Labor Adopts New Strategy
Published: September 20, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
To be sure, the settlements reached by these unions included far more than just wage freezes. The unions achieved one of their most important goals by avoiding the major concessions on health coverage that management wanted, agreeing instead to modest increases in medical co-payments.
Demonstrating the increased emphasis that unions are placing on preserving jobs, the Verizon and Goodyear contracts also include unusually sweeping job security provisions. The Goodyear accord, for example, pledges that the company will keep 12 plants open, will not reduce employment at each plant below 85 percent of current levels and will not import tires like those made by the factories unless the domestic plants are running at full capacity.
After his union concluded five months of negotiations with Goodyear, which has lost $1.3 billion over the last two years, Wayne Ranick, a spokesman for the steelworkers, said: ''We were dealing with a company that faced very difficult financial conditions. We provided them with some savings and some financial flexibility and in exchange we received some important measures on job security.''
But the United Auto Workers, acknowledging the cost pressures and market share losses faced by the Big Three, gave the automakers a green light to shut 12 assembly plants to help them trim costs. That was a bitter pill for union members, but union leaders clearly accepted the automakers' arguments that laying off a few thousands workers at those plants was needed to safeguard hundreds of thousands of other jobs.
At a news conference Thursday alongside the auto workers' president, Rick Wagoner, G.M.'s chairman, said the settlement would ''enable us to work together effectively to address what I think is pretty clearly a challenging set of competitors.''
Lawrence T. Babbio, Verizon's vice chairman, was even more complimentary to the unions at his company. ''I have to give the unions credit here that they were willing to step up and reach some compromises to help us improve our competitive position, long before it's too late,'' he said after they agreed to a wage freeze and to changes in health coverage that Verizon said would save it $1 billion over five years.
The auto workers made their concessions after sales by foreign automakers reached their highest level ever and after one company based overseas, Toyota, for the first time climbed to third place in American auto sales, pushing Chrysler into fourth place.
''The auto workers gave quite a lot, and I think they had no choice on that,'' said Gary N. Chaison, a professor of industrial relations at Clark University. ''This was very much reality-based bargaining. They knew the problems they had.''

This review is from: Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
+Quick - Read / write speeds are quick, as I expect them to be with an SATA hard drive.
+Quiet - I can barely even hear the thing spin when booting up or copying files... nice!
-First one was DOA -- spent 2 days struggling before managing to run WD's disc diagnostics - all of which failed.
-It's incompatible with my flux capacitor... now how will I time travel?!?!
Other Thoughts:
While it was rather disappointing and frustrating that the first one was DOA, Newegg has always been great and the RMA process was quick and painless. Within a few days I had a replacement WD drive in my hands.
I work in tech support myself, so I understand that DOAs happen sometimes, especially in the technology sector of business. I was disappointed, but it's not nearly enough for me to knock off any eggs.
I have another 500 GB WD Blue drive that's been kicking for well over 4 years now, and is still going strong. When I purchase a WD hard drive, I know I'm getting a quality drive that will last. I expect nothing different from this drive.
It's great to add as a storage/backup drive, or as a bootable drive, as I've had no trouble with it at all. I recommend WD drives to everyone.

SpeedFan4.51 / 4.52 Beta 2
editor's review
22 comments
Designed for hardcore users who frequently hog the system's resources (such as video gamers and graphic designers), SpeedFan offers a simple and effective solution to keeping track of the hardware's temperature level and change the fan speed when it gets too high. It is capable of evaluating S.M.A.R.T. attributes as well.
Speedy setup and classical GUI
Installing SpeedFan takes minimal time and effort, since there are no customization options available. The utility is packed in a classical interface made of a single window split into multiple frames, where users may seamlessly examine information and make the necessary changes concerning the fan speed.
System tray indicator and clock tweaks
At startup, it creates an icon in the notifications area which displays the current GPU, hard drive and core temperatures when hovering the mouse; the icon's color indicated the current temperature status. The first panel monitors these components and allows users to enable the automatic fan speed based on the app's own optimization parameters.
When it comes to the system clock, users may select the motherboard and clock name, pick a configuration from the list and enable automatic control by setting rules based on low CPU usage and time limit. S.M.A.R.T. attributes can be investigated in the last tab to find out various indicators of reliability and anticipate system failures.
Extensive configuration options and logging
It is possible to select the exclude components shown in the system tray area, tweak fan, voltage and speed settings, point out fan controllers to take into account, customize the tray icon colors and font, as well as pick the temperature measurement unit between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Program activity can be recorded to log files, a feature which comes in handy when planning to leave the PC unattended. They can be immediately sent via email.
Evaluation and conclusion
SpeedFan has a very good response time and shows accurate information. It offers extensive details concerning the hard disk and CPU temperature levels, allowing users to adjust settings to suit their own preferences. Due to the technical nature of the app, only experienced users should work with SpeedFan, since they might otherwise damage the PC.

As easy as ABC
After 51 years and two months, Virginia ABC employee Carlton E. Willis retired recently, leaving behind the longest career in retail service in the history of the agency. Willis worked as a store associate, assistant manager and manager in four stores in Henrico and Hanover counties and in the City of Richmond. His starting salary in 1961 was $75 a week.
"I really enjoyed working for the ABC," Willis said. "I loved seeing the people who came in the store and enjoying a laugh or two with them."
Willis took an early retirement in July 1991 but returned to work just two weeks later as a store associate at the Staples Mill Shopping Center store on Glenside Drive in Henrico. "I missed the people and the work," he said.
"He was always friendly, and the customers just loved him," said Bernard Bottoms, Richmond Regional Manager of Retail Operations and former supervisor of the Staples Mill Shopping Center store. "Carlton experienced a lot of change over the years as our stores transitioned from conventional counter service to self-service, and throughout it all he exemplified the dedication to providing good customer service that we strive for in all of our stores. He was a beloved member of our team."
Beloved by many, Willis received two cards upon his retirement with a total of 340 customers' signatures and notes of congratulations on reaching this milestone. "They were something to see, that's for sure," said Willis.

Intake of Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, and Fiber and
Risk of Stroke Among US Men
A. Ascherio, MD, DrPH; E.B. Rimm, ScD; M.A. Herna ´n, MD, MPH; E.L. Giovannucci, MD, ScD;
I. Kawachi, MD, DrPH; M.J. Stampfer, MD, DrPH; W.C. Willett, MD, DrPH
Background—Animal experiments and epidemiological studies have suggested that high potassium intake may reduce the
risk of stroke, but the evidence is inconclusive, and the role of other nutrients in potassium-rich foods remains unknown.
Methods and Results—We examined the association of potassium and related nutrients with risk of stroke among 43 738
US men, 40 to 75 years old, without diagnosed cardiovascular diseases or diabetes, who completed a semiquantitative
food frequency questionnaire in 1986. During 8 years of follow-up, 328 strokes (210 ischemic, 70 hemorrhagic, 48
unspecified) were documented. The multivariate relative risk of stroke of any type for men in the top fifth of potassium
intake (median intake, 4.3 g/d) versus those in the bottom (median, 2.4 g/d) was 0.62 (95% CI, 0.43, 0.88; P for
trend?0.007). Results for ischemic stroke alone were similar. Intakes of cereal fiber and magnesium, but not of calcium,
were also inversely associated with risk of total stroke. These inverse associations were all stronger in hypertensive than
normotensive men and were not materially altered by adjustment for blood pressure levels. Use of potassium
supplements was also inversely related to risk of stroke, particularly among men taking diuretics (relative risk, 0.36;
Conclusions—Although these data do not prove a causal relationship, they are consistent with the hypothesis that diets rich
in potassium, magnesium, and cereal fiber reduce the risk of stroke, particularly among hypertensive men. Potassium
supplements may also be beneficial, but because of potential risks, use should be carefully monitored and restricted to
men taking potassium-losing diuretics. (Circulation. 1998;98:1198-1204.)
Key Words: stroke?potassium?magnesium?epidemiology?diet
experiments.5A beneficial effect of potassium intake could be
due to its hypotensive effect,6,7but this is small, and neither in
rats5nor in humans1,4could it explain the reduced risk of
stroke. Other mechanisms that have been suggested include
inhibition of free radical formation,8vascular smooth muscle
proliferation,9and arterial thrombosis.10
However, the overall evidence is unconvincing. Small size
and inadequate dietary assessment are among the limitations
of the previous epidemiological studies, because diet based
on a single 24-hour recall was used to predict stroke incidence
over a 12-,116-,2or 20-year period.4This dietary assessment
reduces the ability to adjust for consumption of other foods or
nutrients that may explain the inverse associations reported.11
To overcome this limitation, we addressed the hypothesis that
high potassium intake reduces the risk of stroke in a large
cohort of men who completed a detailed and validated
semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire at baseline and
were followed up for 8 years. In addition, we examined the
associations between risk of stroke and intakes of dietary
role for potassium in determining risk of stroke is
suggested by epidemiological studies1–4and animal
fiber, magnesium, and calcium, which are correlated with
intake of potassium and may be related to risk of stroke.
The Health Professionals Follow-up Study began in 1986, when
51 529 health professionals 40 to 75 years old12completed a
131-item food-frequency questionnaire and provided information
about medical history and lifestyle. Follow-up questionnaires were
sent every 2 years to update information on potential risk factors and
to identify newly diagnosed cases of stroke and other diseases. We
excluded from analysis 1595 men who did not satisfy the a priori
criteria of daily caloric intake between 800 and 4200 kcal and ?70
blanks out of 131 total listed food items. In addition, we excluded
men with prior diagnosis of myocardial infarction, angina, coronary
artery surgery, stroke, transient ischemic attack, peripheral arterial
disease, or diabetes. We followed up the 43 738 eligible men for
stroke incidence during the subsequent 8 years. The average re-
sponse rate for the 2-year follow-up cycles was ?94%. Nonrespond-
ing participants not matched to the National Death Index were
assumed to be alive.
Assessment of Diet and Other Exposure Variables
The 1986 questionnaire asked about average frequency of intake
during the previous year of specified portions of 131 foods and use

of vitamin and mineral supplements. Nutrient calculations took into
account the specific brand of breakfast cereal and multivitamins
reported by each subject. We also asked about use of specific
supplements of potassium and magnesium (apart from multivita-
mins). We assumed the amount of potassium in these specific
supplements to be 1 g/d and that of magnesium 0.3 g/d, because
details on doses were not asked in the questionnaire. We assessed the
validity of the questionnaire in a random sample of 127 men who
completed two 1-week diet records.13The correlations between the 2
assessments of intake, energy-adjusted and corrected for within-
person variation in the diet records, were 0.65 for potassium, 0.64 for
dietary fiber, 0.66 for magnesium, and 0.53 for calcium. In addition
to diet, in 1986, participants were asked to report their usual systolic
and diastolic blood pressure and whether or not they had physician-
diagnosed hypertension. The validity of these variables has been
documented previously.14
End points were fatal and nonfatal strokes occurring between the
return of the baseline questionnaire and January 31, 1994. Partici-
pants reporting an incident stroke on a follow-up questionnaire were
asked for permission to review medical records. Strokes were
confirmed if characterized by a typical neurological defect of sudden
or rapid onset, lasting ?24 hours and attributable to a cerebrovas-
cular event. Strokes caused by infection or neoplasia were excluded.
Reviews were conducted by physicians with no knowledge of the
subjects' risk factor status. Strokes were subclassified according to
the criteria of the National Survey of Stroke as due to ischemia
(embolism or thrombosis), subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral
hemorrhage, or unknown cause.15If no records could be obtained,
strokes were considered probable if they required hospitalization and
were corroborated by additional information provided by letter
or interview.
Deaths were reported by next of kin, coworkers, postal authorities,
or the National Death Index. Fatal strokes were confirmed by
medical records or autopsy reports or were considered probable if
these were not obtainable and stroke was listed as the underlying
cause on the death certificate.
Statistical Analysis
Participants contributed follow-up time from the return of the 1986
questionnaire up to the occurrence of a confirmed stroke, death, or
January 31, 1994. The occurrence of nonfatal cardiovascular events,
such as myocardial infarction or coronary surgery, was not a reason
for censoring. Intakes of potassium and other nutrients were energy-
adjusted to 2000 kcal/d.16Relative risks (RR) were calculated by
dividing the incidence of stroke among men in each fifth of
energy-adjusted potassium intake at baseline by the incidence among
men in the lowest fifth of intake. Similar calculations were done for
the other nutrients. We adjusted RRs for age (5-year categories)17and
used the Mantel extension test18to test for linear trends. To adjust for
other risk factors, we used pooled logistic regression with 2-year
intervals. When the probability of an event within an interval is
small, this method is equivalent to a Cox proportional-hazards
analysis.19Multivariate models included as covariates calendar time
(2-year intervals), total energy intake (continuous variable), smoking
(current, past, and 1 to 14, 15 to 24, and ?25 cigarettes/d), alcohol
consumption (?5, 5 to 9, 10 to 14, 15 to 29, and ?30 g/d), history
of hypertension, history of hypercholesterolemia, parental history of
myocardial infarction before age 65 years, profession, and quintiles
of body mass index and physical activity. In these models, we
evaluated monotonic trends by using the median value of each
category and modeling this as a continuous variable. All P values are
2-sided. Covariates were not updated during the follow-up.
During 323 394 person-years of follow-up, we documented
328 cases of cerebrovascular accidents (50 fatal), including
210 ischemic, 70 hemorrhagic, and 48 unclassified strokes.
Men in the top fifth of potassium intake (including potassium
from supplements) were less likely to smoke, were more
physically active, and consumed less alcohol, less fat, more
protein, and more micronutrients than men in the bottom fifth
(Table 1). Similar relations were found for magnesium, fiber,
and calcium (data not shown). The age-adjusted RR of total
stroke for men in the top fifth of potassium intake compared
with those in the bottom fifth was 0.59 (Table 2). This RR
was slightly attenuated by adjustment for nondietary risk
factors (RR?0.62) and by further adjustment for intakes of
magnesium and dietary fiber (RR?0.69). The corresponding
associations with ischemic stroke were similar, whereas no
significant associations were observed for hemorrhagic stroke

associated with risk of total stroke in age-adjusted analyses
(Table 2). These associations were only moderately attenu-
ated by adjustment for nondietary risk factors, but they were
substantially weakened in regression models that simulta-
neously included potassium, magnesium, and dietary fiber

lyzed further. Because in a previous investigation an inverse

association was reported between calcium from dairy sources
and risk of stroke,20we examined this relationship in our
cohort. The multivariate risk for the top compared with the
bottom quintile of dairy calcium intake was 0.83 (95% CI,
0.59, 1.17) for total (Table 2), 0.90 (95% CI, 0.59, 1.37) for
ischemic, and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.36, 1.51) for hemorrhagic
stroke; the lowest incidence of each outcome was observed in
the middle quintile of intake. Also, we examined whether the
risk of stroke was lower among men who reported using
calcium supplements at baseline. The RR for men who took
?400 mg/d of supplemental calcium compared with nonusers
was 0.88 for total stroke (95% CI, 0.60, 1.27) and 0.83 for
ischemic stroke (95% CI, 0.52, 1.34).
When intakes of dietary fiber from different sources were
considered separately, only cereal fiber was inversely asso-
ciated with risk of stroke. This association remained after
adjustment for potassium, magnesium, and fiber from other
sources; both potassium and cereal fiber intake appeared to be
independently inversely associated with risk of total stroke
(Figure 1). Intakes of fruits, vegetables, and cereal products
were each inversely associated with risk of total stroke, but
none of these associations were significant. The multivariate
RR for an increase of 1 serving per day was 0.96 (95% CI,
0.89, 1.03; P for trend?0.26) for fruits, 0.96 (95% CI, 0.91,
1.02; P for trend?0.18) for vegetables, and 0.94 (95% CI,
0.87, 1.02; P for trend?0.11) for cereal. Results for ischemic
stroke were similar.
We further examined separately the associations of potas-
sium and magnesium from supplements with risk of stroke.
Neither use of potassium supplements (RR?0.78; 95% CI,
0.69 to 1.22) nor use of magnesium supplements (RR?0.85;
95% CI, 0.55 to 1.32) was associated with risk of total or
ischemic stroke in analyses adjusted for age only, but use of
potassium supplements became strongly inversely associated
after adjustment for history of hypertension (RR?0.55; 95%
CI, 0.35 to 0.86). History of hypertension was a strong
independent risk factor for stroke (RR?2.8; 95% CI, 2.1, 3.7)
and was associated with use of potassium supplements (46%
of the 1248 supplement users were hypertensives, compared
with 19% of nonusers). The inverse association between use
of potassium supplements and risk of stroke in multivariate
analyses was independent of dietary intakes of nutrients,
including potassium, magnesium, and fiber, and was stronger
among men with low dietary intake of potassium, magne-
sium, and cereal fiber. The RR comparing the top with the
bottom quintile of potassium intake was 0.39 in the lowest
tertile of a dietary score, including the 3 nutrients, 0.57 in the
middle, and 0.86 in the highest tertile. To further test the
hypothesis that use of potassium supplements reduces the risk
of stroke, we compared men who reported using supplements
both in 1986 and 1988 with men who never used supple-
ments. During the 6 remaining years of follow-up, the
multivariate RR of total stroke among supplement users was
0.31 (95% CI, 0.12, 0.85; P?0.02); the risk of stroke was also
reduced among men who reported using potassium supple-
ments only in 1986 (0.46; 95% CI, 0.22, 0.98; P?0.05) but
not among men who started taking supplements in 1988
Because of the importance of hypertension as a risk factor
for stroke, we conducted analyses stratified by history of
hypertension at baseline. Inverse associations between nutri-
ent intakes and risk of stroke were observed only among
hypertensive men (Figures 2 and 3). In analyses restricted to
men taking diuretics at baseline, alone or in combination with
other antihypertensive drugs, the RR of stroke for users of
potassium supplements compared with nonusers was 0.36
(95% CI, 0.18, 0.72; P?0.004). Both fiber and cereal fiber
were significantly inversely associated with risk of stroke
among hypertensive (RRs for a 10-g increase in intake were
0.59 and 0.33, respectively) but not among normotensive
(RRs were 0.88 for both) men.
In this large prospective study, we found that men with diets
higher in potassium, cereal fiber, and magnesium had a
substantially reduced risk of stroke. These inverse associa-

Retirement Planning For 30-Somethings: Managing Your Credit Score
If your debt to income ratio is high, it could cause lenders to rate you as a risky borrower, which could have a negative impact on the amount that you are able to add to your retirement nest egg, as well as adversely affect your standard of living. Failing to make debt repayments on time or paying less than the amount due could also cause you to have a low credit score. A low credit score often means higher interest on personal loans, mortgages, automobile loans and other items which you purchase on credit. Paying a higher interest rate means larger repayments; this in turn, reduces your disposable income. If you find it challenging to manage and pay off your debt, consider employing debt management strategies such as the following:
If you have multiple loan accounts, including credit cards, try consolidating the higher interest accounts into a lower interest account. Some credit cards companies will allow you to transfer balances from other credit card companies to credit cards that you hold with them. However you want to exercise caution with this method as some charge a fee for the consolidation. If the amount of fee is more than you would save in interest, then the consolidation would not be an economical solution. Some banks provide personal loans which can be used for any reason. If you are able to get such a loan at a favorable interest rate, it may make good economic sense to use it and pay off other higher interest debts.
If you have a mortgage and the interest rate is higher than what is currently available from mortgage lenders, consider refinancing to a lower interest rate. Refinancing at a lower rate would mean lower repayments amounts, which would increase your disposable income and allow you to allocate more money towards paying off other debts. If the rate is low enough to allow you to manage a shorter repayment period, choosing such an option would reduce the amount of interest you would ultimately pay. In addition, paying off your mortgage earlier could allow you to have much more available funds to add to your retirement nest once the mortgage has been paid off. However, if you plan to sell the home within a few years, the refinance cost may be more than the amount you would save in interest. As such, if you are thinking of refinancing your mortgage, be sure to compare the refinancing costs with the amount of interest that you would save.
Protect yourself from identity theft. Identity thieves often obtain credit in their victims' names and, in most cases, victims become aware of those debts when they are contacted by lenders and collection agencies. By then, critical damage has been done to their credit scores, resulting in damages which sometimes take years to rectify. To protect yourself from identity theft:
- Take precautionary measures such as protecting your social security number by keeping your social security card and all documents that include the number in a safe location.
- Never give your social security number to anyone unless they need it for regulatory purposes.
- Use complex passwords for your online accounts and change those passwords often.
When applying for credit, try to get your loans at the lowest rate possible. This should be easy if you have a great credit score. Be sure to examine the agreement terms to ensure that the rate you receive is not just a teaser rate that would increase to a much higher rate in the future. Avoid cash advances on credit cards when possible as those amounts are usually offered at a higher rate than amounts used for purchases and, in some cases, there is no grace period for repaying these amount.
You should also check your credit at least once per year. You are eligible for at least one free credit report for each credit agency for the year. Checking your credit allows you to determine if your account has been used by identify thieves to obtain loans, among other things. Retirement Planning For 30-Somethings: Managing Your Investments

David Sent Back from Battle
1Now the Philistines mustered all their armies at Aphek, while the Israelites were camping by the spring in Jezreel.
2As the Philistine lords were proceeding ahead of their hundreds and thousands, David and his men were bringing up the rear with Achish.
3Then the Philistine commanders said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" Achish said to the Philistine commanders, "No! That's David, servant of Israel's King Saul—he's been with me today for over a year, and I've not found any fault in him since the day he defected to me until now."
4But the Philistine commanders got angry with him, and the Philistine commanders said to him, "Make this man go back—back to his place you assigned him. He must not go down with us to the battle, or in the battle he might become our adversary. For how would this fellow appease his lord? Wouldn't it be with the heads of our men?
5Isn't this one David, about whom they were singing in dances saying: 'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?'"
6So Achish called David and said to him, "As Adonai lives, you have been upright and your going out and your coming in with me, in the army are pleasing in my eyes. For I never found fault with you since the day of your coming to me up to this day. However, the other lords do not approve of you.
7So now, turn around and go back in peace, and you won't be doing anything to displease the Philistine lords."
8"But what have I done?" David said to Achish. "What have you found in your servant from the day I have been before you to this day, that I shouldn't go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"
9"I know," Achish answered saying to David. "You are as pleasing in my eyes as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the Philistine commanders have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'
10So now, rise up early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord that came with you, and as soon you rise, early in the morning, once there is light, leave."
11So David rose up early, he and his men, leaving in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. Meanwhile, the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

The Closure of Trdev
Jan 23, 2009
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Jan 23, 2009
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Note that you may need a Yahoo login to view the link, sorry. I have been a subscriber to the TRDEV mailing list for many years, almost always as a lurker. Today I received a post saying "The trdev list will close on January 27. The list's archives have been deleted and the membership database will be deleted at that time." And I am glad I didn't invest a lot of time in it. The archives have already been deleted? While it's true that the list has "never been a democracy," I share the frustration of the member who said, "I am still very surprised and disappointed by the unilateral actions by the TRDEV 'owners.'" How could they think it was appropriate to delete the archives without notice? Participants on ITForum (which shared an administrator) beware.

I have new formula rx & 160mm alligator rotor that were torqued down to spec. Today when I took it for a ride, the front wheel or brake caliper was vibrating under load. Just the front though not the rear. I checked everything and it was torqued down. The rotor is not rubbing also. What could this be? Should I break it in? If so, what is the right way of breaking it in?
I found out the problem...
The brake pad was riding on the outside edge of the rotor. Please see the picture:
The rotor is 160mm and I have avid adaptor for 160mm rotors:
But this adaptor is setting the brake pads too high that it is clamping on the outside edge of the rotor. Which adaptor should I get for this rotor? Please forward me the link.

ABSTRACT Professional societies, ethics institutes, and the courts have recommended principles to guide the care of children with life-threatening conditions; however, little is known about the degree to which pediatric care providers are aware of or in agreement with these guidelines. The study's objectives were to determine the extent to which physicians and nurses in critical care, hematology/oncology, and other subspecialties are in agreement with one another and with widely published ethical recommendations regarding the withholding and withdrawing of life support, the provision of adequate analgesia, and the role of parents in end-of-life decision-making.
Three children's hospitals and 4 general hospitals with PICUs in eastern, southwestern, and southern parts of the United States were surveyed. This population-based sample was composed of attending physicians, house officers, and nurses who cared for children (age: 1 month to 18 years) with life-threatening conditions in PICUs or in medical, surgical, or hematology/oncology units, floors, or departments. Main outcome measures included concerns of conscience, knowledge and beliefs, awareness of published guidelines, and agreement or disagreement with guidelines.
A total of 781 clinicians were sampled, including 209 attending physicians, 116 house officers, and 456 nurses. The overall response rate was 64%. Fifty-four percent of house officers and substantial proportions of attending physicians and nurses reported, "At times, I have acted against my conscience in providing treatment to children in my care." For example, 38% of critical care attending physicians and 25% of hematology/oncology attending physicians expressed these concerns, whereas 48% of critical care nurses and 38% of hematology/oncology nurses did so. Across specialties, approximately 20 times as many nurses, 15 times as many house officers, and 10 times as many attending physicians agreed with the statement, "Sometimes I feel we are saving children who should not be saved," as agreed with the statement, "Sometimes I feel we give up on children too soon." However, hematology/oncology attending physicians (31%) were less likely than critical care (56%) and other subspecialty (66%) attending physicians to report, "Sometimes I feel the treatments I offer children are overly burdensome." Many respondents held views that diverged widely from published recommendations. Despite a lack of awareness of key guidelines, across subspecialties the vast majority of attending physicians (range: 92-98%, depending on specialty) and nurses (range: 83-85%) rated themselves as somewhat to very knowledgeable regarding ethical issues.
There is a need for more hospital-based ethics education and more interdisciplinary and cross-subspecialty discussion of inherently complex and stressful pediatric end-of-life cases. Education should focus on establishing appropriate goals of care, as well as on pain management, medically supplied nutrition and hydration, and the appropriate use of paralytic agents. More research is needed on clinicians' regard for the dead-donor rule.

- "Building on these findings, research identified the critical importance of including the surrogate decision maker in structured conversations with the patient about the patients' goals for EOL care [9]. Nevertheless, ACP conversations are frequently not initiated before a medical crisis because of the strong emotions evoked [10] or fear of taking away hope [11], which contrasts with empirically based research that early palliative care can instill hope [12], maintain psychological well-being [13], increase congruence in treatment preferences between patients and their surrogate decision makers [14], prolong survival [15], and improve quality of life and mood among surviving relatives [16].

Article: A Longitudinal, Randomized, Controlled Trial of Advance Care Planning for Teens With Cancer: Anxiety, Depression, Quality of Life, Advance Directives, Spirituality[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To test the feasibility, acceptability and safety of a pediatric advance care planning intervention, Family-Centered Advance Care Planning for Teens With Cancer (FACE-TC). Adolescent (age 14-20years)/family dyads (N = 30) with a cancer diagnosis participated in a two-armed, randomized, controlled trial. Exclusion criteria included severe depression and impaired mental status. Acceptability was measured by the Satisfaction Questionnaire. General Estimating Equations models assessed the impact of FACE-TC on 3-month post-intervention outcomes as measured by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scale, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Cancer-Specific Module, the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-IV, and advance directive completion. Acceptability was demonstrated with enrollment of 72% of eligible families, 100% attendance at all three sessions, 93% retention at 3-month post-intervention, and 100% data completion. Intervention families rated FACE-TC worthwhile (100%), whereas adolescents' ratings increased over time (65%-82%). Adolescents' anxiety decreased significantly from baseline to 3 months post-intervention in both groups (β = -5.6; p = .0212). Low depressive symptom scores and high quality of life scores were maintained by adolescents in both groups. Advance directives were located easily in medical records (100% of FACE-TC adolescents vs. no controls). Oncologists received electronic copies. Total Spirituality scores (β = 8.1; p = .0296) were significantly higher among FACE-TC adolescents versus controls. The FACE-TC adolescents endorsed the best time to bring up end-of-life decisions: 19% before being sick, 19% at diagnosis, none when first ill or hospitalized, 25% when dying, and 38% for all of the above. Family-Centered Advance Care Planning for Teens With Cancer demonstrated feasibility and acceptability. Courageous adolescents willingly participated in highly structured, in-depth pediatric advance care planning conversations safely.Journal of Adolescent Health 12/2013; 54(6).

- "In a survey of approximately 500 clinicians from three children's hospitals and four general hospitals with pediatric intensive care units, researchers found that participants rated themselves as " somewhat to very knowledgeable " of end-of-life care ethic guidelines and recommendations. However, in an assessment of ethical practice guidelines, many lacked awareness of key components (Solomon et al., 2005). An additional complicating factor is that in situations requiring the individualized assessment of competence and a determination of a mature minor status, the assessment is contingent on a physician's subjective evaluation. "
Article: Decisional Capacity Among Minors With HIV: A Model for Balancing Autonomy Rights With the Need for Protection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is threefold: (a) to describe the relevant ethical and legal issues associated with decisional capacity among minors and to discuss the importance of these concepts for children and adolescents living with HIV, (b) to provide a framework for assessing the decisional capacity of children and adolescents with HIV, and (c) to present a model for thinking about how to use this assessment data to guide action along the protection-autonomy continuum.Ethics & Behavior 03/2010; 20(2):83-94.

- "Finally, the decision is implemented and its consequences are evaluated. Several guidelines have been published on these different steps [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27]. In the following sections relevant issues pertaining to these steps are elaborated. "
ABSTRACT: Most deaths in the pediatric intensive care unit occur after a decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatments. The management of children at the end of life can be divided into three steps. The first concerns the decision-making process. The second concerns the actions taken once a decision has been made to forego life-sustaining treatments. The third regards the evaluation of the decision and its implementation. The mission of pediatric intensive care has expanded to provide the best possible care to dying children and their families. Improving the quality of care received by dying children remains an ongoing challenge for every pediatric intensive care unit team member.Pediatric Clinics of North America 07/2008; 55(3):791-804, xiii.

GoJo Industries recently expanded its hand sanitizer position with a new purchase opportunity — one that's mom-friendly, serves an on-the-go need and is incremental to the category — with its launch of Purell Wipes into retail.
Prevention remains a priority for consumers heading into cough-cold season, as evidenced by the sales of two brands well known for their immunity-boosting benefits.
Perrigo Animal Health in May announced its launch of PetArmor Joint Health Maximum, a supplement for dogs that contains glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and manganese. It's an opportunity for retailer's to associate their store brand with a quality pet supplement.
Is there a niche OTC opportunity on which food, drug and mass retailer pharmacies are not fully capitalizing? If the answer isn't yes, then the cat is already out of the bag — according to the American Pet Products Association the market for pet supplies and OTC medicines will grow by 4.7% by the end of the year.
Church & Dwight is leveraging its First Response brand into the dietary supplement set with the launch of First Response multivitamin gummies, which target reproductive health and prenatal/post-natal need states. First Response multivitamin gummies were developed to provide women with the recommended amount of folic acid in an easy-to-consume gummy form.
The gummy sub-segment within overall vitamins is not only still growing substantially, the dollar volume of that alternative delivery format has reached nowhere near its ceiling of potential, at least not yet. Overall, sales of vitamins for the 52 weeks ended Dec. 28, 2014, were up 0.4% to $6.5 billion across total U.S. multi-outlets, according to IRI.
Move over fellas; the condom aisle isn't just for men anymore. Well, it never was really, but as retail pharmacies become more adept at discreetly merchandising intimacy health — remember when the pharmacist had to pull the condom display from behind the counter? — there is a trend developing toward marketing condoms with the female buyer in mind.
Beauty brands are looking to ramp up sales and jazz up the depilatories segment with convenient delivery methods, enhanced formulas and a greater social media outreach.
The world of beauty oils continues to expand with the recent introduction of Oil Essentials at Walmart.
LED Technologies has teamed up with kathy ireland Worldwide to develop reVive Light Therapy. The products, launched at Walgreens.com and Rite Aid this spring, offer the latest technology in four key areas: anti-aging, uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, acne and skin healing.

The phlebotomy technician is in very high demand, so your chances of becoming a phlebotomist are excellent - If you get the proper training!
What are the next steps you need to Get Started with a Phlebotomy Career ?
Deciding to work within the healthcare sector is a solid career move. According to the Board of Labor Statistics the demand for certified phlebotomy techs will rise by about 15% from 2013 – 2020. By enrolling in phlebotomy training classes, you will be making a excellent decision to move forward in one of the fastest-growing professions in the health care industry.
Obtaining your certification in phlebotomy is one of the easiest ways to get into the medical field. By enrolling in and finishing the right certification program you can be on your way to a rewarding career in this field in as little as 4 months!
We've pulled together all of the information you need in researching what is necessary to become a phlebotomist. Our goal is to make things as streamlined as possible for you.
Enter Your Postcode in the Form Below to Get Started.
You might be wondering "What is a Phlebotomist" or "What does a phlebotomist do" and "What jobs are available for phlebotomists?" While a phlebotomist is a medical professional with training and experience to draw blood samples from patients for various lab tests, there are lots of jobs available for phlebotomists in hospitals and doctors offices as well as in medical laboratories and testing facilities. The need for phlebotomists is basic supply and demand. In large cities, more phlebotomists will be needed – in smaller suburban or rural areas the demand for phlebotomists is lower. So, most of your job opportunities are going to be in large suburban areas or cities. It is important to remember that the demand for phlebotomy techs is ultimately local and will depend on the local economic conditions.

We have used this service shop twice with almost unbelievable results. Fully expecting to spend over $1500.00 for the last visit concerning our automatic transmission problems. They found the actual problem and the bill was less than $250!!!
We would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone we know and will DEFINITELY use them in the future for all our automotive needs.
Great bunch of guys
We've been using this oil change company for about 6 years and have changed cars several times during this period. These guys are always very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with all our car needs. They do the work quickly and correctly and seem to enjoy their work.
What else can I say. I have used this catering company several times and ALWAYS been totally happy. Different office people have used them as well and we have ALWAYS been pleased. Excellent food, marvelous staff, prompt delivery, setup and cleanup. This company deserves a "ten star" rating in my book. My company will continue to use them in the future.
LOVE Credit Unions
I have dealt with credit unions since 1980 and this one is TOPS. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable personnel who go out of their way to help you. Recently had "identify theft" issue and they resolved it in ONE day. Amazing. My husband and I are 100% satified with this outstanding organization.
Pricey but nice
I received a "day at the spa" as a gift and it was nice but too pricey. The hot stones massage and the steam room was great but the other services manicure, facial, body wrap,lunch, etc. were adequate considering the price. I get a much better massage elsewhere.
We have been doing business with this pet hospital for over 8 years and the staff is outstanding. We have taken a basset hound, French Mastiff and a cat to them and they have treated them as if these "pets" were their own. Always giving us great advice, care and knowledgeable recommendations for any situation.
Outstanding facility with reasonable prices
The staff has always been supportive and friendly. I have boarded dogs there for over 8 years and NEVER had a problem with any of the care. My husband and I trust them completely with our "baby" Mastiff and everyone loves her there as well.
I found this agency through a newspaper ad and after talking with them realized they were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They found me my present job and I've been with the company almost 6 years. Since that time, my company has used them for other positions and all of their candidates have been pre-tested and qualified before we interview them. My company continues to do business with them and probably will for a long time to come.
Chuck has to be the nicest and most helpful auto mechanic I've ever known. My husband and I both trust him completely with our import car when no one else would even listen. Always honest and reliable in everything he does for us.
