood work. My thanks to everyone who was involved in the procedure. Dr. Groves, APN. Monica Gilliam (who goes by Mona), and Nurse Goley Richardson.

Hello All,
I'm feeling much better following my last round of Chemotherapy from Saturday. Sunday was ok, but Monday and Tuesday were pretty much bad days. Today, I would say I'm about 80% back to normal but still fatigued and finding it difficult to concentrate on any one task for too long. For Monday and Tuesday, my nausea wasn't as bad as last the treatment --but I also hit the anti-nausea meds a lot earlier and harder this time! The doctors tell me I am still holding up above average but as the treatments progress, the fatigue and side effects will probably increase. The good news is the next treatment, August 11 th , will be my fourth, which means I will be halfway done!
What do the side affects of my chemotherapy feel like? The closest I can compare it to is the general yucky-ness felt after a bad case of the flue. Thirsty, tired, aching, depressed and that general not so good feeling that you just can't shake until it goes away. I have defiantly felt worse but the side affects tend to linger for several weeks following treatment.
My parents went home today, they stayed an extra day to make sure I was ok. Again, I cannot express how much their support and commitment to my health has meant the past several months. The same is true for Katherine. It's one thing to know someone is always there for you, its another to actually experienc
e them being there. All I can say is that it feels PHENOMENAL!!!
Below are a couple of pictures I thought people might enjoy. The Left: Katherine and I were (Oh, Slate, don't give the suspense up so quickly! -- written by Katherine while editing on promotional set at Edward's Cinema. The 2 nd picture is of my father reminiscing with a distant cousin he ran into at the MD Anderson aquarium. Who knew?
Thank you all for reading; hope all is well with everyone!
Love to Blessings to All,Slate
Hello Everyone,
Here is a recap of my weekend in the world of my cancer treatment. Friday, Katherine, my mother and father met with my Lymphoma Oncologist, Dr. Fanale. The following is the update:
The results of the scans show the tumor shrinking and pulling back from the spine. The treatment looks like it is working and everything looks great.
Even though the progress report is excellent, she is still anticipating my needing the full 8 rounds treatment to make sure it never comes back.
I realized how close this problem was to being a lot worse. The tumor has been sitting and squishing the second layer of my spinal cord. It had/has also been growing up the nerves leading into my spine. In particular, it was trying to grow into my cerebral cortex, the part that holds the spinal fluid that my brain sits in. She explained if the lymphoma made it into the spinal fluid, I would have been looking at cancer in the brain and the rest of my spinal chord. I learned if I had not started treated when I did, it is likely of the cancer would be reaching this stage by now. What's really scary is that I was trying to get help for 9 months before I ended up here. If I hadn't started treatment when I did, things would have been A LOT worse! Close call!
others giving up their day just to be with you, even when they don't have to.
I have noticed myself a lot more tired following this round of chemo. Today I have been sleeping a lot. At 5 I had to go to the hospital for a booster shot. This is one they stick in the back part of my shoulder, we have pictures. We parked in the parking deck and Katherine tried to validate the ticket before we saw the drs. The idea was that it wouldv be cheaper to validate now, then wait until we leave when the price goes up. It was a noble effort but the idea didn't work. We had to go back up to the validation machine and get a new ticket.
That's all for today. This week I am going to work on making this site look nicer and more functional.
Thank everyone for stopping by and readying,Slate
Good News and more coming tomorrow. We met with the Dr. today and the therapy is working!!! There will be more posted tomorrow. We love you all, God Bless!
Guess what? IReallyHateCancer.com is online for the first time! Guess what else? My name is Slate McDorman; I have cancer and hate it! But after living the past seven weeks in Houston while receiving treatment at MD Anderson Medical Hospital, I realize how fortunate I am compared to so many others who have similar stories. This site will serve as my portal to friends, family and the world on the latest news of my condition and what Katherine and I are up to in Houston.

Your answer is one click away!
I'm developing my wrapper over flexbox in react: https://github.com/aush/react-stack. I have a top level component that creates a container div and sets flex properties to it and also I map over it's children and set flex properties to them (I don't create additional wrapper divs for children, just set flex properties directly to them). And it's works flawlessly except one case.
My component, stripped down:
export default ({ someprops, style, children, ...rest }) =>

React.Children.map(children, (child, i) =>
{ key: i, style: { ...child.props.style, ...flexItemStyle } }))
Consider this simple example, when all children are just standard divs:

1

2

3

<Horizontal grow={1}>

4

5

6

Now, let's say I have these two react components:
BuggedComponent and
NotBuggedComponent and put them as children:
const BuggedComponent = ({ children }) =>

{children}
;
const NotBuggedComponent = ({ children, ...rest }) =>
It comes down to how much control over own child components does the dev intends to hand out to the consumers. In this case the
BuggedComponent is generating a child div and it makes sense for it to pass on the rest properties to it. However, if the child would have been a more complex control where allowing arbitrary attributes does not make sense, there won't be a need for passing them down. Yours is a very specific case where you need absolute control over what class the child control has, but this may not be true in a general scenario. A good example is the very popular material-ui library, if you look at any complex control, it minutely controls the allowed props and almost never passes them down. It could make keeping inner-markup change-proof very difficult, apart from the simplest of cases.

Crystal Palace defender Joel Ward says he has not given up hope of playing for England.
Ward was overlooked by Roy Hodgson for the forthcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Estonia despite England's right-back shortage.
But the 24-year-old said: "As long as I am playing football, I will never stop dreaming of that. If that came about, that would be amazing."
Palace face Chelsea at Selhurst Park after the international break and Ward believes Neil Warnock's side can upset the Premier League leaders. Palace beat Chelsea 1-0 in the corresponding fixture last season and Ward said: "We have to respect them because they are world-class players. But it is 11 v 11 and, if we do our jobs, there is no reason why we can't stop them and frustrate them like we did last season."
Five question for Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock during the international break?
Five question for Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock during the international break?
1/5 Where are the points coming from?
There was plenty of doom and gloom when Tony Pulis left as the odds plummeted in favour of Palace dropping back to the championship in their second season. But Neil Warnock has already surprised a few and went unbeaten until Saturday's defeat at the KC Stadium. The loss at Hull was a reality check for fans riding on the tidal wave of successive victories and shooting for the stars, but Warnock must ensure a defeatist attitude does not creep back onto the terraces at Selhurst Park. Few will expect the 65-year-old to lead his team to victory over an unbeaten Chelsea side, but subsequent games against West Brom and Sunderland will provide the perfect opportunity to re-establish a winning habit. With Liverpool and Manchester United to face in November, it's important the gap to the bottom three remains significant.
2/5 How will Palace cope in Scott Dann's absence?
Crystal Palace fell to defeat at Hull City on Saturday to end Neil Warnock's unbeaten league record, but that was far from the worst news Eagles fans digested at the weekend. The club are waiting on the results of a scan on Scott Dann's knee after he was injured in the first half against Steve Bruce's men. The former Birmingham and Blackburn man has been a rock for the Eagles, bringing calm to a defensive four that has already seen five different configurations this season. Fans will tell you it is no coincidence that he was substituted before Arsenal scored a late winner at the Emirates on the opening day and subsequently missed the disappointing defeat to West Ham a week later. Without the 27-year-old, it is likely Warnock will move Martin Kelly to a central role and play Adrian Mariappa on the right, a worryingly make-shift solution with Jose Mourinho's steamrolling machine arriving at Selhurst immediately after the international break.
3/5 When will Zaha get his chance?
Wilfried Zaha was welcomed back to Selhurst Park like a long lost son. For the 21-year-old it was viewed as a chance to revitalise his career after a torrid season under David Moyes at Manchester United. With Louis van Gaal's arrival at Old Trafford, Zaha was again shunted to the fringes and opted for a loan move back to Crystal Palace over another season wasting away on the United bench. He burst back onto the scene grabbing a last-gasp equaliser at Newcastle, but has just one league appearance to his name since those heroics in the north-east. Zaha has struggled to dislodge wingmen Jason Puncheon and Yannick Bolasie, but Palace fans will expect to see more of the man who headlined their promotion charge in 2012-13. The United man started against Burnley the last time a tired Bolasie returned from midweek international duty and will have his eye on a period in January when the DR Congo man misses a portion of the Premier League calendar because of the African Cup of Nations.
4/5 How to mastermind another win over Chelsea?
Chelsea are much stronger this season and while Palace may have greater strength in depth and look improved across the board, Tony Pulis has gone and with him a sense of defensive security and consistency. Palace were a strong force going forward and weak at the back in a thrilling draw at Newcastle, before a winning performance at Everton which had all the hallmarks of a sturdy Pulis team. Their chances of beating the Blues will depend on their ability to remain steely at the back, a task made harder by the anticipated absence of centre-half Scott Dann. Fortune favoured the Eagles last season, as John Terry inadvertently headed the Palace winner before Fernando Torres ballooned a late chance when well-placed. The odds are again stacked against Palace, but a repeat of the Goodison Park heroics, coupled with a healthy dose of good fortune and lightning could strike twice.
5/5 Who to sacrifice as Chamakh nears full fitness?
Marouane Chamakh is one of the more technically gifted footballers at Selhurst Park and his return to full fitness can only be a positive thing. The Moroccan was injured in Palace's thrilling 3-3 draw at Newcastle in August, and came off the bench against Hull to mark his return after four matches on the sidelines. He is bound to come back in against Chelsea, but who will make way for the 30-year-old? Deadline day arrival James McArthur has impressed alongside Mile Jedinak in a deeper midfield role, while Joe Ledley put in a strong performance ahead of the pair, in Chamakh's regular position, at home against Leicester City. Chamakh came on for Frazier Campbell as Warnock hurled the kitchen sink with the at Hull, but it is likely Ledley will drop out for the visit of Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Barry Bannan wants to use the international break to impress Warnock and force his way into the Palace side. The midfielder has not played in the Premier League since Warnock took over at Selhurst Park but he is in the Scotland squad for Euro 2016 qualifiers against Georgia and Poland.
"You have got to look at guys like Alan Hutton in the past, he was not playing for his club [Aston Villa] and came away and played really well," said Bannan. "The only thing I can do when I go away is do well in training to get into the Scotland team.
"It is obviously disappointing that I am not playing but hopefully if I do well here, it will impress the gaffer and I will get the chance."Reuse content

About the Creator
Hi There! I'm Dave Grower, Owner of "Dave's Different Perspective Photography". I am here after numerous suggestions from my many friends who believe that my skill with the camera is "special". I firmly believe that my "skill" with the camera comes from the fact that I have been blind in my left eye since birth. The view through the "lens" is the other half of my vision. It is how God compensated for my defect... by giving me a "Different Perspective"! I am a published author of four "blurb" books: "The Landscapes and Balloons of the West" "The Morning and Evening Skies of the West" "The Beautiful Blooms of the West" "The Picturesque Parks of the West".

Farewell, Reading Rainbow
Were you one of us kids who were regularly urged to "take a look, it's in a book, it's Reading Rainbow?" Now, after more than 20 years on the air, the show about the joys of reading is ending its run on PBS. Here's more:
The program aired its final episode Friday, wrapping a more than two-decade run that began in 1983. Reading Rainbow, hosted by LeVar Burton, was designed to spark a love for books in its young audience.
The once-popular show's ratings had slipped and production on new episodes stopped several years ago, PBS said. Along with the end of the broadcasts, the Reading Rainbow site at pbskids.org will be discontinued in December.
Sad! As a kid, I always had my nose buried in a book, so there was pretty much nothing better to me than a TV show about books. Those were the pre-DVR, pre-Internet days, and I remember trying to quickly write down the titles of books featured on the show that I wanted to check out at the library. And I loved LeVar Burton ("but you don't have to take my word for it").
What about you? Did you watch Reading Rainbow?

Celebrity chef Paula Deen, who is under fire after she admitted using a racial slur, said in an emotional TV interview on Wednesday that she is not a racist.
Deen said, "I believe that every creature on this earth, every one of God's creatures, was created equal." She also insisted she's not racist and that there have been "some very hurtful lies said about me."
"I don't know, I have asked myself that so many times. I go into my kitchens and hear what these young people are calling each other. It's very distressing for me. I think for this problem to be worked on these young people are gonna have to take control and start showing respect for each other," said Paula Deen to Matt Lauer who asked her if people find the n-word racist.
"I know my love for people, and I'm not going to sit here and tell everything I've done for people of color. I would never hurt anyone on purpose," she continued. "I'm heartbroken. I've had to hold friends in my arms while they've sobbed because they know what has been said about me. It's not true."
And then she said, "I is what I is and I'm not changing."
"If there's anyone out there that has never said something that they wish they could take back, please pick up that stone and throw it so hard at my head that it kills me," she said. "Please. I want to meet you."
Also, to ass to her woes, retailer Walmart said it was cutting ties with the chef. "We are ending our relationship with Paula Deen Enterprises," Walmart spokeswoman Danit Marquardt toldReuters.

text: The Real Meaning of Trauma iamkarel November 21, 2015 News, Read, Recent In the Midst of Trauma by Charles Karel Bouley I've been trying to find something to compare the horror that I feel; some other life experiences people go through that tear their souls out, that rip their heart literally out of their chest so they simply don't want to live. One minute I'm walking my two beloved dogs, the 50 pound, 10-year-old chow chow Atilla and the personality-filled bundle of 11 pounds of love, the four year old Pippa Maria, crossing a street with the light talking on the phone to friends and the next Pippa is being horribly mangled in front of me by a woman that simply didn't see us on the sidewalk and turned left full speed. The blood, the mangled body, the horror of finding my other dog who appeared all right and getting to the nearest vet, her blood soaking my clothing, the noises a creature makes as it's dying. The love of my life, my energy, the light of our house, crumpled, bleeding, broken because the sun was in someone's eyes. Atilla appeared to be OK after a check, and we came home, silently. I stripped naked in the front room, the blood soaked clothing being put in to a bag. I ran to the shower and played out a scene from "Carrie," washing the caked on blood off my arms, my legs, all over, watching it mix with the water and swirl down he drain. The blood of my little girl, of my Pippa. The girl who for almost three years helped us come to life, the girl I found on Valentine's day in a pet store cage, walking on her hind legs to see me. Gone, forever. In a horribly gruesome way. And why? All the stages of grief start, anger, denial…wait, the vet may call and say….acceptance is a long way off. Short of watching my husband die in front of me in the ER, this was the worst thing ever. And now the person I was to become. As I sat screaming in the middle of 7th street in Long Beach, the dead body of my girl in my arms, blood everywhere, as I searched for my Atilla, where is he, is he OK as I sat there at that moment I was never more out of control or alone in my life. I was never more…vulnerable, more human. I was raw, I was horrified. I still am. And I will be. I will cry every day for weeks or months and then only a few minutes a day for the rest of my life when the thought comes to mind. I will fixate on Atilla, who is not OK, and hope that whatever is wrong with him will pass. He's 10, this has given him whiplash so to speak, so he's on an anti-inflammatory and pain med for a few days before we go full scale vet. As for me, I have no interest in anything at all. My radio show….I did a few but shouldn't have. They are too raw for people too hear, too much real emotion for the average person to deal with. People don't want to hear real emotion any more, the real cost of our actions. I can't watch my TV show Life In Segments, Pippa is in half of this next season. She was always there, next to me, on my lap, my little girl. And how do I forget the ending of our time together? How do I do all that self help crap about remember the good, be grateful for the short time you had, remember her love. Right now, I remember washing the blood and bits of her off of me. A child run over in front of a parent on the way to school; a best friend of a soldier shot or blown up by an IED leaving him to carry the bloody dying body to help; a family in a car crash that sees a family member horribly die; or the countless pet owners that watch their loved ones die at the end of a leash when some driver just doesn't see. A refugee fleeing to safety that watches their child drown or their husband get shot…a couple sitting at a cafe that explodes suddenly in gunfire or bombing and one is horribly killed….people going out to watch a movie that end up with their best friend's blood on them…I suppose there's no shortage of horror or terror in the world and while many of you may think mine pales by comparison trust me, it doesn't. The pain is as horrible as the day after Andrew died. I've spoken on air since about adjectives and how the news cycle has made us numb to what they really mean. For instance, did you know that one person every two hours, or 12 a day or 4380 people a year die on crosswalks, and over 250 a day are injured. Now, what if I told you that ISIS was going to kill 12 Americans a day until we did something about it. As many people die annually on crosswalks as did on 9/11 and we haven't spent three trillion dollars on roadway safety. Why? Why do pedestrians and vehicles even mix? The crosswalk system was invented, well, when roads were. But even the Romans knew to elevate crossways of busy roads. We build walkways over or under trains, yet in the last ten years under 500 pedestrians have been killed by them. We make railroad stops that have flashing lights, wooden barriers and so much more but crosswalks we just paint some lines and call it day. Taylor Swift gives out bracelets at her concerts that change color to the music, each and every song but we don't have a lighting system to alert drivers people are walking? Our infrastructure is falling apart at the seams, cities need to be rethought and rebuilt from the ground up smarter and we can't start with elevated crossways on any intersection with more than two lanes of traffic flowing in any one direction (meaning four lanes or more)? Pedestrian tunnels? Barriers that rise when people are on the crosswalk? We really, truly, can't do better than some painted lines that thousands die and more are injured on annually? Because ever dog run over, ever person hit and killed or injured is someone's family member, someone's loved one, someone's Pippa. "I was a cop for 25 years," the Uber driver told my friend Hanna as she was on the phone with me telling her my story on speaker. "I can't tell you how dangerous crosswalks are, how many times we were called out for someone getting hit while legally crossing the road." This from the CDC: How big is the problem? In 2012, 4,743 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States, and another 76,000 pedestrians were injured.This averages to one crash-related pedestrian death every 2 hours, and a pedestrian injury every 7 minutes. Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to be killed in a car crash on each trip. And more than one in every five children between the ages of 5 and 15 who were killed in traffic crashes were pedestrians. Pedestrians ages 65 and older accounted for 20% of all pedestrian deaths. So we are running over children, seniors, pets…and what is your city doing about it? Probably nothing. The City of West Hollywood has installed solar flashing reflectors at the cross walks; other Los Angeles county cities have put in crossing lights on the sidewalks, a few even elevated or raised them. But usually only the affluent areas. I ride a motorcycle. Everyone wants me to stop. They say it's too dangerous. Well, it appears the stats say that being a pedestrian carries about the same dangers because roughly 4400 riders die a year. And as for our pets, there's not even numbers on those. But there's lots of stories on the internet of people walking their dogs legally on leashes and they are run down right in front of them. And that's not even a crime. For instance, the woman that ran over my beloved Pippa and mangled and killed her, the ticket would be unsafe left turn or illegal left turn, a misdemeanor ticket. Financially, she could be liable for the price of the dog and any vet bills. The price of the dog, meaning, what you paid for it. And that's it. That's all. Kill someone's heart and that's the most that can happen. Grow a pot plant in some states go to jail for years. So I wake each morning to an empty bed, gone is the yawning ritual, the ears peaking out from under the blankets, the toe biting, the joy that my little girl brought to me every morning. Gone is Atilla's little sister, who made him get up and greet the day as well, and whom he protected from all harm, allowing her to run under him in times of danger. And like those I mentioned above, the horror of the incident replays in my mind every time I close my eyes or think of my little girl. And while that may pass in time, I have it now and I needn't. Horrific things happen instantly and when you least expect them. And they change you forever. And people expect you to just go on, to get over things, to move on. I've already been told to get another dog, and one day, I may. I know right now there's so many little girls (and boys) out there in shelters on concrete floors behind bars or in cages waiting for a forever home. And I know I, and Atilla, have lots of love to give. Right now, I'm in simple shock. I just want to sleep. I don't want to go to the motorcycle show, film my TV show, eat…I just want to cry, hug Atilla and, well, cry some more. To anyone that's gone through something traumatic, I'm sorry society just doesn't get it. I'm sorry that they've devalued words like horrific, mortifying, terror so that we hear them every day and they now mean so little. Because at 5:00am alone in bed, they mean so much. When I'm walking Atilla, alone now, me crying, him looking around for his sister, I know the meaning of mortified. And every single time I approach a cross walk in the United States where we don't seem to care about pedestrian safety, I will treat it like a war zone to survive.
