A study led by UCLA tested a new performance intervention to help improve adherence to national guideline-recommended therapies for heart failure patients in an outpatient setting.
Heart failure is a chronic, progressive disease that impacts millions and results in substantial morbidity, mortality and the use of significant healthcare resources and costs. Though scientific research and national guidelines have shown the effectiveness of specific therapies, these treatments are still underused.
Although several programs have helped improve heart failure patient care in the hospital, this is the largest performance improvement intervention on the use of national guideline-recommended therapies in an outpatient clinic setting.
Reported in the July 26 online edition of Circulation, the new program provided key interventions including clinical decision support tools, structured improvement strategies, and medical chart audits with feedback to help clinicians better provide heart failure therapies that have been proven to improve patient survival and other clinical outcomes.
"We found substantial, clinically relevant improvement in the number of heart failure patients receiving key treatments after introducing this new performance improvement intervention program at the participating cardiology practices," said first author Dr. Gregg Fonarow, Eliot Corday Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Science and director, Ahmanson-UCLA Cardiomyopathy Center, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
For the study, researchers utilized a new program called the Registry to Improve the Use of Evidence-Based Heart Failure Therapies in the Outpatient Setting (IMPROVE HF) at 167 cardiology practice clinics in the United States. Participants included 34,810 patients diagnosed with a previous heart attack, weakening left heart ventricle function, or chronic heart failure, which is a condition occurring when the heart's left ventricle can no longer pump enough blood to the body's other organs.
The program applied interventions to help ensure that heart failure patients received seven national standard of care level treatments as recommended in heart failure guidelines developed by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
The IMPROVE HF program employed a tool kit to help clinicians make patient care decisions which included educational outreach, performance profiling, reminder systems, practice-specific data, quality of care reports, guideline-based best practice algorithms, standardized encounter forms, checklists, pocket cards and patient chart stickers.
Medical chart reviews performed at baseline before adopting the program and at several points in time up to two years after initiation of the IMPROVE HF program revealed significant improvement in use of five of the seven evidence-based, national guideline-recommended heart failure treatments targeted in the study. Researchers found:
- Beta blocker medication use increased 6.2 percent, up from 86 percent at baseline to 92.2 percent after the interventions.
- Aldosterone antagonist medication use rose 25.1 percent, increasing from 34. 5 to 60.3 percent.
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy, a device to help coordinate the heart's contractions, had a reported increased use of 29.9 percent, up from 37.2 percent at baseline to 66.3 percent.
- Use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator devices, which help regularly pace abnormal heartbeats, increased 27.4 percent, from 50.1 to 77.5 percent.
- Heart failure patient education also rose 12.6 percent, from 59.5 to 72.1 percent.
"We demonstrated increased use of the majority of the guideline-recommended therapies assessed in the study," said Fonarow.
He noted that overall, opportunities to provide national guideline-recommended therapies to eligible patients increased from 68. 4 percent at baseline to 80.1 percent at two years after initiating IMPROVE HF interventions.
According to researchers, this increase is significant, especially given the wide range of cardiology practices across the country included in the study, the majority of which were community based.
"The IMPROVE HF program may help establish a model and framework for future performance-improvement programs administered in an outpatient setting for cardiology practices," added Fonarow.
The demonstration of substantial change in the use of guideline-recommended therapies among practices participating in IMPROVE HF provides direct evidence in support of applying this or programs of similar design nationwide.
Fonarow further noted, "This study suggests that receipt of patient-level performance feedback that is actionable appears to be a particularly important component of heart failure performance improvement efforts. Because IMPROVE HF, with the exception of the practice-specific data collection, utilized existing personnel and resources within each practice, it may be more scalable and sustainable than alternative models to improve outpatient cardiovascular care."
No significant improvements were seen for two of the national guideline treatments used in the study: heart failure medication called angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker or use of an anticoagulation medication for atrial fibrillation.
Researchers suggest that this could be due to physician perceptions, inconvenience associated with monitoring certain drugs or other factors. Further study is needed to explore why usage of these two treatments did not improve.
Medtronic, Inc., a manufacturer of cardiac resynchronization therapy and implantable defibrillator devices, provided financial/material support for the IMPROVE HF registry. The company had no role or input into selection of endpoints or quality measures used in the study.
Outcome Sciences, Inc, a contract research organization, independently performed the practice site chart abstractions for IMPROVE HF, stored the data, and provided benchmarked quality of care reports to practice sites. Outcome Sciences received funding from Medtronic. Individually identifiable practice site data were not shared with either the steering committee or the sponsor.
Fonarow has received honoraria and consultant fees from Medtronic. Additional author financial disclosures are listed in the study manuscript.

You love your shaven head. While other people bother themselves with gobs of shampoo, styling products and combing supplies, you can go about more important things, only fussing about your hair until the next time it actually needs a shave. If you had this Head-Shaving Helmet, that process will require just 20 seconds of your time -- and a whole lot of cojones.
An automatic shaving automaton, the contraption will literally clean your top all on its own. That is, if you're going to trust a sharp object created by some dude named Boris not to leave your scalp scraped and bloodied.
Just put the Head-Shaving Helmet on your hairy noggin like any protective headgear, let the built-in razors do their job and wait 20 seconds. The next time you take it off, your scalp should be clean and naked as the day you were born.
The repurposed motorcycle helmet uses a four-blade array set up along Teflon-coated aluminum rails that slide forwards and backwards under the hood. A shaving cream injector sits around the rear, lubricating the way for the sharp edges to do their job. Action is powered by two servo motors mounted externally, which look like giant headphones sticking out from either side.
You can check the video below to see the Head-Shaving Helmet in action. Judging from what happened, the thing appears to work beautifully, and in record time to boot. Not that I'll actually trust it with my head if you ask me to volunteer -- it sounds scary as all hell.

Despite the guilt parents feel, the decision seems inevitable. There is nothing better than spending time with your babies and toddlers and watch them as they grow. But if that is not possible, here are ways you can be a responsible parent even while leaving your child in the day care centre or with domestic help.
Domestic help
Parents often prefer to keep domestic help to take care of the child when they are away. This way the child is still within the safety of the home, reachable at all times and does not have his routine upset.
Here are few things you may want to ensure while your child is at home.
- Make sure your help knows where the first aid box is kept (of course she should know how to use what's inside)
- Inform her of the times the food has to be prepared and given to your child
- Be strict with your child and your help about TV rules, as most times the help prefers to watch TV herself
- Ensure that both of them know the forbidden areas in your home. Keep some rooms locked in extreme cases.
- Make sure bedtime routines are followed
- Maintain the discipline routine at home even while you are away
- Insist that your help do not eat or drink anything hot with your child in her hand
Day care
If your child is in the day care centre all-day or part of the day, it is a good idea to furnish them with the following details:
- Full name and address
- All contact numbers
- The time you intend to pick up your child
- Person to contact in case of emergency
- Age
- Allergies if any
- Medication or supplements if any, with dosages and written instructions
- Other special instructions
When you go to pick up your child from the centre, ask for feedback on the day. Enquire if he has eaten all meals and slept. Ask for any behavioural problems they may have faced. If you do not personally pick your child up on a daily basis, meet the centre authorities once a week to enquire.
These are some basic things remember while you send your child to a day care centre or hire domestic help. It not only makes things easier for you but also for the person looking after your child.

I would never pick a name for "Likeability" factor, espeically not a "nickname as a given name" (eg Charlie, Alfie, Molly etc - they sound more like pets names than children's names!!)
Maybe I'm unusual I duuno, but it seems very superficial to choose a name for that reason - because its "likeable".
I don't relaly like any of those names. I do like classic names like Charles amd William but I prefer to think of the child actually being named Charles or Wiliam and then being called Charlie/Will as a nickname. That way they can adapt the nickname when they get older.
Emily is pretty but way too popular and I have never been able to take to the name Amy or (Aimee) after meeting several girls of that name who were really not very nice!!! Ellie is also way too popular, especially in the UK these days. If you like Elie why not call your daughter Eleanor/Elisabeth etc and just shorten it to Ellie? She can change it to Liz etc then when she's older if she likes.
I do feel I'm a lone voice here however!

Does the Bible talk about dinosaurs, and what about dragon legends? Check out this MOC Model of the biblical Leviathan to find out!
About this creation
Everybody loves a good monster story. Whether it has fangs, sharp teeth, burning breath, wings, scales, or is simply a blob of slime, we all love the thrill of hearing of creatures unknown and imaginative. But some of these monsters aren't just old stories made to scare young children, but ARE real creatures which one lived on our planet. The Encyclopedia Britannica defines one of these old monsters, the dragon, as a "...legendary monster usually conceived as a huge, bat-winged, fire-breathing, scaly lizard or snake with a barbed tail. The belief in these creatures apparently arose without the slightest knowledge on the part of the ancients of the gigantic, prehistoric, dragon-like reptiles."
But this begs the question, "Did these ancient cultures actually know about these "gigantic, prehistoric, dragon-like reptiles," a.ka. dinosaurs? The famous cosmologist Carl Sagan, once said that, "The pervasiveness of dragon myths in the folk legends of many cultures is probably no accident," though he explained it as being a genetic memory of the dinosaur eras passed down through our mammal/reptile ancestors. Others have claimed, without evidence, that the ancients dug up and reconstructed dinosaur fossils as dragons. But what if these ancient cultures actually lived with dinosaurs? This idea would appear ridiculous to modern scientists due to the belief that dinosaurs and humans never coexisted, but early paleontologists, including the man who coined the word 'dinosaur' (Sir Richard Owen), called these incredible beasts "dragons."
Beyond all of this, the Bible, which claims to be the infallible Word of the Creator God, and is an extremely accurate and ancient record of history; describes "dragons" as being real creatures. In the MOC model below, you will see and read the longest description of any animal recorded in the Bible, Leviathan, an amazing sea-dragon used by God to call the patriarch Job to His knees in awe and wonder.
Job Chapter 41 records this description amongst the descriptions of other real animals, "Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or snare his tongue with a line which you lower? Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook? Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you? Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens? Will your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants? Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears? Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle—Never do it again! Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him? No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me? Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine."
With such a description, it is clear that the Bible is not talking about an allegorical creature or is using symbolism for the devil. Job was obviously familiar with this monster and its abilities. This Leviathan is a real creature of flesh and blood with strength and notoriety unmatched by any other creature throughout the ancient world. In fact, this creature may have even been the inspiration for the Canaanite's fable of "Baal and Lotan." From this passage, we see that this monster was unable to be tamed or overcome because of its fierceness and strength. This would deem the common Bible footnote definition as a crocodile inappropriate, as many stores sell crocodile heads for gifts or crocodile-skin boots. Crocodile Hunter battled crocodiles over and over and over, which would thus refute God's challenge if Leviathan was indeed a crocodile. This better matches the description of various "prehistoric" sea creatures, such as the Kronosaurus, Mosasaurus, or other pliosaurs. Of course, if Job knew of these creatures, then they were not prehistoric.
"I will not conceal his limbs, his mighty power, or his graceful proportions." - The flippers of various marine reptiles were often up to several feet long and would have been a sight to behold as they would paddle these monsters slowly and graciously, like a sea turtle.
"Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach him with a double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face, With his terrible teeth all around? His rows of scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a seal; One is so near another that no air can come between them; they are joined one to another, they stick together and cannot be parted." - The fossil skull of one such marine reptile, named Predator X, is said to have a bite 4-times more powerful than T. Rex! This monster also has razor-sharp, serrated teeth almost a foot long! These would have kept even the bravest warriors from even daring to engage in combat with Leviathan. Also, the description of scales takes away the possibility of a shark or a whale.
"His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth." - This verse throws the "possible" definition of crocodile into the fire, if you pardon the pun. You might say that this verse renders this monster mythical or allegorical, but please consider the feats of many other animals. The bombardier beetle has two glands in its abdomen which secrete chemicals, which when mixed, create an explosion of liquid fire to eject from a small, rotatable cannon! Also consider, the skunk, the spitting cobra, the salt-sneezing marine iguanas, and the electric eel! If we were to find the fossils of any such creatures without knowing their features, most would laugh at such ideas. At this point, we cannot tell directly from the fossils what features the dinosaurs or marine reptiles had, so we cannot be 100% sure of what they had. Maybe the marine reptiles had glands like that of the bombardier beetle?
"Strength dwells in his neck, and sorrow dances before him. The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved. His heart is as hard as stone, even as hard as the lower millstone. When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; because of his crashings they are beside themselves. Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; Nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. Darts are regarded as straw; he laughs at the threat of javelins." - This description once again brings to mind the legends of sea-serpents and monsters which were encountered by the vikings and sailors of the middle ages. We know from fossils that many marine reptiles, namely the plesiosaur kind, had incredibly long necks which would have terrified the sea-goers of the time. It is also likely (though soft parts are not as commonly fossilized) that these marine reptiles had tough, scaly skin like armor, much like modern crocodiles.
"His undersides are like sharp potsherds; he spreads pointed marks in the mire. He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment." - Though Leviathan's flames would have been surely muffled by the water while swimming, he could have heated up the water with his mouth or with his sneezes. His tough underbelly would have left marks in the water as he dragged on the ground near the shore.
"He leaves a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair." - Though it can't be used as conclusive evidence, many of the recent reports of sea and lake monsters (which are often described like aquatic reptiles such as Plesiosaurus) involve rising humps followed by a mysterious wake.
"On earth there is nothing like him, which is made without fear. He beholds every high thing; he is king over all the children of pride." - As Proverbs 16:18 says, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Such was the demise of the dinosaurs and the other reptiles such as Leviathan, which are now extinct. Likely, the world after the Flood was very different and didn't support the dinosaurs very well or they were hunted by man (remember that every dragon legend ends in the dragon's death), and thus their population was diminished until they eventually went extinct like other animals do.
What lesson can we learn from this? Well, the first one is that the Bible can help us to make sense of the world around us, even in the areas of fossils and dinosaurs. It can be trusted even if the scientists say otherwise (remember that scientists were not there to observe, test, or repeat the "age of the dinosaurs") The second is that we are to humbly submit ourselves to our Creator, as Job did after seeing the Leviathan. Job declared, "I know that thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholden from thee...wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." After this, God restored Job all that He had given Him, and gave him even more. We, likewise, in order to be saved from the punishment of our sin, which is death both physically and spiritually, we need to humbly come before God and confess that we have sinned, and repent, believing that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross to pay the penalty for our sin, and that God raised Him from the dead. Then you receive God's free gift of salvation and eternal life. (Romans 10:9, John 3:16)

Wow, another christian themed moc sort of!!! Interesting take on Job, but I'm pretty sure Job is a morality tale, but I'm sure you know that. Anyway, Incredible moc. Keep on moccing!
Thanks for your encouraging comments. Actually, there are good biblical reasons to believe that Job is not a parable or a fictional account. First, the land of Uz (Job's homeland) is referred to as a real place in Jeremiah 25:20, Lamentations 4:21. Uz was also the name of one of the descendants of Shem, as recorded in Genesis 10 and 1 Chronicles 1, who was likely the progenitors of those who lived (and gave name to) the land of Uz. However, the most compelling reason for believing that Job was a real person is the fact that Job is spoken of as being a real person in Ezekiel 14:14, 20, and James 5:11. I would encourage you to look up those verses and study for yourself the context of those passages. Thanks again for commenting!

nice underwater details! I like the waves, try using white tooth pieces for splashes.
Thank you! I actually got the idea for the water from the LEGO Ideas Book, ironically from one model that wasn't even featured. I would have used the white tooth pieces for waves, if it weren't for the fact that I used nearly all of the white tooth pieces in the Leviathan's teeth or for my (upcoming) T. Rex skeleton model. Thanks for the advice. - Caleb

Apple is quite comfy selling high end smartphones at a solid profit, and feels no need to venture deeper into the low end of the smartphone market, according to Citigroup analyst Richard Gardner. The long-time Apple analyst and other Citigroup analysts met with Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer and released his thoughts on that meeting in a research note to clients.
"We did not get the impression that Apple feels a burning need to move down-market in smartphones, but rather that the company believes consumer preference will continue to gravitate toward the more capable devices that Apple currently produces," the firm said in its research note.
This is a repetition of Apple's oft-stated belief that it will focus not on profits, but rather on building great products. This position was first advanced by the late Steve Jobs and has been iterated and reiterated by Tim Cook, Peter Oppenheimer, and other Apple execs over the years.
At issue in the smartphone market is whether or not Apple could gain more market share by offering cheaper iPhones with fewer features or less impressive specs. Apple has heretofore declined to do so, and instead has used older iPhone models being sold for a lower price to address the entry level of the market. Citigroup apparently believes this will continue to be the case.
Mr. Cook also took the opportunity of the meeting to repeat that he believes tablet sales will eventually eclipse the sale of new PCs, something that is already the case at Apple itself. Apple sold more than 15 million iPads in the December quarter, and in the same period the company sold slightly more than five million Macs, which was itself a record high.
Richard Gardner's take is that Apple believes its iPad is not only taking traditional PC sales, it will be more than enough to fend off Microsoft's upcoming (and first serious) foray into the media tablet market, Windows 8.
"We have wondered whether Apple might offer an ARM-based version of the MacBook Air at some point," Mr. Gardner wrote. "We walked away from this meeting with the impression that Apple feels iPad satisfies—or will soon satisfy—the needs of those who might have been interested in such a product."
We'll add that this is precisely what Apple said about the netbook market, though at the time it didn't name the iPad, which hadn't yet been released. At that time, company execs scoffed at the idea that netbooks made anyone happy and hinted that Apple was already addressing some netbook demand with the iPod touch and the iPhone. It went on to address the market not with its own cheap netbook, but with the iPad.
We'd extrapolate that Apple intends to expand the iPad product or the product line with features it believes will keep it ahead of Microsoft's Windows 8 platform.
The other key part of Citigroup's research note concerned China, where Apple said that 12% of revenue in fiscal 2011 originated. This represents a 600 percent increase from 2009, but Mr. Cook told Citigroup that the company is "just scratching the surface" of the fast growing market.
Mr. Gardner believes that a deal with China Mobile, the world's largest wireless carrier, will be announced in 2012, a move that could dramatically increase Apple's iPhone sales in the country. He also believes that expanding Apple's retail presence in China will be a top priority for Apple's new head of retail, John Browett.
Mr. Gardner maintained his "Buy" rating on the stock and a $600 price target.
Shares of AAPL moved higher in the late afternoon session. As of this writing, the stock was trading at US$459.15, a gain of $4.03 (+0.89%), on light volume.

Slithery Titans receiver Wright shows his speed
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kendall Wright is on the move for the Tennessee Titans with coach Ken Whisenhunt calling the plays.
The slithery receiver has worked so much from the slot his first two seasons in Tennessee that his speed has been overlooked.
Clocked running a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, Wright disputes that number. He says his best recorded time is 4.36, and he's confident if given a chance to sprint against anyone running a 4.4 or 4.3. He claims he's just as fast as teammate Justin Hunter.
"If you're running down the sideline and you just flat out-run somebody, they'll be like, "You're fast,'" Wright said. "You don't have to be fast to outrun somebody. It's just proper technique.
"Some people like Justin are real fast. Me coming in the middle, you can't see that I'm the same speed as Justin because I'm going in and out of traffic. I can't break up out of it.
"This year I plan on breaking a little more of those tackles, trying to get loose and go score, and I'll show everybody how fast I am."
Wright has been pretty successful since the Titans selected him in the first round out of Baylor in 2012. His 158 catches are the most in franchise history in a player's first two seasons, and he caught a career-best 94 passes for 1,079 yards last season even with the Titans using two quarterbacks.
Now Whisenhunt is in charge, and the man who plans on calling the plays for Tennessee sees a receiver in Wright who has changed since he took over in January.
Whisenhunt said he thinks Wright has matured a little bit, plus the coach has given the receiver more responsibility. Whisenhunt also plans to move Wright around a lot, too.
"He can do a lot of different things," Whisenhunt said. "We're going to try to put him in situations where we can explode that. He's an explosive player, good hands, he's got good vision. I really like what I've seen."
Wright is confident, but Whisenhunt has been more impressed by the receiver's discipline working on improving his releases and route running.
"All the little things that I think it takes to be a good player, he's shown," Whisenhunt said. "He's doing that day in and day out, and that's important."
Last season, the Titans gave Wright more freedom to freelance within the offense and find open spots on the field. Now Wright's being asked to get to specific spots on the field, with quarterback Jake Locker expecting him there when the ball arrives.
The ideal result is Wright having more chances to run with the ball, such as when he got behind the defense for a pass he took to the end zone on Wednesday.
Locker said he sees the talented player who works hard becoming a leader among the receivers. Wright doesn't talk much, but he's a physical and intense player.
Locker thinks this offense, even with the timing required on certain routes, will be make Wright an even better player and tougher for defenses to match up against.
"You can still see how explosive, how dynamic of a player he is, even when he's playing within those perimeters," Locker said.
Wright is just enjoying the schemes Whisenhunt has brought to Tennessee.
"Whatever he has in store, I'm going to be ready for it whenever he throws it at us or wants us to do it," Wright said. "That's why I'm just working on staying explosive and getting better."

So by default your obviously going to be wrong if you debate against mainstream science, as if you were some religion complaining science doesn't know it all. The fact is you're defending pseudoscience, what do you expect to accomplish in a debate if that's what you're defending?
i have no choice but to assume that either your so close minded that no counter proposal will ever shift your view. Or you simply cant accept that you may be wrong.
I'll accept i'm wrong when the scientific evidence is presented. Saying i'm close minded when i'll only accept scientific evidence doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If there really are aliens visiting us then there should surely be scientific evidence of it, regardless whether i wan't to believe it.

From Ribbon-Cuttings and Ship-Launching to Online Resources
With little doubt, we all desire to help Vermont students reach their full potential and we hope to develop the best possible workforce for our state. And, if we share ideas and support each other, I believe that we — educators, parents, businesspeople, elected and appointed officials, volunteers and philanthropists, alike — can make this a reality.
For over forty years my late husband and I had the good fortune to be able to team up to support, first as volunteers and later as lead donors, many visionary and worthwhile programs that continue to benefit our fellow Vermonters. Often, we structured our giving in the form of matching gifts in order to encourage community involvement and to spread the word about good work being accomplished. Then in 1995, Mac and I launched our foundation within the Vermont Community Foundation to help perpetuate our philanthropic commitment to improve health and education in our state and to preserve our amazing Vermont heritage.
In 2007 the J. Warren and Lois McClure Foundation began investing heavily in the future of our state by focusing our emphasis on postsecondary education and aligning this with employment opportunities for Vermont students. We are working closely with the Community Foundation to help answer this question: "Why does Vermont have one of the highest rates of high school graduation in the country, but one of the lowest rates of graduates going directly on to college?" As you can imagine, the answer is not simple. Our research shows that the high cost of college is not the only challenge Vermonters face. In many cases students cannot visualize being the first in their families to attend college. Other students, though high school graduates, don't feel they are actually prepared for college-level academics. Many cannot seem to make the connection between college studies and subsequent jobs and careers.
To address some of these issues, over the past five years we have built on the "best practices" discovered in the course of our research. We've also developed a "Most Promising Pathways" initiative, which was introduced to assist our Vermont heroes returning from service in Iraq and Afghanistan to ensure they are afforded opportunities to grow and prosper now that they are back home. In addition, we've worked to bring together folks in education, government, business and philanthropy at a fall forum in order to work together toward better alignment of Vermont's Pre-Kindergarten through Post-High School educational offerings, so that more Vermonters can reach their full potential and so that the skill level of our workforce can attract exciting new businesses to the state. If you have an interest in joining us, please contact the Vermont Community Foundation's Peter Espenshade, whose phone number is at the bottom of this web page.
Now we are sharing our work in a more public way through these new web pages, in the hope that more people will understand the challenges and the potential for success in the areas of education and workforce development. It is a pleasure and an honor to welcome you to the resources we have gathered on this website!

Monday, October 21, 2013 • Odessa, TX 79765
So many women today are so fearful of "bulking up" and becoming "too muscular" that they oftentimes avoid the weight machines, barbells and dumbbells completely. Women feel more comfortable and less intimidated using the cardiovascular equipment and you can usually find the majority of the females in the gym running on the treadmills, biking on the recumbent bicycle or striding away on the elliptical machine. Cardiovascular exercise is essential in your journey to wellness and health; however weightlifting has many unmatched benefits. Weightlifting is essential for women of all ages. Naturally as we age muscle mass is lost. How can we counteract this? Resistance training is proven to prevent osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity and the loss of muscle on your body. Weightlifting helps improve balance and stability and helps in preventing falling due to the increased strength you gain by building muscle. Weight training also helps increase your metabolic rate, or the amount of calories burned while resting. The more muscle mass your body has in comparison to fat mass the greater your metabolic rate will become. In essence, this aids in speeding up your metabolism and burning fat. So weightlifting doesn't "bulk you up" but helps to lean you out due to your increased metabolism. Never lifted weights before? That's ok! Remember some of these key components to staying safe yet being effective. -Never sacrifice form or technique so that you can add more weight. -As you begin an exercise program, try completing 8-10 strength exercises that work the large muscle groups throughout your entire body. -If you are just beginning and are brand new to exercise start with your bodyweight or very little additional weight. Again, technique is more critical than the amount of weight you are lifting. -Allow yourself recovery time in between your sets prior to beginning your next exercise. -Remember to breathe throughout your repetitions. Holding your breath throughout exercise can lead to an increase in your blood pressure. -If you still feel uncomfortable you could hire a trainer to get you on the right path in starting your new strength program. So what's the key? Pick up the weights! Don't be afraid to challenge your body in new ways. No matter your size, shape or age weightlifting will benefit you. Help yourself by fighting the loss of muscle mass, the prevention of osteoporosis and obesity and becoming the strong woman that you are! Undoubtedly, you will love the results and the change in how you feel, how you look and your overall wellness.

Hi All,
I am new to this board. I will be starting IVF for the first time this month. I start the Synarel Nasal spray on Jan. 24 and then Bravelle and Repronex on Feb. 3.
My history:
Son born 5-28-02 - conceived naturally. He was a true miracle!
Have since had 9 miscarriages the past 3 1/2 years. Went through numerous tests and it was discover that I have a balanced chromosome translocation. This seems to be the cause of my miscarriages. The doctors have said that it is amazing that I was able to have my son.
I will now be doing IVF in addition to PGD on the embryos so only those that are healthy will be transferred back. Being that I am 26 years old, the doctor said he would only transfer 2 at the most.
I am very nervous, but looking forward to the whole process!
Is there anyone that has also had PGD in addition to the IVF?

"Towering above the countryside, with vines growing on its lower slopes, was the ominous shape of Vesuvius, like me it smoked heavily. At night, from my bed, I could see the purple-red glow from its throat, it looked magnificent. At one time it had looked so to those doomed people, the Pompeians, but I wasn't a Pompeian, I was Irish, how could Vesuvius wipe out Dublin? No, I was perfectly safe, but Vesuvius wasn't. I discovered that Pompeii was but three miles as the crow flies. This incredible relic of a Roman city free of camera-clicking tourists was a situation I had to thank Hitler for. Thank you, Hitler!"
