Free HIV testing for 'National HIV Testing Day'
Friday is National HIV Testing Day and organizations across the country are offering free and accelerated testing.
HIV is still a major concern in the U.S., particularly among young people and in specific communities.
Planned Parenthood is offering free testing at participating locations during regular business hours.
"In the United States, more than 1.1 million people are living with HIV, and almost one in six doesn't know it. You can't tell by looking at someone if they are infected HIV - the only way to know is to get tested," Adam Reilly, Planned Parenthood's HIV project manager, said via a release. "National HIV Testing Day is a reminder that getting tested is an important step in stopping the spread of HIV and taking care of ourselves."
Planned Parenthood said it provided 700,000 HIV tests nationwide in 2012.
"Planned Parenthood provides affordable, convenient HIV testing and sexual health information for women, men and young people in health centers across the country and throughout the year," Reilly said. "Our doors are open to everyone, and we're here for any questions or concerns you might have."
The group said HIV testing is quick and painless. The new rapid HIV tests can provide results in as fast as 20 minutes from just a swab inside the mouth.
To find a National HIV Testing Day location near you, check this map. Free testing in the San Diego area is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the San Ysidro Health Center / Casa at 2909 Coronado Avenue.

…. I couldn't care less about the lead characters but "there's just something about this case"
It's not the instant joy of Homeland but there's definitely the potential for something very good in The Bridge – The new Scandinavian crime drama showing on BBC4. It opened with a bridge official reporting the light had gone off on the bridge between Sweden and Denmark and the discovery of a dead body on the border itself. Cue introduction of the two detectives and lead characters; socially maladjusted, Swedish cop Soren Noren and laidback Martin.
So how does it rate? I liked the first two episodes, I wasn't wowed but who doesn't want to know why two halves of dead bodies belonging to different people have been put together and left on a bridge? The lead characters did less to keep my interest, they seemed a… Read more

Tuesday News, November 20
Jury Finds Jandreau Guilty on Seven Counts
(Le Mars) -- It took the jury just short of an hour to deliver a guilty verdict on all seven counts against Matthew Jandreau. The trial ended at almost 9:00 p.m. Monday evening following five days of testimony. The jury, that consisted of five men and seven women, found the 20 year old Jandreau guilty of burglary in the first degree, guilty of kidnapping in the third degree, guilty of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse causing bodily injury, guilty of attempted burglary in the second degree, guilty of operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent, guilty of criminal mischief, guilty of operating while intoxicated. The jury also decided the value of the criminal mischief for repair or
replacement was more than $500 but not more than $1000. Jandreau could face more than 25 years of prison time. On March 2nd, Jandreau started his string of criminal activities by starting at the J and J Cafe (Truck stop) and stealing a banana cake dessert bar. He then tried to steal a van, but left the van parked in the middle of the street and had stolen a women's purse that was left in the van by the owner. Jandreau then tried to break in a home by kicking the back door. He then continued a few blocks away and entered a home by breaking down the door. It was at this location that an eleven year old female juvenile was home alone from school as she was ill. Jandreau assaulted the young girl, disrobed the girl tried to place the young girl in both a dishwasher and broom closet, and finally threw her down a flight of stairs to the basement and kept assaulting her. The young girl sustained numerous injuries including a separated shoulder. It was at this address that law enforcement officials responded to a 9-1-1 emergency phone call which only screaming was heard on the phone. Through out the duration of the trial, Jandreau showed no expression of emotion, many times sitting in the chair with his hand holding up his head, as if giving the impression he was bored. While entering the courtroom, none of the jury members looked at the defendant, nor at either of the attorneys. During the reading of the verdict, Jandreau continued to show no emotion. A specific sentencing date was not scheduled, but Judge Neary did indicate it would take place within the next thirty days.
Briar Cliff Foreign Exchange Student Shot In Sioux City
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Sioux City police say a 20-year-old foreign exchange student is recovering after being shot at a local bar.
Police identified the gunshot victim as Briar Cliff University student Natacha Butera. She was listed in fair condition at a hospital Monday.
Police say Butera was shot in the arm and chest early Sunday in the first-floor bar of Mac Behr's.
Police say 24-year-old Soloman Harris fired a pistol at a man he had been fighting with, and the bullet instead hit Butera, piercing her liver and lung. Police say Harris did not know Butera, who
happened to be standing nearby. Harris has been charged and is being jailed.
Briar Cliff officials issued a statement saying its community "is very saddened about this unfortunate situation."
State House Candidate Calls For Recall Vote
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A Democrat who lost an Iowa House seat by just 22 votes on Election Day is seeking a recount of the votes.
The District 43 seat representing and area of suburban West Des Moines was won by Chris Hagenow, a Republican incumbent. He defeated Democrat Susan Judkins, of Clive.
The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/Qq3x9x ) that Judkins requested the recount Thursday.
A date for the recount hasn't yet been set but it must be completed by Dec. 3.
The district includes Windsor Heights and portions of Clive and West Des Moines in Polk County.
A spokesman for the Iowa Secretary of State's office said Monday that recounts also have been requested in one other House district
and a Senate race.
Agriculture and Business Organizations Call For Gas Tax Increase
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A coalition of farm and business groups is forming to push Iowa legislators for a 10-cent increase in state taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel.
Scott Newhard, of the Associated General Contractors of Iowa, told The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/SYNxXM) that he's expecting support for the idea from the Iowa Farm Bureau, the Iowa Bankers Association and several other agriculture and business groups.
Newhard says the fuel tax increase is needed to address a $215 million annual funding shortfall for critical maintenance and improvements needed by Iowa's road system.
Spokesman Tim Albrecht for Gov. Terry Branstad says Branstad would look favorably on raising tax revenue for roads and bridges only if the proposal were contained "within a broad, overall tax
reform package that reduces taxes on all Iowans."
College Scientists Claim Drought Due To Global Warming
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - More than 130 scientists from Iowa colleges and universities say this year's drought is consistent with a warmer climate predicted as part of global climate change
and more droughts can be expected.
Scientists and researchers from 27 Iowa colleges and universities signed the Iowa Climate Statement released Monday. It says a warming climate causes wet years to be wetter and dry years
to be hotter and dryer. Those extremes lead to more flooding and drought, and Iowa has experienced both in recent years.
The state was hard hit this year when drought spread across two-thirds of the country.
The scientists say warming will continue as global emissions increase and greenhouse gases accumulate, and they expect a growing number of droughts as soon as the 2020s.
Homeowners Receive Mortgage Relief
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - More than 570 Iowa homeowners have received mortgage relief including loan modifications and refinancing worth more than $19 million as part of a settlement with the nation's five largest mortgage banks.
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller says another $7 million will go to Iowa borrowers who lost their homes to foreclosure between January 2008 and December 2011 if their loan was serviced by one of
the five providers.
The relief is part of a $25 billion national settlement with JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Ally Financial.
Miller released the figures Monday as part of a progress report on the settlement with the banks.
UNI President Search Continues
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) - The committee searching for the next University of Northern Iowa president will hear an update on the process.
The committee meets Tuesday at UNI's Gilchrist Hall to discuss the timeline of the search, the status of candidates and the next steps.
Applications and nominations are currently due Dec. 14, and the panel is expected to recommend a slate of finalists to the Iowa Board of Regents.
The university is looking for a successor for President Ben Allen, who has announced plans to step down next year. Students, employees and alumni have been following the search closely because it comes amid a tight budget that caused Allen to make deep cuts to academic programs.
Former Police Officer Arrested
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A former Des Moines police officer who was given probation on a weapons charge in violation of his probation in a drug case has been recaptured.
Police say Brandon Singleton was arrested just after 7 p.m. Monday at a residence in east Des Moines. Iowa Corrections Department spokesman Fred Scaletta says Singleton's electronic tracking bracelet had been removed in violation of Singleton's probation terms. Scaletta said Singleton's family reported him missing on Friday.
Singleton was fired after he was caught with drugs in his patrol car last April. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and given a year of probation.
Singleton was arrested on the weapons charge a month later. On Nov. 1 he was given three years of probation and 30 days in jail on an unrelated charge.
Ankeny City Council Changes Mind Over Casino
ANKENY, Iowa (AP) - The Ankeny City Council has reversed itself and opted out of an agreement with a company that wants to build a $150 million casino near a new Interstate 35 interchange in town.
The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/Q7kZxY) that the council voted unanimously Monday against going forward with Wild Rose Entertainment.
Wild Rose officials said Friday that they would give Ankeny leaders the chance to opt out of the memorandum of understanding signed Oct. 29. The memorandum said the city would support efforts
by Wild Rose Entertainment to acquire a state license.
Wild Rose spokeswoman Jamie Buelt says the company still plans to pursue the license and build the casino.
NAACP Asks Branstad To Allow More Felon Voting
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Leaders of the NAACP are lobbying Gov. Terry Branstad to soften a policy that has made it difficult for thousands of Iowans convicted of crimes to get their voting rights
The Des Moines Register reports that NAACP President Benjamin Jealous and other officials from the group met Monday with Branstad.
NAACP officials say they focused much of the meeting trying to convince Branstad to change a cumbersome application process that has resulted in less than 20 felons getting their voting rights
back since January 2011.
Branstad's office has told applicants on the application form that they must pay all court costs and restitution before applying. But spokesman Tim Albrecht said Monday the office will allow anyone
who is current on restitution payments to seek their rights back.

I'd like to try Zimbra, but I'm concerned that it will interfere with other software I have running on the server. The server I have is running my web pages using Apache 2, MySQL and Postnuke. Will Zimbra mess this installation up? Does it require a server all to itself?
Why must I disable firewalls prior to install? My server is connected to the web and I don't want it runnng without firewalls even for a moment. Would it not be just as easy to tell me what ports Zimbra uses and let me open those and leave the others closed? How can I set up firewalls later if I don't know what ports it uses? I looked through the Admin Guide and the only port I saw specifically mentioned was 7071 for web administration although I assume it uses the standards for POP, IMAP and SMTP connections. I also assume, based on another forum post that 7777 needs to be open.

I have a ten inch stab on my Elite z28. It realy helps keep me steady on my 50 and 60 yard shots.
Negative. No stabilizer for me i feel my bow is just fine without. And it saves a lil weight when your packin all day
I shoot a Hoyt Trykon xl and have the smallest Limbsaver stabilizer on it. It doesn't really need it. The bows pretty well balanced in my hand, but, being primarily a midwest treestand hunter, I like it that the stabilizer shifts the center of gravity forward so the bow cants down slightly. Personal preference I suppose, and if I wasn't hunting out of a tree, it probably wouldn't be on my bow.
I did some experimenting with different weight on a stabilizer. More weight equals a steadier shot... to a certain point obviously. I shoot a 10 inch stab and it really helps with long distance shooting.

I'm trying to configure an account in Outlook using the Zimbra Collaboration Server connector and it fails to create the account saying:
"Your account could not be validated against the Zimbra server.
Unable to establish a secure connection to the server because the identity of the server could not be verified due to a problem with the server's certificate."
The problem is, the administrator is not going to fix the certificate. How can I force Outlook and the Zimbra connector to let me create the account anyways? I have tried installing the certificate in Windows even in the trusted root certification authority, but it still won't let me create this account...

Les bon temps roulez (the good times roll) in New Orleans
(Page 3 of 3)
After the ceremony, a brass marching band waited outside to lead us in a parade through the streets of the French Quarter. My niece headed the Second Line, as it is called; she held a white parasol and danced through the streets with her new husband. People came out of their apartments and hotel rooms, hanging over the wrought iron balconies, snapping photos of us as we moved along. The band played, the crowd cheered and my parents, who were riding in a pedi-cab, waved to the people like visiting royalty. For the parade, we wore Mardi Gras feathered masks, which lent a sense of mystery to the evening. There were, of course, the usual spontaneous performances by uninvited, scantily clad locals.
But, hey, it's New Orleans.
When we arrived back in New York, I completed my duties as officiant. I mailed the marriage license to the Office of Vital Records in the Parish of Orleans. It looked perfectly legit to me, but I keep imagining a guy in the parish office, sitting behind a screen like the Wizard of Oz.
It is, after all, New Orleans.

|4th-graders learn finances through piggy bank project
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
During the week of April 22-26, fourth-grade students at Holyoke Elementary School participated in a Piggy Bank Contest sponsored by CSU Extension in cooperation with First Pioneer National Bank of Holyoke.
Anytime is a great time to talk to children about money and how to manage it. However, with April being Financial Literacy Month and the week of April 22 being "Teach your Child to Save Week," what better time to team up with teachers to bring this important topic to light for students?
Fourth-grade teachers Nicole Churchwell and Tarah Kasdorf were gracious supporters, allowing CSU Extension and First Pioneer to partner with them to provide curriculum and incentives to 46 students throughout the week.
The contest began with the art teacher, Christina Martinez, lending her artistic hand in helping the students begin to decorate their pre-made piggy banks donated by CSU Extension. The students were challenged by First Pioneer National Bank to decorate their banks to follow the theme of "Happy 125th Birthday, Holyoke."
Fourth-grade winners of the Piggy Bank Contest are pictured, from left, with their prizes and their award-winning banks, front row, Erick Marroquin, Anthony Soriano and Ashley Rahe; and back row, Giselle Prieto, Faviola Jareth Gardea and Perla Olivas.
—Enterprise photo
With the banks looking colorfully festive, they were taken over to the high school for the melodrama, "Shawnee Lou, the Prairie's Purest Dressmaker," on Wednesday, April 24. Attendees of the play were supportive of the project and the students as they put spare change into the top three banks as they so chose.
The money in all of the banks was then tallied and totaled to determine the top three winners in each fourth-grade class. The money will go toward something for the fourth-grade class.
As students were decorating their banks, each day they also were working through a story about how, Pig E. Bank and his friends, Greg Hopper and Ann Tee, learned how to set goals, create a budget, find income and save money to achieve that goal.
The piggy bank primers students used came from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Mo. for free. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank provided informational booklets to parents in English and Spanish to help them start and support the conversation about money at home.
Tracy Roll of First Pioneer Bank talked to students about interest and saving money in a bank versus saving at home.She also invited students to participate in three upcoming contests sponsored by the bank to win more prizes.
Students were also asked to do a pre-assessment and post-assessment, including various terms and behaviors surrounding finance and money to see if behavior changes and learning had occurred.
All of the prize money was donated by First Pioneer National Bank. Student banks were put on display at the local bank to share with the community.
Third-place winners received a $5 prize; second-place winners, a $10 prize; and first-place winners, a $25 First Pioneer CD.
Ashley Rahe earned a first-place finish in the fourth-grade 4A class and Erick Marroquin took first place in the 4B class. The second-place winner for 4A was Giselle Prieto while Faviola Jareth Gardea took second in 4B. Anthony Soriano placed third in 4A and Perla Olivas finished in third in 4B.
All participants received a gold dollar coin. The fourth-grade class collected a total of $58.94 to put towards classroom fun or classroom materials from a voting process.

RE must know that there just isn't any scope for random electrical glitches on this generation of their products. The electrics just have to be rock solid on the UCE models.In general, are they?
I just went out to verify that the MIL light does not come on with the side stand down. Put down the side stand and turned on the run switch and the MIL light and the fuel pump came on and the bike started. If you move the side stand a little up from the down position then the switch works and neither the MIL light nor the fuel pump come on and the bike won't start. So yes there seems to be some problems with the electrical on these new bikes.
"LEGEND" eh? Is that CMW code for complainer/whiner?

Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State is playing its 107th season and the fourth under head coach Fred Hoiberg. Hoiberg has led the Cyclones to the NCAA Tournament the last two seasons and is seeking to become the second coach in school history to earn three berths in a row (Tim Floyd, 1995-97). Hoiberg is 62-39 overall at Iowa State.
- The Cyclones erased a slow start and a three-point halftime deficit to defeat Augustana, 90-68, last Sunday in its lone exhibition game. ISU shot 52.4 percent in the second half, outscoring the Vikings 54-29 and using a 21-0 run midway through the half to earn the win.
- Iowa State, which had four players in double figures in the game,was led by DeAndre Kane's 19 point-10 rebound double-double. Freshmen Matt Thomas (16) and Monté Morris (11) combined for 27 points and Georges Niang added 10 points, seven boards and six assists in the win.
- Iowa State is 86-20 in home season openers, having won its last 15 debuts at Hilton Coliseum. The last loss came on Nov. 23, 1997 when the Cyclones fell to Northern Iowa (54-48). The Cyclones are the last Big 12 team to open their season, with the nine other teams starting on Friday.
- Iowa State is playing without senior preseason All-Big 12 pick Melvin Ejim, who suffered a hyperextended left knee and bone bruise in practice on Oct. 30. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks and his 25-game consecutive start streak will come to an end against UNCW.
- The Cyclones could see seven players see their first regular season action Sunday, including four transfers (Kane, K.J. Bluford, Daniel Edozie, Dustin Hogue), a redshirt freshman (Sherron Dorsey-Walker) and two true freshmen (Morris, Thomas).
- Iowa State has won its last 13 nonconference home games. The last loss against a nonconference opponent at home came on Nov. 30, 2011 to UNI in Hoiberg's second season as head coach.
- ISU is playing just its second game against a school from the Colonial Athletic Association. The Cyclones beat William & Mary in 1979 in the only other meeting.
- Kane (93) and Niang (23) have made a combined 116 starts. Hogue, Thomas and Naz Long are expected to make their first career starts Sunday. It would be the first time since 2007-08 vs. Winston-Salem State that ISU started three players with no college starts in the season opener (Brackins, Haluska, Petersen).
Iowa State Exhibition Recap
- Iowa State beat Augustana 90-68 in its lone exhibition game this season last Sunday evening. The win improves the Cyclones to 46-4 in exhibition games since 1983-84.
- ISU struggled out of the gates in the game and Augustana came out hot, hitting five-of-its-first-six shots to open up a nine-point lead just two and a half minutes into the game.
- Monté Morris went the length of the court in 3.4 seconds and hit a floater as time expired to draw the Cyclones to within three (39-36) at the break.
- The Cyclones started much better in the second half, taking the lead back on a Georges Niang layup at the 18:41 mark. Holding a 53-48 edge with 14:36 left, ISU went on a 21-0 run over the next six minutes to break open the game.
- DeAndre Kane battled cramping and played just 20 minutes, but the senior transfer from Marshall finished with a team-high 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Cyclones. Kane, a 58.8 percent career free-throw shooter hit 7-of-9 from the charity stripe.
- Freshmen Matt Thomas (16) and Morris (11) combined for 27 points, including 17 in the second half.
- Georges Niang had 10 points, seven boards and six assists in 26 minutes of action.
- Niang and Naz Long led the team in minutes played (26).
- Iowa State didn't record its first assist of the game until just 3:46 remained in the first half. The Cyclones finished the game with 18 dimes. ISU had nine turnovers in the first half and just four in the second.
Series Notes vs. UNC Wilmington
- Iowa State and UNC Wilmington are meeting for the first time.
- Iowa State is 1-0 all-time against teams from the Colonial Athletic Association. A Fred Hoiberg coached team has never faced a team from the CAA.
- UNC Wilmington, which opens its season Friday at Iowa, went 10-20 overall last season and 5-13 in the CAA. The Seahawks have been picked to finish eighth in the league this season.
- The Seahawks' top returning scorer is guard Chris Dison (9.8 ppg). UNCW returns four starters from last year's team.
- In two career games against UNCW, DeAndre Kane averaged 17.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Both games were wins for Kane, who was playing for Marshall at the time.

The Crazies and Absorka/Beartooths both have good elk hunting. Just keep moving until you get on some.
Headed up to the crazys after my college orientation tomorrow to try and find some elk before archery season. Is this area worth checking out? Its the closest place I can seem to find decent elk hunting to Billings. I have a couple of spots ive been looking over on the map and google earth that look pretty good. Any thoughts?
The Crazies and Absorka/Beartooths both have good elk hunting. Just keep moving until you get on some.
I went up the boulder river drainage for 5 days last week and didnt see any sign of an elk, alot of private land and the trails i took into the wilderness area were void of any vegetation or sign. Ill try out the crazys this week and see if I cant turn anything up. Thanks bitterroot you have helped me with all of my questions relating to montana so far! its been a big help
Great area for goats. Was really void of elk/deer when I was there.
i have been hunting that area for two years now, and its been good for me... no kills yet but i have been getting into alot of elk.
" bigger they are the harder they fall "
ANyone have any idea on processors on the west side of the crazies?
Didnt see a single elk in the area I was in, just TONS of moo cows everywhere I went and a really nice bear. So I took bitterrootbulls advice and just kept moving until I found something and that led me to the little belts where I saw my first elk since ive been in montana. Ran into a few of them so I guess this could be a starting point. Just not as many or as much sign as I thought id be seeing here in montana compared to washington. Im putting the miles on my truck and boots and Im just not seeing what I think I should be.
Rileymasters do you access the crazies through the north west or south west side? Ive been told by alot of people theres alot of elk in the crazies but where I was at was void of any.
Jon Boy,
Don't give up on those Crazies yet. Look for an area that has dark timber, broken openings, and water within a mile. If you are seeing goats, you are too high. Try to get a little ways away from the grazing allotments.
Then again, there is very good hunting in the Little Belts as well.
Thanks for the encouragement. Im not given up on it yet the funds are just getting low for this college kid. ill keep at it and see what happens.

Junk, Especially for 78s
By BV-Disappointed.

Comments about 3-Speed USB Turntable/Vinyl Archiver w/Built-In Speakers - Rip Your Old Vinyl to MP3!:
The product has two major flaws.1. The "auto-stop" feature, which is listed as an advantage does not seem to take into account smaller 78 labels. It stops the playing long before the track is finished as it approaches the center of the disk. There seems to be no way to override this. Do NOT get this for 78 recording.2. The installation process includes no PC drivers. Therefore the USB connection is for power only. Sound must be recorded from your PC microphone over the built in turntable speakers. At best, this would be a cheap turntable to hook up to a stereo if you didn't care about sound quality. It's absolute junk.

Adobe is supporting, using, and contributing to Web standards, and ECMAScript is no exception. We're actively building applications and tools built on and for Web technology, and are becoming keenly aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Web technologies for development. That being said, Adobe is returning to the ECMA committee TC-39. During the week of March 11, Adobe's Bernd Mathiske and Avik Chaudhuri attended the technical committee meeting. (Our entire ECMAScript team includes language design, type theory, compiler, concurrency and VM experts).
Ultimately, Adobe's goal is to improve the Web experience for everyone. Making developers more productive is a key means to achieve this goal. One way we're hoping to help is by improving the consistency of ECMAScript across its various implementations. While we're aware that in practice, implementation differences come more from browser integration, we also plan to work with browser vendors to improve that consistency too. This will help us to develop better tools and make it easier for us to create our own Web applications.
On the JavaScript front, Adobe brings expertise from areas like ActionScript and Flash, Java, Lisp, OCaml, and other languages. We'll use this expertise to contribute to open-source platforms and we'll do demonstrations of ideas built on existing open-source technology. Eventually, we'd like to see some of this work make it into both open-source and proprietary implementations.
My personal favorite feature that hopefully will become part of ECMAScript 6 is modules. The approach under consideration is highly flexible, versatile, and quite easy to use. It will have a huge effect on making ECMAScript scale to much more complex systems.
Performance matters a lot to Adobe, and this might be an area of ECMAScript where we can also help. This is mostly an implementation issue, so we'll help on open-source implementations too. That also means ideas like asm.js and River Trail are compelling for us, and we're willing to help with standardization on those fronts too.
I hope this introduction to our ECMA TC-39 participation is helpful and encouraging to TC-39 and the community at large.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; email@example.com
For Immediate Release, July 13, 2000
Contact: Chris Marshall
Democratic members of the House Committee on Commerce, in an effort to stimulate attention and action by the U.S. House of Representatives, have introduced legislation (H.R. 4867) to reauthorize the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). H.R. 4867 is sponsored by Representative Lois Capps (D-CA) and the first co-sponsor is Commerce Committee ranking minority member Representative John Dingell (D-MI).
Unfortunately, despite the advocacy efforts of many national mental health associations, including NAMI, H.R. 4867 fails to even mention integrated treatment approaches for persons with co-occurring mental illness and addictive disorders. Amendments are needed to allow such integrated treatment. H.R. 4867 includes Senate passed minimum national standards for the use of restraints and seclusion. However, several serious unintended consequences of these restraint provisions have recently been predicted. Amendments are needed to prevent these negative consequences.
H.R. 4867 is a 117 page legislative bill which reauthorizes SAMHSA and proposes a variety of positive program initiatives. Unfortunately, the legislation fails to address NAMI's two major priorities - integrated treatment for persons with co-occurring mental illness and addictive disorders and meaningful program and financial accountability through the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG). And unintended consequences in the restraints provisions could do great harm. This E-News focuses on two NAMI legislative priorities - integrated treatment and restraints.
Members of the House Commerce Committee need to IMMEDIATELY hear your concerns. The roster of Commerce Committee members is listed at the end of this E-News.
Roughly 10-to-12 million Americans experience a co-occurring mental illness and addictive disorder. Frequently their clinical treatment fails, because only one disorder is treated, the two disorders are treated one at a time (known as sequential treatment), or the two disorders are treated at the same time but by two different agencies usually not communicating with each other and usually using different clinical philosophies (known as parallel treatment). Clinical failure frequently results in homelessness and involvement with the criminal justice system. Research, financed by the National Institute of Mental Health and National Institute of Drug Abuse, amassed over the last decade have clearly demonstrated that "integrated treatment," treatment directed simultaneously at the same program site, ideally using crossed-trained staff, is more effective than the failed sequential or parallel treatment. The recent Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health refers to integrated treatment as "combined" treatment. Further information and citations of this research are available from NAMI's "Where We Stand" paper on co-occurring disorders, posted on the NAMI web site (http://www.nami.org).
In December 1999, the Senate passed a SAMHSA reauthorization bill (S. 976). This bill failed to allow integrated treatment for persons with co-occurring disorders. The substance abuse providers and state agencies, supported by SAMHSA and the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, oppose federal legislation granting states the immediate ability, at their discretion, to finance integrated treatment programs.
In April 2000, six national mental health associations - Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, International Association of Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services, NAMI, National Association of County Behavioral Health Directors, National Council of Community Behavioral Health, and National Mental Health Association - approached key members of the House Commerce Committee asking for a modest package of amendments to the Senate passed SAMHSA bill to allow integrated treatment. Specifically, the mental health advocates proposed:
1. Allowing states, at their discretion, next year, to use up to 20% of their substance abuse and mental health block grants, to finance integrated treatment.
2. In allowing integrated treatment, SAMHSA shall ensure that federal reporting requirements do not unduly hinder the States in their ability to combine or commingle funds in order to provide an integrated program of services.
3. State annual plans for substance abuse, just like the state annual plans for mental health are required to do, must address the needs of persons with co-occurring disorders.
The sponsors of H.R. 4867 refused to adopt these modest provisions.
H.R. 4867 has three sections dealing with the treatment problems of persons with co-occurring mental illness and addictive disorders. These provisions would:
1. Create a new federal grant program to provide comprehensive treatment services to persons with co-occurring disorders. Such programs are to develop innovative models and validate and replicate evidence based practices.
2. Allow state substance abuse and mental health block grant funds to serve persons with co-occurring disorders "as long as funds available under such sections are used for the purposes for which they were authorized by law and can be tracked for accounting purposes." This means that every dollar of the mental health block grant must be spent for mental health services only. This means that every dollar of substance abuse block grant dollars must be spent for substance abuse services. This language, insisted on by SAMHSA, means that a state may not finance integrated treatment programs for persons with co-occurring disorders.
3. Require SAMHSA, after two years, to submit a report to Congress on promising and evidence-based practices for serving persons with co-occurring disorders. This requirement does not require SAMHSA to rely upon or coordinate with NIMH and NIDA research. This study puts off the issue for integrated treatment for years - 2 years for the study, then whatever years it will take Congress to propose legislation.
When the mental health advocates learned that Reps Capps, Dingell, and others were going to propose a new federal grant program for persons with co-occurring disorders, we recommended that the House language use the language proposed in the Senate mental health reform legislation (S. 2639), sponsored by Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Paul Wellstone (D-MN), and others. For information on S. 2639 refer to NAMI E-News, May 26, 2000, Vol.00-138 entitled "Senators Domenici and Kennedy Introduce Mental Health Early Intervention, Treatment and Prevention Act". S. 2639 specifically would authorize "grants for integrated treatment of serious mental illness and co-occurring substance abuse." Representatives Capps and Dingell refused to use the Domenici-Kennedy-Wellstone bill.
H.R. 4867 never mentions the phrase "integrated treatment."
The mental health advocates have now proposed two very modest additions to H.R. 4867:
1. Include the phrase "including, integrated treatment models" in the new federal grant authority, Section 506 (b) (2) (b) of H.R. 4867.
2. Include a flexibility provision in dealing with use of the substance abuse and mental health block grant for co-occurring disorders with the sentence, "The Secretary shall ensure that federal reporting requirements do not unduly hinder States in their ability to use combined funds from sections 1911 and 1921 for this purpose."
ACTION REQUESTED: Please write your members of the House Committee on Commerce, stress your disappointment that H.R. 4867 refuses to even mention "integrated" treatment and ask that the Section 506 grant authority expressly allow integrated treatment and that SAMHSA in administering its block grants does not unduly hinder states from using their funds for integrated treatment. All members of Congress can be reached by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or addresses and other contact information can be obtained by going to the policy page of the NAMI Web site at www.nami.org/policy.htm and click on "Write to Congress."
H.R. 4867 contains Senate passed legislation which would create a national patient protection to ensure the appropriate use of restraint and seclusion in psychiatric treatment programs. The Senate passed this legislation, sponsored by Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), twice - as part of the SAMHSA reauthorization legislation (S. 976) and as part of the Health and Human Services Appropriations legislation (H.R. 4577). Though far less comprehensive than NAMI's ideal public policy objectives, NAMI has supported the Dodd amendment as a modest good first step in creating a national standard. Recently, however, two unintended consequences of the Dodd provision have become known. These consequences could undermine the protections we are pursuing. To see NAMI's ideal public policy objectives as they relate to restraint and seclusion use, go to the NAMI web site (http://www.nami.org), go to the NAMI public policy platform, and examine section 7.8.
The Dodd provisions would declare that residents of psychiatric treatment programs are entitled to the right to be free from mental and physical abuse, corporal punishment, and any restraint and involuntary seclusion imposed for discipline or staff convenience. The amendment would require that restraint be imposed only on the written order of a physician. The Dodd amendment requires that all deaths associated with restraint or seclusion be reported to a governmental agency. [H.R. 4867 requires the reporting to the state Protection and Advocacy Agency while the Senate passed provision requires reporting to agencies designated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.] The legislation would also require adequate staffing and training of staff.
The unintended consequences have recently been identified by NAMI founding member Max Schneier, also a former member of the first SAMHSA national advisory panel and a former member of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) professional and technical advisory committee on behavioral health (PATC).
NAMI is now seeking two technical amendments, consistent with the Dodd amendment, to deflect these unintended consequences.
Section 591 (b) (1) specifies that restraints and seclusion are only allowed upon the written order of a physician or licensed independent practitioner.
1.This does not prohibit standing physician or licensed independent practitioner orders, which both HCFA and JCAHO currently prohibit. Standing orders are known as PRNs - pro re nata - meaning on a as needed basis.
Needed - a technical amendment which prohibits PRNs.
2. Concern is expressed that the physician or LIP order language, by itself, would negate additional protections currently required in both the HCFA and JCAHO standards, such as the face-to-face evaluation requirement.
Needed - a technical amendment which expressly allows these additional patient protections.
Nothing in this section prohibits the Secretary and the Health Care Financing Administration and their deemed status agent, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO), from requiring additional patient protections, such as face-to-face evaluations when restraints and seclusion are used.
ACTION REQUESTED: write your member of the House Commerce Committee, support enactment of the restraint protections contained in H.R. 4867, but insist that without technical amendments to avoid unintended consequences the restraint provisions could actually cause great harm. All members of Congress can be reached by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or addresses and other contact information can be obtained by going to the policy page of the NAMI Web site at http://www2.nami.org/policy.htm and click on "Write to Congress."

Has anyone drawn X9a or G39 and if so, how many points did you have?
Has anyone drawn X9a or G39 and if so, how many points did you have?
-NRA Life Member
650 tags for X9A last year, a whopping 5 tags in 2011 for G39. It took 8 points as a low in 2010 to pull a G39 tag but 2 points was the lowest for X9A according to last stats I saw on the CA F&G site.
Hope your able to pull the tag Muleys 24/7. I've never drawn or put in for either of the zones. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck in the draw in 2012.
Thanks for the info, I should get drawn for utah general deer this year so after I see utahs results, I'll know if I should put in for X9a......or maybe hold off till I rack a few more points up for G39.
-NRA Life Member
Keep in mind... unless you have max points, you are no different than a guy with zero points for tags like G39. All of the preference quota goes to max point holders only, and everyone else is left with the random quota. The CA draw system is pathetic.
Todd H
I agree that the CA points system is pathetic. Since CA doesn't offer enough tags on limited entry units vs the amount of applicants you are screwed if you are not in the max point pool and often times it is impossible or near impossible to make it to the max point pool since there are not enough tags to purge the system. If you're not in the max points pool its cross your fingers for a random draw tag. In my opinion they should offer a system that has a higher percentage of random tags allotted maybe like Utah or Nevada's system but also still reward people for consistently applying.
That's rite, you guys are 100% correct. I aways put what ever X zone first just to build points and maybe hit one of them on the random draw if I get lucky. If there's no luck I always end up with a local D zone. Califorina really needs to get their crap together, I wish they would just shut a few of the local zones down for a couple years. If they were to do that we'd have alot better odds for hunting a trophy, but that'll never happen cause they're all about the money.
-NRA Life Member
I don't think it's pathetic. It is very similar to Colorado. I really like the way Cali does it actually!! I think guys that have been putting in longer should get the tag, or a better chance anyways. I also like the 10% going to non max points. Can't help on your zone but all of the info you asked for is in the booklet.
ya theres ups and downs to Ca's draw system but i do agree with dr horsepower on the guys that have been putting in forever a good case my father he's been putting in for elk ever since he could and hasnt got drawn and i was lucky enough to draw a junior elk tag with only 4 points i guess its just the luck of the draw you know
I hunt archery in x9a religiously since I was a kid the general season is a little harder to draw I know last year 5 people with 0 points put in for it and 2 of them got drawn. I average every other year with archery in that zone


text: Was planning on trying to draw a muley tag in CO this year or hunt elk OTC if we didn't draw. But now we have decided to apply for antelope in WY 106 with 2 points. Might be able to pull these tags in the special draw. Also want to apply 2nd choice region E for mule deer and save our points. hunt 97 or 96 if we draw. About a 24 hr drive so trying to get 2 birds with one stone. I know this isn't a good year to apply for WY with the conditions but wont be looking for monsters just some decent bucks and a fun experience since this will be our first trip west. Plan on being there close to 2 weeks. I'm hoping we can fill 2 antelope tags in 3 or 4 days. We won't be too picky. Then spend the rest of the time trying to find a mule deer since I think this will be much more difficult. Any info or help would be much appreciated since a scouting trip is out of the question and this will be our first time out west. Thanks!

Toners and clarifiers are often-overlooked products in the skin care process. While cleansers eliminate dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin, toners and clarifiers take the process one step further, erasing the traces of dirt, oil, and makeup that cleansers might leave behind. In addition, toners and clarifiers offer additional benefits as well. Specifically, Paula's Choice Toners and Clarifiers work to balance the skin, eliminating excess oil so that the skin looks and feels healthier. Even more, these toners and clarifiers are infused with nourishing ingredients that benefit the skin.
Rather than stripping or drying out the skin, Paula's Choice Toners and Clarifiers enhance the skin's overall appearance, eliminating redness. In addition, these products even offer anti-aging benefits, allowing you to fight wrinkles and repair signs of skin damage as you tone and clarify.
Paula's Choice Toners and Clarifiers are highly effective products that fit well into a well-rounded skin care routine. To ensure the pores are unclogged and the skin is well balanced, these toners and clarifiers are essential. They can improve the skin care process, giving way to skin that is healthier and more beautiful. If your current skin care routine feels like something is lacking, try Paula's Choice Toners and Clarifiers.
Cleansing is the first—but not the only—step in the skin care process. By following cleansing with a refreshing toner, the skin's health and radiance can be maximized. Paula's Choice Toners and Clarifiers are the perfect addition to the post-cleansing skin care routine, creating skin that is beautiful, healthy, and perhaps even younger looking.
Paula's Choice Resist Advanced Replenishing Toner instantly calms your skin with its ultra-soothing texture. This toner is infused with a number of anti-aging ingredients, which work to repair sun damage and enhance skin's radiance. At the same time, this toner can reinforce the skin's barrier, making it healthier and better balanced. Thanks to its anti-aging ingredients, this Replenishing Toner minimizes wrinkles, boosts skin tone, and reduces redness. This colorant- and fragrance-free formula works well for all skin types. Following the cleansing routine, this toner can be applied—and not rinsed—for a burst of protection and radiance for the skin.

Panhandle Meeting On Multi-State Lesser Prairie Chicken Plan Reset
Due to Weather, Feb. 25 Meeting in Morton moved to March 4
LUBBOCK – As an update to an earlier news announcement, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is postponing a meeting that had been set for tonight in Morton, Texas to Monday, March 4, because of snow and high winds.
The meeting purpose is to discuss the draft range wide conservation plan for the lesser prairie chicken. The plan represents a multi-state effort to conserve the bird and its habitat, and to address its proposed listing as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to publish a final rule on the status of the chicken in September.
The rescheduled Morton meeting will be held at 6 p.m., Monday, March 4 in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Service Center at 200 West Taylor Avenue. A similar meeting in Austin involves a diverse set of invited stakeholders, though it is open to any interested parties. The Austin meeting take places at 2 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 28 at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department headquarters, 4200 Smith School Road.
At the meetings, Texas Parks and Wildlife biologists will discuss the plan and answer questions about how it might be implemented in the Southern High Plains region of the state.
The draft plan can be viewed on the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies website.
Comments about the draft plan may be submitted via email to Jan Caufield of the Ecological Management and Research Institute at email@example.com. The deadline to submit comments is March 8.

Railroad shipping: Proposed Positive Train Control changes could be good news for carriers
August 24, 2011
Proposed changes to regulations made by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) regarding Positive Train Control (PTC) may spell good news for Class I railroads.
The objective of PTC systems is to prevent train-to-train collisions, overspeed derailments, and incursions into roadway work limits. PTC sends and receives a continuous stream of data transmitted by wireless signals about the location, speed, and direction of trains, according to the FRA. PTC systems, added the FRA, utilize advanced technologies including digital radio links, global positioning systems and wayside computer control systems that aid dispatchers and train crews in safely managing train movements.
A mandate for PTC systems was included in House and Senate legislation-H.R. 2095/S. 1889, The Rail Safety and Improvement Act of 2008. The legislation was passed shortly after a September 12, 2008 collision between a freight train and a commuter train in Los Angeles. And it calls for passenger and certain hazmat rail lines to take effect by 2015 and authorizes $250 million in Federal grants.
The proposed changes, according to Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, would provide greater flexibility to railroads and the FRA in assessing the need for PTC without adversely affecting the safety of America's rail lines.
FRA officials said these proposed changes would help affected railroads to realize an estimated cost savings of $340 million in the first several years, with total savings of up to $1 billion over a 20 year period by not installing PTC systems on as much as 14,000 miles of track. The FRA added that railroad lines impacted by this proposal have significantly less accident exposure, because they do not carry passenger trains of poison inhalation hazard materials.
"We believe that the proposal provides a balance of safety regulation and cost to the industry," said FRA Administrator Joseph C. Szabo in a statement. "We look forward to working together with the railroads as they concentrate on areas where positive train control is much-needed."
PTC has been commonly referred to as the "unfunded mandate" in railroad circles. A major concern of freight railroads has been that PTC rules finalized in January 2010 required PTC on sections of tracking where the cost is not justified, according to a March Wall Street Journal report. The report said that the law requires PTC technology on track carrying passengers or highly toxic chemicals, and freight railroads maintain that without changes they will be required to install PTC for thousands of miles of track that will not be carrying toxic chemicals by 2015.
Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood wrote in his "Fast Lane" blog in June that PTC is an example of how its costs could be reduced and still maintain its effectiveness.
"FRA has examined this rule and decided that revisions could be proposed that would significantly reduce industry burdens without adversely affecting rail safety," wrote LaHood. "We expect savings on PTC installation alone to total between $225 million and $400 million. Over 20 years, installation and maintenance savings should total between $440 million and $1.04 billion."
In a statement issued by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) in March, AAR President and CEO Edward Hamberger said that the AAR has been working with the FRA on its review of various rules, including implementation of positive train control (PTC) technologies as mandated by the 2008 Rail Safety Improvement Act.
He added that in March 2010, the AAR on behalf of its member railroads filed suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit seeking to change certain aspects of the PTC regulations. And on March 2, 2011 the parties asked the court to put the suit on hold while FRA agreed to undertake a review of its final rule. The D.C. Circuit granted the motion.
"A major issue is the scope of the PTC mandate," said Hamberger on an AAR media conference call earlier this year. "For example, while Congress clearly stipulated that PTC be installed on main lines used to transport passengers and TIH as of Dec. 31, 2015, FRA required PTC to be installed on lines used to transport passengers and TIH in 2008. This seven year difference in implementation dates substantially affects the cost – according to AAR estimates by more than $500 million. AAR also estimates that at least 10,000 miles of track that saw TIH movements in 2008 would no longer be used for such movements by Dec. 31, 2015."

Vaenuku became the Utes' 29th commitment for their 2013 class.
Vaenuku, who reportedly held over 40 offers from programs across the nation, chose Utah over a final list of TCU, Missouri, Texas Tech and BYU.
"It is a great program, great family and I have friends going there also," Vaenuku explained. "We can bring (Euless) Trinity up to Utah."
Currently ranked as the No. 106 defensive end prospect in the country, Vaenuku will likley make the move to defensive tackle with his 6-foot-5, 280-pound frame.
Vaenuku told FOX 4 News that he decided on Utah for a number of reasons. But most importantly it was his heart that told him the right spot.
Ironically, that calling may have come while he was visiting his number two school -- TCU, when Freshman OL Halapoulivaati Vaitai advised him to "listen to his heart".

Rafael Nadal is back in training after a knee injury cut his 2008 season short.
The world's top baller discussed his super busy schedule, including resuming practice, via his website today:
Just wanted to let all my English speaking fans that I have resumed practice a couple of weeks ago and things are going well.Phew! What a relief. The Mallorcan Matador and his pal Iker Casillas have also released Part One of their promo series for next Tuesday's "Friends of Iker vs. Friends of Rafa" Part Deux event to fight malaria.
Friday Dec. 12th I am having the year end dinner, Christmas dinner, with my team. They will all come to Manacor and we will celebrate this great 08.
On Monday morning I will practice and then fly in the late afternoon to Madrid since there is a dinner offered by MARCA with the King of Spain and some other sportsman. This is to close the festivities of 70th anniversary of the newspaper.
On Tuesday we are doing the match against Malaria and hopefully the stadium will be full. We are very excited about this again.
Thanks to all.
Geez, he even does preppy well. Anyway, don't forget RAFANATICS: you can still help your boy (and his shorty-shorts) try to get this important event broadcast stateside by contacting the Tennis Channel. Hurry!

Whistling Past the Gun Lobby
Almost five years ago Thomas Schaller published an important book titled Whistling Past Dixie, which basically argued that it was time for Democrats to stop running scared of the views of Southern whites they werent going to get those votes anyway, and demographic change had proceeded to the point where they could win national elections without the South. Indeed, so it has come to pass: while Obama did win Virginia, he did it by appealing to the new Virginia of the DC suburbs, not the rural whites, and otherwise he had a totally non-Dixie victory.
So Nate Cohn argues that this same logic applies to gun control: the voters who care passionately about their semi-automatic weapons are rural whites who aint gonna vote Democratic in any case and the new Democratic coalition doesnt need them. David Atkins takes it further, saying the awful truth: the pro-gun fanatics are basically the kind of people who think that Obama is a Kenyan socialist atheistic Islamist, and the urban hordes are coming for their property any day now. People, in other words, who already vote 100 percent Republican and lose elections.
As Cohn says, its not clear whether Democrats realize how things have changed. But maybe yesterdays horror will provoke some fresh thought, and theyll realize that this does not have to go on

text: I started to use zimbra desktop on the pc's in a school. The teachers have been using the web interface but we thought it would be better to use an app just for zimbra. All computers are xp pro corp edition and all belong to a domain that they log into. Install has gone fine for a few of the users but I ran into 2 different machines where the install goes as expected, I can create an account but it never launches the desktop. The startup screen will just stay on the desktop forever if I let it. I stop and restart the service with no luck. I tried to reinstall twice with no luck. Now the teachers are leary about letting us install it anywhere else if it wont even start up. Any ideas where to look?

We ran an Exchange 2010 environment until recently. The Exchange server crashed and the Outlook 2010 software installed on agent machines in the office are now unable to connect to the server (obviously). I've been tasked with configuring the Zimbra Connector for Outlook so that users can continue to use Outlook with their old data.
What I am encountering is that I can't get past the third step of the install, the MAPI logon. When choosing the MAPI logon I'm hitting a brick wall... When I point to my default outlook profile, I get the following error:
"Your mailbox has been temporarily moved on Microsoft Exchange server. A temporary mailbox exists, but might not have all your previous data. You can connect to the temporary mailbox or work offline with all of your old data....(etc...)
x. If I select Use Temporary, an error comes up that says "The server is unavailable" its only options are retry,work offline, and cancel.
x. If I select Use Old Data, it puts me into offline mode and I cannot ever get 'online'
- Note: I set up an IMAP account in outlook by loading that bit of software into offline mode but it can not sync mail because Outlook is stuck offline
-Note: I set up a new mail account using the control panel>users>mail and set it as my default but the ZCS connector recognized the fact it is not an Exchange/Outlook account.
If I select work offline, the Connector to Outlook gives an error: "Could not open the default message store."
Is there any way to get past this? Personally, I've already installed the zimbra desktop software but this is not a viable solution in the eyes of my higher-ups.
Let me know what type of info I can provide to make this any easier; I tried my hand at google-fu believe me! I'm looking forward to hearing some words of wisdom.

I haven't owned any new big name bikes in recent years. Does anyone know their policy regarding situations such as this? I except a loner if my new car goes in for long term warranty work but guess it would never enter my mind with a bike. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Recently Mr. Kevin Mahoney called to inform me that my UCE G5 Efi has been recalled . The clearance in transmission is less than it should be and it can cause problems at high speeds. He said that RE is making parts that will take 2 weeks or so, then it will be shipped, and then my bike will be fixed. I asked him to supply me another bike while mine gets fixed - he said he will try but cannot promise. It was nice of him to call me personally but not being able to ride for the next 4 weeks or so is pretty upsetting. I understand that recalls happen in small or big companies of all kinds of industries and this is one of them. What happens WHILE the necessary changes are made is crucial for the buyer. Those who spent money and bought the product did so because we like it and want it to succeed - so why not get it right and get things fixed now before it is too late and save a lot of headache later. I sincerely hope that Mr. Mahoney's 'cannot promise' turns into a 'yes, I will get you one' that will definitely put a positive spin on my experience. Just as JamesC5 of UK got a bike to ride while his new C5 was getting fixed, why not provide a bike to US customers when ours are getting repaired ? This recall can be turned into a positive experience for buyers if properly backed by the dealers and CMW.
I doubt you would get a loaner from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha or Kawasaki on a recall notice.You would only get a loaner on a car from the high end dealers like BMW, Mercedes, etc. or if you had a long term relationship with your Chevy/Ford/Dodge dealer.Don't get me wrong, I love my RE but we did not pay a BMW type premium price for them and to expect those perks without paying the "price" maybe unrealistic.
Might just be my dealer, but when I ordered my Honda Fit last June, I got a free loaner until it arrived at the dealership. And when I had to have warranty work done on the Fit, I got another free loaner during that time. I think it depends less on the brand and more on the dealer (and I'd never dealt with this dealership before). Some mechanics around here will give you a loaner while they work on your car, some will charge for it, some don't do it at all. Kind of a crapshoot.
My $20K ElectraGlide spent 9 weeks in the dealer it's first year and I never got a complimentary cup of coffee much less a loaner out of the deal.They never even called me to tell me it was done.From what I understand this recall only affects 5 bikes in the US. Harley wouldn't even send out a postcard for that. They would just wait until someone got killed on it and hand it over to their legal team. Done deal.With a personal phone call from the importer your way ahead of the game as compared to HD.CJ
I agree SinghgEven if a dealer / manufacturer does not HAVE to provide extras in service, loaners, coffee, talking to you etc, it is essential for getting and keeping my business. If RE wants to expand it's business as much as they say they do, then they'll need to step up and not only provide a quality bike mechanically but be able to give top notch service to it's customers. It's not hard, I doubt any of us expect a red carpet or anything, but just having someone friendly to talk to, especially in regards to warranty / recalls etc. Provide loaners through the dealers etc. Harley may have enough customer base and brand power to treat customers poorly, but I don't think RE does, that would be a ticket to failure.I don't think RE:USA has failed anyone yet that I've read. Kevin and co seem passionate and ready to help people, so that's a good sign.
And NOW - Introducing the NEW Royal Enfield for $25K!! ...... with free coffee.
