Meriter West Washington
345 West Washington Ave.
Madison, WI 53703
Phone: (608) 417-8300
Can I follow my pediatrician to Meriter West Washington?
Yes! We hope that you will consider moving with your pediatrician to Meriter, as we know that you've already built a strong relationship. Meriter would be honored to continue caring for your child.
Those with Physicians Plus insurance will find the switch very easy. For those with Unity Health Plans or GHC insurance, Wisconsin law ensures continuity of care by allowing your children to continue seeing your current pediatrician for at least the remainder of your policy year. This gives you time to explore insurance policies that include Meriter providers.
Meriter Medical Group physicians serve patients of Physicians Plus, The Alliance, Blue Cross, WEA Trust, WPS, Cigna, Health EOS, Medicare and Medicaid, and most commercial insurance plans.
Do Meriter Clinics offer "after-hours" pediatric care?
Yes! The Meriter Medical Group (MMG) recently opened the Meriter Pediatric After-Hours Clinic to assist busy families and assure easy appointment access beyond regular clinic hours. Staffed by MMG pediatricians, the clinic is open to all patients age 0-18 who have an MMG primary care physician. The clinic is conveniently located on the main level (2 Atrium) of Meriter Hospital at 202 S. Park Street in Madison. Simply call your child's MMG clinic, day or night, for an appointment. The clinic will be open from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday (closed on holidays). Patients have reserved parking in the hospital parking ramp, as well as access to any ancillary services they may need including the Emergency Department, medical imaging, lab and pharmacy.
We understand that a sick child can take a toll on your family, and we're here to help. That's why we also offer same day appointments for our patients.
What do I do if there's an emergency?
In a true emergency, call 911 or take your child to the nearest emergency room. Meriter's emergency room is located at 202 S. Park Street.
The Meriter Pediatric Center is located adjacent to the emergency department in Meriter Hospital. The Pediatric Center is open 24/7 and is staffed with pediatric hospitalists who collaborate with a team of emergency physicians, physician assistants and nurses, all of whom are trained to care for children. They will work closely with your child's pediatrician to ensure the highest quality care for your child.
Meriter Pediatrics also offers an after-hours nurses' line. If you aren't sure whether your child needs to be seen in an urgent care/emergency room, just call your clinic and we can help you make this decision. If the nurses' line suggests you visit the urgent care or ER, you will be connected with a physician before making your final decision.
How difficult will it be to transfer over my child's records?
Our clinic staff will work with you to make the transition as smooth as possible. You will be asked to sign a consent form when you come in for your appointment. That will allow us to view your UW records electronically and the information will then be part of your child's Meriter medical record.
If my child has a Meriter pediatrician, will they still have access to the American Family Children's Hospital and any local specialists that they may need?
Yes, absolutely. Your child's health is our main priority, and we will refer children where necessary to warrant the best outcome. Our pediatricians work closely with the pediatric hospitalist teams at the Children's Hospital and Meriter Hospital, so your child will be admitted to whichever hospital is best suited to deal with your child's situation. Also, Meriter pediatricians work closely with UW sub-specialists on a daily basis, so if your child ever needs specialty care that's not available through the Meriter Medical Group, her or she will be referred to UW Health or another appropriate physician.
What if my child needs to see the doctor between August 24 and September 5?
We would be happy to schedule your child with one of our other pediatricians or family medicine physicians during this interim period. Please just call the clinic and we'll make sure your child's needs are taken care of.
Can I still use MyChart?
Yes, we encourage you to use Meriter MyChart, so please ask your doctor about it at your next appointment. If you sign up for a Meriter MyChart account, you'll still be able to access all of the information that was in your previous Madison-area health system MyChart account (UW Health, GHC & Dean) by using MyChart Central. If you have any questions regarding your medical information MyChart, or if you need information beyond what is available to you online, please call your clinic. For website and technical questions, please call the patient help desk at (888) 256-3554.
Where is Meriter West Washington?
The clinic is centrally located a few blocks off of the Capitol Square at 345 West Washington Avenue. We are located on the first floor. Free clinic parking is located in the ramp below the building. The ramp can be accessed via West Washington Avenue or Main Street. Just stop to get your parking stub validated before leaving the clinic.

SAN FRANCISCO – In a funky, exposed-pipe room on what used to be part of the San Francisco Chronicle building's first floor – hard times, audible sigh, for newspapers having to sell off space – a loosely affiliated group of writers gathered to read from their work.
Nothing too unusual about that. This city is nothing if not literary. Every cafe has its poet laureate, every bistro its writer-in-residence, every dive bar its Bukowski.
What made the bi-monthly gathering of the LitUp Writers at the Intersection for the Arts noteworthy was the raw emotion and vulnerability in stories delivered by both aspiring and established fiction crafters and memoirists. It was not some slick, über-NPR-cool "This American Life" production, nor was it a takeoff on the standup comedy stylings of the heralded "Mortify" crew in the Bay Area.
This, rather, was open- a-vein writing. Funny, yes. Heartfelt, often. Stilted and maundering, occasionally. Call it San Francisco Unwired, stripped of ironic detachment – at $5 a ticket, too.
More than anything, I walked out after the 90-minute reading with a new appreciation of just how hard it is to write well, especially for the spoken word. I felt for some of the younger participants, MFA students at local universities, as they stood exposed on stage, manuscript pages quivering in their hands.
But when a story worked, when it fully engaged the audience and seemingly imbued this small performance space with a communal vibe, the words rang true. It was like overhearing two friends at the booth next to you sharing intimate details; you couldn't help but crane your neck and listen in.
And that's not just the $1 Jell-O shots talking, folks.
Such writer-listener intimacy is what spawned the group's shows, according to one of LitUp Writers' founders, Jennifer Lou.
An English lit major at Columbia who fell under the spell of Silicon Valley techies for a few years before coming back like a wayward daughter to her first love, Lou said the idea for the public readings came, not surprisingly, from a conversation in a cafe among her friends from a writing class.
"They got to talking about stories of their names," she said. "We all had one. Kelly changed her name because she was talking about how people reacted to her name, and Brittany had gotten divorced so she talked about getting her name back. So, we decided to put together a show about names as a theme.
"We were surprised. We had a lot of people come out – 100 people. We had so much fun that we decided to do it again. Then we started doing it quarterly, then every other month."
The group now boasts a dozen writers, some published, some still striving to be. The group puts out a yearly journal of original stories, many of which germinated onstage.
"Our goal is to run a storytelling series," Lou said. "Sometimes, they are really funny stories on all kinds of topics. There's a niche in humor writing, but that's not really us. It's so hard to do well. We do a mix of that with very serious, poignant stories."
The story Lou read on this night was titled "The Talk," a wry retelling of how her strict Chinese immigrant father waited until her senior year in high school to tell her about sex – at a McDonald's near the airport in Hartford, Conn. She wanted to hide behind her burger as her dad recounted his own randy teen "temptations." Unfortunately, a jumbo jet rumbled right when dad got to the main point.
"Then he started to raise his voice because a shiny red and white TWA plane took off on the runway," Lou told the crowd. "He said, 'I'M GLAD I WAITED FOR YOUR MOM! PLEASE WAIT FOR MARRIAGE!' Luckily, between the playground noise and the plane, no one else heard my dad. But my 17-year-old virgin ears had been assaulted."
Lou waited for the laughter to subside, then recounted how, at 17, her father had to flee China, leaving his family behind, and roamed the streets of Taiwan on his own. The audience gained a greater understanding of a man who could've come off as solely a cartoonish depiction of the clueless immigrant father.
Such an abrupt narrative turn pleasantly defied audience expectations. But the final performer of the night was the biggest surprise. It turned out to be Richard Stockton, a professional stand-up comic, TV actor and public-radio storyteller. It was like having Michael Phelps show up at a public-pool swim meet.
Stockton, a Sacramento native now living in Santa Cruz, was 25 years older than any other performer. But his experience in front of an audience and open mikes shined brightly.
He was animated and vocally pliant, punctuating key words and phrases with either rock-star scream or a yoga teacher's murmur. His tale of teenage '60s rebellion at Rio Americano High School, focusing on his quixotic quest to rid school premises of a burdensome parking-lot stop sign, was elevated to Homeric mythos. It was a lively tale of civil disobedience mixed with teen drunkenness and stupidity. A ripping yarn, start to finish.
The crowd was transported – and not just because the price of Jell-O shots had been cut in half.
Asked later for the secrets of storytelling, Stockton replied, "What did Bob Newhart say? You need to feel like you're taking them by the hand. Emotionally, the experience in one-to-one. It's a conversation.
"When I'm really, really, really rocking a room, it's almost like my eyes go dim and I can see the energy going out. But the primary ingredient in being a good storyteller is time on stage. Just keep telling your story, man."
In San Francisco, that's not hard to do.

Telecommunications Industry News
Private Equity Consortium Finalizes Financing for BCE Buyout5:15 am on July 7, 2008 | Category: Business, Corporate
The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and its consortium of private equity partners have reached a final agreement to complete their $52 billion leveraged buyout of Canada's largest telecommunications company, BCE Inc., by December 11.
Under the terms of the revised agreement, BCE shareholders will receive the original price of C$42.75 per share, but will not receive dividends for the next few months, as some $900 million is set aside to appease several banks that are reluctantly financing the deal.
The BCE buyout, which appeared to be in trouble a few weeks ago as financial institutions threatened to abandon the deal, is now a bright spot in a leveraged buyout market that has been largely crippled by the subprime mortgage crisis and rising borrowing costs.
"BCE's release is uplifting news, signaling the ability to close transactions with big funding requirements, at least for highly cash-generative assets," commented managing director, Edward Nash, of CIBC World Markets in Toronto.
BCE shares surged C$4.49, or 13% on Friday, to close at C$39.64 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

I made it, it tasted wonderfull. I added extra a clove of garlic and some appel slices. Healty and (in Dutch:) Lekker!flag if inappropriate
Just made this as written and I thought it was a revelation! Wonderful combination of sweet and spicy. The cayenne has quite a kick. Made it with Rosemary Pork Chops from the same issue of Gourmet. The pairing was better than you might think at first glance. Will definitely add to my regular rotation.flag if inappropriate
Very quick and very easy. I like to follow a recipe as written the first time to see how it was intended to come out but I agree with the other reviewers: experiment with the recipe by exchanging broth for water if you prefer to do so, add toasted nuts for greater depth, try different dried fruits like cranberries, cherries or dates with the apricots. I will be making grilled tofu steaks and greens to pair with this grain dish for a wintery vegetarian meal.flag if inappropriate
This pilaf is that nice combo of sweet and savory that I like a lot. I used the suggestion of making the rice part with vegetable broth, as well as adding more cinnamon and some dried cranberries. Also, I subbed barley for bulgar and then stuffed the mixture in 1/2 of an acorn squash.flag if inappropriate
Yummy! Just made this dish to add to my lunch tomorrow. Super quick, healthy and delicious. I, too, cooked the bulgur in vegetable stock and increased the cayenne because I like things a bit more spicey! Enjoy!!flag if inappropriate
Good easy side dish that is healthy too. Nice savory/sweat combo.flag if inappropriate
Very good, I'd recommend using chicken broth instead of water, and add a little more apricots, or raisins.flag if inappropriate
I have made this a few times now. Great healthy side dish.flag if inappropriate
Wonderful easy side dish. Found Bulgar with Goya beans in latin foods section of store. Apricots give nice flavor, cayenne adds a little zip.flag if inappropriate
I did not have dried apricots so used dried cranberries. I almost always sub broth for water when cooking grains and used 2 cups of organic chicken broth and organic bulgar. Added some chopped pecans o the top. Delicious.My husband loved the combination of spicy and sweet. The leftovers will be served cold today as part of a lunch salad platter.flag if inappropriate

'Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father'
Next to our year-end Holy Day season of Christmas and Hanukkah, there is no question that our Thanksgiving holiday is as important a time of family celebration as any time of the year.
For many Americans, this is an annual tradition when loved ones and friends get together to feast on turkey and great side dishes while watching the Macy's Parade and football games on television.
So when did this wonderful Thanksgiving tradition begin?
During the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national holiday of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwells in the Heavens." Since 1863, this has been an annual celebration of the American People, observed on the last Thursday of November of each year.
Historically speaking, President Lincoln was not our first national or historical leader who has declared an appointed time for the American people to thank God for His incredible bounty and protection in keeping our country strong and free. Our American leaders have observed this sacred tradition since the birth of our nation.
In some years, it has been easier to thank God for His blessings in our lives; in others, it has been much harder due to the economic or political era we were in.
While I can't possibly understand or know what each and every family is going through this year, I want to humbly remind us of the blessings we all enjoy as Americans. We are blessed citizens living in the most prosperous and free country in the world. Despite the numerous harsh economic and political events of recent days, to borrow a metaphor from the sport of boxing, our country may have been rocked to its knees, but the spirit of the American People always fought back — and we have never been defeated. We will do this again if we don't lose faith in God, ourselves and with each other.
"America the Beautiful," the timeless American anthem for our country, reminds us of our spiritual heritage in the last stanza: "America! America! God shed His grace on thee." May we never forget to thank God for His grace and protection for over 230 years.
Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless us all!

Have you experienced service disruptions for lengthy times in your area?
It seems over the last few months my own cell phone service has really been erratic. I have been unable to call out for hours on end. I thought it was just my own phone when it happened.
A recent outage in Nevada happened and I was stunned to find out I was not the only one. My own cell phone was not calling anywhere. Land phone lines and credit card processors were not working either for certain transactions most the day, shops I went to were using manual hand-written invoices or cash only and so on. Internet services were also down for hours. This experience was totally disruptive.
Here are some explanations that seem a bit sketchy at best:
ELKO — Northeastern Nevada communities lost telephone, Internet and cellphone service in a spotty outage that was the result of a cut in a fiber optic cable between Reno and Elko.
"It was a fiber cut in the Verizon territory," said Karen Miller, a spokeswoman for Frontier, which has traffic riding on the cable.
She said service was down from 10:40 a.m. Tuesday to 8:54 p.m. for Frontier customers who lost long-distance service and in some cases all services.
Tonopah lost high-speed Internet service only, Miller said.
Jarryd Gonzales of Verizon said he had no reports of any outages in Nevada, and he thought the cut line is Frontier's now that Verizon sold land lines in Nevada to Frontier.
There were reports the line was cut near Lovelock, but Miller didn't have confirmation.
Another area of Nevada:
Phones Web Cut in Ely
An as yet unexplained outage left much of rural Nevada without telephone or internet service for much of Tuesday.
Roughly corresponding to AT& T's service area, phone and internet service was off for most of the vast Nevada outback from Winnemucca to Ely and as far south as Caliente and Pahrump according to reports.
Some if not most cel phone service was also interrupted.
"Service was cut," said a spokesman from the White Pine county Sheriff's Department. "We were not given an explanation."
Telephone and internet service in most of elko county serviced by Frontier Communications was not affected nor was service in Wendover, Utah with service provided by Centracom.
Another area of Nevada....
Customers Back Online After Power Outage in Reno
RENO, NV - NV Energy officials say birds started a fire on a power line in Reno, causing that line to lose power, affecting about 1800 customers.
It started around 3:30pm Wednesday in the area of Wells and Kuenzli, even affecting the VA hospital on Locust Street, which has backup generators. All the power has been restored. Around midnight most of the customers except 10 had their power restored, the final 10 customers got power back around 2 a.m.
Now there's a first...since when do BIRDS cause power outages on major power lines???? Must have been a bird the size of a pterodactyl chewing on the lines...!
Around Oct 16th my own cell phone would not make a single call to anywhere for about 4-5 hours. Here is another discussion about it as it was happening East to West coast US:
SOURCE: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/reno-fire-officials-point-to...
OCTOBER 16th Major Services out in US:
"...Just heard reports...a major data outage on LTE & other data services..." NY
"I lost 4G service about an hour ago, stuck with 3G or 1X. Wonder if its the same problem over here on the west coast." Calif.
"Washington state checking in. No 4g or 3g to speak of..."
"Same here in Nashville, TN.."
"I just noticed that I'm only getting 3G in the ATL"
"1X here in Southern California. Been about two hours now."
Here are more discussions in another forum:
GPS was also affected for some too!
"Would this affect GPS, my GPS was not locating any satellites"
Cell phone outage discussions global:
"I'm in Australia and can confirm that there is no signal here."
"china here, no signal! oh noes!"

Power Outage Hits 70% of Venezuela (Sept 4)
Venezuela's main power distribution network failed on Tuesday, depriving 70% of the country of electricity and creating traffic chaos in much of Caracas, which normally escapes such outages.
Electrical Energy Minister Jesse Chacon said on state TV that the failure was in the "backbone" that carries electricity from the Bajo Caroni region, where 60% of Venezuela's power is generated.
President Nicolas Maduro said on Tuesday night that 14 of 23 states lost power for much of the day. He said service was "progressively restored" with some exceptions, including the oil-producing state of Zulia.
Power that was lost at midday was restored in Caracas by nightfall.
Despite possessing the world's largest proven oil reserves, Venezuela has been plagued in recent years by worsening power outages. They have, however, rarely affected metropolitan Caracas, home to more than one-sixth of the country's 28 million people.
Maduro said the oil industry, the lifeblood of the economy, was not affected by the outage.
The capital's subway service was temporarily interrupted, and authorities evacuated riders from several trains.

Montreal's metro is up and running again after service went down on all lines this afternoon.
The city-wide metro outage hit commuters around 5:45 p.m.
According to Montreal's public transit corporation, the breakdown was caused by a computer problem.
This is the second time in less than a month that technical issues have brought the metro to a standstill.
In 2012, Montreal's metro had more than 1,000 unplanned stoppages, making it the worst record for service delays in six years.
An internal report by the STM revealed that half of interruptions were caused by passengers.
Hydro restored power to 8,000 workers in north Winnipeg after a power outage Sunday morning.
Power has been restored to approximately 8,000 Manitoba Hydro customers in north Winnipeg.
Melting snow mixed with the dirt and grime of spring to create a short circuit that caused two Hydro poles to catch fire around 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning.
Hydro spokesperson Anthony Koop said power went out between the Red River, McPhillips St., Leila Ave. and Inkster Blvd. Crews restored power around 12:45 p.m.
The Aberdeen Ave. power outage was one of four last night. Crews were responding to a power outage on Berry St. that left 400 customers without power when they got the call about the fires on Aberdeen.
Power also briefly went out in parts of Fort Garry and the West End.
Microsoft's Azure Storage Service Suffers Worldwide Outage (Feb 23)
Microsoft is dealing with a worldwide outage in an online service that stores data for a wide range of business customers.
The software maker says its Azure service went down shortly before 4 p.m. EST (2100 GMT) Friday. The breakdown prevented Azure customers from accessing files kept in Microsoft's data centers.
Microsoft Corp. didn't say what crippled Azure, in a Friday statement acknowledging the problem. The company, based in Redmond, Washington, says it is working to fix the problem.
Super Bowl Power Outage (Feb 3)
The Superdome had a backup power system ready to go, and it was about to be used when the power started coming back on, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Jerusalem - Service for one of Israel's largest cellphone providers has been disrupted.
In a message on its website, Pelephone said the service went down Sunday evening and that it was investigating the malfunction.
Outage Halts Bank of America Electronic and Phone Banking (Feb 1)
Bank of America Corp. customers were unable to access its electronic banking operations and telephone call centers for several hours Friday morning. Bank of America Corp., based in Charlotte, N.C., is the second-largest U.S. bank by assets, wouldn't elaborate on what caused the outage.
"We're addressing the issue as quickly as possible," said Mark Pipitone, a technology and operations spokesman at the bank. "We're also working closely with our customers to help them alleviate any concerns."
The bank's ATMs were functioning normally, he said.
Pipitone declined to provide details of what caused the extensive outage.
Customers who tried to sign on to BofA online and mobile services on Friday were greeted with a text message advising them to go to ATMs or branches.
Calls to BofA's telephone banking service went unanswered as well.
At sitedown.co, an online tracker of outages at business websites, scores of customers were reporting problems. Some took potshots at the Charlotte, N.C.-based bank.

Massive Telecommunications Blackout Cripples Queensland Australia (Jan 28)
HUNDREDS of thousands are in the grip of a crippling telecommunications blackout with no phone, mobile, internet, or emergency 000 hotline access across a vast swathe of north and west Queensland.
It is likely to be days before the nation's biggest carrier, Telstra, can get crews in by helicopter into fix destroyed fibre-optic cable because of severe flooding both on the coastal and back-up inland route.
Authorities urge residents to stay calm and avoid "panic" or "hysteria" with more than half the state off the grid with power blackouts and total communication breakdown under an unprecedented flood crisis.
There has been loss of landline and broadband services in a line everywhere north of Gladstone including Mackay, Cairns, Rockhampton, Townsville, Mount Isa and Weipa.
Telstra declined to put a figure on the number of customers and businesses affected but it is likely to be in the hundreds of thousands.
In some parts, flights have been grounded and there has been a rush on banks to withdraw cash, get fuel supplies and stock up on food.
Telstra has resorted to using satellite phone and ABC radio to get out the message with reports airports are delaying flights because of the information blackout.
On Friday, Telstra's coastal fibre-optic cable that carries much of the state's communications needs was damaged by severe flooding in the Colosseum area, 370km north-west of Brisbane.
This was followed by further damage to a back-up cable north of Harlin, near Kilcoy late yesterday.
Many 2G, 3G and 4G mobile services throughout Central and Northern Queensland have also been impacted.
"You do feel like you are naked without it," said Brisbane-based Telstra spokeswoman Jane de Gault.
"For so many of us, our mobile phone is our right hand. But we have helicopter and crews on standby ready to go as soon as we can get the all-clear.
"It is a major concern. But the worst thing to do is panic."
The Telstra executive is working from her car because her Bulimba home and George Street office are both without power.
In most cases, customers will not be able to make landline calls outside their region, but may still be able to dial locally. While communications are limited in these areas, Telstra encourages customers with mobile service to use their device in emergency situations only.
Repair crews are flying to Colosseum and Kingaroy by helicopter to repair the cable damage and begin restoring services but efforts are being hampered by heavy weather and flooding.
It is possible it will take days to restore the service given the severity of the flood event.
Overnight, Telstra fibre repair technicians attempted to attend the site of damage affecting the cable 6.7 kilometres north of Harlin, near a river crossing in Kingaroy, but due to extensive flooding were required to turn back 20 kilometres from site.

Pakistan Twenty20 captain Mohammad Hafeez has said that luck and momentum will be the key factors to take his side to success in the ICC World T20, starting in Bangladesh in a few days.
Pakistan is going into the tournament after playing the Asia Cup final, having defeated South Africa and Sri Lanka in their previous ODI series.
According to the Express Tribune, Hafeez believes that his players are in good form ahead of the tournament, although he added that they need to carry forward the success momentum from the Asia Cup and hoped that they are also favoured with luck.
The report mentioned that Pakistan is tied in the group also featuring India, Australia and the defending champions West Indies and will open their campaign against arch-rivals India on March 21.

Darwin, C. R. to Cottage Gardener

Inquires whether "a Devonshire Bee-keeper" [T. W. Woodbury] who reported a common drone entering a hive of Ligurian bees [Cottage Gard. 24 (1860): 94] believes, with Andrew Knight, that queen bees are seldom fertilised by their own blood-relations. Asks how far a hive of common bees was from that of the Ligurians.
Summary Add
-- ``A Devonshire Bee-keeper'' states (page 94) that he caught
a common drone entering one of his hives of the pure Ligurian stock. Will he have the kindness to state at what distance in a straight line there are hives of the common bee? I believe it is not known how far the drones commonly wander from their own hive. Andrew Knight believed, as stated in the ``Philosophical Transactions,'' that the queen was seldom fertilised by her own blood-relations, the drones of her own hive. Does ``A Devonshire Bee-keeper,'' who seems to be so conversant with the habits of bees, believe in this doctrine of Andrew Knight?—

- f2 2777.f2The article, signed `A Devonshire bee-keeper', was published in the Cottage Gardener on 8 May 1860 (see n. 1, above). The author stated that two out of his four Ligurian queens appeared to be hybrids and that he had seen an ordinary drone entering the hive of his Ligurian bees.

On other evidence, he inferred that drones extended their flight to a greater distance than was generally imagined. Nevertheless, he believed that females were `very generally fertilised by the offspring of the same mother' (Cottage Gardener 24 (1860): 143).

Today when you talk about video games, nearly everyone knows what an MMO is, and most have tried one at some point, whether they ended up liking them or not. It's hard to imagine that the term was only coined about 18 years ago.
On December 15, 1995, the game Meridian 59 was released in beta. It would take almost a year before the official commercial release, published by a company called 3DO. Meridian 59 was the first game that would fit into today's genre of MMO. Its developers originally called it a Massively Multi-Player Role-Playing Game, or an MMPRPG. About the same time, a game called The Realm Online appeared, and a year later Ultima Online. Ultima Online would cement the idea of the MMO in the hearts and minds of gamers.
But let's take the "way back" machine a little further. Those early MMOs were built off (and commonly lumped with) what people referred to as graphical MUDs. MUDs were Multi-User Dungeons and traditionally they were text based, but as computers improved, developers started including graphical elements in their games. Some of the more famous of these were Island of Kesmai (1985), Habitat (1986), and Neverwinter Nights (1991).
These MUDs were created by developers that wanted to fuse digital games with the popular pen and paper games of the time. Many of the most successful MUDs were based on modules from Dungeons and Dragons. Developers built digital versions of the rich role-playing campaigns they enjoyed on paper.
One of these games was called Sojourn (1993), set in the Forgotten Realms of Dungeons and Dragons. At its height, there would be over 400 players online at once in the game, making it hugely popular. (For comparison, games like World of Warcraft and World of Tanks have reported over a million concurrent users in the last few years.) One of these Sojourn players, a programmer by the name of Brad McQuaid, would take what he loved from MUDs and go on to help create EverQuest.
EverQuest first launched in March of 1999 and became an instant success. In less than a year it had overtaken its competitors in subscription sales, and continued to grow. Nearly 15 years later there have been 20 expansions to the original game, various offshoot games, and even novels (and graphic novels) set in the EverQuest universe.
Now there is a new generation of MMOs, improving on the genre just like the first MMOs improved on the graphical MUDs. The EverQuest world is set to evolve, and EverQuest Next is promising to become the future of MMOs. But is that future actually linked to the past?
When MUDs were first created, they were designed to be digital versions of pen and paper campaigns. The limited computing power and game engines crippled these games. While they may have been new and exciting at the time, they were still nothing compared to the power of a player's imagination. Pen and paper gaming lived on alongside digital gaming.
The worlds of the "next gen" MMO are more vast, more detailed, and more alive than ever before. The AI of the games is as close to an intelligent Game Master as developers can get. The MMO genre is slowly closing the distance between the rich settings in our imaginations, and what we can experience on a computer screen.
So as we celebrate the amazing future of online gaming, let's also give a nod to the character sheet and our set of polyhedral dice. Pen and paper games can still teach us a lot about what makes a great online game, about how to create a living world, and about a campaign that never ends.
P.S. – If you want to take a trip back in time yourself, both Meridian 59 and the descendant of Sojourn (TorilMUD) are still live. You can sign up and play them!

With the approaching holiday season, Carbon County residents are starting to focus on finding perfect gifts for people on shopping lists.
When deciding whether to purchase holiday gifts by telephone, via catalogues, in traditional retail stores or online, the Utah Division of Consumer Protection encourages local residents to:
Shop early.
Last minute shoppers are more susceptible to high-pressure sales tactics and impulse buying.
Know with whom they are dealing.
If shopping by catalog, phone or online, savvy consumers confirm an address and phone number to contact with questions or problems.
People should be particularly alert when ordering online through auctions offering high demand items.
The more scarce the product, the more attractive it is for a scammer to place fraudulent sales advertisements, cautions the state agency.
Protect personal privacy.
Savvy consumers should provide personal information only if they know who's collecting the data.
People should determine why and how the information will be used.
When online, people should look for the company's privacy policy or ask the customer service representative for a copy when on the phone, advised the consumer protection division.
While online, order only on a secure server.
Savvy consumers should look for an unbroken key or padlock at the bottom of the browser window to ensure transmissions are protected.
People should buy only from companies that protect financial information when for shoppers who are ordering online, emphasizes the consumer protection division.
Guard online passwords.
People should use different passwords to make purchases than when logging on to their computers or networks.
Pay with a credit card. It is safer than carrying cash and offers consumer protection.
Check out refund and return policies before buying gifts.
People should hang on to payment receipts in case documentation of purchases become necessary in the future.
Read the fine print.
When shopping online, savvy consumers should click on any hyperlinks leading to terms and conditions, warranty or rebate information, additional cost or other important information before purchasing merchandise.
Check delivery dates.
When people place orders, vendors usually tell consumers when to expect delivery.
State and federal laws require sellers to ship items as promised or within 30 days after the order date.
If the vendor cannot ship the goods within the promised date or 30-day deadline, the seller must notify the consumer.
In addition to notification, the vendor must give people the chance to cancel purchases and provide full refunds.
Review warranties.
Consumers have the right to review the warranty before purchase a product.
For online information, shoppers should search the websites for hyperlinks leading to the full warranty or to an address where consumers can obtain a free copy.
If the warranty is available online, consumers should print a copy when making purchases and keep a record of the information.
People should also print and keep copies of all purchase orders.
Develop budgets and comparison shop before purchasing items.
Some merchants promise to match or beat competitors' prices. But consumers should read the merchants' pricing policy carefully since the guideline may not apply to all items handled by the companies, points out the state agency.
Factor shipping and handling fees into the costs of orders.
Savvy consumers consider the information to choose the delivery option that meets shopping budgets, notes the state agency.
Allow plenty of time for shipping and delivery of online or catalog orders.
By considering the time constraints, consumers will reduce the risk of late deliveries.
For additional information, Carbon County residents may contact the Utah Division of Consumer Protection via telephone toll-free at 1-800-721-7233.

- How to Read a Study Record
Hib disease rates in rural Alaska before introduction of HIb conjugate vaccine were among the highest in the world. Since vaccine introduction, rates have fallen by 90% but the disease has not been eliminated. This study is designed to test one possible means of eliminating Hib carriage and thus to eliminate person to person transmission and invasive disease.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of community-wide use of Hib conjugate vaccine for eliminating oropharyngeal Hib carriage in rural Alaska villages.
Secondary objectives include:
- Determine risk factors for Hib OP carriage including demographic characteristics, and immunologic characteristics (antibody level and function). This will be accomplished through a case-control study described below.
- Measure antibody response to Hib conjugate vaccine among adults who have not previously received Hib vaccine. This will be accomplished through a cohort study of participating adults in the vaccine intervention communities.
Haemophilus Influenzae Type B

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|A Demonstration Project for the Elimination of Haemophilus Influenzae Type B in Three Rural Alaska Native Villages
- Change in community-wide oropharyngeal Hib colonization one year after administration of a single dose of Hib vaccine to all willing community members in 3 villages vs. change in HIb colonization in 3 village where Hib vaccine was used routinely
- - Safety of HIb vaccine given to adults
- - Anti-PRP antibody/ avidity/ serum bacteriocidal activity among adult vaccine recipients, Hib colonized persons and age-matched controls
- - Risk factors for Hib colonization
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2001
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|November 2003
This was a pilot intervention to assess the feasibility of using Hib conjugate vaccine to eliminate Hib carriage in rural Alaska villages, with three villages to serve as a comparison group. WE performed community-wide surveys of Hib carriage by recruiting volunteers for throat cultures to establish a baseline rate of Hib carriage for each community. Then Hib carriers were offered chemoprophylaxis to clear Hib from their throats. In the vaccine intervention communities, a single dose of Hib conjugate vaccine was offered to persons of all ages. This was followed by a second community-wide Hib carriage survey after one year to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- All village residents are eligible for Hib colonization survey
- All residents of selected villages eligible for vaccine study except as noted below.
Exclusion Criteria:
- For receipt of vaccine:
- history of allergic reaction to Hib vaccine or components
- Age < 24 months and not due for Hib vaccine according to childhood immunization schedule
- Age > 24 months and have received HIb vaccine within past year
- Pregnant

8. What causes FSHD?
Research published in 2010 identified a unifying cause of FSHD. The bottom line is that there is a gene contained within the repeats on chromosome 4, called DUX4, that is usually turned off and therefore not functional in mature cells. However, in patients with FSHD this gene is turned on in the muscle cells and the protein produced by this gene is toxic to muscle cells. The turning on of this normally dormant gene is the cause for FSHD1 and FSHD2 even though the genetic defect that leads to this different for each:
- FSHD1: The tip of chromosome 4 has a sequence of repetitive identical pieces of DNA, also called repeats. Typically individuals without FSHD have between 10-100 repeats on each copy of their chromosome 4. Each repeat contains the same sequence for the DUX4 gene. When the number of repeats is 10 or greater, the DNA containing this gene is tightly bound and the DUX4 gene is silenced. However, when you lose repeats and are down to 1-9 repeats, the DNA structure is loosened (Figure: unwound green line of the 1-9 repeats) and the DUX4 gene is turned on. This will only occur, however, when there is a particular DNA sequence called the A sequence, after the last repeat which stabilizes the RNA produced from the DUX4 DNA. The RNA is a copy of the DNA message that is then used to make the corresponding DUX4 protein.
- FSHD2: In patients with FSHD2, the number of repeats on chromosome 4 is normal and yet the structure of the DNA is loosened by the reduction in the number of chemical bonds (called methylation) between the strands of the DNA. In about 80% of patients with FSHD2, we now know that this reduction in methylation bonds that loosens the DNA structure, is caused by a mutation in a gene on chromosome 18 called SMCHD1 (Figure: indicated as SMCHD- above). The protein produced by this gene is responsible for regulating how tightly bound DNA is on chromosome 4. Like FSHD1, if this loosening happens in the setting of the A distal sequence, once again, the DUX4 gene is turned on producing its toxic protein.
In summary in both FSHD1 and 2 the normally dormant DUX4 gene is turned on and the resulting protein is toxic to muscle fibers. In FSHD1 this happens because you lose a large number of repeats which loosens the DNA structure whereas in FSHD2 the DNA is loosened because another gene that produces a protein responsible for keeping the DNA tightly bound is mutated and the resulting protein is dysfunctional.

Initially I planned to make North by Northwest a title revisited in my "Shelf Life" column, but I decided against it when I realized that most folks just love that movie to death, including myself, so seeing whether it's still good would be purely redundant. But the new Blu-ray released by Warner Brothers also didn't seem like it warranted a question of whether or not it was superior to its predecessors thanks to a wealth of bonus content – that is, until I discovered that in fact some of it was on previous versions, no doubt leaving longtime fans with a quandary whether or not to shell out a few more shekels to see one of their favorite Alfred Hitchcock films in high-definition.
As such, North by Northwest is the overdue subject of this week's "Making The (Up) Grade," and I spare no effort examining the past, present and future of this film's home video incarnations.
What's Already Available:
MGM Home Video released a DVD of North by Northwest in September of 2004 that featured an impressive slate of extras, including a commentary track by screenwriter Ernest Lehman, a music-only track showcasing Bernard Herrman's score, still photo and trailer galleries, and "Destination Hitchcock," a feature-length documentary about the making of the film. Oh, and it also featured MGM's classic widescreen-versus-pan-and-scan option for folks afraid of black bars at the top and bottom of the screen (of which there were actually none since the film was shot in a 1.66:1 aspect ration).
What's In The New Set: In addition to the commentary by Ernest Lehman, "Destination Hitchcock" documentary, the music-only audio track, and the gallery of stills, trailers and TV spots, the new set features all-new restored picture and sound, three new documentaries, and Warner's trademark booklet packaging which features essays and additional background information about the film.
What's The Difference In The Movie Itself: The closest qualitative comparison one can make to the quality of the transfer on this disc is the stunning work that was done for the re-release of Hitchcock's Vertigo in 1996: using the VistaVision source material, the DVD producers meticulously cleaned up and preserved the original images in a way that feels completely authentic to the time period in which they were created, but still satisfies the demands of contemporary audiences. The colors are sharp and vivid, focus is crisp, and overall the film looks as clean as if it were taken straight from an '09 (rather than '59) intermediate.
In terms of the sound, the score is mixed into the surround channels, expanding the original 5.1 mix that was produced for earlier DVD iterations of the film, creating a richer, more immersive experience. Meanwhile, the dialogue and sound effects are presented clearly and cleanly without a lot of revisionist augmentation – which also means that thrown punches don't quite have the same 'oof' that they might in a newer movie. But there's nothing to complain about in the presentation – quite the opposite, in fact, making this a worthwhile buy even without what's in its encyclopedia of extras.
What's The Difference In Everything Else: The original extras are by themselves terrific, particularly the "Destination Hitchcock" documentary, which takes a complete and more or less chronological look at the making of the film, and Lehman's commentary, which offers a wealth of understated but fascinating insights into his collaboration with Hitchcock.
Meanwhile "The Master's Touch," one of the new documentaries on the Blu-ray delves into Hitchcock's visual style, looking at the structure, technique and impact of the director's work, complete with testimonials by the likes of Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro and William Friedkin. Their collective gushing notwithstanding, it reveals many of the hallmarks of the filmmaker's style that since became boilerplate storytelling techniques for any purveyor of suspense.
On the other hand, "A Class Apart" offers a biography of the film's star, Cary Grant, exploring his early days as an actor and his rise to fame as an enigmatic but irresistible leading man. Again featuring comments and interviews with folks close to the man, this time members of Grant's family (including two ex-wives), the 90-minute TCM documentary gives as complete a portrait of Grant as one imagines possible, celebrating his life and work as one of Hollywood's most iconic screen presences.
Finally, there's "One For the Ages," a 25-minute featurette in which directors like Francis Lawrence, Curtis Hanson and Christopher McQuarrie examine and discuss their interpretations of the form and content in North by Northwest. Like the other material, this is a fascinating study both of the style that Hitchcock used to tell the story, and what these seasoned filmmakers ultimately feel like the film is about.
What's The Final Grade: A. Hitchcock made an impressive number of masterpieces, and North by Northwest is one of them. Thankfully, this Blu-ray more than supports its legacy with terrific presentation and a collection of bonus content that fortifies and reaffirms both its importance and influence.

5th Congressional District
Last Update: January 2015
Other Names
Current Site StatusRecords of Decision have been signed for seventeen of the sites that were the subjects of Remedial Investigations. Three of these were landfills which have been re-graded, capped, and re-vegetated. Several Removal Actions are underway or being considered. Remedial Investigations and / or Feasibility Studies have been completed for three other sites and draft Proposed Plans are under review and revision. Remedial Investigation field work is underway at several other sites. A no-further-action decision document was signed for eleven sites that did not warrant a Remedial Investigation. Several other sites are being studied as "site screening areas" to determine if a Remedial Investigation is appropriate. A Site Management plan has been recently updated, and a site-wide Federal Facilities Agreement is in place. A study of the Mattawaman Creek has been finalized, as has a base-wide background study. The Navy is currently evaluating former firing ranges and other training areas as part of the Munitions Response Program. Preliminary Site Investigations have been completed base wide and more detailed site investigations or Remedial Investigations are underway for several sites. Three RODs were signed in 2014 addressing two areas of contaminated groundwater and one former landfill.
Site Description
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC) is located in northwestern Charles County, Maryland approximately 25 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. The facility consists of the main area on the Cornwallis Neck Peninsula and the Stump Neck Annex. The main area consists of approximately 2,500 acres and is bounded by the Potomac River to the west and north, the Mattawoman Creek to the south, and the town of Indian Head to the east. The Stump Neck Annex is located across the Mattawoman Creek and contains an additional 1,000 acres. NSWC was established in 1890 as the Naval Proving Ground, with the mission of testing explosives and propellents. Over its 100 year history of operations, the facility has manufactured a variety of munitions chemicals such as smokeless powder, ammonium picrate, nitroglycerine, and nitrocellulose. Quantities of sulfuric and nitric acids have been used in the various manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing, testing, loading, and assembly operations at the site have generated a variety of explosive, reactive, and hazardous wastes. In the past, some of these waste products were routinely dumped into pits and landfills on the facility or burned in open burning grounds. Industrial wastewaters were routinely discharged to septic systems and to open ditches and storm sewers that emptied directly to surrounding water bodies.
A number of possible contaminant sites have been identified within the facility. These generally fall into one of the following categories: releases of mercury from testing procedures, releases of silver from X-ray processes and manufacturing, solvent spills and disposal areas, open burning grounds, land disposal units, and discharges of industrial wastewater containing hazardous elements.
- Site Responsibility
- The site is being addressed through Federal actions.
- NPL Listing History
- Proposed Date: 02/13/95
Final Date: 09/29/95
Threats and ContaminantsGround water and soil are contaminated with elemental and waste mercury, silver, and lead. Areas of soils highly contaminated with volatile organic compounds have been identified and removed. Groundwater contamination associated with these areas has been investigated and is being treated. Several old landfills exist on base. Coming into direct contact with or ingesting contaminated ground water or soil may pose a health threat to people. Several endangered marine and wetland species, including the bald eagle, are found in the areas around the Mattawoman Creek and the Potomac River.
Contaminant descriptions and risk factors are available from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, an arm of the CDC.
Cleanup Progress
Threat Mitigated by Physical Cleanup Work
Site contaminants are being addressed under the Department of Defense's Installation Restoration Program and numerous site-wide studies have been done to date. These include an Initial Assessment Study, a Supplemental Preliminary Assessment Report, a Site Inspection, and a Confirmation Study. Other studies have focused on a particular area of interest such as a landfill or contaminated soils area. As a result, 16 sites are currently in the Remedial Investigation phase. Approximately 10 other sites are slated for additional limited sampling to determine if a full-scale Remedial Investigation is warranted. Concurrent with these investigations, the Navy has successfully conducted five removal actions to date. Three of these involved the excavation of contaminated soils to prevent further transport of toxic metals into the environment. Another involved slip-lining a sewer pipe and was designed to prevent the escape of volatile organic compounds into the environment and was completed in the Fall of 1999. Several additional removal actions are planned to address contamination sources. A Pilot study has been completed at one site of contaminated groundwater, and a Record of Decision has been completed for another groundwater contamination site. Lastly, the Town Gut Landfill was properly closed in the Spring of 2003 and closure of the Olsen Road Landfill was completed in the summer of 2006. RODs have been signed in 2010 for two other sites characterized by groundwater contamination. An active remediation remedy involving in situ treatment of VOCs has been selected for one and a long-term monitoring plan for metals contamination in groundwater (following a contaminate source removal action) has been selected for the other. Three additional RODs were signed in 2011. Two addressed closed landfills and the third documented the selection of soils removal and off-site disposal as the remedy for an area contaminated with mercury and lead. A long-term treatability study was completed for an area of VOC contaminated groundwater. A Proposed Plan was issued selecting in situ treatment as the preferred remedy and a ROD has been signed by the Navy. Remedial action has begun at Sites 57 and 47, both are areas of contaminated groundwater and Remedial Investigation has been completed at Site 66, a waste disposal area. Three other RODs were signed in 2014 addressing two areas of contaminated groundwater and one former landfill.

Thomas Edison once said, "Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning." Thinking through and writing down your plan will help you focus on specific goals and keep you from being easily derailed. Don't miss out on opportunities to achieve success by failing to plan.
This is your journey and as with everything the road is never straight from A to B. Their will be times when you stray from your path. When this happens you need to understand why it happened, what was the trigger, once you understand your triggers you can be on your guard next time.
Plan your work, work your plan OR the other way around would be plan to fail, fail to plan!!! ORAGNIZATION is the KEY to SUCCESS! Keep GOOD snacks on HAND ALWAYS, cut up all veggies AS SOON AS YOU GET THEM HOME and COOK your greens as soon as you get home too!! Then you have NO EXCUSES!!!
There is no need to fight nighttime food cravings if you plan for them. Every morning, take a second to budget out a post-dinner snack. By doing this, you are less likely to go over your calorie range or to succumb to eating something unhealthy. Make it a special treat that you can look forward to all day.
