Fewer may get flu shots this year, surveys find
28/10/2010 15:29
By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY Only a year after the swine flu pandemic led Americans to line up for flu shots, many people are now spurning vaccines, two studies suggest. Only 37% of people plan to definitely get vaccinated this year, a Consumer Reports survey shows. About 30% say they definitely won't get a shot, while 31% of respondents are undecided, the survey of 1,500 says. Shox R3 Women Shox R4 MEDICAID: Doctors lose money giving flu shots to poor children HOME REMEDIES: Sometimes they actually work PREGNANT WOMEN: Flu shot may protect baby after birth In another survey of 1,300 adults by retailer CVS, 59% of respondents say they were "likely" to get a flu shot this year. Nearly two-thirds of CVS survey respondents knew that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends flu shots for everyone over 6 months old. But only half of those said that advice influenced their decision. Among people who say they'll skip the flu shot this year, 44% told Consumer Reports they're concerned about side effects, 41% said they're concerned about safety and 45% said fear about last year's pandemic was overblown, the survey says. Many doctors say they're concerned that vaccine myths are scaring people away from shots that could potentially save their lives — as well as the lives of their most vulnerable neighbors, such as people with cancer, the elderly and healthy newborns too young to be vaccinated.Shox R4 Women Shox R5 About 270,000 people were hospitalized for the flu last year and 12,470 died, according to the CDC. About 1,280 of those who died were children. That risk seems to have resonated with parents. Half of parents with children ages 6 months to 17 years definitely plan to get them vaccinated, the study shows. Only 41% of parents had their children vaccinated against flu in 2008. Air Yeezy Ato Matsumoto Some patients have said they're concerned about getting the new 3-in-1 vaccine. This year's flu vaccine protects not only against H1N1 (swine flu), but also two strains of seasonal flu. But Randy Bergen, a pediatrician with Kaiser Permanente in Walnut Creek, Calif., says this year's flu shots were made in the same way as flu shots have been made for decades. Some patients resist getting a flu shot because they don't want to be told what to do, he says: "Medicine and vaccines have gotten caught up in this cynicism about government and authority." air max 95 air max penny
Alaska high court: Voters may see write-in list
28/10/2010 15:03
The Alaska Supreme Court late Wednesday blocked a lower court's order and ruled that voters at polling places may see a list of write-in candidates. Gucci Indy bags Longchamp Bags The ruling was good news for the campaign of incumbent U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski. She was defeated in the Republican primary by tea party favorite Joe Miller and is mounting a write-in campaign. Former Sitka Mayor Scott McAdams is the Democratic candidate in the Senate race. The high court ruled quickly after attorneys for the state Division of Elections petitioned for a review of a ruling issued earlier Wednesday by Anchorage Superior Court Judge Frank A. Pfiffner. Pfiffner had granted a temporary restraining order stopping state elections officials from handing out write-in candidates' names at polling places. He said allowing them to do so would violate an administrative regulation and "smacks of electioneering at the polls." The Supreme Court said the list of registered write-in candidates must be limited to names only, with no party affiliations or other information. Besides issuing the emergency stay, the high court said it would expedite a state petition for review of the lower court ruling. It said responses from the state Democratic and Republican parties are due by Thursday afternoon on that point. Early voting has begun, and thousands of votes have been cast. Until the high court rules on the petition for review, the justices said all ballots cast by voters who are provided with the list of write-in candidates should be segregated from other ballots. Murkowski's campaign was pleased with the high court's decision. "This stay will ensure that Alaskans can continue to get the assistance they're entitled to under law," said her campaign manager, Kevin Sweeney. The Alaska Democratic Party criticized the state Division of Elections' appeal to the high court. Gucci Joy bags Gucci D Gold "What the DOE has done continues to profoundly complicate this election," Party Chairwoman Patti Higgins said. "They are throwing Alaska votes into question by first, providing the list and second, appealing the temporary restraining order." "We know that the Alaskan Democratic Party and the Alaskan Republican Party have been fighting to make sure that the people of Alaska have a fair and just election, and that has been what Joe has been advocating all along," Miller campaign spokesman Randy DeSoto said. The regulation referred to in Pfiffner's ruling reads, "Information regarding a write-in candidate may not be discussed, exhibited, or provided at the polling place, or within 200 feet of any entrance to the polling place." The judge said the Elections Division implemented a new policy despite "surreptitiously," seeking but not receiving required permission do so from the U.S. Department of Justice under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He enjoined the Elections Division from allowing election workers and polling place workers to post write-in candidates, to provide a list of write-in candidate names to voters or to verbally provide the names of write-in candidates to voters.Gucci Abbey bags Gucci Boston The Alaska Democratic Party sued Monday over the issue and the Republican Party of Alaska joined the lawsuit. The parties claimed the names handed out by election officials would skew voting in favor of write-in candidates. The Murkowski campaign had intervened in the lawsuit, arguing that election officials have a broad mandate to assist voters and that the desire of voters for assistance in past court cases has trumped state rules. At a hearing Monday, Assistant Attorney General Margaret Paton-Walsh said lists of write-in names were only intended as voter assistance and were not forms of advocacy. She said other states routinely post such information at polling places.Gucci Tote Gucci Men Bag
Sharron Angle ad: Is it racist?
27/10/2010 17:01
Sharron Angle has a new ad up that features Hispanic-appearing men carrying weapons and appearing in police mug shots. In the ad, she alleges that her opponent, incumbent Sen. Harry Reid (D) of Nevada, is soft on illegal immigrants. Has the Republican Senate candidate gone too far? Is the spot a racially-tinged appeal in the mold of the Willie Horton attack ad of 1988? Shox NZ Shox NZ Women That was a campaign ad sponsored by an outside spending group that associated Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis with a black convict, William Horton, who murdered a woman after escaping from a furlough program that Mr. Dukakis had supported. ONE MINUTE DEBATE: Should America's illegal immigrants be offered legal status? Hispanic and pro-immigration groups are furious. They say they will launch a Spanish-language ad blitz to try to counteract the effect of an ad which, they say, depicts Hispanics as criminals and thugs. The groups – America’s Voice, Mi Familia Vota, and Campaign for Community Change – said Tuesday that this campaign will try to convince Hispanics of the need to vote to counteract rising anti-immigrant sentiment. "Sharron Angle has decided to run one of the ugliest anti-illegal immigrants ad campaigns in history," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice. TOP 10 Weirdest Political ads Earlier this month, the Hispanic groups had accused a Republican-backed organization of running ads in Spanish in Nevada which were designed to actually suppress the Hispanic vote. Those ads, paid for by an outside funding group named Latinos for Reform had said, in Spanish, “Don’t vote this November. That’s the only way to send them a clear message.”Shox 2011 Shox 2011 Women The producers of those ads defended them, saying that Democrats take the Hispanic vote for granted. Ms. Angle’s newest spot begins with quick cuts of a border crossing in El Paso, Texas, followed by a blurry image of swarthy, large men striding towards the camera. Then it shows a still photo of what appears to be a gang, with at least one man holding an assault rifle. “Millions of illegal aliens, swarming across our border, joining violent gangs, forcing families to live in fear,” says the ad. It then goes on to say that Senator Reid has voted to give illegal aliens Social Security numbers, among other things, and sided with President Obama and the President of Mexico to “block Arizona’s tough new immigration law." Whatever the harshness of the ad, it does address a real policy difference between the two Nevada Senate opponents. Reid supports policies that would allow illegal immigrants to become legal residents. Angle does not. The Nevada Senate race has been one of the most bitter slugfests seen in a midterm election in decades. The candidates have been locked in a dead heat for months, with neither able to open up a statistically significant lead on the other.Shox 2010 Shox 2010 Women
UPDATE: Barnes & Noble Rolls Out New Nook E-reader
27/10/2010 17:00
Barnes & Noble Inc. lifted the wraps on a new version of its Nook e-reader device on Tuesday that offers a full-color touch-screen in an effort to set it apart from the Amazon Kindle. air jordan 6 air jordan 13 The announcement--made during a media event hosted by the bookseller in New York City--comes one year after Barnes (BKS) introduced the first version of its e-reader as part of an effort to stay competitive in the fast-growing e-book space that has largely been dominated by the Kindle. The new Nook sports a 7-inch, full-color touch-screen, in contrast to the black-and-white E-Ink based screens commonly used by the Kindle and other e-reader devices. Besides reading, the company said the Nook will also allow users to surf the Web and play music. The WiFi-only device will be available beginning Nov. 19 at a price of $249. The WiFi-only version of the Kindle sells for $139. E-readers are a growing business as more book publishers embrace the electronic format. The Kindle from Amazon.com (AMZN) is widely considered the leader in the market for stand-alone e-reader devices that use the E-Ink screen technology. But the market is becoming vastly more competitive with the growth of tablet computing devices such as the iPad from Apple Inc. (AAPL). The iPad has sold nearly 7.5 million units in its first two quarters on the market, according to Apple's financial statements. air jordan 3 coach handbags Amazon has never disclosed specific sales figures for the Kindle. In a statement on Monday, the company said sales of its latest generation of Kindles has already outpaced total Kindle sales in last year's fourth quarter. Analysts expect Amazon to sell between 5 million and 6 million units of the Kindle this year. According to Forrester Research, Barnes & Noble has been battling with Sony Corp. (SNE) for a distant second place in the stand-alone e-reader market. Forrester analyst James McQuivey said the Nook is expected to sell close to 2 million units by the end of the year--which would be on par with the firm's estimates for Sony's e-reader line. "Nobody's close to Kindle," McQuivey said, predicting that the Kindle will total 6 million units this year. air jordan 1 flight air jordan 1
O'Hare International Airport, expand Metra rail service and to invest
27/10/2010 16:59Giannoulias has repeatedly tied his economic stance to that of the president, who has made two trips to Illinois to drum up money for Giannoulias, the state's treasurer, in his bid to capture Obama's former seat. Shox 2010 Nike Air Jordan Due to a court ruling on how Obama's unexpired term was filled, the winner of the Nov. 2 election will likely get the chance to vote this year on whether to keep in place Bush-era tax cuts. Giannoulias supports Obama's plan to keep the cuts in place for taxpayers whose household income is less than $250,000, while Kirk favors extending the tax cuts for everyone. Kirk has suggested Giannoulias would be little more than Obama's rubber stamp. "Illinois families are not undertaxed," Kirk said. "In the teeth of the Great Recession, the last thing we should do is raise taxes." But Giannoulias said the 2001 tax cuts approved for the wealthy were "unnecessary and irresponsible." "I would allow the cuts for households making over $250,000 to expire while extending tax cuts for low- and middle-income Americans," he said. "As a stimulus measure, the wealthiest tend to save any new income, whereas low- and middle-class Americans immediately use that money to put food on their table, pay their mortgage, and send their kids to school."Dunk SB Low Women Nike Shox Giannoulias said he would give job tax credits to small businesses, extend tax breaks to families with college bills, and work on oversight of Wall Street to prevent another economic collapse and taxpayer-funded bailout. "These proposals would put more money in the pockets of those most likely to spend it and would support the types of small businesses that are responsible for most new job growth," Giannoulias said. Kirk said he backed efforts to modernize O'Hare International Airport, expand Metra rail service and to invest in the state's infrastructure, calling it the "key to unlocking Chicagoland's potential as the destination of choice for corporations to establish a North American headquarters." Two other candidates in the race, Libertarian Mike Labno and LeAlan Jones of the Green Party, both said they are opposed to the stimulus bill. Labno said he would expand the Bush-era tax cuts, while Jones would substitute his own plan that he said would give tax breaks to anyone making less than $1 million. Cheap Jordans Dunk SB high Women Jones said he would create green jobs by diverting tax money from Wall Street firms and investing it directly into communities through cooperatives, credit unions and a state bank. "The same corporations that caused the Great Recession are holding on to billions of dollars and refusing to create jobs," Jones said. "We must, as citizens, claim back that wealth so we can use it to rebuild a sustainable economy in all of our communities." Labno favors reducing government regulation to allow the free market to create jobs. "I will make it my primary goal to restore sound market principles of competition and supply-and-demand by eliminating government regulation, 'oversight,' mandates and restrictions wherever possible … and reducing them in the few places where they are justified," Labno said. air jordan 6 air jordan 18
