Groundcover for shade under tree, dog-proof
My brother and his wife have asked for advice, so I said IÂd see what I can find out. They have a big Norway maple in their front yard that creates very dense shade. Grass will no longer grow under it, and it is either bare dirt or muddy all year long. What ground cover can they use in such a situation? I donÂt think they care if it is flowering: I think anything practical that will live under those conditions will be good.
I had thought of a couple of things and then was thrown a poser: Their dog goes out there, and always tracks through the mud/dirt. Is there a ground cover that is strong enough to withstand dog traffic? English Ivy was what I thought of, but I donÂt know if thatÂs hardy in zone 5. I see it used all the time for this purpose, on my travels in zone 6 or warmer. Thanks!
The best groundcover to plant under a tree where nothing else grows is liriope(monkey grass).It is not harmful to animals and can even take their abuse(peeing,pooping,laying and even walking on it.Monkey grass is for zones 4-10.It is quite pricey where I live but it is on ebay and other sites.
I do not recommend english ivy to anyone.It will climb the tree and eventually it will cover the branches and then the tree cannot leaf out and will die.
Monkey grass grows anywhere in full shade or full sun.Hope this helps.
I will second this suggestion. The prior owners of our house used it as a ground cover under and around large oak trees in the back beside a high deck. This bed is shaded and the little ground cover does wonderfully well. We have a large dog and his activity doesn't damage the planting, plus I walk over it to reach a water faucet. It is very hardy and tough and stays green year round. If they wish to add a bit of color, just place three pots of varying heights together and put some bright Impatients in them. Lovely and cool.

Structure meetings for success
1. Review. Read up on the guidelines published by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and decide how they mesh with your current standards of care. Get a comprehensive list at dvm360.com/vetguidelines.
2. Doctors' meeting. Meet to review your standards of care—a vaccinations standard of care is crucial. If doctors disagree, the staff is working with a hand tied behind their back. Staff need to say, "We believe in this." If you're the doctor who wants a change, bring in supporting information. Once you've got a consensus, put it in writing (that means printed documents in binders for easy access).
3. Team meeting. Vaccination is a part of wellness care. Since the team is the main purveyor of wellness care, practitioners should first focus on education. Just knowing what the standards are isn't enough; your team needs to know why you believe these are the right standards for your patients. Explain that while the AAFP and AAHA publish guidelines, it's not that easy to make a blanket recommendation for all pets. Have the team use a risk assessment form then review the client's responses and add to the existing knowledge base about that client and pet.
4. Role-play and change the conversation. Have two team members act out a scenario between a client and staff member. Consider this: The AAHA/AAFP guidelines are for "healthy" animals and many pets are less than healthy. The "client" has a senior-age pet that may have a diminished response to vaccination due to age-related suppression of the immune system. Have the staff member explain the diminished response to vaccination, reduced duration of immunity, and have her give this example from the human medicine side: Flu epidemics are countered by recommending vaccinations for the young, old and immune-compromised.
Changing client behavior requires the entire practice team. Luckily, most clients consider vaccines to be the most important reason to visit the veterinarian. The next time you introduce yourself as a veterinarian, listen closely to the comments: "Oh, I just took my dog to get his shots!" The majority of the public still places value on vaccinations. Now, the challenge is using that vaccination visit to educate clients on the other important services veterinarians have to offer.

GAME NOTES: The Oklahoma State Cowboys will close out a two-game homestand at Gallagher-Iba Arena on Monday night when they take on the Iowa State Cyclones in a Big 12 Conference clash. After opening up the season with 14 consecutive victories, Iowa State came crashing back down to earth with losses in four of its next five games before earning a impressive 81-75 home victory over nationally-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon. The Cyclones, who are 16-4 overall and 4-4 in league play, have gone just 2-3 on the road this season. Oklahoma State has also been sliding of late following an outstanding start to the campaign, as it has lost three of four to drop to 16-5 and 4-4 in the Big 12. The Cowboys had won their first 10 home games of the season before Saturday's loss to Baylor, 76-70. The Cowboys own a 63-54 advantage in the all-time series with the Cyclones, which includes 18 straight victories in Stillwater. After playing the first half of their most recent contest to a 37-37 tie, the Cyclones separated themselves from Oklahoma early in the second stanza with a 14-4 run and held tight down the stretch for the six-point victory. They outshot OU from the field on the afternoon, 44.4 percent to 40.6 percent, and drained 10-of-26 from 3-point range. Georges Niang (27 points) and Melvin Ejim (22 points, 16 points) were both outstanding in the triumph, while Matt Thomas scored 13 points, Monte Morris netted 12 and DeAndre Kane handed out nine assists. Iowa State's success this season has been predicated by its outstanding offensive attack, as it shoots 47.6 percent from the field while ranking sixth in the nation with 84.4 ppg. It drains 8.9 3-pointers per contest, boasts a +2.3 turnover margin and holds opponents to just 40.7 percent shooting and 71.8 ppg. Ejim is the Big 12's leading scorer with 18.1 ppg on 51.3 percent shooting from the field and 78.8 percent at the foul line to go with 7.8 rpg. Kane is one of the nation's most well-rounded guards with 16.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 5.8 rpg and 1.6 spg. Niang brings 16.4 ppg to the table, while Dustin Hogue (11.2 ppg, 8.9 rpg) joins Ejim in the frontcourt. In a game that consisted of 13 ties and 14 lead changes, Oklahoma State held a one-point lead with under five minutes to play on Saturday only for Baylor to pull away for the victory thanks to an 11-3 run. It shot a solid 46 percent from the field, but it wasn't good enough to keep pace with the red-hot Bears (.519). Markel Brown did all he could to keep his team in it, draining 9-of-12 from the field, including 6-of-8 from 3-point range for 24 points. Le'Bryan Nash added 19 points and Marcus Smart, despite shooting only 3-of-14 from the field, filled the stat sheet with 15 points, seven assists, six rebounds and three steals. On the season, the Cowboys have displayed excellent balance on both ends of the floor, outshooting their opponents from the field, 47.6 percent to 39.4 percent, for the nation's sixth-best scoring margin (+15.7), while falling just shy of Iowa State's league-best scoring offense (83.2 ppg). Smart has lived up to the billing as one of the country's premiere playmakers at guard with 17.2 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 4.5 apg and 2.5 spg, although his percentages from the floor (.418) and 3-point range (.286) have been less than ideal. Brown is right on Smart's tail for the scoring lead with 16.9 ppg, Nash tallies 14.0 ppg and 5.9 rpg and Phil Forte (12.4 ppg) provides a spark off the bench by draining 60 3-pointers at a blistering 48 percent clip. Neither team has been a model of consistency in recent weeks, and Oklahoma State was finally proven vulnerable at Gallagher-Iba Arena over the weekend, but expect for the Cowboys to bounce back in this one as they return to their winning ways at home against a Cyclones squad that hasn't impressed on the road. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Oklahoma State 86, Iowa State 78 02/03 14:18:53 ET

Opportunity Fund is a truly innovative organization that is dedicated to phenomenal results for the low-income clients they serve. They did a 2 year longitudinal study following the people who graduated from their savings program. 75% of program graduates continue to save today — saving an average of 10% of their annual income. Equally exciting, 70% of those savers had opened savings accounts for their children, pointing towards a generational change in financial knowledge.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

There are no "Constitutional" rights; there are only unalienable rights
Can we clear something up? Often, especially during this 2nd Amendment controversy, we are hearing more and more about "protecting our Constitutional Rights." This is a bit of a misnomer. There are no "Constitutional" rights; there are only unalienable rights.
You have these unalienable rights because God gave them to you or they are clearly observed by all of us because of our humanity, in other words, Natural Law or Natures God.
For example, we all likely believe that we have an inherent right to defend ourselves if we are under attack. We do not believe we have to go to the government or our neighbor, or our friends to seek permission. It is unalienable, something we have inherently because we are humans.
Therefore, the Constitution does not grant any right to self-defense whatsoever, the Constitution limits the power of government to infringe upon these unalienable rights. Moreover, when they do, it is not a very persuasive position to say; "the government is taking away my Constitutional rights!" That is what all governments do as they progress...it is their natural trajectory.
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." ― James Madison
What is better to say is that "The government has violated its authority, the DC'vers has broken their oaths for the 1 zillionth time, and the result is, they are infringing upon my unalienable rights. Now that they have, I along with my family, friends and neighbors intend to stop them, defy them or withdraw from their 'unlawful' law!"
This is what we need to be focusing on, not whether or not Feinstein or the DC'vers want to disarm the populace...of course they do. That is the natural trajectory of a big-centralized government we have allowed to grow. The real question is, what are you going to do about it? Continue to beg for the misnomer "Constitutional Rights!" On the other hand, organize so you can stop them, defy them or withdraw from them?
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." ― Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle
We have to embrace the idea that the Constitution is no more than a political document to form and organize a government. It is not sacred, handed down from God Himself to Philadelphia in 1787. These were not "inspired" men who met in Philadelphia, just politicians generally trying to deal with a crisis between the States (at least some were, some were there for very different and nefarious reasons). Even the Bill or Rights does not create ANY "rights," it merely acknowledges the existence of them and then attempts to stop the newly created federal government from infringing upon them. Sadly, it has not worked too well as a restraining device.
"in a constitutionally ordered state, where laws are derived from broad principles of right and wrong and where those principles are enshrined and protected by agreed upon procedures and practices, it can never be in the long-term interest of the state or its citizens to flout those procedures at home or associate too closely overseas with the enemies of your founding ideals." ― Tony Judt,
This is really important to understand folks, failure to do so gives the ignoble's occupying Washington DC (in both parties) all the power. When you believe they can determine what is and is not a "Constitutional Right," guess who holds all the power. It is not you and it is not me!
Thus, you do not have Constitutional Rights, you as an individual have unalienable rights and it is your duty, as it has been throughout the ages to defend them from the natural encroachment of government. Do not bow before their throne...there is only one God, and DC is not it! Likewise, do not degrade your humanity by letting a rogue government trample Natural Law and Natural Rights. It is time to organize and defend that which only you possess...unalienable rights!
From 'The Forgotten Men'...
"The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure." ― Albert Einstein

Help Identify a Craftsman Radial Arm Saw
I purchased a very old Craftsman Radial Arm Saw at a garage sale this weekend, and need some help identifying it.
The Bold Craftsman Name is the only printing still on the machine. On the back base, there is the remains of an old identification label, but it's only remnants of the paper now. It's been torn off.
I don't know how to post a pic here, or if I even can, but I posted it on a Purple Martin web page as well, so maybe you can view it there.
Thanks, Joe
All I can tell you is that I purchased a similar saw in 1974, and the one you have there looks a few years older than that. One thing you could try is to do a Google search for Sears Radial Arm saw manuals. There are several web sites that have extensive collections of such manuals for sale and they sometimes have pictures or photos you can match. You could also try posting in one of the big woodworkers forums, like the forum called "Knots" at finewoodworking.com
Lastly, you can post pictures here by cutting and pasting the individual HTML codes from the site where you store the photos into the body of your message, or you can post an active link to a single photo by cutting an pasting the web address for the picture in the "Optional Link URL" box below the message box when you post. I did this with one of your photos as an illustration.

Little Haiti's Caribbean Marketplace Reopens
The Caribbean Marketplace has become a cultural icon in the Little Haiti community and reopens with much fanfare.
Caribbean Marketplace
5925 NE 2nd Ave, Miami (Besides the Little Haiti Cultural Center)
Hours: Thursday - Sunday, 11AM – 11PM
The long awaited reopening of the Caribbean Marketplace (CMP) is back as a cultural marker in the vibrant Little Haiti community. For years, the venue has been a strong figure along Little Haiti's main corridor and has been easily identified by its bright colors and vibrant activity of vendors as well as Haitian and Caribbean culture. After undergoing a lengthy renovation to transform this cultural gem into a community staple for unique arts and crafts, Caribbean culture, special events, and community events, the highly anticipated reopening positions the Caribbean Marketplace as a vibrant additon to the LIttle Haiti Cultural Center next door and the burgeoning arts and culture spirit in Little Haiti.
The re-establishment of this Marketplace is a collaborative effort of the City of Miami in partnership with the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, the Little Haiti Cultural Complex (LHCC), the Northeast Second Avenue Partnership (NE2P) and District 5 Commissioner Keon Hardemon.
The 9,500-square-foot space includes a refreshment and concession area, gift shops, arts and crafts, retail vendors and space available for private events. The renovations reflect the beautiful diversity of the Caribbean. Low rates, technical and marketing assistance will be provided to all vendors. It is anticipated that new businesses will be created in this cultural hub, resulting in employment opportunities for the local community. A media plan has also been put in place to promote the market to locals and international visitors. Vendor applications are currently being reviewed.
For vendor information: Debra Williams, LHCC Administrative Assistant, (305) 960-2969 or at email@example.com

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Listen up Effective communication requires effort to really understand what is being said
Have you ever been accused of not listening? I suspect that most people have been the recipient of that type of criticism, yet I'm not sure most people realize just how important listening is to our daily life.
Listening is a communication tool; in fact, it can be considered the foundation of all our communication. For instance, if you compare all the elements of communication such as reading, talking, writing and listening, you'll find that listening takes up the greatest amount of your time -- anywhere between 40 to 50 per cent.
Why is listening such an important skill? First of all, listening helps us to connect with people. Effective listening -- taking in and absorbing information from others -- serves to help people respond to us in a positive manner. Good listening that is both non-judgmental and empathetic encourages and invites people to continue their discussion so that some action might arise.
However, listening is not the same as hearing. Listening is a skill that demands an active effort while hearing is more of a "flow through" process. Just because you hear something doesn't mean you understand it. Listening is a way to acknowledge others and show respect for them. It is also a means of reducing stress and can serve as the basis for co-ordination, negotiation and problem solving. Listening requires that you suspend what you are doing, give your full attention to the speaker and suspend your own point of view while the individual shares their information with you.
Listening is especially important for managers and supervisors. Leaders who listen to their employees often learn about opportunities for productivity improvements. Effective listening demonstrates a sense of concern for staff and it is these managers who more easily gain the trust, respect and loyalty of their staff. When effective listening is part of the organizational culture, you will find high levels of productivity and employee morale.
Typically, most of us engage in at least three levels of listening every day. When you are very busy and engaged, you most often listen at the first level. In other words, you might be hearing some conversation but you are actually tuning out and not listening. Perhaps the conversation doesn't really impact on you and/or you have little interest in the topic. Sometimes you might even fake attention but in reality, you are thinking about something else and/or preparing your own response before the person finishes talking.
At the second level, you might be listening to some extent but you are missing the deeper meaning of what is being said. In other words, you may be paying attention to the words but you are missing the emotion that is coming with it. You are missing the feelings and this can lead to misunderstanding. In fact, much of the confusion that creates conflict between people arises because the speaker is led to believe you understand their point of view while in reality you have only listened to the words. You have totally missed the feelings and emotions and therefore you truly do not understand where the speaker was coming from.
The third level of listening is where you want to be in all of your communications. This is known as empathetic listening where you try to put yourself in the speaker's position in order to understand their point of view. It means that as a listener, you acknowledge the individual both verbally and non-verbally, you focus undivided attention on this person and you suspend your own feelings or judgment until the communication is concluded.
I am confident most people want to become better listeners, especially those striving for leadership and management roles as well as those in the helping professions. But how should one go about improving their listening skills. Some of the following activities will go a long way to being a better listener.
Undertake a quick self-assessment -- take time to assess your own listening skills immediately following a conversation. Ask yourself, did you tune the person out? Did you focus all your attention or did your mind wander? Did you interrupt frequently? Did you guess what the person was going to say before they said it? Were you formulating advice and response before the speaker was finished? Did you listen to the emotions that came with the words? If you engaged in any of these behaviours, there is certainly room for improvement.
What's your family history? -- you may not realize it but listening is a learned skill and one that begins early in your family history. A message you might have received in your family include "children should be seen and not heard." All of these messages impact how you listen. For instance, it may cause resistance or it may have taught you to force yourself on others by continually talking without stopping to listen to others. What is your family history?
Where is your self-esteem? -- effective listening requires that you feel good about yourself as well as others. People who feel inferior often listen with victim-like body language. They are afraid to ask questions for clarification and as a result, they often misunderstand directions or misinterpret messages. Still others who see themselves as superior are viewed by others as "not listening" to contrary points of view. Those individuals with good self-esteem will be open and relaxed in their communication and will be viewed as good listeners.
Recognize barriers to listening -- when you are preparing to listen, take notice of the physical barriers that will impact good conversation. Choose to sit at a table or beside a person rather than sitting across a desk because the desk might suggest a superior power relationship that isn't truly there. Be aware of and pay attention to red flag words that might trigger an unwelcome personal emotion that will interfere with the listening of either party.
Pay attention to body language and tone -- effective listening also means paying attention to those little body movements including tone of voice or the personal nuances that can give off unwanted subtle messages. Avoid facial expressions such as rolling your eyes, playing with your hair, creating external noises and/or playing loudly with your pen.
Listening is one of the most important skills that you can develop to be a better communicator. However, listening skills are built on habits that you've grown up with and require a concentrated effort to improve. Failing to do so can have a serious impact on your ability to communicate effectively and poor listening skills can stymie your entire career.

ABSTRACT: Home-based caregiving in Africa was examined in the context of the work of the Home-Based Care Alliance, first launched in 2005 to provide support and advocacy for approximately 30,000 caregivers. A review of ten countries in Africa shows that caregivers were either not included, or only selectively included in government programs. With respect to caregiver advocacy, additional resources, recognition and increased involvement in decision-making were the primary identified concerns. Increased health systems capacity for AIDS management, new regulation, innovative collaborations, decentralization, task-shifting, and caregiver burnout are among the trends identified in the broader policy environment impacting caregivers.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 36(3):367-91.

ABSTRACT: The U.S. social safety net is formed by governmental and nonprofit organizations, which are trying to respond to record levels of need. This is especially true for local level organizations, such as food pantries. The organizational capacity literature has not covered front-line, local, mostly volunteer and low resource organizations in the same depth as larger ones. This analysis is a consideration of whether grassroots nonprofit organizations have the ability to be a strong component of the social safety net. Based on the literature on organizational capacity, a model is developed to examine how service delivery at the local level is affected by organizational capacity. Surprisingly, we find few of the characteristics previously identified as important are statistically significant in this study. Even when so, the material effect is negligible. Current organizational capacity research may apply to larger nonprofits, but not to the tens of thousands of small community nonprofits, a significant limitation to the research to date.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 37(1):111-45.
Article: Adopting evidence-based medically assisted treatments in substance abuse treatment organizations: roles of leadership socialization and funding streams.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the organizational adoption of medically assisted treatments (MAT) for substance use disorders (SUDs) in a representative sample of 555 US for-profit and not-for-profit treatment centers. The study examines organizational adoption of these treatments in an institutionally contested environment that traditionally has valued behavioral treatment, using sociological and resource dependence frameworks. The findings indicate that socialization of leadership, measured by formal clinical education, is related to the adoption of MAT. Funding patterns also affect innovation adoption, with greater adoption associated with higher proportions of earned income from third party fees for services, and less adoption associated with funding from criminal justice sources. These findings may generalize to other social mission-oriented organizations where innovation adoption may be linked to private and public benefit values inherent in the type of socialization of leadership and different patterns of funding support.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 37(1):37-75.

ABSTRACT: Nationwide from 1996 to 2004, the overall proportion of Emergency Department (ED) reimbursement ratios for outpatient ED visits decreased from 57% to 42%. The continued falling of ED reimbursement ratios, which is the share of ED charges that are ultimately paid, is an indicator of the financial pressures facing the ED. Once the healthcare reforms are put in place what will the impact be on reimbursement rates of overburdened and underfunded emergency departments. The purpose of this study is to examine if there is a declining disparity in payment rates for ED care based on payment sources in a safety net ED provider. Findings of this study could indicate how the healthcare reforms might impact these types of ED reimbursement ratios in the upcoming years. This was a retrospective study that examined randomly selected charts of all ED visits charts from May 2002 to May 2008 at a level one adult and pediatric emergency trauma center with 45,000 annual visits. This study was IRB approved. A regression model was used to predict if there was a relationship between amount received and types of insurance payers within the ED. A significant relationship was found between types of insurance (payers) as the independent variable, and the dependent variables of charges (p = .00), payments (p = .00), amount of adjustments (p= .00), and balance remaining after 90 days (p = .00). Who pays for the ED services does impact the ED's bottom line. The privately funded patients will provide an ED with a higher reimbursement ratio per year as compared to those patients who are publicly or self pay. This explains why EDs that provide care for 40% or more publicly or self pay patients have seen a decline in reimbursement ratios. Healthcare reform has the potential to change and possibly improve safety net ED rate of reimbursement depending on how private, public and self pay patients pay for ED services.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 36(4):400-16.

ABSTRACT: The study introduces the "Conflict-Choice model" (C-C) as an analytic framework for studying consumer demand for health and healthcare. The proposed approach integrates the Theory of Consumer Behavior (TCB), the Investment Theory of Demand (ITD), and the Health Belief Model (HBM) into a single model that might be applied to a wide spectrum of health behavior and use of health services. Separating the episode of care into the two phases (patient initiated and physician dominated), the C-C model is limited to the individual's decision to seek service. This phase is dominated by two conflicting and undesirable outcomes that the patient seeks to avoid. The first is discomfort or disutility that accompanies the use of care. The second is the discomfort of illness and a reduced ability to perform social and economic roles, an outcome that may result in a potential decline in income. In this conflict-choice situation, the interrelation between two undesirable conditions and related avoidance gradients result in a behavioral equilibrium. The study applied this framework to the use or non-use of HIV tests. The analysis used the responses of 196,081 individuals in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) of 2003. The analyses supported the expectations based on the newly developed conflict-choice theoretical framework and support the adoption of policies that reduce the tendency to avoid care while increasing the avoidance of undesirable health outcomes.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 36(3):274-96.

ABSTRACT: Understanding practice behaviors of solo/dual physician ownership and associated factors at the national level is important information for policymakers and clinicians in response to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, but poorly understood in the literature. We analyzed nationally representative data (n = 4,720). The study results reveal nearly 33% of the sample reported solo/two-physician practices. Male/minority/older physicians, psychiatrists, favor small practices. Greater market competition was perceived and less charity care was given among solo/two-physician practitioners. The South region was favored by small physician practitioners. Physicians in solo or two-person practices provided fewer services to chronic patients and were dissatisfied with their overall career in medicine. Small practices were favored by international medical graduates (IMGs) and primary care physicians (PCPs). Overall our data suggest that the role of solo/dual physician practices is fading away in the delivery of medicine. Our findings shed light on varied characteristics and practice behaviors of solo/two-physician practitioners, but more research may be needed to reevaluate the potential role of small physician practitioners and find a way to foster a private physician practice model in the context of the newly passed ACA of 2010.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 36(3):297-322.
Article: Organizational restructuring, government control and loss of legitimacy following an organizational crisis: the case of Israel's nonprofit human services.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The study explores organizational restructuring following the occurrence of a crisis. Restructuring activities following an intervention are considered here to be indicators of an organization's loss of legitimacy because they have lost their independent status, a basic characteristic of nonprofit human settings. The study shows that according to the Resource Based View of organization restructuring--experienced as downsizing, neglecting and abandoning of projects--organizations are affected by (a) government intervention in decision making; (b) higher demands for accountability; and (c) higher evaluations of performance gaps. On the basis of the study of a sample of 138 Nonprofit Human Services in Israel, the results show that the higher the level of restructuring, the higher the level of legitimacy. However, organization location in metropolitan areas moderates the link between restructuring and legitimacy loss. We conclude that Israel's nonprofit human services being overly dependent on goverhment funding are more prone to restructuring and losing legitimacy following organizational crisis.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 36(4):460-97.
Article: A longitudinal model of the dynamics between HMOs' consumer-friendliness and preventive health care utilization.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study aims at replicating and extending Xiao and Savage's (2008) research to understand the multidimensional aspect of HMOs distinguished by HMOs' consumer-friendliness, and their relationship to consumers' preventive care utilization. This study develops a dynamic model to consider both concurrent and time lagging effects of HMOs' consumer-friendliness. Our data analysis discloses similar relationship patterns as revealed by Xiao and Savage. Additionally, our findings reveal the time-series changes of the influence of HMOs' consumer-friendliness that either the effects of early experienced HMOs' consumer-friendliness wear out totally or HMOs' consumer-friendly characteristics on the concurrent term contain most of the explanatory power.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 37(1):76-110.
Article: An exploratory study of organization design configurations in health care delivery organizations.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Organizations are configurations of variables that support each other to achieve customer satisfaction. Based on Treacy and Wiersema (1995), we predicted the emergence of two configurations, one supporting a product leadership stance and one predicting the customer intimate approach from a set of 73 for profit health care clinics. In addition, we predicted the emergence of a configuration where the scores on most variables were near the mean for each variable. Using cluster analysis and discriminant function analysis, we identified three configurations: one a "master of two" strategy, one "stuck-in-the-middle," and one showing scores well below the mean on most variables. The implications for organization design and manager actions in the health care industry are discussed.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 37(1):4-36.

Article: Linkages between organization climate and work outcomes: perceptual differences among health service professionals as a function of customer contact intensity.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The delivery of high-quality service, rendered by health service professionals who interact with customers (patients), increases the likelihood that customers will form positive evaluations of the quality of their service encounters as well as high levels of customer satisfaction. Using linkage theory to develop our conceptual framework, we identify four clusters of variables which contribute to a chain of sequential events that connect organization climate to personal and operational work outcomes. We then examine the perceptual differences of service professionals, grouped by intensity of customer contact, with respect to these variables. National data for this project were obtained from multiple sources made available by the Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA). Cross-group differences were tested using a series of variance analyses. The results indicate that level of customer-contact intensity plays a significant role in explaining variation in perceptions of support staff, clinical practitioners, and nurses at the multivariate and univariate levels of analysis. Contact intensity appears to be a core determinant of the nature of work performed by health service professionals as well as their psychological responses to organizational and customer-related dynamics. Health service professionals are important resources because of their specialized knowledge, labor expense, and scarcity. Based on findings from our research, managers are advised to survey employees' perceptions of their organizational environment and design practices that respond to the unique viewpoints of each of the professional groups identified in this study. Such tailoring should help executives maximize the value of investments in human resources by underwriting patient satisfaction and financial sustainability.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 36(4):417-59.
Article: Physical symptoms, chronic and life-threatening illness trajectories among minority and aging populations.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship across race/ethnicity relative to reported subjective physical symptoms and clinically assessed medical conditions among the aging minority population using the Health and Retirement Study data for years 1998-2000. Poisson and negative binomial regressions were used to estimate three count dependent variables: physical symptom, chronic, and life-threatening medical conditions. Results indicate that while Black respondents were 18% more likely to report physical symptoms when compared to White respondents (B = .171, p < .01, e(.171) = 1.18) and 1.06 times more likely to report life-threatening medical conditions (B = .058, p < .01, e(.058) = 1.06), when SES variables were added being Black was no longer significantly associated with physical symptoms and chronic conditions. However, being Black did remain statistically significant and positively associated with life-threatening conditions, even after controlling for SES. Results bear statistical and clinical significance, given that we are examining racial and ethnic groups. First, Blacks are at higher risk for premature death for a variety of reasons; this has implications on financial expenditures and on the quality of life. Second, growth among the Hispanic population is outpacing both White and Black populations. Policy initiatives, including geriatric health education, partnerships with community and grass-roots leaders will promote awareness.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2014; 36(3):323-66.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to obtain information about general and pandemic preparedness efforts of residents within San Patricio County in South Texas, as well as to identify the most effective means of communicating the risks posed by pandemic influenza. The population of San Patricio County is socially vulnerable to a variety of disasters, including influenza pandemics due to the unique demographic profile of the county as well as its location on the Gulf Coast. The goals of this study were to help with pandemic planning efforts and to provide recommendations that could serve as a foundation for building more resilient communities within San Patricio County. Clearly the various governmental levels must work together to assist communities prepare for pandemic preparedness but broad, inclusive community participation is also necessary to strengthen community resilience.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2013; 36(2):164-207.
Article: Exploring the use of grounded theory as a methodological approach to examine the 'black box' of network leadership in the national quality forum.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes how grounded theory was used to investigate the "black box" of network leadership in the creation of the National Quality Forum. Scholars are beginning to recognize the importance of network organizations and are in the embryonic stages of collecting and analyzing data about network leadership processes. Grounded theory, with its focus on deriving theory from empirical data, offers researchers a distinctive way of studying little-known phenomena and is therefore well suited to exploring network leadership processes. Specifically, this paper provides an overview of grounded theory, a discussion of the appropriateness of grounded theory to investigating network phenomena, a description of how the research was conducted, and a discussion of the limitations and lessons learned from using this approach.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2013; 35(4):469-504.

ABSTRACT: Persistent toxic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls and mercury accumulate in tissues of fish that are caught and consumed by sport anglers and their families. Unlike commercially-sold fish, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate sport-caught fish that are contaminated with these and other pollutants. Instead, nearly every state in the U.S. develops and issues consumption advice for contaminated sport-caught fish. We examined fish consumption advice issued by states that border and share waters of the Mississippi River. Our examination identified numerous jurisdictional inconsistencies that threaten the receptivity and credibility of consumption advice and, more important, threaten the health of individuals who consume contaminated sport-caught fish.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2013; 36(2):208-27.

Article: Patient assessment in emergency medical services: complexity and uncertainty in street-level patient processing.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Though still a relatively nascent public function, emergency medical services (EMS) agencies have come to constitute a core local government service. The potentially life-saving interventional and palliative treatments provided by EMS personnel are inarguably vital for positive short- and long-term patient outcomes, yet our understanding of the behavior of these individuals during service interactions is limited. This exploratory research begins to narrow this gap in our understanding of street-level bureaucrats in EMS organizations by analyzing semi-structured interviews of paramedics recounting uncertain and complex accounts of street-level patient processing. Results indicate that factors such as paramedic communication skills, influential bystanders with key incident information, and patient identity serve to shape street-level interactions with patients.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2013; 35(4):505-42.
Article: The golden goose in the crosshairs: the transition to defined contribution pension plans in the public sector: unintended consequences.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: State, county, and local governments are currently facing a myriad of economic issues, based on shrinking tax revenues combined with increased expenditures. Of these, the costs related to defined benefit pension plans are one of the most serious issues facing many public employers. Through a comprehensive review of the existing literature, this article examines how the shift from the defined benefit (DB) to defined contribution (DC) pension plan has the potential to enhance levels of labor unrest due to changes in union militancy, bargaining skills deficits, intra-organizational conflict, and issues related to economic trade-offs. Besides the capacity for immediate and deleterious ramifications in the collective bargaining process, the transition to the DC pension also presents some potentially negative consequences related to human resource management, including changes in the psychological contract, recruitment strategies, employee turnover, and changes in retirement patterns. Recommendations to improve labor relations and human resource management practices in the DC pension environment are also explored.Journal of health and human services administration 01/2013; 35(4):414-68.

Government and private industry have warned that the UK is suffering from a major shortfall of IT skills that will cause untold harm to the country's economy.
The government has tried to fix this shortage both through ravamping the computing curriculum in schools to boost computer science learning, and through initiatives like the cyber strategy in 2011, which pledged to invest £650m to increase the number of skilled IT professionals in the country.
However despite a raft of new initiatives, numerous businesses and government groups remain unconvinced there is a quick-fix to the problem.
Most recently, government spending watchdog, the National Audit Office (NAO), issued a statement claiming the skills gap will last at least another 20 years and cost the nation a massive £27bn per annum.
Eager to see if the doomsday talk is true we caught up with Skype corporate vice president of engineering and operations Mark Gillett to get the inside skinny on his experience overseeing the tech company's recent UK hiring spree.
Gillett discusses Skype's recent recruitment drive in London, which led to the hiring of 100 tech experts, and the challenges Skype encountered when trying to find product developers with the right mix of business and tech skills.
V3 is currently running a Make IT Better campaign, which in partnership with the Corporate IT Forum, aims to improve IT education and fix the growing skills crises facing the IT and digital industry.
This white paper aims to uncover the business attitudes towards enterprise mobility and how the shift to BYOD will affect you.

After a rocky start, Mississippi appears ready to pass a 90% constitutional carry bill. Bickering among second amendment supporters seemed to doom constitutional carry in the state early this year. Hard feelings were ignited between longtime legislative supporters of the second amendment, and serious, unfounded allegations were tossed about. But it appears that those supporting...

South Africa v Argentina - Live
full-time South Africa 27 Argentina 6
80 Argentina try to run the ball from close to their try-line but referee Steve Walsh calls them back when the Boks go offside. Hernandez puts the ball into touch and that brings proceedings to a close. Despite the win, the hosts will be unhappy that they didn't secure the bonus-point as it could play a vital role in deciding who wins the tournament later on. Argentina didn't show much on attack but will fancy causing an upset on their own turf when these teams meet in the return match next week.
78 The Boks are trying hard to secure the bonus-point for scoring four tries and are soon inside the Pumas' 22. Adriaan Strauss carries the ball strongly but is brought to ground by Camacho.
75 It looks like Argentina aren't going to get a try on debut but they will not go down without a fight as they attempt to run from their own 22. They make the ten-metre.
73 Still the Springboks are knocking on the door as they look for a third score. However, it is they who are now turned over so the opportunity goes begging.
70 Nothing comes of that foray but with Steyn now punting the ball into the corner for an attacking line-out, more pressure is expected to be applied by the hosts.
69 South Africa replacement Ruan Pienaar now claims the overthrow and sets off from his own ten-metre, kicking and chasing until the ball bobbles into touch in the away 22. The Boks are looking to finish the job here as Habana soon adds his pace to matters.
66 But the Argentines aren't done yet as they look to post their first try in this new competition. Deja vu though as the Boks steal the ball and break with Frans Steyn and then Habana almost getting past Agulla with 40 metres of open real estate ahead of him.
63 Those changes seem to have helped as the visitors launch a sustained period of pressure on the Bok 22. Here is Hernandez selling one of those dummies he does so well but the home defence stands its ground well and forces a turnover in the end.
60 Ayerza replaces Roncero and Orlandi comes on for Figallo.
58 M STEYN CONVERSION! 27-6! He's on form today.
57 HABANA TRY! 25-6! Very nice indeed from the Springboks. Cross-field kick from Morne Steyn and it is Habana doing the good work in the air before landing and grounding over Horacio Agulla. At last, something for the Newlands faithful to enjoy.
56 This has been a dull opening to the second-half let me tell you. Both teams seem set on not doing anything flash and instead are looking to eke out points.
52 South Africa outside centre De Villiers now runs hard but that is the end of their attack as the skipper failed to release on the ground. A welcome reprieve for Argentina then who should soon bring on Leicester loosehead prop Marcos Ayerza for an impact.
49 One just gets the feeling those missed points could now come back and hurt the Pumas. The Boks have possession on the 22 and will look to turn the screw here.
46 Oh dear, Hernandez misses again. That is his third unsuccessful kick in the second 40 so that means it could have been 20-15! What a lift that would have been?
43 The Pumas are unsuccessful with a penalty attempt to the right of the uprights which would have done them a power of good early on. That precedes a change by visiting head coach Phelan who replaces flanker Alvaro Galindo with Tomas Leonardi.
Second-half Welcome back to Newlands in Cape Town where South Africa will be wanting to seal the result and then go for the try bonus (they have two so far).
40 That is that for the first 40 minutes in Cape Town as South Africa go in 20-6 up. Not the best opening half of Rugby Championship action from Argentina but a try after the break would change things a great deal. Stay with us for the resumption of this one.
38 Argentina manage to repel the latest South African attack via a scrum penalty which leads to fly-half Hernandez sending them close to halfway. There has been little entertainment to speak of in the last ten minutes as coach Santiago Phelan looks on.
35 So we have fourteen points separating these two teams as half-time approaches. Play is on halfway with South Africa kicking towards the corner...but we come back for Argentina being offside earlier in the piece. Heyneke Meyer must be feeling content.
31 HERNANDEZ PENALTY! 20-6! That is wiped off quickly.
29 M STEYN CONVERSION! 20-3! Lovely from wide out.
28 COETZEE TRY! 18-3! The Boks have their second try and it's his first international score for his country. He put his head down and drove over on the right.
25 M STEYN PENALTY! 13-3! South Africa are back in possession now with Francois Steyn taking it up on his 50th appearance for his country. And that leads to a penalty forthcoming which fly-half Morne Steyn should slot over. He does with ease.
22 So we have a seven-point advantage for South Africa at Newlands in Cape Town but don't write off Argentina just yet as the mercurial Hernandez puts one up high again. However, that one isn't the best and Kirchner returns the ball with interest.
18 M STEYN CONVERSION! 10-3! Great strike.
17 KIRCHNER TRY! 8-3! He makes up for his penalty offence and how. The full-back hits a good line following a strong run from Alberts and he is over on the left.
14 HERNANDEZ PENALTY! 3-3! Kirchner didn't roll away.
13 Argentina are enjoying plenty of ball right now as they ease into Rugby Championship action. Lobbe carries it in close quarters but there's little given in defence.
10 Plenty of kicking early on from South Africa as we expected and that leads to possession being in the hands of the visitors, who maul then put it up for Kirchner.
7 Good work from Argentina now at the breakdown as they force a penalty turnover close to the halfway line. Step forward Juan Martin Hernandez with a spiral kick down the touchline. Some territory here for the new-boys and captain Lobbe barks the orders.
4 M STEYN PENALTY! 3-0! Du Plessis limps off after Steyn opens the scoring in Cape Town. Bad and good for South Africa as Adriaan Strauss jogs on.
3 The Boks look threatening here as they shift it from one wing (Mvovo) to the other (Bryan Habana). That almost sees Willem Alberts crashing over in the aftermath but he is pulled down short. All good for South Africa here until Bismarck du Plessis goes down.
Kick-off Here we go then with Steyn getting things underway at Newlands. The weather is good despite lots of rain falling in the week so we should have no excuses for a free-flowing game. Up it goes from Francois Hougaard and it's lost forward by Horacio Agulla - scrum to South Africa 30 metres out from Argentina's try-line. An early change here.
Team news The Springboks name local locks Andries Bekker and Eben Etzebeth in their side while Lwazi Mvovo is in for the injured JP Pietersen. Keegan Daniel runs from number eight in an all-Sharks back-row. Argentina meanwhile, who are without back Felipe Contepomi, name their strongest available XV and will hope his absence isn't a big blow.
Welcome This is it then for Argentina as they put the finishing touches to their warm-up ahead of their Rugby Championship debut. It has been a long time coming but the Pumas are now in the mix of an elite tournament and will be wanting to make a point today. South Africa are confident of joining New Zealand at the top of the table though and will hope Morne Steyn is in good form off the kicking tee. Stay tuned for team news from both camps.
