Toronto, Ont., November 30, 2009 ― Providing free medications to people after heart attack could add years to patients' lives at a relatively low cost for provincial governments, according to a new study by researchers at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
"Many patients are not benefiting from effective prescribed medications because they simply don't fill their prescriptions," says Dr. Irfan Dhalla, the study's lead author and a physician at St. Michael's Hospital. "There is growing evidence that having to pay for medications out of pocket is a major reason."
Public coverage of pharmaceuticals in Canada is neither universal nor uniform because the Canada Health Act covers only physician and hospital services. According to data published in 2005, 11 per cent of Canadians had only catastrophic public coverage, and 4 per cent had no coverage at all.
The goal of the study was to demonstrate to policymakers what would happen if governments fully covered the costs of five heart attack medications--a beta blocker, low-dose aspirin, an ACE inhibitor, a statin, and a relatively new drug called clopidogrel--which are routinely prescribed for patients who have survived a heart attack.
The use of these effective and relatively inexpensive drugs has led to a dramatic decline in deaths from cardiovascular disease in recent years. Between 1980 and 2000, mortality from cardiovascular disease in Canada decreased by approximately 50%.
The researchers compared the benefits and the costs of two options:
Implementing the full-coverage strategy for the five medications would result in average survival of 7.02 quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) after heart attack at an average cost of $20,423 per patient, the study found.
The status quo strategy resulted in an average survival of 6.13 QALYs at an average cost of $17,173 per patient.
(In health care research, the term "QALY" is used to describe survival time based not just on quantity of years but also on quality of life. A year in perfect health is considered equal to 1.0 QALY. The value of a year in ill health would be lower--for example, a year spent in hospital might have a value equal to 0.5 QALY.)
"Full coverage would save lives at very low cost and would be cost-effective compared to the status quo," says Dr. Dhalla. "Our model suggests that providing free medications to people after heart attack would result in one more year of life for each additional $3,663 spent by government. We used very conservative assumptions, and it is quite possible that a full coverage strategy would even be cost-saving for governments over the long-term."
The researchers say any added cost would be significantly below current thresholds used to decide whether new drugs and medical devices should be eligible for public funding.
Although the study looked at heart attack because that is where the evidence is strongest, there are many diseases where cheap, effective medications are available.
"Policy makers may wish to consider providing medications free of charge to all patients with chronic illnesses where specific drug treatments are known to be both highly cost-effective and associated with poor adherence--for example, preventing kidney and cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes," Dr. Dhalla says. "Providing medications free of charge where they are likely to have the most value is one way policy makers can allocate limited public resources more efficiently."

First Trust ETF Takes Infrastructure Global
The sector weightings show the extent to which infrastructure can be a multifaceted theme. FLM is 94% industrial stocks. For comparison, SPDR FTSE/Macquarie Global 100 ETF (GII) is 89% utilities and PXR, profiled last week, is 49% materials. Carrying the potential sector diversification out a little further, if there were a pure-play ETF of publicly traded stock and futures exchanges, it could be considered a financial infrastructure fund.
As if the almost vertical decline in the index this year weren't clear enough, the back-test statistics belie how volatile FLM could be. It has had a beta of 1.61 vs. 1.00 for the Russell 3000 Index and a standard deviation of 23.71 vs. 11.72 for that same index. Obviously, those stats give an idea at to why the outperformance was so great during the bull market and why the ensuing decline was almost as swift.
| FLM: A Back Test
|Click here for larger image.
The fund's future results hinge on two different things. First is the clear and obvious need to spend money on infrastructure. Even if the U.S.' economic problems are secular, for most of the world the current slowdown is likely to be cyclical, and so the money will be spent sooner or later.The other side of the coin for FLM is its country-weighting. Most of the fund allocates to the U.S., Japan and Western Europe; that's roughly 75% of the fund. The visibility for these regions over the next five years is murky at best. So will companies like Obayashi from Japan or Bouygues (EN) from France be able to swim upstream if those countries are struggling economically and the stock markets continue to struggle? So far, actually, they have been able to hold in reasonably well, but down 10% in a down-40% world could be difficult to maintain.

Officials Say the Actual IRS Will Never Make First Contact by Phone
Con artists posing as Internal Revenue Service agents are back in the news. Despite previous warnings from government officials, some taxpayers still haven't gotten the message.
"There are clear warning signs about these scams, which continue at high levels throughout the nation," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said recently. "Taxpayers should remember their first contact with the IRS will not be a call from out of the blue, but through official correspondence sent through the mail. A big red flag for these scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say they are from the IRS and urging immediate payment."
"This is not how we operate," he said. "People should hang up immediately" and contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (www.tigta. gov) or the IRS. On the TIGTA site, click on "IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting."
Government officials have received about 90,000 complaints through a telephone hotline since late 2013, says a TIGTA spokesman. About 1,100 victims have lost an estimated $5 million from these scams.
Scamsters may try to claim that you owe money or are entitled to a big refund, officials say. Callers might use phony names and IRS badge numbers. They might even know the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Real IRS representatives "never" ask for credit-card, debit-card or prepaid card information over the phone, the IRS said. They also never insist that you use a specific payment method. And they never demand immediate payment over the phone, the IRS says.
If you get a suspicious call and think you owe taxes, hang up and call the IRS (800-829- 1040). If you have no reason to think you owe anything, call TIGTA (800-366-4484), and tell the Federal Trade Commission using its "FTC Complaint Assistant" (ftc.gov). Include the words "IRS Telephone Scam."

A new Alabama income tax credit is available for Alabama individuals and businesses that contribute cash to the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education (ADPE) for qualifying educational expenses directly associated with the state's Career‐Technical Dual Enrollment Program. The tax credit was created by House Bill 384 (Act No. 2014‐147, the "Act"), which was sponsored by Representatives Buttram, Baker, Collins, and Hubbard. The Bill was signed into law by Governor Robert Bentley on March 11, 2014, and will go into effect for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2015.
We have had a lot of questions about the particulars about implementing and complying with the law, so we created a handy guide (linked below).
JMF Memo Explaining the Alabama Dual Enrollment Tax Credit
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of our CPAs for further explanation.
Beginning at 12:01 a.m. (CST) on Friday August 1, 2014, and ending at twelve midnight on Sunday August 3, 2014, Alabama will hold its 8th annual sales tax holiday giving shoppers in Tuscaloosa County the opportunity to purchase certain school supplies, computers and clothing free of state and local sales tax. Not all cities participate but Tuscaloosa, Northport, Selma, Birmingham do. Here the list of all participating communities.
Here's the link to ADOR's website for the Sales Tax Holiday.
We get this question a lot at this time of the year. If your tax return is on extension and you are now preparing the return, can you still make an IRA contribution?
Maybe, but generally the short answer is No. The deadline for making most IRA or Roth IRA contributions is April 15th for the prior year contribution. Extending the return doesn't change that.
Generally, there is no extension of time to make the IRA contribution, but as with almost every IRA rule there are exceptions.
If you are in a federally declared disaster areas may qualify for an extension in order to complete transactions for their retirement accounts, including making contributions. Check out this list to see if you qualify.
Military personnel in combat zones may qualify for extra time to make IRA contributions. Helpful additional info from the IRS
Here's the most common exception: SEP IRAs. The due date for establishing and making a SEP IRA contribution is the due date of the business tax return, including extensions. So, any business owner who is having the tax return prepared now, in July, could still establish a SEP plan and make a SEP contribution for last year. Info here & SEP setup forms here
If you have any questions or comments about the information included here, please contact one of our retirement plan specialists (Anita Hayes, Mindy Norton or Sonya Waddell).
Last week, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that inherited IRAs are not protected in bankruptcy under federal law.
The Court's decision resolved the bankruptcy question about inherited IRAs in the federal courts, but it does not resolve all questions because state laws also control the bankruptcy protection. Each state's law is different, here is a site if you want common state bankruptcy exemptions, but this is an overview and isn't intended to take the place of legal counsel.
This decision could have far reaching ramifications and depending on the circumstances, IRA owners may need to think before deciding which heirs should be IRA beneficiaries upon their death.
The Court's decision presumably will not affect spousal beneficiaries, though the decision doesn't state. There are several special rules for spousal beneficiaries in the tax code, including the ability for a surviving spouse to rollover the IRA into their own.
Here's a summary behind the decision:
The decision was that an Inherited IRA (Roth IRA) is NOT a retirement plan based largely on the following items:
Please contact your JMF accountant or retirement specialist for more information.
Our own Dan Johnson, a JMF supervisor, was one of the speakers at the Alabama Preservation 2014 Conference in Florence Alabama on April 24th. He had the peculiar task of explaining how to file the new Alabama Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit on the AL tax forms that do not yet exist. This presentation is a creative interpretation of how the AL tax filings for these credits might look, given his experience with the Federal Historic Tax Credit Part 3 certifications of the Qualified Rehabilitation Expenditures and his experience with the filing of the credit on the federal tax return.

Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor expressed his disappointment with Luis Suarez after he grabbed the headlines on Sunday.
Loading Market ...
Football Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
The Liverpool striker appeared to bite the arm of Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic during the Sky Live clash at Anfield, before going on to score a 97th minute equaliser.
"It was not good to see to say the least. It was unacceptable," he told Sky Sports News.
"His reputation for controversy continues to increase when he can be such a good player, one of the world's best, so it is a real dilemma now.
"It's uncalled for, it's not good, it's depressing, it's such a shame for a player who's a really good footballer but this is not the first time that such things have happened.
"I know it's a really difficult one for Liverpool and the FA are going to have to deal with it.
"There's physical contact, emotions run high but no matter what players these days have to be considered as role models for youngsters."
Suarez is one of six nominees for the PFA Player of the Year award - which will be announced next Sunday - but Taylor is concerned that the 26-year-old keeps making headlines for the wrong reasons.
He added: "It was such a good game, great comeback, but this will take all the headlines.
"It doesn't make it better when things have happened before and they're repeated again.
"You begin to wonder 'is he going to learn his lesson?' Because when his football shines through he's so highly regarded so it's just a big shame."
Should Liverpool now sell Luis Suarez in the summer?

More than 1,000 vehicles filled with protesters have fanned out across Thailand's capital to enlist residents for their anti-government campaign.
They plan to follow up the march on Saturday with a "blood painting", the latest shock tactic by demonstrators in their weeklong campaign to oust Abhisit Vejjajiva, the country's prime minister.
The protesters plan to drive 70km through Bangkok, setting off from the centre of the city and driving through the central business district, Chinatown and outlying residential areas.
Public appeal
City and police officials urged residents to use public transport and either stay at home or at their workplaces until the demonstration ends.
The protesters want Abhisit, who they accuse of taking power through illegitimate means, to dissolve parliament and call fresh elections - a demand he has repeatedly rejected.
In an attempt to dramatise their demands, thousands of so-called red shirt demonstrators lined up on Tuesday to donate blood to their cause.
Leaders claimed they collected 300,000 cubic cm of blood that were transferred into dozens of large plastic jugs.
Most of the blood was splattered at Abhisit's office, at the headquarters of his ruling party and at his private residence.
Protest leaders say they have 15 jugs of blood left and plan to use it to create a massive work of art.
Jatuporn Prompan, a protest leader, said: "Artists and red shirts will be invited to partake in a blood painting."
They plan to unfurl a giant white cloth on which supporters will be invited to paint pictures, scrawl poems and express political statements.
"The theme of this artwork will be the history of the people's fight for democracy," Jatuporn said.
'Class war'
The red shirts describe their struggle as one between "phrai", the common people, and "amataya", upper-class bureaucrats and other members of the elite.
Supporters of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, ousted in bloodless coup in 2006 Formally known as the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) Formed in 2008 as a counter to the anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy, also known as the Yellow Shirts Members are mainly rural workers from outside Bangkok, especially in the rural north and northeast, but also has support from students and other political activists Group accuses the military and Thai elite of undermining democracy
The group largely consists of supporters of Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister, who was ousted by a 2006 military coup for alleged corruption, and pro-democracy activists who opposed the army takeover.
Thaksin lives in self-imposed exile, mostly in Dubai, and has delivered several video-link addresses to the red shirts.
The red shirts brought him two landslide election wins and remain loyal because of his populist policies.
"Fellow Bangkokians, send any kind of signals, wave a red flag, give some water, so that our red shirts can feel at ease," Thaksin urged in a video link-up on Friday.
"I apologise for the traffic congestion lately and there will be more traffic jams when we march.
"I apologise. I owe you one.
"When I return, [I promise] 10 lines of electric trains from Bangkok to the surrounding provinces."

So THAT'S What's Inside a Lego Minifig

Now I'm feeling very, very guilty about all the minifig heads I've popped off, all the limbs I've torn asunder, over these many years.
- http://www.theleenmachine.blogspot.com KML
I just showed this to my Lego-obsessed five-year-old, who laughed and laughed and laughed and then asked why they weren't showing the brain, too. I have a feeling there are going to be some gratuitously disassembled Lego figures in my future.
- http://www.virtue-quest.com/ Robert King
Hm… no muscles. That explains why I have to do all the work of moving them around, but also why they're able to hold a pose so long without complaining. I've always wondered about that.
@KML: clearly, the brain is not shown because it's INSIDE the skull. You'll just have to cut through another layer of plastic.
- victor
I sat through 80% of Lego: The Adventures of Clutch Powers and I can tell you that brains never entered into it even once.
- http://www.virtue-quest.com/ Robert King
Even non-rational creatures (e.g., lizards, birds, politicians) have brains, which serve the function of cooling the blood, as Aristotle taught us. I did not mean to imply that Legos have any intellect or rationality. I apologize for my lack of clarity.

FROM HELPING HANDS -- A representative from St. David's Episcopal Church will be at Helping Hands Humane Society for the annual Blessing of the Animals.
It'll be held this Friday, September 30th at 3:00pm.
Each animal in residence at HHHS will receive a blessing. On any one day, HHHS may have more than 300 animals in its residence with between 20 and 50 admitted per day. The public is invited to attend.
Animal shelters, such as HHHS, offer a variety of services to assist animals. Among many things, they provide a sanctuary for lost pets, protection from abuse, and health and behavior assessments. One of the most rewarding aspects of an animal shelter is finding animals new homes. Animal shelters also provide an educational outlet and guidance to assist the public with animal-related issues and concerns, from dealing with training issues to behavior issues.
How can you help HHHS? There are many ways:
* Offer a donation of needed supplies
* Spread the word about the importance of spaying and neutering
* Volunteer your time
* Adopt your next pet from among the many animals being cared for at Helping Hands.
Thank you!

Netflix Plans to Offer Documentaries, Comedy Specials
"Netflix has become a big destination for fans of these much loved and often under-distributed genres," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells said.
While Netflix doesn't release viewing numbers for any of its original content, it's clear the company is pleased with the success of its shows thus far. Additionally, the network just picked up 14 Emmy nominations for Arrested Development, House of Cards and Hemlock Grove. Coming up, Netflix will release Mako Mermaids, a show aimed at teen audiences, Ricky Gervais' Derek, season two of Lilyhammer and Turbo F.A.S.T.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks should plunk Puig
Game time is coming soon.
Diamondbacks and Dodgers.
It's time for the Dodgers to pay their debt. Plunk Puig!
I'm not advocating violence. There's no way any pitcher should ever go after someone's head. In baseball, not plunking says, "walk over me." Everyone knows it's coming. Therefore, let's finish it now.
Waiting until the regular season just risks lengthier suspensions. Plunking Puig in Australia would make it more difficult to replace those suspended because you're not traveling with your whole minor league system behind you.
Plunking Puig today at Salt River Field declares the Diamondbacks will not back down. Waiting around is like sneaking behind someone's back. Be a man. Take the punishment. Move on. First, however, the Dodgers must pay their debt.
Play ball!

The term Antidicomarianites (Greek ἀντιδικοµαριανῖται, literally "opponents of Mary", from ἀντίδικ-ος adversary + Μαρία Mary)[1] was a term used by defenders of the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary during the 3rd-5th centuries. The term was applied to Christians who believed that the brothers and sisters of Jesus mentioned in the New Testament were not children of Joseph by an earlier marriage, as had become orthodoxy by the 3rd Century, but the younger children of Joseph and Mary after the birth of Jesus. There is no evidence that these Christians considered themselves to be "against Mary" in any sense, except of her being the "Queen of Heaven", which Roman Catholics and the Orthodox Christians used as a title for her, a reflection of the biblical image in Revelation 12.
Writings against these "Antidicomarianite" Christians are found in various church writings of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th centuries. The earliest reference to this sect appears in Tertullian, and the doctrines taught by them are expressly mentioned by Origen (Homilia in Lucam, III, 940). The opinion is grounded in mentions of Jesus' brothers and sisters in the New Testament (Matthew 13:56 and Mark 6:3 etc.).
Certain Arians, Eudoxius and Eunomius, were great supporters of the teaching. The sect attained its greatest development in Arabia towards the end of the fourth century. The name Antidicomarianites was specifically applied to it by St. Epiphanius, who wrote against them in an interesting letter giving the history of the doctrine and claiming proofs of its falsity (St. Epiphanius, Contra Hæres., lxxviii, 1033 sqq.).
The Ebionites were the first who maintained that Jesus was the son of Joseph and Mary, not of God. This doctrine was controversial even to the sect's own adherents, and it was later modified so as to teach that; although Jesus was born of Mary through the Holy Ghost, afterwards Joseph and Mary lived in wedlock and had many other children. The sect denied the formula "ever-Virgin Mary" used in the Greek and Roman Liturgies.
Although Luther defended the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary, today some Protestants share the conviction of Lutheran Richard C. H. Lenski, as per the "Antidocomarianites," that Mary and Joseph had children of their own after the birth of Jesus.[2]

Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - Adam Henrique scored in the fourth round of the shootout to give the New Jersey Devils a 5-4 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Henrique skated in on net and made a quick move to the backhand to lift the puck past Alex Auld. Johan Hedberg then sealed the win when he squeezed the pads together on a low shot from David Rundblad.
Zach Parise had a goal and an assist while Dainius Zubrus, Ilya Kovalchuk and Mattias Tedenby all scored for the Devils, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win their second straight game.
Martin Brodeur started in net, but was pulled after 20 minutes as he gave up two goals on nine shots. Hedberg stopped 18-of-20 shots the rest of the way for the win.
"We scored three great goals to get us back in the game," said Hedberg. "It's a good feeling to come back and win this game the way we did."
Daniel Alfredsson had a goal and an assist and Milan Michalek, Jesse Winchester and Nick Foligno each had a goal for the Senators, who have lost four of five. Auld stopped 27 shots in the loss.
"They pressure so well and we just weren't as sharp as we needed to be," said Foligno. "We're going to regroup and come back out here on Saturday. We know we're a better team than the result of tonight's game."
Michalek scored 6:31 into the game for his league-leading 18th goal of the year when he snapped home a rebound chance from Jason Spezza, who got the puck along the right boards off a weak wraparound from Brodeur.
Foligno made it 2-0 with 2:15 left in the opening frame as he backhanded in a rebound in front for his 10th of the season.
The Senators took a 3-0 lead in the second on the power play when Alfredsson's one-timer from the top of the left circle made its way past Hedberg 9:41 in.
New Jersey, though, got one back while shorthanded as Parise's one-timer from the right circle off a feed from Henrique made it a 3-1 game with 5:01 to play in the second.
The Devils scored another shorthanded goal when Zubrus was fed for a breakaway and beat Auld with a heavy wrister 2:59 into the third.
Tedenby scored at the 9:08 mark while Kovalchuk lit the lamp 37 seconds later to give the Devils a 4-3 lead.
With New Jersey on a 4-on-3 power play, Ottawa pulled Auld and was able to tie the game as Alfredsson blasted a shot on net from the left point and Winchester was able to jam home the rebound with five seconds left.

Reds getting production from all over
May, 24, 2012
By Jack Moore | Special to ESPN.com
The Reds received a game-changing grand slam in the sixth inning to take a 5-2 lead against the Braves on Thursday night, leading to their sixth consecutive victory and their first sweep of the Braves since 1980. It wasn't superstar Joey Votto who provided the knockout punch, nor was it mainstays Brandon Phillips or Jay Bruce. The home run came off the bat of one of the Reds' many unheralded young players: 23-year-old rookie catcher Devin Mesoraco.
The blast also marked Cincinnati's 10th home run of the series, leading to 14 of its 16 runs in the series. Winning with home runs is nothing new for this Reds squad, not at Great American Ball Park and certainly not in the Joey Votto era. But Votto didn't hit a single homer in the series. Neither did Bruce. Phillips hit two. Instead of the three stalwarts on this Reds squad, it was the supporting cast leading the way: Mesoraco (1), Drew Stubbs (3), Zack Cozart (2), Todd Frazier (1) and Mike Leake (1).
Leake's homer backed up a quality start on Monday, and the other home runs backed up quality starts from Mat Latos (Tuesday), Bronson Arroyo (Wednesday) and Homer Bailey (Thursday). The Reds saw scoreless outings from five different relievers and saves converted by three. To accomplish this in any series is excellent; to do so against the second-highest-scoring team in the league in one of the best hitters' parks in all of baseball is another.
[+] Enlarge
AP Photo/Al BehrmanDevin Mesoraco's grand slam in the sixth inning on Thursday put the Reds ahead for good.
Depth and pitching have set this year's Reds squad apart from last year's version, a preseason favorite for the National League Central crown that was eventually lapped by both the Brewers and Cardinals. The 2011 season saw a 156 OPS+ from Votto and 119 OPS+ marks from both Phillips and Bruce. No other full-time starters came close; only part-time players Chris Heisey (113), Ramon Hernandez (113) and Miguel Cairo (101) even mustered an above average mark.
This season has seen the likes of Paul Janish, Edgar Renteria and Jonny Gomes excised in favor of Cozart (.727 OPS) and Frazier (.887). It has seen Stubbs come to life after three horrible series to open the year -- he owns a .266/.324/.430 line since April 17 to go with his typical fantastic defense. It's seen Ryan Hanigan pick up his game as well, with a .794 OPS in 27 games as the starting catcher.
Johnny Cueto owns a phenomenal 2.22 ERA over 33 starts dating back to May 2011, but it was the other four Cincinnati starters who held down the Braves this week. Latos started out cold, but has a 2.35 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 23 innings in May. Arroyo has a 121 ERA+ after allowing a near-record 46 home runs last season, owning an absurd 44-to-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his first 58.2 innings. Bailey and Leake have had their rough spots, but they fit well in the back of the Reds' rotation -- a tough job with half of their starts coming in the bandbox in Cincinnati.
The bullpen has established itself as one of the league's best. Regardless of what one thinks Aroldis Chapman's role should be, it is undeniable that he is the league's best reliever. In the four-game sweep of the Braves, he pitched two more scoreless innings. Chapman fronts a bullpen full of talented pitchers: Jose Arredondo, Logan Ondrusek and Alfredo Simon all own ERA+ marks of 137 or higher. Sean Marshall shouldn't be counted out either despite a rough start -- he was one of the best relievers in baseball over the past two seasons.
The Reds currently sit atop the NL Central, with a half-game lead over the Cardinals. As usual, Votto, Phillips, Cueto and Bruce lead the way. But if the Reds maintain their current success and carry it through to a playoff run, it will be because this year they didn't have to do it all themselves.

I'm a second year nursing student, and am currently in my med surg rotation at clinicals. The hospital I'm in now is much more exciting and learning oriented than the previous hospital I had been in. That being said, I'm seeing a... Read More
- 0Feb 11, '13 by grace_lorraine87that B was just being rude and likes to put people down. i'm sorry she said that. my RN friend told me to always have a good breakfast with protein and iron (sprouted bread, egg whites, oatmeal, some kind of green and WATER!). the lack of sleep will definitely do that to you too. i had nurses telling me they still put vapor rub under their noses to avoid nausea or carry a cotton ball with lavender to smell to avoid feeling faint. i'm sorry that happened, but don't let it discourage you.
- 0Feb 11, '13 by wildcatchristieTwo weeks ago, I almost fainted. I volunteer in the ER. I got to watch a doc insert a central catheter and arterial line. We were all wearing the isolation gowns. I was asked to hold pressure on the artery which he had poked unsuccessfully. After about 45 minutes of being in the room and holding pressure for 10 minutes, I started to feel the heat and almost went down. The RN caught me as I asked to get so e cold water. She was very supportive and didn't degrade me but she shared her experience of fainting in the ER. The doc asked me before if I was doing okay after the blood started spurting. Funny thing is I said I am fine with blood but squish a bug in front of me and I will get sick. I say it was the heat in the room and gown.
- 0Feb 11, '13 by hodgieRNRemember that nurses eat their young. That nurse probably had someone make witty, smart !@# comments to her when she was younger and she couldn't wait to ridicule someone when it was her time. As you've read, everyone has had a couple of embarrassing experiences. There's a lot of ego in the hospital. Don't worry about.
- 0Feb 11, '13 by TristensMommy07I am in level 3 and during my L&D rotation I got light headed and clammy watching an epidural being started. But I can do wound care easily without having an issues. Funny how something we don't think will bother us is the one thing that does. Just ready for December to be here so I can be done with nursing school.
- 1Feb 12, '13 by aachavezOk, so I said a couple days ago (srsly... like, 2 days ago on this thread) that I'd never had a 'faint' moment, but I had one today.... yikes. I take metformin (for PCOS, not diabetic) but wasnt able to eat breakfast. Anyhow, standing in a patient room, passing out meds (nothing icky or gross or anything!!!) and I about hit the floor with a nurse, another student, and 2 patients in the room. Did a finger stick, they sat me down and made me have some OJ and a granola bar.... not a big deal, but I was pretty embarrased... AND THEN.... about half an hour later I tripped over another patient's O2 hose, about did a face plant while dang near pulling this poor guy outta bed. I was ready to go home for the day after that.... ha!
- 1Feb 12, '13 by fm1089Oh no!!! Haha I jinxed you!! It can be so embarrassing to fall/trip/faint especially in front of patients. My clinical instructor put me back on the step down unit tomorrow to help me get over my squeamishness, so wish me luck!! Lol I'll need it, I'm scared it will happen again. I definitely don't want to be known as "the girl who passes out". But I am kind of excited to see how it goes tomorrow. Fingers crossed
- 2Feb 13, '13 by fm1089Within the first 5 minutes of being at clinicals today I had to watch the same procedure that made me almost pass out the first time. I MADE IT!! I was so excited. I still got a little hot and sweaty but it was before the nurse even removed the dressing so I think I was just panicking that I would pass out again. I ended up being absolutely fine. My confidence is back!! Thank all of you guys so much for sharing your stories. I kept them all in the back of my mind and used them for encouragement. Couldn't have done it alone
- 1Feb 13, '13 by mustlovepoodlesWhen I was a very young nurse(about 21) I was doing evening care on a sweet LOL when a small mouse ran over my foot. I screamed and next thing I knew I was kneeling ON THE BED at my patient's feet with my white dress uniform up around my hips! I don't know who was more surprised, me or her. I extricated myself from her covers and tried to regain some dignity, but really? And I was wearing hot pink underwear with bunnies on them *oy~* After a few moments of silence, this sweet lady burst out laughing and said, "You just made my day." Always glad to oblige...
- 0Feb 15, '13 by ElenaTxHa, before I started nursing school I was an intern in a gynecologic clinic. I observed an endometrial ablation. First I felt okay, but after a couple minutes I got lightheaded and sweaty. I almost passed out and just made it out of the room in time. I had to sit down and I felt so bad. I think it was the sounds the instruments made that got me. Everybody was super nice and made me feel better. Later in my career I started working in a same day surgery clinic and we had procedures like that on a daily basis. It wasn't a problem at all.
Don't feel bad. It can really happen to all of us.
- 0Feb 15, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from fm1089We have ALL had a fainting episode somewhere in our career. I was a brand new student and I was watching a cast removal in the ED when the cast came off because the guy was inserting stuff to scratch his leg there was an open sore....and in that sore were maggots!!!!!!!!Within the first 5 minutes of being at clinicals today I had to watch the same procedure that made me almost pass out the first time. I MADE IT!! I was so excited. I still got a little hot and sweaty but it was before the nurse even removed the dressing so I think I was just panicking that I would pass out again. I ended up being absolutely fine. My confidence is back!! Thank all of you guys so much for sharing your stories. I kept them all in the back of my mind and used them for encouragement. Couldn't have done it alone
As I struggled to maintain consciousness the MD talked about leaving them for they only eat dead tissue........BAM!!!!!!!!! out cold right to the floor. I knocked over an exam table with the saw and other "tools" in full view of a full emergency department.
That was 34 years ago.
Big thing EAT breakfast. Second BREATHE! Don't hold your breath. Spray one shoulder with a little perfume or a citrus fragrance and when you fell woozy smell your shoulder.....it helps it really does!
Good Luck! You'll be fine!!!!

FBI Joins July 4th Boat Probe As First of 3 Children Buried
The FBI sent a high-tech, Evidence Response Team to Oyster Bay, Long Island Monday to assist the Nassau County Police Department with the investigation into the July 4th boating tragedy that left three children dead.
"Divers are on that site taking video," said Nassau Chief of Department, Steve Skrynecki. "The FBI is very well equipped to survey that site," he added, referring to the location in Cold Spring Harbor, about two miles off shore, where the yacht sank in 60 feet of water. "We're not going to comment now on the direction of the investigation, in terms of any criminality."
The 34 foot, Silverton yacht--with 27 people on board--overturned suddenly after a fireworks display last Wednesday, leaving the three children trapped inside the cabin....and 24 other people pleading for their lives in the dark waters. They were quickly picked up by other boaters.
One of the children, 12 year old David Aureliano, was buried Monday, after a funeral service at United Methodist Church in Northport. His uncle, Sal Aureliano--who was operating the yacht last Wednesday--somberly served as one of the pallbearers. A number of mourners sobbed, as they followed the boy's casket into the church.
11 year old Harley Treanor, who was David's cousin, and 8 year old Victoria Gaines, a family friend, will be buried Tuesday.
The FBI sent about 20 Technical Dive experts from Quantico, Virginia to survey the sunken yacht, which will likely be raised Tuesday. The process will involve inflating air bags, to bring the vessel to the surface of the water...and back to shore.
When a reporter asked if alcohol was involved in the July 4th tragedy, the Chief of Department refused to comment. But it's fairly clear investigators will pay close attention to what was left behind in the doomed vessel. So far, the yacht's owner and the operator have been cooperating with police.
Since the tragedy, local boaters have been flicking to the Oyster Bay Marine Supply store to stock up on life vests and flares. Business is up "about 30 percent," according to store clerk, Justin Imburgia.
One part of the investigation will focus in whether the boat's operator had a life vest on board, for each if the 27 people who was on the yacht.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

does lack of physical attraction affects relationship?
Find a Conversation

if we are good in nature from all aspects but due to lack of physcial attraction affects the relationship or not
|Sat, 04-27-2013 - 5:02pm
I may not be an expert per se...but I speak from personal experience, from what life has taught me and from what the true experts and statistics say. Stats show that tradionally arranged unions are just as successful, if not more so than relationships we pursue or foster ouselves....probably based on the notion that WE are too close to the forest to see the trees. We, as humans have certain preconceived notions about ourselves and others and probably preformulated ideas and ideals about what we want in a mate or partner. However, what we want may not always be what we NEED, and others may be more capable of seeing what we need to make us happy based on reality than our own expectations. In addition, someone once brought to my attention that love is not something we feel but something we do. Sexual attraction is something we feel, lust is something we feel, but love is something we consciously decide to do, and if the person we pair with meets most or many of our life values we can learn or committ to loving them even if they do not necessarily possess (all) the physical attributes we think we want or like. I know that I've dated men who were HOT but not much in the personality department and once the initial haze of (sexual) tension and attraction was gone or realized to the fullest and all that was left was the person inside, that person was not quite so attractive. Also, looks fade with time and there's no guarantee that the person YOU are super attracted to will remain attracted to YOU in the same way over time. In addtion life takes it's toll with age, illness, stress, etc. However, if you are friends who truly like and respect each other, the love can and will come if you open your mind and heart to it and if you think outside the box or bedroom. It's amazing at what we have convinced ourselves is necessary in a mate....it's really not someone we want to undress, but someone we'd be equally content in spending time with when our clothes are on....but, that's my experience and my two cents.
|Thu, 04-25-2013 - 1:45pm
It depends upon the expectations and the expressed intent of the two in the relationship. If one or both are biding their time because they think the relationship or the other person has the potential to be what they want despite being told what to expect up front, then there will be problems in this set up.
|Thu, 04-25-2013 - 12:56pm
All I can do is tell you what I have learned from my personal experiences. My former boyfriend was a decent looking man. We had a lot in common and he was *close* to being perfect for me. We were together for a few years. I always felt something was missing. The chemistry was missing. The feeling was not mutual, only I felt it. It felt awkward when we kissed. I didn't like it...to make a long story short. Since he was *close* to being perfect for me I talked myself into forming a relationship with him. I figured my feelings would change, maybe if he lost weight. I thought maybe he's just a bad kisser. I didn't feel like this consistently through the relationship, but there were red flags. Anyway, after a few years with him I ended up meeting another man unexpectedly. This man was married, so not much happened, but I was very attracted to him and he was attracted to me. The chemistry was there and it was so obvious. It was my first time experiencing that. It felt great (too good to be true). So that was an A HA moment for me. I thought to myself, "This is what I should be feeling." I never felt that way with my boyfriend, not even in the beginning. There was some attraction there, but not what it should have been. So anyway, I break up with my boyfriend. Months later I meet another man. This man was tall, which I like, but he has poor posture (due to Scoliosis I guess), is VERY overweight, has a hairy back, and smokes (always said I would never date a smoker). I got to know him and to me...he is the sexiest man I know. I am SO attracted to him. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
So I think physical attraction is important...whether they are sterotypically attractive or not does not matter. YOU have to be attracted to them, inside and out.
|Thu, 04-25-2013 - 11:08am
I would say that it does--I think it would be hard to move beyond friendship if you aren't attracted to the other person but still like him or her, but I've also had relationships in the past where the person was not objectively attractive, yet maybe because I really cared about him, he became more attractive to me?

Not long ago the advertising business was characterized by a landscape of fiefdoms populated by silos. It was a place where marketing disciplines such as: public relations and promotion, direct marketing and strategic planning, creative ideation and media, were each housed in separate companies and, if not, were certainly grouped in discrete divisions within an agency. Each discipline was isolated from the other; focused on perfecting its own response to a client's business challenge and motivated by garnering a larger share of a client's budget.
Today, compelled by shrinking revenues/margins, pushed by consumer-empowering technologies and demanded by impatient CMO's, those fiefdoms have morphed into sandboxes and the silos have given way to open floor plans where interdisciplinary teamwork is the culture and a fully integrated strategic plan is the common goal.
At Laughlin Constable, we consider ourselves lucky to have forecasted early the impact of these prevailing winds. Today, LC is an independent, fully integrated, mid-size agency. We work with clients of all sizes; across many sectors and disciplines. Our defined and repeatable processes are employed on every client engagement. They are designed to identify the ideal "organizing concept" which is then translated into every element of the integrated marketing plan. Our objective is consistent messaging that connects with the consumer at every step along his or her decision journey.
What this means for our clients is a unique agency partnership, where we team seamlessly and efficiently between and among brand strategy, creative, PR, social, digital, media and tracking analytics to develop and consistently execute integrated marketing program in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

A Halloween Adventure in Autism
Chapter Four: Karibu Makazi! Welcome Home!
October 30, 2009
Orlando International Airport
We didnt have long to wait for the shuttle, more commonly known as the mini-monorail. It was a tad crowded, but once we arrived at the main terminal the crowd dispersed and I was impressed with how airy and clean it felt... more like a huge hotel lobby than an airport. For such a late hour there were an awful lot of yawning, stumbling little ones pulling Disney-themed rolling backpacks behind them. I suppose their parents had the same thought that we had... better to get the family down to Disney and settled into the resort late than to be traveling on Halloween. They looked so cute! I wondered how many of them would be transformed into little pirates and princesses for the same party we would be attending the following evening.
While I rummaged through my bag looking for our Magical Express vouchers, Ed decided that we should split up: he and Tricia would go to Baggage Claim to pick up our luggage, and Catie, Billy, and I would scout for food. We followed the signs to the food court area. It was almost 11:00 so we didnt really have too much to choose from. It would have to be McDonalds or.... McDonalds.
That was no problem for Billy... he loves their chicken nuggets and fries. It wasnt a problem for any of us, really (even though Im not particularly fond of fast food) since all we had eaten since lunchtime was a few cookies and some airplane peanuts. Catie kept an eye on Billy while I ordered a meal for everyone to go. I figured that we could eat while waiting for our ME bus.
Down the escalator we went, the heavy odor of French fries seeping through our McDonalds bags. Billy wanted his fries right then and there, but I told him he had to wait and he was a good boy and didnt whine. We met up with Ed and Tricia on Level Two, redistributed our packs, and found the elevators to take us down to Level One where the buses and shuttles were located. Down the hall we trudged, past the rental car counters, past Mears and assorted shuttle counters, to where we encountered two Cast Members standing in front of a set of ropes. I handed them the booklet containing our vouchers and we were directed to the lane for Animal Kingdom Lodge/Kidani Village.
Two ME buses, er, motor coaches were idling at the curb and two more CMs were waiting for us. Five for Kidani Village! called out one of them, and the driver of the first bus came out to help put our luggage on board. We were ushered into the bus without having to wait even half a minute!
The bus was packed; there was no telling how long it had been idling and filling up with guests, but I imagined that many of them had come from our flight. We had to split up. Ed and the girls found seats at the front of the bus and Billy and I were able to sit across the aisle from each other, but further toward the back. Billy immediately caught sight of the screens above and sat in rapt attention, waiting for a video to begin. This was right up his alley! Next to him sat a heavyset, thirty-something woman who did not acknowledge him when he sat down, just continued to stare out of the window. He began stimming, not too loudly, but I was concerned about how his seat-mate would react to his excited Eeeeees and Aahhhhhhs Once the video started I knew that the kicking and arm-flapping would begin as well. I tried to catch her eye, but she continued to look away, even as the bus began moving.
To my left sat a man in his twenties who was obviously with the young couple seated in front of us. They were staying at the All Stars and were very excited. I think it was their first visit. Using all three of their cell phones, they began taking a series of pictures of themselves, the background of which I discreetly tried to stay out of by leaning this way and that. To his credit, the young man asked if they were bothering me, to which I politely answered that they were not. It was just that I didnt think theyd want my big ole head in all their pictures!
I began to get somewhat self-conscious about the McDonalds bags that I held on my lap. The smell of greasy fast food seemed to me to have filled the bus and I scrunched the bags tighter and wished that I had a heavy plastic bag to stuff them into. Small spots of grease were seeping through the paper and I imagined that my clothes would be saturated with the smell of French fries by the time we reached Kidani Village. Again, Billy asked if he could have his food and I told him that he would have to wait. This time he did begin to whine a little, so I offered him some gum. Four pieces, please! he said, hopefully. Because of the autism, he loves the sensation of having his mouth stuffed full of food... at mealtimes we really have to watch him to make sure he doesnt over-fill his own mouth and gag. I countered with a more reasonable offer of two sticks and he accepted.
As he chewed, he pointed to the video screen above. Over there, he said. Fix it! (Meaning, he wanted the video to start.) We had been rumbling along for some minutes by this time and I had been wondering myself when the video would begin. Eventually, of course, it did and I was relieved that he was now going to be satisfactorily occupied for the rest of the trip. As anticipated, his arms began waving in excitement as Mickey and Pals appeared on the screen. I craned my neck to see how the lady next to him was taking it, but she seemed to ignore him all the more.
Oh well... perhaps she was afraid of germs. Some adults, especially if they do not have kids, see children as nothing but little virus bags. It also could have been that she felt uncomfortable because of his odd behavior and didn't want to stare. I looked around to see if there was anyone nearby who might be in her travel party, but she seemed to be completely solitary and content to remain so as she stared out of her window. I prayed that Billy wouldnt stomp on her foot by accident and settled in to watch the video myself.
Our first stop was Coronado Springs Resort. Ive never been to this resort... the mods weve stayed at have been Caribbean Beach and Port Orleans French Quarter... so I was anxious to see what it looked like. It wasnt easy to get a real feel for it in the dark, but I was able to get a reasonable sense of the Southwestern theme from the landscaping around the entrance to El Centro. I wouldnt mind staying here some day. Neither would the group I was sitting with. Some people from their group who were arriving the following day would be staying there, I found out.
After the CSR guests departed, we were on our way to Animal Kingdom Lodge. Upon our approach I first learned that the Disney buses always stop at Kidani Village first and then they stop at Jambo House (the main lodge.) This would be a definite advantage for us during the week. As we pulled up to the entrance, the people on the bus oohed and aahhed collectively at the site of the thatched roof of the porte cochere, through which a large palm tree sprouted, and dozens of glowing lanterns placed in the recesses of the walls on either side of the main doors. This is Kidani Village! the driver announced.

Wow. I am in complete awe of your ability to not dive into the Mickey D's on the bus! I would have rationalized that by consuming it as quickly as possible I would be reducing the odor of it on the bus -- therefore I OWE it to all the other passengers to scarf down those fries and burgers.

So glad ME was easy for you guys!
I have to agree with the others, you exhibited amazing will power to resist eating the McDonalds on the bus. I can't say we'd have done the same.
Can't wait to hear what you think of Kidani!

Why didn't the lady offer to change seats with you? Some people.
We flew home from WDW in October, with a stop in LAX. We found out as we were departing the first plane that our second flight was in another terminal. We had to walk out of the terminal, walk to a bus stop, take the bus, go through various security checkpoints, and walk to the gate.
When we got to the gate we were told we were too late and they gave our seats away. I pitched a fit, since the airline should have seen we were in the process of transferring and the flight wasn't scheduled to leave for another 20 minutes.
They asked for volunteers and got us enough seats to get on, but all were in single seats all over the plane. I asked a few people if they would switch so I could sit with my son and my husband with my daughter. No one would. It was a rough flight and we couldn't get up for most of it. It was so stressful not being able to get up and check on anyone.
We had one aisle seat and one middle seat in the same row. I asked one man if he would switch aisle seats with me so I could sit with my daughter. He wouldn't. She must have asked to use the bathroom three times during the flight. Hopefully that taught him a lesson.
I would have ate also. People bring all sorts of stuff on planes now. Someone brought a full sized pizza on the above mentioned flight! The plane was filled with a garlic and buttery smell. The guy actually tore the box into pieces and handed them one at a time to a passing attendant. lol
