Mass. Gov. proposes new compounding pharmacy rules

BOSTON (AP) ? Gov. Deval Patrick on Friday proposed tighter regulations on sterile compounding pharmacies following a deadly nationwide meningitis outbreak linked to a Massachusetts company.

The proposal comes as the New England Compounding Center is trying to place blame for the outbreak on a cleaning contractor that provided once-a-month services to NECC's cleanroom facilities.

The outbreak linked to NECC has been blamed for 39 deaths and hundreds of illnesses nationwide.

Patrick said he's filing a bill that would require compounding pharmacies to obtain a special state license that he said would make it easier for regulators to hold them accountable. The bill would also create whistleblower protections for pharmacy workers and enforce new fines and penalties for compounding pharmacies that break the rules.

"There is, of course, no action that we in government can take to prevent all abuses in all industries, but we must do what we can," Patrick said.

Patrick's bill would also require that out-of-state pharmacies that deliver and dispense medications in Massachusetts also obtain a state license.

Pharmacies and pharmacists would also have to report to an overhauled 11-member state oversight board whenever they are the subject of any disciplinary action by other state or federal agency, under the bill.

The Colorado pharmacy board had complained about the New England Compounding Center in July, before the third of three batches of tainted steroids tied to the outbreak was shipped in August, but the Massachusetts pharmacy board's director and attorney didn't notify leadership at the Department of Public Health.

Patrick said the change would enable the oversight board "to know when issues arise with Massachusetts' pharmacies doing business outside of our state." Patrick also wants to hire more inspectors to keep an eye on the industry.

Patrick's recommendation came as NECC sent a letter to UniFirst Corp., demanding it take legal responsibility for claims against the compounding center related to the outbreak.

The letter was referenced in a Thursday filing by UniFirst to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the filing, UniFirst wrote that the demand relates to the once-a-month cleaning services they provided to NECC.

UniFirst said it believes the claims are without merit.

UniFirst spokesman Adam Soreff said in a statement the company's UniClean business sent two technicians to NECC monthly for 90 minutes each. He said the cleaners used the NECC's own cleaning solution.

"UniClean was not in any way responsible for NECC's day-to-day operations, its overall facility cleanliness, or the integrity of the products they produced," he said.

A tainted steroid produced by Framingham-based NECC, and given mainly for back pain, has been tied to the fungal meningitis outbreak, which was discovered in Tennessee in September.

The company has shut down and recalled its products. Inspections at NECC's facility found various potential contaminants, including standing water and mold. Last month, the company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy and said it was seeking to set up a fund to pay victims.

Messages were left for the attorney for NECC's insurance company requesting comment, including on whether letters similar to the one sent to UniFirst have or will be sent to other companies.

Patrick said the state needs to take other steps. He said he supports a bill proposed by Attorney General Martha Coakley that would raise the maximum fine for corporate manslaughter from $1,000 to $250,000.

The $1,000 penalty hasn't been updated since it was first established in state law nearly 200 years ago.

In November, Massachusetts also began requiring sterile compounding pharmacies to report the volume and distribution of their medications to state regulators for the first time. Patrick said the new rule will help alert the state when a pharmacy like NECC is acting like a manufacturer and should obtain a license from the federal Food and Drug Administration.

Compounding pharmacies custom-mix drugs in doses or forms that generally aren't commercially available.

"Taken together, these changes can ensure that the significant harms that we've seen from substandard compounding never happen again," Patrick said.

Resolve to Improve Your Self Esteem: Part 2 | DisabilityLiving.ca

In a prior post (http://www.disabilityliving.ca/disability-canada-resolve-improve-self-esteem-part/) Disability Living explored the topic of self-esteem as it relates to disability. We pointed out that many people with disabilities do not have a healthy self-esteem. This is due in part to society?s lack of affirmation of individuals with physical, mental, emotional, and intellectual restrictions and limitations. The good news is people can raise their level of self-confidence. What better time to do this than at the beginning of a new year?

?

Easy ways to raise your self-esteem

Are you an individual with a disability who deals with a lack of self-confidence? If so, put the following tips to use this year and watch your self-esteem grow:

?

? Don?t let disability limit you ? We understand that disabilities do place some limitations on people. However, we also know that society doesn?t teach people with disabilities that they are capable of achieving great things. Resolve this year to remove any thoughts that you can?t do something because you have a disability. Read more about this at http://projects.fpg.unc.edu/~ncodh/orchid/pages/journey.cfm.

?

? Say ?yes? to yourself ? Many people with disabilities go through their lives being told ?no? by others. Sometimes, those with any type of restriction have to say ?yes? to themselves. They can do this by asking themselves what desires lie in their hearts and then developing an action plan to obtain those desires. For example, would you love to meet someone special? If so, say ?yes? to yourself by going places where you can meet other singles or even creating a profile on a reputable online singles website. See what wonderful things will happen for you when you say ?yes? to yourself in 2013.

?

? Like yourself ? Did you know that you are allowed to like yourself? It?s true. ?Give yourself permission to like yourself. By developing self-compassion, self-acceptance and self-love, you empower yourself to accomplish your goals and improve your relationships with others.?

?

? Choose your thoughts wisely ? If you spend one day paying attention to your thoughts, you might be unpleasantly surprised. Oftentimes, people will catch themselves thinking extremely negative thoughts. If you have any negative thoughts that are repetitive, write them down, then write down positive thoughts to replace them with. Practice filling your mind with positive thoughts that are sure to raise your self-esteem.

?

Do you have any tips for improving your self-image?

The Minyanville Migration: A Small-Business Story | Random ...

MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL

Editor's Note: Todd posts his vibes in real time each day on our Buzz & Banter.

I woke up this morning expecting to share my take on the financial markets; it?s the start of the New Year and everyone is chock full of predictions and prognostications.?

I will profess that my 2013 outlook hasn?t codified, and I'm not going to force it for the sake of page views, so please bear with me as I see both sides, assimilate crosscurrents, and attempt to identify advantageous risk-reward in an ever-changing probability spectrum. We do that all day, every day; it's a blessing and a curse.?

An investment theme has begun to materialize?think classic Styx?but it?s not fully baked yet so I?m gonna let it marinate over the weekend and take today?s vibe in a different direction. I want to talk about running a small business, navigating the media landscape, and believing in dreams.?

In the wee hours of Thursday morning?I've had trouble sleeping, for what it's worth?I sat at the desk in my home office to write, not really knowing why; it wasn't an article or an email, they were just thoughts that flowed seamlessly through my fingers. Forgive the non sequitur, but this is what popped out:

We've officially arrived in the land of information deflation; between Twitter, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Google+ (NASDAQ:GOOG) LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD), blogs, websites, and other social sharing tools, quality content seems to be swimming up a gushing waterfall, and if you don't know where to look, you're gonna swallow a lot of salt.

As a fledgling financial media company, Minyanville has reinvented itself several times. If we were a pure advertising-based media platform, we would have been toast a long time ago. ?Instead, we've operated with several guiding principles that saved our skin: use obstacles as opportunities, view problems as possibilities, and adapt?but never conform.

Through those lenses, we believe financial media has a competitive advantage versus the broader media sphere as folks will spend money for more-informed or timelier information (regardless of our mission, MV is still a business). We often use the basic cable-HBO model as an analogy; there's an entire universe of content at our fingertips but many will pay to watch Entourage (or Californication as the case may be).

Plenty of folks in media have experimented with how to monetize content in the face of this watershed information deflation; Andrew Sullivan embarked on an aggressive?and perhaps binary?experiment in announcing a paywall for his blog. This, of course, is on the back of similar experiments by the New York Times (NYSE:NYT), the Wall Street Journal (NASDAQ:NWS), and others; in short, there's a mad scramble to monetize the industry formerly known as media.

In this digitally dynamic time, we've continued to adjust and adapt. ?We embraced a tiered-content approach long before it was in vogue, offering free content that we (attempt to) monetize through advertising, as well as premium content (such as the Buzz & Banter) that we license (along with other products) to broker-dealers and individuals (in bulk or as individual subscriptions).

Still, something was missing from our corporate equation?it was more than an opportunity?it was, and always has been, THE upside call option in our business. ?We used to say that ?you gotta make bread to bake bread,? but somehow, in our efforts to make enough bread to pay the baker, we took our eye off the oven.

Some may recall that Hoofy and Boo won the 2008 Emmy award for New Approaches to Business and Financial Reporting (for my Sally Field moment, click here). It was the perfect media prize?it was shiny, looked great, and had absolutely zero revenue attached. But that element of our brand was never about the awards; those critters, truth be told, were the reason I created Minyanville in the first place.

It hasn?t been a straight line; in fact, I can envision an 11-year chart of Hoofy and Boo, both in terms of their relevance to our business and as a beacon of light that kept me going when my fingers hurt and my brain ached. I believed in them?and perhaps I needed them so I knew that Minyanville wouldn't be just another financial website that faded into the ether.?

While?Hoofy and Boo find their way?stay tuned, it?s gonna be good?you can never bet all your chips on a single hand and expect to stay in the game long enough to win. So we adapted our creative offering to service blue-chip clients in their efforts to distill information in an engaging way?and we found that some of the world?s largest companies want to dabble at intersection of credibility and creativity.

Why do I share this? Because I, like every other small-business owner in the world, wake up each morning in an attempt to navigate one of the most complex periods in the history of mankind (I'm not prone to hyperbole?I genuinely believe this to be true; our grandchildren will one day study this period). ?It is scary, exciting, dangerous, rewarding, overwhelming, grueling, and in select fleeting moments, perfect.?

I've written about the light at the end of the tunnel that isn?t affixed to the front of a train? The Upside to Anger and The Millennial Revolution?while acknowledging the time and price necessary for these dynamics to ferment. ?All the while, we, as business owners, Americans?as people?have been forced to stick and move through societal acrimony, political infighting, regulatory revolts, and?socionomic headwinds as we search and strive for that ever-elusive balance.

You know it don?t come easy. ?

While I spent the last few weeks under the weather?in bed resting rather than on a honeymoon with my beloved?I used the time wisely, for it remains our most precious commodity.?

I mapped 2013 strategies, fortified enterprise relationships, shaped the?MVP pipeline, and ideated concepts for MV Studios?with our talented team. And you know what?? I realized that one of the oldest adages in business wisdom rings true: If you do what you love, you?ll never work another day in your life.

Yes, Minyanville has adapted over our decade-long journey; we were dealt bad hands at times, endured strenuous stretches, said goodbye to friends, and had a slew of streaks of luck that ran both ways.?But as I peer back?and look forward?I can honestly say that?the mission of Minyanville?has remained the same as when we started this journey, and there's something to be said for that.

40-year-old interns kick-starting their careers

Landing a full-time job can be tough after taking time off, but now a handful of companies are offering adults short-term, low-paying assignments similar to college internships. NBC's Janet Shamlian reports and Carol Fishman of IRelaunch.com and Lisa Belkin of The Huffington Post discuss the new trend.

By TODAY.com staff

Getting full-time work is even harder when you've got a resume gap, as many moms find out when they try to re-enter the workforce after taking a few years off to raise the kids.

In order to land a new job, you need to be able to talk about your last job -- but no one will give you that job without recent experience. That's why more adults are finding themselves interns at 40. They're also finding internships to be?successful?on-ramps to full-time jobs. Carol Fishman of IRelaunch.com, which hosts conferences dedicated to return-to-work issues, and Lisa Belkin, a Huffington Post senior columnist on family issues, chatted about the trend on TODAY.

These internships are short-term, temporary work arrangements where adults typically work for low pay at reduced hours in order to build up new experience and prove their worth again.

"It's a tryout, and you have to see it that way and you have be willing to take the tradeoffs," said Belkin. "For many women, it's the perfect thing to do."

The company you land the internship with may decide to increase you to a full-time role if things work out and they see a fit, and the "40-year old intern" gets trained up on the latest tools. They're also buffing up their resume.

"It's really important to focus on the experience itself and not so much on the pay," said Fishman. "It's much more productive to focus on what you learned in your?internship then to talk about the fact that you just came off of an eight-year career break."

If the company doesn't offer a formal program, as the trend is just starting to see an upswing, don't feel shy about proposing your own internship.

"If you're in an interview and you think the hiring manager is?hesitant?to hire you because of a career break, suggest a short-term arrangement," said Fishman. "It will take out the perceived risk ... of hiring you permanently."

3 bright spots in the US job market for 2013 - Fortune Finance ...

FORTUNE --?For the past five years, joblessness has perhaps been the biggest thorn on the U.S. economy. The unemployment rate peaked at 10% in late 2009. Since then, it has only fallen to 7.7% as of November, suggesting the long slog is likely to continue into the New Year.

For 2013, economists widely agree the outlook for jobs will continue improving but not by much. The economy is expected to create 2.36 million jobs, slightly more than the estimated 1.9 million that's estimated for 2012, according to IHS Global Insight.

Older workers, particularly those who've been out of work for more than six months, have been disproportionately impacted. So have young workers struggling to launch their careers. And countless other groups are feeling the weight of an economy peeling off from a financial crisis and housing market meltdown.

Amid another blah year, a few workers that bore the brunt of the Great Recession stand to gain in 2013. Here are three:

College graduates

Congrats class of 2013! You have a better chance landing your dream job than the poor grads before you working as baristas.

The years following the Great Recession hit workers across the board, but those stepping out of college campuses in 2012 were hit particularly hard. They graduated at a time when half of all recent grads were either jobless or working low-waged jobs, according to an April analysis by the Associated Press.

The job market isn't expected to be quite as harsh for young people next year, economists say. Employers anticipate hiring 13% more Class of 2013 college graduates than they hired from the Class of 2012, according to a survey of employers conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

The top five bachelor's degree in demand? Finance, followed by computer and information science, accounting, business administration/management and mechanical engineering.

Construction workers

As the housing market continues to heal in 2013, expect more hiring in construction. Since the Great Recession technically ended in June 2009, jobs in homebuilding dropped 14.5% from 633,000 to 552,800 in November, according to the Labor Department.

In 2012 alone, the construction industry lost 9,000 jobs. That's expected to reverse come 2013, when the economy will likely add 100,000 jobs in homebuilding and other construction work, says Marisa Di Natale, economist at Moody's Analytics. The most dramatic pick-up is expected in 2014, with 300,000 more jobs.

Government workers

For the past three years, local and state governments held off on new hires and shed jobs almost every month. Officials struggled with plummeting tax revenues linked closely to property values.

But after years of virtually no hiring and as the housing market recovers, governments are expected to hire again, Natale says. For 2013, state governments, in particular, are expected to add 70,000 jobs.
