Just how much influence is the government genuinely prepared to give service users in shaping care trusts?
The effectiveness of patient and public involvement forums (PPIFs) for mental health and social care trusts is diminished by the structures and funding systems in which they operate.
The roles and powers of PPIFs include: monitoring and reviewing services directly provided by the trust (or organisations that the trust has paid to provide services for patients); getting the views of patients, users and carers about those services; and making reports and recommendations to the trust based on the views of patients and the public.
But to monitor a user's experience of mental health services effectively, a forum would need to look at the whole journey from the point at which someone goes to see their GP, through rehabilitation and community care, to their return to everyday life. Only a few people are referred on to secondary mental health care, yet the forum is not empowered to inquire into services at primary care level.
PPIFs can comment though, as part of the trust's annual health check, on whether a particular trust has met the Healthcare Commission's core standards. But funding arrangements may not allow them to carry out the important job of monitoring whether the needs of mental health patients are being adequately met.
Often, the relationship between health and local government is lacking. In some mental health trusts, local authorities "work in partnership" with the health service but do not pool their budgets. In many areas numerous community care services required to meet the national service framework for mental health are provided by private and voluntary providers under local authority contract. But, where budgets are not pooled, a mental health and social care trust PPIF can only concern itself with services funded by the NHS. This can prevent the PPIF properly monitoring community care services for people with mental health problems.
Given all this, how much influence can the public really have over what goes on?

Our hearts sank when the duo revealed Monday they were calling it quits after four years of marriage, so it was nice to see them still putting on a united front...even if it was just on Twitter.
"Hey @mirandalambert can u believe there's people who haven't bought @ashleymonroe new album? Isn't that shocking?!!," Blake randomly tweeted Miranda Friday. "@blakeshelton no I can't because it is the best work she has ever done! I love it! We love you @ashleymonroe http://smarturl.it/theblade," she responded.
And then, to our delight, there was more. "@blakeshelton I knew it.... You WERE pregnant! This calls for a drink!," Miranda tweeted, along with a shot of him pushing a baby carriage and acting silly in front of paparazzi after their divorce news was announced. When the paps asked him that day if he had any regrets about their failed marriage, he said, "Yeah, man. I shoulda drank more today."
@blakeshelton no I can't because it is the best work she has ever done! I love it! We love you @ashleymonroe http://t.co/YEvRPYhzN5

"Ha!!!!! Busted... I wasn't JUST a fat a**. Drinking shall now begin...," he said in response to Miranda's tweet. And in case anyone is wondering, Blake doesn't care if anyone was unamused by their Twitter convo. After a fan tweeted him, "losing respect because of this whole charade," he tweeted back, "Well rest assured not one sh*t is given.." Lolz.

At least these two have a sense of humor in the midst of a situation that can't be easy for either one of them (can they just go ahead and get back together, though?).


text: difficult child 2 is....exhausting....infuriating....and any other adjective you can think of along those lines. He doesn't seem to think the rules apply to him. He says what everyone wants to hear, but has no intention of following through. He uses and takes advantage of the goodness of others. You can't believe a word he says. He 'lost' his adderall a week and a half ago. And he mysteriously has money. He 'bounced' away this weekend...which means he had permission to go somewhere on Friday and was supposed to be home Friday night. He called his mom and told her he wasn't coming home; that he'd be home by noon Saturday. Saturday he tells her he'll be home "sometime tomorrow night". He does this about every other weekend. Then complains that he doesn't get to do anything even though he's busting his [butt] to do the right thing. He has a long list of reasons why he's doing this and it's all about how he's not treated fairly, that he doesn't get to do anything, blah, blah, blah. The same old tired argument over and over and over. I've told him repeatedly that he doesn't give us a chance to allow him to do things because he just takes it (i.e., 'bouncing' away). And an hour of school doesn't count as busting your [butt]. An hour and a half of community service doesn't count. He still has 28 hours to complete. He worked an hour and a half and then left because he got sweaty. He talks to his mother in a horrible manner. When she told him that she was making a list of house rules this weekend for all of her kids and it would include bedtimes, etc, he told her flat out that he was NOT going to have a bedtime and he was NOT going to have this or that. This particular bounce, however, may be the final straw. This time he involved the SW from the wrap around services. At the group meeting on Thursday, he asked the SW if he would drop him in [town] after the home meeting. Needless to say, I was floored when I found out he asked him to do that. The SW came to the meeting on Friday and said he thought he was taking difficult child 2 to an appointment; however, since he had already said yes, he would take him to [town], but he wouldn't do it again. difficult child 2 said all the right things at the meeting. And then he bounces. We know what town he's in, just not where exactly. When he comes home from [town], he sleeps for days. I'm pretty sure he's doing drugs while there. He's on probation. However, he does not currently have a PO because the probation is in the process of being transferred from another county. He should have a PO next week. He also sees the new psychiatrist next week. We know he's not on the right medications. However, he knows right from wrong. He just doesn't care. It's all about me, myself and I. When his mom told me last night that he wasn't coming home - that he'd be home by noon today (which I figured wouldn't happen), I told her "Ok. I'm done." And I felt calm and relaxed. Every other time, I'd be angry and frustated...my pain would kick up, I would toss and turn at night. I think detachment just kicked in. Self-preservation, had enough...I don't know. But...he's 16. What do you do with a kid that won't help himself? He's been in foster care because of running away. He ran away from foster care - more than once. They put him in a program and he ran away from there 3 times. Then they (the county) put him in a lockdown Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for dual-diagnosis. It was a step-down from JDC. He was there for 5 or 6 months. He was out for less than a week when he bounced away again, so he was on an ankle monitor for a couple months. I find myself thinking he's a lost cause. I asked his mom if she ever thinks that way and she said she does sometimes. She hasn't wanted to violate him because JDC certainly won't be beneficial, but what else do you do with this kid? He has no interest in helping himself. His thinking is that he's going to do what he wants to do and he'll be fine and everyone should just back off. He isn't doing school (online school), he isn't doing his community service, he's taking off all the time, he barely participates in the home meetings. He's only 16. I've known him for almost 10 years and I've always had a special bond with him. But, I don't know if I want to go to the home meeting next week. What's the point? He's just going to lie and say what everyone wants to hear, then turn around and do whatever he wants. I don't know how much I want to be involved. I *really* don't like being lied to and taken advantage of. What do you do in a situation like this? Seriously, this kid is a hard case. He does not care about anything except about what he wants to do.

Here is another strike against credit cards. Not only do they often cause us to spend more, but they make merchants charge more to cover the credit card processing fees are usually 2-3%. The best cash back credit card that I use can end up costing merchants even more because credit companies pass an extra fees to cover the rewards which then gets passed right back on to the consumer. Americans spend an estimated $50,000,000,000(500 billion) in processing fees, almost the cost of one stimulus or bailout package.
Here is the scoop from True Cost of Credit :
Rewards cards cost businesses more than non-rewards cards because the credit card issuers pass the cost of the rewards onto the businesses by charging them higher Interchange rates. Rewards interchange rates are typically around 0.30% higher than the rate for a regular card. However, many smaller businesses actually get charged more than 0.30% additional for such transactions because it triggers a downgrade, which allows their credit card processor to charge them as much as an additional 1.50%.
The True Cost of Credit site combines information from several sources to provide you the estimated fees that were paid by merchants to your given credit card company. Just click through to the site and put in the first six digits(Issuers Identification Number) of a credit card and the site will give you a report on the fees merchants pay when using that card. Here is the report for the Chase Freedom Card, if you are interested. The report also offers examples of fees for different types of purchases that is also quite eye opening.
A pack of gum at a convenience store: $1.50
Credit Card Fees: $0.38 (25.1%)
So next time you swipe your card think twice about how much it might be costing you. What do the readers think about all of this?

Baseball is a sport played on a field with two teams of nine players. One team takes positions on the field, with a pitcher who throws the ball, and the other team bats. The aim is to hit the ball and run to as many bases (first, second, third, home) as possible before the opposing team retrieves the ball and tags a base to stop the baserunner. If the ball is caught without touching the ground, the batter is out. If a base is tagged while the batter is running to it, and they don't make it back to the previous base in time (or there is another batter at that base), then they are out. The teams switch places when the fielders have managed to get three batters out.
A stolen base is scored when a baserunner makes a dash for the next base while the pitcher is throwing the ball to the next batter, before the batter hits it. If the defence makes no attempt to get the baserunner out, then it is not scored as a stolen base.
Hitting four triples in one game means that Clyde hit the ball and successfully made it to third base, four times in one game. Hitting a triple is quite a rare occurrence in baseball, as it requires the batter to reach third base without a fielder's misplay (a fumbled throw or a dropped ball, for example, that allows the baserunner the chance to advance a base) or fielder's choice (when the baserunner advances a base because the defence were occupied trying to put out a different baserunner). It is therefore very exciting when it happens.
The American League is one of the two leagues that constitute Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada.

Foundational themes in Genesis – study 27 (Key verse: Genesis 3:14-15)
The book of Genesis gives us not only the truth of the creation of a physical world, but it uses these visible things to give us an understanding of the invisible things of God, for those who can receive that. The physical world reflects the spiritual types of God's works within us:
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Foundational themes in Genesis – study 27 (Key verse: Genesis 3:14-15)
The book of Genesis gives us not only the truth of the creation of a physical world, but it uses these visible things to give us an understanding of the invisible things of God, for those who can receive that. The physical world reflects the spiritual types of God's works within us:
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Luk 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
God is busy working His one plan of salvation, even through this "evil experience / sore travail…in the earth" (Ecc 1:13). This is done in a way God alone decided, as no man was asked to give Him counsel or advice (Rom 11:33-36). Everyone in the first Adam will eventually humbly submit to His ways of doing things when all will give an account to this effect (Phil 2:9-14; Rom 14:12). We actually start off by thinking we are spiritual and eternal beings who has been placed in a body of flesh having a "free" will to make "independent" choices. But the scriptures are very clear on our initial earthy status – inside and outside (Rom 8:20; Jer 18:4a):
1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Rom 8:5-6 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
We cannot accept these truths at first, but when God starts to open our eyes it becomes a humbling, painful, yet joyful process of judgement we must endure (Heb 12:11). The theme of judgement is foundational in this God-ordained process of creating humanity and all carnal-minded creatures in His spiritual image. The judgement of Adam and Eve, with this serpent, helps us tremendously to understand this wonderful and "strange work" of God "in the earth" (Ps 107:1-10; Isa 28:21):
Psa 46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
Chapter three of Genesis is packed with so much of what the natural man experiences in the earth and its true spiritual applications form such important foundations for our understanding of God's hidden secrets. God indeed wrote everything in His book "before the foundation of the world" and through Jesus all will be judged (Gen 18:25; John 5:22; John 17:24; 1Pet 1:20; Rev 20:12; Col 1:15-17; Heb 1:2; Phil 1:8; Rev 1:1-3; Eph 1:11):
Psa 139:16 (CEV) but with your own eyes you saw my body being formed. Even before I was born, you had written in your book everything I would do.
But although God is causing every thought and action of His creatures, they still need to give an account of their own actions. Giving an account is included in the process of judgement, but the natural mind sees this accounting quite differently to what the Scriptures actually say, as the natural minds in Adam and Eve also demonstrated:
Gen 3:9-13 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Adam and Eve could not give a proper accounting why they did what they did. They simply saw the outward and thought that God was also removed from what is happening "in the earth". We naturally believe that we were left to survive on our own with our own fabled "free" will and the "free" choices we must make in line with, or against, the will of God. But no-one can resist the will of God in anything they do:
Rom 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Because the natural or carnal mind cannot see God's hand in all things, he cannot give a proper accounting of what God has written in His book. God has ordained that this accounting should only be done through a process of judgement, which will bring salvation to all, "by His grace" (Jer 49:12):
Rom 3:23-24 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Tit 2:11-12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared [Greek: "epiphainō"] to all men, 12 Teaching [Greek: "paideuō"], us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
The Greek verb for "hath appeared" is in the aorist tense which reaffirms that "all men" is appointed to salvation and will receive it at God's appointed time (1Cor 15:22-28):
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.
God's grace works through His wrath, which is poured out on all ungodliness and worldly lusts in "all [who] have sinned" and His wrath lasts for a limited period (Eph 2:2-3; Rev 15:8). The Greek word "paideuō" in Titus 2 verse 11 is explained in this verse:
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth ["paideuō"], and scourgeth [flog] every son whom he receiveth.
How clear is that? One must be blinded and beguiled not to see the "simplicity" of Christ's one mind on this (2Cor 11:3). We should know that judgement is a good thing for our spiritual development which teaches us about God and His righteousness. We receive His righteous mind, His clothing for us, through judgement "in the earth" only:
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
It is then significant to see that this judgement is also appointed for the serpent:
Gen 3:14-15 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
One of God's "wonderful works" is His creation of a "crooked serpent" (which means he was created with a deceptive carnal mind). He was made by God to go "to and fro in the earth" deceiving all with the same carnal mind in the first man Adam (Job 26:13; John 8:44; Job 1:7). From the "sum of God's word" we know that this serpent (alias Satan, devil, leviathan, the dragon) was cursed and crooked from the hand of the Potter – "from the beginning" (Rev 12:9; John 8:44; Job 26:13):
Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon [Hebrew: "tannı̂yn"] that is in the sea.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales [Hebrew: "tannı̂yn"], and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
The "sea" and "waters" here refer to his spiritual condition and carnal activities. We are, like this serpent, in that same state of spiritual death which is also typified in Scripture with "dust of the ground" (Gen 2:7). We are dust and carnal and that is how the first Adam, and all in him, shares the same "menu" with the serpent (John 3:5-6; 1Cor 15:46; Rev 13):
Rom 8:6-8 For to be carnally [earthy/fleshly] minded is death; but to be spiritually [heavenly] minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
"Upon thy belly shalt thou go" is not merely referring to a physical way of moving around for this serpent, but rather confirming his vain and lowly carnal condition of being earthy. Many miss this spiritual truth because they are deluded to focus on whether the serpent walked upright before. The Scriptures do not say that the serpent walked upright, because he was never spiritually perfect and righteous ("upright in heart"). Spiritually he was on his earthy belly all the time as he was "crooked" from the hand of the Potter (Rom 8:20). The spiritual application of God's word has much more profit than the naturally puffed up opinions of men (1Cor 4:6):
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
The judgement on this serpent here in Genesis chapter 3 is the first indication in Scripture that this evil spirit being will be saved and given the righteous robes of Jesus Christ (Rev 19:11). This serpent and all others with the same mind as him should be seen for what they are – serpents. But all serpents will eventually dwell on the "holy mountain" of God – "seated in heavens". This is what is meant with the bruising of his head…his carnal mind will be destroyed. This means that Satan and all evil spirits like him, including all in Adam, will have the spirit mind of Christ feeding on the "dust" of God – the holy spirit "menu" of God:
Isa 6:1-3 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims [Hebrew: śârâph – a poisonous fiery serpent]: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
This is how the words "dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life" are fulfilled in the judgement of the serpent. It also reveals to us the positive application of dust as all things created by God has both a negative ("corruption") and positive ("incorruption") application. But the "dust" of God is His brimstone which will bring spiritual healing to all and "throughly purge his floor":
Isa 34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone [Hebrew: "gophrı̂yth"], and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
Mat 3:11-12 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone [Greek: "theion"], where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented [Greek: "basanizō"] day and night for ever and ever [the eons of the eons].
The Hebrew word for brimstone is "gophrı̂yth" and is described as the breath or judgement of God:
Isa 30:33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
This links beautifully with the Greek word for brimstone which is "theion" and come from the base "theos" which means Godly. The Greek word "basanizō" refers to a test for purity of gold or silver which are types of God's Word. All this is saying is that God's one and only spiritual fire brings spiritual purification in all He judges (Heb 12:29; 1Cor 3:13-15; Jer 5:14; Isa 66:):
Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
God's judgement on this serpent also brings separation between the serpent's seed and the seed of the woman. With this God confirms the impassable distinction between the darkness and the light:
Gen 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The serpent's seed operates in the deep pit of darkness – the carnal mind which is typified by the grave ("she'ôl" in Hebrew and "hadēs" in Greek). It is in the thoughts of the natural mind where all the "negatives" are develop which then manifest in words and actions "against the truth" (Psa 88:6; 1Cor 15:55). Thoughts/words are spirits – both the good incorruptible "seed" and the evil corruptible "seed" (Matt 13:3-9; Matt 13:24-30):
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jn 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible [seed], by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
This seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman are both also reflected in the various genealogies we find throughout the Scriptures. This starts off with the genealogies of two sons of Adam and Eve, Cain and Seth who was appointed by God as "another seed instead of Abel"). Also included are the genealogies of the two sons of Isaac (Esau and Jacob), and also the two sons of Abraham (Ishmael and Isaac):
Gal 4:22-23 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise [of the spirit].
Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
This is how the serpent bruises the heel of the elect. The serpent or dragon will always persecute the seed of the woman in every generation – those who read, hear and keep the testimony of The "Seed", Jesus Christ (Rev 1:1-3):
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

My 13 year old daughter prefers to fall asleep to music. There are times that it's way too loud, and has to be to cover the other noise in the house. I don't really like the idea of the ear buds in her ear while sleeping, so when 1 Voice contacted me with their Sleep headphones eye mask, I thought that it may be a great option.
This isn't a cheap eye mask, 1 Voice pulled out all the stops on this. It's made out of memory foam and covered with a soft velvet. This way it's comfortable, but will also block out all the light. This is perfect for Mya as she loves her room being as dark as possible at night.
The headphones are over the ear, so nothing has to go inside the earlobe. The speakers have great sound, so you don't have to turn it up loud at all. A low setting is all you need to block out all the noise in the house, car, or even plane. I tried these one night and I actually slept so well. With kids going back to school they need as much as they can get.
You charge these just like any other pair of headphones, it uses a microusb port. To turn on hold down the play button and make sure your Bluetooth is turned on and you are set to go. To skip to the next song just hit the other arrows once. For volume control, just hold the arrow button down.
For under $60 this is a great gift idea for those who love new gadgets and of course like it dark while sleeping. My daughter loves this and is looking forward to taking it on our next trip. Right now you can get in gray or black.
If you are looking for more Bluetooth headphone options, 1 Voice is the place to look outside the box. They have headbands, beanies and even sunglasses. I know of one of my friends that would love the beanie. It's definitely worth checking out the website.

Today, Senator Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) made the following statement after the release of the latest study on Polycythemia Vera (PV) in northeastern Pennsylvania. Senator Specter secured $5.5 million in federal funding to fully investigate the cancer cluster, a portion of which was used for this study.
"The incidence of the mutation in the population certainly calls for further study," Senator Specter said. "The community is understandably very concerned about the problem and they're entitled to the best answers science can give them. I urge ATSDR to act promptly on the next step of the study, and I am pleased that the federal government has the proper resources and intentions to conduct a thorough investigation."
In March, Senator Specter secured $5.5 million in federal funding to study the cancer cluster in the Carbon, Luzerne and Schuylkill tri-county region. The study marks the first time the federal government has funded a project of such magnitude. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) received $5 million to conduct assessments of PV trends and associated risk factors, including potential environmental risk factors. Additionally, Drexel University's School of Public Health in Philadelphia received $499,000 to conduct studies of the rare blood disease.
Senator Specter has aggressively advocated for federal support to examine the higher than usual incidence of PV in the region. He participated in the October 2006 announcement of the initial study, a statistical analysis of regional health data by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the CDC. In October 2008 Senator Specter convened a meeting in Hazleton, PA with community members and officials who have been directly involved with the blood disorder.
The genetic screenings were conducted by the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Mt. Sinai School of Medicine. Following two rounds of community health screenings for the JAK2 genetic marker, 19 (1.6%) of the 1,170 people tested were found to have this mutation. This is the first time a large scale screening for this JAK2 genetic mutation has been done in the United States and the frequency of the mutation in the general population is not known.
According to ATSDR, since the JAK2 genetic marker was identified in 2004, studies have shown that this mutation is present in more than 90 percent of patients with PV. Scientists do not yet know whether the mutation occurs in otherwise healthy people.
ATSDR will continue to study this information in concert with the Geisinger Health System -- using remaining funds from Senator Specter's appropriation - to determine how commonly the JAK2 mutation occurs in the general population outside the tri-county area.

Even as an observer and contributor, I have been amazed by the level of energy that Global Grassroots pours into every project. This is an organization that goes far beyond trying to treat the symptoms of social ills, and instead focuses on education to enact fundamental change. From teaching basic business practices to women in Rwanda to providing stress management classes in Haiti, Global Grassroots cultivates a spirit of social entrepreneurship to, quite simply, make people's lives better.
I have been a donor to Global Grassroots for several years and have had the opportunity to travel abroad to see their Conscious Change Academy in action in Rwanda. Their work in Rwanda was impressive to behold: the women served had created real change in their lives. The work of Global Grassroots seeks to help women solve problems they have themselves identified in their communities: they fulfill the promise of change for the women they serve and they do so through the model of empowerment. Global Grassroots is a small, but supremely well-run and effective charity. I am convinced of the integrity of their work and their personnel.
It is not often that one meets such a dedicated and compassionate individual whom has devoted her life to build an organization in-service of supporting female social entrepreneurs around the world. Gretchen Steidle Wallace brings inspiration to the work that the entire Global Grassroots team/network collaborate to achieve.
Global Grassroots gives women the tools they need to create social change in their communities. Personal transformation and sound business skills through the Global Grassroots year long training and support program enables women to address issues specifically and locally.
Global Grassroots provides opportunities for marginilized women to to reclaim their dignity and make a positive impact in their communities. The organization, under the leadership of Gretchen Wallace puts into practice the concept of "help a man, you help an individual - but help a woman, you help a community!" Through social entrepreneurial projects at the grassroots level, women are able to gain independence and build stronger communities.

Last year, the New York Jets went 5-11 and finished last in the AFC East. They have since lost several key playmakers, including Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, who signed with the Giants and Titans, respectively.
Nevertheless, Jets players and coaches remain optimistic about the 2017 season.
Barry Cofield does not.
"That Jets roster, wow," the 10-year NFL veteran said on CBS Sports Radio's Gio and Jones. "Other than that defense up front that I really like a lot, it's really – the Jets are really going to have to step it up. Let me just say that."
Cofield, 33, played for the Giants and Redskins and won a Super Bowl in New York. He knows what it's like to be on great teams. He also knows what it's like to be on not-so-great teams. But the feeling in camp, he says, is often the same.
"I honestly do believe those coaches believe (their optimism)," he said. "When you're in camp, you really feel like you can do anything. It's almost like everybody's drinking the same Kool-Aid. If you have any decent coaching, you really do believe that you can be successful. You're practicing against each other every day, and everyone is still an NFL player, so the practices are still intense. You really do feel, even in preseason, you feel like you have a puncher's chance. But that reality can set in really fast in the regular season. You can get shocked back into reality really fast."
The Jets have not yet decided on an opening-day quarterback, as Josh McCown, Christian Hackenberg, and Bryce Petty are all in the mix. There are position battles elsewhere on the roster as well.
"I honestly do believe that the Jets are probably getting great work (in)," Cofield said. "Not a bunch of big names, so guys are out there really working had, playing fast and trying to prove themselves. I believe they believe what they're saying."
The Jets open the season with back-to-back road games against Buffalo and Oakland on Sept. 10 and 17, respectively, before hosting Miami and Jacksonville in Weeks 3 and 4.

Don't Eat Liquorice, if you have Bartter's or Gitelman's
Don't eat liquorice !!!
Liqourice is a diuretic that causes potassium loss. You can lose potassium and raise your blood pressure.
Read more about it at Wikipedia, or just don't eat it.
Vitamins and Minerals, How Much to Take?
by Herbert C. Mansmann, Jr. M.D.
In 1990, Sheldon Saul Hendler, M.D., Ph.D., a biochemist at the University of California, San Diego, wrote "Although consumption of the so-called well-balanced diets still thought by some to supply all the vitamins (and minerals) we need in quantities sufficient for the maintenance of good health, there are many situations that place people at an increased risk for vitamin (and mineral) insufficiency (deficiency) states.
Assume Responsibility for Your Stress
by Herbert C. Mansmann, Jr., M.D.
The purpose of this document is to illustrate how one acquires the coping skills to be able to manage his own stress and stress related problems. This will significantly decrease magnesium (Mg) deficiency (MgD) and all of its problems in those that are successful at learning the coping skills.
Amounts of Potassium & Magnesium in Snack Foods
If you have Bartter's or Gitelman's Syndrome you should know that diet alone cannot come close to correcting the potassium and magnesium deficiencies. At the same time, if you are going to eat a snack, you might as well have something that adds rather than detracts from your levels. Looks like a bag of peanuts would be a good choice, and popcorn would be a poor choice.

Support Group Rules
Like most groups, we found the need for a few rules.
Testing for Bartter Syndrome
If patients, especially dehydrated infants and young children, are found to have hypokalemia and a high serum bicarbonate concentration on routine labs and do not correct with potassium and chloride replacement treatment, consider possible renal tubular disorder.
Survey Results
Results from Mail in Survey
One thing I have noticed in doing the surveys is that the older a person gets the more symptoms they have. A small child has very few which is probably because mom does not know what that child is truly feeling. In the teens the symptoms increase but only slightly. In the 20′s a slight increase and then in the 30′s the person has 10 or more symptoms. By the 40′s the person has most of the symptoms listed below. This could be because the person has had it longer so they are more aware of their symptoms or it could be that as we age the symptoms will increase.
Sample Doctor Letter
Many patients have had great difficulty obtaining appropriate treatment in emergency situations. Hospital emergency rooms staff are usually not familiar with Bartter's or Gitelman's Syndromes. Patients are often given inadequate treatment through a combination of lack of familiarity with these rare conditions and disbelief when patients try to describe their condition and how it should be treated.
Genetics is the study of heredity, the passing of traits from parents to their children. Physical traits such as eye color are inherited, as are biochemical and physiologic traits, including the tendency to develop certain diseases.
A Few Doctors We Like
We are trying to put a list together of Doctors who specialize in the treatment of Bartter's and Gitelman's Syndrome. The few names we have listed here are of Doctors who really helped at least one of us.
