This study examined organization-level characteristics associated with the accessibility of outpatient addiction treatment.
Program directors and clinical supervisors from a nationally representative panel of outpatient substance abuse treatment units in the United States were surveyed in 1990, 1995, and 2000. Accessibility was measured from clinical supervisors' reports of whether the treatment organization provided "treatment on demand" (an average wait time of 48 hours or less for treatment entry), and of whether the program turned away any patients.
In multivariable logistic models, provision of "treatment on demand" increased two-fold from 1990 to 2000 (OR, 1.95; 95 percent CI, 1.5 to 2.6), while reports of turning patients away decreased nonsignificantly. Private for-profit units were twice as likely to provide "treatment on demand" (OR, 2.2; 95 percent CI, 1.3 to 3.6), but seven times more likely to turn patients away (OR, 7.4; 95 percent CI, 3.2 to 17.5) than public programs. Conversely, units that served more indigent populations were less likely to provide "treatment on demand" or to turn patients away. Methadone maintenance programs were also less likely to offer "treatment on demand" (OR, .65; 95 percent CI, .42 to .99), but more likely to turn patients away (OR, 2.4; 95 percent CI, 1.4 to 4.3).
Although the provision of timely addiction treatment appears to have increased throughout the 1990s, accessibility problems persist in programs that care for indigent patients and in methadone maintenance programs.
The adverse personal, social, and public health effects of addictive disorders are well described (Stein 1999; O'Connor and Schottenfeld 1998). In dollar terms, the consequences of drug abuse alone cost $143.4 billion in the United States in 1998 (Office of National Drug Control Policy 2001b). An overwhelming body of literature demonstrates that addiction treatment reduces substance-related consequences and costs to society, including transmission of HIV and crime (Gerstein and Lewin 1990; Metzger et al. 1993; Rosenbaum 1995; Hubbard et al. 1997; Metzger, Navaline, and Woody 1998; Broome, Joe, and Simpson 1999; Leshner 1999; McLellan et al. 2000). However, the access to substance abuse treatment remains a major concern in the United States—fewer than half of addicted persons receive needed treatment (Office of National Drug Control Policy 2001a).
Since the 1980s, physician organizations, AIDS activists, addiction experts, and policymakers have advocated "treatment on demand" as a way to improve the accessibility of needed addiction treatment and slow the HIV epidemic (Metzger, Navaline, and Woody 1998; American Medical Association Council on Scientific Affairs 1989; Presidential Commission on Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1988; McAuliffe et al. 1991; Wenger and Rosenbaum 1994). This strategy "strikes while the iron is hot," making treatment available as soon as a substance-abusing person expresses readiness. Timely access is not a trivial matter for addicted patients—many are already ambivalent about seeking treatment, have little tolerance for waiting, and will continue to use drugs while on waiting lists (Rosenbaum 1995; Graham, Brett, and Bois 1995; Kaplan and Johri 2000). Studies suggest that 25–50 percent of applicants will drop off a waiting list between initial assessment and treatment entry, and that longer wait times increase attrition (Stark, Campbell, and Brinkerhoff 1990; Donovan et al. 2001; Festinger et al. 1995; Hser et al. 1998). A recent simulation affirmed that even if a drug-using population were to have an average wait tolerance of one month, approximately 40 percent would drop off a two-week waiting list for treatment (Kaplan and Johri 2000). The strategy of "treatment on demand" requires treatment capacity sufficient to minimize waiting lists (Sorensen 2000), but current capacity is considered inadequate to meet need in the United States (Guydish and Muck 1999). To this end, several cities, including San Francisco, California, and Baltimore, Maryland, initiated policies in the latter half of the 1990s to expand public treatment capacity with the goal of providing timely treatment entry, preferably within 48 hours (San Francisco Board of Supervisors 1996; Drug Strategies 2000).
At the same time, changes in the delivery system throughout the 1990s, including the market dominance of for-profit behavioral health care, the growing ranks of the uninsured, stringent limitations in coverage for addiction treatment among the insured, and the shift toward managed care, have heightened apprehension about the accessibility of addiction treatment (Weisner and Schmidt 2001; Larson, Samet, and McCarty 1997; Mechanic 1999; Wheeler and Nahra 2000; Galanter et al. 2000). For example, cost containment efforts associated with managed care have dramatically reduced utilization of inpatient addiction care, without evidence of an offsetting increase in outpatient services (Galanter et al. 2000). In addition, the stagnation of public support for methadone maintenance and the reliance on private methadone programs in many communities have raised monetary barriers for many opioid-dependent patients who might benefit from this effective treatment (Rosenbaum et al. 1996). Indeed, some states and municipalities have attempted to cut or eliminate public funding for methadone, most recently in Massachusetts (Abel 2002). Despite these concerns, little is known about how changes in the delivery system have influenced accessibility among addiction treatment units nationwide. Thus, this study uses longitudinal data from the National Drug Abuse Treatment System Survey (DATSS), a nationally representative panel survey of outpatient substance abuse treatment programs, to examine trends in organization-level accessibility to outpatient addiction treatment in the United States during the 1990s, and program characteristics associated with accessibility.
This study used data from the National Drug Abuse Treatment Survey (DATSS), a panel study of outpatient substance abuse treatment programs conducted in 1988, 1990, 1995, and 2000. The present study included data from 1990, 1995, and 2000. Inclusion criteria targeted facilities in which at least half of all treatment services were provided to persons with substance abuse problems. Veteran's Affairs and correctional programs were excluded. For each wave, large random samples of programs were screened from composite national sample frames (2,440 in 1988; 932 in 1994; 1,339 in 1999); 36 to 40 percent of programs met the inclusion criteria.
Standardized procedures ensured that the composite sampling frame for each wave included the most complete list possible of the nation's addiction treatment units (Adams and Heeringa 2000). The 1988 sampling frame was created from a merger of the National Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Program Inventory of both methadone and hospital-based nonmethadone programs; a census of outpatient drug treatment units in the Institute for Social Research's National Sample Primary Sampling Units; and a list of treatment programs provided by the 50 state governments. In 1988, 889 eligible units were divided into 12 strata along three dimensions: public/private ownership, methadone/nonmethadone, and freestanding mental health center- or hospital-affiliated. Subsampling within these strata selected 645 eligible units; 575 (89 percent) responded. The 1990 survey included the 575 units that had completed interviews in 1988; no new units were selected. Of these units, 550 remained eligible, and 481 (88 percent) participated in the 1990 wave.
For the 1995 survey, 429 panel units from the 1990 survey remained eligible, of which 387 (90 percent) completed interviews. To supplement these panel programs, a new sampling frame was generated through the merger of the National Facilities Register of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA); the American Hospital Association annual survey database; the Food and Drug Administration list of methadone treatment units; and a listing of outpatient drug abuse treatment providers purchased from Survey Sampling Inc. This frame was divided into the same 12 strata as in 1988. From these strata, the supplemental sample of 270 units was randomly selected, of which 231 (86 percent) agreed to participate. Thus, the total sample in 1995 consisted of 618 treatment units (88 percent response).
For the 2000 wave, 535 of these 618 units remained eligible, and 480 (89 percent) completed interviews. Updated versions of the four databases combined in 1990, plus the Uniform Facility Data Set of SAMHSA were again merged into a new sampling frame. This frame was stratified into methadone and nonmethadone units. A new randomly selected subsample of 302 programs supplemented the panel sample; 256 (85 percent) participated, yielding a total sample of 745 programs.
Professional interviewers conducted telephone interviews with each program's director and clinical supervisor. Program directors provided information regarding the program's affiliation, ownership, finances, and managed care involvement, while clinical supervisors provided information on services provided, program staff, and patients. All questions were in reference to the most recent complete fiscal year. Reliability and validity of the DATSS survey instruments have been well documented (Groves et al. 1998; Batten et al. 1993).
This article focuses on the accessibility of addiction treatment services at the level of the addiction treatment organization. Although accessibility is a multidimensional construct, this investigation's perspective is that the addiction treatment organization has a role in inhibiting or facilitating its prospective patients' timely initiation of substance abuse treatment (McCaughrin and Howard 1996). Since waiting time is a function both of whether prospective patients can get into the queue and how quickly they get off the queue and into treatment, this research evaluates both whether a treatment program turned prospective patients away, and the amount of time applicants waited before treatment entry (Kaplan and Johri 2000). Clinical supervisors reported the percentage of applicants the program turned away. We dichotomized this variable as turning any applicants away versus turning no one away. Clinical supervisors also indicated the average number of days prospective patients had to wait to enter treatment. We dichotomized this variable at 48 hours or less, a proposed goal for "treatment on demand" in several American cities (San Francisco Board of Supervisors 1996; Drug Strategies 2000). Dichotomization at 0, 24, 72, or 96 hours did not alter the results.
Study Year was dummy-coded to examine whether organization-level accessibility of treatment changed in 1995 and 2000; 1990 was the referent year.
Program Ownership was dummy-coded as private for-profit or private not-for-profit, with public ownership as the referent.
Managed Care Involvement was measured through program directors' reports of the percentage of patients in their programs who were members of health maintenance organizations (HMOs) or preferred provider organizations (PPOs), the percentage whose payor required prior authorization, and the percentage whose payor required concurrent review.
Methadone Provision was generated from clinical supervisors' reports of methadone practices. Program supervisors first reported whether their program provided methadone treatment. Those who reported yes were then asked to report how long after being admitted were patients typically encouraged to detoxify. Short-term methadone was categorized as encouraging methadone detoxification after less than one year. Methadone maintenance was defined as providing methadone for one year or longer. These dummy variables indicate programs that offered short-term methadone and methadone maintenance, with no methadone provision as the referent.
Delivery of Indigent Care was examined through program directors' reports of the percentage of patients who were uninsured and unable to pay for their treatment, the percentage who paid a reduced fee for their treatment, and the percentage of patients with Medicaid coverage.
Other Program Characteristics included program age, measured in years; program size, measured as number of patients; and perception of staff caseload, which the clinical supervisor rated on a five-point scale ranging from "much too low" to "much too high."
Patient Characteristics included demographic features such as the percentage of patients who were African American, the percentage of patients who were Hispanic, and average patient age. We also controlled for the percentage of patients with polysubstance abuse. Analyses not shown examined as other control variables: the percentage of female patients, the percentage of patients who were referred from the criminal justice system, the percentage of patients who were with dual diagnoses, and the percentage of patients who had problems with alcohol, cocaine, crack, and heroin. These variables did not contribute to the models and were excluded for parsimony.
Descriptive analyses used standard methods to compare the variables under investigation over the three data time-points. Univariate statistics were weighted to account for the probability of selection (Adams and Heeringa 2000). Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models simultaneously assessed the independent relationship of each of the explanatory variables with both dependent variables, while controlling for potential confounding. The GEE is a method of analyzing correlated, longitudinal data in which subjects are measured at different points in time (Liang and Zeger 1986). Stata 6.0 fit multivariable logistic GEE models with exchangeable correlation structures and robust standard error estimates (Stata Corp. 1999).
Several trends in the characteristics of outpatient substance abuse treatment programs occurred during the 1990s (Table 1). The provision of "treatment on demand" increased while the percentage of programs that turned patients away decreased. "Treatment on demand" and "turning patients away" were significantly correlated in each study year (data not shown).
Program ownership varied over the decade, with increases in private for-profit, and decreases in public ownership. These changes reflect the increase in private-for-profit ownership among units selected for the supplemental samples; few programs in the panel sample changed ownership status. Private for-profit units were also significantly more likely to drop out of the study in subsequent waves than were not-for-profit or public programs (data not shown), thus the supplemental sampling effectively replaced nonrespondent units with similar programs in the latter waves.
Managed care involvement showed surprisingly modest increases in the proportion of patients who were members of an HMO or PPO. Private for-profit programs reported significantly greater levels of managed care involvement and privately insured patients in all three study years (p<.001) (data not shown). Regarding methadone treatment, the percentage of methadone programs did not change over the decade, but programs that offered methadone shifted toward longer-term treatment. The percentage of free-care and reduced fee patients remained relatively stable during the 1990s, while the percentage of Medicaid patients dropped between 1990 and 1995, and then stabilized.
Compared to 1990, provision of "treatment on demand" increased significantly from 1990 to 1995 (p=.003), and to 2000 (p<.001) (Table 2). Using 1995 as the referent group, "treatment on demand" did not change insignificantly from 1995 to 2000 (OR, 1.31; 95 percent CI, .71 to 2.42). Private for-profit programs were twice as likely (p=.002) to provide "treatment on demand" as publicly owned programs. Managed care involvement also increased the likelihood of "treatment on demand." A 10 percent increase in the percentage of patients who were members of an HMO or PPO and in the percentage of patients who required prior authorization for treatment were associated with an 8 percent increase (p=.08) and a 5 percent increase (p=.04) in the odds that "treatment on demand" was available, respectively. Programs that offered methadone maintenance were less likely to provide "treatment on demand" (p=.05) than nonmethadone programs. Programs that served more indigent patients were also less likely to provide "treatment on demand": serving greater proportions of patients who don't pay (p=.10), who paid a reduced fee (p=.05), or who received Medicaid (p=.05) decreased the provision of "treatment on demand."
The multivariate analysis detected no significant changes in the proportion of programs that turned patients away over the study period (Table 2). Similarly, there was no significant change in the proportion of programs that turned patients away from 1995 to 2000 (OR, 0.81; 95 percent CI, .57 to 1.26). Compared to public programs, both private not-for-profit (p<.001) and private for-profit (p<.001) programs were more likely to turn patients away. Among programs that did turn patients away, the mean (±standard deviation) percentage of patients turned away was 11.1±18.0 percent in 1990, 9.9± 11.7 percent in 1995, and 10.5±14.8 percent in 2000. Private for-profit programs turned away significantly greater proportions of patients than either private not-for-profit or public programs. For example, in 2000, private for-profit programs turned away 31.1 percent of patients compared to 8.7 percent for not-for-profit and 0.35 percent for public programs.
Programs with greater managed care involvement, either through a greater proportion of patients who were members of an HMO or PPO (p=.02) or who required prior authorization (p=.007), were also more likely to turn patients away, as were programs that offered short-term methadone (p<.001) or methadone maintenance (p<.001). Conversely, delivery of more indigent care was a marker of programs that were less likely to turn away patients. Serving a greater percentage of patients who don't pay (p=.002), who paid a reduced fee (p<.001), or who had Medicaid coverage (p=.09) was associated with decreased likelihood of turning patients away.
In this study the overall availability of outpatient substance abuse "treatment on demand" appears to have increased over the 1990s, and the majority of programs nationwide reported that they provided it. Nonetheless, concerns about the accessibility of addiction treatment remain (Weisner and Schmidt 2001). We expected that private for-profit programs would report more "treatment on demand," presumably for insured or affluent patients, and would turn away more patients. It is a reasonable conjecture that these programs accept or turn away patients based on their ability to pay. Previous work has suggested that private for-profit centers treat clientele with greater personal resources, accept a lower percentage of nonpaying and reduced fee patients, and turn away more patients (Wheeler, Fadel, and D'Aunno 1992). Because immediate access is desirable to patients seeking treatment, for-profit programs may turn away indigent patients to reserve space for potential paying patients. Barriers for indigent patients may take the form of limitations as to number of treatment slots for underinsured patients, "financial triage" whereby uninsured patients enter a queue while insured patients are admitted expeditiously, and location of the program in exclusive vicinities. One can further speculate that "treatment on demand" has marketing value for private programs competing for paying patients and insurance contracts.
Managed care involvement, which is greater in private for-profit programs (Lemak, Alexander, and D'Aunno 2001), also increased both "treatment on demand" and the practice of turning patients away. Again, it is likely that these programs are primarily turning away nonpaying patients. Managed care creates a disincentive to allow easy access to indigent patients because discounted contracts and utilization management limit the traditional use of "hidden cross-subsidies" to make up losses from uncompensated care (Weisner and Schmidt 2001). Small numbers limit our ability to discern whether this finding applies to public Medicaid managed care, which some have suggested might increase the accessibility of substance abuse treatment (Deck et al. 2000). Contrary to the effects of private for-profit ownership and managed care involvement here, the mission-driven nature of programs that care for indigent patients presumably makes them more averse to turning patients away and, as a possible consequence, less able to provide "treatment on demand."
It is concerning that methadone maintenance programs were both more likely to turn away potential patients and less likely to provide "treatment on demand." Evidence supports the effectiveness of methadone maintenance in decreasing risky injection behaviors and slowing the spread of HIV (Metzger et al. 1993; Broome, Joe, and Simpson 1999), in addition to improving crime and substance-related outcomes (Hubbard et al. 1997; Ward, Hall, and Mattick 1999). The recent surge in popularity and purity of heroin and the continued high risk for HIV and hepatitis C infection among drug injectors have only increased the critical need to expand "treatment on demand" for methadone maintenance (Rosenbaum 1995; Wenger and Rosenbaum 1994).
This study has several limitations. The DATSS includes no patient-level information, only program-level reports. Although the supposition that the addiction treatment organization has a role in inhibiting or facilitating its prospective patients' timely initiation of treatment has face validity, the DATSS' data structure constrains inferences to the organization-level, which may not reflect individual-level associations. For example, these findings might be susceptible to ecological bias, in which case cross-level inference from analyses of organizational populations to individual patients might lead to fallacious conclusions (Piantadosi, Byar, and Green 1988). However, ecological analyses like the present one are useful for generating hypotheses that should be tested in future multilevel treatment studies.
The DATSS' program-level data collection has been validated against chart-abstracted data for several measures, including patients' average length of stay and methadone dosage (Batten et al. 1993), but measurement error remains a possibility. Regarding wait times, the 1996 supplement to the Treatment Episode Data Set noted that 71 percent of addiction treatment episodes were preceded by no patient-reported waiting time, a finding that approximates the DATSS' 1995 result (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 1998). Nonetheless, social desirability bias might have diminished reports of wait times and of patients turned away in the DATSS. Nonresponse bias also remains possible, despite the DATSS' 80–90 percent response rate; the supplemental sampling procedure was not specifically designed to compensate for possible nonresponse bias. In addition, the DATSS studied only outpatient addiction treatment programs, the predominant form in the United States (Gerstein and Lewin 1990); hence, these findings might not generalize fully to residential treatment programs. The lack of quality of care measures is a further limitation. Finally, these analyses cannot determine causal direction, although most of the explanatory variables were relatively fixed organizational characteristics.
Although the growth of the private for-profit sector and managed care has improved the accessibility of substance abuse treatment throughout the 1990s, we assume, but cannot prove, that these gains are limited to insured or affluent patients (Wheeler and Nahra 2000; Zuvekas 2001). Sufficient treatment capacity appears to exist in many private for-profit programs to allow "treatment on demand," but accessibility problems seem to persist among programs that care for the indigent. This finding is concerning because addiction is a disease whose very nature induces indigence: addicted patients frequently lose their jobs and their health insurance, their homes, and the support of their families.
Opioid-dependent patients who seek methadone maintenance appear to face even greater barriers—a greater likelihood both of being turned away and of waiting. Expansion of the accessibility of methadone maintenance poses unique challenges, because regulatory barriers and community opposition have limited methadone clinic growth in the United States. Current efforts to expand opioid maintenance capacity in the United States therefore focus on the promise of opioid maintenance therapy in physicians' offices as a way to reduce stigma and free scarce slots in methadone specialty clinics for less stable patients (Clark 2001; Fiellin and O'Connor 2002). Future research should determine whether this strategy is successful in expanding the accessibility of opioid maintenance therapy.
As part of their separate initiatives to enhance treatment accessibility, San Francisco and Baltimore have both achieved dramatic and sustained increases in funding for substance abuse programming, which have augmented public treatment capacity (Guydish et al. 2000; Drug Strategies 2000; Gleghorn 2002). Entry into publicly funded treatment within 48 hours of request has been difficult to attain (Drug Strategies 2000), but these "treatment on demand" initiatives have been associated with decreases in drug-related emergency visits from 1996 to 2001, unintentional poisonings (primarily heroin overdose), and hospital admissions for injection-related soft tissue infections (Gleghorn 2002; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2002). Future studies should examine the present study's implication that universal insurance for private addiction treatment might be a reasonable alternative to block grants and expansion of public treatment slots as a means of improving treatment accessibility. Whether greater accessibility of addiction treatment improves community-level substance use, risky behavior, and other social outcomes, such as crime, also warrants further investigation (Sibthorpe et al. 1996).

Hello, I still can`t seem to resolve the "dups listings" issue. The same machines keep showing up. When the "dup" machines are rediscovered I delete the old entry and reconfigure the new in my console. This relates to printers also. How to stop the madness? This one issue is over shadowing all the other features of my spiceworks experience. I think I am running v3.5 or v3.6. How do I find the version?
Thanks, card

"This time go into "settings" - "network scan" scroll down change the "scan speed" to: Slow and change "Incremental Scanning" to: Disable."
Scan speed was already set to slow. I changed the Incremental Scanning to disabled. What does changing this setting do?

Am I the only girl that thinks that guys always go with girls who are really dumb & wear so much make-up like there's no tomorrow?
Its never the smart plain janes that get hit on always the dummie? Like is there something wrong with smart girls?
Most Helpful Guy
From a sex perspective, consciously and unsconciously we go for the ones who we think we can dazzle and seduce with ease. I know more often than not I find myself talking to people I think are total idiots. My conscious reason is that their un-intelligence makes me feel smarter and I'll be able to help them become a better person as well as help myself as well by fulfilling my own needs. As I examine though I think subconsciously or else very well hidden it's because I think they will be easy to get (silly considering I have no track record)
The smart ones, the ones with character I believe though are hesitated on. I know Right now I have a huge crush on this debate student in a speech class I'm in and I'm actually asking advise for exactly how I should handle the situation since this girl is my definition for the difference between love, and friendship.
Your hit on less because your not an easy target. The majority of those who will pursue you are after you for what's in your head not on your chest44|00|0
Seeing as this guy is 100% correct, he should get the best answer. Honestly, it shouldn't have been anonymous, but f*** it, at least he saved me from typing that exact thing.
Recently I've been attacked for introducing a little logic to the straight male bashing threads. I recently lost a friend to a militant feminist Lesbian and it bothered me she won by screaming gibberish and stating that all men are egotistical. Needless to say I'm a little too sensitive to expose my posting name since I use it in all my forums
This is great! Thanks

The fit, look and quality on these seat covers is great! Installation was relatively easy; the zippers help slot! The side straps are a little more difficult to connect. An coat hanger helps pull all the straps under the seat. Definitely worth the price!

Halfway through January, and the New Year's Resolutions and promises of a fitter you haven't slowed down.
But, have you?
This is about the time of the month when those January 1 resolutions that focus on exercise, diet and overall wellness begin to wane or are quickly forgotten about since you either haven't seen the results you want or just are getting tired of not finding the time to incorporate the fitness routine you need to achieve your results.
It's not because you don't want to lose weight or eat healthier but rather your frustration boils over and you just decide to call it quits. One reason, arguably the most important one, is a lack of time since your kids and after school activities, meal planning, grocery shopping and that pesky job tend to get in the way of you making it to the gym.
Perhaps it is time to start thinking about exercise as more of an all day affair rather than something you have to do before or after work. Case in point, why not bring fitness to the office with you? You may be asking just how possible that is, but think more outside those four walls you work within and think about how fitness can be implemented at your desk, during your lunch break or just if you need to leave the office and take a stroll through the hallways.

I had to share this experience from last night:
My sisters birthday dinner was yesterday and my niece invited me and the kids over. I told her I would make and bring the birthday cake. So before I went to work, I baked 2 9 inch layers and made some lemon curd to assemble when I got home from work. Well, the dinner was for 6:30pm and I got out waaay late - I got home from work at 6:15pm and realized I still hadn't made any BC yet. Good thing I had Pastry Pride already in the fridge
Literally I threw this cake together in 10 MINUTES. Yup, torted, filled, and I love, love, LOVE the rosette design from iambaker. I then sprayed it a pretty pink luster. We were out the door by 6:30 and got there at 6:40pm!!
(I'm not a fast driver either)
Did you take a picture of it???!! Way to be super-human!!!

Monday and Tuesday were reserve snow make-up days for our school, and since we didn't have the opportunity to use them this winter, the boys had a LONG weekend of Friday, Monday and Tuesday ALL off from school! They enjoyed the time at home to just hang out playing outside and inside (can we say Playstation NHL 10) and to also work through some bad tummy bugs that had been getting Easton down. Well ... I ended up sick with an achy cold by the weekend just in time for my long-looked-forward-to Ladies Retreat with the church ladies and Nolan is just now working through some tummy issues ... but we're rallying.
On Monday though I was so blessed by this:
The boys, ALL ON THEIR OWN INITIATIVE, made notes (3 in all) for Landon at ND in China. Talk about bless my socks off. For so long I have wanted them to have a heart for those who have been dealt a harder road in their young lives. And especially I have wished for them to have a heart for orphans. But my earlier attempts of trying to get them interested in serving others really were met mostly with disgruntled hearts ... with a few soft spots here and there. But lately I've noticed something new. Something that doesn't have so much to do with anything I have been doing because I kinda decided to lay off and just do what I was doing and not so much pushing on what I wish they were doing. When the earthquakes hit Japan earlier this month, Easton's first thought was, "I hope Landon is alright!" (He's not yet too familiar with geography although he knows that China and Japan are both far, far away.) And he also asked if he could send something special to him and picked out a cute Lightning McQueen car. Ahhh, melt my heart!
And then this ...
it may be small but it means so much ... to me.
It's these sprouts that I pray grow roots and turn ultimately into much good fruit for them!
P.S. The "GR" on the top of the sign is for "Grand Rapids"--their dad's high school team who they just LOVE. Easton is #2 and Landon gets to be #5.

LAFAYETTE — Charles Taylor is opening a career door for engineering students at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette that they might not have thought of entering: the biomedical industry.
Taylor, a bioengineering professor, is at the center of creating an artificial heart lab at UL-Lafayette's Rougeau Hall. He introduced a pilot class of mechanical engineering students last spring to the theories and principles of artificial organ creation, even taking them to an open-heart surgery at Lafayette General Medical Center.
"The local community really stepped up," Taylor said. "It's been very promising out of the gate."
With a booming Gulf Coast oil industry, most chemical and mechanical engineering students go to UL-Lafayette looking to join those sectors. But there also are opportunities for engineering students in the biomedical field.
"I love biology, and a lot of the jobs in this area are oil-field related," said Jacob King, a doctoral student under Taylor. "The oil field is a great field to work in, but I wanted to focus on the biological side of engineering."
King was one of the students in Taylor's artificial organs class.
"He really gave us the spiel on how biology relates to what we've been learning in our mechanical engineering classes," King said. "Everything is just links and ligaments."
He and his classmates created a mockup of the cardiovascular system in the lab using hydraulic pumps and tubes, which they use to simulate different types of heart complications and to see the effects on other parts of the body, King said.
The mechanical engineering department has wanted to test the waters with a bioengineering curriculum, Taylor said.
"There's really been a push to determine the biomedical interest in the mechanical engineering program," he said. "The biomedical industry is very diverse, and the class has helped to really find out what that interest is."
Taylor said he believes a bioengineering program could flourish at UL-Lafayette.
"Here, you see student capabilities you just don't see with traditional biomedical programs around the country," he said. "Typically, biomedical schools are good at getting their students ready for med school, but the biomedical field could really benefit from having the capabilities these mechanical engineering students have."
The mechanical engineering department currently offers only a bioengineering minor, but the future could yield an undergraduate program or even more.

Organic coffee in Mozambique

Transcript of Organic coffee in Mozambique
Our Proposal... There is a high demand for organic coffee but only a few countries like Mozambique have the climate to produce it. This makes organic coffee an extremely valuable product and could generate Mozambique a lot of profit. Coffee plants like these can be picked by the people of Mozambique to help decrease the 21 percent unemployment rate. Not only does Mozambique have the right climate for coffee-growing but it also has easy access to international trade. -To promote the growing of organic coffee in Mozambique. Mozambique gets approximately 80 inches of rainfall a year which makes water a plentiful resource there. Because of this availability growing coffee could be a sustainable economy. In addition, Mozambique is home to countless lakes and rivers such as Lake Nyasa to the south. They could use lakes like these to irrigate to coffee trees. 81% of the economic exports of Mozambique are agricultural. This means that there are tons of agricultural landspace to use for coffee growing, and it would have no further environmental impact then what was already there. The government can use this profit for the benefit of the people. For Example, Mozambique needs better healthcare systems; only 50% of the population has access to an acceptable level of health care. The profit generated by these local coffee companies could help the government pay for better healthcare and enhance the standard of living. The coffee would be organic and would not harm Mozambique's environment. Thanks for listening to our proposal.Full transcript
We hope you buy some organic coffee soon!

Here's a refreshing summer drink that has a taste reminiscent of a popular Icelandic soft drink, Mix, only not quite as sweet.
1 part pure pineapple juice
1 part Sprite Zero (or regular Sprite or 7up if you prefer it sweeter)
decorations (optional): pineapple ring, paper umbrella, straw
Pour the pineapple juice into a highball glass, add the Sprite and top up with ice. Decorate and add a straw.
For a sunset effect, pour a little bit of Grenadine down the side of the glass after you pour the Sprite and allow it to settle on the bottom before you add the ice.
Jo's Icelandic Recipes has moved here (the old website is still up but I have stopped updating it). Covers recipes, Icelandic foodstuffs, food culture and history. Please post questions under the appropriate recipe. If there is an Icelandic recipe you're looking for, you can either leave a comment or email me (see sidebar) with a request and I'll see what I can do. Comments are moderated.

Mining's legacy and the lethargy
All sides must take concretes steps to make mining safer and environmentally friendly
April 5, 2012
On a recent front page of the Manila Times' business section was a photograph of a Shuar warrior. He was not a new symbol for aggressive business leadership; he was protesting policies of President Rafael Correa of Ecuador which support mining in the Amazon region and resource agreements with China. What is the world coming to? The Philippines is having to reckon with the warnings of international advocacy while weighing the challenges of issuing a further mining directive for greater human development. On the second page of the newspaper was a story about a drop in Benguet Corporation's earnings for the year, from 2.2 billion pesos (US$ 51 million) to 1.4 billion pesos. Still, mining is a tempting economic fix, yet people in the boondocks don't believe in either the strength of political will in serving the poor, or corporate social responsibility in mine development. People in the uplands are malnourished and resource developments generally compound their ill fortune. They may be threatened into submission by arms. The Philippine National Commission on Indigenous Peoples is compromised with the cessation of land titling and the people's daily struggle to survive is compounded by abuses of their own leaders and officials. Given there is no peace agreement between the Communist Party of the Philippines (New People's Army) and the government, more clashes are expected during the dry season, not surprisingly many will probably be in mining areas where people are used and divided by all sides. Why? There is big money in small mining. The gold purchases of the Central Bank of the Philippines from small-scale miners account for about 60 percent of the country's gold production. But from 7,166 kg (12.3 billion pesos) in 2010, gold purchases went down to 1,722 kg (3.6 billion pesos) in 2011, indicating that gold is smuggled out of the country to avoid the 2 percent excise and 5 percent withholding taxes imposed by the Central Bank and to take advantage of gold's high prices in overseas markets. Young workers in these small-scale mines may make a fortune but are exploited by the overpricing of basic needs on site, such that few come out with the wealth they envisioned. They are also expected to physically defend the mine from outside attacks. The government may want to seize these areas for better management for the country and local labor. This should not be done through corporate security initiatives involving the armed forces. For government to have credibility in such appropriation of land for the common good, why don't we see this power used for disaster relocation sites first? Following the Sendong (Washi) disaster in December, there are several thousand people without safe housing. Land redistribution and allocation through the government's agrarian reform and ancestral domain certification programs are also slow and ineffective. We need the right actions for the common good but that includes caring for the integrity of the environment, otherwise profit even for government is an abuse. In any democracy today, mining will not ride easy; a price has to be paid for long-term environmental destruction, social disruption, and state taxes. The Philippines is at a stage where it's clear that there are other political strengths within society that are trying to face down the mining industry. The reality is that they have legitimacy in doing so, like in South Cotabato province which banned open-pit mining. There is a network of very dissatisfied people, from the most genuine (if not persecuted), to those with the intention to disrupt or destroy. The middle class urban society that still wants its bread buttered is easily discouraged from engaging in the matter. The basic attitude is: "We can't do anything about this anyway." Then there are the politically, socially and economically savvy, who want to make a difference and appeal to reason. Thus, while the legacy of mines past and present casts doubts and questions on industry and government, there is also lethargy in a society where we are willing to talk about these things but not make substantial changes. There are stories of success and of future hope, of good officials and peace-loving communities. But we have been generally ripped-off -- of land, people, country, and profits. We have promises of change, but not the muscle to make the difference. We need to reach a paradigm shift beyond nice stories that make us feel safe and goodhearted. We need to address fundamentals. Canada and Australia might claim good practices, but where in Ecuador, Indonesia, Nigeria, DR Congo or Papua New Guinea do we have them? These practices are also not in the Philippines and yet we must try. Seven things we need to work with: 1. Comprehensive valuation, economic, environmental, social and generational 2. Stricter compliance with rules overseen by government and international organizations with capacity to monitor and take action 3. Disclosure of benefits, costs, investments, excise taxes and employment – nothing less than the truth 4. Increased revenue sharing by government, poverty alleviation, and trusts for communities we can trust 5. The designation of "no-go areas" set for cultures, biodiversity and water 6. Overhauling of all legal and illegal mine operations 7. Delineation of the government's right to take over mismanaged areas In positioning ourselves anew in relation to mining in the Philippines, there is a social honesty necessary whereby we must first of all acknowledge that the indigenous peoples, since the Spanish times, have suffered at the expense of resource exploitation, whether it's forests, water, or minerals. There is a deep social commitment to change that today. The social injustices, with history and hindsight, have resulted in grave social abuse that continues. In acknowledging this, we must go forward truthfully and take accountability. Environmentally today, we have to acknowledge that one of the significant forces where the move for change comes from is found outside of government and business. It is with social outcry that society at times faces up to the injustices that are long neglected. Aid organizations have a critical role and it is tiring to hear them constantly lambasted or tied to dysfunctionalism. They have to be acknowledged as equitable partners in society who are valued and should come to the table. Societies are responsible because of these organizations. Their mode of communication is different from bankers and policy makers, but truth and a social justice is very prominent. Whether you are a pessimist or optimist – mining will continue. It will probably take a good 10 years to build the trust needed and it will take a radical shift by the industry. Are we capable of doing this? It's unclear whether we are capable at present, but if we do not develop the capacity to respond soon, the next 10 years will indeed be terrible. Fr. Pedro Walpole, SJ is executive director of Environmental Science for Social Change in Manila.

Sepia Cinderella (1947, B&W): Bob Jordan is an aspiring songwriter with a melody stuck in his head. Naive in the ways of love, he's having some trouble writing the lyrics for his would-be hit. Barbara, a fellow musician and secret admirer, helps him finish the romantic ballad. "Cinderella" becomes an instant smash, and as Jordan's career takes off, lovelorn Barbara can only watch as her man slips away. Fame is a fickle thing, though, and Bob's flirtation with the fast life is short. Loveless and jobless, his agent has a brilliant idea to get his career back on track - a Cinderella contest. The gimmick is simple; at Jordan's next show, every available woman in the audience will bring a single slipper. The owner of the slipper that Bob selects will be invited upstage to join him in performing a duet of his signature song. The big night arrives, and Barbara happens to be in the audience. Will he finally make the right choice?
Sepia Cinderella is carried by a pair of notable actor/musicians. Billy Daniels rose to fame as a recording artist and nightclub performer, and would later go on to act and sing in three long running Broadway musicals. Sheila Guyse was a popular singer and star of numerous stage productions, though she only made a few appearances in film.

We were not satisfied with the area in which the hotel was located.The hotel catered to a lot of extended stay local area guests.The guests stared at you as if they were looking to mug you or take away your possessions.Loud music was blaring from cars in the parking lot.The room had a bad odor and was not cleaned.The ambiance in the room felt like all furniture and bedspreads were years old.The front desk never did anything about the noise and music blaring in the parking lot even though we called them several times.All in all a very negative stay.The vanity sink was leaking and no hot water.

Ok so for the past few weeks i've quitely sat back and watched several South African social media praise the recently launced mobile app taxi service Uber. At first i thought it was just another chauffeur transportation service trying to force their way into the SA market with aggressive marketing tactics roping in social media influencers. It was hard to miss those 'Sign up with Uber now and use our code to get R150 off your first ride' tweets. I didn't wanna be that guy so i sat back and waited to see what happened. Will it work , what would the response from the locals be etc. Then i saw an article that basically valued Uber at a staggering $3.5 billion. Say what…billions for a taxi service?! Yes that was my reaction. Then yesterday i read another article that has proper peaked my interest...Uber might be more valuable than Facebook one day. They threw in a figure of it growing into a company worth $100 billion with five years.
Yes..that is a ridiculous amount of tin for a company that essentially uses a mobile application that connects passengers with drivers of luxury vehicles for hire. So why the massive interest.
Well the explanation in the article was rather simple. Uber is starting much like Amazon once did. At irst Amazon just sold and delivered books and now you can nearly get anything from them. In much the same way…Uber is only transporting people right now, but they could do the exact same and deliver pretty much anything.
"Uber's plan is to outgrow its car-service roots, and become, as investor Shervin Pishevar put it, "a digital mesh" capable of providing all kinds of transportation and logistical services to people in the cities it serves. Once it has you summoning cars from your phone, the logic goes, it can use that same back-end technology to hook you in for all other kinds of deliveries — food, clothes, Christmas trees. And eventually, like Amazon, it can become something akin to an all-purpose utility — it'll just be a way you get things and go places. There's a reason the company recently changed its tagline from "Everyone's private driver" to the much broader "Where lifestyle meets logistics." [NY Mag]
Think i need to get involved.
