Every year, Americans suffer approximately 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes at a cost of more than $312 billion in health care expenditure and lost productivity annually. Cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) also causes premature death, serious illness, disability, and decreased quality of life. The good news, however, is that many of the major risk factors for these conditions can be prevented and controlled. For example, high blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the leading causes of heart disease and stroke. Lifestyle choices, such as eating healthy and exercising regularly, can help control blood pressure and health care professionals may prescribe other treatments (antihypertensive medication) if lifestyle changes are not enough. However, nearly 1 in 3 Americans, or about 67 million adults, have high blood pressure and, despite the availability of antihypertensive medications, only half have it under control (<140/90). The ability of people to continue using their medications as prescribed by their doctor—also known as medication adherence—is a key challenge.
To tackle this important issue, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) teamed up to discuss how to improve antihypertensive medication adherence. This effort became known as the Million Hearts ® Epi-Exchange because of the similarities to CDC's "Epi-Aid" program which provides epidemiological support within the United States and throughout the world to assist with emergency responses, investigate infectious and environmental disease outbreaks, and quantify impact of diseases.
The Epi-Exchange is a part of the larger Million Hearts® initiative, co-led by CMS and CDC, to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. Million Hearts® aims to focus, coordinate, and enhance prevention activities across a wide variety of sectors, and includes many public and private partners. Core to the prevention of heart disease and stroke is the focus on the ABCS—aspirin use, blood pressure control, cholesterol management, and smoking cessation. We selected high blood pressure as the main topic for the Epi-Exchange, because substantial efforts are already underway to improve blood pressure control. Lessons learned during the Epi-Exchange can readily be used to help evaluate disease risk, along with other leading heart disease and stroke risk factors.
We decided to focus the Epi-Exchange on expanding the ability of Million Hearts® to use pharmaceutical claims data (billing data collected when a person has a prescription filled) to guide current and future activities. The use of pharmaceutical claims data to assess the burden of illness in the population and identify possible areas for intervention is relatively new. However, pharmaceutical claims data can be used as an alternate way to evaluate appropriate and evidenced-based treatment of health conditions. In addition, through the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program, which provides prescription drug coverage to the majority (>60%) of US adults ages 65 and older, CMS has a valuable source of pharmaceutical claims data. Focusing on pharmaceutical data was also a good fit because it meant that we could combine CMS' detailed understanding of the Part D program (variations across health plans, deductibles, coverage gaps) with CDC's expert clinical knowledge of pharmaceutical products and hypertension treatment. To facilitate the sharing of information between CDC and CMS we decided to hold an in-person meeting in late October 2013. Over the course of only a few months, several preparatory meetings involving CMS and CDC subject matter experts were held to identify priority areas for the in-person meeting, which was held from October 23–25 at the CMS offices in Baltimore, MD.
The main objectives of the Epi-Exchange included: (1) coordinating Million Hearts® research activities across CMS and CDC, (2) developing a plan for Million Hearts® public health surveillance using Part D data, and (3) identifying opportunities for CMS and CDC scientist collaboration.
For the first objective, we held several discussions regarding the alignment and coordination of CMS and CDC surveillance and research methodologies. It was quickly determined that selecting the appropriate populations (e.g., denominators) allows for consistent messaging and reporting. While the group was excited to see that there was already much consistency in the state-of-the-art research methodologies being employed despite working independently in different agencies, we agreed that continued movement towards standardization across platforms and methodologies is imperative to a successful collaboration. Also, consistency in the manner in which medication adherence is regularly reported by CMS using a validated and standardized approach was discussed, and it was determined that it can be replicated and tracked for Million Hearts® surveillance, and applied to other CDC data assets as well.
The second objective involved the broad understanding of CMS pharmaceutical data availability, which included a common understanding of available data files to aid in analyses as well as linkage options with other data assets. This portion of the collaboration involved a live programming session in which a representative Part D sample was used to replicate antihypertensive medication surveillance questions CDC has used with another prescription medication data asset (IMS Health data). Statistical code developed during this session was provided to CDC to allow for additional analysis replication.
The final objective focused on enhanced opportunities for consistent communication of Million Hearts® messages across agencies. During this session, we reviewed the Million Hearts® Dashboard. The Dashboard is being developed to track Million Hearts® related events, like heart attack hospitalizations, among Medicare beneficiaries. Subject matter experts made informed decisions to select appropriate reporting measures and align the Dashboard with other CMS surveillance activities.
Overall, this Epi-Exchange event resulted not just in increased transparency of institutional knowledge and information, which is expected to lead to incremental improvements in the way the Million Hearts® program will be monitored, but it also validated that open-data approaches and research collaboration can provide synergies that may not be possible in our usual research silos. Lessons learned and methodologies from this Epi-Exchange are currently guiding the development of an informed data use agreement between CMS and CDC to gain expanded access to CMS data through the CMS Virtual Research Data Center. Collaborations are also continuing through the Million Hearts® initiative.

Pre-Visit Activities
K/W/L Chart
Before class, create a K/W/L chart on the board. A K/W/L chart is a structure that students use before, during, and after engaging with a topic. In the "K" column, they fill in what they already KNOW or think they know about a topic. In the "W" column, they fill in what they WANT TO KNOW, often by making a list of questions they have about the topic. Finally, in the "L" column, they take notes as they go about what they are LEARNING. This activity provides a flexible way to help structure inquiry into a larger topic. The K and W columns will be completed in the first two steps of the activity. The L column should be filled out after the completion of research, during one of the available lessons, or during your visit to the Empire State Building.
After your visit to the Empire State Building, you may wish to revisit these charts and add a final column (Q) of QUESTIONS you still have.
Note: You may choose to make K/W/L charts on poster board, or have students make them in their notebooks.
Class Skyline
Have each student create a skyscraper for a class skyline. As the inspiration for the Empire State Building was a simple pencil, have students find an everyday object to use as their inspiration. Teachers should set requirements for skyscraper models (materials allowed, scale, etc.) according to age and ability of students. Once completed, place models side by side to view your class skyline!
During-Visit Activities
Note: This activity can be started in-class prior to your trip. Have students break up into pairs and come up with five to ten questions they would ask a visitor to the Empire State Building. Questions can cover a wide range of topics (use the pre-created ones below as a guide), but should be respectful of people's privacy.
- Where are you from?
- Why did you choose to visit the Empire State Building?
- What other sites have you visited or will you have visited on your trip to New York City?
- Can you summarize in one word your thoughts on the view or on being this high?
Tell students to find someone on the observation deck (not from their group) willing to participate in a quick interview. Tell them to reassure potential interviewees that their answers will be used only for your class work and will take only two to three minutes.
Last, tell students to remember to thank the interviewee for her/his time.
Students need cameras for the following exercise. If everyone does not have a camera, students should partner or work in small groups (according to the number of cameras available).
The following quotations are about the Empire State Building. Ask each student to choose one and use the camera to take pictures that illustrate his or her understanding of the chosen quotation (advise students that they may wish to think about possible shots to illustrate their captions prior to arriving at the building):
- The Empire State Building is "a symbol of hope in the darkest of times." - Sky Boys, page 5.
- "...concrete canyons of Manhattan." - Sky Boys, page 7.
- "The Statue of Liberty symbolizes the dream of New York as a safe haven. The Empire State Building symbolizes the power and style of the town." - Thirteen Months to Go, page 7.
- "Especially today, the Empire State Building is a symbol of the American spirit, of a steadfast determination to achieve the impossible." - Thirteen Months to Go, page 19.
- "Architecture is said to be frozen music." - Thirteen Months to Go, page 35.
- "...up there, among the clouds, the drumbeat of New York is stilled, the nervous staccato of the city's life is left behind. In the superb heights of the Empire State Building, the mind is free." - Thirteen Months to Go, page 42.
- "Stare up at such a building and it fairly dominates one's mind and body." - Thirteen Months to Go, page 2.
- "None of this has diminished the affection people feel for the building. It still swells the breasts of New Yorkers and makes hearts beat faster, and it still attracts more than 2 million visitors a year. The building's splendor and lift, its very being remains a magical presence, a cynosure for the city's residents, a mecca for visitors. Language barriers and social inhibitions evaporate as tourists ask complete strangers to take their pictures in the Empire State's lobby. Their joy is manifest, their obvious eagerness to record their visit for posterity breaking down all hesitancies. The stranger smilingly obliges." - The Empire State Building: The Making of a Landmark, page 17.
Upon returning from the building, students should print their photos and write a one-paragraph explanation of what they saw in their shots. Display these on the walls of the classroom for an Empire State Building exhibit.
Post-Visit Activities
Trivia Game
Using the facts and information gathered together from your research and during your visit to the Empire State Building, create questions for a class trivia game. Each student should create three to five questions, using the statistics (measurements, amounts of materials or workers and other data, such as steps or heights), facts of the period (key people, economics of the country), and any other information, such as dates. Gather all the students' questions together and eliminate duplicates. In a future class, play your game! (You may wish to try a board game or game show format.)
My Experience
Ask students to write an article on their trip to the Empire State Building. Have them describe in detail their thoughts and feelings on looking over the Big Apple from nearly 1,000 feet above street level. Did having prior knowledge about the building's design and construction affect their experience? Explain. If they interviewed another visitor (not someone in their class), have them include their findings here. Suggest they submit their articles to the school paper, or to esbnyc.com.

Midnight Ranch Attacks
Important Items...[edit]
The Screams of Brahmin (recording), 75 Bottle Caps.
In the settlement of Novac, you'll meet a kindly old couple named Dusty and Alice McBride. They own a small home in Novac with a corral full of Brahmin next to it. When you speak with them, you'll learn that the Brahmin are their livelihood. And unfortunately, some person or creature keeps picking off one of the Brahmin in their corral each night. The next morning, without fail, they go outside to find a Brahmin riddled with bullet holes. Unsure of who or what is responsible, and not wanting to get hurt, the McBrides don't want to get involved in reaching some sort of solution. But maybe you will?
Anytime after speaking with the McBrides about this unfortunate set of circumstances, you can return to their home in Novac at night. Around ten o'clock in the evening (and up to around two in the morning), you'll find a spaced-out Nightkin standing alongside their corral. A dead Brahmin will likely already be in the corral itself. Instigate a fight with this Nightkin, and kill him. Then, comb his body for some goods, including a recording called The Screams of Brahmin. This will be the strange evidence you need to convince the McBrides that their problem has been taken care of.
With the Nightkin killed, walk back into the house and speak with Dusty, who will be quite thankful for you taking care of this problem. To show you how thankful he is, he'll hand over 75 Bottle Caps for your hard work. As for Alice, well... she's sound asleep (at least if you take care of this task at night and then immediately speak to Dusty thereafter), so you'll have to return later to get a thank you from her. But do be sure to read the transcription of the recording you seized from the Nightkin, since it's pretty funny. Those Brahmin were haunting his dreams! Poor Nightkin.

Are Bamboo Crib Sheets OK For Baby?
Are Bamboo Crib Sheets OK For Baby?Q: I've been thinking of getting bamboo crib sheets rather than organic cotton. Are bamboo crib sheets okay for a baby?
Is Bamboo Safer Than Cotton Crib Mattress Bedding?
A: Bamboo is a great natural resource in a number of ways. However, as with many of our natural resources, bamboo becomes a mere shadow of itself while undergoing the processes used to bring it to market. In fact, according to a recent ruling from the FTC which determined that four manufacturers of "bamboo" textile products (including crib sheets and baby clothing) are guilty of making false claims, "bamboo-based textiles, actually made of rayon, are not antimicrobial, made in an environmentally friendly manner, or biodegradable.
What exactly does the FTC mean? Well, the 'actually made of rayon' statement does not mean the textiles don't contain bamboo pulp; rather, it refers to the process - man-made fiber which uses cellulose (usually wood pulp) as a base, is rayon. The resultant textile when bamboo pulp is used would more correctly be called 'bamboo rayon.
The FTC statement that the bamboo products are not made in an environmentally friendly manner refers to the "harsh chemical that releases hazardous air pollutants" used in the manufacturing process. This chemical also destroys any inherent antimicrobial properties in the bamboo - hence the FTC statement that the textile is not antimicrobial.
The above is simple enough, but the FTC statement that bamboo-based fabric isn't biodegradable really needs clarification: If you put a 'bamboo' sheet in a compost heap or lay it in the soil in your garden, it will decompose. So, why does the FTC say it's not biodegradable? The basic problem is the definition of the word 'biodegradable': biodegradable is generally defined as 'capable of being decomposed by biological agents' such as bacteria or enzymes. But to advertise something as biodegradable, the FTC requires that the materials breakdown quickly in their normal disposal methods. As the normal disposal methods for textiles are recycling or landfill, neither of which environments contain the biological agents needed to break them down, the textiles cannot be called 'biodegradable.
Three of the four companies charged with making false claims have settled the issue with the FTC by agreeing to no longer make those claims. The fourth, Bamboosa, was still in litigation as of a few weeks ago.
So, why is bamboo-based fabric still a better option than completely man-made textiles?
- Its natural antimicrobial properties enable it to be grown without pesticides. The processing does eliminate the natural antimicrobial properties, but at least we are not subject to the possible dangers of pesticides.
- It is a hardy and renewable resource. Because bamboo plants survive drought and flooding and come to maturity relatively quickly, bamboo may be among the most sustainable plants to use for textiles. And you're not killing any rain forests in the process.
- It can apparently be bleached without the use of chlorine.
- It is easy to dye and therefore doesn't require harsh chemicals to hold a color.
- I have also been told that there are ways to create bamboo fabric without using harsh chemicals. My understanding is that the result is a rough, somewhat abrasive fabric – not something you'd want to put on a crib mattress and have right next to your baby's delicate skin – but I would be on the lookout for other manufacturing methods that may give us the silky products we now know.
The organic cotton story is as simple as the bamboo story is confusing – our crib mattresses are made with cotton that was grown without harmful chemicals, and no harmful chemicals were used in processing. Although bamboo is better than some fabric alternatives, organic cotton is probably the best option.

Grambling players boycott practice Wednesday
- Walkout comes after players also left meeting with school adminstrators Tuesday
- Coach Doug Williams was fired last month%2C and 0-7 team is on 13-game conference skid
- Interim coach George Ragsdale says situation for players %22almost like a divorce%22
Not one Grambling football player attended Wednesday afternoon practice after players walked out of a Tuesday meeting with administration, according to a member of the football program.
The source said players aren't happy with the way they are treated, and frustrations boiled over Tuesday during a meeting with university President Frank Pogue, athletics director Aaron James, interim head coach George Ragsdale and student government President Jordan Harvey.
The Tigers have lost 13 consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference games and 17 overall to NCAA programs.
The meeting occurred to address the reasons for bus travel to games in Kansas City, Mo., and Indianapolis and the firing of head coach Doug Williams in mid-September.
But players walked out as the meeting became increasingly negative, according to the source, and the entire team left.
University spokesman Will Sutton said the meeting was intended to show the administration's support for the team and said "some" players left.
"(The administration) knew that emotions were raw," Sutton said. "No matter what, it was going to be a challenge for the team to feel good after this season and last season.
"That's part of the reason why we have a new (athletics director) and are looking for a new football coach. The president wanted to make a point that the university supports and appreciates the team and these students, and that the administration will do everything we need to do for the future success of the program."
The source said the teams' frustrations have been boiling over a period of time. Those frustrations include what's considered as general disrespect from the administration, not receiving all meals on road trips, taking a bus to distant locations such as Kansas City, Mo., and Indianapolis, and the poor state of facilities like the weight room.
Grambling won a SWAC title as recently as 2011 and has 13 national black college titles to its credit, the most recent in 2008. The program was brought to prominence by the late Eddie Robinson, whose 408 wins from 1941-97 officially rank as most among NCAA Division I coaches.
Players attended morning weight training Wednesday until the session abruptly ended when a player was kicked out after voicing his opinion about Tuesday's meeting.
That walk-on was initially dismissed from the team, but the source said he was allowed back on the team and that Ragsdale is considering a suspension instead.
"It was basically a mutiny," the source said. "(The team) rode the bus all that way (to Indianapolis), and then come back and are disrespected like that (in Tuesday's meeting).
"(The team) is standing together because they don't know if anybody else is standing with them."
Sutton added that the administration isn't mad with players who are frustrated.
Several players didn't respond to text messages, but junior linebacker Steve Orisakwe took to Twitter to vent his frustration.
"Every week we go against the opposing team, they're fans, our "fans" and our president," Orisakwe tweeted.
An Alcorn State administrator confirmed the Braves flew to Indianapolis for Saturday's game, which the Braves won 48-0.
Athletics director James flew to Indianapolis and Kansas City for Grambling's games, but Sutton said James paid for his ticket and not the university.
Assistant coaches were not invited to Tuesday's meeting, and the source said that trust between assistants and Ragsdale is waning.
The source said the administration told the staff that everybody would keep their job until at least December, but defensive line coach Ezil Bibbs was fired after that statement.
Players are also upset with assistant coaches for not attending the meeting, according to the source.
Ragsdale declined comment to the media Wednesday morning. But he said Monday that it's like the players are going through "a divorce" with the coaching change.
"From August until when they let Doug go, they were focused on (his direction)," Ragsdale said Monday. "Then they changed midstream, and when you're dealing with young people ... that mindset is the toughest thing to deal with.
"(My running backs) were sad for (Williams) but happy for me (as an interim). It's almost like a divorce."
Ragsdale was running backs coach under Williams before being promoted to interim coach after the team lost its first wo gamest.
Grambling (0-7, 0-4 SWAC) is scheduled to continue its season Saturday at Jackson State (5-2, 5-0).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/2/2013 (2611 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One of the most widely accepted truisms in public education is that all students have individual learning styles. As a result, teachers are expected to tailor their lessons to meet the needs of the visual, auditory and tactile-kinesthetic learners in their classes.
For example, suppose a Grade 3 teacher wants to teach her students about the solar system. According to learning styles theory, visual students should be shown lots of pictures of the planets while auditory learners benefit more from a detailed verbal description. Meanwhile, tactile-kinesthetic learners should construct models of each planet.
In doing so, each student learns about the solar system through his or her individual learning style.
The theory sounds so simple and elegant. Many books and articles have been written showing teachers how to adapt their lessons to meet the learning styles of each student. There is just one little problem, however. Learning styles are a myth.
In his recent book, When Can You Trust the Experts?, cognitive psychologist Daniel Willingham explains how to test learning styles theory. Take a group of people and identify each person's so-called learning style. Let half of them experience a story through their preferred learning style. For example, the story could be conveyed by pictures to visual learners and recited verbally to auditory learners.
Then make the other half experience the same story through a different learning style. If the theory is correct, people who experience the story through their preferred learning style should remember the story better than those who do not.
"Experiments like this have been conducted," writes Willingham, "and there is no support for the learning styles idea. Not for visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners, nor for linear or holistic learners, nor for any of the other learners described by learning styles theories."
In other words, learning styles theory is no more valid than an urban myth.
Willingham is not the only expert to point it out. John Hattie, director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute at the University of Melbourne, reviewed thousands of studies about student achievement in the course of his research. In his 2012 book, Visible Learning for Teachers, Hattie bluntly states there is "zero supporting evidence" for learning styles.
Catherine Scott, an Australian education researcher who has closely examined the evidence for learning styles theory, also came to the same conclusion. Her article, The Search for the Key for Individualized Instruction, appeared in the International Guide to Student Achievement (2013) and concluded that any activities based on learning styles theory "represent a waste of precious teaching and learning time."
Despite the lack of evidence for individual learning styles, it remains widely promoted by provincial education departments, faculties of education and public school boards.
For example, Rethinking Classroom Assessment with Purpose in Mind, a document published by Manitoba Education in 2006, stresses the importance of identifying the individual learning styles of each student. A more recent Manitoba Education document, Strengthening Partnerships, recommends that teacher candidates be placed in a classroom environment where "teaching practices incorporate an understanding of different learning styles."
The damage caused by this failed theory is significant. Instead of providing well-designed whole class lessons, teachers often waste vast amounts of time trying to adapt to the so-called learning styles of each student. Then, at their professional development in-services, these same teachers are pushed to go even further in this direction.
As a result, teachers end up working harder, getting worse results, and burning themselves out in the process.
Rejecting the theory does not mean teachers should teach every topic exactly the same way. It makes sense for teachers to use a variety of strategies when introducing students to new concepts. Going back to our example of Grade 3 students learning about the solar system, a good teacher will do far more than simply give a single lecture. Rather, she will show her students pictures of the planets, provide accurate verbal descriptions, and give students an opportunity to work with models of the planets.
Good teachers have always used a variety of strategies to engage as many students as possible. Sometimes looking at a picture is the best way to get a concept across while at other times it makes sense to let students construct a model. There is no need to pigeon-hole students into different learning styles, particularly since there is no evidence such styles exist.
Individual learning styles is a myth that should finally be put to rest.
