Meningitis - H. influenzae
Haemophilus influenzae meningitis is a bacterial infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges).
See also:
Alternative Names
H. influenzae meningitis; H. flu meningitis
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
H. influenzae meningitis is caused by Haemophilus influenzae bacteria. These bacteria should not be confused with the disease influenza, an upper respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus.
Before the Hib vaccine became available, H. influenzae was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children under age 5. Since the introduction of the vaccine in the U.S., H. influenzae meningitis occurs in less than 2 in 100,000 children. It still causes 5% - 10% of bacterial meningitis cases in adults.
H. influenzae meningitis may occur after an upper respiratory infection. The infection usually spreads from the respiratory tract to the bloodstream, and then to the meninges. At the meninges, the bacteria produce infection and inflammation, causing serious illness and sometimes death.
Risk factors include:
- Ear infection (otitis media)
- Family member with an H. influenzae infection
- Native American race
- Placement in day care
- Sinus infection (sinusitis)
- Sore throat (pharyngitis)
- Upper respiratory infection
Symptoms usually come on quickly, and may include:
- Fever and chills
- Mental status changes
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
- Severe headache
- Stiff neck (meningismus)
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
- Agitation
- Bulging fontanelles
- Decreased consciousness
- Poor feeding and irritability in children
- Rapid breathing
- Unusual posture, with the head and neck arched backwards (opisthotonos)
Signs and tests
Physical examination will usually show:
- Fast heart rate
- Fever
- Mental status changes
- Stiff neck
For a patient who is suspected of having meningitis, it is important to perform a lumbar puncture ("spinal tap"), in which spinal fluid (known as cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) is collected for testing.
Tests that may be done include:
- Blood culture
- Chest x-ray
- CSF examination for cell count, glucose, and protein
- CT scan of the head
- Gram stain, other special stains, and culture of CSF
Treatment with antibiotics should be started as soon as possible. Ceftriaxone is one of the most commonly used antibiotics.
If the antibiotic is not working and the health care provider suspects antibiotic resistance, chloramphenicol with ampicillin may be used. Sometimes corticosteroids may be used, especially in children.
Unvaccinated people who are in close contact with someone who has H. influenzae meningitis should be given antibiotics to prevent infection. Such people include:
- Household members
- Rommates in dormitories
- Those who come into close contact with an infected person
Expectations (prognosis)
Early treatment improves the outcome. However, 3 - 5% of patients do not survive. Young children and adults over 50 have the highest risk of death.
- Brain damage
- Buildup of fluid between the skull and brain (subdural effusion)
- Hearing loss
- Hydrocephalus
- Seizures
Calling your health care provider
Call the local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suspect meningitis in a young child who has the following symptoms:
- Feeding problems
- High-pitched cry
- Irritability
- Persistent, unexplained fever
Call the local emergency number if you develop any of the serious symptoms listed above. Meningitis can quickly become a life-threatening illness.
To protect infants and young children:
- Hib immunizations for infants and children are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
- Several types of Hib vaccine are available for children ages 2 months and older.
All unvaccinated family members and close contacts (especially in health care or school settings) of people with this type of meningitis should begin antibiotic treatment as soon as possible to prevent spread of the infection. Ask your health care provider about this during the first visit.
Close contacts in the same household, school, or day care center should be watched for early signs of the disease as soon as the first case is diagnosed. If two cases occur in a day care center, preventive antibiotics should be considered. Always use good hygiene habits, such as washing hands before and after changing a diaper, and after using the bathroom.

A creative mind, the ability to draw and a knack with words are what keeps one Hermitage man entertained these days.
Keith Carter calls them his Wordisms, which are more of a guessing game than a card game. Players get a deck and just try to guess what the image is really trying to tell them.
"Yes, it goes right over some people's heads," Carter said.
He puts whimsy with words, creating the guessing game in which hidden images lie deep within his drawings.
"I've got a very creative imagination, and I've had these visualizations like this since I was a child," he said.
The wit comes from a Brit who first came to Nashville for its music scene but kept bloviating fanciful words to his wife.
"On one of those days, after about the 300th time I said one of these to her, she raised her eyebrows and said, 'Keith, why don't you do something about them?' OK, I'm gonna print them," Carter said.
He did, and his creations are now available on Amazon.com and at Barnes and Noble.
His game is often the late night hit at dinner parties.
"They'll say, 'You know what, just one more before I leave.' And then they'll try that one and say, 'OK, just one more before I leave,'" Carter said.

The NFA 2014 Conference will be held in Ottawa, Ontario, from September 12-14, 2014. This will be the first conference to be organized by the NFA as an incorporated entity.
The Program Chair is Gordon Sick.
The NFA Annual General Meeting will take place at the Conference Luncheon on Saturday September 13.
The NFA 2015 Conference venue will be Chateau Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta, from September 18-20, 2015.
The NFA Board has recommended that Vikas Mehrotra be the Program Chair.
As a service to our community, we are providing a page of links to other academic finance conferences in Canada.
The mandate of the NFA is to provide high-quality academic finance conferences for Canadians and their friends and colleagues from abroad. We are pursuing three initiatives to move us in this direction for NFA 2014.
Other disciplines, such as Astronomy, have replaced the Keynote luncheon or dinner speech with an hour-long plenary lecture by a distinguished academic. The plenary lecture is a survey of a discipline that focuses on the key ideas from first principles to current research, and doesn't get sidelined in the details. It will assist academics who don't work in that discipline to understand enough about the field to follow the current research when it is presented at a conference or at their own school's seminars. For academics in the field, it will give them a chance to see and debate the perspective of a noted researcher in the field. We are pleased to have Anil Shivdasani helping us define how well this can work with our First NFA Plenary Lecture.
Different NFAs have taken the PhD student sessions in different directions. Sometimes they are a miniature keynote or plenary lecture, where the PhD students observe passively. For 2014, we will have the students presenting their research for serious and constructive critique. They can also get this from their own supervisory committee, but this NFA session will take them out of that comfort zone and expose them to constructive critique from outside parties. We are fortunate to have Nadia Massoud and Wayne Ferson working with us on this project.
Previous NFAs have often selected papers, formed sessions and then asked authors of the selected papers to be Session Chairs and Discussants for the other papers in the sessions. Thus, many people were required to wear two hats and other well-qualified people were not given the chance to participate. For NFA 2014, the Program Chair, Gordon Sick, will take a variety of steps to minimize the chance of anyone wearing more than one hat on the program.
We are working to get more people involved with the NFA.
To help preserve the quality and share the work, we are always looking for good reviewers. If you would like to become an NFA reviewer, please send an email to the Program Chair indicating your interests, with a copy of your CV or a link to your personal web page. We are automatically carrying forward our list of reviewers from last year.
We find that NFA Reviewers are often good Discussants and Session Chairs.
We sell One-year, Three-year and Five-year NFA memberships. The latter have an annual cost that is twice the annual cost of the first two. The Five-year NFA memberships represent an understanding of the value of the NFA by the member. Accordingly, we regard the Five-year members as fertile ground when we look for Session Chairs and Discussants. Our Membership page is here.
Several universities have sponsored the NFA with $5000 donations because they understand the value that the NFA provides to the profession. For more information, see our Sponsors page. University Gold Sponsors have provided capital to the NFA.
We also invite Annual Sponsors to assist us in underwriting the cost of a meal, or the NFA Conference in general. We acknowledge these sponsorships on our website, in our program, and at the event they sponsor.
We have space for Exhibitors to meet our conference participants and to advertise their products and activities.
For more information on Annual Sponsorships and Exhibition, please contact Mark Kamstra or Ron Giammarino.

Report shows county-wide decrease in crime
The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) released figures last week that showed a significant overall reduction in both violent and property crime in 2006 from that recorded in 2005.
Property crime showed decreases in all categories, led by a 52 percent drop in arson, from 23 in 2005 to 11 in 2006.
Car theft was off 19 percent, down to 162 from 200, larceny down 14 percent from 1083 to 934, and burglary down 10 percent from 702 to 632.
crime was down 13.4 percent overall, led by a 62 percent
drop in robberies, from 16 reported in 2005 down to just
six in 2006.
Murder also showed a decrease from two incidents in 2005 to none in 2006.
Increases were reported in two categories of violent crime, aggravated assault up two percent from 81 to 83 and rape up over 24 percent from 29 in 2005 to 36 in 2006.
"This is just one method of measuring crime trends for specified offenses," said Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo, "as there are a number of factors, one of which is the frequency and consistency with which victims report crime."
When asked about whether the increase in rape is due to more incidents or more of them being reported, Elfo said it depends on a variety of factors.
"When you are dealing with relatively small numbers (29 to 36), any increase is likely to project a significant percentage increase.," he said. "However, we have worked hard to create an environment where victims are more likely to report rape.
That has been an on-going process for several years and I do not know whether we can attribute the increase to this factor."
For more information and a more complete run-down on the numbers go to the WASPC website at www.waspc.org. Click on "press release for 2006 presliminary crime statistics" under the crime statistics menu.

In a few days school will be out and many families are planning a summer vacation that will most likely include outdoor activities. Just like any other season, summertime must be spent with safety and health precautions. Hot and humid temperatures, intense sunlight, poisonous plants and biting insects can ruin your summer vacation with a host of severe skin problems.
Among those annoyances are ticks that can cause Lyme disease, an infection cause by a bacterium often found in deer ticks. Lyme disease has spread rapidly in the United States, infecting people of all ages. The disease is spread to people by a bite of a tick who has fed on infected animals such as deer and wild rodents.
To protect yourself, Dr. Marlene Wolf, Family Practitioner at Broward Health Coral Springs Medical Center, suggests that you wear protective clothing such as light colored, long-sleeved shirts that are tucked into your pants and socks when hiking in wooded areas. Always check for ticks and wash your body immediately after spending time in the woods or tall grass areas. Also, keep a close eye for anything unusual on your skin, especially a rash on concentric rings, like a bulls-eye.
"In Florida, we usually issue warnings about sunburn, heat stroke, water safety, but we also have to pay attention to other areas," said Dr. Wolf. "Everyone should be on guard because ticks are found throughout Florida's grassy areas and woodlands including the Everglades."
If you have any symptoms such as a skin rash that is red circular patch, fever, swollen lymph glands or joint pain, you should consult a doctor. The typical treatment for Lyme disease is antibiotics. If left untreated, about two-thirds of people with Lyme disease develop recurring bouts of arthritis, even sometimes years after the infection.
Broward Health, providing service for more than 50 years, is a nationally recognized system offering world class health care services to our neighbors in South Florida. One of the 10 largest public health systems in the nation, Broward Health includes Broward General Medical Center, North Broward Medical Center, Imperial Point Medical Center, Coral Springs Medical Center, Chris Evert Children's Hospital, Broward Health Weston and more than 30 facilities of the Community Health Services and Broward Health Physician Group.

Newly published, "Hannah's Child: A Theologian's Memoir" chronicles Hauerwas' working-class childhood in Pleasant Grove, Texas; the philosophical debates that led him into the ranks of elite universities; his troubled first marriage to a woman with mental illness; and how he discovered he is a Christian.

Abortion: Wrong or right?
Abortion is an extremely controversial topic, and I believe that women should be able to choose what happens to their own bodies. If abortion was illegal, the maternal death toll due to unsafe abortions would rise dramatically, and overpopulation would become an even more prominent issue. A woman should be able to have a say in a situation involving her body, and those who oppose abortion shouldn't care about a personal decision that doesn't affect them. I can understand that some people look at it as a form of murder. But i can't understand why people continue to pick and choose what is "justifiable" murder, and what is bad murder. Murder is murder. We can send people to war, we can legalize the death penalty, but abortion is STILL wrong? I think that people with different religious and cultural backgrounds have different unique perspectives, so I would love to here opinions. It doesn't matter whether the comments are anti-abortion or not.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 11 2013: Hi Jessica.
I remember when abortion was legalised in the uk. All sorts of checks & balances were supposedly put in place to favour the child. Abortion would only be permitted under the most serious of circumstances. The US is apparently heading for a total of 50 MILLION abortions.
My view is that these are children, & should be treated as such. I am a mere man, but if I could buy a child's life with a year or two of misery, I would gladly do it. If for no other reason than the regret I would have to live with.
It is a bit of a runaway train. In order to stop it we have to admit we have been murdering our children. Not a pleasant prospect. No-one is suggesting that women should risk life & limb to carry a child; the spirit of the original bill can still be implemented, but this wanton destruction of human life must stop.
On the same vein. I would never support a euthanasia bill for the same reason. The bill may be reasonable & alleviate a lot of suffering; but human beings seem incapable of being grateful for the inch, & feel an insatiable need to take the mile.

Metro Animal Services will offer three rabies clinics at the shelter's 3705 Manslick Road location. The mobile medical and adoption unit, S.P.O.T. (Stop Pet Overpopulation Today) will be set up in the parking lot to serve customers who need to get their cat, dog or ferret's rabies vaccinations and license up to date. Microchips will also be available.
Metro Animal Services' medical staff will administer rabies vaccines, implant microchips at discounted prices and issue licenses on a first-come, first-serve basis. The one-year rabies and licensing packages cost $13 for seniors (for up to two altered pets), $17.50 for owners of altered pets and $58.50 for residents with unaltered pets. Proof of spay/neuter must be provided by owners registering their animals for the first time to receive a discount on their licenses. Typically, a rabies vaccination and office visit run more than $20 without a license.
"While we take S.P.O.T. out in the community for rabies and license clinics we also receive a lot of calls requesting this kind of service here at the shelter, so we thought we'd give it a try," said Dr. Gilles Meloche, director of Louisville Metro Animal Services. "Keeping your pet vaccinated for rabies and licensed is a basic responsibility of being a pet owner."
Pets that are licensed are more likely to be returned to their owners if they are lost. If cats or dogs are brought to Louisville Metro Animal Services, they are processed quickly and owners are located more efficiently if an animal is properly licensed.

10 things your auto insurer won't say
There's a lot to consider when insuring a car -- rates, teen drivers, what happens if you have an accident. Is your insurer looking out for you?
1. "When I say this is a good policy, I mean it's good for me."
Although agents can help you navigate auto policies, some may not have your best interests at heart. Often, large auto and home insurers use "contingent" commissions to compensate agents who sold their policies. These fees come in two types: "steering" commissions, for signing customers with a particular carrier, and profit-based commissions, when clients don't file a lot of costly claims. The concern with the former is that unscrupulous agents push certain policies to reap larger commissions; with the latter, they might delay or discourage claims.
How can you protect yourself? Ask about commissions, and have prospective agents explain their recommendations.
2. "Young drivers can't catch a break."
Statistics show that drivers under age 25, especially males, are in a high-risk group and have difficulty getting insured. But the specifics are startling: Drivers in New York under age 19 pay a median auto insurance rate that is more than 100% higher than drivers ages 60 to 74, according to a 2009 survey published on InsuranceRates.com.
It typically takes three years of driving experience to be quoted a lower rate, according to AllInsuranceInfo.org. But there are other ways to ensure a better rate in the short term. For example, avoid sports cars and opt for a car with a lower engine capacity.
Also, ask your insurer for ways to score a lower premium.
According to information posted on AllInsuranceInfo.org, some insurers will give a lower rate to young drivers who complete defensive-driving courses.
3. "Spotty credit? That'll cost you."
Since the 1990s, insurers have discovered a strong correlation between low credit scores and lots of claims. Today, more than 90% of insurers use credit histories in their underwriting, according to the Insurance Information Institute in New York. Although consumer advocates say that unfairly penalizes the poor, it can also bite the middle class, says Birny Birnbaum, the executive director at the Center for Economic Justice. After all, "87% of families in bankruptcy are there because of a job loss, medical catastrophe or divorce," he says.
Because many insurers do factor in credit histories, it's important to get a credit report from each of the three major bureaus -- TransUnion, Experian and Equifax -- and check them for errors before you shop for insurance. (Free reports are available once a year from AnnualCreditReport.com.)
4. "How do we set premiums? That's for us to know and you to find out."
As insurers continue to adopt complex pricing systems, not everyone is seeing savings. Why the disparity? For starters, premiums vary widely by state. According to a 2007 study from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the average yearlong policy in 2005 cost $949, ranging from a low of $664 in Iowa to a high of $1,343 in the District of Columbia.
What has muddied the waters even further are the formulas used to set premiums for individuals. Twenty years ago, most insurers sorted customers into four or five pricing tiers, based on where they lived, their ages and their driving records. Over the past decade, hundreds of variables have been added to the mix, including credit histories, homeownership and limits on past policies. Because each insurer interprets these variables differently, it's even tougher for consumers to get a handle on the system.
5. "Your repaired car might look and run like new, but it's worth a lot less."
As many policyholders know, when the other party's insurer is paying for repairs after an accident, you have the right to opt for original manufacturer parts instead of generic after-market ones. But even with the best parts and service in the world, a fully repaired vehicle will often be worth less as a used car or trade-in than an identical car without the accident history.
The bodyman perspective. I've been in this business 25 years now and let me tell you, the insurance industry is ruining this business. Insurance companies used to invest premiums in the stock market, that was where they made their money. When that went south, they focused on the body shops and parts. They started squeezing and have never let up. They turned to aftermarket parts and used parts. They found ways to pay less for parts that had to be changed. Just last month I changed a quarter panel on an accord for liberty mutual, the very next week I changed a quarter panel on the same type of accord for allstate. What was the difference? Allstate paid $150 less for the same repair. We see this all the time, less pay for the same work. My biggest loss of productivity is with aftermarket parts. I get paid the same as I would to use a factory part, but can spend up to an extra hour trying to make just one of these parts fit. In the course of a year I lose over a 100 hours of productivity, am I compensated? HELL NO! On the flip side insurance companies are making many, many millions of dollars of extra profit using these parts. What is wrong with this picture?
This was a good business when I got into it in 1986. The complexity of repairing cars has increased five-fold with all the new technology but the wages have gone backwards. Labor rates have gone up, but at the end of the day I'm making what I used to make in 1995. This has been the case for five years now. Do you think anyone in the insurance industry is making the money they made 16 years ago? WE DO THE ACTUAL WORK, THEY KEEP THE MONEY. Just look at how their profits have gone up in the last 20 years.
As for the insurance company preferred shops, Progressive and Allstate are the worst abusers. They do not have your best interest in mind, only their profits. State Farm does not use aftermarket parts and are one of the best. Liberty Mutual is also a good company.
I cannot count the number of times insurance company employees have had their personal cars fixed for free at shops I have worked. The system is broken and something has got to give. No one is getting into this business anymore and can you blame them. Some insurance companies were looking into training convicts to repair cars, do we really want to go there? Would you trust your families safety to someone who wasn't smart enough to stay out of jail? All it takes is to leave a bolt loose on a suspension or steering part or to leave a compromised part on a car. Even tight bolts can work there way loose if not torqued properly.
This is skilled labor and if a car is hit hard it gets VERY technical.
There needs to be limits on their profits. I've heard Allstate gives bonuses at the end of the year based on their profits. So the more the insurance adjuster shortchanges me, the bigger the bonus he gets. Again, what is wrong with this picture?
The consumer has a duty to shop around. Just be careful of what you are buying. Sometimes buying cheap gets you exactly what you paid for come time for a claim. Direct buying insurance online may give you a lower premium but who are you going to have answer your questions. When buying insurance from an agent you are also buying his knowledge and service. As a consumer there is also a duty to check out your insurance representative to make sure he is working for you and not just for himself. Talk to your friends and neighbors, get recommendations. Reputaion does matter. Treat it the same as when you shop for that new car, appliance, repairman for home, or any other service that you are paying for. This article gives some good tips but it also makes it look like all insurance is out to screw you. NOT TRUE and if a person is that paronoid there is always the option of being self insured that is if you think you can afford it.
I agree with many of the previous posters. You can get cheap insurance anywhere online or over the phone to a faceless entity. But if you want coverage that fits your needs, and you need to make sure your claim is covered, then you go to a good agent. It's totally out of order to title this article, "Things your Auto Insurer will not say". Most insurance agents take pride in their work. I work for an agent and we make sure we get to know our customers, and make sure the insurance policy is one that they need. Our customers appreciate the fact that we go over their policies every year with them - taking into consideration any life changes. And yes, we talk about the higher rates for youthful operators. We are honest and straightforward, and it stinks that you set us back like this for the sake of putting out a "sensational" article. Shame on you.
Let's cut to the chase and dump the bull shall we. In our new age American way of doing things all contracts are conveyed by attorneys. Why? To look out for their clients own self best interest. In short, a contract in today's American business world is a road map as to how at the time it is issued one or more signatories can circumvent, escape the theoretical application of its binding value. How do I know? Several years ago a major storm dropped a massive 150 plus yr old tree on our home. 17 yrs of never a claim with American (screw the) Family Insurance we contacted our agent. Never mind we had their "BEST?" super Blue policy cover everything because all they ever paid for was the removal of the tree off the house. Our legal case was headed by our then MN State Attorney General against American (screw the) Family Insurance. In 3 separate trials we prevailed. Yep we won! Big F'en whoop. American (screw the) Family Insurance filed yet another appeal changing the tenets of their argued position. The then atty. Gen. lost being re-elected and the new atty. Gen. dropped the case leaving us out in the cold. Long and the short, American (screw the) Family Insurance cost us 17 yrs. of policy payments and when we needed them to step forward they flipped us the finger adding 45 grand that we paid in repairs to our expensive insurance education. All true and a matter of public record here in MN. As a small consolation but truly heart-warming none the less was our agent through all those years was so distraught over the events she terminated her agency with American (screw the) Family Insurance and took up residence with another major co. Just remember, the agent is more than likely not an attorney, they are more often than not trained by one or more insurance companies on the "PLUS" points contained within the policy as sales tools and not the shortfalls. Always look at it this way, an insurance company doesn't make money on what they pay out, they make money on what they cause "YOU" to pay in.
I was with the same insurance company since I got my first car as a teenager, (over 20 years ago). My parents used them for over 30 years. Know what I got when I had my first accident? HALF, yes, that's right, HALF of my cars value, (I took the averages from several websites, Kelly Blue Book, Edmunds, and NADA.) I had to DOUBLE what they gave me to REPLACE my car. I had asked on three separate occasions if my car had enough coverage and if it was covered for REPLACEMENT COST (MY replacement cost, what it would take me to get the same vehicle back if it was totaled), all three times the slime ball said YES, then took my money. (I had even inquired about some type of collector car coverage or anything like that and he told me that I was fine and that I didn't need it.) After the accident he told me that he was sorry but he didn't have anything to do with that part of the claim, and I had to call some claims adjuster. She just said the car is totaled, WOULD NOT give me an amount, WOULD NOT tell me how much actual damage my vehicle had sustained, nor tell me WHERE MY CAR WAS towed to, (just that it was in one of their "secured lots"). After many, many, many calls, she finally gave me an amount, and told me if I didn't like it to sue them. (I bought the car back for salvage value because I made more off of the parts/new tires, etc. than she sent me a check for.)
ANYBODY that tries to sell you the SAME coverage for MORE money and INSISTS that you shouldn't be informed and/or shop around is a crook. LOYALTY means nothing any more.
Needless to say, I shop around for the cheapest (same/better coverage, and yes, I actually read my contracts) insurance now, and it's all been better coverage than those jokers ever gave me.
And as a side point, I already knew about most of this stuff in this article anyway.
I'm almost always offered fine insurance on appliances I buy, but they're usually 1/6th the price of the vacuum cleaner, TV, etc. and don't even kick-in until after the 1-2 year standard warranty. Since most of such items either break down early due to defects or last a long time for me, I pass on such warranties - it's cheaper to replace the odd one that fails with the cash I save by not getting insurance.
All that doesn't mean the insurance isn't good - it's fine. But the cost is not good!

Lord of the Rings Online Going Free-to-PlayLord of the Rings Online publisher Warner Bros. has revealed that Turbine's Tolkien-inspired MMORPG will go free-to-play this fall, supported by microtransactions.
"Expansions, quest packs, items, and account services" are among the goodies players will be able to purchase with points either earned in-game or bought with cash money.
'VIP' subscriptions with access to all premium content will also be available at a yet-unspecified price, similar to the model Turbine's Dungeons & Dragons Online MMORPG adopted when it went free-to-play in September 2009 with 'VIP' status costing $15 per month. Turbine reported a 40% rise in subscriptions following the switch.
"The popularity of DDO validated the extraordinary demand by gamers for quality entertainment they can experience at their own pace and within their budget," said Turbine CEO Jim Crowley in the announcement. Extending free-to-play to LOTRO will offer another premium game to a broad spectrum of fans."
If you're interested, you can sign up for a closed beta test due to begin on June 16.

What were you favourite bands when you were a kid or a teenager? What do you think that says about you and your community?
The TEDsters were born in different eras, different places all over the world.
What music you chose, why you do it and what that expresses says a lot about the person, the times, the moral paradigm and political landscape.
Music has always been an integral part of my life. I've been a goth, an emo, a rock-girl, a punk and more, both listening and making music, depending on the period. Some bands that have influenced me are still a good reference, some of them are just a sentimental insight.
Back to the question - what music did you chose when you were young and what do you think it says about the times, the community you grew up in and you yourself, as a person?
In other words - some like Iron Maiden, some like U2, some like other bands, some like everything, some do not. Why do you think that is?

Aug 8 2013: I may of misused the term but what I meant by technical metal is metal that goes through several key and timing changes in songs.
Fitting in was important to me back then and the different music I was exposed to has actually, I feel, increased my ability.
I had a lot of fun playing with a classic rock, country, top 200 cover band about 2 and a half to 9 months ago. A good friend asked me to try out.
I like a slew of black metal bands from your country. One of the hardest songs I've ever learned is Dissection's Nights Blood.

Gardasil: Do the Risks Outweigh the Benefits?
Over 24 million doses have been distributed in the U.S. But how safe is it? Momlogic investigates.
We've all seen the "One Less" commercials promoting Gardasil, the cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of human papillomavirus (HPV). This three-dose vaccine, which was introduced in 2006, is for girls age 9 to 26. Over 24 million doses have been distributed in the U.S.
The momlogic office has been flooded with letters and e-mails from mothers grappling over whether to vaccinate their tweens and teens or not. Some wonder if their kids even need it, since they're not sexually active. ("Will giving my daughter these shots be like giving her a license to have sex?") Others are concerned about the side effects. As of May 1, 2009, more than 24 million doses of Gardasil have been distributed in the United States. There have been 13,758 Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports following vaccination. Ninety-three percent were reports of events considered to be non-serious, like fainting, headache, or fever. But seven percent were considered to be serious -- such as hospitalization, or even death. Yes, death. Thirty-nine women have died after getting the Gardasil vaccine, according to the CDC. To date, none of these deaths has been officially linked directly to the vaccine.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare disorder that causes muscle weakness, has been reported to have occurred after vaccination with Gardasil. Barbara Mellers' 15-year-old daughter, Jenny, passed away in March 2009 from what doctors suspect was autoimmune in causation. She started developing muscle weakness shortly after getting her third Gardasil shot in March 2007. "In May 2007, Jenny came home from school one day having tripped over a hurdle in P.E. class. It was 1 and a half feet high. All the other kids cleared it easily," Barbara recalls. By December, Jenny had to use a walker at school, and her muscle weakness was getting progressively worse. No one knew what was wrong with her, and she was sent to countless specialists. By summer 2008, Jenny was a quadriplegic who could breathe only with machine support. "We had wonderful friends helping us look for other children who were similar to Jenny," Barbara says. "We set up a website. We reached out to doctors all over the world to find treatments, experimental drugs, and medications. We tried so many things. Sometimes we thought she was getting better. Maybe the disease was slowing down or even reversing. Then she'd get a little worse, and we knew we were wrong." Despite everyone's Herculean efforts, Jenny died in pediatric ICU on March 15th, 2009. To read more of Jenny's story, click here.
Was Gardasil to blame for Jenny's death? That has yet to be determined. Her family hesitates to declare that Gardasil was the cause of her death, but some prominent medical scientists at leading universities see the connection as possible and even plausible. Jenny's parents, both college professors, would like to persuade the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to investigate how many Jennys are out there.
Is Gardasil safe for YOUR daughter? We asked two well-respected OB/GYNs, Dr. Hilda Hutcherson and Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, to weigh in on this serious issue.
ML: Is Gardasil a must for all teen girls, even if they are not sexually active?
Dr. Hilda: Many people tie this vaccine to sexual activity, but we need to separate it from sexual activity and look at it as cancer prevention. When you look at it as cancer prevention, it's a lot easier to embrace it. I tell moms that you are giving something to your daughter that could potentially save her life in the future.
Dr. Suzanne: I try to explain to moms, in plain English, what HPV is and why it poses problems -- i.e., what the virus is, what the subtypes are, and which are the "bad players." I tell them that Gardasil may reduce the risk of transmission of four specific subtypes of the virus that can cause genital warts and that can cause dysplasia, or potentially pre-cancerous changes of the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer if left untreated in some, not all, women.
Moms should ask themselves: Are they getting their daughters vaccinated with a clear understanding of what the vaccination can and cannot do, or are they doing it out of panic, fear, or guilt?
With all due respect, no one ever knows for sure what another is really up to, and even the best mother-daughter relationships might harbor some secrets. Furthermore, assuming that the non-sexual teen will reliably remain in that state is just an accident waiting to happen. I say give your daughters (and sons!) all the best info and resources, and guide them to trusted grown-ups (counselors, doctors, etc.) ahead of time, if at all possible, so that they do have someone who is not you to talk to just in case. My teen patients who are given these opportunities may feel embarrassed initially (the "mooo-om" syndrome), but also appreciate the respect that their parents are giving them to make decisions safely and wisely.
ML: Many mothers who write to us with hesitancy about the vaccine fear they are hurting their daughters by NOT allowing her the vaccine. Are they?
Dr. Hilda: I don't believe in making mothers feel guilty. I just try to provide the information. I say, "These are the facts we have right now. You use the information given to you and make the best decision based upon this." You as a mom have to make the right decision for your child.
Dr. Suzanne: It is true that rates of STDs among teens are on the rise. According to a 2006 Kaiser Family Foundation report, 25% of 15- to 19-year-olds and nearly 50% of American teens have had chlamydia, trichomoniasis, or HPV, with HPV being most common. 35% of 13- to 19-year-olds are HPV-positive. But it is also true that 80-90% of those infected, even with the highest-risk HPV strains, will clear the infection on their own within two years. In the end, it is a crap shoot!
ML: What about uninsured girls whose parents can't afford the pricey protection?
Dr. Hilda: The people who need it the most aren't getting it. It's an access issue. They don't have access to something that could be life-saving, because they can't afford it. I feel it's something we should provide for women who can't afford it. Children age 18 and younger may be eligible to get vaccines, including the HPV vaccine, for free through the Vaccines for Children program.
Dr. Suzanne: I believe that leveling the field was one of the aims of the bills that some states proposed to require vaccinations for school entry, similar to other more common vaccinations such as measles, hepatitis B, etc. It's also important to note here that 85% of diagnoses and deaths due to cervical cancer occur in developing nations. Clearly, poverty and lack of health care play a big role in this disease and need attention. We should be getting this vaccination to the poor women of the world regardless of their country or residence.
ML: It's a brand-new drug -- why are we lining up our daughters to get these injections without more thought?
Dr. Hilda: The FDA doesn't let anything get through unless it was adequately tested, and I think this vaccine was properly tested. I feel comfortable recommending this vaccine to my family members. There's nothing on this planet that doesn't have risks, but you have to weigh the benefits and the risks.
When you measure the few women who possibly had a bad outcome (that we can't yet directly link to the vaccine) and the thousands of women whose lives can be saved, I come out on the side of the benefits outweighing the risks.
Dr. Suzanne: Why are we lining up our daughters to get these injections? Because as moms, we want to do the right thing, and we got the message loud and clear that this was the right thing.
ML: How do we know the long-term side effects when the drug was so quickly approved and administered in waves?
Dr. Hilda: There are reported short-term side effects and reactions like fainting, but I haven't seen that in my office. In terms of the long-term side effects, the FDA has approved this and deemed it safe. I don't think it was "quickly" approved because they don't "quickly" approve anything! Gardasil was thoroughly tested before it came on the market. And if it protects you from cervical cancer and can potentially save your life, that beneficial effect cannot be disputed and in my opinion, outweighs the risks.
Dr. Suzanne: The FDA approval process involved more than 4,000 vaccinations over 4 years, and this government body felt that this was adequate to bring the product to market. Understanding that there had been no way, prior to this point in time, to prevent the disease -- and the public health and personal impacts of not only cervical cancer, but frequent pap smears, colposcopies, cervical biopsies, the physical and psychological pain, shame, and blame -- is really critical in adding context to the decision to develop the vaccination and bring it to market rapidly. There has been long-term frustration in this area for patients, researchers, and practitioners.
A handful of my patients developed side effects. One developed mysterious neurological symptoms that we cannot diagnose. There is no way to know if this is a coincidence or not, but more than one study, including a 2007 study looking at 270,000 doses administered in Australia, has revealed a five- to ten-fold increase in "reactions" to this vaccination over other common vaccinations. The absolute numbers are quite low -- 7 incidents in 270,000 -- but statistically significant.
ML: What about the reported deaths?
Dr. Hilda: These cannot be directly tied to this vaccine. Millions have received the vaccine, and 39 young people tragically died at some point after receiving the vaccine. Those deaths have not been tied directly to the vaccine at this point. I feel for the families, and no young person should have to die, but this vaccine will save thousands of lives per year.
Dr. Suzanne: It has been very hard to link the reported incidents, reactions, and deaths to the vaccination, partly because there is no obvious pattern and the absolute numbers are low. But for most mothers, they are obviously a cause for concern.
ML: Would you allow your daughter to get the Gardasil vaccine?
Dr. Hilda: Yes.
Dr. Suzanne. She is only 8. The jury is out.
How do you determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks for your daughter? Both doctors agree that this isn't a decision that should be taken lightly. Download momlogic's Should Your Daughter Get the Gardasil Vaccine? Questions Every Mother Should Ask printable guide for more guidance.
Is the Gardasil vaccine safe for your daughter? Momlogic's OB/GYN Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz went on NBC's "Today" show this morning to shed more light on the subject.
Would you allow (or have you allowed) your daughter to get the Gardasil vaccine? Why or why not?
|Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz completed her undergraduate education at Wesleyan University and post-baccalaureate pre-med studies at Mills College. She earned her medical degree from the USC School of Medicine and has been in private practice for 9 years. She is the co-founder of Cedar Sinai Medical Center's Green Committee and lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.
|Dr. Hilda Hutcherson is a clinical professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Columbia University. She has written three books, including "Pleasure: A Woman's Guide to Getting the Sex You Want, Need and Deserve." She lives in Pelham, New York with her husband and four children.
This domain appears to get a large ammount of visitors. How do you promote it? It gives a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something real or substantial to post about is the most important factor.
I've to admit that i generally get bored to learn the entire thing however i feel you can add some value. Bravo !

Maxim Lapierre has been offered an in-person disciplinary hearing with the NHL after his hit from behind on San Jose Sharks defenceman Dan Boyle.
The offering of an in-person meeting means that Lapierre could be suspended for five games or longer as per the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The St. Louis Blues forward caught Boyle from behind along the boards early in the Sharks' 6-2 win over St. Louis. Boyle was taken off on a stretcher and Lapierre was ejected from the game.
Lapierre was also suspended four games in 2010 for boarding while with the Montreal Canadiens. That play also occurred in a game against the Sharks.

All TDOT and other state agency vehicles may obtain unleaded gasoline, number 2 (low sulfur) diesel, and quarts of motor oil from Fuelman locations under the statewide privatization contract with Fuelman of Tennessee. Other products, oil changes, and maintenance activities can be obtained at regional and district TDOT garage locations, and any Fuelman location, in-state or out-of-state, that have these products and/or activities available. Preferably all T.D.O.T personnel will make use of the T.D.O.T. facilities.
- Verify that the location is a Fuelman location. A black and silver Fuelman sign should be on the door or window of the location . If still not sure, ask the attendant before fueling the vehicle.
- Fuel vehicle first. For TDOT vehicles requiring gasoline, use only regular unleaded gas, unless the vehicle has been approved for higher octane fuel. If a quart of oil is needed, show attendant the oil before sliding the Fuelman cards through the card reader. Unless, the location has gone to card-activated pumps, the Fuelman card reader will be located inside the store.
- Slide the orange and white employee card through the card reader.
- Key in the 3 digit PIN number and press the enter key.
- Slide the silver vehicle card through the card reader in the same manner as the employee card.
- Key in the current odometer reading of the vehicle and press the enter key. DO NOT KEY IN TENTHS!
- Wait for attendant to give you a receipt. Verify the quantity and product purchased (product code for regular unleaded gas is 2, product code for diesel fuel is 5) on the receipt are correct before leaving the location. Notify the attendant immediately should there be a discrepancy!
NOTE: Should the regular unleaded pump be down, or the location is out of regular unleaded gasoline, the employee should use the next higher octane gasoline available. Denote on the receipt for using the higher octane fuel and keep the receipt. If problems occur with the Fuelman transactions, the locations should contact the 24 –Hour Fuelman Helpdesk at 1.800.966.9013.
Fuelman has automated the following TDOT locations: Knoxville, Johnson City, Morristown, Newport, Lafollette, Harriman, Chattanooga, Ducktown, Gainesboro, Crossville, Cookeville, Nashville, Erin, Lawrenceburg, Lewisburg, McEwen, Clarksville, Gallatin, Jackson, Arlington, McKenzie, Bethel Springs, and Newbern. Regular unleaded gasoline and number 2 diesel (low sulfur) are available at these locations. The pumps are card activated, but no receipt will be generated. Quarts of motor oil are still issued by the garage storekeeper.
- Fully insert and remove orange and white employee card from the Fuelman card reader
- Key in pump number and press the enter key
- Key in 3 digit PIN number and press enter key
- Fully insert and remove the silver vehicle card from the Fuelman card reader
- Key in the current vehicle odometer reading and press enter key. DO NOT KEY IN TENTHS!
