I have been using Ichthammol on my QH for two seasons now to prevent scratches, cracked heels etc caused by mud. It's a great preventative. When your horse's legs are clean and dry, slather ichthammol on around pasterns, fetlocks, right up to hocks and knees. Then your horse can go out in the mud with a long lasting anti-fungal barrier to keep the mud out. I now only need to use it once a week. What a relief!
I'm using this ointment on my toes to try to cure a fungus. Growing up my mom always used Ichthammol for infections, boils, scrapes, etc. So I'm following tradition and giving it a try.
The Ichthammol ointment was a great value, but your shipping needs help. I received the product in an envelope. The lid was broken and the whole inside of the envelope was coated with the ointment. What a waste and MESS.

Press release from Business Wire
Aetna and Univita Health Work Together to Help Reduce Hospital Readmissions for Medicare Advantage Members

 Transition Care Program will Provide Eligible Members with Coordinated Home-Based Care Following Hospitalizations

Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Aetna and Univita Health Work Together to Help Reduce Hospital Readmissions for Medicare Advantage Members08:30 EST Tuesday, January 29, 2013
HARTFORD, Conn. & SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Business Wire) -- Aetna (NYSE: AET) and Univita Health announced today that they will be
offering a transitional care program to Aetna Medicare Advantage members
in Texas. The program began in January for Medicare Advantage eligible
members who are discharged from selected hospitals in Houston, Dallas,
Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio.
The transitional care program will help Aetna Medicare Advantage members
to transition smoothly from a hospital or skilled nursing facility to
their home and prevent avoidable hospital readmissions. Similar programs
administered by Aetna and Univita use evidence-based approaches and have
been shown to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions significantly.
"Aetna is focused on offering programs and services that help lead to
better health outcomes through collaborative care coordination," said
Dr. Randall Krakauer, Aetna's national Medicare medical director. "We
already offer our Medicare Advantage members a number of care management
programs to help improve the quality of care and reduce health care
costs. The new transitional care program will help Medicare Advantage
members who are treated in a hospital receive coordinated home-based
care as they complete their recovery."
Upon admission to a participating hospital, one of Univita's specially
trained nurses will reach out to the member and their caregiver. The
nurse will engage the member about their condition and discharge plan in
order to determine the type of support the individual will need when
they go home. If the member is admitted to a skilled nursing facility
prior to returning home, the nurse will also engage the member while
they are in the skilled nursing facility.
Once home, the Univita nurse can help the member in a number of
different ways, such as:
Assessing the member's living conditions,
Educating the member and caregiver on their discharge plan,
Describing how to take their medications properly, and
Explaining the signs and symptoms that may necessitate a call to the
doctor, as well as the importance of having follow-up physician visits.
The Univita nurse will also coordinate with an Aetna nurse case manager,
who will be assigned to each member.
"The coordinated home-based care offered in Univita's Bridges
transitional care program has proven to be a valuable element in
ensuring a patient's full recovery," remarked Dr. John Mach, president
of Univita's complex case management division. "We greatly look forward
to extending our services to Aetna Medicare Advantage plan members, and
working with Aetna as it seeks to improve health outcomes and reduce
avoidable hospital readmissions."

companies, serving approximately 37.3 million people with information

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
Mr. Green helped with a US citizenship application. He was well versed in the law, and had obviously handled many similar cases in the past.
He took the time to explain details of the process and discuss concerns. He was very responsive and answered each question right away. He returned emails and phone calls promptly. His instructions were clear and to the point which made it easy to follow them.
I was impressed that he knew how best to respond to an apparent error on the part of the government agent in charge of the case.
He did what he promised and accomplished the goal.
He is very professional and knowledgeable, competent and good listener. A friendly environment and staff it's always present. I would recommend Richard who is considering law-immigration professional services.
When you have a case with a lawyer the most important thing for a client is to get hold of the lawyer either on the phone or by email and get my question answered.
Rick understands that very good. I didn't have a problem getting hold of him at any time I needed his opinion or recommendation during the case process. He was very honest and very nice to deal with.
I'll never hesitate to deal with him again and I highly recommend him.
Richard Green was able to procure our green cards when other lawyers had failed to do so. I have the utmost faith in his character, legal knowledge, responsiveness and integrity. I have subsequently recommended him to many friends and acquaintances.

Welcome to Winter Watch, an article series where we will take each episode of some the simulcasted winter season anime and disclose our opinions about them. Among the many shows being broadcast this season, Nisemonogatari is perhaps the most anticipated one as it is a direct sequel to fan favorite Bakemonogatari.
Episode 1: Karen Bee, Part 1
Summary: Koyomi is kidnapped by Hitagi and has a flash back to earlier that day where he talks with his sister and meets Mayoi while walking to a friend's house.
Air Date: Jan. 07, 2012
Run Time: 24:10
Warning: This article contains spoilers. We recommend watching the episode here first.
This episode starts with Koyomi, the main character of the series, restrained in a chair by a young woman named Hitagi who is a bit of a sadist with a few screws loose. After some mild and "playful" torture/harrasment filled with sexual innuendo, a flashback to earlier that morning takes place and we find Koyomi at his house where he talks with his sister, Tsukihi. After some light banter, Koyomi heads out to meet up with a friend but gets sidetracked when he spots Mayoi, a 5th grader who is his friend but isn't quite what she seems. After playing sneaking up on her for an extremely over-the-top hug and greeting, the two chat for a bit and the episode ends with them going their separate ways.
There is a lot to enjoy about this episode. A lot of care has gone into making this show visually appealing, which is impressive considering that the majority of the episode is banter between Koyomi and another character. I found the characters extremely engaging. The dialog between them is sharp and you can gauge a lot of their personality through the things they say and how they say it. Finally, this series is genuinely funny whether it be from blatant gags, witty dialog, or utilizing the visuals for comedic effect. However, all is not perfect. Much of the dialog is delivered at a rapid fire pace that borders on overwhelming and seemingly was written without a clear understanding of how much dialog can be delivered at a reasonable pace given the length of an episode. Additionally, there is some mild loli banter and antics which I thought wasn't necessary.
For all of the turbo talking and mild loli content, I really enjoyed this episode. It did so much right that it's easy for me to look past some of the things it did wrong. I can honestly say that I want to watch more of it and see what happens to the characters and how Koyomi eventually ends up kidnapped by Hitagi. The desire to watch more of the series is the ultimate goal for any first episode and this one delivered on that for me. I'd definitely say that if you are on the fence about the series or have in inclining to check it out, do so.

I am going to a quilt show with friends tomorrow. Our plans are to view the quilts (about 400), visit the quilt shop, and have lunch at the Barn Restaurant.This is all located at Sauder Village in Archbold, OH.
What are your weekend plans? Linda OH |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by polardream (My Page) on Fri, Apr 29, 11 at 23:15
Sounds like fun, Linda! I am trying to work on a lap quilt - but I have torn one of the very simple blocks apart 4 times! It is making me crazy ... maybe I should just put it away ... I want to get a lap quilt sandwiched for my son's girlfriend & start quilting. Our weather is supposed to be cold & snowy again so will be a good day to stay inside. Sue |
My GD wants to make a quilt for a friend and we have accumulated the fabric now to begin. She has never done anything like this before so there are challanges. She has definate ideas as to what she wants to do---------maybe it is doable, we'll see. lol Jayne |
Just returned from the local Guild quilt show. Some very lovely quilts. I restrained myself and did not buy anything, not even a fat quarter Theresa |
Linda, your day sounds like fun! We have a place called The Barn down here, too...it's a shop with lots of knick knack kind of stuff and has a restaurant. It's been years since I went there. I just finished quilting my niece's graduation quilt. The "quilters block" went away and everything went very smoothly today! :) After lunch I need to do some house cleaning to get ready for my sister's visit (she arrives tonight!) then hopefully I'll have time to sew the binding on the quilt. We'll be in the car most of the day tomorrow and I'd like to do the hand sewing. Donna |
Sounds like there are lots of quilt shows this weekend. Two friends and I went to the Buffalo, NY area yesterday and did a mini shophop. Today we went to a neighboring guild's quilt show. They had over 400 quilts hanging as well as displays of their community outreach projects...very impressive! As well they had over 50 Quilts for Japan that will be taken to Northcott Fabric on Monday to be added to the container to be shipped over in a few days. All in all it has been a very good couple of days. I am going to try to get some projects worked on today but tomorrow I MUST get the taxes ready to mail....deadline is midnight May 2nd! Cheers! |
I'm back from the quilt show. It was wonderful. The featured guest quilter was Nancy Prince of Orlando, FL. Her quilts were beautiful! We shopped at Threads of Tradition and I purchased Dr. Seuss fabric to make the quilt in the new issue of Quilter's World. We had lunch at the Barn restaurant, a large barn that was moved to the site and remodeled. They have a buffet that is great. We were back home by 2:30. It was a wonderful day with six friends. Linda OH |
Linda, Nancy Prince is a member of my guild. Aren't her quilts beautiful? And she's really nice, too. :) Donna |

The time for more talk and continued veiled threats is over. Time to green light the Navy SEALs. Time to take Assad out.
NEIL F. ANDERSON, Richfield

Don't trust Bezos or Washington Post
I am not a fan of Jeff Bezos or Amazon. But methinks it is worth paying attention to three news stories in the last couple weeks.
First, Bezos bought the Washington Post. Second, Amazon Web Services scored a $600 million contract to provide cloud services for the CIA. Third, Amazon is now attempting to create a wireless network that would seriously challenge the current providers.
The congruence of these three specific entities is unsettling.
Apparently money can buy anything. Imagine a world where everything you do on your phone or online is available to the CIA, and access to that information is never reported on or questioned by the Washington Post.
Far-fetched? No, not at all.
Oh, wait. Maybe that's already how it is. In which case, please excuse my concern.
BONNIE HAYSKAR, St. Paul

Do trust the work of police officers
Law enforcement careers are not for the meek. Regardless of the emotional makeup of a police officer, he or she must adapt to the mostly negative interaction with the public. Most daily activities and confrontations are resented, rebuked and criticized. Most incidents must be clearly documented for protection from potential litigation. The officer must perform daily tasks with the utmost caution, lest he or she be injured or killed by a criminal suspect.
One must admire the bravery and dedication possessed by these individuals. Yet, public opinion and the media appear to have little or no appreciation for their contribution to society. Police officers are expected to perform their jobs without emotion or reaction. Would it not be reasonable to expect that any person has the right to a breaking point? We seem more concerned about police conduct that criminal conduct.

While I was on vacation recently, I attended the first days of the Bradford International Film Festival (BIFF) in Bradford, UK in the Yorkshire region of England. The festival is sponsored by and held at the National Media Museum…which is one of the most visited museums in England outside of London. Bradford itself has always been known for film…causing UNESCO to give Bradford the first "UNESCO City of Film" designation. How did I find out about this relatively small festival? Well, one of my favorite travelogue books is Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson, where Bryson tours his adopted homeland of Great Britain one more time before he moves back to America. In Notes, Bryson talks of stopping in Bradford and checking out the only Cinerama screen in all of Europe. Being both an Anglophile and a film lover, I just had to do more research on this place! Cinerama, for all of those who are not film obsessed, was the three-camera mega-widescreen process developed in the 1950s to compete with the television market. In the early 1950s, movie producers were losing millions and millions to television…meaning why should people go to the movies anymore since they had this great new medium of TV right in their homes? So, Hollywood answered by giving the public something TV could never provide (today's widescreen TVs try but are still not even close)… MAMMOTH SCREENS and the widest pictures ever imaginable. Now, I know we have IMAX and even Omnimax now but still, Cinerama was superior. Wikipedia describes this MUCH better than I ever could.
Ok, I digress…basically what all of that means is that I HAD to check Bradford out. When I found out they had an annual film festival, I knew one year I would have to go. So, I did.
Held in March since 1994, the BIFF is not "international" in the same sense as Cannes or Venice or Toronto. I mean they show foreign films like the big festivals do, but there is little media coverage, very few people from abroad (I felt like the token American…not counting the few American filmmakers and dignitaries that were there), and the big celebrity names are limited to the award recipients, instead of the attendees (this year, Claire Bloom and Terry Gilliam were honored). But, regardless of that, it was still an excellent festival. I saw foreign films, documentaries, Canadian films, and many British films. Most of the films were independents that might not make it to the Chicagoland area.
I would estimate that about only 20% of the new releases I saw will have a snowball's chance of making it to the Chicagoland area…even on DVD. The others are VERY, very small films with limited budgets and limited releases. And this is why film festivals are key: at festivals, small films have a chance to been seen and noticed and even to thrive.
Would I go again? YES…in a heartbeat. Mostly because during my five days in Bradford, I never did get a chance to see a Cinerama film, which was my initial reason for wanting to come here. Oh well, I will just have to go back!
Now through March 31, teens can vote in our annual choice awards.
Visit the Reference or A/V desks to pick up a ballot. Write in your favorite movie, song, music video, TV show and video game and drop it in the box.
Get a small prize when you vote and you'll also be entered in our grab bag drawing in April.
Check out the winners from last year.
Will someone beat out Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber this year?
Well, the show was OK — not great, but not awful. All in all, I would say that James Franco will NEVER be asked back — though Anne Hathaway might, since she seemed excited to be there. Franco seemed to be back in NYC in school rather than on one of the greatest stages in the world. I have been to the Kodak Theater in Hollywood myself and even took a tour. We were able, on the tour, to stand on the stage and look out to the seats like Franco and Hathaway did on Sunday night. No, the Kodak was not all glitzed and glammed up like it was Sunday, but I still felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Also, I have held an Oscar — not at the Kodak but at the Shops at North Bridge on Michigan Avenue. The lavish mall, where the Nordstroms is, holds an annual venue where people can come and get their picture taken with an actual Oscar statue. They also ha
ve photos from some of the previous ceremonies and other information on the awards. It's like a mini-Academy Awards museum for filmies around the Chicagoland area! It was a blast. So, even though I probably will never hold an Oscar up on the stage of the Kodak Theater, I can at least say I have been there, done that…though in two different cities and two different years!

Yummy - this is one of my favorites now. The stew is quite thick. I did top it with about 1 tbsp of shredded parmesan cheese & mixed in some light sour cream after dishing it out into my bowl (not included in nutritional values). I even prepared some left overs for lunch at work tomorrow & topped it with another cup of mixed vegetables & a bit of water for reheating. Because the sodium content is high, I think I'll try a salt free boullion in place of the store bought broth.

Women's Safety: Ghosts on the Prowl
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
A husband in Narsingdi cuts off wife's fingers because she pursued college study without his permission. Photo: Internet
Though Bangladesh is making all-out efforts to emerge as a middle-income country with marked economic growth in recent years, the safety of its residents remains a concern, especially its women. The majority of women in the country do not feel safe while moving on the streets alone as they have to grapple with various problems. Lewd comments, molestation, sexual harassment and even rape have become common.
Like many women, Sanjida Akhter (not her real name) has experienced her fair share of harassment, even assault. "We just bury our bitter experiences. We cannot speak about…we don't have the confidence or the ability to register protest. Even we have to escort our young daughters on their way to school and back home."
According to Odhikar's 2010 Human Rights Report, crimes against both women and children are at an all-time high in the country. Safety and security of women in moving from one place to another is a right, but unfortunately that has become much riskier in Bangladesh due to deteriorating law and order. Acts of violence occur more in rural areas than they do in urban areas.
"Fewer than half of married women in Bangladesh and Pakistan feel safe moving alone outside their villages or settlements, even during the day," says a World Bank survey conducted during 2006-2008. Lack of security is one of the reasons why girls drop out of school after puberty and especially when secondary schools are located a long walk away, is the fear of violence en route. There are more women joining the labour force in the dynamic service sector in big cities. But the challenges still remain huge.
Human Rights Watch (HRW), a New York-based rights watchdog, in its World Report 2012 observed that violence against women, including rape, dowry-related assaults, acid attacks and sexual harassment, continues in Bangladesh for lack of proper preventive measures.
"The government's inaptitude in handling the situation, corrupt practices in police department, judiciary and all the rest of the factors joined together to give rise to such a morbid situation in the country. I think this should be enough to open the eyes of the relevant authorities to get down to work," says Barrister Ahsan Habib who practices law in London.
Yasmin Murder
The murder of 18-year-old Yasmin on August 24, 1995 could be recalled as a case in point. A maid in capital Dhaka, Yasmin was her on way to her mother's house in Dinajpur. It was quite late at night when she reached Dinajpur town and missed the last local bus. As she was looking around for help, a group of policemen came forward and assured her of dropping her home safely. But they took her to a desolated spot, where they raped and killed her. They left her body alongside a road only to be found the next morning.
The incident in the northern town of Dinajpur had triggered angry protests across the country by women and human rights groups, forcing the authorities to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
On August 31, 1997, a Rangpur judge sentenced the three men to death by hanging. But their executions were delayed because they had appealed to the High Court against the verdict, and petitioned the president for mercy.
"Yasmin Akhter's case represents one of the most shameful moments in Bangladesh's history. The public protests ignited by Yasmin's rape and murder made her a symbol of violence against women, of the violence of the powerful perpetrated on the powerless. But at the same time, public protest and women's movement in reaction to Yasmin's murder also became a means of social resistance to such violence," wrote a writer at that time.
Badhan Case
On the night of December 31, 1999, a group of 10-12 youths molested Shawan Akhter Badhan and almost stripped her at Milon Chattar on the premises of Teachers and Students Centre (TSC) where she had gone for millennium celebrations along with her three friends who were also assaulted and driven out from the scene. After being informed by the victim's friends, police rushed in and rescued her from the hands of the unruly youths.
As the incident sent a wave of shock across the country, police forced Badhan to file a criminal case against the perpetrators who were identified in the photographs published in different national dailies the following day. On January 6, 2000, Badhan filed a case with Ramna police station and identified the three accused from newspaper photographs.
Police arrested eight people in this connection and the investigation officer, inspector Rezaul Karim of the detective branch, submitted a charge-sheet on May 14, 2000 against two outsiders —Tutul, Chandan and Rassel, discharging six others. But unfortunately all the accused in Badhan molestation case were acquitted.
We often forget to ask what gives a man the licence to harass, molest or rape a woman no matter where she has gone and when, and how she was dressed. The question is not about time and place, not even the dress. It is in fact about a deep-rooted mentality that runs into many centuries of an extremely sexually repressed society.
Female Garment Workers
There are reasons for the women living in a male-dominated society to be worried about their safety while walking to work and returning home at night. This is of more concern for those working in the country's garment factories because they are largely unprotected. More worrying is that these women are often treated as prostitutes and exploited in many ways both by their employers and their landlords. Having a safe shelter is not an easy task for them because ghosts are always on prowl.
Foreigner's Experience
After spending a few months in the capital, a female foreigner came up with a slew of suggestions for women to move in Dhaka alone. Here are her suggestions:
Females should not travel alone in Dhaka around at night by rickshaw, after 9-10pm. If they must travel, it is best to go in groups.
Be vigilant while travelling/walking and be aware of your surroundings. An alert-looking person, whose head is up and is watching the environment around them, presents less of a target than someone who is lost in their own world.
Bags should be kept off the shoulder, so that if a bag snatching does occur, there is no risk of being dragged, which has actually caused the more serious injuries in these incidences. A common myth is that poverty spawns these crimes, but in reality bag snatching crimes are often committed by people with vehicles, which people in poverty cannot afford. It is theorised that it is actually young men, some of whom may be addicted to drugs, who commit these crimes and have the means to do so.
If travelling out of the city at night, it is best not to accept food or drinks from strangers at train stations or bus stands, unless you see the drink being made or the food being prepared. In a recent theft, we heard of a drugging that knocked a single female unconscious. It would be a mistake to proclaim that all hospitality offered by strangers is malicious, especially in Bangladesh. But, by being aware of where food or drink comes from, you can protect yourself.
Safety of women is a big issue even in developed countries. The difference is that they hardly hesitate to swing into action well before things start spinning out of control. But that does not happen here. In Bangladesh, it is the non-enforcement of laws that puts women at risk. It is the inaptitude of the authorities that reinforces women's lack of mobility both socially and physically, and often makes them powerless to determine their course in life. Laws are passed here to protect the rights of individuals, but cultural practices and traditions limit the safety of women. We will feel safe only when we see more women on the street walking, cycling and experiencing city spaces without hazards.

New buyers must have a job, income, savings and decent credit. They also must have careers and personal lives that make home-buying sensible, and they need to find a home they like in a neighborhood where they want to live. If all those things are in place, a higher interest rate likely won't deter them.
'It's time to do it'
"Am I unhappy that it costs a little more?" Gumbinger said. "Probably a little unhappy, but everything else is aligned, so it's time to do it." Meanwhile, mortgage bankers, investors and economists are watching the Fed closely to see how it will unwind quantitative easing. Investors have become more accustomed to the idea of the end of the program, which is why mortgage rates have stopped rising in recent days, Gumbinger said.
But the end of quantitative easing is coming. The questions now are when, and how quickly, Gumbinger said.
In one sense, the mortgage market's reaction to the Fed is evidence that the central bank is doing its job well, said Pete Ferderer, an economist at Macalester College.
The Fed is trying to keep the economy growing without letting inflation get out of control. It is promoting expansion when growth is slow, and taking its foot off the gas pedal, as Bernanke says, when things start to grow.
Still, the scale and impact of the Fed's policies in recent years are unprecedented, and seen through the lens of history quantitative easing has been a remarkably ambitious project.
"I'm old enough and I've studied enough economic history to be awed by what the Fed has done," Ferderer said. "It's become the new normal, that the Fed is going to play such a powerful role in the financial markets."

Specialties: Epigenetics, epigenomics
In 1997, Abby D. Benninghoff received her B.S. with dual majors in Biochemistry and Biology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She then completed her doctoral research in Marine Science, with a specialization in comparative reproductive physiology, at the University of Texas at Austin in 2004. Dr. Benninghoff then worked as a post-doctoral research associate at Oregon State University, where she received additional training in the areas of Toxicology and Carcinogenesis. Dr. Benninghoff is currently an Assistant Professor in the Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences department where she teaches courses in Endocrinology and Science Communication. She is also a faculty member of the USU School of Veterinary Medicine where she teaches components of Veterinary Physiology. Dr. Benninghoff is a affiliate faculty member of the USTAR Applied Nutrition Research program, which has a research focus on gut microbiota, diet and health.
A major goal of Dr. Benninghoff's research program is to understand the influence of environmental factors on mechanisms of gene regulation in determining health and disease in animals and humans. In other words, she focuses on the intersection of nature and nurture by investigating gene-environment interactions.
Projects in her lab fall within two broad program objectives: 1) Determine how modification of dietary intakes of macronutrients, micronutrients and specific bioactive food chemicals may prevent or suppress carcinogenesis, and 2) understand how certain environmental contaminants (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, perfluorinated chemicals) interact with the genome, either through receptor activation or modification of the epigenome, to increase cancer risk.
Dr. Benninghoff's research program has received funding support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
The long-term goal of my research program is to understand how chemicals in the environment influence human health and disease, both for the better (cancer chemoprevention) and for the worse (tumor promotion). My research interests are specifically focused on: (i) the role of the estrogen receptor in transplacental cancer prevention by dietary phytochemicals, (ii) the novel role of the estrogen receptor in tumor promotion by a class of environmental contaminants called perfluoroalkyl acids, (iii) transplacental chemoprevention by bioactive food components via epigenetic mechanisms, and (iv) the impact of dietary mixtures on key molecular targets involved in cancer prevention and suppression.

When Smith's position was eliminated from Barnum's budget last spring, he was ready to move on. He didn't go quietly, however. He's filed two official grievances against Chavez. And at his final meeting with her, he offered some unofficial comments. "She kept telling us she was 'here for the children,' and finally I challenged her, a little heatedly, I admit," he says. "I said, 'Are you saying I am not here for the children?' And she backed down a little after that." Chavez says she wasn't aware of any dissatisfaction at the school until after Adams's death, but concedes that "it was a difficult year. I was a new principal, and because Hillary was an advocate for teachers and children, she was very vocal."
Especially at CDM meetings. "She said she was being overridden a lot, and it started to get to her," Adams' sister remembers. And the CDM's toughest task--cutting the budget--was still to come.
Adams knew that whatever decision the committee made would directly affect Sue Doyle, a fellow first-grade teacher who'd come to Barnum on a one-year assignment and hoped to be hired on permanently. Ironically, Doyle had had some difficulty being accepted by the Barnum teachers; she knew Chavez personally, and was seen as her friend and confidante. As the end of the school year drew near, however, Adams and other teachers realized they'd come to like Doyle as well as respect her teaching ability.
According to Doyle herself, the CDM worked long hours trying to devise a way to keep her in the budget. Finally it settled on two options--only one of which included Doyle--and put them to the entire teaching staff for a vote. On a Friday, the teachers voted to keep Doyle. The next Monday, Jerry Smith recalls, "Judy announced that we had run over her like a freight train and that she wasn't about to let it happen again. Then she vetoed our decision, and Sue was out."
"We were trying to be fair," says another teacher. "We had met for hours and voted--and then Judy told us she was embarrassed and humiliated by what we had done."
Doyle, who had indeed once counted Chavez among her friends, was devastated--so much so that she went to Chavez's office. "And Judy told me that she had heard I was saying negative things about her, and that she was tired of the rumors," Doyle recalls. "Then she told me my expectations for my class were too high, anyway. And she said no, I would not be coming back next year."
"It's still an issue today," Chavez admits. "Some of the teachers were under the impression that they were empowered to make all the decisions, but I don't think the message came out clear that the principal does have the last word."
Combing Adams's last months for clues is a singularly depressing task, but those who were close to her are still doing it. Yes, they agree, Hillary had a bad year at school, as they all did. But only Adams became obsessed with the changes at Barnum--and with its principal.
"All of a sudden she felt a lot of animosity," friend Lisa Wright remembers. "Judy Chavez had come in to evaluate her class. I don't know the details, except that Hillary was upset about it, and she felt like Judy didn't think she was a good teacher. I know she had several conflicts with Judy, and after each one she got closer to thinking she was just the worst teacher and not doing anything right."
"Looking back," says Smith, "there were signs we should have heeded. She was always the last to leave Bob's, and she was drinking plenty, although Lord knows I drank tons of beer myself that year. She may have had an eating disorder. She never completely expressed herself to anyone, even though we could tell she was upset."
A persistent sinus infection added to Adams' woes. After she had sinus surgery in April, Adams began a frantic search for a roommate. If she didn't find one, she told friends, she'd be unable to pay the rent. Once, when Chavez refused to let her take a call at school from a potential roommate, she became hysterical.
Wendy and her mother could only recall one other time when they'd seen Hillary so upset: shortly after she'd been sexually assaulted at college. "It was a terrible thing," her mother says, "and sometimes she did get depressed when that came up. But she stayed in school, her GPA was high, and she seemed to be handling it."
But in the spring of 1993, Hillary Adams was not handling it. When she announced her plans to leave Barnum, her family was relieved. Adams received job offers from three other DPS schools, but leaving her Barnum kids never seemed to sit right, in part because the other positions weren't bilingual.
"Hillary was a very good bilingual teacher," says Reithman, "and she really didn't want to change schools. She told me the only reason she did it was because of the principal." Chavez disagrees. "Adams was a very outstanding bilingual teacher, very caring, very professional, very dedicated," she says. "I had very high regard for Hillary. She and I had a very good working relationship."
In fact, Chavez adds, Adams thought enough of her to give her a parting present: the book La Reina de las Nieves, a Spanish translation of the Hans Christian Anderson story of the Snow Queen. The Queen reminded her of Chavez, Adams told the principal.

THREE OF THE TEN BIGGEST LAW firms in the United States are located in Houston. Two of them rank as #3 and #4. In the past few months they have overtaken several Manhattan giants that were doyens of American law for decades before the men who lead the Texas firms were even born; their phenomenal growth shows no signs of slowing down. They are the talk of the legal profession.
These are the Big Three of Houston law:
*Vinson, Elkins, Searls, Connally & Smith (186 lawyers).
*Fulbright, Crooker & Jaworski (185 lawyers).
*Baker & Botts (160 lawyers).
Roughly two-fifths of the lawyers in each firm are partners, meaning they are senior men who own the institution and share its profits. The rest are associates," younger men who work as salaried employees pending promotion to partnership status. There are currently 68 partners at Vinson Elkins, 69 at Fulbright Crooker, and 66 at Baker & Botts. The only firms in the country that remain larger than the two biggest Houston mammoths are the Wall Street firms of Shearman & Sterling with 226 lawyers; and Dewey, Ballantine, Bushby, Palmer & Wood with 197. No one outside New York is any longer even close: there is nothing in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, or Washington to match them.
Nor is there anything in Texas either. Dallas has five firms over 30, but none over 45. San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Austin trail far behind. Houston lawyers speak of an "amoeba complex" that regularly causes Dallas firms to split into separate factions just as they approach the 50 mark. It doesn't happen in Houston.
Their elaborate structure of specialized departments and sections is a far cry from the days of the country lawyer who hung out his shingle on the courthouse square. Though the labels differ from firm to firm, each of the Big Three offers specialists in corporate finance, banking, patent law, utilities, real estate, labor, admiralty, bankruptcy, tax, wills, trusts, and public law. They also have a separate breed of trial lawyers, men who would not think of trading the rough-and-tumble of the courtroom for any sort of office practice.
Houston's Big Three have a national reputation for top-quality legal work. Local lawyers may sometimes joke about the big firms' peculiarities, but no one underestimates their skill at handling the law. A successful small-firm trial lawyer in Houston who opposes big firms in courtrooms all across the country says flatly, "The lawyers I face from the big firms here in Houston are the best anywhere. They're better than Wall Street, far in excess of O'Melveny & Myers [the top Los Angeles firm]. By and large, they've got the finest talent in the country." Even discounted for a little Texas brag, the statement is not far wrong, judging from the opinions of their colleagues in bar associations nationwide.
The Big Six: A Floor Plan of Houston Law
THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL argue that Houston law is dominated not by the Big Three but by the Big Five—or, as some would have it, the Big Six. The massive bulk of the giants does tend to obscure the fact that several other firms do a similar sort of legal practice with enough lawyers to make them giants in their own right if they were located in San Antonio, Dallas, or almost any other American city.
The oldest and most aristocratic of these middle-sized firms is Andrews, Kurth, Campbell & Jones, an exclusive group of 65 lawyers with many of the attributes of a social club. Very ingrown, they seldom fraternize with other members of the Houston bar. "It's like a closed fraternal order," says a successful solo practitioner who spent several years in another of the big firms. "They go to retreats together, that sort of thing. They judge your looks and your wife before they hire you—they take only handsome lawyers. They come to work late, and they quit early."
They are also more paternal than others: once accepted into the fold, a young lawyer is virtually assured of lifetime security without the desperate competition that characterizes the ladder of success elsewhere. Andrews Kurth once shared the cream of the Houston practice with Baker & Botts, but after the death of its driving force, Col. Frank Andrews, in 1936, it threatened to wither on the vine.
In the past 15 years, however, it has come back strongly and is now generally regarded as having one of the finest collections of legal ability in the city. It is also considered suffocatingly conservative, even by conservatives. Political involvement is strenuously discouraged, with a conspicuous exception for Hall Timanus, the one-time chairman of the Wallace-for-President forces in Texas. For years the firm's biggest client has been Howard Hughes' Hughes Tool Company. Among their other major clients is the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The dominant figures in the firm today are Mickey West and Harry Jones.
Although the firm of Butler, Binion, Rice, Cook & Knapp comprises 85 lawyers, it has been described as "a small firm that happens to have a lot of people in it." Formed in the 1940's, it has never gone in for representation of large corporate clients whose work requires concentrated teamwork, and therefore has developed into a collection of feudal fiefdoms instead of a monolithic empire. Each lawyer reputedly has his own set of articles of incorporation, for example.
One consequence of this informality, individualism, and lack of tradition has been a certain unevenness in the quality of the legal talent there. The firm has some very able lawyers at the top, and others who are not so able. "They've got 50 per cent good lawyers and 50 per cent bad lawyers, and they don't know which are which," is the harsh judgment of a lawyer in the Big Three. Their attrition rate is admittedly high; good lawyers like Bob Singleton, Bill Wright, and Percy Williams have departed for greener pastures. On the other hand, no major Houston firm has a more distinguished record of elevating its partners to the bench. James Noel, a federal district judge
