The signs started in December
When she started waking up in tears each night
She was a normal girl with dark brown hair and darker brown eyes
She had plenty of friends and a loving family with just one thing missing
Her father.
Days passed by and turned into weeks but only felt like a few seconds
Her life just whizzed by faster and faster until it was just a whirr in front of her eyes
Darkness filtered into her heart and mind until she didn't know if she could go on
But she had to. She couldn't let her mother and her sister drown in this same pain
She wouldn't let them.
She pushed all the darkness into the depths of her own heart
In hopes to save the hearts of the two people she had left
Because what else was there to live for now?
The rest of her world had crashed and her mother and sister was all that was left
She wouldn't let them drown in pain too.
She watched as they started to heal in her loving arms
Their hearts started to lighten up once more
But hers was just as dark as it was before
And growing darker day by day
But she wouldn't let that stop her.
Suddenly a year had passed... and then two
It only seemed like seconds to her but everyone else started moving on
Her mother and sister no longer needed her nurturing care
But she needed someone to hold on to
With nothing left for her to take control of, the dark pushed past her boundries
It found a way into her soul
Until all she could see was dark and no light
But her mother and sister were healed now
They didn't understand
The tears came back and engulfed her soul
Bit by bit until she wasn't sure why she was still alive
The grief took over like knives
Piercing her skin over and over and over
It hurt so much.
She started to wonder what it'd look like to be dead
She could see him again if she was
Wouldn't it be so much easier than having to endure this pain?
Wouldn't it be so much easier than having to live knowing she'd never see him again?
It would.
So she started to hate herself
All that negative energy was starting to take toll
Everyone around her was breathing while she suffocated more and more by the second
She wished she'd just choke already instead of living in constant pain
If no one would put her out of her misery, she'd have to do it herself
She couldn't see any light anymore
So she grabbed the pill bottle off the shelf and just hoped it wouldn't take long to die
Deep down she still had a spark of light, but she just couldn't find it
And now it was too late in her mind to change, to turn back and try to look deeper
She was done living.
That's when people started to notice that everything wasn't as peaceful as it seemed
They started to see how deeply depressed she had become
They wanted to help her see the light again before it was too late
So they sent her away to see doctors and to take pills to make everything better
It was a start.
She didn't see a change at first but suddenly she could think clearly
Maybe what they were doing was actually going to help her see the light again
Yes, she still wanted to die, but maybe that wasn't the only option anymore
They cared, and behind all their own problems they were trying to understand
They really were trying
Six months longer she would be treated and cared for
Until suddenly she was sent home from her treatment and care with a smile on her face
She had a new perspective
Someone had helped her ignite that spark in her heart until it was a glowing ember
She had been reborn
Sometimes you have to be able to experience the worst of it
To come back shining brighter than before
And if she had died that cold day in October, she wouldn't of ever seen the best of it
Or known that it would get better
and it did!
And she now sits at her laptop, with a smile on her face and warmth in her heart
It's never been an easy road and it won't ever be
But at least she knows she's lived through the worst
And it can only get better from here
So whenever she feels lonely or gets back into that dark spot again
She can look back on what she's learned and can read this poem
And remember that she survived the darkest depths of depression
And she will continue to survive it as long as she lives
Because she is stronger now than she ever was before ?

She stares at the paper not a word comes to write
Surrounded by peace on a dark rainy night.
Like the page in her notebook her mind remains clear.
Not a word to be written, her pen she cant steer.
No thought comes to mind as she drives memory road
Not a vision, no flashback nothing waits to be told.
She thumbs through the pages of an old book of art...
Searching for something that touches her heart.
The years took a toll on this book left untouched
Musty and frayed, the paper crinkled and rough.
Its cover is faded its corners are bent
A pressed flower within leaves a soft subtle scent.
Page after page of landscapes and faces
Baskets of fruit and flowers in vases.
Paintings and sketches most done black and white
Ancient ships at full sail, a quaint farm house at night.
Wyeth's painting; a window, captures her eye
Takes her back to her childhood; a cabin lakeside.
At last there's a story beginning to grow
She picks up her pen and the words start to flow.
She writes of a weekend back in the fall
The cabin they stayed in among pine trees so tall.
How she looked out her window each day that she woke
Watched the sun kiss the lake as the morning fog broke.
Outside her window there on the ground.
An old gray canoe that lay upside down.
Many times she would dream of paddling out
She'd catch a big fish; she knew it, no doubt!
She went to the window one cool gloomy morn
Happy inside in where it was cozy and warm.
She leaned on the sill, hands under her chin
Wondering what she would do, where to begin.
She gazed out the window watching drops hit the lake
Millions of circle the raindrops would make.
Red orange leaves on the trees by the shore
Now shiny and limp from the rain as it pours.
Sandcastles she built by the beach yesterday
Are nothing but mud now washing away.
No life in the forest, nothing moving around
Just that old gray canoe laying there on the ground.
By noon there was sun as clouds cleared away
"May I go outside? I want to go play!"
"I have an idea" Dad called from the door
"Let's take that canoe down to the shore."
Dad had the fishing poles, tackle and bait.
"We're gonna go fishing? Yeeha, I can't wait"!
He flipped the canoe over, and loaded the gear.
The moment she wished for was finally here.
Dad pulled and she pushed that boat to the shore
She put on her life jacket Dad grabbed the oars.
Out to the middle he paddled them both
Then dropped in the anchor so gently they'd float.
She talked and she chattered about little girl things
Now looking back she must have made his ears ring.
He laughed and he nodded answered questions on cue
As the greatest dad ever, what else would he do?
An afternoon on the lake just father and daughter.
In an old gray canoe out on the water.
Not a single fish caught, only memories were made
That dark gloomy morning became a wonderful day.
At night in her bunk as Dad tucked her in
"Thanks for taking me fishing" she said with a grin.
He turned out the light then closed her door
She's warm in her bed while out side the rain pours.
Now closing her eyes she pictures that lake
And the millions of circles the raindrops did make.
No life in the forest, nothing moving around
Just that old gray canoe laying there on the ground.

It was a bright sunny day, though mixed with scattered sprinkles of snow,
The Lord had a special soul yet to be given a name this November morning and so…………..
Looking down upon his mother earth,
A young man named George and a young woman named Rose
A beautiful day, a fresh new birth,
Unto these lovers he choose.
(So chipping off a piece of the moon and the sun
The soul of a poet was born and they named him, Don Juan.)
Curly hair and a beautiful smile,
Never before a more handsome child.
Little did they know, the looks and the name,
Would be his ticket to the Player Games.
So as time went on there was formed the perfect player,
Old school pimp, poet, lover, fighter, and heartless woman slayer.
The looks, the name, pushed him on this path from the start,
No one, but Don Juan, knew that none of this was truly in his heart.
So day in, day out, up, down and around about the play,
Don Juan went on his way-a different woman every day.
Wondering just what was really the big deal?
Was this admirable life of his times just a cover?
Would he ever find true love from a real true lover?
Fast cars, money, guns and drugs,
Young cats and old alike praised him as the players' thug.
Although he was very good at all he tried to do
This meant he was very good at being very bad, too!
After several narrow escapes from the law,
And gruesome murders he can't admit he ever saw
He decided this thug life, this lonely player's role
Was only good for a short life.
The road to death of a Poets soul.
All the while all he wanted – All he would ever yearn
Was one true love and family
(But alas, this soul had a lot to learn).
With truth and faith came much heartache,
Wine and beers flushed with rivers of tears,
Of failed love affairs, year after years.
Still masking the pain with his smile and his name,
Though deep inside his tears poured like crying rain.
There were false threats of a son then came his beautiful little daughter
By an alcoholic woman who couldn't give her daughter a quarter
Nor get out the bed to give her a drink of water!
He stuck by his daughter from the second she was born
She has his last name and a similar first name of, Dawn.
Three years passed with no sign of the mother-his ex-lover,
Till one day she poked her jealous head
From under her alcohol vomit stained covers.
Knocking on his door with officers from Juvenile,
Full of hurtful sinful lies, knowing all the while….
Her true motivation behind all this hurt
Was only to see the soul or a true poet, hurt!
Now it's been well over two or three years
Since he and his daughter shared a smile or a tear.
Having no idea where his baby girl might be,
His smile growing bigger so less pain others would see.
So with that let's come to a temporary end,
To the look behind the big wide grin.
And don the mask of joy and laughter,
Waiting to open the book on yet another chapter.
Always so lonely though in a crowded room,
The smiling best man, but never the groom.
This poet's soul constantly reshapes itself,
Having learned there will be no one else-
Until he can find peace within himself.
Merely the portray-er of the role of a player.
Of all the roles that he can choose,
It's the only on he has
And has
To lose.

There on the deck, I took a practice swing
tormented in the possiblity--
then hope was dashed--I found no hope to bring
up to the plate, when Ump cried out, "Strike 3!"
I was the last to bat--in this last game--
just oh for three, my record said it all!
And in the dugout, faces all the same,
the looks of gloom! Just waiting for my fall!
I took my place, right up there to the plate.
Out on the mound, the picher grinned at me--
as if he hoped to make my swinging late,
or throw me one--I couldn't even see!
He'd walked a batter, waiting on first base,
to tie the score, if we'd get in the race!
"No girl can hit!" I heard the catcher call,
and echoed from the bleachers was the same,
we made our stands, the umpire cried "Play ball!"
and then I vowed to get us in the game!
I gripped the bat, the windup came too fast!
As did the ball, but where it should have been!
"Strike one!" the umpire yelled at last--
The fastest ball that I have ever seen!
"She'll never swing!" the catchers words for me--
then threw the ball out to the pichers hand!
While out on first, my runner waits to see
if I can swing, or only make a stand!
Right in my face--the picher scouled a bit--
while I choked up--and readied for a hit!
All set to hit--I made it then my dream!
and came the ball--I could not swing at that!
"Strike twoooo!" the umpire made it scream,
then said to me, "You've got to swing the bat!"
The bat it weighed a hundred pounds or so;
"She'll never swing," the pichers eyes did say,
With that he gave his very best, I know!
I glued my eyes--as it screamed straight my way!
I never saw the hitting of the ball!
but won't forget the cracking sound of it!
Nor know again the feeling of it all
of this my very most important hit!
The sound it made--that ev'ryone could hear--
a batters dream--but pichers' greatest fear!
The ball soared hard and high past second base!
then seemed to drop so slowly from above,
as quick as I could get us in the race,
I watched it bounce right off the fielders glove!
The tying run was just ahead of me!
Ole "Never-Steal" now ran like not before!
And right behind, fast as my feet could be
I gave my best! And then I gave some more!
The crowd gave out the seasons wildest plea!
As I yelled to the runner just ahead,
with all the grit that I could find in me,
"I'm going in! And if you stop--you're dead!"
Ole "Never Steal" was giving all he could
and on his heels--I made my promise good!
We saw the ball come by as rounding third!
Not once a hesitation in it all--
and as the umpire watched without a word--
he swept his arms, to make the tying call!
The score was tied--third baseman set to throw--
now ready at home plate, the catcher stood--
and through it all--my only thought was GO!
but if I did--I'd have to make it good!
I knew the ball was thrown down to home plate!
The catcher poised, and glued where he should be!
I had to slide, and heard the ball hit late!
"She's SAFE! She's SAFE!" my Daddy yelled to me!
Now layed to rest--our coaches greatest fear--
the only game we won--throughout the year!

Tried to trace this man,
studied the case and had my plan,
a soul is whispering from somewhere
asking for help, I said, back off !!!
But a call is a call
it searches my soul and being,
then found myself doing it
i must say, back off to this man!
Met him and succeeded
invited me to his place, we proceeded,
as I enter his great place
full of goons, must I back off from it?
He offered a drink as he mixed,
he went for a while to change his shirt,
so when he came back and drink his piece,
Alas! 10minutes, he went off asleep!
Traced the walls for possible passage,
and I have found where she was a savage
I hurriedly searched for the lock and there I found
hanging at the back of her life size portrait in grief profound!
I ease to unlock by the key I got
and quickly lift her up, help her to get up
we walked pass by the sleeping monster
tried cautiously to escape away from there.
Damn, he is awake!
He advanced to kick
threw it hard so quick
too glad I managed
to kick back in a glimpse!
I reached my gun, hidden on my waistline,
Aimened vigorously, with authority
Stay where you are!
Back off !!!
He tied her up,
used her for his cover-up,
urging needs of flesh he had...
Damn man, back off !!!
Two years she wept for pain
asked mercy from this man but in vain,
she almost lost her mind and gave up her soul...
Spare her, back off !!!
Caught between the crossfire
of ravaging flame of bonfire heat,
Burnt her skin like hell...
Back off !!!
He tried to get up, moved forward,
I have to trigger the gun,
I said, "Come on, and you'll be gone!"
Back off !!!
And bullet is heard, ripping his left leg,
fell down to the floor, he cried and beg
"Daughter, I love you so much, don't let her do this!
help me, tell her back off please!"
I almost killed the man!
Yes, why not? I can do it!
But I controlled, called backups
I will never back off to this fight!
I saw her weep loudly, her life was a mess
Damn to this vulture who eats his own flesh!
He deserve a bullet on his head, don't you think?
Ruining his daughter's life, he must be thrown in hell!
Flesh to flesh, blood to blood
Is it easy to back off and just let this pass?
No way! How dare anyone would say:
Back off, Carole, stop and never look back!
No, no, no, no, no!
He must pay his crime, I swear he must die!
But I am not a killer,
nor a hunter but I would lie,
If I don't admit I wanted him to burn in hell and die!
Then I turned my back, let them get him
Turned him over, trembling with anger
He must be thrown into steel bars
let him pay what he has done, for years...
Steel bars, keep this man!

It was a dry, dusty day when I saw the wheelbarrow, with long handles made of dark wood.
The wheel is struggling as it carries its burden, but it manages the job that it should. The man pushing appears to be crying, his eyes all puffy and red. It's time to move on, but I wait, I wait for him to reach me instead. The wheelbarrow has a dark green cover, such a sickly, metallic sweet smell underneath, such a heavy lump in my throat, "don't lift the cover!" but regardless, I pull back it back to see.
The first thing to strike me, such a tiny hand, tiny fingers all bent into a fist, and an inch below there in my big gloved hand, the smallest most delicate wrist. Her face is held together by bright orange thread, her eyes are searching the stars. Her crown should still be there, on that beautiful head, where she lays, crumpled up inside her Dads cart. I put back the cover, swallow hard and just stand there, my head, Jesus Christ I can't think, my pounding heart tearing itself apart inside my trained body, at this beautiful little angel in pink.
Her father, his eyes screaming toward me sobs gently, silent rage and yet deafening shock. Why can't I bring myself to look into this man's eyes, oh Lord, grant me some breath that I may talk. To say sorry, to ask why, to just speak in his tongue, to show him that I really care. I realise that I could never find words, I've no such tragedy to compare.
I walked away from the blue wheelbarrow, thinking that I could leave it behind. But every night as my daughter hugged me, that wheelbarrow crashed into my mind. Whenever she cried my stomach went tight, when she laughed those dark clouds disappeared, whenever she told me she loved me, I knew that I had nothing to fear, but yet so much. The wheelbarrow changed me forever, drank me to illness, and brought my whole life to the edge. I couldn't switch off from that sweet smell, and I couldn't explain that to friends.
I will never forget, such a small wrist in my hand, such beautiful soft lips kissing the sky. Such a pretty pink little dress, though stained red with blood, those clear and lifeless brown eyes. I wish that I had asked for her name, what to call that three year old victim of war, so small and so beautiful with those innocent eyes, my body aches that I can't wish so any more.
If I could explain to people, about my demons, in one image to make them understand. I'd draw that blue wheelbarrow with the green cover on top, and that sweet delicate wrist in my hand. Two days after the wheelbarrow I became a Father and to my comfort, for the rest of my life I will know. No matter how often the wheelbarrow returns, I have my daughter, here for me to hold.

I had heard this song by an obscure artist, with a twist as it played verses
of 'Somewhere over the rainbow, with 'What a wonderful' world entwined.
It's simply melody strummed on a ukalele mesmerized me as I listened on the radio
in the car.
I remember saying to my wife, "I want this at my funeral." I was morbidly honest
that way.
Several years later, I was watching an episode of E.R. in which our favorite
character, Dr. Green discovers he has brain cancer, and a short time to live. He's
basically given the advice we all wish to avoid. "You don't have long, retire, enjoy
the time you have left."
Dr Green, plans a vacation with his daughter, who's relationship has been strained
since his divorce. For the next three or four episodes Dr. Green and his daughter
spend his last days surfing in Hawaii. Mending the relationship slowly, to a degree
of understanding only a father and daughter could know. He's still Dad, and she's a
teen working on letting go of her resentments.
In the last episode of the story, he's not doing well. He keeps passing out and his
strength is waning. He knows it's only a matter of days, possibly hours; but doesn't
share this with his daughter, the scenary is of a bungalo on the beach, white sands
surround the openness of the primitive bungalo, palm trees speckle the beach, and
in the distance lies the royal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.
A day of surfing is suddenly changed as he suggests that his daughter go ahead of
him, he'll stay back and watch until his strength returns. So he sits in a hammock,
and watches out in the water as she strolls off to surf, Background music grows to
this song I'd so loved, by and artist named Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo?ole and as the
music is playing softly, the camera pans in on the face of Dr. Green for his death
scene, and his last breath. The camera pulls back, from the back of his head, above
the bungalo, above the beach as if we are Dr Green's soul departing this earth.
Yes, I cried like a little school girl as realized that my favorite character had just
been erased from our show, with no chance to come back for a Cameo... What!? of
course that's why I cried! OKAY! it was a tear jerker! and the saddest part, was the
relationship with his daughter was still in repair . Moral of the story i guess-- You
never know when its your time, so don't hold on to petty resentments, and love
every minute of life.
I later learned, Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo?ole; had also died

First borne kin of me loin, why just like yesterday
Unbeknownst to this then unpracticed dada how tempus fugit
Will in a brief flash (like time lapse photography) steal a way
Thine eldest lass swaddled, pampered and attended with oye vay
Sans another soiled diaper to change, retrieve futile dropped binky,
Or sundry other basic need to get abreast per comfort to stay
E'en the simple pleasure per warmth from winter solar ray
Which constancy of nurturance seemed to last as long as infinity
a mental calculation said progeny tossed aside like…child's play
Yet this papa pined for harmonic, idyllic and pacific month o May
When picture perfect weather invited me baby daughter to explore or lay
Upon the fresh mown hay
Innocent august bliss stashed in her memory bank molded like clay
Whereby this papa tried to keep danger at bay
But tis rash to seal hermetically and try to keep jarring reality away
Until she sped thru fifteen years on this earthen tarmac
Beautiful dame with an attractive physique and mind that takes up slack
From strains imposed from this fractious abode, where I rack
My noggin per our precarious, perilous perch whence we must pack
A hardship no doubt internalized by this sweet babe smarts she aint lack
In tandem to her maturation and self reliance emotional light years
Ahead of this sire, she addresses as "sir", who emotes with flack
At utter chaos here and thus realizes internal misery will take shape
When she and the younger punim come back
Yet, her absence felt though she oft spent time alone
In the former master bedroom, now wishing for a clone
Of thine delightful youth and marvel whence
Sixteen years ago from the womb she entered this World Wide Web
While "mother – abby" did push and groan
Whereby tears streamed down me cheeks at miracle biology did hone
Over the course of nine months gestation, and now…merely on loan
When she becomes of age to take flight, though this father will moan
But tis fitting and proper offspring doth not become a rolling stone
Like me, he who contributed to this precious gift no gem canst a tone
If…bereft of this sweet progeny
For this poet would cease to enjoy life and enter the twilight zone!

My Dad was Chicagoan.
He would light up a room just like my Mom.
He loved to fish ! He loved his beer .
He also designed a Octagon home in the 70's
Built custom by hand . I was very proud of Dad .
Alcohol hit our Family , a curse .
He left my Mom when I was 14 in Illinois.
To renew in California , leaving a trail of tears .
Meeting my step mom , my sisters age .
My 2 sisters they were accepted in her world .
Not I , I looked too much Like Mom . Told this all my Life .
She a petite Beauty , RN , real estate Broker .
I did not see why it was wrong to be like mom ?
I moved in with Dad, His new Wife , and 2 sisters
eventually . All three women were competing for my Father .
I was kicked out at 16 yrs.
Years do pass , you try and accept people places and things .
At the end of Dads life , he was calling me once a week .
I ordered a Engraved Clock for the Fathers day coming.
This was a issue for the Wife and sisters , never invited to his new home , 2 Decades ~My little Brother & I , never wanted .
Dad passed suddenly one sad Spring Day . Not one word from his wife , all 3rd party, how and when, Dad Died . being denied the right to his address , even to say goodbye .
Not being able to send my engraved clock .
"Dad Passed " received call from sister whom just stayed a week with me , I took her all around the sites here . "1st day I get call , you should come , 2nd Day after , Dad's been cremated already . " It was a lie.
I went anyway , finding the funeral home, the Funeral Director was appalled at the denial displayed.
He insisted I was given 10 minutes alone with Dad , my Birthright to say Goodbye , he was in dismay over the Hostility towards a daughter ~
I get to this room of mean relative's. His sisters , Mine, angry looks , hearing from a Aunt "What is she doing Here ! " I can't give nor reason or rhyme.
Shame to you and all that participated that wicked day.
Are you Glorified with Power? Denied the right to grieve ,
Left with no sane answers to give in hatred received by Blood . Some , just Spouses , telling me I had no right to Say Goodbye to my own Father , My DAD .
My Dad wanted me there , I know he did . I love Him and will never forget , his youngest girl whom looked like Mom . I know in my heart and dreams he speaks.
We all see when we leave . May God not allow any Son or Daughter to go through such Evil.
Thank-you Poetry Soup for returning my voice .

I know a man of humility, love and kindness
This man is not so famous to the world but he is so famous in my world.
To raise four kids ain't an easy job
With a wage that wasn't enough
Growing up in an environment so down to earth,
He made sure the kids followed what he demanded for,
He made them all disciplined,well behaved and independent souls.
It wasn't an easy task for him and his wife,
Though rough from outside,soft from inside
Thinking for others first before his 's is the motto of his life.
This man whom I know for years and years is none other than my father
My hero,my inspiration of strength and also my great weakness
This man have stood by me in all my imperfections, giving me strength and
encouraging me towards perfections.
Taught me to fight the wild storms in life
Taught me to love selflessly
Taught me to stand tall and strong .
No books or no teachers would have taught what my father taught me.
He has seen much of life,
Some great,some not,helped us be what we want to be
No matter where I may be,what I may do or who I may become,
I am sure my father's always there for me.
He has been a solid rock for me in times of hardships
A strong personality who thought I could move the mountain so easily
He is the person who toiled day and night to make sure our needs fulfilled.
He is a man like no other.
With every year that passes,my father you are so special for me than before.
I have no words to the describe my wonderful memories
But I am a lucky and proud daughter to have father like you.
You are the strength of me standing tall
You made me live my life with heads held high
You sat by me whenever I was Ill
You stood by me to wipe my tears whenever I cried.
You are the best among the
You are the first person whom I could talk about my relationship
You accepted all my flaws
And made me a better person with your love
You are my guiding force
My light ,my god in disguise
Though the years have brought a touch of gray,
And some wrinkles upon your face
But for me you are still the most handsome man that I grew up seeing as a child.
You are just amazing father any daughter would have.
Its been so long I haven't said you
Today is the day ,a special day of yours for me to say
I love you ,my father.
You are the gem of my life,
My hero,my guide and moderator of my life.
Happy fathers day.

My favorite chide to doctors: "Stay out of the patient's pocketbook, because you don't know what they can or can't afford." Do not prejudge what a patient can or can't do financially. How many times have you had a patient who complains the most about money drive up to an appointment in a very expensive car? Or a patient who you never would believe can afford your care write a check for a large sum of money? It all centers on the value that a patient places on the care. I wish I could tell you how many times in my career I have had a patient tell me they couldn't afford the care recommended to them, then, a week later, I ran into them coming out of the nail salon. This is a patient who did not have perceived value instilled upon them by the doctor. Our job is to tell the patient what they need to hear, and then let them make their own financial decisions.I believe that the "why" is easy to figure out. More important is the "how." First, let's look at some ways to maximize your results when asking for payment from a patient or describing their financial responsibility.
The following are some helpful scripts that you can use in your financial report of findings to help increase your odds of getting to Yes!
Know when NOT to talk! Don't try to fill the silence while we wait for the reply from the patient.
Know when NOT to talk! Don't try to fill the silence while we wait for the reply from the patient.
Objection #1: The patient wants to wait till next visit to decide. Our problem is that we expected to put both the balance of yesterday's visit and ongoing care into a plan for them.
"It's not a problem, Mrs. Jones, if you need to speak to your husband. I know that I wouldn't want to make a decision like this without my husband present, either. That is why we hoped he would be able to attend this visit, so that he could better understand what's going on with your care. Let's go ahead and take care of your balance to date, so we can start with a clean slate on the next visit. After you've had a chance to visit with Mr. Jones, we will be able to recalculate a payment plan that will work well in your budget. Today's charges added to yesterday's balance will be $150."
Objection #2: The patient wants to make a further decision about care beyond insurance coverage once insurance visits are used.
"Mr. Smith, I understand what you may be thinking. However, if we were to only recommend the amount of care covered by your insurance, this would be a tremendous disservice to you. Your third-party coverage was never meant to cover all of your care. That's the reason we've joined companies like ChiroHealthUSA, to be able to extend to you a contracted discounted rate for the portion of your care that needs to come out of pocket. I would much rather look at how we can spread this across more time and work with your monthly payment, than have you consider not taking all of Dr. Jones's recommendations. The 15 visits covered by your insurance will only be the acute phase of your care. As Dr. Jones explains, to stop your care at that point would be like taking your braces off after just a couple of months of treatment. Again, that's the reason why we try to make this affordable."
Objection #3: The patient feels the total amount for care is too far out of their budget.
"Yes, Mary, I understand that this amount may be outside your budget. We have already been able to discount your fees considerably by discussing ChiroHealthUSA, and my concern is that, if we go visit by visit, you will find that it gets out of hand. My experience is, patients tend to get out of pain and then think they can do it on their own. What can I do to help you make this more affordable so that you can commit to the full treatment plan recommended by Dr. Jones?"
In closing, remember that he who asks the question controls the conversation. Not only is it our duty to ask for and collect payments from patients, it is a part of the healing process. That patient who pays will stay and get better quicker. Asking for anything increases the odds of getting it by 200%. Once you master this skill, exercise the asking muscle often, and you'll be surprised at how effective it is.

When new employee Isabelle (Rocío Verdejo) is hired in hopes of improving dismal sales, some things do change and after recruiting fellow strip-mall burnout Martin (C. Clayton Blackwell), she's got everyone working together to split a common goal - 200,000 dollars.

In order to accomplish this, you'd have to have all Java code in the JSPs. No classes, no beans, no tags, no tag files. What a complete and utter mess it would be!
Originally posted by Sam Doder: I thought it wasn't a good idea but I cann't argue with the boss to much so.
And if a servlet extended another class convert it into a jsp include statment. I know this will not work very well.
Does anybody know how to beable to get the updating of a file without shuting down the server?
I know with jsp you can set the time for it to recompile updated jsp files.
But when I make a change to a servlet file I want it, to act exactly like a jsp. In that when I modify a servlet I don't have to shutdown and restart the server before the changes take place.
As I said, you don't need to shut down the server. Simply restart the web app. But there's no getting around the web app restart.
Originally posted by Sam Doder: Because I don't want to shutdown the whole entire application server either, because I have more then one application running on the application server. So is their away to only shutdown/restart a piece of the application server.

The Nachury Lab is part of the department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Our lab uses a combination of biochemistry, cell biology and in vitro reconstitution to study the molecular basis of complex hereditary disorders.
A major focus of the lab is the study of the primary cilium, a cellular organelle projecting at the surface of the cell that is required for the transduction of Hedgehog and planar cell polarity signals and concentrates many signaling receptors. Fascinatingly, molecular defects in cilium biogenesis lead to a group of hereditary disorders characterized by obesity and skeletal malformations. Our major goal is to characterize these disorders at the molecular and cellular levels to gain insight into the basic mechanisms of primary cilium biogenesis and to discover novel ciliary signaling pathways.
Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS): a disease of the cilium.
BBS patients suffer from a variety of symptoms including obesity and polydactyly. We discovered that a core complex of BBS proteins coordinates vesicular transport to the primary cilium.

This followed, for the Warriors, a 64-49 victory over Community Health Academy on Dec. 7 in a game where Westhill head coach Kevin King matched wits with his own son, Michael, in a game that raised money for the family of Chris Collins, a 2000 Westhill graduate who passed away last year.
After a 20-8 first quarter, the Warriors maintained a steady margin on CHA the rest of the way while getting long minutes from its reserves. Jordan Roland still managed 18 points as Reynolds and Ryan Roland each had seven points. Chase Gedney, Mike Burton and Dan O'Connell got six points apiece.
Westhill didn't have the only big victory on Friday night. Solvay, struggling with an 0-2 record, and snowed out of Wednesday's game with Hannibal, managed to rise up from those struggles and knock off 5-0 Bishop Grimes 56-50 in overtime to break into the win column.
The Bearcats trailed, 20-17, at halftime, when it used a 15-9 push through the third quarter to move out in front. Though the Cobras rallied to tie it, 45-45, and force OT, Solvay regained control in the extra period and used a series of free throws to put it away.
Davis Kippen, with 17 points, led Solvay's effort, with Cody Pucello close behind as he got 15 points. Tyler Cardinell added 11 points as, for Grimes, Tom Steinberg (12 points), Joe Arrigo (11 points) and Johnny Wike (10 points) hit double figures.
Jordan-Elbridge had just one game last week, when it went to Phoenix last Monday night and could not get much going in a 63-40 defeat to the Firebirds.
The Eagles kept up in the first quarter, only trailing 16-14. But Phoenix soon proved why its 2-0 start wasn't a fluke, more than doubling J-E's output, 35-16, over the course of the next two periods to pull clear.
Kyle Matousek finished with 11 points, while Brandon Macvicz, Ryan Cooper and Zach Wagner put up seven points apiece. Phoenix's Dylan Doupe led both sides with 18 points. J-E was scheduled to play at APW on Friday night, but that, like Westhill's game with the Rebels, was snowed out.

Polish EU Legislator's anti-Semitic Booklet Sparks Outrage
Booklet published by a far-right Polish deputy causes stir among EU officials and Jewish organizations.
An anti-Semitic booklet published by a far-right Polish deputy to the European Parliament has sparked outrage among European Union officials and Jewish organizations.
The 32-page brochure "Civilizations at war in Europe" by Maciej Giertych, says Jews "create their own ghettos" because they like to separate themselves from others.
"I am deeply troubled by ... the content of the brochure published by ... European deputy Giertych," European Parliament President Hans-Gert Poettering said, adding that he would investigate publication of the booklet, which bears the parliament's logo, but wasn't funded by the Strasbourg-based assembly.
Giertych, a 71-year-old biology professor, is a member of the ultra-Catholic League of Polish Families, a junior partner in Poland's right-wing coalition government, and father of Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Roman Giertych.
The remarks were condemned by the European Jewish Congress, which said: "The EJC ... reserves the right to bring to court the author of this anti-Semitic text, which reeks of medieval hate and 19th-century racial stereotyping."
Giertych was not available for comment.

Series: Golden Balls
Early-evening ITV Game Show from the producers of Deal or No Deal that aired from 2007-09. To begin, 12 golden balls were drawn from a giant lotto machine-styled contraption known as the Golden Bank (which contained about a hundred of them). Each ball concealed a different sterling amount, usually ranging from £10 to over £70,000. Before distributing them to the four players, the Lovely Assistant also mixed in four "Killer" balls, bringing the total to 16.Each player opened up two of their balls for everyone to see, while the other two remained visible to the player only. The goal of the game was to ultimately build the largest pot you could by keeping as many high-valued balls in play as possible: after the distribution of the first set of balls, the contestants proceeded to debate over who they believed had the worst hand (low-valued and Killer balls were the main targets), often defending themselves by outright bluffing about the contents of their other two balls, before proceeding to vote out a contestant Weakest Link-style and throwing their balls in the trash. If there was a tie in the voting, the eliminated player was chosen at random.After the first elimination, the balls remaining from the first round (along with two more balls from the Golden Bank and one more Killer, making 15) were re-shuffled and distributed again to the remaining three contestants, and the process continued again. With 10 balls and two players remaining, it was then time to decide how much they would ultimately be playing for: the contestants alternated picking random balls to "bin" (taking them out of the game), and "win" (adding it to the jackpot). If a Killer was kept, the jackpot was divided by 10.But how much of the pot would each contestant get? Well, it's time to use an old favorite, the Prisoner's Dilemma. You've watched enough Friend or Foe to know how this works; the two contestants discussed their situation and tried to psyche each other out, and then secretly chose to "Split" or "Steal". If both contestants chose Split, they split the jackpot. If one player chose Steal, s/he got to take the whole lot. If they both chose Steal, nobody won.The show ended up being a Sleeper Hit for ITV at first, but began to taper off later on, resulting in its demise.
This series provides examples of
- All or Nothing: Happened whenever at least one player chose to Steal.
- Cassandra Truth: When a player has two killers on their front row, the obvious means by which to persuade the others to take them through anyway is to claim a ridiculously high amount. Naturally, the others will typically be wise to this and not fall for it, leading to this trope when - as is sometimes the case - the player with the killers is actually telling the truth.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Usually, if a player starts with two killers on the front row, they will not get through, though exceptions are known.
- Game Show Host: Jasper Carrott.
- Home Game: There are board, mobile, and console versions.
- Laser-Guided Karma: One middle-aged male contestant said his elderly female rival reminded him of his dead grandmother. This offended her and actually reduced the third contestant - a young woman - to tears. The vote went to a three-way tie break, and despite the man clearly having the most money, on the basis of his attitude, the women got rid of him. Adding salt to the wound, the man refused to even apologise for his comments, despite both players insisting he do so.
- Lovely Assistant: Amanda, though Jasper acts as if she's evil, maliciously adding the killer balls to screw over the contestants.
- My Greatest Second Chance: One episode featured a group of returning contestants who got screwed over by the Steal ball. Ironically, the winner (a woman named Sarah) claimed £100,150 with a steal, making her the show's biggest winner.
- Mystery Box: Actually, they're more like mystery spheres, right?
- The Power of Trust: The Game. The final portion of the show has two contestants, face to face, deciding whether to steal or share the pot. If both steal, they get nothing. If both share, they split the pot. If one shares and the other steals, the stealer gets everything and the sharer gets nothing. A British man who describes himself as a "professional game show contestant" studied the show and realized that the face-offs all followed the same formula: if one contestant was absolutely sincere in their desire to share the money, they were stealing. Every single time. So he devised a better solution: he went on the show, made it to the final round, and then immediately told his fellow finalist that he was going to steal (albeit with the caveat that he would share the money after the show). 100% certainty, absolutely no room for compromise. Most final rounds go on for five minutes. These two spent 45 minutes with the unfortunate second man trying everything to convince the professional to change his mind and share, because that's what he wanted to do. Eventually, the other guy agreed and shared, at which point the professional revealed that he had done the same. The kicker is that after the show, the other guy was interviewed and asked what he was planning to do before he was harangued: steal.
- Smug Snake: Some contestants will assume that money alone will get them through the show, when trust is just as important (since naturally, a player will want people who are likely to split in the final). This can backfire horribly. See Laser-Guided Karma, above, for a specific example.

Two men pleaded innocent to heroin distributionFebruary 08,2013Two men deny heroin charges
BRATTLEBORO Two men pleaded innocent at criminal court in Brattleboro on Thursday for allegedly distributing heroin in the greater Brattleboro area.
Joshua Hartwell, 25, of Brattleboro and Julio Davila, 32, of Holyoke, Mass. were subjects of a three-month investigation by the Vermont Drug Task Force, according to Matt Birmingham of the Narcotics Investigation Unit said. Hartwell and Davila were arrested on Wednesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston.
Hartwell and Davila were each charged with selling, trafficking and possession of heroin. Hartwell is being held on $10,000 bail and Davila $100,000 because of an active arrest warrant for unrelated charges, a criminal court clerk said.
Status conferences for Hartwell and Davila have not been determined. The Windham County States Attorney Office is prosecuting this case.MORE IN This Just In

Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
The same deal as yesterday, keep the rumors flowing and check the twitter box on the right.
The news from the Cubs is that Carlos Pena has declined arbitration, although Levine indicates he may return on a free agent deal. If he signs elsewhere, the Cubs will get a compensation pick between the first and second rounds of the draft. Aramis hasn't formally declined, but obviously very unlikely he would accept since he declined the Cubs $16M option already, unless he misread the market and a multi-year deal isn't really out there, but that seems unlikely. My guess is he goes to the Brewers.
- Talks continue on Ian Stewart with names like Blake DeWitt, Tyler Colvin and DJ LeMahieu being mentioned.
- Albert Pujols had 10-year offers from the Marlins and Cardinals and it appears he's headed back to the Cardinals. The Cubs were in the mix somehow, but don't appear to be a real threat to land him. Marlins may move on to Fielder or focus their dollars on pitching.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Maybe he is over 28? Oh, and, then you would only be paying for past performance I guess - instead of future imminent failure.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Fuck that trade.

Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Before he blew out his elbow in the AFL post-2008 (and I think I might have been at that game), Casey Weathers was one of the Rockies Top 5 prospects, and one of the top closer prospects in baseball. He was the closer for Team USA in the 2008 Olympics, and was a college teammate of ex-Cub Ryan Flaherty at Vanderbilt.
Unfortunately, he has taken longer than normal to come back from the TJS (he missed all of the 2009 season and most of the 2010 season, and could not throw strikes this past season at AA or in the AFL post-2011), so he is a big question mark at this point.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
I thought I read the Cubs were supposedly higher on Soler than Cespedes? But I agree, Darvish please.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
[EDIT] Ne'ermind, just having page update probs.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
No you're not. Our big move at the Winter Meetings was to trade for someone who got out-hit by Tyler Colvin last year.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
The funny thing is if both Fielder and Pujols end up out of the NL Central, those would be the 2 biggest deals the Cubs didn't make this winter to improve their chances. And you guys thought HoyStein don't have mind control powers.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Agreed. That would vastly improve the chances of earning the right to be swept out of the first round of the playoffs. Fingers crossed!! Though, I'm still hoping for Fielder.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Cubs are pretty damn good at earning the right to be swept out of the first round.

Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Bruce Miles tweet...
GM Hoyer calls Stewart a "gifted third baseman" and hopes change of scenery will help offense.
--will Stewart's defense at 3B be an upgrade from ARam?
--will Stewart be able to draw more walks than Colvin?
--will Stewart's improvement be Pena-like, meaning it's a good season if he hits .225?
are the Cubs the tallest midget in the NL Central?
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Here is a 5/9/11 fangraphs article on Stewart during his early 2011 season struggles. Some interesting discussion regarding who would be a trade partner for Stewart at that point considering his struggles.
Stewart's pre-season 2011 ZiPS projection (.248/.332/.462, .341 wOBA, 10.1% walk rate, 30.1% strikeout rate)
Stewart's plate discipline hasn't completely broken down. His walk rate is about the same as his career rate, he's swinging less than usual (and only slightly more at pitches outside the zone, according to BIS), and he's making the same amount of contact. If professional scouts see something in his approach that means he isn't the same, approximately league-average hitter he's been in the recent past, I will cede to them. Statistically, this looks like the same guy: a 26-year old hitter with some contact issues, but a good walk rate, and above-average power. Stewart's window for stardom is just about shut, but given his ZiPS RoS projection and the fact that he plays at least an average third base, he's still good enough to be at least an average player in terms of his true talent.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
I like the gamble. We get a league average 26 year old 3rd baseman and a live arm. In exchange for 2 guys who are Utility spare parts.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
league average?
which, mexico?
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
and the Aaron Gleeman linked article calling for the Rocks to trade Stewart.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
do any ian stewart fans have anything to say about the guy that doesn't involve a number? ...especially since the AAA ones seem to be the only useful ones unless you want to project power and ignore what showed up last year.
what is so nice about his plate approach? the only good thing about this deal is it costs next to nothing both in what was given up and what's being paid...it also leaves dewitt/baker as the main 3rd base backup. well, it's good he can actually field 3rd...that's a good start over a guy like c.mcgehehehehe at least.
i know the guy's minor league numbers looks like a bunch of shiny dimes or some crap, but what about that guy swinging a bat looks like upside to anyone?
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3

Does anyone have any non-Facts to argue with my biased TV viewing?

Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Are there any Ian Stewart fans?
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
I saw so few games last year even of the Cubs. Real busy with work, but mostly because I was just so disgusted with the direction of the team, and saw nothing to look forward to even in the future.
So, even tho Stewart had an okay rookie year, I really can't remember even seeing him bat. Ever. I can't imagine he has a lot of fans in Chicago. "HEY! LOOKEE!!! WE GOT IAN STEWART! WOO HOO!!"
Most of us casual fans, and that's what I was last year, don't even know who the guy is.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Brief thumbnail on Ian Stewart & Casey Weathers roster status info:
STEWART: 3+050 MLB Service Time... under club control through 2014 season... eligible for salary arbitration... was also eligible for arbitration post-2010 as a "Super Two" & ended up with a $2.2M+ salary in 2011... has one minor league option left, but he would need to clear Optional Assignment Waivers before he can be sent to minors...
WEATHERS: No MLB Service Time... has two minor league options left...
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Underwhelming off season thus far.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Just wait until we bring in James Loney or Kotchman for the other corner. Things will look a lot rosier then.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
I'm thinking Daric Barton after he's non-tendered on Monday. Then everything will be coming up roses.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Why wait for the non-tender. Why not trade potential useful parts for him now?
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
How about just going International? Sign Cespedes, Darvish, Soler, and Concepcion and be happy.
Re: Winter Meetings 2011 Day 3
Phil Rogers gives Jaramillo too much credit as a Mr.Fixit, since Bagwell, Biggio and Castro never stumbled in their early careers, while Gonzalez, Rodriguez and Palmeiro were hitting stars well before they met RJ. Tyler Colvin, meanwhile, who had his ticket out of town punched by Rudy, is not mentioned in the article.
But Rogers does make a good point when he says that Stewart may be just a one-year placeholder for Vitters or Lake. The Cubs didn't necessarily want to invest a lot in a 3B this year.

there's nothing like crapping out of the playoffs with a strong/young cheap team after pinching pennies for years then having theo talk about having to be creative with money to make things work for 2016...but hey, baseball isn't baseball without a farmer's market and beer garden plaza with ice rinks.
they can do both...then again, if you want to look at it from a business point of view, they don't have to do both because the team is expected to be competitive and the merch+tickets+eyes-on-team are going to be at a peak unless they fail badly.
Really ?
They are trying to bring the facility to the 20th century.
I think they know what they are doing.
With the Cubs adding Pierce Johnson to their roster and not exposing/losing him to the Rule 5 Draft keeps the trade ancestry tree alive that started in 1999 with Tom Gordon and undrafted Adam Morrissey and includes 17 players, the trade tree progressed to involve the Hee Sop Choi for Derrek Lee deal and the famous Aramis Ramirez/Kenny Lofton deal..Pierce Johnson is the compensation pick for Aramis Ramirez in 2012

Well played.
Yeah, the Rex brothers, Tyrannosaurus and Oedipus

See What The Cubs Are Building This Off-Season For Wrigley Plaza, Clubhouse
CUBBIES-4-EVER: It's not unusual for a PTBNL to be chosen after the Rule 5 Draft from the list of Rule 5 eligible players who were not selected. That way, a club gets a player they like (perhaps somebody like OF Jeffrey Baez) without the cumbersome Rule 5 roster restrictions that go with a Rule 5 Draft pick.
Clayton Richard is absolutely, positively NOT a free-agent. He is under club control through the 2016 season.
Haren was 4-2 with a 4.01 ERA with the Cubs. Seems like he worked out just as expected.

I live in Florida currently. I've lived here for 6 yrs. it is where I met my ex. My family lives in Mi. I'm now 6 months pregnant and have chosen to live in Fl. For the time being. When I found out I was pregnant my plan was to move back home to Mi to be near my family. My baby's father was ok with me moving. (Here in fl. I have my grandparents and aunt who are very willing to help me) I changed my mind a few times about where I wanted to live and raise my son. That's when I decided to stay in fl. And see how it goes. I figured I shouldn't make a huge move if I was that unsure if it was really what I wanted. I haven't changed my mind again about moving out of state but I have been thinking a lot about not wanting to be stuck in Fl. After my son is born. My baby's father and I are not on good terms right now so I don't know if he would ever give me permission to move. Do I have any other options? Like what if I marry someone that has to move for their job.. I wouldn't be able to go?
Read over your divorce agreement. If it does not stipulate where you and your child can live then I would think it's okay to move wherever you wanted to. If you do get married then I would at least let your ex know you are getting married and if you move let him know where you move to just for respectability of him being the father.
Years back I wanted to move out of state with my 6&7yr olds. I filed a Change of Domicile order with the courts, and the judge granted it. I was able to move.

It may not be the three-ring circus of 20 or 30 years ago, but opening day of Iowa's pheasant season Saturday is still circled in red on the calendar for tens of thousands of upland bird hunters.
By now, hunters are aware that pheasant habitat and pheasant numbers swing the same way. When one is down, so is the other. Still, where there is good cover, there will be birds.
"Look for good, core winter cover: cattails, switchgrass or conifer plantings," said Todd Bogenschutz, DNR pheasant research biologist. "It may be not as many as past years, but we'll still have birds in those areas." ...

(WVLT) - Dozens of people in Knox County woke up to some rumbling this morning and investigators are still working to figure out what it was.
Dozens of calls flooded central dispatch at about 1:15am, mostly from two neighborhoods off Northshore Drive in West Knoxville; Admiral's Landing and Northshore Landing.
Many people tell us they woke up to loud rumbling and thought there were animals or prowlers in their basements or attics.
Others thought there was some sort of explosion shaking the ground.
J.R. Andrews lives in Admiral's Landing and says it woke his entire family up and they all ran outside to see what was going on.
"Half of our neighborhood had come outside and there was these constant shakes in the ground, constant thud. It felt like some type of missile attack," he said. "It wasn't an earthquake, I've been through an earthquake."
KUB not reporting any problems in the area and so far, there has been no reports of a possible earthquake.

1997 Nissan Truck • 4 cylinder Manual • 123,000 miles
The speedometer and odometer on my husband's 1997 Nissan pickup was sticking a few months ago, but if you tapped on the plastic in the cab, it would start to work. Now neither work at all. We want to sell the vehicle, which only has about 123,000 miles on it, but are concerned that prospective buyers may think it has much more mileage on it due to its age. On the other hand, we don't want an expensive repair. What causes the problem? Can we repair it ourselves (new cable or rehook up the original)? If not, how expensive a repair should it be? Thank you.
July 8, 2011.

Remove the cable from the cluster and make sure it is not rounded off which means it is worn out. If it is, replace the cable. If not, then the problem is in the cluster. You will need help with that repair.

A tractor begins the cleanup at the Atlantic Highlands Marina in October 2012 after superstorm Sandy.

A year after it went down in the flames of Congress' 2013 ideological budget battles, a plan to provide fisheries disaster aid to businesses hit by superstorm Sandy has been resurrected.
But at $75 million, the spending plan making its way through Congress is half the $150 million proposed last year, when New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Delaware were supposed to get $75 million to themselves to help Sandy-damaged fishing industries.
Now, it's likely to set off a feeding frenzy among lawmakers trying to get a cut for coastal states from Maine to Alaska, industry advocates said ...

I am NOT EXPERIENCED with prints, but unless I'm missing something, can't you just go to Home Depot and have plexiglass sheets cut the same size (or an inch bigger) than the prints then put them in a container with water and stack the prints print/plexiglass/print/plexiglass/etc/etc...
Leaving the container filled with water?
The plexiglass would prevent excess movement and is less pressure than glass, and would keep them stable?
Or am I totally off base here?
Can you also leave them to dry there and go back the next day?

Westmoreland County foster parents' per-diem payment to increase
Foster parents in Westmoreland County will be getting a raise.
County commissioners on Thursday approved an increase in the per-diem payment to foster parents to keep up with increasing child care costs and dwindling participation among adults needed to care for children.
"This is an incentive for more families to get involved and care for young people," said Commissioner Ted Kopas.
The increase, which takes effecton July 1, is the first in five years.
Per diem rates will increase to $30 for children under 12, $35 to care for those age 12 to 15, $50 for juveniles 16 through 18, and $25 for college-age foster children.
"The cost of everything is going up. It's necessary to keep this program going," Commissioner Charles Anderson said.
The raises will be paid to foster parents who contract directly with the county. Nearly half of Westmoreland County children in foster care are in the custody of parents who work for private-service providers that have contracts with the county.
There are currently 575 children in foster care, with 291 placed in homes overseen directly by the county. Another 284 children are placed in homes overseen by 17 private-service providers.
The private foster homes negotiate separate per diem rates with the county. For instance, commissioners on Thursday approved a new contract with Adelphoi Village Inc. for a new per diem rate for foster care at nearly $81.
"There is a national crisis for foster parents. They are hard to attract," said Dirk Matson, the county's director of human services. "The raises are incentive to attract more foster parents."
Last year, the county spent $2.7 million for foster care, about $400,000 less than was paid in 2011.
Commissioners budgeted $2.8 million for foster care this year.
Matson said changes could be made to bring the entire foster care program under county control. "The county is exploring whether it is fiscally feasible to move kids from private to county foster care," he said.

TribLive commenting policy
You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.
We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
