Flu Vaccine:
Supply Problems Heighten Need to Ensure Access for High-Risk People
GAO-01-624: Published: May 15, 2001. Publicly Released: May 15, 2001.

Until the 2000-2001 flu season, the production and the distribution of flu vaccine generally went smoothly. In the fall of 2000, however, stories began to circulate about delays in obtaining flu vaccines. GAO reviewed (1) the circumstances that contributed to the delay and the effects the delay had on prices paid for vaccine, (2) how effectively current distribution channels ensure that high-risk populations receive vaccine on a priority basis, and (3) what the federal government is doing to better prepare for possible disruptions of influenza vaccine supply. GAO found that manufacturing difficulties resulted in an overall delay of about 6-8 weeks in shipping vaccine to most customers and a temporary price spike. Manufacturers experienced unprecedented problems growing a new viral strain, while two of four manufacturers halted production--one permanently--to address safety and quality control concerns. There is currently no system to ensure that high-risk patients have priority when the supply of vaccine is short. Although the federal government has no direct control over how influenza vaccine is purchased and distributed by the private sector and state and local governments, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has several efforts underway to help cope with future influenza vaccine shortages and delays. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised guidelines to extend the recommended timeframe for receiving immunizations. CDC is also helping to bring together manufacturers, distributors, providers, and others in the private and public sectors to explore ways to improve distribution to high-risk individuals.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: HHS advised GAO that they have completed an assessment of education efforts.
Recommendation: To prepare for potential delays or shortages in flu vaccine, the Secretary of Health and Human Services should instruct the Director of CDC to assess the relative success of its past outreach and education efforts and identify those means that are most effective in changing behavior to meet public health priorities. When appropriate, these means should be used as the primary method to educate flu vaccine providers and the general public well before the start of the traditional fall vaccination period.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: HHS advised GAO that guidlines have been prepared for upcoming flu season; such guidelines were published by CDC.
Recommendation: To improve response to future vaccine delays or shortages, the Secretary of Health and Human Services should instruct the Director of CDC to continue to take a leadership role in organizing and supporting efforts to bring together all stakeholders to formulate voluntary guidelines for vaccine distribution. Specifically, in formulating guidelines for getting vaccine to high-risk individuals first in times of need, work with stakeholders to pursue the feasibility of steps that showed promise in the 2000-01 flu season.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: HHS informed GAO of steps taken to improve coodination.
Recommendation: To maximize use of federal resources, the Secretary of Health and Human Services should instruct the Director of CDC to work to compliment the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) ongoing activities to improve pneumococcal immunization rates among the Medicare population and focus CDC's funded efforts on increasing pneumococcal immunization in the high-risk non-Medicare population.

Most the mountain was not open as we knew but they did a good job making snow and keeping the runs well cared for.
Our place was spacious, clean, and well priced, we'll be back in February for more and hoping better snow.

The latest campaign ad by an outside group targeting an Idaho race features an image of GOP Rep. Bill Sali with a bunch of sheep, charging he's "hanging with the wrong flock in Washington." The commercial, placed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, uses what's perhaps a surprising theme to criticize a freshman congressman who's made waves for frequently voting "no" as part of tiny minorities in the House, often to oppose major spending bills. The DCCC ad cites five of Sali's votes against Democrat-backed legislation on everything from "pay-as-you-go" rules for House bills to offshore oil drilling, all attempting to show that Sali's "been with the wrong flock in Washington and it's hurting Idaho;" while the votes are cited correctly, Sali disputes the ad's spin on them. You can read my full story here at spokesmanreview.com, and see the commercial here.

You are wrong. Nothing like offending a reader in the first sentence of a piece I always say. What are you wrong about, and yes, I'm fairly certain you are wrong (for the second time)? You are wrong in thinking that Asdrubal Cabrera stinks. I'm gonna prove to you why that position just isn't supported by the data.
Asdrubal hit 14 homers in 2013. Only six shortstops hit more last season.
Asdrubal drove in 64 runs in 2013. Only six shortstop had more last season.
Asdrubal scored 66 runs in 2013. Only 10 shortstops had more last season.
Not great by any means but not awful either.
Add in the nine steals that Cabrera had in 2013 and we have a shortstop who had 14 homers, 64 RBIs, 66 runs and nine steals. How many shortstops reached all four marks last season? You ready for the answer? You sure? You're gonna be surprised... the answer is two: Ian Desmond and Asdrubal Cabrera.
See what I mean when I wrote at the top that your opinion about Cabrera is wrong?
More data.
Cabrera has hit at least 14 homers each of the past three seasons. The only other shortstop to have done that is J.J. Hardy.
Cabrera has drove in at least 64 runs each of the past three seasons. Hardy is the only other shortstop to have done that.
Cabrera has scored at least 66 runs each of the past three seasons. Only three other shortstops have done that: Erick Aybar, Elvis Andrus and Hardy.
Cabrera has stolen at least nine bases in each of the past three seasons. Only nine other shortstops have done that: Alcides Escobar, Jose Reyes, Eduardo Nunez, Jimmy Rollins, Dee Gordon, Starlin Castro, Aybar, Desmond and Andrus.
If you've read my work at any point, you know what's coming next don't you?
How many shortstops in baseball have hit 14 homers with 64 RBIs, 66 runs scored and nine steals each of the past three seasons? The answer is one – Asdrubal Cabrera.
Do you still think he stinks?
On the flip-side there is one significant concern for Cabrera. His batting average has gone down 4-straight years: .308, .276, .273, .270 and .242. That ain't good. In fact, that mark last season was worse than the league average. Further, his BABIP has failed to reach his .313 career mark in each of the past three seasons (.302, .303 and .283). He also had a walk rate of 6.2 percent last year, a three year low, and his 20.3 percent K-rate was a career worst leading to a career worst 0.31 BB/K rate. However, I would be remiss if I didn't also note that he has actually bettered his career 21 percent line drive rate each of the past two seasons with back-to-back efforts of 23 percent. Guys that have a 23 percent line drive rate don't hit .242 as Cabrera did last season. The only three players who had a line drive rate above 23 percent last year that had a lower BABIP than Cabrera were Alberto Callaspo (.266) Paul Konerko (.265) and Alcides Escobar (.264). There were 41 players who had a line drive rate of 23 percent in 2013 and only three had a lower BABIP than Cabrera. To me that says that the old batting average should end 2014 much closer to his career mark than it did in 2013.
There is still plenty of time to get your 200 page copy of the 2014 Draft Guide. 200 pages of articles, reviews, strategies from the experts, and daily updates of the Player Rankings every day up until first pitch.
If Cabrera starts slowly he could feel the heat from Francisco Lindor who was recently ranked the 13th best prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America. That's a legit concern that the younger, higher "upside," player could push the veteran for at-bats. However, if Cabrera performs as he has in the past, he should be able to hold off Lindor for one more season. Time will tell on that point (to solve the logjam a trade could always happen at some juncture).
Is Asdrubal an elite option at shortstop? The answer is no.
Will Asdrubal be a top-5 shortstop in 2014? The answer is no.
Can you win a fantasy league if Asdrubal is your starting shortstop? The answer is yes.
I think this is a pretty straight forward case of a player who is good but not great, solid but not sexy. Cabrera also shot himself in the foot when he went 25-92-87-17 in 2011. By having such a significant season Cabrera set the bar higher than he could consistently reach. By that I mean that he's much more the batter that we've see the past two seasons, a 15-70-70-10 type of guy, than the 2011 fantasy superstar.
As a shortstop in a mixed league his production works. As a middle infield option in mixed leagues his production is very nice. The real value of Cabrera will be determined by two things. (1) Will his .242 batting average from 2013 rebound? As I noted above I believe it will. It should also be noted that Cabrera is a career .273 hitter who hit at least .270 each year from 2009-12. Should we be that quick to write off a four year run just because of one down season? (2) What is Cabrera's draft day cost? If he's the 12th shortstop off the board he's a strong add. If he costs $10 on draft day in an auction he's a good get. And that's just it with Cabrera. He's not flashy, not sexy and not close to being an upside play. However, he's solid and productive, and players that fall into that realm are often overlooked and undervalued.
I like Cabrera for 2014. If if you're expectations are reasonable then you too should like Cabrera for 2014.

A cartoon is powerful like a picture and leaves lasting impression on one's mind. Combining wit and sarcasm, it generally reflects the mood of the people and, sometimes, the entire nation. The film 'Gangaputrulu' is based on the sensitive issue of allotment of land to special economic zones.
A cartoon competition by the producers titled 'Nature Vs Greed' to bring the theme into focus opened at VUDA Children's Theatre on Tuesday.
The bulldozer, the symbol of aggression, raising the profit lines on the graph, trees cut off – making existence precarious, the corporate big fish swallowing the small fish that is fishermen, the dollar encroaching upon the sea, water war caught with the tap turning into a pistol, fish waiting for rain, and the earth ballooning with pollution are some of the thought-provoking cartoons. Politicians obviously are at the receiving end. Some of the participants are schoolchildren. Films on such issues are hard to come by. 'Gangaputrulu', with the predicament of fishermen affected by SEZs in Visakhapatnam as the central theme, is shot in and around the city with several artistes from the city. The film by the Andhra Pradesh government's Golden Nandi award-winner K. Sunil Kumar Reddy was released last week and won critical acclaim. Two months before the release of the film, the producers had invited entries for the competition and simultaneously announced it on the internet on sites meant for cartoons. "The response has been overwhelming. Out of 600 entries that have been received, 200 are from 26 foreign countries," said Kurra Vijay Kumar, executive producer of 'Gangaputrulu'.
Among the countries that participated were China, Brazil, Canada, Spain, Egypt, Nigeria, Singapore, and Malaysia. Significantly, China contributed 20 per cent of them. A total of 250 entries selected were on display.
"A cartoon says several things pointedly and the entries highlight the environmental damage caused by SEZs and the plight of fishermen. It reflects the objective of the film, which all those who value nature must see," said Head of the Department of Theatre Arts of Andhra University P. Bobby Vardhan, who inaugurated the cartoon exhibition. The exhibition is open on Wednesday too from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Savin Hill
Savin Hill 500 Years Ago— A mural by James Hobin.
Savin Hill Mural — a look back into the Dorchester of 500 years ago— turns 15
This fall marks the 15th anniversary of the Savin Hill mural. On Nov. 6, 1999, approximately 400 people turned up at the corner of South Sydney Street and Savin Hill Avenue for the dedication ceremony, which was officiated by Mayor Tom Menino. Toni Weeden performed traditional song for the unveiling.
The mural is painted on wood, and after 15 years of exposure to spring rains, winter frosts, and summer sunshine, evidence of wear and tear is beginning to show. Look closely and you will see that the mural has been repaired here and there. But we don't care, like a patch on an old and favorite garment, it survives to be enjoyed for another day. Read more
Man gets 18-20 in prison after admitting to 1992 Savin Hill rape
A former Dorchester resident was sentenced to 18-20 years in state prison today after he admitted he raped a woman walking home from the Savin Hill MBTA stop on Oct. 30, 1992.
Terry Abercrombie, 52, had avoided detection until 2012, when a DNA database run by the FBI found a match with DNA evidence the Suffolk County District Attorney's office had entered in the database in 2006.
DA Dan Conley said the DNA match and additional evidence convinced Abercrombie to plead guilty. Read more
Close to home, Walsh joins walk-through by inspection team: 'Walking office hours' to canvass city
Mayor Martin Walsh joined a walk-through of his Savin Hill neighborhood on Saturday morning to highlight his office's efforts to catalogue, fix, and track solutions to ground-level problems on every street in the city. As a light rain fell, the mayor and a small entourage of aides — trailed by several TV camera crews— walked from his house on Tuttle Street and circled the block via Sydney Street to Savin Hill Avenue.
Along the way, Walsh stopped several times to inspect curbs, brick-work, and pavement, some of which has been heaved up by mature trees— and to get a first-hand look at how his liaisons throughout the city can identify problems and order up fixes in real time. Read more
Parking stand-off leaves Savin Hill condo plan in limbo

What next for the Globe property?
Sep. 17, 2014
After years of "maybe it is, maybe it isn't" for sale, it appears that the Boston Globe property on Morrissey Boulevard is really on the market as a number of developers have prepared bids to purchase the site. The big question for its neighbors, of course, is what will replace the Globe?
Several years ago the city was faced with several major properties on the boulevard being actively considered for new development. These included the air rights above the MBTA property outside JFK-UMass station, a parcel between the station and the Shaw's supermarket parking lot, the market itself, the adjacent building that houses radio stations, the old Ch. 56 property, and the Globe. Additionally, there were plans being made for the other side of the boulevard – significant and substantial new buildings at UMass Boston and a redevelopment of the Bayside Mall site.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) rightly called a "time out" on individual project proposals to prepare a master plan that would coordinate and integrate all the new uses for the several sites across the Morrissey Boulevard/Columbia Point peninsula. Read more
Police cite Savin Hill wine and cheese shop for stocking too much wine, not enough cheese
On July 17, a Boston Police detective entered Savin Hill Enterprise, the new wine-and-cheese shop at 1047 Dorchester Ave., and took careful note of how many shelves were used for wine and beer and how many for food items. He looked in the shop's coolers to compare the ratio of chilled alcoholic beverages to soda and water. Read more

Transit Police are now investigating whether a man arrested for illegal gun possession near the scene on Sunday afternoon is connected to the Savin Hill station incident. Read more

The breakfast was sufficient. We stayed here during a ND game weekend, which made our stay DEFINITELY not worth the price we paid but perhaps for other weekends this place is good for just a place to stay the night.

The receptionist in the morning was very helpful, willing to help out in any way.
We had some vehicle trouble on the the trip in and arrived at 12:00 am and they did not have my reservation. we then ended up with the worst room in the hotel, there was an outside bar across the street, the side door to the hotel next to our door and the kitchen ended up on the other side of our room. We were awoken early in the morning with the staff making breakfast, I went to check on what all of the noise was and found out we were next to the kitchen, that is when I found out that there were other rooms available. I learned in the morning that there were other rooms available and she could not understand why we ended up in room 114. I had a feeling that i was treated differently at check in because I booked my room thru Kayak instead of Ivy Court direct, I will not stay at this hotel again.

Monitoring Palestinian incitement is not enough
palestinian tv indoctrination 311.
(photo credit:Palestinian Media Watch)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently announced that Israel will begin to monitor incitement in the Palestinian Authority, and appointed Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser as government coordinator of this program. According to a recent Haaretz article, reports on incitement will be issued periodically and an "incitement index" will be produced by monitoring broadcasts in the official PA media, statements and actions by senior PA officials, and textbooks. While this is welcome news, and a crucial step forward in creating a more conducive climate for peace, it falls short in terms of adequately communicating the full scope and severity of the problem.Israeli government officials historically have spoken about the culture of hatred in the PA solely in terms of incitement. In addition to incitement, there is a related and arguably even more egregious phenomenon – indoctrination – which should be monitored, reported on and publicized in its own right. To conflate the two and report only on "incitement" is to unnecessarily blur the true nature of what has been taking place in Palestinian society.Incitement is defined as "stirring to action, attempting to persuade." A good example of incitement in the PA would be a fiery speech against Israel by a politician or an imam. Indoctrination, on the other hand, is defined as "instruction in the rudiments of a belief system" or, more simply put, brainwashing. An example of indoctrination would be a Palestinian TV program that teaches young children that all of Israel is Palestinian territory, and that suicide missions are the highest form of martyrdom.There are critical distinctions between the two which highlight the need to address them separately:1. Who they target – adults vs. childrenWhen an Imam or politician preaches hate to an adult audience, those assembled generally have the ability to assess the speech and make their own judgments regarding its veracity. Conversely, when children's TV shows, textbooks, etc. teach young Palestinians that Israelis have no historical ties to the land, that Jews are evil, that terrorism is justified, etc., the children targeted are being brainwashed to believe what they are being taught. Unlike adults, they are not yet able to assess the quality of information being fed to them. They become the unwitting vessels of the poison being served. In this regard, indoctrination is an educational form of child abuse that is like statutory rape of the mind. It is a human-rights violation against which children's rights activists should be up in arms.2. The shelf life of the message – temporary vs. foreverMessages of incitement to adults can be turned on and off like a spigot, depending on the needs of the Palestinian governing body. Once youngsters are indoctrinated, however, they will likely believe the vile things they were taught for the rest of their lives, and act on them. Israel can make all the concessions requested of her tomorrow, yet an entire generation of Palestinians will still harbor the hatred they were spoon-fed to their dying days. Indoctrination is therefore a much greater threat than incitement to the long-term prospects for peace.As a child of a Holocaust survivor, I have often questioned how so many people could be complicit in the murder of the six million. While there are no simple answers, it is clear that the groundwork for turning a normal society into murderers has to be carefully laid. All forms of propaganda have to be employed to dehumanize the victims and position them as threats to the society.It is alarming to witness this type of groundwork being laid in the Palestinian territories over the past several years by official bodies and media outlets. When innocent Palestinian children watch their beloved Sesame Street-like TV characters brutally murdered by IDF soldiers, or spend time in summer camps and public squares named after suicide bombers, they are being carefully prepared to harbor lasting enmity and emulate perpetrators of terror.

In the last few years many researchers, commentators, and elected officials have bemoaned the fact that the middle class has not been receiving its fair share of income growth. Given the increased work effort of female spouses, it is claimed that the middle class has been treading water while working longer. When this is contrasted with the rise in productivity, CEO pay and corporate profits, the natural conclusion is that the system is rigged and needs changing. As a result, the focus of many, particularly those on the left, has shifted from promoting growth, particularly productivity growth, to redistribution. Since growth no longer appears to benefit "working" Americans, it's better, they argue, to focus on policies like universal health care, stronger retirement security, and other redistributionist programs as a way to raise living standards for this group of Americans.
This change in political mood, particularly among Democrats, represents a significant and troubling shift. Since the time of FDR, Democrats have been the party of growth, albeit growth that is widely shared, but growth nonetheless. As a result, Democrats from FDR through Clinton saw robust and vibrant economic growth as progressive and supported policies that led to that. In contrast, in recent years, many Democrats appear to have lost the faith they once had in growth as a "rising tide that lifts all boats." Indeed, it's been an article of faith among many on the left to state scathingly that JFK's famous phrase no longer applies, if it ever did.
This loss of faith in productivity as an engine of middle class prosperity matters because it means that it will become harder to gain support for government policies to spur productivity growth. And government policies can help boost productivity growth. Indeed, government support for R&D and the digital transformation of the economy are particularly critical for ensuring robust growth in the future. If, in c

Ghanta, Golden Kela poke fun at "indulgent" Bollywood
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Bollywood stars better watch out. Movie fans in India are handing out their own version of the Razzies, the annual Oscars spoof that spotlights Hollywood's worst performances.
The second Ghanta (bell) Awards and the fourth Golden Kela (golden banana) awards are doing the rounds of social media networks, with fans voting in various categories for the worst films of 2011.
The rise of what is known as the "multiplex audience", urban viewers who have a taste for edgier cinema and the spending power to watch it, has meant that Bollywood is exploring newer storylines and bolder themes.
But Indian actors and film makers continuing with stale family melodramas and bad scripts risk being pilloried by urban audiences exposed to top-notch Hollywood films who now expect the same standards in India.
This year, the Ghantas also have a holier-than-thou film award, for "indulgent film makers".
"These are typically personal stories that do not cater to mass sensibilities," says Karan Anshuman, film critic and co-founder of The Ghanta Awards.
"Here, films are inspired by the grammar of world cinema and not so much Bollywood," says Anshuman.
"And while this is an encouraging step towards making available different cinemas to an audience, more often than not the movies are ineptly made and just plain bad and silly."
With categories like "Most Atrocious lyrics", "Worst Rip-Off" and "Worst Holier-than-thou films", fans can take potshots at the worst of Bollywood cinema from the past year.
Big-ticket stars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are nominated in the worst actor categories at The Ghantas while the Shah Rukh Khan caper "Don 2" has been nominated in the "Worst Rip-Off" category for imitating "every Hollywood action film".
The response from the Indian online community has been encouraging. A day after voting began, more than a thousand users had cast their votes for the Ghantas. More than 300,000 people cast their votes for The Golden Kelas last year.
Organisers aren't counting on the same support from the Indian film industry.
"Bollywood isn't really known for laughing at itself and frankly has zero sense of humour," says Anshuman.
Organisers of the Golden Kela awards, which last year awarded the Worst Actor award to Shah Rukh Khan, say no Bollywood star or film maker shows up to claim their prizes.
This week, film maker Anurag Kashyap tweeted he would collect his Ghanta award in person if his film "That Girl in Yellow Boots" wins in the "holier-than-thou" category.
