Body regions:
For osteopathic manipulation treatment (OMT) services, body regions are defined as:
- Head,
- Cervical,
- Thoracic,
- Lumbar,
- Sacral,
- Pelvic,
- Rib cage,
- Abdomen and viscera regions,
- Lower and upper extremities.
Bundled codes:
Services and supplies that are considered bundled into the cost of other services (associated office visits or procedures) and won't be paid separately.
CPT® and local code modifiers mentioned in this chapter:
Surgical dressings for home use
Bill the appropriate HCPCS code for each dressing item using this modifier –1S for each item. Use this modifier to bill for surgical dressing supplies dispensed for home use.
Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management (E/M) service by the same physician on the day of a procedure
Payment is made at 100% of the fee schedule level or billed charge, whichever is less.
Reduced services
Payment is made at the fee schedule level or billed charge, whichever is less.
Work conditioning:
An intensive, work-related, goal-oriented conditioning program designed specifically to restore function for work.
Work hardening:
An interdisciplinary, individualized, job specific program of activity with the goal of return to work. Work hardening programs use real or simulated work tasks and progressively graded conditioning exercises that are based on the individual's measured tolerances. Work hardening provides a transition between acute care and successful return to work and is designed to improve the biomechanical, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and psychosocial functioning of the worker.
Link: More information about L&I's work hardening program, including a list of approved work hardening providers, criteria for admission into a work hardening program, and other work hardening program standards is available on L&I's website at www.Lni.wa.gov/ClaimsIns/Providers/TreatingPatients/RTW/WorkHard/.
This information is also available by calling the work hardening program reviewer at 360-902-4480.
Payment policy: Electrical stimulators (including TENS)
Prior authorization
These HCPCS codes for electrical stimulator devices for home use or surgical implantation require prior authorization:
|HCPCS code
|Brief description
|Additional coverage information
|Neuromuscular stimulator for shock
|This code is covered for muscle denervation only.
|Electrical osteogenesis stimulator, not spine
|Electrical osteogenesis stimulator, spinal
|Electrical osteogenesis stimulator, implanted
|Authorization for this code is subject to utilization review.
|Osteogenesis ultrasound, stimulator
|This code is covered for appendicular skeleton only (not the spine).
|Functional neuromuscular stimulator
Services that can be billed
For electrical stimulator devices used in the office setting:
- When it is within the provider's scope of practice, a provider may bill professional services for application of stimulators with the CPT® physical medicine codes.
- Attending providers who aren't board qualified or certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation must bill local code 1044M.
For electrical stimulator devices and supplies for home use or surgical implantation, HCPCS code E0761 (Nonthermal electromagnetic device) is covered.
Services that aren't covered
For use outside of medically supervised facility settings (including home use and purchase or rental of durable medical equipment and supplies), the insurer doesn't cover:
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators (TENS) units and supplies, or
- Interferential current therapy (IFC) devices, or
- Percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) devices.
Note: Use of these therapies will continue to be covered during hospitalization and in supervised facility settings.
For home use or surgical implantation, these HCPCS codes aren't covered:
- E0731 (Conductive garment for TENS),
- E0740 (Incontinence treatment system),
- E0744 (Neuromuscular stimulator for scoliosis),
- E0755 (Electronic salivary reflex stimulator),
- E0762 (Transcutaneous electrical joint stimulation device system),
- E0765 (Nerve stimulator for treatment of nausea and vomiting),
- E0769 (Electric wound treatment device, not otherwise classified),

For home use or in medically supervised facility settings, CPT® code 64555 (Peripheral nerve neurostimulator) isn't covered.
Payment limits
These supplies are bundled and not payable separately for office use:
- A4365 (Adhesive remover wipes),
- A4455 (Adhesive remover per ounce),
- A4556 (Electrodes, pair),
- A4557 (Lead wires, pair),
- A4558 (Conductive paste or gel),
- A5120 (Skin barrier wipes box per 50),
- A6250 (Skin seal protect moisturizer).
Additional information: Why the insurer doesn't cover TENS
On October 30, 2009, the State Health Technology Clinical Committee (HTCC) met in an open public meeting to review the evidence for Electrical Nerve Stimulation (ENS), including TENS, interferential current therapy (IFC), and percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT), as treatments for acute and chronic pain
Based on a review of the best available evidence of safety, efficacy, and cost effectiveness, the committee determined that ENS is noncovered for use outside of medically supervised facilities. Purchase or rental of TENS, IFC, and PNT equipment and supplies isn't covered.
The determination was made final by the HTCC on November 20, 2009.
Link: Complete information on this HTCC determination is available at: www.hta.hca.wa.gov.
Payment policy: Massage therapy
Who must perform massage therapy services to qualify for payment
To qualify for payment, massage therapy services must be performed by:
- A licensed massage therapist, or
- Other covered provider whose scope of practice includes massage techniques.
Link: For more information, see WAC 296-23-250.
Services that can be billed
Massage therapists must bill CPT® code 97124 for all forms of massage therapy, regardless of the technique used. The insurer won't pay massage therapists for additional codes.
Requirements for billing
Massage therapists must bill CPT® code 97124 for all forms of massage therapy, regardless of the technique used. Massage therapists must also use CPT® code 97124 for evaluations and reevaluations.
Massage therapists must bill their usual and customary fee and designate the duration of the massage therapy treatment.
Documentation must support the units of service billed. Document the amount of time spent performing evaluations and reevaluations as well as the treatment.
Payment limits
Massage therapy is paid at 75% of the maximum daily rate for PT and OT services, and
The daily maximum allowable amount is $89.97.
These are bundled into the massage therapy service and aren't separately payable:
- Application of hot or cold packs,
- Anti-friction devices,
- Lubricants (for example, oils, lotions, emollients).
Link: For more information, see WAC 296-23-250.
Payment policy: Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT)
Who must perform these services to qualify for payment
Only osteopathic physicians may bill for OMT services.
Services that aren't covered
CPT® code 97140 isn't covered for osteopathic physicians.
Requirements for billing
OMT includes pre- and postservice work (for example, cursory history and palpatory examination). E/M office visit service may be billed in conjunction with OMT only when all of the following conditions are met:
- When the E/M service constitutes a significant separately identifiable service that exceeds the usual pre- and post-service work included with OMT, and
- The worker's record contains documentation supporting the level of E/M service billed, and
- The E/M service is billed using modifier –25. Without modifier –25, the insurer won't pay for E/M codes billed on the same day as OMT.
Note: The E/M service may be caused or prompted by the same diagnosis as the OMT service. A separate diagnosis isn't required for payment of E/M in addition to OMT services on the same day.
Payment limits
The insurer may reduce payments or process recoupments when E/M services aren't documented sufficiently to support the level of service billed. The CPT® book describes the key components that must be present for each level of service.
For OMT services, only one code is payable per treatment codes. This is because codes for body regions ascend in value to accommodate the additional body regions involved.
Example: If three body regions were manipulated, one unit of the correct CPT® code would be payable.
(See definition of body regions in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.)
Payment policy: Physical capacities evaluation
Who must perform these services to qualify for payment
To qualify for payment, a physical capacities evaluation must be performed by:
- Physicians who are board qualified or certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, or
- Physical and occupational therapists.
Services that can be billed
Qualified providers can bill local code 1045M which has a maximum fee of $717.12.
Documentation must include a report with a detailed summary of capacities.
Requirements for billing
The evaluation must be provided as a one on one service.
Payment limits
Local code 1045M is payable only once per 30 days per worker.
Payment policy: Physical medicine CPT® codes billing guidance
Timed codes
Some physical medicine services (such as ultrasound and therapeutic exercises) are billed based the number of minutes spent performing the service. These services are referred to as "timed services" and are billed using "timed codes."
Timed codes can be identified in CPT® by the code description. The definition will include words such as "each 15 minutes."
Providers must document in the daily medical record (chart note and flow sheet, if used):
- The amount of time spent for each time based service performed, and
- The specific interventions or techniques performed, including:
- Frequency and intensity (if appropriate), and
- Intended purpose of each intervention or technique.
Simply documenting the procedure code and the amount of time the service is performed is insufficient and may result in denial of the bill or recoupment of payment. All documentation must be submitted to support your billing (for example, flow sheets, chart notes, and reports).
Note: Documenting a range of time (for example, 8-22 minutes) for a timed service isn't acceptable. Providers must document the actual amount of minutes spent performing the service.
The number of units you can bill is:
- Determined by the time spent performing each "timed service," and
- Constrained by the total minutes spent performing these services on a given day.
To obtain the total minutes spent performing time based services, add together the minutes spent performing each individual time based service.
To obtain the number of units that can be billed for these services, use the table below.
|If the combined duration of
all time based services is at least…
|and less than…
|Then, when billing, report:
|8 minutes
|23 minutes
|1 unit
|23 minutes
|38 minutes
|2 units
|38 minutes
|53 minutes
|3 units
|53 minutes
|68 minutes
|4 units
|68 minutes
|83 minutes
|5 units
|83 minutes
|98 minutes
|6 units
|98 minutes
|113 minutes
|7 units
|113 minutes
|128 minutes
|8 units
Note: The above schedule of times doesn't imply that any of the first eight minutes should be excluded from the total count. The timing of active treatment counted includes all direct treatment time.
For example, if you perform:
- 10 minutes of CPT® 97110 (therapeutic exercises), and
- 12 minutes of CPT® 97140 (manual therapy),
… you have performed 22 minutes of timed code services. This equates to one unit of service that can be billed. Since the most time was spent performing manual therapy, bill one unit of 97140.
Examples of how to document and bill timed codes
The following examples show how the required elements of interventions can be documented and billed. These examples aren't reflective of a complete medical record for the patient's visit. The other elements of reporting (SOAP) also must be documented.
Example 1:
|Procedural intervention
|Specific intervention
|Treatment time
|Therapeutic exercise
|Left leg straight leg
raises x 4 directions;
3 lbs. each direction.
10 reps x 2 sets
|Strength and
endurance training for lifting
|20 minutes
|Neuromuscular reeducation
|One leg stance,
45 seconds left;
110 seconds on right using
balance board x 2 sets each
|Normalize balance
for reaching overhead
|15 minutes
|Cold pack
|Applied to left knee
|Decrease edema
|10 minutes
Total treatment time = 45 minutes
A maximum of two units of timed services can be billed. Correct billing for the services documented is:
- 97110 (Therapeutic exercise) x 1 unit, and
- 97112 (Neuromuscular reeducation) x 1 unit.
Example 2:
|Procedural intervention
|Specific intervention
|Treatment time
|Attended E-Stim and
Ultrasound performed
|5mA right forearm
1.5 W/cm2 ; 100% right forearm
|Increase joint mobility
|8 minutes
|Heat bath to right forearm and hand
|Facilitate movement;
reduce inflammation
|8 minutes
|Therapeutic exercise
|Active assisted ROM to right wrist;
flexion/extension; 15 reps x 2 sets
|Increase motion and
strength for gripping
|10 minutes
Total treatment time = 26 minutes
A maximum of one unit of timed services can be billed. Correct billing for the services documented is:
- 97110 (Therapeutic exercise) x 1 unit, and
- 97022 (Whirlpool) x 1 unit.
Prohibited pairs: What CPT® codes can't be billed together
A therapist can't bill any of the following pairs of CPT® codes for outpatient therapy services provided simultaneously to one or more patients for the same time period:
- Any two codes for "therapeutic procedures" requiring direct, one on one patient contact, or
- Any two codes for modalities requiring "constant attendance" and direct, one on one patient contact, or
- Any two codes requiring either constant attendance or direct, one on one patient contact, as described above (for example, any CPT® codes for a therapeutic procedure with any attended modality CPT® code), or
- Any code for therapeutic procedures requiring direct, one on one patient contact with the group therapy code (for example, CPT® code 97150 with CPT® code 97112), or
- Any code for modalities requiring constant attendance with the group therapy code (for example, CPT® code 97150 with CPT® code 97035), or
- An untimed evaluation or reevaluation code with any other timed or untimed codes, including constant attendance modalities, therapeutic procedures, and group therapy.
Determining what time counts towards timed codes
Providers report the code for the time actually spent in the delivery of the modality requiring constant attendance and therapy services:
- Pre and post delivery services aren't counted in determining the treatment service time. In other words, the time counted as "intraservice care" begins when the therapist or physician (or a PT or OT assistant under the supervision of a physician or therapist) is working directly with the patient to deliver treatment services.
- The patient should already be in the treatment area (for example, on the treatment table or mat or in the gym) and prepared to begin treatment.
- The time counted is the time the patient is treated.
- The time the patient spends not being treated because of the need for toileting or resting shouldn't be billed. In addition, the time spent waiting to use a piece of equipment or for other treatment to begin isn't considered treatment time.
Regardless of the number of units billed, the daily maximum fee for services won't be exceeded.
Note: For more information about L&I's PT, OT, and massage therapy policies, see www.lni.wa.gov/ClaimsIns/Providers/TreatingPatients/RTW/Therapy/.

Note: Some of these codes aren't covered or are bundled. See these exceptions noted in the "Services that aren't covered" and "Payment limits" ("Bundled items or services"), below.
For information on "Surgical dressings dispensed for home use," see the Supplies, Materials, and Bundled Services chapter.
If more than one patient is treated at the same time, use CPT® code 97150.
Note: For more information, see "Billing guidance for physical medicine CPT® codes" earlier in this chapter.
For PT and OT evaluations and reevaluations, bill using CPT® codes 97001 through 97004.
To report the evaluation by the physician or therapist to establish a plan of care, use CPT® codes 97001 and 97003.
To revise the plan of care by reporting the evaluation of a patient who has been under a plan of care established by the physician or therapist, use CPT® codes 97002 and 97004.
Note: CPT® codes 97002 and 97004 have no limit on how often they can be billed.
Services that aren't covered
Physical medicine CPT® codes 97005, 97006, and 97033 aren't covered.
Note: For a complete list of noncovered codes, see Appendix D: Noncovered Codes and Modifiers.
Requirements for billing
Physical medicine services
Board qualified and board certified physiatrists bill for services using:
- CPT® codes 97001 through 97799, and 95831 through 95852, or
- CPT® code 64550 (payable only once per claim).
Nonboard certified/qualified physical medicine providers may perform physical medicine modalities and procedures described in CPT® codes 97001-97750 if their scopes of practice and training permit it, but for these services must bill local code 1044M. (See "Payment limits" for local code 1044M, below.)
Note: The description for local code 1044M is "Physical medicine modality(ies) and/or procedure(s) by attending doctor who isn't board qualified or certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation." The maximum fee for the code is $43.75.
Payment limits
Physical medicine services
CPT® code 64550 is payable only once per claim, and is payable only to board certified/qualified physiatrists.
Nonboard certified/qualified physical medicine providers won't be paid for CPT® codes 97001-97799.
Local code 1044M is limited to six units per claim. After six units, the patient must be referred to a licensed physical or occupational therapist or physiatrist except when the attending doctor practices in a remote location where no licensed physical or occupational therapist or physiatrists is available.
Bundled items or services
- Activity supplies used in work hardening, such as leather and wood,
- Application of hot or cold packs,
- Electrodes and gel,
- Exercise balls,
- Ice packs, ice caps, and ice collars,
- Thera-taping,
- Wound dressing materials used during an office visit and/or PT treatment.
Note: For complete lists of bundled codes, see Appendix B: Bundled Services and Appendix C: Bundled Supplies.
Daily maximum for services
The daily maximum allowable fee for PT and OT services is $119.96.
Note: For more information, see WAC 296-23-220 and WAC 296-23-230.
The daily maximum allowable fee doesn't apply to:
Physicians board certified in Physical Medicine, or
Performance-based physical capacities examinations (PCEs), or
Work hardening services, or
Work evaluations, or
Job modification/prejob accommodation consultation services.
When performed for the same claim for the same date of service, the daily maximum applies to CPT® codes 64550, 95831-95852, and 97001-97799, and HCPCS code G0283.
Work conditioning programs are reimbursed as outpatient PT and OT under the daily fee cap.
If PT, OT, and massage therapy services are provided on the same day, the daily maximum applies once for each provider type.
If the worker is treated for two separate claims with different allowed conditions on the same date, the daily maximum will apply for each claim.
If part of the visit is for a condition unrelated to an accepted claim and part is for the accepted condition:
- Therapists must apportion their usual and customary charges equally between the insurer and the other payer based on the level of service provided during the visit.
- In this case, separate chart notes for the accepted condition should be sent to the insurer since the employer doesn't have the right to see information about an unrelated condition.
Untimed services
Supervised modalities and therapeutic procedures that don't list a specific time increment in their description are limited to one unit per day. This applies to these CPT® and HCPCS codes:
- 97001-97004,
- 97012,
- 97014,
- 97016,
- 97018,
- 97022,
- 97024,
- 97026,
- 97028,
- 97150
Work conditioning: Guidelines
See definintion of work conditioning in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.)
- Frequency: At least three times per week and no more than 5 times per week.
- Duration: No more than 8 weeks for one set. One set equals up to 20 visits.
- An additional 10 visits may be approved upon review of progress.
- Plan of Care: Goals are related to:
- Increasing physical capacities, and
- Return to work function, and
- Establishing a home program allowing the worker to progress and/or maintain function after discharge.
- Documentation: Includes return to work capacities, which may include lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, sitting, standing, and walking tolerances.
- Treatment: May be provided by a single therapy discipline (PT or OT) or combination of both (PT or OT).
- PT and OT visits accumulate separately and both are allowed on the same date of service.
- Biling reflects active treatment. Examples include CPT® 97110, 97112, 97530, 97535, and 97537.
Payment policy: Powered traction therapy
Services that can be billed
Powered traction devices are covered as a physical medicine modality.
Payment limits
The insurer won't pay any additional cost when powered devices are used.
Additional information: Why the insurer won't pay additional cost when powered devices are used
Published literature hasn't substantially shown that powered devices are more effective than other forms of traction, other conservative treatments or surgery. This policy applies to all FDA-approved powered traction devices.
For more information go to:
Payment policy: Work hardening
Note: See definition of work hardening in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.
Prior authorization
Work hardening programs require:
- Prior approval by the worker's attending physician, and
- Prior authorization by the claim manager.
Providing additional services during a work hardening program is atypical and must be authorized in advance by the claim manager.
Note: Documentation must support the billing of additional services.
Program extensions must be authorized in advance by the claim manager and are based on:
- Documentation of progress, and
- The worker's ability to benefit from the program extension up to two additional weeks.
Who must perform work hardening services to qualify for payment
Only L&I-approved work hardening providers will be paid for work hardening services.
Services that can be billed
Work hardening
- For the evaluation, bill using local code 1001M.
- For treatment, bill using CPT® codes 97545 and 97546.
Services that aren't covered
Billing for less than two hours of service in one day (CPT® code 97545)
Services provided for less than two hours on any day don't meet the work hardening program standards. Therefore, the services must be billed outside of the work hardening program codes. This should be conisdered as an absence in determining worker compliance with the program.
Example: The worker arrives for work hardening, but isn't able to participate fully that day.
Requirements for billing
Work hardening
CPT® codes should be billed that appropriately reflect the services provided.
A worker typically starts at four hours per day and gradually increases to 7-8 hours per day by week four.
Billing less than one hour of CPT® code 97546
Modifier –52 must be billed:
After the first two hours of service on any day, If less than 38 minutes of service are provided modifier –52 must be billed. For that increment of time:
- CPT® code 97546 must be billed as a separate line item with modifier –52, and
- The charged amount prorated to reflect the reduced level of service.
Example: Worker completes 4 hours and 20 minutes of treatment. Billing for that date of service would include three lines:
|Charged amount
|Usual and customary
|Usual and customary
|33% of usual and customary (completed 20 of 60 minutes)
Billing for services in multidisciplinary programs
Each provider must bill for the services that they are responsible for each day. Both occupational and physical therapists may bill for the same date of service.
Billing for evaluation and treatment on the same day (multiple disciplines)
If both the occupational therapist (OT) and the physical therapist (PT) need to bill for one hour of evaluation and one hour of treatment on the same date of service, the services must be billed as follows:
|If the provider type is…
|and the service provided is…
|Then bill as:
|1 hour of evaluation
|1 unit of 1001M
|1 hour of evaluation
|1 unit of 1001M
|OT (or PT)
|1 hour of treatment
|1 unit of 97545 with modifier –52 (billed amount proportionate to 1 hour)
|PT (or OT)
|1 hour of treatment
|1 unit of 97546
Examples of billing options for services in multidisciplinary programs
Scenari: The occupational therapist (OT) is responsible for the work stimulation portion of the worker's program, which lasted four hours. On the same day, the worker performed two hours of conditioning/aerobic activity for which the physical therapist (PT) is responsible.
The providers could bill for the six hours of service in either one of two ways:
|Billing option 1
|Billing option 2
|1 unit 97545
|2 hours
|1 unit 97545
2 units 97546
|2 hours
2 additional hours
|4 units 97546
|4 hours
|2 units 97546
|2 hours
|Total hours billed:
|6 hours
|Total hours billed:
|6 hours
Payment limits
Work hardening
Work hardening programs are authorized for up to four weeks. Only one unit of 97545 (first two hours) will be paid per day per worker and the toatl number of hours billed shouldn't exceed the number of direct services provided.
These codes are subject to the following limits:
|Unit limit (four-week program)
|Unit price
|Work hardening evaluation
|6 units (1 unit = 1 hour)
|Initial two hours per day
|20 units per program;
Maximum of one unit per day
per worker
(1 unit = 2 hours)
|Each additional hour
|70 units per program
Add-on, won't be paid as a
stand-alone procedure per
worker per day.
(1 unit = 1 hour)
Providers may only bill for the time that services are provided in the presence of the client. The payment value of procedure codes 97545 and 97546 takes into consideration that some work occurs outside of the time the client is present (for example, team conference, plan development).
Time spent in treatment conferences isn't covered as a separate procedure regardless of the presence of the patient at the conference. Job coaching and education are provided as part of the work hardening program. These services must be billed using CPT® codes 97545 and 97546.
Program extensions
Additional units available for extended programs:
|Six-week program limit
|Work hardening evaluation
|no additional units
|Initial two hours per day
|10 units (20 hours)
|Each additional hour
|50 units (50 hours)
Additional information: L&I's work hardening program

- At
- By calling the work hardening program reviewer at 1-360-902-4480.
Payment policy: Wound care
Prior authorization
Electrical stimulation for chronic wounds
If electrical stimulation for chronic wounds is requested for use on an outpatient basis, prior authorization is required using the following criteria:
- Electrical stimulation will be authorized if the wound hasn't improved following 30 days of standard wound therapy, and
- In addition to electrical stimulation, standard wound care must continue.
Note: In order to pay for electrical stimulation beyond 30 days, licensed medical personnel must document improved wound measurements within the past 30 days. (See "Requirements for billing," below.)
Services that can be billed
Therapists must bill CPT® 97597, 97598, or 97602 when performing wound debridement that exceeds what is incidental to a therapy (for example, whirlpool).
Wound dressings and supplies sent home with the patient for self-care can be billed with HCPCS codes appended with local modifier –1S.
Note: For wound dressings and supplies used in the office, see "Payment limits," below.
Link: For more information on billing with local modifier –1S, see the "Surgical dressings for home use" section ("Requirements for billing" and "Payment limits") of the Supplies, Materials, and Bundled Services chapter.
Electrical stimulation for chronic wounds
Electrical stimulation passes electric currents through a wound to accelerate wound healing. Electrical stimulation is covered for the following chronic wound indications:
- Stage III and IV pressure ulcers,
- Arterial ulcers,
- Diabetic ulcers,
- Venous stasis ulcers.
To bill for electrical stimulation for chronic wounds, use HCPCS code G0281.
Link: For more information on electrical stimulation for chronic wounds, go to www.Lni.wa.gov/ClaimsIns/Providers/TreatingPatients/ByCondition/elecStimofChronicWounds.asp
Requirements for billing
When performing wound debridement that exceeds what is incidental to a therapy (for example, whirlpool), therapists must bill CPT® 97597, 97598, or 97602.
Electrical stimulation for chronic wounds
In order to pay for electrical stimulation beyond 30 days, licensed medical personnel must document improved wound measurements within the past 30 days.
Payment limits

clemastine - oral, Tavist
GENERIC NAME: CLEMASTINE - ORAL (KLEM-ast-een)
BRAND NAME(S): Tavist
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Clemastine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat/skin, cough, runny nose, and sneezing. This medication works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. By blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine), it helps dry up some body fluids to relieve symptoms such as watery eyes and runny nose.Cough-and-cold products have not been shown to be safe or effective in children younger than 6 years. Therefore, do not use this product to treat cold symptoms in children younger than 6 years unless specifically directed by the doctor. Some products (such as long-acting tablets/capsules) are not recommended for use in children younger than 12 years. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details about using your product safely.These products do not cure or shorten the length of the common cold and may cause serious side effects. To decrease the risk for serious side effects, carefully follow all dosage directions. Do not use this product to make a child sleepy. Do not give other cough-and-cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask the doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier or saline nose drops/spray).

My pals over at the SBK Live show on Real Radio 104.1. FM are currently holding a "Orlando's Best Bar" contest.
It's in the style of the March Madness bracket system and they're currently in the throws of the second round. I'm ticked that Redlight Redlight has already been thrown out of the race. And if you take a look, I'm sure you'll have very strong feelings about what bars should stay in the contest too! So vote here.
Whoever wins the contest will receive a live appearance from the show and the title of "Orlando's Best Bar." Do you know which bar is the best one in Orlando? Let everyone else know too.
Voting for this round ends Sunday at midnight. The third round starts Monday at 7 p.m.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PiperAnnette My favorite Spice mixture! We've loved this seasoning blend for over 25 years! Great on beef, chicken or pork, and salads too. Try it with some lemon and olive oil as a marinade for cubed pork, grill on skewers! Souvlaki- Greek Style. Love it, always buy it at World Market, always the fair value. February 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by NiNana Great for Salads I was pleasantly please with the quality of this product. I have not used it to cook with, but I have found it to be the perfect addition to my oil and vinegar dressing for my salads. February 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by McDonna Delicious but Loaded with MSG This spice blend has authentic Greek flavors that are well-balanced and flavorful. Probably the best Greek spices you can buy already blended. I use it on chicken, beef, pasta, on salads...just about anything is improved by Cavender's. The *ONLY* drawback, in my opinion is the MSG, which is commonly used in international spice blends. My family has terrible reactions to MSG so I can't use it to prepare their food. If they made an MSG-free spice blend, it would be awesome. In the meantime, use it generously if you don't have reactions to MSG. April 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by squiggy It's the best If I could only have one spice, this would be it. Goes on anything and adds flavor. November 9, 2011

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Australian firm Paranta Biosciences has contracted DSM Pharmaceutical Products to carry out process development and cGMP manufacture of its lead recombinant human follistatin protein for the treatment of respiratory diseases. DSM will work with Paranta both from its Groningen site in the Netherlands, and directly from its DSM Biologics facility in Brisbane, Australia, which the firm says has been designed as a blueprint for its "biologics plant of the future".
Paranta has been established to commercialize Monash University IP centered on the human follistatin protein. The primary function of follistatin is to bind to and neutralize activins, a component of the innate immune response and fibrosis. The firm claims follistatin-based therapies could have widespread utility in the modulation of inflammatory processes, and preventing or resolving accompanying fibrosis. Paranta is exploiting the Monash University IP to progress a preclinical research program focused on the use of follistatin to treat lung diseases with an inflammatory and fibrotic component. The firm says it has a number of contract research agreements in place to generate preclinical data in well-established animal models of lung disease.
DSM's primary cGMP biologics manufacturing facility is sited in Groningen, the Netherlands. The firm's new 8000 m2 mammalian manufacturing facility in Brisbane, is being constructed in collaboration with Biopharmaceuticals Australia (BPA), an industry-development company owned by the Queensland State Government, and also with support from the Australian Commonwealth Government. BPA put together the Paranta deal with DSM, and is project managing the final stages of construction of the Brisbane facility.

ZF-7074: Remove python-isms from Zend_Gdata_YouTubeOnlineTest
Several method invocations in Zend_Gdata_YouTubeOnlineTest attempt to use named variables, even though this isn't supported by PHP. For example:
$httpClient = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient( $username = $this->user, $password = $this->pass, $service = $service, $client = null, $source = 'Google-UnitTests-1.0', $loginToken = null, $loginCaptcha = null, $authenticationURL);
should be:
$httpClient = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient( $this->user, $this->pass, $service, null, 'Google-UnitTests-1.0', null, null, $authenticationURL);
It may be useful to add comments or use variables where the parameter being referred to isn't clear, but using the = operator is wasteful and should be removed.
Fixed. Fix is provided by Rob (shlumph)

ZF-4950: Zend_File should work without setting a destination directory
If destination directory is not set, Zend_File should assume that the destination directory is the same one that is returned by PHP function sys_get_temp_dir().
This way is you use Rename Filter for moving the file to the final location after the upload you do not need to call setDestionation() on the element.
In case you are rendering a form with a file element that doesn't have destination set throws: "Warning: Exception caught by form: "file_element_name" not found by file transfer adapter"
This is exactly what this component already does.
You are right. I had the ViewHelper decorator turned on. After I've removed it, the error was gone.

**2010 Pac-10 Coach of the Year**
Tim Esmay's Playing Days at ASU
Tim Esmay served as the head baseball coach at Arizona State for five seasons from 2010-14 and finished his tenure in Tempe, Ariz., with the 10th highest winning percentage in Pac-12 Conference history and the highest winning percentage among the 11 active head coaches in the Pac-12.
Esmay owns an overall coaching record of 414-329-2, including a 201-94-1 mark and a .679 winning percentage at ASU. He served as the head coach at the University of Utah for eight seasons from 1997-2004, and spent a total of 16 seasons with the Sun Devils as a head coach, assistant coach and two-year letterman.
He led the Sun Devils to the 2010 College World Series, two NCAA Super Regionals and four NCAA Regional appearances. The 2010 Pac-10 Coach of the Year and 1997 WAC Coach of the Year, Esmay has won two conference championships, set record academic marks and has helped 59 of his players play professional baseball.
In his five seasons at the helm of the Sun Devil baseball team, Esmay guided ASU to the second highest winning percentage in both overall record and conference play the Pac-12 between 2010-14. His 90-54 (.625) record in conference games and his 201-94-1 (.679) overall record ranks just below Oregon State among Pac-12 teams in that five-year span. He also molded the Sun Devils into one of the top offensive teams in the conference as the Devils ranked first in the Pac-12 in slugging percentage and home runs, and second in batting average, hits per season and RBI per season.
Esmay made academics a priority at ASU and turned the program into one of the top performers in the conference. Nine student-athletes were named to 2014 Pac-12 Conference All-Academic teams, the most in the 56-year history of the ASU program, and during the five years under Esmay, the baseball program elevated its GSR from 30-percent to 76-percent. The team also posted a program-best 992 APR rate in 2013, successfully moving from last place to second in the Pac-12 under Esmay. More than 70 percent of his student-athletes also routinely recorded a 3.0 GPA or higher each semester and 29 Sun Devils earned Pac-12 All-Academic honors between 2010-14.
Esmay's teams were heavily involved in a number of community service events throughout his tenure, including regular visits to the Phoenix Children's Hospital, volunteering at the Salvation Army, speaking to junior high students about leadership, hosting clinics and partaking in Sun Devil Athletics Department events.
He was the second-fastest coach in ASU history to reach both 100 and 200 wins, and won 33 conference series' and 90 conference games with the Devils. He posted a winning record in the 96 games he played against top-25 teams (52-44), including 19 wins over top-10 teams, as well as a winning record against four of the top teams in the Pac-12, including Arizona (14-11), Oregon State (9-7), Oregon (9-6) and UCLA (9-6).
Esmay joined former Sun Devil head coach Jim Brock as the only two managers in school history to lead the Sun Devils to the postseason in four of their first five seasons in Tempe and finished with an 11-8 record in the postseason. He advanced to one College World Series, two NCAA Super Regionals and four NCAA Regionals.
Esmay served as an assistant coach (hitting coach) for the 2013 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, which swept the Cuban National Team and became the first USA team ever to defeat Cuba in five consecutive games in international competition. He helped 10 players hit over .300 during the summer, including three that hit .375 and above. Six players recorded double-digit RBI and two had slugging percentages over .500, and as a team they knocked in nearly 60 extra-base hits while scoring 145 runs on 221 total hits.
Esmay helped send nine Sun Devils to play for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team since 2007, including one in each season between 2007-14, which is the longest streak among all schools.
ASU led the Pac-12 in First Team All-Conference selections with 24 between 2010-14, and 10 Sun Devils earned All-America honors in his five season and six were named Freshman All-America honors. A nation-best 41 Sun Devils were taken in the MLB Draft in Esmay's five seasons at ASU, five more than the next closest team in Div. 1, Florida. Esmay produced an NCAA-best 10 selections in the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft, including five in the first five rounds for the first time in program history since 1984.
In 2014, Esmay led the Devils to a third-place finish in the Pac-12, a the No. 2 seed in an NCAA Regional hosted by Cal Poly and a top-25 regular season ranking. They became the first team in school history to win a trio of three-game series' over top-15 teams and notched eight conference series wins, tied for the second most in a single season in program history. The Devils ranked first in the Pac-12 in batting average, slugging percentage, hits and total bases, and was second in on-base percentage and runs scored.
In 2013, ASU finished fourth in the Pac-12 and 19th in the nation, and advanced to the NCAA Regional final against Cal State Fullerton. They recorded seven wins over top-five teams and finished in the top 30 in Div. I in triples (sixth), home runs (20th), slugging percentage (25th) and doubles (29th), and ranked first in the Pac-12 in slugging percentage, runs scored, RBI, doubles, home runs and total bases.
In 2012, the Devils tied for fourth in the Pac-12, but were ineligible for the postseason due to NCAA sanctions. The Devils led the conference with nine All-Pac-12 honorees, and recorded four straight Pac-12 home series sweeps in 2012 for the first time since 1988 and only the third time in program history.
In 2011, ASU placed second in the Pac-10 and advanced to NCAA Super Regionals for the second consecutive year. They hosted the regional round and swept through with three consecutive wins before ultimately falling to the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, in three games.
Esmay turned in one of the most memorable debut seasons at a school in history in 2010. After being named interim head coach on December 3, 2009, Esmay made his debut as Arizona State's head baseball coach on February 19, 2010, an 8-0 win over Northern Illinois. That started a winning streak that would last 24 games, breaking the school record set in 1961 for most consecutive victories to open a season. Esmay and the Devils finished the regular season with a 52-10 record, including a 20-7 mark in Pac-10 play. Arizona State won another Pac-10 title and was the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Sun Devils would win all five postseason games played at Packard Stadium, including two thrilling Super Regional wins over Arkansas to send Arizona State to the College World Series for the second straight year. For his efforts, Esmay was named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. Zack MacPhee was named Pac-10 Player of the Year and Seth Blair was named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year, while MacPhee was also a unanimous First Team All-American.
Esmay was the head baseball coach at the University of Utah from 1997 to 2004, winning a WAC title and WAC Coach of the Year honors in 1997. In eight seasons at Utah he compiled a 213-235-1 record. Esmay had 18 of his players go on to play professional baseball, including three from his last team in 2004. He also had 27 players earn all-conference honors during his tenure. Esmay's eight-year career at Utah also saw his teams completely rewrite the Ute record books. In his first season directing the Utah baseball program, Esmay did what no Ute coach had done in 32 years when he led Utah to a WAC division title and a 36-21-1 record in 1997. The Utes posted a 22-8 record in the Northern Division that year. They also set nine school records as Esmay was named the 1997 Louisville Slugger WAC Coach of the Year. In 2002, Esmay guided Utah to a 33-26 overall and 16-14 conference record. The 33 wins is the second most in school history since 1963, and the second-place league finish is the Utes best since joining the MWC in `99. Senior pitcher Mitch Maio garnered 2002 MWC Co-Player of the Year honors.
Esmay spent ninie seasons as an assistant coach for ASU, including three as assistant head coach from 2007-09. He began his coaching career following his playing days at Arizona State (1986-87). He served as an assistant coach at Arizona State under Jim Brock from 1988 to 1990, then again in Brock's final season of 1994. He returned to Arizona State in 2005 as an assistant coach and helped the team to a third place national finish and an appearance in the College World Series. He was named the assistant head coach prior to the 2007 season and served in that capacity for three seasons.
Over his playing and coaching career, Esmay has been a part of numerous teams that played in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., including once as a player in 1987, twice as an assistant under Jim Brock in 1988 and 1994, three times as an assistant under Pat Murphy in 2005, 2007 and 2009, and once as a head coach in 2010.
Esmay was a two-year starter for the Sun Devils under Brock from 1986-87 following an All-American career at Scottsdale Community College. The infielder/catcher hit .305 (121-for-397) during his two years in Tempe with 23 doubles and five home runs. He was a member of ASU's 1987 College World Series team and was named to the All-West Region team that season. Esmay was inducted into the Scottsdale Community College Hall of Fame in 2011. He hit .397 during his career at SCC and is still the school's record holder for career doubles.
A graduate of Horizon High School, where his number 5 was retired in 1998, Esmay also coached at Brophy College Prep in Phoenix for two years (1992-93) and was an assistant at Grand Canyon University (1995) and Utah (1996) before taking over the head job in Salt Lake City in 1997.

Sun 365 Self-Tanning Concentrate allows you to turn any facial or body moisturizer into a self-tanner. And, best of all, you can easily control how much color you get by adjusting the amount you mix per use. This self-tanner contains a very high amount of dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the ingredient used in almost all self-tanners to turn skin tan without a ray of sunlight. Along with DHA, this easy-to-use product also contains the slower-acting self-tanning ingredient erythrulose. The color from the DHA begins to show in as little as one hour (and continues to develop for several more hours) while the color from the erythrulose develops more slowly, so you'll get prolonged color.
This fragrance-free self-tanning concentrate is suitable for all skin types and is also suitable for breakout-prone or rosacea-affected skin. The potent antioxidant troxreutin defends skin against free-radical damage, making this one of the few self-tanners that offers more than just color. A little of this concentrate goes a long way, and the convenience of being able to mix this with the moisturizer you like best makes it worth strong consideration by anyone who wants to look tan without exposing their skin to the sun's harmful rays (or, for that matter, the even more harmful rays from a tanning bed).

Comments about Paula's Choice Skincare Sun 365 Self-Tanning Concentrate:
If you enjoy mixing up stuff, like the 15% vitamin C booster, this is the self-tanner for you.Start with some kind of dish or saucer for the mixing. It's worked for me in a very fragrant body lotion that covers the DHA smell, and mixed into an antioxidant serum to put on my face. BTW you can do much more convincing contouring with a self-tanner than with a dirty-looking powder.

Paula's Choice Skincare At-A-Glance
Paula's Choice Skincare was established in 1995 when best-selling beauty author and consumer advocate Paula Begoun (known as The Cosmetics Cop) decided to develop her own products. Like most of us, she was fed up with products that overpromised results, cost a lot of money, and failed to deliver—or made matters worse!
As a natural evolution of Paula's personal mission to help consumers find the best products for their skin, the line has grown into an extensive range of skincare and makeup products that are formulated to meet the needs of almost every skin type and skin concern imaginable. From acne to wrinkles, oily skin, rosacea, large pores, eczema, redness, dry skin, and on and on, Paula's Choice offers a solution.
Paula's Choice Skincare stands apart from other cosmetics brands. The formulas contain only ingredients that have substantiated, published research showing they are beneficial and effective—so you get visible results. Stable packaging is another feature of the brand, using innovative, opaque, and air-tight or air-restrictive components that keep antioxidants and other light- and air-sensitive ingredients from breaking down. The line is also 100% fragrance-free, which is best for all skin types, especially for those with sensitive skin or rosacea.
Disclosure: Paula Begoun is the creator of Beautypedia and founder of Paula's Choice Skincare products. Reviewing thousands of skincare and makeup products over the past 30 years, both on this site and in her best-selling books, Paula's mission has always been to help consumers find the best products possible for their skin. The Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains this commitment. In addition, The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same rating standards and criteria, whether it is a Paula's Choice product or another brand.
Why are all Paula's Choice Skincare products rated highly? The Paula's Choice Skincare Team would not launch a product unless it was worthy of a high rating from The Beautypedia Team. Paula and The Beautypedia Team were researching and reviewing products long before Paula's Choice Skincare ever existed and consumers were constantly requesting a skincare brand that met all of Beautypedia's criteria. As a result, The Paula's Choice Skincare Team was created and uses the same research and criteria to formulate Paula's Choice products as The Beautypedia Team uses to review products.
Strengths: All products are fragrance-free; uniquely formulated AHA and BHA products; effective skin-lightening options; toners that go beyond the norm; all sunscreens provide broad spectrum protection; proven anti-acne products; antioxidant-rich serums and moisturizers; anti-aging products that work as claimed.
Weaknesses: Does not offer a complete collection of makeup; makeup shade range isn't as extensive for darker skin tones; limited concealer options.

Where to Eat
San Diego chef Deborah Schneider, 51, first explored Baja's sights and cuisine with a caravan of fellow surfers. The result was her first cookbook, Cooking on the Edge. Here she tells us about her favorites on the Mexican peninsula.
Purchase Baja! Cooking on the Edge›
Where to Eat
"When you cross the border into Baja in late spring, the roads are lined with tall cirio trees, the hills are green, and everything looks washed clean because the rainy season has just ended. My first stop is usually Tijuana, where I grab lunch at one of the famous taco stands, such as Tacos El Gordo or TJ Tacos. If you're an intrepid eater, try Cien Anos, also in Tijuana, which serves Aztec delicacies like ant caviar. For more conventional fare, head to Carnitas Uruapan, where locals dine on roast pork at communal wooden tables, and mariachi and ranchera bands often stroll in at night on the weekends."
Sights to See, Shopping
Sights to See
"Tijuana has a reputation for being rowdy, but the city is serious about culture. The Centro Cultural Tijuana hosts monthly exhibits on the history of Baja, including replicas of the first missions. I love Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral, an adobe church filled with ornate statues of saints, in the heart of the city. Baja is also known for ancient cave paintings, and don't miss the El Diablito frescoes, in the town of La Rumorosa. The winemaking region, Valle de Guadalupe, an hour and a half from the border in Ensenada, produces Chenin Blanc and Petite Sirah. Some people say it's what Napa was 20 years ago. You can stay at the Adobe Guadalupe winery, which has a stable of Aztec horses and a shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe."
Learn more about Adobe Guadalupe Vineyards & Inn›
Where to Shop
"The Mercado Hidalgo, in Tijuana, sells everything: produce, piloncillo [cones of spicy sugar], tortilla presses, sombreros. I always buy dried chilies, copper cooking pots, and fire-engine red masa grinders. If you want to escape the tourists, go to Mercado El Popo, where locals shop. Try the Real del Castillo cheese, which is creamy and dense, like Muenster."
Outdoor Adventure, Hotels
Outdoor Adventure
"San Felipe, south of Tijuana, is home to the Baja 250 off-road race, which leads up to the Baja 500 in June. The participating dune buggies look as if they're on steroids, racing at 70 miles per hour. San Felipe borders the San Pedro Martir Mountains, where you can rent ATVs or hike to the pine forests at the summits."
Where to Stay
"The Rosarito Beach Hotel [rates start at $97 per night], south of Tijuana, has been a Hollywood-star favorite since the 1920s. The wood-beamed lobby is decorated with murals of Mexican landscapes, and rooms overlook the white sand beach. La Fonda Hotel [rates start at $100 per night] is a funky 1970s roadhouse on the ocean between Tijuana and Ensenada. The spa has a decadent four-hands healing massage."

Dear Willamette Community Member,
I am very pleased to have the opportunity to introduce you to Willamette University's facilities master plan. This plan is a culmination of countless hours of interviews, discussions and feedback from a wide variety of community members over the last year and a half, and will serve as our visionary guidebook as we plan for new buildings, future renovations and property acquisitions.
This planning project, completed in February, 2009, focused on the following guidelines for development:
- Mill Race as visual focus of campus
- Edges of campus a connections to the city
- Buildings to endure at least a half-century
- Materials compatible with most-valued buildings
- Site, orient, and design buildings with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind
- Strategically preserve, expand, and consolidate green space
Priorities and sequencing of future renovations and projects will be determined based on discussions with the Campus Master Planning Committee, the Administrative Council and the Board of Trustees. The two highest priority projects that have risen from these discussions are the new Admissions building and the fitness center renovation. These two projects will likely be completed by the end of 2012. The other projects we would like to complete in the next six years are the Collins Science renovation, the East Side Commons, the Sparks Center renovation, a faculty residence for Kaneko Commons, and the integration of WITS into the Hatfield Library. All of these projects will begin as funding is secured.
I would like to extend my thanks to the architectural firm of Hennebery Eddy and to all of the community members who assisted with this extensive project. I hope you enjoy this vision.
Sincerely yours,
Robert N. Olson
Interim Vice President for Financial Affairs

Alaska Bear Lawsuit Cites Industry-Funded Skeptics
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's lawsuit against the Fish and Wildlife Service's listing of the polar bear as an endangered species relied on research funded by Exxon Mobil and by the American Petroleum Institute, the Guardian of London revealed last week.
The FWS ruled last May that the polar bear is threatened by a loss of sea ice, mostly from global warming. At least six of the scientists referenced in Alaska's lawsuit against the proposed designation question the significance of human-induced global warming, and some have taken funding from the oil and energy sector, the paper reported. They included Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and climatology professor David Legates of the University of Delaware. They co-authored a study that claimed it was "certainly premature, if not impossible to link temperature rise in Alaska with human CO2 emissions." The paper has been criticized for "relying on old research and ignoring evidence that Arctic sea-ice is melting at a quickening pace," according to the Guardian.
Nemeroff Failed to Report Drug Income to NIH
Emory University professor Charles Nemeroff, one of the nation's most prominent research psychiatrists who has extensive ties to the pharmaceutical industry, failed to report much of his industry-derived income earlier in this decade to the National Institutes of Health while he was simultaneously conducting studies for the agency, an ongoing investigation by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) revealed Friday. According to a report in the Saturday New York Times, Nemeroff accepted $2.8 million in consulting arrangements with drug makers between 2000 and 2007, but failed to report at least $1.2 million of this income to his university, thereby violating federal research rules. Nemeroff was simultaneously principal investigator for a five-year, $3.9 million study by the National Institute of Mental Health of drugs manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, from which Nemeroff earned more than $960,000 between 2000 and 2006. The psychiatrist only listed $35,000 of that income on his university disclosure forms. The NIH relies on universities to police its conflict of interest rules, although government investigators earlier this year reported that the NIH almost never monitors universities for their compliance with those rules.
In a related investigation, Grassley and Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) last week demanded that Medtronic turn over records of its payments to spine doctors who used a popular bone-graft product that has been associated with life-threatening complications, the Wall Street Journal reported. Though the Food and Drug Administration only approved the protein infusion product for lower-spine problems, it has been widely used off-label for other muscular-skeletal disorders. A suit filed by former sales representatives alleges that the company encouraged off-label use by sending spine doctors to expensive vacation spots and offering them lucrative consulting contracts and high royalties.
Reid, Enviros Blast EPA Yucca Mountain Standard
Senate majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada blasted the Environmental Protection Agency last week for its final radiation standard for the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. The agency is "casting science aside in an attempt to get the nuclear waste dump approved." Reid said. The agency claims that "the Yucca Mountain standards are in line with approaches used in the international radioactive waste management community," an agency spokeswoman said.
The EPA issued the rules in response to a court decision requiring the agency to fulfill a 16-year-old Congressional mandate that it establish radiation standards for the nuclear waste repository, which will accept radioactive waste from nuclear facilities all over the U.S. The EPA's new standard set an individual dose limit of 100 millirems of annual exposure per year between 10,000 years and 1 million years into the future. The EPA defended its standard by arguing that current average exposure from natural and artificial radioactivity is 360 millirems per year. "What EPA fails to mention is our current exposure to 360 millirems of radiation kills many thousands of Americans each year with fatal cancer," said Kevin Kamp, nuclear waste specialist for the Takoma Park, MD-based Beyond Nuclear. "The EPA decision dooms future generations to significantly increased rates of fatal cancer."
U.S. Geological Survey scientists wrote in the journal Science last June that while the repository is the best available option for storage of nuclear waste, the "fate of [high level radioactive wastes] over time frames of hundreds of millennia is not knowable."
Media Often Fail to Report Pharma Funding
News reports about the latest drug studies often fail to report pharmaceutical company funding, according to a new a survey that appeared last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In a four-year study of nearly 300 news reports based on industry-funded studies in the five most prominent general medical journals, 42 percent failed to disclose the studies' funding sources. The report also surveyed editors and found that 88 percent of them believed the articles did disclose funding. Of the editors that responded to the study survey (94 of the 100 that were contacted), only three percent have a written policy stating that company funding should be reported in articles about medical research.
UMinn May Strengthen COI Policy
A University of Minnesota Medical School task force has recommended sweeping changes in the school's conflict of interest policy that some critics say doesn't go far enough. Minnesota Public Radio reported last week that the plan, ,uncovered by the student newspaper, would ban gifts to doctors on the faculty, but would not stop them from accepting paid positions as consultants. It would, however, require public disclosure of all payments. The school's current policy considers anything under $10,000 a year insignificant and need not be reported. Disclosure "would be useful, but it wouldn't be as useful as saying, 'The payments are not allowed,'" said Carl Elliot, a professor in the University of Minnesota Department of Bioethics. "That would be much more useful." The university's 450-physician medical faculty received nearly $1.5 million from drug companies between 2002 and 2004. Medical school dean Deborah Powell, who joined the corporate board of PepsiAmericas in 2006, will decide the proposal's fate.
Odds and Ends
The US EPA last week announced a public comment period on the chemical perchlorate's public health risk in drinking water. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair John Dingell (D-MI) said in a statement that the "EPA's misguided decision not to act on perchlorate represents another stunning failure of the agency to perform its mission of protecting the public health and the environment. For more than ten years, the EPA has failed to act to protect communities from exposure to this dangerous toxin and, now, it announces that it will not regulate perchlorate".... The British National Institute for Clinical Excellence depends on up to half of its income from drug companies, the Independent reported last week. The industry is using this influence as part of its campaign to convince the National Health Service to pay for expensive drugs.... AstraZeneca, maker of the controversial lung cancer drug Iressa, has been accused of causing the deaths of hundreds of Japanese lung cancer patients. Last week, the Mainichi Shinbun reported that the company donated between 800,000 and 20 million yen ($7,500 to $189,000) to three members of the Japan Lung Cancer Society, an academic body that endorsed the use of the drug. . . . A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released last week endorsed the views of previous studies and top scientists that huge problems must be overcome before carbon capture and storage becoming a reality. . . . The White House's Office of Management and Budget has not yet released the details of the newly approved North Atlantic Right Whale rule, OMB Watch reported. The new rule extends protections for the whales, a critically endangered marine mammal species. An August draft of the rule retained scientists' recommendations of keeping shipping speeds to 10 knots, but reduced the size of the safe zone favored by scientists, according to OMB Watch. . . . The National Institute of Health last week announced it will launch a pilot program for institutions to electronically file financial conflict of interest forms and reports. More information can be found on the NIH website....

Even though the January issue is on many shelves, we posted Judy Zone of YouthLinc's profile now to promote two service opportunities with the group, which is accepting applications for volunteer trip mentors and for their friends & family trips.
Find out more at youthlinc.org.
Mission: Recruiting students to provide humanitarian aid to small villages in seven different countries and support Utah's needy through local service work.
Areas of operation: Kenya, Peru, Thailand, Guatemala, Cambodia and Utah
Judy Zone created Youthlinc, an international service learning and humanitarian program, after a trip to Kenya with her daughter in 1998.
"We saw a lot of animals on a safari, but we spent most of our time in villages," says Zone, then a high school English teacher. "When we saw the unbelievable poverty, we knew there had to be some kind of structured way to help."
Zone started thinking of what she could do to not only help, but also offer students meaningful, international experiences. One year later, she founded Youthlinc.
The overall goal of the program: creating lifetime humanitarians.
Youthlinc recruits high school and college students to invest up to 100 hours of service work, helping needy people in the community through local organizations before going on trips to small villages across the globe. The trips take students to Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Thailand, Cambodia, Guatemala and Cambodia.
Students work with locals and in-country rotary clubs on issues involving construction, clean water, secondary education, healthcare, vocational training and launching small businesses. Each student will also teach a class on a topic of his or her choice. "That forces even the shyest person to interact with the community," Zone says.
She remembers watching one student, who had been bullied in high school, gain confidence after helping an 8-year-old Mexican girl nobody else could. "It was our first year working at this school, and there was this girl named Griselda," Zone says. "She had a number of disorders, but one caused her to thrash her arms and legs around, so nobody could give her an assessment." The student started blowing soap bubbles at Griselda, and she calmed down. "And this young man could speak some Spanish, and found Griselda understood it," Zone says. "Her own mother thought she had no language skills."
The program also keeps the volunteer spirit alive at home. Youthlinc awards Young Humanitarian Award scholarships to recognize young Utahns who excel in service work, and trip participants spend nine months at a local service site before going abroad, which Zone says explains why up to 93 percent of alumni still volunteer. "After nine months, they know if they stop going, nobody will fill their shoes."
How to help:
Youthlinc's benefit events and fundraisers are listed on youthlinc.org. To sponsor a Youthlinc student or support an in-country project, call the Youthlinc office at 801-467-4417 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
By the Numbers:
12,000 Annual, local service hours by Youthlinic participants
1,000+ Number of Youthlinic alumni
2 weeks of service per trip
80 Number of Young Humanitarian Awards applications submitted each year
$8,000 Young Humanitarian scholarship money awarded annually

"She laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn". The fact that there was no room for Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in the inn at Bethlehem on the first Christmas should make us wonder. The birth of Christ was planned by God from all eternity, and the details of His birth and life were announced by the prophets. How could God forget to make room for His only Son, the Child Who owns the world, and every inch of room in the whole universe?
Obviously, God did this on purpose. There was no room in the inn because God wanted to show that His Son comes as a Savior, to reconcile a world that is at enmity with God. Today, He does not seek an inn; He seeks room in our own hearts and lives.
Please take a moment to check out my Holiday Wish on behalf of the cause Pray to End Abortion.

i remember one night me and my dad were listening to Lavina by the veils and i cried listing to it..its so hard to find great music that gets to your emotions,if its not a curse at least every ten words kids these days shut it off,i feel so weird saying that cause im only fourteen,but music has been in my life since i was younger and my dad used to do shows.everyone at that table there are inspiring to me.iv been recently trying to create my own music and you've inspired me so much.my dad passed away a month ago and when i heard ill never forget you ft john( another amazing artist) i cried especially that last verse.he was such an amazing man and was my brother my father and my best friend and your music has been a large part in copping with the pain.man i really miss my pops hope that god watches over him and that hes on top that there is no more disease and that hes alright,that hes one of the generals inside the army of the light,music like that that effects individual people emotionally is what is dying today and the insight you guys give is to good to be wasted.so again i say thank you for everything.
I am interested in Janelle Monae and her use of Metropolis on album. Metropolis was the theme to Burning Man this last year. The movie is a classic. Is her robot a good robot? or one sent from above to subvert the people underground..... I guess i have to buy the album :)

Rated 1 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 1 out of 5 by bargainshopper777 Not what I expected This doormat was not what I was expecting because of the cheap quality. Although the cost was not high, I was rather surprised on how fragile it looked and felt. The fibers are poorly put together and the overall look is crooked and uneven....sorry, I would not recommend this! September 28, 2013
