(Reuters Health) – Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after leaving
the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn’t seem to reduce those errors, in a new study.

Consequences of mistakes – such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose – can range
from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percent of errors were
life-threatening.

Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in addition to
the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study’s lead author from the Vanderbilt
University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

“We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients) were still having these
medication errors,” he told Reuters Health.

Although the pharmacist visits didn’t help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed to benefit
– such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble understanding health information. As for
traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed.

An Alliance Could Answer The Growing Threat from Google and Facebook By Evelyn M.RuIsi and
Nick Bilton

Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with Twitter in recent months
about making a strategic investment in it, according to people briefed on the matter.

Although apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social
networking, which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile devices. Social
media are increasingly influencing the ways people spend their time and money — important
consideration for Apple, which also sells application, games, music and movies.

Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter
at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to
be identified because the discussions were private.

There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come to
an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying
competition from companies like Google and Facebook.

Apple has not made many friends in social mediA. Its relationship with Facebook, for example, has been
strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple’s music-centric social network, fell
apart. Facebook is also aligned with Microsoft, which owns a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple
rival in the phone market, has been pushing its own social network, Google Plus.

*What is the news about?

A. Social networking.
B. Apple’s new products.
C. Twitter strategic investment.
D. Twitters success in social mediA.
E. Apple’s plan to cooperate with Twitter.

*According to the news, Apple has not been very successful in ….

A. selling phones
B. strategic investment
C. cooperating with Twitter
D. getting into social media
E. selling game applications

* ”But the earlier talks are sign that they may form a stronger partnership”. The word “partnership”
means ….

A. collusion
B. competition
C. agreement
D. negotiation
E. collaboration

(Reuters) – Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade withdrew his name from the player pool for the U.S.

After receiving the diagnosis from the Heat team physician, the All-Star guard, who helped Miami win

TEXT 1
There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed
advertisement'?" Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than
useless junk mail, while other people feel it is important source information.

There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and magazines.
One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we can find out
what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping. Another
reason is that advertisement promotes business. When shop owners compete against each
other the buyer saves money, more people come to their shops and they sell more goods.

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and
magazines for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print
onto paper. Also some people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads also
influence people to buy items they don't need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of
space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-catching.

The government has decided to submit the draft of the bill against pornography and pornographic acts.
The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography is punishable by law. This includes public acts
such as spouses kissing and people sunbathing in bikini or swimwear. As a consequence, the bill
causes controversy.
The government argues that the bill is made to protect women’s right. Women have so far been the
object of exploitation in mass media and this only gives more benefits to the owner of the business.

Woman activists, on the other hand, argue that the bill will limit women’s freedom. They believe the
bill will dictate what women should wear and on how to dress and behave. If they fail following the
rule they will get penalties between Rp50 million and Rp1 billion.

can decrease the rampant pornography shown or written in mass media that gives bad effects on young
generations.
