Dear Directors Zimmer and Lyon:
Thank you for your response, dated August 4, 2015, to my initial letter of July 20, 2015, requesting an investigation into the practices of Planned Parenthood's Michigan affiliates.
As I am sure you are aware, there now have been five publicly released videos in which Planned Parenthood executives can be seen discussing the possible skirting of laws and regulations regarding the sale of aborted fetuses. Specifically, the fifth video contains an apparent admission by a senior Planned Parenthood official that the organization illegally alters abortion methods to obtain parts for sale and uses accounting gimmicks and shifting "line items" to hide the illegal sale of body parts as part of a "diversification of the revenue stream."
The videos depict potential illegal activity in Texas, Colorado and California, but warrant attention from regulating agencies in every state. Michigan residents deserve to know whether such atrocities are being committed in our own state. As the regulating bodies for Michigan, what assurances can your departments give that illegal practices are not occurring here?
For instance, to the extent possible, I would appreciate receiving this and other information you would deem relevant to the main inquiry:
- What are the inspection protocols and practices?
- Are the inspections you mention based on the call for an investigation or are they ongoing?
- Approximately how many inspections have been completed and what were the results? Please provide the date of the most recent inspection at each facility and how the specific concerns raised in this letter were addressed in that inspection.
- Are inspections scheduled or unscheduled?
- Have any affiliates received money for fetal tissue?
If more oversight mechanisms would benefit your respective departments in providing assurances, I would also be interested in hearing your recommendations for those.
Again, thank you for your prompt response.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) continues its community engagement efforts this week with six scheduled meetings to address its utilization crisis. Officials today encouraged parents and other members of school communities to attend meetings in their areas.
"Last week, we listened to the voices of more than two thousand CPS students, parents and teachers, as well as other members of local school communities," said CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett. "And we hope to hear from thousands more at meetings taking place this week."
Meetings scheduled for this week are:
• 2/4/2013 Burnham Park 7:00-9:00pm St. Anselm Church, 6045 S. Michigan
• 2/5/2013 Garfield-Humboldt 7:00-9:00pm Mt. Vernon MB Church, 2622 W. Jackson
• 2/6/2013 Pershing 7:00-9:00pm Fuller Park Field House, 311 W. 45th St.
• 2/6/2013 Pilsen-Little Village 7:00-9:00pm Arturo Velasquez Institute, 2800 S. Western
• 2/7/2013 Skyway 7:00-9:00pm Our Lady of Peace Rectory, 7851 S. Jeffrey
• 2/9/2013 Rock Island 11:00-1:00pm Metropolitan Family Services, 235 W. 103rd St.
CPS is holding two meetings in each school network. The first series of community meetings, which began last week, each include a presentation on data and metrics on all schools at the Network level, a public comment period and interactive discussions. Independent facilitators will be on hand to ensure that school communities are engaged in the discussion and have opportunities to provide their feedback.
The second series of meetings, beginning February 13, are a follow-up conversation to the first series of meetings, and will include discussions about specific schools still under consideration at that time.
This will allow communities to provide input and feedback on schools that remain on the table in their neighborhoods. While this list will not represent the final set of recommended schools that will go before the Chicago Board of Education, it will give communities the opportunity to give CPS crucial feedback on individual schools to better inform CEO Byrd-Bennett before she makes her final recommendations to the Board in March.
In January, CEO Byrd-Bennett announced that high-performing Level 1 schools and high schools are no longer being considered as part of this process and therefore will not be part of the discussion at these community meetings. She removed these schools from consideration in order to provide school communities with as many high-performing school options as possible and to address safety and concerns associated with including high schools in this process.
CEO Byrd-Bennett formed the independent Commission on School Utilization to gather data about the District's utilization challenges and to engage school communities around how to best address them. After hearing from hundreds of parents and school community members at 10 public meetings, the Commission issued a series of recommendations to remove schools from consideration as part of this process, including taking high schools and high-performing Level 1 schools off the table. CEO Byrd-Bennett embraced both of these recommendations and she and her team are in the process of further defining and applying the Commission's other recommendations, which will remove more schools from consideration as part of this process.
CPS is holding meetings related to school utilization as the District is facing a very real and daunting utilization crisis, due in large part to a significant population drop in Chicago over the last decade. Today, CPS serves 403,000 students, but has space for 511,000. Nearly 140 schools are more than half-empty and about 50 percent of all schools are underutilized. In the face of a $1 billion deficit next fiscal year, this utilization crisis is stretching the District's limited resources much too thin. By addressing this crisis, CPS will be able to better redirect resources and invest in programs and supports that provide all children with a more well-rounded, high-quality education, such as new technology, playgrounds, libraries, AC, more nurses and counselors and art and music programs.
School communities are being notified of the community meetings via a variety of communication methods, including robo-calls, letters mailed home, by email, via cps.edu, on social media and at individual schools. A complete list of upcoming community meetings can be found below:

Dan and I are headed to Cape Cod this weekend, and I'm really looking forward to it. We'll be staying with my parents in Harwich, dining at Chillingsworth in Brewster, galavanting around Provincetown and hopefully catching the lovely Independence Day Parade in Chatham.
We'll also be celebrating our anniversary there. It was four years ago, at the Crown and Anchor on July 4, that Dan and I met. I get all nostalgic every time we go back. I can't wait.

06-17-04 Third straight win for Celina ACME
By Gary R. Rasberry firstname.lastname@example.com
ROCKFORD -- Ron Fortkamp didn't have to search for words for his postgame thoughts after Wednesday's contest. "A win is a win," said the Celina ACME coach after his Bulldogs came back from two runs down in the sixth to tie the game, then score three times in the top of the seventh to beat Parkway 5-2 at Don Black Field in Rockford. "We didn't play our best, but we found a way to win." Celina gave up the early lead to a Parkway team that had to scramble to put together a starting lineup with school athletic physicials keeping players away from the diamond, prompting the game to start one hour later than the usual 6:30 p.m. pitch. For the early part of the game, the jerry-rigged lineup made the most of the opportunity as the Panthers scored on a wild pitch then ran the suicide squeeze to perfection to go up 2-0 after four innings of play. "Parkway was at a disadvantage early," said Fortkamp. "I think they used the first nine (guys that came out)." While Parkway was scoring, Celina was having trouble with the curveball of Tyler Brickley. Brickley scattered five hits through the first five innings, allowing just one run when Doug Vorhees scored on Kyle Hawk's sacrifice fly. "We didn't like his curveball. It was tough," said Fortkamp. "We started thinking too much about curves and we didn't hit for three or four innings. Give him a lot of credit, he pitched a real nice game." "Brickley threw an outstanding game with all this humidity," said Parkway coach Mike Moorman. "It started to get to him." Things started to fall apart in the sixth for Parkway as Brickley showed signs of fatigue. The Panthers were able to get the first two outs of the inning, but pinch-hitter Andy Waesch kept the inning alive by hitting a shot to shortstop that was misplayed for an error. Vorhees was hit by a pitch and Nick Gray drew a walk to load the bases before Moorman called on Matt High from rightfield to try and get out of the jam. High got Joe Roberts to a 1-2 count before hitting him and bringing home Cody Koesters, who re-entered in his spot for Waesch, to tie the game at 2-all. Jordan Heuker, who came in to pitch for starter Caleb Byrley in the fourth, got Parkway out in order in the bottom of the sixth to set Celina up for a chance to win in regulation. Hawk led off with a single to left and Darren Fleck received the bunt sign and laid down a perfectly-placed bunt that was not fielded, giving Fleck a hit. Eric Braun was called on to try a bunt and succeded, dashing down first to load the bases. After an out was recorded, Fortkamp called for the suicide squeeze with Koesters at the plate. Hawk left a little early from third base but Parkway didn't notice it and Koesters put the ball down the right slide and made it to first after Hawk slid in for the game-winner. Vorhees then wapped up the scoring by singling to left to bring in two more runs. "I don't know how many bunt coverages we messed up," said Moorman. "We messed up numerous coverages, things we work on in practice. I don't know. We just didn't execute today. That's what lost us the ballgame." Tim Shellabarger started the seventh inning for Parkway by reaching on an error. Dusty Ford then grounded to short as Nick Gray threw to second for the force out but Ford made the second out when he was thrown out trying to steal second. Jeff Boyer ended the game with a pop-up to third. Heuker picked up the win with 3 2/3 innings of one-hit baseball, striking out four and not allowing a walk. "He came in and did everything we could possibly ask of him," Fortkamp said of Heuker. "I thought we had a little bit of a defenisve lapse in the fourth that put Byrley in trouble, so we went and brought in Jordan. To get out of that (the fourth) with (giving up) one run was nice." "We had some guys who just didn't seem to have their heads out there. We had a weird start to the game, but that was no excuse. Celina did a great job coming back. Coach Fortkamp called a great squeeze play in the seventh," said Moorman. "I'm learning a lot about some people. We'll try to come back but we can't have the mental mistakes." Vorhees led Celina with a 3-for-3 day with two runs batted in while Roberts went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Celina is at home tonight for a 7 p.m. game with Greenville while Parkway stays at home with St. Henry coming to Rockford for a 6:30 p.m. contest.

Jockey Daniel Moor has secured the prized mount on Cool Chap in the Group 1 $500,000 South Australian Derby (2500m) at Morphettville on Saturday.
Co-trainers Lee and Anthony Freedman were left without a rider for South Australian Derby top fancy Cool Chap after booked jockey Daniel Stackhouse was suspended for careless riding at last Sunday's Ballarat meeting, forcing him to miss Saturday's Festival Of Racing's meeting.
The Freedman brothers then had to search for a suitable rider and ended up booking Moor who has had plenty of success for the stable in the past.
But Moor will have to be on his A game after Cool Chap drew barrier seventeen in the original drew and will jump from the outside of the capacity field when it is reduced to sixteen runners at final scratching time on race morning.
Cool Chap heads to the South Australian Derby on the back of a win in the Listed $200,000 VRC St Leger (2800m) at Flemington on April 25 and Lee Freedman said that the High Chaparral three year old has continued to please on the training track.
"His work leading up to the Derby has been as good as it was before the St Leger,'' Freedman said.
"He's such a good little staying horse you have to give him a crack at it.
"He's a genuine horse and he stays well."
Cool Chap has only had three runs for the Freedmans and scored first up for the stable with a win in a 2000m three year old Handicap at Caulfield on March 26 followed by a second to South Australian Derby rival Charlevoix in Listed $150,000 Ladbrokes Galilee Series Final (2400m) at Sandown on April 9 before winning the VRC St Leger.
Freedman said that Cool Chap would miss the Spring Carnival no matter what the result was in the South Australian Derby and head to the paddock for good spell.
"He's been a bit of a revelation. He's a lovely horse, but we probably won't push on for a big spring campaign," Freedman said.
"He's a bit immature yet and I'm giving him a relatively big autumn, so we'll probably be a bit light on him in the spring."
Cool Chap currently shares the second line of betting for the South Australian Derby at $5.50 with the Darren Weir trained Howard Be Thy Name behind the Mick Kent trained Charlevoix who heads the Ladbrokes.com.au market order at $3.90.
South Australian Derby market order at Ladbrokes.com.au: $3.90 Charlevoix, $5.50 Howard Be Thy Name, Cool Chap, $7 Tarquin, $10 Arcadia Dream, $14 Etymology, $17 Sacred Eye, $18 Royal Rumble, $26 Bullish Stock, $31 Manhattan Boss, $34 Mail It In, Rong Door Reggie, Ascot Red, $51 First Impressions, $61 Tuff Bickie. $67 Prince Of Pagoda, $126 Dropped.

Anyway, back to the writing. Now, Thor and Hulk have both touched on the subject of taking breaks from writing. But I wanted to dig a little deeper on this and talk about Writing Slumps. So let's break it down.
What Exactly Is A Writing Slump?
A writing slump is a period of time - usually more than a week - where you don't want to write, or you can't bring yourself to write. Every time you try to make yourself write again, you just can't seem to pick up the story. Like those times I wanted so desperately wanted to stop exercising and quit conditioning all together.
I thought it would never pay off.
Now, in some cases this can be called writers block. But we're talking slump here. A step up from a lack of inspiration. In this case, to put it bluntly, it's laziness. For example, take this instance in my hero career:
You probably know what I'm talking about here. I'm called to duty, promptly turned minion by that puny god Loki, thankfully returned to myself, spend hours being said hero and then, bam, I crash in a schwarma shop for a break. But I have a confession to make. After all that crazy hero schebang, I didn't want to go back to training and saving the world. I just wanted to sit there eating shawarma for the rest of my life. Therein lies the problem.
What's The Problem With Writing Slumps?
Let me get this straight. I have nothing against taking a short writing break to clear your head and get back in the right mood. But it's when you don't start writing again, that we hit trouble. Why? Because we simply aren't writing. Anything. We're relaxing and focusing on other things, slowly pushing writing to the back of our brain. And well, when we think about writing again, it's so much easier to push aside for another time.
And another..
And another...
I think it goes without saying from this point on. We don't want to get caught in a situation where we aren't writing because we don't feel like it. Cuz, if we never FEEL like it? We ain't never gonna write. And if we never write? Well down the drain go all your writerly hopes and aspirations. You can wave goodbye now.
And going back to my definition, once you are in a writing slump, you won't WANT TO WRITE. I mean sure one side of your brain is all "I need to find out what happens to my characters next!" But the other side of your brain will be all. "It's so much Woooork. I'll do it later." So not wanting to, turns into can't bring yourself too, and that's when you turn into a quitter.
The number one thing you're going to have to do if you are serious about staying out of these death traps, is Write. Force yourself to write.How Do I Avoid A Writing Slump?or pull myself out of one?
This is where you butt in, "But Thor told us to take a break!"
Thor is right. We do need breaks. But even if you're on a break for your most recent WIP, doesn't mean you have to stop writing. Write something new! Focus on a completely different genre. Have a secret project that is your guilty pleasure. Something you love. Something you can read without thinking how freaking hard writing is.
Breaking away from a slump is another matter though. In this case, I would surround yourself with your writing buds. People who you can relate to, who can encourage you. Positive peer pressure works wonders for the down-trodden soul.
You can also start small. Write a quick scene, or something related to your novel to get your brain back into the world you are focusing on. Brainstorm. If you keep a notebook full of notes, crack it open and read. Who knows what will inspire you.
So it's up to you now. Draw the line between failure and success. Aim for the goal and shoot for the sky. No writing slumps can stop you! Go and write like the wind! Hawkeye believes in you.

Road to Growth: A model for boosting women's business success
Published: October 2018
Our Road to Women's Business Growth initiative, developed in partnership with the ExxonMobil Foundation, aims to boost the financial literacy and business management skills of women owners of small businesses. This report seeks to add further insight to the critical discourse evidencing effective interventions to advance women's economic empowerment. Drawing on the findings of an independent evaluation of the Road to Growth pilot in Nigeria, conducted by the London School of Economics' Innovation Co-Creation Lab, it presents encouraging evidence that our model delivered significant impact for women entrepreneurs.

Empowering Women, Broadening Horizons
An Independent Evaluation Of The Mentoring Women in Business Programme
Published: June 2016
Supported by the Qualcomm® Wireless Reach™ initiative, Bank of America and Marsh & McLennan Companies, we have published this report on the results achieved by our Mentoring Women in Business Programme. Since its pilot in 2010, the programme has supported over 2,000 women entrepreneurs in over 90 low and middle income countries. This report examined outcomes from the programme's first five cohorts of mentee and mentor graduates.

Together with the ExxonMobil Foundation we have published a report, Evaluating Business Women, a Mobile Value Added Service for Women Entrepreneurs. The Business Women service was designed through a partnership with the ExxonMobil Foundation and Nokia to deliver business training specifically tailored for women entrepreneurs via SMS. Since it first launched in 2012, the service has reached over 100,000 women in Nigeria, Indonesia and Tanzania.
Published: November 2011
The mobile industry is fast-paced and diverse, driven largely by innovation and the huge increases in consumer demand that have occurred in recent years. Women in particular stand to gain a great deal from selling mobile products and services, as setting up a mobile phone business presents fewer barriers than many other income-generating activities that exist in an emerging market. However, in order for women to flourish within the mobile industry, they must be supported by the companies and network operators that serve the markets in which these women live. The mobile sector has a significant opportunity to promote positive socio-economic change by fostering the capability and confidence of women entrepreneurs working in their retail chains and by recognizing and providing solutions to overcoming traditional barriers to finance that many women face.
Published: July 2012
The Cherie Blair Foundation and GSMA Development Fund published a ground-breaking report in February 2010, quantifying the gender gap in mobile technology across developing countries – Women & Mobile: A Global Opportunity. The report shows that, by extending the benefits of mobile phone ownership to more women, a host of social and economic goals can be advanced, but 300 million women are missing out on the mobile revolution. This translates to a $13bn revenue opportunity for mobile operators.
Published: April 2012
The exponentially increasing rate of mobile penetration in low and middle income countries offers many opportunities for women entrepreneurs to grow and expand their enterprises through the use of technology. However, women entrepreneurs also face specific challenges to business growth, such as limited access to adequate marketing channels and insufficient training opportunities. Historically, few mobile solutions have had the scale necessary to empower large numbers of women, and the majority of services for business use are generally not tailored to address the precise regional and local barriers that women face.
Published: February 2012
Research indicates that there is a significant gender gap in access to mobile technology in South Asia, where a man is 37% more likely to have access to a mobile phone than a woman. Closing this gender gap could be nothing short of life-changing, enabling women to access vital business and financing opportunities that can, in turn, enhance their incomes and livelihoods.
Cherie joined a panel at the Skoll World Forum to discuss business as a catalyst for poverty alleviation and its role in women's financial inclusion.
"No one expects the private sector to solve the world's problems alone – partnership is key" Cherie at the Fortune-TIME Global Forum.
At the Fortune-TIME Global Forum in Rome Cherie joined Bineta Diop, Special Envoy for Women, Peace, and Security at the African Union, to discuss how we can harness the economic power of women and girls.
Before moderating a panel discussion at the Trust Women Conference, Cherie was interviewed on Newsnight about her views on gender equality and the work of the Foundation.
"Technology is a way of giving the poor that access to the global world, to the global economy that they otherwise don't have" – Cherie in interview with CNBC
During the BNP Paribas Sustainable Future Forum, Cherie spoke to CNBC about our work to leverage technology and empower women entrepreneurs.
During the United Nations General Assembly in New York this year, Cherie joined a great line up at the Concordia Summit for a conversation about how achieving gender equality affects more than women.

I haven't posted in a while as i haven't much news to report, all is quiet on the frontline.
Emily's Song is continuing to play at festivals around the world. It is currently touring in America as part of the International Film Festival of Cinema and Technology. We also recently screened in the Bangkok International Children's Film Festival and at the Kurz Film Festival in Cologne. And although things have slowed down with Emily's Song we are still getting requests to see it from other festival, which is nice.
No news on Bill, For Short, but the festival I've entered don't close their doors for months to come, so I reckon it will be a while before I hear yay of nay. But it's getting a good responce from the few who have seen it, I'm happy to say.
I'm currently helping my friend John Lawlor with his college films, which is loads of fun. We shot a fake commercial for an iPod, which involved a 1985 Steve Jobs in a Back To The Future tie-in, it was funny.
We also completed a 9 minute comedy short this week called "My One Regret." About a guy who has the worst day of his life, where everything goes wrong. I'm the guy!
Me in "My One Regret" a film by John Lawlor.
It involved diving into bathtubs, summer-salting out doorways, running around town and generally acting like a buffoon! But it was fun, I enjoyed it and so far the results have been getting big laughs. Especially from my Dad, who watched it today and almost had a heart attack he laughed so hard at one particular scene! So was worth it for that alone!
Again it comes down to having fun, gorilla style, with digital technology in the "Shut up and Shoot" school of filmmaking. Perhaps the stuff I'm doing right now isn't high-art and I don't expect it to win any awards, but hell, it's good fun and getting home stiff and sore from spending the day rolling around like a fool and laughing is a good feeling, I'd recommend it to anyone!
I'm starting to write the next in our series of "Shut up and Shoot" films, another comedy, which is a bit more complicated then the last three, but should be loads of fun and hopefully very funny. I'll keep you posted on what's to come.
On the grander projects, I have finished the second draft of "Ghoster" and I'm happy with it. There are still some changes I want to make. I feel like I need to get deeper into the characters and the subtleties of their relationships. I'm only touching on it now, but I could take it much further.
"The Race" is still being sent around and we're looking at the possibility of shooting it in Australia! I'm talking to a producer down there who is interested in it. Hopefully some more news there in the coming months.
I'm back working on another draft of "The Wolf of Nevermore." I'm excited about it. I made a lot of changes and I think it skips along at a much better pace with a lot more going on. I've been dying to make a Horror film since I started writing, but a certain kind of horror, there's a type of foreboding atmosphere I want to capture. That feeling you get when walk through a forrest at dusk, just as the sun has dipped behind the horizon and darkness is coming and you suddenly realise you're not quite sure how to get out, panic rises... I love that feeling and I think I know how to get it with this script.
Well, that's all from me for now. It just leaves me to congratulate Darren Thornton for his continued success on "Frankie," it has been doing amazing business. Having won at Cork and Galway it has gone one to recieve the UIP Prix at the prestigious Berlin Film Festival, which automatically qualifies it for the European Film Awards. So well done there, long may it run.
I also just wanted to say that I'm delight the guys won the Oscar for Once! I loved that movie and I found it very moving to see those guys on stage recieving that little gold statue! And I was excited to see Daniel Day-Lewis pick up the Oscar!
That's me! Hope all is well readers, whoever you may be?! Please feel free to leave comments, ask questions, I'd be happy respond. Thanks!
Bye for now

Lecture Capture Done Right
The Crestron Capture-HD is very simple and easy to use. For many teachers being of the older generation, it can be hard for them to stay current with the new technologies on the market and how to use them. With this system, recording is incredibly easy and there is little training needed to be done with the staff. On the display, it shows a live image to the presenter of how they will be viewed and what information will be displayed. All they have to do is push record and when they are finished, push "end capture" for the presentation to be automatically uploaded. This can be uploaded to a USB device or sent to programs such as Blackboard. Simplicity for professors is one of the main appeals of Crestron's Capture-HD.
Another great thing regarding this device is the low cost. With great capabilities of the Capture-HD, the cost is undoubtedly fair. Being around a quarter of the price of its competitors, the low cost makes the appeal of this product even greater.
The main reason we stress this product is due to its incredible efficiency to communication information when being used within universities. With more universities going green, increasing the volume of online classes available, and providing online capabilities, the Crestron Capture-HD is a great solution. It allows for easy integration of classrooms, lecture halls, and training facilities. The high quality CaptureLive HD allows for recording of full-motion 1080p or 720p to be saved with the 32 gigs of memory for over 8 hours of recording. It allows teachers to schedule the dates of their presentations and when they are to be published. Presenters can display a wide range of content like PowerPoint, documents, and videos to their students. This allows students to view the content either in the classroom, from their mobile devices, and from their dorm rooms.

After Asiana Airlines crash, should you fear flying?
One can only imagine what it must have felt like to be a passenger on an international flight for over 10 hours, to feel the aircraft at last coming in for a landing at San Francisco International Airport only to come up short, then to experience parts of the plane coming off and bursting into flames as you struggled to get out alive.
When I spoke with Dr. Chris Barton, Chief of Emergency Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital (where more than 50 of the survivors were brought for emergency treatment after the crash), he told me that "we saw 'a lot' of spinal injuries… probably from the axial loading of the plane slamming the ground – twice. A lot of facial bruising and forehead contusions – probably from the heads hitting the seat back in front of them."
What a frightening and horrific event for the passengers and their families. Even as their bodies heal most, if not all, will still be faced with nightmares, panic attacks, flashbacks, and other symptoms of post-traumatic stress for months after the crash, if not for the rest of their lives.
And what about the rest of us -- those who watched the horrific images of the crash over and over on the news?
Will we now over-personalize the risk of flying?
Will we attach ourselves voyeuristically to the 24-hour-news reports and fear for our own safety?
Will we be poor role models for our children; extending our unease to them?
If we prepare in advance for possible plane crashes by wearing pants and sneakers and memorizing the emergency exits whenever we get on a plane, won't we in fact be telling ourselves that an extremely rare event is actually about to happen?
Yet, as incredible as it sounds, we are no more likely to get into a plane crash today then we were yesterday, even if it feels like our odds have changed.
Most of us are afraid of flying to begin with. Flying by its nature scares us because it involved travelling 30,000 feet above the ground at hundreds of miles per hour and relinquishing control over our lives to a strange pilot we've never before met. The news that the pilot who crashed the plane at San Francisco did not have much experience flying a Boeing 777 certainly doesn't reassure us, though this was another extremely rare event.
Fear is a very powerful, contagious emotion especially the fear of death, but the facts remain on the side of air flight safety.
The number of deaths on U.S. highways in a year is typically more than 40,000, which is more than double the entire number of people who have died in commercial airplanes over the past half century. So if fear of flying leads you to forego air travel and drive to your destination instead, your chances of dying in an accident increase dramatically.
It is certainly understandable, if not entirely rational, that people across America are afraid to fly today. Over time this fear will extinguish itself, even as the roving eye of the news media moves on to the next disaster and we become afraid of that kind of an event instead.
What if I told you that courage and laughter flow through the same emotional centers of the brain as fear? If instead of giving in to our worry, how about if we learn to laugh at ourselves, and then show the courage we need to get on the next plane.
Over time, the courage to fly can cure the fear of flying. I can't guarantee it in all cases, but it is my prescription for today.

If you are anything like me, you will sometimes find yourself in the dark hole that is Comparing Yourself To Others. I've probably lived most of my life comparing myself to others; in school, in sports as i got older in work and now in blogging and social media. There are so many ways in which we can compare ourselves, I mean it's completely human to want to compare yourselves to others, but it is something which can turn into a bad habit, a bad joy stealing habit. So here are some things to remember when you do find yourself starting comparing yourself to others…
Remind Yourself Nobody Is Perfect – Everybody has imperfections even those who we admire most. If we were all built exactly the same what a plain, boring world it would be. So take pride in knowing it's those imperfections what make us unique.
Focus On Your Strength's – Instead of dwelling on your weaknesses, ask yourself what your strengths are! Be proud of them, focus on them and use them to your advantage.
Focus On The bigger picture – Life isn't a competition so try not to focus on where you compare to others. Instead focus on where you do want to end up and set goals in place so you can and there! We are all on a personal journey, so it doesn't matter how long it takes to get where you want to be.
Focus On What You Can Change – Instead of getting into a pit of self pity, get into a motivating sate of mind and focus on the things which you can change, get organised, start writing lists, setting things in place, get off your butt and go make things happen! – Be the Best Version of You.
Stop Yourself – If ever you find yourself falling into the comparison hole, falling into a wallow of self pity take a deep breath and just pause. Turn all that energy which you would spend on comparing yourself on something which would be productive to your bigger picture. Change your focus!
We all have different lives, different struggles and different goals. Comparing yourself to someone else is just stealing the joy and happiness out of what you should be enjoying. Focus all that energy on our own goals, and remember to celebrate them no matter how small they may seem. I'll finish with one of my favourite quotes "A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it, it just blooms"
Do you find yourself comparing yourself to others? How do you stop yourself?

Author: Abbi Glines.
Series: Yes, #3.
Source: Publisher.
Publisher: Simon & Schuster.
Published Date: 7/31/12.
Book Depository
"Set in the steamy coastal Alabama town of Sea Breeze, an interconnected group of older teens hook up, break up . . . and much, much more. Cage York has a free ride to college for baseball - or he did, until he got in trouble for drink-driving. Now he has to give in to his coach's demands and spend his summer baling hay. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows. Oh and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he's ever seen.
Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbour, had been the centre of those goals. He'd been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she'd received the phone call from Josh's mother saying he'd been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva's carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible. Now she has to deal with the arrogant Cage York and his irritating smile.
But as the summer bailing hay rolls by, Cage and Eva learn that what they want (and need) may be something they never saw coming."
My Thoughts:
While It Lasts was a long awaited read for me! I couldn't get enough of the first two books, Breathe and Because of Low; I was dying to get started on the third one!
If you don't know much about this series, the main thing you should know, is that its about nothing but romance and the struggle that comes along with it. Each book follows a different couple, but over all, many of the characters are featured again later in the series, because all of them are actually good friends.
While It Lasts follows the story of Cage York and Eva Brooks, all the way from their rough beginning, to their (somewhat) happy ending.
Cage is the biggest man-whore on planet earth. He looks good, he knows it, and he doesn't mind taking advantage of it. There was only one girl he ever truly opened up to and showed his sensitive side to, and that was Willow. Willow was his childhood friend, and he would do absolutely anything to protect her.
But in Because of Low, we witnessed Willow move on from Cage, to Marcus.
Cage isn't angry, but he is still trying to get over the fact that he will never be with Willow; other than as friends. He has never been in a real commitment, and the only person he ever imagined himself doing it with, has her eye and heart set on someone else.
Eva, at only eighteen, has fallen in love with childhood best friend, became engaged to him, witnessed him join the military, and struggled with his death. At eighteen Eva has gone through and felt more pain that many other teenagers have.
Cage is on a full ride to university, through baseball, but decides to take on a farming job to earn some extra cash. On his first day there he is introduced to a girl who is willing to do A LOT just to get his attention, and another that is much more snarky and standoff-ish. He admits the girl that's smiling up at him, has a nice body, but the girl not even giving him a second glance has the "biggest blue eyes" his ever seen.
Working on the farm, didn't only mean working on fields, but also working on the one girl that didn't give him her attention, and the one girl that Cage couldn't seem to get out of his head.
Final Verdict:
Before I begin, I just want to you warn you that this book does have some sexual content in it, and that it is for mature readers.
I couldn't get enough of the first two installments, and there was nothing different about this third one. I absolutely LOVED it! The characters, the struggle, and the way Eva wasn't willing to give in right away, knowing just how good of a guy she deserves, after being with Josh for so long.
Cage and Eva were perfect for one another. It may not have seemed that way at the beginning of the story, when Cage walked on the farm, thinking he was all that and a pack of crackers, but in the end they were exactly what the other person needed.
Eva was used to being in love with the perfect guy; she was most of her life. She was used to her plan, to being with the same guy and knowing exactly what her future will bring to her. Cage was never sure about his future, and had no intentions of settling down. But when the two collided each changed a little, and balanced the other out.
Overall, While It Lasts has to be my favorite book in the series so far. And I think I can say that Cage and Eva are my favorite couple (so far, I do still have a few books to go). I liked that Abbi Glines also included the aspect of Josh, and that she also reintroduces old characters. Besides watching the new couple form and grow, I think it's really cool that we also get to see how the older couples have changed and matured as well.
If you're looking for the perfect summer romance, that you can listen to while jogging, or relaxing on the beach the Sea Breeze series is JUST for you!


text: South Dakota's Game, Fish and Parks Commission is considering the implementation of a longer pheasant hunting season. Some are thrilled. Others are most definitely not. The commission meets on Thursday and Friday at the Days Inn in Brookings to make its ruling. GF&P commissioners are accepting public opinion before they make their final decision. So here are the pros and cons. Now it is time for you to weigh in on whether or not pheasant season should end on the first Sunday in January or exend to Jan. 31. Commissioner Tim Kessler of Aberdeen said he's heard from sportsmen and landowners on both sides of the issue. He said most of the sportsmen he's heard from are in favor of extending the season because it would give them a little more time to hunt without competition from nonresident hunters. He said, "As the season goes on, the residents tend to hunt a little later than nonresidents." South Dakota's Assistant Wildlife Director George Vandel said extending the pheasant season makes sense because some other hunting seasons, such as archery and muzzleloader deer, also end at that time and general hunting licenses also expire at the end of January. Many landowners, however, would prefer to keep the status quo. Extending the season might mean more hunting, but it also means that thousands of acres of land - whether designated for hunting or not - will need patrolling for illegal hunting, littering and trespassing. "It just seems that you have to patrol anything because people get mixed up on where they're supposed to be or what they're supposed to be doing. It gets to be real frustrating having to worry about it, " said Tripp County landowner Tresh Swedlund. Swedlund also said a longer hunting season means more traffic on roads that could potentially place a burden on counties and townships who don't have the extra budget for road repair. Commission member Jeff Olson said Swedlund isn't alone in his beliefs. He commented that there is a general sentiment - at least West River - that all hunting seasons are already too long. So, should South Dakota's pheasant season be extended to Jan. 31? Some people will say yes, others will say no. What do you think? To share your opinion on today's Our Voice, just send an e-mail to email@example.com. A listing of comments will be published on the American News Web site at www.aberdeennews.com as they come in; however, we'll publish a synopsis of the comments on Wednesday, so make sure your comment is sent by noon Tuesday.

Matthew 8:5) Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
Matthew 8:6) saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."
Matthew 8:7) And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
Matthew 8:8) The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
Matthew 8:9) "For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
Matthew 8:10) When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
Matthew 8:11) "And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 8:12) "But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Matthew 8:13) Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.
Faith is amazing isn't it… and it doesn't take much just absolute faith in Jesus and God. Sadly that isn't so easy anymore, our faith now lies in our modern medicine, our modern technology, and we often only rely on faith in the one true God if everything else fails… instead we have faith in men. 'Oh God everything else didn't work but I know you'll help me right.' Faith doesn't mean he'll help you through supernatural means. It means you ask for his help from the beginning of your problem and keep asking and he'll see you through your problem till it is resolved. Most people only ask for God's help once, 'Well I prayed for it… it's in God's hands now.' No He said, 'Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…' sounds like Jesus want's us to keep talking to Him doesn't it. So trust Him in both big and small things, because in God's eyes there all small things.
Happy New Year and God Bless You

Zimbabwe: migrant health guide
Advice and guidance on the health needs of migrant patients from Zimbabwe for healthcare practitioners.
Main messages
If the patient is new to the UK:
- explain to them how the NHS works
- discuss how this compares to the healthcare system they've been used to
Ensure that all patients are up-to-date with the UK immunisation schedule.
Screen all new entrants, including children, for tuberculosis (TB).
Offer and recommend an HIV test to all adults from Zimbabwe, and consider offering an HIV test to infants and children who have recently arrived in the UK.
Offer to all sexually active individuals:
- a full sexual health screen
- safer sex health promotion advice
Consider screening for hepatitis B, particularly among those who have recently arrived, because Zimbabwe has an intermediate prevalence.
Consider screening for hepatitis C, because Zimbabwe has a considerably higher prevalence than the UK.
Ask about any travel plans the patient may have to visit friends and relatives in their country of origin, and see National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC), or the Health Protection Scotland websites (TRAVAX and fitfortravel), for travel advice.
There is a high risk of malaria in some areas of Zimbabwe and a risk of typhoid infection.
Consider nutritional and metabolic concerns.
Find out more about children's health.
Infectious diseases
Ensure that all patients, especially children, are up-to-date with the UK immunisation schedule. See Immunisation collection with complete schedules.
Tuberculosis (TB)
There is a high incidence of TB in Zimbabwe (40 to 499 cases per 100,000), so:
- screen all new entrants (including children) for TB according to NICE guidelines
- refer to TB services promptly if screening is positive
- maintain long term vigilance for symptoms of TB even if initial screening is negative
- be aware that TB is a notifiable disease
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV
There is a high rate of HIV in Zimbabwe (>1%), so:
- offer and recommend a HIV test according to UK national testing guidelines
- consider offering an HIV test to infants and children who have recently arrived in the UK according to UK national testing guidelines
Be advised that although recent global data on STIs are not available, countries with high HIV rates tend to have higher rates of STIs, and the range of STIs encountered in Zimbabwe may vary from those in the UK, so offer to sexually active individuals:
- a full sexual health screen
- safer sex health promotion advice by referral to local genito-urinary medicine services
Hepatitis B
Zimbabwe has an intermediate prevalence of of hepatitis B, so:
- consider screening for hepatitis B, particularly those who have recently arrived
- offer screening for hepatitis B to all pregnant women during each pregnancy
- immunise appropriately babies born to mothers who are hepatitis B positive, and follow-up accordingly
- be aware that the UK has a selective immunisation programme for hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Zimbabwe has a considerably higher prevalence of hepatitis C than the UK, so consider screening for hepatitis C if other risk factors apply.
Travel plans and advice
Ask opportunistically about any travel plans the patient may have to visit friends and relatives in their country of origin, and see National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC), or the Health Protection Scotland websites (TRAVAX and fitfortravel), for travel advice.
There is a high risk of malaria in Zimbabwe, mainly due to P. falciparum, so:
- test any unwell patient who has travelled to-and-from affected areas of Zimbabwe in the last year
- remember that malaria can be rapidly fatal
There is a risk of typhoid infection in Zimbabwe, so:
- ensure that travellers to Zimbabwe are offered typhoid immunisation and advice on prevention of enteric fever
- remember enteric fever in the differential diagnosis of illness in patients with a recent history of travel to-or-from Zimbabwe
There is a risk of helminth infections in Zimbabwe, including:
- schistosomiasis
- lymphatic filariasis
- soil transmitted helminthiasis

Every girl's fear: the A word.
Let's not mention the full word in this entire article except this once: Acne.!
Regardless of the fact that this is a Fashion blog, I will write an article on something that possibly changed my "visage" FOR(hoping)EVER!
Food restrictions, scrubs, masks...where & when does it all end?
My goal is to NOT sound like a beauty commercial but to explain why these following products should truly be part of every girl's beauty basket in her powder room!
You must be telling yourself: "another so-called cure..", right?
I have been using certain products for a few years now that I do not wish to mention their name in case any of you are using it and is actually helping you.
Remember, all of our faces react a certain way to creams. It can be good as it can also be bad.
This all depending what kind of skin we have.
P.s: always make sure to consult a cosmetician before purchasing your new product.
So, where was I? Yes, the part where I completely gave up on my products and dietary regime.
Every woman knows her system. For instance, I know that my skin reacts very poorly to certain makeup brands and foods.
Up until a few weeks ago, I would always have red spots here & there...some uncomfortable pimples that would appear after I would over indulge in a cheese platter or some delicious white chocolate.
That was until I started noticing it was getting worse. Way worse.
Those so called tiny red spots were taking over my cheeks but in a very painful way.
Of course, like any other woman, I started panicking.
I refused to visit the dermatologist just yet. Fine, I hate meds.
So I stuck to the natural cures.
I.E: honey masks, hot steamed water, cucumbers, etc.
It was then when I finally decided to visit Sephora.
I kept hearing about this Clarisonic machine but never really knew its purpose.
I spoke to a cosmetician in the facial product's department and she automatically suggested this magical product.
Magical and SIMPLE.
A cleansing brush!
All I need to do is apply my gel cleanser as I always do when I wash my face and then run the Clarisonic over it once I apply it all over my face.
The basic Clarisonic runs on one speed for a minute.
You should usually apply it for 6-10 seconds on both cheeks and 15 seconds on your forehead and chin.
It will dig deeper than your regular wash and will eliminate all spots after a couple of weeks. You need to give it a chance of course. You may not see the result at first. The first week I started using it, my skin was getting extremely red. That's just because it digs inside and cleanses your layers of skin so all unnecessary "residue" can come out. That is the point...right?
Wait and see :)
This fabulous product is sold at Sephora and comes in various different colours!
I can truly say that it has been helping me so far, considering what I've gone through. I am not a big "commercial" believer which is why I felt the need to blog about a product I can finally say is worth buying.
But that's not all...
I figured, I want to save my skin, right?
I need the right creams as well...
So I was being annoying, yet again and asked for assistance.
This time for the..."after-cure".
As mentioned previously, I was so stubborn throughout these past few years & refused to search elsewhere for facial products.
I kept thinking it was my own bad habits that led me to my "poor skin".
Remember, not all products are suitable for everyone.
So what was my problem!?
I have skin that is neither oily or dry.
Therefore, gives me the result of a Combination.
And so I heard... Kate Somerville.
I think of it as a FOUR step procedure for ONE result.
( I use this gel cleanser with my Clarisonic!!)
Daily detox cleanser that is essential in your daily life.
Use twice a day (AM&PM).
Apply a small amount to a wet face and neck.
Massage gently for 30 seconds.
Rinse in warm water.
A unique exfoliator with a bit of lavender base.
Targets blemishes and prevents breakouts.
Use 1-2 times a week.
Apply a think & even layer to a clean, wet face and massage it for 30 seconds before rinsing it after a minute.
Rinse with warm water.
A concealer that helps clear up pimples & reduces redness.
Use once daily, as soon as blemishes are noticed.
Dip clean cotton swab into bottle and softly dab on the spot.
Do not shake your bottle.
Cleanse your skin afterwards and gently pat dry.
Oil free moisturizer
Use twice a day. Apply a think & even layer on the face & neck.
I personally do believe that every woman (and man too, btw) should take care of their skin by nourishing it with proper products and homemade nutriments as well.
Remember ladies, it is important to stick to your product once you know it is the one suited for you.
Constantly changing facial scrubs, creams, moisturizers, etc can seriously damage your skin.
Glance at the following websites where you can find all of the products above.
Never let your skin down.
You can change your clothes and accessorize your outfits, but your face remains with you!

To keep compatibility and to be less limited for a new OSD architecture, I would strongly suggest to keep the current OSD as it is, and introduce a secondary OSD2 interface for true color display. From the performance point of view, would it be possible to directly render OSD into the graphics memory instead of copying an (possibly 1920x1200x32 = 9Mb) memory OSD to the surface? However, this depends on how close this could be adapted by the different platforms. How do eHD and VDPAU handle transparent overlays at all? Are they merged with the video in software? Are they overlays that get displayed in hardware? Would page flipping be possible?

Amid so much uncertainty about the prospects for next year's economy, could health care be one sector that's immune to any talk of double-dip?
For insights we turned to Ken Shubin Stein, M.D. of Spencer Capital Management.
Dr. Shubin Stein tells the desk that in this space he thinks diagnostics are the place to put money to work.
"I think this is going to be the decade of diagnostics, he says in a live interview on CNBC's Fast Money. "Diagnostics are about 3% of the health care budget but they drive 75% of spending... they're crucial to the system and they're good for the system. They save everybody money and they're good for patients."

In 2001, the centennial of both the University Hospital and the School of Nursing provided the opportunity to take stock of advances in medical science and health care over the past 100 years. Never in human history have scientists been confronted with such clear evidence of the daunting complexity of human biology, but never have they had such sophisticated tools at their disposal as they promote the flow of new discoveries from the laboratory to the bedside.
In the University Health System, medical researchers have harnessed these resources by creating multidisciplinary teams of basic and clinical scientists who focus on specific diseases, organs, and systems. This approach draws on the strengths of our basic science departments, three of which--microbiology (second), cell biology (eleventh), and molecular physiology and biological physics (eleventh)--ranked among the top fifteen in funding from the National Institutes of Health in 2000.
The stature of these programs was demonstrated this fall when the School of Medicine received a $38 million grant, one of the largest in its history, to support the study of cell movement. Cell migration plays many positive and negative roles in the body, from enabling white blood cells to attack bacteria and viruses to allowing malignant cells to spread via the blood. Learning more about this basic cellular mechanism will be critical to understanding diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and osteoporosis, as well as wound repair, embryonic development, and tissue engineering.
Awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Science, part of the National Institutes of Health, and called a Glue grant because it brings a large group of scientists together to tackle a major problem, the funding will support a five-year, multidisciplinary program involving eleven institutions. Alan F. "Rick" Horwitz, professor of cell biology, and J. Thomas Parsons, chairman of the Department of Microbiology, are co-principal investigators for the consortium, which includes leading researchers at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Johns Hopkins University, and Northwestern University, among other medical centers.
This past year, many other members of the University's medical and nursing faculties received significant awards to support their work.
James R. Brookeman, professor of radiology and biomedical engineering, and John P. Mugler III, associate professor of radiology and biomedical engineering, received a $3.7 million grant from the Commonwealth Technology Research Fund and Nycomed Amersham Imaging to continue pioneering work on magnetic resonance imaging using hyperpolarized noble gases. The procedure can detect subtle changes in the lung that are not revealed by other imaging techniques.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Jerry L. Nadler received a five-year, $9.3 million grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health to study the link between diabetes and heart disease. Diabetics are up to four times more likely than others to develop heart problems.
Pediatric physicians just entering practice at the University can extend their research training, thanks to a $1.7 million Child Health Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. The award is designed to enhance the research capabilities of junior faculty members by allowing them to spend more time on investigation projects.
With a $1.1 million grant from the Fogarty International Center of the NIH, scientists from China and India will receive training at the University in such areas as gene cloning and protein sequencing. The grant also enables faculty from the University to conduct workshops and deliver lectures at universities in these two countries and to establish collaborative research programs to study population growth.
The NIH awarded two five-year grants totaling almost $4.2 million to the School of Nursing's Center for the Study of Complementary and Alternative Therapies. The purpose of these awards is to train nurses and other health care providers to design and conduct clinical research on novel treatments, such as herbal remedies, therapeutic touch, and magnet therapy.
Across the Health System, basic medical science is pointing the way to new approaches in clinical care. In microbiology, researchers Sarah J. Parsons and Michael J. Weber are both working to understand the events that make prostate cancer cells grow, even when the normal growth signals are absent. Their goal is to find ways to prevent slow-growing tumors from becoming malignant. At the Beirne B. Carter Center for Immunological Research, Young Hahn led a team that discovered how the hepatitis C virus undermines the immune system. Their work sets the stage for the development of new vaccines and treatments.
Other researchers provide the groundwork for this translational research, uncovering key cellular processes that underlie all efforts to find new cures and treatments. C. David Allis, the Harry F. Byrd, Jr., Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, is one of the premier researchers in the world who is breaking the code that explains gene expression. Mr. Allis studies how proteins called histones, around which DNA is coiled, form a structure called chromatin and appear to provide a master switch for turning genes on and off. "Our research is attempting to understand what we have referred to as a 'histone code'--how chemical changes affecting the histone proteins affect gene expression--and could eventually lead to the development of highly targeted and highly effective therapies for disease control through gene regulation," Mr. Allis explains. "For example, we could turn off genes that promote tumor growth to help prevent cancer development, and turn on other genes that suppress tumors."
Extending the Reach of the Classroom
In U.S. News & World Report's survey of the top fifty medical schools, the University's School of Medicine placed twenty-eighth in research and twenty-eighth in primary care. The school continues to strive for improvement and innovation. This year, first-year medical students took a curriculum that had been substantially reorganized to include a course on the practice of medicine, revamped science courses, and hands-on experience making diagnoses with standardized patients, volunteers who have been trained to mimic the symptoms of different illnesses. In the School of Nursing, a new subspecialty in advanced practice nursing--wound, ostomy, and continence nursing--was added to its graduate curriculum. Additionally, the Nursing School will use a $75,000 grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust to integrate leadership development into the school's undergraduate curriculum.
Both schools also increased the use of information technology in teaching, a new emphasis that is being supported by improvements to the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. With the completion of the third phase of a $5.5 million renovation and expansion project, the library has been able to increase computer access to online resources and provide more group study space.
Patient-Centered Care
The University Medical Center maximizes its ability to deliver care by providing treatment in convenient, multidisciplinary centers and clinics that are designed to meet patients' particular needs. The results of a number of nationwide surveys this year show the merits of this approach:
U.S. News & World Report's 2001 issue on "America's Best Hospitals" judged eight medical specialties at the University Medical Center among the finest of their kind in the nation.
The Medical Center was ranked for the third year in a row as a Top-100 hospital in the country by Solucient, a health information and benchmarking company. This ranking recognizes hospitals' quality of care, efficiency of operations, and sustainability of overall performance.
In two other benchmarking studies, the same organization named the Medical Center among the nation's top 100 orthopedic hospitals and top 100 intensive care units.
Forty-two doctors from the University were listed in the 2001 edition of America's Top Doctors.
The University Health System was named one of the nation's 100 Most Wired hospitals and health care systems in the July 2001 issue of Hospitals & Health Networks, the journal of the American Hospital Association.
The University Medical Center is often among the first to offer the latest medical advances from laboratories at the University and around the world. An example is the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology. Under the direction of Dr. William L. Clarke, it is one of only twenty research centers in the nation that is testing a new device used by diabetic children in which they inhale--rather than inject--insulin.
The University is also leading the way in the development of anticancer vaccines. A vaccine for melanoma, a potentially deadly form of skin cancer, is in Phase II clinical trials at the University. This groundbreaking work is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration involving surgical oncologist Dr. Craig L. Slingluff, Jr., microbiologist Victor H. Engelhard, and chemist Donald F. Hunt. Also promising is a vaccine developed by Dr. William P. Irvin, associate professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology, to prolong remission in women who have completed treatment for ovarian cancer. Tests of the vaccine are expected to begin this fall.
A Century of Care
This was the centennial year for both the University Hospital and the School of Nursing. Since 1901, the hospital has grown from 150 beds to 541 and now accommodates nearly 28,000 patient admissions and well over 500,000 outpatient visits annually. The School of Nursing, created in 1901 to supply qualified nurses to the new hospital, is now ranked in the top 9 percent by U.S. News & World Report, offers master's, doctoral, and nurse practitioner programs in addition to the baccalaureate degree, and is home to a well-rounded research effort in fields such as HIV, rheumatoid arthritis, alternative therapies, and the history of health care.
A Challenging Environment
Changes in health care funding, the aging population, and the increased cost of new medical procedures over the last decade have placed great pressures on academic medical centers, and it is unlikely that this situation will be resolved soon. The University Medical Center is rare among its peers in that its costs currently do not exceed its revenues. In response to these and other issues, the University has taken a number of steps. R. Edward Howell has been appointed vice president and CEO of the Medical Center and will assume overall management responsibility for operation of our hospitals and clinics in February 2002. In addition, the University is merging the positions of the dean of medicine and the vice president and provost for the Health System into a single position to oversee academic quality, planning, and medical school finance.
Other management innovations include adapting parts of the Six Sigma quality program developed by Motorola and General Electric, integrating central business systems, and implementing more flexible scheduling and compensation for nurses, enabling the Medical Center to make considerable progress in addressing staffing issues.
In response to recent incidents in the hospital's psychiatric unit, the University has redoubled its efforts to ensure patient safety and to uphold the highest standards in every area of the Medical Center. The scrutiny from inspection agencies prompted by these episodes has revealed a relatively small number of deficiencies, but we are taking them seriously, and we are moving quickly and resolutely to address them. There should be no doubt in the minds of our patients that the University and its Medical Center can be entrusted with their care.

Prescribing for Astigmatism
Surgical Correction of Astigmatism, Part 2
In our previous column, we discussed the use of LASIK and incisional keratotomy surgical procedures for correcting astigmatism. Now let's focus on toric intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Whether your patients are candidates for cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange, consider recommending toric IOLs if they have ≥1.00D of corneal astigmatism. While patients may have lenticular astigmatism contributing to the cylinder power in their manifest refraction (MR), after their crystalline lenses are removed, it is purely their corneal astigmatism that is targeted for correction.
Some Considerations
Although surgeons make the final recommendations on appropriate IOL implants for your patients, bear in mind a few important factors. Current technology allows a maximum of 6.00D of astigmatism correction to be incorporated into toric IOLs. However, it is essential to recognize that a product's specific published toric values may be based on correction at the IOL plane, with the actual correction at the corneal plane being somewhat less.
For example, the Tecnis Toric Aspheric IOL (Abbott Medical Optics) ZCT300 model corrects up to 3.00D of astigmatism at the IOL plane, but 2.06D at the corneal plane.
Additionally, surgically induced astigmatism from incision location may decrease or increase patients' corneal astigmatism by approximately 0.50D. Typically, the incision is located temporally at 180 degrees, flattening the 180-degree meridian by 0.50D (increasing with-the-rule or decreasing against-the-rule corneal astigmatism).
Irregular Astigmatism and IOLs
If a patient's astigmatism is irregular and secondary to a corneal ectatic disorder such as keratoconus, it is imperative to understand that the optics of a toric IOL will not correct irregular astigmatism.
Surgeons and patients should discuss the available options. If patients are satisfied with their vision through MR or spectacles, consider correcting the MR cylinder. If your patients need to wear GP lenses after IOL surgery to obtain adequate vision, consider spherical IOLs or toric IOLs that correct the residual cylinder found in the over-refraction through a GP lens.
Cross-Cylinders and IOLs
As with fitting toric soft contact lenses, the concept of resultant cross-cylinders comes into play with toric IOLs. If the implanted IOL misaligns with its intended orientation, unwanted refractive cylinder is induced. The greater the amount of cylinder in the IOL, the more optically important it is for the correcting cylinder axis to be in proper alignment.
Clues about misalignment or rotation of a toric IOL can be found in a patient's refraction axis pre- and postoperatively, topography data, and the alignment markings on the toric IOL upon dilation. If you find that the toric IOL is misaligned 10 degrees or more from the original intended axis, consider returning the patient to the surgeon for IOL rotation. If the IOL needs to be rotated surgically, early identification is key, prior to the IOL haptics scarring into place in the capsular bag.
In Conclusion
Regardless of the method chosen to correct patients' astigmatism, it benefits you and your patients to consider their vision needs and lifestyle profile when recommending a certain treatment for astigmatism. CLS

The Bethlehem high school student wore a T-shirt emblazoned with a cartoon of the Statue of Liberty wailing on an electric guitar. He had stopped at the paper to promote a local punk-rock and heavy metal benefit concert. When he passed my desk, he paused, noticing a photograph of Frank Sinatra. "Are you going to see Frank Sinatra?" "Yes," I replied. "He's rad," said the young man. "I wanted my Mom to get some tickets so we could go see him."
Although most of the fans at Sinatra's concert Thursday night at the Spectrum in Philadelphia appeared to have grown up in the bobby-sox era, there was a smattering of fans who looked like they belonged at a concert by that other famous New Jersey superstar, Bruce Springsteen. Perhaps they came to see whether Sinatra would do a version of "Born To Run," as that other well- known New Jerseyite, Joe Piscopo, might do. Or maybe they just wanted to buy a Frank Sinatra T-shirt. A Frank Sinatra T-shirt? I doubt that they'd have those.
