The final version of the AdvaMed Code of Ethics on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals — a voluntary code for members of Washington, D.C.-based Advanced Medical Technology Association, a medical device company association — went through some changes since it was released in draft form this spring. The voluntary code will become effective January 1, 2004.
"We did tighten it up," says Blair Childs, executive vice president of AdvaMed. "We had a candid discussion with the Office of Inspector General of Health and Human Services. They gave us some useful input, and the board decided to look at some of the issues again. We thought some of the points they made were valid, and we adjusted the code accordingly."
This spring, the OIG released its own compliance program guidance for pharmaceutical manufacturers to help them comply with federal anti-kickback laws. The guidance contained a footnote that explained that while it was directed at pharma, some of the same precepts apply to medical device and nutritional product manufacturers as well. The AdvaMed code provides guidelines for areas that have come under government scrutiny: product training and education for healthcare professionals, sales and promotional meetings, consultant arrangements, and gifts. It also addresses medical association meeting funding.
"The challenge was to make the code clear, to avoid having different companies interpret things differently," says Childs. "This is challenging for us, because unlike the pharmaceutical industry, which is relatively homogeneous, our industry includes everything from implantable devices to MRIs."
Elizabeth Carder-Thompson, partner, Reed Smith LLP in Washington, D.C., and one of the code's authors, adds, "The final code is a good document, and I hope it will be embraced by the industry. While the device industry definitely has some differences from the pharmaceutical industry, the application of fraud and abuse laws is pretty much the same."
What Got Tighter?
"The changes that were made overall link the AdvaMed Code more closely to the PhRMA Code," says Carder-Thompson. For example, in the section covering product training and education, the draft said that device companies may provide attendees with modest meals and hospitality in connection with such programs, and that it might be appropriate for guests to participate in group hospitality provided that costs were nominal. The final version specifies that hospitality and meals may be provided only for healthcare professionals — the part about guests has been deleted.
Similarly, in the section about supporting third-party educational conferences, the revised code says that device firms may provide meals and receptions for all healthcare professional attendees; while the draft said that meals and hospitality could be provided for any program attendees. In addition, the final Code includes a new FAQ regarding making charitable contributions to a not-for-profit institution to pay for the registration or seminar fees and travel expenses for one or more of its affiliated healthcare professionals to attend a third-party educational conference. The short answer is "no," but members could provide funding to "a third-party conference that the conference sponsor could apply to defray reasonable travel expenses of faculty selected by the sponsor, or to reduce registration or seminar fees for all attendees," the sponsor being the conference organizer, not the company.
It also is no longer acceptable to provide meals and "hospitality" — which could be defined to include things such as golf — at sales and promotional meetings. "Occasional hospitality" now is defined as only modest meals and receptions for healthcare professional attendees.
The Code's Impact
"I think it's going to change behavior by industry, no question," says Childs. "We represent the companies that produce about 90 percent of the medical device products sold in this country, so it's going to impact the vast majority of the industry." If they take the voluntary code to heart, that is, and Carder-Thompson thinks they will.
"It doesn't technically go into effect until January 1, but the clients I'm dealing with are already taking it very seriously," says Carder-Thompson. "I think we'd all rather see the money go into education and research instead of logoed golf balls."
Irwin Kuperberg, president of the Institute for Advanced Medical Education in Rye, N.Y., also thinks the AdvaMed Code will benefit CME providers in the same way the PhRMA Code does: "It asks them to shift from activities that are mostly big sales incentives for the customers toward more legitimate CME activities. These codes, along with the OIG guidance, mean "no more boondoggles, no more excessive spending for speakers and advisory boards, no more providing huge incentives and kickbacks to doctors," he says. "It gets these companies to rethink what they're doing, and redo it from a CME perspective. It creates opportunity for CME providers."
How much of an opportunity? Kuperberg says, "The pressure is on pharma and these device companies, and they rely on us to relieve that pressure. One person at an academic CME office told me his business has tripled since all the pressure started."

"If we win, we'll be third. If we win, and some other stuff happens, we could possibly still get second," Cleburne County coach Michael Shortt said prior to Wednesday afternoon's practice.
After starting Region 5 play 0-2, Lincoln has won four consecutive region tilts and is now 4-4 overall and 4-2 in the region
The Golden Bears feature small but speedy backs who run hard, particularly junior Jamario Howard.
"They run real hard and it's not real complicated to run real hard when you're running behind that transfer truck in front of you,"
Shortt said, referring to Lincoln's sizeable offensive linemen.
On defense, Lincoln features a blend of size and speed around the box.
"You've got to be able to throw it some," Shortt said of attacking Lincoln's defense. "You've got to be able to throw it some because those guys are so good up front."
Playing shorthanded, Cleburne County gave Jacksonville all the Golden Eagles wanted in last Friday's 14-7 loss in Heflin.
Cleburne County fell to 5-3 overall and 3-3 in Region 5 games. The Tigers' defense limited Jacksonville's high-scoring offense to just one touchdown. Jacksonville (6-2, 4-2), which had scored 20 points and 21 points in losses Munford and Lincoln and 40 or more points in each of its first five wins, got its first score by recovering a Cleburne County fumble.
"Defensively, we probably played one of our better games we've played all year against Jacksonville because they're real explosive.
… We played real well. We tackled well," Shortt said.
Late in the first quarter, Cleburne County drove 39 yards in four plays to score the game's first points, overcoming penalty yards along the way. Trey Bolton had runs of 10 yards and seven yards before Brandon Horn scored on a 25-yard carry. Anderson Jacks kicked the extra point and the Tigers led 7-0.
The Tigers failed to score on three other red zone chances in the first half and that lack of success came back to haunt them. As the second quarter came to a close, Cleburne County forced Jacksonville to punt but the Tigers got the ball deep in Tiger territory. On the second play, Cleburne County fumbled and the Golden Eagles recovered for a touchdown.
"If we just get our red zone opportunities taken care of it could have possibly been 21-0 at the half," Shortt said.
Instead, Cleburne County led just 7-6 when the bands played.
Jacksonville's only scoring drive came at the start of the third quarter and ended when burly running back Dominique Thomas scored on a fourth-and-goal call from two yards out. Quarterback Jackson Bell then ran for the 2-point conversion.
The Tigers rushed for 193 yards and passed for 23 yards, garnering 11 first downs. Jacksonville netted 142 yards on the ground and 33 through the air. The Golden Eagles had nine first downs. Cleburne County turned the ball over twice and Jacksonville once.
"We had opportunities early. Most of our offense came in the first half," Shortt said.
When the Tigers got inside the Jacksonville 10-yard line, the absence of linebacker-fullback Cole Corkren, injured in the Alexandria game, was particularly noticeable.
"We didn't have that fullback game when we got down inside the 5 or 6-yard line. Corkren had scored seven or eight times this year when we got down there," Shortt said.
Horn ran nine times for 86 yards. Bolton gained 80 yards on 23 carries. Christian Henson, moved from wide receiver to quarterback when Brady Padgett was injured in the Alexandria game, netted 27 yards on 10 carries.
Henson was 3-for-12 passing for 23 yards with one interception. Jeremiah Blake had one reception for 11 yards, Jeremiah McLeroy one for eight yards and Horn one for four yards.
Alex Sandmann led the Tigers in tackles with 14. McLeroy had seven tackles. Henson, Matthew Morrow, Geoffrey Teague, Griffin Turner and Isaiah Ware each recorded six tackles. Grant Corkren, Mario Smith and Drake Williamson had five tackles apiece.
Henson intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter. Following the pick, Cleburne County moved about 25 yards into Jacksonville territory before losing the ball on downs.

The Boise Hawks gave up a five-run lead, and fell 7-5 to Tri-City on the road Monday night.
The Hawks jumped out to quick lead, scoring two in the first inning, and three more runs in the second. But the Dust Devils managed to chip away at that in the fifth, scoring four runs. The home team tied it in the sixth, and then took the lead in the eighth when Francisco Sosa singled to left field. The Dust Devils added another run to put the game out of reach.
Gioskar Amaya once again came up big for the Hawks, batting 3-5 with 2 RBI. Su-Min Jung took the loss for the Hawks.
Both teams will wrap up the series on Tuesday night.

What We Like
As anyone who's attempted to make great art from old beer and Fanta cans will tell you, the demand from the art world or international galleries for sticky, aluminium sculptures is practically non-existent. However, that's not to say that the fine metal of aluminium can't be of use for arty goodness.
Take today's sensationally arty Cudo offering! It's a 100cm X 75cm aluminium display, of your favourite image or photograph, that hangs neatly to any wall using stainless steel mounts.
Normally, these unique wall offerings would cost you a cool $395 from My Photo Box; however, today, Cudo has snared them – all delivered to your door – for the incredible price of just $79! Like them? Well, love them, because today you can buy as many as you like – all with delivery, too – and all at this one low price.

And again, buy a stack of them and create your own wall gallery or make them a single centre piece on your wall.
So if you reckon aluminium can't be worthy of art, today Cudo has thrown the adage out the window. Or, more to the point, directly onto your wall! Just $79 to have your most precious memories transformed onto a 100cm X 75cm aluminium display and all delivered too! Now that's significantly better than a swan made out of Fanta cans, isn't it?

Well I guess we can put the blame on Obama and all the vacations he's taken using 747's, tour bus's & SUVs. If he'd stop contributing to the green house gas problem, maybe we wouldn't be seeing this hurricane.
best comment ever
Got a bunch of family in NYC and New Jersey.. Hoping to get in contact with them today! And i will tell them the same!
In NJ, already got the iPad charging, as well as the spare battery I have for my iPhone. Going to be a ruff weekend I'm sure.
Make sure you have a car charger for you iPhone. If the power goes out you can charge it with car which will become an important source of power. And make sure you fill up the car before the storm hits.
Five to ten years ago, maybe longer I bought a portable car battery jumper unit. For the life of me, I can't remember what it is called. It allows you to jumpstart your car without having to have another car there. It has a spot where you can plug in a cellphone charger, which I have used for a number of reasons. I'm charging it at the house in anticipation of Hurricane Irene.
keep some ziplock baggies handy to keep your pocket electronics dry if you have to go out in the rain or get caught in a rain band when you thought the sun had come out and it was safe. I keep a little towel in there so I can dry something and then seal it up to keep it that way.

This porcelain teapot, along with its set of four matching cups, features a delicate pattern of carp swimming among lotus flowers. Form and design are inspired by Chinoiserie, the decorative arts movement that was à la mode in the tea salons of eighteenth-century Paris. In Chinese culture, the carp, flowers and gilding are associated with harmony, bliss and enlightenment – rather like tea itself! The Golden Carp teapot has a 1000ml capacity and a removable stainless steel filter for a perfect cup of tea and easy cleaning.
The teapot and the set of four cups have a delicate celadon glaze, while the teapot also features a contrasting gilt / brushed gold finish lid. The cups and the teapot are dishwasher safe, apart from the teapot lid, which should be gently rinsed with warm water to protect its golden finish.

DENVER – After a seemingly painless entry through security and into the Pepsi Center perimeter, we finally made it into our bird's-eye view press section. The arena started to fill with delegates as we sat down and waited for Howard Dean's call to order.
And what a transfiguration the floor of the Pepsi Center has taken to host the DNC.
Our designated press seats are high, almost behind the podium – directly behind the 70s sounding-funk band. The arena wasn't yet full, I knew that was going to happen closer to 7 p.m. when the big names of Jesse Jackson, Jr., Caroline Kennedy and finally Michelle Obama take the podium.
I decided to test my press credentials and made my way down onto the floor. The show, believe me, is much better on the floor. Wilma Silver, a delegate from Pompano Beach, Fla., and clad in a silky-pink-flowery ensemble couldn't contain her enthusiasm when I approached her for an interview.
"I am from the great state of Florida and we are very, very much for Obama," she said, distracted by the mini beach balls flying over the Florida delegation. We know he can change this country."
Going into this, I hadn't yet got my mind around Joe Biden being selected to run as Barack's Vice President. I figured she knew.
"And Biden?" I said.
"I was absolutely crazy about Hillary until I talked to my son," Silver said as the beach party Florida-style continued. "He is so thrilled that Biden was selected and so am I. Biden is a true statesman and can stand up to any Republican that takes him on. They really can change."
Without any further questions, not wanting to keep her from the party, I moved on for a better perspective of this change everyone is talking about. Besides the Florida delegation, Colorado seemed to be the next popular place to be both for the media and dancing.
I was able to get a hold of Stan Matsunaka, the former Democratic member of the Colorado State Senate, serving until 2003. I asked him what Obama's "change" campaign was all about.
"This is really a ground-breaking campaign," Matsunaka, a Loveland resident, said. "When Barack Obama is nominated on Thursday, he will be the first African-American to do so. It's really ground-breaking and I am excited.
Matsunaka is a Japanese-American native of Colorado. He grew up on rural eastern Colorado near Fort Morgan and is, like me, proud to be a CSU ram.
"Barack brings a lot of new people to the campaign, really energetic folks," he continued. "I was president of the Colorado Senate and I have never seen this kind of a campaign … ever."
Matsunaka is no stranger to the political world as he lost to Republican Marilyn Musgrave for the 4th District of Colorado in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2002 and 2004. Clearly, he is ready for change.
I took another quick lap around the floor before my hour floor pass time expired. As I passed the CNN broadcast platform, I almost couldn't hold back a loud "Go Vols" to James Carville who I know to be a serious fan of LSU football and of SEC football in general. Clearly he was concentrating on his task at hand and didn't need any guff from a Tennessee fan.
On past the CBS platform and the glamorous Katie Couric, who was also reporting in the big lights. Finally, I ran into Steve VanVoorhees, a Virginia delegate who said he is having a great time in Denver. I asked him what the viewpoint is coming from Virginia as many of the Western States, including Colorado, have been a focal point of this election. VanVoorhees said he is looking at the big picture.
"You know, Barack got 80 percent of the voters in Virginia," he said. "For me, I want a change in the political system. I want new policies, that's really the biggie for me. Our standing in the world has changed and we have lost a lot of credibility in the past leadership. We need to get that respect that we used to have."
"Can Barack do that?" I asked.

Report of our Actual Expenses to ship trophies out of Namibia
My father and I hunted Africa for the first time in Sep of 2010. We hunted with Uitspan Hunting in the Kalahari region of Namibia. We just received the trophies here in the US this week. FYI, I thought I'd list what we paid for export of trophies and see how it compares with what others have found.
For the record I shipped:
Skull, salted cape, and horns of: Kudu, Gemsbok, Blue Wildebeest, Blesbok, Springbok, and Duiker
Skull and horns of: Red Hartebeest
Finished flatskins of kudu, springbok, and impala
My father shipped:
Skull, salted cape, and horns of: Kudu, Gemsbok x 2, Springbok, and Eland.
Skull and horns of: Red Hartebeest, and Blesbok
Finished flatskins of springbok and impala
After settling up with our PH, we incurred the following additional expenses:
Taxidermy shop in Windhoek for dipping and packing: $1,230
Shipping service for air freight from Windhoek to San Fransisco: $3,054
Customs clearing agent and freight from San Fran to local taxidermy shop: $1,560
Total bill is $5,845 or about $2,920 each.
Sound reasonable? Whether it does or doesn't, the hunter really is at the mercy of the various agents. One "lost" our wire transfer for a month or so. Only a phone call from the states to Namibia sorted that out. In all, I'm pleased. The trophies are in excellent shape and the taxidermy shop (and the PH) did a tremendous job of caring for our trophies.
Sadly, the real taxidermy expenses are just now about to start. In total we will probalby spend considerably more in export and taxidermy than we did for the actual hunt. Couldn't bear living without 'em though. Pictures are fine, but seeing that kudu will be a treat for years to come!

Wow. In 2007 my outfitter charged me nothing for dip and pack. Then my total bill from Coppersmith was $1,113 for shipping a mountain zebra hide and skulls/capes for a kudu, two springbok, a steenbok and a gemsbok. I guess I got off lucky on that one. I have a feeling that it is going to be a bit more when I ship my trophies back from Botswana next year.

The PH recommended the Taxidermy shop, the taxidermy shop recommended the shipping company, and I set things us with Coppersmith in San Fran. The part I wonder about is the shipping service, since coppersmith acted only as a receiving agent, not the shipping agent. Coppersmith didn't really sound interested in arranging for trophy pickup from my taxidermist in Namibia, so I went with the one the taxidermy shop recommended.

What was your point of shipping your animals from? South Africa or Namibia?
Were the 2 of you trophies the only ones shipped in the air cargo container or were your mixed with others to reduce air shipping?
Was your shipment delivered by coppersmith to your taxidermist in bulk or were your animals all by them selves.
Did you use an taxidermist that you were able to reduce your shipping due to their trucking line contracts?
Coppersmith in San Francisco was very helpful for my use...
My outfitter delivered my trophies to the exporting airport to be shipped with others to reduce the cost of shipping...all agreed to before i went on the trip...

The animals shipped from Windhoek, Namibia and did not transit through S. Africa. They went via Munich and London before they arrived to Coppersmith in San Fran. One carton contained my trophies and another contained my father's. As I understand it, there really isn't any way to combine trophies into a single container and get them through customs, USDA, and the other inspection points.
Not necessarily true...if they are going to the same place, and everyone has proper documentation, then it's not a problemMerry B.

I went on safari with Dries Visser last July and here is what I brought home and what my total dip/pack/ship/import bill came too.
Kudu skull, horns, cape, backskin
Eland skull, horns, cape, backskin
Impala skull, horns, cape, backskin
Blesbok skull, horns, cape, backskin
Gemsbok skull, horns, cape, backskin
Wildebeest skull, flatskin
Warthog European mount with plaque
Zebra full hide
Dip/Pack through Swift Dip: $920
Shipping through Safari Cargo Systems (Joburg to Coppersmiths in Chicago): $1338
Coppersmiths services and final shipment to Minneapolis: $613
Total: $2871
Just an FYI, I had estimated this was going to cost me about $2500 before I left - The biggest part that I missed in my estimate was the shipping charges. Hope the info helps.

I'm having a guy here in Idaho do the final taxidermy work. I was referred to a group in Texas, but after you figure the additional shipping, not being able to see/verify the position and quality of the mounts, and working with someone whose work I've seen before all amounts to something.

you could have saved a bundle by shipping in one container. simply use one name on the trophys. you are allowed to export 2 animals per species. this is just one way around this. very simple and i am shocked that more people dont do this!

1- I brought a gun into south africa
2- had a letter of invitation to hunt
3- we put all animals in one crate
4- maybe they didn't believe I was that bad of a hunter not to bring any animals home
5- I paid for my own crate and got my animals back.(less the hair on half of them but that is another story)
From that trip on I get my own crate.

When I hear about the various shipping charges my first thought is what a racket. Not a whole lot you can do about it. The dip and pack shouldn't be much of a surprise as you should be able to have a pretty good idea before you even go on your trip. The one cost that really makes me cringe when I hear people talk about it though is the broker fees or clearing agents. Overall I would have to say what a total waste of money with the only stipulation being on where you live. If you live no where even close to a port of entry then o.k your kind of in a spot. If however you are by a port of entry you are a fool if you don't clear them yourself. Know that might sound kind of harsh but it's the way I feel about it. I have gone twice to South Africa and had the first batch done over there and the second batch dip and packed. Both times I did the paperwork myself (which probably at the most took twenty minutes) and cleared them myself. These shipping agents make it sound so difficult and act like you are really setting yourself up for disaster if you even consider doing it yourself. What a load of crap! I only live about 45 minutes from PDX but even if I lived 10 hours away I would still save a lot of money doing it myself. Keep in mind all they do is the paperwork and go clear them, you still have to pick them up or pay them even more to set up shipping to where you want them. I hear them talk about this much for import fees and this much for export fees and have to laugh. Makes it seem like they are doing so much when in reality they are doing that 20 minutes of paperwork, contacting U.S. fish and game to schedule an appointment and that's pretty much it. I had a long discussion with the Fish and Game agent I have gone through both times and she agreed that it really was a racket and couldn't believe more people didn't clear there own trophies. Anyway that's my rant. Any questions on this incredibly complicated process (lots of sarcasim) feel free to get a hold of me and I'll help any way I can.

Wow. That is a lot . I know that the most any of my clients have paid was 2600.00, and thats for some heavy trophies or lots of plains game trophies out of Namibia,south or Zim.. And thats having the client shipping their trophies to coppersmith in Seatac Wa. and then being shipped to my studio or my USDA tannery in Montana. Most of the clients will go through coppersmith will have their shipments COD instead of those wire tranfers that almost anyways gets messed up. It is true that you are at the mercy of all that are involved in the shipping part....Don

TELLURIDE – As Marketing Telluride Inc. reviews the region's tourist economy for the past year and looks to the year ahead at its annual meeting next week, the organization charged with priming the tourist economy is finding itself short on the cash it needs to do it.
"We're responsible for driving the economy and we don't have the ability to as effectively as we would like," MTI Chief Executive Officer Scott McQuade said at a recent San Miguel Lodging Tax Panel meeting.
"We have never been in such a weak place as far as budgeting is concerned."
MTI, which is also known as the Telluride Tourism Board, will hold its annual meeting at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village on Thursday, Dec. 10 from 3 to 5 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.
The organization's 2010 budget projection is a slim $1.06 million, roughly $400,000 less than it had to work with in 2009, and just half of the $2 million recommended by consultants commissioned in 2005 to create a blueprint for what was then envisioned as the region's main marketing group.
"It's going to be a challenge trying to drive a $150 million economy on one percent," McQuade said.
MTI has already reduced its staff by one and one-half positions and is looking to other cost savings measures from the mundane – turning off lights – to the material – driving traffic to its website in order to save on visitor mailing costs – according to McQuade.
"We're cutting it every place we can," he said.
The lion's share of next year's budget – about 70 percent – will be allocated to marketing and sales efforts.
"The last thing going from our budget is our media buy," said McQuade. "We need to keep majority of our dollars in sales and marketing and that won't change."
With the money it does have available MTI plans to focus on its regional markets in Texas, Phoenix and Denver while maintaining a national media budget.
Additionally, it will move away somewhat from traditional media toward social networking like Facebook and Twitter.
A celebration of the newly reconstructed Telluride Regional Airport runway timed to coincide with the Visa U.S. Snowboardcross World Cup later this month also presents a unique opportunity to capitalize on the presence of international press here covering the Olympic qualifier event.
"We really hope to highlight the airport," said McQuade. "It's one of our best competitive advantages."
But are all these enough?
With such a tight budget, "We can still be effective…it's a matter of how effective," McQuade said.
"Certainly not as effective as many of our competitors."
As local merchants coming out of the normally slow off-season struggle with recession-induced sales shortfalls and look to increased visitor traffic in 2010 to help improve their bottom lines – or perhaps even stay in business – the timing couldn't be worse.
"The need has never been greater for MTI to pull Telluride out of this, but its resources have never been less," said McQuade.
MTI is dependant on lodging tax collections for the bulk of its income, and year to date that number is down about 30 percent due to decreased occupancy and lower room rates.
The organization also receives some revenue from Telluride and Mountain Village business license fees, charged to businesses on a sliding scale depending on the number of workers they employ.
As a result, the impact of empty storefronts reaches farther than aesthetics alone.
"When someone reduces staff or goes out of business as a result of the downturn it directly impacts the MTI budget," McQuade explained.
But as anyone who attends MTI's annual meeting next week will learn, there may be some good news around the corner.
For example, Ralf Garrison, a destination tourism "supply side expert" and president of the Advisory Group of Denver, Inc., which provides aggregate data on mountain destination guests and advance reservation patterns to MTI, will speak about the trends he has been watching and what he expects might unfold this season.
"There are some signs of optimism out there," McQuade said.
"We're holding our own," he continued. "There's definitely some positive indicators on the horizon."
McQuade recommended that anyone who is interested in learning more about Telluride's visitor economy and where it's headed attend MTI's annual meeting, particularly those with related businesses.
"They should certainly be aware of what's happening, of what makes Telluride tick or not tick," he said.
"This is the culmination of where all that information comes together."

These invites need extra postage, however some of the evelopes were a bit too large to consider as a "letter". Some of my invites were treated as a "package", so instead of 0.66 cents they were $1.12.

Raleigh >Food & Dining > Mo Joe's Burger Joint

Frozen burger patties should not be show cased... – We went there for lunch today, and were very excited about burgers for lunch. Sitting on the patio was very nice and our server was sweet. Our burgers while sounding yummy, tasted like they were pre-formed frozen patties. The Smush burger was lite on the toppings (sauteed mushrooms and onions) and the Jack Daniels BBQ burger tasted like the bbq sauce had been poured directly out of a bottle. Nothing seemed fresh or homeade as one may expect from a place claiming to be a burger joint. The beer battered onion rings were very good, but I am pretty sure they were frozen as well. All in all we will bot be returning. If you are craving burgers, go to Five Guys its 110% better!
Burgers are Average – Love the atmosphere, this place should be one of those small places that server "the best". I've been there three times in two years and always wonder why a "Burger Joint" has average burgers. The buns were obviously bought at the grocery store and not even fresh. The burger meat was either a really dry grind or something bought frozen wholesale. I love the idea of a "burger joint" and hoped this would be weekly stop but I'm wondering if they are so attached to the beer revenue the food quality really doesn't matter.
Great customer service and the food was great – Oh, My Gosh. I loved this place.The food,service, and prices were great. It's an ideal place for students or adults that don't want to spend to much. The wings were great and it was one of the best dates I have ever been on. This one of the best resturants's I've ever been to.
HORRIBLE Customer Service!!!!! – Although the seating outside is decent, I was appalled at how rude the waitstaff and the manager was to their customers. After waiting for 30 minutes on two single burgers, I simply asked the waitress if our food was almost ready. She replied in a very short manner, "I put it in." Then after an hour of waiting on our food, I asked her again what was going on, because a group had come in after us and they were nearly finished with their meal. She said, "Oh I forgot to put in your order," I replied "Why did you tell me you put it in before," and she said "Look I am busy and I don't have time for you." From there another waiter came and said he could make my girlfriend and I leave for being rude. I left!!! MAD!! and on top of that I never received an apology from anyone at Mojoes. I will never go back regardless of how good the food is, because their customer service is HORRIBLE!!
fun and friendly – I live about mile from Mojoe's and I find myself there with regularity. It's a great place to sit down, enjoy a beer and eat some comfort food in a relatively laid-back setting. The veggie burger is great and they will make it in the style of most any of their specialty burgers - I recommend the Smush (Mushroom 'n' Swiss) and the Inferno (Jalapenos and Pepper Jack) or just create your own (the slaw is wonderful). The fries are usually done right and the onion rings are terrific. The staff is mostly friendly and upbeat and I can't recall ever waiting too long for my food. I wish Glenwood South had a lot more places like this and less of the gross "glitz and glamour" scene that's currently mucking it up. Oh, and did I mention that they're open late? Appreciated.
Looking for a great burger? Keep looking! – I'm disappointed at this supposed "great burger place" is. The premade burgers, overdone to a point of having no taste, made for a queasy day and night. Now, in fairness, I understand there's a law in NC that you have to cook burgers past medium-well. Still, this wasn't good. Special lowlights? Watching the waitress repeatedly lift the bun with her fingers to see what's on there to make sure she's giving the right burger to the right person. Really good onion rings though.
Burgers and buckets o' beer served all hours in this laid-back hipster bar. – In Short
Pressed tin ceiling, wooden tables and light industrial signage are the backdrop for a post-college crowd hanging out. American bar food featuring the usual suspects: wings, jalapeno poppers, hot dogs and fries. Burgers are the menu mainstay with a variety of toppings available. The veggie burger is the standard issue fried patty. Surprisingly, a good bet is MoJoe's house salad with grilled chicken, featuring crisp veggies and homemade ranch dressing.
Rewrite the Review! I love MoJoes!! – This is one of my favorite after-work eateries. You just can't beat the food for the money. It's comfortable, hip and more than a little quirky. Also, how many places in Raleigh even have a veggie burger - much less a good one?! (May I reccommend the veggie burger, cajun, with swiss, cheddar and a side of buffalo sauce?)
Drinks are pretty stiff and the servers are fun, but not obnoxious fun. It's definitely worth a try! Oh, and they have lots of outside seating.
Great Burgers – I was a little skeptical when I read the negative review about unimpressive premade burgers. I ordered a mushroom & swiss burger and it was absolutely awesome! It was so good! I have been living in Raleigh for 3 years and this is the best burger I have ever had here. The place is pretty cool too. I would not necessarily call it romantic though. It was a hip place with a bar. I wouldn't recommend taking a huge group because it's not that big, although the outside patio seated a big group last time I was there. I wouldn't take my kids there either. It's a twenty-something and up kinda place. Not necessarily a kid-like atmoshpere. The prices were average and the service was pretty good to. Looking forward to going back there soon.
Tried it again... – So I tried it again after a one year hiatus. I remember why I hadn't been back. Instead of serving the frozen burgers, how about showing just a little effort and buy some fresh ground beef and make a real burger? The slaw and chili were great, but the frozen burgers and frozen fries reminded me of why we hadn't returned. Also, what's with all the hipster parents letting their offspring run wild throughout the establishment? The staff is great and they give great service, but it is not their responsibility to baby sit.

Doctors >Alamo Asthma & Allergy - Drs. Michael and Adrianne Vaughn
115 Gallery Circle, Suite 200, San Antonio, TX | Directions 7825829.613016 -98.491398

Allergy shots may be needed to control symptoms in some who suffer from environmental allergies. They are often recommended for those who's respiratory symptoms persist while on anti-histamines and nasal steriods. Skin testing is usually performed to detect allergy sensitivities, but blood testing (RAST) is an alternative.
We offer evaluation and treatment for the following adult and pediatric medical problems: asthma and related lung disorders, hay fever/nasal allergy, childhood eczema or dermatititi, drug allergy, food allergy, insect sting allergy, latex sensitivity, recurrent sinusitis or ear infections(immunity problems), recurrent skin infections (immunity problems), hives and angioedema (tissue swelling) or anaphylaxis.
Please see our website for more information.
Made a difference! – I am very happy with Alamo Asthma and Allergy. The office staff is very courteous, professional, and always greets me with a smile. Dr. Vaughn is friendly and thorough. At the end of the day, all this is nice but what makes a difference is if I feel better. I do. I have been a patient for the past 1-1/2 years. During this time my allergy symptoms have subsided substantially. I strongly recommed Alamo Asthma and Allergy.
Improved my quality of life in SA, TX – I moved to San Antonio TX from the Midwest and became very ill. After my 3rd round of anitbotics my primary suggested I may want to be allergy tested. He referred me to Dr Vaughn. I had 25 things in SA that I was allergic to and needed shots. Dr Adrian Vaughn has turned my life around. Now after 3 years of me taking shots religiously, I tested negative to all but a few things and they were greatly reduced. Since starting shots I have not had sinus infections or bronchitis, even though my immune system is low. I am so glad to have found Dr Vaughn and really enjoy my visits to her. She is very engaging , funny, freindly, yet professional and knowlegable. I just love her. Maggie, the one that gives the shots, has become a friend of mine as I see her two times a week, every week. I am now going to be reducing my visits and injections and see how I do, but I am feeling a bit of a sense of loss and withdrawl as I will miss seeing everyone. I know they really helped me to survive here in TX . I highly recommend this group if you are in need of an Allergist. They are supreme! Just can not say enough great things about them. Word of advise, follow their treatment plan and be religious for the best results. It will pay off big time! They know what they are doing for the best results.
Thank you for spreading the word that for persons with severe allergy, who cannot be managed effectively with traditional medical therapy, that there is still hope. Unfortunately, there has been a proliferation of non-Allergist Physicians who are using "home" allergy shots for their patients. These shots have been "watered down" and are claimed to be "safe enough for home use" however; this has never been shown in any reliable clinical study to produce clinical benefits equivalent to shots formulated by Board Certified Allergists. If you are offered "allergy shots " by anyone who is not a trained Allergist, make sure that they will be providing you with 5-20 micrograms of each major allergen *as per the recommendations of the Joint Task Force (www.JCAAI.org) "Practice Parameters for Immunotherapy".. The only allergy shot that is truely "safe enough for home use" is one that has no allergen in it; for this reason, Allergists do not advocate "home" allergy shots.
very helpful and kind – Our family has been going to the Vaughns for allergy treatment for several years now. It has made cedar season tolerable for the first time for those of us allergic. I had tried allergy shots as a child and therefore was skeptical that they would make much of a difference in my asthma symptoms. But I would say these are not your fathers allergy shots. They seem to be both more careful in terms of safety with precautionary medications and quite aggressive in getting the response needed to alleviate allergic response. My asthma symptoms are dramatically reduced from following their advice on the shots and on home allergen prevention. You do have to show up for the shots, but it is worth the effort to avoid misery. I strongly advise people who are miserable to seek out their advice. They are both wonderful. They will spend time with you and go over your specific needs. Every person who works there is friendly and kind every time we visit.
Allergy shots are not for everyone. About 1 in 5 persons seen in our office for nasal allergies or asthma is placed on allergy shots. They are very effective medications if given in high enough doses however; they can also cause serious allergic reactions. The JCAAI (www.JCAAI.org) recommends that allergy shots only be administered by a physician who has been trained to carefully weigh the risks vs. benefits for each individual.
Allergy Shots can be Miraculous – I brought my son Eli to see Dr. Mike 3 years ago. He is 8 now and has had asthma since age 2. He used to take multiple medications and used a nebulizer for his asthma controller medication (pulmicort) twice per day. When he was in kindergarten, his asthma prevented him from being outside during the spring. Every March his eyes would swell closed and his asthma would worsen. Dr. Mike found that his skin testing was severely positive to live Oak pollen and there were several Oak trees on Eli's school playground. Eli also had sensitivity to dog and dustmites. We had never observed any problems around our indoor dog burt after Dr. Vaughn suggested we keep the dog out of Eli's bedroom, his night-time asthma got much better. We also used dust mite covers for the pillows and mattress. Because Eli would be exposed to dog allergens when he was at his grandmother's home we requested allergy shots for Eli. After 3 years on allergy shots (given twice per month at Dr. mike's office) Eli's asthma is gone and he is off all of his medications. Dr. Mike and Dr. Adrianne are both great with kids.
Dear Stacy,
Many parents express frustration with the number of medications their children must take to control their allergy or Asthma symptoms. If the primary trigger for the asthma is allergy, then allergy shots typically result in the reduction of medications needed. The treating physician should be aggressive in seaching out the cause of the illness rather than simply treating the illness symptoms. Every child (or adult) with asthma should have an evaluation for possible allergic triggers by their primary care physician or an Allergist. This can be done by blood work called a RAST test or if the physician is trained, by skin testing. Scratch or prick Skin testing is quick, nearly painless; skin testing should be done without needles. If avoidable allergen triggers are identified, such as dust mites or pet dander, interventions in the home to reduce exposure may result in symptom improvement.
Excellent!! – Very caring and knowledgeable. They'll make sure you get the care & also medications that you need even if you don't have insurance or your insurance does not cover certain things. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Very satisfied with this office. Thank you.
Thank you for letting people know that many doctors will work with their patients to make sure that the medical services they need are avalable to them for reasonable fees. A good example is the out of pocket cost for allergy testing (for those without insurance is about $50.00). This 10 minute skin test can evaluate 14 common allergens including: Mountain Cedar, spring trees (oak/ pecan) summer grasses and fall weed pollens (ragweed/ / pigweed). This testing also includes dust mites and pet dander (cat / dog) that are potentially avoidable allergic triggers. Knowing what a person is allergic to is extremely important in the medical management of nasal allergies and asthma. Many persons who believe they have nasal allergies actually do not have allergies but actually suffer from chronic persistent sinus infections or irritant sensitivity called "non-allergic rhinitis". These two problems cannot be treated effectively with over-the-counter medications.
Allergy shots saved my relationship – I am an ER doctor in SATX. I first met Dr. Mike as a coworker in 1995. He is the only doctor I know of that is Board Certified to practice Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Allergy & Immunology. In addition, he has a PhD. in Immunology. I first sought his care for my Asthma and Allergy issues several years after he transitioned from ER medicine to full -time Allergy. My spouse has a cat she thinks is our second child (we have only one human child). The cat has the full run of the house and over the years, my allergic sensitivity had grown to the point that I was becoming miserable in my own home; with nasal congestion and wheezing after being in the home for as little as 30 minutes. When I gave my wife the ultimatum "either the cat goes or I do" she simply replied "don't more too far away, long distance relationships don't seem to last." It was then I realized I had to deal with the fact that I had to get allergy shots. Even though I am a physician, I feared the needle. Dr. Mike convinced me that poisoning the cat could get me into real trouble and that I had no other options. I began shots in 2007 and within 1 year of getting shots once every 2 weeks, I could live in my home without daily allegy and asthma medication use. I also noticed that my exercise induced asthma resolved as well. Prior to beginning allergy shots, I had 5-6 sinus infections per year. Dr.Mike checked my immune system to see if I was making antibodies to Strep. pneumonia, a bacteria responsible for about 1/2 of all sinus infections. He discovered that I was not well protected against this organism and administered a "pneumonia shot" that corrected this problem. Since that time, I have not had a single sinus infection. My daughter has also had recurrent sinus infections (and had tons of ear infections as a young child), Dr.Mike suggested the same immune evaluation for her and found that she had not made protective antibodies to the 4 Strep. pnuemonia vaccines (PCV-7) she was given before age 2. She was given the pneumovax shot (PCV-23) as well and has had a dramatically reduced frequency of infections. My whole family loves their office and staff. I could not more wholeheartedly recommend an allergist to those with similar medical or cat problems). We especially love Maggie the shot nurse, sometimes I can't even feel the shot when it is given to me and the clinic shot hours are great. I don't know any other office that is open at 0730 in the am.
Thank you for your review. Streptococcus pneumonia causes about 1/2 of all sinus infections and ear infections. Most children receive 4 pneumococcal vaccinations (PCV-7) before 15 months of age. Unfortunately, these shots do not always stimulate the production of protective antibodies in every child. We feel that it is important to check for these antibodies in anyone who has more that 3 sinus infections or ear infections per year. If antibodies are absent or low, vaccination with pneumovax (PCV-23), containing 23 different varieties of pneumococcus, often sucessfully generates protective antibodies. It has been our experience that if this problem is identified and corrected by vaccination, that many patients feel that their frequency off developing sinus infections or ear infections significantly improves.
Alama Asthma and Allergy – Dr. Vaughn appears to be a nice guy.
fixed my recurrent sinus infections – As a lifelong sufferer of skin allergies and more recently, environmental allergies, I have found success with the treatment advice of Dr. Adrianne Vaughn. My symptoms have been under control for many years due to Dr. Vaughn's intervention.
My quality of life has been greatly improved with my allergies and exercise-induced asthma in check. I enjoy regular outdoor activities regardless of the season thanks to Dr. Vaughn.
I urge allergy sufferers to take the first, most important step and call the Alamo Asthma & Allergy clinic.
The Best Allergists In SAN ANTONIO – I would first like to say that I would not be alive today if it were not for the care of Drs.Michael and Adrianne Vaughn. Both Drs. together saved my life. I have severe allergies and severe asthma, when I moved to South Texas 9 years ago I did not realize that my allergies were that bad. I was recommended to Alamo Asthma & Allergy by a friend. The Drs. first tested me and began treating me for my asthma. I went from having an Asthma attack every other day to once a month. I now get a Xolair shot for my asthma (its like magic). I also get allergy shots. The Drs. Are blessed to have a wonderful careing staff thats been with them for a long time. That tells you something about his practice. I recommend the Drs. to all my friends and family and coworkers. I honestly can not speak highly enough of these Drs & staff. If you or your friends suffer from allergies or asthma don't wait ,call and make an appointment today.
SA's #1 Allergist – The Vaughn's are friendly, professional doctors that do everything they possibly can to help me and my kids with our allergies and low immune systems. Their quick and easy to get scheduled with and very thourough in care. I am very pleased with the service and the staff are very informative and friendly as well. Would recommend to all family and friends!

One organization that has pinpointed a specific demographic and made its mission encouraging members to make healthy living a priority is Black Girls Run. According to www.blackgirlsrun.com, 80 percent of African-American women are overweight, and with that statistic comes an alarming array of other health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
BGR began as a blog for Tony Carey and Ashley Hicks of Atlanta to share their running adventures and efforts to stay healthy. The blog resonated with black women of all ages and grew into a movement to tackle the growing obesity epidemic in the African-American community. Carey and Hicks founded Black Girls Run in 2009 to provide encouragement and resources to new and veteran runners with the goal of lowering the number of women with chronic diseases associated with an unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle.
Since April 2010, BGR has launched 69 running groups in 30 states with more than 52,000 members, a number which increased by more than 102 percent by February 2012. The Alabama BGR headquarters is in Birmingham — BGR Coordinators for Anniston are Lisa Glover and Kim Moore, and Tamara Kidd for Oxford.
Kidd, who joined BGR three years, says membership is free — just go to the website, find your local chapter, and join.
Kidd has her own Facebook blog, Women on the Move, where the 39-year-old Anniston native details struggles with maintaining a healthy lifestyle and balancing the demands of her full-time job as a social worker for the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega, being a wife to husband Brian and hands-on mom to two teen sport stars, ages 13 and 16. Yet, she still finds time and energy to get her run on.
In her posts, Kidd mixes humor with reality checks, and despite having the cheekbones of a supermodel, she exudes a vulnerability that makes her seem approachable. Simply put, women can relate to her, and she to them.
Recently Kidd took time out to answer a few questions about her connection to BGR, and why she is excited the movement has come to our area.
Q: Why do you run, what motivates you?
A: I decided to run solely for my own health reasons. I was not in the best shape or health overall. Running is my drug of choice. It's cheaper than therapy, and it's where I can listen and talk with God. It's my happy place.
Q: Why join BGR, a group of just black women?
A: My passion has always been to solely work with women regarding fitness, primarily the African-American community. BGR provided me with the support system I needed to get my health back on track. I felt compelled to help other women do the same by encouraging and motivating them to make lifestyle changes to improve their overall health.
Four out of five black women are overweight or obese, and I want to do everything I can to decrease those statistics. I have a 13-year-old daughter myself, and it's important to me to model a healthy lifestyle that includes healthy food choices and exercise. As obesity and related diseases continue to increase among minorities, BGR has the opportunity to inspire these women to get healthy and fit. It's not about being a particular size — we just need to be healthy.
Q: Does your family run with you?
A: My family sometimes accompanies me with training runs, however, due to their hectic work and sports schedules, we are limited in the times we can run together. My son, Kaleb, who is a member of the Oxford High School basketball team, won the Heritage 5K in Hobson City for his age group, and my daughter, Makayla, ran in the Superman 5K with me last year.
Q: How often do you run?
A: I run four, sometimes five times a week, averaging 20-25 miles a week.
Q: You've been running for several years, but when was your first race?
A: I ran my first 5K at the Anniston Army Depot (Making Tracks 5K) on my birthday two years ago. Since then, I have completed several 5Ks, 10Ks and two half marathons.
Q: What is your favorite race?
A: My first half marathon at Disney World. It was exciting to run through the Disney Parks and take pictures with all the Disney characters.
Q: So, what's next on your running bucket list?
A: I will turn the big 4-0 next year, so I definitely want to run a full marathon. I want to cross that off my bucket list for sure!

If you are one of the 20,000 or so monthly users of The Miami Heralds iPad app, you noticed a change this week.
Our tablet application has a new look and new features that improve how you can enjoy the Miami Herald stories, photos and videos that most interest you.
Heres a quick list of the iPad app upgrades:
• Its faster. Content loads more quickly.
• Its easier to customize. You can choose which types of news appear on your home screen so you see the topics of greatest interest when you open the app.
It features richer content. Weve added new sections for in-depth stories both from Miami Herald staff and the 30 other newsrooms across McClatchy, including our Washington and foreign bureaus.
• Sports scores update automatically.
• You can print stories directly from the app with a Bluetooth connection.
• You can access the digital edition of The Miami Herald a clickable pdf version of the morning newspaper with all the sections and advertisements right from the iPad app homepage.
Of course, the app retains many of the features from when we first launched The Herald on the iPad in May 2011. You can make the type bigger. You can easily share any story through Twitter and Facebook. You can download content to read later, when you may not have a wireless or data connection or when you simply have more time.
Some features have been tweaked, because while version 1.0 was well received, we learned a lot from how you used the app which features you liked, didnt use, or what the app lacked.
With the latest app update, we were able to respond to many of our readers requests, said Alex Fuentes, general manager of Miami Herald Interactive.
Right off, it just looks better. The sections are easier to navigate. The presentation is optimized for retina display, Fuentes said.
If you dont have our tablet app or any of our other apps you can download them from the Apple app store or from Google Play for free. All of our apps are included with a Miami Herald+ digital subscription, along with home delivery of the newspaper.
In addition to our tablet app and digital edition, we offer iPhone and Android for news and sports apps on the Miami Heat, the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Marlins, and the Florida Panthers, as well as apps for the University of Miami, University of Florida, Florida International University and Florida State.
In Spanish, we have an El Nuevo Herald news app for iPhone and Android, and very soon well launch an El Nuevo Herald app for the iPad.
And, with all the apps, there will be periodic upgrades and additions, Fuentes said.
We will continue to improve the app as we continue to learn how our readers interact with our content on tablets."

The new, eight-week ferry service from the South Shore of Staten Island to Lower Manhattan started running Monday morning, filling a transit need that stemmed from Hurricane Sandy's damage to the Staten Island Railway.
The ferry boats, operated by New York Water Taxi, are making trips in each direction six times daily, leaving Great Kills between 6:30 and 9 a.m. for Pier 11 at Wall Street and East 35th Street and heading back for Staten Island between 5:40 and 8:10 p.m. The one-way fare is $2, and it takes about 45 minutes to reach Pier 11 and 55 minutes to reach East 35th Street.
"Sandy threw everything at us, and it's been terrific to see everyone coming together to work to improve the lives of Staten Islanders and in particular making it a little easier to get into and around town," said Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.
Linda Spurrell of Tottenville arrived extra early to ride the first boat from Great Kills. She usually rides the Staten Island Railway to St. George to catch the Staten Island Ferry and then takes to the subway to Midtown.
"Since the storm, the Staten Island train has been running pretty slow and it's not always meeting the boat. So it's been taking two to two-and-a-half hours sometimes. So I figured, let me try this," she said.
"It's another alternative. It's been tough getting into work since the storm," said another passenger. "So we're willing to give it a try."
"I'm really hoping that this makes a difference," said a third passenger.
Some elected officials and residents have called for ferry service to the South Shore for years, and they hoped this temporary ferry will be successful and possibly be made permanent in the future.
"The thing about this, compared to other ways of getting there, is you don't have traffic usually in the water as you do with buses. So this has a lot of opportunity to be a more reliable form of transportation," said a local.
"We would love to see this permanently. If it's quick, why not?" another local said.
A shuttle bus will link the ferry landing at Great Kills with the S78 and SBS S79 bus stop at Buffalo Street and Hylan Boulevard.

Katrina Outreach
We need your help in reaching out to a select group of public school children in a very special way!
This weekend I was scheduled to speak at First Baptist Church of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. If you've been following the news regarding Hurricane Katrina, you have seen images of the catastrophic damage that has replaced the once-quiet coastal areas of that portion of the USA. During Hurricane Katrina as many as 50 families at this church lost their homes and basically all of their worldly possessions. Every family in that church and, in fact, in the entire community is struggling through the aftermath of this incredible catastrophe.
The AiG speaking event can be rescheduled, but the opportunity for AiG to help this pastor and his church to be the bright, shining lighthouse to their community that they long to be is now!
How you can help
Pastor Barnett—a dear man of God—has learned that the public school system of Ocean Springs intends to re-open on September 26. However, most children have lost all the school supplies that their parents bought only a few short weeks ago. When asked how AiG might be able to help, Pastor Barnett shared that over 4,000 bookbags and all the necessary notebooks, pens, calculators, glue, etc., are needed for these students. But due to the devastation, the ability of the families to find and repurchase the materials is almost nonexistent.
We are stepping out in faith to fund and deliver at least 1,000 kits. These kits will also contain a care-card that expresses that Answers in Genesis is supplying these bookbags in the love of the Creator, Jesus Christ, as we're instructed to do in the Bible. For the high school students, a Why Is There Death & Suffering? booklet may also be included.
We anticipate being able to supply them for only about $10/student (we expect that many of the components will be donated or sold to us at cost). We will supply only as many bookbag kits to this special relief outreach as your donations will support.
Consider asking your children to forego one pizza or one theater visit. Then pray together for the students to whom your bookbag will be delivered. Pray also for their families. Pray for their eternal salvation.
Who knows—maybe because of the love we show these students, some of them and their parents will also attend AiG's meeting when it is rescheduled later this year. What an opportunity we have to share the love of Christ with people as God tells us to do in His Word!
How many Ocean Springs public school students will your family adopt?
In the love of the Creator,
Ken Ham, president, AiG–USA
P.S. Through a "missions fund" at AiG, we are also going to supply "toiletry/hygiene kits" to the nearly 500 people in Pastor Barnett's congregation. Soap, toothpaste, shampoo, Tylenol and a few other basic items that are now exceedingly rare for these dear people will be included. These kits will cost us about $8 each. If you'd be willing to help fund these as well, please add a donation to the "core ministry outreach" box on the donate page. Finally, if you live in the Greater Cincinnati area and can drop off disposable diapers, baby wipes and powder, blankets and pillows (click here for a map to our headquarters), a drop-off location in the Creation Museum parking lot will be available starting Monday. It will be open Monday through Saturday (9 am to 6 pm) and Sunday (1 pm to 5 pm) until we load the AiG trailers to drive to Mississippi on September 22.

The multifunctional, PMT-based BMG LABTECH PHERAstar reader was used for signal detection. Excellent Z'-factor, %CV, and linear range data was obtained. Together, these scalable assays and instrumentation offer ideal tools for HTS users studying drug effects on cells during the drug discovery process.
