(Influenza Vaccine) for Intramuscular Injection
Fluzone (Influenza Vaccine) for intramuscular injection is an inactivated influenza vaccine, prepared from influenza viruses propagated in embryonated chicken eggs. The virus-containing allantoic fluid is harvested and inactivated with formaldehyde. Influenza virus is concentrated and purified in a linear sucrose density gradient solution using a continuous flow centrifuge. The virus is then chemically disrupted using a non-ionic surfactant, octylphenol ethoxylate (Triton® X-100), producing a "split virus". The split virus is further purified and then suspended in sodium phosphate-buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution.
Fluzone suspension for injection is clear and slightly opalescent in color.
Antibiotics are not used in the manufacture of Fluzone.
No presentation of Fluzone is made with natural rubber latex.
Fluzone is standardized according to United States Public Health Service requirements and is formulated to contain HA of each of the following three influenza strains recommended for the 2014-2015 influenza season: A/California/07/2009 X-179A (H1N1), A/Texas/50/2012 X-223A (H3N2), and B/Massachusetts/02/2012 (B Yamagata lineage). The amounts of HA and other ingredients per dose of vaccine are listed in Table 6.

What are the possible side effects of influenza virus injectable vaccine?

By Fareed Zakaria
When I was getting my PhD in political science, the course I probably found least interesting at the time was the mandatory one on statistics. And yet it has probably been the course that has, at a practical level, been the most useful in helping me understand politics, because it gave me a framework and understanding of how to analyze data. So to watch the divisions during the presidential campaign between political operators who think that politics is all art and no science on the one hand, and the statisticians on the other, has been fascinating.
I do think that the social sciences – even economics – are quite different from areas like physics and mathematics, because subjects like international relations require analysis to be textured and historical. However, it is also clear to me that one area where statistical methods have worked very well has been in analysis of voting, because this is an area where you have lots of very clear, tangible data. And you also have much repetition of the experiment, allowing you to reduce the chances of misleading anomalies.
What has this meant in practice this year? Statistician Nate Silver and others have turned these tools on American elections. And in Silver's case, the results have been extraordinary – he looks to have correctly called all 50 states in yesterday's election.
More from CNN: The anatomy of Romney's defeat
So why so much handwringing among political operators? Because Silver's predictions suggest that a lot of what they are paid handsomely to do is actually worthless. Silver's model has shown Obama in roughly the same place for the last four months – through the conventions, the debates and up until polling day. This suggests that the manipulations and tactics employed by the campaigns over this period have had little impact despite the fact that political operators get paid millions of dollars to effect week-to-week and month-to-month movements in support.
This isn't just an intellectual divide. You can't help but feel that when people like Karl Rove were saying that the momentum was with Romney, and were confidently predicting that he was going to win, that it was also in their own interests to be saying such things. After all, this is how political operators make their money, and they are keen to report to candidates that momentum is on their side, suggesting that as long as the candidate keeps writing checks, then he or she has a better chance of winning.
But I think the bigger and more fascinating takeaway from this debate is that the combination of the sophisticated statistical analysis (which can only provide us with this kind of accuracy when it is a big presidential election, during which there are many, many state polls) coupled with micro-targeting of voters, is the future of politics. Why? Because it allows campaigns to spend money incredibly efficiently, for example by placing ads in TV shows that certain audiences are much more likely to watch.
But all this raises a troubling question – if politics gets overrun by all this highly statistical analysis, will it start to look like drone warfare, where what you see outside is merely a shadow, while what is really happening is going on deep inside some control room where a bunch of geeks are analyzing and manipulating data with the latest technology?
So statistical-based targeting may very well be the future not just of American politics, but campaigns elsewhere – one thing we know about U.S. politics is that it is often a trendsetter for the rest of the world. Don't be surprised if at Britain's next general election you start seeing American-style, statistical drone warfare.
It's becoming increasingly difficult for voters to avoid being manipulated. I think we need a time out on targetted politicking.
What an idiot... His Sunday show should be scrapped. It's so depressing....
Please return to your cave in Pakistan. You will find tasteful shows and biryanis of your likings
Interesting. Hopefully this will lead to more scientific, evidence based campaigns. Do rallies work? Does kissing babies work? Where is the proof? There is a bunch of stuff that is being done but no one knows if it actually makes a difference.
Nice article! You always have a nice article Fareed... Keep it up!
Why dont you crawl into your rathole in India aka Hindoo-stan
Man, why does Zakaria get paid the big bucks to write about common sense? He needs to go back to Pakistan.
Speaking of statistics, what are the odds that Mr. Zakaria actually wrote this article?
lol, I was wondering about that too. probably pretty good, seeing as he was recently caught:)
The use of modeling and statistics for better targeting should not be a surprise. Businesses have been using the technology to improve sales for 20 years. The surprise is the amount of time it took for political campaigns to catch on.
Math and only math determine outcomes. Sociology has nothing to do with it. Your side gets the turnout then you win. Way too many conservatives stayed home.
Silver's correct predictions are impressive but do not mean that ad money was wasted–there was no significant movement in numbers because both sides were constantly investing in preventing the other side from making that happen. If one side had stopped it's ad campaign, they could have fallen behind significantly. FZ, looks like you did not take the courses on Game Theory and Strategy in your PhD studies. :) I suggest you read this book: "The Art of Strategy" (http://www.artofstrategy.net/) and this paper: "Advertising Effects in Presidential Elections (http://www.columbia.edu/~brg2114/files/AdEffects.pdf). Fascinating reads. But coming back to your initial point, hats off to Nate Slver.
Very true. Zakaria should understand more about mass communication for as a journalist than he seems to understand.
How to test another countries air defenses? Send a drone.
nice catch... you think obama sent that thing in to check on iran's response? if thats true, the we should prepare for war
Here is one reason why Statistics can be a powerful tool. Predictability !!! Analysis of Variance indicates that the probablity that an Indian Hindu's brain is attached to his @ss is on the order of 0.9999 !!! Wow ....that explains it al....doesn't it.
nice article. thank you!
Ok – so the stats worked and didn't lie, which is hardly surprising I make a living out of data analysis. What does surprise me is the surprise that the pundits got it wrong. Their role is to believe their side will win, and convince enough people to believe that. And they are paid good money by other self interested groups in the media to push that view strongly. In other words they are paid to create 'spin' – spinning the truth to create a new more palatable truth for their employers which does not really exist. that is the nature of modern political discouse, there is no reality. it is therefor hardly surprising that the more believable discourse won. The interesting thing for as an outsider is the fact that so many don't vote. If these people did vote regularly, I don't think Obama or Romney would even be candidates. The discourse would be more moderate and the weird side of politics would know they were considered weird.
Ps please convince Obama that using drones is not the way to make friends and influence people, if you want to win the war you you need too win the 'hearts and minds' as well.
What happened to Fareed Zakaria's Sunday broadcast? We miss it very much. He is has the most interesting and intelligent news commentary program on TV.
Drones. Coming to your neighborhood.
Mr. Zakaria: One cannot help but wonder, if you plagiarized as a professional, then your moral make up, according to statistics, is such that you must have plagiarized on your way to your Ph. D.
What does everyone think about this?
google "how algorithms shape our world" and watch the video to the end
Nice column for those of us who have to teach that core stats course to unwilling grad students.
Thank you Fareed!
"This suggests that the manipulations and tactics employed by the campaigns over this period have had little impact"
Wrong, the data don't rule out this possibility, but you cannot conclude this from the data. In product advertising, the amount of money spent does not seem to increase sales. However, when advertising revenue is cut, sales drop off and market share goes down. The trick is determining how much advertising is needed to maintain market share. The same could easily be true for politics. Without all the money and campaigning, support might drop. We have no data addressing this possibility.
Obama supporters are doing helluva job of making Obama looking really, really bad in comparision.
Romney & Ryan lost because nothing they said would add up to anything other than Armagedon of the United States of America.
We should all read Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy. He postulates that Psychohistory, a statistical way of looking at past, present and future history, has evolved to the point where we can predict accurately the large-scale movement of historical events. We may be closer to that than I thought!
Statistical analysis is really nothing at all like drone warfare. It is simply a poor analogy.
Fareed Zakaria takes small snippets from the Economist and then makes them a full article. Has not learned from his pliagirism charges yet.
Kakaria – in addition to statistics you should have also taken courses in critical thinking and analysis. While net net Obama stayed the same over 4 months despite what the Romney team did was because the Obama team was smarter. Whatever new and damaging crapola the Romney threw, the Obama team countered it. Had the Obama team not done anything, which is what you suggested wasn't necessary, they would have been adversley impacted and lost the election. So step back from your numbers Fareed, and see the big picture.
Drones are so popular in US: I think one of them should run for a President next time!
I think Zaharia is right but misses the larger point. WE – the voters – control things. WE have allowed our process to be reduced to this. WE have shown ourselves to be highly manipulable and not sophisticated consumers of information. WE do not hold politicians accountable for nakedly shameful spin and reversal of previous statements and policies, nor for failure to disclose anything that might commit them. And on and on, ad nauseum. If we did a better job ourselves as an electorate, this cottage industry of market-research driven campaigns would be neither necessary nor particularly helpful for candidates.
Please do not blame yourselves: you do not control things! Both Democrats and Republicans may have different rhetoric but represent the same interests! So nothing really matters!

Tuesday, March 15, 2011Lipscomb basketball players Zach Brown and Milos Kleut have asked for their release from the Bisons.
Brown, a 6-3 guard from Mason, Ohio, averaged 1.5 points and 1.2 assists over 39 games with the Bisons.
Kleut, a 6-10 center from Belgrade, Serbia, averaged 1.2 points and shot 55.6 percent in 53 career games for Lipscomb.
"Zach and Milos have been great teammates over the past two years," head coach Scott Sanderson said. "I wish them the best as they finish their collegiate career and throughout life."
Both completed their second year of eligibility and would be rising juniors. Lipscomb now has two scholarships available for the regular signing period which begins April 13.
During the early signing period in November the Bisons inked Zavion Williams from West Creek in Clarksville, Tenn.; twins Malcolm and Martin Smith from Clarksville Academy and Marvin Williams from White Station High School in Memphis.

Random thoughts on the passing scene:
When I was growing up, an older member of the family used to say, "What you don't know would make a big book." Now that I am an older member of the family, I would say to anyone, "What you don't know would fill more books than the Encyclopedia Britannica." At least half of our society's troubles come from know-it-alls, in a world where nobody knows even 10 percent of all.
Some people seem to think that, if life is not fair, then the answer is to turn more of the nation's resources over to politicians — who will, of course, then spend these resources in ways that increase the politicians' chances of getting reelected.
The annual outbursts of intolerance toward any display of traditional Christmas scenes, or even daring to call a Christmas tree by its name, show that today's liberals are by no means liberal. Behind the mist of their lofty words, the totalitarian mindset shows through.
If you don't want to have a gun in your home or in your school, that's your choice. But don't be such a damn fool as to advertise to the whole world that you are in "a gun-free environment" where you are a helpless target for any homicidal fiend who is armed. Is it worth a human life to be a politically correct moral exhibitionist?
The more I study the history of intellectuals, the more they seem like a wrecking crew, dismantling civilization bit by bit — replacing what works with what sounds good.

Mentors, mentees, charities, and Molson's staff were delighted to be joined by His Honour David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. His Honour stressed the importance of vision in leadership, and heard from both mentees and charities on their strategic plans for the summer. His Honour also emphasized the significance of mentorship, sharing his personal experiences with mentors and applauding the NMP for cultivating these relationships among today's youth.

K-OS is using LINUX for its entire system. We tought we were helping the linux community.
I agree with Compunuts. This was a little too blatant. Free expression is welcome, but it should be in the appropriate area, and unfortunately we don't have one for this type of thing yet. If there is a need, we may have to create a separate ad forum for this sort of promotion.
cykosys, I'd like to know what you think.
That being said, Linux can only be promoted if people talk about it, so maybe what we could consider is a policy in which people who are directly involved with a project state so and post it in a separate ad forum, and people who have no affiliation just post it in the regular areas.
That way everyone knows what to expect.
Dude, don't get me wrong, I LOVE seeing Linux taking over the whole world ..... but but .....Originally Posted by cykosys
yours is commercial entity and should act in such a way. Just because TiVo uses Linux to run its DVR doens't mean they can come in and get free advertising. Just because Google runs its search system on Linux clusters, they can't get free advertising.
I apploude your company for using Linux. But with yearly subscription service and all that commercial string attached, it's considered advertising.
When you release KOS as OpenSource and put it under GPL, you are welcome to post it here for all of us to see. I'd even encourage you to do so. Until then, please, no commercial advertisings.
We were a little excited about this product and I probly shouldnt have spam this forum. Sorry everyone.

I recently proposed the merits of choosing Batman or Superman in "Cary's Comics Craze." Now let's check out Jack Nicholson vs. Heath Ledger as The Joker.
Life is full of ironies
. As an English major and a fiction lover, I dig ironies. You're reading one now.
Editor's note: This is the third of four blogs about reporter Cary Ashby's "Batman Chicago Vacation" June 20-24 about the making of the 2008 film "The Dark Knight" (TDK).
Captivating Season 8 premiere. Liked the diversity in terms of celebs. There's no one I really want to see go home right away, so it looks like it's going to be a fun, enjoyable season. ABC landing Melissa for DWTS: Brilliant!
Reviews of two sequels, the first I hadn't seen yet and the latter, one I hadn't seen in many years:
Welcome back, all!
Can't wait to watch DWTS again tonight. I've been missing it since late May. Perhaps they need a summer season... ;)
Wow - Ozzy's Brat CAN dance. So can the latest candidate for "Dancing With the Sort-of-Stars" -- Derek's partner, the younger swimsuit model. She could join Racecar Driver and French Guy as relatively unknown "celebs" who made the finals.

Since my all-time favorite band KISS is releasing their first studio album in 11 years, I couldn't help but review it. Look for this to be published Saturday in the comics section of the Norwalk Reflector:
Healthy Start and Healthy Families are Ohio Medicaid programs which provide eligible Ohio children, pregnant women, and families comprehensive health coverage. This is the name that Ohio gives the federal CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program).
We've waited four months for the return of "Dancing With the Stars," and from all indications it was worth the wait. Great start to the season. Very entertaining. IMO 3 guys emerged as contenders.
Are you unemployed now or facing job loss or a layoff in the near future? If so, you're in the same position as many other workers in the Huron County who have recently lost their jobs or whose jobs are at risk.
If "Dancing With the Stars" were like the game "Life," I could have bought a 6 or 7 stock and retired wealthy at Millionaire Estate. I can't recall ever seeing all the dancers so close in terms of scoring this early in the season.

Americans like to be proactive. Just as we prefer to be on top of things with our retirement savings, we're also on top of our health. After all, we know what the reward could look like, thanks to all those ads from drug makers: A retirement filled with vigorous sunset beach walks with our partner and our dog.
But we rarely stop and think about whether too much proactivity can have its drawbacks. When it comes to health, the answer is yes.
Many baby boomers adopt a more-is-better approach to medical care, and experts say this goes for doctors and patients alike. Armed with Internet research, patients often demand tests that might not be needed, said Alexis Abramson, a New York-based gerontologist.
Doctors are often all too willing to oblige, she added: While they no doubt genuinely want to help patients stay well, they may also be motivated by malpractice fears. Or they may have decided that ordering a test is quicker and easier than sitting down with the patient and discussing the pros and cons of a health situation. What's more, health insurance often reimburses doctors per procedure, so doctors have a financial incentive to proceed.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.

10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
The upshot of all this, of course, is that the country spends way too much on health care. The U.S. will spend an estimated $2.8 trillion on the health care system in 2012, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. And according to an analysis by the Institute of Medicine, more than $200 billion of that will have been spent on procedures and services that aren't medically necessary.
The Affordable Care Act—otherwise known as "Obamacare"—includes provisions to curb the tendency to over-treat, giving financial incentives to doctors to deliver more efficient and cost-effective care, and encouraging the creation of "accountable care organizations" where physicians work together to better coordinate patients' care.
But unnecessary procedures aren't just costly. They can also do real harm to patients, doctors say. Sometimes, the procedure itself can be a physically invasive measure that can go wrong; other times, it exposes a patient to a potentially harmful substance, like radiation. More broadly, a false positive can lead to anxiety and a cascade of unnecessary follow-up tests.
Deciding when to do a procedure can involve as much art as science, said Dr. Sundeep Khosla, an endocrinologist with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. There are few hard and fast rules, and much depends on the risk profile of the patient. Doctors and patients should work together to find the right balance, experts say. "Otherwise, there's no end to the tests we can do, the harm we can cause, and the money we can spend," said Dr. William Oetgen, senior vice president for science and quality at the American College of Cardiology.
We focused on four screening tests that are commonly performed on people over 50. An invaluable starting point for our research was "Choosing Wisely," a campaign launched earlier this year by the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation, along with Consumer Reports, in which nine medical specialty organizations each identified five tests or procedures whose necessity should be questioned and discussed.
If your doctor recommends that you get one of the tests below, ask some questions to help you weigh the risks and benefits. Experts offered some suggestions, including: "How would the results change my care management?"; "Is there another way we can get this information?"; and perhaps the most versatile question of all: "Can this wait a bit?"
Bone-density scans for low-risk women
As a pitch-woman for a leading anti-osteoporosis drug, actress Sally Field has put a face on that ailment—a still-adorable-at-60-plus-face, no less. But while Field has said that she has that disease, characterized by weakened bones, many women go on the class of drugs known as bisphosphonates without enough cause, doctors say—the result of the overuse of a bone density test called a DEXA scan.
Unless a woman has risk factors for osteoporosis, some doctors say, she shouldn't get a base line bone density test until at least age 65. (Risk factors for osteoporosis include having a family history of fractures and a small bone structure.) Too often, however, women without any risk factors get a test at menopause, which many women undergo in their late 40s or early 50s. Many are then diagnosed with osteopenia, a diagnosis that refers to low bone density. This condition may never develop into osteoporosis, but women with the diagnosis can find themselves undergoing a lifelong regime of costly drugs that carry side effects, from gastrointestinal distress to the rare jawbone problem, the Mayo Clinic's Khosla said.
Medicare pays for a bone density test in women every two years, but not everyone needs such regular screening, experts caution. Women who are found to have osteopenia but don't want to take medication, or whose doctors recommend against it, can talk to their doctors about taking calcium supplements and doing more weight-bearing exercise, experts say.
PSA tests for prostate cancer
For years, a PSA test was a regular part of post-50 health care for most men. These days, it's become controversial. The test detects prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood, which can indicate the presence of prostate cancer. A positive result on a PSA test can prompt many doctors to recommend a biopsy. While that's a routine procedure, in prostate patients it can lead to serious complications like urinary incontinence, said Dr. Glen Stream, Board Chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians.

By JULIE HOLLAR and PETER HARTMinute Man Media
The corporate media are largely cheering Barack Obama's early appointment of Clinton-era centrists. Many of these nominees have a distinct record of support for the corporate-friendly NAFTA trade pact, gutting public assistance programs under the guise of welfare "reform," and pushing for various deregulatory policies in the financial sector (including the elimination of the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated consumer banking from investment banking).
Yet, to hear the media tell it, Obama's centrist nominees inhabit an ideology-free political zone.
The praise began with Obama's pick of center-right Clinton Democrat Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff. Time magazine's Karen Tumulty explained, "Emanuel is a win-at-any-cost partisan but not an ideologue; in his earlier White House stint as a top aide to Clinton, he was a key figure in shepherding through the North American Free Trade Agreement, a crime bill and welfare reform--none of them popular with the Democratic Party's liberal base."
As more centrist nominations began to pile up, New York Times reporter David Sanger wrote, "Obama is planning to govern from the center-right of his party, surrounding himself with pragmatists rather than ideologues."
Obama's subsequent choice of Timothy Geithner for Treasury Secretary and Geithner's mentor, former Clinton Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, to head the White House National Economic Council, likewise prompted media praise for the men's supposed lack of ideology. A USA Today piece by Richard Wolf noted that "experts"--in a typical broad media spectrum ranging "from the White House to Wall Street"--raved about Obama's choice of the two centrists, lauding them as "pragmatists" who represent "practicality over ideology."
The Wall Street Journal concurred; "The records of Messrs. Geithner and Summers suggest views more pragmatic than ideological, on a range of issues that they will likely confront after Mr. Obama takes office in January. That paper also highlighted a number of quotes from Summers and Geithner in an apparent attempt to show how wise the two have been about the current turmoil; the great majority were from last year, when trouble had already arrived.
Even conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks hailed Obama's 'superb' choices, explaining, "They are not ideological."
The "pragmatic rather than ideological" centrists theme emanates from the Obama camp as well as the media. As U.S. News & World Report wrote, Obama representative Robert Gibbs "says...guiding standard is pragmatic rather than ideological as he seeks advisers who will put the middle class first and have a philosophy of getting things done."
What makes these Clinton era centrists' positions "pragmatic" rather than "ideological"? Notably, those positions were all heartily supported by a corporate media system that clings fiercely to the notion that it, too, is non-ideological.

The states highest court has ruled that an Alford plea entered by a Watertown man in a criminal proceeding cannot unilaterally be used against him in other administrative proceedings.
The ruling helps David W. Howard in his continuing bid to receive workers compensation benefits despite a conviction for insurance fraud.
The issue arose when Mr. Howard was denied a hearing into whether he should receive benefits stemming from a back injury he suffered while working in 2003 at the now-closed Stature Electric Inc. He had applied for and received benefits, but the state Insurance Fund, which provides workers compensation benefits, sought to stop the payments after Mr. Howard pleaded guilty in 2006 to fourth-degree insurance fraud after being accused of receiving benefits while continuing to work somewhere else.
The Insurance Fund reasoned that if Mr. Howard had been convicted of a crime related to the matter, that was adequate proof that he no longer should be entitled to benefits. He requested a hearing on the matter and a workers compensation law judge found that because Mr. Howard had entered his guilty plea using an Alford plea, the matter was not fully resolved in criminal court.
In entering an Alford plea, a criminal defendant does not admit any wrongdoing, but pleads guilty to avoid the possibility of being convicted of a more serious offense at trial. Following the law judges determination that Mr. Howard was entitled to a hearing, the Insurance Fund sought a review of the decision. A workers compensation board modified the decision, giving preclusive effect to his guilty plea, meaning it could be used in workers compensation proceedings as proof that he was not entitled to benefits.
Mr. Howard appealed the decision to the state Appellate Division, Fourth Department, which reversed the decision and sent it back to the workers compensation board for further proceedings consistent with its ruling that the criminal conviction could not automatically be considered proof that Mr. Howard should have his benefits halted. The state Insurance Fund appealed to the state Court of Appeals, which, in a decision issued Thursday, upheld the Fourth Departments decision.
The highest court ruled that, because Mr. Howard did not admit any wrongdoing in the criminal case, it is impossible to conclude that the conviction was based upon the same circumstances alleged to be fraudulent in the workers compensation proceeding. It ruled that the Insurance Fund did not meet its burden of proving that the issues in both matters were identical.
As a result, the plea did not prohibit (Mr. Howard) from challenging the workers compensation violation alleged, justices wrote in their decision.
Consistent with the Fourth Department ruling, Mr. Howard is entitled to a hearing on the matter, according to the Court of Appeals.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
So we have survived our first major winter storm of the season. I am finally getting to writing this on Sunday because I just can't seem to write when it's snowing.
I'm like a little kid and can just stand and watch it fall for hours. Then I go out and shovel, come in and drink hot chocolate and do it all over again.
But now that it's stopped I have to get back into regular life again. That means going out to the store and other stuff. I started to run to get groceries on Sunday and thought since I was just going to the store and back I could get away with tennis shoes and a jacket.
Then I watched a car slide crazily down our street and changed shoes and grabbed my winter coat. I made it to the store and back without incident, but in this weather you never know. I remind everyone it is the season to always be prepared whenever you go out.
If you slide off the road or get stuck and are not dressed for outside weather, you may find yourself in much more trouble than you anticipated.
Oh I know snow shoes can be ugly. Coats are often bulky and uncomfortable to drive in. But if you don't wear them, at least have them in the car (not the trunk) where you can access them in a hurry if needed, it can be a problem.
If you drive at all where you may be off the road and in an area not within walking distance of a house make sure you have supplies in your car to keep you alive for a period of time. A blanket, flares, energy bars and water can make the difference in your survival.
For all who think they cannot live a minute if they are not talking on their cell phone, please rethink this when driving on snow packed and icy roads. That small moment of distraction that you might have been able to get away with in the summer, may cost you dearly now.
Approach each green light like it is going to turn red. And if a car slows or stops in front of you, don't go around them unless you know the reason why they stopped. A neighbor of mine relayed a story about her stopping at a crosswalk to let two elementary kids cross the other day. She had two other cars swerve around her, almost hitting the girls in the cross walk. In snowy conditions, people crossing the roads can also slip and fall, so extra time may be needed to make sure they are clear and safe before preceding through an intersection.
And remember that four -wheel drive may get you started faster, but it won't stop you any faster. I know, it have tried it. Nothing is scarier than standing on the brakes as you sail into an intersection.
So as the cop show watch captain used to say at the start of every shift, "Let's be careful out there."

Dylan Bundy's recent medical misfortune has to raise questions about his future role with the Orioles. Because he was signed to a ML contract when he was drafted in 2011 his options' clock started last season. It's been reported that the Orioles might receive a fourth option for him; however, that would only carry them through the 2015 season.
Considering that Bundy will lose all of the 2013 season and probably most of the 2014 season, the Orioles will probably have to use his 2015 option to begin rebuilding his innings. How many innings do you risk on an arm that has just undergone Tommy John surgery?
Let's suppose the Orioles allow him to pitch 100 innings in 2015. That would mean he would probably be allowed to go about 130 or 140 innings in 2016; however, those innings would have to be in Baltimore because the team won't have an option for him that season. If the Orioles want him to be a SP then they would either have to use him out of the bullpen until the beginning of June OR as a SP until the end of July and then put him in the bullpen for the rest of the season, but NOT during the playoffs.
When choosing between one of those options, keep in mind that this is a pitcher that the organization had evaluated as not yet having adequate command of his curve or slider, which means he had only TWO ML pitches that the team was willing to allow him to throw. That profiles as a reliever, not a SP.
So; the reality of the situation is this: for Dylan Bundy to be a ML SP he would have to 1) rebuild his arm strength; 2) rebuild his endurance; 3) regain (and improve to a ML level) his command and control; and 4) learn to command TWO breaking pitches in about 100 innings while not over stressing a newly surgically repaired arm.
Considering his self-discipline and dedication I have no doubt that Dylan Bundy would do everything he could to make that happen, but IMO it's unrealistic to expect that and there's an excellent chance that he would just hurt himself again.
The Orioles have two choices. They could NOT option him next season and allow him to accumulate service time while sitting on the 60 Day DL. He could finish the year on a rehab assignment for whatever innings he was able to pitch. This would give them an option for the 2016 season. Or, they could decide to just convert him to an end of the game reliever.
Allowing him to accumulate service time will ultimately cost this team money and, since virtually ALL of their decisions seem to be based on money, you have to wonder if they would make that choice. IMO the best solution would be for the two sides to renegotiate his contract to cover the next three seasons or so and include reasonable incentives for games started or finished, thus taking the question of service time pretty much out of the decision making process. If the Orioles make such an offer I hope that Dylan will consider it because it would mitigate the ill-advised decision both sides made in giving him a ML contract in the first place.
The other option is to simply convert him to a closer in waiting. If the Orioles do not decide to save an option next season and use his last one in 2015 to rebuild his innings then he would almost certainly not be ready to be a SP for the entire 2016 season. By that time this team should see itself as a perennial contender and almost certainly could not afford to use a spot in their starting rotation for a pitcher that they KNEW was not going to be able to produce for the entire season, much less the playoffs. Even if they wanted to take such a gamble it would be on the unrealistic assumption that he would be ready to BE a productive ML SP at that point.
The conversion process would be the safest way to assure that he would have a productive career during the time period the Orioles control him. If the team decides to do so they could use the 2015 season to allow him to regain the command of his FB and change up as well as allowing him to reintroduce his cutter to his reportage. That approach might make him ML ready by the end of July that year.
Yes, I accept that converting him would make him the THIRD #4 pick since 2008 that we have had to do that with, but the reality is that the ML contract he was given may make this the ONLY viable solution.

Lucas Duda and his confidence
In yesterday's 14-5 win over the Rangers, Lucas Duda went 4 for 5 with four RBI, including three doubles, one of which came with the bases loaded.
In his last three starts, Duda is 7 for 12 with five RBI and just one strikeout.
After the game, Duda spoke with reporters and basically said his performance was a big confidence builder and he hopes to be able to build on that.
Earlier this week, Terry Collins told reporters Duda has issues with his confidence and whether or not he belongs in the Major Leagues, and over the past year, Duda himself has questioned his own ability to be a major league player. It's strange because when he's been on a roll over the past year, he has been tough for opposing pitchers to contain like he was yesterday afternoon, and obviously he's been a big minor league player in his career as well.
I'm not sure how Duda factors into the long term plans for the Mets. Collins has said Duda is going to get an opportunity to play first base while Ike Davis is out, but I have to think his confidence is going to be a big determining factor in his future no matter where he plays, considering that typically translates into production for a player. I think he's a talented hitter with a ton of power, and his ability as a left handed hitter to pull the ball plays into the strengths of Citi Field, as it seems the right field corner is an easier area to drive balls out of there. Perhaps this issue with his confidence is just part of the maturation process for him, but if he isn't strong mentally, the game is going to dominate him.

While most kids his age were down at the beach soaking up some rays the past two days, Jamison Randall was at Potowomut Country Club playing with some of the top amateur golfers in Rhode Island.
And, after a shaky opening start, the recent Cumberland High grad and individual state champion has manufactured a pair of solid rounds at the 106th annual R.I. Amateur Championship.
The 17-year-old Randall shot an opening round, even-par 71 on Tuesday. He followed that up yesterday afternoon with a 72 to finish stroke play tied with Metacomet's Steve Meriuzzo for fifth place at 1-over 143. Jonathan Bartlett of Carnegie Abney and 2009 titlist Bobby Leopold of the host course tied for first at 136.
Randall begins match play of the five-day tourney this morning at 9:36 when he plays Metacomet's Derek Corrente.
"On Tuesday, I was happy with my round. I felt like I played better than I did on Wednesday," said Randall, from his Cumberland home. "I just didn't feel like I had a good round today, but I still shot fairly well."
Randall, the youngest player to make the cut that was set at 9 over, didn't get off to the type of start he anticipated in his first appearance at the event. He fired a 3-over 38 on the front nine that included a double-bogey 6 on the 429-yard first hole and a bogey 5 on the 362-yard second.
The trouble on the first hole was partly due to a late arrival at the course. Randall was warming up at Alpine Country Club in Cranston before his round and miscalculated the distance to the Warwick course.
"I got to the course about 30 seconds before my tee time," he said. "I thought it would be less time from Alpine to Potowomut. I got to the first tee and duck-hooked my drive and just got it over the pond. I hit my third shot in a bunker and two-putted."
Randall was four over after eight holes and registered his first birdie at the ninth, a 445-yard, Par 5.
"I was just waiting for one birdie to get me in a zone," he said. "It happened at nine and then I birdied the tenth."
Randall also had birdies at the 14th, 15th and the 17th to finish the back side with a 3-under 33 and even par for his round.
On Wednesday, the former Clipper standout started his round on the back nine where he had seven pars, a birdie and a bogey. He shot even par on his last nine, but had a string of three straight bogeys between holes five and seven.
"I think down the stretch I started to get a little tired and my legs felt a little weak because of the sun," he said. "It doesn't usually happen to me. I just felt I was getting a little tired and started to spray my shots a little."
Randall finished up his second round on a positive note with a birdie. His drive went to the right of the tree on the fairway. He punched a shot through the trees that landed next to the green. He chipped to within six feet of the flag, he estimates, and putted the ball into the cup for his four.
Randall, who recently won the Big I qualifier at Potowomut with rounds of 73 and 70, now partakes in the match-play portion of the tournament, beginning with the Round of 32. If he wins his first match this morning, he's back on the course again in the afternoon for another one-on-one duel in the Round of 16. On Friday it will be quarterfinal and semifinal matches and a 36-hole final match will be played on Saturday.
In last year's tourney, former St. Raphael Academy star Garrett Medeiros hoisted the championship trophy.
"I do like match play a little more than stroke play," Randall admitted. "In match play, it's just you and your opponent."
What does he feel about his chances of being the next local player to prosper at the R.I. Amateur?
"It really depends on how I play," he said. "If I play around the same as stroke play, anything can happen in match play. I am just going to see what happens. I'll just play my best and see what happens."
DIVOTS: Kyle Hoffman of the Pawtucket Country Club finished stroke play in a three-way tie for tenth with a 146. He shot a 2-under 69 on Wednesday. Also tied at tenth was two-time champion Brad Valois of Metacomet. Valois, who won back-to-back crowns in 2006-07, had rounds of 75 and 71. Hoffman plays Jason Kalin of Metacomet in his Round of 32 match this morning at 8:33.

Yo New York Rangers if you are still in the mood to end
negative streaks there is one big one your fans would you guys put an end to
with a win in game 2. Yes that would be that ugly NHL record 12 game losing
streak the team has when it comes to holding a series lead.
Boy it was so nice to hear the shock in the voices of the
NBCSN announcers when the Rangers scored their "twin" goals in overtime to earn
a 3-2 win in game 1 over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pierre McGuire and his "that
was no goal" call from that spot between the glass showed what a waste putting
people there is.
That the Rangers won despite a horrible 2nd period and an officiating crew that isn't good enough to call "drop in" games
at the local ice rink was a bit of a minor miracle. The Rangers can take a lot
from the lessons they should have learned in game 1 and realize that if they
work hard in every game for every minute then they should beat this Penguin
Columbus provided the blueprint to how to beat the Penguins
so it is up to the Rangers to follow that blueprint. Get bodies in front of
Marc-Andre Fleury and you can score as seen not only by the Brassard/Pouliot
twin goals but Brad Richard's goal in the first period.
If I am Coach Alain Vigneault then I would show the team the
video of those goals and ask how come they aren't doing this on the power play?
That Brassard and Pouliot scored goals was not a surprise as they along with
Mats Zuccarello have been the only Rangers who have attacked the net all season
The 4th line of Boyle, Moore and Carcillo also
attack the net but they haven't been as good at finishing plays as the 2nd line has been. If the Rangers could ever get the Nash line to do this on a more
consistent basis then writers like myself would not be able to put out that
Nash in 24 post season games has all of 2 goals.
But the Rangers won and they should have won this game in
regulation if the officials had done their job correctly. The Penguin's 2nd goal should have been disallowed if not for goalie interference then slashing
Henrik Lundqvist should have been the call.
And just wondering didn't the NHL put in a rule outlawing
someone facing the goalie and waving his stick? Think it is called the "Sean
Avery" rule but the sad reality is there are 2 sets of rules; one for the
Penguins and one for the other 29 teams.
And while it wasn't a perfect game there were some positives
to build on starting with a penalty kill that killed off 4 Penguin power plays,
that the Rangers were only called for 4 minors while playing under Penguin NHL
rules is also a positive and a great job on the giveaways with only 4 for the
entire game.
They even had a good job on faceoffs which especially in the
2nd period saved the Rangers as only Derek Brassard was under 500
for his faceoffs and he was 9-10 while the other 3 Ranger centers were 500 or better
at 26-22. Like I said there were a lot of positives to take away from game 1
but none this will matter if the Rangers don't follow this up with a strong
solid effort in game 2 on Sunday.
I honestly believe if the Rangers can get to Fleury early in
game 2 and stay on him that they will force Pittsburgh Coach Dan Blysma to make
a change in goal. Those Pittsburgh fans as one could tell was not happy with
their team's effort in the first period which also helps the Rangers.
Even better is that if the Rangers can come out of
Pittsburgh up 2-0 in the series then it would be a huge difference maker on
Monday night back in New York City. But it is going to require the Rangers to
break that 12 game losing streak.
It can be done if the 18 skaters and 1 goalie all show up
ready to play.

WEST SENECA, NY- The gifts Jim Steinmetz received for his 84th birthday moved him to tears. They are the medals he should've received 67 years ago for his service in WWII.
Countless numbers of America's war heroes came home after their service ended without receiving the medals they deserved, only to be tracked down decades later, mostly by family members. That's exactly what happened for Steinmetz Friday night.
The son of a WWI veteran, Steinmetz, of Collins, was persuaded by his twin brother to enlist in the Navy back in 1945.
"I didn't know what I was getting into, so I said, 'sure, we'll join the Navy.' So I got my dad's permission at 17. I was 17 in October and in November I went in the Navy," he said.
Jim was assigned to a brand new ship, the PC-822, with the job of patrolling the Atlantic Ocean for submarines. His brother Jack was on the USS Hazel, an older ship with the less glamorous job of moving netting in and out of the Panama Canal.
"For some reason he didn't like his duties. I said, 'well I've got a good ship.' He said, 'well, I'm going to try to get on it,'" Steinmetz recalled.
Despite Navy policy preventing family members from serving on the same ship, the Steinmetz twins fought to be together. But he now laughs about the way it turned out.
"They took me off of my ship and put me on his ship," he said.
Steinmetz admits he doesn't remember much about his two years of service at the naval station in Coco Solo, but when he saw one photo the memories came flooding back. It's a picture of the Steinmetz twins locking arms with another local Navy vet, Hoyt Holkum, and it was snapped the day the boys got their tattoos.
"Hoyt had his half done and it hurt so much he walked out."
But Steinmetz stayed for all of his and proudly shows it off today. It's a symbol of his dedication to the Navy, and now the medals are as well. At Kloc's Grove in West Seneca Friday night, Congressman Brian Higgins (D-Buffalo) presented him with the American Campaign Medal, the WWII Victory medal, the Honorable Service button, and lapel pin.
"It's appropriate for our nation to honor the extraordinary sacrifice and courage of our veterans," said Rep. Higgins.
He was also given a flag that flew over the capital, and his wife of 60 years, June, said that may have meant the most.
"I could tell by the way he looked at me that he was really pleased," said June. "He flies his flag every day."
He is a true hero to his four children and 12 grandchildren, and especially admired by one grandson, Kevin Steinmetz, who also defended our nation in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"You do your job. You're not doing it for medals. You're not doing it for prestige. You're doing it because it's the right thing to do. That's the kind of person he is," said Steinmetz, a member of New York's Army National Guard, 27th Brigade.
Jack now lives in Florida, and he also didn't receive his medals. His family is now going through the process of applying for them to be awarded.
