Just got back from a two night stay at Chestnuts house and can honestly say we couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. We had a great welcome and given local info. The room facilities are excellent and spotlessly clean and the breakfast delicious. I hope we can back for another visit some time soon.

Wow~ This lovely house is amazing. My love and me spent one night here last week. The boss is so nice and friendly. We enjoyed the room, service and breakfast. All details are fantastic, such as very soft and comfortable bed, warm room, very clean, nice shower, lovely living room and unique breakfast etc. I cannot tell you how much I love this house, but I will come back and stay in this house again in the short future. Thank you boss, you are amazing. Nice to meet you.

Thank you for a very enjoyable short break in Bath. There isn't much I can say here that hasn't already been said!! We tend to rely on these reviews when booking and Chestnuts House more than lives up to these.Just made it home before the snow arrived....did you arrange that for us too!!!

Dear Toni, Three months have passed (June 3) since we arrived to stay at Chestnuts House. This was my second visit and a first for my husband. We wanted to say thank you for your part in our wonderful holiday in Bath. Your gracious hospitality and your attention to every detail made for a perfect B&B visit. We loved our room looking out on the back garden and looked forward to your delicious breakfast each morning. Thank you also, for pointing us to Sydney Gardens and the walk along the canal, an absolute pleasure. Watching for your resident robin in the garden was a special treat. Everything was simply perfect! Regards from Atlantic Canada, Connie Saunders PS Mad Max Tours and Tilley's Bistro were two other high points in our holiday.

As regular visitors to Bath, we had tried to book Chestnuts on previous occasions based on our desired location, its outside appearance, and website recommendations.
Having finally achieved a booking-albeit for one night only, we found that all our expectations were exceeded.
Chestnuts is extremely welcoming, and maintains the very highest standards of comfort, decor, furnishing and fittings. In addition the choice and quality of breakfast was superb, the best we have experienced despite having used many B & B's / small hotels.
What a pity there are not more rooms!

Man I am a horrible blogger *hangs head in shame* I'm not going to make any promises about the future. I am going to try and get myself to post more, but I guess it will happen when it happens. So on to my nails...
I've been seeing "waterfall" nails for awhile and I finally decided to give it a try. Here is my inspiration:
The Nailasaurus seems to have started this look, I may be wrong but I still love it. If you click the picture it will take you to all of her Waterfall nails and a tutorial.
Here is my try at it, but first please excuse my dry and ugly cuticle and I missed a little bit of clean up. It was late when I was doing them and I was tired. Please forgive me my sins lol. Ok here goes:
For the base I used Sinful Colors "Skylark" it is a great polish. The formula was smooth and almost totally opaque in one coat. I did two for good measure.I really like the color, I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I don't like I really have anything else like it in my collection.
Using a striping brush I went through the colors I had picked out and placed random strokes on each nail.
After I had used each color I went through them again to fill in any gaps I had. The polishes I used were:
China Glaze "I'm With The Lifeguard" One of my favorite neon greens.
China Glaze "Hanging In The Balance"
Essie "The Lace Is On" This is a BEAUTIFUL purple polish. I just loved it even just seeing it as a few strokes on my nails.
China Glaze "Pool Party"
Revlon "Hypnotize"
Sinful Colors "Glimmer"
After I finished I decided to add a coat of "Northern Lights" topcoat because I love sparkle :)
All in all I like how it turned out. Both hands turned out a little different. /\ my right hand
\/my left hand
I like my right hand a little better because I made the stroke a bit longer. The left hand looks like too much of the base color is showing.
I really like how this turned out and I plan on trying it again in the future with different colors. Make sure to check out The Nailasaurus's blog to see some great nails!
Thanks for reading and I hope to post again soon.

Sony revealed a mysterious video hinting at what could possibly be its next gaming system.
The video reveals some big news coming February 20 along with a website Playstationcom/Meeting2013.
While we're hopeful for any news of a Playstation 4, it could just be news about Sony's online gaming network.
After all, Sony's starting a campaign Monday to market the mass appeal of its network.
With Nintendo launching WiiU and Xbox testing its Illumiroom which would transform an entire room into a virtual playspace, Playstation needs to deliver something big to the playing field or they'll be leagues behind the other two.

- Bibi Ka Maqbara
A near-replica of the famous Taj Mahal with the essence of a son's priceless emotions imbibed gives birth to Bibi-ka-Maqbara, an amazing mausoleum in Aurangabad. It is dedicated to the warm memories of Aurangazeb's wife, Rabia-ul-Durani and is an exceptional effort on the part of a son, Prince Azim Shah, to express his unparalleled love for his mother. The mausoleum has stood the test of time but is lesser-appreciated than its more-famous counterpart.
- Paithan
Located on the banks of the Godavari River, Paithan is a city positioned approximately 56km south of Aurangabad. One could explore this small yet wonderful city on foot. Glimpses of Paithan's glorious past gets slowly unveiled in the bends and corners of the city. A number of sightseeing options can be enjoyed by tourists. Some of the well-known attractions among them are the Eknath Maharaj Temple, Nathsagar Dam, Jayakwadi Bird Sanctuary, Jnanyeshwari Vatika and the Paithani Kendra.

With California facing a $21 billion budget deficit, the state's elected leaders continue to look away from sources readily seized elsewhere. Clearly, there is no magic bullet. There is little room to cut any more services without bringing pain to the state's most needy elements and, ultimately, higher costs to the state. Also state leaders have run out of gimmicks like deferred maintenance, and fungible transfers.
In fact, it seems that the state has just about run out of every common-sense solution except the obvious: taxation of non-taxed or under-taxed sources.
Here are three examples:
It's hard to believe, but California is the only one of 14 oil-producing states without an oil severance tax. The legislature has dilly-dallied on this for years. When reformers in 2006 qualified a modest tax that would yield $400 million over a 10-year period, the oil industry spent $100 million in commercials to assure the proposition's defeat in the election. Even Governor Schwarzenegger has realized the need to tax oil, although he backed off when Republicans in the legislature sad no to any new taxes. Still, there are two bills in the legislature now that would tax oil severance at 10% -- about the rate of the corporations and business tax. If enacted, this proposal would bring in about $1.5 billion annually, while adding less than a dime per gallon at the pump.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
California now ranks 33rd in tobacco taxes, with the state rate of 87 cents slightly more than half of the national average of $1.45. The tax has not been changed since 1998. The legislature has stood still on the matter. When voters were asked to consider a tax increase of $2.60 per pack in 2006, the tobacco industry spent $65 million in a campaign that defeated the issue. Since then, there have been several modest bills before the legislature with no action. A tax increase of one dollar per pack would add $855 million to the state treasury. In the event the legislature doesn't act, voters will have another opportunity to consider a one dollar increase in 2012. You know the tobacco industry will have its say.
California last raised taxes on alcohol in 1991. In the taxation of wine, the state ranks 49th. California taxes on beer and hard liquor also are well below the national average. At one time, Governor Schwarzenegger proposed a modest nickel a drink tax increase; that idea was shot down quickly by Republicans in the state legislature. The issue is again before the legislature in 2010. If passed, the added revenue would amount to $750 million per year.
There you have it. Three taxes on industries all but ignored in the revenue scheme — three taxes that would yield close to $3.5 billion annually. Moreover, studies show that higher costs at the pump would discourage driving, while higher prices for alcohol and tobacco would improve public health. Sadly, the power of the interest groups associated with these products and the resistance of anti-tax legislators stand in the way. Instead, we face the strong possibility of pulling the plug on poor seniors, disabled people, impoverished individuals who are trying to get on their feet while looking for work, and other segments of California society to weak to fight.
That's quite a price for protecting powerful interests.

By Gene Logsdon on 23 May 2012 for the Contrary Farmer -
Image above: Mature men who believe money grows on trees. From (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2873674/posts)
I was so gratified to see Wendell Berry's remarks in a recent interview ("Wendell Berry: Landsman" with Jim Leach in Humanities magazine, May/June 2012) where he makes a point about economics that is overlooked in these days when divisiveness rules the political roost. The general view is that the economic battle is between capitalism and socialism, but as Wendell observes, "both are industrial systems and they have made the same mistakes in some ways." Both have ignored "the propriety of scale and the standard of ecological health."
Yes, yes, yes. But I would like to go farther (probably too far) than Wendell did. Both capitalism and socialism are similar industrial systems basically because both accept and practice the industrial idea that the fundamental tool to "growing an economy" is the ability to borrow money at compound interest rates. I certainly would be foolish to deny the effectiveness, maybe the necessity, of being able to borrow money. We borrowed to buy our first house and car.
But seeing how borrowed money nearly ruined people I knew when I was growing up, I was determined never to borrow again if I could avoid it and I never did. Repaying a loan over a long period of time often means buying the house or car twice and if one carries credit card debt all the time, to paying for stuff more than three times.
Somehow this kind of insanity has become sanctified in our society as if it were holy scripture. The phrase "free enterprise" is uttered by its high priests with all the fervor of a biblical evangelist uttering "the Lord Jesus Christ." I remember the first time I confronted this kind of reverence and realized with a shock, that "free enterprise," guided by what its followers called an "invisible hand," was almost a synonym for God.
For centuries societies learned from experience that borrowing money on interest invariably results not in "free enterprise" but in the economic enslavement of indebtedness and usury. Humans privately, and as representatives of corporations and governments, eventually borrow more money than they can pay back. They just can't help it. And they lack the will to install the rigid controls necessary to keep money interest from, literally, captivating them.
Farmers who ignore the wisdom of the ages are most at risk in the world of manufactured money. (The most well-known example perhaps is from Shakespeare: "Neither a borrower or a lender be/ for loan oft loses both itself and friend/ and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.") Farm crops grow at their own sweet pace and know nothing about manipulated money growth— as I must have written a thousand times by now.
The trading shenanigans going on presently in the banks are spilling over into the Chicago Board of Trade. Are you watching the grain markets? Corn and soybean prices have been bouncing up and down like a drunken kangaroo on steroids. Expert marketers admit that they are mystified. But I hear very few of them suggest that the basic reason for this instability might be coming from the notion that we can make money grow faster than real things grow.
Banks do the same when they buy up mortgages or other bundles of paper and attempt to sell them in secondary markets for a kind of gain that can vanish overnight because it is based not on real material resources but on human desire. It is a form of usury to me, a method of trying to make something that exists only in the mind— money value— grow without any respect at all for "the propriety of scale or the standard of ecological health." This kind of speculation always comes to grief. Ask J.P.Morgan Chase. Money doesn't grow in trees and trees don't grow on money.

All this cold and snow has me longing for the warm days of summer. If you're feeling like me, maybe scrapping about summer fun might be your fix. Last month AWDML got Campfire from October Afternoon. I could go on about how this is the perfect line for scrapping camping trips, how cute the stickers are, how great the patterns are, but instead I'll just show you a few of my favorite pieces from Campfire.
This paper's called Camp Stove. I'm always up for a good striped paper, and this one is fantastic. The back side is just as good. It's hard some times to find a good yellow piece of patterned paper, but the back side on this one fits the bill.
Do stickers get any cuter than this? Now, I've heard a lot of talk about how cute that bear is, but I think the fox gives him a run for his money.
I fell head over heals in love with this paper the first time I saw it. This picture's good, but in person, it's great! The stars on the paper look like they're glowing. A must have for scrapping pics of my husband and son camping under the stars.
Give me a moment...I'm just imagining all of the great cards I can make with these Tin Pins. They're oh so cute with a rustic feel. Love it! You can check out the entire Campfire Line by clicking here.
I've been having so much fun working with stuff from The Girls' Paperie. I love the color combos and patterns of the papers, the stamps are stunning, but what I love most are the accessories. Every line has beautiful accessories like coordinating stickers, trims, brads, paper charms, die-cuts...the list goes on. Don't take my word for it, check them out for yourself. You're going to fall in love!

Every year I like to make a little something for the ladies in my family. This year I decided to make homemade turtles, but I wanted to wrap them up in something fun. I started playing with the idea of a treat bag and came up with this. I used my Silhouette to cut the template for the bag, but you could just as easily create this with a Cricut file or hand cut and fold it.
The trick to making this bag fun and unique is the window cut into the bag. Again, I used my Silhouette to cut the window, but your Cricut or a large punch like this one from EK Success would work really well, too. Use clear plastic (acetate, vellum, etc.) to cover the window (from the inside of the bag). Stamp on the window using a permanent ink like White Staz-on, or stamp with Versamark, cover in white embossing powder, and heat set.
Treat Bag Supplies
Paper: Jillibean Soup Christmas Chestnut Soup (Whole Cloves), Acetate
Stamps: My Mind's Eye I Believe

1946 Chevy Pickup Truck - Stovebolt Black
An Old Trucker's Truck
"I spent 45 years in management of motor freight-so yeah, I'm a trucker." Jim Adams III.
Even without knowing that, you'd know Jim was a truck guy by the contents of his garage. In addition to this '46 Chevy, you'd find a low-mileage '94 Chevy; his wife, Marlys', '87 Stepside; and the '75 Chevy dualie featured elsewhere in this magazine. The '46 is the most recent addition and the only one early enough to get Jim through the gate at some of the big shows in his hometown of Pleasanton, California.
The '46 was in decent shape when Jim bought it, but had been ignored and needed an owner who would get it back on the street. The previous owner, a friend of Jim's from the P-Town Pushrods custom car club, had intended to be that guy, but it never happened.
A lot of the work had been finished-started, that is-by the owner prior and his friend. It was already painted, but the black was contrasted with white underpinning. The bed was off, but the wood was there. It was rolling on American mags that didn't quite suit the look and the original dipper-rod 216-inch Stovebolt six-cylinder had been replaced by a '57 full-pressure 235-inch Stovebolt.
What it needed was a clean, original look. "A dropped axle, a nice rake, some wheels and tires-the way they would've done them when I graduated high school in '59," Jim said.
The DuPont 99K paint, shot by Tom Thorne, shines like patent leather. The trim is original and Jim kept it all (even the wipers are the original vacuum units). He removed the red striping from the door handles and hood trim. Pinstriper Real Ralph added blue double stripes along the beltline and painted the Chevy shield on the grille. The blinkers are incorporated into the parking lights. Len Catana helped put the bed back together-using the freight box, fenders, and oak that came from the previous owner. The '48 bumpers ride lower to reveal the license plate. Those taillights and turn signals turned into a big project, but in the end Jim got his LED sequential arrows to blink like they're supposed to. All it took was time, imagination, and money. The custom made 15-inch steelies with caps and rings are from Frank Mauro's Stockton Wheel Service-built with the right offset to keep them inside the fenders with plenty of clearance. The tires are BFG radials, 275s and 215s.
To get that rake right, Jim took the stock axle to Mor-Drop in Oakland-where they still know how to bend them-for a 31/4-inch drop. The '46 now runs front discs and new shocks. The factory steering box was rebuilt with a kit from Patrick's Antique Cars and Trucks, which corrected the geometry after getting lowered. "Power steering doesn't matter to an old trucker, and this rides and steers great," Jim told us.
Tom Walsh helped upgrade the 235-inch inline-six, bored 0.030-over and loaded with double valvesprings. Single-barrel BXOV-2 Strombergs feed an Edmunds intake-with Fenton headers at the exhaust ports. Dual pipes are muffled with glasspacks. Jim finished the exhaust with 18-inch chrome pipes, so when you look between the body and bumper, all you see is shiny. The transmission is the faithful non-synchro First gear three-speed with a rebuilt clutch, with a torque tube spinning 3.55:1 gears. Jim says the differential made Second like Third and the '46 has no problem keeping up with highway traffic. It never runs hot either. When stuffing the 235 where a 216 once lived, the fan blades were cut to fit, but the stock radiator hasn't failed yet. On a recent ride, in 105-degree blowtorch heat, the black truck reached 180 once or twice, but never hotter.
Inside the cab, the stock bench is covered in black Naugahyde. The door panels are left unupholstered and rubber mats are the perfect floor finish. Jim replaced all the screws and bolts with stainless steel (he did the same thing on the firewall). Dennis Crooks at Quality Restorations made the old steering wheel like new-and the gauges are all factory and all work. Fresh sound deadening material and windlace, and a new glovebox, are finishing touches. Next on the list is some new glass, plus new upholstery for the seat-nothing different, just some restuffing and some blue piping to match the outside stripes.
Jim drives the '46 as often as he can, around town and to Northern California events, to show people what an "old school truck for an old man" looks like.

UM professor and student consensual prostitution
The Ann Arbor News reports that a University of Michigan Professor of Near Eastern Studies and a UM law student have both plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of using a computer to commit a crime.
Now the University of Michigan is investigating tenured Professor Yaron Eliev to determine if the professor paid the law student for sexual acts after meeting her online.
Both the professor and student were originally "charged with prostitution/accosting and solicitation, misdemeanors punishable by up to 93 days in jail."
The encounter between the professor and the student came to the attention of the police when the student went to the police and reported she was assaulted by the professor after they met in a hotel room.
The student told police she was advertising sex acts online via Craigslist to help pay tuition costs. For an in-state student, U-M Law School tuition is $41,500 a year; out-of-state students pay $44,500.
The student told police she reluctantly agreed to allow Eliav to strike her buttocks with a belt, but got upset when he slapped her in the face twice, reports said. She said she suffered vision problems afterward, but did not have any lasting injuries.
The rarity of how the case began – with a law student showing up at the police department's front desk to report she was assaulted while committing a crime herself – was not lost on investigators.
"Perhaps she should have cracked a legal textbook before coming in to the police station to talk about this," Ann Arbor Detective Sgt. Richard Kinsey said.
Both she and Eliav told police they didn't have intercourse, but engaged in other sex acts, and he paid her $300, according to police reports.
When he was interviewed by police, Eliav said he responded to the online ad because he was interested in experimenting sexually. He said he complied when she told him to stop certain activities and admitted to slapping her face, but said it was "like a game," reports said.
Eliav also called the woman a willing participant and said they hugged at the end of the encounter, reports said.
It appears Eliav knew the woman was a law school student, but it not clear from the police reports whether he knew that going into the encounter. He told investigators the money he paid the woman was simply "a token," and called her "a bored college student."
The law school is also reviewing the matter, said UM spokesperson Kelly Cunningham, adding that student confidentiality rules prevent her from saying more.
Deputy Chief Assistant Prosecutor Steven Hiller said prosecutors didn't charge Eliav with assault because they didn't feel they could prove that crime.
"In order to prove a case of assault and battery, you have to prove (nonconsensual) physical contact beyond a reasonable doubt, and based on the circumstances, we did not feel we could prove that," Hiller said.
Police reports also indicate the student admitted to arranging money-for-sex deals with about eight or nine men in April and May, saying she needed the money for tuition.
The student said she advertised online and got to her appointments using hourly rental cars available on campus through Zipcar, according to police reports.
This is a bizarre case but in part reflects the dominant university perspective that the privacy of a female student must always be protected in a sexually related case. And the Ann Arbor News as well does not provide the identity of the student-prostitute. Part of the bizarreness is that in cases involving prostitution the identity of the prostitute becomes public but not that of the so-called john. So it is fair to ask, why the Ann Arbor news protects the identity of the student-prostitute but not the john professor?
In any case, a key question is whether this case should fall under the purview of the University of Michigan. The dankprofessor believes that such should not be the case if both parties did not use their university positions to facilitate the encounter. However, the university can make their case for an investigation since the activities of the professor and student were criminal even though criminal charges are seldom brought against those involved in prostitution. Note in the case of Eliot Spitzer, the call girl never faced a criminal charge.
So the university is operating in a rather gray area. I do not think the university should be operating at all in this area since I do not think prostitution should be treated as a crime. And, of course, if the university would find it very difficult to take any actions against this professor since he is tenured. As to their taking actions against the student, the public will probably never know what the university does since she is shielded from being identified.
And the university cannot apply a consensual relationships policy to take actions against the professor since UM policy covers only situations where there is a supervisory relationship.
And regular dankprofessor blog readers should note that the University of New Mexico Linda Chavez case is of another genre since the off campus sex work of Professor Chavez was not illegal.

"Everybody who is interested in the ethics of our relationship between humans and animals should read this book."
—Temple Grandin, author of Animals Make Us Human
Hal Herzog, a maverick scientist and leader in the field of anthrozoology offers a controversial, thought-provoking, and unprecedented exploration of the psychology behind the inconsistent and often paradoxical ways we think, feel, and behave towards animals. A cross between Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma and Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods, Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat, in the words of Irene M. Pepperberg, bestselling author of Alex & Me, "deftly blends anecdote with scientific research to show how almost any moral or ethical position regarding our relationship with animals can lead to absurd consequences."
About the Author
Hal Herzog is recognized as one of the world's leading anthrozoologists. He is a professor of psychology at Western Carolina University and lives in the Great Smoky Mountains with his wife Mary Jean.
Praise For Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals…
— Karen Sandstrom, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A fun read. . . . What buoys this book is Herzog's voice. He's an assured, knowledgeable and friendly guide."
— Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
"A fascinating, thoughtful, and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of a major dimension of human experience."
— Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and The Stuff of Thought
"Everybody who is interested in the ethics of our relationship between humans and animals should read this book."
— Temple Grandin, author of Animals Make Us Human
"An instant classic….Written so accessibly and personally, while simultaneously satisfying the scholar in all of us."
— Arnold Arluke, Anthrozoös
"Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat is both educational and enjoyable, a page-turner that I dare say puts Herzog in the same class as Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Lewis. Read this book. You'll learn some, you'll laugh some, you'll love some."
— BookPage
"Hal Herzog deftly blends anecdote with scientific research to show how almost any moral or ethical position regarding our relationship with animals can lead to absurd consequences. In an utterly appealing narrative, he reveals the quirky…ways we humans try to make sense of these absurdities."
— Irene M. Pepperberg, author of Alex & Me: How a Scientist and a Parrot Uncovered a Hidden World of Animal Intelligence and Formed a Deep Bond in the Process
"One of a kind. I don't know when I've read anything more comprehensive about our highly involved, highly contradictory relationships with animals, relationships which we mindlessly, placidly continue no matter how irrational they may be….This page-turning book is quite something—you won't forget it any time soon."
— Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Deer: Lessons from the Natural World
"Hal Herzog does for our relationships with animals what Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma did for our relationships with food….The book is a joy to read, and no matter what your beliefs are now, it will change how you think."
— Sam Gosling, Professor of Psychology, University of Texas, Austin, author of Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You
"This is a wonderful book—wildly readable, funny, scientifically sound, and with surprising moments of deep, challenging thoughts. I loved it."
— Robert M. Sapolsky, Neuroscientist, Stanford University, and author of Monkeyluv and A Primate's Memoir

Summary View help for Summary
The Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) is a program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment to help substance abuse treatment facilities improve the effectiveness and efficiency of care offered to clients. A total of 38 facilities from across the country were awarded funding to implement the NIATx program between the years of 2003 to 2007. Data were extracted from administrative records from 82,274 clients. The data file covers the dates of contact and treatment with the facility, the number of follow-up units of care received, the primary substance of abuse, and basic demographic information.

Data Collection Notes View help for Data Collection Notes
Data were collected and prepared by the Oregon Health and Science University.
Participating facilities extracted client data from administrative records and completed a spreadsheet of monthly admissions data.
Attendance at follow-up units of care vary by the level of care (program setting): one visit for outpatient, one day for intensive outpatient, one day for detoxification, and one week for residential treatment.
Some changes were made to the original data to help preserve the confidentiality of the clients. The client's age was categorized into ranges. Also, the file originally contained exact dates of a client's initial contact with the facility, clinical assessment, and first treatment visit. These three dates were recoded in the public use data file. First the month, day, and year were split out into individual components. Secondly, the day of the month was deleted completely. Next the month component was combined into quarters (January - March, April - June, July - September, and October - December). Finally, the quarter and year were combined back together.
Four new variables were computed to provide additional utility to users in their analysis. The number of follow-up treatment visits the client made after their initial visit was summed (TRT_TOT). The other three new variables involve the three original dates mentioned above. They were used to calcuate the exact difference in days between the three events before the dates were recoded. If the value was zero the events occurred on the same day. Some cases will have a negative value meaning that the event took place prior to the one it is being compared against.
- DAYDIFF1: Difference between when the clinical assessment took place and the date of original contact.
- DAYDIFF2: Difference between when the 1st treatment visit occurred and when the clinical assessment took place.
- DAYDIFF3: Difference between when the 1st treatment visit occurred and the original contact.
Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of participating in the NIATx program. This was done by overseeing the implementation and tracking of process improvement strategies and organizational changes. The desired outcome of the program is to reduce the days to first treatment, increase admissions, enhance retention in care, and reduce client no show rates.
Sample View help for Sample
Facilities were not selected at random for participation in this study. Rather each facility submitted a proposal to compete for awards.
For awards funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) the application process began with over 800 facilities attending a symposium to introduce the program and a call for proposals. There were 327 organizations that submitted a letter of intent of which 46 were selected to submit a full proposal. Eligibility was limited to non-profit substance abuse treatment organizations with at least 100 admissions per year and the ability to control a continuum of care either within the corporation or through networking arrangements. Selection criteria included potential community input, evidence of a leadership commitment, ability to move patients between levels of care, systems to collect and report data, suitable financial health, perceived strength of the project team, and a willingness to participate in a learning community. Ten facilities were funded starting in August 2003 by RWJF, and an additional 15 awards were given out in January 2005. Each award was for 18 months.
The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) sent out a separate request for applications with similar eligibility requirements. CSAT received 88 proposals, of which 13 were granted funding for a period of 36 months.

so ur group arrived at Tommy Tuna five min early for 7 p.m. u were serprised that u were kept waiting more than 20 min for a table. unfortunatly, when the hostess finally led u to ur table u were disappointed to find that u were seated in the back near the washroom. not only that the hostess had to move two tables together one round one and one square ont to accommodate ur group. the diff shape of the table made the seating arrangments awkward nd left little room for everyone to fit comfortably. u mentioned this to hostess but she didnt offer to move u to another table nd made no effort to improve the situation. in fact she was a bit rude nd said that there was a line up of ppl at the door who would be more than willing to take ur table.u want to talk to the manager about it but ur mom insisted that the table is was fine so u stoped. but ur family had the perfect time. u nd ur bro splid the cost which was $ 325. however u cant help thinking about the way u were treated at the biginning of the evening. so u decide to write a letter to the general manager to let them know the experiance. so u r writting persuasive request letter .

Gateway has rejected an unsolicited $450 million bid for its retail business from eMachines founder Lap Shun Hui.
Gateway said the Aug. 23 offer for the retail operations is not in the best interest of its shareholders.
"Gateway's board of directors and management team remain committed to taking the appropriate steps to enhance shareholder value," the company said in a brief statement. A Gateway spokesman, David Hallisey, declined to elaborate on the decision.
Hui did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
Analysts said Gateway's rejection was no surprise.
"It was a ludicrous offer," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group research firm. "What would be left would be a nonviable company."
In March 2004, Gateway bought eMachines from Hui for $290 million in cash and stock. Less than a month later, Gateway closed its retail stores and adopted eMachines' strategy of selling through big-name retailers such as Best Buy Inc., Circuit City Stores Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Gateway's share price has languished amid fierce competition and a struggle to sell its gear to businesses as well as to customers over the Internet and the phone. Its consumer retail operation has fared much better, accounting for 64 percent of the company's second-quarter revenue.
The share price surged after Harbert Management Corp., a Birmingham, Ala., investment firm, disclosed last month that it acquired 10.2 percent of Gateway stock through its Harbinger Capital unit.
Hui's bid, which came days later, fueled speculation that Irvine-based Gateway would be sold.
Scott Galloway of Firebrand Partners LLC, which joined Harbert in the Gateway investment, said Friday that his group has had a "helping-hand" relationship with Gateway management.
Shares of Gateway fell 7 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $1.93 in Friday afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. They are still up about 50 percents since Aug. 10.
Hui is Gateway's second-largest shareholder after Ted Waitt, who founded the company in 1985. Hui previously expressed interest in buying Gateway and taking it private.
Hui faulted Gateway last month for failing to name a permanent replacement for Wayne Inouye, who resigned as chief executive in February. Hallisey, the company spokesman, said Friday that a replacement would be named "in the September-October time frame."
Microsoft has hired the Romanian operations of software engineering and design services company Movial to develop an Android-based operating system solution for the Microsoft Devices business segment.
Microsoft on Monday gave notice that it will be ending support this year for the "workflows" component of SharePoint 2010 Online, as well as deprecating that component for SharePoint 2013 Online.
Don't call it a comeback (because that's not likely). But as Brien explains, there are three ways that today's smartphone market leaves the door open for Microsoft to bring Windows back to smartphones.
Microsoft last week described the confusion it is attempting to avoid by removing the client graphical user interface (GUI)-based controls to defer Windows 10 feature updates, starting with version 2004.

VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Doug Sommers Shoot Interview
Doug Sommers is a name synonymous with wrestling and "Pretty Boy" sat down to go on record about his glorious career. Breaking into the industry at the tender age of nine years old with the help of Harley Race, Sommers learned the art of wrestling the hard way and worked his way up the ladder in all the territories. Amarillo. Dallas. Minneapolis. Mid South. Florida. Anywhere and everywhere, and Sommers has tales to show for it as he talks about working with, and for, some of the biggest names wrestling has ever produced. Terry Funk. Verne Gagne. The Von Erichs. Dusty Rhodes. Captain Redneck Dick Murdoch. Leroy McGuirk. The Gilberts. The Guerreros. Bill Watts. Calling all wrestling historians, this is one interview that shouldn't go under the radar.
Many of us fondly remember Doug from his days in the AWA and of course he spent a long time talking about his time in Gagne's Minnesota based promotion. "Pretty Boy" gives one backstage story after another that have never been heard on camera before. The Iron Sheik. The Midnight Rockers (Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty). Larry Zybsko. Greg Gagne. Curt Hennig. Scott Hall. Nick Bockwinkel. One name after another and no serious AWA fan should consider their collection complete without this incredible shoot. To top it off, Sommers gives his favorite road stories with his partner Buddy Rose and their manager Sherri Martel. In a word, this DVD is fun. It was fun to conduct and, for fans, it is fun to watch.

Walker ad attacks Burke over Abbott land deal
Gov. Scott Walker accused Democratic challenger Mary Burke of wasting $12.5 million in taxpayer money in his latest television ad released Tuesday, while Burke put out her own spot touting her credentials without mentioning her nearly three years as state Commerce secretary.
The dueling ads come four months before the election in which Walker is seeking a second term and Burke is trying to get elected statewide for the first time.
Burke, who previously worked as an executive at Trek Bicycle Corp. in addition to nearly three years as head of Commerce, currently is a member of the Madison school board.
The most recent poll done in May by the Marquette University Law School showed the race to be tied among registered voters. Walker campaigned in Oregon on Tuesday, touring a powder coating plant, while Burke visited a hops farm in Mazomanie before headed west to La Crosse.
The Walker spot, which began running statewide Tuesday, focused on a $12.5 million grant given by the Department of Commerce under Burke's leadership in 2006. The grant was part of a deal designed to lure global drugmaker Abbott Laboratories to Kenosha County from just across the border in northern Illinois, and was the biggest ever awarded by the Commerce Department up to that point.
The grant was given to the Kenosha Area Business Alliance, an economic development corporation in Kenosha County, to buy and develop 40 acres of land in the area. The deal came at the same time that Abbott bought about 500 acres in Kenosha County for possible development.
But more than eight years later, nothing has been built. An Abbott company spokesman did not immediately return phone and email messages Tuesday.
Burke defended the Abbott deal during a campaign stop at a hops farm in Mazomanie.
"It's a great opportunity for the state," she said. "You don't often get a chance for a Fortune 500 company to locate a corporate headquarters in Wisconsin."
But Walker, in his ad, slammed the deal as a waste of money given that Abbott hasn't moved forward with the project or created any jobs.
"Mary Burke says she'll work to create jobs and spend our tax money wisely, but her record as Jim Doyle's commerce secretary tells a different story," the ad said.
Walker, following his campaign stop, said the deal was a bad one because there was no provision to recover the state grant if no jobs were created. But Gov. Jim Doyle said at the time that the deal required the Kenosha Area Business Alliance to pay back the state if the development failed to create 2,400 new jobs.
Alliance president Todd Battle said in 2006 if the job goal isn't met, KABA will sell the land and return the money to the state. Battle did not return telephone and email messages Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for Walker's administration said she was tracking down a copy of the grant and would provide it as soon as possible.
Burke said Walker was using the ad to distract from his own job-creation record. Under Walker, the state has added about 102,000 private sector jobs to date, which comes after the state lost 133,000 jobs the previous four years during the Great Recession when Doyle was governor. However, Wisconsin ranked 37th in job creation last year and Walker isn't expected to fulfill his campaign promise to create 250,000 private sector jobs by the end of the year.
Burke's ad doesn't mention her time as Commerce secretary under Doyle, or the fact that she's currently a Madison school board member. Instead, Burke touts her experience as a former executive at Trek, a company started in the 1970s by her father Richard Burke.
Burke's 1-minute ad was slated to run in Milwaukee, Green Bay/Appleton, Wausau, and Eau Claire/La Crosse starting Wednesday, her campaign said.
