About our Cover: “PD First” Policies Take Root in Asia Pacific Region In 2008, the government of Thailand implemented a “PD First” policy, encouraging the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) over in-center hemodialysis (HD) to expand access to treatment and enhance quality of life for patients with end-stage kidney failure while controlling costs. The result has been a sharp increase in the number of PD patients in Thailand, from about 1,000 in January 2008 to more than 10,000 at the end of 2011. Kanyakorn Piasukho of Bangkok was diagnosed with chronic nephritis in infancy and experienced acute kidney failure in 2009. She relies on PD therapy as she awaits a possible kidney transplant. Baxter projects the number of PD patients in Thailand to reach 35,000 in the next five years. Several countries throughout the Asia Pacific region, including Malaysia, Taiwan, India and Vietnam, are evaluating and implementing similar policies that encourage the use of PD over HD to help drive increased access, optimize outcomes and manage the growing need for renal disease treatment with limited healthcare resources. In Hong Kong, which has had a PD First policy for nearly 20 years, PD penetration is about 80 percent. paragraphs.com Baxter’s commitment to the health of Thailand’s residents extends to the company’s response to extreme rainfall and flooding that devastated parts of that country in late 2011. Baxter took decisive action to ensure that the affected area’s PD patients continued to Design: Newsweek 2011 Green Rankings Logo, ©2011 Newsweek/The Daily Beast Company LLC.

It is the 7th largest economy in the world. Bolstered by strong domestic demand and a growing middle class, Brazil weathered the economic downturn better than most major economies and grew 7.5% last year, compared to an estimated 2.3% growth in the G7 countries and 2.8% in the United States. During the past decade, the country maintained sound macroeconomic policies to control inflation without sacrificing economic growth. This kept the inflation rate at 5.9% in 2010, and unemployment at 7.1%. Interest rates, though high compared to the rest of the world, remained historically low at the Central Bank rate of 10.75%.

The interior ministry identified the attacker as Ibrahim Suleiman, born in 1988. It said he was driving a cleaning truck at the time of the attack, and suffered multiple fractures and injuries. The min- istry added the five US soldiers were not injured. Security sources said that the suspect was taken to hospital under tight security. Detectives found in his possession a hand-written letter pledging allegiance to IS and adopting its ideology. Explosives - including a suicide belt - were found in the truck, owned by a local contracting company. Security bodies are interro- gating Ibrahim Suleiman Suleiman and conducting investi- gations to uncover the circumstances of the attack, in addition to finding the suspect’s accomplices and bring them to justice, the ministry said, reiterating commit- ment to preserving the safety and security of Kuwait and Kuwaitis. Kuwait is a stalwart US ally following the 1991 American-led Gulf War that ended the Iraqi occupation.

  • Physics of Tennis Lesson 4 Energy
    The Physics of Tennis Lesson 4: Energy changes when a ball interacts with different surfaces Unit Overview: In this unit students continue to develop understanding of what can be at first glance a complicated system, the game of tennis. In this activity we have taken two components of the game of tennis, the ball and court, to see if we can model the interactions between them. This activity focuses on the energy interactions between ball and court. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Describe what forces interact when the ball hits a surface. • Understand what changes occur when potential and kinetic energy conversion is taking place within a system. At the high school level students should include connections to the concept of “work =FxD” and calculations of Ek = ½ 2 mv and Ep =mgh according to the conservation of energy principal. • Identify the types of energy used in this system. (restricted to potential & kinetic energy) • Comparative relative energy losses for typical court compositions. Lesson Time Required: Four class periods Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards: • NGSS: HS-PS3-1.Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. • CCSS.Math. Content: 8.F.B.4 Use functions to model relationships between quantities. • Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph.
