This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan in Washington. The NIH superbug claimed its seventh victim last week, more than six months after specialists at one of the country's most prestigious hospitals thought they had the outbreak contained. The bug is called Klebsiella - I'll get it right - Klebsiella pneumoniae, or KPC for short, and most antibiotics can't kill it. It's one of several drug-resistant bacteria that many hospitals struggle to control. The best known is probably MRSA.
Demand for Apple's iPhone 5 is expected to be so big that one economist predicted sales could boost the U.S. economy 1/2 percent. And Apple's going to court to shut down what it sees as copycats. Slate columnist Farhad Manjoo talks about who's competing with Apple, and whether it's working.
This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan in Washington. Anybody who watches police procedurals on TV knows the term AFIS. That stands for the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. And over the next couple of years, it's being updated, and we're going to have to get used to a new acronym, NGIS, the Next-Generation Identification System, which incorporates an improved fingerprint system and all kinds of other biometric data, from face recognition to iris scans.

Today, we mark six months since "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) was repealed, and the news is good. Service members of every branch and every rank -- along with the nation's military leaders -- are to be congratulated for the professionalism with which implementation is taking place. Indeed, the dire warnings of opponents have not come to pass -- just as we knew they wouldn't. Repeal has not resulted in any comprising of unit cohesion, mass exodus from the services, or damage to the morale of the nation's fighting men and women.
So what has brought about this success?
Let's first remember that Congress passed a law establishing a process whereby DADT would go away if -- that is, if -- the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the President all certified to Congress that the services were ready to make this change. There was nothing in the law that required certification to ever occur, and before certifying, our nation's leaders took all necessary steps to ensure that our military would be ready.
Even before repeal enabling legislation was signed by President Obama in December 2011, these preparations and contingent plans were underway. From the unprecedented engagement of the force in the form of the meetings conducted in the field to discuss the proposed changes with service members to the largest non-census survey of the nation's military in our history, planning was in place to ensure that repeal -- if it happened -- would occur in an environment that would foster its success. Extensive education and engagement of the forces occurred before certification, and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Mike Mullen and then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates -- even though they were not required to do so by law -- consulted with all the service chiefs before recommending that repeal proceed.
That time in the field face to face with service members -- coupled with the survey, education, and training -- all came together to solidify the view of the military leadership, as well as the rank and file, that repeal could occur without disruption to the mission of the armed forces. Ultimately, it was the decision of the services to move away from DADT and write, issue, and implement a new set of regulations that now permit gays and lesbians to serve openly if they choose to do so.
But even as we herald the success we see, we know that implementation cannot be entirely successful as long as we have two classes of service members. Perhaps President Obama himself said it best when speaking to supporters recently about the repeal of DADT. He stated:
We're going to have more work to do on this issue, as is true on a lot of other issues. There's still areas where fairness is not the rule.

Social Security questions and answers
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 0
Question: A friend told me that Social Security has a great new radio show on the Internet. Do you? Answer: Your friend is talking about our new podcast, "Deciding When to Start Receiving Retirement Benefits," which is available now at www.socialsecurity.gov/podcasts. The conversational program talks about factors to consider when you're thinking about when to retire. You can listen to the podcast now at www.socialsecurity.gov/podcasts. Question: In a few years I will turn 62 and would like to retire. I know that Social Security's full retirement age is gradually rising from 65 to 67. But does this mean the "early" retirement age will also be going up by two years, from age 62 to 64? Answer: No. While it is true that the full retirement age is gradually rising from 65 to 67, the "early" retirement age will remain at 62. So you can go ahead with your plans to retire early. Keep in mind, however, that by taking early retirement, your benefits will be reduced. For more information on the factors to consider, read the fact sheet "When to Start Receiving Retirement Benefits" at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10147.html. Question: I've heard there is a way for my son to get his disability application on the "fast-track." How does this work? Answer: Take a look at whether you son has one of the 50 impairments--25 rare diseases and 25 cancers--on the list at www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances. If your son has one of those impairments, it may allow his application to be fast-tracked. Recently, Social Security announced this "Compassionate Allowances" initiative. It allows applicants to receive a decision on their disability application within days, if their medical conditions are so severe that they obviously meet Social Security's definition of disability. Over time, more diseases and conditions will be added to the list. Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances.

|Alcohol dehydrogenase-specific T-cell responses are associated with alcohol consumption in patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23424168 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) have antibodies directed to alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), anti-ADH titers being associated with disease severity and active alcohol consumption. ADH-specific T-cell responses have not been characterized. We aimed to define anti-ADH cellular immune responses and their association with active alcohol consumption and disease severity. Using cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 25 patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis (ARC; 12 were actively drinking or abstinent for <6 months, and 13 were abstinent for >6 months) and hepatic mononuclear cells (HMCs) from 14 patients with ARC who were undergoing transplantation, we investigated T-cell reactivity to 25 overlapping peptides representing the full human ADH protein (beta 1 subunit). ADH-specific peripheral T-cell responses were assessed by the quantification of T-cell proliferation and cytokine production and were correlated with the clinical course. In active alcohol consumers, proliferative T-cell responses targeted ADH31-95 and other discontinuous sequences in the ADH peptide, whereas only one sequence was targeted in abstinents. ADH peptides induced the production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and IL-17. IL-4 production was lower in active drinkers versus abstinents, and IL-17 production was higher. Peptides inducing IFN-γ production outnumbered those inducing T-cell proliferation. The intensity of the predominantly T helper 1 (Th 1) responses directly correlated with disease severity. Similar to PBMCs in abstinents, ADH peptides induced weak T-cell proliferation and a similar level of IL-4 production in HMCs but less vigorous Th 1 and T helper 17 responses. Conclusion: This suggests that Th 1 responses to ADH in ARC are induced by alcohol consumption. A Th 1/T helper 2 imbalance characterizes T-cell responses in active drinkers with ARC, whereas IL-4 production prevails in abstinents. This identifies new targets for immunoregulatory therapies in ALD patients for halting detrimental effector T-cell responses, which may encourage liver fibrogenesis and progression to end-stage liver disease.

NP-Doctor Co-Management of Geriatric Cases Leads to Improved Outcomes
New research finds that geriatric patients with chronic conditions may have better outcomes if their cases are co-managed by a nurse practitioner (NP) and a physician than by a physician alone.
David Reuben, MD, chief of the Geriatrics Division in the Department of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, reports on the research leading to that conclusion in the June 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Reuben and colleagues studied the cases of 485 patients who had one of four chronic conditions: falls; urinary incontinence (UI); dementia/Alzheimer's disease; or depression. Some of their cases were managed by doctors alone, and others were co-managed by doctors and NPs.
The researchers then examined individual patients' charts, assessing the quality of their care using several specific quality indicators. They found that patients whose cases were co-managed generally had better care, and significantly better care for some conditions. "Quality scores for all conditions (falls, 80 percent vs. 34 percent; UI, 66 percent vs. 19 percent; dementia, 59 percent vs. 38 percent) except depression (63 percent vs. 60 percent) were higher for individuals who saw a NP," they wrote.
Turn-Turn-Turning the Tables on a Pervasive Problem in Long-Term Care
Tracey L. Yap, PhD, RN, CNE, WCC, is an assistant professor at the Duke University School of Nursing, a John A. Hartford Foundation Claire M. Fagin Fellow, and a senior fellow at the Duke University Center for Aging and Human Development. With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI), Yap and her co-investigators developed a cost-effective, nurse-led intervention that aimed to reduce the prevalence of pressure ulcers in long-term care facilities by increasing resident mobility through a musical prompting system specifically tailored to each facility. This is part of a series of posts for National Nurses Week, highlighting how nurses are driving quality and innovation in patient care.
It started with a boombox and the Byrds.
Those are hardly the first things that come to mind when you think about pressure ulcers, also referred to as bed sores—the wounds that are caused by continuous, unrelieved pressure on the skin and that often develop in people who have impaired mobility. Yet that's just how my husband, a physician who has a large population of patients in long-term care, inspired this research by suggesting that I pursue a grant related to this serious issue.
At one long-term care facility, my husband had a maintenance person use a boombox over the public address system to play "Turn, Turn, Turn" at two-hour intervals. It was a creative, simple, and fun way to remind staff to move patients, and it appeared to be effective in preventing pressure ulcers.
We were in Kentucky at the time, and I was teaching at the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing. When I took my husband's suggestion and applied for an INQRI grant, it radically changed my life—and the lives of many long-term care residents—for good. In my PhD studies, I'd focused on occupational health, and the INQRI grant helped me apply that knowledge in a new way and ultimately led to my current work at Duke University.

Survey of Nurses: Hospitals' Patient Safety Programs Lacking
A new survey of hospital nurses in the United States, the United Kingdom, and China finds that nurses lack confidence in their hospitals' safety programs.
The online survey, conducted by a research firm for the American Nurses Association (ANA) and GE Healthcare, included 500 respondents from the United States and 200 each from the United Kingdom and China. Each country's responses were given equal weight in the final results. Among the findings:
- Ninety-four percent of nurses report that their hospitals have programs in place that promote patient safety, but only 57 percent believe those programs are effective.
- Just 41 percent describe their hospital as "safe."
- Ninety percent of nurses believe it is important that nurses not be penalized for reporting errors or near misses, but 59 percent agree that nurses often hold back in reporting patient errors in fear of punishment (67 percent in the United States, 62 percent in the United Kingdom, and 49 percent in China). Sixty-two percent agree that nurses often hold back in reporting near misses for the same reason (69 percent in the United States, 65 percent in the United Kingdom, and 54 percent in China).
- Thirty-three percent of nurses said that "poor communication among nurses at handoff" has increased the risk of patient safety incidents in their hospitals in the past 12 months. Thirty-one percent said "poor communication with doctors" has also increased the risk of patient safety incidents.
Quotable Quotes about Nursing, March 2013
This is part of the March 2013 issue of Sharing Nursing's Knowledge.
"[W]e continue to be stretched in terms of being able to fill the demand... I know, particularly in the Dayton area, there is a need for mental health nurse practitioners. We have recently partnered with the Veterans Administration to develop a pysch mental health practitioner program that will help meet the need of all our returning veterans, many of whom have depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other problems related to having served in a particular conflict and who are trying to re-integrate into society."
-- Rosalie Mainous, PhD, APRN, NNP-BC, dean, School of Nursing, Wright State University and RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow, Wanted: Specialty Nurses, Springfield News-Sun, February 22, 2013
"We need to be keeping more data, recording our expertise and speaking up for ourselves so when people say quality of care, they will also say, quality of nursing."
-- Susan B. Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, RWJF senior adviser for nursing, Nurses Need to Pull Up a Seat at the Table, Hassmiller Says, Lund Report, February 20, 2013

What Should Health Professionals Know About Handoffs?
Michael D. Cohen, PhD, is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Investigator Award in Health Policy Research, and the William D. Hamilton Professor of Complex Systems, Information and Public Policy at the University of Michigan School of Information.
Handoffs are a critical link in maintaining continuity of care during a hospital stay. Whenever there is a shift change, or when a patient moves between departments (such as from an Emergency Room to an inpatient unit), there should be communication between the personnel who have been caring for the patient, and those who are to assume responsibility. These handoffs have to be done effectively. Root cause analyses of sentinel events find communication breakdowns to be major contributing factors nearly two-thirds of the time, and a large fraction of those problems occur during handoffs.
It seems logical that nurses and doctors should receive some training in how to conduct these vital conversations, but in interviews during my research on handoffs, it has been rare to find a practitioner who learned anything in nursing or medical school about how to hand off effectively.
The Need for Pluralism
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Human Capital Blog is asking diverse experts: What is and isn't working in health professions education today, and what changes are needed to prepare a high-functioning health and health care workforce that can meet the country's current and emerging needs? This post is by RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research recipients Robert L. Wears, MD, PhD, a professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Florida, and Kathleen M. Sutcliffe, PhD, The Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.
There are many aspects to the problem of what is or is not working in health professionals' education today, and the changes needed to address them. From our view as researchers studying issues of safety, resilience, and managing for the unexpected, some of the more important are that health professionals' education is seriously deficient in the social sciences; is limited almost exclusively to largely positivist ideas about what counts as scientific activity; and is almost totally devoid of the humanities.
None of these deficiencies are new, and that is what concerns us. The lack of engagement with the sciences of safety, and of human and organizational performance, has implications for practice, for safety, and for understanding and creating actionable knowledge.
With respect to practice, for example, without sufficient exposure to humanities and social sciences we risk socializing people to become authoritative but inhuman techno-nerds, even if they didn't start out that way.
With respect to safety, we risk training people in positivistic methods and research approaches that oversimplify and even miss local contextual specifics that create real threats to safety.
With respect to understanding and knowledge creation, we risk training people to revere scientific and technical rationality and 'objectivity' at the expense or even denial of any sort of constructivist or interpretive understanding.
QSEN: Ready for a New Home
Linda Cronenwett, PhD, RN, FAAN, is the Beerstecher-Blackwell Professor and former dean, School of Nursing, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since its creation in 2005, she has led the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In Tucson last week, more than 400 educators from nursing education and practice settings celebrated a transition in leadership for the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) website and National Forum. As of August 2012, support for these important resources will transfer from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to Case Western Reserve University's (CWRU) Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing.
Seven years ago, a small committed group of people began work aimed at altering nursing professional identity formation so that a new type of nursing school graduate would be developed—someone who would come into the workforce with the knowledge and skills necessary to both deliver excellent care to individuals and continuously improve the health care systems in which they work. We worked hard to build the will to change, generate ideas about how to develop each of six quality and safety competencies, and support execution through changes in accreditation of programs. And just before our third QSEN National Forum, publishers Wiley-Blackwell released the new book, Quality and Safety in Nursing, edited by Gwen Sherwood, PhD, RN, FAAN, and Jane Barnsteiner, PhD, RN, FAAN.
Building the Body of Research in the Science of Nursing Care
Happy National Nurses Week! The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has a proud history of supporting nurses and nurse leadership, so this week, the RWJF Human Capital Blog is featuring posts by nurses, including leaders from some of our nursing programs. This post is by Mary Naylor, PhD, RN, FAAN, director of the RWJF Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative program and the Marian S. Ware Professor in Gerontology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing.
Nurses—the largest group of health professionals in the country—have a tremendous impact on health and health care. But despite the immense size and influence of the nursing workforce, we don't know enough about how nurses can improve the quality and safety of care and reduce costs.
Nurse scientists have been exploring these questions for decades, but large gaps in knowledge remain. Since it was established in 2005, the Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI), funded by RWJF, has worked to address those gaps in our knowledge of nursing care.
Over the last seven years, INQRI grantees—teams of nurse scientists and scholars from other disciplines—have conducted groundbreaking research focused on the ways in which nurses affect the quality of care patients receive and how they improve patient care and outcomes.
The interdisciplinary nature of the project has been key to its success; when scholars from multiple disciplines come together to solve problems in nursing care, they generate solutions that are grounded in rigorous evidence, that take into account diverse perspectives, and that use various methodological techniques. In short, interdisciplinary research leads to more robust findings. And more robust findings are more likely to attract investments in nursing resources, which will, in turn, improve health outcomes while reducing costs.
As program leaders, we don't just talk the interdisciplinary talk; we walk it too.
RWJF-Funded Issue of Health Affairs: Still Crossing the Quality Chasm
Ten years ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued Crossing the Quality Chasm, a landmark report calling for major quality and safety improvements in the nation's health care system. It came on the heels of the IOM's 1999 To Err Is Human Report, which estimated that there are 44,000 to 98,000 error-induced hospital deaths each year. That report made an urgent and compelling case that improvement was needed.
In the years since, quality and safety have been top-of-the-agenda priorities for researchers, clinicians and policy-makers alike. With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), this April's issue of Health Affairs takes a look at where things stand today, assessing a decade's worth of progress toward safer, more effective, patient-centered health care. In a series of articles, several by RWJF scholars and alumni, the issue examines a range of related topics supporting the theme of the issue, "still crossing the quality chasm." In an overview, Editor-in-Chief Susan Dentzer writes,
As a number of articles in the issue demonstrate, there's no doubt we've made progress—but it's also clear that making any headway has been agonizingly slow. If ever the state of high-quality health care appeared to be an achievable end point, we recognize now that—to paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson—quality, like life, is not a destination but a journey.

As many people will be aware, there are many reasons to go to local VMUG meetings. Many people may not be aware that there is a new VMware User Group being started in the South West. Based in Bristol, the South West UK VMUG aims to bring the best of virtualization, technology, chat, networking opportunities and general cool stuff to the whole of the bottom left side of the UK. We aim to hold 3 free events in the city each year, with the first scheduled for 18th February 2014.
But why come along? Amongst many others, here are the top 5 reasons for coming to the South West UK VMUG meeting:
We are super lucky to be kicking off our meetings with a keynote speech by Joe Baguley, Chief Technology Officer of EMEA for VMware. Aside from running a huge company like VMware, Joe is a very ardent supported of local VMUGs, and we've been very lucky to secure some of his time. Joining Joe in the speaking slots are storage technology firm and platinum event sponsors Nutanix, Nathan Prisk from Falmouth University and VMware staffers Peter von Oven and Arash Ghazanfari.
VMUG events are hugely popular and are often a gateway for people to get involved in the virtualization community. VMUGs are all about networking, communicating with other like minded individuals to form new business and technology relationships, and to expand networks to new area's – both from a technology and a geographical perspective. VMUG events attract a cross section of the business and technology world, from those just starting out to seasoned professionals who have been in the business for years, from boardroom members to junior technical staff. Everyone is invited, everyone is welcome, and nobody pays a dime!
In addition to the usual community sessions run as part of the VMUG agenda, we are also planning a coupke of extra sessions for registered attendees in the morning:
For a little post-VMUG networking, there is also a Bristol vBeers event, starting at 5pm in a local Bristol bar (the Piano & Pitcher). Sponsored by 10zig, vBeers is an opportunity to enjoy a beverage or 2 and do some more networking. Couldn't attend the afternoon sessions? Catch-up with the sponsors and find out all the latest information.
Everyone likes to get something for nothing – right? There are lots of freebies on offer at South West UK VMUG:

Every now again people have to go back on a decision that they've made and make a U-turn.
At VMworld in Barcelona, VMware have announced a reversal of their decision earlier this year to discontinue the sale of ThinApp as a standalone product.
After December 15th 2013 it would only have been possible to purchase ThinApp as a part of the Horizon Suite but these plans have now been binned and ThinApp will continue to be available as a standalone product.
To be honest, I didn't know about the original announcement when it happened but it's nice that VMware have listened to feedback and changed their stance. VMTN Subscription anyone??
ThinApp has been a version 4.x product almost since VMware acquired it in 2008. On Wednesday at VMworld version 5.0 was announced and it is expected to be generally available from the end of October 2013.
With a major version bump like this you'd rightly expect some significant changes. Perhaps the most significant of these is the inclusion of support for virtualising 64-bit applications.
There have also been some architectural changes to the level of virtualisation to increase and simplify application compatibility. Together these two enhancements are likely to mean that a greater range of applications can be virtualised – something that might have held some organisations back from adopting ThinApp in the past.
One other thing that we can apparently look forward to in ThinApp 5.0 is easier integration with persona management solutions. Great for Horizon View projects! Check out the full list of changes on this VMware blog posting.
For many I suspect, this will be a welcome and maybe long overdue release.

Stimulus transportation contracts not easy to track
Want to figure out which contractors are receiving the most stimulus dollars for road and bridge projects in Wisconsin?
Good luck.
The state agencies overseeing $529 million in stimulus transportation projects don't provide the public a way to easily track how much contractors are receiving in federal money.
We crunched the data available to create this spreadsheet so you can see where your money is going. (We will update this when more information is available.)
The state Department of Transportation maintains a list of road and bridge projects on its recovery page that include the project name, location and the general contractor that submitted the winning bid, but the contract amounts are missing. There are more than 130 state and local projects listed on the site as of Aug. 28.
The Wisconsin Office of Recovery and Reinvestment provides project names and amounts, but no contractor information.
The state recovery office plans to post the aggregated data on its Web site by the end of September, state Department of Administration spokeswoman Linda Barth said.
It's possible to take the posted list of projects on the transportation agency's site and match that up to records in monthly reports on another link on the site. Also, it's possible to match the list to online records on the Wisconsin Office of Recovery and Reinvestment site, which is coordinated by the state Department of Administration. But both of these methods would take even computer savvy citizens several hours - it took this reporter more than an hour to clean up the data to create the list.
Still, the state's transparency on stimulus spending is better than most.
In July, Wisconsin's recovery site ranked eighth nationally for its level of disclosure, according to a national report from Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Good Jobs First. The report also ranked the state's Office of Recovery and Reinvestment site 14th for its highway project funding information.
The report, called "Show Us the Stimulus," measured states against a list of criteria, such as the inclusion of data on job creation, contract awards and the geographic distribution of stimulus spending.
Wisconsin's recovery site received points for its statewide interactive map that shows funding by county, program area and allocated projects. But the site lost points because while contract award totals are listed on the recovery site, no contractor names were available.
