How do I make additions, changes, and deletions to the organizational (bluepages) listings in the electronic phonebook directory?
To access the UAB Electronic Directory, go to http://www.uab.edu/phonebook.
In the row of buttons towards the bottom of page, locate and click the green button labeled Authenticate.
On the page that appears, enter your Blazer ID and Password.
Note:If you do not have a BlazerID or have forgotten your Blazer ID and/or password, you must complete the BlazerID password reset form at http://www.uab.edu/blazerid or contact AskIT at 996-5555.
Click the "Login!" button
You will be directed to the UAB Electronic Phonebook page. Note the three search parameters available to you. By default, the directory searches "all listings" that "match" the name you type in.
Type the name of your entity in the textbox.
Click the "Go!" button. Your search may return several entities. Find the correct one and click on its name to continue to its directory page. The entity's page should appear similar to the example below.
Depending on your permissions, you may or may not see all of the red buttons above. However, if you do not see the red Bluepages button, please consider the following:
- Make sure you authenticated (signed in with BlazerID and password). If you haven't, you should see the green Authenticate button on the page. Click on that to sign in.
- Make sure you are viewing an entity, not an individual. Sometimes, there are several entities and individuals with related names. Conduct a new search by clicking on the green New Search button. Type in a more general name (for example, "Campus Directory" instead of "UAB Campus Directory"). The search should return more listings. Look under the Entity section of the return list for the correct listing, and click its name.
- If you are still having trouble, you may not have permission to add, edit or delete bluepage listings.
1. To Add a Listing: Click on the red Bluepages button . The bluepage listings page (below) will appear. Towards the top of the page, locate the Insert new listing section.
Type the contact's Social Security number or BlazerID. Click "Add!" The Add Blue Pages Listing page will appear. Type in the additional information and click "Add!" again.
By default, the new add will appear first in the listing. However, you may change its position in the Changing listing(s) order section of the page (above). Click "Move it!" to complete the change.
2. To Change a Listing's Information: Click on the red Bluepages button , scroll down, and locate the name of the contact. Click on the contact's social security number to edit his/her information.
However, please recognize what you can and cannot do. Fields with Blue buttons can be modified on-line and will display a text box. Fields with Red buttons are NOT modifiable on-line and are provided from official UAB records.
- If you are an UAB employee and wish to make changes to fields with Red buttons, updates must be submitted through the departmental HR officer via an Oracle ACT Data change form.
- You can click on the help icon next to each field to determine which office supplied the particular information.
Click "Change!" You will be directed back to the listing.
3. To Delete a Listing: Click on the red Bluepages button , scroll down, and locate the name of the contact you wish to delete. Click on the contact's social security number to bring up the edit information page.
Locate the Check box to delete listing checkbox and click to select the box.
Click "Change!"
f that person is authorized at a higher level, there will not be a "Change!" button displayed. It will have to be unchecked by a person at a higher level.
If no other changes are needed, then you MUST select the "END SESSION" button at the top of the screen to logout of the record.

Class Email Distribution Service (CEDS)
CEDS provides a mechanism to easily send email to an entire class or group of classes. This page is intended to answer questions you may have about the service. If you have any problems or unresolved queries, please let us know at email@example.com.
Who can use the service?
To send an email to a class, you (normally) must be listed as an instructor for it in the Banner database, and you must also have a BlazerID with a valid forwarding address registered in the UAB Electronic Phonebook. You can visit BlazerID Central if you have any questions about the latter.
If you need to post a message to a class you are not teaching, or if you have a need to send a broadcast announcement to all or several of the classes in a given department, this capability is now available. Please see the section below titled "Can I post to classes I am not teaching?" for more details.
What are the benefits of the service?
- There is no need to predefine broadcast or discussion lists for classes. You can send to the class at any time prior to or during the semester without any special arrangement.
- All of the class lists are maintained dynamically based on nightly rosters received from Banner. It is not necessary to manually create or maintain the lists through a separate server, in an addressbook, etc.
- Students who enroll for a class (and who have or register a BlazerID) get access to the e-mail the following day.
- Students who drop a class are automatically removed from the list the following day.
How do I use the service?
In its simplest form, e-mail is sent to email@example.com. For example, if you are teaching EE 123, then sending to email@example.com will distribute the message to all students in that class. Note that spaces should not be included, as they are often interpreted by e-mail clients to indicate separate addresses.
Will the message reach all of my students?
The message will be distributed to all students who have registered a BlazerID and forwarding e-mail address in the UAB Electronic Phonebook. The service will send back an e-mail to let you know who does not, so you can work with them individually to get set up. Remember that you can always refer them to BlazerID Central, http://www.uab.edu/blazerid for more information.
The ROSTER keyword can be used to request that the service attach a list of the students who were (or would be) sent the message. ROSTER is described more fully in the Processing Options section below.
Do I receive an acknowledgement that my message has been delivered?
The service always returns a courtesy notice to let you know the status of your message delivery. If, as noted above, some of your students do not have BlazerIDs, the message will list them. If there is any other problem related to the service, that will be indicated. Otherwise, it should simply let you know it was successfully processed.
The ECHO keyword can be used to request that the service send you a copy of your message through the same route as it is distributed to your students. ECHO is described more fully in the Processing Options section below.
Is there a way to get a list of my students who do not have BlazerIDs?
An easy way to do this is to use the TEST keyword. For example, if you are teaching EE 123 and want to see who all would not receive your e-mails, you can send a trial message to firstname.lastname@example.com. The message will not actually be distributed, but you will still receive the courtesy notification described above, including the list of students who are not fully registered in the Electronic Phonebook. We highly recommend you do this at the start of the term (or just before) so you can be sure everyone is up to speed.
TEST is described more fully in the Processing Options section below.
What if I am teaching different sections of the same class?
In order to avoid confusion, the service will not deliver to multiple sections of the same class, unless specifically directed to do so. If the service detects any confusion about this, it will not distribute the e-mail and will return a courtesy message outlining the problem. There are Criteria Options (described below) you can use in the @class.uab.edu address to clarify the exact intent.
What if I and others are teaching different sections of the same class?
When the service assembles its distribution list, it only considers which course sections you specifically are teaching. If you are only teaching one section of EH 101, then when you send to email@example.com, it will go only to that section and not any taught by other instructors.
How long are the class lists available?
A class list comes into being the night of the day that students are allowed to register for it. The list "disappears" about a month (35 days) after the official class end date as listed in Banner.
A student just registered for my class, how long until they can receive mail from the list?
Class rosters are updated in the Phonebook overnight from Banner. That means if the student registers today, they will be able to receive e-mail distributed to the class tomorrow. Remember, they must have a BlazerID and forwarding address on record in the Phonebook.
Will the service let me post from a non-UAB(.edu) address?
Your messages to the class list must come from either (a) your listed @uab.edu address or (b) from the mailbox listed as your forwarding address in the Electronic Phonebook. If your @uab.edu mail is being forwarded to an off-campus service such as Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc., the service should accept posting from there.
What stops someone from forging a post from me?
In order to provide the most expedient and widely usable implementation of this service, it currently has only a minimum amount of security placed on it. One of the reasons for the courtesy notification is so that you will know if someone distributes a message to your class that you did not intend. Further security and verification measures will become available in the future.
Can students post to the class list?
If you do nothing at all, then no. By default, only the instructor(s) for a class is/are allowed to post through the service. However, there is a way to tailor your list so the students can send to the class as well. They will need to be listed in Banner as registered students for the class, and will be subject to the same requirements as for an instructor to post. To request this option for your class, send an e-mail to email@example.com.
What if there are multiple instructors for a class?
Each instructor as listed in the Banner database has equal privileges to send to the class list.
What are the processing options?
As noted above, the simplest form of using the service is by sending e-mail to email@example.com. This by default causes the system to:
- Distribute the e-mail to all students in the indicated class.
- Send you a courtesy message informing you of the successful distribution, along with a list of the students (if any) who did not receive it because they do not have a BlazerID or forwarding address.
Processing Options are special keywords which can be added to the address in order to modify this behavior. These can be added either before or after pfxnum, with a hyphen separating them, and can be used together and in combination with the keywords described in other sections of this document. The order of the keywords is not important, so that email@example.com is the same as firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have any questions about the use of these optional keywords, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
|Requests that in addition to the courtesy message described above, the service should send you a copy of the message you posted. This will be routed through the same delivery mechanism which is used to distribute the message to your students. This can be useful if you suspect either that the service is not operating properly, or that your e-mail is somehow being damaged in transit (e.g., your students claim your attachment is unreadable.)
|Requests that in addition to listing the students who did not receive your message distribution, the courtesy message described above should also include a roster of the students who did. Note that this only means the service will send out the message to the students listed; if their mailbox is over quota or if they have an inactive address on file in the Phonebook, they may still not receive it.
|Requests that the courtesy message include the class identifier in its subject line. This can be useful if you send off several e-mails at one time, or if your request may possibly be distributed to multiple classes.
|Requests that the service perform all actions as it normally would for the message, but that it not actually be delivered to the students. If TEST and ECHO are both specified, you will receive a copy of the message but the students will not. It can be useful to combine TEST with other options prior to sending out a message for real, to ensure it will be distributed as you intended. As noted above, it is also a good way to get a list of your students without BlazerIDs so they can be individually encouraged to do so if desired.
What are the criteria options?
As noted above, the majority of your interaction with the service should be as simple as sending an e-mail to email@example.com. However, in cases where you are teaching multiple sections of the same course, or teaching the same course over multiple semesters, it will be necessary to clarify exactly which class(es) your e-mail is to address. You can accomplish this by adding one or more of the keywords in the following table.
The order of most keywords is not important; that is, firstname.lastname@example.com is the same as email@example.com. (Two exceptions are the ALL and MY keywords, which must be listed first.) Also, multiple keywords can be used to narrow down the class, as in firstname.lastname@example.com. These can be used in conjunction with the keywords described under Processing Options.
Like all tools with lots of possible knobs and buttons and levers, we know this can be confusing to sort out just from what is written here, so please do not hesitate to contact us at email@example.com for further assistance if you find yourself needing to use these options.
|As noted above, the service will normally reject a posting which matches multiple classes. Specifying ALL will override that and build its mailing list from all course sections matching the criteria. The ALL keyword is required in almost all circumstances where the service is expected to match multiple classes with a single address. If you use ALL, it must be the first keyword listed.
|Used to request that only class section(s) in the specified semester should be matched.
|Used to request that only the specific class section should be matched. Ex: EH101-4C
|Used to request that only class section(s) being taught in the specified 4-digit year should be matched. Ex: 2003-EE123
|Used to request that only class section(s) being taught in the specified year and semester should be matched. 4-digit year plus tt of 30 (Spring), 40 (Summer) or 50 (Fall). Ex: 200330-EE123
|Used to request that all classes matching the other criteria should be selected, regardless of which semester they are being taught. Ex: ALL-TERMS-EE123 would send the message to all EE123 you are teaching, regardless of year and term. Note that the ALL keyword is required when TERMS is specified.
|Used to request that the message be delivered to all of the classes you are teaching. This is useful when passing along announcements of general interest to all of your students. If you are teaching classes in multiple semesters, it will be necessary to use one of the other Criteria Options above so the service knows for sure which classes to select. Note that ALL, MY and CLASSES are all required keywords to select this option, and must be specified in that order.
|Used to request that the message be delivered to all of the classes with the course prefix pfx. Ex: ALL-EE-CLASSES would be posted to all students in all EE courses. Note you must have special approval to use this option; for more details, see the Can I post to all classes taught by my department? section below.
|Used in conjunction with CLASSES to specify the message should only be delivered to courses at the specified level. UNDERGRAD applies to course numbers 0xx through 4xx; GRAD applies to 5xx through 9xx. If neither is included, the message is distributed without regard to the course number or level.
|(Under development)
Used to request that in addition to the specified class, all classes cross-listed with it should also be included.
|(Under development)
Used to specify that any cross-listed classes should not be considered for inclusion.
Can I post to classes I am not teaching? What if I am a staff member who is not teaching at all?
By default, only the instructor(s) for a particular class can post a message to it through this service. However, there are a couple of options available to those who are not the instructor(s) of record:
- The department or any instructor of record can designate you as an assistant for a specific class, giving you access to post to that section.
- An instructor can designate you as their surrogate, which will give you access to post to all of the same classes as they can.
- The department can grant you access to send e-mail through CEDS to all classes with a given prefix. See below.
In all cases, the authorizing party should send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, specifying your name, BlazerID, and the specific posting access you should have.
Can I post a message to all the classes being taught by my department?
With approval from the department Chair, you can be granted access to send to any and all classes with a given prefix. For example, the chair of Electrical Engineering could request that you be allowed to send to all EExxx classes. Once in place, you could then send to any of these whether or not you are the instructor of record (or even faculty at all). This is a useful option for program coordinators and department-level administrative staff who may need to post messages of general importance, or on behalf of faculty who may be unable to post their own e-mail for one reason or another.
The department Chair can initiate this access by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. They will need to include your name and BlazerID, and the class prefix(es) to which you can post. Once in place, you will be able to send to any class in the same manner as described in the above sections, just as if you were an instructor for all of the classes with the given prefix(es).
To send a general broadcast to all students in all classes with the given prefix, you would use the special address firstname.lastname@example.com. Ex: email@example.com. You will likely need to also include one of the Criteria Options to clarify which semester(s) of classes is/are to be addressed with the post.
Can I post a message to all the students in my program? department? school?
As its name implies, CEDS is oriented towards distributing messages based on students being enrolled in particular class(es). A companion service called PEBBLES allows for message distribution based on program, department and school affiliation, to both employees and students.
Phonebook Enabled Basic Broadcast and List E-mail Service (PEBBLES)
This service is intended for real-time distribution of e-mail and attachments to related dynamic populations of employees and students. Users must be specifically authorized to distribute to these populations.
In its most direct form, authorized persons can utilize PEBBLES by sending e-mail to specially formatted e-mail addresses, where the username of the address indicates a criteria for distribution. The criteria can include Oracle orgunits, school and academic department codes, class levels, and so on.
Because remembering all of the possible criteria can be confusing, the PEBBLES Wizard is available for determining and managing its distribution addresses.
A few examples of direct PEBBLES addresses include:
- firstname.lastname@example.com - distribute to all employees under Oracle unit 19 (Vice President of Information Technology)
- 19-status01@pebbles... - distribute to all full-time employees under VPIT
- PA-STU@pebbles... - distribute to all students in the Public Administration program
- EE-GRAD-STU@pebbles... - distribute to all graduate students in Electrical Engineering
Purchasing a Site License
Q: My department/school uses a specific software application for many users and I'm fairly sure several other departments/schools at UAB use it as well. Is there a more economical way to purchase that software
A: Possibly, through either a volume discount arrangement or through a site license. First, contact AskIT to see if any discounts are already in place. If not you can send an email to email@example.com for review. Make sure and include all pertinent information about the product such as areas known to be using the software, number of licenses currently owned, manufacturer, product name/version, etc., and why you feel a site license may be applicable.
As a faculty/staff member I have MS Office installed on my UAB owned system. May I also install Office at home?
In the case of MS Office and a few other MS products under the UAB Campus Agreement, yes, but with some limitations and not using the same media/download as you used for your UAB owned system. See the related links below for more information. Keep in mind not all software allows home use rights and each license should be verified before loading any software.

Oracle - Access Sign-on Agreements
As an individual logs onto the system, they will come to a screen to input their logon and password followed by a "Sign-on Agreement". After entering the logon and password, the user must accept the agreement to gain access to the system. By accessing the system, the user is agreeing to the following agreement(s):
Employee and Trainee Information Confidentiality and Proper Use Agreement
Transaction File Information Confidentiality and Proper Use Agreement for Independent Contractors/Third Party Entities
As the title indicates, The Employee and Trainee Information Confidentiality and Proper User Agreement applies to all employees and trainees. No signatures are required for this document; but by accessing the system, the user is explicitly agreeing to the policy.
The Transaction File Information Confidentiality and Proper Use Agreement for Independent Contractors/Third Party Entities is for accessing files of Oracle transaction data, requiring the signature of the individual accessing the flat file as well as a company official, if applicable. The approvals for this agreement are routed using the University Contract/Agreement Review routing form. After the contract is properly executed, the sponsoring School/VP/Hospital Fiscal Officer will be contacted with instructions for accessing the transaction file.

The Federal Marriage Amendment Is Hopeless
But federal law can succeed in protecting marriage where a constitutional amendment is destined to fail.
11:00 PM, Nov 18, 2003 • By DENNIS TETI
For example, instead of directly forbidding same-sex partners to marry, a federal marriage privilege protection measure would make it a criminal offense for state or local officials acting "under color of law" to issue a marriage license to persons of the same sex. Constitutional authority to pass this measure comes from the Fourteenth Amendment, buttressed by the Republican Guarantee clause (S. 4 of Art. IV) and the Necessary and Proper clause (par. 18, S. 8 of Art. I).
To appreciate this, consider the nature of the marriage relationship as understood from antiquity through centuries of thought and experience that shaped its meaning in American legal practice: The marriage union is a relationship characterized by privilege. Each spouse is recognized to have a privilege "to have and to hold" the person of the other. The privilege is exclusive: No one else may claim a right to join that union.
The marriage privilege is prior to government in the sense the Declaration of Independence speaks of regarding inalienable rights: "among these [implying there are others] are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Families exist by nature to perpetuate the species, or natural rights themselves would disappear. Government's purpose is not to dispense rights but to "secure" rights created by "Nature and Nature's God." To do this, governments enforce laws placing limits on how people exercise their natural rights and privileges. For instance, the rights to liberty and life can be constrained by jailing or executing criminals. The marriage privilege also must be regulated because the family is central to the well-being of society. No nation has ever claimed that a person should be permitted to marry anyone he or she chooses. The legal requirement of a marriage license grants a social privilege par excellence, a relationship to be enjoyed only by specific persons permitted and protected by law.
So deeply embedded in our society is this privilege that a thick network of legal rights and duties has been woven to reinforce it--over a thousand federal and 400 state laws by a rough count from the General Accounting Office. They comprehend everything from parents' duties to their children, adoption, estates and inheritances, survivor benefits, immigration rights, domestic violence protections, and divorce settlements, to customs claims, lease renewals, tax laws, judicial evidentiary immunity, and many other areas. No other privileged relationship has been so marked out by legal benefits and obligations to prove its centrality for free society.
As Stanley Kurtz demonstrated in Beyond Gay Marriage, the movement to redefine marriage to include homosexual unions brings in its wake demands to legalize polygamy, polyamory (group marriages), triple parenting, incestuous partnerships, and worse. Expanding marriage to include same-sex partnerships implies the abolition of the marriage privilege, as proponents of these various arrangements clearly understand. Andrew Sullivan and other gay activists are angered by what they say is the equation of gay marriage with other unnatural unions, but no one has claimed these differing sexual arrangement are the same. The real issue in common among these relationships is the principle that is supposed to legitimize gay marriage: personal affectional preference. But marriage is not capable of being radically redefined. Reason itself, fixed in the nature of the relationship, imposes limits. Transcend the limits, and, as Kurtz shows, the marriage union dissolves as a social and legal institution.
For most of its history, the Supreme Court held that traditional marriage forms a family unit which is the fundamental building block of free society. The forms of self-government could not survive without it, so any weakening of the marriage privilege undermines free government. To preserve republicanism, the federal government is obligated (Art. IV, S. 4) to strengthen its basis in the marriage union.
The states' power to enact marriage laws presupposes the purpose of securing the marriage privilege, not weakening it. By the terms of the Fourteenth Amendment, the states may not do so. Here is why.

First off I would like to congratulate all of you on your rainbows. I'm not yet sure if I belong in this group because I'm not PG yet. But I do have an angel baby and I have a very strong feeling that when I do get my BFP I will be carrying twins. Part of me thinks that's why getting PG again is taking so long. Did any of you lovely ladies have a feeling before you knew or before you were even PG again? I'm really hoping to spend more time with you.
introducing myself.

Hello,I didn't have any idea it was twins until my ultrasound at 6 weeks. When they told me I said well that explains why my morning sickness was so bad.

lol I'm sure it will be the same for me. I'm still really hoping for a BFP this month and I will have an app 11/16 if I get bfp since I already have a ride to where my midwife is and I know she does early u/s and I would be about 7wks that day and really can't wait even though I don't know for sure I'm pg yet
Posted 01/08/2015
I just found out I was having twins today. Months before I got pregnant I had a feeling I would have twins and after i got pregnant I kept thinking there were two so I asked for a bedside ultrasound and there are two babies and two heartbeats. Good luck and I hope you get your rainbow/rainbows real soon!

Review quote
"Hits the ground running and never stops . . . Mansbach's sharp and edgy style carries this fresh story in and out of subway tunnels and through the grimiest neighborhoods of New York, bringing the New York of now and then together in full relief." --Heather Paulson, "Booklist" "Thrilling . . . Electric with rhythm . . . The book is peppered with grandfatherly revolutionaries, slang-slinging young bloods and an army of paint-wielding ninjas who unite with military precision on an ambitious plan to graffiti-bomb every single train car on the MTA." --"Kirkus Reviews" "Slick, outlandish . . . Mansbach's novel is a fun and exciting read." --"Publishers Weekly" "Carlos Castaneda meets underground New York with a subway tunnel sensibility . . . Sure to be a cult classic and cause a stir." --"Library Journal"

Article: Epidemiology and impact of a multifaceted approach in controlling central venous catheter associated blood stream infections outside the intensive care unit[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Outside ICUs, CVC-ABSIs epidemiology and the results of strategies for their prevention are not well known. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology and the impact of a multifaceted "bundle" approach in controlling CVC-ABSIs outside ICU. From 1991 we performed prevalence studies of device and parenteral nutrition use, and prospective surveillance of all episodes of CVC-ABSIs in a 350-bed teaching hospital. CVC-ABSIs incidence/1,000 inpatient-days was calculated. An estimated CVC-ABSIs incidence/1,000 catheter-days was calculated based on the prevalence rates of catheter use and the total number of inpatient-days in each year. On november 2008, an education programme was instituted for care of catheter lines: reinforcing instructions in aseptic insertion technique, after care and hand-washing; in order to assess the adherence to these measures the quantity of alcohol-based hand-rub consumption/1,000 patient-days was quoted in litres. From January 2009, a checklist intervention for CVC insertion in ICU was started: hand hygiene, using full barrier precautions, cleaning the skin with alcoholic chlorhexidine, avoiding femoral access and removing unnecessary catheters. Compliance with the central line insertion checklist was measured by real-time audits and was achieved in 80% of cases. Prevalence of use of CVC and parenteral nutrition was similar throughout the study. We followed-up 309 CVC-ABSIs cases. Estimated CVC-ABSIs rate progressively increased to 15.1/1,000 catheter-days in 2008 (0.36/1,000 inpatient-days). After the intervention, the alcohol-based hand-rub consumption increased slightly and estimated CVC-ABSIs rate fell to 10.1 /1,000 catheter-days in last three years (0.19/1,000 inpatient-days), showing a 32.9% decrease. The infection rates achieved were lower in Internal Medicine wards: decreased from 14.1/1,000 catheter-days (0.17/patient-days) in 2008 to 5.2/1,000 catheter-days (0.05/1,000 inpatient-days) in last three years, showing a 63.1% decrease. In 2009, the estimated CVC-ABSIs incidence rate was significantly lower in the Internal Medicine ward compared to the Surgery ward: rate ratio (RR) = 0.14, 95%CI: 0.03-0.60), and within the Internal Medicine ward, the estimated CVC-ABSIs incidence rate was significantly lower in 2009 compared to 2008 (RR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.04-0.91). The rate of CVC-ABSIs increased outside-ICU, and the implementation of multifaceted infection control programme decreased their clinical impact.BMC Infectious Diseases 09/2013; 13(1):445.

ABSTRACT: To describe the epidemiology and risk factors associated with extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). Cases of tuberculosis (TB) diagnosed from 1991 to 2008 in a Caucasian population were classified as EPTB or pulmonary TB (PTB). Of all cases, 63.7% were followed up in a specialist TB unit. A standardised protocol for data collection was used, including: gender, age, BCG vaccination, contact with PTB patient, smoking habit, alcohol abuse, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppressive drugs/steroids and HIV-status. These variables were compared between EPTB and PTB groups. Statistical analysis was based on logistic regression. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Among the 2,161 cases diagnosed, 1,186 were PTB and 705 EPTB. The overall TB incidence had fallen from 79.9/100,000 in 1992 to 27.1/100,000 in 2008, P<.05. The number of EPTB cases decreased more slowly than PTB. EPTB increased from 30.6% of cases in 1991-1996 to 37.6% in 2003-2008 (lymphatic site increased 27%), by trend test P<.05. At multivariate level, being female (OR 2.04; 95% CI: 1.56-2.66) and age (OR 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01-1.022) were associated with EPTB, while alcohol abuse (OR 0.33; 95% CI: 0.20-0.52), smoking habit (OR 0.45; 95%CI: 0.34-0.59), contact with PTB patients (OR 0.57; 95% CI: 0.44-0.76) and BCG vaccination (OR 0.64; 95% CI: 0.44-0.92) had a protective effect. The proportion of female gender and age of patients increased over time, whilst there was a decrease in BCG vaccinated patients. Whilst there has been a reduction in the overall incidence of TB, the proportion of EPTB increased. The proportional increase in EPTB could be explained by an increase in life expectancy and the predominance of women in the population, and by a decline in BCG vaccinated patients.Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica 05/2011; 29(7):502-9.

ABSTRACT: This study reports research on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonized-infected patients who were admitted to a 320-bed hospital. Specifically, we report on the difficulties related to MRSA infection control as a consequence of the increasing incidence of non-hospital-associated MRSA acquisition and patients as chronic carriers who are frequently readmitted to the hospital.American journal of infection control 03/2011; 39(3):250-3.

This April, voters throughout Taney County will have an option of whether to approve a new property tax to be used to fund a countywide library district.
County commissioners approved putting the proposal, at a rate of 15 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, on the ballot last year.
The county's library board, formed in 2011 in accordance with state statutes, has been tasked with coming up with a proposal.
Members of the board, including its president, Sarah Klinefelter, originally asked commissioners to put a levy rate of 20 cents on the ballot.
Still, Klinefelter said the board feels it could accomplish many of its goals with a 15-cent rate.
If voters approve the new tax, the board would assume the responsibilities for operations and maintenance of the Taneyhills Community Library in Branson, and the Forsyth Community Library, Klinefelter said.
The board also would hire a professional library director and information technology director, plus an additional seven to eight full-time staff for the two facilities.
That's according to a plan approved by the board last year.
Operational hours also would be expanded at both facilities to include evenings and weekends.
Additional services including new computers, an online catalogue of books and electronic books could be added.
The board also proposed establishing community programs for different age groups and interests and educational services for home school groups and public schools, including GED and workforce development programs.
"Libraries can be economic engines, providing knowledge and learning experiences to the local workforce," Klinefelter said.
She said previously the 15-cent rate, being lower than the originally proposed 20-cent rate, might require a reduction in some services, however.
Proposed budgets for the library district include no major capital expenditures. Repairs of existing facilities are in the budget, however.
The proposed 20-cent rate would have generated about $1.9 million a year. The 15-cent rate, if approved, will generate about $1.4 million.
"A 15-cent levy is fine," Klinefelter said.
Taney County is the only first-class county in Missouri that does not already have an established countywide library district.
Library districts are five-member boards appointed by the county commission. Because the boards oversee the use of a separate funding source from the county's general revenues, the board is its own legal entity and can hire and fire its own personnel.
The tax, if approved, would not have a sunset provision, unlike many other property taxes.
That issue gave Presiding Commissioner Ron Houseman some hesitation prior to approving the measure for the April ballot, he said.
Houseman noted that there are no statutes allowing library district taxes to have sunset provisions, however.
Currently, both libraries in the county are funded entirely though donations, grants and used book and thrift store item sales.

Looking for a true partner for the next chapter
I am an outgoing and motivated guy with a really diverse background. I've traveled extensively for both career and pleasure. I enjoy both the simple things as well as finer things in life. - I am a managing partner of a growing firm so I do work a lot, but certainly know how to take time away. - I have an amazing 8 year old son who, unfortunately, doesn't live with me all of the time. - I try to eat healthy most of the time and strive to be in the gym 5 days a week. I've taken some time away but will start yoga again soon for its great mental and physical benefits. - I love to cook nearly as much as I like dining out. With the weather Chicago has had this year, nothing beats a great dinner at home and some red wine. - I come from a family of 5 kids as the only boy. - I went to school in Arizona and have lived in Florida so this winter is truly devastating my affection for Chicago. - I am looking for someone who wants to share the experiences that makes us who we are today and together build a future. -I'd like someone who is open-minded, adventurous, kind and trustworthy. -Someone who can make me laugh and at the same time not scared to laugh at themselves. -Someone who is not overly sensative and at the same time isn't too hard to show feelings. -At the end of the day, I am looking for someone who compliments my strengths and weaknesses so that together we make a great team.

I love to travel and have been fortunate to wander four different continents. I love good food and can cook better than a lot of moms. Generally the spicier, the better. I also enjoy great wine because each bottle is a unique evolving entity.
I love to work out, go out and travel whenever possible. That said, I can appreciate a night in watching a movie (or Blackhawks game).
A lot of regulatory documents and patent papers. The last good book I read was Outliers.

I have a custom view covering entire screen in iPod touch. I need to put add another view in this which will initially be hidden but will come on screen when view is scrolled down. I hav achieved this but not I can scroll my view to upside also. I so not want user to pull up the custom view. I just want a pull down feature and no pull up.
When someone pull down I am bringing the view to original position programatically. So, when user pull down they can see some information for 5 secs and then view is back to original position.
Hoe can I restrict my UIScrollView from being scrolled towards up on manual interaction?

TD Banknorth Garden is home to NHL's Boston Bruins and NBA's Boston Celtics. A few months ago, the indoor arena completed its conversion to an HD display system and control room.
The entire scoreboard display system was replaced last September with a Mitsubishi HD LED video board and three Daktronics LED rings above and below the main video board. The display surfaces require constant, custom-created HD content. This required updating the arena's in-house production suite to support an end-to-end HD workflow from graphics and HD video feeds to storage and playout.
1 Beyond FOR workstations are used to render animations and graphics on the HD LED display. 1 Beyond OctoFlex workstations power applications such as Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects and NewTek LightWave 3D. Matrox Axio hardware provides HD I/O while the eight-processor OctoFlex provides effects, previews and rendering. The four OctoFlex workstations are used in the pre-production phase, and two are used during the events for live playout to the HD displays and are set up to offer complete redundancy, in case of system failure.
An IntelliRaid storage system, from 1stDesign, 1 Beyond's storage division, handles the back-end of TD BankNorth Garden's system. The direct attached storage systems with fault-tolerant RAID support provide TD Banknorth Garden with solid storage and fail safe access to media files during live productions.

What will it be like to live in the New River Valley over the next twenty years?
Well, that depends on what happens now that a 3 year study on livability in the NRV is complete and ready to be acted upon.
More than 3,000 people from all over the New River Valley weighed in on which issues they're most concerned about for the future of this region; including housing, transportation, energy, environment, and cultural assets which define this part of south western Virginia.
Starting a business can be complicated, and you might feel ill-prepared without an MBA, but a Charlottesville woman who has the degree decided not to bother with focus groups or financial analysis.
Instead, she trusted her gut, and is building a company using common sense.
A couple of years ago, an Australian filmmaker named Joe Cross came to America to make a documentary about his quest for better health. He called it Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.
Population growth in Virginia slowed last year—but the commonwealth still outpaced the nation.
Between 2012 and 2013, Virginia's population grew less than 1-percent, to nearly 8-point-3 million people. That's the slowest growth in the state since the recession….but still higher than the national average.
Virginians will likely spend some time over next few weeks getting their paperwork together to complete their taxes. And if you're thinking about having someone else do your taxes, new research says tax preparers and other service providers can sometimes benefit by making information about their services hard to read.
According to Virginia Dominion Power the average monthly residential electric bill in the state is $119.82 a month.
With the deep temperatures of winter and depending on our heat source we can find bills for a single month two to three times that amount.
But there's a method of home construction that for one homeowner has cut their electric bill by more than half the state average.
"Our typical energy bill is actually as low as $40 to as high as $62 to $65 so far. Our annual energy usage is so much lower than a standard home's"

Bothun said he had the option to audible out of the fake if he didn't like the way OSU lined up.
"I just thought a field goal wasn't going to be good enough," Stoops said. "I knew we were going to need more than that, we had a numbers advantage out to that side and the way they were lining up and it worked out that way."
Unlike the last-minute special teams addition, OU coaches spent two weeks devising an offensive game plan centered around redshirt freshman Trevor Knight's athleticism and option proficiency. With only seconds remaining in the first half, though, Knight sustained a shoulder injury and never returned.
Hoping to stick with the plan, OU turned to sophomore Kendal Thompson, but he was ineffective, even throwing an interception on the first play from scrimmage after halftime.
Coaches alternated Thompson and Bell for much of the third quarter, then handed the full reins to Bell in the fourth, and he was excellent, particularly on the Sooners' last offensive series.
Bell led the Sooners on an eight-play, 66-yard drive in 1:27, finding Saunders for a 7-yard touchdown with 19 seconds remaining to secure the upset win.
"It's a great victory, especially since we kinda just patched it together," said senior center Gabe Ikard. "We have Jalen return a punt, you have Hunnicutt catch a touchdown on a fake.
"It's one of those games where it wasn't pretty, but we got it done."

Armstrong foundation matches 17 cents for each $1 donated on Day of Giving
The Armstrong County Community Foundation had its most profitable Day of Giving last week and was able to give $339,140 to 49 nonprofits once collections were tallied.
The foundation collected $289,140 in donations and used its own $50,000 to give each nonprofit an additional 17 cents for every dollar donated during the May 8 event, said Director Mindy Knappenberger. After the Day of Giving, the foundation received another $12,037 in donations.
"Our goal is to help nonprofits by giving them donations, but also helping to cultivate more donors," Knappenberger said. "Each year, we give our nonprofits a list of everyone who gave them donations, so hopefully they can build relationships with donors to keep growing."
Grace Christian School in West Kittanning received $36,152, the highest amount of donations during the event. The school received a $6,145 match from the foundation.
Crystal Emminger, an administrative assistant at Grace Christian, said the school has participated in the Day of Giving since its inception in 2011. The school had 50 students and their families at the event this year.
"Fundraising can be tough because, really, how many bake sales can we actually hold?" Emminger said. "It's nice people are generous, because prices are going up for everyone, including us, and this helps us continue offering our services."
The school, which offers classes for students in preschool through tenth grade, wants to expand its curriculum to include grades 11 and 12, Emminger said.
"This donation is truly a blessing because it will help us be able to begin expanding and getting ready to take on more students," Emminger said. "We're going to need to start adding more classrooms and purchasing some equipment to accommodate more students."
Knappenberger said the foundation is beginning plans for next year's Day of Giving on May 7.
"We're really hoping to see this event keep growing," she said. "Next year, we're hoping to collect enough to give out over $500,000."

First time at a La Quinta property. We stayed one night here based on its location...close to ways, rapid transit, and city. We stayed on the third floor and room overlooked the rapid transit station. We were not disturbed by the train noise at all. Room was very clean, and linens were spotless. I checked everywhere for bugs because I am a neat freak...relieved to say that hubby and I were the only guests in the room! Bathroom was small, but clean. Surprised there was not a microwave or fridge in room, but there was a coffee maker, so that was good. Lots of outlets for electronics. Our TV worked fine, unlike some reviews had mentioned. Free breakfast was pretty simple, but you could make your own waffles which is always a nice treat. Variety of juices, cereals, yoghurt, muffins, bagels, bread for toast, and fresh oranges. The person who checked us in was efficient, but she did not seem to know much about the area or directions. Later in the evening, Paula was on duty and she was exceptional. She even printed out directions for us to two separate locations. She could not have been more helpful. I asked for her name specifically so I could use it in this review, and she seemed genuinely pleased that a guest would do that. All on all, our stay was pleasant, and we would not hesitate to stay here again.

After the shocking events of last issue, the students of the Xavier Institute take their stand against Belasco, but do they have any hope of defeating the powerful demon sorcerer? And deep in the heart of Limbo, Anole and Pixie make a deal with another devil, a much blonder and more Russian devil by the name of Illyana Rasputin, while an earth-bound Surge and Hellion try to find a way into Hell. Part 2 (of 4)! The mutants fight back against Belasco but with little success. Elixir uses his newly-acquired medical knowledge to build David a new heart to replace the one Belasco ripped out. X-23 frees Dust and Mercury only to have her skeleton mystically removed by Belasco. Illyana sets her sights on Pixie and the others spring to her defense but are handily brushed aside at the Darkchild's might. Trance breaks free long enough to tell Surge and Hellion who has taken them and that Belasco is killing them and has already killed David. ONE cross-references this info and locates Amanda Sefton. Surge and Hellion insist on helping. Dust and Mercury fight valiantly against Belasco, finding courage and motivation to overcome their fears. Distraught to hear that her friends are in pain and at death's door, Pixie gives in to Illyana's demands… offering her own soul to form a new soulsword in the hopes of defeating Belasco!

In-stream flow, the concept of keeping water flowing in its natural channels (streams and rivers) to preserve the ecological conditions of the waterway and its flanking lands, is an increasingly important and controversial subject in New Mexico and the West as a whole. Water is life in the dry Southwest, and as drought conditions persist, maintaining some water in our waterways is crucial if we want these fragile ecosystems to survive.
Flowing water helps to nourish riparian areas alongside rivers and streams, providing habitat for a huge range of plant life, trees, animals and insects. It replenishes and recharges underground aquifers and provides opportunities for fishing and boating. It provides critical moisture in a land increasingly faced with less snowpack and hotter, drier conditions, enhancing quality of life for everyone and everything.
