Implementation and effectiveness of 'care navigation', coordinated management for people with complex chronic illness: rationale and methods of a randomised controlled trial
Organization, structure and delivery of healthcare
Chronic illness is a significant driver of the global burden of disease and associated health care costs. People living with severe chronic illness are heavy users of acute hospital services; better coordination of their care could potentially improve health outcomes while reducing hospital use. The Care Navigation trial will evaluate an in-hospital coordinated care intervention on health service use and quality of life in chronically ill patients.
A randomised controlled trial in 500 chronically ill patients presenting to the emergency department of a hospital in Western Sydney, Australia. Participants have three or more hospital admissions within a previous 12 month period and either aged ≥70 years; or aged ≥45 years and of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent; or aged ≥ 16 with a diagnosis of a respiratory or cardiology related illness. Patients are randomised to either the coordinated care program (Care Navigation), or to usual care. The Care Navigation program consists of dedicated nurses who conduct patient risk assessments, oversee patient nursing while in hospital, and guide development of a care plan for the management of chronic illness after being discharged from hospital. These nurses also book community appointments and liaise with general practitioners. The main outcome variables are the number of emergency department re-presentations and hospital readmissions, and quality of life during a 24 month follow-up. Secondary outcomes are length of hospital stay, mortality, time to first hospital re-admission, time to first emergency department re-presentation, patient satisfaction, adherence to prescribed medications, amount and type of in-hospital referrals made for consultations and diagnostic testing, and the number and type of community health referrals. A process evaluation and economic analysis will be conducted alongside the randomised trial.
A trial of in-hospital care coordination may support recent evidence that engaging primary health services in care plans linked to multidisciplinary team support improves patient outcomes and reduces costs to the health system. This will inform local, national and international health policy.

Chronic illness is a significant contributor to the global burden of disease, with markedly increasing prevalence and associated stress on health care systems
Population ageing exacerbates the burden of chronic disease in developed countries
People with multiple chronic illnesses are major consumers of health care services
High health care costs are driven by the episodic nature of standard health services, which are focused around acute care. This model may be poorly structured and unsupported in the context of patients with chronic illness who can require multiple presentations across private medical specialists, community health, general practice, allied health, and hospital inpatient and outpatient clinics. International research over the past decade suggests that chronic illness may be more effectively treated by better connecting patients' health management from hospital to community-based services
The aim of coordinated (or integrated) care is to enhance quality of care and quality of life, consumer satisfaction and system efficiency for patients with complex, long-term problems across multiple services, providers and settings
A positive effect of community-based care has generally been shown in trials, with lower rates of hospitalisation and lower costs
Solid evidence is required of the effectiveness of care coordination to improve patient outcomes in the population. Implementation of care programs must be evaluated in a way that allows health services to gauge which of its components (e.g., emergency department, wards, discharge, community practitioners) and which of its stakeholders (e.g., patients, carers, nurses, doctors, management, policymakers) facilitate or create barriers to the effectiveness of the new interventions.
Study objectives
A randomised control trial (RCT) will be conducted to measure the impact of an in-hospital coordinated care intervention, Care Navigation (CN), on health service use and quality of life in elderly and chronically ill patients in Western Sydney, Australia. Effectiveness is based on emergency hospital presentations, hospital admissions and quality of life over 24 months. An economic evaluation examines the cost-effectiveness of CN against current standard care from the perspective of the health sector. A process evaluation will also be conducted to describe the organisational setting and context within which CN has been developed and implemented.
Design and study site
The CN study is a single-blind pragmatic RCT of chronically ill patients presenting to the emergency department of Nepean Hospital. Patients are randomly assigned to receive CN (intervention arm) or standard care (control arm). Recruitment is conducted over 10 months, and the two trial arms are followed for 24 months.
Nepean Hospital is a tertiary teaching hospital in Western Sydney, Australia. It provides inpatient and ambulatory services, and averages 580 overnight beds. In 2009–2010 it provided 28,989 overnight admissions and 19,113 day-only admissions. There were 16,562 medical emergency admissions in that year and a total of 51,414 presentations to the emergency department
Study participants
The study includes patients identified by an inclusion algorithm implemented within the patient tracking system of the emergency department, or by clinician recommendation. The inclusion algorithm identifies patients who have three or more admissions to a Sydney West Area Health Service hospital within a previous 12 month period and are either aged ≥70 years; or aged ≥45 years and of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent; or aged ≥ 16 with at least one admission for a respiratory or cardiology related condition. Patients are also eligible if a treating clinician determines that a patient would benefit from receiving CN.
Exclusion criteria are not providing written informed consent; physical or mental inability to give consent or participate in follow-up activities (e.g. dementia); previously received CN; or where language skills prevent questionnaire completion.
Consent and randomisation
Written informed consent is obtained from all patients. All patients identified by the inclusion screening process are either a) approached in person by a research officer or CN nurse to discuss study participation; or b) approached by telephone, if the patient is identified by the screening process out of hours. All patients approached by telephone are given a patient information sheet while in the hospital, and sign a 'consent to approach' form, giving permission for study staff to contact them by telephone.
Randomisation is 1:1 allocation and is conducted using permuted block design and stratified by age group (age ≥ 70, or age ≥ 45 for Aboriginal or Torres Strait islander patients). The randomisation is administered by an independent body (the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre's Randomisation Service), who are contacted by telephone for the allocation of each patient to a study arm. Allocation remains masked until after recruitment to the study. Once a participant is randomised, the research officer, the CN nurses and participant are not blinded. The research assistant collecting participant follow-up data remains blind to the treatment allocation throughout the two-year follow-up period. Study statisticians remain blind to allocation until after statistical analyses are complete.
Description of the intervention
a) Control arm: current standard care
Patients randomised to current standard care are directed through the hospital system according to the symptoms they exhibit on presentation to the emergency department. This may involve treatment in the emergency department only, or require hospitalisation before discharge. Patients could be linked with hospital and community-based health care facilities, as may normally occur in the absence of CN.
b) Intervention arm: Care Navigation
Care Navigation involves Inbound, Inflight and Outbound care components. The
Study variables
In addition to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, six types of variables are collected: demographic and other risk factors, psychosocial, hospital utilisation, community health utilisation, medication usage, and mortality variables. Outcome variables are calculated after 12 months and/or 24 months of follow-up period (Table
The three primary outcome measures are a) the rate of re-presentations* to the emergency department; b) the rate of hospital re-admissions*, and c) quality of life. Secondary outcome measures are the length of hospital stay, mortality rates, time to first hospital re-admission, time to first ED re-presentation, hospital key performance indicators, patient satisfaction, and adherence to prescribed medications.
*Includes presentations and admissions to any Western Sydney or Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District hospital.
Study size
A total of 500 patients are recruited for this study. With an expected 20% loss to follow-up, this results in a final sample size of 400, giving over 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in hospital admissions at a 5% significance level. This effect size is a rate ratio of 0.8 based on an average of 2.5 admissions per patient over a two year period in the control group, compared to 2.0 in the intervention group. The study has more than 80% power to detect a clinically significant difference in ED re-presentations, since ED presentations are more common than hospital admissions. A sample size of 400 would also allow us to detect a mean difference of 10 points on the EQ-5D scale
Statistical analysis
Cox proportional hazards models are used to analyse time to first ED presentation, time to first readmission and time to mortality. Readmission rates and length of stay are analysed using Poisson or Negative Binomial models. EQ-5D is analysed using analysis of variance, and t-tests for pairwise comparisons. Baseline characteristics, such as age, gender and severity of illness are examined. Model checking of assumptions and good-of fit tests are conducted for all analyses and further analyses are conducted as required. All analyses are conducted according to the intention-to-treat principle, and will be conducted in SAS v9.3.
Economic evaluation
The cost of CN on the health system is estimated using standard economic evaluation methodologies. Costings include direct intervention and patient level costs related to hospitalisation and primary care, specialist services and prescribed medications. The costing of health services is based on standard published rates, in particular the Australian Refined Diagnostics Related Group cost weights for hospitalisations, Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) charges for medical services and Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule (PBS) charges for medications. The measure of effect is determined using Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs), a measure of life expectancy weighted by health-related quality of life. Average quality of life over the follow-up period for each patient is estimated and weighted by survival to determine QALYs gained post intervention. Incremental cost per QALY gained is calculated between the intervention and control groups.
Process evaluation
A process evaluation is conducted to describe the organisational setting and context within which CN is developed and implemented. Interviews are carried out with individuals at several levels of program implementation using purposive sampling as follows: a) hospital, Local Health District and NSW Ministry of Health policy and decision makers; b) Nepean Hospital staff in key roles to explore details and processes of CN, as well as barriers and facilitators to its implementation; c) clinical staff with daily indirect involvement with CN to provide broader organizational context; and d) patients in the intervention arm, focusing on their experience of chronic illness and its management as a result of CN. Paired interviews are carried out with patients, their carers, and also the patient's GP, where possible.
All interviews are recorded and transcribed verbatim. Analysis is thematic, and NVivo v9 is used to assist with data management. Coding is carried out inductively based on the themes that emerge from interviews.
Ethics approval was received from Sydney West Area Health Service Human Research Ethics Committee – Nepean Campus [AU RED: HREC/09/NEPEAN/55], now Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District Human Research Ethics Committee.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to provide a mixed-method evaluation of the implementation and effectiveness of a care coordination program in Australia that includes a heterologous population and substantial follow-up period. Evidence of any improved patient outcomes and satisfaction due to care coordination are critical, given recent interest by governments. Coordinated care is becoming incorporated at the national policy level in several countries
The main strengths of this study are the nature of the CN intervention, the comprehensive process evaluation, and the design of the RCT. The quantitative components of the study utilise a
The CN process evaluation provides qualitative data to complement outcome measures collected by the trial. If significant changes in patient and health service outcomes are observed, the process evaluation describes the mechanisms underpinning these changes. An account of the implementation of the intervention, and the context of the health system it is conducted within, gives a richer understanding of the intervention and enhances the external validity of the RCT.
The design of the RCT incorporates a large sample size with adequate power to detect the primary outcomes, and a long follow-up period to observe meaningful improvements in patient health outcomes
The main challenges of the intervention are loss to follow-up, heterogeneity of the intervention received between patients, and bias in patient recruitment. Loss to follow-up is minimised by receiving consent at baseline for hospital, medication and death data to be obtained electronically from local and national health databases for the entire follow-up period. Patients are also in regular contact with CN nurses during the period of follow-up to action care plans, however, follow-up data collection is not conducted by CN nurses to minimise bias. The intervention is conducted with consistent protocols to minimise between-patient variability. Care Navigation nurses are trained in these protocols, and intervention delivery checklists are used to record intervention delivery to the patients. To minimise bias in patient recruitment, eligibility criteria are designed to capture all patients who would normally receive CN upon presentation to the emergency department, while still maintaining accuracy and completeness of the data. Efforts are made to accommodate culturally and linguistically diverse patients.
This mixed-methods study informs the generalisability and sustainability of care coordination programs in Australia and internationally. The CN trial aims to build upon these principles to provide a comprehensive coordinated care program for improving health outcomes among patients with chronic illness.

Botox Certification for Dentists Can Help Dental Patients
Bringing up the idea of Botox training to dentists may have them questioning why they need certification on this particular treatment. It's a well-known fact that Botox is mainly famous for it's ability to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, creating a more rejuvenated appearance. But Botox isn't only for cosmetic purposes. In fact, Botox has been proved to help TMJ patients.
Botox for TMJ
Dentists know that TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) affects many of their clientele. Mouth guards, wisdom teeth removal, and therapy help alleviate symptoms, but for some patients it may not be enough.
Because Botox is a muscle relaxer, it is able to reduce the muscle contractions that lead to TMJ. Nobody feels sexy with a mouth guard, and the beauty of Botox for TMJ is that it is able to last up to 5 months for clients. Even better, some clients reported that Botox stopped their grinding and clenching habits that lead to painful TMJ, which means that even though Botox is a temporary treatment it may not be needed for continual efforts.
But is Botox for TMJ safe? Yes. In fact, Botox was approved as a medical treatment over a decade ago. It is capable of alleviating migraines, involuntary muscle twitching, bladder control, and more. So although Botox is more commonly known as a cosmetic treatment, it is able of providing helpful medical uses as well.
As a dentist, you may have clients with TMJ. Adding Botox certification can help both you and your clients by offering them another option when it comes to dealing with symptoms of TMJ. The best part? You can earn Botox certification in as little as one full day of certified training at National Laser Institute.
Botox Certification Courses
National Laser Institute is the leading medical esthetic school in the nation and offers many Botox courses. These Botox certification courses can range from 1 – 12 days, depending on the amount of comprehension you are looking for.
The 1-day Botox course covers both Botox and Dysport treatments, teaching you the basics of aesthetic practices and injection techniques. We also offer an advanced Botox/Dysport and dermal filler course that covers more advanced facial areas for those looking for a higher range of skill level. Our most popular medical professional course, however, is our comprehensive 12-day medical professional course, which covers everything from Botox, dermal fillers, cosmetic laser treatments, sclerotherapy, BHRT, skin rejuvenation treatments, and much more.
National Laser Institute is a premiere medical esthetic school and is recognized as gold standard education. Botox courses are accredited by the ARRA and provide CE/CME credits to medical professionals upon completion of the course.

Tournament Pre-Seeding Results in PDF Format
Wyoming Wrestling has endured their share of ups and downs throughout the 2007-08 season. Through big wins over conference rivals and tough losses to nationally ranked opponents, the culmination of the Cowboys season will be measured by one day of competition this Saturday, March 8, during the 2008 Western Regional Tournament in Fargo, N.D. The six-team West Regional tournament will qualify 10 champions and 10 at-large wrestlers for the NCAA National Championships to be held March 20-22 in St. Louis, Mo. At-large bids will be determined by the coaches following the tournament.
Teams competing in this year's tournament include WWC members; Air Force Academy Falcons, North Dakota State Bison, Northern Colorado Bears, Northern Iowa Panthers, South Dakota State Jacks, Utah Valley State Wolverines and the Wyoming Cowboys.
"It boils down to this," UW head coach Steven Suder said. "Our ultimate goal is the NCAA Tournament and this is what we work towards all season. There are 60 guys competing for 20 spots, it is going to be intense."
The coaches seeding meeting will be held Friday night to determine all the seeds for the tournament. The Cowboys head into the Western Regional with three projected #2 seeds in (Carter Downing, 141, Cole Dallaserra, 149 and Eric Coxbill, 165) and two #3 seeds in (Cory VomBaur, 133 and Jason Still, Hwt).
In conference action, the Pokes were led by Senior's Carter Downing and Jason Still, junior Eric Coxbill and redshirt freshman Cole Dallaserra.
Coxbill finished the conference season 5-1 including two major decisions. Coxbill led the Cowboys with 24 victories and added seven major decisions which was second on the team overall. He finished the dual season with an 11-2 record including winning 10 out of his last 11 matches.
Still went 4-2 in WWC action including two big wins against North Dakota State and Air Force.
Dallaserra had a stellar conference season finishing the WWC year with a 5-0 record. Dallaserra finished the season with a 13-8 overall record and recorded three pins and one major decision.
Downing went 3-0 in conference duals with two major decisions and one technical fall. Downing will head into the Western Regional as Wyoming's only wrestler projected to be a #1 seed and he is ranked 19th in the nation at 141 pounds.

sorry I missed this. There's a couple things here I'd think about. Are you trying to become a professional in the long run? Then investing in full frame, and the lenses to match will be the most cost effective way, rather than buying 4/3rds and upgrading more later. If you're not planning on it becoming a job, then either system can work, I still prefer shooting with a better camera design for motion and speed, compared to a bit of an annoying 4/3rds layout. However, it's also way nicer and easier to carry a small camera. For the amateur, each camera's sensor will create images that will be great. It's more about the handling of the camera, that makes the decision for me

Jack, it's a combination of many things, but ultimately it's constant effort that makes it happen. In my years transitioning from amateur I had to have a constant work ethic, and an attitude that is sorta peculiar: I'm good and getting better, but I'm not good enough and have so much to learn. Both the confidence to know that I could succeed, paired with the understanding that you're never the best and there's so much more to learn. So, learn more, shoot more, read more, get more critiques, move to a region where there is 'industry' in mountain biking (companies, sponsored riders), get to know athletes and people in marketing, try things, fail at things, try again.

I take photos with friends who aren't 'known' in the way that they're not sponsored or famous. However, I frequently shoot with sponsored riders because their brands buy photos. If you're willing to leave everything behind to make your passion a living, the only thing that's holding you back is the fact that you haven't yet pulled the trigger.

Thu, Dec 5, 2013
In many European countries, the number of those who identify themselves as Christians is dwindling. The number of those who actually attend church services and have an active Christian life is even less. With atheism and agnosticism on the rise, those who are Christian often feel very alone. This can be especially true for younger generations. The country of Hungary is perhaps a bit of an exception. Quite a large portion of the country still identifies itself as Christian as of the 2001 census. However, of that group, only 3% are Lutherans (CIA Factbook for Hungary) and the census does not measure how many are active Christians versus nominal Christians. Approximately 25% of the population is something other than Christian, either a non-Christian religion or non-religious. Being so greatly outnumbered, Christians, Lutheran parishioners, and specifically young Christians, often feel lonely and as if they have no support from fellow Christians. Into this void came The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) Globally Engaged in Outreach (GEO) Missionaries Melissa Karges and Sarah Berta-Somogyi.
Melissa and Sarah serve in two different Lutheran High Schools in Hungary. Melissa serves at Berzsenyi Dániel Evangélikus Liceum és Gimnázium in Sopron, Hungary, where she teaches English conversation classes, develops relationships and helps organize the chapel times for the students. Sarah serves at Péterfy Sándor Lutheran School in Győr. Melissa and Sarah noticed a need for their students who were Christians to have more contact with other Christians. As Melissa says,
The retreats started as a seed planted in my heart during the summer of 2012. There had just been an English camp in my city hosted by Concordia University, Irvine. It was a chance for me to reconnect with a lot of students from other schools. In talking with them, and in conversations I'd had with my own students, a common thread seemed to be emerging, in that, most Christians had a significant lack of support in their lives. I really wanted to find a way to connect all of these kids, and God put this idea on my heart and sort of shaped the plan from there. I wanted these youth to be able to interact with one another to see that they weren't alone in their faith and to help create a support system for encouraging one another to grow in faith.
Sarah adds that "Melissa and I saw that there was a need for our Christian students to be put into fellowship with each other and grow as Christians, as many times they don't have any other friends who are really Christian (in name only, yes, in practice, not so much). So, we decided to get them together and the retreat was born."
Sarah and Melissa offered the first retreat in March of 2013. Students from three high schools in Hungary were able to attend that retreat. The two have also put together other informal times for the students to connect, such as their recent game night.
The retreat was held once again in Révfülöp, Hungary on November 15–17, 2013. There is a very nice Lutheran conference center there called Ordass Lajos Evangélikus Oktatási Központ. Melissa notes that the "town is situated on Lake Balaton, which is an extremely popular destination for Hungarians. Everyone likes to go there and it's the perfect environment for 'retreating.' It's not a very big town, and as it's more of a 'summer town,' there isn't much to do at this time of year. However, there was some free time to go out and walk around, and we all went down to the lake shore together for a while."
Sarah describes an overview of the weekend this way: "We tried to build a schedule so that the students learned a lot but also had time to hang out. We had four main sessions, one on Friday evening discussing the character of God, and three on Saturday: one about our lives with and without Jesus, one about the fruits of the Spirit, and one about how to apply this knowledge (especially the fruits of the Spirit) to our lives as Christian people. We also had ice-breaker games, s'mores, worship time, and prayer time." Melissa noted that the ice-breakers were a great way to get things started as not all of the students knew each other. They then broke into two smaller groups so that they could get to know each other even more closely. Thirteen students attended the retreat, so the two smaller groups were of good sizes. Melissa also led some times of worship where the students could sing and read Scripture. They also partnered up to pray for each other. Melissa says of that particular activity that "they really seemed to like that activity as we got a lot of positive feedback about it afterward." Free time was also offered where students could share their favorite music with one another, watch videos, share stories, play games and talk together.
The formal sessions were built around a theme. The verse was 2 Corinthians 5:14–15: "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised" (ESV). Melissa explains that the idea for the theme verse
came from a talk I had with one of my students (who was in attendance) about not always knowing the right thing to do. My mind immediately went to the idea of the Holy Spirit working in us and acting as our Helper in making these things clear and helping us to do the right thing. Of course, in asking the question of what should we do in our lives, we must first ask what our lives are all about. 2 Corinthians explains exactly that: we no longer live for ourselves but for him who died for us and was raised again.
She further explains
In trying to answer those two questions, we started from the beginning, talking about the kind of God we have and our broken relationship with Him that has been repaired through Christ. We talked about what it means to live for Christ and not for ourselves and then spent a lot of time talking about the Holy Spirit and His fruits. This was a new idea for nearly everyone, so it was great to see them making connections.
The theme verse and times to study the Bible were important because it is not a common practice in Hungary for Christians to read and study the Word on their own. Melissa hopes that the modeling of how to do this will translate into the daily lives of the students.
Sarah says that she has already seen some of the results of the weekend coming to fruition in some of her students. She explains that each student received a notebook decorated with their names so that they could take notes about the theme verse and the Bible studies, do some prayer journaling, and more. Sarah has noticed that "the students use them still to write down ideas about faith and their relationship with God…some of them even bring them to school!" Furthermore, Sarah has seen the students who were at the retreat respond more to the Bible Study she leads once a week at her school. She says,
some students who were at the retreat also come to a once a week Bible study that I lead, and it's been neat to see them contributing more and more to the study, asking good questions, coming to good conclusions, and being more bold in prayer. This year, we had six students attend from the same class at my school (one of the 8th grade classes). That was partly because one girl in that class has been witnessing tirelessly to her friends. I pray for more students to come to future retreats and Bible studies and to come to know Jesus, especially as these students reach out with the Gospel message.
For Melissa, two of her students confided in her what the retreat has prompted in them:
One of my students said after the weekend he is re-contemplating the idea of studying theology next year and becoming a pastor. He's wanted to do the same thing since I've known him, so the event must have had a big impact on him. One of the girls told me that she feels better equipped to make decisions in her life because she can more easily recognize right and wrong by looking for "fruits of the Spirit" within a situation.
Melissa and Sarah plan to make the event an annual one if possible. They will also likely invite students from the third school once again. This year, students from Evangélikus Gimnázium Aszód were not able to participate, although some did attend the March 2013 retreat. There is not a teacher from the LCMS there currently. Additionally, Sarah and Melissa hope to plan an international retreat for this coming March 2014 with other GEO's from the Eurasia Region (LCMS Eurasias also has GEO's in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany).
One of the things that makes these retreats a success is the work Sarah and Melissa do to prepare, as well as the way they work together. Melissa says of Sarah, "Sarah speaks Hungarian really well. This was great, for one, because she could take care of making the arrangements with the place hosting us. I think this also has a positive effect with the students because when they don't feel they can express themselves in English, they feel comfortable to talk to her in their native language." Sarah says that
I think Melissa is less cautious than I am, which is a great thing. She will jump headlong into an important discussion that it would probably take me some time to start, and the kids really respond to her. She is bubbly and outgoing and really cares about our students. We work very well together and play off of each other when we present, when we discuss…it's made me more and more sure what an awesome thing God did when He put us here to serve in the same area. And although we both sing quite well, she also keeps me on key.
Melissa adds that they work really well together because "we've both had the same theological training, and it's like we can read the other person's thoughts. If I forget something, she adds it and vice versa. We enhance each other very well in this way." Melissa and Sarah are a wonderful example of the body of Christ working together to proclaim the Gospel to others. Through their gifts and talents, they are able to reach out to students who are not Christians (or are nominal Christians), as well as strengthen the faith of their Christian students by continuing to encourage, teach, and connect them with a support base.

I live on a military base in MA. My question is, is there anyone working out of their house on base? If so, are you word of mouth or did you register with the base? I am dying to really get started but right know the only place i have to work is out of my house. i know sometime you have a different set of rules when living on a base b/c it is a federal installation. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
When I was in the military I worked for Public Health. Public Health would be a GREAT department to start with. In the military there are lots of little rules and they will know wether or not you need to have their blessing. Public Health is the department that does inspections of food facilities and of in home daycare. Most of the military homes I had to inspect were of family home daycare. Also the services department will be able to tell you if you can or cannot have a food business out of your home.
Good Luck!

7th Grade Rockin Review
In this Tackk we will review the cells in the human body, how our body's systems interact with each other, Heredity & evolution,and more to come.
Brain Cells in Use
Cell- the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism
The difference in animal and plant cells is Cell wall is Absent in a animal. Animal cells are a round shape wile plant cells are rectangular. Only plant cells have chloroplasts because they make their own food.
Muscle Cells- Contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. Muscles function to produce force and motion.
Red Blood Cells- Blood has three main functions: transportation, regulation and protection.
Secretory Cells- Cells that releases chemicals such as salivary cells which release saliva.
An organ is made of several types of tissue and therefore several types of cells. For example, the heart contains muscle tissue that contracts to pump blood, fibrous tissue that makes up the heart valves, and special cells that maintain the rate and rhythm of heartbeats.
The digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems in our body all work together. In the digestive system our teeth, saliva, stomach, stomach acid, and intestines are all key components in the system that processes food for the body. The teeth crush the food and saliva assists the breakdown of food and helps send it down the esophagus and into the stomach. In the stomach the food is further broken down by acid and then the muscles in your stomach churn the food. The food the is sent to the small intestine so that the villi can take in the nutrient. The nutrient enters the blood stream and the circulatory system. Blood fallows a path thought the right atrium and ventricle and get sent to the lungs to get oxidized and sent back to the hart to get pumped though your body again. When we breath in oxygen goes though the trachea and down in to bronchi. At the end of each bronchi their are alveoli capillaries. In the alveoli capillaries oxygen is defused in to red blood cells and travels throughout the body in the circulatory system. When the red blood cells come back around with carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide then diffuses into the alveoli and out of the body with the next exhalation. That is the respirator system.
Paramecium lives like other organizes. Parameciums are like plants because their food vacoules of a paramecium act like chloroplasts to use certain elements and convert them into energy for the organism. The oral groove of a paramecium is similar to an animal's mouth as the oral groove takes in the food substance and moves it further into the paramecium.
Form the punnet square below we can see that the two genotypes are Gg. That's one dominant and one recessive. The punnet square predicts 25% GG offspring, 50% Gg offspring, and 25% gg offspring. If the G=green flower and the g= yellow then since the dominant gene in both genotypes is Green the flower will have a 75% chance of being Green and a 25% chance of being yellow. You could also translate the punnet square to have 2 homozygous outcomes (GG and gg) and two heterozygous outcomes (Both Gg so technically just one). With this punnet square we can also see that their are 3 different possible outcomes for the offspring being GG, Gg, or gg.
offspring that result from sexual reproduction are likely to have more diverse characteristics than offspring that result from asexual reproduction, because their parents genotypes are different and in asexual reproduction only one genotype is involved and will eventually it will get to the point when the genotype is GG and reproduces itself with another GG so it will not have any new phenotype possibilities.
Adaptation- a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment.
Evolution- the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
Species- a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g., Homo sapiens.
Gene- a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring."proteins coded directly by genes"
Genetic- of or relating to genes or heredity.
Sexual reproduction- the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different genders.
Asexual reproduction- a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only
Genetic variation is important in breeding because then millions of options are available for an offspring. In animals the ones that survive have the traits that are necessary for survival so they pass on their genes to their offspring. This is how evolving works. the ones who die prove to be inferior to the rest and so their traits die with them.

1st surgery
Dr Hasan was on the floor when I went to ER and I called his office for an appointment the following day. I had been previously diagnosed with a malfunctioning gall bladder, but was having trouble finding providers under my insurance. I was able to schedule surgery the next day. I was quite satisfied with Dr Hasan's abilities.

Condescending Dr
When he saw my husband for the 1st time he spoke to him condescendingly. My husband had been in the Perrysburg ER and was told he had appendicitis and needed to have his appendix removed. We went to St Luke's and the records had not transferred over yet and Dr Hasan said my husband needed a c-scan and he should be having pain all the time not just intermittently. That would not be appendicitis. I went out and called him out on it and said why would Perrysburg say it was appendicitis from his c-scan. He said he didn't know about a scan and I said that's great no communication. Why do you think we're here? He then found out I was right. But no apology. Then he kept pushing the surgery back. He is arrogant and slightly rude. No bedside manner. After all day waiting for surgery he finally had the surgery and the dr said if he waited until the next day the appendix would have ruptured. So he could've really screwed up.

Arrogant and non compassionate
This surgeon performed to lipoma excisions on me. The first was barbaric. He did it while I was awake and telling him I could feel it and it hurt. He also didn't prescribe any pain meds after surgery. I returned to him again a year later with another lipoma on the opposite side of my spine than the last. He was arrogant at the appointment and said it was "too small" and "not deep enough " to be causing me pain.He did put me to sleep to remove it and found out that he was wrong and it was over one and a half inches of mass and so deep it was connected to bone and muscle. He never apologized and said that he had been wrong. Instead he and his office continued to treat me like a pain pill seeker. I have had 6 surgeries in a year and my experiences with him have been the worst.

The 2015 Chinese stock market crash wiped out an estimated $5 trillion in value of global stocks and Chinese authorities have apparently found the person who triggered this devastating ripple effect.
The crash, which first began on June 12, has caused a staggering decline of almost 40 percent. Individual investors have lost millions while markets across the world have also suffered greatly as a result.
And the man behind it all is a journalist named Wang Xiaolu, who has confessed that his sensationalized coverage of the stock market and stories built around baseless rumors caused panic among investors.
In the confession, which aired on China's state-owned TV channel, Wang takes full responsibility of his fabricated reports.
One particular piece written for Caijing on July 20 did the most damage.
In it, he wrote that China Securities Regulatory Commission intends to refrain from supporting and stabilizing share market prices in the future. The truth was that the CSRC had no such plans. However, local investors believed Wang's fictional report and began cashing out of the market in scores to save their investments.
The report marred all the hard work done by CSRC in the prior weeks to stabilize the market. The worst happened on July 27, roughly two weeks after Caijing ran Wang's story, when the Shanghai index fell by a massive 8.5 percent – by far the biggest single-day plunge in Chinese markets since 2007. The cause of decline was eventually traced back to Wang, who was arrested a month later.
Xinhua reports that Wang admitted that his story "caused panics and disorder at stock market, seriously undermined the market confidence, and inflicted huge losses on the country and investors [sic]."
He added that he was deeply sorry and that "at such a sensitive time, I should not have published a report that negatively affected the market." Wang further said that he had "caused great losses to the country and to investors" all for the sake of sensationalism.
Unfortunately, no amount of regret on Wang's part is going to bring back the hard-earned money of millions of people around the world.
While Wang has been caught, some responsibility also lies with the editorial team that ran his story without verifying his sources.

Welcome to the (technically second edition) of "Indoor Halloween Decorations" for 2016. Since last year I've acquired a tremendous amount of stuff. Some of the life-sizes aren't mine (Freddy, Brain Monster, and Butler) but they are possible upcoming items I may end up getting soon. Anyways, I had to put this video into two separate parts due to the amount of time it ended up being in total so I apologize for the inconvenience. Last Halloween was certainly full of animation, and I can easily say that this Halloween is OVERFLOWING with it! Link will be provided to the Second part of the video below. Hope you guys enjoy!~The Gemmy Fan

Mugshots is STILL going strong as one of my favorite bars. It's just so welcoming and laid back. I still enjoy the $2 cheeseburger n chips and $4.50...
Note to self: do not drink and review. A friend (shoutout Samuel C.) pointed out the sheer ridiculous of my previous review. While, updating the star...
This is a great dive bar that we just happened to wander into on a Saturday night after attending a wedding. It made me think of all of the cheap, dirty...
Established December 13, 2002, MugShots is the best dive bar with the best bartenders Downtown. Our bartenders pride themselves on their friendly service and our drink prices make it feel like it's always Happy Hour. We have one of the best 100 CD-Jukeboxes that you'll find and our photobooth makes it easy for you to leave your very own mugshot on our walls for everyone to see.

MugShots is a great place to escape the chaos of Sixth Street in the comfort of one of Downtown Austin's oldest stone buildings. The building is believed to have been originally constructed in 1872 by Mr. Jeremiah Sheehan, who worked as a contractor and owned a limestone quarry where the Austin Women's Club exists today. Col. B. A. Risher owned the building, which was originally constructed as a house, and it soon became the offices and boarding house for the New Orleans stagecoach, which he operated at 6th and Neches. In 1886 a widow, Fannie Davis, purchased the building and opened a brothel. From 1950 - 1964 the building was known as the Californian Hotel and was a popular place for traveling musicians to stay. Through the years a few people have seen 'The Lady in the Blue Dress' and because of that, we've been featured in a few books and on the Austin Ghost Tour.
We can host your major events, such as: birthday parties, company holiday parties and happy hours, SXSW events and large group gatherings. MugShots has a full bar, pool table, cellphone charging station, smoking patio, a photobooth and accepts major credit cards. Feel free to leave your photobooth pictures on the walls by the bar.

Clive Palmer, one of Australia's richest men, has commissioned a Chinese state-owned company to build a 21st Century version of the Titanic.
The mining billionaire told Australian media that construction will start at the end of next year.
It would be ready to set sail in 2016.
The plan, he added, is for the vessel to be as similar as possible to the original Titanic in design and specifications, but with modern technology.

About Trivia
Minato did create the rasengan as a child, didn't he? So, i think that reason is a bit wrong. I remember watching an episode in which Jiraya arrived to the village and child Minato ran to him saying he developed a new technique. But i may be wrong. What do you think?--Neazta (talk) 16:58, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
- It was never stated when Minato created the Rasengan. I mean, he was a genius, but I doubt that he created it as a child. I'd guess he was around 18 to 20 when he came up with it. • Seelentau 愛 議 17:09, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
Tobi tells Konan that Izanagi is an Uchiha clan technique that can only be used if one possesses both Senju and Uchiha lineage. While I'm aware Obito has Hashirama Senju cells, the Izanagi page states that Izanagi (along with Izanami) was created by the Uchiha clan themselves; also, didn't Madara obtain Hashirama Senju's cells during the battle at the Valley of the End, the very same battle he used Izanagi to "rewrite" his own death? How would he have been able to use Izanagi if he didn't have Senju DNA at the time?
Or is this simply something that Tobi told Konan that's not true at all, like how he calls himself Madara when he's really Obito? Appreciate any answers, since I was going to add it in the trivia but refrained; wasn't sure. Murali9395 (talk) 01:53, October 4, 2016 (UTC)

I think we hurt because of what we expect out of life, people and things.
If we expect a dress to last until, say, we pass it down to our daughter and it doesn't we hurt.
If we expect that we'd be our own bosses, or making six figures before the age of 30 and we don't we hurt.
If we expect that we'd be snuggled with our forever-ever-after in our own home with 2.5 kids, a dog and a picket fence at age 25 and this doesn't happen, we hurt.
I think that most things that hurt us do so because of what we expect out of them and I'm also aware that it seems we need to expect some teensy bit out of life in order to live a certain way, but I try not to expect too much of people and things because firstly, who am I to expect that life, people and things would go the way I want them to go.
I'm learning to change my vocabulary from "I expect" to "I hope"
For instance, after last night's rainfall, I hoped it wouldn't rain today and thought it a good opportunity to wear this light.
breezy red shirt instead of black, you know, just to brighten the day.

The teaser of Ram Charan Teja starrer 'Dhruva' was released recently and the date for the trailer launch has been locked in for October 11, 5 pm. The telugu film that stars Yaariyan fame Rakulpreet Singh and Arvind Swami along with Ram Charan is an action packed entertainer.
As soon as the announcement was made by the team, the fans went crazy and so did the social media. Directed by Surender Reddy, Dhruva is an official remake of the Tamil blockbuster "Thani Oruvan".
From its teaser only, the film looks gritty and powerful and so does Ram Charan in his 'Mega power star' avatar. He is playing the role of Indian Police Service officer nad looks every bit of it from his body language. Ram Charan went on a full veggie diet to get this look.
With the tagline 'The Hunt Begins', the film is all about a chase between a honest cop and a scientist who runs an illegal medical syndicate and controls the entire administration. The film's trailer is much talked about already with music being a highlight to it. The hip hop music by Tamizha duo will embark the launch. On the eve of Vijaydashmi, the fans are elated as the date also marks two decades of South superstar Pawan Kalyan in the industry.

Louisiana-Monroe and LSU square off in season opener
BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU coach Nick Saban didn't even attempt to characterize the No. 14 Tigers' opener against Louisiana-Monroe as a tough test.
When LSU takes the field against the Indians Saturday night it should be little more than an easy way to start the season with a victory.
"I'm gonna spare you all the accolades about the other team that we're playing," Saban said. "We're not going to be underdogs in this game. Everybody is going to expect us to win. I hope that the players have the proper respect for the people we're playing against. We certainly do as coaches."
The Tigers should show that respect by playing Louisiana-Monroe the same way they play Southeastern Conference opponents, Saban said.
"Motivation, for us, needs to be at the top of our pyramid of success. It says, 'Be A Champion.' Well, to me, champions get motivated to play at a certain level all the time, and that's the challenge," Saban said.
The opener will give LSU a chance find out some key things about this year's team.
There will be nine new starters on the field. There will also be a group of freshmen getting their first college experience.
Among the big questions will be how the running game performs now that LeBrandon Toefield and Domanick Davis are gone, and if quarterback Matt Mauck is ready to play after last year's injury.
Mauck will be starting for the first time since he hurt his foot against Florida on Oct. 12.
UL-Monroe, 3-9 last season and 6-28 over the last three years, is rated among the worst of the 117 teams in NCAA Division I-A.
Charlie Weatherbie, the Indians fourth coach in the past year, hopes Louisiana-Monroe can build on the second half of last season. After dropping 22 of 24 games over the last two-plus seasons, the Indians won three of their final seven final games last year, including a 34-10 rout of Louisiana-Lafayette in the season finale.
"There is not going to be a lot of change in what we do, schematic-wise," said Weatherbie, who has had only four months to work with the team. "About the only difference is going to be an attitude change."
The Indians, with six new starters, will have their share of youth in the two-deep with seven freshmen and five sophomores rated among the top 22.
They will also have 16 starters back, including quarterback Steven Jyles, wide receiver Mack Vincent, linebacker Maurice Sonnier and safety Chris Harris.
Sonnier, was the preseason Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year last season, but broke his ankle against Arkansas State and missed the rest of the season. Harris is a preseason all-Sun Belt selection after leading the team in tackles with 127 last season.
"Coach brings a winning attitude," Harris said. "He's brought successful programs up from the bottom. He's shown us that there is one way to spell fun - W-I-N. So we have a very winning attitude around here and we are ready to get playing."

Calcutta, May 10: Calcutta Customs did an East Bengal, when the BHA League champions finished the competition on an unhappy note.
East Bengal lost to Salgaocar after winning the National Football League. In their last match against CESC at Mohun Bagan ground, Customs not only lost 0-1, some of their players were involved in a scuffle that prompted the mounted police to intervene.
It all started in the 68th minute when Customs player Ayaz Ahmed was shown yellow card by the umpire Arup Goswami. Ahmed snatched the card and threw it away. That incident resulted in rival players being engaged in fisticuffs, and the mounted police rushed in to control the situation.
The BHA authorities said they are waiting for the umpires report, on the basis of which appropriate action will be taken.
CESC won the match, courtesy an Anil Ekka strike in the 18th minute. CESC logged 28 points from 11 games while Customs finished the league on 30.

lol matt, we know you'll be there, we'll try to make it a minivan free event.
for you slower guys, im pretty generous with rides as are most of the faster guys, so if your nice and you spot the faster cars, im sure you can just hop in.
bear mountain sounds like a good idea, i havent been there in a long time
Paul- we wont miss spring valley because spring valley is late. besides i havent been seeing you up there.
lets go ahead and try to set it up for Feb 8th (so infamous can actually go to a meet! LOL) if you give any excuses this time, your not going to hear the end of it. btw, does anyone know if any other clubs etc would have something going on the same day? guess we'll have to search around.
feel free to bring whatever cars, it doesn't have to be subaru.
the problem is the hours that it is light out. i wouldnt want a whole bunch of subarus flying around bear mountain....in the dark. thats asking for animals to appear in the middle of the road. so it would have to be while its light. its a shame that its not the summer, because than we could plan it even at 7 and it would be light tiil 9.
anymore ideas?
Wrx2nv, your going to have to show me how your car does the twisties. I have a feeling with my car your going to hear alot of tire squeeeeeling.
And i'll have to invite my dad out since he is a rex owner as well and never goes to any meets or anything. (maybe joe can inspire him to modify the car) too bad he'd rather modify the house
should i ask other groups, as in my old dtmpower crew/bimmer forums?
also do we need permission for this sort of thing? or can we all just show up. if you've done this before, just let me know. heck maybe we should get a paintless dent removal guy come as well. im sure there are quite a few scoobies with some winter drift dings.

It has been ages since we have been waiting to see Tanu out of the Mehra mansion and Abhi's life in KumKum Bhagya. However, the lady has been sticking to Abhi all the time. From being a gf to being a unwedded mother of Abhi's kid, the woman has used all the tricks against Abhi and Pragya.
However, soon she'll be out of the house. Yes, you heard that right.
Tanu Will Fall in Pragya's Trap
The cat and mouse game will continue but this time the victim will be Tanu. Yes, fans of Zee TV's Kumkum Bhagya there is an interesting drama ahead, you just have to wait a bit.
Well, we saw how Tanu (Leena Jumani) fell into Pragya's (Sriti Jha) trap and even gave Rs 5 lakhs to Abhi (Shabbir Ahluwalia) for Dadi's treatment. This step by Pragya is a trap. Yes, Pragya is all set to turn Abhi Against Tanu.
Pragya Will Expose Tanu in Front of Abhi
Yes, in the coming episode, an alarmed Pragya would use all these notes to collect proof against the evil Tanu. At a right time, Pragya will also be able to expose Tanu in front of Abhi. She will ensure that she rips off Tanu in front of him and that too in style without being guilty or ashamed.
Tanu will be helpless and clueless. After all, she will have nothing to defend this time.
Abhi Will Throw Tanu Out of the Mehra House
After Pragya will expose Tanu in front of Abhi, he will get really angry. Highly agitated, the rockstar will then throw out Tanu from his house. Yes, you heard that correct. Tanu will finally be out of the house but not for many days as she will soon plan to re-enter the house by using her own tricks and get into the house somehow.
Tanu would Try to Win the Family's Sympathy
Tanu knows that she can easily turn the family her side by gaining their sympathy. No wonder, they are very emotional bunch who can easily melt over other people's problems. This is the reason, why she will now fake a leg injury and try to gain sympathy of Abhi's family members.
Will Pragya and Abhi Allow Her Inside Again in Kumkum Bhagya?
Though we are happy that Tanu is out of Mehra house in Kumkum Bhagya, we just hope she is not allowed inside again. The reason being if she makes a re-entry it will surely be trouble for everybody including Abhi. The lady will make plans against Pragya and try to bring Abhi on her side by her emotional drama. We all know what a draamebaaz the girl is!
Let's us just hope Tanu remains out and we get to see Abhay and Pragya's love story

Like His Major, Hokies QB Glennon Is All Business
Wednesday, August 16, 2006
BLACKSBURG, Va., Aug. 15 -- Sean Glennon made himself wait up. Sure, he was only in third grade, and, yeah, the clock crept toward 11 p.m. But Glennon had his routine, and he was going to stick with it, bedtimes be hanged.
He loved football and wanted to be a quarterback someday, and he realized work had to be done for that to happen. Every night, he did 100 sit-ups, 50 push-ups and 10 pull-ups, only his small arms couldn't handle the pull-ups alone. His father, John, had to help him.
So Glennon sat in his room -- the posters of Emmitt Smith and Michael Jordan hanging in the background -- and waited for his father to come home from a late dinner with Sean's mother. Finally, around 11, John arrived in Sean's room, where a small pull-up bar stretched across the door frame.
Glennon hoisted himself up as his father held him, and they started counting, all the way to 10. Then, and only then, would Sean go to sleep.
"He knew," John Glennon said. "He had a plan, even at a young age."
Glennon is 20 now, and everything is still going according to plan. After an offseason of competing with Ike Whitaker and Cory Holt for the chance to start at quarterback, Coach Frank Beamer announced Sunday that Glennon had won the job. Glennon, a redshirt sophomore, earned the role thanks to an accurate arm, deceptive athleticism and sound decision-making. But he also won it because of the same driven work ethic and meticulous attention to detail he has always had.
"I guess it's just how I was born," Glennon said. "I just like things in order. I like knowing where things are. Even now in college, I hate messy rooms."
His major is finance, so technical that it suits him perfectly. Growing up, Glennon always had the cleanest room in his house. He made his bed every morning from the time he was 5 years old, with no pleading from his parents.
John Glennon would find lists Sean made of his 20 favorite football players, ranked in a constantly updated order, lying around the house. And that wasn't enough; Sean Glennon would ask everyone their favorite football players. He asked houseguests. He asked opposing base runners from center field during Little League games. He knew his list; shouldn't they?
"He sees life in black in white," John Glennon said. "He just has a very analytical mind."
But one not devoid of passion. When Glennon lost a game of cards or Monopoly as a kid, he would throw a tantrum. If he lost a shooting contest before a basketball practice in high school, he stayed mad the whole practice. He sometimes wakes up his roommate, wide receiver Justin Born, in the middle of the night, screaming at his television because he lost a video game.
"He's one of the most competitive guys I know," Born said.

The 2014 Lexus CT 200h faces competition from a wider range of hybrid vehicles than it did four years when it was launched. But its 42-mpg combined gas-mileage rating seems to be close to what owners get in the real world--which can't be said about newer competitors like the Ford C-Max Hybrid, recently lowered from 47 mpg to 43 mpg after a firestorm of owner complaints.
The most luxurious editions of the C-Max, or the Fusion Hybrid that uses the same powertrain, may offer competition to the CT 200h. They're larger and more capacious vehicles, but they lack the Lexus name--and the much more pleasant service and accommodation offered by the whole Lexus dealer experience.
Real-world mileage is a tricky thing. Drive the Lexus CT hard all the time, and real-world mileage could plummet into the high 20s or low 30s. But we expect most people will get close to the EPA rating of 42 mpg city, 41 mpg highway. Our own road tests have delivered numbers from the high 30s into the mid 40s, depending on how the CT was used.

A couple of weekends ago I attended the opening reception for DC artist Ellyn Weiss at the Montpelier Arts Center in Laurel, Maryland. The show, called "I Can't Make Up My Mind" covers a wide range of Ellyn's recent works, from mono prints, to sculpture to gigantic mixed-media drawings/paintings, and is truly a feast for the eyes. You can see just how busy Ellyn has been over the past few years, and her sense of play, experimentation, color and composition is pretty impressive, especially when seeing it all together in one big, beautiful space. I was fortunate enough to meet Ellyn, and later learn of her work when she attended an art workshop I held at Art Enables a few years back, and I had been meaning to attend one of a number of her open studio and art exhibits since. I'm so glad I finally made it out to one, and this one in particular, at such an amazing center, where a couple more extraordinary art openings were also going on that day. The show runs through May 31, 2015.
On a small side note, being this was my first time visiting the center, I was intrigued by the charming little art library set up in the center's silo. I posted some pics below for your enjoyment.
