The parade route will end at the Reviewing Stand at Beach 94 Street. Immediately following the parade, there will be a public post-reception at Saint Rose of Lima Church where the winners of the Best Bands and Marching Units, as well as winners of the 500 Club 50/50 and Scholarship Awards will be announced.
While the parade is in honor of Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland, it is as a celebration of the Irish culture and the triumphs over great adversities of its people. In fact, the notion of a parade or any public display of Irish culture was an interdiction in all of Ireland. The Irish were forbidden to speak in their own native Gaelic language, own their own land, they were not allowed to be educated except in secrecy behind "Hedgerow Schools" and Catholic priests were hunted
for the handsome price their heads would yield. The forced emigration and diaspora of the Irish to foreign lands where they were met with "Irish Need Not Apply" emboldened them more to persevere and prevail.
In many ways, our parade's humble beginnings mirror that of the Irish people's triumphs over much adversities. The story of our parade is secured in Rockaway-lore. Although the newspaper of the day ridiculed the parade, referring to it as "Sullivan's Follies", Jimmy set out, with his mother, sister, brothers, a fife, a drum, a makeshift banner and Tom Touhey in tow and began a legacy that continues to boast the distinction of being the 2nd largest parade in the State of New York.
Each year, the committee of fifty members under the leadership of parade President Mike Benn, vote to honor certain individuals who have distinguished themselves through the endeavors of their lives. They hail from the height of Labor, Criminal Justice, Politics, Civil Service, Medicine, Sports, Banking, Civic Activism, Education, Music and Journalism; areas in which the Irish are noted to excell. They are: Thomas Ryan, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 74, S.E.I.U., who will lead our 31st parade as Grand Marshal; former 100 Precinct Captain Inspector Michael Morley will march as our James Conway Sullivan Gael of the Year; and our Honorary Grand Marshals are the honorable Councilman Joseph P. Addabbo and Kelly Casey, Deputy Bureau Chief of the Crimes Against Children Bureau of the Brooklyn D.A.'s office.
Our Deputy Grand Marshals include a roster of locals who continue to make us proud on a daily basis. They are: Ed Shevlin, III, Ed O'Hare, John McManus, Anne McGovern, Erin Baumann, Dr. Timothy Rohrs, Mary Rooney, John Duddy and Thomas Flood. This parade also marks the last that we will have the beloved Monsignor Geraghty and Father Peter Gillen in service to our community. Monsignor Geraghty's eloquent masses each year have been extraordinary in setting the tone for the past eighteen parade seasons.
His presence each year, either watching, marching, or riding on the back of a Harley donned in an Aran sweater and Cobeen. Father Peter Gillen, always personifying the spirit of Failte as he welcomed parade participants on the steps of Saint Rose, will be sorely missed. Both of these spiritual icons will be presented with a special Community Service Award.
Of course, parades and politics go together like the fife and drum and marching with us this year along with Mayor Bloomberg will be Diarmuid Scully, Mayor of Limerick and Tim O'Connor, Deputy Consul General, who will be hosting a reception on the eve of our parade at the Irish Consulate for five City Councilmembers and invited guests. Also expected to march is Christine Quinn, the newly elected NYC Council Speaker, elected officials, John Dunleavy, Chairman of the Fifth Avenue parade, and former Grand Marshals Mae O'Driscoll and Cathy Miscelli, this year's Grand Marshal in the Brooklyn parade. According to Parade President Mike Benn, " It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our 31st annual parade. If you are unable to attend, you can still watch our delayed web-cast or on An Suil na Gael on Public Access TV."
***Rockaway will be treated to a special sporting event as the Irish Rugby team competes against the Rockaway Fish Heads on the green at Riis Park on the morning of the parade.
***Deputy Grand Marshal John Duddy, an Irish Boxing legend, will compete with James Moore for the Welter-Weight Championship on March 16th at Madison Square Garden.
***Congratulations to the Benn Family on the engagement of their son Brendan to Valerie Frank. The romantic Mr. Benn hired a horse-drawn carriage through Central Park where he proposed in front of the ice-skating rink.
***Congratulations to Deputy Grand Marshal Ed Shevlin III on his engagement to the vivacious Kathryn Daly. The couple will be married at Saint Frances de Sales on April 30.
***Happy Birthday to...all of you!: Mary Dever Kelly, SR. Peggy, Tom Lynch, Brenda Flynn and Ben Lenihan! See you....at the parade!

E Commerce: Good Bye To Fixed Pricing?
Coca-Cola Co. has a bold idea: Why should the price of a can of Coke be the same all the time? Would people pay more for a cola fix on a sweltering summer day than they would on a cold, rainy one? The beverage giant may soon find out when it begins experimenting with "smart" vending machines that hook up to Coke's internal computer network, letting the company monitor inventory in distant locales--and change prices on the fly.
Sure, consumers might balk if Coke's prices were suddenly raised. But they also might be persuaded to buy a cold soda on a chilly day if the vending machine flashed a special promotion, say 20 cents off--the digital equivalent of the blue-light special. Says Sameer Dholarka, director of pricing solutions for Austin-based software maker Trilogy Systems: "List pricing is basically irrelevant."
Forget sticker prices. Forget sales clerks, too. There's a revolution brewing in pricing that promises to profoundly alter the way goods are marketed and sold. In the future, marketers will offer special deals--tailored just for you, just for the moment--on everything from theater tickets to bank loans to camcorders.
Behind this sweeping change is the wiring of the economy. The Internet, corporate networks, and wireless setups are linking people, machines, and companies around the globe--and connecting sellers and buyers as never before. This is enabling buyers to quickly and easily compare products and prices, putting them in a better bargaining position. At the same time, the technology allows sellers to collect detailed data about customers' buying habits, preferences--even spending limits--so they can tailor their products and prices. This raises hopes of a more efficient marketplace.
Today, the first signs of this new fluid pricing can be found mostly on the Internet. Online auctions allow cybershoppers to bid on everything from collectibles to treadmills. Electronic exchanges, on the other hand, act as middlemen, representing a group of sellers of one type of product or service--say, long-distance service--that is matched with buyers.
The pricing revolution, though, goes beyond the Net. Companies also are creating private networks, or "extranets," that link them with their suppliers and customers. These systems make it possible to get a precise handle on inventory, costs, and demand at any given moment--and adjust prices instantly. In the past, there was a significant cost associated with changing prices, known as the "menu cost." For a company with a large product line, it could take months for price adjustments to filter down to distributors, retailers, and salespeople. Streamlined networks reduce menu cost and time to near zero.
This will clearly benefit consumers. Already, many are finding bargains at the hundreds of online auction sites that have cropped up. And on the Net, it's a cinch to check out product information and compare prices--thanks to a growing army of shopping helpers called "bots". That, says Erik Brynjolfsson, a management-science professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "shifts bargaining power to consumers."
But that doesn't mean sellers get a raw deal. Businesses can gather more detailed information than ever before about their customers and run it through powerful database systems to glean insights into buying behavior. While the concept of point-of-sale promotions, such as Coke's, is not new, in a wired world, it takes on a whole new dimension. Suddenly, marketers can communicate directly with prospective buyers, offering them targeted promotions on an individual basis. Says Yanni Bakos, a visiting professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management: "It's like an arms race, where you give a more powerful weapon to both sides."
As buyers and sellers do battle in the electronic world, the struggle should result in prices that more closely reflect their true market value. "The future of electronic commerce is an implicit one-to-one negotiation between buyer and seller," says Jerry Kaplan, founder of Onsale Inc., a Net auction site. "You will get an individual spot price on everything."
The notion of fixed costs is a relatively recent development. A couple of hundred years ago, when a person went to the cobbler to order a pair of shoes, they negotiated the price face-to-face. It wasn't until the arrival of railroads and canal systems, which allowed products to be distributed widely, that uniform prices came into being.
The Net brings us full circle. "We've suddenly made the interaction cost so cheap, there's no pragmatic reason not to have competitive bidding on everything," says Stuart I. Feldman, director of IBM's Institute for Advanced Commerce based in Hawthorne, N.Y. Someday, you might haggle over the price of just about anything, the way you would negotiate the price of a carpet in a Turkish bazaar. Except it's likely to take place on an electronic exchange, and it may be a computer bidding against another computer on your behalf.
WIN-WIN. For a preview of what's to come, just look to the financial markets. Take the NASDAQ stock market, or Instinet's even more automated system, after which many Net entrepreneurs are modeling their businesses. NASDAQ, for example, uses a system of dealers, or market makers, who trade shares of stock for brokers or individuals. The dealers are linked by an electronic network that matches buy orders with sell orders, arriving at the value of a stock for that moment in time.
Like NASDAQ dealers, the new Internet market makers must set up mechanisms for clearing transactions and for making sure that both buyers and sellers are satisfied. As electronic exchanges are established to trade everything from advertising space to spare parts, the true market value of products will emerge. "All of this brings you closer and closer to the efficient market," says Robert MacAvoy, president of Easton Consulting in Stamford, Conn.
The most widely used form of this today is online auctions. In the world of virtual gavels, Kaplan's Onsale is the kingpin. The Web site runs seven live auctions a week where people outbid one another for computer gear, electronics equipment, even steaks. Onsale buys surplus or distressed goods from companies at fire-sale prices so they can weather low bids. And customer love it. Grant Crowley, president of Crowley's Yacht Yard Inc. in Chicago, bought 14 old-model desktop PCs for his business via Onsale. He figures he saved 40% over what he would have paid in a store. "It's a great deal for people in small businesses like mine," Crowley says.
So far, the lure of a bargain has proved powerful: More than 4 million bids have been placed since Onsale opened its doors three years ago. It sold $115 million worth of goods last year, up nearly 300% from 1996. "Suddenly, consumers are active participants in price-setting," says Onsale founder Kaplan. "It's infinite economic democracy."
For every couple dozen online auctions, though, there is an entrepreneur applying the new Net economics in ways that will ultimately transform entire industries--from telecommunications to energy. These companies are setting up exchanges for trading things such as phone minutes, gas supplies, and electronic components, a market Forrester Research projects will grow to $52 billion by 2002. Their approach is such a departure from the past that analyst Vernon Keenan of Zona Research Inc. says they represent the "third wave" of commerce on the Net--companies that are moving beyond simple marketing and online order-taking to creating entirely new electronic marketplaces.
EQUAL FOOTING. Who are these trailblazers? Some are established companies, while others are born of the Net. But they all share a radical new vision of electronic commerce. "This is the model of the future," says Eric Baty, business-information manager at Southern California Gas Co.
You might not think of a stodgy utility as being in the vanguard of cyberspace, but that's exactly where Southern California Gas is. A couple of years ago, it saw an opportunity in the dovetailing of two sweeping trends--the deregulation of the energy industry, which lets customers shop for energy suppliers the way they shop for long-distance phone service, and the rise of the Web. So, last fall, it launched Energy Marketplace, a Web-based exchange that lets customers shop for the best gas prices.
The system has something for everyone. Small and midsize gas providers list their prices on the exchange. That lowers their marketing costs and gives them access to a broader market--putting them on equal footing with big energy suppliers. Customers, mostly businesses, save money by shopping for the best price, or locking in long-term deals when prices are low. And Southern California Gas, as a distributor, increases its volume of business and collects a subscription fee from gas providers that use the exchange. In coming months, SoCalGas will offer residential customers the same opportunity and expand the service to include electricity.
Does it work? Using Energy Marketplace, Sumiden Wire Products Corp. in Stockton, Calif., found a new supplier, Intermarket Trading Co., and now saves $500 a month--about 20% of its $3,000 a month energy bill. "They're cheaper than the other guys," says Wayne Manna, plant manager at Sumiden. "It's much simpler and easier than before."
Energy Marketplace is typical of the early electronic bazaars. Like the pork bellies or wheat traded in the financial markets, the first goods to be bartered in the new electronic markets are commodities. Whether No.2 steel or No.2 pencils, price--not features or how something looks, feels, or fits--is the determining factor in a sale. And if the commodity happens to be perishable--such as airline seats, oranges, or electricity--the Net is even more compelling: Suppliers have to get rid of their inventory fast or lose the sale.
Alex Mashinsky sees similar qualities in long-distance phone minutes. A former commodities trader, Mashinsky's New York-based ArbiNet (short for Arbitrage Networks) is building an exchange for routing phone calls over the lowest-cost networks--on the fly.
Most telecommunications carriers have built massive networks to handle peak loads. The problem is, much of the capacity goes unused. AT&T, for example, typically uses just 20% of its global network capacity. In a fiercely competitive market that has seen margins erode, "that excess capacity is becoming extremely sensitive," says Mashinsky. "It can be the difference between making money and losing money." ArbiNet's exchange lets carriers optimize their capacity by accepting lower-cost calls over their networks during off-peak hours. There are other companies that broker long-distance minutes. But ArbiNet is the only one attempting it in real time.
The ArbiNet Clearing Network works this way: Network carriers, such as AT&T, supply information about their network availability and price at a given time. Carrier customers send calls through ArbiNet's clearinghouse--say, a phone call from New York to Hong Kong that must travel over secure lines. ArbiNet's powerful computers and phone switches match the request with the lowest-cost carrier for that particular call, check to make sure the capacity is in fact available, and route the call--all in a millisecond. "We arbitrage the capacity available at any given time," says Mashinsky.
ArbiNet's focus today is on the wholesale, or carrier-to-carrier, business. But Mashinsky thinks that two years from now, the market will be ripe for consumers. A "smart" phone, for example, could automatically check for the lowest carrier on each call that is placed. Such a scenario could be unnerving to the giant phone companies. "The big carriers don't want to do this," says Mashinsky. "It would undercut their prices."
Indeed, big businesses are sensitive about falling prices. Some entrenched companies already are fighting the idea of electronic markets that make it easy for customers to compare products and prices. Houston-based energy giant Enron Corp., for example, last month filed suit against SoCalGas and its Energy Marketplace. Enron, which plans to enter the California market, alleges that Energy Marketplace unfairly favors local suppliers that are better known. SoCalGas calls the suit a blocking tactic.
BEYOND SURPLUS. Other big players are embracing the Net, but half-heartedly--using it to dispose of surplus goods while protecting margins on their core products. Not that surplus inventory is anything to sneeze at. Chicago-based FastParts Inc. and FairMarket Inc. in Woburn, Mass., operate thriving exchanges where computer electronics companies swap excess parts. All told, U.S. industries generate some $18 billion in excess inventory a year--around 10% of all finished goods, says Anne Perlman, CEO of Moai Technologies Inc., a Net startup that makes software for creating online bartering sites. "Excess and obsolete equipment is a big and painful problem," she says.
Or a huge opportunity. Perlman knows firsthand about surplus goods. Before joining Moai, she ran Tandem Computer Inc.'s personal computer business. When Intel Corp.'s 386 microprocessor came out, she found herself with a boatload of earlier-generation 286 chips that were instantly obsolete. Afraid that she might have to write off the inventory as a loss, Perlman made some calls and found a customer willing to buy the stock--though she was left with the nagging feeling that she could have gotten a better price. Now, at Moai, along with co-founders Deva Hazarika and Frank Kang, she sells a $100,000-plus package to companies that want to run their own auctions to generate revenue from aging merchandise.
Most of the Net pioneers had to build their own systems--a time-consuming and costly task. The availability of off-the-shelf software packages from Moai and others should help jump-start more electronic exchanges.
"THIRD WAVE." That could pave the way for fluid pricing to reach beyond commodity products and surplus goods to popular, even premium-priced items. Electronic markets could be just as effective selling unique items, such as a Van Gogh painting or a company's core product line. "The move away from surplus goods to primary goods will be the real thrust of the third wave," says Zona's Keenan.
There's just one snag: When anyone on the Net can easily compare prices and features, some high-margin products could fall in price. And a strong brand name alone may not be enough to make a premium price tag stick. Some branded products may even prove to be interchangeable. You might not trust your phone service to an outfit you have never heard of on the basis of price alone. But you might be willing to swap among AT&T, MCI, or Sprint for a better deal. And do you really care if your credit card is from MasterCard or Visa? "There's a commoditization at the top level of brands," contends Jay Walker, CEO of Priceline, a new Web service that lets consumers name their price.
One way companies can respond is by cooking up creative ploys to distinguish their products. That could include personalizing products or offering loyalty programs that reward frequent customers. "Inventiveness in marketing is going to be very important in this world where people can go out and compete on price," says IBM's Feldman. That's happening in online brokerage services, a cutthroat market. Thanks to Internet brokers, trading fees are already rock-bottom. Now, companies such as E*trade are mulling loyalty programs that reward frequent traders.
There are other ways to sidestep the effects of the ultra-efficient Net market. Just look at the airline industry. It was one of the first industries to go online, starting with American Airlines Inc.'s Sabre automated-reservation system in the 1960s. When other airlines followed suit, American introduced the frequent-flier program to keep customers loyal.
Three decades after Sabre, airlines still manage to get many passengers to pay rich fares. The secret: knowing whom to gouge--in this case, the business customer who has to get somewhere and is less price-sensitive. Airlines also have perfected the science of yield management, concocting complicated pricing schemes that defy comparison. The price for an airline seat can change several times an hour, making it virtually certain that the person sitting next to you paid a different fare. "Airlines are using the Internet to raise the average price of a fare," says Ken Orton, CEO of Preview Travel, an online ticketing site.
Now, airlines are tapping into the Net--but mainly as a way to sell unfilled seats. They routinely send out E-mail alerts of last-minute fare specials. And several major airlines have signed up with Priceline, which lets consumers specify when and where they want to travel, and name their price. Priceline then forwards the bids to participating airlines, which can choose to accept the request or not. The company makes its money on the spread between the bid and the lower airline price. "It empowers the buyer," says Walker, "but also the seller. They can plug in demand to empty flights."
As long as Priceline is clearly targeted at the leisure--not the business--traveler, airlines are willing to go along. "It's not for frequent fliers but to get people out of cars without affecting the airlines' retail price structure," says Walker.
In the end, such tactics may simply delay the inevitable march of the Internet. And the truth is, Net-based markets may not be such a bad thing for sellers. They produce a price that fairly reflects demand. Some companies may be surprised by the results.
Look at AucNet, an online auction for used cars. Dealers and wholesalers flock to AucNet's Web site to buy and sell some 6,000 cars a month. Surprisingly, sellers fetch more for their used cars than they might on a physical lot. That's partly because of the larger audience they get on the Net. But dealers also have come to trust the quality ratings that AucNet inspectors assign to each car after physically examining them, and they are willing to pay more for that seal of approval. Moai's Perlman has seen similar results in other online marketplaces. Most of the time, she says, "the market will bid a better price than the vendor was expecting."
Or at least, the right price. So why fight the perfect market?

散还是不散 这是个问题
摘选自 businessweek http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jan2006/tc20060101_234594.htm
Time Warner: No Disassembly Required
Why breaking up the media giant is the wrong thing to do -- though spinning off its cable systems would be beneficial.
Much is being written about whether or not media giant Time Warner (TWX ) should be broken into pieces in response to raider-cum-greenmailer-cum-hedge-fund manager Carl Icahn's demands. Icahn and his supporters, who together own only about 3% of the stock, say that a breakup would boost the value of Time Warner's shares, which -- like those of most major media companies -- have languished for several years (see BW Online, 12/21/05, "AOL-Google: Who Gets What").
I thought that Icahn's proposal would be quickly dismissed for the 1970s-like greenmail attempt it is: "You pay me off some way or another, and I'll quietly go away." But then a revisionist Steve Case, the America Online founder who merged his company with Time Warner and who bears much of the responsibility for its subsequent poor integration, joined the Icahn chorus. At that point, I concluded a further observation or two might be helpful to this ongoing debate.
GOING TOO FAR. There is a solid case to be made for some limited structural changes at Time Warner, and I fully agree with Icahn that Time Warner should spin off its cable-TV systems, which are facing strong competition from satellite-TV services and soon-to-be upgraded telecom lines, and daunting technology challenges from competing broadband platforms. Time Warner's continued holding of its cable systems alongside its valuable content assets flies in the face of the long-term trends currently diminishing the value of all "distribution" assets encountering this withering competition.
But any further breakup of Time Warner's vast and relatively well integrated TV, film, and publishing holdings would be going too far. That's because the future of the media business will be driven more and more -- not less and less -- by the large integrated companies. Even today, 80% of the video content viewed in the U.S. is controlled by five large media conglomerates: Disney (DIS ), NBC Universal, News Corp. (NWS ), Time Warner, and Viacom (VIA.B ).
NBC Universal, News Corp., and Viacom, however, are not subject to greenmailer whim, because they each have a controlling shareholder: General Electric (GE ), Rupert Murdoch, and Sumner Redstone, respectively. And Disney recently bought immunity, of sorts, through its stand-down agreement last year with Roy Disney (see BW Online, 9/30/05, "How Eisner Saved the Magic Kingdom"). Time Warner is the only one of these giants not in control of its destiny.
DIVERSE, COMPLEX, AND CHANGING. The five largest media combines are similarly constructed, admittedly, in each case, with some nonstrategic assets lying around. For example, Viacom still owns a billboard business. But that's a common problem for companies built through a series of stock acquisitions, where for tax reasons you have to buy everything the predecessor company owned. Yet because of the absence of a controlling shareholder, Time Warner is the only media giant facing huge challenges in the crucial area of building long-term shareholder value. It's currently vulnerable to Icahn's short-sighted and selfish demands, just as it was vulnerable to Case's semi-bear hug, which largely prompted the Time Warner-AOL merger.
Media is a sum-of-the-parts industry, unlike, say, the oil, aircraft, and automobile industries. It is by nature and by design a "portfolio" businesss, ideally serving multiple audiences through multiple distribution channels with multiple technologies. Since the media landscape continues to dramatically evolve, it's an industry which best builds shareholder value when it can do so over the long term, with an array of complementary, integrated, and -- in their own unique ways -- hedged assets.
Audiences are diverse, complex, and changing -- and the best media companies are similarly so. Because audience-based technology also continues to evolve in seismic and long-term fashion, the great media companies must be able to make long-term plans and investments around these technologies.
BYPASSING THE MIDDLEMAN. If a company is badly managed -- which is absolutely not the case at Time Warner, in the able hands of Chief Executive Richard Parsons and Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Bewkes -- then change the management. That happened at Disney with the toppling of Michael Eisner. But don't override the industry trends, which are being unassailably embraced by Time Warner's four major competitors.
To blow up this company now -- when audiences are finally able to be served as discrete communities of interest, and are reachable across a wide array of distribution platforms -- is uninformed, short-sighted, and not in the interests of all the shareholders. Furthermore, if Time Warner gets blown up, then no public media company CEO who's not in a control situation will ever feel comfortable making the right long-term strategic and investment decisions, because he'll always believe that there's another greenmailer just a phone call or headline away.
Extreme competition is under way in the media distribution business, which includes cable, satellite, and telecom networks. New technologies, such as the Internet, favor media content owners instead of media content distributors. That's because media companies can sell their wares directly to consumers over the high-speed Web, bypassing the cable, telecom, or satellite middleman.
INTEGRATION, NOT DESTRUCTION. In the equity markets, value is shifting away from the cable companies and the regional Bell operating companies, or RBOCs, to the big content and Internet portal companies such as Google (GOOG ) and Yahoo! (YHOO ) (see BW Online, 12/27/05, "How Time Warner Clicks With Google"). Because of the quality, breadth, and relatively successful integration of its content assets, Time Warner, with its cable systems spun off into a separately capitalized entity, would be a perfectly positioned media company for the next decade.
Spin off Time Warner's cable systems? You have my full support. Better integrate the company's print assets into the Internet age? For sure. Continue to unlock the value of AOL? Yes -- and shareholders should be thrilled with the recent joint venture with Google regarding ad sales, which put a very high valuation (again) on AOL.
But blow up the entire company because a group that owns less than 3% of the stock wants a "quick turn," and because the revisionist Steve Case is being, well, revisionist? No way.
I'm afraid I can only agree to part of your view points here.To wit,the foolhardy and downright wrongheaded pitch of blowing up the entire Time Warner Empire.That will be a corporate strategy disaster for sure.You got a real point here in noting that when it comes to media biz,bigger corps are taking lion's shares of the pie back home.But when you argue that the value more or less pivots on media content owner,i.e.internet portals etc,I will have to turn dissident.I don't think AOL will turn out to be the tour de force where Time Warner's salvation will lie.That's hardly the case.If you think internet content provider frenzy was monstrously lucrative and will remain so in the coming years,you'd be dead wrong.Advising Time warner to catch up with that once resplendent ride of web portal cashing-in is to tell someone to catch a train that's already left.BTW,it's a train nowhere-bound.

Guest Blogger Dr. Andrew Angelino on AIDS, Russia, and Collaboration in Medicine
Dinah, ClinkShrink, & Roy produce Shrink Rap: a blog by Psychiatrists for Psychiatrists. A place to talk; no one has to listen. All patient vignettes are confabulated; the psychiatrists, however, are mostly real. --Topics include psychotherapy, humor, depression, bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenia, medications, ethics, psychopharmacology, forensic and correctional psychiatry, psychology, mental health, chocolate, and emotional support ducks. Don't ask. (It's not Shrink Wrap.)
Labels: HIV, purple fuzz, Russia, societal trends
Question for the doctor? Doctor, in Russia, is dissent still a mental illness?
wv = forizes. They went through three izes before they came up with this captcha?!
What's the Russian word for "smug red-baiting"? (I kid rob l.)
Seriously, if there's ANY specialty a patient needs to be able to say "No, thanks" to and walk away, it's this one. I pissed off my pdoc a couple weeks ago because I self-medded with copious amounts of booze and pills over the course of a week to get through a "little" hoarding crisis. Mission accomplished, plumbing repairs made, I walked away from that little toy. He was practically seething, but he's been trying to get me on Atypical antipsychotics for months now.
Who's crazy here?
(Cont'd from #2)
As for EMRs, suffice to say I don't want this pdoc's calls about what he believes to be my "condition" in my EMR.
That's just one reason I pay in cash, dear.
Anon, if you're paying in cash, why are you seeing a shrink you don't like?
It may be next to impossible to find somebody decent in-network, but when you're paying for it yourself it's not usually difficult to find a doctor who is at least nice.
I'd venture to say that truly great shrinks, like truly great teachers, are those rare people you're lucky to ever find once.. but when you're paying cash it's not nearly as difficult to find somebody who won't try to shove contraindicated drugs down your throat. (I'm assuming that this is because they know that you're paying them, while doctors who take insurance don't get paid for sessions half the time so they end up relying on drug company kickbacks, but I'm sure there are other factors that play into it too.)
Maggie -
I'm on my way out the door, don't worry. Next appt, the pdoc and I will seriously discuss (because my LCSW/therapist intervened with him) appropriate anxiety management options going forward.
(If my LCSW hadn't intervened, the pdoc and I would have parted ways by now).
If this session is as unfruitful as recent ones (and that does NOT mean "If he doesn't write me a 'scrip...!") I'm out. He's only doing med-checks, really, and my Primary care MD is willing to prescribe Celexa @40mg, so....
My LCSW/therapist, who I trust, advised me against making any decisions at the point I discussed the pdoc with hi
Yeah, ignore last 'graf... I was editing.
Dr. Angelino works in an AIDS clinic in a hospital. Please take this discussion somewhere else.
He's trying to sell concepts like "EMR integration" and "shrink knows best" by telling a shocking, sad tale of AIDS and drug abuse.
It's manipulative.
It also uses AIDS pts as an emotional prop. I'm not impressed.
The posts here are just plain rude. Not a one of them has anything to do with the guest blogger's subject.
Thanks Dr. Andrew Angelino for a very interesting post. I agree that integration of health care services, with the patient's permission, can help in complex medical cases. Where a team is assembled in advance like yours and works together on a particular disease, it seems most efficient.
Dinah: I feel you are still allowing posts that are rude and offensive, and seriously off topic.
Sunny CA:
All three of us are moderating as we can.
So far, I've let in everything. What was rude? A little off topic--well, seems it's par for the course for a blog.
I don't want rude, but I don't think there's a way of having a discussion if we just take the voices singing the same song, and I'm okay with vaguely edgy.
I also don't quite have it in me to set up a list of criteria and try to figure out which side of the line everything falls on. So it's left to the whim of whichever Shrink Rapper gets there first. And my bar is fairly high-- don't call anyone an idiot, a little repetition-- well, I'm a shrink, we're used to that--
So what got through that troubled you?

" Three words, AVOID THIS PLACE! All I can say is the woman owner of this place is a scam artist. If you use the kitchen at all, she will tell you that you need to pay $2. She will then lie and say all hostels will be getting rid of their kitchens so we have to pay. In the morning, she yelled at me that the kitchen was messy, but it wasn't my mess! There were 2 other people that cooked in there. She was the rudest hostess I've ever met. I couldn't get out of there fast enough! And filthy bathrooms "- anonim

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Reflex Edition Wii
- Publisher: Activision
- Release Date: Nov 10, 2009
- Also On: Mobile, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Unfortunately, Reflex Edition on Wii just doesn't cut it as a Call of Duty branded game or as a top-tier Wii first-person shooter. The framerate is jumpy, the pointer tracking needs some serious polish, and while most of the elements of COD4 are included, none of them are given enough fine-tuning to truly excel.
The expertly scripted and intensely exciting campaign is just as entertaining as it was two years ago on other systems, and even the occasional lapses in visual fidelity and control precision can't keep it from being a must-play for Wii shooter fans.
This is still a really great game, but it's unable to truly surmount all of the difficulties that Wii puts on an FPS. If you only play one FPS on the Wii, this should be it, but it's still got many of the same problems that the genre is known for on this system.
Even a clunky, hard-to-control Modern Warfare is better than no Modern Warfare, and Reflex may be fun for Wii owners who haven't played – or seen – another version of the game. Ultimately, however, Reflex is proof that if there's a way to make an FPS work on the Wii, no one has found it yet.
Treyarch had its work cut out for it in bringing a high-definition smash hit like Call of Duty 4 to the Wii, but the team really pulled it off.
It manages to pack in everything the original had, and the online side of things works extremely well, with no issues in finding games or lag that I could find in the many games I played.
Call of Duty 4: Reflex Edition could have been an amazing game. With a proper port, this could have been a perfect complement to the previous iteration of the title. However, the port job feels like it was cheaply thrown together, and an unfortunately large amount gets lost in translation.
Modern Warfare may have finally found its way to the Wii, but I wish the original console controls had made the jump as well. Instead, Wii players get a game that forces heavy reliance on aim-assist (especially in multiplayer). The ultimate battle is with the controller, rather than the on-screen bad guys.
Although still passably entertaining much of the time, stood next to other shooters on the Wii it doesn't even come close to matching the look and feel of games designed specifically for the system.
Is this conversion of Modern Warfare worth the wait? Frankly, no. Wii owners were expecting a more polished game, though the well-known technical limitations of the Nintendo console, while this one comes with mediocre graphics and unresponsive controls.
And really, this is Call of Duty: MW once more, and except for some sketchy controls, you really can't go too far wrong. If you need to shoot somebody, and for some reason have that urge while only having access to a Wii (a problem which should probably be looked into further), this will scratch that itch.
Modern Warfare Reflex is a great adaptation and a really good game. It's true there is a difference between the visuals in this game and the original, but its gameplay remains the experience which have made so many players enjoy.
Think of it like this: the Wii-mote has already proven it can be a good FPS controller, so what's wrong in bringing a good FPS to Wii? Modern Warfare is still an excellent game, even when it's done "good enough" on weaker technology, and like it or not, Reflex fills a niche. Maybe there's a family that only owns a Wii, but with a dad who might enjoy something a little rougher than Mario Kart.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex may have more subtitles than it needs but it is a respectable port of one of the greatest first-person shooter experiences of our time.
Other than the SD graphics, variations on multiplayer, and pointer controls, this is still Modern Warfare. It's still the first game in the most popular series that this particular genre has ever seen. Not enough has changed about the game, for better or worse, to make a dent in that.
Call Of Duty: Reflex Edition, despite being equal to Modern Warfare (except for graphics) is a really good game, especially for the multiplayer component and a few new innovations.
Treyarch has managed to represent the intensity of Modern Warfare in one of the best shooters in Wii. If you couldn't play the original game, this adaptation is a must-have for you.
The arrival of Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex on the Wii console gives users the opportunity to play what is probably the most beautiful chapters of the entire saga. The single player campaign brings into our living rooms really memorable moments stuck to perfection in an epic story and exciting. Once ended, anyone with a console connected to the web will enjoy a better multiplayer ever developed. The only flaw worth mentioning can be found in a control system that requires a learning period and can not satisfy all fans of FPS classics.
But, if the only console you happen to own is a Wii then you owe it to yourself to check out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Reflex. Sure the graphics can't compare to the other versions, but somehow the developers have managed to squeeze everything else that was good into this Reflex edition.
Apart from a few technical issues and a gameplay that might be hard to master for many, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition proves to be a good product, whose qualities, very similar to the PS3, Xbox 360 e PC versions, will surely guarantee hours of fun to the whole Wii user base.
With a strong campaign and a rock-solid multiplayer that will keep you playing well into the new year, Reflex shames its competition and delivers a great FPS package. Developers, take note: this is how you do a Wii port.
Are you a Wii-gamer and looking for a good shooter? Don't wait any longer and buy this game, because right now there are no better shooter available on this console!
Some effort has gone into this ill-advised port, but it's still a pale shadow of the HD original.
Pelit (Finland)A great game on another platform. Modern Warfare looses much of its graphical glory on Wii and the point & click shooting style works much better with mouse & keyboard or with Smith & Wesson than what it does with Wiimote & nunchuck. With these deficits the game drops down to a mediocre experience. [Dec 2009]
Reflex is a very decent shooter on the Wii. The multiplayer is especially convincing. Pretty much all things you've experienced in the version on other consoles is present here, only the weak controls and bad graphics make the game much less of a classic compared to the original. Still, it's a little late but the release of this game on the Wii is a reason for owners of Nintendo's console to be happy.
This port isn't identical to its bigger brother, but it is damn close and that is commendable.
While Reflex still retains the familiar gameplay and gritty urban outlook on war that made the original game such a massive success, it's still difficult to recommend this severely downgraded port, even if the Wii was the only system available to players.
Nintendo PowerIt's been two years since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare dropped onto the PS3 and Xbox 360, making the Wii entry very late to the game. But Treyarch, the developer of the solid Call of Duty: World at War, has made it worth the wait. [Holiday 2009, p.85]
Reflex is Modern Warfare at its best. It's very much the same version that we saw on PS3 and XBox 360 two years ago, but set to be played with the nunchuk and the wiimote controllers. It's graphically amazing, with an outstanding sound and the same story that we enjoyed on the original version. It's a good option to expend your money if you're looking forward to buy the best FPS of this console.
The campaign is tired and played out for returning players, but for those who love Wii controls, the multiplayer is just as addicting.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Edition does have a few little niggles that bring the game down, but this is the best FPS on Wii and will have you hooked for hours on end, both online and offline.
Despite the downgraded visuals, the Reflex Edition of Modern Warfare lives up to its heritage with a strong campaign and multiplayer that will keep you up until sunrise.
Given the extra two years Treyarch had to squeeze every last drop of polish from the Wii, this is underwhelming visually. It looks okay for a Wii game - that's the dreaded caveat - but it's not even up there with Metroid Prime: Corruption. Having said that, Modern Warfare is still an excellent shooter packed with options and it should be a big player online so we can welcome it to the Wii family.
Nintendo GamerTechnical and control issues mean this is far from the best way to experience it. [Christmas 2009, p.46]
Taken as a whole, it's hard not to like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare -- Reflex Edition. The controls are solid and the presentation (while average) is decent enough not to detract from the performance.
It is a bit odd that Reflex was released two years after the fact. With so many people already playing Modern Warfare 2, it probably would have been beneficial to simply do a Wii edition of that rather than bringing back the first. Once you get past the controls, you will be pleasantly surprised as to how well the game has transitioned to the Wii. If you missed out the first time around or have a strong love of the original, you should definitely give it a try.
As it stands, Modern Warfare Reflex is merely average. The multiplayer is addictive and the control options are varied, but the watered-down graphics and relentless frame rate problems keep it from being a power player. This game has seen better days, two years ago, in fact.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Reflex is a great port of one of the best shooters ever made. It runs good on the Nintendo console, although there are better looking shooters, and the multiplayer is phenomenal.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition may be a mouthful to say, but it's one of the most well made and truly great games on the Wii.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Edition is what you'd expect to find out of it. It doesn't live up to the HD versions because the severe graphical hit the game takes, but the multiplayer is still a lot of fun to experience and that alone may make the game worth it for you.
Treyarch did more than an admirable job porting last year's Call of Duty: World at War to the Wii, and with REFLEX they build on that success
When compared to the Xbox and PS3 version it feels incredibly gimped, but when put up against other Wii shooters, Modern Warfare: Reflex stands out, and proves that the Wii can, indeed, keep up with the high-def generation. It just can't look as good while it does it.
The explosions aren't too impressive, the shots aren't too realist and the models aren't too detailed than the past versions, but, still, this is a genuine Modern Warfare.
Treyarch have built on last year's success and really worked hard to ensure that Wii gamers are not left out when it comes to great shooters.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex" looks and runs great on a system that shouldn't be able to handle it. If you have no other options to play the game on, it comes highly recommended. It's just a shame multiplayer isn't as fully featured as it could be.
