Using XML for Web Site Management
Date Added: Nov 2009
Format: PDF
As government Web sites grow in size and complexity, it is important for agencies to develop sounder approaches to Web site management and publication processes. Poor public image, prohibitive maintenance costs, lack of consistency, and limited capacity to provide multiple formats are just some of the problems that many government Web sites are already facing or will face in the near future. The future of e-government will depend in part on the ability of governments to manage their Web sites in a more effective and efficient way to deliver value to citizens.

Product description
Celebrity psychotherapist and hypnotherapist Susan Hepburn has worked with thousands of men and women struggling with addiction. Using a simple yet highly effective self-hypnosis technique, she can help you to 'quit' your particular addiction for good. Written in an easy-to read style with plenty of questionnaires, self help tips, information boxes and case histories, this book can liberate you from addiction and help you to enjoy life again. During hypnotherapy, you will be able to access your subconscious mind - the part of your mind that controls urges and impulses - and effectively 'delete' the behaviours and thoughts that control your addictive behaviour in the first place. You will then be able to 'reprogram' your mind with life-enhancing thoughts and behaviours. Just listening to the CD on a regular basis will do all this for you. Addictions covered include: cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, food, sex, shopping, gambling, the internet. There is also helpful information for loved ones who want to help.

This commitment to detail continues even after the last shingle has been nailed.

Saturday's meeting at Huntingdon has been abandoned due to flooding.
Parts of the Cambridgeshire circuit are under water after course officials staged an inspection on Thursday at 12.30pm.
More rain is also forecast, which left the situation untenable.
Clerk of the course Sulekha Varma said: "We just left it a few hours to see if the water was going to go up or down because it can recede quite quickly, but it is most definitely going up and there is more rain to come.
"Unfortunately we won't be in a position to race on Saturday.
"It's not just the track, it's the facilities.
"The stables are completely flooded and they have to dry out, so we have a big clean-up job on our hands."

CBNNews.com - GENEVA - The organizers of the UN-sponsored Durban II anti-racism conference announced on Tuesday that they deleted some of the anti-Israel sections from the draft resolution.
According to conference coordinator Yuri Boychenko, the changes should allay concerns by Canada, Israel, Australia, Japan, the European Union and the U.S. about the anti-Israel content of the resolution.
Israeli UN Ambassador to Switzerland Roni Leshno-Yaar said the revised resolution hasn't changed its ideological point of view.
"We have come full loop and are back to square one where we reaffirm and single out Israel as a racist state," the ambassador said.
"What we have gone through is that the Iranians and their friends have loaded the draft document with all kinds of paragraphs and then removed them, hoping we would forget that ancient thing, which is back in full force in the first paragraph," he said.
Leshno-Yaar also pointed out that with a month left before Durban II, to be held April 20-24 in Geneva, conference organizers had plenty of time to add more anti-Israel rhetoric to the draft resolution.
"It leaves me with a bad taste and a sense that we're going backwards," he said.
According to Mark Kornblau, spokesman for the team U.S. President Obama dispatched to Geneva, the revised draft reaffirms the Durban I resolution.
Both the U.S. and Israel walked out on Durban I, which among other anti-Israel statements, equated Zionism with racism.

Question Posted Saturday December 18 2010, 4:35 pm

To begin: The person that answered your question before me is somewhat wrong. (Sorry)
As I'm sure you've heard, "too much of anything is not good."
To be honest, I do not think that the amount of clementines you are eating would cause vitamic c overdose, which can happen. Vitamic C, like all of the other nutrients in our bodies are stored for future use, they are not ignored or discarded. When we have a deficiency in these vitamins, our bodies start using the stored vitamin that we have been eating.
Too much vitamin C can cause:
1.Diarrhea: Vitamin C helps in the fight against constipation, but too much vitamin c causes diarrhea
2. Nausea
3. Renal Failure
4. Fatigue
5. Abdominal Cramps
6. Kidney Stones
7. Hindrance in Cancer Treatment
8. Indigestion: If a person has a history of heartburn or indigestion
9. Insomnia
10. Irritation of Esophagus: Like indigestion, too much of vitamin C can cause acid reflux, hence the irritation of the esophagus
11. Drowsiness
12. Decreased Vitamin B12 (dairy)- forms red blood cells and sustaining the nervous system
13. Increased Demand of Oxygen: If you take too much of vitamin C it can give rise to an increased demand for oxygen, which can result in added pressure on the heart.
14. Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining is called gastritis
15. Erosion of Teeth: If a person has been using chew-able vitamin C for a very long period of time, it can cause erosion of the teeth as well.
16. Deep Vein Thrombosis - blood clots in veins
17. Harmful to Red Blood Cells: Excessive amounts of vitamin C can be harmful to the red blood cells, as it causes the destruction of these cells.
This website is really good about explaining how much of vitamic C is too much.

Ask Senaida A Question
answered Saturday December 18 2010, 8:08 pm:
Vitamin C is very good for you. Your body (unless you have some sort of medical issue) is typically pretty good at simply storing or ignoring any extra vitamins you eat and treating them as waste.
However, it's good to note that many of the things which are high in Vitamin C are also high in citric acid. If you eat way, way too much critic acid, you can end up with a sore throat and mouth, or irritate your skin. It's not dangerous, but if you find your hands starting to itch or dry out, or clementines giving you a sore throat, then it's time to cut back a bit.
Of course, that doesn't apply if you are taking vitamin C supplements as well. It's pretty much impossible to overdose on Vitamin C from eating foods high in Vitamin C, the amount you'd need to eat in a short period is huge, but it's a bit more possible when you are using manufactured supplements or shots. Vitamin C overdose can cause diarrhea and nausea, and in some people, more serious problems.

I had an app that used to work fine in ios4 and earlier os but I'm now seeing frequent EXC_BAD_ACCESS while trying to run it on the simulator for ios5. Unfortunately, I'm now on xcode 4.2 and I'm unable to see my zombie objects when I get an error.
The app never crashes on the phone but it consistently crashes on the simulator so I want to see what's causing the crash before submitting an update. Whenever I get the error (and it's happening from multiple views), I get
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil); Thread 1: Program received signal: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS"
I'm enabled NSZombie both from the diagnostics screen and the variables tab and yet I still can't see anything. Even adding a line in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions which purpossely releases the same object several times gives me this error at launch but never gets reported as an NSZombie.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, when these errors happen, this is what I see in the debug window. This looks like the stack trace but is there any way I can get line numbers with it?

Inflating The Market
by Paul on 06/30/07 at 11:16 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,
"What this does is not only escalate what the top players in the game will make, but brings up the bottom end, too," an NHL general manager said. "Under the old [collective agreement], the minimum salary was around $175,000. But how many players made that much? None.
"At the other end, now a player can make as much as $10.06-million under the cap [it was $8.8-million in 2006-07].
"I'm not sure any of the unrestricted free agents this summer are worth that. But it gives room for teams to inflate the market."
That's why a talented player such as Brière this week spurned a five-season, $25-million offer from the Buffalo Sabres to test the market. The same is the case for Sabres co-captain Drury, Detroit Red Wings defenceman Mathieu Schneider and Smyth.

Ducks Plan To Bargain Shop

from the OC Register,
"I would predict confidently not to expect much of anything," Burke said Friday. "We'll be shopping at Kmart."
Still, there is always the possibility that Burke's cell phone could be among those ringing Sunday.
With Niedermayer and right wing Teemu Selanne — another 2005 free-agent addition who has led the club in scoring each of the past two seasons — still considering retirement, the Ducks do have some significant potential openings. Burke is expected to listen if representatives of any of the top available free agents make overtures, but more likely the Ducks will wait to see what Niedermayer and Selanne decide, and then deal with whatever situations arise.

from the Daily Herald,
"I think we'll get something done," Tallon said. "We offered him a fair contract, so I'm hopeful."
At one point it was believed there was no chance the Hawks would re-sign Handzus, who was thought to be seeking a four-year contract in the neighborhood of $16 million. It's not known exactly what the Hawks have offered, but it might be as high as $3.5 million to $3.8 million a year for at least three years.

Sabres Could Be A Much Different Team
by Paul on 06/30/07 at 10:39 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Buffalo News,
Anxiety is intensifying as the deadline approaches because incoming contract proposals could blow away anything the Sabres can put together. Also on the brink of unrestricted free agency are forwards Adam Mair, Michael Ryan and Dainius Zubrus, defenseman Teppo Numminen and goalie Ty Conklin.
Sources close to the team say Mair is close signing a multiyear extension. The Presidents' Trophy winners are making a push to sign him before Sunday.
The signing of Mair, however, would do little to quell the angst surrounding the futures of Briere and Drury, players who accounted for more than 20 percent of the team's winning goals in the regular season and 35 percent in the playoffs.

Rangers Thinking Center

Comments (0)
from the Record,
The Rangers are focused on re-signing unrestricted free agent-to-be Michael Nylander, who arguably has been the biggest post-lockout bargain in the entire league as he's flourished alongside Jaromir Jagr while making just over $2 million per year.
He's likely to command in the neighborhood of $4 to 5 million per year over three or four years.
The Rangers also are very much in the mix for either Buffalo's Chris Drury or the Devils' Scott Gomez, both of whom become unrestricted free agents Sunday as well and plan to test the open market. Mark Witkin, Drury's agent, said earlier in the week that it was too early to comment on his client's situation.

Kings Plan To Pursue Top UFAs
by Paul on 06/30/07 at 10:30 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Rich Hammond at Inside the Kings,
I asked Lombardi about the fact that the Kings have been attached to many of the top free agents out there and asked him if it was safe to say that they would be aggressive when the signing period begins.
``When you use the word aggressive, I think it's safe to say that we'll be persuing some of those (high-profile) names,'' Lombardi said. ```That being said, it's all about the right player for the right price when you get to free agency. Sometimes you get into talks and you throw a big (salary) figure out there and you end up saying, `What did I do?' and you have buyer's remorse. You have to take the emotion out of him. On the other hand, I'm certainly not going to sit here doing nothing.''

from the Detroit News,
General manager Ken Holland continues to negotiate with agents for goalie Dominik Hasek; defensemen Mathieu Schneider and Danny Markov; and forward Todd Bertuzzi.
"I expect we'll keep talking to all of them up until the last day," Holland said this week.
A deal with Hasek could be struck today, probably a one-year contract worth from $2 million to $2.5 million.

Where They Could Land

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
Here's 15 to look at, how much they could get and where they could go.
1. Centre Daniel Briere, 28, Buffalo Sabres
Hard to believe Phoenix once traded this kid to Buffalo for Chris Gratton because they wanted to get bigger. He's the flashiest of all of the free agents, capable of 50 goals and 100 points. The Flyers will make the strongest pitch for him because Don Luce, the former Sabres' scouting guru, now works for Philadelphia, and Briere's good friend, Martin Biron, is the Flyers goalie. How much will it cost? Eight million dollars.

MIDDLEBURY — Gov. Peter Shumlin on Wednesday appointed longtime deputy Donald Keeler to succeed the late James Coons as Addison County Sheriff.
Keeler, a Middlebury resident and 40-year member of the Addison County Sheriff's Department, had recently been endorsed for the post by both the Addison County Democratic and Republican parties. Keeler began as a part-time deputy with the department in 1972, and joined on a full-time basis in 1988 at Coons' request after Keeler sold his Court Street gas station.

VERGENNES — The owner of a Vergennes riverfront parcel just southwest of the Otter Creek bridge now envisions two buildings on it, including a restaurant with a deck overlooking the water.
Hinesburg architect Leonard Duffy also believes there is demand for a bank with a drive-up window on the vacant 1.1 acres he has owned since 1980.
FERRISBURGH — Recommendations for improvements intended to make it safer for children near Ferrisburgh Central School to walk to school earned mixed reviews from the Ferrisburgh selectboard on Tuesday.
Most selectboard members said they liked at least some of the proposals in a report developed by a town Safe Route to Schools (SRTS) committee with help from the Vermont Agency of Transportation's SRTS Resource Center.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh selectmen on Tuesday agreed to let supervised Ferrisburgh Central School students tap maple trees on the town-owned Union Meeting Hall property on Route 7 — with one provision.
The proposal came from FCS parent Nick Patch, who has a portable maple sugar house. Patch sought the board's permission to tap the maples, which are about 400 yards from the school across the state highway.
ADDISON COUNTY — Barring write-in campaigns before the state's Aug. 28 primary election, Addison County will see no primary contests for seats in the Vermont House of Representatives and only three contested House elections in November.
Democratic incumbents in the Addison-1 Middlebury district — Betty Nuovo and Paul Ralston — and the Addison-4 district representing Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton and Starksboro — Dave Sharpe and Mike Fisher — will run unopposed.
MIDDLEBURY — With strong pitching and more than half his roster — nine of 16 — back from a team that made a 2011 run to the Vermont American Legion playoffs, Addison County Legion baseball coach Mike Estey felt positive heading into this season's opener.
That game will be played on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., a non-league contest vs. Bellows Falls on AC's home field, the Middlebury College diamond.
ADDISON COUNTY — The spring of 2012 proved to be solid across the board for the local high school softball teams. Vergennes surged to a 14-5 record and a berth in the Division II semifinals, while the other three squads played well enough to earn home playoff games.
The local high school sports year began the same way it always does in August, with students sweating on steamy fields.
On Saturday, it ended the way athletes, parents and fans dream about: Vergennes pitcher Devin Hayes struck out the final Missisquoi batter in the Division II final and raised his arms in triumph. The stands erupted in cheers, and his teammates raced to the mound and buried him in a mound of blue and gray uniforms.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen and planners on Tuesday agreed on a series of tweaks to proposed zoning regulations and said they hope to schedule a public hearing on the new rules by mid-July.
Most of the changes agreed upon at a council meeting attended by six members of the planning commission derived from testimony at the council's May 8 public hearing on the proposed laws:
• Multi-family homes will be allowed in the Otter Creek Basin District, as suggested by a property owner.
VERGENNES — In addition to discussing new zoning at a Tuesday meeting, the Vergennes City Council also took care of a number of other issues. At the June 12 meeting, aldermen:
• Said they would not take up the issue of a new policy for displays on the city green — notably including the longstanding Christian crèche — until July. Before then, the latest draft of a policy will circulate to council members and then be posted at vergennes.org.

celebrated a further acquisition of this by cracking a bottle to accompany a beautiful cantonese BBQ lunch today.
this wine continues to put on more weight than a middle-aged diabetic, it now is full-bodied, rich and crammed full of everything you want in great wine. Classic nose of violets, anise and mint, the massive palate kept in check by beautiful, smooth and ripe tannins. Immensely broad finish, dark chocolate, cool fruits, liquorice and spice, with length to burn. What a wonderful demonstration of Pomerol in 2010, which continues to astound with it's extraordinary quality.
This wine will plateau in 10-15 years, but the journey to get there will be incredibly enjoyable for those fortunate enough to experience it.
No doubt, this and Le Gay are the smart right-bank buys in 2010.

Lots of dark fruits and some flowers in the nose; quite concentrated and heavy on the palate with lots of fruits and a bit too much wood spices; overall, 93-94 points; needed quite a few more years too.
The 2010 La Conseillante is just a brilliant wine, and every time I taste it I'm inclined to agree with Jean-Michel Laporte in thinking one of the best La Conseillante vintages ever. Bursting from the glass with a deep bouquet of black raspberry, mulberry, gravelly soil tones, incipient black truffle and violets, on the palate the wine deep, layered, and unerringly precise, sacrificing none of its trademark elegance despite its massive scale. It has already absorbed its new oak, and the finish is pure and very long. While the wine is relatively shut down right now, its immense quality is impossible to miss.
Neal Martin is on the money here. Incredibly focused wine full of blueberry violate anise and cassis aromas and flavour, very linear at the moment, but absolutely certain to blossom into something very very special with another decade. I was surprised how much weight this has put on over the past 18 months, when last I tried this wine. Must get some more of this.
Bordeaux 2009 vs. 2010 - check in on 10 High Performers: Very dark purple. Reserved nose of blue fruit, toast, chocolate. As a matter of fact, quite linear Merlot at this time due to its reductiveness. On the palate medium bodied with quite pronounced acidity. Difficult to assess due to its closeness. Mid mouth fill is better than the 09. I have seen La Conseillante being in this sleepy phase and then 10-15 later opening up and delivering a greatly aromatic wine. I am quite confident this will take the same road and then may even ad a point or two. 94-96 (Group Score 95.4/RP96)

BY REP. LAMAR SMITH, Investor's Business Daily
The modern encyclopedia Wikipedia says, "the term 'mainstream' media denotes those generally reflective of the prevailing currents of thought, influence or activity."
But the opinions expressed by the media are neither widespread nor accepted by the majority of Americans. To call today's national media "mainstream" is inaccurate. They are better described as the "liberal" national media. Regardless, the term "mainstream" should be dropped.
According to a Gallup poll, 55% of Americans have little or no confidence in the national media to report fully, accurately and fairly. Americans are right to be skeptical about the news they receive.
How can something be considered "mainstream" if the majority of people lack confidence in it?
Journalists and the public have very different views regarding illegal immigration, for example.
In a Pew Research Center Poll, fewer than one in five journalists said they thought "reducing illegal immigration" was a "top priority." Yet over half the American people rated illegal immigration reduction as a "top priority."
Gun control is another issue where the national media are not "mainstream." According to a study by the University of Connecticut's Department of Public Policy, only 25% of journalists listed the Second Amendment "right to own firearms" as being "essential." A Gallup poll conducted last year shows public support for the right to bear arms to be at an all-time high of 73%.
In 2008, Investor's Business Daily found that an analysis of federal records showed the amount of money journalists contributed in the 2008 election cycle favored Democrats by a 15:1 ratio over Republicans. Two-hundred thirty-five journalists donated to Democrats, only 20 gave to Republicans.
The national media shouldn't be considered "mainstream" until the majority of Americans and journalists are on the same page. The bias of journalists in the national media has left them not only on a different page than the average American, but in an entirely different publication too.

AOL Buys Huffington Post; L.A.'s Arianna Huffington to Head up New Merger of AOL-Post Content
In our coverage of AOL's hyper-local news sites called Patch, we indicated the company's leadership might not entirely get how online news works or makes money.
Well, maybe they're starting to get it, because AOL just purchased one of the hottest properties in the world of web-based journalism, L.A. millionaire-socialite-author Arianna Huffington's Huffington Post.
In a statement dated Feb. 7, AOL states the purchase price is $315 million and that's going to give Arianna and friends $300 in cash upfront ...
... because what this limousine liberal needs is more money.
AOL states that the Post, established in 2005 and based mostly on news aggregation and unpaid opinion pieces (L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has used the site to spin his favorite issues), reaches 25 million unique visitors a month.
Huffington herself is part of the deal: She'll head AOL's "Huffington Post Media Group," which will be an umbrella for AOL's coverage of news, tech, women, "local," and more.
Because after this $300 million-plus deal she needs even more money (earned partly from unpaid writers).
AOL boasts the Post will help it reach 117 million Americans.

Older adults tend to underutilize mental health care (MHC). The objective of this study was to examine relationships among perceived need for care, illness characteristics, attitudes toward care, and probability of MHC utilization by older adults.
1,681 community-dwelling adults ≥ 65 from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (2001–2003).
Self-reported MHC use and perceived need for care in the past 12 months, past-year and history of mental illness, physical illness, attitudes toward care, and sociodemographics.
Of the entire sample, 6.5% received some type of MHC in the past year, although 65.9% of those with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 72.5% with anxiety did not receive MHC. Among respondents with past-year depression or anxiety, utilization was less likely for those with low World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale (WHO-DAS) self-care ability. Utilization was more likely for those with more chronic physical conditions and worse WHO-DAS cognitive capacity. Of those with perceived need for MHC, 17% did not receive it. Among respondents with perceived need, subthreshold generalized anxiety disorder was associated with lower likelihood of utilization. Utilization was more likely for older respondents, those with more household members, at least a high school education, and better self-care ability. 41% of those who perceived a need for care but did not use it met past-year diagnostic criteria for anxiety and 17% met criteria for MDD.
Understanding the perceptions that underlie individuals' health care-seeking behavior is an important step toward reducing underutilization of MHC by older adults.
Older adults experience symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illnesses differently from younger people, and they are less likely to use mental health care (MHC) than younger adults with mental illnesses. Many older adults feel they should keep symptoms of depression to themselves; some also believe that depression is a normal part of aging.1–2 If they do seek help for their condition, it is more likely to be delivered by a primary care practitioner (PCP) than a mental health specialist.3–4
Depression and anxiety often co-occur with physical illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes in older adults, and this can lead to lower health-related quality of life and increased costs from greater health service utilization.5–12 Addressing barriers to utilization helps reduce unmet need for mental health care (MHC), which might improve outcomes and reduce costs for both physical health care and mental health care.13
Little attention has been paid to determinants of recent MHC utilization in older adults other than current symptomatology of the older person and the characteristics of the health care system. Perceptions of need for care, attitudes toward care, and mental illness history are largely ignored. When attitudes toward care are measured in older adults, they are rarely examined at the same time as utilization patterns.14 History of mental and physical illness, as well as severity of current mental illness, are associated with greater perceived need for care.15–16 Past-year diagnoses appear to be related directly to perceived need and only indirectly to utilization,17 but the differential impact of subclinical mental illness and history of illness on perceived need versus MHC utilization is unclear. An understanding of how older adults evaluate their mental health status and treatment options may help health care providers communicate more effectively with their patients and reduce attitudinal barriers to MHC.
In this study, we examine how perceptions of need for MHC, current mental illness, history of mental illness, physical illness, alcohol abuse/dependence, and attitudes toward care are related to probability and delay of MHC utilization among older adults.
Data from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES), a public dataset collected between 2001 and 2003, are the most recent data addressing MHC utilization patterns among older community-dwelling adults in the United States. Further details about the CPES are available elsewhere,18–19 but briefly, it includes data from three in-person surveys about mental health: the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R), the National Survey of American Life (NSAL), and the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). Respondents were randomly selected through sampling of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and counties, segments within these primary areas, households, and one or two respondents per household.18 The data are weighted to account for different probabilities of selection into the sample as well as for oversampling of racial/ethnic minorities. While the surveys include adults of all ages, this analysis considered only adults 65 years of age or older (N = 2,626). After excluding NCS-R respondents who responded to an abbreviated version of the survey and NLAAS respondents for whom complete diagnostic information was not available, 1,681 respondents were included in the analysis (NCS-R n = 709, NSAL n = 395, NLAAS n = 577). The American Association of Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) response rate calculation formula 3 for each component survey was: 70.9% in the primary NCS-R sample; 80.4% in the secondary NCS-R sample (second family member within same household); 71.5% in the NSAL; and 73.2% in the NLAAS.18 The sample reflects sociodemographic characteristics of the United States; our sample includes 81.8% White Non-Latino respondents, 8.0% African American respondents, and 43.3% male respondents, compared to U.S. Census figures of 83.6% White Non-Latino, 8.1% African American, and 44.5% male.20 Secondary analysis of these data was granted exempt status from the University of Minnesota's Institutional Review Board.
The dependent variable was utilization of any MHC in the past 12 months, and the explanatory variables were current and past diagnoses and symptoms of mental illness, number of chronic physical illnesses and alcohol abuse symptoms, and perceived need for MHC. Delay of care-seeking, attitudes toward care, sociodemographics, and possession of private insurance also were measured.
CPES respondents reported whether they received any MHC from either a PCP (physician, nurse, or occupational therapist) or mental health specialist (psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, psychiatric nurse, or counselor) in the past year. The determination of what constituted MHC was left to each respondent. Prescription medications being taken for mental health reasons without an accompanying visit to a provider were not counted as utilization, similar to other studies of MHC use patterns.16,21–22
Diagnostic algorithms within the World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative's adaptation of the World Health Organization (WHO) Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0) were used to determine whether respondents met the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) criteria (without hierarchy) for probable major depressive disorder (MDD), dysthymia, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), another anxiety disorder (post-traumatic stress disorder, agoraphobia with or without panic disorder, panic attack, panic disorder, and social phobia), and/or alcohol abuse or dependence in the past 12 months or earlier in their lifetimes.23–24 The CPES does not include algorithms for subsyndromal conditions, so we modeled subsyndromal GAD diagnoses after a previous study of the condition.25 The minor depression diagnoses reflect DSM-IV criteria for further study.23 Respondents also reported the number of depression and anxiety symptoms they experienced during their worst lifetime episode of either condition.
We summed the number of chronic conditions (heart troubles, ulcers, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, or chronic lung disease) that respondents reported ever experiencing. Cognitive functioning, self-care ability, and mobility were measured by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHO-DAS II).26–27 Scores are a product of frequency (number of days) and severity of problems (none, mild, moderate, severe) respondents reported experiencing in the past 30 days and are normalized to have values ranging from 0 to 100, where higher numbers indicate worse functioning.
Perceived need was ascertained for all respondents. Those who received MHC in the past year were asked if they sought care voluntarily. Respondents who did not receive MHC in the past year were asked if they felt a need to seek professional care in the past year for emotional or substance abuse issues. Those who said yes to either question were categorized as perceiving a need for MHC.28
Respondents who indicated a perceived need for MHC but who waited at least four weeks before receiving care were categorized as delaying care and were asked about reasons for this delay. Respondents who indicated a perceived need for MHC but who did not receive care also were asked about their attitudes toward care.
Respondents' age, gender, race, marital status, household size, and possession of private insurance were recorded. Race was self-reported and was included in order to determine whether trends for less MHC use in minorities are seen in older adults.
We used survey commands in SAS, version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC) and SAS-callable SUDAAN, version 9.0.3 (RTI International, Raleigh, NC) to account for sampling weights in all analyses. Bivariate relationships between utilization and explanatory variables were tested with Rao-Scott chi-square tests with the "surveyfreq" procedure in SAS and t-tests in SUDAAN. Logistic regression in SUDAAN was used to examine relationships among illness characteristics, sociodemographics, perceived need, and utilization of MHC. Regressions were run on the full sample and then on two subsamples: those who met past-year diagnostic criteria (clinical need) and those who reported a perceived need for MHC in the past year. Additional Rao-Scott chi-square and t-tests were performed to examine differences between those who delayed and did not delay seeking care.
Relatively few people had current MDD (2.9%), but 7.0% met diagnostic criteria for MDD prior to the year of the study (Table 1). Of the entire sample, 2.0% met criteria for dysthymia and 2.2% met criteria for lifetime incidence of minor depression. Many respondents met diagnostic criteria for GAD or another anxiety disorder in the past 12 months (7.5%) and prior to the year of the study (14.2%). Of the entire sample, 5.0% met criteria for lifetime incidence of subthreshold GAD. Few (4.5%) reported any symptoms of alcohol abuse or dependence over their lifetime.
Of the entire sample, 6.5% (138) received some type of MHC in the past 12 months. Of the respondents who met past-year diagnostic criteria for MDD, 65.9% (51) did not receive MHC in the past 12 months. Of those who met diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder, 72.4% (130) did not receive care in the past 12 months. Of those who reported a perceived need for MHC, 17% (36) did not receive it (Table 1).
In bivariate analyses of the entire sample, MHC utilization was more likely for respondents with past-year or history of any depression or anxiety condition other than minor depression (Table 1). Utilization also was more likely among women, those who perceived a need for care and those with a history of more chronic physical conditions. Respondents with worse cognitive functioning and mobility were more likely to use MHC as well.
In multivariate logistic regression of the entire sample, respondents who met past-year MDD criteria were four times as likely to seek MHC as those who did not meet criteria (Table 2), and those who met past-year anxiety disorder criteria were more than six times as likely to seek MHC as those who did not meet criteria. History of an anxiety disorder was associated with twice the odds of seeking MHC. Respondents who reported any past symptoms of alcohol abuse or dependence were more likely to seek MHC as well. Women and respondents with private insurance were more likely to seek MHC.
As noted above, the majority of those who had past-year depression or anxiety did not receive MHC. In a multivariate logistic model, we found that among those with past-year depression or anxiety, those with lower self-care ability were less likely to receive MHC. Increased likelihood of receiving MHC was found for those with more lifetime chronic physical conditions (OR/ condition = 1.72, 95% CI = [1.22, 2.42]) and with worse cognitive scores. Neither the number of symptoms of depression nor anxiety was significantly related to probability of utilization.
Clinical indicators of need, however, provide an incomplete picture of reasons for underutilization of MHC. Of those who had past-year depression, only 49.5% reported a perceived need for care, and 41.6% of those with past-year anxiety perceived a need for care. Perception of need for care also was not a sufficient condition for MHC receipt. Of those who perceived a need for care, 17.1% (36) did not seek care at all and 20.5% (43) delayed seeking care for at least four weeks.
Lifetime incidence of subthreshold GAD was related to lower odds of utilization among those who perceived a need for care (Table 2; OR = 0.20, 95% CI = [0.05, 0.84]). Past-year or history of depression or anxiety was not related to the odds of utilization, but increased age, larger household size, greater education, and better self-care scores were related to increased odds of utilization. The results of this model, however, should be interpreted with caution due to the small number of observations. Of the 36 respondents who perceived a need for care but did not receive any MHC in the past 12 months, 21 answered questions about their attitudes toward care. Of these, nine reported that the problem went away by itself. For the remaining 12 whose problems did not go away, the most common reasons for not seeking care were that they wanted to handle the issue on their own (n=7) or they were concerned about the cost of treatment (n=5).
There were few differences in illness characteristics between those who perceived a need for care but delayed seeking it, versus those who sought care immediately. Those who delayed care had better scores on the WHO-DAS mobility measure (mean = 5.75, standard error [SE] = 1.74 for those who delayed; mean = 16.06, SE = 2.97, p = .002) for those who did not delay care receipt) (Table 3). Those who delayed care also were more likely to have met diagnostic criteria for dysthymia (17.1% of those who delayed care had dysthymia versus 4.6% of those who did not delay care, p = .04). Race also was related to delay of care. Of those who delayed care, 9.5% were African American/Afro-Caribbean and 22.4% were Asian, Hispanic or of other racial/ethnic backgrounds, while of those who did not delay care, 3.9% were African American/Afro-Caribbean and 9.4% were Asian, Hispanic or of other racial/ethnic backgrounds (p = .04).
Respondents with perceived need who delayed seeking care were surveyed about their attitudes toward MHC (Table 4). The most common reasons for delaying care were perceived seriousness (33 of those who delayed care were not bothered very much by the problem at first and 31 thought the problem would get better on its own) and views of appropriate treatment (32 wanted to handle the problem by themselves and 21 did not think treatment would be useful). Several also had problems concerning the logistics of receiving care: 13 did not know where to go for care, 13 had scheduling difficulties, 7 had problems with insurance coverage, and 5 could not get an appointment. Five respondents who delayed care reported doing so because of stigma associated with mental illness. Attitudinal questions were not asked of respondents who received care immediately after perceiving a need for it.
Utilization of MHC was more likely for females, those with past-year depression or anxiety, a history of anxiety, or private insurance. This pattern is similar to results of other studies of utilization of mental health care that include older adults.21, 29–31 Furthermore, older adults with a history of any alcohol abuse or dependence were more likely to use MHC. Similarly, in a sample that included older adults, a comorbid diagnosis of alcohol abuse/dependence along with anxiety or depression was related to a higher likelihood of MHC utilization.32 Subthreshold conditions were not related to odds of utilization in this sample. Rather than examining correlates of utilization in the entire sample, however, it is more important to understand the factors related to underutilization for those with clinical and perceived need.
Almost two-thirds of our sample with clinical need (past-year depression and/or anxiety) did not receive mental health care from a primary care provider or mental health specialist, which is a greater amount of unmet need for formal care utilization than that found in samples including younger adults.22,33 Underutilization was more likely for those with fewer chronic physical conditions, consistent with other literature demonstrating a relationship between better physical health and lower odds of using MHC.31,34 Older adults seeking care for a chronic physical condition may be more likely to mention a mental health issue to their primary care provider. Underutilization was more likely for those with diminished self-care abilities and better cognitive capacity. Worse self-care scores may indicate difficulties in accessing care or a focus on the physical conditions corresponding to limited self-care ability.35–36 Worsening cognitive function may reflect somatic symptoms of depression or anxiety, such as lower concentration or energy, that lead older adults to seek MHC.37 Furthermore, older adults with better cognitive functioning may be better able to explore informal treatment options, thereby avoiding MHC use.
Perceptions of need are important for increasing MHC utilization rates,38 and we did find a large disparity between clinical and perceived need. Underutilization of MHC persists, however, in the face of perceived need, both in our sample and in younger adults.16 While the gap between perceived need and care use was lower in our sample than in younger adults16, this gap still represents millions of older adults who are not receiving MHC they feel they need. In contrast to a different analysis of older adults with perceived need for MHC, where only younger age was associated with underutilization,17 we found that lifetime incidence of subthreshold GAD, younger age, smaller household size, less education and worse self-care ability were related to underutilization.
Attitudes toward MHC seemed to play a large role in decisions to delay or not seek care among those with perceived need. Reasons for not seeking care or for delaying care often included symptom severity perception or desire to solve issues independently rather than scheduling, insurance, or fears about MHC. These attitudes likely are the reason for care delay, although in this data, attitudes toward care were asked only of respondents who perceived a need for MHC and then either delayed or did not receive any care. Despite respondents' perceptions of low symptom severity, of those who perceived a need for care but delayed seeking care, 13.5% met past-year criteria for MDD and 40.2% met past-year criteria for an anxiety disorder. Of those who perceived a need for care but did not use any, 17.1% met past-year criteria for MDD and 41.1% met past-year criteria for an anxiety disorder, suggesting that MHC may be beneficial for these respondents.
Our study has several limitations. First, we do not know the attitudes of all respondents toward MHC. We can look at patterns of attitudes only among those who perceived a need for care and delayed seeking that care for at least a month, but we are unable to tell the relative magnitude of effect these attitudes had on care-seeking behavior. Secondly, our measure of MHC is subject to respondent recall and relies on individual interpretations of what constitutes MHC. Because we are interested in perceived need for care, however, this definition of MHC is sufficient; if an individual does not recall visiting a provider or did not consider a visit as including MHC, a reported perceived need for care suggests that any care received did not adequately address the individual's needs. Furthermore, because these data are cross-sectional, the directions of the relationships among attitudes toward care, perceived need and utilization are unknown. Another drawback of the sample is the size; although we started with a large sample size, the number of older adults who met diagnostic criteria for depression or anxiety or who reported a perceived need for MHC was relatively small. We did not have enough observations to explore utilization among those who did not perceive a need for care in multivariate models. The CPES, however, is one of the largest mental health surveys to include an older population, and it provides more details on attitudes and perceptions than other surveys. Also, our measure of MHC does not reflect quantity or quality of care; the MHC received by older adults might not necessarily mitigate their mental health needs.
In conclusion, understanding the perceptions and attitudes that underlie older adults' health care-seeking behavior is an important step toward reducing underutilization of care for depression and anxiety. Communication between providers and older adults about mental health issues may increase or improve if clinicians have a better general understanding of older adults' attitudes and perceptions about MHC. Concordance between provider and patient understanding of health conditions or treatment regimens has been associated with improved adherence to geriatric care recommendations in general.39 Future studies should examine the extent to which this applies to older adults and receipt of effective mental health care.

Let's say you had the opportunity to say something, right here and now, to Disneyland Resort President Matt Ouimet. What would you say?
Dear Cast Member Matt,
Disneyland looks great for its 50th anniversary. The newly painted buildings make the park look spectacular again. The new additions to the older attractions are great (ie. the floating Leota in the Haunted Mansion and the piranha in the Jungle Cruise etc.). The new fireworks show is wonderful (Tinkerbell is amazing). Astro Blasters is a fun attraction and is very repeatable.
On the other hand, I would love to see Innoventions replaced with something that resembles its predecessor, America Sings. Innoventions is a large rotating commercial and quite boring. Also, the old Peoplemover attraction deserves to return to the park. There is a generation of guests who don't even know what the track is for...
Your Cast Members are hard working and help make the guest experience magical.
Thank you for your genuine interest in keeping Disneyland Park sparkling. Keep up the good work on the park, Matt.
Brad (Gemini Cricket)
Let's hear your letter to Matt Ouimet. Keep it serious, he may just read this thread.
