Microsoft at one stage turned down a chance to own the title that would end up becoming intriguing PlayStation 4 exclusive Rime, leaked documents have revealed.
VG Leaks published the documents, which showed that Tequila Works asked Microsoft for $3 million to develop an Xbox Live Arcade version of what was then called Echoes of Siren. The title would also come to Windows 8 and Windows Phone, and was described as "Gauntlet meets Minecraft meets Jason and the Argonauts" in its pitch document.
Microsoft studios exec Phil Spencer answered a question on Twitter about why Microsoft declined the option to fund the game. "Part of job is living with mistakes," said Spencer.
"Passed on Guitar Hero...I can list many misses regretfully. I try to focus on what we did ship."
"We'll miss some, nature of the beast," he added, "it's why I don't hate when games ship elsewhere. Cool to see team's idea turn into great game."
Rime is still in development for PlayStation 4. It does not yet have a release date, but captured the imagination of many when it was unveiled at Gamescom 2013.

SUMMARY: When interest in your publishing niche is booming but your target audience is spread out among several demographic groups, how can you afford to reach them?
A green publisher was admittedly "hemorrhaging money" and seeing less ROI on their direct marketing. Using email and targeted list purchases, they're now seeing conversion rates as high as 20%. Best of all, they reduced by half the cost of adding a subscriber.

Replying to: help with bluetooth headset by cdog2198
Re: help with bluetooth headset
I have the i-mate PDA2K and they are working on fixing the bluetooth problems. There have been two patches for the PDA2K which have helped but not eliminated the problems. One (which has been fixed) was that the device would frquently wake-up from standby for no reason. The other (not fixed) was a failure to re-connect to the BT headset which was evident after the device was in standby for a while. The BT connection wouldn't always resume afterwards. They have a full firmware upgrade now which I am about to perform. These patches/updates are only for the i-mate. For other brands of this device you'll have to harrass your vendor...

Purple Hairstreak
Neozephyrus quercus
Almost a miniature purple emperor, this is also a butterfly of the woodland canopy, exquisite in the purple wings of both male and female but requiring a lot of effort to see, and strong neck muscles for gazing upwards for long periods at a time. Its treetop existence means it is often overlooked.
Larval food plant: oak leaves Where seen: high in the tops of oak trees, but not necessarily in woods. It can be found in parks and gardens and even in central London. Current conservation status: stable.

text: The Medical Home Index: Revised Short Form: Pediatric Measuring the Organization and Delivery of Pediatric Primary Care for All Children, Youth, and Families The Medical Home Index (MHI) is a validated self-assessment and classification tool designed to translate the broad indicators defining the medical home (accessible, family-centered, comprehensive, coordinated, etc.) into observable, tangible behaviors and processes of care within any office setting. It is a way of measuring and quantifying the "medical homeness" of a primary care practice. The MHI is based on the premise that "medical home" is an evolutionary process rather than a fully realized status for most practices. The MHI measures a practice's progress in this developmental process.The MHI defines, describes, and quantifies activities related to the organization and delivery of primary care for all children and youth. A population of vulnerable children and youth, including those with special health care needs, benefit greatly from having a high quality medical home. The medical home model represents the standard of excellence for pediatric primary care; this means the primary care practice is ready and willing to provide well, acute and chronic care for all children and youth, including those affected by special health care needs or who hold other risks for compromised health and wellness.The MHI-Revised Short Form (MHI-RSF) is a subset of 14 items from the MHI. The numbers in bold denote the 14 items on the MHI-RSF, and the numbers that are not in bold are the original item numbers from the MHI. You will be asked to rank the level (1-4) of your practice in six domains: organizational capacity, chronic condition management, care coordination, community outreach, data management and quality improvement/change. Most practices may not function at many of the higher levels (Levels 3 and 4). However, these levels represent the kinds of services and supports which families report that they need from their medical home. A frank assessment of your current practice will best characterize your medical home baseline, and will help to identify needed improvement supports.A companion survey to the Medical Home Index, the Medical Home Family Index (MHFI), is intended for use with a cohort of practice families (particularly those who have children/youth affected by a chronic health condition). The MHFI is to be completed by families whose children have received care from a practice for over a year. The MHFI provides the practice team with a valuable parent/consumer perspective on the overall experience of care.Clinic Contact InformationDate: _____________Clinic Name: ___________________________________________Street Address: __________________________________________City: __________________________________________________ State: ___________ Zip Code: ___________Phone: ____________________ Fax: ____________________Email: _______________________________Who took the lead in completing this form? ______________________________Title/Position/Role: ____________________________Who should we contact at your clinic if we have questions about your responses, or if responses are missing/incomplete?Name (if different than the person who completed this form): ___________________________Title/Position/Role: __________________________Best phone number to reach contact, if different than above: _______________________Contact Email: ___________________________Describe your practice type/model: __________________________Number of: MD's _____ ARNPs _____ PA' s_____ Other ______Is there a care coordinator working at your practice who supports children, youth, and families? __ Yes __ NoWhat is the estimated number of children that your practice cares for? ______What is your patient panel size? _____Can you estimate the percentage (total should = 100%) of children you care for who have:1) Public insurance only (Medicaid/Medicare) ____%2) Private & Medicaid/Medicare ____%3) Self/No pay ____%4) Private insurance only ____%5) Other ____% How familiar/knowledgeable are you about the concept of a medical home as defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics?1) __ No knowledge of the concepts2) __ Some knowledge/not applied3) __ Knowledgeable/concept sometimes applied in practice4) __ Knowledgeable/concepts regularly applied in practice How familiar/knowledgeable are you about the elements of family-centered care as defined by the US Maternal and Child Health Bureau?1) __ No knowledge of the concepts2) __ Some knowledge/not applied3) __ Knowledgeable/concept sometimes applied in practice4) __ Knowledgeable/concepts regularly applied in practiceINSTRUCTIONS:This instrument is organized under six domains: 1) Organizational Capacity, 2) Chronic Condition Management, 3) Care Coordination, 4) Community Outreach, 5) Data Management, 6) Quality ImprovementEach domain has anywhere from 1-4 themes; these themes are represented with progressively comprehensive care processes and are expressed as a continuum from Level 1 through Level 4. For each theme please do the following:First:Read each theme across its progressive continuum from Levels 1 to Level 4.Second:Select the LEVEL (1, 2, 3 or 4) which best describes how your practice currently provides care for patients with chronic health conditions.Third:When you have selected your Level, please indicate whether practice performance within that level is:"PARTIAL" (some activity within that level) or "COMPLETE" (all activity within that level).For the example below, "Domain 1: Organizational Capacity, Theme 1. 1 "The Mission..." the score for the practice is: "Level 3", "PARTIAL".Italicized terms are included in the glossary at the end of this page.EXAMPLEDomain 1: Organizational Capacity:THEMELevel 1Level 2Level 3Level 4#1.1 The Mission of the PracticePrimary care providers (PCPs) at the practice have individual ways of delivering care to children with special health care needs (CSHCN); their own education, experience and interests drive care quality.Approaches to the care of CSHCN at the practice are child rather than family-centered; office needs drive the implementation of care (e.g. the process of carrying out care).The practice uses a family-centered approach to care, they assess CSHCN and the needs of their families in accordance with its mission; feedback is solicited from families and influences office policy (e.g. the way things are done).In addition to Level 3, a parent/ practice "advisory group" promotes family-centered strategies, practices and policies (e.g. enhanced communication methods or systematic inquiry of family concerns/priorities); a written, visible mission statement reflects practice commitment to quality care for CSHCN and their families.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETEDomain 1: Organizational Capacity: For CSHCN and Their FamiliesTHEMELevel 1Level 2Level 3Level 41#1.2 Communication/ AccessCommunication between the family and the primary care provider (PCP) occurs as a result of family inquiry; PCP contacts with the family are for test result delivery or planned medical follow-up.In addition to Level 1, standardized office communication methods are identified to the family by the practice (e.g. call-in hours, phone triage for questions, or provider call back hours).Practice and family communicate at agreed upon intervals and both agree on "best time and way to contact me"; individual needs prompt weekend or other special appointments.In addition to Level 3, office activities encourage individual requests for flexible access; access and communication preferences are documented in the care plan and used by other practice staff (e.g. fax, e-mail or web messages, home, school or residential care visits).__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE2#1.5 Family Feedback CMHI has determined that item 1.5 requires the input of both physician and non-physician staff to best capture practice activity.Family feedback to the practice occurs through external mechanisms such as satisfaction surveys issued by a health plan; this information is not always shared with practice staff.Feedback from families of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) is elicited sporadically by individual practice providers or by a suggestion box; this feedback is shared informally with other providers and staff.Feedback from families of CSHCN regarding their perception of care is gathered through systematic methods (e.g. surveys, focus groups, or interviews); there is a process for staff to review this feedback and to begin problem solving.In addition to Level 3, an advisory process is in place with families of CSHCN which helps to identify needs and implement creative solutions; there are tangible supports to enable families to participate in these activities (e.g. childcare or parent stipends).__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE3#1.6 Cultural CompetenceThe PCP attempts to overcome obstacles of language, literacy, or personal preferences on a case by case basis when confronted with barriers to care.In addition to Level 1, resources and information are available for families of the most common diverse cultural backgrounds; others are assisted individually through efforts to obtain translators or to access information from outside sources.In addition to Level 2, materials are available and appropriate for non- English speaking families, those with limited literacy; these materials are appropriate to the developmental level of the child/young adult.In addition to Level 3, family assessments include pertinent cultural information, particularly about health beliefs; this information is incorporated into care plans; the practice uses these encounters to assess patient & community cultural needs.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETEDomain 2: Chronic Condition Management (CCM): For CSHCN and Their FamiliesTHEMELevel 1Level 2Level 3Level 44#2.1 Identification of Children in the Practice with Special Health Care NeedsCSHCN be counted informally (e.g. by memory or from recent acute encounter); comprehensive identification can be done through individual chart review only.Lists of children with special health care needs are extracted electronically by diagnostic code.A CSHCN list is generated by applying a definition, the list is used to enhance care +/or define practice activities (e.g. to flag charts and computer databases for special attention or identify the population and its subgroups)In addition to Level 3, diagnostic codes for CSHCN are documented, problem lists are current, and complexity levels are assigned to each child; this information creates an accessible practice database.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE5#2.2 Care ContinuityVisits occur with the child's own PCP as a result of acute problems or well child schedules; the family determines follow up.Non-acute visits occur with families and their PCP to address chronic condition care; the PCP determines appropriate visit intervals; follow-up includes communication of tasks to staff and of lab and medical test results to the family.The team (including PCP, family, and staff) develops a plan of care for CSHCN which details visit schedules and communication strategies; home, school and community concerns are addressed in this plan. Practice back up/cross coverage providers are informed by these plans.In addition to Level 3, the practice/teams use condition protocols; they include goals, services, interventions and referral contacts. A designated care coordinator uses these tools and other standardized office processes which support children and families.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE6#2.4 Cooperative Management Between Primary Care Provider (PCP) and SpecialistsSpecialty referrals occur in response to specific diagnostic and therapeutic needs; families are the main initiators of communication between specialists and their PCP.In addition to Level 1, specialty referrals use phone, written and/or electronic communications; the PCP waits for or relies upon the specialists to communicate back their recommendations.The PCP and family set goals for referrals and communicate these to specialists; together they clarify co-management roles among family, PCP and specialists and determine how specialty feedback to the family and PCP is expressed, used, and shared.In addition to Level 3, the family has the option of using the practice in a strong coordinating role; parents as partners with the practice manage their child's care using specialists for consultations and information (unless they decide it is prudent for the specialist to manage the majority of their child's care).__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE7#2.5 Supporting the Transition to AdulthoodPediatric and adolescent PCPs adhere to defined health maintenance schedules for youth with special health care needs in their practice.Pediatric and adolescent PCPs offer age appropriate anticipatory guidance for specific youth & families related to their chronic condition, self-care, nutrition, fitness, sexuality, and other health behavior information.Pediatric and adolescent PCPs support youth & family to manage their health using a transition time line & developmental approach; they assess needs & offer culturally effective guidance related to:health & wellnesseducation & vocational planningguardianship and legal & financial issuescommunity supports & recreationWhen youth transition from pediatrician to adult provider:Pediatricians help to identify an adult PCP and sub-specialists and offer ongoing consultation to youth, family and providers during the transition process.Adult providers offer an initial "welcome" visit and a review of transition goals.In addition to level 3, progressively from age 12, youth, family and PCP develop a written transition plan within the care plan; it is made available to families and all involved providers. Youth and families receive coordination support to link their health and transition plans with other relevant adolescent and adult providers/services/ agencies (e.g. sub-specialists, educational, financial, insurance, housing, recreation employment and legal assistance).__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETEDomain 3: Care Coordination: For CSHCN and Their FamiliesTHEMELevel 1Level 2Level 3Level 48#3.1 Care Coordination/ Role DefinitionThe family coordinates care without specific support; they integrate office recommendations into their child's care.The PCP or a staff member engages in care support activities as needed; involvement with the family is variable.Care coordination activities are based upon ongoing assessments of child and family needs; the practice partners with the family (and older child) to accomplish care coordination goals.Practice staff offer a set of care coordination activities, their level of involvement fluctuates according to family needs/wishes. A designated care coordinator ensures the availability of these activities including written care plans with ongoing monitoring.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE9#3.2 Family InvolvementThe PCP makes medical recommendations and defines care coordination needs; the family carries these out.Families (and their older CSHCN are regularly asked what care supports they need; treatment decisions are made jointly with the PCP.In addition to Level 2, families (and older CSHCN) are given the option of centralizing care coordination activities at and in partnership with the practice.In addition to Level 3, children & families contribute to a description of care coordination activities; a care coordinator specifically develops and implements this practice capacity which is evaluated by families and designated supervisors.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE10#3.4 Assessment of Needs/ Plans of CarePresentation of CSHCN with acute problems determines how needs are addressed.PCPs identify specific needs of CSHCN; follow-up tasks are arranged for, or are assigned to families &/or available staff.The child with special needs, family, and PCP review current child health status and anticipated problems or needs; they create/ revise action plans and allocate responsibilities at least 2 times per year or at individualized intervals.In addition to Level 3, the PCP/staff and families create a written plan of care that is monitored at every visit; the office care coordinator is available to the child and family to implement, update and evaluate the care plan.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETEDomain 4: Community Outreach: For CSHCN and Their FamiliesTHEMELevel 1Level 2Level 3Level 411#4.1 Community Assessment of Needs for CSHCNPCP awareness of the population of children with special health care needs CSHCN in their community is directly related to the number of children for whom the provider cares.The practice learns about issues and needs related to CSHCNs from key community informants; providers blend this input with their own personal observations to make an informal and personal assessment of the needs of CSHCN in their community.In addition to Level 2, providers raise their own questions regarding the population of CSHCN in their practice community; they seek pertinent data and information from families and local/state sources and use data to inform practice care activities.In addition to Level 3, at least one clinical practice provider participates in a community-based public health need assessment about CSHCN, integrates results into practice policies, and shares conclusions about population needs with community & state agencies.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETEDomain 5: Data Management: For CSHCN and Their FamiliesTHEMELevel 1Level 2Level 3Level 412#5.1 Electronic Data SupportPCPs retrieve information/data by individual chart review; electronic data are available and retrievable from payer sources only.Electronic recording of data is limited to billing & scheduling; data are retrieved according to diagnostic code in relation to billing and scheduling; these data are used to identify specific patient groupings.An electronic data system includes identifiers and utilization data about children with special health care needs CSHCN; these data are used for monitoring, tracking, and for indicating levels of care complexity.In addition to Level 3, an electronic data system is used to support the documentation of need, monitoring of clinical care, care plan and related coordination and the determination of outcomes (e.g. clinical, functional, satisfaction and cost outcomes).__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE13#5.2 Data Retrieval CapacityPCP retrieves patient data from paper records in response to outside agency requirements (e.g. quality standards, special projects, or practice improvements).The practice retrieves data from paper records and electronic billing and scheduling for the support of significant office changes (e.g. staffing, or allocation of resources).Data are retrieved from electronic records to identify and quantify populations and to track selected health indicators & outcomes.In addition to Level 3, electronic data are produced and used to drive practice improvements & to measure quality against benchmarks;

This person communicates and promotes improvement goals to the whole practice.The practice has its own systematic QI mechanism for CSHCN; regular provider and staff meetings are used for input and discussions on how to improve care and treatment for this population.In addition to Level 3, the practice actively utilizes QI processes; staff and parents of CSHCN are supported to participate in these QI activities; resulting quality standards are integrated into the operations of the practice.__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETE__ PARTIAL__ COMPLETEInstructions:Please select and circle one level from Levels 1, 2, 3, or 4 for each theme above (circle one).Then indicate whether you place your practice at a PARTIAL or COMPLETE ranking within that level (circle one).Note: Any italicized words are defined in the glossaryPlease make certain you have chosen a Level (1-4).Also indicate whether your practice performance within that level is "partial" (some activity within that level) or "complete" (all activity within the level). Thank You.Glossary of Terms (Words in italics throughout the document are defined below.)Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN):Children with special health care needs are defined by the US Maternal and Child Health Bureau as those who have, or are at increased risk for chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions and who require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.Medical Home:The Center for Medical Home Improvement defines the medical home as a community-based primary care setting which provides and coordinates high quality, planned, patient/family-centered: health promotion (acute, preventive) and chronic condition management.Family-Centered Care:Family-centered care, as defined by the US Maternal and Child Health Bureau, assures the health and well-being of children and their families through a respectful family-professional partnership. It honors the strengths, cultures, traditions and expertise that everyone brings to this relationship. Family-centered care is the standard of practice which results in high quality services.Practice-Based Care CoordinationCare and services performed in partnership with the family and providers by health professionals to:1) Establish family-centered community-based medical homes for CSHCN and their families.-Make assessments and monitor child and family needs.-Participate in parent/professional practice improvement activities.2) Facilitate timely access to the Primary Care Provider (PCP), services and resources.-Offer supportive services including counseling, education and listening.-Facilitate communication among PCP, family and others.3) Build bridges among families and health, education and social services; promotes continuity of care.-Develop, monitor, update and follow-up with care planning and care plans.-Organize wrap around teams with families; support meeting recommendations and follow-up.4) Supply/provide access to referrals, information and education for families across systems.-Coordinate inter-organizationally.-Advocate with and for the family (e.g. to school, day care, or health care settings).5) Maximize effective, efficient, and innovative use of existing resources.-Find, coordinate and promote effective and efficient use of current resources.-Monitor outcomes for child, family and practice.Chronic Condition Management (CCM):CCM acknowledges that children and their families may require more than the usual well child, preventive care, and acute illness interventions. CCM involves explicit changes in the roles of providers and office staff aimed at improving:1) Access to needed services,2) Communication with specialists, schools, and other resources, and3) Outcomes for patients, families, practices, employers and payers.Quality:Quality is best determined or judged by those who need or who use the services being offered. Quality in the medical home is best achieved when one learns what children with special health care needs and their families require for care and what they need for support. Health care teams in partnership with families then work together in ways which enhance the capacity of the family and the practice to meet these needs. Responsive care is designed in ways which incorporate family needs and suggestions. Those making practice improvements must hold a commitment to doing what needs to be done and agree to accomplish these goals in essential partnerships with families.Practice:The place, providers, and staff where the PCP offers pediatric care.Primary Care Provider (PCP):Physician or pediatric nurse practitioner who is considered the main provider of health care for the child.Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB):A division of Health Resources Services Administration.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Pete Maravich Assembly Center (13,215) -- Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Television: ESPNU. Home Record: Florida 7-0, LSU 8-0. Away Record: Florida 2-2, LSU 1-3. Neutral Record: Florida 2-0, LSU 0-0. Conference Record: Florida 1-0, LSU 0-0. Series Record: LSU leads, 60-40.
GAME NOTES: The 11th-ranked Florida Gators hit the road for two straight SEC affairs, starting with Saturday's clash with the LSU Tigers at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Billy Donovan's Gators are an impressive 11-2 on the season and bring a three- game win streak into Baton Rouge, after opening league play at home against Georgia on Wednesday with a 77-44 rout of the Bulldogs.
Johnny Jones' first season with the Tigers has been successful for the most part. His first SEC test however, wasn't ideal, as LSU dropped a 68-63 decision to Auburn on the road. The loss ended a brief two-game win streak and dropped LSU to 9-3 on the year. The Tigers do sport a flawless 8-0 mark in Baton Rouge this season.
These two teams have met 100 times prior to this season. The Tigers hold a 60-40 advantage overall, including a 33-12 mark in Baton Rouge. However, Florida has won each of the last three meetings.
The Gators get it done with stingy defensive play this season. The tram is allowing a mere 52.0 ppg to rank fourth nationally in that category. Opponents are shooting just .369 overall (12th nationally) and Florida enjoys a +8.0 rebounding margin, while forcing 15.2 turnovers per contest. The offensive numbers aren't bad either, with UF shooting an efficient .486 from the floor and putting up 73.5 ppg. Four Gators are currently averaging double figures, led by Kenny Boynton's 13.3 ppg. Fellow guard Mike Rosario is a close second at 12.3 ppg, followed by a pair of frontcourt contributors in forward Erik Murphy (12.0 ppg) and center Patric Young (10.8 ppg).
The Gators opened their league slate with an 11-0 run against Georgia and never looked back in a lopsided affair in Gainesville this week. Florida scored 27 points off of 19 Georgia turnovers and had four players notch double figures, led by Rosario's 19 points. Young and Murphy both posted 11 points, while Casey Prather finished with 10 in his first start.
The Tigers have shown plenty of scoring punch this season, averaging a healthy 76.0 ppg, while shooting .444 from the floor. Those numbers have come despite the team struggling at the free-throw line (.599). LSU's scoring depth is apparent, with five Tigers all making significant contributions. Shavon Coleman leads the team in both scoring (13.3 ppg) and rebounding (8.7 rpg). Andre Stringer is next in the scoring column (11.8 ppg), followed closely by Johnny O'Bryant (11.4 ppg), Anthony Hickey (10.9 ppg) and Charles Carmouche (10.3 ppg).
LSU failed to find its offensive rhythm in its loss to Auburn this week. The Tigers shot just .373 from the floor in the game, with three players netting double digits. Carmouche had a strong game, posting 15 points and seven assists. Stringer and Hickey chipped in with 13 points apiece. The Tigers once again had their problems from the charity stripe, converting just 4-of-10 opportunities.
The Tigers may be undefeated at home this season, but unless they start taking advantage at the free-throw line, they will definitely struggle against the upper echelon in the conference. Florida certainly falls into that category.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Florida 74, LSU 65

Boeing Business Jet president Steven Hill will hand over the reins of his BBJ unit to programme chief pilot Capt Steve Taylor, concluding a 35-year career with the US airframer.
Under Hill's tenure, which began in August 2004, Boeing launched the BBJ 3, 787 and747-8 VIP, and now the BBJ C.
While chief pilot, Taylor was the liaison to the worldwide community of BBJ pilots, gathering their input and preferences as aviators, as Boeing worked to continuously enhance the flightdeck of the specially modified 737s.
The pair of executives joked at Monday's briefing as they made the public transition of leadership of the BBJ unit, which was launched in 1996.
Upon concluding his final remarks ahead of the question and answer portion of the briefing, the departing Hill quipped to the assembled journalists:"All the hard questions are for Steve [Taylor]."

HomeResearchClinical StudiesInformation for Researchers and Health ProfessionalsNIDCD Guidelines for Data and Safety Monitoring of Clinical Trials
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) uses the following system for the appropriate oversight and monitoring of the conduct of clinical trials to ensure the safety of participants and the validity and integrity of the data for all NIDCD-supported clinical studies, including clinical trials.
National Institutes of Health (NIH) policy stipulates that a system be in place for appropriate oversight and monitoring to ensure the safety of participants and the validity of the data in all NIH-sponsored or NIH-conducted clinical studies (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-084.html). Investigators are required to submit a description of a monitoring plan for all clinical trials to the funding institute or center (IC) as part of the research application. The monitoring plan must include a general description of the mechanisms for reporting adverse events to the Institutional Review Board(s) (IRB), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the NIH. Oversight of the monitoring activity will be the joint responsibility of the investigator(s) and the NIDCD program director. The initial review group will review this plan, and any comments and concerns will be included in an administrative note in the summary statement. NIDCD staff will ensure that all concerns are resolved before any award is made. A detailed data and safety monitoring plan must be submitted to the NIDCD program director prior to an award being made. The plan should address how the investigator will implement the data and safety monitoring activities.
NIDCD-supported clinical trial monitoring activities should be commensurate with the nature, size, and complexity of the study. The data and safety monitoring plan may vary from a safety officer to a committee known as a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). This ongoing review of the data by an independent individual or DSMB assures the investigator(s) that the study can continue without jeopardizing patient safety. These monitoring activities are distinct from the requirement for study review and approval by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
The NIH requires data and safety monitoring in the form of DSMBs for Phase III clinical trials. For earlier trials (Phase I and Phase II), a DSMB may be appropriate if the studies have multiple clinical sites, employ particularly high-risk interventions, or involve vulnerable populations. However, other monitoring schemes for Phase I and Phase II clinical trials may be appropriate depending on the risk to participants, the population being studied, the research environment, etc.
The following provides illustrative examples of appropriate types of monitoring and oversight for different types of trials. These examples are not exhaustive; monitoring activities should be appropriate to the study, population, research environment, and degree of risk involved.
Phase I: A typical Phase I clinical trial of a new agent or procedure frequently involves relatively high risk to a small number of participants. The investigator and occasionally others may have the only relevant knowledge regarding the treatment because these are the first human uses. As an example, a study investigator would perform continuous monitoring of participant safety with frequent reporting to a safety officer/DSMB and to the NIDCD staff with oversight responsibility for the study. The investigator and the NIDCD should appoint the safety officer/DSMB and agree on the frequency and contents of the monitoring report. The implementation of this approach should be part of the monitoring plan.
Phase II: A typical Phase II trial follows Phase I studies and provides more information regarding risks, benefits, and monitoring procedures. In Phase II studies, more participants are involved. Monitoring may be similar to that of a Phase I study, but a DSMB is more commonly used.
Phase III: A Phase III clinical trial compares a new treatment or procedure to a standard treatment or procedure or to no treatment. Treatment allocations are randomly assigned, and the data are usually masked. Such studies involve several clinical sites and usually involve a large number of participants followed for longer periods of treatment exposure. In a Phase III study, the investigators must consider the long-term effects of a study agent or procedure for safety and/or efficacy differences between the control and study groups. All Phase III clinical trials require monitoring by a DSMB (http://www.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-084.html). The implementation of this approach should be part of the monitoring plan. The organization, responsibilities, and operation of the DSMB are described below.
For studies co-funded with other ICs, the lead IC will be responsible for monitoring the study and establishing a DSMB if necessary. Oversight of the DSMB will be the collaborative responsibility of the lead IC and the NIDCD.
The Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) serves as an advisory body to both the study investigators and the NIDCD. The DSMB is responsible for oversight of the activities related to implementing the clinical study to ensure patient safety; conformance to the clinical protocol; overall performance of the study components, such as the study chair office, coordinating center, and clinical sites; and integrity of the data being collected.
Each clinical trial supported by the NIDCD has gone through the NIH peer review process plus secondary review by its national advisory board; therefore, it is not the role of the DSMB to serve as a peer review group to redesign any portion of the study, unless the DSMB feels that patient safety or data validity is compromised under the proposed design. In this case, the DSMB should communicate its concerns to the NIDCD and to the study investigators prior to the start of participant recruitment.
The study chair and/or coordinating center are responsible for providing overall management of the DSMB. Tasks include but are not limited to the following:
The NIDCD representative to the DSMB or designee will appoint the DSMB voting members, including the DSMB chair, based on recommendations from the study leadership and NIDCD program staff. The DSMB shall consist of voting members with expertise in biostatistics, clinical trial methodology, ethics, specialty areas of medicine, and laboratory sciences as appropriate. Selection will be based on experience, knowledge of clinical study methodology, participation on other DSMBs, and absence of apparent conflicts of interest, including financial, propriety, or intellectual. NIDCD program staff shall serve as non-voting ex officio members. The study chair and representatives from the coordinating center may also serve as non-voting ex officio members at the discretion of the voting members of the DSMB.
Voting members of the DSMB should be independent of the trial being monitored. A voting member may be from an institution participating in the study. In this situation, the member should view his or her role as representing the interest of the participants enrolled in the study and not that of the institution.
The voting members of the DSMB will be reimbursed for expenses related to serving on the board through funds provided by the NIDCD to either the study chair's cooperative agreement or the coordinating center's cooperative agreement. These funds will be used to reimburse each member for travel expenses (coach fare only), hotel costs, per diem at U.S. Government rate for the city where the meeting is held, and a daily participation fee at the rate allowed by the U.S. Government for each day in attendance at the meeting.
The frequency of DSMB meetings will depend on the nature of the study. A DSMB should meet at least annually. Each meeting may be divided into four parts.
Interim meetings and/or conference calls may be held at the request of DSMB members, the study leadership, or the NIDCD. The DSMB has the right to request and review unmasked data by treatment group or by individual subject at any time if the DSMB feels these data are necessary to evaluate safety or other aspects of the trial. If the NIDCD or the study leadership requests that the DSMB vote on issues using a ballot, the ballots will be returned to the NIDCD program officer managing the trial. Only the aggregate vote on each issue will be reported to the study leadership and the DSMB by the NIDCD program officer. A majority vote is required to carry any issue.
A written report containing at least the current status of the study, performance and data quality, interim outcome data, and any toxicity data should be sent to DSMB members by the study chair or coordinating center at least two weeks prior to the meeting to allow sufficient time for the DSMB members to review the report. This report should address any specific concerns about the conduct of the study. The report may contain recommendations for consideration by the DSMB concerning clinical center performance, whether to continue accrual and/or follow up, whether to close the study, and whether the results should be published.
Please note that these meeting guidelines may be modified in the future. NIDCD encourages investigators to check this site periodically for any future changes in these guidelines.
DSMB recommendations should be based on results from the trials being monitored as well as on published data from other studies. It is the responsibility of the coordinating center, study chair, study investigators, NIDCD staff, and individual DSMB members to ensure that the DSMB is kept apprised of non-confidential outcome results from other related studies as they become available. NIDCD staff are responsible for keeping the DSMB apprised of any programmatic concerns related to the study being monitored.
DSMB recommendations are advice provided to the NIDCD and to the study investigators. DSMB recommendations will be provided to the study leadership and to the NIDCD as soon as possible but no longer than 10 business days following the DSMB meeting. No action on the recommendations is to be taken by the study leadership until the recommendations have been reviewed and accepted by the NIDCD. The NIDCD representative to the DSMB will notify the study leadership and the DSMB of NIDCD's decision(s) on the recommendations.
DSMB recommendations that a study change for patient safety or efficacy reasons, or that a study be closed early due to slow accrual or other reasons should be communicated to the study leadership and the NIDCD immediately following the DSMB meeting. It is the responsibility of the study chair and coordinating center, in collaboration with the NIDCD, to review the recommendation(s) and to implement the change(s) as expeditiously as possible. If the study leadership and/or the NIDCD do not concur with the DSMB's recommendation, it will be the responsibility of the NIDCD representative to the DSMB or designee, study leadership, and the DSMB chair to reach a mutually acceptable decision about the study. If such an agreement cannot be reached, final authority will rest with the NIDCD. Confidentiality must be maintained during these discussions.
If a recommendation is made to change a protocol for reasons other than patient safety or efficacy or for slow accrual, the DSMB will provide an adequate rationale for its decision. In the absence of disagreement, the coordinating center will be responsible for amending the protocol and notifying the clinical centers as expeditiously as possible. It will be the responsibility of the local clinical center directors to notify their local IRBs of any protocol changes.
Note: The information below provides general guidelines for assessing and reporting adverse events. Specific reporting requirements may vary with each clinical trial protocol, depending on specific requests from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
NIDCD guidelines follow 1996 and 2000 International Conferences on Harmonization, sections E2 and E6 Good Clinical Practice, and Health and Human Services (HHS) and FDA regulations. Reporting to the FDA is required if the FDA has issued an investigational new drug exemption (IND) or an investigational device exemption (IDE). The IRB has ultimate authority in assessing, managing, and reporting adverse events.
Adverse event (AE): Any unfavorable change in health, including abnormal laboratory findings, that occurs in a trial participant during the clinical trial or within a specified period following the trial. Two types of adverse event data are to be reported: "serious" and "non-serious" adverse events. An AE can be anticipated or unanticipated.
Serious Adverse Event (SAE): Any AE (unfavorable change in health) that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Other important medical events, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may also be considered SAEs if a trial participant's health is at risk and intervention is required to prevent an outcome mentioned.
SAE Reporting: The study coordinator or principal investigator should report by telephone, fax, or email all deaths and life-threatening SAEs within 24 hours to the NIDCD program officer and to the IRB as specified in the protocol. This immediate report should be followed within 7 days by a detailed written report from the study coordinator or principal investigator to the FDA (if IND or IDE issued), NIDCD, IRB, and all participating investigators. All other SAEs should be reported to the NIDCD within 7 days, followed by a detailed written report to the FDA (if IND or IDE issued), NIDCD, IRB, and all participating investigators within 15 days.
Non-serious AE Reporting: For non-serious AEs that are anticipated, the study coordinator/principal investigator must submit a written periodic report to the NIDCD, IRB, and all participating investigators. Unanticipated, non-serious AEs are reported as specified in the protocol. If an IND or IDE has been issued, the FDA is notified of all AEs in periodic reports or annual updates unless otherwise requested.
The medical safety officer, in consultation with the study team, determines the attribution category. The IRB determines whether any modifications to the study protocol or consent forms are required.
Adverse event attribution categories:
The study coordinator revises the study protocol and consent form as appropriate, for final approval by the IRB. Notice of final IRB approval is sent to the NIDCD program officer and the Data and Safety Monitory Board (DSMB).
Confidential outcome data should not be made available to individuals outside of the DSMB. Any release of outcome data to individuals outside of the DSMB must be reviewed and approved by the DSMB, the NIDCD, and the study leadership.
The NIDCD requests that all clinical trials funded by the NIDCD be registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, the clinical trials registry and results database maintained by the National Library of Medicine.
In addition, certain trials supported by the NIH must be registered in ClinicalTrials.gov and must report summary results information, including adverse events, to comply with Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA), also known as FDAAA 801.
No communication, either written or oral, of the deliberations or recommendations of the DSMB will be made outside of the DSMB except as provided for in these guidelines. Outcome results are strictly confidential and must not be divulged to any non-member of the DSMB. Each member of the DSMB, including non-voting members, must sign a statement of confidentiality.
Individuals invited to serve on the DSMB, as either a voting or non-voting member, will disclose any potential conflicts of interest, whether real or perceived, to the NIDCD program director on an annual basis. The study chair or coordinating center will provide each member with a form to be completed and returned to the NIDCD program director. Conflict of interest can include financial interest, professional interest (in the sense of the trial outcome benefiting the individual professionally), proprietary interest, and miscellaneous interest as described in the NIH Grants Policy and 45 CFR Part 94. The NIDCD and the study leadership will make collaborative decisions regarding service by individuals with potential conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest.

Meals Ready to Eat
We all know about the military and their MRE's but has anyone actually done anything like an MRE in the bodybuilding and fitness industry?
I'm talking about pre-cooked and pre-packaged foods, like a single serving of chicken breast, individually packaged and cooked and ready to go.
The reason why I ask this is because, in my life I've identified a convenience need here, most people like me just don't have enough time to do all this cooking and have to rely on supplements - BUT WHAT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO?
I would opt for real food over a shake any day. It helps the satiation.
Do you guys think something like this can be done and done successfully for SERIOUS BODY BUILDERS and Gym Rats in mind?
This wouldn't be something you can go to Costco and get. It would be marketed specifically to the fitness industry.
Let me know what you guys think. Lately nutrition has become a huge interest of mine and I was thinking of how awesome it would be if someone had those things figured out and had the highest nutritional quality food already prepared for me.
It probably can be done. It's an issue of cost, as serious BBer food typically requires more protein, a high-quality protein at that, and is also focused on macro ratios.
I would like to see it myself. It would be really cool if the meals came in different macro combos.
and the market and demand for those products would be very limited, so unless a major company that already exists has the extra money and is willing to take a chance in this economy, i dont think it's gonna happen any time soon, but it is possible
just take one night a week to cook for the rest of the week...you can throw a weeks worth of chicken in a pan in the oven easy
MREs yum...I always enjoyed the beef stew and looked forward to peanut M&Ms and short bread cookies in mine.
Also, the occasional MRE bomb is fun lol.
I do not think a bodybuilding MRE would work well because Military MREs can last a long time and are loaded with sodium.
Anyway I just cook my lunch for the entire week on sunday. Chicken and vegetable stir fry. Everything else I eat is quick.
Jay Cutler's wife eats like that. All her meals are delivered to their house and portioned. In a big enough area (and especially somewhere like Vegas where vanity rules all) you could be very successful.
<open cheek, extract tongue>
Definitely could work... I've thought about it up here, but not enough affluence. I've also thought about private meal preparation, like going into someone's house and making them dinner or whatever. Of course, this would be expensive... but probably about the same price as going out to eat for a family of 4 (~$100). Could be afforded by a lot of people I think.
nutri system???
It probably can be done. It's a problem of price, as serious BBer meals generally needs more proteins, a high-quality proteins at that, and is also targeted on macro percentages. I would like to see it myself. It would be really awesome if the foods came in different macro combinations.

This is kinda frustrating, as the CPU load seems rather low (< 15% when the xrun happened). I guess I'll test out reiserfs and even ext2 to see if the filesystem is the culprit. I turn off just about everything that's not related to the recording process, including NTP, xscreensaver and a few other things. In addition, I run FluxBox (a lightweight WM) rather than either a GNOME or KDE desktop. I've also done a lot of work with hdparm to tune the hard drives, and mount both /tmp and /var/lib/jack/tmp as tmpfs partitions, which helped a LOT. Oh, and I use reiserfs on the partitions that I record to. You definitely want to use a journaling filesystem for critical data like this, and though there's quite a bit of debate on which is better for audio recording, reiserfs has performed like a champ for me. I haven't had an xrun during recording for quite a long time now on a 1GHz P3 system with 512MB of RAM, making me a happy guy.

Surely, surely Rachel Berry wasn't prancing into Charming and sidling up toCharlie Hunnam, aka the true and real Christian Grey, aka Jax Teller. Not my Jax. True, you may not expect me to j'adore SOA but I do and I'm not ashamed to admit it. However, I am disgusted that Lea has landed a part on one of my favorite shows and I demand to know immediately who is responsible for this.
Apparently, LM will be playing the role of Gertie (good, I'm glad her character has a dreadful name) who is a single mother and truck stop waitress that befriends Jax's mom, Gemma. And Lea is just delighted over the role, excitedly Tweeting a selfie from the set. So I guess this is actually happening. And it's more than just a cameo. Le sigh.
I grudgingly accept that Lea is quite talented, blah blah blah, but she's just about the last actress I think of when I think of SOA, don't you agree? But I suppose this will really be the test of her acting range. Do you think Lea can pull off such a gritty role on such a bad ass series? Or will SAMCRO chew her up and spit her back to Lima, Ohio?

Not one among the legions of pro- and antiwar hooting senators could find the time.
Tensions have boiled since, with pro- and anti-Morsi crowds occasionally clashing violently.
It will be the first time that pro- and anti-government demonstrations will be going head-to-head since last summer.
word-forming element meaning "forward, forth, toward the front" (e.g. proclaim, proceed); "beforehand, in advance" (prohibit, provide); "taking care of" (procure); "in place of, on behalf of" (proconsul, pronoun); from Latin pro "on behalf of, in place of, before, for, in exchange for, just as," which also was used as a prefix.
Also in some cases from cognate Greek pro "before, in front of, sooner," which also was used in Greek as a prefix (e.g. problem). Both the Latin and Greek words are from PIE *pro- (cf. Sanskrit pra- "before, forward, forth;" Gothic faura "before," Old English fore "before, for, on account of," fram "forward, from;" Old Irish roar "enough"), extended form of root *per- (1) "forward, through" (see per).
The common modern sense "in favor of, favoring" (e.g. pro-independence, pro-fluoridation, pro-Soviet) was not in classical Latin and is attested in English from early 19c.

We trust that you and your student are eagerly anticipating your first year at Northwestern University. You may also have questions about student accounts, billing, payments, financial aid and student loans. Our Student Financial Services counselors are available to address your concerns from 8:30am to 5:00pm (CST) Monday through Friday. Although we will be your primary contact for general financial inquiries, we may occasionally refer you to the Office of Undergraduate Financial Aid, the Student Loan Office, the Office of Student Accounts or another department to provide you with best possible service.
As you may already be aware, your student will receive an email notification (at their official Northwestern University email address) by August 11th once their Fall quarter invoice is available on CAESAR, Northwestern's online student system. The statement will provide an itemized list of the Fall quarter charges (tuition, fees, room & board) and credits (deposits/payments). The amount you are responsible to pay by September 1st is the "Adjusted Balance Due."
If your student is receiving financial aid, the invoice will also list as "Anticipated Aid" the Fall quarter credits for any expected grants, scholarships or loans. (Note: Federal Work Study will not appear on the invoice because these funds are paid directly to the student as they are earned.) You do not need to pay the amount that is covered by "Anticipated Aid."
Northwestern's Student Financial Regulations (Evanston Handbook) may be accessed as a PDF. If your student has not yet provided you with "Guest Access" to CAESAR, here are detailed instructions.
When the first tuition invoices are issued we will do our utmost to accommodate the high volume of phone calls and emails we receive in response. However, there may be delays in addressing your inquiries. We ask for your patience and assure you that there will be time to correct any billing discrepancies.
We look forward to working with you during the coming academic year.
Best regards,
Student Financial Services

Aligning Faculty Reward Systems and Development to Promote Faculty & Student Growth.
Journal by O'Meara, KerryAnn; Braskamp, Larry. 223-240 Pages
Status: In
How can higher education inspire and reinforce greater faculty involvement in the life of the "whole student" given current constraints on and expectations for faculty work? Research from two recent national surveys of chief academic officers on faculty work sheds light on this question by highlighting current faculty employment conditions and expectations. Additional recent research is reviewed to link faculty expectations with student growth. Implications for faculty development that will best serve student needs are explored. (Contains 3 tables.)

The pulse-pounding conclusion to the HATER trilogy!
The war that has torn the human race apart is finally nearing its end. With most towns and cities now uninhabitable, and with the country in the grip of a savage nuclear winter, both Hater and Unchanged alike struggle to survive.
Hundreds of Hater fighters have settled on the East Coast in the abandoned remains of a relatively undamaged town under the command of Hinchcliffe---who'll stop at nothing to eradicate the last few Unchanged and consolidate his position at the top of this new world order. This fledgling society is harsh and unforgiving---your place in the ranks is decided by how long and how hard you're prepared to fight.
Danny McCoyne is the exception to the rule. His ability to hold the Hate and to use it to hunt out the remaining Unchanged has given him a unique position in Hinchcliffe's army of fighters. As the enemy's numbers reduce, so the pressure on McCoyne increases, until he finds himself at the very center of a pivotal confrontation, the outcome of which will have repercussions on the future of everyone who is left alive.
David Moody is the author of Hater, Dog Blood, Autumn and Autumn: The City. He grew up in Birmingham, England, on a diet of horror movies and post-apocalyptic fiction. He started his career working at a bank, but then decided to write the kind of fiction he loved. His first novel, Straight to You, had what Moody calls "microscopic sales," and so when he wrote Autumn, he decided to publish it online. The book became a sensation and has been downloaded by half a million readers. He started his own publishing company, Infected Books. He lives in Britain with his wife and a houseful of daughters, which may explain his preoccupation with Armageddon.

The ink on the surrender papers wasent dry before the army started getting rid of 1/2 tons. apperantly a company bought a mess of open cab pickups, and converted them to closed cab. then resold them on the civilian markett, which causes all kinds of confusion today. the main differances between a civilian cab, and a military cab are
The above is generally correct, but not complete.
Uncle Sam did buy 4 x 2 trucks which were both civilian trucks overpainted, and militarised civilian (WC3x and WC4x) all of these had closed cabs with the window winders and so on, and all were military.
The closed cab rear window screen is an example of something that was an option on civilian trucks, but standard on military trucks (another example is an external engine oil filter) Thus any military truck will have the four mounting points for the screen, but just because it has those points it doesn't have to be military.

Not saying that rumor isn't true, but Bowden is horrible.
When I was released, a lot of my friends were like, I guess you are probably going to go to the Patriots to play with Tom Brady, and I'm like 'you all must not know about that kid down in Indy. Andre Johnson said of Andrew Luck
|Sponsored Links
I don't see why the Rays would want Morse he can only reall play one position and thats 1st base and they just signed James Loney for 1st base.
I'm not a Bowden fan from his time in DC, but I do believe he has a good relationship with some of the people still there and Rizzo. So maybe, just maybe, he knows about something.
But why would they need Espinosa do they not have a 2nd baseman?
|Sponsored Links
The only knock i have on Espinosa is he strikeout far too much
Aj Griffin+ Ynoa and prospect to Rangers and A's get Andrus. Don't doubt Billy Beane.
I also think Swisher To Phillies or giants
Scutaro would be a perfect fit for the Yankees can play ss until Jeter is ready and can play all infield positions.
Frank Wren is walking out of that hotel with two Uptons playing for his team. Unfortunately, one of them will not be Kate Upton.
"Patterned grid world
It waits for you and it has always
Been there from the start"
Plus another 4 prospects/and or someone like chad billingleysOriginally Posted by DodgerBlue8188:24553270
Well day 1 of the winter meetings is upon us what will we see today a big signing? a trade of massive proportions? or will we see nothing
I feel like Upton is going to get traded to Atlanta
Dickey will get traded somewhere
Myers will get traded
Cubs will make a big move no sees coming.

The Florida Department of Health in Volusia County announced that temporary payment has been authorized for Medicaid recipients who are pregnant and age 21 and older. This step is being taken due to the increased impact that influenza infections are having on pregnant women and their babies in Florida.
The Medicaid reimbursement rate will be the same rate for those vaccines that are covered for Medicaid recipients between the ages of 18-20, and will be through March 31, 2014.
"The flu vaccine is the single best way to prevent flu and it is very important for pregnant women to receive the influenza vaccination," said Dr. Bonnie J. Sorensen, director of the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County. "We want to make sure that people are aware of this new opportunity for pregnant women to receive flu vaccination through Medicaid reimbursement."
Safe for mom, baby
The Department of Health in Volusia County recommends that all individuals six months of age and older receive the flu vaccination each year. It is especially important for pregnant women to be vaccinated due to the increased risk of complications associated with contracting the flu while pregnant.
The flu vaccination is safe and will protect the mother, the unborn child, and will also help protect babies during the first months after birth.
Additional flu prevention steps include washing your hands often, keeping your hands away from your face and covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing and coughing.
Flu symptoms
Symptoms of the flu include headache, fever, severe cough, runny nose or body aches. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, see your primary care provider immediately for guidance on treatment.
Flu vaccines are offered in many locations, including doctor's offices, clinics, health departments, retail stores, pharmacies, health centers, and by many employers and schools.
For more information on pregnancy and the flu, visit http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/pregnant.htm. For more local information, visit http://www.floridahealth.gov/prevention-safety-and-wellness/flu-prevention/locate-a-flu-shot.html.

ALOE VERA NOURISHMENT, HEALING, AND PREVENTION OF DISEASE: Numerous scientific studies at universities and colleges have shown that the Aloe vera plant is loaded with a myriad of nutrients (i.e. a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids) which all together help prevent all sorts of disease and to heal disease (i.e. high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, etc.). Drinking aloe vera juice (a whole food) daily is one of the most nutritious things you can do for your body. If you have a condition, take 12 oz. daily and see what the result is after 6 months. Aloe vera isn't just for topical use on skin!
Read my popular Internet article, CHEMOTHERAPY SUCCESS WITH ALOE VERA! This is a must read article for all those diagnosed with cancer or who have a loved one who is. Just google the title to access the article. There are properties in aloe vera that greatly strengthen the immune system and help protect the immune system and healthy cells from being destroyed by chemo and radiation. The result is that (when taking aloe vera juice duing chemo/radiation) the cancer cells are destroyed while the immune system and more of the healthy cells survive. The properties in aloe vera also help chemo/radiation patients suffer a lot less side effects from the chemo/radiation treatments.
As a daily routine for good health, adults should take at least 8 oz. of aloe vera juice daily, and children should take at least 4 oz. daily. And, yes, you can give your pets this too. Pour a couple of tablespoons daily in their water dish.
