Card system upgrade - card readers offlineNovember 26, 2014A OneCard upgrade has temporarily taken the copy card readers offline.
Resolved - Collab down 3-4 pmNovember 20, 2014
Collab was down for about an hour, starting around 3 pm, on 20 Nov 2014. It was back up by about 4 pm.
Resolved - Wireless Outage 2:30-3pmNovember 11, 2014
Network equipment managing wireless in most academic buildings failed at 2:30pm. Service was restored just after 3pm. We have been told that this was due to a bug in firmware code we've been running since July. We will evaluate the risk of upgrading within the next few days versus end of term.
Resolved - Instructor stations won't boot into Mac OSNovember 5, 2014
Instructor stations would not boot into the Mac OS on Wednesday morning, Nov 5th. Most machines were repaired by the end of Wednesday, and the rest fixed by early Thursday morning.
Resolved - Courses and Collab intermittent connectivityOctober 16, 2014
Collab and courses are once again available.
Resolved - cause of recent network issuesSeptember 30, 2014
Last night, we determined that the intermittent network issues that began Friday were caused by a flood of traffic intended to drive multiple non-Carleton-related sites offline. Having found the underlying issue, we were able to filter the traffic at the edge of the campus network, effectively neutralizing the threat. Although the floods of traffic resumed later in the evening and are ongoing, they have had no impact since 7pm Monday.

On GretaWire, Fox News' Greta Van Susteren blogs about the ratings on inauguration day, and takes on those who criticized MSNBC's performance.
Here is my theory: I think their viewership at MS/NBC got cut in half by NBC – their mothership which ALSO covered the events. CNN does not have a broadcast network to take their viewers so they kept their total audience. I don't know how much Fox Broadcast did to FNC or to what extent it had an impact on Fox News Channel, but NBC did have a large audience and I bet that means it stole lots of viewers from MS/NBC.
Is this the change we've been hearing so much about?
Probably not. Here's Greta's update to her post:
…some early comments posted on this blog entry asks essentially why I care enough to blog about this…and my answer? I don't really care but think it brings you behind the scenes on this business, the analysis of TV that is done behind the scenes etc and I have promised to bring you behind the scenes. So that's all…it is not a big deal…just my thoughts on the topic.

Beware of the BLT's........
The dreaded bites, licks, and tastes. Didn't know if there was already a thread on this subject, but remembered the blt's being discussed when I was on WW. I'm not positive, but I think I've had a few times having a blt w/o writing it down.:dunno::hyst: lol So, since this has been on my mind, today I have been adopting the "if you bite it, then write it" mentality. BLT's I think have maybe been sneaking in here and there causing some slowing in my progress.:stars: So watch out for the BLT's JB's!:high5:
Oh, geez, it's a DD and now I want a BLT! :lol:
Ha, ha, I hear you! My problem was thinking me making a mental note of whatever the "bite" of something I ate would somehow manage it's way into my daily calorie count. Not!:p Do really well on DD's, but UD's not as strict. Just going to try a little experiment. My blt's today were around 200!:eek: Stupid brownies! I took a pinch here and there and before you know it I had a whole brownie. I think brownies cannot have a place in my home!
haha yes I definitely remember that from WW!! That is especially helpful when cooking. So easy to have BLTs then!!! Chewing gum helps!
oh yes! I make sure to put in a super minty one when I cook. Because even if I were to take it out, I really don't want to put anything in with all that "minty-ness" lol. I find fruit-flavoured or dessert gums make me crave sweets IMO.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|Influenza (Flu)
|See also
The influenza vaccination is an annual vaccination using a vaccine specific for a given year to protect against the highly variable influenza virus.[1] Each seasonal influenza vaccine contains antigens representing three (trivalent vaccine) or four (quadrivalent vaccine) influenza virus strains: one influenza type A subtype H1N1 virus strain, one influenza type A subtype H3N2 virus strain, and either one or two influenza type B virus strains.[2] Influenza vaccines may be administered as an injection, also known as a flu shot, or as a nasal spray.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone over the ages of 6 months should receive the seasonal influenza vaccine.[3] Vaccination campaigns usually focus on people who are at high risk of serious complications if they catch the flu, such as the elderly and people living with chronic illness or those with weakened immune systems, as well as health care workers.[3][4]
Most flu vaccines provide significant protection against the virus.[5] Despite somewhat limited research, the safety of flu vaccines is reassuring; there is no evidence that they can cause serious harm, and no reason for serious side effects to be a concern.[5]
According to the CDC, getting the flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself against the flu and to help prevent its spread throughout the community. The flu vaccine can also reduce the severity of the flu even if a person contracts a strain of the flu that the vaccine did not contain.[6]
A vaccine is assessed by its efficacy; the extent to which it reduces risk of disease under controlled conditions, and its effectiveness, the observed reduction in risk after the vaccine is put into use.[7] In the case of influenza, effectiveness is expected to be lower than the efficacy because it is measured using the rates of influenza-like illness, which is not always caused by influenza.[8] Influenza vaccines generally show high efficacy, as measured by the antibody production induced in animal models or vaccinated people,[9] or most rigorously, by immunizing healthy adult volunteers and then challenging them with virulent influenza virus.[10] However, studies on the effectiveness of flu vaccines in the real world are uniquely difficult; vaccines may be imperfectly matched, virus prevalence varies widely between years, and influenza is often confused with other influenza-like illnesses.[11] However, in most years (16 of the 19 years before 2007), the flu vaccine strains have been a good match for the circulating strains,[12] and even a mis-matched vaccine can often provide cross-protection.[13]
Nevertheless, multiple clinical trials of both live and inactivated influenza vaccines against seasonal influenza have been performed and their results pooled and analyzed in several 2012 meta-analyses. Studies on live vaccines have very limited data, but these preparations may be more effective than inactivated vaccines.[10] The meta-analyses examined the efficacy and effectiveness of inactivated vaccines against seasonal influenza in adults,[8] children,[14] and the elderly.[15][16] In adults, vaccines show a three-quarters reduction in risk of contracting influenza (4% influenza rate among the unvaccinated versus 1% among vaccinated persons) when the vaccine is perfectly matched to the virus and a one-half reduction (2% get flu without vaccine versus 1% with vaccine) when it is not, but no significant effect on the rate of hospitalization.[8] However, the risk of serious complications from influenza is small in adults, so unless the effect from vaccination is large it might not have been detected. In children, vaccines again showed high efficacy, but low effectiveness in preventing "flu-like illness". In children under the age of two the data are extremely limited, but vaccination appeared to confer no measurable benefit.[14] In the elderly, while many individual studies show effectiveness,[17][18][19] the overall evidence is still insufficient evidence to draw clear conclusions on the effectiveness of vaccination,[15][16][20][21] including a new high-dose flu vaccine specifically formulated to provide a larger immune response.[22] Available evidence indicates that the high-dose vaccine produces a stronger immune response, and a study designed to determine the effectiveness of Fluzone High-Dose in preventing illness from influenza compared with Fluzone is expected to be completed in 2014–2015.[23]
During an influenza pandemic, where a single strain of virus is responsible for illnesses, an effective vaccine could produce a large decrease in the number of cases and be highly effective in controlling an epidemic.[24] However, such a vaccine would have to be produced and distributed rapidly to have maximum effect.[25] Such distribution challenges may be met with good success.[citation needed] Overall, vaccines against the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic were found to be effective in a Scottish study.[26]
A 2011 meta-study published in the journal The Lancet, "Efficacy and Effectiveness of Influenza Vaccines," analyzed 31 prior studies on the effectiveness of influenza vaccination trials conducted between 1967 and 2011. The analysis found that flu shots were efficacious 67 percent of the time; the populations that benefited the most were HIV-positive adults ages 18 to 55 (76 percent), healthy adults ages 18 to 46 (approximately 70 percent) and healthy children ages 6 to 24 months (66 percent).[21]
The group most vulnerable to non-pandemic flu, the elderly, is also the least to benefit from the vaccine. There are multiple reasons behind this steep decline in vaccine efficacy, the most common of which are the declining immunological function and frailty associated with advanced age.[27] In a non-pandemic year, a person in the United States aged 50–64 is nearly ten times more likely to die an influenza-associated death than a younger person, and a person over age 65 is over ten times more likely to die an influenza-associated death than the 50–64 age group.[28]
As mortality is also high among infants who contract influenza, the household contacts and caregivers of infants should be vaccinated to reduce the risk of passing an influenza infection to the infant.[4] Data from the years when Japan required annual flu vaccinations for school-aged children indicate that vaccinating children—the group most likely to catch and spread the disease—has a strikingly positive effect on reducing mortality among older people, due to herd immunity: one life saved for every 420 children who received the flu vaccine.[29] However, a 2010 Cochrane review found that the same benefit did not extend to vaccinating health care workers working with elderly patients in long-term care facilities.[30] In working adults, by contrast, Cochrane found that vaccination reduced both influenza symptoms and working days lost, without affecting transmission or influenza-related complications.[8]
According to work published in 1973, 1983, and 2004, after vaccination against seasonal flu, antibody titres peak after typically two to four weeks. They decrease by about 50% over the next six months (the decrease is less for older adults), then remain stable for two to three years; protection without revaccination persists for at least three years for children and young adults.[31]
It has been assumed, but not definitively proven, that vaccination provides lifelong protection against the specific strains in the vaccine.[32] The limited studies available do provide some evidence of a long-term immune effect. Immunity apparently does last a lifetime where it results from an actual flu infection, (as distinct from simply a vaccination). A 2008 study, published in Nature, found that 90 years after the 1918 pandemic, survivors had antibody-producing cells that produced antibodies with "remarkable power to block 1918 flu virus infection in mice, proving that, even nine decades after infection with this virus, survivors retain protection from it".[33] As to long-term immunity from vaccination, a 2010 study found a significantly enhanced immune response against the 2009 pandemic H1N1 in study participants who had received vaccination against a different swine flu outbreak in 1976, over 30 years before.[34]
Flu vaccines are available either as
TIV induces protection after injection (typically intramuscular, though subcutaneous and intradermal routes can also be protective)[35] based on an immune response to the antigens present on the inactivated virus, while cold-adapted LAIV works by establishing infection in the nasal passages.[36]
LAIV is not recommended for individuals under age 2 or over age 50,[37] but might be comparatively more effective among children over age 2.[38]
A study of military personnel showed that flu shots yielded less illness than nasal spray. This study was based on one of the largest head-to-head studies comparing LAIV and TIV. It was conducted by the U.S. Armed Forces Surveillance Center, on military personnel stationed in the U.S. during three flu seasons from 2004 through 2007. Investigators concluded that: "It may be prudent to use TIV in patients who were vaccinated at least once in the past 2 years [...] but LAIV against pandemic strains may be more protective than inactivated vaccines, because the population will probably lack preexisting immunity."[39]
Annual seasonal flu vaccination provides some protection against flu viruses that the vaccine was not designed for, including novel viruses.[40] The CDC made the following statement in relation to the 2007-2008 vaccine:
The cost-effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccination has been widely evaluated for different groups and in different settings.[41] In the elderly (aged over 65 years) the majority of published studies have found that vaccination is cost saving, with the cost savings associated with influenza vaccination (e.g. prevented health care visits) outweighing the cost of vaccination.[42] In older adults (aged 50–64 years), several published studies have found that influenza vaccination is likely to be cost-effective, however the results of these studies were often found to be dependent on key assumptions used in the economic evaluations.[43] The uncertainty in influenza cost-effectiveness models can partially be explained by the complexities involved in estimating the disease burden,[44] as well as the seasonal variability in the circulating strains and the match of the vaccine.[45][46] In healthy working adults (aged 18–49 years), a 2012 review found that vaccination was generally not cost-saving, with the suitability for funding being dependent on the willingness to pay to obtain the associated health benefits.[47] In children, the majority of studies have found that influenza vaccination was cost-effective, however many of the studies included (indirect) productivity gains, which may not be given the same weight in all settings.[48] Several studies have attempted to predict the cost-effectiveness of interventions (including prepandemic vaccination) to help protect against a future pandemic, however estimating the cost-effectiveness has been complicated by uncertainty as to the severity of a potential future pandemic and the efficacy of measures against it.[49]
Influenza vaccine has been demonstrated to significantly reduce disease, hospitalization, and death, both in numerous controlled studies and in painstaking scientific reviews of these studies. The CDC reports that studies demonstrate that vaccination is a cost-effective counter-measure to seasonal outbreaks of influenza.[50]
According to research published in July 2010, vaccination against influenza is especially important for members of high-risk groups who would be likely to suffer complications from influenza, for example pregnant women[51][52] and children and teenagers from six months to 18 years of age;[53]
In one study of the elderly, flu vaccines cut the risk of death from influenza in half, and reduced the chance of hospitalization by more than a quarter.[55][56][not in citation given]
For healthy, working adults, influenza vaccines can provide moderate protection[citation needed] against virologically confirmed influenza, but such protection is greatly reduced or absent in some seasons. Evidence for protection in adults aged 65 years or older is lacking. New vaccines with improved clinical efficacy and effectiveness are needed to further reduce influenza-related morbidity and mortality.[57]
Influenza vaccination has been shown highly effective in health care workers (HCW), with minimal adverse effects. In a study of forty matched nursing homes, staff influenza vaccination rates were 69.9% in the vaccination arm versus 31.8% in the control arm. The vaccinated staff experienced a 42% reduction in sick leave from work (P=.03).[58] A review of eighteen studies likewise found a strong net benefit to health care workers.[59] Of these eighteen HCW studies, only two also assessed the relationship of patient mortality relative to staff influenza vaccine uptake; both found that higher rates of health care worker vaccination correlated with reduced patient deaths.[59] An analysis of data and patient population health in New Mexico's 75 long-term care facilities nursing homes found that as vaccination rates of health care personnel with direct patient contact rose from 51 to 75 percent, the chances of a flu outbreak among patients in that facility went down by 87 percent. The New Mexico study showed that vaccinating health care personnel provided more protection to residents than vaccinating the residents themselves.[60] In a 2010 survey of United States healthcare workers, 63.5% reported that they received the flu vaccine during the 2010–11 season, an increase from 61.9% reported the previous season. Health professionals with direct patient contact had higher vaccination uptake, such as physicians and dentists (84.2%) and nurse practitioners (82.6%).[61][62][63]
It is important to note that the flu vaccine takes about two weeks to build up enough antibodies to protect against the flu (thus making the vaccinated person protected against the disease),[2] and that the vaccine does not protect against every strain of the flu.[2]
Vaccination of school-age children has a strong protective effect on the adults and elderly with whom the children are in contact.[64] Children born to mothers who received flu vaccination while pregnant are strongly protected from having to be hospitalized with the flu. "The effectiveness of influenza vaccine given to mothers during pregnancy in preventing hospitalization among their infants, adjusted for potential confounders, was 91.5%."[65]
In 2006, the United States began recommending influenza vaccinations for preschoolers, but Canada did not follow suit until 2010, "thereby creating a natural experiment to evaluate the effect of the policy in the United States."[66] Studying the period from the 2006 recommendation by the US and until 2010 when the Canadian recommendation to vaccinate preschoolers was initiated, a Canadian study compared the proportion of pediatric emergency room (ER) visits that were for influenza-like illnesses at a Boston (US) children's hospital and at a Montreal (Canadian) children's hospital over the course of several flu seasons. The study found that following the 2006 recommendation, the proportion of ER visits for influenza-like illness among 2- to 4-year-olds declined in Boston relative to the proportion of ER visits for influenza-like illness among 2- to 4-year-olds in Montreal.[67]
In another six-year observational study, vaccination of children aged six months through five years was found to prevent illness in more than half.[68]
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone except children under the age of six months should receive the seasonal influenza vaccine.[3] Vaccination campaigns usually focus special attention on people who are at high risk of serious complications if they catch the flu, such as pregnant women, children over six months, the elderly,[69] and people living with chronic illness or those with weakened immune systems, as well as those to whom they are exposed, such as health care workers.[3][4]
Where side effects of flu vaccine occur they can be minor and the safety of flu vaccines is said to be high. However children have died as a result of the flu vaccine or being irreparably damaged, so extra care should be taken when giving the flu vaccine to children ([70] The side effects and any risks of inoculation pale when compared to the risks and severe health effects of the annual influenza epidemic's well-documented toll of illness, hospitalization, and death. In a typical year, the risks of succumbing to the annual epidemic are more than doubled by remaining unvaccinated.[citation needed]
Flu vaccination may lead to side effects such as runny nose and sore throat, which can last for up to several days. Egg allergy may also be a concern, since flu vaccines are typically made using eggs,[71][72] however research into egg-allergy and influenza vaccination [73] has led some advisory groups to recommend vaccine delivery protocols for egg allergic persons.[74] On January 17, 2013, the U.S. FDA approved Flublok, a faster-turnaround influenza vaccine which is the first grown in insect cells instead of eggs. It will be available in the 2013-14 season for people age 18-49, and avoids the problem with egg allergies.[75]
Although Guillain-Barré syndrome had been feared as a complication of vaccination, the CDC states that most studies on modern influenza vaccines have seen no link with Guillain-Barré.[76][77] Getting infected by influenza itself increases both the risk of death (up to 1 in 10,000) and increases the risk of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome to a much higher level than the highest level of suspected vaccine involvement (approx. 10 times higher by 2009 estimates).[78][79]
A review has concluded that the 2009 H1N1 ("swine flu") vaccine has a safety profile similar to that of seasonal vaccine.[80] Although one review gives an incidence of about one case of Guillain-Barré per million vaccinations,[81] a large study in China, reported in The New England Journal of Medicine covering close to 100 million doses of vaccine against the 2009 H1N1 "swine" flu found only eleven cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, (0.1 per million doses) total incidence in persons vaccinated, actually lower than the normal rate of the disease in China, and no other notable side effects; "The risk-benefit ratio, which is what vaccines and everything in medicine is about, is overwhelmingly in favor of vaccination."[82][83] Several studies have identified an increased incidence of narcolepsy among recipients of the pandemic H1N1 influenza ASO3-adjuvanted vaccine,[84] efforts to identify a mechanism for this suggest that narcolepsy is autoimmune, and that the H1N1 vaccine may mimic hypocretin, serving as a trigger.[85]
Some injection-based flu vaccines intended for adults in the United States contain thiomersal (also known as thimerosal), a mercury-based preservative. Despite some controversy in the media,[86] the World Health Organization's Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety has concluded that there is no evidence of toxicity from thiomersal in vaccines and no reason on grounds of safety to change to more-expensive single-dose administration.[87]
Various public health organizations, including the World Health Organization, have recommended that yearly influenza vaccination be routinely offered to patients at risk of complications of influenza and those individuals who live with or care for high-risk individuals, including:
Both types of flu vaccines are contraindicated for those with severe allergies to egg proteins and people with a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome.[96]
As of 2013, the UN World Health Organization recommends vaccination for, in order of priority:[97]
According to the CDC, the live attenuated virus (which comes in the forum of the nasal spray in the US) should be avoided by:
In 2008, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, the group that advises the Public Health Agency of Canada, recommended that everyone aged 2 to 64 years be encouraged to receive annual influenza vaccination, and that children between the age of six and 24 months, and their household contacts, should be considered a high priority for the flu vaccine.[99] The NACI also recommends the flu vaccine for:[100]
In the United States, "Routine influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons aged ≥ 6 months" since 2010.[51][101][102]
Within its blanket recommendation for general vaccination in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who began recommending the influenza vaccine to health care workers in 1981, emphasizes to clinicians the special urgency of vaccination for members of certain vulnerable groups, and their caregivers:
The U.S. government requires hospitals to report worker vaccination rates. Some U.S. states and hundreds of U.S. hospitals require health-care workers to either get vaccinations or wear masks during flu season. These requirements occasionally engender union lawsuits on narrow collective bargaining grounds, but proponents note that courts have generally endorsed forced vaccination laws affecting the general population during disease outbreaks.[105]

Vaccines have been formulated against several of the avian H5N1 influenza varieties. Vaccination of poultry against the ongoing H5N1 epizootic is widespread in certain countries. Some vaccines also exist for use in humans, and others are in testing, but none have been made available to civilian populations, nor produced in quantities sufficient to protect more than a tiny fraction of the Earth's population in the event of an H5N1 pandemic.
Flu vaccine is usually grown by vaccine manufacturers in fertilized chicken eggs.[106][107] In the Northern hemisphere, the manufacturing process begins following the announcement (typically in February) of the WHO recommended strains for the winter flu season.[106][108] Three strains (representing an H1N1, an H3N2, and a B strain) of flu are selected and chicken eggs inoculated separately, these monovalent harvests are then combined to make the trivalent vaccine.[109]
As of November 2007[update], both the conventional injection and the nasal spray are manufactured using chicken eggs.[107] The European Union has also approved Optaflu, a vaccine produced by Novartis using vats of animal cells.[107] This technique is expected to be more scalable and avoid problems with eggs, such as allergic reactions and incompatibility with strains that affect avians like chickens.[107] Research continues into the idea of a "universal" influenza vaccine that would not require tailoring to a particular strain, but would be effective against a broad variety of influenza viruses. However, no vaccine candidates had been announced by Nov 2007.[107]
A DNA-based vaccination, which is hoped to be even faster to manufacture, is as of 2011 in clinical trials, determining safety and efficacy.[110]
On November 20, 2012, Novartis received FDA approval for the first cell-culture vaccine.[111][112][113]
In a 2007 report, the global capacity of approximately 826 million seasonal influenza vaccine doses (inactivated and live) was double the production of 413 million doses. In an aggressive scenario of producing pandemic influenza vaccines by 2013, only 2.8 billion courses could be produced in a six-month time frame. If all high- and upper-middle-income countries sought vaccines for their entire populations in a pandemic, nearly 2 billion courses would be required. If China pursued this goal as well, more than 3 billion courses would be required to serve these populations.[114] Vaccine research and development is ongoing to identify novel vaccine approaches that could produce much greater quantities of vaccine at a price that is affordable to the global population.
Methods of vaccine generation that bypass the need for eggs include the construction of influenza virus-like particles (VLP). VLP resemble viruses, but there is no need for inactivation, as they do not include viral coding elements, but merely present antigens in a similar manner to a virion. Some methods of producing VLP include cultures of Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 insect cells and plant-based vaccine production (e.g., production in Nicotiana benthamiana). There is evidence that some VLPs elicit antibodies that recognize a broader panel of antigenically distinct viral isolates compared to other vaccines in the hemagglutination-inhibition assay (HIA).[115]
Each year, three strains are chosen for selection in that year's flu vaccination by the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network. The chosen strains are the H1N1, H3N2, and Type-B strains thought most likely to cause significant human suffering in the coming season. Starting with the 2012-2013 Northern Hemisphere influenza season (coincident with the approval of quadrivalent influenza vaccines), the WHO has also recommended a 2nd B-strain for use in quadrivalent vaccines. The World Health Organization coordinates the contents of the vaccine each year to contain the most likely strains of the virus to attack the next year.
The Global Influenza Surveillance Network's selection of viruses for the vaccine manufacturing process is based on its best estimate of which strains will predominate the next year, amounting in the end to well-informed but fallible guesswork.[117]
Formal WHO recommendations first issued in 1973; beginning 1999 there have been two recommendations per year, one for the northern hemisphere (N) and the other for the southern hemisphere (S).[118]
Historical annual reformulations of the influenza vaccine are listed in a separate article. Recent[update] WHO seasonal influenza vaccine composition recommendations:
The composition of trivalent virus vaccines for use in the 2014-2015 Northern Hemisphere influenza season recommended by the World Health Organization on February 20, 2014 was:
The WHO recommends that quadrivalent vaccines containing two influenza B viruses contain the above three viruses and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus.[119]
The composition of virus vaccines for use in the 2014 Southern Hemisphere influenza season recommended by the World Health Organization September 26, 2013 was:
It is recommended that quadrivalent vaccines containing two influenza B viruses contain the above three viruses and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus.[120]
The H1N1 strain used in these compositions is the same strain used in the 2009 flu pandemic vaccine, now known as A(H1N1)pdm09.[121] As of December 2013[update], vaccine manufacturers estimate that 138-145 million doses of flu vaccine to be produced during the 2013-2014 Northern Hemisphere influenza season.[122]
Every year, multiple manufacturers produce and market the influenza vaccination. Below is a list of the common vaccinations available:[123]
•Flulaval - Distributed by GlaxoSmithKline and manufactured in Quebec City, QC, Canada.[124]
•Afluria - Distributed by Merck and manufactured in Parkville, Victoria Australia.[125]
•Fluarix - Distributed by GlaxoSmithKline and manufactured in Dresden, Germany.[126]
•Fluvirin -Distributed by Novartis and manufactured in Liverpool, UK[127]
•Fluzone - Distributed by Sanofi Pasteur and manufactured in Swiftwater, PA 18370 USA.[128]
Vaccines are used in both humans and nonhumans. Human vaccine is meant unless specifically identified as a veterinary, poultry or livestock vaccine.
The first influenza pandemic was recorded in 1580.[129] However, the etiological cause of influenza, the orthomyxoviridae was discovered by the Medical Research Council (MRC) of the United Kingdom in 1933.[130]

In the world wide Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, "Physicians tried everything they knew, everything they had ever heard of, from the ancient art of bleeding patients, to administering oxygen, to developing new vaccines and sera (chiefly against what we now call Hemophilus influenzae—a name derived from the fact that it was originally considered the etiological agent—and several types of pneumococci). Only one therapeutic measure, transfusing blood from recovered patients to new victims, showed any hint of success."[137]
In 1931, viral growth in embryonated hens' eggs was reported by Ernest William Goodpasture and colleagues at Vanderbilt University. The work was extended to growth of influenza virus by several workers, including Thomas Francis, Jonas Salk, Wilson Smith and Macfarlane Burnet, leading to the first experimental influenza vaccines.[138] In the 1940s, the US military developed the first approved inactivated vaccines for influenza, which were used in the Second World War.[139] Hen's eggs continued to be used to produce virus used in influenza vaccines, but manufacturers made improvements in the purity of the virus by developing improved processes to remove egg proteins and to reduce systemic reactivity of the vaccine.[140] Recently, the US FDA has approved influenza vaccines made by growing virus in cell cultures[141] and influenza vaccines made from recombinant proteins[142] have been approved, with plant-based influenza vaccines being tested in clinical trials.[143]
According to the CDC: "Influenza vaccination is the primary method for preventing influenza and its severe complications. [...] Vaccination is associated with reductions in influenza-related respiratory illness and physician visits among all age groups, hospitalization and death among persons at high risk, otitis media among children, and work absenteeism among adults. Although influenza vaccination levels increased substantially during the 1990s, further improvements in vaccine coverage levels are needed".[144]
The egg-based technology (still in use as of 2005) for producing influenza vaccine was created in the 1950s.[145] In the U.S. swine flu scare of 1976, President Gerald Ford was confronted with a potential swine flu pandemic. The vaccination program was rushed, yet plagued by delays and public relations problems. Meanwhile, maximum military containment efforts succeeded unexpectedly in confining the new strain to the single army base where it had originated. On that base a number of soldiers fell severely ill, but only one died. The program was canceled, after about 24% of the population had received vaccinations. An excess in deaths of twenty-five over normal annual levels as well as 400 excess hospitalizations, both from Guillain-Barré syndrome, were estimated to have occurred from the vaccination program itself, illustrating that vaccine itself is not free of risks. The result has been cited to stoke lingering doubts about vaccination.[146] In the end, however, even the maligned 1976 vaccine may have saved lives. A 2010 study found a significantly enhanced immune response against the 2009 pandemic H1N1 in study participants who had received vaccination against the swine flu in 1976.[34]
Influenza research includes molecular virology, molecular evolution, pathogenesis, host immune responses, genomics, and epidemiology. These help in developing influenza countermeasures such as vaccines, therapies and diagnostic tools. Improved influenza countermeasures require basic research on how viruses enter cells, replicate, mutate, evolve into new strains and induce an immune response. The Influenza Genome Sequencing Project is creating a library of influenza sequences[147] that will help us understand what makes one strain more lethal than another, what genetic determinants most affect immunogenicity, and how the virus evolves over time. Solutions to limitations in current[when?] vaccine methods are being researched.
According to VaccineNewsDaily, a recent study published in Vaccines found that by providing a school-located vaccination clinic, flu vaccination rates among children increased 13.2 percent when compared to children in schools without vaccination clinics. The vaccine can be lifesaving for children and less costly than a doctor's office visit.[148]
The rapid development, production, and distribution of pandemic influenza vaccines could potentially save millions of lives during an influenza pandemic. Due to the short time frame between identification of a pandemic strain and need for vaccination, researchers are looking at novel technologies for vaccine production that could provide better "real-time" access and be produced more affordably, thereby increasing access for people living in low- and moderate-income countries, where an influenza pandemic may likely originate, such as live attenuated (egg-based or cell-based) technology and recombinant technologies (proteins and virus-like particles).[149] As of July 2009, more than 70 known clinical trials have been completed or are ongoing for pandemic influenza vaccines.[150] In September 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration approved four vaccines against the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus (the 2009 pandemic strain), and expected the initial vaccine lots to be available within the following month.[151] A quadrivalent flu vaccine administered by nasal mist was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2012.[152][153] Fluarix Quadrivalent was approved by the FDA in December 2012.[154]
Many groups worldwide are pursuing development of a universal flu vaccine that does not require modification each year.[155] Companies pursuing the vaccine as of 2009 and 2010 include BiondVax,[156] Theraclone,[157] Dynavax Technologies Corporation,[158] VaxInnate,[159] Crucell NV,[160] Inovio Pharmaceuticals,[161] and Immune Targeting Systems (ITS)[162]
In 2008, Acambis announced work on a universal flu vaccine (ACAM-FLU-ATM) based on the less variable M2 protein component of the flu virus shell.[163] The vaccine was tested in a human trial in the United States, where it was reported in 2008 to have developed antibodies against flu virus in 90% of individuals; further human trials were planned.[164] See also H5N1 vaccines.
In 2009, the Wistar Institute received a patent for using "a variety of peptides" in a flu vaccine, and announced it was seeking a corporate partner.[165]
In 2010, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the U.S. NIH announced a breakthrough; the effort targets the stem, which mutates less often than the head of the virus.[166]
DNA vaccines, such as VGX-3400X (aimed at multiple H5N1 strains), contain DNA fragments (plasmids).[161][167] Inovio's SynCon DNA vaccines include H5N1 and H1N1 subtypes.[168]
In July 2011, researchers created an antibody, which targets a protein found on the surface of all influenza A viruses called haemagglutinin.[169][170][171] F16 is the only known antibody that binds (its neutralizing activity is controversial) to all 16 subtypes of the influenza A virus hemagglutinin and might be the lynchpin for a universal influenza vaccine.[169][170][171] The subdomain of the hemagglutinin that is targeted by FI6, namely the stalk domain, was actually successfully used earlier as universal influenza virus vaccine by Peter Palese's research group at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.[172]
Other vaccines are polypeptide based.[173]
Some universal flu vaccines have started early stage clinical trials.
Based on the results of animal studies, a universal flu vaccine may use a two-step vaccination strategy — priming with a DNA-based HA vaccine followed by a second dose with an inactivated, attenuated, or adenovirus-vector–based vaccine.[180]
Some people given a 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine have developed broadly protective antibodies, raises hopes for a universal flu vaccine.[181][182][183]
On February 13, 2013, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Chief Scientist Jesse Goodman predicted that a universal flu vaccine was still 5 to 10 years away. When asked about the prospects of a universal flu vaccine in a hearing before House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Goodman replied "Nature is very tricky and as this is a very crafty virus, so I'd be very hesitant to predict... I think the earliest we'd begin to see something with clinical benefit might be 5 to 10 years."[184]
"Vaccination in the veterinary world pursues four goals: (i) protection from clinical disease, (ii) protection from infection with virulent virus, (iii) protection from virus excretion, and (iv) serological differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (so-called DIVA principle). In the field of influenza vaccination, neither commercially available nor experimentally tested vaccines have been shown so far to fulfill all of these requirements."[185]
Horses with horse flu can run a fever, have a dry hacking cough, have a runny nose, and become depressed and reluctant to eat or drink for several days but usually recover in two to three weeks. "Vaccination schedules generally require a primary course of 2 doses, 3–6 weeks apart, followed by boosters at 6–12 month intervals. It is generally recognized that in many cases such schedules may not maintain protective levels of antibody and more frequent administration is advised in high-risk situations."[186]
It is a common requirement at shows in the United Kingdom that horses be vaccinated against equine flu and a vaccination card must be produced; the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) requires vaccination every six months.[187][188]
Poultry vaccines for bird flu are made on the cheap and are not filtered and purified like human vaccines to remove bits of bacteria or other viruses. They usually contain whole virus, not just hemagglutinin as in most human flu vaccines. Purification to standards needed for humans is far more expensive than the original creation of the unpurified vaccine from eggs. There is no market for veterinary vaccines that are that expensive. Another difference between human and poultry vaccines is that poultry vaccines are adjuvated with mineral oil, which induces a strong immune reaction but can cause inflammation and abscesses. "Chicken vaccinators who have accidentally jabbed themselves have developed painful swollen fingers or even lost thumbs, doctors said. Effectiveness may also be limited. Chicken vaccines are often only vaguely similar to circulating flu strains — some contain an H5N2 strain isolated in Mexico years ago. 'With a chicken, if you use a vaccine that's only 85 percent related, you'll get protection,' Dr. Cardona said. 'In humans, you can get a single point mutation, and a vaccine that's 99.99 percent related won't protect you.' And they are weaker [than human vaccines]. 'Chickens are smaller and you only need to protect them for six weeks, because that's how long they live till you eat them,' said Dr. John J. Treanor, a vaccine expert at the University of Rochester. Human seasonal flu vaccines contain about 45 micrograms of antigen, while an experimental A(H5N1) vaccine contains 180. Chicken vaccines may contain less than 1 microgram. 'You have to be careful about extrapolating data from poultry to humans,' warned Dr. David E. Swayne, director of the agriculture department's Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory. 'Birds are more closely related to dinosaurs.'"[189]
Researchers, led by Nicholas Savill of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, used mathematical models to simulate the spread of H5N1 and concluded that "at least 95 percent of birds need to be protected to prevent the virus spreading silently. In practice, it is difficult to protect more than 90 percent of a flock; protection levels achieved by a vaccine are usually much lower than this."[190] The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has issued recommendations on the prevention and control of avian influenza in poultry, including the use of vaccination.[191]
A filtered and purified Influenza A vaccine for humans is being developed[when?] and many countries have recommended it be stockpiled so if an Avian influenza pandemic starts jumping to humans, the vaccine can quickly be administered to avoid loss of life. Avian influenza is sometimes called avian flu, and commonly bird flu.[192]
Swine origin influenza virus (SoIV) vaccines are extensively used in the swine industry in Europe and North America. Most swine flu vaccine manufacturers include an H1N1 and an H3N2 SoIV strains.
Swine influenza has been recognized as a greater problem since the outbreak in 1976. Evolution of the virus has resulted in inconsistent responses to traditional vaccines. Standard commercial swine origin flu vaccines are effective in controlling the problem when the virus strains match enough to have significant cross-protection and custom (autogenous) vaccines made from the specific viruses isolated are created and used in the more difficult cases.[193] SoIV vaccine manufacture Novartis paints this picture: "A strain of swine origin influenza virus (SoIV) called H3N2, first identified in the US in 1998, has brought exasperating production losses to swine producers. Abortion storms are a common sign. Sows go off feed for two or three days and run a fever up to 106°F. Mortality in a naïve herd can run as high as 15%."[194]
In 2004, Influenza A virus subtype H3N8 was discovered to cause canine influenza. Because of the lack of previous exposure to this virus, dogs have no natural immunity to this virus. However, a vaccine is now available.[195]
|url= missing title (help). "Students or other persons in institutional settings (e.g., those who reside in dormitories or correctional facilities) should be encouraged to receive vaccine to minimize morbidity and the disruption of routine activities during influenza epidemics"

EFI won't start after winter
Spring comes late in the Rockies. Went to start the Z, charged the battery, turned the ignition on for a minute, cranked it over, no go. Repeated the priming, still no go. Let sit over night, repeated the priming still no start.
Checked this site, and found out about the schrader valve. Pressed it with the ignition off, got a little spurt. Tried priming again for a minute, and almost got a start.
Tried priming with the ignition on, got a lot more gas. Primed it again and once again got an almost start.
I know I can call the dealer, (25 miles away) but looking for anything else to try.
If I want to check the fuel pickup I assume that I just basically pull the fitting out of the tank. It appears to be a rubber grommet press fit. Am I correct.
Got good fuel, have the tank selector to the full tank, apparently I am getting fuel to the injectors, cause the schrader relief valve let out fuel each time.
Need som advice an something else to try befor I call the dealer. Thanks
This post is a couple days old, sorry for the delay, have you resolved this?
You are correct on the fuel pick ups.
Did you by chance change the fuel filter in the system? if so or if you do crack those lines open you need to pre-fill the fuel filter before re-installing it.
Let me know.
Kept priming the injector system with 3 one minute cycles, still no go. Took the fuel pickup out and checked the check valve, it was ok. Put it all back together (45 seconds) let it prime for 2 minutes, still no go. Released pressure at the schreader vavle two more times, go very little gas, (maybe a tablespoon). Turned the key and it started. Ran rough for about 10 seconds, and then it was fine.
I know my dealer could have done it but I hate to have him come 25 miles to do something I could do.
I do put stabilizer in the gas, and I do start it on sunny warm days all winter, apparently just not often enough.

I am not certain as to whether this is a country wide option or not but I have recently taken on a new ICT Technician who has tinkering capabilities only but is a very good learner so I wanted to get him some training.
I attending a meeting at which I discovered that he could obtain around 13,800 pounds worth of training under what was called the Zenos Academy Advanced Traineeship. I had to sign up to permit him absence from work to attend the workshops which amounts to 27 days over an 18 month period but he would (on completion and successfully passing exams) be awareded, Advanced Apprenticeship Certificate, Options to do MCP/MCSA/MCDST as part of training scheduled programme, City and Guilds Advanced Diploma for IT Practioners, NVQ Level 3, Key Skills Level 2.
All this is government funded. If you are interested you could contact Zenos thorugh Zenos Advanced Apprenticeships If you have any technicians that fit the bill, under 25 and do not have a degree it could be useful for them. Wish I was under 25 :roll:
If anyone wants any further info mail me or reply on here

Re-offending armed robber given life sentence
Updated On: Aug 12 2014 05:58:38 PM EDT
Anthony Ray Christopher, 30, was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison for his conviction of armed robbery.
In July 2010, Christopher robbed the Kangaroo gas station on Old Middleburg Road. Surveillance video showed the defendant entering the store and walking around, looking at items near the register. As Christopher engaged in conversation with the victim, who was working behind the register, he pulled out a pistol, took the victim's smartphone, demanded the $96 in the cash register and fled.
Christopher then listed the stolen phone for sale on Craigslist. When the purchaser found out the phone was stolen, he contacted the victim. Investigators tracked down the defendant through the information listed on the Craigslist posting.
Since Christopher has a prior conviction for robbery in Camden County, Georgia, he was designated a prison-release re-offender and sentenced under those guidelines.

Exercising after submuscular breast augmentation
If you are in the immediate post operative period then you must follow the post operative instructions of your surgeon. because if you do not follow your surgeons instructions, you are to blame for any complications.
In the long run patients with submuscular implants can go back to normal exercise routine.
There are some important issues to consider with implants under the muscle and exercise, especially what are called animation deformities. In general, there is no reason why you can't use your pecs but also no benefit in terms of appearance so it may be better to focus on other muscle groups. If you are not a good candidate for implants above the muscle, then a muscle-splitting biplane procedure may be worth looking into.
I personally do not do submuscular breast implants on anyone whom I know will be doing upper body exercises. The reason is that this can cause displacement of the implant, reduction of the breast projection, and, possibly, an increase in rupture rate. If you are going to do this, I would recommend going slow.
After submuscular breast augmentation I generally have my patients wait 6 weeks before performing the chest exercises you have mentioned. I have found that displacement of the implants is less common after this waiting period.

Managing Bitlocker while moving hard drive to new laptop
I have a Dell D820 running Windows 7 Enterprise with Bitlocker active. Because of video problems, I want to move the hard drive to a spare D820 (the spare has no hard drive).
Do I just temporarily disable Bitlocker, or must I decrypt the drive first? The computer with the drive installed in it now is working just enough that I can probably decrypt the drive if I have to.
If I just temporarily disable Bitlocker before swapping the drive into the spare computer, what are the steps for re-enabling Bitlocker? The new computer has its own TPM, but I am not sure of the implications of that.
I'd appreciate knowing what steps I have to follow.
|My System Specs
|07 Aug 2012
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
Just to be safe, I would decrypt the drive, and then just recrypt it when it is on the new laptop.

Housekeeping was erratic
I had a billing issue that they took care of very promptly to my satisfaction. Very good customer service.
Rooms need to be updated
Staff let us park our bikes under shelter. That was very nice since it was cold and raining. and the restaurant was excellent and a good value.
Great location. Room was large. Bed was comfortable.
This experience was excellent. the place was clean and quiet. Would plan to go back.
The YO is a good location and a great full service facility. Really appreciated that they have a full service bar with a great staff. Front desk staff was great as well.
The sleeping rooms were a bit stale and the fixtures aren't the best, however it's functional.
Good location for me
No fridge in room. Had one last time.

Value and service
We loved the bar area, the restaurant and the staff were very friendly and the food was good. Our room was comfortable and the atmosphere was awesome!
We stay here at least once or twice a year ! Spacious room, good food, awesome location ... Will go back next month
My granddaughter loved the pool and it was great to have the bar out there. My daughter and I could have a cocktail.
The location is convenient to nearby shopping and restaurants. Area attractions were easy to get to. We loved it, we'll be back.
Missed having a microwave in the room.
Needs updating
Restaurant was convenient and buffet was excellent! Staff was courteous! Enjoyed the saloon and the live band was good, too!
That we only had one day to stay!
The staff and the location. The room was a little dated and the bed was in need of a new mattress.
The bed
All. Superb food.
The staff were always professional and eager to please
The rooms are outdated, ie comforters on beds- do not care for that; air conditioner unit right next to bed- it blows across your face! The mattresses on beds are too hard.
Historical appeal. Tile floors Open, spacious rooms
Very run down rooms No fitness center Over priced No breakfast offer Upgrade on baseboards, decor upgrade would make this a really appealing place. Fallen a long ways from earlier years when we first stayed there.
West texas appeal. Decor , location, ease to find.
Parts we very dated, hallway was very noisy during night and early morning.
Less variety of food, the same everyday.
Breakfast buffet was very good and staff very attentive.
Room was very dusty. Dust hanging from lamp shades, TV and bed frame was very dusty. No fitted sheet on bottom of bed. The dining area had dust showing from the chandeliers. Complained to front desk. Their answer was to give us two free breakfast vouchers.
Lobby atmosphere was good.
The rooms need a total cleaning. Mold around bathtub and the baseboards in bathroom were caked with dirt and filthy.

Nexplanon vs Implanon: Which is Better – Differences and Similarities
Our friend Pam wants an effective method of birth control. She says she's undecided between either Nexplanon or Implanon because she isn't sure about which one is better. Turns out she is not the only one "debating" the choice as can be seen in the following questions we came across the internets.
From Yahoo! Answers:
Nexplanon VS. Implanon birthcontrol?
So im considering getting one of the 2, but ive heard terrible side affects with implanon and havent heard much about nexplanon(im guessing b/c its new?) So my question(s) are: How was/is implanon for you, side affects? How was/is nexplanon for you, side affects? I know they are basically the same but the doctor tht created implanon created nexplanon b/c implanon had very severe affects to women. please tell me which one you would suggest for me. If it helps, im 17(although everyone is different) and ive never been on BC.
And this one is from a babygaga forum:
I have implanon right now, and i've had it for two years now…. i don't have too many problems with it, except that my periods are all sorts of crazy….heavy…and long…and random… also, i'm not sure if my mood changes are a symptom from it either.
SOOO….. tell me what the differences are vs. implanon and nexplanon…
Yeah, we understand why women are confused about this for, after all:
- They're both made by the same pharmaceutical company, Merck.
- They're both very effective birth control methods (99.95% effective).
- They're both subdermal contraceptive implant which should be removed after three years.
- They contain the same amount of etonogestrel. Nexplanon is a bioequivalent of Implanon.
- They both have the same side effects.
But the difference between the two is that insertion errors (such as placing the implant too deeply) are less likely to happen with Nexplanon because it is equipped with a preloaded applicator which is designed to reduce insertion errors.
Secondly, Nexplanon is radiopaque which means that it can be seen with the help of an x-ray, computed tomography (CT scan), ultrasound scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This makes it easier for medical professionals to see whether the implant was inserted correctly.
So there! Now you know the difference between the two. It's no contest now which one to pick between Implanon or Nexplanon, isn't it?

Having a Patient Care Tech interview at the UW medical center
- 0May 14, '10 by RNmanouI have been working as a cna at a nursing home for nearly 3 years. I just got an interview for a Patient Care Technician position at the University of Washington medical center next week.
What questions should I expect?
- 0Good luck! I also have an interview at a hospital. Mine is on Wednesday. I already went through a phone interview and they ask you a lot of the standard questions (why do you want to work here, name a time you dealt with a difficult situation how did you handle it etc etc). I would guess that they would also want to know about your ability to work in a fast paced environment. I don"t know about you, but I currently work in assisted living which is not that fast paced, but just come up with some good examples of quick learning or something like that. I hope you get the job!
- 0Yeah! I am applying to hospitals in Seattle and on the eastside. Did you apply for the float position at UW or for a particular department?
- 0Oh really? I applied there too, but I only saw a candidate bank for Harborview and the only position at UW med was in diagnostics or something. Maybe I'll have to check that again. So you had a phone interview as well, maybe that is just standard procedure for all of them then. I didn't know that. I wonder how much of a chance you have at getting hired after passing that and going to the on site interview. My interview is actually at Stevens Hospital up in Edmonds.
- 1May 19, '10 by sunnysteph87That's great that it went well! Wow 6 people is a lot. I actually heard back today and was offered a position so I am very excited! I hope you hear back soon!

Erwin Bartmann

Helion and Company October 19, 2013
Currently not in stock.
Like many Germans, Berlin schoolboy Erwin Bartmann fell under the spell of the Zeitgeist cultivated by the Nazis. Convinced he was growing up in the best country in the world, he dreamt of joining the Leibstandarte, Hitler's elite Waffen SS unit. Tall, blond, blue-eyed, and just seventeen-years-old, Erwin fulfilled his dream on Mayday 1941, when he gave up his apprenticeship at the Glaser bakery in Memeler Strasse and walked into the Lichterfelde barracks in Berlin as a raw, volunteer recruit. On arrival at the Eastern Front in late summer 1941, Erwin was assigned to a frontline communications squad attached to 4.Kompanie and soon discovered that survival was a matter of luck - or the protection of a guardian angel. Good fortune finally deserted Erwin on 11 July 1943 when shrapnel sizzled through his lung during the epic Battle of Kursk-Prokhorovka. Following a period of recovery, and promotion to Unterscharführer, Erwin took up a post as machine-gun instructor with the Ausbildung und Ersatz Bataillon, a training unit based close to the eastern section of the Berliner Ring Autobahn. When the Red Army launched its massive assault on the Seelow Heights, Erwin's unit, now incorporated into Regiment Falke, was deployed to the southern flank of the Berlin-Frankfurt Autobahn, close to the River Oder. The German defenses soon crumbled and with the end of the Reich inevitable, Erwin was forced to choose between a struggle for personal survival and the fulfillment of his SS oath of 'loyalty unto death'. From the war on the southern sector of the Eastern Front to a bomb-shattered Berlin populated largely by old men and demoralized lonely women, this candid eyewitness account offers a unique and sometimes surprising perspective on the life of a young Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler volunteer.

Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC, talks about the outlook for the U.S. economy and the jobs market.
The U.S. jobless rate unexpectedly fell in October while employers added fewer workers than forecast, illustrating the "frustratingly slow" progress cited by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke this week. Silvia speaks on Bloomberg Television's "InBusiness With Margaret Brennan." (Source: Bloomberg)
