Cholinergic medicines are also called miotics. Most of these medicines are given in eyedrop form. Pilocarpine
comes as a gel form (Pilopine).
The eyedrops have green bottle caps.
If you need to use more than one type of eyedrop, you may need to
take each medicine in a certain order. You can use the color of
the bottle cap to help you keep track of each type of
If you are using more than one type of eyedrop, wait 5
minutes between the different eyedrop medicines.
These medicines reduce pressure in the eyes by increasing the
drainage of fluid (aqueous humor) out of the eye through the
trabecular meshwork.
Cholinergics can be used to treat
Like beta-blockers, cholinergics can be used
alone or combined with other glaucoma medicines. A combination of medicines
can help control how much fluid is produced in the eye and increase the amount
of fluid that drains out of the eye.
Cholinergic medicines may be used during an episode of
closed-angle glaucoma after the pressure inside the eye
has been reduced.
These medicines lower eye pressure by 20% to 30%.1 They have the strongest effect on the pressure in the
eye during the 2 to 4 hours after medicine is applied. The medicine
continues to work for 4 to 8 hours after use.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Cholinergics are one of the oldest types of medicines used to
treat glaucoma. But because they can cause significant side effects and
because there are other effective medicines to treat glaucoma, cholinergics are not used as frequently as in the past.
If you are going to take any of these medicines, tell your eye doctor about all of the prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements you take. This is especially important if your doctor suggests echothiophate for you. This medicine is known to interact badly with quite a few other medicines.
Echothiophate needs to be stopped several weeks before surgery if a
certain general anesthetic (succinylcholine) is going to be used. Using
echothiophate while receiving this anesthetic could increase the risk of
breathing problems (respiratory paralysis).
If you take echothiophate, avoid breathing in even small amounts of poisons that kill insects and pests. Breathing in these products may increase the effects of your medicine and could be harmful.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Do not use echothiophate if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any of the other medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The Best Smoothie Recipe
First off, to make good smoothies, you need a good blender. Being the Consumer Reports dork-heads we are, we picked the Braun MX2050, a steal at $50, and so far we have zero complaints:
Second of all, no ice. Ice is grody in a smoothie. One makes a good frozen smoothie with frozen ingredients. Here's my recipe that I've put together with some trial and error.
Marie's Favorite Smoothie Recipe
Note: put the ingredients in the blender in this order for best mixing results.
A handful of frozen strawberries — you can do ones from the freezer section, or once every couple weeks I buy organic ones and cut 'em up and freeze 'em in a big bag
A good slosh of Kefir probiotic milk (enough to almost cover the strawberries) — it's like yogurt but has a more liquid texture. You can use regular yogurt (plain or vanilla) but it will take the blender a LONG time to mix it and you might have to stop it, stir the ingredients, etc, because the mixture is too thick to blend easily.
Half a banana. Mooshy is okay, you won't even taste the mushiness. Beware of greenies, though.
Large heaping tablespoon of SMOOTH peanut butter — I recommend Laura Scudder's Natural.
A bunch of honey. Try not to let the honey or the peanut butter touch the side of the blender, you'll lose some of it to just sticking on the side.
Blend until smooth, and that's about it! Many variations can be had (lose the peanut butter, add frozen pineapple, etc), but this one's my favorite because it's very protein-y. The best protein shake blender will help to make the tastiest, smoothest and healthiest shakes. Sometimes I put some Stonyfield Farms organic Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt in on top of the Kefir to make it a bit thicker. But it's good with just the Kefir.
Happy smoothing!

His explosive voice and musicianship ranges from rock to blues to big band and has garnered him three Platinum Albums, ten Gold Albums and five Gold Singles.
"I just heard the album you did with Billy May and it knocked my socks off. Salute." --Frank Sinatra
Simba Records recording artist Frank Stallone is one of the most versatile actors, singers and musicians working today. His explosive voice and musicianship ranges from rock to blues to big band and has garnered him three Platinum Albums, ten Gold Albums and five Gold Singles.
Frank has acted in over 60 films and TV shows, including Tombstone and the cult hit Barfly in which he played the memorable "Eddie" the bartender, which was touted by critic Roger Ebert: "Barfly is a terrific film that features an outstanding performance by Frank Stallone." He will be seen in the upcoming film Reach Me from director John Herzfeld and will soon be heard as "Thunderhoof" in Hasbro's hit series Transformers.
Frank has written and published over 200 songs and, with the addition of Don't Want to Fight With Me from The Expendables 2, has written and recorded compositions for 12 films, including Rocky I, II and III, Rambo II, Paradise Alley and Over the Top. But, it was Frank's nine songs that he wrote and recorded for the Saturday Night Fever Sequel Staying Alive that earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Sound Track and a Grammy nomination for Best Original Song with his single, Far From Over. That song became a massive number#1 hit around the world, stayed on the top charts for more than four months and is still played on radio stations throughout the world.
Frank has recorded nine solo albums receiving praise from legends Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Sammy Cahn. His rock-influenced Full Circle, "which I feel is my best" was followed by his American songbook albums, In Love in Vain, with Sammy Nestico, Stallone on Stallone by Request, a compilation of Frank's film soundtrack tunes, and Songs from the Saddle, showing Frank's more acoustic side. He's a big fan favorite in Australia and he performs in concert halls, theaters and clubs all around the world, gaining critical acclaim wherever he goes "he has the crowd enthralled." (New York Daily News).

Conan, a black and tan mixed-breed dog, was a treasured part of a Michigan family. In 2002, his family went on vacation and left Conan with a neighbor. But, unbeknownst to the neighbor, the mischievous dog escaped and wound up in a neighboring county's shelter.
The shelter held Conan for the minimum five days and then sold him to a broker. When his family returned they learned of Conan's fate.
Even though the dog was wearing rabies tags, nobody made an effort to reach his family. The broker sold him to a New York research facility where he was used as an experimental subject and then euthanized.
Conan's story is one of several in a book by attorney and animal advocate Allie Phillips. She says that what happened to Conan is known as "pound seizure."
The government-regulated process has been around since the 1940s, when it was common in taxpayer-funded shelters (government-operated "pounds") around the country.

Children who eat poorly are more likely to develop certain
long-term health problems and complications, including:
Complications of being overweight include liver problems,
problems with hip development (slipped capital femoral epiphysis) or
bone growth in the legs,
gallstones, early puberty, and
polycystic ovary syndrome.1
child's doctor regularly screens for signs of these health problems. If your
child needs treatment, work with your child's doctor to ensure that your child
is getting the best medical care possible, both at home and at medical
checkups. Keep your child's relationship with food separate from his or her
medical condition. And guide your child's eating with healthy food choices.
Avoid putting your child on a weight-gain or weight-loss diet.

In 1969, third tier Swindon Town progressed to the final of the League Cup, where they would face First Division Arsenal. Few anticipated an upset, but an unlikely combination of factors caused one of the biggest final shocks in the competition's history.
Heavy rain in the days leading up to the match, and the fact that the Wembley turf had been recently used for the Horse Of The Year Show, had left the pitch in poor condition. Nevertheless, the fancied north Londoners started much the stronger and it looked as if Swindon's cup run was coming to an end.
However, the Third Division side scored against the run of play in the 35th minute through local boy Roger Smart and improbably managed to hold out for almost all of the second half. Peter Downsborough kept goal like a man possessed until he finally fumbled one in the 86th minute, allowing Bobby Gould to nip in for a headed equaliser.
Extra time saw the Arsenal players, several of whom were under the weather after a bout of flu in the camp, tire badly. Swindon's Don Rogers bundled the ball in after a goalmouth scramble, and then with Arsenal committing everyone forward, added another in the 109th minute on the break. Swindon recorded a stunning 3-1 victory.
Swindon hoped that they might take their place in European competition but found that, like QPR in 1967, winning the League Cup only entitled a side to continental entry if they were from the English top flight.
A solution was found to this manifestly unfair Uefa ruling: the hastily arranged Anglo-Italian League Cup. The clubs were keen as it gave an opportunity for gate receipts in the off-season, and fans were excited to see Swindon take on Roma, winners of the Italian League Cup.
Swindon defended doggedly in the August match in the Olympic Stadium, Downsborough again in defiant form between the sticks, and although they were defeated 2-1, they were by no means out of the tie.
But the Italian side can scarcely have imagined what would happened when they visited the County Ground: a 4-0 hammering from Swindon, including a hat-trick from new signing Arthur Horsfield to go with a goal from Rogers. Among the Roma players stunned that day was future England manager Fabio Capello.
Roma's manager at the time, Helenio 'The Wizard' Herrera, who had already twice won the European Champions Cup, said later: "My team were punished for moments of distraction… We had plenty of opportunities, but Swindon showed us how to shoot."
Encouraged by the interest, and the gate receipts, clubs in England and Italy sought to capitalise with an expanded tournament. Under the guidance of the football agent Gigi Peronace – an important figure in Anglo-Italian footballing relations whose fingers were in many pies including the transfer of John Charles to Juventus and translating for British managers in Turin – the Anglo-Italian League Cup was set up.
Six teams from each country – Swindon, Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough, West Brom, Sunderland and Wolves; Napoli, Juventus, Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio and Vicenza – took part. Swindon, by now old hands at giant-killing, beat Juventus 4-0 and 1-0, and beat Napoli 1-0 away. They were defeated 2-1 by Napoli at home but nonetheless made it to the final, again against Napoli.
The final was contested at the Stadio San Paolo, Naples in front of 55,000. With Swindon leading 3-0, the crowd began to riot and the referee called off the match. A linesman was struck by a missile, as was Horsfield. The match was abandoned, and Swindon declared the winner. Swindon entered next year, and again gave a good account of themselves, missing out on the final only on goals scored.
The crowd violence was an augur of the next few seasons of the Anglo-Italian Cup, which was marred by repeated hooliganism. It was suspended in 1973, and returned as a semi-professional tournament in 1976, and then again in the 1990s for second tier clubs.
Overall in the Anglo-Italian League Cup and Anglo-Italian Cup, Swindon played ten ties and won seven, losing two and drawing one, giving them – by win percentage at least – a strong claim to be England's most successful team in Europe. Bradford's dream might be only just beginning...

If you are married you can select the married filing separately (MFS) filing status. This election may benefit you if you want to be responsible only for your own tax or if it results in less tax than filing a joint return. If you and your spouse cannot agree to file a joint return, you may have to file a married filing separately return unless you qualify for a head of household status. See 1040 instructions for additional information.
Generally you will pay more combined tax on separate returns than you would on a joint return. However, unless you are required to file a separate return, you can choose to figure out your tax liability both ways (on joint and separate returns) to see which way is more beneficial. This way you can make certain that the return you file results in the lowest combined tax. When figuring out the combined tax of husband and wife, you may want to consider state taxes as well as federal taxes.
Special Rules for filing separately: When using the married filing separately designation special rules apply that limit or eliminate tax deductions and credits. Generally this results in a higher combined tax liability verses filing married filing joint.
- Your MFS tax rate generally is higher than on a joint return.
- Your exemption amount for computing the AMT is half that allowed on a joint return.
- A credit for child and dependent care expenses in most cases is not allowed and the benefit for the exclusion of taxable income from your employer's dependent care assistance program is limited to $2,500 (instead of $5,000).
- You can not take the earned income credit.
- No exclusion or credit for adoption expenses.
- You cannot take advantage of the education credit (American Opportunities), deduction for student loan interest or the tuition and fees deduction.
- You cannot exclude any interest income from US savings bonds you used for higher education expenses.
- If you lived with your spouse at any time during the tax year:
- You cannot claim the credit for the elderly or the disabled, and
- You must include in income a greater percentage (up to 85%) of any social security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits you received.
- The following credits and deductions are reduced at income levels half those for a joint return:
- The Child tax credit,
- The retirement savings contributions credit,
- The deduction for personal exemptions, and
- Itemized deductions.
- Your capital loss deduction limit is $1,500 (instead of $3,000 on a joint return).
- If your spouse itemized their deductions on their return you also have to itemize your deductions. You will not be able to claim the standard deduction unless both parties do and that amount is equal to ½ of the joint return standard deduction.
How to file: If you file a separate return, you generally report only your own income, exemptions, credits and deductions. You can claim and exemption for your spouse only if your spouse had no gross income, is not filing a return, and was not the dependent on another person's return. MFS returns can be filed on either a 1040A or a 1040. You must enter your spouse's full name in the space provided and you must enter your spouse's SSN or ITIN in the space provided unless your spouse does not have one and is not required to have a SSN or ITIN. If your spouse does not have and is not required to have a SSN or ITIN enter "NRA" in the space for your spouse's SSN.

In Case of Sarasota Couple Accused of Running Ponzi Scheme, Husband Pleads Guilty but Wife Refuses
John and Marian Morgan, accused of playing leading roles in an alleged $27 million ponzi scheme uncovered in 2009, have decided to take markedly different legal strategies with a September trial date looming.
The Morgans, accused of running Morgan European Holdings as a ponzi scheme ultimately taking in $27 million for a fictitious bank-to-bank trading program, rose to notoriety when they fled the United States to Switzerland after failing to show up for a federal court hearing rather than face jail for contempt. Later arrested in Sri Lanka, the Morgans have remained in custody since being extradited back to Sarasota.
Last week, John Morgan agreed to plead guilty and testify at the upcoming September trial, although he will not be forced to testify against his wife. Following that development, it was speculated that Marian Morgan would also change her plea to guilty when a change-of-plea hearing was noticed for later this week. However, it was announced today that Ms. Morgan still plans on fighting the charges.
Also facing trial in September with Ms. Morgan is Eli Heckscher, the Denmark-based attorney who coordinated the movement of investor funds. Currently jailed in Denmark, it is not anticipated that Heckscher will be extradited in time for the September trial. Along with the cooperation of John Morgan, prosecutors have also secured the cooperation of Stephen Bowman, who recently pled guilty to funnelling nearly $13 million to Morgan European Holdings.
Marian Morgan faces a large amount of incriminating evidence, including a collection of emails purportedly written by her in which she cautions investors against contacting the SEC, saying that such a move would jeopardize return of the money. Several examples of these emails appear in documents filed by prosecutors, including:
"Marian I. Morgan warned in an email to investors dated February 9 2007 that an 'SEC/FBI investigation' will cause the powers that be to FREEZE all funds and years and years will go by before they complete their investigation. When they are done they will CONFISCATE all funds as fees for their services and the participants will get one big GOOSE EGG, NADA, NOTHING, ZERO,"

MSPAlliance focuses on local markets with 'town hall' event seriesChannel, Channel partners, MSP, MSPAlliance
MSPAlliance has a long history of running networking and workshop events for managed service providers (MSPs) in the U.S. and abroad. Next week, the Chico, Calif.-based organization for MSPs and cloud providers will be launching "Town Hall Managed Services Seminars and Workshops," a new event series that aims to explore issues in American regional markets. The first of these events will be in Cincinnati on Sept. 16.
Town halls will focus on the unique opportunities and challenges in a particular regional market, said MSPAlliance CEO Charles Weaver. Local-level discussion topics can include state tax laws and job market conditions that MSPs grapple with. He said he expects the Cincinnati event to draw MSPs from northern Kentucky, Indiana and parts of southern Ohio. Continued »
Google debuts reseller effort; AWS grows managed service rosterAmazon, AWS, Channel, Channel partners, Google
Partnerships between cloud vendors and channel partners, ideally, aim to satisfy both parties: national vendors stand to gain marketing muscle, customization services and a local contact for customers, while partners can potentially seize new avenues for boosting cloud sales.
In a recent example of such a channel alliance, Google last week said it is making a reselling option available for partners of its Google Cloud Platform. The platform, a set of cloud-based services, lets partners build offerings ranging from websites to big data deployments.
CompTIA launches sales toolkit for tech companiesChannel, Channel partners, CompTIA, Customer service, Soft skills
Technology adept and sales inept is probably a somewhat harsh analysis of the typical channel partner.
But managed service providers, value-added resellers and systems integrators do tend to be brimming with IT know-how and a bit lacking when it comes to soft skills such as sales, marketing and customer service. Channel consultancies, trade associations, product vendors and at least one "compassionate geek" offer assistance for partners looking to improve those aspects of a channel business. Continued »
Managed services: The ebb and flow of client profitabilityBusiness management, Channel, Managed Services, MSP, Profit & Loss...
In a recent conversation with SearchITChannel, Michael Maddox, president of ASK, discussed issues that managed service providers (MSPs) can face in regards to client agreements. One area he addressed was client profitability, which he said some MSPs lack a clear picture of.
"The No. 1 mistake I see MSPs making is not understanding or having enough tools or metrics to truly understand their revenue and costs from a managed services client," Maddox said. These MSPs will only evaluate their monthly, quarterly or yearly revenue numbers, with some companies going a step further and looking at their direct costs, such as what they owe Continuum or Kaseya, he said.
Business customers + channel partners = digital business opportunityChannel, Channel partners, cloud, IaaS, IDC, MSP, PaaS, SaaS, Small and medium businesses
Channel partners are in demand by business customers as they formulate and implement their digital business and cloud strategies. That's because partners offer expertise above and beyond what many businesses have in house and also because these organizations need comprehensive advice and trusted advisors to help them along their IT journey.
Two industry analysts recently conveyed this message: Darren Bibby, vice president, channels and alliances research at IDC and Anurag Agrawal, CEO and analyst at Techaisle.

Just three months since long-time Microsoft channel executive Jenni Flinders left her job, the Redmond, Wash. vendor this month appointed Stephen Boyle, vice president for Microsoft U.S. Partner Strategy & Programs – or U.S. Channel Chief.
Unlike Flinders who had a dozen years tenure with Microsoft – the majority of that time with the vendor's partner organization — Boyle is a relative newcomer to the company, having joined in March 2014 as vice president of enterprise partners. He was previously employed at Oracle (since June 1997) in various sales and channel positions. Prior to that he worked at Sun Microsystems and Data General.
IDC's Darren Bibby offers business transformation pointersChannel, Channel partners, IDC, Intellectual property
Last month when I spoke to Darren Bibby, program vice president, channels and alliances research at IDC, about partner collaboration as the path to new and broader channel business opportunities, he said that he considers partner collaboration as the eighth transformation area that IT solution providers must deal with to transform their business. Why the eight and, what are the other seven?
In a presentation that Bibby put together this year, Business Transformations in the Third Platform, he highlighted seven vital areas partners must tackle to transform their business: technology, time horizon, customer, sales motion, marketing, activities and competition – partner collaboration, which wasn't on that list at the time he put together his report, would make it eight.
As covered in the article – "New Types of Partners Spark Channel Alliance opportunities" – SearchITChannel delved into what partner collaboration looks like, why partner companies need to make it a business imperative and how some channel partners make it work.
At Microsoft, partnering rises to the topChannel, CRM, ISVs, Microsoft, Microsoft Partner Network, Microsoft partners, Office 365, SharePoint
Partnering is rising to the top at Microsoft, especially as unique intellectual property, differentiation and specialization increasingly set apart channel partner firms. At the same time, customers want complete solutions, so increasing partner-to-partner connections is critical, according to Gavriella Schuster, general manager for worldwide partner programs at the company.
At last week's Worldwide Partner Conference 2015 in Orlando, Schuster said that helping partners find each other and find partners with complementary skills is important to the company: "So what I'm looking at is, how do I help partners do that?"

QPR stun Chelsea
Chelsea's four-match winning run in the Barclays Premier League ground to a spectacular halt as struggling west London rivals QPR claimed a 1-0 win, their first victory at Stamford Bridge for two decades.
Shaun Wright-Phillips, an early substitute for the injured Junior Hoilett, struck a brilliant 78th-minute winner against the club he left in 2008 to further erode the Blues' fading title hopes.
Wright-Phillips' second goal of the season topped a fine performance from QPR that was a vast improvement on Sunday's tame home surrender to Liverpool.
Rangers defended resolutely throughout and created more chances to score in an entertaining second half.
It was a crucial victory that ended their three-match losing run, giving Harry Redknapp his second win since becoming manager last month, and while they remain bottom of the table on goal difference the result invigorated their relegation battle.
Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez dropped Ramires, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard to the bench, but the Blues still created more than enough chances to be out of sight before Wright-Phillips pounced.
The lack of a goal will have added urgency to Chelsea's pursuit of Demba Ba after today tabling the #7million bid that has triggered the release clause in the Newcastle striker's contract.
Marko Marin, making his first start, was extremely lucky to escape a fourth-minute red card from referee Lee Mason after driving into the shin of Stephane Mbia with a one-footed, studs-first challenge.
It was then Mbia's turn to enjoy some luck when his woeful pass was intercepted by Oscar, but the Brazilian's lay off to Fernando Torres was underhit.
QPR suffered a setback when Hoilett limped off in the 16th minute with what appeared to be a hamstring problem, resulting in Wright-Phillips' arrival from the bench.
David Luiz directed an attempt into the ground and onto the top netting and Chelsea threatened again shortly after when Branislav Ivanovic outmuscled Adel Taarabt and drove into the box, finding Marin who gave the ball away.
A corner bounced harmlessly off the shin of Torres and play quickly swept to the opposite end as Esteban Granero picked out Wright-Phillips from long range, with the ensuing first-time shot slipping narrowly wide.
QPR rarely escaped their half but were defending resolutely with skipper Clint Hill nodding clear a curling shot from Oscar.
The Blues lost their way in the 10 minutes before half-time, the result of a lack of urgency and series of errors, but shots from Oscar and Frank Lampard brought them back to life.
Moses wasted a glorious chance three minutes after the interval when he steered Marin's fast pass wide when only four yards out.
QPR's goal was coming under growing pressure with Ivanovic grazing the crossbar, Luiz seeing a rocket blocked and only a brave save by Julio Cesar denying Torres from point-blank range.
Taarabt and Wright-Phillips combined superbly to tee up Granero but the Spaniard's shot was plucked from the air by goalkeeper Ross Turnbull, who started ahead of groin injury victim Petr Cech.
QPR were now in the ascendancy with Jamie Mackie denied a one on one with Turnbull by a last-ditch tackle from Gary Cahill before Shaun Derry's header was caught by the Chelsea goalkeeper.
Lampard then stabbed the ball home but the flag had been raised for offside in what was a close but correct call.
Once again Chelsea faded and this time QPR took advantage, working the ball from a corner via Taarabt to Wright-Phillips, who drove the ball into the bottom left corner of the net from the edge of the area.
Ivanovic nodded over the crossbar in the dying moments and QPR held on for a precious three points.

Benefits of HIV drugs rise -- but less than previously believed, study shows
The percentage of HIV patients taking antiretroviral drugs who experienced the full benefit of the drugs jumped from 45 percent of 72 percent during the past decade, a figure that is lower than previous estimates. The findings, considered important for HIV prevention efforts, since patients whose virus is in tight control are less likely to transmit the infection to others, are published this week in JAMA by a team of researchers led by the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The issue's publication coincides with AIDS 2012, the annual international AIDS conference, being held in the United States for the first in over 20 years this week in Washington, D.C.
The researchers analyzed 32,483 HIV-infected patients cared for in 12 clinics across the United States between 2001 and 2010. patients in the U.S. During that time, the percentage of patients taking antiretroviral drugs who exhibited sustained viral suppression having no detectable HIV virus in the blood every time the virus is measured -- increased from 45 percent to 72 percent. The authors point to new drugs and fixed dose combination tablets as factors in improving the efficacy and safety of antiretroviral drug regimens, as well as decreased side effects that make patients more likely to adhere to their treatment. Better access to care during this time period may also be a contributor to the improved viral suppression rates observed in the study.
Despite this increase, the number of patients with tightly controlled HIV infection was significantly less than the 77 percent to 87 percent figures reported in prior studies, which were based on one-time only measures of HIV virus in the blood, rather than considering every time the virus was measured. According to the study's lead investigator, Baligh Yehia, MD, MSHP, MPP, a fellow in the division of Infectious Diseases at Penn Medicine and HIV specialist, "if the HIV virus is not fully suppressed, individuals are at risk of transmitting HIV to others in the community." Yehia says that while significant advances in HIV therapy have occurred over the past decade, consistent adherence to medicines and outpatient care remains a major hurdle for many people living with HIV. The findings come on the heels of the Food and Drug Administration's approval this month of the first drug to prevent HIV infection. Similar to people living with HIV, healthy individuals without HIV infection who chose to take this preventative medication need to have strict drug adherence and frequent HIV testing in order to achieve benefit.
Overall, sustained viral suppression was lower for black patients and injection drug users, while older patients and those with private insurance were the most likely to have sustained viral suppression. "Our analysis showed that HIV care providers need to closely monitor younger patients, African-Americans, injection drug users, and individuals without health insurance to ensure that they have access to HIV drugs and adhere to therapy, since those patients appeared to be least likely to have their infection in tight control," said the study's senior author Kelly Gebo, MD, MPH, an associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University.
"There is no denying the progress we have made over the past decade," says Yehia, "but, more resources and new technology are needed to ensure that more patients have access to HIV therapy and obtain the full benefits of these drugs."

Legislative commission prescribes shared services for financial ills
Faced with a bruising revenue forecast, a expanding elderly population and skyrocketing debt, the state of Minnesota must commit to the wholesale re-engineering of its bureaucratic systems and services, a legislative commission recommended this week.
The Commission on Service Innovation, set up in May to explore ways to streamline a government that stands to lose $1 billion in revenue over the next two years, said the state should take a series of steps that depend in large part on information technology to reverse what it called a financially unsustainable way of doing business.
The panel's recommendations include the use of shared services and the consolidation of IT operations, utility services and specialized applications. The shared services plan should be led by one agency and driven by a series of financial incentives, it recommended.
Related coverage:
North Carolina plans to privatize IT services
The commission's overall goal is to provide a plan to "re-engineer the delivery of state and local government services, including the realignment of service delivery by region and proximity, the use of new technologies, shared facilities, centralized information technologies, and other means of improving efficiency," according to the legislation setting up the panel.
In addition recommending more efficient use of IT, the panel also suggested smarter budgeting tactics, including "budgeting for outcomes," by focusing on "delivering the most bang for the buck for every dollar spent on government services."
The commission's plan arrives as the state is well into a severe financial predicament. In 2009, a state financial analyst predicated that, on its current track, the state would be forced to nearly eliminate all areas of spending except health care and K-12 education by 2035.
"The challenge we face is not just to balance the budget, especially the current one, but to find sustainable, long-term solutions to delivering public services that meet our citizens' expectations for price [cost] and quality," the report states. "Transformative governing, innovative delivery of services and increased efficiency are necessary in order to not only extricate our state from its current fiscal trend but also to create lasting, meaningful change."

Columbia University Libraries and the National Library of China Sign Cooperative Agreement
NEW YORK, November 25, 2008 The Columbia University Libraries and the National Library of China recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding, outlining future cooperative efforts. The two institutions have agreed to explore ways they can exchange traditional materials and provide training opportunities by exchanges of library staff members. They also will try to support each other's work by providing venues for exhibitions, and by keeping each other up to date on relevant publications by the exchange of publishers' catalogs. "We are extremely proud to be partnering with such a distinguished library," said Dr. Amy V. Heinrich, Starr East Asian Library Director.
The National Library of China has well over six million Chinese books, and close to four million foreign books, as well as a significant rare book collection, and expanding electronic resources of books, periodicals, and databases. National Library of China Director Zhan Furui is pursuing cooperation widely and expanding public access to the Library's holdings.
The National Library of China opened a new building for public use of the collections on September 9, celebrating its 99th anniversary (the formal opening will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the National Library. The addition of the new building makes the library the third largest in the world. It also announced the creation of the National Digital Library of China, with materials both ancient and modern.
More information about the new Library is available at www.nlc.gov.cn/en/news/nlcnews_2008091102.htm.
Columbia University Libraries/Information Services is one of the top five academic research library systems in North America. The collections include over 10 million volumes, over 100,000 journals and serials, as well as extensive electronic resources, manuscripts, rare books, microforms, maps, graphic and audio-visual materials. The services and collections are organized into 25 libraries and various academic technology centers. The Libraries employs more than 550 professional and support staff. The website of the Libraries at www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb is the gateway to its services and resources.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Passing the plate for the weekly church offering may soon become a thing of the past.
More churches are now using ATM style giving kiosks that allow you to use your credit or debit card to give.
Mount Herman A.M.E Church started using the machines about 2 years ago.
Director of Operations Reverend Paul Wiggins says there are processing fees that are paid to the company that runs the machine, but in the end the church says the convenience is worth it for their members.
He told Local 10's Constance Jones, "At the store, we are using debit cards. Why not at the church? Just utilizing the mode of payment people are using today."
Cassandra Wiggins faithfully gives money every week to the church using the giving kiosk. She says, she truly enjoys using the machines.
"It's easy! I do my budget and I know what I need to give. I just walk in and swipe," Wiggins said.
Church staff says that giving has not necessarily gone up, but nearly 50% of their collections now come from the machine.

This is my second project for the year. I'll post the first when I'm done being mad at it. You may remember this little project board from a whole year ago. If you think that's bad, you should see some of my other UFOs. :cough cough: Over 3 years ago....
I ended up choosing the natural leopard fabric. The purple is too stiff for this particular pattern. Interestingly enough, both of them were bed sheets once upon a time. The natural is 100% cotton sateen. The purple is a cotton/poly blend. Natural fibers for the win. I found the fabric at a thrift store a couple years ago for a few bucks. The Miette skirt pattern is from Tilly and the Buttons and can be found HERE. Sidenote: I am so excited for her book to come out. It looks so cute!
The whole process was a delight and made me remember why I enjoy sewing. The repetition and order of putting together a PDF pattern soothes my obsessive-compulsive side. Methodically working through each step leaves me with a sense of accomplishment even when I'm moving slowly. In the past I've hurried through a project just to get it finished. Unsurprisingly, those projects don't get worn often. This time, I took my time and enjoyed the process. From the taping to the pinning, the cutting to the final pressing, I can say that I enjoyed myself. I think the skirt reflects that.
Ignore the messy loft. I'm still curating my perfect sewing/office space. I'm in love with my Cabaret pink accent wall. I think the giant shiny mirror of awesome goes well. No one has ever accused me of being subtle.
Now for the bonus round: How many animal prints can you find in the picture?

How Women Can Dress in Workplace Business Casual
With business casual, you have the freedom to be a little more stylish and a lot less conservative. Instead of the traditional business suits, you can wear pants, blouses, skirts, and dresses. These selections make business casual more comfortable and give you the opportunity to inject some more of your personal style.
If you're the slightest bit confused about what to wear as far as business casual, take a cue from the men in your office. If they're wearing khakis and polo shirts, you can use that as the standard, even though you don't want to wear exactly that. Your goal is to distinguish yourself in a way that makes you look both stylish and feminine.
So instead of khakis, try sharp wool gabardine slacks or a pair of linen pants, and instead of a polo shirt, put on something more fitted that shows your curves without revealing any extra skin. Of course, if you do decide to wear khakis and a polo shirt (a preppy look), make sure the fit on each is a 10: The shirt should be fitted and in a feminine color (pink or another soft pastel), and the khakis can be capri length to show off your legs.
Don't forget a great pair of shoes (ballet flats are always chic yet comfortable). Figure 10-1 shows how a pair of khaki pants and ballet flats can be a stylish yet comfortable outfit for work.
Dressing casual: Some challenges to getting it right
Business casual may be one of the more common forms of dress these days, but with no exact definition, getting dressed in the morning can be complicated. When you just had to choose from one of the five suits you owned, the limitation made choosing your outfit for the day a lot easier (shopping was a lot easier, too). Now that you have a lot more options (pants, blouses, skirts, and more), the selection process can be tricky.
Here are some tips to help you adapt your business casual wardrobe when the need (or desire) arises:
Keep a few items in your office to throw on when you need to. These items include a cardigan of neutral color and/or a scarf. Suppose you wear something to the office that's a little on the edgier side and you have a meeting with a client late in the day and need to tone it down. You can throw on the sweater or tie the scarf around your neck for a more conservative look.
Keep a perfect pair of black pumps and a perfect pair of black flats at work, too. You'll be glad you have the flats if your feet are killing you, and if last minute plans come up, you can dress up your outfit with the black heels.
Even if your place of work doesn't require you to dress formally, show up decked out from time to time. You'll feel great when people say "Wow, you look nice today!" It also helps people see you in a different light, which never hurts. And when people ask why the change (which you know some inevitably will), just say with confidence, "I felt like getting dressed up today."
You can be playful, but make sure it doesn't turn from playful to too sexy. If you're wearing a tight skirt that rides up when you sit and you're in a business meeting, part of you will constantly worry about how much of your legs are showing instead of the subject matter being discussed. While you're tugging at your skirt, you could be missing an important point, and others in the room may notice that you're distracted. Plus any type of fidgeting often can be misinterpreted as anxiety or lack of preparedness. Why chance it?Adding flair to business casual.
Accessorizing your business casual outfit to add flair
Aside from wearing more comfortable clothing, business casual dress is an opportunity to wear clothes with more flair. A scarf, earrings, and a nice pair of sandals can totally transform your work look.
Accessories can be a quick fix when trying to make an outfit pop. If you're wearing a simple outfit, you can use statement jewelry to express your personal style. A chunky necklace or chandelier earrings can dress up any outfit, but don't wear both — choose one or the other!
Also don't underestimate the power of a belt. An outfit that is simple or even a little roomy around the midsection can be totally transformed with a great belt. Play around with it. If you do go the belt route, make sure you don't over accessorize. Earrings or a bracelet (or even a small necklace) is fine. But just one is likely enough!
