Sharing the Good News and Good Work of Students and Staff
April 2018 Edition
Superintendent's Message
Dear Team PUSD,
I hope everyone had a restful Spring Break. But it was good to get back to work, as we strive to finish off the year strong!
The season of Spring is associated with new beginnings, and I truly believe PUSD has an opportunity for hope and optimism as we are now able to move forward from some of the challenges of the past. I am excited about the possibilities that our future holds. This is not to say we don't have things we need to work on; we are constantly learning and improving as an educational organization. But with your support, we can accomplish great things for our students together.
The months of April and May also bring numerous employee recognitions, from bus drivers to school nurses, administrative assistants to teachers. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to recognize how much of a team effort it takes to make our District successful and ensure we are meeting our mission of college and career readiness for our students.
We are in the midst of state testing, with many of our students taking the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress. We wish our students the very best as they head into testing. The tests provide an opportunity to measure the skills of all students statewide against the same academic math, language arts, and science standards. Our teachers and principals also use these results to compare a schools' performance toward achieving state standards. Parents, while these tests are an important element in reviewing your child's academic progress, they are just one of several factors to consider. Classroom projects, writing assignments, math exercises, and classroom assessments, all contribute information as we build a clear picture of how your student is progressing.
Speaking of progress, I was able to witness firsthand the talents and skills of many of our students at the 2nd Annual Career Technical Education Student Expo. Preparing students for College and Career Readiness is the mission of Poway Unified School District. One of the ways we achieve this mission is by investing in our excellent Career Technical Education programs. CTE in Poway Unified School District focuses on the changing workplace that demands high levels of academic and applied knowledge and skills. From sports medicine and fire science, to automotive technology and agriculture, these programs are offered throughout Poway Unified. I am very proud of our students, and I hope they take the passion and confidence they are learning in their CTE classes and carry that with them into their college, careers, and beyond.
Marian Kim-Phelps, Ed.D.

Your child's immunization schedule is an extremely important healthcare measure that should be kept up-to-date. Vaccines have contributed to a significant reduction in many childhood diseases, such as diphtheria, polio, measles, and whooping cough. It is now rare for American children to experience the devastating effects of these illnesses. Infant deaths due to childhood diseases have nearly disappeared in the United States and other countries with high vaccination coverage. But the germs that cause vaccine-preventable diseases and death still exist, and can be passed on to people who are not protected by vaccines.
Certain immunizations are crucial to your child's health, as well as admittance into daycare and specific school grade levels. The following link will give you all of the information on Florida's immunizations requirements for school entry:
Immunizations are offered for children 2 months old – 18 years old at no cost. There is a form referred to as the DH 680, Florida Certification of Immunization or "Blue Card"*. The form is required for any child entering Florida schools (public or private, K-12), pre-schools, childcare facilities or family day care homes. There is a minimal cost for transferring the records. *Please note that this form is now printed on white paper; it is no longer blue.
Adult immunizations
Vaccines are important for adult and adolescents as well as children. Vaccine recommendations for adolescents and adults are based on a variety of factors including age, overall health status, and medical history.
To help you understand what vaccines you might need, you can complete the Adolescent and Adult Vaccine Quiz online. Then print your results and discuss them with your doctor or healthcare professional next time you make an office visit. Take the quiz.

Message from the Women's Philanthropy Initiative (WPI) Chair, Nan Cohen
- Share This Story
Hello from WPI,
I remember my first day of work after college vividly. My manager sat me down for an introductory chat and stated flatly, "if it's going well, don't screw it up." I am so fortunate that my predecessor, Beth Wain Brandon, created a legacy that is not only going well; it is going gangbusters. WPI is more vibrant today and more relevant to our community. Thank you, Beth, for being an impactful WPI Chair.
As you know, we never really say goodbye. Beth and Sandy Wuliger are co-chairs of our Women's Mission to Israel. Mark your calendars for January 25 as we begin a journey through Israel that will be like no other. This is a Mission for interesting and fun women; some will be professionals like me, some will be retired, and some will have chosen not to work. We will all have one thing in common; we believe in the power we have as individuals and as a collective to learn, grow, and inspire change.
Individual effort for collective good is also the theme of our Lion of Judah Dinner. This year's keynote speaker is Jeannie Smith, who will share the story of her mother, Irene Gut OpDyke. As a righteous gentile, Irene lived her values daily at great expense to herself. Her message is that each of us has the ability to create change and improve a life, our community, and the world. I highly recommend reading Irene's book, "In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer."
I am told that I should share with you my vision for my term as WPI Chair. Instead, I would prefer to give you my contact information:
Nan Cohen
Creekside Financial Advisors
30195 Chagrin Blvd, Suite 208W
Pepper Pike, OH 44124
Phone: 216-342-3381
Send me an email, drop me a line, or call for a lunch or coffee date. Let me hear your thoughts. How would you like to be connected? Planning is my profession and passion. All great plans come from listening before acting. Please do me the honor of having the chance to listen to you first. Together, we will continue the great plans in place from all of our predecessors and forge new paths when warranted.
Shana Tova,

I've proved people wrong, says Raikkonen after stunning Austin win
Two thousand and forty four days. That's how long it has been since Kimi Raikkonen last won a Grand Prix. Many questioned whether he could ever reach the top step of the podium again, but the Finn reckons his stunning drive to victory in Austin has answered those critics…
Raikkonen has come close to victory several times since re-joining Ferrari in 2014, but it was looking increasingly likely he would end his second stint with the team in red without another triumph.
But in the United States, the stars aligned and the Finn won his 21st career victory, and first since the 2013 Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne's Albert Park, with a stunning drive.
The key was the start, the Finn using his softer tyres to leap ahead of championship leader Lewis Hamilton. When the Mercedes driver pressured him, having pitted for fresher tyres, Raikkonen defended bravely, and then used his experience to manage the tyres and absorb more pressure in the closing stages.
Despite the impressive feat, Raikkonen – who took a big swig of champagne before spraying it on the podium - typically downplayed the result. "It's not a big deal for me, it's a much bigger deal for a lot of the people," he said. "If it comes, it comes; if it doesn't, it really doesn't change my life one bit.
"I'm happy we are here and that we win but I think the biggest difference is the way people look at you. If you look at people in a different way if they win or not, it doesn't make a lot of difference in my mind. But obviously I'm happy, just proving some people wrong is enough fun for me."
Raikkonen breaks Michael Schumacher's record for the longest gap between a first and last career win – Sunday is 15 years and 212 days since his first triumph in the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix for McLaren.
He also now holds the record for the biggest gap between races – 112 races and one DNS – as well as taking the accolade as the oldest race winner, at 39, since Nigel Mansell triumphed for Williams at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix.
But the Finn, who is heading to Sauber for the next two seasons, isn't worried about age. "I might be getting older but it was not too bad, we'll get a few years more and I enjoyed it," he added. "We're here to try to win it and I always try to do it, but it's not easy, otherwise everybody could do it.
"I think this weekend we've been pretty solid in many ways and I had a good feeling with the car. We'll see what happens in the next race but so far, I'm not complaining a lot. For sure we'll have fun tonight and then we go next week for the next one."
Inevitably, Raikkonen was asked if victory, on what was his 50th podium, proved Ferrari were wrong to replace him from next year but the Finn doesn't see it like that. He insisted he wants to join Sauber, whose factory is close to his home and will subsequently allow him more time with his family.
"I think people don't understand I'm actually very happy with where I'm going," he said. "I had my time with Ferrari, I won my championship with them, I won many races with them and for me, as a driver, I want different challenges, I want different things.
"I'm actually really happy to go there, it's roughly 40 minutes from my home, for sure my family will be happy and I'm happy to be with my family. I think it's probably the best thing and I wasn't at any point disappointed with the decision.
"The only thing that I was interested in was to know what was going to happen. I've been long enough in Formula 1 to know that it doesn't matter if you have a contract or not, things happen for different reasons. The end result is that I'm very excited about."

Tony Grossi is back as a member of the media covering the Browns, as he's joined forces with ESPN Cleveland for the 2012 season.
On their station website today, Grossi wrote about the deal that the Browns were unable to pull off with the Rams that would have landed them the #2 pick and the shot to draft RG3.
Here's a snipit.
"Honestly, when it didn't happen I think there are reasons that I can't go into right now, but there is a very close relationship between the people getting the deal done and the people who offered. And I'm not sure anything we offered would have been good enough. We were very, very aggressive and it didn't work," Holmgren said.
Holmgren made those comments on a conference call with Browns season-ticket holders. The question about the Browns' seriousness about the trade talks did not come up until the 54th minute of a 60-minute question and answer session.
"Most of the stories that I have seen – all of them I've seen – were incorrect in what our offer was, when we entered the process and in how we went about it," Holmgren said.
The relationship to which Holmgren referred was the friendship between Rams coach Jeff Fisher and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan.

College Football Makes For More Interesting ViewingBy Chris Lin
This past weekend of college football was full of big games, upsets, and high drama all around. And it just goes to prove that watching college football over the NFL gives you more value for your entertainment dollar.
In the NFL, the bottom line is win, and agents, owners, and Dave Shula only take away from the fact that these are the best football players on Earth. In college, the money is under the table, the fans are more into the game, and anything can happen on a Saturday.
Northwestern barely won again last week, and they have won their last four games by a total of 10 points. While they merit respect, they should not be feared in any way. I point this out because the announcer for the Ohio State-Iowa game this weekend declared Ohio State was lucky they did not "have to play" Northwestern this year. Get real.
But that is the appeal of college football - the speculation and the contrast between the hundreds of teams. Northwestern has already made one team's season - when they lost a 2413 lead - to lose to Wake Forest 2827. In the process, they raked up their first loss and gave WakeForest one of their few wins. In college, teams can take pride in a season even if they win one or do not win it all.
Sometimes that gets lost if you are a Buckeye, Gator, or Volunteer follower. And while I refuse to give Northwestern top 10 respect because they seem to just barely win every game they play against anyone, their games could be watched just for their pure entertainment value. But I will shower the purple and black with all the respect they deserve if they survive the next two weeks at Penn State and Iowa. We'll see.
This weekend weeded out two of the championship pretenders in my opinion, Alabama and the more obvious West Virginia. Both have not played any meaningful opponent yet this season. The two are no longer undefeated, but they both have pretty cool uniforms.
Wyoming is the only team still soaking it in in terms of dreamland. We'll see. They have yet to play anyone of any merit. However, Wyoming does have a tough schedule ahead against the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, Fresno State, and Iowa State. Wait, I'm thinking basketballŠ
So college football has its final four already set for the most part. Florida and Florida State is already a semifinal game, happening Nov. 30. It is also possible another semifinal will take place Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl between Arizona State and Ohio State. Too bad there won't be a final. Then again, Ohio State could lose to Michigan, Indiana, MITŠ get the picture?
So college football may have multiple undefeated teams claiming the national championship, it may have none. Until Jan. 2, all we can do is listen to talk about it and avoid our problems sets.Copyright 19,95, The Tech. All rights reserved.

Most Exago customers are software companies who integrate the solution into their applications. This is also the reason the vendor does not host the software – it relies on the infrastructures of customers or partners for that purpose. A subscription model is deployed with pricing calculated per application.
Exago is a single-product company. In the past, complex integration needs were often met by running many embedded BI solutions, which could become technically challenging. The same applies to certain more mature BI and analytics vendors whose software has become cumbersome over time. To address this, Exago's founders designed an interactive and business-oriented solution that could be embedded using a number of APIs (REST, .NET, SOAP).
User & Use Cases
Exago is a modern web-based solution which is heavily used in embedded scenarios, as indicated by the fact that an impressive 28 percent of employees use the software on average. The solution supports standard/enterprise reporting (performed by 85 percent of users), dashboards/scorecards (79 percent) and ad hoc queries (76 percent). This is quite broad coverage for an embedding specialist, underlining the strength of this modern platform. 42 percent of respondents plan to use the product for advanced analysis in the future. Exago targets all company sizes across all industries but in our sample 52 percent come from small companies (with less than 100 employees). The median number of users is 50, but the mean of 341 users indicates there are also some larger implementations.

After visiting Cateel's Aliwagwag Falls, a good suggestion is to go down to the capital city of Mati in Davao Oriental, taking the national highway thru the towns of Baganga, Caraga and Tarragona.
There is an early bus trip from Cateel to Mati, once a day, at 5am. It may be too early to some travellers, so the next best option is to take the van at 11:30am. The trip would take about 3 hours.
Manong Biboy and Jesus take the Wheel brought us to the integrated bus terminal so we could get on the van and choose the best seats. We prefer the first row behind the driver's seat because of bigger leg room plus there's enough space to put our backpacks in front of us.
At the integrated bus and van terminal of Cateel
Just like most of the vans, there was a waiting time. It left the terminal after almost an hour from the supposedly 11:30am schedule. Passengers were eventually picked up along the way. The coastal road from Cateel to Mati is of good condition. The view of the ocean and the islands off the coast were wonderful as well.
We reached Mati a little past 3pm. We arranged for tricycle (tuktuk) to take us to Dahican Beach. You can arrange a ride at the bus terminal. In our case, we informed the tricycle driver that before we go to Dahican Beach, we need to drop by a food joint to take a quick lunch, then to a grocery store to buy food and drinks. We agreed on a Php 200 fare.
People say that food in Dahican is expensive. It is advisable that you bring your own provision.
A path towards the beach
From Mati, Dahican is about 7km northeast or about 10min trip. We were dropped off at the path leading to Amihan sa Dahican. This area refers to the headquarters of the skim boarders and surfers (Amihan Boys), a training ground for those who want to ride the waves. We got a lovely accommodation at Dahican Surf Resort for only Php 1,000, a non-aircon room with 3 double-decks good for 6.
Surfboards greet the guests of DSR
Chill Area for Surfers
A view from our rented cottage
That Saturday afternoon was a bit busy at Dahican Surf Resort. The beach was just a few couple of steps from the cottages. We hurriedly dropped our bags, changed our outfit and walked towards the beach. Dahican Beach was a beautiful surprise.
Dahican's 7km beach line
The swell fit for skim boarding
The beach was very lovely. It's a long stretch of white sand that extends on a curve from left to ride. The swells from the Pacific Ocean beat upon the sloping shores. The crashing waves create a music that is so much different from the atmosphere in Boracay or in Puerto Galera. It has a simple vibe that makes one forget the hustle and hassle of urban life. Dahican is simply a paradise.
There is no definite season to best visit Dahican Beach. It depends on what you wish to do. Skim boarding is almost an all-year round activity. Surfing lessons are available all the time. They say the best swells happen between the months of November to February. The good waves come in the afternoon.
I love Mati. I love Dahican
A good option for dining at Dahican
Kalapyahan: Restaurant by the Beach
It is one thing to wish that Dahican Beach would remain as it is now. The beach vibe and the skim-surf culture it possess is devoid of ugly commercial development, which makes it more beautiful. It is also one thing to wish that the government will continue its role in preserving and protecting this landscape, ensuring a sound eco-tourism for everyone to enjoy.
Things to do in Dahican
Dahican Beach
In my list of the Philippines' best beaches, Dahican belongs to the upper part. You need to visit Dahican Beach and experience the vibe. Its natural beauty is beyond question.

MUMBAI: Come 2022 and Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ metro line, that is under implementation, will be driverless. There will not be a need to have train captains to ply the metro trains along the 32.5-km route as such trains can be operated from a remote location like a control room.
"During the first year of operations there will be pilots controlling train systems, but from the subsequent year it will be operated remotely by having driverless metro trains," said AA Bhatt, Director (Systems), Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC).
As per the implementation schedule of MMRC, the stretch between SEEPZ and Bandra Kurla Complex will be opened for public operations from September 2020. Whereas, the entire underground metro line will be commissioned only in March 2021.
The metro trains will be equipped with advanced signaling system — Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) — that helps in having driverless metro operations.
Even the trains with Mumbai Metro One Private Limited, being run between Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar, can be operated without having any train pilot or captain. But, since the project has been opened for public service, Metro 1 has never been operated remotely on its entire 11.4-km corridor.
During early 2016, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had received nod to have driverless metro. At the moment, two corridors of DMRC have systems similar to CBTC. The corridors in Delhi having such a system are the 58-km-long Majlish Park-Shiv Vihar and the 38-km-long Janakpuri (West)- Botanical Garden.

Introduction: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of clozapine is a very useful method for verifying both the correct intake and the interindividual variability of its metabolism, thereby avoiding the risk of toxicity. The purposes of this paper were to discover how many patients using clozapine in common clinical practice have clozapine plasma concentration (PC) levels in the proposed reference range and to identify factors that influence clozapine PC levels.
Methods: Our study included 100 inpatients (diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder) taking standard doses of clozapine (100–700 mg/day). Clozapine concentration was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Correlations between doses and PC levels and the influence of smoking and gender on clozapine PC levels were calculated.
Results: A large number of the patients (67%) had PC levels outside the proposed reference range. The clozapine PC levels were influenced by dose, gender, and cigarette smoking.
Conclusion: The correlations between dose, gender, and cigarette smoking and clozapine PC levels highlighted by our study overlap other research. It was surprising to find such a large number of patients with clozapine PC levels outside the therapeutic range. This result suggests the importance of clozapine TDM due to misunderstood inter- and/or intraindividual variability or misestimated partial therapeutic compliance.
Keywords: therapeutic drug monitoring, plasma levels, interindividual variability, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder

We have now sold 199 Bugeye Sprites. Look closely to see if you can find what might be our 200th (although it will take a while to get this one running again).
This is a barn-find Bugeye that has been living in an actual barn in Ohio since 1982, when it was dragged home by a father and son for a restoration (that unfortunately never happened). We'll now drag it to our place and evaluate what it will take to put yet another Sprite back on the road.
I was able to speak to the prior owner of this car who owned it from 1973-1982. He took it apart and sold it to the folks who put it in this chicken coop, where it has lived for the past 35 years, and earned the nickname "Bird."
I'll get additional photos as we extract it, so you can watch the car begin its journey back to the open road.

It's no secret that civic leader extraordinaire Mary McDermott Cook has made her home in West Dallas, giving up a stunning spread on Strait Lane down the street from Ross and Margot Perot, Brint Ryan, and all the other Dallas glitterati who line that street. The Dallas Morning News first spilled the beans in 2012. It was, indeed, the bluff above the Belmont Hotel where Mary built one of the most talked-about and architecturally significant homes in Dallas with the talent of architect Bill Booziotis and contractor John Sebastian.
This week, she let Dallas architects in for a sneak peak of the home, which you will probably see next in Architectural Digest. It was one of Dallas Architecture Forum's 365 Modern Living receptions, and it was packed to the gills. The world found out about her lot acquisition in 2012, she built through 2013, moved in November 2014, and is enjoying the house tremendously, she said. It is an energy-efficient concrete home clad in limestone — walls, floors, even 17 inches of concrete on the roof. While not yet LEED-certified, she says her energy bills are 1/3rd of what they were in her previous home, which was only about 5,000 sq. ft., and the house was uniquely designed to catch the wind on her hill overlooking Dallas and, of course, the McDermott bridge. It's so well-engineered she hasn't even cranked on the AC yet in May. Except for when she lets in 100 architects, the house also has total privacy without one window covering.
Of course, John Sebastian (with his daughter) and Bill Booziotis were on hand to discuss the project.
Cook is a steady backer of Dallas and the Trinity River, nature, education, medicine and of course, art. Her discovery of Malone Cliff and presence in this area is helping values shoot up — already I am eyeing a home under construction by one of my home building dynamos Tom Greico ... just wait until we get inside that!

Yesterday, I provided information about the Victoria, Australia, Cemetery Records and Headstone Transcriptions, 1844-1997 collection at Ancestry. This morning, I was wondering if headstone photographs for these cemeteries were available online, and if there were, would I need the collection at ancestry?
I decided to test this by looking for a headstone photograph for the person I looked at yesterday, Henry Hooton, who was buried at St Kilda Cemetery. I found a headstone photograph for Henry, his wife Emma and son Herbert on FindAGrave –
After looking at the photograph, I was grateful for the transcription. I could make out some of the details, but much of it was indecipherable.
Not all of the headstones at St Kilda Cemetery have been photographed, so I decided to see if there were any photographs available for some of the other people in my tree. The first person I tried was William Thomas Allen, who died in 1893. Although FindAGrave has a memorial, there is no headstone photograph. The collection at ancestry did have a transcription of his headstone. There was no headstone photograph at BillionGraves.
When I did a search for others in my tree who had been buried at St Kilda Cemetery, I found many of them didn't have a memorial at FindAGrave. For these, I also found there was no headstone transcription at Ancestry either.
The advantage of using BillionGraves or FindAGrave is that these are free, while Ancestry is a subscription site, so I would search these first, and then refer to the collection at Ancestry if there is a memorial, but no headstone photograph, or the details on the photograph are hard to decipher.

Q1. What causes high potassium levels, and what are the physical effects? How do you know if you have this problem?
— Dorty, Ohio
Potassium is an element that is critical to the proper functioning of our bodies. Normally, the concentration of potassium in our blood is tightly controlled by our kidneys, which are well designed to maintain appropriate levels. The amount of potassium in our blood is low compared with the amount found within the various cells that make up our bodies.
Our bodies are so adept at maintaining a normal level of potassium that unless there is a problem with the kidneys, consuming potassium by mouth will not result in high potassium levels. However, high potassium blood levels can occur under certain conditions, and in extreme cases they can lead to serious consequences. Besides kidney disease, increased potassium can result from cell damage, taking certain drugs (some diuretics and blood pressure medications like ACE inhibitors), deficiencies in certain hormones such as aldosterone (a hormone produced by the adrenal glands), and metabolic problems.
Unfortunately, there are few symptoms of high potassium levels, and when they do occur they are not seen till the potassium is already at a significantly elevated level. These signs may include muscular weakness progressing all the way to paralysis, though this is extremely rare. Certain changes can be seen on an electrocardiogram (EKG) when the potassium level is elevated. A blood test is the only way to determine potassium levels, and this test is routinely performed in those with kidney disease or medical conditions that can lead to elevated potassium and in patients taking drugs known to raise the potassium level.
Q2. I had toxic shock syndrome four years ago and had aches and pains for months afterward. Now I have what I think is chronic fatigue. The thing is, no one ever told me what to expect after the syndrome. I was just told that I would get better in three to six weeks. Can you tell me if what I'm experiencing is normal?
Toxic shock syndrome was originally noted in children infected with Staphylococcus aureus (a common bacterium), usually referred to as staph. Today it most often occurs among women who use tampons, and is a secondary effect of a large number of other infections. Another bacterium, Streptococcus (strep), can also cause toxic shock syndrome. This condition can interfere with the functioning of several different organ systems in the body, including the heart, kidneys, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system.
Given all the body systems involved, it's not surprising that recovery can take many weeks and leave you fatigued. Prolonged weakness and fatigue have been reported as long-term consequences of toxic shock, and depending on the severity of your case and your specific symptoms, it may be totally normal for you to feel as you do now.
It's important for you to have close continued follow-up with your physician to make sure all your organ systems have returned to normal. It is not unusual for toxic shock syndrome to recur, so if you develop any symptoms that concern you, call your doctor immediately.
Q3. I buy yogurt with probiotics, and my toddler always wants one when she sees me eating it. Can children take probiotics?
Children may certainly take probiotics; however, parents should understand what probiotics are and how probiotics may benefit kids' health. "Probiotics" is a general term used to describe microorganisms (bacteria and/or yeast) that are normally found in the gastrointestinal system (gut) and that are beneficial to the body. It may be hard to believe, but certain types of bacteria are actually helpful to humans! Many bacteria and yeasts are considered to be probiotics — you may have heard of Lactobacillus, Streptococcus salivarius, and Saccharomyces boulardi, some of the more commonly known probiotics. These bacteria and yeasts can be added to foods directly or taken as supplements in the form of pills or powders. Many yogurts list "active [bacterial] cultures," another term for probiotics, on their labels.
These bacteria seem to be helpful in a number of ways. They create an environment in the gut that's inhospitable to bad bacteria. These good bacteria may also help the body's immune system by secreting certain chemicals.
Probiotics have been proven to be helpful in treating infectious diarrhea — and especially antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Many doctors recommend them if a patient is prescribed an antibiotic that could destroy helpful bacteria in the gut. There is growing evidence, also, that probiotics may help patients with certain chronic conditions of the intestines, such as inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, studies published in May 2010 in the Journal of Pediatrics have noted the seemingly impressive protection conferred by probiotics against necrotizing enterocolitis, a very serious problem in the intestines that can occur in premature infants.
Other possible benefits of probiotics include improvement of eczema, allergic symptoms, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and a reduction in dental cavities; they may even help eliminate bad breath!
Some people think probiotics are a cure-all that can help fight any and all infections. That certainly has not been proven. In fact, a study published in March 2010 in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that children who drank liquid yogurt containing probiotics every day did not miss school less often because of illness than children who did not take probiotics daily. Yet probiotics do seem to be safe and have some well-documented benefits. One caution: A few studies have shown that patients with extremely compromised immune systems have actually been made sick when given probiotics. If a person has an immune system problem, he or she should consult a doctor before taking probiotics.
You'll notice that probiotics are being added to more and more foods; keep watching for new potential benefits of these bacteria to be reported! While it can be difficult to interpret all the data about the many different types of probiotics and formulations, you can always consult your pediatrician if you have questions about probiotics.
Q4. My internist took an X-ray of my chest, and I was told I had a blood cluster on my liver. He stated this was not unusual. I had the X-ray because I became sick while on vacation. I was nauseated and had a feeling of fullness in my chest after eating. I am diabetic, so it caused me some concern.
— Robert, North Carolina
While I cannot be entirely certain, it sounds as if you may have what is known medically as a hemangioma of your liver. Hemangiomas are benign — that is, they are not a form of cancer. They are the most common growth found on the liver and are seen in more than 2 percent of people. Hemangiomas are composed of tangles of blood vessels that have a very characteristic appearance on tests such as ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs. You cannot make the diagnosis on a regular X-ray, as they cannot be seen on plain films. Hemangiomas may be solitary or appear in clusters, and can range in size from very small to over five inches. There are some people who have hemangiomas of the liver as part of other diseases (not including diabetes), but most commonly they occur by themselves with no known cause.
There is debate as to whether any follow-up tests (such as ultrasound) should be done to see if the hemangioma is growing. Most physicians would agree that if the decision is made to repeat tests, seeing no growth after one year would mean that testing could stop. The most important thing is to have your films reviewed by an experienced radiologist so that an accurate diagnosis can be made and other potential causes ruled out.
Q5. I have had a problem with migraines for some years now, but I have dealt with it for the most part. Now my 5-year-old son is experiencing severe migraines two to three times a week. They just seem to come on without warning. What's the best form of treatment for migraines in a child so young?
— Michael, New York
Michael, although your son most likely does have migraine headaches, my first recommendation is that you take him to be evaluated by his pediatrician and/or a pediatric neurologist. Any child with new, frequent, severe headaches should be seen by a doctor.
Headache symptoms not consistent with typical migraines or tension headaches include pain that wakes a person up in the middle of the night, headaches that are worse in the morning upon waking, and neurological problems such as difficulty walking. If your son has any of these symptoms, he should be seen by a doctor immediately.
Although it may surprise people to learn, migraines can occur in young children. Migraines run in families, and most people with migraines have a parent with a history of migraines. Doctors can sometimes diagnose a patient with migraines just based on the description of the headache.
Other times, doctors might order tests such as imaging of the head or recommend a patient keep a "headache journal." A headache journal can help identify the triggers of headaches and assist doctors with managing a patient's headache.
The headache journal should include specifically:
- Date and timing of symptoms. Include relation to activities, stress, etc.
- Description of symptoms. Does your son sense the headache coming on? (This is called an aura.) Where is the headache pain? (On one or both sides? In the front or back of the head?) Is the pain throbbing, sharp, etc.? Also, take note of any associated symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, visual, or neurological changes.
- What makes the headaches better? For example, does sleep help?
- What makes the headaches worse? Do bright light or noise intensify the headache?
As for managing migraine headaches in children, about half of migraines improve within six months after evaluation by a pediatric neurologist regardless of treatment. Multiple studies have shown this improvement in headaches, though the cause of this improvement is unknown. Although migraines often improve with time, most people with migraines will have these headaches for life.
As someone who suffers from migraines, you may know that we categorize migraine medications in two groups. The first group of medications is considered "rescue medication." These are medications you take when you have a migraine or when you sense a migraine is about to occur. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and triptans, such as sumatriptans, are the most commonly used medications in this category.
The other group of medications is called preventive medication. Patients with frequent migraines take this type of medication every day to prevent a migraine from occurring. Propranolol is a type of preventive medication that is sometimes used in children.
Many pediatric neurologists will begin management with having their patients keep a headache journal to identify triggers of migraines so patients can avoid triggers. The diary can also help you and your son recognize what improves his headaches, like possibly resting or sleeping in a dark room. If you can help your son identify his headache symptoms when they are just starting, you can give him a rescue medication like ibuprofen and have him immediately rest to help improve his symptoms more rapidly. However, the best management of your son's symptoms will likely occur with the input of a pediatric neurologist.
Q6. A classmate of my son's was diagnosed with something called eosinophilic esophagitis, which seems to involve allergies to many different foods. We can't bring cupcakes to school anymore unless they're free of eggs and wheat, which is tough on the kids and the bakers/parents. Can you tell me more about this disorder? Will this child grow out of it?
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is a newly recognized condition, first diagnosed in the 1960s. It is a disorder of the esophagus (the tube that takes food from the mouth to the stomach). Eosinophils are cells in the blood that are associated with certain types of infections and are frequently seen in response to an allergy. Usually, eosinophils are not present in the esophagus, but in this disorder they are, which causes problems.
The symptoms of EE are often very similar to those of GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (the technical term for heartburn). Patients may complain of pain and discomfort in the stomach and chest, sometimes combined with nausea and vomiting. The pain of EE can be so severe at times that children will refuse to eat. Food can even become stuck, or impacted, in the esophagus because of narrowing that can occur. Unfortunately, the typical treatment for GERD — antacids — does not relieve EE.
Research into the cause of this disorder has found that an allergic response to certain foods often results in the accumulation of eosinophils in the esophagus. Avoidance of the triggering foods can improve symptoms. Many children with EE react to several foods, the most common being eggs, milk, soy, wheat, and corn. Occasionally, kids have to eliminate many foods from their diet to improve their symptoms. Not all children with EE, however, respond to diet changes. There are other treatment options, though, such as steroids, and medicines that alter the response of the immune system can dramatically improve EE symptoms.
Just as food allergies have become more common recently, so has EE. In a study of children from Ohio, the condition was found to occur in 1.28 per 10,000 children on average. This disorder is more common in children who have a personal or family history of allergies or allergy-related conditions like asthma and eczema.
It is important to note that EE does not produce symptoms like those of typical food allergies. Patients generally do not develop hives or have a risk of anaphylaxis. But while other food allergies frequently improve with age, the prognosis of EE is different. Symptoms often improve, only to recur later. One study of 620 children found that after 14 years only 10 percent had resolution of symptoms and were able to tolerate foods that had triggered EE in the past.
EE is certainly a difficult disease for a child to have, and it often entails a very restricted diet. Your son's classmate has to avoid foods that are believed to trigger the EE; however, as I mentioned, EE is a different condition from typical food allergies and is not associated with life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Q7. My daughter's mouth has been twitching, and sometimes when it twitches she looks dazed and drools. I took her to see two doctors and they found nothing wrong. I need your advice.
— Pauline, New York
To fully advise you, I would certainly need to know more about your daughter, such as how old she is and more details about her symptoms. I would also need to examine her. That being said, it seems several doctors have investigated her symptoms already, and I am guessing that you and they were concerned about possible seizures. An EEG (electroencephalogram) and a head MRI can help diagnose if a child is having seizures; however, sometimes an EEG and an MRI can be normal even if a child has had seizures.
Another possible cause of your daughter's twitching is a tic disorder. To distinguish a tic disorder from a seizure, a careful description of what occurs will help make the correct diagnosis. If your daughter truly seems to be "dazed" and not conscious or alert, it is more likely a seizure than a tic disorder.
It may be most helpful to try to get a video of the episodes. I would then review the video with her pediatrician and possibly a child neurologist.
Q8. My daughter and son-in-law and their 4-year-old daughter live with us. They all survive on junk food — everything is all sugar. The healthiest thing in this child's diet is maybe a pancake or a grilled cheese sandwich. I'm concerned about her mental and physical health, because both of her parents have many problems, including obesity. How can I motivate them to improve how they eat and the way they feed their child?
— Grandma, Michigan
What you are describing is a very difficult situation for a grandparent to handle. If you start telling your daughter how to raise her child, you may run the risk of her resenting your 'over-involvement,' but if you say nothing then the child is at risk for continuing down an unhealthy path.
The one clear advantage you have is that you all live together. This provides you with the potential to influence eating habits through your example and by what foods you make available. Keep in mind, however, that children do eat so-called "fun foods" sometimes, and a family that creates an environment of "good foods" versus "bad foods" is equally unhealthy. Tight restriction of food choices and imposing adult dieting or a healthy-food-only mentality on children at a minimum puts them at risk for overeating the off-limits foods when out of your sight or at worst developing eating disorders.
With children, it is always best to focus on adding healthy foods as opposed to banning unhealthy ones. Studies have found that by adding more vegetables and fruits to the diet, children improve health and reduce unhealthy choices. Making sure to find ways to make healthier options kid-friendly is important too — the companies that make and market junk food are expert at this. Apply some of their strategies to serving healthier foods to kids. Be creative, cut veggies into fun shapes, present them in bowls with the child's favorite cartoon characters — anything to add a little kid-friendly twist. Also, teaching children that "junk" foods are to be moderated, not eliminated, is a very good message. Even Sesame Street's Cookie Monster now says, "Cookies are a sometimes food." Finally, and perhaps most importantly, model good portion sizes. If the serving dishes are normally brought out to the table at mealtime, try leaving them in the kitchen and serving individual, reasonably sized portions on half of each plate. Also ensure that half the plate has veggies on it. Teaching children the importance of eating moderate portions is perhaps the biggest gift you can give. Shared family mealtimes have also been shown to improve weight and health, so if possible, have certain times where everyone sits down for a meal together — even a few times a week will help.
Not to be overlooked is lack of physical activity — a huge contributor to the poor health of our children. If we add up all the time kids spend sitting in front of electronic screens (TV, video games, texting, computers), it is astonishing how little they are moving. Studies have shown that simply limiting the amount of screen time can increase children's physical activity and improve their weight and health. They may moan and groan and claim they're bored, but they soon find themselves looking for other ways to fill those missing screen hours — and often the alternative is movement. If you think about it, 20 years ago we all used to play more, and we were all at healthier weights.
Q9. How often should my newborn be screened by a doctor — and what will the doctor look for as my child ages?
Infants go to the doctor many times during the first year of life. There is some variation in the exact schedule of visits depending upon the doctor. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies see the pediatrician within two to three days after discharge from the hospital. Pediatricians at this first visit are looking at the baby's weight, checking for jaundice (yellowing of the skin due to liver problems), and offering support to the breastfeeding mother. At the first visit, the doctor will ask many questions to learn of any diseases that run in the family, to discuss any complications that may have resulted from pregnancy or birth, to get to know the family, and to find out how the family is adjusting to the newborn. There are many stressors during the newborn period, and parents often need a lot of support during this time. At the first visit, the doctor will completely examine the baby with particular focus on the skin for jaundice, the heart for any murmurs, the hips joints to make sure they are developing normally, and the umbilical cord for proper healing.
The next visit occurs within one to four weeks. Again, the exact timing varies depending on the doctor or patient. The doctor will check to make sure the infant has regained birth weight and is developing well and will again do a full physical exam. By this visit the doctor will have received the results of the newborn screen and will have learned of any abnormalities.
The two-, four-, and six-month visits are when many shots are given to protect against infections such as pneumococcus, hepatitis B, and whooping cough (pertussis)), to name a few. At nine months, the pediatrician does a more-formal developmental assessment of the infant. At the one-year visit, infants again get multiple shots such as measles, mumps, and chicken pox. At around one year, infants will have blood drawn to test for anemia and lead levels. Every visit during the first year will require a full examination and assessment of the infant's growth and developmental progress. Parents should certainly let doctors know if they have any concerns about their child's development. Each visit is also an opportunity for the pediatrician to give the parents "anticipatory guidance" — advice about how to prepare for the next stage in the child's life and how to keep the child safe. This includes discussions about issues such as having babies sleep on their backs to decrease the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), informing parents about the importance of childproofing the home, and brushing teeth.
The first year of life is a time of incredible change. Parents often have lots of questions. I recommend that they write down their questions and concerns before coming to the doctor. It can be difficult to remember to ask everything with so much going on during the visit!
Q10. I have a severe lack of energy at all times. I am 32, and I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't tired. I have seen my physician regarding this and come up empty. At first I thought it was anemia because I am always cold, but my doctor says there is no problem with my iron level. What could be the cause of my lack of energy? It feels like it is killing me. As a single mom with three children, I can't survive being tired all the time.
– Alicia, Missouri
I'm sorry you're having such a tough time, Alicia. As you well know, fatigue is defined as the sense of feeling tired and never having enough energy to do all that is required or desired throughout the day. There are many causes of fatigue, ranging from medical conditions such as anemia, underactive thyroid, diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, and several other possibilities, including mental health problems such as depression.
The most important first step in determining whether the cause of your fatigue is reversible is a comprehensive evaluation with a physician. A thorough examination, including laboratory tests and screening questionnaires, can help pinpoint the likely cause. I would be particularly interested in your thyroid function because cold intolerance is very common with an underactive thyroid.
If a complete evaluation does not identify a cause, certain strategies may help improve your symptoms. First, it is very important that you eat a nutritionally sound diet and get adequate rest every night. And even though it may seem difficult at first, a regular exercise routine can actually increase your energy level in the long run. You should avoid stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine; you may think these substances help in the short term, but they lead to a worsening of symptoms over time.
Finally, try to eliminate as much of the stress in your life as you can. Mental stress can be more fatiguing than any physical activity. I would also suggest that you check in on a periodic basis with your physician, as a diagnosis may become more apparent with time and repeated evaluations. For example, some diseases that cause fatigue — especially autoimmune diseases that affect women more frequently than men — can take several years before they become readily apparent, appearing as abnormalities in blood-chemistry and other tests.
Q11. I have scars on my lower abdomen from an appendectomy that I had 38 years ago and an emergency C-section I had 8 years ago. I have never had any problems with them before. The other night, however, I dove into a pool and felt a pulling sensation in the appendectomy scar. Today I have a very dark bruise over the area, and painful knots and bruising on the scar itself. What could be happening? Did I pull some adhesions loose, or is that impossible? Will this go away by itself? What should I do?
It is very possible that you could have pulled some adhesions, or scar tissue, loose, or even torn a little bit of muscle following your dive. The coloring you see is most likely related to bleeding in your subcutaneous tissue as a result of the trauma. If you are taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatories, such as ibuprofen, your platelets are inhibited in their normal clotting function, and that may have led to some of your bleeding.
It's key that you act on how you are feeling. If the pain is diminishing and you are not feeling any other symptoms, it is probably safe to just apply ice for the first 24 to 48 hours and then switch to heat. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) does not interfere with your blood's ability to clot, so you can take it if you're in pain. (Do avoid aspirin and ibuprofen, however.) If the pain persists or increases, or if new symptoms develop, you should certainly consult your physician. I would expect the bruise to turn every color of the rainbow before slowly disappearing. Try to rest the area as well — no more diving or sit-ups for now.

Investor's Business Daily cited CEI's Senior Fellow Marc Scribner airline deregulation.
Americans often express mixed feelings about today's airlines, with their missed schedules, small seats, extra charges, missing meals, and nearly nonexistent service. These are legitimate complaints, but in fact are really about individual airlines. Deregulation didn't cause these problems; they're management issues and failures.
The truth is, when it comes to the flying public, airline deregulation was a major win. Before deregulation, airlines charged those who flew a take-it-or-leave-it price for an airline ticket. Flying was outrageously expensive on some routes. You had no choice. Pay up, or drive. Or take a slow train. Or a bus.
So was airline deregulation a success? Marc Scribner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in a blog post, argues the answer is yes. The data are convincing.

Connectivity is vital to a future managed and shaped by smart hardware, and Chinese startup Showmac Tech is proposing eSIMs as the infrastructure solution for seamless and stable communication between devices and the service providers behind.
Xiaomi accepted the proposition and doled out an investment for the startup's angel round in 2017. Now Showmac has convinced more investors to be onboard as it banked close to 100 million yuan ($15 million) in a Series A+ round led by Addor Capital, with participation from GGV Capital and Hongtai Aplus.
"We believe cellular communication will become a mainstream trend in the era of IoT. Wi-Fi works only when it's connected to a small number of devices, but when the number increases dramatically it becomes unreliable," said Lily Liu, founder and chief executive of Showmac, during an interview with TechCrunch.
Unlike a traditional SIM, short for "subscriber identity module," an eSIM doesn't need to be on a removable card, doing away the need for the SIM card slot on a device. Rather, it will be welded onto the device's integrated chip during assembly and is valid for different network operators. To chipmakers, Showmac's eSIM functions like an application or software development kit (SDK), Liu observed.
The company began as a pilot project supplying eSIMs to Xiaomi's ecosystem of connected devices and subsequently set up an entity when the solution proved its viability. Its core products today include eSIM cards for IoT devices, an eSIM communication module and gateway, and connection management software as a service.
To date, Showmac has powered more than 10 million devices, around 30% of which are affiliated with Xiaomi, which through in-house development and external investments has constructed an empire of IoT partners reliant on its operating system and consumer reach.
The majority of Showmac's clients are providers of shared goods, those of which "ownership and right to use are separate," explained Liu, who earned a PhD in economics from China's prestigious Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Shared bikes and Luckin's shared coffee mugs are just a few examples.
Showmac is hardly a forerunner in the global eSIM space, but the founder believed few competitors could match it on the level of supply chain resources, thanks to its ties with Xiaomi.
"As an R&D-oriented and relatively young team, we are very fortunate to have experienced large-scale industrial activity that churns out products in the hundreds of thousands and even millions every day. [Xiaomi] has provided us with this precious opportunity," the founder said.
With a staff of 40-50 employees across Beijing and Shenzhen, the startup is currently focusing on the Chinese market, but has plans for overseas expansion in the long run.
"We are not the first to make eSIM in the world, but being in China, the center of the world's electronics manufacturing, we are in a superior position to get things done," suggested Liu.
The arrival of 5G is a boon to the startup, the founder believed. "5G will spurn more IoT devices and applications, giving rise to the need for IoT [devices] with cross-carrier and cross-region capabilities," she said.
Showmac says it will spend its newly raised capital on mass-producing its integrated eSIM modules, research and development, and business development.

But wait… it just got better! I'm now downloading apps and one of the latest that I just tried is a Mobile App for Verizon FiOS television which allows the user to turn a smart phone into a remote control!
Mobile Remote
The overall process of adding your phone as a mobile remote to your FiOS HD DVR is super simple. Of course, I had to complicate things slightly. I mentioned I was a novice with the smart phone, right? Well, here I will divulge just how new to this world I am… I kept trying to pair my phone with the TV, and it wouldn't work. Want to know the silly, simple reason why? I neglected to install the app on my smart phone! That was my "duh" moment right there!
Installation on the phone as well as the pairing to FiOS was a quick process. I don't think it took more than 3 minutes, and possibly not even that long. Voila! My phone is now a remote!
Cool, but is it Practical?
Not 30 minutes after I had a new mobile phone/remote control did the practical application of this device come in handy. I was in the kitchen, prepping dinner with two little munchkins at my knees. Finally, I say, "Let's what a show!". The remote control was in the family room stuck between sofa cushions, of course. But, my phone was just an arms length away! I grabbed it, opened the app, selected On Demand and chose an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! That bought me just enough time to finish getting dinner in the oven! Yay!
Please note that Verizon FiOS is only available in select parts of the country. Check the following link to determine if Verizon FiOS is available in your area: http://j.mp/CIGFa
*Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a brand team campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Verizon FiOS. Verizon will send me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
