'Come and be who you are'
By Lynne Shallcross May 1, 2011
Michael Chaney knew from a very young age that he was gay, a fact that meant he also had years to process what it meant to be gay. "People who don't grow up that way didn't need to go through that process," says Chaney, who is president of the Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues in Counseling, a division of the American Counseling Association.
Chaney says heterosexual counselors who haven't walked the path of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) clients might not fully understand the significance of processing that experience. It's important to gain that understanding, Chaney says, not only because counselors have an ethical responsibility to learn about diverse cultures, but also because at some point in their careers, counselors will almost assuredly come across clients who identify as LGBT, and they need to be prepared to work with this population.
"One of the most important things counselors can do [to prepare] is engage in the process of self-reflection on their own sexual orientation and gender identity," says Chaney, an associate professor in the Department of Counseling at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich. "Until you understand your own sexual orientation and gender identity, there's no way a clinician will be able to understand and work with an LGBT client." He suggests that counselors think about what their sexuality means to them, how it influences their life and how it influences relationships with their clients.
"Part of the self-awareness is identifying one's heterosexual privileges [and] understanding how that might affect the therapeutic relationship with clients who are not heterosexual," Chaney says. One example is the privilege of marriage. For instance, a heterosexual counselor might display a photo of her husband in her office. "Something as small as that could influence the relationship, possibly making the client feel less than," Chaney says. "I am not suggesting that counselors remove photos of spouses. I am just using that as an example that counselors need to recognize the privileges they may bring into a counseling session — the right to marry being one privilege. Because many heterosexual counselors do not typically feel the experiences of living in a heterosexist society, it is often difficult for them to recognize their heterosexual privilege."
In addition to reflecting on their own experiences, Chaney says, "Counselors should put themselves into the LGBT communities and talk to LGBT folks to find out what their needs are, give LGBT people a voice and, after listening to the needs of these communities, advocate on their behalf."
It's also essential for counselors to understand that the LGBT community is diverse, Chaney says. "I think most people's perception is that we're one big homogenous group, but we're actually a very diverse group, and we have very diverse needs and unique values." The community does share a history based on oppression, however, which has led its members to develop a variety of coping skills. "It's important to know that as communities, we're a very resilient group of people," Chaney says. "From a counseling perspective, that's great information to have because we can use that resiliency in our counseling sessions."
The ALGBTIC website (algbtic.org) is a good resource for all counselors, Chaney says. It offers a set of competencies for working with LGB clients, another set of competencies for working with transgender individuals and a host of other helpful tools.
Although counselors have a personal responsibility to learn more about the LGBT community, Chaney says counseling programs also have a responsibility to teach their students in a broader way. The existing requirement of a multicultural course doesn't necessarily mean in-depth teaching on LGBT issues, he says. Depending on who is teaching the course, students might have a couple of class sessions focused on LGBT issues based on one chapter in a textbook, or LGBT issues might be infused throughout the course.
Chaney thinks training programs should provide more student exposure to LGBT communities, such as through internships in partnership with community organizations. He says research has shown that exposure makes the greatest difference in changing people's attitudes concerning the LGBT community.
In the past, Chaney says, homoprejudice tended to be open and blatant, meaning it wasn't uncommon for people to call LGBT individuals derogatory names to their faces. Today, the negativity is generally more covert, which Chaney contends can be even more damaging. It's challenging, he says, because LGBT individuals are left questioning the meaning and genuineness of certain conversations and interactions. Counselors can see these effects, he says, in depressed, anxious clients who might be lacking self-esteem or struggling with substance abuse, for example.
But Chaney returns to the resiliency that historically has been a part of this group. "Tap into our clients' strengths and the resilience of the community, and build up a client's coping skills to better handle those types of situations," he suggests.
Additional advice from Chaney: Don't pathologize the client, don't attempt to "cure" a client through reparative therapies, don't assume the sexual orientation or gender identity of a client and, above all else, use affirmative counseling techniques that offer clients a safe, positive place.
When Megan Mahon, an assistant professor of counseling at Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, gives presentations to her fellow counselors on improving their interactions with LGBT clients, her first piece of advice is to start at the door.
"From the minute they come in, let them know that they are accepted, that they are welcomed," says Mahon, a member of ACA. Drawing on three years of experience at the University of Toledo's counseling center, Mahon suggests that counselors display "Safe Zone" stickers and include reading material in the waiting area from LGBT groups in the community.
The intake paperwork is also crucial in making a first impression, Mahon says, so it should feature inclusive language. For instance, instead of making "single," "married" and "divorced" the only available options on paperwork, it could read "single," "married or significant other" and "divorced or relationship dissolved."
"It's simple things like that, but they can make a big difference when clients are coming in [and] they're scared and they're not sure how they'll be treated," Mahon says.
Once a client gets into session, counselors need to be keenly aware of the language they use during the diagnostic assessment and make every effort to minimize heterosexual bias. Addressing whether clients are in a sexual relationship and how they identify are important parts of the assessment that often get left out, Mahon says. She suggests that a thorough evaluation might include assessing for sources of support, spirituality, history of violence or abuse, level of internalized homophobia, sexual history, sexual orientation, intimate partners and high-risk behaviors for sexually transmitted disease and substance abuse.
"The reality is, many counselors are not asking some of these questions — to heterosexual or sexual- and gender-minority clients — because it makes them uncomfortable," Mahon says. "These are areas that you must be willing to explore if you are working with any population but especially with sexual- and gender-minority clients because they come to counseling with some unique experiences."
Asking clients how they self-identify is a good idea, Mahon says, because this allows counselors to learn and use the same language that clients use to describe themselves. "We are prone to want to fit people into a box or category that makes sense to us, and we have been socialized to see men and women as behaving, dressing, speaking, etc., in a certain way. Counselors working with sexual- or gender-minority clients must be prepared to challenge some of their own preconceived notions about sex, gender and relationships and understand the client from their unique perspective."
As is the case with many other clients, LGBT clients often come to session seeking help with relationship problems, whether family, social or personal, Mahon says. While working in the university counseling center, Mahon heard many stories about her LGBT clients coming out to their families and how their parents reacted by cutting off all communication, or how clients came out to a roommate only to have the roommate move out. "What a rejection," Mahon says. "To come out to someone you think is your friend. You're living in a small room with them and they [no longer] want to live with you or change in front of you. And then they say, 'I'm moving out or you're moving out.'"
LGBT clients might also present with occupational issues related to the risks of coming out at work. One of Mahon's friends, a lesbian with a partner, revealed that during a recent job interview, she was asked whether her husband would be moving with her. The woman struggled with whether to answer yes and risk being caught in a lie later or saying no and having to come out to the interviewer on the spot.
Spirituality is another area in which LGBT clients seek assistance, Mahon says, because although their spirituality might be a meaningful source of support for them, many of these clients have also experienced rejection from religious communities.
Mahon also suggests that counselors be knowledgeable about addictions as well as HIV/AIDS and not shy away from engaging in conversations about those topics with LGBT clients. Both affect the LGBT community, and it can be helpful for counselors to assess clients' risk factors and offer education, she says.
Mahon stresses the importance of counselors possessing a foundation in affirmative therapy to address the wide range of issues with which LGBT clients might present. Part of affirmative therapy is creating a welcoming physical environment in the counseling office, Mahon says, but beyond that, it also means avoiding harm to clients and focusing on offering unconditional positive regard.
With affirmative therapy serving as a base, Mahon says a host of other therapies can prove helpful in different instances with LGBT clients. In her work, she often integrates feminist, Gestalt and existential theories. Mahon likes the assertiveness component of the feminist perspective, as well as its demystification process, which encourages counselors to explain clearly to clients what they'll be doing and working through together, thus eliminating any elements of possible surprise.
Although existential theory can be applied to all clients, it works especially well with some LGBT clients because it addresses their existential crises and the elements that give their lives meaning, Mahon says. "For a lot of us," she adds, "getting married and having children is what gives life meaning." Oftentimes, those options aren't available to LGBT clients.
Mahon leans toward Gestalt techniques because LGBT clients can come to counseling feeling "split," meaning they know who they are but have been told their whole lives that their identity and lifestyle is wrong. Helping them learn to accept themselves and feel whole again is important, she says, and Gestalt techniques can effectively address such issues.
Many counseling interventions are applicable to LGBT clients, Mahon says, even if counselors sometimes need to reconceptualize the approaches. She has requested that LGBT clients make genograms as homework so she can see all of their family members presented and then inquire what the relationship is like with each person. Mahon believes that Vivienne Cass' identity model is also worth reviewing with LGBT clients. As homework, Mahon will sometimes ask clients to journal or make a collage about where they are in the identity model, where they want to be and how counseling can help.
Reflecting on her time in the campus counseling center, Mahon adds that group work can often be helpful. "Group counseling for LGBT students in a university setting is important because it not only provides a place for support and community, but it also gives clients a safe space for self-exploration. Developmentally, building a support network and self-exploration are things that most college students are working through. For LGBT students, this may be more of a challenge depending on the community they live in."
Mahon suggests that counselors working with or planning to work with LGBT clients review a sexual orientation counselor competency scale. "An important part of the education and training considerations is how knowledgeable and how comfortable you are working with this population," she says. Among her other recommendations: Visit the ALGBTIC website for resources, take advantage of professional development opportunities at conferences and workshops, keep up with research and journal articles, and get supervision from someone with experience. "Even if you're no longer required to be under supervision," she says, "it's important to seek supervision when you're working with a new group of people in general, not just LGBT clients."
Ask Erin Binkley why her work as a heterosexual ally to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQQ) community is so important, and she'll share how it became crystallized for her one morning. A sexual minority high school student in a nearby community had died recently by suicide. Binkley describes the fallout from the event as "terrible," adding that the reaction from parts of the community toward the student's family was less than supportive. During her visit to a local dog park one morning, she started talking with a friend of the family.
"She came to the park terribly distraught," remembers Binkley, an assistant professor of counseling at Oakland University and a member of ACA. "She looked at me with pleading eyes and said, 'Where was the school counselor in this?'" In response, Binkley could only offer that, yes, in a perfect world, the school counselor would have been there to intervene. The encounter struck Binkley so deeply that it propelled her to do more than stand on the sidelines.
"I think back to that woman looking at me and the expression on her face when she asked, 'Where was the counselor?' and me, as a counselor, not having an answer for her," Binkley says. "That was when I realized I wanted to be more involved in advocacy for this group."
Binkley, who has been at Oakland since August, decided to join the LGBTQQ community as a heterosexual ally, an important role she says the community needs more people to fill. Binkley admits that when she first arrived on campus, she assumed being accepting of all races, genders and cultures was synonymous with being an ally to those groups. "What I started realizing was that being an ally means more than being supportive," she says. "I had thought that if I wasn't part of the problem, I was part of the solution. But being part of the solution means taking an active role in finding solutions. Not being against a certain group doesn't necessarily mean I am for a certain group."
As part of her commitment to getting more involved, Binkley is participating in a sexual orientation and gender identity initiative being implemented by Oakland's School of Education and Human Services. "The idea behind it is to open the conversation about how we can be a more open and affirming community to people of all different sexual orientations and gender identities," she says. As part of the initiative, lecturers are being invited to campus to speak on the topic. That exhibits greater acceptance to the entire campus, Binkley says, while also offering examples the LGBTQQ community can identify with and relate to. Moving forward, she says, the intent is to plan more events that inspire open discussions about LGBTQQ topics.
Binkley acknowledges that in the past, she thought LGBTQQ members had their own groups and that those groups held the responsibility of advocating for them. But the LGBTQQ cause can use help from the outside, she says, adding that she has realized she might have unique advantages that can help. "In this society, being a heterosexual person, I have an acceptance from the general population that is easy to take for granted. Being straight is the norm, and people for the most part probably won't hate me for that. If a gay person goes out into society, that's something they may have to worry about on a daily basis. I can use that advantage to take a stand."
The LGBTQQ community has a variety of needs that heterosexual allies can help to meet, Binkley says. One of the most important is providing a "safe space" where LGBTQQ members can go to feel safe and accepted, she says. The need is present wherever counselors work, whether in agencies, schools, hospitals or elsewhere, she adds. Another substantial need is advocating for gay rights. "It's really important to advocate for LGBTQQ people having the same rights that I have as a straight person," Binkley says.
On the Oakland campus, students, faculty and staff can participate in a two-hour Students, Administrators and Faculty for Equality (SAFE) ally training to learn about accepting differences, how to talk to someone in need of help and other topics. Individuals who complete the training are given a rainbow triangle and their names are put on a list that is accessible through the university's website. If LGBTQQ students need help, they can look on the list and might find that a fellow student down the hall or one of their professors is an ally to whom they can talk.
The ways in which counselors can serve as heterosexual allies to the LGBTQQ community might look different for each individual person and situation, Binkley says. But as general advice, she suggests that counselors join ALGBTIC as ally members. Next, she advises that counselors find out about the different types of LGBTQQ community support programs available in their localities and get involved. If there is a lack of community support, counselors can investigate what the needs are and get a support effort started, she says. Counselors on university campuses can take part in an ally training. And for school counselors, Binkley suggests considering the possibility of starting a group, perhaps for LGBTQQ teens or the parents of teens who identify as LGBTQQ.
For Binkley, becoming a heterosexual ally has meant taking part in and even initiating conversations about LGBTQQ issues with coworkers, identifying the needs in the community and seeking out other allies. Even when concrete answers aren't available, Binkley says just getting involved in the conversation is a form of advocacy.
Counselors can let clients know they're a heterosexual ally by something as simple as including sexual orientation and gender identity issues in a scope of practice or mission statement, Binkley says, while school counselors might include the topic in a brochure of services that they offer. "Tell your clients this is not something [you're] afraid to talk about," she advises.
Being an ally to the LGBTQQ community is in alignment with the foundation of the counseling profession, Binkley says. "By the nature of what we do, we want to offer a space for all people to come and be who they are. Counseling treatment, no matter what venue it's in, rests on the assumption that people can come and talk openly and honestly about who they are and what's going on in their lives. This is just another way to say this is a safe place."
Beyond the open conversations and letting clients know they're safe to be themselves, Binkley believes the advocacy that goes along with being an ally is also a natural fit for the counseling profession. "I think that is the mission of a counselor — to help people find their voices and to be that voice when someone can't do it for themselves. We've advocated for groups that have been beaten down by society, and this is certainly one of those groups. I would hate to think that there's a teen or an adult out there hurting themselves and that I could have made a difference but didn't speak up."
Same-sex parents
If you think parenting can be hard, take a moment to consider the pressures thrust upon parents who are in the spotlight because of their minority status as LGBT individuals. Jason Patton, a core faculty member at Walden University, did just that in researching same-sex-oriented fathers for his dissertation.
After interviewing five couples who were full-time parents to biological or adopted children under the age of 18, Patton says he found each of the men and their stories to be unique. At the same time, he says, recurring themes of struggle and success emerged, as did abundant opportunities for counselors to help. He believes much of his research on same-sex-oriented fathers can apply to other LGBT parents as well.
The first bit of advice Patton shares based upon his research is for counselors to leave their expectations at the door and to avoid anticipating that all same-sex parents will be alike. "I think it is easy for counselors to assume that once they have worked with one same-sex family, they know all there is to know about what might present itself in future counseling relationships," says Patton, a member of ACA and ALGBTIC. "To me, this is dangerous territory."
Counselors' presumptions could prevent them from exploring clients' true experiences and inhibit them from forging a true connection with clients, Patton says. "If I am only connecting with who I believed you to be, I may never be able to get past this and come to understand you to be who you are."
Patton also says counselors should never assume a level of dysfunction in the family. "It's not always that there's an issue within their family," he explains. "They might be coping with the stress of the environment and people not being ready to accept them."
Patton recalls a couple who resorted to avoiding restaurants in one part of town because they sensed an increased level of scrutiny from members of the community. The family, composed of an African American father, a Mexican American father and their children of other ethnicities, became the focus of comments and stares when they went out to eat, and the parents explained to Patton that it was just too much for them to handle. "It's easy to become overtaxed by always being aware," Patton says.
Counselors working with clients feeling the weight of scrutiny can help them identify when they're becoming overwhelmed and how it affects their life. Then, Patton says, counselors should support ways for clients to recharge and take care of themselves.
In doing his research, Patton discovered what he thinks is an important paradox. Despite almost all of the men saying they had anticipated marginalization but hadn't noticed it much, in the next breath, Patton says, they would share experiences of overt discrimination or isolation.
"It would be easy for a counselor to say, 'Oh, wait, you're wrong. You said you don't experience this, but I'm hearing you say you do,'" Patton says. But he doesn't believe that's the correct course of action. Instead, he suggests, counselors need to realize the paradox might be a self-protective mechanism. "To immediately lambaste this without fully thinking through the potential functionality of it could cause potential harm," he says. "I think it's OK to say, 'I'm hearing a couple of different things. I just want to go there with you.' Adopt a stance of curiosity instead of authority. Don't take the expert role."
The transition period that occurs when same-sex parents are waiting to adopt a child can be especially challenging. In his research, Patton found that working through the adoption system was incredibly stressful, particularly when the prospective parents anticipated being denied parenting rights because of their sexuality.
The time after the adoption goes through can also be challenging, in part because same-sex parents often lack role models to look to for guidance. One of Patton's interviewees said it felt as though he and his partner were writing the rules as they went along. "They had good models of what it was to be a good parent," Patton explains, "but they didn't have models for how to negotiate roles in same-sex couples." To help LGBT clients struggling with this transition, Patton says counselors should be well informed of resources within their local communities as well as books or movies that speak to the experience. Another important role for counselors is helping these clients feel understood and appreciated, he says.
Among the same-sex fathers he interviewed, Patton discovered another challenge that arose when they became parents — they often felt isolated from the greater LGBT community, effectively assuming minority status even within their own larger minority group. "When clients are cut off from their natural communities of resistance that have helped them to cope and manage negativity from society at large, they may feel demoralized and discouraged," he points out. To assist these clients, Patton says counselors should model supportive, responsive and optimistic connection. Encourage clients to connect with other same-sex parents; even in isolated communities, that can be possible through social networking opportunities. Another strategy he recommends is helping clients identify the social support systems that are currently working in their lives.
Above all else, Patton says the role of the counselor with same-sex parents is to be supportive and to cultivate resilience that will help them rebound when they experience marginalization. "Identify psychological, emotional, familial and various other resources that clients already have in place," he says. "These are, hopefully, things that have helped them succeed in the past despite any number of challenges. They are, after all, parents and lovers, so they have been doing something well. What has worked in the past, and what efforts are they currently making to persevere or excel? Ask how to best bolster these things. Validate and encourage, but also do not shy away from identifying those things that do not work or are counterproductive to the clients' efforts."
During his research, one of Patton's most memorable experiences came when a gay man he interviewed, once stoic and unsure of his ability to be vulnerable, described finding and embracing his softer side after becoming an adoptive father. "He felt transformed by the experience and said he became a better man for it," Patton says. "Too many same-sex couples might not think they're able to be parents. There is this whole world that could be open to them if counselors, institutions and families supported them."
A space for spirituality
Spirituality can be both an important and challenging topic when it comes to LGBT clients, says Robert Dobmeier, an assistant professor and coordinator of the mental health program in the Department of Counselor Education at the College at Brockport, a campus of the State University of New York. Dobmeier notes that he has engaged in many conversations on the topic with Brockport colleagues Summer Reiner, Kathleen Fallon and Elaine Casquarelli, and he offered to share some collective thoughts that have emerged from their discussions.
Dobmeier, an ACA member, points to a white paper on spirituality from the Association for Spiritual, Ethical and Religious Values in Counseling, a division of ACA, that states spirituality is "innate and unique to all persons." Although religion is the institutional organization of common beliefs, spirituality can encompass personal aspects, including the search for love, meaning and hope. Religion is a major form of spiritual expression, he says, but the teachings of some religions have amounted to LGBT individuals being rejected by various religious communities.
"The individual is often forced to make a choice between practicing their sexuality and practicing their religion," Dobmeier says. "This can cause distress in the individual, as well as self-doubt, resentment and anger. In reflecting on one's life, the individual may feel positively about his or her developmental process that has culminated in an identity as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. On the other hand, the individual recognizes messages and forces in the larger culture, and possibly from a religious community in which she or he has grown up, that deny the authenticity of one's developmental experience."
Likewise, LGBT communities can be a source of rejection for LGBT clients who wish to maintain their religious identity, Dobmeier points out. He explains that these clients might encounter antireligious sentiment within some LGBT communities because its members have been rejected by certain religious groups. This may leave the client feeling forced to choose between being accepted by an LGBT community that is hostile to religious involvement or remaining alienated as a member of the religious community, he says.
An additional source of stress can present itself if LGBT individuals fear retribution from God or have feelings of guilt due to religious messages that proclaim gay and lesbian sexual orientation as sinful, Dobmeier says. Tensions related to prioritizing one's sexual practice or religious practice can also play out in a relationship with a partner, leaving one partner feeling dissatisfied with the other.
At the same time, spirituality as a search for meaning, hope and forgiveness, as mentioned in the ASERVIC white paper, can serve as a source of strength and wisdom for LGBT individuals who frequently cope with antagonistic cultural values and responses, Dobmeier says. Although LGBT clients may seek counseling for a variety of issues, if a client wishes to address spirituality, Dobmeier says counselors should be open to the experience of the individual and respond in a way that is therapeutic for the client. The ACA Code of Ethics ASERVIC's Spiritual Competencies and other professional documents specify the need for counselors to be capable of responding to the client spiritually, Dobmeier says.
"In anticipation of this need, the counselor may want to reflect on where he or she is at spiritually," he says. "Specifically, how have the counselor's cultural and spiritual traditions of origin influenced how she or he might work with an LGBT client? Does the counselor's spiritual or religious life bring healing in the life of the counselor that can be used in counseling an LGBT client?"
Dobmeier points to narrative therapy as helpful in working with LGBT individuals who want to explore aspects of spirituality because the approach invites clients to tell their stories. When they share their stories of their search for self and sexual identity, the difficulty of coming out, conflicts with family and rejection by religious and other communities, he says clients can find support from the counselor and potentially gain perspective on where they have been and where they want to go. Getting in touch with feelings of hurt, rejection and anger can also allow healing to begin, he adds.
Working with LGBT clients whose experiences with religious or spiritual communities have been negative requires that counselors listen carefully to these individuals' stories, Dobmeier says. Counselors may find that clients are asking for assistance in deciding whether to change churches or religions or even exploring the possibility of ceasing religious practice altogether. Dobmeier suggests that counselors help these clients to recognize available options and provide support as they work through the decision.
Dobmeier's overriding advice to counselors working with LGBT clients on spiritual issues: Educate yourself and remain open-minded. "The counselor can prepare for spiritual work with LGBT clients by becoming aware of one's own spirituality, seeking knowledge about problems encountered by LGBT clients and being open to listening to the client's story so as to understand his or her hurts and needs. The counselor should support the client in his or her search for identity, not make assumptions about what is best for the client in terms of his or her identity and facilitate the client's making her or his own decision about sexual identity."

Tucked away in the state of Guanajuato is the cute town of San Miguel de Allende. My first trip to San Miguel was earlier this year and I instantly fell in love. My parents are two hours away so we went for a day trip while I was there in November. This city reminds me of Salvatierra, the city by my parents' home, but a little more colonial. It's definitely more modern and Americanized. That can be good or bad, but I'll let you make your own decision after you visit. Keep reading to learn more about this city.


A woman's right to make her own choices for herself is an ongoing concern, particularly in our current political climate. Choices about what she does with her body, what profession she pursues, and whether or not she takes her spouse's last name after marriage. And believe it or not, this last one is still a very sticky spot, as roughly 50 percent of Americans think that the law should require women to change their last names to those of their husbands after marrying. I really want to drive this point home, so I'm going to repeat it, this time in bold: Half of U.S. adults believe it should be required by law to take your husband's last name.
What's more, researcher Emily Shafer made even more startling discoveries than this during the course of her study. The most common reason participants gave for believing that a woman should change her last name is that she should prioritize her marriage and family ahead of herself. In particular, men with less education say this is a must and believe that a woman who does not take her husband's last name is not as committed to their marriage. These same men also said that the husband would be more justified in filing for divorce if the wife works too much, by the way.
Slap me with a brick. It'll hurt less.
Where do I even begin? How about the pungent stench of patriarchy still stubbornly lingering in the air? It's a name, for Pete's sake. Since when did a name determine a woman's commitment to her relationship? And how come it doesn't work the same for men? And how come men don't have to change their last names? And how come no one questions men's commitment to their marriage because they opted to keep their own last names?
AH! Right. The one in which a misogynist was elected POTUS, and now women are among one of the many groups of people at risk of further becoming second-class citizens. We've taken 10 steps back and are fighting for our bodies and our rights more than ever. People are trying to defund Planned Parenthood because "I don't want my tax dollars paying for your abortion! (Even though tax payer dollars actually don't pay for abortion by law.) ME SO ANGRY!"
Other person: "Beat someone up. You?"
You: "Didn't take my husband's last name."
Other person: "What kind of monster are you?"
Women already face backlash in the workplace for reasons that men don't: For asking for a raise, for taking extended maternity leave, for dressing in certain ways. Now, we're getting it at home — no, not because we sometimes choose to be stay-at-home moms, and some people don't like that (although we also get flack for choosing to go back to work after having kids, showing that we just can't win). The other reason.
No, not because we're often specifically relegated to stereotypical gender roles like cooking and cleaning and child-rearing, either. The other, other reason. Yes, the name thing. Now we're naughty wives if we keep the name we already had. Shame on us.
I'm noticing a pattern here — one where women are endlessly criticized for putting their own interests first. Interests, I might add, that have no bearing on anything or anyone else. Please tell me about the last time you looked at a crappy marriage and thought, "You know, I bet it's because she didn't take his last name." (Not that the inner workings of someone else's marriage is any of your business anyway.) Go on. I'll wait.
To be clear, this is not a "taking your husband's last name means you're agreeing to submission" conversation — because if you choose to take his name out of your own desire, that's just fine. Instead, this is a "your last name doesn't define you, and it's your choice what you're called" conversation. Similar to how your attire doesn't define you, or how many people you've slept with.
As an engaged woman myself, I throw around the idea of taking my fiance's last name, mainly because I think it's pretty. I also think about combining our two last names into some last name super-hybrid. (Megan Grantello? Megan Mogranto? Megan Monegrantello?) But it should be a given that any choice is valid, whether it involves changing your name or not. And it's a deeply personal choice — one that no one else should have any say over but you.
It's sad, disturbing, and downright scary that we living, breathing creatures are still so simple-minded as to believe that the law holds a spot in something so personal as what last name we take — and even scarier that this is happening within the context of our current political climate. It demonstrates just how much women's rights are at risk — and not just from the people in the highest positions of power in this country (although yes, that is in itself very, very troubling). It's a prevailing viewpoint, and the only way for anything — anything — to change is for a giant paradigm shift to make that viewpoint not the prevailing one.
So we fight. Here are some suggestions for how. And more here. Because the stakes are too high not to.

Ilana Solomon
Representative, Trade Program
Ilana joined the Sierra Club this past year as its trade representative after working to confront climate change as a policy analyst with ActionAid USA. She was even named one of "40 under 40 International Development Leaders" in that position! Since joining the Sierra Club, she has focused heavily on ensuring that the U.S. acts responsibly and considers the environment and workers' rights when joining and negotiating any proposed trade pact. One such pact, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has been in the works for a number of years, and Ilana has represented the Sierra Club at negotiating rounds throughout the year.
In 2013, Ilana will keep us updated on the progress of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and any other times when the environment and trade issues intersect via her Huffington Post column, on Sierra Club's Compass, and on Twitter.
Justin Guay
Representative, International Program
Didn't know that the Sierra Club had an international component? Coal pollution is not only a problem in the U.S., but also abroad in places like India and Turkey. Justin spent 2012 traveling to some of these countries and making sure communities around the world are standing up, fighting back, and stomping out coal-fired power plants. He also keeps an eye on solar and other clean energy projects that are popping up in places like Bangladesh.
Justin blogs bi-weekly on Sierra Club's Compass and Huffington Post. You can also follow Justin on Twitter.
Bilingual Media Specialist
In 2012, the Sierra Club and the National Council of La Raza led a nationwide survey of Latino voters and their environmental concerns and priorities. What we found out is that Latino support for environmental issues is stronger than ever. That's why Javier, who consults the Sierra Club on best approaches to reach the Latino community, has an important job in 2013. In 2012, he regularly represented the Sierra Club across all of Univision's affiliates, so be sure to tune in during 2013.
Javier's Spanish-language column for the Sierra Club is called Ecocentro, and it's cross-posted to Huffington Post. He tweets in both Spanish and English.

I thought it fit to conclude the series of most glamorous balls held in the last century with one which took place at Château de Ferrières, the Rothschild residence that hosted the first party of the cycle too, thus enforcing a certain impression of circularity much needed to complete the sense of times past.
Marisa Berenson, actress and model, depicts the fabulous evening so vividly I find it quite ineffectual to attempt a personal description of an event I was part of in my dreams solely, so I can merely inquire about how you regard this type of exquisite social gathering and otherwise live you to relish the accreditable recountals of a witness and participant.

Wagner's Misfortune: one hilarious anecdote
One could never guess what genuinely amusing event devoid of any anticipation turned Wagner's Tannhäuser première in a complete fiasco. It is the prerogative of the haughty19th century Parisian aristocracy to surprise both poor Richard, the contemporary and modern auditory with a reaction that changed the faith of an opera now considered one of Wagner's best.
Facts are comically of an elementary character.
On this very day, 13 March 1861, the Salle Le Peletier was meant to host the first representation of Tannhäuser in France after exhausting months spent with a consuming number of over 160 thorough rehearsals which Wagner never failed to attend given that he was exceedingly keen to impress the public. A public composed from such characters as Emperor Napoleon III and Pauline von Metternich one cannot simply afford to disappoint.
And with the dozens of preparations undertaken, it shouldn't have been the case . In fact, everything was arranged for Wagner to repute a success.
But what actually happened?
Here's the account almighty Wikipedia gives:
'Wagner had originally hoped the Parisian première would take place at the Théâtre Lyrique. However, the première was at the Paris Opéra, so the composer had to insert a ballet into the score, according to the traditions of the house. Wagner agreed to this condition since he believed that a success at the Opéra represented his most significant opportunity to re-establish himself following his exile from Germany. Yet rather than put the ballet in its usual place in Act II, he chose to place it in Act I, where it could at least make some dramatic sense by representing the sensual world of Venus's realm. '
This midget alteration of the custom gave way to a veritable disaster.
'There was a serious planned assault on the opera's reception by members of the wealthy and aristocratic Jockey Club. Their habit was to arrive at the Opéra only in time for the Act II ballet, after previously dining, and, as often as not, to leave when the ballet was over. They objected to the ballet coming in Act I, since this meant they would have to be present from the beginning of the opera. Furthermore, they disliked Princess von Metternich, who had arranged the performance, and her native country of Austria.' [any recall of the French revolution, anybody? any analogy to the way they treated Marie Antoinette? or perhaps your mind goes back to the Vienna Congress in 1815?]
'Club members led barracking from the audience with whistles and cat-calls. At the third performance on 24 March, this uproar caused several interruptions of up to fifteen minutes at a time. As a consequence, Wagner withdrew the opera after the third performance.This marked the end to Wagner's hopes of establishing himself in Paris, at that time the center of the operatic world.'
In a nutshell, this is the story of how a genius was ruined by frivolous manners.

Lunardi's flying Folly
Shallow as it may sound, the 'beauty comes first' criteria to which my visual senses respond made me stop at this man's intriguing story only after dropping an eye on his rather handsome portrait preceding it. One inexorably desires more information about charming characters; it tends to enhance their attractiveness and draw them to spheres of humanity easier to empathize with, still stressing the physical gorgeousness first to catch one's attention. But I'm missing the point (thing I'm terribly good at).
The lad depicted above, a very flamboyant Italian named Vincenzo Lunardi, makes this very October 225 years since he first flew over Edinburgh in a hydrogen-filled balloon, stunning the curious mob gathered on the grounds of George Heriot's School to watch the big event which The Scots Magazine later described with appreciatory words:
'The beauty and grandeur of the spectacle could only be exceeded by the cool, intrepid manner in which the adventurer conducted himself; and indeed he seemed infinitely more at ease than the greater part of his spectators.'
A day to remember, really.
But the charismatic Vincezo had orchestrated numerous such occasions to leave his contemporaries in utter awe long before that October 1785 and could, at the mere age of 26, boast with the several aeronautic adventures alongside the famous James Tytler, whom he had met around the 1780's during a diplomatic voyage. Because yes, the courageous Lunardi started up as a minor Neapolitan nobleman engaged in diplomatic missions to France and, elected Secretary to Prince Caramanico (a well respected Ambassador), to England. Let us not forget envoys in the Revolutionary epoch were people characterized by the most acute sense of action, having traveled enough to discover different habits and mentalities. Not to mention their varied education. In all sort of ways.
In London, Lunardi's appetite for fame and the dandy allure so appealing to the English public facilitated his ascension as a 'Daredevil Aeronaut', the first to successfully experience the perilous balloon flight after de Morel's failure in a time when the conquest of air was a hot topic. The novelty was there, waiting for a valiant one to affirm it, and the world stared impatiently. Easy times to become hero for audacious hearts.
So, eager to conquer a certain prestige, Vincenzo, native showman, immediately planned an ascension with a balloon designed by his partner, George Biggin, over the 200,000 heads of riveted Londoners among whom stood aristocratic figures such as the Prince of Wales. To make thing even more peculiar, Lunardi decided to give a cat, a dog and a pigeon the honor of traveling alongside himself, although with the cat's airsickness one could contest it was indeed a good idea.
Setting off from the Artillery Ground to a northerly direction towards Hertfordshire, without poor Biggin, he eventually put the balloon to rest in Standon Green End which, to this day, bears the name of 'Balloon Corner' to commemorate the historical event.
This first balloon flight in Great Britain turned Lunardi into the hero of the hour, his main desire, and brought him before the 'Mad King' George III.
"At his command, a monument was erected on the spot where Lunardi landed for the second time; its popular name is Long Mead, and it is still there. Lunardi went on to build larger and better balloons and ascended once more from Moorfields. On this occasion his balloon was decorated with a huge Union Jack, in which manner he 'wished to express his respects and devotion to everything which the word 'British' stands for'. His faithful friend Biggin and a Mrs Letitia Sage, an actress, were to have accompanied him on this trip, but once more the lifting capacity of the balloon was poor, so Lunardi started alone on 13 May 1785. Soon afterwards he had to come down again, near Tottenham Court Road, because the envelope turned out to be leaking. The well-tried patience of Biggin was finally rewarded later that year when, on 29 June, he was able to ascend himself, accompanied by Mrs Sage.'
"This trip lasted an hour and had the distinction of being the first time 'a British female air travelers' had gone aloft. This was the term by which Mrs Sage henceforth liked to be described. She was a beautiful lady, but from a ballooning point of view she unfortunately tipped the scales at 2001b. Lunardi made several more balloon ascents in Great Britain during 1785, but in August 1786 one of his young assistants lost his life in a tragic accident. During the preparations for an ascent at Newcastle upon Tyne, Ralph Heron was pulled aloft as one arm got entangled in the anchor rope when the balloon took off prematurely. The rope broke and the hapless youngster plunged to his death. Lunardi was not to blame, yet, after the incident, everywhere he went in Great Britain he was now persecuted as intensely as he had previously been acclaimed. He left the country for good, but continued his balloon ascents in Italy, Spain and Portugal. His health later failed, and he died in Portugal on 31 July 1806."
I think him quite a curious human specimen. And Sir Laurence Olivier thought him so too when playing Lunardi in the 1936 film 'Conquest of the Air'.
Any other opinions?

Cubierta de la interpretación
1. No se puede ver a cualquier ojo o un triángulo, etc., y decir que el tiempo es algunos illuminati o símbolo satánico, son símbolos humanos que pueden tener varios significados.

2. No hay una respuesta oficial de la banda explicar estos símbolos.

3. Si nos fijamos en los nombres de las canciones del álbum que tiene esta cobertura, los retratos, se ve que la mayoría de las canciones tienen nombres bíblicos de hombres.

"(Efesios 1: 18,19). Nosotros, los siervos de Dios, debemos tener nuestro corazón (nuestra mente), iluminados por Dios, tenemos que buscar a Dios, para ser utilizado por Él y que disfrute de su gloria y no ser engañados por nada ni por nadie!

Research Radio
Sensory Life of Caste in Indian Universities
The classroom can be a space for us to engage in deep learning, rigorous debate, collaboration and critical thinking. It's a space where our senses can be active and nourished. However, entry into the classroom has been historically limited to upper-caste cis men. What happens when these exclusions are challenged?
This is a bonus episode of Research Radio, where P Thirumal and Carmel Christy join us to discuss their EPW article on higher education in India and their scholarship on media studies. Dr P Thirumal teaches at the Department of Communication, University of Hyderabad. He teaches courses related to theory, history and media Science with reference to modernity and deep time. His scholarship has focused on the cultural histories of North East India including embodiment studies focussing on discriminatory practices of Dalit Bahujans in higher education institutions in India. Dr Carmel Christy K J is currently an International Fellow of the Urban Studies Foundation, Glasgow, which is affiliated to the International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden. She teaches journalism at Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi. Her research on the politics of gender, sexuality, caste, religion, media and urban space broadly focuses on spatial production of marginality and responses to it in India.
We will be discussing their co-authored piece "Why Indian Universities Are Places Where Savarnas Get Affection and Dalit-Bahujans Experience Distance." We will also discuss Christy's book "Sexuality and Public Space in India: Reading the Visible" and her article "Universities as Spaces of Disaffection" and Thirumal's recent article "Regurgitative Violence: The Sacred and the Profane in Higher Education Institutions in India" and "Dominant Bodies and Their Ethical Performances: Violence of Caste Embodiment in Higher Educational Institutions."

Debt and Service: The Logic of Caste
In this episode of Research Radio, we have Rajat Roy discussing his research on Dalit Political Subjectivity. In his papers titled "From Postcolonial Irony to Dalit Truth: A Perspective on Experience" and "Politics of Identity Contra Anti-caste Social Visions: The Matua Problem and Beyond," he highlights the uniqueness of Hindu life world and the social practices of castes. He argues that the postcolonial theory has not been sincere enough to look at caste and Brahmanical ideology critically as much as it has explored political questions like that of a Nation. Rajat Roy is an assistant professor of political science at Presidency University, Kolkata.

And just like that, there's a new DC superhero in town.
The Warner Bros panel at San Diego Comic-Con was the biggest of the entire weekend, and at the epicentre was its DC superhero roster, with the universe now being called Worlds Of DC.
For those in attendance, there was a first look at Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 1984, which was apparently an absolute blast, while both fans in Hall H and around the world have been able to feast their eyes on trailers for Aquaman and, more surprisingly, Shazam!
It's just not a surprise because it wasn't expected online, but because of how good (and different) it looks. The story of a teenage boy who is able to transform into a superhero when he says 'Shazam!', the movie stars both Asher Angel and Zachary Levi as the two sides of the character (who'll likely go by the name Shazam rather than the original Captain Marvel moniker, for obvious reasons), with Angel the teenage Billy Batson and Levi the fully grown hero.
The trailer promises a side to the DC universe we haven't seen on the big screen before, and it's a great look for it.

God Wants An Igbo Person To Be President of Nigeria in 2023 - Former president of Anambra state
The Former Governor of Anambra state (Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife) has made a revalation that its God's plan for an igbo man to become the resident of Nigeria in 2023.
Chukwuemeka Ezeife stated this when he spoke at the Prof Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka, Anambra State during a summit for the grand opening of the Global Movement for Igbo Presidency 2023 on Monday, October 5.
While commending the initiator of the Global Movement for Igbo Presidency, Kennedy Iyere, from Edo State, Ezeife said
According to him, He said;
"It appears God in heaven is saying it is time for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction. Other Nigerians seem to believe in Igbo president more than the Igbo people. Igbos are the development agents of Nigeria. We make Nigeria look more like a nation. We believe culturally in developing any part of the world we find ourselves in.
We deserve to be given a chance and I am glad that our people in diaspora and from other tribes unanimously agree that an Igbo president is what Nigeria needs to take the next strides towards development," he said.

Agencies continue to respond to winter weather
High winds caused damage to numerous trees and power lines in the Florence area, including this tree that fell on on a power line on Munsel Lake Road near the Siuslaw Rod & Gun Club. (Photo by Zac Burtt/Siuslaw News)
Jan. 8, 2022 — The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a flood watch on Thursday for all of the northern half of the Oregon Coast. The flood watch, which lasted until Friday afternoon, was issued as high water situations continue to impact roads and travelers not only along the Oregon Coast but into the Willamette Valley and the I- 5 corridor leading to Portland.
The issue for local drivers is no longer icy conditions, but rising waters which have continued to accumulate in lower elevations. Mapleton School District delayed school opening on Friday for two hours while the Siuslaw School District opened on time.
"Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks," the NWS said.
Central Lincoln Public Utility District has been working since the weekend storms to return service to their customers and released a statement sharing the state of repairs as of Friday.
"Thankfully, nature was kind last night, and the latest squall didn't cause a large number of new outages," CLPUD stated. "We'll be tackling the ones that did pop up today. That beautiful yet extremely rugged area near Cape Perpetua and south has three line crews and a tree crew toiling away there to end this very stubborn outage. Lines are down, and must be re-strung while standing on extraordinarily steep hillsides — and between canyons."
According to CLPUD, crews "still have a lot of work to restore power in this area."
Some customers have been without power for several days, since the weekend's winter windstorm led to downed trees and powerlines.
"We are reminded of the 'Snowzilla' freak snowstorm of March 2012, when this same area was without power for seven days," CLPUD said. "The damage included broken poles."
Work on Friday included work in both the Florence and Reedsport areas.
CLPUD also offered advice for people to be ready for future storms.
"We cannot emphasize the need to be prepared for additional outages enough. Please stock up on batteries for flashlights and radios, fill fuel tanks for generators, have water and non-perishable food on hand, extra blankets, hats, gloves, food for your pets and back-up for medical needs sooner rather than later," the PUD posted to its Facebook account. "Some customers have been out of power for four days and could possibly be out for five. Now that another high wind warning is in effect, this could happen all over again. Please take the time to prepare now."
The City of Florence has also continued storm cleanup throughout the week, as well as responding, along with local emergency response groups, to an accident on the Siuslaw River Bridge, which led to a bridge closure on Jan. 4.
People can learn about how to report storm related issues through the links provided at www.ci.florence.or.us/publicworks/report-storm-related-issues.

News Kieran Foran sells at Freshie
Kieran Foran sells at Freshie
Title Tattle
| Oct 26,2017
The star NRL Bulldogs recruit Kieran Foran has secured the pre-auction sale of his Freshwater house.
It was the home that Foran bought early last year - where his former partner Rebecca Pope and the couple's two children resided during his playing stint in New Zealand.
His Ray White agents secured $3.055 million, having had $2.8 million price guidance.
After the for sale sign board went up, an upset Pope told the local paper, The Manly Daily that she'd viewed it as her "forever"home.
"I wanted to stay here forever," she said.
"It was our dream home with a big block, ideal for our children and two dogs."
A legal battle over the proceeds has begun, with Pope's lawyers lodging a caveat on the home which is officially just in Foran's name.
The legal paperwork suggested she made "direct and indirect financial and non-financial contributions to the acquisition, conservation and maintenance of the lands."
Foran paid $2.51 million in early 2016.
By the time the home had settled and the family moved in, their relationship was over with their private life being aired in public.
Foran, who left the Warriors to return to Sydney because he wanted to be closer to his kids, has not commented on his plans after the auction.
His latest Instragram features his recent fishing success.
His prior Instagram posts revealed his new relationship with 48 year old former Central Coast hairdresser, fitness instructor Karina May, a mother of six.

Brad DeLong responds to my post. As illustrated below the jump, he engages in selective editing and continues to misrepresent the players in this saga. (He also omits links to most of those to whom he's responding.) Larry Ribstein also comments here.
I call this one for Verret 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.
Here are the relevant portions of the post again, with the relevant omissions (and links) restored.
Todd doesn't even argue based on this evidence that insider trading liability should be abolished. Rather, he says only that "the case for classic insider trading is made much weaker by this data." He also notes in the abstract that "there still may be good reasons to prohibit some individuals from trading on material, non-public information." One of these reasons might be DeLong's point that firms would be better off if insiders weren't paid with insider trading profits. Maybe that holds even if the insiders are willing to pay for the opportunity to trade. I don't necessarily subscribe to DeLong's arguments, but I'm not willing to call somebody "stupid" and unfit for teaching for making them. My only point here is that Todd doesn't discuss this issue at all.
Insider Trading and CEO Pay: This Paper presents evidence boards of directors "bargain" with executives about the profits they expect to make from trades in firm stock. The evidence suggests executives whose trading freedom is increased using Rule 10b5-1 trading plans experienced reductions in other forms of pay to offset the potential gains from trading. There are two benefits from trading—portfolio optimization and informed trading profits—and this Paper allows us to isolate them. The data show boards pay executives in a way that reflects the profits they are expected to earn from informed trades. The legal issues about paying using illegal profits are explored. As a matter of policy, the data seriously undercut criticisms of the laissez-faire view of insider trading. most closely associated with Henry Manne. At least with respect to classic insider trading (that is, a manager of a firm trading on the basis of information about the firm where she works), if boards are taking potential trading profits into consideration when setting pay, it is difficult to locate potential victims of this trading. Current shareholders should be happy with a deal that pays managers in part out of the hide of future shareholders, and the firm should internalize any costs arising from this payment scheme, since future shareholders should take this into account when deciding whether and what price to buy shares. While there still may be good reasons to prohibit some individuals from trading on material, non-public information, the case for classic insider trading is made much weaker by this data.
UPDATE: Final comments on this from Professor Bainbridge and J.W. Verret.

Name James Cade [1]
Born 14 Apr 1822 Sheffield, , Yorkshire, England [1, 2, 3]
James' granddaughter, Viratine Cade Weber, gave his birth date as 14 Apr 1822; however, the christening date does not agree. He died on 28 Oct 1904 in Colby, Clark and Marathon Co., WI.16 He was buried on 30 Oct 1904 in Colby, Clark and Marathon Co., WI.
Note from Marjorie Weber Moore, great grandaughter, note of February 12, 2011
James Cade(b. 1821/2) was probably not born in Maltby but in Sheffield.
His obituary says it was Sheffield, his christening was there and his family
lived there at the time.
From Marjorie Weber Moore, great granddaughter, note of June 11, 2011
He has conflicting birth information of 14 Apr 1821. This date is from the parish records and is probably right. The 1822 date was from family records.
Christened Sheffield Cathedral, Sheffield, England [1, 2]
Family records which indicate a baptismal date of 13 Apr 1821 are inconsistent with the records which show a birth date of April 14th, 1822

Emigration 1883 [7]
from England to USA
Son Henry James Cade returned to England and brought his father to Wisconsin. James spent a few months in Milwaukee with his brother William, then went on to Colby, Wisconsin, and lived the rest of his life with Henry James and family.
Died 28 Oct 1904 Colby, Clark Co., WI, USA [1, 7]
From Marjorie Weber Moore, correspondent, note of June 11, 2011
He has conflicting death information of 28 Oct 1903. This is the date from family records and is different from the death and burial record.
Buried 30 Oct 1904 Colby Memorial Cemetery, Colby, Clark Co., WI, USA [1]
The marriage records list James Cade, a farmer of Green Arbour, son of John, butcher of Sheffield and Mary.
In the 1841 Census of Laughton en le Morthen, James, 20, is listed as living at Green Harbour Farm with three uncles and his grandmother.
Mrs. Sheperd, whose family now owns Green Arbour farm, told us that Slade Hooten was a manor farm owned by Lord Scarborough. Green Arbour was a part of the Hatfield Estate, and the Cades were undoubtedly tenant farmers. The Hatfields lived at the Hall Farm where the Sheperds now live in the wing which was once the Servant's Hall and was built in 1633.
James second wife was an alcoholic and started James drinking and he lost most of the family property. Shortly before his marriage in 1884, Henry James Cade went back to England and brought his father James to Wisconsin where he lived with the young couple until his death. Henry James told his father that he was not to drink again and he did not. Also, when his first grandchild was born, he placed his pipe on the shelf and never smoked again.

Young patients with cerebral palsy may suffer from chronic severe pain, and may also be unable to verbalize their symptoms. According to new research, doctors and parents need to look out for signs of pain, because patients often begin to believe that the pain is normal.
In most cases, the pain is due to dystonia or a hip dislocation. Dystonia is a condition that is linked to excessive muscle tone. According to the research, 25% of young people who were diagnosed with cerebral palsy suffered from moderate to severe chronic pain. The pain was severe enough for it to restrict the person's activities.
The study, which was conducted by the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital in Toronto, was based on an analysis of more than 250 individuals who suffered from cerebral palsy. These patients were between the ages of three and 19. The research data were collected in the form of questionnaires, and also from physicians, caregivers and parents.
It is important for parents, caregivers and doctors to frequently ask patients with cerebral palsy about pain levels. This can be difficult because a cerebral palsy patient may struggle with communication, especially verbal communication. Additionally, diagnosing pain is likely to be difficult because there may be a number of different triggers that set off pain for different patients.
Persons who suffer from cerebral palsy may be eligible for disability benefits under the Social Security disability benefits program. In cases of severe cerebral palsy, if the person is no longer able to talk, walk on his own, or has vision difficulties, the person may be eligible for benefits.

EditGrid, one of Google's main rivals in the online spreadsheet department, is now available to users of hosted versions of the Confluence enterprise wiki from Atlassian. Confluence customers can now collaborate on spreadsheets in real time using EditGrid's technology and create or insert spreadsheets into Confluence pages. The result is a spreadsheet saved as an attachment in Excel format and a revision history that can be managed via Confluence. The Editgrid plugin for Confluence offers more than 500 features, "the greatest of any online spreadsheet" including: * Multiple Users: Enables multiple users to see dynamic changes to a spreadsheet * Remote data update: Retrieves live financial data on the Web and brings it to the spreadsheet * Import/Export: Enables importing/exporting to and from Excel, CSV, HTML, Gnumeric, Lotus OpenOffice... * Chat: Offers built in Chat function We took a guided tour of Editgrid's Excel Plus plugin a couple of months ago with CEO David Lee, and were extremely impressed, particularly with the live linking capabilities to web-based financial data. For the Excel plug in, the synchronization tool EditGrid Sync. is employed to automatically back up data from offline to online sources daily. There is also a range of other features on board which most likely caused some teeth-grinding down at Google Labs. The battle for the SaaS office applications high ground is just getting started. While Google looks down from its lofty perch, it's highly questionable whether its online apps have the ability to beat the likes of Zoho and EditGrid. Then there's ThinkFree, which has been quiet lately, but you just know they're planning something. In addition, there are all kinds of interesting products clinking around in SourceForge, just waiting to burst out and amaze us all. Meanwhile, if you're interested in an enterprise wiki, Atlassian Confluence might be just what you need. After that, head on over to EditGrid to find out more about their products.
