Has your dentist talked to you about getting a dental implant? If so, you are one of the 5 million people that undergo dental implant surgery each year.
With a 98% success rate across the US, almost every patient says that this procedure is well worth it. Dental implants are generally included as an area of cosmetic dentistry, so this procedure will surely provide an aesthetic boost to your smile.
Beyond simple cosmetics though, dental implants could drastically improve your oral health and solve long-term dental issues.
Is a dental implant right for me?
Not anyone can have dental implant surgery. This procedure is typically reserved for patients who are missing teeth and need a permanent replacement. Tooth loss can be caused by a number of factors.
Congenital absence: For about 5% of the adult population, a slight genetic hiccup may have resulted in a missing adult tooth. While the baby tooth may remain in place for years, it will eventually lose gum support – leading to discomfort while eating and an enormous gap in your smile when lost.
Dental Trauma: It is not uncommon for athletic injuries or other accidents to result in a missing or broken tooth. Unless you plan on living through the discomfort of a fractured tooth, then a dental implant is likely to solve your problems.
Periodontal disease: From gingivitis to chronic periodontitis, dental disease may result in tooth loss. Severe dental caries (cavities) can also advance to the point of no return – the tooth will have to be extracted and replaced with an implant.
How the procedure works
Dental implant surgery is easily broken down into 3 parts. The entire process will usually take around 6 months. This time frame is subject to change depending on how long it takes for your jaw to develop around the implant.
- Setting the implant
In this phase, the dentist will surgically embed the implant into your jawbone. With the help of local anesthetics, your dentist will make a tiny incision in your gum so that a small hole can be drilled into the jawbone, where the implant will then be placed. While this may sound painful, most patients report only minor discomfort, which can be treated with low dose medication.For the next several months, you will still have a gap in this location, but your dentist will provide a temporary veneer or replacement until the implant is fully healed.
- Healing and osseointegration
Your dental implant needs to last a lifetime, that's why it is necessary to take time for your gum to heal. For about 4-6 months, you and your dentist will wait until your jawbone has completely fused with the new implant – this process is called osseointegration.In the same way that roots hold your natural teeth in place, osseointegration will ensure that your artificial tooth will be totally secure. Once the gum and bone have fully bonded to the implant, then you can jump into the final step of dental implant surgery.
- Placing the prosthesis
After months of waiting, your dentist will know when the implant has grown strong enough to actually support a fake tooth (or prosthesis). At this point, your dentist will work with you to create a fitted artificial tooth.
Many factors are taken into consideration when designing your custom prosthesis. A mold of your mouth will determine the exact size and length of the tooth, while an experienced designer will find an exact color match for your smile. When the custom tooth is finally designed, it can be fitted into your implant in a simple routine visit to your dentist.
Enjoying your new smile
After dental implant surgery, your new prosthesis looks and feels like a normal tooth. In fact, you don't have to do anything out of the ordinary to care for your new tooth. You can brush, floss, and eat just like you could regularly.
Friends and family will certainly notice a huge improvement in your smile and you will feel happier with a complete set of teeth. The long-term benefits of a dental implant are many – you too can experience the benefits of cosmetic dentistry with a simple talk with your dentist.
Other types of dental implants
In our discussion above, we are mainly focusing on single tooth replacement. In reality, there are dozens of implants that could be a better fit.
For example, some patients may be missing several consecutive teeth in a row. Your dentist can place a fixed bridge implant in order to fill the gap between several missing teeth. The process is almost identical to the one described above, except 2 or 3 implants will be placed into the jaw instead of one. The healing and osseointegration process may take longer, but it will lead to the same satisfactory results.
At a certain age, it becomes more and more difficult to care for your teeth. Some adults may even experience major tooth loss. In these cases, a dentist will likely recommend a full set of dentures. This procedure is more intensive than an ordinary dental implant, but dentures are fully removable to allow for easy cleaning and comfort.
Tooth replacement and repair is a huge part of cosmetic dentistry. A dentist's job is simply to restore your smile to its original brilliance. Talk to your dentist today to see if a dental implant is right for you.

text: Ever heard anyone say how uggly Uggs are? They may not be the prettiest shoe (ask any guy what they think) but they sure do come in handy after having run 26.2 miles. I've calculated that during a marathon I take almost 37,000 steps. That is a lot of pounding on my giant feet(10 1/2 running shoes)! As soon as you cross the finish line, you start to feel the aches and pains you may not have noticed while you were on an adrenaline filled run. Your medal is placed around your neck, you smile for the photographer, and then you begin to limp. Your legs feel like noodles, your back aches, and you discover just how much you use the muscles in your neck and shoulders while running. But, your feet did the most work. Those two suckers just took a beating and now need a break. If you're anything like me, you don't want to go anywhere near a pair of running shoes. Most of the marathons that I have run are during fall or winter when it's (hopefully) cool enough to wear Uggs. I always wear these shoes to the race, with my running shoes hidden safely in my bag with all my other goods. As soon as I finish my race, I head for my bag and tear off my running shoes. Slipping my feet and calves into my Uggs is one of the best feelings, it's like walking on little pillows. It makes moving around in an effort to meet up with loved ones, trying to find snacks, and then the bathroom so much more comfortable. If you don't want to purchase Uggs, you can find the same style boot that is more affordable online or even at DSW.

California truck accidents are caused by frequent violations of the law. This article discusses the obligation to travel at 55MPH on highways and in the right hand lanes.California truck laws provide specific guidelines for truck operation. In the last few years, while the laws have remained unchanged, a number of truck drivers have been noted as violating these laws. These laws protect you and me from injury. Trucks should travel slower than other traffic because of the probable harm they will cause if involved in an incident and the inability to slow them rapidly when an emergency occurs. Failure to abide by these laws and causing an accident or injury will assess more severe liability and damages claims against these drivers. Call a truck accident lawyer if you were in an accident with a truck. We can help you determine the laws broken by a truck driver. Call 1 866-981-5596.
Truck drivers are liable for causing an accident when they fail to honor the rules of the road designed to protect you and me. Here are some of the laws that are applicable to speed and lane operation of trucks in California
California Vehicle code section 22406 states, no person may drive a motor truck or truck tractor having three or more axles any of the following vehicles on a highway at a speed in excess of 55 miles per hour:
Trucks and trailer-towed vehicles must either use the designated lane, if there is one, or the lane as closely practicable to the right hand side of the road. California Vehicle code section 21655 notes if a lane has not been designated those vehicles shall be driven in the right-hand lane for traffic. With 4 or more lanes on a divided highway, those vehicles the truck may use the second to the right lane as well.
Trucks not honoring these simple rules cause many truck accidents. Automobiles change lanes and move through traffic more quickly and therefore trucks should stay to the right, where they are safe and so are you. Call or contact us if you have any questions about a truck accident. Call a truck accident attorney 1 866-981-5596.

TAMPA, Fla. — Mitt Romney won the race — to Louisiana.
On his first day as the official Republican nominee for president, Romney hastily rearranged his schedule to include a visit to survey the devastation in storm-ravaged Lafitte, La.
President Obama quickly announced that he's going to see the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac too, but not until Monday.
The White House insisted that the president's unexpected detour to Louisiana, which required canceling a campaign stop in Cleveland, was planned before Romney's trip.
The decision to go Monday was made after consulting federal, state and local officials to ensure the president and his huge security entourage didn't interfere with rescue and cleanup efforts, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters on Air Force One.
"It was an assessment of his team and people on the ground," he said.
Isaac sloshed through Arkansas yesterday and headed for Missouri after causing an estimated $2 billion of damage in the soggy Gulf states.
More than 500,000 homes and businesses were still without power in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas as utilities struggled with downed power lines and flooded towns.
The death toll since Isaac roared ashore was raised to at least four after officials in Braithwaite, La., found the bodies of a man and a woman who apparently drowned in their kitchen as flood waters surged in.
The Romney campaign said the candidate's tour came at the invitation of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican.
Romney met up with Jindal south of New Orleans, his motorcade passing by flooded homes and businesses as residents stood in water where their front lawns had been.
"I'm here to learn and obviously draw some attention to what's going on here," Romney said. "So that people around the country know that people down here need help."
Jindal missed his chance to address the Republican National Convention because of the massive storm.
Meanwhile, Obama flexed the power of incumbency yesterday when he flew to Fort Bliss in Texas to mark the two-year anniversary of his announcement that the US combat mission in Iraq had come to an end.
"Today every American can be proud that the United States is safer, the United States is stronger and the United States is more respected in the world," Obama declared, a throng of soldiers in fatigues providing the backdrop.

Home Care Legal Considerations In Longview, TX
Find out more about putting your loved one's health and care affairs in order
When important legal issues are addressed properly and on time, your loved one can rest assured that their wishes will be respected in case they are prevented from communicating those wishes on their own. Living wills, powers of attorney, and other instructions are complex legal issues that should be taken into consideration when discussing in-home care options with your senior loved one.
You should encourage your loved one to get their affairs in order while they are still healthy. All legal documents require that the individual signing the document has the ability to comprehend the document they are signing.
While just thinking about these legal matters may seem scary, it is important to keep in mind that they are just a precautionary measure that can give your family peace of mind that your senior mom or dad can count on you to follow their wishes if they can't say what they want for whatever reason.
A living will can let your loved one express their wishes concerning medical treatment and care. As long as your loved one is capable of making their own decisions, advance health care directives can be revoked or replaced at any time. Your senior mom or dad can review these legal documents and make necessary changes, making sure the directives accurately reflect their current situation and wishes.
A durable power of attorney for health care legally grants you the ability to make decisions concerning care in your loved one's name in the event they become incapacitated and unable to voice their wishes. A power of attorney for finances gives you legal authority to handle their finances.
Another important document is HIPAA Authorization. The purpose of an HIPPA authorization form is to allow you access to your loved one's medical records, health information, and medical history.
Once legal documents are gathered, you should talk to your loved one about organizing important documentation and putting it somewhere safe.
For more information about legal documents for seniors, please contact Comfort Keepers of Longview, TX. We are more than happy to offer our services to your loved one!

|Alexander Pettit.
Alexander Pettit analyzes the formation of and the reaction against the notion of a unified opposition to England's de facto prime minister Sir Robert Walpole (1676-1745), the "great man" of Scriblerian satire who was reviled throughout the 1730s for his hostility to the belles lettres, his alleged disregard of the royal prerogative, and his concentration of power in an oligarchy of parliamentary "placemen." The discussion draws extensively on ephemeral plays, sermons, pamphlets, and newspapers that in their own day were regarded as significant contributions to the political debate. Pettit shows that the myth of coherent anti-Walpoleanism was promoted vigorously by Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1751), cofounder of the popular opposition weekly, the Craftsman. But Pettit argues that much of the anti-Walpole literature of the 1730s responds anxiously to Bolingbroke's prescriptive theorizing and questions or criticizes the terms of his appeals to consensus. The opposition was fundamentally in disagreement about how to formulate its objection to modern government. Bolingbroke's reductive fantasy of the opposition has been regarded charitably by modern commentators, most of whom have chosen to regard the "print-wars" as the occasion for Bolingbroke's major political treatises or as background to the satire of his friends, the Scriblerians. This emphasis on a small and interconnected group of writers and sources, however, has caused scholars to neglect the opposition's diversity and its lack of coherence.

Govt should see if notifications on taxi, auto fares are followed: HC
New Delhi: Delhi High Court today left it to the Delhi government to see if the notifications on taxi and auto rickshaw fares were properly followed, saying it cannot interfere into it and the issue has to be regulated by the concerned authorities. The court observed this while hearing an application filed by auto rickshaw drivers in which they alleged that app-based cab aggregators, like Uber and Ola, were charging much less than the fare fixed in government notifications affecting their livelihood.
"If auto rickshaws or cabs are not charging properly, how can a court interfere in it," Justice J R Midha said, adding, "How can courts regulate all this? This has to be done by the authorities."
The court further said it was of the prima facie view that government should look into it and it would not be appropriate for the court to regulate the implementation of notifications. "The government is empowered to do whatever is necessary. This court cannot interfere in it," the court said.
Delhi government's senior standing counsel Rahul Mehra told the court that these app-based cab aggregators would have to abide by the government notifications on fares.
He said if there was any violation of law, the court can interfere in the matter. "They (taxi aggregators) will have to abide by law of the land. They cannot do whatever they want," Mehra said, adding, "how can an aggregator say that they would not comply with the notifications."
"They have not got the licence to do whatever they want," he said, adding that the Supreme Court has said that all these operators would have to adhere to the government guidelines.
In the application, it was claimed that these app-based cab aggregators were "charging fares as low as Rs 5 per km which is less than half of the notified fares".
It further claimed that while these aggregators have put the livelihood of auto rickshaw drivers in "grave danger" by charging fares less than the autos, the government "is doing nothing to protect their interests and has utterly failed to implement its own notification vis-a-vis taxi aggregators."

The first of these events is planned to take place on Thursday 9th of Feb at 19.30 and will go on until he throws us out at around 23.00 and as part of the IUC family you and your family and friends are of course all invited to come along and be entertained in a nice warm, friendly and cosy old pub setting. Lets help David get this off the ground and make The Rose & Crown the regular "In place" for talented live music in Kent. See you there!
Thanks & Kind Regards,
John & IUC.

A protest for immigrant rights Wednesday morning shut down New York City-bound traffic on the upper lanes of the George Washington Bridge.
The protest reportedly organized by the NY Worker Federation was demanding equal rights for immigrants. Video posted to Twitter showed one driver getting out of a vehicle and fighting with one of the protesters.
The group of about 10 people had a large banner that they spread across the lanes saying: "Resist, organized, rise up!"
The hashtag #SomosVisible #WeAreVisible was trending on social media. All lanes of the upper level reopened at about 9 a.m.
Joe Pentangelo of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said seven male protesters and three female protesters were in custody at around 8:30 a.m.
Traffic on the upper level was being diverted off the bridge at 177th St. for approximately one hour. The protesters shut down the lanes by chaining themselves to the bridge.

On this episode Pete Bowman teams up with Captain John Blanchard as they head to a Smallmouth Bass Mecca in Northern Ontario. They fish 3 very distinct locations with one goal in mind… catching lots of Smallies. Everything from topwater to dropshot baits are employed in this dog days of summer episode.
"Today's Fish'n Canada show is what I call a Smallmouth Bass adventure" says Pete. "We're fishing at a Waterfalls Lodge in the Algoma Region of Ontario. Their list of gamefish consists of northern pike, walleye and lake trout however their main species is the Smallmouth Bass and it has multiple locations to fish for them. We are going to concentrated on 3 distinctly different areas."
You may remember John Blanchard was featured on last year's "Next Big Thing" episode which transcended into this years first episode. John has fished with both Angelo and Pete on previous shows, for Walleye and late fall Smallmouth respectively. When Pete asked John if he wanted to come along for this shoot John immediately jumped at the opportunity.
The timing for this shoot took place during a brutal heatwave in southern Ontario and with that said, it was down to the grind, Summer Heat tactics for those Algoma District Smallies.
"We we're hoping to find fish in deeper water of the main lake by using our electronics "says Pete, "If they are deep, Smallies usually school up and getting more than one fish is possible".
BUT as luck would have it, that wasn't the case… no deep-water groups of fish to be found… so… it was the good "ol' school" method of casting & reeling, covering as much water as possible.
As the day progressed Pete and John managed loads of Smallmouth but only the odd good one. The decison to hit some main lake points as well as any structure and cover in between… was a good one. Believe it or not, out on a single log in almost 30 feet of water, a gorgeous Smallmouth rocketed up to engulf a topwater bait… one of the biggest thrills in Bass fishing.
Destination 2 of the boys Waterfalls Lodge Smallie adventure took them in a totally different direction. They mounted a couple of ATV's and set out for one of the Lodges secret Smallmouth Bass lakes.
"I love these little back lakes that are really hard to access" says Pete "there's always the thought of casting where no other bait has dropped and giant fish waiting to smash a bait"!
Pete "This is one of the best little "side trips" I have had in a long time at a lodge and is definitely something I would highly recommend but remember to book early as they only allow a couple boats on the lake at one time"
Pete and John's final fishing destination at Waterfalls Lodge was Denvic Lake. This lake is part of the system that the lodge has access to but you will have to travel a very short distance to access this beautiful little body of water. This is also where the name Waterfalls Lodge came from and indeed there were Smallies right adjacent to the falls. The water is gin clear here so sight fishing is an option.
This lake is small enough that if you have a trolling motor on the bow of your boat, you can cover most of the shoreline in a single day. Main lake points and rock banks that dropped off quickly were the ticket here while the bait of choice was a 4″ Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm on a dropshot rig. Natural colours seemed best.
In closing this is an amazing trio of Smallie waters… tons of fish in each area and the spectacular drive-to scenery that the Fish'n Canada crew has become accustomed to up in Algoma country!

Free time in the USA: Creating Memories
By: Sushania Pryce, Work and Travel Ambassador Scholar
My favorite part about my Summer Work Travel experience is enjoying my free time when I'm not working. This includes traveling and volunteering. I look forward to going to new and exciting places and meeting new and interesting people. I take advantage of every opportunity that may present itself to enjoy my time in the U.S.A.
I went to Florida and had an amazing time visiting my family and spending time with my best friend. I went to the movies, to the park and then I did some shopping! In Maine I often go out with my friends to eat and have a great time. I really like to go sightseeing and kayaking on the Kennebunk River in my host community.
This summer I also visited New Hampshire where I took advantage of their tax free shopping. Then I passed through Boston and visited Central Park in New York City. This is only a portion of what I've done so far. I am hoping to do more travelling towards the end of the summer.
The most memorable thing of all my adventures is of course volunteering in my free time. I enjoy volunteering and I look forward to it every week. I've had a lot of fun volunteering and I was able to meet some wonderful people.
I am so happy to have had the opportunity to come to the U.S. and experience a new culture, meet new people and visit so many beautiful places. Thanks to CCI Greenheart for this incredible opportunity. My Work and Travel experience would not have been the same if I weren't a Greenheart Club member.

Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A federal judge has delayed the trial for a defendant accused of not telling everything he knew about the plans of a man charged with shooting nine black parishioners at a Charleston church.
U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel agreed Friday to postpone the trial of 21-year-old Joey Meek until at least March. No specific trial date was set.
A defense attorney said during a hearing that she needed more time to prepare Meek's defense and review the large amount of evidence in the case.
Prosecutors allege Meek lied and failed to report what he knew about Dylann Roof's plans for shooting the parishioners at Emanuel AME Church on June 17.
Roof faces nine counts of murder in state court and dozens of federal charges, including hate crimes.

Free eye exams, contact lenses and low cost prescription glasses can be obtained from Medi-Cal Managed Care vision providers. The benefits are for income qualified families as noted below, and the services available are focused on ensuring optometric needs are met. The main reason that the program was created was to address the eye care needs of struggling families, including immigrants that are new to the state. The Medi-Cal service has the goal of providing free vision care to the low-income, working poor, and/or under-insured families throughout the state of California.
There are several conditions that need to be met and many different parts to the program. But at the the end of the day the Medi-Cal health care program is committed to helping the low income by preventing vision loss and enhancing eye care. They meet this goal through the provision of various health and vision care services to medically underserved Californians. Read other free glasses and eye care programs.
There are several conditions that need to be met. In order to be eligible for a free eye exam or prescription glasses through the Med-Cal, potential applicants and patients must need the following conditions.
Other factors may also come into play. But the list above is what is generally required by the non-profit organizations.
If found to be qualified, then as per above, an eye test may be given once every 24 months. This can check for diseases as well as to see if the patient needs any corrective glasses or other improvements. Note that the state of California may provide free contact lens if the person can't wear prescription glasses due to some other condition, such as an eye disease.
Free eyeglasses may be given as well. California will only offer this government benefit to individuals under the age of 21. This means that the most vulnerable, such as children or teenagers, often benefit. Medi-Cal may also provide support to those enrolless that live in a nursing home.
There may be other more extensive care given as well. The California Medi-Cal Managed Care may provide additional assistance to people with an injury or eye disease. As an example of what a provider may give, it can include artificial eye care or corrective equipment they need.
Medi-Cal may also provide free low-vision testing. If the low income family has an existing vision impairment that impacts their lifestyle, they may qualify for help. The impairment needs to impact their ability to work, care for family, and more. The condition also can't be correctable by prescription glasses, susrgery, or medications. In these cases Medi-Cal may provide additional help.
Appointments are needed. As noted, care is only given to low income households that currently receive Medi-Cal. To find a participating Optometrist, contact your current insurance provider. Or the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) offers a referral service as well.
Another option is the California Vision Project, or CVF. The organization is a non-profit, optometric focused charity designed to provide low-income, uninsured families as well as individuals with free comprehensive eye exams and prescription glasses. Each year as many as 3000 eligible individuals are matched to volunteer optometrists. CVF oversees this process. In order to be eligible, all of the following conditions need to be met.
More more information, or to apply, the California Vision Project can be reached at 800-877-5738 (English) or 909-483-7761 (Spanish). The website for more information is http://www.coavision.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3350

It's not every day a girl turns 30, so when the occasion does roll around it calls for a big celebration. And that's exactly what mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen got this weekend when husband John Legend surprised her with a 30th birthday bash that was fit for a foodie queen.
For the big birthday, Legend surprised his wife with a party at the Comedy Cellar in New York City, where guest like Dave Chappelle (who also performed an impromptu stand-up set) munched on some of Teigen's favorite treats form Momofuku Milk Bar, including Korean fried chicken wings, spicy cucumbers, and pork buns. The expectant mom looked gorgeous as ever in a bump-hugging gown with a thigh-high side slit—definitely not your typical maternity wear.
And of course, no party is complete without a rendition of "Happy Birthday," and with a hubby like Legend, you know Teigen's was Grammy-worthy. The singer took the stage to serenade his wife on her special day, and luckily attendee Simon Huck caught the performance on camera—keep reading to see it, plus more Instagrams from Teigen's birthday bash:

WellTransitions couldn't be more timely with a well-vetted solution to reducing hospital re-admissions
WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT — WellTransitions could be couched as another way in which Walgreens is striving to create solutions that lower the cost of overall health care outside of the physical retail pharmacy space, because it is. WellTransitions also could be characterized as a program that will routinely chip away at the $25 billion associated with hospital re-admissions by having more prescriptions filled at the pharmacy counter, because it does. But the real impact of this news? The real clincher? Hospitals need retail pharmacy if they're going to focus on reducing re-admissions, eliminating unnecessary healthcare costs and avoiding those penalties.
(THE NEWS: Walgreens introduces WellTransitions, a coordinated care model that works in tandem with hospitals. For the full story, click here.)
And that's the direction Walgreens is headed. Most recently, the company added managed care vet Brad Fluegel as chief strategy officer, adding another talented expert to Walgreens chief Greg Wasson's dream team, which he has described as the "perfect blend of internal, long-term talent" and "external expertise and talents" that is helping to accelerate a massive transformation in its business. (For exclusive coverage of all Walgreens' efforts, click here for the Sept. 24 DSN special report.)
For the first year, hospitals are only being measured on 30-day re-admissions across three medical conditions: heart attacks, heart failure and pneumonia. Taking re-admission rates around heart attacks as an example, heart attacks are among the top 10 reasons for hospitalization among adults ages 45 years and older, according to a statistical brief recently issued by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project — a family of healthcare databases and related software tools and products developed through a federal/state/industry partnership and sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. In 2009, there were 633,000 patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction. Close to 1-in-5 of those patients, or 17.1%, were re-admitted to the hospital within 30 days.
Medication therapy management isn't a magic wand, mind you. But it can be a hefty tool that if employed properly can take a significant swipe at reducing that readmission statistic. And a lot of hospitals aren't focused effectively on medication therapy management.
According to a study published in the August 2012 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, a significant number of hospitals failed to employ medication therapy management as a tool to help boost medicine adherence and consequently reduce re-admission rates. In about 14% of hospitals, responsibility for medication reconciliation was never formally assigned. "For nearly one-half of the hospitals, a pharmacist or pharmacy technician was never involved with obtaining the medication history, and a small proportion of hospitals reported always making contact with an outside pharmacy or with the primary physician as part of the medication reconciliation process (in 3.2% and 13.9% of hospitals, respectively)," the report read. "Although patient education about medications was apparently robust, with 70% of hospitals reporting the use of 'teach-back' techniques and 77% reporting that all medication details were given to patients at discharge, lack of standard processes for both the reconciliation and patient education regarding medications is potentially problematic."
But why might these practices be lacking in so many hospitals? "One reason might be because they require added resources," the authors concluded. "Particularly in the case of producing timely discharge summaries and ensuring adequate patient and caregiver education about complex medication and other issues, it is possible that constraints on staff time is a major rate-limiting step to implementing some of these potentially best practices."
A pharmacy can help solve that problem.
According to a study published in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, nonadherence to medications is common for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Almost 1-in-4 never filled their prescriptions. Among patients discharged with prescriptions for aspirin, statin and beta blockers, almost 34% of patients stopped taking at least one of those medicines within a month after discharge, and 12% had stopped taking all three.
And the fact that a pharmacist intervention can produce the desired results has been long documented. In a 2007 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, there was a 19.4% reduction hospital readmissions in patients seen by pharmacists.
Wow! So well laid out!on topic WellTransitions couldn't be more timely with a well-vetted solution to reducing hospital re-admissions I learned so much, and have to admit, found myself nodding in agreement from my own experience.Keep up the great work!
Pharmacy OneSource releases new version of Simplifi 797 pharmacy compounding software
BELLEVUE, Wash. — A division of Wolters Kluwer Health has released a new version of a Web-based quality-assurance software for pharmacy compounding.
Pharmacy OneSource announced the release of a new version of Simplifi 797, used for ensuring compliance with USP chapter 797 regulations, which call for proper training of staff who prepare sterile compounded products.
The software includes a redesigned dashboard that allows for tracking of competencies by separating them for each staff member. This allows assignments for the entire clean-room staff to be created or modified with just a few clicks, the company said.
The release of the new software comes amid a nationwide outbreak of meningitis that authorities say stemmed from compounded injectable steroids that were contaminated with a rare fungus from a New England-based compounding pharmacy. The outbreak so far has resulted in 257 cases and 20 deaths as of Friday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's daily update.

FDA gives tentative approval to Cipla combo pill for HIV
SILVER SPRING, Md. — The Food and Drug Administration has given tentative approval to a new drug for HIV made by an Indian company.
FDA records show that the agency gave tentative approval tablets and oral suspension that combine lamivudine, nevirapine and zidovudine in the 30-mg/50-mg/60-mg strength.
The drug doesn't currently carry a brand name, and all three active ingredients are available as generics; Apotex and Aurobindo market generic versions of lamivudine, a generic version of ViiV Healthcare's Epivir, while versions made by several other companies have tentative FDA approval.
A Cipla tablet that combines the three ingredients in the 150-mg, 200-mg and 300-mg strengths, respectively, received tentative approval from the FDA in 2007 and is marketed outside the United States as Duovir N.
Tentative approval means that a drug meets the FDA's requirements for approval, but the agency can't allow the manufacturer to launch because of the branded drug's patent or the market exclusivity period of another company making a generic version hasn't expired.

Tips for Staying Healthy During the Holidays + Winter Workout Essentials GIVEAWAY
This time of year is always a busy season with travel, the typical holiday festivities, tying up professional loose ends before everyone closes up shop etc. How how do we fabulous women/moms stay svelte while mixing and mingling during the hustle and bustle? Below I've shared my tips for sticking to a healthy and guilt-free routine—even when faced with tempting platters of holiday foods. I've chatted with a lot of trainers and experts in this world to try and gather PRACTICAL helpful hints. Check them out below:
#1 Get a Smart Snacking Strategy - With all the holiday parties this month, I think there is truth behind the theory that eating a small healthy snack before you leave the house can curb your appetite and keep you from over indulging. I don't always do it, but when I do it does help. Something like a handful of carrots and almond, or some celery and humus while getting ready can really help your overall carb and calorie count.
#2 Have Healthy Winter Friendly Foods on Hand - Everybody needs a good dose of soup when the cold weather hits. I make a quick and easy chicken vegetable soup that is so filling and good: I start with organic chicken broth, then I boil some glute-free pasta noodles in the broth. About 3 - 4 minutes before the pasta is cooked, I throw in some greens like kale, chard or spinach (or all three! Then celery and carrots.. I like to top the soup off with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sliced avocado to add a little zing.
#3 Indulge for Real (Sometimes!) - When I indulge, I think it is best to go for the real deal. Don't try to satisfy a craving with a substitute (who are we kidding, it never works!). Iend up eating more of the 'healthy version' than what I would have eaten if I just had that slice of pizza that I'm still craving!
#4 Get a Staple 'Easy-to-Make' Salad Memorized - I love great salad. Sometimes, I don't have the creativity to make a fantastic one, so I end up eating bad! I learned a few years ago that memorizing quick and simple salads really goes a long way! One of my favorites is an Arugula and Avocado Salad—it's filling and full of healthy fats, plus it's a huge crowd pleaser. Take a few handfuls of fresh arugula, add toasted pine nuts (or plain if you don't have the time to roast), juice from 1 large lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, sliced avocado and you're done! You can also add shaved Parmesan if you need something extra. Literally takes 2 mns and is sooo good!
#5 Dress for (SLENDER) Success -Another incentive to eating well at an event or party is to wear clothes that actually fit instead of loose or baggy clothes. When I do this, it keeps me conscious of what I am eating and helps me avoid eating too much (plus, it's fun when you can't breathe from eating too much, been there too many times hah!).
Another thing to add is my workout gear during the winter! I love Under Armour and New Balance as the materials really hold up in all kinds of weather (and in washes!) I also love my iFit. iFit has also made my workout life a little easier! It tracks EVERYTHING from my calories, heart rate, it even tracks my sleeping pattern!
Now for a GIVEAWAY :) iFit has been awesome enough to offer one iFit VUE (Retails for $99) to a reader/follower of mine! It would make a great holiday gift!

Feedback and reports about an internship in Bali
We always do our best that you will enjoy your experience with Bali Internships. The voice of our participants is very important for us as we need to see ourselves from another perspective. It will help us to improve our services. Well, have a look on some reports of former interns about their internship in Bali and see how we did.
Photography internship at photo-art community
Viki reports:
As I flew to Bali I could probably never imagine that I will organize my own photography exhibition this summer. It was a completely new and enriching experience for me. I appreciate the help and cooperation of everybody who has supported me in the last weeks.
Testimonial photography internship
Journalism internship at a newspaper
Clara reports:
During the period that I was an intern in the Magazine I learnt a lot, not only about how to improve my writing skills and my English level but about how to get used to the life in Island, how to deal with unexpected situations and, especially, how to be patient and sort the good from the bad.
Testimonial journalism internship
Marketing internship at a dive center
Tommy reports:
Now i'm back in my home country and I can easily say that my 6 months internship in Bali was one of the best experiences in my life. The Balinese people are by far the friendliest people i have ever met, and their culture and beliefs interests me a lot.
Testimonial dive center internship
Internship at a surf magazine
Jonas reports:
The time as intern was the whole time really interesting and exciting and I learned so many new things about journalism but also about myself and life in general. The Balinese mentality inspired me to be a better person as Balinese people are really friendly and helpful.

JUST IN: Metuh To Be Remanded In Kuje Prisons
A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered that the national publicity secretary of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh be remanded in Kuje prison.
The court's order came after the Metuh's oral bail was denied. After taking his plea, counsel to the PDP spokesperson, Ifedayo Adedikpe prayed the court to permit him make an oral bail application for his client. But the court denied him that.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) had on Friday, January 15 arraigned Metuh before Justice Okon Abang over allegations of illegally receiving public funds.
Abang further adjourned the case to Tuesday, January 19 for hearing on bail application. Metuh was accused of having collected N400 million from former president Goodluck Jonathan.
The accused PDP spokesperson who accepted receiving such money from Jonathan has however refused to disclose details of the assignments he did for the former president.
Metuh has been in detention since Tuesday, January 5 and was also reported to have torn and chewed a statement he wrote at the EFCC.
Meanwhile, EFCC had on Wednesday, January 14, revealed the reason they are yet to release the spokesperson for the opposition party.
According to Rotimi Jacobs, counsel of the anti-graft commission, who spoke with reporters briefly after an Abuja Federal High Court, presided by Justice Abang Okon suspended hearing on Metuh's case till January 20, "It is not unlawful to detain somebody on the order of the court. There are misinformation everywhere, it's not done like that. We cannot ignore the law; we cannot do things without due process.
"Under the criminal justice act, you can arrest somebody and go to court to validate it. We have the order."

Watching the market action over the last few months, I am reminded of the traditional circus of my youth. When the Ringling Brothers rolled into Madison Square Garden, the elephants would march in at the beginning of the show. Each elephant would hold the tail of the elephant in front with his or her trunk and they would parade around the main ring. When the ringmaster raised his hands, the elephants would lift their trunks, and consequently, the tails of the elephant in front. When the ringmaster lowered his hands, the trunks went down. Around and around it would go until the elephants found their places and started lifting clowns and circus girls into the air with their now unoccupied trunks.
Obviously the ponderous elephants today are the financial markets around the globe which have risen only after dramatic flourishes by the ringmasters (Central Bank worthies and European politicians). However, when these ringmasters let their arms down to prepare for the next flourish, the elephants have been dropping their trunks around the world. Without the ringmaster, market participants are not willing to step out of line and risk capital (note the repeated approaches to but few breaches of the 200 day moving average on the SPX). And this observation is not just a reminiscence of youth. Thanks to Bloomberg, it is not hard to plot the increasingly correlated nature of the main equity indices.
Data Source: Bloomberg
I constructed this chart by taking the weekly correlation measurements at monthly intervals. At the far left it measures the correlation for 12 months (Dec 15 2010 – Dec 15 2010). The next point is from Jan 15 2011 – Dec 15 2011 (11 months) and so on until the last data point on the right which measures just the past month. The function on Bloomberg is CORR for the Correlation Matrix.
What do I think this means?
Although this is a non-standard "study" of the market, I think it demonstrates pretty clearly how dramatically the nature of the markets have changed over the year. What surprised me the most was how much GLD's relationship with the SPX has shifted (much to the chagrin of gold bugs with 2000 price targets). I also looked at TLT as a proxy for treasuries and its correlation moved from -0.79 to -0.87 through the same period. I suspect that the "dead hand" of policy risk (both political and monetary) has stamped down the risk appetite amongst investors for any significant investment time horizon.
I think there are two key take-aways from these "observations".
First, we need to watch for opportunities to sell puts and calls when the VIX is high because there are not the usual amount of "asset allocation" opportunities to make money. With little divergence to play for and markets that appear range bound in the medium term, clipping options premiums may not be a bad way to pass the time.
Second, we need to watch for the divergence. Although I have not done an exhaustive study, it makes sense that market convergence and divergence would happen in waves. As we saw in the 2008/9 period, the high correlation into the meltdown was matched by a divergence once the markets started to rally off the bottom. If history is any guide, a shift towards more divergence should spell the end of the current slog. At that point, we should see winners and losers emerging and asset class breakouts (hopefully to the upside). It will be a concurrent indicator at best but with the current lack of confidence, that may be a useful confirmation of a change in trend.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Forbes Magazine celebrates its 100th birthday with a look at the world's top thinkers in business
Forbes has just released a list of "100 Greatest Living Business Minds," and it's a mixed bag of the usual suspects and some more eye-catching personalities.
Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Shonda Rhimes, President Donald Trump and Hewlett-Packard's Meg Whitman are all amongst the favored few that Forbes named to its roundup, but there are some surprising names, too: Russell Simmons, Paul McCartney and Miuccia Prada, among them.
Also read: "Shonda Rhimes tells Moneyish about the three women who've inspired her most this year"
The financial publication amassed the list "[to] celebrate Forbes' centennial," in honor of its 100th birthday this year. The list, its editors say, is "the greatest ever collection of business essayists and greatest ever portrait portfolio in business history."
Fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg is among those Forbes singled out, and she shared some thoughts on her journey to the top with the magazine's readers."With the help of a salesman, I took a showroom. Soon after, I designed the first wrap dress," von Furstenberg writes of her early days in New York. "Overnight that dress became a huge commercial success and a symbol of women's liberation. Soon we were making 25,000 dresses a week. I was living the American Dream and established my brand."
"After that I had many ups and downs, but what allowed me to survive is that I was always honest and I truly believed in what I did," she concluded.
There are others with interesting stories to share, too.
Ratan Tata, former Chairman of several companies within the Indian conglomerate Tata Group — which owns brands including Land Rover, Taj Hotels, and Tetley Teas — shared succinct advice with Forbes readers: "Be passionate in areas relevant to you, and be a voice that is respected and abreast of developments," Tata said.
Musician Bono, of U2 and founder of the philanthropic group RED, challenged the traditional assumption that businesspeople are only out for themselves: "Some of the most selfish people I've met are artists — I'm one of them — and some of the most selfless people I've ever met are in business, people like Warren Buffett…" he reflected. "I've always seen what I do as an activist, as an artist, as an investor, as coming from the same place."
Also read: "Get a first look at Apple's (PRODUCT) RED iPhone 7"
Spanx founder Sara Blakely had some common-sense advice for those just starting out in business. "In the early days of Spanx, I didn't vet the manufacturer helping me make our first product, footless pantyhose. They went out of business and gave me one week's notice. It almost put Spanx under," Blakely recalled. "Had I done any kind of financial due diligence on them, I would have been able to prevent that. Early-stage entrepreneurs shouldn't forget about that layer. It almost stopped everything for me."
Also read: "Every boss in America should take this advice to become a better leader"
In spite of the diversity on the list — both in terms of industries represented, but also of genders and backgrounds — there are many traditional heavyweights on the list too like Charles Koch, Richard Branson, and Howard Schultz.
As for Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States opened up about the importance of persistence, and of courage.
"The greatest business lesson I've learned in life is the same message I have for young people across America: Never give up," Trump said. "America is a land of dreams, and if we chase those dreams with all of our hearts, then our country will be greater than ever before."

I was inspired to make a cupcake based on my favorite latte. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do enjoy a cappuccino or latte every now and then.
I took my standard chocolate cupcake recipe, and once baked and cooled, I filled each one with a homemade caramel sauce (you can also substitute with a good quality store-bought version). I frosted the cupcakes with my standard vanilla buttercream, and drizzled with more caramel.
The caramel sauce is actually a toffee sauce for Sticky Toffee Pudding. I love, love, love it and it freezes very well. You can also frost the cupcakes with fresh whipped cream to save time.
The recipe may seem overwhelming, but the result is pure decadence!
Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes
Makes approximately 20 – 24 cupcakes Recipe adapted from Epicurious.com
Chocolate Cupcakes
- 1 cup boiling hot water
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural, not dutch processed)
- 1-½ tsp instant espresso powder
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups packed dark brown sugar (I reduced the sugar and used 1-3/4 cup)
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 2 muffin pans with liners
- Whisk together hot water, cocoa powder and instant espresso powder in a bowl until smooth, then whisk in milk and vanilla
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt
- Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes
- Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition (at least 30 seconds) Reduce speed to low and add flour and cocoa mixtures alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture (batter may look curdled)
- Divide batter evenly into muffin tins. Bake until a wooden pick or skewer comes out clean and edges of cupcakes begin to pull away from sides of pans, 18-20 minutes, depending on your oven. I always use a toothpick to test at the 16 minute mark, then every few minutes after to avoid over baking
- Cool completely before frosting
Toffee Sauce
Adapted from foodnetwork.com
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Combine the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan
- Whisk together and bring to boil, and then simmer gently for a minute or two until thickened and well blended
- Add vanilla extract and stir well. Let cool
Kitchen notes:
- The sauce will thicken when refrigerated
- Refrigerate the extra sauce to use on ice cream or other desserts. It also freezes very well
Recipe for Vanilla Buttercream
To Assemble:
- I used an apple corer to make a hole in the center of each cupcake. Do not touch the bottom or the cupcake structure will fall apart when you take a bite of this delicious cupcake
- Place a small dollop of the cooled caramel sauce in each cupcake
- Frost cupcakes using a 1M Wilton tip or scoop frosting on top of cupcake with an ice cream scooper to get a round look
- Take a fork and drizzle caramel lightly over each cupcake. If you have time and want a more consistent look, you can use a squeeze bottle with a very small tip to drizzle the caramel sauce

George Michael died of natural causes, coroner says
George Michael died of natural causes from dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver, a coroner has said.
The 53-year-old singer was found dead at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day.
Darren Salter, senior coroner for Oxfordshire said: "Inquiries into the death of George Michael have been concluded and the final post-mortem report received.
"As there is a confirmed natural cause of death, being Dilated Cardiomyopathy with Myocarditis and Fatty Liver, the investigation is being discontinued and there is no need for an inquest or any further inquiries.
"No further updates will be provided and the family requests the media and public respect their privacy."

To me, sports is an arcane topic akin to metaphysics; I know it exists as a field of human endeavor and carries great importance to some, but I do not keep abreast of it. As with metaphysics, I would prefer to leave abstract discussion of sports to the deep thinkers.
One such thinker is my colleague, sports columnist Dave Hyde, whose discourse on the topic of the Next Game I read in order to inform myself before conceiving the above cartoon. In his column, he questioned which Miami Heat team would show up Tuesday night to play the San Antonio Spurs. This left me confused, because in my limited grasp of professional basketball, I am aware of the existence of only one Heat team.
Maybe Dave was making a foray into the metaphysical sphere, specifically Cartesian Dualism. There could be a universal Heat team, and a particular Heat team. Or maybe an external, observable Heat team, and a Heat team that exists only in the mind.
The Heat team that exists in the mind of another colleague of mine, real estate writer Paul Owers, is one of arrogance and a sense of entitlement. A longtime Spurs fan, Paul wants his team to win — yet he harbors a healthy and grudging respect for the Heat. He will not be crestfallen if the Heat team wins, because the Heat is a worthy victor, notwithstanding its overweening ego. Besides, NBA pre-season for 2013-2014 probably starts next week, along with all the opportunities it brings to bet anew in office pools, deconstruct bad ref calls, and gossip about the marital infidelities of the players. A Heat victory will, ipso facto, be transitory.

| The Mountain West (Rocky Mountain) climate, terrain, humidity, rainfall, altitudes, length of growing season, and native plants,
are distinctly different than all others.
(Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado). Would it make sense to have a place for us?

Still wouldn't hurt though because I would have a place to put all my multi plant and native plant photos for this climate.

|I noticed this thread and did some quick research.
The "Mountain West" seems to be one of the least populated parts of the NGA members' map. Since you posted your query on a Sunday morning (on a rather historic date in US history - 9/11) perhaps it would be wise to wait a while to see if someone will answer. I'm sure there are several serious gardeners who share you special climate conditions and challenges.

|The Mountain West also has one of the largest birth rates in the US so parents are pretty busy with that. However growing food and fruit gardens are extremely popular in this region for budget purposes...as well as having plenty of growing space per average house.
I've seen enough members from the region kind of wondering through the other regional forums and garden specific forums it just doesn't make sense to me to have a forum for every location in the US but the Mountain West. I just happen to bump into folks from my area while browsing the forums. Would be much nicer to have a place we can go where it doesn't take six months to bump into someone on NGA who lives 15 minutes away ... and we never knew.
But hey... we are used to climbing over mountains to get where we are going so maybe it's character building to make us hunt for each other.

|I really like the idea of a 'Mountain West' regional forum, or something like that, mountains and high plains, intermountain west
Of course, the Rockies are a massive discontinuous series of ranges including our Canadian neighbors and I'd think the western and southern mountain ranges and spurs (technically not rockies but mountainous nonetheless) plus the horsts and grabens should be included--lots of serious gardeners out here, just maybe not hanging out on the web with us just yet
Perhaps it's a build it and they will come sort of thing?
Hmm, it is odd that we don't have have a regional forum, we are a region out here, aren't we? We certainly do have some unique regional challenges to contend with as stated and it would be nice to have a place for us
