text: Effectiveness of Alternative Victim Assistance Service Delivery Models in the San Diego Region, 1993-1994 Rienick, Cynthia Hoctor Mulmat, Darlanne Pennell, Susan arrest records case processing coping criminal justice system crisis intervention demographic characteristics needs assessment psychological wellbeing victim services victimization victims violent crime NACJD.XIV ICPSR.XVII.E NACJD.X This study had a variety of aims: (1) to assess the needs of violent crime victims, (2) to document the services that were available to violent crime victims in the San Diego region, (3) to assess the level of service utilization by different segments of the population, (4) to determine how individuals cope with victimization and how coping ability varies as a function of victim and crime characteristics, (5) to document the set of factors related to satisfaction with the criminal justice system, (6) to recommend improvements in the delivery of services to victims, and (7) to identify issues for future research. Data were collected using five different survey instruments. The first survey was sent to over 3,000 violent crime victims over the age of 16 and to approximately 60 homicide witnesses and survivors in the San Diego region (Part 1, Initial Victims' Survey Data). Of the 718 victims who returned the initial survey, 330 victims were recontacted six months later (Part 2, Follow-Up Victims' Survey Data). Respondents in Part 1 were asked what type of violent crime occurred, whether they sustained injury, whether they received medical treatment, what the nature of their relationship to the suspect was, and if the suspect had been arrested. Respondents for both Parts 1 and 2 were asked which service providers, if any, contacted them at the time of the incident or afterwards. Respondents were also asked what type of services they needed and received at the time of the incident or afterwards. Respondents in Part 2 rated the overall service and helpfulness of the information received at the time of the incident and after, and their level of satisfaction regarding contact with the police, prosecutor, and judge handling their case. Respondents in Part 2 were also asked what sort of financial loss resulted from the incident, and whether federal, state, local, or private agencies provided financial assistance to them. Finally, respondents in Part 1 and Part 2 were asked about the physical and psychological effects of their victimization. Demographic variables for Part 1 and Part 2 include the marital status, employment status, and type of job of each violent crime victim/witness/survivor. Part 1 also includes the race, sex, and highest level of education of each respondent. Police and court case files were reviewed six months after the incident occurred for each initial sample case. Data regarding victim and incident characteristics were collected from original arrest reports, jail booking screens, and court dockets (Part 3, Tracking Data). The variables for Part 3 include the total number of victims, survivors, and witnesses of violent crimes, place of attack, evidence collected, and which service providers were at the scene of the crime. Part 3 also includes a detailed list of the services provided to the victim/witness/survivor at the scene of the crime and after. These services included counseling, explanation of medical and police procedures, self-defense and crime prevention classes, food, clothing, psychological/psychiatric services, and help with court processes. Additional Part 3 variables cover circumstances of the incident, initial custody status of suspects, involvement of victims and witnesses at hearings, and case outcome, including disposition and sentencing. The race, sex, and age of each victim/witness/survivor are also recorded in Part 3 along with the same demographics for each suspect. Data for Part 4, Intervention Programs Survey Data, were gathered using a third survey, which was distributed to members of the three following intervention programs: (1) the San Diego Crisis Intervention Team, (2) the EYE Counseling and Crisis Services, Crisis and Advocacy Team, and (3) the District Attorney's Victim-Witness Assistance Program. A modified version of the survey with a subset of the original questions was administered one year later to members of the San Diego Crisis Intervention Team (Part 5, Crisis Intervention Team Survey Data) and to the EYE Counseling and Crisis Services, Crisis and Advocacy Team (Part 6, EYE Crisis and Advocacy Team Survey Data). The survey questions for Parts 4-6 asked each respondent to provide their reasons for becoming involved with the program, the goals of the program, responsibilities of the staff or volunteers, the types of referral services their agency provided, the number of hours of training required, and the topics covered in the training. Respondents for Parts 4-6 were further asked about the specific types of services they provided to victims/witnesses/survivors. Part 4 also contains a series of variables regarding coordination efforts, problems, and resolutions encountered when dealing with other intervention agencies and law enforcement agencies. Demographic variables for Parts 4-6 include the ethnicity, age, gender, and highest level of education of each respondent, and whether the respondent was a staff member of the agency or volunteer. The fourth survey was mailed to 53 referral agencies used by police and crisis interventionists (Part 7, Service Provider Survey Data). Part 7 contains the same series of variables as Part 4 on dealing with other intervention and law enforcement agencies. Respondents in Part 7 were further asked to describe the type of victims/witnesses/survivors to whom they provided service (e.g., domestic violence victims, homicide witnesses, or suicide survivors) and to rate their level of satisfaction with referral procedures provided by law enforcement officers, hospitals, paramedics, religious groups, the San Diego Crisis Intervention Team, the EYE Crisis Team, and the District Attorney's Victim/Witness Program. Part 7 also includes the hours of operation for each service provider organization, as well as which California counties they serviced. Finally, respondents in Part 7 were given a list of services and asked if they provided any of those services to victims/witnesses/survivors. Services unique to this list included job placement assistance, public awareness campaigns, accompaniment to court, support groups, and advocacy with outside agencies (e.g., employers or creditors). Demographic variables for Part 7 include the ethnicity, age, and gender of each respondent. The last survey was distributed to over 1,000 law enforcement officers from the Escondido, San Diego, and Vista sheriff's agencies (Part 8, Law Enforcement Survey Data). Respondents in Part 8 were surveyed to determine their familiarity with intervention programs, how they learned about the program, the extent to which they used or referred others to intervention services, appropriate circumstances for calling or not calling in interventionists, their opinions regarding various intervention programs, their interactions with interventionists at crime scenes, and suggestions for improving delivery of services to victims. Demographic variables for Part 8 include the rank and agency of each law enforcement respondent. 2006-03-30 survey data, and administrative records data 2789 10.3886/ICPSR02789.v1 self-enumerated questionnaires, telephone interviews, and official records California San Diego United States 1993--1994 ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).

On August 4, the Securities and Exchange Commission instituted cease-and-desist proceedings against Houston American Energy Corp., an oil and gas exploration and production company, and John F. Terwilliger, its CEO, for making fraudulent claims about the company's oil reserves. According to the SEC, during late 2009 and early 2010, Houston American raised approximately $13 million in a public offering and saw its stock price increase from less than $5 to more than $20 per share after fraudulently claiming that a Colombian exploration concession, in which Houston American owned a fractional interest, held between one billion and four billion barrels of oil reserves that would be worth the equivalent of $100 per share to investors. The SEC alleged that those estimates lacked any reasonable basis and were falsely attributed to the concession's operator, who actually had much lower estimates. The SEC order charged Houston American and Mr. Terwilliger with violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act); Rule 10b-5, Section 20(b) of the Exchange Act; and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC seeks a civil penalty and disgorgement from Houston American, and to prohibit Mr. Terwilliger from acting as an officer and director of the company.
Matter of Houston American Energy Corp. et al, Admin. Proceeding No. 3-16000 (Aug. 4, 2014).

Maximum Strength Triple Action Pads contain menthol and detergent cleansing agents that should not be left on skin. There are better, less irritating ways to control acne and other types of breakouts related to clogged pores.
Maximum Strength Pads have the highest level of acne-fighting medicine allowed without a prescription, and are recommended for cases of moderate acne. They contain effective skin cleansers that work to remove dirt, sweat and other impurities from the surface of the skin, penetrate to unclog pores, and dissolve deep down oil. They even help prevent new pimples from forming. Alcohol Free!
Active: Salicylic Acid (2%), Other: Amino Methyl Propanol, Ammonium Xylenesulfonate, Citric Acid, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance, Menthol, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Purified Water, Simethicone, Sodium Borate, Tetrasodium EDTA
Stridex At-A-Glance
Strengths: A couple of benzoyl peroxide options that are fragrance- and irritant-free.
Weaknesses: All the pads with salicylic acid contain irritants such as menthol, alcohol, or witch hazel; poor cleansers; no oil-absorbing products; no effective AHA or BHA products.
Long a drugstore staple in the anti-acne section of skin-care products, Stridex, like so many lines aimed at blemish-prone skin, has yet to offer an effective range of products. None of the options with salicylic acid are advisable due to the presence of needless irritants, and the cleansers share the same problem. The only bright spot is that Stridex offers two benzoyl peroxide products. They both include 2.5% as an active ingredient, an amount many will find successful, and these are effective, irritant-free, and affordable. Otherwise, this line is seemingly convinced that the path to clear skin involves lots of menthol. If menthol were an anti-acne ally, this line would be a slam-dunk—but it isn't. There isn't a shred of research showing menthol has any benefit for skin, for blemishes or for any skin type. Using these products with their injurious irritants will only hinder skin's healing process and worsen the inflammation seen in most cases of acne.

The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
I bought this product awhile ago. It was working just fine in the beggining but it makes my face very dry and red now. I recently bought a new cleanser for the redness the Stridex pads caused and it worked but it wasn't working on my pimples, unfortunately.I tried using the stridex pads again and now they don't work at all.
I have tried everything I could think of and afford for over 20 years to get rid of blackheads. Im 39 and I tried facials with extractions, expensive department store creams, dermatologist office "cures", scrubs, masks, charcoal, clay, pore clearing strips, pinching and squeezing, comedone extractors, etc. Not one of them worked. I have no idea why Paula's hates these. They're ALL alcohol free. They worked on literally the very first try! For the first time ever I'm blackhead free!!
The reasons this product isn't rated well are specififed in the review: a detergent cleansing agent that shouldn't be left on the skin and menthol, a skin irritant that causes a cooling, tingling sensation (that's your skin telling you it's being irritated).

This reminds me of the way I used to coat copper clad board for PCB manufacturing with photosensitive etch resist.
We had a machine which held the piece of board vertically and lowered it into a container of solution by means of a motor and a threaded rod. Once fully submerged, the motor was reversed and the board was slowly pulled out of the solution. It probably took about three minutes for a board similar to the size of plate shown here.
The result was a very thin even coating. I think this system would also work to coat glass plates. The disadvantage is that both sides of the plate would be coated but you could either clean it off afterwards or use a peelable release film on one side and peel it off after coating.

best point and shoot camera for macro photography
Jul 1, 2011
Hi everyone,
I am planning to buy a new point and shoot camera for macro photography. I have a coolpix s52 and I do a lot of flower photography with that. I am quite happy but would like to improve upon that. I am wondering which one would be better within USD300 range. I was considering nikon p300 for its compactness and capability as well as price. But not sure now. Is there any other recommendations? I really appreciate it. Lost in the choice of cameras:)

Warband Enhanced - v0.6 Released3 years ago News 6 comments Report
The latest version for Warband Enhanced brings a few new features and of course tweaks and bug fixes. New features as Wife Companion, Sort Defenders...
Warband Enhanced is my first attempt to improve the gameplay in Warband Native with the help of the best mods made by this community and also with the implementation of new features and gameplay tweaks made by me. At first, i started to make the mod for my own personal use and then i delved into module files and started to play around and thinking of making a public release.
Main Features:
For a full overview of all the features, visit the features on this site.
For a list of credits visit this features on this site.
How to install:
Requires Official Warband Client 1.143: Download.taleworlds.com
Since many of you seem to have problems on how to install this mod to work properly, i figured out i should make a news item to talk about.
1) This mod is for Warband 1.143. You need to download the official client here, and install it. If you have another version of the game, please download this version and install it in another folder. This is because it will fix the registry and it will make WSE Loader work.
2) For those that bought the game from other place than the official site, you should be able to play this mod with the client downloaded and installed from here (same link as above), and use your cd key.
3) After you reinstalled 1.143 to another folder use this installation folder for this mod.
Why should you should reinstall this if you have another version of warband? Because wse-loader looks for the current registry record and it wont detect 1.143 warband and the game wont work properly.
ALWAYS RUN the game from WSE_Loader.EXE in the Modules/Warband Enhanced/WSE directory
90% of the bugs and problems reported here are because:
1) You didnt used 1.143 client, or u have 1.143 client, but you also have another version installed, and WSE Loader cant see 1.143
2) You didnt ran the game with WSE_Loader.EXE
Hope it helps!
Have fun!

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to let you know that my latest game Centauri Sector is closing to Alpha 1 dev status. You can find out more a indiedb here: Indiedb.com
As for this mod, like i told you in the past it toke me a great amount of time to make it, and to update it to 1.160 its pretty much impossible at the moment, since some of the mods it uses havens been updated by their own modders, so i would have to do it my own...
If you can make it work with 1.143, you can have some good times, otherwise just try another mod.
I'm pretty sure now that this mod is quite dead. Warband is now on version 1.160 and this mod still requires version 1.142. And even then, there are still a lot of problems with it, like the over-reported missing text-log and random crashes.
This seems like a really nice mod except for one feature; the new "improved" recruitment system. It completely discouraged me from playing with it. Having your army to be merc only or faction exclusive pretty much kills even more the balance of this game and your hope of creating an empire-style army, with all cultures combined into one super engine of war, designed to be as flexible and deadly as possible and to ultimately bring the message that the unification of the land is possible. That's what any smart general -- in this case Lord or Lady -- trying to unify this land on ever-lasting wars would do.
As the version of 1.158 is the current official release, it would be great if you could update the mod to work with it.
(It would save everyone a lot of hassle, and net you a ton of good karma within the community...)
If you could make this work with the latest version, then it would easily be the module that I play the most. So, please fix! ^_^
Don't know why everyone is still telling him to update it. It seems he just doesn't have the time/want to update his mod. The fact that he put in the game for download was pretty nice. It's not a huge download, and it's not like anyone is forcing you to play it. I don't know anything about coding so it might be really easy to fix it for the latest patch, but still, saying it's a scumbag thing for him not to update a mod that he clearly has no interest or ability to work on is the real "scumbag move."
Alright, I'll go out here and sound like an idiot.
So, I've downloaded the mod and followed all of the instructions until I learnt that I cannot find the "wse_loader.exe" file anywhere. I've extracted the 1.143 client into another folder and everything but no luck. Help?
i got the same problem. my suggestion is that the creator takes the time to update, the alternative isn't good at all
is this mod dead also my game log doesn't work?
Hi, i have been playing your mod for a while now, and i can tell is the best "vanilla improve" i have played. Only two suggestions: Made a interface to deactivate the New recruiting system, its a good feature but sometimes you want the old recruiting style; and the vanilla mercenaries are too swadian, with the new recruiting system having a little variety in what kind of mercenaries choose could be a great feature (For example, let the player hire bandits on the villages instead of farmers, or kind of)
Thanks for the mod and sorry about my orrible english :)
Highest Rated (5 agree) 10/10
Another native expansion mod, seems really cool, been wondering whether or not i should play native again xD
Aug 31 2012 by FI2_Dev_Tak
Lowest Rated (10 agree) 5/10
Problem with mod right out of the gate. During a battle, the show damage and troop death/unconciousness option doesn't work. I really like that feature that native and other mods retain. However, the textures are great and the way the other features are tied together, if they work,would really make this a Mount & Blade 2 for me. Fix that problem and I'll play this mod until M&B 2 comes out. By the way, if there is a way to fix the problem I would really appreciate some feedback. PM me if…

Box jellyfish may seem like rather simple creatures, but in fact their visual system is anything but. They've got no fewer than 24 eyes of four different kinds. Now, researchers reporting online on April 28 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, have evidence revealing that four of those eyes always peer up out of the water, regardless of the way the rest of the animal is oriented. What's more, it appears that those eyes allow the jellies to navigate their way around the mangrove swamps in which they live.
"It is a surprise that a jellyfishan animal normally considered to be lacking both brain and advanced behavioris able to perform visually guided navigation, which is not a trivial behavioral task," said Anders Garm of the University of Copenhagen. "This shows that the behavioral abilities of simple animals, like jellyfish, may be underestimated."
In fact, scientists have known for more than a century that box jellyfish had a unique array of eyes. It was known that they could rely on vision to respond to light, avoid obstacles, and control their rate of swimming. But box jellyfish generally live in shallow waters with plenty of obstacles. The species Garm's team studied, Tripedalia cystophora, lives between the prop roots in Caribbean mangrove swamps, where they stay close to the surface to catch and eat copepods that gather in high densities in light shafts formed by openings in the mangrove canopy. They are never found out in the open, where they might risk starvation. That means they must stay within a rather restricted area, less than two meters wide. And it now appears that they have eyes that help them do this.
The researchers examined the function of one of two types of "upper lens eyes," already known to form images, to work out just what those eyes can see and how well. It turns out that those four eyes cover precisely the visual field needed to see through the water's surface up into the world above. The resea

Revised Homework Policy
ds age 7 allergies to peanuts, eggs,
dd age 14, dd 19
I think it's a good thing. Studies have shown that in younger grades homework is basically useless. I think it should be given started in 7th grade but I know that'll never happen in our school system.
My DS is in middle school and their policy is no "homework" but the students are given assignments. The assignments are due 2-3 class periods later, depending on the assignment.
They all have a study hall period so most of it gets done then or when the teacher gives them time in class to work on it. The only time he bring home "homework" is when he was not using his time wisely or he was involved in an activity that took him out of the class room.
They do have to study for tests and do projects but that is it and only 1 project a quarter per class, again with time in class to work on it.
He has about 3 hours of homework every night. Which is about 1 hr for each class. They have alternated schecules, half their classes on Monday and the other half on Tuesday, and so forth.
I'm not sure I'd be excited about a "no homework" policy.
Kisstee + Mr. Wonderful = Happily Ever After
Our elementary, middle, and high school work together to get the kids ramped up for what to expect in the upcoming grades.
I was completely unprepared for the amount of homework/class prep that came in college because we did not have regular homework in my middle/high school.
I'm not a big fan of HW in lower grades. If 6th grade is elementary school for you and they aren't considered middle schoolers than it's not a big deal if there's no HW. They can then ramp up in 7th/8th.
6th grade is middle school for us and the first time the kids are changing classrooms with different teachers. There is light homework, but nothing major. It's a nice transition and I'm sure there'll be more coming with 7th and 8th to get ready for high school. But if they wanted to start HW 7th for us it would be fine I think as 2 years before HS is plenty of time to get accustomed to the work load.
Kids, Costumes, and PTSO, it's what I do.
Well, my experience is that elementary school homework aka busy work did NOT help prepare MY son for the demands of Middle School homework.
In 5th grade, DS's homework was very simple and busy work for most kids (Okay, he was suppose to learn his spelling words, but with his Spelling LD, it never happened. We reviewed the math with him a bit. He had 3 projects - one per trimester and that was the only "work.") He had to write a biography, a civil war report, and book presentation.
Now DS is in 6th and the homework load is MISERABLE. DS spends 1-2 hours a night on homework (well, the first hour is at after school and I'm not sure how much time is spent on homework). Then we spend 3-5 hours each weekend on homework, doing the big stuff like science reports, writing essays, and since he's struggling in math, we have to review that as well.
It's been a rough adjustment for us all.
Married Mom to 2 big kids, a December 2013 princess and our little furBuddy, teacher to many more
I'm torn on the subject. It depends on how it's being done.
Homework as busy work is ludicrous and helps to turns kids off from school as well as gives them a false sense of what's ahead.
In my school system, the amount varies by teacher, but every single one of them GRADES the homework. I don't mean wheher or not they did it, I mean they get graded on whether or not their answers were correct. If the teacher didn't explain things well enough, it means my kids' dad and I explaining it to them. And I'm talking AP chem and Physics
I can't imagine how kids without engineers or biomed researchers for parents get through things like upper level math classes if the teacher has failed to do their job and the kids go home and discover they didn't quite understand properly and now they're going to work lord knows how long on the HW and wind up with a bad grade despite putting in the time and effort.
There's a sensible place in the middle that keeps getting bypassed.

Maryland attributes the insurance commissioner's aggressive negotiation of rates as reason for their relatively low costs. According to their report, the insurance commissioner was able to reduce most premium rates by more than 50%.
They also attribute the way in which Maryland is planning to handle risky consumers next year. The state is keeping their high-risk pool open for people with pre-existing conditions who don't want to change coverage. This way the sick population will stay out of the health insurance marketplace, and insurers take this into account when proposing their premium rates.
Along with lower premiums Maryland provides the following key features of their plans:
Comprehensive care, including coverage of essential health benefits;
Recommended preventive services, available free of charge;
A cap on out-of-pocket expenses;
No lifetime or yearly dollar limits on coverage;
For the first time in the individual market, no Marylander can be rejected for coverage on the basis of his or her health status.

Combat Paper NJ
"We were very lucky to have State of the Arts follow us around for one year, filming and interviewing along the way. They started with us at The Richard Stockton College in November of 2013 and ended this Fall of 2014 around our Morristown HUB focus and Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival collaboration. We are very proud of this piece and hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do. Thank you Susan and Joe.
"Let's provide an opportunity for the veteran to transform into a storyteller. Let the process of art making give them a voice, amplify that voice, and change our culture of the 'silent veteran'… the 'non-storyteller.' Let's strengthen our community around this practice, become witnesses to our own past, make witnesses of the non-veteran, share the burden of the complex veteran experience, and change society for the better." -David Keefe

All veterans have a story to tell. Combat Paper NJ (CPNJ), a program of the Printmaking Center of New Jersey, offers artistic tools and professional instruction to veterans, providing a space to use art and writing to explore their physical, psychological, and emotional experiences. Our specialty is making handmade paper from military uniforms—Combat Paper. This paper creates a platform for veterans to share their stories, providing a new language for self-expression.
Are you a veteran or active duty service member? Maybe you'd like to make a book out of a uniform you have stored in a duffel bag; maybe you'd like to silkscreen an image from your overseas service onto Combat Paper. CPNJ can help you tell your story creatively.
In casual drop-in sessions, on college campuses, in community centers, and at VA and military hospitals, CPNJ brings printmaking and the art of handmade papermaking to all veterans.
Since its inception in 2011, CPNJ has conducted over 120 workshops, presentations, and exhibitions. The program is run by veterans, for veterans.
Even if you're not a veteran, there are still ways you can get involved. See www.printnj.org/combat-paper for more details.
Uniforms hold the dirt, blood, sweat, tears, and memories of combat that veterans experience. Each Combat Paper NJ session begins with the assembled veterans sharing their stories while deconstructing their uniforms. The process is cathartic and transformative.
The deconstructed fibers of the uniform are beaten into pulp using specially-designed papermaking equipment, creating a slurry of uniform fibers and water. Sheets of paper are pulled from the pulp and dried to create handmade Combat Paper.
Sheets of Combat Paper become the platform for veterans to communicate their stories through art. Veterans integrate drawings, photographs, iconic images, and words into their Combat Paper using silkscreen and other printmaking techniques they are taught. Each finished work of Combat Paper art tells a profoundly personal story.
Public forums and exhibitions of Combat Paper are important opportunities for veterans to talk about their military service. These forums also help the public better understand what combat vets have endured. These interactions begin to bridge the gap that causes isolation and despair, helping veterans recover and move ahead with their lives.
David Keefe's Combat Paper Class at Montclair State University was written up in the MSU alumni Magazine.

You'll be relieved to know that the solution to your rising medical care costs resides in your barn (if you have one).
During a recent candidate forum, Republican Sue Lowden, who is running to challenge Harry Reid in November, suggested bartering with doctors http://www.care2.com/causes/admin/submit/as a possible solution to rising health care costs. Her comments are now being referred in political circles as Chickens for Checkups.
It's hard to imagine that Sue Lowden is out polling Harry Reid.
And in a follow-up interview with local political analyst Marlene Lockhard, Lowden refused to back down from her suggestion that bartering with doctors for health care could be part of a long term solution to the American health care crisis, saying:
"Let's change the system and talk about what the possibilities are. I'm telling you that this works. You know, before we all started having health care in the old days, our grandparents. They would bring a chicken to the doctor. They would say I'll paint your house. And that's the old days of what people would do to get health care with their doctors."
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is having a lot of fun with Lowden's tone deaf comments. You can send Sue Lowden an email that let's you specify an "old time" medical condition and several things you can barter to get medical care–including chickens.
The Nevada State Democrats had some fun with this too. Communications Director Phoebe Sweet showed up at Lowden's office with a goat, saying she unsuccessfully tried to trade it for medical care but her doctor "looked at her like I was crazy."
And ProgressNow Nevada just put out a techno version of Sue Lowden's "Bring A Chicken to The Doctor"

About forty years ago, we traded repair of the dentist's boat for a tooth extraction/bridge. We live in a fairly rural part of Maine, so this actually worked well for all concerned. But in this day and age, with the costs of running an office, there is no way it would work now, and it certainly wouldn't work for large numbers of people.
Our "healthcare system" is so out of whack...
Aside from all other issues, the average poor American doesn't have any possessions or skills that a typically rich doctor would want enough to barter for....
This just shows how out of touch this woman is! She is rich with great health care insurance, well why doesn't she trade what she has for what the rest of have us have and she can barter away. I'm afraid there is no bartering in the city. I know my doctors wouldn't. She is so out of touch with reality but then most rich people are.
I worked for a family physician about 30 years ago. He didn't take chickens but when a patient indicated no insurance and money was tight he would discount the visit and try to give them free samples. Also, he would try to get the free clinic which was open from 4-8 m-f to request the blood work. Unfortunately the clinic was always over crowded. I will never forgot the child who broke her arms and we had to beg the Ortho Clinic at the University to see her. It took over 4 hours to get them to agree. The sad thing was the family never showed up and the girl had to wear hard plastic cast for over a year and her arms were never the same. This is what we heard through the grapevine. People shouldn't be made to feel like a number and when your really sick you don't need to feel like you have to be Donald Trump so you can negotiate and price. That's just evil and insane
This is stupid no doctor is going to trade services. She has great health care at our expense lets see if she is willing to give up her free, top-rate medical care and start bartering her own chickens for her family's health care.
She needs to give up her free, top-rate medical care and be the first one to barter her own chickens for her family's health care.
Why are the Republicans so against health care? The old system didn't work and they had control of the house and senate and did nothing about it then. All they did while in the White House was to fight with each other. What makes them think they have a better idea?
I think this was ment as a joke just to see how many liberals would jump on it all outraged. Works pretty good, especially if you get a bunch of neo-cons pretending to be liberals. Just 4th grade humor. Lighten up.
Shannon, I am sorry if it appeared that I was picking on you. I did not intend to offend you, and I am sorry if it sounded that way. I simply wondered if you lived in a rural community, where small exchanges might work. When I saw that you do not, I could not understand your position. Your town's businesses are not the only ones I called about this. If you recall, I phoned doctor's offices in my own county, to see if they would be willing to accept such exchanges.
I always try not to make an issue personal. I'm afraid that I have violated my own principle in this instance. I hope you will accept my apology.

AT&T Inc. is doubling the number of businesses that may participate in its Enhanced Push to Talk (PTT) solution after receiving favorable customer feedback from a trial program for the technology.
In addition, AT&T expects to offer a choice of up to five compatible smartphones, including multiple devices from Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile), when Enhanced PTT is anticipated to be commercially available later this year.
"A feature-rich PTT solution plus an exciting lineup of SAFE(TM) mobile devices - it's an ideal combination," said Tim Wagner, vice president and general manager of enterprise sales at Samsung Mobile. "Samsung has a long history of working with AT&T, and we're collaborating again on the launch of AT&T Enhanced PTT. Between AT&T's service and our PTT phones, which today support the 810F Mil-STD for ruggedness, we're helping make business communications better and faster for our customers."
At a time when other carriers are phasing out PTT networks, AT&T's goal is to provide customers with the type of communication service they need for instant group communications, backed by 4G technology and a broad portfolio of devices and business applications.
AT&T offers a basic PTT service today, but expects to launch its Enhanced PTT solution - with dramatically improved performance, features and device choices - in late 2012.
"We've heard what our customers are asking for - an enhanced PTT solution that offers great performance, advanced features, integration with mobile apps and interoperability with radio systems - all running on the nation's largest 4G network," said Chris Hill, vice president, advanced mobility solutions at AT&T Business and Home Solutions.
Over the next several months, AT&T will bring its first-ever Field Force Automation Advanced Technology Forum road show series to 27 cities in the U.S. Planned venues including Milwaukee on Oct. 27.

"The AQC gives physicians the flexibility to change how they manage patient care - dedicating time, resources, and administration to focus on the quality of care provided rather than only the quantity of care," said Cleve Killingsworth, BCBSMA's chairman and chief executive officer. "By signing the AQC, these physicians have demonstrated their commitment to improving the quality, safety, and affordability of the health care services they provide."
"The medical groups in Atrius Health have years of experience with outstanding quality and global payments. We appreciate the vision of BCBSMA to transform Massachusetts healthcare with a comprehensive payment structure that allows our physicians and other medical professional to focus on providing the best care for our patients," said Gene Lindsey, MD, President & CEO of Atrius Health.
The AQC is designed to improve the quality of care BCBSMA's members receive and cut current annual medical cost trends in half. It moderates cost increases through the delivery of better care, resulting in more predictable and affordable premium increases. Opportunities to achieve savings under the AQC include reduction in duplicative services, use of more cost-effective services and providers, and the elimination of potentially preventable costly services, such as certain hospital complications and readmissions.
As of January 2009, the following hospitals and provider groups have agreed to Alternative Quality Contracts: Mount Auburn Hospital and the affiliated Mount Auburn Cambridge Independent Practice Association (MACIPA), Hampden County Physician Associates, LLC (HCPA), Tufts Medical Center and the affiliated New England Quality Care Alliance (NEQCA), Signature Healthcare Corporation including Brockton Hospital, and Lowell General Hospital.

The odd thing about money is that when you don't have any, you're much more willing to talk about it.
"Geez, I'm broke."
"Tapped out."
"I could sure use a few bucks."
When the Twins were "poor," they weren't shy about saying so. Signing big-time free agents? Don't have the resources. Long-term contracts? Doesn't make sense for us. And then there were the annual loss figures that somehow found their way into print: $5 million, $10 million ...
Now that the Twins have money, we really don't know where they stand financially. How much dough is rolling in as a result of the new ballpark? Hey, suddenly talking about money is tacky. It's no one's business. Suffice it to say, they are doing well enough to boost their payroll significantly over last season.
The reason I bring this up is because we don't know how much cash is left in the budget for trade deadline wheeling and dealing. I'm pretty sure the organization isn't about to put itself in a position to lose money in its first year at Target Field. That would be a lousy precedent. And they already are spending like an upper-half mid-market team, which they are.
So as the Twins' need for starting pitching becomes more and more apparent, and names such as Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt get tossed around, I'm skeptical. Those are expensive rental arms. Lee is a free agent after this season, and Oswalt is set to earn $16 million in 2011. Yikes!
If the organization has that kind of dough lying around, it ought to approach Carl Pavano about a contract extension.
As for this season, if the Twins really are committed to making a run at a title in their first year at Target Field, they do need to bolster the rotation. Kevin Slowey and Nick Blackburn are a mess. Scott Baker is the best three-inning starting pitcher in baseball. Other than Pavano and Francisco Liriano, I'd be uncomfortable with any other pitcher starting a playoff game, should the Twins get that far.
As July approaches, trade chatter will increase dramatically. No question other teams will be after the Twins' top prospects in return for a pitcher. Fine, but if the Twins are going to part with a Wilson Ramos, they need to get more than a rented arm in return. Here are the pitchers I'd go after:
None of these fellows will come cheaply. So if they are on Bill Smith's radar, Twins fans should come to grips with losing some highly touted prospects. Of course, the Twins over-value their prospects anyway. At least each of the above would represent more than just a short-term fix.
If Smith has money available - and again we don't really know - he should be looking for a longer-term addition to the rotation than a Cliff Lee or a Roy Oswalt.
A prospect represents potential. That's never as good as proven performance.

While thinking about games that I wanted to see sequels for in 2012 I noticed something interesting. Most of them had females for main characters. So instead of coming up with a convoluted conspiracy theory that no one would understand (myself included) about why female protagonists aren't getting the sequels they deserve–I came up with this list.
Bayonetta was one of the best games of 2010. The story transcended terrible, it was so bad that it was actually brilliant. Seriously though, to everyone that says the story sucks you went into the game with the wrong mindset–it's intentionally cheesy. The gameplay was over the top and deeply satisfying, and that's why it has a 90/100 on Metacritic. Its sequel would be one of the best/worst games of 2012.
Mirrors Edge was a good game, but it had some issues. Still you have to respect DICE for attempting to do something different. A sequel could fix the original's problems, but EA is probably trying to figure out a way to give Faith some guns and turn her into a soldier. Dear EA, every game won't be able to do Battlefield numbers–it's time to accept that some will only sell 1-2 million copies. That reminds me, the gaming industry is the only industry I can think of where 1-2 million copies sold isn't good enough.
Heavenly Sword wasn't groundbreaking–but it was a solid hack and slash game. Hopefully Ninja Theory is working on Heavenly Sword 2, I know they're busy turning Dante into a generic angst ridden punk, but they should be able to work on two games at once. Also they're going to need something to fall back on if DmC flops, Capcom is already doing damage control. For Capcom parallel universe means… if sales tank we can go back to the old Dante and pretend that Ninja Theory's version never existed.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 has already been announced, but it's starting to look like we have another Duke Nukem Forever on our hands. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but you get the point. The game is flirting with next generation consoles, and you're probably thinking that means it can't come out in 2012. Well, there's a little thing called the Wii U, sure it isn't going to be as powerful as Sony & Microsoft's machines–but it is technically a next generation console. Can you say Wii U launch title?
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is one of the most criminally underrated games ever. Silicon Knights needs something to save their studio from obscurity, Eternal Darkness 2 launching on the Wii U could be enough to save them from laying more people off or shutting down entirely. Here's a quote from a spokesperson about the studio's next project:
"The company is currently refocusing and returning to its roots, working on one of its most requested titles for the next generation".
I don't know about you, but Eternal Darkness 2 is my most requested game from Silicon Knights. Sure the kids that just started gaming this generation will probably ignore it, but I'm sure it'll actually convince some people to go out and buy a Wii U.
Hopefully we see at least a couple of these games this year, if not we still have Tomb Raider and Mass Effect 3 to look forward to. I know, Mass Effect 3 doesn't really count since male Shepard appears to be canon–but I like to think everyone uses Femshep since her male counterpart has the personality of a dead leaf.

Toronto summer 2014 forecast: Cooler but pleasant temperatures
Torontonians can expect a slightly cooler than normal summer, but the Weather Network says summer is by no means cancelled.

After waking up to heavy fog Tuesday morning, many Torontonians are asking a critical question: what type of weather is expected this summer?
Don't dump the sunscreen just yet.
Summer is coming, says Dayna Vettese, a meteorologist with the Weather Network.
"Summer is not cancelled," she told the Toronto Star. "Don't be discouraged, we will have our warm days. We're just not expecting the oppressive humidity and heat we sometimes get."
The Weather Network is forecasting temperatures in Toronto and the GTA will be a tad cooler than normal this summer, says Vettese.
The mercury typically rises to around 25C or 26C. Torontonians can anticipate an average of 24C or 25C this year.
"That's still a pleasant summer," said Vettese.
The same cool air that contributed to a harsh winter and chilly spring will occasionally sneak its way into southern Ontario over the next few months, accounting for the cooler temperatures.
The long winter also resulted in a slower start to the summer, adds Vettese, and everything is a bit delayed. Lake temperatures in particular will feel cooler than normal.
"You may want to wait until August before jumping into the water," said Vettese.
El Niño is developing in the Pacific, creating a large ridge of high pressure in western Canada. This will bring all of the warmth to British Columbia and the Yukon towards the end of the summer and into the fall.
A trough of low pressure will contribute to cooler temperatures in central Canada.
"We will be on the cooler side of normal, and [the West Coast] will be on the warmer side," said Vettese.
But just how accurately can meteorologists predict summer weather?
"Our ability to forecast has increased so much," said Vettese. "There are of course small-scale weather phenomena that are more difficult to forecast, like the exact location of thunderstorms. It's much easier to give temperature trends in the summer."
Vettese compares pinpointing the exact location of thunderstorms to knowing where the first bubble will appear in a boiling pot of water.
"We know when the environment is right for thunderstorms, but it's much harder to know where the storm will occur," she said, adding Torontonians should keep an eye on the forecast before planning outdoor events.
Above all, Vettese says people need to be fairer towards summer. Much of the way summer is perceived is based on the timing of both good and bad weather.
"If all the nice weather comes during the work week and the weekends aren't that nice, our perception of the summer will be skewed," Vettese said. "That feels a bit unfair to summer."

Exercise and Bad Diet
What say you? Can you exercise away a bad diet? Is it self defeating to exercise faithfully and still consume a bad diet?
Quoting e-doolittle:
I think diet is actually more important than exercise, although they go hand in hand.
Quoting KaylasMama11:
to loose weight after the baby I ate anything I want but ran an hr a day and lost 40 pounds in 3 months
You most definitely can not out exercise a bad diet.
I am living that right now :-(
Oh no, I was doing great though. I was just a little over 1lb from my ultimate goal weight. Then my birthday happened and I just haven't gotten back to it. I've gained almost 7lbs since October :-(

one of the best anywhere
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Ackerman and staff; STELLAR medical care and skills would not see any one else for surgeries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband has had both knees replaced and I'm going for my first soon. Will only use Dr.Ackerman
Thank you Dr Ackerman!!! I was in pain 24/7 so long and now I am pain free and my shoulder is close to 100%. I am back on the tennis courts!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you
Dr. Ackerman performed my hip surgery . He is a dedicated, caring doctor taking the time to explain things and listen to his patient's concerns. It is evident that he cares for his patients and their recovery by the amount of time he spends for follow up visits. I would highly recommend him to my friends .
Worth the wait. Tough case with excellent results. He is realistic and forthright. Would trust him with any knee problems. Thanks to him my life has returned to normal.
Dr. Ackerman performed arthroscopic surgery on my torn rotator cuff. He reassured me prior to surgery that the surgery would go well. With surgery and physical therapy I would be able to return to playing softball. I especiallyl liked his professionalism and he explained everything in a way that I was totally able to comprehend. I would highy recommend Dr. Ackerman to anyone needing surgery. Once again I was extremely satisfied with the results of the surgery and I am on my way to a full recovery and use of my shoulder. Thank you, Dr. Ackerman.
a very caring doctor who takes his time and makes sure it is right. He is the best.
Dr Ackerman and his staff exceeded all my expectations. Nice job, I would recommend them to everybody. Very professional, and treats his patients like family.
I asked if I could get both of my knees done at the same time and dr Ackerman said sure as long as I qualified. We did the tests and I qualified so the operation was set up and completed. I am very pleased with the end results. If I had it to do over again I would.
I've used Dr. Ackerman for 4 surgeries and he is wonderful. His bedside manner is exceptional and his follow up visits are complete. He's always been there for me whenever I've needed him. I highly recommend him and will use him again myself.
Dr. Ackerman recently operated on my husband (total knee replacement).. I was amazed by his attention to detail and willingness to spend time with both of us to assure all went well before, during and after surgery.
Dr. Ackerman did an excellent work in my total knee replacement. You can really tell he cares about his patients. Its not just a job to him. I have rheumatoid arthritis and lose the ability to walk without pain. After surgery and physical therapy, I am walking without the pain and feel like I have my life back. I cant thank Dr. ACKERMAN enough for my new knee.
When I awoke from the surgery, I could see that the knees were bandaged yet I had no pain! The nurses helped me up and asked my pain level...I said none. I proceeded to walk ...again no pain! The knees felt normal. I utilized the exercise and ice machines as much as possible in both the Jupiter Hospital and Gardens Court. I went to physical therapy twice daily and within a week I could climb stairs. Dr. Ackerman came to the hospital and rehab center to check up on me throughout the first two weeks. After just ten weeks my knees feel normal.
Dr. Ackerman was highly recommended. We liked him. He guided me through the first knee replacement, which went very well. His connection with the in-patient rehab facility were helpful (he even visited me there). His recommendation for out-patient rehab helped complete the first knee replacement successfully. When it was time for the second replacement, we chose Dr. Ackerman again. It also went very well (he visited the out-patient rehab again). Now I have knee replacements that work very well with excellent range of motion.
I procrastinated for 3 years about the damage to my knee, I had outpatient procedures, injections, the whole none yards. Dr. Ackerman told me that I was too young to be going through all of this and that the only way to get my life back was to bite the bullet and get total knee replacement. So, I did! I am 7 weeks post op and am living my life just as I did 15 years ago. I am walking without aides, riding my bike and doing all of this painlessly. After 2 weeks my physical therapist said that I was surpassing the schedule and healing very well. At 3 weeks I was a rock star! The staples came out and at week 4 I was swimming again! I can say this...I should have done this years ago and I would recommend to anyone Dr. Ackerman's expertise, bed side manner and professional handling of any medical need.
I was recommended to Dr. Ackerman by my sister, Patti-Ann Handelson and also two other of his patients. He is a doctor with a great education; but, that doesn't always make the best doctor. With Dr. Ackerman, I felt at ease and confident that I would get the best care possible for my knee. His staff is friendly and competent. His nurse, Geneva, always has a smile on her face and makes me feel at ease....especially, when I am getting a shot! I would recommend Dr. Ackerman to friends and family.
The staff was courteous and very helpful. I loved the girls in the X-Ray department and Dr. Ackermans nurse is the best. Dr. Ackerman is very hands on and genuinely seems to care about the quality of care he provides to his patients. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs an Orthopaedic doctor.
After initial evaluation, it was suggested that I have arthroscopic knee surgery...90% chance of success...surgery did not help. Next step was 5 injections of supartz...40% chance of success...did not help. I'm not suggesting that the lack of success was due to Dr. Ackerman. I really don't know if another doctor would have had different results, but if knee replacement is the next step, I'm choosing another doctor. That's primarily due to the lack of respect for my time. On at least 3 occasions, I waited over an hour for my appointment. One of those was 1 1/2 hours for a 5 minute injection. Totally unacceptable. Unfortunate, because I think he may be a very good doctor.
I just saw Dr. Ackerman as a new patient for my painful knees (both, yikes!) I was reluctant to schedule an appt. with an orthopaedic surgeon because i am young and active and fear the thought of surgery. Dr. Ackerman, very well dressed and down to earth, went over all of my options with me. Unfortunately, i am scheduled to have bilateral knee scopes in October. Fortunately, i am very confidant that i chose a great doctor. His nurse, Jeneva, was very nice and warm also. Overall- i was impressed with Palm Beach Sprotsmedicine.
After 35 years of abuse to my left knee, it was time for a full knee replacement. I knew it would be a challenge because when I had it scoped in 1998 the OR/Doctor voted me the worst knee they had ever seen prior to a knee replacement. Again, I was voted the worst knee they had ever seen when I had it replaced Feb 1st of this year. I am happy to say that the surgery went extremely well and that Dr. Ackerman rose to the challenge and did a fantastic job! If there were ten stars in this survey, I would have given them to Dr. Ackerman.
If any of my friends or family ever needed an orthopaedic surgeon there would be only one I would recommend and that would be Dr. Gary Ackerman.Not to take anything away from other doctors but I would find it very difficult to believe that there is another one any better.
Dr. Ackerman is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever had. I have many bone problems and he always has time and always helps me when I need it.
