Ted Thompson and the rest of the Green Bay Packers front office will have to make 20 separate decisions on free agents this coming offseason.
The Packers leave 2013 with 17 unrestricted free agents (UFA), two restricted free agents (RFA) and one exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) to deal with. Below, we rank all 20 of Green Bay's free agents.
Note: Rankings reflect a combination of 2013 contributions, future projections and predicted chance of being retained.
20. RB Kahlil Bell, UFA
An emergency depth signing at running back, Bell played zero offensive snaps but saw action in three games on special teams. He returned one kick for 22 yards. With Eddie Lacy the clear starter and both DuJuan Harris and Johnathan Franklin returning from injury, there's simply no space or need for Bell to return. He'll go back on Ted Thompson's in-case-of-injury board.
19. QB Seneca Wallace, UFA
He'll be 34 by next August, and he's coming off season-ending surgery to repair a torn groin. That's not a great combination for a free agent quarterback, especially one who struggled during his limited playing time and appeared misfit for the Packers offense. His arm looked especially weak over 24 attempts and his mobility is nearly gone. The Packers are better off developing Scott Tolzien than giving Wallace another year.
18. S Chris Banjo, ERFA
Banjo is an exclusive rights free agent, which gives the Packers total negotiating power over his future. Why wouldn't he return? His unlikely emergence during last summer's training camp earned Banjo a roster spot, and he eventually became a key special teams contributor, totaling nine tackles with zero misses or penalties. He may not be an answer at safety, but there's little harm in bringing back cheap labor, especially at a position the Packers are so thin at.
17. S M.D. Jennings, RFA
The Packers have an interesting decision to make with Jennings, a 17-game starter in 2013. He's clearly unfit to be a starting safety in the NFL, and any defense with Super Bowl aspirations can't have him playing a primary role. But do the Packers want to keep him around by giving him a minimum tender or will they simply let him go loose? Green Bay can and should do better. But this is a team that gave Jennings 27 total starts over the last two seasons, and it's certainly possible they aren't yet ready to give up on him.
16. T Marshall Newhouse, UFA
Displaced as a starter, Newhouse regressed severely in 2013. And that's saying something considering how fantastically average he was as a 31-game starter from 2011-12. Newhouse played 261 snaps this season but somehow gave up 21 total pressures, and his overall grade at Pro Football Focus finished dead last among Green Bay's offensive linemen. Over his two starts, Newhouse allowed 13 total pressures. And his brief stint at guard in Detroit will make your eyeballs burn. As long as the Packers feel good about the health of Bryan Bulaga and Derek Sherrod, Newhouse should be gone.
15. ILB Robert Francois, UFA
Francois has long been a core special teams player, but he's now 28 years old and coming off an Achilles' tear. The Packers have 2013 seventh-rounder Sam Barrington coming off injured reserve, and it's possible that Thompson will use a draft pick on an inside linebacker. Overall, Francois made just one special teams tackle before suffering the season-ending injury. It's probably time to move on.
14. DL C.J. Wilson, UFA
Once a starter at defensive end, Wilson played in just nine games and saw only 127 snaps in 2013. His best attribute is still holding up blocks against the run. The fact that the Packers have so many moving pieces on the defensive line, combined with the fact that Wilson won't demand much to retain, gives the former seventh-round pick a real chance to stick around. He still has use as a situational backup.
13. TE Andrew Quarless, UFA
Quarless would be higher up this list if the future of Jermichael Finley were more clear. He becomes much more important if Finley is not medically cleared to return to football. But instead of guessing on Finley, we'll break down what we know of Quarless. He's serviceable but underwhelming, and a starter only by necessity. Note that Quarless caught 32 passes for 312 yards and two scores over 16 games and 10 starts, while Finley had 25, 300 and three over just six games, two of which he was knocked out of early. In a perfect world, Quarless re-signs and then returns to being a very capable No. 2 tight end. We'll see.
12. ILB Jamari Lattimore, RFA
The Packers ought to tender Lattimore at the lowest level and then give him a fair shot—forget the money paid to Brad Jones—to start at inside linebacker in 2014. He might not be a significant upgrade over Jones, and he's certainly no NaVarro Bowman or Patrick Willis, but he at least showed some athletic ability and physicality when on the field in 2013. The Packers could use more of both on defense. Another year getting comfortable at inside linebacker could accelerate his development.
11. OLB Mike Neal, UFA
Four years into his NFL career, Neal finally played a full, 16-game season. The Packers transitioned him from defensive end to outside linebacker over the summer, and he went on to lead the team in overall quarterback hurries (37) and disruptions (46). He's still a work in progress as a 3-4 edge rusher, but there is some promise to be tapped into. In the long run, Neal might still be better suited as a 4-3 defensive end. He's expressed a desire to return, but it'd have to come at a price that benefits the Packers. The combination of a better situation and deal could certainly lure him away.
10. DL Johnny Jolly, UFA
Jolly was one of the great surprises of Green Bay's 2013 season. At 30 years old, Jolly returned from a three-year absence and once again became a valuable run defender for the Packers defense. He's coming off a neck injury and no longer has age on his side, but his likely price and obvious value to Green Bay make a reunion likely. Besides, Jolly should have a soft spot for this franchise, which took a risk it didn't have to take on his comeback to the NFL.
9. QB Matt Flynn, UFA
The unmitigated disaster that was the Packers backup quarterback situation in 2013 should provide incentive for Thompson to bring back Flynn, who failed in other starting gigs but once again looked at home in Green Bay. He doesn't have one above average attribute, but he knows the offense inside and out and again showed an ability to keep the Packers afloat when called upon. It simply wouldn't make sense for Flynn to entertain an offer anywhere else, unless the money is substantially more than what Green Bay puts on the table. That seems unlikely. Bring Flynn back at or near the veteran's minimum he deserves and forget about the worries at backup quarterback.
8. FB John Kuhn, UFA
The fullback may be endangered in the NFL, but the Packers have kept the position alive through Kuhn. While limited athletically, Kuhn has improved as a lead blocker and remains the offense's go-to pass protector. He's also a core special teams player, a leader in the locker room and a guy Aaron Rodgers trusts without question. If the price is right, bringing back Kuhn should be a no-brainer.
7. RB James Starks, UFA
I'll bang the drum for Starks' return, even if it looks unlikely. Once a hero of the Super Bowl run, Starks emerged in 2013 as one of the NFL's best backup running backs. And no, that's not an over-exaggeration. Starks ran for 5.5 yards per tote, averaged more yards after contact and a higher rate of missed tackles than Eddie Lacy and—maybe most importantly—stayed mostly injury free. The Packers kept him fresh and he looked oh-so-dangerous almost every time he touched the football. In fact, he averaged over 7.0 yards per carry over the final two games of 2013, contests in which the Packers probably should have used him more over a hobbled Lacy. Yes, DuJuan Harris and Johnathan Franklin will return and could back up Lacy without problem. But if Starks doesn't command big money somewhere, why not bring back Lacy, Starks, Harris and Franklin and then feature a position with as much talent and depth as any in football? Losing Starks would be a blow, in my humble opinion.
6. DL B.J. Raji, UFA
There simply aren't many human beings that weigh 330 pounds who can move as well as Raji does. That alone gives him immediate value, both to the Packers and to the rest of the NFL. But whether or not Raji returns will really come down to how much the Packers value him, and how badly Raji wants to continue playing in the 3-4 defense. In Dom Capers' system, Raji has been relegated to a two-down role in which he rarely gets opportunities to rush the quarterback. He might want to play in a defense that frees him to be a more disruptive inside rusher, much like he was early on in Green Bay. The Packers will then have to decide whether they want a former first-round pick, especially one that was hand-picked to be a cornerstone of their switch to the 3-4 defense, to walk without getting a second contract. He certainly didn't earn a big deal—the $8 million-a-year offer has already been tossed into the garbage and lit on fire—but he's a talent and a home-grown Packer. Raji will be the toughest decision of Thompson's offseason.
5. WR James Jones, UFA
Tough as nails, generally reliable and the polar opposite of a diva, Jones is an ideal match for what the Packers do on and off the field. He's also tested the market before and came up empty. Will that change once he turns 30 in March? His production has spiked since his last dealings in free agency, but teams don't typically break the bank for No. 2 or No. 3 receivers of his age. The Packers might also be ready to give more playing time to Jarrett Boykin, who emerged as a steady hand capable of being the No. 3 in 2014. But when you have Aaron Rodgers in his prime, you never want to take away trusted targets, especially if they come at a reasonable price. Something tells me Jones will be back on another manageable deal.
4. TE Jermichael Finley, UFA
Finley is probably the most difficult free agent to discuss. His health is a huge question mark, especially considering how cautious the Packers have historically been with neck injuries of Finley's type. Will team docs clear him? Will he be ready to play by the start of 2014? What kind of market would he have if cleared? These are all tough questions to answer right now. When healthy, Finley is a difference-making tight end who would have a sizable number of teams ready to make an offer. The position is also an important one in the Green Bay offense, and it showed when the middle of the field all but dried up in the passing game when Finley left in October. I find it difficult to envision the Packers clearing Finley medically and then satisfying him contractually as a free agent, but who knows. If he's cleared and projected to be ready by the start of 2014, he should become a priority for Green Bay.
3. DL Ryan Picket, UFA
Pickett will be 35 years old by next October, offers next to nothing as a pass rusher and there were signs of regression in 2013. But he's also the Packers best defensive lineman against the run, a leader in the locker room and he hasn't missed a game in two years. There shouldn't be too many teams lining up to offer him big money, so the Packers will have the option to retain him at a reasonable price. They should jump on that opportunity. If any combination of Raji, Jolly and Wilson leave, the Packers can't afford to see Pickett bolt. That's too much turnover up front. He probably has the best chance of any of the defensive linemen to return.
2. C Evan Dietrich-Smith, UFA
Many might scoff at the idea of EDS's placement on this list, but he was a rock-solid No. 2 from the get-go for me. He's made such significant strides that it would be a shame for the Packers to let him walk in free agency. According to PFF, Dietrich-Smith was the fifth-best center in the NFC and eighth-best overall in 2013. Plus, the Packers don't want Aaron Rodgers taking snaps from his fourth different center in as many years next season. Retaining EDS will maintain the always important cohesion along the offensive line, while also giving Green Bay a chance to feature its best five up front maybe in Rodgers' entire starting career. He should be a top priority.
1. CB Sam Shields, UFA
Shields is a no-brainer to round out the list. A potential shut down cornerback who is entering his prime in a passing league, Shields is more than ready to cash in. Will it be in Green Bay? The Packers gambled by not giving him a long term deal last season, instead extending the process out one year with a $2.023 million tender. Now, Green Bay is at the mercy of shark agent Drew Rosenhaus. The Packers have depth at cornerback, but losing out on Shields—a player plucked from the scrap heap who has gradually developed into a big-time player in Green Bay—would be a huge blow to Thompson's develop-and-retain style of roster building. Thompson must also know that letting a talent like Shields leave will do nothing to help fix a defense that is already lacking difference makers. Given the relative lack of good cornerbacks available in free agency, Shields will enter discussions with nearly all the leverage. For him to return, the Packers will likely need to swallow some pride and cave on a deal that almost certainly will favor the 26-year-old cornerback.

Smith is the first Mr. Football from Fort Wayne in the award's 21-year history.
"He is very gratified," Bishop Luers coach Steve Keefer said about Smith. "He tries to stay very humble and is focused on moving to Notre Dame and is working towards that."
Smith culminated his senior season last month with Bishop Luers' fourth consecutive state championship. He turned heads in that game by rushing for 150 yards and three touchdowns in addition to his usual dominant performance at linebacker.
But perhaps his biggest play of that 40-28 victory over Cardinal Ritter did not even count when he hurdled over an opposing defender while running the ball to the outside, bringing out a hurdling penalty call.
The play did not stand, but Smith's freak athleticism was on display.
For the season, Smith finished with 75 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and eight sacks. After not seeing the ball a lot offensively to begin the season, Smith came on in the second half of the season to finish with over 1,200 yards rushing and 18 scores.
The award is not just big for the Smith family, but also the Bishop Luers family.
"We have a great football tradition and some other sports aside from being a great academic institution," Keefer said. "Anytime you get an athlete of this caliber who brings state and national recognition to your school, it is gratifying."

I want to start off with a little background information. I started playing disc golf about 3 years ago, using one disc that I just picked off the shelf at Walmart because it said "Long distance Driver". It was a champion Starfire and I was only able to throw that disc sidearm with not very much distance or control. This year I decided to get back into disc golf, but a little more seriously this time. I started picking up a few more discs and a bag. Some of the discs I have now, and that I throw in the video, are ones I found and are still too much for my power.
-Champion Starfire 168g*
-Blizzard DD2 139g
-DX Destroyer (beat) 172g*
-Raging Inferno 168g*
-Z Buzzz 180g
-Z Buzzz SS 173g
-DX Leopard 164g
-JLS 173g
-Pro-D Focus
I have been working on RHBH technique for about 1.5 months now and have seen a huge improvement in overall accuracy and more predictable distance all around. I currently average maybe 250' with my longest drive being somewhere around 320'. I want to be able to throw 300'+ without even thinking about it. Along with any technique suggestions, I would also welcome any disc suggestions. I am thinking of picking up a Star Stingray ~ 150g, what are your thoughts?
In my video I throw all 9 discs, in no particular order. The discs with the (*) are ones, the last three, that I threw on an anhyzer using JR's signature notes. The rest were all thrown straight.
Without further ado, my video upload.


text: Pressure's on Mountaineer corners By Dave Hickman November 1, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN - With only one possible exception, no one is under a bigger microscope as West Virginia comes off its bye week than the Mountaineers' cornerbacks.Yes, it's hard to argue that it isn't Geno Smith in that position. Once the runaway leader in the race for the Heisman Trophy, Smith and WVU's offense have nosedived in the last two games. Righting that ship is paramount.But on the other side of the ball is the nation's worst pass defense. Unlike the offense, it isn't merely off its game. Its game hasn't been there all season, which is why of the nation's 120 FBS schools the Mountaineers rank dead last in passing yards allowed.While the pass defense problems are certainly a group effort, it is that small group of cornerbacks who are front and center.Both they and cornerbacks coach Daron Roberts know it."I can't speak [how they're handling it], but I told them that each one of them signed up to play cornerback,'' Roberts said. "And they also signed up to play in the Big 12. And so that's the life. No one's going to stop throwing the ball.''Next up is TCU (5-3, 2-3), which visits No. 23 West Virginia (5-2, 2-2) for a 3 p.m. game Saturday at Mountaineer Field. That the Horned Frogs are dealing with the loss of their starting quarterback, Casey Pachall, and making do with redshirt freshman Trevone Boykin seems rather inconsequential. West Virginia has defended star throwing quarterbacks, backups, freshmen and those know more for their running than their passing this season, and all have had success against the Mountaineers.To compound matters, West Virginia isn't very deep and not completely healthy at the position. Only two players, Pat Miller and Brodrick Jenkins, are veterans, and Jenkins missed WVU's 55-14 loss to Kansas State with a knee injury. His status for the TCU game is questionable, at best.Behind those two is a pair of true freshmen, Nana Kyeremeh and Ricky Rumph, both of whom are still learning both the defense and the college game itself. On this week's depth chart those two are listed 1-2 at one of the corner spots with Jenkins on the mend.It's a tall task manning the spots at the back end of a defense in the Big 12, but it's even harder doing it with freshmen learning their way and veterans struggling with a lack of success. The glare of the spotlight after so many failures doesn't help, either, but there's only one way to get that spotlight turned off. "They have to make plays. When you make plays it becomes a different story,'' Roberts said. "I told them to remember the questions they were getting after the Texas game. But you're only as good as your last play. That's what people remember.''Indeed, after the Texas game - a 48-45 win on Oct. 6 - the feeling toward the secondary was quite different than it is now. No, the Mountaineers didn't play lights out in Austin. Quarterback David Ash completed 22 of 29 passes for 269 yards and the Longhorns were the first of three consecutive teams to embarrass WVU's defense with wide-open receivers on wheel routes. The Mountaineers gave up only 269 yards passing, but that was in great part because of Texas' preference to run the ball. WVU at that time ranked 117th in the country in pass defense.But there were also signs of improvement, especially late in the game. West Virginia fought off two potential go-ahead Texas drives in the fourth quarter, once with a fourth-down pass breakup by Miller. It gave hope that more of the same was in store.It wasn't. Or at least that hasn't been the case so far. In the two games since, Texas Tech's Seth Doege and Kansas State's Collin Klein have combined to complete 51 of 63 passes for 822 yards, nine touchdowns and just one interception, that on a ball that hit a Tech receiver in the hands and he couldn't hold it. Doege and Klein both set personal records for passing yards.In an effort to mitigate the damage, Roberts and the rest of the defensive staff have attempted to simplify things like coverages and allow the corners and everyone else to play faster and without so much thought. "Just play fast,'' Roberts said. "We've tried to simplify the book so that they can just play fast and have fun doing it.''Throw in an off-week emphasis on tackling, communication and even catching the ball and the hope is that it is a different-looking defense that shows up Saturday against TCU. There have been signs of life in brief spurts, like at Texas, but they have to be far more consistent."We've shown the ability to go in and make some plays against a good offense,'' Roberts said. "We've got to do the same this week.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Overall, the price was right. This was a valentine's Day gift for my wife so, I had it gift wrapped for her. When she opened the box and took out the perfume...there was no lid to the bottle. Needless to say I was disappointed! Thankfully, she had just finished up the last bottle. So she just put that lid on the new bottle. Not a happy camper!

Muskingum College Opens 2003-2004 School Year With Convocation Address by The Wall Street Journal's Nik Deogun '91
AUGUST 27, 2003 - Muskingum College opened the 2003-2004 academic year on August 26 with its Opening Convocation, held on the campus. The featured address was given by 1991 Muskingum alumnus Nikhil Deogun who is the media and marketing editor for The Wall Street Journal in New York.
Introducing Deogun, Muskingum College President Anne C. Steele said, "Nik Deogun has used his many skills to serve our nation as well as his profession. We are privileged to call him a part of the Long Magenta Line."
Deogun's address to the Class of 2007 and assembled faculty and staff reflected on the importance of his Muskingum College experience on his life and a career.
He said, "I simply would not have achieved what I have so far--my career, my marriage, my family--without the experience and teaching I received from Muskingum. You, as students, will find, as I did, that the faculty and staff here will become the midwives for your aspirations."
Deogun oversees a group of reporters and editors who cover a range of industries, including television, entertainment, publishing, advertising, consumer products, food and beverage, retail, fashion and sports. He assumed the position in November 2001.
Prior to that, Deogun was the mergers and acquisitions reporter for The Wall Street Journal in New York. In that job, Deogun wrote extensively on some of the biggest takeovers in recent years, breaking news on scores of mergers, ahead of the Journal's competition. Beyond news scoops, Deogun has looked behind some major deals to analyze the pitfalls of many earlier mergers and the challenges for smaller companies to stay relevant when their industries are consolidating around them.
Deogun joined the Journal in 1994 in the Atlanta bureau, initially writing the Heard on the Street column for southeast Journal and then covering regional banking for the paper. He then covered the beverage and snack-food industry, particularly Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc.
Deogun grew up in Calcutta, India, and graduated summa cum laude from Muskingum College. He received a master's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia. He has worked or interned at a number of newspapers, including the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
He and his wife, 1991 alumna Allison Kimmich, have two children and live in New York.

HOUSTON - Hazardous cheesesteak and a dead rat. It's what we're serving up in this week's Restaurant Report Card.
We hope the folks in the culinary program at the Art Institute of Houston learned a lesson this week. When health inspectors stopped by the school's cafeteria, they found a dead rodent in the deli's storage area.
At Pho Hai Van at 12730 Scarsdale, inspectors said found live roaches in the food prep area.
Inspectors said there were roaches on the wall, floor, in the sink and on a prep table inside Restaurantes Las Leonerez at 6345 Windswept Lane.
KPRC Local 2 dropped by the Texadelphia at 920 Studemont to talk with a manager about 20 pounds of beef that was stored too hot in a cooling drawer. The meat, intended for your next cheesesteak sandwich, was condemned. By phone, the manager said the cooling drawer has been repaired and your cheesesteak is now safe.
We've got A's this week for the Taco Cabana on the Gulf Freeway near Airport Boulevard and Verona's Flying Pizza at 3995 South Gessner.

The University of Colorado Boulder named Kristi Wold-McCormick, PhD, as campus registrar, effective June 16. Wold-McCormick comes to CU-Boulder from North Dakota State University (NDSU), where she served as registrar for the past twelve years.
She's only been on campus for a few weeks, but already her office is home to a sizable herd of buffalo, including statues and paintings. NDSU is home to the "Bison," so the transition to becoming a Buff was not a difficult one.
"I came here because CU-Boulder has such a strong academic reputation. I loved my job at NDSU, but as I thought about the next step in my career to something bigger I thought that 'bigger' isn't just about size. It's the type of institution and what it stands for," said Wold-McCormick. "To me, AAU institutions are the ones setting the trends, solving the problems of today and being looked to by other institutions. I wanted to be a part of that."
As registrar, she is responsible for overseeing student records and regulating many common components of the student experience. This includes registration requests, enforcing the rules for enrolling in or exiting courses, maintaining class lists and schedules and maintaining a permanent record of grades. The Office of the Registrar is responsible for accomplishing all of this while maintaining the privacy and security of student records. As a team, they must stay on top of student data privacy laws so that they can protect students and meet the security requirements of governments and stakeholders.
Wold-McCormick explains that she and her office work primarily behind the scenes with the university's academic and administrative staff, doing much of the necessary work that allows the university to function day in and day out. They work closely with the Bursar's Office, Office of Financial Aid and many other units to assist with such activities as scheduling the general purpose classrooms, overseeing tuition classification due to residency, monitoring athletic eligibility and serving as custodians of student academic records.
"We work with academic departments, the grad school and the provost's office to coordinate and build the class schedule and to make sure that all of the university's degrees and programs are current in the system," Wold-McCormick says.
Wold-McCormick explains that overseeing the technological tools that support registration is also a major part of her job. She says that providing students with a seamless registration experience is one of her top goals.
"The Office of the Registrar also supports the student registration system (also known as 'MyCU Info'). We perform upgrades and fixes to continuously improve the technology and ensure that it is current. Our department is incredibly savvy at finding ways to create efficiencies and administer policies in a way that keeps us compliant and efficient."
The issue of compliance is another major focus of Wold-McCormick's work. She and her staff work to stay current on the policies set by state and federal legislators that dictate how students are tracked and reported. These and other legislative actions require the university to constantly reevaluate our compliance, while administering these regulations in such a way as to "make sure that things are minimally burdensome on our students."
For now, Wold-McCormick is still meeting people and learning about CU-Boulder. But her excitement is evident.
"I'm ready to have my hands in everything, and to identify better ways to provide services to students—be it transcript services, diploma services or tuition classification. I'm very excited to do what I can to improve the student experience through seamless, behind-the-scenes support for the academic mission of the university."

Prices and production
So far this week, oil has hovered around $65 dollars a barrel with very little news to move prices in either direction. The equity markets have been steady despite generally falling corporate earnings which, when they beat Wall Street estimates, are being interpreted as signs of economic recovery. The weekly stocks report showed US crude falling by 1.8 million barrels largely due to lower imports on the West coast. Gasoline, distillate, and propane stocks all increased, leaving the total US commercial inventories 1.9 million barrels higher for the week. As usual, distillate and jet fuel demand are down by 11 and nearly 14 percent respectively. Gasoline consumption over the last four-week period was up by 0.7 percent over last year, but then again gas prices are down by $1.60 a gallon as compared with July 2008.
Nigeria's petroleum minister noted that the country's production was down to 1.4 million b/d vs. a planned 2.2 million. Shell announced that it was resuming 65,000-70,000 b/d of production from a 115,000 b/d shallow offshore field that was shut down by militant attacks three years ago. Despite the current ceasefire, the militants promptly announced that they will attack the field again if production is restored.
Premier Wen announced that Beijing is going to use its $2.1 trillion in foreign exchange reserves to buy foreign assets. This is the first time that China has officially announced that it is government policy to directly support its large state-owned corporations by purchasing offshore assets.
China's purchase of non-financial assets reached $40.7 billion last year, up from $143 million in 2002. Oil and other natural resource assets are expected to be at the top of Beijing's shopping list.
The move is in response to China's concerns over the possibility that US deficits will eventually lead to devaluation of the US dollar.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
New 70mm print!
Made during the short-lived vogue for "epic" comedies featuring a who's-who of special guest stars (see Around the World in 80 Days and Pepe), Stanley Kramer's guiltily pleasurable madcap romp begins with a car accident in the Mojave Desert, in which the victim (Jimmy Durante) uses his dying breath to inform five passing motorists (played by legendary comics Sid Caesar, Jonathan Winters, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett and Milton Berle) of $350,000 in buried treasure that can be found under a "big W" in Santa Rosita State Park. Thus, the race is on, with grizzled police captain Spencer Tracy and an ever-increasing cavalcade of fortune hunters in hot pursuit. Featuring dozens of cameos by the likes of Jack Benny, Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis and even The Three Stooges, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World further enhanced its epic-ness by shooting in the ultra-wide Ultra Panavision 70 format, also known as single-camera Cinerama, yielding a 2.76:1 aspect ratio.

A Danville man whose two children were killed by a drugged driver in 2003 wants voters to raise California's nearly 40-year old limit on medical-negligence awards and force doctors to check a statewide database before prescribing narcotic drugs.
Bob Pack, supported by the Consumer Watchdog advocacy group, says his proposed ballot measure would prevent other families from suffering as his has.
"It's a simple and reasonable step forward that the Legislature should have taken decades ago," Pack, 58, wrote in a news release.
But medical organizations staunchly opposed the measure.
"We see this initiative as a very stark, trial-lawyer-sponsored attempt to increase their ability for a payday," Dr. Paul Phinney, the California Medical Association's president and CEO, said Thursday. "It will increase medical costs for everybody in the state without doing a thing to improve care. ... We think policy now should be directed toward lowering health care costs, not increasing them to benefit trial lawyers."
Jimena Barreto in 2005 was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Troy and Alana Pack, 10 and 7, and she is serving 30 years to life in prison. Already thrice-convicted of drunken driving, she had consumed a mix of alcohol, the painkiller Vicodin and muscle relaxants before driving that day.
In the weeks before the crash, Barreto had been given six Vicodin prescriptions by six different Kaiser Permanente doctors, who had failed to corroborate the injuries for which she claimed she needed the pills. The Pack family contends those doctors were never held accountable.
The Packs helped push the state to create a new prescription drug monitoring system that would prevent the kind of "doctor shopping" that let Barreto amass her pills. Pack's new measure would make it mandatory for all California doctors to use that system and also would tighten requirements for doctors to detect and report substance abuse among their peers.
But those aren't the controversial parts. The measure is contentious mainly because it would raise the $250,000 cap on damages for the loss of a child's life in medical negligence cases, and for other losses that don't involve medical bills or loss of wages.
The Packs were entitled to recover only the $250,000 limit for each of their children's lives; they note that $250,000 in 1975, when the cap was enacted, would be worth $58,000 today. The measure would adjust the cap for inflation, putting it at $1.1 million this year.
"For 37 years, injured patients in California have been denied access to justice and strong patient safety protections," Pack said. "This ballot measure begins to even the balance of power for innocent patients who are victimized by medical negligence and protects against dangerous and drug-abusing doctors."
Critics say it's a money-grab that will harm Californians even as the state tries to rein in health costs and insure more residents by implementing the national health care reforms. The measure "could not come at a worse time," said Kim Stone, president of the Civil Justice Association of California, in a news release.
The state is working to accommodate millions of new patients under the Affordable Care Act, Stone said. "The worst thing we could do is create greater incentives to sue medical providers and drive up their liability costs when there is already a shortage of providers to care for these new patients."
A Planned Parenthood leader also took issue with changing the award limit. There's no cap on economic damages, such as lost wages and medical bills, in such cases, said Kathy Kneer, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California.
Raising the non-economic damages cap would reduce women's access to health care, especially obstetrics, she said. Before the cap was enacted, Kneer said, many doctors could not afford the skyrocketing insurance premiums.
"Private OBs reduced practice, some even left the state," she said. "It impacted women regardless of their ability to pay."
After the state attorney general has prepared a legal title and summary for the measure, the secretary of state's office will clear Pack and Consumer Watchdog to start circulating petitions. At that time, they'll have 150 days in which to gather valid signatures from 504,760 registered voters -- 5 percent of the total votes cast for governor in 2010 -- in order to put the measure on the next statewide ballot.

They could practice well and not do either of those, agreed. But only after they had learned some of the important teachings. I imagine someone trying to practice Dhamma without intellectual knowledge of the 4 Noble Truths and I don't see a pretty picture.

Researchers in a cycling study explained that most endurance athletes focus on increasing carbohydrates, but fail to realize that protein speeds recovery.
Two hours after eating a standardized breakfast, researchers had 15 trained male cyclists take a 60-minute time trial, cycling as fast as they could on a stationary cycle. The cyclists then drank a carbohydrate-protein supplement, or a carbohydrate-only supplement at 10 minutes after exercise and at one and two hours after. Four hours after exercise, the cyclists ate another standardized meal, and six hours after exercise, repeated the 60-minute time trial. Both groups did not perform as well in the second trial, but measuring the decline, the protein group performed twice as well as the carbohydrate group.

Side-Line has posted an interesting story (link). As you can see in the above screenshot Depeche Mode has posted on their official Facebook page a photo of Alan Wilder sitting in front of The Policy of Truth video. The text reads, "Never again is what you swore". Fans are interpreting this as a possible return of Alan to the band. Honestly as such a lover of DM I really would love to see that. Pair that with Martin's new obsession with Eurorack synth modules and some ingredients are in the pot that could produce a real DM album again! Let's hope!
"Following the departure of Vince Clarke, Depeche Mode placed an advertisement in the music magazine Melody Maker: "Keyboard player needed for established band – no timewasters." Even though the ad was looking for someone under 21 (Wilder was 22) he lied about his age to get the job, and got away with it. He joined Depeche Mode in January 1982, initially as a tour keyboardist, and soon thereafter as a full member of the recording band… On 1 June 1995 (his 36th birthday), Alan announced his departure from Depeche Mode: "Due to increasing dissatisfaction with the internal relations and working practices of the group, it is with some sadness that I have decided to part company from Depeche Mode. My decision to leave the group was not an easy one particularly as our last few albums were an indication of the full potential that Depeche Mode was realising." – Wikpedia

Dr. Kevin Finson publishes special needs-teaching textbook
March 8, 2011
Dr. Kevin Finson, professor of teacher education, along with co-authors Dr. Christine Ormsbee of Oklahoma State University and Dr. Mary Jensen of Western Illinois University, has published "Differentiating Science Instruction and Assessment for Learners With Special Needs, K–8" through Corwin Press. The book aims to help teachers adapt science instruction to young students with special needs.
The authors have worked for two years on the published version of the textbook, although they have been working together on the topic it covers for well over a decade. Dr. Finson first worked with his co-authors when they were all faculty members at Western Illinois University. In one project, the researchers paired general education and special education teachers together to collaborate in developing special education and science instruction techniques.
The book explains the reasons behind the need for better special education, provides guidelines and recommendations for working with children with certain specific special needs, and discusses appropriate ways of scoring and evaluating students with special needs. The authors focused on helping teachers apply these methods and theories to the classroom.
"We've tried to make it very pragmatic and practical," Finson said. "We want teachers to find the book useful."
Despite their geographical distance, the three worked as a tight-knit group during the writing of the book.
"We communicate frequently and work very well together," Finson said.
Finson plans to use the textbook in his science education courses beginning in the fall. The book is available now through the Corwin Press website and will be available in the Bradley bookstore this fall.
Finson is in his tenth year of teaching at Bradley. He teaches primarily science education courses, but he has also taught earth science courses and graduate-level instructional theory. He has been published in many national journals, including School Science and Mathematics and the Journal of Science Teacher Education, and has edited the international Journal of Elementary Science Education.

A new discussion board experience is coming this September!
After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
My sister and I fly To Chicago tomorrow for her first chemo treatment. I think she is getting gem/cis, but not certain. Any advice to help me help her is greatly appreciated!
My husband just finished his fifth treatment today. He's on FOLFIRINOX which is a very tough regimen but it hasn't been too bad for him so far. Each individual reacts differently. The day he started treatment, an oncology nurse spent about an hour with us explaining exactly what would happen and telling us about possible side effects and how to deal with them. They give him some medicine to reduce nausea before the treatment starts and so far he hasn't had any problems. He brings his laptop with him and usually manages to get some work done while he is being treated. Some of the other patients chat or play games and others prefer to sleep. The hospital tries to provide a relaxing and pleasant enviornment for its chemo patients and I think that approach is common these days. I hope all goes well for your sister.
Dear Joyful,
I was really anxious before treatment so they gave me IV Ativan and it relaxed me and I slept much of the treatment. It is good to wear comfy clothes. Does she have a port ? If not I recommend one, makes chemo so much easier.
Good luck.
Hi Joyful,
I feel we are almost experts on the chemo experience since my daughter, Lauren has had over 30 treatments. We have found at the cancer center we visit that the nurses are so nice and caring. You will want to wear comfy clothes because Gem/Cis usually takes quite a while. They should give your sister an anti nausea med in her iv. Lauren also got a steroid. I've read on here where some people get hyper from the steroid, but Lauren never did. Just really grumpy. Bring favorite snacks and an i-pad or laptop. At our place, they provide juices, coffee, tea, pop, bagels, crackers, and ice cream. I don't know if other places provide food. There is also the hospital cafeteria. Magazines, books, cards, and knitting or crocheting are also things people do. They usually have tvs there as well. Once in awhile you may get put next to someone you can chat with, but more often than not they are sleeping or not in the mood to visit. Lauren likes to close her curtain for privacy. Like Lisa said, a port is a great thing. If your sister doesn't have one, ask about it. That's about it. I hope you have a great experience. Please let us know how things go.
My sister had gem Cis and had few side effects in the beginning except constipation (probably from anti nausea meds). Hydrate and eat well. She did have a little fatigue too and her hair thinned a bit but she never lost enough for anyone rlse to notice. her Biggest issue was low white blood cell counts after only 1 chemo. Then, with Neulasta shots, that came back up but then platelet counts were often too low for chemo to be allowed. Not getting to have treatment is a disappointment, but we just moved on and looked forward to the next chance 2 weeks later. They adjust for these common problems by either spreading out treatments or lowering dose or changing chemo drugs in addition to giving the blood cell booster shots 24 hours after chemo tx. The fatigue was probably partially from the low blood cell numbers. The chemo day/infusionitself was not bad, she ssid. She would just really relax (the ativan helps) and she had the attitude of feeling thankful for the treatments. Now she is having a different type of tx (radioembolization ) and may resume chemo later.
Joyful....good luck, tomorrow. Most people experience some anxiety at onset of treatment, but often are pleasantly surprised with the ease of it all. I wish the same for your dear Mom.
Thank you all for your encouragement and kindness! I will share this with her on the plane today and work to establish a positive, encouraging atmosphere. I will post later to let you know how she did. Bless you all!!
Hi Joyful,
I hope that your sisters chemo goes well for her and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for the best possible results! Loads of positive thoughts are coming your way from over here! Please let us know how she gets on with it.
My best wishes to you and your sister,
I, too, am on gem/cis. What dosage is your sister? They are good at managing the nausea with lots of drugs. I develop a terrible kind of migraine in the night after the first - - it takes lots of anti-migraine and percoset to get through. But they are gone the next day! The chemo is very hard on your gut - - experiment around. I take one-half dose of miralax every day to keep "normal" .... try to get a nap every day even if it is just 45 minutes - - that helps a lot with energy levels. the hydrating is perhaps the most important thing of all. Drink and drink water. If you actually feel thirsty you are already behind! Expect to have a couple days of just lolling around. It can feel like you are getting the flu, with all those chemicals in your body. The good news? It gets better every day here on out for three weeks! Good luck! Let us know how it goes for you both!
The chemo is done for this week. Next week just gemzar, them a week off, repeatcycletwo more times then check. Thank you all for encouraging words and advice.

Immigration reform may soon become reality thanks to a new push from a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators. For the nation's dairy industry, the potential change to immigration laws could affect both small- and large-scale operations.
A study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that more than 40 percent of the state's dairy employees were immigrants, according to a report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Experts speculate that up to 50 percent of immigrant workers in the agricultural industry are in the country illegally.
"It's not a surprise to any of us that some of the workers on dairy farms today are not legal. It's an uncomfortable situation for both them and their employers," Jim Holte, president of Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview.
Because dairy workers are needed year round – instead of seasonally, like migrant workers – foreign dairy employees are unable to quality for H-2A visas.
Now, after many believed that immigration would take a backseat to debt and gun control, a bipartisan group of eight Senators has backed a plan that puts agriculture-based worker concerns at the forefront.
According to a report from Reuters, the four-page outline released by the senators said that "agricultural workers who commit to the long-term stability of our nation's agricultural industries will be treated differently than the rest of the undocumented population because of the role they play in ensuring that Americans have safe and secure agricultural products to sell and consume."
Industry experts point that foreign workers play an important role in dairy operations, even in states where unemployment is high. Most Americans aren't willing to milk cows or care for animals and instead prefer to work in office-based positions that are less physically strenuous.
Read, "Seeking workers, Wisconsin dairy farmers call for immigration reform."
A coalition of farm groups, including the National Milk Producers Federation, has proposed an 11-month visa for these workers. The proposal would require workers to return to their home country for 30 days, but there would be no limit to the number of times a worker could renew the visa.

An Education Intelligence Agency analysis of Internal Revenue Service filings by the National Education Association and its state affiliates reveal the union amassed more than $1.5 billion in revenue in 2008-09, more than 90 percent of it in the form of dues from public education employees.
EIA created a table, now posted on its web site, that lists the financial figures for NEA and each of its 53 "state" affiliates (50 states plus the directly affiliated Federal Education Association, which represents NEA teachers overseas and on military bases, the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly, and the Utah School Employees Association). The numbers include each union's total revenues, dues income and the amount devoted to employee compensation.
The statistics do not include the income of any of the union's 14,000 locals, whose totals would range from the significant (for example, the $3 million annual revenue of the San Diego Education Association) to the nonexistent, in the case of small affiliates that collect no local dues.
NEA and its affiliates are all tax-exempt organizations. If they were defined as a charity, they would rank no worse than 13th in the nation – well ahead of the American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, and the Nature Conservancy. Their one-year income exceeds the entire endowments of all but 43 charitable grant-making foundations, including the Broad Foundation and the Heinz Endowments (and close to the Annenberg Foundation).
The figures show that only a handful of affiliates felt the early effects of the recession. NEA national saw a 2.7 percent increase from the previous year, and some affiliates had double-digit increases in revenue. However, there were signs of financial troubles ahead.
The California Teachers Association and others saw significant declines in revenue, almost entirely due to poor investment returns. In the case of CTA, dues income actually exceeded "total" revenue because of investment losses.
Increased liabilities for employee compensation caused additional worries. The numbers in the table include not only salaries and benefits for current teacher union staff, but set-asides for their pensions and post-retirement health care. In most cases, the growth in the amount devoted to these purposes greatly exceeded the increases in income.
It would be ironic if the union's own labor costs forced it to make dramatic budget reductions or dues hikes. NEA and its state affiliates combined currently spend more than $820 million on some 7,000 employees (the number of retirees is unknown). In five states (Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Oregon and Washington) dues income failed to cover the costs of employee compensation.

No matter how hard I try I can't help but to feel distant. Somehow I always end up being disconnected. I've
Made personal decisions as a person that really destroyed my reputation. There are few people who have a frustrated love for me. I get into moods where I just don't want to talk or everything an everyone just seem distant. My relationship with my family is rocky, one day it's blue skies the next it's a scene out of twister.
I'm far more mature now then I used to be; I wouldn't talk about my epilepsy out of embarrassment and ignorance. I'm still very embarrassed but I will talk about it if asked.
What I want to know is:
How does epilepsy effect the relationships in your life?
Do you get angry very easily ? Are your moods effected by epilepsy?
Are you embarrassed to be the way you are?

Course Policies
Description and Objectives:
Making extensive use of the latest electronic resources available, this course will focus on the literature of the age of Nero, as well as the social, cultural, and political milieu in which it flourished. Primary readings include selections works of Seneca, Petronius and Lucan. Students will participate in a weekly collaborative class session with students and faculty from nine institutions via Elluminate video-conferencing technology. These sessions will include live broadcast lectures by participating faculty, with live question and answer opportunities. This course also includes an on-line weekly discussion, which will be moderated by participating faculty. In addition, classes will meet at least twice weekly in on campus tutorials with home campus faculty for translation and discussion of the readings for the week. This course is specifically designed for advanced students and will include a rigorous study of the cultural and historical context during the Late Roman Republic. All components of this course have been devised to help students become familiar with current interpretative approaches to original material, to build facility in reading Latin, and to develop skills in various methods of communication.
Course Requirements:
The course consists of several elements: readings, online discussion, online common session, and meeting with the campus mentor. Each week readings and online discussion will precede and prepare for the coming online common session. Class meetings on individual campuses are arranged by local faculty and students, and so will vary by school. The course will also include a midterm exam, administered online and graded collaboratively by the intercampus teaching faculty.
This course is intended for advanced, mature students, who can effectively and conscientiously work through the readings and fulfill the assignments with minimal supervision. Participating faculty members presuppose that students will come to each event prepared to participate actively. Students should take advantage of every resource to ensure that they thoroughly understand the readings and have a command of the interpretive issues that will form the basis of the lectures, discussions, and tutorials. All students are expected to complete all readings in Latin and English, to be present in the Elluminate classroom for all common sessions on Wednesday evenings, and to post responses to all weekly study questions posted on the course Sakai site.
The midterm exam will be a shared online experience, but the timing and requirements for final exams and papers for this course will be determined differently on individual campuses, as will the grading of each element of your work.
Details of weekly assignments and lectures are outlined on the Syllabus document available on the Sakai course site.
To enter the Elluminate Classroom, use the link below before class time and type your name on the sign in page:
A few days before you first lecture, go to the Elluminate instructions posted on the Sakai site, and configure your computer for this new adventure.

Elementary Statistics in Psychology (4) Frequency distributions and graphs; measures of central tendency and variability; normal probability curve; elementary sampling and reliability; correlations; simple regression equations.
PSYCH 200 Elementary Statistics in Psychology (4)
Psychological science is based upon empirical research. Questions about behavior and experience are answered by gathering and analyzing data. In upper-level classes students will be expected to read and understand this research, and many will be expected to design sensible investigations of their own. At the core of these skill sets is the ability to understand and perform statistical analyses, and the ability to evaluate the match between statistical analysis and experimental procedures. This course provides an introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics commonly used in psychology, and introduces hypothesis testing as a method of scientific investigation. In addition, it explores the ways in which the assumptions of statistical tests place constraints on experimental design and, conversely, how the design of experiments can dictate the statistical test appropriate for data analysis. Specific topics include probability theory, measures of variability and central tendency, normal curves, the relation between samples and populations, correlations, and simple regression. Classes may also cover z-tests, t-tests, ANOVA, or other techniques commonly used in psychology. Content is presented through a combination of lectures, readings, and demonstrations. Evaluation is primarily on the basis of objective exams given in class. The course introduces students to quantitative procedures used in psychological research and practice. It also promotes thinking about how students can apply this knowledge to answer self-generated questions. With PSYCH 301W (Basic Research Methods in Psychology) the course provides an excellent two-course sequence to prepare students for upper level courses. After taking this course students should be able to make more informed decisions about majoring in psychology. This course serves as a prerequisite for PSYCH 301W, which itself prerequisite for many some upper-level psychology courses. PSYCH 200 or Stat 200 is required for the Psychology majors and minor.
General Education: GQ
Diversity: None
Bachelor of Arts: None
Effective: Spring 2011
Prerequisite: PSYCH 100;MATH 021

Outdoor marijuana grows, firearms at schools, retro license plates, craft beer and breastfeeding are subjects of hundreds of new state laws that will go into effect on New Year's Day -- giving North Coast officials and business owners plenty to talk about.
One of 2013's over 800 new laws will allow police officers to stop vehicles that are carrying agricultural irrigation supplies on rural dirt roads.
AB 2284, introduced by 2nd District Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro, aims to crack down on large-scale marijuana grows through enforcement stops and increased penalties for marijuana grows or methamphetamine labs operating on public forest lands.
Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Lt. Steve Knight said the law will require the county Board of Supervisors' approval before the sheriff's office begins to enforce it.
"If they approve it, yes," Knight said. "Our officers can use it as probable cause."
The sheriff's office designates deputies to patrol rural back roads, Knight said, and the law will give officers reason to stop and question someone transporting supplies commonly used in grows on public lands.
Another law, coauthored by Chesbro and 2nd District Congressman-elect Jared Huffman, requires California State Parks to develop a prioritized plan to increase revenues and the collection of user fees to ease ongoing budget problems.
AB 1589 is also written to make it easier for state parks to team up with nonprofit organizations to keep campgrounds and parks open.
California State Parks District Superintendent Dana Jones said collaboration with nonprofits has worked on the North Coast.
"We've been working on that for quite a while and we've been doing that in a number of places," she said.
Partnerships have kept Grizzly Creek and Del Norte Coastal Redwoods State Park campgrounds open, and an agreement is in the works to keep Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area open.
Jones said the new law may close loopholes related to collaborations and make it easier for other parks around the state to look at options.
"It obviously doesn't have any negative effects, or I would have heard about it," she said.
Another law going into effect in January, AB 1844, prevents employers from asking current or potential employees to hand over passwords to social networking sites such as Facebook.
Express Employment Professionals owner Randy Hansen said he's not in the habit of looking at potential employees' social media profiles.
"I agree it's probably crossing the bounds to ask for a password," he said. "It seems kind of silly they have to enact a law for that."
Still, Hansen said, much of the information that people post online is public, and can be viewed by employers without a password.
"It's in the employees' best interest to be careful about the things they post on Facebook and LinkedIn," he said. "The way you live your personal life is often indicative of how you'll be at work."
A similar law, SB 1349, enacts protections for current and prospective college students.
Here's a sampling of other state laws slated to hit the books Tuesday:
AB 1527: Current regulations prohibit firearms in school zones with certain exceptions; this law allows a security guard or a retired peace officer to openly carry an unloaded firearm that is not a handgun.
AB 1658: Retro license plates may make a comeback. This bill says "legacy plates" will be issued if 7,500 applications for a particular license plate style are received by 2015.
The program will offer yellow plates with black lettering originally issued from 1956 to 1962, black plates with yellow lettering originally issued from 1965 to 1968, and blue plates with yellow lettering originally issued from 1969 to 1986.
AB 1812 : Another Chesbro bill revises the definition of beer to include beer aged in barrels previously used to contain wine or distilled spirits. Barrel-aged beers are popular with the craft beer industry, and concerns were raised this year that language in the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act could be interpreted to regulate barrel-aged beers differently than other beers.
SB 960: California State University campus-based fees can no longer be reallocated by the university without a vote of approval from the student body or specific fee advisory committee.
AB 2410: Anyone convicted of a felony regarding public trust -- bribery, perjury, embezzlement, theft or extortion of public money -- will be disqualified from election to public office.
AB 2386: Breastfeeding will be added to protected conditions related to childbirth that prevent discrimination in employment or housing.
SB 1298: Self-driving cars will be allowed to travel on California's roadways for testing purposes. The autonomous cars will be required to have a licensed driver in the vehicle to monitor safe operation.

Huntington disease is a genetic neurological disease that results in a progressive loss of control over body movements, thinking abilities, emotions, and behavior. These changes are marked by difficulty communicating, memory problems, slowed thinking, mood swings, apathy, and lack of self-awareness. They take place as a result of degeneration of specific parts of the brain.
It is important for you to understand what is happening with your loved one so that you can respond sensitively to his or her needs.
Keep in mind that each person affected by Huntington disease is unique and has individual needs. The changes you notice in your loved one's behavior have nothing to do with character or personality, but are the result of the disease.
Most people with Huntington disease understand the majority of what is being said to them, even during the end stages of the disease. However, there are a number of cognitive problems that may impair functioning. There may be difficulties with:
There are some strategies that may help you meet these new challenges:
You may also find you have to be more precise about scheduling activities. Here are some time-saving ideas:
There will be changes in the emotional and behavioral states of the person you are caring for. You may see:
People with Huntington disease lose their ability to control emotions. They may respond to denials with temper tantrums. Irritability and angry outbursts can be very challenging to family members. Try to respond with understanding and compassion, keeping in mind that these emotional problems are symptoms of Huntington disease. The following tips can help:
Take the time to remove potential weapons from the house. This will create a safe environment for everyone. Consult with a neurologist or psychiatrist to help you better manage outbursts.
The person affected by Huntington disease may seem unmotivated, lazy, indifferent, or depressed. They may sit around a lot, watch TV all day, and show little enthusiasm for initiating activities. Although apathy is a part of depression, it does not mean the person has depression. Apathy happens over time and can be particularly frustrating for loved ones if the person was once very active. Family members and caregivers should:
If you suspect the apathy is part of a more serious condition like depression, contact your doctor for treatment options (which may include medication and/or therapy).
A person with Huntington disease may get fixated on a thought, idea, or routine, and have great difficulty moving onto something else. They may become resistant, distressed, and angry if pushed to do something else. The following tips may help break rigid behavior:
Lack of self-awareness is common among people with Huntington disease. This means that they may not be aware of how they are behaving, what they are doing, or their condition. It may appear that the person is in denial and does not accept the illness. Family members and caregivers should:
Caring for a loved one who has Huntington disease can be stressful for the whole family. Most of the strategies here (like maintaining a schedule or calendar) will work for many of the complications you will encounter.
Keep in mind that there are a number of resources available that can help you and your loved one cope better with these changes. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, and other counselors may be able to help. Check to see if your community, hospital, or other healthcare facility has support groups for caregivers or families.
