Earlier this summer we visited our farmer's market
and stocked up on yummy local food.
Part of our haul that day was a basket of sweet potatoes.
We ate MOST of them.
Steamed (like a baked potato - but yummier and orange!)
in the microwave.
Sliced and tossed with olive oil
in the oven to make sweet potato fries.
We even grilled some one night on the grill in the backyard.
But alas....two of the sweet potatoes
were forgotten
on the kitchen counter.
They languished in a corner behind
watercolor paintings,
and my daughter's lunch box
until one day...
I was actually cleaning the kitchen
(I know!)
and found our lonesome potatoes.
They were getting tiny purple buds.
I wondered if you could just put them in water
like you do with a bulb
and get them to grow into a plant.
A-Ha -- A Science and Gardening project for the girls!
(read: Mom's slacker house-keeping
leads to educational experiences)
Woo- hoo!!
Sorry compost, you don't get my
sweet potatoes that easily!!
We inserted some tooth picks into
our two sweet spuds,
suspended them in glasses of water on the kitchen counter
(near the Aero-Garden and sink window
to get some light...)
low and behold -- they actually grew into plants.
The girls thought it was the
coolest thing ever!
We have transplanted them to our garden and
they are going
I think we may even be able to dig them
up later and get more sweet potatoes.
Now that is cool!
Recycling at it's finest.

"It's time to celebrate literacy in Kentucky!
Join in the celebrations to help promote literacy for all!"
Kentucky Literacy Celebration is a result of collaboration among several literacy/education institutions and Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear. The intent of the event is to highlight literacy in Kentucky, celebrate the accomplishments and focus on the challenges we still face as a state. The week of March 5 through March 9, 2012, has been set aside for this second annual statewide event. The week will be marked by a number of activities and announcements. The First Lady will be traveling across the state to visit a number of schools, adult education centers, libraries, communities, and businesses. Links providing the First Lady's schedule along with a list of statewide celebration events will be available on the "Events" tab below.
The Kentucky Literacy Celebration (KLC) Week began in 2011 with the intent of focusing on Kentucky's achievements in literacy as well as highlighting challenges we still face as a state. Governor Steve Beshear issued a recurring proclamation about this unique event. Multiple partners and supporters are pulling together again this year to celebrate Kentucky and literacy.
All of Kentucky's citizens are invited to join by participating in or hosting a literacy-related activity. Schools and educational entities may plan events for their students and staff to highlight literacy. Libraries may spotlight books and authors. Communities and businesses may sponsor an activity that brings awareness to literacy issues and their relevance to workforce, economic, and cultural prosperity. Families may dedicate specific time to read together. Individuals may volunteer to share a book or help with a literacy-related school project. The possibilities are limitless. The goal is to have every Kentucky resident engage in a literacy event, public or private, to emphasize the importance of all aspects of literacy.
All events may be submitted for inclusion in the celebration schedules. An online form will allow entities to share their events with specific information related to each. A Facebook page has been established to also allow for comments, support, event announcements, literacy activity ideas, and photos.
Share your events with us so we may post them on the dedicated web page. This can be done by completing and submitting the Event Announcement Form below or by directly posting to our Facebook page. Please provide specific details, including if the event is open and you want to invite others to participate. A field is included to list registration and contact information for emails, web addresses, and/or phone numbers. Be sure to submit a brief summary about your activity. All submissions will be compiled into a daily listing of activities categorized by county.
Event Announcement Form
All Kentuckians are invited to host, share, or participate in a literacy event. Listings of events submitted from all across the state are provided below. In order to best capture and list all the events, they have been grouped by date. Some encompass an entire week, while others are on specific days. Events are coming in continually, so the pages will be updated daily to accommodate additional participation announcements. Event announcements may be submitted using the "KLC Event Announcement Form".

There are a few nice command line tools that really help with wireless AP discovery and application, as follows.
- Verify that you have wireless-tools installed (is by default in Yellow Dog 5 for Apple) and that it sees the device:
[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig eth1 eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"Broadcom 4306" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point: Invalid Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
- Scan for your wireless AP (if you don't know the settings):
[root@localhost ~]# iwlist eth1 scanning eth1 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:13:46:EF:8D:64 ESSID:"Cercle" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Channel:6 Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Quality=89/100 Signal level=-62 dBm Noise level=-67 dBm Extra: Last beacon: 52ms ago Cell 02 - Address: 00:C0:49:EC:37:40 ESSID:"foobar" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Channel:8 Encryption key:off Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s 11 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 22 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Quality=97/100 Signal level=-44 dBm Noise level=-67 dBm Extra: Last beacon: 4ms ago
From this output above, my laptop can see two wireless APs. One is mine (foobar) and the other is another one in close proximity. I can now use this to set my wireless setup. From above, I can see that I have encryption off (see another how-to to enable encryption), my AP is channel 8 and the SSID is 'foobar': - And now I can get an IP from it via DHCP:
[root@localhost ~]# dhclient eth1 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.3-RedHat Copyright 2004-2005 Internet Systems Consortium. All rights reserved. For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP Listening on LPF/eth1/00:11:24:a1:a9:4d Sending on LPF/eth1/00:11:24:a1:a9:4d Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.123.254 DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.123.254 bound to 192.168.123.100 -- renewal in 275368 seconds.
And I can now see that I've been assigned 192.168.123.100 as my IP address. I am now connected and can surf as I please.

Nuremberg – Leoni AG of Nuremberg (ISIN DE 0005408884 / WKN code 540888) has significantly raised its forecast for the current financial year. The Management Board's projections for fiscal 2011 are now sales of about EUR 3.4 billion and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of approximately EUR 210 million. The Company's previous estimates were sales of at least EUR 3.1 billion and EBIT of around EUR 170 million.
The principal reason for this adjustment is a very strong first quarter. Based on provisional figures, Leoni generated record quarterly results with sales of about EUR 910 million and EBIT of roughly EUR 61 million from January to March. The raised estimates are also based on prospects of stable business for the subsequent quarters.
The adjusted forecast applies provided that international trouble spots like the natural and nuclear disaster in Japan as well as the upheaval in North Africa do not affect Leoni's business performance any more than to the currently expected extent.
More comprehensive reporting with further key figures will follow as scheduled on 10 May 2011 with presentation of the final business results for the first quarter.

Coast Guard launches icebreaking operations in the Twin Ports
Icebreaking got underway in the Duluth-Superior port starting Monday.
Icebreaking got underway in the Duluth-Superior port starting Monday.
The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Alder will commence icebreaking operations in the waters of the Duluth Harbor out to Lake Superior. This will include ice-covered areas normally used for recreation such as he Superior Front Channel, Superior and Duluth harbor basins, East Gate, the entry channels into Duluth and Superior harbors and ice in Lake Superior adjacent to Minnesota Point. It also includes navigable waters of Silver Bay, Taconite Harbor and Two Harbors in Minnesota.
These icebreaking efforts will expand and increase in frequency as the ice and demands of shipping require.
All ice fishermen should remove their ice shacks and equipment from these areas. Snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle operators and other recreational users of the ice should avoid the chipping channels, plan activities carefully and use caution near the ice. For information, call (906) 635-3232 or email email@example.com.

Dogfighting in the Pacific
Air & Space reader and U.S. Navy public affairs officer Lieutenant David Tarr sent us a bunch of very cool images from the crew of the USS George Washington, stationed in the Pacific. In October, the Navy's Strike Fighter Squadron 27 and Carrier Air Wing 5 engaged in Dissimilar Aircraft Combat Training with the Royal Malaysian Air Force, pitting their F/A-18E Super Hornets in dogfights with the Royal Mace Su-30 MKM Flanker and allowing the pilots real-world training with non-U.S. aircraft. The RMAF also flies the MiG-29 Fulcrum N and the BAE Hawk; Navy pilots were allowed to sit in the cockpit of the MiG and tour the facilities before the training, as well. As Lieutenant Commander Noel Norten, who participated in one of the dogfights, explained:
[It was] surreal. You spend so much of your career training to a potential threat aircraft and studying their capabilities and limitations, formulating a game plan that pits your strengths against their weaknesses, but you never really see it in action. Then, bang, there you are. All of a sudden you're at the merge with a real Su-30MKM and you're doing all of the things that you've dedicated the last ten years of your life to practicing and perfecting. It was a totally awesome experience that I hope I get to repeat.

LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, December 1, 1967 No. 10 Father Twomey — a committed man Sealed on his face His face tells the whole story. His words are only an oral manifestation of what is pictured so clearly in the variety of grimaces, contortions and smiles that illustrate his conversations. The Rev. Louis J. Twomey, S.J., is a committed man. As director of Loyola's Institute of Human Relations and as a Christian, he has pledged himself to helping the citizens of this country overcome racial discrimination and prejudice. His pledge is sealed on his face. Father Twomey's latest contribution to this cause was as one of the chief consultants to the Very Rev. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., General of the Society of Jesus, in writing an 11 -page letter to the Jesuits of the United States urging them to work with greater fervor for the rights and wellbeing of Negroes. Often his sentences turn into paraphrases of the Declaration of IndependenceIndependence and somehow seem trite because they are well-worn. But at the same time his face is in action, and there is no doubt that his thoughts are much deeper than his words suggest."This is a challenge to all men of good will," he asserts, "and there are men of good will at Loyola." Father Twomey thinks that education has too often failed to instill in men the proper respect for the dignity of other men. He says that men must see the same human dignity in others as they see in themselves. "I don't think a person can be a fully human being," he says, "unless he looks at his fellow man as fully a human being." Negroes have come out on the short end in the development of the United States, Father Twomey explains, as he becomes very sullen. And, he continues, the Negro will re- Bel if he is not given a better chance to live comfortably. With a taut face, Father Twomey says, "We are now in serious trouble." But, he thinks, there is hope for the future. "I have great confidence in American youth," he says, his face beaming, "and particularly in Southern youth." Father Twomey explains that Southern youth are growing up with a desire to be free of prejudices. They are, he says, full of idealism. Students, he feels, must be honest with themselves and get their own thinking "straightened out" about racial justice. He says they should be willing to make "sacrifices to fight for human freedom on the home front." Jesuits, too, have a great contribution to make in the quest for racial justice, Father Twomey says. He explains that Father Arrupe's proposal to establish Jesuit houses within city slum areas is a means by which the society can prove to the underprivleged that someone does care. He calls this type of program "a dramatic expression of the society's interest in the voiceless poor." Jesuits should work, Father Twomey asserts, to help the Negro develop a "positive image" of himself. The Negro voice is weak in proportion to its population, he says, and Jesuits can help to make the situation more equitable. Father Twomey feels that those Jesuits, after living in the slums, can approach the white community to "repair the damage, injury and cruelty" that the Negroes have suffered throughout this country's history. "The Negro wants exactly what we take for granted," Father Twomey says, with more than a little hint of frustration. He said that anyone who graduates from college should realize this. Father Twomey often uses the word, "challenge," and, when he does, his face twists like at no other time. It is almost as if by the mere mention of the word his adrenelin glands are aroused to their peak of production.We can preach Christ and democracy, he says, but, until the ideals they stand for are applied, racial injustice will continue. " a dramatic expression" 'fight for human freedom 'repair the damage' LU to have new security system; Stevens chosen new chief of force By LOUIS LASSUS Loyola will have a new security system this month, announced the Rev. J. Joseph Molloy, S.J., Vice-President for Student Affairs. The university-owned Loyola University Security will relieve Advance Industrial Security on Dec. 26, said Edward M. Stevens, head of the Loyola security. Father Molloy said that the change is necessary because Loyola now has different security needs. Because the university has a greatly increased total number of resident students over the past few years, said Father Molloy, a more "specialized" security is needed.Stevens, a 42-year-old retired New Orleans Police captain, explained that he hopes to employ ten ex-New Orleans policemen for the force. He wants a "pre-trained force" of "experienced law enforcement" men, he said. He added that these men must be "matured professional law enforcers." Stevens explained that each man on the force must have a special officers commission from the New Orleans Police Department. This entitles the men to bear arms to and from work and in their area of employ, he said. It also allows them to make arrests, he stated. Stevens stressed that he hopes to have the "cooperation of the faculty, staff, and students" of Loyola. He said that Loyola is a "city in a city" and that the "security is only as good as the community's support." The security guards need the support of the university community just as the city police need the. support of the citizens, he said. Stevens, a native of New Orleans, retired after 20 years of service on the New Orleans Police Force. He started as a patrolman in 1947, gradually worked his way up to captain, and was on the district detective bureau. During his last year on the force he was commanding officer of the Community Relations Division of the New Orleans Police Department. TOM WHITE AND MIKE McCONNELL Report on student power conference NSA membership profitable By DWIGHT OTT Representatives report Loyola would profit by joining the National Student Association (NSA), said Tom White and Mike McConnell in a recent interview. Both were sent by the Student Council to the NSA power conference to explore the possibilities of an NSA membership for Loyola. McConnell, council treasurer, ranks Loyola "medium range" on a national basis in its attitude toward student rights. He feels that with NSA help this standing could be improved.He and White, council vice-president, agree that by joining NSA Loyola students could gain legal power that would otherwise be impossible due to expense. For instance, says McConnell, the NSA is trying to form a lawyer's pool like that of the NAACP to provide member colleges with the legal assistance needed to fight for their rights. He cited instances of "speaker bans" as cases when such a service might be needed. A case is now pending in North Carolina where the University of North Carolina is contesting the state's right to legally ban Communist speakers on campus. He points also to a case in Alabama where a school editor had been dismissed and students were legally able to force his re-instatement. Not only would such legal service be easily accessible to Loyola, said McConnell and White, but it would also be made "ridiculously inexpensive." The dues for membership maintenance in the NSA, they say, are less than $50 a year. McConnell and White participated in workshops at the conference that gave them new insight into studentfaculty relationship on campus. "In a lot of universities," McConnell says, "students are there (on committees)committees) to determine even what admissions policies will be followed." Loyola, he says, does not have enough representation on committees that decide academic policy. However, he quickly concedes that as to social regulations—"especially as concerns girls"—the school ranks as very liberal. "Nor," adds White, "is the school in dire need of demonstrations." He said that it was merely important to "know where to ask the proper questions," and contact the "proper persons" in solving campus problems. White stresses that as an individual member of the NSA Loyola will not be bound by the national policy or political statements of NSA. Group set up to delineate student rights A committee to draw up a statement of student rights and freedoms has been formed by the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J. Father Jolley, in a letter to Student Council President Tom Wright, asked for help in preparing a proposed statement on student rights and freedoms which will be approved by several faculty and student organizations during the coming months. Wright said the committee's first job is to draw up an initial proposal, which will form the basis for further discussion. Father Jolley, he said, wants this completed by Dec. 22. The committee will also use the Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students, which was prepared this past year by the National Student Association, the American Association of University Professors and the Joint Drafting Committee of University Professors, as a guide in formulating the Loyola statement. The committee is unique in that it is the first time equal representation has been given to all three segments of the university—administration, faculty and students. Members of the committee are: Billy Guste, Mike McConnell and Tom Wright, student representatives; Dr. Robert McLean, chairman of the math department, Dr. Hilda Smith, professor in the Department of Education and Henry Engler, professor in the College of Business Administration, faculty representatives; Dr. John Christman, Vice-President for Academic Affairs, the Rev. Joseph Molloy, S.J., Vice President for Student Affairs and the Rev. John Mullahy, S.J., serving in the capacity of chairman of the Board of Directors, representatives from the administration. Next semester the committee plans to draft a statement on student rights as applies to specific situations at Loyola.In a letter to Father Jolley, Wright said, "The general feeling (of the Student Council) is that Loyola should adopt a . . . statement on the rights of students and in doing so, pinpoint what position the students occupy in the university." Wright expressed his pleasure that students were given a chance to participate on a high-level university committee. The announcement of the new committee was first made public by Wright at last week's Student Council meeting. He told the council members then that they would be consulted before the final document was completed.Blue Key Talent Night to unveil 17 student acts The 30th annual Blue Key Talent Night will present a variety of entertainment in the form of 17 acts for the enjoyment of Loyola students and residents of New Orleans tomorrow night in the Field House. Curtain time is 8 p.m. There will be a presentation of awards for the acts judged best in each of the three catagories of competition: variety, group and individual.Competition in the variety division will consist of a comedy burlesque by the law school, "Madame Butterball" by Upsilon Beta Lambda social fraternity, "Fat Girl, or Youthful Bod Rides Again" by Phi Phi Phi social sorority, and "Happiness is Going to College" by Sigma Sigma Sigma social sorority. Participating in group competition will be the folk-singing duo known as The College Twins; a piano duet by Sisters Ignatius, 0.P., and Marie Charles, D.C.; "The After Five" pop rock music group; and the "Marijuana Brass," a presentation made by Beggars social fraternity. The individual category will offer a ballet by Darleen Lachart, and Ray Fransen's drum music. Angel TrosclairTrosclair will do a popular musical act, Mike Luther will present a comedy act, Cheryl Lee Surla will present opera selections, Frank Sanderson will give a psychedelic religious folk ballad, Renee Slaughter will play selections on the trumpet, and Ed Donnelly will give a piano solo. Selections were made through auditions, and Blue Key member Tom White says, "The competition was very stiff this year, and this should be one of the finest talent nights in the past few years." Loyola's Homecoming Queen and court will also be presented at the show. Some past performers in Talent Night have been opera stars Marguerite Piazza, Charles Anthony, and Norman Treigle; Sid Noel of radio and television, and local actors John Wilmot and A 1 Becker.

Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Letting go through writing helps caregivers

As I look over the posts from many of you over the past year, I'm overjoyed by the support, advice, experiences and heartfelt stories you've shared with one another.
There are no easy answers, and loving someone with a disease like Alzheimer's brings with it sadness, anger, grief and uncertainly. Yet, I hope this blog has offered many of you a place to share your feelings candidly and without judgment. Often it is through the process of writing that we become aware of the surge of emotions we have locked within us. Letting go (through writing and/or journaling) helps free us from the negative impact unexpressed emotions can have.
In addition, I hope that this blog has been a place where you recognize that your experiences are shared by others who really do care and understand. Finally, I hope that a few of you felt empowered or inspired by what someone else offered through their words. Please continue to come back often in 2011, a community of support will be waiting.
Yours in Support,
"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." — Kahlil Gibran

Try and not feel guilty about anything you have done or not done. You are there and were there for your loved ones. Others that could have been were not. I took care of my mother for 4.5 years without any help. My family abandoned her. I almost killed myself trying to care for her all day every day. I stayed up all night for a year and a half worrying that she would stop breathing. I would sleep from 6 am to 11 am. I stayed up with her since she could only sleep for an hour or two at a time. The rest of the family was no where to be found. They were out having fun enjoying their lives. God loves you and knows you need help. He created you because he wanted someone just like you. Your DNA makes you different from any other human that has ever lived. God loves you every single day and He is still on the throne. Don't forget it. He does know what you are going through. You will be rewarded for all that you are doing so hang in there.

My mother suffered from dementia and Alzheimer's. When her doctor put her on fluconazole (generic for Diflucan) I noticed her dementia went away. She seemed to be in a continual drug cloud which I thought was the dementia. She was spacey and out of it. After two weeks on fluconazole she was joking around with us. She had not done that in almost 6 years. I felt like I had woke up in the Twilight Zone but it was nice to have her back. The doctors do not like to prescribe this drug because they have been told that it may upset liver enzymes. I had my mother's liver enzymes checked weekly and there was never any problem. I think it is a warning from the pharmaceutical industry because it actually helps and eliminates the need for the dementia and Alzheimer's drugs that have to be taken every day until death. There is a lot more money in this every day management of disease than there is in the curing of disease. Watch out for "disease management" doctors. There are something like 57,000 drugs and not one that actually cures a disease. That should be a giant red flag to us all!

Cynthia, I am so sad for you. I understand your challenge to a degree. I, too, cared for my husband's guardian when she was in her late seventies. She was very strong and healthy except for Alzheimers. She was a petite woman and deeply spiritual, but this disease produces odd behaviors it seems. We had to eventually place her in a nursing home because of the sudden spurts of violence (I had children at home). It was many years ago - now there is medication that can help her relax. Get it for your MIL before you get hurt. Help is available thru your county nurse also, I think. Alz is an awful disease - seems to affect people differently - no one size fits all. Caregivers must not be "victims". God bless you. You need to be able to sleep at night, in peace.

Thank you Roberta, and Joan for your comments. This is a wonderful site to chat isn't it! I'll check to see if the network is available here in south Jersey. Right now I would welcome a "listener" !!! My husband loves to talk about his early childhood in W.Va., his years of contracting, etc. stories both true and imaginative! A young second cousin in Ohio phones him and lets him talk at length - just listens, laughs, and encourages the memories (true or untrue). I consider her an angel!!!!! She has never met him but learned about us from her mother, now deceased. When she phones unexpectedly about once a month, my heart sings! I hope to meet this sweet caring young lady someday. She is aware my husband completely forgets the conversation when they hang up but considers him (81) like a friendly Grandfather I guess! God bless anyone who has the patience to just "listen" (playing checkers is good too)

In response to Ginny's 1/27/2011 comment about not being able to find a paid companion to sit with her loved one. I have found several wonderful companions through Elder Network and Home Instead Senior Care here in Rochester. I have someone in my home everyday for 2 to 3 hours and someone to sleep over 2 nights per week. Mom is totally bedridden and requires assistance with all activities of daily living in addition to constant reassurance for her anxiety. I don't believe she could get that one-on-one attention in either assisted living or memory care units. It works for us.

Thank you Ginny I think Namenda also worsened my mom's agitation I agree the facility needs to be constantly re-evaluated, and we as family members need to be around alot to notice changes and needs. God bless you all who are caring for your loved ones at home.

I have read Joan's recent comment. In my husband's case I discovered medications caused problems - I stopped Aricept, Namenda, and another one after just a couple days - nightmares and agitation occured and who needs that. Just plain Zoloft worked best to curb anxiety. Even that and Halidol have side effects of course, but in his case, they are working okay, and Dr. gives the lowest possible dose of each. Just think about it. I did not have any evaluation - just an ordinary cat scan and Dr. visits once every month. I care for him at home and am learning how to meet the challenges - so far. Assisted living homes are wonderful but facility must be constantly evaluated.

My mom was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment about a year and a half ago. We moved her to assisted living as it was clear that she could not live alone anymore a year ago. She had a complete neuro-psych eval started on aricept, prozac and namenda has almost daily visits from family members and is in a caring, interactive living facility. Since early fall she seems to be steadily declining she's lost over 30 pounds (she is obese), does not seem to feel hunger, she is more and more confused and is constantly saying "I gotta get outta here" seeming to refer to her living facility but she can be anywhere when she says it, she is agitated and angry, she was started today on seroquil but not before she shoved an aide into the wall, My mom has been physical in her life it is so sad because she seems miserable for almost every waking moment. Any suggestions as to how to help someone who is so angry, confused and agitated. She also wants to "go back to bed" when ever she is not engaged in an activity. She's being followed by her primary MD and a neurologist (who recently said it is probably AD) and she will have a consult by a psychiatrist soon, also we are bringing her to a geriatric assessment center with Alzheimer's specialists

I bought several books, including "The 36 Hour Day", to help in my search for understanding dementia. Years ago it was simply called "hardening of the arteries". One book is called "What If It Is Not Alzheimers?" I call my husband's problem "vascular dementia" but lately their are signs of Alzheimers and I know I must adapt to more "new normals". Another challenge - it is not easy to find a family member or volunteer, or someone who will sit with a senior in the home and be paid for it. I am constantly being told to get out of the house more frequently without my husband. I wish!

I just found a note my mother wrote to herself at the beginning of her disease which show some awareness of her condition. She made a list of nutritional supplements, certain foods and the necessity of staying "mentally alert". Then she made a note to get more information about Alzheimers with an address. My mother's friend told me she was amazed about the speed of my mother's decline after my father's 1998 death (Mom is 93 now). I have often wondered about the connection but am told all the time that the disease was probably already present. I think that there must be a connection between grief and dementia but since it's not scientifically provable it's ignored. What do I think now that my mother's had the disease for almost 13 years? That we, my 6 siblings and I should never have left my mother alone to spend half the year in Florida. I doubt it would've changed the course of her disease but she must have felt so bereft and for that I feel regret. There's got to be a better way.

My heart goes out to all of you trying to do your best for a loved one with dementia/alzheimer. Having cared for my Mom, I now realize that the general heath care profession does not understand what is involved in caring for a loved one with lets just call it 'memory difficulties'. There is so much more involved and symptoms depend on the individuals and so do calming techniques and medicines. What may work to establish some "normalcy" for one may not work for another with this terrible affliction. Our health care professional at all levels need to be educated about the terrible disease called alzheimer/dementia because they have no clue how to treat these patients to keep them safe and to preserve their dignity. Cancer and its treatment options are understood and accepted. But alzheimers/ dementia is a psychotic condition that is still not understood by the medical profession at large. Statistics indicate that this affliction will grow as the population ages, but we have a poorly educated medical profession to address the issues presented by such patients. Those patients in the the future will be you and me. It is a scary scenario especially if you have no wife, husband or child to take care of you and advocate your well being as what is still considered just "being crazy" with dementia/azheimer.I implore all of you to get the word out. The public and medical establishment needs to educated to help our loved ones today and tomorrow. What can I, a daughte

For a while I felt I was on the only one dealing with a difficult situation, it helps to know I'm not after reading other people's stories. My dad died of a heart attack 18 months ago at the age of 63, 10 days later we found out mum 62 has vasular dementia and early onset alz and could no longer live by herself. I live 3 hours away and have 2 small children a 2 year old and 5 year old. Since Dad's death mum has declined at a rapid speed within 20 months she has gone from talking, cooking some meals and driving a car to not speaking at all, unsure if she recognises us and after a fall 5 months ago which resulted in a broken hip, she is now not mobile and sleeps approx 22 hours a day with small moments of wakefulness 5 - 10 mins at a time. My last 3 visits I never saw her with her eyes open. It is heart breaking on top of that I have had to mover her as I have had numerous problems with the care facility she was in. I guess I just feel a bit stretched with 2 small children, a business, living 3 hours away and trying to do my best for mum. There I feel better now - moan over - lol. Thanks :)

When my husband began exhibiting signs of short term memory loss, accelerated by TURP surgery, I researched vascular dementia, read several books by caregivers for Alzheimers, and prepared as best I could for a long lonely ride into the twilight zone. I use the ten absolutes: Never argue - instead, agree. Never reason, - instead, distract. Never shame, - instead, distract. Never lecture, - instead, reassure, and never say "remember" - instead, just reminisce. Also - find a good doctor who will perscribe anxiety or anti-psychotic medications for your patient - never think every day will be the same - expect the unexpected. Living with a husband or parent who repeats subjects for hours, has bizarre dreams and hallucinations, and who may even become threatening -requires sacrifices and lots of prayer. Faith keeps me going. Don't give in or give up - I keep thinking "what if it were me and not him".

My husband and myself are the caregivers for both of our mothers. He himself is disabled with multiple physical health and mental health issues. I work full time and attend college to further my degree. Most times he is very supportive and helpful. But when he is having a bad time himself, I feel I just don't know what I am going to do. My mother is soon to be 89 years old a widow of the only man she ever loved and was married to for 56 years before his passing, seven years ago. She was officially diagnosed four years ago, but probably was in beginning stages long before. In a three week period my mother went from asking for my father, to crying herself to sleep, asking why her mom and dad won't come and get her. It is so sad to watch this process. I don't know how to comfort her when I cannot know what is really going on inside her head. She cries almost all the time. She sleeps off and on most of the day. I try keep her involved in familiar activities to keep her awake so she sleeps at night. One thing I find she enjoys is folding towels and simple items. There isn't enough laundry to keep her busy all day so I have gone to extreme measures. I have emptied my linen closet of clean items just to have her fold them. She and my husband sometimes getting into arguments as he tries to keep her awake or tries to get her to eat. Once when I attempted to referee the bout, my husband responded with, "She never gets in trouble". OMG, who says something like

I made a postivie step this week in that I "hired" my 19 year old granddaughter to help me. She came to our house every day this week and fixed lunch for grandpa, did some house work and laundry. That ment that I did not have to go to work early in order to have a longer lunch house to come home. It has done several things: I am less worried and tired, the house is clean, my granddaughter has some pocket money, BUT my husband delights in her company and we are making him happy within the parameters of what he can understand. This may only last for a short while but I am going to try to just do a week at a time. Maggie, ccaregiver for husband, Carl

One work of advice is to get help especially when you are the only family member. I contacted a friend that does companion care and she visits my mom twice a week now for 2 hours each visit. They play cards and visit. This allows me to have those days off and I am at peace knowing that she would contact me with any concerns. My mother had spinal fusion surgery and I was going every day and calling multiple times. With working a full time job, I felt totally exhausted after 6 weeks of that. She was in a body cast to support her back and had to be helped in and out of it. I also relied on help from the facility she lives at, CNA and another companion to help put the brace on in the morning. I am fortunate that my mother has the finances to support this. I will always be grateful to those that have helped me through this stage! She is now out of the brace and now we are back to only dealing with the dementia.

I agree with many feelings that others have posted. It has been the most stressful time of my life. I am the only child living here locally to take care of my mom. My sister is supportive but only comes out once a year for about a week. I am fortunate that my mother still is in the early stages of dementia where she still thanks me for the care and support that I give her. She does have occasional temper outbursts but I try to realize that this is probably her way of letting out her frustrations because of her life being out of control. She is aware that she can not remember short term events and now is starting to slip on some of her long term memories. I find myself angry when this happens because I don't want to accept that we are now moving into the next phase of the disease. She can still live independently in a retirement place but is close to having to move to the dependent area. I grieve for this next move because she will lose her nice patio home and move to a one room arrangement. I realize that I may be the one grieving more than her because as long as she feels secure, she seems to be happy. I have also found that her Exelon patch has helped her tremendously for mood enhancement. When she was off it, she was more angry and compative. I know this isn't for every patient and needs to be discussed with their physician.

Jo Ann, I punched my sister after we celebrated my mother's 93 birthday (and year 7 since she was diagnosed with Alz). I posted on Jan 1 about my 2004 Christmas memories with my mother but forgot to put my name. It still just haunts me that we couldn't give her comfort in the earlier phases when she struggled to mask it. She slept a lot of the time thankfully. I want to tell you all that she actually became less miserable as the disease progressed and after she was moved to assisted living and felt safe. We also became closer as the disease progressed as she seemed to accept it and I learned patience and how to reach her through shared activities mostly outdoors walking and in drives in the country. I have made a vow which is very difficult to keep not to focus on the terrible, hurtful things my siblings have hurled at me over the years. Their lives have not been undone by health and financial problems and some of them just visit our mother once a year. I'm not writing anything these weeks but I'm going on blogs that inspire me and spending time with some of Mom's friends. I don't know if being my mother's caretaker was what made me ill and depressed so I urge all of you to learn more and get support from whatever source. I thought I could do it alone but it's impossible.

I have read comments now for several months, without posting anything. After reading I see I am not alone, it helps. Today i called a support group in my area for i need helpwith my aging mother with dementia. I thought i could do it on my own, now after 5 years i realize i cant.

I was tempted to feel sorry for myself today until I read some of the other comments. From now on I will pray not just for myself and my family, but for anyone who is in this situation. It's ironic-for most of his life, my father was someone I feared-the angry, critical disciplinarian. If there is any silver lining to this disease, it's that he now has wonderful imaginary "memories" of good times we shared, trips we went on, etc. His face lights up as he "remembers". And he tells me that he's proud of me and loves me more often than he ever did when I was growing up. I know this won't last-he is more likely to become angry and aggressive as the disease progresses-but for now it's what I hold onto when I'm frustrated and tired. Hope somebody else out there has the same kind of gift for now.

I agree, Jo Ann. I am also in therapy for depression/anxiety. I would recommend it highly to anyone who is caring for a loved one with AD.

The objective of the two-day G-Forum 2012 (8-9 November) is to encourage scientific discussion and the exchange of ideas among entrepreneurship scholars, entrepreneurs and policy makers. The conference program will be enriched by renowned keynote speakers.
The conference will have some "tracks" which will be held completely in English. Herewith, we want to offer an international forum and stimulate the collaboration between German speaking entrepreneurship scholars and their colleagues around the world. Next to the science track will be a practice track with a separate review process. The conference program again includes the research colloquium for doctoral candidates and the awarding of the Best Entrepreneurship Research Newcomer Award 2012 (Information on these program subjects can be found in the Call for Papers).
Venue is the University of Potsdam, August-Bebel-Strasse 89 (Potsdam-Babelsberg/Griebnitzsee), Building 6.

Leading issue and Topics
We ask for active participation in the conference through presentations. This years's conference will have a special focus on the conference theme "Creativity and Entrepreneurship".
The exchange between science and practice still offers room for improvement. Therefore, we are looking specifically for papers from both "worlds". You will find in the G-Forum program clearly visible workshop tracks that align with both more scientific as well as more practically relevant presentations. For this, two separate double-blind review processes will serve the different needs of theory and practice. We would like to explicitly encourage practitioners to invite their own abstracts!
The Practice Track of the 2012 meeting focuses on "Creativity". This includes but is not limited to questions of
- Design Thinking,
- Entrepreneurial Opportunity Recognition,
- Business model development,
- Creative Industries
The Scientific Track is aimed at the following thematic and interdisciplinary areas:
- Creativity and Entrepreneurship
- Creation Process
- Start-ups from science
- Family business and succession
- Sustainable- and Social Entrepreneurship
- Cultural Entrepreneurship
- Corporate Entrepreneurship –Establishment of entrepreneurship in large companies

- Development and growth
- Start-up financing
- Regional Entrepreneurship
- Entrepreneurship Education
- Start-up Coaching
