I rarely make bags for myself. I have a lot of patterns, and the best intentions to make them all someday, but I things are incredibly busy with so many other projects these days, let alone my day to day life with my husband and children, but this bag is on my short to-do list. It's the Gypsy Sling by Amy Butler and I love it. I saw my friend Amy's version this summer during our girls trip to the lake, and I fell in love with it then. Back in July. And I've been thinking about making one ever since. One of the things that I love about this pattern is that the straps can be made out of two leather belts. Genius, right?? I found these at Target for about $10 each and I think they'll look great on my finished bag.
I've been pulling together fabrics for my future sling, and I thought it was fitting to use some of Amy's fabrics for her pattern. The aqua floral above is one of my all time favorite prints. Seriously. My living room and kitchen curtains are made out of it. I just love the bright aqua and all of the other great pops of color. I think I may use it for the exterior of the bag and the Full Moon Dots in lime for the lining.
I really also like this combination. It's another contender for sure, although I'm thinking it might be a bit too blue.
I think this is another fun one. I've been holding on to that wallpaper print for quite a long time. Maybe four years or so?? I'll keep you posted on my fabric choices and my progress. I'm hoping to have the chance to start working on my bag soon!

Before we went to bed (as you may have seen on instagram...) I put out all of our beach gear ready for morning, only to wake to...
...the most misty morning. It really was beautiful - 65 degrees and the air was so misty I could hardly see 10 feet away.
Emma and I in our PJ's. See the mist behind us? Magical. Why is it so fun to get up early on vacation and it feels like a chore any other day. Am I the only one that gets up earlier on vacation than in real life?
She wasn't a huge fan of the wind...
It felt so surreal and mystical. What is it about the sea that seems to have such a presence when you're near it. I felt so small the entire time we were there - humbling.
Sandy PJ's.
Beautiful even in bad weather. I love the little lanterns glowing.
So, instead of an early morning walk on the beach, we settled for a cozy morning in - well, actually out on the terrace.
This was Emma's 'spot' - she would carry out all of her food and put it on the bottom step of my chair. Her favorite dinning spot in Seaside.
Our view for most of the day... and the next couple of days. The rain was relentless! It added a very relaxed mood to our week. Humph.
Emma occupied herself with Trivial Pursuit. I'll keep my baby-genius comments to myself : )
To pass the rainy day, we painted a dog bowl for Mr. Darcy at the local pottery place. It was the perfect sunny and happy place to be on a rainy day.
She concentrates very hard on her crafts, just like her Mama. We painted the inside "Seabreeze" and wrote his name in Navy.
The lady that was helping us asked if we wanted to redo it since it was smudged. I love that it is real and
There was more painting to be done - this time by her Daddy. She couldn't be bothered though, she was busy going in and out, in and out of the doors.
The scape he was painting. We shipped it home to put in our living room for spring/summer. I'll post about it when it gets here.
I loved the sweet little curls that she got from the humidity.
So sweet.

White House of Erendis
A house that stood in the Emerië region of the Mittalmar of Númenor. It was built for Erendis as a gift by Tar-Meneldur, to mark her betrothal to his son Aldarion. Aldarion spent many years away from Númenor in his ships, and the White House became a sanctuary for his wife Erendis, and their daughter, who would become Queen Tar-Ancalimë.[1]

Dear Sencha,
One of our designers created alot of pages using Sencha Animator.
I noticed that even though there are almost no animation, it does not load at all in internet explorer 7 or 8.
I mean there must be some way to atleast get the project to load at all in these browser.
In all it's basicness it just loads alot of <img> tags with images.
but even that won't load.
I already added a check/fallback for the window.addEventListener, cause IE8 only has the "attachEvent" event.
But man this sucks...

Colorado City girl missing
It has been a week since a 13-year-old girl from Colorado City has been missing.Hailey Darlene Dunn was last seen on Monday, Dec. 27, at 1804 Chestnut Street in Colorado City around 1 p.m., wearing navy blue sweatpants, a short sleeved light colored T-shirt and pink and white tennis shoes. Hailey has hazel eyes, pierced ears and brown hair with blondish streaks. She is 5'1" and weighs 120 pounds.On Friday, Dec. 31, Colorado City citizens spread throughout the city and even into Sweetwater to pass out flyers in an effort to expand the search. According to Colorado City police, investigators are following up leads from phone calls and have met with family, friends and neighbors to find the missing girl.Hailey was on her way to a friend's house with the intention of spending the night with her friend. When she didn't return home on Tuesday, Hailey's mother became frightfully concerned about her daughter's whereabouts. The investigation is currently being treated as a runaway. A statewide Amber Alert has not been issued, based on the fact that police do not believe Hailey has met with foul play, nor does evidence suggest a violent abduction.On Sunday night, Jan. 2, approximately 750 people attended a prayer vigil held at the Colorado Middle School. Several ministers spoke at the vigil and urged those in attendance to pray for Hailey, her family and "those she might be with".A $10,000 reward, initially set at $1,000 and raised from the $4,500 that was being offered on Friday afternoon, is being offered by the Colorado City Police Department for any information leading to the whereabouts and safe return of Hailey Dunn. Please call 325-728-5294 or 325-728-3161 with any information.

Falwell blames gays, feminists, lesbians for death
This just in over the wire from ANS (Afterlife News Service):
Falwell blames 'pagans, abortionists, gays, feminists, lesbians' for death
(ANS, The Afterlife) Echoing his comments made after 9-11 that the terrorist attack was caused by a litany of "evil forces," the late Jerry Falwell said today from the afterlife that "pagans, abortionists, gays, feminists, lesbians, the ACLU, People for the American Way, Al Gore, Daily Kos and other immoral, liberal groups and individuals bear full responsibility for the heart attack that has claimed my earthly life."
Falwell went to add that, unlike his apology following his post-9-11 comments, he will "not be apologizing this time because there are no liberals where I'm going. So they can kiss my fat, dead ass."
Falwell said he had been sitting at his desk, thumbing through a stack of personal checks from residents of a senior center he had visited on Monday when he felt a sudden, crushing pain in his chest.
"It was like the homosexuals were actually reaching into my chest cavity and squeezing my heart," Falwell recounted. "I started praying, 'Lord, smite the homosexuals,' but they wouldn't let go. Bastards have a helluva' grip. Must be from all that cock grabbing they do."
Falwell noted that he was dead before Liberty University Executive Vice President Ron Godwin found him slumped over the stack of checks.
"Ronnie walked in and I was already gone. I give him credit, though. Before he even called 911, he removed the stack of checks and gave them to Eleanor and told her to make sure they get deposited, pronto. He also went through my desk drawers and removed the two copies of 'Big Jugs Magazine' he knew I had hidden in the back of one of them. But the son-of-a-bitch snatched the gold pen that Reagan had given me," Falwell complained.
Falwell said he would "wait and see" before offering any comment on his new surroundings. "I've often wondered if this is going to be a case of 'overpromise/underdeliver' or if things will be as good as I have told so many they would be. I'm not sold yet."
A spokesangel for God said The Almighty was taking a "long, hard look" at Falwell's life before deciding on a final afterlife home. "The Lord will only say at this point that no one is a sure bet. That goes for Jerry and for anyone else who leaves an earthly life."
When asked to respond to Falwell's assertion that "there are no liberals in heaven," the spokesangel laughed and said, "Franklin Roosevelt may have something to say about that."
Falwell closed his press conference with a diatribe against "Muslims and other infidel colored people on Earth who don't believe what I believe which is the one, true belief."
Just then, another recently dead man dressed in long, gold robes and a turban passed by on a throne carried by four angels.
Falwell was stunned.
"But I bet he's not a homo," the late Reverend said, before storming from the room.

Q: What is a pop-up window?
A: A pop-up window is an overlapped window with optional title bar and border.
It is created by specifying WS_POPUP style in CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx function.
- pop-up windows are generally used for dialogs and other temporary windows that appear outside an application's main window;
- in practice is used the composite style WS_POPUPWINDOW instead of WS_POPUP;
this adds a border and system menu.
Code:#define WS_POPUPWINDOW (WS_POPUP | \ WS_BORDER | \ WS_SYSMENU)
- to make the system menu visible, WS_POPUPWINDOW must be combined with WS_CAPTION.

Sooooo, by request the SA kitchen is now open for business!

This paper illustrates the challenges of integrating rigorous daylight and electric lighting simulation data with whole-building energy models, and defends the need for such integration in order to achieve aggressive energy savings in building designs. Through a case study example, we examine the ways daylighting – and daylighting simulation – drove the design of a large net-zero energy project.

It is still early in the collection and analysis of energy performance data, but it is already clear that high-performance commercial buildings—some "almost net-zero buildings"—can be constructed cost effectively, providing productive environments for occupants, reducing operating costs, and enhancing the competitiveness of commercial properties.

Rounded to two decimal places, there are 2.54 centimetres in an inch. I don't know what this has to do with Colette and Hannah Thurlow, who decided to name their band 2:54, but it's hard to imagine that they spent their school days memorising measurements in conversion tables. Listening to their self-titled debut album, it's more likely that they spent their teenage years listening to The Jesus And Mary Chain, shopping for leather jackets and red lipstick and working their way through all seven seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (thanks Wikipedia!).
Their music has a gothic quality to it for sure – not in the full-scale, white make-up, clumpy shoes, Marylin Manson sort of way that is, but in the same way that Joy Division and early PJ Harvey albums have a gothic quality about them. Goth chic, I suppose you'd call it, and it's evidenced in the way 'Revolving' opens 2:54 with Hannah Thurlow's choppy guitars, Colette Thurlow's séance-like vocals and eerily windswept dynamics. It's followed by 'You're Early', which combines, er, choppy guitars, séance-like vocals and eerily windswept dynamics. By the time you're nine tracks in and you reach 'Ride', with its choppy guitars, séance-like vocals and eerily windswept dynamics, you have to wonder: did 2:54 never dare to play around with the dials on their amplifiers, or was it simply that their local supermarket only stocked the 'spooky forest' Ambi Pur refills for their studio's ambience-setting air freshener?
If you're a glass-half-full kind of guy, you'd applaud 2:54 for constructing and sustaining such a vivid and impressive atmosphere around their songs, as so many young bands struggle to find a sound that's all their own and unmistakably so. But there is a template to 2:54's songs that's hard not to notice, and while it's no different to the way verse/chorus/verse templates are propagated in all contemporary pop music, you still feel that the Thurlows aren't doing themselves justice as artists.
Like every band ever (probably), 2:54 are best when they break from their formula, whether it's for just a moment or an entire track. The chanted vowels that bring 'Revolving' to a climax, for example, are ominously unusual, while 'Sugar's mechanical lead guitar lines are brilliantly cold and calculating. 'Scarlet' is like a homicidal maniac finding a fresh victim – pausing to ponder its humanity as Hannah Thurlow's guitar drips like cold sweat, before a bloodthirsty riff starts tearing off pieces of flesh. Finally, the oh-so-savage 'Creeping' bursts through the album's ambience like a madman's axe through a bathroom door.
A bit too often though, 2:54 glides past without leaving much of an impression. A song like 'A Salute', though it fits in fine with the overall feel of the album, won't haunt you in the way that the tense tremolo arm trickery of 'Circuitry' might. But then this is also an album without any major gaffes (save for the singer Colette's out-of-character X Factor audition moment in the middle of that latter track), making it easy to enjoy, if not adore. Next time, we'd just like a little less 2:54-by-numbers.

Mid-Valley Comprehensive Health Center is charting bold new ground in diabetic eye care and tele-medicine to design more patient-centered services for our community.
Saving the Vision of Diabetic Patients
Diabetic disease is the leading cause of blindness among working-age Americans. Diabetes is the most prevalent chronic disease in our population. Improving eye care for diabetic patients improves their lives and is known to save money for the patient, our health system and society. At Mid-Valley CHC, we implemented new guidelines and procedures to meet increasing demand, which resulted in a 60% increase in clinical capacity. Increasing capacity at the Mid-Valley CHC Retinal Laser Clinic decreased clinic wait-time from more than one year to approximately four weeks. Patients with progressive eye disease are treated on-site with timely laser procedures preventing costly complications.
Using Tele-Medicine to Provide Access for Dermatology Services and Care
In a community needs assessment of access to specialty services, Dermatology was identified as one of the top five services in high demand, but was less accessible to patients. Together with the Valley Care Community Consortium, Mid-Valley CHC and various Community Partners worked to reduce the wait times and increase access to Dermatology through the use of a Teledermatology process. The team effort significantly decreased appointment wait times and increased patient access to this care.
If you seek a regular health care provider, visit the Mid-Valley Comprehensive Health Center to establish your medical home and get linked to services.

The official theatrical trailer for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is here, and it's got all the crushed headboards, earnest post-adolescents, vampires and werewolves you'd expect.

Two of the hardest-hit American automakers are still parked on the Fortune 500 list released Sunday by the magazine, revealing that even as the auto industry hit the skids, it still raked in major revenue in 2008.
The 500 companies on the list did the "worst" business in the list's history, Forbes reported.
General Motors and Ford Motor Corp. landed at number six and seven on the list, while first place went to oil juggernaut Exxon Mobil, which earned over $442 million in revenue last year.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The American auto industry received billions last year in federal aid, and both Ford and GM banked over $146 million in revenue -- but GM lost $30 million in profits, while Ford dipped over $14 million in the red.
They weren't alone -- 128 of the 500 companies on the list ended up in the red for the year. Combined, the 500 firms were $500 billion in the hole, according to Fortune.
That's because the Fortune 500 list measures the total earned revenue -- not actual profit -- of the largest companies nationwide.
Big-name oil companies Chevron and ConocoPhillips also made the top 500, taking home third and fourth place to notch three fossil-fuel firms in the top 10. Wal-Mart came in second with a staggering $405 million in revenue.
AT&T, Hewlett Packard and energy producer Valero Energy rounded out the top ten.
American International Group (AIG), Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac were also on Fortune magazine's list - ranking at number 245, 112, and 220 respectively, as the three companies posted collective losses of over $200 million.
It will be featured in the May 4 issue of Fortune magazine.

It wasn't as easy as the 3-0 match score made it appear.
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons opened with a 25-10 set win over visiting Tennessee State University Tuesday night in the home opener at Allen Arena. But Tennessee State refused to go away easily losing the second set 25-19 and jumping out to a 7-1 lead before falling 25-21 in set three.
"I'm a little disappointed we didn't play with more energy at the end," Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "In the first set we did a nice job of getting out and dictating the momentum."
The match win was the 19th straight for the Lady Bisons at Allen Arena. It was the third straight time the Lady Bisons have swept an opponent.
Rosenthal thinks that he could have done more to keep his team focused, especially between the second and third sets.
"I would have liked to have seen better defensive pressure, especially in the third set," Rosenthal said. "Some of that falls on me. Some of it falls on the girls."
The Lady Bisons had four service aces, but also made nine service errors.
"I thought in the third set we let up on our serves and gave TSU extra opportunities," Rosenthal said. "We were hitting the ball over the net instead of serving it. There is a big difference."
Rosenthal was looking for a way to discourage TSU offensively. He brought Kelsey Neumann, 6-foot-3, off of the bench in the second and third sets.
"We were looking for Kelsey to block the ball and change the other team's offense," Rosenthal said. "TSU's offense was on a roll until we brought Kelsey in. All of sudden it came to a halt and it wasn't by coincidence."
Senior middle blocker Alex Kelly was the only player to finish in double figures in kills with 10. She also posted a double-double with 10 digs, tying for the match high with freshman Caitlin "Dot" Dotson. It was the first time this season Dotson has finished in double figures in digs.
TSU was led by Shaquita Williams with six kills. Kamille King made eight digs.
The Lady Bisons are 5-2. Tennessee State slipped to 0-5.
This weekend the Lady Bisons will be playing in the third of four preconference tournaments when they travel to the University of South Carolina for the Gamecock Invitational. They will play Furman Friday at noon and South Carolina State a 5. The Lady Bisons will face host South Carolina Saturday at 11 a.m.

I am looking for a Python script that does the following:
- Uses a point (from a point shapefile) as the origin.
- Creates about 3 km line from point
- Based on an azimuth provided in the original point shapefile.
- Creates new entry in another shapefile with the new line

Feb 22, 2007 (CIDRAP News) – Scientists with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have finished mapping the genomes of more than 2,000 human and avian influenza viruses, an achievement that will help efforts to develop new flu vaccines and drugs, the NIH said yesterday.
The genetic data harvested in the Influenza Genome Sequencing Project have been deposited in GenBank, an Internet-accessible public database, the NIH said. The project is an effort of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
"Scientists around the world can use the sequence data to compare different strains of the virus, identify the genetic factors that determine their virulence, and look for new therapeutic, vaccine and diagnostic targets," NIH Director Elias Zerhouni, MD, said in a news release.
The sequencing project was launched in 2004, when limited genetic information on flu viruses was publicly available, Maria Y. Giovanni, PhD, who oversees the NIAID Microbial Sequencing Centers, commented in the news release. She said the project has vastly increased the sequence data available.
"Subsequently, there has been a marked increase in the number of scientists worldwide depositing influenza genome sequence data into the public domain including scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital [in Memphis] and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," Giovanni said.
The project is being conducted at the NIAID-funded Microbial Sequencing Center managed by The Institute for Genomics Research, of Rockville, Md. The center has recently increased its sequencing capacity to more than 200 viral genomes per month, the NIH said.
Most of the viruses sequenced so far have been human ones, but about 100 avian viruses that are in the public domain are being mapped as well, Giovanni told CIDRAP News in an interview.
She said the project has sequenced about three dozen H5N1 avian flu viruses, but all are low-pathogenic strains. "We don't have access right now to the [highly pathogenic] ones that are circulating" in Asia, she added.
Giovanni said the goal of the project from the start was to publish complete viral sequence data, not just sequences for particular proteins such as hemagglutinin and neuraminidase.
"Within 45 days of completion everything gets put in GenBank for everyone to have access to," she said. "We're hoping that we're actually starting a trend. If we put it in GenBank and somebody else puts data in, then you have this incredibly rich source of data that's very diverse."
To obtain viral isolates for sequencing, the NIAID has advertised the project at conferences and by other word-of-mouth avenues, according to Giovanni and Karen Lacourciere, PhD, an influenza program officer in the NIAID's respiratory disease branch
Lacourciere said putting flu virus genetic data in the public domain has become "a very hot issue" in the flu community in the past year. "As a result, more and more people have become aware of this project and have come to us," she said. "With the threat of a pandemic, I think people are recognizing the importance of sharing data rather than saving it for their own publication."
Giovanni said it's difficult to estimate how many research studies have used sequence data harvested by the project, since GenBank contains data from the NIAID and other sources. "We know right now of two publications that have been based on this data, but I'm sure more will come," she commented.
The project has received viruses from industry, academic institutions, international organizations, and other government agencies, she said. There is no cost to the submitting scientist or agency.
"We've pretty much sequenced everything submitted," she said. The process for a given isolate takes a few months.
To help interpret the data generated by the project, the NIAID has funded the BioHealthBase Bioinformatics Resource Center, according to the news release. The center provides scientists with "software tools and a robust point-of-entry for accessing influenza genomic and related data in a user-friendly format."
The bioinformatics center is being developed by researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and specialists at Northrop Grumman Information Technology's Life Sciences Division in Rockville, Md., the NIAID said.

Plenty of Buzz
October 31, 2007
There are people who think pro football is more popular than pro baseball.
We're in the middle of the NFL season now. The World Series is over. Yet, baseball is getting plenty of exposure. Baseball is the greatest talking game of any sport.
We're in the free agency period right now, players are filing and up until Nov. 12 teams can only talk to agents about interest. Money can't be talked about until after that date. It is kind of like going to a candy store and not having any money. Yummy-yums are everywhere.
There's plenty of buzz in the air. Fans are commenting on Phillies Insider and the message board on this site. The front office is getting plenty of direction: "sign Aaron Rowand, don't sign him." "Bring back Curt Schilling; please don't." "You need a third baseman, not pitching."
We'd like to re-sign Aaron, Kyle Lohse and J. C. Romero. Instead of just calling the respective agents, Gillick and crew visited the agents the week after we were eliminated from the postseason. Whether we can sign them remains to be seen. By being free agents, they are entitled to check out the market.
Everyone knows the Phillies need pitching. Everyone knows the market is thin (dangerous is how Gillick describes it).
When the free agent market begins to unfold, alternate plans need to be in place. If player A goes to club X, you need a plan B. Perhaps free agency doesn't fill a need but a trade does. Being creative in the trade market is something that is being kicked around.
Talks will heat up next week when all the general managers meet in Orlando, Monday through Thursday. More news and more rumors will be coming out next week.
Rumors are certainly a part of baseball, in-season and during the off-season. Think back to the July 31 trading deadline and how much buzz there was. I believe the NFL trading deadline was October 15. There was no buzz, just yawns.

Let me post something that I am sure would raise Garcia's hackles… but, were the "60 Minutes" news team to interview him, I wonder what he would say to the question of, "Given that the Phillies paid you $10M last year and you delivered to them very, very little, WHAT do you feel you owe them THIS year in terms of showing them some payback?"
Even though "it's all about the money," it would seem that if Garcia had any conscience, he would say, "Hey, team, I didn't produce… let me show you that I can in 2008. If I can show that, we can then discuss 2009."
A pipedream? Probably. Yet, it would show the Phillies that he has some class, assuming he can still pitch, if he tried to make up for them in 2008 that which he could not deliver in 2007… and to do it for free (he's hardly poor). After all, the Phillies paid him $10M — doesn't he have ANY sense of decency to show the Phillies that he isn't "just about the money"?
Damn, I wish I could think of somehnitg smart like that!

Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have helped answer an important question in the treatment of HIV-infected individuals: why, in patients receiving aggressive antiretroviral therapy who have no easily detectable HIV in their blood, does the virus rapidly rebound to high levels if the drugs are discontinued?
"Our new data suggest that the virus comes roaring back because of the normal stimulatory factors present in the environment of a patient's lymph nodes, notably signalling molecules called cytokines," says Anthony S. Fauci, NIAID Director and Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation (LIR). "In the absence of antiretroviral therapy, these factors activate HIV that is hiding in a latent form in immune system cells."
In a series of in vitro experiments, the NIAID researchers found that inductive factors can activate reservoirs of latent HIV in resting CD4+ T cells, if potent combinations of antiretroviral drugs are not present. Such drug combinations, which generally include a protease inhibitor and two or three other drugs, are commonly referred to as "highly active antiretroviral therapy" or HAART.
Dr. Fauci's team and two other groups recently demonstrated that reservoirs of latent HIV can be found in resting CD4+ T cells of patients who have taken HAART for many months (see, for i.e., Chun et al., PNAS, Nov. 25 1997). Among Dr. Fauci's new findings are data that suggest that it may prove possible to purge these reservoirs of latent HIV by activating resting, latently infected CD4+ T cells with cytokines, resulting in the death of these cells, while preventing further viral spread with HAART.
Dr. Fauci will present his laboratory's new observations at the 5th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Chicago, Ill., on Wednesday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the Sheraton Chicago Ballroom. The lecture is part of a special symposium chaired by Dr. Fauci called "Host Factors in HIV Infection: Implications for Therapy." The symposium also features Drs. Stephen O'Brien of the National Cancer Institute, Barton Haynes of the Duke University School of Medicine, and Giuseppe Pantaleo of Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois in Lausanne, Switzerland.
When an HIV-infected patient is taking HAART, inductive cytokines and other factors which can boost HIV production are still present in their lymph nodes and related organs. However, the powerful effects of HAART nonetheless can reduce viral replication dramatically, sometimes to the point where HIV can be found only in a latent form in resting CD4+ T cells. The new data suggest that when HAART is withdrawn, the effects of HIV-inducing cytokines and other factors once again promote the active production of virus.
"The findings underscore the risks involved in discontinuing antiretroviral therapy, even if a patient feels better and has a viral load that is 'undetectable' using standard assays," Dr. Fauci says. "Our data also stress the importance of developing comprehensive treatment strategies which not only block HIV replication but also modulate the host factors that drive such replication.
In studies dating back to the mid-1980s, Dr. Fauci and his team have shown that certain cytokines normally secreted by immune cells, particularly in the lymph nodes, can boost the replication of HIV. Blocking these so called "inductive" cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1-beta (IL-1 beta), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), can markedly reduce viral replication. Conversely, as LIR scientists first described in 1987, even resting, latently infected cells can be induced to actively produce HIV when cytokines such as TNF-alpha are added. More recent LIR experiments have shown that other stimuli, such as the activation of immune system cells by immunization, can also induce latently infected cells to actively produce HIV. In addition to these factors, a group of molecules called CC-chemokines, which suppress the replication of certain strains of HIV, can enhance the replication of HIV in some circumstances.
"HIV disease is a multifactorial process controlled by the complicated interplay of stimulatory and inhibitory factors concentrated in the lymphoid tissue, the centers of immune activity in the body," Dr. Fauci notes.
At the Chicago symposium, Dr. Fauci will present data from in vitro experiments involving latently infected CD4+ T cells drawn from HIV-infected, HAART-treated individuals, as well as from HIV-infected patients not receiving HAART.
In one series of experiments, the researchers found that after adding HAART to cultures of latently infected, resting CD4+ T cells, they were unable to induce with cytokines the production of HIV from the cells of either group of patients.
"However, when we took HAART out of the cultures, we were able to rapidly induce HIV replication with cytokines, even in cells from patients who had been on HAART for many months," says Dr. Fauci.
In another in vitro experiment, the researchers sought to determine if they could purge HIV from latently infected CD4+ T cells. They exposed the cells to the inductive cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2) for six days, both with and without HAART added to the cultures.
The researchers reasoned that if they induced latently infected CD4+ T cells with IL-2 in the absence of HAART, the cells would make virus and die, but would still infect other cells. Thus, inducing HIV with a cytokine but without HAART would have a detrimental effect. In the presence of HAART, the thinking went, cells induced to make virus would also die, but would be unable to infect new cells because of the powerful antiviral effects of the drugs. Thus, HAART together with IL-2 would lead to a depletion of latently infected cells.
In the experiments, the researchers found that latently infected CD4+ T cells that contained inducible virus and were treated with both IL-2 and HAART did, indeed, dramatically decline in number.
"This work provides the rationale to attempt to purge latently infected CD4+ T cells in HIV-infected patients by using a similar approach, i.e., by deliberately inducing virus expression in the setting of HAART," says Dr. Fauci.
NIAID researchers are currently testing this approach in HIV-infected volunteers receiving IL-2 and antiretroviral drugs at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md.

Diehard WWE fans will want to add the just-released book, Rey Mysterio: Behind the Mask, to their library. Who wouldn't want to find it sticking out of their DX merch Christmas stocking? But that doesn't mean it's a perfect book by any means. Having followed Mysterio's career for decades, I feel compelled to address both its pluses and minuses.
The book overall is an enjoyable read, but some of the more important aspects of his life, like his long friendship with Chris Benoit, are tactfully avoided. Well, we didn't expect that to be in there, it's just jarring to the heart that it isn't. For one of the smaller superstars (perhaps in stature but certainly not in his giant heart and skill set) to have accomplished so much, including a run as a WWE world champ, is truly amazing and deserving of a book. It's a good book, a primer for casuals and newer, younger WWE fans to get up to speed on the real �scar Guti�rrez and his high-flying roller coaster ride to his current stature within the company.
It's interesting he (or co-author Jeremy Roberts) starts the book by discussing that he'll simply refer to himself as Rey Mysterio (as opposed to Rey Mysterio/Misterio Jr.) and that from page one, he'll refer to his company as WWE or "the company" to avoid confusion. Rey plays fair in also stating he won't refer to any luchador by his real name unless they've already been unmasked. Roberts has previously written (or ghost-written) WWE Simon and Schuster books about Batista (Batista Unleashed) and WWE's Showdowns: The Top 20 Rivalries in the Past 20 Years.
What's Good
The discussions of his time in Mexico, his first gimmick as masked Colibri, how as a really small guy at the time he really had to fight just to get a try-out, and then fight to get a push besides getting noticed, were all great. But it all could've been even longer, including more details and some of the ribs and road stories he's personally told me about -- there's always more "good stuff!"
His fans, old and new, will also enjoy reading about his at-length training with his uncle who was already an established name, including in the U.S. thanks to various promotions in Southern California such as Red Bastien's syndicated "WIN" lucha libre TV show that aired in many major markets in the late '80s and early '90s. WIN was also the first mainstream TV exposure for Super Muneco, Eddy Guerrero and Konnan.
We learn of the behind-the-scenes fighting to avoid Eric Bischoff's desire to get the masks off the luchadors that Konnan had brought to WCW, so they could show more facial reaction and blend in. There's a nice chapter on his time in ECW and Konnan's extreme group Aztecas in Tijuana entitled "Going Extreme." I also learned some decent, new details about his family life as a husband and "Papi." When Eddy, Benoit and later Rey won one of WWE's world titles, we were all proud. And of course disappointed the title reign didn't last longer. But in his book, Rey is philosophical about it and doesn't appear to feel he's hit the glass ceiling. I think most will enjoy his retelling about what he believes is the first time he ever met and shook Eddy's hand, too. We learn a little about all the folks he met along his global career path, including Konnan, La Parka, Psycosis, the late AAA innovator Antonio Pena, plus his thoughts on CMLL's Paco Alonso, Paul Heyman and everyone in ECW at the time. Not to be forgotten are the "wolfpak de hermanos" in Rey, Chris Jericho, Eddy, Art Barr, Vampiro and Norman Smiley.
It was a nice touch -- especially during his recent medical crisis -- that he also dedicated the book to his uncle Miguel (Rey Sr.) "who trained the hell out of me" besides his wife, children y familia. And that shot of him as Colibri at only 13 years old, posing in his gear with the legendary Tiniablas Sr. is great, bleached blond hair and all.
What Could Be Better (or in more detail)
We all know the drill in that the brunt of any book will focus primarily on one's WWF/E career, which is smart on "the company's" part, and just the way it is from a business standpoint. But there just was so much history in his specific work in Mexico and Japan, those first few Ron Skoler-purchased AAA shows in the early 1990s to the Los Angeles Sports Arena, Chicago UIC Pavilion and Madison Square Garden's "Felt Forum." There are not enough Art Barr in New York stories -- at least for those of us who worked for Skoler and were there.
Rey has always been a totally polite, politically correct gentleman, sensitive of other's feelings, so there's really no dirt of any kind here for those who might crave that. But if you know Rey/Oscar, you'd know he'd never poison-pen anyone. He's often said his parents taught him the right path in life -- "that if you can't say something good about someone, don't," although perhaps he's seen and internalized enough things negative to offset the positives.
There could be more detail on the riots at some of the bigtime AAA and Konnan/Tijuana Aztecas shows: what caused them and how they were handled. And I'm sure some would want him to spill his guts on Dr. Phil Astin and his knowledge and/or involvement with the disgraced Atlanta doctor, sentenced for provided pills to athletes -- including Mysterio. But that salacious-type material isn't in this 358-page book.
Nor are there any digs at CMLL's recent copycat creation in the young superstar Mystico, who with the colored contacts, 619 and similar moves absorbed into his repertoire really seems more like a Frankenstein Rey Jr. creation than even Rey Mysterio's actual son, who wears a similar mask and gear and is tattooed in the same spots as his more famous cousin. Rey Sr.'s son earlier this year was reportedly advertised as "Rey Mysterio Jr." rather than the more truth-in-advertising Hijo de Rey Mysterio Sr. I would've loved to have learned Rey's thoughts on his cousin telling this reporter last year that he'd soon be going to WWE to team with Rey Jr. If Mystico isn't coming to WWE, one would guess Rey Jr. doesn't need, nor is having a lookalike come in to do a double Undertaker-type angle (however fun in the right hands that might play out).
I'm sure most who marvel at all the trendsetting and innovative moves and acrobatics that wow fans every night, won't be surprised that there was an addiction to pain medication. Rey's been doing what he does for many years, but since starting with WWF/E has more recently done it in a wiser, protective fashion.
And, like any book, there are a few errors that pop up that could have been avoided. Rey talks about the famed Tokyo restaurant "Rivera" when it is actually the Ribera steakhouse.
What's Missing
There's not enough text and detail (and photos) on his career before ECW, WCW and WWF. Although he talks quite a bit about Eddy (Eddie) Guerrero and "the impact Eddie made on his career in WWE," the book would have been more satisfying with even more Eddy material like their time together in Mexico, Japan, ECW and WCW, plus more on Barr and, of course, Benoit. Not sure if there was any pressure to avoid the Benoit discussion, but there's no mention of his long friendship with Chris, unlike in the non-WWE Chris Jericho autobiography, which faced it head-on.
He does talk about Eddy in the chapter "The Worst Day In My Life," but a lot therein is on the Eddy/Papi angle involving his son, Dominik, and not the full meat of their long relationship. With so much of his life's history with su hermanos (his brothers), Eddy, Art and Benoit for example, I'd loved to have read more.
Plus perhaps what he thinks about Mil Mascaras. There has to be a natural rivalry there, as Mysterio has supplanted Mil as the best known masked Luchador of the modern era from a global perspective. I know Mil in his long-promised book will be talking about it! (Note: Mil told me in 2005 he won't write his own autobiography until he finally and totally retires from the ring, because he's probably going to spill a lot of stuff that's happened since 1962 over a much longer career.)
A full chapter on his thoughts about having to briefly heel -- unmasked -- in WCW would've been appreciated as well.
Overall, we're all going to read this book and enjoy it for what it is. It should do very well in Europe and Japan, besides of course in North America. I'm anxious to see if it will be translated into Spanish for sale in a key current market for WWE.
The "mask" in this book is briefly removed, just too briefly for us to really see all that there is behind that mask.

As a Palmer graduate, you have the ability to identify others who possess the skills necessary to become a chiropractor. They may be one of your patients, a student at a career fair or someone attending a health talk. It all starts by simply talking and listening to others, which is a natural part of being a D.C. For example, you may have students who are unsure of what they want to do after graduation. This is a perfect opportunity for you to plant the seeds for them to consider chiropractic and attending Palmer College. After all, Palmer College is The Trusted Leader in Chiropractic Education. Beginning on page 14, eight students share the important role alumni played in their decision to attend Palmer. One of the most valuable benefits of referring a student is that you get to help select the quality of the individual who may one day be working in your community—whether in their own office down the road or as an associate in your practice. This simple act also helps ensure that when you retire, other chiropractors with the same conviction as yours will be there to continue the care of your patients and those that follow. To learn how you can attract prospective students, contact the Alumni Office. We have all of the promotional materials you'll need, including a PowerPoint presentation that explains chiropractic, the value of a Palmer education and the satisfaction that comes from being a chiropractor. We can also answer any referral questions you may have. By referring a prospective student, you can play a big part in the preparation of the next generation of chiropractors and, in turn, help shape the future of chiropractic. article >

Research & Negotiations in Design
PART 1 of ASSIGNMENT 1:
Improv Art is the conceptual idea that perpetuates the artistic and innovative design creations of Jason Eppink. Many of his projects including his Take A Seat campaign involve the New York City subway station as that is his main mode of transportation. Because he is always in the subway stations, he seeks to make the experience of waiting, boarding and passing through a subway station more enjoyable for the average American. Eppinks projects in general are focused around the concept of community involvement and bettermen; he seeks to create Universal Design that all experience and appreciate.
-organization: Jason Eppink is a communal designer and artist who's goal is to design for the needs and appreciation of ALL rather then SOME. Eppink's work is featured on Investing in Social Art Projects art blog.
-procedures He is spontaneous in nature who is inspired on a whim and acts on those points of inspiration instantly. Most of his designs have a 'prankster' attitude about them as well.
-the people involved Jason Eppink is the designer who creates universal design that is meant for all to utilize. To put the "take a seat" project in context the videos below are portrayal of several of this other projects.
-the situation within which it takes place Eppink's designs happen many times in subway stations or just in natural city settings as well.
social design: the main focus of this design project is to provide seating/comfort to a wider audience range at any given time (to lessen the physical stress of traveling via subway)
community design: design that will benefit the entirety of the New York subway riding community regardless of age and socioeconomic status. (everyone can appreciate the comfort of sitting over standing for a long period of time)
innovative design: creative design, unique, while also aimed at solving a widely felt problem
environmental design: environmentally friendly design because it takes someone's trash that would have been left to decay in the streets or to rot in the landfill and recycles it by reassigning its purpose/situation.
PART 2 of ASSIGNMENT 1
Previously, we identified several design negotiations in Eppink's Take a Seat project
*Finalized Design Negotiations List as of November 17th:*
Comfort vs. Clutter- comfort of people in subway station vs chairs being clunky and taking up limited/valuable space
**REASSESSMENT as of November 20th: too broad/clutter is not really a pertinent issue just not aesthetically pleasing whereas some of the other negotiations are more pertinent in the safety/life of the person experiencing the subway space.
Flow of traffic vs. increase of sitting spaces- chairs limiting walkways for the cause of creating sitting spaces
**REASSESSMENT as of November 20th: too broad again-need a narrow and pertinent negotiation to further analyze.
Individual (introverted) experience vs. group (extroverted) experience- standing (annoyed, waiting for a bus, anxious, nervous, stressed) is more of an introverted experience while sitting and congregating comfortably is more of a group event in which dialogue is more likely to occur (breaks the tension/ice and is a stress reliever)
**REASSESSMENT as of November 20th: an abstract concept whose pertinence is diluted by more obvious design negotiations-possibly a final decicion
Timeliness vs. Friendliness- being on time for destination/job-being prompt and on time vs. sitting, relaxing, losing track of time, conversating
**REASSESSMENT as of November 20th: WE LIKE this one because it makes the abstract idea of the individual vs. group experience more tangible and easier to grasp. Standing and being frustrated allows people to think individually while also enabling them to complete the task that they set out to do in a timely manner where as sitting and being comfortable opens up dialogue and friendliness that could cause a detour from the original time itinerary.
Comfort vs. Safety- comfort of sitting vs. hazardous clunky objects in subway space
**REASSESSMENT as of November 20th: WE LIKE this concept because many of the previous concept related to this concept at their core, also it is referred to in the video posted on our initial site (it is listed below) as many people protested this design for safety measures-definately a FINAL
After a series of debates, trying to determine what would be the best and most important negotiation to mention, we concluded that the negotiations timeliness vs. friendliness as well as comfort vs. safety are the main points.
::FINAL Negotiation BreakDowns as of November 23rd::
TIMELINESS vs. FRIENDLINESS: this is the major design negotiation because people are in subway stations for timely and efficient purposes-to go from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible.The environment of standing and waiting passengers helps to perpetuate this timeliness. This chair project changes the level of time efficiency as people get more comfortable in the chairs and become increasingly more friendly with one another-as people talk more and become more friendly, the efficiency of the subway station changes. (people lose track of time in their comfortable state and negotiate their timeliness for their comfort-enables distraction)
COMFORT vs. SAFETY: Again the concept of comfort is key in these design negotiations as implementing a seating system is meant for the sole purpose of lessening the load of the people waiting in the subway stations. However, this argument is based on the fact that having extra chairs in the already small and limited space of an underground subway system is hazardous to people's safety within the subway situation.
Jason Eppink Video Interview of Take a Seat (design negotiation reference)
Jason Eppink's Creative Triumphs
Rooted in New York City subway station, Take a Seat is an ongoing social design project focused on the issue of available seating. By supplying used but perfectly functional chairs from dumpsters and piles of trash, the members of this project were able to reassign chair locations in areas of the station at which subway goers would usually have to stand for extended periods of time. The success of this project dwells on the fact that it makes someones trash another persons useful asset just by the simple idea of reassigning locations of the chairs.
notes: This design project was unique in the fact that it was more of a service then a design. Similar to Eppink's project that we studied previously in 1060 (the portable wooden bridge built over a messy sidewalk leak), this design is meant for the purpose of serving others without much cost to either side. Specifically, Take A Seat takes used and disposed of chairs and assigns them to a new location and purpose for which they will be adopted and loved which is an awesome alternative to letting it end up in the landfills or to rot as pollution. Putting these used chairs in subway stations is a social design from which all can benefit.
social design, community design, innovative design, environmental design
Usability of chairs vs Aesthetics of chairs, Effective increase of sitting spaces vs. Clutter/hazardous, Spontaneous chair bringing (temporal chairs) vs issue of stealing and crime arising from chair mobility, desire for more seating vs surplus of seating (is there a cap on the number of chairs? who will enforce it?)
REWORKED Negotiations:
Comfort vs. Clutter
Flow of traffic vs. increase of sitting spaces
Individual (introverted) experience vs. group (extroverted) experience
Timeliness vs. Friendliness
Comfort vs. Safety

The New York Street Advertising Takeover (NYSAT) Project was developed and funded by a group called the Public Ad Campaign. The goal of the project was to bring public spaces back to the people. Many of the advertisements seen on billboards in major cities are illegal; yet they do not attract the attention of city officials. One company that is responsible for 120 illegal advertisements is NPA City Outdoor. The NYSAT Project set out do whitewash as many of these street level advertisements as possible to bring the public landscapes back to the people and remove the consumerist effects of the ads.
The individuals who were involved in the project are of many different professions and backgrounds. They are brought together by the common idea that public areas should reflect the feelings of the citizens. During the project, five members were arrested and many of the advertisements were replaced within hours. Earlier this year, the Public Ad Campaign held the Toronto Street Advertising Takeover (TOSAT) and has expressed interest in holding more of these events in various cities.
We chose this project because of its roots in the importance and significance of public spaces. The NYSAT Project spread through word of mouth and recruited individuals of many backgrounds. All of whom were interested in bringing attention to the consumerism and advertising that has been ingrained in our everyday lives (all of which was illegal as well). It also fostered a medium for which citizens could express their own feelings and spread anti-commercial messages. After the whitewashing was completed, artists came out to engage the public spaces in ways that would be more personal to fellow users of the space.

The Flu – What Is It Really?
For one to completely understand in Taylor how the flu behaves, they must develop a basic understanding of the difference between a bacterium and a virus. They are both tiny germs capable of invading the human body. Because of their genetic makeup, they are capable of creating different symptoms in response to the way the body reacts to them. Some of the symptoms they create are caused by changes they make to the body on a cellular level.
Over the last 50 years, scientists have developed a thorough system to fight the growth of bacteria by developing antibiotics. It was originally thought in Taylor that antibiotics would have an effect on viral infections. However, research has shown that taking antibiotics while one is infected by a virus could be deeply detrimental to their health. They not only fail to treat the viral infection, but they also increase the risk of developing a secondary bacterial infection.
The flu we experience in Taylor is a viral illness that is contracted from contact with a person who is infected, or by coming into contact with unwashed, infected surfaces. After the virus moves into the body, it lives in the back of the throat. Here, it multiples until it reaches a viral load where it can successfully affect its host.
In Taylor you may notice that the way the virus is transmitted, and its associated mechanisms are similar to those of the common cold. While this may be true, the flu is not the same as a cold, not even on a genetic level. They originate from completely separate viruses, and they mutate in very different rates and methods.
It is true that the common cold and the flu share many of the same symptoms. The common cold will cause an unpleasant, but mild set of symptoms. The flu, on the other hand, causes more severe symptoms and is more likely to cause serious, possibly life threatening complications.
What Class of Virus is The Flu In Taylor?
The flu is categorized as a contagious viral illness affecting the respiratory system. Depending on the strain of the virus, and the immune system of its host, it will cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe. At times, the severe effects it can have on the human body can be fatal, especially if it is not treated by qualified medical professionals.
Because of the potential for developing severe, life-threatening complications, the CDC recommends that people take charge of their own health care and take the right steps to prevent contracting the flu virus. Prevention can be as simple as getting a flu shot every year and following proper health and safety precautions, like washing your hands after touching things, or eating.
Statistics show that between 5% and 20% of the American population contract the flu each year. Unfortunately, out of the people who do not receive the vaccine on an annual basis, 360 people die from flu related complications, or the severity of their symptoms. To make this statistic even more sad, the majority of the fatalities are in children, elderly, and those who are immune compromised in Taylor. The subsection of the immune compromised population most affected are asthmatics, diabetics, and people with heart disease.
Fortunately, scientists in Taylor are constantly looking for ways to better map out the methods in which the flu transmits from one person to another, and the way the virus grows once it does enter the body. Because of their breakthroughs, they are able to provide new information to the public constantly by utilizing the media. Recently, scientific goals have been focused on natural products people can successfully use to prevent contracting the flu, and treat the virus once they have developed symptoms.
What Symptoms Are Experienced with the Flu In Taylor?
People who do contract the flu in Taylor will suffer from unpleasant symptoms. These symptoms can range from high fevers, chills, muscle aches and pains, sore throat, runny and stuffy nose, fatigue, and a dry cough. While these are the most common symptoms, others may experience additional symptoms, like stomach aches, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and even diarrhea. While these additional symptoms are possible in any case, they are more likely to manifest in children than in adults.
People who suffer from a severe case of the flu may experience more severe symptoms. They may develop bacterial pneumonia, sinus infections, painful ear infections, and possible dehydration. These bacterial invasions are typically caused by a weakened immune system trying to fight off the virus, and accidentally allowing bacteria to infiltrate the body.
Where Did the Flu Get Its Name?
The flu received its name as an abbreviation of the virus causing the illness, influenza. The flu is actually a group of respiratory diseases caused by infection by the influenza A. or influenza B. viruses. Both viruses are more active in the winter months, and in the cooler, early part of spring. This pattern has been mapped out scientifically, which makes it easier for medical providers in Taylor to organize prevention and treatment methods for individuals, and groups of individuals.
This scientific research has also pinned down various methods people unknowingly reduce their risk of contracting the virus. For example, people in Taylor who spend more time outside and eat a diet that allows them to take in high amounts of vitamin D directly from being exposed to sunshine during the winter and early spring, have a much lower risk for contracting the flu virus in the event they are exposed to it.
How to Know If You Have the Flu
The common cold and the flu virus usually cycle around communities at the same time. The symptoms of both viruses in Taylor can be very similar, but the symptoms experienced with the flu are a lot worse than the common cold can cause. The common cold will drag you down and make you miserable. The flu will make you miserable to the point where you cannot even drag yourself out of bed.
To date, science has tracked down more than one-hundred strains of the cold virus. Most of these viruses do not mutate past their original form, so the strains are easy to track. The flu virus in Taylor is much more difficult to track down because new strains evolve every couple of years, which makes vaccinating difficult.
Because the strains of flu virus change every few years vaccines must change with them. Developing these vaccines can be extremely difficult because scientists are not able to anticipate exactly what genetic mutations will take place with the flu virus. Because of this, all vaccines are developed using live samples from the previous year's flu outbreak, which leaves people open to developing a mild case of the virus, even if they have been vaccinated.
How Does the Flu Virus Spread in Taylor?
In Taylor the flu virus spreads from one person to another through infected respiratory secretions. This means that any fluid originating in the mouth or nose could be infected during flu season. These secretions are typically released when someone sneezes or coughs without using the right precautions. Because the flu virus in Taylor is easy to transmit from person to person, any surface these secretions come into contact with can be infected, and become an object of transmission.
Because the virus is easy to transmit, people who live in close quarters are at higher risk for contracting the virus. Classrooms, college dorms, hospitals, nursing homes, and office buildings in Taylor are prime locations to get sick.
Something as simple as coughing into one's hand, sneezing without covering their mouth and nose, or did not wash their hands before touching services can leave others at risk. Once the surface is infected, all a person must do is touch the surface and then touch near their mouth, near their nose, or anywhere on their face. Even if one touches a doorknob and later rubs their eyes, they are exposing themselves to a hearty dose of the virus.
After being exposed in Taylor, the virus takes between 24-hours to four days to incubate before the person begins to show symptoms.
Taylor the flu virus typically lasts between one to two weeks. Treatment is symptom management and immune support. The majority of people who contract the flu find that their immune system is able to fight it off and heal their body without medical care. However, the body requires plenty of fluids, a lot of rest, medications for fever, and proper nutrition. One should never follow the old wife's tale of "feed a cold, starve a fever" as it has no scientific basis. In order to properly heal, the body needs plenty of calories and an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals to fight off a virus
Urgent Care Center Benefits That Make It Worth It
Anyone who takes care of the filing in a doctor's office knows just how overwhelming the job can be, especially when the doctor has many patients and files for patients that they are no longer seeing. One way to cut back on a lot of your work is to purge the files you no longer need, which will free up space for new files and other information. It is also good to purge your files in order to save time and money. Purging files is pretty easy to do once you have the right tools such as software and shredders.
- Figure out which files you need to keep, and which ones you no longer need to keep in your system. You can either go through all of your files manually, or take advantage of a software package such as PurgeDrive Plus or Data Destroyer that will take the inventory for you, and let you know which files are no longer in use and therefore unnecessary. And of course, you want to make sure that you are complying with all relevant regulations about how long files must be kept.
- If you are using software to purge your files, there will probably be a tool that will allow you to do this automatically. In most software's it is generally a 'purge now' or 'get rid of now.' Once you click this button, you will get a confirmation message asking you to confirm if you want to proceed with the purge. Software packages come with step-by-step instructions, so if you're not sure what's to be done, simply read these instructions.
- Pack away paper files. If you are also using paper files, once you purge a file, you should take the paper file that goes with it and either destroy it by shredding or pack it away in a box with other files you no longer need and put them where they are not going to be in your way, perhaps in a storeroom or other unused, secure room in your office building. If your files are digital, you can create a back-up disc to keep the files on, just in case you may need them.
Medical records have sensitive information on them, and need to be disposed of properly. Safest ways of destroying hard copies of medical records are incineration or shredding. However, keep in mind that by law medical records need to maintained for a certain number of years. Each state has different guidelines, so make sure you are aware of them before destroying any medical records.
Starting A Medical Clinic
Medical clinic software is highly useful in seamlessly integrating the various functions and departments of a clinic. The efficient and smooth running of a clinic or a nursing home requires proper and timely coordination between the various departments and the concerned staff. Use of software that covers the overall management of the clinic, billing and the scheduling of patients is the key to efficient and successful operations.
Medical Clinic Software: Areas Covered
Medical clinic software generally covers all aspects of the running of a clinic. It includes features that aid in:
- The overall management of the clinic by organizing patient information and their medical records in such a way that they are easily accessible to the doctors.
- Streamlining the clinic's billing systems to allow for automatic billing in accordance with the treatment provided to a patient and the applicable taxes. This feature allows automatic updating of invoices, payments and stocks.
- Patient record management by keeping track of a patient's previous visits, his medical history and any specific type of allergies that he may have. The software also provides quick access to all the necessary details about a patient and thus ensures speedy treatment.
- Scheduling of patient and other appointments. This feature allows you to plan and organize the calendars and appointments of multiple surgeons or physicians in your clinic. It also facilitates the storage of medical schedules, including patient appointments and calls, business schedules that include meetings, calls, seminars and personal appointments.
- Inventory management by keeping track of the status of medicines and other necessary medical equipment. It also facilitates timely replacement or refurbishment of the medicines and equipment used on a regular basis in the clinic. Medical clinic software also allows for the placement of instant purchase orders and auto generation of purchase notes and goods received notes.
In addition to all these features, using such software is a safe option and its misuse can be avoided by incorporating different user accounts for varied operators like nurses, doctors and the administrative staff. This feature can be used to restrict access to certain important information to all the users.
Benefits of Medical Clinic Software
