Before we had our big kid teeth, we all had little milk teeth. Maybe you remember losing one and hiding it under your pillow for the tooth fairy? Maybe this thought dawned on you: If your baby teeth just fall out, are they really important? The answer is a resounding, YES! Even though your child's teeth may be ready to fall out, they definitely serve a purpose.
- You can Practice Good Dental Habits
When adults do not take care of their teeth what happens? They decay and cause painful and expensive problems for oral hygiene. Learning good habits as early will save your children the trouble of dental problems later.
- They Reserve Space for Adult Teeth
The spaces that baby teeth leave in the gums and along the jawbone are where your adult teeth will form. These teeth must stay healthy in order to assure that your child's permanent teeth grow where they are supposed to.
- Practice Chewing and Eating Healthy foods.
It goes without saying that a child without healthy teeth cannot eat broccoli very well. Having healthy teeth is important so that your child can learn to eat and enjoy healthier foods like fruits and vegetables without any pain. On top of that, your child can learn to chew certain foods properly. It might be just instinct to you, but there are certain foods that need to be chewed with your molars or your font teeth for instance.
- Develop Strong Jaw Muscles
Exercise makes you strong, and your jaws don't get strong without exercise just like the rest of you! Did you know that you bite is about as strong as a gorilla's? It doesn't get that way without work. If you think about it, you work for years to build up your strength. Imagine how strong gum chewer's mouths are…
- It Helps to Develop Good Speaking Skills
Try saying "That Thistle Thought Thirty Thumps" (five times fast?) you can't do that without your teeth! Poor dental habits can cause speech problems for your children that may be hard to fix later on down the road.
So, just because your child's teeth will fallout and be replaced does not mean that you can neglect them. Every process that we go through as children is to prepare us for adulthood. From learning to walk to learning to read, there is work and practice involved. The same is true with your child's teeth. If you are unsure as to what exactly you must do to keep your children's oral health in tip top shape, just give us a call and you can talk to one of our great dentists to help steer you in the right direction!

Where Are They Now: Windsor Healthcare Communities
Windsor Healthcare Communities
The Windsor Garden Care Center's Bronze Award in the High Tech/High Touch category of the McKnight's Technology Awards in 2013 reflected the burgeoning use of video.
Windsor Garden collaborated to create a workout video via YouTube, while a sister facility, Canterbury Care & Rehabilitation Center, received a certificate of merit for developing the Canterbury News Network, posted on YouTube.
Since 2013, new productions have included a dance video and the "Pink Glove" video for cancer awareness, says Patty Brush, who left Windsor Garden in 2013 and is now the life enrichment director at sister facility Venetian Care & Rehabilitation Center in New Jersey.
The buildings currently collaborate on a news show. Each group contributes a snippet — The Venetian's is cooking. Regional director Ricky Pena combines it all after a full day of filming,
"It brings everybody together," Brush says. "We really enjoy watching our buildings in the video."
"We are all working toward that Eden Alternative philosophy," she adds. "The videos give the elders something to look forward to."
She says the videos were originally the idea of elders. Now, "it's a tradition."
"When you tell the elders, they're right there and into it," she notes.

Well, it took me a year, but I finally got my wedding "album" made! I decided early on that I didn't really want to do an album of wedding pictures. Not in the traditional sense, anyway. I would have slaved for days on layouts that went into an album that you couldn't see unless you sit down to flip through it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I really loved the idea of being able to see those memories all the time. And let's face it, our walls are still pretty blank.
In comes the $10 printer's tray I got at an estate sale.
With a little elbow grease and some time it turned into something that now hangs on the living room wall, that I will treasure forever.
It has a life span - I mean, it's paper and glue - it's not going to hold up forever. But it'll grace our walls for a few years until it's time to replace it with something else, and then the photos of it will be a part of our family album.
Here's some closeups:
I started by cutting my base papers and gluing them into each box
Then I went through my stash and organized my embellishments into their individual boxes.
Here's a little process shot of the organization process.
And the finished product:
So there it is!
Happy Scrappin'!

Fred and his family had gone for a holiday to New York. Fred's toys were in is room. The special thing about these was that they got alive when no human was watching them. It was Christmas. All toys were scattered in the room. Some toys were watching TV, playing video games. Suddenly Doon, a cowboy toy who had the habit of getting agitated often, said, "ENOUGH!!! This day is such a special day but we are just playing disgusting games. As we are toys we cannot even conduct parties like humans do. Humans are given freedom to do anything like conducting parties, breaking we poor toys and doing other stuff which we cannot do." Doon wanted to show his political knowledge to everyone. He said "WE WANT JUSTICE!!! We must write a justice letter to the president of United States of America who can't hear our toy's voice. All the toys started chanting" WE WANT JUSTICE! WE WANT JUSTICE! WE WANT JUSTICE!" Annie who was Doon's sister said " Let us conduct a New Year Party at our own skill! It will be fun.
Mr. iOS Apple genius who was an ex- computer engineer and was now the king of the toy kingdom said" I agree with Annie's idea and it is much better than Doon's idea. Teddy said" Can I mastermind the party?" All the toys agreed.
After a few days Teddy started the preparations . He asked a few magicians toys to make food for the party. All the toys decorated the room. At 11:00pm their party started. All the toys sang and danced. Doon smiled and exclaimed" I did not expect for so much freedom!" All the toys were enjoying and forgetting about their worries for once. When it was time for food all the toys loved it. Some toys liked the food a lot that they jumped into their bowls. The ice cream tasted as if you were in heaven. Then there were some competitions. Then some toys showed their old written creative stories which Mr.iOS Apple Genius had posted to the Zealot Readers website. The environment was for once filled with joy and happiness. Then at 12:00 am all felt tired and went for a sleep. Then the next morning when the woke up they cleaned the room and all appreciated the leadership of Teddy who brought wonders to the party.
I wish I was in the party too!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Renee : What a fun image of toys having a party. I was very glad to see that they cleaned up their mess before the people in the house woke up! Your addition of a political reference was new and refreshing for a young audience. I think they should have gone ahead with their letter. Then when the Presidential permission came back to be free, the toys would have much reason to celebrate. Overall, this is a great story with many different levels of interest.
Sandhya : Lovely! Loved the 'Mr iOS Apple genius' who is 'now the king of the toy kingdom'! And ice cream indeed tastes as if you were in heaven – I agree completely with you. If I were a toy, I would have loved to come for this party. The stories written by the toys on Zealot Readers is a nice touch.
Well written. Maybe you should do a little more of editing to have a better flow to the narrative. Keep reading and writing.
Neha : Reads like a toy version of Animal Farm. The story has a good conclusion. The plot is not too well developed as in why did they want justice, for what? I liked the characterization specially the Mr.iOS Apple Genius.
The premise of a party is not well developed; from a mini revolution to a party is somewhat unbelievable downturn.
Its free of errors except usage of 'the 'instead of they: possibly a typo.
A fair attempt

How to Stay Fit While Travelling (Paleo, Fitness)/
Happy weekend everyone! How was your week? Do you have anything exciting going on this weekend? I hope so!
I have something a little different for you today. We are going to take a break from eating for a moment and talk about something that is also near and dear to my heart - fitness!
I don't talk about fitness very often here on the blog. But this is something that is extremely important to me. Even when I am travelling. Travelling, while fun, can also be stressful and the best way I find to relieve some stress is to sweat it out! Anyone else agree? My mind is never more clear than after a good workout. But I realize that staying fit while travelling can be a challenge so I thought I would share my tips for staying in shape while you are on the road, the things I pack to help me stay in shape, and some of the workouts I did when I was in Boston a couple weeks ago to give you some inspiration for your next adventure.
1. Pack the Essentials
My first tip is to pack a few essential fitness items that you can use anywhere. Now the key to packing fitness items is that they need to be light! If you are like me your suitcase is always skirting that 50lb weight limit so you don't want your fitness essentials to be the items that put you over. My first recommendation is to pack a good pair of running shoes. Now when I am at home I have different shoes for different workouts. I rely on my Mizuno Wave Riders for running and my Nike Free Tr's for interval or cross fit type workouts. But I realize that packing two pairs of running shoes is ridiculous so I usually only pack my Mizuno's when I am travelling.
The next item I always pack is a skipping rope. Skipping is one of my favourite types of cardio. Nothing gets my heart racing quite like a great set of double unders. I have tried many different types of skipping ropes. My current favourite is this one which can be found on Amazon. There are so many exercises you can do with a skipping rope so don't be scared to change it up: high knees, cross overs, double unders, slow skips, single legs… changing up your routine will ensure you don't get bored! If you have no idea what I am talking about I recommend this book to get you started.
Next to go in my suitcase is a resistance band. Bands are a great way to get some strength training in while you are traveling. There are so many exercises you can do with a resistance band, and the great thing is that they come in different strengths, so as you get stronger you can progress from very light to very heavy resistance.
The most recent addition to my travelling fitness essentials are Gliding Discs. Don't laugh, but I actually saw these being used by various Victoria Secret models in preparation for the Victoria Secret Fashion Show so I decided to give them a try. And although the exercises look easy and you wouldn't think they would be that effective they really are! These are a great way to target the little muscles in your legs and glutes (ie. bum) that can be difficult areas to train. I was surprised at how sore my legs were the first time I used these. You can get them for carpet or for hardwood surfaces and both can be found on Amazon. For my Canadian readers I actually bought mine on ebay since Amazon wouldn't ship these to Canada so that is another place to check.
The last item that I can't workout without is a stop watch. I do a lot of interval workouts and timed exercises so I would't be able to survive without a timer of some sort. I use a sports wrist watch for this purpose. There are a ton out there and you can find very cheap options at places like Target, Wal Mart or on Amazon.
2. Walk
Yes walk. A pretty simple suggestion don't you think? I rarely rent a car when I travel for conferences so I end up walking almost everywhere. Not only is this a great way to add some exercise to your day, but it is also a great way to explore the city you are visiting. If we think back to our caveman ancestors they did not have the convenience of cars, buses, trains or bikes to get them around. They relied on their own two legs. And if the whole goal of the paleo or primal lifestyle is to emulate how our ancestors treated their bodies, walking is one simple way to get back to your caveman roots. Pack a comfortable pair of walking shoes, stick a few Epic Bars in your bag (or another paleo snack of choice) in case you get hungry and get out there!
3. Plan a few Workouts
As promised I wanted to give you a peak into the workouts I did when I was away. If you want to keep things as stress free as possible you can plan a few workouts before you leave. I often just listen to my body and what it wants that day when it comes to exercise but if you are new to fitness I realize that can be a challenge. You will noticed that most of these workouts take less than 30 minutes so they are very easy to incorporate into your busy days.

Please use this subforum to ask and answer all the technical questions related to fansubbing.
The main Fansubbing forum used to serve this purpose, but it's since become so overrun with other (relevant) topics that the technical fansubbing tutorials and quides it used to have have flooded off the pages. This subforum will serve as a new home for those questions. Consider it a Tech Support forum specifically for the problems unique to fansubbing.
Hopefully, our more experienced fansubbers can help out new individuals answer those questions ranging from the general (e.g. how to organize a group, what program to use) to very specific questions (e.g. how to translate a particular line, fansubbing software technical help). Tutorials are also very welcome. If you've got one you'd liket o share, by all means do!
Please remember that this forum is not intended for recruitment. We have a forum for that already.
I've been meaning to do this for awhile now, but just got around to starting it today. In the upcoming weeks, I'll try to consolidate and update information, please excuse the clutter. ^_^;
...and just to put it out there, I am more than open to anybody who wants to help...

Why you should also ask your monthly donors for onetime cash gifts
See below the results of a 12 month cohort test with one of our clients. We split test two groups, the group entitled included received cash appeals throughout the course of the year, the group entitled excluded, did not.
The upshot?
The attrition rates were almost identical - those who received appeals had a lower attrition (Although not statistically different), but disproves the first suspicion people have that mailing appeals to monthly donors will tick them off. Wrong.
Note the figures are in HKD. 1 HKD equals around 0.12 USD.
You'll then see that by including - and asking - the test group for onetime cash gifts, this group generated around $1.2 HKD in additional income - that's almost $100,000 USD. Not bad, huh?
So what?
Mail your monthlies, and ask them for cash (ensuring you don't forget to give them great donor care in between asks). But before you go on, note there are some exceptions to this. Namely that younger audiences (specifically street and sometimes TV recruited) don't respond to cash requests well and I'd suggest testing within these groups, should the volumes allow.
Rock on again monthly donors...

Hi Jonathon
Quick question. The attrition rates of 8.3 to 8.5% are pretty low. Was this cohort group made up of longer term RG, signed up 25 - 36 months ago perhaps? If so what are are thoughts on asking newer RG for cash. Would you give them 6 or twelve months to settle into the program, or hit them up at the very next available opportunity?

Hi John
It was a mixture, which included a chunk of DM recruits/phone converts so about average year on year attrition for that group.
The short answer is test (if volumes allow). Our experience is if they have enough great donor care early days - quick and proper thanking, feeding back, reaffirming decision made - then you can go back quickly with a cash request.
But testing this is the way to go. I'd suggest probably 6-8 weeks after sign up to monthly/RG is around the right time to ask for next cash gift.

Nutrition Diet and Weight Issues among Children and Adolescents - How Many Children And Teens Are Overweight?, Why Are So Many Children And Teens Overweight?, Health Risks And Consequences
bmi age body figure
One of the most disturbing observations about overweight and obesity in the United States is the epidemic of super-sized kids. A survey of adolescents in thirteen European countries, the United States, and Israel found that the United States, followed by Greece and Portugal, had the highest percentage of overweight teens (Inge Lissau, et al., "Body Mass Index and Overweight in Adolescents in 13 European Countries, Israel, and the United States" Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, vol. 158, no. 1, January 2004). In 2004 twice as many American children and adolescents are seriously overweight than were overweight just twenty-five years ago. While there is no generally accepted definition for obesity as distinct from overweight in children and adolescents, the percentage of children who are overweight has more than tripled (from 4 to 13 percent) and the prevalence of overweight among adolescents has almost tripled (from 5 to 14 percent) since the 1960s. (See Figure 4.1.)
With children and teens as well as adults, body mass index (BMI; a formula describing the relationship between height and weight) is used to determine underweight, overweight, and at risk for overweight. Children's body fatness changes over the years as they grow, and girls and boys differ in their body fatness as they mature. In light of these differences, BMI for children (also referred to as BMI-for-age) is gender and age-specific. For example, Table 4.1 shows the BMI of a boy as he ages from two to thirteen years of age, with a typical decline in BMI during the preschool years and subsequent increases. Despite changing BMI with age, the boy in this example remains in the 95th percentile—at the cut-off point for overweight.
Overweight is defined as at or above the age- and gender-specific 95th percentile on the body mass index. Still, even children at the 85th percentile are considered at risk for overweight- and obesity-induced illness and overweight throughout their adult lives. Figure 4.2 shows BMI-for-age percentiles for boys aged two to twenty, and

Figure 4.3 shows the comparable sex- and age-specific BMI percentiles for girls aged two to twenty.
Overweight children are much more likely to become overweight adults—an estimated 30 percent of adult obesity begins in childhood—unless they adopt and maintain healthier patterns of eating and exercise. Like adults, children and adolescents are eating more than ever and exercising less. Although the link between obesity and disease in adolescence is weaker than it is for obese adults, teens who are overweight are at high risk of health problems later in life, and 50 to 80 percent of obese teens become obese adults. Type 2 diabetes, high blood lipid levels, and hypertension (high blood pressure) occur with increased frequency among overweight youth. Overweight

children and teens are also at risk for psychosocial problems ranging from teasing and ostracism to social isolation and discrimination.

> About Cambodia
Cambodia is home to the magnificent Temples of Ankgor, whose very name conjures up images of jungle temples, Asian mysticism and exotic Hindu influence architecture.

I'll be honest, I found this in the commissary in the value aisle. It was only a dollar! ONE dollar! I was feeling festive (did I mention we had a Thanksgiving Luncheon this week at work?) and when I saw this I knew I had to try this charming little package of cookie mix out.
Now usually, I'm more a fan of baking from scratch, but could you blame me? It was one dollar 🙂 It may as well have been free ninety-nine. Catch my drift?
- One package of Betty Crocker's Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp. water
- 1 egg
- Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine contents of package with softened butter, water, and egg
- Line a baking sheet with parchment (for easy clean up). Drop a spoonful of dough onto sheet. Place approximately 2 inches between each spoonful of dough
- Bake 11-13 minutes or until edges are set. Cool completely. For an extra flair of flavor, smear the top with cinnamon frosting. Yum!

PAs Are In Demand Today As We Demands Lower Cost Healthcare
Physician assistants are in high demand and play a vital role in healthcare.Their employment should grow faster than other occupations. We will see an expansion especially in rural areas and the center of the city. Between 2008 and 2018, it is estimated that the use of PAs will grow about 40 percent. This increase has to do with the focus on reducing costs and PAs are less expensive then doctors.
PAs practice under the supervision of a physician or a surgeon. They have been trained to provide health care services similar to that of a doctor such as checking a patient, history taking, ordering tests, interpreting test results and make diagnoses. PAs also perform procedures such as casting and suturing wounds. They prescribe medications and manage other clinical staff. It is not uncommon to have a solo PA working in an institution downtown or rural setting.
A PA typically completes their studies in 2 years. They are taught subjects such as human anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and biochemistry. They are required to undergo a supervised clinical training as well.
After graduation, PAs are required to be licensed in their respective state. After receiving their license, they must earn 100 hours of continuing medical education courses every two years to maintain their license.
We will see the primary care field expand fastest. Also, PAs will be assisting with more medical procedures. This conveniently allows facilities to provide the same care but at a more reasonable cost.
Physician Assistants had close to 74,800 jobs, as reported in 2008. Over half of these jobs are in private medical practices. More than 20 percent are public or private hospitals. The average annual salary of a PA is about $ 81,230 in 2008. The highest earners were employed in hospitals. The lowest incomes came from colleges or universities.
A PA should have a desire for helping patients and to be self-motivating. They should be able to think quickly, be able to stay calm, and offer a nice bed side manner to patients. Additionally, they must life long learners, as this career requires that they earn many hours of education each year in order to maintain their license. Also, a PA should be caring and compassionate in order to provide the highest quality care to patients.
Physician assistants are in high demand and we will see more physician assistants in our healthcare facilities. The employment opportunities will increase. Job responsibilities will include more procedures then is now included, and the scope of employment will grow. A PA is a great career.
As our society demands cost-effective healthcare, physician assistant jobs are in demand. Let us tell you more about PA jobs right now.

5. Keep your resume up-to-date.
6. Be intentional about improving your personal character.
And finally, Google yourself to see what comes up! That's right. I "googled" myself several years ago and was only listed 3 times in very obscure articles and websites. Totally harmless. Now my name is all over the place and some of the information is outdated and incorrect. Fortunately, there is nothing embarrassing or incriminating. More and more companies are requiring their HR people to research job candidates online, and though it may seem a violation of our privacy and our rights, the things they're finding could affect your ability to get or keep a job.
- If you are on social sites like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, make sure your profile pictures and biographical information are correct and current. If you have questionable photos, posts or friends, remove them. If your pages contain things you wouldn't want your kids or your mom to see, you definitely don't want it there for employers to see!
- Ask current or former co-workers and supervisors to provide recommendations on LinkedIn.
- If you find your online reputation to be seriously troubling you may want to enroll the help of a reputation management company like ReputationDefender.
Still think all of this stuff is just a passing fad that will go away with time and have no real impact on the way we do business/ Consider this: The Library of Congress will be acquiring and permanently storing the entire archive of public Twitter posts since 2006. It's not going away!

Nurse Practitioner Practices Wilderness Medicine
My brother-in-law was riding his All-Terrain-Vehicle a few years ago in the hot Southern California desert just outside of Palm Springs when he remembers hitting a bump in the dirt road he was on. His next memory was waking up in the hospital. Lucky for him, the racing dunes are not too far from the Interstate 10 freeway, which means relatively easy and quick access to nearby hospitals. His friends loaded him into the back of their truck and sped off to the hospital where he was cared for and released with a lot of bruising. It certainly could have been a different scenario, especially if he had been hundreds of miles from the nearest emergency room

Midlevel Providers Fill Primary Care Doctor's Shoes
August 27, 2010 From NPR
Increasingly, the doctor is not in when it comes to delivering primary care. But the nurse practitioner or physician assistant is often taking the doctor's place.
"We are ideally suited for it. And it's so cost-effective compared to any other form of medical provider," says Jim Love, a physician assistant from rural Pittsfield, Maine. "We need to be educating a lot more of us."
Michael McDonald, the primary care physician who supervises Love from 25 miles up the road in Dexter, Maine, agrees.

Nurse Practitioners Want More Independence
Some of David Jones' patients call him Dr. David, but he's not an M.D.
Jones is a nurse practitioner, one of many who practice in Alabama, meeting with patients, diagnosing their health problems, running tests and writing prescriptions. For some of his patients, he's a lifesaver.
Take Ruby Lamar, a patient at the Capstone Rural Health Center in Walker County where Jones works. The unemployed, uninsured 61-year-old hadn't sought medical care since her daughter was born in 1986, but this summer she got such bad bronchitis she couldn't sleep at night. So she came in for treatment and recently returned for a checkup, during which Jones also checked a lump she recently found in her arm.
"They're real nice. You can't get any better than here," Lamar said. "They take the time to talk to you and ask you how you're doing."
Some health experts say the nurse-run care Jones provides is the future of medicine in this country. Last month, the Institute of Medicine issued a 500-plus-page report saying that advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners, are a critical part of health reform and should be used to their full potential, especially in rural areas where there's a shortage of primary care doctors.
"The need is here, seriously," said Jones, whose federally funded clinic sees about 2,000 patients a year, most of them poor, from Winston, Walker, Tuscaloosa and western Jefferson counties.
But nursing advocates say Alabama's restrictions on nurse practitioners, which are among the tightest in the country, are hindering residents' access to care. Despite the national push to expand nurses' role, efforts to loosen some of the regulations here have failed to get traction in the state Legislature.
"The problem is that nurse practitioner law as it is now really limits the quality of care in Alabama," said Leigh Ann Poole, who chairs the family nurse practitioner program at Samford University's Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing. "We have a great need for increased numbers of providers who can provide primary care to patients in Alabama, both in the urban and rural areas, and nurse practitioners can be a solution to that problem. But because of the restrictive practice act, we are limited in how far we can go to help our patients."
They're hoping that changes soon: A task force convened at the request of now Gov.elect Robert Bentley recommended in 2004 that more nurse practitioners should be trained in and recruited to Alabama and the state's rules governing collaborative practices between doctors and nurse practitioners should be modified.
Alabama's restrictions
Certified registered nurse practitioners, or CRNPs, are registered nurses who get a graduate degree in a nurse practitioner program and national certification. In Alabama, they are then required to work under a collaborative practice agreement with a physician. Many serve in hospitals, clinics and private offices, sharing patients with physicians. But others work on their own, in which case they have to have a doctor visit at least 10 percent of the time and review at least 10 percent of their patient charts.
Other states have a broad range of requirements, from Arizona and Iowa, which allow nurse practitioners to work independently, to Oklahoma, which requires that every two full-time nurse practitioners have a physician overseeing them.
Alabama is the only state besides Florida where CRNPs can't prescribe controlled substances, which means that although they can write prescriptions for antibiotics and other medications, they can't dole out pain drugs, many antidepressants and even some antidiarrheal or cough medicines. If their patients need those medications, the nurse practitioners must consult with their collaborating physician, who then writes a prescription.
That can be frustrating when it comes to treating patients, as can other inconveniences, like needing a doctor to sign off on physical therapy orders and even handicapped hang tags, said Beth Whitworth, a CRNP who treats mostly elderly patients from Scottsboro, Albertville and Guntersville. When she worked previously in Kentucky and Tennessee, she didn't face those roadblocks, she said.
"Some things just don't make a whole lot of sense," she said. "We are completely competent to do them; it's just the state of Alabama."
The nurses have gotten two bills sponsored in the state Legislature -- one that would allow them to work independently and prescribe controlled substances and another, narrower measure that would just let nurse practitioners and nurse midwives in collaborative practice with doctors prescribe some controlled substances, but not all.
Neither got traction, and advocates claim they've been stymied by resistance from the state's physicians. They say the doctors carry more weight than nurses and fear losing control of the profession and their patients.
"It seems to be an issue based on competition, and it shouldn't be.
The issue should be access to care," said Lori Lioce, president of the Nurse Practitioner Alliance of Alabama.
Larry Dixon, a retired state senator who heads the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, which shares oversight of the collaborations between doctors and nurse practitioners with the state Board of Nursing, says it's about safety, not competition, because doctors have more education and clinical training. The board says it supports more collaborative practices but doesn't want nurses working without physician oversight. And ALAPAC, the lobbying arm of the Medical Association of Alabama, urged doctors to oppose loosening restrictions for nurses, writing on its website in response to a 2009 bill that it "would put patient safety and quality care in Alabama at risk."
There are few in-depth looks into whether that's true; in fact, this fall, members of the American Academy of Family Physicians asked the group to fund a study even if the doctors represented didn't like the outcome.
A recent American Medical Association policy briefing says that even though nurse practitioners who act as primary caregivers instead of doctors receive high marks for patient satisfaction, there are few recent, statistically reliable studies comparing health outcomes between doctors and nurses.
"There's just a world of difference" between the two, Dixon said. "There's lots of things that a nurse practitioner is capable of diagnosing and treating, but the Board of Medical Examiners will never
agree to let someone, because they're a nurse practitioner, put out a shingle and start practicing medicine because they're not physicians."
More time with patients
That riles the nurses, who bristle at the fact that, under the collaborative practice rules, they are inspected by the medical board as well as the Board of Nursing, and the medical board gets some of the fees. They also say many of the CRNPs who train and study in Alabama end up leaving for other states where they can practice more easily and make more money; in fact, Alabama's largest insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield, will not cover nurse practitioners' services when performed independently of a physician.
"We're really not out there to expand our scope of practice," said Lioce. "We're just fighting to do what we're nationally certified to do."
The nurses also argue that they offer a different approach to medicine, one that's focused on relationships and holistic care. They charge less and their days aren't as packed, so they can take more time with patients, said Jones, who has his doctorate in nursing.
That's why Kenneth Newsome likes visiting Jones' clinic. The 58-year-old from Cordova, who was unemployed, was having trouble managing his diabetes until a friend brought him in. Now his nurse, Lindsey Todd, checks the dosage on his medications, goes over his blood sugar journal and makes sure he can afford needles for his insulin.
"The doctors I went to loaded me down with all this medicine and said, 'see you in three months,' " Newsome said. "It's more personal down here. It's more friendly."

The Public Image of Nurse Practitioners
Although the role of the nurse practitioner (Np) has been in existence for several decades, it is still not well understood or recognized by the public. More than one-third of Americans report that their knowledge of health care comes from the media. Yet the media does little to recognize the roles of nurses as health care providers.1

The Utilization of Nurse Practitioners In The Hospital.
More and more hospitals are using in-house physicians and nurse practitioners to monitor patient care.
"Is this the wave of the future? Yes, because it is already the wave of the present," said Robert Wachter, MD, president of the National Association of Inpatient Physicians and chief of medical services at UCSF, where 20 percent of last year's internal medicine residents chose to follow the school's hospitalist
"The forces promoting it are only accelerating it," Wachter said.

Nurse Practitioner Job Description
Have you ever needed a job description for a nurse practitioner? From time to time I get calls from clients that are in need of a good job description. In most cases they have not used nurse practitioners in the past and putting together a good job description is a great place to start. I found a good little web site that offers job descriptions, educational information and some good articles on the nurse practitioner profession.

Job Challenges For Nurse Practitioners
The role of the Nurse Practitioner has been changing slowly over time due to the increasing demand for the NP in the medical work setting. This increase in demand now has nurse practitioners facing many new challenges. The need for a more flexible and progressive approach to a nurse practitioner's delivery of care is a fundamental challenge. Much of the work traditionally carried out by general practitioners will need to be delegated to properly trained personnel such as nurse practitioners. This means that the ability to work with the medical profession and with other healthcare professionals is most important to the leadership challenges facing nurse practitioners. This is particularly important in poorer communities where access to a general physician is limited. Nurse practitioners in these settings will be relied on in such areas as providing medical advice, assessing illnesses and injuries, screening and categorizing patients, monitoring and care for patients with chronic illnesses, prescribing and interpreting diagnostic tests, health promotion and education, nutritional advice, breast and cervical screening…etc. There are also challenges with prescriptive authority and the barriers that are created when a practitioner does not have that ability. Nurse practitioners need to be given broad prescriptive authority to really address the cost of health care in the United States. As nurse practitioner programs spread across the country and more nurse practitioners become involved in all areas of the medical profession, there is growing demand to modify nurse practitioner programs to quell physician concerns and allow nurse practitioners to take on more responsibilities. There are many resources that can be used to help the practitioner deal with these challenges.
As the demand continues to increase for Nurse Practitioners they will have many job options to consider as they seek the best practice opportunity for them. Nurse practitioners are committed to excellence in meeting and exceeding a quality standard of care. Throughout the world, nurse practitioners are being accepted and respected as essential healthcare providers. The issue is the lack of acceptance and recognition by medical professional associations and legislative bodies. Since health promotion and disease prevention have become a concern throughout the world, in the coming years, nurse practitioners are going to be recognized as a valuable and essential asset for the entire medical community.

Name – K.R. "Shark" Mascharka (because most can't say my last name, just call me Shark)
Tools – 0.5 mechanical pencil, stick eraser, Pittman markers (usually) and then a computer art program, as well as a certain amount of swearing at inanimate objects and consumption of adult beverages.
The Hedgehog:
Name – H.C. Boo (Here Catch Boo!….yes my 'Mum' has the wit/humor of a 5yr old)
Nicknames – Boo, Hedgie Boo, Hate-Hog, and "Ow shit, fucking quit it!"
Breed – African Pygmy Hedgehog (albino, female)
Behind the idea:
Artist: I had a pet cat that eventually had to be euthanized due thyroid problems. I was lonely and in need of a pet, but emotionally unready to adopt another cat as well as lacking proper space for a dog. I didn't want a hamster due to being scarred by inbred ones as a youth. I don't see fish as pets. Snakes freak me out. Add on to that, my often transit lifestyle was ill-conducive to many other pets and living in an apartment makes me overly conscious of having active chewers present in my living space. After much time on the internet I finally settled on getting a hedgehog. But being of the goth persuasion left me unwanting of the simple 'normal' hedgehog coloring – I wanted to seek out an albino one to feel more comfortable with my own strangeness. A trip to a few pet stores and a breeder, then finally I was on my way home with a small, prickly little mass of flesh.
My friends soon met the new pet – H.C. Boo and were just as delighted with her as I was. It soon became a jest among me and my friends of how she huffed and reacted to new things and sudden movements – strange new things of which to display her displeasure and hate……a fellow artist friend (you know who you are asshole ❤ ) said how hilarious it would be to put this delightfully cute hate into comic and thus an idea was born. Ta-Da~! And now you see it for yourself.

(Neb)-DOJ Files Suit To Collect $1.3-M From Sheridan County Tax Protesters
By: John Axtell Posted at: 02/08/2018 01:34 PMOMAHA, Neb. - The Lincoln Journal-Star says the federal government has filed a lawsuit seeking $1.3 million dollars in taxes and penalties from a rural Hay Springs couple who have completed 6 year prison terms for conspiracy and tax fraud.
67-year old David Kleensang and 58-year old Bernita Kleensang were convicted in 2012 of conspiracy to defraud the government, impeding administration of Internal Revenue laws, and 14 counts of filing false claims.
Prosecutors said the Kleensangs had not paid income taxes for 5 years, then claimed more than $48 million in refunds. The couple argued they did not have to pay taxes because they were not federal employees and did not live in Washington, D.C.
The Journal-Star says the Tax Division of the Dept of Justice filed a complaint on Tuesday in U-S District Court in Omaha against the Kleensangs with Federal Bureau of Prison records showing the Kleensangs were released from prison last fall.
The complaint against David Kleensang says he owes nearly $1.2-million in taxes, penalties, interest, and civil penalties for the years 2000-2004 and 2006-2007
The filing says Bernita Kleensang is liable for $119,000 as a result of filing false tax refund claims for 2006 and 2007 as well as failing to report and pay all taxes owed in 2007.

VaxInnate Corp. said Wednesday that former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division Chief Thomas Monath has been named to its board of directors.
Monath is CSO and COO of BioProtection Systems, which has a partnership to develop a vaccine candidate for the Ebola virus with Merck.
Monath has also served with other biomedical and biotechnology companies and has had an active role in the development of vaccine candidates for several diseases including cholera, influenza and HIV.
"It is rare to find someone with such a robust resume in public service and industry. Dr. Monath's vast experience in epidemiology and vaccinology will be a huge asset to VaxInnate as we progress our pipeline of novel vaccine candidates, including VAX2012Q, our Phase 2 candidate for seasonal influenza,"
VaxInnate President and CEO
Wayne Pisano said. "In addition to advancing our late-stage candidates, Tom's experience will also be helpful as we leverage his decades in early stage research and development of vaccines, and move forward in our efforts to identify new infectious disease targets to pursue."
Monath served as chief of the CDC's Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases and with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
