PPX is the Health History Data SILOs Connector for Interoperability
Debra L. Griffin, Founder
PPX-Tec

dlg@ppx-tec.com
CEOCFO: Ms. Griffin, what is the concept behind PPX-Tec®?
Ms. Griffin: PPX was developed by myself and our Co-founder, Dean Harrison, as a mobile enterprise that is a bridge to connect data silos with health histories to alleviate information fragmentation in our healthcare's delivery system.
CEOCFO: Fragmentation in what part of healthcare? In what way?
Ms. Griffin: All of our efforts were on creating a simple universal application that when integrated system-wide knits together the various and complex data pieces in the healthcare industry's platforms. Being a former patient several times, I perceived that I had given providers, doctors ultimate godlike decisions over my health pathways when dealing with an illness. I felt strongly that I needed to participate in any decision made about treatment paths and that I needed to share in the ownership of all of my health data, past and present to be able to advocate for myself. These beliefs of equipping patients with their health information to become better advocates for themselves or the families started the concept and then the development of PPX.
CEOCFO: What is in place now? What have you come up with to solve the problem?
Ms. Griffin: PPX has developed an evolving iOS and Android mobile application that functions paired-one on a patient smart device and PPX integrated into human vendor's platforms to maintain and support database fluidity. PPX output via PDF, Numbers, HTML, XML, CSV transmit via Bluetooth, email, print, and is Cloud ready. PPX is Fully Scalable, Ingests multiple large structured datasets and identifies and manages the relationships between disparate datasets. PPX is FHIR, HL7, NIST and HIPAA compliant in addition to having the extra security of a self-generating token and access PIN. Data is exchanged; whether it is to send or receive and search any human data platform once API is plugged in for data to be dropped on a users' smart device. PPX's unique share screen allows multiple exchange modalities. Users overtime using multiple and various vendor types and provider types can create a comprehensive health record. PPX mobile application function has many hidden jewels that we can't wait to deploy during adoption.
CEOCFO: How do you get all of your own data onto your own device?
Ms. Griffin: It takes time. Healthcare is a complex space and the delivery system is fragmented. There are so many different types of providers and provider types and so many different human data platforms. The most notable are electronic medical records and other human data in various other platforms. If you have your data, let us say from, EHR, Electronic Health Records A, but you also went to Electronic Health Records B, you are the caregiver of your father who might have information, his data, at the VA, you can also carry that in that app. Each of these are silos that most don't share and some in limited formats. They are compositors of data, but the data exchange process needs to be not knitted together, but most fluid. PPX is a bridge. You would have one PPX app on a user's smart device and the other integrated in the vendor's data platform. One app is plugged into an API using FHIR and the other app after PPX is downloaded and installed on their smart device. That way, over time and space, you can start collecting your data from almost everyone you seek healthcare and social services from. `
CEOCFO: Are people willing to do this? As much as they want it to happen, are people willing to make the effort?
Ms. Griffin: People generally are not interested until they get sick and in need of health histories and or need the same for a family member they care for. There is a population of proactive health conscious folks that PPX will appeal to. However interoperability is a new frontier and this is one of the barriers to get PPX in the minds and hearts of everyone, deployed and scaled nationwide. "Who wants the data?" National statistics say at least 65% of people want to share in the ownership of their health data and histories.
You should be able to have your life saving health data to present for healthcare decisions, review for understanding what specifically has been written by physicians concerning your case. Patients that present with their health histories reduce diagnosis time, errors and can easily get to a quicker, safer path of treatment and reduce over utilization of some tests and procedures which is a cost saver.
CEOCFO: Has PPX been deployed commercially yet?
Ms. Griffin: PPX has not been deployed commercially yet. We conducted a clinical trial, which was important to establish that the app functions as we stated and that the users understood and saw its benefit, which was successful and we accomplished our goals. We are deploying into CMS's Blue Button 2.0, which contains fifty three million Medicare beneficiaries with all of their health data information. We will advertise to attract a portion of those users to download our app and start to accumulate and easily share health records. Our goal here is to onboard a large volume of users and feedback for future development.
We are not in a hurry to prove anything to anyone. We know that our app functions as we say. It is a unique approach to many ways to data exchange. We have an entity that is interested in us in terms of some type of relationship and we have not talked through what that relationship could looks like. PPX is non-threatening to current businesses strategies and formats. PPX is not intrusive to any intellectual property. PPX is a bridge, a connector, conduit where information flows from one API to users' smart device. Currently, the PPX, llc holds no data. We are not getting your data. Your data remains exactly where it should be, with human data vendor as it stands now and with you, the user, the patient. We do want to explore getting users' permission to share their data through PPX and being incentivized for this privilege.
CEOCFO: What happens if a medical practice changes to a new system and you cannot access your records anymore?
Ms. Griffin: The 21st Century Cures Act includes a provision to prohibit providers from blocking data and mandating interoperability as a condition for hospitals to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Healthcare vendors accepted federal dollars to go from paper records to electronic records and to share health data with all interested users.
CEOCFO: Are you seeking funding or investors as you continue the development?
Ms. Griffin: Absolutely! My partner and I bootstrapped PPX's total development. We started this development in 2013. We bootstrapped it, first of all, because we thought that was the best path. However, when you are in a new frontier, people do not get you so easily. It gets aggravating when people do not get you or do not think you are going to do what you say you are going to do or you are capable of producing what say you are going to do.
We are now at the stage where we are interested in investors so that we can scale at a more rapid pace. We bootstrapped, because we are developing in a New Space, New Frontier; Interoperability.
Once PPX onboards a large amount of users and start-getting attention from various entities, we can start vetting partners. PPX's API can move information from/to insurance companies, from/to pharmacology companies, from/to manage care service companies, from/to electronic health records and from/to social services entities.
CEOCFO: I know there have been many attempts over the years to consolidate availability of records that do not seem to have gone anywhere. Why do you feel that now is the time?
Ms. Griffin: HITECT Act, 21ST Century Cures Act and federal government mandates. The current healthcare budget is not sustainable. Healthcare spending is the second highest allocation of the federal budget and current health outcomes for many are poor and costly. For the dollars spent, the quality of care and the quality outcomes do not measure up. For many comprehensive health histories information is power; it equips you. With the availability of Google and Apple Apps Platforms and the smart devices, it is just the natural evolution to come to this.
CEOCFO: What surprised you in the process of getting to where you are today at PPX-Tec?
Ms. Griffin: No cheerleaders at all! Not even open mindedness to the potential that my partner and I had the capacity or the intellect, diligence or the commitment to follow this to this end. That is what surprised me. We received minimum encouragement. We stayed focused on what we wanted to achieve and believe that we would achieve it at all cost.
Because we are such a small little band of nuts we could change directions or incorporate new development pieces or take things out. We are agile. Our encouragement had to come from our knowing that we were committed and that at some point lives would be improved and at the end of the day, we could say, "Okay, we were right!"

A transfer function compares two signals and shows the frequency, phase and impulse difference between the two. Because of this, it's absolutely essential to be clear on which signal is being compared to which signal at all times. One signal is considered the reference while the other is the comparison to that reference. They are not interchangeable as a general rule.
Note that unlike an RTA which is a single channel measurement, a transfer functions is a dual channel measurement (differential).
In SMAART, the measurement signal is the first assignment box & the reference signal is the second assignment box by default. In Spectra Foo, the SOURCE is the first assignable box & the RESPONSE is the second assignable box. Notice this is completely different which means that if you have both applications open and configured the same, the measurement traces between the two programs will be inverted from each other.
If you don't configure your signal assignments correctly your traces will be inverted.
For example SMAART 7 defaults to having the PHASE window above the MAGNITUDE window where SpectraFoo defaults to the reverse configuration. Consequently the tool is of no value if the user doesn't know what each trace indicates and which signal is being compared to the other.
What is a tranfer function good for?
Comparing the input of a device to it's output to verify proper gain / phase / frequency response through the device.
Basically any two audio mic or line level signals can be compared.
With the right type of conversion box you may even be able to measurement a line level signal against a higher voltage signal. For example, the input of a power amp against it's output. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS WITHOUT THE PROPERTY SIGNAL REDUCTION CIRCUITRY!!!


hebs group limited have completed numerous greenfield mast base compounds with access tracks, culverts, ducting & cabinet bases including street works root install sites throughout the UK, The Scottish Islands and The Highlands.
Our expert mobile civil engineering and site infrastructure teams have the capability and experience to install concrete bases, mast rigging, power and site containment in the most difficult to reach places with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.
This unique civil engineering project was carried out in the county of Argyle & Bute in Scotland and comprised of a Telecoms mast base, two smaller cabinet bases, stock fencing to the mast compound and a 130m stone track was installed for safe access.
Works were planned on a tight and reactive schedule for the installation of the new telecoms mast. The biggest challenge to achieve this was the organisation of materials delivery to an area that is so far from a main town, so procuring raw materials, plant and services like concrete supply and pumping are not readily available.
Hebs Group Limited managed to deliver the entire program on time and within budget thanks to the skill of our dedicated procurement team working closely with local businesses and our skilled site management.
The completion of this scheme and the success of the program lead to hebs group ltd's telecoms division being awarded a roll out program of a further eleven remote sites.


COLUMBIA, SC Jan. 10, 2015 – With over 12,000 tickets already distributed for the game, No. 1/1 South Carolina looks for home-court advantage against No. 10/11 Wildcats in key SEC showdown Sunday at Colonial Life Arena. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. with tipoff at 1 p.m. on ESPN2.
Date: Sunday, January 11, 2015 | 1 p.m. | Box Office Opens 10:30 a.m. | Doors Open 11:30 a.m.
Today's meeting between the Gamecocks and Wildcats is the second top-10 showdown in as many seasons of the series. In the first meeting of the 2013-14 season, then-No. 10 South Carolina topped then-No. 9 Kentucky 68-58 here in Colonial Life Arena.
The Gamecocks' 15-0 start is the best in program history and broke the school record for longest win streak. The previous record was held by the 1985-86 team, which put together 13 wins from Jan. 25 through March 3.
South Carolina scored in triple digits for the first time in SEC regular-season play in its 102-59 victory at Alabama Thursday night, but it was the first time since Dec. 7 (at Duke) that no Gamecock posted a double-double.
The Gamecocks shot 63.8 percent from the field at Alabama, the highest field goal percentage of the Dawn Staley era, the best since hitting 65.2 percent against East Tennessee State on Dec. 19, 2000, and the highest in a road game in program history.
In the last two seasons (49 games), senior Aleighsa Welch has shot 50.0 percent or better in all but 10 games, including three perfect shooting games. This season, SEC play has brought out the best in Welch, who is currently shooting 87.5 percent (14-of-16) in league games.
Extend the school record for longest win streak to 16.
Make the Gamecocks 4-0 in SEC play for just the second time in school history, matching the 2002 team for the program's best opening SEC record at 4-0.
Be the Gamecocks' 26th straight at Colonial Life Arena to break the tie with UConn for the longest active home win streak in the nation.
The Wildcats lead the overall series 32-12 with an 8-5 advantage during South Carolina's Dawn Staley era. The Gamecocks hold a 3-2 edge over the last two seasons. South Carolina and Kentucky squared off three times last season with the Gamecocks winning both regular-season contests and the Wildcats winning in the SEC Tournament semifinals. Over the three games, Aleighsa Welch led the offense with 16.3 points per game – posting a double-double in each of the regular-season outings – while Alaina Coates controlled the glass at 10.7 rebounds per game. South Carolina shot 45.6 percent from the field against the Wildcats last season and out-rebounded them 45.3-32.0. The Wildcats' lone win in the three-game stretch came behind solid shooting from the 3-point line and the ability to get to the free throw line. The Gamecocks are 15-9 against the Wildcats in games played in Columbia, including wins in the last two meetings at Colonial Life Arena for a 4-2 home record against Kentucky in the Staley era. The Wildcats' last win on South Carolina's home floor was a 66-58 decision on Jan. 15, 2012.
South Carolina is facing its third ranked opponent of the season today and its second top-10 match-up. The Gamecocks are 67-216 all-time against ranked teams with a 17-39 record in the Dawn Staley era. Under Staley, South Carolina is 5-16 against ranked opponents at Colonial Life Arena, 8-12 on the road and 4-11 at neutral sites.
This week's rankings extended South Carolina's string of Associated Press top-10 appearances to 20, the longest in program history, and is the Gamecocks' seventh in the No. 1 spot. The only teams to hold the position more often in the last five seasons are Baylor (39 weeks) and UConn (33). The AP's No. 1 ranking on Nov. 24 was the program's first, besting the No. 2 spot the Gamecocks held for five times in their history – Nov. 17, 2014; Preseason 2014-15; Jan. 2, 1982; Dec. 27, 1981; and Dec. 20, 1981. The Gamecocks opened this season with their highest preseason ranking from the organization, coming in at No. 2 to best the previous high of No. 4 heading into the 1981-82 season.
The Gamecocks are in the midst of unprecedented success at Colonial Life Arena, having won their last 25 games on their home court, including the facility's first perfect season in 2013-14. That 16-0 mark alone matched the previous record for win streak at the Arena, originally set Jan. 20, 2002-Jan. 9, 2003. South Carolina's last loss at Colonial Life Arena was a 50-48 decision to then-No. 14 Texas A&M on Feb. 10, 2013. The longest home win streak in school history is 32 games, which spanned three seasons. That streak began with a win over Clemson on Dec. 10, 1977, and ended with a win over Tennessee Tech on March 4, 1980. The stretch included a perfect 11-0 record in 1978-79 at Carolina Coliseum (9-0) and the Sol Blatt P.E. Center (2-0). Overall, South Carolina is 140-58 (.707) at Colonial Life Arena, including a 74-25 (.747) mark under head coach Dawn Staley. In the now 41-year history of the program, the Gamecocks are 385-155 (.713) in home games.
While every competitor wants to be a starter, the Gamecocks have shown that the bench can be just as productive a position. The South Carolina bench has tied or out-scored its starting teammates eight times this season, including all three SEC contests, and has out-scored the entire opposing team four times – Clemson (Nov. 20), San Diego State (Nov. 23), NC Central (Dec. 1). In all, the bench has accounted for 49.0 percent of the Gamecocks' points this season. Of the 62 double-figures games turned in so far this season, 31 of them have come from the bench – A'ja Wilson (14), Alaina Coates (8), Bianca Cuevas (4), Tina Roy (2), Jatarie White (2) and Asia Dozier (1).
Head coach Dawn Staley recently referred to the point guard position as one of "service" to teammates, a job designed to create stars our of her teammates. More than just her point guards have embraced the theory as the Gamecocks rank fourth in the nation in assists per game with an SEC-best 19.8 per game and third in the country with a 1.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. Living up to the legend of their head coach, the Gamecocks have handed out 20 or more assists nine times this season, including a Staley-era high of 26 against NC Central. In all, South Carolina has assisted on 297 of its 455 made field goals this season (.679). Last season's team set the mark for best percentage of the Staley era at .577. Three Gamecocks rank among the SEC's top 15 in assists, led by junior Khadijah Sessions in ninth at 3.3 per game. The sure-handed Sessions is 12th in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio with an SEC-best 2.9 mark. Junior Tina Roy has been the unexpected distributor this season, ranking 11th in the conference with 3.1 assists per game and a 2.4 assist-to-turnover ratio that has her second in the SEC and among the nation's top 30. Last season's assist leader, junior Tiffany Mitchell rounds out the trio with a 3.1 average that is 14th in the SEC.

Scott has appeared on stage across Canada in productions that range from Shakespeare to Steinbeck to Sondheim, and was recently featured in the Hallmark TV movie, Freshman Father. His Big Band CD includes classics from the Great American Songbook on which Scott is accompanied by a Who's Who of Canadian jazz. His new digital single, Someone I Don't Even Know, is a love song he wrote after meeting his wife, Anne, more than 30 years ago. He is the narrator on the Youtube comedy hit, Spiders on Drugs – 42-million hits and counting.
Based on Scott`s long-running CBC and Internet feature THE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC tells the stories behind current musical anniversaries The stories range from the Big Band era, Broadway, the Movies, jazz, the pre-rock years, the early rock years, British Invasion, and the post-Sixties musical scene.
"I received several notes and comments from attendees, saying how much they enjoyed Scott's presentation. His anecdotes coupled with the use of audio/video clips really enhanced the presentation and brought life to many of our musical memories."
♪ Murray [event organizer]
Scott's main theme is The Seminal Moments – the events and the artists that changed musical history. Stories include:
♫ The record considered the beginning of the rock era, which began as the b-side of a forgotten novelty tune and was almost forgotten until Hollywood gave it the push it needed;
♫ The night Elvis Presley's first record was heard on the radio, while the future King of Rock'n'Roll hid in terror;
♫ The song that Paul McCartney woke up with one morning, which he called Scrambled Eggs,
and which became one of the most-recorded songs in history:
♫ Two of the best-selling albums of all-time, both from the Seventies, and both by
bands that were barely on speaking terms;
Scott can also perform presentations on request, such as:
♪ The Canadian Contribution – how Canada became an international force in popular music
♪ The Beatles & the British Invasion
♪ The Elvis Story
♪ The Music of Broadway & Hollywood
· Public Speaking – Scott's experience as an actor, host, and former CBC News anchor give him a unique insight into how to engage an audience. He can show you how to get your message across in the most natural way.
· Speech Writing – Again, Scott knows how to engage an audience. His experience writing and anchoring the CBC National Radio news, his Musical Almanac, and his advocacy speeches on behalf of the arts community are a testament to that. He can help you craft your message.
· Media Interviews – Do you have to face the media? Do interviews? Explain your – or your company's – actions and mandate? Scott has been on both sides of the interview exchange and can prepare you for anything the media is likely to throw at you.
Scott has enjoyed a 40-year career in the entertainment industry as a singer, actor, and host. His recordings vary from a love song he wrote for his wife when they first met to a CD that he recorded with the legendary Boss Brass. Scott's specialty is music from the Great American Songbook made famous by artists such as Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Scott can provide entertainment for your event with anything from piano accompaniment right up to a 21-piece orchestra.
· "Good Singer. Good Album." – Glenn Woodcock, Jazz FM
· "Fantastic!" – The Morning Show, Global TV
· "A full, rich voice." – ShowMusic Magazine
· "Oh, what a voice!" – Winnipeg Free Press
Scott also has two one-man shows, What Exactly Is the Great American Songbook? [tracing the history of the Great American songbook with music and stories] and Too Marvelous for Words: the Johnny Mercer Story [about the life of the four-time Oscar-winning writer, vocalist, and founder of Capitol Records.
"Just a note to let you now that I received several notes and comments from attendees, saying how much they enjoyed Scott's presentation on the 'evolution of popular music' at our Esso retiree luncheon last week.
His anecdotes coupled with the use of audio/video clips really enhanced the presentation and brought life to many of our musical memories."

Q: Is there an Int.isWholeNumber() function or something similar? I need to check if an input is an int or not. Is there a similar function to the String.IsNullOrEmpty(), like an Int.isWholeNumber() function?
Is there a way to validate this inside the if() statement only, without having to declare an int before? (As you need to do with TryParse())
EDIT
I need to validate an area code (five numbers)

A: You can achieve this by extension methods:
You use
bool isNumber = "-1990".IsNumber();

Here is code:
public static class NumberStringExtension
{

    public static bool IsNumber(this string value)
    {
        int i = 0;
        return int.TryParse(value, out i));
    }

}

A: I don't believe there's any such method within the BCL, but it's easy to write one (I'm assuming you're really talking about whether a string can be parsed as an integer):
public static bool CanParse(string text)
{
    int ignored;
    return int.TryParse(text, out ignored);
}

Add overloads accepting IFormatProvider values etc as you require them. Assuming this is for validation, you might want to expand it to allow a range of valid values to be specified as well...
If you're doing a lot of custom validation, you may well want to look at the Fluent Validation project.

A: I gather from your comments that your actual problem is "how do I determine if this string contains a valid Swedish postal code?"  A Swedish postal code is a five digit number not beginning with a zero. If that's the problem you actually have to solve, then solve that problem. Rather than trying to convert the string to an integer and then check the integer, I would simply write checks that say:

*

*is the string five characters long? If not, reject it.

*is the first character of the string 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9? If not, reject it.

*are the second, third, fourth and fifth characters of the string 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9? If not, reject it.

Simple as that. If you're never going to do math on it, don't convert it to an integer in the first place.
This approach will further generalize to more complex forms. Swedish postal codes, I gather, are often written in the form "SE-12 345", that is, with the prefix "SE-" and a space between digits two and three. It's going to be awfully hard to write an integer-validating routine that deals with that format, but writing a string-validating routine is straightforward.
More generally, this illustrates some good advice for writing questions. Ask a question about the problem you actually must solve. You assumed a solution -- parse the string as an integer -- and then started asking questions about your assumed solution. That automatically precludes anyone from giving advice that is specific to your real problem. Maybe someone reading this has already developed a library of postal-code validating software; if they have, they'd never know to tell you about it from your original question.

A: Use Int.TryParse Or make a custom function.
function bool IsNumber(object number)
{
  try
  {
    Convert.ToInt32(number.ToString());
    return true;
  }
  catch
  {
   return false;
  }
}

A: See if int.TryParse gives you an answer, and make sure there's not a decimal point in the input string. (This will give you a false positive if someone enters "1." as the input.)
string input;
int ignored;

bool wholeNumber = int.TryParse(input, out ignored) && input.indexOf('.') == -1;

A: int types have to be whole numbers by definition. It would have to be type double, float, or decimal to be a non-whole number. You can always try testing the type of the input.
Or maybe the input is a string? If the input is a string, you could try searching for a '.' or ',' character (depending on the culture). Or you could try parsing as an integer.

A: Since every int is a whole number, this is easy:
public static bool IsWholeNumber(int i)
{
    return true;
}

A: If you just want to validate it in the if statement you could just do
If ( val % 1 > 0)
  //not whole number

This strip is, of course, pretty damn silly, but it's where Artie's personality officially coelesces. Throughout "Smart Gerbils" and the first part of "Dr. Narbon," I don't quite have a handle on him, but what we have here is pretty much Artie as he will be for the rest of Narbonic: a well-meaning, doggedly progressive, frequently misguided organizer and peacemaker cast amid people who live to blow things up and are as organizable as a herd of cats (and Artie doesn't do well with cats). But he keeps plugging away. Poor dumb little supergenius.
Kevin Mowery is the ex-boyfriend glimpsed in the background of the second Narbonic strip. Steven Chin was an intern at the Cartoon Art Museum who apparently made the mistake of looking at Narbonic at some point. Jeffrey Johnson hails from the old MST3K Usenet group.
That photo still cracks me up. Nothing beats a cat with a totally bonkers expression on its furry cat face, beating the literal stuffing out of some mice. Thanks again, Jennifer Myer!
Artie's "yeek" expression is priceless.
I suspect that this Jennifer Myer is my high school friend Robin. Yay! I'd forgotten she showed up in this strip.
Artie's "yeek" expression is beyond forgiving!
Further conclusive proof of Mell's super elastic neck powers can be found in the final panel.
Someone needs to LOL CATS that photo. I'd do it, but I never really mastered the grammar.

Sometimes, you may want to manually add a dose for an inhaler that has a Propeller sensor on it. For example, your child may have an inhaler without a sensor that they keep at school or you may use an inhaler without a sensor while at the hospital.
There's a quick way to add these usages so that you can ensure that the Propeller app is as accurate and effective as possible!
1. Open the Propeller app and tap 'Timeline' on the menu bar at the bottom of your screen.
2. Tap the white plus-sign icon ( + ) and the 'Add event' screen will open. On iOS, the icon is in the top right-hand corner. For Android, you'll find the plus sign in the bottom right-hand corner.
3. To edit when the usage occurred, tap the grey pencil icon next to 'Date'.
4. To change the medication being recorded, tap the grey pencil icon next to 'Medication'.
5. Select the correct number of puffs by using the -/+ icons.
6. Tap 'Save' in the top right-hand corner to record the usage.
To track medications that don't have sensors attached, follow the easy steps in this article.

It Just Gets Crazier – Airports Offering Flu Shots
Posted on Dec 9th 2007 by Administrator.
From Patricia Doyle, PhD
Pharmaceutical companies must be very thrilled with airport flu shot mills because this will bring in more revenue.
I think that taking any vaccine, especially one that people take on a yearly basis is risky. As the article points out below "thimerosal, is a preservative in flu shots." We know the varous poisons like Aluminum and Mercury are in these shots as are other poisonous substances. Taking a yearly flu shot even for 3, 4 or 5 years can increase a persons risk for Alzheimer's Disease tenfold. It is believed the Aluminum which goes directly to the brain sets people up for Alzheimer's Disease.
These "shots 'r us" clinics do not have a patient's records in front of them and have no idea if the traveler has HIV/Aids, Diabetes, etc. which could effect both the efficacy of the flu shot and the patient's health.
Do we need another vaccine mill? Vaccine should be looked upon as a dangerous drug and one would not carelessly take medication without first having a complete physical, tests, etc.
Atlanta airport plans on offering pneumococcal vaccine once flu season ends. In no time at all, we could see airport kiosks offering all types of vaccinations to anyone who wants one (whether they need it or not).
Last year Chicago's Ohare airport offered 5,000 flu shots. The idea of selling flu shots, and eventually pneumococcal vaccine from kiosks next to the airport gates is not a helpful one as the article would have us believe.
I would have preferred to see wash basins and castile soap set up at the gates so that people could wash their hands properly and reduce their risk for influenza. Flu shots do not prevent flu. It was discovered that flu shots are not as efficacious in the elderly and immune compromised as once purported by the vaccine companies. The best hope is that a flu shot MIGHT help in preventing some complications in some people and, maybe shorten duration of flu. It is not a silver bullet at all.
Let us hope these kiosks do not offer nasal flu vaccine sprays because passengers will be shedding flu virus as they use airport facilities and travel. This could cause influenza to travel and spread.
Airports Offering Flu Shots
(ATLANTA) – After taking off shoes, pulling change out of pockets and going through security checkpoints, passengers now can roll up their sleeves and get a flu shot at gateside kiosks and health stations in some major U.S. airports.
Although health clinics at many U.S. airports have offered flu shots for years in public areas outside security checkpoints, officials found that few passengers want to risk missing their flights by getting vaccinated before clearing the checkpoints.
So this year, airports including those in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver and Newark, N.J., are offering flu shots in "airside" areas – passenger concourses inside the checkpoints.
"It's helpful being on the airside because people … don't know how long its going to take getting through security so they don't want to take a risk of waiting in a medical clinic or being stuck in security and not making their plane," said Maureen Zampella, director of nursing and general operations manager of Harmony Pharmacy & Health Center Inc. The company offers flu shots at its clinic in Terminal C of Newark Liberty International Airport.
It takes less than five minutes to get vaccinated at an airside flu shot clinic, says Dr. Dominic Mack, chief medical officer of The AeroClinic, which has two flu shot kiosks in Concourse C of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The cost ranges from $15 to $35, depending on the clinic. Shots are available to most flyers. Exceptions include people with allergies to chicken eggs and feathers or thimerosal, a preservative in flu shots and contact lens solution. Most of the gateside clinics are in domestic concourses, but clinic officials say they provide service to passengers who connect to other domestic and international flights.
"It's a viable option … especially for business travelers. They don't have time to go to the physician," Mack said. "This offers another option for the population to get their flu shots."
But passengers taking the shots won't be protected right away. Those vaccinated develop some immunity to the flu virus after three or four days. It takes about two weeks for a flu shot to offer full protection.
Being vaccinated now offers plenty of time for the shot to fully take effect before the peak flu season begins in the U.S., typically after December, Zampella said.
Danny Manzon of Jacksonville, Fla. wanted to get a flu shot for three months but the busy restaurant consultant never had the time to get vaccinated. So he jumped at the chance to get one from a kiosk near his airline gate at the Atlanta airport.
"The convenience is great," Manzon, 53, said after getting a flu shot on Tuesday from The AeroClinic kiosk, located in front of an AirTran Airways gate in Concourse C.
Ultimately, airport health clinics may offer more than flu shots to busy passengers near gates. Health officials say they're considering other kiosk-based services in the future, including more vaccinations and tests for high blood pressure or cholesterol.
"We're finding that's where people are," said Michelle Smith, spokeswoman for Denver Health, which operates the Medical Clinic at DIA, or Denver International Airport. "Especially if you're in an airport where a large percentage of our travelers are there for connecting flights, you want to be able to offer that convenience."
The Atlanta airport clinic is considering offering pneumococcal vaccine once the flu season ends, based on requests from travelers approaching the kiosks. It also may offer blood pressure and cholesterol tests at the kiosks in the future, Mack said. The Denver clinic wants to offer similar services and may also address altitude sickness, Smith said.
Last year, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport offered about 5,000 flu shots to airport passengers and employees from kiosks next to gates.
"We didn't know if it was going to be successful. It went over great and we asked the (Chicago) Department of Aviation this year to do kiosks full-time" at O'Hare and Chicago Midway Airport, said Dr. John Zautcke, medical director for the University of Illinois Medical Center at O'Hare. "Business travelers love it. They are just thanking us."
Dr. Nathaniel Hupert, assistant professor of public health and medicine at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York, says the gate vaccination programs make sense as a public health measure.
"Anything that makes flu shots more accessible is a good thing," said Hupert, who has no connection to the flu shot clinics. "It's always helpful during normal times to try out new mechanisms (to distribute vaccine). This idea of offering vaccine in airports is actually an interesting and helpful step."

Consciousness is in everything that exists; the elemental force of the Universe that vibrates in every atom. The development of consciousness commences first at the level of the stone, and continues in metal, crystal and vegetation. Plants already have the ability to feel, but are not able to express or communicate their feelings to others. At the next level of development are life forms such as coral and anemones that appear to be plants but actually belong to the animal kingdom. Then come fish, birds, mammals and finally humans as the most highly developed earthly beings.
Some of the more highly evolved animals have developed a certain limited capacity to discriminate, but humans are the only living beings on earth with comprehensive discrimination and free choice over their actions. Only we humans are capable of consciously shaping and changing our life.
Because we are "I-conscious" and behave wilfully, we also bear responsibility for our behaviour. That is why the cosmic law of KARMA is valid for us humans. The Karmic Law states that every action we take will at some time come back to us in the same way as it went out from us.
To harm no-one by our thoughts, words or deeds.
through actions that others do under our instructions.
Put briefly - everything that we have ever thought, spoken, done or caused is Karma; as is also that which we think, speak or do this very moment.
After death the physical body remains on the earth and decays; the elements detach from one another and return to their source. We again find ourselves as a bodiless, spiritual being in the astral plane because the subtle sheaths – the astral, mental and causal bodies – continue to exist. In these all our feelings, knowledge and memories remain. But there is one thing we lose after death - Kriyā Shakti , the ability to act. Only in the physical body are we are capable of doing good or bad. After death we are unable to do anything. Our earthly possessions, title and position no longer have any value - whatever level we reach in the Cosmos depends entirely upon our Karmas.
SANCHITA KARMA is the accumulated Karma from all of our previous lives. It would be impossible to experience and endure all Karmas in one life. Therefore only a small part of the Sanchitakarma comes into effect with each birth.
PRĀRABDHA KARMA is the portion of the accumulated karma that has "ripened" and appears as a particular problem in the present life.
KRIYAMĀNA KARMA , however, is everything that we produce in our present life. This Karma flows into the Sanchitakarma and consequently shapes our future.
When we plant an apple seed in the earth then naturally an apple tree grows. We can only expect apples from it and no other fruit. And in the same way the seeds of our actions also produce the appropriate effect.
The Law of Karma says that the energetic vibration arising from each action will one day come back to the one it originated from, either with the same qualities or even stronger through other intervening interactions. Through our actions we plant the "seeds" of our future destiny and therefore whatever happens to us is the "fruit" of our own past. If we think and act negatively we increase the disaster-bringing influences of our destiny; whereas positive thoughts and deeds develop the happiness-bringing potential.
There are two types of adverse actions; those we perform unconsciously, and those we do consciously and against our better judgement. Undoubtedly the latter weigh more heavily. Those who make a mistake out of ignorance do not invite such heavy karma to themselves as those who intentionally inflict harm and pain. But just as poison affects us if we take it unknowingly, suffering caused unintentionally, and therefore unconsciously, also gives rise to an appropriate karmic effect.
Just as a farmer first prepares his field so that later he can harvest a crop, we have first "sown" our destiny and, according to plan, those circumstances through which it can be fulfilled are produced.
If destiny is fashioned in this way, then what point is there to our efforts? Are we merely "puppets" moved by the thread of an inevitable fate? Not at all! We are able to exert an influence and alter the course of providence. What happens to us is pre-determined in the same way as the target of an arrow that has already been shot. Its course is foretellable and predictable – unless it is deflected or diverted by a new influence. Even though the events of our destiny are, in fact, lawfully caused and steered as a consequence of earlier actions, we do, however, have the opportunity to avert, or at least lessen, the impact through our present behaviour.
We are therefore in a position to change the course of our destiny – but only if we do something about it. Not just "anything", but the right thing at the right time. Through positive actions, pure thoughts, prayer, mantra and meditation we are able to resolve the influence of the Karmas from which we are suffering in this present life, and in this way gradually turn our destiny around for the better. The spiritual Master helps us with this. He knows the "karmic formula" and is aware of the sequence in which our earlier and present actions will bear fruit. That is why he is able to advise us and show us how we can partially or completely deflect the "arrow" of our karmas and so escape avoidable sorrows.
What does Karma look like? One can neither touch it nor see it. When fortunate or unfortunate events affect us, we say: "That was lucky" or "That was unlucky". But it is really our own vibration that pulls us towards luck or misfortune. We are driven hither and thither by it, just like a boat moved about in the wind and currents. Karma is a vibration that surrounds our subtle "Phänomen" . Its fine vibration is not limited spatially and accompanies us everywhere. The effect of our phänomen can be compared with a dynamo that generates two kinds of energy: negative and positive.
Positive Karmas – love, forgiveness, help and selfless service, practising mantra, prayer and meditation – generate a positive, healing energy that purifies and enlightens our phänomen. If the being of a person is filled only by the radiance of positive and divine qualities, his phänomen is completely illuminated. Such a person is an "enlightened one"; one who is united with God – because God is love, light, harmony, knowledge, reality, truth and unity.
However, through negative thoughts, words, deeds and harmful qualities, such as anger, hatred, jealousy, attachment, passion, greed, fanaticism and egotism, destructive energies are produced which darken our phänomen. We produce negative Karma because we lack knowledge and clarity. The purpose of our existence here on earth is to gain correct knowledge and insight. If we do not make use of this opportunity and remain in ignorance, then after death we must again return to the world in a new birth to clear all unresolved Karmas.
Whether we believe it or not – rebirth is a fact. As humans, however, we have the possibility to make more rapid progress towards the light through the practice of good Karma. This is why we should not allow the precious opportunity given by a human life to slip by! We are travellers who have come to the "Hotel of the Earth" for just one brief night. Soon a new day will dawn and we must again depart. We can take nothing with us; everything remains here except the quality of our actions.


This service was previously inspected in June 2016. At that time we found there was a breach of Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
This inspection was conducted on 28 September 2017 by one adult social care inspector.
During our visit we met everyone living in the home and spoke with four people individually. We spent time with the provider, registered manager, and all staff on duty. We also spoke with two relatives who provided us with their views of the service. We looked at three people's care records, together with other records relating to their care and the running of the service. This included staff employment records, policies and procedures, audits and quality assurance reports.

MAC Basketball Tournament: Akron Survives Kent State, Earns Chance to Repeat
By Benjamin Miraski Mar 9, 2012, 9:22pm EST
Share All sharing options for: MAC Basketball Tournament: Akron Survives Kent State, Earns Chance to Repeat
It should have been easier than it was, but top-seeded Akron managed to hold on for a 78-74 win over Kent State, and advance to Saturday's MAC tournament final.
Final - 3.9.2012
Kent St. Golden Flashes 36 38 74
Akron Zips 41 37 78
The Golden Flashes tried everything in the last two minutes to stay alive, as Randal Holt suddenly getting hot from behind the 3-point line. It just happened too late.
Earlier that range had belonged to Akron, who made eight 3-pointers to Kent State's five in the game. At one point, the Zips had sunk 7 of 14 from long range to Kent State's one.
And yet despite tired legs, the Golden Flashes just kept finding ways to keep the defending champs from coasting.
It didn't help that shot blocker extraordinaire Zeke Marshall spent most of the second half resting on the bench with foul trouble, limiting him to just two blocks in the game. His presence in the opening 20 minutes had Kent State settling for jumpers instead of going to the hoop for easy baskets.
You don't want to put too much stock in one player, but Akron seemed to show much more poise on the floor when the junior was out there. Sans the defensive player of the year, turnovers were up, defense was lax. It is no wonder that Kent State thought they might have an opening.
This was after the Zips almost ran them out of the building in the first half. And when they couldn't run, they shot 3s. Lots of them, as in 20, as in 40 percent of their shots.
Nikola Cvetinovic led the early charge, with two 3-pointers, and finished with a team-high 15 points. Alex Abreu (3 3-pointers) finished with 13.
The Golden Flashes were led by Holt, who scored 21 points, including six in the final 30 seconds, and Justin Greene with 20.
That Akron struggled so much to just put Kent State away isn't a good sign. During the year, they powered past the Golden Flashes in the second halves of games, using long runs to their advantage. It just didn't come as easily Friday -- until Kent State starting tripping all over itself. Even then, Marshall and Abreu failed to make important free throws down the stretch.
Struggling that much can't bode well for them on Saturday against either Ohio or Buffalo, both of whom will have something to prove against the conference champs.

TWINKIDS is the electronic pop project of pianist-producer Matt Young and Tokyo-native singer-songwriter Gene Fukui. After meeting at Oberlin College & Conservatory in northeast Ohio – the same rural campus that spawned the likes of Teengirl Fantasy, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Liz Phair – the two quickly discovered a mutual reverence for electronic music and began writing, producing, and performing as one. They went on to study at the renowned Banff Centre in Canada under Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene.
TWINKIDS bring together Gene's experience as a J-pop songwriter and Matt's background in classical piano, delivering genre-bending tunes with catchy hooks and lush harmonies. Following releases on Cascine, Yellow Year Records, a collaboration with Australian singer-songwriter Sophie Lowe, and official remixes for Dawn Richard and Ghostly International, the LA-based duo signed with Om Records and garnered a number one charting song on Hype Machine 'Jigoku Tengoku' along with a national tour with Matt and Kim and press support from NYLON, THE FADER, Stereogum, Billboard and OUT Magazine.
TWINKIDS' debut EP "Boys Love" pays homage to the gay romance manga genre of the same name. Drawing influence from 80's J-pop and artists like Imogen Heap and Bonobo, the EP's five songs tell coming-of-age stories about falling in love.

Putting Contador's yellow in context

Alberto Contador effectively sealed his second Tour de France win on Saturday with a strong, calculated ride on Mont Ventoux. He coped with all the attacks of closest rival Andy Schleck and, barring accident, will stand on top of the podium today in Paris. Cyclingnews' Shane Stokes reports.
The 2009 Tour de France will be Alberto Contador's fourth consecutive Grand Tour victory and, if you consider each of them, it's also his most important to date.
Each triumph has had been marked by its own distinctive characteristic. In 2007 he won his first Tour de France as the only rider capable of taking the fight to a rampant Michael Rasmussen, who was later ejected from the race. In 2008 he went to the Giro d'Italia with very little notice, gradually riding himself into form and taking a narrow victory that owed huge amounts to stubbornness and determination. Later that year, he started the Vuelta a España as the clear favourite, coping well with that pressure and the call of history. In Spain he had, and took, the chance to beat Bernhard Hinault's record as quickest ever to take all three Grand Tours.
Yet the 2009 Tour will be the best yet, for a number of reasons. Firstly, in winning this year's Tour he will extend his unbeaten streak to four consecutive Grand Tours, and all in the space of two years. Secondly, this victory will come as part of dominant season where he won the Volta ao Algarve in February, took two stages and fourth overall in Paris-Nice in March, and won the Vuelta a Pais Vasco in April. Then, following a break from competition, he came back and finished third in the Dauphiné in June. Nobody can accuse him of focussing only on the Tour de France.
Another distinctive aspect of this Tour has been Contador's ability to overcome the pressure he faced this year, both as race favourite and the tension caused by the close relationship between Lance Armstrong and team manager Johan Bruyneel. Contrary to what the team said, there were subtle signs before and during the Tour that all was not equal; think back to Paris-Nice, and the comments from both after he lost the race lead there, or the sniping and faulting of him during this year's Tour.
Perhaps the most revealing factor of Contador's triumph this year is the manner of his win. From his performances against the clock in Monaco and Annecy to his dominance in the mountains at Andorra Arcalis and Verbier, he gave the impression that if he had to, if he really had to, he could have taken far more time out of his rivals. Contador may look at times like a shy kid, appearing a little lost at the back of the Astana train, but there's a considerable strength of character within the 26-year-old. Otherwise, he simply couldn't have taken on a psychologically-dominating seven-time Tour winner from within his own team and come out on top.
"In 2007, it was very tight until the last time trial," he told the media on Sunday, when asked to compare his two Tour wins. "That was a physical victory. This year, it was necessary to have the legs in the race, but also to be tough mentally. 2007 was physically hard, 2009 was very difficult both physically and mentally.
"Since the beginning of the season, I focussed on every detail. I arrived as the favourite this time and I couldn't count on the element of surprise."
All change at Astana
To understand the situation Contador was in this year, it's necessary to think back 30 months or so. In 2007 the Discovery Channel team was starting the season a little unsure of its prospects. Armstrong had retired in 2005 and while the team head headed to the 2006 Tour determined to do well, the campaign was nothing like previous ones. George Hincapie was spoken of as a possible contender but that didn't work out. In fact, at the end of the three weeks, José Azevedo's distant 19th was the best overall placing.
Enter Contador. He was signed to the team for the start of the 2007 season and immediately started to exceed expectations. Despite being just 24 years of age, he won Paris-Nice, then seized the Tour de France title four months later.
The young Spaniard moved with Johan Bruyneel to the Astana squad, missing the 2008 Tour due to the Kazakh team's exclusion. Absent during July he won both the Giro in May and the Vuelta in September; it made him indisputably cycling's best young talent.
Hence the dissatisfaction when Armstrong said he was going to return to racing with Astana. Contador saw that as a threat to his status as leader and briefly spoke about leaving. He received guarantees that all would be fine, but as things progressed it was clear that tension had started to build.
"When Lance Armstrong announced his return, I still had a contract [until the end of 2010]. I had no other possibilities, and my current team was the strongest for the Grand Tours," he said, explaining why leaving wasn't really an option.
"Circumstances built up against me but rather than worry about them, I used them as an additional stimulus. Lance wanted to do well in the general classification, but competition does not tolerate two winners. I prepared well for the race. I knew I was in good shape. I did not know his state of form, but the true decider is out on the course."
Contador got the upper hand early on when he beat Armstrong by 22 seconds in the prologue, but then he lost 41 seconds to the Texan when he missed an important move in the crosswinds of day three to La Grande Motte. He remained 19 seconds behind until the stage to Andorra Arcalis, where he bolted clear and ended the day two seconds ahead.
Although that move strengthened Astana's hand by moving him closer to the overall lead, it clearly began to pull on the ratchet of tensions within his team. That mountain had shown Armstrong that he had a real fight on his hands; we don't know what the mood was like around the dinner table and in the team bus, but Contador does nominate the following day as being his most difficult psychological moment of the race. "The most complicated time was the day after Andorra," he said, without giving further details.
The next time gain was eight stages later, on the race to the second summit finish of the Tour. Verbier was the location, and 1:35 was the gap back to Armstrong. That increased again by 2:18 on the Le Grand Bornand stage, then Contador took another one minute 29 seconds in the Annecy time trial. The performances dispelled any doubts that he deserved to be the team leader.
"It was a hard Tour," he stated in Saturday's press conference. "Before leaving, I knew I had to be ready both physically and mentally. At the end of each stage, I said 'one day less'. There were tensions, but the situation has normalized. And I am very happy with the result."
In the end, it was not Armstrong but the Schleck brothers who proved to be his biggest rivals. Fränk eventually ended up fifth but he fired some big attacks at the Spaniard in the mountains. His younger brother did this to an even greater extent, marking himself out as one of the top two climbers in the race. Contador was the other.
"Andy really made me suffer a lot," admitted the Spaniard. "He didn't make any mistakes - I made the difference in the time trials, and also in the short time trial in Monaco. He really rode intelligently. I don't think I made any errors and I was very attentive throughout the race. But the Schlecks raced in a matter that was very smart and very brave."
"It is a good question," he said, smiling. "In the end, I had what I wanted, and he won with one of his riders. It is necessary to ask him that question."
It's clear that the two riders, who between them have won eleven Grand Tours, are heading in different directions. Otherwise, Alpha-Male-Armageddon would result. Armstrong is bound for the new RadioShack team, while Contador is yet to disclose his plans. One option would be to stay with the Astana setup, which is set to continue next year with the returning Alexandre Vinokourov. Another would be to head to a completely different team.
There has been speculation that he would be welcome at Caisse d'Epargne – who would certainly be looking for a new leader if Alejandro Valverde's CONI ban is extended - while Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso is reportedly interested in establishing a new team around him. Garmin-Slipstream has also been mentioned as a possibility.
Right now, Contador's priority is to get to Paris, then start thinking about what colours he will be wearing next season. "I have to wait until the end of the Tour [before thinking about that]," he said. "One thing is for sure is that I will be on a different project than Lance Armstrong. I have different options, perhaps there will be a team built around me. We will see what's most practical."
Whatever he opts for, it's almost certain that the Contador-Armstrong duel will be re-ignited again in 2010. Armstrong will be approaching 39 years of age then, but the Spaniard seems to think that he will be a big factor in next year's race.
"I think he will certainly be a dangerous rival. He already showed this year that he was a clear candidate, and he will again be a clear candidate for overall victory next year," he stated. "Especially after what he showed in this edition, he could play an important role."
Armstrong won his first Tour at 27 years of age. Contador is a year younger than that and has already clocked up two editions, as well as a Giro and Vuelta victory. Does he think about matching or exceeding the seven-Tour run set by Armstrong?
"I am not really concerned by records," he answered. "I just want to enjoy every year I do as a cyclist and maybe I will focus on other races too. Perhaps I will do the Giro, Classics, the Vuelta. For sure my main goal will remain the Tour de France, without forgetting some other races."
Still, even if he says he does not obsess about winning multiple Tours, he takes some pride in beating a seven-time champion. "When you win a race, it's always better to beat the great riders, the great names," he said. "The photo of the podium in Paris will be historical."
When silence is too loud
Rightly or wrongly, the strength of Alberto Contador's Tour de France performance, his speed in time trials and rumours he was mentioned in documents seized during the 2006 Operación Puerto investigation have led to questions. Recent editions of the Tour de France have been blighted by scandals and people want to know that what they are seeing is genuine.
However the rider didn't do himself any favours when, in the press conference after the Annecy time trial, he flatly refused to answer a series of questions about doping. On Saturday he improved on that by actually expressing an opinion on the subject.
"I can be located 365 days a year. We have controls all the time and I am very happy about that, it is good for my sport. I have undergone a lot of checks, and always with good grace," he said.
"I am very happy that on this Tour de France, there were no doping scandals. There are more controls, a lot of money is devoted to the fight against doping and the mentality of the riders is changing. For me that is a great victory for cycling."
The response was a complete turnaround from Thursday's press conference. On three occasions then his only response then was 'otra pregunta' - 'another question' when asked about the subject. Yet, as the likely 2009 Tour champion, Contador is going to be asked his opinion many times about such matters. After the Festina, Puerto and Landis cases, it comes with the territory.


Leeds United fans have been waiting for Huddersfield Town to slip up since their promotion to the Premier League - and last night's thumping 5-0 defeat at Arsenal gave them the perfect opportunity to mock their arch rivals.
Town's 4-0 loss at Bournemouth earlier this month had prompted a reaction from Leeds fans on social media but after shipping five at the Emirates Stadium last night, Leeds fans were quick to put Town supporters in their place.
Huddersfield started the season impressively with back-to-back wins and have beaten Manchester United already this season too but after a poor run of form, particularly away from home, they now sit just five points ahead of the relegation zone.
David Wagner's side fell behind early to an Alexandre Lacazette strike and further goals from Olivier Giroud (2), Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil condemned them to their heaviest defeat yet since being promoted to the Premier League for the first time.
And Leeds supporters couldn't resist the opportunity to have a dig at Town as a result.
Here's a round-up of some of the best reaction from social media.

United States Congressman
curt clawson
Congressman Curt Clawson has been coming to Southwest Florida since his family settled in Bonita Springs in 1993. After a successful career as a business leader and former college basketball player, Clawson moved to Southwest Florida in 2011. He soon became involved in local water issues.
Urged by local leaders and motivated by his family's generations of service to their country, Clawson decided in 2014 to run in a special election to fill the vacated seat in Florida's 19th Congressional District. Clawson won the election on messages of constitutional conservatism, growing the economy and unifying the Republican Party of Southwest Florida.
Clawson was sworn into office by House Speaker John Boehner on June 25, 2014, one day after winning the special election by nearly forty percentage points.
Born in Tacoma, Washington, Clawson attended Batesville High School in Batesville, Indiana – a hotbed of Indiana high school basketball. As a senior in high school, Clawson led the state of Indiana in scoring and was recruited by Purdue Head Basketball Coach Gene Keady, where he later helped his team win the 1984 Big Ten Championship. As a senior captain on that 1984 Team, Clawson is known for making the first 3-point basket in Purdue history and making two clutch free throws to clinch the Big Ten Championship.
After graduating from Purdue, Clawson served a year-long Ambassadorial Scholarship for Rotary International, enrolled in graduate MBA studies in Monterrey, Mexico, and took some time to play for the local university basketball team. Clawson began his working career in manufacturing in 1986, as a supervisor on a muffler production line in Columbus, Indiana for Arvin Industries – the world's largest manufacturer of automotive exhaust systems.
In 1990, Clawson graduated from Harvard Business School with a Masters of Business Administration degree, sponsored by Arvin. He returned to Arvin and held a variety of senior management level positions.
In 1995, Clawson joined AlliedSignal (now Honeywell) as President of the Filters and Spark Plugs Group, which manufactured Autolite® spark plugs and FRAM® filters. In 1999, he became President and Chief Operating Officer of American National Can – the world's largest manufacturer of beverage cans.
In 2001, Clawson joined Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc., a global leader in wheel rim manufacturing. He served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company from September 2001 until his retirement in February 2012. During his time at Hayes, Clawson successfully led the company out of the financial distress he inherited – without taking one penny of taxpayer money – saving thousands of jobs.
While at Hayes, Clawson established, and still principally funds, a shelter for homeless teen mothers on the east side of Detroit. He also stays active advising and mentoring young athletes in Southwest Florida.
Clawson's parents, Jack and Cherie, are residents of Bonita Springs. When not in Washington, Curt enjoys spending time with them during the autumn of their lives. Together, they enjoy walking the beach, swimming in the Gulf, and watching beautiful sunsets. Read More

Paperback Crush
The Totally Radical History of '80s and '90s Teen Fiction
by Gabrielle Moss Author · Emily Woo Zeller Narrator
EssaysNonfictionHumor (Nonfiction)
A hilarious and nostalgic trip through the history of paperback pre-teen series of the '80s and '90s
Every twenty- or thirty-something woman knows these books. The pink covers, the flimsy paper, the zillion volumes in the series that kept you reading for your entire adolescence. Spurred by the commercial success of Sweet Valley High and The Babysitters Club, these were not the serious-issue YA novels of the 1970s, nor were they the blockbuster books of the Harry Potter and Twilight ilk. They were cheap, short, and utterly beloved.
Paperback Crush dives in deep to this golden age with affection, history, and a little bit of snark. Listeners will discover (and fondly remember) girl-centric series on everything from correspondence (Pen Pals and Dear Diary) to sports (The Pink Parrots, Cheerleaders, and The Gymnasts) to a newspaper at an all-girls Orthodox Jewish middle school (The B.Y. Times) to a literal teen angel (Teen Angels: Heaven Can Wait, where an enterprising guardian angel named Cisco has to earn her wings "by helping the world's sexist rock star"). Some were blatant ripoffs of the successful series (looking at you, Sleepover Friends and The Girls of Canby Hall), some were sick-lit tearjerkers a la Love Story (Abby, My Love), and some were just plain perplexing (Uncle Vampire?) But all of them represent that time gone by of girl-power and endless sessions of sustained silent reading.
