Three UNC Lineberger faculty co-authored a review article titled "Adjuvant Therapy of Breast Cancer in Women 70 Years of Age and Older: Tough Decisions, High Stakes," that was published in the September 12, 2012 issue of the journal Oncology.
Ellen Jones, MD, associate professor of radiation oncology; Ashley Leak, PhD, RN-BC, OCN, Cancer Care Quality Training Post-Doctoral Fellow and adjunct assistant professor in the UNC School of Nursing, and Hy Muss, MD, professor of medicine and leader of the UNC Lineberger Geriatric Oncology Program, co-authored the article.
The UNC authors' abstract states: "In most Western nations, the incidence and mortality rates for breast cancer rise dramatically with increasing age, and in the coming decades oncologists will be faced with managing an increasing number of older patients with breast cancer. Having the knowledge and tools to optimally treat this group will be essential.
The challenge of caring for an older cancer patient is to provide treatment options that maximize long-term survival and account for life expectancy, comorbidities, and the effects of treatment on function. For example, a mild treatment-induced peripheral neuropathy can transform a functioning elder into one who is dependent on institutional care. Complicating matters, there is a paucity of data from randomized trials on the risks and benefits of our newer and increasingly effective treatments in older breast cancer patients.
In this review we will discuss how to evaluate older breast cancer patients, including estimating survival, defining functional limitations, and providing guidelines for optimal adjuvant therapies."

Wii U Demos Limited to Console, Not User
A new report indicates demos downloaded to the Wii U only have a limited number of uses for all users on the console.
While Nintendo already limits the number of uses for a given demo on the Wii U (and the Nintendo 3DS as well), it wasn't explicitly stated anywhere how the demo plays would be tracked. According to My Nintendo News, if you download a demo for a game like Rayman Legends, the Wii U counts every single play regardless of the user before the trial expires.
Consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 don't limit the amount of demo plays a user can enjoy, and previously it was possible to redownload demos on the 3DS to restart the counter. Unfortunately, that loophole appears to have been fixed for the Wii U.
What do you think of the news? Are you disappointed to learn how Nintendo tracks its demos?

BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION, "interesting to read the tweets by "impartial" media during the Iowa game. They seem to have had some of the kool aid-It IS Eastern Illinois."
"Wow did not take long to get some nasty comments from my Hawkeye friends:)to clarify-NIU is a D1 team who went to a bowl game--EIU is 1AA."
* — From the Twitter account of Iowa State women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly during Saturday's Iowa-Eastern Illinois game.
It's the postmortem from the first college football weekend of the season (yeah, MEXITIL price, it's not over, but since I'm going to do this on Sundays each week, might as well start now), japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal.
So while Fennelly (or whoever was using his account) was taking shots at the state's media in the press box at Kinnick Stadium, MEXITIL from canada, there was some interesting football going on Saturday. And some of that came from teams in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) that were somehow being discounted as lesser teams from places such as the Fennelly account.
Jacksonville State knocked off Ole Miss in overtime, MEXITIL dose. North Dakota State scored six points at Kansas — and won, BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION.
Yeah, Where can i order MEXITIL without prescription, it's easy to mock FCS schools. They don't have the roster size of the Football Bowl Subdivision teams, which means they don't have the large collection of talent, fast shipping MEXITIL, and most of the time all they ever get out of playing the larger (formerly I-A) schools is a six-figure check that helps pay the bills. Buy cheap MEXITIL no rx, But the reality is there are plenty of quality football players at those schools. Most were overlooked by FBS schools, some are transfers from the larger schools (Western Illinois RB Caulton Ray is a Michigan State transfer, is MEXITIL safe, for example) taking advantage of the NCAA rule that allows them to go from FBS to FCS without having to sit out a year. BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION, Most of the time, the scores resemble the Iowa 37, Eastern Illinois 7 variety. MEXITIL online cod, Sometimes FCS teams show a scare into FBS teams before falling — Western Illinois led at Arkansas heading into the fourth quarter in 2008 before losing, and last year Iowa needed to block two field goals in the final seven seconds to hold off Northern Iowa. And occasionally, MEXITIL for sale, a Jacksonville State or a North Dakota State pulls off a win that means more to a program than a huge check does. Where can i cheapest MEXITIL online, It's those kind of dreams that Western Illinois will carry into Purdue on Saturday, and other FCS teams will carry into FBS stadiums again this week.
As for Fennelly, after MEXITIL, he might want to be careful about what he says about FCS schools — UNI comes to Ames in a couple of weeks.
Iowa made it through its season opener with only one scare — a nasty stumble by QB Ricky Stanzi that could have been much worse than it was, BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION. Buy cheap MEXITIL, But even that play showed something positive — second-string QB James Vandenberg looks much more prepared this season.
The experience Vandenberg got last season in Stanzi's absence has helped him mature. You could see that on Saturday, MEXITIL pics, as Vandenberg appeared steady, MEXITIL no prescription, not skittish like he did last year.
If you want to be a serious contender for championships, you have to have a Plan B, MEXITIL dosage. BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION, Vandenberg looks more comfortable in that role this time around.
North Dakota State's 6-3 win at Kansas was the biggest game of the weekend for the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Herbal MEXITIL, Valley teams went 6-1 — the only loss was Youngstown State's 44-14 defeat at Penn State.
Among the interesting games:
• Illinois State scored 55 points against Central Missouri State — and won by one point.
• Missouri State defeated Eastern Kentucky 31-9 on Friday afternoon, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, since the game was postponed from Thursday night. Heavy storms and lightning in the Springfield area pushed the game back to the next day, BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION. Discount MEXITIL, KING SURVIVES
Shifting to the NFL, Burlington native Mitch King survived the Indianapolis Colts' cutdown to 53 players on Saturday.
Just as important, MEXITIL duration, he made it through Sunday as well. MEXITIL brand name, The interesting thing about NFL rosters is how fluid they can be. Especially the day after the "final" cuts, when teams scour the waiver wire looking for players let go by other teams, cheap MEXITIL. BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION, And even during the season, rosters fluctuate because of injuries and performance. A player on a roster after Sunday's game might not be there on Monday, Is MEXITIL addictive, maybe not because of his performance, but because another key player was injured.
Give King credit — he could have walked away from the game after last season, MEXITIL australia, uk, us, usa, when his free-agent time with the Tennessee Titans didn't work out because of injuries. MEXITIL from canada, He's found a home with the Colts, who have done quite well in finding the right pieces to their puzzle every season.
Former Western Illinois linebacker Jason Williams made it through the final cut with the Dallas Cowboys, buy generic MEXITIL.
Williams was a third-round pick of the Cowboys in 2009, but played in just five games last season after being slowed by injuries, BUY MEXITIL NO PRESCRIPTION.

Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King
Any potential revelations in the book originate in Rogak's speculation about how King's childhood shaped him into the writer, and the man, he is today, not from the well-known facts about his youth and his career. Stephen King does not remember his father, a man who, as the story goes, went down to the corner one evening for a pack of cigarettes and never returned. King's mother never remarried and it was only by working multiple jobs when they came her way, and with substantial help from her sisters, that she was able to keep Steve and his brother together.
The resulting insecurity King felt as a child convinced him that the world is a dangerous place filled with countless scary things wholly deserving his fear. He admits that he fears most of them and that the only way he can escape those fears, even temporarily, is to write about them - something for which his fans should be grateful.
Rogak describes the depth of King's addiction to drugs and alcohol in great detail. However, the surprising thing is not King's alcoholism or past drug use, neither of which is much of a secret these days. Rather, the surprise is how productive King was during even the worst years of his addictions. To put it into perspective, consider that he has no memory of the exhaustive editing process he went through to finalize Cujo or the fact that he was almost constantly drunk or stoned during the entire time he directed his first motion picture but still managed to finish the project.
Haunted Heart does well in its chronological presentation of Stephen King's life, and Lisa Rogak's assessment of what made King into the superstar writer that he is today is an interesting, if not new, theory. Readers looking for the basic Stephen King story will not be disappointed but one has to wonder what King's take would be on all the speculation about what makes him tick. Unfortunately, without King's participation or response we will never know how close to the truth Rogak and others have managed to get.
Stephen King fans will appreciate Rogak's efforts but will, at the same time, wish that King had made himself available to her.

"Haunted Heart" sounds interesting, but I am always a little suspicious of unathorized biographies. I remember reading one a couple of years ago on Shel Silverstein that seemed to be very padded and poorly written. I always prefer hearing an author's story in their own words, if possible, and think it might be too easy to make a lot of mistakes in speculating about King's life. Still, your review intrigued me enough to make me want to check this book out.ReplyDelete
While it may be wise to be leery of an unauthorized biography, Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee turned out to be quite good. This one sounds interesting, Sam!ReplyDelete
Alissa, I wouldn't say that this is the best edited book I've ever read, it is a bit repetitive (maybe padded could be used, but it does a pretty good job, overall. I think that the more you already know about King, the less this one will appeal.ReplyDelete
"Mockingbird" is one of my favorite bios of all-time, Jenclair. The author did a remarkable job in dealing with someone like Harper Lee who absolutely refuses to be interviewed by anyone...period.ReplyDelete
An excellent review of the King book. I find him fascinating, would love to read this book after reading your review. [Like Mr. King, I do some of my best writing while inebriated, not kidding].ReplyDelete
I have a SIGNED copy of "Mockingbird" here on my shelf.... perhaps I should read that one, too.
I am way behind... way behind in my reading goals Sam.
Cip, depending on how much you already know about King's life and books, this can be a good read. I've read King for a long time - off and on - and I knew at least a little bit about everything she wrote about - but I did learn some new details and consider it to have been worth the couple of days I spent reading it.ReplyDelete
Some critics are panning the author more than the book, I think, because she has done so many unauthorized bios in her career...heck, I think she's just found a niche for herself and is making an honest living at it.
Talk about poor editing... on page 42 she claims that Steve went (in August) to the 1968 Democratic National Convention to support McCarthy over President Johnson "who had promised to pull American troops out of Vietnam if elected..."ReplyDelete
First: Johnson never ran for President in 1968. He announced to the country on March 31: "I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president."
Second: it was Johnson's vice president, Hubert Humphrey who ran against McCarthy for the Democratic nomination.
Third: of course there was no such promise regarding troops being pulled from Vietnam "if elected" because he didn't run.
Not just bad editing, but apparently no fact checking either.
I just read the book, and thought it very good. :)ReplyDelete

Hennechart Legend
DO: "Dead on." Generally reserved for impressive throws above and beyond the call of duty. Examples:
- A bomb that hits a guy in stride.
- A fifteen-yard cross into a zone with only a narrow window between defenders.
- A useful completion in the face of heavy pressure that would normally be an incompletion.
Generally any throw that can be thrown on a three-step-drop (slants, quick outs, screens of all varieties) is going to receive a "CA" at most.
CA: "Catchable." Run of the mill accurate throws. Encompasses a rather wide range from perfectly thrown short throws to downfield stuff that's a bit off but still feasible to catch. There's a subset of throws that live on the CA/IN boundary, which are...
MA: "Marginal." A slant that takes a guy off his feet, or a seam that is way behind a guy but catchable, or a deep ball that is way short but is a jump-ball situation. These are iffy throws that are still capable of gaining yardage... just not as much as they should.
IN: "Inaccurate." Passes that are plain uncatchable but for extraordinary intervention on the part of the wide receiver. All passes destined for Tacopants, Jason Avant's invisible 11-foot-tall imaginary friend, end up here. Completions can show up here if they're relatively simple throws that require a receiver to make a circus catch. Screens that have their timing disrupted because of a quarterback error also show here, as do open three-yard TE outs that would go for first down but for a late throw. If that should ever occur.
BR: "Bad Read." The grand bull-moose category of quarterback errors, these are throws that should not have been made due to excellent coverage, a lack of awareness of the situation, or inability to locate an open receiver.
UPDATE: Lately, I've started calling things "BRX" for XTREME. These don't get filed separately and are just for discussion of QB performance.
TA: "Throwaway." Passes which are not intended to be caught since the quarterback can find no one open. If the QB clearly has an open receiver that he did not find, these throws are usually slotted in the "Bad Read" category, though they're venial sins compared to throws into coverage. Due to the limitations of television coverage this reclassification is rare, but when there are a lot of these despite the quarterback having good time an eyebrow is officially cocked.
BA: "Batted." Balls which are deflected at the LOS. These are generally regarded as fluke occurences and are not held against the quarterback.
PR: "Pressure." Instances where the quarterback is snowed under before he has an opportunity to make a throw. If he hesitates and does not throw despite being given time, that's either BR or TA. PR is reserved for plays that are blown up because of pass rush, not coverage.
SCR: "Scramble." Instances where a quarterback sees a bunch of running room and takes off to good effect. Usually this has to be an obviously good idea--pick up the first, get eight yards on first down--for it to get filed here. Running for three yards on third and eight will get filed under TA.

Inspiring Studios & Workspaces
Seeing the environment where people live and work is fascinating to us here at Apartment Therapy. Not everyone has the space for a separate workspace or craft room. It's amazing to see how artists, designers, and the creative minded rework their homes to fit a studio space.
The folks at Studio Sweet Studio are working hard to share the environment and process in which artists work. Above we can see some of the spaces where featured artists work. I think it's so inspiring to see where others make their art, how they manage their space and — more importantly — how they fit a work environment into their tiny apartments. It's especially fun to see international spaces. The studios above are located in Japan, Czech Republic, and the U.S.

Liberty News
Liberty Athletics presents Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award
|Zach Duke (middle) was presented this year's Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award by Jeff Barber (left), Director of Athletics. Manuel Rivera (right) is the brother of Mac Rivera, a former member of Liberty's basketball team.
Senior wide receiver Zach Duke was honored today at Liberty University's Convocation, as he was named the 2011 Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award winner, the University's highest athletics honor.
The annual award was presented to Duke by Liberty University Director of Athletics Jeff Barber and Manuel Rivera, brother of Mac Rivera.
In 1975, the Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award was established to honor the top senior student-athlete at Liberty University who best exemplifies the standards and lives of both of these great Christian men. Rock Royer was Liberty's first football coach in 1973. Mac Rivera was a member of Liberty's basketball team from 1972 until 1975. Both Rock Royer and Mac Rivera tragically died at a young age, with Royer dying in a plane crash and Rivera passing away after a fall.

The Ike Davis Era was born out of necessity, with the Mets having waived Mike Jacobs, Daniel Murphy injured and Fernando Tatis an unacceptable option.
"I don't see him as a savior,'' manager Jerry Manuel said. "I see him as a complement.''
And, Mets fans will see him, said general manager Omar Minaya.
"We need to get better production from first base, so why not promote the kid,'' Minaya said. "I talked to Jerry about (Davis' playing time). You're not going to bring a kid like that to platoon.''
Here's tonight's line-up for the Mets (4-8):
Angel Pagan, CF
Luis Castillo, 2B
David Wright, 3B
Jason Bay, LF
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Ike Davis, 1B
Rod Barajas, C
Alex Cora, SS
Jon Niese, LP

More than 170 firefighters battled a "major emergency" structure fire at a Valley Village apartment complex Wednesday, authorities said.
Firefighters first were called out to the 5200 block of Bellingham Avenue around 10 a.m. for a fire reported in a second-floor unit of a three-story apartment complex. They rescued two residents from a balcony with ladders, officials said in a statement.
Few details were available, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
[Updated 12:03 p.m.: Firefighters have since knocked down the blaze.]

Liberty team wins dodgeball tournament
Liberty University trains Champions for Christ in many fields ⎯ including dodgeball. Just ask Thomas Hinkley, a 2005 alumnus who recently won the Oct. 30 Richmond Chick-fil-A Charity Dodge Ball Tournament with a group of 10 Liberty staff members and students who call themselves Jerry Jr.'s Boys.
"We had a couple of good rounds and won the college division of the tournament," Hinkley said.
The tournament raises money for Special Olympics Virginia Area 6 and Schools for Niger, Africa. More than 200 teams participated in the tournament.
Until this year, the highest Liberty's team has placed is eighth. Their first-place prize was Chick-fil-A for a year coupons.
The team was organized four years ago by Danny Lamonte, a 2004 alumnus who currently works with Liberty's Student Leadership office.
"We go to the tournament to have fun, but we also see it as an opportunity to proclaim the Lord to other people," he said.

Imagine buying a tube of toothpaste. After using the toothpaste, you are rushed to the emergency room to have your stomach pumped. The paste contained rat poison. But, when you try to complain, you are told that you should have read the label more carefully, as the ingredient list included hydroxycoumarin. You are told that you should have known that meant rat poison.
Now imagine if the conclusion of most pundits and policymakers were "no new laws are needed; you just need more chemistry education." Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?
But that's the same situation consumers face every day with financial products that are advertised at one rate, but that rate mysteriously skyrockets months later.
How do we protect consumers? In the real world, toothpaste is regulated as a product, and the government ensures a basic level of safety. But credit cards, mortgages, and other financial products are treated as contracts. When it comes to contracts, the government views its job as nothing more than enforcing the terms of the contract, regardless of the outcome.
This makes a certain amount of sense when the contract is between two small business owners who are agreeing on the price of installing a new roof. But when it comes to financial products, the law is behaving as if the average consumer were on the same footing as a $1 trillion bank, and that you can quickly analyze the contract and bargain at will.
This is absurd. Just try reading the lengthy contract that comes with your next credit card—and then try calling the bank to tell them you'd like to amend the arbitration clause and the rate disclosure notification period.
The recent hubbub in Congress about a Credit Card Bill of Rights is certainly a step in the right direction. After decades of being held captive by the ultra-powerful banking lobby, it's great to see Washington thinking about consumers for a change.
But does a bill of rights really solve the problem? It certainly tackles a few of the worst abuses: double cycle billing, retroactive rate hikes, and abusive practices toward college students.
But the proposal is silent on a variety of other nasty practices. It doesn't do a thing about those ridiculous penalty fees when the check is 10 minutes late. And while it requires a 45-day notice to increase your rate, card issuers still have the right to raise your rate any time, by any amount, even if you haven't done anything wrong.
A better approach to dealing with the credit card debacle would be a simple proposal to create a Consumer Financial Product Commission.
In the 1970s, Congress created the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), tasked with establishing safety standards, recalling unsafe products, and banning products that pose unreasonable risks. Since then, the CPSC has played a major role in ensuring safer products and a fairer marketplace. They work to keep us safe from lead paint, car seats that collapse on impact, arsenic in kids' toys, and, yes, rat poison in our toothpaste. In fact, the CPSC estimates that standards for three products alone—cigarette lighters, cribs, and baby walkers—save more than $2 billion every year.
Modeled on the CPSC, the proposed Consumer Financial Product Commission would take on the job of ensuring that disclosures are clear, financial products do what they're supposed to do, and the playing field is level and fair. Most important, it could act quickly and nimbly.
If done properly, the new agency would not try to fix prices. Nor would it prevent consumers from ever charging too much on a credit card or taking on a mortgage they can't afford; it would be absurd to try to guarantee that no one would ever behave foolishly. (After all, the CPSC can't prevent someone from throwing a blender into the bathtub.) But the new agency could eliminate the long contracts and give us fewer surprises when we open our credit card statements. And it could stamp out marketing that advertises a 5 percent interest rate in large print and buries the 35 percent interest rate in the fine print.
A Financial Product Safety Commission certainly doesn't sound as exciting as a "Bill of Rights," but it really is a far better way to govern, and could go a long way toward helping consumers. Isn't that worth giving it a try?

A suburban Atlanta doctor was arrested by federal agents for allegedly running a million-dollar-a-month pain clinic that wrote illegal prescription drugs for patients across the country.
Dr. Oscar Stokes has been indicted for reportedly signing prescriptions at the Upper Hembree Road clinic in Alpharetta, Ga., according to the U.S. Attorney's Office using information provided by government informants.
Stokes pled not guilty
One security officer told authorities that he saw many of the same people come and go from the clinic on a daily basis holding several prescriptions in their hands, many of them blank and written by Stokes. Another government witness said Stokes would write up to 72 prescriptions a day, charge $500 a visit and rake in $1 million a month. He said people would sell the pills for up to $200 each.
Stoke's attorney refutes the government claims, saying he wasn't aware that he did anything illegal.
"If his practice doesn't fit into the mold that these government want it to fit into, that doesn't mean he is guilty of a crime," said Page Pate, Stokes' defense attorney, according to WSB-TV. "I've worked a number of these cases and I've never seen a physician so well trained," Pate said.
Pate also added that the patients were prescribed medication within the parameters of the law.
The clinic was closed on Wednesday, but that hardly stopped the parking lot of the clinic from filling up, security guards told the media.

Hypernion has been kindly provided by Muddled Puzzles who make many different types of pure spatial-logic puzzles, all possessing the umbrella brand name Sudokion. The puzzles owe their origin to Sudoku, with its square grid and requirement that every row, column and cluster contain all the set (i.e. all the values — numbers, letters or symbols — of the particular puzzle). But they take the concept much further than Sudoku. All muddled puzzles are the invention of and created by Stephen Jones, co-founder with wife Michele Day of Muddled Puzzles.

East Lansing, MI
My subjects are both natural and architectural. I am interested in textures and shapes and how light and shadow play on those objects often creating new ones. I use a Nikon D-100. a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300, and an iPhone 4s.
I make every effort to compose in the camera and thus I crop infrequently. I use Aperture and Photoshop to work with highlights & shadows which often brings out the elements in a photograph for which I have primary interest. I have no hesitation using any other tool if the results make the photograph work. My preference is to do nothing to a photograph presenting it as it was taken.
My web site is named light & shadows because both light and shadows are the visual elements which hold the most fascination for me. If time and space put me in a day and place with clouds or overcast skies � I shoot in any case. However, I am happiest when the sun is low and the shadows long and distinct.
I spend a long time with any set of photographs deciding which to move into galleries on my web site. The photographs which finally get printed are another smaller set. All the photographs are printed on photographic paper by a commercial photo house to my specifications. Every photograph is named. Each work is signed & numbered on the print face, and on the back. Included on the back is a label with the name, year, descriptive narrative and geographic location.
I mount, mat and frame all of my work. I use double color mats. All materials are of archival quality. My presentation for the public includes matted prints in sizes of 8 x10, 11 x 14 and 16 x 20. Framed work is offered in 12 x 16, 16 x 20, and 22 x 28 frames. I also have a selection of pieces presented on canvas.

Irwin Held, whose license-plate-festooned West Hollywood beer-and-burger spot drew praise from rock stars but protests from gay rights activists, has died. He was 87.
Held died Monday in his Los Angeles home, family members said. He had a kidney ailment.
From 1970 to 1999, Held owned Barney's Beanery, a Santa Monica Boulevard restaurant where Janis Joplin is said to have eaten her last meal and the Doors' Jim Morrison made himself at home.
But for many in a community with a large, politically active gay population, the restaurant's freewheeling feel was tainted by an anti-gay sign that Held inherited when he bought the place and for years refused to take down.
Situated not far from Hollywood's movie studios, Barney's opened in 1927 and drew generations of stars, star wannabes and stars-to-be. William Holden, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Rita Hayworth and many others dived into Barney's trademark beans before Held, an El Segundo beer distributor looking for another opportunity, heard that the tumbledown roadhouse was up for sale.
"It was run into the ground," Held's daughter Linda Shabot told The Times on Tuesday. "I was scared to walk into the place — it looked like a dungeon."
But Held poured himself into his new business, experimenting with the menu as his wife, Sally, kept the books. For years, a sign over the bar — "Fagots Stay Out" — drew little notice from customers. Barney's founder, World War I veteran John "Barney" Anthony, was said to have put it up after police in the 1940s raided his restrooms for then-illegal homosexual activity.
Urged to remove the sign after acquiring Barney's, Held dug in his heels, despite prolonged picketing and other protests.
"He was just one of those guys who didn't like being told what to do with his business," said David Houston, the Beanery's current co-owner. "He was very old-school, and this was a freedom issue."
That wasn't quite how Troy Perry, a clergyman who founded the gay-friendly Metropolitan Community Church, saw it.
In an interview Tuesday, he said he once asked Held what the sign meant.
"It doesn't mean anything," Held said.
"Take it down!" Perry said.
At one point, Held did — only to put up others.
When West Hollywood incorporated in November 1984, it passed an anti-discrimination ordinance. Facing a fine of $500 a day, Held reluctantly removed the sign in January 1985 — and also quit distributing matchbooks with the same offensive slogan.
"For the first time in my life, I know how MacArthur must have felt at Corregidor," he told The Times, alluding to Gen. Douglas MacArthur's 1942 retreat from Japanese troops in the Philippines.
Even as the sign controversy roiled, Barney's drew a legion of music-industry names.
"It was a landmark that meant so much to people in the rock 'n' roll community," said Jim Ladd, a longtime Los Angeles deejay who now hosts a show on Sirius-XM. "It was more than a watering hole — it was a gathering spot for the rebels, the rockers, the raconteurs and the misfits we all love to hang out with."
In a 2008 interview, Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek, who died last month, said he and Morrison used to get into profound talks at the Beanery about politics, the war in Vietnam and topics as arcane as "the philosophy behind Nietzche's existentialism and transcendence." Morrison, who died at 27 in 1971, also would get quite drunk and, according to some accounts, once urinated on the Beanery's bar.
Although Held didn't encourage outrageous behavior, he was willing to take politically incorrect stands.
When California banned smoking in bars, he didn't ban smoking in his bar.
"You don't like this place because of the smoke? Hey, there's another streetcar coming down the road any minute," he told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1998.
Until he sold when he was 73, he worked full shifts at the Beanery, which now operates in five locations. He continued to drop by the original site about once a week until his health started declining.
Born July 1, 1925, in the Bronx, N.Y., Held grew up in an apartment above a neighborhood grocery store owned by his parents. He served in the Marines and moved to Los Angeles in 1950. Sally Held, his wife of 56 years, died in 2006.
He is survived by his daughters Linda Shabot and Ellen Gordon, son Philip Held and four grandchildren.

RoC Cosmetics is the brand of beauty and science. It was founded in France in 1957 with an emphasis on cosmetics for women suffering from problematic skin. RoC is one of the first brands to use retinol, a very effective anti-aging ingredient. In 1943, pharmacist Jean-Charles Lissarrague started managing a Parisian Roge Cavailles pharmacy which specialized in dermatology. In the beginning of the1950s he developed the first fragrance-free skin care formula which led to the established name Roge Cavailles Pharmacy.
Jean-Charles Lissarrague has always put effort in combining beauty with pharmaceutical sources and has been known as a beauty care visionary. Thanks to his pharmaceutical knowledge and experience, he was able to incorporate the most effective ingredients in his products which ultimately led to amazing results. The brand's philosophy is that every woman desires beautiful skin. RoC has introduced a range of innovations with key discoveries like vitamin A (Retinol), THPE (Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine) and E-Pulse. The brand has also introduced sun-protection products. The most recent discovery of RoC is using bioelectricity to fight skin-aging. The carefully picked ingredients follow two main criteria---effectiveness and safety to prevent allergic reactions by providing all skin types with gentle care. The products undergo careful clinical testing by scientists and dermatologists. RoC puts all its effort into women's beauty support and ensures that the application of its products will be an enjoyable experience. By adding passion and attention to details, RoC products represent cosmetic art.

Recreation in the Nashua River Watershed: A Benefit of Conservation
It was the dedication of an outdoorswoman that initiated the formation of the Nashua River Watershed Association in the 1960s. Marion Stoddart's passion for the natural world, in combination with that of hundreds of NRWA members over the decades, has fueled the conservation efforts of the Association.
Our mission is to balance human needs with protection of natural resources, most specifically our precious water resources. Protecting water resources means protecting land resources—forests, fields, riverside greenways—whose use profoundly affects water quality and quantity. The benefits of those conservation efforts go beyond preservation of natural resources. For example, conservation brings economic benefits, ranging from higher property values for homeowners to choice locations for businesses. A very appealing by-product of conservation is the creation of numerous recreational opportunities.
While recreation is not, in and of itself, the mission of the NRWA, we recognize the important role it plays in conservation efforts. People need to know about and value the natural resources in our watershed before they commit to helping protect those resources. A great first step is to get out and enjoy our waterways and trails. We think much of our support comes from those who have fallen in love with a special stretch of river or a favorite path in the woods.

Enumerating everything Newegg Canada sells online is a near impossible feat but let's just say that with their inventory of more than 10.5 million products, it's highly unlikely that you won't indeed find what you're searching.
Renown for its price match guarantee, Newegg promises to match the price of any item that is lower in price up to 14 days after your purchase from any major retailer (i.e. Best Buy, Amazon, Staples, Walmart etc.)
Newegg's return policy ensures that most items can be returned within 30 days. Some conditions apply to both of these, so make sure to read up on them at Newegg.ca.
Similar to TigerDirect, the vast majority of Newegg.ca promo codes revolve around offering discounts on specific items with anything from $5 off to as much as more than $100 off. Every once in a while, however, Newegg Canada promo codes are released for a site wide discount – most of which are usually timed with major events such as Newegg Black Friday deals, Boxing Day, etc. These Newegg Canada coupons are typically in the form of 10% off everything, but sometimes offer a bigger discount if your order total is bigger, such as $10 off $100 or $25 off $200.
Although Newegg.ca free shipping codes are highly sought after, these are very rare and the Newegg Premier membership is a much better alternative for regular customers as it offers free shipping on most items, free returns and the major perk of being able to add up to 4 friends to share the benefits with – score! Other advantages include: special deals, no restocking fees and early notifications about major Newegg sales. If you're still on the fence about it, then take heed that you can even get a free 30-day Newegg Premier trial.
Whether you found a Newegg Canada promo code coupon for an individual product or for a rarely released site wide discount, using it is very easy. All you need to do is: copy the appropriate Newegg promo code from this page and paste it into the "Apply Promo Code" field on the checkout page.

PARKLAND, Fla. - It looks like an estate on the English countryside, but it's State Sen. Jeremy Ring's former home in Parkland and it's on the market for a mere $3 million.
Ring made his fortune with Yahoo! and the 10,640 square-foot home, which he had custom-built, comes with 2.5 acres of land, a lighted tennis court, a home theater, and a "fairytale designed bathroom," according to the promotional material.
The senator is selling the house while in the midst of a divorce from his wife, Sharon, after he took up with former Broward School Board Member Jennifer Gottlieb, who is also getting divorced from her husband, Broward County Judge Ken Gottlieb. The Sun-Sentinel snapped the first public photo of the couple last week during Ring's swearing-in in Tallahassee. Ring, who has three children, told the newspaper that he and Gottlieb were "very important in each other's lives."
Gottlieb, you may remember, resigned from the board last year after a scathing grand jury report singled her out for pushing an unneeded brand new $25 million school in her district that her two sons now attend. The grand jury investigation also found that she had affairs with two school board bankers who at times counted on her vote.
Ring and Gottlieb were heavily rumored to have started their relationship prior to her resignation last October. They appeared publicly together in April at a groundbreaking for the Chabad of Parkland. At that event Ring said that when he went through heart surgery there were two people at his side -- his rabbi and Gottlieb.

State Rep. Cheri Gerou, a prominent Evergreen Republican who is in her sixth year at the statehouse, will not run for re-election in November.
Gerou, the first female member of the House to chair the powerful Joint Budget Committee, has represented District 25 in western Jeffco since first being elected in 2008. She is planning to return to her architecture career.
"I absolutely love the time I've spent in the legislature, and it's been an honor to serve," said Gerou, 58. "But I miss my (architecture) practice. When I walk into a building that's under construction, and I smell the plaster or the paint drying or the wood when they're framing, I have that sense of longing."
Gerou, whose district includes Evergreen and Conifer, could serve another two-year term before reaching term limits. She will remain in office until the end of the year; the current session of the General Assembly ends in May.
"I've had the pleasure of observing and getting to know Cheri Gerou over a number of years," Republican State Chairman Ryan Call said. "I have consistently been impressed by her courage and fortitude over the years. She's been an effective and principled leader. She really deeply cares about this state and the people in it, and I know that is what motivates and drives her."
Rob Witwer, who held the House District 25 seat until he decided not to seek re-election in 2008, said of Gerou: "I think, first and foremost, Cheri is independent — an increasingly rare quality in elected officials these days. It's one that can lead to criticism, but whether or not you agree with her, you can't deny she thinks for herself, and she makes decisions from an independent perspective."
Gerou calls her time in the state House a great experience.
"This is the best district ever to represent," Gerou said. "People in the district have been very kind to me, (but) you know when you feel the need to move on, and I've just been feeling that way."
Gerou said working in Colorado politics has led her to a love for public policy, a passion she never dreamed would interest her.
Gerou and her husband, Phil, both architects, own Gerou & Associates in Evergreen, which they opened in 1971. The firm specializes in residential and commercial architectural work, and has been involved in charity projects in Africa.
In 2012, the firm was hired by the Conifer Historical Society and Museum to prepare a detailed historic structure assessment of the Meyer Ranch House in Conifer as part of determining whether it can be turned into a museum.
'I know who my district is'
Gerou said Witwer gave her some great advice about the job:
" 'When you're considering any bill, vote your conscience, vote your district and vote your party.' I never forgot that advice. Absolutely, I'm a Republican, but I know who my district is. That's how I try to vote. Some of the decisions we make are really tough, but his advice helped me focus and center."
The thing she most regrets is not being able to solve more of the issues faced by victims of the March 2012 Lower North Fork Fire, which was caused by a state Forest Service controlled burn. The blaze killed three people, charred 4,100 acres south of Conifer, destroyed 23 homes, and caused about $11 million in damage.
"I made headway," she said, "but I didn't get it done. That's my biggest regret."
Witwer said of Gerou's departure: "I think that the district will lose a very hard worker, and a longstanding member of the community with deep community ties, a great sense of humor and a tireless work ethic."
Starting out in politics
Not a career politician, Gerou first served in local and state architectural associations, and then was named to the State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors. Before she knew it, she was chair of the board.
When Witwer announced he would not seek re-election, Gerou was asked by colleagues to run for the House.
"I had never thought about it," she said. "I told my husband that people had asked if I would run for the state House. After he stopped laughing, he said maybe I should consider it. I went to lunch with Rob Witwer and a couple of people, and they explained to me what the job was. Running for office was so strange. I never thought I would do it."
The best part of the job
Gerou says meeting with school groups at the Capitol on Friday afternoons is the best part of the job. She explains to them what state legislators do and how bills are passed.
"The last thing I'll do, I'll take them up, and we'll stand on the podium where the speaker stands," she said. "Each one gets to pound the gavel, and we take a group photo. I know I'm making a memory. Somewhere there's a child who may someday serve the state. The idea of that is just so incredible."
Gerou said serving on the JBC was the best way to learn everything possible about state government.
"I've absolutely loved learning about state government and being able to impact it so directly," she said. "It's the best. I never thought there would be that much power and that much knowledge to be gained."
She said it's been gratifying to move the state forward, even though there is only so much money to go around and never enough to solve all issues.
"Sometimes you do your best work when you don't have the money and have to think through the problem," she said.
There's also the challenge of getting the budget passed by both Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate.
"(One year) when I ran my budget, out of the 65 members (in the House), 64 out of 65 voted for it," she said. "I felt really good about it. I didn't mean to do it. I think I just got lucky."
GOP Chairman Call said of her work on the JBC: "I certainly think that she has done an impressive and admirable job as chair of the Joint Budget Committee. It's not a position that is easy. I think she has done a good job of balancing what are often difficult and competing issues and priorities and challenges, and done so in a good way."
Gerou chaired the JBC until Democrats regained control of the House in 2012.
More politics in her future?
"I've learned that you never say never," Gerou said. "I never thought I'd be there in the first place."
She mentioned Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, who served in politics then left, only to return again.
"He kept coming back time after time after time. I absolutely understand the attraction he felt," she said.
"I don't consider being in the legislature a job that I do. To me, it's a gift of service. I'm not there for any other reason other than the fact that the more you give, the more you get back. I'm not going to say I'm not going to do something (in politics) again, but I need to step back for now."
She doesn't know exactly what the future holds.
"When you love to learn and when you love where you live and when you love doing what you do, you end up surprising yourself. I'm waiting to be surprised."
Gerou said that Jan. 1, the first day in her return to life as a private citizen, will be a good one, adding: "I've known for a long time that this was it."

GALLBLADDER DISORDER and ProzacPatientsVille
GALLBLADDER DISORDER Symptoms and Causes
Your gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ under your liver. It stores bile, a fluid made by your liver to digest fat. As your stomach and intestines digest food, your gallbladder releases bile through a tube called the common bile duct. The duct connects your gallbladder and liver to your small intestine.
Your gallbladder is most likely to give you trouble if something blocks the flow of bile through the bile ducts. That is usually a gallstone. Gallstones form when substances in bile harden. Rarely, you can also get cancer in your gallbladder.
Many gallbladder problems get better with removal of the gallbladder. Fortunately, you can live without a gallbladder. Bile has other ways of reaching your small intestine.

I always - always - look an absolute fright. And as I get older it's less easy to conceal with the virtue of youth. I've concluded that my Hennes addiction is partly to blame, so I have decided that I am no longer allowed to go in. Not even to have a little looky-look.
Although thinking about it, my looking a fright might also be because of my wonky teeth and fat hamster face or my cheeks, which are ruddy like a farmer's son or my fat hands and picked-at cuticles. And my stupid hair, which I wish would just do something consistently. Like even if it was very flat and thin at least it would be consistently flat and thin. Or mad and curly at least it could be consistently mad and curly. But instead it veers in completely random non-wavy directions and really whatever I do with it, by 6pm it's almost always shoved up in some kind of straggly, unflattering bun, which really shows off my double chin to full effect.
I'm being disingenuous; my double chin is receeding, thanks to a combination of a fucking hideous Nazi diet and also every time Kitty gets ill (about once a month) I completely freak out and can't eat anything for 48 hours, which does wonders for shifting "un-shiftable" post-baby blubber. Exercise? Please. If you want to be thin you have to STARVE.
Where was I? Oh yes, right, so I'm back in my pre-pregnancy jeans now. I am secretly hoping to over-shoot past my dream weight (9st 3) and plummet down to, like, 8 and a half stone. Ideally, people will be whispering to each other about how worried they are about me. Eldest sister was so thin at Christmas that is was all we talked about and I was terribly jealous, being as I was then packing about three extra stone.
I've lost my original thought again. Clothes! Ok clothes clothes. All mine are shit. I've just done a purge of loads of drab depressing Hennes clothes so now I open my drawers and see about 40 mulchy Top Shop vests, a kaftan, a brown Zara poloneck and a terminally unflattering breton top from Uniqlo. Then I open my wardrobe and see two hideous check shirts, a flowery shirt with a big rip in it I bought in the South of France three years ago, eight party dresses from 2006 when I had to go to a lot of parties and a pink size eight bodycon skirt from Topshop.
I think starting next month I am going to buy ONE really nice thing per month from Net A Porter (price within reason) and when on the loose in Brent Cross, (fatal), I will write on my hand before I go "DON'T GO INTO HENNES".
For my husband, watching television shows like Come Dine With Me is the equivalent of buying a lot of clothes from Hennes. He prefers instead to pick a film neither of us have ever heard of from Pay Per View, watch two thirds of it, start yawning and say "this isn't really doing it for me". We then discuss whether or not to kill it for about ten minutes. We always do. Then we go to bed. It's almost always about 9pm.
But the other night I managed to persuade him to watch an episode of Father Ted and then Come Dine With Me and someone on it made a paella.
"Paella," said my husband. "Now that's a thing we could eat."
Then we had a short discussion over whether we ought to pronounce "paella" "pie-ay-ya" to avoid sounding like we were addressing the third child of Wayne and Waynetta Slob. We concluded that pronouncing words the local way is just too embarrassing, so pie-ellar it remained.
So he made one, although we didn't have any paella rice, or saffron, or prawns, and we used chicken stock instead of fish stock. So it was sort of a risotto. But it was also very much like a paella. And it was TERRIFIC. We were still talking about it the next day.
This is how he did it, in his own words:
"brown four cooking chorizo in a big shallow pan as much like a paella dish as you have (a wok is a top substitute but any big pan will do) on quite a generous slick of olive oil (this is spanish food so it's meant to be a bit oily) and slice later when they're firm (or slice dried chorizo and fry off, or if you have neither then some pancetta or lardons but you must have some cured pork in there one way or another).
Then into the nice meaty red paprika-y fat, chuck a quite finely chopped green pepper, finely chopped onion, three fat cloves of garlic finely chopped, low heat, maybe five mins, till soft but not brown. at this point i chucked in five or six big chunks of left over cold roast chicken, you could pre-brown four nice thighs first if you haven't got leftovers, but you do need some white meat (the original valencian paella has rabbit instead of chicken, but then it has snails instead of shellfish, which NOBODY wants).
okay, then when the chicken has relaxed into the dish, toss in about 200 grams of rice (this will serve three to four people in the end, or two with leftovers - it's better the next day) and toss that around until all the grains are nicely oiled (now, i didn't have paella rice, i had only risotto rice, but Esther said risotto gets its consistency from all the stirring, not the arborio itself, so i went with a bit less stirring and it worked beautifully).
add some paprika at this stage. mild or hot, doesn't matter, it's mostly for colour, and some chilli flakes or crushed dried chilli, not too much. if you have saffron, now is the time for that too. i didn't. and didn't miss it. i used a bit of tumeric for yellowness (but the bright yellow of a costa del sol paella is all food colouring so don't make that your benchmark unless you have a pot of E102 in the cupboard).
so, fry, fry, fry, um, oh yes, two to four nice firm tomatoes, de-seeded (but i didn't bother to skin, the rolled up skins looked a bit like the missing saffron stamens), chopped as small as you can be bothered. stir, stir, stir. i think that's that stage done.
no, wait, then a big glass of white wine or sherry, in, bring to boil and cook off the booze.
so now you have a couple of pints or so of chicken stock (or better still a prawn stock, but i couldn't get prawns) nice and hot on the stove (always use stock hot in things like this becasue it saves everything cooling down and slowing the whole faff down even more - you cd even get away with boiling water), poor about half of it on, so the rice is covered, about the amount that cd get the rice to almost cooked but not quite. and bubble away a a simmer, not stirring, but maybe poking a bit to make sure all the rice is under, for about ten minutes, by now it should taste pretty good (assuming you've had the nouse to salt it according to your own taste) but still the grains too hard and starchy.
now is the time to lob in a big handful of clams and one of mussels, bought that morning and scrubbed hard under the tap. push them into the top of the rice hinges down so they open gaping upwards and look pretty, and also one nice big squid (emptied and the horn removed obviously) sliced into rings, and the crown of tentacles halved. poke these down into the rice a bit, then cover with foil or a lid, and cook for another ten minutes or so, so that the shells are open, the squid has turned white and opaque and the rice is done. (if you've got prawns then put them in at the same time as the other shell fish but just fry them off for a couple of minutes first).
serve on plates, picking out all the shellfish and making sure it gets eaten becasue it is not so stellar in the leftovers, and garnish with chopped parsley. eat it with a cheap rioja topped up with a splash of lemonade.
i've probably forgotten a couple of things. [Like: he chucked a handful of samphire over it, which you can do if you want or not if not.] it's basically a cross between a jamie, a delia and an anthony worrell-thompson that all come up on the first page when you google 'paella' - but ignore all the websites with "spain" or "spanish" in the name, because that's just wankers going on about authenticity."

Samuel Barnard Williams was living in New Carlisle, Ohio, in 1840 when he wrote this letter to his brother Elisha who was in Boston, Massachusetts. The presidential election of 1840 is generally seen as the first modern election, with slogans such as "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too", rallies and electioneering by incumbent politicians. Williams refers to "Old Tip"-- a popular nickname for Whig Party candidate William Henry Harrison. In 1840, state offices in Ohio were held by Democrats--the party of Martin Van Buren who was the incumbent president. Williams comments about the heavy spending and electioneering by the state politicians in hopes of the Democratic Party winning the state. He is quite happy with the outcome of the election as the Whig party won both nationally and in Massachusetts where John Davis was elected governor. He mentions that Ohio was the first state to vote because up until 1845, there was no federally set day for the election. States could pick their own dates to choose members of the electoral college and voting was often carried out over several days.

If you're looking for a quick read on electronics-based electrical safety devices, check out "Overcurrents and Undercurrents — All about GFCIs, AFCIs, and Similar Devices," written by Earl W. Roberts. The small-sized book, published in 2004 by Reptec, Mystic, Conn., begins with a discussion of the basics of shock and its effect on the human body, and moves into a review of overcurrent protection devices and grounding practices currently employed in the industry.
After introducing readers to the different types of residual current devices (RCDs) used in other parts of the world, the author does a good job of defining and describing all the different types of RCDs used in the United States, starting with the birth of the GFCI in 1961. He does a wonderful job of tying these different stages of product development in with the introduction of new NEC requirements, starting with the 1968 issue of the NEC. His Code revision sections offer a historical overview of how the requirements for these "people protectors" have progressed throughout the years. In addition, his descriptions of the various types of protective devices (GFCI, GFP, AFCI) are well supported with useful diagrams and photos.
The book also introduces us to several not-so-common devices in use today. Do you know what an ALCI does? What about an ELCI? Better yet, what do you know about IDCIs or LMRs? If these acronyms sound like Greek, maybe now is the time for you to check out this handy little reference tool.
The book lists for $25 and can be purchased from the author at [email protected].

The Grayville Police Department may soon have a new auxiliary officer.
The Grayville Police Department may soon have a new auxiliary officer.
Chase Powell of Grayville, a trainee with the GPD, will undergo police academy training beginning Nov. 16, Chief of Police Mark Worlds told the Grayville City Council at its meeting Monday, Sept. 23.
Powell, a 2011 graduate of Grayville High School, is enrolled at Olney Central College and pursuing a degree in criminal justice with an ultimate goal of becoming a police officer, Worlds said.
Powell is the son of Gene and Sue Powell of rural Grayville.
More police matters
Worlds also reported Sgt. Jess Burley and Cpl. Roy Mann recently completed certification as juvenile officers, and Burley is presently undergoing training as a lead homicide detective. Completion will mean both he and Mann are certified in that capacity.
Edwards County warrants for the arrests of two juveniles were issued Friday night and all three suspects in an August burglary of the Northside Baptist Church have been rounded up, Worlds said.
Grayville Days was by and large placid, Worlds reported. With assistance from the Edwards and White Counties sheriff's departments, GPD chalked up only two hours of overtime for the weekend. Worlds said six arrests unconnected to the festival were made.
A cruiser used by Burley and his K-9, Tara, remains sidelined as mechanics attempt to identify the cause of a vibration that occurs when the squad car hits 30 miles per hour, Worlds said.
Frost Acres lot sold
The Council, with Jordan and Water Commissioner Andy Linnemann absent, voted unanimously to sell a lot in Frost Acres to Aaron and Dawn Kleinschmidt for $4,320.
There were no other bidders for the property, which was purchased for that amount by the city as part of a free lot program that failed to blossom. No one appeared for a public hearing regarding the sale, held prior to the Council meeting.
Upgrade prison entrance
The city's Motor Fuel Tax program was amended to improve an entrance to the old prison property at the Illinois Route 1 and Interstate 64 interchange on the south end of town.
The property is presently being farmed by Lamont Farms. A paved lot remaining from the aborted prison construction serves as a parking area for water tanks owned by Rain for Rent, a company that provides water for frack jobs in Indiana.
Mayor Joe Bisch said the city will tap MFT funds for improving the entrance to the property from Illinois 1.
Halloween hours set
Trick or treat hours were set for 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31.
The hours overlap with the annual Lions Club costume contest, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. on that date. The Lions may elect to hold the contest on the new outdoor stage downtown if the weather is agreeable, said Gas Commissioner Andy Brock. The event has traditionally been held at the neighboring Wabash Theater.
Loan request on hold
A request by Windsor Oaks, LLC, to tap the city's revolving loan program was put on hold.
City Attorney Jay Walden reported the city's revolving loan committee met earlier in the day, but decided to "request some additional information for that to be considered."
The company, owned by Dr. Suman Patel of Michigan, operates the Windsor Oaks Inn at the I-64 interchange. Patel hopes to use low-interest loan funds to underwrite part of a remodeling and upgrading project for the 25-year-old facility.

When it comes to protecting older patients from the ravages of shingles and its sequelae, family physicians have no better weapon in their arsenal than the herpes zoster vaccine. But, like every other vaccine, it only works if patients get it.
Unfortunately, a recent study(www.plosmedicine.org) found that despite the documented effectiveness of the herpes zoster vaccine in preventing shingles and its most common complication -- postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) -- few people are receiving the immunization.
The study, published in the open-access online journal PLoS Medicine, looked at more than 765,000 randomly selected Medicare beneficiaries ages 65 and older who either received or did not receive the zoster vaccine between Jan. 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2009.
Among the study's findings:
- Vaccine uptake was low overall, at 3.9 percent, and was lowest among blacks (0.3 percent) and those with low income (0.6 percent).
- The shingles incidence rate was 10.0 per 1,000 person-years among unvaccinated participants and 5.4 per 1,000 person-years among vaccinated participants, yielding an overall vaccine effectiveness level of 48 percent.
- Vaccine effectiveness against incident herpes zoster among immunosuppressed individuals was lower, at 37 percent, but effectiveness against PHN was 59 percent.
"Despite strong evidence supporting (the vaccine's) effectiveness, clinical use remains disappointingly low, with particularly low vaccination rates in particular patient groups," the authors wrote in the study conclusion. "This study shows that herpes zoster vaccination is associated with a reduction in PHN in routine clinical use.
"As PHN is the major complication of herpes zoster and is associated with highly significant morbidity and adverse impacts on quality of life, substantial efforts are needed to increase vaccine use in routine care of elderly individuals."
According to an editorial note that accompanied an article in the Feb. 1 issue of the CDC's Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report, adult coverage levels for the herpes zoster vaccine, as well as the pneumococcal and hepatitis B vaccines, remain "unacceptably low" and are well below the respective target levels(healthypeople.gov) set by HHS' Healthy People 2020 initiative. This poor showing further highlights the need to step up efforts to increase adult vaccination coverage. The CDC also noted that physician vaccination recommendations are associated with patients actually getting vaccinated.
"Routine assessment of adult patient vaccination needs, recommendation and offer of needed vaccinations for adults should be incorporated into routine clinical care of adults," the CDC said. "The adult immunization schedule, updated annually, provides current recommendations for vaccinating adults and a ready resource for persons who provide health care services for adults in various settings."
