The goal posts were flapping around in the wind. First time I recall seeing them as a moving target.
touchdown Iowa? WTF
The announcers were sure polishing up the hawks average center.
Dang that was a quick first quarter. Obviously due to both teams combining for 2 passing plays.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of young adults in the U.S. lacking medical coverage has shrunk by 2.5 million since the new health care overhaul law took effect, according to a new analysis the Obama administration is to release Wednesday.
That drop is 2 ½ times as large as the one indicated by previous government and private estimates from earlier this year, which showed about 1 million Americans ages 19-25 had gained coverage.
Under the health overhaul, children can remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they turn 26, and families have flocked to sign up young adults making the transition to work in a challenging economic environment. But the fate of President Barack Obama's signature domestic accomplishment remains uncertain, with the Supreme Court scheduled to hear a constitutional challenge next year, and Republican presidential candidates vowing to repeal it.
"The increase in coverage among 19- to 25-year-olds can be directly attributed to the Affordable Care Act's new dependent coverage provision," said a draft report from the Health and Human Services Department. "Initial gains from this policy have continued to grow as ... students graduate from high school and college." A copy of the report was obtained by The Associated Press.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is scheduled to release the findings Wednesday.
The health care law's main push to cover the uninsured doesn't come until 2014. But the young adults' provision took effect last fall. Most workplace health plans started carrying it out Jan. 1.
Traditionally, young adults were more likely to be uninsured than any other age group.
Some are making the switch from school to work. Others are holding down low-wage jobs that don't usually come with health care. And some - termed the "invincibles" - pass up job-based health insurance because they don't think they'll use it and would rather get extra money in their paychecks.
Using unpublished quarterly statistics from the government's ongoing National Health Interview Survey, analysts in Sebelius' policy office determined that nearly 36 percent of those age 19-25 were uninsured in the third calendar quarter of 2010, before the law's provision took effect.
That translates to more than 10.5 million people.
By the second calendar quarter of 2011, the proportion of uninsured young adults had dropped to a little over 27 percent, or about 8 million people.
The difference - nearly 2.5 million getting coverage - can only be the result of the health care law, administration officials said, because the number covered by public programs like Medicaid went down slightly.
Overall, nearly 30 million Americans are between the ages of 19 to 25. For those who are little older, ages 26-35, the uninsured rate went up during the same period.
Associated Press
HHS Office released the following statement today:
Today, the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released data illustrating that the Affordable Care Act continues to significantly increase the number of young adults who have health insurance.
Because of the health care law, young adults can stay on their parents' insurance plans through age 26. This policy took effect in September 2010. Data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) shows that since September 2010, the percentage of adults aged 19-25 covered by a private health insurance plan increased significantly, with approximately 2.5 million more young adults with insurance coverage compared to the number of young adults who would have been insured without the law.
"Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 2.5 million more young adults don't have to live with the fear and uncertainty of going without health insurance," said Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "Moms and dads around the country can breathe a little easier knowing their children are covered."
Families around the country are benefitting from this part of the law, including families like the Houghs, whose daughter Natalie was diagnosed with a rare heart condition after suffering a cardiac arrest at school. Her condition requires a lifetime of medication and care. There was a day when this diagnosis would mean insurance companies would either not cover Natalie or would offer her unaffordable plans. It would mean that Natalie and her family would have to keep paying, or face the unimaginable alternative.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Natalie can stay on her family's plan and has started college, and thanks to the law, by the time she turns 26, it will be illegal for a plan to deny coverage to anyone, regardless of their health and Natalie will have access to quality, affordable care.
Data from the first three months of 2011 showed that one million more young adults had insurance coverage compared to a year ago. The numbers announced today show a continuation of the coverage gains due to the health care law as students graduate from high school and college in May and June and otherwise would have lost coverage.
The data released today are consistent with estimates from surveys released earlier in the year. Those surveys have shown an increase in the number and percentage of young adults 19 to 25 with health insurance coverage. Specifically, the Census Bureau and the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index Survey, as well as the NHIS release of data through March 2011, reported similar trends through early 2011.
Today's results, highlighted in an HHS issue brief, show that the initial gains from the health care law have continued to grow.
"The data announced today show that, because of the health care law, there is a continued and consistent pattern of improved health coverage among young adults," said Sherry Glied, Ph.D., HHS assistant secretary for planning and evaluation. "The Affordable Care Act has helped literally millions of young adults get the health insurance they need so they can begin their careers with the peace of mind that they're covered."

The Citizens Property Insurance Board of Governors is trying to reduce its risk by forcing out some of its 1.4 million customers. One plan is to pay private insurance companies more than 300 million dollars to take over Citizens' riskiest policies.
Florida's future House Speaker is asking the board to leave depopulation decisions up to the legislature.
Governor Rick Scott was asked who should make those decisions. He dodged the question. "My focus is to make sure citizens know that if they are buying Citizens what their risk of assessment is and to make sure Citizens is in a position that there is a major disaster they can write the check."
Last week, the Office of Insurance Regulation approved a 10% rate hike for most Citizens policies. Tuesday, OIR approved a 4% increase for Citizen's mobile home customers.

I have made maps in the past then I got out of gaming for a bit. I last used it right before GenCon last year and had a few problems so this year I am starting early. I'm having some issues that I am sure are easy to fix, but I can't seem to find the settings. This could just be me being stupid but I'm stuck.
I am making a map for a Battletech scenario for use at GenCon.
- I need a custom size of 50x50 inches. I change the setting under file/page set up to 'custom 50x50 inches'. The map still displays in 8.5x11. I thought this would make the whole thing bigger.
- I need 1.25 inch hexes. The setting here seems to have vanished.
I am sure a few more things will pop up.

HIV Prevention Among Substance Abusing SMI
CMHPSR participants: Michael Blank, Ph.D., Phyllis Solomon Ph.D., Julie Tennille, MSW, LSW
Dates: 2003-2008
Funding Source: NIDA RO1
Preventing AIDS Through Health (PATH) is a translation of two HIV prevention programs proven effective in the general population and among substance users. The RESPECT program was developed by CDC and is the first HIV prevention program to show one-on-one counseling can reduce at-risk sexual behavior in a multi-site demonstration. The NIDA Community-Based Outreach Model (CBOM) was designed to reduce the risk of HIV and other blood-borne infections in drug users. Both are highly structured, manualized interventions. PATH uses mental health case managers (CM's) from Hall-Mercer Mental Health Center to draw on features of both interventions depending on individual consumer risk profiles. These CM's have specialized expertise in providing services to this population. We believe that this expertise, prior relationships with these persons, and an ability to regularly reinforce the intervention will result in significantly reduced risk. There are two sets of research participants, the persons with SMI as well as case managers themselves. Informed consent will be obtained from both sets of participants. Blood testing will identify those who are HIV positive at baseline. Breathalyzer and urine testing will supplement clinical interviews and other measures to identify substance abuse co-morbidity. Using a longitudinal experimental and control group design, we will randomly assign case managers to deliver the intervention to consenting participants in their caseloads who meet inclusion criteria. Participants will be in treatment at a large CMHC in Philadelphia. Independent interviews will be conducted with case managers and consumers before the intervention, and again at 3, 6 and 12-months post intervention and focus on changes in risk behaviors, fidelity of translation of the intervention, cost and outcomes. Breathalyzer and urine tests at 12-months will supplement self-reports of use of alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, benzodiazapines, and opiates. The study has enrolled over 275 study participants to date. The research team is concluding a qualitative analysis and finishing subject interviews before beginning the analysis phase of the study.
Nursing Intervention for HIV Regimen Adherence Among SMI
CMHPSR/Penn participants: Michael Blank, Ph.D., Aileen Rothbard, Ph.D., Linda Aiken Ph.D. Robert Gross, MD, Janet Hines, MD, James Coyne PhD, Tom TenHave, Ph.D, Julie Tennille, MSW, LSW
Dates: 2003-2008
Funding Source: NINR RO1
Involvement of advance practice nurses (APN's) has been previously shown to improve outcomes for persons with HIV/AIDS. Since case managers (CM's) are already involved with coordinating mental health, social, and other services for this population and have specialized expertise in providing those services, we believe that an integrated services model that integrates nursing and case management will result in demonstrably better HIV treatment outcomes using CD4 and viral load as indicators, and significantly reduced risk behaviors using standardized behavioral self-reports. Participants have been recruited from among those already in treatment for SMI in Philadelphia. Using a longitudinal (baseline, 6,12, and 24 months) experimental and control group design, we randomly assigned over 260 participants to the intervention or control groups. Participants were screened for active substance abuse and depression, randomized, and experimental participants received an integrated intervention tailored to their communication and comprehension levels which included memory aid devices, education regarding side effects and other treatment aspects, and active community outreach. For those who failed to adhere using the basic intervention, a treatment cascade that increases in intensity was implemented. Using 80% adherence as a target, the cascade included involvement of family and significant others in prompting participants through use of beepers, cell phones, and for those who still fell short of 80% adherence, directly observed therapy. They were randomized into experimental and control groups. Each participant was followed for 24 months. Experimental subjects received the intervention for 12 months, followed by a 12 month period during which decay of the intervention was observed. Control subjects were also observed for 24 months. Over 260 study participants have been enrolled to date. The research team is beginning report writing and analysis.
Multi-Site Rapid HIV Testing in Urban Community Mental Health Settings

Funding Source: CDC under program announcement PS-07-005
This protocol outlines plans to implement a multi-site program designed to increase HIV testing and improve linkage to care for persons diagnosed with HIV in urban mental health settings serving African American communities. The project will take place in Philadelphia, PA and Baltimore, MD through a CDC collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Maryland. In each city, the project will be implemented in three types of settings: community mental health centers (CMHCs), university-based inpatient psychiatric units, and mobile assertive community treatment (ACT) programs. In each of the settings, clients will be offered HIV testing and a brief survey to assess HIV risk behaviors, psychiatric symptoms, and HIV testing history. Abstraction of data from client medical records will provide additional information on diagnoses and recent clinical course. No subjects have been enrolled to date.

Philadelphia Homeless Diversion Project
CMHPSR/Penn participants: Dennis Culhane, PhD, Steve Poulin, PhD
Dates: 2007-2008
Funding Source: Neighborhood Transformation Initiative tax-exempt bond proceeds that will be administered by AS/OSH
This Project will 1) assess the benefits and cost efficiency of providing short shelter stays followed by subsidized housing and move-in assistance as an alternative to the provision of shelter only to homeless families, and 2) explore the circumstances of homeless families whose head of household applied for shelter but was able to make his or her own living arrangements (MOA). CMHPSR staff will identify the factors associated with MOA families requesting shelter again, and comparing the stability and well-being of the experimental and control group high risk families. One-half of the 150 high risk families will be randomly assigned to an experimental group that is placed into subsidized housing and the other half will be assigned to a control group that receives normal shelter services. The families in the experimental group will receive housing assistance from an -contracted non-profit organization that includes placement into an affordable and appropriate subsidized housing unit soon after shelter admission.

The Cost of Chronic Homelessness 2000-2002
City of Philadelphia Contact Person: Dr. Marcella Maguire
CMHPSR Contact: Steve Poulin, 215 615-0399
Dates: Current
Funding Source:
Using data available from the Office of Supportive Housing, winter shelter programs, and street outreach programs, Dr. Marcella Maguire of the Department of Behavioral Health compiled a list of persons who were chronically homeless (i.e. continually homeless for more than one year or had been homeless more than three times) between 2000 and 2002. These persons were matched to mental health and substance abuse services utilization data to estimate the cost of chronic homelessness. The costs are being compared among persons who had been street homeless only, sheltered homeless only, or had been on both the street and in shelter. Jail data is being obtained for matching with this population.

The Philadelphia Consortium on Psychiatric Disparities: Reducing Disparity for Severely Mentally Ill African Americans
Participants: Trevor Hadley, Ph.D. (PI), Aileen Rothbard, Sc.D. (Co-PI), Mark Salzer, Ph.D., Cynthia Zubritsky, Ph.D., Eri Kuno, Ph.D., Szabi-Zee, Ph.D., Frank Worts, MSW, Virginia Smith, Ph.D.
Dates: terminating March 2007
Funding Source: Pa Department of Health
This project, commonly known as the Health Disparities Project, is a four-year research initiative at four participating agencies with four main components related to reducing psychiatric disparities in mental health treatment. The Philadelphia Consortium on Psychiatric Disparities (PCPD) is conceived as building long-term collaborative relationships among these six entities to assist agencies in optimally meeting the needs of their clients. The intent is for members of the PCPD to continue to collaborate on mutually beneficial projects in the future that will ultimately improve the health and well-being of the populations served by these agencies. Data from the research projects are currently being analyzed. They will examine the impact of electronic prescribing and a self care intervention on quality of care and reduction of racial disparities. CBH/Medicaid data will be used to see if there are prescribing differences between the agencies that are in the consortium and those in the rest of the city. Philadelphia pharmacy claims from DPW will be examined.
Healthcare Use for Children in Homeless Families
Trevor Hadley, PhD, Dennis Culhane, PhD, David Mandell, ScD
Dates: 2008-2009
Funding Source: National Institutes of Health
This study will examine 1) whether children's health service use changes before, during and after their initial homeless episode and 2) whether children who become homeless differ from other low-income housed children in their healthcare use before their first homeless episode, afterwards, and whether there are differences in the change in use around the homeless episode relative to housed children. This study aims to improve healthcare and coordination of care among children in homeless families, which will lead to improving health outcomes in this vulnerable population.

Understanding the Delay in the Diagnosis of Autism
PI: David Mandell, ScD
The purpose of this study is to quantitatively and qualitatively determine factors associated with delayed diagnosis among children with autism. A state survey was administered to over 1000 caregivers in Pennsylvania. Information available from these sources were used to identify factors associated with the age at which children with autism are diagnosed and enter treatment. The data collected was presented at a conference to discuss intervention services. In the next phase, information from families will be collected using semi-structured interviews. Families will be asked to describe their experiences related to their children's autism, what precipitated their concerns, and experiences related to getting screened, diagnosed and treated. Both quantitative and qualitative data will be collected from families who will be followed from the time their child is diagnosed for 6-12 months. Data will be gathered on stress, sources of support, and their decisions about whether and how to engage in treatment. The results from this study may inform our understanding of factors affecting the early and appropriate diagnosis of other psychiatric and developmental disorders of childhood, leading to the development of broader interventions to expedite appropriate diagnosis.
Interstate variation in healthcare utilization among children with ASD
PI: David Mandell, ScD
04/01/07 - 03/31/12
This R01 application requests support to conduct a large national study that will comprehensively identify the impact of state policies on the healthcare service utilization of families of children with autism spectrum disorders. Recent studies have reported an increase in the number of children with autism and it has been suggested that medical expenditures related to autism will rise accordingly. The purpose of the present study was twofold: first, to estimate Medicaid expenditures associated with a diagnosis of autism for a sample of children 0 through 21 years of age (n = 298) in a large, metropolitan county of Pennsylvania over the years 1994 to 1999; and, second, to compare these expenditures to those of other similarly aged Medicaid-eligible children without autism from the same county during the same time period. Results from this study suggest that children diagnosed with autism had Medicaid reimbursed expenditures that were approximately 10 times greater than those of other Medicaid-eligible children. Although average annual expenditures for the two groups remained relatively similar in areas such as ambulatory physical care and emergency physical care, average annual expenditures varied markedly in other areas such as inpatient physical health care. Major cost differences were observed in outpatient mental health care, as expenditures for children with autism decreased over the six-year period from $4,100 (1994) to $2,632 (1999), yet increased for other children, $58 (1994) to $114 (1999). Average inpatient mental health expenditures over the same time period followed a less discernable pattern. While the number of children with autism served each year in the Medicaid system remained relatively stable during this time period, per person expenditures actually decreased somewhat, phenomena that were believed attributable to decreases in average outpatient and inpatient mental health expenditures.
Center of Excellence for the Epidemiology of Autism
PI: Ellen Giarelli
Role: Investigator
This multi-site project is designed to estimate the prevalence of autism, and enroll participants into case control studies to determine the etiology of this disorder. Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are defined by unusual and pervasive developmental problems in social interaction, communication, imagination and range of interests or behaviors. Both the epidemiology and etiology of these serious developmental disorders are poorly understood. Estimates of population prevalence vary widely within the U.S. and abroad. Two primary factors contributing to this wide variation in prevalence estimates are 1) differences in case finding and ascertainment methods, and 2) lack of standardization in evaluating diagnostic criteria for ASDs. A more precise estimate of the public health impact of ASDs would serve to inform appropriate and well-coordinated responses by planners at the local and national level. The objective of this study is to describe a multiple-source surveillance methodology being implemented by investigators in the 18-state ADDM CADDRE Network for the purpose of determining population prevalence and characteristics of ASDs and other developmental disabilities. The ADDM CADDRE Network is implementing active ASD surveillance that does not rely on professional or family reporting of children's recorded ASD classification and/or diagnosis. Rather, children's files are abstracted at multiple clinical and educational sources and systematically reviewed by an independent team of clinicians in order to determine case status. These results present the Network's methodology for identifying suspected cases, abstracting source records, and determining case status. Selected process evaluation data are also presented. Coordinated public health surveillance of ASDs provides an ongoing source of high-quality data to examine the magnitude and characteristics of ASDs in the population. This activity will inform appropriate responses to community and political concerns, promote planning for health and educational services, and generate descriptive data that can foster continued research on ASDs.
PA Autism Taskforce Projects
Estimating of the number of people with autism served by Pennsylvania
Currently, there is no comprehensive list individuals with autism served in Pennsylvania or the public agencies through which they receive care. Understanding how and from whom people with autism receive care has important implications for policy development, service planning and resource allocation. Under the direction of the Department of Public Welfare, we are coordinating the efforts of state level agencies including the Office of Medical Assistance Programs, the Office of Mental Retardation, Office of Child Development and the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and county level agencies such as MH/MR Programs and County Assistance Offices to determine an estimate of the number of individuals affected by autism in Pennsylvania. David Mandell, ScD was the Co-Chair for the Pennsylvania Autism Taskforce in 2004, and serves as a consultant for this project.

An Analysis of the Mental Health Resource Capacity in Pennsylvania
Aileen Rothbard, ScD
Funding Source: Pennsylvania DPW OMHSAS
Time Frame: 2006-2008
As a result of the downsizing and closure of state psychiatric hospitals, there are concerns that adequate resources exist to ensure the safe transition and recovery of individuals in the community. Additionally, questions are raised as to whether there are sufficient resources available for individuals who were not formerly in institutional settings but may require community based care. The purpose of this study is to examine mental health treatment capacity in Pennsylvania counties that have closed or reduced the number of state hospital beds. A longitudinal descriptive analysis of mental health resource capacity by county will be done beginning in 1990 showing the number of state hospital, acute and sub-acute community hospital beds; community residential rehabilitation beds, supported housing, personal care boarding home beds; and per capita mental health expenditures from public sources such as Medicaid and state block grant funds. An analytic model will also be developed explaining total mental health resource capacity as a function of changes in the previous factors.
Cost Analysis of Persons with SMI and HIV/AIDS
Aileen Rothbard, Michael Blank
Funding Source: NIDA grant
Time Frame: 2006-2008
This study examines the cost of HIV/SMI care for Medicaid clients in Philadelphia in 2003 and is a follow-up to a 1996 study showing changes in cost and utilization patterns. PA Medicaid data files on mental health, physical health and pharmacy as well as well as county data are used to ascertain costs in Philadelphia. Data from 2003 is being used as a comparison with 1996 to look at the extent of care that persons with SMI and HIV receive with the introduction of HAART.
Simulation Model for Residential Bed Capacity Planning
Eri Kuno, Ph.D., Aileen Rothbard, Sc.D. Cynthia Zubritsky, Ph.D.
Funding Source: NIMH RO1
This is the second NIMH funded grant to explore model development for planning residential service systems. The objective of this project is to refine the original model that was based on the Philadelphia mental health system. Model input parameters were originally derived from empirical data on the public sector sub-acute inpatient and residential service utilization records. In the current project, we will improve on the client flow decision support tool as follows: 1) We will employ a new approach to model demand for services based on client need. A functional status classification scale will be applied to assign appropriate "levels of care" among clients in need of hospital and residential services. Transition patterns showing changes in client functioning between levels of care will be incorporated into the model, using a local expert panel to estimate change rates; 2) The effect of high intensity outpatient services such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Intensive Case Management (ICM) programs on demand for hospital and residential services will be incorporated into the model with the objective to reduce demand for staffed residential services. 3) Finally, we will add a cost component to the planning model in order to project what monetary funds are needed. Secondary data from the Philadelphia mental health system will be used (CBH, CRS, Person Plus, etc.).
Methods of Determining Psychiatric Prevalence Rates Using Medicaid Claims data
Aileen Rothbard, Sc.D., Liz Noll, MA
Dates: 2006-2008
The purpose of this study is to show the variability in estimates of mental health disorders using Medicaid claims data based on the methodology used to label subjects by diagnostic category . The need to standardize the method for determining which diagnostic category an individual is placed is important given the need to compare results across the growing number of research studies using Medicaid data as well as its increasing use for state and county service planning. Since 54% of psychiatrically disabled adults are enrolled in a Medicaid health program, analysis of these data can provide important information on prior and current utilization patterns, cost estimations and quality of care measures. However, one of the challenges presented by the data is related to multiple records associated with visits containing different diagnoses for the same individual during any one year period. This makes it difficult to categorize the patient for various analysis as it is unclear which diagnosis is primary and which is secondary.
Racial Disparities in Treatment of Behavioral Health Disorders in Philadelphia
Aileen Rothbard, Sc.D., Liz Noll, MA, Trevor Hadley, PhD
Dates: 2006-2008
Funding Source: Phila Department of Behavioral Health (DBH)
In a study done in 1993 using Philadelphia Medicaid data, African Americans (AA) had less access and intensity (volume) of inpatient and outpatient services than whites. Additionally, AA were less likely to receive psychotropic medications or to receive psychiatric services from a physician. In other studies, the rate at which second generation antipsychotics are prescribed to AA lags behind whites. This is true for antidepressants as well and occurs in medical settings as well as community sites. This study will examine the extent that racial disparities continue to exist in the Philadelphia public mental health system for 2003 -2006.
Trends in Psychotherapy Treatment for Medicaid clients with Depression
Aileen Rothbard, Sc.D., Liz Noll, MA, Mary Beth Gibbons, PhD
Dates: 2006-2007
Funding Source: NIMH K award (Gibbons)
This project examines trends in outpatient psychotherapy for adults over the last ten years in public sector programs. Evidenced based practices for persons with major depression, with respect to duration of treatment, combination pharmacology and therapy will be investigated. The focus will be on Philadelphia County with an examination of treatment by race and gender.
National Perinatal Study of Persons with Serious Mental Illness
Aileen Rothbard, Sc.D., Liz Noll, MA, Trevor Hadley, PhD
Dates: 2006-2007
Funding Source: Stanley Foundation
Dates: 2006-2008.
This study will identify new cases of individuals in the Philadelphia Perinatal database (n=9236) that have been treated for a mental health problem in the public mental health system between 1995 and 2003 (05). An original study (Cannon) using Philadelphia Medicaid and CRS mental health files found ~ 250 persons from the perinatal data base that had a treatment related visit with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder. Clinical chart reviews were done on a sample of these individuals by identifying their most reason provider visit and contacting the provider agencies to request a validation of the diagnosis. This study is a follow-up to identify new cases since 1995 and determine the feasibility of doing an interview with a sample of these individuals.

Community Integration for People with Psychiatric Disabilities:
The mission of the RRTC is to research, develop, and promote strategies to reduce barriers to community integration and enhance supports associated with community integration that will result in better quality of life among people with psychiatric disabilities. Barriers and supports associated with community integration are understood to occur at multiple levels (Cultural/Societal, local community, organizational, programmatic, and individual). Examples of barriers include stigma, policies that limit integration, staff training about integration, the availability of program supports, and individual internalization of hopelessness and low perceived empowerment. Examples of supports include policies and programmatic supports that facilitate community integration, and peer support.
The overall goal of the RRTC is to be a center of excellence in research, training, technical assistance, and dissemination on community integration for people with psychiatric disabilities. Specific objectives include:
- Conduct cutting edge research to enhance knowledge and understanding about community integration for people with psychiatric disabilities, barriers to community integration, and supportive strategies for enhancing community integration.
- Develop and offer an extensive array of training and technical assistance to a broad range of stakeholders that will provide based on current research in the field, including research already being conducted by those involved in the proposed RRTC, as well as future research findings.
- Disseminate research findings of relevance to community integration, including results from the proposed RRTC research efforts, as well as training and technical assistance materials to a broad audience using state of the art dissemination models and technology.
Internet Peer Support for Breast Cancer
Peer support is consistently and unambiguously recognized as benefiting persons with serious mental illnesses in their recovery and promotion of self-care (i.e., treatment adherence, self-efficacy, motivation). In the face of these findings it is disconcerting that face-to-face peer support interventions, such as self-help groups, may be underutilized due to travel needed to get to such groups, time investment, fatigue, stigma, and other factors that may limit participation. The Internet has emerged as an exciting and potentially valuable tool in delivering psychosocial and educational interventions to persons with severe mental illnesses, including being used as a conduit for peer support. Internet peer support is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, features that plausibly increase the accessibility and utilization of peer support for those who do not attend face-to-face support. This R21 application proposes to conduct an exploratory/developmental study to obtain preliminary data on impact of Internet peer support on various psychosocial outcomes and self-care attitudes and behaviors of persons with serious mental illnesses. The proposed randomized study will provide data on the potential effectiveness of Internet peer support that, if promising, will serve as the basis for a future R01 proposal. A secondary aim of this developmental study is to assess the feasibility of various methods for understanding the Internet peer support process. The proposed process study will examine a number of key issues, including: 1) Level of participation in the online peer support intervention; 2) analysis of the online peer support communications; and 3) assessment of participant perceptions of the online support process. The products from this effort will serve as a basis for planning future intervention research project grant applications (R01) based on the information gathered.

HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse Prevention among Women of Color
Sponsored by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention
Sara-Ann Steber, PhD serves as the Evaluator on an HIV/AIDs prevention project operated by the Community Prevention Partnership of Berks County (CPPBC). The CPPBC received funding to support the development and implementation of the Neighborhood Unity Program (NUP) a community outreach and educational intervention targeting Hispanic women in Reading Pennsylvania. The NUP employs individual, group and community prevention strategies designed to reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS and substance abuse among participants, their families and their communities. The intervention occurs in two public housing developments and two areas in Reading's Weed & Seed neighborhood. The NUP employs an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (Fisher & Fisher, 1992) prevention model for program participants. The intervention has three components. The first component is a 12-week educational program that includes sessions covering HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention as well as sessions on conflict resolution, family relationships, self-esteem, stress management and accessing resources. The second component is the development of a Women's Health Council (WHC) (Sikkema et al, 2000) in each of the four study sites. Women who have completed the educational program are recruited to serve on the WHC and participate in a specialized train the trainer program "Talking to your Kids about AIDS" curriculum (Meschke et al, 1999). They then serve as peer educators to teach their neighbors how to talk to their children about substance abuse and AIDS. They also assist with community education on HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention through community events and activities aimed at adults, young adults, families, and youth. The final component is the development of a Berks County HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse Service Providers Committee, to increase the coordination of and access to HIV/AIDS, substance abuse and other community services for the Hispanic population in the City of Reading that is increasingly isolated and marginalized in prevention and treatment programs and services.

Primary Care Research In Substance Abuse and Mental Health for Elderly
Principal Investigator:
Multi-Site Chairperson
Funding Source: SAMHSA, HRSA, VA
Dates: 2001-2007
The Primary Care Research in Substance Abuse and Mental Health for Elderly (PRISM-E) is a multi-site, randomized trial comparing two types of care models for delivery of mental health services to elderly people through primary care. Older adults aged 65 and above were screened at primary care clinics from 10 study sites throughout the U.S.A. Those who met diagnostic criteria for depression, anxiety, and/or at-risk alcohol consumption were randomly assigned to two different models of care: integrated mental health and primary care or enhanced specialty care. This is the largest study of older adults and mental health that has been completed in the U.S.
National Outcomes Roundtable for Children and Families
Co-Investigator Funding: SAMHSA
The Outcomes Roundtable for Children and Families, is sponsored by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The mission of the Outcomes Roundtable is to bring together multiple perspectives and expertise to provide leadership that stimulates culturally competent and data driven improvements in policy, practice and research for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral health needs and their families. This mission underscores the Roundtable's current focus on the development of an appropriate outcome accountability system within child service systems. Presently, there is little unity across child service systems on how to accomplish this, and virtually no means of sharing information across these systems. In response to this dilemma, the Roundtable is working to identify of a parsimonious, consensus-based set of behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) performance measures that can be implemented and commonly shared across child service systems in both the public and private sectors. This proposed set of common performance measures builds on a variety of existing frameworks and systems, for example, the Institute of Medicine (Crossing the Quality Chasm), NCQA/HEDIS, FACCT (Foundation for Accountability), the American College of Mental Health Administration (ACHMA), Washington Circle Group, NASMHPD, as well as other groups. The meaningfulness and scientific soundness of each measure, as well as the feasibility of implementing the performance measure are used as criteria for selecting the proposed performance measures.
Health Related Quality of Life
Co-Investigator School of Nursing
Funding: NIH 2006-2011
The Health Related Quality of Life study will assess and follow 500 people through a variety of long term care facilities, including assisted living and nursing homes. The goal of the study is to determine the components of care that contribute to a high quality of life for persons as they transition through care settings.
Pennsylvania Co-Occurring Systems Integration Grant (COSIG)
Funding: SAMHSA
The PA COSIG grant was an initiative to integrate mental health and substance abuse treatment through the development and implementation of state level infrastructure for co-occurring disorders. This activity used the knowledge and experience gained through previously state-funded MISA pilots at the county level; and funded six pilot enhancement activities to develop a comprehensive, integrated approach to serving persons with co-occurring disorders. Infrastructure development goals targeted: 1) Screening and Assessment; 2) Training; 3) Evaluation; and 4) Treatment. Six service pilot sites were evaluated to determine the effectiveness of different service models and tested the feasibility and effectiveness of particular infrastructure enhancement strategies. The approach used planning strategies that are already in place in Pennsylvania by leveraging and building upon the experience currently available at the county level.
Beaver County's System of Care: Optimizing Resources, Education and Supports (BC-SCORES)
Funding: SAMHSA
BC-SCORES is a system of care grant that will develop a comprehensive system of care for adolescents (14 to 21), involved with the juvenile justice system who have a co-occurring mental health/substance abuse disorder. Adolescents entering the juvenile justice system are assessed for a co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. Individuals with this disorder who agree to participate are entered into a system of care and followed for three years. This community based system of care builds on the strength and potential of each adolescent and family by developing a single integrated plan for treatment and a new type of case coordination (system coach) which links agencies and families. Services include Multi-systemic Therapy or an enhanced Family Based Team. System coaches will ensure coordination among treatment, juvenile justice, education, vocational training, transition planning, physical health care and empowerment of youth and his/her family members in accessing and receiving services tailored to their individual needs. Targeted outcomes of BC-SCORES include: creation and continuation of a system of care for the targeted population; increased awareness of the impact cultural issues have on treatment; timely and accurate screening for co-occurring disorders, integrated service planning; improved clinical outcomes related to mental health status and substance use; reduced involvement with the juvenile justice systems; reduced incarceration and out-of-home placement; and improved school success as indicated by attendance, school performance, and rates of suspension.

Hi All,
I'd be interested to hear from anybody who's using Zimbra in a K12 school environment. I've inherited a situation where 1/2 of my school district is on a hosted Communigate mail server and the other 1/2 is on a locally maintained Groupwise server. Not optimal, to say the least. Moving everybody to Zimbra looks like a good solution for various reasons like be able to retain global address books from Groupwise, etc. Also, it seems usable for facilities scheduling (Who's using the gym two weeks from Friday?).
Anybody been down this road before?

Bowel Movements and Urination
Your baby's first bowel movements are made up of a black, tarry substance called meconium. You can wipe the meconium from your baby's skin with warm water and baby lotion or oil. In breastfed babies, meconium slowly changes to a loose stool that is mustard-colored. Breastfed babies usually have three or more bowel movements a day. The stools will not have an unpleasant smell.
In bottle-fed babies, stools are more formed and vary from soft to pasty, and from yellow-green to yellow-brown in color. They have an unpleasant odor. Bottle-fed babies usually have one to four bowel movements a day. Dry or hard stools mean that your baby needs more fluids.
Your baby will urinate within the first 24 hours following birth. Even if she hasn't taken in any fluids, she will lose some of the fluids that collected in her tissues during her life in the womb. A baby who is getting enough fluids will have about six to eight wet/dirty diapers a day. The urine should be clear or pale yellow.

Metal Shop MIG WeldingWritten by on November 1, 2011 Spoolin' Around With Aluminum
Our last foray with Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding—which, by the way, is generally a misnomer for GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), but it's so commonly used, we'll continue to do so—will be a general overview of its application with aluminum. Yes, that's right, MIG welding aluminum … with Miller Electric Mfg. Co.'s Spoolmate 100 Series wire-feed spool gun. (The Spoolmate is not limited to aluminum, as it will also accommodate mild and stainless steel.)
For those of you gun shy about learning to TIG weld (a topic we'll begin covering next month), but would like the ability to weld aluminum, the Spoolmate 100 MIG accessory—compatible with Millermatic 140/180/211 and Passport Plus machines—may just be the perfect solution. For one, the investment is a fraction of the cost of a complete TIG welding setup—new or used. Secondly, you don't have to learn a whole new welding process (that is, if you're proficient with your MIG welder in the first place).
The Spoolmate is a direct-connect accessory (a retrofit kit is required for pre-AutoSet Millermatic 140/180s), meaning all you do is swap out your MIG torch for the spool gun and hook up the appropriate shielding gas. It's as easy as performing the process itself. The gun features a recessed contact tip and a clear spool cover to help reduce the number of burn backs (which is when the wire burns back and melts to the tip, ultimately ruining it). Another great feature is a pair of dual V-knurled drive rolls that help ensure consistent feeding of aluminum, which lacks the column strength to reliably feed through a standard MIG gun. Users can also adjust drive roll tension to match the wire being used.
The Spoolmate is great for hobbyist-type work—it's affordable, easy to use, and can handle a good variety of jobs. However, when it comes to welding thinner materials, or for more than just occasional use, as you'll see in next month's Metal Shop, you still may want to consider stepping up to TIG welding.
6 & 7. There are two types of general filler metals (wire) for welding aluminum with the spool gun: 4043 and 5356. For our uses, 4043 is best suited/recommended. Installing the wire reel is very straightforward. With the see-through cover off, hold the drive roll release lever down while feeding wire through the inlet guide.
8 & 9. With the contact tip removed (just as you would with a standard MIG gun), thread wire through with just enough stick-out to re-install the tip and nozzle.
10 & 11. The Spoolmate gun is factory-set for proper 0.030-0.035 aluminum wire pressure. To ensure proper drive roll pressure, with the tip/nozzle installed and your machine powered up, feed the wire directly into a block of wood, as shown, and using a flat blade screwdriver, adjust tension accordingly with the recessed screw directly in front of the release lever.

3. With the exception of some earlier (non AutoSet) Millermatic 140 and 180s, the Spoolmate 100 is a direct connect to all Millermatic 140/180/211 and Passport Plus MIG welders. Even though it's a self-contained wire feeder, it still needs the shielding gas input.
12. The Spoolmate 100 is suitable to handle mild/stainless steel as well as aluminum—regardless, make sure you've got the correct shielding gas for whichever application you're working with (in the case of aluminum, that would be straight Argon).13. General rule of thumb when MIG welding aluminum—use a forehand/push method with a 10-15 degree tip angle to achieve a nice, clean, non-porous bead.

Unit 7 also.
Unit 7 also.
didn't draw 7 either im thinking it all came down to the regular and special tags. the price on that special tag is ridiculous. its all coming down to has the most money anymore.
How is the public land access in unit 7? The MRS makes it sound like the access isn't the best.
7 has little pieces of public here and there and they are usually landlocked or they have one place to access a piece of national forest at least where i have been. you can get on but be ready to walk and stay in your tent. lots of private and to lease or even a trespass fee is ridiculous what they want. money is nothing the most of the ranchers up there.
drew unit 38 type 9, first time to wyoming anyone hunted this area before, any info appreciated.
Hey JenBickel I'm also a Wyoming resident and put in for 38 archery. Fingers are crossed that I draw a tag this year.
Hi, My first time on the forum thing. Can anyone explain Wyomings point system to me. I thought I under stood it but after this years draw I'm not so sure. I'm trying to collect points for unit 35 and untill I get enough hunt on a GEN as a second choice. In other words be able to hunt 2 or 3 years staight on a second choice then draw the hard tag (unit 35) when I get enough points. It looks like I got it wrong. HELP ! ! !
area 38 is definitely the best.. i havent drawn for the past 2 years so i am hoping that this year i draw! where at in wyoming are you?
No luck for us in unit 111. Odds went way down this year.
I'm also from Sheridan. Heck, for all I know we could be neighbors..lol.. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

May 30, 2016
The Mississippi secretary of state's office Monday was still awaiting certified election results from eight of the 82 counties.
State law says counties have 10 days to certify the results and submit numbers to the state, but there's no penalty for being late.
This past Friday was the 10th day after the Nov. 6 election.
The secretary of state's office said it was still awaiting numbers Monday from Adams, Clay, Hinds, Issaquena, Itawamba, Noxubee, Stone and Washington counties.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said last month that Hinds was one of three counties that could accept military or overseas ballots until Nov. 10.
Hinds, Pontotoc and Jefferson Davis counties failed to transmit ballots to military members or U.S. citizens living overseas at least 45 days before the election.

NEW YORK — A New York City cab driver who wore a swastika armband while on the job has been suspended for 30 days.
The city's Taxi and Limousine Commission suspended Gabriel Diaz's operator's license Friday after a Jewish group and others complained.
Article continues belowDiaz tells the Daily News he believes in the "ideology of National Socialism" and will continue to show off the Nazi symbol when he's not at work. He says: If a Muslim can drive a cab wearing a turban and "a homosexual can walk around with a big rainbow flag" why can't he wear a Nazi armband?
The Anti-Defamation League calls Diaz's armband a "frightening and offensive" message. It commends the city for taking quick action.

Hey guys, while chasing the never ending point creep and building points I decided to start finding an OTC archery unit I can hunt each year while building points. I have decided to hunt unit 11 simply for the fact that it is close to the trophy units that I am chasing.
With that being said, I have some good info on the unit from scouting and research, however I was just curious if anyone has information or experience in hunting this unit. I know its dry and hot, that rules out a large portion of the unit for elk during archery. I have got some decent areas pinned down, just was curious if anyone had any stories for me.
Thanks in advance, I also have some decent scouting info on several other units for Elk and deer for barter if anyone is interested.

Drivers seem to be getting into the swing of coping with mid-Michigan's snowy roads. Dispatchers in Ingham, Jackson, Eaton and Clinton counties report no major accidents during this morning's commute. Dispatchers tell News 10 that there have been some slide-offs, but not many. Roads moved a bit slower than normal. The most siginficant report was of a semi-tractor trailer that slid off to the side of the road along I-94 near US-127 shortly after 5AM. The highway there was reduced to one lane. Drivers are still urged to use caution. There are plenty of snowy and icy sections. Road maintenance departments ask drivers to be careful around their plows.

Throughout the day, skin can experience a lot of damaging stress. Anxiety and lack of sleep can make skin look dull. Other factors such as weather, pollution, diet, lifestyle, and your general environment can take a toll on your skin's appearance and health, leaving it less able to replenish moisture and repair damaged cells. Quintessence Skin Science Moisturizers seek to nourish and rebuild your skin's defense mechanisms. Quintessence Skin Science Moisturizers were developed by a team of dermatologists who have carefully chosen ingredients targeted to improve your skin but gentle enough to use every day. When applied regularly after cleansing, Quintessence Skin Science Moisturizers can improve the texture, health, and appearance of your skin.
Regular moisturizing is an important part of a well-rounded skin care regimen. Moisturizers help to repair dry or damaged skin and allow skin to absorb the moisture it needs throughout the day to remain balanced and healthy. By incorporating Quintessence Skin Science Moisturizers into your skincare routine, you can rest assured that your skin will be pampered with quality, dermatologist-selected ingredients that will restore your skin to its smooth, radiant best.
Using a moisturizer can make a huge difference in the health and appearance of your skin. Your skin will be better equipped to face free radicals in the environment and will also be more resistant to drying or irritating conditions. Quintessence Skin Science Moisturizers provide a crucial step in repairing damaged skin and promoting healthy skin cell renewal processes. From the instant of application, dry skin will feel soothed and healing will begin.
Dry skin affects nearly everyone at some point in time, though the effects can have varying degrees of severity and longevity. Quintessence Dual Action Moisturizing Lotion will work to improve your skin, whether dryness is a common problem or just an issue you would like to avoid in the future. From mild dryness to painful, cracked skin, this formula seeks to repair skin in the areas that need it most. When skin lacks the moisture it needs to remain healthy, it can often develop rough patches that look irritated and feel dry, tight, and painful. Without the proper attention, these patches can grow more severe and cause cracked skin. Quintessence Dual Action Moisturizing Lotion can be used on any body parts that may need an extra concentrated dose of moisture and nourishment. This formula combines scientifically proven moisturizing and keratolytic agents into one lotion. Keratolytic agents cause the outer skin to loosen, helping skin to feel instantly more at ease and allowing the moisturizing ingredients to more easily penetrate the skin's surface. For best results, apply to slightly moistened problem areas of dry skin twice a day.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor A strong storm system that rolled across Perkins County the evening of Friday, June 21 left a lot of downed power poles in its wake. A tree along Central Avenue in Grant was uprooted and the park was littered with small limbs. According to Midwest Manager Larry Umberger, wind and lightning caused troubles through most of the power company's territory. Umberger estimated that 25 poles were lost, most of which were in Perkins County. Umberger said damages could reach as high as $50,000. A pivot southeast of Grant was damaged. At least 12 linemen were out in the field over the weekend with several employees staffed throughout the weekend dispatching and taking phone calls. Those responding initially to the storm's impact were working 16 to 18 hours, said Umberger. On Saturday night, wind and rain hit the area again, but no heavy damage was reported. Previous storms have also hit the area, damaging crops in every direction of Perkins County, according to Frenchman Valley Co-op Manager Gary Talich. "Pick the night, or pick the storm, and you can pick a different area," said Talich. "Several storms in the last week have hit north, south, east and west. They haven't picked any favorite spot." In every part of the county, some fields of corn and wheat are gone or beat up, he said. Talich said he has heard reports that wheat fields won't be worth harvesting and will be used for hay. Some has been adjusted at five bushels or less. Most of the corn that has been damaged has time to recover, however, there are some spots where it, too, has been annihilated, he said. Some farmers are currently in the process of replanting soybeans.

Last night, the Wife and I stopped in at our local Thai restaurant for a quick dinner. It was probably our third time in there in the past month and a half or so.. After we ate, when the waitress came to the table to clear it, she didnt have a bill. She just said Thank you for coming, dinner is on Santa tonight.
I was shocked, I dont think anyone has ever just picked up my tab for no other reason than just pure kindness. We just sat there for a few minutes, not really sure what to do.. It didnt feel right to accept it, but they sure werent going to bring me a tab. I wanted to pay it forward, but it was late, and there was no one else in there to pay it forward to.. So, I tipped her all the cash I had in my wallet at the time, about $30.
Im honestly still a little shocked by it this morning. The Christmas spirit is alive and well here in my little corner of the world.


text: I have been reviewing most of the western states publication, stats, and reccomendations. I have also been reviewing there past ones. So far I have concluded Nevada seems to manage best for trophy potential and Colorado for numbers. Hunting opportunities seem to be better in Colorado and Wyoming. Several states seem to be real close and could easily be argued as better. I guess it depends on what criteria/factors you use, or how partial your your heart might be to one state. Which state do you think does the best for opportunities and trophy potential in the last ten years?

ATLANTA -- If you want to celebrate the next Atlanta Braves win with an adult beverage, you might consider a shot of the club's official tequila.
Familia Camarena Tequila on Friday reported it has been named "Proud Partner of the Atlanta Braves" -- the first spirit to partner with the Braves.
Familia Camarena Tequila -- made from 100 percent blue agave and launched in limited markets in 2010 -- came to Georgia in April and is expanding distribution across the country.
The tequila maker said it also has marketing sponsorship with five other Major League Baseball clubs.

IBM's Tivoli Federated Identity Manager product includes a Security Token Service (STS) that can be used to validate, transform and issue security tokens that represent identities in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The OASIS Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) Technical Committee defines the WS-Trust standard which defines the interface to an STS. Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a standards based Web services stack that is part of the Microsoft .NET Framework. WCF provides a capability to integrate with a Security Token Service.
As part of a recent customer project I've led an effort to get WCF playing nicely with TFIM's STS in some well defined scenarios. I've documented the resulting interoperability profile for all to enjoy. The scenario is shown in the diagram below.

Innovation in evolution education
A variety of innovative resources and strategies for improving evolution education -- from the American Institute of Biological Sciences and the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, Steven D.

MSTA denounces antievolution legislation
The Michigan Science Teachers Association issued a statement denouncing House Bill 5251 in the Michigan legislature, which if enacted would require the state board of education to revise the state science standards to ensure that students will be able to "(a) use the scientific method to critically evaluate scientific theories including, but not limited to, the theories of global warming and evolu
Permission denied in Kansas
Anticipating the Kansas state board of education's expected decision to adopt a set of science standards in which the scientific status of evolution is systematically deprecated, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Science Teachers Association have rejected the state department of education's request to use material from the NAS's National Science Education Standards and the NSTA's Pathways to Science Standards in the Kansas Science Education Standards.
Discovery Institute and Thomas More Law Center Squabble in AEI Forum
On October 21, the American Enterprise Institute sponsored a forum titled "Science Wars" that focused on the intelligent design/evolution controversy. Among the participants in the forum were the Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, Richard Thompson, and Mark Ryland, Director of the Discovery Institute's Washington office. During the course of the discussion, Ryland claimed that the Discovery Institute had "never set out to have school boards" teach intelligent design.
"Is it science yet?"
Just as the first challenge to the constitutionality of teaching "intelligent design" in the public school science classroom is underway in the trial of Kitzmiller v. Dover, Matthew J. Brauer, Barbara Forrest, and Steven G. Gey offer a definitive assessment of the legal issues involved in their new law review article "Is it science yet? Intelligent design creationism and the Constitution," published in Washington University Law Quarterly (2005; vol. 83, no. 1).

And remember, you guys! I can't guarantee how well that stock bottom end is going to hold up with higher power. There is some risk involved. Holding the rpms down under 5000 rpm will go a long way to helping it, and our very light piston will help a lot too. But the stock internal parts are what they are, which is to say "unpredictable in manufacturing quality and assembly". So, you have to take that into consideration.

A Lansing woman has been convicted of murder in the death of her 2-year-old son.
An Ingham County Circuit Court jury of eight men and four women delivered guilty verdicts against Mercedes Kemp on Friday.
The 21-year-old defendant was convicted of second-degree murder, torture and child abuse in Brandon Kemp's slaying last year.
The trial began three weeks ago.
Kemp will be sentenced March 27. She faces any term of years up to life in prison.
Defense lawyer Stacia Buchanan says Kemp was a victim of domestic violence, who had been "lured into a nightmare" and trapped by her boyfriend, Marcus Hill.
Hill is expected to stand trial at a later date on a murder charge in Brandon's killing.
