Psychological intervention reduces disability and depression in adolescents
2011-11-22 03:49:00 A recent trial shows cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) reduces functional disability and depressive symptoms in adolescents with juvenile fibromyalgia. The psychological intervention was found to be safe and effective, and proved to be superior to disease management education. Full findings from this multi-site clinical trial are published in Arthritis & Rheumatism, a peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Medical evidence reports that juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome affects 2% to 7% of school age children. Similar to adult cases, the juvenile form of the disorder primarily strikes adolescent girls. Both adult and juvenile fibromyalgia patients experience widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, as well as sleep and mood disturbances. Previous studies show that juvenile fibromyalgia patients are burdened with substantial physical, school, social and emotional impairments. However, studies investing treatment for the juvenile form of the disorder ...
Reports of Mental Health Disability Increase in U.S.
2011-09-23 16:35:00 The prevalence of self-reported mental health disabilities increased in the U.S. among non-elderly adults during the last decade, according to a study by Ramin Mojtabai, MD, PhD, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. At the same time, the study found the prevalence of disability attributed to other chronic conditions decreased, while the prevalence of significant mental distress remained unchanged. The findings will appear in the November edition of the American Journal of Public Health. ?These findings highlight the need for improved access to mental health services in our communities and for better integration of these services with primary care delivery,? said Mojtabai, an associate professor in the Bloomberg School?s Department of Mental Health. ?While the trend in self-reported mental health disability is clear, the causes of this trend are not well understood.? For the study, Mojtabai reviewed data from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey covering 3...

Should You File a Claim for Job Disability Discrimination?: The Facts
2011-01-25 17:57:00 With the U. S. job market remaining unrelenting in a still sluggish economy, the filing of discrimination lawsuits against employers has increased by 7.2% from 2009-2010. The largest increase was from people who said they have been discriminated against due to a disability. This increase may have something to do with the recent changes in the EEOC act in the leniency of the definition of the term disability under the Obama Administration. Still, many employment experts say the increase in the discrimination law suits has more to do with the massive and broad lay-offs over the past couple of years. Workers have found it difficult to find a new job after being laid-off or fired. And the only...
Stephanie Speak/The King's Speech:Triumph Despite Disability!
2011-01-14 15:00:00 (My teen blogger Stephanie recently saw the King's Speech and shared her view on this uplifting film) The past week, I was able to take a break for a little and go see The King's Speech with my dad and sister. The King's Speech presents a well-crafted and true story of struggle, friendship, and ultimate triumph. It came as no surprise to find out that the movie was nominated for an impressive seven Golden Globes. Colin Firth depicts King George IV, who struggled with a speech impediment since he was a little boy. As king, one has to speak publicly on a rather regular basis, which, as I can only imagine, would be frightening if one had a stammer. The...
Disability Works, Does It?
2010-12-10 09:14:00 Companies like A4e, who are paid by the government to get benefit claimants into work, are treated with at best suspicion, and at worst fear and loathing, by many disabled people, especially following TV programmes such as Benefit Busters. The DWP currently have a shortlist for other companies who are bidding for contracts to carry out government compulsory back-to-work schemes, and worryingly one of the shortlisted companies is the dreaded ATOS, who carry out the ESA medicals, and G4S (formerly Group 4 Security). However, apparently also on the shortlist, according to benefitsandwork.co.uk, is a consortium consisting of a group of 7 charities, who have called themselves Disability Works UK. Disability Works UK is a collaboration of national third sector disability organisations including Leonard Cheshire, Mencap, Scope, Mind, Action for Blind People, United Response, Pure Innovations, Advance UK and Pluss. They boast about their £654.4 million turnover, and cash surplus of £15.6 mi...
Mentally Retarded Now Have 'Intellectual Disability'
2010-09-25 02:04:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Along with implementing a socialist takeover of healthcare making it more expensive and less attentive, aside from taking over America's car industry and creating a new brand of auto -- Government Motors -- and right along side efforts to give Big Labor millions of our tax dollars in payoffs and bailouts, not to mention attempting to takeover the banking and investing sectors, the Obama administration and the Democrat Party have also decided that we can no longer say "mentally retarded," or even mentally disabled." Hence forth by order of Democrats we shall now call them "intellectually disabled." This is the really important work of Congress in these "interesting times" in which we live. With this important...

?Invisible Disability? Kids Are Being Left Out
2009-11-11 09:42:00 We are the parents of two children with what are often termed ?invisible disabilities.? Invisible disabilities can include learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders and Asperger?s syndrome, Tourette?s syndrome and other tic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other anxiety disorders, mood disorders and behavioral disorders. Why are these disabilities ?invisible?? When you see our children and others similarly diagnosed, you think they are ?typical? children. These kids are often verbal and sometimes highly articulate; they are of average intelligence and even extremely bright, and their ability to maneuver physically, socially and emotionally in the real world seems unimpaired. In reality, these kids are dealing with a lot of complex issues. Many of these children find our loud, smelly, busy world overwhelming and may take refuge by Jewish Theological Seminary shutting the rest of us out. Some seek out even more sensation and have difficulty modulating their voic...

The One Where I Actually Talk About Something Related To My Disability
2008-12-31 04:27:00 So we three went shopping this weekend and pulled in to park in one of the handicapped spots in the store parking lot. Sweetie seemed to proudly declare, as Hubby turned off the engine, "The handicap spot!"."That's right." I said. "We always get to park in the handicap spot." Then I went on, asking her:"Do you know which one of us has the handicap?"To which Sweetie - probably too quickly - answered:"Daddy?""No. Not Daddy."Sweetie took another few seconds before cocking her head, shrugging up her face, and asking:"You?""Yep. That's right."Then Hubby asked her if she even knew what handicapped meant. No, she said. She did not.By then we were getting out of the car and Sweetie walked to the front of the car, pointing to the sign, telling us - "This is the handicap sign. That's what handicap means."Ah... no. No it doesn't.I really wanted to pursue this line of questioning, this informative discussion. But at that point we were hustling into the store, trying to hurriedly dodge cars ...

?Disability? No deterrent to IRA- The Fleecing of Our Parents
2008-06-02 06:00:00 May 30th, 2008 by Estate Of Denial.ComThe Involuntary Redistribution of Assets (IRA) cases highlighted here at Estate of Denial portray some seriously ugly actions. Anyone thinking otherwise should spend time reading our News Archive.Today?s archive addition is a story out of California (http://www.estateofdenial.com/-?p=376) regarding a lawyer who is charged with embezzling more than $110,000 from an estate managed by the lawyer for a man under treatment for a psychotic disorder.IRA cases are about opportunity and practitioners recognize impaired individuals as potentially lucrative revenue generators.

This came about after a new install of Leopard. I was quite surprised by this as it?s not supposed to be possible. Just to make sure I wasn?t going nuts I created 4 different projects of varying complexity in FCP 6.0 and they all opened in 6.0.1. But then I tried to update to 6.0.2 on the Leopard partition and Software Update wouldn?t see it or any recent Final Cut Studio updates. I had a feeling that I needed a new version of Quicktime.

Then I was able to update all of the Studio applications. After that the magic was gone. No more backward compatibili...
