A new type of emergency room is beginning to emerge in neighborhoods, prompting confusion for some patients who are billed much more than they expected.
When John Havel awoke with a scratchy throat one Sunday morning in May, he decided to go to the new Elite Care Emergency Center located in the shopping strip at San Pedro Ave. and Bitters Rd.
"I walked in and told them, 'I've got a sore throat, do you handle that type of case?'" he said.
Within minutes Havel was seen by a doctor, treated for what he said turned out to be allergies, paid his $125 co-pay and left.
"They did a very good job," he said.
However, two months later, Havel received two bills in the mail. He still owed $1802.
"I was shocked," Havel said. "I was like, 'What are these for?' I called up. They said it was for my emergency room visit."
Havel said he was "unaware" he had gone to an emergency room and thought he had gone to a medical clinic, like the many urgent care clinics located throughout the city. Instead, he had gone to what's known as a freestanding medical emergency department. Elite Care is the first to open in San Antonio.
Freestanding ERs are the new thing in emergency medicine. They are typically located in strip malls in well-traveled neighborhoods, not attached to big hospitals.
Baptist Hospital operates a new emergency room just north of Elite Care on San Pedro in a former shoe store. Christus Health Care recently opened an emergency room at the Alon Market Centre. Both operate under their hospital licenses.
Elite Care is license by the state of Texas as a freestanding medical emergency department and is regulated as such.
"My goal is to change the culture of health care and make a miserable experience a nice one," said Dr. Abel Longoria, one of the group of Houston physicians that own and operate Elite Care facilities in Texas.
The experience begins in a well-appointed lobby complete with flat screen TV and refreshment bar.
Freestanding ERs, as licensed by the state, must be equipped and medically staffed at higher level than what's called an urgent care clinic.
"This makes us different from urgent cares, " Longoria said, pointing out his radiological suite complete with ultrasound, x-ray and CT-scan equipment.
"Emergency departments must have a CT-scan on site, must have radiology on site, must by open 24 hours, seven days a week," he said. "Urgent cares don't have to have any of that."
Therefore, the bills can be considerably greater than those at an urgent care clinic, which Longoria admits has caused some confusion.
Havel said he was unaware he was in an emergency room and that it would yield emergency room sized fees.
"I think there should be more disclosure on this, more discussion," he said. "There was no emergency. I drove myself there. I drove myself home."
When Havel called about his unexpected bill, he said he was surprised to learn he had been classified as a "level three out of five emergency."
Havel, self-employed, has a high deductible and therefore received the bill. For most patients, the bill would be sent to their insurance carrier to be paid.
At Elite Care, Longoria said they are equipped to handle any emergency, from heart attacks to gunshot wounds to babies with fevers.
Should a patient need surgery or to be admitted, he would be transported by ambulance to a hospital bed, bypassing that hospital's emergency room.
Longoria said they try to make it "very clear" patients are walking into an emergency department, but said more education is needed because the concept of freestanding emergency rooms is so new.
"This is just our way, our answer to access to health care," he said.
Plans are under way to open more locations within the year.

In October 2002, a teenage girl was brutally murdered in a small Northern California town. Seventeen-year-old Gwen Araujo was bound, bludgeoned, and strangled before her body was left in a shallow grave in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Araujo was biologically male; her given name was Edward. But at the age of fourteen, she came out to her family, and began dressing as a girl. "I told him, 'Whether you're a man or a woman I'm going to love you,'" said Araujo's mother, Sylvia Guerrero.
The summer before her murder, Araujo became friends with four men in their late teens and early twenties: Jaron Nabors, Michael Magdison, and the brothers Paul and Jose Merel. It was at a party at the Merels' house in early October that Jose Merel – who, like Magdison, had had sexual encounters with Araujo – began asking her if she was male or female. His brother's girlfriend thought they should "check" – so she put her hands up Araujo's skirt and discovered that she was biologically male.

ARTHUR is based on the best-selling children's books by Marc Brown. The series revolves around an eight year-old aardvark, his four year-old sister DW, and their family and friends. ARTHUR is a show about being a kid, exploring the world, and finding your place in it. It's about kids finding inner strengths, learning to make choices for themselves, taking responsibility for them and of course, having fun. In each episode, Arthur and his gang guide us through stories that deal with real "kid issues" — timeless difficulties and joys that all kids experience. The series also models the joys and rewards of literacy by presenting the many ways kids and adults incorporate reading and writing into their lives. Above all, ARTHUR is a comedy that tells its stories from a kids' point of view, never moralizing or talking down to them.

When Paul Gillespie took over the varsity wrestling program at Long Beach High School in early 1978, a single student signed up for the program. Call it a modest start to a distinguished 18-year coaching career at LBHS: 17 county titles, 17 conference championships, two New York State titles, and national rankings of 7th in 1982 and 13th in 1987.
"I really thought I was going to have a hard time starting the program," Gillespie recalled.
That September, though, he gathered a team of 17 wrestlers and won the conference. Over his Long Beach career, Gillespie amassed a 110-1 record in the league.
Now Gillespie, 61, has returned to his winning ways in his first year at the helm in Wantagh after a hiatus from head coaching. Wantagh captured the Nassau County dual meet title on Jan. 28. Two weeks later, Gillespie's team had two wrestlers win individual county titles and 12 earn All-County honors at the individual county wrestling championships at Hofstra.
"It was a good feeling because I worked very hard prior to the season," Gillespie said. "We got a lot done with the preparation with the kids. I put a lot of time in, and I worked with the youth program, which has paid off."
After Gillespie first returned to coaching at Oceanside High School in 2001 — winning two conferences and, during his second year, knocking off second-ranked Long Beach — he left after three years to focus on coaching his son, P.J., a standout wrestler at both LBHS and Hofstra. The LBHS product earned All-American honors in 2011 and as a senior this past season won a Colonial Athletic Association title at 165 pounds. He closed his college career competing at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis earlier this month.
While at Hofstra, Gillespie met wrestling coaches from Wantagh who were looking for help, and he signed up as an assistant at the high school. Four years later with another county tile under his belt, Gillespie looks to keep winning. "We have a great youth program over at Wantagh now and in a few years we're going to be very, very good," he said.
Similarly, the coach attributes his success in Long Beach to the youth programs he helped establish. The first standout wrestler he coached was Al Palacio, a three-time state champion who attended the University of North Carolina on a full scholarship, where he earned two-time All American honors. Palacio's nephew, .
Today, about ten of Gillespie's former Long Beach wrestlers coach against him at other schools, from Hewlett to Island Trees. He cites one of them, assistant varsity coach in Long Beach John Anfossi, who wrestled for him from 1987 to 1989, as one of his all-time outstandouts.
"He was one of my guys who really took wrestling seriously and he learned a lot about life," said Gillespie, who was a two-time All American at West Chester State University. "I'm very proud of him."
Anfossi attributed Gillespie's success to his commitment to his wrestlers and the sport. "He was a constant in our lives, someone who was an advocate for us, when not all of us had parents who could be advocates for us," said Anfossi, a dean at Long Beach schools.
Anfossi remembered Gillespie would drive his wrestlers to tournaments from New Jersey to Virginia, in the days before school-sponsored bus transportation, and everything was paid out of his pocket. Gillespie had Anfossi and his teammates rise early in the morning to lift weights before classes, and then had them wrestling until 6:30 p.m., and in between he would check up on them in their classrooms.
"He truly looked out for us," Anfossi said, "and his commitment allowed us to give that commitment back to him."

Product Information
The best of the world's sword fighters have known a simple truth for ages... if you want to become a reasonably good sword fighter you should endeavor to learn sword fighting techniques, footwork and the basic stances. However, if you want to be a master at sword fighting you have to eventually start fighting with a "live blade". If your ultimate goal is to wield a razor sharp sword safely and effectively, you need to train with a sword that approximates the size, feel and heft of a live blade, yet minimizes the possibility of causing grievous, permanent, or life-threatening injury to yourself or your training partner. This concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used dull wooden swords to train their Gladiators and soldiers. And Japanese Samurai used a wooden training sword that was called a Bokken. It's an elegant solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still be used today. The only problem is that a wooden sword can rot, crack, chip or splinter and eventually become useless. Cold Steel's solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements. The Cold Steel line of Training Swords are made of heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate a real sword in length, size, weight and feel. While they're not quite as rigid as wood, they have the winning advantages of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and cut resistant.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh raised a few eyebrows Sunday afternoon when he said the Ravens offense was as far along as it could be following the team's 30-9 win over the Houston Texans.
After all, the Ravens had gained only 236 yards of total offense and the $120 million quarterback Joe Flacco had only completed 16 of 24 passes for 171 yards and had a quarterback rating of 87.3. Plus, there was no dominant running game.
But Harbaugh was right. At this point of the season offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell should be commended for milking his talent and getting two wins out of three games.
His job hasn't been easy. He has played nearly three games without two of his best receivers who are injured, Jacoby Jones (knee) and tight end Dennis Pitta (hip), and No. 1 running back Ray Rice missed Sunday's game because of a strained hip flexor.
What did you expect?
"We are going to have some growing pains throughout the first couple of weeks," Flacco said. "I have said all along the biggest thing will be can we win while we have those. So far, the last two weeks we haven't played great, but we've managed to win football games against two pretty good football teams. We have to continue to get better and come out next week flying around."
The Ravens will continue to get better, but there might not be evidence for a few more weeks. They need time for injuries to heal and for players like tight end Dallas Clark and wide receivers Brandon Stokley and Marlon Brown to get fully acclimated with the offense.
Until then, they need to stay with the conservative approach. There is no need to have Flacco throwing the ball 35 to 40 times a game, not with the defense playing so well.
Flacco is getting some criticism because he isn't lighting up the scoreboard and racking up 300-yard games. Some fans expected that after Flacco got a new contract soon after the Ravens Super Bowl victory.
But the Ravens don't have the right resources in place right now. Granted, Flacco hasn't played up to his postseason performance last winter, but the Ravens have only one real legitimate vertical threat, Torrey Smith, who can stretch defenses.
Jones can, but no one knows exactly when he will return. Brown can't because he doesn't have great speed, and neither does Stokley or Clark.
Tight end Ed Dickson can, but he can't catch. The passing game is also limited because Flacco's pass protection has been poor in the first three games. Even though the Texans sacked Flacco only twice, he was hurried or knocked around often.
It just makes so much sense for the Ravens to stay in the conservative mode, and allow Flacco to manage the game, which he did well Sunday regardless of the field position.
The offense will get better. People tend to forget that both the Cleveland Browns and Texans play good defense, and that Stokley and Clark didn't join the Ravens until late in training camp.
Clark had four catches for 46 yards against the Texans and he was targeted seven times.
"They've still only been here a couple of weeks," Flacco said. "They have to get their feet under them to really get confident in our offense. They are two guys who are going to get better and better as the year goes on. Just like our young guys along with our running backs. You know guys like Tandon Doss. All these guys are going to get better and better and better. The fact that we've won a couple of football games in the process is huge."
Clark said: "We're definitely not a great team yet, but we've got the components. We're building, we're working, we have a lot to work on and we have a lot to improve on, but we're coming."
It will get better when Rice returns. Backup Bernard Pierce gave a solid performance Sunday, but he doesn't pose the same threat as Rice out of the backfield.
Jones speed should open up some options. Opposing teams won't be able to rotate to Smith as much because they have to honor Jones' speed. Having two vertical threats on the outside should open up the middle for the tight ends, especially in 2-deep coverage.
One area, though, that still is a concern is the offensive line. Both tackles, Bryant McKinnie and Michael Oher, have struggled with speed rushers and might need help in double teams which would take away from the passing game.
But overall, this offense will get better. Right now, don't get too carried away with the yards per game or the points.
Against the Texans, the Ravens showed a killer instinct with the long drive to open the third quarter and a strong running game in the fourth which took away Houston's heart.
That was impressive. Now, we're just waiting for more to come.

Last Friday and Saturday, the Colonnade Hotel in Boston was the site of CleanMed 2001, a conference on how the careful selection of medical supplies can benefit both human health and the environment. The conference was organized by Health Care Without Harm, an organization founded in 1996 to promote reform of environmental practices in the healthcare industry.
Speakers from Europe and the U.S. discussed five topic areas in environmentally preferable purchasing: mercury elimination; safer products for workers; polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic use; "green" and healthy buildings; and reprocessing of single-use medical devices.
These issues were selected by health care leaders at the October 2000 ``Setting Healthcare's Environmental Agenda'' conference in San Francisco.
``We have two primary goals for this conference,'' said Mark Rossi, conference organizer, of Health Care Without Harm. ``We want to accelerate the international development and use of cleaner, safer and high-quality medical products. We also want to provide a forum for healthcare purchasing staff, vendors and researchers to discuss and evaluate the performance of alternative products.''
CleanMed 2001 was sponsored by the American Nurses Association; BayCare Health System; Boston University School of Public Health, Department of Environmental Health; Brigham & Women's Hospital; Catholic Healthcare West; Catholic Health East; Catholic Health Initiatives; Consorta; Dana Farber Cancer Institute; Foundation for Healthy Communities; H+ The Hospitals of Switzerland; Harvard University School of Public Health, Department of Occupational Medicine; Health Care Without Harm; Kaiser Permanente; International Council of Nurses; International Society of Doctors for the Environment; Massachusetts Hospital Association; Massachusetts Nurses Association; Minnesota Hospital & Healthcare Partnership; Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Department of Community & Preventive Medicine; New England Medical Center; New Hampshire Hospital Association; Physicians for Social Responsibility; Premier, Inc.; Universal Health Services; University of Illinois School of Public Health, Great Lakes Center for Occupational & Environmental Safety & Health; University of Massachusetts-Lowell, Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, Sustainable Hospitals Project; University of Nebraska Medical Center, Green Health Center; University of Tennessee, Center for Clean Products & Clean Technologies; and the University of Wisconsin- Madison, Institute for Environmental Studies.

Franchise business opportunity
Income minimum £700 per week full time. Part time available.
No experience necessary. Full training and ongoing support given.
This is a franchise requiring a total investment of under £2500 for part time or £5,000 full time.
We are a national company with over 80 Franchisees placing boxes of sweets & snacks in the workplace & leisure establishments. A proportion of the profit from the sales from these snacks is donated to charity; this is known as `Cause Related Marketing'. The idea being, people are more willing to buy a product if a percentage of the money (royalties) goes to a good cause. Unlike some others in this field, there is no ceiling on the amount we donate, the more we sell, the more we donate. Currently donating over half of a million pounds each year in the UK & Ireland, more than any other company in this field
Snak Appeal has Franchise opportunities available in several areas of the UK. This would suit either a single person or a couple wishing to build their own successful business with minimum initial outlay and NO FRANCHISE FEE. The area allocated is large enough to create two separate good sized rounds. You will be working in an exclusive area LOCAL TO YOU and supporting LOCAL Children with an achievable income of £700 plus per week (double for a couple).
You will operate in your own local territory exclusive to you. You are supplied with the display boxes and stock at a price which allows you to easily earn the above mentioned income. You build your business by simply placing these boxes of sweets and snacks (with an introduction letter from the charity) in any place where there are either people working or customers visiting. This is not the same as `cold calling selling` as you are offering a free service with no obligation. Placing the boxes is easy, generally people are very receptive because of the charity appeal - you can expect over 60% success rate, all you need is a friendly attitude. After you have placed the boxes, you simply call back every one, two or three weeks to collect the money and replenish the stock. It really is that easy.
All you need to start being your own boss is:DSCF0692.JPG
· Computer with printer
· Reliable medium sized car.
· Spare room or garage.
· The initial investment as stated.
· Internet banking facilities.
We must emphasise, no commitment is made on your part until you are fully confident and 100% assured of the income you will receive and satisfied with everything that is involved in operating your own business under the guidance of Snak Appeal. You will have `hands on` experience of what is involved by spending the day with us servicing existing customers before any commitment by either party is made. We give continuous ongoing support to all our Franchisees.
Although full, on-the-job, training is given, the work is not hard, needs no experience and the hours are very flexible, easily fitting around school times if need be. The money you earn will be proportionate to the effort you put in. A typical day would start at 9am and finish by 3pm to achieve an income of around £700 pw (proof will be given) or double for a couple operating two rounds within your own exclusive territory. If you put more time in, you will achieve a higher income.
This is a great opportunity for someone to join us and earn a very good income whilst raising money for LOCAL children and providing a service to customers in their work place. You will find this the easiest way of earning in excess of £700 per week you ever imagined and for this reason we do not need to `hard sell` this. We have a certain criteria for the people we choose for this opportunity. You must be willing to operate your round full time, be reasonably confident and most importantly be a friendly person with a pleasant demeanour.
One of the major advantages that Snak Appeal offers to prospective Franchisees is the local appeal of the charity. Where other companies operating similar Cause Related Marketing business ventures support national charities, we at Snak Appeal have arrangements with charities that support the LOCAL children in your area. The `local` appeal from people buying your sweets cannot be over estimated. It is amazing how much easier it is in placing your initial boxes when people know it is supporting children from THEIR local area.
Provided you are suitable, we will offer you the chance tojoin us for NO FRANCHISE FEE. You will also be given a free Start up package. All you pay for is your stock and display boxes.
There are no License fees or ongoing fees of any kind apart from your stock and occasional replacement of your display boxes. There are absolutely no hidden costs.
You pay for your stock and display boxes ONLY.
The initial stock provided is enough to build up your round of around 300 sites and establish your business.
No further outlay will be required. Your business will be completely financed from your profits after the initial outlay for stock and display boxes.
Other companies offering exactly the same expect you to pay between £10,000 and £25,000 for a Franchise fee, initial stock and display boxes (please check this out for yourself). We are more interested in attracting the right type of person for long term rather than making a quick profit from an initial Franchise fee.
Unlike other companies in this field, we do not rely on a large initial Franchise fee to make a profit. Our profit comes from your continuous ordering of stock from us and not from a large initial fee or any renewal fees as some others charge. If you are not successful, neither are we. Basically our profit comes from your success and not from taking your money before you have had a chance to make any. We only make money if you do, which is why we have to help you in every way possible and not just make promises.
Please check out the other companies in this field and see what you get for your £10,000 - £25,000, then come back and chat to us. Our website is [contact details removed]
There are a few other companies offeringa very similar Franchise opportunity. Why are we different?
1.No Franchise fee or any other fees whatsoever.
2.The charity. All charities are very worthwhile supporting but you are looking into this venture as a business to earn a good living as well as being ethical in how you earn your money. The charity branding on your display box is absolutely vital in placing your boxes with customers. The more supportive people are of the charity, the more chance you have of placing your boxes. Few would disagree that supporting LOCAL children tugs at more heart strings than any other type of charity. It is not only the fact of it being children that has the appeal, it is the LOCAL aspect of it. Because of this, you will find it much easier in placing boxes than any of the other Franchisees representing other charities.
3.Product. We boast that our products are better than all others in this field. We know they are better and proof it to prospective Franchisees. Our Chocolate Raisins, Nuts and Chocolate Popcorn are real milk chocolate. Look closely at the ingredients of the other companies, some have chocolate flavoured sweets. Our other sweets are also of high quality with branded names. We also have far more sweets with over 40 varieties to choose from.
Packaging. Packaging is vital in selling. Our packaging has been designed to attract & sell. It works.

How life changes when baby arrives
Sure, Krista Reasoner knew life would change when her son, Noah, was born. She had watched family and friends and co-workers have kids, and they had always seemed to adjust — eventually.
But in the two years since Noah's birth, life for the 31-year-old global marketing manager for Seattle-based GE Healthcare has just gotten harder, not easier. "It's really been an ongoing struggle to balance my work and my life properly," she says. "My husband and I have had to make some major decisions based on where we work and what we do and where we want to go, professionally and personally."
Reasoner and other meetings industry executives are far from alone in their struggle to stay sane while balancing work and family. According to Catalyst, a New York-based research and advisory organization on women's issues, the average working mother reports only 54 minutes of personal time a day. While personal time has been decreasing, work hours have been increasing, with the average dual-income couple reporting a combined 91 hours of work a week. It doesn't take a mathematician to figure out that working mothers are caught between trying to build or maintain a career and to do right by their families (let alone spend a little time with their spouses or by themselves).
In the meetings industry, where women dominate (76 percent of Meeting Professionals International's members are women) and travel and long hours are part of the job, the challenges are even tougher. No one knows that more than pharmaceutical meetings industry expert Christine Duffy. "It's a constant juggle," says Duffy, president and CEO of Maritz Travel Co. and a mother of two, "and everything needs to be prioritized. Sometimes it's more difficult for women, who are so involved in details, to let go and realize we can't control everything."
Day-Care Dilemmas
Take day care. The first year, Reasoners' son was in a day-care center that was midway between Krista's office in downtown Seattle and her home, which was about an hour outside of the city. "It seemed to make sense at the time," she says, "but we discovered that we were actually creating more stress in our lives. We needed to leave work by a certain time to be able to pick him up, so our work days were shortened, and it felt like everything was always out of balance." With a position that entails planning four to eight meetings a year, from small customer advisory board meetings to larger conferences, it wasn't always easy for her to cut the day short.
About a year ago, the couple decided to move their son to a day-care center in Reasoner's office building. "It gives me more time with him while we're in the car and more time at my job," she says. But that change meant a huge trade-off — it costs almost twice as much as her previous day care.
The Reasoners recently made another major financial decision and decided to move closer to Seattle. "We were spending two to two and a half hours traveling back and forth," she says. "Now it's about 15 minutes each way."
In between all the changes, Reasoner was promoted when IDX Systems was purchased by GE Healthcare and went through a reorganization in January 2006. "At least now, as a manager, I have a little more flexibility to work at home if my child is ill, for example," she says. "And I make my own decisions about which travel is necessary and which isn't." But she still travels an average of once a month, and one of her meetings requires her to be away from home for 10 days.
"If I didn't plan meetings as part of my job, I suppose it would make life easier on my husband and family," she says. "Nathan travels much more than I do, so he has to factor in my travel schedule with his own, which can be very challenging, especially when our commitments overlap."
Through Noah, Krista and Nathan have learned that there are countless situations that they cannot influence or prepare for. "I don't think people without children can really understand that there are some things you just can't control. When you have a baby, it might take three hours to get out of the house in the morning — he might throw up or have a tantrum, and you just have to deal with those things. But I can control how I make up the work and make sure everything gets done."
Lopsided Workload
A big part of the picture is how much partners are willing to share in the everyday work of running the household and caring for the children. While most of the planners we spoke with said their husbands actively share parenting duties, many admitted that when it comes to managing the household, their husbands help with things, rather than fully share the workload. "The balance is 80/20," says one planner who didn't want her name attached to that observation. "Outside is his responsibility, and inside is mine. But outside is once a week, and inside is, well, all the time."
Reasoner says Nathan is "fabulous with sharing child care," but agrees that "things are a little lopsided at home. He does most of the cooking, but I find that I do more of the cleaning and general taking care of the household."
That's not unusual — but most women believe that things are getting better. "On the positive side, if you compare it to 20 years ago, I think men are much more willing to take care of children and help run the household," says Duffy, whose own husband has been a stay-at-home dad for several years now.
For 54-year-old Cris Canning, CMP, who entered this industry as a single mom 20 years ago planning primarily local corporate events such as company picnics, it was another story altogether: Her children were her right hand. "They were small at the time and thought it was great fun at first to go with me on my weekend rounds to check on client events. I just asked them to blend in and never call me mommy in front of the client. The novelty wore off after a few summers," she jokes. The benefit, she says, is that she didn't have to travel.
As her kids got older, she even put them to work on events. "My daughter could tap a keg by age 15," she says. She is now 31 and a lawyer. "My son can honestly say (and does) that at 28, he has 20 years of industry experience."
She never considered leaving the meetings industry, even when things got tough. Instead, Canning started Hospitality Ink, a public relations and marketing communications consultancy specializing in the hospitality industry, based in San Diego. She is also an online teacher of entertainment and event marketing for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and is writing a book on marketing meetings and events.
Blurred Boundaries
Whether working for themselves like Canning or going into an office each day like Reasoner, most women agree they have trouble drawing the line between their work and family lives.
"Corporations do things like give you laptops with the underlying thought being that you can work anytime or anyplace," says Reasoner. "I take my laptop home with me every night. You never know what the next day will bring — if your child will be sick or if something will come up. But I try not to work nights or weekends unless I'm in one of my crunch times. You have to set some boundaries, or you'll just be working all the time."
She also doesn't work after 6 p.m. "unless it's absolutely imperative." To help with that, she says she rarely takes lunch. Still, she and her husband have an agreement that "if we really have to work at home, we do. Right before an event, it's not unusual for me to work at home in the evening or in the early morning."
For those who work at home, one of the hardest things is staying away from the work piling up on their desks. "Sometimes I get lost in my work, and my husband will come in and remind me that enough is enough," Kim Hester says. In her position as director of sales-meetings and incentives, for La Jolla, Calif.-based Travel Dynamics Group Inc., which handles a number of pharmaceutical and biotech clients, Hester manages 50 meetings and incentives a year and is on the road about a quarter of the time. She typically works three days in the office and two days from home. When she is home, knowing that the afternoon is her slump time, Hester often takes a break to spend some time with the kids — a 15-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son — when they come home from school.
The trade-offs? "I decided a long time ago that I wanted it all — the family and the career," Hester says. "So what did I give up? Sleep. "I'm a night owl, so I often work till 3 or 4 in the morning," she continues. "I can send my e-mails then and talk to Europe and Asia live for international programs."
A recurring theme with working mothers is the acceptance that something just has to give. For many, the first thing they let go of is keeping a perfectly maintained home. For others it's sleep or a social life. "It's always a push and a pull," concludes Reasoner. "It's not always 50/50. Sometimes it's 70 percent work and 30 percent family; then it flips around and might be 30 percent work and 70 percent family. It won't always be perfect, and every day is different."
But like her peers, she wouldn't trade her position. "I'm doing something every day that I love to do," she says. "I like building an event from the beginning to the end; I like the ability to be creative, to wear different hats and to have something different to do each day. And I have a husband and family who support my aspirations — even if it's a little more challenging for the family."
Focus on Flexibility
Options are opening up for working mothers as companies offer choices such as flexible hours, job sharing, telecommuting, and part-time work, and as they adopt sick-leave policies to recognize parents' needs.
For example, Abbott Labs has a formal policy that allows employees to take sick days to care for an ill child. For employees with older children, the company holds a Summer Camp Fair and a "'tweens" program called "Summer of Service."
Site selection firm HelmsBriscoe has an online Moms Group, "where we can discuss how to make a home office effective or how to balance our work and families or different career strategies," says Tara Bass, regional manager at HelmsBriscoe, based in Omaha, Neb. "The company has seen a need for all of us to connect."
Christine Duffy, president and CEO of Maritz Travel Co., and mother of two, emphasizes that such benefits aren't just a matter of accommodation. "The more flexibility companies can provide, the more we can retain the talent that we're trying to draw to the meetings industry. It's not just in this industry that companies are investing money and getting creative trying to keep women who get to a certain level and are torn between balancing their family life and careers. But it's even more demanding in fields such as ours with demands for travel."

Hello all-
I'm building an open source 3D networked game framework (who isn't?).
As part of that, I'd like to include 3D audio support. I've seen irrKlang and FMOD, but this game framework is free and open source. So I need an audio library that is free (BSD or MIT licenses) or at least GPL'd.
I found audiere, which looked okay: http://audiere.sourceforge.net/documentation.php
However, it looks like the last update was in 2006 (!) and I noticed I had to tweak the source to get it to compile under newer GCC compilers.
Is audiere still used/supported? Are there other open source (free) audio libraries that people recommend? I could add my own 3D layer if needed, but obviously I'd need basic support for multiple sound streams, with per-stream control over volume and panning.

Seeking efficiency and economies of scale, the world's container carriers are increasingly ordering mega-ships capable of handling more than 8,000 20-foot-equivalent container units, especially on the Asia-Europe trade lane. Shippers and carriers looking to reach the North American east coast with these post-Panamax ships must transit the Suez Canal because, as their name implies, they are too big to sail through the Panama Canal. But with Panama's decade-long canal expansion project set for completion in 2015, the giant vessels will be able to add the Panama Canal to their route options. Ports around the world are preparing for the onslaught of these mega-ships, dredging harbors and investing in super-post-Panamax cranes that can reach across 22 or more rows of containers to expedite loading and unloading operations.
News & Analysis
In my 42-plus years in the industry, I've seen many variations of what we now call alliances — joint services, slot-charter arrangements, vessel-sharing agreements, alliances and now mega-alliances — and more no doubt will follow.

BRCTbreast cancer carboxy-terminal domain
|SMART accession number:
|Interpro abstract (IPR001357):
The BRCT domain (after the C_terminal domain of a breast cancer susceptibility protein) is found predominantly in proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoint functions responsive to DNA damage [(PUBMED:9034168)], for example as found in the breast cancer DNA-repair protein BRCA1. The domain is an approximately 100 amino acid tandem repeat, which appears to act as a phospho-protein binding domain [(PUBMED:14576433)].

- Display abstract
Inherited mutations in the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 are associated with high risk for developing breast and ovarian cancers. Several studies link BRCA1 to transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, apoptosis and growth/tumor suppression. BRCA1 associates with p53 and stimulates transcription in both p53 dependent and p53-independent manners. BRCA1 splice variants BRCA1a (p110) and BRCA1b (p100) associates with CBP/p300 co-activators. Here we show that BRCA1a and BRCA1b proteins stimulate p53-dependent transcription from the p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter. In addition, the C-terminal second BRCA1 (BRCT) domain is sufficient for p53 mediated transactivation of the p21 promoter. Previous studies emphasized the importance of the BRCT domain, which shows homology with p53 binding protein (53BP1), in transcriptional activation, growth inhibition and tumor suppression. Our findings demonstrate an additional function for this domain in protein-protein interaction and co-activation of p53. We also found that BRCA1a and BRCA1b proteins interact with p53 in vitro and in vivo. The p53 interaction domain of BRCA1a/1b maps, in vitro, to the second BRCT domain (aa 1760-1863). The BRCT domain binds to the central domain of p53 which is required for sequence specific DNA binding. These results demonstrate for the first time the presence of a second p53 interaction domain in BRCA1 proteins and suggests that BRCA1a and BRCA1b proteins, like BRCA1, function as p53 co-activators. This BRCT domain also binds in vitro to CBP. These results suggest that one of the mechanisms by which BRCA1 proteins function is through recruitment of CBP/p300 associated HAT/FAT activity for acetylation of p53 to specific promoters resulting in transcriptional activation.

The cylindrical stems of the strawberry cactus are 330 inches long and 1 1/24 inches in diameter. They grow in loose clusters of a few to as many as 100. New stems grow as side branches, near the ground, so their first growth tends to be lateral, later turning upward, giving them a long, curling appearance. There are 710 ribs on each stem. The plant is bright green with a wrinkled appearance, looking withered in dry periods. The stems are often yellow-green in sunny locations. The tubercles are about 1/8 inch in diameter and 1/41 1/2 inches apart on mature stems. This cactus has fewer spines and shows more plant surface than most cacti. The purplish-red flowers are 23 inches long and about the same in diameter. They have 1020 outer petals with pinkish, crinkled edges. The inner petals, 1235, are in 13 rows. Anthers on the stamens are yellow, and the pistil has 812 lobes like most other Echinocereus. The fruit is about 1 inch long, almost round, greenish to brown or purple.

Madonna, Bruce Springsteen Rule "Billboard" Magazine's 2012 "Top Money Makers" List
Which musicians hauled in the most cold hard cash last year? According to Billboard, it was the Queen of Pop and The Boss.
Billboard added up the annual earnings of music's top names -- including tour revenue, digital music sales, streaming and subscription revenue -- and found that artists normally earn the most money from playing live. That's why Madonna tops the magazine's list -- she had the year's most successful tour. Bruce Springsteen, who also had an extremely successful year on the road, came in second.
Madonna earned $34,577,308.62 during 2012, according to Billboard, and more than 93 percent of that came just from her MDNA world tour. Springsteen, meanwhile, brought in $33,443,606.64, of which 92 percent came from his Wrecking Ball world tour.
Right behind Bruce was Roger Waters at #3; the ex-Pink Floyd star raked in $21,160,131.06, with more than 93 percent of his revenue coming from his recent The Wall Live Tour. Van Halen took the #4 slot on the tally after ringing up $20,184,709.91, with about 84 percent of the cash coming from their tour in support of A Different Kind of Truth, the group's first studio effort featuring original frontman David Lee Roth since 1984.
Veteran artists finishing further down on the list included Barbra Streisand (#20, $10,611,419.16), Neil Diamond (#21, $10,498,985.38), The Rolling Stones (#26, $9,276,084.10), Elton John (#29, $8,575,518.13), Journey (#35, $6,983,106.58) and Rod Stewart (#38, $6,459,568.26).

The following men were charged Friday with engaging a prostitute:
Peter B. Chavonelle Jr., 47, of 19 Swan Road, Windham, ME
Derek M. Chapman, 32, of 461 Cumberland Avenue, #7, Portland, ME
Jeffrey A. Rogers, 38, of 10 Carriage Way, Scarborough, ME
Craig S. Patterson, 53, of 119 Wythburn Road, South Portland, ME
Stanley H. Cornwall Jr., 50, of 11 Parker Farm Road, Buxton, ME
Robert W. Hazleton Jr., 68, of 20086 Palermo Lake Court, Estero, FL
Jason A. Douin, 38, of 31 Sunrise Street, Augusta, ME
Wendall Wayne Fessenden, 62, of 5 Proctor Avenue, Kennebunkport, ME
Brian R. Bedard, 38, of 201 River Road, Biddeford, ME
Michael A. McInnis, 53, of 15 Vines Road, Saco, ME
James Andrew Ferriera, 49, of 165 Sandy Hill Road, South Portland, ME
Jeffrey R. Beaupre, 46, of 22 Homestead Drive, Lyman, ME
Thomas F. Powers, 56, of 708 River Road, Edgecomb, ME
William Lee Kerr, 53, of 152 Lone Indian Trail, Augusta, ME
Jeffrey L. Comeau, 35, of 77 Cemetery Road, Berwick, ME
The latest list brings the total number of men charged with engaging a prostitute to 54.
Police have said they intend to release additional names as more court summonses are served. A total of about 150 names were found on Wright's list of clients, according to police, prosecutors and others familiar with the case.
The principal figures in the case are Wright, a former Zumba instructor from Wells, and Mark Strong Sr., a businessman from Thomaston who investigators say was Wright's business partner.
Wright was indicted by a York County grand jury last month on 106 counts, including promotion of prostitution, engaging in prostitution, invasion of privacy, conspiracy, tax offenses and receiving welfare benefits when ineligible.
Strong was indicted on 59 misdemeanor counts, including promotion of prostitution, violation of privacy and conspiracy.
As the third list of alleged "johns" was released Friday, a television weatherman went public to say that his name won't be on any upcoming list.
Joe Cupo, the longtime weather forecaster for WCSH-TV in Portland, said he wanted to rebut rumors that have upset his family.
He said some customers at his wife's shop in Freeport told her they had heard that her husband would be accused of being one of Wright's customers.
He said he went to the station's news director and told her, "I'd like to set the record straight."
He recorded an interview with Cindy Williams, one of the anchors of the 6 p.m. newscast, in which he told viewers that the rumors hurt more than just the person they target.
"I'm not on the list and it's sad that these rumors have been flying all over the place," Cupo told the Portland Press Herald. "I did this (interview) more for my wife than for myself."
He said he doesn't know why people would think he is on the list of Wright's alleged customers.
"My wife looks at me every night and says, 'How can people say this about you?'" he said.
Friday's list doesn't appear to include any prominent figures.
James Andrew Ferriera, 49, of South Portland was an official with the South Portland Church of the Nazarene on Highland Avenue, said the district superintendent for Maine Nazarene churches.
Cecil Jones said Ferriera resigned from "a part-time staff" position at the church earlier this week. Jones said church officials knew that Ferriera's name would appear on Friday's list, but he declined to say if it was Ferriera who informed them.
He also declined to say whether that was the reason for Ferriera's resignation. "He resigned and it was accepted," Jones said.
The South Portland Fire Department said one of its firefighters, Jeffrey A. Rogers, also is on the list.
A release issued by the department said it doesn't condone Rogers' alleged actions and he might be subject to discipline.
Among those on the first two lists, released Oct. 16 and Oct. 26, were James A. Soule, a former mayor of South Portland, and Joseph Lewis, a former chairman of the Portland Planning Board.
