The inventor claims the benefit of the filing date of provisional application Ser. No. 60/108,341 filed Nov. 13, 1998.
This invention relates to methods for transdermal drug administration. More particularly, but without limitation thereto, this invention provides a greater degree of freedom in transdermal drug delivery regimens whereby transdermal drug delivery devices may be removed and subsequently reapplied to the same or other areas of non-scrotal skin.
The transdermal route of parenteral drug delivery provides many advantages over other administrative routes. Transdermal devices for delivering a wide variety of drugs or other beneficial agents are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,598,122; 3,598,123; 3,731,683; 3,797,494; 4,031,894; 4,201,211; 4,286,592; 4,314,557; 4,379,454; 4,435,180; 4,559,222; 4,568,343; 4,588,580; 4,645,502; 4,698,062; 4,704,282; 4,725,272; 4,725,439; 4,781,924; 4,788,062; 4,816,258; 4,849,226; 4,867,982; 4,904,475; 4,908,027; 4,917,895; 4,938,759; 4,943,435; 5,004,610; 5,411,740;5,635,203, and 5,827,530 which are hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference.
One problem associated with many adhesive transdermal drug delivery devices of the prior art is that they often loose their adhesive properties and loosen or fall off before the predetermined drug administration period was completed. To deal with this problem, some products were sold with adhesive overlays that could be applied on top of the device and extending beyond its original borders to keep the device in place for the remainder of the administration period. Another common approach to resolution of this problem was to use adhesives which were highly aggressive, i.e., as close to being painful to remove as possible without actually being too painful. Removal of such systems resulted in damage to the adhesive surface which made them unsuitable for reapplication.
On the other end of the spectrum, transdermal delivery devices such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,704,282; 4,725,439 and 4,867,982 noted above have been designed to be applied to sensitive skin sites such as the scrotum or breast. These devices have non-adhesive skin contacting surfaces that have a low level of tack in order to allow them to non-adhesively cling to the skin. Testoderm� transdermal testosterone represents this type of product and users were instructed that it could be removed while showering or swimming, for example, and then replaced. An improved version of Testoderm�, Testoderm� with adhesive, had thin stripes of polyisobutylene adhesive applied to about 12% of the surface of the device to assist in maintaining the device on the scrotum and this product could also be removed and replaced in the same manner as the original Testoderm� product. Neither of these products, however, could be used on non-scrotal skin.
Another attempt to overcome the re-adhesion problems is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.4,911,916, hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference. The device disclosed therein includes a means to restore the adhesiveness of the skin contacting surface of the device after removal from the skin. This was accomplished by adding a sufficient amount of the pressure sensitive adhesive to the drug reservoir whereby any adhesive left on the surface of the skin upon removal of the device would be replaced by adhesive diffusing from the drug reservoir to the skin contacting surface such that the device could then be replaced or repositioned on the skin without significant loss of adhesion.
The ability to remove and to reapply a transdermal drug delivery device makes it more convenient to extend the functional life of the device as shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,827,530. Instead of being refilled while still on the patient, the device can be removed, refilled and replaced.
Various adhesives are known to the art for maintaining transdermal drug delivery devices in drug transmitting relationship with the skin or mucosa as disclosed in the above patents. Such adhesives may be formed from both cross-linked and non-crosslinked polymers including, for example, acrylates, silicones, polyurethanes, styrene-butadiene block polymers, and polyisobutylene (PIB) polymers and mixtures of the above.
It is known to provide non-crosslinked polyisobutylene (PIB) adhesives as a mixture of high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW) PIBs with or without a plasticizer such as mineral oil or polybutene. In such formulations, the HMW PIB acts as an adhesive base, the LMW PIB acts as a tackifier, and a plasticizer, if present, acts to plasticize the adhesive to increase permeability of the adhesive to the drug and to modify the adhesive properties. Typical plasticizers include mineral oil, polybutene, and in some cases, such as with nicotine, the drug itself. A typical formulation of the prior art uses HMW PIB of 1.2M molecular weight LMW PIB of 35,000 molecular weight and plasticizer in a ratio of about 1:1.125:2.
It is also known to include additional tackifiers, if desired, to improve adhesive characteristics of such adhesives. PIB adhesives comprising a mixture of high, medium, and/or low molecular weight PIB's are disclosed in European Patent 0374980 and in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,031,894, 4,559,222, 4,938,759, 5,312,627, and 5,508,038. PIB adhesive blends with butyl rubber or styrene radial or block type copolymers are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,551,490 and 5,059,189. The above patents are hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference.
As used herein, the term "drug" is to be construed in its broadest sense to an any material which is intended to produce some biological, beneficial, therapeutic, or other intended effect, such as permeation enhancement, for example, on the organism to which it is applied.
As used herein, LMW PIB, refers to a PIB having a molecular weight within the range of 1,000-450,000 and HMW PIB refers to a PIB having a molecular weight within the range of 450,000-2,000,000.
As used herein, the term "predetermined administration period" refers to the period of time the transdermal delivery delay is designed to be maintained in contact with the skin of a patient to produce the desired therapeutic effect and is usually specified in the prescribing information supplied with the product.
As used herein, the term "transdermal" refers to the use of skin as a portal for the administration of drugs by topical application of the drug thereto.
According to this invention it has been discovered that transdermal drug delivery devices comprising adhesive formulations having certain adhesive properties can be successfully applied to, removed from and thereafter reapplied to non-scrotal skin without seriously degrading the adhesive properties after being removed.
Adhesive transdermal drug delivery devices may be removed and subsequently reapplied to an area of skin if the adhesive has an initial adhesive/skin bond strength sufficient to maintain said transdermal drug delivery device on the skin to which it is applied for the entire predetermined administration period; and an adhesive/skin bond strength upon replacement on the skin after removal therefrom prior to the end, if the predetermined administration period, which is adequate to retain the device on the skin for the balance of the administration period.
Accordingly, this invention relates to methods for the transdermal administration of a drug for a predetermined administration period wherein a transdermal delivery device is applied to non-scrotal skin, removed prior to the expiration of said administration period and thereafter reapplied for the balance of said administration period.
These and other aspects of the invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art in view of the detailed description that follows.
I have found that certain transdermal adhesive formulations can be tailored such that they provide: (a) an adhesive/skin bond strength sufficient to maintain a transdermal drug delivery device on non-scrotal skin for the entire predetermined drug administration period; and (b) when removed from the skin prior to expiration of said time period and then replaced on the skin, an adhesive/skin bond strength sufficient to maintain the device on the skin for the balance of the predetermined time period.
The use of such adhesives makes it possible to interrupt the transdermal administration of drugs through non-scrotal skin one or more times by enabling the device to be applied to the skin, removed and thereafter reapplied to non-scrotal skin.
I believe that the decrease in adhesiveness observed when transdermal systems of the prior art were removed from and replaced on non-scrotal skin can be attributed to: (1) delamination of the device because the adhesive/skin bond strength is greater than (a) the cohesive strength of the adhesive itself or (b) the bond strength between the adhesive and an adjacent layer in the device; or (2) the adhesive/skin bond strength is higher than the cohesive strength of the skin such that a significant portion of the adhesive surface is contaminated with skin debris.
The strength of the adhesive/skin bond can be determined using an Instron� meter to measure the force of removal as is known to the art. The bond strength should be measured at least 20 minutes after application in order to allow for full bond strength to develop. I have determined that adhesives having adhesive/skin bond strengths of about 195 gm/cm when so measured are not suitable for use in transdermal devices that are to be removed and reapplied because substantially no bond strength is retained upon reapplication. I have also determined that adhesives having adhesive/skin bond strengths of about 95 gm/cm, which have adequate bond strength to be maintained on the skin for at least 24 hours, can be removed and reapplied with substantially no decrease in bond strength upon reapplication. Adhesives suitable for reapplication typically retain an adhesive/skin bond strength upon replacement on the skin after removal therefrom which is no less than 72% and preferably no less than 85% of the initial adhesive/skin bond strength.
I believe, without being limited thereto, that the surface characteristics of non-crosslinked adhesives, such as PIB adhesives, allows the material forming the adhesive surface to flow on a microscopic scale to a greater extent than crosslinked adhesives. This would allow for a greater degree of self-repair for damage that may be sustained by the adhesive surface when it is removed from the skin. Accordingly, non-cross-linked adhesives, and the PIB adhesives particularly, are preferred embodiments of this invention. However, great flexibility exists in the tailoring of the adhesive properties of all types of adhesives, including cross-linked adhesives, and the use of such cross-linked adhesives, typically the acrylate and silicone based adhesives commonly used in the transdermal drug delivery art, is within the scope of this invention, provided their adhesive properties are adjusted as defined above.
When transdermal drug delivery devices use adhesive formulations having the characteristics of this invention, the user can remove the device from non-scrotal skin when engaged in certain activities such as swimming, bathing, sun tanning or other activities in which, for one reason or another, it is desired to remove the device prior to the expiration of the entire predetermined drug administration period and then reapply the device to the same, or preferably a different skin site for the remaining useful life of the device. This has proven to be a desirable feature of a commercial product according to this invention, Testoderm TTS� which was introduced in the United States by the assignee in February 1998.
The predetermined administration periods typically vary from 16-24 hours to one week depending on the drug being administered. For example, nicotine and nitroglycerin devices are typically applied for 16-24 hours; hormone replacement, fentanyl and scopolamine are typically applied for periods in the 1-3 day range, and clonidine is applied for one week.
PIB adhesives suitable for use with this invention are known in the art as disclosed in the above cited patents. Preferably, the adhesive comprises a plasticizer such as mineral oil or polybutene, preferably in an amount ranging from 35-65 wt %. In some cases a plasticizer will not be necessary, such as when a low molecular weight PIB (1000-15000 MW) is used, or when the drug itself plasticizes the adhesive mixture.
A transdermal device usable according to this invention is disclosed in commonly owned, copending application Ser. No. 08/886,960, herein incorporated in its entirety by reference. As disclosed therein, the adhesive can be a mixture of HMW PIB/LMW PIB/Plasticizer in a ratio of 0.75-1.25/1-1.5/1.5-2.5, most preferably 1/1.25/2. The adhesive characteristics of the PIB mixture can be adjusted by varying the HMW/LMW plasticizer ratio as well as by the use of various tackifiers and other additives as is known to the art.
Also, small amounts of styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymers or polybutene grafted acrylate adhesives (PGM) can be added to the PIB adhesive formulation. Such a PIS adhesive according to this aspect of the invention would also comprise 0-15% isoprene rubber or PGAA, 2-50% rosin tackifier, 0-50% plasticizer such as mineral oil or polybutene, with the balance of the adhesive comprising a HMW PIB, LMW PIB or mixtures thereof.
The surface area of devices according to this invention can vary from about 5 cm2 to about 75 cm2. A typical device, however, will have a surface area within the range of about 20-60 cm2. A typical transdermal device according to this invention is conveniently fabricated as generally elliptical or rectangular patch with rounded corners to reduce waste.
Such drug delivery devices may also contain other permeation enhancers, stabilizers, dyes, diluents, pigments, carriers, inert fillers, antioxidants, excipients, gelling agents, anti-irritants, vasoconstrictors, as are known to the art.
According to one embodiment of a transdermal drug delivery device usable with this invention, the drug reservoir comprise 10-30 wt % drug and 68-80 wt % of an ethanol gel comprising 75-95% ethanol, 1-2 wt % of a gelling agent such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, and the remainder water; the rate control membrane comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer having a vinyl VA content of 5-30 wt %, preferably 9-18%; and the adhesive comprises a PIB mixture comprising HMW PIB/LMW PIB/mineral oil in a ratio of 0.75-1.25/1-1.5/1.5-2.5, most preferably 1/1.25/2.
The aforementioned patents describe a wide variety of materials which can be used for fabricating the various layers and components of drug delivery devices usable according to this invention. This invention, therefore, contemplates the use of materials other than those specifically disclosed herein, including those which may hereafter become known to the art and to be capable of performing the necessary functions.
The following Examples are offered to illustrate the practice of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Whether any particular adhesive formulation possesses the properties required according to this invention can be readily determined by following the simple procedure set forth in Example II.
Testoderm� TTS transdermal delivery systems for the administration of testosterone over 24 hours through non-scrotal skin were made as follows. A reservoir gel comprising 26 wt % testosterone, 1-2 wt % hydroxypropyl cellulose, and the remainder 95% ethanol was prepared by mixing testosterone, 95% ethanol and adding hydroxypropyl cellulose with mixing. The testosterone gel loading was 21 mg/cm2.
A PIB adhesive composition was made by mixing HMW PIB (MW 1200000), LMW PIB (MW 35000) and light mineral oil in a weight ratio of 1:1.25:2. A 50 micron thick layer of the PIB adhesive was cast onto a 75 micron thick film of siliconized polyethylene terephthalate release liner. The adhesive side of the resulting two layer subassembly was laminated to a 50 micron thick film of EVA (9% VA). The gelled testosterone-ethanol mixture was placed on the EVA membrane. A backing member comprised of aluminized polyethylene terephthalate with an EVA heat sealable coating was laid over the gels and heat-sealed to the EVA copolymer using a rotary heat seal machine. Finished systems were punched from laminate using a circular punch and placed in sealed pouches to prevent loss of volatile components. The device has been applied to non-scrotal skin of patients and thereafter removed and replaced without measureable decrease in adhesive/skin bond strength, such that the device remained on non-scrotal skin for the balance of the 24 hour administration period.
A test sample of the PIB adhesive of Example I was obtained by removing the release liner and separating the EVA/PIB adhesive laminate from the backing member leaving a film of PIB adhesive on the EVA membrane. A silicone adhesive test sample was prepared by forming a film of H7-2292 amine resistant silicone adhesive available from Dow Corning on another 50 micron thick film of EVA (9% vinyl acetate).
Each EVA/adhesive strip was applied to the forearm of a subject. After a 20 minute dwell period, the strips were removed using an Instron machine to measure the force of removal. The force was approximately 95 gm/cm for the PIB adhesive and 195 gm/cm for the silicone adhesive.
The strips were then reapplied to the forearm of the subject. The silicone adhesive did not readhere to the subject while the PIB adhesive had approximately the same peel force upon subsequent removal (105 gm/cm). There was no evidence of delamination of the adhesive layer or contamination of the adhesive surface with the PIB adhesive sample whereas the adhesive properties of the silicone adhesive sample was essentially destroyed.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be affected within the scope and spirit of the invention.

A 'first' can be an emotional experience
They say we never forget our first.
In this sea of life, there will be buoys of a first lost tooth, first hit in baseball, first vehicle, first kiss and the first time you camped beneath the stars.
Some of us recall the first time we heard a wild turkey or the first time we saw a wild turkey waltz, as turkey's do, toward our calls. And some of us recall the first wild turkey we ever took during the magic time of spring.
For this writer, many accomplishments and firsts have occurred outdoors. My pedigree is no different than that of the next hunter, but I remember my first wild turkey the most.
I am now two years into a quest for my oldest son to shoot his first wild turkey. He actually shot at one two seasons ago, and last season we were close. This has been the most awkward of seasons, weather wise, for hunting wild turkeys.
Really, there is no pressure. He and his brother are content with waking early, and together we have enjoyed seeing the sunrise from places nestled among nature's rejuvenation.
Still, not a turkey has been convinced of our attempts. Yet we hunt. We try. And on empty-handed walks from the woods, where turkeys should have been much more cooperative, we celebrate the moment knowing we are filled in other ways.
One such morning recently, I retold the story of my first turkey and my two young hunters hung to every word. My boys are not yet a decade old, and I explained that I was somewhere near the middle of my third decade and had chased turkeys for three years, almost like chasing a ghost with feathers.
For those of you who recall my earlier turkey hunting days, you might recall me borrowing a saying by the late basketball coach Al McGuire: "The best thing about a freshman is that they become a sophomore."
My boys didn't really understand this. I said that was three years in a row, but I never gave up.
Like my own son, I had missed a turkey earlier that year. Some mornings were empty, and some mornings were really empty. Still, I kept the faith.
That spring of 2005, shooting my first turkey became something of a personal goal, much like my personal goal of calling my son his first wild turkey. My father had passed a few months before, and I was hunting for him though the turkeys were not cooperating.
Faith, purpose, reason, mourning and dedication combined together. Early one May morning, all of these emotions summoned a wild turkey from deep in the woods.
I remember seeing and hearing him come, and I recall the smile on my face and the heaviness in my throat.
I also recall how it felt to hold this bird in my hand a few moments later. It was my first bird, the culmination of many hours. It was also something more than a turkey.
An hour later, my knees were wet and muddy, my hand was trembling and I held the single feather, twisting it between my thumb and index finger.
Over the grave marker of my father, I said a few personal words and I released emotions that are even more personal to a boy when his father is now a memory.
The turkey feather pierced the ground in that hallowed moment.
These past few mornings, when I have sat with my son before leaving these places empty-handed, I think about a first turkey and a first moment.
I know that eventually the stars will align and all will be right in the world and even this forever freshman will coax a bird within range of my sons. I don't expect them to perform an act of remembrance or have a flood of emotions beyond what might be expected when a boy takes his first wild turkey.
Still, even when we walk out of the woods, the pursuit of a wild turkey never will be about pursuing a first wild turkey. It will be about preservation, remaining close and enjoying those empty mornings, knowing they fill us in other ways.
If I am so lucky, my sons will maintain the spirit of fullness despite the appearance that getting a first turkey is the reason we hunt. Just like I knew what to do with a feather, one day my sons will know what to do when they are lucky enough to take a first wild turkey, too.
If tradition becomes something we acknowledge and believe in, then maybe we will all dirty our knees and be filled by the moment.
Enjoy your time outdoors.

The diaphragm of an SMC macro takumar 100 1:4 was not engaging with the aperture dial, so I openned it to see what was wrong. I could not find anything wrong but, worse, I cannot actually put the lens back together again. Could you let me know whether
(i) there are instructions anywhere for reassembling a macro Takumar (I have just taken the lens assembly out of the focussing tube, I have not actually openned the lens assembly itself), and
(ii) if this is a repair that has to be done by professionals (e.g., you) how much would it cost?
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com

Neil Dinoy
I feel so abandoned,
When you left me alone.
So sad.. So sick..
I want to find you quick.
Even if I know you will never come back again ,
But in my heart your always been stayin'.
I don't want to have anything ,
Because of you I have everything.
But when you left me standing ,
I have now , NOTHING .
Tears in my eyes falling ,
And my heart is fast bleeding .
Remember me always and forever ,
And I will not erase our best memories , NEVER..!!

A Vision for Hearing
Rose Feilbach Broberg '34 herself had a hearing loss as a girl, inherited from her
mother, who was deaf. This is how she entered a career that occupied her for more than
30 years and took her across the United States in a decade when women did not habitually
travel by themselves. It was also responsible for the time she spent the night in a house
of ill repute.
That was in 1943, when she was on her way to become director of a hearing-impairment
agency in Portland, Oregon. She took a cross-country train called the Portland Rose, which
had a stop in Cœur d'Alene, Idaho. Her travel agent—"I never forgave
him"—had booked her into what was assumed to be a hotel. It wasn't. When
Rose figured that out, "I shoved my dresser up against the door," she says,
and did not sleep very well.
Then her mother had a series of strokes, and the Hearing Society
gave her a job in Washington, D.C., where she has lived for the rest of her life.
is now 93, and though she occasionally needs to have something repeated, she is still sharp
and funny. She and her husband, Ralph, who is 88, just moved from their house near Chain
Bridge, in McLean, Virginia, to an assisted living facility in Bailey's Crossroads,
at the west end of Arlington County, Virginia, where their sheets and towels are changed
weekly and they can enjoy a library, crafts, chapel, and a very nice dining room. Their
daughter, Pam, lives in nearby Annandale with her husband and two teen-age children.
met Ralph because of a hearing loss, also. He had a hearing impairment from birth, which
steadily worsened, and he came to the Washington Speech and Hearing Center, where she worked,
when he moved from Berwyn, Illinois, outside Chicago, to the D.C. area. (Ralph spent his
32 working years as an aeronautical engineer with the Department of the Navy.) "Women
by and large get a hearing aid when it's necessary," Rose says. "Men
had to be sold on it." She got him to take lip-reading lessons through the society,
and eventually they married.
After Rose graduated from Moravian College for Women in 1934,
she got the first scholarship in special education given at Columbia University. She spent
a year studying at Columbia Teacher's College and at the Nitchie School of Lip-Reading.
In the long struggle between adherents of lip-reading and adherents of American Sign Language
as communication assistance for the deaf, Rose is firmly on the side of lip-reading. "I
taught the hard-of-hearing, not the deaf," she says. "With lip-reading, you
use your speech. With signing, you lose your speech."
After working for nonprofit
assistance agencies for the hearing-impaired in New York and Washington, Rose moved out
to Arlington in 1950 and became staff audiologist and lip-reading specialist for the Arlington
County public schools. Each week she visited all 52 elementary and secondary schools in
the system, evaluated the students, and taught lip-reading. She also designed a televised
series of lip-reading
lessons and wrote several workbooks of lip-reading exercises.
She was a well-known practitioner
in the field. "At one time, I was president of
everything," she says. She keeps scrapbooks and clippings of the newspaper and magazine
articles written about her and her contributions to the field of deaf education.
was a pioneer," she says calmly. "Women didn't do that in those
"My wife," says Ralph, "has had a more significant life
that I have."

Keep your rental commercial properties occupied. You are responsible for the expenses associated with keeping your unoccupied spaces updated and maintained. Figure out why you have spaces that are consistently open. In some cases, you might need to do some problem-solving so that tenants will want to rent these spaces. Make sure you have enough cash flow available for you from family, friends and any professional lenders accessible to you. Make contracts so you can pay the loans with a fixed rate, or hand them a portion of your property income.
Look for a broker firm that is honest. Start by asking them about how their money is made. Their answer should be discussed openly. You need to know if their money-making priorities are going to trump your real estate needs.

Why Go to Therapy When you Can Go to Karaoke?
Is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" one of the worst karaoke songs, or is it the worst karaoke song? -- The One to Walk in the Sun
Oy. I wouldn't call it the worst karaoke song; some people can sing it pretty darn well. But when eight ladies in a bachelorette party drunkenly clop up to the mic to perform it while waving their pink feather boas, yeah, I pretty much want to die.
Why do you do it? I mean, there are a million other things you could do with your time, like writing a novel or learning to juggle or, heck, going to a karaoke bar to actually sing? What makes being a host worthwhile? -- Once More, With Feeling
Who's to say I'm not writing a novel or juggling? I typically host karaoke only once a week (plus some special events and parties), so I fill the rest of my time with my regular profession, going to concerts and researching pageants that my cat may be able to enter and win.
But obviously karaoke has become quite important to me. I've always enjoyed singing, though my voice is merely adequate instead of spectacular. I was the six-year-old urchin who pushed her way into a solo during the Vacation Bible School recital. When Rock Band came out, I gladly kept the mic while my friends were content to flick buttons on plastic guitars. I regularly waste gasoline driving and singing for hours at a time, and my brain focuses more on making playlists and music videos than it does figuring out ways to keep my car out of impound. Basically, I want to turn my life into "Glee," but without the dumb Rachel Berry singing faces.
Karaoke is a way to channel all of that and more. As I've karaoked with friends over the years, I've leveled up in confidence, engagement, silliness and peace. That last one is important. For me, karaoke has turned into a form of therapy, a way to lyrically barf out the feelings that I can't simply talk about. In love? Performing Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine" hits the spot. Break up? Out comes "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. General surliness? I've got a 90s grunge songlist a mile long.
And once I became a karaoke host, I realized that I could play a small part in contributing to others' emotions and well-being. I can read a room and decide if I need to raise the party level with One Direction (shudder) or indulge folks in their collective melancholy with some Smiths. I can help a newbie gain confidence and incrementally blossom until they rock Europe's "The Final Countdown" without fail or fear. I can comfort a regular with some selections from Peggy Lee, his late wife's favorite. And I can throw karaoke parties that bring ten former high school cliques together to sing "Party in the U.S.A."
It may sound ridiculous, but this is all powerful stuff for me. I'm a big believer in using The Force. It's just that sometimes The Force happens to be song instead of a way to blow up the Death Star.
As a Friday-night karaoke host at a South County bar, Allison Babka receives her share of drunken song dedications, occasionally makes people cry and even has been glorified by a singing psychic. She's considering adding "Call Me Maybe" to her personal karaoke repertoire, and she hates herself for it. Bug her with karaoke nonsense on Twitter at @ambabka, and use #rftkaraoke.

This course examines globalization and health care in Latin American countries with comparison to the US. Students will focus on an understanding of the Latin American social determinants of health, social justice and efforts for equitable health care. Students will also explore and analyze a variety of health promotion interventions, strategies and tactics in the context of cultural relevance and appropriateness. The areas of particular emphasis will be the top five public health issues in Latin America today: reproductive health, nutrition, population dynamics, environmental issues, peace and conflict resolutions.
This course begins by providing an overview of the roll of legislation, regulation, innovation, and related policy in public health. We will examine how policy and regulation both encourage and discourage health innovation. We will describe how such regulations and policies are developed and how they work in practice.
This course is a comprehensive analysis of the healthcare delivery system. Component studies include: local, state, and federal direct care regulatory agencies; nonprofit organizations promoting health and/or providing services; health planning and coordinating bodies at various levels; accrediting agencies for healthcare facilities; and organizations representing healthcare consumers. Formal, informal, financial, and political relationships between and among these components are highlighted. Regional patterns of healthcare delivery as well as trends, problems, and potential solutions are examined. Consideration of differences between the U.S. system and the systems in other regions of the world are also discussed.
In this course, lectures and laboratory exercises acquaint the student with the basic concepts of biostatistics and their applications and interpretations in public health. Topics include descriptive statistics, graphics, diagnostic tests, probability distributions, reference, and tests of significance, association, linear and logistic regression, life tables, and survival analysis.
General core course provided for Master's of Public Health (MPH) students introducing concepts, strategies and perspectives of epidemiology to be used in public health practice and administration.
This core course provides a practical introduction to the contribution of social and behavioral sciences to the distribution, etiology and solution of public health problems. The methods and theories used for interventions to promote health in individuals, groups and committees will be examined including their application in creating, communicating and advocating for social change.
This course examines women's health across the lifespan via a lifeworld perspective. A lifeworld perspective examines how a woman is historically, culturally, politically, economically, and socially situated in the immediate world she is a part of and how each of these influence and determine the choices she will have, and ultimately impact her health and well-being. The course aims to prepare the public health practitioner to interpret these factors along with the epidemiological factors, and apply them in developing interventions, programs, and policies to improve overall quality of life for women from adolescence to old age.
This core course will focus on preparing students to develop entry-level competencies in public health management, leadership and administration. Topics will include leadership, mission and vision definition, quality improvement, strategic planning and marketing, and other emerging topics necessary for the effective delivery and administration of public health services.
This course is designed to introduce the student to a wide range of issues where human health is related to the environment. Public health issues related to air, water, food, and soil will be examined. Occupational health issues and the unique exposures that workers will be explored. The basic framework for environmental and occupational policies in the U.S. will be reviewed.
This course will cover theories, principles and strategies of community-based participatory research (CBPR), and understanding of CBPR's advantages and limitations, an appreciation of the ethics of CBPR, and the necessary skills for taking part in CBPR projects.
In this course students learned that the law can be utilized to promote, or impede, proposed public health interventions at the local, state, and federal level. In this course, students develop a more nuanced appreciation of the relationship between law and public health, and practical skills in research and drafting public health legislation. Students will scrutinize the issues from the perspective of three different theories of contemporary public health law; as well as local ordinances.
An interdisciplinary approach to understanding the ethical, political and legal dimensions to promoting and protecting the public's health. Examines the fundamental relationship of public health with social justice and the roles of public policy and law in promoting public health.
Principles of formal program planning, evaluation and research methods in health care. Topics include the nature of evaluation, formulation of hypotheses, the role of evaluation in the program life cycle, evaluation research designs, the application of particular designs to selected problems in health care, relationship of statistical processes to specific evaluation designs, sampling, culturally appropriate qualitative and quantitative research methods, data collection and analysis and interpretation of findings.
Students undertake an individually defined experience of 300 hours related to their identified MPH concentration. This internship culminates in a self-assessment on all of the MPH program competencies.
Serves as a culminating synthesis experience in which students are expected to apply knowledge gained from their graduate experience. The course is designed to provide a final experience in which students demonstrate mastery of content and allow an opportunity for closure and connection between courses. The purpose of this capstone course is to facilitate the integration and synthesis of content through critical thinking; it is also a turning point for the student from education to professional practice.
This course will address disparities and sociocultural barriers to mental health issues in the community and how this population is treated. It will also focus on the development and application of cultural competence in public mental health practice.
This course addresses the intersection of sexual behavior, sexuality, public health, and human rights. Also addressed are issues related to sexual health and health policy. The scope of the subject matter will range from an analysis of local San Francisco policies to issues of global sexual health concern.
This course is designed to build on the MPH graduate student's knowledge of basic statistical techniques used in public health research. The focus of this course will be in using and applying associated statistical software packages to analyze data. Survey data will also be discussed.
This course introduces students to global health policy and focuses particularly on issues at the intersection of policy, international law, and epidemiology, exploring pressing issues in governance, trade, human rights, and social determinants of health. Students examine the distinct conceptual frameworks that can be employed to critically examine a global health problem; and apply those frameworks to identify multiple points of intervention across the lifespan to reduce morbidity and mortality among affected populations. Students learn skills to conduct research in global health policy, and develop skills in presenting their research. This course is geared towards graduate students in public health and nursing who ideally have some prior training in international health affairs, law, or public policy.
This introductory course provides an overview of the field of global health with a focus on the least developed countries. The student will gain an understanding of the distribution of the global disease burden and how it is measured, the key players in global health, the need for a multispectral approach to global health problems, and an understanding of the characteristics of successful health interventions.
This will be a survey course on the public health implications of agricultural processes; farm policies; food safety; food distribution and equity (including government sponsored nutrition programs); and emerging issues in food and agriculture.
This course provides a macro systems approach and an overview of health economics as it relates to public health. Course materials will touch on some fundamental components of the field and most importantly, demonstrate why economics is inseparable from public health.
This course allows students to plan, create, demonstrate and document mobile applications that address specified public health needs. Students will develop prototypes or final products using mobile application development software. Principles of planning, evidence-based design and evaluation are emphasized. The course reinforces the importance of writing skills for professional dissemination and for documentation of public health mobile application technology.
Students will acquire skills for their public health "tool box" which will include the basic elements of organizing and the specific skills of how to convene a focus group, facilitate meetings, give testimony, identify and develop true community partnerships, work with the media (including convene a press conference), and do research with grassroots communities in a collaborative and respectful manner.
This elective course will prepare students working in health care to respond with sensitivity to the needs and preferences that culturally and linguistically diverse patients/consumers bring to the health encounter. Students will learn strategies to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS), so that access to care, to quality of care, and, ultimately, health outcomes may be improved. This course is a prerequisite to MPH694, for non-credit only.

Students will learn strategies to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS), so that access to care, to quality of care, and, ultimately, health outcomes may be improved. Students may take this class for credit if not planning to take MPH694 the following semester.
This elective clinical course affords the opportunity to apply knowledge and understanding of the impact of socioeconomic and political influences on the health and well-being of individuals and communities in a "low resource setting". Students will participate in an immersion learning program in which they will live and work in a culture different from their own. Students will experience first hand the challenges or providing high quality, cultural competent health care in clinical environments with sub optimum resources. Linguistic preparation that will begin in prerequisite course will continue during the immersion through structured lessons in the language of the specific geographical area.

Releana Review
What You Should Know
Releana is a weight loss product created by Millenium Medical Spa. The Releana product is the primary product promoted by the company. The official website offers contact information on the product as well as an ingredient list.
List of Ingredients
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin
Product Features
Releana contains HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin. This hormone is the same hormone that is measured during a pregnancy test to establish how far along the pregnancy is. The fetus release HCG into the blood stream and urinary tract soon after conception.
There are clinical studies referenced on the website, but these studies have little credibility in conjunction with the Releana product. One study focuses on the use of injected HCG instead of oral HCG. The other study offers no website link, but a document file that can be viewed. These types of files can be written by anyone with knowledge about clinical trials and thus offers no real information to the consumer.
The testimonials on the website are a positive addition. There are before and after photos as well as quoted testimonials from Releana users. The Releana program is more than just a supplement, it is a medical intervention for weight loss. The program must be started and continued through a clinic that offers the Releana diet. The diet includes a program of exercise and a reduced calorie diet. According to the information on
the website, some users of Releana also choose to take appetite suppressants while on the diet and these are given at an extra cost to the dieter.
There are no prices listed for the Releana program. There are, however, prices listed for the appetite suppressants and the blood work that must be completed before the Releana diet can be started. The appetite suppressants cost $110 for a one month supply and the blood work $75.
- There is an official website for Releana.
- Testimonials are provided on the website.
- Contact information is listed for pricing and questions.
- The clinical studies are either lacking professionalism or irrelevant.
- The program is an in house program and can be very costly.
- The dieter is required to come back to the clinic for several visits and weigh ins.
We cannot support the use of Releana for weight loss at this time. The product just does not offer real clinical evidence that the hormone works to increase weight loss. This added to the fact that a weight loss diet and exercise program are probably the source of the weight loss, makes this product a waste of money. Consumers wishing to lose weight can choose a fat burner and appetite suppressant for far less than the $110 listed on the website (appetite suppressant only). These products are offered with clinical trials to back up their effectiveness.

An Alabama-based singer/songwriter is suing Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City's Adam Young over allegations of copyright infringement.
Allyson Nichole Burnett has filed documents in California claiming the pair's hit "Good Time" copies the "unique vocal motif" and hook of her 2010 tune "Ah, It's a Love Song," which was featured on her album "The Takeover." In her lawsuit, Burnett states that "many consumers may incorrectly assume that Burnett copied her own original motif from the infringing songwriters due to the widespread popularity and publication of 'Good Time.'"
She maintains her reputation as an independent artist will be "significantly damaged by such incorrect assumptions." Burnett also claims she has suffered "emotional and psychological damage" from fans asking why she copied the Jepsen-Owl City hit. She is also suing Universal Music Group, Songs Music Publishing and Schoolboy Records, according to Billboard.com.

We went to Ristorante Saturday night. We thought the food was wonderful. We had a fabulous pasta. We had lamb chops & Artic Char. Wine was excellent. So was dessert. We found the crowd to be mixed. Young & older alike. The restaurant is beautiful. We will be back.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/23/2014
It's extremely expensive for very small portions of food, some which hit the mark and others that fell short. The service was just ok, except when it came to pouring and pushing the wine, then they were very attentive. As a matter of fact, about three different people showed up to the table to push and pour. They weren't trying to provide good service, rather the sense we had was that they were trying to sell expensive bottles of wine simply because that was the only time servers showed up. It was a turn off. The crowd is old, uptight and mean spirited. The service is stoic. There's better food, a better vibe and better service at a couple of his other outposts, but sorry to say because I had high hopes that this one needs improvement.

Updated: 2:50 p.m.
As the House debates repealing the 2010 health care law, influence groups on both sides of the issue have begun to weigh in. Here's a look at their arguments:
From the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
Now that the Supreme Court's historic decision erases any doubt that the federal government has the constitutional authority to expand and improve access to health services for millions of people who otherwise would be denied the care they need, it is time for policymakers to work together in a bipartisan way to make the ACA's promise of more affordable and accessible health care a reality for millions of Americans.
From the conservative Heritage Action for America:
Not only have premiums gone up, but the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reevaluated the cost of the bill and found that their initial estimate of $940 billion was woefully inaccurate, and that the true cost of the bill was at least $1.76 trillion (other estimates put that number even higher). ... Congress should repeal this law in its entirety to stop the spending, taxes, mandates and regulations from further crippling our economy.
From the Service Employees International Union:
Among the 9 million Hispanics who are at risk under the GOP's threat to repeal the Affordable Care Act are about 750,000 young Hispanics who would lose coverage under their parents' plans and almost 4 million elderly and disabled Hispanics who are now eligible for expanded preventive care under the act.
From the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which supports repeal:
Regrettably, the health care legislation approved by Congress and signed into law by President Obama in 2010 remains inconsistent with advancing a practical and meaningful solution to health care reform. The law does little to achieve one of the primary goals of health care reform: to "bend the health care cost curve downwards."
From the National Retail Federation:
While we support the repeal of the ACA, we also continue to work with regulators to ease and delay implementation until appropriate and necessary guidance is developed and issued.

HPEV's thermal dispersion technology transfers heat via heat pipes with unique capabilities. The heat pipes move heat in ANY direction (even against gravity) and require little or no maintenance. The cooler a motor runs, the greater its potential output.
Add heat pipes to almost any electric motor, generator or alternator and the result is a smaller, more efficient, higher output machine that runs cooler with a longer operating lifespan and lower maintenance costs that benefit manufacturers and end-users.
Consider the dry pit submersible water pump… HPEV delivers liquid-cooled, explosion proof results in a totally-enclosed package for continuous operation and unmatched power density. Plus, no water jacket, no over-framing, no effluent or closed-loop cooling, no additional pump, and no filters to remove contaminants.

Skip sugary frozen fruit drinks this summer, and try this chilly spin on the classic Negroni cocktail. More
In hot weather, you'll want to batch up this sophisticated frozen cocktail. More
Like Negronis? Fan of absinthe? Try mixing them together in this classic drink. More
Which is the best gin for a Negroni? I tested three basic types of gin: a junipery London dry style, a more floral style, and a Navy strength (114 proof, or 57% alcohol by volume). More
You've been thinking about a Negroni all day, but when you get home, you discover that you're all out of gin. Now what do you do? Comb the house for replacement ingredients. Here's our guide to substituting like a pro. More
Jeff Faile has crafted an evolving list of Negroni-inspired cocktails that occupies an entire page of Fiola's cocktail menu. Currently clocking in at six, the list includes a Negroni based on pisco, a clear version with Cocchi Americano and Dolin Blanc, and a richer one made with Barolo Chinato and Old Tom Gin. Each variation exposes new flavor possibilities for the drink. Lucky for you, we got the recipes for 4 favorites. More

Home Made Summer has a whole chapter devoted to drinks. This one is a drink dessert: a frozen Negroni with pieces of fig. Boozy and sweet, it's an ideal end to a summer meal. More
Hanging out at Empellón Cocina a few weeks ago, bar manager Mat Resler shared what I thought sounded like one of the most unlikely drinks I've ever heard: "The Negronifico." Translation? "Well, I was drinking a Negroni... and also a Pacifico... and then I had to leave the bar and I was half-done with my Negroni, so I dumped the rest of the Pacifico into the glass and drank it." More
This cocktail from Gramercy Tavern in NYC is a take on a Boulevardier (which is like a Negroni, but with bourbon instead of gin). Here, however, spicy rye is the star, complemented by the bittersweet Sicilian amaro, Cynar. More
This Negroni variation uses mezcal instead of gin and Zucca Amaro instead of Campari. More
A play on the classic Negroni, this cocktail created by Patrick Reynard at Pourhouse in Vancouver, BC, is lighter in body and has subtle melon and citrus aromas. More
Like with any new toy, I got bored with the Soda Stream. You can add the brand's flavored powders to your fizzy water after carbonating (I don't, though, not really being a pseudo-cola or faux-Sprite person), or mix it with juice, but you aren't supposed to introduce non-water liquids to the machine before fizzing it up—particles in the liquids supposedly cause it to explode everywhere, and at the very least, the sugar gums up the system. Enter the Twist N Sparkle Beverage Carbonating System from iSi, and you can be carbonating cocktails in no time. More
With the unique and original ingredient of tamarind bitters and artisanal spirits like Gran Classico, this Negroni-esque cocktail outdoes its inspiration. More
Cranberries—a staple on the Thanksgiving dinner table—are a perfect ingredient for cocktails this time of year. Their ruby red hue brightens up any cocktail party and the juice brings a little life to familiar cocktails. More
Aldea's Brian Block makes this delectable variation on the classic Negroni, using Punt e Mes Italian vermouth, Aperol, and cocoa-nib infused gin. More
The White Negroni has been a trendy drink lately, showing up on cocktail menus across the country. More
Hugh Reynolds of Temple Bar in Cambridge uncorked his first batch of Negronis in October. Into the cask goes gin, campari, and sweet vermouth. Over a couple of weeks the cocktail transforms into a rounder, smoother, extremely drinkable version of itself. More
For a stress-free bash, I recommend making bottled cocktails in advance. This recipe makes a killer Negroni that will stun and delight millions of people! Okay, maybe just eight people. More
Dependably delicious and easy to prepare, the crisp and bitter Negroni is particularly well-suited to springtime imbibing. Composed of only three ingredients measured in equal amounts, a Negroni is also remarkably difficult to foul up (though I won't say it hasn't happened) even by novice bartenders. More

Full detailed profile on Christina Blake Thorpe Marler Played by Elizabeth Keifer on Guiding Light Daytime Soap Opera.
Elizabeth Keifer
Birthday: 1961-11-14
Blake and Coop are at Towers. He doesn't want to be there. She brings him up in front of the little audience, introducing him and handing him a copy of the book so he can read to the crowd. As he begins, Beth and Alan arrive. He walks out to take a call while she joins the crowd and listens. She shakes her head as he reads. Alan returns and notices. As he listens, he tries to stifle his growing rage. When Coop finishes, everyone claps. When he spots Beth, he tries to slip away. Before he can, Blake unveils the cover of the book, which bears the image of a woman looking remarkably like Beth. Beth hurries over to Buzz and Frank, asking them what they should do. Meanwhile, Blake asks Alan who he thinks the mystery woman is. He ignores her and walks away.
Coop and Beth slip into a corner. She says that she was going to tell Alan that she is leaving him at lunch. He smiles and tells her it's cool that she is there. He wants them to stick to their original plan. Blake walks over to pull him away to talk to the press. After they leave, Beth breathes a sigh of relief until Alan pops up. She tells him they should go somewhere else. As they step into the elevator, Buzz and Frank watch them leave. Frank thinks that his brother is on a winning streak. Buzz warns that winning streaks never last.
Back at Company, Coop spots Blake and rushes over to her. She tells him that his book was too good not to be published. He forbids her to let it see the light of day. She sits him down and tells him that this book can be a bestseller. He doesn't care; he wrote it for himself. "Just you?" she asks, saying that she feels like she really knows the woman in the novel. Coop tells her that's the problem and repeats that he only wrote this for himself. She's disappointed but leaves to talk to the publisher.
Blake goes to see the publisher to convince her to cancel the book. When the publisher hands her a check, Blake gets excited. "Sometimes writers don't know what's best for them," Blake says with a smile.
Coop takes his manuscript down to his father and tells him to burn it. He thought it would be a great novel but it is only a fairytale. Buzz throws up his hands and walks away. Coop looks at Marina and guesses she knows his secret. Since she has a terrible history with men, she won't lecture him. He's sick of everyone being afraid of Alan. As he storms out, Blake walks in and sits down in front of his pile of papers.
Blake sits at company and reads the manuscript. Buzz comes in looking for it but she hides it from him. She gets on the phone to her old colleague in the publishing world and tries to sell Coop's book. She tells them that it's a true story about a man in love with an older woman. "She's a blond in the book but a redhead in real life," Blake says with a smile.
After Loretta starts to nap, Remy walks out and sits with Christina. She admits that she heard them talking and tells him how sorry she is about Max. After she asks him to tell her all about his son, they walk down to the maternity ward and he tells her about losing his son. She wonders how he can go through each day. "It changed me," he says; knowing that he was a dad let him know that he wasn't a screw up. She doesn't think he's a screw up. He lists his mistakes, but she tells him that they were meant to be. He walks her back to work. After he leaves, she gets a rejection letter from a government program. She realizes that you need to be married to enter it.
Blake and her daughter are at the convenience store when they run into Matt and his daughter. Blake flirts with him and then they talk about the V8 food drive. They talk about what they are doing for the holiday and Matt invites them to join them.
Blake and Lillian have Matt carry all of the gifts for Reva's baby shower into Company. He puts the packages down and wants to run. Blake needs him to stay and help assemble everything. She shouts orders and Matt starts to wish he had another baby. They sit around and begin testing all of the baby toys. Blake teases Matt. He tests the baby monitor with Buzz. Lillian slips into the kitchen with Buzz to make out. Later, he starts clearing up and babbling to people in the restaurant before noticing that Jeffrey and Reva are on the way. They smuggle all of the boxes out and over to Mallet and Marina's.
At Towers, Reva wishes that Jeffrey could stay for a meal but he has to run off for work. Once he's gone, she turns and spots Blake having a meal with Josh. They invite her to sit down and explain that they have been talking about putting an addition on her house. Reva says that Blake is the only person left in town who can make as much trouble as she can. They talk about Cassie leaving and then about how great Reva looks. Blake tells her that she is brave. Reva admits that she's scared but hopes she gets it right this time. Blake wants to set up a baby shower. Josh leaves to get a drink. Blake tells Reva not to worry about Josh and asks her if Jeffrey is really the father. "Blake!" Reva says, shocked. Reva insists that she's trying to keep everything 'normal' this time and leaves. On the way out, she talks to Josh. He wishes they had done things the 'normal' way when they had children. She worries that he has no one to take care of anymore. Even if Cassie, RJ and the church were still in his life, he would still worry about her. "I'm fine," she assures him.

Red Bull flying out 'new car'
Red Bull are flying out a new chassis for the final two days of testing in Barcelona armed with a series of upgraded parts.
Last Updated: 03/03/12 8:56am
Red Bull are flying out a new chassis for the final two days in Barcelona armed with a series of high-profile and critical upgrades as the testing season goes into dramatic overdrive.
Sky Sports F1 understands that the World Champion's aggressive new package will include a new rear wing, a new front wing and a heavily-revised exhaust.
The revisions are so extensive that the team have had to bolt them onto a new chassis after round-the-clock work at their Milton Keynes HQ.
Ted Kravitz told Sky Sports News: "It's not only parts, it's a whole new car that's being flown out from the Red Bull factory in Milton Keynes.
"So for all these mechanics in this [Red Bull] garage that's the end of work with this particular chassis. This will be chassis number one and rather than fit all the new parts to chassis number two tonight, which would involve a lot more work for these guys, they've decided to fly out the new car.
"Now that's needed agreement from some of the other teams, but what it's going to mean is we're expecting to see a significantly different car when it rolls out at 9 o'clock. So this test is about to to get much more interesting."
Along with the arrival of a new chassis for Saturday morning, Team Principal Christian Horner and Chief Designer Adrian Newey, conspicuous by their absence at the Circuit de Catalunya on the opening two days of the third-and-final winter, are also flying out from England.
"It seems like they've pressed the button after Jerez," Ted added after learning of Red Bull's plans.
With McLaren also planning to bolt on their Melbourne specifications onto the MP4-27 on Saturday, it means that testing for the start of the new season has effectively been condensed down to just two days for both Red Bull and McLaren and explains why both teams have put their drivers - Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton for the latter, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber for the former - on rotation over the weekend.
Ted added: "Ominously for everybody else, Red Bull are bringing more performance to this car which is already, we think over the long runs, the fastest here in testing here in Barcelona...
"It's an ominous sign for McLaren who are just adding piece by piece to their car here at Barcelona.
"I think what we can expect to see is maybe some of these improvements that come to the Red Bull, they'll start bringing much better lap times and that will be a shame as far as McLaren are concerned because they've been working very slowly on these upgrades that they've got for Barcelona.
"They'll bring a new front wing, a new rear wing and we'll really see then where everybody stands. Ferrari as well have been bringing more performance to their car - they tested a new front wing on their last run this afternoon. But they've already brought new exhausts.
"So for Ferrari to be bringing a new exhaust layout at this point with only two testing days to go, is a little bit late in the game. So I think when we get to Australia, we will see Red Bull possibly first and McLaren probably second.
"I think Lotus are looking like they're the third-fastest team at the moment, then Mercedes, and then potentially Ferrari only the fifth fastest as we go into Melbourne."
