People Helping People: the NAMI HelpLine
Here at NAMI, we strive to offer hope and help to individuals and families affected by mental illness each day.
A large variety of activities engage our efforts, from numerous advocacy initiatives, management of our many education programs, providing response to and shaping media stories, supporting our grassroots leaders and more. Now and for the next few weeks, we are especially busy preparing for our annual convention when we play host to thousands of grassroots NAMI members and others. They will join us in Washington, D.C., to learn, network and both give and receive inspiration for the important work they do as NAMI advocates, educators and citizens.
In partnership with the thousands of volunteers across the country, these and all of our activities are important as we strive to meet the NAMI mission. Among the many things we do here at NAMI, however, perhaps no single effort directly improves lives more than our NAMI HelpLine. The only national phone line of its kind, our HelpLine fields 80,000 requests each year. The need has grown along with our visibility, and we work every day to lend a hand those seeking help.
The phone calls, e-mails and letters come from all parts of the country, and the requests are varied. Last week, a young woman early in her recovery called discouraged because she was struggling to manage her illness. A father called looking for a support group for he and his wife; they were seeking answers from others who had a similar experience with their child who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. A Latina phoned, grateful to have a Spanish-speaking HelpLine associate to respond to her unique challenge as a caregiver. Thousands of people contact us each month in search of an understanding listener, information to assist their situation, or a lifesaving referral.
Who is answering these calls? Several staff and dozen of volunteers who are themselves in recovery or who are family members, people who know what the callers are experiencing and who want to give back to others. College students who want to learn first-hand about helping people with mental illness while preparing for future careers also volunteer, especially in the summer.
Our callers feel hope and gratitude for the responses they receive from the HelpLine, and we are proud to serve. This and everything we do at NAMI is motivated by our commitment to our grassroots leaders and our combined efforts at improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. It is this commitment and the stories we share, as well as those we receive, that make us unique.
Our stories bind us together. This blog post is the start of a new weekly series designed to provide insight and offer personal reflections about the concerns that affect people with mental illness. Please join me each week as together we explore a variety of issues through our shared human experience.

As a support person (female) of someone with bipolar (Male), I struggle occasionally with some behavior issues, lack of intimacy and problems with the side effects of medications. It is not only frustrating for him, it is also frustrating for me. What can we do? I have tried all I can think of to be calm, assuring and loving, but I don't always feel the return of those feelings from him. He says its a "guy thing" but I don't know if that's an honest response. Is this bipolar or something else? Anyone have any suggestions? I am not about to give up on this man!!

I need support for my website (www.mentalillnessactivist.org). I sent an email to NAMI, but I have not heard back from any one. Also, I am attempting to create a local support group in my area and need some help dealing with the local hospital. Please contact me. I could use the help.

I am concerned that NAMI is getting away from its focus on mental illness instead it is focusing on mental health issues.I think it should refocus on biological based brain disease

when i recieved my copy of the advocate with Glen Close and her sister ,something didnt set right, im a person with deprssion ,i am not my illness , those of us who have a mental illness dont choose to have it , and we are not are illness , i was offended by this picture it says the normal one & the sick one AND THATS STIGMA. I AM involved in my small town nami. and we stay small because of stigma . nami is working on consumer focused programs, but to much is still focused on the family ,some have wonderfull families who choose to keep there consumer in there lives but most of us dont have support, we are on our own and services for the poor SUCK ,thats why support and education is SO important FOR CONSUMERS.i recently learned the family to family class hasnt really changed since 1980 30yrs ago there are several words and phrases that are stigma based HOW CAN NAMI FIGHT IT WHEN THERE OWN PROGRAMS REINFORCE IT !!!!! lots of things have changed since 1980 now yes there are update pages but base of the coarse hasnt been redone AND NEEDS TO DESPERATLY NOW !!!

Hello Dr. Fitzpatric, I am a bipolar student being denied admission into LSU Graduate School of Social Work's MSW Program on the basis of the way coping with my handicap affects the impression formed by the evaluating comitte which has led them to the determination that it will pose a problem in the professional demeanor required by a certified social worker when dealing with at-risk populations therefore it is in my best interest to seek resources to remedy this Ethical infraction on the part of individuals rating me with a LESS FAVORABLE status despite my graduating undergraduate GPA of a 3.34 from Louisiana State University itself. Can you help me fing help in this discriminatory crisis?

The Helpline is a valuable resource for the Spanish-speaking community. Being able to receive support from someone who understands and who speaks our preferred language helps us feel less alone.

Anon#1, Kudos to you for trying to separate the illness from the person. Sometimes loved ones have a hard time distinguishing between someone's condition and their personality and coping mechanisms. While there's no one size fits all answer, you should check out the NAMI online community devoted to people living with bipolar disorder and their loved ones. These are very active groups where you can pose a question and get a variety of answers that might give you clues for your own situation.
Go here for the discussion boards (you'll need to sign in with NAMI first).
Best of luck to you.

Hi matador5150,
Thanks for your comment. Anyone that seeks to create support for others is providing a commendable service. Please keep in mind that NAMI is a national organization whose partners are chosen carefully after being evaluated for congruence with our stand on a number of issues. We do wish you the best of luck with the areas you are working on, but unless you'd like to contact the NAMI legal team for a referral we don't have any programs that match your scope at this time. Maybe your local NAMI would be better able to work with you on issues in your community.
Best of luck with your efforts.

Hi, Brian,
Sorry that you feel that way. Please do know that NAMI is committed to serious mental illness and supports the biological model of mental illness. Our focus has been and always will be serious mental illness.

Hi Anon#2,
The purpose of Glenn Close's BringChange2Mind campaign is actually to fight stigma. Her organization believes that by getting mental illness out there in the public eye and by talking openly about one's diagnosis our society will become more tolerant. Not everyone agrees with this method, but I hope we can all agree that the purpose--fighting stigma and thereby improving the lives of people living with mental illness--is the same for both Ms. Close's organization and NAMI. As a big supporter of NAMIWalks Ms. Close has demonstrated a deep and lasting commitment to our community, so maybe a difference of opinion in one area won't obscure the reason for the partnership.
As far as the Family to Family program is concerned, we are always trying to update the materials for all of our educational programs. If you have specific concerns in mind, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com to help inform our revision efforts.
Thank you for your passionate devotion to our cause.

Hi Anon#3,
While NAMI does not provide direct legal help, we do have a legal referral service. You can also call our HelpLine at 1-800-950-NAMI to get some peer support on what is no doubt a stressful situation.
Best of luck to you.

I have a daughter diagnosed with bipolar a couple of years ago. She was on our state mental health disability but now she has no health insurance and a 10 month old baby. She calls me screaming that she can't cope but once she calms down she is pretty rational. That seems to be the problem because she has sought help but was turned away yesterday because they didn't see her as being in crisis. I received another call at 5 am today. I don't know where to turn to get help for her. She was in the ER on Friday and I was with her when she spoke to the psychiatrist and at that time she was again very rational. He discharged her but still we don't know where to turn for long term care since she is uninsured. Any suggestions.

Hi Dianne,
It sounds like you could use some one-on-one support. Please call our HelpLine at 1 (800) 950-NAMI Monday through Friday, 10 am- 6 pm, Eastern time to discuss your issues in-depth with a HelpLine worker.

I would like to introduce you to a new website for caregivers of our veterans. It is national, interactive and very informative! www.veterancaregiver.com
I am a recent past president of a NAMI affilate and a member of our county's Advisory Board of Mental Health. Our board geared it's May event this year towards the plight of veterans and those that love and care for them. We realized during the panel discussion and question and answer period which followed the panel discussion that one of the main problems was reaching the care givers themselves who are the first to reach out for information to obtain help for the veteran with a mental illness. I hope you will share this website with all the families and provider agencies that can help our veterans and those who care for them. Thank you!
- June 15, 2010 at 9:50 PM
Thank-you, Dr. Fitzpatrick, for writing about the Helpline. The Helpline is a valuable service to both consumers and families. I am grateful to NAMI for all the work that happens to help and advocate for the mentally ill.

I attend the conference this past week, it was my first. I have to say that it was a great conference powerful speakers excellent topics but the one that hit hard was UNLISTED it brought back all the feelings I had hiden inside me about my ex-husband who was diagnosed with mental illness in 1968. The trials and tribulations that my daughters and I faced during this time was exposed in this movie. I want to thank the good Doctor for sharing this with us and for making a difference. I cried but my tears where of joy that finally the stigma on this illness will be address. Thank you to all the speakers and volunteers that worked on this great convention the movement must continue to be bigger and culturaly diverse. I want to see more empowerment in the Latino/Hispano community This should be considered for the Windy City is just around the corner.

I would like the term mental illness(connotated with stigma) to be eradicated and replaced with the more scientific definition neurological disorder.
It bothers me that the best and more active association calls itself Alliance on Mental Illness. Now that we know about neurotransmitters and dopamine receptors, the term "mental illness" is inadequate and not appropriate anymore.
Mother of a child suffering from Bipolar Disorder

I am trying to locate an email address for Debera Ashline Faust to thank her for her assistance with my daughter who is bipolar. In 2007, She assisted us with getting my daughter's probation in NY moved to Washington State so she could be home and care for her two year old child. The breakup with the family would have been devastating to all concerned, without Ms. Ashline/Faust's help this would not have been possible. She told me that she used my daughter's situation in a presentation and I would like to tell her that my daughter just finished her probation of 2.5 years as directed. she is a wonderful caring individual.

dear anonymous, the term mental illness can still apply since they are aiming not just to help fix the biological engine (read: Brain as you mentioned) but also fighting to help the spirits or cognitive source of human thought each person at some point or another taps into for everything from breathing or eating to getting dressed, driving, and etc... the dopimaine you mention is a biological repair for a biological problem but, you also have to concider how to fix a human mind, no small feat by any means, and no easy task either due to how delicate the human mind can be at times let alone how much each differs so signifigantly. I am not trying to attack you only to defend what i see as being unfairly targeted.

1. Such Sweet Sorrow: I've already learned I'm eating cupcakes instead of telling my mother I'm mad at her. So now treatment can focus on finding alternative strategies—like actually picking up the phone to yell at her.
2. Oral History: By now I've accumulated more colorful stories of old lovers, as well as more trenchant observations about what my self-destructive choices meant and better punch lines.
3. Open-Minded: I'm completely over my family's fear I'll spill all their secrets to a stranger. At this age, luckily the loudest guilt-inflictors have kicked the bucket.
4. Shrink Wrap: After blowing too many relationships by over-sharing over the years,I now know how to feign mystery by not trying to make my mate or my mother into my therapist.
5. Getting Real: Though Freud said therapy transforms hysterical misery into every day unhappiness, by middle age I'm settling for three straight days with no sugar binges.
6. Blame Game: I've stopped blaming my family, bad exes and disloyal friends for my problems and can concentrate on the real stuff—like why I'm choosing to keep toxic people in my life.
7. I've Outgrown Cinderella Fantasies: I finally figured out that love won't make me happy. Neither will glass slippers. Now I make myself happy—by choosing good love, good shoes, and a good shrink.
8. Rhyme & Reason: When I do something stupid, I now know better than to claim "youthful folly," "I didn't know any better" or "I had too much to drink" (since I'm no longer young, naïve, or drinking.) Though I can analyze why I'm still reaching for lame excuses.
9. Footing the Bill: Since I've become older and more successful, I can now afford good analysis, knowing my sanity is priceless.
10. Talk to Me: I've already explored AA, NA, Transactional Analysis, EST. I've realized the best cure is to vent one-on-one to someone saner than me. And Gabriel Bryne, Diane Wiest, Lorraine Bracco, Jane Alexander and Judd Hirsch prove the best screen shrinks are over forty too.

The stick is junk, my son needed the mini-hockey balls that are included so he purchased this set.
Comments about FRANKLIN NHL Shot Zone Mini Hockey Set:
I had two kiddos agree this would be great for our 11 year old friend that is a big hockey fan. Their thought was that he would use it indoors to practice on his own. Well he now has two practice balls as the blade of the stick broke with in 30 minutes of being with a group of 11 year old boys at a birthday party. This would probably be fine for the intended use but not for hard, hit the ground type play. Picture shows three balls but the package comes with two balls.

CFTR gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.[1]Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited condition that causes mucus to build up and clog some of the organs in the body, particularly in the lungs and pancreas. When mucus clogs the lungs, it can make breathing very difficult. The thick mucus also causes bacteria to get stuck in the airways, which causes inflammation and infections. These infections can cause chronic coughing, and wheezing. Over time, mucus buildup and infections can lead to permanent lung damage, including the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) and cysts in the lungs. Mucus can also block the digestive tract and pancreas, leading to digestive problems. CF is caused by mutations in the

Lombardi Leads PCC Women To 15th At State Meet
Diane Lombardi ran to 42nd place individually as the Pasadena City College women's cross country team placed 15th at the CCCAA State Championship meet held Nov. 17 at Fresno's Woodward Park. Lombardi ran a time of 19 minutes, 34.11 seconds over the 3.1 mile course.
Lombardi finished as PCC's top racer after she struggled at the Southern California Championships. The sophomore from Crescenta Valley High ran the fourth fastest state time by a Lancer since 2001.
Sophomore Arielle Barragan-Steimer followed Lombardi in 73rd place (20:08.32) and SoCal top performer and freshman Christina Shamarian placed 94th (20:35.92). In 125th was freshman Tanya Hossain (21:03.31) and first-year runner Kailadnni Chavez crossed the line in 155th (21:44.03). Also finishing the race for the Lancers were letterman Melissa Hadloc (168th, 22:12.63) and frosh Linda Flores-Barillas (180th, 22:36.82). Two-hundred-seven runners from more than 30 colleges participated in the event.
Although the Lancers placed five spots lower than their 10th place finish in 2011, they did place 11th among this year's top-heavy SoCal Region teams.
"I was real happy with the way we improved from both the SCC and SoCal meets," said PCC head coach Armand Crespo. "Diane stepped up and ran a super race as did Arielle, Christina and Tanya. We moved up four spots from SoCal and that made for a strong finish to the season."

A man held up a taxi driver in Park City using a BB gun in mid-December and was captured by the police shortly afterward, prosecutors claim in a charging document filed in Third District Court.
Austen Urry, who is 20 years old and from Midway, faces a charge of aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony.
The three-page charging document claims Park City police officers were called to the Wells Fargo bank in the city, located on Kearns Boulevard, on Dec. 17. The police earlier said the report was logged at a little before 10:40 p.m.
The taxi driver called the police and said someone he picked up as a passenger asked to be taken to the bank parking lot, prosecutors said. The taxi driver told the police he picked up the passenger on Main Street. The police earlier said the person told the driver to take him to a gas station and, while en route, changed the destination to the bank.
The passenger pulled out a black handgun when the taxi arrived at the bank, the charging document said. The passenger then uttered a profanity as he told the driver to give him his wallet, threatening to shoot him, according to the prosecutors. The driver quickly got out of the vehicle, ran from the scene and then called for the police, the charging document says.
When police officers arrived, they saw footprints in the snow. They followed them to the Holiday Village Apartments. An officer found Urry hiding behind a Dumpster, the charging document says. The officer drew his gun and told the suspect to stay still.
The prosecutors said the weapon was a BB gun. The orange cap had been taken off the gun, leaving the appearance that it was a real gun, according to the charging document.
The taxi driver later identified Urry as the person who robbed him, the prosecutors said.
Urry remained incarcerated at the Summit County Jail late in the week. Bail is set at $25,000. A first-degree felony is punishable by a prison sentence of between five years and life and a $10,000 fine upon conviction. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

|Lim surprised at selection
University of Idaho freshman Shana Lim said she was surprised when the selections for the NCAA Swimming Championships - surprised that she was selected in not only one but two events.
Lim, from Singapore, said she never assumed she would be NCAA bound despite having the nation's 21st best 100 backstroke time. In qualifying, Lim is representing one of just 53 schools to send one or more competitors to the national meet.
"I didn't expect to get in," said Lim, who is small (5-3, 123 pounds) for a swimmer.
Lim set the Western Athletic Conference record with her winning time of 53.00 in the 100 backstroke and the Idaho mark in the 200 event with her 1:58.64 - second fastest at last week's conference meet. The 100 is her favorite simply,she said, because it's shorter.
"I feel more confident in it," said Lim, adding with a laugh, "Sometimes I lose count (in the 200)."
One thing Lim has on her side, even though she is a freshman, is big meet experience. She started swimming when she was five, was on Singapore's Junior National Team when she was nine, and became the youngest athlete on Singapore's Senior National Team at 16. Last fall, she took a break from her competition and classes here to compete in the Asian Games and next summer she has her sites set on qualifying for the Olympic games. But in two weeks, Lim, now 17 years old, has her biggest U.S. meet ahead of her.
As for the limelight, "I got used to it (at the Asian Games). The experience from big meets definitely helps."

Cam Newton should go back to Auburn not NFL, Thurman Thomas says
January 14, aka Decision Day, is the next biggest event in college football. It is the deadline for top college football players to decide whether or not to chance their fate in the 2011 NFL draft.
Auburn quarterback Cam Newton will undoubtedly be one of the top names discussed over the next few days. Most believe Newton will leave for the NFL, but NFL Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas thinks another year at Auburn would suit him well.
Thomas, formerly of the Buffalo Bills, spoke with fill-in host Kevin Frazier of Entertainment Tonight (who was pretty impressive btw) on Tuesday's Dan Patrick Show.
"It's my opinion that I think he should go back to Auburn and go for another year," Thomas told Frazier.
Thomas added, "I think personally going through the SEC one more year would be a great chance for him to go back and better his skills and hone up his skills to take it to the next level."
That being said, Thurman Thomas also said Cam Newton is a top 5 NFL draft pick. But he still sees room for growth in Newton, namely, the long pass and ensuring its accuracy.
"I don't think he'll come into the National Football League and start right away," Thurman said in response to being asked if he were a NFL GM, would he draft Newton. "I think he definitely has to go to a coach that is an offensive-minded coach that works with his quarterbacks all the time. Saying that, you know what, if this is Cam Newton in his second or third year as to one year, I think then I might take him a little bit higher than what I would right now.
Newton, arguably, has more to lose than gain should he return to Auburn. He already accomplished a magical season on the field leading his team to a perfect record, BCS National Championship and a Heisman Trophy among other honors.
Off the field, his reputation is tarnished. Despite the fact that Cam Newton was cleared of any wrongdoing by the NCAA, the fact that his father Cecil Newton was found in violation of conference rules, will always haunt Cam as long as he's competing in college.
During the interview, host Kevin Frazier said Newton will always be a target of speculation. With Andrew Luck returning to Stanford next season, Newton should exit stage left to the NFL and avoid the predictable ad nauseam Luck-Newton comparisons to everything that's right and wrong with college football.
Can Cam Newton repeat another year like this under the glaring spotlight? Possibly.
But why should Cam Newton return to Auburn?

ZF-6623: Min and Max swapped in Zend_Validate_StringLength when building a form from a Zend_Config
Creating a form via a Zend_Config...
(snippet) events.event1.accept.elements.firstName.type = "text" events.event1.accept.elements.firstName.options.label = "First Name" events.event1.accept.elements.firstName.required = true events.event1.accept.elements.firstName.options.validators.strlen.validator = "StringLength" events.event1.accept.elements.firstName.options.validators.strlen.options.max = "35" events.event1.accept.elements.firstName.options.validators.strlen.options.min = "1" (end snippet)
max and min are swapped in the resulting validator - verified by dumping the object.
With the values above, an exception is thrown complaining "The maximum must be greater than or equal to the minimum length, but 1 < 35"
As note: The problem is that StringLength defines min as first parameter and max as second.
So to have a quick workaround you should switch min and max in your ini file to get it working. For the future we already have a solution which should be ready for 1.9

TV personality to visit Southern Sisters in Thomasville
Published: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 9:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 9:06 a.m.
Edie Hand, author, television personality and cousin to Elvis Presley, will visit Southern Sisters Restaurant & Grille in Thomasville on Monday.
Hand, who lives in Alabama, will film several segments for her show, "RX for Healthy Lifestyles," which is seen in 11 million homes on the RFD TV network. The segments will include two full shows with recipes from the restaurant at 11 E. Main St.
Mayor Joe Bennett and representatives from the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce will talk with Hand at 3 p.m. about winning the All-America City Award. Crossing Avery, a local band, will play for the show in the gazebo downtown, and the Fred Astaire Dance Studio instructors from Clemmons will be in the restaurants's loft at 10 a.m. to show Hand and Joy Thompson, Southern Sisters owner, how ballroom dancing can encourage a healthy lifestyle.
A segment from Hand's show about Southern Sisters that was filmed in Nashville on June 4 can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0X3oi_H4Y0 (the part about Southern Sisters begins at 9:26).

Rated 3 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vlagrl Tasty and simple! I received this in a gift basket and wanted to serve it up as a quick weeknight dinner when we had friends coming over. I whipped up a mushroom sauce to accompany the gnocchi. It turned out perfect- tasted so fresh and just a hint of pumpkin (at least compared to my mushroom sauce). Everyone loved the gnocchi and couldn't believe I had just cooked it for 2-3 minutes. I will absolutely purchase again. December 29, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by erniew2167 Horrible!!! I bought this pumpkin gnocchi yesterday from World Market and I was so excited to try it. I tasted it to make sure it was done and I couldn't believe the flavor of it. It almost tasted rancid. then I put a sauce on it and I could still taste this horrible flavor. Disgusting...If I could have given no stars I would have. Don't buy this pasta...nasty!!! October 13, 2013

Ashanti Gossip
Ashanti Douglas gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Ashanti & Nelly are still together
Wenn, Rick Diamond/Getty
Aaaaand... you just skipped over this article. Am I the only one who cares? I'm not always there when you call But I'm always on time... How has it been 10 years since Always On Time (yes, know-it-alls, I know it's Ja Rule but my point here is Ashanti)? How has it been 10 years since Ashanti first became a big deal? Judging by how few of you are still reading this post, Ashanti is no longer a big deal. Full Story
Nelly Quiver
Nothing makes me happier than watching a Nelly video. So unapologetically inappropriate but irresistibly enjoyable, even the gratuitous non stop objectification of women – Nelly is funny and I love his catchy beats. But wait. When did Nelly get hot??? I must be slow on the train. Check out Nelly at the Planet Hollywood opening this weekend wearing the sh*t out of those jeans and inviting me into his champagne shower behind those shades.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Urology hospital in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a treatment for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
During HoLEP, a laser is used to precisely remove the obstructive portion of the prostate, similar to open surgery without the need for incisions. A separate instrument called a morcellator is then used to cut the prostate tissue into easily removable fragments. With HoLEP, surgeons remove the entire portion of the prostate gland that can block urine flow, which improves urinary symptoms and provides a lasting solution as there is nothing to grow back following this procedure.
HoLEP is an effective and less invasive alternative to older, more traditional methods of removing prostate obstructions. In addition, HoLEP preserves removed tissue for microscopic examination. After the procedure, Mayo Clinic pathologists can examine the tissue for the presence of other conditions, including prostate cancer.
Researchers continue to study long-term results of prostate laser surgery, including HoLEP.

My son's wedding colors were purple and turquoise and this shade of purple can be difficult to source however,linentablecloth were able to supply my order very quickly and match my color perfectly.These purple satin sashes added a sense of royalty and class when I used them with the stretch banquet chaircovers that I purchased at Linentablecloth(Posted on 4/27/13)
- great value for the priceReview by Rebecca
I bought these for chair sashes but have been using them for wedding crafts and DIY (we decided not to use sashes after all). They have saved me a ton of money and are much more pliable than the usual bridal satin. In fact, I will be using two of them for my flower girls' sashes!(Posted on 4/15/13)

I recently ordered one set of these for my wedding next year to make sure they were what I wanted. I was very pleased when they arrived. The color is so rich and beautiful, exactly what I wanted. I am so glad I found this site, such a better deal getting them from LinenTablecloth than renting them from my venue! Today I ordered 180 more. Thanks for the great customer service and free shipping!(Posted on 4/10/13)

Hi All,
Went to the Classic Bike Show today, not bad if one don't mind looking at overpriced bits of British Iron...
In the Bonham auction, there was a modern made board tracker. Early J bottom end and JAP speedway OHV top ends. I'm a bit surprised at the tappets coming out unstaggered from the much rounded timing cover... Is that right?

The ShakeOut BC drill is scheduled for 10:20am on October 20, 2016. This means that wherever you are at that moment - at home, at work, at school, anywhere - you should Drop, Cover, and Hold On as if there were a major earthquake occurring at that very moment, and stay in this position for at least 60 seconds. There will not be any highway closures, power outages, or other simulated effects of the hypothetical earthquake, unless your local government or utility company specifically notifies you about something of this nature.
ShakeOut BC is not something you need to leave work to participate in - in fact, participating at work is encouraged! The University of the Fraser Valley has registered in the Post Secondary category so on October 20th at 10:20am Drop, Cover and Hold on.
The main goal of ShakeOut BC is to get British Columbians prepared for major earthquakes, so use the ShakeOut BC drill as an opportunity to learn what to do before, during, and after an earthquake.
Visit PreparedBC for tips on what to do.
Anyone in British Columbia can participate, from a single individual at their home to a Post Secondary Institution like UFV. Talk to your co-workers, neighbours and friends about ShakeOut BC and encourage their participation.
Sign up for free at www.shakeoutbc.ca/register to be counted in the ShakeOut BC Drill.

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, a country with no movie theaters, didn't stop Haifaa Al Mansour from becoming the first director, and the first woman, to film an entire feature there. Her movie, Wadjda, is about an irrepressible girl (played by Waad Mohammed, above) living in a conservative society who would rather wear jeans than a headscarf.
More: Why did you use a child as your central character?
Haifaa Al Mansour: With a child's fresh outlook, you can tell things you cannot tell from an adult perspective. Also, women in Saudi Arabia are expected to live in privacy, so using a child gave me freedom to film her out on the street.
More: Did you encounter problems as a female director?
HAM: It was hard. I had to be in a van because as a woman, I'm not expected to be outside working with men. But I think it's important to concentrate on what we can do rather than on what we cannot and just move ahead.
More: What does the film tell people about your country?
HAM: It's very tough for girls in Saudi Arabia, but things are changing. Waad Mohammed, who plays Wadjda, came to the audition wearing sneakers and jeans, and she was listening to Justin Bieber on headphones. That's the future! I very much based Wadjda on my niece, who is feisty and has a great sense of humor. So this film tells her and girls like her not to give up.

A candidate has to provide the nation with a vision. But after the election comes the governing.
In Righteous Republic, a new history of the founding of modern India, Ananya Vajpeyi observes that countries today are caught in a fundamental contradiction.
On the one hand, they are dream machines that bind diverse populations together through something akin to poetry or religion.
On the other hand, they are pragmatic devices for the efficient delivery of governmental services. "The modern state," she writes, "has to look sometimes like a revolutionary dream and at other times like the telephone company."
Modern politicians are caught in this same bind. They have to give us a dream — a dream worth dying for in some cases. But they also have to govern.
In India, Mohandes "Mahatma" Gandhi is often seen as the dreamer while India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, plays the pragmatic politician. But as Vajpeyi observes, Nehru himself was actually both. During the fight for independence, he worked alongside Gandhi to spark the revolutionary imagination. After independence, he had the decidedly less glamorous job of running the telephone company.
In a video that has now gone viral, President Obama can be seen crying while thanking his campaign staff for their hard work during his winning campaign. He is talking about how he got his start in politics, admiring his youthful volunteers for being far more effective than he ever was, and wondering about where their lives will lead them. There has been much speculation about why "no drama Obama" let down his guard, and his tears. Truth be told, the president himself probably doesn't know.
Consider Gandhi, Nehru
I think it has something to do with Gandhi and Nehru. U.S. presidential campaigns are not really about the nuts and bolts of politics, and they are only indirectly about issues such as abortion or taxes.
Our presidential campaigns are first and foremost about America and Americans. Every four years, candidates tell us who we are as a people and what our nation has been and ought to become, and every four years we vote for a vision.
But after the election comes the governing. Presidents-elect must morph from dream makers into telephone company executives.
Mitt Romney was the quintessential executive. His pitch was that he could run the country because he had run a company. But could he govern, given the fact that he was running as the standard-bearer of a party that, since Ronald Reagan, has never quite figured out how to do the pragmatic thing and the vision thing at the same time? Lurking behind the perception that Republican leaders such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are perpetually campaigning is the reality that the GOP has shown far more interest in recent years in preaching its gospel of America than in fixing what's broken here.
Obama's vulnerability as a candidate was that he was seen as the anti-Romney — a man who knew how to campaign but not how to govern; a man who wrote a book called Dreams from My Father yet couldn't figure out how to compromise with an uncompromising Congress.
Channeling two faces
What made his dismal performance in the first debate so startling was that Obama the dream maker didn't show up. He seemed to be too busy running the country to be bothered with attending the debate.
And what made his performance during Superstorm Sandy so winning was that here, at least, he seemed to know just how to pull the levers of government — to deliver the services the American people so desperately want their government to provide.
According to Vajpeyi, the modern state "invariably has two faces, one turned toward the political imagination and the other toward bureaucratic rationality." To be successful, modern politicians need these two faces, too. Like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Reagan, they need to tell us a tale. But they also need to get stuff done.
When I saw the tears roll down Obama's face, I saw a man turning from a task at which he obviously excels ("the political imagination") to a task at which his skills are still being tested ("bureaucratic rationality"). I saw him morphing before our eyes from a man doing something he loves (running a campaign) into a guy doing something he is duty bound to do (running the "telephone company" in the midst of a superstorm).
We now know Obama will be a two-term president. We also know he can inspire. But channeling Gandhi is not enough. To be a successful leader today you need to channel Nehru, too. Whether Obama is to be judged a great president will depend on his ability to do just that.

Acquisition cost: The acquisition cost equals:
- The wholesale cost, plus
- Shipping and handling, plus
- Sales tax.
A bundled procedure code isn't payable separately because its value is accounted for and included in the payment for other services. Bundled codes are identified in the fee schedules.
Pharmacy and DME providers can bill HCPCS codes listed as bundled in the fee schedules. This is because, for these provider types, there isn't an office visit or a procedure into which supplies can be bundled.
Link: For the legal definition of "bundled," see WAC 296-20-01002 .
HCPCS and local code modifiers mentioned in this chapter:
New purchased DME
Use the –NU modifier when a new DME item is to be purchased.
Rented DME
Use the –RR modifier when DME is to be rented.
Surgical dressings for home use
Bill the appropriate HCPCS code for each dressing item using this modifier –1S for each item. Use this modifier to bill for surgical dressing supplies dispensed for home use.
Primary surgical dressings:
Therapeutic or protective coverings directly applied to wounds or lesions on the skin or caused by an opening on the skin. These dressings include items such as:
- Telfa, and
- Adhesive strips for wound closure, and
- Petroleum gauze.
Secondary surgical dressings:
Secondary surgical dressings serve a therapeutic or protective function and secure primary dressings. These dressings include items such as:
- Adhesive tape, and
- Roll gauze, and

- Drugs administered in a provider's office, and

- Shipping and handling, plus
- Sales tax.
Note: Supply codes without a fee listed will be paid at their acquisition cost.
Sales tax and shipping and handling charges aren't paid separately and must be included in the total charge of the supply. An itemized statement showing net price (cost) plus tax may be attached to bills, but isn't required.
Wholesale invoices
Providers must keep wholesale invoices for all supplies and materials in their office files for a minimum of 5 years.
A provider must submit a hard copy of the wholesale invoice to the insurer:

- Upon request.
Note: The insurer may delay payment of the provider's bill if the insurer hasn't received this information.
Payment policy: Casting materials
Services that can be billed
Bill for casting materials with HCPCS codes Q4001-Q4051.
Services that aren't covered
No payment will be made for the use of a cast room. Use of a cast room is considered part of a provider's practice expense.

- On the same day as a major surgical procedure, or
- During the postoperative period of a major surgical procedure that has a follow up period.
Payment policy: Hot or cold therapy durable medical equipment (DME)
Note: This policy is identical to the "Hot or cold therapy DME" payment policy that appears in the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) chapter.
Services that can be billed
Ice cap or collar (HCPCS code A9273) is payable for DME providers only and is bundled for all other provider types.
Services that aren't covered
Hot water bottles, heat and/or cold wraps aren't covered.

Payment limits
Application of hot or cold packs (CPT® code 97010) is bundled for all providers.
Note: See definition of bundled in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.
Link: For more information, see Appendix A: Bundled Services, Appendix B: Bundled Supplies, and Appendix F: Noncovered Codes and Modifiers, as well as the payment policy for "Hot and cold therapy DME" in the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) chapter.
Payment policy: Miscellaneous supplies
(See definition of supplies in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.)
Services that can be billed
HCPCS billing code E1399 can be billed for a miscellaneous supply that meets both of these criteria:

- A description must be on the paper bill or in the remarks section of the electronic bill.
These specific miscellaneous supplies must be billed using HCPCS code E1399:
- Therapy putty and tubing, and
- Antivibration gloves.
Payment policy: Services and supplies
(See definition of supplies in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.)
Requirements for billing
Services and supplies must be medically necessary and must be prescribed by an approved provider for the direct treatment of an accepted condition.
Providers must bill specific HCPCS or local codes for supplies and materials provided during an office visit or with other office services.
For covered medical and surgical supplies that pay by report, providers must bill their usual and customary fees.
Note: Also see "Payment limits" for by report medical and surgical supplies, below. See definition of by report in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.
Links: For more information on billing "usual and customary" fees, see WAC 296-20-101 (2).
To find out which codes pay by report, see the Medical and Surgical Supplies section of the Professional Services Fee Schedule, available at: Lni.wa.gov/FeeSchedules.
Services that aren't covered
The insurer won't pay CPT® code 99070, which represents miscellaneous supplies and materials provided by the provider.
Payment limits
Under the fee schedules, some services and supply items are considered bundled into the cost of other services (associated office visits or procedures) and won't be paid separately.
These include:
- Supplies used in the course of an office visit, and
- Fitting fees, which are bundled into the office visit or into the cost of any DME.
For medical and surgical supplies that pay by report, the insurer will pay 80% of the billed charge.
Note: Also see "Requirements for billing" for by report medical and surgical supplies, above. See definition of bundled in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.

Payment policy: Surgical dressings dispensed for home use
(See definitions of primary surgical dressings and secondary surgical dressings in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.)
Requirements for billing
Providers must bill the appropriate HCPCS code for each dressing item, along with the local billing code modifier –1S for each item.
Payment limits
Primary surgical dressings and secondary surgical dressings dispensed for home use are payable at acquisition cost when all of these conditions are met:
- They are dispensed to a patient for home care of a wound, and
- They are medically necessary, and
- The wound is due to an accepted work related condition.
Note: See definition of acquisition cost in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter, and also the payment policy for "Acquisition cost policy" earlier in this chapter.
The cost for surgical dressings applied during a procedure, office visit, or clinic visit is included in the practice expense component of the RVU (overhead) for that provider. Separate payment isn't allowed.
Items such as elastic stockings, support hose, and pressure garments aren't secondary surgical dressings and must be billed with the appropriate HCPCS code.
Surgical dressing supplies and codes billed without the local modifier –1S are considered bundled and won't be paid.
Note: See definition of bundled in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.
Payment policy: Surgical trays and supplies used in the physician's office
Payment limits
L&I follows CMS's policy of bundling HCPCS codes for surgical trays and supplies used in a physician's office. Surgical trays and supplies won't be paid separately.
Note: See definition of bundled in "Definitions" at the beginning of this chapter.

Do you have a news item for us? Let us know!
NH: Where Freedom is Funny
Just for the laughs: Comedian Justin McKinney talks about the freedoms found in New Hampshire as compared to the rest of New England. Despite the seat belt freedom in New Hampshire, drivers here have the same rate of seat belt usage as neighboring Massachusetts. States with seat belt laws are no safer, their drivers just get more revenue generating tickets. Sadly, New Hampshire does now have an indoor smoking ban for bars and restaurants. This legislation passed in 2007 before the first large wave of early movers came to the state.
Is Being Libertarian Getting Trendy?
Good news for Free Staters! We've got company. Almost 19% of Americans now identify as "libertarian."
Says Reuters:: "One in five Americans consider themselves libertarian, with younger adults being the most likely to adopt the label. Among adults aged 18 to 29, 32 percent consider themselves libertarian. Just 12 percent of Americans age 60 or older consider themselves libertarian."
This means the liberty movement is young, growing, and that means the future is bright!
Tell your friends and family about the Free State Project. Pro-freedom people concentrating together is our best shot at "Liberty in Our Lifetime." New Hampshire offers hundreds of reasons for people to move here. Don't wait! Join the most audacious liberty movement in the world.

Constitutional Carry Passes in NH
BREAKING NEWS: Constitutional Carry bill passes in New Hampshire! The House bill passed earlier today by a vote of 212 to 150. The legislation has already passed the Senate.
New Hampshire is an open carry state, meaning anyone who legally owns a gun can carry the firearm in the open. Under current state law, gun owners need to get a license from local police or town officials to carry a loaded firearm concealed. Today's vote will do away with this requirement if signed by the governor and passed into law.

What's Your Passion? Join the FSP and Make the Move!
What's your passion? What will you work on when you get to New Hampshire? The sky is the limit. The only thing holding you back is not being part of the largest, most audacious liberty movement in the world! Join now, and start planning your move!
Early movers work on various projects according to their personal passions. Some run for office, and help get pro-liberty candidates elected. Others write and speak on liberty topics, run private charities, engage in civil disobedience, start businesses and independent media outlets, and more.
For example:
In this The Citizen opinion column, early mover Bill Walker explains the history of marijuana decriminalization attempts in New Hampshire's legislature. Another early mover, Amanda Bouldin, a NH state representative and founder of Shire Sharing, a private charity that supports needy families over Thanksgiving, weighs in on the City of Manchester's Uber situation.

Where NH Gets Its Money
"Vermont and New Hampshire are similar in a lot of ways — they're both small, heavily rural New England states that root for the Red Sox. But when it comes to taxes, they could hardly be more different. Vermont is one of the nation's highest-tax states on a per capita basis; New Hampshire is the lowest."

State of Liberty: A Dartmouth Student Reviews Liberty Forum
Brian Chen, a Dartmouth College student attended Liberty Forum in March, 2015. Here is his article about his first impressions about NH's largest liberty conference, and the Free State Project.
From the article: "There is the trope that libertarians are selfish and do not care about the poor, but my experience at Liberty Forum simply demolishes this supposition. The general character of conference attendees struck me; they were all unfailingly friendly, generous, and kind. People reached out to me not just to say hello, but to actually get to know me. Free Staters worked to help those struggling to find firm footing in the state, helping them find housing and work. The project is a real community, where participants supported each other. Traditionally, community-based forms of insurance and support have been used instead of government welfare programs, and my experience at Liberty Forum has reaffirmed my belief in a voluntary safety net that relies on real compassion and a more virtuous people will be superior to any state program."

Goofy Fun: Free Staters Win Intragalactic Cardboard Sled Race
On April 11, 2015, the 24th Annual Intragalactic Cardboard Sled Race was held at the Mount Sunapee Resort. The award-winning Robo-Porcupine cardboard sled was designed and engineered by early movers, Jim Johnson and Lauren Canario, as a homeschooling project. Under their guidance, students, along with recent mover Ethan Glover, met up once a week to make their "Robo-Porc" concept a reality. Using only cardboard, duct tape, paint, and wax, the team transformed their design sketches into an amazing corn-noshing porcupine sled. The proceeds from the event went to support a local charity, David's House.

Parental Choice: The Future of Education
Bill Walker, an FSP early mover and member of the Sullivan County Republican Committee, writes in The Citizen about global school choice options, and what is happening in the town of Croydon, NH.
From the article: "Parental choice is the future of education. Whether through online programs, private schools, or public school choice, every parent should be able to choose their child's school. Our country was made strong by our diversity, not by conformity. Choice will rebuild our diversity, and the 21st century will see our diverse children reach out into the stars."

FSP Founder Jason Sorens on Liberty
The Dartmouth Review recently sat down to talk to Jason Sorens, founder of the Free State Project. From the Editor's Note: "Jason Sorens is a Lecturer in the Department of Government, the Program Director of the Political Economy Project (PEP), and the President and Founder of Ethics and Economics Education of New England (E3NE). He is also the Founder and current Vice President of the Free State Project (FSP), a political migration movement that seeks to recruit 20,000 libertarians move to New Hampshire to gain the critical mass necessary to effect political change. Recently, The Dartmouth Review had the opportunity to speak with Professor Sorens about his work at Dartmouth and his involvement in state politics. Here is what he had to say."
Celebrating the Upper Valley
The Upper Valley of New Hampshire is a unique and beautiful place. Home to Dartmouth College in Hanover, quaint towns like Lebanon, and world class historic sites like Saint Gaudens estate and sculpture park, another unique feature is that state borders bend a little up that way. New Hampshire and Vermont share school districts across the Connecticut River. When I used to work at the NH Writers' Project, we hosted our NH Literary Festival in White River Junction, VT, named one of the "coolest small towns," with lots of artistic flair, and a great clothing store called Revolution.

Only in NH: How to Ferment a Nano-Brewvolution
April 7th marks the end of Prohibition in 1933. To honor this day, read brewmaster and Free State Project early mover Kevin Bloom's tale of how he helped foment a nanobrew revolution in New Hampshire. The following article first appeared in the 3rd edition of The Free Stater magazine, which was distributed at Liberty Forum 2015. Kevin's story exemplifies the old adage: "Where there is a will, there is a way."
I hope this story inspires you as much as it did me. Because of the passing of the nanobrew bill, several Free Stater owned nanobreweries have sprung up, including Able Ebeneezer Brewing Company in Merrimack, Earth Eagle Brewing in Portsmouth, and soon Kevin's own nanobrewery, Area 23 in Concord. If every mover came to New Hampshire with one idea of how to increase liberties and create more small businesses, we'll achieve "Liberty in Our Lifetime," in, well, no time. Cheers!

Potential of Bitcoin in NH
The Free State Project gets a mention in this Nasdaq article about Bitcoin adoption. The article also quotes early movers, NH representative Eric Schleien, sponsor of the NH bill who "considers Bitcoin payments more secure than credit card payments," and Joel Valenzuela, blogger at The Desert Lynx.
From the article: "At least two states, New Hampshire and Utah, have bills under consideration that would make it possible for citizens to pay taxes and fees in Bitcoin. New York City has proposed similar legislation. The reason? At least a few elected officials recognize the potential of Bitcoin to help government and citizens alike."
NH #1 for Most Financially Literate State
According to a recent study by WalletHub, Money reports that New Hampshire is the most financially literate state. From Money: "New Hampshire pushes its way to the top by having the lowest high school dropout rate, the second lowest non-bank borrowing rate, and the fourth lowest number of unbanked households in the country."

The study showed that the time decreased by a minute per patient in a 12 bed cardiothoracic ICU. Jones and colleagues found that rounds "did not adhere to a particular format, schedule, or structure. The order of patient visits varied substantially during the 20 days of observation, following a certain bed order on some days (clockwise or counterclockwise) and reflecting staff or attending-physician preferences on others."
What order do you undertake a round? What order are the patients positioned in? Do you think this have any effect on their outcomes?
