Product Description:
Based on the novel by Herman Wouk, this Emmy Award-winning miniseries continues the sweeping saga that began with 1983's THE WINDS OF WAR. This sequel opens one week following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and recreates the events of World War II. The actions of real historical figures, such as Adolph Hitler and Theodore Roosevelt, are intertwined with those of fictional characters who are drawn into the war. Robert Mitchum stars as Victory Henry, commander of the U.S.S. Northampton, whose family has been drawn into the conflict: sons Warren (Michael Woods) and Byron (Hart Bochner) are both in military uniform, while Byron's Jewish wife, Natalie Jastrow (Jane Seymour), is caught in war-torn Europe with their infant son. Meanwhile, the stories of Natalie's imperiled family--Dr. Aaron Jastrow (John Houseman) in Germany and Aaron Jastrow (Topol) in the Soviet Union--offer a wider perspective of the war as well as the Holocaust. Equal parts action, romance, and tragedy, WAR AND REMEMBRANCE was one of the biggest television productions of its time, with a budget of 120 million dollars and a running time of over 25 hours. This volume presents the first seven parts of the epic miniseries.

This mighty cruise ship is docked at Labadee, Haiti in the Caribbean Sea. My husband and I sailed on her in 2011.
MS Oasis of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship in the fleet of Royal Caribbean International. The first of her class, she was joined by her sister ship Allure of the Seas in December 2010. Both vessels cruise the Caribbean from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She set a new record of carrying over 6,000 passengers. The ship was the largest cruise ship in the world. She has, however, since been surpassed by her sister ship MS Allure of the Seas, which is 2 inches (51 mm) longer, although this difference may have been caused by the temperature of the ship at the time. from Wikipedia.

This application is a continuation application of U.S. Ser. No. 10/106,933 filed on Mar. 25, 2002, which is based on and claims the benefit of the filing of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/278,299 filed Mar. 23, 2001 entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING GENERATION AND PERFORMANCE OF ON-LINE EVALUATIONS", the contents and disclosure of which are fully incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for performing evaluations, and more specifically, to an on-line facilitator for building, customizing, distributing, and reporting web-based medical evaluations.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
The Webster's English Dictionary defines evaluation as "to find the value or amount of or to judge the worth of".
Websites currently on the market simply allow users to login and complete existing evaluations. In other words, these websites are a data collection websites. Some examples include CollegeStats.com, RatingOnline.com and TeacherReviews.com.
For example: CollegeStats.com—anonymous online evaluation of teachers in any college or university. Teacher evaluations are then posted on the website for any other students to see. The site is "run by students, for students, and is completely free". RatingOnline.com—an online resource to find out "what the other students think of the professors at your college". The service allows students to find out whether the professor assigns and grades homework, number of quizzes and exams, and if the professor gives extra credit. StudentInfo.org—student-based website focusing on California colleges and universities, providing professor reviews to interested students. TeacherReview.com—student-run website collecting information from students about colleges across the globe, students complete evaluations to help other students select classes. Aceil.com—dedicated to the advancement of international academic exchange by facilitating the "evaluation of all international academic and professional credentials".
EducationEvaluation.com—provides online applications for various individuals to "clarify and verify credentials, degrees, and diplomas". Evaluations.com—online data collection of customized questions submitted in writing. Participants may include any person fitting the marketing requirements of a client company. Client companies submit the request in writing and Evaluations.com generates marketing questions based on those requirements. Primary business is to provide online marketing research. AgentFinders.com—site reports the performance Atlanta real estate agents. Service researches real estate market activity for each client request and provides data analysis in faxed or mailed reports.
There is one company on the market (Evaluations.com) that allows users to contact the company and design questions that are then implemented into an on-line evaluation. However, they do not support the ability to build evaluations online. Currently, there is no web-based evaluation system that allows users to build their own evaluations.
Further, many organizations that provide web-based evaluations allow registered users to be assigned to a specific evaluation or marketing questionnaire. However, these are tasks that are primarily completed internally by the organization or manually by a list. Alternatively, some web-based evaluation systems allow participants to be included based on the specific marketing requirements of a client company. None of the existing companies allow the administrative staff to make their own assignments.
Further, there are no organizations that allow administrative users of a web-based evaluation system to generate real-time online reports based on the data collected.
It is desirable to provide a comprehensive on-line facilitator that provides registered users all the tools necessary to build evaluation questions, individual evaluations, and to assign these evaluations to registered users within their organization.
It is further desirable to provide a comprehensive on-line web-based evaluation review system that enables collection of evaluation data and, once collected, enables registered users to access their account and review the results of these evaluations. More specifically, in the area of medical education, the facilitation of periodic scheduled evaluation between students and physicians for the enhancement of medical training and satisfaction of Board and regulatory agency requirements.
Referred to herein as MYEVALUATIONS.COM�, there is provided a web-based system that allows a user to literally design a complete evaluation system online, by providing a framework with pre-written and customized questions, and answer choices. In addition to providing on-line evaluations for customers, the MYEVALUATIONS.COM� web-based system provides other distinct functionality that sets it apart from all other web-based evaluation systems. These include:
Specifically, system functionality additionally includes the ability to review generated EvaluationsSM including the ability to generate clear, concise, and comprehensive online reports from the data collected; and, the ability to track medical doctor, resident, nurse and fellow completion of evaluations. Thus, besides enabling building of evaluations online, a unique feature of MYEVALUATIONS.COM� is the ability to enable any administrative user to make assignments. For example, in the case of hospitals, the services provided by MYEVALUATIONS.COM� web-site enable the administrative staff to setup the users within a hospital. The second step is to design the online evaluations. The third step is to assign specific evaluations.
Assignments are made online and can be targeted to any registered member of the hospital. The assignments can be made by an individual's name, sub-specialty, or post-graduate year. These assignments can be made by month, by quarter, by year, or for a specific date. In addition, users can log on and complete ad-hoc evaluations. Individuals are then automatically notified by e-mail regarding pending and/or overdue evaluations. Therefore, the hospital has a streamline system that allows them to completely manage their internal evaluation system.
As a fourth step, MYEVALUATIONS.COM� services enable the generation of online reports based on the data collected. A unique feature of MYEVALUATIONS.COM is the ability to generate a real-time and online report based on the data collected via the online evaluations. The content of these reports is absolutely unique in design, by generating specific information on average performance and percentile ranking for individuals or a group, and cross-comparing the data between individuals or groups.
Advantageously, the present invention is targeted and designed for academic hospitals with users that include hospital administration, staff, medical doctors (i.e., Attendings), nurses, residents and fellows. Individual hospitals are able to register for services provided by the MYEVALUATION.com� web-site by paying a monthly fee. Once a hospital is registered, the administrative staff can set up the staff, medical doctors, nurses, residents, medical students and fellows that make up the actual evaluation users. Once users have been set up, the administrative staff can design completely customizable evaluations that can then be assigned to the actual evaluation users. After assignments are made and users have answered the evaluation questions, the administrative staff can generate group-specific reports for internal review.
The above and further advantages of the present invention may be better understood by referring to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
MYEVALUATIONS.COM� is a web-based service that provides registered users with all of the tools necessary to build evaluation questions, individual evaluations, and to assign these evaluations to registered users within different organizations, on-line. Once the data is collected, registered users can access their account and review the results of these evaluations. As will be described, the evaluations services in the preferred embodiment are targeted and designed for academic hospitals. The users include hospital administration, staff medical doctors, nurses, residents, medical students and fellows. Individual hospitals are able to register for the evaluations services by paying a monthly fee plus a one-time setup fee. Once a hospital is registered, the administrative staff can set up the staff, medical doctors, nurses, residents, medical students and fellows that make up the actual evaluation users. Once users have been set up, the administrative staff may design completely customizable evaluations that can then be assigned to the actual evaluation users. After assignments are made and users have answered the evaluation questions, the administrative staff may generate group-specific reports for internal review.
The MYEVALUATIONS.COM� web-site includes one or more web-servers 30 executing a collection of web-based applications implementing, for example, Active Server Page (ASP), JavaScript, HTML, VB Script with a SQL Server database. This preferably operates on a centralized server 30 and database with 128-bit security. Provided at a web-site server 30 are various Internet Information Services (IIS) which are mechanisms enabling files on a computer to be read by remote computers and particularly, used to house, secure and present a web site to either the Internet or an intranet (private network); and Component Services (COM) which function as a repository of custom Dynamic Link Libraries (dll's) that allow custom applications to perform actions in data sources foreign to the application, e.g., enabling a web page to query data on a database.
As shown in
User Access
By entering their unique username and password each user will have access to their evaluations and records. There are two general user access levels: an Administrator level which includes all individuals needing access to administrative features such as Manage User Profiles, Design Evaluations, and Reports (e.g.,
Each general user who logs on will have access to the following Main Menu options as shown in the example downloaded web-based communication 60 of
It should be understood that each user registered as a system administrator or user/administrator (of a hospital department 61) who logs on the system will have access to the following Main Menu options as shown in the example downloaded web-based communication 70 of
From the main menu interface 70 of
Further with respect to managing user profiles, the downloaded web-based communication such as the example web-page illustrated in
The Manage User Profiles function 80 of
From the main menu interface 70 of
In order to streamline the assignment functions, an automated calendar function is implemented. Particularly, the administrator for the department may select two options from the Setup Menu in order to determine their academic schedule and rotation blocks: 1) Number of Rotation Block (RB) per academic year which is either 12 or 13 block. That is, based on a 12-RB schedule the system will automatically calculate the start and end of each RB to correspond to the start and last day of each calendar month. The starting month of the 12-RB year will be based on the First Day of the Academic Year 107, or, based on a 13-RB schedule the system will automatically calculate the start and end of each RB based on a 28-day cycle independent of the calendar month. The starting day of the 13-RB year will be based on the First Day of the Academic Year 107; 2) a First Day of the Academic Year. The Department will select the month and date of the first day of the current academic year. This will represent the first working day for either the 12 or 13-RB schedule. From a Program Year Calendar option 106, an on-line calendar representing the months of the current academic year is presented to the user (not shown). By specifying the required data in the Calendar Function 107, the entire academic year's schedule can be seen at a glance. The start of each Rotation Block is highlighted in yellow and represents either a monthly or 28-day interval from the start of the academic date, depending upon whether the 12-RB or 13-RB year is implemented.
In the preferred embodiment, the setup provides an Auto Notification Function in order to notify users of overdue and incomplete evaluations, such as the tables 55 provided in the default main menu screens 60,70 of
Thus, it should be understood that Evaluators know they have evaluations due in one of two ways: 1) by logging on to MYEVALUATIONS.COM� which automatically displays their evaluation assignments in an "Evaluations to be Complete" table 55 as illustrated in the Main menu screens 60, 70 provided in the example user main menu screen of
Design/Build Evaluation
From the main menu interface 70 of
The selection of the design an evaluation 112 option initiates the generation of a web-based interface 120 such as shown in
With respect to the example evaluations build interface 120 of
With respect to step 1, the step of selecting an audience is to specify who will be the evaluator and may include, for example: residents, medical students, fellows, nurses or attendings. If a resident is an evaluator, he(s)he will answer questions about the evaluatee, who may be medical students, fellows, nurses or attendings, or all. The user/administrator selects the Resident target audience from the drop down menu to design an evaluation targeted to the resident audience. If the medical student is an evaluator, he(s)he will answer questions about the evaluatee, who may be residents, fellows, nurses or attendings, or all. Select the Resident target audience from the drop down menu to design an evaluation targeted to the resident audience. If a fellow is an evaluator, he(s)he will answer questions about the evaluatee, who may be resident, medical students, nurses or attendings, or all. The user/administrator selects the Resident target audience from the drop down menu to design an evaluation targeted to the resident audience; If a nurse is an evaluator, he(s)he will answer questions about the evaluatee, who may be residents, medical students, fellows or attendings, or all. The user/administrator selects the Resident target audience from the drop down menu to design an evaluation targeted to the resident audience; If an attending is an evaluator, he(s)he will answer questions about the evaluatee, who may be residents, medical students, fellows, or nurses, or all. The user/administrator selects the Resident target audience from the drop down menu to design an evaluation targeted to the resident audience. The other option in this step is to select a unique title 126 for the evaluation that is being designed, e.g. "End-of-Rotation Evaluation" or "Resident Monthly Evaluation." Preferably, a generic title is used in order to use the same evaluation year-to-year so that data may then be used for trending and comparison reports. For example, unique titles may be used in order to differentiate evaluations that may be assigned in series. For example: "2001-2002 Monthly Resident Evaluation." Additionally, it is preferred that a unique title for evaluations and questions that change from period-to-period be used.
With respect to specification of whether comments are required 127, this is to inform whether the evaluator is required to write comments in order to complete an evaluation. Each evaluation will have a comment box for the evaluator to write comments and the option to make comments mandatory is YES (default) or NO (optional). If Yes is specified, the evaluator will be required to enter comments when completing an evaluation. If the evaluator forgets to enter comments, they will be automatically prompted to write comments. If No is specified, the evaluator will not be required to enter comments. A comment box will be provided for optional comments.
With respect to whether the evaluation being designed may be used for voluntary evaluations 129, the designer may choose to make evaluations available for voluntary submission. When a resident or attending logs onto MYEVALUATIONS.COM� he(s)he is presented with a list of assigned evaluations. In addition to assigning specific evaluations to residents and attendings (mandatory evaluations), evaluators have the option to complete voluntary evaluations. This is a valuable tool for evaluating specific individuals that were not assigned to an evaluator For example, a Resident rotating through Infectious Diseases is assigned a mandatory end-of-rotation evaluation on each of his three ID attendings (mandatory evaluations). During the course of the month she spends a great deal of time rounding with the Chief of Pharmacy and now wants to evaluate him. Since there are no mandatory evaluation assigned to her to complete on the Chief of Pharmacy, she may choose to complete a voluntary evaluation. By choosing to complete a voluntary evaluation, the evaluator may select the Evaluation and Evaluator. Only evaluations that are marked as voluntary-YES (default) will be made available to evaluators completing voluntary evaluations. The administrator can change the status of an evaluation from Voluntary to Non-Voluntary at anytime (see section Edit Evaluations). If YES is selected, then the evaluation is to be included as part of the list of evaluations available to evaluators wanting to complete voluntary evaluations; if No, the evaluation will not be included as part of the list of evaluations available to evaluators wanting to complete voluntary evaluations. However the evaluation will be available for mandatory evaluations, when making assignments, as will be explained in greater detail herein.
As mentioned, for each evaluation created there is associated a set of questions and answer choice responses as shown in
As shown in
With respect to selection of the Scale 134 of 0-5 in
With respect to selection of the Scale 140 of 0-10 in
With respect to selection of the Scale 150 of 0-9 in
With respect to selection of A-F scale 160 in
The third step of designing an evaluation involves the step of selecting the questions to include in the evaluation for storage in questions database 18(a) in
The fourth step of designing an evaluation involves the step of viewing and confirming the evaluation as it will appear when published (i.e., available to residents and attendings) and, is the last step before completing the customized evaluation. The user will then by presented with a 'Finish' option (not shown) to confirm the evaluation, or a 'Back' option to return to Step 3, or 'Cancel' to exit and return to the Evaluations menu.
Even though selecting 'Finish' ends the evaluations design stage, it is understood that changes may still be made to the evaluation. Once the 'Finish' option is selected, the custom evaluation is placed into a storage Evaluation Library 18 d in evaluations database 15 c (as shown in

Returning to the Evaluations Build interface 110 of
Particularly, in view of
Assign Evaluation
Returning to
In an example implementation, in response to selection of the scheduling evaluation assignment option 203, a user may select the audience, e.g., a resident or attending. With respect to selection of Resident Assignments, the user's browser receives a web-based communication comprising an interface 210 as shown in
In a first step, as shown in the interface of
The 360� Evaluations type basically permits the assignment of evaluations to all individuals involved in the global delivery of patient care and medical education. This will include the Resident, Attending, Fellow, Nurse, and Medical Student. In addition, this module will facilitate the assignment of Self-Evaluations for cross-comparison to peers, supervisors, and subordinates. Initially, the administrator must select the "Focus Audience" to determine the person(s) that is being evaluated by all other in the 360� circle. After the Focus Audience is selected, there is a multi-step process for assigning an 360� evaluation. An example provided herein with respect to
Specifically, in the first step 213, the Evaluation Period and Rotation Name is selected via drop down menu 215. Then, in a second step, the user selects the date range to assign evaluations, e.g., either by selecting a range of dates based on the program's rotation blocks (RB) 217, or, may manually specify a start and end date in entry fields 219. In addition, the user may enter in an entry field, the name of rotation under consideration. In a third step 220, the user may select Residents who will be the Focus Audience, i.e., who complete the evaluation. Preferably, the residents may be selected by name or by post-graduate year (PGY). The selected individuals will be the focus of all assigned evaluations.
Specifically, in view of
In a fourth step 230, the Attending(s) who is/are subject of the evaluation are selected by name or by specialty. Thus, an "Available Attendings" list 232 may be displayed which provides the names all attendings currently available through MYEVALUATIONS.COM. Addition or deletion of names from this list may be performed via the "Manage User Profiles" option of the "Main Menu" (
In a fifth step 240, the option is provided for enabling an evaluation to be assigned in the other direction, e.g., attendings to evaluate residents. This may be accomplished in the manner specified in accordance with the functions provided in steps 3 and 4. However, in this instance, attendings who will be the evaluators are selected, and residents to be evaluated, are selected. The particular evaluation may be selected via the drop down menu 242 in
It is understood that Nurses may complete this evaluation and may be selected by name or by specialty. The selected individuals will complete evaluations on resident/s specified in the second step of
The Peer-to-Peer category focuses on assigning evaluations from the target audience to others in the same target audience group, for example, residents evaluating other residents. This comprises a 5-step process for assigning an evaluation to an individual or group of resident(s). A first step comprises selecting the evaluation to be used by the resident(s) to evaluate other resident(s). In a second step, the date range to assign evaluations is selected, as step 2 of
The Non-Peer category focuses on including any target audience evaluating another (different) target audience. For example, Residents evaluating Attendings. This also may comprise a 5-step process for assigning an evaluation to an individual or group of resident(s). A first step involves Selecting a Resident Evaluation to be used by the resident(s) to evaluate the attending(s). A step two involves selecting an evaluation period, e.g., a date range to assign evaluations which may comprise a range of dates based on the program's rotation blocks (RB), or specify manual start and end dates. A third step involves selecting those Residents, for example, who will complete this evaluation, e.g., selected according to name or by post-graduate year (PGY). The selected individuals will be assigned the evaluation and may be selected from the "Available Residents" list or the "Available PGYs" list The next step involves selecting those attending(s) who are to be evaluated, e.g., either by name or by specialty. The selected individuals will be evaluated by the resident(s) specified in Step three either through the "Available Attendings" list or the "Available Specialties" list as described herein. An optional timesaving step for assigning the above Resident(s) for evaluation by the above Attending(s) using a specified evaluation may additionally be performed, if selected, or otherwise, only the Resident(s) will be evaluating Attending(s).
The Program category focuses on the assignment of the target audience to evaluations unrelated to another target audience, e.g., residents evaluating the cafeteria. Thus, in a first step, the evaluation to be used by the resident(s) to evaluate the Program is selected. Then, the date range to assign evaluations based on the program's rotation blocks (RB), or manual start and end dates is specified. Thirdly, the Residents who will complete this evaluation are selected in the manner as described herein (e.g., by name or by post-graduate year (PGY)).

I had a medical appointment in downtown Seattle. It was Valentine's Day and my fiance was away on deployment with the Navy, so I didn't get to see him that day. I had expected my dad to come pick me up when I was finished, but he cancelled on me at the last minute, so I had to take the Greyhound home, which meant I had to spend some time alone downtown when it was getting dark. I stopped in at Gameworks to play Dance Dance Revolution before my bus arrived, so I was a little sweaty on my walk back, which is about 6 blocks away. after about a block I walked by a guy who was clearly leering at me. I ignored it. As I rounded the corner on to Pine street someone in a truck sped past and screamed something dirty out the window at me. I flipped them off. I continued walking and then turned the corner on 7th, only to be met by another guy who started saying all sorts of inappropriate things to me. One of the things he said was "hey sugar, give me a valentine's kiss". that's when I lost it, because it was bad enough to be missing my fiance on valentine's day, but he had to rub it in. I told him "fuck you!" but he wouldn't stop. so I sped up my pace. a woman nearby chewed him out saying he couldn't say things like that to girls. she then tried to apologize to me on his behalf. He had no right to say that. I kept walking and left them behind. The hardest part through the whole thing was that I didn't have anybody to call. My parents were busy and my fiance's phone was disabled for deployment. none of my friends were picking up. I felt very alone.
Tonight I decided to go for a walk. It was not my best decision apparently. After being pissed off at a friend of a friend for rape jokes, I needed some air. On my walk, I encountered one man, who was certain I was "his babe" and thought I needed to know how much he found my butt attractive. I didn't. I told this man to fuck off and continued on my walk. However, after reaching the beach to which I was headed, enjoying myself and returning upon my way, I spotted a rather sketch looking man. A man around 5'6 (I estimate), chubby, light brunette hair and plaid shorts. With his hands in them. I was hoping this man would simply continue on his way and I could do such as well. As I continued walking, however, the man decided to follow me. I walked faster, he walked faster. I crossed to the other side of the street, so did he. I took a knife out of my pocket and into my grip, he slowed a little, but did not cease following. And just as I was going to turn and confront this man, a group of college students around my age came upon the street and saw the man following me with his hands in his pants. They started yelling, he stopped, they continued, I walked faster, he did not follow. Unfortunately, just before making it to my house, I spotted him again, this time across the street though. I stopped on a neighbor's porch, held my knife and waited. He left. I'm not sure if he saw me this time or not. But this was certainly not the walk I was looking for.
Ocean City is supposed to be a "family based town". The entire island is alcohol free. You'd think just a simple 45 minute distant run would be no problem…nope! I started running for MAYBE 10 seconds but it didn't matter because the verbal abuse started. I crossed the street and this car full of guys were yelling things at me like, "hey you in the pink sports bra" and "nice a**!". Worst part of all was that my younger brothers were running behind me. This verbal abuse makes me not want to go out and exercise.
Apparently men have no age discrimination when it comes to harassment. I was taking a power-walk with my 25 year old sister and my 50-something year old mother. (I'm 22). We were coming up to a house that had three men that look like they were in their early 20's, all washing the same car. I could feel the tension building as we walked up to them. As soon as we got within 3 feet of them one of them said "Hey ladies, can we walk with y'all?" and then all the guys started laughing. I said "No thanks," and we kept walking. I felt their eyes burning into our backsides as we kept walking. I felt literally dirty after this happened, and embarrassed that it happened in front of my mother of all people.
As I walked past a group of 3 men, probably in their 30s, they started yelling, "Hey girl", "Hey white girl", "hey white girl in the black dress with the nice tits"…I continued to walk past them, trying to ignore them, but one stood up and walked after me saying, "what, are you racist or something? won't talk to a black man?" I couldn't remain silent any more…and I responded, "No. I don't talk to people that objectify and disrespect me." His cronies on the bench laughed, and he held his hands up and backed off.
Normally we do not post racial identifiers on this site, as per our anti discrimination policy. Exceptions include when the relevance of race is central to the story, as is the case in this post.
I spent the last semester abroad in Morocco. I've experienced street harassment but never like this. I was living in the medina, or old city, with a family, and every day my walk to and from school was a total battle. I hoped eventually I would get used to it, or the men would give up. But as much as I grew over the semester, I had to realize they didn't.
On one occasion I was walking by myself on the main avenue of the "French city". The sidewalks were crowded, people everywhere, big wide public spaces. Out of nowhere 5 boys went by on rollerblades, ages ranging from 25 to 16. The first one grabbed my breast as he went by. I turned to scream at him and another slapped my ass. A third grabbed my breast again. I screamed and cursed every word I knew in Arabic but no one did a thing. Families simply stared at the white girl causing a scene. The worst part was I was about a block away from a police station.
The actual groping was not an every day occurrence, but it was clear men knew about it. Any boy on a bike would swerve towards you and turn away at the last second with a terrible smile on his face as if to tell you, "I could if I wanted to."
And the guys on my program never fully got it. They'd say it's a big deal in the states too, or act as if it wasn't a huge deal. Or give you tips on how to avoid it as if they know anything about how to deal with it. There is nothing a girl can do that should ever make that okay. It does not matter what she wears, how she holds her head, what words she screams after the fact. It just shouldn't happen.
Towards the end my boyfriend came to visit. Suddenly, I could walk down the same streets with him and never hear a thing. It made me mad. The second he walked away, it would start up again. The men had no respect for me as a person, simply for my boyfriend and what apparently belonged to him.
In the end, we couldn't hold back anymore and the girls on my program began verbally confronting men who would harass us. They always seemed in total shock that we didn't like it. Apparently having someone violate your personal space and whisper obscenities in your ear without your choice is welcoming. I do believe a lot of them meant it without harm, but their willingness to let the cat-calling and following and pestering slide meant it was so much easier for those men who did mean harm to get away with it.
I live close to my workplace and I always like to take a walk to and from it to save gas and get exercise. While I was walking to work early one morning, a man stuck his head out of his vehicle as he drove by and yelled out an indiscernible comment. I thought nothing of it at first since I live on a main street in a city with many people. However, this man drove by me four more times, each time yelling something. The last two times he drove by, he swerved to the side of the road that I was walking on and asked me if I would like to go for a ride with him. The first time he asked me I replied, "No thank you, I am fine with walking." The second time I told him if he didn't leave me alone that I would call the Police. I took out my phone to get ready to call and walked briskly away and he finally drove away for the last time. I live close to where prostitutes work but that does not merit his disrespectful behavior. Some perverts just need to know when to quit and leave girls alone.
I used to love to run on the Greenline Trail near where I lived in Memphis. The only creepy thing was that it wound right alongside the county jail. On this particular day, not many people were out on the trail, and as I ran by the jail, I was completely alone. Out of the blue, I heard a voice coming from the jail: "Hey girl! I see you! Hey! I see you gettin' right for the summer! Yeah, you! I see you! Hey girl!" I tried so hard to ignore the faceless voice, but all I wanted to do was scream "Shut the hell up!" I couldn't manage to respond at all, and I was so creeped out by this, I never ran that way again. Inappropriate.
I was out with my boyfriend and a couple of his friends at local ski resort bar in Blue Mountain. We were dancing and have a great time, when some brute of a guy walked past me and slapped my butt extremely hard. I turned around and screamed, "don't fucking touch me!" At this point my boyfriend clued in, grabbed an empty beer bottle and raised it towards the offending individual. (I realized this may not have been the right move, but hell, it got the point across) What the guy said next actually blew my mind, "hey man, I'm just looking to have a good time, no offense." He apologized to my boyfriend, not me, as if I was HIS property. My boyfriend then told him to apologize to me and probably yelled some other obscenities his way before the guy ran off with his tail between his legs. I was fuming the entire night, to know that some guy thought he could use my butt, a complete stranger's butt, as his enjoyment for the night. I'm glad he was thoroughly made a fool of.
I have accepted that public transportation in my city is less than ideal, but my job is good and I don't have a car, so I deal with it.
On the way home, I noticed a guy injecting what I hope was insulin into his belly with a large syringe. He was doing it with some difficulty and the syringe was waving around. I was horrified that he had a needle on the bus and couldn't take my eyes off it. He took this to mean that I found him irresistible. He handed me a slip of paper with his name and phone number on it and said,"call me sometime." I nodded and slipped it in my bag, not knowing what to do.
A few stops later, he sat in the seat next to mine, asked what time it was, and touched the arm closest to him when I answered. As a person who needed my front of the bus seat more than I did got on the bus, I moved back a bit and sat next to a small girl, but the guy didn't let up. I got off the bus at my stop and noticed he did as well. He followed me halfway down the block toward my house, not riding his bike quickly, just fast enough to keep up with my gait. He finally got bored and turned around and left, but I was shaken the rest of the way home. Does being a woman mean I have to put up with that kind of s— just by taking the bus?

As the late-running longshot Cleburne tried to hold off the later-running longshot Smart Cover in the final stages of Saturday night's $173,250 Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs, it was a can't-lose situation for trainer Dale Romans and owner Donegal Racing.
They have both horses. The 34-1 Cleburne's neck victory over his 26-1 stablemate might have produced the larger exacta, however, though the $500 payoff for $2 appeared low given the odds.
"It's a great feeling," the Churchill-based Romans said. "Coming to the wire, you could see them both running. They're running with the right kind of style. They both want to go the distance. They want to go long. It gives us a lot to get excited about."
You think?
After the race, Donegal founder Jerry Crawford orchestrated a cheer from the partnership's jammed-packed winner's circle, "1-2-3, Derby exacta!"
Romans doesn't discourage such jubilance. Asked when it was time to start thinking about next May, as in the 140th Kentucky Derby, he said, "We're thinking about May right now."
With the triumph, Cleburne gets his entry fees paid to the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Nov. 2 at Santa Anita, along with a $10,000 travel stipend. Crawford, the former vice chairman of the Breeders' Cup who is no longer on the board, said he was hoping for a dead-heat because, "I want to take both these horses to the Breeders' Cup and only pay no fees."
Romans said Cleburne probably will train up to the Juvenile, but Smart Cover could run back in Keeneland's Grade I Breeders' Futurity "to try to get another golden ticket."
The Romans' horses also are the first points-earners on the 2014 Road to the Kentucky Derby, with Cleburne picking up 10 points and Smart Cover 4. (Tapiture earned 2 and Ride On Curlin 1.)
In Cleburne's only prior start, the son of the late stallion Dixie Union closed to win a mile, 70-yard turf race at Ellis Park. Smart Cover also won an Ellis maiden turf race after finishing fifth last June at Churchill at 4-1/2 furlongs.
In the Grade III Iroquois, Cleburne rallied from eighth, Smart Cover ninth behind the fairly stern pace set by longshot Laddie Boy with prompting from Mountaineer Juvenile winner Rise Up, the only horse who'd even been in a prior stakes.
Cleburne finished the 1 1/16 miles in 1:45.65 and paid $70.20 to win as the second longest shot in the field of 10 2-year-olds.
"He's got a big future," said jockey Corey Lanerie. "Dale takes his time with his babies, and they're not really geared up for their first couple of races. But this horse is 2-for-2 and he's got a lot of promise."
Jockey Shaun Bridgmohan said of Smart Cover, "The more I rode him, the more he gave to me. He just ran out of ground."
It was another neck back to Tapiture, who was barely the second choice over favored Ride On Curlin, who weakened in the final eighth-mile. Ride On Curlin earned some fame because, after setting an Ellis Park track record at 5-1/2 furlongs on July 13, Louisville owner Dan Dougherty turned down a $1 million offer for his $25,000 yearling purchase. But the colt subsequently missed some training and likely workouts with a tender shin before attempting two turns for the first time.
"We asked a lot of him today," newly inducted Hall of Fame jockey Calvin Borel said of Ride On Curlin. "He took me out there good and to the quarter pole, but then he had enough. Believe me, he's a racehorse and if we do right by the horse, he'll show up. He'll be just fine."
With an eighth-mile to go and Tapiture in seeming command, it looked like owner Ron Winchell and trainer Steve Asmussen were going to sweep both 2-year-old stakes, as their filly Untapable had captured the $168,150, Grade II Pocahontas by a half-length over 8-5 favorite Stonetastic.
To show how big a day it was for Donegal, the Iowa-based syndicate's first big horse was Paddy O'Prado, the Grade I winner who was third in the 2010 Derby. Paddy O'Prado is a half-brother to Untapable, both being bred by Winchell.
Pocahontas: Untapable, ridden by Rosie Napravnik for trainer Steve Asmussen, at first resisted being in fourth behind a modest pace but came flying through the stretch after getting to the outside. The daughter of the Winchell-campaigned stallion Tapit covered the 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.38, more than a second faster than the Iroquois. She paid $13.60 as the third choice in the field of eight 2-year-old fillies.
Untapable won her debut June 20 at 5-1/2 furlongs at Churchill, but was scratched from Saratoga's Adirondack Stakes after developing a touch of colic. The Pocahontas, whose winner received the free entry to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, became Plan B, which she aced.
"She was awesome," Napravnik said.
Ack Ack: Pants On Fire, the 2011 Louisiana Derby winner who finished ninth in the Kentucky Derby while suffering a bleeding episode, had a far better experience in his return to Louisville. The 5-year-old son of Jump Start ran down favored Taptowne in the stretch for a 2-3/4-length victory under Paco Lopez in the $110,700 Grade III handicap.
Pants On Fire, owned by George and Lori Hall and trained by Kelly Breen, powered the mile in a stakes-record 1:33.78, just missing Infrattini's track-record 1:33.31 set last fall. He's now 8-3-4 in 22 starts, earning $1,197,635.
Locust Grove: Lanerie also won the $111,400 Locust Grove, as 8-5 favorite Flashy American wore down Wine Princess for a 1-1/4-length triumph, covering 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.53. Kenny McPeek trains the 4-year-old daughter of Flashy Bull for owner Preston Stables.

Teresa Giudice hasn't been in prison for a week, but things are looking up already.
Just days after entering Danbury Federal Correction Institute in Danbury, Connecticut, Giudice, 42, has earned an early release date.
The Bureau of Prisons website's "inmate locator" feature now lists the Real Housewives of New Jersey star's release date as Feb. 5, 2016, a few months shy of her original 15-month sentence.
Giudice's luck in real estate isn't going as well, though. The asking price for her six-bedroom, custom-built New Jersey mansion dropped another $500,000 this week.
Originally listed at $3.999 million in September 2014, the price was cut by $500,000 in November, and has fallen again this week – to a relatively affordable $2.999 million.
