stuff fresh jess likes: food and controversy
last night at the hideout, a few of my favorite people, some other random seattleites and i had the pleasure of having dinner with christian and friends, thanks to kim ricketts book events (i told you. get on her fun list now!) onepot provided a delicious english meal while we engaged in conversation and listened to a couple of short reads from the book. i was already a big fan of the blog, but after having met the humble and truly awesome author(s), i think "stuff white people like" might be tops on my list. i can't imagine having millions reading your blog every day and responding so passionately to it (both negatively and positively.) you haters know this is supposed to be funny right? even at dinner, i think we might have offended some of the folks having a drink at the bar who didn't have a clue about the blog. lighten up a bit, geez!

seattle p-i.com: 'Voice of the Sonics,' Calabro jumps off magic carpet ride
i've been reading lots of reader comments on news articles and blogs since news broke a week ago that our beloved sonics are leaving us. what i really like about this article is kc's true honesty - he holds nothing back about how he feels, and that's what makes him such a treasure. i know you hear "good golly miss molly, my oh my" in your head right now...just nod and smile :)
what i don't like is how the guise of the internet brings out the severely unclassy. this is not just about the anti-sonics haters, i mean haters in general. lots of them come out of the woodwork long enough to say "good riddance sonics, now take the M's and the seahawks with you" or "the sonics never meant anything anyway." everybody's got their own opinion, i understand that, but ignorance just gets to me sometimes. you know what, this situation sucks, yes. we lost a pro sports franchise and there are many options at which/who to point the blame to. but what makes some people so mad about the sonics that they're so happy to see them leave? what is it about this NBA franchise that's making your life so miserable it inspires you to leave nasty comments on the internets? i'm sorry, are you one of the many employees who now have to make the choice to move to the armpit of america (OKC), or look for another job? are you one of the children or part of one of the families who were helped out by one of the sonics/storm's many community outreach programs? what people don't stop to think about are the ramifications of a major employer leaving the city, the neighborhood effects of losing a major tenant at key arena, etc. - because it's so much easier to complain, bitch & moan about how much you hate something right?
you can hate all you want, but you can't deny that the sonics are a piece of the pie that makes seattle such a great place to live - and losing them will definitely have an effect. think about that!
p.s. thanks for keeping it classy calabro
white people like parties, and writing books
Hi, Fun List Friends!
We have very few seats, like ten, available at what is sure to be the most talked about shindig of the summer. Christian Lander, writer of the hugely popular and hysterical blog, stuffwhitepeoplelike.com wrote a book, and so we are celebrating with him.
What do White People Like?
It is pretty clear: women with bangs, recycling, mayonnaise, bilingual children, bumper stickers, grammar, the Ivy League, scarves, Target, having gay friends, graduate school, difficult breakups, sweaters….and, inexplicably, Billy Joel!
In tribute to this scaldingly fun satire of many of us, we are throwing a dinner in Christian's honor, along with One Pot at The Hideout on Tuesday, July 15.
Dinner is at 6pm and cost is $60/person, which includes a copy of his book, STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions.
You MUST call or email the Book Events office to RSVP, (206) 632-2419 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
But there is some good news for the people who don't get one of the coveted seats at dinner…The party, celebration, book signing, and shindig will continue in to the evening…and anyone can show up after 8pm. Free to get in, no host bar, and books will be for sale. Let the good time roll!
The Hideout is located at 1005 Boren Avenue, just north of Madison on First Hill.
i love it. more info at www.kimricketts.com. we are so there!

Part I
Stay at the right hotel in China, and you're likely to get a phone call you'll never forget—The Call.
The Call is often personalized. If you're foreign-looking, The Call will often come in English—broken English, but English.
The Call is often self-censored. If you bring a female guest, you probably won't get The Call. (Although I was lucky enough to get The Call when my sister traveled with my in China.)
The Call often comes in rounds, giant sweeps of the hotel, but it may also come tailored to your arrival. Around 10PM at night, you may hear the phone ring in the room across the hall, followed by the room next door, after which you'll soon get The Call in your fair turn. At other times, The Call will come right after you've checked into your room, underscoring the personal touch.
The Call is one, at most two, sentences long, and it always some version of the following:
"Ni hao, ni xuyao anmo ma?"
"Hello, you want massage?"
If the caller is persistent and thinks the offer of an in-room massage is not obvious enough, The Call will continue with:
"Ni yao nvhai'r peipei ma?"
"Want a girl to accompany-accompany you?"
All of this I knew about The Call, but a mystery about these calls lingered in my mind—a question that only the Chongqing Hotel of Horrors and a healthy dose of delegation would resolve.

Resolving Conflicts Related to Family Caregiving
U.S. Agency on Aging
As most families know, "conflict happens." Families involved with making decisions about the care of an adult family member know how stressful conflict can be for the care provider, care receiver and other family members. Conflict is not always a bad thing. However, those unprepared for conflict are not typically able to resolve it in a positive way. Here is an overview of areas of potential conflict that arise in family caregiving, including tips for resolving conflict when it occurs.
Areas of Potential Conflict
The easiest way to avoid caregiving conflict is for a potential care receiver to plan in advance for the following issues. However, not everyone is able to make their wishes known or to plan for services. Caregiving conflict can arise around a wide range of issues, including, but not limited to:
Healthcare decisions:
Financial decisions:
Living arrangements:
Communication Issues:
Family relationship issues (new or long-standing):
Household care and maintenance:
Safety vs. autonomy:
Respite care and support for caregivers:
Needs of other family members/caregivers:
Resolving Conflict
Sometimes it is hard to see another person's point of view, particularly in family situations where strong emotions are at play. The following tips can help address conflict in a positive way and stop it from escalating:
Plan a time to talk things over and set an agenda
Practice good communication skills
Practice "active listening" techniques
Try role reversal
Involve the care receiver
Gather needed information
Involve a Mediator
When families are unable to resolve caregiving problems on their own, it may be useful to involve a trained, neutral third party such as a mediator. A mediator can provide a confidential, private setting in which everyone's concerns can be heard and addressed. Mediators use a process that is fair and unbiased, and allow the participants to make decisions about the outcome.

The Guide covers important issues such as advice for those who are adult caregivers, answers to frequently asked questions, and guidance on the next steps to take when one becomes an adult caregiver. The Guide also provides extensive resources and contact information in the areas of caregiving education, disease-specific organizations and senior health and aging.

Anti-Aging Hair Products
We tested 73 products on 579 volunteers, took more than 2,700 lab measurements, and tallied 1,055 questionnaires to find 17 top performers that really deliver on their promise of shinier, fuller, younger-looking hair. Find out how we tested anti-aging hair products and meet the anti-aging experts behind this massive undertaking.
Best Shampoos and Conditioners: Silver Winner
Coming in a close second, Biolage Rejuvathérapie Age Rejuvenating Shampoo and Conditioner ($18 and $19, respectively; salons) is a more wallet-friendly alternative to our expensive gold winner. It aced the lab's combing test (see above), and consumers loved how the "clean- and fresh-smelling" duo also helped boost the smoothness and softness of their strands. "My hair felt silky after it dried," said one pleased volunteer.
Tip: None of the shampoos and conditioners added notable volume. Troubleshoot flatness with a styling product, like a mousse.

How to help typhoon victims
The Southern Maine Chapter of the American Red Cross is accepting donations for victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
John Lamb, the regional director of communications told WMTW News 8 that people wishing to help should send a check made out to the American Red Cross, and write Philippines Typhoon and Flood in the memo line.
The checks should be mailed to:
American Red Cross
2401 Congress St.
Portland, ME 04102
Lamb said as of Sunday morning there were no plans to deploy any American Red Cross workers from Maine to the Philippines.
The typhoon that slammed into the Philippines on Friday is shaping up as one of the deadliest natural disasters on record there.
It will be days before the full extent of damage is assessed, but officials said as many as 10,000 people are believed dead in one city alone.
In its aftermath, looters have raided grocery stores and gas stations in search of food, fuel and water.
The storm surge created a 20-foot wall of water and some areas still have not been reached because they are cut off by flooding and landslides.
A massive relief operation is underway, but the Philippine National Red Cross says its efforts are being hampered by looters.

How does the order of creation demonstrate a model for male headship in the church?
In 1 Timothy 2:12 Paul says that a woman should not teach or exercise authority over a man. The reason he gives for this command is found in 1 Timothy 2:13. "For Adam was created first, not Eve." The reason women should not function as pastors or teach men is rooted in the created order according to Paul.
The point we should notice here is that Paul does not argue for male headship because of sin. Male headship is not the result of the fall but stems from God's good creation. What we must recognize here is that commands rooted in creation are still God's will for us today. For example, both marriage and the eating of all foods is a good thing because both of them were ordained for our good at creation (1 Tim. 4:1-5). So, too, divorce is never God's ideal because God indicated when he created Adam and Eve that one man should be married to one woman (Gen. 1:26-27; 2:18-25). Jesus argued from creation in supporting the permanence of marriage (Matt. 19:3-12). In the same way, homosexuality is wrong because it violates the created order, for once again the creation account teaches us that sexual relations are restricted to marriage between one man and woman (Rom. 1:26-27).
We see, then, that male headship is not due to sin or to a patriarchal culture but is rooted in the way God created males and females. Men, of course, are to lead with love and wisdom. Male headship is not a privilege but a great responsibility.

Back to main FAQs
May I Contest the Divorce Itself in a Minnesota Divorce Case?Do you want to stop your divorce and save your marriage? Cases where only one spouse wants the divorce are fairly common. People often mistakenly assume that they cannot contest the divorce itself. This is simply false. You certainly do have the right to contest the divorce. "No fault divorce" does not equate to "divorce on demand." [1]
In order to obtain a divorce in Minnesota, the Petitioner bears a burden of proof, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the marriage is irretrievably broken. [2]
If one party denies under oath that the marriage is irretrievably broken, the Court may not grant the divorce without finding irretrievable breakdown, after a hearing and consideration of all relevant factors, including but not limited to: 1) the circumstances that gave rise to the commencement of the proceedings; and 2) the prospect of reconciliation. [3] The Court may not find irretrievable breakdown as long as a reasonable prospect of reconciliation exists. [4]
In addition, a finding of irretrievable breakdown must be supported by evidence that either a) the parties have lived separate and apart for a period of not less than 180 days immediately preceding the date of service of the divorce petition; OR b) there is "serious marital discord adversely affecting the attitude of one or both of the parties toward the marriage." [5]
All that being said, be aware that contesting the divorce will add to the duration and expense of the case. Contesting the divorce itself can buy you some time during which to pursue reconciliation, and can be the leverage to obtain your spouse's agreement to therapy or other reconciliation efforts, but at the end of the day, a persistent party will be able to obtain the divorce.
At the same time, if your marriage is very important to you, contesting the divorce may be a way to save it. I have seen many reconciliations over the years, even in the worst of circumstances. It's uncommon, but it does happen, and is always wonderful to see.
So in conclusion, if you want to stop your divorce and save your marriage, don't give up, because you have the right to a trial on this issue, and because of the tardiness of the courts, by insisting on your right to trial on this issue, you can thereby buy yourself as much as 1 to 2 years during which to save your marriage.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Cone, Cornelia URN etd-04292008-140416 Document Title An analysis of the economic dimension of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo with recommendations for track one diplomacy Degree MA (International Relations) Department Political Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M Schoeman Supervisor Keywords
- peace

- natural resources

Date 2007-09-05 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe economic dimension of conflicts has enjoyed increasing attention in research dealing with the dynamics of contemporary conflict. The nexus between natural resources, economics and conflict has played a defining role in a number of Africa's most intractable conflicts during the 1990s and early 2000s. The underlying assumption of this study is that the economic dimension of conflict can be hugely informative in terms of an understanding as to why peace agreements fail and in that sense can contribute to the resolution of conflicts if taken into account during the formulation of peace agreements. This study explores the ways in which conflict theory has dealt with the conflict-economics nexus, analyzing the extent to which theory illuminates the conflict reality in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) during the period August 1998 to August 2004. It determines to what degree peace agreements in the DRC have taken the economic dimension and insights gained from the academic exploration of this topic into account during the negotiation and formulation of these agreements. In conclusion the study proposes a number of recommendations in terms of the peace process in the DRC with possible wider application for other peace agreements.

This cleanser would have been a much better option for skin if it didn't contain most of the natural ingredients Avalon included. The lavender and arnica are irritants, as are bergamot oil and the other fragrant oils this contains. These additives make this water-soluble cleanser a problem for all skin types. Plus, the coenzyme Q10 (listed by its technical name of ubiquinone) isn't an exciting ingredient in a cleanser, as it is just rinsed off before it can have any antioxidant benefits. Neutrogena, Eucerin, and Paula's Choice make much better cleansers for normal to dry skin, and all of them rinse better than this product.
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
Soap-free, botanical cleansers with White Tea and Sunflower gently lift away grime without drying or stripping. To hydrate and encourage skin renewal, CoQ10 and essential oils nourish and stimulate cellular turnover. Complexion appears smooth, firm, healthy and soft.

Avalon Organics is one of many companies owned by Hain-Celestial, a company that specializes in marketing "natural" products. Along with various food and beverage brands you often see lining the shelves of health food stores, Hain-Celestial is also behind several other cosmetics lines, including Alba Botanica, Jason Natural, and Zia Natural (and just to be clear, none of these are all natural in the least).
Avalon Organics is most similar to Alba Botanica, but strangely enough, Avalon in many ways is the inferior line. Relative to the Alba Botanica line, Avalon Organics products cost more and their formulas aren't nearly as state of the art. A major thumbs down for Avalon Organics is the fact that none of their sunscreens contains sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. In addition, many more of the Avalon Organics products contain irritating plant oils (lavender, orange), and almost all also feature a plant tea concoction that includes not only lavender but also arnica, a problematic plant if ever there was one (Sources: American Journal of Contact Dermatitis, June 1996, pages 94–99; and www.naturaldatabase.com). It is these natural ingredients that sabotage many of the Avalon Organics products.
It is indeed admirable that Avalon Organics is dedicated to organic farming and to sustainable agricultural practices that improve the environment, but such a mission doesn't translate into great skin-care: farming is one issue, but brilliantly formulated products is another. In this case you can't rely on Avalon products to take care of your skin without some careful consideration. There are a handful of recommended products to consider, especially if you prefer a ratio of ingredients that favors natural over synthetic. (Note, however, this is not an all-natural line, any more than munching on Skittles candy is like eating real fruit.) But taking "the time to honor yourself" (Avalon's statement) by using products only from their line, or being swayed by this brand's "Consciousness in Cosmetics" for the sake of your skin, would be a mistake.
For more information about Avalon Organics, call (888) 659-7730 or visit www.avalonorganics.com.
Note: Avalon uses the term "other essential oils" on their ingredient lists, which does not comply with FDA or international regulations. These regulations state that you must list by name ALL the individual ingredients you include in your product for this category of ingredients.

Here is some Product Information on Ashampoo
Microsoft Windows may have become more advanced but the need for effective maintenance is greater than ever. If you dont houseclean your computer system regularly the digital garbage that collects over time makes it slower and can even cause inexplicable errors usually when you need them least.
With the reliability of 11 years of experience, Ashampoo WinOptimizer 6 makes Windows maintenance fast and easy and it works for Windows XP just as well as it does for Vista and Windows 7. The One-click Optimizer does what it says and you can even schedule it to run automatically so that you dont need to think about it at all. It keeps your Windows computer running as fast and smoothly as on the first day you bought it.
In addition to efficient Windows maintenance you also get a whole suite of powerful, easy-to-use tools that enable you to configure and tune your Windows computer so that it works exactly the way you want it to.
AntiSpy Module New!
A growing number of Windows services and application programs like to phone home and inform Microsoft or their manufacturers about a variety of things, ranging from crash reports to user behavior. Many users dont like this and at least want to be able to choose whether these programs should do this or not. The new AntiSpy module provides settings that let you control the spying behavior of both Windows and these programs. Configuration options are included for a number of Windows system settings, Windows Media Player, the Windows error reporting service and others.
Context Menu Manager New!
Configure and control your right-click context menus in Windows. See New Features below for full details.
Hard Disk Defragmenter New Version!
Keeps your hard disks at maximum efficiency all the time. Now better than ever with top Vista performance. See New Features below for full details.
One-Click Optimizer Improved
This is the most popular function in WinOptimizer, literally enabling you to clean up and tune up your entire Windows system with a single click, using the optimum settings to eliminate garbage data and Registry entries and defragment your hard drive. Now more efficient and faster than ever.
Drive Cleaner Improved
As time goes on Windows collects an amazing number of useless, garbage files that just clog up your system. Drive Cleaner reliably and safely identifies and deletes these files, freeing up space and removing dead weight. The new version has a significantly improved scan algorithm for even faster performance, and better cleaning results.
Registry Optimizer Improved
The central Windows Registry database contains all the configuration and performance settings for Windows and most of your application programs. Like the hard drive it too gets clogged up with garbage data as time goes on. Registry Optimizer finds and eliminates old, redundant and broken Registry entries that can slow down your computer and cause unnecessary errors. The new version is faster, delivers better performance and is even safer than before.
Internet Cleaner Improved
This tool finds and deletes all traces of your Internet surfing sessions to protect your privacy and increase your security. It also deletes the temporary Internet files that take up megabytes of space on your hard drives. The new version supports the latest generation of web browsers, including browser derivates based on leading browser engines.
Windows Tweaking Tools Improved
This amazingly useful module gives you direct access to hundreds of Windows and application configuration and performance settings, enabling you to fine-tune your system to make it behave exactly as you want. All the settings are explained and backups are made automatically so that you can return to the original settings at any time. Many settings are difficult or impossible to access in other ways. The new version adds many new options, including secret Windows settings and tweaks.
System Benchmark Improved
Check out the performance of your Windows computer and compare it with other users systems. The new version has direct access to an online database of all users who have submitted their benchmarking results so that you can see how your system stacks up.
StartUp Tuner
Lists all processes and programs started automatically with Windows and enables you to enable or disable them temporarily or permanently. Also includes Internet Explorer plugins, which you can both view and delete if you want. Eliminates the annoyance of unnecessary programs that just waste your time, slow down your computer and interfere with important applications. Also clearly identifies the essential programs that shouldnt be disabled.
Process Manager
Lists all programs and processes running on your system and enables you to terminate them forcibly if necessary. Makes it easy to get rid of frozen windows caused by crashed applications and can help to identify malicious programs. Provides detailed explanations on the processes listed and clearly identifies essential system processes that should never be terminated.
File Undeleter
Eliminates the horror of accidentally deleted files. Works on all Windows file systems (NTFS, FAT-16, FAT-32) and even on compressed and encrypted NTFS files and deleted files on USB thumb drives. Displays the health status of located deleted files and shows the chances of full or partial recovery. Even if you only need it once youll be grateful forever.
File Wiper
Enables you to sell old computers and drives or provide access to your existing ones with confidence that nobody can access your data. If your hard drives and other media have ever contained sensitive information you want to make absolutely sure that its really gone before it gets into the wrong hands. File Wiper uses military standard deletion algorithms to completely eliminate all traces of the original data so that even hackers and data recovery labs cant restore it.
File Splitter & Joiner
Enables you to break up large files into more manageable chunks that are easier to save to disks or send by email. The joiner function then puts the chunks together again to restore the original files.
Real- time Backup
WinOptimzers integrated Real-Time Backup system monitors everything you change on your computer with the program and creates automatic recovery backups. This makes it possible to return to your original settings at any time.
DiskSpace Explorer and System Information
DiskSpace Explorer provides detailed information on the contents of all the drives in your computer by folders and file type, enabling you to identify files that are taking up space. System Information does the same for your hardware, giving you a full list of all your computer components, system software and drivers. You can also generate reports that are very helpful for support staff when you are trying to identify errors.
File Encrypter & Decrypter
Fast and safe file protection for important information, using the extremely strong Blowfish algorithm. You can also create self-unpacking decrypted files for sending to other people they just need to double-click on the file and enter the password to unpack it.
Vista Sidebar Gadget
This useful tool gives you direct access to all the cleaner modules of WinOptimizer from the Vista Sidebar including the One-Click Optimizer. Just click in the Sidebar to access your WinOptimizer tools fast.
Visual Styler
Change the appearance of your Windows system and give it your own unique look by replacing system and other icons and applying transparency effects to individual windows.
Icon Saver
Have you ever made changes to the arrangement of the icons on your Windows desktop and then wished you hadnt? Icon saver enables you to save and recover multiple Windows desktop configurations with all the icons and their positions. Just select an old setup to restore your old desktop.
New Features in Version 6
Defrag 3 Disk Defragmenter and Service As you use your hard disk the information on it becomes fragmented, making your computer slower. The brand-new Defrag 3 disk defragmenter does the best job ever of defragmenting your hard disks and it comes with a new background service that automatically keeps your hard drives defragmented whenever your computer is idle. The advanced new Boot Time Defragmentation makes Windows start faster. You can run Defrag 3 manually or schedule it to run at regular times or intervals. The continuous background service with a new predictive defragmentation algorithm actually prevents fragmentation before it can happen. It automatically cuts in and defragments your hard disk when your computer is idle, never interfering with your work or other programs. The result is hard disks that are always freshly defragmented.
New features:
* Manual, scheduled and automatic defrag options
* Completely new advanced defrag algorithm
* New Boot Time defrag makes Windows start faster
* Powerful, efficient and safe for maximum performance
* Radically improved Windows Vista support
* Exceptionally efficient, very low system load and memory use
* Preview of current hard disk fragmentation with analysis
* Include in One-Click Optimization
AntiSpy Module
This module provides a collection of settings for Windows services and other programs that like to phone home and tell Microsoft or their manufacturers about your computer and what you are doing. The settings let you control and stop this behavior to protect your privacy and security, for example for Windows Media Player, the Windows error reporting service and others.
* Automatic configuration with selectable profiles
* Additional individual configuration options for full control
* Full support for both Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7
Context Menu Manager
The new Context Menu Manager enables you to view and manage the contents of right-click context menus in Windows, giving you full control. Popup context menus are displayed when you click the right button on your mouse. Theyre useful and configurable and many programs add entries to them to allow you to give you direct access to special functions. The Context Menu Manager gives you detailed information on all the entries and enables you to activate or deactivate them for individual and multiple file types.
Favorites Tab
The new Favorites tab makes using WinOptimizer 6 even easier by giving you direct access to the functions and modules you use most frequently. The program automatically lists the functions you use in the Favorites tab so that you can return to them quickly. Once youve used a function or module it becomes even easier to use it again. In addition to this the tab also displays interesting information on how you use the program functions date of use, frequency of use, last use and so on.

Ashampoo runs promos of their products on a very regular basis. Some of their promos are for the general public while others are specific for magazine subscribers.
Running my own website that posts regularly about these types of things, I am sorry to say but this freebie is not for the general public. It is a magazine specific freebie meant only for magazine readers/subscribers - someone leaked the registration link.
If you don't believe me contact Ashampoo and they will set you straight.

Re: Free! Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2010 Advanced v6.501 (System Optimizer) ($49.99 Value)!
Here is one for you. I am not sure if you know this or not but Microsoft offered Windows 7 for free via MSDNAA (the academic version of MSDN). So many people wrongfully took advantage of the fact (i.e. non-students were signing up via different methods and getting Windows 7 for free) Microsoft pulled Windows 7 from MSDNAA. Currently they are "reevaluating" the situation; who knows if Windows 7 will be put back up. I would be mighty pissed if I was a student who missed out because of the actions of other people who had no right interfering in the first place.
Of course the above mentioned Windows 7 issue is a worse case scenario that only occurs if a promotion gets too popular but nonetheless it gets my point across.

Dawn is working on getting her life back!
I don't really think about him much anymore. I mean, there are days. There always will be. But it's mostly just those days when I'm having a hard time because I'm on my own now. He's been there from the beginning, taking care of me. So doing it on my own is something I've never had to do. I'm having a hard time getting it right. My biggest fear is failing with my youngest daughter. She is acting out now and I know it's because her dad isn't there. I don't know how to make it better for her. But we have survived this long without him. I can't give up now. I have to keep trying. Living without him hurts so much less than it did a year ago. Now I just have to learn to take care of us.

TBESC Task Order 12 Update:
Primary Care Management of LTBI and TB Disease among Foreign-born
Populations: A Study of Barriers and Facilitators
Project Overview:
CDC, Seattle and King County Public Health Department, and the University of Washington have completed a 3-year study about the facilitators and barriers associated with the primary-care management of latent and active TB among immigrant populations. National surveillance data indicate that the highest incidence of TB disease within the United States occurs in recent immigrants from Mexico, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Effective TB control strategies require that primary care providers be adept at identifying active TB as well as managing persons with latent TB infection (LTBI).
The objectives of this study were to-
- Conduct formative research to describe the factors influencing the
efficient management of latent and active TB among primary care
providers caring for immigrants from Mexico, the Philippines, and
- Design, implement, and assess the impact of an educational
intervention to improve LTBI management in primary care; and
- Assess the effectiveness of this intervention on altering knowledge and attitude of primary care providers regarding LTBI testing and treatment.
This study was implemented in two phases. In Phase I, qualitative interviews were conducted, including focus groups and individual interviews with health care providers to elucidate aspects of primary care practice that impact TB testing and treatment management. Participants had to have practiced in primary care medicine (e.g., internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, women's health), have 3 or more years of medical experience, have practiced in their current setting at least 1 year, and have a patient population of at least 25% foreign-born individuals.
A total of 80 health care providers were interviewed. Major themes were identified by three reviewers and used to shape Phase II of this study. For the second phase (i.e., the intervention phase), a 1-hour didactic session was developed that integrated national and local TB epidemiology and reviewed the nuances of LTBI testing and treatment. A pre-intervention assessment composed of knowledge questions on the epidemiology of TB within the United States, risk groups for LTBI, interpretation of the tuberculin skin test, and LTBI treatment was administered to a group of primary care providers who did not participate in Phase I of this study.
The didactic session was presented by a local TB control expert to these primary care providers. A post-intervention assessment was administered to each participant 2 to 4 weeks after the didactic session. A comparison of pre- and post-intervention responses was used to assess the effectiveness of this intervention on changing the knowledge and attitudes of primary care physicians with regard to LTBI testing and treatment. The assessment tool and the didactic session materials can be found at www.ethnomed.org.
Preliminary Results:
A total of 92 primary care providers participated in Phase II (intervention phase) of this study. The mean age of participants was 47 years, of whom 52% were male and 64% were foreign born. Eighty percent of participants were either medical doctors (MDs) or doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), and 55% practiced in a federally qualified health center. Only 55% reported having some form of TB training in the past.
Responses to the knowledge questions showed that the intervention increased the provider's knowledge about patients who are at added risk for LTBI, particularly those who are HIV infected, and those who have the co-morbid conditions of renal failure, diabetes, and silicosis. The providers showed increased knowledge in the interpretation of the tuberculin skin test, especially in the settings of HIV, previous BCG vaccination, and recent exposure to an individual with active TB. Clinicians were updated to the fact that isoniazid, the mainstay for LTBI treatment, can be offered to all age groups who have latent infection if they have no other contraindications to the treatment.
In the pre-intervention assessment, over 70% agreed that provision of free isoniazid for LTBI treatment, a reliable treatment tracking system, better co-management of patients with the local TB clinic, and a public health effort to educate their patients were "very important."
Private practice physicians were more concerned about reimbursement for LTBI care, more likely to agree that insurance reimbursement impacted the care they delivered for LTBI, and more likely to be concerned about the financial implications of LTBI. In federally qualified health centers and public hospitals, physicians encouraged persons with LTBI to take treatment, even though LTBI conceptually was difficult to explain to their patients. Resources for billing and nursing support were more available to federally qualified health center clinicians and public sector clinicians than for private physicians.
An intervention to improve primary care providers' knowledge about LTBI testing and treatment among primary care providers for high-risk foreign-born groups was shown to increase key measures of knowledge. Measures of attitude generally endorsed the importance of LTBI, and indicated that LTBI was difficult to manage and required additional resources. A subgroup analysis of practice type revealed that private practice physicians worried more about finances and that reimbursement issues affected their care as compared to community-based clinicians. The intervention did not alter these attitudes, nor was it designed to do so. Future interventions to change attitudes toward LTBI testing and treatment should address these unique concerns of clinicians based on their practice settings.

13th Semiannual Meeting of the Tuberculosis Epidemiologic StudiesConsortium (TBESC)
The 13th Semiannual Meeting of the Tuberculosis Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC) convened July 16–17, 2008, in Seattle, Washington. The primary purpose of the TBESC is to conduct epidemiologic, behavioral, economic, laboratory, and operational research in TB prevention and control.
Over 80 persons participated in the meeting; attendees included CDC staff, TBESC principal investigators, project coordinators, and project-specific personnel. TBESC members and CDC staff presented results and gave updates on the status of ongoing research projects and activities.
Presentations included the following:
- Research gaps related to TB transmission
- Modeling of TB rates and implications for future research
- The draft Strategic Plan and ideas for new research
- Administrative updates on consortium-related activities
- Update on the Semiannual Tuberculosis Advisory Review (STAR) process
- Updates from the Publication and Presentations and External Relations Committees
- Update from the Translating Research into Practice (TRiP) Workgroup
In addition, spirited discussions were held at the meeting regarding the focus of future TBESC research; TBESC will undergo a recompetition in 2010. Ideas are currently being generated as to the scope and direction of TBESC projects. At the meeting, members also discussed the Strategic Planning Workgroup, whose purpose is to select a research concept that will provide a unifying focus for TB research in the next several years.
When not attending the meeting, TBESC attendees enjoyed Seattle's scenery, blue skies, and mild weather. Planning for the 14th semiannual meeting, scheduled for February 4–5, 2009, in Atlanta, is currently underway.
