stride pianist, James P. Johnson, Three Rags for String Quartet is based on some of Novacek’s arlier piano pieces, but trans formed and expanded. When creating this piece, Novacek had the Ying Quartet in mind. He said, “(they are) so full of positive energy and musical inventiveness.” The final performance of the evening will be Beethoven’s be Beethoven’s Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 130, “Liebquartett” with Grosse Fuge. The Ying Quartet is Ayano Ninomiya (violin), Janet Ying, (violin), Phillip Ying (viola), and David Ying (cello). They occupy a position of unique prominence in the classical music world, combining brilliantly communicative performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music. Now in its second decade, the Quartet has established itself as an ensemble of the highest musical qualifications in its tours across the United States and abroad. The group performs regularly in many of the world’s most important concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. The Ying Quartet’s constant quest to explore the creative possibilities of the string quartet has led it to an unusually diverse array of musical projects and interests. At the same time, the Quartet’s belief that concert music can be meaningful part of everyday life has drawn the foursome to perform in settings as diverse s work places, schools, juvenile prisons, and the White House. As artists in residence at the Eastman School of Music, the Ying Quartet teaches in the tring department and leads a rigorous, sequentially designed chamber music program. ne cornerstone of chamber music activity at Eastman is the noted Music for All program, n which all students have the opportunity to perform in community settings beyond the concert hall. From 2001-2008, the Ying Quartet has also been the Blodgett Artists-in-Residence atBeginning Harvard University. with the 2010-2011 season, brilliant violinist Ayano Ninomiya joined Ying Quartet as first violin. The founders of the quartet are siblings Timothy, Janet, Phillip and David Ying. The Ying Quartet first came to professional prominence in the early 1990s during their years as resident quartet of Jesup, Iowa, a farm town of 2000 people. Playing before audiences of six to six hundred in homes, schools, churches, and banks, the Quartet had its first opportunities to enable music and creative endeavor to become an integral part of

Another 79 million Americans are at at risk for developing diabetes. diabetes. Odds are, diabetes impacts your life or someone close to you. The good news: with the rightknowledge and support, people with diabetes can feel good and live strong, healthy lives. David Edelman, founder and president of DiabetesDaily.com – an online community for people with diabetes – receives
O
4. Meal Planning Tools: Want the “Approved Foods List” for people with diabetes? You are out of luck: it does no exist! People with diabetes must watch how many total car bohydrates they eat, not ban specific foods. Even high carb items can be enjoyed in smaller quantities. But to get the maximum health and enjoyment out of your diet, it helps to discover new lower carbohydrate meals or variations on your favorites. The American Diabetes Associa tion has excellent recipes on its website, and DiabetesDaily.com
queries daily from withresources diabetes and their family memmembers searching forpeople the best to help them make decisions. “We get this same short, frustrated email nearly every day: I was just diagnosed with diabetes. What should I do?” said Edelman. “Every time we respond, I think to myself this question is so big it deserves a better answer.” Edelman has identified the top seven most useful resources to arm people with diabetes – and those who support them – with the knowledge they need. 1. Personal Support Network: It is critical to build a strong network of family, friends, and other people living with diabetes. Diabetes is an emotional marathon and the support and understanding from those that care help you move forward with your head up. Whether you communicate through email or meet in person, stay connected with your network, share your struggles and triumphs. Know someone with diabetes? Be an essential support tool for him or her. 2. The Diabetes Online Community: People with diabetes have built an international support network through blogs, online support communities like DiabetesDaily.com, DiabetesDaily.com, diabetes social networking sites like TuDiabetes, and through traditional social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. These online resources offer the chance to connect emotionally and seek advice and information from others living with diabetes- from the newly diagnosed to those who have been managing the disease for decades. There are multiple ways to connect, from skimming message boards to leaving comments for or emailing bloggers to joining a community. You can even start your own blog. Whether you or someone you love has diabetes, these online tools grant instant access to thousands of lifetimes worth of wisdom. 3. Formal Diabetes Education: A diabetes educator can help you understand why blood sugars change and what you can do to manage those changes. Patients with Medicare can access 10 free hours of diabetes education per year (the average patients uses less than three). Most private plans cover education as well. Your doctor or local diabetes association can help connect you with a good educator. However, the unfortunate reality is there is just one diabetes educator for every 2,630 people with diabetes. diabetes. To maintain maintain and enhance education between visits with your educator, consider attending local support groups or workshops (often hosted by hospitals or health networks). For diabetes patients and family and friends trying to better understand its impact, books can help you better understand diabetes, like “50 Diabetes Myths That Can Ruin Your Life and the 50 Diabetes Truths That Can Save It” by Riva Greenberg. Greenber g. Or consider an online education education course like “Workshop for Better Blood Sugars” from Diabetes Daily University (http://university.diabetesdaily.com), which allows you to learn at your own pace and connect with others in a virtual classroom. Make sure that educational courses are taught by a credentialed and nationally recognized physician or educator.
has an entire section of original recipes from culinary guru Elizabeth Edelman. You can track the carbohydrates in your food using tools like CalorieKing, which provides software with a detailed food database as well as the popular Calorie Fat & Carbo hydrate Counter book to accurately track carbs and calories. 5. The Meter: Blood glucose meters are the key to dis covering how to live a healthy life with diabetes. Want to know if your breakfast is okay to eat? Check your blood sug ars, eat breakfast, and check it again two hours later. If you are back about where you started, then this meal works for you. If not, then consult with your doctor or educator abou adjusting medication or the content of that meal. Most peo ple find that little tweaks have a big impact on their health and how they feel. Having a better understanding of how certain foods or activities impact your blood sugar makes i simpler to adjust when you choose to vary your routine. And this is all informatio n you can get right from your meter For friends and family members, learn how to interpre blood sugar readings and the impact certain foods have on your friend or family member so you can better suppor individual choices choices – like having ice cream for dessert. Often concern can come across as judgment when well-wishers are uninformed. 6. Exercise Specialists/Instructors: A good fitness instruc tor can provide information and exercises not only to help control weight, but also that specifically benefits diabetes management. For example, Diabetes Daily co-founder and certified yoga instructor Elizabeth Edelman recommends certain yoga poses to stimulate the pancreas, liver and kid neys. Try taking a class or enlisting a buddy for group group support. 7. Yourself: Edelman believes the key to successful dia betes management is taking ownership of diabetes. You spend less than one percent of your year at the doctor’s office. The rest of the time you are on your own. So take the time to examine choices, actions and emotions objectively, withou assigning guilt or blame. Understand what is working for you and what is not. And if you do not understand something, do not leave your doctor’s office until you do. It is your life, and it is worth fighting for. About Diabetes Daily Founded by David and Elizabeth Edelman, Diabetes Dail is an online support network that helps people affected b diabetes live a better life. The online support network fea fea tures one of the largest diabetes forums, as well as original

Baby Boomers are Making a List of Resolutions and Checking It Twice Senior Helpers’ “Top Ten Caregiving Resolutions” of 2012
O
ne in three people will be making a New Year’s resolution during that sixty second descent of the crystal ball in Times Square. In fact, studies show that those who make resolutions are ten times more likely to successfully change their behavior. This year, Senior Helpers, one of the largest in-home care agencies in the nation, is asking all caregivers to make a New Year’s Resolution list and check it twice! “Once that countdown is over, 10,000 people will officially hit senior status each day of the New Year,” Year,” says Darlene Murphy of Senior Helpers of Chestnut Hill. “That means many adult children will suddenly find themselves taking on a new role as caregiver for their aging parent/s. We’re encouraging encouraging all caregivers, families, and professionals to take take a moment of reflection for the New Year and write down their ‘top ten caregiving resolutions.’ Something as simple as writing down their goals for the New Year really can help them
cope emotionally through this challenging stage in their lives.” Research reveals that the readiness to change is the single most predictor when it comes to whether your New Year’s Year’s resolutions will be successful. Family caregiving has become so main stream that many Baby Boomers are working an average of more than 20 hours/ week, OUTSIDE of their normal 40 hour work work week. The individual feeling most of this stress is often the middle-aged, eldest daughter, daughter, who is also working. If you’re feeling the stresses of caregiving, here are some resolutions Senior Helpers recommends. Senior Helpers’ Top 10 Caregiving Resolutions: 1. I am doing my best – no one is perfect – and I won’t allow myself to drown in guilt. 2. Receiving advice from others only makes me stronger, not weaker. It’s okay to ask friends and family, or agencies like Senior Helpers, for guidance. 3. I promise to take care of myself and my health, and to not cancel doctor appointments. 4. I promise promise to make time for myself, alone. And, I won’t hesitate to ask for help to achieve that or feel guilty about it. 5. I will say “no” to requests when I feel my schedule is too full for one more thing. 6. I will always keep in mind that the senior I care for did not choose their illness or disability. 7. I will reach out for help if I feel caregiver burnout or signs of depression. 8. I will make time for my own family members—they’re important too. 9. I will remind myself that the healthier and happier I am as an individual, the better caregiver I will be. 10. Ifbelieve I’m having day, important I will slow resolutions down, back listed up, and try again. “We oneaoftough the most above is for caregivers to not be afraid to reach out for help,” says Darlene Murphy. “Six months into the New Year, only 46% of people are still making good on their promises. Senior Helpers can help you keep your caregiving resolutions. resolutions. In-home care isn’t just for full time senior clients... we’re also here to help give caregivers a break, even if it’s just for two hours at a time.” For information, visit www.seniorhelpers.com. www.seniorhelpers.com.
