During the 1970s the share of health care expenditure in Canadian GNP remained roughly stable, in the range of 7-71/2 percent of GNP, in marked contrast to its escalation in most other countries (the U.S. in particular) and to previous Canadian experience. The shift to a stable pattern coincided with the completion of the Canadian system of universal comprehensive public hospital and medical care insurance. This paper explores how and why the public insurance system served to contain cost escalation. It then discusses the inadequacy of expenditure experience per se as a basis for health system evaluation--the same data will support claims of both "underfunding" and "spiralling costs." More serious questions involve the influence of alternative patterns of health care funding and delivery on the effectiveness and efficiency of care provision, and the resulting distributional patterns of care and income. A brief sketch is given of the present situation and future possibilities of Canadian health care under these heads.

Tallahassee is both the capital of Florida and an upbeat college town. With plenty of recreational outdoor activities, artistic festivals, and a vibrant sports scene, renting an apartment in this sunny city will ensure that you always have something fun to look forward to.
Tallahassee was officially founded in 1821, though it wasn't until 1824 that the state legislature decided to locate the capital there as it served as a convenient midway point between the centers of St. Augustine and Pensacola.
Today, the city's population exceeds 186,000, and residents living here enjoy a balanced lifestyle filled with many amenities and opportunities. Lovers of the outdoors can take horseback riding lessons at Cherry Hill Farms. At Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park you can relax in one of the hammocks found within the 1,184 acres of natural gardens. For those who are also wine lovers, you'll enjoy a tour of the Monticello Organic Vineyard and Winery.
Environmental activists renting apartments here will find that their values strongly align with the Tallahassee lifestyle, as the city encourages residents to maintain a green lifestyle by strongly implementing recycling and community gardening, among other initiatives.
Sports fans will also find this city a good match. The Tallahassee Community College Eagles compete in men's and women's softball, basketball, and baseball teams, and there are also competitive Roller Derby and Rugby teams based in the city.
For those interested in entertainment and the arts, this city is also home to the Tallahassee Film Festival, the Tallahassee Wine and Food Festival, and the Southern Music Rising Festival, among others.
In terms of public transportation, StarMetro provides bus service throughout the city, and the CSX railroad also serves the city.
For apartment renters in Tallahassee looking to further their education, there are several options to consider. Two of the top schools in the area are Florida State University and Florida A&M University. You will also find students from Tallahassee Community College and the North Florida Cosmetology Institute, Inc. residing here.
Some of the primary industries driving the local economy in Tallahassee are in the government, education, and healthcare sectors, with the State of Florida, Florida State University, and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, among the top employers.

Models Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman were spotting doing what they do best…..selling clothes! See pics from two of the world's most famous faces on their recent photoshoots inside and get deets on some of their outside projects….
International fashionista and Victoria's Secret model Chanel Iman left her man ASAP Rocky's side long enough to pose for a photo shoot in New York City's Meatpacking District.
Yesterday, the IMG model donned a red leather jacket and zip-up bootie heels as she strutted down the neighborhood's cobblestoned streets looking effortlessly fabulous.
Later in the shoot, Chanel did a quick wardrobe change and paired a pair of Madonna-like lace gloves with a black leather jacket, a corseted bra top and black heels.
And after a long shoot in the sunlight, the rumored-flame of A$ AP Rocky treated herself to an ice cream cone. Of course.
In other Chanel Iman news….
The fresh faced model stars in a new fashion film, "Spectral" by Jenna Elizabeth which she recently tweeted to her followers. In the short film, Chanel models a few high-end garments and makes the eye examination process look more chic than even possible.
And across the pond in London……
British supermodel Jourdan Dunn posed with fellow hot chick Rosie Tapner in front of a 300-strong flashmob, invited by the Selfridges department store, for a new advertising campaign to launch its store-wide event 'Denim Lovers'.
Shot at the Old Selfridges Hotel in London, the unique campaign will feature hundreds of collated images of the models taken by the flash mob for online and digital billboards across the UK starting Monday, June 24.
Jordan, who's also a single mom to son Riley (who has sickle-cell disease), revealed during a recent interview that she was discovered while trying on sunglasses at a department store.
British hottie Jourdan is also quite the chef in the kitchen. And she recently shot a new episode of her online cooking show on Jay -Z's "Life + Times" channel with Wale. The duo got together and put their spin on Caribbean BBQ chicken. Yum!

BACKGROUND: In 2010, General Motors' brand, Chevrolet, made one of the largest voluntary commitments to greenhouse gas reductions in U.S. history. As part of this commitment, Chevrolet is investing in local, community-based carbon-reducing projects across America with a goal of reducing up to eight million tons of CO2 emissions throughout America. Chevrolet estimates the carbon reduction goal equates to the emissions released in 2011 from driving the 1.9 million new Chevrolet vehicles sold and driven in the U.S. between November 18, 2010 and December 31, 2011.
PARTNER NEED: Transacting for certified carbon reductions is not core to General Motor's business, and the size of this investment dwarfs typical transactions conducted within the U.S. voluntary carbon market. In order to manage such a large portfolio of projects and to conduct the due diligence necessary to attract the very best projects, General Motors sought an experienced and credible organization to act as its "buyer's agent."
SOLUTION: BEF's expertise in environmental commodities—including procurement, sales, and project development across a wide spectrum—made us an ideal candidate to perform this unique service to Chevrolet. In 2010, BEF was retained by GM to serve as their Carbon Supply Buyer's Agent and portfolio manager. Since the start of the Chevrolet Carbon Reduction Initiative, BEF has worked to develop a world-class portfolio of projects providing certified carbon reductions along with meaningful environmental benefits.
"The Chevy Carbon Reduction Initiative is really about taking our environmental progress on the vehicle side, and on the plant side a step further and proving our commitment in new and innovative ways that have direct impacts on communities across the country," said David Tulauskas in an article to Triple Pundit. "For every single project we decide to invest in, we not only look at carbon reductions, but also the impact that they're having on a community, and the technology that we may be supporting or incentivizing. This is something that if IdleAir or any other company could equip truck stops across the nation with to help them avoid idling, we would displace a lot of fuel and avoid a lot of carbon emissions."
Read full Triple Pundit interview …
Will California's cap and trade stifle low-carbon innovation?
OUTCOMES: Within the first two years of our engagement with GM, BEF developed and secured project agreements representing approximately 90% of Chevrolet's five-year carbon reduction goal. The portfolio includes: forestry, wind energy, biomass fuel-switch, landfill methane capture and use, pipeline heat recovery, prairieland conservation, truckstop electrification, naturally occurring coal bed methane capture, and a first-of-its-kind energy efficiency, low-income housing weatherization project.
INNOVATION: For the final 10% of the portfolio, Chevy has asked that BEF concentrate on developing new opportunities in carbon markets to support energy efficiency and renewable energy for higher education institutions. Very little opportunity currently exists within this sector to generate certified carbon reductions from efficiency or renewables. Therefore, BEF teamed up with Chevrolet's environmental advisors and a group of sector experts to pioneer new carbon methodologies that colleges and universities may utilize in the future to generate carbon credits for the market and to further on-campus energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities.
In partnership with Chevrolet, our goals in this final phase are twofold: first, to develop methodologies that allow Chevy to transact with these institutions for certified carbon credits to meet Chevrolet's carbon reduction goals. Second, to provide a legacy pathway that makes it possible for other corporations to support energy efficiency and renewables in schools and higher education institutions through the purchase of certified carbon offsets.
—David J. Tulauskas, Director of Sustainability, General Motors Company

A Trend for Less: Old Navy Colored Denim
If you basically live in jeans and t-shirts or tanks like I do, you know how boring that can get. But what good would it do to dress up to chase kids around, paint, go to the park, have applesauce flicked your way, etc?
One of the ways I've found to change things up a little is to hop on board with the colored denim trend while it lasts. Because I don't see it lasting for years and years, I started out by dabbling in the Old Navy selection of colorful denim; it's not worth the investment of higher-end pieces. I'll pay more for regular blue jeans, but pink? Green? Coral? Nah.
There are a couple of annoying things about the colored denim selection despite the surprising number of colors and sizes available, and if you're familiar with Old Navy clothing for women at all, you probably already know what they are:
- You should either go to the store so you can try the jeans on or order several sizes. Each pair of pants may fit differently, and you may need a completely different size in two different pairs of jeans. I have the Rockstar colored jeans, and I had to go up two sizes from the one I usually wear in Old Navy jeans. I found getting the right size of the colored denim much more difficult than finding the right size within their regular blue jeans line. This could be the case with their pencil skirts or even the jackets as well, but I can't speak for those.
- They tend to lose their shape throughout the day. This isn't a problem exclusive to Old Navy. A lot of my jeans have this problem. I can start the day without a belt and need one by 3:00. Still, it's worth mentioning because it's noticeable and annoying. Again, this may not be as much of an issue for skirts and jackets as it is for jeans.
One thing I was concerned about that didn't end up being an issue was the dye bleeding onto everything else. I bought the pink pair and had no issues when I washed them. They didn't dye my skin pink or rub color onto the fabric of my shirt or any seats throughout the day.
Even though there are some definite hurdles to jump when you're shopping for Old Navy's colored denim, I still recommend it because it's so much less expensive than other brands, plus the denim is lightweight and stretchy enough to move comfortably in.

This is a exfoliating gel without scrub particles its a gel that sticks to the deads skin. When applied to dry face and rubbed around the dead skin will just ball up. It is comparable to a popular japanese exfoliating gel. The only con is if your face has a lot of peach fuzz/hair it will stick to the hairs and hard to remove without using a face towel and fingers to pull the clumps off. Pulling the clumps off will yank some of the hairs off. If your hands have dead skin it will stick to your hands. Other than sticking to the hairs and annoying to remove it does work. After the skin has that squeaky feel and peeling flakey skin is gone. The face is slightly red from scrubbing with a towel and but it does go away. This is less harsh in terms that it doesn't contain large exfolating particles that can irritate and cause microfine cuts in the skin and leave your skin with red peeling flakey patches.

I've been reading a lot of reviews here so just to the people who aren't stuck on this product that's fine but keep in mind just because its not working for you doesn't mean it won't for other people. Myself like a lot of people stuffer with bad skin. I used the exfoliating gel and a few other products and after only one use my face is already improving!! My lumps are half their size and my scars are toned a little. I'm really impressed. For those who stated it dried their skin out I was told that would happen so I got the mask and the daily cream from fruitique as well! Good luck to anyone else I hope it works for you too!! :)

I don't care what anybody says, I love this product. Believe me, I am very cynical when it comes to products and am not easily fooled. At first, I was a little skeptical when I bought this but even I have to admit that it works. Not all peeling gels are created equal and some are just bottles of junk. However, this one actually works.
This really exfoliates the skin. I've been using it for 6-8 months once or twice a week and have gotten very good results. It's a clear gel that smells of papaya enzymes, which has kind of a bitter scent. I wash my face, wait until it dries, then rub this on my face for about 30 seconds. In that short amount of time it thoroughly exfoliates my skin, believe it or not. Afterwards, my skin is glowing and very smooth. It has never irritated my skin or broken me out.
It's not the product balling up; it's dead skin. How do I know this? Well, I did a little experiment. I tested it on the back of my hand. The skin on my hands was very dry and really needed to be exfoliated. I used one pump on the back of my hands, massaged it in and of course TONS of dead skin came off. Okay, I rinsed, dried and repeated the process. Guess what? No dead skin the second time around! The product didn't "ball" up; it just turned to liquid. If it was the product itself balling up, then why didn't it happen the second time? You see, it only exfoliates DEAD skin cells. You can't over exfoliate with this product and that's why I love it so much. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially those with sensitive skin.

Don't get fooled like I did. This is not exfoliating your dead skin .Got sucked into buying this because of reading reviews on Japanese cleaners. I thought " Wow, day after day, more dead skin off. "Then I looked at Chemists Corner for information about these formulations and how they work. They said its actually the formula ingredients balling up on your skin ( the reaction takes place on skin only, not counters or books or anywhere else you try and rub it) but consumers like to believe its dead skin. Big fail.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT! Tried it last night. It's a very light watery gel. You put it on dry clean skin and rub in for 30 seconds and it instantly balls up your dead skin cells and takes them away. I rinsed it off very easily (don't know why the comments about it doesnt come off easilyl) and i felt my face. SMOOTHER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN. I have some chin acne and even smoothed that out. I also tried the Apricot Mask afterward. Two very very amazing products. It says to only use twice a week but i'm going to do it every other day and see what happens. My skin is very not sensitive. WOW! RUN OUT AND BUY THIS IMMEDIATELY! !!!!! If i could give this product 100 stars i would! It cost $10 with a coupon at Sally's. Amazing!

This is my first review, but it was worth writing about. I once used a dead sea mineral exfoliant gel when I worked at the mall and got suckered into buying it. I had 3 part time jobs though and I was a lot younger, so I didn't have a solid skin care routine set up, and I didn't even end up finishing the jar. Lately my skin has been drying up and my pores are large so I looked into getting the Cure cleansing gel from Japan, because that dead sea mineral gel exfoliant worked so well!! It's 30 dollars right now on amazon, and although I've heard for the most part its worth the money, I spent an awful long time looking for a dupe. Someone from MUA pointed me to this from their Cure review. I have sensitive skin that goes between combination and dry, with redness, which is why I have been looking for something without a manual exfoliant. This did not make the redness worse, and it made my skin glow afterward. I use this at night so I don't have to worry about any increased sensitivity to the sun (even with spf care, my pale skin will turn really red in the heat). When I put on products after I use Frutique, they seem to work better, making my skin soft even upon waking. I read some reviews talking about how when the gel balled up, it would stick to hair and was a pain to get off. I didn't have that problem, but I did rinse it off fairly quickly because I read that. However, sometimes my skin will have a bit of tackiness afterward, but it goes away immediately after I put my night cream on my damp face. Hope this helped :)

I'd been reading up on Japanese skincare recently, and enjoying the results, so I thought I'd give this (cheaper) product a try before buying the Cure stuff others have mentioned.
I got sucked in because Sally's had a buy 1, get 1 on the Frutique line, so I got the cleanser and the exfoliator. Turns out I liked them both so well I got more exfoliator gel and the rest of the line, LOL!
For me, the exfoliating gel is a bit rough for my face, but it's perfect for my elbows and upper arms, my hands, my chest, feet, legs and other bits that need a bit of exfoliating that aren't quite as sensitive.
I rub it on before I get in the shower, then rinse and rub gently with a puff to get it off, then get on with the rest of my shower.
The main thing I notice is that the product tends to ball up around strands of hair, so if you've got a peach-fuzzy face like me, it might be a bit of a hassle. (Most of the hair on my face is translucent, pretty much invisible unless you look REALLY closely in the mirror. Hard to see, but there.) I think, for me, the irritation from the product is related to all the hair pulling that seems to be an inevitable result of removing the little balls of product. I could be wrong, and as I say, I'll mostly be using this on parts of my body that aren't quite so prone to redness, so it won't really be an issue.
Another thing: Do NOT get this stuff in your hair! Mine's pretty long, and when I got a bit of product on it, it was kind of hard to remove, in fact, I had to work pretty hard to rinse it away. Definitely not something I want to repeat.

I initially really liked this product. The first 2/3 times it was great! My skin was smooth, glowing and soft to touch. After using it for about 2 weeks my OILY skin was becoming dry and tight =( I was using this 2/3 time a week.
This product does last a long time, and the packaging is easy to use nice pump bottle however it is just too harsh for my skin and is not all that natural. I think this would be good for people that don't have sensitive skin. You certainly get exfoliation, a little too much! I switched over to a actual natural product. Indian Glow-ubtan( see my review on Indian Glow Face and Body Exfoliator- Ubtan) This is a few dollars more but works wonders as if u were getting professional facials every week.
Bottom line: This is a good exfoilator, but if you have sensitive skin I would not recommended because it exfoliates too much and it's a bit harsh. If your skin is not as sensitive I think this is a good product.

what a cool ptoduct. i bought this yesterday at sallys after asking the sales associate for a good exfoliator for my face. I ended up buying it, bringing it home and using it right away to see what all the hype was about. I loved it! it got rid of dead skin i was convinced i didnt even have- sering as though just shortly before i washed my fave with an exfoliating cleaner and i used my nutregena wave. Found out there was a whole lot more dead skin still there... was amzing how the product worked. Afterward, my skin was glowing, and it was extremely soft. I am giving this product 4and lippies because trying to get all the dead skin shedding off your face is more work than what it seems. i had to take an exfoliating sponge to get it all off- some of the skin was ultra stuburn to get off... and it took longer than what i would normally take for another exfoliant. overall its a great product and i would highly recommend it to other viewers! <3

This is a dupe for the Japanese product Cure. After searching for about a year for a product that works like Cure (without the $40 price tag), I read some reviews that pointed me to Frutique. I just bought it today for about $14 and I can say that it does work the same. The only difference I can tell is that it very sticky. I have to wash my face again after using this. But totally worth it!

Ive been taking it for over 2 weeks now and I feel so awesome. I have so much more energy and I hardly eat much for lunch or dinner. It has also made me want to walk more and take my dogs out for walks. I feel the difference already and even though the scale in only down 3 pounds, I feel great and my clothes are feeling more loose. I would recommend this for anyone who is thinking about trying something natural to give them energy and to help them lose weight.Source: Raspberry Ketone Diet Pills

Howdy. Those are both very good physical exercises for various causes. Neither calls for much in the method of gear to perform your current workouts. Each have numerous Dvd disks to maintain the variety level intriguing and to target distinct muscles and physique places. If youd like exactly where you will be able to include your own personal cardio routines more I would advocate Rushfit. Otherwise I would advocate Tapout XT. You genuinely can not go incorrect with either but based upon every one of the variables I would opt for rushfit considering that it really is less costly and it has just as very good a good work out plan in my view. I give the edge to Tapout XT slightly if you would like more an MMA style workout. Great success! Source: www.fadehi.org

Original story lower on page. Link to AZ Family coverage of story here
Link to CPS Info Release Nathaniel_Lopez_3_26_2013
8-3-13 Updated
There has been talk over the past couple months that Kyron Grow may be released on the murder charges related to the death of 3-year-old Nathaniel Lopez. There are a lot of questions about why his case is not listed on the AZ Case Lookup website.
Well it is very well hidden from the public and once found it contains little information. You wouldn't even know that it was Grow's case unless you look at the Case Minutes on the page. Please do so before asking h0w we know it's his case. Here is a link to Grow's case on AZ Case Lookup website.
Scroll down page to see Kyron Grow's case
Here are the only Case Minutes posted in Grow's case, they show that a Jury Trial before Judge Duber is scheduled for January 8, 2014, before a 12 person jury. They anticipate the trial will last 7 days.
While there is little information, if you look at the case page for Marcelina Rich under Case Activity Marcelina Rich Case, you will see that in May after the Plaintiff (the State) filed MISCELLANEOUS: Disclosures, there were also 2 "Orders" that followed. This is the same the same that shows on the Case Activity for Grow. Here are the only Case Minutes posted in Rich's case Marcelina Rich Minutes.
There are two differences in Rich's case activity, it says that there was motion to Modify Conditions of Probation back on the 12th of July . Not sure what that is about. And there was a motion made to designate the case as a Complex Case.
Since Grow is charged with First Degree Murder his case is automatically designated as a Complex Case. Since Rich was charged with Second Degree Murder the court would have to make that designation and they did on the 18th of July, 2013. This what I found on Complex Case designation
While this link is to documents intended for Maricopa County it is an Administrative Order from THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA so it applies to all AZ Superior Courts. Here is a copy of that order Complex Case.
All First Degree Murder cases will be automatically designated as complex by Court Administration at the time of arraignment, pursuant to Rule 8.2(a)(3).
In all other criminal cases that any party wishes to be designated as complex, a detailed written Motion for Complex Case Designation shall be filed with the assigned trial judge no later than 60 days from arraignment. The motion shall be accompanied by a proposed form of order setting forth the factual findings supporting designating the case as complex.
So while we have no solid answers on where Grow's case stands, it doesn't appear that there has been any unusual activity that would show that it is going in a different direction that Rich's case. We will continue to request from the court that more information on this case's status be made available to the public.
Original Story….
On March 26, 2013 Deputies from the Gila County Sheriff's Office responded to the Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center in reference to a report of possible child abuse. The victim three year old Nathaniel Lopez was flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital with life threatening injuries and succumbed to his injuries later that afternoon. 29 year old, Marcelina Rich and 37 year old, Kyron Grow have been arrested in connection with the death of Nathaniel Lopez. Currently we are unable to release any further details as the investigation is on-going. Also read the story from KPHO CBS 5

'Blue is the Warmest Color' and Latest Coen Brothers Film Win Top Honors at 2013 Cannes Film Festival
Cannes Film Festival By Christopher Campbell on May 26, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThree-hour lesbian drama Blue is the Warmest Color was announced the winner of the prestigious Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, a choice that many foresaw as likely but not a sure thing. The jury that awarded the honor was led by Steven Spielberg and also included Nicole Kidman, Ang Lee, Christoph Waltz and Lynne Ramsay. For the second place Grand Prix winner, they picked the latest from the Coen Brothers, Inside Llewyn Davis, while for Jury Prize (considered the third biggest deal) they chose Hirokazu Kore-eda's Like Father, Like Son. Like Father, Like Son was also recipient of an honorable mention from the Christian-based Ecumenical Jury, whose top prize went to The Past — the star of which, Bérénice Bejo, was named Best Actress by the main Cannes jury. Blue is the Warmest Color also earned multiple honors from the fest, taking the critic choice FIPRESCI Award for the In Competition category. The biggest surprise of today's announcement seems to be Spielberg and Co.'s naming of Bruce Dern as Best Actor for the new film from Alexander Payne, Nebraska. After the jump, you can find a full list of main jury winners (from the festival website) and other honorees announced over the weekend accompanied by links to our review of the film where available.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Scruffy!
Facts about Scruffy
- Breed: Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Mix

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Scruffy, a Antioch Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier for sale in Antioch, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Antioch.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Antioch already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Antioch breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier breeders who help with Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Antioch paves the way for another one to be saved.

Though high-profile cases – such as a pair of shootings that left two local women dead last month – make headlines from time to time, domestic violence occurs largely under society's radar.
"I think it's still a hidden crime," said Sharon Lindsay, the domestic violence coordinator for the Chesterfield County Police Department. For the most part, instances of domestic violence still happen behind closed doors, she said, and most victims are still reluctant to reach out for services.
Yet, "these are sometimes life-threatening situations and they can escalate so quickly," said Lindsay, who has a master's degree in social work. "They are just dangerous, volatile situations where people sometimes act impulsively and in ways that are hard to predict."
Two such situations spiraled out of control on Wednesday, June 23.
Misty D. Bessette, 25, was killed during a domestic-related shooting at her home in the 6300 block of Seti Court in the Kings Forest subdivision, according to information from police.
Police arrived at the scene at about 7 p.m. and found Bessette dead from an apparent gunshot would. Her 17-year-old boyfriend has been charged with second degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, police said.
Little more than an hour later, Richard E. Parker, 56, shot and killed his wife, Cindy, 45, at Pietro's Italian Restaurant on Jefferson Davis Highway, according to police. Parker also shot Michael Dudley, an 18-year-old Thomas Dale High School graduate who attempted to intervene in the domestic dispute.
Parker is charged with second degree murder, malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Domestic violence "doesn't start off with someone threatening someone with a gun," Lindsay said. Sometimes, it begins by the abuser taking more and more control of the victim, she said.
"A lot of the work that I do is people call me about a loved one," Lindsay said, and she appreciates those opportunities to share information about the dynamics of domestic violence with someone who can share it with the victim. "People are much more likely to respond to a loved one. … That can go a long way toward preventing acts of abuse from happening."
There are a number of warning signs of abuse, she said.
"I think anytime you see one person exerting what you would consider an unusual amount of control or monitoring … that's definitely a red flag," she said. "Anytime you think that somebody is afraid of their partner, that's a red flag."
Injuries that don't make sense should also be cause for concern, she said, and "children are a great indicator of what seems to be going on." Stalking and monitoring through cell phones is also a problem; Lindsay said she's met with victims whose phones wouldn't stop ringing because the abuser was calling to find out where they were.
The risk of domestic violence increases when one partner is trying to leave the relationship, she said.
"Many of our police calls are third-party calls," she said. People can be more proactive, and, if they suspect abuse, ask a friend or loved one about the signs they're seeing, she said.
"If they're witnessing a situation going on right now, call 9-1-1," she said. If they hear about a situation after the fact, they should call a non-emergency number. And they don't have to call the police, she said. They can call a number of hotlines and talk to civilians who are trained and understand the resources available to victims of domestic abuse, she said.
"Whoever is connected should call," she said. Many people aren't aware of resources available for victims, such as free weekly support groups in English and Spanish, or other information, such as the fact that someone can take out a protective order against a person without getting that person arrested for domestic assault, she said.

The Board of Directors works with the Executive Director to ensure we meet our mission statement and work toward the future goals of the Humane Society.About Our Shelter:
The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society was founded in 1967 by a group of determined women (private citizens) that recognized and wanted to care for lost, abandoned and stray animals in our community and provide them a chance for new homes.The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society was incorporated on January 27, 1967. The group convinced the City of Wenatchee to allow them to take over the old city pound on Worthen Avenue and Animal Control in 1974. Because the conditions were overcrowded, Gwyneth and Bruce Mitchell donated orchard land and our current shelter was built and opened in 1976. Soon the Humane Society discovered we needed more dog kennels and added on to the building in 1980.
In June of 2003, the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society opened Club Pet Boarding & Grooming. Club Pet is a boarding and grooming facility owned and operated by the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. All revenues generated by Club Pet are used to support the Humane Societys orphaned pets, on-going programs and future goals. Club Pets mission is to provide a fun, safe and caring environment for your owned pets while you are away.
Now for 2010 we are moving in the direction to build a new facility as we have outgrown our current shelter. We look forward to continuing to grow and help the animals that depend on us in our community.

He offered a nuts-and-bolts presentation of what is possible with varying degrees of interactivity, and the minimum newsroom resources and know-how (a three-person team with a point man, which he likened to Charlie's Angels) to pitch and produce such a project.
Boyle's matter-of-fact lecture contrasted with a talk the next day by Henry Jenkins, the co-director of MIT's comparative media program, whose talk moved farther away from the realm of traditional journalism. Jenkins stressed the lessons for reporters in modern pop culture, highlighting video games like Spore, a Sim City-like product that allows users to create a life form and put it through the rigors of evolution. "This is usually something that's covered on the entertainment page," he told the crowd, "But shouldn't science journalists be engaging with a game like Spore on the science page and explaining the underlying principles?" It was good point, but Jenkins doesn't want reporters to merely cover these games, he wants them to emulate them in news packages. "Traditional journalism doesn't ask [readers] to do anything," he said, and creative new Web sites, "teach the public to think scientifically rather than just report science." But many of Jenkins' examples seemed to blur the line between genuine reportage and educational toys.
"I feel a bit queasy about the role of science journalism in this-it feels like too much PR," said a reporter from the journal Science. "Is there a way to define journalism that is separate from all these other worlds?" asked another.
Mindy McAdams, who teaches journalism technology at the University of Florida, spoke after Jenkins and reinforced a few of his points while drawing the discussion back to the type of story-telling that most people in the room were familiar with. Like it or not, she said, "Journalists need different hooks to communicate with today's YouTube and videogame generations." McAdams, however, was very careful to point out that she was "not saying that you should stop writing long stories," but rather was encouraging journalists to think about "layering" their stories in ways that were not possible before, and "letting the reader choose what he or she wants to do next." The conference-goers seemed fairly impressed, or at least more comfortable, with McAdams' suggestions and examples, although a few questioned whether research data supports the contention that fancy graphics actually boost readership of long stories and encourages people to spend more time on a publication's Web site.
The subject of multiple layers of multimedia came off as more unfamiliar and unconventional than blogging, which Rensberger only half-jokingly referred to as "old-fashioned" by the end of the conference, and which got less attention overall. Clive Thompson, who runs the blog Collision Detection and contributes to The New York Times Magazine and Wired, talked up many of its benefits, however, saying that it keeps him "hungry for fresh material" and improves the way he thinks and acts as a journalist. "There's a cognitive advantage in having a blog," he said. Thompson stirred up a little disagreement, though, when he pointed to a post he'd written the day before, titled "Why C-section births might cause eczema in babies." It was based on the press release for a study in a clinical journal, which reported that babies that do not pick up enough of a certain bacteria during vaginal birth are more likely develop eczema. The release didn't actually mention caesarean sections, however, and a few audience members questioned the responsibility of extrapolating such a conclusion. Thompson defended blogs as a place to explore ideas and pose logical questions.
Another of the meeting's contentious moments came when Dianne Lynch, dean of the communications school at Ithaca College, delivered a speech about independent journalism. She suggested that communities without an aggressive local news outlet could hire a reporter to investigate local issues, such as school governance. This raised ethical flags with a number of journalists.
It was a lot to absorb in one conference. But despite a few misgivings about certain data, trends, and proposals, the journalists in attendance were generally optimistic about the future. There is a lot of pessimism and prognostication about the decline of science journalism at the moment, as there is in the media industry at large, but it's hard to worry too much with such large group of talented reporters who are determined to both innovate and elevate standards.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. | 1 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. |
2 And when the sabbath day was come , he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished , saying , From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? | 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! |
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary , the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. | 3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. |
4 But Jesus said unto them , A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. | 4 Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." |
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. | 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. |
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching . | 6 And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. |
7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; | 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits. |
8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: | 8 These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. |
9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. | 9 Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. |
10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. | 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. |
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. | 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them." |
12 And they went out , and preached that men should repent . | 12 They went out and preached that people should repent. |
13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. | 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them. |
14 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said , That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. | 14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him." |
15 Others said , That it is Elias. And others said , That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. | 15 Others said, "He is Elijah." And still others claimed, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago." |
16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said , It is John, whom I beheaded : he is risen from the dead. | 16 But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!" |
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. | 17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. |
18 For John had said unto Herod , It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. | 18 For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." |
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: | 19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, |
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. | 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him. |
21 And when a convenient day was come , that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords , high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; | 21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. |
22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in , and danced , and pleased Herod and them that sat with him , the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt , and I will give it thee. | 22 When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you." |
23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. | 23 And he promised her with an oath, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom." |
24 And she went forth , and said unto her mother, What shall I ask ? And she said , The head of John the Baptist. | 24 She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptist," she answered. |
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked , saying , I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. | 25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter." |
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him , he would not reject her. | 26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. |
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought : and he went and beheaded him in the prison, | 27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, |
28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. | 28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. |
29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. | 29 On hearing of this, John's disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. |
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done , and what they had taught . | 30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. |
31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going , and they had no leisure so much as to eat . | 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." |
32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately . | 32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. |
33 And the people saw them departing , and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. | 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. |
34 And Jesus, when he came out , saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. | 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. |
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said , This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: | 35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. |
36 Send them away , that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat . | 36 Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat." |
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat . And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat ? | 37 But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages ! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?" |
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye ? go and see . And when they knew , they say , Five, and two fishes. | 38 "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five--and two fish." |
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. | 39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. |
40 And they sat down in ranks , by hundreds, and by fifties. | 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. |
41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed , and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. | 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. |
42 And they did all eat , and were filled . | 42 They all ate and were satisfied, |
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. | 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. |
44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. | 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand. |
45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. | 45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. |
46 And when he had sent them away , he departed into a mountain to pray . | 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. |
47 And when even was come , the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. | 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. |
48 And he saw them toiling in rowing ; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. | 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, |
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out : | 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, |
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled . And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer : it is I; be not afraid . | 50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." |
51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased : and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered . | 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, |
52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened . | 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened. |
53 And when they had passed over , they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore . | 53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. |
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, | 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. |
55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was . | 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. |
56 And whithersoever he entered , into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole . | 56 And wherever he went--into villages, towns or countryside--they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed. |

Tower maintenance
Conventional wisdom holds that you start at the bottom and work your way to the top. There are very few jobs in broadcasting where one can start at the top; but tower maintenance is the one where it is best to start at the top and work down. At one time it was not unusual for engineers to climb their towers to change lamps. Fortunately today, with OSHA and more tower climbers being available, the highest most engineers go is to check the current loop position on a DA.
Beacons and lightning rods are often forgotten until a lamp fails or a bad strike takes out some equipment. Lightning rods are a very good investment in handling lightning, and a few dollars spent here can often save a lot of down time. If it is possible, beacons and other items at the tower top should be checked regularly, and results should be entered in the maintenance log. Particular attention should be paid to glass fittings and seals to keep moisture out. Some engineers keep a lamp life tally and change lamps before failure if total hours are high when a tower is climbed for another purpose. These same people have been known to measure and record voltages at the lamp sockets.
An AM tower's base insulator is a crucial part of the structure and must be checked for cracks and other structural wear. |
The tower log should also include outages and details and the quarterly FCC mandated tower light inspections. I've visited many stations where there was no record of this vitally important tower light inspection for a very long time. Even when tower light inspections were done, the important check of the beacon flasher cut-in sensitivity was often omitted. A combination inspection/log keeps all tower data in a convenient location, and space can be provided for noting FAA notification and restoration of service after a reportable failure.
Paint should be examined for discoloring and chipping. Rust indications coming through paint should be investigated for internal rusting. Bolts must be checked for presence and tightness. It's easy to pass over a loose bolt that has lost its nut when paint has obscured the loose head. Many engineers like to insert bolts upwards so that a bolt that looses its nut will fall out and leave a gaping hole that advertises the lost bolt.
All items attached to the tower must be checked for tightness and bolts must be replaced as necessary. Devices that carry RF or rely on metal-to-metal contact on the tower should be examined and contact surfaces should be cleaned and secured as needed.
Not just the towerIt is extremely important to check guy insulators at the tower attachment points. Any cracked or broken insulators can cause changes in operating parameters. If operating logs show such indications, and other faults have not shown up, these might be good places to look. In most AM towers, top guy wires shorting to the tower are the most likely to affect base operating resistance. Johnnyballs should be examined using field glasses if possible, and guy wires must be shaken while operating parameters are checked for indications of undesired contact.
Guy wire greasing seems to be somewhat neglected these days except for tall towers. It is worth considering this operation when performing tower maintenance. Over the years, guy wires do rust and are not often examined for tensile strength. How often does the average station check the guy tensions? How often is the tower itself checked for perpendicularity?
Turnbuckles must be checked for security and the presence of locking wires. While looking at guy anchors and turnbuckles, anchorbase conditions must be examined. Over the years, a leaning tower or overtightened guy can loosen guy anchors. Concrete also deteriorates over the years, and anchors must be examined for cracking and failure to hold.
Guy anchors and guy wires must be kept clear of growth. |
The tower structure itself must be checked for loose and missing bolts (especially in the case of AM towers) for clean and good electrical contact between leg sections. Welds should be checked on welded towers. Every tower should have good continuity between leg sections to minimize lightning damage. If electrical bonding has been used, each bond must be present or restored so that I
The heart of an AM tower is probably the base insulator. The weight of the tower, guys and insulators, lighting and any other antennas and transmission lines all rest on the base insulator. Weep holes in the base insulator of series-fed AM towers must be kept clean and open, and any cracks need to be inspected by a tower specialist. In some parts of the country, birds like to nest in base insulators, and I've heard what may be apocryphal stories of base insulators cracking because of excessive nesting materials and resulting in uneven heating in very hot areas.
Replacing a base insulator is not an easy job, and it's very impressive to see a tower jacked up while the old insulator is removed and a new one installed. If rigid FM lines are involved, the operation becomes much more complicated. Great care is required to ensure that no lines are stretched or broken.
The tower footing has to be examined and the state of the concrete verified together with the four-inch copper strap that should be mounted on the four sides of the base between the lower part of the insulator and the ground system.
Replacing an AM base insulator is further complicated when an FM antenna shares the vertical structure. It may be necessary to move the additional RF feed lines temporarily while the work is done.
A grounded tower is simpler to work with, but the need for secure foundations is just as great. The tower base is connected to the ground system by the usual four-inch copper straps, and the slant wire, if used, is located at a convenient place up the tower.
A grounded folded unipole antenna must have its rather complicated installation examined very carefully. The connections from the skirt cables to the tower are vital and must be very secure. The same caveat goes for the shorting stub from the skirt wires to the tower as well as all the ring connections at the base of the skirt. The tower lighting neutral grounding connection is especially important when using a folded unipole.

text: These are the steps in determining need for intensive mental health services:1. Anyone involved with the child calls OR sends this referral form to the New Solutions staff in the county where the child resides (address, phone and fax numbers listed below). The parent/guardian will receive a call regarding your referral within 3 working days.2. A New Solutions staff member meets with parent/guardian to get signed consent for screening, permission to collect the information listed below, and to provide information about New Solutions, confidentiality protections and complaints rights. 3. New Solutions staff obtains a mental health assessment of the child, written or updated within the last sixty days. If such a report is not available, arrangements are made to obtain a mental health assessment.4. New Solutions staff makes phone contact with the persons identified by the parents who are familiar with the child's situation and can contribute to assessing the child's needs. 5. Within 3 working days of obtaining the information listed above, the Child and Adolescent Service Intensity Instrument (CASII) is completed and reviewed with the other information to determine what level of services the child needs. 6. A New Solutions staff member contacts (by phone and letter) the parent/guardian to inform them of the results of the screening and to begin connecting them with appropriate services.
