Most people who have radial keratotomy (RK) surgery
gradually become more farsighted for at least 8 to 10 years after surgery. This
is called the hyperopic shift. It is not clear what causes
the shift, how long it may continue, or how significant it may become.
The effect of the hyperopic shift depends on the person's age and whether
the person is nearsighted or farsighted after the surgery:

On 4 May, he developed fever and on 7 May tested positive for MERS-CoV by PCR. Currently, he is in a stable condition. He had contact with a previously confirmed case in the hospital: a health-care worker (a 39 year-old female) reported to WHO on the 11 May 2014. He has no history of contact with animals and no history of consumption of raw camel products.
- A 26 year-old male in Abu Dhabi. He was detected through general screening at his workplace on 7 May without any history of contact to a laboratory confirmed MERS-CoV case. He tested positive for MERS-CoV by PCR on 8 May 2014. While asymptomatic at the time of screening, the investigation revealed that he had mild cough on 1 May 2014. He has no comorbidities and no travel history. He had contact with animals (cows and sheep but not camels), but has no history of consumption of raw camel products. He was admitted to hospital for isolation on 8 May and discharged on 14 May.

His condition deteriorated and he was admitted to hospital on 7 May with high grade fever and developed breathing difficulty. On 9 May, he tested positive for MERS-CoV by PCR. He recovered and was discharged on 12 May. He is known to have comorbidities, but reported no contact with a laboratory confirmed MERS-CoV case and has no travel history. He also has no contact with animals and no history of consumption of raw camel products.
Contact investigations are ongoing and further information will be communicated when available.
Globally, 635 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV have officially been reported to WHO, including 193 deaths. This global total includes all of the cases reported in this update, plus 17 laboratory confirmed cases officially reported to WHO by Saudi Arabia between 16 and 18 May. WHO is working closely with Saudi Arabia for additional information on these cases and will provide further updates as soon as possible.
WHO advice
Based on the current situation and available information, WHO encourages all Member States to continue their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and to carefully review any unusual patterns.
Infection prevention and control measures are critical to prevent the possible spread of MERS-CoV in health care facilities. Health-care facilities that provide for patients suspected or confirmed to be infected with MERS-CoV infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus from an infected patient to other patients, health-care workers and visitors. Health-care workers should be educated, trained and refreshed with skills on infection prevention and control.
It is not always possible to identify patients with MERS-CoV early because some have mild or unusual symptoms. For this reason, it is important that health-care workers apply standard precautions consistently with all patients – regardless of their diagnosis – in all work practices all the time.
Droplet precautions should be added to the standard precautions when providing care to all patients with symptoms of acute respiratory infection. Contact precautions and eye protection should be added when caring for probable or confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection. Airborne precautions should be applied when performing aerosol generating procedures.
Patients should be managed as potentially infected when the clinical and epidemiological clues strongly suggest MERS-CoV, even if an initial test on a nasopharyngeal swab is negative. Repeat testing should be done when the initial testing is negative, preferably on specimens from the lower respiratory tract.
Health-care providers are advised to maintain vigilance. Recent travellers returning from the Middle East who develop SARI should be tested for MERS-CoV as advised in the current surveillance recommendations. All Member States are reminded to promptly assess and notify WHO of any new case of infection with MERS-CoV, along with information about potential exposures that may have resulted in infection and a description of the clinical course. Investigation into the source of exposure should promptly be initiated to identify the mode of exposure, so that further transmission of the virus can be prevented.
People at high risk of severe disease due to MERS-CoV should avoid close contact with animals when visiting farms or barn areas where the virus is known to be potentially circulating. For the general public, when visiting a farm or a barn, general hygiene measures, such as regular hand washing before and after touching animals, avoiding contact with sick animals, and following food hygiene practices, should be adhered to.
WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event nor does it currently recommend the application of any travel or trade restrictions.

Talking Gold Cup — '91 U.S. champs, Landon Donovan's return, Mexico's trouble — with Marcelo Balboa
The 1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup was a remarkable tournament in the Western Hemisphere. The northern half of the hemisphere had played out a tournament before then, but the Gold Cup by name was born that year.
It was also a big jump forward for the United States. Marcelo Balboa captained the U.S. squad to the Gold Cup title that year, scoring twice, taking a red card against Costa Rica, then bouncing back to add a penalty for the Americans' in a shootout victory in the final against Honduras.
With the Gold Cup returning to Denver on Sunday at Sports Authority Field — when Mexico faces Martinique and Panama goes against Canada — Balboa talked about the '91 tournament, the deepening trouble for Mexico's national team, and Landon Donovan's return to the U.S. side.

Welcome to our new web site!
To give our readers a chance to experience all that our new website has to offer, we have made all content freely available, through August 1, 2019.
During this time, print and digital subscribers will not need to log in to view our stories or e-editions.
The days between October 31 and January 1 are my favorite days of the year. I stop short of naming holidays, because there is so much going on at this time that these days mesh into one great big season of smiles. This is the most exciting time of the year, and yet it can also be the most stressful. But cool heads can prevail, especially in our current society where blended families are more the norm.
I remember being a kid growing up in a big "blended" household with all the comings and goings of family and friends. Mom referred to our Brooklyn home as "Grand Central Station." We lived in a three-story Queen Anne in Flatbush, NY with Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jo, Aunt Ellie, Uncle Charlie, siblings Kathy, Ken, (me), Mike and Jean, plus a boxer named Hansel. We were crowded in the beginning, but as time moved on and people moved out, we gained some elbow room.
During holiday dinner celebrations, we all squeezed in around the table—somehow. Yes, we had a kids' table, which at times was in my grandmother's bedroom. I say, "blended" because my older sister and brother are my half-siblings, but there is nothing half about them in our eyes. Because they are 10 and 12 years older, there was a big "idol" factor in our minds when it came to Kathy and Ken.
I remember being a snot-nosed 10-year-old, getting the crap beat out of me by "Lumpy" in the schoolyard. Then some kid said, "Hey, that's Orbsie's little brother!"Suddenly "Lumpy" picked me up by my collar and asked, "Are you his little brother? And if so, why yous got different last names?"
"'Cause his dad died, and my dad married his mom," I blurted out, spitting the dust from my lips. He brushed me off and told me to tell my brother Ken, "This was a big mistake." (Yes, Ken had a reputation in the schoolyard that saved my butt that day.)
I hate the term "step" brother, sister, son or daughter—mother and father for that matter, too. There is a connotation to that term "step" that makes me feel as if we are illegitimate. Fast forward 40 years, I have a "blended" family of my own, and I still struggle with the term. Our kids have used the term, "brother by another mother," which about sums it up and puts a smile on our faces. I once had a "discussion" with the youngest, who reminded me, "you're not my dad," to which I agreed and reminded him he had a perfectly good dad, and would he like me to call him?
Raising a family is never easy. With the bumps in the road comes the joy of seeing everyone grow into his or her own.
Christmas in particular is my favorite holiday, and it's because of the kid in me and the joy of having kids around me. After my first marriage ended and Evelyn and I married, it became clear early on that to keep the peace there would be compromises. The "every-other-holiday rule" eventually morphed into a realization that Christmas Day would be celebrated on the day the kids found their way back to our home. We supplement the holiday season now with traditions like "Cookie Pallooza," a weekend of making cookies to share with friends and the other parent as well.
It is really important to validate the other parent. Once the "War of the Roses" is over, there needs to be peace in the home. Validating the other parent is key in my book; these gestures are the "ties that bind." They reinforce to the kids that if parents can get along, they are still loved. Today's kids know the reality of divorce more than we realize, and the more normal we adults can make it the better. Heck, there will be plenty of graduations, soccer games, plays, funerals, more graduations, throw in a wedding or two, and you get my point. From the kids' perspective, they want Mom and Dad—period. They will tolerate the significant others as long as it's Mom and Dad first, which is not all that bad if you think about it.
Sometimes it's appropriate for the significant other to step back and let the "nuclear" family be, without fear or jealousy, remembering it's about the kids. Don't get me wrong, I am speaking from my experience here, and I am no expert by far, just another guy trying to figure this all out.
On a few occasions, Evelyn and I decided to reach out and invite everyone from each family to our celebrations. It seems the barbeques worked the best, when there was plenty of room to walk about. We also did have a "blended" Thanksgiving dinner one year, and I must say it went well. If the discussions revolve around the kids (or pets) it seems that things roll smoothly. This single event helped to smooth the feathers for future gatherings of the kids' celebrations.
There are issues to be considered, and there are plenty of suggestions online for how to pull this off. Here are a few tips from me: Don't take the bait when comments are made; don't forget to breathe; and before you make a comment, look into the eyes of your child—they will be looking into yours.
I will leave you with a quote from Mrs. Doubtfire:
"Oh, my Dear. You know, some parents get along much better when they don't live together. They don't fight all the time, and they can become better people. Much better mommies and daddies for you. And sometimes they get back together. And sometimes they don't, Dear. And if they don't... don't blame yourself. Just because they don't love each other doesn't mean that they don't love you.
"There are all sorts of different families. Some families have one mommy, some families have one daddy, or two families. Some children live with their uncle or aunt. Some live with their grandparents, and some children live with foster parents. Some live in separate homes and neighborhoods, in different areas of the country.
"They may not see each other for days, weeks, months or even years at a time. But if there's love, Dear, those are the ties that bind. And you'll have a family in your heart forever. All my love to you, Poppet. You're going to be all right.

4 Stages of Business Growth
first Stage-Initiation:
There might be varied causes of a company start-up however the primary values in running the company have individuals who're the founders. We are able to observe that company exhibits the primary skills from the founder in the spirits, for instance, when the founder is definitely an engineer, he'll highlight being produced instead of marketing and advertising which shouldn't be neglected. Primary attempts are dedicated to the acceptability from the product on the market. When the owner can offer the requirements of economic i.e. time, energy, and finances, he/she will proceed to the 2nd stage. Otherwise, he/she'll have to find yourself their business as there's short time for the organization to remain at one stage. Here the primary focus changes to determine the organization and produce profits. With this particular financial push company will have to formalize the machine and begin documentation, an unskilled manager can't handle all of this. Following this, you will see interest in alternation in administration's style due to elevated activity in the business.
second Stage-Growth:
As soon as a business progresses towards the expansion stage it will be able to earn a good profit, however that profit will not go near the dog owner. It is because it will likely be invested in the industry to be able to help in the main city demands of the organization. It relates to here we are at coordinating functional managing activities it relates to complicated business structure mainly concentrating on functional lines. Now development and research is going to be established to be able to increase range of products. In the beginning, it will likely be on the smaller sized scale due to insufficient capital. If management continues altering its atmosphere, the organization can remain at this time for a while. Oftentimes, proprietors sell their business at this time for substantial benefits. The rise of recent markets and product requires more finances. This stage faces bigger competitors who deal the problem by putting force on emerging firm this stress could be by means of really low prices too. At this time over buying and selling may be the greatest threat otherwise handled correctly it may lead the company to demise. As the organization grows it have to extend geographical buying and selling and distribution, so 'supervised supervision' is going to be needed at this time. If new competitors go into the market and also the owner really wants to maintain his shares, he will need to put more capital by themself or attract some partners.
3rd Stage-Expansion:
This stage demands proper management reports, budget control, and spread authority, plus a formal accounting system. Fundamental adaptation at this time is to systemize administrative roles that are secrets of survival through this stage. The development stage demands stable lengthy term funds which is important and when there's not arrange for partners this stage should be considered at this time. Although retained salary is major types of funds but dividends would be the special attraction towards the investors at this time they are inevitable. Now company's history can help in gaining lengthy term loans but the organization will need to give security by means of assets.
fourth Stage-Maturity:
At this time primary issues have to do with expense control, look for growth possibilities and productivity. The direction of authority could be towards functional lines or it's reorganized with production lines. As there's severe cost competition, therefore, productions department ought to be the center of focus and government bodies should highlight on innovative moves towards betterment.
Now fundamental investments have been in marketing and advertising struggles and maintenance and plant up gradation. The organization matures to an amount that earnings will tackle this but from time to time more lengthy term load end up being an assistance. Only at that level firm may limit its operations or move ahead, normally acquisition or floatation in order to be a sizable corporation.
Top Business Trends You Must Keep in Mind
You may already know, we reside in an atmosphere where it's "blink," and also you missed it. Still, almost always there is a sudden have to keep on the top of what's happening to be able to stay ahead running a business. I own several companies and, openly, I do not think there is a day I am not thinking on how to make things better and improve our competitive advantage within our industries.
A few days ago I just read articles in regards to a luxury yacht company that were running a business for generations, and even though they'd client orders on hands, within the millions of dollars, they fired everybody and shuddered their doorways. These were loss of blood money and never having to pay focus on the altering winds.
In fact I'm able to sit here today and write what you would like to become searching for running a business trends along with year from now, write exactly the same kind of article with various suggestions to keep close track of as business and society evolve. Still, there are several areas which i think will stay constant and settled to inside your company.
Always Pay Extra Focus on Millennials
For many years and decades, the "darling" of generations were the infant Boomers due to their sheer size and purchasing power. Because the Boomers are actually seniors, exactly the same could be stated about Millennials. They'll be, and are already, a pressure for many years and they're the very first generation that's pure digital natives. Your services and products ought to be marketed for them and just how they believe. By 2020, Millennials may have an believed $1.4 trillion in spending power.
Get Confident With AI, IoT, and ML
What was once buzzwords for example AI, IoT, and ML, aren't any longer. They aren't the long run those are the present. The majority of you understand AI (Artificial intelligence), IoT (Internet of products), but perhaps you have not learned about ML (Machine Learning). Machine learning happens when computers do things without having to be programmed to get it done since they're learning it on their own. Through machine learning, we're given self-driving cars, excellent web search tools, practical speech recognition programs and a number of other platforms. As technology evolves, many of these elements will have an increased part in existence and business.
Remote Workforce
I've got a preference in my team to become onsite, however for some functions and facets of our work, these components are outsourced. Presently 40% plus of yankee personnel are doing a bit of work remotely, without getting to become present in their office constantly. This trend creates interest in adequately training remote employees through interactive video platforms, specifically for social networking and programming positions. Everything is needed is really a computer and Internet.
Work Through the Clutter
How you brand your company is essential. Individuals are drowning in information and data, and you need to be in a position to cut towards the chase immediately. Branding, which encompasses the name, emblem, etc., creates instant identification. With excellent branding, you're regarded as an expert, effective and reliable since you take notice of the details. Plus it makes prospecting simpler. Customers help you find. You are able to hire better talent. Candidates seek you out of trouble instead of searching to try to get a situation by having an unknown company. Due to branding, it's simpler to produce more companies underneath the same name.
Chance Exists in purchasing Companies
There are other companies for purchase because of the retirement of the people Boomer and Millennials is going to be buying them after which reinventing the businesses they're buying. Look out for the competition due to there being always an chance in searching to purchase a current competitor. For example, you can purchase all of their clientele, or possibly they have excelled in e-commerce, and you are in a position to bring that to your portfolio. I have effectively purchased a number of my competitors, and it is only helped my companies grow.
The Business Tool That Helps You Understand How Your Employees Are Feeling
Certainly one of my personal favorite articles to create is all about technology that's available to create companies more lucrative. A few days ago I had been doing research and discovered TINYpulse. The concept is ingenious, even though openly, my team has not tried on the extender, it really is something to think about sooner or later lower the road.
The very best business teams operate with employees which are working in their optimum level. There has been numerous books and articles discussed leadership theory and management, and lots of what's out there's excellent. But, technologies are now area of the picture. Based on TINYpulse, this is what it is all about:
TINYpulse finds out the way your workers are feeling, and performing
Measure how happy, frustrated, or burnt-your workers are, and gain real-time worker feedback to produce a company culture you may be happy with.
After I discovered it, admittedly, I had been intrigued. Based on the website, over 1,000 companies use their product, including Michelin, HubSpot, Deloitte and Capital One. Yet another plus on their behalf is they have produced a group culture where they donate time towards the company's community, their product to nonprofits as well as some of the profits to charitable organizations.
Product Metrics
The TINYpulse products allow companies and nonprofits to know worker engagement over the continuum of the team member's presence within their organization.
Onboarding:While using tool, organizations can know how new team people are integrating in to the business as well as their roles.
Recognition: The merchandise helps groups to produce a culture of peer-to-peer recognition, which assists in building morale and gratifaction.
Exit: Companies and nonprofits possess the chance to understand why team people leave, and due to the understanding acquired, organizations can easily see how you can retain top performers.
Performance: The tool enables managers to watch and coach their teams to greater amounts of performance potential.
How TINYpulse Works
Most managers realize that worker articles are old and tired. Actually, many promising small to medium companies don't make use of them because they do not provide managers information with an ongoing basis. Articles are just an overview of the moment. The TINYpulse team understood this and made the decision to produce a product which wasn't static but instead dynamic and continuing. Additionally, they created a tool that searched for to transform surveys from work teams.
In performing their research, they found that listening was one element of high-performing teams, but there is another thing which was missing in the equation, that was recognition and appreciation. Individuals need to believe that the work they do is valued which they are a part of something larger than just themselves.
To complete these high goals, TINYpulse recognized that they to capture the totality from the worker experience, as soon as team people first joined the audience towards the time that every left the business and all things in between.
If you wish to gain in insights regarding your team, TINYpulse might be something that you should consider for the organization as well as your team.
Four Tips To Pick A Reliable Courier Service Provider For Your Business
Nowadays, high-quality production and efficient workers are insufficient to outlive hard-hitting business atmosphere. Business houses have to be the quickest with regards to delivering the ultimate goods. The faster your product or service achieve the marketplace, the greater will probably be your profit. Hence, depending exclusively around the company's labor sources for either transporting the recycleables or disbursing the ultimate products wouldn't be a good decision to pursue by production manager.
Entrusting the task of delivering your goods to some mail provider won't make certain an inconvenience-free production but probably assist you to concentrate only around the core manufacturing processes. However, before you decide to select any random mail provider for business deliveries, make certain the particular vendor is the right decision. But exactly how?
Listed here are 4 necessary things to consider before continuing to move forward with any mail provider:
#1 Availability on one call
In case your company sets limitations on its availabilities for choosing your parcels or products, you will want to state no and begin seeking a more sensible choice. A dependable courier clients are one that is instantly accessible 24*7 and it has several local delivery branches. If we have an efficient chain of agents you'll be able to be assured that you may have on-time delivery of the products.
#2 Be aware of weight limit ahead of time
The majority of the occasions providers don't clarify the utmost weight of parcels they are able to deliver. This creates lots of confusion during the time of packaging and final delivery. Thus, you ought to clarify the limitation from the package weight prior to signing the ultimate agreement.
#3 Capability to track your delivery
Since personal time management is easily the most dominant factor while production, any type of delay and insufficient use of delivery updates are totally unacceptable. Because the customer, you will be able to get minute-to-minute updates of the parcels. Tracking your delivery via application, website, email or phone can help you be aware of exact time whenever your product is going to be delivered.
#4 Get insurance for the package
Insuring your deliverables is must to make sure that even just in worst situation in case your package is broken, is misplaced or gets lost, you are able to claim for that loss. Also, when a business provides insurance for the package, its accountability in your direction is ensured and you will know your product or service have reached safe hands.
Within this tough competitive business community, managing everything single-handedly beginning from purchasing raw material, manufacturing goods to delivering the ultimate goods is close to impossible. Based on business experts, managers should delegate the job of transporting their final products to some courier company and concentrate on other important business functions. However, one should compare and evaluate first to pick the right company for his business.
Using Custom Printed Products So As to Build Your Small Business
Starting a business is one of the hardest times that anyone can go through. This is especially true when you have never tried it before. As such, you need to market your brand and take it out there so that people can know who you are and the products that you are dealing in.
There are many ways in which you can reach your target audience. Making people aware of your goods and services is one of hardest things today in today's world. However, there are many means in which you can apply so as to sensitize people about your brand.
One method that is widely used today is having custom printed products. There are different types of products that you can go for in this case. You can use car air fresheners, tote bags, disposable coffee cups and even key chains. In this article, we will focus on tote bags and disposable coffee cups.
Custom tote bags
These are ideal for all manner of activities. They can be used for grocery shopping or even collecting materials at trade shows. These bags have got a great branding power that you should take advantage of.
One of the things that have made the tote bags so famous is due to the fact that they are eco-friendly as compared to the plastic options. The bags serve so many purposes. When you distribute the custom tote bags, you are advertising your brand in a very inexpensive way. This is because the bags will be seen wherever the bearer goes thereby creating awareness.
Many companies hand out these kinds of bags at retail outlets, trade fairs and other such areas. As such, advertising is taken to a whole new level reaching far and wide.
There are so many colors, size, and style options that you can settle for when you are creating your bags. This means that you can come up with something that people will easily associate with your brand. So as to do it right, consider the material, the size, and the features.
Disposable coffee cups
This is yet another way in which you can build up your small business. While there has been a lot of debate about the use of disposable coffee cups, it still remains one of the most ideal way in which you can sell your brand. Most of us cannot go a day without several cups of coffee and therefore there is no better way to reach your target audience than to use coffee cups.
Due to the eco-friendly campaigns, there are disposable paper coffee cups that have been created. With these, you can do a custom print of your brand so that people may be sensitized about your services and products.
Coffee cups come in different sizes. You can also choose the kind of color that you want on your cups so that people can associate you with it. This is a very common trend today and it seems to be very effective.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LibbaAZ from Perfect in Every Way! I hesitated to buy this when ordering my pizza stone but decided to go for it. I am so glad I did. Using a sprinkling of cornmeal, my pizzas slide right onto the heated stone and again, onto a serving surface. I don't get too close to the hot oven, it's extremely lightweight and cleanup is almost not needed! Just brush off the cornmeal and swipe with a damp cloth. Dries very quickly and stores vertically, taking up minimal space. This really is the perfect product for the job and well worth the price.Date published: 2016-07-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Dandelion811 from So glad I bought this! Have you ever used a splatter guard to attempt to load your pizza onto a stone that's been heating for almost two hours at 550 degrees? I have and it's a disaster waiting to happen! So I bought this peel and life is good! I use a bit of semolina on the peel, place my rolled out dough on it, assemble, and slide my pizza right onto my hot stone. Removal of the pizza is also a snap...I'm soooooooo happy I bought this. I have the Emile Henry rectangular stone and love it too...pizza anyone?Date published: 2016-03-24Rated 5 out of 5 by Kanani from Great product I love baking and making Pizza's never owned a peel before. Got this one and delighted it's Made in USA!! difficult to find those items. Also great price! Love the peel and it works great with my new stone! Highly recommend this product. Don't know what took me so long to buy one...Date published: 2016-02-02Rated 5 out of 5 by Pennys2cents from Must have for homemade pizza baking LOVE, Love, love this pizza peel. Was a little skeptical on the price but after using it one time it is well worth the cost. My pizza's now slide easily onto my hot stone (use plenty of corn meal for optimum sliding) and when pizza is done it slides just as easy under the pizza to remove it from oven. Also love that I can cut the pizza and it does not leave any cut marks. Looking forward to MANY more homemade pizza's using this peel. :-)Date published: 2014-08-10Rated 4 out of 5 by LarryLuke from Tends to be sticky I gave it 4 stars because it is stiff, but only 4 because it tended to stick and not let the raw pizza slide off. I am going to buy one of the aluminum ones and compare.Date published: 2013-09-21

Train services between Yorkshire and London are being severely disrupted after a man was struck by a train on the East Coast Main Line.
National Rail reported earlier that a person has been hit by a train between Retford and Newark North Gate, blocking all lines between the stations.
Emergency services have now finished their work at the scene and the lines have reopened.
But the disruption to services is expected to continue until around 1pm.
British Transport Police said its officers were called shortly before 8.40am to reports that a man had been hit by a train.
A spokesman said: "We attended, alongside colleagues from the ambulance service, but the person was sadly declared dead at the scene.
"The incident is not believed to be suspicious and we are now working to contact the person's next of kin."
Services being affected by the disruption include:

Recently, I was asked by a friend (another audiologist) why I belong to ASHA and what do they do for me? After all, they were the organization for speech-language pathology and really didn't care about audiology except for the CCC-A, as believed by some. This led me to reflect on why I feel ASHA's membership benefits me as an audiologist, focusing on the past few years.
Just in the last year, ASHA has provided me with a wealth of information related to reimbursement issues, which was developed in collaboration with the Academy of Doctors of Audiology, the Directors of Speech and Hearing Programs in State, Health and Welfare Agencies, Academy of Rehabilitative Audiology, the Educational Audiology Association, and the American Academy of Audiology.
For me, the guidance for audiologists on reviewing third party payer provider contracts was a very timely and helpful reminder because—at that time—my practice was being approached by a number of entities to provide hearing aid services.
Another helpful resource was the question and answer document about the new Otoacoustic CPT Codes that gave me information on how to bill these codes appropriately. There was also information on new requirements for the Physician Quality Reporting System, which helped me too. Aside from these useful and helpful resources, I appreciate that the information was developed jointly and shared within the audiology community.
When I think about advocacy being a member benefit, I'm thankful for quite a few things that ASHA's advocacy team has pushed for, including:
- A comprehensive audiology benefit. This will allow me to provide the necessary rehabilitative/habilitative services to the people I serve. This proposal will recognize that audiologists are the best providers of these services. As health care moves toward prevention of health problems and a new payment system, this will allow me to provide therapy services as part of a team!
- Legislation related to early detection of hearing loss. The outcome of that work has benefited so many of the children and families we serve.
- Legislation that averted the proposed 20 percent cut in Medicare payments. These have been scheduled to take place every year for the last several years, but keep getting extended. I can't help but think that ASHA's lobbyists have been instrumental in helping in that effort.
ASHA's ongoing advocacy for the profession of audiology has benefited me in so many ways. Recently, ASHA was very helpful working out the "kinks" in the federal employee health benefits hearing aid plan. ASHA is also developing and implementing plans to help us navigate through the new accountable care organizations. And, they are working diligently to see that we have a voice in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
As I continued to think of all of the benefits from ASHA membership—as an audiologist—I realized there has been great value in continuing to be a member of ASHA! I want to thank my friend for asking me why I still belong.
Stuart Trembath, MA, CCC-A, is chair of ASHA's Health Care Economics Committee and co-owner of Hearing Associates in Mason City, Iowa.

When I was college I took a graphic design class. I eagerly enrolled encouraged by the 100 level of the class but possessing no artistic talent. I dreamed of prismacolor markers, art bins and black bound sketch books. I fantasized about being locked in an art store and sleeping on a bed made entirely of Faber-Castell sketching pens.
I sat behind a woman who possessed incredible artist talent and wonderful discipline. However, she was not strong in the theory as I was. We both came to the first class with decidedly lopsided skills.
If you're waiting for the part of the story where we combine our powers like The Wonder Twins, well you can exhale. We didn't. In fact I never actually had a conversation with her deciding instead it was much more useful to be bitter and envious.
But what if we had? I would have developed my meager drawing skills and she'd know Gropius from Albers.
Each Sunday night I pull out index cards and write my weekly wish list. My weekly wish list doesn't merely contain tangibles like "Get season three cast of Homicide: Life on The Street to perform top five episodes in my living room." though it probably should!
It usually starts with one wish:
- Replace judgement with curiosity.
That initial wish informs the rest. Sometimes I make big, loud wishes like, "Stop calling self Dr. Schadenfreude" (that's probably not going to happen anytime soon.) Other times it's something like, "Find one good thing about each day"
When I started doing these I was skeptical. I do not always believe in the magical. I go to the puppet show and look for the strings. But I have to tell you these 3 x 5 index cards of wishes transformed what was once a relationship to my body to something that is starting to approximate a relationship with my body.
Y'all are smart cookies. Smart, delicious cookies…wait, where was I? You can connect these two stories. The way you feel about yourself informs what gifts from others you allow yourself to accept. And I say "allow" not because SP is going LOA, but because new shit is coming to light daily and you have to be outside your head to notice it.
Sometimes we are so defeated by our -isms we forget to wish for something beautiful. We forget we're more than our bodies or our -isms. We are more concerned with pain avoidance and less concerned with pleasure seeking.
Flip that script. Make some wishes for yourself today.

Overview of Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal, inherited disease in the United States (see Incidence). CF causes the body to produce abnormally thick and sticky mucus in several different parts of the body, most prominently in the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. It also affects the pancreas, leading to serious digestive problems.
Cystic fibrosis alters the mucus secretions of the body's epithelial cells. Epithelial cells make up the outside layer of tissue that lines every open surface of the body, inside and out, including the various tunnels and cavities in the lungs, urinary tract, liver, and reproductive tract. In patients with CF, the mucus that the epithelial cells secrete is much thicker and stickier than normal. It clogs the airways of the lungs, blocking the flow of air and making the tissue vulnerable to continual lung infections. It blocks the flow of pancreatic juices in the pancreas, impeding digestion and the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins, leading to nutrition deficiencies and intestinal complications.
CF is a genetic disease resulting from the inheritance of a defective autosomal recessive gene. A recessive gene is one that is expressed only when both copies of the gene are present, so a person with CF must have inherited the gene that causes CF from both parents. A person who has only one copy of the gene is known as a "CF carrier."
The defective gene that causes CF codes for a protein responsible for salt (sodium chloride) transport by the epithelial cells. There are several hundred possible mutations that can lead to CF symptoms. The severity of symptoms varies depending on the particular mutation. Patients with milder symptoms live longer.
Due to vast improvements in treatment, the expected life span of people with CF has increased dramatically. Before the mid-1960s, the median age of death of children with CF was 2 years. That means that one-half of babies born with CF died by the age of two. By the early 1990s, the median age of death had increased to 25 years. Today many people with the disease live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
Incidence and Prevalence of Cystic Fibrosis
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, about 30,000 Americans, 20,000 Europeans, and 3000 Canadians have CF. In the United States, about 12 million people are carriers, and every year 2500 babies are born with CF.
The disease affects all racial and ethnic groups, though it affects Caucasians with northern European ancestry more often than other populations. It is the most common autosomal recessive genetic disorder in Caucasians, occurring in about 1 out of every 1600 births. In African Americans, CF affects 1 in 13,000 babies; in Asian Americans, 1 in 50,000 are affected.
One in 22 Caucasians are carriers. Genetic testing can identify carriers, but the tests are only 80-85 percent accurate because not all of the several hundred mutations that can cause CF are detectable.
Genetics & Cystic Fibrosis
Everything our bodies do, from making a decision to blinking our eyes, to digesting our dinner, is governed by our DNA. DNA is packaged in genes, units of genetic material located within our cells' chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes: 23 pairs, one of each pair inherited from the mother, the other from the father. Just as the chromosomes come in pairs, so do the genes: one copy of the gene on one chromosome is from the mother, the other copy on the other chromosome from the father.
The defective gene that is responsible for causing cystic fibrosis is on chromosome 7. Both copies of the defective gene are necessary for a person to develop the disease. If both parents are CF carriers (i.e., they each have one copy of the defective gene), the child has a 25 percent chance of inheriting both defective copies and developing CF, and a 50 percent chance of inheriting one defective copy and being a carrier.
The defective gene that causes CF was identified in 1989. It causes a biochemical abnormality in a protein known as CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator). CFTR is an essential protein found in the epithelial cells that line the body's internal passageways, including the lungs, pancreas, colon, and genitourinary tract. The abnormality keeps the protein from carrying out its normal role of moving chloride ions (Cl-) through the cell membrane, from inside to outside the cell.
In patients with CF, Cl- ions do not move properly, and consequently the cells do not secrete normal mucus. Defective chloride transport also causes deficient water transport, so there is not enough water to wash the mucus away from the surface it is being secreted from. The accumulation of abnormally thick and sticky mucus causes obstruction and inflammation in the glands and ducts, eventually leading to serious tissue damage.
How exactly is the gene damaged? In 70 to 80 percent of all CF cases, three of the base pairs in the gene are deleted and the amino acid that the triad codes for (phenylalanine) does not get made. The abnormal protein is called deltaF508 CFTR. The other 20 to 30 percent of CF cases result from one of hundreds of other possible mutations that can lead to abnormal CFTR proteins.
Variations in the severity of CF symptoms probably result from variation in the particular mutation that causes the protein abnormality and (as of yet unknown) environmental factors that may influence how the genetic defect is manifested. Environmental factors include those that exist outside the person (e.g., their diet) and internal factors that a person may not have any control over (e.g., other factors about the biology of a person that affect how a protein works). When the environment affects how a gene is expressed, biologists call this "genotype by environment" interaction.
Almost all genetic expression is affected by genotype by environment interaction. In other words, genes do not operate in isolation, how a gene is expressed depends in large part on its environment. Genotype by environment interaction may partially explain the variation in symptoms among CF patients, even those who have exactly the same genetic mutation.

Luxury Homes That Are Better, Not Bigger
Some high-end homeowners are shaving square footage off of their new homes. But nobody will accuse them of skimping on amenities.
When Joanne and Bruce Montgomerybuilt a vacation home on Washington's Whidbey Island, they thought big: sweeping views of the Puget Sound, mahogany-framed windows, heated Brazilian teak floors and other high-end amenities. Their budget was an ample $875,000.
The only thing they skimped on was size. The house measures 1,888 square feet—downright tiny in the luxury real-estate market.

College-bound freshmen are bombarded with checklists — from their schools, big retailers, bloggers and websites — detailing the many many things they'll need when they move into the dorm.
But you don't actually believe you need all the stuff, do you? Well, you shouldn't.
To find out what you really need, I went shopping with three recent college graduates whose experience can save you loads of money that you can now spend on phony IDs and beer. Kidding. Hey, Mom and Dad, I am just kidding.
"For whatever reason, socks are key. You can never have enough socks," recent grad Jeff Schlueter told me. But besides more socks, "Generally, I wish I'd brought fewer things" on the day four years ago when he moved into a dorm at the University of Illinois.
Don't bother bringing a bathrobe, says Eugenia Viti, also a U of I grad. "Everybody just uses a towel." "My bathrobe hung in my room the whole year," says Natalie Swan, who graduated in June from the University of Oregon.
On the other hand, "Coat hangers are a huge necessity," says Natalie and it was something she didn't think about when she arrived at school four years ago with armloads of clothes she had to dump on the bed until she went to the store — to buy hangers.
All three of my experts say that one of those cheap ($5.99, Target.com) clamp-on lamps is essential for reading in bed — even though I didn't see it on any of the checklists. And remember, those hot halogen lights are banned as a fire hazard.
The "poster putty" you're supposed to use instead of nails on the dorm walls to hold up your artwork? "It didn't keep my posters up," says Natalie. "You can use that blue painter's tape and it doesn't wreck the walls," she says.
You'll see "lanyard" (to hang your school ID around your neck) on lots of the college checklists but Jeff says, "based on the cool factor," forget it. "That screams, 'I'm a freshman,' " he warns.
All of the recent graduates say you'll want one of those plastic stacking drawers (large, $14.99, Target.com).
They also agree you should skip the tabletop ironing board ($9.99, Bed Bath & Beyond, bedbathbeyond.com). "Why?" asked a California mom we ran into who had one in her cart as she shopped with her daughter, entering Dartmouth in the fall.
Instead of taking up space with the ironing board, "You can use a towel on the floor," Eugenia told her. For that matter, don't bring an iron, the trio agreed. "Nobody ever irons anything," says Eugenia.
As we strolled down the college furniture aisle, the young women told me dorm rooms are too small for futons, an ottoman or a bean bag. Besides, "People sit on the floor in college," says Natalie.
Jeff recommended a lock for anything valuable, especially your laptop, and not the kind that requires a key which you'll have trouble locating when you need it most.
And those things that are hard to move and take up space — a TV, a mini-fridge, a vacuum—aren't worth the trouble, they say. Even a computer printer is a bad idea. They're bulky and "you're dealing with (expensive ink) cartridges," Jeff says. Universities are loaded with cheap public printers.
The single most surprising tip I got from my team was this: "Another thing you don't need to buy is the books."
That comes from Eugenia and sounds a little, shall I say, counterintuitive for a college student. But she quickly added, "Buy them two weeks after class when you know whether or not you need them."
She explains that the class-required book lists often are wrong. And with a single text often priced over $100, it pays to wait to find out if you really need it
Another alternative? "Share a book," says Natalie, "Or buy them used online." "University bookstores are the biggest rip-offs," adds Jeff.
And, when you're done with the textbook, Natalie says to sell it online. She easily set up an individual "seller's account" on amazon.com to recoup some of her spending.
"Between freshman year and senior year there was a drastic difference" on how she bought her college books, Natalie says. "I was smarter about how to purchase them."
And now you are too.
What to bring to college
Natalie Swan says a shower caddy ($3.99) is a must but a storage ottoman ($24.99), both at Target, is a bust.
Jeff Schlueter says socks and a dry erase board ($8.99) are a must but leave the bathrobe ($19.99) and decorative pillow ($14.99) at home. All at Target, target.com
Eugenia Viti endorses a collapsible laundry hamper ($12.99) because the basket ($9.99) is too bulky for a tiny dorm room.. Both at Bed Bath & Beyond, bedbathandbeyond.com
