When searching for a warehouse management system, it is important to get all of the facts before making an investment. Sure, in-depth knowledge of what a WMS offers in terms of functionality and flexibility is valuable but will only get you so far. Speaking to WMS references is an invaluable part of the process and can be key to narrowing down your vendor list.Posted on 02/18 at 04:39 AM

The FMCSA is committed to getting unsafe truckers off the road, and Administrator Ferro has, in essence, put shippers on notice. Stop playing Russian Roulette with trucks! If your company uses even one unsafe carrier, and something bad happens, your company will pay a price and (in the words of Administrator Ferro) be "held accountable."

Expert-reviewed information summary about the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes.
A myelodysplastic syndrome is a group of symptoms that includes cancer of the blood and bone marrow. In a healthy person, the bone marrow makes blood stem cells (immature cells) that become mature blood cells over time. A blood stem cell may become a myeloid stem cell or a lymphoid stem cell. A myeloid stem cell becomes one of three types of mature blood cells:
A lymphoid stem cell becomes a white blood cell.
Blood cell development. A blood stem cell goes through several steps to become a red blood cell, platelet, or white blood cell.
In a patient with a myelodysplastic syndrome, the blood stem cells (immature cells) do not become healthy red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. The immature blood cells, called blasts, do not work the way they should and either die in the bone marrow or soon after they go into the blood. This leaves less room for healthy white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets to form in the bone marrow. When there are fewer healthy blood cells, infection, anemia, or easy bleeding may occur.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get a disease; not having risk factors doesnât mean that you will not get a disease. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk. Risk factors for myelodysplastic syndromes include the following:
The cause of myelodysplastic syndromes in most patients is not known.
Myelodysplastic syndromes often do not cause early symptoms and are sometimes found during a routine blood test. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following problems:
The following tests and procedures may be used:
See the PDQ summary on Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders Treatment for information about other blood cell diseases.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
Different types of treatment are available for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Patients with a myelodysplastic syndrome who have symptoms caused by low blood counts are given supportive care to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. Drug therapy may be used to slow progression of the disease. Certain patients can be cured with aggressive treatment with chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplant using stem cells from a donor.
Supportive care is given to lessen the problems caused by the disease or its treatment. Supportive care may include the following:
Stem cell transplant is a method of giving chemotherapy and replacing blood-forming cells destroyed by the treatment. Stem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the blood or bone marrow of a donor and are frozen for storage. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion. These reinfused stem cells grow into (and restore) the body's blood cells.
This treatment may not work as well in patients whose myelodysplastic syndrome was caused by past treatment for cancer.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for this treatment section. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with adult myelodysplastic syndromes. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Standard Treatment Options for Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Standard treatment options for myelodysplastic syndromes include:
Treatment of Therapy-Related Myeloid Neoplasms
Patients who were treated in the past with chemotherapy or radiation therapy may develop myeloid neoplasms related to that therapy. Treatment options are the same as for other myelodysplastic syndromes.
There is no standard treatment for refractory or relapsed myelodysplastic syndromes. Patients whose cancer does not respond to treatment or has come back after treatment may want to take part in a clinical trial.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with adult myelodysplastic syndromes. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug.

The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

We love reading about the innovative and ambitious – attributes shared with The Wild Geese all those years ago – and today we stumbled across this gem: Bodysurfing.
Simply put, this is surfing without the surf board. Instead, surfers equip themselves with specialised 'swimfins' which optimise propulsion and help to help direct the surfer. In the video below, Matt Larson shows us how its done.
We're sure this will push Men of Action to their limits. Over at Haraka Haraka Haina Baraka, Mark Lukach outlines just how challenging bodysurfing can be:
Aaron Lieber demonstrates Bodysurfing over at ESPN
We're going to keep our eyes peeled for those people who put bodysurfing into action.

WASHINGTON -- Ex-trainer Brian McNamee reportedly told congressional investigators he injected the wife of Roger Clemens
with human growth hormone.
The New York Daily News reports Debbie Clemens was preparing for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition photo session five years ago.
McNamee testified during his Capitol Hill deposition yesterday
that he injected Debbie Clemens at her husband's direction.
The New York Daily News cited an unidentified Washington source
on the story.
An attorney for the ex-Houston Astros standout did not directly
address the accusation when asked.
Clemens repeatedly has denied using performance enhancing drugs.
Clemens and McNamee are set to testify Wednesday at a public
hearing of the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform

How I Wrote It: Willy Vlautin, on "The Free"
The characters in Willy Vlautin's quietly brilliant new novel, The Free, embody the embattled middle class: they're wounded (physically, emotionally, financially), they're just getting by, they're hardworking.
Of course, the title is comentary in itself. None of them is free. Not the night-shift worker at the veteran's home, who's lost his home and family; not the brain-damaged Iraq War vet; not his nurse, who's also caring for her mentally ill father. They're the people who "make the rich guys richer."
Yet, strangely, the book is infused with hope. Unwilling to give up, they fight, with what little strength they've got left. Like this exchange:
Wounded vet (in a dream): "You know, my uncle said a person can only see so many bad things before it ruins him."
Girlfriend: "I hope that's not true."
With so many beautifully sad and sadly beautiful moments in this book, I still can't figure out how Vlautin did it... He made me believe they were all going to be okay.
This book started as a series of issues I couldn't stop thinking about, worrying about. The increasing expense of healthcare and how that affects the working class, soldiers coming home war with long term injuries, and the difficulties of taking care of someone with a long term illness or injury. All heavy and difficult subjects and the book about killed me as I was so worried about getting things right. There's a lot of moving parts in this one, three stories going on at the same time. That being said, I always try to cut myself some slack here and there. I put Leroy and Jeanette on a boat in one of the most beautiful places in the world, I put in the great Fado singer, Amália Rodrigues, and I've always had a thing for nurses so I put in a pretty great nurse, Pauline Hawkins.
I dedicated the book to the patron saint of nurses, Camillus de Lellis. I wrote it for him almost as a distress call in hopes he would look after the sorts of people who are in the book: the wounded soldier, Leroy, the nurse, Pauline, and Freddie the working class guy who's drowning in medical debt. Camillus de Lellis was a remarkable man. He was a soldier who was an alcoholic and gambleholic. He suffered a leg wound that would never heal and he ended up destitute in a pauper's hospital. After a time he became an orderly, then a nurse and then a priest. He helped start what we now know as the Red Cross.
As a fan I tend to like novels that follow one character through a journey. Often I'm pulled out of the story when it switches points of view. My greatest dread as a fan is when I start wondering why the writer did this or that. Even thinking about the writer isn't a good thing for me as a fan. But this story needed the three main characters and so I worked as hard as I could to make sure the transitions from character to character went as smoothly as possible. I always try to write about things that are important to me, things that haunt me or scare me or worry me. Things I can't shake. This book is the same as my others in that regard but the subject matter was more out of my comfort zone. I write about a brain damaged soldier, health care in the US, and in some degrees religion. All heavy and heated subjects, so it was a difficult book. It took me just six months to put down the first draft but then I spent three years editing it. I think I did thirteen full re-writes before I even showed it to anyone.
I have it made in that regard. I rent an office in a part of Portland called St. Johns. The room is on the second floor and two of the windows look out across the street to a bar called Slims. It opens first thing in the morning so I can watch people drink and smoke for breakfast but I don't have to. It's the best. The room has free heat and I have a desk and a couch and the side window looks out at an old movie theater. The street outside has five old man bars, a bookstore, a taqueria, a record store, and donut shop. It's heaven. I always write pretty good there, to me I feel like the luckiest person alive when I get to work there.
I've never been able to write to music. I day dream too much for it to work. I just start drifting off when there's a song I like playing. But even so a few years back I made a loop of instrumental music, atmospheric mood music. Not quite whale sounds but close. I wrote an entire novel to this 45 minute loop and it was a blast. It was probably the most fun I ever had writing, but the poor novel was so damaged and beat up and off kilter that I pulled the plug on it after the first edit. It had too many holes and dents to save. Like my mind when I listen to music, the story just sort of drifted off into the ether. It was fun as hell to write that way, but I learned my lesson.
For me it's all about not getting tired. I can go pretty good until 2 or 3 PM and then I start falling asleep. If I'm not doing good then I call it a day but if I'm on a hot streak I hit the nearby donut shop for coffee and donuts and then I plow on through until I can't think anymore.
I used to not be able to read anything similar to what I was working on, but I've changed over the years. Now I can read most anything and still stay focused on my work. But every book I write, towards the end of the editing process, I read both IRONWEED by William Kennedy and FAT CITY by Leonard Gardner. Both of those books are my guide. I read those and realize I still have a lot more work to do. They make me want to try harder and my hope is always to get closer to writing a book as good as either of those.
When I'm writing fiction I try to live pretty clean. I don't usually drink, I try to eat better and go running. It's a long haul writing a novel. I spend so many hours sitting in a room that I have to keep my shit together. I try not to look at the internet but it's hard not to as it seems like I'm always looking something up. When I used to write at the horse track the temptation was that I wanted to bet every race they had going on the TV's. Gambling's all about discipline though. I only let myself bet four races a day. Most times I was betting to break even and buy myself lunch for free but at times I'd get carried away. Nothing like being broke, having a bad day writing, and then losing fifty bucks 'cause some long shot nosed out your horse.

This was taken by video camera shortly after the Cedar Rapids tornado warning was issued. I was watching the lighting in the living room and this is what I caught. One bolt of lightning came very close to my window and took a purple appearance. You can even hear some thunder but there are several good lightning bolts that come into view. It basically looked like the 4th of July fireworks. Very cool. It is one storm I'll never forget.

it's not that I wasnt watching it, I have direct tv and my signal was knocked out by the storm. It was several hours later that my signal returned. Otherwise I'd of been watching! If I'd of had signal I would have been watching!

bought the RD - good deal - been waiting for this one - Thanks!
now waiting on Urban Farm again - should be up in a few weeks for $4.50 per year - usually goes on sale in the spring Recently, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down sections of the Defense of Marriage Act declaring it unconstitutional. This has led the way for the Federal Government to begin recognizing Same-Sex Marriages throughout the United States as being equal and as valid as any Marriage. This in itself is historic in that for the first time Same-Sex Couples are now guaranteed the same Rights and Privileges, at the Federal Level, as everyone else.
Even so, many States still have laws forbidding Same-Sex Marriages. These Laws and Constitutional Amendments will be struck down by the Courts one by one as their cases are heard. Until all Marriages performed in any State are recognized as being legitimate and valid, in Each and Every State of our Union, Marriage Equality will never come to pass. I for one want the Right to move to Florida, and have my Legal Marriage be recognized by Florida State. Think of it this way, how would you feel if you moved to another State and were told that your Marriage was no longer valid in that State, and that because of who you were, you were not even entitled to be married in that State? |

Book Description:""Boy, do I have a lot to learn!"" Anyone who's ever picked up a musical instrument of any kind—from the first caveman banging rocks to that little kid at the guitar shop—has though that. I know I did. I'd been trying for years to break in to the music scene, to show everyone my chops, to make my mark. And I was good. But I wasn't great. I knew that there was something wrong. Then the teacher showed up. I didn't ask for him. I didn't think I needed him. And all he said he could teach me was ""nothing."" What happened next, you may not believe...I sure didn't...but that didn't stop him. The Music Lesson is the inspiring story of a young bass player and the lessons he learns about Life, Music, and the Life of Music. Throughout this audiobook is new, original music written by Victor Wooten and a bonus performance by the original supergroup Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

Report by Carolina Public Press
Organizers of a forum last Thursday said they hope state leaders will reverse their decision not to expand Medicaid coverage, which, according to one estimate, would have given about 110,000 more Western North Carolinians access to the health program.They also are hoping to tap into the interest of the nearly 70 people who attended the forum to help convince state legislators to expand Medicaid coverage next year.
The Western North Carolina AIDS Project and several other health-care advocacy groups sponsored the forum, held at UNC Asheville. Organizers presented an overview of the benefits of Medicaid expansion and the insurance marketplace that will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
Enrollment for the insurance marketplace begins Oct. 1. Individuals without adequate, affordable health insurance can apply. Even if someone has coverage through their employer, they can still opt out of that plan if it doesn't cover at least 60 percent of health-care costs and if premiums are more than 9.5 percent of their household income, explained Allison Rice, an attorney at Duke Law School.
On March 6, Gov. Pat McCrory signed Senate Bill 4. The bill rejects a state-based insurance exchange and blocks Medicaid expansion in North Carolina. Hendersonville Republican Sen. Tom Apodaca was one of the bill's primary sponsors. ...

The objective of this trial is to compare the total and regional deposition of aerosol in the lungs and oropharynx of patients with COPD at 3 different inspiratory flow rates following inhalation of Berodual delivered via the Respimat inhaler and Berodual? delivered via an HFA-metered dose inhaler.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive Asthma |
Device: Berodual Respimat Device: Berodual HFA-MDI |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Bio-availability Study Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Randomised Open Label, Six Way, Cross-over Scintigraphic Evaluation of the Effect of Inspiratory Flow Rate on Lung and Oropharyngeal Deposition With the Respimat Inhaler vs. a Metered Dose Inhaler (HFA-MDI) Using Berodual in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). |
- Whole lung deposition [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Central lung zone deposition [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Intermediate lung zone deposition [ Time Frame: 10 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Peripheral lung zone deposition [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Ratio of peripheral to central zone deposition [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

- Device deposition and exhaled air filter deposition [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- FEV1 15, 30 and 60 minutes post-administration (safety only) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 19 |
Study Start Date: | September 2005 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2005 |
Primary Completion Date: | December 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
This is a single dose, randomised, active-controlled, six period, open-label cross-over trial in adult patients with COPD.
Berodual (fenoterol hydrobromide 50 g + ipratropium bromide 20 g) will be delivered via the Respimat inhaler and the MDI at 3 different inspiratory flow rates: 15 L/min, 30 L/min and 90 L/min. The optimal flow rate is expected to be 30 L/min for both inhalers.
On each test day patients will practise the inhalation manoeuvre with either a placebo Respimat or MDI inhaler. When patients can perform the inhalation technique correctly and they can obtain the required inspiratory flow rates the placebo will be replaced with the radio-labelled formulation.
The primary analysis will be carried out using the Sign Test. This is a non-parametric analysis in which no assumptions are made about the shape of the distribution of the responses from the Respimat inhaler and from the MDI under the null hypothesis.
Study Hypothesis:
The null hypothesis is that flow rate has the same effect on the Respimat and MDI inhalers. The alternative hypothesis is that flow rate has a different effect on the Respimat inhaler than on the MDI inhaler.
This means that under the null hypothesis the median of the differences between the Respimat inhaler and MDI pairs is zero i.e., the differences are equally lik ely to be positive or negative. Under the alternative hypothesis the median of the differences between the Respimat inhaler and MDI pairs is not zero i.e., the frequencies of the positive and negative signs are different.
For the primary comparison the whole lung deposition achieved for each patient at the 90 L/min flow rate will be expressed as a percentage of the whole lung deposition achieved by that patient at the 30 L/min flow rate for the Respimat and MDI inhalers separately. The difference between each pair of observations ((Respimat 90 L/min / Respimat 30 L/min) - (MDI 90 L/min / MDI 30 L/min)) will then be calculated and the sign of the direction of the difference noted i.e., positive or negative. The probability associated with the occurrence of the observed number of positive and negative differences will then be determined by reference to the binomial distribution with the probability of a positive or negative difference equal to 0.5 under the null hypothesis. If the alternative hypothesis is, however, true and flow rate does in fact have less effect on the Respimat inhaler than on the MDI inhaler, then there is likely to be a statistically significant greater number of positive differences.

A 41-year-old man used internet chat software to groom children aged 11-14 to perform sex acts, often using a false identity to trick his victims into believing he was a teen girl, according to an indictment served in the Petah Tikva District Court on Sunday.
The man, who cannot be identified because of a gag order, allegedly carried out the assaults on young teenagers over an 11-year period, starting in 2001 until his arrest earlier this year.
In one of the charges, the defendant talked to one 13-year-old victim about performing a sex act with a dog.
According to the indictment, the defendant created several false identities, usually of young girls aged 14-16 named Shiri, Gali, Alona and Natalie.
In some cases, the defendant allegedly pretended to be a teenage boy named Tomer.
In most cases, the indictment said, the defendant would introduce himself over the internet as a teenager, usually a girl slightly older and more experienced than his victims.
After gaining their trust, the defendant began to sexually assault his child victims, asking them to talk about their sexual development and offering to teach them about sex, the indictment said.
Allegedly, he then sent the girls photographs of female genitalia, which in some cases he said were pictures of himself, and asked them to reciprocate by sending him photos of themselves in the nude.
The defendant asked some of his victims to masturbate and gave them explicit instructions on what to do, even sending some of the children sexually explicit videos, the indictment said.
One of the multiple charges on the indictment allegedly took place in 2009, and relates to one of the complainants, known only as Alef, who was then 13.
After using chat software to contact Alef on the internet, pretending to be a teenage girl, the defendant began to sexually harass her, talking explicitly about sex and asking Alef to perform sex acts on herself, the indictment said.
Allegedly, when the 13-year-old girl told the defendant she was "way too young" to have sex, he said she must get ready for sex and he would help her learn, at one stage telling Alef he was considering having sex with a dog, asking her if she had a pet and suggesting a sex act she might perform with it.
The indictment said that during his conversations with Alef, the defendant sent the child pornographic photographs of a lesbian sex act, and claimed that the pictures were of him and a girlfriend. At one point, the defendant allegedly convinced Alef to send him explicit photographs of herself during a video chat.
The defendant sent those photographs of Alef to other minors he assaulted, claiming that he was Alef, the indictment alleges.
The defendant is charged with multiple counts of rape, attempted rape, sodomy, attempted sodomy, indecent assault, blackmail, threats, sexual harassment and making obscene publications.
The Central District Attorney also filed a request that the defendant be remanded in custody throughout the criminal trial.

South Dakota Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a temporary public assistance work program administered by the Department of Social Services and the Department of Labor and Regulation.
It is designed to provide temporary assistance and economic self-sufficiency for children and families.
TANF is a needs-based program for families with children under age 18 (or under age 19 if the child is in high school) who need financial support because of:
Families with serious financial needs may qualify for TANF monthly payments. Your TANF payment is based on who lives with your family, who is eligible in your household, and other income and resources available to your family. If your family's monthly TANF payment is less than $10, no payment will be issued.
TANF payments will be received electronically. Recipients may choose to have their payments deposited directly into their checking or savings account, or they may choose to receive the U.S. Bank ReliaCard.
The State of South Dakota and U.S. Bank have partnered to provide the ReliaCard Visa Prepaid Debit Card to all recipients of TANF benefits. The ReliaCard provides a fast, secure and efficient method of distributing TANF payments. It also gives the recipient a convenient and safe way to access their money. Individuals will be given the option of having their funds directly deposited into a checking or savings account. If they do not choose direct deposit, they will automatically be sent a U.S. Bank ReliaCard Visa onto which their future payments will be deposited.
TANF ReliaCards will be restricted from use in certain businesses and establishments per the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 Public Law 112-96. Specifically, the TANF ReliaCard will not be accepted in places of business whose exclusive or primary business is as a liquor store, casino, gaming establishment or provider of adult oriented entertainment. These restrictions do not include businesses such as grocery stores and gas stations whose primary purpose is selling groceries or gas but also sell liquor or operate as a casino or gaming establishment.
