Criminal Justice Involvement and Service Need among Men on Methadone who Have Perpetrated Intimate Partner Violence.
ABSTRACT Perpetrators of male-to-female intimate partner violence (IPV) may be likely to have multiple service needs, the extent of which may vary with respect to criminal justice involvement. The salience of the criminal justice system and the potential impact on service needs due to arrest and incarceration is underscored given the association between substance use and IPV. This study utilized a sample of men in methadone treatment who perpetrated male-to-female IPV in order to examine associations between criminal justice involvement and perceived additional service need(s). Results indicate that the likelihood of having a service need(s) significantly increased as time since most recent arrest or incarceration decreased. These findings highlight the need and potential benefit that can be derived from greater coordination amongst the criminal justice, IPV prevention, and drug treatment systems and service providers.

ABSTRACT: Release from short-term jail detention is highly destabilizing, associated with relapse to substance use, recidivism, and disrupted health care continuity. Little is known about emergency department (ED) use, potentially a surrogate for medical, psychiatric, or social instability, by people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) leaving jails. All ED visits were reviewed from medical records for a cohort of 109 PLHWA in the year following release from county jail in Connecticut, between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010. Primary outcomes were frequency and timing of ED visits, modeled using multivariate negative binomial regression and Cox proportional hazards regression, respectively. Demographic, substance use, and psychiatric disorder severity factors were evaluated as potential covariates. Overall, 71 (65.1 %) of the 109 participants made 300 unique ED visits (2.75 visits/person-year) in the year following jail-release. Frequency of ED use was positively associated with female sex (incidence rate ratios, IRR 2.40 [1.36-4.35]), homelessness (IRR 2.22 [1.15-4.41]), and recent substance use (IRR 2.47 [1.33-4.64]), and inversely associated with lifetime drug severity (IRR 0.01 [0-0.10]), and being retained in HIV primary care (IRR 0.80 [0.65-0.99]). Those in late or sustained HIV care used the ED sooner than those not retained in HIV primary care (median for late retention 16.3 days, median for sustained retention 24.9 days, median for no retention not reached at 12 months, p value 0.004). Using multivariate modeling, those who used the ED earliest upon release were more likely to be homeless (HR 1.98 [1.02-3.84]), to be retained in HIV care (HR 1.30 [1.04-1.61]), and to have recently used drugs (HR 2.51 [1.30-4.87]), yet had a low lifetime drug severity (HR 0.01 [0.00-0.14]). Among PLWHA released from jail, frequency of ED use is high, often soon after release, and is associated with social and drug-related destabilizing factors. Future interventions for this specific population should focus on addressing these resource gaps, ensuring housing, and establishing immediate linkage to HIV primary care after release from jail.Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine. 10/2014;

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the association of intimate partner violence (IPV) with specific HIV treatment outcomes, especially among criminal justice (CJ) populations who are disproportionately affected by IPV, HIV, mental and substance use disorders (SUDs) and are at high risk of poor post-release continuity of care. Mixed methods were used to describe the prevalence, severity, and correlates of lifetime IPV exposure among HIV-infected jail detainees enrolled in a novel jail-release demonstration project in Connecticut. Additionally, the effect of IPV on HIV treatment outcomes and longitudinal healthcare utilization was examined. Structured baseline surveys defined 49% of 84 participants as having significant IPV-exposure, which was associated with female gender, longer duration since HIV diagnosis, suicidal ideation, having higher alcohol use severity, having experienced other forms of childhood and adulthood abuse, and homo/bisexual orientation. IPV was not directly correlated with HIV healthcare utilization or treatment outcomes. In-depth qualitative interviews with 20 surveyed participants, however, confirmed that IPV was associated with disengagement from HIV care especially in the context of overlapping vulnerabilities, including transitioning from CJ to community settings, having untreated mental disorders, and actively using drugs or alcohol at the time of incarceration. Post-release interventions for HIV-infected CJ populations should minimally integrate HIV secondary prevention with violence reduction and treatment for SUDs.International Journal of Prisoner Health 01/2013; 9(3):124-141.

ABSTRACT: The provision of appropriate HIV prevention, treatment, and care services for most-at-risk populations (MARP) will challenge many health care systems. For people who sell sex or inject drugs and for men who have sex with men, stigma, discrimination, and criminalization can limit access to care, inhibit service uptake, and reduce the disclosure of risks. Several models for provision of HIV services to MARP may address these issues. We discuss integrated models, stand-alone services, and hybrid models, which may be appropriate for some MARP in some settings. Both public health and human rights frameworks concur that those at greatest risk should have expanded access to services.JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes 08/2011; 57 Suppl 2:S96-9. · 4.65 Impact Factor

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a prominent public concern in the U.S., with nearly
700,000 non-fatal intimate partner victimization occurring in 2001 (Rennison & Welchans,
2003). Although IPV is often bi-directional, being perpetrated by both male and female
partners (Jose & O'Leary, 2009), several considerations prompt attention on IPV against
women. Fatalities among women have consistently outnumbered men in the U.S.: the ratio
of female to male intimate homicides has steadily increased from from 1.2 to 3.6 over the
past three decades (Catalano, 2007). The majority of IPV cases filed in the courts from
sixteen large U.S. urban counties involved victimization of females by male perpetrators
(Smith & Farole Jr., 2009). The cost of IPV against women in the U.S. has been estimated to
exceed $5.8 billion (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 2003). These data
underscore the importance of prevention, interdiction, and treatment efforts for men who
perpetrate IPV against their female partner(s).

Service needs among perpetrators of male-to-female IPV
Research suggests that levels of service needs beyond halting violence may be high among
perpetrators of male-to-female IPV. Research indicates that the likelihood of perpetrating
IPV against a female partner is increased during periods of substance use (Fals-Stewart,
Golden, & Schumacher, 2003). Many additional studies point to the overlap and intersection
among substance abuse and perpetration of IPV (Brookoff, O'Brien, Cook, Thompson, &
Williams, 1997; Coker, Smith, McKeown, & King, 2000; El-Bassel, Gilbert, Wu, Chang, &
Fontdevila, 2007; Fals-Stewart et al., 2003; Fals-Stewart & Kennedy, 2005; Stith, Smith,
Penn, Ward, & Tritt, 2004; Stuart et al., 2008; Stuart, Moore, Kahler, & Ramsey, 2003),
suggesting that the need for drug treatment services may be elevated among batterers.
Besides the need for effective drug treatment, a large body of research with substance
abusers indicates that there may be a host of additional needs covering a spectrum of issues,
including physical and mental health, employment and finances, housing, and familial
difficulties (Chan, Dennis, & Funk, 2008; Davis, Uezato, Newell, & Frazier, 2008;
Etheridge, Craddock, Dunteman, & Hubbard, 1995; Niv, Lopez, Glynn, & Mueser, 2007;
Ray, Mertens, & Weisner, 2007; Widman, Platt, Lidz, Mathis, & Metzger, 1997).
Perpetration of IPV may also be linked to the presence of mental disorders in batterers.
Borderline and Antisocial Personality Disorders (Mauricio, Tein, & Lopez, 2007),
Depression (Pan, Neidig, & O'Leary, 1994), and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Jordan et
al., 1992) are mental disorders that may be more common among perpetrators. These
findings suggest that there may be elevated levels of need for psychological and counseling
services among men who perpetrate IPV against female partners.
Focal point: Criminal justice
Given the aforementioned overlap between IPV and substance abuse, taken together with the
IPV and substance abuse often involving law-breaking behaviors (e.g., assault, possession of
a controlled substance), perpetrators of IPV are likely to interact with or encounter the
criminal justice system. Criminal justice involvement may impart several service needs that
manifest during release back into the community due to the negative impact of incarceration
on families (Travis, McBridge, & Solomon, 2006), housing (Graffam, Shinkfield, Lavelle,
& McPherson, 2005), drug treatment (Deren et al., 2001) employment (Harrison & Schehr,
2004) and health care (Freudenberg, Daniels, Crum, Perkins, & Richie, 2005). Studies
investigating perceived needs of recently released offenders have found that establishing
stable housing, obtaining employment and addressing educational needs were key
necessities for successful reintegration (Graffam et al., 2005). Stigma associated with having
a criminal record can become a barrier to employment (Harrison & Schehr, 2004).
Difficulties establishing stable employment can often exacerbate familial strain, which may
already be compromised by extended absences of men due to long incarceration stays. For
persons with mental illnesses, prison can be especially harmful due to the separation of
inmates from valuable social networks and harsh penalties for misconduct including social
isolation (Birmingham, 2003). Given the conditions of prison and the mental illnesses linked
to perpetrators of IPV, the perceived needs of psychological and counseling services deserve
Due to the strain associated with involvement and/or release from correctional institutions,
perpetrators of male-to-female IPV may have a variety of perceived needs associated with
their criminal histories, which requires further examination. Thus, research designed to shed
light on the impact of criminal justice involvement among drug-involved male perpetrators
of IPV with respect to service system needs and involvement may enhance efforts to better
engage and retain them in treatment services.

The purpose of the current study is to examine the perceived needs of patients in drug
treatment who have a history of partner violence and criminal justice involvement. More
specifically, this study utilizes a sample of men in methadone treatment who reported
perpetrating IPV against their female partners in order to examine the association between
criminal justice involvement and the perceived need for additional services. Based on the
extant findings summarized above, it is hypothesized that among this sample of perpetrators
of partner violence, more recent involvement with the criminal justice system will be
associated with greater perceived service needs (e.g., medical, employment, psychological,
and/or family services).
Design, sample, and procedures
Data were collected from a subsample of a longitudinal, panel study (conducted between
1999–2004) originally designed to examine the relationships among substance abuse, IPV,
and HIV risks among a random sample of male patients in methadone maintenance
treatment programs (MMTPs) (see El-Bassel et al., 2007 and Wu, El-Bassel, Gilbert, Piff, &
Sanders, 2004 for more information). Participants who had completed the original study, had
a history of perpetrating IPV, had a history of involvement with the criminal justice system,
and were actively receiving methadone treatment, were invited to complete an additional
interview for this study that focused on perceived service needs. Eligibility criteria for the
original study were: (1) being male aged eighteen or older; (2) being enrolled in a MMTP
for at least three months; and (3) having had a sexual relationship with a woman whom the
man described as his girlfriend, spouse, regular sexual partner, or the mother of his children,
within the past year. From the total of 356 men who participated and completed the original
study, additional eligibility criteria were employed for this study: (4) affirmed, during the
original study, at least one of the physical, injurious, or sexual perpetration IPV items on the
Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus, Hamby, Boney-McCoy, & Sugarman, 1996); and (5)
still received services from a MMTP. Of the 129 men who met all of the aforementioned
eligibility criteria, 126 men participated in the study and completed an additional interview
conducted in a similar manner as the original study (i.e. a ninety-minute, face-to-face
structured interview). Finally, to focus on criminal justice involvement, this study utilized a
subsample of men who reported being arrested and/or incarcerated in their lifetime, yielding
a final sample size of 119 participants.
Interviews were conducted by trained, male research assistants in a private office located in
the MMTP. Each structured interview elicited self-reported data on the measures to be
described below. Participants received $35 for completing the interview.
The Institutional Review Boards of the participating MMTPs and Columbia University (the
research institution) approved the protocol for this study, and all participants provided
informed consent prior to the interviews.
Background variables and covariates—Sociodemographic data collected included
age; race/ethnicity; whether the participant had a high school diploma or graduate
equivalency degree; current employment status (0 = unemployed; 1 = employed "either on
or off the books"); monthly income; whether the participant had health insurance (0=none; 1
= Medicaid/Medicare/private health insurance); marital status (0 = Single, never married; 1
= divorced, separated, or widowed; 2 = legally or common-law married); and duration of
current methadone treatment. Use of illicit drugs was assessed using the Drug Use and Risk
Behavior Questionnaire (El-Bassel, Gilbert, Schilling, & Wada, 2000), which highlights the

frequency of crack, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana use during the six months prior to
assessment, based on the participant's self-report.
Since service need may be affected by the receipt of services (in addition to methadone
treatment), data were collected on participants use of formal services using the 30-day
Treatment Services Review (TSR) (McLellan, Alterman, Cacciola, Metzger, & O'Brien,
1992). The MMTP program itself provides or hosts a range of ancillary services, including
basic medical care/check-ups and support groups for other prominent health issues (e.g.,
HIV); MMTP counselors also meet regularly with patients to provide additional substance
abuse counseling as well as assessment, support, and referral for other psychosocial needs.
Thus, the TSR was modified to prompt participants to indicate whether the additional, non-
methadone services were received within the MMTP or from a service provider "outside of
the methadone clinic."
Independent variable: Criminal justice involvement
To investigate the impact of criminal justice involvement, participants were asked if they
were ever arrested; if a participant answered yes (N=119), he was asked to report the month
and year of the most recent arrest. Similarly, participants were also asked if they were ever
incarcerated or "locked up;" if a participant answered yes (n=108), he was asked to report
the month and year he was released from the most recent incarceration period. Based on the
date of the interview, "time since arrest" and "time since incarcerated" in years were
calculated and used in the analyses.
Dependent variable: Perceived need for services
For each of the major "types" of services covered by the TSR—substance abuse, medical,
legal, psychological, employment and family—participants were asked to indicate their
extent of agreement to the statement "It is important that I get additional [type of service]
services." For the analyses presented herein, responses were dichotomized into a binary
agree/disagree variable for each type of service. To quantify a more global level of service
need, the total number of service types for which a participant agreed he had a need for
another was calculated for each participant.
Binary logistic regression analyses for the binary service need outcome variable and
multiple linear regression analyses for the total number of types of service needs outcome
variable were performed to test hypotheses regarding the relationship between service need
and time since criminal justice involvement. Separate statistical models were used for time
since arrest and time since last incarceration. Findings are presented as odds ratios (ORs)
and their corresponding 95 percent confidence intervals (95% CIs) for logistic regression
models, and bs (OLS estimates of β) and their associated standard errors (SEs) for
multivariate linear regression models. In both types of models, nominal p-values are also
indicated to aid in interpretation of results and inference from hypothesis testing.
Characteristics of the study sample
Table 1 presents summary descriptive statistics for the sample. With respect to age, race/
ethnicity, and current treatment duration, the study sample was very comparable to the
overall patient population at the MMTP study sites; for other variables, data were
unavailable (e.g., health insurance) or not collected (e.g., time since most recent arrest or
incarceration) as part of clinic census data made available to the investigative team. Among
the sample, the time since most recent arrest ranged from one week to thirty-two years. Out

of the 108 participants (91 percent) who reported some history of being in jail or prison, the
mean time since release from the most recent incarceration ranged from one month to 35
In this sample of men on methadone who reported a history of perpetrating IPV, 83 (70
percent) of the participants reported using at least one illicit drug at least once in the past six
months; among the participants who reported illicit drug use in the past six months, the
median frequency of use was once per week. The median frequency for a specific drug was
once per month among the 55 participants who reported using heroin during the prior six
months, once per week for the 34 participants who reported crack/cocaine use, and once per
week for the 35 participants who reported marijuana use.
In general, participants in the study appeared to receive a variety of service both at the
MMTP (excluding methadone administration) as well as outside of the MMTP. Of the 119
participants, 35 men (29.4 percent) reported receiving ancillary services at the MMTP; the
median number of visits in the prior 30 days was 2.0 visits. The mean number of different
types of ancillary services received at the MMTP was 0.4 types (SD = 0.8 types) among the
entire sample and 1.4 types (SD = 1.0 types) among those who received services. The most
frequent ancillary service received at the MMTP among the participants was medical (n = 24
men, 20.2 percent) followed by employment (n = 14 men, 11.8 percent), family (n = 6 men,
5 percent), psychological (n = 5 men, 4.2 percent), and legal (n = 2 men, 1.7 percent). With
respect to receiving services outside of the MMTP, 86 men (72 percent) reported receiving
such services; the median number of visits in the prior 30 days was 6.5 visits among the men
who reported receiving non-MMTP services. The mean number of different types of non-
MMTP services received was 1.5 types (SD =1.4 types) among the entire sample and 2.0
types (SD = 1.2 types) among those who received services. The most frequent non-MMTP
service received by the participants was medical, reported by 70 men (49 percent), followed
by [additional] services for substance use (n = 35 men, 29 percent), psychological issues/
mental health (n = 25 men, 18 percent), employment (n = 24 men, 20 percent), family (n =
12 men, 10 percent), and legal (n = 8 men, 7 percent).
Reported need for services
Among the 119 participants, only 8 (7 percent) reported not needing any additional non-
MMTP services. Results for specific types of services (presented in Table 2) indicate that
the most frequently reported need was for medical, followed in decreasing order by
employment, [non-MMTP] substance abuse, legal, psychological, and family services. Only
family services was reported as an additional need by less than half of the sample, though
that need was reported by 47 percent of the participants in this study. Of the six types of
services, about which investigators asked, participants indicated it would be important to
receive 3.6 (SD = 1.9) of the types of services on average.
Criminal justice involvement and service need
Bivariate analyses revealed a significant negative association between time since most
recent arrest and need for the following types of non-MMTP services: medical (OR = .90,
95% CI = .85 – .95, p < .01); employment (OR = .93, 95% CI = .88 – .98, p < .01);
substance abuse (OR = .95, 95% CI = .90 – .99, p = .03); and family (OR = .94, 95% CI = .
89 – .99, p = .03). Results suggest a negative association between time since most recent
arrest and need for psychological services (OR = .96, 95% CI = .91 – 1.0, p = .08). A
negative association was observed between time since last arrest and need for legal services,
but did not meet the criterion for rejecting the null hypothesis (OR = .97, 95% CI = .93 –
1.0, p = .23). When the outcome variable was need for services in any domain, a significant
negative association was observed (OR = .88, 95% CI = .82 – .95, p < .01). Analyses

Family 411: Preconception Health for Those Hoping to Start a Family
DAYTON -- Americans have better access to health care than any other developed country, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says birth outcomes here are among the worst. It has a lot to do with choices women make before they ever get pregnant.
Arlynn and Ebony Hall recently found out a baby is on the way. Theyre talking about names and shopping for the nursery.
Families spend months preparing for their little miracle, but OB-GYN, Dr. Tiffany Hall says, What's more important is actually preparing for the pregnancy.
The health community has a new focus for women of child-bearing age: preconception health.
Dr. Hall says, You want to make sure you're going into a pregnancy as healthy as you can possibly be.
Ebony was working closely with Dr. Hall for months before she conceived, and says she decided to change the way she as eating and started working out.
Her husband Arlynn adds, Being an engineer I was kind of on her too, to make sure she took her prenatal vitamin.
For the Halls, getting healthy is not just for the baby. They're making it a priority for their whole family. According to the CDC, babies whose parents took steps to get healthy before pregnancy were less likely to be born early or have low birth weight.
Dr. Hall says it should start at least six months before pregnancy.
She says, If you have unhealthy habits such as smoking, even alcohol use, illicit drug use, that needs to stop.
Dr. Hall says unlike Ebony, most patients don't consult with her until they're already pregnant, and that concerns her.
If you're not healthy when you're ready to conceive, then any disease process you had before can get worse as a result of pregnancy, says the OB-GYN.
Preconception health should be a team effort between patient and doctor, just as Arlynn and Ebony are making their new healthy lifestyle a team effort.
Being that she had to do that for the health of the baby, that helps me a lot, says the expectant dad, and Ebony adds, I feel like that's a gift you can pass, and my children can pass, just like a legacy of being healthy.
Here are five things women should do *before* becoming pregnant: Take pre-natal vitamins containing folic acid. Stop smoking and don't drink alcohol. Get medical conditions like asthma or diabetes under control. Talk to your doctor about any medications you're using. Address any environmental concerns at work or home which could threaten your health or a baby's.

This fall marked the beginning of my 4th year in New Jersey; I figured I should show some NJ pride so I bought this wonderful navy-blue wool baseball cap. Recently it became too cold to not have something covering my ears. Solution? Wool earflaps.
I used a pair of navy wool trousers that I bought at a thrift store for the wool. I braided yarn for the ties.
The flaps are stitched on in such a way to be easily removed next spring.

Some Words with a Mummy
"Some Words with a Mummy" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in American Review: A Whig Journal in April 1845.
Plot summary[edit]
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (November 2010)
The story begins with the narrator at home, he complains of feeling unwell due to a symposium he had attend the night before. After eating a light dinner of four pounds of Welsh rabbit and five bottles of Brown Stout, the narrator heads to bed. He is awakened shortly after he falls asleep by the ringing of his door bell followed by knocking at his door. Shortly after his wife brings him a note from his friend Doctor Ponnonner. In the note Doctor Ponnonner invites the narrator to his home to take part in a mummy unwrapping at eleven that night. The narrator gets dressed and leaves for the doctor's home at once.
Upon arriving at the doctor's house he is met by an excited group of men waiting for the examination to begin. They begin by cutting into the first sarcophagus and removing it. At this point they make their first discovery, the mummy's name, Allamistakeo. They then remove the second and third sarcophagi revealing the body itself. Instead of finding the body wrapped in layer after layer of linen bandages as they expected, the body was placed in a papyrus sheath and then covered in plaster and decorated with painting and gold gilt. After removing this they examine the body. They find it to be in exceptionally good condition, although it does not seem to have been embalmed in the normal way as the skin is red and there are no incisions.
The narrator takes notice of the time as the doctor is laying out his instruments for the dissection and the men agree to adjourn for the night as it is already past two in the morning. As the men begin to disperse for the night, one suggests experimenting with a Voltaic pile. The excitement of using electricity on the body of a mummy dead for thousands of years proves too much of a temptation for the men and they begin preparations at once. They make incisions into the mummy's temple, big toe, and nose in order to apply electricity to the muscles underneath the surface. When electricity was applied to the temple the mummy closed its eyes, this disquieted the men but the doctor continued. When it was applied to the toe the mummy kicked the doctor with such force that he was thrown through the window. After collecting the Doctor from outside the men go back to work on the mummy. Electricity was applied to its nose. This caused the mummy to open its eyes and blink rapidly. It then sneezed, sat up and shook its fist at the doctor. It then turned to two of the men, Gliddon and Buckingham, and began talking to them in Egyptian. The mummy condemned the men for their abuse of his person. Thoroughly chastised the men make their apologies to Allamistakeo and explain to him why they dissect mummies and the scientific importance of it. Satisfied with the explanation and their apologies Allamistakeo shakes hands with the men, who then proceed to patch up the damage caused by their incisions. They then gather up proper clothes for Allamistakeo and sit down for cigars and wine.
As the men talk, Allamistakeo begins to explain how he came to be a mummy, ancient Egyptians had a significantly longer life span than modern men, about one thousand years, they were also able to be embalmed, this process arrested the bodily functions allowing them to sleep through hundreds of years only to rise and go on with their lives centuries later. Allamistakeo again chastises the men for their ignorance of Egyptian history. He then explains that throughout time man has always been monotheistic, the pagan gods were symbols of the various aspects of the one true god. The men also ask him, as he is over five thousand years old, if he knows anything about how the universe was created ten thousand years ago. Allamistakeo responds that no one during his time entertained the fantasy that the universe was ever created, but that it always existed, although, some believed that humans were created by spontaneous generation. This begins a debate amongst the men, the modern men attempt to prove that the Egyptians were inferior while Allamistakeo attempts to defend his people. The narrator asks Allamistakeo a series of questions. Allamistakeo answers them all, while one of the men beg the narrator to consult Ptolemy, Plutarch, and Diodorus Siculus as he asks the questions. At this point the Doctor butts in and asks Allamistakeo to consider modern architecture. The Doctor asks Allamistakeo to consider Bowling-Green Fountain in New York and Capitol at Washington, D. C., as they are prime examples of modern architectural marvels. Allamistakeo then tells the men of a "inferior" palace in Charnac, "He would not pretend to assert that even fifty or sixty of the Doctor's Capitols might have been built within these walls, but he was by no means sure that two or three hundred of them might not have been squeezed in with some trouble." The narrator then asks Allamistakeo what he thinks about railroads. He replies that they are ill-conceived and replies that the iron causeways Egyptians used for building were more than effective. He then told Allamistakeo about the benefits of steel use, to which he replied that the copper tools the Egyptians used were better. The narrator then criticizes Allamistakeo on his ignorance of steam, the same man that interrupted him before chastises him again and calls him a fool, telling him that the steam engine was based on a design by Heron. The Doctor comes to the rescue, asking Allamistakeo if ancient Egyptians had ever produced Ponnonner's lozenges or Brandreth's pills. To this Allamistakeo had to accept defeat and, in triumph, the men dispersed.
The story ends with the narrator sitting at home finishing his story. In the last lines he writes of his dissatisfaction with his wife, who he calls a shrew, and with the time in general. He plans on eating his breakfast and going back to Ponnanners to get embalmed for a few centuries.
Publication history[edit]
In January 1845, Columbian Magazine listed "Some Words with a Mummy" as scheduled for publication; Poe likely pulled the article when he was offered more money for it elsewhere.[1] It was ultimately published in the April 1845 edition of the American Review,[2] which also included Poe's revised poems "The Valley of Unrest" and "The City in the Sea".[3] The story was republished without changes shortly after in the November 1, 1845, issue of the Broadway Journal.[2]
|This section possibly contains original research. (November 2010)
This story is a satire of two things. First the popular interest in Egyptology and mummies during the time that this story was written. Secondly the prevailing thought that in the West humanity had reached the height of civilization and knowledge due to the scientific and industrial revolutions.
Satire of Egyptmania[edit]
Poe is clearly poking fun at Egyptmania in this story. In the story a group of men gather together in the middle of the night to examine a mummy for the sake of "scientific discovery". During their examination they act like a group of children that just got a new toy. They poke and prod the mummy just to see what happens, this is evident when they decide to use electricity. The fact that this is going on at the Doctor's private residence and is attended by his friends only, even though they do not have any kind of medical expertise denotes this fact. Although it seems, in modern times, counterproductive to conduct a serious scientific examination in a party like atmosphere, this was commonly done at the time, a fact that Poe is ridiculing here. The mummy is also a method of ridicule here, right down to its name, Allamistakeo. Unlike serious mummy horror stories, the mummy is not scary, and the characters do not react to it as such. It is another device that Poe uses to censure the reader. Upon its resurrection, the mummy chastises the men for their abuse of himself and mummies in general.
Satire of science and knowledge[edit]
In their discussion with Allamistakeo, the men attempt to exalt their time as one of unprecedented knowledge and technology. Again and again, Allamistakeo is able to prove that the technology in his time was not inferior, and often superior, to the modern equivalents. The narrator, who at first is presented as an intelligent, educated man, is later revealed to be completely ignorant. He asks Allamistakeo a series of questions intended to prove that modern technology is superior and each time he asks questions that, ultimately, support Allamistakeo's argument. Even when one of the men tries to stop him and suggests that he consult historical texts before asking his questions, he continues. When the man mentions Ptolemy, the narrators response is "whoever Ptolemy is". In the end, the only reason the men can consider themselves the victors of the debate comes down to cough drops.
The story was adapted as a one-act opera, Allamistakeo, by Giulio Viozzi in 1954.

Building Trust and Credibility on Twitter
Twitter is the Internet's version of SMS only more diverse. Save for the succinct 140 characters, Twitter gradually occupies the users' mind space not only because it is public, but also because of its inherent linking capacity. Unfortunately, Twitter had become a haven for hackers and spammers where they can accomplish devious goals. Despite this, how can legitimate tweeters build trust and credibility on the microblogging site? Answers are explored below.
Arianna Huffington, the founder of the biggest blog, Huffington Post, has these to say about Twitter.
1) Self-expression is the new entertainment.
Twitter is a place where users can display substance and encourage conversation whether it be an image, video or article. This means that, in cultivating trust among your followers, you should be a responsible Twitter user. Make sure that, despite the limited number of characters, you are tweeting contents that others can regard as an informative resource. Contents can be a source of inspiration, too.
Tweet about your company, its people, your products and services. Don't overdo it though. Make sure there are personal messages aside from brand-related tweets. Certainly, the Twitterers would want to know who is behind those tweets. Put a short bio with an image. Establish authority. The process of letting your followers know who you are also develops trust. The more relatable you are, the more trustworthy you become.
How Social Media Can Affect Your Site's Rankings
The world of Internet marketing can be a little fuzzy. Through the evolution of the Internet, mobile devices and marketing mediums, the rules and standards are constantly changing.
Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are booming, and many businesses have caught the wave and jumped on board, using these mediums effectively for their business.
With the evolution of Google's ranking standards, these marketers seem to have hit the goldmine; social media can directly correspond to your site's rankings and should no longer be ignored as an 'optional' marketing tool.
In 2010, Google was not interested in the reach social media business users had to their consumers for the purpose of Google rankings. Since, however, Google's standards have evolved. Just like SEO and external and internal links are important to incorporate to your website, the number of followers and the quality of followers of your social media sites play a role in where you rank as well. Quality conversation and involvement with consumers through these platforms helps your rankings climb.
How does a business incorporate meaningful social media use for better Google rankings?
First, your business must determine which social media platforms make sense for creating connections between consumers and what the company has to offer. This can vary greatly based on the type of business and its company-client communication goals, pre-determined by the company.

How To Use Social Media Sites For Marketing your Business?
Marketing through various social networks does not only mean how you sell your product, it is more about how you engage your followers. Social media marketing is considered the most innovative tool of internet marketing that is available for businesses online. This term refers to sharing relevant information as well as opinions through various social networking portals. The main objective of this form of marketing is building groups and communities, interaction and also sharing information which is of common interest.
Currently Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are three social networking sites that are making important inroads in the arena of Social Media with their creative tools and innovative marketing strategies. Though these networking sites are perceived as space of younger generation, online businesses have foreseen their opportunity of using the popular sites to their own benefit.
Why Social Media Sites Have Become Important For Digital Marketing?
Compared to other options available for marketing your business online, social media marketing is a very low cost investment. Social media sites are free to use and they even offer a number of links to your website just for free. It is when you use conventional methods that it costs you a lumpsum amount. All the popular networking sites receive huge traffic and in they can also generate a lot of traffic for your website. Moreover this type of marketing strategy acts almost likes word-of- mouth concept which works more than commercial advertising. Most search engine optimization company make use of the latest trends of social media marketing.

Gen. Keith Alexander's planned retirement would be an obvious time to separate leadership of the National Security Agency from that of U.S. Cyber Command, but the changes required are anything but simple.
Debate about the relationship between the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command has ratcheted up in the wake of damaging leaks about NSA surveillance activities, but no decision on whether to split the two entities is likely before dual-hatted Gen. Keith Alexander steps down in spring 2014.
The embattled Alexander is tasked with balancing Title 10 intelligence authorities at NSA and Title 50 operational authorities at CyberCom. With CyberCom a subordinate command to U.S. Strategic Command, Alexander also is the only four-star general who reports to another four-star, one of the numerous reasons the split remains on the table -- and perhaps likely, depending on who is asked.
A split would mean dividing those authorities, as well as a number of other policies, issues and personnel that surround the twin agencies that have been cooperating since CyberCom was established in 2010.
"The idea has been around for long time; it's been a point of discussion since before CyberCom even stood up," said Jim Lewis, senior fellow and director of the Technology and Public Policy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Some people wondered if it was inevitable, if CyberCom reached the point where they're working on their own without the NSA there. The real issue is CyberCom's capabilities. Are they ready to do things on their own?"
But before that officially is determined, decisions likely will be made at the very top -- specifically, the leadership of two separate agencies post-Alexander, who announced his retirement in October.
There is, however, debate about who would lead -- not just the individual, but their credentials. Would NSA gain a civilian director? Would a three-star take over at subordinate-command CyberCom, or will it be elevated to a combatant command headed up by a four-star general -- a change that would require legislation?
By comparison, the Defense Intelligence Agency is led by three-star Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, while the Director of National Intelligence is civilian James Clapper and the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, the highest-ranking military intelligence official at the Pentagon, is civilian Michael Vickers. The Joint Special Operations Command is led by three-star Lt. Gen. Joseph Votel, subordinate to the Special Operations Command led by four-star Adm. William McRaven.
Both JSOC and SOCOM serve as potential models for CyberCom, where certain elevated authorities enjoyed by the former two commands could be particularly valuable in the fast-moving cyber landscape.
"I think what makes SOCOM unique, and our ability to meet warfighter needs, is our [Special Operations Forces equipment] dollars and our acquisition authorities," said John Wilcox, SOCOM CIO and director of communications systems. "It's no secret that that allows us to turn inside the normal procurement cycle. Given technology and the rapid evolution, that might be something CyberCom ought to have."
Aside from potentially changing particular authorities, dividing the leadership would also mean splitting responsibilities and possibly shifting military priorities.
"Right now you don't have a disagreement about whether to prioritize intelligence-gathering or military warfighting. You don't have that because it's all happening in the head of the same person," said Jason Healey, director of the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative. "That's a useful debate -- do you want to keep collecting, or do you want to win? In [signals intelligence], you want to keep listening. Warfighters will say at some point you have to stop listening and start fighting things out. Right now you don't have that debate."
Under Alexander, some responsibilities are integrated, while others remain separate under federal requirements. Sorting out those responsibilities could prove to be a tough task, as officials will have to be careful to avoid overlap and duplication of missions. Lewis noted that doing so could require strengthened oversight.
"It's easy now because the same guy is directing the integrated responsibilities," Lewis said. "To conduct a cyber attack you have to look at the opponent's network. NSA is good at that, and then they can hand [military action] off to CyberCom. If they split, how will that work when it's not integrated?"
Flynn declined to speculate on what might happen, but emphasized the critically close relationship between intelligence and cyber.
"What does intelligence do? Intelligence enables things," Flynn said. "Intelligence enables decisions, it enables operations, it enables ideas, it enables new technologies we have. So intelligence definitely enables cyber. There's a really, really close lash-up between intelligence and cyber. And operations ... if you want to extend that."
As for the people carrying out those operations -- and the two agencies' missions across the board -- a split could get messy, multiple sources said, and the potential for mess could determine when, how and if the separation happens.
"The staff is intertwined; CyberCom is a separate entity, but the relationship with NSA is pretty close," Lewis said. "Of course service members are in both organizations and civilians are in both organizations. But it's still not an obstacle in separating them with the caveat that if you take the NSA people out of CyberCom, what's left? Until we can answer that question, they ought to go slowly."

Simply Fab: Maison Martin Margiela Convertible Beach Bag

It's a bag, no wait, it's a beach towel, wait . . . it's both! This MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Convertible Terry Beach Bag ($235) works like a beach bag and beach mat all rolled up into one. Just unzip the sides and huzzah: the cheery yellow plush terry towel is ready to protect you from the sand. Fab!

Quiksilver made one of these that was way cuter & around 40 bucks. Plus it wasn't a towel, it was a straw mat when unrolled. Which makes more sense than a towel, because it won't retain the moisture from you laying on it when you roll it back up to use it as a bag :) My friend has one. Can't find one to link to, though.

You are welcome to download the following pre-release RC test packages to have access to the latest features and fixes. These versions are updated hourly, and may contain issues, so please use them only for test purposes.
We have CAPsMAN v2 ready for testing.
Note: CAPsMAN v2 is NOT compatible with current CAPsMAN v1 (CAPsMAN v1 CAP devices will not be able to connect to CAPsMAN v2 and CAPsMAN v2 CAP devices will not be able to connect to CAPsMAN v1). It means that both CAPsMAN and CAP devices should have wireless-cm2 package installed in order to make CAPsMAN v2 system to work. If you want to try out the CAPsMAN v2 upgrade all the CAPs and the CAPsMAN to latest RouterOS version and install wireless-cm2 package.
CAPsMAN v2 features:
Upgrade options from v1 to v2:
Option1: Install a new temporary CAPsMAN v2 router in same network where the current CAPsMAN router is and start upgrading CAPs with wireless-cm2 package. All CAPs with the v2 will connect to the new temporary CAPsMAN v2 router. After every CAP is upgraded to v2, upgrade your current CAPsMAN to v2 and then turn off the temporary CAPsMAN v2 router.
Option2: Upgrade your CAPs and then CAPsMAN to v2 at the same time. In this case you could have little more downtime unless you schedule all the CAPs to reboot/install at the same time.
