There are certain ways to achieve lofty goals. In the field of business, you need to be accurate to gauge a considerable amount of profits. In the field of engineering or construction, you need to be accurate as well to produce efficient outcomes with projects. With respect to any individual book, business and engineering are two complicated areas of learning. Now combining engineering and business together make it doubly complicated to roam around with. You just cannot make heads for the other one without having enough years of exposure and study for those learning areas. You just cannot make senseless multiple choices for the problems that those areas may have. Accounting that is accounting applied to construction projects, it becomes a form of project called construction accounting. One can use construction software to help facilitate fast and more accurate processes. The other name is production accounting. Especially when multiple contracts come into play, construction accounting is a vitally necessary form of accounting. There are companies offering help with respect to construction accounting through purchasing sets of construction accounting software. The field of construction uses many terms not used in other forms of accounting, such as draw and progress billing. Furthermore, construction accounting may also need to account for vehicles and equipment, which may or may not be owned by the company as a fixed asset. More or less with respect to the amount of business accomplished, construction accounting requires invoicing and vendor payment.

You gotta love this campaign. No sooner does the curtain come crashing down on one climactic moment than up it goes on another. The Democrats choose NoDrama Obama and the channel switches to Soap Opera McCain. You want change? I’ll show you change: Introducing Sarah Palin, a running mate as unfamiliar as the tundra. 
Talk about rolling the dice. The idea was to connect to the Hillary supporters. These women, dismayed by the idea that the experienced female was passed over for a fresh male face, were supposed to be won over by a patently inexperienced female fresh face. Never mind that this feisty working mom leans—no, falls—right on social issues. You go, Clara Thomas. Oops, I mean you go, girl.
The Straight Talk Express twisted itself into a pretzel trying to defend her qualifications to be commander in chief. More to the point, the mother of five had a personal story meant to capture the imagination of the American people, whose minds were beginning to wander ominously to such non-entertaining narratives as the Iraq war and the economy.
Not that I don’t find the Sarah Palin story engaging. Mom to mayor to governor to veep nominee? There’s one woman who didn’t have trouble raising her hand in class. There’s one woman who didn’t think she had to be twice as good as a man to run. Be careful what you wish for.
I shifted into high dudgeon over the Sexism in the Media, Part II, the blogcreeps and cablescum sneering at her beauty-queen bio and her working-mom credentials. Then along came the news that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant. Immediately, the “family values” folks who have fashioned a political wedge out of moral judgments began insisting that anyone who remarked on this baby bump was an insensitive invader of privacy.
What did James Dobson of Focus on the Family say? This teen pregnancy showed that “she and her family are human.” Tony Perkins at the Family Research Council praised Bristol for “choosing life in the midst of a difficult situation.” A spokeswoman for the Campaign for Family Values called the Palins “an American family out there living out their values.”
Meanwhile, Barack Obama himself, born to an 18-year-old mother, said strongly, “People’s families are off limits and people’s children are especially off limits.” Well, OK. But let’s not forget that it’s the right wing that made social issues into a political issue. The right wing decided that pregnancy was not a matter of private decision-making but a harsh and unrelenting political battle.
Sarah Palin had her youngest child after a prenatal test showed he had Down syndrome. But she doesn’t believe that other women should be allowed to make their own choice. The Palin’s daughter got the “news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned.” But her mother opposes sex education programs that go beyond abstinence only.
John McCain, an unrelenting opponent of abortion, was once asked whether the government should provide contraception and replied, “You’ve stumped me.” The Republican platform is not similarly stumped with its implacable opposition to every abortion and its renewed “call for replacing ‘family planning’ programs for teens with increased funding for abstinence education, which teaches abstinence until marriage as the responsible and expected standard of behavior.”
Pregnancy is indeed private. Decisions are to be discussed and determined in a family. But the party meeting in St. Paul, Minn., would put decisions about pregnancy in the hands of the government and replace sex information with disinformation. No, you don’t have to pass judgment on a 17-year-old to pass judgment on these unrelenting policymakers.
As for the candidate as mother, is it beyond the pale to wonder whether Sarah Palin and her husband should have thought first of shielding their pregnant daughter from a media lens that they know will focus on the baby bump and a marriage that will take place during a national campaign? Has the candidate who mocked Obama for his celebrity status, comparing him to Paris Hilton, created the newest Jamie Lynn Spears?
I remember way back when the late Elizabeth Janeway, a doyenne of the women’s movement, imagined the first woman president. She would be a vice president picked for “balance” and elevated by fate to the Oval Office. More to the point, Janeway fantasized archly and knowingly, she would be a conservative Republican who believed in the status quo.
Sarah Palin? So far, she looks like a Bridge to Nowhere.

What does it mean? Retail health clinics—also known as convenient care clinics, mini clinics or in-store clinics—are small health-care facilities located in drug stores, grocery stores or big retailers like Target and Wal-Mart. They provide simple, nonemergency services to walk-in patients, regardless of insurance status. They are much cheaper than a traditional doctor's visit because they're generally staffed by nurse practitioners and/or physicians assistants. Retail health clinics have extended hours including nights, weekends, and sometimes even holidays. They charge a set price for common services, everything from sports physicals to treating ear infections. Currently, there are about 1,000 such clinics in the United States, according to the Convenient Care Association, but that number is expected to increase to as many as 1,500 by the end of this year.
Why the buzz? Back in July, Summer Kartchner was hiking in the mountains near Salt Lake City when a bee stung her on the hand. That night her entire hand began to swell and by Saturday morning she knew she needed to have it looked at. It hurt but she didn't think it was bad enough to justify a trip to the emergency room or a clinic, so she decided to try a retail clinic that had recently opened in her local grocery store. Summer got her hand examined within a few minutes and was prescribed an antibiotic to treat the sting. The whole thing took less than an hour and cost just $35, and even that was quickly reimbursed by her health insurance. It is rare to have such a positive experience with healthcare on both the provider and insurance side, she says.

Recently someone mentioned that they shop at certain big box stores that offer low prices and give their employees low wages and healthcare coverage the employees can't generally afford. The reasoning was that they were employing a lot of people, and that was good because they had jobs! OK, maybe, but who IS going to pay for their healthcare and at what point will it be paid for? Will it be paid for at the time you purchase items from a certain business? Will it be paid for out of your tax dollars? Or, will it be paid for in higher medical care costs because care givers have to pass on to the consumer the costs of those who are not insured? Or, will those who are not insured be denied healthcare coverage - and that includes those employees who are working for big box store who won't give their employees affordable health care coverage.?
Any business knows that spreading your buying power out weakens your ability to negotiate better purchasing costs. The same with consumers of health care coverage. More choices to pick from will dilute our buying power.

Older patients with heart disease and diabetes are getting better treatment than ever at the University of Michigan Health System even while U-Ms care for Medicare patients is costing less, a new report shows. The data come from the second year of a national project undertaken by 10 large physician groups, including the U-M Faculty Group Practice.
The results were announced in Washington, D.C., by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CMS oversees the Medicare system and launched the project to encourage innovation, efficiency and the development of quality improvement efforts that might be used by doctors and hospitals nationwide.
U-M was one of only two participating groups that achieved both of the projects aims: to provide the highest-quality care on all 27 of the projects heart and diabetes measures, and to contain health care spending growth for all traditional Medicare patients, including those with costly chronic illnesses.
As a result, U-M will get to keep $1.24 million of the funding that Medicare would have otherwise spent on the care of U-M patients in that year, and will also earn more than $460,000 as an incentive for providing high-quality care.
This is the second year in a row that U-M has achieved both sizable savings and high scores on health care quality benchmarks as part of the project, even as the project was expanded to include patients with heart failure and coronary artery disease. Two more years worth of data remain to be collected and analyzed.
The U-M Faculty Group Practice, part of the U-M Medical School, includes all 1,500 U-M faculty physicians who care for patients at the three U-M hospitals and 40 U-M health centers. Many of the programs and innovations that U-M has put in place for this project involve not only physicians but nurses, social workers, care managers and others who are involved in the care of Medicare patients at all U-M facilities.
The report is based on data from approximately 20,000 Medicare participants who received nearly all their care at U-M during the year that began April 1, 2007. It does not include those who were enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan offered by a private health plan, nor Medicare participants who received only limited care at U-M. But the improvements made for the project are helping many other patients.
The U-M Faculty Group Practice funded this project because we thought it was the right way to care for our patients, says David Spahlinger, M.D., senior associate dean for clinical affairs. We felt confident we could improve quality but we were uncertain if our interventions would save money. I believe that this project will provide many lessons for policy makers as the nation confronts the rising costs of health care.
The projects formal name is the Medicare Physician Group Practice Demonstration. It is Medicares first Pay for Performance Demonstration Project to work directly with physician groups. It began by focusing on the quality of care of patients with diabetes, but in the second year was expanded to include heart failure and coronary artery disease - both chronic heart conditions that carry a very high risk of emergency hospitalization, and other care, if not managed appropriately.
Because of its participation in this project, U-M is also automatically participating in another Medicare project, the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative or PQRI. In fact, the $460,000 that U-M earned for achieving high-quality care on 27 benchmarks is being paid through PQRI. The dollars U-M earned for saving Medicare money are calculated using a separate formula.
U-Ms success in both years of the project can be largely attributed to efforts to redesign the way patients are cared for, to enhance coordination and efficiency and reduce the need for emergency care and repeat hospital stays.
Project leader Caroline Blaum, M.D. - associate professor of internal medicine, associate chief of geriatric medicine and a research scientist at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System - notes that many faculty and staff from the Faculty Group Practice and Hospitals Health Centers worked together to make the changes possible. Both entities are under the larger umbrella of the U-M Health System, which makes collaboration easier.
The innovative thinking and willingness to do whats right for patients regardless of the prospect of direct reimbursement has truly been exceptional, she says. And ultimately, we have been able to show that innovations can pay off in both improved care for patients and savings for Medicare.
In the first year of the project, U-M implemented a number of new tactics to help improve care for Medicare patients, most of which are still in place today. In the second year, that effort was expanded and a number of new programs made their debut. Among them:
Sub-acute Care Service: This program brings U-M physicians and nurse practitioners specializing in geriatric care directly into certain nursing homes in the Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Canton and Plymouth, Mich., areas. The clinicians help patients discharged from U-M hospitals to these nursing homes, and their work has already decreased the number of days patients spend in the hospital.
CHOICES (Creating Healthcare Options to Inpatient Care and Emergency Services): This effort provides a nurse practitioner and social worker who can travel to a patients home soon after he or she goes home from the hospital, to help with issues such as diabetes management. This program is available to a large number of U-M patients who need specialized in-home care soon after being discharged from the hospital, to help them until they can see their regular doctor.
Expanded Inpatient Geriatrics Consult Service: This service makes it easier for U-M geriatricians, who specialize in the care of older adults, to assist other U-M physicians in assessing and managing the needs of older hospitalized patients - no matter what their main reason for being in the hospital.
Emergency Medicine Consult/Referral Service: Designed for any patient seen at the U-M Emergency Department who needs follow-up care of any kind, this program helps ensure that they get appointments at U-M clinics. The programs staff members make telephone contact with patients soon after they return home, and coordinate their scheduling while also alerting their primary care physician and processing insurance authorizations.
U-Ms Faculty Group Practice is the only organization in Michigan taking part in the project. It was chosen for several reasons, including demonstrated success in chronic care management, diabetes quality and organizational structure.

If youre feeling adventurous about eggplant, the following is a simple recipe I think youll enjoy. Its so good it almost melts in your mouth!
Roasted Baby Eggplant
(Adapted from Real Simple Magazine)
6 baby or small Japanese eggplants (about 3 pounds)
3 lemons
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
12 sprigs fresh oregano or 12 fresh basil leaves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
8 ounces Feta cheese, sliced for serving (optional)
Heat oven to 450° F. Slice each eggplant in half lengthwise, cutting only about 3/4 of the way through so the eggplant halves remain attached at the top. Arrange the eggplants in a baking dish at least 2 inches deep, such as a 9-by-13-inch pan. Thinly slice 1 lemon. Squeeze the juice from the remaining 2 lemons. Insert the lemon slices into the slit in each eggplant, then press some garlic and oregano into each slit. Season with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the eggplants with the lemon juice and oil. Cover with foil and roast, basting frequently with the juices in the dish, until the eggplants are very soft, about 40 minutes. Remove foil and roast for 5 more minutes. Transfer to individual plates and top with the pan juices and Feta.
Yield: Makes 6 servings
What are you favorite eggplant dishes and how do you like to prepare it.

The link below provides a sample hair analysis report of a twenty-year-old male toxic in mercury. Andy has been a vegetarian all of his life, and ate canned tuna most every day. His over-all toxins were low and his nutrients were fairly balanced, but his mercury level was dangerously high which, in turn, depleted his lithium stores. Lithium is a critical element that supports emotional and hormonal development. Thinking he was on a diet, Andy would never have known the potential health dangers within his tissues and bloodstream without having a hair analysis performed. He is relieved to know he prevented future health problems, and now knows how to adjust his diet and supplement program to achieve optimum health.

Vitamin B12 is a unique vitamin for many reasons. It was the most recent vitamin to be discovered, when scientists finally isolated its pure form in 1948. Until that time, doctors knew only that an extrinsic factor existed (a compound that had to be ingested) and was necessary to prevent pernicious anemia. This deficiency disease was reported as early as the 1820s but it wasnt until the 1920s that an extract from liver was found to be the cure, and still more years passed before the extrinsic factor was finally identified as vitamin B12.
The digestion and absorption of vitamin B12 is more complicated than other vitamins: Three components are necessary for a human to be able to absorb adequate amounts. If one of these is missing, injections become the only way to prevent a deficiency.
First, the stomach must be present. This may sound obvious at first, but in fact many nutrients are actually absorbed in the small intestine and a stomach is not necessary for human survival. In the case of vitamin B12, however, intrinsic factor must be present in the stomach to combine with the extrinsic factor (vitamin B12) for absorption to occur. The stomach produces this intrinsic factor. A person may have to have their stomach removed due to severe ulcers, polyps, or cancer, and afterwards will not be able to absorb oral B12. In this case they would need injections of the vitamin because no matter how much they eat, it will not be absorbed.
The second component is stomach acid. Even if the stomach is present, a condition of low acid production (achlorhydria) is not uncommon in the elderly. This acid environment is necessary for the intrinsic and extrinsic factors to combine. Another cause of low stomach acid is when antacid medications are taken consistently over long periods of time. If stomach acid is lacking and a person becomes B12 deficient, monthly injections are needed to prevent pernicious anemia.
The third component necessary is the functioning area of the small intestine where the vitamin is actually absorbed. Known as the terminal ileum, it is the last part of the small intestine just before the GI tract leads into the large intestine. Some people may need to have this part of their ileum removed due to inflammation from Crohns disease, or other chronic bowel irritations. Even if the ileum is present, if it is inflamed or scarred from an irritable bowel disease, the vitamin will not be absorbed adequately. For these people, vitamin B12 injections are a lifesaver.
Who else needs vitamin B12 injections? Not healthy people who eat balanced diets. Not people who feel tired all the time and lack energy but have not been diagnosed with a deficiency of the vitamin. Not even strict vegetarians who dont get a source of the vitamin in their diet. Even though B12 is only found in animal products, there are other ways to consume it orally: Some can be found in certain nutritional yeasts; many cereals are fortified with B vitamins including B12, and other foods such as energy bars are also fortified in many instances. The back-up plan for strict vegans (who consume no animal products) is taking a daily vitamin B12 pill from the bottle-no injection is needed because there is no problem absorbing the vitamin!
Injections are only necessary for people who are missing their stomach, their stomach acid, or their terminal ileum. Taking injections when your body is perfectly capable of absorbing the vitamin orally will not serve any purpose, change any symptoms, or resolve any feelings of low energy. This myth comes from the fact that a person who is truly B12 deficient has a deadly form of anemia and can be cured by the shots. The only thing a B12 injection can cure is a B12 deficiency.
To check for possible deficiency disease, a simple lab test (the MCV or mean corpuscular volume) indicates that red blood cells are not dividing and multiplying at the appropriate rate. Known as megaloblastic anemia, these large cells could indicate potential pernicious anemia. If further diagnostics are needed there are specific absorption tests available. It certainly makes sense to have your doctor diagnose the problem and identify the source before starting any injection treatments.

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when the blood sugar level is below 70mg/dL (3.9mmol/L). It can occur as a result of stress, too much insulin, too little food, or an issue with oral diabetes medication. Symptoms include shakiness, tremor, rapid heart beat, sweating, and clamminess. Untreated hypoglycemia can rapidly progress into seizures, coma, or death; thus, it is very important that hypoglycemia is quickly recognized and treated as directed by your physician. In any situation where the patient believes that he or she is suffering from hypoglycemia, the patient should confirm with a blood sugar test; however, the patient should treat immediately if they feel that the hypoglycemia is severe and it would take too long to test. Treating the low blood sugar is paramount. Mild hypoglycemia can be treated by the patient and usually involves consuming 15 grams of carbohydrates, in the form of sugary (not diet) soda, juice, glucose tablets/gel, or occasionally a small snack in the form of crackers, pretzels, hard candy, etc. It is important to note that candy bars such as Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, etc. contain a high amount of fat and can slow the absorption of sugar from the candy bar; therefore, it is not advised that patients use high-fat candy bars to treat hypoglycemia as the blood sugars may not rise fast enough to prevent any further and possibly severe drops in blood sugar. Once the patient has treated, they should wait 10-15 minutes and test his or her blood sugar to confirm that blood sugar levels have risen above 70mg/dL (3.9mmol/L). If the blood sugar levels are still below 70mg/dL (3.9mmol/L), the patient should repeat the treatment process, and if upon testing again after 10-15 minutes blood sugar levels are still below 70mg/dL (3.9mmol/L), the patient should treat once again and consult his/her physician immediately. If the patient has a meal planned within the next 30 minutes, the patient should continue as normal and continue to monitor his or her blood glucose to check for any additional episodes of hypoglycemia. If his/her next meal is beyond 30 minutes, the patient should consume a small snack (1/2 of a sandwich and an 8oz glass of milk, or a pack of peanut butter crackers). Severe hypoglycemia is an urgent medical condition that requires immediate intervention, and can frequently require intervention from a third-party. It can occur when blood sugars fall very rapidly, or when the patient suffers from hypoglycemia unawareness. Severe hypoglycemia can result in fainting, seizures, or death. Treatment may or may not be possible by the patient themselves due to significant impairment, however, the main idea is still the same: raise blood sugar levels as rapidly as possible. This can be achieved using oral carbohydrates, but in a situation where a patient is unconscious, unable to swallow, or having a seizure, outside intervention is necessary. Two types of injections are used to treat severe hypoglycemia: glucagon and intravenous dextrose solution (D50). Glucagon is a hormone produced in the body that acts an opposite to insulin; it blocks the blood sugar lowering ability of insulin and stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood from energy reserves. When used as treatment for severe hypoglycemia, the solution is injected intramuscularly and produces results in 1-2 minutes. The patient will typically feel nauseated and may vomit shortly after injection. However, this treatment is ineffective if the liver is depleted of glucose stores and in such cases, intravenous dextrose (sugar) solution is necessary. IV dextrose will awaken an unconscious person whom is suffering from severe hypoglycemia in seconds. IV dextrose is commonly referred to as "D50" by emergency medical technicians and paramedics.

If you ever mention that your web application uses database to store files, you risk being flamed into oblivion.  Indeed, in most cases, it is a bad idea, since file system is more effecient when it comes to files.  However, there are cases when it makes sense to have files saved in the database.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but in the last six month, I had to develop at least three systems that used MySQL for file storage (uploaded files that have to be synchronized across several hosts, etc).  Yesterday, for the third time I stumbled across the same problem, that almost drove me insane.
MySQL has four data types for storing binary data - TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, and LONGBLOB.  Somehow I always forget about these and use BLOB.  BLOB works just fine, but it has a limit on size, which is rather low - 64 KBytes.  The mean thing here is that it will work just fine with most of the test data - text files, short PDFs, and small pictures.  Once the application is tested and put into production, the corrupted files will start coming in.  Re-writing all parts that deal with uploading, moving, cleaning, escaping, and encrypting binary data takes time.  Going through file reading and writing routines is boring too, and it wont help either.
By the time, the issue is discovered and all fields are changed to LONGBLOB, it is often very late, and youve lost your weekend, as well as a lot of large files. This post is an attempt to save my (and your) sanity.
Reminder: use LONGBLOB instead of BLOB for file storage, unless you are absolutely sure about the maximum size of incoming data.

September 27, 2007

More than 60 percent of American women are overweight, with nearly a third falling into the category of obese and at greater risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Until now, there has been no safe, long-term medical remedy that tackles unwanted weight gain.

Dr. Nir Barak of Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine has developed what could be a new weight-loss wonder drug. In conjunction with the drug company Obecure, Dr. Barak developed a new formulation called HistaleanTM, based on betahistine, an approved drug marketed worldwide for the treatment of vertigo. Betahistine has been available to health authorities for over 30 years.

Betahistine is believed to block receptors in the brain - the H1 and H3 receptors - which are connected to one's sense of fullness and desire to eat fatty foods. It has an excellent safety profile and has been used for treatment by more than 100 million patients suffering from vertigo and dizziness in Canada and Europe.

The repurposed pill, Histalean, has been found to quell the desire to consume fatty foods, and the effects have been most pronounced in women.

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, about 32% of adult American women under 54 (about 25 million women) suffer from obesity. "Our new results suggest a strong gender-and-age-effect and support the potential of the drug as a breakthrough anti-obesity agent in women 50 years old or less," confirmed Dr. Yaffa Beck, Obecure's CEO.

According to some estimates, obesity results in thousands of deaths a year and accounts for $117 billion in U.S. health care expenses annually. Clearly, a breakthrough in this area will not only make women look and feel better, but it could save their lives as well.

A recent Phase II clinical trial of the new drug in the U.S. suggests that women under the age of 50 who took Histalean for 12 weeks lost 7 times the weight of those taking a placebo. What's most important to the researchers involved is that none of the 281 patients, males and females aged 18-65, complained of any serious side effects.

The trial, completed this August, was supervised by U.S. weight-loss guru Dr. Robert Kushner. The women who took the pill reported, "It wasn't hard." "I wasn't thinking about food." "I was content."

Dr. Barak explains why this is good news, "All the drugs in the diet pill market today have serious side effects. They may help a woman lose weight, but with that weight loss comes all sorts of bad things like depression and even suicide. Safety issues are a real concern for the FDA. But because this new drug has already been proven safe for other indications, we think Histalean has real blockbuster potential."

The recent results were based on a double-blind, placebo-controlled study on people with a Body Mass Index ranging from 30 to 40. (A BMI of 30 and above indicate obesity.) The study was conducted at 19 investigation sites across the U.S. over a 12 week treatment period. The subgroup of high-dose Histalean-treated women lost an average of 2.91% of their weight versus placebo group which lost only 0.4 %.

Dr. Barak's drug is also expected to compete for the $28 billion market of cholesterol-reducing drugs such as Lipitor. It could also be used in parallel with anti-psychotic drugs, which have unwanted side effects of extreme weight gain among mental health patients.
