HealthStream Advances Talent Management Strategy With Innovative Credentialing Application Through Acquisition Of Sy.Med
HealthStream, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSTM), a leading provider of learning, research, and talent management solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced that its talent management strategy has been advanced with an innovative credentialing application gained through the acquisition of Sy.Med Development, Inc. ("Sy.Med"). As a leading developer of credentialing related software products, Sy.Med serves a broad set of healthcare clients, which includes over 115 hospitals and integrated delivery networks — their fastest growing market segment.
Sy.Med OneApp™, Sy.Med's credentialing application, centralizes data and automates the paper-intensive, time-consuming credentialing management processes for hospitals, physician practices, clinics, and other healthcare organizations. Hospitals and health systems are required to manage and track all credentialing applications and enrollment forms for physicians, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and other professional healthcare providers practicing in their organizations. By adding Sy.Med OneApp™ to HealthStream's talent management product suite, a powerful credentialing application is provided to hospitals to reduce credentialing paperwork and manual processes by up to 70 percent.
"HealthStream's innovative, fresh approach to talent management is rapidly evolving into the healthcare industry's premier talent ecosystem, of which I am excited to now be a part," said Jim Aylward, chief executive officer, Sy.Med. "I believe our credentialing application has saved tremendous resources for our clients — and I am, therefore, pleased that it will reach a wider audience as part of HealthStream. Moreover, I know that our clients will benefit from expanded opportunities as part of HealthStream's growing customer base while continuing to receive outstanding support and service from the same Sy.Med team."
Credentialing is a particularly important component of talent management in healthcare organizations. HealthStream's approach to talent management begins with evaluating a healthcare organization's workforce along five dimensions: qualifications, competency, engagement, performance, and development. Credentialing is, necessarily, an important starting point as it is essential that healthcare professionals' qualifications to deliver patient care be verified. As such, Sy.Med's credentialing application provides a requisite tool to automate this process — particularly for the credentialing of physicians who comprise about 80 percent of Sy.Med's client data — and who are increasingly employed by hospitals.

Frequent BSoD for ntoskrnl.exe, dxgmms1.sys when watching yt, twitch
I've been suffering BSoDs relatively frequently for a while now, in my perception mostly when watching streamed flash video such as from YouTube or Twitch.tv.
Multiple system wipes/fresh installations have not resolved the issue.
RAM replacement seemed to allow me to catch a break at first, but BSoDs returned after few days of calm and I suffered 3 of them during the last 2 days. Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostics and MemTest (ran multiple copies simultaneously for 8 hours) returned no errors.
According to the dump files, BSoDs were caused by a combination of ntoskrnl.exe and dxgmms1.sys.
Again, in my imagination most of them they seem to coincide with streaming flash video via Twitch.tv, which I watch using multiple instances of Google Chrome and Firefox. Although that might be completely unrelated.
As a layman, I'm puzzled, and thus turn to you for your insight and help.
|My System Specs
|01 May 2013
Please start by removing the following programs from your computer:
Start Menu\Programs\DAEMON Tools Lite
DuplexSecure - Downloads
When the tool runs if the uninstall button is grayed out your done and can close the window. If it is not please click it and allow the tool to do its job. DO NOT click the install button it will install a driver known to cause BSODs.
Also uninstall this program it is likely doing more harm than good:
Start Menu\Programs\TuneUp Utilities 2013

Please update this driver from here: Realtek
|My System Specs
|01 May 2013
I will remove these programs and read and follow the instructions of your post in the meanwhile, though it should be noted that both Daemon Tools and TuneUp Utilities have only been installed recently. TuneUp has been installed no more than 2 hours ago, in fact, to see if it can identify possible conflicts within my system.
|My System Specs
|01 May 2013
Tune up utilities, like many other "tune up" software it does things that windows 7 already has built in tools for, or does automatically rendering it utterly useless, further more it also does thing like and I shudder when I say this "cleans the registry" now this is literally the worst possible thing you can do with a program, the program knows less about your registry than you do. In the end it will end up deleting something it shouldn't and then the only option is a re-install of windows. if you want to figure out what conflicts there may begoing on in the system follow this tutorial:

|My System Specs
|01 May 2013
DAEMON Tools Lite and TuneUp Utilities 2013 have been removed.
The uninstall button for DuplexSecure is greyed out, and ATI and Realtek drivers have been updated.
Thank you for helping to identify these problems (however you found the Realtek one). Hopefully this will lead to fewer BSoDs. If it doesn't, I will report back.

Glad I could be of help.

I got a Blue Screen again today, and BlueScreenView highlights dxgmms1.sys and ntoskrnl.exe again, like it did before. It occured while watching Twitch.tv streams and no programs besides Google Chrome and Firefox were running.
New SF log is attached.
|My System Specs
|06 May 2013
Ok a couple of things to try:
Fist run the system file checker to help clear up any file system corruption
Go to Start and type in "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)
At the top of the search box, right click on the cmd.exe and select "Run as adminstrator"
In the black window that opens, type "SFC.EXE /SCANNOW" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
then from the same command prompt run the following command:
chkdsk /f /r
BIOS Release Date 08/05/2009
|My System Specs
|08 May 2013
SFC.EXE /SCANNOW (no integrity violations found) and Chkdsk returned no errors. BIOS has been updated.
Even so, another Blue Screen occurred, again dxgmmms1.sys, again while watching a stream.
WhoCrashed says "This appears to be a typical software driver bug and not likely caused by a hardware problem. [...] Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time."
So far I've wiped the machine and reinstalled Windows, replaced the RAM,
ran multiple instances of MemTest simultaneously for 8 hours as well as Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostics, SFC.EXE /SCANNOW and Chkdsk without them returning errors.
Graphics (amd.com via amddriverdownloader.exe) and
sound driver (realtek.com via ALL_INST_1.12.0022_DASH_20110922_B1) and
BIOS (gigabyte.de via F8/Update AM3 CPU AGESA 184.108.40.206) have been updated. There's a F9b BIOS version from 2012/08/14, but it says "Beta BIOS", so I didn't touch it.
I also disabled all non-Microsoft services in msconfig to see if one of might be the cause.
|My System Specs
|09 May 2013
Odd tthe dump files are still pointing to your Graphics card drivers as the issue, but they are up to date, for testing sake, and to hopefully rule out hardware problems plese do the following:
Run furmark to stress test the Video card, and check for over heating:
FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature" (BurnIn test in newer versions).
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit
Then run this program to test the dedicated memory on the video card:
This test is very straight forward, no need to change any settings when it runs just let it do its thing for 8-9 passes. Report any errors that occur during the test or if it causes a crash.

I was surprised to find the staff so useless when the incident took place, especially when I was told that this is actually a regular occurrence... However I was informed by the Manager on duty that this was different... As all recent break-ins have been carried out by the staff of the hotel...
The customer service was also appalling after the incident and although I have requested information on how the hotel has increased security measures to protect future guests I haven't received it... The only information I have received has been that We believe this incident is covered by the Hotel Proprietors Act and therefore the hotel liability was restricted to £100.'

Sadly Not A Palacefrom A TripAdvisor Member
It is in major need of an overhaul to bring it in line with the major hotels in the area. We hated it.
It all depends ...from A TripAdvisor Member
I have stayed here on business several times and have had comfortable modern rooms and cold, old rooms; albeit with fantastic high ceilings. While the older parts of the hotel are interesting, they are not recommended as somewhere to stay, especially when your room is by the railway line. You feel as if you could touch the trains as they go noisily past your window.
The bar is OK but the breakfast decidedly average.
Excellentfrom A TripAdvisor Member
We loved it!from A TripAdvisor Member
Shoddy let-downfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Breakfast was spectacularly disappointing. After queueing for 30 minutes, I was presented with an uninspired buffet of tired hot food, unimaginative cereals, soggy toast and an over-subscribed container of watery orange juice you felt lucky to enjoy a glass of. Admittedly the breakfast service was understaffed, but that's not the guest's problem, especially in a so-called 4-star hotel.
85 pounds would normally be a good price for a 4-star hotel in the centre of Manchester on a Saturday night, but sadly The Palace fails to come anywhere close to matching its over-inflated opinion of itself.
It's a shame because the building and many of the rooms have superb features, yet the overall feeling you leave with is one of disappointment. It is to be frank, shoddy and one can only hope its recent buyers will put the effort in to give this building and location the service and finish it truly deserves, as oppose to allowing it to become further run-down.
Top Local Tips for Manchester
Youth Hostels I find youth hostels provide excellent family rooms but, unfrotunately couldn't get into the Manchester one.
Eating and sleeping. Include a trip just to see the foyer of the Royal Exchange Theatre and stay at the Midland Hotel or at the Lowry if you can afford it.For a cheap meal Pizzeria Italia on Deansgate is a long time favourite but Livebait off Albert Square is a real favourite. For a splurge eat at The Market Restuarant in the Northern Quarter and for good Greek food, Kosmos in Fallowfield. Go also and visit Rusholme and eat Indian.Take a trip out if you get a chance to Prestbury Village and visit the lovely Artizana Gallery.
Faithless I had travelled to Manchester to watch Faithless perform and was not disappointed.

Contents of this article
Asthma is a chronic condition with symptoms of cough, wheezing, chest tightness or pain, and/or difficulty breathing. These symptoms occur periodically, usually related to specific triggering events. People with asthma have narrowed small airways during these episodes; the narrowing is partially or completely reversible with asthma treatments. In addition, the airways of children with asthma react to a variety of stimuli, which may include viral illnesses (eg, the common cold), exercise, pollen, foods to which the child is allergic, or environmental conditions.
Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children in developed countries, affecting about 12 percent of children who are less than 18 years. It is more common in males than females under the age of 15 years.
This topic review discusses the risk factors, symptoms, and diagnosis of asthma in children. Other topics about asthma in children are available separately. (See "Patient information: Asthma treatment in children (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: How to use a peak flow meter (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: Asthma inhaler techniques in children (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: Trigger avoidance in asthma (Beyond the Basics)".)
Discussions of asthma and asthma treatments in adults are also available. (See "Patient information: Asthma treatment in adolescents and adults (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: How to use a peak flow meter (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: Asthma inhaler techniques in adults (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: Trigger avoidance in asthma (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: Asthma and pregnancy (Beyond the Basics)".)
Asthma occurs when the small airways (bronchi) in the lungs become inflamed and narrowed, which limits the flow of air out of the lungs (figure 1 and figure 2). This narrowing is almost always reversible in children with treatment. Many different genetic, infectious, and environmental factors may increase the risk of developing asthma (see "Risk factors for asthma"), a few of which include:
●Viral infections — Children who have wheezing with respiratory syncytial virus or rhinovirus seem to be at increased risk for developing asthma.
●Pollution — Increased exposure to indoor and outdoor pollution may increase the risk of developing asthma.
●Exposure to tobacco smoke — Exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy and throughout childhood increase the risk of developing asthma.
●Family history — Children with a personal or family history of certain medical problems, such as asthma, allergies, or eczema, are at increased risk of developing asthma.
However, not all children with asthma have known risk factors. In other words, even children who live in unpolluted areas and whose parents do not smoke or have asthma can develop asthma. It is not clear if there are ways to reduce a child's risk of developing asthma.
Coughing and wheezing — Symptoms of asthma in children include coughing and wheezing. The cough is usually dry and hacking and is most noticeable while the child sleeps and during early morning hours. It may also be triggered by exercise or cold air exposure. Wheezing is a high-pitched musical noise that is usually heard when the child breathes out. It can generally only be heard with a stethoscope.
Coughing and wheezing tends to come and go during the day or night, depending upon the degree of airway narrowing in the lungs. Breathlessness, chest tightness or pressure, and chest pain may also occur. In addition to coughing or wheezing, a child may report that their chest or stomach hurts.
Asthma symptoms often develop in children before five years of age, although it is sometimes difficult to diagnose asthma in infants and toddlers.
Asthma triggers — Wheezing and coughing may occur at any time, but certain triggers are known to worsen asthma in many children.
Environmental conditions — Cold air, changes in barometric pressure, rain, or wind may cause increased asthma symptoms in certain people. Pollution, including exhaust fumes and particulate matter may also induce symptoms.
Upper respiratory infections — Viral upper respiratory infections (head and chest colds) are a common trigger of asthma in infants and young children. The most common viral infections include rhinovirus (the virus that causes most colds), respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza virus. (See "Patient information: The common cold in children (Beyond the Basics)" and "Patient information: Bronchiolitis (and RSV) in infants and children (Beyond the Basics)".)
Children with asthma should use their asthma treatments for cough and chest congestion rather than over-the-counter cold remedies.
Exercise — Narrowing of the airways can be triggered by exercise. This is called exercise-induced asthma (also called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction or EIB). Breathlessness, wheeze, and/or cough usually occur within 5 to 10 minutes of the cool-down period after vigorous exercise. These symptoms tend to disappear after 20 to 45 minutes. Certain types of exercise (eg, swimming) are less likely to cause exercise-induced asthma than others (eg, running, skating), probably because they produce less airway cooling and drying. Short bursts of activity tend to be better tolerated than prolonged exercise. (See "Patient information: Exercise-induced asthma (Beyond the Basics)".)
Allergens and irritants — Indoor and outdoor allergens are an important trigger of childhood asthma, particularly for children older than three years of age. In children with seasonal allergies, asthma symptoms may worsen during certain pollen seasons. Symptoms can also flare as a result of mold exposure (eg, during rainy seasons or in damp areas). Indoor pollutants can act as irritants and also trigger asthma symptoms. Irritants and allergens include:
●House dust (ie, dust mites, cockroaches, mice droppings), particularly during vacuuming
●Animal exposures; cats and dogs are especially provocative but other furry animals (gerbils, rabbits, hamsters, etc) may be suspect, particularly if symptoms only occur in settings where these animals reside
●Pollens (the pollen season and types of pollen vary depending upon the region and climate)
●Indoor pollutants (eg, paint, perfume, cleaning products, space heaters, gas stoves, room deodorizers)
If allergies are a possible cause of symptoms, skin or blood testing may be recommended. This can help to both identify triggers and determine the necessity of avoiding these triggers at home.
Symptom patterns — Children with chronic asthma may have one of several distinct patterns of symptoms, and the asthma pattern may change over time:
●Intermittent asthma attacks with no symptoms between attacks
●Chronic symptoms with intermittent worsening
●Attacks that become more severe or frequent over time
●Morning "dipping", when symptoms worsen in the morning and improve as the day progresses
●Symptoms that begin during upper respiratory tract infections (eg, colds) and linger for several weeks after, with resolution during warmer weather.
Most asthma attacks develop slowly over a period of several days. Uncommonly, a severe attack can occur suddenly, even in someone with intermittent asthma, and with minimal warning.
The diagnosis of asthma in children requires a careful review of a child's current and past medical history, family history, and a physical examination. Specialized testing is sometimes needed to diagnose asthma and to rule out other possible causes of symptoms. Many children with asthma appear and sound completely normal.
Spirometry testing — Spirometry measures the flow and volume of air generated after a child takes a very deep breath and then forcefully tries to blow the air out of his/her lungs. If airflow obstruction is present, the test may be repeated after the child uses an asthma inhaler or nebulizer (bronchodilator) to confirm that the obstruction is reversible (a feature of asthma).
Children younger than six years sometimes have a hard time following the instructions to perform spirometry. Testing of younger children and infants is described below (see 'Testing for young children' below).
Challenge testing — A bronchial challenge test may be recommended to diagnose asthma. This testing is designed to cause the airways to narrow in children with asthma. The most common challenge tests include inhaling an agent that causes bronchoconstriction, exercise by running on a treadmill or using an exercise cycle, or breathing cold air. Testing is done in a specialized asthma testing center that is capable of providing emergency asthma care if needed. (See "Bronchoprovocation testing".)
Additional testing — Other tests may be recommended to ensure that another condition is not the cause of a child's coughing or wheezing. This may include a chest radiograph, sweat chloride test (for cystic fibrosis), barium swallow (for gastroesophageal reflux), modified barium swallow (for aspiration), or skin or blood testing (for allergies or immune problems). (See "Wheezing illnesses other than asthma in children" and "Cystic fibrosis: Clinical manifestations and diagnosis" and "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease in children and adolescents" and "Gastroesophageal reflux in infants" and "Aspiration due to swallowing dysfunction in infants and children" and "Overview of skin testing for allergic disease" and "Overview of in vitro allergy tests".)
Testing for young children — Infants and children younger than six years are usually not able to reliably perform spirometry or peak expiratory flow rate testing. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend a trial of asthma medication to confirm the diagnosis.
Many parents wonder if their child will "outgrow" their asthma over time. Some children do experience complete remission, but many continue to have asthma that can be controlled with appropriate medications.
Having asthma does not typically affect the length of a person's life. With appropriate therapy, children with asthma can participate in all activities including sports at any level.
The treatment of asthma in children is discussed in a separate topic review. (See "Patient information: Asthma treatment in children (Beyond the Basics)".)
Your child's healthcare provider is the best source of information for questions and concerns related to your child's medical problem.

A Kansas program designed to test welfare applicants for drug use—supported by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, who is known for boasting over enrollment cuts to the state's program for low-income families—has resulted in only 20 drug tests in the four months since it began.
Even with a disastrous deficit of $1.4 billion, the proposed 2014-15 Pennsylvania budget is pouring more money into an anti-choice crisis pregnancy center network that recently made headlines for "failing to see a single client" in another state, despite a significant government contract there.
Indiana and Kansas show the battle over abortion rights and access is growing in intensity in some parts of the country.
Welfare reform family caps punish the poor for having children. Repealing such laws sometimes creates common ground for pro-choice and "pro-life" groups.
In an economy rife with low-wage jobs and long-term unemployment for women, the need for reproductive freedom is even more critical. Yet, Ohio's budget achieves exactly the opposite, as if to mock the state's women.
The governor had little problem using his veto pen on the state budget, but wouldn't cross of any one of five anti-women, anti-health amendments.
Advancing policies for the benefit of the rich, whilst kicking the poor among us in the teeth, is a mainstay of the Republican Party.
If we still need more evidence that reproductive freedom is an economic issue, the challenge of affording child care is ripe for discussion.
Georgia will use federal TANF money for domestic violence shelters which could eliminate services for women without children, what do state ant-abortion bills say about women, Arizona enacts more anti-abortion legislation, and Starbucks selling a maternal health benefit CD.
Coverage of the economic crisis focuses on the fate of the newly poor middle class. But stories about those who were already poor in the "best of times" have been few and far between.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Mat Latos spun seven scoreless innings and hit his first career home run to send San Diego to a 7-1 win over Washington in the last of a three-game set.
Chris Denorfia, Chase Headley and Jerry Hairston, Jr. also hit home runs for the Padres, who salvaged the final game of the series.
Latos (10-4) allowed five hits, walked two and struck out eight for San Diego, which has won four of its last six games.
Luis Atilano (6-6) suffered the loss after being charged with four runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings, while walking two and recording a pair of strikeouts for the Nats, who split six games in the season series.
The Padres loaded the bases with one out in the first on two hits and walk for Yorvit Torrealba, who dumped a single to left field to plate Chase Headley with the game's first run. Atilano worked out of further trouble by getting Aaron Cunningham to bounce into an inning-ending double play.
The San Diego right-hander issued a pair of walks in the second, but struck out Atilano to end the threat and did not face another test until the seventh.
Denorfia belted a one-out solo home run to left field in the fourth inning that was followed one out later by the Latos long ball to left.
Torrealba singled to start the sixth and advanced to third on a Cunningham base hit and scored on Denorfia's fielder's choice grounder that pushed the lead to 4-0 and chased Atilano from the game.
Miguel Batista came on and got Everth Cabrera to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Latos led off the seventh with a single and scored when Headley belted a two- run home run off Batista.
Willie Harris' pinch-hit single loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the frame, but Latos wiggled out of trouble by getting Nyjer Morgan to ground out.
Luke Gregerson took over in the eighth and gave up a leadoff double to Roger Bernadina that was followed by a walk to Ryan Zimmerman walk and a base hit to left by Adam Dunn that scored Bernadina to get the Nats on the board.
Josh Willingham then grounded into a double play and Ivan Rodriguez flied out to end the inning as the rally was thwarted.
Hairston, Jr. finished the scoring by blasting a home run to left off Doug Slaten in the ninth.

Pilot Brothers: On the Track of Striped Elephant (iPhone)
Published by
Developed by
Also For
100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionA rare striped elephant named Baldakhin has disappeared from a zoo in a provincial Russian town. The main suspect is a notorious animal trainer Karbofoss. Controlling two Pilots brothers - Brother Chief and Brother Colleague - you must find the missing animal, and perhaps also to save the world.
The game can be best compared to Gobliiins, being a puzzle game with a plot. There are 15 levels in total. You must solve all the puzzles on a given level, manipulating objects and using the special abilities of the two brothers, in order to proceed to the next level. There are also some semi-arcade parts where precise timing is necessary. The 256 color graphics resemble classic cartoon-style adventures.
There are no iPhone screenshots for this game.
There are 16 other screenshots on file for other versions of this game.

"I thought this repice was easy to prepare and very tasty. The only problem I had was that I only used two eggs which didn't make it as smooth as I would of liked it. The video shows them using four eggs which is what I'm going to use the next time...I guess I should have watched the video first."""

Turkey is hoping to finalise negotiations to acquire its first long-range anti-missile system from China in six months' time, the head of the country's procurement agency said Thursday.
"The immediate goal for us is in about six months to come to a reasonable level in our contract negotiations and to understand whether it's possible to implement this program," Murad Bayar, head of undersecretariat for defense industries, told reporters in Istanbul.
In September, Turkish decision-makers gave the greenlight to begin contract negotiations with the China Precision Machinery Export-Import Corporation (CPMIEC), which is under US sanctions for selling arms and missile technology to Iran and Syria.
CPMIEC, which makes the HQ-9 missile system, beat competition from a US partnership of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, Russia's Rosoboronexport, and Italian-French consortium Eurosam for the deal, estimated at $4 billion (2.9 billion euros).
Bayar said if negotiations with the Chinese company that made the top of the Turkish list failed, the authorities would then evaluate the other bidders.
"If there are difficulties that we may have not foreseen, if this is not possible then we will go down" the list, he said.
The decision to go with CPMIEC irritated Turkey's NATO allies, particularly the United States, which voiced "serious concerns" and sent delegations for expert-level discussions with Turkish authorities.
NATO has said the missile systems within the transatlantic military alliance must be compatible with each other.
Turkey, a NATO member since 1952, has defended its decision to enter into talks with the Chinese company, but said it is open to new bids should the negotiations collapse.

Living in Kansas I just did receive my CCL this month. So I called a very good friend who has carried for years in Arizona to talk do's and dont's. The first thing he told me was "Do Not make and adds, changes, modifications to any of your CCWs."
His logic is that if you in fact have to use your firearm one day and you kill the BG, if his family were to file a Wrongful Death civil case against you having used a modified firearm gives their attorney one more thing to use against you.
As in "Your honor, this guy is such a bad a## that the way the gun came from the factory wasn't good enough for him." "He had to make changes to make the gun even more deadlier!"
We all know that is not the case ... but the opposing attorney can make it appear that way.

How do you feel when your husband brings you coffee in bed or stops on his way home to pick up your favorite ice cream? Are you grateful? Suspicious? Do you feel like you owe him? Maybe you barely register the gesture at all.
A recent study in the journal Personal Relationships suggests that doing small things for your partner can help strengthen your relationship—if he or she feels gratitude in response. If, however, the partner feels indebted, like they have to repay the act, researchers say everyday kindnesses will not have the same beneficial effect.
According to the study, when we're in an intimate relationship, we tend to do things for the other person, like plan a dinner party to celebrate a promotion or take the kids to the zoo so your spouse can enjoy alone time. Though we believe these acts will always be met with gratitude, in reality, they may not. Over time, they may become expected and go unnoticed, or may be regarded with resentment or distrust. Lead researcher Sara B. Algoe, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and her team wanted to find out if these acts of kindness still benefit a relationship, even when met by the other person with a sense of obligation.
The researchers followed 65 couples for two weeks, tracking everyone's daily relationship satisfaction and sense of connection with their partner. They found that when a thoughtful gesture increased feelings of gratitude, it improved how couples felt about their relationship. Those who felt gratitude from their partners felt more connected and more satisfied with the romantic relationship than they had the previous day. When people felt indebted by their partner's act of kindness, it did not give a romantic boost to the relationship. In other words, all the flowers in the world aren't going to bring back that loving feeling if the recipient feels like they now owe their partner something nice in return.
According to the authors, gratitude is a type of positive thinking that can help improve how we feel about our situation. "Feelings of gratitude and generosity are helpful in solidifying our relationships with people we care about, and benefit the one giving as well as the one on the receiving end," Algoe said in a statement. It's just another reminder to give thanks for the little things, no matter how trivial they may seem at the time.
Right now, my fiancé is upstairs vacuuming, something I know he is loathe to do. And even though I wish he would do it more often (don't ask how long it's been since our carpet was last vacuumed), I still appreciate his doing it. Maybe I'll even buy him dinner tonight at the rib joint he loves. Not because I owe him, but because when he does things to help me out, it makes me want to do nice things for him, too. And if, as the study suggests, it helps strengthen our bond, too, well, then that's just icing on the cake.

Finding data that describe the substance use behaviors of young adults not attending college can be challenging. This document offers a starting point for finding data on this hard-to-reach population.
This document offers a starting point for finding data on this group. Since there is little data available for this population exclusively, we have compiled a list of agencies and organizations operating at the state, regional, and national levels that routinely collect or maintain data on 18- to 25-year olds, overall. From there, we offer guidance for examining these sources through a "not in college" lens. However, when reviewing these sources, please note the following:
The sources are organized according to three categories: health data, crime and accident data, and demographic data. Also included is a list of national sources that may contain relevant data. (Note: This list intentionally excludes college-specific data sources, as they do not capture information on non-college youth.) Several of these sources (indicated with an asterisk) may be used to populate outcomes for SAMHSA's National Outcomes Measures (NOMs). Finally, please note that these sources contain existing reported data; they do not represent primary or new data collection efforts.
Many state and local agencies collect health data, including data on rates of substance abuse, the consequences of use (e.g., hospital data on overdoses), and, in some cases, attitudes toward alcohol and drug use. These data generally include information on both college and non-college youth. These agencies include the following:
Crime statistics can reveal both the number and types of substance-related crimes occurring in a community; accident reports can reveal the number of young adult drivers operating under the influence. These data can shed light on the negative consequences of substance use (e.g., violence, criminal activity, automobile accidents) for a specific age group. However, it can be difficult to determine whether or not offenders are in college or in the workforces, as these data often do not include education status.
Since many local law enforcement agencies are required to provide arrests and convictions to their state, you can usually get this information directly from the state law enforcement agency.
Employers often collect information on their employees, and these records can be an important source of information on 18- to 25-year old non-college youth. Workplaces can also be an important venue for collecting new data on this population; for this reason, building strong relationships with these stakeholders and cultivating them as potential partners is key. It is important to note, however, that employers may resist sharing substance-related information about employees for fear that it will cast the employer in a negative light. Some common employers of non-college youth include the military, restaurants and bars, and construction companies.
Demographic data describe the composition of a community. You can use these data to determine whether a community has certain risk factors that tend to be associated with substance abuse—such as poverty, high crime rates, and fluctuations in population—and where these risk factors are most prevalent. Since demographic data generally include information about age of the population, these data may provide useful information regarding risk factors associated with substance use among 18- to 25-year-olds.
The U.S. Census Bureau (http://www.census.gov/ [1]) provides demographic data disaggregated by city, county, and state. Town, county, and tribal administrative offices also regularly collect demographic data that include the age, gender, and ethnicity of community members. These data are often available on the town's or county's website.
National data sources can be used to see nationwide trends and patterns, and to provide a comparison to local data. Some national sources also provide data on states, regions, counties and some select communities.
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)*
www.cdc.gov/brfss/ [2]
This ongoing, state-based survey collects data from adults on the prevalence of chronic diseases and conditions, access to health care, and health-risk behaviors including heavy and binge drinking. It also collects information on age, highest level of education completed, and current employment status. This resource could be used to determine the statewide prevalence of binge drinking among young adults, and/or the prevalence of binge drinking by highest level of education achieved. BRFSS results are available at the national and state levels, and at select local levels (e.g., city results are available for larger municipalities and metro areas).
Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)*
http://www.nhtsa.gov/FARS [3]
Operated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this system collects information on deaths resulting from motor vehicle collisions, including data on several aspects of the crash, including the event, the vehicle(s) and driver(s) (by age), and each person involved. Specific substance-related indicators include the annual number of alcohol-related drivers in crashes in which at least one person died and the annual number of vehicle deaths sustained in crashes that were alcohol-involved.
Uniform Crime Reports (UCR)*
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/NACJD/guides/ucr.html [4]
Operated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, these report contain national crime estimates, including arrests, by age, for drug- and alcohol-related crimes; state crime estimates, and city and county crime counts (for cities with populations over 10,000 and counties with populations over 25,000). These Data are provided by law enforcement agencies that voluntarily participate in the UCR Program.
National Survey on Drug use and Health (NSDUH)*
https://nsduhweb.rti.org/ [5]
Funded by SAMHSA, the NSDUH annually interviews people nationwide to provide national and state-level estimates of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use and mental health. The survey is designed to provide data on the levels and patterns of substance use, track usage trends, assess consequences, and identify groups at high risk for substance use. It collects information on age, education, employment status, as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month usage for alcohol, illegal substances, and nonmedical use of prescription drugs. This information could reveal national trends in substance use for college and non-college populations, and co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders in young adults. State data are also available.
Monitoring the Future
http://www.monitoringthefuture.org/ [6]
Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Monitoring the Future (MTF) is a nationwide study of behaviors, attitudes, and values of American adolescents and young adults. MTF surveys participants at the beginning of high school, and into young adulthood. This resource includes national data regarding drug use among college versus non-college young adults for some, though not all, racial and ethnic groups.
* These datasets may be used to populate outcomes for SAMHSA's National Outcomes Measures (NOMs).
Developed under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for the Application of Prevention Technologies contract (Reference #HHSS277200800004C).
