Social Security Numbers Can Make Children Victims of ID Theft
(Editor's pick)

Well, duh? Having an ID makes children vulnerable to "ID theft", but it does not make them "victims of ID theft". But even if we correct that ridiculous statement, this is akin to saying that having toys makes children vulnerable to "toy theft". Ya think?!

This invention relates to an exercise apparatus adapted to be mounted to a bed.
Many types of exercise apparatus exist as illustrated by U.S. Pat. No. 3,118,441 to George. However, there are few exercise apparatus designed for use by a bed-ridden patient, whether in a hospital, nursing home, or at home. Moreover, as exemplified by U.S. Pat. No. 2,601,686 to Roessler and U.S. Pat. No. 5,005,829 to Caruso, versatility and portability are features lacking in a physical therapy apparatus for a bed-ridden patient.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a versatile physical therapy apparatus preferably to be used with the aid of a physical therapist. The apparatus beneficially includes a mounting member adapted to be supported by an end of a bed, a resistance element attached to the mounting member, and a guide wheel rotatably mounted in a pulley block and normally spaced apart from the resistance element. Normally, the resistance element is in a contracted or relaxed position, but in use, is extended or elongated and may as a result, closely approach the guide wheel.
Beneficially, the pulley block is pivotably mounted so that the guide wheel is angularly positionable by the user from a first selected position to a second selected position, and the pivotable mounting includes a friction-reducing element. In a preferred embodiment, the pulley block is secured to an arm extending from an elongated support to which the mounting member is secured. The apparatus further includes a pull-rope connected to the resistance element and passing over the guide wheel.
Advantageously, the elongated support includes an axial extent that accommodates variability of height of bed ends; and the apparatus further includes a mounting clamp slidably adjustable along the axial extent and including an upwardly facing jaw for engagement with a bottom portion of the bed end. In a beneficial application of angular positionability of the guide wheel, the apparatus further includes a second guide wheel connected to a fastening strap for securing the second guide wheel to a side rail of the bed.
For portability, in a preferred embodiment the mounting member and the guide wheel are attached to a lightweight frame, which includes the elongated support. In addition, the apparatus advantageously includes wheels and a handle attached to the elongated support.
Additional advantages and beneficial features of the present invention are set forth in the drawing and detailed description, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the drawing and detailed description or may be learned by practice of the invention. In the drawing and detailed description, there is shown and essentially described only a preferred embodiment of this invention, simply by way of illustration of the best mode contemplated of carrying out this invention. As will be realized, this invention is capable of other and different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawing and the detailed description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.
Reference is now made to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of the specification of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred physical therapy apparatus in accordance with the present invention, and in phantom line, of a bed to which the apparatus is mounted;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged, partially sectional side view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 mounted to a head board or foot board of a bed;
FIG. 3 is a partially sectional rear view of the mounted apparatus, substantially along line 3—3 of FIG. 2, with a portion of the support bar broken away;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective, partially assembled view of the mounting member and associated resistance elements and structure of the FIG. 1 apparatus;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged exploded view of a preferred pivotable mount for a guide wheel, substantially along line 5—5 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged top view taken substantially along line 6—6 of FIG. 3, which illustrates the range of angular movement of the guide wheels;
FIG. 7 is an enlarged partially sectional view of a lower clamp assembly taken substantially along line 7—7 of FIG. 3; and
FIGS. 8 to 10 illustrate usage and further illustrate mounting, of the apparatus of FIG. 1, with FIG. 10 illustrating a particularly advantageous application of the angular pivotability of the guide wheels.
In accordance with the present invention, a versatile physical therapy device is provided. Beneficially, the device also includes a lightweight frame on wheels. As will be understood, terms such as "upwardly", "downwardly", "upper", "lower", "above", "vertical" and the like are relative, and have been particularly used with reference to the drawing to assist understanding.
With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, a preferred physical therapy apparatus 10 in accordance with the present invention, includes a mounting block or member 12 having a top portion 14 with a pair of spaced apart, downwardly facing, U-shaped clamps 16 attached to a back side 18 of the mounting block by fasteners 20. Referring particularly to FIG. 2, clamps 16 are hooked over an end 24, in particular a head board or a foot board, of a bed, shown in phantom, and clamp bolts 28 tighten the clamps, to support mounting block 12 in an elevated position, with a generally planar, front side or face 30 of mounting block 12 in contact with an opposing generally planar face 34 of the bed end. Although the mounting block may be conveniently made of wood, other suitable materials may be used. As also will be understood, the mounting block could be a frame assembled of smaller pieces.
Referring particularly to FIGS. 3 and 4, resistance elements 36 are conveniently attached to back side 18 of the mounting block, and beneficially are resilient tension members preferably of helical spring form disposed within elongated cylindrical tubes or pockets 38. Each tubular structure beneficially provides a protective casing for its respective elongatable member, as well as guides the elongation and contraction. Advantageously, as indicated, the axial orientation of elongated tubes 38 and resistance elements 36 is generally vertical, and each tube has an inner diameter that provides adequate mechanical clearance so that its respective resistance element is free to elongate and contract without binding. Beneficially, the resistance elements differ significantly in resistance from one another to provide the user with a selection of different resistances, and this can be accomplished in any convenient manner depending upon the type of resistance element including use of, as illustrated, a relatively lighter gauge spring 36A, a relatively heavier gauge and longer spring 36B, and an even heavier gauge and longer spring 36C. Likewise, as necessary, cylindrical tubes 38 are provided with different inner diameters. The apparatus may include any number of resistance elements; but if desired, the apparatus could be constructed with only one resistance element and related components.
With continued reference to FIGS. 3 to 4 in particular, brackets 40 including bracket mounting screws 44, and anchor pins 46 attach elongated tubes 38 to the mounting block. Conveniently, the brackets each include a generally semicircular mid-portion for surrounding the respective tube, and a pair of spaced apart brackets located near opposite tube ends, is used for each tube. Anchor pins 46 likewise attach the tension members 36 to the mounting block, and to this end, conveniently pass through holes 50 (one shown in the partially assembled view of FIG. 4) in the respective lower ends of the tubes and the aligned respective lower ends or eyelets 56 of the tension members. As will be understood, the mounting block and pockets 38 could be molded as an integral unit.
Referring also to FIG. 2 in particular, secured to the mounting block by fasteners 58 are a pair of spaced apart mounting brackets 60,62 which by means of fasteners 64 secure the mounting block to an elongated support bar 66. Although support bar 66 may be solid, it is beneficially, as best shown in FIG. 7, a lightweight hollow tubular member. As also shown in FIG. 7, support bar 66 conveniently has a rectangular cross-section.
Advantageously, the axis of elongated support bar 66 is, as depicted in FIG. 2, generally vertical when the mounting block is mounted to a bed end. Referring in addition to FIGS. 3, 5 and 6 in particular, also secured to support bar 66, but located above and spaced apart from respective upper ends 68 of the elongated tubes and respective upper ends 70 of the relaxed tension members, are guide wheels 72. As indicated, each guide wheel is rotatably mounted in a pulley block 74, and is in alignment with its respective tension member; and the guide wheels and the mounting block are mounted separately to support bar 66. Beneficially, each pulley block is pivotably mounted to the support bar, and in particular to an arm 76 conveniently including a brace portion 78 and attached by fasteners 80 to the support bar. If desired, arm 76 and guide wheels 72 could be vertically adjustable on the support bar. As best shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, arm 76 extends in a plane generally perpendicular to, and is elongated transverse to, the axis of the support bar.
With reference particularly to FIG. 5, arm 76 includes apertures 82 (only one shown) for connection to the pulley blocks, and the pivotable connection between a pulley block and the arm is advantageously provided by a pivot shaft 84 with a threaded bore 86, a threaded bolt 88 which threads into the bore, and a ball bearing 90 disposed between washers 92 and positioned between the pulley block and arm 76. As will be understood, other friction-reducing elements may be chosen in place of the ball bearing. As indicated in FIG. 6, a pivotable connection permits angular movement of each guide wheel. Thus, for example, the center guide wheel (and its pulley block) may be moved within the range defined by the imaginary lines D,F from any beginning position to any selected position. For instance, the center guide wheel may be moved from a position indicated by an imaginary line E to a selected position indicated by the line F, and in that case, an angle a defines the extent of the pivotable movement. Similarly, the angle α defines the extent of an opposite pivotable movement from line E to line D.
Referring again to FIG. 2 in particular, beneficially connected to respective upper end 70 of each resistance element is a pull-rope 94, which passes over the respective guide wheel 72. Conveniently, an opposite end 96 of each pull-rope may be attached to a suitable grip or pull 98 by a clip 100, or as shown in FIG. 1, end 96 of the pull-rope may be provided with clip 100.
Beneficially for portability and with reference in particular to FIGS. 2 and 3, support bar 66 is provided with a handle 102, and at a lower bar end 104 is connected to wheels 106 by a bracket 107 and connecting members 108, against which support bar 66 is conveniently braced by braces 110. As will be understood, wheels 106 and connecting members 108 are also advantageously a counterweight to the pulling force exerted by the user.
Referring in addition to FIG. 7, advantageously slidably mounted on support bar 66 between bracket 107 and a bottom surface 112 of the mounting block is a mounting clamp 114 for further securing the mounting block to a bed end. Beneficially, the support bar is provided with an axial extent between bottom surface 112 (or lower mounting bracket 62, as the case may be depending upon what structure blocks upward axial movement of clamp 114) and bracket 107 that provides for a wide range of axial movement of clamp 114 to accommodate various bed ends.
As best seen in FIG. 7, mounting clamp 114 includes a sleeve-like bracket 116 which surrounds the support bar, and a rotatable knob 118 and a threaded shaft 120 which extends from knob 118 through bracket 116 and includes a ball portion (not shown) at its end held within a foot member 122 for tightening or loosening the clamp from its selected vertical position on the support bar. Clamp 114 further includes an elongated jaw 124 attached to sleeve-like bracket 116 and pivotably movable about an axis formed by fasteners 126 from, now referring to FIG. 2, a closed position (shown in dotted line) to a upwardly facing open position for engagement of a jaw end 128 with a bottom surface 130 of the bed end. As can be understood from FIG. 2, jaw 124 includes a beveled surface 134 opposite to jaw end 128 which upon contact with a surface 136 of sleeve-like bracket 116 stops further opening of the jaw so that the jaw is upwardly angled in the open position.
In use and with reference also to FIGS. 8-10, physical therapy apparatus 10 is wheeled up to bed end 24, conveniently with vertically adjustable mounting clamp 114 positioned directly above bracket 107 and pivotable jaw 124 of clamp 114 in an open position. As indicated by an adjustment mechanism 140, shown in phantom in FIGS. 8 and 9, the distance of the bed foot board and headboard from the floor is vertically adjustable. Thus, the foot board elevation may be conveniently lowered so that the opposing faces of mounting block 12 and foot board 24 contact one another, and thereafter the foot board elevation is raised so that the top of the foot board is within U-shaped clamps 16. Then, vertically adjustable mounting clamp 114 is moved upwardly along the axis of the support bar until jaw 124 engages the bottom of the foot board. After mounting clamps 16 and 114 have been tightened to secure apparatus 10 to the bed, and pulls 98 have been attached to pull-ropes 94, apparatus 10 is ready for use, without any lifting of the apparatus by the user or physical therapist.
As indicated in FIG. 8 and with reference to the directional arrows, apparatus 10 is useful for arm curls when mounted to the foot board. If desired, both arms may be exercised simultaneously. Although mounting to a head board is similar, often a head board differs in vertical dimension (or height), indicated as V in FIG. 8, from the foot board, and in any event, head boards, as well as foot boards, vary in height. Thus, as indicated in FIG. 9, the vertical position of mounting clamp 114 on support bar 66 is lower than in FIG. 8 because the head board has a greater height than the foot board. Accordingly, the axial extent of the support bar above bracket 107 and the vertical adjustability of clamp 114 beneficially accommodate different heights of head boards and foot boards. As shown in FIG. 9, wheels 106 can be elevated off the floor, and resistance element 36 is placed into tension by elongation. As illustrated in FIG. 9 and with reference to the directional arrows, apparatus 10 is useful for exercising different muscle groups when mounted to a head board than when mounted to a foot board. Thus, a bed-ridden patient may also do arm pulls and leg lifts.
FIG. 10 illustrates a particularly advantageous application of the angular pivotability of guide wheels 72. In this use, a guide wheel 150 rotatable mounted in a pulley block 152 is attached to a bed side rail 154 by a suitable fastening strap 156, and pull-rope 94 passes over guide wheel 150 also. As a result, additional muscles may be exercised, and variation is provided for exercise. As will be readily apparent, the angular pivotability of guide wheels 72 advantageously provides for variation in exercise and in the muscles exercised, without the specific application shown in FIG. 10.
Various modifications may be made to apparatus 10. One such modification is to make the apparatus with only one elongated tube or pocket, and to provide a plurality of resistance members of different resistances to be substituted one for another in the pocket. It is therefore apparent that the present invention may be carried out with various modifications without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof.
Accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims as indicating the scope of the invention.

Money Monster, the brand-new movie that debuts in theaters today, is off to a good start, having received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. The Hollywood Reporter stated that director Jodie Foster and star Julia Roberts appeared to be near tears in reaction to the nearly four minutes of sustained applause from the... Show More Summary
"Fear is not going to be something that drives our country," says George Clooney
We could use an old-school "Network"-style drama about money and the media. This dreary hostage thriller isn't it
It may surprise you
While attending the Cannes Film Festival, the "Money Monster" star explained why he was "excited" about his wife's unusual birthday present.
Amal Clooney truly has the best of both worlds! She's an intelligent and respected lawyer AND she gets to glam it up to the fullest at big-time festivals like Cannes! Talk about #blessed. Related: Amal Eviscerates Donald Trump! The brunette beauty joined her husband George Clooney at the premiere of Money Monster during the festival Thursday, looking breathtakingly [...]
George Clooney said that Donald Trump will never be President of the United States, telling reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that he thinks the American people will eschew fear and keep the Republican front-runner out of the Oval Office. Show More Summary
The names are big – George Clooney, Julia Roberts, director Jodie Foster – but the results are meager in "Money Monster," a film that is both less entertaining and less significant than it imagines. An attempt at combining a real-time thriller with a shot across the bow to a deceptive financial...
George Clooney plays a financial news talk-show host, and Julia Roberts is his producer in this self-assured hostage drama.
George and Julia Roberts share some laughs as they pose on the red carpet at the Money Monster premiere during the 2016 Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals on Thursday (May 12) in Cannes, France. Also pictured on the red carpet was George's wife Amal Clooney, who posed for photos with her hubby [...]

Speaking at TED in 1990, the not-yet-legendary architect Frank Gehry takes a whistlestop tour of his work to date, from his own Venice Beach house to the under-construction American Center in Paris. In this 50-minute slideshow (before TED's 18-minute limit), Gehry explains the site-specific nature of his buildings context he felt was lost in the discussions of his then-controversial work. In this candid and funny talk, he exposes his own messy creative process ("I take pieces and bits, and look at it, and struggle with it, and cut it away...") and the way he struggles with problems ("This model on the left is pretty awful. I was ready to commit suicide when this was built ... If any of you have ideas on it, please contact me. I don't know what to do").

Woman in Boat Dies When Hit by Stingray
She's killed when the large winged fish flies out of the water in Fla. Keys.
Published: Friday, March 21, 2008 at 5:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 21, 2008 at 6:29 a.m.
MARATHON | A Michigan woman died Thursday when a stingray jumped out of the water and struck her in the face in the Florida Keys, officials said.
Judy Kay Zagorski, of Pigeon, Mich., was sitting in the front seat of a boat going 25 mph when a spotted eagle ray that weighed about 75 pounds and had a wingspan of 5 to 6 feet flew out of the water.
The collision knocked Zagorski, 57, backward, onto the floor of the boat, said Jorge Pino, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The impact likely killed the woman, and she did not appear to have any puncture wounds from the ray's barbs. An autopsy will determine an official cause of death, Pino said.
The stingray landed in the boat and died as a result of the impact.
The victim's sister, who was not identified, was standing next to her when the stingray flew out of the water. The sister was not injured, Pino said.
Zagorski's father was driving the boat on the Atlantic Ocean side of Vaca Key, where the city of Marathon is located, authorities said.
"He had absolutely no warning. It just happened instantaneously," Pino said.
Spotted eagle rays can weigh up to 500 pounds and have a wingspan of up to 10 feet.
They are known to occasionally jump out of the water but are not aggressive and use the venomous barb at the end of their tail as a defense mechanism. They are protected in Florida waters.

After a week of dreary weather, the sun shined and the day warmed up.
Branch by branch the tree thinned.
First, a chip was removed to give the branch a direction to fall. And then, a cut along the back sent it on its way.
Thicker chunks were guided with help from below.
And soon, one of the twins took it's final bow.

Juventus increased their lead at the top of Serie A to nine points on Sunday with a 3-1 Derby d'Italia victory over out-of-sorts Inter.
Lazio ended Antonio Conte's side's run of 12 consecutive wins last weekend, claiming a 1-1 draw, but the defending champions were not to be denied on Sunday.
Juve cashed in on Inter's defensive frailties to maintain a 100 per cent home record in Serie A and strengthen their grip on top spot, while Walter Mazzarri's men dropped to sixth place.
Inter's team coach was pelted with stones on the way to Juventus Stadium and they still appeared to be in shock as Stephan Lichtsteiner opened the scoring with a first-half header.
Giorgio Chiellini then took advantage of some awful defending to double Juventus' lead just after half-time.
Arturo Vidal soon added a third and although Rolando pulled a goal back, the damage was already done.
Inter have now failed to win in their last six games across all competitions.
Juventus were given the opportunity to stretch their advantage at the summit after Roma's clash with Parma earlier in the day was abandoned just nine minutes in.
Heavy rainfall in the Eternal City over the weekend left the game in doubt and referee Andrea De Marco called a halt to proceedings due to a waterlogged pitch with the game goalless.
Napoli are still six points adrift of Rudi Garcia's second-placed side after slumping to a 3-0 defeat against Atalanta.
Pepe Reina was at fault for the first of two German Denis goals when the former Napoli forward's shot squirmed under his body.
Denis then set up Maximiliano Moralez for Atalanta's third goal to leave Rafael Benitez's side without a win in three league games.
Verona leapfrogged Inter in the table, ending a run of three consecutive defeats with a 2-1 win at struggling Sassuolo.
Alberto Malesani's first game in charge of Sassuolo did not go to plan as a Thomas Manfredini own goal and Luca Toni's late strike gave his former club victory, with Antonio Floro Flores pulling a goal back right at the death.
Catania remain bottom of the table, but Sergio Almiron's late goal salvaged a 3-3 draw in a dramatic clash with fellow strugglers Livorno.
Catania coach Rolando Maran was sent off following his reaction to the visitors, who led three times, being awarded a penalty - scored by Paulinho - but Almiron's strike ensured his side avoided defeat.
In the other game to be played on Sunday, Antonio Candreva and the impressive Keita Balde were on target as Lazio beat Chievo 2-0 to end a turbulent week that saw Hernanes join Inter.

The executives at Technicolor have been busy little beavers recently. Just prior to going to press for this issue, Technicolor announced the purchase of Hollywood's LaserPacific from Telecorps, which also owns post production stalwart PostWorks. The move is meant to increase Technicolor's presence in the television and theatrical digital post world even further.
As part of the Laser deal, Technicolor will also take over PostWorks' Tribeca West facility, giving Technicolor its first post facility west of the dreaded 405, and it will include a DI theater and edit suites.
If the deal closes as expected at the end of this month, both of these LA-based Telecorp locations will operate under the Technicolor brand.
Also announced was the sale of Technicolor New York to PostWorks NY. Not only is Telecorp's PostWorks buying the studio, talent and technology, they licensed the Technicolor name as part of an exclusive agreement — the studio will be called Technicolor/Postworks.
The following is a brief Q&A with Technicolor NY's senior VP of post, Dominic Rom.
POST: If the contracts get signed, PostWorks will own Technicolor NY but retain the Technicolor name?
DOMINIC ROM: "PostWorks is licensing the Technicolor name. It's really the best of both worlds for the two companies. It gives PW access to the Technicolor color science, processes and talent and it enables Technicolor to remain in the NY market place and continue to service the clients that have come to expect the quality of the Technicolor NY."
POST: Why sell Technicolor NY and not just form a partnership like you did last year?
ROM: "In a sense this is a partnership and both companies are approaching it that way. The companies were working on an asset purchase of LaserPacific; it seemed a logical extension of the deal to do an asset purchase of the NY facility but put a little twist on it, a licensing 'franchise' agreement, which means we will be working very closely with the PW staff in all areas."
POST: Will the staff remain the same?
ROM: "We anticipate retention of all key employees in both companies. Combining the staff gives the new entity one of the most talented groups of editors, engineers and colorists ever in NY. I will be very involved in the integration and the running of the Technicolor/Postworks."
POST: What can clients expect from this new development? Business as usual?
ROM: "It will be better than business as usual. There will be no disruption in their service; key talent remains on the projects. PostWorks clients now have access to Technicolor services and our incredible DI talent and workflow, and Technicolor clients now have access to Avid rentals and audio services. The best of both worlds."

Many Off Welfare On The Skids Few States Keeping Track, But Half Of Recent Welfare Departures May Be Unemployed
Less than a mile from the neon-lit nightclubs on Beale Street, where hard-luck tunes tug the heart and water the eyes, 34-year-old Mell Miller is living her own version of the Memphis blues.
After bouncing from the homes of friends and relatives, Miller, her daughter Jessica, 10, and son Anthony, 9, have taken refuge at the Salvation Army homeless shelter. It's not quite the government-subsidized housing Miller was hoping for, but it beats the bus station where they had been staying.
Homeless and jobless, Miller nonetheless is a success story. She's a former welfare recipient, one of more than 1 million nationwide to leave the rolls since federal welfare reform became law a year ago.
With the nation's booming economy and record-low unemployment, it would seem that most of those who left welfare have found jobs. But Miller's experience suggests a more dismal reality. While many left to take jobs, thousands of others have chosen to leave or have been dropped for violations of confusing new policies. And with no job prospects.
No state provides more than a cursory check of those who leave public assistance. But selected reports from various states suggest that up to half of the recent welfare departures may be unemployed. And interviews with former clients and advocates for the poor show that many are living a hand-to-mouth existence, relying on relatives, charities and street smarts to survive.
So while politicians boast of dollars saved and case loads trimmed, the numbers offer no insight into how the reductions affect individual lives, or to what degree the reform's true goal - moving people from government dependence to economic self-sufficiency - is being met.
"There's a great deal of assumed virtue placed on case-load declines without the appreciation that they can include good and bad situations," said Jodie Levin-Epstein of the Center for Law and Social Policy, a nonprofit research group in Washington that advocates for the poor.
Many states had already implemented their own reforms by the time the federal law was enacted last year. The initiatives have helped reduce the nation's welfare rolls to fewer than 11 million people, the lowest percentage of the population since 1970.
Tennessee's experience in the past year offers a telling glimpse into what may lie ahead for other states. Since its Families First plan took effect in September, Tennessee has the nation's third-highest welfare exit rate.
But unlike the declines in previous years, the exodus since September hasn't been fueled by employment. State records show that fewer than one-third of the 18,802 people who left welfare through February did so for jobs. The rest left without employment or were kicked off for violating state rules.
Marilyn Leakes is one of the lucky ones.
The Memphis resident left welfare last month. She said she couldn't walk her 6-year-old son to school, care for her diabetic aunt, look for a job and attend the training classes the state requires. Losing the monthly $142 check and $212 in food stamps forced her to clean friends' and relatives' homes while applying for work. She recently landed a job dismantling defective computers. "I'm just glad to be working," she said. "I just hope I can hold onto it."
But other former welfare mothers haven't made the transition. Their experience was reflected in studies of almost 7,000 former welfare recipients in Massachusetts. About half found work. Twenty-four percent either moved out of state or relied on unearned income, such as child support and Supplemental Security Income. Others relied on support from family and friends, couldn't be found, or were reapplying for benefits.
An Iowa study of 129 people whose welfare was terminated for six months because of rules violations, likewise found that about half had found jobs, while the other half relied on friends, family and community services.
That's fine in the short run, said David Ellwood, former assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. But "those sources will dry up, and I suspect over the long-term those people will be more desperate than before."
Tennessee law requires state nurses to visit within 30 days those families who leave welfare without jobs. Troubled families or children are referred to social service agencies if needed. But Deborah Johnson, child health director for the Tennessee Department of Health, said they haven't found many families in dire need.
The state sent 15,000 letters to former recipients explaining they could call a hotline and receive emergency cash if they faced eviction or cutoff of utilities. By last month, 351 calls had been received and fewer than 200 emergency payments made.
"They seem to be getting assistance from family, friends or other folks, or they've found another source of income," Johnson said.
But Russ Overby, an attorney with the Tennessee Justice Center, a nonprofit public interest law firm in Nashville, questions that finding. He said his agency has helped about 20 families who should have received emergency aid, but only one had been visited by a state nurse.
"We've seen a number of people with bills that far exceeded their income," Overby said. "Some had been evicted. A couple of them were in shelters. Some were facing utility cutoffs. It suggests to me that the process is not working."
Johnson and Patricia HarrisMorehead, spokeswoman for the human services department, said they were unaware of such problems.
A state study is under way to determine how former welfare recipients are faring. A previous one surveyed 49 former recipients in the Nashville area and found about 60 percent were working. But the responses of some of the other 40 percent revealed that many were struggling.
Miller, a petite woman with glassy brown eyes, lost her $185 monthly welfare check in March after missing three required job-readiness classes. Once, she couldn't find a baby-sitter, she said. Another time, Jessica's eczema required medical attention.
At the time, Miller was a live-in helper for a stroke victim. When the woman's condition required hospitalization, Miller lost her home and income. In the months that followed, she and her children lived a fretful pinball existence, traveling between friends' and relatives' homes in the Memphis area, accepting money and food where they could find it. Miller sometimes went days without food so that her children could eat.
"I've never been in that situation," she recalled. "My kids were asking, 'Mama, where we going now?' I couldn't tell them. I didn't know."
People who leave welfare without work have long puzzled researchers, said LaDonna Pavetti, senior research associate at the Urban Institute in Washington.
"No one has really focused on it so we really don't know anything about them," Pavetti said. "We don't know whether the group is bigger than before, how they're changing and what the implications are for them over time."
As pressure builds for more information, several states are undertaking studies similar to the ones done in Massachusetts. Results may be a year or so away. Until firm data are available, advocates and social observers say they will skeptically view claims of the reform's success.
When Overby, the public interest attorney from Tennessee, recently called the Memphis Salvation Army shelter to check on Miller, he found she had left without a trace.
"They didn't know where she was or how to reach her," Overby said. "I hope she's OK."

Angry New Zealand bookmakers have refunded bets on Sonny Bill Williams' controversial boxing win, attacking the former All Blacks star for his track record of shortened bouts.
The WBA international heavyweight fight between Williams and South African veteran Francois Botha ended in a unanimous points decision on Friday night.
However the fight, which was advertised and scheduled for 12 rounds as per WBA rules, was stopped after 10, drawing an angry reaction from Botha and jeers from the crowd.
The New Zealand TAB will refund bets placed on the 'Pick the Round' option. Bets placed on the 'Head to Head' and 'Decision', despite specifying the bout was for 12 rounds, will not be refunded.
Williams, who copped a battering in the final round, tweeted on Saturday that both camps knew it was a 10-round affair.
"First morning after the fight it's sinking in what a great night it was. We both knew it was a 10 rounder b4 the fight! WBAinterntionalbelt!!," he posted.
Botha disagreed and the 44-year-old is expected to protest the result with the WBA, saying Williams would be a "coward" if he does not accept a rematch.
There has been no official explanation for the early ending.
When pressed on Friday night after an angry Botha reluctantly retired to the dressing room, Williams' manager Khoder Nasser hinted that they cut it short after the big South African delivered several blows to the back of his client's head.
NZ TAB head bookmaker Mark Stafford said his agency was stung by the early end to the fight.
Stafford was unimpressed, saying it was the third time the TAB had been caught out by a Williams fight which didn't go the full distance.
Twice before, Williams had scheduled eight-round fights but they had stopped at six.
"So we were a lot more diligent this time and we didn't want to get caught out," Stafford told Radio Sport.
"It's not really about the money figure. People are brassed off.
"I don't know how it has happened, why it has happened. When they said '10th and final round' we all just looked at each other and said 'what is going on here?'"
The Australian newspaper reported that Australian National Boxing Federation vice-president Alan Moore, a ringside judge for the bout, had no idea it had been shortened to 10 rounds.
"When the ring announcer said over the loud speaker that it was the last round, that was the first we (judges) knew of any change," Moore was quoted as saying.
"Any international title fight is meant to be fought over 12 three-minute rounds. I have no idea what happened."
New Zealand heavyweight champion Williams, 27, pronounced himself satisfied with his sixth win from six professional fights but wouldn't be pressed on his future in boxing.
He now laces his rugby league boots for an NRL campaign with the Sydney Roosters.
