[Look for the podcast play button below.]
I have a fantastic show in store for you. I am delighted to inform you that I am launching yet another podcast series today. I call it the SEX WISDOM podcast series.
Besides the wildly popular Sex EDGE-U-cation series and The Erotic Mind series that have been running for the past year and longer, I thought it would be grand to chat with some of the movers and shakers in the field of human sexuality. So in the course of this new series we will be chatting with researchers, educators, clinicians, pundits and philosophers who are making news and reshaping how we look at our sexual selves. I can assure you that these conversations will be well worth the time you spend with us.
I have chosen a remarkable man as my first guest. His name is Shai Rotem. He is a certified surrogate partner; or a sex surrogate, if you prefer. And he's here to tell us about the critical work he is doing with his clients. This is fascinating stuff, sex fans! Please stay tuned.
Shai and I discuss:
- A working definition of the term Surrogate Partner.
- How a sex surrogate differs from a sex worker.
- Being part of a scripted therapeutic intervention.
- Surrogate partner therapy and the law.
- Who can benefit from surrogate partner therapy.
- The impact of a repressive religious upbringing on sexual wellbeing.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Sensate Focus Techniques.
Shai invites you to learn more about surrogate partner therapy by visiting the International Professional Surrogates Association's website HERE!

Charles Koch: I'm Fighting to Restore a Free Society
Instead of welcoming free debate, collectivists engage in character assassination.
I have devoted most of my life to understanding the principles that enable people to improve their lives. It is those principles—the principles of a free society—that have shaped my life, my family, our company and America itself.
Unfortunately, the fundamental concepts of dignity, respect, equality before the law and personal freedom are under attack by the nation's own government. That's why, if we want to restore a free society and create greater well-being and opportunity for all Americans, we have no choice but to fight...

New Laurelwood
This just in:
They will have a couple new beers on tap, which is de rigueur for any new openings. I'll try to get over there sometime in the next couple weeks and do a review.
Due to everyone's overwhelming support, we have been able to expand to a bigger, better space! Our new Pub & Brewery will be located at NE 51st and Sandy Blvd., next to the Rheinlander.I guess I didn't realize this, but apparently the plan was to shift the original into something not quite like a brewpub:
The new Laurelwood Public House & Brewery will open sometime this weekend. We can't give you a date (since we don't know) but it will be over this weekend.
Our original Pub & Brewery at 40th and Sandy will close Tuesday night to re-open in mid-July as Laurelwood Pizza Co. We will still feature antibiotic and hormone-free meats on our pies, organic tomatoes for our sauces and try to incorporate Laurelwood beer into everything we do. Watch for us later this month!This is good news, as far as I can tell. Although I never got around to reviewing it (I intended to!), the Laurelwood had a lot of virtues, but atmosphere was not among them. I found the current/old site to be extremely loud and chaotic no matter when I went. And there were always scads of kids there--more than most restaurants, let alone brewpubs. That's why I regard this info as welcome news:
We will continue to brew at 40th and Sandy for that pub. Our new location will be a little more adult friendly, but still feature play areas for the kids. You'll have to see the new layout and decide for yourself. Our outside deck might not be open this weekend but next week at the latest.Maybe the kids will be located away from the table next to me. Not that I'm an old codger who likes to have a beer in relative peace, but--oh wait, I am actually an old codger who likes drinking his beer in peace. I am attracted to the idea of a family environment more than I am attracted to families. So, good.
They will have a couple new beers on tap, which is de rigueur for any new openings. I'll try to get over there sometime in the next couple weeks and do a review.

In this post we'll take you through setting up profiles for maximum efficiency, including how to use the mix & match option for simplified autofilling.
Set Up a Fill Form Profile
Let's get started by setting up a form fill profile, such as a profile for your shipping address. Click on your LastPass Icon, select "Fill Forms" from the menu, and choose "Add Profile".
A dialog will open, where we can enter our name, address, birth date, and other information we might be required to enter in a shipping form when checking out online. Name the profile something memorable so you know when to use it, like "Bob Home Shipping".
Create a profile for each combination of name and shipping or billing address, labeling them as you go. You may want a "Work Shipping", "Home Shipping", and more, depending on your needs. If some of the information overlaps, you can copy a Form Fill profile by selecting your LastPass Icon, then "Fill Forms", selecting a specific profile, and choosing "Copy". A new profile dialog will be opened with information from the profile already filled in - this reduces the amount of duplicate information you'll need to enter when creating your profiles.
Add a Credit Card Profile
You'll notice there's a credit card tab in the profile dialog as well, but unless you always use the same profile with the same credit card, consider adding a separate profile for each of your credit or debit cards that you use when online shopping.
Click on your LastPass Icon, select "Fill Forms", and choose "Add Credit Card".
Here you can enter your name, credit card number, start and expiration dates, and other data you may be required to enter when filling out a checkout form. You may have a profiles for a "Debit Card" or "Corporate Credit Card" - whatever will cover the range of your online shopping needs.
Fill a Form!
Ok so now that you're all set up, it's time to get down to business. Let's head to Amazon.com to purchase the items in our cart. When we get to the shipping page and click on one of the fields, LastPass gives me a notification for Form Fill. We can click "Fill Form" and choose the profile we want to use for our shipping address - then LastPass autofills the data!
With that data entered, I can proceed to the billing information, where I use my credit card profile to autofill the form:
Done! Now we're ready for to complete the transaction.
Note that if LastPass does not prompt you with your form fill profiles, you can click your LastPass Icon, choose "Fill Forms", and select a profile to autofill your data.
Mix & Match
If you're on a registration or checkout form where the shipping and billing information are shown all at once (as opposed to separate pages like Amazon), our Mix & Match option allows you to quickly pair up two profiles and autofill your data.
Click your LastPass Icon, choose "Fill Forms", and select "Choose Profile and Credit Card". In the dialog, you can choose a profile from the left-hand side, and a credit card from the right-hand side.
LastPass will then autopopulate the corresponding fields with the data stored in each profile.
More Tips for Online Shopping with LastPass
Here are a few other helpful tips from our team:
- If you create new accounts as you shop, use LastPass to generate strong, unique passwords
- Consider enabling a multifactor authentication (such as the newly-supported Google Authenticator) for increased security
- Use the "Share" feature in LastPass instead of emailing, IM-ing, or texting passwords to friends & family who need access to shared accounts
- Beware of phishing attempts. Use LastPass to launch your sites rather than clicking on links in untrusted emails to reduce the risk of compromised logins
Happy shopping, everyone!
And Happy Thanksgiving,
The LastPass Team

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Retirement System Penalized Older Firefighters, Federal Agency Charged
NEW YORK - The Brentwood, Long Island Fire District will pay $465,600 to settle a class age discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit alleged that between 1990 and 2004, the Brentwood Fire District and Brentwood Fire Department prohibited volunteer firefighters over age 62 from accruing credit toward a "length of service award," the equivalent of a retirement pension, because of their age. As a result, the senior firefighters kept working but did not receive credit for their service once they reached 62. The EEOC said this age restriction constitutes a violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), a federal law that protects workers age 40 and older from age discrimination. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Civ. No. 09-03298 DRH/AKT, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement.
The consent decree settling the suit permanently eliminates an age restriction on service credit, mandates training for individuals responsible for implementing this program and institutes an anti-discrimination policy. Retroactive payments will be made to 28 volunteer firefighters who had been barred from receiving credit for their service because of their age. The settlement also provides for an increase in monthly pension payments to 20 of those firefighters who are still living.
"The fire department's system penalized older firefighters who continued to actively perform their duties and that was a violation of federal law," said Adela Santos, the EEOC trial attorney assigned to the case.
EEOC Acting Regional Attorney Judy Keenan said, "Volunteer firefighters put their lives on the line every day to protect the public. They don't deserve discrimination in return for their hard work and brave service. We are pleased that these firefighters will finally receive appropriate compensation for their years of service."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Author Comment DrEmphy TAR Family Spoiler - 7-30-05-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can confirm that the Amazing Race is down to the FInal 3 teams.There are two teams neck and neck and one about an hour behind.I have the whole thing videotaped.I was visiting this location today with some friends and poooof, just happened upon a Route Marker. I have video coverage - no digital camera - of the last team and the clue box.I received from others that two teams had come before and was told what they looked like.The location is Niagara Falls, NY - that may be the final stop or it may be a non-elimination leg. I have more information coming.
DrEmphy Re: TAR Family Spoiler - 7-30-05-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I showed upw ith some friends who are not locals. The FIRST thing we saw is this box down at Terrapin Point near Niagara Falls. We tape it. We start asking around. Two teams had previous been through around 1:30PM. I pissed myself. I figured a few more had to be around. I find out they were both white families with two children (pretty nondescrip about those families except that one woman was tall and rather overweight - and most of the others involved were out of shape as well)....We then hear that a new team is coming - it was another white couple (average looking american dad with a sihrt that said "festival party" and an out of shape light haired wife) wtih two daughters...one aobut 17, fairly good looking, dark hair, wearing a shirt with a phraes along the front and a younger one with glasses(?) and about 12-13. They run the two hundred yards to the clue, get it, read it - it was one of the blue clues, and as much as I trya nd freeze my camera I cant read whta it says. The girl with the dark hair is the one reading it...she lets out a little excitement upon reading it. They run up the hill (this is a fairly steep hill, about a hundred feet) to the top, the father and older daughter about twice as fast as the mother and younger daughter. We were going to follow them but thought it wiser to catch the other teams. Alas, five minutes later, a lady who was standing near the box wearing a tag that had something written on it included a big number eight picks up the clue box and walks to the parking lot with it. Meaning only three teams came through. We heard they were going to Joseph Davis State Park but when we got there, it was barricaded and its frisbee golf course was only allowed to play the first nine of 27 or 36 holes. There were upwards of thirty cops and alot of younger and older people wearing bright yellow security shirts stopping us...Basically all we found out was that there are three teams left )provided this wasnt a decoy) and they are all fairly average american families (in the sense that none are great looking or overathletic) withs ome children.I DO Have this tape and will send an edited copy to MBR if he wants it. I have NO official verification of this being TAR just what I saw. The park workers were all very hush hush, and no one would give a word. The amazing thing was the ignorance of the tourists. Not one of them made a comment about it being special. Me and ONe other gentleman filmed this, while there must have been 200-300 tourists on the point at the time. Who knows how many saw the first two teams?My guess is that JOseph Davis was the end of the race or a pitstop because it was like Fort Knox.Thats all I have. Any questions?
, posted Sun Jul 31 2005 23:39:30 I was in Costa Rica 2 weeks ago at San Jose International and saw the host Phil Koeghan with a female companion. I stopped him and spoke with him and took two photos with him and my brother.Best part of my vacation! (almost)He said he was on "vacation" but that was July 20 or 21. I wonder if the race was in Costa Rica? (Phil seemed to be acting gaurded and sly.)RobbDallas, TX
DrEmphy TAR Family Spoiler - 7-30-05-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It definitely was Yellow and White...those are similar to the video I have.and another thing suspiciously missing...was Route Markers...not one on the entirety of Goat Island.After asking around though folks, I can guarentee again. I took a trip this morning, asked a worker and he said "I'm not going to lose my bosses ten million dollars - you can figure it out for yourself"He did say however that he wasnt even stationed at the Park, they were stationed in another Park...which makes me believe Joe Davis State Park (four miles of nothing) was the end of this race. I know a few concessions workers at the park, all of whom know nothing...I can try and find this out though.
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2005 11:12 pmhaha I might know those people quoted in the article. Its definitely true. The teams? The first two are VERY vague. Just average white american families, I was told...at least four kids, possibly five, and possibly one team with three kids. One of the women was very large...around 6 foot and 250lbs. The team I SAW was a couple with two kids. Both kids were girls. The dad was rather plain and his older daughter (16?) was much more athletic and pretty with dark hair. The wife was a bit out of shape and looked like a normal american housewife a bit frumpy - no outstanding good or bad features while the other daughter was about 11 or 12 with lighter hair and also a bit out of shape. This was not a typical Final 3 team. I saw them carrying one of the Route Info cards (blue in color) and the older daughter was very happy to have read it. They didnt respond to my "good lucks".
lakeman716 Posted on 8/1/05, 4:34 PM Ok so alot of you wont like the Family Edition of the Amazing race. Big deal. I think it will be good for the kids watching and racing. Going across America. Who can say they did that or have time to, unles your rich. I took my kids to Niagara Falls Sunday 7-31-05 and they were there. We have pictures and the envelope that the clue came in. My kids thought it was great to see the kids racing and wish they could do it. Yes I will be watching with my kids and hopefully they wont edit us out of the Niagara Falls shot since we were right there.
went back yesterday to check around and a few park workers informed me that TAR told them that the Terrapin point race was just a decoy leg to throw people off the real F3. I was told however that for the first time in almost three years TAR was allowed to take a cam into the gorge (very dangerous) and within about forty feet of the Horseshoe Falls, so I think we will be seeing a shot of that.

'And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.' Zechariah 8:13
Suggested Further Reading: Romans 11:13–24
In the dark ages, to be a Jew was to be deserving of all scorn and cruelty, and of no pity or consideration. To what exactions, to what fines, to what imprisonments and tortures, have not the sons of Jacob been subjected by the professed followers of the Messiah? It is perhaps the greatest of all modern miracles, that there should be one Jew upon earth who is a Christian, for the treatment they have received from pretended Christians has been enough to make them hate the name of Jesus; it has not been simply villainous, but diabolical. Devils in hell could not be more cruel to their victims than professed Christians have been to the sons of Abraham. They have been a curse indeed. Among all nations they have been a hissing and a byword. But the day is coming, and is dawning already, when the whole world shall discern the true dignity of the chosen seed, and shall seek their company, because the Lord has blessed them. In that day when Israel shall look upon him whom they have pierced, and shall mourn for their sins, the Jew shall take his true rank among the nations as an elder brother and a prince. The covenant made with Abraham, to bless all nations by his seed, is not revoked; heaven and earth shall pass away, but the chosen nation shall not be blotted out from the book of remembrance. The Lord has not cast away his people; he has never given their mother a bill of divorcement; he has never put them away; in a little wrath he has hidden his face from them, but with great mercies will he gather them.
For meditation: We should thank God for the Jews; through them he gave us his Word (Romans 3:2; 9:4) and his Son (Romans 9:5); he still has blessings to give to the world through them (Romans 11:12). If you blame them for Christ's death, remember that he died for sinners, and that you, as a sinner, were also responsible.

Suicide terror & Shahada
Martyrs rewarded with 72 Virgins
"We welcome every Martyr as if he were a groom among us"
PA TV news report:
Mother upon news of son's death in an IDF airstrike: "We had always hoped for his [my son's] Martyrdom (Shahada), knowing he wanted to die as a Martyr (Shahid). Every time he went out, we would say to him, 'May Allah be with you.' We knew that he wanted to die as a Martyr. Praise to Allah, he sought Martyrdom, and he achieved it. My message to every mother is to sacrifice her child for Palestine.

Swede Kristoffer Broberg cemented his position at the top of the leaderboard with a superb five under par 66 in the third round of the Finnish Challenge at Kytäjä Golf.
Playing only his second Challenge Tour event, the 26 year old posted seven birdies and two bogeys to reach 12 under overall and open up a four-stroke advantage over American Peter Uihlein, the former world amateur number one, and Dutchman Wil Besseling.
Three players – Chilean Mark Tullo, Scotsman Scott Henry and Australian Andrew Tampion - are another shot back at seven under, while it was a productive day for Englishman Nick Dougherty, whose 66 took him to six under.
Broberg made a fine start with four consecutive birdies from the second hole and another at the eighth, and after two bogeys early on the back nine, he picked up two more shots at the 15th and 18th holes.
"I played really well again today, especially on the front nine," said the Stockholm player. "My putting was particularly good, so hopefully that continues tomorrow.
"I played twice here in Finland this month in preparation for this tournament, at other courses. I wanted to get a feel for it and do some good preparation, and it looks like it is paying off.
"I will be pretty nervous tomorrow, even with a big lead, because that can go very quickly. I prefer it to be very close, because there's less pressure, but I'll just try to keep playing the same way and I believe I can win."
Besseling was one over at the turn, but three birdies in a row on the back nine resulted in a two under par 69 which kept him in touch with his rival.
"It wasn't as easy as the first couple of days," he said. "I didn't play as well, but I kept it together and managed to make a bit of progress on the back nine with three birdies and no bogeys.
"Kristoffer played very well, but hopefully I can get back to my best tomorrow and catch him. He was five under on the front nine and I was one over, and it didn't look good at that point, but I managed to pull it back a bit.
"I will wait and see what happens in the first few holes tomorrow before deciding whether to play aggressively or not. You never know what's going to happen in this game."
Henry claims his improved form is testament to a putting lesson from fellow Scot Gavin Dear, and he was delighted a 67 kept him in contention for his first Challenge Tour title despite bogeying two of the last three holes.
"Gavin is a very good putter and on Thursday I went to him for advice," said the 25 year old. "He totally changed the way I was putting. Yesterday I didn't even hit it well, but I scored five under because my putting was awesome.
"There were quite a few things he told me to change with the putter. It was nothing too technical, more just the way I thought about it."
Henry jokingly added: "I bought Gavin his dinner last night, but if I keep putting as well as this I might have to sort him out with a fee. I went from my worst putting performance as a professional on day one to the best on day two. He really helped me so I'm very grateful.
"I'm excited about tomorrow. I feel very comfortable and I'm much more confident now I'm holing some putts. It's great to be in the mix tomorrow and I'll just try to enjoy it."

HILLSVILLE –– It's only mid-September, but the district portion of Carroll County's schedule is already upon it.
The Cavaliers will open Southwest District play tonight when they travel down US 460 to face Tazewell at Bulldog Stadium.
Hoping to get back on the winning track, Carroll County will face a young Tazewell squad still in search of its first win.
"They've got a young group, a young quarterback and their skill people are pretty young," Cavalier coach Tom Hale said, "but they've got real good size."
The Bulldogs narrowly missed picking up their first W of the season last week in a 21-14 loss to Lebanon, that coming after back-to-back shutout losses to Gate City and George Wythe to open the year.
"They probably should have beat Lebanon," Hale said. "Our scouts say they lost it with maybe 30 seconds to go. But they're going to be a worthy opponent. The first district game and having to go down there, we've got to get ourselves regrouped from last week and go down there expecting a battle."
A battle will be nothing new to the Cavaliers, who were shelled 40-0 by a talented Christiansburg a week ago. After rushing for more than 500 yards against Patrick County the week before, Carroll was limited to less than 30 yards on the ground against the Blue Demons. Though the Cavaliers incurred their fair share of bumps and bruises, Hale is most concerned about how his team will respond mentally.
"We've got to execute well and be sharp on the mental side of things, because physically I think we're fine," he said. "We didn't have anything to match Christiansburg, but they've got a fine football team. But for the rest of the year, if we're healthy, we're going to be fine physically. It's the mental aspect of the game we've got to get a handle on."
Hale said the important thing is for his club to realize that facing Christiansburg will be a humbling experience for a lot of teams this year.
"It's my job to explain to them that they lost to a very good team, and that the rest of the teams we play here on out aren't going to be like Christiansburg," Hale said. "That's no disrespect to anybody we play, and that doesn't mean we're going to win or lose. But if we're more prepared mentally and learn from what happened in that game, from here on out we should be fine, at least until the ninth game, and that's going to be a big one for us."
After suffering a couple of key injuries to its line early in the season, it was the skill guys who were banged around Friday. Ulises Moreno played very sparingly against Christiansburg while nursing a tender shoulder, Ryne Ayers turned an ankle and Logan Hodges twisted a knee. All three are regulars on both sides of the ball, so it was more like six injuries instead of three.
Quarterback Blake Bowman was seen favoring his right (throwing) shoulder during the Christiansburg game, but Hale said he believed his senior quarterback suffered a stinger, and that Bowman has been throwing the ball well this week and has participated in contact drills.
Moreno, Ayers and Hodges have also participated in contact drills this week, and Hale expects all three to be ready come game time.

PHILADELPHIA — David Wright still doesn't feel completely comfortable in his second game back from injury, though he's not showing it.
Wright and Daniel Murphy hit solo home runs and the Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, Saturday night in a game called in the top of the seventh inning because of rain.
"I felt OK, I've been lucky getting in some hitters' counts," Wright said. "Still defensively not reacting the way I want to. That's gonna take more than two games."
The teams played in the rain before the game was halted, and it was called after a wait of 1 hour, 28 minutes.
Wright connected for the third consecutive game and second straight day since returning from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for more than a month. He has the most homers by any visiting player at Citizens Bank Park with 19.
Wright drew a walk with one out in the seventh, heading to first base as the Phillies were already coming off the field because of the rain delay.
"It means a lot obviously," Mets starter Dillon Gee said of Wright's return. "He comes back and in two games hits two home runs. He's an unbelievable player. I know we're glad to have him back."
The Mets have won five of their last six series in Philadelphia.
Murphy broke a 1-1 tie with a homer in a four-run sixth. His 12th homer of the season tied a career high set in 2009.
Juan Lagares chased Phillies starter Tyler Cloyd (2-6) from the game with a two-run triple in the sixth. Lagares was 1 for 31 at the plate before the hit.
Gee (12-10) yielded four runs on seven hits with a walk while going the distance. Three of those runs came in a rain-soaked sixth inning.
"I knew that the mound was a little wet, the ball was probably a little wet, but up until then he pitched very well," Mets Manager Terry Collins said. "Dillon's just continued to do what he's pretty much been doing the entire second half, and that's make pitch after pitch. In the sixth all of a sudden it was gone, but it could've been the conditions."
Cloyd lasted just five-plus innings for Philadelphia and allowed five runs, six hits, two walks and a hit batsman. In his last four starts, he has surrendered 22 runs in 19 innings.
"He seems to struggle sometimes seeing the lineup the second time," Phillies Manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He'll have another chance to pitch."
Domonic Brown singled in the second, made it to third on Darin Ruf's infield hit and scored on a sacrifice fly, barely avoiding catcher Travis d'Arnaud's tag.
"He's running good. He's 100 percent," Sandberg said. "He did some good baserunning tonight and set up the first run."
Cesar Hernandez, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley hit consecutive doubles in the sixth to spark a three-run inning. Carlos Ruiz picked up an R.B.I. groundout and Utley scored on a wild pitch.
NOTES: The Mets said RHP Zack Wheeler will be shut down for the remainder of the year. Wheeler went 7-5 with a 3.42 earned run average in his rookie season. ... Collins said Wright will still get his scheduled day off Sunday, despite playing just six innings Saturday. ... Before the game, fans gave a loud ovation for Charlie Manuel, who was not present but received the Phillies' Dallas Green Award for Special Achievement. Manuel won his 1,000th career game as manager days before he was fired on Aug. 16. Rollins and Utley accepted the award in his absence. ... In the series finale and the Phillies' final home game of the year on Sunday, Cliff Lee (14-6, 2.95) will oppose the Mets' Carlos Torres (3-5, 3.48).

Making a comment to a blog post can help you teach, learn, impress, or, perhaps most importantly, draw traffic to your own blog or website. If you comment with care and skill, you'll draw readers and perhaps even referrals or clients. But if you drag the conversation down, you'll hurt your reputation and maybe even make people hate you. If you are ever in doubt about commenting, silence is golden.
The original idea behind allowing readers to comment on blog posts was to expand and enliven the discussion. But for those who comment, other less-noble urges often take over. It's important to suppress those urges, or at least make it appear that you have.
Since I've always found "Do" lists rather dull, here's a short list of "Don'ts" for writing a blog comment that will help rather than hurt your reputation and your business.
Don't blatantly try to scam a link
Sounds obvious, I know. But people do it, a lot. There's nothing wrong with part of your motivation in reading and commenting being a desire to get people to your blog or website. But a comment like, "Great post. Check me out at cluelesslawyerdotcom" just makes you look like a shameless self-promoter. People will remember you, but not for good reasons. An informative (or clever or funny) comment might get you traffic. But let them click on the URL you link to your (real) name rather than dropping your URL directly into a comment that adds nothing else.
Control the troll within
No matter how dumb you think the post (or blogger) is, and no matter what harm you think this person is doing, refrain from insults and ad hominem attacks. It can be tough to hold your fire, given the astonishing amount of stupidity posted online daily. I've had to run away from my keyboard more than a few times to avoid revealing what I really think. If someone is wrong, politely but firmly explain why. And to do so, use indisputable facts, calm, logical arguments, and links to respected authorities.
Don't comment anonymously, ever
Use your real name, every time. This has several benefits. First, trolls never use their real names, so using yours will prevent you from falling into that trap. Also, using your name will keep you acting lawyerly and thinking about your job and reputation. There may be lawyers out there improving their reputations with online pseudonyms, but do you really want to work that hard? Using your name gives you instant credibility and will push you to make your comments better.
Don't jump to conclusions
Even in my relatively short time posting on Lawyerist, I've been amazed at how many comments seem to come from people who apparently read only the headline and jumped to an incorrect conclusion about the message I was trying to get across. A comment can't add to the discussion (or correct a mistake or faulty conclusion) if it does not take the post—all of it—into consideration.
Don't tell your life story
As fascinating as your life story is, a comment isn't the place to tell it. A brief anecdote to make a point is great, but nobody has time to read your autobiography, in particular when posted in a comment to a blog post. There's plenty of room for your epic rags-to-riches story elsewhere online.
Don't forget to proofread before posting
A blog is an informal publication, so comments are informal as well. But do you want to look like (at best) a careless typist or (at worst) functionally illiterate? Read the blog post again (all of it). Write your comment. Re-read your comment. Correct and improve it. Then post it. Unless you really shouldn't.

Officials have identified the Palo Alto man who was killed and his wife who was injured in a small plane crash at South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
El Dorado County Sheriff's officials say the pilot, 66-year-old Steven Lefton, died on impact when the Mooney M20 crashed Monday after taking off from the South Lake Tahoe Airport.
His wife, 67-year-old Karen Lefton, is hospitalized with moderate injuries. She was pinned in the wreckage.
Lt. Pete Van Arnum says several witnesses saw the single-engine plane quickly lose altitude and bank sharply after takeoff.
The plane crashed into several large pine trees and flipped over, landing upside down on U.S. forestland.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

Pigment PY74 is one of the most commercially important pigments of the Hansa Yellow group, considered superior to many others in its class based on both tinting strength and lightfastness. Several PY74 grades with different particle sizes are available. Grades with finer particle size are more brilliant and transparent. Pigment PY74 ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow, with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has high tinting strength and average to slow drying time.
This Hansa Yellow has better lightfastness that other yellow monoazo pigments, particularly in the darker shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.
iron oxides
Fe2O2 or Fe2O3 • H2O
Mars Orange is a bright, extremely light red and appears almost pinkish when contrasted with darker colors. It has incredible tinting strength and opacity. The synthetic form of Mars Orange is made from iron oxides and is cleaner, brighter, and denser than its ochre-based counterparts.
Mars Orange has good permanence and lightfastness.
Mars Orange has no significant hazards.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Orange has been manufactured as a pigment since the 17th century.
beta copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blue PB15:3 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more greenish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

He might use the campaign nickname "Average Joe," but Joe Schriner is no ordinary guy—he's running for president.
Yes, that's President of the United States.
While running for president, Schriner, along with his wife, Liz, and their two children, Sarah and Joseph, is campaigning to bring social, economic and environmental problems to light in small towns across the country.
"We have a vision of changing the country at its roots, instead of putting Band-aids on symptoms," the Bluffton, Ohio resident said.
Schriner's bid for the top office in the country began during the 2000 election and continues now with a goal of winning in 2004. While he doesn't have any concrete political experience—his background is in journalism and counseling—he has "common sense and connections with a lot of small town common sense people," he said.
"I want to uncomplicate the heck out of this country," Schriner said.
During the 2000 campaign, Schriner and his family traveled around the country in a 1974 Dodge van talking to people and gaining support. The 27,000-mile trip also included a bicycle tour of the Midwest.
Currently, Schriner's route covers all of Ohio's 88 counties. Along the campaign trail, the family stopped Monday in Fayette to hear from residents.
"When we go into towns, we look for people and projects that are making [the community] a better place," Schriner said.
In Fayette, he interviewed Carla Green, clinical supervisor at Serenity Haven, an alcohol and drug treatment facility for women.
"As a politician, I would like to see a Serenity Haven in every county in the country," Schriner said.
If people with drug and alcohol problems don't get help, it leads to many problems, Schriner said, including a higher incidence of domestic violence, crime and death.
"The bottom line is we have a constellation of social problems that need to be dealt with at the roots," he said. "A program like [Serenity Haven] is an excellent way to do that."
Schriner also looks for people who are trying to help in underserved areas, including working with the poor, children or the environment.
"We're running as concerned parents," Schriner said. "As parents, we couldn't just sit back and watch society go in the direction it's going."
If people want to deal with problems, they need to stop doing things that cause the problems, especially regarding environmental issues. So, Schriner promotes non-polluting technologies and also asks people to walk and bicycle more.
Schriner found one crusade for the environment in Nebraska City, Neb., where the town of 7,000 residents started an "urban forestry" project to plant 10,000 trees in the next ten years.
"What if every town in America started doing that?" Schriner asked.
Schriner hopes that people hear about grassroots projects and find inspiration to start their own. His goal is to plant as many seeds for ideas as possible, he said.
"We're very serious," Schriner said. "We're intent on winning but for us it's an uphill battle."
The good news for this average Joe is that although he may not be in the White House, he's spreading the word about simplifying life and solving the country's problems.
The Road to Washington
Campaigning for president is hard work, especially without a team of highly paid professionals helping along the way.
Joe Schriner's campaign is modest, to say the least. He is his own speech writer and public relations consultant. His wife, Liz, is campaign manager.
"We don't have millions, so we do the best we can with what we have," Schriner said.
The couple and their two children, Sarah, 6, and Joseph, 4, live in a 1975 Dodge van equipped with beds and a refrigerator.
"It's a low budget campaign, so that's our home," Schriner said.
Family time is important to Schriner. Each morning, the family spends time in prayer. And while Schriner spends three to four hours campaigning, Liz home schools the children.
"We try to balance it so that the campaign never outweighs family time," Schriner said.
Some of the campaign activities on the road include parades, whistle stop events where Schriner holds meetings in town squares, and visiting with residents in town cafés.– July 17, 2002

So this Christmas was a wonderful one. I got everything I could ever ask for and more. I am so blessed to have so many thoughtful people around me. My sweet husband bought me an hour massage at Sanctuary Day Spa (my FAVORITE place in the whole world...next to Disneyland that is) and he gave me a 40 inch art piece that he had made from the following picture (I had mentioned on our Anniversary in passing that this was my favorite picture from our wedding and one day I wanted to blow it up and hang it on a wall in our room. Well, he paid attention and that's exactly what I got):
My Mom gave me an ottoman (which I picked out from the Seethaler's furniture store, Envy) and some awesome clothes that I can't wait to wear!
My Dad gave me cash. He's given me cash since I was 9 and I always look forward to spending that money. I always make sure that I buy myself something I really want instead of just letting the money go into household expenses.
Meg gave me 2 pairs of jeans (which I needed SO badly!!!!) and some dang awesome tops (which I didn't necessarily NEED but I definitely WANTED them).
My in-laws gave me clothes and other things as well. I needed work clothes so badly and haven't had a moment to shop, so I appreciated all of the clothes I got!
And finally we get to the present I gave Meg. It was actually a present I gave myself as well, but this has been a tuff one to keep quiet. I have had this present for 2 months and there have been so many times when I just wanted to tell Meg what the big surprise was, but I kept it a secret and it paid off! On Christmas Eve Meg and I sat by her Christmas tree and she read this poem (WARNING: This poem is cheesy! I've never been much of a poet but I can definitely be cheesy when needed, so that's the direction I took this poem...you do not have to read this obviously, but I wanted to post it for historical purposes :)
Your 2008 Christmas Present
At this time I wish to be
Your very best friend on Christmas Eve
I want to make your every wish come true
So I wrote a little poem for you
This present isn't something you can hold in your hand
Though once you find out what it is you'll think it's grand
You are the best twin I could ever have
So to give you such a gift makes me glad
The tickets are bought, we'll fly away
As twins and best friends we'll play
On February Fourteenth you will leave your house
And spend your Birthday with Mickey Mouse!!!!
So there you have it. A Cheesy poem. But it sure did make Meg cry! And I cried too of course. It has been our dream since we were little to spend our Birthday at Disneyland. Just the two of us. And now that will happen. So if you didn't get the gist of it from the poem, I gave her a plane ticket. And Jesse and Quenten got us a hotel room. And since this year is the Birthday Celebration at Disneyland we will get in FREE on our Birthday! I can't wait! It will definitely be the greatest day ever (next to my wedding day of course) and many pictures will be taken and posted here...and I look forward to that post!
And now I will end this LONG post. I hope all of you had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Travel and tourism is one of the world's largest industries, supporting 260 million jobs and generating 9 percent of the world's GDP—yet the perception held by many outside the industry is that it is a short-term career move rather than one that offers professional longevity.
New research from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), a forum of business leaders in the travel & tourism industry, shows that companies today are missing out on the best new talent amongst graduates due to negative perceptions of a career in the industry. In fact, travel & tourism holds opportunities for job creation to address youth unemployment and gender inequality issues faced by countries around the world. The research findings also show that the industry employs a higher percentage of young people and women compared to the global workforce as a whole.
However, serious challenges have been identified when it comes to the understanding and profile of the sector amongst undergraduates. In an effort to combat those perceptions, the WTTC is launching a campaign to demonstrate the career opportunities available in the industry.
Anyone who works in travel & tourism can participate by creating a 15-second video to explain why they love working in the industry and answering one of these questions:

Timing is everything—and being the first to deliver new and exclusive vacation experiences to consumers is invaluable. Today, Asia represents one of the world's largest growth markets for tourism and leisure.
Given the sheer size and demographic of the region, its timeshare market is primed to experience incredible growth levels over the next 10 years. Several factors—including a growing and prosperous middle class, shifting consumer preferences and attitudes toward vacationing, and the elimination of currency controls—are all contributing to this region's fantastic future development.
Forecasts designate China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia to host 64 percent of the global middle class, and account for 40 percent of global middle class consumption by 2030—a huge opportunity!
Asia's estimated average household income boom, combined with a steady increase in its consumer confidence and spending intentions, are all important growth catalysts for the region. Developers who can capitalize on Asia's favorable economy and lucrative location are best positioned to secure the land and buying dollars of timeshare travelers seeking memorable vacation experiences.

Of the 550 million people who reside in Latin America, an impressive one-third is part of the middle class. And this emerging group is expected to grow across the region—presenting substantial opportunities for the leisure industry.
Interval International's Marcos Agostini, senior vice president of resort sales and business development for the region, says that "both the overall economic health and its emerging middle class are a boon for shared ownership."
The economic outlook for Latin America is encouraging for the remainder of 2014, with growth projected to be up nearly three percent. The global recovery and faster growth in the United States will also have a positive impact on the region's expansion.
An article on this topic in the March issue of Developments magazine delves deeper into highlights from four key Latin American markets: Brazil, Columbia, Peru, and Mexico. Get all the details here!

Vacations have a universal appeal—they're a common interest that crosses cultures and borders, as evidenced by the expansive international presence timeshare already has today.
From Finland to Thailand to South Africa, timeshare is not only breaking ground, but also breaking records around the world. Sales at the Anantara Vacation Club: Phuket in Mai Khao, Thailand, have increased 100 percent, year over year. Kodagu Valley Resort in Coorg, India, is now working on a sister property, thanks to overwhelming demand. And a full sell-out of Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is projected in the next two years.
This indicates that demand for timeshare across the world is growing steadily—a trend we hope to see continue in the coming decade.
But the real beauty of international expansion is that everyone benefits. Consumers abroad have access to the product in their local regions, owners have the opportunity to travel to new, exciting destinations through exchanges, and the communities in which we operate locally reap the rewards from the continued growth of international tourism to America.
Over the years, we've broken down borders to the point where vacations are now a global enterprise. It's safe to say the world is now more interconnected than ever—and when it comes to timeshare, the sky is truly the limit.
Read more about the universal appeal of timeshare in this month's Developments magazine. And I'll see you soon at ARDA World in Las Vegas!

Many of you will hear from ARDA staff later this week at ARDA's Fall Conference in Washington, DC that this has been one of the busiest years on record for timeshare legislative activity at the state level.
More than 25 bills in 13 states were introduced, passed, or killed in 2013 to protect the legislative interests of timeshare developers, timeshare associations, management companies, and timeshare owners.
A few highlights include:
--Resale and transfer company legislation was introduced in Florida, Colorado, South Carolina, and Massachusetts that will provide specific guidelines related to resellers and transfer companies
--Streamlining the Nevada Real Estate Division's process of issuing a timeshare public offering statement (POS)
--Killing two proposed "take-back" bills introduced in Massachusetts and Vermont
--Passing three bills in Hawaii, including one that provides for voluntary de-registration of timeshare fee interests from the Land Court to the regular system at the Bureau of Conveyances
--Helping the governments of St. Maarten and Jamaica introduce comprehensive timeshare legislation that benefits developers and owners alike
You can read more details about each piece of legislation in the October issue of Developments magazine. We will also be updating attendees about our legislative priorities for 2014 during ARDA's Fall Conference.
We are very proud of the work and the efforts of everyone involved—including timeshare owners—to help us achieve the many legislative successes. We look forward to continuing our progress into 2014.

As I travel the world talking to timeshare developers, owners and other industry watchers, it occurs to me that many of them are probably wondering how ARDA can say that it has a global reach when our title has "American" in its name.
Well, the only real part of our charter that is uniquely "American" is our advocacy effort. One of the big things we do for our members is to monitor and impact the regulatory issues that affect timeshare by engaging in lobbying efforts. These efforts focus on the establishment of a legislative environment that enhances consumer confidence and protection.
But beyond this, everything we do is global.
Our convention attracts industry people from around the world, and this year it was dubbed "ARDA World" to highlight the focus on global issues and opportunities, as well as the global marketplace in which we all operate.
In addition, the ARDA International Foundation (AIF) offers professional and educational development and important primary research to our members. We are close to releasing our World Wide Shared Vacation Ownership Survey that will give perspective on the timeshare market in many countries around the world.
So whether our owners want to travel to Breckinridge, Bangkok, or Belize, they will be supported by the "ABCs" of ARDA.

As a part of our consumer education campaign, ARDA worked with RCI and Interval International to issue a news release with consumer tips on "Making the Most of Exchange." We are sharing these with the media, posting on VacationBetter.org, and getting the message on exchange out through our social media channels. After all, this is one of the main reasons people continue to buy and love their timeshare vacations. Here are the tips…feel free to share them! Tips for getting the most out of your timeshare exchange: Deposit early: In general, the earlier you deposit your interval the greater trading power you will receive. This will result in more available vacation choices. Members of the RCI Weeks program can deposit their timeshares up to two years before their start dates. Be flexible: The more specific you make your vacation searches, the less options you will find. Allowing for some flexibility in the dates you plan to travel or the destinations or resorts you want to visit will greatly increase your chances of finding a match. Strength in Numbers: Members who own multiple weeks or points intervals can deposit them at once and may be able to redeem them to secure additional units to travel with family and friends. RCI also allows its RCI Weeks subscribing members to combine units so they can trade up and exchange for an interval with a higher trading power. Exchange Online: Search for your next vacation online at your convenience by visiting IntervalWorld.com or RCI.com. These online sites allow subscribing members to search through thousands of vacation options and complete their vacation exchange in a few simple clicks. Protect Your Vacation: Purchasing vacation protection gives timeshare owners the peace of mind in knowing that if they need to cancel their exchange vacation for any reason, the deposited interval they used for exchange will be restored and they will receive a credit for the exchange fee they paid that can be used toward another exchange in the future. Watch and Learn: Get the story on placing pending requests, finding a pet-friendly resort, and more by watching Interval's informative tutorials on IntervalWorld.com or by visiting RCI.com and checking out the educational videos at RCI® TV.

The Joseph Bond Chapel, joined to Swift Hall by a cloister, is a gem of a space off the main quadrangle of the University which is used for a variety of performance, ceremonial and worship events for the entire University community.
Southwest of Swift Hall and connected to it by a beautiful stone cloister is the Joseph Bond Chapel. Both Swift Hall and Bond Chapel were designed by the architects Coolidge and Hodgdon at the end of the Gothic revival period in America. The Chapel was given by Mrs. Joseph Bond in memory of her husband, a former Trustee of the Baptist Theological Union, the predecessor institution of the Divinity School. Mr. and Mrs. Bond's daughter, Elfleda, married Edgar J. Goodspeed, a member of the university faculty noted for his translation of the New Testament. After her death in 1949, Mr. Goodspeed donated the stained-glass windows in her memory.The cornerstone of the chapel was laid by Mrs. Bond on April 30, 1925, and the chapel was opened in October, 1926.
The Chapel was extensively renovated in 2012-2013. The renovation was recognized with an award from the American Institute of Architects Chicago chapter. Read more here.
As a university chapel, it serves as the location for a wide variety of spiritual and ceremonial events, and also for performing arts events. The Divinity School uses it for weekly reflective gatherings on Tuesdays at noon, for Convocation, and for ceremonial occasions. It is used extensively for weddings, funerals, gatherings by members of the different religious traditions represented at the university, and for concerts. The Reneker organ, a fine baroque tracker organ placed in the chapel in 2012, makes it a destination for baroque and early music, but it is also a valued space for many other kinds of musical performance. It seats about 150 persons.
All the main aspects of the Bond Chapel—its location, architecture, inscriptions, furnishings and stained glass—serve to mark its place (both physically and symbolically) within the University. Please read more about the interior of the Chapel.
The Chapel is open every weekday, and all members of the University community are warmly invited to stop in to Bond Chapel at any time when it is not in use for an event.
To enquire about booking events at Bond Chapel, please contact Matthew Dean, Director of Chapel Operations, at .
If you are considering holding your wedding at Bond Chapel, please see http://rockefeller.uchicago.edu/contact/weddings for further information.
During weeks when classes are in session (Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters) all are welcome to join a brief worship service held Tuesdays in Bond Chapel at noon, planned by a student-led worship committee. These services offer hospitable space and a welcoming community in which to pause, reflect, wonder, and pray.
The Reneker Memorial Organ was dedicated in 1984 in honor of the late Robert W. Reneker and Betty C. Reneker, and was moved to Bond Chapel in the autumn of 2012.
It was officially installed in Bond Chapel on February 2, 2013. For more information about the Reneker organ please visit http://rockefeller.uchicago.edu/the-organs/reneker-organ

SAINTE-THERESE, Que. - Surreal scenes at a Quebec college underscored Tuesday how bizarre the student-related conflict has become — and how difficult it might be to resolve.
Consider this: A court order had forced the school to reopen; as a result, some teachers and parents helped striking students form a picket line to keep other kids out; riot police then burst through to help enforce the court order; and, in the end, the school closed again because teachers weren't prepared to teach.
The height of Tuesday's standoff at College Lionel-Groulx saw riot police use pepper spray and physical force to help 53 students return to class after winning a court injunction.
But the self-described strikers, many of them wearing masks, have received support from some parents and school faculty who stood alongside them in a show of solidarity at the school north of Montreal.
After a few days of picketing, police moved in Tuesday. They issued warnings before bursting in and arresting five people, including a professor from another school.
As they blasted the crowd with chemical irritants, some of the protesters hugged and wept. Some of their adult supporters reportedly did the same.
And it all appeared for nought.
A few hours later, after staff meetings, the college issued a statement: Lionel-Groulx would remain closed for two more days, on Wednesday and Thursday.
The professors said they were too emotional to be able to teach classes regularly.
So the school has shut its doors until Friday, at the earliest, at which point a new injunction takes effect.
"It was a climate that was very, very emotional," school spokesman Yves Marcotte said in an interview.
"The teachers were asked to teach the 53 students but they said they weren't able to — so we cancelled classes."
Tuesday was believed to be the first time police actually tried to enforce a court-ordered injunction during the current unrest.
While several legal injunctions to reopen schools have been ignored amid resistance by picketing protesters, others have been quietly respected. In some cases, schools themselves have elected not to push the issue out of fear of violence and vandalism.
One Montreal lawyer says both police and schools should be doing more to enforce an injunction.
Christopher Dimakos says that schools also have an obligation to keep entrances clear.
The problem with the injunctions is that they don't target a specific person or group, he said. Typically, not abiding by a court order can lead to contempt-of-court charges.
"One of the variables we have with this problem is that it's hard to pinpoint an exact person as to who we can enforce this against," Dimakos said.
But Dimakos says the courts are the proper vehicle for students seeking to ensure their rights are respected.
"Anytime there is a political disagreement, the courts have to step in when the political debates and talks haven't worked," said Dimakos.
"By rendering an injunction, they haven't made a state whether the students are right or not, all they're doing is safeguarding the rights of those who want to go to school."
Marcotte says the school will take two days to discuss how to go about reopening on Friday. Another 247 students have added their name to the injunction-request list, which means 300 students will be hoping to get back to class on Friday.
Protesters vowed to return if the school was to open again.
They screamed at police, accusing them of abusing their democratic rights after they voted, at student assemblies, for a strike.
"It's easy to repress," shouted one of the last remaining protesters, taunting the row of riot police guarding the school.
"In 30 years they'll be saying you were a disgrace! You were a disgrace!
"People will say we were repressed!... (You were) hitting people with billy-clubs, gassing young people."
At the Lionel-Groulx college, where some of the 5,400 students voted in favour of an unlimited strike, the school's director-general expressed exasperation earlier Tuesday.
Monique Laurin was heckled when she attempted to address the protesters and asked them to leave. They called her a government shill, noting that she had been a candidate for the Charest Liberals in the last provincial election.
But Laurin implored the government to also take steps to resolve the crisis.
She called it impossible to try teaching amid such hostility, characterized by injunctions, picket lines, riot police and angry staff and students.
"It's terrible to do this to us. It will create a horrible climate inside the college," she said.
She added, of the students: "I care about them all. The reds and the greens — they are all my students."
There were other clashes throughout the Montreal area Tuesday. In the morning, 19 people were arrested after briefly trying to block the Jacques Cartier Bridge, with some darting dangerously into traffic as police gave chase.
Two others were arrested after a major Montreal highway was briefly blocked.
Education Minister Michelle Courchesne met with student leaders for about 90 minutes Tuesday night to discuss the situation but would not comment until she briefs cabinet on Wednesday. Student leaders said no offers were on the table but noted Courchesne had asked questions to clarify their positions.
About one-third of post-secondary students in Quebec are boycotting classes in a protest against tuition hikes that has lasted more than three months.
But what started as a battle over a $325-a-year fee hike appears to have morphed into a broader struggle over the role of the state, the legitimacy of protest tactics, and the boundaries of authority.
While some student faculties are casting this as a once-in-a-generation struggle, others have quietly ended their school semesters without much involvement in the protesters.
Even after the unrest ends, it's unclear how the government and school administrators will deal with chain-reaction of logistical challenges that have resulted from it. Organizing class space, juggling schedules, making room for new students arriving from lower levels — all these, and other factors, remain up in the air.

Cut the red tape tying up e-medicine
Politico by Randy Milch (Executive Vice President of Public Policy & General Counsel, Verizon)
January 25, 2013
In this country, we spend $3 trillion a year on health care — almost 20 percent of gross domestic product with such costs rising at more than 5 percent a year. At the same time, the state of Americans' health has declined by almost 70 percent compared with the 1990s, with life expectancy now shorter than virtually any other developed country in the world.
The fact that costs are up and health care outcomes are down is particularly frustrating because so many of the potential solutions to shifting the "cost curve" and improving and expanding health care options are literally at our fingertips, if only policymakers could address outdated rules from the days when house calls were "mobile health care."
Many of the most powerful answers to cost and access lie in the anytime-anywhere nature of high-speed broadband networks, which have engendered a host of devices and applications that both empower consumers to take greater control of their own health care and increase efficiencies in health care provision. Real-time video consultations with doctors, mobile devices with applications to improve diet and exercise, connected biometric devices for home health monitoring of vital signs, medication tracking, glucose level monitoring or even heart-attack detection are all in the medical marketplace. Verizon is doing its part by using our state-of-the-art networks to create a communications system that will allow the secure delivery of these e-medicine advances.
But today these technologies are hemmed in by state borders and legacy rules. For example, state-by-state practice requirements and fees inhibit the practice of telemedicine, a simple way to improve efficiency and delivery of care.
Technology allows us to monitor vital signs from miles away, use our smartphones or embedded wireless modules to measure key health indicators, and to examine CT scans taken in a facility across the country. Likewise, there has been a change in the way providers' abilities are measured. Instead of relying solely on state-by-state requirements, credentialing and certification now occurs at the level of health care organizations.
The outdated legal barriers to solutions like telemedicine hurt those who need care the most — disadvantaged communities hit hard by chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, rural populations with limited access to health care, and senior citizens relying on a dwindling number of primary-care providers in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
