From the pavement to the packaging, passersby and loyal customers were exposed to a new realm of retail that went beyong a simple purchase.

The pieces are stark, sleek and graphic, using limited colour palettes and diverse mediums such as glass, paper, wood and ceramic.

I was comissioned by Nike South Africa to brand their new running club called 'Braamfie Runners'. I used a typographic approach for the logo and formed a lockup by intergrating the letters 'B' & 'R' to emphasize the movement of running. I also created symbols that represented the different levels of runners: Novice, Intermediate and Experienced.
Each symbol represents an internal organ which is pivotal to the human body when exercising. Namely the Heart, Lungs and Thorax. The complexity of each symbol differentiates the level of the runner as well as the difficulty of the run. Each runner receives their symbol as a sticker to mark their routes around the city.

This is my first range of pillowcase designs. The pillowcases are printed on both sides and have been designed in such a way that one side represents day while the other represents night. You place the pillow on the side that corresponds with the appropriate time of day. In essence, I feel that the pillowcases represent a state of 'conscious sleeping'.

I was asked to design two notebook covers for students in South Africa. I chose to illustrate objects relating to school and making them fun with a quirky tone. They are on sale at local book stores in South Africa.Illustration, Design2011
Fear.Less is a collaborative project between Daniel Ting Chong & Jordan Metcalf. The objects are all representative of weapons/items used in acts of crime in South Africa, both by criminal and the law.
The objects seek to playfully examine the place of fear and crime in South Africa context, framing our obsession with violence and the casual paranoia we all seem to suffer from. By scaling the objects and turning them into artworks, the artists aim to re-contextualise the place these items hold in our everyday lives.
Several different production methods were used to create the final wooden objects.

Hey Julie,
Wish I could go pet the horses with you!
Sounds fun.
When I was freshly sober... I made a list of all the fun things that I did as a little kid. You know... play with some mud. Ride my bike. Throw rocks on ponds. Going to museums. Places of historic interest. Botanical gardens. Fishing. Playing in the sand at the beach. I also made a list of all the things that I wished I could have done as a kid... if I had the money to do it... amusement parks, Boardwalks, zoos, observatories... toy stores. And, since I had a few bucks in my pocket... I started doing a little bit of all of them. I also went out and bought the best camera that I could buy and started shooting between 50 to 100 rolls of film each day.... I bought a guitar, and started fooling around with it again... and my list could go on and on and on.
I was one of those kids that had to grow up and leave home early (13 years old)... and problems around the house kind of kept me from having a child-hood experience. So, I made up for the lost time!!!
It was fun. It did a world of good for me. I think that healthy play is very good for us. And, I've adopted the philosophy that "Life is for living, loving, laughing, learning ... and passing it on!"
Just thinking about this... reminded me of last week. I was trying to help a newcomer... and my mind went to just the thing to do... We went to a local park that historically always had a bunch of stray homeless cats living and breeding in the bushes. I used to take cat food out there and just leave it for them. It made me feel good about myself knowing that I was doing something to help them. When we got to the park... they had did a construction project... and the area that the cats lived in were gone... and by the time we started looking for something else to do -- the newcomer had moved back from the jumping off place... so, we made a plan to do it on another day.
Thanks for sharing!

2009 State of the Industry Report – Part 1
Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going? Those are some of the most fundamental questions we ask ourselves as we go through life. Business isn't any different. From time to time we need to step back and evaluate the state of our businesses, answering those ever-present questions. In times of economic and financial uncertainty, these kinds of thoughts—and discussions—are even more important because the answers will shape the fabric of our businesses for the upcoming years.
In this year's State of the Industry Report, we're going to break it into two sections. This month, we'll focus on the current state of the wide- and grand-format industry, getting a snapshot of how business is and what areas have been affected the most. In our November/December issue, I'll focus on the future of the market: what areas show the largest opportunity for growth, what technology will drive change forward, and where we see ourselves in 12 months.
As you are probably well aware, the wide- and grand-format industry has been converging for the past decade. Your company is probably very different from when it originally opened its doors. No longer are shops only printers, they're partners and facilitators, assisting corporations large and small with their marketing programs and critical projects. And by the time this recession rebounds, the industry will be very different, and every company will look very different than it did back in 2008.
While many financial pundits have officially announced the end of the recession, with the recovery already underway, I think most in the wide- and grand-format industry can agree that it still seems like we're at the bottom—and a very bumpy bottom at that.
No one segment of the industry has been immune from the recession. The entire industry has been hit, regardless of ink technology or application specialty. We've heard about companies closing, about firms merging and consolidating to stay afloat, and about business being off, and not by a few percentage points.
According to Joseph N. Masters, graphic display marketing manager and sustainability manager, Alcan Composites USA, within the overall graphic display industry, "our fabricators tell us that their business is down on average 30 to 50 percent, depending on the shop, and business hunger is driving aggressive sales approaches. We've certainly seen some shops close in this economy."
"We have seen market declines related to this economic downturn in the range of 15 to 20 percent in terms of volume, and I think perhaps greater in terms of revenue because of the discounting and 'mix' changes that drive revenue downward," said Tim Greene, director, Wide Format & Jetting Technologies, InfoTrends.
"From watching dealer sell-through of hardware, it appears that the market has hit bottom in Q3, 2009. The quarter over quarter declines have stopped, and we're likely to see some renewed growth in Q4, 2009. However, it has to be put into context because while we may see statistics that show 10 percent or higher growth from Q3 to Q4, 2009 in unit sales, the reality is that sales may still be down as much as 40 percent or more when compared to one year ago," said Marco Boer, partner, IT Strategies.
The New Normal
In some instances, the growth in previous years made this crisis more painful, as companies had to adjust to the new economic realities. "The industry has been used to double digit growth in large format graphics market overall for a number of years now," said Christopher Howard, senior vice president, sales & marketing, Durst Image Technology US, LLC, "so the slowdown has certainly been a bit of a difficult environment."
"The industry as a whole is struggling," said Angie Mohni, vice president marketing, Neschen Americas. "We are seeing some stabilization within the economy, but we are not quite out of the woods yet."
"I think the wide-format industry, like many others, has redefined expectations for growth due to current economic conditions, but I also believe it has been very resilient. Challenging times are what help an industry adjust, realign and thrive," said Rick Moore, marketing director, MACtac Graphic Products.
But as Moore also pointed out, the wide-format industry is changing—for better or worse. With its close ties to the advertising industry, the industry many times reflects the moods and trends from the corporate marketing world—and things there have changed dramatically. "Marketers are challenged to find ways for their products and services to remain top of mind with customers, and fortunately, customers have more and more creative platforms to choose from to gain that mind share, including the Internet, where they are increasingly allocating their spending. Most marketers have indicated that their print advertising spending, as well as spending on other traditional advertising outlets like radio, is not their priority right now. That is an indicator to our industry that we must be more creative, showing these decision makers we offer new and creative solutions that can help them achieve their goals," said Moore.
"There is no question that in a recession marketing and advertising spends are reduced, and in turn this directly affects the wide-format production companies," said Barry Polan, vice president, national sales, Crush Creative. "This is not to say that there are not rays of hope. Knowing that the general client spend was trending downward, we took a proactive approach to win new business and capture a larger share of the printing needs of existing clients. This helped us a great deal to offset some of the expected attrition."
"Recent trends seem to point to a market that is slowly moving back toward more 'normal' conditions. It seems that many consumers—from small shops to large ones—are still a bit 'gun shy'…waiting for a sustained period of recovery before jumping back into the market with both feet," said David Grant, vice president of marketing, Oracal USA.
"The industry saw a contraction from 2008 to 2009 of approximately 30 percent in the outdoor graphics markets. With tightening credit markets, limited capital availability, cuts in marketing & advertising spending, and economic uncertainty, there's been a pull-back in spending. 2009 has been a 'reset economy' where a new normal has been reestablished, however, we are seeing indications of continued solid business and expect that to continue through the end of 2009," said Rick Scrimger, vice president/general manager, Roland DGA.
"Despite these conditions, however, recent reports indicate this downward trend might have reached the bottom," said Bill Dundas, director of technical affairs, ISA. "Because commercial advertising historically is the vanguard of economic recovery, a turn-about in the market for digital signs and graphics might already have begun. By all indications, however, this won't represent a return to the pre-2008 boom days but, instead, to a more moderate and steady growth pattern."
Difficult Markets
One of the things that's interesting to me, is that some of last year's high-growth areas—retail and POP signage, as well as vehicle graphics and exhibit/trade show graphics—have been some of the hardest hit during the recession. In many—if not most—instances large projects have been delayed or reduced, some cancelled entirely. According to InfoTrends' Greene, "As I see it there have been few if any segments of the market that have NOT been impacted by this economic downturn."
"Print and sign buyers have cut back in relation to the economic decline," said Catherine Monson, CEO, FASTSIGNS International, Inc. "Specifically, we have also seen larger customers tighten their print and sign buying budget. Any purchase that can be delayed is being delayed."
Howard elaborated a little more on some of the difficulties facing PSPs during this time. "The one item that seemed to have the most impact to customers was the constantly changing landscape of projects that their customers were going to implement and then pulling back from. It made the business and production planning abnormally difficult and the lead time for projects was cut down dramatically, as when a customer did decide to do a campaign it was needed immediately," said Howard. "This was particularly the case in the retail segment early in the year. It looks like this is beginning to stabilize and the end users are moving back towards a more planned project approach which means that budgets are set and being followed."
Less POP in Retail & Trade Shows
It's no surprise that the retail and trade show segments have been hit the hardest—especially in light of the ties both have to the larger advertising industry. According to Adam Florek, research analyst with Lyra Research Inc., spending on advertising has dropped worldwide, but particularly in the US and Europe, as companies cut marketing budgets. "Advertising companies reported year-over-year revenue declines of 15-20 percent," said Florek, "revealing less spending on everything from billboards to banners. Sluggish consumer spending and the difficult environment for retailers are hampering demand for POP applications."
"The demand for graphics in these segments is down from last year as marketing and advertising budgets have been cut at most manufacturers and national brand corporations across the country," said Ed McCarron, director of marketing, Digital Imaging, InteliCoat Technologies.
"Retail advertising has been hit hard, but I'm not sure if we can define it as the hardest," said Crush Creative's Polan. "However, there is no question that budgets have been reduced. We are already seeing things turning around. 'Back to School' was a big push and 'Holiday' is trending well, also. The Entertainment clients are going strong, as are cosmetic companies. We see that our clients that have lower ticket items are generally fairing well."
"Even though many large companies are completing mergers and acquisitions, changing or updating architectural signage to reflect these changes is being delayed," said Lance Hutt, global product manager—Digital, Avery Dennison Graphics & Reflective Products Division. "Many large and corporate jobs are currently on hold. Large national companies are holding back and are not as aggressive with branding and identity projects. However, they are still pursuing shorter term product-focused promotional campaigns."
"Even though these shops produce graphics for many different industries, trade shows are down as a whole substantially," said Mohni. "Companies are cutting back on travel unless it is critical, which drives attendance down and exhibitors are making due with their current displays and graphics. These factors have caused a lot of pressure on some trade show shops."
According to experts, the vehicle and fleet graphics markets were also heavily affected—mainly because of its tie to advertising and marketing dollars. Some companies have not pulled back entirely, but have moved to partial wraps to continue branding and advertising. It's a less expensive option that still gives them exposure to the market for their products and services.
Building AEC Business
Another industry that has seen tremendous hits over the past couple of years has been the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) markets. Growth in this segment has generally been flat, a few companies reporting minimal growth somewhere in the neighborhood of a few percentage points. "I think the markets closest to the building and construction industries have been impacted at the highest levels," said Greene.
"The CAD segment, however, has been hit the hardest. Reprographers were struggling anyway as they tried to incorporate building information modeling (BIM) into a new business model. The bursting of the housing bubble—not just in the US but other countries like the UK., Spain, Italy, and Eastern Europe—is putting the final nail in the coffin for many AEC customers," said Florek.
"This market is fueled by the building industry and we all know that market has been one of the hardest hit in this economy. Many of our large-format printer partners have felt the most pain from this market collapse," said Steve Blanken, sales director, Contex. "I think the turnaround will begin late fall although I do not believe it will be a windfall turnaround. We are starting to see some of the stimulus money hit the government infrastructure markets and this, we believe will slowly get the ball rolling in the building markets, hopefully moving in them in the right direction."
Greene agreed with Blanken. "There are already positive signs and positive reports, in a recent survey we had many print service providers report that they believe the business will rebound here in the second half of 2009 and the first part of 2010."
Right now, the question on everyone's mind is: When? When will the recovery begin? Has it begun? If so, when will the wide- and grand-format industry start to feel the changes? Many in the industry are taking the lead from federal government economic forecasts which predict the start of a slow economic recovery in late-2009.
Alcan Composites' Masters feels that "the worst is definitely behind us," which is good news. But, is he alone with his optimism?
"As for improvements in the state of the industry as a whole, we have seen positive signs, almost monthly, since the fall of 2008," said MACtac's Moore. "However, it would be difficult to predict the exact timing of a return to normalcy for our industry. This is a day-by-day recovery, and even today I think everyone understands just how fragile the tipping point is for advancement versus decline."
"Although we are far from seeing a complete recovery we are hoping that things bottomed out in May, as we have seen improvement the last couple of months. The impact to our same center sales was dramatic beginning in October 2008 and I believe it will take some time before we see growth trends similar to what we saw in 2006 or 2007. I expect a slow recovery from this recession," said Monson.
"It may take a while before the industry finally recognizes 'a turnaround'. We think we've seen the market stabilize in the third quarter. Sales for vendors and PSPs alike are no longer going off the deep end, at least sequentially. Going forward, we sales will look more favorably, at least compared to the horrendous results OEMs and PSPs reported in the last three quarters," said Florek."Still, it's going to take a while before the industry returns to its pre-2008 height. The market should see a limited recovery in 2010 and 2011 before reaching 2008 levels in 2012. We expect the market to grow in the long run, but that growth will be constrained."
"We noticed a slowdown in investment not because business issue, but because of financial issues. The crisis is financial, not economic. Our customers want to invest to produce more for less. For that they need their banks and also be confident in their market. That was not possible the first part of the year, but we see things going very well on the second part," said Joseph Mergui, president, Caldera.
"As the economy begins to rebound these markets are starting to see signs of improvement, which we expect will only increase over the coming year. The benefits of digital printing are still very appealing, and once company budgets begin to grow again, we expect to see continued growth and success in this market," said McCarron.
"While we don't have a lot of empirical data to back this up, it appears that sales of wide-format equipment were hit particularly hard by the economic crisis…perhaps harder than sales of consumables. That condition seems to point to an environment where many PSPs are finding ways to 'get by' with their existing hardware by postponing purchases of new hardware. Fortunately we've seen signs that sales of wide-format hardware and consumables have picked up considerably lately, if still somewhat below previous high levels. We have high hopes for 2010, both domestically and internationally," said Oracal's Grant.
"Manufacturers that rely on sales of equipment as their primary revenue source have also had a tough time. Credit is not easy to come by, especially for smaller, less established shops. Without these new placements, many equipment manufacturers have had a tough time. The economy is seeing some stabilization—whether that is temporary or not we can only speculate—but my hope is that we will see some growth by the summer of 2010," said Mohni.
"Things are turning around now. Through the recession I've stayed in close contact with SGIA members from various sectors of the community. Most are experiencing much better business conditions today than they were during the second quarter of 2009," said Michael Robertson, president and CEO, SGIA. "From my sources, the sectors within our community that were hit hardest are fleet graphics and niche markets, such as recreational vehicle graphics, where disposable income drives sales. But even the hardest hit sectors are seeing things beginning to open up now."
"It seems there was a very broad impact hitting both large and small companies. Smaller companies should have fared better by being able to make changes more quickly than large ones. Companies there were on shaky financial ground entering this crisis have been hurt the most," said Randy Paar, display graphics product manager, Océ North America. "Right now, everyone is still in a holding pattern. Consumer confidence has to return to the general market so manufacturers see demand for product; and inventory and cash flow increases, which fuels advertising budgets. There is still a lot of uncertainty out there. The US government stimulus money is still mostly unspent. People don't know what form the proposed healthcare plan will take, nor what it will cost. Home equity has been wiped out and many workers are unemployed or were forced to take pay cuts. Some economists predict a turnaround soon, but the general consensus is that full recovery is still a long way off."
"Because of the timeline of the economic downturn, construction and real estate suffered the most and the soonest, followed by financial institutions. And because these industries account for a significant portion of the sign market, the sign industry was hit particularly hard," said Lee Manevitch, technical support director, Signs Now, a division of Allegra Network. "It's too early to recognize any positive trends, but one advantage of being a franchised system is that we can track same-center sales. We're confident that the economic turnaround is in the not-too-distant future; when we see our same-center sales trend positive for several months accompanied by other economic indicators that the economy is rebounding, we—and I'm sure the entire country—will breathe a sigh of relief."

I have gotten nothing but compliments on Baby Rose Jeans. It smells so good and lifts my mood, but is a subtle fragrance so I can wear it to work and to church without the fear of aggravating anyone's allergies. Would be a good fragrance for a little girl, as well as for adults.

I don't like guns. My father had an old shotgun he kept in the closet, unloaded of course. He was a country boy who never took to hunting, so I had no experience with firearms and the sport surrounding their use. Two husbands, no hunters. When I married Ken, he had a small handgun. He […]

RIC was established in 1854 as one of the first public normal schools in the nation. In 1920, the college became a college of education, and in 1960, it evolved into the master's level comprehensive college of today.
Throughout its long history, RIC has always put students first.
Our institution has maintained the highest standards in academic programs while retaining a commitment to affordability and accessibility, thereby extending the opportunity to pursue a higher education degree to generations of students, many of whom are leaders in our state, region, and nation.
RIC enrolls approximately 9,000 students in a wide spectrum of academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. RIC has received longstanding acclaim for its performing and fine arts series, and for its quality teacher preparation. The college's STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Center and Schools of Nursing, Social Work, and Management also offer exciting programs. Please visit the school sites and browse a bit.
I hope you will have an opportunity to plan a personal visit to our campus so that you may discover what makes Rhode Island College such a very special place. Until then, I thank you for visiting the college on the World Wide Web.

Kuroda, Kazmir set to meet for second time this season
The ticket requests piling up on the manager's desk in the visiting clubhouse were all the indication that Joe Girardi needed. With nothing but sellout crowds expected for this weekend series against the Athletics in Oakland, the Yankees' visit to town is an event.
Derek Jeter's last games at the O.co Coliseum would be enough of a draw on their own, but the A's have made themselves comfortable in the first-place seat of the American League West, owning sole possession of the top spot in the division for the 47th straight day entering play on Saturday.
"They do things the right way," Girardi said. "They pitch extremely well, their defense is good. From an offensive standpoint, they hit the ball out of the ballpark. They run the bases. They make you work as a pitcher. They do a lot of things right."
The A's have won 12 of 17 their last 17 against the Yankees, but saw their seven-game home win streak against New York snapped in Friday's 7-0 loss.
"Right now, every win is a big win for us," the Yanks' Mark Teixeira said. "We don't have a huge margin for error."
Saturday's game will feature a rematch of two pitchers who faced off on June 3 in New York, as right-hander Hiroki Kuroda takes the ball for the Yankees and left-hander Scott Kazmir draws the starting assignment for the Athletics.
Both hurlers pitched well in that game, taking no-decisions in the Athletics' 5-2, 10-inning victory. Kazmir struck out 10 in 6 2/3 innings, giving up two runs, and Kuroda entrusted a 2-1 lead to the bullpen after 6 1/3 frames.
More recently, Kuroda has gotten his season back on track by going 2-1 with a 3.30 ERA in his last seven starts after going 2-3 with a 5.14 ERA over his first six.
Kazmir is also coming in hot; he has allowed one run or fewer in four of his last six starts, going 3-1 with a 1.67 ERA and a .195 opponent batting average over that span. For the season, the lefty is 7-2 with a 2.20 ERA that ranks sixth in the Majors.
"Seems like a broken record, with the way he pitches for us," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "He's just a very consistent guy. It's tough to even think about a tough game he's had for us. He's been spot-on every time."
Yankees: Ellsbury streaking
Jacoby Ellsbury enters play on Saturday with a 17-game hitting streak, the longest active streak in the Majors. It is the longest hitting streak by a Yankee since Derek Jeter compiled a 19-game hit streak in September 2012.
The Elias Sports Bureau notes that Ellsbury's streak is the longest by a Yankees center fielder since Melky Cabrera logged an 18-game run in 2007. Needless to say, the Yankees want to keep Ellsbury in the batter's box; he left Thursday's game at Seattle with right hip stiffness but was back in the lineup on Friday.
Over the span, Ellsbury is batting .373 (25-for-67) with nine runs, three doubles, two homers, 12 RBIs, eight walks and seven stolen bases. Ellsbury's career best is a 22-game hit streak from May 2-27, 2009, while with the Red Sox.
A's: Parrino called up with Callaspo on paternity list
The A's called up Andy Parrino from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday with Alberto Callaspo on the paternity list, and Parrino found himself starting at second base after Nick Punto was announced as a late scratch. Callaspo is expected to miss the entire series as he awaits the birth of his child.
Melvin said Punto has been "a little banged up," but he originally believed Punto could play against Yankees right-hander David Phelps. Instead, Punto was removed from the lineup about 2 1/2 hours before game time.
Eric Sogard, who often plays second base against righties, is also hurting after fouling a ball off his ankle several days ago. Parrino is a switch-hitter who was batting .344 at Sacramento and gives the A's versatility in the field.
Parrino went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the series opener.
Worth noting
• Teixeira has hit more home runs against the A's (36) than he has against any other opponent, and Teixeira has hit more home runs (20) at the O.co Coliseum than any other ballpark as a visiting player.
• Jeter is 10-for-24 (.417) with six runs, a double, two walks and two stolen bases in six games on this trip.
• Yoenis Cespedes had his season-high nine game hitting streak snapped on Friday. He was 15-for-41 (.366) over the stretch.
• Josh Donaldson is hitless in his last 27 at-bats, the longest stretch of his career.

The Assembly Democratic caucus late Wednesday issued a statement saying North Las Vegas Assemblyman Steven Brooks is no longer a member of the caucus.That effectively leaves Brooks on his own in the Legislature, cutting him out of the policy and other discussions party members will have this session."At this time, the organization has determined it's in Mr. Brooks' and the organization's best interest to part ways," the statement said. "The caucus encourages him to work on his health issues without the rigor of caucus business."Wednesday's statement came hours after Brooks — who on Tuesday backed out of a deal to take a medical leave from the Assembly — said that he's dealing with a "purely physical" medical issue and that his sanity has never been in question.Brooks attended the Assembly floor session a day after he rejected the leave of absence he first requested from leadership Sunday.That request followed a series of bizarre incidents Brooks was involved in beginning with his arrest on charges he allegedly threatened Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick, D-North Las Vegas. That charge, a felony, is still pending in North Las Vegas.He was later admitted to a hospital for mental evaluation — a 72-hour hold that followed an incident at his grandmother's house involving a sword.Both Kirkpatrick and Assembly Majority Leader William Horne, D-Las Vegas, have said they disagree with Brooks' decision to assume his legislative seat rather than ask for leave to take care of his physical and psychological problems. Horne said he had known Brooks for more than three years, "and in my opinion, Mr. Brooks is not the same gentleman I used to know."Brooks told reporters a paid leave was simply out of the question because he was in Carson City to serve his constituents. The Democrat said he wouldn't accept a penny from taxpayers if he wasn't working. Later Brooks briefly attended an afternoon meeting of the Assembly Health and Human Services Committee. During introductions he said he represented District 17, the North Town, and proclaimed, "I'm in the house." Brooks said the committee is the "most important" because he wants to get health coverage for those in need. He left after a few minutes and didn't return. Brooks was first accused of allegedly threatening Kirkpatrick after she declined to name him as chairman of the powerful Assembly Ways and Means Committee. If that charge is pursued, it would be a felony. • Matt Woolbright of The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The trial, conducted by participants, will include issues involving the "fraud defense," the applicability of the Daubert Standard, the applicability of major contributing cause and the use or exclusion of various forms of evidence. This is a hands-on-program limited to 24 attorney participants. The focus of the program includes application of the Rules of Evidence, direct and cross examination of expert and lay witnesses and trial strategy. Over 300 lawyers have experience this program which was endorsed by DEPUTY Chief Judge David W. Langham, OJCC. "The fact that this program exists is a tribute to you and the rest of the faculty. I regret that this program was not available when I was beginning my life as a young litigator. However, it appears to me that there is significant value in this program even for experienced litigators. I concluded that, with the possible exception of a Board Certification Review Course years ago, I have never been to a more practical, effective continuing education opportunity."

May 31, 2011 -- Pregnant women who get a flu vaccine during flu season may be less likely to have a premature birth or deliver a baby of low birth weight.
A new study shows that women who received a flu vaccine during pregnancy and delivered during the flu season were 40% less likely to have a premature birth than were unvaccinated mothers. In addition, pregnant women who received a flu vaccine and gave birth during a period of widespread flu activity were less likely to have a baby with low birth weight.
Researchers say respiratory infections during pregnancy, such as influenza and influenza-related pneumonia, are associated with an increased risk of premature birth and low birth weight. Vaccination with a flu vaccine during pregnancy protects the mother and the infant from the most common viruses that cause influenza.
Flu Vaccine Protects Baby
In the study, published in PLoS Medicine, researchers looked at the relationship between flu vaccination and the risk of premature birth before 37 weeks gestation and low birth weight (also known as small for gestational age) among 4,168 pregnant women who gave birth between June 2004 and September 2006.
The results showed that women who received the flu vaccine during pregnancy and gave birth during the flu season (Oct. 1-May 31) were 40% less likely to have a premature birth.
In addition, researchers found the flu vaccine's protection against premature birth increased during flu outbreaks. For example, during the eight weeks of the most widespread influenza activity, the risk of premature birth was about 70% lower among vaccinated mothers compared with mothers who did not receive the flu vaccine during pregnancy.
The study also showed that during widespread flu outbreaks, mothers who received the flu vaccine during pregnancy were 69% less likely to give birth to a low birth weight baby. Researchers did not find an association between flu vaccination and low birth weight risk during other time periods.
Researcher Saad B. Omer, of the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta, and colleagues say this was an observational study and can only show that there was an association between flu vaccination during pregnancy and reduced risk of premature birth and low birth weight. Further studies will be needed confirm these results and to demonstrate any causal link between the two.

ridiculously good or absurd. Crazy like Martin Scorsese. Crizzazy is partly a play of slang and also has additional syllables to make it rhyme more smoothly. Martin Scorsese is one of the best directors to have worked in film and absurdity is tied to his name because while he is one of the best, he does not have a oscar.
