Annual Insights report cites lowest drug trend in seven years driven by ongoing weakness in the economy, lower drug utilization and higher generic dispensing rates
WOONSOCKET, R.I., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS) today released its annual Insights Report, which reviews drug trend and highlights key issues in pharmacy care. In 2011, the drug trend for the company's pharmacy benefit management (PBM) employer clients (2.1 percent) and health plan clients (2.2 percent) represented the company's lowest recorded trend for the past seven years. In addition, CVS Caremark estimates that its PBM clients saved nearly $2.4 billion in 2011 due to improved medication adherence for chronic conditions.
"Over the past several years, CVS Caremark has conducted research on the causes and impact of medication nonadherence and we know that taking medications for chronic diseases as directed keeps patients healthier and helps avoid extra costs associated with nonadherence," says Troyen A. Brennan, MD, MPH, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Caremark. "Based on our research, we have implemented programs to help our customers and members improve their adherence and in 2011 the results of these programs increased optimal adherence rates for our clients, resulting in nearly $2.4 billion in overall health care savings across our book of business."
"Last year, even consumers with insurance continued to feel the impact of a sluggish economic recovery and responded by rationing their health care spending, resulting in relatively flat utilization of pharmacy services," said Per Lofberg, president of CVS Caremark's pharmacy benefit management business. "As a company focused on helping people on their path to better health we worked closely with our clients to find opportunities to control costs through formulary management and increased utilization of generic drugs while also continuing to promote programs to improve medication adherence and keep members healthy."
During 2011, the generic dispensing rate (GDR) for the company's book of business grew to 74.1 percent due to the combination of a stream of patent expirations for blockbuster branded drugs and the company's successful implementation of formulary and plan design strategies to encourage the use of cost-effective generic drugs.
Another trend driver in 2011 was continued growth in the utilization of complex specialty pharmaceuticals. CVS Caremark book of business analysis shows that while specialty drugs may make up as little as 2.5 percent of a payor's total prescriptions, they can add up to 31 percent of overall pharmacy spend. Over the next few years the impact of specialty medications on pharmacy spend will continue to grow as more specialty drugs enter the market and higher cost per unit prices continue. In 2011, specialty drug trend ranged from 16.5 percent for employer clients to 19.1 percent for our health plan clients.
Drug price was also one of the largest drivers of trend in 2011 for CVS Caremark commercial clients with Average Wholesale Price (AWP) per day trend showing price increases across both specialty and non-specialty branded drugs. In fact, since 2007, brand drug price inflation has increased 27 percent. CVS Caremark takes these types of market developments into account when developing our formulary and plan design strategies, which promote the use of generic drugs whenever possible and provide for the appropriate use of single-source brand drugs when necessary. We work with our clients to address the impact of price and drug mix by implementing narrower formularies, Dispense as Written (DAW) penalties and step therapy plan designs to help promote the use of clinically appropriate and cost-effective medications.
The cost savings due to improved adherence was calculated using the company's proprietary Pharmacy Care Economic Model (PCEM), which enables CVS Caremark to calculate the financial value of improved pharmacy care by taking a holistic approach reviewing adherence, gaps in care and use of generic alternatives. The company's innovative pharmacy care programs such as Pharmacy Advisor® for diabetes, are succeeding in moving a significant portion of PBM members to optimal levels of medication adherence. The savings calculated using the PCEM are due to medical cost avoidance, drug cost savings and productivity loss avoidance.

Everyone knows that riding a bicycle is an excellent way to get around, save money, burn calories, and keep additional carbon from negatively impacting our environment. Riding a bicycle is also extremely safe. A study done by Failure Analysis, Inc. compared a variety of transportation alternatives (auto, motorcycle, bicycling, and commercial air travel) on a fatalities per millions hours of exposure. Here is what they found:
The numbers are very clear - those who ride in a predictable and safe way will dramatically reduce their chances of ever experiencing a significant accident!
And while most people are concerned about a collision with a motor vehicle, that doesn't happen very often – in fact, only 18% of cyclist falls have anything to do with a motor vehicle.
Source: Kaplan, "Characteristics of the Regular Adult Bicycle User"
When a cyclist does get into a collision with a motor vehicle, the cyclist usually loses, so it's important to avoid these situations as much as possible. Boise Street Smart Cycling is dedicated to providing Boise area cyclists with the knowledge and skills to keep them out of situations where collisions with motor vehicles occur. Staying safe on your bicycle means being alert, visible, predictable, and assertive.

NEW YORK (AP) - Singer Andy Williams' eclectic art collection has brought $46 million at a New York City auction.
NEW YORK (AP) � Singer Andy Williams' eclectic art collection has brought $46 million at a New York City auction.
The works sold on Wednesday, the first of a two-day sale at Christie's.
The late singer's taste ranged from contemporary, impressionist and modern to Latin American and 20th-century decorative art and design.
He collected over a 60-year period. The works were displayed at his California and Missouri homes, as well as his Moon River Theater in Branson, Mo.
Auction highlights included Willem de Koonings' "Untitled XVII," which fetched $9.7 million and Jean-Michel Basquiat's (zhahn mee-SHEHL' BAH'-skee-ahts) "Furious Man, which realized $5.7 million.
Williams died last year at 84.
The baritone was known for his wholesome, middle-America appeal and easy-listening hits including the theme to the Oscar-winning tearjerker "Love Story."

WHO Urges Greater Global Effort On Safe Injections
Safe Injections
In an effort to improve injection safety across the globe, the World Health Organization began a 3-day meeting with experts to explore strategies aimed at promoting the use of safer needles.
The annual meeting of the Safe Injection Global Network (SIGN), taking place at WHO headquarters in Geneva 23-25 October, brings together UN agencies, donors, experts, countries and industry. It will examine how best to encourage countries and procurement agencies to purchase the safest needles, how to encourage manufacturers to lower the price of such products, and how to boost countries' local manufacturing capacity.
WHO estimates that every year, 6 billion injections are given globally with syringes or needles that are reused without sterilization. This represents 40% of all injections given in developing countries; in some countries, the proportion is as high as 70% of injections.
Since 1999, WHO has advised its Member States to use needles with safety features. However, most countries cannot afford these new technologies. Less sophisticated needles cost 3 US cents, compared with 15 US cents for more advanced, safer devices.
"The new technologies should be available to developing countries, where injections are used more and where the risk of infection transmission is greater," said Dr Howard Zucker, Assistant Director-General for Health Technology and Pharmaceuticals at WHO.
According to WHO figures, unsafe injections and needle stick injuries suffered by health-care workers together cause 33% of new Hepatitis B infections and two million new cases of Hepatitis C in the world each year. In addition, unsafe injections in health-care settings account for an estimated 5% of new HIV cases worldwide.
The use of syringes with features that prevent reuse and needle stick injuries would avert about 1.3 million global deaths per year by preventing infections and the epidemics caused by their spread, WHO estimates.
Actions by WHO
To promote the purchase of the safest injection devices by countries and procurement agencies, WHO will continue to provide up-to-date data and guidance to those creating policy and advocacy tools.
WHO will discuss with manufacturers possible ways to lower the price of safer injection devices, including helping countries to forecast their needs. This should promote price reductions by increasing demand and helping industry plan manufacturing volumes.
To enhance manufacturing capacity in developing countries, WHO plans to facilitate and promote agreements between companies for the exchange of knowledge and technology. The organization would further ease the interaction between local manufacturers and the two umbrella organizations for injection device manufacturers: International Association for Safe Injection Technology (IASIT) and the European Medical Technology Industry Association (EUCOMED). These organizations could help by sharing updated and unprotected information from their members on available technology options.

Bridge to close on Coffee Pot Road
Vail, CO Colorado
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado – Buck Creek Bridge, located within the Eagle/Holy Cross District of the White River National Forest on Forest Service Road 600 (Coffee Pot Road), will be closed three days for emergency repairs from 8 a.m. Monday morning through 6 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
No detour will be available during that time. The bridge itself is located approximately 38 miles up Forest Service Road 600, and approximately one mile before the end of that road.
Just north of Dotsero and I-70, Coffee Pot Road provides access to the forest and the southern portion of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area. Most areas and accesses remain open to vehicular travel up to the bridge crossing, including Heart Lake and Deep Lake, Indian Camp, The Meadows areas and their associated designated trailheads.-
The timber bridge crossing Buck Creek has deteriorated over time. In 2011 it was posted for a maximum load of 3 tons. Temporary emergency measures are now necessary to ensure user safety. A temporary bridge will be installed above the existing bridge, and will remain in place until a replacement can be designed, financed and constructed.

Eagle County bear sightings have doubled from 2019
Are we seeing more bears because there are more bears on the valley floor, or because we're all spending more time at home? It could be a bit of both.

One key teaching of the Prophet Joseph Smith affects your life every day.
What does Joseph Smith have to do with your everyday life?
That might seem like an odd question, but it can lead to some interesting discoveries if you think about it. For instance, do you study the Book of Mormon every day? Do you go to church and partake of the sacrament every week? Do you regularly go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead? Joseph Smith was instrumental in restoring all of those things to the earth during his life.
The list could go on, of course, and you might consider writing down a list like that in order to gain a greater appreciation for the Prophet Joseph Smith. But let's focus on just one way Joseph Smith affects your life every day: your prayers.
In 1845, the year after Joseph Smith was killed, Eliza R. Snow wrote the lyrics of the hymn "O My Father" (Hymns, no. 292), in which she said:
I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
The "key of knowledge" she wrote about is the fulness of the gospel, and the song particularly refers to Joseph Smith's teaching about our relationship to God—that He is literally the Father of our spirits and that we are literally His children.
Joseph Smith taught that God "looks upon the whole of the human family with a fatherly care and paternal regard" and that "if men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 39, 40).
This particular "key of knowledge" unlocks the door to understanding what we are doing when we pray. When we address God as "Father," it is not just a metaphor for a bodiless force that created us but is utterly different from us. It is a real relationship—one that we can understand and that predates our mortal birth. Sensing the reality of this relationship, we regard our prayers differently. They become more intimate and personal, as do the answers we receive.
As Joseph Smith said, "Having a knowledge of God, we begin to know how to approach Him, and how to ask so as to receive an answer" (Teachings: Joseph Smith, 40).
So, what does Joseph Smith have to do with your everyday life?
Well, do you pray to Heavenly Father every day? Do you feel close to Him because you know He is your Father? Do you feel that He answers your prayers in a personal way? Do you sense deeply that He loves you because you are His child?
If so, then it is in part because of this "key of knowledge" brought back to us through Joseph Smith. And that's just one of many reasons to thank your Father in Heaven for what Joseph did as the Prophet of the Restoration.

After giving us brief flashes of Audrey Parker's past lives, this week's episode of Haven took us all the way back to the year 1955, where we get to meet the redheaded Sarah in the flesh. But when Nathan and Duke find themselves trapped in the sock hop era, they have to be careful not to change the timeline—and they have to preserve it by killing Duke's granddad.
Duke is looking through the memorabilia of his good old homicidal dad when he comes across the name Stuart Mosley in his pop's diary. He heads over to Walter's house, where he makes a rather unpleasant discovery: Stuart's Trouble is that he causes people to travel through time when he's panicked. Stuart recognizes Duke and zaps him back to the year 1955. Duke, being a magnet for trouble with a lowercase T as well as a capital letter, quickly witnesses a brawl between soldiers at a local bar and steps in before the bartender is accidentally killed. Once he realizes what year it is, Duke figures out how to get a message to Audrey.
Meanwhile, in 2012 Haven, Nathan and Audrey are walking down the street when Audrey notices that the newspaper has been shut down and replaced by a comic book store. Nathan reminds Audrey that the paper hasn't operated since Dave killed Vince 15 years ago. Audrey naturally realizes that reality has been altered, and back at the police station, she receives a letter from Duke that has been held at the mail offices since 1955. Following the information in the letter, Nathan and Audrey visit Stuart, who panics again upon seeing Nathan and zaps him back to 1955 as well. Nathan quickly finds Duke and tells him that the timeline has been altered. Duke insists, in a sheepish, I-can't-believe-I'm-saying-this way that he followed "the time travel rules" and has kept a low profile. Then he remembers the bartender, who turns out to be Roy Crocker, Duke's grandfather—a man who was killed by Sarah.
Nathan goes off and finds Stuart, who turns out to be a traumatized veteran. When his platoon was in danger, Stuart zapped them a year into the future, and he can't resolve that impossibility. And Stuart's nurse? None other than Sarah herself. Nathan is, of course, totally charmed by this version of Audrey, who talks like the girl Friday of a screwball comedy, and responds to Nathan's bothering of Stuart by hauling him out of the hospital by the ear.
This episode is titled "Sarah," but it could have easily been called, "The Grandfather Non-Paradox." We don't actually learn that much about Sarah because, at this point in Haven's history, Sarah doesn't know much about herself. She's been given the memories of a badass wartime nurse, and she's eager to help people. But while Nathan is canoodling with Sarah and Duke is learning that his grandfather really didn't want to kill Troubled people, everything is going to Hell in present-day Haven. Apparently, the law of concurrent parallel time passage is in effect, because the Haven timeline is changing. Audrey is a wanted fugitive for killing Reverend Driscoll and Nathan is dead—Chief Wuornos, however, is still alive.
It's not clear what the purpose of the alternate timeline is; we don't really learn anything from it, and from everything else that happens in this episode, the alternate timeline shouldn't be an issue at all. The causality of this episode is actually quite neatly circular: Stuart sends Duke and Nathan back in time because he met them in the past. Duke gives Roy the gold doubloon that Duke received from his own father. Roy dies at Sarah's hands precisely because Duke and Nathan go back in time, not despite it. But then again, I suppose Duke and Nathan wouldn't be so intent on preserving the timeline unless Nathan knew the timeline was changing back in the present.
Eventually, a showdown between Roy and Sarah results in Sarah shooting and killing Roy, and when Duke absorbs Roy's blood, we learn something new about the Crockers: they're definitely Troubled. This isn't a huge revelation, but it does dampen the Us vs. Them quality the Crockers and the other Troubled have historically had in Haven. Afterward, Sarah manages to sooth Stuart into a state of mind that lets him send Duke and Nathan back to the present, saving alternate-timeline Audrey from an execution at the hand of Driscoll's men.
As we flash back to 1955 and Sarah, we do learn one more significant fact about the Haven mythos. Sarah reports to her superior, telling him that she wants to stay in Haven—a superior who bears an uncanny resemblance to the fake Agent Howard. It appears Audrey isn't the only immortal kicking around this town.

|On August 19-22, hundreds of amp makers, luthiers, stompbox builders, guitarists, bassists, collectors, tone freaks, and gear fanatics converged on Music City for the third annual Nashville Amp Expo. Organized by Creation Audio Labs, the smooth-running event was held at the Hyatt Place hotel in nearby Brentwood, Tennessee. The Expo took over the entire hotel for three nights and two days of high-decibel glory, and the show's slogan—Blow It Out Your Amp—proved totally apt.
Roaming the hotel hallways, gig-bag schlepping attendees stopped at exhibitors' rooms to audition and test drive inspiring boutique amps, guitars, and pedals. Seminars on amp and guitar maintenance gave players of all stylistic persuasions useful info to take home, and at least 10 concerts covered a wide range of music from fiddle-driven bluegrass to skull-crushing rock. Our photo gallery brings you a taste of the new, beautiful, and sometimes outrageous gear that made this year's Nashville Amp Expo such a success.

Chimpanzee genome project
The Chimpanzee Genome Project is an effort to determine the DNA sequence of the chimpanzee genome. It is expected that by comparing the genomes of humans and other apes, it will be possible to better understand what makes humans distinct from other species from a genetic perspective. It will also aid in the study of diseases that affect (or, conversely, do not affect) various primate species.
Starting the chimpanzee genome project[edit]
Human and chimpanzee chromosomes are very similar. The primary difference is that humans have one fewer pair of chromosomes than do other great apes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and other great apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes. In the human evolutionary lineage, two ancestral ape chromosomes fused at their telomeres, producing human chromosome 2.[3] There are nine other major chromosomal differences between chimpanzees and humans: chromosome segment inversions on human chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 9, 12, 15, 16, 17, and 18. After the completion of the Human genome project, a common chimpanzee genome project was initiated. In December 2003, a preliminary analysis of 7600 genes shared between the two genomes confirmed that certain genes such as the forkhead-box P2 transcription factor, which is involved in speech development, are different in the human lineage. Several genes involved in hearing were also found to have changed during human evolution, suggesting selection involving human language-related behavior. Differences between individual humans and common chimpanzees are estimated to be about 10 times the typical difference between pairs of humans.[4]
Draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee[edit]
Analysis of the genome was published in Nature on September 1, 2005, in an article produced by the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, a group of scientists which is supported in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute, one of the National Institutes of Health. The article marked the completion of the draft genome sequence.[4] A database [5] now exists containing the genetic differences between human and chimpanzee genes, with about thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. Gene duplications account for most of the sequence differences between humans and chimps. Single-base-pair substitutions account for about half as much genetic change as does gene duplication.
Typical human and chimp homologs of proteins differ in only an average of two amino acids. About 30 percent of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein. As mentioned above, gene duplications are a major source of differences between human and chimp genetic material, with about 2.7 percent of the genome now representing differences having been produced by gene duplications or deletions during approximately 6 million years [6] since humans and chimps diverged from their common evolutionary ancestor. The comparable variation within human populations is 0.5 percent.[7]
About 600 genes have been identified that may have been undergoing strong positive selection in the human and chimp lineages; many of these genes are involved in immune system defense against microbial disease (example: granulysin is protective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis [8]) or are targeted receptors of pathogenic microorganisms (example: Glycophorin C and Plasmodium falciparum). By comparing human and chimp genes to the genes of other mammals, it has been found that genes coding for transcription factors, such as forkhead-box P2 (FOXP2), have often evolved faster in the human relative to chimp; relatively small changes in these genes may account for the morphological differences between humans and chimps. A set of 348 transcription factor genes code for proteins with an average of about 50 percent more amino acid changes in the human lineage than in the chimp lineage.
Six human chromosomal regions were found that may have been under particularly strong and coordinated selection during the past 250,000 years. These regions contain at least one marker allele that seems unique to the human lineage while the entire chromosomal region shows lower than normal genetic variation. This pattern suggests that one or a few strongly selected genes in the chromosome region may have been preventing the random accumulation of neutral changes in other nearby genes. One such region on chromosome 7 contains the FOXP2 gene (mentioned above) and this region also includes the Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which is important for ion transport in tissues such as the salt-secreting epithelium of sweat glands. Human mutations in the CFTR gene might be selected for as a way to survive cholera.[9]
Another such region on chromosome 4 may contain elements regulating the expression of a nearby protocadherin gene that may be important for brain development and function. Although changes in expression of genes that are expressed in the brain tend to be less than for other organs (such as liver) on average, gene expression changes in the brain have been more dramatic in the human lineage than in the chimp lineage.[10] This is consistent with the dramatic divergence of the unique pattern of human brain development seen in the human lineage compared to the ancestral great ape pattern. The protocadherin-beta gene cluster on chromosome 5 also shows evidence of possible positive selection.[11]
Results from the human and chimp genome analyses should help in understanding some human diseases. Humans appear to have lost a functional Caspase 12 gene, which in other primates codes for an enzyme that may protect against Alzheimer's disease.
Genes of the chromosome 2 fusion site[edit]
The results of the chimpanzee genome project suggest that when ancestral chromosomes 2A and 2B fused to produce human chromosome 2, no genes were lost from the fused ends of 2A and 2B. At the site of fusion, there are approximately 150,000 base pairs of sequence not found in chimpanzee chromosomes 2A and 2B. Additional linked copies of the PGML/FOXD/CBWD genes exist elsewhere in the human genome, particularly near the p end of chromosome 9. This suggests that a copy of these genes may have been added to the end of the ancestral 2A or 2B prior to the fusion event. It remains to be determined if these inserted genes confer a selective advantage.
- PGML. The phosphoglucomutase-like gene of human chromosome 2. This gene is incomplete and may not produce a functional transcript.[12]
- FOXD. The forkhead box D4-like gene is an example of an intronless gene. The function of this gene is not known, but it may code for a transcription control protein.
- CBWD. Cobalamin synthetase is a bacterial enzyme that makes vitamin B12. In the distant past, a common ancestor to mice and apes incorporated a copy of a cobalamin synthetase gene (see: Horizontal gene transfer). Humans are unusual in that they have several copies of cobalamin synthetase-like genes, including the one on chromosome 2. It remains to be determined what the function of these human cobalamin synthetase-like genes is. If these genes are involved in vitamin B12 metabolism, this could be relevant to human evolution. A major change in human development is greater post-natal brain growth than is observed in other apes. Vitamin B12 is important for brain development, and vitamin B12 deficiency during brain development results in severe neurological defects in human children.
- CXYorf1-like protein. Several transcripts of unknown function corresponding to this region have been isolated. This region is also present in the closely related chromosome 9p terminal region that contains copies of the PGML/FOXD/CBWD genes.
- Many ribosomal protein L23a pseudogenes are scattered through the human genome.
