'New Data Sources: A Conversation with Google's Hal Varian'
Hal Varian is interviewed on Macroblog:
New Data Sources: A Conversation with Google's Hal Varian: In recent years, there has been an explosion of new data coming from places like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Economists and central bankers have begun to realize that these data may provide valuable insights into the economy that inform and improve the decisions made by policy makers.
As chief economist at Google and emeritus professor at UC Berkeley, Hal Varian is uniquely qualified to discuss the issues surrounding these new data sources. Last week he was kind enough to take some time out of his schedule to answer a few questions about these data, the benefits of using them, and their limitations.
Mark Curtis: You've argued that new data sources from Google can improve our ability to "nowcast." Can you describe what this means and how the exorbitant amount of data that Google collects can be used to better understand the present?
Hal Varian: The simplest definition of "nowcasting" is "contemporaneous forecasting," though I do agree with David Hendry that this definition is probably too simple. Over the past decade or so, firms have spent billions of dollars to set up real-time data warehouses that track business metrics on a daily level. These metrics could include retail sales (like Wal-Mart and Target), package delivery (UPS and FedEx), credit card expenditure (MasterCard's SpendingPulse), employment (Intuit's small business employment index), and many other economically relevant measures. We have worked primarily with Google data, because it's what we have available, but there are lots of other sources.
Curtis: The ability to "nowcast" is also crucially important to the Fed. In his December press conference, former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke stated that the Fed may have been slow to acknowledge the crisis in part due to deficient real-time information. Do you believe that new data sources such as Google search data might be able to improve the Fed's understanding of where the economy is and where it is going?
Varian: Yes, I think that this is definitely a possibility. The real-time data sources mentioned above are a good starting point. Google data seems to be helpful in getting real-time estimates of initial claims for unemployment benefits, housing sales, and loan modification, among other things.
Curtis: Janet Yellen stated in her first press conference as Fed Chair that the Fed should use other labor market indicators beyond the unemployment rate when measuring the health of labor markets. (The Atlanta Fed publishes a labor market spider chart incorporating a variety of indicators.) Are there particular indicators that Google produces that could be useful in this regard?
Varian: Absolutely. Queries related to job search seem to be indicative of labor market activity. Interestingly, queries having to do with killing time also seem to be correlated with unemployment measures!
Curtis: What are the downsides or potential pitfalls of using these types of new data sources?
Varian: First, the real measures—like credit card spending—are probably more indicative of actual outcomes than search data. Search is about intention, and spending is about transactions. Second, there can be feedback from news media and the like that may distort the intention measures. A headline story about a jump in unemployment can stimulate a lot of "unemployment rate" searches, so you have to be careful about how you interpret the data. Third, we've only had one recession since Google has been available, and it was pretty clearly a financially driven recession. But there are other kinds of recessions having to do with supply shocks, like energy prices, or monetary policy, as in the early 1980s. So we need to be careful about generalizing too broadly from this one example.
Curtis: Given the predominance of new data coming from Google, Twitter, and Facebook, do you think that this will limit, or even make obsolete, the role of traditional government statistical agencies such as Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the future? If not, do you believe there is the potential for collaboration between these agencies and companies such as Google?
Varian: The government statistical agencies are the gold standard for data collection. It is likely that real-time data can be helpful in providing leading indicators for the standard metrics, and supplementing them in various ways, but I think it is highly unlikely that they will replace them. I hope that the private and public sector can work together in fruitful ways to exploit new sources of real-time data in ways that are mutually beneficial.
Curtis: A few years ago, former Fed Chairman Bernanke challenged researchers when he said, "Do we need new measures of expectations or new surveys? Information on the price expectations of businesses—who are, after all, the price setters in the first instance—as well as information on nominal wage expectations is particularly scarce." Do data from Google have the potential to fill this need?
Varian: We have a new product called Google Consumer Surveys that can be used to survey a broad audience of consumers. We don't have ways to go after specific audiences such as business managers or workers looking for jobs. But I wouldn't rule that out in the future.
Curtis: MIT recently introduced a big-data measure of inflation called the Billion Prices Project. Can you see a big future in big data as a measure of inflation?
Varian: Yes, I think so. I know there are also projects looking at supermarket scanner data and the like. One difficulty with online data is that it leaves out gasoline, electricity, housing, large consumer durables, and other categories of consumption. On the other hand, it is quite good for discretionary consumer spending. So I think that online price surveys will enable inexpensive ways to gather certain sorts of price data, but it certainly won't replace existing methods.

Research and Development by Robert A. Cooke, Ph.D. and J. Clayton Lafferty, Ph.D.
"Culture is everything."
Lou Gerstner of IBM (2002)
Quantifying and managing organisational culture is critical for bringing an organisation's values "to life", supporting the implementation of its strategies, and promoting adaptation, goal attainment, and sustainability. Organisations dedicate significant resources to developing structures and systems (e.g. performance management) on the one hand and measuring outcomes (e.g. engagement and service quality) on the other. However, it is essential to understand the factors in the middle of the equation - culture and the behaviours you're trying to drive - to ensure that initiatives are in alignment with values and will move the organisation toward its mission. More generally, you need confirmation that the culture you're creating is one that is proven to be linked to high performance. But where do you begin? As with most organisational change and development initiatives, it makes sense to start things off with the metrics provided by a statistically reliable and valid survey.
The Organisational Culture Inventory™ (OCI) is the most widely-used and thoroughly-researched tool for measuring organisational culture in the world. Numerous research studies utilising the OCI demonstrate the importance of measuring and managing culture. At the organisational level, the research shows a relationship between the Constructive culture styles measured by the OCI and outcomes including employee engagement, safety and reliability, successful merger integration, creativity, adaptability, and customer satisfaction. Similarly, at the societal-level, research underscores the importance of the Constructive styles and demonstrates a negative relationship between the Defensive culture styles and World Competitiveness.
The OCI provides organisations with a visual profile of their operating cultures (Current Culture) in terms of the behaviours that members believe are required to "fit in and meet expectations". Such expectations guide the way they approach their work and interact with each other. In turn, these behavioural norms have a significant impact on the organisation's ability to solve problems, adapt to change, and perform effectively.
OCI results are plotted on profiles that illustrate individual normative beliefs (when the perspective of only one member is considered) or the shared behavioural expectations that operate within the organisation and represent its culture (when the perspectives of multiple members are combined). Results are presented for 12 behavioural norms grouped into three types of cultures -Constructive, Passive/Defensive, and Aggressive/Defensive - on the Circumplex.
A special version of the OCI, the OCI-Ideal, provides leaders and organisations with a tool for quantifying, envisioning, and communicating their ideal or preferred organisational culture. Leaders and other members of the organisation answer questions to describe the types of behaviours (i.e. the culture) that would maximise effectiveness in their organisation. The end result is a picture of the organisation's Ideal Culture based on their shared values and beliefs. The Ideal Culture profile serves as the benchmark against which the actual organisational culture can be compared. Together, these profiles provide a visual gap analysis, targets for cultural change, and a foundation for identifying the appropriate levers for effecting this change.
Beyond measuring operating culture, the current form of the OCI assesses key outcomes: individual member satisfaction, intention to stay, role clarity and role conflict, and perceptions of the organisation's service quality.
Additional outcomes, plus levers for cultural change, can be assessed by running the OCI in tandem with the Organisational Effectiveness Inventory™ (OEI).
The OCI can be used for:

Please, please, please everyone ... don't go out to buy it! Normally of course we love you buying NZ Gardener but right now it's far more important that you stay home and stay safe. (You can buy a copy with your online shopping though! That's safe and I think we are all in the market for something uplifting to read right now).
In this issue we offered to send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who sent us a SSAE. Just to reassure you, we will still send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who is keen to participate. We are just not quite sure when! Ignore the dates in the magazine of when you needed to send the envelope in by - that has been indefinitely extended. But we cannot wait to send you the seed and for those flowers to bloom as by then we will be well through this or even have it behind us. And keep letting us know what you are sowing and growing, send in pictures of your harvest, your flowers or what you are sharing.
We always love hearing from NZ Gardener readers but now when we are all staying apart that connection means more than you can imagine. Stay home, stay safe and stay in touch everyone. For the most updated gardening advice, subscribe to our digital e-zine Get Growing, which will be delivered to your inbox completely free.

At-Home Fire Safety Checklist
With everyone staying home, it's now more important than ever for everyone to be fire-safe. People can find information on our website - fireandemergency.nz...
We're heading into winter, and with households self-isolating together, there'll be more cooking at home, and more use of open fires, heaters, and dryers - all things which can increase fire risk.
New Zealanders can be confident that Fire and Emergency is well-prepared and ready to respond to emergencies as usual during the nationwide self- isolation period.
Please call 111 if you have a fire, we will ask you whether anyone at the address is self-isolating or has a confirmed case of COVID-19. Where this is the case, we already have necessary measures in place to ensure everyone's safety including protective clothing, gloves, masks, safety glasses and mask.

ChrisHopf brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 92 Designs von 24 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are working on something so unique and of exceptional design that you will just have to tell someone.
Professional, high quality photography concept similar to your traditional photo booth, but with an exclusive break through design and cutting edge high tech capabilities.
Closest examples to what we do would be a cross between the below (please review both sites):
- http://baicapture.com/
- http://getthebooth.com/
Our company is clean, professional and high quality . . focused on enhancing our customers' events and making them more engaging, memorable and remarkable for their guests / participants.
To view our proto-type check out:
We will be entering an exisitng market, but one that lacks the high-end, professional approach that ProBooth has to offer.
Who would pay for ProBooth?
- Weddings: primarily women will be the decision makers here
- Birthdays, School & Family Reunions: primarily women will be decision makers
- Corporate Events / Trade Shows: women and corporate sales / marketing professionals who will easily see the value to differentiate their events and leverage photo-strips for promotions and offers
- Holiday Parties (e.g. - Halloween, Christmas, etc.)
- Grand Openings and Product Launches
- Industry Conferences (e.g. - SXSW, DEMO, DreamForce, E3, etc.)
- and so on
All of the above will be compelled to consider the most professional, highest quality option (ProBooth) . . . as they want their events to be a success, to be talked about, to be remembered as a great experience.
Must be clean, simple, crisp, clear and convey high-quality, professional, elegant, sophisticated and exceptional attention to design.
Height of the logo must be restricted. Do not have Pro above Booth. ProBooth must be one word. We are open to not capatilizing the "B" in booth (e.g. - Probooth). If a better name for our company comes to mind, feel free to pass it along (warning: this can be a time suck, so don't get too distracted with a better name, unless a brilliant option sticks out).
With the photography theme, some have the tendency to draw on their past observations of how similar companies displayed their brand. Careful here, there are a lot of hokey and corny photo related businesses out there and we are not one of them.
No pastels. Only Black and one other color. Also needs to display well in reverse, such as on a dark background.
We are open to a mark / icon of some sort to the left of the name. Preference is to somehow incorporate the unique identity within how the name is presented (again, must be clean, simple, crisp and clear).
While women are key decision makers, do not make it overly feminine.
Sure most think their logo request is a challenging one . . . this one could be pretty tricky . . . but you are a professional yourself and this is what you excel at. Thanks for your interest and kind submission. Much appreciated.

UH Manoa staffer selling her sole for energy savingsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Sustainability Communications Coordinator
This Saturday, Oct. 13, UH Mānoa staffer Olwen Huxley will swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a 26.2-mile marathon — all to SAVE energy! Huxley will race in the legendary Ironman World Championships at Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, and upon completing the event, will cash in more than $2,000 in pledges she has solicited for a campus energy-efficiency fund.
"Many athletes take the opportunity of a crowning event in their careers to raise money for a good cause," says Huxley. "I have decided to raise money for a UH Mānoa Campus Energy/Sustainability Fund.
"UH Mānoa has a $19 million electric bill, and has set the ambitious goal of reducing its use of electricity by 30% by 2012. Although much of this will be accomplished through large-scale mechanical projects, a significant part of this goal will involve work by students, faculty, and staff on small-scale changes that will increase campus energy efficiency — replacing light bulbs, treating windows with heat-blocking film, purchasing energy-efficient small appliances, and installing energy-generating and conserving technologies.
"My modest goal was to raise $1,500, which just to give you an idea, would pay for enough compact fluorescent light bulbs to save about $10,000 a year. I am accepting pledges of any amount. Please do not send any money until I have crossed the finish line!" she says.
Donations to the UHM Campus Energy/Sustainability Fund are tax-deductible. Proceeds will be awarded to applicants through a reviewed competition to ensure the quality and effectiveness of funded projects.
Huxley works at the Sea Grant College Program's Center for Smart Building and Community Design, supporting projects to enhance energy efficiency, green design, community-based planning, and transit-oriented development.
Prior to working at the University of Hawaii, she was a professional staffer on the Subcommittee on Environment, Technology, and Standards of the Science Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. Her work there included overseeing the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and developing policy on innovation and competitiveness. Before that, she was the Legislative Director of the House Northeast-Midwest Coalition, a bi-partisan informal congressional organization focusing on the economic prosperity and environmental quality of that region of the United States.
Huxley also has worked for the non-profit Northeast Midwest Institute, and as a policy analyst at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.
She has a BA in history of science from Harvard Radcliffe College, and an MA in environmental analysis from Boston University. She is a former member of the U.S. national rowing squad and now does triathlons "for fun."
Huxley qualified for Hawaii's Ironman World Championships by finishing fifth in her age group at the Florida Ironman in November, 2006, "successfully training through my wedding, moving to Hawaii with my new husband Ted, changing jobs, and numerous other impediments," she says. She has been competing in triathlons since 2000 and coaching triathletes since 2006. In 2003, she finished her first Ironman (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) at Lake Placid, and immediately was hooked. The Ironman World Championships will be her fifth Ironman distance race.
Huxley can be tracked on race day at www.ironmanlive.com.

A type of drug that increases the amount of water and salt expelled in the urine. Commonly called water pills, diuretics are often used to treat high blood pressure. As excess water and salt are removed from the body, the heart pumps less blood, and eventually more blood flows into the body's tissues. Both of these effects can help to lower blood pressure.
The advantages of diuretics are their low cost and their proven ability to decrease a person's risk of having a heart attack or stroke. On the downside, people who take diuretics often have to urinate frequently. Other common side effects include erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, muscle cramps, and fatigue. In people with diabetes, diuretics can cause short-term disruption in blood sugar control.
If you are experiencing troublesome side effects from your blood pressure medicine, consult your doctor. Often, there are other drugs you could be taking that don't cause these side effects.

Laughter Therapy with Aron Kader
Like a teenage groupie, I anticipated the latest comedy show of Aron Kader in Dubai.
The first time I saw Aron Kader was during the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour about four years ago, also in Dubai. That troupe included the likes of Ahmed Ahmed and his hilariously inappropriate jokes, as well as Moz Jabroni, from Iran: "I am Persian. Meow."
But the one who stood out to me was Aron Kader. Of course, I related to his family background (American Mom, Palestinian Dad). But really, it was his impersonations that pulled me in. He is the master of accents: Arab immigrant, American redneck, Australian, and more.
When I first saw him on stage, Aron came out telling jokes in heavily accented English. As he went on speaking like a Jordanian tour guide, I was thinking, Wait, isn't he supposed to be American? Finally, he switched to his regular American accent. Wow. He fooled me.
I appreciated his take on George Bush. Oh, how we needed a laugh during the Bush Years. Most vividly I remember his interpretation of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin in Palestine—examining the Palestinian people in their natural habitat: "They are very territorial."
So, Aron Kader was back in Dubai where he's been offering a Comedy Workshop via Dubomedy and performing along with other comedians. The show on April 1st marked the fourth anniversary of Dubomedy, a comedy and urban arts school in Dubai.
The unofficial theme of the night was cultural differences. To be honest, I love making fun of different cultures and nationalities (particularly Arabs). So, I was in the right place last night at the Centerpoint Theater at the Mall of the Emirates.
The host for the evening was Mina Liccione, an Italian-American comedienne from New York, based in Dubai. I saw her perform once before at an all-women comedy show on The Palm Island. Now she's newly married to fellow comedian Ali Al Sayed (both co-directors of Dubomedy). And as a member of a large Arab family, Mina has a wealth of new material, including Arab mother-in-law jokes: "We get along great. She doesn't speak English!"
The show also briefly featured two emerging comedians, Omar and Ray. Next up was Emirati Ali Al Sayed, who affectionately mocked other nationalities, with a special emphasis on Indians, Lebanese and Jordanians. His line about Jordanians: "The nicest rude people in the world."
And finally the headliner, Aron Kader. I was excited to see his new material.
He made fun of people who brag (more jokes about Lebanese). He explained why Arab houses are never haunted. (Arabs would invite the ghost to stay on as a houseguest.) Aron didn't miss a chance to impersonate George Bush (his signature shtick), as well as Barak Obama (naturally not as funny—what to do?)
For me, the funniest part was Aron recounting his visit to his Palestinian relatives in Palestine. He illustrated the "thin line between hospitality and being held hostage."
Oh, how I can relate.
Aron Kader is a comedian based in Hollywood, CA at the Comedy Store. He was the first person to formally teach comedy in the Middle East. He was one of the co-founders of the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour.
Question: Have you seen Aron Kader perform? Or any of the other Dubomedy or Axis of Evil comedians?

Mönchengladbach is a city that successfully combines urban sophistication with rural charm. Parks and woodland dominate this 'green city', but it is also known for its art and culture, with significant architectural monuments, a world-class museum and a vibrant theatre, variety and performing arts scene.
Alter Markt square, along with Kapuzinerplatz square and the minster, are the key historical features of Mönchengladbach. Today, Alter Markt is a modern, sweeping space adorned with details such as the temperature tower, the 'Man and Time' art installation and the 'square-round' fountain, while Kapuzinerplatz square features a remarkable sculpture by Heinz Mack. A market takes place here three times a week. In the evenings, crowds throng the cafés, bars and pubs. Waldhausener Strasse is the city's main party zone. The people of Mönchengladbach know how to have a good time and let their hair down. This is especially true during the carnival season.
The Shrove Tuesday procession is an old carnival custom that is typically Mönchengladbach. However, the city's cultural gem is the Abteiberg Museum, one of the most important German museums for fine art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Completed in 1982 to plans by Hans Hollein, a star of postmodernism, it is filled with works by Joseph Beuys, Richard Serra, Andy Warhol, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Martin Kippenberger, Markus Oehlen, Heinz Mack, Ulrich Rückriem and Gregor Schneider. Other fantastic but much older artistic treasures can be found in the Minster of St. Vitus, which was awarded the status of basilica minor by Pope Paul VI in 1974. They include significant examples of goldsmiths' work, wonderful manuscripts, a tablet inscribed with Germanic runes, a seal of Albertus Magnus and, stored in a gold-plated shrine, the cloth that is said to have been on the table at the Last Supper between Christ and his disciples. A trip to Mönchengladbach would not be complete without a visit to its two stately homes: Rheydt House, the beautifully preserved Renaissance palace, and Wickrath Palace, which is surrounded by a lake and romantic parklands close to the river Niers. The palatial home of the former stud manager now houses an elegant café and restaurant. After all, even the culturally minded need refreshment.

Miss D's New Orleans Pralines
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Sweet Auburn
After losing everything in Hurricane Katrina, Dionne moved here wanting to repay all of the kindness that was shown to her with her sweet skills. We're talkin' popcorn and pralines, made the old-fashioned way with fresh ingredients and lots of love.Popcorn-makin' is one of those things that, just because we can try it at home, doesn't mean we should. Unless, of course, we're willing to settle for something subpar. See, we went to Miss D's and now nothing will do but Dionne's expertly seasoned, creatively flavored varieties. Yes, the professional purveyor of popcorn and pralines at Miss D's New Orleans Pralines has a deep love for the treats, which she can trace back to her childhood. It all started when she decided that the store-bought pralines she loved as a little girl could be creamier. And more consistent. And so, for the next 25 years (we like to imagine some sort of cooking/praline laboratory montage here), she patiently tweaked her recipes to perfection. And after Hurricane Katrina sent Dionne to Atlanta, this sweet shop was born.
She arrived at Sweet Auburn Curb Market with not much more than a pot, a spoon and a heaping helping of faith that this was how she could repay all of the people who helped her back onto her feet. But if the currency of that payment was in hugs and delicious snacks, we're the ones indebted. Dionne comes into work everyday exuding a passion for popcorn and pralines that we've never seen the likes of before. If it's any indication, the woman has invented over 400 flavors of popcorn, including strawberry cheesecake, cheesy jalapeno (her favorite, so far) and cajun-fried pickle. And she's just getting started. Of course, there are the pralines, too, featuring flavors like pecan, almond and coconut, all made with love, the old-fashioned way. As one regular exclaimed, after sauntering up to Dionne's warm and friendly shop, "Man! This cheese popcorn is the bomb." We're inclined to agree.
Menu Highlights:
Popcorn, 2 for $6
Candy Apples, $2.69
Small Praline Bars, $2.39
Large Patties, $4.99
Praline Apple with Pecans, $7.99
Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Regulation change to close Neighbourhood Safer Places
A place of last resort for bushfire emergencies at Ventnor, on Phillip Island, will be shut down.
Under new Country Fire Authority (CFA) regulations, the town's Neighbourhood Safer Place at Ventnor Public Hall is no longer suitable for use.
The Bass Coast Shire will decommission the site and partially decommission the town's with the Neighbourhood Safer Place at Inverloch.
The shire's Antoinette Mitchell says the council will work with the CFA to find alterative site at Ventnor before the start of the official bushfire season in December.
"I mean the Country Fire Authority do a great job and we wouldn't want to leave the community anxious in any way, shape or form, so I'm sure that we'll have a resolution to both of those," she said.
"There's a standard which is pretty technical, of two kilowatts per metre squared and you're not allowed to have anything higher than that, and also grass from a neighbouring property needs to be 97 metres from the Neighbourhood Safer Place."

While I have been quite critical of the conclusions drawn by Ray, et al. before, I was even more surprised by the Drug Safety Communication for azithromycin issued by the FDA that basically said: "any time a patient has a bunch of conditions that are known to cause prolonged QT interval, be careful prescribing azithromycin." Such warnings, of course, should apply to any drug that could cause prolongation of QT interval, but for some unclear reason, the FDA felt they had to act in the case of azithromycin.
Now it seems the FDA doing a softshoe on their earlier warning regarding azithromycin, trying to justify their warning that was based on retrospective data-mining techniques drawn from diagnosis and treatment codes, not randomized trials.
In a perspective piece from Andrew D. Mosholder et al, from the FDA that accompanied the report from Svanstrom et al, the authors acknowedge the many limitations of the original study by Ray et al.:
"The study by Ray et al. has limitations that are intrinsic to obervational, nonrandomized clinical studies. In particular, nonrandomized studies cannot exclude the possibility that patients receiving a drug under evaluation differ from the control patients in some important but undetected way, causing bias in the results. Such confounding may bias comparisons not only between patients receiving antibacterial drugs and those receiving no antibacterials but also between patients receiving different antibacterials."Yet in the very next paragraph of the FDA member's perspective piece, they persist in their indifference to their prior statement regarding the bias inherent to Ray et al.'s report and decide to focus on timing:
"Despite these caveats, the results presented by Ray et al. warrant serious attention. A chief strength of the study is the time-limited pattern of the risk: the azithromycin-associated increase in rates of death from any cause and from cardiovascular causes spanned days 1 through 5, reflecting the typical 5-day duration of azithromycin administration (e.g., Zithromax Z-pak)."The FDA authors refuse to believe that there could be any other confounding variables that might have occurred in the first five days of hospitalization that lead to the increased cardiovascular risk seen in their azithromycin-treated group. It is more important, I guess, to support retrospective data-mining and statistical data manipulation of diagnosis and procedure codes. This, you see, they must support. Big Data in our new era of expanded codes and computers is to be our new saving grace, you see.
Fortunately, I think the FDA folks mean well: they give us salient advice in their final paragraphs of their perspective piece explaining their mistake. Things like "Clinicians must consider the arrhythmogenic potential not only of azithromycin but also of potential alternative antibacterial drugs." and "The risks and benefits of antibacterial therapy should be considered in prescribing decisions."
No kidding.
But we will not see a black box warning retracted - that would be too obvious. Nor will we see extensive news coverage about these new findings regarding this antibiotic's cardiovascular safety - that doesn't grab the main stream media's attention.
What we have, instead, is something much more concerning to me when the members of our own FDA make claims based on poor data: irrelevance.
Publishing warnings on QT prolongation that should apply to any drug administered to the patient that is older, bradycardic, with low potassium or magnesium levels, or already on known drugs that can cause prolonged QT - generates irrelevant noise for doctors. Like the Boy Who Cried Wolf, we risk compromising the FDA's relevance to patient safety. When they spend time on retrospective data-mining exercises that find risks in the neighborhood of 1 in 100,000, they risk failing to report important deaths related to new technologies with an incidence of at least 3 in 16,000 that reside in their own MAUDE database.
In today's internet age, doctors don't need any more Big Data-driven safety noise, we need razor-sharp analytic safety focus.

Student or Learner
hey, just been wondering - is there a word,
for one who talks way too much, & pretty much rubbish?
i know we have it in hebrew,
just wanted to know if theres one in english (L)
thank you very much in advance xx
chatterbox ( this incorporates your two essential criteria: incessant talk + talking boring trivia)
'windbag' is less relevant :a person who talks at length but says little of value.
'gasbag': a person who talks too much, typically about unimportant things.
Note re 'blabbermouth' : there is the implied reference to 'talking too much' because they have obviously said 'too much' and revealed some information that should not have done. A person who talks carelessly, often telling secrets to other people.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issues new restrictions intended to protect the delta smelt and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta
Federal wildlife officials released new restrictions on pumping water from Northern California on Dec. 15, further tightening the flows to Southern California cities and San Joaquin Valley farms, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The restrictions are intended to protect the tiny delta smelt from extinction and stem the ecological collapse of California's water crossroads, but could eventually cut state water deliveries by half.
The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta is the smelt's only home, and a major source of water for many Californians. The cutbacks will vary depending on conditions in the delta.
The smelt protections will typical slash California State Water Project deliveries 20% to 30% per year—essentially maintaining the level of cuts ordered this year by a federal judge. But under the worst conditions, deliveries could be cut 50%.
According to Snow, the federal action placed too much of the blame for the smelt's problems on the huge delta pumps that send water south, the newspaper reported.
Other conditions such as chemical contamination, invasive species, power plant operations and climate are all hurting the delta, state water resources director Lester Snow said.
Pumping has altered the hydrology and salinity of the delta, federal scientists say, and as a result, its suitability as a wildlife habitat. Also, the pumps can be so powerful that they reverse delta water flows, carrying fish to the pumps.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a new biological opinion, containing the restrictions. The 410-page document deals with the operation of California's two biggest water systems, the federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project.
"This is a major new reduction in water deliveries that will impact families, businesses and farmers throughout California," said Laura King Moon, assistant general manager of the State Water Contractors.
"We need to make a fundamental change in how we see and use water," said Doug Obegi, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the groups that filed the smelt lawsuit. "There are a ton more opportunities in water conservation, improved groundwater management, water recycling and design that captures storm water."

EPA to Recognize Washington University in St. Louis for Recycling and Food Recovery Programs on Wednesday, May 21
Release Date: 05/20/2014
Contact Information: EPA Region 7 - Kris Lancaster, 913-551-7557, email@example.com; Washington University - Neil Schoenherr, 314-935-5235, email@example.com
Environmental News
(Lenexa, Kan., May 20, 2014) - An EPA Region 7 representative will be in St. Louis, Mo., on Wednesday, May 21, to officially recognize Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) for reducing its volume of solid waste and to view first-hand its innovative recycling and food recovery programs.
WUSTL Dining Services' compost efforts have diverted 317 tons of food waste from landfills since 2011. When this food decomposes in landfills, it becomes a significant source of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas and affects climate change, including warmer temperatures, stronger storms and more droughts. WUSTL is helping to cut greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and affect public health.
A certificate presentation and media tour of Washington University recycling areas, at Bear's Den, South 40 House, 6515 Wydown Blvd., will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21.
WHO: John Smith, EPA Region 7 Deputy Director of the Air and Waste Management Division, and Phil Valko, WUSTL's Director of Sustainability
WHAT: John Smith will present a certificate and join WUSTL officials for a walking tour of the university's recycling areas.
WHERE: WUSTL Dining Services, Bear's Den, South 40 House, 6515 Wydown Blvd., St. Louis, Mo. 63105. News media may park in the Wallace Garage. Map of Danforth Campus (South 40 House is #106 on the map. Wallace Parking Garage is #87.)
WHEN: 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., May 21, 2014
Visuals - Certificate presentation; kitchen staff engaging in sustainable-food recovery practices; biodiesel tank; food pulper; and tour of recycling areas.
WUSTL Dining Services food waste is taken to St. Louis Composting where the waste is mixed and converted into compost. The university then reuses the compost from St. Louis Composting on campus grounds. Dining Services uses cage-free eggs, many locally grown foods, 100 percent recycled napkins, compostable to-go containers, and practices organic composting. The university also features bulk condiments and a "Choose Reusables" program that features a reusable to-go box program.
WUSTL has recycled more than 23,000 gallons of kitchen waste oil into biodiesel to fuel campus delivery trucks. The fat to fuel process recovers energy and recycles waste oils.
WUSTL was the first university in North America to eliminate the sale of bottled water on its grounds. WUSTL's ban eliminates 386,000 bottles and saves 15,000 gallons of oil each year. Newly installed water fountain retrofits make refilling reusable water bottles fast and convenient.
WUSTL Dining Services has significantly reduced the amount of overall food waste produced (pre- and post-production) by streamlining ordering and production procedures. However, when available, the university donates leftover packaged foods to Campus Kitchens, which repurposes the food into meals for shelters and groups in the community.
WUSTL recently joined EPA's Food Recovery Challenge (FRC), a national initiative aimed at encouraging organizations to find better alternatives to throwing food away. It helps organizations learn to practice leaner purchasing and divert surplus food away from landfills to hunger-relief organizations and onto the tables of those in need in the community. It also diverts food scraps, suitable for composting or animal consumption, to composting or animal feed.
There are 18 other member organizations participating in FRC in Region 7: Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Luther College, Decorah, Iowa; Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, Mo.; Northwest Missouri State University, Maryville, Mo.; Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, Kan.; St Louis University, St. Louis, Mo.; Truman State University, Kirksville, Mo.; University of Iowa-Iowa City; Kansas City Chiefs; St. Louis Cardinals; Kansas State University; St. Louis Blues Hockey; University of Kansas; University of Missouri-Columbia; University of Missouri-Kansas City; University of Northern Iowa; Society of St. Andrew; and Harvest Café and Wine Bar.

Here's a game I think the kids will enjoy to review the
High Frequency Words from Reading Street Units 2-6 and 3-1.
Print and cut apart the snowflake pages for each student in the group.
Each child should have ½ a sheet of paper with a snowflake.
Print the High Frequency Words on cardstock, laminate, cut out, and store in an Altoid tin or baggie. You may wish to have more than one card of each word.
Each student needs a crayon.
Shuffle the cards and place face down.
Reader(teacher) takes the top card, reads the HFW on the card and uses the word in a sentence without the other players being able to see the word.
Players search their snowflakes for the word, point to the word on their paper as they call out "Crystal". They must be able to read the word they are pointing at before they can claim the snowflake crystal with this printed word.
If they are correct, they may color the snowflake space on their page.
Play continues with Reader calling out words and players calling out "Crystal" to color in their spaces. Winner is the person with the most snowflake crystals colored at the end of the time period.
Download the game HERE.
Let me know what you think...any suggestions for changing it up?

For her entry, Etiquette. Your piece was creative, and I REALLY enjoyed reading it! You've earned 10 bonus points for Team Forest! Great job!
Challenge Two Prompts:

"Be quiet! I'm trying to crack this safe."
Right now, Team Forest is in the lead. C'mon Team Summer and Team Meadows! You need to up your game!!! I know you can do it!
I am going to be away for a few days starting tomorrow (Monday) and won't be available till the 13th, so there may not be a winner for this second challenge if I don't get the chance to read all your wonderful stories.
I feel like 6 days to write your story was too much time, so you have until the 12th at midnight to submit your story.
Since I will be away, please put the link in the comments, along with the number of prompts, if you used your team name, and the total number of points for everything. That way, if I don't get the chance to read all your stories, I can look at the comments and add all the points up easily. And if you do this it, your entry won't be missed. 🙂 Thanks so much! 😀
If I missed your name, please let me know so I can fix it.
Good luck to all the teams and have fun! 😀

Smile! God loves you.

> In Bloom Wedding Invitation
A gorgeous, eye-catching wedding invitation with hand-painted details. Printed on thick natural white matte paper. Size 127 x 178mm (5x7").
If your ceremony is taking place in a church or other religious venue, it is appropriate to use the phrase "request the honour of your presence." For non-religious venues, common phrases include "request the pleasure of your company" or "invite you to share in the joy."
If both the bride's and the groom's parents are hosting the wedding, the bride's parents should be listed first.
Both sets of parents are hosting
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Roberts
Mr. and Mrs. Brian Thomas
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their children
Sarah Katherine Roberts
Matthew James Thomas
Bride's parents are hosting
at the marriage of their daughter
Sarah Katherine
Mr. Matthew James Thomas
Groom's parents are hosting
at the marriage of
to their son
If the wedding is hosted by a divorced set of parents, list the woman's name on the first line and the man's name below. Do not use the word "and," which signifies that the man and woman are married.
Mrs. Michelle Roberts
Mr. Jonathan Roberts
If the bride and groom are hosting the wedding themselves, they may choose to include the bride's parents names or they may use the phrase "Together with their parents."
For less formal weddings hosted by the bride and groom, some couples may choose to omit their parents' names on the wedding invitations.
request the pleasure of your company
as they unite in marriage
You can request changes to the text colour, design elements and background for free. Please note that some of our cards have painted details and the colours cannot be customised.
Any additional wording changes can be entered into this section. For example; requesting that we add your website domain to your invitation.
Do not include registry information or any mention of gifts (even to ask guests not to bring gifts) anywhere in your wedding invitation. It is fine to include registry information on your wedding website, if you have one, or to ask relatives and friends to spread the word.
