Message: Hi Steve,
My entire system is outfitted with Tenderfeet and Iso-Cups under all my components.
4 Brass Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders arrived today and went under the rack, they're beautiful!
The sound is dead quiet and musically involving in all parameters.
Thanks so much for your time and great service.
Name: Rob Burns
Message: I am probably the most skeptical person on this, and possibly any other planet. However, my new EL84 power tube was getting beaten to death in my Epiphone Valve Junior, and the tube rattle was unacceptable. Not sure what else to do, I decided to take a chance on the Guitar Amp UltraSonic 9. What could I lose with the satisfaction guarantee? After a week of use, I am amazed thus far with the results. I no longer detect any tube rattle, and between the new JJ's power tube and the UltraSonic 9, the amp sounds much cleaner and more articulate. Very pleased.
Name: Adam Moon
Message: Tenderfeet are an amazing product. Instantly my soundstage cleared up and there was better definition in all aspects. What I thought was a quiet system setup got even quieter with the addition of FAT dots to the speakers. You gave me back the enjoyment of my records again!
Name: Walter O.
Message: Steve, thank you. I have a McIntosh MDA-1000 DAC and removed the original feet and put the "Big Tall Tenderfoot" (from a previous order) under it. The difference is quite remarkable and unmistakable. There is a clarity and detail in the system now that I hadn't imagined. So I'm very impressed.
Name: Winston Smith
Message: Hi Steve-
I have some Spectron Musician III Ref 2 amplifiers that weigh 50 lbs each. Right now, I am fighting some upper midrange/lower treble aggression and congestion, which leads to a mild-to-moderate harshness and sibilance in this range, depending on the recording.
I am looking for footers to replace the stock footers and was wondering what you would suggest to use to address the harshness/sibilance, or simply to avoid adding to that problem, while clearing up the sound and providing improved clarity, detail, musicality and three dimensionality?
Webmaster's reply: Four Extra-Firm Tenderfoot isolation feet under each monoblock will isolate the amps superbly, bringing out more of their true inherent potential. Tenderfoot isolation feet have potential to improve or remedy each of the problems you've been fighting with.
Your audio system and all sonic qualities are not controlled solely by the amplifier, but is the sum total of all its parts, the vibrational environment, acoustic factors, and source electricity working together in synchrony. Addressing the amplifiers alone may or may not remedy the problems you've mentioned. You might need to isolate/decouple the speakers, isolate source components and preamp. Perhaps a mis-matched cable or interconnect is a culprit. Start with four Tenderfoot isolation feet under each amp, adjust the positioning and orientation of the footers for optimal result, and go from there. Might just be all you need to achieve a satisfactory level of listening pleasure.

Message: I received my Super Black Hole CD Mat yesterday, and I approached the evaluation basically the same way I approached the evaluation of SS-9 12AX7 dampers - expecting an incremental but not overwhelming improvement. I was wrong AGAIN ! This little donut is magic.On my CAL Delta transport it works miracles. I wont go into detail, but there is a stunning "naturalness" that was not ther ebefore. Each instrument has a life of its own now and have that live, you are there immediacy and detail. Halfway through my first test CD, I just went into right brain mode and fell into the music. No need to ask myself if it was better or just different. My music is so much more tuneful, melodic, whatever you want to use to describe it. I have spent maybe $60 on these products and EASILY gotten hundreds wort h of improvememnt. It;'s like getting new components every time. Miracles do happen and they cost about $30 each !!

Message: Hi Herbie,
Received my SS-9 12AX7 dampers yesterday. I promptly installed them on my Golden Dragons in my CAL Alpha DAC expecting an incremental improvement-boy was I wrong ! The change is nothing short of stunning. My jaw dropped. I have never heard such detail (in this system at least) and air, such precise location, the bass tightened up dramatically. I have a small room with Martin Logan Source speakers, but the depth and width of the sound stage are amazing. On several recordings I can literally "hear" the space between a capella voices, or the individual instruments in a string pizzicato. These little things are nothing short of a revelation. THANK YOU !!

(2001) Monocyte differentiation in intestine-like macrophage phenotype induced by epithelial cells. Journal of leukocyte biology 70 (2), pp. 241-51.
Full text not available from this repository.
Macrophages in normal colonic mucosa show a specific and distinct phenotype with low expression of the typical monocyte/macrophage surface antigens CD14, CD16, and CD11b and T-cell costimulatory molecules. A method for the in vitro induction of a macrophage phenotype similar to this intestinal phenotype is presented. Multicellular spheroids (MCSs) of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) and control cell lines were cocultured with elutriated monocytes. Surface antigen expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. Interleukin (IL)-1beta mRNA was measured by quantitative PCR. Monocytes adhered and infiltrated the MCSs within 24 h. In the MCSs of all IEC lines, the typical monocyte/macrophage surface antigens CD14, CD16, CD11b, and CD11c, which are detectable after 24 h of coculture by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, were down-regulated after 7 days (e.g., for CD14 at 24 h, expression was 86% of CD33+ cells; at day 7, it was 11%). A clear decrease of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated IL-1beta transcription in monocytes cocultured with IEC MCSs could be observed during the 7-day period. For the first time an intestine-like macrophage-phenotype could be induced in vitro. Interactions with IECs play an essential role during this differentiation, which is of functional relevance, e.g., for LPS-induced cytokine secretion.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Beautiful, but make sure you think of everything!
Living Dream Foldover Pockets This invitation was printed beautifully and worked out perfect in the end, but when we first ordered it we assumed the invite would stay closed on it's own, or tuck in to itself somehow to close, and we didn't order anything to wrap around or stick on it to keep the invitation closed. We ended up needing to buy ribbon and tie each invitation to keep everything in. The pockets were also a little bit loose when we first folded them and none of the cards would stay inside the pocket, so we had to stack heavy books on top of them to flatten them out before putting them all together to make sure they would hold all the enclosure cards more tightly in the pocket. Lastly, with just two cards (the RSVP and the guest information step cards) inside this invitation it required us to use the 65 cent stamp instead of a regular stamp to mail these, so they ended up costing a little more than we thought! In the end, they turned out perfect but just be sure to think of all the details!!!
Great design and colors are very true to what they appear online!
Living Dream Foldover Pockets Love the invite, great value. I got the vellum band to keep it together so it works great to keep it all together. definitely needs something to keep it sealed.
amazing magnets
Living Dream Save the Date Magnets I am extremely excited and happy with the outcome of my save the date magnets. I would definitely recommend this product not only because it was amazing but the shipping was super fast, only took 2 days to get to me after it was shipped. other than the magnets I loved the packaging that it was sent in. magnet Street definitely shows that they care about the produc they ship and the customer as well.
Beatiful Invites
Living Dream Foldover Pockets We loved these, they look and feel very nice, we added some pictures and it looked even better. you do need something to hold them from opening up tho, we added a ribbon bow. We did have a hard time dealing with their design team. It seemed like they did not understand english, I gave them simple instructions and they could not follow, I had to reject the design like 4 times before they got it right. So if you run in the same situation don't be afraid to reject the design and tell them once again what you want until they get it right. Its their job.
Living Dream Save the Date Cards I never ordered from magnet street before but found the website online and loved their designs! I was worried to order because none of my friends or family used this site so I never saw the final product! But I was VERY surprised and fell in love with this site! I ordered 150 of the save the dates and they came in within 4 days in teal box for great storage! They also sent me a book of example of the types of product they produced. Also my save the dates were beyond amazing! They looked exactly the way I made the on line! The quality was beyond what I expected the colors were exactly what I wanted and the pictures were clear and perfect! As soon as I opened the box I was online looking at what else I could order!!

Margaret Wright
Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies
I never expected to have an opportunity to view churches. My original plan included many more than I actually did visit. Life became involved and I did not accomplish all that I had to do. Instead, I rerouted my course and planned around my academics. I saw unique buildings that I would never have been able to see if not for the donation.
My main goal was to see York Minster. It has over eighty percent of the original medieval glass. I went to York itself for five days and spent two of them just looking at the windows. I went on two tours, one lasting more than two very long hours, but I learned many different facts. The church glass is currently being restored, so for the first time in history, people can see how much detail that is in the smaller frames of glass. It was simply magnificent.
My journey also took me to Salisbury and Bath. Abbeys and a certain minster became the theme of the process. The most impressive view would have to be St. Giles in Edinburgh, Scotland. The churches offered a view into how history, and culture, evolved. Salisbury Cathedral had bare walls, and little medieval glass, compared to York Minster. The impressive histories that these churches endured left me speechless.
I found smaller churches along the way. One day that I was in York, I found a small church that used to be a Cistercian church. It was not as grand as the Minster, but the intimate feel gave it a warmer welcome. These small victories are what mad the project the best that it could have possibly been, due to the drawbacks.
One major drawback was time constriction. When I wrote my original proposal, I thought I would be able to travel every weekend and manage my schoolwork and personal time. Little did I know that the schoolwork would take up more time than I had anticipated, specifically the month before my internship because it was the final academic month. So, I weighed my priorities and rescheduled them.
The other fact that bothered me sometimes was the fact that I traveled on my own. It was a giant leap out of my comfort zone. I do not regret it, but looking back I wished that I did have the time to get my own traveling companion to go with me. however, despite all the hang-ups that occurred, it was a great adventure.

Dog gets special attention at veterinarian'sAny veterinarian worth his degree is going to provide every pet who comes through the door with the best care possible. We veterinarians love animals, and we are highly trained and highly skilled medical professionals, proud of the work we do.
But I'm going to let you in on a secret: Some pet owners are treated a little better than others. Why? Because veterinarians are human, of course, and we can't help but appreciate people who appreciate us. There are owners who make us smile when they call in or when we see their names on the appointment log. We can't wait to see them, and we can't wait to help their pets. The entire staff feels the same way about these folks for the same reason we veterinarians do.
Related: 7 Things Pet Owners Do That Drive Veterinarian's Crazy
Certain pet owners get the red carpet treatment. Here's how you can improve your ranking as a veterinary VIP.
1. Arrive a tiny bit early for your appointments.
2. Treat the staff with respect, warmth, and good humor.
3. Have a full history of your pet's medical problem - the more detailed the better (i.e., vomited three times yesterday; it was slimy, yellow, and contains bits of cardboard packaging).
4. Train your pet to welcome, not fear, a veterinary visit, and handle your pet early and often so that he will permit his veterinarian to easily examine him.'
5. Pay your bills on time.
6. If we exceed your expectations, recommend us to others with enthusiasm and frequency.
7. On occasion, for any or no reason, bring us a plate of brownies or cookies to feed our tired crew. Even more "brownie points": do it sometime other than the holidays, when the break room is already filled with treats.
That last one is a true sign of a pet lover who deserves red carpet treatment. I can't tell you how often we get so busy because of emergencies or appointments that take longer than scheduled that we don't find time to eat. A cookie in the middle of a long afternoon on an even longer day? We love you. We really, really love you.
Related: When Veterinarian's Will Offer Free Care
It's really just about feeling appreciated. And when we feel valued, it's easy for us to return that goodwill, which is why our most favorite pet owners get:
- People who fight to take their calls and veterinarians who fight to win their pets as patients.
- A veterinary team who lights up when they walk through the door.
- A spot on an overbooked schedule or a place to board their pets on a holiday even though we've been booked up for months.
- Extra care for their pets and even a call or email with breaking information that could affect their pets' health.
- Extra time in the exam room, even at the end of a very long day.
- And, perhaps most importantly, an invitation to call us 24/7/365 for help when they need it - and we'll either pick up the phone to talk, race to the practice to meet them, or refer them to someone else and ask that they get extra special care.
Now don't you want to be a veterinary VIP? I hope so, because I can never have too many pet owners who make me smile at the thought of them.

Mr. Grable is the CEO and director of Research and Development, Dr. Gkanatsios is Medical Physicist, and Dr. Ponder is the Advanced Development Manager with Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc., Plantation, FL.
The field of biomedical optics, the use of light in medicine, has seen rapid growth over the last decade. The development of non-invasive medical optical imaging (MOI) modalities using harmless near infrared (NIR) light is a major goal of biomedical optics research. Arguably, the most interesting application of MOI is breast imaging, with the potential to provide a safer, and possibly more effective, alternative to traditional x-ray mammography.
In 1929, Max Cutler reported the ability to differentiate between normal and pathological breast tissue by eye using an electric lamp to transilluminate the breast in a darkened room. 1 Over the years, researchers improved upon this technique, known as diaphanography, by using more sensitive optical detectors and NIR light sources that have greater transmission through the breast. Typically, diaphanography images showed certain cancerous tumors as dark regions, thought to be caused by greater attenuation of NIR light by blood in the tumor-associated hypervascularisation. However, the highly scattering optical properties of breast tissues severely blurred the transmission images obtained with diaphanography. The limited spatial resolution, around 2 cm or worse, contributed to low sensitivity and specificity results during clinical trials of diaphanography in the 1980s preventing its acceptance as a clinically viable modality. 2
Technological advances in recent years, specifically pulsed lasers and ultra-fast detectors, have revived interest in MOI. The ability to illuminate the breast with picosecond pulses of NIR laser light and measure the temporal distribution of transmitted photons, known as the temporal point spread function (TPSF), enables investigation of time-resolved approaches to MOI. In contrast, diaphanography used a continuous wave (CW) light source and all the transmitted photons through the breast. Phantom studies have indicated that measuring the TPSF and using only the photons arriving earliest at a detector (a technique known as time-gating) can improve the image spatial resolution to about 1 cm. However, the poor signal-to-noise ratio obtained by measuring only the earliest photons ultimately limits the benefits of time-gating. Nevertheless, phantom studies have demonstrated that by fitting an analytic model based on diffusion theory to the TPSF and using the model's predictions for early photons the image spatial resolution of transmission images could be improved to about 5 mm. 3
An alternative to transmission images of the breast is to acquire optical images in a similar fashion to x-ray computed tomography (CT). Generally, this approach uses a modified back-projection algorithm that is analogous to x-ray CT, but incorporates the physics of NIR diffusion in the breast. 4 Back-projected slices yield the spatial variation in attenuation of the NIR light within the breast. A more sophisticated approach to reconstruct slice images uses a complex iterative inversion technique to predict TPSFs, or some characteristic of them, via a finite-element forward model based on diffusion theory. 5 This approach is theoretically more sound and enables the attenuation of NIR light to be de-coupled into an absorption image and a scattering image of the breast. It is anticipated this extra information will significantly help diagnosis.
Several universities and a growing number of companies are actively pursuing medical optical imaging with time-resolved methods. Some have chosen to pursue similar ideas in the frequency domain, which greatly reduces the complexity and expense of the imaging device. 6 At present, however, the frequency domain systems acquire less information content than time-resolved systems
Computer Tomography Laser Mammography
Since 1994, Imaging Diagnostic Systems Inc. (IDSI, Plantation, FL) has been developing a computed tomography laser mammography (CTLM ™ ) system to serve as an adjunctive modality to x-ray mammography. The CTLM system operates as a tomographic scanner to generate slice images of the breast using non-ionizing NIR light and without applying any breast compression. The patient lies in a prone position with one breast pendent within the scanning chamber (figure 1). A bank of NIR-sensitive detectors, mounted around a horizontally rotating gantry, nearly encircles the breast without touching it. The breast is illuminated in the same horizontal plane mid-way between the first and last detectors by a pencil beam of NIR light from a laser source on the gantry (figure 2). A complete rotation of the gantry moves the pencil beam and bank of detectors around the breast. During rotation, the detectors measure the light transmitted through the breast from the pencil beam. Simultaneously, CCD cameras on the gantry view the pencil beam on the breast surface in order to measure the boundary shape of the breast. Once rotation is completed, the gantry can be moved vertically to another horizontal plane (slice) of the breast. During a typical scan, the CTLM system starts at the chest wall and acquires successive slices as the gantry is lowered down the breast. The acquired data is fed to an image reconstruction algorithm.
As mentioned previously, there are two main approaches to reconstructing slice images of the breast from optical CT data. Both a modified back-projection algorithm and an iterative inversion algorithm are being evaluated at IDSI. The reconstructed slice images can be displayed either volumetrically or as a series of coronal, sagittal, and axial profiles.
Throughout its continuing development, the CTLM system has existed as a variety of prototypes which all generally conform to the description outlined above. Both CW and time-resolved CTLM systems are in development; currently, the CW CTLM system is being evaluated in a clinical environment.
Preliminary Results
Phantoms with optical properties similar to breast tissue have been manufactured to help the development of the CTLM system. One of these phantoms is a breast-shaped epoxy-based shell with breast optical properties. The shell can be filled with a breast-like scattering solution and inclusions can be added to simulate tumors. For one experiment, the shell was filled with breast-like scattering solution and a small cylindrical inclusion (1 cm diameter, 1 cm height) was suspended inside it. The inclusion had the same transport scattering coefficient as the surrounding medium and 10 times greater absorption coefficient. The phantom was scanned using the CW CTLM system and slices were reconstructed with the modified back-projection algorithm. Figure 3 shows a volumetric image of the reconstructed slices of the phantom where the inclusion is clearly identified within the shell.
Phantom experiments have been good predictors of in vivo CTLM performance. Figure 4 shows results of a unilateral CTLM multislice scan of a normal volunteer with fatty breasts. Vascularisation and a well-localized area of dense tissue are visible.
A further avenue of development is the possibility of incorporating optical contrast agents to improve diagnosis. Fluorophores that absorb NIR light at one wavelength and fluoresce at another could be used as markers when injected into a patient. This technique could involve either specific targeting of the fluorophore to a certain type of tumor, or a non-specific approach relying on greater uptake of the fluorophore by the tumor due to hypervascularisation. Several major pharmaceutical companies are now expressing interest in developing optical contrast agents. These could be used in conjunction with a modified CTLM system, which has already demonstrated localization of a fluorescent inclusion within a breast-like phantom.
Future Direction
The results so far are highly encouraging and indicate the clinical potential of optical mammography. As expected, the spatial resolution shown in Figures 3 and 4 is poor since they were acquired with the CW CTLM system. However, it is anticipated that the spatial resolution will be greatly improved with the time-resolved CTLM system. Furthermore, the employment of optical contrast agents to aid diagnosis is an exciting proposition for the future. Ultimately, the outcome of clinical trials will determine the viability of the CTLM system in the breast-imaging market.

BPC was originally established in 1990 by Berna Biotech, the Swiss vaccine company acquired by Crucell in February. It was formed to market Vivotif, Berna's oral typhoid fever vaccine, in the U.S. and Canada. The company was acquired by Acambis in 2003.
"It makes good sense for Crucell to gain full control of Vivotif's sales in the U.S., which is the biggest market with the most attractive margins," points out Crucell's CEO, Ronald H.P. Brus. "Further, BPC will now assume the role of our sales organization in the U.S. We intend to use the sales and marketing potential the company has already demonstrated so successfully with Vivotif as a platform for future growth in the U.S. , including the potential launch of new products."

Coaches should explain what is expected of students and why they should conduct themselves in a manner "as to eliminate the possibility of any action that would unnecessarily excite athletes," according to the policy draft.
The policy also asks school coaches to collaborate with the cheerleading coach to eliminate cheers of "questionable or inflammatory natures."
Steve Freeman, newly named coach at Riverside High School, said there's nothing wrong with teaching respect to student athletes, but issuing a policy does have him concerned that coaches won't be able to make judgment calls on the field.
"Sportsmanship is the reason we play the game -- that's what it's all about, and there are a lot of life skills in sports that you can't get in the classroom. I think the problem with a policy is there are certain instances where we'll be unsure if we're going to be reprimanded when we feel like it's inappropriate to follow the procedures," he said.
While he teaches his players about self-control, he can't control the actions of the other team, Freeman said, and a policy like this one creates a gray area when it comes to safety.
"There are a lot of questions. You can't always control everyone, and sometimes when you have teenagers competing at a high physical level, tempers flare. At Riverside, a player who doesn't show good sportsmanship is going to be disciplined regardless," he said.
The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission outlines the standards for sportsmanship, ethics and integrity for teams.
"As long as it meets our guidelines, we think the principals and coaches should make the decisions because they are the ones who have their hands on the heartbeat of the issues," said WVSSAC Executive Director Gary Ray. "Many of our counties go above and beyond what they have to do. Some counties have even increased the GPA standards to become an athlete."
South Charleston High School football coach Donnie Mays said the motives behind the policy are simple.
"Sportsmanship is a part of the game, and putting a policy in place is just another way of saying you have to do it," he said. "When you're on the field, you never know who's watching -- a future boss or college coach. You should always treat others the way you want to be treated. It's as simple as that."

Cellar/Tasting Notes Interestingly, a bottle of 1990 Lafite Rothschild I pulled from my cellar for a video blog on my web site was still buttoned down, tight, and even with extended decanting was not showing as much as I would have hoped.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A monumental wine, this historic La Mission-Haut-Brion was the last vintage made by the descendants of the Woltner family, who had owned this estate for decades prior to selling it to their neighbors, the Dillon family (the American owners of cross-street rival, Chateau Haut-Brion). The 1982..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "...

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, this wine represents only 34% of Lafite's total harvest. In a less than perfect Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998 is close to perfection. The..

Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment ... it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine ... and last for 25-30 more."

Hidden Stories of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry
Personal Reflections
Distributed for Policy Press at the University of Bristol
227 pages
5 1/2 x 8 1/2
© 2013
Young people who come into contact with police officers on the streets of Britain today have little idea of the significance of the stabbing death of Stephen Lawrence in 1993. Only their parents or grandparents remember the daily news stories for several months following the stabbing of police incompetence and racism. This unique book reminds us of the importance of the Stephen Lawrence case, providing an insider's view of the inquiry into his murder.
Presenting never-before-seen information about the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, panel member Richard Stone helps explain why it has not brought sufficient results, and why it has failed to change institutional racism. Using the case as a springboard, he discusses wider contemporary issues—such as policing practices and double-jeopardy rulings—and the lessons we can learn from the many details of the case that have otherwise been buried. Hardhitting and full of insights, this book makes essential reading for academics, students, researchers, and anyone interested in crime, police, and institutional racism.
Bryn Caless, Canterbury Christ Church University
"It is apt and timely that Dr Stone should reveal detail from the (only now available) transcript evidence, modulated through his own cool, scientific, and humanely liberal interpretation of this important event. His findings and commentary are of special value: this is the testimony of one who saw the police arguably at their worst and can judge what, if anything, has changed in the subsequent twenty years."
Lord Ouseley of Peckham Rye
"Insights into the private considerations of the Stephen Lawrence Murder Inquiry will provide clarity and better understanding about how the combination of prejudice, poor leadership, unaccountable decision-making and abuse of power contribute to institutional discriminatory outcomes."
Leroy Logan, founder of the Black Police Association
"By writing this unique book, Richard Stone has recognised that the learning from the Lawrence Inquiry is still a critical factor in the legitimacy and relevance of policing today, which helps to ensure that the legacy of Stephen Lawrence will withstand the test of time."
Doreen Lawrence OBE
"Going through the Inquiry was a reminder of the pain of losing my son—it was difficult but one I had to sit through. The Inquiry filled in the gaps of what happened the night my son was murdered and showed me the depth of racism and corruption that existed in the Metropolitan police service. To be able to read the behind-the-scenes account by Dr. Richard Stone is important for the history of the Inquiry and its legacy."

My car
I bought this 99 S reg version second hand with 33k on the clock. In the first year I had a front bearing replaced, luckily under warranty. I have driven it in most conditions and found it comfortable. It is an expensive vehicle to run as it drinks petrol at an alarming rate. This is especially noticeable in town.
The trim is better than average as is the price however, repair costs are high due to the price of spare parts which are well above average.
The looks of it are reasonable although, like all 4X4's it is a box on wheels.
Space wise it is quite roomy and there is enough room for 3 adults in the back.
Overall I have enjoyed the ride but would not have another one. They provide a comfortable ride with all the bits but the term cheap and cheerful springs to mind.

Washington, DC - 07/01/2004 - Overloaded court dockets, a chronic shortage of available services for families and poorly prepared caseworkers are significant barriers to finding safe, permanent homes for children in foster care and significant sources of frustration for judges, according to a new national survey of more than 2,200 U.S. judges who hear child abuse and neglect cases released today. The survey was sponsored by Fostering Results, a nonpartisan, national foster care public education project, in partnership with the National Center for State Courts and the National Council of Juvenile & Family Court Judges. "Judges are often hesitant to talk outside the courtroom about their problems and concerns inside the courtroom," said retired Judge Nancy Sidote Salyers, former Presiding Judge of the Cook County (IL) Juvenile Court's Child Protection Division and Co-Director of Fostering Results. "The large number of judges who responded to our survey and their remarkable candor paint an unprecedented 'judges-eye-view' of the challenges facing our nation's child welfare system." The survey provides an extensive look at how judges who hear child dependency cases view their own courtrooms and hurdles to providing permanent families for children in foster care. Among the key findings of the judicial survey:
