(aripiprazole) Tablets
INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-RELATED PSYCHOSIS and SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Analyses of seventeen placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about 4.5%, compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the patients is not clear. ABILIFY (aripiprazole) is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of adjunctive ABILIFY or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. ABILIFY is not approved for use in pediatric patients with depression [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

The Equality Act 2010 named gender reassignment as a specific protected characteristic, alongside the other characteristics or 'equality strands': age, disability, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.
The Act provides protection for people who change the gender role they live in, regardless of whether they undergo medical procedures, against various types of discrimination and harassment. It also offers protection against discrimination by perception (for people who are perceived as being trans, though they may not actually be) and discrimination by association (for people who may have trans partners, family members or friends).
You can read more about the Equality Act here.
The Scottish Transgender Alliance website provides lots more information on practical issues such as legal rights, as well as clear explanations of terminology relating to trans people, and good practice guidance and recommendations for employers and service providers. The STA also undertakes research and hosts events. You can find information on all of these in the news and events section.

On June 23–24, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy's Bioenergy Technologies Office will host its eighth annual conference—Bioenergy 2015: Opportunities in a Changing Energy Landscape. Participants, including key stakeholders from the bioenergy industry, Congress, national laboratories, academia, and the financial community, discuss critical bioenergy issues.
How much do you know about bioenergy, how it is produced, what it is used for, and how it can help our economy and the environment? Take the bioenergy quiz and find out.
For the past seven years, All-American football player and Iowa farmer Bruce Nelson has been using corn stover—the non-edible corn stalks, husks, and leaves of a corn plant—to generate extra income at his family farm in Emmetsburg, Iowa.
The Coloring and Activity Book was developed by Bioenergy Technologies Office as part of its OPERATION BioenergizeME initiative. It is designed for children as a fun learning tool to inform them about bioenergy and raise their awareness of alternative fuel sources and renewable energy.
The Bioenergy KDF supports the development of a sustainable bioenergy industry by providing access to a variety of data sets, publications, and collaboration and mapping tools that support bioenergy research, analysis, and decision making.

Following up on our original Superleggera PRO series, Acase has created an improved and updated iPhone 5s Case / iPhone 5 Case to satisfy our customers.
While the exterior PC hard shell prevents scratches and damage from accidental drops, the interior silicone coating covering all ports provides unparalleled shock resistance. With the easy snap on protective case, Acase Superleggera PRO gives your iPhone complete double layer protection.
For the newly developed Superleggera PRO case, we chose high quality PC material to also prevent damage from more serious drops and impacts. In combination with a tough silicone coating, we also use customized Japanese paint to create more vivid colors, smoother surfaces, and more durability.
In addition, we have made an already sleek case even thinner (less than 11.4mm). With our new Superleggera PRO case for the iphone 5s & iphone 5, you can have the best of both worlds. A combination of extremely high protection and sleekness which enhances the look of the iphone 5s & iphone 5.
The continuation of enhanced and improved product lines demonstrates Acase's goal to not just create A+ quality accessories for customers, but also to build upon the previous designs by incorporating customer feedback by listening carefully to our customers comments and suggestions for improvements. By "fine tuning" what was already one the best selling and most highly rated cases for the iphone 4, we feel the Supeleggera Pro for the iphone 5s & iphone 5 is the best solution on the market today to protect your coveted device.

Laura posted this image on her blog on Monday and I was fascinated. I wasn't the only one. Curious about the floor plan... is that all one house? Yes, it is.. and others were curious too, so Laura did some more research, and scored more photos and a floor plan straight from the designer - architect Hugh Newell Jacobson

Wednesday, October 2, 2013
Imagine looking up at scenes of a Tahitian beach and listening to classical music as you have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan done at the hospital.
As Summerville Medical Center (SMC) upgrades its MRI suite, the hospital is adopting innovative changes, including calming visuals and music, to help ease patient anxiety. At the same time, the new scanner's design and accompanying technology will allow more people to benefit from MRI scans, which can be an important diagnostic tool.
"We're continuing to invest in state-of-the-art capabilities so our community doesn't have to drive downtown for specialized treatment. Our nationally recognized quality care is a product of the technology we offer and our experienced medical team," says CEO Lou Caputo.
In fact, SMC's $1.9 million MRI makeover, which should be completed by November, will include improvements that are not available anywhere else in the Charleston area.
MRI Makeover Highlights
· New dimensions – SMC is replacing its current MRI equipment and adding GE Healthcare's Optima MR 450W with the Geometry Embracing Method (GEM). The new scanner is quieter, with more pleasing lighting and a more comfortable design. The diameter of its inner tunnel (bore) is wider, providing more space around the patient. It's also shorter, so the patient typically won't be as enclosed. Around 70 percent of the time, the patient's head will be outside of the tunnel. These changes should help prevent the claustrophobic reaction that some experience during an MRI scan and cut back on the need for sedatives that roughly 30 percent of patients take beforehand. "It's a much easier environment," says Director of Imaging Greg Williams. The added width of the opening will also allow larger patients (up to 500 pounds) to have MRI scans done at SMC. Plus, the new technology offered with this scanner will expand the types of neurological, pediatric and breast MRI scans that can be done at SMC.
· A soothing, sensory approach – SMC is incorporating Caring Suite features with adjustable music, visual imagery and mood lighting. Before they enter the MRI suite, patients will be given an iPad that allows them to choose from a menu of options. Visual images will be shown on a screen in the ceiling, above the patient. Most options are nature-themed or animated for children. Corresponding music selections are classical or instrumental, but patients can bring in their own iPads or iPods if they prefer to listen to their own songs. "The whole goal is to give them some sort of control in an environment where they don't feel like they have a lot of control," Williams says. SMC is the only location in the Charleston area to offer Caring Suite as part of its MRI setup.
· Mavrik capabilities - SMC will add in GE's new Mavrik SL imaging application, which should make it much easier to read MRI scans of bone and tissue near metallic implants such as joint replacements, or certain kinds of dental work. For example, Mavrik will help orthopedic doctors identify failing knee or hip replacements before they are unsalvageable. Kevin Morris, GE product specialist for South Carolina, says Mavrik is not being used anywhere else in Charleston, but has been well received in other areas. "The feedback that we've been getting so far is that the doctors are very impressed with it." To schedule an MRI, please call 1-877-357-0156.
The new MRI unit includes calming visuals and music, to help ease patient anxiety. The suite will include a TV screen in the ceiling, as shown in this example.

Yadkin County Animal Control has exceeded its adoption goals for 2012 by nearly 20 adoptions and the shelter looks forward to continue to exceed the goal as the holidays approach.
Animal control has faced a lot of negative attitudes and press in previous years with less than stellar conditions for adoptable pets and euthanasia via the gas method but as new leadership has come to the shelter the facility has managed to turn the community and the county's perception around.
"In the past Yadkin County struggled to break 100 adoptions in a year," said Anna Hamby, Yadkin county Animal Control Director. "Last year we were able to accomplish 153 adoptions and we were pretty excited about that. It was a dramatic increase over what we have had in the past. This year I set my sights on 200 adoptions because I felt like a 1/3 increase would be a good goal for us."
As of Dec. 18 the adoption number for 2012 sits at 219 cats and dogs with another 13 days left in the month for adoptions.
Hamby said that she credits several changes to animal control policies and practices to the record breaking year. Her first acknowledgement is volunteers at the shelter. Hamby said that the volunteers work with adoptable animals and their work spreading the word in their communities has played a huge part in their success.
Hamby said that the shelter has also started allowing discounted adoption rates for approved non-profit rescue groups that look for certain breeds and can move those pets quicker than the shelter could.
"We try to get breed rescues that we know are going to be interested so we can quickly move those dogs and cats out of the shelters to prevent overcrowding as best we can," Hamby said.
Hamby said that the shelter also started offering reduced adoption rates for dogs that were already spayed or neutered. This allows animal control to place older dogs in homes more quickly.
Social media is another avenue that Hamby credits with a more successful adoption rate in 2012. Animal control has started listing available pets on its Facebook page and also features available pets on WXII's "Pet of the Week" segment, features a weekly ad in The Yadkin Ripple and is working on creating Twitter and Pintrest accounts.
Hamby said that the shelter anticipates even more adoptions in the next week or two as people like to add a new cat or dog to their family as a Christmas present.
"We do like to have animals adopted and if Christmas is the time to get them adopted then we're excited about that," Hamby said. "We've been very lucky to not have many returns. A lot of shelters have issues with return after the holidays or a few months later once the puppy or kitten is full grown. I think that people are really taking their time and thinking through their decision before adopting an animal and we're pleased with that."
Hamby said that animal control staff is always on hand during adoption times to consult with potential adopters about the animals available at the shelter and their personalities and needs. Adopters are encouraged to bring their existing pets to meet a potential adoption dog or cat to see if the animals get along.
"We want to make sure it's the right fit when they adopt," Hamby said. "Any time you bring something new into your family and into your home it's a big decision and it can put you off kilter if there's not peace in the home."
Hamby said that in the case that an adoption is not a good match for the family there is a one week return policy.
"If there's a medical issue, the dog just doesn't fit with your family or another legitimate reason then adopters can bring that pet back within one week from adoption," Hamby said.
If a return is necessary, all adoption fees will be returned.
Hamby said that she hopes to see some new additions in 2013 that will continue to help animal control exceed the goals it sets for itself. Hamby said that she believes the addition of the cat room will make a big difference in the shelter's cat adoption rates. Hamby also believes the inclusion of a foster program will help prepare more dogs for adoption that might not have been adopted otherwise while also allowing the shelter the ability to take in more animals at a time.
"The more animals that we can get into foster care, the more capacity we have to decrease euthanasia numbers," Hamby said. "Foster homes are also your best bet for helping with training issues or medical issues that would make an animal available for adoption that might not otherwise be eligible for adoption."

Intel® PRO/1000 Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters
The Intel® PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters provide in-line server appliances, such as Intrusion Protection Servers (IPSes), with high-performance, low-latency, in-line connectivity, and a bypass mode to ensure business continuity.

I would vote for sell every other computer you have and get both, but assuming that is not an option, I think I would choose the iPad. It has gotten good enough that I can comfortably do audio and photo editing on it, and I find the battery life and wireless internet aceess very compelling advantages.
New iPad vs MacBook Air: Which should you buy? [iMore TV]
Should you get the new iPad or MacBook Air, or more properly, who should get an iPad and who would do better with a MacBook Air? That was the topic of our very first iMore TV show almost 18 months -- and two full iPad generations! -- ago, and it's one we return to now following the launch of the latest, greatest 3rd generation iPad!
The MacBook Air hasn't changed much (it did get a backlit keyboard, however) but the iPad has come a long, long way in terms of display, power, and connectivity. The MacBook Air now has OS X Lion and the iPad iOS 5. While the Mac has been made took look more like the iPad, the iPad hasn't been made to work more like the Mac.
Is it fair to compare? One is a traditional laptop, albeit the best small laptop in the business, and the other is the first breakthrough tablet device. The MacBook Air is still twice the price of the iPad as well. Yet if we stop thinking in terms of product and start thinking in terms of solution, both are ultraportables that will appeal to those who want to be highly mobile. If you already have a desktop or large laptop at home or work, the MacBook Air and iPad could both be contenders for your tertiary device. If you have no computer and are looking to get something just for the internet and light productivity, both could be a great introductory machine.
Once again it's keyboard vs multitouch, storage vs battery life, and which one might be best for you, for your kids, for your parents, or just for your inner geek.
So if you've been trying to decide between an iPad and a MacBook Air check out our very latest iMore TV and we'll try to help you make the best choice possible!

New iPad vs MacBook Air: Which should you buy? [iMore TV]
I dont see the comparison. Yes they are both small but a computer is much more useful than a iPad. Its 2 completely different devices that serve different purposes. Really depends on what you need it for. Realistically the iPad compliments a computer.
But one thing there are still some programs in terms of installing it that you can't put on an ipad
Yes, she is smokin' hot!
And married?
Yep, she's married. Her husband makes the videos. :)
Why damn? All is fair in love and war.
I was asking myself this same question a few months ago. I ended up getting a MBA. What made my decision easy was that I have an iPhone. I don't understand why people pay $500+ for a device that does less than your iPhone can do but just has a bigger screen. For a couple hundred more dollars (depending on what iPad you were looking to get), you can get a MBA that does way more than the iPad could dream of doing. In terms of weight, the MBA is less than 1 pound heavier (depending on the model) and has a bigger screen. If you own an iPhone I would recommend getting an MBA over an iPad.
I love this argument; the iPad is just an oversized iPod or iPhone that is less useful. Well, the MBA is a smaller less useful laptop in comparison to a MBP! Why not spend a couple hundred more on a MBP with a disc drive, faster processor and more storage? I have an MBP, iPhone and iPad and I guarantee you there is a huge difference between an iPhone and an iPad. Try reading a book on an iPhone and compare that to an iPad. Try playing Infinity Blade on an iPad vs an iPhone. Developers have done an amazing job of making iPad-centric apps that truly make use of the larger screen compared to the iPhone apps). I would argue a large bulk of iPad owners have an iPhone as well.
Comparing an iPad to any Mac is like comparing a truck to a car. They serve different needs; if you need a Mac, you won't be happy with an iPad. However, if you have a PC/Mac, you will be very happy with an iPad and you will find your PC/Mac will collect a lot of dust; just my opinion.
It's only couple of hundred dollars more if you're referring to the MB Pro 13" in which case I would rather get the MB Air 13". It is lighter, much sleeker looking plus it feels so much faster and it has a higher screen resolution to boot.
People keep comparing iPad to an Iphone because they both do the same thing. With the exception of the iPhone making phone calls....they both run the exact same apps. During the time that I tested an iPad for work, I didn't find any app that was available on the iPad that wasn't available on the iPhone. The bigger screen is a plus but that doesn't change the fact that it functions the exact same way as an iPhone.
The functions of a MBA and a MBP are different. For starters, the MBP comes with 2 video cards which allows you to run games and programs that the MBA doesn't. MBP comes with an optical drive. MBP can actually be a desktop replacement for those people that run programs that require a lot of resoources.
You actually gain functionality for the added cost of the MBP. With the iPad, you only get a bigger screen and less functionality. In the end it is a personal preference whether you think the bigger screen is worth it. For me it wasn't. I can read stuff on my iPhone just fine and the MBA is just as portable as the iPad. If I didn't have an iPhone I would have gotten an iPad but I just couldn't justify spending $500+ for a device that does the same stuff my iPhone can do.
Apparently you haven't spent much time with an iPad. Yes, the iPad and iPhone have similar apps but good developers have made them quite different. Take a look at Scorecenter, WSJ or MLB at Bat and compare the two versions. Also, I don't believe the iPhone has an A5X processor, LTE or a 1GB RAM. I at one point was like you and wondered why get an iPad if I have an iPhone. After I did, trust me, the applications make these two very different devices.
I have an iPad 2, 11" MBA, iMac and just got an iPhone. The iPad is for renting movies and importing photos and videos from my Nikon D5100. It's perfect for a field display. I then delete the ones I don't like and when I get home I import the photos and videos into the iMac through Aperture and back up with Time Machine. I intend to use the MBA to sync with my iPhone. I can reformat my videos in iTunes for the iPhone, plus all my CD music is on my MBA. It's hard to say which one I don't need. The iMac holds everything and everyone in the family gets to use it. The MBA holds just my movies and music and only I use it. After I start using the iPhone I wonder which I'll use less. Probably none of the above. What else will they come out with I can't live without. Well I never watch TV now.
I hate having too many things around to care about, I hate having to charge too many devices before I go to bed, and I hate having to spend that extra dollar every year just to keep up with the upgrades. Each the Macbook Air, the iPad and the iPhone does a specific task better than the other. However, as much as I want to get them all, I think I'll keep it down to what's necessary which is a phone and a laptop, thus a Macbook Air and an iPhone.
Andy Ihnakto, technology writer for the Chicago Sun Times, uses the IPad as his primary full time computer.
You started off great and held on for a nice long run.....however you fell back to old habits in the last 2 minutes. Keep it up. Try harder. Speak clearly and don't hesitate with filler words.
You know who....
I have both the MBPS and iPad2 I don't think either is a wrong choice. For typing if you get a Bluetooth keyboard (which are really cheap now) apps like pages, quick office etc can handle the argument for those who say blogging or typing papers can't be done on an iPad. I guess it's more of a matter of what you have first. I have the iPad 1,2 since the first came out and then got the 2. I just recently got my first ever MBP and I find myself using my iPad less and less.
Two years ago, I was in Thailand with both a Macbook Air and an iPad (first gen). I dropped some wine in the Macbook. It just died and Apple refused to fix it for less than 900$. Fortunately, the iPad kept working (I'm a novelist). Back home, I threw away the Macbook and now travel with a brand new iPad and an Apple Bluetooth keyboard. Plus, the iPad 4G connects without wi-fi. I'm happy and don't worry about spilling liquids anymoe.
Useful information. Fortunate me I found your site by chance, and I am shocked why this coincidence did not happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
I just bought both!!! I love the 13" Air and the iPad and both are portable. You can do more on the Mac so base your decision on what you need. My friends say I'm turning into. a Apple fanboy Love it
It's perfect time to make a few plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have learn this publish and if I may just I wish to recommend you some interesting things or advice. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article. I want to learn even more things approximately it!
I enjoy you because of your whole work on this blog. Debby takes pulesare in going through internet research and it is easy to see why. I hear all concerning the compelling form you render informative strategies by means of this website and even strongly encourage contribution from other ones on that subject and our favorite daughter is in fact being taught a whole lot. Take pulesare in the remaining portion of the year. You are always performing a wonderful job.
Somebody essentially assist to make significantly posts I might state. This is the first time I frequented your website page and to this point? I surprised with the research you made to create this particular publish amazing. Wonderful process!
Can i fart on everyone's face here that is arguing about this stupid subject again? Bunch of undeceive cooklamongers..
Thanks so much, Very helpful! Not sure which one I will choose, now the mini's coming out, but I can clearly see the difference thanks to your info. I will probably get the Air, but will hopefully have both eventually, since both are so great for so many different things.

A new study and a review of studies out this month just killed the vitamin D idea. Or at least, they really ought to. I imagine there is still research in the pipeline, but I can't imagine there being a lot of new proposals after these:
There was no significant difference in the median serum vitamin D MoM or raw values within the outcome groups (P=141 and P=0.231, respectively) whereas the median PAPP-A MoM, uterine PI MoM and MAP MoM were significantly different (P=0.031, P=0.001 and P<0.0001, respectively)...
In other words, our D levels are average at the end of the first trimester. But other stuff is clearly already broken. So it's not causal.
Vitamin D supplementation in a single or continued dose during pregnancy increases serum vitamin D concentrations as measured by 25-hydroxyvitamin D at term.
In other words, *that's the only thing it seems to do*. It doesn't affect rate of onset of anything, it doesn't improve outcomes, but when you check the bloodwork, supplemented women have more vitamin D in the bloodstream.
No one would say this data completely rules out the possibility that supplementing vitamin D might help. But that doesn't mean that it is at all likely to help. It means, instead, that science can't prove a negative. If D were going to be a significant tool in our toolbox, we would see some differences in serum D levels in our population early and raising D levels would lower risk.
I'll probably write up a bit more on this for the main blog in a bit!
