Florida Elects Two Openly Gay State Lawmakers For The First Time
On Election Day this year, Florida went from having zero openly gay lawmakers in the state Legislature to two.
David Richardson won a seat in the Florida House representing Miami Beach and Joe Saunders won a seat representing a part of Orlando. Both men are openly gay.
Up until last week, Florida was the biggest state in the U.S. to have never elected an openly gay person to office in their state legislature.
Chuck Wolfe, president of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, says that Florida was actually part of a national trend.
The Victory Fund endorses openly gay candidates and helps get them elected. They endorsed 180 candidates all over the country this year -- ranging from city council seats to U.S. Senate races -- and 122 of these candidates actually won.
"I mean, the entire country is shifting. On this issue, Florida seems to be shifting a little later than the rest of the country," says Wolfe.
He says the late shift is because Florida has people from all over the country living here. The state also has a significant elderly population, which tends to vote less pro-gay rights.

Colorado hospital profits are soaring despite overall turbulence and uncertainty in the health care marketplace, according to a new analysis of competition in the state.
Colorado's HMOs also had strong profits and added tens of thousands of new members as they enjoyed growth in managing Medicare patients, said the report by Allan Baumgarten, a national health finance analyst.
Denver-area hospitals have seen profits grow for the past 10 years and reached $774.6 million in net income as a group in 2011, the last year of full figures, said Baumgarten's Colorado Health Market Review. That income was a margin of 12.3 percent of net patient revenues of $6.3 billion for the Denver metro hospitals, the report said.
Blog: Daily Dose
The Daily Dose prescribes an enriched mix of news, features, consumer issues and in-depth followups to The Denver Post's coverage of medicine and health care.
Health care economists say many hospitals have benefited from a rush to hire specialist doctors in-house, bringing the fees of loyal patients with them. Growing hospital chains, both for-profit and nonprofit, also cut costs through mass buying power.
Meanwhile, the expansions and acquisitions by the largest Colorado hospital groups have concentrated their clout in negotiating with insurance companies for better rates, Baumgarten said.
HCA/HealthONE's hospital group was the most profitable system in the region, using its market dominance to achieve a nearly 23 percent profit margin on net patient revenue, the report said. With SkyRidge, Rose, Presbyterian-St. Luke's, Swedish and other facilities, the for-profit HealthONE had $429 million in profits before taxes.
A HealthONE spokesman said, "Our scale enables us to be efficient, while investing millions of dollars in our staff, the latest technology and facilities and providing high-quality care.
"The hospital financial figures only tell part of the story. Our hospitals in Denver provide hundreds of millions of dollars in community benefit" in taxes, donations, education, charity care and discounts, said spokesman Dan Davidson.
HealthONE, owned by the national for-profit chain HCA, has recently consolidated control of hospitals previously shared with the Colorado Health Foundation; University has partnered with Memorial in Colorado Springs and the Poudre Valley system in northern Colorado; Exempla is rebuilding St. Joseph and has wider growth plans.
HealthONE controls 30 to 32 percent of the metro hospital market, the report said.
Denver hospital profits are higher than the average in other cities Baumgarten has studied recently, including Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit, he said. "To their credit," Baumgarten said of the dominant players in Denver, "they have achieved efficiencies."
The high profits came despite high vacancy rates in hospital beds, the report said. Only about 66 percent of inpatient beds are used at Colorado hospitals, down from 69 percent in 2008, it said. But hospitals are on a building spree, from central Denver to the south and north suburbs.
Colorado doesn't need the new beds, Baumgarten said, "but it's the nature of hospital competition to build."
Even nonprofit hospitals, which are not owned by shareholders but must provide some community benefit, report high operating income. University of Colorado Hospital was one of the most profitable medical centers in the state in 2011 with a 24 percent margin, the report said. University and others use those "profits" to reinvest in buildings, acquisitions or new programs.
The profits come as more and more patients and consumer watchdogs are complaining about outrageous charges and new fees from hospital systems, especially those that are buying up physician groups as in-house employees.
Baumgarten's report does not discuss smaller, rural hospitals, many of which are struggling under high costs and fixed fees for Medicare and Medicaid patients.
Healthy margins
Colorado's biggest hospital groups earned profits in 2011, according to a report released Thursday. Nonprofits must reinvest those earnings.
Centura Health: 5.6% margin
Net patient revenue: $1.1 billion
Net income: $61.5 million
HCA/HealthONE: 22.9% margin *
Net patient revenue: $1.9 billion
Net income: $428.5 million
Exempla: 6.8% margin
Net patient revenue: $984.3 million
Net income: $67.3 million
University of Colorado Hospital: 24% margin*
Net patient revenue: $826.8 million
Net income: $199.1 million
* Numbers do not include certain expansions and partnerships completed in 2011 and 2012.

Proving All Things
Terry Robertson (Library)
Proving All Things: Information Literacy in Theological Education
As developed within the Library community, information literacy describes the ability of a person to use information responsibly and effectively. It has been broken down into five facets: the ability to 1) identify an information need; 2) find the needed information; 3) evaluate the information; 4) use and apply the information for a specific purpose; and 5) ethically use information. 1 In an academic setting, information literacy instruction focuses on training students to properly frame a research question, use library resources to find sources, evaluate the sources for appropriateness and accuracy, and write a competent research paper, all the while properly citing sources and avoiding plagiarism. For theological education, there are excellent books that provide instruction in writing papers,2 research methods,3 library skills,4 and many disciplinary bibliographies. Although these works may touch on the evaluation of sources, 5 there is no examination of what students in theological education should take into consideration when evaluating a new information source. Since there is significant interdisciplinary research on this topic in the fields of library science, scholarly communication, and educational pedagogy, this book will provide a discussion of this research with an application to the theological education context.
The digital revolution is complicating this evaluation process for users. One impact has been the lowering of the economic barriers to publishing and the ability to bypass the longstanding scholarly gate-keeping infrastructures. Another impact is the ability to keyword search vast literatures which de-contextualizes snippets of information, risking misinterpretation and misapplication. The premise of the book is that because of the impact of the digital revolution on publishing and access, the user needs to be more intentional in evaluating information. I discuss principles and strategies that will assist users in the context of theological education.

Keith Appling led a pivotal run early in the second half and finished with 24 points and seven assists to help No. 13 Michigan State beat Illinois 80-75 on Thursday night. The Spartans (18-4, 7-2 Big Ten) scored the first 14 points of the second half to take their first lead. The Fighting Illini (15-7, 2-6) lost for the fifth time in six games. They had a chance to be the first team with four wins over currently ranked teams. Illinois started strong and responded to rallies with shots and stops in the first half. Michigan State played with a lot of energy in the second half. Appling alternated making shots and setting up teammates to score in helping turn a 10-point deficit into a 41-37 lead.

Id Software President Departs After 17 Years with Company
Posted on June 26, 2013 AT 03:32pm
After serving 13 years as id Software's CEO, then another five as president after ZeniMax Media acquired the studio, Todd Hollenshead is leaving the company to pursue "other personal interests."
"After many years with the studio, Todd Hollenshead decided to leave id Software to pursue other personal interests," Pete Hines, vice president of PR and marketing at Bethesda, told IGN. "While Todd was not part of the development teams, he was an integral part of id Software's success as the business head of the studio, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors."
Hollenshead has yet to comment on his departure. It's unknown whether leaving has anything to do with the company's development struggles. It was reported in April that a sequel to Rage was canned in order for the company to focus on Doom 4—a project originally announced as in development in 2008, and completely restarted in 2011.

Rated 1.3 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by citybrt Great if you like potato sacks This has such potential in the idea....but it is a giant square sack in person. This top might work on the right person, I'm just not sure who to recommend. It is humongously wide across the whole body. 1.2.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by GlamHippie Beyond HUGE I ignored the reviews and ordered this thinking I could pull it off (as I love that billowy look). They are right, it's a giant square. It has zero flow to it, very stiff fabric. The open shoulder areas on mine were very small, the hole for the shoulder is close to the elbow. You put it on and there's a large bubble of fabric on your back that just sticks up. I don't understand why FreePeople insists on putting drawstrings on the bottom of their tops. These don't flatter anyone! If the drawstring was at the waist instead (just below the breast), it may have worked. I ordered a size medium and it fit my size 20 friend! 3.24.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by riz38105 way too big! I weigh 150 lbs, 5'2", ordered xs but this is way too big on me. I would have loved to keep it because the fabric and the style is pretty were it not for the size. anyway, this went back to the mail-returned! 1.13.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Cinnagirl Not at all like the pic Cheap quality, huge, and not flattering!! Returning!!! 1.10.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by marionmichele Not as portrayed. I was so excited to get this shirt! I tried it on the second it arrived. It turned out to be a giant square of stiff fabric that didn't drape well at all. I am 5'6" 113 lbs and ordered the XS. There was no way to make this thing look as it does in the photos, I tried for 10 minutes. I returned it at a local store the same day. I apologize for not thinking to take a picture as evidence. Those red stretch skinnys are fantastic though! 1.8.2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by brandimthompson Insanely huge. I am 5'9" and 130 something lbs and I got the small (I think that's all that was left when I bought it) and it's HUGE!! It hangs way under my butt and yes, it's a huge square. I was really confused when I pulled it out of the bag because I couldn't immediately figure it out, lol. It also doesn't seem as soft and drapey as in the photo. Not really a fan. 1.3.2014

Original Essays
An Unusual Gambleby Peter Stothard
But the man whose daily life I described in my book, Thirty Days, is still in trouble. The man with whom I spent so long while the Iraq war was planned and fought is not enjoying his Summer and has a harsh Fall ahead.
Tony Blair was certain that war was right. That was one of the reasons that he took the unprecedented risk of allowing an independent writer to be with him in March and April this year. Never before had a British Prime Minister (or any other world leader that I am aware of) permitted a journalist to be in and out of his office at such a time, whether he was with the US President at Camp David or on the telephone to Yasser Arafat, planning press conferences with his staff or listening to the alarms of foreign ambassadors.
But the British people never shared this certainty. Because of that, and in a strange and very British way, the men and women of Downing Street are now enduring another unprecedented kind of scrutiny. Their filing cabinets and hard-drives are being turned over by a judge in a court of law.
When Thirty Days was first published some thought that Tony Blair had revealed the inner manoeuvrings of his office in a way which seriously damaged him. Others said that he had shown himself to be a man of moral principle, even if his reasons for backing the war were not the ones he had shared with the voters. Some complained that my daily diaries of life in Number Ten contained too much domestic detail and not enough proof of deception. Everyone agreed that in allowing me to write an immediate, unvetted description of everything I had heard and seen, he had taken an unusual gamble.
For a few weeks after I left the Prime Minister's office, life seemed to return to normal. Saddam had been ousted. The war had officially ended. Tony Blair went to Washington to give a speech and get seventeen standing ovations from the US Congress. Then suddenly, within hours of that triumph, a British expert on Weapons of Mass Destruction was found dead in the woods of Oxfordshire. Blair's success on Capitol Hill hardly merited a mention in the British media. The only question was 'Who killed David Kelly?' and, when it seemed clear that he had killed himself, 'Why had David Kelly killed himself?'
A judge was given the job of finding out. The Downing Street team with whom I had spent my thirty days quickly moved out of the shadows and into the limelight. Their e-mails about the dead scientist, their fears about his links with BBC journalists and the Iraqi military, their worries about how to investigate his leaks of unauthorised information were on TV screens every night. The inquiry wanted all the evidence from that of junior officials in the Press Office to the explanations of the Prime Minister himself.
Glenda Jackson, now retired from movies, a Member of Parliament and a leading member of the Labour left in London, was one of those who thought that Tony Blair's time was already up. The more cautious waited to hear what the judge's verdict would be. Recall rules in Britain can be no less swift and ruthless than those of California if the conditions are right.
Had Tony Blair exaggerated the extent that Iraq was an immediate threat? Did Kelly represent a group of experts within government who knew the case for war was weaker than Blair was claiming? Did the Downing Street team, whose intense loyalty to Blair I had observed so closely and for so long, 'sex up' the dossiers of evidence given to press and Parliament?
Readers began to look with renewed interest at Thirty Days. Anyone who wanted to know whether Blair's chief aide, Alastair Campbell, had a pathological hostility to the BBC could find plenty of evidence from morbid jokes to moral outrage within the pages of my book. Did the intelligence chiefs control the spin-doctors or was it the other way round? Did the Blair team really believe that Iraq had illegal and dangerous WMD? It seemed to me that the most senior advisers certainly did. But I too have been rereading my own account, looking for signs that I might have missed.
And how much did WMD matter? As the New York Times columnist, Tom Friedman, wrote after reading Thirty Days, Tony Blair may have been more honest about his motives for war when alone with only me and a filing cabinet than at any other time of which we know. Blair believed that Saddam was an evil that should be removed. He knew that Bush was going to war against Iraq. He feared for the consequences if the US went to war alone. He saw an opportunity to do good as he saw it. And he took it.
On Thursday March 13, as I watched Tony Blair seek an aide in an empty office and find only a filing cabinet, I heard him shout impatiently against those who were 'happy' for Saddam to stay in power. It was not always possible to do the right thing, he said. If he could get rid of the Burmese junta too, and remove Robert Mugabe, the worst tyrant today in Africa, he would. But he could not. So he did not. 'But, when you can you should'. That moral motivation was also part of the message which he later gave to Congress and which won him such applause. Then came the death of David Kelly.

Casualty writers are taking a cautious approach to providing coverage for green buildings, according to a report by insurance broker Marsh, which noted that they were generally concerned about general liability and products liability coverage. Some insurers do offer some coverage but are doing so cautiously while they evaluate the risks.

Mutual assured destruction
In the event, technological developments supported the second strike. Initially, long-range bombers had to be kept on continual alert to prevent them from being eliminated in a surprise attack. When ICBMs moved into full production in the early 1960s with such systems as the U.S. Titan and Minuteman I and the Soviet SS-7 and SS-8, they were placed in hardened underground silos so that it would require an unlikely direct hit to destroy them. Even less vulnerable were submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) such as the U.S. Polaris and the Soviet SS-N-5 and SS-N-6, which could take full advantage of the ocean expanses to hide from enemy attack.
Meanwhile, attempts to develop effective defenses against nuclear attack proved futile. The standards for antiaircraft defense in the nuclear age had to be much higher than for conventional air raids, since any penetration of the defensive screen would threaten the defender with catastrophe. Progress was made, using surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) such as the U.S. Nike series, in developing defenses against bombers, but the move to ICBMs, with their minimal warning time before impact, appeared to render the defensive task hopeless. Then, during the 1960s, advances in radars and long-range SAMs promised a breakthrough in antiballistic missile defense, but by the early 1970s these in turn had been countered by improvements in offensive missiles—notably multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles (MIRVs), which could swamp any defenses. (The first MIRVed ICBMs were the U.S. Minuteman III and the Soviet SS-17.)
Measures of civil defense, which could offer little protection to the civilian populace against nuclear explosions and, at best, only some chance of avoiding exposure to nuclear fallout, also appeared hopeless in the face of the overwhelming destructive power being accumulated by both sides.
By the mid-1960s fears had eased of a technological arms race that might encourage either side to unleash a surprise attack. For the foreseeable future each side could eliminate the other as a modern industrial state. Robert McNamara, the U.S. secretary of defense for much of that decade, argued that so long as the two superpowers had confidence in their capacity for mutual assured destruction—an ability to impose "unacceptable damage," defined as 25 percent of population and 50 percent of industry—the relationship between the two would be stable.
The need to maintain strategic stability influenced the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), which began in 1969 and became the centrepiece of Pres. Richard M. Nixon's policy of détente with the Soviet Union. In 1972, with the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, the two sides agreed to ban nationwide antiballistic missile systems, thereby confirming the primacy of the offense. Attempts to consolidate the strategic standoff with a treaty limiting offensive weapons proved more difficult. (In 1972 only an interim freeze had been agreed upon.) The second round of talks was guided mainly by the concept of parity, by which a broad equality in destructive power would be confirmed. However, the difficulty in comparing the two nuclear arsenals, which differed in important respects, resulted in long and complex negotiations. A treaty called SALT II was agreed on in June 1979, but by this time détente was in decline, and it was dealt a final blow with the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan at the end of that year. In addition, the strategic underpinnings of arms control had been undermined by a growing dissatisfaction in the United States with the principles of mutual assured destruction.

Where was Jeter when team moneybags needed him. He batted a paltry .200 and slugged the same pathetic number. He whiffed on 40% of his at bats while botching a ground ball in extra innings.(He should have been charged with an error.)
Meanwhile Nunez stepped in and scored all of the Yankee runs for the last three games of the Yankees collapse. He even knocked in half of the runs with an Un-Jeteresque home run.
Jeter wasn't missed Nunez was the straw that stirred the Yankee drink, Even if the that drink consisted of only a few drops at the bottom of a virtually empty glass.
Anyway, in regards to the Yankees- Ding Dong the Witch is dead. The wicked witch is dead.

I have a better idea. Why don't we slap a 40% federal tax on Western Union transfer's south of the border. If they're going to come to this country and to be parasites they can at least pay something in taxes like the rest of us. Or how about using this money to fund or augment removing them from our country.
One of these days we are going to ask ourselves why we are kowtowing to criminals. We could have the greatest minds and skilled professionals all over the world the best and brightest. Instead immigration quotas are being used by vermin the jump to the head of the line

The Complete Illustrated Lyrics
By Queen
- Format:
Queen (The Complete Illustrated Lyrics). Book. Softcover. 390 pages. Published by Backbeat Books (HL.333226).
ISBN 1617130133. 8.5x10.63 inches.
In 2011, the world celebrated the 40th anniversary of Queen – one of the most innovative, glamorous, and influential bands in history. Over the course of the band's career, they have grossed 170 million album sales worldwide, have written 18 number one hits, and performed 700 concerts. While some acts enjoy a forte of incredible showmanship, a virtuoso instrumentalist, a strong, charismatic leader, or a prolific sole songwriter, Queen beholds all of these strengths. Although Freddie Mercury and Brian May are recognized as the prime songwriters, each of the members have penned number one hits, including classics such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Freddie Mercury), "Another One Bites the Dust" (John Deacon), "A Kind of Magic" (Roger Taylor), and "We Will Rock You" (Brian May). The fates brought the four creative and cerebral youths together in London in 1971 (Mercury was by then an established fine and graphic artist, May was enveloped in the study of astrophysics, Roger Taylor enrolled in dental school, and John studying electronics). Since then, they have made history with their sophisticated fusion of operatic expression, theatrical performance, symphonic melody, and raw rock-and-roll.
Beginning with their debut Queen in 1973 (EMI/Electra Records), the band took the UK by storm, then conquered the United States along with rest of the world, serving as pioneers of stadium rock and enjoying commercial success and momentum well into the 1980s (marked by the famous Live Aid appearance in 1985) through the early 1990s. The whirlwind took a startling pause when singer Freddie Mercury passed away from AIDS on November 24, 1991. The living members have forged ahead and remain great music makers.
The Complete Illustrated Lyrics is the first book of its kind. Never before has there been a complete Queen lyric book. The hundreds of images that accompany the songs range from handwritten lyrics to rare photographs from the stage to the studio. Also included is a complete discography, pairing each song to the album on which it was originally released. Designed by the band's longtime creative director, Richard Gray, the book is as true to the band as can be, carrying with it the flamboyance, expression, and depth that Queen embodies as writers and performers. If there is one book for a fan of the band to possess, this is the one.

The meaning of "Team"
Many rackets have a "Team" version. I have an intuitive idea of what the word "team" means in this context, but can someone give me a solid definition, not only what it means but what it connotes?
It has always struck me as the lighter, more "user-friendly" version of other frames. Prince had the Rebel Team and Ignite Team. Wilson has the 6.1 Team.
Team might be synonymous with "Lite."
Unrelated, but the first instance of "Team" I can point to is the Babolat Pure Drive Team, which didn't have a heavier or lighter version. It was simply the Team.
Thank you. That's kind of what I was thinking, especially when reviewing prices and specs for "Team" versions. It's interesting that it has become common enough to have widely crossed company boundaries. It's also interesting to me because the word seems to be such an odd choice since there's nothing else within the word "team" that indicates "lite"!
I suppose it's a marketing choice since "lite" might scare customers away who would otherwise want to avoid the "faux disgrace" of not using what their favorite pros are using. :)
What's interesting to me is when you've got pros using Team versions. Before switching to the current EXO3 Rebel PJ, the Bryan brothers were using PJs of the Ignite Team. Or better yet, Querrey when he was swinging the EXO3 Tour Lite PJ.
Yonex also used both the lite and team terms in the EZONE Xi line of rackets.
"Team" sounds a lot better than "Lite." I think some guys might find it embarrassing to have the word "Lite" on their racket. Oddly, Babs has an Aeropro Team 10.6oz and an Aeropro Lite 9.9oz in their line up.
It's clear not only that some players avoid "Lite" or "Team" versions because of pride, but also that this same hubris compels some players to avoid particular models in a line because they're not as expensive.... Oooh. A little introspection reveals that I have never demoed a Lite or Team version, possibly for one of these reasons. :oops:
"team"...."pro"...."prostaff"....they are all meaningless marketing terms that have no single meaning and are applied however a particular manufacturer cares to. It's a little like "deluxe" hotel or "gourmet" deli. (Ever notice, incidentally, that the crappiest hotels and delis use those adjectives?)
Team racquets are for team play i.e. doubles. These racquets are designed to be more maneuverable and are normally heavier than the "lite" version.
Still, I get the logic.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
Topic Overview
Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) can help you measure how hard your body is working when you are exercising.
Using a scale from 6 to 20, you choose a rating number to describe how difficult the activity feels based on how tired you are, how difficult it is to breathe, and how hard it is to do the activity.
For most people, exercising at a moderate (RPE 12 to 13) to vigorous (RPE 14 to 17) level will help you get the most benefit from exercising. If you have health problems, your RPE goal may be different. Talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
|Rating number
|Perceived exertion
|Very, very light
|Very light (you feel comfortable)
|Somewhat hard (you feel tired but you can keep going)
|Very hard (you feel very tired, and you are pushing yourself to continue)
|Very, very hard (the most difficult exercise you have ever done)

There are several clotting disorders caused by deficiencies of specific coagulation factors; of these the most common congenital coagulation disorder is von Willebrand Disease (vWD) with a prevalence in the general population of 1-2% followed by hemophilia A and B, with an incidence of 1 in 5,000 and 1 in 30,000 respectively. (1,2) Less common are disorders associated with other factors including deficiencies in Factor II, Factor V, Factor VII, Factor X and Factor XII.
Each benefit plan, summary plan description or contract defines which services are covered, which services are excluded, and which services are subject to dollar caps or other limitations, conditions or exclusions. Members and their providers have the responsibility for consulting the member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract to determine if there are any exclusions or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between a Medical Policy and a member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract, the benefit plan, summary plan description or contract will govern.
ALERT: All self-injectable medications are administered under the pharmacy benefit.
The hemophilia agents are considered self-injectable agents and are administered under pharmacy benefit. Requests for medical benefit coverage should be redirected to the member's pharmacy benefit. Nursing services to administer hemophilia agents may be approved if medically necessary.
The medical policy is a set of guidelines supporting the current standards of practice based on available peer reviewed, evidenced based literature. The requested therapy must be proven effective for the diagnosis, procedure, drug dose, frequency and duration, if applicable, and be consistent with recommendations in at least one authoritative source. The Medical Policy is supported by the FDA approved labeling, nationally recognized societies and evidenced base guidelines. These references include, but are not limited to: Milliman, Hayes, DrugDex, NCCN, AAP, Transfusion Medicine, Biologics Compendium, Infectious Disease Society America (IDSA), American Society of Hematology, and CMS coverage policy.
The following US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved hemophilia agents may be considered medically necessary under the pharmacy benefit for the listed FDA approved indications (8,9,21-34), as follows:
Drug / Hemophilia Agent
FDA Approved Indication(s)
(Antihemophilic Factor [Recombinant])
Alphanate vWF
(Antihemophilic Factor /VWF [Human])
(Coagulation Factor IX [Human])
Bebulin/ Bebulin VH
(Coagulation Factor IX [Recombinant])
(Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex)
(Antihemophilic Factor [Human])
Humate-P (Antihemophilic Factor /VWF [Human])
NOTE: This applies to patients with severe vWD as well as patients with mild to moderate vWD where use of desmopressin is known or inadequate.
Koate-DVI/ Koate HP
Kogenate FS
NovoSeven RT
(Coagulation Factor VIIA [Recombinant])
The goal of therapy is to increase the concentration of the missing factor to prevent and treat the bleed. To treat these patients, it is necessary to infuse the deficient clotting factor concentration. (4) These differing therapies are neither pharmacologically nor therapeutically equivalent and will vary based upon purity, half-life, recovery, method of manufacturing, viral removal and inactivation processes, potential immunogenicity, etc. (5) Table 1 lists the preferred therapies for these congenital coagulation disorders and related complications.
Table 1. Preferred Therapy for Specific Congenital Coagulation Disorders
Preferred Therapy
von Willebrand Disease
• Desmopressin
• If desmopressin is not sufficient, many of the plasma derived factor VIII products have been licensed for use in vWD
Hemophilia A
• Recombinant factor VIII Products
Hemophilia B
• Recombinant factor IX Products
Hemophilia A or B with inhibitors
• Anti-inhibitor Coagulant Complex
• Recombinant factor VIIa
Treatment of Acute Bleeding
Table 2 provides a reference for administration of recombinant factors for the control of bleeding. (6)

Most bleeding occurs internally. Typical sites of bleeding are joints, muscles, and mucous membranes. Life threatening bleeds are often central nervous system (CNS), neck/throat, and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds. Duration of therapy differs depending on the site of the bleed. Table 3 provides guidelines on the duration of administration depending on site. (3)

3-5, sometimes longer as secondary prophylaxis during physiotherapy
Throat and neck:
Deep laceration
Surgery (major):
Surgery (minor):

NV, neurovascular
Prophylactic Therapy
In some instances, lower doses of factor products are given prophylactically to hemophilia patients. Prophylaxis is recommended as the optimal treatment modality for individuals with severe hemophilia by MASAC/NHF and the World Health Organization (WHO). (4,12) The goal of prophylaxis is to prevent spontaneous bleeding and joint destruction. Prophylaxis was conceived from the idea that moderate hemophilia patients with a factor level > 1 IU/dL rarely have spontaneous bleeds and have much better joint function.3 It is unclear whether all patients should remain on prophylaxis long term. Table 4 outlines the two protocols for which there is long term data; however treatment should be individualized to the specific patient. (3)
Table 4. Prophylactic Protocols Currently Used for Hemophilia Patients
Prophylaxis Protocol
Respective Factor Concentrate Dose
Administration for Hemophilia A
Administration for Hemophilia B
Malmo Protocol
25-40 IU/kg/dose
Utrecht Protocol
15-30 IU/kg/dose
Note: In patients with repeated bleeding, short term prophylaxis for 4-8 weeks has been shown to interrupt the bleeding cycle
Hemophilia with inhibitors
In some patients with hemophilia, administered factor VIII concentrate or factor IX concentrate is recognized as a foreign protein and anti-factor VIII or factor IX antibodies are produced. Because they inhibit the activity of factor VIII and factor IX, the anti-factor antibodies are known as inhibitors. This phenomenon is most predominant in hemophilia A (25-35% of patients). (7) When this occurs, anti-inhibitor coagulant complex or recombinant factor VIa concentrate may be used to treat bleeding episodes. (2,7) The anti-inhibitor complex, marketed as FEIBA, is indicated for the control of spontaneous bleeding episodes or to cover surgical interventions in hemophilia A and B patients with inhibitors. FEIBA contains activated factors IIa, VIIa, and Xa- factors that are able to bypass an inhibitor to factor VIII or Factor IX in order to promote hemostatis. (8,9) The other available medication, recombinant factor VIIa concentrate, NovoSeven, is indicated for the treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophilia A or B patients with inhibitors to factor VIII or factor IX. (8)
A retrospective analysis evaluated whether the type of factor VIII product and/or switching among these products was associated with the development of clinically relevant inhibitory antibodies in previously untreated children with severe hemophilia A (N =574). Primary outcomes were defined as inhibitor development (defined as ≥ 2 positive inhibitor testes with decreased in vivo recovery of factor VIII levels). (18) Results showed that plasma derived products conferred a risk of inhibitor development similar to recombinant products (adjusted hazard ratio vs. recombinant products, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.62 to 1.49). (18) The content of vWF in the products and switching among products was not associated with the risk of inhibitor development. (18)
The Medical and Scientific Advisory Committee of the National Hemophilia Foundation (MASAC/NHF) state that for high-titer inhibitors, immune tolerance induction (ITI) is the best option. ITI helps restore the clinical response to factor VIII/ factor IX concentrates over time. ITI involves giving regular doses of factor VIII concentrate to eradicate the inhibitor and achieve immunogenic acceptance of the administered factor VIII. The main goal of therapy is for the inhibitors to disappear and for the patient to respond normally to concentrated factors. (10,11) There are currently no definitive guidelines on dosing or duration of ITI therapy although there are a number of established protocols including the Bonn protocol, the Malmo Protocol and the vanCreveld Protocol. (20) While it is difficult to know when to discontinue ITI therapy in patients with a suboptimal response a review article by Benson et al suggests a reasonable duration of therapy to be between 9 and 33 months. (20)
Safety and Efficacy
Factor Concentrate
While all plasma-derived human anti-hemophilia factor products carry the risk of iatrogenic infection via blood-borne pathogens, (13) improvements in the viral-depleting process and donor screening processes have resulted in plasma derived factor concentrates with reduced risk of transmission of HIV, hepatitis B and C. Recombinant factor use decreases the risk of viral infection, allergic reaction and thromboembolic complications associated with factor treatment. (3) Hemolysis has been associated with the administration of large doses of concentrate to patients with blood groups A, B or AB.
Plasma and recombinant factor agents exhibit similar hemostatic properties and ability to correct factor deficiencies. No concrete evidence of differences in efficacy exists.
MASAC/NHF Guidelines recommend recombinant factor VIII or factor IX concentrate as the treatment of choice for hemophilia A or B. (15) Factors to consider when choosing plasma derived vs. recombinant derived factor are the reliability of the supply, degree of scientific validation, patient convenience, and preference. Some countries (such as Canada, Sweden, Norway, UK, and Ireland) have chosen to switch all hemophilia patients to recombinant products, whereas the United States has adopted a more gradual approach. (17) There is insufficient data to recommend one recombinant product over another.
Anti-Inhibitor Complex/ Recombinant Factor VIIa
Use of anti-inhibitor coagulant complex (FEIBA) has been associated with allergic reactions including urticaria, rash, pruritus, fever, chills, and anaphylactoid reactions. (8) Adverse reactions occurring in >5% of the patients treated with recombinant factor VIIa include fever, decreased serum fibrinogen levels, hypertension, and non-specific bleeding. The incidence of thrombotic events with NovoSeven is low; only 22 cases in over 700,000 treatment courses have been reported. (14)
The FEIBA NovoSeven Comparative Study (FENOC) was an open label, randomized, crossover, equivalency design used to test for equivalence of the products in the treatment of ankle, knee, and elbow joint bleeding. The percentage of patients who reported efficacy in response to FEIBA and/or NovoSeven 6 hours after treatment was the parameter of interest. Data from 96 bleeding episodes contributed by 48 participants were analyzed. The statistical criterion for declaring the 2 products equivalent was not met. At 6 hours after infusion, 80.9% reported efficacy with FEIBA and 78.7% reported efficacy for NovoSeven. The confidence interval exceeded the predefined 15% boundary (-11.4%, -15.7%) needed to claim equivalency. The main finding is that FEIBA and NovoSeven appear to exhibit similar effect on joint bleeds, although the efficacy between products is rated differently by a substantial proportion of patients. (19)

Meanwhile, Tomorrowland is swathed with tarps, covering Buzz up past the Premier shop on oneside, and on the other covering Star Tours to Star TRader. And then, the Innoventions building is now largely covered in tarp.
At least the area music was blasting pretty loud, which was a plus.

Visteon files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
By AP
VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, MI – VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, MI (AP) - Auto parts supplier Visteon says it -- along with some of its U.S. units -- has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
This comes as the company struggles with reduced demand from automakers amid plans for extended plant shutdowns this summer.
The company filed its petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The company's Visteon UK unit separately filed for bankruptcy protection last month and closed three British plants.
The Van Buren Township, Mich.-based auto parts supplier earlier this month posted a sharp drop in first-quarter revenue as automakers cut back on their output in the face of dwindling car sales.

Web Letter
When a lawyer perceives that he/she has a conflict of interest in a "case" it is customary to declare what it is and be removed from that case. The legal term for this is called "recuse."
All Jews have an understood loyalty or bias towards Israel, which is understandable. In that case, shouldn't all Jews recuse themselves from being involved in Middle East negotiations etc. on America's behalf ?
Isn't there an ethics issue when America is represented by a Jew in "peace negotiations " between Arabs and Jews?
When a critical mass of Americans finally decides to restore ethics to America in this regard, a positive direction will surely follow.
Islamic nations are not fooled by Obams's contention that America is not at war with Islam, and when they are confronted by a Jewish American representing American interests they are doubly mystified or insulted.
Mr. Ross is a Jew with business interests in Israel and a long history of supporting Israeli right-wing interests is obviously biased and US and Israeli interests are not always the same.
