The American Association for Respiratory Care has designated Martha Jefferson Hospital's Respiratory Therapy Department as a 2010 Quality Respiratory Care Program.
Only about 500 hospitals, or less than 10 percent, of hospitals in the United States have received this award. The program was started by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in 2003 to help consumers identify those facilities using qualified respiratory therapists to provide respiratory care. Hospitals earning this designation ensure patients' safety by adhering to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory care services.
To qualify for the recognition, Martha Jefferson Hospital demonstrated:
The American Association for Respiratory Care program grew out of concerns regarding the safety and quality of healthcare services. Hospitals that meet the program requirements provide a level of respiratory care consistent with national standards and guidelines. A list of recognized hospitals is maintained on the association's Web site for consumers, YourLungHealth.org.

Not a long term purchase By Z on 11/24/2014
Z wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBought two of these units about five months ago. One worked fine for four months and then stopped working (all that was plugged into it was a string of LED lights), now a month later, the send one failed (two florescent fixtures were plugged into it). Based on others having similar failures, I would not recommend buying these. -
3.5 stars By Kevin on 8/23/2014
Kevin would recommend this product to a friendit is a half way decent timer for use with the brs doser's I just think there are some tweaks that could be done to make things a little better. when setting it up the if you want to make sure it runs you have to set a cycle and wait for it to cycle on and off. one of my other tweaks they could make is to have the plugs through the front of the timer in the limited space where my powers trips are its tough to put a plug in on the side of the timer, but it does work as it should and hasn't lost time in a couple of months , i am buying three more for my new build. -

Does a wonderful job!!! By A. GRANDIS on 1/14/2014
A. GRANDIS would recommend this product to a friendStill using the timers and they are just wonderful.
I've never had problems to this date.
Once I pressed a wrong bottom on the timer and it when crazy.
I don't know what bottom was pressed. :P
I used the small white reset bottom and the timer went back to normal.
I had lots of people asking me more info about the timers to be used with Kalk reactors as I do.
There are many ways to used them with different reactors…
Here are the basic tips I have for those who don't need too much Kalk:
- I make sure the time is correct on the timer and every month I correct the minor 1 or 2 min. off to keep it running perfectly on time. That isn't necessary at all to have the timer running though.
- I use the timer with the BRS 1.1ml/min. to dose Kalk very slowly into the system (drip, drip) and leave it running for the quantity of kalk I need for that particular system. That will depend on how much the system needs, really. I only leave the pump running for like 30 min max. at a time, once it's not designed to be on 24/7. I had left the pump on for 45min at a time before and never had any issues. The timer will allow 8 different time sets per day to dose.
- Never had problems running the Kalk reactor during the day and still having a fairly stable pH. The pH is still lower during the night, naturally, but it doesn't get too high during the day, when lights are on. Works great for me!!
- My system has the kalk reactor basically to keep alk and Ca levels in check for coralline algae. I don't keep hard corals.
- I do have another system with ReefKeeper running a home made type of kalk reactor today, but that is is a more complex and expensive dosing system and could be unnecessary for most people. The combination of Aquamedic Kalk reactor and the 1.1ml BRS pump with this timer is the most inexpensive way I fond to keep the needs of my tank. I don't use the 50ml/min BRS pump because it will dose Kalk too fast with the timer, once the minimum setting allowed is 1 minute. I've tried that and didn't like. Best and safest way to dose Kalk is with the drip-drip rate.
- To clean the reactor is very easy and much better than the still reservoirs with ATO system IMO, which could in some cases get clogged with the Kalk. To prevent that it would be wise to clean the line with some vinegar once an a while. with the reactor there no need for cleaning the lines once it has only fresh water going into the reactor and the clear mixed kalk solution overflows into the system through a 1/2" outlet. Never gets clogged. The reactor mixes the kalk 24/7 also, to make sure the new incoming water will get well stirred into the solution. No problem. Time saver!! It's also much easier to remove the reactor and clean a small piece of equipment than a bigger container. Remember that with the still reservoir with Kalk the bigger the container the less amount of times you'll be mixing, so the messier and hard to clean it would be. Besides, you'll need room for that. The reactor occupy a tiny foot print into your cabinet.
-The reservoir I use to feed the water to the reactor is cleaned every 6 to 12 months, if needed. I fill up the water into the small container once a week. I like to add some kalk to the reactor every 2 weeks to give it a boost. One can do that by unscrewing the cap and just lifting up to add the kalk. No need to turn if off.
- So basically to set the timer you need to figure out how many ml of Kalk you need per day and divide that by 8, setting the timer through the day for the dosing. You can set the dosing times only for the nigh, when lights are off, if you wish.
- I've tried the other brands of this type of electronic timer and they all work great!!!! I didn't see any major differences between the brands to tell the truth.
Hope this helps who wants to use the kalk reactors with timers.
Well it's working now...knock on wood By Robert on 12/30/2013
Robert would recommend this product to a friendAll I can say is that mine is working now. However after reading many of the other reviews who knows for how long. Hopefully I will not have the problems that others have had.
I feel the BRS guys only want to sell good products because they do seem to care very much for their customers. I'm sure/hope they have taken the bad reviews seriously. -
Do not buy By tony on 11/8/2013
tony wouldn't recommend this product to a friendPiece of crap mine crapped out I less than a month

Obama energy proposal drills to fund clean fuel tech, jobs
POSTED: Friday, March 15, 2013 - 3:30pm
UPDATED: Friday, March 15, 2013 - 3:44pm
WASHINGTON (CNN) — With climate change as one of his administration's top priorities and the decision on the controversial Keystone pipeline expected at any time, President Obama took his energy message to Chicago Friday.
The president pressed Congress to pass an energy proposal that the administration says would target two billion dollars over ten years to wean cars and trucks from fossil fuels to clean energy and create clean energy jobs.
"Right now, few areas hold more promise for creating good jobs and growing our economy than how we use energy, Obama told a crowd numbering 400 at the Argonne National Labs outside Chicago. The crowd was largely made up of engineers and scientists employed at by the federally-funded laboratory.
Speaking in front of three hybrid vehicles manufactured by Honda, Chevrolet, and Ford respectively, Obama pledged that the money to fund the alternative fuel research will come from increased royalties from oil and gas drilling and leasing on federal land.
The president first announced his Energy Security Trust plan at his State of the Union address last month.
"This is not a Republican idea or a Democrat idea. It's a smart idea, Obama said, noting the proposal was first introduced by a coalition of individuals that included business CEOs and former members of the military."
"We can support American ingenuity without adding a dime to our budget," he added.
White House officials were quick to point out the administration does not plan to expand drilling areas especially on the Outer Continental Shelf but instead expect increased revenues due to streamlined leasing, increased production and upward price trends.
The Energy Security Trust would require an act of Congress but White House officials said they are encouraged by early bipartisan support.
The speech followed a tour of a sprawling laboratory that included stops at a thermal test chamber and at prototype hybrid engine. He also met with longtime engineers at the facility. Obama later joked he had hoped he'd come out of the thermal chamber "looking like the Hulk."
Obama also took the opportunity to rail against the so-called sequester, warning that new research projects at laboratories like Argonne would be halted for at least two years if the cuts are allowed to continue.
"Imagine what that means when China, and Germany, and Japan are all continuing to plump up their research and we are just sitting there doing nothing," he said.
The White House says this is just the latest in the president's "all above" energy approach. The Environmental Protection Agency Friday is expected to release a new report which the administration says underscores the progress made on the clean energy front including EPA estimates that CO2 emissions have decreased by 13% in the past five years and that fuel economy standards have increased by 16%.

A bike GPS tracker that automatically reports a crash to contacts, alerts you if tampered with, iOS/Android/Web friendly with open API. Read more
A bike GPS tracker that automatically reports a crash to contacts, alerts you if tampered with, iOS/Android/Web friendly with open API.
About this project
The BikeSpike is backed by the world's smallest GPS chipset with a built-in antenna, an on-board accelerometer, and a connection to a global cellular network.
"Like LoJack and OnStar for your bike" - Mashable
"The best idea yet for recovering your stolen bikes" - Commute by Bike"
What does it do?
- Monitor your bike's location on a map using your phone or computer, (native iOS and android app included)
- Collision detection system can alert key members of your contact list and share the location of an accident.
- Grant temporary access to local law enforcement, helping increase the chances of recovery.
- Digitally "lock" your bike and receive a notification if your bike moves from its geo-fenced location or if someone even tampers with it
- Share your stats (distance, speed, and courses...) with friends, coaches and spectators.
- Monitor your children and get notified if they ride out of their safe zone.
- Our open API allows developers to create gaming and fitness apps that you can download and use with the device or use the data created from the BikeSpike to integrate with the existing apps you already love. Export a GPX file.
- PLUS, with the Hacker Pack, you can connect it to a motorcycle or other on-board batteries for a continual charge.
Our hardware/software solution will send an alert to key members of your contacts lists in the event of an accident, behave like a digital guard waiting to back if disturbed, and of course give your bike the best chance it's ever had at being recovered. Help improve your city, be a part of our global cycling community, and protect your ride, Spike your Bike!
Coverage and Plan Details
All purchasable tiers with the BikeSpike device ship with 1 or 2 years of pre-enrolled service in the U.S. at their promotional prices. (See map for coverage details). If we reach 300k, we will undergo EU Certifications and unlock additional tiers that provide coverage in Europe. At each additional reach goal, we will unlock corresponding territories.
The 'Urban Commuter' plan covers the cellular data provided by our carrier partners. It is an essential piece of the BikeSpike, empowering the device to report your daily rides and assist with recovery when stolen.
The 'Pro Plan' gives you all of the benefits of the 'Urban Commuter' plan plus the power to activate live updates during your training and racing. It also allows you to publish your ride and create public races against other users. The Pro Plan also unlocks essential tools for coaches and fleet management operations.
Once your Kickstarter promotion plan ends (either 1 or 2 years from arrival), standard rates will apply.
Each BikeSpike will ship with a AC wall charger. Casual rides will need to recharge the device about once per month. Notifications can be set up when the battery level reaches a low charge.

Risks and challenges
Cellular Certifications
Cellular carriers require that we certify the BikeSpike for use on their network, this is part of the reason we need your help! Although we're partnering with pre-compliance testing houses and antenna matching services that guarantee certification, it may take more additional time than initially quoted. The upside is our current partnerships would prevent us from having to waste any additional money on these certifications.
Production Manufacturer Selection
While we have relationships with local manufacturers for our development boards, we may need to switch to larger manufacturers based on product demand (which we hope to be huge!). This switch takes time, but will allow us to accommodate everyone that wants a BikeSpike. Our team has prior experience performing first article inspection of parts in Chinese manufacturing lines, and we can't wait to see Shenzhen's electronics markets again!
Quality Control
With any manufacturing partner there is the possibility that our initial runs do not meet our standards. Additional time may be required as we work with our partners to ensure that your BikeSpike is perfect.
API Availability
We plan on having our core API available for developers before launch, but some of the super sweet API features may require additional work to ensure that they're bullet-proof.
Firmware Revisions
Our BikeSpike prototypes successfully transmit accelerometer and GPS data from inside the urban canyon that is Chicago. However, we can only ride so far. We'd love to get our devices in as many hands as possible. We're in the process of lining up beta testers, and our team is capable of addressing any issues these testers may find.
Our team has invaluable experience in product design, development, and manufacturing fields. Our advisory board of seasoned entrepreneurs and strategists have scaled businesses from small ideas into multi-million dollar enterprises. Both our professional and educational networks coupled with our strategic partners give us more than just a leg up in regards to overcoming these and any unforeseen obstacles.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
The rates that you have pledged for are yours to keep for the life of the product! We wanted to make sure that those of you that have already taken a leap with us know that the rate that you've locked in, is the rate get to keep.
Technically yes, however the BikeSpike is specifically designed for the cycling community. It will report its location everywhere in our coverage map.
Yes. If we meet our reach coverage goals. Our reach goal of 300k will unlock tiers that support 27 countries in the European Union. Help us raise enough money to support Canada, Australia, and South America too!
The BikeSpike is an additional layer of security that can tip the owner off the moment it is moved from it's geo-fenced location. It is NOT meant to replace any locking system. Part of the success of the BikeSpike is due to it's stealth location which can be nicely cloaked with our custom water bottle cage. In addition, the BikeSpike will ship with security fasteners and a special installation tool. The user can tune the sensitivity of the accelerometer to notify them if the orientation of the parked device changes. This could detect a locked bike falling to the ground or someone tampering with the device. To enable this feature, the user can chose to mark the parked bike and digitally "lock" it.
Assuming a thief was aware of the hidden BikeSpike device and had the special security installation tool, it would take an ample amount of time for them to remove the device. Also, any manual attack by thieves would run the risk of damaging the frame of the bike they wish to steal. Think of the BikeSpike in the same way you think of a guard dog in your home. Knowing that there is a defender ready to bark is something that gives intruders a reason to leave your house alone. Our device will push a notification to the owner, if tampered with or disturbed giving the owner additional peace of mind. The owner of the BikeSpike can adjust what constitutes as an alert, to their own taste. Examples: Your bike falling on it's side, an inconsiderate fellow biker banging into your bike as they lock theirs to a rack, all can prompt an alert.

A skin abscess is a build up of pus in or on the skin.
Abscess - skin; Cutaneous abscess; Subcutaneous abscess
Skin abscesses are common. They occur when an infection causes pus to collect in the skin.
Skin abscesses may occur after:
A skin abscess may occur anywhere on the body. The problem affects people of all ages.
Symptoms may include:
Your health care provider can diagnose the problem by looking at the affected area. The drainage from the sore may be sent to the lab for a culture. This can help identify the cause of the infection.
You can apply moist heat (such as warm compresses) to help the abscess drain and heal faster. DO NOT push and squeeze on the abscess.
The health care provider may cut open the abscess and drain it.
You may need to take antibiotics by mouth to control the infection.
Most skin abscesses can be cured with proper treatment. Infections caused by methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA) are do not respond to regular antibiotics and need special medicines.
Call your health care provider if you have any signs of skin infection, including:
Talk to your health care provider if you develop new symptoms during or after treatment for a skin abscess.
Keep the skin around minor wounds clean and dry to prevent infection. Call your health care provider if you notice signs of infection. Take care of minor infections promptly.

We support biblical standards of morality, recognizing that no form of immorality is a sin worse that any other. Sexual sin can be overcome by the grace of God. The road out of sexual and relational brokenness can be a long journey, often filled with confusion, frustration, and temptation. Without support, most people would not make it. Worthy Creations is called to minister to men and women seeking relational wholeness and victory over sexual sin, to help families and loved ones of those affected by various forms sexual brokenness, and to help the church deal with more effectively with these concerns.

I'd seen the beautiful cover of Vintage Notions, but I'd never had the chance to really sit down with the book. It was right up my alley. It's not necessarily a pattern book (although there is a great collection of vintage patterns with diagrams included in the book), but more of an "inspirational guide to Needlework, Cooking, Sewing, Fashion and Fun" featuring gorgeous images of vintage illustrations, textiles, and, of course, notions.

Here is a list of US school shootings I found. I think if you look at them, mostly are suicides, with no other deaths or injuries.

So, I guess to calculate a real result, you'd need a definition of what constituted a "mass murder" at school, then go from there. By this list, I would say the odds are much greater than 1:100,000. Interesting question, however.

Yes OraProNobis, I am pissed off as a taxpayer just as much with corparate bailout abuse, and other waste in the government. I saw yesterday where 5700 pieces of terrorist equipment being stored and unused for years, at a cost of $184M. The bank bailouts were a joke, and AIG spending money on a 5-star resort was blantant. The CEO's still took an annual bonus, and refused to give it back. The Auto industry CEO's flew on corporate jets to Washington to ask Congress for bailout money, and were sent home to return by commercial aircraft or drive. They still gave them the money after a dog and pony show.
I'm happy to read that the waste of tax dollars on all levels irks you greeney2.
As far as octomom goes, I think its a great idea that a trustee be appointed to monitor her spending.

We are conditioned from youth to worship the summer seasons. But there's no denying that this blessedly school-free time comes at a cost. Bugs, muggy 99.9% humidity, and the occasional dive into upper the 90's makes these months nearly insufferable. What is the normal response to all of this? Either we hole up in our air conditioned houses, essentially an environment-controlled box to separate us from that darned nature, or we get out in search of a way to beat the heat.
Swimming in pools or beaches, laying out by fountains, anything we can think of to drop that infernal temperature. Unfortunately, that sun is still out to get us, whatever we do. Sunburn. There's no better way to explain the pain than the metaphor with fire ants crawling across my skin and a quick photo:
It hurts, and so I turn to my truest friend in such a time of need. Aloe Vera does what it can, but sometimes it feels like it won't be enough. Ever. Maybe this is it, I've entered into eternal suffering that will only be assuaged by avoiding the outdoors.
Sitting around my A/C box, pacing back and forth, avoiding mirrors and steamy showers, I look at the window. Through the window. Out the window. It's out there, it's pleasant, and it's nature. How can I pass it up? It's only in this state once a year, and it would be foolish to ignore it while I don't have classes, right? I get my towel and book.

Stainless Steel Salt & Pepper Mill
Fell apart in less than a year
I was really excited about this grinder because I could have my salt and pepper in one unit. For almost a year it worked great, though I was started to get tired of regular refilling due to the small size of each compartment. Then it started failing. First, one of the lids started being so loose that it fell off as soon as it was turned over. Then the grind adjuster on one side started coming off and I would have to put it back on and readjust every time I used it. The last straw was when I was cooking and the grind adjuster, grind mechanism, and spring just fell out and into my sauce! Luckily it was the pepper side so I got a few whole peppercorns instead of a pile of salt, but this thing is now in the trash and I'm shopping for something that will last more than a year.

Bachelor's in Education for Working Adults
The Division of Teacher Education at Felician College has a unique and innovative program designed to meet the needs of adults who want to earn a bachelor's degree and become certified to teach. This program is perfect for teacher's aids, paraprofessionals, substitute teachers, working individuals looking for a career change, or stay-at-home parents who want to prepare for a career in education.
Through this program you will earn a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with a co-major in English. This will allow you to become certified to teach at the pre-school through 5th grade level. About halfway through the program, after the completion of 66 credits, you will earn an associate degree. This important milestone will make you eligible apply to as a substitute teacher in the state of New Jersey.
Taking classes just two nights a week, you can earn your degree in the evenings while having the freedom to continue working full time or tend to your other responsibilities during the day. The program is structured with 20-week semesters during the fall and spring. Each semester is divided into two 10-week blocks during each of which you will take two courses and earn six credits. This unique scheduling will allow you to remain a full time student and complete your degree in about five years. We also offer classes during the summer, allowing you to accelerate your progress and complete your degree even earlier.
Students who have already earned college credits or an associate degree through another institution may be able to transfer those credits to Felician College so they will not lose valuable time and can complete their degree more quickly.
Once in the program, you will need to maintain a cumulative overall GPA of 2.75 to continue as a Teacher Education candidate as required by the New Jersey State Department of Education. As a teacher education student, you will be held to applicable program policies and guidelines that are contained in the Felician College catalog.
Field Experience and Student Teaching
Throughout your academic program, you will be required to complete a variety of field experiences as part of the following courses: ED 115, ED 302, ED 304, and ED 400. These field placements, which are arranged through the Division of Teacher Education's Placement Office, will provide you with opportunities to experience firsthand the intricacies of the teaching profession. You will begin these field experiences once you have completed 45 Felician College credits.
If you are currently working as a teacher's aide, paraprofessional, or substitute teacher within an accredited school (ages 4 and older), you may be able to receive a waiver for ED 115. This waiver will be granted by the faculty in the Division of Education on an individual basis. If you have not worked in one of these positions in a school setting, you will be required to complete ED 115.
The program culminates with a student teaching experience. Student teaching takes place in an educational setting under the direct supervision of a cooperating teacher and a Felician College supervisor five full days per week for a period of 15 consecutive weeks. A prerequisite for enrolling in this capstone course is a passing score on the Praxis II exam.
Cohort-Based Program and Discounted Tuition Rate
The program is cohort-based, which allows you to progress toward your degree with the same individuals as a cohesive unit. This helps build a supportive network and a sense of team and community. Students find this adds to their motivation and makes learning more fun and interactive. One of the benefits of a cohort based program is that it is offered at a lower tuition rate. Students who participate in this program will be able to earn their college credits at almost 30 percent less than the cost of our traditional undergraduate programs.
Program Highlights
- Freedom to earn your Bachelor Degree in Education while meeting the other commitments of your busy life.
- Attend class two nights per week.
- Tuition reduced approximately 30% from traditional Felician tuition rate.

1 It's paramount you read this Blu-Ray specific review!lucrass | 06/01/2009 | See all lucrass's reviews (1)Firstly if you don't own this on DVD, it's brilliant I owned it on VHS, DVD and now Blu-Ray.....it's a raw and passionate glimpse into U2 at their absolute peak in the late 80's so much so they knew they could go no further and famously reinvented themselves in the early 90's. The version of Sunday bloody Sunday on this release still gives me goose bumps, so if you don't own a version of it or have not seen it buy it now!HOWEVER if you are already a DVD owner of this release, put your money down and don't make the mistake I made. Firstly to be clear I am a massive fan of Blu-Ray and High Def in general and own the high-end components to do the content justice. The other day I compared Batman Begins on DVD to the Blu-Ray release and the level of detail in comparison was astonishing...the same was true of "The Doors" (Stone -1991) a movie that on Blu-Ray looked transformed especially the desert scenes, the sound on both releases were also notably clearer with better channel separation.So my point, well out of all the U2 back-catalogue video available, Rattle and Hum is the one which you can do very little in terms of improvement...for starters 80% of it is in black and white (Blu-Ray get most of it's attention by boosting colours), the work done when releasing it from VHS to DVD included much time re-mastering and improving the picture and sound ten-fold leaving very little room for further improvements. The grainy black white scenes are still grainy, the colour scenes look very similar (and by colour remember most of the colour scenes were filmed in very blue/gray conditions)It's also worth remembering that this was intentionally filmed using casual equipment to help capture that raw spontaneous on the road feel, with almost nothing in the way of the visual effects that we have become accustomed to with this super-group, (No the famous spot-light scene during "Bullet the Blue Sky" doesn't really count). The reason well at the time U2 did not want to detract from the passion of the performances and the music itself....of course a few later years they lightened up and became the most visual band in the world with first Zoo TV then the POP extravaganza.....that's what needs to be released in high def from paramount and hopefully will be, but this Blu-Ray release, well this is bit of a farce.
4 A Must For FansCityColt | 28/07/2007 | See all CityColt's reviews (1)Widely ignored on it's cinematic release, Rattle & Hum deserves a second viewing, especially on Blu Ray. At a time when U2 were clearly riding on the crest of global wave, this documentary includes a few cringe-worthy moments. However, the songs are the real stars, especially the live performances. Essential for fans.
3 U2's finest houreiricd | 12/11/2009 | See all eiricd's reviews (11)pq is 1 star, maybe 2. but the rest is easily 5 stars.it's true that the film quality isn't very good. but it's still better than the dvd version. and the HD audio track is brilliant.this is, for me, U2 at their best. before Bono became as big as the Pope, and before they went away from their original sounds that made the first albums which by many are regarded as their best .so you're left with a very good band, and a singer who was, in my opinion, at his best around this period.the black & white makes the film more timeless (check out the gig in colour in the joshua tree box - which looks so much more dated cause of outfits etc). and it contains some great moments; larry mullen talking about elvis, bono being in awe when BB King praises his lyrics (maybe the last time Bono was in awe of something?), probably the best version of Running to stand still, and many other great things.Get this, not for the picture quality, but for EVERYTHING else.

Lupus nephritis is a kidney disorder that is a complication of systemic lupus erythematosus .
Nephritis - lupus; Lupus glomerular disease
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus) is an autoimmune disease. This means there is a problem with the body's immune system.
Normally, the immune system helps protect the body from infection or harmful substances. But in patients with an autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot tell the difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. As a result, the immune system attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue.
SLE may damage different parts of the kidney, leading to interstitial nephritis , nephrotic syndrome , and membranous GN . It may rapidly worsen to kidney failure.
Lupus nephritis affects approximately 3 out of every 10,000 people. In children with SLE, about half will have some form or degree of kidney involvement.
More than half of patients have not had other symptoms of SLE when they are diagnosed with lupus nephritis.
SLE is most common in women ages 20 - 40. For more information, see: systemic lupus erythematosus .
Symptoms of lupus nephritis include:
For general lupus symptoms, see the article on SLE .
A physical exam shows signs of decreased kidney functioning with body swelling (edema). Blood pressure may be high. Abnormal sounds may be heard when the doctor listens to your heart and lungs.
Tests that may be done include:
This list may not be all-inclusive.
A kidney biopsy is not used to diagnose lupus nephritis, but to determine what treatment is appropriate.
The goal of treatment is to improve kidney function and to delay kidney failure.
Medicines may include corticosteroids or other medications that suppress the immune system, such as cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, or azathioprine.
You may need dialysis to control symptoms of kidney failure, sometimes for only a while. A kidney transplant may be recommended. People with active lupus should not have a transplant because the condition can occur in the transplanted kidney.
How well you do depends on the specific form of lupus nephritis. You may have flare-ups, and then times when you do not have any symptoms.
Some people with this condition develop chronic kidney failure.
Although lupus nephritis may return in a transplanted kidney, it rarely leads to end-stage kidney disease.
Call your health care provider if you have blood in the urine or swelling of your body.
If you have lupus nephritis, call your health care provider if you notice decreased urine output .
There is no known prevention for lupus nephritis.

The recent tweaks makes the combat a lot better, and though the combat does get a bit repetitive, you kind of expect that kind of combat in a sandbox multiplayer, it's certainly not as boring as some game combat at least, and it's far from the worst. I bought it on sale, so I'm also very generous with my opinion of it.

5 Charlaine's back on form!natalilly | 06/05/2011 | See all natalilly's reviews (9)I've been a huge fan of the Southern Vampire Mysteries for a while now, and so when 'Dead in the Family' came out I was desperate to read it. I devoured it in a day and was massively disappointed, I said "she's lost it, that was terrible." So when my husband bought me 'Dead Reckoning' this week, I was reluctant to read it. Then curiosity got the better of me and I devoured it in a few hours. What a good book! I think Dead Reckoning is one of my favourite SVM books. There's action, mystery, suspense (I was actually holding my breath at several points) and lots of humour. 'Dead Reckoning' is most definitely a page-turner, and I can see myself reading it again several times before book 12 is released. Oh, and there's a nice mucky scene for fans who like that sort of thing ;)
5 Brillshazzalou86 | 13/05/2011 | See all shazzalou86's reviews (3)Just finished reading this (received yesterday couldnt put it down lol) glad to see that we're finally learning more about Sookie now but sad that there will only be 2 more books after this :'( . All in all this is a brill book to the series (like they all are!) All a must read if your into the True blood program.
5 Back to her bestSooz71 | 12/05/2011 | See all Sooz71's reviews (5)I felt a bit let down by Dead in the Family but this was still a must read for me. This was Ms Harris back to her best - there was a good solid story behind it although I felt the book should have been longer - but this is only because I didn't want it to finish as I now have to wait months to find out what happens!!! All in all another brilliant chapter in Sookies life - I want to know what is going to happen with her love life now!!
5 Harris back to her best!!Tucker76 | 08/05/2011 | See all Tucker76's reviews (13)The Sookie Stackhouse series of books has to be my favourite ever and I have devoured each and every one . . until Book 10 which was very disappointing, unloved, and left me wondering could the author return to form after such a poor story. I am pleased to say YES SHE HAS!!Book 11 is Harris at her best and you will not be able to put it down. I worried that when I pre-ordered it wouldn't live up to my high expectations but it really has. It is fast paced, exciting, chock full of action and left me wanting more . . . . the scene has been set for book 12 and it looks like it could well be amazing!! - Don't be put off if Book 10 let you down, Book 11 more than makes up for it :)
5 Brilliant!pixie5979 | 08/05/2011 | See all pixie5979's reviews (20)I have the entire series of Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood books and love them all. Dead Reckoning is no exception. From the 1st page i was hooked and couldn't put it down.Charlaine Harris has such talent and brings each character and experience to life through her writing.Can't wait for the next one, highly recommended to everyone!

Facebook Helps Reunite Sisters After 40 Years
A disaster tore five siblings apart. Decades later thanks to the power of the Internet and the kindness of strangers an amazing reunion took place.
By Abigail Pesta

The memory haunted Tessa Ferguson for years: a baby girl her little sister in the arms of a stranger, disappearing through a doorway. Ferguson remembers the child reaching for her, crying, arms outstretched and then she was gone.
Today, some 40 years later, Ferguson sits on her porch in Indiana, describing the unusual chain of events that separated the sisters all those years ago. Their family home in rural Kentucky had caught fire, vanishing in a sudden blaze. Their parents had not survived, and the five kids were adopted by various families. Over the years, four of them had found each other, but the baby sister remained the missing link. "I thought I would never see her again," Ferguson says. "I thought I would take that memory of her to my grave."
Last spring, Ferguson decided it was time to fight that fate, find her sister, and override that old memory of the disappearing girl. "That image was always in the back of my mind," she says, swaying on a porch swing, a chorus of cicadas buzzing from the trees. "I'd had nightmares about it all my life; I'd hear a baby crying, calling to me."
The tale of how Ferguson launched a search for her sister and unraveled a lifelong family mystery is a testament to both modern technology and the old-fashioned kindness of strangers. Her journey began last spring with a plea on Facebook: Help me find my sister. The post set into motion a wild and at times traumatic endeavor involving friends, neighbors, kooks, and a woman who called herself a "search angel." At first, Ferguson thought the "angel" might be a nut. "I heard from a lot of crackpots," she says. "You don't know who to trust." But as it turned out, this extraordinary woman, Char Summers, held the key to solving the family puzzle.
Blond with hazel eyes, an easy smile, and a slight Midwestern lilt, Ferguson tells her story at her home in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, where she has lived since she was a girl. As a child, she knew she had been adopted at around age 5, along with her sister Becky Hilliard, who is about a year older. But the girls didn't know much about their biological parents just that they'd died in a mysterious fire. They also knew they had other siblings. "But we didn't know how many," she says, "or where they all were."
Ferguson, now 44, recalls having childhood doubts about her history. She did have a fuzzy memory of a fire, but questioned things her adoptive family said. She wondered whether they'd made up the story about the fire because her biological parents just hadn't wanted her. "It was one of those childhood fears," she says.
Still, she didn't dwell on those confusing thoughts. She was a happy girl, filling her days with volleyball and cheerleading. She married a guy she'd known since she was a kid, Barry Ferguson, and together they raised three children. She worked as a hairstylist and later as a volunteer emergency medical technician, and she kept in touch with her older sister, who lived nearby. Sometimes she wondered about those scattered siblings, but mostly she focused on the demands of daily life.
Connecting the Dots
Fifteen years ago, some siblings came calling. An ad popped up in a local newspaper, catching the eye of Ferguson's father-in-law: A family in Kentucky was looking for two sisters named Tessa and Becky who possibly lived in southern Indiana. "The ad came from out of nowhere," Ferguson says. Her first reaction: fear. She wasn't sure she wanted to meet this other family. "I told my husband I didn't want to go," she says. "What would I find out? I didn't know who these people were. There's a fear of what you will learn." But she knew she had to follow through. Within days of seeing the ad, she traveled to the hills of Kentucky to a tiny rural community called Saul with her husband, her sister, and the rest of her clan, feeling "every emotion known to man, rolled into one."
There, she met another older sister, Dena Barger, and an older brother, Frank Williams, who knew the family history. "They bombarded me with so much information," Ferguson says. "It was overwhelming; I didn't know what was real. A few hours into it, I was like, 'Enough, enough I need time to absorb this.' " They told her there were five siblings in all, and that the youngest, Raylene, was unaccounted for. They also shared the names of their birth parents Frank and Letha Williams and the dramatic story of what had happened to them.
In 1973, Ferguson's father had been working beneath the family home, a cabin built into a hillside on posts. While trying to level the house, he had accidentally set off a gas explosion, and the house came crashing down on top of him. Ferguson's mother, who had somehow managed to get all the kids out of the house, was severely burned and later died in the hospital. Now orphaned, the children were scattered among relatives and adoptive parents, as no one could take all five; Ferguson, 4 at the time, and Raylene, a little over 1, were the youngest. Their community was poor, a land of "moonshiners and bootleggers," says Ferguson's husband.
After the fire, Ferguson's brother, Frank, went to live with an uncle in Ohio and her sister Dena with a grandmother in Kentucky; the three youngest girls settled temporarily with another relative, then went into foster care. Ultimately, Ferguson and her older sister Becky were adopted by one family and Raylene by another one thus the image Ferguson had carried with her over the years, of the baby girl being whisked away to her new family. "It left a deep emotional scar, seeing my little sister crying and going out the door," Ferguson says softly.
At the Kentucky reunion, Ferguson visited the graves of her parents, a very emotional experience. "It was like running at full speed into a brick wall it hit me so hard that they were dead, that everything I had been told was true," she says. "I cried until I didn't have an ounce of energy left." She also visited the site where the family home had once stood. "I thought, This was our view," she says of the hillside.
And a relative showed her a photo she had never thought she'd see a blurry black-and-white shot of her entire family, in front of her grandmother's home. "It was the first photo I'd seen from [that period of] my childhood," she says. It also revealed another secret: Her mother had been pregnant at the time of the fire.
Ferguson left the reunion with mixed feelings she was glad she had met her siblings, but devastated by the details of her parents' fate. "I battled some major depression. That was when I started really grieving my parents' death," she says. Over the years, she kept in touch with her siblings, eventually falling back into her busy family routine. "But I didn't feel complete," she says. Her little sister was still out there somewhere.
