Shingles can strike twice. Will the shingles vaccine help? - Harvard Health Blog - Harvard Health Publications: Shingles can strike twice. Will the shingles vaccine help?

POSTED MARCH 02, 2011, 2:20 PM Peter Wehrwein, Contributor, Harvard Health

This month’s Harvard Health Letter has an article about getting shingles a second time or even a third time. (Click here to read the full article.) The bottom line is that recurrence is a) certainly possible and b) if some recent research is correct, much more common than previously thought and about as likely as getting shingles in the first place if you’re age 60 or older.

I talked to Barbara P. Yawn, director of research at the Olmsted Medical Center in Rochester, Minn., for the March article and mentioned results that she and her colleagues first presented at a conference several years ago.

Yawn reported a more complete version of those results in last month’s issue of theMayo Clinic Proceedings (a favorite journal of mine). Full text of the study isn’t available unless you have a subscription to the journal, but here is a link to a summary (in medical publishing, such summaries are called abstracts).... http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/shingles-can-strike-twice-will-the-shingles-vaccine-help-201103021531

South China Morning Post: Sydney siege sparks 'I’ll ride with you' campaign for worried Muslims

South China Morning Post: Sydney siege sparks 'I’ll ride with you' campaign for worried Muslims Tues. Dec. 16, 2014

http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/article/1663137/sydney-siege-sparks-ill-ride-you-campaign-worried-muslims

Hours after a self-styled sheikh and two of his hostages were killed in a gun battle in a Sydney cafe, inflaming anti-Muslim sentiment in Australia’s biggest city, a social media movement showing solidarity with Australian Muslims was gathering steam.

Inspired by the Twitter hashtag "I’ll ride with you", some commuters heading into the city for work on Tuesday gave their support to Muslims who might feel vulnerable amid concerns about a blowback after the hostage drama.

The hashtag was trending around the world, popping up across Asia, Europe, Africa and North America as it featured in more than 300,000 tweets. Actor Russell Crowe, who grew up in Sydney and keeps a home here, added his star power to the campaign.

A POLICE OFFICERS CHRISTMAS

We give thanks to those who are serving our country. We Pray and ask the Lord for the protection of our military personnel, law enforcement, firefighters and EMS personnel and their families.

We especially pray at this time our military, the CIA and members of the intelligence community who risk their lives for our safety and quality of life.

We pray for the quick recovery of Andrew Groman, a three-year veteran of the Baltimore City Police Dept. that was shot last night in the line of duty.

A POLICE OFFICERS CHRISTMAS

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the streets,

not a person was stirring, 'cept an officer on the beat.

As he quietly patrolled the town with great care,

children and parents slept peacefully there.

The officer was clad in his blues and his vest,

gun on his hip, always looking his best.

He'd just pulled aside for a quick bite to eat,

When all of a sudden, out on the street,

A bright light appeared from out of nowhere,

He shielded his eyes from the brilliant glare.

'Twas an angel of the Lord at the squad's rear,

He smiled and spoke, "Dear Officer, don't fear."

"I've been sent by God with a message for you

who faithfully serve while wearing the blue.

He wants you to know He loves you all,

He's pleased with the way you've answered His call.

"To protect and serve others, so selfless you've been,

Your bravery and kindness have known no end.

Even in tragedy, when nights became long,

You've helped countless strangers by being strong.

"God sees your heart, the joy and the pain,

He knows the profession can often bring strain.

So he sent me here to let you know,

That as you patrol, He goes where you go.

"As you protect others, your Father protects you,

His angels go with you, His Spirit does, too.

No bullet too fast, no bad guy too strong,

I'm sent to make sure that your life will be long.

"So fear not the night, and fear not the day,

fear not the threats that might come your way.

I'm sent to accompany you on your beat,

There's not one moment you're alone on the street."

The officer sat stunned by the love of His God,

He bowed his head, with a tear gave a nod.

As the officer said thank you, the angel took flight,

"God's got your back, carry on, and goodnight."

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— Ephesians 6: 10-18

Audit: Maryland Mental Health Administration failed to check patients’ eligibility and patient information is not secure

Audit: Mental Health Administration failed to check patients’ eligibility and patient information is not secure

[…]

The Mental Health Administration delivers comprehensive care, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals with mental illnesses, either through a network of hospital facilities operated by MHA or through community service agencies. MHA spent $788 million during fiscal year 2013.

MHA receives funding from multiple federal and state sources and each funding source can have different eligibility rules. Because of this, MHA must keep detailed records about patients so the funding source is correctly matched to each patient service.

Eligibility documentation missing; important statistics not kept

MHA utilizes an Administrative Services Organization (ASO) to review its mental health services. During fiscal 2013, the ASO paid approximately $16.4 million of State funds for “uninsured” patient care, without keeping documentation showing patients were eligible for the mental health services they received.

The documentation is important because it is the basis for determining who ultimately pays for care: the state, federal government or the individual. This finding was repeated from the previous audit.

Liberal group plots to catch GOP state pols being racist and sexist | WashingtonExaminer.com

So much for the party of ides. I guess when that does not work, the gotcha party may work just as well...

Liberal group plots to catch GOP state pols being racist and sexist | WashingtonExaminer.com:

BY JASON RUSSELL | DECEMBER 12, 2014

The leader of a group hoping to improve liberals' fortunes at the state level revealed on Friday plans to start tracking conservative state legislators based on the assumption that "someone’s going to say something about black people" or women.

The comments came at the first ever conference of the State Innovation Exchange (SiX), the Left’s attempt to counter conservative policy successes that have followed Republican victories at the state level.

“We’re working with David Brock and Media Matters and American Bridge who have trackers that we can send out to monitor the debate on some bills that you all might be running," Nick Rathod, executive director of SiX, said. "I think in many legislatures my understanding is that a lot of legislatures stream their floor debates but don’t necessarily transcribe it or capture it in any kind of way. And so we want to start capturing them on that. I think we know, someone’s going to say something about black people. Someone’s going to say something about women. Someone is going to say something.

Letters to Santa: Why charity groups fought to have kid’s letters end up in the dead letter office.

Letters to Santa: Why charity groups fought to have kid’s letters end up in the dead letter office.: "A century ago, charities fought to have children’s wish lists sent to the dead letter office. They lost. By Alex Palmer"

http://www.slate.com/articles/life/holidays/2014/12/letters_to_santa_why_charity_groups_fought_to_have_kid_s_letters_end_up.html

What could be more innocent than a letter to Santa? A child jotting down her heart’s desires in pencil or crayon and dropping it in the mailbox, naively hoping the wish will be granted by Christmas morning: It’s a tradition that goes back at least to the mid-1800s, and it is a reminder of the holiday’s more idyllic past.

These days, such letters are viewed as an opportunity to help the less fortunate. In many cities across the U.S., the Postal Service makes available Santa letters to groups or individuals who want to fulfill the wishes enclosed within. It’s a small gesture, multiplied hundreds of thousands of times a year, that brings joy to both the giver and the recipient. What harm could come from that?

Oh, just teaching kids to beg, cheat, and lie—at least, that was the conventional wisdom of charity groups in the early 1900s. As such, the Post Office Department, now known as the U.S. Postal Service, found itself in the middle of a wild confrontation between a press and public that never failed to find delight in a note opening with “Dear Santy,” and groups that claimed Santa letters were the product of con artists in training.

“The Post Office Department does not believe in Santa Claus,” lamented the New York Times in a 1906 article about the government policy that undeliverable mail—including letters addressed to a certain chubby, sleigh-riding fellow—be sent to the dead letter office and destroyed. ... http://www.slate.com/articles/life/holidays/2014/12/letters_to_santa_why_charity_groups_fought_to_have_kid_s_letters_end_up.html
