Stuttering: Fumbling With the Normal Flow of Speech
One of the great joys of parenting is listening to your child learn to speak. However for some, this process causes concern, frustration, and social isolation.
"I couldn't wait until Cooper could talk. Now, every time he speaks I'm a nervous wreck," admits Susan, a mother of a 7 year old child that stutters. "Everyone kept telling me he would outgrow it ( stuttering), but he didn't. Soon after his 5th birthday, I knew I had to get help."
Speech: A Complex Process
Learning to speak isn't easy. Speech requires understanding of language, converting thoughts to words, and rapid and intricate movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, vocal cords, and teeth. In addition, precise timing of the muscles for breathing and sound production is necessary to a child's ability to speak. Many factors can interrupt these processes.
Most children will speak normally by the time they enter kindergarten, but some will continue to have a speech or language disorder. A speech disorder occurs when a child has difficulty putting sounds together to form words. Stuttering is one of several speech disorders that cause disfluency in a person's ability to speak.
What Does Stuttering Sound Like?
Stuttering is characterized by a repetition of sounds or syllables, usually at the beginning of words. For example, "Mommy went to the s-s-store", or "That ba-ba-baby is crying." These repetitions and prolongations are often accompanied by tightness in the speech muscles, changes in the pitch or volume of the voice, and facial expressions of fear. Frequent occurrence of such behaviors is considered stuttering.
This type of disruption in the flow of speech most often develops between age 2-5 years, when a child's vocabulary is developing at a rapid rate. However as a child begins to reach school age, stuttering becomes less evident.
The following criteria have been identified as warning signs of disfluency associated with stuttering:
- Frequent sound and syllable repetition
- Syllable repetition in which an "uh" vowel replaces the correct vowel in the word ("puh-puh-peach rather than "pe-pe-peach")
- Frequent prolongations of sounds that become longer in duration
- Trembling of muscles around the mouth and jaw during speech
- Rises in the pitch or loudness of the voice during the prolongation of sounds
- Tension and struggling while saying certain words
- A look of fear or frustration on the child's face while saying a word
- Avoidance of or delay in saying certain words
What Causes Stuttering?
There are multiple reasons a child will stutter and several practices that may worsen an existing stuttering problem.
- Development —As mentioned earlier, rapid development of language during the preschool years is a common cause. The child has many thoughts to express and is quickly making decisions about the appropriate words needed to correctly communicate. This is often referred to as developmental stuttering, which is often outgrown.
- Coordination —Another reason is a lack of coordination in the movement of the lips, tongue, jaw, and vocal cords, causing them to miss the rapid movements required for speech. This can be due to a lack of maturity and can also be outgrown, or can be caused by a neurogenic disorder.
- Genetics —There is some speculation that a predisposition to stuttering is genetic. Some research indicates that stuttering tends to be more prominent within certain families.
- Parenting —A common misconception is that poor parenting or a negative home environment causes stuttering. There is no evidence that the way a child is raised is the cause. However, stuttering can be affected by the way people respond to the stutterer and the child's anxiety concerning his stuttering.
- Stress —Although stress does not cause stuttering, existing stuttering can be aggravated by stressful circumstances. When a child feels pressure to perform, find the correct words, construct appropriate sentences, and coordinate their speech muscles to form words, they are likely to be disfluent in their speech.
As a parent, if you are concerned about your child's speech, ask your pediatrician for advice and a referral to a speech-language pathologist—a professional trained to test and treat individuals with speech, language, and voice disorders. This is especially appropriate if your child's stuttering persists for more than 6 months.
Early identification and treatment of speech and language disorders is important to improving communication skills. The goal of early intervention therapy is to build a foundation for fluent speech by helping the child to view speaking as easy and enjoyable instead of difficult and dreadful.
Many children outgrow stuttering without therapy. However, it is difficult to determine who will and who will not. If the nature of the problem is associated with a physical tension of the speech muscles, it is less likely to be outgrown.
At this time there is no cure for stuttering. However, early intervention and continued therapy can control the stuttering, resulting in a more normal flow of speech. Most therapy programs will focus on specific speech techniques as well as the psychological issues associated with stuttering.
Your Role
As a parent, you play a significant role in your child's speech and language development. The way you communicate with your child is important. A child who stutters needs extra patience and encouragement. But the results are worth it!
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when having a conversation with your child:
- Provide a relaxed environment for communication.
- Speak slowly and easily, without tension.
- Use consistent and direct eye contact when your child is speaking.
- Do not discuss your child's stuttering with others when your conversation can be overheard.
- Pause for a short time before responding to your child's comments. This provides time to say something else without feeling rushed.
- Avoid interruptions and do not complete your child's sentence.
- Set aside at least a few minutes each day to talk one-on-one with your child.
- Avoid criticism or direction when your child speaks, such as "Slow down and think about what you want to say."
- Avoid having them speak to perform, such as "Tell grandma what you are learning in school." Allow the child to initiate the conversation.
Share these tips with the child's siblings, teachers, and caregiver.
The more you understand your child's stuttering, the more you can help. With patience and understanding, you can help eliminate much of the frustration and anger associated with stuttering, and encourage your child's communication.

A gifted artist recalls the days when freedom was as elusive as a yellow submarine in picture book that won the American Library Association's Robert F. Sibert Medal for the most distinguished "information book" of 2007 today
The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain. By Peter Sís. Farrar, Straus and Giroux/Frances Foster Books, 56 pp., $18. Ages 8 and up.
By Janice Harayda
Peter Sís is a rarity – an artist who smartens up picture books when others dumb them down. He grew up in Czechoslovakia and seems to lack the usual Americans preconceptions about what children's books "need" to contain. Perhaps partly for this reason, he does highly original work that has won him a MacArthur grant and many others.
A case in point is this memoir of his childhood behind the Iron Curtain, which today won the Robert F. Sibert Medal for the most distinguished "information book" of 2007 and a Caldecott Honor, both from the American Library Association www.ala.org. In The Wall Sís finds the midpoint between picture books and graphic novels by telling his story partly through panels similar to comic strips. This enables him to fit a remarkable amount of information into 56 pages.
Sís uses captioned drawings of himself to depict experiences such as going to Communist schools: "Children are encouraged to report on their families and fellow students. Parents learn to keep their opinions to themselves." Because many American children would lack a context for such lines, he adds background in creative ways – for example, by using lines of explanatory text as frames for drawings. He enriches all of it through a wealth of visual details. including an image of a yellow submarine to show the joy that erupted when the Beatles visited Prague.
As in some of his earlier work, Sís shows that oppressed people long for freedom even when they are better off than many of their peers. Sís yearned for the artistic freedom stifled when under Communism. He says on his last page: "As long as he can remember, he will continue to draw."
Best line/picture: A full-page picture of a maze suggests how Czechs changed street signs an effort to thwart the Soviet invasion in 1968, one of many memorable images.
Worst line/picture: Sís includes excerpts from what he calls "My Journals" from 1954–1977 would have benefited from a bit more explanation. Diaries might have been considered subversive if discovered by the Communist authorities. Did he really keep these "journals" or were they created after the fact?
Published: August 2007 www.petersis.com and www.fsgkidsbooks.com
Futhermore: Sís came to the U.S. in the 1980s and lives near New York City.

Roundup: Strawn captures SEC title in hammer throw
The Gator men scored 20 points on the opening day of competition at the 2013 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships, courtesy of an impressive showing in the men's hammer throw at the Audrey J. Walton Stadium on the campus of the University of Missouri.
Sophomore Kyle Strawn took home the SEC men's hammer throw crown, tossing a new personal best of 66.90m/219-6 to best his teammate and 2012 champion in the event, Jeremy Postin. Postin nearly matched Strawn, throwing 66.83m/219-3 to claim the runner-up spot with his best throw of the day just three inches short of Strawn's effort.
"Obviously it's really exciting to win SECs," Strawn said. "Even though I grew up in California, I've always been a Gator fan and it means a lot to me to wear this uniform. I had a goal for myself and I wanted to throw 65 meters and I surpassed that.
"It's awesome to compete against these guys every day and it's really important for us to get these points early."
Along with Strawn and Postin, Gator teammates David Levin and David Triassi advanced to the finals of the men's hammer throw. Levin
scored two points for the Gators with his seventhplace throw of 59.57m/195-5.
"I can't begin to say how proud I am of the hammer throwers as a group and the work they've done with Coach (Steve) Lemke, Florida head coach Mike Holloway said. "For Kyle to win the hammer throw, that's an unbelievable accomplishment for him."
On the women's side, junior Lorraine Graham sits third in the women's heptathlon after four events, putting up four personal bests on Thursday after a two-hour rain delay deferred the start of the meet.
WOMEN'S GOLF: At Norman, Okla., getting career-low scores from senior Mia Piccio and junior Elcin Ulu, fifth-ranked Florida was able to jump out to a one-stroke lead after the first round of the NCAA Central Regional. Piccio tied her career-best with a three-under (69), while Ulu went one stroke better to lead UF with a four-under (68). Ulu also sits in third place on the individual board, trailing only Emily Collins of Oklahoma while Piccio is in a six-way tie for third.
As a team, the Gators shot a score of 282 (-6) to lead second-place Oklahoma by one shot, its lowest first round score in an NCAA regional since shooting 284 (-4) as a team in 2010. It's also Florida's lowest score for a first round in any tournament this year as three Gators shot under par for the day. Along with Piccio and Ulu, freshman Ursa Orehek (Domzale, Slovenia) was able to card three birdies and only two bogeys en route to a one-under (71), which ties for her season-best.

Konerko says players learn to deal with trade rumors
Addressing a dubious rumor that had him possibly going to the Los Angeles Angels, White Sox captain Paul Konerko said players treat trade speculation more like fantasy football than anything.
It's a lot of talk and speculation that ends up being mostly just that — a whole lot of gossip.
While that may be true, every trade that will be pulled off in the majors before Tuesday's 3 p.m. (CDT) non-waiver deadline involves more than just a name on a computer screen.
The commodities involved are living, breathing people who have families, homes and roots, and are about to move to a new city, start a new job and undergo a major change of life.
It's anyone's guess as to how many more trades Sox general manager Ken Williams will pull off Tuesday, but if any more Sox players are traded, most of them already have a good idea what it's like to be sent packing.
"Obviously, it's emotional," said Jim Thome, who's been traded once in his career, from the Philadelphia Phillies to the White Sox on Nov. 25, 2005. "It's surprising. There's a little bit of excitement involved because you're going to a new organization, going to a new club, new manager, new teammates. (There's) a little bit of sadness that you leave old teammates.
"There's a lot of, for lack of a better term, emotion because, depending on the situation, there are a lot of different situations you could be going to."
The most-traded Sox player, Javier Vazquez, knows that more than anyone.
Vazquez was traded from the sinking Montreal Expos to the front-running New York Yankees on Dec. 16, 2003, then shipped to the sorry Arizona Diamondbacks on Jan. 11, 2005, then to a top-tier team — at least last year — in the Sox on Dec. 20, 2005.
"The first year, when I got traded from Montreal to New York, I was happy because I was going to better situation, better team and all that," said Vazquez, who has been the subject of rumors and scouting again this year. "When I got traded from the Yankees to Arizona, I was disappointed, but when I was traded Arizona to here, I was happy again.
"It's just a matter of what team you get traded to or what situation you're in. It depends. You can be happy or you can be sad. Overall, I guess, it's been good, I guess."
Very few players control their futures at this time of the season, and most have come to accept that trades are just a part of the job.
"Inside, you're always like, 'I wish I would have stayed' — everyone wants to stay with the organization for their whole career," said catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who was traded from Minnesota to San Francisco for Joe Nathan, Boof Bonser and Francisco Liriano on Nov. 14, 2003.
"But it doesn't happen anymore, it really doesn't. You can't name too many guys who started and ended their careers with the same organization. You understand ...
"Most of the time, you know it's coming. It doesn't usually come as a huge, huge surprise most of the time. You're expecting it. It's more, most of the time, 'Where am I going?' which is more the surprise than the trade itself."
Then again, sometimes the trade itself can be unexpected.
"I was more in shock because I had just gotten drafted by the team, I was only with them for a year, and then at such a young age, they sent me off without even knowing pretty much what I was capable of," said Jon Garland, who was an 18-year-old minor leaguer when he was traded from the Cubs to the Sox for Matt Karchner on July 29, 1998.
"More of shock, then I took it as that other team wanted me more. They wanted me more and they went and got me."
Of course, not all trades bring about shock, disappointment or anger. Sometimes it's the best thing that can happen to a player.
"To be traded, it's actually kind of fun," said rookie John Danks, who was stuck in the minors with Texas before coming to the Sox with Nick Masset in exchange for Brandon McCarthy on Dec. 23, 2006.
"Obviously, there's some shock early, but once you get over it and start meeting new guys, it's fun. Baseball people are baseball people.
"Once you make some new friends, you feel a lot more comfortable."

The nation's uninsured rate dropped modestly this month as the major coverage expansion under President Barack Obama's health care law got underway, according to a closely watched survey released Thursday.
The Gallup numbers could be the first evidence that core provisions of Obama's much-debated law have started delivering on the promise of access for nearly all Americans.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that the uninsured rate for U.S. adults dropped by 1.2 percentage points in January, to 16.1 percent. The biggest change was for unemployed people, a drop of 6.7 percentage points. That was followed by a 2.6 percentage-point decline for nonwhites. Traditionally both groups are far more likely to be uninsured than the population as a whole.
The survey of 9,000 people found no appreciable change among young adults ages 18-34. Members of that coveted, low-cost demographic have been ambivalent about signing up so far.
The overall drop in the uninsured rate would translate to approximately 2 million to 3 million people gaining coverage.
Major elements of the health care law took effect with the new year. Virtually all Americans are now required to get covered or risk fines. Insurers can no longer turn away people with health problems. New state-based markets are offering taxpayer-subsidized insurance to middle-class households.
Medicaid sign-ups are also rising. That's partly because of a program expansion accepted by half the states and partly as a consequence of previously eligible but unenrolled people now forced to comply with the law's individual coverage mandate.
"The uninsured rate had been expected to come down as the Affordable Care Act was implemented," said Frank Newport, Gallup's editor-in-chief. "That would be the most reasonable hypothesis."
Nonetheless, Newport said it could take a calendar quarter — three months — to discern a full trend. Other factors could also be behind the shift, including an improving economy.
"It's a drop, but not extraordinary," said Newport. "The glass is half full for proponents of the Affordable Care Act because things are moving in the right direction. But the glass is half empty because things haven't moved much."
The increase in coverage among unemployed people "comports with what the Affordable Care Act was intended to do," he added.
Gallup's numbers are not comparable to various figures cited by the Obama administration, estimates that have ranged as high as 9 million people benefiting.
The administration's numbers include people buying coverage in the new insurance exchanges, Medicaid enrollees and young adults who can stay on a parent's plan until they turn 26. But some of those people may have been insured previously; they either had to switch coverage because of the law or they joined a new plan because it turned out to be a better deal.
The coverage rollout has been a wild ride for Obama and congressional Democrats who battled to pass the law four years ago against lockstep Republican opposition.
The federal enrollment website serving 26 states went down when it was launched Oct. 1, and it took two months to make needed fixes. Meanwhile, at least 4.7 million people had their existing individual policies canceled because those plans didn't meet the law's requirements. Republicans hoped "Obamacare" would implode.
The story still could take unexpected turns because open enrollment season doesn't end until March 31. While the technical problems with HealthCare.gov have largely been cleared up, insurers are still reporting glitches. And consumers getting familiar with the new plans are finding that some tightly restrict their choices of doctors and hospitals.
The Gallup-Healthways survey found that the uninsured rate dropped in January across major subgroups. Women saw a decline of 1.9 percentage points, about three times greater than the 0.6 percentage-point drop for men. Uninsured rates also fell all along the income ladder, with those making $36,000-$89,999 seeing the greatest drop, 1.8 percentage points.
The survey was based on telephone interviews from Jan. 2-19 with a random sample of 9,145 adults aged 18 and older in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total national sample, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 1 percentage point.

Clinton planning to return to work next week
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sidelined for almost a month by a string of medical problems, is upbeat and planning to return to work next week, the State Department said today.
One day after being released from the New York hospital that was treating a blood clot in her head, Clinton was at home resting, but was far from idle. She spent the day engaging with senior staff, reviewing paperwork and calling in to a meeting of her foreign policy advisory board, said her spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland.
"She's looking forward to getting back to the office," Nuland said. "She is very much planning to do so next week."
The announcement that Clinton soon would return to her Washington office ended what had been a somber point of uncertainty hanging over her month-long health ordeal: whether the 65-year-old secretary would be able to resume her duties before stepping down at the start of President Barack Obama's second term, as she had long planned to do.
Clinton in early December began the final few weeks of a widely lauded term as the nation's top diplomat. But a celebratory mood increasingly gave way to worry and uncertainty over her future as she took ill with a stomach virus, then seemed to deteriorate. While at home recuperating from the virus, Clinton became dehydrated and fainted, fell and struck her head, leading to a concussion, her spokesman said.
Then on Sunday, doctors performing a follow-up exam discovered a clot in a vein that runs through the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. Clinton was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where doctors began administering blood thinners to dissolve the clot. Clinton's physicians have said there was no neurological damage and they expect her to make a full recovery.
Until Wednesday, when Clinton was photographed getting into a van with her husband, Bill, and daughter, Chelsea, a few hours before being released, she hadn't been seen in public since Dec. 7.
How much of her normal schedule the globetrotting Clinton will be able to resume is not yet clear, and her doctors have advised her not to travel abroad for the time being, her spokeswoman said. In the meantime, well wishes are pouring in from around the world.
"I think you could call the number of good will messages a tsunami," Nuland said.
Clinton's illness in December abruptly halted her usually jam-packed schedule, forcing her to cancel a trip to North Africa and the Middle East and to postpone scheduled testimony before Congress on the fatal Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. "She is committed to testifying, and we are working with the committees on an appropriate set of dates," Nuland said.
She was also absent from the White House last month when Obama nominated Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to succeed her.
The State Department said today that Kerry has started meeting with diplomatic staff to prepare for his Senate confirmation hearings, and while at the department's Foggy Bottom headquarters yesterday he received a large amount of briefing materials. Kerry will return to the State Department for regular meetings starting Friday.
Clinton's medical struggles have also raised questions about her political future and how her health might influence her decision about whether to run for president in 2016, a move prominent Democrats have been urging her to consider.
Clinton also suffered from a blood clot in 1998, midway through her husband's second term as president. That clot was located in her knee.

Fiserv Launches Prepaid Mobile Deposit Service
Fiserv today announced it is launching a mobile deposit solution that will allow consumers to load funds from checks onto prepaid cards.
Prepaid Source Capture, which is delivered through Fiserv's Mobile Source Capture product, allows prepaid processors to offer their customers the ability to load immediate, guaranteed funds from a personal or business check using a smartphone's camera, the company said.
"By combining industry-leading check capture technology with easy check guarantee and authentication processes, Fiserv helps prepaid card processors and program managers increase card load volume, and has the potential to retain and grow their customer base," said Gary Brand, director, Source Capture Solutions, Fiserv, in a statement. "The ability to easily load funds from a check to a card adds a great deal of convenience for the consumer, and can be a valuable addition to traditional banking."
According to Fiserv, consumers can make a deposit by downloading their prepaid processor's app and taking a picture of the front and back of a paper check with a smartphone. They can then load the check deposit electronically to a prepaid card, without having to visit a bank or ATM. Fiserv is partnering with check guarantee service VALID Systems to provide near real-time check verification and instant funding for the consumer.
Fiserv will initially offer Prepaid Source Capture to prepaid card processors, with plans to make it available to financial institution clients at a later date.

Wireless network Faculty of Science
Within the Science Faculty a secure wireless 54 Mbit/s wi-fi WPA network is available at almost every place in the Huygens building, starting july 2005. The network advertises itself with the name (SSID) "Science"". It can only be used by people with a Science-login. Since fall 2006 the university RU-wlan is available in the Huygens building for all students and personnel of the RU.
What you need
To access this "Science"-network, you need:
- Hardware
Wi-Fi hardware that supports WPA (more exactly WPA Enterprise). Almost all laptops have this built-in since a few years. All Intel Centrino laptops should be fine. N.B.: There is a security vulnerability in the Intel Centrino Windows-drivers, see Intel support for more information and updates. If one wants to use the Intel PROSet/Wireless software instead of the Windows software, the update above could be necessary.
Laptops from 2003 or later should be fine too, but often you need a driver-update (see the manufacturers web-site). When the built-in hardware doesn't support WPA, one can buy for about EUR 30,- a PCMCIA-card or USB-stick that does. See if needed wi-fi.org for "certified" hardware. C&CZ has tested two low-cost certified PCMCIA-cards, Linksys WPC54G-EU and D-Link DWL-G650+. Older 11 Mbit/s 802.11b hardware as well as newer 54 Mbit/s 802.11g hardware can be used, as long as WPA is supported.
- Software
- Either Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2). We wrote an extensive installation manual.
- Or Microsoft Windows Vista. Click "Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network". Choose "Setup connection or network". Choose "Setup manually". Choose then "Science" (with 1 capital!), WPA Enterprise and TKIP. Next choose "Change connection settings" and click in the tab "Security" on "Protected EAP" and "Settings...". In the window "Protected EAP properties" one has to check "Validate server certificate" and choose the verification method "Protected password (EAP-MSCHAP v2) and withing this in "Configure" uncheck "Automatically use my Windows-logonname and -password (and domain if necessary)". If one doesn't want to make a connection with previously entered account information, one can uncheck "Cache user information for subsequent connections to this network". In the meantime see if necessary the Cable Guy). In the near future, we will provide a detailed installation manual, until then one can use, if needed, the manual as mentioned above. If this is too difficult, don't hesitate to stop by C&CZ with your laptop.
- Or any other operating system with WPA support
- For older versions of Windows XP or for Windows 2000, see the Microsoft website, e.g.: Overview of the WPA Wireless Security Update in Windows XP and/or Troubleshooting Windows XP IEEE 802.11 Wireless Access
- For Windows Mobile we would like to hear the settings or problems! It appears that Windows Mobile 5 will not let you install our self-signed certificate. You can circumvent this with something called AEConfig, it seems.
- For a Palm TX one can buy a WPA-Enterprise upgrade for about 6 US dollar.
- For Linux see this premature manual, which uses WPA supplicant.
- For Macintosh OS X: the latest versions support WPA.
- For Macintosh one needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher: See e.g. Apple's WPA Requirements information. Detailed info (and a Mac) fail us now. If someone has it, we would be pleased to hear more.
- Username and password
Before any Internet-traffic is possible, the combination of a loginname and password is checked through the 802.1x mechanism. One should prevent giving the loginname/password combination to a rogue (non-C&CZ) access-point, by checking the server-certificate. All traffic is encrypted with constantly changing keys, which makes eavesdropping impossible.
- For the "Science" network a C&CZ (science) username and password. Every employee and student of the Faculty of Science has (a right to) that.
- (For the RU-wlan) a RU-password for every RU-employee and student.
- (Not yet available at the RU:) or a username/password of an institution that takes part in EduRoam.
Background and future
- At the end of 2004, it was decided that we wanted blanket wireless coverage in Huygens-building phase I. Later it was decided that the RU would supply wireless coverage everywhere on campus.
- After meetings with the UCI, Vosko and Cisco we chose the Cisco 1130AG as wireless access point. After a site survey by Vosko, 54 of these access points were placed in Huygens-building phase I. To manage these access-points (IOS-version, configurations), we bought a CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, and later added AirMagnet laptop for security and troubleshooting.
- We had a lot of trouble with the initial configuration, due to our wish to use our existing FreeRadius radius server, which was not supported by our suppliers, our wish to spread the users in different VLANs (subnets) and the wish to make a safe WPA network, for which the users of MS-Windows XP2 SP2 wouldn't have to install extra software and the users wouldn't give their passwords to wrong servers (withoud correct certificate).
- In the first few weeks of september 2005 50 different users logged in to the wireless network, the largest groups were Organic Chemistry, that switched over from "their own" wireless network and students Computer Science.
- During 2006 the wireless network was extended to the Huygens building phase II and NanoLab.
- In the next year(s), wireless connectivity will be available in all remaining buildings: HFML, Botanic Greenhouse, RootLab, ITS, A2-wing (after renovation), Linnaeus building (after renovation) and several locations outside (lawn, terrace, ....).
- The next generation wireless network will probably be discussed from late 2007: faster with 802.11n (200+ Mbit/s) and even more secure with WPA2 (better hardware encryption).
- As soon as we switch to VoIP (Voice Over IP, IP-Telephony) for our telephone system, we will look into VoWLAN (Voice over WLAN) as wireless speech solution.

Comedian Tracy Morgan injured in fatal crash
Eds: APNewsNow. Changes headlines. Recasts. Will be updated. With AP Photos. AP Video.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- A truck driver has been charged in a fatal accident on the New Jersey Turnpike that left comedian Tracy Morgan hospitalized in critical condition and seriously injured two other people.
Authorities say the man's tractor-trailer rammed into Morgan's limousine bus Saturday as he and a group traveled home from a standup comedy show in Delaware.
Prosecutors say truck driver, 35-year-old Kevin Roper, of Jonesboro, Georgia, was charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Comedian James McNair, who performed as Jimmy Mack, was killed in the crash. McNair was described as a mentor to the 45-year-old Morgan -- the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" cast member.
Morgan's spokesman said Morgan was receiving "excellent" hospital care.
Associated Press writers Bob Lentz and Josh Cornfield in Philadelphia, Bruce Shipkowski in Trenton and Julie Walker in New York contributed to this report.

We hope that you will support us in our effort to provide high quality designer molds for discriminating consumers desiring U.S products.
Mold size and pouring temperature of soap will determine set up time. It is imperative that you allow soap to cool completely before trying to remove from any mold. Depressions will occur in the top of mold if you try to release soap by force. Allow molded soaps to sit for at least 1 hour for best results. Gently pull the at the sides of the mold. This releases entrapped air between the mold and soap. Using firm, but gentle pressure, push on the top of mold until soap is released. If you are still having difficulty, place mold in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

Theo Schlossnagle: "I don't care what you use: puppet, chef, bcfg2, cfengine – choose one and automate your configuration." (Theo's presentation was a highlight, check out the slides here.)
Allspaw and Hammond from Flickr: "If there's only one thing you do, automate your infrastructure."
There were lots of Puppet users at the conference, and Luke Kaines gave a good talk on it.
Interested in a Chef intro? Watch the video of Adam and Ezra's talk:
From the Chef BoF:
- If you're just doing application deployment of a typical webapp then running chef-solo on deploy might be just fine for you (it is for the Remix team).
- Ezra points out that he has a chef subproject on git that even strips out cap – chef-deploy (vs cap sudo'ing out to chef).
- Adam gave a good explanation of the Chef run model.
- It's important to understand the basics of what's going on behind the scenes – otherwise you'll shell out right in the middle of your Chef scripts and be surprised by the run order.
- In short, all your Chef Resource statements are evaluated in a first pass. Then they're executed.
- This gives Chef the opportunity to evaluate what's to be done and optimize. Adam noted that included recipes are only executed once (analogous to ruby require's)
- Adam also mentioned something kind of cool – if I have this right – Resource statements return the associated Resource object. And when you refer to the Resource the same way twice, you're getting back the same Resource instance. So your included Recipes (for example) each have the opportunity to decorate a Resource defined earlier – if, say, it ought to be configured differently based on a combination of what else is getting installed on the box. Nice.

What are the benefits of acupuncture?
There are many proven health benefits of acupuncture, whether you're seeking short-term relief or need help with a chronic health condition. This alternative healing is likely why millions of adults nationwide get acupuncture treatments each year. Acupuncture provides pain relief, can help speed the body's natural healing process, and has also been proved to have positive outcomes on mental health concerns such as depression. Acupuncture can also help relieve discomfort associated with chronic and terminal illnesses. For example, acupuncture has been proved to be effective in helping cancer patients manage pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, hot flashes, xerostomia (dry mouth), neuropathy (nervous system problems), anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances, according to Cancer.gov. Acupuncture is a safe and effective alternative to opioids and other pain medications, which not only are hard on the body but also present the risk of addiction. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services found that people had less pain or were better able to manage pain when they received acupuncture as part of their health treatment.
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture works by restoring the body's natural healing powers. Acupuncture involves placing very thin needles into specific points on the body to influence the body's energy flow and help the body heal itself in a natural way. In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is linked to the belief that disease is caused by disruptions to the flow of energy (called qi in Chinese) in the body. The acupuncturist places whisper-thin needles into the arms, back, neck and other areas where the chi (or energy flow) has been blocked. The acupuncture needles stimulate points on or under the skin called acupuncture points or acupressure points, releasing this qi. These pathways — called "meridians" — become re-stimulated by the needles to bring blood and healing to the body. In Western medicine, acupuncture has been proved to relieve pain and help provide healing and relief from painful symptoms associated with everything from headaches to asthma to cancer. Western medicine sees the use of the needles as a way to stimulate the body's nervous system, thereby prompting healing.
What is Reiki and how does it work?
Reiki is a type of wellness bodywork, often referred to as energy work, that originated in Japan. Reiki practitioners offer this traditional healing technique with the intent of manipulating the flow of energy through the client's body. Unlike massage, Reiki uses minimal — if any — pressure, focusing on stimulating energy flow rather than working the soft tissue and muscles. This movement of energy is done to improve mental, emotional and physical health. Reiki is touted for its stress relief and ability to ease tension. It can also improve mental clarity, release stress and tension, manage pain, or help with spiritual growth. It is said that Reiki practitioners act as a channel for a universal life force to help support a client's natural ability to heal. Reiki sessions often last 30 to 90 minutes, with prices varying based on session length, background and experience of the provider, and where you live. Nationally, the average price range for a Reiki session is $60-$80.
What can be treated with acupuncture?
Acupuncture can be helpful for treating a wide variety of conditions ranging from cancer to headaches to sciatic nerve pain. It may also be useful for:
- Back pain, neck pain, knee pain, hand and foot pain, wrist and ankle pain, sciatic pain, nerve pain, arthritis, sports injuries, work-related injuries, TMJ, and carpal tunnel
- Whiplash and injuries from automobile accidents
- Migraine and tension headaches
- Menstrual cramping
- Herniated discs
- Fibromyalgia
- Emotional issues: Anxiety, depression, stress and insomnia
- Women's health: Prenatal and postpartum care, menstrual cramps, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, symptoms of menopause and infertility
- Pediatric problems such as bedwetting, digestive upset, ear infection, allergies, hyperactivity and injury treatment
- Digestive disorders such as heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, and constipation
- Respiratory problems such as asthma, acute and chronic cough, allergies, and chronic sinus problems
- Men's health problems such as erectile dysfunction, impotence, male infertility, urination difficulties and prostate problems
- Miscellaneous conditions such as fatigue, adrenal fatigue, vertigo and dizziness, eye and vision problems, and tooth, jaw and dental issues
What is naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is classified as an alternative healing method, but licensed naturopathic doctors share some of the same academic background as conventional medical doctors and can often prescribe some medications. According to the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP), naturopathic medicine is holistic care that addresses a wide range of problems including (but not limited to) allergies, chronic pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, obesity, respiratory conditions, heart disease, fertility problems, menopause, adrenal fatigue, cancer, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Naturopathic medicine aims to strengthen and empower the body and its organs to heal itself through low-force interventions. Here are some examples of the type of medical services often provided by naturopathic doctors, as cited by the AANP:
- Clinical and laboratory diagnostic testing
- Nutritional medicine
- Botanical medicine
- Naturopathic physical medicine (including naturopathic manipulative therapy)
- Hygiene
- Counseling
- Minor surgery
- Homeopathy
- Acupuncture
- Intravenous and injection therapy
- Naturopathic obstetrics (natural childbirth)
How does acupuncture work in the body?
Acupuncture is a centuries-old traditional Chinese medicine practice that has been incorporated into mainstream Western health practices due to its proven healing powers. After a thorough health intake and diagnosis, acupuncturists insert hair-thin needles into targeted acupuncture points on the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, energy (qi) channels (meridians) run throughout the body, and when any of these meridians are blocked the body suffers. Inserting acupuncture needles frees any blocks in the meridians and allows the qi to flow once more, enabling the body to come back into balance. According to the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, the scientific explanation in Western medicine is that "needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system." Well-designed studies have found that acupuncture can help with conditions such as back pain, knee pain, headaches and osteoarthritis.
How often do you need to get acupuncture?
How often you need acupuncture really depends on the health condition that is being treated. Acute issues such as a pulled groin or short-term digestion problems will likely require fewer treatments than a chronic disease such as some types of cancer. Dr. Lee Hullender Rubin, speaking with the Acupuncture Now Foundation, likens acupuncture sessions to a "dose" of medication prescribed by a doctor. If you have a condition like high blood pressure and are prescribed a medication to treat it, you wouldn't take one dosage and be done. Likewise, for ongoing health conditions, Dr. Hullender Rubin explains that more than one session of acupuncture is likely in order. "For pain-related diseases, it seems 12 to 20 sessions is a reasonable intervention to achieve stable results," says Dr. Hullender Rubin. For more acute (short-term) conditions, Dr. Tony Chon says that treatment might consist of two to six acupuncture sessions.
How long is a session of acupuncture?
Acupuncture sessions average from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment needed and your overall health. Typically, your first visit will be longer than your subsequent visits due to the intake questions and examination used to determine your health history and current health needs. The first acupuncture visit is often more expensive than subsequent visits. A typical course of treatments may be anywhere from two to six sessions, with chronic health conditions requiring longer-term plans. Acupuncture cost can vary, and often providers offer discounted rates per session when you purchase multiple sessions at one time. You may experience temporary relief after the first session or two. Once you're an established patient, acupuncture sessions average 30-45 minutes. Acupuncture needles are usually in place for approximately 15 minutes of the session, although each practitioner will have their own recommendation for your health needs. Most acupuncture practitioners suggest patients get treatment at least once a week during a course of treatment, though some people benefit from going more often.
What is an acupuncture treatment?
An acupuncture treatment is a type of integrative health care session that uses needles (and sometimes heat and/or electrical stimulation) to stimulate the body's nervous system to begin a healing process. Long practiced in traditional Chinese medicine and other Eastern cultures, acupuncture has gained widespread acceptance and use as a complementary and integrative part of healing in Western medicine. During an acupuncture treatment, the patient lies in a relaxed position on a table that is very similar to a massage table. The acupuncturist, having done a diagnosis of health concerns and determined a course of treatment, will insert thin stainless steel needles into the prescribed acupuncture points. These points are determined by the patient's health needs. The practitioner may gently manipulate the needles to trigger a healing response in the body. Typically there is no pain associated with the treatment. A session may use anywhere from 6-30 needles or more, depending on what illness is being treated. The needles can remain in place for 5-30 minutes, with 15 minutes being a common time. Acupuncture treatments are often prescribed in a series, based on patient need.
Where does Reiki energy come from?
Reiki is a form of bodywork that involves the "laying on of hands" to heal. In Reiki, a client lies down, clothed, and allows the energy worker to pass their hands slowly over their body, sometimes physically touching the body and sometimes hovering above it, to help create healing movement in their energy. This movement of energy is said to help the body's natural ability to heal itself.
According to the International Association of Reiki Professionals, the practice of Reiki was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900s. The doctor sought to create a healing practice that wasn't attached to any religion or religious belief so that all people could use it. The healing power of Reiki is said to come from a universal life force, and the Reiki practitioner is like a channel or conduit for the healing energy that is present in all living organisms. The Reiki practitioner can sense energy blockages and help restore flow, which in turn can help create emotional, physical, spiritual or mental wellness.
