Catherine Matheson [*] NAVAJO FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES In the United States, many have come to believe that families and family involvement are the most important factors in supporting children with disabilities. Families exist within an ecocultural environment that is complex and powerful, and it is within the family context that development in all its forms begins and is nurtured. We cannot understand what family involvement means without understanding the culture of families and the informal systems that families use to adapt and operate. In this chapter, the example of Navajo families with children with disabilities underscores and shows in high relief the heavy reliance on cultural support for families that is part of any family system. As early-intervention and family support programs continue to grow in the United States, we need to understand and sustain those benefits of indigenous systems that provide support and relief to families even as we seek to engage families in the use of supports that may be offered by private and public agencies. Two complementary systems operate to fulfill the needs of Navajo and other American families who have children with disabilities: one is the indigenous adaptive system and the other is the public health system that has been established nationally in the United States with local options. One example is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 1997), parts B and C, providing early intervention, preschool, and school-age services. The indigenous system was in existence long before the IDEA, but has not been recognized as such. Both systems attempt to increase the well-being of families, but because all adaptive systems have a cost, neither system is totally benign. Each system extracts some payment for the benefits it provides. When discussing costs, our intent is not so much to point out financial costs, which are often involved, but to show that costs to families can be more subtle, such as the erosion of family responsibility and satisfaction with the efforts the family makes on behalf of the child with a disability. Thus, in the Navajo sample, families identified medical disabilities and sought help for medical problems from professionals but were sometimes unable to resolve their anxiety until they involved spiritual services or indigenous healing practices. Conversely, Navajo families did not identify learning disorders in the preschool age group that we interviewed. Learning and language disabilities were primarily identified by professionals and schools, who in turn sometimes found families apprehensive and reluctant to adopt an active role in early-intervention efforts that they had not sought themselves.

Keywords: medical education, training of service providers, sexual and reproductive health curriculum MEDICAL educators have a responsibility to train physicians and other health professionals in the core competencies needed to improve the sexual and reproductive health of their communities. One of the distinguishing features of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in 1994, (1) and its five-year follow-up by a special session of the UN General Assembly in 1999 (ICPD + 5) (2) is that they moved beyond rhetoric to define reproductive health, including sexual health, in the context of primary health care and to provide countries with specific goals, objectives, and targets, in order to provide quality sexual and reproductive health information and services. These reflect an international consensus on what needs to be achieved, requiring a combination of programme initiatives, public health policies, legislation, educational capacity building and community-wide efforts. Until recently, little interest has been expressed by medical educators in integrating sexual and reproductive health in the medical curriculum. Significantly, no international group that is representative of medical educators or the medical profession attended either ICPD in 1994 or the 1999 Special Session of the UN General Assembly, with the exception of the Commonwealth Medical Association.

GCHS Advisor Barbara Merrick said, “The Finance Banking students have to be very responsible and trustworthy. Operation of the bank includes overseeing large sums of money that places them into real world situations every day. It is a very hands on classroom. Students rotate their banking responsibilities every two weeks by teaching money management skills to local elementary age students throughout the county.” In addition, students manage revenue generated from Graves County High School and Graves County Middle School yearbook sales. Merrick said, “Not only do they work in the day-to-day operation of the bank to process savings deposit/withdrawal transactions, they also receive/process loan requests and conduct weekly board meetings. Our greatest accomplishment this year is the complete automation of all accounting functions within the bank. The task was led by current GC Trust President Chris Sanders.” Sanders, a 2004 graduate, is no ordinary student bank president. At 17, hes a self-taught computer whiz who knows software and hardware alike. Previously, all accounting functions of the hank were done manually. We began the school year with automation as our goal, but with Chris expertise, our results far exceeded my expectations. I had two short meetings in which I asked him if he could devise a way to automate the transactions and create the ability to pull up customer information. About 4-6 months later, Chris brought a formal, very businesslike proposal, complete with logo and Users Guide, outlining his plans to use The GC Trust Account Management Software program. GC Trust Account Manager is a powerful solution to account management needs. It is a Microsoft Windows-based software program that allows data entry of all types and stores it safely in the computer. The final product allows students to do inquiries on customer accounts for balances, transactions, etc., and even print account statements. Sanders summarized his program by stating, “The system will provide for data retrieval and data storage of new and existing data consisting of accounts, transactions, and loans. The software is expandable and customizable to meet future needs as well.” Chris Sanders got his first computer when he was ten years old, and since then has taken basic classes offered at school; however, the majority of his knowledge has been self-taught. The GC Trust Account Management Software is not Sanders first attempt at writing computer programs. He wrote his first computer program in 2002 for a University of Kentucky Challenge contest and placed first in the state. Employees of First Kentucky Bank proudly sponsor GC Trust, and appreciate the opportunity to work with each of the students that make up the 24-member class comprised of 15 seniors, eight juniors and one sophomore. Classes are split between two groups as the schools curriculum operates on a block schedule. Officers from each block are chosen at the beginning of the school year and serve in that capacity for a semester. The class also helps to prepare students for life after high school. Matt Ballard, a 2004 senior class member stated, “Working at GC Trust has taught me many different money management skills such as balancing a checkbook, figuring interest on accounts, and managing the money in the bank itself. I am planning on pursuing a career as a doctor, so probably the most important skills I have gained are dealing with savings accounts, and managing personal finances. I will have many expenses to deal with and learning to manage my personal finances and keeping them organized will be an important factor in every day life. I also plan to set aside part of my salary for savings. Participating in GC Trust has helped me to learn the difference between simple and compound interest, which will prove to be a key ingredient in helping me to maximize my saving efficiency.”

(This article originally ran in The Daily Record, Rochester, NY, another Dolan Media publication). A proposal now being considered by the U.S. Senate would impose new liability standards and regulations on debtors attorneys in bankruptcy cases. If these standards become law, they could impact many debtors bankruptcy attorneys, along with attorneys who work for programs funded by Legal Services Corp. or other legal aid programs, and attorneys who provide pro bono bankruptcy representation. On Feb. 1, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced bankruptcy reform legislation, S. 256, that would increase the liability and administrative burdens of bankruptcy attorneys under the Bankruptcy Code. The new measure, which is similar to legislation that was approved by the House of Representatives last year, H.R. 975/S. 1920, would require debtors attorneys to: (1) certify the accuracy of the debtors bankruptcy schedules, under penalty of court sanctions;

Q Is it easier for a man to get six-pack abs than for a woman to? A Yes, says Glenn Gaesser, Ph.D., an exercise physiology professor at the University of Virginia. The appearance of defined, rock-hard ab muscles is possible only if the abs are highly trained and there is very little fat on top of them. “On average, women have more total body fat than men, and proportionally tney nave more subcutaneous fat in their bellies, Gaesser says. Whats more, its easier for men to lose body fat than it is for women, partly due to hormonal differences. “If you put men and women on the same exercise and diet program, men will lose more weight on average,” Gaesser says. Of course, not every man will lose more fat than every woman will. There are exceptions: Some women can achieve a six-pack without tremendous work, and some men have no chance of ever having sleek abs. The bottom line, Gaesser says: Dont get frustrated if you cant achieve that six-pack. It may not be a matter of lacking willpower. It could be just a matter of genetic and gender destiny. Q I have very big calves and cant get them any smaller no matter what I do. Im not even sure if theyre mostly fat or muscle. What exercises should I do to make my calves smaller? A There arent any exercises you can do to shrink the size of your calves (or any other specific area of your body). If you are overweight, you can lose overall body fat by combining cardiovascular exercise and strength training with a sensible nutrition plan. Some of the fat should come off your calves. However, if youre already lean, chances are you simply have muscular calves. “Theres just no way around that,” says Los Angeles trainer Ken Alan, a spokesman for the American Council on Exercise. You may be able to make your legs appear more proportional by building up your guadriceps, hamstrings and gluteals in the weight room. But rather than dislike your large calves, Alan says, “try to think of them as a positive. You have a great genetic advantage for certain athletic activities. Be a sprinter or a volleyball player.”

Rather than eyelid surgery, where fat is manually removed, one study investigated whether mesotherapy could be used beyond fat reduction in the legs and abdomen to alleviate the puffiness and bulging associated with lower eyelid fat. Mesotherapy involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceuticals, and vitamins into the skin. Results showed that appropriately selected patients benefit from the procedure, with 90% reporting improvement in their lower eyelids. However, only 62% of physicians noted a difference. Because the procedure only removes fat, plastic surgeons determined patients with extra skin in the eyelid or wrinkles in the skin were not appropriate candidates for mesotherapy. Currently, eyelid surgery is the only treatment with consistent proven results, and according to an ASPS Device Technique Assessment Committee report, patients should be wary of mesotherapy until its safety and effectiveness are confirmed through additional scientific studies. Focused ultrasound may be the hot new “walk-in walk-out” noninvasive procedure for sculpting the body. In three separate studies, the procedure significantly reduced the circumference of the targeted area, including leg and abdominal regions, with just one treatment. Using ultrasound, plastic surgeons disrupt, destroy, and disperse targeted fat cells, giving patients the benefits of liposuction without the pain and recovery time. Suture suspension techniques, using barbed or trumpet sutures, are also breaking ground by offering noticeable results for facial rejuvenation without invasive surgery. Barbed sutures, which have been on the rise since 2004, could be an alternative to a facelift. Resembling barbed wire, the suture contains little cuts, allowing the barb to catch when it is passed through tissue. The catch allows the plastic surgeon to pull on the suture once it is in place and tighten the tissue. Trumpet sutures, a hybrid of the barbed suture, are currently being tested and starting to make a mark in the industry. Resembling a Hawaiian flower, the trumpet suture, once passed through the tissue, is tugged on by the plastic surgeon. The cavity of the suture fills with the overlying tissue, creating an even stronger anchor for the stitch.

With an enthusiasm that is contagious, Cole Davis has kept Keystone RV Company on the fast track. In business for three years, sales have grown from $12 million in 1996 to $71 million in 1998. Through April 1999, the company continues to grow, projecting more than $140 million in sales for the year. Following military service and management positions with Coachman and Dutchman RV corporations, Davis used the skills he had honed and the experience he had gained to open Keystone RV. Davis says he took the important and different lessons he learned from both companies and combined it with his own personal philosophy to create the successful environment of Keystone RV. When asked the reasons for the business skyrocketing success, Davis says “people, people, people.” He says he works to assemble the best people and put them in an environment where they can control their own destiny and success. His management team is built on the philosophy of people wanting and needing to be part of the process. Weekly meetings, flexile working arrangements, quick actions and a “can do” attitude are part of the corporate culture. To remain flexible and responsive to new products while also remaining efficient, the seven products of Keystone RV are each produced in a separate facility Yet, each production facility is located within a few miles of the corporate office, enabling responsive changes and adaptations without affecting workflow or other product manufacturing. As the company grows, Davis and his team have created a new quality control process that has improved products, efficiency and processes. The improvements have also increased customer satisfaction and employee productivity.
NEW YORK — The March issue of Incisive
Media’s The
American Lawyer offers the most penetrating analysis to date of
lawyer Marc
Dreier’s $400 million fraud, the most brazen and spectacular
deception in law firm history. While Dreier has pled not guilty to
prosecution charges, the cover story reveals that for at least the last
four years, his professional life has been a sham, aimed at deceiving
virtually everyone he came in contact with.
“The
Crack-up” by Alison Frankel details Dreier’s spiral towards
self-destruction, as it became progressively clearer that he was not the
high-flying litigator or convention-busting law firm innovator he so
badly wanted to be. In retrospect, what proved remarkable is that he
fooled so many people for such a long time. At the end, when his client
had found out about the phony promissory notes and the auditors lawyer
was threatening to turn him in, when the client escrow accounts had been
plundered and the hedge funds had figured out the scam, and when the
Hampton houses and the yacht and the cars and the art collection were
about to be exposed as mere props, Marc Dreier was finally ready to give
up.
In “A

had collapsed.

WHY NAME CHANGE UPSET CHIROPRACTORS The Florida legislature voted to change the name of chiropractic to “chiropractic medicine” in the closing hours of its legislative session (SB2128). The initiative for the change was fostered by the Florida Chiropractic Association to standardize the term “chiropractic physician” in every Florida statute, and to change the name of the licensing agency from the Board of Chiropractic to the Board of Chiropractic Medicine. All of this was done without an advance notice, a public hearing, or a debate. The International Chiropractors Association is extremely upset with this turn of events. The debate that is sure to ensue resurrects the issues that have divided chiropractic for nearly a century. As strange as it may seem, those who object to chiropractors being labeled “physicians,” and their expansion into medical practice, often find allies among the Straights. To understand the reason why, one must be familiar with the basis for the long-standing rift between “straight” and “mixer” chiropractors. In 1895 Iowa magnetic healer Daniel Palmer proclaimed that he had discovered the single cause for all disease. This was alleged to be partially displaced vertebrae (ie, “subluxations”) that impinged upon the free flow of the metaphysical life force he dubbed the “Innate Intelligence.” In the textbook, The Neurodynamics of the Vertebral Subluxation (Chiropractic Publishers, 1973), Homewood describes Palmers biotheology: The founder of.chiropractic appreciated the working of Universal Intelligence (God); the function of Innate Intelligence (Soul, Spirit or Spark of Life) within each, which he recognized as a minute segment of Universal; and the fundamental causes of interference to the planned expression of that Innate Intelligence in the form of mental, chemical and/or mechanical stresses, which create the structural distortions that interfere with nerve supply. Palmer asserted that subluxations could be detected and corrected by hand. The name “chiropractic” literally means “done by hand” (chiros=hand+practos=practice). Thus, the essence of chiropractic is that it is a drugless, non-surgical practice.
Pro-golfer Padraig Harrington lauds chiropractic care
Household names including Tiger Woods, David Duval, and
Padraig Harrington are just a few of the professional golfers who rely
upon chiropractors.
“One thing I know through experience is that I need to keep seeing my
chiropractor, even when I have a few weeks off from golf,” says Padraig
Harrington, whose major championships include two British Opens and the
PGA Championship. “Getting ongoing chiropractic care helps me to stay
injury-free. It also helps me to deal with symptoms when they begin, so
that they don’t turn into bigger injuries down the road.”
The ACA conducted a veterinary chiropractic survey toward the end of 2000 to estimate the professions interest in veterinary chiropractic, gather information on available chiropractic veterinary education, and get a sense of related state legislation and statutes. Surveys were sent to 183 ACA delegates, alternate delegates, state associations, and chiropractic colleges. The overall response rate was 40.98 percent. Sixty-five percent of respondents said interest has grown over the past two to three years, based on an increase in the number of veterinary chiropractic programs advertised, and because several doctors were asked to adjust patients animals. Twenty-five percent of respondents, however, said interest was flat.

Unlike the quiet street below, the sky over 10th Street is full of traffic. Not airplane traffic, more like cabinet traffic. It is there that finished cabinet after finished cabinet makes the short journey from an assembly and finishing facility to the warehouse where they will wait in a queue of 100,000 cabinets-in-inventory for orders that come in from wholesale distributors around the country.These “floating” cabinets are produced by the cabinet manufacturer Kitchen Kompact. The company is a stock producer of cabinets - lots and lots of cabinets.Located across the Ohio River from Louisville, Ky., in 600,000 square feet of converted government buildings, Jeffersonville, Ind.-based Kitchen Kompact, known as KK, is an anomaly in the cabinet industry, and a very successful anomaly, at that.There are a number of things that set the family-run cabinet company apart from its competition - from its business philosophy to the familys ownership of a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course which will host a PGA championship in 1996. But the biggest distinction between KK and its competitors is that it concentrates its time on assembly and finishing and supplying the biggest segment of consumer demand, while leaving other manufacturers to pick up the rest of the cabinet market. On top of that the company keeps a huge inventory so it can deliver its products quickly.Company President Dwight Gahm purchased Kitchen Kompact in 1955. At the time, KK was a small custom cabinet shop in Louisville, Ky., that had been in business since 1937. Gahm had no experience in the cabinet industry, having previously co-owned a diaper service. But he did bring ideas to the cabinet industry that he developed during his diaper business day. Ideas such as efficiency of production, getting employees involved and motivated, keeping debt to a minimum, and selling the product at a fair price.

Garbage TruckYou can call it garbage, trash, refuse, or solid waste. Its all the same thing, and getting rid of it has been a problem since the beginning of civilization. The earliest method of getting rid of garbage consisted of simply throwing it in a pile. As the population of an area grew, so did the need to move the garbage pile further and further away. In 500 B.C. , the Greek city of Athens established the first municipal dump in the Western world when it required that garbage be disposed of at least one mile (1.6 km) from the city walls. Other cities were not so advanced. For example, in 1400, garbage had piled up so high outside the gates of Paris, France, that it interfered with the citys defenses.The first vehicles for hauling garbage were probably two-wheeled carts drawn by animals or slaves. In the 1800s horse-drawn, four-wheeled wagons moved slowly down alleyways as garbagemen hoisted reeking barrels filled with wet garbage and dumped them into the open wagon bed. By the 1920s, motor power had replaced horse power, but little else had changed. The cry of Here comes the garbage truck was still the signal to go inside and close your windows.The postwar consumer boom of the 1950s in the United States led to a significant increase in trash. After years of restrictions and shortages during World War II, people eagerly replaced old products with new ones. Many of the new products were meant to be used once and thrown away. Paper plates, plastic cups, paper towels and napkins, disposable diapers, and brown paper lunch bags all clogged the trash cans. The refuse vehicle industry responded in the late 1950s with the development of the first enclosed refuse trucks, utilizing hydraulic rams to compress the trash as it was collected. This allowed each truck to carry more trash per load.

Coubertins lexicon is littered with the term, or derivatives of the term, beauty. He talks of the “radiant beauty” of the Empress Eudoxia, (1) the “beauty” of gymnastics, (2) the “beauty” of a Worlds Fair, (3) and of course, the “beauty” of sport itself. (4) Places are similarly described–the “majestic beauty of the Parthenon,” (5) the “beauty” of Antwerp, (6) and the “beauty of a facility:” (7) he even talks of the “beauty of great spaces.” (8) The idea of beauty is also linked with other concepts in provocative and instructive ways: he talks of “beauty and moral strength,” (9) “physical beauty and health,” (10) “moral beauty,” (11) “beauty and perfection,” (12) describing the Olympics as “festivals of youth, beauty, and strength.” (13) So widespread is Coubertins application of the word beauty that it is applied equally to the descriptive and evocative–to the purely adjectival–as it is to the metaphysical and ontological. Ultimately, Coubertins multifarious conceptualization of beauty serves as the cornerstone of a cultural aesthetic of sport grounded in the Enlightenment promise of rational social progress and the imagined perfectibility of the individual and of society. The purpose of this paper is both to interrogate Coubertins concept of beauty as well as to identify and elucidate some of the philosophical ideas that served as historical precedents to this highly idiosyncratic formulation. In so doing, we hope to further analyze and dissect Coubertins particular aesthetic Olympic imperative, an axiology well understood to have stemmed from Coubertins reverence for the aesthetic vision of ancient Hellenism, but one that also ran through the idealist thinking of a wide variety of philosophers ranging from Shaftsbury to Goethe, from Leibniz to Humboldt, and from Weiland to Schiller. Of particular significance were the ideas of British theoretician of aesthetics John Ruskin, whose ideology inspired Coubertin to seek to beautify the entire Olympic edifice, to accomplish what Kruger calls “a noble Gesamtkunstwerk.” (14) Grounded in the history of ideas, we argue that despite Coubertins attempt to develop a cultural theory of sport which would complement his ideology of the Olympic Games, ultimately his moral reform agenda floundered not only because it was, as Brown rightly notes, “masculinist, paternalistic and conservative. a bourgeois discourse of art and culture where the pleasure of physical activity was necessarily abstracted to the level of the intellectual perception of beauty,” (15) but also because the very notions of moral beauty, or moral progress, or the beautiful soul, lost favor in European thought because they tended toward exclusivity, elitism, and the atomization of self, what Hegel called an “empty nothingness.” (16) From the very beginning of his Olympic odyssey, Coubertin waxed lyrical about the beauty of ancient Greece, the “majestic beauty” and “tranquil serenity” of the Parthenon, (17) and most especially the beauty of Olympia, “the cradle of a view of life strictly Hellenic in form.” (18) Profoundly enamored by the “holy city of ancient athletics,” “the capital of ancient sport,” (19) he dwelt on Olympias Edenic qualities, its “serene beauty and its tranquil majesty,” (20) on “the beauty of the surrounding countryside,” (21) “the beauty” of the “giant plane trees, olive trees and silver poplars,” (22) and on the beauty of the entire environment: “Cool, pure air, fragrant with the scent of the fields, wafted from the banks of the Alpheus,” he wrote during his visit to the site in 1927. “For a moment the moon lit up a vaporous landscape, then the starry night fell on the two thousand years I had come to recapture.” (23) Olympia, as a literary topos, served as Coubertins secular locus amoenus. Inevitably, given Coubertins trenchant romanticism and Hellenic zealotry, Olympia assumed a thematic significance well beyond a matter of simple geography and climate. Coubertin specifically praised the Greeks aesthetic ingenuity when creating “dominant silhouettes that integrated man, architecture, and countryside and produced an impression of beauty that appealed to the masses, even the least refined.” (24) Just as Julies garden in Jean-Jacques Rousseaus book Julie becomes symbolic of the “beautiful soul,” (25) so in Coubertins allegorical rhetoric, Olympia becomes the incarnation of what lurked at the heart of his aesthetic ideology, his notion of eurythmy. Echoing themes that were to continually infuse his thinking, he wrote that:

Although there were no new blockbuster health care bills passed during the 2004 session of the Maryland General Assembly, Marylands legislature was, nevertheless, busy addressing issues ranging from umbilical cords to obesity, from podiatrists to the CareFirst executive suite, and from the legibility of physician handwriting to the uninsured. Podiatrist Reimbursement. If an insurer, nonprofit health plan or HMO reimburses a service that is within the lawful scope of practice of a licensed podiatrist, it must reimburse the same amount for that service regardless of whether the service is performed by a physician or a licensed podiatrist. However, the carrier is not prohibited from determining the reimbursement based on geographic location of the service or the preeminent qualifications of the physician/podiatrist. This applies to all policies issued for delivery or renewed on or after Oct. 1, 2004. Patients Plan of Care. The office of the attorney general must develop a patients plan of care form that will summarize the patients wishes regarding the use of life-sustaining measures and regarding the transfer of the individual to a hospital from a non- hospital setting.
