There's no place like home

  Anne came home Sunday afternoon! We picked up her sister, Helen, at the airport on the way home and she's been resting comfortably since. She's glad to be home and we're glad that she's here where we can give her the focused care she needs right now.   I would have emailed, but Sunday and Monday were VERY hectic with getting her settled in. Then, as luck would have it, Last night my PC wouldn't boot. But, as you can see, I've fixed it and the updates have begun again!
  Helen has been doing a bit of shopping and taking care of Anne during the day. Tonight she made a delicious beer bread, lentil soup and salmon for dinner. Yesterday we had baked potatoes with "mucho mas" fixin's.
  Thank you for all your prayers and kindness. Please call prior to coming by for a visit, just to make sure that we don't overwhelm Anne.
  Blessings to you and yours,
Don and Anne

Anne's return!

Joyous joyousness!

  Anne was released from the hospital yesterday. Her checkout coincided with the arrival of Helen’s flight, so we both went to pick her up at the airport.

  Arriving home, Helen jumped right in with helping Anne out. It was amazing to me how easily she took to working with her stoma. After all the problems that some of the nursing staff, I was sure that we’d be fighting with it, also. But, I think that Anne was more relaxed at home and things went more easily. (Although I did have some trouble in the wee hours; so we’re not completely out of the woods yet.)

  Then she fixed Butternut Squash soup for lunch and Anne lay down for a nap. In her own bed! She was so happy not to have the constant background noise of the hospital that she went to sleep right away.

  I brought Helen up to speed on some of the major issues we’d had and did an update on Facebook before starting a Netflix movie.

  Speaking of Netflix – we’ve been having trouble watching streaming video on our new TV. When I called and complained to Netflix tech support they, of course, blamed ATT. So I called ATT TS and they “found something on the line” which he was able to reset.

  Testing the results seemed to indicate at first that things were better, but then the “Retrieving …” started once again. By the end of the call, a tech was scheduled to come look at wiring up to the house. (I can stream without a problem on the PCs).

  Today, the tech said that he couldn’t find anything and wanted to check things in the house. I reiterated to him that his TS person had said there was something outside the network, but he still wanted to check settings on our network. Anne let him in and, as you can imagine, he didn’t find anything wrong inside, either.

  Next step, call 1-800-GeekSquad to get a tech onsite and test the TV and Blu-Ray players. I hope they send Justus. He’s the best they have and we, as usual, want the best!

  Joy and happiness to you and yours,

Don and Anne

Why would you? Why would anybody?

Why would anybody in their right mind go through years of college and years of post-graduate work for a mediocre job with huge responsibilities, little or no respect and to become the object of derision? Teachers are blamed for everything these days and parents aren't held accountable for the kids they send to school!

How long would you work a job were you spend an average of 15% of your income just for supplies you need to do your job on a daily basis? Then, also on a nearly daily basis, you have kids that disrupt the classroom so badly that you can't even DO your job! But, when you try to get something done about the situation you told to "just deal with it." Which, of course, you can't or you wouldn't have gone up the ladder for help with the little urchin.

The sad thing is... the kids know it.

Survey: Teachers Concerned About Resources for Students With Diverse Learning Needs

A large majority of U.S. teachers believe that schools are not doing enough to prepare students with diverse learning needs for success after high school, according to a nationwide survey released today.



Fully 91 percent of the public school teachers interviewed for this year’s annual

MetLife Survey of the American Teacher

said that strengthening programs and resources to help “diverse learners”—defined as students with low-income status, limited fluency in English, or learning disabilities—become college- and career-ready should be a priority in education. More than half of the teachers (59 percent) indicated it should be one of schools’

highest

priorities. None of the other education reform strategies presented in the survey received as great a consensus among teachers.



The survey is the second in a two-part report on

“Preparing Students for College and Careers”

published this year by MetLife Inc. (MetLife Foundation provides grant funding to

Education Week Teacher

, specifically supporting its capacity to engage teachers interactively as a professional community.) The

first part

, published earlier this month, explores views on the urgency and components of preparing students to be college- and career-ready. The second part focuses on differences...

Setback!

  Yesterday Anne slept off-and-on most of the day. Then in the evening she was still so tired that she couldn't stay awake. We noticed that her brieathing was fast & shallow and that her color was palid. So, we made a list of her symptoms to cover at her doctor's appointment today.   When the PA heard about these problems she ordered a CT scan of Anne's chest and they found blod clots in her lungs! She was sent directly back to the hospital to be admitted and the plan, at this time, is for Heperin I.V. and some blood transfusion.   Please ramp up the prayer circles, again, my friends. She needs all the help she can get here!   Thank you, dear ones, Don     ---

Anne's setbacks

 Anne has had problems with her hands ever since the surgery. She has no strength in them and there's numbness in her right hand. This severely limits what she can do for herself. Although she is able to feed herself and move around, mostly with a walker, she cannot dress herself or care for her ostomies.
 When her OT noticed the swelling in her feet she instructed Anne to sleep with her feet above her heart and called the doctor. He asked us to come in and upon examining her ordered the veins and arteries in her limbs checked.
 Tuesday night Anne's sister, "Cheez", arrived and she's been a god-send. She got a "crash course" on Anne's care before bed time and was on her Wednesday. She took care of Anne all day Wednesday while I was at work and Anne tells me that Cheez is a "natural" nurse she did a very good job. The Home Health nurse came by today and went over things in more detail with us.
 Thursday night I couldn't drain her at 2am and had to stop because of Anne's pain. By 6am she was leaking and I was able to successfully drain her, but then had to change her clothes and strip the bed before leaving for work. I encouraged Cheez to take Anne to urgent care to look at a redness I'd spotted inside her upper arm, which turned out to be bruising from the sonogram.
 Friday morning, as I was leaving for work, I noticed that Anne had a stain on the front of her housecoat. I was nearly panicked, but she and Cheez promised that they'd get it checked out.
 Anne called me at work in a panic and said that Cheez couldn't drain her and that she was in pain and going immediately to the doctor's office. I, of course, left to meet them there.
 Doctor Lim and his PA were in surgery and she came down to drain Anne & examine her. The draining went without a problem, but she said that Anne had cellulitis around her urinary stoma. She took a picture of it with her iPhone and sent it upstairs to Dr. Lim, who was still in surgery.
 He responded that we were to keep it clean and dry, but that there was to be no more antibiotics. Probably because she'd been pumped full of them after surgery, but that's just my opinion.
 Today, Anne spent time paying bills and Skyping with her family. All of the siblings were online and Cheez was present in Anne's office for the meeting. Justus, Heather and the boys came by to meet Cheez and hung around while she went to the airport to pick up Dan.
 After Dan arrived the grandsons were delighted with the comparison of their beloved dinner, Mac & Cheese, to their new relatives: Dan & Cheez!
 As dinner was being prepared, Anne was in a lot of pain and laid down for a nap. She preferred to sleep through dinner and awoke later for a sampling together with her pain pill.
 Please continue praying for her wellness and to rid her of this new infection!
 Bless you and thank you for your support,
Don and Anne

Anne: Healing - day 9

  We'd like to take this time to thank those who have brought us meals since Anne has returned home:   Lujean delivered fajitas with the works the Tuesday night that Anne came home. Somehow she knew that I'd be way to busy to fix dinner myself. Then, on another night whe brough over vegetarian chili and cornbread. Julie Nemitz brought yogurt for Anne, who loves it and needs to have something at night with her pain meds. Dolores brought potato cheese soup last Thursday followed by homemade chicken and italian sausage soup. Sue fixed us spaghetti with everything, including fresh grated parmesan cheese. Ammie and Cody homemade chili and cornbread muffins. Sybil eclairs (twice!).  For the last few days Cheez will be fixing meals for Anne and I and they have been delicious. Her husband, Dan, arrives on Saturday and word has it that he's as good or even better in te kitchen that Cheez! I know that I'll be eating like a bear getting ready to hibernate, because after they leave it'll be back to microwave cooking! Hahaha...   Thank you, all, for your love and support. It has truly been a blessing! Don and Anne     PS Please forgive me if I missed you. The past three weeks have been a blur!   ---

A Clever End Run Around the Movie-Streaming Gremlins

Fellow movie fans, we find ourselves in a time of great transition. We have one foot in the world of recorded movies — a time of fantastic selection, but also a time of tapes and discs. Our descendants will laugh their little holographic heads off when they hear about our ridiculous trips driving back and forth to the video store.

Anne: Healing - day 8

  Just a quick note to let you know that we're still alive and well.

  Anne's sister, "Cheez", arrived last night and she's been a god-send. She got a "crash course" on Anne's care last night before bed time and was on her own today. She took care of Anne all day today while I was at work and Anne reports that she did a very good job. She cooks and cleans, too!

  The Home Health nurse came by today and went over things in more detail. Anne tells me that Cheez is a "natural" nurse and did very well. What a relief for me!

  As you may have figured, I've been very busy this past week since Anne came home from the hospital. So busy, in fact, that I haven't been able to write anything. Now that I have help, I'll be writing more.

  But tonight I just ate dinner (a delicious vegetable curry) and relaxed. Then, once things got quiet, I actually took some time to play my guitar (albiet, quietly). Something I haven't done since that day in the hospital with Min. I think my guitar missed me as much as I missed it!
  Tomorrow I'll bring everyone up to date. Until then, don't forget to express your love!
Bless you,
Don

And you thought it was politicians...

Time and again we're finding out that behind the scenes big money is pushing their agenda upon the public. This time it's not the fake "grass roots" movement, but from a small sector of "philanthropists". With this country's education in such dire straights, these funders are like street corner drug dealers. Schools cannot afford to turn down their money and must, in exchange, accept the terms they proffer or go without.

Got Dough? How Billionaires Rule Our Schools

THE COST of K–12 public schooling in the United States comes to well over $500 billion per year. So, how much influence could anyone in the private sector exert by controlling just a few billion dollars of that immense sum? Decisive influence, it turns out. A few billion dollars in private foundation money, strategically invested every year for a decade, has sufficed to define the national debate on education; sustain a crusade for a set of mostly ill-conceived reforms; and determine public policy at the local, state, and national levels. In the domain of venture philanthropy—where donors decide what social transformation they want to engineer and then design and fund projects to implement their vision—investing in education yields great bang for the buck.

Self-pwning cars: the future of automotive rooting



Security researches at UCSD and UWash have been looking at advanced ways of making mischief with computerized automotive systems, from messing with Bluetooth to inserting malware into the diagnostic tools. The most baroque and interesting attack they've demonstrated, though, uses a malformed MP3 that exploits a bug in the sound system (I'm assuming some sort of buffer overflow). Once they're in, the researchers have been able to control the car's locks, speedometer, brakes and engine.

Anne, day 16

 Well, we've made it through the first whole day at home! Yesterday was a wild, wild ride. Running around trying to wrap things up for Anne to come home so that I could be completely focused. All the while picking up supplies that I thought she'd need for the home care (the people at Care Chest are *wonderful*!) and getting more instructions from her via phone. Did I mention that they dropped this bomb on us Monday afternoon? No warning what-so-ever!
 After getting her home and settled in, Lujean kindly brought dinner for us! Thank God, because my brain was in such a frenzy couldn't hardly think about eating and probably would have microwaved something just to fill our stomachs. But, instead, we dined on Mexican fajitas with all the works!
 Shortly afterwards I noticed that either it must be getting early or the clocks are running late. Because we were both bushed and we still needed to figure out the pre-bedtime regimen. After about an hour and a half of work, measuring, changing and cleaning up, we finally crawled into bed exhausted. No sooner had my head hit the pillow that I was sound asleep. Boy was I glad that I didn't need to go to work in the morning!
 Except for a pain pill in the night, we slept uneventfully until morning. After morning pills we went back to sleep until Suzi called. We had a very pleasant conversation about Anne's surgery and recovery. She talked about her sobriety (59 days and counting!) and told us she and her boyfriend are looking at getting a nice little house.
 Then it was time for the morning regimen. More measuring, more changing and more clean-up. Afterwards, a simple breakfast of oatmeal and juice followed by a panicked call to the hospital. I was so ecstatic about bringing Anne home yesterday, and making sure that we had all her things, that I completely forgot about my guitar and harps in the closet! Fortunately, they were still there and I ran down to pick them up.
 As I headed out, I thought I might have time to swing by the bank on the way and get back before the home health nurse showed up at 12:30. As I approached the major cross street (where I'd need to choose straight for the bank or left for the hospital) I noticed cars at the light in two lanes for straight-through and nobody in the left turn lane. Then, as I arrived at the intersection, the light changed and gave a green arrow for nothing.
 So, I took the hint and swung into the left turn lane and headed for the freeway. After picking up my instruments I was on my way out when I ran into Min. She's the one that had been playing guitar for Anne nearly every day and I told her that Anne had gone home.
 As we parted I heard someone call my name from behind me. I turned to find Seanna, my "red-headed, adopted, step-, half-daughter". She was there with a friend who's sun was in for a terrible infection in his eye socket and upper jaw. They were waiting for the decision as to whether or not he'd be needing surgery. I assured her friend that he was in good hands and that we'd say a prayer for him.
 Arriving home I found Anne on the phone with a friend and reminded her that the nurse would be here shortly. Janine showed up as scheduled and was pleasant enough, examining Anne's sutures and stomas. Asking a few questions and then informing us she had forgotten some paperwork she needed signed before she could begin. I told her to take her time and, perhaps, catch lunch as that was what we intended to do.
 I fixed curried lentil soup and taquitos while Janine was gone. Once she returned, and had her paperwork signed, the interview began in earnest. Several times she told Anne that she wouldn't have to ask about some detail or other once she had it and then shortly afterwards asked again. This, of course, really began to annoy Anne and it continued for an hour or so until towards the end she started saying "I won't have to bother you any more." After the third time I stood up and made like it was time to go. Fortunately, she got the hint. Because I think Anne was ready to throw her out.
 Skype with Jane followed by a "surprise" nap. I say that because Anne had intended to call Margie, but was so tired that she didn't even shut down the computer after Jane hung up. She just kind of closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, as if to clear her head. I was sitting across the room, reading and the next thing I know Anne's waking me up! We'd both dozed off and it's now 6:30; she needs a pill & supper.
 So, microwaved leftovers from last night for dinner. Isn't it funny how Italian and Mexican food is just as good, or sometimes better, after it sits overnight? The flavors seem to mingle and enhance each other while in the fridge. It must be some party in there! Hahaha...
 Then, an attempt at some television, which failed miserably, and some hot Chai tea. Oh, how I've missed that! What a welcomed return to our old routine. This made the evening feel almost normal and was most enjoyable!
 Again, with the regimen and tucking her in bed. Then a game of Plants vs Zombies and my email.
 The 2:00 alarm just went off and I gave Anne her pain pill and some yogurt. She eats a little something with these strong ones to prevent stomach upset. But, now that I know I've been bending your ear for hours, I better get to bed myself.
 I pray the lord our souls to keep... sweet dreams, everyone. I hope you're all as happy as I am!
Don and Anne

Anne, day 13

 This past week has been the best! Anne has had visitors nearly every day and culminated with a veritable parade of guests on Saturday. Each and every one brought her such joy! Thank you all. Hopefully, you have watched as the walls of her room slowly disappear under the covering of cards from well-wishers everywhere.
 Lady visited her mom, again, today. We went in this morning and stayed all day. Lady curled up on the foot of the bed and didn't get down unless asked. We even left the door open for a little air circulation and I kept a close eye on Lady lest she make a dash for the hallway. But, this never happened. She was content to just be close to Anne and watched as the staff and curious passers-by gazed in amazement.
 Anne's strength is returning quite fast and she's up walking the halls two or three times a day now. Her favorite CNA is Tes, who is willing to walk with her out of the Oncology ward and even take an extra "lap" if Anne's up to it.
 The pain is fairly well managed, but when she sometimes has "breakthrough" pain where she'll need an extra pill to get it back under control. The good news is that she didn't have any morphine all day today!
 The physical therapist told Anne to stop using the railings to get in and out of bed. "You're not going to have them at home and you need to learn to do without them." This is harder than you think when your entire gut hurts whenever you move. Try it for yourself: put one hand on your abdomen so you can feel your abs when they tighten. Now try to get out of bed without using those muscles. I have to admit, that I ended up on the floor!
 Keep the encouragement for Anne coming. It really lifts her spirit,
Don and Anne

Anne, day 11

  Just a short note to let you know Anne's condition continues to improve. If she keeps this up, I'm hoping that she will get to come home earlier than the three weeks Dr. Lim originally predicted.   She's taking a walk three times a day, now. Her diet is almost normal, they're just watching her fiber intake and not feeding her things that might make her gassy. Also, they are keeping a close watch on mer glycemic index and she gets a shot if that rises above 200.   They've removed her epidural and she is on oral meds for pain management with injections when necessary. For the most part this has been OK, but last night wasn't. Apparently, her nurse last night was a "traveling" nurse. This nurse started out the night by telling Anne that she never works the same place twice!   Now, isn't that a big red flag to you? If I never got invited back EVERY PLACE I WENT, I'd have to ask myself "What's the common denominator here?" But, as I say, this nurse is like a fish in a fishbowl and can't see the situation like others see it. On the bright side, we'll never have to worry about seeing this one again!   Well, keep those prayers coming. They're giving Anne the strength she needs at this time! Don and Anne

“Droid Dream” Malware Latest Sign Android Attacks Are on the Rise

by Ina Fried
Posted on March 3, 2011 at 2:05 PM PT

For a while now, the threat of mobile malware has been shifting from the realm of theoretical to the actual. However, the latest attack, known as “Droid Dream,” managed to take it a step further and resulted in infected apps making their way into Google’s official Android Market.

The attack, which cropped up Tuesday evening, was attached to multiple applications posted to both the Google-run store and various third-party app markets.

Although Google managed to expunge the 50 or so affected apps within minutes of learning of their presence in the store, the fact they made it that far indicates the game is changing. In the latest attack, the malicious code was attached to legitimate applications, but also was collecting identifying data from the phone and sending that information to a remote server.

Experts have warned for a while now that as smartphones gain traction, there will be an increasing number of attacks. Anti-virus firm Symantec says that threats have been increasing significantly in recent months after being quite rare, often limited to more proof-of-concept type exploits.

Not only are today’s smartphones the equivalent of a desktop computer, each one has a connection to not only personal information and the Internet, but also to a carrier billing system–putting would-be attackers one step closer to where the money is.

“For first time in history, a malicious attacker can send a packet of data and money goes flying,” said John Hering, CEO of phone security software maker Lookout Mobile Security. “Think about that.”

Already there have been attacks that cause an infected phone to send a premium text message, generating instant revenue for the attackers. Those attacks, against both Symbian and Android, have been confined largely to Europe and Asia–areas where premium SMS is more common and where carriers are sometimes less vigilant about monitoring traffic, Hering said. An attack in December, centered in China, took a significant amount of data from Android phones and sent it to remote servers.

That the phone has been seen as less vulnerable than the PC is largely an artifact of the fact that the devices have only recently gained powerful operating systems and fast Web connections.

“It’s not like phones are inherently safer than computers,” Hering said. “It’s just been more attractive in the past to attack computers.”

In general, Android malware has been attached to applications–often to legitimate applications–and posted to various third-party stores, rather than to the Google-run Android market. Indeed, sticking to the official stores has been one of two major recommendations from security experts (the other is to pay careful attention to what permissions an app is requesting).

Keeping up to date on a phone’s operating system can also help. Droid Dream, for example, exploited a security flaw that was closed with the Gingerbread release of Android. However, unlike on the PC side, users don’t always get to choose which updates they install, as carriers and device makers often get a say in which apps are provided to customers.

The Android attack is also sure to raise the question of whether an open platform is less secure than a more closed one and also whether it is better to have a curated market or one that is community-managed. Hering said it is not fair to say that Droid Dream suggests Android is more vulnerable, noting that both open and closed systems have their benefits. Open-source code does mean everyone can look at things, but it also gives the community a chance to report flaws before the bad guys do.

Naturally, there is also a market that has emerged for security software that can be installed on a device. Lookout and Symantec both offer phone products, and Hering said that Lookout’s software was updated within hours to protect against infected applications from both official and non-official sources.

Given how quickly Google removed the infected apps, it still makes sense for the cautious to stick to the Android market. However, it is clearly not a failsafe.

The other big recommendation is to not just blindly click OK to all those warnings that pop up when installing an app. On Android and many other platforms, users have to explicitly give an application permission to do certain things, such as access location data or make phone calls.

“If someone is downloading a scientific calculator and it wants to send text messages, it should raise some eyebrows,” said Vikram Thakur, a principal security response manager at Symantec.

Anne, day 9

Today was a very busy day for Anne. She took a walk in the morning with a walker down to the visitors area; went to physical therapy; went to occupational therapy; and went to pet therapy where they had a cute little dog that made her miss Lady. She had a visit from Dr. Lim and his P.A., Liz, who were both very pleased with her progress. She took another walk and sat in a chair for about 1 ½ hours!
 She had a visit from a friend that she met who's had a colostomy, also, and they played "You show me yours and I'll show you mine!" with their ostomies. Her friend assured Anne that lots of people have this operation and lead normal lives afterwards. She echoed Anne's sentiment that this was something that she'd adapt to and move on. Anne says this is just a "bump in the road" and she's right.
 As I told someone earlier, we're just walking life's road hand-in-hand!
Thank you all for being with us on this journey,
Don and Anne


PS
Anne has been moved to soft foods! She had beets, turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy, a soft roll and applesauce for dinner tonight. She really enjoyed every bite of it!
