Arslan Tash
Coordinates: 36°53′34″N 38°21′19″E / 36.89278°N 38.35528°E Arslan Tash (Turkish; Arslan - Lion, Taş - Stone), ancient Hadātu, is an archaeological site in northern Syria, in Aleppo Governorate, around 30km east of the Euphrates River and nearby the town of Kobane (Ain al-Arab).
Arslan Tash | |
Location in Syria | |
Coordinates: 36°53′34″N 38°21′19″E / 36.89278°N 38.35528°E |
The city was the center of an Aramean Iron Age kingdom, which was conquered by Assyria in the 9th century BC. The site includes a Late Assyrian palace, an early shrine to Ishtar and a Hellenistic temple, surrounded by city walls and gates adorned with lions carved from stone.[1]
The site of Arslan Tash was first examined in 1836 by an expedition led by Francis Rawdon Chesney.[2] The first actual excavations were conducted by the French archaeologist François Thureau-Dangin for the Louvre Museum in two short seasons during 1928.[3]
In 2007 and 2008 work at the site resumed when surveys were conducted by a team from University of Bologna and Directorate-General of Antiquities and Museums of the Syrian Arab Republic. The team was led by Anas al-Khabour and Serena Maria Cecchini. Each season lasted about a week, with the later one including geophysical work.
Gateway reliefs[edit]
The Arslan Tash reliefs are bas-reliefs of people and animals on the gates of the city and temple. The dating of the reliefs is uncertain, though one contains an inscription of Tiglath-Pileser III of the Neo-Assyrian Empire[4]
In February 2015, in the Syrian city of Ar-Raqqah, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) publicly ordered the bulldozing of a colossal ancient Assyrian gateway lion sculpture from the 8th century BC.[5] Another lion statue was also destroyed. Both statues originated from the Arslan Tash archaeological site.[6] The destruction was published in the ISIL magazine, Dabiq.
Smaller items[edit]
The most important discoveries from Arslan Tash were, however, the ivory objects of high artistic quality which today are kept at the Archaeological Museum in Aleppo and in the Louvre.
The Arslan Tash amulets are smaller pieces whose authenticity is disputed.[7]

JANET(UK) is the trading name for the JNT Association, which since 1994 has had responsibility for the management of the United Kingdom's Higher Education networking programme. It manages the operation and development of the JANET network, which links the UK's education and research organisations to each other, as well as to the rest of the world through links to the global Internet. It does this under a Service Level Agreement from JISC. Until 7 June 2007, the JNT Association traded as UKERNA, the United Kingdom Education and Research Network Association. The change of name was made so as to identify the company more closely with its core activity, management of JANET. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: JANET(UK))

The front desk clerk was very friendly. The room was spacious and clean.
No one at the front desk when we checked out. Didn't see and couldn't hear anyone behind the counter wasn't sure anyone was even there. Left key in basket marked 'when you leave please leave key here'
Very good breakfast.
Printer in the business center low on ink; not a very full service business center.
Clean and quiet
Not much around for dining
It was very clean, and the hotel staff when we arrived was very friendly.
The rooms were a bit small and the hot tub was a little cold and the jets in the hot tub were not working very well.
It was clean and modern plus they had a pool and hot tub
Couldn't have pets
Charged again for room. Waiting a week for resolution
Everything was great. The breakfast was more than expected and very good.
No complaints.
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable room.
Overall was clean and nice
Snippy young lady working front desk (rest of staff was nice). Ugly decor Housekeeping did not clean room each day and we asked for clean towels, staff acted like we inconvienced them.
Clean facility for the money good breakfast well prepared. Friendly staff. My son had surgery at a local hospital. I never said anything to the staff. When I returned with my son on crutches. The desk clerk enquired on my son's injury he made sure we were comfortable brought us extra pillows. Made us feel very welcome.
Cost of the washer and dryer
The room was very large with what appeared to be a nice 46' flat screen TV. I would certainly revisit this hotel on my next visit to Knoxville.
The breakfast area was adequate bunch bunched up around hotel clerks desk.
Very, very clean. Quiet.
Rooms were small but adequate for two people.

We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Partner Phong Luong says Miro Spanish Grille, slated to close after July 11 at StoneCrest, will be moving to Toringdon Market Shopping Center, into the spot vacated by Brig's (about 2.5 miles away). He estimates the renovation will take not very long, and that Miro will be open in "early fall." Expect 70 percent of the menu to be the same as at the original, with more of what Luong calls "Modern Spanish and Steakhouse" with more healthy options, plus a kids' menu.

when you buy a house, and it says that the taxes are $200. (the house i'm looking at right now) does that mean a month or every six months? i am so confused

Asked by noel1978 at 11:55 PM on May. 1, 2012 in Home & Garden
Level 24 (20,354 Credits)PITI = Principle, Interest, Taxes, Insurance. Could your monthly payment include $200 for taxes? YES. Which would make your property taxes about $2400 a year.

I grew up in the library. I don't remember how often we went, but I can still picture the white shelves, the children's area and the YA section that I eventually "grew into." All of the adventures I was able to experience by simply picking up a book helped create who I am today: curious, open-minded and genuinely excited to learn more about people, places and things.
Discovering that classic novels, such as Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mockingbird or modern fiction like Harry Potter and Twilight , have been challenged in certain areas leaves me a little confused. I simply don't understand the need, urgency or requests that these people make in trying to keep some books of the shelves or out of their child's classrooms.
Kids are exposed to so much these days between TV, the web and simply walking down the street or through the mall (ads are everywhere, many containing what most would consider "adult content"). Books seem so tame in comparison. Those that were written in a different time or place lend opportunities to teach and educate readers, not exploit them or corrupt them.
Without preaching about my philosophy on Intellectual Freedom, I will just show this awesome poster created by the American Library Association .
In my opinion, one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is a library card and instilling within them a love of language and literature that can take them places they might not otherwise go without their Freedom to Read.
Check out the list of the Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2009 . Some titles will surprise you, others may be the next ones you reserve from your local library.
Happy Healthy Hip Parenting

The first week of college football is all but in the books, and if you have survived all five days worth of television watching then I commended you.
There were a lot of highs and lows from week one, and one team came out strong in their first game.
That team was the Alabama Crimson Tide. After their thrashing of Michigan, 41-14, they look to be on a mission to become the first team to repeat as BCS Champions.
However, before we can move onto the next week of television, let's go back and see who were some of the winners and losers of the first week.
Winner: West Virginia Quarterback, Geno Smith
Smith had a performance in Week 1 that was worthy of shooting him to the top of the Heisman Trophy race. Throwing for 326 yards and four touchdowns would have been enough to put Smith into Heisman contention, but completing 32 of 36 passes pegged him as the leader after the first week of football.
In West Virginia's second game, Smith should continue to roll as the Mountaineers go up against James Madison. I'm predicting Smith has a final stat line of: 30-35, 350 yards and five touchdowns.
Loser: Both Pennsylvania BCS school teams (Pittsburgh and Penn State)
It was a bad week for the two BCS schools that share the Keystone State. Penn State suffered their first season-opening loss since 2001; and to make matters worse, their offense didn't complete a pass for more than 22 yards.
However, at least Penn State lost to a team that went to and won their bowl game—Ohio University defeated Utah State 24-23 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl— Pittsburgh on the other hand lost to Youngstown State of the FCS: 31-17.
The lost to the Penguins was an awful way for the Panthers' new head coach Paul Chryst. The Panthers struggled to find a passing game, couldn't get their rushing attack going and allowed Youngstown State to rip their defense to shreds.
It wasn't all bad for Pennsylvania colleges, as California University of PA won their home opener over Hillsdale, 30-22.
Winners: People who put a wager on Oklahoma State +58 vs. Savannah State
Seriously, did anyone think they could not only outscore their opponent by 58, but run the score up that much?
Not only did they prove their doubters wrong, but they could have allowed Savannah State to score three touchdowns as well as a field goal, and still would have been able to cover as they dropped 84 points on poor Savannah State.
Hopefully for the players who took that stomping, they were given a nice parting gift as they left Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Loser: Michigan Quarterback, Denard Robinson
Robinson could have separated himself from the pack of Heisman hopefuls with a good performance and a win against the defending BCS Champions, Alabama. However, not only did he lose, he was held to only 200 passing and 27 rushing yards, plus he threw two interceptions.
Robinson's first game of his senior season couldn't have gone any worse. Well, I guess it could have, because he did throw one touchdown.

George R. Malby
George Roland Malby (September 16, 1857 in Canton, St. Lawrence County, New York – July 5, 1912 in New York City) was an American politician from New York. He was Speaker of the New York State Assembly in 1894, and served three terms in Congress.
He attended Canton Union School and St. Lawrence University. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1881, and commenced the practice of law in Ogdensburg, New York.
Malby was the Justice of the Peace of Oswegatchie, New York.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1891, 1892 (both St. Lawrence Co., 1st D.), 1893, 1894 and 1895 (all three St. Lawrence Co.); and was Minority Leader in 1893, and Speaker in 1894.
He was a member of the New York State Senate (32nd D.) from 1896 to 1906, sitting in the 119th, 120th, 121st, 122nd, 123rd, 124th, 125th, 126th, 127th, 128th and 129th New York State Legislatures.
Malby was elected as a Republican to the 60th, 61st and 62nd United States Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1907, until his death. On December 13, 1911, Malby was the sole dissenter when the House voted 300-1 to terminate relations with Russia based on that nation's discrimination against Jews.[1]
He was buried at Ogdensburg Cemetery in Ogdensburg, N.Y.

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Problems
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) temperature control knob may be hard to turn. Mitsubishi Motors has released a service bulletin outlining the necessary repairs. Repairs involve installing a new air blend door lever and link, lubing the blend door track, and installing a filter on top of the blower motor housing to prevent entry of dirt and debris. If the temperature control assembly has been damaged it will require replacement also.
A hard or no start condition with fault codes P0335 and/or P0340 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) may be due to abnormal wear of the camshaft position sensor support. Our technicians tell us a revised sensor support is available to correct this issue.
The clutch may fail prematurely requiring replacement. It has been recommended by some that a high quality aftermarket replacement clutch may provide increased longevity over a clutch purchased from the dealer.

Not to mention, it is very, very, very reliable. As ha...

From the Division of Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco (Drs Halpern-Felsher, Ozer, Millstein, and Irwin); Kaiser Permanente, San Francisco (Dr Wibbelsman); Kaiser Permanente, Panorama City, Calif (Dr Fuster); and Clinical and Public Health Practice and Outcomes, the American Medical Association, Chicago, Ill (Dr Elster).
Objective To determine whether pediatricians in managed care settings adhere to national guidelines concerning the provision of clinical preventive services.
Design Surveys were mailed between September 1996 and April 1997 to all pediatricians practicing in a California group-model health maintenance organization. The survey asked pediatricians about their screening and education practices on 34 recommended services and the actions taken with adolescent patients who have engaged in risk behavior.
Results The response rate was 66.2% (N = 366). Pediatricians, on average, screened 92% of their adolescent patients for immunization status and blood pressure; 85% for school performance; 60% to 80% for obesity, sexual intercourse, cigarette use, alcohol use, drug use, and seat belt and helmet use; 30% to 47% for access to handguns, suicide, eating disorders, depression, and driving after drinking alcohol; fewer than 20% for use of smokeless tobacco, sexual orientation, sexual and physical abuse, and riding a bike or swimming after drinking alcohol; and 26% to 41% for close friends' engagement in risk behavior. Pediatricians' assessment and education with adolescent patients who screened positive for risk behavior was particularly low. Female physicians, physicians who saw a greater proportion of older adolescents, and recent medical school graduates were more likely to provide preventive services.
Conclusions Pediatricians in this health maintenance organization provide preventive services to adolescent patients at rates below recommendations but at rates greater than physicians in other practice settings. Improvement is especially needed in the areas that contribute most to adolescent mortality and for patients who screen positive for a risk behavior.
MOST ADOLESCENT morbidity and mortality can be attributed to preventable factors, such as alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use (ATOD); unsafe sexual practices; risky vehicle use; and weapons use.1 Although approximately 72% of adolescents visit a physician at least once a year, few are screened for or educated about these health risks. Consequently, national guidelines concerning physicians' provision of comprehensive preventive services to adolescent patients have been developed (eg, Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services2; Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents3; Health Supervision Guidelines4; The Clinician's Handbook of Preventive Services: Put Prevention Into Practice5; and the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services6). In general, these guidelines recommend that all adolescents have an annual, confidential preventive services visit during which primary care physicians screen, educate, and counsel adolescent patients on a number of biomedical, emotional, and sociobehavioral areas currently threatening adolescent health.
Results of the few studies examining physicians' provision of a variety of preventive services to adolescent patients in private practice settings indicate rates far below recommended levels. For example, a review of data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey found that only 1% of adolescent office visits included advice about smoking cessation or counseling about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. Moreover, in about two thirds of adolescent visits, physicians did not counsel adolescents on weight and cholesterol level reduction, smoking cessation, HIV transmission, or breast self-examination.7 Marks and colleagues8 found that fewer than half of the pediatricians in private practice who were surveyed routinely provided anticipatory guidance about drug and alcohol use, sexuality and birth control, peer and family problems, depression, and incest and child abuse; 57% provided guidance regarding smoking; 80% discussed puberty and menstruation; and approximately 60% discussed school, career, and nutrition with adolescent patients. Studies9,10 that assessed provision of preventive services in greater depth within a specific service area (eg, sexual behavior or tobacco use) report similarly low rates of service provision.
Only one study9 has addressed the extent to which physicians provide follow-up services to adolescents who screen positive for risk behavior. This study focused only on screening of sexually active adolescents, finding that physicians in private practice educated approximately 70% of adolescents about sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV transmission; asked 31% to 45% about sexual orientation, frequency of casual sex, and number of previous partners; and provided 10% with condoms.
Only one study11 has sampled physicians in a managed care setting. This study, which focused exclusively on preventive services related to sexual behavior, found that fewer than half of the sexually active female adolescent patients received an annual Papanicolaou smear and fewer than 10% were tested for an STD. No study, to our knowledge, has examined the extent to which physicians practicing in managed care settings provide the breadth of preventive services recommended for adolescent patients. This setting is of particular importance because enrollment in managed care during the past 15 years has increased dramatically, staff physicians can typically provide more preventive services at reduced or no cost to the patients, and most screening and diagnostic materials are now available on site.11
The present study assesses (1) the extent to which pediatricians in a group-model health maintenance organization (HMO) screen and educate adolescent patients concerning a number of health risks, (2) rates of follow-up screening and education to adolescents who report engaging in a risk behavior, (3) the extent to which pediatricians educate parents of adolescent patients, and (4) whether sources of variation in service provision in private practice settings (ie, patient age,10,12,13 physician sex,9,10 and years since medical school graduation9) similarly account for variation in service provision among managed care physicians. It is hypothesized that rates of screening and education will be below recommended levels and that female physicians, more recent graduates, and physicians seeing more older adolescent patients will report providing preventive services to adolescent patients at greater rates than their colleagues.
The study was initially designed to collect baseline data on pediatricians' practices to aid in the selection of sites to be used in the implementation and evaluation of a model for providing adolescent clinical preventive services in an HMO. All primary care pediatricians practicing in pediatric clinics within a group-model HMO in Northern and Southern California were recruited by mail. Physicians who did not specialize in pediatrics, who reported seeing fewer than 1 adolescent patient (aged 12-18 years) in the past 6 months, or who were pool or moonlighting physicians were excluded from the study.
All pediatricians practicing in this HMO were mailed packets in September 1996 (Northern California) and December 1996 (Southern California) that contained a cover letter explaining the primary purpose of the study, a letter endorsing the study from the chair of the Chiefs of Pediatrics, a consent form, an anonymous questionnaire, and an addressed and stamped return envelope. Approximately 2 months later, nonresponders were mailed a second questionnaire and a reminder letter. Another 2 months later, an additional reminder letter and questionnaire were mailed to the remaining nonresponders, and follow-up telephone calls were made within 1 week of this third mailing. Physicians were not compensated for their participation. All procedures were approved by the internal review boards at the University of California, San Francisco, and the participating HMO.
Of 809 packets mailed to physicians, 33 were undeliverable because the physician had moved, retired, or died; also, 73 physicians were excluded because they were pool or moonlighting physicians. Of 703 eligible physicians, 465 returned the questionnaire, for a final response rate of 66.2%. Of the returned questionnaires, 63 were excluded because the physicians reported not seeing any adolescent patients within the last 6 months, 4 were excluded because the physicians were not pediatricians, and another 32 were excluded because of excessive missing data, leaving a final sample of 366 physicians.
Physicians reported their sex; year of graduation from medical school; percentage of time in the clinic; number of adolescent patients seen per day and in the past month; percentage of adolescent patients seen in the past month aged 12 to 13, 14 to 15, 16 to 18, and older than 18 years; whether they encouraged an annual preventive service visit; and whether they provided confidential health care to their adolescent patients.
Physicians were asked about their provision of preventive services to adolescent patients during routine visits, defined as "non–acute care visits, such as routine checkups, sports examinations, and school or employment physicals." Physicians indicated the percentage of adolescent patients and their parents whom they screened and educated on 34 recommended services. Physicians also responded to a set of more detailed questions concerning their practices with patients who screened positive for tobacco use, alcohol use, sexual activity, and nonuse of a seat belt or helmet. Physicians responded to each question on a 0% to 100% scale divided into deciles (ie, 0%-10%-20%-30%, and so on). Similar questions and response scales have been used in other studies9 of physicians' provision of preventive services.
Means and SDs were calculated to describe physicians' reports of the average percentage of adolescent patients who received each of the recommended services and the percentage of physicians who provided each service to all adolescent patients. Bivariate correlations were computed to assess the relation between the proportion of younger adolescents seen (ie, aged 12-13 years) and the average percentage of adolescents screened and educated. To limit the number of analyses, this was conducted only on the practice areas accounting for the largest amount of adolescent morbidity and mortality. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to assess whether physician sex and years since medical school graduation accounted for variation in pediatricians' provision of an unweighted average of the recommended follow-up practices for adolescent patients who had already engaged in a risk behavior. Because the average number of years since medical school graduation was less for female than male physicians, it was necessary to control for one physician variable when examining the effects of the other. This analysis was performed by entering the control variable at the first step and the physician variable of interest at the second step. All statistical analyses were conducted using a software program (SPSS for Windows release 7.5; SPSS Inc, Chicago, Ill).
As indicated in Table 1, the final sample of 366 pediatricians comprised 193 men and 168 women; 5 physicians did not report their sex. Participants had, on average, completed medical school 20 years earlier. Pediatricians reported spending an average of 84% of their time working in the pediatric clinic and seeing an average of 76 adolescent patients in the past month. On average, 43% of the adolescent patients were aged 12 to 13 years, and only 3% of patients were older than 18 years. Twenty-four pediatricians (6.6%) reported having had specialty training in adolescent medicine. Thirty-two percent of physicians encouraged adolescent patients to have an annual preventive services visit. Almost all physicians (92%) provided confidential care to their adolescent patients, with 88% making their policies about confidentiality clear to adolescents and 71% making their policies clear to parents.
Table 2 presents the average percentage of adolescent patients whom physicians reported screening in each of the 24 recommended services. (Two separate analyses were conducted—1 with and 1 without the 24 pediatricians reporting adolescent medicine specialty training. Because both analyses yielded the same pattern of results [data not shown] and the focus of this article was on preventive services among all pediatricians practicing in HMOs, our data include these specialists.) On average, pediatricians reported screening the greatest percentage of adolescents for immunization status, blood pressure, and school performance and the fewest for use of smokeless tobacco, sexual orientation, sexual and physical abuse, and alcohol use while riding a bike or swimming. The pediatricians typically screened 60% to 80% of adolescents for obesity, ATOD, sexual intercourse, and consistency of seat belt and helmet use and 26% to 47% for driving under the influence of alcohol, depression, eating disorders, suicide, access to handguns, and close friends' and families' risk behavior. The SDs for all of these average percentages were large, indicating a broad range of service provision reported by pediatricians.
Published guidelines (eg, Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services2) suggest that physicians screen all of their adolescent patients on each of the areas listed in Table 2. Data from this study revealed that in none of the recommended areas of screening did every physician report screening all of their adolescent patients (Table 2). Because it might be unrealistic to expect physicians to consistently provide each service, physicians' usual screening practices, defined as providing the service to at least 80% of their adolescent patients, were examined. Results indicated that physicians usually provided a mean (SD) of 9.0 (5.4) of these 24 services, and 4% did not provide any of these services as part of their usual practice with adolescent patients.
The average percentage of adolescent patients whom physicians reported educating on each of the recommended service areas is listed in Table 3. On average, physicians reported educating 50% to 65% of adolescents about nutrition, STD and HIV transmission, birth control, risks of alcohol and drug use, injury prevention, and physical growth and fewer than half about psychosexual and psychosocial development or weapons. Physicians reported speaking with 78% of the parents of adolescent patients, discussing normative physical and psychosocial development with just more than 50% of these parents, and discussing monitoring of adolescent behavior and warning signs of emotional distress with fewer than half of the parents. As with screening, the large SDs in education practices reflect a broad range of service provision among sampled pediatricians.
Fewer than one third of the physicians in this study reported educating all of their adolescent patients or their parents on any of the recommended areas (Table 3). Of the 15 areas of education studied, physicians provided a mean (SD) of 5.0 (4.0) of these services to at least 80% of their adolescent patients.
Physicians' practices with patients who screened positive for risk behavior are summarized in Table 4. Physicians reported, on average, assessing 77% and 66% of adolescent patients who reported smoking about the amount smoked and family history of tobacco use, respectively, and educating 84% about the risks of tobacco use. Physicians typically asked just more than 70% of their adolescent patients reporting alcohol use about the amount and frequency of use, just more than 50% about family history of alcohol use or the incidence of driving after drinking alcohol, and fewer than 15% about their use of alcohol in conjunction with other activities. On average, physicians reported performing a pelvic examination and Papanicolaou smear on 33% of their sexually active female adolescent patients and screening 42% for an STD. Most of the other sexually active patients were referred to another clinic for these services. Physicians educated, on average, 70% of their sexually active adolescents about birth control methods, educated 80% about STD and HIV transmission, asked approximately half about the number of sexual partners and/or pregnancy history, provided 22% with condoms and 29% with some other birth control method, and assessed 29% about whether they felt pressured to have sex. On average, physicians reported educating almost 80% of their adolescent patients who reported inconsistent seat belt or helmet use about the associated risks. With a few exceptions, fewer than half of the physicians surveyed provided follow-up assessment and education to all of their adolescent patients who reported already engaging in a risk behavior.
There was a significant negative relation between the percentage of 12- to 13-year-old adolescent patients seen and rates of service provision. Physicians who saw a greater proportion of younger adolescent patients were less likely to ask about sexual intercourse, ATOD, access to handguns, consistency of seat belt use, and risk of suicide than were physicians who reported seeing a greater proportion of older adolescents (r values ranged from −0.12 [P<.05] to −0.22 [P<.01]).
Hierarchical linear regression revealed that after controlling for years since graduation, female physicians screened and educated tobacco-using (R2 change = 0.01; P = .03), alcohol-using (R2 change = 0.02; P = .01), and sexually active adolescent patients (R2 change = 0.05; P = .000) more often than did their male counterparts. Controlling for physicians' sex, more recent graduates screened and educated adolescent patients reporting tobacco use (R2 change = 0.02; P = .005), alcohol use (R2 change = 0.01; P = .06), and sexual activity (R2 change = 0.07; P = .000) more often than did less recent graduates. Combined, physician sex and years since graduation accounted for 5%, 4%, and 16% of the variance in tobacco-, alcohol-, and sexual behavior–related services, respectively (P<.001).
National guidelines2- 6,14 suggest that primary care physicians should play a critical role in preventing and reducing adolescents' participation in behaviors that place them at health risk by screening and educating all adolescent patients on a variety of biomedical, emotional, and sociobehavioral health risks. The present study is the first to examine rates of provision of a wide range of recommended preventive services to adolescent patients among pediatricians practicing in a group-model HMO.
Study results indicate that pediatricians in this HMO are establishing a positive milieu in which to provide preventive services. In accordance with national guidelines2 and a recent position paper from the Society for Adolescent Medicine,15 almost all of the physicians report providing confidential care to their adolescent patients, and they make these policies clear to the patients and their parents. Provision of confidential care to adolescent patients is critical if we want to increase adolescents' willingness to disclose important and often sensitive information to their physicians.16 In addition, despite the California-based HMO's guidelines that adolescents should have a preventive service visit every 2 to 3 years, about one third of the physicians in this study reported encouraging such visits, as recommended by national guidelines.2
Even with the established positive environment, results from this study indicate that rates of provision of preventive services to adolescent patients, as reported by the pediatricians practicing in this HMO, are still below recommended levels.2- 6 On average, pediatricians in this study reported screening most adolescent patients for biomedical services and school performance and about 70% for risk behaviors most associated with adolescent health problems: ATOD and sexual activity. Furthermore, pediatricians educate about half of their adolescent patients about STD and HIV transmission, birth control methods, risks of alcohol and substance use, injury prevention, and nutrition. Physicians report asking fewer than a quarter of their adolescent patients about sexual orientation, level of sexual activity among close friends, sexual or physical abuse, and use of smokeless tobacco.
Although variation in research methods makes comparisons across studies difficult, pediatricians in this HMO seem to be providing preventive services to their adolescent patients at higher rates than those practicing in other settings. For example, Marks et al8 found that 46% to 57% of the pediatricians in private practice studied provide anticipatory guidance regarding sexual activity and ATOD. Using a California sample, Ellen et al12 found that pediatricians screen, on average, 63% to 68% of their 11- to 14-year-old patients for sexual activity or ATOD. However, these rates increase to almost 80% for their 15- to 18-year-old patients. It is possible that the higher rates of screening reported by the HMO physicians in this study reflect greater emphasis on preventive services and access to on-site screening and diagnostic tools, many of which are provided at little or no cost to the patient.
There are 2 areas in which improvements in physicians' practices are particularly warranted. First, an increase in preventive service provision is needed in the areas that contribute most to adolescent mortality. National data1 indicate that unintentional injuries are the leading cause of adolescent death. However, physicians in this study reported screening, on average, fewer than 60% of adolescent patients for seat belt and helmet use, fewer than half for driving under the influence of alcohol, and 11% for alcohol use while riding a bike or swimming. National statistics1 indicate that homicide is the second leading cause of adolescent death, that 31% of boys and 8% of girls reported carrying some form of a weapon, and that 8% of adolescents reported carrying a gun within the past 30 days. Physicians in this study assessed access to handguns in fewer than one third of adolescent patients, and they educated, on average, 25% of patients about weapons. Finally, suicide is the third most common cause of adolescent mortality, with data1 indicating that 6% to 13% of adolescents attempt suicide at least once. Physicians in this study screened, on average, 46% and 35% of their adolescent patients for depression and suicide, respectively.
SECOND, IT IS concerning that pediatricians' average rates of provision of many of the recommended services to their adolescent patients already participating in risk behaviors is low. In particular, pediatricians do not provide condoms or other methods of birth control to many of their sexually active adolescents, and they do not assess whether adolescents ever feel pressured to have sex. Similarly, physicians assessed few patients who reported drinking alcohol about whether they drink while performing another activity, such as bike riding or swimming. These results indicate that screening does not necessarily lead to effective follow-up.
Consistent with results of studies9,10 of physicians in private practice, results of our study revealed that female pediatricians and more recent medical school graduates provide more preventive services than do their colleagues. Although the percentage accounted for in services provided to sexually active adolescents by these variables is small, the 7% accounted for in services provided to sexually active adolescents by years since graduation is substantially larger than reported by others (eg, 1% in the study by Millstein et al9). The significant relation between years since graduation and provision of preventive services likely reflects greater emphasis on prevention in more recent medical school curricula, and the relation between physician sex and prevention practices might reflect a greater comfort in discussing sensitive issues with adolescents, especially about sexuality, among female than male pediatricians.
Also consistent with past research,10,12 results of our study indicate that physicians who see a greater proportion of younger adolescent patients (ie, aged 12-13 years) than older patients report providing fewer preventive services. In contrast, a chart review13 revealed that 13- to 14-year-olds were screened for more biomedical and sociobehavioral risks than were 17- to 18-year-old patients. The findings from the present study might reflect a lack of awareness or a disbelief that adolescents at this young age are already engaging in risk behaviors. This lack of screening is unfortunate because evidence suggests that the average age of initiation of risk behaviors among adolescents is becoming increasingly younger.1
This study is limited by its use of self-report data. Past studies17 indicate that individuals exaggerate their behaviors in self-report questionnaires. In addition, given that the questionnaire was originally intended for site selection, physicians might have overestimated their reported practices because of their desire to participate in the intervention. However, the survey administered for this study was anonymous, thereby serving to reduce response bias and increase honesty. If physicians are overreporting their screening and educating practices, this would suggest that their true preventive service practices are even lower. Finally, this study did not address all of the obstacles believed to impede pediatricians' practices, including lack of comfort in talking with adolescents about sensitive topics such as sexual behavior,18 low self-confidence that prevention messages will be effective in changing adolescent behavior,10,19,20 or the small amount of time allotted for most routine visits (average, 15 minutes).1
In summary, our data reveal that although pediatricians in this HMO are providing many of the 34 recommended services to adolescent patients at greater rates than found in other practice settings, the rates are nevertheless below recommended levels.2- 6 Improvement in physicians' provision of preventive services is especially warranted in the more sensitive areas, in the areas most contributing to adolescent mortality, and for patients who have already screened positive for a risk behavior. The results strongly suggest that the recommendations might need to be prioritized because not all 34 areas are always possible or of equal importance within the typical office visit. Results also indicate that a systems change is needed whereby efforts are made to increase the amount of time allocated per patient visit, to increase the acceptance of additional resources for screening procedures even if additional costs are incurred, and to teach pediatricians the skills necessary to effectively screen and educate adolescent patients on a variety of key emotional and sociobehavioral areas.

Arizona State Sun Devils Will Open 2015 Season vs Texas A&M Aggies
Todd Graham has a plan to put the Arizona State Sun Devils on the college football map and he has started to do it by going out and playing top competition in non-conference play. This season, ASU took on the Wisconsin Badgers (defending Big Ten champs) and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (BCS National Championship game participants) in addition to their rigorous Pac-12 schedule. It's a strategy that gets the ASU brand out into the public eye and helps the Sun Devils recruit on a national level. It's also a strategy they plan to keep rolling with after announcing they will open the 2015 season against the Texas A&M Aggies in Reliant Stadium in Houston.
The game will be the third edition of the Texas Kickoff which started this season with the Oklahoma State Cowboys beating the Mississippi State Bulldogs 21-3 and will continue next season with the LSU Tigers scheduled to take on the Wisconsin Badgers. This event is looking to pair up quality teams for a marquee matchup to kick off the season and have a pair of hot programs on the rise that should provide plenty of fireworks when they face off in 2015.
Texas A&M has splashed onto the national scene since joining the SEC last season and going 11-2 with a huge win over the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa and a Heisman Trophy for then-freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel. Kevin Sumlin is building up A&M as a contender in the SEC West and arguably the premier team in the state of Texas. They have risen quickly in the college football landscape in the last two seasons and will be in a position to make a run possibly at the SEC title and a spot in the college football playoff by 2015.
Arizona State, meanwhile, is making their own push towards national relevancy. Graham has instilled a new-found mental toughness into the program that has the Sun Devils in control of the Pac-12 South race this season with an opportunity to clinch their spot in the Pac-12 title game this weekend against the UCLA Bruins. As they continue to recruit well within the state of Arizona and into California and Texas (including the Houston area), the sky is the limit for the potential of this ASU program in the near future.
By 2015, both teams should be ready to take the next step towards becoming national brands with legitimate talent to get into the national title conversation. Arizona State and Texas A&M will get the 2015 season off to an explosive start as both teams look to break out as national powers.
