When Doctor's Slam The Door
Published: March 16, 2003

But not everyone believed that report cards were causing real improvements in care. Some experts said that the better outcomes simply reflected nationwide trends. In Massachusetts, for example, cardiac surgical mortality declined by about 40 percent even without a statewide program for reporting outcomes. Others entertained a more disturbing possibility. Were surgeons' numbers improving because of better performance, or was it because patients like P. were not getting the operations they needed?
Last January, researchers at Northwestern and Stanford tried to answer this question. Using Medicare data, they studied all elderly patients in the United States who had heart attacks or had coronary-bypass surgery in 1987 (before report cards were used) and 1994 (after they took effect). They compared New York and Pennsylvania, states with mandatory surgical report cards, with the rest of the country.
What they discovered was that there was a significant amount of ''cherry picking'' in the states with mandatory report cards. For example, they found that between 1990 and 1993, patient health-care expenditures over the year before coronary-bypass surgery dropped by 7 percent in New York and Pennsylvania but stayed roughly the same in the rest of the country, suggesting that coronary-bypass operations started being performed on healthier patients. This was matched by a drop in the number of operations for sicker patients, who experienced ''dramatically worsened health outcomes'' as a result, including more congestive heart failure and recurrent heart attacks.
The researchers concluded that surgical report cards in New York and Pennsylvania led to substantial selection bias by surgeons and that patients generally were worse off for it.
''Mandatory reporting mechanisms,'' they wrote, ''inevitably give providers the incentive to decline to treat more difficult and complicated patients.'' They questioned whether report cards had improved surgical performance. ''We offer a different explanation,'' they wrote. ''Observed mortality declined as a result of a shift in incidence of surgeries toward healthier patients, not because report cards improved the outcomes of care for individuals with heart disease.''
The incentive to refuse treatment for high-risk patients has created a kind of spiritual crisis in the field of cardiac surgery. Heart surgeons, among the most highly trained and fearless of specialists, are shrinking from taking on the toughest cases because of statistics.
Not long ago, M. was hospitalized with fever and difficulty walking. He had been living with relatives in Staten Island before his intravenous-drug habit landed him in jail. He was a frail man in his 50's with white hair and piercing narrow-set eyes, one of which had stopped moving normally. Doctors thought he had had a stroke, eventually confirmed by various brain scans, but they didn't know why. An echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the heart, provided the answer. Sitting on top of one of his heart valves was an infected mass of tissue -- a vegetation -- that was flapping around wildly, like a flag in the breeze. A portion of it probably had broken off and gone to his brain.
The echocardiogram also revealed an abscess, a collection of pus, around the valve. Few conditions in medicine absolutely require surgery, but this is one of them. Antibiotics cannot penetrate into an abscess because there are no blood vessels to deliver the drugs. Left untreated, it is bound to grow, eating away at surrounding tissue. In fact, the abscess had so weakened a portion of M.'s heart that that part of his heart had turned into a thin-walled aneurysm, bulging out with every heartbeat. If the aneurysm ruptured, M. would almost certainly go into congestive heart failure and die.
The surgeon thought that M. was probably too sick for surgery. It was going to be a complex operation, involving excision of the infected valve and a portion of the aorta, the major blood vessel emanating from the heart, and replacement with tissue grafts. Besides being a diabetic and a ''re-op,'' M. had had a stroke and a recent bout of congestive heart failure. All that added up to a surgical mortality risk of about 50 percent. The surgeon talked about report cards and admitted that there were pressures to avoid the case. ''I don't know whether it's ethical or unethical,'' he said, ''but in this day and age we are not rewarded for taking care of sick patients.''
It isn't just heart surgeons who feel this pressure. Similar pressures are being brought to bear in other areas of medicine. For example, there is evidence that report cards on interventional cardiologists have resulted in a drop in the number of angioplasty procedures performed on very sick patients. This emphasis on statistics, not patients, has chagrined many doctors. One surgeon put it to me this way: ''Anything that makes you turn down a patient because surgery is too risky, that's a good thing. But turning someone down because they make your numbers look bad -- and it's the patient's last shot -- well, that's a bad thing, and that kind of thing is happening more and more.''
Surgical report cards were supposed to embolden surgeons and protect patients by improving the quality of cardiac surgery. They appear to have failed on both counts. In fact, there is little evidence that the public pays much attention to outcomes data. ''The U.S. experience with public disclosure is in many ways paradoxical,'' researchers wrote in the journal Quality in Health Care in 2001. ''Consumers express a desire for more information about quality while, at the same time, few are able to understand or use it.'' Surgeons, it would appear, are the only ones paying attention to their report cards.
What then should be done to improve health care? A 1999 Institute of Medicine report estimated that up to 98,000 deaths occur in the United States every year because of medical errors. Most of these deaths, the report said, do not occur because of individual mistakes but because of flaws in the way hospitals and clinics operate. In the recent case of the 17-year-old Mexican girl who died at Duke University Hospital after being transplanted with a heart and lungs from a donor with an incompatible blood type, the fault was not in any one individual but rather in the structure of care: not enough people checking to make sure the blood types matched.
Perhaps the most far-reaching lesson of surgical report cards is that scrutinizing and punishing individual doctors is not the right way to improve health care. Health care is too complex; outcomes depend on many variables. Everyone, of course, wants a system with accountability -- people want to be able to point a finger at someone -- but such a system often ignores the anatomy of most medical mistakes. Surgery, for example, is a team sport, involving referring physicians, technicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and surgeons. Focusing on the performance of one piece of this structure ignores the larger process at play.
In the case of M., however, one doctor did make a difference. A few days later, a cardiologist made a personal appeal on M.'s behalf to a surgeon. Unexpectedly, he decided that M. would get his operation after all, once appropriate tests were completed to evaluate his surgical risk. M., for his part, said he would stop using drugs. Observation can change behavior; sometimes it just depends on who is looking.

Apparently�Stephen Colbert�wasn't the only name in contention to�take over hosting duties�at�The Late Show�after�David Letterman�retires next year. In an interview with�Howard Stern�this week,�Neil Patrick Harris�revealed that CBS CEO Leslie Moonves and Entertainment President�Nina Tassler�also approached him about the gig.
"Not in conversation, like, about to be a deal, but they called me in and sat me down and asked if that would be something that I'd be interested in doing," Harris clarified.
Add new fall shows to your Watchlist
Harris said he turned down the offer — as well as an offer to�replace�Craig Ferguson�on�The Late Late Show�— because he has no desire to do a nightly show.
"I was surprised that [Moonves] pitched me that idea," Harris told Stern. "I think I would get bored of the repetition fast, and the structure of it is so set. I don't have any interest in doing monologue, commercial, sketch, guest, guest, guest, musical act, 'Good night.'"
Fall Preview: Details on all the new shows
Harris said he�would�be interested in doing a weekly variety show, however — one that would feature pre-taped and live segments, as well as guest interviews.
But is that something Moonves would be interested in? "Yeah, he might be," Harris tells Stern.
NBC is debuting a�similar-sounding variety show�on Monday, hosted by�Maya Rudolph.

When we entered the unit I told my husband that I really liked the layout of this one. We had been looking at cheaper RV's to no avail. We tryed to start the generator to see if it ran but the batterys were dead. I headed out the door to get the keys to start the unit, when I noticed a set of keys by the door. We started the rv to charge the battery. A sales person came and asked if we needed help. We advised him (LOU) that we were just looking and that if he had other customers not to waste time with us.
We were quite sure the motorhome was more than we wanted to spend. Lou told us it was a consignment unit that had been on the lot for 16 days and that the owners did not want to drive it back to Minnasota and that if we were interested to make an offer.
He told us it was priced at $24,600.00 which was more than we wanted to spend. We gave it some thought and said we would be willing to pay $15,000.00. We were told we would have to put it into writing and give a deposit that he would present the offer to the owner. We gave a deposit of $5000.00. My husband and I had both worked at Ford dealerships for over 20 years and we had a professional race team for the last 13 years and we are both very mechanical. Before we made the offer he went all over the unit. We noticed that the brakes were SHOT. Metal to metal. (Unsafe to be driven.)The cab A/C didn't blow cold and that it had a rear pinion seal leaking.
Into the office we went... Lou asked about our credit scores and we told him that our scores were very good. He came back and said that he had presented the offer and they had come back with a counter offer of $17,995.00. We discussed it between ourselves and said we would pay that-if the 3 items mentioned above were repaired. We had to make a note of that on the bottom of the original offer and resign it.
Lou left again... in a few minutes he returned with a stack of papers and said we were the proud owners of a (new to us) RV. We signed the papers and then were taken to the finance office. We talked to the fellow in F&I... whose name I can't recall. (which was let go on the following Tuesday) He said the interest rate would be 10%. I asked if we could get our own financing and we were told we could.
We left and Bruce made the comment on the way home that he felt like something was gonna go wrong. He said that the brake job alone was going to be quite expensive because it needed a complete brake job and that it also had a tag axel. (3rd axel).
On Monday I called and spoke to the F&I guy again and told him I had aquired financing. He said we could pick up the unit on Wed. afternoon. He spoke to the guy at the bank that we were dealing with and gave him the amount we would owe. There was a differance because of the interest rate. I asked him if I could write him a new check for the down payment and I was told NO because it had already been deposited.(which it hadn't)
On Wednesday we arrived as excited as couple of school kids to pick up our new rv and asked for Lou. They said he was with a customer, no problem...my husband wandered off and came back a few minutes later and said he didn't see the unit. An older man that we had never seen before came out and said he would take us to see the rv until Lou was available. We got on the golf cart and away we went. Bruce asked him if he was the sales manager (he didn't answer). Then he started in that he had lost his butt on this deal. Bruce again asked if he was the sales manager and he informed us that he was the owner. Mandy Alonso...The rv was in service, it had been washed but the rear wheels were off the chassic. They said they weren't done with the repair yet.
We went back to Mandy office and he said he would not sell us this rv for the price we had agreeded upon. Said the repair was to expensive and that we had to pay for the repair. We told him that that was part of the deal and he said he would shread the deal and that he could sell it to somebody else. Said he had two interested parties that would pay more money. My husband got really mad and then voices got loud and he told us to get out. there was no deal. I was very upset... it was a holiday and we had made plans with the rv. I asked Mandy what it was going to take to make this happen. He said pay for the brakes. I asked how much the bill was...he didn't know. He called the parts manager and asked for the repair order, we waited and waited, finally back on the golf cart him and I went, back to service. When the man came in Mandy advised him that I was aware of how dealership paperwork worked and don't try anything. I looked over the R.O. and agreed to pay half of the brakes which came to $700.00. (Which I paid). Then Mandy told me he was not going to do anything else on the coach. No A/C - No Pinion seal. Nothing. He would call us when it was done.
We still haven't had the opportunity to test drive the rv because of the brakes. We dont know if it has any other problems or not. I called again on Saturday and said I wanted my money back because he said the unit was sold as is at that point. It is still in service and not finished. I am now fearful of what we have bought because of the treatment we received. They said Mandy and Eric (the co/owner) were at a show. They said they would call me back and let me know something. NOTHING no calls no nothing. I called again and spoke to Cody. He said he talked to Scott in service and he would call us NOTHING... I dont know what to do. Now were are still waiting. We have been told so many lies we dont know what to beleive. BUYERS: PLEASE BEWARE OF WORTHLESS PROMISES FROM AMERICA CHOICE RV

We were dealing with unreasonable demands and unreasonable customers
AUTHOR: AmericaChoiceRV - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 05, 2011POSTED: Monday, December 05, 2011
In regards to this particular case, the buyer signed an As-Is disclosure and knew that the RV was AS-IS due to the below market price. During our pre-sale safety inspection the customer's coach was unsafe to drive because of poor brakes. The customer asked to fix the brakes himself at home. We explained that we could not let them take an unsafe coach due to Florida State law, insurance liability and company policy. We offered to give them their full refund of deposit.
The brakes were found to be worse during the final inspection and we offered to give them their money back or they would have to pay for the brakes to be repaired. We explained that we could not sell the RV as-is due to safety concerns. The husband began screaming and threatening, and pacing in the office. The husband then got angry and looked like he was about to be violent because he wanted to fix the brakes himself. We explained that the work was more than expected and we would be willing to let them out of the contract with a full refund but we won't sell someone an unsafe RV. We had to
ask them to leave until they could calm down for the safety of our employees. The husband had to leave and the wife finish the talk due to his temper.
This happened on a Wednesday before Thanksgiving late in the afternoon and they agreed to pay for the brakes. We told them it would be Monday before we could get the proper parts to fix it. Our parts manager received a phone call from the wife on Friday morning asking when her coach would be ready. He replied that he couldnt get the parts because of the
holiday and would get it first thing Monday morning. She stated she wanted it done immediately because of a planned vacation so he offered to do a rebuild that day. She became infuriated because she had paid for new parts. We tried to
explain that the parts distributor was closed again but she continued to call repeatedly to demand her coach or her money. Again, we stated it would be on Monday.
The wife called a minimum of 10 times on Saturday wanting the RV to be fixed or her money which we told her was not a problem but couldn't happen until Monday when our accounting department would be here due to it being a holiday (Thanksgiving) weekend. She posted this report on Ripoff Report on Sunday and then came to the dealership on Monday to which we gave her a full refund.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the happiness of every customer. We try very hard to please everyone with excellent customer service but not all people are reasonable. The customer came in on Monday and even test drove a couple more units and was happy. We discussed the post on the internet and she said even though she was happy now (the next day) she was upset the day before and refused to take it down. We have asked if we could provide anything to change her mind and she was unwilling to listen regardless of our offer.
We would be happy to show our excellent customer service to any potential customers. We've sold thousands of RVs to thousands of repeat and happy customers. Please call us at 1-800-RVSales to see the difference and find out for yourself.

From the article "bit of online gossip"....so gossip becomes headline facts? Come on....think...you can bash better than that...this is weak BS.
you should sell ll your shares immediately.
Oh wait!. I forgot that you don't own any shares...
a5 chip overheating
the competition has dual core,quad core soon and apple is stuck...
that can't be good!
Dual cores or quad cores are currently pointless in phones if you've used an iPhone 4. What can one do with a phone that requires more responsiveness or more resolution I don't know? Perhaps a larger screen? But not everybody wants a slab in his pocket. More camera resolution? 8 MP is barely 28% more line resolution than 5MP.
In fact the only meaningful option that some Android devices have and the iPhone doesn't is LTE. But again what are you going to do with LTE on a phone given what it will do to battery life? What matters is how Apple is going to cover the market, i.e. sell both to the low end and the high end. Otherwise, the iPhone 4 will not be obsolete in 10 years.
[ What can one do with a phone that requires more responsiveness or more resolution I don't know? ]
Play more "sophisticated" games..maybe on a social network as in *Facebook* ( Google+)..as in "Social Gaming"..which is taking market share from consoles...LTE 4G comes into play here also
More cores with a dedicated GPU actually help keep the device cooler and extend battery life....
At the end of the day however, I suspect that a lack of "data center" capacity is the main reason AAPL "seems" to be following instead of leading in certain areas..due primarily to unanticipated demand for AAPLs devices recently...dydd.
Launch date September 5th 2011
*Nothing* of this magnitude leaks from Apple. Just another head fake to make the August surprise that much sweeter!

In Reply Drs Himmelstein and Woolhandler suggest that pay-for-performance incentives led clinicians to falsify records. The program we evaluated was designed to align incentives with delivering high-quality care, rather than high-volume care, which is the incentive alignment under fee-for-service, and to pay clinicians more for doing what is difficult, such as controlling blood pressure in a patient with comorbidities.
We have no data specifically on falsification. However, prior literature on Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures found that clinicians generally round to the nearest number on a 10 scale (ie, round to 130 mm Hg for a systolic blood pressure measurement of 129 mm Hg or 131 mm Hg).1 In reviewing data from our practices abstracted by a third party,2 we found this rounding behavior in both study groups. Of 1651 visits reviewed, among systolic blood pressure measurements ranging from 129 to 131 mm Hg, the control group (n = 141) percentages for readings were 4.2% at 129 mm Hg, 93.0% at 130 mm Hg, and 2.8% at 131 mm Hg, and in the incentive group (n = 116), they were 1.7%, 91.3%, and 6.9%, respectively.

Scarce copper
The scarce copper (Lycaena virgaureae) is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae (copper or gossamer-winged butterflies).
The lower surfaces of the back wings are yellowish and have only a few black dots; there are characteristic white marks the immediate vicinity of these. The species exhibits one kind of sexual dimorphism: male butterflies are colored bright gold-red on the upper side of wing, while the females have broader orange wings with a dark design.
Life cycle[edit]
A generation appears from mid-July to mid-September.
Eggs are laid on dried-out plant parts, for example on dry sorrel stems. The eggs are white in color and somewhat larger than those of other Lycaena species. The caterpillars are green and nocturnal and eat sorrel. Lycaena virgaureae is the only species of this genus whose eggs last over the winter. The butterflies feed on blossoms of such plants as the ground-elder, Eupatorium, Valeriana, and burnet saxifrage.[1]
Lycaena virgaureae lives preferably on flower-rich, dry and damp meadows in Central Europe. In Spain it is found in the Pyrenees and in the Cantabrian Mountains. In southern France it is found in the Massif Central. Its area of distribution reaches the Arctic Circle in Fennoscandia in the north; in the south it reaches north and northwest Greece. In Belgium there are a few threatened populations in the south of the country. It is not found, however, on the British Isles or the Netherlands. It can be found as far east as Mongolia. The scarce copper is found at elevations of 1,000 to 2,000 meters.[2]
- Lycaena virgaureae montanus Meyer-Dür, 1851. Found in the Alps in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Austria at elevations of 1,700–2,000 metres (5,600–6,600 ft).
- Lycaena virgaureae miegii Vogel, 1857. North and central Spain at elevations of 600–1,600 m (2,000–5,200 ft).

Ventura County Rescue Mission
Finding Love
Although Matt grew up in a Christian home in Orange County, he experienced physical and verbal abuse as a child. He was introduced to drugs and alcohol in high school and thought he found the perfect escape from his painful reality. What started as rebellion, turned into destruction. He went to rehab for two months and was able to remain sober for a couple years, but the roller coaster of addiction continued. "Little by little, my life was crumbling apart.
I was torn up and I never dealt with issues inside, so I kept slipping into depression and even attempted suicide." He ended up on the streets, and would spend nights sleeping in the sand on the beach. "I was always scared. It didn't feel right to wake up and not have a place to shower. Thankfully, my wife found the Ventura County Rescue Mission and dropped me off here. It's a miracle that I am still married today. I was very nervous coming here, but I knew I needed help. The staff has been so great to me. I love the classes, especially the teaching about spiritual warfare. Also, I get to learn a vocation in the mission's kitchen.
I am so free. It's just like I read in the scriptures, where in Psalm 27:3, David talks about how free he feels inside his heart, and that is how I feel. The biggest change that has happened in my life is seeing prayers answered right in front of my eyes. It has even affected my wife, and she is involved in ministry now.
If I could sum up my experience at the mission in one word, it would be LOVE. And I would like to thank you. You are helping us so much with your donations. It really is changing my life. I am so thankful." Because of you, Matt is being set free from addiction and being restored at the mission. ~ Matt
San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission
A Family's Tradition of Caring
Brooke Perlman first learned about generosity from her parents, Greg and Jodi Perlman. "When I was very young, my parents would buy and deliver presents to underprivileged families at Christmas time. Being on a personal level with someone was such a good feeling, and I never forgot that."
Brooke, a high school junior, joined her father Greg on a visit to a recently graduated mission family, a single mom with three daughters, two very close in age to Brooke. Greg, through his foundation called Always Up, is an avid supporter of San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission. The foundation has committed to helping families transition to self-sufficiency by helping them with expenses for basic household items from appliances to bedding, kitchen gear and more. Brooke was amazed by how grateful the families are for the support they receive from 'AllWays Up'. The family they met was so happy to be on their own and set up with a few necessities."
Brooke's enthusiasm for helping others is growing. She recently created a foundation of her own called 'No Place Like Home'. She hopes to furnish college bound students identified for scholarships by her dad's foundation with the basics they will need to start college off in comfort. "We have had drives and donation events at my high school and we are approaching different suppliers for things such as personal items, bedding, shower cadies and those little things that make a huge difference to a student who is far from home.
As she looks back on growing up in a family defined by their generosity, Brooke has nothing but praise and gratitude for her parents. "My mom and dad started this foundation for us and it is so inspiring. It is something I want to be a part of for the rest of my life." And thanks to the Perlman family's generosity and enthusiasm, we are all forever changed.
Central Coast Rescue Mission
I Need to Make a U-Turn
My name is Cody Tucker and I am 23 years old. I was born and raised in Santa Maria. I was a good athlete in high school, but I began to drink and party. This caused me to lose sight of what is important in life. After high school I completed two years at Allan Hancock College and got my welding and machinist certificates. After that I began to work for the same company as my father.
I started off in the oilfields as a Roustabout and after two years worked my way up to lead equipment operator. I also worked on offshore oil rigs as a Rope access technician. But my drinking never went away. I got two DUI's when I was eighteen years old; one of them was a felony DUI because I rolled my jeep off the Colson Canyon Road. Thankfully no one was hurt, except me, in a lot of ways! I have been on probation for almost five years now. Then I made a mistake and violated my probation by being in a bar one night, so I faced either doing jail time or join a recovery program. I'm so glad I was able to join the Central Coast Rescue Mission's Life Recovery Program.
I realized I was trying to stop drinking on my own, but it wasn't working. I also realized that I was drinking to drown some hurts and lies I was carrying on the inside. I discovered that God wasn't mad at me, He had been waiting all this time for me to turn to Him. Like the bumper sticker says, "God allows U-turns."
God has helped me restore relationship with my family. I bring my little brother to church with me on Sundays, and I have an opportunity to return to work. I am so grateful, God has me on a new path altogether. ~ Cody
Valley Food Bank
From Help to Helper
Hello, my name is Jamie. About a year and a half ago, I visited the Thursday food giveaway and I immediately felt at home. The people were nice and generous and it meant so much to me because I had been out of work for a while due to a hand injury at my job.
My parents always taught me to help others and, to this day, that plays a huge part of who I am. I not only receive great, nutritious food from the food giveaway, but I am proud to say that I am a dedicated volunteer. I thank the Valley Food Bank for providing the food for the giveaway because I am there almost every week. I see first-hand what a blessing it is to the entire community – people of all walks of life.
Victor Valley Rescue Mission
Looking Into the Struggle
I have always been an avid reader. I often read three or four books at a time. One day, when I saw a group of small children at the local homeless shelter, I began to think about what I could do to touch these lives. I started doing research and kept coming back to literacy: discovering that ninety percent of those on welfare or food stamps struggle to read. The Ready-For-Reading Book Club was born from that desire to help, and my organization does crafts, reads books, and plants hope in young lives and their families.
My volunteer force is comprised of adults in the Welfare-To-Work Program. We work with the Victor Valley Rescue Mission at community events and at the pantry one time each month. We provide books, but we also set up crafts and face painting to engage the children and sow tiny seeds of hope and self-esteem. I use a cognitive approach to engage children and families in using their five senses as I impart my love for literacy. Reading is not simply an avenue for success and self-esteem, but has been shown to lower stress by as much as sixty-percent in a matter of minutes.
Volunteers help prepare crafts, sort books, and prepare themes. I also meet with my volunteers weekly and help prepare them for the working world. We cover preparing for interviews, how to dress, hair and nails, exercise, and spiritual health. Volunteers also do job searches each day, get help with homework, and I address nutrition too. My belief is that the better a person feels about him or herself, the better that attitude reflects to others.
My most blessed partnership is with the mission. Veronica, Community Relations staff at the mission, had prayed for a reading program. She has encouraged and accepted me without reservation. The Victor Valley Rescue Mission does a wonderful job of embracing the other charities in the community. The mission serves without ownership and sees all those whom we serve as ours, as a partnership. Too often, the people we serve are in a bubble and the world just happens to them. Our working together bursts that bubble, allowing fresh air to breathe upon hurting souls. ~ Lynette

When I hover over my menu, the colour is white (which is obviously the hover colour). Anyone know how to change this colour to the same colour as the menu (red)?
This is the site: http://insidesiralexfergusonstand.com/
Also, How do I change the post titles to the colour black? And, how do I change the text underneath that "Posted by Islam on 24 Oct 2012 / 6 Comments" to red?

Emily Doolittle seriously considered not returning to Beijing when she completed her volunteer work at a "Good Luck Beijing" tennis tournament in October 2007. Fed up with the horrible venue food, Doolittle lived on peanut butter sandwiches through almost the entire 12-day trip. With limited Chinese skill, she could neither communicate well with the venue supervisor nor navigate much of the city. "For me, the first time I go anywhere, it's kinda difficult. I need help with adjusting." Doolittle says. "When I travel, I often feel disoriented, like I don't have good footing."
My name is Seashia Vang. I am a citizen of the United States. Ethnically I am Hmong, as are my parents, grandparents and our ancestors. As an undergraduate at the University of Iowa studying Printmaking and Journalism/Anthropology, I had always known that I would study abroad. The only question was, where?
This summer, International Programs has experienced two Fulbright "firsts"– brought to us via International Programs' International Student & Scholar Services.
Below, reprinted from its web site with the permission of the Fulbright Association, is their report of our first Fulbright story:
In January, 2008, I traveled to Baghdad, together with representatives from 21 other Universities, at the invitation of Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki. The purpose of my trip was to explore further the role that the University of Iowa's International Programs might play in the prime minister's newly announced educational initiative. With many of Iraq's young professionals having fled the country, there is a pressing need to educate others to replace them, which would begin to stabilize the country's economy and secure its future as a democratic society.
The lobby of Hotel Havana was full of Spanish women, most appearing in their mid 40s and older. My heart was pounding. Mind racing, I couldn't quit formulating questions in my head. Which one is she? Should I talk in Spanish and risk making an embarrassing mistake on the first impression? My name was called, moment of truth.

For weeks, the flood's devastation was sprawled across the headlines of countless newspapers, magazines, and television stations. People proudly displayed their "I survived the flood of '08″ T-shirts to confirm their triumph over the natural disaster. However, as the news of the flood dies down and disappears from the headlines, the flood still continues to leave its mark on the lives of University of Iowa students, but more specifically, its international students.
When Sarah Hemmen arrived at the airport in California after her five month stay in Australia, she was annoyed that the $3.99 magazine required more than the $4 in her pocket. The University of Iowa senior became accustomed to sales tax being included in prices while studying abroad in Sydney. Hemmen is one of more than 1,200 University of Iowa students that study abroad each year, many of whom endure reverse culture shock on their return home.

How many flowers should you give a Russian woman?
"You must give an odd number, even numbers are given at a funeral," says Irina Kostina, UI instructor of Russian language and literature, and developer of a course offered in the spring of 2009 titled "Surviving Russia."
Five University of Iowa alumni will travel across the globe to conduct research or teach English as Fulbright fellows in 2009-10.
Members of the community and local elementary school students had opportunities to learn more about Japanese culture and language thanks to two events spearheaded by University of Iowa International Programs, under the leadership of Buffy Quintero, International Program Outreach Coordinator.
The Iowa City Foreign Relations Council (ICFRC) is a non-profit association of community and university people interested in learning more about U.S. foreign policy, world affairs, and current global issues. The Council provides opportunities for members to hear over thirty experts per year who may be visiting the University of Iowa campus or the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area. This past May, ICFRC celebrated its 25th Anniversary. Executive Director, Sharon Benzoni, delivered the keynote address commemorating this milestone:
The International Programs Summer Institute for Teachers is an annual week-long professional development workshop in collaboration with the UI College of Education and UI Center for Credit Programs in the Division of Continuing Education for K-12 teachers focusing on "what Iowans need to know about the rest of the world." It allows current teachers and pre-service teachers a chance to explore
For the past 15 years, Chuanren Ke has built a resume at the University of Iowa that many professionals would envy – initiating and directing UI Institutes, chairing a UI department, and many years of teaching and researching. Though Ke could boast about his success, he said he does it all for one reason – to educate Iowans about China.
The University of Iowa International Student & Scholar Services honored the winners of the fourth annual "Coming to America" essay contest during a reception held Friday, Nov. 21, 2008 at the Old Capitol. The ceremony was part of a series of events presented during the ninth UI International Education Week, Nov. 17-21.
Prizes were awarded for first, second and third place. Two students were chosen to receive honorable mentions. Essays from 19 students were entered in the contest.
After concluding 9 months studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain I wanted to find an organization on campus with ample international reach – I was looking to get involved with important international issues in a meaningful way, while simultaneously connecting to new people and countries abroad. The Council for International Visitors to the Iowa Cities (CIVIC) does just this; they host international visitors and develop programs for each visit. I joined CIVIC this summer as a student intern.
Eight University of Iowa undergraduate students were granted the Stanley Undergraduate Awards for International Research. The awards, ranging from $2,000 to $3,000, are awarded to outstanding UI undergraduates who conduct small-scale research or fieldwork projects on international topics.
Anya Drack, 6, runs into her Mandarin Chinese class on a Saturday afternoon this past spring and immediately approaches her instructor, Fan Youxin. The two start playing a patty-cakes game reviewing Chinese numbers. Drack's excitement comes after six weeks of attending the UI Confucius Institute's Family Mandarin Chinese Classes for elementary students and their parents.

Suggestions as to Railroad Routes Which May Be Used in Making the Trip
Preparations for the annual session of the American Medical Association, to be held in San Francisco, June 21-28, are under way. The several routes to San Francisco are here outlined briefly, in order that Fellows may have information to guide them in planning the trip. Travel from the East to the Pacific Coast passes in the main through three "gateways" — Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans. In other words, eastern trunk lines carry passengers to Chicago, St. Louis or New Orleans and from these points, other railroad systems take them to the Pacific Coatst.These west ern routes can be grouped roughly, according tothe point at which they cross the Rocky Mountains, into the northern (the extreme northern one going through Canada), the cen

Whether you're looking to maximize your space and productivity with a mobile yard ramp, or you need a dock-to-ground ramp, you can rely on Copperloy to provide the industrial equipment you need to handle the loads you work with. You'll find the right solution from among our heavy-duty line of yard ramps for sale, available in many capacities.
Copperloy yard ramps:
- Are the perfect solution for forklifts to get from ground level to dock height
- Can be used as a ramp for a truck
- Can handle 50,000-pound minimum yield (steel fabrication)
These ramps offer industry-leading strength, outweighing many competitors' capacities. All Copperloy products are made in the USA. Call Copperloy today at 800.321.4968 for more information, or learn how to choose a yard ramp that will fit your needs.
Find out more about Copperloy yard ramps. Watch the video below:
8-Foot Level-Off:
Copperloy ramps have an 8-foot level off feature. This gives hand trucks and forklifts easy access onto trucks, loading docks and platforms. These features make for a very stable yard ramp and are especially useful on mobile ramps.
15-Inch Lip:
The 15-inch lip is designed to overlap the ramp frame so that it rests firmly on the truck carrier body, dock floor, or platform. Our yard ramps come with eight-foot-long safety chains as well. These provide added security and increase safety. Chains join the yard ramp, attaching the unit into a safer entity when correctly rigged.
Hydraulic Pump
The hydraulic hand pump adjusts the top quickly and easily. This helps with aligning what you're connecting the ramp to, whether it's the bed of a vehicle, a platform, or a loading dock. Aligning and positioning yard ramps can be very difficult, but not with Copperloy. We turn alignment into a simple process. Even better, the handle is stored out of the way when not in use, but it's always in reach.
Smooth Side Plates
Smooth side plates or curbs are standard. They enclose all working components, while also protecting them from possible damage from other equipment.
Low End Plate
A 36″ ramp needs to be designed and engineered right! We designed an end plate that is shorter than the wheelbase of most fork lift trucks. This way, front drive wheels can reach high traction grating without a problem, while rear wheels are still on the ground. The plate comes standard with beveling from the underside. This helps to provide an easy and smooth ground-level entry. It also eliminates jolts and bumps as the fork lifts travel on and off the yard ramp, with or without a load.
Deck Grating
High-strength steel is standard on all Copperloy yard ramps. They help to make our equipment stronger, for a heavy-duty ramp that stands up to abuse. Grating bars are constructed for durability in the roughest of applications. Bars spacing is 1″ apart to allow snow, rain, and other debris to fall through. The serrated grating helps to insure an all-weather, high-traction running surface.
Safety Curbs
Copperloy offers 7-inch curbs on all ramps. The side curbs help prevent accidental runoff. The patented box frame construction and exclusive hollow section design take the stress of heavy loads and the extra strain of cargo.
Pneumatic Tires
Pneumatic Tires:
Pneumatic tires are standard on all mobile yard ramps. They are premium 23-inch tires and are ideal in most applications. All portable ramps are standard with air-inflated tires, which creates a cushioning effect on rough or bumpy surfaces. We also offer the option of solid-filled tires. These are ideal in applications where sharp debris could puncture a tire.
Positioning Sleeve
The positioning sleeve is standard as well. If you're interested in getting a positioning sleeve on an aluminum ramp, please call us. The positioning sleeve is used to move the ramp with a forklift. The sleeve is easily stored on the side of the ramp when not in use. It should be noted that it is not intended for long distance towing, but for moving short distances in a loading area
As an additional option, we can provide a towbar. A towbar is a hitch that allows for towing the yard ramp further distances. The towbar attaches to the lower end of the ramp.
Get More Information!
Interested in a product and want more info? Let us know below and we will reach out with more details. Consumer and dealer pricing available.
Copperloy yard ramps have a capacity range from 16,000 to 60,000 pounds, are 36-feet long, and available in widths of either 70 or 84 inches. The height can be adjusted with a hydraulic pump, allowing for 37 to 65 inch heights. All ramps have steel side curbs to help prevent runoff. They are constructed with steel serrated grating, allowing for high traction, durability, and to allow snow and rain to fall through.
Many ramps are ANSI compliant. With our in-house engineering team and manufacturing facility, we'll be able to custom manufacture yard ramps for almost any size and capacity requirement. We're here to offer professional consultation for any special requests or needs that our customers may have, talk to a specialist today at 800-321-4968.
Call 800-321-4968
Copperloy has rentals and used ramps for sale!
Yard Ramps Rentals
Mobile ramps are portable and can be moved making them perfect for a wide variety of uses, especially in tight spaces, or where a tuck might not be able to get to the load dock or for pairing with a portable platform.
Dock to ground ramps are perfect for connecting your raised loading dock to the ground. This allows small trucks, forklifts and other equipment to be easily brought up into the loading dock. Click to learn more about these great ramps. Forklift ramps are great heavy duty ramps that forklifts can easy and safely traverse. What's also great is that there are hookups for the forklift to move the ramp as well. Safety at a loading bay or yard is crucial.
Truck ramps will make unloading a semi-truck a breeze! Especially when there isn't access to a raised loading area or when there isn't room for the tuck to back into a loading bay. These ramps will increase efficiency allowing forklifts remarkable access into a truck and loading dock .

Bayesian dynamic models for space–time point processes
In this work we propose a model for the intensity of a space–time point process, specified by a sequence of spatial surfaces that evolve dynamically in time. This specification allows flexible structures for the components of the model, in order to handle temporal and spatial variations both separately and jointly. These structures make use of state-space and Gaussian process tools. They are combined to create a richer class of models for the intensity process. This structural approach allows for a decomposition of the intensity into purely temporal, purely spatial and spatio-temporal terms. Inference is performed under a fully Bayesian approach, with the description of simulation-based and analytic methods for approximating the posterior distributions. The proposed methodology is applied to model the incidence of impulses in the small intestine, illustrated by a data-set obtained through an experiment conducted in cats, in order to understand the interaction between the nervous and digestive systems. This application illustrates the usefulness of the proposed methodology and shows it compares favorably against existing alternatives. The paper is concluded with a few directions for further investigation.

I contacted them again and was finally asked after several attempts to get a refund since I had to buy another scooter from a different company, so my grandson would have a Christmas present I promised him. Therefore I just wanted my money back and of coarse they do not give ANY refunds.
I was asked to take the battery out and take it and have it tested. I am 62 years old and do not know how to get into it to get it out. The person I am dealing with is ARTIE, he says I have no reason to be upset and is hateful to me now. Makes snide remarks now when i email him. I did turn the scooter over to see if I could possible get into the battery case and couldn't figure it out and asked if I could just send it back for them to check out.. No reply on this request.
I noticed that there was a place for a fuse and contacted ARTIE to tell him no fuse was there at all. He said that is probably why I could not EVER get it working and to go buy one. He finally got the information I needed on the size and I called all the auto parts stores around and it is a special fuse.
I contacted Artie again to tell him to send me one.., With a few smart remarks he says he will get a hold of manufacturer and get me one but that it will probably cost $15 for mailing and if I was willing to pay this he would send it out. I told him no that I refused to pay that and that it should have been in with the scooter when I paid for it and also paid for the shipping on originally. If anyone out there would file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commision maybe we could get something done.
I have filed complaints with the BBB as well as the Consumer Complaint Agency and they have censored them because of their practices. I am now waiting to see what they do next.. Probably nothing.

I have a Moby, but I haven't really gotten into the baby wearing thing yet. I've done it twice just to cook dinner, but LO started fussing and squirming in it before I could finish. He seems happier just napping in his bouncer, so I wait for him to fall asleep and then do what I need to do. Between nursing and comforting him, I hold him for about 10-12 hours a day. He sleeps next to me rather than in my arms, so those 12 hours are basically most of my waking hours and a few hours at night.
B (Nov 2012), and little brother will arrive 10/11!
my lo doesn't require to be held constantly.... so i'd say between 8-12 hours total? maybe not even that much... she's rarely ever fussy... i bf but she doesn't take long to eat most of the time (usually between 7-15 minutes every couple hours)... but if i'm not busy i take a little extra time to cuddle after feedings :)

STOCKTON - The teenage boy who died on Monday after he was stabbed in the chest has been identified as Kevin Salazar, 16.
Salazar was reportedly involved in some type of confrontation at Sandman Park before he was stabbed, police said. Witness accounts indicated Salazar tried to ride away on his bicycle after he was injured but collapsed in the street near the intersection of Cornwall Drive and Lucile Avenue.
Dennis Turner, who lives near the park, said Salazar signaled to him for help. Turner said he tried to comfort the teenager until the arrival of paramedics. Salazar was pronounced dead at San Joaquin General Hospital.
Police on Tuesday said they are seeking a "person of interest" who was described as a male in his 20s with a slender build and standing 6 feet 1 inch tall who was last seen walking north on Don Avenue on the east edge of the park, Stockton police spokesman Pete Smith said. A composite sketch of the assailant is still being prepared, he said.
Salazar's death is the fourth suspected homicide in Stockton this year.

Mauricio Sulaiman Not Interested in Taking Over WBC
By Rene Umanzor
Things are still up in air over which individual will take over as president of the World Boxing Council. On Wednesday, the WBC President of nearly four decades, Jose Sulaiman, passed away at the age of 82.
Jose's son, Mauricio Sulaiman, was always viewed as the future heir to the throne. Mauricio has been the longtime Executive Secretary of the sanctioning body, but appears to have no interest in taking over in the top spot.
"Truthfully it does not interest me [to take over his position]. I stood by my father and worked with him in. boxing. Everything that people saw that I did was on the orders of my father, a great generator of ideas who was always thinking of ways to innovate this sport," he said.
"The plan of the Council was always see him return but that never happened. This is a very solid organization that has a lot of capable people who are able to drive it. The WBC will be different and hopefully even better. It must run its course and we'll see what happens."
A special meeting will take place in the coming weeks to appoint a new president.

Election Year at Other Cinema
Election Year:
A meditation on politics and the political beast formed by footage of the first nationally televised debate.
The debate is known for its power of appearances, but news accounts also claim they presented remarkably similar agendas. They both emphasized national security, the threat of communism, the need to strengthen the U.S. military, and the importance of building a brighter future for America.

Experiments in Cinema turns 10 this year, and it seems that Bryan Konefsky has had his hands tattooed for the event with pause and play buttons. This gives you an idea of his dedication to the festival, and filmmaking in general. My film LUCKY will be in the opening day line up, and I couldn't be happier. There's a great list of films and filmmakers spread out for the whole week of festivities.

Shape". I picked up a 2004 "Brown Nissan Frontier" Crew Cab in Very Poor condition. I called Mike
Hallewell and informed him that he made a mistake and I wanted the right truck he had described.I
called my credit union "In -Touch" they referred me to this "Dealer"and asked the Assistant Manager "Jared Autry" to place a "Stop Payment" on the check until I could fix this mistake. He refused! I found out the next day that Mr. Hallewell had cashed my check and he refused to refund my money or at least fix all the broken and missing parts. ( Sun Visors, Dome Light, Mirror Adjusters, Tires are Dry Rotted,) I then had my mechanic inspect this truck and he found that this was in a
"Roll Over, Flood & Head On Collision". I then had "United Nissan" inspect this truck as well as
my Insurance Adjuster. They all confirmed that this truck was in a wreck! The Air Bag Light is On!
The door handles are put back together with dry wall screws. This "Used Car Salesman" is guilty of
(1) Fraud (2) Theft (3) Non-Disclosure of damages (4) False Advertising. He claims this truck has a
Full Factory Warranty. He refuses to disclose how much he really paid for this Re-Built, Junk Yard Special. He should lose his dealer License! Michael, Las Vegas Nevada.
