Hooray for summer: riding in a high-speed boat, swimming in the lake and hanging with friends. It can be a great time of year for a dog, too -- if not for thunderstorms and fireworks. Noise and storm phobias are two of the most common ailments that can affect pets this time of year. A phobia is defined as a fear out of proportion with the danger of the situation. In other words, it is totally overreacting to something that to most of us is not a big deal.
If you have a phobia, don't be anxious: You aren't alone. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 8.7 percent of Americans -- or 19.2 million people -- have a phobia or anxiety-related disorder of one kind or another.
Dear Jerry: Because my 78-year-old wife has some health conditions, she requires occasional trips to the hospital ER. Last year, she was in the ER here then again when we visited our daughter in Redford, Mich.
The No 1 concern facing today's records managers is lack of consistent compliance on the part of employees and contractors with records management policies, processes, and procedures. While there are many different ways to ensure that there is consistent conformance across organizations, one method that should be considered is a records management compliance plan. Developing a records management compliance plan requires some thought to be put into understanding organizational cultures, legal and regulatory factors, current operational procedures, and user perceptions. Organizations are increasingly paying attention to their records management programs partly due to the "headline news" publicity given to organizations that lose customer records and partly due to the substantial fines lev...
The blockbuster movie, "The King's Speech," was particularly fascinating to me, a retired speech pathologist. In fact, I found it to be a most revealing commentary on one of society's least understood, sometimes ignored and seldom discussed issues -- stuttering. It must be noted that beyond the featured speech itself, the king's teacher did nothing to reverse or ameliorate the king's stuttering/stammering difficulties. His speech problem remained unchanged throughout his life, highlighting the fact that stuttering can be a major problem creating profound and harmful situations in the life of the person who stutters or stammers. It's important to note that both difficulties, stuttering and stammering, have the same root cause.
The academically underprepared community college student may also be psychosocially underprepared for college, a condition contributing to the development of classroom-specific social phobia and to the high attrition rate at community colleges. The Find Your Voice Program uses individual and group cognitive-behavioral techniques to develop students' academic and social integration with the college, thereby promoting active learning, academic success, and persistence in the pursuit of an Associate's degree.
The Digital Bookmobile stopped by the Kanawha County Public Library's main branch Tuesday, giving patrons a look at the library's digital offerings. We want to introduce people to the world of downloading," said Toni Blessing, the Kanawha main library's adult services manager. "We want to get people over the little bit of fear they have.
It's being billed as a "Prom For All. For those who approach the world from a hetero-normative perspective (which is essentially all of America), that means that Saturday's Downtown prom, hosted by the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center, really is for all.
The gathering storm on Capitol Hill over a proposed takeover of six key U.S. ports by a Dubai-based company - highlighted by calls this week for emergency legislation to ban such ownership and operations of U.S. ports - demonstrates an incoherence in Washington about America's engagement of and role in the global economy. Raising the specter of national security threats to mask protectionist and isolationist tendencies in Congress is no replacement for a legitimate debate about how America should benefit from and protect itself against the rising tide of globalization. The Dubai deal is a showcase example of how to deal with important issues confronting America's disquiet about where it stands in an increasingly integrated world - whether by examining U.S. double standards in trade and ...
